again, our goal right now is for staten islanders to take care of staten islanders. i know there is also a plan out here for 1,000 extra beds on staten island. i know that our leadership with dr. adolick and leader of the healthcare system in charge of the state has been involved with the governor and federal people to attempt to see how to decompress this and when we need to do it. currently our goal here in staten island is to continue to handle the patients we need to handle here between the two hospital systems on staten island and work within our network which is what we are doing. again, we need to look at bed capacity the best way we can. brian: i was watching the governor yesterday. he said, look, this -- the number was doubling every three days, every four days, now it's every six days. he is beginning to seeing a lessening of the numbers of people but the number of people are still going up. do you feel as though staten island is close to capacity and in turn will this ship and some of these other places alleviate some of that and do you have the medical pe

staten island is a community where people drive, and staten island, i believe, is an appropriate location for this. i also think that staten island feels that they have not gotten the level of attention of health services that they need. and i've spoken to max rose, i've spoken to senator andrew lanza, and i believe this is going to make a difference. we'll also open one in rockland county on the same theory. we're going to a new phase in this entire process. we talked about early detection, we've talked about testing, we talked about containment. you see those numbers are going up. that means you're moving towards a mitigation phase, and you're moving to a phase where you must expect a significant inflow into the hospital health care system. now, again, this is the great curve they talk about, plus or minus. flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve. that's what you hear every day on tv. you see this curve, we must flatten the curve. the concept is right. flatten the curve, slow the spread so the health care system can handle it. when they say this, i don't think of a curve

and in staten island the college of staten island which is a cuny facility 77,000 square feet. inside it has power, it has climate control, etc.. we would do the same thing we've done here excessively so we know it works. we knowit's feasible . building the interior space, we have exterior space that we could put up a temporary tent for supplies, equipment , etc. that would give us coverage all across the downstate area with proximate facilities to every location downstate. and frankly, it's the best plan that we can put together in and execute in this timeline. we also have beyond the next phase of temporary hospitals, if the white house grants that request we have the navy ship comfort, not really that is going to be on its way soon, it's going to be right here in new york harbor. it is a massive silly in and of itself, 1000 beds, 1200 medical personnel reedit 12 operating rooms that are the pharmacy, there's a laboratory reedit and it should be here on monday. so that will also help us in this quest. and then we're looking at dormitories and converting dormitories downstate.

we're also going to open one on staten island. staten island does not have an abundance of hospitals. staten island is a community where people drive. and staten island, i believe, is an appropriate location for this. i also think that staten island feels that they have not gotten the level of attention of health services that they need. and i've spoken to max rose, i spoke to senator andrew lanza, and i believe this is going to make a difference. we're also open one in rockland county on the same theory. we're going to a new phase in this entire process. we talked about early detection. we've talked about testing. we talked about containment. you see those numbers are going up. that means you're moving towards a mitigation phase. and you're moving to a phase where you must expect a significant inflow into the hospital healthcare system. now, again, this is the great curve they talk about. plus or minus. flatten the curve. flatten the curve. flatten the curve. that's what all you hear. that's what you hear every day on tv. you see

we take you to staten island. one worker last week had tested positive even as, of course, the huge demand spike came in and so there are a lot of workers who are very concerned about what's been happening at the various distribution warehouses that amazon has around the nation. you know, these strikers are now saying we're walking off the job. i believe that we do now have people walking out of the amazon warehouses. twhaps we have hear that's what we have heard, in staten island. they were complaining the company did not shut down the actual warehouse in staten island where the worker tested positive for a deep clean. that's what they were asking for. now, there was a warehouse in kentucky where they did shut it down when a coronavirus person tested positive there, and what they did was they did do a deep clean there. but you are talking about a company that is very concerned about the strikers and of course, what's happening. they are very concerned that they are not going to have workers to fill this huge spik

brooklyn, queens, staten island and the bronx. i wonder, dr. phillips, how helpful that will be particularly for new york. is that encouraging to you? >> yeah, it's very encouraging. you know, when we look at things from an emergency and a disaster medicine standpoint, we've heard this said numerous times now. we look at space, staff and stuff. we've been talking about the stuff that we need for a while from ppe to ventilators to other life-saving interventions. but space is critical. for us to manage what we call the surge of patients that are going to be coming in for this, we need to not only clear out the existing space that we have by canceling elective surgeries which is being done in a number of hospitals across the country. reducing the number of in-patient visits or

what is your take on what is going on at staten island and beyond?t we are seeing is a wave of protests by workers who are deemed, whether by the government or their employers, to be doing essential work while many of the rest of us are staying home. but, who do not think they are getting the safety measures or the compensation that they deserve for it. theon has now based situation at a number of warehouses where there have been reported cases. there has been education by workers, by circulating petitions to the walkout we saw today. the company, as the virus intensified and has as pressure from lawmakers and others have intensified, the company has added additional measures in response. but, this is very serious scrutiny for amazon to deal with. we are in a situation right now where the past might have been too concerned take a risk of collective action, now perceive a risk in coming to work that really changes how they make that decision. it opens people up to the possibility. emily: we will have to leave it there. we are running into a heartbreak

that is a staten island facility where they're planning to walk out at noon.want the facility shut down and thoroughly cleaned. amazon, the corporate parent said they are doing routine cleaning of everything all of the time and they have a safe location. all of these are safe environments for workers. amazon is saying if anybody feels uncomfortable, if anybody is unhappy, they can go home, not paid, for as long as they need to to weather the coronavirus outbreak. so you're seeing people on the ground at amazon concerned at least in this one facility, staten island facility, they say they're going to walk away for a strike or walkout later today. the company is saying the facility is safe. instacart, other companies are having big questions from their workers who are saying, look, how are we safe? we're shopping in grocery stores, going and delivering goods to people. so i think that you're going to see more questions as people get nervous, rightfully get nervous about trying to do their jobs, these essential workers trying to do their jobs when so many other p

employees at an amazon on staten island in new york walked out on what was supposed to be their lunch break this afternoon. they want the facility to be close to what can be sanitized after a handful of employees tested positive, and they want to be paid well, it's closed. amazon and a written statement responded by saying we are working hard to keep employees safe while serving the community and the most vulnerable. we've taken extreme measures to keep people safe. dribbling down on deep cleaning, procuring safety supplies that are available, and changing processes to ensure those are keeping a safe distance. there was a similar scene that involved workers today delivering groceries for the company insta cart. they didn't show up for work. instead, leaving management with a list of demands. among them, more safety supplies, things like hand sanitizer, wipes, and so. they also want $5 extra per order and hazard pay. an additional protection for employees who already impacted by covid-19. like amazon, insta cart responds with a written statement that has just come into us this evening

we have added 690 additional center the psychiatric on staten island, which is opening up. we have the westchester square bronx with 100 beds. 200ave the health alliance, beds. we are trying to have facilities all around the geographic location experiencing the increase. we are also making another shift where we go to covid only hospitals, where people in those hospitals will just have the covid virus, so the staff there is basically working with one type of issue, as opposed to a normal hospital setting, where you could have people with heart ailments and other medical issues. on top of them, the covid patients -- the health commissioner has given us good advice. it is smarter to keep the covid patients separate. you don't want a person going into the hospital with one situation developing covid because they happen to be exposed. this is smart, and i will isolate -- and we will isolate 600 beds just for this treatment. square,ach, westchester and soon downstate, which is in brooklyn. this shows you the coverage we will have when all of this is said and done. you will see i

>> you were going to make this a red state blue state thing. >> as a microcosm of staten island because differ from the other boroughs but you know could it e. that how we speak the pronouns, i mean i think there isn't yet a critical mass using they and even under non-binary not everyone agrees they want to do that but could it go in that direction and yet there's such big -- in the country that we would all be on board. >> okay, so here's the thing about singular they because it's in common ordinary use in the english-speaking world and has been since the 14th century. the non-binary aspect of singular they is a new wrinkle in the usage and so mary webster and the oxford english dictionary both added a non-binary sense to their definition of singular they which was already part of the definition of they. they both have a subset of they to talk about. singular they like everybody or somebody or the rider's they or the student they so now we have non-binary use added to that. it's already used by the majority of english speakers, the vast majority of them. i don't see this kind of dialec

what's the status of personnel in staten island on the ground there? >> personal-wise, we're redistributing. i'm going to be in queens later today working one of the e.r.s. that's because there are shortages. not only do we have doctors that are out, doctors and nurses out sick, but we have higher volumes than the normal amount of doctors to take care of. it causes disruptions and requires reorganization to manage. if it continues, it will get to the point where we're going to have a lot of people working more than they're supposed because colleagues will be out sick and willing to cover them until they recover. that's an issue we're contending with and dealing with. >> doctor, what about ventilators? we're relieved to hear you have enough ppe at the moment. how about ventilators? >> we're comfortable with our current volumes, how many ventilators we have. we reassess this on a daily call. but right now we had enough extra ventilators that we feel comfortable we can continue taking care of patients through the surge. i don't think that's true citywide

let's bring in congressman max rose, whose district is in staten island.essman rose, what's your view of this massive stimulus package? is the aid enough for the people in your district who are hurting? >> sure. thank you so much for having me and i hope you and all your viewers are staying strong during this incredibly difficult time. is this bill perfect? absolutely not. but what we have to understand right now is there is a fierce sense of urgency, a fierce sense of urgency for all those people i see in my district, all those nurses and doctors having to go and serve every day without ppe or at least not enough ppe. they're the soldiers in this front line war and we have to get them these resources. there's a fierce sense of urgency for all those people who are now unemployed, been laid off. to these senators who are saying that unemployment benefits don't matter or that people want to be laid off, maybe we should lay them off from the senate, because this is utterly insensitive, it is ridiculous, let's stop with the filibustering and get something done

. >>> as many as 100 employees at amazon's staten island, new york, fulfillment center, plan to walk off the job claiming the company is mishandling its response to the covid-19 outbreak we speak to the protest organizer coming up. it's march 30, 2020, and you are watching cnbc. >>> good morning and welcome to the show i'm dominic chu kicking off this monday morning with markets in turmoil once again after the dow fell nearly -- or more than 900 points as you can see on friday wall street is looking to pick up where it left off futures indicate 165-point drop at the opening bell. if these futures moves hold, the s&p down by 10 and the nasdaq up by 1 point at this point this is, by the way, the first time in about a month we haven't woken up on a monday morning with futures so-called limit down or stopped because of downside price action. checking the futures over the past 12 hours, you can see the move has been pretty volatile. we've seen green substantially at one point all the way down to where we are now, just hovering above the lows of the session. still, those stock futures very

for amazon, what these workers wanted was that facility in staten island shut down and sanitized.n responded, they're doing temperature checks as of yesterday. they say if people are afraid they can stay away as long as they like. they also provide quarantine pay and sick pay. hazard pay is the buzzword, jake, and i think congress will have to act. >> julia, we saw a dramatic drop in oil prices, what's the reason for that? >> global growth fears. look at america specifically, we're driving less, we're flying less, we're demanding less gas. that's pulling down pressure on prices. the other kicker here is supply from countries like russia, and saudi arabia too is part of a broader price war. this is good for u.s. consumers if and when they use gas, but overall the united states is a net oil exporter so it's painful for states like texas and north dakota. until we see growth pick up or supply reduce, these pressures will remain on oil prices. >> lastly, julia, on friday the president signed that massive stimulus package, passed overwhelmingly by the house and senate. how soon will am

reporter: one facility, fulfillment facility for amazon at staten island, new york, 100,000 nationwide. start with amazon. 100 people walked off the job after noontime today, they are protesting what they call unsanitary conditions. listen. >> we have no masks. i have to wear scarves. we have no masks. they provide us with masks. they say they do, they don't. we don't have the right type of gloves. we don't have latex gloves. we're not in the medical field. they're downplaying everything. somebody needs to be held accountable. they need to take care of their people. reporter: what they're asking for personal protection gear. they're looking for masks, for gloves, not rationing of wipes which some say are only given out maybe twice a week. amazon, and i guess, in response to this saying these accusations are simply unfounded. we're working hard to keep our employees safe while serving our communities and the most vulnerable. we have taken extreme measures to keep our people safe. 13 facilities across 10 states that have coronavirus cases amongst the amazon fulfillment center workers. no

we're going to open a suffolk drive-thru testing office, and we're going to open a staten island testing office. we're going to send up the paid family leave bill to the legislature today. i believe we have a three-way agreement on that it will have a provision to cover all people who are quarantined. and we will be doing that also. e'll also be opening a rocklin drive-thru testing facility. two other points. one, this is an extraordinary .ime in this nation's history it will go down in the history books as one of those moments of true crisis and confusion and chaos. i lived through 9/11. i remember the fear and the panic that existed in 9/11 where a single moment your whole concept of life and society can where you need to see government perform at their best. you need to see people perform at their best. everybody's afraid. everybody's nervous. how you respond, how you act, this is a character test for all of us individually. it's a character test for us collectively as a society. what did you do at that moment? -- when all around you lost their head? right? rogers can ipling. -- roger
