we are that we have to produce large numbers and we will be doing a lot more.emonstrate that we will not hesitate to use the authority of the federal government to combat this crisis. general motors, i guess they thought otherwise and they did not agree and now they do agree. we let them know the way they felt and they can't be doing that. important that we get to the bottom line and quickly. we will do what we have to do our right to get things done. this afternoon, i signed an investing ther department of health and human services and homeland security with the full authorities available to respond to the virus,k of the terrible the invisible enemy as they say. trustedvarro, a very person from the white house, he has done an incredible job for me in terms of negotiation and understanding where the world is but peteromically, will serve as the national prevention -- national defense production act. i want to congratulate him and his family. i know he will do a fantastic job. he has been doing a fantastic job. peter has a phd in economics from harvard and a mas

we know that we are heading for some really choppy economic waters and like when we face any we know we are going to get through that squall and that storm, but it is going to be tough while we do that. when i think of these things, i think of what my dad used to tell me. when you are going through hell, keep going, so we are going to keep going as a state. we are going to take as quick and resolute action as we can to help washingtonians through these difficult times, and that is what we are talking about today. are twous remotely mayors who will speak remotely. our joining us remotely as esd can -- is our esd commissioner susie levine. we will continue to take actions dealing with the health and economic security of washingtonians. we have distributed over $75 million of the legislature's $200 million allocation for the covid-19 response. that is for agencies and institutions to use for our statewide risk on. i know acutely that folks who have been involved in the sit-down service in our restaurants and bars, those who have missed large gatherings because of this, this has caused e

we can't do everything we want to do.my choices would be limited service, buses, having them come more frequent and more of them and to prioritize people further from everything and have less options. only a couple buses to choose from versus areas with a lot of buses and opportunities to choose from. >> thank you very much. we are at the end of item 15. we will move to item 16. did you want to ask about 15? >> i noticed on slide two, the bottom bullet the strategy is updated every two years to inform the budget. that is the subject of our discussion today. i wonder if you could comment in terms how the update of the strategy has informed the budget we are discussing. >> thank you. specifically, the board is required to adopt the equity strategy in advance of adopting the budget. that is why the full report and that action item will come to you on the seventh. i think that the equity strategy has kind of infused every part of the transit budget and was a big part what we discussed in the muni working group, but the servic

we know we are not. we can come together and build out the health care infrastructure on the one hand and also flatten that curve by staying home and keeping distance. we are trying to gather more often than not at 1:00 p.m. we did not today because of the video call with the president and vice president but we will be back here tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. thank you, commissioner, doctor, colonel, director and to everyone, thank you.

we have requests, we have a va hospital where we requested to service patients, we have not received the response yet. we have a request for federal hhs.al stations from we are just asking for help. we will do everything we can to mitigate the spread, but in the time we have, we have to increase our surge capacity. that is my biggest concern, and i wanted to express that to you. pres. trump: what is your second request? request beyond surge capacity is looking at the national guard. pres. trump: we will look at that, i will try to get you immediate approval on the hospital. v.a.ll speak to the we will get that approved for you one way or another. thanks a lot. i might ask briefly while we are waiting for the next governor to if you could say a few words, and deborah, if you could say a few words. v.p. pence: we thank all the governors for your leadership, confrontingin the coronavirus. a few updates for each of you. i want you to make your citizens aware the president signed the family first coronavirus act last night. coronavirus testing is free. paid sick leave, food assistance for

that is being looked at as how we take the services we provide or the skills we have and see what we can do. with regard to the question about the governor's comment, we have not received an rfa or request to do any construction. that would be something we would look at. at this time i think there are other options out there that we have seen private companies are able to do constructions. facilities, but we have not been asked to look at that yet. atare standing by to look them as they come in and work with the white house to best support those. >> forward vice president joe biden floated the idea of building these tend hospitals with 500 beds. is that one of the options being considered right now? >> we do have tent hospitals. they are deployable. the challenge is they are designed to take care of trauma patients and combat casualties. we have a variety of capabilities, much like our fixed facility hospitals, are deployable hospitals vary in size and the specific capabilities are tailored to whatever the mission is. we have supported humanitarian operations in the past. we have sup

yesterday we underlined the fact that we had reached 100 deaths to this morning we wake up and we are at 110. byhin 12 hours, we climbed 10%. is this something we have to expect from now on? can we expect an increase every 12 hours? >> very early on in these cases, if you look at these countries today, the mortality is higher at the beginning because you are diagnosing the sickest, the ones who came in quite ill. i want to remind the american public, still the majority, the risk for serious illness in the majority of americans are low. but that does not mean that you cannot transmit it to one of those higher risk groups, and that is why we are asking for all americans to take responsibility. you are seeing mortality or deaths today from infections that occurred two to three weeks ago in general. the other thing you are seeing is the dramatic and very difficult impact of this virus in nursing homes. that is why very early on the president and vice president had us come out and cms put those very strict rules in place and everybody thought we were being too strict in keeping loved ones

we can't do everything we want to do. my choices would be limited service, buses, having them come more frequent and more of them and to prioritize people further from everything and have less options. only a couple buses to choose from versus areas with a lot of buses and opportunities to choose from. >> thank you very much. we are at the end of item 15. we will move to item 16. did you want to ask about 15? >> i noticed on slide two, the bottom bullet the strategy is updated every two years to inform the budget. that is the subject of our discussion today. i wonder if you could comment in terms how the update of the strategy has informed the budget we are discussing. >> thank you. specifically, the board is required to adopt the equity strategy in advance of adopting the budget. that is why the full report and that action item will come to you on the seventh. i think that the equity strategy has kind of infused every part of the transit budget and was a big part what we discussed in the muni working group, but the servi

we are 435 -- we are down a couple of members. there are a lot of members that illnesses and are dealing with things that make them more vulnerable to the virus. i don't know. it was a waste. it was unfortunate. steve: did the move put members at a health risk? rep. walden: i think it did. otherwise members would have stayed more isolated. they would not have driven here from michigan or ohio. gotten on a plane like i did from the west coast or fly down from new york or somewhere. i'm sure they would have rather stayed where they were. frankly that was the medical guidance we were given. don't move around a lot. stay isolated. stay home. we were not able to maintain those protocols because of this. mr. massey believes strongly what he believes and is voters will have a say in how they interpret that. i know the president interpreted it. the big news is we passed the bill unanimously in the senate, overwhelmingly in the house. i'm not sure there were many objectors. it moves forward to the president. he will put it into law. we hav

when we are finished with the virus, we will win. we will win. when the victory takes place, our economy will go through the roof. it is so pent up, it is so built-up, it is so ready to go in an upward direction. but we have to knock out this enemy. this is a really tough enemy but we have to knock out, all of us, that is all of us. i don't think in terms of recession, not recession. we have to knock out this and we will have an economy. i think we will have an economy like we've never had before. it is all pent up. yes? reporter: i think the question about the actions that the president has authorized beginning in january when he took the unprecedented step of suspending all travel from china, and the efforts to issue travel advisories for portions of italy and south korea and then to begin screening all the passengers, the efforts regarding suspending travel for europe and what went into effect at midnight last night, adding the u.k. and ireland to that, have all been informed by the experts that are surrounding us. what the president has asked

we started last year a policy where after fire, we make sure we wash so we don't bring the ash to the firehouses. we are aggressive on what we are doing with this. arson investigators come in after the firefighters are almost finished with the fire, and then they are walking around the same situation. they don't wear the protective gear because they have to dig into the fire. so they are also exposed, and it's been proven that their site of the house in the fire service has a higher rate of cancer because of that. so we are looking at masks or something that is not so cumbersome so they can still operate. and we are looking at things they can give to them. and they are providing information for us too. but cancer in general in the fire service is a huge problem for us. so we are looking at all angles to attack this. and whether it's policies, make sure we wear we wear the protective gear all the time, air the scene out before we start working on removing the burnt elements. so different approaches to this issue. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner rodriguez. okay, chief velo. tha

at the end of the day we want to make sure that what we promise we will do to support the business community and employees and residents of san francisco, we want to make sure we can deliver on that promise. we know that these are just a few things we can immediately deliver on. that is why we wanted to announce them here today. for resources, you can check the website oewd slave covid-19. if you have questions or concerns or want more information call 311. as i said, we are here to work together. we know that this has been a challenge for so many people. there is a lot of fear, uncertainty and folks wonder how we will get through this. we will get through this. this is not unfamiliar tear for refor -- territory for san francisco. we can think back to the h.i.v. crisis. we got through that because we have some of the best public health officials anyone in the world along with the h1n1 and the sars. we got through it. we got through it by coming together, making good decisions, providing the facts, using data to communicate the message and not living in fear. that is what is going to get us t

when we learned of the critical need for ppe, we knew we had to help. that meant restarting production on isolation gowns. monumental lifting by jockey and compass, fema, and the fda was done in just a few days to be production ready. as a result, we expect to begin delivering 30 to 50,000 gallons per week helping those that need it the most right now. in addition this week, we are also donating 10,000 units of scrubs to the front line doctors and nurses at the javits convention center in new york city. we would not have been able to do this without the collaboration of the administration, representatives from the federal agencies, and congressman brian styles. thank you very much, mr. president and mr. vice president. >> thank you, mr. president and mr. vice president for bringing us together today. i'm proud to be able to represent the men and women of procter & gamble who every day 24 hours a day are working to build and make essential cleaning products, hygiene products, and health care products for families everywhere. these include health care wor

we continue to see an increase would as as we said we time passes. we have over 500 cases now in the u.s. outside of the repatriation cases. and 35 states that have been reported in the district of columbia. at the present time, the risk to the american public remains low. we have several community outbreaks, which we are focusing on. these are areas that we are investigating heavily to understand the transmission can -- transmission mechanisms there. thank you. >> before we go to questions, coronavirus.gov for the american public, for health care professionals. it is a comprehensive website that we are adding to every day. we are working diligently to establish a single website where people can go, to track all cases and where they are emerging. >> the stock market saw huge slides today and people on wall street are thinking about recession. how worried are you that it will happen? >> today was an unprecedented move. we saw an overnight reaction, down 20%. majors what had a component on the stock market. let me make some broader comments. we cannot

we can't do everything we want to do. my choices would be limited service, buses, having them come more frequent and more of them and to prioritize people further from everything and have less options. only a couple buses to choose from versus areas with a lot of buses and opportunities to choose from. >> thank you very much. we are at the end of item 15. we will move to item 16. did you want to ask about 15? >> i noticed on slide two, the bottom bullet the strategy is updated every two years to inform the budget. that is the subject of our discussion today. i wonder if you could comment in terms how the update of the strategy has informed the budget we are discussing. >> thank you. specifically, the board is required to adopt the equity strategy in advance of adopting the budget. that is why the full report and that action item will come to you on the seventh. i think that the equity strategy has kind of infused every part of the transit budget and was a big part what we discussed in the muni working group, but the servi

we know we have to do more, and we have to make sure that we are investing specifically in the african american communities. this is not about data and statistics because we know disproportionately african americans represent less than 6% of the population in this city but over 30% of the homeless population, 30% of the people involved in the criminal justice system. we have lost too many friends and family members to gun violence. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: so we are not ignoring that. that is something that is near and dear to my heart as someone who has lost so many family members and friends to not only the violence of what happened in my community but people who have been displaced from this city. and the fact is i can't even believe i'm mayor right now with such a such a small african american population. and part of the reason why i'm mayor is because my community made sure i was elected. when i visit the chinese community in chinatown and the richmond and other places, i'm embraced li embraced like i'm their sister. i immediameet with the folks i community just like i

but we know if we stop fighting we will never get there and so we fight.t is the strength of who we are as a nation. the strength of who we are as a nation has been about fighting for our ideas. [cheering] let's talk about the joe we know. i'm proud to endorse joe biden to be the next president of the united states. i believe in joe. one of the things that is so reflective of his personality is when he says there is room for everyone, but that is who he is. that's really what he is. he's an individual that has lived a life of incredible service to others. she had made great personal sacrifices in his life. he is experienced in life great pain and glory. he understands who people are. i've been in washington, d.c. for about three years now and i'm going to tell you something. donald trump, he doesn't get it. donald trump does not get it. he doesn't see people. the only people he sees are the people he looks in the mirror and sees. he doesn't see the people. we need a president of the united states who feels, who understands, who is thinking about figuring o

>> we do have what we nee right now.we are asking in every avenue we know how from the state, from the federal government from private vendors, for more because we do know that we do e need more when search hits. so we are both prepared now, and looking forward to meeting more to prepare for the future. >> the nursery spoke with said you are g not acceptdonations at ff general. is that correct? >> i'm not sure what at means. the city is excepting donations whether or not they are being dropped off at her particular te, as the donor site, maybe what she is thinking but we are in fact accepting donations. and they are going to san francisco general among r ot places. >> donations of masks, gloves. those types of equipment. okay. the same is also told us her worst fear is that she and doctors at the hospital will have to go through and make the choices that have been made in italy, new york, deciding who lives, and who doesn't, because there simply is not enough equipment. how enkely is that io here? >> we have lots of proj

we are doing everything we can to ensure that. i think it is very helpful to hear dr. burks talk about the specific areas of risk, because there is a lot of concern out there. there's concern internationally and domestically. and i think the more information that we have to share with our guests about the facts, it's very helpful as we go forward with this challenge. pres. trump: good. thank you very much. >> republic airways. mr. president, thank you for this opportunity to come together as leaders in the aviation industry. and to have a sharing of information which i think is critical. we all represent the men and women caught on the frontlines and we need to ensure they have the tools, resource, and resources, -- tools, and information to do their job each and every day so these efforts are effective. the one thing the aviation industry has proven it does well is it comes together in times of challenge to provide a solution for this country. so i feel very confident that with your leadership and all the folks in the room, that

look where we are now. we said we wanted to win with dupixin. we said we wanted to pull our pipeline through when we step back, we say one of the things that we're doing that we don't need to be the best in the world at but others can participate in, too. active pharmaceutical ingredient to build a big player to make sure people who need medicines get them it's the least we can do i think it could be a sensible opportunity for investors. >> last thing i want to mention, dupixin is a blood pressure, a huge drug. i want people to know your company -- it's with regeneron, but your company is doing a great job with this. tell people how many varied uses there are of this wonder drug. >> i've been involved in a lot of medicines in my career and i met patients and listened to patients in preparation of becoming chief executive of sanofi i was blown away very few medicines i work with provide life-changing efficacy of patients. return them to normal in many cases both in atopic dermatitis, asthma, many other indications, but really debilitating life-co

we do expect by q4 we are hopeful we will get there.through the bottoming process, as we discussed, for those of us who have our wish list ready we might see opportunities in the next few weeks. something that has been a shift is all of these companies suspending buybacks. how does that affect your pe model? mona: buybacks had been the number one source of demand for equities over the last couple of years. last years we had upwards of 800 billion dollars of buybacks and this year we will have close to half of that. keep in mind buybacks came to the forefront because we had low rates in companies rather than investing in r&d spending were looking to buybacks their shares. that extra cash on hand will be used to report through the crisis. it makes a lot of sense for us to reallocate that funding away from buybacks into support of the economy. that being said, over time we will continue to be an environment where rates are very low and we may return to a buyback environment. i know there is talk of regulation getting set up to prevent some

we turn 25 this year and what we do is we scrutinize the bills. it doesn't matter whether it was president clinton, president bush, president obama, president

we need more beds. we know that. we have been working on it. with all a discussion hospitals across the state of new york today. that hasa bed capacity to be increased. it has to be increased within the existing hospitals. we are planning to cancel all noncritical elective surgeries. by definition, elective surgeries that are noncritical can be done at a different time, and now is the time not to do them. set a date probably next week for that. that will free up between 25% and 30% of the existing hospital beds. we have also instructed all the hospitals to maximize capacity. we want to know from each hospital, how many beds can you get in your hospital? we are waving the department of health and dfs regulations about space, etc.. this would be for a short-term emergency basis. what we want a plan from every hospital. if you use every available space, how many beds can you get in the hospital? we started that a few weeks ago. that is now coming to a critical point. with more beds, you need more staff. we have going to nursing schools, medical sc

can we catch up and what we need to do to catch up? dr. cameron: we can catch up. we are behind.ne of the main issues that lots of experts are speaking about is the need to get testing out for in aone, and to do that day -- in a way where people who are tested are not infecting others. there are new approaches being employed in places like seattle, where we might see at home test kits available for people to drop off, get tested, and not even come into a clinic. those approaches need to be kick started and fast forwarded. we also need to see very clear guidance, science-based communications coming from the federal government and its public health officials. decision-makers in the state and local governors and the mayors need to sit and making guidance on when to cancel mass gatherings. now is the time to be canceling mass gatherings, which of course has serious economic impacts that will definitely have to be addressed in tandem. these are just some of the things that need to be urgently done, and done now. i do not think anybody will look at the situation in april and may and wi

if we add more hours, we serve fewer schools. if we add for guards, we can serve more schools and enhance safety. we have chosen the latter and have allocated additional budget to hire 20 new crossing guards, but not expanded their hours. in fact, in talking to many of the guards, including the ones i have seen, most of them live in the community. many of them are older adults. all of them are interested not so much in more hours, but are happy to get out in the community every day. we feel more safety for more schools is going to serve san francisco better than more hours for fewer guards. >> very good. live from twitter, what is the planned schedule for sfmta to hire more supervisors in 2020? >> yes, this is a hugely important question and one of the questions that comes straight out of the muni reliability working group recommendation. if you want a lot of detail on that topic, search for muni reliability working group and also look into the detail of our budget. so in order to -- so back in the last recession, back in 2008, i

and because we we we wanted to e we wanted to do everything possible to implement prop f. we opened 81 cases during the months of july, august and september 2019. of those 68 were referred from the a.d.c. or eligible to build through the grant we were receiving. because we had been accepting referrals from the e.d.c. before that date, there was no way we could have expected the massive boom. if we had known, we could have planned for it. it took us totally by surprise. although we are resilient and my team is fantastic, those three months took a toll on us. by the time i went on vacation in mid-october, my colleague and i were nearing the edge on a daily basis. the psychological strain was incredible, and the only thing that kept us going was our belief in completing this mission. i got sick at least twice a month which added to the stress and limited my time and increased my level of self care, but it made no difference. in so many ways, the implementation has been a huge success. but i want to, as many others have said, push for full implementation of the program so that

so we have to do that again to make it clear that we have staying power and we are innovative and we are dynamic and that we welcome competition and engagement and even the dirty work that will keep us in the playing field for the next 50 years. >> i make this point when i give speeches in china and i'm sure you do, to back. we've been through worse but there is a sense that we are declining. let me follow up because we have little time where david left off and is a great interviewer chapter. you wrote that the u.s. strategy is more confrontational sort of anti-china is more sophisticated than the influence operations i will give you one concrete example i think fast tracking chinese goods through customs and all sorts of things. david asked should we be doing more on information operations and how can our strategy boat believed to be more sophisticated? >> i want to commend david. the last couple of years he has been courageous in ways that is not easy in the public debate and his paper here is really good. when i say that the chinese strategy is more sophisticated, i think that we

we have. i want to be very clear that social distancing should not lead to social isolation. social isolation is very, very bad for our health. bet we have to do is creative about keeping social connections. if this had happened 20 or 30 years ago, we would be in a different position. we have technology now, iphones, most of us have smartphones, most of us have internet connections, most of us are connected through social media. all of those are things they can help us overcome the fact that we have to be -- that we have to distance ourselves, socially. i encourage people to be very intentional about trying to keep connections. exampleseen some great of how people are overcoming that by going virtually for meetings. my daughter is a dancer and she was talking about debby allen doing a dance lesson virtually. there were thousands of people from around the world and she was so excited because that was an opportunity she would not have had, otherwise. people are doing all kinds of things to stay

we have done and what we will continue to do. hopefully, this will give people an update on where we actually need to get to as well. starting next week, moscone west will open up and supplies are delivered this weekend. we are going to use that as a place to thin out shelters so we can start to have places so that people who are living in congregate settings like shelters can be spread out. moscone west will play an important role. i want to talk about hotel rooms. we put out an r.f.p. for hotel rooms to be used for people who are in congregate living settings, homeless as well as first responders and healthcare workers and those who may not want to go home because of concerns around impacting families. we have been able to -- because there is even with the declaration of emergency, there is still insurance to be worked out, staffing needs and security needs and support and resources. so far we have been able to this week secure at least 300 hotel rooms for self-isolating or quarantine for folks in the sro or those who are homel

we will help out and we will help out wherever we can. we can buy in volume. in some cases, great volume. the masks, as an example, which are really a problem. there are right now millions of masks being made. but this is really for the local governance and people within the state, depending the way they divide it up. they will do that, and they are doing a very good job of it. we have a problem with ventilators, we are working very hard trying to find -- nobody in their wildest dreams would have thought that we'd need tens of thousands of ventilators. it's something very unique to this, to what happened. >> reporter: under what conditions would you put the defense production act into action? >> president trump: if we were desperately in need of something, and we frankly will know about that very shortly. we want to be ahead -- we don't want to do it as it happens, but before it happens. we will know a lot over the next two or three days. we'll know a lot. >> reporter: any idea when the remdesivir will be available to the market? and are there any drugs in the

i think we stay here. we get it right. this is a time and place that you do not want to rush something. i mean, it's not just my words. if you talk to democrats on the rules committee themselves, earl perlmutter, you know, this has jurisdictions of many committees. no one got to see. it. it's there at 11:00. ust as your question raises, it's more important that we take a moment to step back, let's work together. there are bright minds. we should be listening to those in the industry. we've got some bright minds down at the administration. here in our committees as well. let them look at it. let us get together and put the very best ideas together. i will promise you that you'll ind a very bipartisan vote for that and not one that slows it up by any means. i think we can get this done in the next 48 hours. reporter: you think the house should stay here until you get it done? mr. mccarthy: i think we can get this done in 24, 48 hours. i think it's critical we do. reporter: what was the concern here besides-- there were conce

we found it helped, but nonetheless we thought we had to do more.hat we had to do which is the asset purchase programs we did today. those are designed to restore the key markets to normal function. why is that important to everyone? these are part of the foundation of the global financial system and the united states financial system. if they are not functioning well, other markets -- it will spread to other markets. those are the markets that amount to households and businesses where they typically get credit. we know the functional financial and a dysfunctional financial system can have very negative effects on the economy. we saw that in the financial crisis. we thought it was quite important for us to take strong measures to support proper market functioning. you asked about households. we don't have the tools to reach individuals and small businesses and other businesses and people who may be out of work or whose businesses may experience a period of low activity. we don't have those tools. . we have the tools we have and we have used them agg

we can still handle that eerie dent hopefully, if we keep to everything right and we slow down, we flatten that curve, that gives our hospitals and nursing homes and everyone else the best chance of writing this out comfortably so it makes a difference, everything where doing, by staying at home. we look forward to seeing you all tomorrow at 2:00. thank you. finishing up this coronavirus briefing with ohio governor mike dewine and officials, we continue coronavirus coverage with a live briefing from the pentagon to read this began just a few moments ago. over the next couple

did we think we were coming into this this morning?34.25 on a new front on a war between russia and saudi arabia on oil prices. the dollar index is weaker by the more than .8%. the yen is the strongest currency versus the u.s. dollar, trading at 1.02. euro and sterling stronger versus the u.s. dollar. some of the worst hit industries in the s&p 500 are the energy industry and the bank industry. energy down 16.5%. no indication of what will happen with the debt outstanding of many of the companies. high yield is selling off as well as investment-grade. it is across the board. the yen is trading at 102.53 right now. u.s. 30 yeare, the is now only off 26 basis points, which is the benchmark we should be looking at. brazil is up 8%, germany is down 6%, the ftse is down 6.7%. also a big move in the russian ruble, worth paying attention to considering the crude market. that will have an effect on russia's view of the oil profit decline we are seeing at the moment. 17%. is only down wti crude only down 16%. i say only good let's talk to some

we have 49% medicaid patients, we have 23% uninsured, we are the ones on the front lines providing primary care to the communities that really need it. >> those uninsured, what happens with those folks? how much i paid back your services? >> it is a great benefit, we have a great relationship with the bureau of healthcare. they administer the public health 330 grants, which includes the community health centers. about 60% of each budget goes to that. it enables us to take care of people that 23% that have no health insurance. so we had a sliding fee according to their family size and their annual income. so they can afford to commit and see us. >> for funding you just saw the congress and the president sign $8.3 billion supplemental what's in there for the committee health centers? >> therees is $100 million for committee health centers and they are still working out the details of how that will be distributed and dispersed. and what it is to be used for. i believe it will primarily be first surprise, personal protective equipment, and to support the health centers sttheir response. >> is

and we are resourceful and we are showing how resourceful we are. and because we are united and we when you are united there is nothing you can't do. and because we are new york tough, we are tough, you have to be tough, this place makes you tough, but it makes you tough in a good way. we are going to make it because i love new york and i love new york because new york loves you. new york loves all of you. black and white and brown and asiaian and short and tall and gay and straight. new york loves everyone. that's why i love new york. it always has, it always will. and at the end of the day, my friends, even if it is a long day, and this is a long day, love wins. always. and it will win again through this virus. thank you. porter: [indiscernible] governor cuomo: the preliminary lan, zach, is it will backfill hospitals. the take the situation we are looking at. we need vend the lators and i.c.u. beds, those can only really be created in a hospital. but then we have to move people out of a hospital, where do you put them? this facility, 1,000 beds ca

we cannot consider the legislation until we get it. but i know that senators on both sides have spent the last several days carefully studying the house proposal, and i know that all of us are eager to act quickly to support american workers, families, and small businesses. even more broadly, senate republicans are absolutely convinced that the house's bill canal only be the -- house's bill can only be the beginning, just the beginning of congress' efforts to secure our economy and support american families. this -- this is a unique challenge, a unique challenge. unlike in any other tough circumstances, our short-term goal is not simply to bring economic activity right back to normal starting tomorrow. instead, our task is to secure the historically strong foundation of our nation's economy and support americans during this period when public health may require that some normal activities simply be scaled back. i've spoken with countless colleagues and committee chairmen over the last several days. we agree there are three major areas

we need to do things remotely and if we think we are sick, we need to call our doctors and ask them are we, do we need testing, testing and finally expanding. we need that so i couldn't say how to buy sideline someone who may be spreading the virus because the goal of the war is to decrease the amount of virus. i am not as confident tonight about the seasonality of it as i was before because it is spreading so much. may not obey that. may continue on into the summer if it continues to spread like this. >> tucker: so what you are saying is typically with flu season, they die out as the sunshine extends and it gets warmer. you think this may be an exception. >> because it's a new pandemic and we don't have immunity to it. it is not slowing at this point. we are seeing people on ventilators and people in the hospital in greater numbers and if we follow all of these guidelines of social distancing, everything we are thinking about doing, maybe we can slow it and i think we will. i am very hopeful that we can actually beat this but we've got to really clampdown now. >> tucker: that is soberi

we know what we are doing, we have a plan, we are executing the plan. any obstacle that we come across, we will manage that obstacle. and we have. i cannot sit here and say to anyone, you are not going to see people pass away. you will. that is the nature of what we are dealing with. that is beyond any of our control. but new york is going to have what it needs and no one is going to attack new york unfairly and no one is going to deprive new york of what it needs. that is why i am here. that is why we have a state full of talented, professional people. a deep breath on all of that. we are doing exactly what we need to do. there is no state in the nation that is better prepared or better mobilized than what we are doing. i feel that deeply and having studied everything that every other state has done, federal officials have remarked to me that they are surprised how quickly a state as big as new york has mobilized. feel good about that. there are two great new york expressions that i use all the time. anything i build in new york always has two expressi

we changed the way we delivered the infrastructure. we changed the way we delivered training. we prepared people to be effective at doing their jobs nd we found it to be a very effective deployment. at this point we have 66 sites coming up ith nellis next with 10 sites. i think we're doing -- we are progress in dous getting m.h.s. genesis, the electronic health system deployed. we are working very closely with because we are really deploying a joint system here. it's a single record for both departments. v.a. starts to bring their sites on, we will have one theance of the record about patient, not where the care was elivered or who delivered the any -- mrs. lowey: can you give us another explanation as to why sites?bringing on why is this so complicated? the v.a. isn't up to standards and they can't get from a disastrous incident that happened two years go, they are not getting adequate health care. mr. tinston: so when you're delivering an enterprise system enterprise health record, electronic health record i.t.m.h.s. genesis is, the element of it is the small piece of the tr

then, we look at how do we keep them. we talk about changing benefit programs, look at having a more professional human resource management system, talk about changing the usa jobs platform when, if you talk to a millennial or gen zer and they apply for a federal job and they require -- they see how many mouse clicks it takes to get a job, it is a difficult process. we hope through this series of recommendations that we will eventually, by 2031, have my -- have 5 million americans entering service every year and every american will be eager to serve. host: i want to invite our viewers to join in on this conversation. your questions and comments about this new report from this inspired -- inspired to serve commission. if you live in the eastern central part of the country, it -- we get to these calls, i want to get your thoughts on how this, what you have envisioned here, what this commission has envisioned, how this can be taxed during this current pandemic. guest: that's a great question. it's interesting we release our

[cheers and applause] because in minnesota, we build revolutions, we lead progressive politics, we practice the politics of joy. [cheers and applause] and we practice inclusive politics. [cheers and applause] so as a minnesotan -- [cheers and applause] i know that we believe that giving is living. and that's why in the twin cities, we are always number one in the region, in the country, for volunteering. [applause] i see it everywhere that we go, that we practice solidarity here in minnesota. how many of you in this room are union members or know someone in a union? [cheers and applause] so i am a proud former axne member, and i know that when my brothers and sisters and i went on strike, it was people who did not know us that would come and would bring us gift cards so we would have money to feed our children, pay our gas, and keep up the spirit to continue fighting for our wages. i know that in minnesota, we are always fighting for someone we don't know. because i know that in cold october, november, it was minnesotans in minneapolis that for 18 days occupied the fourth precinct -- [cheer

stop cars, we thought we couldn't stop cars, we thought we couldn't stop cars, we thought we couldn'took at the financial times's satellite view over china and see how pollution has gone down overnight. yes, of course, this isn't something we can do forever, but change is possible. i think that we should really think that coronavirus is creating a watershed in what we thought could be possible and were could not. we should think how do we use what we are understanding now to make real change in the climate crisis, in the austerity with the hospitals. we are saying that we can do things, so we should be positive about it. henry, do you want to pick up on that thought? could it may may be that we will change or wilful —— will we just revert back in relief to the world as we knew it? i agree that this is showing us another way. we are also demonstrating that human beings are extremely adaptable, which is good. i also feel like i have covered other stories were societies are thought to themselves we will never be the same after this, whether it was the riots here in britain ten years ago,
