by this morning, westchester county reported tests on more than 1300 people. of those, 14% have come back positive. so far 4,000 in westchester county have been under quarantine. george latimer is the top official. when you have someone in a quarantine, what if they don't have 14 days 'worth of dwroeshs? what if they don't have their drugs? >> that's our job. our job is to figure out whatever they need, even the necessititives of life, we have to figure out how to differ deliver that. >> reporter: vladimir is also thinking ahead to a worst case. >> the civil unrest is always a possibility depending on how large a group we have to quarantine. the question is how many more new rochelles will we see in the nation? how large will they get and will government be prepared to deal with these things? >> reporter: nothing seems normal, even in preparing for our interviewh gernor cuomo at thetate hospital. >> so unusual. >> reporter: the new york department of health required we sit ten feet apart because the state is monitoring the "60 minutes" office where several col

increase the capacity in westchester, that cluster, and new york city. we also have a cluster in nassau now. so wherever we see these clusters pop up. >> 50% -- [indiscernible] gov. cuomo: i have not spoken to them about it at this time, to a point where we have agreement. our numbers are somewhat worse. we don't have agreement with connecticut, new jersey, or pennsylvania. but again on this mandate, this one is not really geographic specific, geographically specific because a business can't pick up today and move to new jersey to get around m&a. >> [indiscernible] looking to move on state budget? gov. cuomo: april 1. if they want to do it sooner, great, but the date is april 1. i'm going to be here. government is functioning, government is here. police officers are doing their job. nurses are doing their job. correction officers are doing their job. a lot of people are putting themselves in harm's way. you have great public service heroes. those nurses who are at the testing stations drawing blood, god bless them. this is public service. we'll be here.

"we're from westchester county health department. we're nurses.re here to do the testing." >> cathy gomez: when this first started, we would ask them also, "do you want us to go around the back so that your neighbors don't see this and they don't get alarmed?" but then as it started becoming more public they were-- >> jones: they were okay. >> pelley: how do people react to your visits? >> gomez: grateful. that's all i can say. they're all kind, grateful. >> pelley: not fearful? >> gomez: not fearful. not fearful at all of us. >> pelley: the nurses collect one swab from the nose and another from the throat. a few days ago, the swabs were being carried by state troopers, three hours, to the only lab in new york certified to do the tests. since then, another 28 labs have been approved. what are some of the questions, chevon, that you get from these families that you're visiting? >> jones: the number one question is, "when will i have my test results? when will i be off of quarantine?" you know, a lot of 'em was, like, "is there a letter that you can

the suny, westchester, also javid. javid is so big that it can take an army corps of engineers temporary hospital. we're also requesting assistance with medical supplies, which has been a big topic of conversation all across the country. we're also asking our federal congressional delegation to fix a law that was passed on the coronavirus federal aid, because of a technical issue, the way the bill was written, new york state does not qualify for aid. that's over $6 billion. that is a lot of money. and we need the federal delegation to fix that bill. otherwise, new york state gets nothing. new york state has more coronavirus cases than any state in the united states of america, that we should not be included in the bill. obviously makes no sense. we're also going to conduct immediately trials for the new drug therapy, which we have been discussing. i spoke to dr. zucker about it. there is a theory that the drug treatment could be helpful. we have people who are in serious condition. and dr. zucker is comfortable as well

westchester, 2,000 additional beds. why more for westchester? westchester has the new rochelle cluster which, as you know, has significant number of people who tested positive. we will do everything we can. but we need federal assets, and we need federal assistance. i am very proud of this state government and what it can do. and we have done things that no state government has done before. we've built bridges. we build airports. we've responded to emergencies. but know what you can't do. we don't have the billions of dollars that you would need to implement an immediate emergency hospital construction program. this state can't do it. no state can do it. to increase hospital capacity of the existing hospitals in the meantime. doh is going to be suspending its regulations to allow existing hospitals to increase their space and capacity. doh has regulations about how many beds per room, how much space between beds, et cetera, how wide a hallway has to be. those are going to be suspended so hospitals can actually use their physical space with more

of westchester. that still represents the new rochelle cluster. nassau 109, suffolk 63, rockland 16, albany 12, orange at 11, dut dutchess 10, monroe 9, ulster 7. number of cases, new york city and westchester, some in nassau, some in suffolk. but you'll see the cases rise in the most dense areas. because that's where people are transferring the virus among themselves. counties with new cases today, allegheny, onondaga, ontario and wyoming. you see the spread continues. we're now at 950, number one in the country, 676 for washington state. again, these cases are more an example of how many tests you're doing and who you're testing rather than a raw number of cases in that area. our deaths have increased to seven. washington is the next highest at 42, total dess in the united states, 67. hospitalizations are 158 out of 950. that's 17% of the cases. when we talk about hospital capacity, just take that 17% and it's always, if you notice, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%. run that 17% against whatever you think the to

that's what we are seeing in westchester. we are up to about 70 cases in westchester now. york city, we only have 11. really see what can happen with those large gatherings and for cluster and that's what we have to focus on. maria: that's right amtrak suspended service. it was the service between d.c. and new york that they are not going to start up again until may. let me ask you about the testing. are we starting the testing now? we've known this know for about two months. i know there was an issue with the cdc sending the state test and saint wait, don't take the test yet. do you have effective test now? are you limited on the number of tests you have? >> testing is limited and this is, i think, one of the main issues we have both in reality and in perception. when you wonder why people are so anxious and the fear, it's because the information they are getting tends to change in their getting mixed messages. probably the single most important thing we can do now is testing. it hasn't been done well. i believe the cdc was caught flat-footed. we knew this was coming, we

some suggest it is westchester because we have that cluster in westchester in rochelle. then upstate new york. we expect a curve in upstate new york, it may not be as high as new york city, westchester, long island, but there will be a curve. if you are not in a highly affected health area now, that does not mean you are not going to have a real situation to deal with because these numbers are going to continue to go up all across the state. for local health systems, this is a new challenge. most health systems have public hospitals and private hospitals or volunteer, voluntary hospitals. they basically exist on a day-to-day basis as two different systems. you have public hospitals and that you have the private hospital system. purposes, ints and normal operating procedures, they operate as two systems. there is little interaction. there is also little interaction among individual hospitals, sometimes even within their own system. you have public hospitals that are part of a public hospital system, but each hospital basically operates on its own, has its own identity. ce

they're relatively right behind westchester. they were like at zero when westchester had started. so we can slow it and we have slowed it. again, you see it spreading across the state, which we said it would. current numbers, 30,000 tested positive. 12% of those who test positive are hospitalized. 3% of the positives are in i.c.u. ok. this is the breath time again. i'm anxious, nervous. what does it mean? 30,000 tested positive. 12% are in the hospital. 3% are in i.c.u. if you look at those 3%, they're going to be predominantly senior citizens, people with underlying illnesses, people are emphysema, people with a compromised immune system. that's what this effort is all about. all the noise, all the energy, it's about that 3%. take a deep breath. now, that 3%, that's my mother, that's your mother, that's your sister. these are people we love. these are our grandparents. and we're going to do everything we can to protect every one of them. and i give the people of the state of new york my word that we're doing it. but we're talking about 3% of the people who talked positive -- test

joining us now is westchester county executive george lattimer. mr.very much for being with us. let me start by asking you if i got anything wrong there, if i said anything that seems wrongheaded to you about the situation in your county and within new rochelle. >> no, i think, rachel, you summarized it very well. it's still a story in progress but we're encouraged by what we've seen so far. >> i do know that the number of cases in your county continue to rise but you do have what appears to be a success story in new rochelle where the numbers, the rise each day seems to have almost come to a halt. is there something specific about what new rochelle did that is not being done statewide and therefore in the rest of the county right now? is there something else we should be learning in terms of public policy from new rochelle's experience? >> i think the shutdown that happened in new rochelle, and credit governor cuomo for advancing this in the one-mile radius in the north end of new rochelle, was really seen as very severe at the time. but it jarred pe

you have westchester, long island and you have up state hospitals. they have their own trade associations. the publics are the publics and the privates are the privates. we said we have to work as one system. so share staff. share resources. if one hospital is -- doesn't have enough masks, rather than that hospital have to scramble, let the other hospitals help. more mutual -- ken's word is a good one, a healthcare family as opposed to these distinct operations. and we work that through. to add on top of the state javis, you then have now this facility, 2,500 beds, and the comfort, the ship that the president sent. these 1,000 beds on comfort are non-covid beds. the federal government, i asked them to make the facilities covid facilities. they want to handle noncovid eople at javis and con fort. -- comfort. which means their function will be basically an overflow valve for existing hospitals. they can't take covid patients. but they can take noncovid patients. when we talk about a hospital getting near capacity, they could then download, if you ill,

westchester was an anomaly. that whole new rochelle situation.ook, we responded to it dramatically, and i want to thank the westchester county executive, george latimer, who's done a great job, but we'll increase the capacity in westchester, that cluster, and new york city. we also have a cluster in nassau now. so wherever we see these clusters pop up. >> governor -- >> does the 50% rule apply -- it's just new york state? you didn't get an agreement from neighboring governors? >> i have not spoken to them about it at this time, to a point where we have agreement. our numbers are somewhat worse. we don't yet have agreement with connecticut, new jersey, or pennsylvania. but again, on this mandate, this one is not really geographically specific, because a business can't pick up today and move to new jersey to get around the mandate. >> how fast are you looking to move on the state budget? >> april 1. >> what are you doing -- >> if they want to do it sooner, great. but the date is april 1. i'm going to be here. government is functioning. government i

we will use stony brook, westchester. president trump to deliver yesterday before the series of requests in the morning, he did the briefing in the afternoon, and he responded to those requests that is government working. that is government working quickly. i think him for it. it makes a difference to new york. we are getting the emergency hospitals. those are 1000 beds right there with the equipment, with the ventilators, with the staffing. so that is a big deal. the president declared what is called a major disaster tolaration that allows fema help us. there is normally 75/25 split between the cost of those services. federal government pays 75 come the state pays 25. i said to the president, i cannot pay the 25. we just don't have those kinds of resources. the federal government has the authority to waive that 25 so the federal government pays all 100%. that is what the president is doing. i appreciate that. i also asked for the fda to expedite the approval of an experimental drug that we are working on here in the stat

some suggest it's westchester because we had that cluster in westchester, if you remember, in new rochelle. and then upstate new york. we expect a curve in upstate new york also. it may not be as high, obviously, as new york city, westchester, long island, but there will be a curve. so if you are not in a highly affected health area now, that doesn't mean you're not going to have a real situation to deal with, because these numbers are just going to continue to go up all across the state. so for a local health system, this is a new challenge. most health systems have public hospitals and then they have private hospitals or volunteer, voluntary hospitals. and they basically exist on a day-to-day basis as two different systems. so you have public hospitals and then you have the private hospital system. and for all intents and purposes, in normal operating procedures, they operate as two systems. there's very little interaction. there's also very little interaction among individual hospitals, sometimes even within their own system. so you have public hospitals that are part of a public hospit

nassau county is 3,000, relatively right behind westchester. they were at, like, zero when westchester started. so we can slow it and we have slowed it. again, you see it spreading across the state which we said it would. current numbers, 30,000 test ed positive. 12% of those who test positive are hospitalized. 3% of the positives are in icu. okay? this is deep breath time again. i'm anxious. i'm nervous. what does it mean? 30,000 tested positive, 12% are in the hospital, 3% are in icu. if you look at those 3%, they're going to be predominantly senior citizens, people with underlying illnesses, people with emphysema, people with a compromised immune system. that's what this effort is all about. all the noise, all the energy, it's about that 3%. take a deep breath. now, that 3%, that's my mother, that's your mother, that's your sister. these are people we love. these are our grandparents, and we're going to do everything we can to protect every one of them. i give the people of the state of new york my word that we're doing it. but we're talking

in at what we did westchester. that was the hottest cluster in of america.tates we closed the schools. gatherings. we brought in testing. and we have dramatically slowed increase. nassau county has 3,000. relatively right behind westchester. they were like at zero when started.er had so we can slow it down and we it. slowed again, you see it spreading across the state. would.e said it tested.numbers, 30,000 positive. 12% of those who test positive hospitalized. in f the positives are i.c.u. ok. is the -- deep breath time. anxious, nervous. what does it mean? 30,000 tested positive. hospital. the i.c.u.in if you look at those 3%, they're be predominantly senior citizens, people with underlying are emphysema,le people with a compromised immune system. hat's what this effort is all about. all the noise, all the energy, it's about that 3%. take a deep breath. 3%, that's my mother, your your mother, that's sister. these are people we love. these are our grandparents. everythingoing to do we can to protect every one of t

michael israel, president and ceo of westchester medical center, and dan cresswell, commissioner new york city emergency management department. let me thank them all very much for being here. we had a great meeting. i will refer to it in a moment. let me wish everyone happy national doctor's day. this is a day that doctors are truly busy and truly stepping up to their oath and passion and literally saving lives. we honor all of the doctors in the state of new york today. let me also thank the people from the javits center. he javits center has done many magnificent exhibitions and transformations and they never cease to amaze me. this is a transformation i don't think anyone could ever anticipate. 2500 beds as an emergency hospital. it is a partnership between state and federal government. i want to thank the federal government very much for what they have done. the army corps of engineers did a fantastic job moving in here and getting things set up as quickly as possible. it will become operational today. receiving the first few patients. we will start to run the facility and we wil

they're relatively right behind westchester. they were at like zero when westchester had started.so we can slow it, and we have slowed it. again, you see it spreading across the state. which we said it would. current numbers, 30,000 tested positive. 12% of those who test positive are hospitalized. 3% of the positives are in icu. okay. this is deep breath time again. i'm anxious. i'm nervous. what does it mean? 30,000 tested positive. 12% are in the hospital. 3% are in icu. if you look at those 3%, they're going to be predominantly senior citizens, people with underlying illnesses, people with emphysema, people with a compromised immune system. that's what this effort is all about. all the noise, all the energy, it's about that 3%. take a deep breath. now, that 3%, that's my mother, that's your mother, that's your sister. these are people we love. these are our grandparents. and we're going to do everything we can to protect every one of them. i give the people of the state of new york my word that we're doing it. but we're talking about 3% of the people who tested positive who we'

we had that cluster in westchester.nd in upstate new york. we expect a curve in upstate new york also, it may not be as high obviously as new york city, westchester and long island, but there will be a curve, so if you are not in a highly affected health area now, that does not mean you are not going to have a real situation to deal with because these numbers are just going to continue to go up all across the state. so for the local health system, this is a new challenge, most health systems have public hospitals and then they have private hospitals or volunteer, voluntary hospitals. they basically exist on a day-to-day basis as two different systems. so you have public hospitals and then you have the private hospital system. and for all intensive purposes, and normal operating procedures, they operate as to systems, very little interaction. there is also very little interaction among individual hospitals sometimes even with their own system. so you have public hospitals that are part of a public hospital system, each h

or does that mean we're doing more tests than california or westchester?he middle, and nobody can tell you. total number of people tested, we're up to 45,000. number of new tests, this is a rate that we watch. what is the rate of hospitalization? again, because this is all about hospital capacity, right? 1600 out of 10,000. that's roughly 15% of the cases. it's been running about 14, 15. it's gone as high as 20%, 21%. so actually 15% rate of hospitalization is not a bad number. it's actually down from where it was. the more refined the number is of those who are hospitalized, how many require the ventilators, because the ventilators are the piece of equipment that is most scarce, that's the next refinement of these numbers that we have to do. again, the context on the numbers is important. we're talking 10,000, et cetera. you look at any world health organization or the nih, or whatever, any of the other countries are saying, you have to expect that at the end of the day, 40% to 80% of the population is going to be infected. so the only question is, how fa

york, and new york is beyond the city itself, including the downstate area, both the island and westchester. and i think what we are going to see is that balancing that the governor is talking about, balance within the system, balance without the system, beyond it as we go forward as we encounter more and more stress. with each day that goes on, the stress points will increase. as a result, that balancing is absolutely essential. and because of the leadership of the governor, it is clear to everybody that we are going to be one cohesive family in tackling this. >> [inaudible] gov. cuomo: yeah, we just spent a couple hours doing it and it is complicated. let me give you the top line. right now, basically the hostile -- hospital systems operate as basically separate systems, the public hospitals, the greater new york hospitals, westchester hospitals, long island hospitals, and then state hospitals. they have their own trade associations and publics are public and private's are private. we said we have to work as one system. so share staff, share resources. if one hospital does not have enough

in westchester county. more cases. ourfocus westchester county. there will be more cases. our focus today is on what we believe is an increasingly vulnerable population. it appears from some of the worldwide data we have collected that seniors in particular, particularly seniors who have other health challenges, represent the most vulnerable population. across the united states, infection rates are now impacting businesses, the economy and education. there is bitter disappointment in san francisco asa disappointment in san francisco as a school trip to china is cancelled. we have been waiting for this trip for nearly a decade now and we have been promoting it, fundraising for it, donating and stuff like that, but to see it not happen is just really sad. that, but to see it not happen isjust really sad. we were all really bummed because we were looking forward to it. authorities are urging vulnerable people to be cautious and encouraging employees to work from home while also reminding people that the risk o

most of the cases in new york have been in the metro area, new york city, westchester, and long island how he has been dealing with this crisis? of course, he's changed very much the way he has spoken about covid—19 over the last couple of weeks. how are people on the streets feeling about him and how he is dealing with things? honestly, he has been very, to say the least, uneven, inconsistent, came out and called the virus a hoax. and then he said later i didn't mean the virus, in the media coverage of it. and then vice president pence, who has been charged with kind of leading a taskforce on covid—19, really convinced him that an oval office address, the first of his presidency, was necessary and there were a couple of times he went off the teleprompter and made some inaccurate statements they then had to clean up. and the stock market, as you know, went down dramatically right after that address. but, honestly, there's so much going on right now. i know from new york and connecticut, working very closely, the focus is really on the governor, governor cuomo in new york has a daily br

county resident we have one of the highest rates right now of people being quarantined in westchester county and there was a major media outlet that ran a story of someone on a train that was in china and said that it was in westchester county so i think it's media professionals we also have to be very careful that we're doing our due diligence before we put anything out and my final advice is that we've talked a lot about having a contingency plan and i think that as business owners you need to have one right now and as marketing professionals you also need to have one for what you're going to do with your agency and what content you're putting out there great advice kristen ruby ruby media group dot com thank you as always for stepping into the big picture thanks for having me helen. again this week coronavirus is the story of the week and the public health sector is in overdrive to keep it from becoming the story of our lifetime but in the next 60 seconds more americans will die of heart disease than from coronavirus why and how can you avoid either let's ask dr shah his multiple b

are in the epicenter right here in westchester county. it is terrible. i have a friend who was very sick for a long time. i have a friend right now who has been on a ventilator for several weeks. it is terribly distressing. the leadership governor cuomo has shown has been amazing. everybody has been pulling together. there has been issues of is someone doing enough. but we are in unprecedented times. with to make sure we don't bicker and point fingers now. we have to get the job done. everyone has to be going the same direction. we used that spirit of wanting to compete. we were all competing against this virus. we have to win and i think we will win. host: he is the founder and ceo generon pharmaceuticals. caller: my question has to do with those who consider this hysteria. it is all about the rate of mortality. out of 1000 people, one would die from the regular flu versus 20 from the coronavirus. or something like that. why do we make the point that so many more people will need extensive care. host: thank you for the call. guest: great question. it is

relatively right behind westchester. they were at like zero when westchester had started. so we can slow it and we have slowed it. >> but while the progress is made on those fronts, problems persist, especially for health care workers with a lack of life-saving equipment and also hospital space. plus, we're now hearing about infection hitting one of the few businesses that's still booming during these dark days. amazon. cnn's nick watt is joining me from los angeles with more on how the country is coping. nick? >> reporter: as you say, brianna, it is a question of capacity and supplies right now. we just heard from michigan that one of the biggest hospital service providers there is nearing capacity. we just heard from six acute care hospitals on long island that say they're now running out of isolation gowns. new york right now is the focus. it will shift, but for now, new york is the frontline. there are field hospitals in manhattan, college dorms being converted, upping capacity and navy hospital ship coming soon, but new york is still 20,000 beds shy of what they say t

los saludo desde westchester en nueva york.n de una zona de contenciÓn. creo que dejan las calles, a esta hora de la tarde vemos personas caminando. muchos estÁn dirigiÉndose a supermercados o centros comunitarios. como Éste.en donde pueden venir a recoger alimentos. en las prÓximas dos semanas las escuelas pÚblicas estarÁn cerradas y muchos estudiantes que reciben almuerzo gratuito, necesitan la comida que se les entregue. y hablaremos con daniel de la organizaciÓn de westchester. cuÉntanos, cÓmo se estÁ preparando? daniel: aquÍ estamos preparando y haciendo bolsas con alimentos para que los estudiantes y familias vengan a nuestro centro, y se lleven comida. fabiola: ¿cÓmo se estÁ viviendo esto en la comunidad? daniel: con nervios altos y le pido a la gente que se calme. y que cogen la informaciÓn apropiada. a veces se exagera la informaciÓn. llamÉ a centros comunitarios para guiar y con recursos pero mÁs importante que la comunidad estÉ junta y que trabajen juntos. fabiola: gracias, daniel. ya saben, la duda es sobre la prese

again, this is a containment zone, the first we've heard of in the country, in this area of westchester county, just north of new york city, because the governor says that the numbers here are continuing to rise. and they have determined where the cause of this has been. at least the proximate cause of it now. it's ill unclear where the initial case, how that happened the attorney and his family, that was a case of community spread. he hadn't traveled outside of the country or to any known area where there was a coronavirus problem. so again, somewhat drastic steps here, but limited in focus as they try to contain the virus here in westchester county, new york. >> and important to reiterate, ron, that initial case of that lawyer, i believe he did have underlying health conditions, hence the reason why it has hit him so drastically, yet his family having minor as a results of this coronavirus. important to note that. also, i believe that that lawyer did travel to miami. that was the only known travel that he was believed to have had before contracting the coronavirus. ron allen, thank yo
