More hospitals are overrun with new patients. Doctors and nurses are intensifying their calls for help. Scared. My coworkers are scared. Seattle icu nurse and her colleagues are now using just one mask all day. Were running around like crazy. Were outraged. Reporter state officials in massachusetts and Washington State say theyve gotten only a fraction of the supplies theyve asked for from the National Stock pile new york city, now the u. S. Epicenter of the crisis is putting 1,000 hospital beds in its Massive Convention hall, the javits center. Governor andrew cuomo is urgently asking the Trump Administration to Order Companies to make critical equipment like ventilators. They legally have a tool called the federal defense e reporter on monday, President Trump signed an executive order making it a crime to stockpile supplies needed by medical workers. The attorney general said investigators will go after hoarders, too. If you are sitting on a warehouse with masks, surgical masks, you will be hearing a knock on your door. Reporter touring fema headquarters, Vice President mike pence praised private companies, like ford, gm, and tesla for already offering to make ventilators other companies such as apple and hanes plan to make extra masks. Its important to take action as tens of millions are to help us slow the spread. Reporter with a critical shortage looming, other companies are trying to step up, sewing makeshift masks it was sit at home stressing and crying or do something im a do something person. We see the need.

All right, gabe, thank you so much as mentioned, Ford Motor Company is stepping in to help fill this urgent need for medical supplies were joined now by its executive chairman, bill ford. Mr. Ford, good morning to you. Good morning, savannah. We can get into the details in a moment, but youve heard the cries of Health Care Workers, people on the front lines. I know ford is going to start manufacturing some of these items. What are you going to do actually, we have four big efforts going. One is, were working with ge on ventilators to dramatically increase the capability they have to deliver these in numbers. Were also working with 3m for air purifying respirators. Were going to help them dramatically increase the production of those. And then in house, were also doing face shields, trying to produce hundreds of thousands of those a week and n95 masks, were 3d printing them so we have a lot going this is very much kind of what our company does when were needed and our employees are amazing. I also heard that you had toow kind of get some stuff off the shelf to work out, for example, the masks i think youre using some items you had in stock . Yeah, i mean, look, when youre in a situation like this, you do anything you can. And so that weve were using fans from our electric our seats that are air cooled and heated were actually finding those fans are useful in production of some of these other items. So were going into our parts bin to see what can be done. Were a very opportunistic company. We have great engineers and great manufacturing people and were putting them to work. How soon and how many when it comes to some of thi ventilators you talked about, respirators you talked about, masks and so forth i mean, as soon as we can get them we think we can like on the masks, were doing those, and were trying to gear up to 100,000 a week of those. With 3m on the air purifying respirators, were trying to increase the capability there from six to ten times what they can currently make maybe well do that in our facilities as well same thing with the ventilators. Ge increase their production but we can do it in our facilities, too. Obviously when we do it, we have to make sure our employees are safe and were working with oaw on that as well. Just to understand where youre coming from here, you mentioned that ford has a long history of helping out its a company thats been around for many, many years. Is there any profit associated with this . Are you donating these materials . How is that going to work out . Honestly, savannah, we have no idea. Were just going as fast as we can. Nobody has talked about the financial implications of this, because this is a national emergency. Well sort all that out later. But, you know, we need to get going. We are getting going we havent talked to anybody about any kind of reimbursement or anything like that. You know, i suppose we can sort all that out later this is a company, as you point out, weve been around 117 years. We were the arsenal democracy during two world wars. We built iron lungs for polio victims. Whenever were called on, were there. And finally, before i let you go, is this something that you coordinated with the white house . Did you talk to the president . Did they ask you to do this or is this something ford did on its own . Were doing it on our own obviously the white house has put a call out for companies to help but frankly we were getting all this in motion before that were so happy to help, an were going to do absolutely everything we can. All right bill ford, thank you for being here this morning. Thank you. I think a lot of people will be heartened by that news. Thank you. Hoda, over to you.
