But while the spread of the virus appears to be slowing down the daily death toll still horrifically high 478 deaths reported just yesterday the lowest number of deaths so far many hospital still full with kovan 1000 patients. Everybody. Oxygen hundreds of doctors and nurses now transferred into City Hospitals to help because of the lack of demand at the temporary hospital at the Javits Center then a wall fishel say the york is beyond its peak there is growing pressure to reopen the state we need to. Be going to keep my family eating. So we have to take a rest Governor Cuomo saying before the state can ease restrictions testing of the coronavirus has to drastically increase but he needs the help of the federal government the National Manufacturers will say well its not that easy i cant get the chemicals the chemicals from to come from china i cant make the vials fast enough i cant make the swabs fast enough so i dont know whats right or whats wrong with that National Supply chain question but thats where the federal government could help intense conflict between new york officials and President Trump growing new york city mayor bill de blasio blasting the president over the weekend the president s been silent to present whats going on cat got your tongue youre usually really talkative. You usually have an opinion on everything how on earth do you not have an opinion on aid to americas cities and states how on earth do you think that new york city which has been the epicenter of this crisis can get back on our feet without federal support this says a state rules out Antibody Testing to help determine how many new yorkers were infected with the disease starting today a sample of 3000 state residents will start receiving tests from the state department of health to detect the presence of antibodies produced by people infected with coded 19 but the u. S. Governments top Infectious Disease expert dr anthony found she is urging caution a few countries have taken anybody tests and found out after buying millions of them that they actually dont work so i give it as a cabbie up because. We need to get a test that works and thats thats reproducible dr that even if there was a test that works there are still so many d questions that need to be answered including whether having an entire body means that the person who was infected with coded 19 is immune to the virus reporting in new york city each of us are 2. U. S. Navy sailor is in trouble with authorities now after he was caught on security cams leaving his room at a hotel in where he along with other sailors were on a precautionary 2 we quarantine after having potentially been exposed to cope at 19 aboard the u. S. S. Theodore roosevelt and that sailor was returned to naval base qualms where he is now subject to disciplinary action by the military sailors and guam are currently required to stay in their rooms for 14 days as part of their orders by rear admiral stuart baker so for more on this growing threat on this tiny island i spoke earlier with dr thomas shea he is the president of the Guam Medical Association and dr she is also an o. B. G. Y. N. And retired Navy Lieutenant commander heres some of what he had to say. I can tell you that the sailor will be disciplined this is not something i was taken seriously not seriously but i think i once took up and given the order to use fame place you violated order my bit youll be undergoing chapmans mass or maybe even more as a Court Martial so hopefully that no more still itll be trying to escape from the rooms but i think what well see what happens yeah i imagine they want to make an example of him so that way other sailors arent going to try to do the same thing after getting bored being stuck in their rooms and dr b. You were the 1st andy on the island to reach out to the governor of guam to call for an immediate lockdown given that guam has such a tiny population of under 200000 around 12000 of those are u. S. Military members how critical are no measure is there now to flatten the curve. Oh its very critical i think across the country. But a Fragile Health Care System here we have what we have what we luckily what we have here is a flat and i love our island pretty flat compared to new york city singapore which is charming with 3000 residents in 14 i think its important to note that kwame just really quickly flat so i think over. That situation but i swore i asked the staff in the curve who have to think over the last few days we had 0 positives so thats a good sign but were not going to get enough but again across the country were not just big enough but right now i think we have about 136 positives who tested nearly. Ok now as for the navy goes i think that just about 63000 nearly 4300 right now its going up to 672 just positive so were testing and i think the key is to isolate going to nicely and the lockdown is happening but i think there are some. People bit in across the country as well. And given your experience and expertise and up to tricks how concerned are you about the spread of the virus among the pregnant women on the island and the risk that this virus can pose to the fetus or babies. I know that the china will haunt the school ameri but i think theres a few cases that they say that there is sort of a transmission transmission from the mother to the baby so i think time will tell time will tell d whats going to happen here certainly theres no universal testing that we have doing for the mother so i think right now what we still trying to do is trying to some way to cope in 1000. In the emergency room d and i. C. U. And also d in the urgent care yes i think were doing a pretty good job as far as isolating its just and goes and screening i mean right now we dont really have any moms per se that we have tested positive but again 1st of the transmission the deadest preliminary and were going to see months down the role as what he forms and how do you predict the virus shaking out among the military population as a whole will the numbers match up to the civilian population or will they be higher will they be lower. Or i expect. The number to be much 572 if you think about it a ship its a tight quarters and a u. S. Naval ship with 4005000 sailors on board they have about 2. 22. 5 percent positive thats 672. 00 so far and nearly 4000. 00 tested negative know what your view of them were asymptomatic that these are healthy sailors so uncertain is that if youre asymptomatic theres a positive that has a concern and thats the date of this coming out of elsewhere in the state as well but the concern is far as the military in a community i dont think were dead concerned because the military is doing a very good job isolating it pointing them in hotels so well see what happens the next week or so because i think its up to weeks now that the steelers have been pointing yeah absolutely the military can punish everybody for not following the rules unlike the civilians out here we will leave it right there thank you thank you so much for sharing your insight and expertise with beth dr thomas shea from guam thank you. While many around the country are protesting to get back to business as usual today one business actually is are to his fair project is joining us now with more on boeing employees heading back to work area i mean how is this even possible well middle were actually talking 27000 employees going back to work in Washington State which is actually the very 1st state to see the outbreak of covert 19 now this is the very 1st business on a large scale to get back to work but its not going to be business as usual now during the weeks long shutdown boeing did go through and did a deep cleaning at their facility near seattle but in light of the outbreak things arent going to be as usual now boy will have employees come in and a staggered shift times theres going to be marks on the floor for that 6 foot social distancing workers are going to have to wear face masks and there will also be wellness checks every shift where youll see voluntary temperature screenings now Washington State is still under a stay at home order but boeings Assembly Operations are considered essential business making them exempt now monday workers for the 7377477677 extension 77 planes theyre going to be back at work with most of all of those 27000 employees returning to work on wednesday wow.

In particular with those max jets and those 2 fatal crashes but everybody still remembers fresh in our minds and the planes are still grounded its been over a year how could boeing bring back these employees when all these planes are grounded and no one is traveling so how does that make any sense adding that to that.
