The president of the United States, against governors from both sides of the aisle. The white house claims they have all the testing that they need to reopen their states. But ask these governors and the answer pretty much is, what are you talking about . To try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing and they should just get to work on testing, somehow, we arent doing our job is just absolutely false. Thats just delusional, to be making statements like that. We have been fighting every day for ppe and weve got some splice now coming in. Weve been fighting for testing. It would be nice if we had a National Strategy that was working with the states, so every state knew, precisely what was coming in. In the meantime, frustration with social distancing rules is growing across the country. Protests popping up in places like california, texas, maryland, and wisconsin. Officials warning these demonstrations could lead to a spike in infections. And force social distancing rules to stay in place longer. But, a glimmer of hope in new york. The especially of the crisis. The governor reporting that total hospitalizations are down. Although the battle hasnt been won yet. If the data holds and if this trend holds, we are past the high point and all indications at this point are we that we are on the descent. Whether or not the descent continues depends on what we do. And news for millions of americans out of a job or struggling to keep their business afloat. The treasury secretary says he is hopeful they are close to a second round of Small Business loans. After all the initial relief money in this progra ran out at the worst possible time. The president has been clear about his desire to get the American Economy back on track while experts say any reopening will hinge on the nations testing capability, but as states plea for more federal help to deal with testing shortages, President Trump continues to cast the white house and the federal government in a secondary role, blaming governors for the shortages. Jeremy diamond joins mep from the white house. We are about an hour away from the White House Coronavirus briefing today. Do you expect well see the president on the attack again after facing a fresh round of bipartisan criticism from several governors today . Reporter well, if yesterday is any indication, that is exactly what we will see, because yesterday we saw the president go on the attack against these governors, amed questions about shortages in Testing Capacity, even as the president is pressuring different states to begin to reopen their economies. The president yesterday even suggesting that some governors are simply unwilling to ramp up the Testing Capacity in their states. But what you heard from those governors, democrats and republicans, who were speaking this morning on the sunday shows, they were all speaking one voice, saying that they are missing some of the critical supplies needed in order to get their states reopened, to have the sufficient testing that allows them to do that. Now, there was, in addition to those governors, another governor who spoke with our colleague, jake tapper, on condition of anonymity, and that governor said how frustrating the double speak is from the white house. Saying theres a huge difference between having test capacity and actually running the tests. And that is because we are seeing these governors, theyre facing shortages of some of the testing swabs that they need, of the chemical reagent that they need. Some governors making an appeal directly to the president , saying that the fda could perhaps approve new regulations for the reagents, and allow testing to double or triple overnight in their states. But so far, the president has been unwilling to listen to those voices, it appears. Instead, claiming the credit for past successes on the testing front, but placing blame on now with these shortages. And harvard researchers say they believe there should be three times the amount of testing per day than is currently taking place. Jeremy diamond, thank you. It is a slow and painful waiting game right now for americans all around the country, feeling desperate to get back to work and school, and we are starting to see protests. In many case, protesters have been defying social distancing rules to demand the stayathome restrictions be lifted. Those restrictions have shut down so many nonessential businesses and limited travel, but they are credited with slowing the spread of the virus here in the United States. And cnns natasha chen is in atlanta with more on these protests and who exactly is protest i protesting. Protesters stood shoulder to shoulder in many states over the last several days, to voice frustrations with stayathome orders and to demand an end to the economic shutdown brought on by coronavirus. Freedom and liberty. Were losing it. Reporter ignoring social distancing measures that have been key in slowing the deadly pandemic spread, many gathered at the steps of state capitals, directing anger towards governors who President Trump criticized saturday. Some of the governors have gotten carried away. Reporter but its the Trump Administration who told those very governors to enact statebystate mitigation efforts. When asked about people who choose not to listen to his own administrations guidelines. Urge those protesters to listen to local authorities . I think theyre listening. I think they listen to me. They seem to be protesters that like me and respect this opinion. Reporter and they did. Evidenced by the trump 2020 flags and the actions that seemed to follow what the president called for in his tweets, to, quote, liberate michigan, minnesota, and virginia. This is just grossly irresponsible and it is dangerously bombastic, because it inspires people to do dangerous things. Reporter those who dangerously flouted the rules to protest their Governors Authority said it was out of frustration. Im a Small Business owner and my business was shut down forcefully on the 17th of march and i have yet to see any unemployment, any money come through from the government and im sitting here without a paycheck with no definitive answer on when i will be returning to work, and i dont think thats right. Reporter desperation is high, but so is the risk. With all due respect, i think anybody who thinks were doing this just to take away peoples liberties and rights isnt looking at the data that were looking at. Were doing what were doing to try to save lives. There is a scheduled protest right now in olympia, washington. And that organizer told cnn, hes not funded by any big groups. Hes doing this as a private citizen. He did also say that he opens people follow the cdc guidelines in Wearing Masks and staying apart from each other, but he also told cnn that he wouldnt be policing that strictly, ana. Natasha chen, thank you for your reporting. In new york, the state hardest hit by this pandemic, Governor Cuomo says if the data holds, he believes his state has passed the high point and is on the descent, yet the number of people admitted to hospital and suspected of having covid19 is actually up in new york city. As of today, there is at least 849 patients getting treatment in the citys icus. This as new york states death toll is climbing and its number of cases nears a quarter of a million. Evan mcmoran santoro joins us now. And andrew cuomo was not mincing words for President Trump today. Reporter city officials here in new york have been warning for weeks that budget shortfalls caused by the loss of revenue around this pandemic will be a big obstacle toward reopening. Were talking about huge cuts to city services, huge cuts to state services. The governor mentioned that possibly cuts to hospitals might have to happen. But here in new york city, governor bill de blasio was not happy with news that the next bill from congress will not campaign aid to cities and states. President trump, 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 . Mr. President , are you going to save new york city or are you telling new york city to drop dead . Which one is it . But you have to speak up now. Reporter de blasio and Governor Cuomo are basically setting up a Pretty Simple equation here for officials in washington and the president. They say, if you dont send federal dollars to help new york city and new york state, these places cant reopen with a semblance of the way they were before this all happened. Ana . Evan Mcmorris Santoro in new york city for us. Thanks. Up next, he was a doctor in queens, and then he got the coronavirus. One night after gasping for air, he was admitted to the very icu where he often treated patients. Well bring you his story of survival, next. Heres the thing about managing multiple clouds for your business. When youve got public clouds, and private clouds, and hybrid clouds things can get a bit cloudy for you. But now, theres the Dell Technologies cloud, powered by vmware. A single hub for a consistent operating experience across all your clouds. That should clear things up.

To have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. No way. More exercise. More water. And more fiber is the only way to manage it. Is it . Maybe you think. Its occasional constipation. Maybe its not. It could be a chronic medical condition called ibsc, and time to say yesss to linzess. Linzess works differently than laxatives. It helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If its severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Change your thinking to ibsc. If your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss to linzess. As the number of deaths and coronavirus cases continues to grow, it is easy to feel scared and to wonder how were ever going to come out on the other side of this. But remember, people do. The majority of patients recover. Like dr. Arnold weg. This is him returning to his home in new york after being released from the icu. Something his family says they werent sure they would ever see. And if you watch my show regularly, you might remember dr. Weg. Hes a gas tro ent rolgs in queens. And he contracted covid19 early on, before new yorkers were told to go home, he was seeing patients and one happened to cough during an exam. That patient, dr. Weg later learned, had covid19. At first, dr. Weg was coping with this virus pretty well, but his condition quickly deteriorated, until he was in bed one night, gasping for air and was admitted to the very icu where he often treats patients. While there, he was on the brink of needing to be intubated. And back at home, his family went online and they pleaded for help. They asked for prayers and asked for pharmaceutical companies to make experimental drugs available and for the fda to allow for more trials. His son, russell, came on my show and i stayed in touch with him about his fathers recovery. And today, dr. Weg himself joins us now. Doctor, it is so good to see you and to be able to speak with you. I know your family was so worried. You know, ae wez learned, and as we continue to learn more and more about this virus, i just think its helpful to understand what people like you have experienced. Can you share with us what the coronavirus did to your body . What were your initial symptoms and how did they develop over time . Thank you very much, ana, for having me on your program. This means a lot for me to be able to come full circle with all of this. I want to share my experience, but ill take a second to just gratefully thank my wife, my sons, my physicians and nurses at cornell hospital, especially dr. Robert gelfan who advocated on my behalf. My staff and patients who reached out in a magnificent way, including all the prayer. And im sure that all of that goodwill and all of those tremendous efforts are what brought me here today to be able to speak with you. The experience was something that i must tell you, ive never ever had the experience in my life, nor could i ever have imagined how difficult it was between the fevers and the shortness of breath and the sense that i was drowning, there was this overwhelming sense of doom that ultimately wound up in my transfer to the intensive care unit, where i narrowly avoided intubation. I would like to take a second to share what i think really made the difference, acutely what a medicine called atemra, which is an anticytokline that takes water out of the lungs. I had an instant sense of wellbeing after having had this medication and i think it contributed to my sense of wellbeing to the degree that i was able to avoid intubation. And it was followed by r remdisivir, which is an antiviral, which helped kill the virus. That is fascinating. Were all looking for treatments. Theres no proven treatment that works right now, but your case is promising. Ive heard patients like our own chris cuomo say that nighttime is the hardest, that these symptoms become worse, and i understand that that was the case for you. You had been checking your oxygens regularly, and in the middle of the night one night, you woke up struggling to breathe and noticed your oxygen was just 75 , if im correct, and thats when you went to the er. Why do you think symptoms get worse at night . Im not completely sure what the physiology and what the mechanism for that is, but i think part of the problem is lying down, you tend to accumulate secretion. I can tell you that the nights were terrifying. And to this day, i wake up with nightmares, hoping that i dont wind up with a tube in my throat. This is something which is really true. The nights were very, very, very scary. How quickly did you deteriorate . I had deteriorated, i think, over approximately a tenhour period of time. When things really got bad. I was unable to walk from my bed to the bathroom and i certainly became so short of breath that there was it seemed like there was no other alternative but to go to the hospital. It was over a couple of hours, really. And i have to tell you, your family seems so close and so wonderful. When i spoke with your son, russell, they were just in disbelief that you could end up in such bad shape, given how healthy you are and how energetic and athletic you are. I just want to play this clip with your son, when you were strugglin struggling. I tell him how much i love him and to remain strong and to be emboldened and that he will get through this and that we and the rest of the country are in this together and he has an army behind him. And he will make it through, just like hes done Everything Else in his life. Doctor, hearing that really touched me. Whats your reaction to hearing that . It continues to bring tears to my eyes. I have to say, i was not surprised by anything that my sons and my wife and my family did and my friend. Im not surprised, but this exceeded expectations. I must tell you. And in a practical sense, it really made a difference, because it gave me the courage to know that i had an army behind me and it gave me the courage to know that i could accomplish this against odds as i have done with other things in my life. I know youre a Long Distance runner, i heard you were training for another marathon, in fact. Im a runner too, and so often when ive faced challenges, ive leaned into what ive learned in running about how to work through physical and emotional struggles. I just wonder if that made a difference for you at all in this case . It certainly did. And it wasnt just my impression, but my physicians felt that the level of the stamina that i had and the level of cardiac and pulmonary reserve was largely due to the fact that i was a runner. And ironically, as this virus evolved, we actually had plans for me to run the milan marathon april 5th. And i was training for that race. Now, in the history of what happened with milan is well known, so i guess we really didnt get a chance to do it, but thats the race i was training for. Well, dr. Arnold weg, i have a myriad of other questions for you, but mostly of all, im ju so grateful to see you on your road to recovery. Thank you and im sending you more strength and wishing you good health. Its really great to see you doing well. Thank you for your support, as well. Thanks for reaching out to my family. Well, your family is something. Say hi to me for russell, please.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is no longer fighting for his life in intensive care, but people close to him are coming to his defense today in light of some very strong accusations that he was slow to take the coronavirus outbreak seriously at its onset. Cnns max foster is outside london right now. So, max, who is accusing the Prime Minister of dragging his feet early in this pandemic . The bestselling newspaper on a sunday, the sunday times, making really severe accusations against the government and Boris Johnson, accusing the government of sleepwalking into this disaster and even underplaying the threat of the virus. They say Prime Minister Boris Johnson effectively wasnt leading, particularly well, in the early days. So he didnt attend five no one was hurt toplevel meetings january into february. But the government denies that these are big issues. They say the reporting contains lots of falsehoods, misrepresentations, but it is still making lots of headlines here. Also, michael gove, senior minister coming out, saying its not particularly unusual for a Prime Minister to not attend these very highlevel meetings. It can be heads of department, too. The truth is that there were meetings across government, some which are chaired by the Health Secretary and some chaired by others, but the Prime Minister took all the major decisions. The government is also being accused of failing to build up enough stockpiles of personal protective equipment in recent years, effectively running them down to try to save costs. And thats become a really big problem this weekend. Its the immediate concern of the government, because hospitals are running out of gowns in particular, and new guidance had to be issued to say that these gowns could be reused. Thats how serious its got. 400,000 were meant to be coming in from turkey. Thats being delayed. Its a big problem for the government. But obviously, a much bigger concern for the hospitals and people working within them. All right, max foster reporting for us in the uk. Thank you for that update. Lets head to mexico now, where top officials including the president there are also being accused of not taking the deadly pandemic seriously enough or making the right moves to protect people early enough. Cnns matt rivers is in mexico city right now. Matt, who is taking issue with the governments response . Over the last six week, there are a lot of people that havent been thrilled with president Lopez Obradors response, saying he was slow to implement preventative measures and theres more talk of this today, after an interview given by the deputy Health Secretary here in mexico to the wall street journal, where he basically says, as of now, hes not convinced that this pandemic is anymore lethal than an ordinary influenza outbreak. He said in part, quote, i dont know yet. The w. H. O says it could be ten times that of influenza, but i think we need to see more evidence. Hes talking about the death rate there. And while its true, its way too early to know what the ultimate death rate will be from this pandemic, theres a lot of epidemiologists who would say that the death rate is, in fact, higher than that of an ordinary influenza outbreak. But ana, no matter whos right there, the way Public Officials talk here does have an impact on public opinion. Over the past several weeks, ive spoken to a lot of mexicans, i spoke to a Security Guard on the street yesterday who basically says, look, ive been lpg to tistening to the government, i dont think this is that big of a deal. To be fair, the Deputy Health official has always said, this is a serious thing that needs to be treated with the amount of concern, but when he says, things like this could just be an inflew accident scene outbreak or about the same, it leads some mexicans to think, perhaps they dont have to take this as seriously as they should. And lets be clear, the top experts when it comes to Infectious Diseases says, this is not like any old influenza outbreak. There is no vaccine, its more contagious, and it is turning out, at this point, to be more deadly. Matt rivers, thank you for that reporting. As those on the front lines are doing what they can to help, so are the rich and famous.

Their goal is to raise 100 million to provide food to kids, the elderly, the unemployed and front line workers. And 100 of all proceeds go to groups like no kid hungry. And actor Comedian Kevin Hart is one of many alisters going all in to help feed those in need. I am going to do my part. Heres what im bringing to the table i will provide a movie star experience for said individual. And by movie star experience, i want you to understand what im saying here. Im talking about giving somebody a speaking role in my next movie. You will have a trailer, you will have an assistant, you will have a car service. Im going to get you the full shebang, baby im creating the next big movie star. The full shebang. Joining us now to tell us more is kevinma hart along with michl ruben who came up with the all in challenge. Hes also founder of fanatics and cofounder of the philadelphia 76ers. First of all, kudos to you both. Its got to feel good to help in this way. Absolutely. It does. I dont think i can sit up here and take all the credit. Ive got to bow down to mike. Mike is amazing when it comes to really using his resources and using his powers for good. So this is his idea and when he told me what he wanted to do, i told him i want to do my heart and help as much as i could. So seeing other people step up to the plate and knock that ball out of the park is an amazing thing to see and an amazing feeling to have, after seeing it work. And im going to ask you more about how this originated, michael, in just a moment. But kevin, to your last point there, a number of fellow celebrities have joined on, but inundersta i understand you have a challenge of your own to issue to at least a couple in particular . Oh, yeah, yeah. The callouts have to continue. You know, ive seen so many. So, you know, when im on a platform like this. So definitely duane the rock johnson. I wouldnt be myself if i didnt put him on the line here. And tell him to step up to the plate. Provide an allin challenge fo somebody. Also, somebody else that has an amazing heart that i got to work with and blew me away, Nicole Kidman. I would love to see Nicole Kidman step up and do something, just because shes such a beautiful soul, beautiful spirit. And, you know, look, i can go on and on. These names are endless, that i have here, that can go down. I can say kevin durant. I would love to see you step up to the plate and do something, as well. I called out kyrie irving. Thats just a few. I dont want to take up too much time. Last one, chris rock so, you know, as many as i can right now. Yeah, i say bring it on. The more the merrier, right . Its all for such a good cause and i love the creativity behind it. Michael, in just four and a half days, youve already raised more than 11. 5 million. Thats amazing walk us through your vision and what is your end goal . Yeah, look, first, it starts with why did i raise as much money as possible for people that are hungry. This is one of the biggest issues of people that need food. People need food, whether its one of the tens of millions of people that will be employed and need food and the food banks are the busiest theyve ever been. An elderly people used to have meals delivered, they dont str that. Our goal is to raise a minimum of 100 million and give to four incredible charities that you mentioned earlier in the show. And the way we want to do it is by bringing everyone together to get every athlete, every celebrity, every artist to donate one incredible item or one great experience. And to be honest, kevin was one of the first phone calls i made. I called kevin and said, what do you think about this idea. What do you think about being a trainer for somebody. He said, a trainer, im going to make somebody a movie star. As soon as he told me this, i was like, this is a big idea. If kevin will make someone a movie star, how many other great people will come in. Justin bieber will fly to somebodys house and sing them a song, one on one. You have Peyton Manning who will fly somebody. Tom brady is donating his first jersey and cleats from his first game in tampa bay and going to dinner with them later. Already 150 people have taken the all in challenge. Weve already raised 12 million. Have only been at it for five days. I encourage everyone to go into the allin challenge. Com website. Whether you want to bid on tom bradys jersey or being in leonardo dkicaprios movie. I love this so much. You guys are literally making some peoples dreams come true and helping so many others in the process. I wanted to ask both of you this. Because, michael, youre coowner of the philadelphia 76ers. Kevin is from philly and can often be seen courtside. First to you, michael. On friday, nba commissioner adam silver said hes still not sure when or even if the season will resume. What conditions would you want to see met before continuing the season . Look, its really all about keeping our players and their families safe and about keeping fans safe. I can tell you that theyre all working so hard with their teams to bring sports back as quickly as possible. America and the world needs sports, but we cant do it until we can do it in a way thats safe for fans and players and their families. Its going to do it as soon as we can do it in the right way. Kevin, lebron james says he wants a conclusion to this season. Youre an entertainer that plays to packed crowds. Do you think they should return, even without fans in the building . Look, its a tough question. I think right now, like mike said, the biggest thing is safety. So ultimately, we would love to get back to entertaining, and i know they would love to get back to playing basketball. But nobody wants a problem to rare its head again. So i think being patient, taking our time, and really being diligent about the process is the priority. And as long as we have that in mind, i think well all be okay in the long run. Our priority right now are the people and the people that are actually in need. And thats what i love. I love to see us putting our things on the back burner and dealing with the things that should be dealt with right now. Which are the people that are on the front line. Like you said, the elderly. Other people that are just in need and this hunger stage that were in right now, where people are just really trying to figure out where that next meal can or cant come from. Thats the focus. So when i get to see people actually stepping up and showing that their powers can be used for good and its a chain effect. Other people start to do it. Thats what the world needs to see right now. Im big on that. I always have been. Im positive. I love to love. And i love to spread love. So this is the best way to do it. I think other people are going to follow suit, and i want to say that a friend of mine named john morgan and myself, mike with, i dont know if i told you, but were putting another 1 million into the allin challenge to keep it going and let people know, its not just about the conversation, but about the action as well. So youve got another million coming in. Major thank you to john, as well. Known him for years. So thats another million. So right now, take your total up from 12, bring it to 13, and hopefully the people that i t d tagged, you know, play a significant role and give some other people things to bid on. Wow, that generosity and heart. Kevin, thank you so much. You couldnt give me a better moment to hear you and your friend john donating another 1 million. Thats incredible. I cant thank you enough. Skpf weve got a big, big goal ahead of us to raise 100 million plus and i guess now, i think we can 13 million into it, five days into it, i think were off to a great start. But people like you, kevin, youve made such a difference. And when i had the idea pop into my brain, kevin was one of the first people on the phone calls. And that gave him the focus and determination that worked with everyone to make this happen. Its so exciting to have so many athletes and celebrities and artists working together to make this happen. And we have hundreds of thousands of people that have already donated 10 to 25 to help make a big difference here. Its so beautiful. Guys. I really, really would love to have you back on my Program Next Week so we can check in and see where youre at and see if your callouts, kevin, caused action. Kevin hart, michael ruben, really, really appreciate you joining us and thank you for what youre doing. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me and mike thank you, man you are an amazing guy. Youre doing amazing things. This is just who you are. So its an honor to be your friend and your brother, man. I love you, dude. Feeling the love.

But trying to make sure that there is a lot more resources for Small Businesses and those very Small Businesses that often dont have banking relationships, Like Community Development Finance institutions and others that can really get to those businesses. So in general, we know the urgency. That the Paycheck Protection Program exhausted its resources and there are literally thousands and thousands of american businesses on the brink, threatening to shut down, even, and leave us with hollowed out main streets and boarded up businesses. So, im going to do everything i can to try to get this thing over the line and i will look forward to supporting anything thats right by businesses and some of the other priorities that we have. And speaking of other priorities, as recently as friday i said, and im quoting here, we have to act now to help cities and states, towns that are in financial free fall might have to cut services, firefighters, teachers. You call this money critical. But our understanding is more money for states and localities wont be included in this round of funds. I appreciate you bringing that up, because i dont think people understand the level of crisis that were in. And there are towns and cities in states across this country right now who are rightfully doing everything they can to meet this crisis. Pouring out resources. And are finding themselves in deep, deep holes. And as this thing goes on, if we dont get support to our cities, to our states, even to a lot of small towns, were going to see awful layoffs and crisis, Critical Services being cut for the remainder of the year. So it is one of my top priorities, is to get resources for our state and local governments, if we dont do that, its going to be punishing in our ability to have state and local governments provide Critical Services and keep key personnel employed. But if that money is not in this next package, then what . Well, lets hope theres another package coming. And i want to do everything i can to make sure its in this one. If its not, a lot of folks on both sides of the aisle are talking about the need coming for another big package, as we continue to see this crisis evolve. And that would involve everything from our testing and tracing resources to more. So we have a lot more to go before we get out of this crisis. But, god, we have got to prioritize those governments right now. Like, i saw in new jersey during 9 11, i saw in states that were hit by hurricanes, like texas and louisiana, when you go through a crisis like this, your states and your local governments severely need help, because theyre making major outlies, overtime for police and fire and more and theyre going to need the help or else theyre going to be crippled for the rest of the year. Your state, new jersey, is the hardest hit of any state outside of neighboring new york. More than 4,000 residents now dead. Just a staggering number. As an elected leader, what do you see as the biggest challenge in getting your state back up and running, following a loss of this magnitude . Well, first of all, my heart goes out to all of those people who are grieving right now. And in many ways, grieving without funerals, and without being able to gather together with families and more. The stories coming out of new jersey, heartbreaking ones of medical professionals dying, firefighter, police. It is a very painful time for our state, but weve got to keep fighting through this thing. And the only way we get out of this, again, this is not a political decision. This is a decision that must be made on the facts, on the science, and with Health Professionals guiding us along the way. Every one of us want to open up businesses, open up our communities, but we have got to do it in a way thats not going to put our health even more at risk, so there will be more deaths. So my governor, phil murphy, working with other regional governors, because were all these invisible lines we call borders, but the new york metropolitan area includes a lot of new york, a lot of new jersey. Weve got to make sure we are phasing this in the right way in keeping the health and wellbeing really at the center of our concern and our compassion. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said this weekend that cases and deaths from coronavirus are running about 50 higher for africanamericans versus the overall population in your state. What is being done specifically for new jerseys africanamerican residents to help stop the disproportionate impact on that community . Well, you know, look, we cannot leave anybody behind. And when you have fires in buildings, for example, you bring your resources right with the urgency to put out those fires. What were seeing in new jersey, like across the nation, certain communities are getting devastatingly hit from Nursing Homes to, in this region, africanamericans and latinos. In other regions, native american populations. So we, as a nation, with our compassion and sense of urgency, to leave no one behind, we need to be putting more resources in those communities to make sure that we can stem the tide of the death thats coming from these from the coronavirus to these communities. So again, ive been advocating very strongly on a federal level to get more resources targeted towards those communities that are being hardest impacted. And that means for testing, that means for local communitybased health centers, and more, because its not enough to decry the circumstances. This is calling for the urgency for action and for us to be doing more, so we cannot have these terrible disparities and outcome with this disease. Senator cory booker, thank you. Wishing you health and safety as well as to all the residents of the state of new jersey. Good luck. Thank you. We all want to help, of course, but sometimes that means putting yourself at risk. Thats par for the course for volunteers with team rubicon, a nonprofit that helps veterans give back during times of crisi crisis. Team rubicon has launched a nationwide neighbors helping neighbors campaign. Our volunteers are engaged in hundreds of communities all across the United States, ranging from helping to establish testing and screening sites in collaboration with Major Health Care systems to assisting organizations like feeding america and meals on wheels. Veterans may have taken the uniform off, but they still have service in their hearts and those incredible skills. And in times like this, we should be turning to the veterans in our communities.

Delusional, absolutely false, irresponsible. Those are the words coming from governors, both democratic and republican, when asked about the president s claims that these governors already have the coronavirus testing they need to reopen their states. The big message the governors are sending to the white house, if you want to go back to business as usual, we need more money. And we need more help from the federal government. Cases in the United States have now topped 742,000, and the death toll is staggering. More than 41,000 people gone. The desperation to get more federal help on test kits and the economy heard in the voice of the mayor of new york city today. President trump, whats going on . Cat got your tongue .
