Been tested. Over 32,000 lives have been lost. President Trump Holding a series of meetings today on reopening the country. Much hes expressed his wishes to get americans back to work as quickly as possible. As continued unemployment ree. Andrew cuomo is continuing the new york pause plan for another month. The new york pause policies, the closed down policies will be extended in coordination with other states to may 15th. I dont want to project beyond that period. Thats about one month. One month is a long time. People need certainty and clarity so they can plan. I need a coordinated action plan with the other states. So one month will continue to close down policies. What happens after then, i dont know. We will see depending on what the data shows. And good day once again to you. Brian williams alongside electronically at least katy tur once again. Katy . And brian, the stock market dipped this morning following another day of devastating unemployment numbers. More than five million americans filed jobless claims last week. Bringing the four week total to roughly 22 million. That wipes out nearly all of the jobs created from february 2010 to february 2020. Virtually all the gains since the Great Recession now gone. Today the Small Business administration announced the pay tecti Check Protection Program ran out of money. They approved 349 billion, over 1. 6 million loans. The equivalent of what would normally be 14 years worth of cash lent in just 14 days. But with more than 30 million Small Businesses across the country untold numbers are now left in the dark. Lets get right to our reporters covering the health of the economy and what in the world comes next, lets begin in california with nbc news correspondent joe kent. Shes outside an Unemployment Office near los angeles. So, jo, the numbers are giant. But then again, there are so many people who have not been able to file because the systems keep on breaking down. What are you hearing out there . Well, if you are able to make that application, even if you dont get your unemployment money, what we do know is that those numbers are counted within the 22 million over the past four weeks. Just to give you some perspective on that number, that is far more than the previous record over the past four week period. 2. 7 million back in 1982. So the drama and the severity of this number is very real. I so we want to know how state Unemployment Offices are handling the backlog, bottle necks, challenges of processing such high volume. We talked to the director of labor in michigan which has the highest percentage of unemployed people, a quarter of the workforce is out of work. This is what he says theyre doing to improve things. We shifted staff, we hired new staff ourselves, so were throwing everything we can at processing the claims. The director of the department of labor there in michigan telling me he is working with big Tech Companies, quicken loans, ibm among the vendors. Theyre trying to bring them in to modernize their systems. But, brian and katy this is a very big problem across the country as unemployment state directors are telling me they are building this plane as they are flying it. We want to turn to texas. Hes at a mobile food bank in dallas where they get 300 cars on a normal day. Today, upwards of 2,000. Garret, all we can anticipate about the stories in that line is that these are people who never visited a food bank so many of them and never dreamed that they would rely on a food bank for food. Yeah, brian, thats right. The last time they ran this food bank, the home of the cotton bowl, the state fair of texas, 70 periods of the people coming to pick up food had never had to rely on a food bank before. I suspect that number will be even higher today as texas continues to be a state. Youre likely to know somebody or be yourself laid off or put out of a job and know somebody thats become very sick. As i talked to people who have been coming through this line today, the need is really acute. People doing whatever they can to feed their families. And trying to make ends meet for a little longer. Let me talk to a woman that is picking up food for her sons and grandchildren. Its very hard. Its very hard. Because hes behind on his car payment. Hes behind on insurance. No Health Insurance anymore. And so, you know, so with one son working, you know, its kind of its difficult. But were managing. I mean, you know, its difficult. Its a worry. Its a worry for sure. You dont know when its going to get back to what it used to be. You heard it a little bit there just like you heard from governor cuomo. Part of the problem is uncertainty. I talked to people who said i may have some savings left. I may have a few other things i can cut back on. I dont know how long im budgeting for. I dont know how far out i have to go to make things work. That is true even of the food banks trying to feed their neighbors. Theyre trying to figure out their budgets. Theyre trying to make sure that theyre still able to do this and they urged me and ill urge you if can you donate, please do. Donate your money. Its even more important than your time or your own goods. They can buy in bulk. They can use that to turn around and feed neighbors, neighbors that may be suffering brian and katy far worse than most people realize. Garret, thank you for bringing that to our attention. Lets bring in msnbc Business Correspondent and host. Coming off that, those bread lines, unemployment numbers we keep getting on thursday. Its been over a month since the president declared a national disaster. And the news keeps getting worse and worse. What are economists predicting . What are they expecting . Yeah. I spoke with one economist who said she had a visceral, emotional reaction to seeing that first number from four weeks ago. I think its important as we talk about this an aggregate the last four weeks just to look at each one of these weeks and specific to see the kind of read that we saw today alone would be astonishing, to see how it compounded over the last month is really incredible. Jo just a moment ago talking about the severity of this, the drama of the numbers. It really is something that economists have not had to wrestle will with or reckon with before. Theyre fumbling here, looking for historic land logs, looking for any examples from the past they can forecast what can happen here in these coming weeks and months. And there really is no suitable an log. Now you look at the policy side and there is some indications that that has been executed well and thoughtfully. A big goal of fiscal policy during this crisis has been to keep the connective tissue alive as tenuous as it is between employers and employees who have been let go. There is this hope among policymakers that when things start to turn, those employers will rehire those who they had to let go. Now what makes this so tricky, katy and brian is the fact that hiring takes time. Folks are applying for the benefits and dealing with the bottle necks weve seen in california and states across the country as well. Now the number that were looking at today is an initial jobless claim. That is somebody who goes and applies for ben for the first time. What economists are going to look at as this crisis wears on are continued jobless claims. That is those who applied for jobless benefits and are in the pipeline and remain in the pipeline. The hope is as this wears on that well see that number begin to drop. Were far from that happening. The perspective is that they expect a surge at the beginning. That surge of claims is larger and lasting longer than most of them expected. Well, im curious about potentially that flattening off or dropping out. We saw what the sba today is that payment Protection Program has now run out of money. Part of the goal with that was to get people back on payroll. They handed out i believe 1. 7 million loans. There are 30 million Small Businesses across the country. What is the expectation for how much of a dent thats going to put into the unemployment numbers . Yeah. The hope with that plan was that you would have businesses, again, eager to hire back whom those they let go because they have to keep the head count to get it was to get that loan forgiven. I imagine a lot of the business owners, the laid off employees are perplexed by what happened here and the politics in washington as well. They would like more than anything else to be employed, to have businesses up and running again. Its clear there was demand for that program. For that paycheck program. And that demand still exists. Those with whom i spoke have said that they are frustrated by the fact that mechanisms are not as good as they could be. We saw the fits and starts at the beginning of the program. They persisted throughout. Yes, there are accommodations. Yes as joe mentioned, Tech Companies are stepping in to correct the systems that are in place. But to make this work, again, to revive or restore that connective tissue, this has to work more efficiently and has to be bigger than it s its interesting. Ive been talking about fiscal policy on the Monetary Policy side. When you listen to jay powell, the chair of the federal reserve, hes not advising the congress on what to do. He is indicating that there is a need for fiscal policy. That were still in the early days of this crisis. Hes not making a policy prescription. But he is indicating that as this plays out, katy and brian, there is a need for more fiscal policy that law makers in washington have to do a whole lot more. David, thank you. And joining us now is m. I. T. Economics professor. Also happened to be one of the architects of obamacare back in the day. Professor, i have way more questions than question answer, im sure in, one segment. Ill throw a bunch of them at you for starters. What is the definition of a depression versus the recession. Do you have any measurement of how far along in this thing we are economically and where the floor is . The main thing is whether Economic Growth slows or reverses and over how long a period it lasts. We dont note floor. We have to remember, the numbers are scary. Theyre at one level bigger than were used to because we expanded the Unemployment Insurance system to be available to whole range of workers who cant access it before. On the other hand, there is still workers out of the labor force that havent applied. I think the important thing to recognize, brian, is that we are stuck between two different approaches in helping our economy. One approach, well call it the european approach, is bail out the firms approach. What European Countries are doing is say, look, well pay your bills. Well pay for your workers. Keep them own the payroll. The other approach we can call the u. S. Approach, is bail out the workers. Saying to firms, look, lay off workers, well send them Unemployment Insurance, well send them a ubi check. Were trying a mix of the two. Its yet to see how well it will work. What would your suggestion be if you were talking to members of congress about how next thou go forward and what next to try to tackle . First of all, we need to address the Health Care Sectors problems here. The Health Care Sector is getting hammered, Long Term Care facilities are getting hammered. There is 100 billion in the original cares act to help those facilities. We need much, much more. It needs to be given out in a way that reflects the needs of the Health Care Sector. Second, with very to recognize the fact the job losses are coming with massive increases in uninsurance at exactly the worst possible time. Fortunate lishgs at fordable care act was set up for exactly the situation to help provide options for people who lost their insurance. But the options need to be made available, the government needs to open up the exchanges and they need to be affordable. We need more subsidies to make them more affordable. We have to recognize this is going to take enormous redistribution to our state and local governments. The organizations are really holding comet together right now down to people trying to administer the ui programs in the face of 22 million new claims. We need to get federal distribution to the programs so they can continue to run. Professor, i know this question kind of informs everything were hearing and seeing out of the white house every day. But from a lay person perspective, can we afford this . Can we afford the cost of the save . We absolutely can. And we have to. Heres the point. Its not really a question of, gee, weve done a bunch. Lets shut it off f we shut it off now, we dont flatten the curve. We just delay the curve. Well be back at this at the worst peak in i afew months. Its going to limit our functioning for at least another year. I think well have to recognize that. I think you have a phone call there, jonathan. If i may ask one more quick question, hopefully that phone will stop ringing. Dont worry. Our National Debt is very, very high as it is. And these numbers that are being thrown out there, almost have no meaning there so large. Trillions of dollars in stimulus or life line. How much further in debt can this country go safely . Is there a limit . You know, were at an era of low Interest Rates. Economists thought for 20 years, been waiting for Interest Rates to go up as the deficits go up. And then come down as the deficits come back down. We have seen a new era and sort of weakening the relationship between the size of the deficit and Interest Rates. As a result, the economic profession really shifted the view on this which is that we can have a much larger debt level that we thought we could previously. Were not near dmind of limit. We have room to do more. That said, eventually, well have to pay this back. I think well have to recognize that now is the time for action. But we should also move on a bipartisan basis forward on both plans to save the economy but also in the long run try to set up in a bipartisan basis plans to pay this back. We cant afford it. But only if we can do this in a way where politics doesnt get in the way of actually paying it back. That seems like a big ask these days. You can call that person back.

As the coronavirus continues to take a devastating toll on nursing homes, House Democrats are urging the trump ago administration to start tracking deaths at those facilities. And nbc news investigation and there is more than 600 coronavirus deaths linked to nursing homes. And there are 400 facilities across the country. The numbers are likely higher because the federal government is not tracking those cases. And today there is a heartbreaking and there is a test in new jersey, a lip led them to find 17 bodies crowded in a morgue meant to fit only four bodies at a nursing home in andover. R ron allen, how did this happen and what is the nursing home saying about it . Will with, its just an incredibly tragic situation, katy. The alarm bell started going off over the weekend when a local congressman says he got a call from an administrator there saying they were desperately in need of body bags. There was an anonymous call that said a body was discovered in and out a shed. That turned out not to be true. When local authorities did get there, they found a dozen bodies, the numbers are elusive, in a morgue that was supposed to handle fewer bodies. Now the owner of the nursing home is saying there was a backlog created by the Holiday Weekend and by the above average number of people who were losing their lives there because of covid19. Bottom line is there is a lot of death at this facility. There are a lot of people sick at this point the numbers are, like as many as 35 deaths since march and as many as 130 residents who are still infected with the virus. A little while ago, governor murphy of new jersey spoke out about this and said this is not something that is acceptable. Heres the comments. I am am also outraged that bodies of the dead were allowed to pile up in a make shift morgue at the facility. New jersey living in a Long Term Care facilities deserve tore cared for with respect and compassion and dignity. We can and must do better. Ive asked them to look no a review for the disproportionate number of deaths during the covid19 outbreak. The state has sent monitors to the facility to keep an eye on things. Theyre also trying to get them more personal protective equipment. Local congressmen here wants fema to get involved. The National Guard to come in and help out. Brian . Katy . Ron allen, andover township, new jersey. Ron, thanks. With us by telephone is michael lensac. These are folks moms and dads and im wondering if can you tell our audience any early answers you have to your questions along the lines of how on earth was this allowed to happen . Yeah, id like to say that our hearts go out to everybody. Of its a very, you know, bad situation. Unfortunate lish unf unf unfortunately, its a lack of reporting. The numbers coming out there, we were called to assist them with moving the bodies. 13 were moved over to our local medical center. They have a, you know, a cold storage morgue set up and four bodies still in the location. That is the last notification i got. Mr. Mayor, this virus is relentless. It is cruel. It is hard to contain even in the best of circumstances. And its been particular leviticus at nursing homes. Do you need the help of fema . Do you need the help of the National Guard to help make sure that this spread doesnt rip through these facilities . Absolutely. You know, were a small town. We dont have the staffing and medical training to handle a large this is the largest nursing home in new jersey with 700 capability of 700 beds. So, yeah, any help we can get from the state would be greatly appreciated because once again, at our level, you know, people are contacting us saying what can we do . It has overtaken the, you know, the pandemic. Its overtaken the country. Totally understandable. I applaud everybody that is still working there giving their very best of the people. But we definitely need assistance. Were a small town. We dont have the capabilities to handle this kind of overflow. Mayor, talk about contact tracing. Youre now a hot spot. Weve seen them happen in washington state. We saw funeral in the state of georgia early on that gave us a localized hot spot. Hopefully with federal help. And who they were in contact with. All the visitors who were there during the time when this virus was multiplying. Youre correct. And that is a concern i had. Theyre in place. But the good news is as a town, our numbers as a town are low. And were in fairly good shape that way. What is scaling everything is the numbers coming out of the nursing home. So our town is doing well for our residence. So it is going to concern the workers there. And theyre taken care of. And the conference that governor murphy had. And supposedly the team is and they not been notified. And hopefully well get that call soon. We can expect them. Keep us updated. Mr. Mayor, good luck to you. Thank you for so much for joining us. God bless. Next up. Protests in michigan and kentucky and ohio. People defying the state and demonstrating in the streets pressed up against each other.

As governors consider to whether to keep stay at home orders in place, were seeing pockets of resistance in states across the country. Michigan, kentucky, and north carolina, people protested this week in the state capitals demanding the orders be lifted n ohio, a photographer captured about 100 demonstrators standing outside the state house calling on the governor to reopen business. Not social distancing, not wearing masks. Joining us now from illinois is nbc news correspondent kevin tibls. The governor there is coordinating stay at home orders with fellow regional governors. Kevin, always good to see you. Even under these circumstances. Tell me what sort of pressure are the governors facing from these pockets of resistance . Well, for a time the governor of michigan was one of the rising stars in all of. This but as weve seen for the last couple of days, people have been taking to the streets. The there is even a lawsuit involved in which the governor is being accused of tampering with the freedoms of the good people of michigan. This is also going on in ohio. As you mentioned in kentucky. There was a scene made at the legislature there of people saying that they dont want to have to put up with this anymore. Its very obvious that right across this land and here in the midwest as well, nerves are being frayed. Obviously people are taking a financial hit. Companies are taking a financial hit. And a lot of people are starting to sort of chomp at the bit. When can we get back to work . A contrast of this, of course, is there are a lot of people in the city of detroit which was considered one of the hot spots in this virus that are still being forceded to ride the bus, still being crammed into buss to go to make minimum wage every day. This quarantine, this stay at home order is still going on. Now were starting to see politically. And the place youre not seeing and because the mayor and they have put out a series. And there is a lighthearted approach to get everyone in the tent in terms of it staying at home. She remains here and she is sort of like batman where people are putting up the bat signal and she is sort of staring down on everyone warning everyone that they have to stay home. And the people of chicago have bought into this and staying home. We have not heard the same sort of anxiety about having to stay home here as were starting to hear in other places, katy and brian. Kevin tibbles at home in illinois. Thank you, friend g. Good to see you. With us now, the director of the cloema University National center for disaster preparedness. I urge everybody watching that is not in the habit to try to watch some fox news programming in prime time because the talking points were hearing emerge which often twin up with the talking points in the rose garden these days are interesting and significant. Its not at all uncommon to hear hosts or guests say ill take the risk. Weve got to get back out there. Weve got to get back to business. And certainly you know this core belief is bubbling up out there. You dont see and hear it in the urban areas, in the new york area as much. But its out there and growing. Yes, brian, it certainly is growing. It is sort of like the antivaccine or steroids. People willing to ignore the Public Health recommendations and get back to work. By the way, everybody should be able to understand what the motivation is. People are need the income. People are really suffering from the economic point of view. But the problem is theyre going to put their health and health of others at very serious risk if they prevail here. So we have to find ways of making sure that everybody is compliant with the basic Public Health rules that really must still be in place. Otherwise, were going to face a major resurgence of this pandemic all across america, brian. And, doctor, i dont think anyone would disagree that the uk among civilized nations moved late on this. They agreed with the need stay indoors. Putin put off the anniversary, 75th and versery military parade scheduled for early may. Of course, we dont know the extent of how bad it is there. As russia deals with this. We arent. Some countries like germany are going to announce a reopening of workplace and schools perhaps sometime in may. Germany is doing four times the testing. We can gradually open. We cannot open unless the three conditions are in place. One is that we have to have new rules at the workplace or at least a good long while which include continue social distancing, wearing masks, having people not go to work or stay at work if they have any symptoms whatsoever. First thing. The second thing is we need a tremendous increase in the amount of testing. And, of course, the third thing is we need to do contact tracing. In other words, if somebody is identified as a positive, we have to be able to trace the contract contacts. Were not ready really for any of the things to be in place yet unfortunately, brian. Indeed. We would have to repeat this every day for people to get it. We would have to do a million tests a day for a year to get closer to knowing a snapshot in time who had this virus when tested. Katy . It will be nice to get a confirmation on how long this virus lives on surfaces and which surfaces and whether its trans mitted through the air at what distance. There are still so many questions that a lot of us have about how exactly to clean our homes, how exactly to handle our packaging, what groceries do we wash . Because there is still so Little Information about what is going on with this virus. We would like to hear some more guidance from the federal government or the cdc on those things. Brian, thank you.

She was close to meeting her baby girl when her daughter was taken to the hospital. The grandmother knew it was bad. She survived colon cancer and a double Lung Transplant. She told her daughter she was determined to hold on. She wanted to welcome the baby girl to her gaggle of girls. There were already five others. But covid19 was too tough, to relentless, to cruel, even for susan harley sue was born easter weekend and into a World Without her grandmother. Cassie joins me now. Cassie, first off, congratulations on your baby girl. Shes beautiful and perfect. Thank you. I cant imagine and we were talking about this a moment ago, being a new mom and all of that postpartum emotion and stress, crying at an insurance commercial let alone what has gone on with you right now. How are you . Its a loaded question. You know, were doing really well as a family of five. We have a 5yearold girl and 3yearold girl and my husband and i, obviously and now we welcome our third. And shes perfect. And the girls, the older girls love her. Were doing really well in that respect. But then at the same time its really, really hard because i can feel 100 joy and happiness in one woman and then to lose my mom, its hard. She was a survivor, surviving cancer, double Lung Transplant to fight through that is incredible. I guess this just shows you how awful this disease can be and how completely retched it can be to even the toughest of people. Right. She made it through so much. She kept saying, i want to be with my family as long as i can. She kept going. We thought she was at the brink of death many times over the past 16 months since the Lung Transplant and even before that to be honest. And she just kept fighting. And she come home and it wasnt easy. It certainly wasnt easy. That wasnt always pretty. But she kept going because she just wanted as much time as she possibly could with her girls. Were a big family of girls. She was willing to fight. Im sorry, what you are going to tell harley sue about her. Well tell her she came at a really, really hard time in our lives. She had grained ma that was willing to fight. And her family to that area and her grandma loved her so much. I just wanted to be with her. And hold her. And well tell her that her grandma made us promise her and all of her sisters and cousins that we could get through this together if we can just love each other and stay together. We cant protect ourselves from this grief. We cant change it. We cant stand through it as much as i want to. As much as i want to take the pain away from my family, but my mom made sure that we were Strong Enough to just stick together and get through it. So well make sure that harley knows that, her sisters know that, her cousins know that. We all know that. We have no regrets. We had a really good conversations prior to my moms death about that, about resilience and love and just enduring love. Cassie, i know there is going to be people, there will be people asking why you want to do this interview and why we put it on television. But when you look at people across the country that are protesting right now and asking to get back there back out on the streets, they dont want to be told to stay home or wear masks or whatever, what is your message to people who want to leave their house in the middle of this . I want to leave my house too. I want to be with my friends, especially now. I want to be with my family. I want to hug my family. I want to introduce my baby girl to her big extended family. But its not worth the cost, the price you pay, this pain isnt worth it. If i have to stay home with my family, i mean, thats ultimately a gift in itself to be home and safe and healthy with your family. Its not easy. Im not trying to minimize how difficult this time is for everybody. Im having a hard time with it too. But its a small price to pay if if you dont have to go through this, this pain, this grief these last, you know, moments of my moms life, we were not with her. If you can avoid that, its worth wearing a mask. I mean its a small price to pay. Cassie, your daughters are beautiful. Your mother was beautiful as well. Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this incredibly painful story. To get the message out, we appreciate it. Of course. Well be right back. Iate it. Of course.

Brian, we are at such an extraordinary sort of turnaround point when it comes to the Public Attitudes and really the public need for good thinking on the part of big Tech Companies. Weve been covering here at this network as have so many Media Outlets the incredibly fraught topic of how much of our data, how much of our privacy is given away in what is almost an entirely unregulated environment in the United States and now suddenly desperate for a pathway oug out of this crisis, were suddenly realizing that unless were willing to sit inside and wait until a vaccine is created which can take such an incredibly long time as you know, we may, in fact, need big tech to help us understand, are there safe ways to get out into the world, is there some sort of modified public life monitored by technology that would allow us to get out. The first stage of this of course, brian, is this question of just understanding where we are moving, where we are going. Recent data from google which has been giving this data over to public researchers and Public Officials has shown us a few dramatic changes in how americans are moving. Let me show you, when it comes to the movement to places like restaurants and retail, those numbers are down by 49 compared to a precovid baseline recorded in february. 50 of us or so are going to restaurants not at all as compared to before. Thats a dramatic change. The same is also true for things like schools, grocery stores, public parks which are down by 20 or more. We are basically staying at home in this fundamental way and that turns out, brian, to be incredibly complicated but also incredibly important as weve seen certainly here in california with our very low numbers for surviving this epidemic. Nbcs jake ward. Brian, ive learned that you say data and i say data. Tomato, tomato. This is also something i think youre going to like, brian these differences are to be expected.
