Cant handle the bodies. Theres so many of them. This is, essentially in my community, queens, new york. Ive seen things ive never seen before. Over the bridge from queens, there is now an emergency Field Hospital being built in central park to help deal with the overflow of those sickened by the coronavirus. This is the new grim reality on this monday morning. Streets lined up with refrigerated trucks, acting as makeshift morgues, while hospital staff and First Responders struggle to keep their heads above the dizzying death toll. Good morning and welcome to morning joe. It is monday, march 30th. We begin with the many fastmoving developments on the coronavirus. The Trump Administration is now extending its guidelines on social distancing. Instead of the president s goal of easter, the guidelines will now extend by more than two weeks, to april 30th. The death toll is increasing rapidly, now at nearly 2,500. It took a month for the u. S. To go from 1 to 1,000 deaths. According to the n

Former Katrina James breaking new than, James Clapper, will will will will will jim comey, lou, mcdon mcmcdonough and stephanie power. Pretty curious that the Vice President of the United States would be requesting unmasking, in this case of general flynn 8 days before he left office. Griff the Biden Campaign firing back blasting the release of this statement saying these documents have absolutely nothing to do with any fbi investigation and they confirm that all normal procedures were followed. Any suggestion otherwise is a flat out lie. Whats more, its telling that these documents were selectively leaked by republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the Trump Campaign after having them provided by a partisan official for this very purpose. So we will see. Meanwhile northerly twist in
York times. The other is from a Public University of washington model often cited by the white house. First, the government projections show the daily death toll there nearly double, from about 1,750 deaths currently to about 3,000 a day on june 1st. This is pretty dramatically different than where people were thinking. New cases are projected to go from about 25,000 a day to 200,000. The president was asked about the report in an interview with the New York Post. He said, quote, i know nothing about it. I dont know anything about it. Nobody told me that. I think its false. I think its fake news. The white house put out the following statement. This is not a white house document nor has it been presented to the Coronavirus Task force or gone through interagency vetting. This data is not reflective of any modeling, any of the modeling done by the task force or data that the task force has analyzed.

Morning joe economic analyst, steve rattner. Political writer for the New York Times nick cansori and shane harris in washington joins us this morning. Did you say Donny Deutsche . I need Something Better than ad min. No. It was a Third Straight busy day on capitol hill. General james mattis and mike pompeo and ben carson, all facing tough questions. A Third Straight day, trumps cabinet picks broke from policies the president elect campaigned on. Even statements that there soon to be commander in chief was making as recently as this week. Take a look. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. Although the pause is temporary, we must find out what is going on.
