Night, the virus is making the timetable. Back to normalcy is not happening any time soon. I dont want to say that. But false hope of a return to normal any time soon is only proof of abnormal messaging. Were not going to do that here. The need is real, and so must be our determination. Our focus is on the front lines and it reveals that one nurse just lost his battle against this virus. We have his sister here tonight to tell his story of who he was and how it happened along with the doctor who is going to tell you about the unbelievable choices she is now forced to make in an emergency room. This problems not going away, is so neither can our resolve. Together as ever as one. Lets get after it. 82,000 cases. And more important than that number is the rate. It is climbing. It is excaccelerating still. How do you reconcile that with looking at where its spreading and moving to other places at the same time. And then the president saying tonight we need to start easing restrictions that

On friday, donald trump signed a stimulus package that dwarfs others. 2. 2 trillion. It includes measures to send cash directly to Many American families. The president also said he is invokingen an old cold war era w to get manufactures to crank out ventilators. Asked if it will be enough, he would not commit. Weve distributed vast numbers of ventilators and were prepared to do vast numbers. I think that were in great shape. I hope that is the case. I hope that well have leftovers so we can help other people, other countries. Anyone who needs it can get a ventilator . Dont be a cutie pie
So i think that the chance thats going to be our magic normal anytime soon is only proof of abnormal messaging. Pill is not there. That doesnt mean we wont have were not going to do that here. One. We should do everything we can the need is real. To get a drug, and there will be and so must be our determination. Our focus is on the front lines. Drugs that work against this virus.
