The quarter was before those mass layoffs. Meanwhile, in 30 minutes well hear from new York Governor Andrew Cuomo at his daily briefing. Were also keeping another eye on another governor. Louisiana Democrat John bel edwards meeting with President Trump at the white house right now. The governor of louisiana has extended his states stayathome order through may 15th. Well keep an eye on any headlines coming out of that white house meeting. As always, were tracking the number of coronavirus cases in our country right now. There are more than 1. 2 million known cases in the United States, and so far more than 58,000 americans have died, but americans arent just seeing their physical health tested by this virus. Theres also a larger discussion being had about the toll it is taking on our mental health. Thats why this morning were going to do something just a little different with our doctor on duty. Paula madrid is a clinical psychologist. Shes going to be here with us this hour to dig into
Cdc data hints that 58,000 is likely an undercount because total deaths in some of the hardest hit states are 50 above typical levels. Today, just wow numbers on the depth of the economic paralysis. The American Economy shrunk in the First Quarter by nearly 5 . Its the first contraction since 2014.

More than two thirds of americans say theyre hesitant to go to sporting events, return to school, eat out at restaurants, or return to work. The president s top experts, dr. Anthony fauci, says we may have to go without baseball this year, if we cannot guarantee safety. Testing, of course, a key piece of the puzzle. Theres also promising talk today of possible vaccine progress. Deciding who you can trust is critical w
In a question in a moment. But there was a span of time from january 24 through march 5 that i hope the American Public looks at. And it gets back to what is wrong with our Health Care System in general. Early testing from what im seeing was created by the fact that the cdc said that it was going to do its own test. The south korean test that gets cited so often was not going to be looked at. We had to do our own. I know the fda worked with the cdc. But the long and short of all of this is that for nearly a month this was in that bureaucratic swirl. The fda prevented private and Academic Development of tests for weeks. The cdc kdenied access to functioning tests as i cited in south korea. This created through all the red tape and bureaucracy to where we had to come up with a one sized fits all approach due to the uncertainty of the virus. And we are stuck with that now. I dont want to dwell on that necessarily because i think that those are mistakes that we made. Im tired of having it
