Testing and what governors do offering guidelines. Pres. Trump thank you very much. I would like to begin by saying that we are continuing to negotiate with the democrats to get our great workers and Small Businesses all over the country taking care of. Tohink we are getting close a deal. Could happen, could happen. A lot of good work has been going on. We could have an answer tomorrow. We are going to see what exactly does take place. We are also looking at helping our hospitals and our rural hospitals who have been hurt very badly. The rural hospitals, for a long time, havent been treated properly. We are looking to help them and beyond. We are looking at hospitals as part of the package. We will see how that all comes out. But a lot of good things are happening, very good negotiations. I just got off the phone with the secretary of the treasury, and we have very good negotiations going on right now. I think you could have a nice answer tomorrow, but we will see.

Gov. Cuomo good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here today. I want to thank our hosts very much, northwell. Michael dowling to my left is head of northwell. They have done an extraordinary job all through this situation. They have an extraordinary leader in michael dowling. Michael dowling ran health care for the state of new york, social services for the state of new york. He worked with my father, came for one year, wound up staying with my father for 12 years in state service. So, he is one of the really beautiful and brilliant leaders in this state and it is a pleasure to be with him. And i want to say to all the people of northwell who have done extraordinary jobs, thank you so, so much and thank you for having us today. To my right is melissa derosa, she is the secretary to the governor. To her right is what is your name again .

That is why we have to double our efforts to make sure that we work harder to get through this. The saddest part of all of this is, this did not have to happen. If you look at the southhampton study, 95 of this would never have happened if china had been honest with the rest of the world. Their deception has directly led to 30,000 americans dying as of right now. We have to make sure that never happens again and we are never put in this place again.

We are now up to 22 million americans that this has affected through their jobs compounded on the lives they have lost. As we saw and we looked at what congress has been offering and is been able to pass, today we got some good news and some sad
