But ambulances are a constant presence on the streets the states death toll has doubled in just 3 days a refrigerated truck was brought in to help this Brooklyn Hospital deal with a sharp rise in fatalities. Hospitals are running out of medications some hospitals dont have protective gear for staff or family members of patients that come to the hospital or running out of medication and of running out of a printer and but even running out of oxygen which is something that person to have posted until. The white house is projecting that the virus could climb up to 240000 lives across the country despite this the pandemic authorities urging restraint and that you are going to wear a Face Covering when you go out please understand please dont need an in 95 mask and if you take one of those in 95 i ask you maybe taking it out of the hands of a Health Care Worker who desperately needed to care for patients. Union leaders are warning that frontline Health Care Workers are at risk youre here to say that our members are afraid to work because the protocols arent being damned that is what i were calling for hazard pay youre trying to keep ourselves safe were trying to work are safe were trying to keep our community Health Care Workers who didnt get access to a mosque are now stuck at home. So i havent really been given too much direction besides just wait it out a whole series out or its going to wait it out and then you get worse you know a few you can breathe you know your start adoration for. President s trump is warning americans they face a very tough and painful 2 weeks and he has not given to understatement. Well for more lets bring in journalist james right now in new york james we are seeing a deaths mounting in new york what can you tell us about where you are now. I think you can say that the mood in new york city is becoming increasingly concerned i think that goes nationwide as well in the last 24 hours theres been a discernible shift in the emphasis on the scale of this crisis for example previously President Donald Trump he was talking about you know the possibility of the big cure being found coronavirus saying that the crisis was going to be long lasting. And was going to tank the economy for such a long time now that has changed in the last 24 hours weve just had President Trump speaking to the nation again and he said its going to be vicious the predictions the projections for the total death toll from the crisis that are come out of the white house. Suggest as many as 100000 or up 2240000 people could die and that even if we still bang the social distancing rules that everybody does they shut up in their apartment not just here in the worst part of the country the tri state area of new York New Jersey and connecticut but i need to add the. Other parts of the country like florida new orleans. Starting to show biggest signs of epidemic there. A growing sense of understanding of the urgency of this pandemic how did new york become the epicenter of the u. S. CoronaVirus Outbreak. Well theres been some investigations and started about there and it does seem to be the coronavirus did come to the earlier than we originally thought and the way that youve got all these outbreaks in the world is the people were traveling in and out of china the world way before anybody realized there was a problem and you know one case on one airplane going to a different can multiply become 23 case then other people catch it and multiply it once again and new york is one of those places where. Its been described as a gateway to one of the biggest. In the world people coming and going. Big surprise that such an important match an area one of the Financial Centers the home of wall street and International Commerce is the u. S. City. Worst hit by the crisis. As Governor Andrew Cuomo says sure its here right now next week and next month its going to be another big that is across the u. S. At the moment we know that over this weekend one new yorker died every 12 minutes from the corona virus that according to the department of health what has gone wrong. Well ill give you one piece of the used to come out in the last few hours and that is the stockpiles of personal protective equipment these are the face the gowns and the gloves that doctors have to wear so they can prevent themselves contract the virus while theyre treating people and off they get on to the federal stockpiles of those basically running out so the federal government is running out the gear it needs to thin to new york and add the state is in states across the country so theyve got enough but theyre docked so i guess what does that show what is it i like not only the protective gear also the ventilator. That are going to be gently needed to keep people alive so they can be. Made to continue breathing. Were out of all this equipment we didnt have enough of it and i think thats going to be a big question the going to be all once this crisis is over about the Health Care System in the United States whether it was for the for the challenge and whether or not the economy and the structure of lots of people not having health care and still going to work even though i think just because they need to keep the paychecks coming in is going to be a big question theyre going to.
