spots across the nation. and we'll also hear stark warnings from those who know the virus better than anyone, the patients. so at this hour the surge in coronavirus cases continues. nearly 3/4 of a million people around the world have the virus. now that is according to johns hopkins university. it's monday morning here in the u.s. and the rates continue to spike. there are about 140,000 cases in the u.s. with nearly 2500 deaths. most of those people are likely to die alone, without friends and family around them. as one doctor told cnn in the medical version of solitary confinement because that's because of the fathers of infection. we know that new york, those numbers have reached a new high as well. nearly 60,000 cases and nearly 1,000 deaths. and the state has received 2500 ventilators from the federal government. they've distributed millions and they've distributed millions of facemasks and gloves. despite all of this, a doctor tells cnn there's still not enough of anything. new york governor andrew cuomo has paid homage to the first responders who have lost to the coronavirus. >> not afraid to go -- everyone is afraid. you think these police officers are not afraid to leave their house? you think these nurses are not afraid to go into the hospital? they're afraid, but something is more important than their fear, which is their passion, their commitment for public service and helping others. >> so the u.s. president, donald trump, is no longer planning to reopen the country by easter extending his social distancing guidelines until the end of april because his top medical advisor warns there might otherwise be millions of cases in the u.s. take a listen. >> you're talking about 2.2 million deaths. 2.2 million people from this, and so if we can hold that down, as we're saying, to 100,000, it's a horrible number, maybe even less, but to 100,000 so we have between 100 and 200,000, we altogether have done a very good job. >> so cnn has more on president trump's coronavirus guidelines. take a listen. >> reporter: for americans still self-quarantining to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, word that the new normal will continue for at least another month. at a press conference sunday, president trump said despite his initial hope that restrictions would lift by easter, the pandemic's growth requires americans to stay put through at least april 30th. >> we will be extending our guidelines to april 30th to slow the spread. on tuesday we will be finalizing these plans and providing a summary of our findings supporting data and strategy to the american people. >> reporter: the worst of coronavirus is yet to come. dr. anthony fauci told cnn's jake tapper, that based on modeling, 100,000 or more could die. >> the number i gave out is based on modeling, and i think it's entirely conceivable that if we do not mitigate to the extend that we're trying to do, that you could reach that number. >> reporter: more states across the country now preparing for a surge in cases. new york remains the national epicenter. 59,313 confirmed cases of the coronavirus as of sunday with 965 dead of the disease. governor andrew cuomo says the state has not yet reached the apex of coronavirus cases. a moment he is planning for by adding medical beds, equipment, and personnel to the state at a break-neck pace. >> they still forecast the apex to be 14 to 21 days. >> reporter: four new 1,000 bed field hospitals across new york city to help alleviate the taxed hospital system, approved by the federal government over the weekend. even as the pandemic surge spreads to new cities and states, much of the sniping. trump caught state leaders in connecticut, new jersey, new york by surprise by floating a vague quarantine in the new york metropolitan area. >> some people would like to see new york guaranteed because it's a hot spot. there's a possibility we'll do a quarantine on new york, probably new jersey and certain parts of connecticut. >> reporter: before revealing new travel restrictions from the cdc warning residents of the new york area to stay home at much as possible and to quarantine themselves for 14 days if they do leave. guidelines following those that were set down 14 days ago. >> reporter: president trump says there's something nefari s nefarious. >> they go from 10,000 to 20,000 to 300,000 and that's a hospital that's always full. so i think people should check that because there's something going on with it. i don't think it's hoarding. i think it's maybe worse than hoarding. >> reporter: the washington post says florida, president trump's state of florida, has had all of its requests from the federal government fulfilled. other states continue to beg for supplies and equipment. >> florida, i look, they're very aggressive in trying to get things and they're doing a very good job. >> reporter: throughout the country the strain on the health system is growing. nurses in the bronx are saying they're struggling. continuing questions from medical workers about whether they'll get the right equipment they need to get that job done. behind me is the aqua duct raceway and casino complex in queens, one of the four field hospitals being set up here in new york to help confront the apex if and when it comes. >> so as hospitals across the country cope with the surge of patients, doctors, nurses, and other medical staff are pleading with the public to just stay inside and help stop the spread of the coronavirus. they're even beginning filming their experiences on the front lines to give us a better sense of what they're going through. take a look at this. >> hi, everybody. my name is monica. i'm making this video to help you understand how difficult covid-19 is. to give you a better idea of what's going on in new york city so you can really take this seriously. hospitals are running out of medications. some hospitals don't have protective gear for staff or family members or patients that come to the hospital. we're running out of medications. we're running out of equipment. we're even running out of oxygen which is something that patients that have covid-19 need. >> we don't know who has it. you hit a tipping point and we're drowning. we're running out of equipment. nearly everybody coming to the emergency department has this and we're getting completely overwhelmed. >> a common misconception going around that it's only the elder people in our population being affected. that is simply untrue. every day we are having people, younger adults coming in, who have very little co-morbidities and illnesses going on who are being seriously affected by this illness. >> this has hit a lot of people. >> hi, i'm dr. sactarias and i work at an e.r. in brooklyn. today has been crazy. we're short staffed. we're short supplied. the last few weeks every day the charge nurses are giving us a baggy of goodies essentially, personal protective equipment that we're to make last throughout the day. i currently did not get one today because we are out. >> so we're joined now by dr. matthew, a primary care physician. doctor, good to see you again. thank you for joining us. you heard some of your colleagues there. they were pleading, begging people to stay at home, but also outlining the basics that are missing from american hospitals right now. >> crazy time, robyn. good day to you and to all our viewers across the world. you know, when you're in a crisis like this, you can only do the best that you can. i know that sounds almost borderline pespessimistic, but really in so many ways when you're in a crisis, running out of masks, personal protective equipment, basic necessities, when you're talking about emergency room doctors and nurses, respiratory therapists scared to go into work because they don't feel protected. if they're not protected, who's going to take care of our patients? >> yeah. we're seeing images here. i know there have been plans and there are plans currently to put up field hospitals in central park. we've also obviously got refrigerated morgues because there are so many people dieing parked outside of hospitals. it is monday morning here, another week beginning in the u.s. and around the world. people are really getting to grips with the idea that this is nowhere near over. in the u.s. here, estimates 100,000, 200,000 people potentially could die, and the u.s. president saying that's a good case scenario. >> it's an awful situation. you know, bha tell all of my patients, my family members and friends, listen, yes, it looks like there's very little that we can do, but there's still a lot that each individual person can do. there are cultures where if a doctor gets on tv and says, socially distance yourself, that's confusing. i heard from a nigerian viewer. i live in a family of six people. how am i going to socially distance myself from my grandmother, from my uncle, from my nephew, from my niece? so what i tell a lot of people is, listen. do the best you can. if you live in a family of six or seven, let that one person be the only one that has to step out of the house. in some communities, robiyrobyn have to work. not everyone has that luxury to work from home. the entire family unit should act as one person. i know it's difficult, but in our mind, if you think about it that way, that is exactly the way that you can decrease the number of cases and cut down on the asymptomatic transmission. >> what about a lot of people who just have to go into hospital, and i'm talking here about pregnant women who are having babies, they're having to go into hospitals or clinics. i know in new york initially some of the hospitals said no woman can come in with a partner. you have to give birth alone. andrew cuomo the governor has overturned that saying you can have one person. hundreds of people are dieing alone or birthing alone. this is scary stuff for people. >> really scary, robyn. i heard they overturned almost the mandate. when you are pregnant, you think you're dieing, what you want is comfort. you want somebody to touch you, to hold you. so, you know, this is the way i look at it. if you're pregnant and you're about to deliver a baby, you can take in one person with you. that absolutely should be a consolation to all of our pregnant patients across the world. unfortunately, robyn, you can't predict what's going to happen with covid-19. if you are short of breath and you're whisked into an icu, you might have little time to call your loved ones. i'd like to believe that they will comfort you and make you feel better and comforted. >> what advice do you have for those who have elderly parents or grandparents. how do you, a, keep them going with comfort? and, b, get food to them or make sure that they're safe? >> good question, robin. i tell a lot of my patients, listen, if you have elderly people living in your house, they should not be stepping out of the house. they should not be going to church. they should basically be sheltered in place. also, we need to check on our elderly. nursing homes should have no visitations. only the appropriate health care professionals that need to visit our elderly should be in the building. i was talking the other day on cnn u.s.a., when it comes to groceries, if you can help an elderly drop off groceries at the doorstep, do that. my parents are elderly, robyn, and i have done my best to socially distance myself from them. we're ordering groceries in, not going to church, trying to do more face time. that's how we should proceed. we should protect not only our elderly and the number of young people out there compromised. it might be asthma, somebody recovering from cancer. these are all different types of people that we should be taking care of. >> thanks for your perspective and advice. appreciate it. >> thank you. still to come, the three american cities

quickly becoming new major hot spots for the coronavirus. in one week in michigan the number of cases increased five fold. in illinois the governor announced on sunday more than 1100 new cases and 18 deaths there. take a look at this. in new orleans, a convention center will be converted into a hospital with 1,000 beds for covid-19 patients. cnn has correspondents in these hot spots and beyond. ed lavandera is in new orleans. oscar jimenez is covering iowa and sarah westwood is covering another area. >> reporter: the number of coronavirus cases in the state of louisiana and new orleans continues to spike. there are now more than 3500 cases of coronavirus here in louisiana. nearly 1400 of those are here in the city of new orleans. that is putting a great deal of strain on the system. they're in desperate need of more personal protection equipment, medical staff and they also need ventilators. the governor has requested some 12,000 ventilators and so far has only received 192 from private vendors. the governor said he asked fema for more and they have not been released to this state. that will be something to look toward this week as state officials here continue to urge people to practice social distancing, stay a qua from people, stay away from large crowds. that is still not something this state is fully complying with and there have been a number of issues that have popped up here over the weekend that suggest that state officials are growing concerned about just how seriously some residents in the state of louisiana and in new orleans, a very social city, is taking all of these warnings. they say that is crucial in terms of trying to get this coronavirus outbreak here in this state under control. ed lavandera, cnn, new orleans. >> reporter: as the number of coronavirus cases continues to rise here in the state of illinois, including coming on the heels of the deadliest day we have seen yet in this state, there's a real push for medical supplies to keep up with the rate of infections that we have seen. that push has come from all levels, from federal, to state, even the volunteer level. on the volunteer side we saw it play out in the form of a personal protective equipment drive. people would drive up to the united center and drop off gloves, masks, other equipment that would be distributed to local health care systems in the state of illinois. this location in particular, this arena is typically hosting professional athletic games now. it is the beginning of a new reality becoming a logistics hub for the city of chicago. we are continuing to see why efforts like that are going to be so significant as the number of cases continues to rise and we mentioned this coming on the heels of the deadliest day yet we have seen in the state of illinois. one of those deaths came from an infant less than a year old. cnn, chicago. a nursing home in maryland is the site of a growing cluster of cases of coronavirus case that is spiked over the past couple of days. 66 residents at the pleasant view nursing home in maryland have tested positive for covid-19. 11 of those patients have been hospitalized. the nursing home says they aren't moving patients out of the nursing home unless they require an elevated level of care. this outbreak in maryland is raising concerns because of the situation at the life care nursing home in seattle, washington. dozens of people died there when they became the first cluster of cases in the united states. so far this is the biggest outbreak since the case in washington. because of the unique vulnerability of the population, they're older, tend to have underlying conditions, and that's the point that they tried to make on sunday when they spoke to reporters. take a listen. >> this is extremely serious because of the vulnerable nature. if somebody is in a nursing home, they're there for underlying conditions. we have 66 people with underlying conditions more infected with this virus. >> maryland officials have said they're struggling with staffing at the pleasant view nursing home. with one county health department official says this happens because some of the staffers are afraid of contracting the virus if they come into work. so maryland officials have had to turn to temp agencies to try to staff that nursing home amid the outbreak. this comes as cases in the d.c., maryland, virginia area have spiked. it took three weeks for the number of cases to reach 1,000 but just over the past three days that number has spiked to 2,000. >> sarah westwood, thanks for that reporting there. now amazon employees at the company's staten island, new york, warehouse plan to walk off the job in the coming hours. up to 200 workers are protesting amazon's decision to keep that facility open despite cases of a confirmed coronavirus case last week. right now here are the u.s. stock futures. all in the red ahead of this new week. christine romans joins me now from new york with more on all of this. certainly the markets are preparing for a wobbly week again. no doubt that's because a lot of folks are still waiting for paychecks and planning on a longer period of unemployment than they had initially thought. >> reporter: robyn, wednesday is april 1st. rent payments are due and auto payments are due. the white house says, 179 million people are going to get a stimulus check. it will be direct deposited. that's a pretty aggressive time line. they're trying to get money into people's hands right away into the stimulus. also part of that, a really important small business bailout. the treasury secretary saying go back to small businesses. go back and hire your workers back. the government is paying you to do that. and they say that by friday there should be methods in place to go to your local bank for a small business and apply and get money to pay for a couple of months of expenses. the real important turn, robyn, is how quickly the government can get money into the hands of unemployed people, small business owners and regular people. >> let's talk about amazon and this walkout. certainly very concerning for many of these employees. >> reporter: yeah. that is a staten island facility where they're planning to walk out at noon. they want the facility shut down and thoroughly cleaned. amazon, the corporate parent said they are doing routine cleaning of everything all of the time and they have a safe location. all of these are safe environments for workers. amazon is saying if anybody feels uncomfortable, if anybody is unhappy, they can go home, not paid, for as long as they need to to weather the coronavirus outbreak. so you're seeing people on the ground at amazon concerned at least in this one facility, staten island facility, they say they're going to walk away for a strike or walkout later today. the company is saying the facility is safe. instacart, other companies are having big questions from their workers who are saying, look, how are we safe? we're shopping in grocery stores, going and delivering goods to people. so i think that you're going to see more questions as people get nervous, rightfully get nervous about trying to do their jobs, these essential workers trying to do their jobs when so many other people are home. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. the impact on the travel and airline industry is growing. european easy jet is grounding the entire fleet. and they reached an agreement with the union to furlough staff april 1st. meanwhile, airbus has delivered 4 million facemasks from

what is your advice to many american viewers? >> i think you have to take the lockdown seriously. it is really, really difficult. we're getting to the first of the month. rent is due, bills are due. people understand that only the lockdown will stop the spread of the virus. it's tough. it's difficult, but it's worth it if we're going to see these numbers decrease. >> thanks so much, bobbie. i want be to go to al goodman. you're there in spain. and the same where you are, a spike in deaths and a real sense that the country's struggling to contain it. >> reporter: indeed, robin. spain has got the world's second highest death toll from coronavirus just behind i9ly. it's kshlg bring behind still, but that's been going up. just to give you an idea when the stay at home lockdown order went into effect two weeks ago there were slightly more than 300 deaths, now there are 6500 and 37% of those have come in the last three days. we are expecting new numbers any minute. they come out midday. i am standing in front of one of the hospitals here in the capital which the military is moving into to set up a field hospital because it's overloaded and they have tried to relieve the pressure on this hospital and others in the region, which is the hardest hit. the madrid regional government saying they started this crisis with 641 intensive care unit beds. they've now almost trip that will to 1745 but less than 20% are available. so in madrid and in the second city, barcelona, basically a frantic effort to come up with enough icu beds using hotels, military hospitals, whatever it takes. the spanish government is trying to get the 17 regions of spain to share resources and alleviate the pressure here where it's needed most right now. robyn? >> al, thanks for theup da upda from spain. >> nic robertson is live. >> reporter: good news is the u.k. is calling for retired health care workers to return to work and help. there are 3/4 of a million volunteers to help out the health service, get food and helping the 5 million people that are vulnerable that the government has asked to shelter in place, stay at home, not go out. a huge national response to the pandemic. at the same time, there are people who are criticizing the way the government's handled this. >> i had taken a test, that has come out positive. >> reporter: u.k. prime minister, boris johnson. the first world leader to get covid-19. his health secretary and several top officials all have the symptoms, all self-isolating. the message from government, keep calm, we are carrying on. >> there are no gaps of government. >> reporter: as emergency hospitals are hastily constructed. masks and other vital equipment, ppe, belatedly rushed to the pandemic's front lines, hospitals, by soldiers. there is also another message from government. >> the situation will get worse before it gets better. >> reporter: what to believe. what to think. guess everyone is asking with some forming unfavorably against the government. the respected medical journal "the lancet" describing the government's response so far as a national scandal. the secretary in chief saying the government has failed to follow the world health organization's guidelines. claudia paralini leads a union representing doctors. >> it's a snapshot. a snapshot into the ppe and the preparedness for the onslaught. and 80% of our members that were privy to this snapshot said they were fearful. they were anxious. they were fearful for their safety. >> our action plan as you know sets up attacking the virus, contain, delay, research and mitigate. >> reporter: just three weeks ago johnson's plan sounded solid. no one mentions it now. but then this former top government official was urging faster action. now reluctantly accepts the fate this government has delivered. >> i think it's fair to criticize the government in these circumstances. they're trying to do their best. when we look back on it, people might say it was a bit late to move. >> reporter: that questions will need to be raised is in doubt. her primary thought is keeping her doctor's spirits up. >> the questions will have to come afterwards. it's not something that is particularly useful right now to decide whether that's the right thing or the wrong thing because we can't judge it because we don't know what the end result is. >> reporter: the result that depends not just on government but on everyone in the country doing their bit, staying home, social distancing. and more news from the government today, an alternative and supporting patients in the greatest need that requires more con for the and procedures. there is something called the air system and it doesn't require the sort of intense medical procedures to be performed but does by the pressure of the oxygen given to the patient, something that's been used in china and italy and has been reverse engineered at a university hospital here in london to go into production and snap up production of this system that keeps the lungs open for longer. that will take some pressure off the desperately needed ventilator system that the u.k. needs. it has 8,000 and it is trying get more. this is an intervention that the government is sort of putting forward at the moment and this could be coming online as early as later this week. >> yeah. some sort of stop-gap for some patients. i know we've been seeing a lot of these shortages in new york and of course across europe. how prepared is brittain to ramp up the expectation that this could get worse in the coming days and weeks? >> reporter: there are many metrics by which to measure this. germany is now into hundreds of thousands of coronavirus tests that the government can perform there. brittain is only up to 10,000 during the same period. so the british government sort of behind on its testing capacity. it has been criticized by doctors and nurses and the front line for not providing quickly enough that personal protection equipment. the government announced over the weekend it had delivered 170 million masks, 40 million pairs of gloves, 13.7 million aprons to front line medics over the weekend. that's being done by the army. but again the numbers within the he service, the number of health care professionals using this equipment and the need to -- it's not reusable, some of it. that while the numbers are big, experts are advising, look, actually, we just need more of this. and in some areas some medical authorities are reporting that they didn't get some of what they needed. that's still stepping up. the criticism exists, but everyone recognizes that's not going to be helpful. the helpful thing to do is to rally around and support and that's why you have 3/4 of a million people volunteering to do that. >> keep commentary as you said. thanks so much for that report. nic robertson in london. thanks, nick. you're watching cnn, and the job is to protect the public from the pandemic, but as the virus spreads, new york's first responders are struggling to protect themselves. details on the growing risks they face. that's next. a van, it would do more than haul. if i built a van, it would carry my entire business. i'd make it available in dozens... make that thousands of configurations. it would keep an eye on my fleet... ...and an eye out for danger. with active brake assist. if i built a van, i'd make it available in diesel and gas. introducing the all-new sprinter starting at $33,790. mercedes-benz. vans. born to run. 1 in 3 deaths is caused by cardiovascular disease. millions of patients are treated with statins-but up to 75% persistent cardiovascular risk still remains. many have turned to fish oil supplements. others, fenofibrates or niacin. but here's a number you should take to heart: zero-the number of fda approvals these products have, when added to statins, to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. ask your doctor about an advancement in prescription therapies with proven protection. visit truetoyourheart.com [ "one morwoo!me" b[ laughing ]] woo! play pop music! ♪ no way dude, play rock music! yeah! -woah! no matter what music you like, stream it now on pandora with xfinity. and don't forget to catch "trolls world tour". let's party people! ♪ one more time a tribute for emergency staff at a hospital in the netherlands. as you can see here, gathered on one side of the security door to serenade their emergency room colleagues. they sang and danced. you'll hear them sing "you'll never walk alone." as of sunday morning the hospital was caring for about 70 people with coronavirus. and this is new york city expressing their appreciation for medical workers, first responders and all essential workers. the pandemic is taking its toll on first responders. new york police department has lost three employees to the virus. we get more on all of this. >> reporter: to see the toll the pandemic is taking on first responders in new york city, one need only look at these police officers standing at full attention in the rain as one of their own, detective cedric dixon, takes his final journey. >> he is going to be so sorrily missed. it is just a very, very difficult time for the 32nd precinct and for the department as a whole. >> reporter: dixon had been on the force for 23 years. he's the first sworn member of the nypd to die from covid-19 and the third member of the department to die within a little more than 48 hours. the first two were civilian employees. >> as i stand here, i cannot begin to describe what we are feeling, what the families of these three heroes are feeling. we are hurting, we are crying, and we continue to fight. we simply have no other choice. it is in our heart and it is in our soul to sacrifice, to serve, to fight for you. >> reporter: nearly 5,000 of the department's uniformed employees have called out sick. that's about 12% of the nypd. the largest police force in the country. the department says there will be nearly 900 positive coronavirus cases by morning. at least 29 are hospitalized, one in critical condition. new york's governor acknowledging the department and the risk all first responders are facing. >> you think these police officers are not afraid to leave their house?
