Republicans and democrats alike, especially that are watching this and understand the humanitarian crisis, unparalleled Health Crisis coming to new york city, when they hear the governor of that state begging for help for their residents, this is war. And, again, more people could die from this that have died everywhere combined according to a study the white house was at least concerned about last week. This is like a general under fire knowing that the enemy is approaching from all sides and begging for help for the sake of American People, for the sake of seniors. And the president s again, in that moment there seemed dismissive, almost contemptuous of that. And make no mistake were were going to show some schwartz from Johns Hopkins and Financial Times that show the crisis coming to america is going its going to be on an Unprecedented Health care crisis and its going to look much worse than china, much worse than italy, much worse than spain, much worse than france.

Hospitals. There are already critical shortages. A bronx hospital is running out of ventilators. In brooklyn, doctors are reusing masks. Thats the headline, and the subhead tonight, of the new york times, heres the lead, quote, for weeks, as the coronavirus has spread across the world, new york officials have warned that a surge of cases could overwhelm the States Health care system. Jeopardizing thousands of patients. Now, that surge has begun. In a startlingly quick ascent, new york reported today the state was closing in on 8,000 positive tests which is about half the cases in the entire country. The number was ten times higher than what was reported earlier this week. New york has ten times as many cases now as it did when we started this week. And part of that is increased testing. The state says they processed 10,000 more coronavirus tests overnight last night. But regardless of whether it reflects increased testing or not, its giving us more information about what new york is co
New york reported today that the case was closing in on t8,00 positive tests. New york has ten times as many cases now as it did when we started this week. And part of that is increased testing. The state says they processed 10,000 more coronavirus tests overnight last night. But regardless of whether it reflects increased testing or not, its giving us more information about what new york is coping with, and the state is now close to 8,000 known cases with more than 1,200 people hospitalized already. There are not infinite beds to put people in in new York Hospitals as they bear the brunt of the first wave of this illness in the United States. And the hospitals in new york that already do not have enough beds, they also do not have the supplies they need to keep hospital workers and doctors and nurses from getting infected themselves. And they of course are the workforce that we must keep alive and uninfected and well enough to be working. As the hospitals fill up and spill over first
I am neil cavuto. You are watching your world. Lets get the latest on the reopenings happening across the country. Hey, mike. Hello there, neil. You are going to see a lot of efforts that are reopening starting today, and theyre going to come with restrictions attached. 50 capacity in restaurants. You hear the term social distancing. Terms we have become very familiar with. Life picture in louisiana. Big openings in the big easy. Retail is open. The bars are open if they are serving food. So our churches. Both of them at 25 capacity. So you can go to the bar and confess what youve done in the same night. I was pretty concerned with the final 22 counties in the hawkeye state. Libraries, racetracks. What cannot open are things like bars, casinos, and theaters, where crowds would be larger than ten. There is a risk to saying lock down. We are seeing domestic and child abuse cases go up. Increases of mental illness. We have more and more islands that are experiencing food insecurity, so th
