Im glad you could join me there are now more than 300000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States more than anywhere else in the world. In hard hit regions like new york state and california medical supplies have started to run lower the death toll already stands at over 8000 speaking to the American Public on saturday President Donald Trump warned that the coming weeks would likely see the number climb even hia this will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week and theyll be a lot of death unfortunately but a lot less death than if this wasnt done but there will be death were looking for an obvious focus and the hardest hit regions some of them are obvious and some are so obvious they spring up they come and they. They hit you like you got hit by a club that was donald trump speaking to the American People a short while ago with a strong warning that things will get worse before they get better. For more on this lets bring in journalist abby coup with osten in new york city good to see abby look the diocese in is continuing in new york state bring us up to speed on the latest there. Of another grim milestone now in the last 24 hours 630 people have died there is over 113000 cases in new york state alone and we talk consistently about the shortages when it comes to the protective gear for doctors and nurses but theres a shortage of medical personnel as well and not being Governor Cuomo has now said medical students on the verge of graduating will be permitted to begin practice practicing rather than going to expedite that process and then along with the sound of men and women who have offered to come out of retirement to work on the front line theres also a text message that was sent out urging anyone with a medical license to step forward so the measures being taken right now to recruit people to enter the Health Care System is ongoing as we look toward that peak that Governor Cuomo says is merely a couple of weeks away for right now and unfathomable situation and its ongoing and right now jared there is no light at the end of that tunnel. As you say theres a shortage of medical staff but theres also a shortage of supplies tune including ventilators Governor Cuomo says more are on the way. Yeah i mean ventilators in the shortage with regard to those pieces of equipment thats been a concern since day one and Governor Cuomo has said that he needs about 37000 ventilators for the peak of this outbreak right now there is some help on the way oregon has donated 140 pieces of equipment theyre lending it rather china is sending about a 1000 ventilators and also 500 ventilators from upstate new york and hospitals that dont require them at this time will be deployed to new york city and as you know jared new york city 65 percent of the coded 1000 cases are here in the city so they are certainly going to need those ventilators and the mayor has said he needs about 25023000 this week alone so the 500 will certainly help but theres a dire need there so thats the situation with regard to the ventilators mass shortage not just here but across the country and to some staggering numbers that state is now the u. S. At the center of the coronavirus how is the situation in the rest of the United States. Yeah i mean all eyes on new york right now least americanizing this is the epicenter as you mentioned facing that 1st wave of infection we washed over 5005600 people already but there are certainly concerns when we look at other cities and with regard to the dangers acceleration when it comes to the number of cases particularly new orleans and destroy and its extra concerning because these states these cities rather are home to vulnerable communities People Living under the poverty line in new orleans for example of out of 4 of the population there lives under the federal poverty line in detroit that number is 37 percent and youre already living below the poverty line the chances that you have access to Affordable Health care is already low and the potential that you have underlying conditions like diabetes is higher and then the board are the group of people who are more vulnerable to coded 19 here oftentimes that this.
