We all want more normal. But we know now what may be coming. The cdc head is not the first to say it. So everyone knows tonight lets push the question of whether we are dropping the hammer on prepping for what we know is likely to come, and if not, why not. And what must we start doing . We have players on the medical and political side to test on this. The key remains together as ever as one. We have to push as one for solutions to protect our families and our fates. So what do you say, lets get at it. Why did robert redfield, the cdc head Say Something so scary . Precedent with viruses like this, projections about what we see happening in and around this country right now. And as for it being maybe more dire, the obvious reason will be the flu and covid hitting us simultaneously. So first, if you can, please get the flu vaccine when available. If it works for you, physically, obviously check with your doctor. Hopefully you have the availability. If not, alert the media. This is what the cdc wants. Why . God forbid anyone try to take on the flu and covid at the same time. The fewer flu cases, obviously the more capacity to deal with covid. And there likely wont be a vaccine for coronavirus, so lets do what we can. Now, thats the easy part of preparing. Testing, tracing, treatment. These are not just buzz words for the media and politicians. They are the line between us hiding at home or living some type of normal. Next question. Does the president get the urgency . You tell me. If they do come back and they could come back together with heavy on the flu and much lighter on because i really believe well be able to put out the fires. Its like fires. And weve learned a lot. Weve become very good at this. By what measure . Were making almost nothing that we need here in the United States despite the promise to bring back manufacturing as the key to making america great. We are facing this great challenge. We are not making what we need. And we almost have no plans to do differently. States keep saying they cant handle this alone. 44,000 have lost their lives to this. That number is climbing. When will we get that if tracing happens, it cant be a maybe. It has to be a must. Again, this will be on the president. Testing is good in some cases and in some cases its not. You have governors that dont want to go all out on the testing because they think they can do it in a different manner and do it better. Name one governor who says testing, nah, sometimes, sometimes not. How can testing, knowledge, identification of your problem not be good . Now, look, this isnt about playing gotcha with the president. There is no time for this. Its about making smart moves. And they will start or be frustrated by this president. How do we keep our families safe . The president says we got this. Testing, not always what governors think. Really . Lets bring in the governor of new jersey. His state, he says, cant consider reopening until their Testing Capacity is doubled. Okay. Why the urgency for him. New jersey just saw its worst single day jump in deaths. The governor joins us now, phil murphy. Governor, im sorry to meet you on a day where you have this type of sober reality, but thank you for taking the time. Honored to be with you, chris, and very happy youre doing better. Im one of the lucky ones. My family is blessed. Youre dealing with families all the time that are up against it for a variety of reasons. Now, the cdc drops this big headline. It is not news to you. You have been hearing that there may be another wave when it gets cold, when were back in packed classrooms and work. Do you believe that you are where you need to be for what might come in the fall . Id say categorically no, chris. Were neither there yet in terms of breaking the back of the virus which is why if youre in new jersey watching, stay home. We have made a lot of progress, but were not there yet. Secondly as you rightly suggested we need a much more National Infrastructure and help in new jersey on testing, contact tracing, isolation plans for when we do get there and we want to have that confidence to reopen. And then thirdly, as you rightfully point out, if you look at h1n1, if you look at dr. Redfields comments today, the spanish influenza, they have all got the characteristics of coming back at us again in that next season. In fact, today i toured a new field medical station in atlantic city. We may need that in the next few weeks, but frankly, its there in case we need it six or nine months from now. I dont want to go into this again with one arm tied behind our back in terms of bed capacity, ppe, ventilators, et cetera. So were not there yet. But weve got to, listen, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Right. Now, just to clear something up, are you one of these governors who told the president testing sometimes. I think i might have a better way . No, im not one of those governors. Did anybody say that . I have not. I have not. And weve got the fourth most tests of any american state, so we have come a long way, but were not remotely where we need to be. And the other piece of this, chris, as you know, its not just the amount of tests but how quickly do you hear back . It cant be if we really want to have that confidence to reopen society and the economy and go into restaurants and have some sort of a new normal, youve got to find this out quickly. So its not just numbers of tests. Its turn around. Now, i want to take two steps down the road of hard choices. Connecticut, new jersey, new york. The governors are working in concert. They want to open up marinas, parks. You are part of the cooperation, but you are not opening up your marinas. Why . Our marinas actually were status quo with our marinas. If youre a private use citizen, youre okay. We just weve eliminated any commercial. You cant charter. You cant rent. The restaurants and bars cant be open other than for takeout. Parks are a trickier one, and thats one which would give us no joy to close those down. With the warm weather coming, we saw too much congregation including outofstate license plates. We just cant have that. We closed our parks. I hope someday sooner than later we can hope them but we have to be careful. What about golf courses . Still not open. I know new york has made a move in that direction. We may at some point down the road. But weve got to still be listen, i hate to be dr. No here and weve made an enormous amount of progress, but weve got to continue to stay home and stay away from each other. Thats the only hope. We havent plateaued yet. We still have to get to the top and come down the other side, and the only way we do that is if we keep the social distancing were doing. Now, interesting insight for the audience. So here you have governor murphy. Hes got lamont in connecticut, and hes got cuomo in new york. Theyre being aggressive about reopening things. Murphy is going to pay a political price, right . Wrong. Look at the poll numbers that just came out from monmouth. We see this happening in states all over the place. If you believe the man or woman in charge is being straight with you, you reward their efforts. Murphys numbers just popped. Hes in the 70s and not just with your own party. You know, just to be clear. 70 approvals were seeing with many governors. But you see democrats moving up, independents moving up. Even with republicans, phil murphy, youre at 45 which might as well be 160 for you in this state. Yeah, listen, heres a couple of things that jumped out at me. I dont run things based on polling. I never have, and i never will. Were trying to save lives, and you know that. But a couple of things jumped out at me. Number one, overwhelmingly folks dont feel like theyve got the confidence yet to get back into the regular swing of things. So, its not i think we totally undervalue and underestimate the raw intelligence of folk who is just look at this and say listen, please give us the confidence we need. We dont have that confidence yet. Secondly, there was a question they asked, do you think weve gone too far or not far enough, and for all the noise around these folks who are protesting, over two times as many people said we had not gone far enough as said that we had gone too far which really jumped out at me. So when you start looking at where we are right now, ive been asking these questions the last couple of days because were five weeks in, basically, tracing that case. We are still not making the things that we need here. You guys are still playing the supply chain game. And i know you had good meetings with the white house about figuring out how to streamline that, that you guys have been asking about literally for months. But does it bother you that we havent found ways with the history we have www 2 and how we came together in desperate times that we really arent doing any of that except for maybe one company thats making swabs . It bothers me deeply. I mean, ive been on the phone for six or eight weeks, if not longer, on both knees begging folks from other countries to either sell us or give us personal protective equipment or ventilators. Were the United States of america. I really believe with all my heart the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Weve got to make this stuff ourselves. The fact that we have to go outside of our country to get it is completely galling and this should be a National Wake up call, not just in new jersey but around our country to never live through this again. Well, its all going to be about preparation. All the experts say if we can handle this wave that comes, which obviously will come at a horrible time, right governor, because there will be people just starting to flex their muscles of getting back to normal. Then that will be the measure of how it looks for us for the next year. As always, governor, we are here to be a platform for you to be able to make a case to your citizens as well as people in the country about whats happening, what you need, whats the reality on the ground. Governor, best of health to you and best of luck to the state. Thank you, chris, so much, and again, same to you. All right. God bless. Take care. All right. Now, you know that this supposed coronavirus cure called hydroxychloroquine or deoxyhydroxychloroquine, the president had been hyping it. He had been hearing great things, he said. It sent people flying out to get it. Couldnt find it. Antimalarial drug also used for lupus sometimes. He called it a potential game changer. Then it faded away. What is the proof . Now studies have been done. What do you have to lose . Is that still a standard supported by science . Theres a new study, new information. Dr. Sanjay gupta will explain next. We live in uncertain times. However, there is one thing you can be certain of. The men and women of the United States postal service. Were here to deliver cards and packages from loved ones and also deliver the peace of mind of knowing that essentials like prescriptions are on their way. Every day, all across america, we deliver for you. And we always will. All the way out here just for a blurry photo of me. Oh, thats a good one. Wait, whats that . Thats just the lowbattery warning. Oh, alright. Now its all, check out my rv, and, lets go fourwheeling. Maybe theres a little part of me that wanted to be seen. Well, progressive helps people save when they bundle their home with their outdoor vehicles. So theyve got other things to do now, bigfoot. Wait, whatd you just call me . Bigfoot . My name is daryl. But one thing hasnt breakfast. And, if that feels like a little bit of comfort, its thanks to. The farmers, the line workers and truckers, the grocery stockers and cashiers, and the food bank workers, because right now breakfast as usual is more essential than ever. To everyone around the world working so hard to bring breakfast to the table, thank you. Thats why working together ist more important than ever. To everyone around the world working so hard at t is committed to keeping you connected. So you can keep your patients cared for. Your customers served. Your students inspired. And your employees closer than ever. Our network is resilient. Our people are strong. Our job is to keep your business connected. Its what weve always done. Its what well always do. In these uncertain times, look after yourself, your family, your friends. But know when it comes to your finances, we are here for you. What can i do for you today . Well take a look at the portfolio and make adjustments. Im free to chat if you have any more questions. Our j. P. Morgan advisors are working from home to help guide you through this. For more than 200 years, weve helped our clients navigate historic challenges. And we will get through this one. Together. I just hope that hydroxychloroquine wins. What do you have to lose . Ill say it again. What do you have to lose . Take it. If this drug works, it will be not a game changer because thats not a nice enough term. It will be wonderful. It will be so beautiful. Its a big if. You know, it makes me wonder if the president was telling his personal friends the same thing because i know there are a lot of people around him who were saying be careful with this drug, that there are unintended consequences for people, that there are interactions you got to be careful about, but he never said any of that. So people ran out, anecdotes spread, you got to get the hydroxychloroquine. I had people telling me that all the time, so much so that the stuff became tough to find. Now the question is i know it faded. Why . What does science say . Study after study including a new one from the vas medical centers are showing that hydroxychloroquine is not a miracle drug. Dr. Sanjay gupta joins us right now. I want to go through the study. But lets start with the headline, but lets reverse it sanjay. I am not wowed by what the cdc director said. I believe youve heard this many times. I believe youve shared this several times, and i believe the real story should be everybody knows, sanjay, whats going to come in the fall. And if we dont prepare now, we will not be able to prepare then. Your take . Yeah, i think weve been looking at this as a very shortterm proposition. Maybe thats the way human beings are wired. Its harder for us to look off into the distance. But weve been saying it all along, chris. You and i have had conversations about this. The virus isnt going anywhere. Its a contagious virus. Its spreading from person to person. Its a fairly lethal virus and until theres a vaccine its going to continue to be around. The reason weve had progress is because were doing something thats unprecedented in this country and the world really for so many people to be staying at home its made a difference. The problem is that once we stop doing that, the virus is still out there in the community. So, when dr. Redfield talks about a second wave, he has said this before couple points. If we look at this graphic i want to show you something going back 100 years to 1918 and the spanish flu and what happened there. That first peak was the spring of 1918, march 1918, relatively small peak. Chris, the second peak there, the biggest one. There are three waves. Part of the issue then, part of the issue now, is that it coincides with the flu season. And the flu is a bad problem. Weve talked about that since the beginning. You get them compounded one on the other and that can create a big problem. Weve got to be ready. Weve got to be vigilant. Weve probably got to stay at home again during that time period because it makes a difference for not only coronavirus but also the flu. It can make a significance difference there. All the ventilators, were likely going to need those ventilators. Maybe not right now but we are still going to need those ventilators. This is going to be a little bit of a long haul but we can absolutely get through it because i think we understand it better as long as we act on that understanding. Yeah, thats the key part is what you just said. If you drop the hammer and up production and i believe you have to start making it here in the United States because were not the only ones who are going to get hit. Everybody along that equatorial line that were on around the line is going to get hit, that shares a season. And the supply chain will be strained once again. And if were not making it here and dedicating it to our own needs, wont that be a problem . Yeah. No question. Everybody on the planet wants the same thing. That is the nature of a pandemic. Most of us thankfully have never experienced Something Like this before. But that is the nature of it. So, we know now. And there was some places that we got caught short with regard to testing, with regard to personal protective equipment. We know that. Weve talked about it a lot. But we have a chance to sort of make sure that that doesnt happen to us again. I showed the graph of the spanish flu not to alarm people but to prepare people. I mean, we know. Ive been really encouraged by the stayathome order impacts. I mean, not only has coronavirus gone down but flu is probably fewer numbers now this year as compared to years past because of the stay at home as well. I dont enjoy it. I know you dont enjoy it. You were stuck in your basement for a while. This is something that woshs. Maybe we have to do it again. Maybe its not constant. Maybe we do it intermittently, but were going to be at this for a while. Your governor said turns out you can be contagious if youre asymptomatic which my 10yearold knew two months ago. He went from that to a few weeks later says we got this. Were ready to reopen. Is anything changing there to help boost your confidence about whats about to come in 72 hours . No. Chris, and i dont want to equivocate or waffle on this. We closed late, opening early, and theyre both problems. We are clear that the virus is still out there. We are clear that we are not ready. It is clear what the guidelines are and that we havent met them. And its also clear that a lot of people, chris, are frightened about this. Theyre frightened to go out, so you open up businesses. But people are not likely to go. Is that doorknob safe . Did that person get tested . Is this place sterile liezed . What about the ventilation. All these questions are coming up for people because people are understandably worried. People are worried even if i stay healthy, what if i take it and get somebody else sick. I would feel awful about that. I would feel terrible if that happened. Thats the sort of decisions that are being forced in the state. And i just find it hard to be care and treatment Ab Charitable about this. I understand the governor has concerns about Small Businesses. But whos going to go to Small Businesses . Its a bad idea. Every Public Health official in the country said so. Ambassador birx who is very polite said this, we put out guidelines. We try to use the clearest data possible. I dont see how you could cut somebodys hair or be in a nail salon and physically distance. Maybe they have Creative Ideas im not familiar with. Shes being nice. What she should have said is you cant do this. These are guidelines, i get it, you cant mandate these things. People can get infected that otherwise wouldnt. People can be hospitalized that otherwise wouldnt. And sadly people may die. Im not an alarmist. But thats the reality. Mother nature is showing us something right now. We have to behave as if we have the virus so we dont get sick and we dont get other people sick. And look we have to say you know who hasnt said anything about georgia reopening in terms of exercising caution is the president. This is about politics. It is persuasive. People want to reopen, sanjay. You hear it your house. I hear it in mine. I love the thought of it. I cant wait. It makes you want to take risks because man, are we sick of it . Then you turn to the whats the alternative. The president was saying im a big fan of hydroxychloroquine. You know, chloroquine, another variety of the basket of the drug, take it. Whats the worst thing . So, i ask you on a regular basis. I wanted to take it. You kept saying to me, no, no, no, man. Youre having a depressed immune response. This is a drug for inflammation based off hyperimmune response. Be careful. Its not for you. Youve got to wait for the studies. What have the studies told us . The studies have not been encouraging chris. We need the big study out of your brothers state because theyve got 10,000 doses and those are part of the clinical trial. That data we want to look at. Weve heard from brazil, france, sweden. All those places have basically said potential toxicity. Were recommended hospitals dont administer this anymore. And now the study from the va here in the United States, still a small study, nonrandomized, nonpeer reviewed and thats important to say. Whenever we talk about this, we want it whether its good or bad, and everybody wants something good. But whether its good or bad we should be clear about what were talking about here. This needs to be reviewed carefully. 368 patients in the study. You had the people who just got the hydroxychloroquine. 97 of them had a fatality rate, chris, of 22 . The people who got the those are the people that got the azigt myosin. People who just got the hydroxychloroquine was close to 27 . Those who got neither, death rate close to 11 . I reiterate small study. The evidence is not compelling. Three countries saying dont give it, the va out of this country. I would love to see a positive study on this medication or another one because that would be significant when we talk about the waves thats going to happen in the fall. Were not there yet. There will be data that clarifies this, gives us conclusions on the medications. Hopefully the conclusions will be this one works. It doesnt cause unnecessary side effects and its going to help us get out of this mess. Were just not there yet. And until we have that, we better be damn sure we can test, trace, and treat. And if we cant do that just to be clear. I know sanjay, you agree with me nobody is saying testing is good sometimes that its a maybe and theres a better way. Youve got to test to know what we have and weve got to be ready. Sanjay gupta, thank you for giving the audience what it needs to hear and thank you for being my friend. You got it, buddy. Glad youre feeling better. Thank you. All right. Georgia, thats where sanjay lives obviously. Thats the state in question. In 72 hours theyre going to open up. Were going to go there live because this experiment is going to be watched by this nation. 72 hours theyre going to reopen many businesses there again. Is the mayor of a city near atlanta ready to confront the potential consequences . Lets talk to them. Next. slow music plays laughter baby coos laughter man on video chat hey man chasing dog oh no no no no baby crying at tmobile, we know that connection is more important than ever.

Its time to shape our future. Lets be honest. Quitting smoking is hard. Like, quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big. So try making it smaller, and youll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette. All right. Look, as we all know, no matter where you live, the response to this pandemic is crushing the economy. People like the idea of reopening, why, because our lives are being stifled. We want to get our jobs back if weve lost them. We want to run our businesses. We want to get our lives going again. But polls also show that people do not like the idea of reopening if the tradeoff is maybe being exposed to the virus. All right. A Strong Majority says do not do this if you cant do it right. So why the rush to reopen in georgia . For context, a state that was late to the game, the curve there is not as flat as it is in other states that are being more cautious. Lets discuss. Rusty paul is the mayor of Sandy Springs which is just outside atlanta. Mr. Mayor, thank you for joining us on prime time. Chris, thank you for having me. So you look good. You dont look like you need a haircut, but are you going to run out when the haircut places reopen . Are you thinking about maybe a tattoo to mark the situation youve lived through . Are you going to get back out there as soon as you can . Ive invested in a second cut so im fine. No, you know, weve got to be very cautious about how we do this. Were still waiting on a little bit of guidance from the state to know how were going to enforce all the Different Things that are going to be required. But were going to implement it as safely and as conscientiously as we possibly can in Sandy Springs. And health and safety of our citizens is going to be paramount. A lot of businesses have been open through this. Weve done the social distance thing. I have had to stand in line outside Grocery Stores wearing my mask, wearing my gloves as we waited to get in, and they allowed only so many people in the grocery store. So if we do it right and we maintain the social distancing, you know, we can have an impact. Now, you know, should everything be open . I dont know. But i can tell you this, the market is going to determine whether this works or not because if customers dont show up, you can open your business all day long, and nobodys going to be there. Right. And so its going were going to find out what the level of trust that the public have in this process. But i can tell you ive seen it in our community, and as long as people follow the rules and as long as the retailers sanitize the counters and everything weve been able to manage it and control it so far. Right. Except that youve been careful about which businesses to do and its been limited exposure, so its about scale obviously. And what do you make of the concern criticism that georgia was late to the game, the curve is not as flat as it could be, this governor went Governor Kemp who was invited on the show and he always is at the beginning of it said turns out you can be contagious even if youre asymptomatic to now just a few weeks later saying youre ready to reopen, that theres not the kind of planning, not the kind of basis to pull this off in a way that wont be dangerous. I know what im responsible for, and that is to make sure that we do this right, we do it safely, we do it conscientiously. I know the governor. Hes a friend of mine. I talked to him about two weeks ago, one on one conversation. I know where his heart is. When youre a mayor and youre a governor, these problems have faces. I knew these people. These were people i recruited into my community to bring their businesses there. And its a very difficult challenge to i went in today. Like you, ive been in quarantine for the last 14 days. I went into my office for the first tomb in 2 1 2 weeks and i had a stack of letters this high that companies are required to notify us when they lay people off. There were literally thousands of jobs laying there of people that cant pay their bills. These are people whose life savings and life work is being sacrificed. So, if we can figure out this balance and i think thats what the governors trying to do is lets try to find the balance that allows the economy going while we still continue to protect the people in our communities and making sure that priority number one is Public Health and public safety. You said you spoke to the governor a couple of weeks ago. But am i correct that he did not talk to you about this move like he did not talk to the other mayors of even bigger cities like augusta and atlanta . I doubt seriously your brother calls every mayor in new york when he makes a decision either. So, you know well, i dont know when its Something Like this. This is a pretty big move. Because he also said you cant undo it. You cant even change it from what he makes it. So, you know, hes putting a big thumbprint on this. You think you would talk to the people in charge of the localities. When we started this process, my city had a set of rules, the next door city had another set of rules. We were trying to manage this on the local basis, and the governor was giving us flexibility to manage it on the local basis. What we come to realize was theres such a patchwork of requirements that we needed this kind of statewide step. And once we convinced him that we did need that, he stepped in. I dont know that georgia was late. There was a lot of stuff going on at the local level with mayors and county commissioners trying to manage it. Statewide . Thats what we always want. We want that local control, and he was giving it to us. Now, he had uniform standards but the standard is to reopen and you dont have a say in it. But the voters will decide that kind of question. Heres my concern with you. You are 100 right that the pain is personal. Anybody whos watching reality around them knows that. My concern is you make this move to political risk. But youre not going to know the reality for several weeks because it takes time for people to be exposed, to get sick, to be hospitalized. And if the numbers jump a few weeks from now, are you worried about what that looks like for your community . And you . Im always worried about it. But let me go back to the original aspect of your question, the politics. I hope to goodness nobodys allowing political decisions to drive this process. If its not being driven by science and good, solid information, then the politics dont work. Good politics is good policy. If you have the right policy, the politics will work out. Absolutely understood, mr. Mayor. And look, i would be happy to review any kind of plan the governor had that shows he has the testing things, hes figured out ways to do it. Its just not in there. Thats why it raises the concern about it will happen when it happens. We want people to be healthy. We want people to get back to work and do so in a healthy way. Well see how this goes. The nation is watching. Mr. Mayor, i wish you well. I hope you are in good health. And we are here as an open forum for you to discuss how this goes. I appreciate you allowing me this opportunity. Once this is all over, i hope your viewers come to visit Sandy Springs. I cant wait to meet you in person. Well figure out how to say hello when this happens. Youve recovered. Thank god youre healthy. Thank you. Its a dicey proposition. People want to reopen. Thats not a surprise. Thats how it is in my house and your house. How do you do it . Thats a tough balance. Thats why you run for balance. Either you want to lead or you dont. Nobody said it was going to be easy. In terms of dealing with covid its not going to be easy. There is no miracle drug. But you know what miracles are . In you. In the people in the communities. Happening all over the country. Listen to this story.

If you cant get emotional about this, why even be alive . You are alive. The baby is good. People love you. And better days are ahead. So, tell us this the crying parts over. Thank god the baby is here and shes doing well and you know you have people who have their arms around you in every possible way that they can except actually touching you because were in a stayathome order. Let me lighten your mood a little bit. When you found out that youre pregnant and you have the virus, what was your reaction . Honestly, i wasnt i wasnt so scared because at the time they werent saying that its affecting pregnant ladies as much. It was more like elder will i and all that. So, i thought i was going to have kind of like a flu type of thing. So, i pretty much selfquarantined for, like, a week, and thats when i just couldnt take it anymore. Halfway through the quarantine part i was like wait, this is really this is really affecting me. And i understand people dont have much information about it, so you cant really go by much. But i just know i felt sick and i was really just trying to take care of myself. So, when you decide you have to go into the hospital hm . So, when you decide you have to go into the hospital, how do they explain to you, or did they explain to you, listen, were going to have to put you in a were going to have to put you in a coma and deliver this baby early. How much of that were you aware of . Help us with that. When i went pretty much that day i went to the hospital it was explained to me because they had to put the tubes in. So pretty much it was told to me right away, and thats when i called my family and i told them i told them, hey, im going under, and that was the last that they heard of me. So it happened really quickly. I was freaking out, of course, when the doctor told me that. And thats thats all. And then after that, i was pretty much in an induced coma and, you know, holding on. So what is it like to wake up and have a baby . When you were not expecting it to go that way, and obviously all the builtin concerns about how early it was. What was it like . What do you remember about coming to . What i remember coming to was just thinking, my baby, wheres my baby . They did show me a webcam of the baby when i did come to. But thats all i remember thinking. I was like, okay, wheres my baby . Because it just feels weird. One day one minute youre pregnant and then you wake up and youre not. I was like, oh, my god, whats going on . So it takes a while to kind of, like, grasp things, you know . And the nurses were nice enough to show me the baby through the webcam and actually also a video of my nephew to uplift my spirits while i was in the hospital. Well so thats what i remember. Just to let people know how she is. She was born just over 1 pound, right . 1 pound and 12 or 13 ounces, Something Like that. 26 weeks early but no covid. Shes in there now but shes making progress. You are shes making progress. You are home, but you have some issues, so youre dealing with a big a big Recovery Plan now, right . Im dealing with a huge Recovery Plan. Takes me a bit to do things because my lung, my heart, my csection is not no ordinary csection. I have, like, a big wound there that has to be taken care of, which actually im so blessed that no one will see me. Its just a bunch of like, you know, insurance issues and mmhmm. In connecticut where i have family, i cant be in brooklyn right now or, like, jersey or anywhere near congestion. Right. Im fragile right now, you know . As my baby is. Right. So can you see the baby . Are you allowed to visit with her now . No, not at all. Not at all. The baby and i will be pretty much reunited on her due date, which is july 8th. How are you dealing with that . With, you know, dealing with, like, my csection opening, my physical therapy. I mean, i can at least sit up, right . Thats good. But ive noticed its you know, theres postpartum. Theres trying to, like, understand i am a mom. Shes just not here, you know . Its so much emotions. I just cant put it into words. Its just so much emotions. Yeah. All people have to do is look at you and imagine what theyd do in your position. Thank god. Look, this is not the road anybody would have chosen, but hopefully zion keeps getting stronger and so do you. And it is weird to be sure. Thank you. These are weird days, but it is great to hear about a happy ending and we very much want to stay in touch. The big reason i wanted to do this story is i know youre up against it. I know that this phase hurt you economically, took away your ability to make money right now and i know your needs are very great. Im going to put out on my social media the gofundme page that you have for you and the baby and the push to kind of give you what you need to reunite. Thank you for sharing your story.
