Commemorating the end of slavery directed at the media. And in a place with a tragic you can see right there, those are the gray boards. History, this as the president under that is the bronze statue heads to west point today, of Winston Churchill. Gathering more than 1,000 cadets now, the rightwing groups out in the midst of the coronavirus here have all showed up to counterprotest and to march for crisis for a Graduation Ceremony what they say is to save this statue.

Before we begin opening up and certainly before we begin having any very large crowd events. So the thing thats keeping me up at night right now is sort of the lack of a unified strategy. The way that that happening in a emslightly more piecemeal way across the country so first is that we need to have a unified plan for reopening with a little bit more specificity than what weve seen coming out of
And ive been thinking about this opening and closing as less of an open closed society and more like were a rubber band and we need to start stretching to put people back in contact but we have to do it carefully and with a planned strategy or were going to end up where its going to snap back on all of us and were going to be back where we are now social distancing from one another in a more extreme way.

I am joined by Health Commissioner judy. To the right, dr. Ed lifshitz. Great to have you both. To my left, the superintendent of the state police.

Update, late yesterday afternoon, i received a call from eric hagen, the deputy secretary of the u. S. Department of health and humans services. He informed me that of the 395 hospitals hardest hit nationally by covid19 and which collectively will share 12 billion under the latest distribution of federal funds, 53 of those hospitals are in new jersey. Altogether, these 53 hospitals will be receiving 1. 7 billion directly from the federal government. That is the second largest amount of funding awarded only behind new york.

Theyll allow some businesses to open, but not others. Its really a balancing act, as they are looking around at the country. In some states, as you just mentioned, they havent even peaked yet.
