Illness, well be watching them very, very closely. And we can do that and have an open economy, have an open country, and we have to do that because that causes other problems. And maybe it causes much bigger problems than the problem were talking about now. You understand. Jeff, please. Mr. President , following up on that same topic, and on your tweet, do you think that the cure so far has been worse than the problem . I think the cure has been very tough. This has been very tough. This was an operation, this was somebody going to a doctor and saying, i need an operation. We learned a lot, we fixed a lot of problems. One of the things weve fixed if you look at the obsolete system this administration inherited, it wasnt meant for this, it was meant for a small group of people and even at that it was not very good and obsolete. We have a Testing Program now that will hopefully be able to be used for many years into the future should we have never event like this. I dont think youll hav
York, it was after 9 11. New york is hit the hardest so far, but to be clear, this is a nationwide threat, and were beginning to see this. Numbers spiking in new jersey, louisiana, in pennsylvania, michigan, florida, georgia, and some of them are the people trying to help treat those infected. In just three hospitals in boston, more than 100 employees have now tested positive for the virus, and these are the Health Care Workers were counting on to help the victims. Were covering this story around the country, around the world as only cnn can. Lets go to john harwood, cnn business anchor susan chatt chatterley. These were statements from Steve Mnuchin just a moment ago that might surprise people listening. I am curious what your thoughts were when you saw that 3. 3 million number this morning. To be honest with you, i think these numbers are not relevant. These numbers are not relevant . John harwood, thats 3. 3 million americans who dont have jobs anymore. Theres no question about that
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. We are going to
Terrorist attacks on september 11th. Youve seen that, as the doctor said yesterday, we can expect it if we do everything right. Bestcare scenario. Bestcase scenario. If we do everything right, then maybe 200,000 americans will die. If we do everything right. That, obviously, is more people than died in world war i and the vietnam war combined. This pandemic that a lot of donald Trump Supporters are still trying to underplay, that the president , of course, tried to underplay for a very long time, this is not the seasonal flu. It is extraordinarily is that the president s doctors are now admitting that publicly. It appears that the president is still following their advice. That is really good news. Even though were going to be going through two to three horrible weeks. Yeah. In a month, joe and mika, of daily, sobering headlines, that one we woke up to yesterday was quite high on the list. Dr. Deborah birx, who has been pretty sober in analyzing the data, said, yes, 200,000 if we do ev
Music, and the intuitive approach to playing music. He was a combination of the two, and i think being in a situation where you had to negotiate both of those worlds definitely made us better musicians than it would have been if we had done one or the other. Mmhmm. Listen, theres so much to talk about your father. He mentored, you know, big jazz names like terrance blanchard, Harry Connick jr. You guys are the royal family of jazz. The Ellis Marsalis center for music was built after hurricane katrina. That was part of his legacy. He embodied really new orleans. The mayor has put out a statement talking about him. I want to put up the mayors statement. It says Ellis Marsalis was a legend. He was a prototype of what we mean when we talk about new orleans jazz. For decades your father performed at a weekly gig at a premier jazz club there until just this past year, and so he meant so much to new orleans, and so i want to this virus that took his life is dangerous and deadly as we know.
