A full lockdown and warns time is running out to contain the virus. Almost right for plucking a straight in farmers fear their fruits will rot they cant get enough workers. Into the sport as the premier league clubs announce they will not consult with their players about taking a 20 percent 30 percent a bigger part in pay cuts to help in the fight against the Global Health crisis. So that the United Nations says 70 countries thats more than a 3rd of the world have endorsed its call for a global cease fire as corona virus spreads at an alarming rates around the globe warring parties in libya in syria in yemen and 8 other conflict zones say theyre willing to lay down their arms the u. N. Chief warns a lot more needs to be done. There is a huge distance between declarations and deeds between translating words into peace on the ground and in the lives of people there are enormous difficulties to implementation a scornfully to fester for years distrust these deep with many spoilers and many suspicions we know that any additional gains are fragile and easily reversible and in many of the most Critical Situations we have seen no letup in fighting and some conflicts ever even intensified we need the robust diplomatic efforts to meet these challenges to silence the guns we must raise the voices for peace lets face right away to our diplomatic editor james bays whos at the un then james the u. N. As the secretary reiterating the urgent need for warring parties across the world to play down their arms. Yeah you made this call 10 days ago the u. N. Says that felt it was absolutely vital because they are concerned that the places that have been the places have been worst affected so far from code 19 are places with reasonably robust medical systems and the places that havent been affected yet tend to be in the developing world and particularly conflict zones they are worried about the impact of this for example in Central African republic where there are for 5000000 people 3 ventilators and for that reason the u. N. Has pushed this call and actually the u. N. I think has been quite positively surprised by this call from a global ceasefire its resonated weve had others who have echoed the call most notably the pope but also the Campaign Organization has now got. Some 1000000 people whove signed their petition and weve seen some of the warring parties and some of these conflicts backing the idea but as you heard the secretary general there say you can make gains but they are easily reversible its not just the fact that they are worried about these places they see a window of opportunity because some of these are very long festering conflicts and perhaps something could come good out of this very difficult situation for the world and thats why i think the secretary has come out a 2nd time to make this call 10 days after the 1st time the secretary general is likely to echo this in the coming days because the u. N. Security council has been pretty paralyzed in the opening days of this virus and the response of the virus is finding ways to work again and were going to see the secretary this Security Council meeting in semi Public Session from next week it looks like the secretary general we want to those who will be addressing the section of the Security Council sometime next week. I dont thanks very much indeed james bays there at the u. N. In another part of the city in new. Cuomo is giving his thing it could have been 1000 briefing at lets let them try to weigh although they had a lot of different opinions while they were doing the constitution the one thing they agreed with was the Pluribus Unum out of many one. And it was good advice then its even better advice today. The curve continues to go up the number of tests has reached a new high we did over 21000 tests. Thank you to our great Health Department we have over 10000 new cases 102000 total tested positive 14000 hospitalized 3700 i. C. U. Patients 8800 patients discharge thats good news the number of deaths highest single increase in the number of deaths since we started 23022900 deaths. You see the totality for new york state 102000 new jersey california remember when this started new york had. Airports that were designated entry zones this is an International DestinationInternational Hub we have people coming from across the world. Sooner and had a higher rate than anyone else. Total hospitalization 1400 its also a new high. Daily i. C. U. Admissions is down a little bit but you had more deaths you have more people coming into hospitals than any other night also more people going out which is obviously the evan the flow thats coming in and out of the hospital system. The hot spots we now track on a nightly basis how many people go into what facility so we can track the increase. In whats happening you see an increase in new york city as we know certain communities in frankly more new york city than other communities but you also see an increase on long island. Which is something were concerned about long island does not have as a lab or a Health Care System as new york city we dont have the same amount of resources on long island and we see an increase in the number of cases on long island and that has this very concerned supplies p. P. E. R. In short supply as they are of course the country we need companies to make the materials it is it is unbelievable to me that in new york state in the United States of america we cant make these materials and that we are all shopping china to try to get these materials and were all competing against each other these are not complex materials and we will work with new york manufacturers will finance the transition necessary to make these materials i mean we talk about them as if theyre very complicated this is an end 95 maps this is it. It was 0. 70 before the start its now as high as 7. 00 but this is all that in and 95. 00 mask is. Its fabric its material the f. D. A. Has the specifications and then its 2 pieces of the last the court it cant be that we cant make these this is a gown we call them down because this is a gallon. That. Theres nothing sophisticated about the manufacturer of this garment. Not that the growth of the gone is not the sophisticated about the material it cant be Bad Companies in this country and in this state cant transition to make those supplies quickly again i understand if theres a financial burden we will address that and we will work with you so please contact us. Javits is going to be converted to a covert facility the original plan was to use javits javits is a state Convention Center it was retrofitted by the army corps of engineers to hold 2500 people the original plan was that it would not take covert patients covert positive patients it would take non covert patients and it would be an overflow for hospitals as it turns out we dont have non cope with people to any great extent in the hospitals. Hospitals have now turned into affectively i. C. U. Hospitals for covert patients so we wanted to convert javits from non covert to cove it. The its federally run. Frankly the federal agencies were not eager to do that fema was not eager to do that i called the president i spoke to him about it yesterday morning that afternoon yesterday afternoon the president called me back said he spoke to the task force they would grant the request to transition the coal Javits Center to probate only that is and its 2500 beds so that is a very big deal and i thank the president for doing it he did it despite the fact that the federal agencies were not eager to do it and he did it quickly. So i thank him for that its a big deal for us were still challenging the challenge of ventilators we dont have enough period the system is the situation is very simple now people come in the room most all covert people ironically the number of non cove aid cases has dropped because so many things are shut down that you dont have the same number of boat immobile accidents of people getting hit by cars you dont have the same crime rates so you dont have the same number of trauma cases coming into a hospital. They are covert cases and. Many of them go right to the i. C. U. In the i. C. U. You need a ventilator and if you dont have a ventilator the process stops and we dont have enough and the layers were doing Everything Possible splitting a ventilators using bipap machines by this new protocol using the anesthesia ventilators where talking to the federal government to be as helpful as they can from the federal stockpile but in truth i dont believe the federal stockpile has enough to help all of the states because you cant buy the material at this point were still trying to buy from china were working with ali baba which has been very very helpful to us i spoke to jack ma and mike evans who is the president and they have been personally gracious and very very helpful in trying to get us to source material from china but were going to have to redeploy. Ventilators from across the system in other words there are hospitals that have ventilators there are hospitals that have p. P. Equipment there are private Sector Companies that have p. P. E. Equipment that they are not using that were going to need to redeploy to the places in the hospitals where we need them i had a conversation with the Hospital Administrator yesterday. I understand they dont want to give up their ventilators. Ventilators are expensive pieces of equipment. I understand that even if theyre not using them they are reluctant to see them go out the door the theory is if they. If the government gets them dont never get them back i understand that but i dont have an option and im not going to get into a situation where we know were we are running out of ventilators and we could have people dying because there were no ventilators but there are hospitals in other parts of the state that have been to later is that theyre not using. Im just not going to allow us to go there i think it would be wholly irresponsible so that is andrew cuomo governor of new york state speaking from albany in new york state chiefly talking about the lack of materials in the state to everybody shopping against one another he said we dont have enough until 8 is reiterating this problem that they have that the was also talking about the patients almost all of the patients i see in hospitals occurring to patients in interesting fact so many things have shut down he said were not seeing the same amount of Car Accidents or crime so therefore the trauma cases as many almost all cases are corona cases lets bring in chris and sue me whos standing by has been listening in and all the while kristen the numbers still making grim reading absolutely the number escaped continued to rise yesterday for the 1st time the number of deaths in a day topped 1000 and of course new york remains the epicenter. Sorry about that weve got technical issues a lot of our correspondents are speaking from the homes in isolation from the homes of those who got a problem with kristens connection that we will try to get back to kristen a bit later. Now the u. S. As a whole is scrambling to control the outbreak nearly 1200 people died in the United States on thursday the worst in a single day anywhere on the globe wartime powers are being used in the u. S. To get the needed equipment to hospitals President Donald Trump has invoked the defense production act ordering private companies to make mosques ventilators and other medical equipment. Joins us now from washington d. C. And kimberly 1200 fatalities in 24 hours troubling numbers. Yeah these are troubling numbers and theres still a lot of confusion as americans are listening to these numbers in terms of how to proceed if they do have to go outside their home while there isnt a National Stay at home order in effect about 2 thirds or more of americans have been ordered to stay in their homes in the United States but theyre still allowed to go out for essential slike whether they need food or medicine and that brings the question whether they should be wearing a mask as weve seen for example in israel now citizens have been told that they need to do so this is a question that continues to pop up at the White House Briefings at the white house now saying that there should be clear guidance in the coming days but in the midst of all of this one of the Top Public Health officials as saying that he believes there should be a National Stay at home order something that so far the white house has been reluctant to do but the number of cases of infections in the United States now hitting close 2246000 that number continuing to climb and in the midst of all of this is americans are struggling to figure out how to live their daily lives theres also the Economic Uncertainty that is continuing as well not just in the United States but globally and particularly in the oil markets and the Economic Advisor to the president larry kudlow has been speaking in the last hour or so about that oil spat between russia and saudi arabia once again giving insurer assurances that he believes the president has brokered some sort of a truce to end this oil spot and the essentially the president told them stop colluding as and just essentially deal with this over supply of oil that he wants to see a level Playing Field why is this important because the president s going to be talking about this with Oil Executives that later on this afternoon at the white house prior to his crime virus briefing that takes place at 21. 00 g. M. T. Right around the world of course cases are going up everywhere iran is one of the countries really struggling to cope. Really struggling to cope and of course the United Statess 2800 since it withdrew from that Nuclear Agreement to limit Irans Nuclear program has put in place tough economic sanctions that we know hit the people much more than they hit the government even though the goal is to bring the government to the table and try and negotiate a new nuclear deal so in the midst of all of this the question has come up at the White House Briefing in fact i brought it up myself would the president consider lifting or easing sanctions 1000 iran deals with this chronic virus crisis within its own borders and heres what the president had to say. He said. To the people of iran you havent seen you continue to stand with the people of iran given the fact theyre so hard hit the car to follow their very hard hit of their hair in a lot of ways that hard hit their head in with their economy with their military and with obviously the virus their very hard when you consider easing sanctions to allow medical supplies to get in they havent even asked us to do that we know that sanctions hit the people not them down here a lot they havent even asked us to do that if they want to remain would love to meet and would love to settle the whole thing out but i doubt theyll break them realistically how does a person in tehran pick up the phone and call i think they love america i think iranians love america i think theyd love to be free i think theyd love to have just some of the things that we have you know i remember and many years ago friends of mine were always in iran there were doing real estate deals in iran they were building beautiful buildings all over iran apartment houses it was they were very successful and then one day there came to an end if you dont want the people to read they remember that it was a long time ago but not so long ago and they remember it and ill tell you they love america they love what we stand for. And were not looking for shit were not looking for government to take over government change you know this countrys been through that many times that doesnt work for people who do encourage other countries to who are may have started to follow what i write i found what i didnt you know i put it out very d publicly with respect to iran and said if they need help with respect to the virus wed love to sit with the greatest medical professionals in the world would let their studies are you encouraging perhaps to have to lend their support because there are many countries that he only encourages his kids and. Theyve been a very hostile country they made a deal that president obama should have never made it was a short term deal giving a 150000000000. 00 giving them 1800000000. 00 in kid. Green soldiers who try to use them for all responsibility know this illusionist you. Have a moral responsibility to help them if they ask if they if they needed help i would certainly consider different anything she says they need help well thats up to the United Nations im talking about us and what happens is if they want to help because they have a very big case of virus a very very big case it one of the worst on earth if you believe what youre reading and i happen to believe what i see and what i know and if they wanted help we give them help. Now we should point out that the number of infections inside iran tops 50000 with more than 3300 deaths once again you heard there the president says he will not ease sanctions we should point out though that the United States has offered a rod medical personnel and help but that was refused by irans Supreme Leader or a Committee Thanks very much indeed thats a picture in washington d. C. I can be how. Well weve had a month since joining the was in that we can reconnect now to kristen tsunami whos in new york and chris and we were talking about the briefing given by the governor of new
