Efforts to contain the spread are triggering a cascade of cancellations, travel bans and the threat of a recession. As of this afternoon there were about 3,000 known cases of covid19 in the u. S. , but responsible, conservative, estimates say many million of americans may become infected. The idea behind the restrictions is to let that happen over the course of a year, not in a matter of weeks. For a preview of what might be coming to your community, we went to a hotspot Westchester County, new york. The spread, there, began two weeks ago when an infected 50 yearold man, went to a religious service, a funeral and a party. Since then, hes been in a hospital, too ill to speak. That has propelled teams of courageous nurses to visit hundreds of homes on the frontline. Westchester county is home to a million residents, about a half hours drive from americas largest city. Chevon jones, Caitlin Doyle goldsmith, and cathy gomez are nurses in the county department of health. Theyre suiting up to enter the home of a couple who had contact with that first patient. A few minutes before they put on their equipment, they had introduced themselves on the doorstep. Chevon jones i want people to see who i am first. Its very important. I want them to see my face before i put on all the equipment. So, we go, knock on the door, introduce ourselves. Were from Westchester County health department. Were nurses. Were here to do the testing. Cathy gomez when this first started, we would ask them also, do you want us to go around the back so that your neighbors dont see this and they dont get alarmed . But then as it started becoming more public they were jones they were okay. Pelley how do people react to your visits . Gomez grateful. Thats all i can say. Theyre all kind, grateful. Pelley not fearful . Gomez not fearful. Not fearful at all of us. Pelley the nurses collect one swab from the nose and another from the throat. A few days ago, the swabs were being carried by state troopers, three hours, to the only lab in new york certified to do the tests. Since then, another 28 labs have been approved. What are some of the questions, chevon, that you get from these families that youre visiting . Jones the number one question is, when will i have my test results . When will i be off of quarantine . You know, a lot of em was, like, is there a letter that you can give to me for my employer . The answers are; up to three days for the results, 14 days in quarantine, and a patient can show his employer the, official, quarantine order left by the nurses. Pelley there must be people who say, oh, i cant be quarantined for 14 days. I have a business trip to detroit next week, right . And you tell them . Gomez you must. Pelley you must. Caitlin doylegoldsmith were asking you to stay home for 14 days, also pending the results of your labs. Were asking you not to go to work, not to go to school, not to go food shopping. Really, just to stay home. If you need to get a breath of fresh air, youre allowed to go in your backyard, but dont go within six feet of anyone. Pelley this past week, the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, closed broadway theaters and all venues with more than 500 seats. He ordered bars and restaurants to operate at half capacity. Andrew cuomo we have to get down the rate of infection. And the only two ways to do that is test, test, test, find the positive, isolate the positive, stop the contagion by reducing the density. Just reduce the ability of the virus to spread. Pelley from the early data, it appears that the vast majority of patients have mild symptoms. So why is it important to take these severe measures . Cuomo if we did nothing, yes, 80 would contract the virus. They would selfresolve. Some people would require hospitalization. And we could overwhelm the Hospital System and those Vulnerable People who needed the Vulnerable People who needed the intensive care wouldnt get it. Intensive care wouldnt get it. Pelley but part of the cost is an economic crisis. Markets rose friday, but not before the dow industrials suffered its most rapid fall from a record high to a bear market since november, 1931 the great depression. The airplanes are flying empty. I was at j. F. K. Airport yesterday. It was almost abandoned, it looked to me. You have cut the capacity of every restaurant in new york city in half. These are real costs to the economy. Cuomo what value do you put on human life . What value do you put on human life . And we say here, its invaluable. And if you say, well, were gonna lose 5,000 more people. I say close the restaurants. I say close the stores. I dont wanna lose 5,000 more people. If you do not slow the spread, the Health Care System can be overwhelmed. And more people will die. Pelley new york state spent 30 million just this past week on its virus mobilization. In Westchester County, 60 nurses and e. M. T. S are dispatched from a center hastily set up by the state in Vacant Office space. That man is a forest ranger, theyre pulling in staff from 20 state agencies. When we were there, 222 homes had been visited, 639 were waiting with more added all the time. County Health Commissioner dr. Sherlita amler told us investigators are questioning everyone who may have had contact with that first patient. Dr. Sherlita amler where have they traveled to . What do they do for a living . Who do they work with . Where do they work . What kind of work do they do . If there are children in the family, where do they go to school . Then, what about their social life . Were they at any parties . Did they go to any business organizations meetings . Did they travel . Pelley this is what she is trying to avoid. In italy there were too many patients too fast. The hospitals were overrun. Slowing the virus in america buys time. Amler why do we need time . Because we do not have a vaccine currently to prevent this disease. We do not have an antiviral to treat this disease. So, if we can slow it down and there are fewer people infected, well have fewer deaths. Pelley most of Westchester Countys quarantined are in the city of new rochelle. Here, the state has imposed what it calls a containment zone. Mayor noam bramson it is primarily residential. Pelley mayor noam bramson told us the center of the zone is the synagogue visited by that first patient. Bramson so the containment zone has a onemile radius. To be very clear, because theres a lot of confusion about this it is not a quarantine zone. Its not an exclusion zone. It is an area in which large gatherings within large institutions are prohibited. Which means no gatherings of more than 50 people. So it effects schools, both public and private. Thats houses of worship. It effects the local country club. But it doesnt have an effect on residents, it doesnt have an effect on businesses. No one is prohibited from entering or leaving. Its not as though this areas on lockdown. Pelley maybe not the area, but this lock is on the gate of new rochelles high school. The nearby middle school is being sanitized. And this is a bank in westchesters containment zone. Tamar weinberg its very difficult when you have Young Children, but, yeah. Pelley Tamar Weinberg had contact with the countys first patient. Shes quarantined at home. How old are your children . Weinberg three, five, seven, ten. Pelley how long have you been behind the gate here . Weinberg for a week. Pelley what is that like . Weinberg a little stir crazy, but thankfully i love them, so were good, were good there. Pelley im usually much friendlier than this, is ten feet or so, and were told thats what we have to do in order to avoid any contact. Weinberg right. Pelley she shot these pictures for us of her online life Online School for the kids Online Support from the community. Weinberg the community at large has, theyve been amazing at just offering to do any types of errands, shopping for us. And what they do is they come to our house. They drop off food at our doorsteps. Pelley what are you gonna do the first day you can open the gate . Weinberg im gonna go to the gym. Im gonna run. Running around in circles around my driveway, even though its nice and all, i almost die of boredom. Pelley friday, the state opened a drive through Testing Center in new rochelle. Swabs are passed through the window nose and throat samples are passed back out. The driver will get a call in a couple of days. The state hopes to process 6,000 tests a day. And you know what to do . Pelley by this morning, Westchester County reported tests on more than 1,300 people. Of those 14 have come back positive, so far, 4,000 in Westchester County have been under quarantine. George lattimer is the countys top elected official. When you have someone in a mandatory quarantine for 14 days what if they dont have 14 days worth of groceries . What if they dont have their prescription drugs . George lattimer thats our job. Our job is to figure out how to get them the food that they need. If there are medicines or anything else under the sun, you know, any of the necessities of life, we have to figure out how to deliver that. Pelley lattimer is also thinking ahead to a worse case. Lattimer civil unrest is always a possibility depending on how large a group you have to quarantine. So, the real question is how many more new rochelles will we see in the nation . How large will this get . And will government at every level, from the federal government on down, be prepared to deal with these things . Pelley nothing seems normal. Even in preparing for our interview with Governor Cuomo at the state capitol. Cuomo so unusual pelley the new York Department of health required we sit ten feet apart because the state is monitoring the 60 minutes office where several colleagues have the virus. After the interview, one of the governors daughters went into selfisolation after being near someone who might have been exposed. Its bound to get worse . Cuomo it will get worse. It will get much worse before it gets better. Pelley can you imagine a quarantine of new york city . Cuomo no. I cant imagine a quarantine of new york city. I can imagine additional density reductions. Were at 50 occupancy. Italy went to Closing Stores entirely besides Grocery Stores and pharmacies. I think actually the more successful you are early on, the less dramatic efforts you have to take later on. Pelley when does this end . Cuomo months. Months. Pelley we have been following Public Health nurses in Westchester County who are putting on all the protective gear, going into the homes of people who are believed to be infected. I wonder what you think of their effort. Cuomo god bless them. God bless them. God bless them. I marvel at their courage and their dedication. You cant pay a person enough to do that. Its a character statement of who they are. Pelley you know, a lot of people watching what you do would think that its heroic. Jones this is what Public Health is, and so this is what we do. This is our job. Doylegoldsmith for me, i think you feel like the whole community is your patient. Pelley you know, im curious, knowing what you know, what do you tell your own families . Gomez wash your hands. Doylegoldsmith maybe no unnecessary travel. Dont go to big events if they could be avoided. Jones you know, theres panic out there. And its really, like, i tell em, until i become hysterical, dont really worry. Ely your tt being in these peoples homes wearing those hazmat suits of yours and saying dont be concerned. Jones be concerned, but dont panic and dont be hysterical. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. Ask your parkinsons specialist our Retirement Plan with voya gives us confidence. Yeah, they help us with achievable steps along the way.
