Welcome to cbs this morning from our house to yours. Were coming to you from each of our homes this morning because we, like you, are practicing social distancing out of an abundance of caution like so Many Americans watching right now. We are at home. The most important thing we believe is that we continue bringing you the news, which we will do throughout this crisis. Lets get right to the latest. Federal stayathome guidelines that were due to expire today have been extended until at least the end of april. Thats one month from today. Heres where we stand right now. More than 143,000 coronavirus cases are reported across america. More than 2,500 people have died. New york state has, by far, the most cases. More than 59,000. But the numbers are going up rapidly in states like louisiana, michigan, illinois and california. Our lead National CorrespondentDavid Begnaud is reporting from his home here in new york. David, how much worse do we think this is likely to get . Well, anthony, let me give you a scenario of whats happening between the communication with the federal government and the State Government. The president says the resources are plentiful in arriving but at the state level, especially here in new york, there seems to be a diskeng disconnect. You have leaders and icu nurses saying were still not getting the masks we need to protect ourselves. Youll hear from louisianas governor this morning who is a democrat, but has not criticized the president. And says i have been asking for ventilators from the National Stockpile and as of now have not gotten any. Back here in new york, hospitals are getting creative as they are being asked to do more. Mt. Sinai hospital in new york city is now setting up tents in central park to treat the citys growing number of coronavirus patients. Were going to be using every place we need to use to help people so this is the kind of thing youll see now as this crisis develops and deepens. Everything has changed. Reporter phil suarez has been a paramedic for 26 years. Listen to him say how theyre entering almost every house these days. Every home you go into now, you go in with goggles, a gown and a mask on . We do, yes, we do. I look at surfaces and i can almost visualize coronavirus. The cdc has issued a travel advisory telling everyone living in new york, new jersey and connecticut to avoid all nonessential travel for the next two weeks. New yorkers have been told that when theyre traveling to rhode island, theyll be stopped and asked to quarantine. The governors of oklahoma and texas are now telling travelers from other states that have hot spots that if you enter our state, you are ordered to selfquarantine for two weeks. Understand that executive orders that i issue about travel is keenly focused on one main goal. And that is to reduce importing covid19 into the state of texas. One of the main hot spots this morning continues to be new orleans, louisiana. They have 3,500 cases in louisiana with at least 151 deaths. One of those who died was 33yearold april dunn, a member of the governors staff. We have case growth thats on the trajectory right now that puts us in grave danger in about a week, ten days, not having the Ventilator Capacity we need. Reporter to michigan now where the number of coronavirus cases is doubling nearly every three days. Detroit is converting its Convention Center into a 900bed medical site. In illinois, officials are investigating the death of an infant infected with covid19. The governor says he is still waiting for thousands of ventilators that he asked the federal government to send his state. Were not relying upon that. Were just out in the market acquiring any piece of ventilator equipment that we can. Reporter over the weekend, californias governor said his state received 170 ventilators from the National Stockpile, but they were broken so hes hoping to get them repaired and up and working today. Tony, in the conversation i had with louisianas governor, he said, david, we dont want to get into a fight with anyone, but we are fighting other states for the same resources and he said im simply trying to prepare just like i would for a hurricane. And thats what this is. We need to prepare. And its a fight, david. Thank you very much. In spite of that fight, in spite of everything were doing to slow down this virus, it is still outpacing the Resources Available to treat it. And that led President Trump to xepd the governments social distancing guidelines. Weijia jiang reports from the white house where the president recently gave up on his target date to lift restrictions. We had a an aspiration of easter. Reporter President Trump says he was simply being hopeful when he repeatedly touted reopening the country by easter last week. But when you hear these kind of numbers and you hear the potential travesty, that was an aspirational number. Reporter according to dr. Fauci, 100,000 to 200,000 americans could die from the coronavirus. If we do not mitigate to the extent that were trying to do, that you could reach that number. Reporter fauci and others cautioned against lifting restrictions too early. The president already has a new timeline. We can expect that by june 1st, we will be well on our way to recovery. Reporter mr. Trump also questioned why some hospitals are asking for so many masks. How do you go from 10 to 20 to 300,000 . 10 to 20,000 masks to 300,000 even though this is different. Something is going on. Where are the masks going . Are they going out the back door . Reporter President Trump also claimed hospitals may be hoarding ventilators, but theres no evidence for either claim. The number of confirmed cases nationally has risen dramatically up almost five times from what it was a week ago. For cbs this morning, weijia jiang, the white house. Doctor deborah birx is in the white house. Shes at the Coronavirus Response coordinator working on this pandemic. Its very good to see you. I think many people were very relieved that the president decided to extend the deadline. What exactly did you all see that made you know that, listen, april, while it may have been aspirational, easter, it was not a good idea. What are you seeing that convinced him to extend it . Were constantly integrating data from the Global Pandemic as well as whats happening in the United States. And we can see in italy that as you flatten the curve, the duration at the top of the peak lengthens also. And so we can really project as best we can about whats happening in new york to the rest of the country. Certainly were hoping that there arent more new york cities and new york metro areas around the country. But we have to plan for that and we have to really tell the American People that they have to do more to stay inside, to wash their hands, to social distance and to assume that other people are infected, even if they look asymptomatic. Doctor, what exactly do you need to see . Because its gone from midapril to the end of april. What exactly do you all need to see that will let you know its okay to lift social distancing . So by the time youre seeing cases in the hospital, we believe that it has gone from 5 to 50 to 500 to 5,000 and potentially even 50,000. Thats the part we dont know. How many asymptomatic cases are there . Thats what were going to be working on in the rest of the country that doesnt have these huge metro hot spots, to be able to do surveillance at the same time were supporting the metro areas and other areas to do full diagnosis and treatment. You know, we keep emphasizing social distancing. A lot of people still are not getting this memo. Theyre still on the beach. Over the weekend, we saw churches in florida where the ministers were saying, were not going to be intimidated. They are shaking hands. The congregation is shoulder to shoulder. Do you think we have to have an official federal mandate because just asking people does not seem to be working in many places. Well, i think the president s made it clear what the guidelines are and the expectation that every state and local government will look at this closely and do two things. Ensure that supply into their population and prepare every region, every county, every hospital for a contingency plan if they get this kind of doubling of five to 50 to 500 to 5,000 to 50,000. We want every place in the United States prepared for that. So its a critical that even if you dont see it, it could be circulating in your community. The president also still seems to be questioning the request for the number of masks and the number of ventilators. We just heard him saying weijias piece it goes from 10 to 20 to 300,000. He says where are all the masks going . Are you questioning what the hospitals are saying that they need . I think whats really important here is to look at all aspects of the supply chain. What does each hospital have and how are they being supplied . Are they being supplied by the private sector or are they relying on the premovement of the stockpile that went into warehouses . It doesnt help any of us, and i know everyone realizes that, to have supplies there and not reaching the hospital. And i think thats the piece we have to get that piece right. And were looking to make sure that the hospitals are too busy to define what they need. Its our job collectively, the state and local governments, along with us, to ensure that the hospitals are receiving the supplies they need. Is it concerning to you, though, that the president seems to doubt what governors are telling him that they need . I think were watching every single piece of data extraordinarily carefully. And well be able when this is over, well be able to really have a flu pandemic plan that really takes all of this into account. Where we can actually predict what the needs were. The stockpile was created to predict what the extra need was. Clearly, there wasnt enough in the stockpile to really meet the needs of all of america. And so, really, increasing the manufacturing, that has happened, and making sure for manufacturing to hospitals, that this is happening. That hospitals are getting what they need and thats what were working on every day. All right. Dr. Deborah birx, we all know this is all hands on deck. Thank you for your time. Anthony . Thank you. Thanks, gayle. A growing number of doctors and nurses say the pandemic is stretching our Health Care System to the brink of disaster.

His employer, physician Contractor Team health, said in a statement that it has not terminated dr. Lin. A lot of us are intimidated from talking. A lot of us, you know, choose to remain anonymous.

Im no different from the next person. Reporter and at the end there you just heard from dr. Arabia mollette. To give you perspective for how real this is for some of the doctors, dr. Mollette said several people in her family have contracted covid19, including her mother who is a nurse. She says her mom was in the hospital for two weeks. Thankfully, shes now at home recovering, but this is what these nurses and these doctors are dealing with. Not just trying to save the people who come in there, but knowing they, too could be affected and then hearing their loved ones are being infected all while this pandemic is happening in realtime. Yeah, jericka, its important to keep in mind, its the very definition of courage. We thank all those on the front lines. Thank you jericka. This is a global crisis.
