Because i can still make my own insulin. And trulicity activates my body to release it like its supposed to. Once weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. Its not insulin. It starts acting from the first dose. And it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known Heart Disease or multiple risk factors. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk.

Step by step, were going to figure this out. Were gonna find a way through this. Were working really, really hard in hospitals, our nurses, our techs, all the docs. Its about staggering when people get sick so that the hospitals can cope. Were gonna go through an awful lot of these. All across puget sound, people have been stepping up we stay at work. For you. You stay at home for us. Just know were all with you. Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you doctors nurses. Whitaker the United States has the tragic distinction of having the highest daily death toll from covid19 anywhere on earth. Last week saw nearly 2,000 americans die at home or ich thousands of medical workers are falling ill, pulled from the frontlines just when we need them most. So far, more than 50 have died nationwide. For doctors and nurses, a steady supply of personal protective equipment or p. P. E. Can be a lifesaver. But there are massive shortages in those supplies. How did the wealthiest, most medicallyadvanced nation on earth wind up so utterly unprepared to confront this pandemic . We spoke with the combative white house official in charge of procuring p. P. E. , and doctors and nurses risking their lives without the same protective gear many of their counterparts around the world have. Dr. Sheldon teperman every hospital in new york city is teeming with this virus, right . In my place, there are hundreds and hundreds of patients. Many, many dozens of intubated, sick covid patients. In the average place in new york city, whether its n. Y. U. , cornell, presbyterian, northwell, stony brook, there are hundreds of intubated covid patients. And a lot of people are dying. Whitaker doctor Sheldon Teperman is chief trauma surgeon at Jacobi Medical Center in the bronx. 19 rates earth. He runs four intensive care units full of criticallyill patients. His days, he told us, seem endless. Its the same in hospitals all over new york city. Cross town at Brooklyn Hospital center, overworked doctors and nurses with limited protective gear some wearing trash bags bound with tape race from emergency to emergency. At wyckoff hospital in brooklyn, body bags line the hallway. One doctor called conditions there catastrophic. After another 16hour day, Jacobi Medical Centers dr. Teperman came to us exhausted. We maintained social distance, each in a different new york lation. In waves. It comes in waves. So, it could be manageable in the emergency room at a given moment. And then, were hit with a terrible wave. Whitaker when that wave washes in, what is it like in the er . Dr. Teperman so, emergency medicine physicians and nurses. Theyve got to stare into the faces of these very scared citizens in new york. And, at a certain point, when they can no longer breathe for themselves, they have to have a tube put down their throat, and they have to be put on the ventilator. Whitaker you told us it was like hell on earth. Dr. Teperman yeah. , ou kno calibrating what im saying to here. Right . We people need to stay home. New york city is on fire. Our neighbors are dying. Health care workers are being affected. Right now, you know, my boss, my second in command, my nephew, my senior nurse, second senior nurse. Whitaker the people you just mentioned have all fallen ill from covid19 . Dr. Teperman yes. Yes. And some of them are quite sick. Whitaker doctor teperman and his colleagues are repeatedly exposed. He told us he sees the virus in hot zones around the hospital. Dr. Teperman im speaking metaphorically that i see the virus. Its also a protective mechanism. There are moments in the hospital, you know, where the virus conceivably is pluming into the air because a procedure is being done that creates an aerosolizing of the virus. I mean, thats just a fact. Those are the true n95 moments. Whitaker n95s are the coin of the realm in this crisis respirator masks that filter 95 of arn just as important though, are the gloves, gowns, goggles, face shields, surgical masks, all p. P. E. Designed to be discarded after every encounter with an infected patient. Do you have enough masks . Kelley cabrera no. Whitaker do you have enough face shields . Cabrera no. Whitaker gowns . Cabrera no. Whitaker Kelley Cabrera is an emergency room nurse at jacobi. Cabrera we want to help our patients, and we want to do it safely. Whitaker who led a protest to draw attention to the lack of p. P. E. At hospitals nationwide. The problem has gotten so bad theres a hashtag getmep. P. E. On twitter with posts like, im a physician at a new york City Hospital and this is the p. P. E. I was just handed for my shift. A yankee souvenir rain poncho. Cabrera look, my neck is exposed, im wearing a reused mask. I have another one covering it. Whitaker cabrebra has been filming video diaries, but says shes speaking out reluctantly. We conducted the interview remotely. Cabrera every Health Care Worker infection, every Health Care Worker death is preventable. Whitaker how do you feel about going into work every day . Are you safe . Cabrera no. Absolutely not. If you do a simple google search, look at what other countries are wearing in comparison to us. I mean, it makes, i mean, it makes sense that were getting infected. How could we expect not to . Whitaker more than 900 doctors and nurses in boston have tested positive for covid19, yet, as of last week in hong kong, where masks are not reused, there were no reported infections of hospital workers. Cabrera prior to this, prior to coronavirus, we would have been reprimanded for doing the things that were doing now. Were Walking Around with medical waste from room to room, from patient to patient. Whitaker did i hear you say, youre Walking Around from room to room wearing medical waste . That what it is. Were wearing stuff that is, its dirty. The fact that were given a mask to wear for five days, its, its wrong. Whitaker one of her fellow nurses, freda ocran, has died. Another was put on life support. And a young e. R. Doctor was admitted to the i. C. U. And yet you go back to that hospital every single day. Cabrera if we dont go, who is going to take care of these patients . I mean, i think were getting to a spot where, where people are, are really, i mean, its a very difficult moral question, you know . Its like, do i not show up to work and protect myself . Or, do i show up with and do the best that i can with what i have to help other people . A lot of us are speaking out, because we realize that this problem is so much bigger than our individual hospitals. Ay and her fellow nurses are skeptical about the shifting centers for Disease Control guidance on the use of personal protective equipment when treating patients with covid19. Cabrera were looking to the c. D. C. For answers, and initially they had certain recommendations for what we should wear. We watched those recommendations be scaled back, not based on science, not because miraculously coronavirus wasnt as contagious. They scaled those back, because they knew that we didnt have the proper supplies. Peter navarro the biggest lesson here is make this stuff here. Whitaker economist Peter Navarro is special assistant to President Trump for trade and manufacturing, tasked with getting p. P. E. To americas medical workers. Navarro we wouldnt be having this problem if we had the Domestic Production of essential medicines, medical countermeasures, medical supplies like masks and medical equipment like ventilators. If we made it here, we wouldnt be faced with this. That was, that was the original sin. Whitaker navarro spoke to us from washington, d. C. With the Strategic National stockpile now depleted, he was put in charge of the defense production act, to mobilize american industry to meet the demand for medical supplies. Im here in new york, and we hear daily the hospitals are running out of masks, theyre running out of gowns, theyre running out of gloves. My question is how did we, the United States, the most powerful, the wealthiest country on earth, get blindsided like this . Navarro its the global globalization of production through multinational corporations, who salute no flag, who love cheap sweatshop labor, and who love the massive subsidies that the chinese to brit from her thereron whitaker n is ant proponents of its first policies. Now, in the wake of the outbreak, more than 70 countries across the world are restricting the export of products u. S. Doctors and nurses desperately need to treat covid19. We have a nurse that weve been speaking to. The nurse asked what has taken you so long . Navarro what is taking whitaker youre talking about ramping up and the defense production act, and shes on the front lines having to reuse masks and gowns. Navarro were moving in trump time, which is, say, as swiftly as possible. If you look at the trajectory of events we, we, we, we learn about the potential for a pandemic. Were not sure what the scope of it will be. The Trump Administration starts rapidly mobilizing. But, but, it, this, this is the 500year flood. And it takes time. Whitaker i have seen reports that the Intelligence Community was notifying the administration back in january that this was happening. Navarro this is, like, like, the fake news stuff. Its, like, okay somebody said whitaker its not fake news, sir. Navarro its like, show me the money here. What exactly did they say . Did they say, theres gonna be a Global Pandemic thats gonna shut down the entire global economy. Whitaker well, it turns out navarro himself said almost exactly that. A few days after our interview, the news site axios published this memo navarro wrote in late january in which he warned the White House National Security Council the chinaborn virus could cause a Global Pandemic, take a halfmillion american souls and cost the economy 5. 7trillion dollars. He told us he does not contest its authenticity. Navarro no apologies here from this administration. We are, we are doing better and more than any other president couldve done. Whitaker sir, this is the best you can . Navarro you say, this is the best you can . Its, like, oh, somebody couldve done better. Really . Who couldve done better on this . I mean, really, think about this. Cabrera and i know its a pandemic, and we, its just really hard for us to accept the fact that this is the best that we can do. I wouldnt wish this upon anybody. Were running out of supplies that, its not just the p. P. E. And ventilators. Were running out of i. V. Pumps. Were running out of stuff that we never ran out of before. And it is unacceptable that in the United States of america, the richest country in the world, we are struggling like this. Whitaker this week was one of the worst in new yorks history. Covid19 patients filled hospitals and morgues in numbers that dwarfed 911. The Trump Administration says its moving heaven and earth to get medical supplies here. Heaven can wait, new york cant. The president did say that the problem with some people is just, no matter how much you give them, they say its never enough. Dr. Teperman well laughs i would say come visit. Were taking care of, just in our system, americas largest Public Hospital system, thousands and thousands and thousands of covidpositive patients. So, yeah, theres never going to be enough. Keep it comin. Because you dont want to go into those rooms, do you . Were going to go into those rooms. We just need to be properly protected. ticking for more on our coverage of the coronavirus, go 60minutesovertime. Com. baby coos laughter man on video chat hey man chasing dog oh no no no no baby crying and other Money Managers dont understand why. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients. Thats why were a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. So, what do you provide . Cookie cutter portfolios . Nope. We tailor portfolios to our clients needs. But you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right . We dont have those. So, whats in it for you . Our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. At Fisher Investments were clearly different. Aand were here for you ry day fespecially now,rs. Our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. Doing Everything Possible to keep you connected. Through the resilience of our network and people. We can keep learning, keep watching, and most of all, keep together. Its the jo it is the job we will always do. Dickerson hundreds of millions of americans are at home. Most of them dont want to be. Simple choices about what to touch, where to walk and what to wear are fraught. More than 100,000 people have died worldwide, and fears of how much more those numbers could grow have stopped much of daily life. But the bills have not stopped coming, though the paychecks in some cases have. We dont know when it will end. Its a recipe for anxiety, stress, and grief which puts more of us than ever before in a struggle to stay well. The regimen of physical hygiene is wellestablished wash your hands, stay six feet away, cover your face but the rules for good Mental Hygiene are not as clear. Psychologists told us that aftef it, the worst of it may not be over. There may be Mental Health aftershocks. Its hard to predict, and living with that unpredictability is part of the challenge. What does it feel like when that phone rings . Francesca santacroce we run and we pick it up right away. And were just waiting. Just, we dont know what to expect. We dont know if theyre going to tell us good news or bad news. Were just really anxious about it. Dickerson Francesca Santacroce is describing the daily update from the hospital treating her father joseph, a covid19 patient on a ventilator. Before the coronavirus hit her home in the close residential neighborhood of staten island, new york, her father took care of the family while francesca worked in a doctors office, saving money for medical school. A 23yearold Biomolecular Sciences major, she is the first in her family to graduate college. But when we first interviewed her at the approved distance in her driveway two weeks ago, francesca was shouldering her fathers duties, cooking, cleaning and caring for her 16yearold sister, and mother, who needs fivedaysaweek of franscas sillphon after theirhr was also d s litally flke im about tatted im going to break. And im going to fall apart. But i know that i cant. I cant do that. Because i need to take care of my family right now. Dickerson youve been doing this now for a week. Santacroce yeah. Dickerson how long do you think its going to last . Santacroce we dont know. The doctors dont. We dont know. And i dont care how long it takes, as long as he comes home. Dickerson uncertainty. Anguish and hope. In the age of coronavirus, its not just francesca who is straining. The pandemic that has rocked her family has touched nearly every american life. Daniel kaplin in the last few weeks, i think, covid has dominated all my sessions. Dickerson Daniel Kaplin is president of the new York State Psychological Association and francescas therapist. He spoke to us with her permission. Everybodys racing to get back to their previous lives. But once that moment comes, what psychological effects of this do you think will linger . Kaplin i dont think the worlds
