People, grocery clerks and have. We took our 53,000 beds. Transport workers who are we raised it to 93,000 beds. Literally putting their bodies on the line for the sal vacation and then we created that of others, its not hard to see still isnt enough by some of these projection models, we then that charity in action. Created overflow facilities, its not hard to see people as javits, several 200bed overflow we say in the church other christs, our jesuses today on facilities and knock formica, we good friday. Thank you, father martin. As always we follow you and heed dont have to use them in the your wisdom on social media and hospitalization rate stays low. Read your writings and its very they are being used to some comforting indeed. Extent. Javits is being used to some thank you. Thank you. And coming up the next extent. I have said to the hospitals a number of times, if you need relief, we have it. Hot spot, philadelphia officials are pushing back on the white house warning they could soon but if the hospitalization rate see their hospitalization rates stays the same, we have up to a soar. Stay with us. Youre watching Andrea Mitchell reports on msnbc. 90,000bed capacity in our system, fully taxed. Up to the brim. But thats an overflow capacity we dont use if we keep this curve down. And the second wave you can answer. Go ahead. Do you want them around for a second wave . I dont want the second wave. Thats i dont want a second waf. I dont want a third wave. I dont want a 1 1 2 wave. In nearly 100 years serving the military community, i want there to be which are you looking at one, weve seen you go through tough times a second wave, and two, and every time, youve shown us, youre much tougher regarding testing, what is the your heart, courage and commitment holdup . What is the logjam right now and has always inspired us what do you want from the feds . And now its no different what happens on the testing, so, were here with financial strength, stability and experience you can depend on basically we rely on private Sector Company to do these and the online tools you need tests. Private Sector Companies would because you have always set the highest standard have to develop a test. They would have to buy, acquire and reaching that standard is what were made for the reagents to compile that 100 online car buying. Carvanas had a lot of firsts. And reaching that standard is what were made for test, whatever physical car vending machines. Equipment they need, a finger and now, putting you in control of your financing. At carvana, get personalized terms, swab, et cetera. And then package them, and they browse for cars that fit your budget, would have to have millions. Then customize your down payment and monthly payment. They would have to have millions quickly. And these arent madeup numbers. Then we have to figure out how its what youll really pay, right down to the penny. To actually take those tests whether youre shopping or just looking. Once you had millions of products. It only takes a few seconds, weve been working with labs. And it wont affect your credit score. Weve been working with finally a totally different way to finance your ride. Suppliers. That is search easier said than only from carvana. The new way to buy a car. Done. We havent found a private Sector Company that can come up to scale that quickly. They cant get the reagents. Theyre not equipped. We said a few days ago, we asked private Sector Companies to come forward, that we would invest with them to develop capacity and scale. But i dont beave it happens without a Significant Partnership with government, where government comes in and says im going to fund this, we will do it up to scale, we will form a coalition and consortium. We will put together the new York State Department of health with the new jersey departments of health. We will acquire reagents from other countries. I dont even know if you can get all of the supplies in this country. So its not an art form per se. We have the tests. There are private companies who have the tests. The art form is coming up to scale that quickly. Its the mobilization, the creation of the operation that can make millions and millions of tests. So you could use 10 million george tests in new york tomorrow. Just going back to work. By the way, i would love to see people going into a nursing home, a new normal. Before you start visiting people in a nursing home, you take a rapid test at the front door and get the results in 20 minutes before you walk in to visit someone. Health care workers, test them all. But thats millions of tests. Again, how do you make private Sector Companies do this . You dont if youre the governor. If youre the president , you have something called the defense production act that can fund and mandate actions by private Sector Companies. Again, this is the private Sector Company would get paid, god bless them. Let them make a profit at it. But we need a tremendous, the head of the white house medical task force, dr. Deborah birx, warning that philadelphia mindboggling increase in volume is an area of, quote, particular quickly. And i dont believe just waiting concern in the pandemic. For the private Sector Companies and experts do predict the city to come up to scale, youre going to see it in the time will reach its peak some time early next week. The sports arena as temple frame that you need to get it done. Youre saying millions and university in north philly being millions, how many . Converted into a temporary we have 19 Million People in the state of new york. Hospital for noncovid19 patients to take pressures off youd want to start by testing everyone, right . Hospitals. Nbcs Morgan Radford joins us you would want to test people who would be going back to work, from philadelphia. Test people going into nursing i know theres a federal homes, test Health Care Workers. Pushback from the warning. But in new york, there are 30 what are you hearing that . Thats right, its emblematic million tests you can use. For some cities as they prepare as many as you can make, you can to approach their apex are use. Thats just new york. Getting mixed messaging. Thats without new jersey. Thats without connecticut. The White House Task force said thats just the tristate area. Here in philadelphia is an then you have california. Emerging hot spot. Just think of the numbers. We have updated numbers today to doctor, do you want to speak to show there are about 6,000 cases here in the city of philadelphia what goes into making these and now about 19,000 throughout the state of pennsylvania. If you actually talk to the tests . I think as the governor mentioned, there are a lot of different reagents and chemicals to prepare the test. Local and state leaders here, they are saying they are prepared and they are ready. And good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. As they expect to approach that apex as early as next week, where youve been watching Governor Andrew Cuomo and where theyre saying they have about 40 available icu beds, 70 of President Trumps push to get people back to work as soon as the end of this month is coming their ventilators are available. Up against warnings from his own they are saying what we are seeing here is exactly what they medical advisers about creating believe is a linear, not an a new wave of covid19 cases, exponential rise in cases and their new cases are actually es fewer than 1 of the nations population being stabilizing, even though were seeing the number of deaths tested. This is an issue the governors increase. Been talking about. As you look around here, barely despite the president s claims to the contrary, giving public anyone is outside. Regardless of the messaging, Health Officials no way to track the disease and its spread. Local leaders are saying, look, the federal government can call this a hot spot if they want. Dont you need a nationwide do what they need to say to make test for the virus no, we have a great testing sure people stay inside. The temple sports arena is being system. Its the best system in the world. Do you need it . Converted into a hospital with is no. Is it nice to do . As many as 200 beds. Yes. Were talking about 325 million meanwhile the governor said he people and thats not going to will close schools here the rest happen, as you can imagine. Of the school year to make sure the president s false claim people stay inside and stay safe, andrea. About having the best testing Morgan Radford on a gusty day system in the world is based on in philadelphia and empty independence mall. A numbers but per capita, the extraordinary sight there. Thank you very much, morgan. Joining us now, democratic u. S. Is way behind most developed nations including hardhit countries like italy, congresswoman barbara lee of spain and germany. California. Moments ago as we said, governor congresswoman, thank you very much. You have been speaking out about cuomo announcing new york, the the fact the legislation that has been proposed now from the hardest hit state in the republican side does not include covid19 crisis and that trend tracking the data on the is continuing. The hospitalization rate though minority communities, the people is trending down as the death of color who are so rate goes up. More than 700 people in new york disproportionately affected by state having died as of this. Tell me what youre asking for as these negotiations continue yesterday. Cuomo said new york needs through the weekend, one hopes. Several thousand tests a week for people to go back to work thank you so much, andrea. Safely. And hes calling on the federal first let me thank you for government now to produce inviting me to be with you. Millions of tests under the and i would also like to take a federal defense production act, moment to thank our frontline something the president has not agreed to do. Workers who are doing dire work joining me now, dr. Murphy, former Surgeon General in the obama administration, and the under these circumstances. Vice dean of Johns Hopkins thank you to everyone. And what we are doing is Bloomberg School of public extremely important as to what health. Welcome both to you. Were doing now from terms of dr. Murphy, you can certainly disproportion impact in the probably empathize with whats Africanamerican Community and going on with the white house communities of color. Medical task force doctors. So what we are focusing on and i how theyre in a tug of war, want to congratulate the really, with the president , who Congressional Black Caucus and want to reopen much more Speaker Pelosi and those leading this effort to try to make sure quickly, is under a lot of pressure for the obvious the data is collected based on economic tragedy for millions race and ethnicity. And millions of americans but the medical realities, as the we know the centers for disease doctors have been saying, are control has not done that. We want that Data Collected in this could get worse if people realtime and we want it made go back too soon. Thats right, andrea. Public. If you dont have the data, how as painful as the time is when do you snow to targknow whats were being asked to really turn our lives upside down in an and how to really make sure that people do not die . Effort to reduce the peak number each and every day anywhere and of infections, it is essential we dont open up too early. Especially now were seeing in right now our foot is on the the Africanamerican Community accelerator and were seeing disproportionate deaths, which progress, thats the good news. Is a disaster, its immoral and social distancing is making an impact and slowing the spread of we have to stop it. The virus. So we have a duty and if we take our foot off the gas, responsibility as members of if we get distracted, not only congress to make sure we tell will we see a resurgence of the virus, ultimately it will be our agencies to do the right even more harmful for the thing. Congresswoman, one of the economy as well. Reasons chicago is so focused on if you care about the economy, if you care about health, you this is they do collect the have to get the timeline data, ethnic and racial data straight. There in chicago in the city and what the timeline really tells mayor lightfoot has been a real us, there are three big things sports person on this. You need to have in place before but without having this data, we you start opening up. I think the three ts, test, dont really know how many people are being affected. In dense areas such as new york trace and treat. City and other communities with right now our testing capacity, even though we made so many minorities, may be improvements, are way behind. Dyeing without us even knowing its not the number of tests but are they in the right place . About it. Is the turnaround quick . No, you dont know. Andrea, let me say this speaks thats one we have not seen a to the larger issue of systemic plan from the federal government that will determine a capacity and Structural Racism and underlying issues because it to test and quarantine in all 50 relates to conditions which are states. We traditionally left this up to still with us in terms of health the departments of state, disparities. Departments of health, but we when you look at whats called know theyre not prepared. The social determinants of we should never allow our health care, when you look at hospital physicians and health unequal education, when you look care workers to be in position they need to go in and treat at disproportion of poverty rates, when you look at the people without the protection they themselves as clinicians issue how we live and many of us need. Were not prepared from a in extended families, when you treatment perspective, the look at a lot of the capacity we need, unless these discrimination thats taking place over centuries, we have three ts are fulfilled, opening up is a dangerous proposition. Underlying conditions that give way to diabetes and heart white house officials claim disease and asthma and all of there would be 27 million tests those underlying conditions which create a pandemic upon a available by now and the numbers are well below 2 million tests pandemic in the Africanamerican Community. And so we have to, one, address administered. I think the point you made earlier, if you open up too data gathering immediately based early and we cant watch whats on race and ethnicity so we know happening, if we dont know how to target resources. Where there may be infections, but we have to encourage and resist on Rapid Response there. Because we need to make sure were just as susceptible to everyone gets tested and we need massive outbreaks as they were a to know in medically underserved month ago, two months ago. Areas we know where the hotspots we havent actually improved. Are and how to go in and test if all were doing now to control the infection is staying and make sure africanamericans in our homes, then when we leave and people of color get the kind our homes, we will have many of treatment that they need infections and we dont know right away. And weve got to understand this where theyre going so we cant react quickly. Still has to do a lot with the as we know this particular virus underlying structures of this is particularly insidious with delays. Country, which still havent its a few days before people been dealt with in terms of the get infected and people get systemic and underlying issues really sick a few days later. Of discrimination historically. So its too late to just wait for people to be showing up in can i just share this one story the hospital. With you . We have to see the test results and this didnt just start. For people to move quickly and my mother went to the hospital shut things down faster once we start reopening. To deliver me, and they wouldnt and weve got reporting at let her in the hospital because nbc news that there was in fact she was black. Intelligence, raw intelligence, she almost died. Not an assessment that would i almost didnt get here. Have gotten to the president this was because of systemic racism. So we have underlying issues necessarily, but raw intelligence from china back in november, and that the world that we have to deal with that, Health Organization was too slow. This is what andrew cuomo just unfortunately, now are being had to say about something the president has raised in his assumed in this disproportionate defense against the world Health Organization. Death and lack of treatment and lag of testing in our community. A question that i have had so weve got to step up. Weve got to make sure the from day one, and when you look federal government doesnt stop and we have to insist this back at this, where were the Administration Funds the office of Minority Health disparities. Of course, they try to cut it, horns that should have been triggered back in december and zero out the racial and ethical base of health so we have a lot of work to do. January . The immediate problem is getting where were the warning signs . This data, getting people tested who was supposed to blow the and treated and making sure the whistle . The president has asked this question, and i think hes right. The president s answer is the disproportionate numbers of world Health Organization should africanamericans are dyeing and have been blowing the whistle. Getting so sick stop. The warning signs were there. This is a pandemic essentially upon a pandemic. And those warning signs, dr. That certainly is your murphy, the world Health Organization was slow, the your story reinforces the legacy criticisms been, there was too we still have not overcome. Insulance out of china and false reporting
