with the nation's top health officials
predicting as many as 200,000 people
will die and perhaps two million if we
don't socially distance president Trump
has backed off his request that the
nation be reopened by Easter in New York
City the situation is described as dire
as hospitals are overrun and more than a
thousand people are dead
prompting a scene one would have never
imagined in New York City makeshift
morgues filled with bodies Stephen
Fabian has more so believe it or not
we're in the middle of Central Park
right now where a makeshift hospital is
being constructed with a series of tents
here this is actually the ICU tent you
take a look inside you can see all the
different beds this entire area is
specially designed to deal with
respiratory care and respiratory
patients all of these tents will serve
coronavirus patients here in New York
City the field hospital they're building
at Central Park is without question
viable it's gonna take folks and offload
some critical ill people from the area
institutions at my institution New York
Presbyterian is packed we've got people
lining hallways I mean this is this is a
war zone here in New York the US Navy is
also joining the fight against Kovan 19
in New York the epicenter of the
pandemic in America there it is the u.s.
Navy ship the Comfort arriving here to
New York City this massive vessel is a
fully functioning hospital with 1,000
beds 12 operating rooms an entire staff
and it's coming here to dock in New York
City to provide much-needed aid and
relief to the healthcare system and
how's this for irony crowds gathered to
watch that hospital ship docking in
Manhattan not much social distancing
here nor was there much social
distancing at this Sunday service at a
megachurch
in Tampa Florida the pastor was actually
arrested and charged with defying stay
at home orders now President Trump is
revealing that a good friend is

about him on Fox and Friends today they
are friends of us by one of a Musa
