The White House releases models suggesting at least 100,000 Americans could die in the coronavirus pandemic.

The Fed continues to pump dollars into the economy, and partisanship continues to rear its ugly head.

So as of yesterday, this is according to Worldometers. The United States experienced nearly a thousand

deaths from coronavirus. We are now in excess of 4,000 deaths in the United States

from coronavirus. We had the biggest single-day tally of death that is not unexpected. We are

expecting those numbers to rise, presumably, according to the models every day up until April 15th,

tax day. The United States already has close to 200,000 cases that have been diagnosed in

the United States. And we are starting to see all of the emergency situations in hospitals

coming to fruition. Although we have not yet been forced to ration ventilators, the situation

in ERs, particularly in New York, is very ugly. Seth Mandel, who is the editor over the Washington Examiner magazine. He just got a note from a doctor friend in Queens says, I spent 24 of the last 36 hours in my ER. It's an absolute nightmare. I personally intubated three patients in just under an hour. We have over 400 patients admitted with coronavirus. 82 of them are on ventilators. To put things in perspective, my ER is built to have about 80 to 100 patients. We had 172 people admitted. With COVID-19, grabbed into spots, corners,

crevices, all of our ICU and step-down units together can usually handle 50 patients. We are managing

ventilators in hallways. Now, again, managing ventilators in hallways is still better than no ventilators,

but it is obviously insufficient to deal with the influx of people who are being admitted to hospitals and ERs in the New York region. In 22 years of medicine, says this doctor, I've never seen the staff look this tired, physically and emotionally drained. At least twice an hour, we hear the call overhead that somebody upstairs in cardiac arrest as acutely exacerbates our distress. people we were caring for our dead 12 hours later, 30-year-olds, 50-year-olds, 7-year-olds, nobody is spared now. At this point, it is worthy of mention. If you go into the ER, there's a good shot that, or at least a better shot, that there is something seriously wrong with you in terms of the people across the country who are getting coronavirus and then getting significant symptoms. If you're older, if you have pre-existing conditions, that's where the real risk lies. This doctor says, we're at the breaking point. We're out of space in our hospital. We're out of space in the emergency room. I was caring for a woman with an oxygen level of 64%. I had to have her sitting in a chair for an hour until I could find a stretcher. Multiple doctors in the hospital are out sick with the virus. I'm caring for patients in their homes. As long as their oxygen level is above 90%. I'm trying to keep them from going to the hospital.

So obviously, grim news out of New York. We are seeing some trend lines from places like New Orleans

that are looking fairly ugly. We're seeing some trend lines from Florida that are looking fairly

ugly. The trend lines in places like Los Angeles are not nearly as ugly yet.

In San Francisco, the trend lines have evened out to a significant extent. The social distancing is working, those measures that have been put in place. We are seeing the sort of contrasting data

you would expect to see. Highly populated areas that took a little longer to lock down are
