Hello everybody, I'm Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime. The United States now has the most coronavirus cases on earth

More than Italy now even more than China where all this started

This is a fact we can debate why this fact exists how we got here

But what matters more is that we make changes

Immediately we are not ahead of this it is not getting better like Dr. Fauci told us last night

The virus is making the time table back to normalcy is not happening anytime soon

I don't want to say that but false hope of a return to normal anytime soon is only proof of

Abnormal messaging we're not gonna do that here the need is real and so must be our determination

Our focus is on the front lines and it reveals that one nurse just lost his battle his battle against this virus

We have his sister here tonight to tell you the story of who he was and how it happened

Along with a doctor who is going to tell you about the unbelievable choices

She is now forced to make in an emergency room this problems not going away

So neither can our resolve together as ever as one let's get after it

You

82,000 cases and more important than that number is the rate it is climbing it is accelerating still

How do you reconcile that with?

Looking at where it's spreading and moving to other places at the same time and then

The president saying tonight we need to start easing restrictions that are in place

You cannot reconcile the facts and his feelings again

I apologize, but not for telling you the truth only for bursting any bubble of false help

You can't dream in false hope when we have real problems

We have more breaking developments. I want to give you the facts from our national correspondent Nick White
