CUOMO (off‐screen): The bad news isn't just bad,
the bad news is actually terrible.
Highest single day death toll yet, 779 people.
9/11 was supposed to be the darkest day in New York for a generation.
We lose 2,753 lives on 9/11.
We've lost over 7,000 lives to this crisis.
That is so shocking and painful and breathtaking.
I can't, I don't even have the words for it.

who survived the virus.
Good evening. I'm Chuck Scarborough.
NATALIE (over TV): And I'm Natalie Pasquarella.
New York and New Jersey have hit a new record single day
death toll for a second day now.
Now, new numbers from the city show that minority communities
are being hit especially the hardest,
specifically Hispanics and African‐Americans.
Now New York State now has more cases than any country in the world.
Yes, country with nearly 150,000 cases.

DOCTOR: What are we thinking for when he goes home?
NATHALIE: So that's the thing, so we have been actually sending people home on oxygen.
Right?
DOCTOR: Okay.
NATHALIE: But ideally if he is able to stay at like two, three liters.
But the thing is when he drops,
he is still symptomatic.
DOCTOR: Yeah.
NATHALIE: He needs to be our success story.
Hi, this Doctor Douge, I wanted to give you updates on
how your dad's doing.
So from an oxygenation standpoint,
his oxygen level has been 100% on the mask.
Yeah, so he's doing so well.
He's been through a lot but he's coming on the other side.

NATHALIE: It's just been a long ass day.

It's just you hear it in their voices,
but you have no sense of reassurance for these people.
I can't give that to them.
Like it's just, I'm so used to saying,
oh this is what, this is what tends to happen.
But every moment it's like you don't know,
you thought they were fine.
You called their daughter like,
oh he's relatively stable, and then you get a call like,
oh shit like he's dead.
It's like, you're always on edge you can never have a
sigh of relief and if I feel like this,
you just think of the family.
You can't see them. You can't hear them.
Like half of these people, we don't even have fucking phone chargers.
There's not even, all these people they have their phones
the shit's dead.
No one has a phone charger for them,
if you try it people don't want to get cross‐contaminated
you're so fucking isolated.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I know I'm not supposed to curse. I'm sorry.
But it's just like, what am I supposed to do?
So it's just like you just feel so helpless,
and like it's so nice, yes, people say thank you,
you're saving lives.
Before I felt like I was saving lives.
Before you felt like okay this person had a heart attack,
you give them the medicine, there's a good shot for them, but here?
It's like you got nothing.
You just hope and pray that shit doesn't happen to you.
It's just every day it's like it's so ridiculous.
It's just every day.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Every day.
