But what you’re suggesting is that's not enough. Wolf: Because as you point out, the President did say he was ordering what? A thousand U S military medical personnel to New York City to help out. But if we do that quickly and if we get the military involved to coordinate it, there's a chance to really get the kind of medical personnel that New York City needs and the other places need before this crisis gets much worse. We need to mobilize and be on a war footing in this country. So many of them right now are doing good work, but they could be doing even more crucial work saving lives in New York City and then all the other places that will experience this crisis over the next few weeks. We have over a million doctors, over 3.8 million nurses. I think we need a national enlistment initiative for health care personnel to be enlisted by the federal government, brought to where the need is greatest around the country. I think the country has to mobilize fully because New York City's just the tip of the spear. That's going to help a lot, but Wolf, I think we need to go farther. That's something that I've been asking him to do now for the last week or two. We heard that announcement from the President. I am thrilled to hear we are finally getting some help from the federal government in terms of military medical personnel. The ones we have of course had been fighting now for this last month. We've lost a lot to the disease at least for a while. Also, very, very concerned about the fact we need more and more medical personnel, doctors, nurses, every kind of personnel. So it's going to be touch and go on the question of ventilators next week. We think at some point next week, we could have 5,000 people on ventilators, that's a real potential, horrible milestone we might meet. How far into the next week? We're still not sure. The additional ones from China, that'll get us into next week for sure. I'm thrilled that Governor Brown in Oregon who I spoke to a short while ago, that was an extraordinarily kind, decent thing. Mayor Bill de Blasio: Wolf, it's going to be very tight going into next week. With Governor Cuomo’s announcement that 1,000 ventilators are going to be arriving from China, another 140 from the state of Oregon, is that still the case, Mayor? You previously told CNN that New York City would run out of these essential resources as early as tomorrow. Thanks so much for joining us and let's get right to the questions. Mayor, I know you have a lot going on, we appreciate the time you're going to share with us and our viewers here in the U.S. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is joining us right now. This as the city faces a critical shortage of medical supplies including of course ventilators. Navy hospital ship has been deployed to treat non-coronavirus patients, but days after the ship's arrival, the vast majority of its beds have gone unused. A convention center, the Javits Convention Center, has been converted into a coronavirus hospital and a U.S. Wolf Blitzer: Let’s focus right now on New York City – that's the epicenter of the outbreak here in the United States where coronavirus has now killed over 3,500 people in Manhattan, as you just saw.
