First, we heard there would be a 1,000,000 tests for Corona virus than a promise of four million. So tonight, where does that stand? A reality check and at least two emergency room doctors we learned of tonight on the front lines of the outbreak from New Jersey to Washington state. Now testing Positive Maur drive through testing sites are popping up like this one in San Antonio. But medical professionals tonight we're hearing from say they lack the protective equipment, like what you see in Denver there that they say they need to have to stay safe. And the threat to so many on the front lines the health care workers, the first responders because many who have the virus have no symptoms. As we've learned, here's our chief national correspondent. Backup in Tonight. Tonight, America's hospitals and health care workers under siege. Emergency room Doctor James Prudent testing positive for Corona virus. The seven year old is now in isolation in Paterson, New Jersey, and tonight at the Life Care Center in King County, Washington. 46 employees testing positive. In another nursing home in the same town where 15 people have died, a doctor in his forties is infected. Over 43 people have died in King County alone. Hospitals around the country now reporting both a spike in incoming patients and a shortage of critical protective equipment also crucial to protecting themselves. Hospitals scrambling to prepare for the onslaught Setting up tents outside emergency rooms. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo calling on President Trump to mobilize the military to build more hospitals. You overwhelm the hospitals. You have people on gurneys in hallways. That is what is going to happen now if we do nothing. Another critical matter. Testing people lining up in cars for drive throughs. Vice President Pence repeatedly saying Maur tests will be available by the weekend. Another 1,000,000 tests will be shipped around the country. The expectation that the end of next week four million tests will be sure. But it's not as simple as just sending out the tests. The health care workers need to be in full protective gear a number of states now, saying they're concerned about a shortage of protective gear to keep clinician safe. This is something we're very concerned about. Testing. Numbers are also lagging. New York has conducted roughly 7000 since the outbreak. Public labs in North Carolina, however, have only done about 300. And in South Korea, where the number of cases have flattened, 275,000 tests have been conducted now, even creating phone booth type sites. Donovan Mitchell is an N B A player with the Utah Jazz. He's in isolation after becoming infected and his case highlighting the need for more testing. You know I don't have any symptoms. That's the scariest part about this virus. Is that you know, you may seem fine. Be fine and you never know who you may be talking to, who they're going home to, even those who do get tested or having problems. Amanda Foma Chan says her husband Tito's first test got lost, and they then had to complain to their governor before getting a second test, which was positive. We still don't have the original test results that were sent out from Thursday, which is absolutely mind boggling to me. These tires have got to be prioritized based on severity and acuity of these cases. Something is very, very wrong. I understand that everyone's learning as they go with this, but people that are in critical condition need those test results. You know quickly, they don't have time to wait. He's now in a Virginia. I see you in critical condition. We need to get those tests and the results back quicker than what we're seeing so far in this country. Matt Gutman live from Cedar Sinai Hospital tonight and Matt, we can see those triage tents that you told us about right behind you tonight for testing patients. But you're hearing that there's now confusion with all these private labs involved. Process. So money had new hope that they were being brought in, and certainly that's a good sign. But then obvious King's ahead here. That's right. Labs Air saying that people are calling in thinking that they can get tested at the labs they cannot. The labs are there specifically just to run the results and get the results for a particular swab. The swabs were taken by medical professionals at clinics and hospitals. Emergency rooms like the ones behind me and not everyone. David can get tested right now. It's really just health care workers, first responders and the people who are most vulnerable coming with acute symptoms. David Matt Gutman, Our thanks to you again this evening. Hi, everyone.
