Today, they are the third highest state with Corona virus cases, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been urging the people of her state to stay at home.

She's joining us now for an update on how Michigan is coping.

Welcome to you, Governor Whitmer.

We want to begin with what you've said.

Michigan hospitals are 3 to 6 days away from running out of critical supplies.

Can you give us an update on what you need?

Yeah.

So, like states across the country were fighting to get our hands on every and 95 mask that we can every gown, every law ever.

Eventual.

Later.

We know that we are on the upswing of what's going to be a steep curve here and that are Apex is days, maybe weeks away.

And so as we're confronting them, But I already have hospitals that capacity.

We know that this incredible need is is Israel.

The fact that we've got 3 to 6 days is a huge improvement from where you know you have to stay ahead of it.

Yesterday, the Michigan Senate voted to extend your emergency declaration by 23 days.

You asked for 70 days.

How are you feeling about that extension?

You know, it's fine.

It doesn't change any of the work that we're doing.

I think I would hate to sue the Legislature, come back in the height of the crisis.

We know that we're ramping up.

We're already third in the country and we're starting our trajectory upward.

If they come back in three weeks, it could be a very great of the crisis.

And that's contrary all the medical professionals advice.

But I don't control the Legislature.

I work with them and that's their choice.

But we're going to continue the fortunate to protect the scanners.

All right, in terms of protecting Michiganders this week, your state will begin posting data on the number of people who have recovered, but and this is pretty alarming.

There are reports that say, in Michigan, African Americans represent nearly 40% of Corona virus s, but only make up 14% of the population.

How can that information help you in your fight against the virus?

Well, I think it's really important for people to know how serious this is and that this virus praise on historic and equities.

And that's a fact of what is now just true in Michigan but is true across the United States of America.

What we're seeing in Illinois and Louisiana's much Hossein were the few states that are releasing this kind of data.

But by and large, I think everyone needs to see that leaves.

The country can focus on leveling the barriers to equitable opportunities for health care, for jobs that you can raise a family on for education.

And I think that this is bringing up a mirror to Julio in United States and the real economic challenges that we have in terms of making sure that there's really equitable opportunity in this country.

No, we thank you and applaud you for your leadership during these times.

Governor Whitmore.

Thanks so much for joining us this afternoon.

Thank you, Amy.
