Michigan's Two Largest Health Care Providers Say Over 2,000 Health Care Workers Test Positive
COOPER: Michigan, a hot spot for coronavirus, the state's two largest health care providers say that more than 2,000 health care workers have now tested positive. Ryan Young is in Detroit. Ryan, the White House task force predicts that the next few weeks are the deadliest. How is Michigan preparing with so many health care workers infected?</s>RYAN YOUNG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, we're getting a lot of mixed messages, Anderson. When you talk to people in the health care field, they tell you stories that would scare you. One nurse said she only gets one set of PPE for the entire day for 12 hours and doesn't want to go to the bathroom and shed the PPE. When you think about the hospital and the Beaumont Health System, they have employees who have tested positive for the coronavirus. And so you understand what the health care workers are being put under right now. But let us show you some video that was sort of just blew our mind. There were workers who basically did a walkout. They were upset there were not enough nurses to cover a shift. They were so upset they tried to make the hospital bring in more staff. When that didn't happen, some of the nurses decided to leave. Now the hospital, for its part, said that they brought in extra staff for that night and some of the ones who worked the prior shift came back and started working to help out. But you could understand the stress here, when you see ICU beds almost at capacity in the city, when you think about the state, 617 people have lost their lives. Now there's a bit of good news about all of this so far. Because you see Ford and G.M. putting their hands on the situation in terms of getting out very special parts of equipment. We'll show you video from the Ford plant. They're doing the face shields, the PPE masks basically. And they could do one mask every 10 seconds. They've made a million. And they're getting faster and faster every single day. So that means the good news is it is being spread across the entire country, in fact, being sent to Chicago and New York. So that is the good thing so far -- Anderson?</s>COOPER: Ryan Young. Ryan, thanks very much. This week, the government warned Americans not to go to the grocery store unless they have to. What are the supermarkets doing to make is safer for customers and employees? We'll have that. Plus, the coronavirus is hitting black communities harder than others.
