New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy: “I think the flattening of the curve, the social distancing, telling everybody just stay home gives us a real shot to keep the numbers down, to keep the pressure lesser than it otherwise would be on our health care system.”

In an interview with ABC"This Week" Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz, Murphy urged people to take the crisis seriously in order to decrease the pressure on the"My view is we die trying," Murphy said,"I think the flattening of the curve, the social distancing, telling everybody ‘just stay home' gives us a real shot to keep the numbers down to keep the pressure lesser than otherwise would be on our health care system.

"We are in desperate for more PPE," Murphy said."We've had a big ask into the strategic stockpile on the White House -- they've given us a fraction of our ask."Murphy also warned that the spread of the virus would put a staggering economic cost not only on his state, but also on those in the surrounding region.

MichiganGov you are right!

I remember right when I visited up there she got there by blaming others and she still blaming others

Called the Senate. Governor’s have responsibilities, and when they that pass on. Wouldn’t soul your reputation.

These hospitals are privately owned corps. It would be huge overreach for gov to have required them to stock up in case of potential pandemic. Each of these hosp had responsibility to make sure they have adequate supplies for emergencies. What did dems in congress and media

So Governor besides bitching , moaning and complaining what have you done to procure the supplies you need? Bitching , moaning , complaining and finger pointing is not a strategy.

It is every states leaders responsibility to make sure their states are ready for any crisis. The local government should take responsibility for the failures. Look within your state for resources. Quit playing the blame game and work on uniting the American people to get through

I love her so much. Oh my god. She is doing such an amazing job in Michigan. She is making such hard decisions but making sure everyone is cared for like pushing unemployment resources through for people who are temporarily laid off.

Your the Governor, take some responsibility!

Michigan lives are being lost because GovWhitmer refuses to act.

We’ll call your dem colleagues and tell them to vote for the damn bill!!!

Everybody bitches and complains BUT never had a solution themselves

Really, how dumb can she be.

Due to our lack of a president

This wretch whimper should hide for her incompetency instead of blaming President and WH

China is telling some lies that will change history

Check with Chuck

Of course the dumbcrats vote against the bill, hurting the American people. Trump will still be your president in 2020 so just stop the crap.

As Governor, you should do something for your state before reach out to federal. Blame someone else when you and administrators people of your state did not do anything for your people. Democrab behavior

That analysis doesnt need to happen now. That's for later politics. We've more important things to deal with. Maybe Whitmer doesnt realize this. Sad for Michigan.

Pelosi -Schumer... failure

Gov you knew since January and didn’t follow through. You believed the republicans in the White House and now you have Americans blood in your hands. When you took office you seared to protect the people.

After this thing is defeated

False claims

Meanwhile States placing specific request are reaching Approval and fulfillment.😮 Process - try it.

Everyone needs to stop blaming everyone. Let’s just get things where they need to be so we can start living normal again.

Failures come from top to bottom. Everyone that has a seat at that table in DC is to blame. State officials who squandered tax dollars. To city managers who want to get elected and act like fat cats. While the peasants of your counties are dying waiting for tests.

That's bull hunkie!

Or let's just focus on moving forward & on what's working, where the successes are & the lives that were saved because of them. Let's focus on what we did right for next time-there will be a next time. You have a real opportunity to change the trajectory here. I suggest using it.

You wanna take his sword then go tell him to slay the dragon to protect your ass/sabotage chicken LITTLES

Democrats = Deflecting

ABC White House correspondents have done more to damage LameStreamMedia credibility than any other factor Attempting to label POTUS 'racist backfired Press are exposed as political activist, and the country notices its game Start doing your job. Leave politics out of your job

You fools on this thread that think the states would handle a pandemic are clueless. Keep thinking the bonehead in the WH has it under control. And to think the virus is contained in more or less states must be relying on their infectious disease research.

That woman is a weirdo. I’m sorry. But Michigan can do better than that creep.

The PRC's lack of initially acknowledging the virus? Or, 'Ground zero gaming.'

Your fearless leader didn't take it seriously. 🙏🇨🇦💪

I think this situation was new for everyone and you are all wasting time trying to find people to blame it on. Just make a pact to work together. The American people are tired of the blame games and constant political turmoil. Become one under God and just move forward!

It’s not the government’s responsibility to run your healthcare. Say it again. You’re in charge. The buck stops with you.

One failure will be is not ordering a 'Shelter In Place' on time, seeing it's 1035 active cases and NINE deaths while your letting community spread Fester! Real Smart!

Blame the federal government for everything, omg. Martha Raddatz has fear and anxiety in her voice everytime she speaks. I couldn't listen anymore this morning when she was interviewing the Fema guy

Can't have a war on two fronts. Focus on the people, that's your job

She can't even provide clean water to people in Flint , Michigan!! Nor stop religious gatherings in here state!! She is pure garbage 🤮🤮🤮

Until we can get this stimulus package passed, we're stuck. Right now, I am just frustrated with Congress. The administration is making all the concessions it can, but Congress is bickering over talking points.

A lot of people well be lost if she’s shut down the state

ALMOREIRA8773

The failures are in Michigan, not Washington. We take care of our own, shut down the state. Waiting for tests doesn't matter at this point we have more cases than Ohio and Illinois combined. COVIDー19

Are the roads in Michigan fixed yet?

Why did Martha Raddatz not press the governor on why she has not done more? Whitmer has been a massive failure so far in responding to this crisis - she chooses to go on national TV to bash Trump, rather than actually lead. She's done two press conferences...both lame.

You are governor. Govern your state and make decisions for your state like other states are. Quit trying to blame the federal government for not doing your job for you.

Wanna know where the failure was?

True_Attendant Good for you, governor!!!

These people should first get their heads straight and their failures. The resources are given and they have no clue just like all of them brainwashed people? This is a time to work together. I guess individual weaknesses are mirrored in 3D at this time?

Gov is still playing political & that’s not fair! Take note from NY & and work w/President. Do your job and set the stones down. Take care of us & your medical staff in MI!

Any blame for fatalities in Michigan belongs to you GovWhitmer if you’re going to play the blame game. You have done nothing but follow, any action you took was taken by other governors, you’re a copycat. Your inability to lead is obvious by your blame game

The idiot with the orange hair has been our biggest obstacle

Governor, ask yourself if we would have beennpr4pared for this under any previous administration? If we were prepared for this under Obama why are there shortages now....the materials still should have been stockpiled

Meanwhile Flint is still a shithole she hasnt fixed

Divisive Democrats!

B52Malmet Many lives are going to be lost because america wasn’t prepared. The buck stops at trump, the most ignorant, arrogant man on the Planet.

GovWhitmer instead of talking about how you will play the blame game for not being prepared for this novel virus, what did YOU do to prepare your state? You weren’t inert. You will have to accept blame as well. It isn’t all the Feds or Trump’s responsibility

B52Malmet Memo to press. At the pressers ask questions only of Fauci. Not the liar

B52Malmet LOCK MI DOWN, NOW!!! lockdown michiganlockdown LOCK US DOWN, NOW🆘🆘🆘Thank You.

B52Malmet Everyone in this administration needs to be hauled in front of congress and forced to testify why the TrumpPandemicFailure happened with NO ExecutivePrivilege

B52Malmet What’s the over/under on weeks before Trump skates off to a golf course? 4 weeks?

B52Malmet We need to know every failure by November 3rd.

B52Malmet She betta fight!

And Raditz, haha

So many want to forget how consumed Washington was with a partisan impeachment. Nobody could see, think, or talk about anything else.

Aren’t those - ‘fighting words’?!

I thought dems were not gonna politicize this, they just hate America

VP?

Isn't this the state that couldn't even deliver clean water for its residents a short while back? You really wanna talk about failures? Flintcrisis

This is the kind of nonsensical doom & gloom & political positioning that creates fear & panic. Having lived in China/HK during SARS, with 2k people working for me we managed the crisis & kept business operating. This is a force majeure moment, thank God for POTUS.

We should have closed the borders in January.

Let's just get through this first. Then the experts...NOT you can analyze the data.

BarronMcCaskill and as I was saying... lol

MarthaRaddatz So why haven’t you posted next interviews which say testing is pulling resources away from treatment and PPE?

The Fox Sunday News w/Chris Wallace forcing Whitmer to answer questions was fantastic. Facts, stating what other governors have did and are doing that she has NOT. She smiles before every lie she tells, and when someone restates a question. Not every news anchor is manipulable .

Lets talk to real governors who have helped the process and are working to make things better. Not this fear monger

GovWhitmer This is uncharted territory for America. Of course there were mistakes, but we’re fighting an enemy we can’t see. Are you going to blame America next for not seeing Pearl Harbor? Just shut up ya partisan hack!

Held China accountable. That was their fault. Stop depending on them for medicine , masks ect.

Didn't this public comment just start a fight? Doesn't she have more important things to do than to be on national television complaining? I wish they all would stop the bickering, and find solutions. After action reports are for blame. Now solutions and cooperation are needed

Telling People to stay in and not go out side is not helping anyone. People in group,s in a small space with an Infected pathogen is a recipe for transference and epidemia. Fresh Air and exercise and wearing face mask,s and body sanitation will help more than 'panic ' and Blame..

It’s time to do just that.

Shut Michigan down!!!

No country on the planet prepared!!! Uncharted territory.

Now we all are learning the difference between need and greed.

Michigan governor shuts down bars and restaurants, promises unemployment but then unemployment rejects our applications because we make less per hour. UMich MSU GVSU china coronavirus THANKYOU realDonaldTrump for actually STEPPING up for USA TY

Maybe it’s because the Democrats wasted so much money and time trying to impeach. Or, maybe when Trump was ordering travel ban from a China the Democrats were to busy calling him a xenophobic racist. Get a grip, you are the idiots to blame. Trump is doing a great job!!!!!

Lives will be lost because you wont enforce Marshal Law! We have to many elderly people in th U.P..It is spreading like Wuhan! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYE'S BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

Michigan is not blameless. Total lack of emergency preparation on their part.

You are ridiculous

Is that Jaime Gertz or Jennifer Tilly?

This is one of the worst news reporters I’ve seen you are a complete bitch asking the same question over and over fix the problem not the blame

Thank you Kathleen Blanco

MarthaRaddatz You only need to test the sick people like the elderly or someone with an existing medical condition.

MarthaRaddatz In the fed news briefing they talked about masks etc and the you need to put a call into FEMA and they will send you your request.

GovWhitmer ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaDidThis ChinaMustPay

What are you doing to prevent the spread of COVID-21?

Hahahaha... the left’s stupidity to twist the facts! This is why no one believes the media...

abc cant stop the trump bashing bc their bosses wont allow it. No real journalists at that shithole!

Anyone thinking that Trump’s response to this crisis is anything short of gross negligence is a fool. Yet you can’t say that bc it might hurt his shallow ego. Thanks, MAGAts, for putting this man in power; leave the voting to the adults next time.

Obama had 3 years and 750 million and couldn't even build a fucking website. We'll take Trump. You are welcome.

PUT THE BLAME ON THE COMMUNIST PARTY!!!

We can’t count on Trump or the White House for any help.

MarthaRaddatz So is she doing anything to help or is she just complaining?

MarthaRaddatz I’m not understanding why her state should get more. We’re all in this together. People who have the symptoms get tested. It’s not because you’d like one. Have you even listened to the daily updates or visited the CDC website? That’s very irresponsible.
