it can be difficult to find any good news in the avalanche of warnings and shutdowns and abru abankru abrupt vanishing of what used to be normal life. in the suburb of collinsville, two kids held an impromptu cello concert on porch of a 72-year-old neighbor's. she sat on the porch at a safe distance and listened as her young neighbors, a boy and girl, siblings, 6 and 9, dressed in their best, did a performance for her. listen. ♪ >> yay. yay. bravo. bravo. >> bravo, indeed. neighbors helping neighbors. we are all in this together. the news continues. let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time."

chris. >> all right, anderson. that was beautiful. a reminder we'll end up in a better place together. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." all these headlines, trump changes tone, recognizes coronavirus. a bad situation. welcome to the pandemic, mr. president. that's all the time we need to spends on his change. let's get to the realities on the ground. we have the governor of new york with what is and is not setting that state up for success in this war. new york is a metaphor for what's going to happen in the rest of this country. the governor's foreboding message for the president, do something about capacity before our health system is incapacitated. listen, we may be forcing oe ii ourselves deeper into isolation, we should, but this effort, this war, may bring us closer together than we imagined. what do you say? let's get after it. all right. so, first it was avoid big crowds. then the cdc said 50 people.

now they're saying ten. that's the number the white house advises should be the maximum for gatherings across the country. ten is also the grade the president gives him on dealing with the coronavirus as the management. listen. >> i grade it a ten. i think we've done a great job. >> does the buck stop with you, mr. snpresident? >> normally. i think when you hear the -- this has never been done before in this country. >> no. one president, okay? one person said, i can fix it and only alone, i can fix it. maybe he gets a 10 out of 100. remember this. >> it's going to disappear. one day it's like a miracle, it will disappear. >> remember how we got here. put it to the side. and now figure out how we get to a better place. was just yesterday he said, tremendously, all under control. then he had a revelation.

i don't even want to play it. the president finally gets it. and he sees that we may be headed for recession. but he didn't give you new information. okay? this is not news that the virus isn't under control. you know this. it's not news that the economy is going to be burdened by this. you know this. it's just that our president is now where the rest of this country was two weeks ago. okay? that's okay. we all know now we are in for the long haul. >> we'll see what happens, but they think august, could be july, could be longer than that. >> he doesn't know. nobody knows because it's all about what we do now. you and i. what we do now to keep cases down. we'll talk about this throughout the show and we'll talk about it a lot over the next few weeks. and the big variable for government is one word. "capacity."

okay? this is going to be more controlled by us making smart choices than by anything else. got to flatten the curve. why? if there are too many cases, we can't handle it. if our government on the federal level and states don't build up their ability to deal with cases, we will be overwhelmed. they know it now. if you don't believe it for me, hear it from one of the many governors responding to this crisis. he just wrote an op-ped in "the new york times" on the president needing to mobilize the milit y military. you know him as the governor of new york, andrew cuomo. my big brother, of course. it's good to see you, brother. what is the reality on the ground? what is working and not working for you? >> well, the reality is exactly -- exactly what you said, chris. we have to engage this. we have to engage it fully. this is a war. it's a long-term war. this is not a few weeks.

we have to get the american people set for it. they have to get the facts. they hear so much different information. they don't know what to believe. it makes them for anxious rather than more confident. and i think the president is getting it. this has to be a national effort. there is no country that has done this that didn't make it a national effort. china, south korea, italy. it's the federal government that has to do this. you look at the national headlines today. every state doing their own thing. dig different cities doing their own thing. it's confusing. it's chaos. they don't know which way to go. the federal government should come up, step in, and say this is what we're going to do. this is what we do in schools, this is what we do in businesses. here are the rules and then the states can adjust the rules to their particular circumstances. and, second, what you said about capacity, is exactly right. they all talk about flattening

the curve. flattening the curve. i don't see a curve. i see a wave. and the wave is going to break on the health care system and i am telling you, my little brother, it is going to be a tsunami. you take any numerical projections on any of the models and our health care system has no capacity to deal with it. we in new york have 3,000 icu be beds. in case you don't understand, intensive care unit beds. >> i get it. >> we already use 60. we need multiples of that. you're talking about thousands because the people who are going to come in are the older people with the underlying illnesses, emphases emphyse emphysema, heart disease, et cetera. they need acute care. we don't have those beds. what i'm saying now is we've been behind this disease all along. let's get ahead of it.

let's get ahead of it and let's bring in the army corps of engineers and let's start building temporary medical facilities because we know we're going to need them. as many as we produce, if we started today -- >> too scary. >> -- as many as we can produce -- >> too scary. with you wrote the op-ped. i obviously read the op-ped. too scary, they say. the military, i don't want tanks, don't want guys, don't want marshal law. it's too scary. we should have enough hospitals. do it another way. >> no marshal law. the army corps of engineer builds. eyed to be in the federal government. they build bridges, build the airports. they're builders. engineers. army corps of engineers. right? look at the word, engineers. let them come in, build with me. i'll find an old dormitory, old nursing home, let's convert it to a hospital and let's do it quickly so we have backup space when the wave crashes on the health care system. >> you can't do it. you don't have the resources and

you don't have the control. it has to be the federal government. the question becomes it is no secret that the people around the president, let's take him out of the equation, they know you have capacity issues. fay ha they have not enlisted the military. what does that tell you? >> i think they have not yet fully owned this. i think they've been watching it. i think they don't understand the capacity of the federal government and what it can do, and i think they have to own it, step into it, understand this is not working. every state do your own thing. figure it out. look, in truth, i'm very proud of my state. we're new yorkers. we have that new york arrogance. i don't have the strength and capacity and resources to build thousands of hospital beds in a matter of weeks. i -- this state builds more than any state in the united states. bridges, airports, tunnels, but

we can't build thousands of hospital beds. it's a federal response. >> you say weeks, that's the window, crises. you think bad numbers are coming your way in a matter of weeks. >> yeah. i think you look at that trajectory, just go dot, dot, dot, dot, connect the dots with a pencil. you look at that arc, we're up to about 900 cases in new york. it's doubling on a weekly basis. you draw that arc, you understand we only have 53,000 hospital beds total, 3,000 icu beds, we go over the top very soon. >> what about all these social contacting? >> and that -- >> what you're asking us to do. you know, because i want to make sure people don't hear this and say, andrew, well, then i'm not going to do it, i'm going to go where i want to go then and open everything back up because you're saying i can't -- doesn't make a difference, you're going to be over capacity. what is the message to people about what they need to do to

give us the best chance of controlling this spread and giving the system a chance to deal with the worst cases? >> well, we're talking about, you know, it's also deep breath time. right? because we have all this fear, all this anxiety, i think part of it is people hear so much information, they don't know what to believe, and i think part of it is they hear some federal official say one thing then they say something else, and that -- that adds to the anxiety. this is what is going to happen. the numbers are going to go up. we're going to run out of capacity on the icu beds if we don't actually engage the army corps of engineers, et cetera. and the disease is going to affect older people, immune compromised people, people with underlying illnesses. we have seven deaths. there's a common denominator. older people, emphysema, heart

disease, cancer. it's pneumonia. when someone is sick, they get pneumonia, they say, well, pneumonia killed them. the pneumonia killed them but, by the way, they had cancer. that's what's going to happen. we're only talking about the vulnerable population, but won't to save as many of them as we can. >> what about all the economic victims of this, andrew? how do you deal with that? you know, look you're got going to get the virus, a lot of people won't get it, but you're going to have more people out of work because of this than probably at any other time since the great depression. how do you deal with that at the same time? >> yeah. two quick points. >> go on. >> one, don't give up on america. and don't give up on what america can do when she steps up full force. you bring in the army corps of engineers, you're working in partnership with the states. i was there post-9/11. that spirit, that energy, we can do anything and we'll be the better for it.

economically, the bill is going to come due. it is a big bill. and it's going to take a long period of time. you just start to add up -- because we've never done this, chris. add up all the costs. add up all the businesses closed. all the people who are going to be unemployed. the economy was teetering to begin with. they were talking about when the recession was going to start. i believe this has triggered a recession. i believe the bill and the bailout is going to be the second big federal episode here. you're going to have mortgages fo foreclosed like 2008. going to have business loans you're going to have to repay. no, no, this is a deep, deep economic hole. you'll have businesses close that never re-open, chris. and you'll have billions of dollars, not just in loss, but billions of dollars spent in getting ready for everything that we have to do. >> let me do this, gov -- >> ask me a tough question.

come soon, ask me a tough question. >> i have a few. let me do this. let me keep you a second block. i'm going to take a quick commercial. you can prepare yourself what's going to happen on the other side of the break because i want to ask you about what the eventualties are. let me take a quick break. i'm going to change this show because this is an important conversation. the governor is going to stay with us. believe me, it's harder for me than it is for anybody else, but we do have to understand, where is the federal government in terms of giving him what he just asked for? because other states are going to ask for it also. and how do you balance that with the economic pain? you know, what are our solutions and where will they come from? we'll be right on that right after this. 5g will change business in america. t-mobile has the first and only, nationwide 5g network. and with it, you can shape the future. we've invested 30 billion dollars

engineers and i'll take it from there. first of all, do you have any reason to believe that you will get that kind of assistance? >> look, you don't know -- you dent know how he's going to react and you -- and you are right, we go back and forth. look, i tell him the truth. right? and i said, by the way, a week ago, i said, the testing is a debacle and we're not testing fast enough in this country. we knew china was coming in november. why didn't we start ramping up testing? and the federal government should decentralize testing and give it to the states. i have 200 labs in this state. let me use 200 labs. why am i waiting on the fda and cdc? and the president, to his credit -- to his credit, i credit the president -- he said, you're right, and he gave new york the authority to do the testing. >> good. what about on this? >> still needs more authority to do the automated testing. sh so he heard it. now i'm saying, look, i don't have a crystal ball and it's not

that i'm making a prophecy. if you track the numbers of chi china, south korea, italy, overlay the united states, quooefr you kn you know where it's going. >> why haven't they done it -- >> it overwhelms the health care capacity. i don't know. you'd have to ask him. it's a big step. you have to know how the mobilize the federal government. you have to know how to manage the federal government. you have to get that army corps of engineers which is not that easy to move around. i worked with them when i was in washington. they're a big, huge, bureaucracy, but has a lot of power. you have to get that mobilized. it's not easy. but i think -- i think he hears it. i think he gets that this is now a national issue. i think he gets what he says matters. calm leadership matters. that you're not going to assuage the american people by just saying, don't worry, don't

worry, take two aspirin and call me in the morning. that's not going to work. they need to hear the facts. they need to hear the truth. it has to be consistent and you need the federal government to stand up and do it. >> what if they don't? >> and the mechanism is the army corps of engineers. we're not going to do it, don't think the need is there. you got a lot of facilities, you got a lot of different resources, you say it all the time, use what you have. then what? >> if they don't do it, then -- then i'm on my own, but by the way, i assumed i was on my own from day one. >> can you handle the capacity? >> this has not been an -- i cannot create enough hospital beds in time. >> so then what happens? >> with the army koerpcorps of engineers, we probably won't. we'll have a shortage of icu beds. it will be ugly. the good news is, or the moderate news is, the people who are in danger are going to be in

danger, anyway. these are going to be older people with underlying illnesses. if it wasn't the coronavirus, they would be in danger if they got a flu, chris. >> right. >> that's what people are missing in this overreaction. but we won't have the intense icu beds to take care of all the people who need it. >> more curfews -- >> that's what happens in the worst case -- >> more restrictions. shutting down the city. every day i get 500 people saying i hear it's coming, going to be a federal shtdown of the entire country. new york city is shutting down. not going to be able to go on the roads. curfews. do you have any reason to believe you need to do any of that as of now? >> look, because there's been no federal national guidance, what i did today is i joined with my neighboring states, with connecticut, governor ned lamont who's a great guy. jersey governor phil murphy who's a great guy. and we came up with a common set of rules. i believe it's the only region in the nation because you can't

do this state by state, so we said we're going to close all the bars, the movie theaters, et cetera, 8:00 tonight, everything closes. don't try to go for a drink after this show. so we came up with a common set of rules for the three states because there's been no federal leadership. it will ratchet up if the numbers don't come down. this is pure data and science. you watch those numbers. the numbers keep going up, you tighten the valve more. get less density, less density, less spread. curfew, i don't like the word, "curfew." dad tried to have a curfew for me. i never got past the resentment. but i do believe you'll see -- >> the least of your problems, by the way. your problems with the curfew. the least of your problems. >> i never -- you violated the curfew all the time. caused much pain. but that's a different story. >> i don't believe in rules. governor andrew cuomo, i appreciate you coming on the show. >> thank you. >> i love you. i'm proud of what you're doing. i know you're working hard for

your state, but no matter how you're working, there's always time to call mom. she wants to hear from you. just so you know. >> yeah. i called mom. i called mom just -- >> not what she said. >> -- before i came on the show. >> not what she said. >> by the way, she said i was her favorite. >> she never said -- >> good news, she said you are her second favorite. second favorite son, christopher. >> we both know neither of us are mom's first or second favorite in the family. i can't believe you're lying to my audience. you've blown the credibility of the entire sbrinterview. should have said it before. >> second favorite word. >> politicians are very tricky. throw a word in there -- >> not me. straight across the plate. straight across the plate. >> stay strong. stay for your people and i appreciate you being here. i love you, brother. >> you, too, brother. >> all right. so that is the chief executive of new york state. look, it is not the most sanguine perspective that this is all going to be okay, it's all going to be okay, but i don't know that you want to be hearing that from people in

look, we're in the business of trying to get you the best facts. let's be honest, there's a lot of bs out there about coronavirus. so much that the world health organization has called it an infodemic. doesn't mean the person sharing the meme or a tweet is necessarily doing something malicious. they may think they're trying to help, but when it's wrong, it

adds another fear of, you know, another layer of unknown that we don't need it. so let's bring in sanjay gupta to help sort it out. good to have you there for us. first, the numbers, june, july, 50, 10, 100. is this science that we're having thrown at us or is this about some type of common sense -- like, where are they getting this stuff from? >> you know, it's interesting, chris. the numbers are arbitrary, obviously, right, in terms of the number of people who can gather. we heard 50 yesterday. now we hear ten. there's not a real science behind this. two things really jump out at me. first of all, the goal to get people to have as much separation between them as possible. the more separation you have, the harder it is for the virus to jump from person to person. that's how you break the cycle of transmission. that's what the goal of social distancing is. the other thing that sort of struck me, chris, i think there's this idea that, you know, we don't want to shock people too much with all the things that we want to tell them

to do right away. maybe i'm wrong on this, but you heard that this a 15-day plan to try and curb the spread, but in 2 weeks from now, 15 days from now, my guess is we're going to hear from dr. fauci again who says, look, we're reassessing and we think we need to get more stringent now on these things, so maybe they should do it all upfront. that would make the most sense. i think they're trying to do this balance between public health utility of these social measures and trying to get the messaging right around this, chris. if we had said we're going to suspend the nba a month ago, i think people would have gone crazy. it made more sense probably to people at the time that it happened. >> also economic consequence. >> sure. >> the longer this goes on. then with the kids, they say let's do two weeks with the social isolation. the kids are out of school here in the new york area until, like, april 19th, 20th, saying maybe the 30th. i just think the randomness is causing people a little bit of concern, but you're giving them the right perspective on it. then we get into the mythology. okay? >> yeah. >> let me try and bundle some of these. i don't want to do one at a time

because, frankly, they don't -- zb >> so many of them. >> -- deserve it. drinking water every 15 minutes will flush the virus down. gau gargling with salt water will kill it. let's deal with those two first. any of the remediesy ies online here's how to do this, take this, and you'll stop the virus. any reason to believe any of it? >> no, i wish there were. you know? and when you don't have a lot of information, bad information tends to fill the void. there's -- i've seen these home remedies, you know, drinking the water, the gargling with garlic water. some of that can help ease the symptoms that people have, sore throat, for example, but the virus, itself, is not going to be killed by that. and that's important. i mean, this is a new virus. and i, you know, we want obviously to try and find a good therapeutic for that, but you find that any of these things, high-dose vitamin "c," high-dose garlic, you know, frequent ingesting of water, no matter the dose, doesn't really seem to have an impact on the virus. >> cardboard products, from china or anywhere else, toilet

paper, carries coronavirus more. face mask, wear a face mask because it will keep you from getting sick. those two are getting a lot of traction. >> so with the first one, i think, you know, this is a big one, obviously, a lot of products from china and they studied this trying to figure out how long does the virus live on the surface of something? and you and i talked about this, chris, there are some surfaces where the virus can live quite a long time, even up to days. it doesn't mean it's necessarily still pathogenic, able to cause disease, but if can live for days on these surfaces. porous surfaces like cardboard, not so much. then through the shipping process, it's actually a pretty fragile virus, thankfully. so it doesn't really survive -- >> good. >> -- that shipping process. i want to clarify something on masks, though, because this has been one of the most common questions we get. two types of masks. surgical mask, tie it around the back of your head. then there's the n-95 rhe 5 resr mask, fits tight on your face, has to be fitted. surgical mask not going to protect you against the virus. if you're sick, you can wear a

surgical mask to prevent you from pushing droplets out into the air. nrkt the n-95 masks, the ones health care workers wear, can help. very difficult masks to wear. i mean, i've worn these masks. you can't walk a block without getting winded. it's very challenging. and also as we've taulked abouta lot, chris, the health care workers need those right now so i would not rely on masks. if this thing is circulating in the community at some point and there's recommendation for n-95 masks, perhaps. we're not there yet. >> like you said, you want to overwhelm everybody with everything at the same time, let's leave the myths there. those are a lot online getting thousands and thousands of retweets. sanjay gupta, thank you so much. >> you dwot kboth got it. >> i don't know how you're keeping up the energy. keep it up. >> thank you, brother. >> part of the explanation, hart times make strong people. maybe that's the key. sanjay's been around a lot of this. he's so dedicated. it's made him strong. how about the rest of us? can we do it? think about the three letters

"can." i have the perfect guest to launch this new series we're going to do during this. we got to look out for americans. people who are making a difference. helping us through this. i have a crisis warrior. america's chef andres next. be d to absorb whatever is going to come its way. we're always preparing. make sure that the network is working. all the time. we are constantly looking at it, we're constantly monitoring it, take that responsibility very seriously. the most rewarding thing about the work we do is whenever we see a customer able to communicate back to their loved ones. that is why we do what we do. we're relentlessly committed to the network. so in times like this, america can stay connected to work, school, and most importantly, to each other. what's going on? it's the 3pm slump.

need to eat, closing schools creates problems, but people don't know what you know, which is so many kids go to school not just to learn but to survive and eat. and we don't know how they'll get fed now, chef. what do people need to know? >> well, they need to know that a lot of things are happening already. we have something called a school lunch program through the usda, and over -- almost two weeks ago already, the governor of california announced that even if the schools close, they will use the schools as community centers so the children can be getting that meal. that breakfast. this is happening all across here in maryland, in virginia, in san francisco. the school systems, they are going to prove to be a great way to make sure the children that come from, you know, poor neighborhoods, low-income families, will be fed in this

crisis, but we are only at the beginning, but i love at least what i see. we are putting good ideas at the service of the people. >> so, you believe this is an unprecedented emergency and you believe it's all hands on deck. you are in the restaurant business, obviously. you guys are going to get hit very hard. what do you want people to know about the toll this will take on the industry and what do you want the industry to know about how it should respond? >> listen, already restaurants are closing. i closed my restaurants. i was there today. i cannot believe 27 years after i opened my first, the restaurant is closed, but we're going to be -- we're going to be in a bad shape, but if we come together and we get help hopefully from congress, the white house, to take care more than 10% of american workers, they are restaurant people, they are food people. we need to make sure that we take care of the people that

feed america in the good times but especially now that many restaurants are being shut down. but here is what i need people to know. the food, people of america, we are going to come to help america in this difficult time. tomorrow, some of my restaurants in washington, d.c., in new york, in virginia, in maryland, we're going to be opening during four hours between 12:00 and 4:00, 12:00 and 5:00, we're going to start doing what we call community kitchens. people are not coming to the restaurants to enjoy themselves anymore. if people are in need of food, one, because they don't have money, one, because it's elderly people that they're afraid to go maybe to a supermarket crowded with people. i want to test what will be if this gets any worse to have community kitchens in actual restaurants that will come to the aid of people in need of a plate of food. restaurants should charge, but i want people to know, in my case, in my restaurants, if people have a problem, hey, we pay it forward. they can pay us later in the

future. now we need to be here for the american people, and this is used to show one of the many ways that we should be thinking in the weeks to come as this gets worse and worse, how we can be together, filling america. >> how do you -- what do you say to people to invite them to come? this is new for a lot of people, like in new york city, there are going to be a lot of families who may be struggling to figure out what to eat, they're not used to having to ask for a meal. >> so, listen, many things are happening. obviously, the private sector, wooe we'll do what we can to be part of the solution. we have, for example, the capitol food bank in washington, d.c.. i was talking to her yesterday. they're already doing boxes of food they can give to families to have much for one week at a time. every single food bank is going to be very busy in the weeks to come. it's good to have them there ready prau ready.

restaurants. ngos. big and small ones. all together we have to come together with this plan to cover all the blind spots. what's in our kitchen? we're going to be opening our own kitchens. we already worked today. we're going to be in new york, in bronx, in virginia, maryland, washington. we're going to be in oakland. remember, for the last three, four weeks, we've been fighting already coronavirus. work central kitchen team members were no yokohama feeding the cruise ship. i came back from oakland, my teams have also -- were feeding also the "princess" cruise ship right in oakland. we're going to have to be ready, work together. central kitchen is going to come up with a map at wck.org, we're going to show what we do but also going to be showing what our partners do and more important what anybody else is doing in terms of feeding. we have to have a master plan. we have to be clear who is feeding america. and as we go day to day, week to week, i hope we together can be covering any blindness spot that we may find where people need

food, work central kitchen, the people of america will be there to provide that plate of food. >> wck.org. you can go there and see where chef andres and all his partners will be. you let me know when you're going to be here in new york and you want me to see what the need is, how it's being met. i'll be there with a camera. we'll tell the story to people about how this country is coming together. as always, this is why i love you. you are a beautiful man who cares about the right things for this country. thank you for helping. >> i thank you for having me on. it's not i, the word, it's we, the people. together we can make this happen. together, we can achieve that horizon of hope that we are looking for. >> beautiful. beautiful words. and thank you, chef. so, that is the beauty of it right there. that's what american is all about. and, sure, you know, chef andres is a big shot. we're going it give you people who are doing this all over the country in their own ways,

small, discreet, but we will see the best of people in the worst of times. i guarantee it. he's the perfect way to start off this new series. now, he also gave you a huge hint about what the closing is about. we, the people. he puts the "we" before the "me." that is the biggest test before us. next. rfect wine. but i hear a different calling. the call of a schmear of cream cheese. for i, am a schmelier. i practice my craft at philadelphia. here, we use only the freshest milk... that one! go! go! and the finest ingredients... what is this? until perfection is achieved. she's ready. schmears! philadelphia. schmear perfection. t-mobile has the first and only, nationwide 5g network.

but you now know trump cannot fix this. we have to hope that he can handle it adequately. congress can't fix it, anyway, or anyone closer to home. yes, they all have very critical roles but the truth is in this war, our fate is in our own hands. i know it seems like all these restrictions on us prove we are losing the war, must be bad against the virus. the truth is the opposite. this is our blockade. this is our best defense. it's a simple logic play. if you can keep people who have the virus from spreading it, the best way to do that is what? limit interactions, right? and they who have it can get better without creating more cases. and that will help us with this capacity problem. it will give the health care system a better chance of dealing with flow, all right? then comes the biggest unknown in this situation. we can only win here if you and i are able to surrender the "me"

to the "we." that does not happen if you contest the reality out of personal convenience. we'll call that pulling a trump. he knew this was serious and only trying to grow, but he tried to play you when it started. >> and again when you have 15 people and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done. >> i don't know why he said it, but he knew it was wrong right up until yesterday. >> it's something that we have tremendous control over. >> only now is reality forcing him to stop lying. >> if you're talk about the virus, no that's not under control for anyplace in the world. >> all right. look, he spread his lies up until now looking to do what? keep his election hopes up.

you know what he's about, you know what that's about. this really is about us. we're going to have to decide what happens here and for how long we have to fight. and you know there is something ironic about what's being asked of us if you think about it. we all spend so much creating lifestyles where we never leave the couch, we text, we facetime, chat apps, online gaming. my daughter bella is a tiktok machine, and now her sister is right on her heels. their amazon prime box all over the damn place, grubhubs that deliver exotic food i've never heard about. how many bragged about countless hours days binging on limitless series that you don't even remember a month later? now you're being asked to do basically that and you're freaking out? come on, man. a generation or so ago they were

called to a war that took them to hell for years. they signed up in waves to serve. they lied about their age. they lied about their health to get a chance to make a sacrifice for this country. you are being asked to stay on the couch. like the meme says today and rosy the riveter said during world war ii, we can do it. but it's not just the practicalism, it's the potential. and you're right to be worried what's to come. for all the qualifiers who's most at risk, any of us can get it, can spread it. maybe it doesn't end, maybe not for a long time. this is heavy stuff. it scares me as a parent, and i'm worried for my kids and i'm seeing them be worried. i am having the same conversations with my family you're having with yours all over the country. we don't know many of the answers about this virus. but we do know what matters

most. i took a video at home this weekend to remember what we're living. take a little look. got to care about people, right? and that you can't be having stupid petty fights when, you know -- >> it's not the most important thing. >> that's right. and what matters most? >> family. >> family. and we say that all the time. grandma says la familia but it reminds you being together is good and remind you how precious you are. >> he was worried. he was watching the news, worried about school. i get it, we all get it. but if we can surrender the me to the we, if we stay informed and stay together by staying put we'll get through this. and i'll tell you what? we're going to know more about ourselves and the family of america than maybe ever before. jfk once put it to america in a way that matters as much today

as it did then. ask not what this country will do for you with coronavirus. ask what you can do for the country. and the good part is you already know the answer. so let's get after it. now, on that positive note i've got some great news that will hopefully uplift during the scare.
