special town hall tomorrow, dr. sanjay gupta and erika hill but also "sesame street." erika and sanjay and big bird, 9:00 a.m. join them. "ac-360" begins right now. states beginning to reopen despite doctors and scientists warning them not to. death toll passed 59,000 in this country, would have been a good day to ask questions to the top is scientists and to our leaders, might expect on momentous day like this. that is not what happened this evening at coronavirus task force briefing. were not allowed to ask questions to dr. fauci and dr. birx, who were not there because president of the united states was afraid to take questions today during the briefing. he took questions earlier today and lied in such an obvious and

blatant way he knew he would be called on it this evening so he cut and ran. president of the united states did not answer a single question and dr. s fauci and birx were not there. few prepared remarks, handed over and they all left. stunning in life and lives of this administration, dangerous and disturbing debacle of the president's own making. began last night, musing out loud to dr. deb before birx and using ultraviolet light internally to kill coronavirus and injecting disinfectants into humans to kill the virus. bleach, sanitizer, lysol, kill on surfaces but should never

been injected or swallowed as just about everybody knows. here's what the president said, not taken out of context, but words to dhs official bill brian, who is seated to his right off camera. >> a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you're totally into that world which i find to be very interesting. supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether ultraviolet or very powerful light and i think you said that has -- you're going to test it. supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do, through the skin or in some other way. and think you said you're going to test that too. sounds interesting. and then i see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, one minute. and is there a we we can do something like that by injection

inside or almost a cleaning. gets in the lungs and does a tremendous number of -- be interesting to check that. going to have to use medical doctors but sounds interesting to me. >> sounds interesting he said, this notion of cleaning out of lungs by injecting disinfectant. interesting to him, almost goes without saying, is toxic to people. we say almost because the company that makes lysol was sufficiently troubled by musings to put out a statement inproper use of disinfectants. we must be clear under no circumstances should these products be administered to the human body. centers for disease control also tweeted. household cleaners and disinfect arou ants can cause health problems

when not used properly. understatement. clearer but more cartoonish. tweeting now, cleaning products are poisonous america, keep them locked up and out of reach of kids. quinn the quarantine fox by the way. absurd as it is to imagine a government spokesfox having to remind the president of the obvious, there's nothing funny about this. words, especially the president's words, have serious consequences. maryland's agency had to announce warning against drinking or injecting disinfectants after the hotline received more than 100 calls asking about it. doctors have weighed in against it, including on our town hall last night. it's ridiculous and dangerous as any parent told their child and deeply inappropriate for any president to muse out loud about

whatever thought he has about random experiments on human beings. this morning instead of acknowledging that misstatement kailee mcnany said leave it to the media to irresponsibly take president trump out of context and run with negative headlines. avoiding the bleach injected elephant in the news. president said what he heard him say, you saw him say it, heard it with your own ears. after undersecretary brian gave his talk on what kills coronavirus on surfaces, in the air, not inside the human body. that's it. in the white house transcript, but the time the president went before cameras today he knew people were outraged and also alaughing at him.

this president can't stand that, hurts him more than anything. today came up with different explanation than the spokesperson, blatant, bald-faced lie. >> could you clarify your comments about injections of disinfectant -- >> i was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen, and asking a question of the gentleman there yesterday, bill. but say something will last four or six hours but sun out and use disinfectant, it's there less than a minute. i was asking a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. >> number one, as you saw with your own eyes, he was not talking to reporters, he was talking to his scientist, and there's was not an ounce of

sarcasm. he was serious, he thought he was being smart. pointed to his brain about how smart else. dhs official didn't think it was sarcastic. off-camera, department of homeland security official with president telling him about idea of bringing uv light inside somebody's body to kill viruses and injecting them with disinfectant, idea of medical experimentation on humans, listen to what the dhs official said. >> then i said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do through the skin or in some other way and think you said you're going to test that too. sounds interesting. >> we'll get to the right folks who could, he said. in other words, yes, mr. president, we'll get right on that.

who are the right folks who could use -- somehow get light inside your body to destroy viruses? who are the right folks in the government of the united states who would inject disinfectants like bleach and stuff into human beings? who are those right folks? task force coordinator deborah birx reacted, i'll drop the banner at bottom of the screen. >> supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, ultraviolet or very powerful light, and i think you said as objective you're going to test it. supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do, either through the skin or in some other way. and i think you said you're going to test that too, sounds interesting. then i see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, is there a way to do something like

that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and does a tremendous number. be interesting to check that, going to have to use medical doctors but sounds interesting to me. >> i mean he's nodding his head less than he was on the uv light thing but head nods on the injecting people. he was nodding the head a little bit. does deborah birx, looking down at her hands, not making eye contact, saying anything, does that look like face on someone in on supposed sarcastic remark, joke or like a well-respected scientist who is horrified and embarrassed? doesn't want to contradict the president or be irresponsible either. president likes to use the words

strong and powerful, hoping they'll become synonymous with him, but what exactly is strong and powerful about suggesting dumb and dangerous experiments on human beings, then slinking away from answering questions or taking any responsibility for what you've said and lying about it? chief white house correspondent joins us now. i know why the president didn't take questions this evening. the new spokesperson, over the top in her soviet-like praise or rewriting of history on things would say one thing, then the president -- they clearly didn't coordinate their lies. >> reporter: they didn't, anderson. we found out today that the president's words have meaning but also at times hazardous to your health. that was part of what we learned

today. going to your point, anderson, just isn't enough disinfectant at the white house to wash away what the president did and the lies that were told to cover it up. one of the reasons he cut short that believing earlier this evening my sources tell me is president was upset about the flak he was taking over his comments that people could use disinfectants to kill the coronavirus inside their bodies. goes beyond that. talking to sources inside the white house this evening, telling us there's a discussion going on about paring down the briefings, making better use of them because feel like the president is getting diminishing returns. just to show you the soviet style totalitarian lengths they were going to this evening, they were trying to rearrange the seats in the briefing room so our colleague kaitlan collins

would be in back and another moved to the front. chris johnson thank goodness for him refused to get out of his seat. took almost an act of civil disobedience to foil their plans. white house official was saying ye we're going to get the secret service involved if you don't change the seats. >> kaitlan collins is suddenly a security risk that secret service would be involved. good use of their services. >> reporter: remarkable. and dr. fauci and dr. birx were not there this evening. we've been talking to sources about this, but the scientists on the president's coronavirus task force are leery of publicly disagreeing with the president, don't want to stand behind him

with facial expressions showing reaction to what he's saying. it's no wonder they're talking about cutting back on the briefings. can see with their own eyes what the american people can see at home, the president imploding from time on time, riffing and lying about thinks. disinfectants that could be hazardous to people's health. >> history of the briefings started with vice president and scientists and constantly said at direction of the president and constantly bow and bring the president -- reference him in some sentences. then the president saw the growing popularity of the scientists and briefings, so bigfooted his way in, became the centerpiece. now talking about limiting them because they think it's diminishing returns for the president -- how about just liberating the scientists to

actually just discuss real, raw, factual information. and even the vice president, with the american people without the side show and let the president have his own briefing if he wants to or white house daily briefing like most white houses would. >> reporter: there's no question that the president has turned the coronavirus briefings which started as way to get american people information about the pandemic, turned them into his pandemic rallies. no question there is a public health risk in all of this. talking to source close to the task force this evening compared it to recommending that people drink bleach at home. by the way, we've said this a million times since the president made his comments. people should not use household chemicals in that fashion. but what bizarro, twilig"twilig

zone" world are we in we have to say this about the president of the united states? bring in dr. sanjay gupta and dana bash. president making claim on camera yesterday, then saying he was being sarcastic, just lying about it. it's not surprising i guess, but it is deeply troubling. i don't know how many adjectives you can use. >> that's right. and you always wonder, given the president's propensity for this kind of showmanship -- i mean the briefings -- whether or not when he gets criticism it sinks in. i talked to a source, ally of the president just before coming on who said, you bet it's sinking it. that was obvious as you mentioned when he stormed out of the press conference without answering questions. >> sinking in where, what?

how thin does it sink? >> first of all, great question, who knows. in the here and now what happens this evening with the press conference, that's why he didn't take the answers. and source described him like a child who touches the stove and realizes you're going to get burned, don't go near the stove for a couple of days. question is how long is he going to stay away. from the patterns we've talked about that we've seen with the president there is concern among some of his allies he might at least bring up a distraction. that's another part of the trump playbook, something is going terribly wrong for him, he says look at this red ball over here. >> going to ban all immigration. >> exactly. >> there is concern among some he might play that and that's the last thing people around him want him to do given the obvious

intensity and scary situation we're in of this pandemic. >> sanjay, the fact that the cdc had to put out guidance about the proper use of disinfectants, again from medical standpoint, this is dangerous. >> we're one of the top countries in the world when it comes to basic science research, anderson. some of the people in that room, ambassador birx, anthony fauci, stephen hahn, head of the m.d. anderson cancer center, one of the most renowned in the world. and this is what we're talking about. it is a shame. i can't even believe it, all these folks have more important stuff to be doing in midst of a pandemic. entire world is pinning their hopes on what these scientists are able to do in terms of therapeutics, vaccines, figure out how to best test and contact

trace, all the things we should be talking about and they got sidetracked by this whole thing. shocking. reminded of the term reality distortion field. when you were playing that clip of president trump talking to dhs official, respond that way why? is there a reality distortion that goes on in that room? i don't know. everybody knows it was a bad idea to be suggesting that disinfectant be injected or ingested yet they didn't seem to respond that way. it's a waste of time is what it is. >> jim, i remember james comey wrote in his book about the dinner he had with the president before he was fired, and he writes about -- memory, i read it long time ago -- concern about does he nod, if he's nodding -- or if he remains silent does the president view

that ackweesence? people around the president have to think about, do you say silent, then coopted? that's something the scientists have to figure out every single day. >> reporter: that's one of the sad lessons we've seen throughout the trump presidency, as he attacks different segments of american society, president, justice, intelligence community, now going after the scientists, who are the people that speak out, say no this will not stand. talking to our sources there is a concern among the scientists if they speak out against the president they'll be thrown out of the ball game and you lose that expertise, american people lose that expertise, that's obviously what some of these scientists are thinking if they disagree with the president publicly may get tossed off the task force and then what happens to the task force. no question, what we saw end of

this week was turning 2020 into a sequel of "1984," defies creditulity. i talked to a trump adviser who said earlier today i wanted to high. even people inside the president's own orbit understand how badly he messed it up. >> comey saying something about lies washing over you. his term. thank you very much. breaking news, aircraft carrier captain relieved of command after blowing whistle about coronavirus on his ship, navy talking about reinstating him. then love letter to wife and family before the coronavirus took him far too soon.

[ cheers and applause ] >> fired after warning of coronavirus outbreak spreading throughout the ship. 856 sailors have tested positive as of today. navy secretary who swung the ax was subsequently fired after calling the captain naive or stupid, now the navy is

recommending he be reinstated at the helm. what is the status tonight? >> earlier today the head of the u.s. navy, four star admiral recommended to the secretary that he be reinstated to the "theodore roosevelt" but epser did not accept it just yet. saying he wants to read the whole investigation report and make sure it's thorough and comprehensive and decide whether or not to accept the recommendation. that was not the way the day started out. at pentagon word was out it would be made and esperwas going

to accept it. >> any sense what the calculus for secretary esper will be? >> it will be a test of whether or not he has confidence in the navy leadership and is willing to accept their recommendation after they investigated it. one of the big unknowns is whether there is any white house calculus in this. is it that secretary esper wants to run it past the white house? we've seen president trump get involved in matters before. >> sailors, do we have the latest on their condition? >> sadly one did pass away from the virus. captain kroe captain crozier himself tested positive but he's no longer in isolation in guam. it's interesting, pentagon and

the centers for disease control have a medical investigation going on trying to figure out how the virus spread so widely through that ship, more than 800 sailors testing positive, really the biggest outbreak the u.s. military has seen so far, asking for help from the cdc and trying to figure out exactly what transpired. >> barbara starr, appreciate it. joining us now, brett odum. you've been in touch with captain crozier, can you talk about his reaction to all this? >> and i should make clear i'm not speaking for him, he is clearly not speaking to the media. i'm comfortable talking about his general attitude and where he is. >> fair enough. >> there's been a few of us close friends with a chat group and kept in touch. throughout this his entire attitude has been he did the best he could, stood by his

decision and kept his sense of humor and has taken everything in stride. i think he was -- my sense to his reaction, he was deeply humbled. and deeply grateful for the navy, way they've handled this, from what i gathered in our conversations, everything's been incredibly professional, navy has done incredibly good job of taking care of him and his family. i think his attitude is that -- obviously i expect he's probably glad to be vindicated by the recommendation of the cno. and excited at opportunity to lead sailors if it comes to pass. >> i'm also guessing he's incredibly concerned about 800 people aboard that ship, more than, coming down with the virus. i'm sure he continues to be concerned about them. he's been in quarantine. do you know is he able to -- i

guess he's able to get updates about them, i would assume. >> you know, i know he's talked to a lot of folks, we have classmates on guam who have kept in touch with him. i'm sure he's in connection with folks in the navy. he said he's had a lot of phone calls. we didn't get into the details but any skipper, commanding officer, of brett's caliber would be deeply concerned about the crew, i know they're first and foremost in his thoughts. >> you say what you can say, but is he hopeful to retake command of the "uss roosevelt"? well like you said, i think the news today, i gather he did not have any forewarning. i sent him a link and spoke to him shortly after. my sense is that he's humbled,

excited if the opportunity comes to pass. put 32 years of his adult life into the naval service, calling, vocation, if he has opportunity to lead greatest sailors on the planet i think he would be happy and grateful to do that again. >> you're a navy man yourself. what do you think the lesson in all this is? is there a lesson in this? >> we've talked about this being a leadership case in the academy. i have no doubt it will be taught, no inside information, just looking from the outside. i think it's a situation, you had a fast-moving virus, asymptomatic carriers and long incubation period.

and peer reviewed article he quoted in his memorandum it's nearly impossible to contain this in that situation. you could get to point in cold analysis where everybody did the right thing, maybe there's a breakdown of communication. i think he's comfortable with the decision he made. >> brett odom, appreciate your thoughts on this. thanks so much. >> happy to do it. take care, anderson. you take care. ahead latest on the treatments for coronavirus. sanjay gupta when we continue. to match donors with patients faster than ever, saving lives like max's. me and dylan are dna twins. ♪ ♪ dylan's like my brother. ♪ ♪

it's global death toll from pandemic continues to rise. 196,000 people are dead. world health organization is launching a new program to accelerate the development of the vaccines and therapeutics in development. sanjay. >> did you ever worry about the side effects? >> yes but potential risks are outweighed by potential benefits. >> reporter: within sean doyle's body, his blood, may lie a path for a vaccine to covid-19. less than one month after the novel coronavirus' genome was sequenced, vaccine trials began. there are at least six under way, including this at emory university, part of the national institute of health cynical

tries. sean is one of 45 people in atlanta and seattle part of the first phase of the study. testing it for safety. >> reporter: i think if you were my son and you came to me wanting to do this, what would i tell you? did you have a conversation with parents or anybody else? >> yes, there were conversations i had with friends and family. they trusted my judge. i gave blood samples to be used as baseline for assessing my health after getting the vaccine and baseline to determine whether or not there was immune response my body was able to generate in response to getting the vaccine later. >> reporter: if it's successful could not only get the world back to normal but be a game changer for vaccines because of its technology, instead of using actual virus or inactivated form

of the virus, this vaccine relies on m-rna, messenger rna. key to unlocking the door into our cells. once our body recognizes that, immune system should be primed to create antibodies. if it works, potentially safer and faster path, shortening the development process from decades to years or months. >> getting it into phase one in matter of months is quicker than anybody has ever done in the history of vaccinology. >> reporter: speed is only one consideration, it is a new technology. >> it's possible there is no actual production of antibodies in which because either the m-rna didn't get into the cells and cells didn't make the proteins or the immune system

didn't recognize those proteins or the dose is too low. >> reporter: dr. evan anderson is the lead investigator at emory university. >> there is a theoretical possibility you could see enhanced immune response. >> sensitization, meaning the body would overreact next time exposed to coronavirus, causing storm. plus anything new can have unknowns or risks. >> pain or tenderness at site of injection, nausea, sometimes develop fever. severe reactions, anaphylaxis allergic reaction. only in 1 of 4 million people. >> reporter: once you've studied it.

you were being studied at that point. >> for that particular vaccine, no one knew at the time. >> reporter: sean gets two doses of the vaccine, second this past week, followed up with check-ins and blood draws to measure potential changes to system through the year. >> felt like a flu shot. after tenderness subsided, felt totally fine afterward. >> dr. sanjay gupta joins us now, and michael osterham from university of minutes. what are the challenges in doing this faster than ever before? >> big one, don't know if it's going to work. instead of using virus or inactive virus they're using a blueprint of a portion of the virus and trying to teach the body to make antibodies.

would be great. if it works, would be faster. part of the reason they can move as fasts this they did, gained some knowledge because of previous attempts with sars and mers, didn't have to make those vaccines, helped accelerate the process. is it going to work, is it going to be safe? should be safe but obviously that's why you do the trials. >> michael, idea of having vaccine in 18 months, how difficult will that be to achieve? it's harder i think for people like me, who don't really understand, know much about the process to think well is it just people work harder and that's what makes it go in 18 months? >> it's kind of like the iowa farmer that wants to harvest in half the time and thinks he can plant twice as many acres. doesn't work that way. safety is going to be a big issue in terms of the acute

antibody enhancement we talked about, sensitization piece, going to take many thousands of people to study. we haven't factored in once you do get a vaccine that's safe and efr effective, you have to manufacture it. everyone in the world will want it. you have to distribute and administer it. we've up against the clock in the pandemic, next 18 months critical. what we have to accomplish has to be done in that time. sanjay has laid out the potential but i hope it's in time. >> is it possible there won't be a vaccine? >> yes. i know people hear that and

are -- hiv/aids, hepatitis c. even i don't think we have one, suffered from problems of sensitization, next time you get infected it was worse, not better from that. yes, it is possible. hope that doesn't happen. >> and i would agree with sanjay, right on the mark. that's where he and i both talk about hope but that's not a strategy. >> you believe we're in the second inning of this pandemic. what do you think is to come? do you have a sense of what is ahead for snus. >> first of all understand this virus is very infectious, at least as infectious as influenza and likely more. you've seen the studies in the last week, maybe slightly flawed, but telling us no more than 5% to 15% of the population has been infected to date. think of what we've been

through. until you have 60% to 70% population infected it's not going to slow down, it's going to keep coming at it. that's why i say it's second inning of nine-inning game. i think won't be immune reaction from vaccine but lot of people getting sick, some dying, rest of us hopefully developing immunity. we're not in human time right now, we're in virus time. >> any way to predict how long it takes to get that 60% to 70% immunity antibodies? >> model we're using is pandemic influenza. two started in our winter, three in spring, two in summer, three in the fall. every one had a peak about six months after the original start that was much larger than all

the early activity. even in 2009, h1n1 which wasn't that large. we don't know what we're going to see, coronavirus going to act like that? i can tell you, it's not going to stop trying to find people to get until we get to 60% or 70% mark. that's why we need everything we can to attack it now. >> michael, appreciate your expertise and sanjay, always. next, heartbreaking story of young connecticut woman, husband well and healthy until suddenly struck by coronavirus. note he left when we return. hwh. . . . . . daddy, is that where we're from? well, actually...we're from a lot of places. you see we're from here and there and here... your family's story is waiting to be shared.

jonathan coelho was 32 years old, cancer survivor but in good health when his wife said he got coronavirus, intubated, doctors told his wife katie they expected him to sfooichurvive. he didn't. called to the hospital, jonathan left her a note in his phone

about his devotion to her and their two children, one of whom has a serious medical condition. katie joins me now. i'm so sorry for your loss and i thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> how are you holding up? >> it comes it waves. it's very surreal. but it -- i just -- i keep thinking in my head there's going to be a time where i've been without my husband longer than i've been with him, and it hurts a lot. >> yeah. i've reached that point a couple of times in my life and it's a very strange feeling. i'm sorry you're going to experience that. tell me about jonathan, what was he like? how did you first meet? >> we met in college, he was in

a fraternity, and we just became really good friends. we would actually go on double dates with significant others that we had had in college, he was just always my go-to person. he had a really amazing way of making everyone feel safe and his smile and hugs made you feel really secure. and around 2011 we just had -- we were just why haven't we been dating each other this entire time. oh, this is why we didn't like each other's exes. >> that's funny. >> we started dating, and i remember him saying to me, took me to dinner one night and said you're my end game, this is it. so i'm in this for good. and he was my best friend. he was just funny, a really

goofy guy. and he was very quiet at times but he was just -- if he loved and cared about you, you knew it. there was no way to doubt that. and he was just an infectious person. he loved everyone and was so pure. so, so pure. >> you created two beautiful children, just looking at your pictures, so adorable, what a family. >> yeah. yeah. we make cute babies. yeah. braeden is our son, 2 1/2, and penelope is ten months old. >> i know you were able to talk to him on facetime or a couple of minutes for some time but last two days i know you weren't able to because he could get anxious when it was ending and because he thought he was going to come off the ventilator, didn't want to make him anxious.

you got that call at night and i mean i can't imagine getting that call, 2:00 a.m. you knew something had happened. >> yeah. they had always said with the hospital if you don't hear from us, it's a good thing. would give us daily updates and you could always call and check in. i would call multiple times a day and facetime. as this last week had progressed he was being taken off sedatives more and more, much more alert and could nod yes and no and point and was able to answer my yes and no questions. tuesday they trialed him off the ventilator, in the sense they took the pressure away. so he was really just breathing on his own, and the idea was wednesday morning he would go off the oxygen part of it, trial it for the day, then i was told thursday or friday he would be

off the ventilator completely. and i spoke with the nurse tuesday at 9:00 and she said he did fantastic. and he did get tired at the end and they gave him a little bit of a sedative to sleep. asked if i should facetime or let him rest, she said let him rest and i'll tell him you called and if he wakes up i'll call you, didn't want to set him off. 2:04 wednesday morning i woke up to my phone ringing and it was the hospital, and before i answered it, i just said oh, god. >> he wrote a note -- that he left you in his phone, and part of it reads -- i love you guys with all my heart, you've given me the best life i could ever

ask for. and -- sorry. >> it's okay. jonathan is good with his words, huh? >> yeah. do you have friends and family around you? >> i've been able to have -- because my kids tested positive and i was never tested but they said it was safe to assume that i was positive because my entire family was, we've been able to have people come and help us as long as they're -- they wear masks and gloves. they've just helped with the kids greatly because the last two days have been really hard. and i'm really trying by i don't think i'm doing as good of a job as i wish i could. zblush zblush.

>> yeah, obviousy your kids are so young, they don't know what's going on. >> that's the double-edged sword. i'm glad they're so happy and loving and getting played with and think it's so much fun, but it's also, they don't know that they are -- lost the greatest human being and they'll only ever know their dad through pictures and memories and videos, and this note -- i feel like that's the worst part of this, they won't feel the love i held for the past ten years with my husband. they'll know about it but they can't say i remember feeling that. and anyone who has never had the feeling of jonathan loving them has seriously missed out. and it breaks my heart. i know he was so scared to miss

out on them growing up. that's one of the hardest things too. i know he didn't want this. i know he didn't go feeling like he had done everything he needed to do. i know he left feeling scared and not wanting to go. >> i can tell you, my dad died when he was a little kid, he really tried not to die because he didn't want to leave my brother and i and not have us know them. only thing i can tell you, they will know him through you and the love you have for him, they will feel like they knew him. you'll tell stories about him as they grow up, for the rest of their lives. >> my husband for my birthday this year made me a photo blanket, my daughter every night unprompted crawls over to her

dad's picture and starts hitting it because she likes his picture. the night my husband -- prior to my husband passing, my son got his adaptive communication device, and his speech teacher, who is amazing, made a tab so he could speak specifically to my husband to face tony rotime him a video, he hit my dad's my best friend and that's last video the nurse showed my husband before he went into cardiac arrest. >> katie, i am -- saying i'm so sorry for your loss seems so small but i think there are a lot of people praying for you and thinking about you. and hearts are breaking with

you. and -- >> thank you. >> i wish you peace and strength in the days ahead. >> thank you, i appreciate it, very much. thank you for telling my husband's story, it means a lot to us and him. >> katie coelho, thank you. >> thank you. >> just want to let you know, gofundme site is set up for katie's family. f/vbe 3 b-covid19-relief. they would appreciate anything you could do for them, be contributing. still ahead, president's comments. we'll be right back.
