when you get the virus the first time, and you are able to overcome it, are you able to constantly get it? on top of that, they were talking about the virus comes through your eyes. but then, as i have been hearing on tv these days, that is likely .o be breathed in and so forth could we wear masks to help prevent it? host: i know the concerns of the questions that you ask about, and it is something certainly that a lot of people are talking about, the possibility of reinfection and how best to prevent this. your community in indiana and how this is impacting your life very act oh -- their? caller: [inaudible] i'm pretty much calm. i have a good immune system and

i have three little boys. them, you know, you better watch your hands. -- you cannot use other people's things. cover your mouth when you are coughing. i tell them to stay clean, and that is what we try to practice. there have been a couple of work in avon, and i greencastle, which is right around the corner from avon. ,ere in terre haute indiana, where i live, i don't know. host: how old are your children? ?re they school age caller: they are 10, 7 and four. host: are they in school right now? caller: they are on a two hour delay. host: what do you tell them when you are asked about all the things we are seeing in the news , especially this week regarding coronavirus. what do you say to them?

caller: i tell my kids it is like a fluke. i say stay clean, wash your hands, cover your mouth, i just tell them the basics that i know how to do to keep from getting sick. host: you say you are not panicking, that you are calm. caller: i'm not panicking. at first i was in a panic mode, this is the end of the world, but now i stopped panicking. i go to work every day, i cannot afford to miss, and my job gives us vacation time, so i do have that available, through my employer. i don't want to miss work. clean, them just to keep so our walmart is out of toilet paper. i think people are going more crazy, and that is where

everybody is going to get sick are hurry upf them and rushing to get last-minute things, versus paying calm -- staying calm and not trying to get sick. host: britney, thanks for the call. we had to massachusetts now. this is susan. what do you think of the federal response so far and what do you think about the aid package that is expected to have a vote on the house floor today? aller: i am a nurse in long-term care facility, and we use ppe, or protective equipment , and we use it for other diseases as well. that are a lot of diseases staying in someone's urine or in their bowels that we have to wear ppe for. because of the rush, our supplier has run out of our ppe, so we have been forced to use inadequate materials that are permeable to fluids and whatnot.

it puts us all at a risk of there are nose, antibiotics secure right now except for one that was $10,000 a dose. i was told that our facility bought our protective gowns from ebay, and they are certainly not adequate for the job that they are required for. i am really concerned about our supply chain for other things, not just the testing equipment, but for ppe that we need. i hope that the government is starting to work on that as well, really, for nurses, because i'm going to work tonight and you know, i'm going to have to wear a gown that i know that fluids can get through . it puts us all at greater risk. the house and senate passed last week that $8.3 billion emergency aid for

medical issues in the medical community. do you know if any of that money is getting to you or have you heard that that will be helpful in getting you the supplies that you need? what is your work telling you? don't know.ally because i work the night shift, i go in and find the supplies that are there. it is frightening, because we did a little test. one of the rooms that we go into on a routine basis for patients that are incontinent and have diseases in their urine that are not something that can be really cured, we did a little test and some gauze and touched someone's arm, and it went right through to her skin. i hope it trickled down to the long-term care facilities. not just the emergency rooms and this applies become available.

buying gowns off of ebay does not seem like a good solution to me. it worries me. i hope it does get to us. host: thanks for the call for massachusetts this morning. the emergency package signed by the president, and we are expecting a vote today on a second response package, this one focused on economic relief. as chad program of fox news noted in his tweet this morning, that excuse me, nancy's letter to her colleagues in the house saying that, promising work on a third emergency response package that could take further action to protect health. coming back to the bill being voted on today, questions about price tag would be on it. the washington times takes a look at the various proposals that could be voted on today, and the potential costs including what president trump was tweeting about, a payroll tax cut.

the committee for responsible federal budget says that payroll cost $840uld billion. and emergency lending powers of the smaller business administration chance for taxpayers to put off filing their taxes, keeping $200 billion more in americans' poc kets for now. that would balloon to $1 trillion. democrats wish list includes government-backed paid leave for employees who can't work because of the virus, a boost to unemployment insurance and food programs, and an infusion of cash for states were medicaid systems are under pressure from coronavirus patients. depending on how the basic operate, it's price tag could run from $30 billion to as much as $180 billion. that story today from the washington times. samuel, shepherdsville, kentucky. good morning. your thoughts on the federal response to coronavirus? was -- heresir, i

where we live at, i know we live in kentucky here and i have been watching chuck schumer just kind of going on and on about the president not taking care of this and taking care of that, but i think it is all of their responsibility. that is why people are elected, to represent their state. here in kentucky, our governor, within a couple of days, he has put this state on track. i don't know what's going on with the rest of the states and beshearon, but governor and mayor of louisville fisher has just done a super and great job so far. maybe they should pass on some of that to washington. maybe they could learn a little bit. host: what specifically have they done a good job about and what lessons could they learn? caller: they have closed our

schools, a lot of places is closed. they are putting forward an effort to do something where a lot of people haven't. up in washington, they are bickering and they take their time doing something about it instead of bashing each other. that's crazy. now is the time when people need to stick together. i just wanted to tell you and the world that our state has taken care of things. i feel safe because i can be here. daniel, thanks for the view -- samuel, thanks for the view from kentucky this morning. we have been bringing the federal response to the coronavirus to you here on the c-span networks. yesterday was another one of those hearings, and the house oversight and reform committee in that hearing, congresswoman katie porter of california, asks the cdc's director about covering the cost of coronavirus upting, an issue that's come

amid the concern around the availability of test and how much that would cost people. here is the exchange from yesterday. [video clip] >> will you commit to the cdc right now using that existing authority to pay for diagnostic testing free to every american regardless of insurance? >> we are going to do everything to make sure -- >> not good enough. reclaiming my time. dr. redfield, you have the existing authority. will you commit right now to using the authority that you law, vested in you under that provides in a public health emergency for testing, treatment, exam, isolation without cost. yes or no? >> what i am going to say is reviewed in detail with the cdc -- >> reclaiming my time. dr. redfield, respectfully, i wrote you this letter along with andolleagues rosa delauro

lauren underwood. congressman underwood and congressman delauro. we wrote you this letter one week ago. we quoted that existing authority to you and laid out this problem. we asked for a response yesterday. the time for deadline and delay has passed. will you commit to invoking your existing authority to provide for coronavirus testing for every american, regardless of insurance coverage. iswhat i was trying to say cdc is working with hhs now to see how we operationalize that. >> dr. redfield. i hope that answer weighs heavily on you. because it is going to weigh very heavily on me and on every american. intent is to make sure every american gets the secure treatment they need at the time of this epidemic, and i am working with hhs to see how to best operationalize it. >> you do not need to do any

work to operationalize. you need to make a commitment to the american people so they come in to get tested. you can operationalize the payments -- >> i think you are an excellent questioner, so my answer is yes. >> excellent. everyone in america, hear that. you are eligible to go get tested for coronavirus and have it covered, regardless of insurance. please, if you believe you have the illness, follow precaution. call first. do everything that the cdc and dr. fauci, that lets you, say -- god bless you, say to ensure you are healthy. but do not let this lack of insurance continue this crisis. your phone calls. steve in illinois, good morning. on the line for medical professionals. what field are you in in the medical field? caller: good morning. thank you for taking the call.

nurse.s intensive care i sort of agreed with the nurse that called earlier, she worked in long-term care about enough equipment in the health care facilities. noticed overave the years, it is totally normal for a patient, a nonemergency patient to have 10 and 20 family .embers come to the hospitals this would have to be curbed. hospitalient in the should have one patient allowed to visit. i had a scary situation this week. we live in illinois -- we have to get a new drivers license by october with the star on it that allows us to fly. so i sat for 3.5 hours in a very crowded, stuffy drivers license facility waiting to get my new drivers license. lots of older people, warm temperatures, people with their

coats on, taking their coats off , crammed in -- at least 200 to 300 people. we really have to look at how we are conducting our daily lives. i do appreciate you letting me call. i will stay on the phone if you have a question. host: steve, appreciate you calling and appreciate you watching. a lot of colors this morning. elizabeth his neck's out of san diego, california. good morning. caller: good morning. good morning. i would love to thank all the medical professionals who are doing just incredible work and putting yourself at risk, so thank you so much. also, shout out to representative porter. and nancy pelosi. they are trying to look out for the little guys. i hope they put the money where it is going to help those that cannot afford it. with regard to the president and his oval office presentation.

it was woefully uninformative and misleading, three major errors. he really did not do this issue any justice by being so unprepared and misleading to the people. what do you think about the idea of a european travel ban for at least 26 european countries? caller: in theory that is a good thing, but with the u.k. being exempt from that, that is not helpful because this cross colonization with the channel and all. it sent such a mixed message, that such a prominent person came in from switzerland -- they are not even testing with a thermometer, you know? for fever. yous in japan recently --

walk through the airport, they i'll, they ramp you right over with a thermometer -- ramp you rightll over with a thermometer. they can do things in the airport to prevent things that are not happening in our airports. i wanted to comment on president atmp sitting next to someone mar-a-lago that tested positive, the facthe downplayed that he was sitting next to this person. that was a perfect opportunity for him to educate the public. i think you should isolate himself. his daughter should isolate herself. that would be modeling good behavior for the rest of the country while we are waiting for these test kits. host: elizabeth in san diego this morning. we know that this economic relief legislation, it is nancy

pelosi and steven mnuchin that have been taking the lead in negotiating this package. craig caplan, c-span producer on capitol hill, noting that democratic leaders are right now meeting in speaker pelosi's office to discuss that economic relief bill. we are expecting for a deal to be reached later today. and at the white house, we know that is where the treasury secretary is. we will see what the phone calls bring us after these negotiations continued into the night yesterday and we know they continued into the morning, so far this morning. the caller was just talking about the president's travel ban on 26 european countries. the financial times taking a look at the economic impact and what that would mean. they estimate some 3500 flights a week would be impacted by the travel ban on 26 countries. the ban on individuals from that

country, those 26 countries, or individuals that have been in that country for the last 17 days. in april, some 1700 41 flights were scheduled from germany to the united states. 1570, and from the netherlands, 312. looked on the germany is likely the --it hard -- lift on and delta and american airlines here in the united states. if you want to read more on that from the financial times today, yesterday, while he was meeting with the irish prime minister, president trump defended his travel restrictions in europe and discussed their economic impact. here is what he had to say. [video clip] >> there are many european leaders that are upset that they were not consulted about the travel ban. can you explain your rationale?

very well with european leaders, but we had to make a decision, and i did not want to take time. it makes a long time to make the individual calls. we are calling and have spoken to some of them prior to some of the majors. when they raise taxes on us, they don't consult us. i think that is probably one and the same. they've done things, the european union has, you know, me, becauseuch with i won't put up with it, but they .ave not consulted us in the case of the european union, i have consulted with many people. idea of theve an economic impact -- impact, is also a human which is more important in the financial. it is example -- if i didn't close very, very early, leo, we closed early with china, and i

took a lot of heat, including from you people, a lot of heat. they called me everything from a racist to everything else. it was terrible. the same people -- then they say oh, he closed too fast. most of them said why did he close, which turned out to be a great move. what we did with europe, this was the time. china, a lot of it came from to europe, it was very fast and furious. a lot of people went from china into europe and europe suffered tremendously. you see what is going on. wanted that to stop as it pertains to the united states. that is what we have done. we have stopped. host: president trump at the white house yesterday. debbie in kansas city, missouri. your thoughts on the federal response to coronavirus? caller: hello? host: go ahead, debbie. caller: hi, total incompetence. too little too late is what we get from a baboon running the

system. i live alone. i himself quarantining. our city mayor issued a state of emergency out of abundance of caution. one county over from me just reported their first death in a long-term care facility. so i am not panicked, but i am very concerned. this't trust anything government says. i think the only person i am really paying attention to is dr. fauci. that is it. we had a caller earlier ask about reinfection and her concern about reinfection when it comes to coronavirus. dr. anthony fauci was asked about that on capitol hill yesterday. let me play that clip from the oversight and reform hearing. [video clip] >> let me ask you a science

question. if someone got the virus three, four weeks ago, they thought they had the flu or a bad cold or something and recovered from it, they are now essentially immune from getting the virus again. is that correct? >> we have not formally proved it, but it is strongly likely that is the case. if this acts like any other virus, once you recover, you will not get reinfected. >> if they came down with another cold, not related to coronavirus, got tested, with the test show they had gotten the coronavirus or not? if you do an antibody test, if you wait weeks and months after you've recovered, the antibody tests will tell you whether that person was formally infected with coronavirus. >> following up on that, if andbody has the immunity -- in that sense is not a carrier,

they could still transmit, if they got the virus somehow on ,heir skin or something else they are thinking i am immune, i am safe to move around in a sense. is that true. >> no. absolutely not. let's say i get infected. whether i get sick or not, i clear the infection from my body. 24 hours apart, which is the standard to say, i'm no longer infected. younth and a half from now, do an anti-body test, that test is positive. anybody,ransmitting to because my body has already cleared the virus. although my antibody test says, you were infected a month or two is noight now if there virus and me, i'm not going to be able to transmit it to anyone. host: dr. anthony fauci of nih

on capitol hill yesterday. rest for of tallahassee, florida. your thoughts on the federal response? good morning. nice to hear your voice. i am watching you in a doctor's appointment right now. i quick points are this -- appreciate the president putting the no-fly ban. and helps slow the spread with certain people being infected inside a small plane, that is not good. don'te thing i appreciate, though, i don't think we should be comparing this to the flu. i don't think the people of italy right now are comparing it to the flu. another point that i would like , i don't appreciate politicians, certain politicians running around washington, d.c. with masks on, taking photo op's. i don't think that is a smart idea. to your previous caller, you had a nurse that just called in and

gave a great point about visitors that have, that come to the hospital to visit patients. we should maybe have a one patient visit, maybe 2, 1 cantor at a time so you have separate people, but at separate times. sometimes people do spread a lot when they are inside hospitals. if you bring a bunch of your , but i appreciate you getting the information out to the people. thank you for being there, c-span. oh yeah, and manufacturing -- backed this a while on my twitter account. we need to make sure we manufacture and give incentives to companies in our country that can manufacture health products. we need to prepare ourselves and get ourselves prepared, because the rest of the world will need some help, i believe. please continue to pray for africa. thanks, bye. host: christopher in florida, mentioning lawmakers and precautions they are taking.

program,ox news's chad ted cruz has extended his self quarantine. he was informed yesterday that he had a second interaction with someone who has coronavirus, and the leader of the box party in spain, quoting ted cruz, i am , we met abouting 20 minutes sitting together at a conference table and shook hands twice. , one ofst on ted cruz the members that has put himself in self quarantine over concerns of an interaction with someone who has been diagnosed with the coronavirus. sheila in minnesota, good morning. caller: good morning. good morning. host: go ahead. i do think trump is doing a very good job. would quitdemocrats

picking on him. i used to be a democrat, and the party left me because they are not pro-life. and i am watching all this stuff -- in minnesota, we have like six cases and it is close to my dad, who is going to be 95 on the 25th of this month, and he byll drives and goes around ale, ioud and and worry about him and i worry about my siblings, my kids and my siblings. i have 15 grandkids and i am worried about if they are going to be out of school, what they are going to do. works iner-in-law assisted living place and i worry about her working with you know, my and

son is self employed. how is it going to help him when he cannot get work? thanks for c-span. you guys do a nice job. thank you. host: sheila, thanks for calling in. tom is next, jamestown, new york. good morning. good morning. thanks for taking my call. host: go ahead. caller: i believe the response has been totally inadequate and misleading, and to the president's tweet this morning about the tax cuts, my math teacher taught us that 100% of zero is zero. if you cannot go to work, you do not make money, 100% of nothing is nothing. that is not going to help. same answer for everything. thank you. that's tom in new york.

this is the front page of the sports section of usa today this morning. christine brennan, a columnist at usa today, talking about the impact of coronavirus, bigger in sports, noting in her column today, which is getting a lot of attention, has anyone ever questioned the power of sports in america? doubt no more. the coronavirus became clear for many americans that had no correction to it -- connection to it when we started losing sports. wednesday's news about the cancellation most assuredly got your attention. sports are a great escape and have become our sobering reality. to take it seriously. hopefully as sports goes, so go the nation. if games were going on today, if nothing is wrong, millions of us would think they could go on with their lives as if nothing was wrong, which we know from the magnitude of this deadly outbreak is just not the case.

if you want to read more from christine brennan, her column today, the very front page of the sports action in usa today. norman in ridgway, colorado, good morning. good morning. good morning to you. i hope everyone is feeling good and staying healthy. i'm a lifelong republican that did not vote for trump because when i got into the voting booth , even though it hurt my heart to vote for hillary clinton, i only did it for one reason. , coulds, i asked myself trump run the government in the emergency? him being a novice with no ,xperience, my answer to myself and i am sure every american who voted asked this question. my answer was no. he does not have the kind of experience that he needs to run this government. believe inrters, i did nottionary manner

have the development of their enough to asked themselves that question and answer it properly. so we find ourselves in a situation where we have a national emergency and the people elected by the good judgment of the people who elected them cannot handle this crisis. they are totally inept. trump thinks if he lies about it and his mind, it will cure everything. snakelling j kinsley a put every republican governor on notice that if they don't play ball with trump's numbers and , they ared paradigm going to be called snakes to and worse. host: so you say that you don't

think the president can handle this, as we move closer and closer to november? bernie sanders or joe biden can handle a crisis like this? caller: yes. just because they have experience. i think biden better than sanders, because biden has that administrative experience and they know how to pull the levers in government. it turns out that the people who voted for trump have a mortally flawed judgment of process. therefore judgment is now costing normal minded americans their lives. -- there for judgment -- their poor judgment is now costing normal minded americans their lives. joe biden spoke about the coronavirus. here is what he had to say. [video clip] the american people is the most important job

of any president, and this virus unfortunately laid bare the shortcomings of the current administration. public fears are being compounded. there is a pervasive lack of trust. it is fueled by adversarial that he continues to have. our government's ability to respond effectively has been undermined by hollowing out our agencies and disparagement of science. and our ability to drive a global response is dramatically undercut the damage trump has done to our credibility and our relationships around the world. former vice president joe biden yesterday. a few minutes left in our program this morning, asking you your thoughts on the federal .esponse to coronavirus this throughout the morning and throughout yesterday, we have been tracking the idea of a federal spending package to address the economic impacts of coronavirus.

the negotiations primarily between speaker of the house nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steven mnuchin. those negotiations apparently continuing this morning. or so,out 20 minutes ago steven mnuchin spoke from the grounds of the white house about the payroll tax cut that president trump has proposed as part of the economic relief and the potential of tariff relief as well. here is what he had to say. >> the president is very interested in the table tax cut -- payroll tax cut because it is a giant stimulus. if congress wants to do the stimulus in a different format, we will consider that. the president wants to put money in the economy for hard-working americans impacted by this. >> is it a bargaining chip on the senate side? to say it is at bargaining chip. the president is interested in putting money into the economy, and we are interested in that. oneral tariff release is not

the table. ambassador lighthizer and i have spoken, and there are several companies, particularly small businesses, that are impacted by this. i'm sure he will take that to the private sector. treasury secretary steven mnuchin from the white house this morning. the house is currently in recess, subject to the call of the chair. we are expecting sometime later today a vote on some sort of relief package there. there will be at least 40 minutes of debate before that vote. that is what we are expecting this morning. things changing rapidly on capitol hill. stay with c-span throughout the day if you want to watch that debate and that vote as well, we will bring it to you live, gavel to gavel. arkansas, the line for medical professionals. good morning. c-span.yes, thanks for i could not decide whether the woman from missouri that called , or theident a baboon poor affected speaker from

colorado who claimed that the trump supporters were a mentally deranged, i just won't comment. my comment was on the politicalization. i remember decades ago, when walt disney and disneyland would not let the beatles come into nd, drawing some ridiculous correlation between the beatles going to infect ?isneyland we have come to such a ridiculous state where we blame others, including the president, for this wuhan virus. the call.k you for bill's next out of oakland, maine. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i think the virus, the last gentleman who spoke was spot on.

the virus i think is something normal, something that is just like any other virus -- out there that we have had in the last years. i think there is too much panic going on. as far as the bill they are trying to put through today, i would like to understand why andsi is pushing abortion trying to slide abortion in under that bill when it is for the court -- coronavirus. that is pretty much what i have. the proof is in the pudding, so thank you very much for your time. host: what are you doing differently in maine? you talk about taking the precautions, what do you mean? caller: washing hands, keeping distance from people. we had our first case come

positive yesterday. it is basic, like any other flu, as far as i am concerned. i think as long as we take proper precautions and people stop panicking, things will go much smoother. maine thisis bill in morning. mary in lake geneva, wisconsin. good morning. caller: good morning. host: go ahead. caller: all right. i think the administration's response to the coronavirus has been abysmal. this did not start a few weeks ago or a few months ago. the other countries that have this have beenth doing so much better, so much better than we have, and there is no excuse for that. have been and doctors warning the trump administration about this possibility for a

long, long time. not know if they ignored it or what, but i also think that the appointment of alex a czar and dr. redfield were not very good decisions because those people were really not qualified to handle a situation like this. i really regret all those people who voted to get those two people into their position, because i do not think they know what they are doing. alex a czar worked for a drug -- alex azar worked for a drug company. dr. redfield, when he was put up for this position, a lot of people in the scientific community protested and said that he was just totally unqualified. he is qualified for some things, but he probably would not be qualified for this. host: that is our last caller

today. we continue to watch the house for for what will happen next when it comes to that potential economic stimulus package. the hill newspaper with their latest write up on it. the sticking points in that package for instance, republicans balked at the paid leave program. addressing thely coronavirus problem. democrats have objected to republican demands that it prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion services. negotiations continued into the night yesterday and continue right now on capitol hill. you can watch how it plays out throughout the day on the house floor. gavel-to-gavel coverage throughout the day when the house is in session. that will do it for us this morning. we will be back here at 7:00 a.m. eastern.
