>> reporter: and this morning we have at least 11 deaths nationwide with at least 149 cases. including the first three cases in maryland. governor larry hogan there explaining that these are patients who contracted the vie virus while they were traveling overseas and they are in good condition. check this out, dramatic video out of northern california where members of the california air national guard were seen delivering coronavirus test kits to the grand princess cruise ship that's anchored off the coast there. 3500 people stuck on-board, waiting to be tested, after a passenger from a previous trip died from the virus. and back here in new york, the rabbi of a suburban synagogue at the center of an outbreak is now the latest confirmed case, prompting hundreds more to have to self quarantine. lauren, cheryl. lauren: aishah hasnie, we're --

cheryl: there's also the first confirmed death in the netherlands from the coronavirus. facebook is telling employees in the san francisco bay area to stay at home amid the outbreak, this includes their menlo park headquarters. they're urging employees to cancel any planned trips going in or out of the united states. lauren: microsoft is doing the same. they're telling people if you go into the office, stay six he feet apart. there's some hope, quest diagnostics launching a service to test for it. the test would be conducted at hospitals and doctor's offices and samples will be sent to quest for analysis. earlier this week president trump met to discuss increasing the availability of diagnostics. cheryl: we're going to have more on this later on in the hour. or lines are taking a major -- airlines are taking a major hit amid the coronavirus outbreak. executives are doing what they can to cut costs. they're waiving change fees for new bookings, cutting fares in

an effort to attract travelers. bookings are certainly down for all the major players. united, jetblue are slashing services and offering leave to workers and there are those stocks as you can see, a lot of red arrows. lauren: costco is seeing an increase in business. sales benefited from an uptick in demand in the fourth week of the reporting period. shoppers are stocking up on essentials over fears of coronavirus. cheryl: many stores are experiencing supply shore stage -- shortages, hand sanitizer and toilet paper. kroger is limiting how many times people can buy toilet paper. lauren: hand sanitizer is in short supply. some stores are resorting to making their own version of it. it does contain alcohol. it shouldn't be replaced with vodka. tito's vodka taking to twitter to set the record straight after

some people said they were using it in homemade disinfect takens. it -- disinfectants. tito's hand made vodka is only 40% alcohol. cheryl: dry goods, rice, pasta, those items are selling out as well. it's interesting how people are dealing with the crisis. lauren: i had trouble getting bottled water the other day. people are stocking up in the event they don't want to go out at all. cheryl: our other top story this morning, jp morgan chase's ceo, jamie dimon, recovering after an emergency heart surgery that took place yesterday. it was an emergency. last minute procedure was to repair an acute aortic dissection. it was successful, according to a memo sent out to employees. dimon checked into the hospital early yesterday after experiencing chest pains while getting ready to go to work. the co-presidents are leading the bank in dimon's absence as he recovers. jp morgan's stock fell almost 5%

yesterday when the news began to circulate. the stock, though, this morning here we go, there is a little bit of premarket pressure but this could also be a part of the broader sell the futures market this morning. lauren: boeing is another stock to watch today. the new ceo is ripping his predecessor. david calhoon criticizing dennis muilenburg in an interview, saying the task of turning the company around is more than he imagined and speaks to the weakness in the company's leadership. he has worked to rebuild the company's relationships with airlines and with regulators. boeing stock, look at that chart, it's down more than 20% so far this year because of the 737 max crisis. cheryl: well, president trump didn't mince any words, slamming democrats and touting his accomplishments in a fox news town hall that was just held last night. >> i think the country is far more united than people think and ultimately what's uniting

the country is success. so it was a fake impeachment. they aimed at trump and took biden down. really, that's what happened. we have many healthcare plans now where it's 60%, even 65% less expensive than obamacare. we have a lot of support everywhere. look at the rallies. the country when i took it over that was very bad say. i -- bad shape. i really believe we're going to win this next election and when we do the other side is going to sarks okay, let's get along. lauren: we have the biggest moments of the night last night. caroline, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, lauren and cheryl. president trump ripped his rivals, critiqued the field and defended his style at the townhall held in scranton, pa. if you were wondering whether the presidents would be a -- president would be a kinder, gentler campaign than in 2016, here's your answer. >> when they hit us, we have to hit back. i wouldn't be sitting up here if

i turned my cheek. >> reporter: the president talked about senator elizabeth warren dropping out of the race yesterday and how super tuesday could have been different if she had gotten out earlier. >> bernie sanders would have won five, six, seven states, would have won minnesota, would have won at least another two or three states. so when you look at it, she did him no favors. that was not a good friendship. >> reporter: this was mr. trump's first townhall of the campaign season and could be a preview of how he'll debate. if the nominee is frontrunner biden, he should expect the president to go after his son and former job in the ukraine. >> i think that biden has been damaged. look at the so. here's a guy, didn't have a job, was unfortunately sadly the military was a very sad experience for him. he goes out, he gets $3 million plus $183,000 a month to be a board member of a company that a lot of people said was corrupt. >> reporter: bernie sanders put out an e-mail right after the

townhall saying the president sent a warning shot to democrats and if they nominate biden mr. trump would exploit his record on social security and nafta. back to you. lauren: facebook is taking down ads for the trump campaign that directed people to a survey labeled as a census. the move comes after house speaker nancy pelosi said people would confuse that with the official government census. facebook said they were enforcing a policy in place to prevent consisten confusion wite official government census. the committee said they would add language to future ads and mailers to make it more clear. cheryl: a federal judge is slamming attorney general william barr. lauren: tracee carrasco here now with those details. tracee: judge reggie walton is demanding to see an unredacted version of the doj's russia report. he wants to determine if they were warranted and if they followed federal guidelines.

barr declared robert mueller had not found evidence tying the trump campaign to russian meddling. the trump administration is cracking down on sanctuary cities and reportedly sending 500 i.c.e. agents to help with arrests. they will be deployed to 10 cities including new york and chicago. the move comes weeks after a separate decision to temporarily deploy -- redeploy 100 customs and border protection agents. president trump in a tweet yesterday said the government would withhold funds from those sanctuary cities. well, gap tapped internal talent for the new ceo. they announced sonya singal will take over and serve on the board of directors on march 23rd. she served as the head of the old navy brand since 2016. she is replacing bob fisher. gap has been struggling with sluggish sales for the last several years and earlier this year the company abandoned plans to break off old navy into a

separate public company. and finally, meet perseverance, the name chosen for nasa's new mars rover, one of 28,000 entries. the search for the name was part of a nationwide contest. it was submitted by alexander mather, a seventh grader from virginia. he said he chose the name because the rover helped pave the way for human presence. he will be on hand to watch the official launch this summer from cape canaveral in florida. cheryl: he's young enough, maybe he'll go to mars in his lifetime. lauren: he seems smart enough to do that. thank you. cheryl: let's take a look at your money right now on this friday. we have red arrows but we've got to remind you that the major indexes are actually higher for the week going into today. we'll see how this shakes out. right now, dow is down 500, s&p is down 62 and-a-half, nasdaq is down 179.

the 11th anniversary of the bottom of the market with the swings, is the bull run over? lauren: after a roller coaster week like this one, you might need to depro deplug today. mike gu gunzelman hits to strees to see if people can unplug. >> will you be able to do it for 24 hours do you think? >> i think 24 minutes is more reasonable. this is how it made me feel. it was like that feeling when you go to high-five a coworker, and you do a perfect high-five. everyone is really excited for you because it was such a great high-five. and then... ...the boss comes in. and she wants one too. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. fifteen minutes could save you adds to the legendary capability of the strongest, most advanced silverados ever.

lauren: happy anniversary to the bull market. today marks the 11th anniversary of the stock market bottom. with this week's wild swings, we're going to show them to you, we ask is the bull run over and if it is, did coronavirus kill it. that question goes to bell point strategist, david nelson. david, good morning. it's actually a bad morning when you look at the market, the activity we're seeing this morning. is this bull market over? >> no, it's not over. look, i went back, i actually just before i came in here, i looked at a chart going back 10 years, we're not even over-sold on a 10 year basis. we're really just right at the linear regression line, kind of wonky stuff, we're at the mean at this point. this is challenging, it's scary, we're seeing 1,000 point swings in either direction but it's not like we haven't been here before. we've had pandemics in the past that we managed to get through. lauren: misuho says there's two strains of infection right now, the fear of community spread and the hope of stimulus and they cross-infect each other. you have the market monday up

1300 points, tuesday down 700 points and back and forth. those are huge gut-punching swings. how do you deal with that? >> it's pretty tough to deal with it, even for professionals. we try to wrestle what the earnings will be. the first and second earnings are pretty much gone at this point. companies can't give us guidance. some companies are more challenged than others. a company, an airline, a hotel, a supply chain, they're hit all around the world. hotels and airlines, those seats are lost forever. apple and caterpillar, the sale will come back at some point. we don't know when. lauren: people will eventually start flying again. if the coronavirus passes, we get a ciewrks we get a vaccine. >> it will pass. lauren: without incident, let's say we don't go into a recession and you have the 10 year at 0.7% this morning and likely to stay under 1%, i mean, that has to

generate business activity coming out the other side. no? >> on the other side, we'll push forward. obviously, business doesn't get done now, a lot of that business will happen in the future. i think the fear right now with the markets are pricing in are likely layoffs for some companies. some companies are challenged, smaller companies. lauren: you think it will show up in the jobs data. >> it will show up in the jobs for some companies. the number i'm looking at, every thursday i look at unemployment numbers. right now, they're very good, haven't changed a bit. we'll have to look at those probably a month from now and see where they are. lauren: if you were to bottom line this for the average investor, sitting at home, watching this program, what would you say to them? >> there's a lot of fear out there that this is the financial crisis. it is not that. back then, that was a credit event married to a consumer recession. some of our largest financial institutions were insolvent. that's not the case now. the banks are well-capitalized at this point. this will pass. we saw in 2009, the h1n1 virus,

infected 61 million americans, 275,000 were hospitalized, 12,000 died. we got through that. we'll get through this. lauren: another piece of good news, 100,000 coronavirus infections worldwide, 55,000 have recovered. >> we haven't talked about that enough. we're going to get through. it's just pretty scary right now. lauren: thank you for sharing that. cheryl: markets could use good news. could a video game hold the key to finding a cure for the coronavirus? how one game maker is taking a step into the world of science. president trump weighing in on chuck schumer's comments about the conservative justices. >> if a republican did what schumer did, they'd be in jail right now. cheryl: we've got more of the president's response coming up on "fbn: a.m.." ♪ while the world keeps fighting for your attention.

lauren: a new video game may help researchers create a vaccine for the coronavirus. cheryl: joining us now from fox news headlines 24/7, is brett larson. this is interesting. good morning. >> it's interesting. there's two parts to this. there's the game that you can download and play and kind of -- it gives you a good understanding of what the coronavirus is, how viruses work, their structure. it's a very basic -- there's the graphics there. it's a very basic game. but as you go along, you learn different things about the coronavirus. you are not yourself going to be creating a vaccine when you play the game but you're going to be running through different scenarios and different types of proteins and that's going to help researchers. the other angle to this, does anyone remember study at home, it was a screen saver that would go for the search for extra

terrestrial intelligence data. lauren: no. >> they now have a folding proteins, folding at home. so here's kind of how this works. we've got these super computers, we've got several of them in the u.s. and they go through nuclear explosion scenarios, they do these really complicated tasks, even churning through data to figure out the weather. it's kind of like that. but it's distributed. so they've got all of this data that they need to just -- they've got to crunch the numbers. so they're able to distribute it to other people. you download the program, it runs in the background when the computer is not doing anything else. if you've got a desktop computer, maybe it's collecting dust, i'm not sure what you're doing with it, if it's got a few extra cycles -- lauren: let's talk about unplugging. today is the day to unplug. >> it is. on that note, i'm going to take this -- no. lauren: see ya. cheryl: we didn't say un-mic.

i love this story, they is great. >> this is a serious thing. there are detox centers that you can go to, digital detox centers where when you check in, you hand over your tablet, smartphone, lap top, and you get back to nature. as we have become more used to using our phones, using our tablets, we've kind of become addicted to it. it is very much an addiction, it's very similar to -- lauren: it's stressful too. >> it is stressful. we've heard about the mystery taps where you think your watch vibrates and it didn't actually do that, it's a sign your body is saying okay, we're sensory overload, we've got to turn it off. so toss your phone in a bag. cheryl: there's actually luxury resorts around the world and i have a friend that went to one a few years ago where you give them everything and then the a main people in your life can contact you, your boss, your husband, your wife, whatever, can contact you. otherwise, you give them everything. in case of emergency, you can be

reached otherwise, you have nothing and you have nature and sun and air and it sounds great. >> they're talk about this 24/6 mentales, as opposed to 24/7. a lot of people are doing that. get your family together, sit around the tv like we used to. we talked about this, heading into the holidays. no, take some time when you're with your family, get the pictures out of the way, put everything aside and just take a breath. lauren: the fact that there are actually groups and resorts that cater to the fact that we are so stressed and we need to unplug speaks volumes. >> it really does. cheryl: brett, thank you so much. we are going to unplug. lauren: don't unplug yet. you can catch brett on fox news headlines 24/7, sirius xm channel 115. let's show you the market. we've had a roller coaster but a positive week overall. the s&p is down 70. nasdaq is down 211. as i said, we are waiting on the

lauren: here's your morning cheat sheet, the top headlines to get you through your friday. president trump will sign an $8 billion spending bill to combat the coronavirus. it will pay for medical supplies, vaccine research and help small businesses that are taking a hit amid the outbreak. elizabeth warren has ended her 2020 presidential campaign but has yet to endorse another candidate. and jp morgan chase ceo jamie dimon recovering this morning after an emergency heart surgery yesterday, the last minute procedure was to repair an acute aortic dissection. more on that in just a minute.

the co-presidents are leading the bank in dimon's absence. cheryl: the most important economic report of the month due out less than three hours from now. the economy expected to have created 176,000 jobs in january with the unemployment rate still at 3.6%. those are the expectations. danielle booth, ceo and director of intelligence for will quill intelligence is here. good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: what do you make of what we're going to see today. we have red arrows in the futures market. this report could change the game. what's your expectation? >> it can. but it's been years since i've been around this least amount of anticipation around a nonfarm payroll friday. the market has already faded the data. this predates when the coronavirus was really in the news headlines here in the united states. and this predates hundreds of conferences that have been

canceled throughout the country and if you think about travel, tourism, restaurants, the industries that have been hardest hit in areas such as china and europe where we've had the coronavirus, these are very labor-intend sieve -- intense sectors. we'll be looking to see -- when you cancel this much fifth a country, you don't need as many people manning hotels and restaurants as you would otherwise. again, i'm fading this morning's data. cheryl: and that's certainly a serious topic. you're right. we're not going to see and we don't expect to see any impact from the coronavirus in this report because companies to be clear were surveyed before the outbreak really got going. always, we will look at wages and we will see if wages actually were stronger for the month of february. but there could be a slowdown there and also the hours, we might see some cutting of hours in this report as well. >> exactly. and that's what we look to.

we look to see hours worked. because hours tend to proceed bodies and in that sense you're going to be reluctant because we've had a skills shortage in the country during the longest economic expansion and longest labor market expansion in the history of the country. so companies are going to be reticent to let employees go. the first thing you'll see to your point is that they're going to cut the hours before they actually proceed with layoffs. that's good news. cheryl: let's talk about the fed. obviously this is something that is in your backyard. the surprise 50 basis point cut earlier this week, we haven't seen that since the 2008 financial crisis. what do you expect when they have their actual meeting and do we get another cut from them. >> it doesn't matter what i think. the federal reserve, for better, for worse, tends to follow what the market is already pricing in and the market right now, if you look at the options pricing market, it's priced in another 50 basis point, another half

percentage point rate cut in just 13 days on march 18th. so unless there is a full-blown reversal of this kind of fear factor, that's percolating through the markets, i can't see those probabilities coming down and you've heard from other fed officials today we go into blackout, that's a big deal that investors should be paying attention to. fed officials can't say anything after today because there's a mandated 10-day blackout period before the federal open market committee so things will get very quiet starting tomorrow morning. whatever expectations are today, that's what we'll get for march 18th. cheryl: to your point, a lot could happen as we've seen between now and then. you're right, they can't talk and that could be a market negative. i do care what you think. than you, always -- thank you, always great have you here. i always read your reports. thank you for those. maria bartiromo will have complete coverage and analysis of the february jobs numbers, that starts at 8:00 a.m. eastern time on "mornings with maria." lauren: president trump has responded to chuck schumer's

comments about the conservative justices. >> that was a real intimidation and the best you can say is they're trying to intimidate so the judges vote, so the justices vote their way. that's no good either. but that was a physical -- if a republican did what schumer did, they'd be in jail right now. lauren: schumer seemed to make threatening comments towards justices kavanaugh and gorsuch at an abortion rights rally on wednesday. the minority leader said he used the wrong words but never issued a full apology. president trump set to visit tennessee today. cheryl: this is as the state begins to pick up the pieces following multiple tornadoes that have killed at least 19 people earlier this week. the president spoke with tennessee governor bill lee, offering condolences and promising the federal government will help the state recover. lauren: the new series on hillary clinton is out. the hulu program documents her

failed 2016 campaign and gives an inside look at her marriage and the affair that nearly cost president bill clinton his job. >> it wasn't like i thought, how can i think about the most stupid thing i could possibly do and do it. >> i didn't want anything to do with him. lauren: according to the daily mail, bill clinton said he had a relationship with white house intern monica lewinsky to manage his anxiety. cheryl: we're watching that. i want to see that. dunkin' donuts looking to make the last day of the workweek a little sweeter for all of you. starting today, members of the reward program will get a free donut with any drink purchase. this is part of dunkin's thank god it's free donut friday promotion. great name, by the way. if you're interested in free dough nuts for a year, they'll be offering that to four lucky winners to come up with a cheer routine that advertises the deal. please send us these videos. lauren: i almost brought in donuts this morning. i kent driving. cheryl: i love -- i kept

cheryl: bernie sanders shifting focus to the midwest, cancelling a planned rally in mississippi, replacing it with one in michigan. sanders currently trailing joe biden as both candidates look to pick up voters in the wake of elizabeth warren dropping out. let's bring in former 2013 -- 16, bernie sanders national staffer and political analyst, teslan figero. what do you make of this fight for elizabeth warren's voters? because if you look at who supported her, super tuesday and prior to that, it was in states

and groups that really aren't that, quote, bernie bro. what do you think happens to those supporters and how does sanders grab them. >> i think it will come down though what the supporters want to do. senator warren has said she's not making a decision right away. i project she will do the same thing she did in 2016, which is wait until the nominee is selected because remember in 2016 she did not help senator sanders and i don't think his supporters have made it any ease yesterdaeasier for her. she talked about during her interview that the supporters have been constantly attacking. senator warren has always been down the middle of the road between being a moderate as well as progressive, she's what i call a compassionate capitalist. i think she has a decision to make. i don't see her going to senator sanders anytime soon. it will be up to the voters. cheryl: give me a back story on this. what is the relationship between the sanders campaign and the warren campaign? after her not endorsing anyone yesterday, it seems there's been some friction.

has there been mi mistreatment r fighting between the two camps? >> for sure. let's go back to 2016. a lot of her supporters were -- a lot of bernie supporters were bitter and resentful because they felt she should have came out early on. so that was never mended during that time. when she came out this time it was almost like it was damned if she do and damned if she don't. if she didn't make a distinction between her and senator sanders, her supporters got upset. when she did try to stand up for herself, senator sanders' supporters got upset. it was like she could not get anything right. that's why she got pulled further to the left. i think that messed up her campaign, trying to impress or keep both tribes happy. i think that's what damaged her campaign towards the end. she waits until the 10 debate to say i'm a capitalist, i'm not far left socialist. now we see with super tuesday that voters are more moderate
