the market with oil. you know basically driving prices down to the point of pain. you know, is there a positive silver lining in here. yeah i guess you know in a few months it's going to be good. but you know, i don't to tell that to people that are going to be losing their jobs if this is sustained it that could very well happen. lauren: phil we hear you with thank you and that phone ringing that you? for you? >> no mine has been going. i've been getting call all day long if from sunday morning. lauren: i can imagine we thank you. cheryl: seeing, of course, oil and what's happening with with market this is morning loo at futures, you know, vladimir putin going up against saudis you know question out there because he's trying to hurt the united states? and the sanctions that we put on the russians. a lot of stuff going on in oil market this morning. let's take a look at futures right now again circuit breakers triggered last night for the the s&p 500. we're going talk about that a little bit later on.

face it right now you're coming you have a strong economic period. so hopefully we can push through. cheryl: does fed cut rates again next week? >> not sure if next week but short-term and where first cuts go and where that leads us. cheryl: they're waving harkts let's talk about market up 300% over last 11 years 15% annualized return what do you say to people this morning? >> you have ton an investor if you're a trader this is something you never win. i can tell you when to get out not when it get back in so if you're not in it you miss thing beingest move on theup side. andlet face it we've been through periods like 9/11 so we'll get through this as well. cheryl: we've been through the dot come bus people tend to panic and sell on days like today you say don't do that. >> that's correct if you're investor with more than a week we're looking out years right if you've got in on the bottom, it

is 666, back in '09, 300% if you got in day ever be the market, end up crashing in 2008 you're over 200% that is not a bad return. cheryl: with oil we're seeing gas prices falling. that's a tax cut with a ton of refinancing that's a tax cut. so those are positives. >> yes without a doubt again if you're an invest tour you're able to buy companies now that are great long-term and end up having good earnings over a period of time in a goodings position here in states and best country. in terms of economic scenarios out there. cheryl: we will survive this as we have in the past gus thank you for being here. all right lauren. lauren: at least two republican lawmakers have self-quarantined after coming into contact with the coronavirus victim. who attended cpac -- cheryl: that's going to be something they're going to be watching in washington because, you know, you know with ted cruz senator ted cruz now in

lauren: bernie sanders is throw all of his chips into michigan, tomorrow, ahead of the vote there, the priewrm there he's looking to gain back moment it tomb he lost to joe bightedden during last week's super tuesday. now sanders loses, well this could be end of his campaign davidturner is here. good morning. >> good morning. lauren: bernie sanders told chris wallace he won't drop out if he loses michigan tomorrow but if he loses what is the path to the nomination? >> look i think it is a difficult one. bernie sanders campaign themselves have said that michigan is a critical state for them as you know in 2016 michigan was one of those states that gave bernie sanders campaign some life after super tuesday and 2016. so i think this is an important race for him and it will be interesting to see what result is. lauren: i want you to listen to a kevin mccarthy told maria bartiromo yesterday about joe biden and type of candidate he is for the democratic party listen. >> l remember what they did to bernie sanders four years ago?

the night before the convention, the chair of the democratic party had to resign because they found out they were cheating. nancy pelosi the speaker of the house held papers impeachment not to go to senate so senate couldn't campaign to give advantage to joe biden they got klobuchar and buttigieg and nominating joe biden same as republicans nominating mitt romney but you have no chance had of winning. >> he compared biden to romney what do you say? >> i think that somebody a member of a party that is canceling primaries did you want have much to say about the establishment. putting their thumb on scales i think it has been very clear that amy klobuchar and pete out on own accord because they didn't see a path to nomination and more than a fair process. the sanders campaign has been involved setting rules for last four years. so i think kevin mccarthy is

maybe trying to stir up a little controversy. but not really telling truth if. lauren: biden got key endorsement kamala harris mayor of detroit governor of michigan -- it seems like thingses are aligning for biden in michigan not to mention he did support the autobailout. which helped, helped michigan helped detroit. >> absolutely. you know, obama 2012 campaign that reelection effort emphasized autobailout time and again and it was a critical part of the reason why he won reelection. i think there's a long history with joe biden that's one with of the reasons why -- voters both in the south and i think seemingly in michigan based on latest polls are beginning to support them. they have a relationship with them. they know who he is, an they trust him. lauren: that makes game change per you will post michigan next debate. [laughter] an sanders versus biden on 15th. yeah. >> it will be interesting. they change format they're sitting down now. david thanks for joining us have a good day. >> thank you so much.

lauren and cheryl. cheryl: stay with us thank you as we, of course, continue to cover the coronavirus the death toll from the virus has rise opinion to more than 3800 worldwide and number of confirm cases here at home growing to at least 400. what are some steps that a healthy person can take to avoid contracting the coronavirus? let's bring in matt he's an infectious disease specialist. doctor, good morning. >> good morning. cheryl: let's talk about about that. because there's a limited amount of test which we'll get to in a second but what kind of healthy person do and maybe they can't stop being exposed but somewhat control how their body reacts to the virus? >> there's not much that you can do if you've been exposed but you can try to minimize your chance of exposure by washing your hands a lot and not touching your face as much but this is a virus that's spreading in the community so it is going to be very hard to completely avoid. there's not something specific you can do to kind of blunt response of your immune system to the virus or try to avoid it once you've been exposed kind of

a matter of chance whether or not the infection takes or not. we with don't have preventive measures at this point so if you get exposed chances are a high exposure you may become symptomatic with it but may not have any kind of negative consequence. cheryl: let's talk about body in particular and responds to any virus even though the flu, the common cold, it is the immune system and there are thingses that you say that we can do to strengthen our immune system like staying hydrated and maybe, you know, not stressing so much if we can manage our stress levels. i think we've got points to bring up to viewers here but there are things to protect ourselves and strengthen immune system. >> justing being generally healthy is something that can help you peenged off viruses so you don't have severe symptoms that includes hydrated getting adequate sleep. control your stress making sure you have a nutritious diet all of those type of things are general health principles that help with it. cheryl: manage chronic

61 million americans were infected we do need to have testing not only in numbers and availability. but we need to get rid of the bureaucracy needed for a test and you can't sit at your computer if you're a doctor and push a button and order test the way you can for an hiv or flu test. you have to go through a lot of bureaucracy internally at the hospital. paperwork, you have to make sure that test is proofed even if you're a doctor. so it is not a seemless as a people think it is. it's really cumbersome to order and need to be in hands of doctors to order like a flu test. cheryl: thank you very much for giving us this advice i think people needed it today. thank you, sir. >> thank you. lauren: here's a look at hls making news this morning costco showing they sell more than false items recently sold a 360 engagement ring sold last week to undisclosed buyer and sold 400,000 dollars. well one company ising loo to make it easier than ever for you to get a fresh pizza.
