>> in a time of forced isolation, reminders of connection are absolutely vital. that is one of the things that this is indicating. david: at very least, take care of people on your left and your right. that is least we can two. that does it for "bulls & bears." see you next time. >> welcome to the evening edit, we're on breaking news more. stocks break the worst day since 87. president trump said it may be over by july or august. investor are jittery. we're talking rapid fire day-to-day swings seen even in 2008. the velocity of trading jolting wall street. we'll tell you about information nobody seen before what hedge funds are talking about if just a second. get to what the white house said today. we're out with new guidelines in d.c. at the outbreak of the

coronavirus. health professionals warn we are days away it hitting the u.s. in a bigger way. fox news's mark meredith with more in washington. mark, the administration, 15 days to slow the spread. we can get it under control by august earliest of july. the president looking at lock downs potentially for certain hot spot areas? is that what happened? >> a lot going on as you mentioned. white house starting with new guidelines helping americans combat the spread of the coronavirus. guidance comes as president trump said u.s. may face recession from the outbreak. latest numbers though. the number of cases coronavirus right now, over 181,000. number of death worldwide and climbing. number of cases 4200 that number on the rice. more people get tested. number of deaths at 72, those are expected to climb. with the numbers on the rise, cdc is rolling out new guidelines for americans to stay

safe. >> my administration is recommending that all americans, including the young and healthy work to engage in schooling from home when possible. avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people. avoid discretionary travel, avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants, and public food courts. reporter: there are some more recommendations if you feel sick, stay home, do not go to work. contact your medical provider. the cdc recommending if your children are sick, keep them at home. don't send them to school and contact their medical provider f someone in the household tested positive for the coronavirus, keep the entire household at home. that recommendation from the cdc. at this hour we're watching capitol hill. that is where lawmakers are trying to reapprove their aid package that was approved early saturday. that is in the house. there were technical corrections that needed to be made. then it will make its way over to the senate. >> the senate is committed to meeting these uncertain times with bold and bipartisan

solutions. senators on both sides spent the last several days carefully studying the house proposal. we're all interest in acting quickly to support american workers, families and small businesses. reporter: at this hour it remains unclear when exactly the senate takes up the legislation. tonight there was report of a cyberattack at health and human services. hhs says the operations are fully operational but it must continue to monitor the integrity of the i.t. infrastructure. a lot going on tonight. elizabeth: mark meredith, thank you. we have the leading voices showing the way for our nation in the fight to stop the outbreak. they are the top names in health care, in crisis management for major cities. the leading voices around the country also in the senate around beyond. they're trying to get us into the end zone, get this thing over with. okay, trading on the new york stock exchange halted for a third time in about a week. stocks dropped after historic

emergency action by half a dozen central banks around the world including the fed. estimated $11 trillion wiped off the russell 3,000. now that index is back at november 2016 levels. the white house joining with democrats today with even more government response. breaking news is crossing now. treasury secretary steve mnuchin is now talking to republicans on capitol hill, watch this. potentially $750 billion more in stimulus. we may get to a vote on that possibly later this week. now here is what wall street is talking about. world markets reacting to this chart. this is a chart hedge funds are looking at. it shows the confirmed cases per 10,000, spiking relentlessly higher. it shows italy versus the u.s. okay. so you see the track there. that is what is scaring people on wall street. markets are looking for a peak, then a drop in cases, as government officials now say, the best shot at going back to

normal restoring normality, restoring economic activity, dramatically ramp up testing. do what government officials say, buckle down now. let's bring in one of our favorite guests, a friend of the show. the host of the wildly dr. oz show, dr. mehmet oz. great to have you, doctor. >> thank you very much. elizabeth: your reaction what the white house says, 15 days we have to get it under control before it hits hard? >> i think it is accurate. i spoke this morning to dr. adams, who is the surgeon general. we went through the numbers as well. the only thing i would point out, it may not take until july or august to get through the meat of this problem. two weeks, takes for about two weeks any public health initiative to really show a benefit, we'll see things that happened over the last couple days will be impactful as we hope. ideally may not slow the growth completely but dramatically change its course. so it is not skyrocketing

towards orbit. with that especially major urban areas like new york. bill de blasio told me on friday, he expected 1000 case this is week. we're already in the 400s. we'll hit there. that is not the main story. if we slow the ascent and get management on old people that don't die, we have medications that are beneficial, every day we get better and better than that we'll see a different attitude towards folks. i'm hoping next two months we'll be able to ride this out as weather warms, we get benefit of compounded with social distancing tactics, the country will feel safe. elizabeth: how does the u.s. turn i had around? how do we get into the end zone? do you want to see fema, national guard, ramming up rapid fire tests in major cities? should fema move on hospitals in areas? they are saying they are asking for tests but they're not

getting them. white house asking for drive-through sites, 2000 commercials sites, is that the problem? >> we don't have testing right now, period. most people cannot get a test as they desire. i know friends who gotten tested told to come back in a week, hope they have the result by then. the test takes hour 1/2, two hours to do. so the backlog and, the awkwardness of getting, clunkiness of getting the test is not up to snuff. and it is very difficult to make predictions and make actions come true if you have no idea what the real data is. but the testing itself will not save lives by itself. what will save lives is social distancing and basic hygiene that has been taught. i have to say, i think a lot of people are getting the message. there are still a ton of americans saying, what are you talking about? there is not that many deaths. not that dangerous, making a big deal about nothing. it is possible, i will put it out there, it is possible that

public officials are not taking bigger and bolder steps that might seem reasonable but if they're right, they're saving lives f they're wrong, and they don't act in time it, will be too late and we'll become italy. elizabeth: sorry, doctor, i'm showing now. we popped up a chart that is really key, wall street is talking about. you see the yellow line, italy. the usa line is orange. it is tracking along italy at the bottom. the purple line is china. what they're saying a spike higher in italy cases. they're afraid the u.s. line is tracking italy fever line. i know it is complicated this is a chart that is scaring wall street. this is the chart that is blowing up hedge funds. this is what big money on wall street is talking about. when does this peak? when will we see it peak and plateau? how long do you think it lasts? >> if, italy is two weeks ahead of us. if we intervened as i believe we

did in nick of time, we won't quite see the ascent there. they have another major benefit the american health care system is able to really deal with critical illnesses italy didn't prove capable of doing it. italy was so overwhelmed, we have stories of nurses and physicians triage people who get care and who doesn't. your question is good one. if we need to we have to mobilize hospital beds. hopefully the pandemic will not hit like that. slowing it down by suffocating it. dribs and drabs of patients instead of a lot. you saw people go after toilet paper. if they head into the ers we have a problem. elizabeth: "dr. oz," good to here from you. >> take care. elizabeth: same here. republican senator, dr. bill cassidy, what works and what

doesn't. also he will weigh in on the 2020 debate last night on the democrats, how, also how can the government get the country in the end zone, get this virus over and done with? that debate next. ♪.

ohio saying today it will try to file a lawsuit to extend voting in its primary to june 2nd. their primary was scheduled for tomorrow along with arizona, florida, and illinois. now joe biden and senator bernie sanders debated last night. it started with a biden-bernie elbow bum. let's bring in my next guest, louisiana senator, he is a doctor, senator bill cassidy. great to see you, senator. your reaction to the debate last night? >> i think two old guys who longed for better years. one kind of a communist, isn't castro great and the other guy not far behind, but neither of them if you will, forward-looking where our economy and our society is going. elizabeth: first, let's break this one down. biden went after bernie sanders. bernie praised china where the coronavirus outbreak first exploded. biden says china has been a problem, that china actually was basically a communist country. that is what pushed it into poverty. capitalism brought it out of it. listen to joe biden going after

bernie sanders last night. watch. >> the idea of occasionally saying something nice about a country is one thing. the idea of praising a country that is violating human rights around the world is in fact makes our allies wonder what's going on. what do you think the south koreans think when we, he praises china like that? what do you think, what do you think the australians belief in the shadow of china? what do you think is happening in indonesia in the shadow of china? what do you think is happening in terms of japan in the shadow of china? words matter. these are flat-out dictators, period. they should be called for it. elizabeth: senator joe biden pointed out that bernie sanders voted against sanctions against russia for, he votes against sanctioning russia for interfering in u.s. elections. your reaction to that? >> i totally agree with joe's assessment where bernie has been. i would now challenge joe. where was he as vice president

in the obama administration for eight years when china systematically stole our intellectual property, manipulated their currency, did everything they could do move jobs out of middle america over to china? >> the obama-biden administration did not confront that. they pretended it was not an issue. they passed policies made it more likely to occur. yes, bernie was more up front but if you will, biden was more compliant with what chinese attempted to do to our economy. elizabeth: we're looking also into what works and what doesn't in health systems. we're fact-checking, digging in. bernie sanders last night, basically was talking again about government-run health care. he was praising it. he basically was saying, yes, we should have government-run health care. joe biden said, you're wrong. the coronavirus shows bernie, you are wrong. it -- italy has single-payer

system. claire mccaskill says bernie is wrong. government health care would not work in face of pandemics. your reaction to that? >> in fairness nothing will necessarily work in the face of the pandemic if the pandemic is so overwhelming but on other hand say "medicare for all" would be solution the pandemic that came here that is absurd. look at lombardi which is completely overwhelmed with resources that are inadequate to meet. we look basically ultimate single payer in china. again we see it was inadequate to meet. we have to make sure that our system is adequate to meet but the fact we have kind of a fluidity of resources that can move from here to there, that is not typical of government-run resources. that is typical after private market that responds to supply side demand if you will. elizabeth: we have hope. we have the first vaccine clinical trial today. nih funding it. kaiser permanente washington health research center seattle.

novio its vaccine. a big push in canada and israel, identifying patients with china with 500 different antibodies in them. maybe that could lead to vaccines. would single-payer government run systems lead to faster vaccines and antiviral vaccines? >> it squashes innovation because in order to make ends meet, you squeeze every supplier of every product. in our system, frankly we have costs that are too high, but one thing that can occur is great innovation. people realize they will recoup the investment that which is innovative. that is why the united states always led the world in innovation both in terms of how we practice medicine, medical devices, also vaccines and pharmaceutical products, if there's a cure, 90% chance it comes from ip, intellectual property developed in the united states of america. elizabeth: senator, great to see you. come back soon.

>> thank you, liz. elizabeth: we'll take you next to the front lines, how to best protect and save the people who want to protect and save you. we have dr. susan bobo, one of the country's leading breast cancer surgeons and her breakthrough plan to organize and protect the doctors and nurses on the front line in their response to this virus. got the plan for seven hospitals in new york and connecticut. how this doctor is saving lives of health professionals working to help and save you. that story next. in the transportation industry without knowing firsthandness the unique challenges in that sector? coming out here, seeing the infrastructure firsthand, we can make better informed investment decisions. that's why i go beyond the numbers.

i appreciate it. white house says we have 15 days to slow it. others say just eight. your reaction to just that? >> i think we're really in the unknown. we're about 10 days behind italy. so we do have something to follow in and really need time prove on what they have done. is it eight days, is it 15 days? i think that is a little difficult to say though. elizabeth: what happens when a doctor or a nurse gets sick? >> the problem is, if one of us gets exposed or sick, our whole office then is in self-quarantine for several weeks that impacts the whole medical community. elizabeth: what will you do to help? >> our goal to protect the patient to make sure they're safe. we need to protect the doctors and nurses so we can be there to take care of patients. so what we're doing at nuvan

health, in offices we're really splitting offices in two so that we are physically separating the office staff. so if one of the, if one person in the office staff is exposed, we don't lose the entire staff on self-quarantine. that is so we can be there to continue to take care of patients. elizabeth: like a team a and team b, plan is that right, a back up team? >> exactly and that is what we've devised through our whole cancer system at uvan. elizabeth: reaction to this we know "the new york times" and other media is reporting if you stop one infection today, instead after week from now you will avert four times as many infections in the next month. what new york governor cuomo says the government has to step up and hospitals don't have the capacity. let's listen to this. >> we have an impending catastrophe when this wave of growth crashes on the hospital

system and we don't have the capacity. start now. bring in that army corporation of engineers. this is what they did, they build. i will give them dormitories. build temporary medical facilities but they have to do it. i'm not shy but a state doesn't have the capacity to build that quickly to that level. elizabeth: your reaction to that? >> i think we clearly need the help of the federal government here. i think that we have been getting some help but we need more help from them. we do need to prepare, we do need to have hospital beds. we need ventilators. this is not about panic and fire. helping people understand what is going on. they can help, they can help by social distancing. they can help by staying home. we really need everyone's help to combat the incredible problem. elizabeth: does the u.s. have enough hospital beds? does it have enough ventilators? >> it is a great question.

i think if we have a spike in virus cases today, no, we don't. that is what it is all about. it is about flattening the curve much more people need to understand what that means. we cannot stop the virus but we want to slow it down. elizabeth: what happens if you get it? you go in, the hospital gives you nebulizers, anti-inflorida tories? by the way does everybody have to be tested? >> you mean population testing? no. but if you have any symptoms you should be tested. elizabeth: all right. >> everyone does not get hospitalized. i mean right now we're looking at a rate of about 17 to 20% of patients with this do get hospitalized. the rest can stay at home. elizabeth: okay. that's interesting information. doctor, can we call upon you in the future, bring you back on? >> absolutely. thank you so much. elizabeth: great stuff there from dr. susan boboloo, leading

breast cancer surgeon in the country with a great plan to protect the front line and hospitals. just ahead we take you to the front lines of emergency operations for new york city. how the city and new york state are mobilizing quickly as people around the country increasingly say yes. new york officials are showing solid leadership. dryian chriswell, head of new york city's emergency management, our guest next. cologuard:

organization says the new eppy center of this pandemic is in europe. at midnight tonight more travel restrictions will be put in place, banning all foreign nationals from ireland and united kingdom from coming into the united states. this extends the ban that includes china, iran and 26 other european nations. also today the european union announced its plan to ban travel into the eu for a minimum of 30 days. >> non-essential travel should be reduced right now. to in order not to spread the virus further, be it within the european union or, by leaving the european union, but also, to avoid non-essential travel, not to have more potential strain on our health care systems. reporter: american citizens, permanent u.s. residents and their families are allowed to enter the u.s. through 13 designated international

airports offering enhanced entry screenings. passengers have to fill out a medical questionnaire. some get their temperatures checked. all are required to self-quarantine for 14 days. the line at one point at jfk was reportedly 45 minutes long. over the weekend these lines were as long as seven hours at some of these airports. the department of homeland security has apologized and added additional staffing. meantime the airlines, they are empty and so are the airports. as a result, the u.s. airline are making historic cuts. united airlines cut back 50% of its flight capacity. american airlines has cut 75% of its international flights, and delta air lines has cut back 40% of its flight capacity. today the airline industry asked the government for $50 billion right now. here is what president trump had to say. >> we're going to back the airlines 100%, not their fault. it is nobody's fault, unless you go to original source but it is

nobody's fault. and we're going to be in a position to help the airlines very much. reporter: liz, in the lines here at newark, we talked to some passengers. they only had to wait 15 minutes for their screening. all in all, liz, a very, very precarious situation for the airline industry. there are 10 million industry jobs on the line. a lot of worried people at this airport. liz? elizabeth: bryan, great reporting, good to see you, bryan llenas at newark airport. let's get updated quickly before we turn to my next guest, what the president did today. he was out with very blunt talk. he said next 15 days, it is necessary to buckle down. he is basically saying that we could be headed for a recession but it is all hands on deck. the president and the government is going to basically put a lot of money on this we're talking now $750 billion more in spending on the coronavirus outbreak. that could happen this week, the vote. let's bring in diane chriswell.

she oversees and coordinates new york city's emergency response, this outbreak. diane chriswell served as a top leader at people marks responsible for leading fema's response to major disasters. a member of a colorado air national guard. deanne chriswell served 21 years as a firefighter and deputy fire chief. thank you for your time, deanne. thanks for joining us. thanks for your service to our country. we know you're really busy right now. i want to start by saying new york city and u.s. leaders getting praise for leadership and response. what is happening now, deanne? >> liz, thank you so much for having me on today. as you mentioned and can probably imagine this is an incredibly busy time. we are putting in measures to make sure that we can protect new yorkers, and help limit the spread of this virus. changing every day. we get new information about it.

so our actions ramp up accordingly. we're making new decisions every day to help limit the spread. elizabeth: will new york city should -- shut down? >> we're constantly looking at thing we can do to stop the spread of virus. we put a lot of measures in place already. we closed schools. we shut down bars and restaurants starting 8:00 p.m. tonight. we closed our senior centers. we're putting all of these measures that we can in place but we also understand people need to do things in their daily lives. they need to get gross i ares. they need to get prescriptions filled. those that can't telework, they need to get to work. we're making sure people can get those people the pieces of their lives accomplished. >> we're showing a live look at time square, how it emptied out. we are in historic times. is work underway in new york

city and mayor's office to shut the city down? >> again we're learning new things every day what needs to happen to limit the spread of this. i would say anything and everything is on the table and we're making those decisions really hour by hour of what we need to do. elizabeth: how long does the city think this crisis will last? the white house, the president saying july or august? we're, we're talking to as many people as we can. what do you think? you served our country in so many different ways. what do you think? how long do you think this will last? when does it peak? >> so we're looking at the peak. i think the biggest thing that will impact that peak is how well we as new yorkers and rest of america implement these social distancing measures. the more we can implement those, if you don't have to go out, don't go out f you're sick, stay at home. if you can telework, telework. the more we get compliance with that, the more we can implement that. we will slow down the peak.

but we are planning on july, august, or even into september before we really see a significant relief from this. elizabeth: understood. that is important information. 38 countries now doing travel bans and restrictions. canada shutting its border. the white house is talking more drive-through testing sites to open around the country. will the new york city area, will new york state do drive--through testing where you don't need a doctor? let me start with that. drive-through testing is that coming? >> it is. i have fema in my emergency operations center right now. we'll be standing up five drive-through testing sites. one in each borough. we're working on specifics where exactly those will be. i want to emphasize, it is really important, the drive-through testing sites are not the general population to walk up to get a test. we're prioritizing make sure we help our health care workforce and first-responders and then

those must vulnerable, over 50 with the preexisting conditions. while we're putting up the drive-through test sites, it is really important for everybody to know these are designed to protect those that are the most vulnerable and those that need to keep the government running. elizabeth: deanne, you're terrific. thank you so much for your service to our country. commissioner deanne chriswell. new york city emergency management department. we love to have you back on, commissioner. good to have you on. thank you so much. >> thank you as well. elizabeth: commissioner chriswell said possible shut down in new york city. they say stop the politics. the president is stepping up in a big way unlike any president we've seen before. pushing public, private partnerships. experts say that is what needs to get done. now he is doing it. we're bringing on a mayor after big town in new jersey. we'll get his reaction. the mayor talking about what d.c. is doing. he has cases in his town.

communications. we've been dealing with state health officials, county executives, representatives from the governor's office. at the same time, making sure we have all the most up to date information so we communicate with our residents. as you can imagine? yes? elizabeth: mayor, continue, finish your thought? >> as you can emergency these type of situations everyone gets very nervous. we're doing everything possible to make sure everyone has updated information. >> here is the thing. it is really contagious in close quarters. it is very contagious in tight close quarters. it leads to respiratory failure, lesions on the lungs, pneumonia. it is scary for people. the president is stepping up. he has been hit with a barrage of criticism that he didn't move fast enough in the beginning of the outbreak. may have used words like he

downplayeded it, to ramp up testing, the u.s. government is reacting to. have you reached out to the federal government? >> we have been working with the states. one of the things difficult here for anyone understanding how to handle a situation, we have never crossed this bridge before, right? this is something that is unprecedented. it is time to step back and stop playing the blame game. we have to figure out how to get this done. show bipartisan measures being taken now, to help all of us get together and, and find a way to help contain and prevent the spread of the virus. elizabeth: you're right. we need to stop the politics. it is a distraction, guesting us into the end zone. listen to cnn dan abash here, the trump administration is doing it right with public/private sector partnerships and more. a historic show of force.

watch this. >> what we saw there, more broadly was, like, as close to a akin to a war effort as we have seen in a long time. the government partnering with private sector companies, that do this and doing it in a way that i think will make people feel a lot better, at least the show of force as andre called it than we saw in the oval office couple days ago. elizabeth: we are in different times with that reaction and show of force. your reaction, mayor? >> again, not really taking political views. the important thing for to us do what we can. pour people to understand, once you have a confirmed case of a disease of the virus in your communities. it is a series of protocols have to be followed. elizabeth: we understand that, yeah. >> right now the first part of that is what we call contact tracing which is essentially reis tracing places the person

was visited and notify people that may come back in contact with them. elizabeth: i want to break in. we're showing again. this is interesting information. it is a heat map that scientists around the world are talking about. it shows a literally gulf stream of viruses in latitude and longitude where the viruses do like to thrive and exist in about 41 to 55-degrees fahrenheit. that information may help dealing with the pandemic. that is what the information that we're seeing right now. likes to exist in 49 to 79% humidity. it is longitude and latitude. you see it darker towards the middle. it moves from east to west out of china and crosses through europe, certainly africa and see the united states there. we're staying on the science on this. we'll get more information from global virologists.

we have been reaching out to talk to them. what do you need now, mayor, if you can wrap this up? what do you need? >> right now what we're asking everyone to do is to adhere of practices of social distancing. and also to adhere to the non-pharmaceutical preventative measures prescribed by the cdc. the most important thing right now is just to prevent the spread, to contain and prevent the spread and ride it out as warmer weather science shows us as slower chance of producing other cases. >> thank you, mayor of ridgewood, new jersey. he is dealing with outbreak there. lou dobbs joins us now. great to see you, lou. >> liz, thank you very much. tonight the coronavirus pandemic, national security advisor robert o'brien joins us as does fox news medical correspondent dr. marc siegel on the latest on the wuhan virus. also joining us congressman louie gohmert who wants the house coronavirus relief bill

[♪] liz: breaking news coming in thick and fast. nascar is canceling races until may. the president, main announcement today. he's saying 15 days, let's buckle down, let's get it done. the other big part of the story it has to do with china. china's economic much worse than expected. china is in distress. critics say that's why they are out with a big campaign he blame the u.s. for the coronavirus outbreak. let's bring in retired general robert scales. we are talking about the foreign ministry spokesperson is ramping it up to blame the u.s. for this outbreak. >> this is what dictators do. it's part of their playbook.
