we'll have you all back. it has been a very busy day. [closing bell rings] there is the closing bell. we see a rare rally, dow closes up 184 points. be sure to tune on twitter @lizclaman 6:00 p.m. eastern. i will give you the breaking futures numbers. melissa: look at that. a little bit of a relief on wall street. major averages reversing earlier losses, moving into the green as the federal reserve reveals new measures to protect the economy from the coronavirus pandemic. the dow closing up 191 points led by shares of mcdonald's, disney, goldman sachs. i'm melissa francis. connell: i'm connell mcshane. welcome, everybody, to aft the become. the s&p and nasdaq ending positive. 11 point gauge for the s&p. 160 or 2.3% for the nasdaq. the first day in eight trading days for any of major averages not to be up or down of 4%.

we had major swings top to bottom but not that high at the end. plenty of developments to cover on news front with fox business team coverage. reporters all over the place. ashley webster with the markets here in new york. edward lawrence covering things on capitol hill. blake, we start with you with the latest from the white house. reporter: treasury secretary steve mnuchin told maria bartiromo this morning that the administration would like to see $1000 deposited into the bank accounts of adult americans. $500 for the children as well on top of that. as part of a trillion dollar stimulus package that the administration is negotiating up on capitol hill. vice president chief of staff told us this afternoon, they believe that package could make its way to the president's signature next week. earlier today during the president's daily briefing as it has become, he was asked if the trillion dollars was sufficient?

>> we'll know about that later on. we'll see what happens. it depend how long, so much depends on what is going on in this room in terms much the medical. if we can stop it in its tracks, the virus, it's plenty. if we can't, we'll have to go back and talk. reporter: president trump this afternoon also spoke with the nation's governors during his visit to fema's national response coordination center. wisconsin governor's asked the hospitality workers to be involved in any relief package which the president supported. during exchange with michigan's governor, the president opened up possibility much automakers receiving government help. >> conversations happen around industry. we will keep this important sector front and center. >> you're right 100%. we're watching auto sector very much we're helping them at least a little bit. we have requested some help.

it wasn't their fault what happened. we'll take care of the auto industry. reporter: over at the state department they are warning mention against international travel. this is the updated guidance from foggy bottom saying quote, u.s. citizens who lynch in the united states should arrange for immediate return to the united states unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. it goes on to say u.s. citizens who remain abroad should aroad all international travel. connell? connell: all right, blake. ashley webster on the markets. quick word on the floor of the new york stock exchange. it was on this show yesterday where the news broke that the floor will be closing as of monday but trading will continue electronically. >> yes. connell: there is a look at the floor now. a few people still on it. >> still milling. connell: milling around today and tomorrow and that's it. >> that's it. connell: keep that in mind. plenty of trading to talk about. >> by the way, quickly before i get into today's action, monday first time ever in the history

of new york stock exchange that the floor is closed but electronic trading goes on. there is a little fact for you at the next cocktail party. let's get to markets themselves. three-year low yesterday on the dow. we started off not in great shape. down almost two or 3%. the dow up 189 points. the s&p and nasdaq in particular. nasdaq up more than 2%, thanks to a turnaround in big tech stocks. that helped and also the energy sector. we'll get to that in a minute but i want to look at some really beat you know up sectors. let's begin with airlines. reports that generally throughout the airline industry the planes are flying are just 10 to 20% full and that number is going down by the way. it is estimated that the airlines are burning through, remarkably, 10 to $12 billion of cash per month. we know there could be a loan, bailout, whatever you want to call it of $50 billion, but that graphic there of airlines today

says it all, down again. kind of a quick look at financials. they had a turnaround today. a lot of talk of help from central banks and government, fiscal, monetary poll, supposed to help banks ease liquidity issues. we're seeing some return back up on the bank shares but not really making up for a huge drop we've seen. want to get into oil, that energy sector up, 14% of crude, up to 25 bucks. 37 cents a share. that by the way is the biggest percentage gain, daily percentage gain ever. you know what? on the other side of the equation, oil dropped yesterday 24%. so we're back to where we were on tuesday. still worst month that is for oil. you know the problem, connell and melissa, we know no matter what the oil patch does, the demand right now for oil just isn't there. connell: right and won't be for some time. >> exactly. connell: thank you, ashley webster. our panel, gary b. smith from

kadena group, fox business contributor, paul after after very sawn know like some people working from his office. the day we saw today, compared to what we saw yesterday where the seem was if it is not nailed down i'm selling i need to raise cash. any differences in sentiment you're picking up in the market today? >> not necessarily. you know, i think, i don't understand quite frankly why people react in such a short-term, you know, viewpoint. you have to take a long-term view here. one thing i would say to the viewers you know, at this point this is a bad situation but i wouldn't panic. i would take a long-term view. as bad as it is, as bad as it may get, again we don't know, what is important to fully understand is that hopefully unlike say 2008 financial crisis this will be relatively short-lived event. we're hopefully talking months, not years.

that is one thing people should keep in mind. maybe seeing a little bit of positivity in the markets today. this is both a public health crisis and an economic crisis. i think viewers should, you know, expect the worse but also expect that the government is going to do everything in its power, seems to be doing that, governments around the world to help mitigate impact. connell: we'll talk more about that in just a second, gary. they may do it in future. it is a question of how quickly that's coming, government help, maybe how it is structured. how does it help from investment point of view, in terms of your out look and how you plan for things if at all? >> tell you what, i can't be as optimistic as paul is because i've never been through this. i lived through 87, i wasn't trading you but lived through much everything else. no one here or anyone on this panel lived through a economic lockdown, if you will. maybe world war ii is our

closest equivalent but even then , already, you couldn't buy robber things, autos. you were out, seeing movies around stuff like that. now everyone just not spending. connell: i know. >> my other concern is, when they say, you know, they're going to send everyone $1000, you know, what is the thousand dollars? that's you know, maybe, for the average median income, maybe it is just a couple weeks of salvation? it's really nothing. even one trillion dollars that we're talking about on a 20 trillion-dollar economy, not going to buy us enough time. i would like to be optimistic, getting back to your point, when we get to maybe, i'm looking at dow 15,000 maybe? i mean that would be kind of where we had the breakout back in like the '80s. i just, i have never lived through this. so i'm in cash right now. i'm with paul, don't panic.

of course that is not going to help. i don't see the -- connell: you're not putting money back to work. >> no, not yet. connell: let me get to the point how it is all structured in washington. melissa. melissa: get over to edward lawrence at capitol hill with the congressional response to the coronavirus. ed? reporter: yeah, melissa this bill is moving through lightning speed in congress as fast as that could go. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said they will be here as long as it takes to get the bill done. he is hoping to have the language later on this afternoon to start negotiating with democrats on this. this is more direct than phase two. direct payments to the american people. blake mentioned $1000. treasury secretary wanted for each adult. source familiar with the negotiations, $1200 in two checks for each adult. $500 for kids. my colleague hillary vaughn, for people making under$75,000 or

less. in between 75,000 and 95,000, those would not be eligible. >> no tangled washington process with thousand cooks in the kitchen, no forms for laid off workers or busy families to fill out, money for people, from the middle class on down period. reporter: phase three stimulus would include low interest government guaranteed backed loans for small businesses. grant money to small businesses to be used to pay only employees rent or mortgages. that is designed to keep them going, keep them going under or laying off workers. the package will have a bailout for certain industries would include only loans. >> if we go to the airlines we need to help save them, there is no question about it. one could argue that is not market forces. we're in an extraordinary time but to own the airlines is a mistake in my view. let's be sure the loans are collateralized.

they should be collateralized by assets air have. reporter: the bill makes sure hospitals are funded fully and medical centers have supplies they need. treasury secretary very involved with senators trying to negotiate this back and forth to make sure something the administration wants. melissa? melissa: edward, thank you. connell: coronavirus pandemic really only increased america around really the world's dependence on amazon to get everyday goods. a warehouse worker though did test positive here in new york last night for the virus. susan li joins us with more on all that. susan? susan: first known case in fulfillment center for amazon. five employees over on the european sign tested positive for covid-19 as well. as you mentioned this amazon warehouse worker is from the queens district, delivery station out there in new york. apparently amazon telling us they are receiving medical attention. if you bring up the statement, say we are supporting this individual who is now in quarantine in addition to

enhanced daily deep cleaning. we closed the queens delivery station for additional sanitation and sent associates home with full pay. this is the first warehouse worker confirmed but in the seattle headquarters amazon confirmed that one of it employees tested positive for coronavirus. they are advising the employees to stay home through end of march. this only applies to the corporate offices. as you mentioned looks like business is booming at amazon with people being quarantined, saying home, they are ordering online instead. amazon is hiring 100,000 extra warehouse fulfillment delivery workers, paying extra $2 an hour on top of the 15-dollar minimum wage. the stock has outperformed in the last month compared to the other technology counterparts. speaking of technology, i want to highlight uber for you today. up 30%. it was trading -- this stock went out in its ipo at $45 a piece. we heard the uber ceo, dara

assuring we have cash on hand. ride segment, 60 to 70% decline since people were told not to travel. according to my reporting he says we have ample liquidity and ways to control costs and rides will rise once coronavirus passes. connell: susan li for us. melissa: gary and paul are back. gary, i'm a little too nervous to go with you after that last answer. i will start with paul. >> i don't blame you. melissa: so, amazon workers, i mean, this is an interesting case. you look at amazon's fortunes could go anyway on one hand. i can't even get a delivery from their grocery service, like everybody has hammered amazon. what you need right now. you need, you will order at home from amazon. at the same time you could have something happen like, you know, one much their workers as they said tested positive. then we have no idea where this

virus is going. they could tell us tomorrow it would be transmitted x, y, z, way, all of sudden thought it was safe to get stuff from amazon. i'm not saying that hasn't happened but we keep learning every day that there is so much we don't know about the virus. what do you think about amazon given all of that? >> i like it. i think susan sums it up. melissa: gary, we're not letting you talk. i'm kidding. paul, go first. then we'll let you talk. paul, go ahead. >> i'm optimistic. melissa: that's why you're going first. >> somebody should be designated to big to fail in this environment, that should be amazon. if your family is anything like mine, we rely, continue to rely heavily on amazon. i agree some delivery issues have been frustrating. what is concerning as you look at supply chain, delivery operation amazon has, right now it seems that, most of the cardboard packaging that the coronavirus can live up to 24 hours on that packaging.

so you know, it is concerning that it could be spreading. i think, you know, i read people that leave the amazon packages on their doorstep for 24 hours before bringing them in the house or open packages outside. we're not doing that we probably should. melissa: i guess you probably don't lick the box either. gary, you have to get it as far as we know for now on water droplet. go ahead. >> yeah. just don't use the prime delivery. get the normal amazon delivery. by then the coronavirus should be gone. i'm with paul on this one though. i guess the kind of paraphrasing what susan said, the good trade would be to be long amazon and short, you know the qqq if you will. you got to think, amazon's going to outperform the rest of the nasdaq. paul's exactly right, if we can't rely on amazon at this point -- melissa: fold it up. go to the moon or something. >> yeah.

we just all shut in and shut everything down. do like amazon. melissa: guys, thank you. connell. connell: nobody get as trip to the moon. look at numbers, more than 236,000 cases worldwide where we stand. 10,700 right here in the u.s. we're trying to keep you updated with perspective for the rest of the globe and curve and all that. italy the country with most cases outside of china. no sign after flattening of the curve unfortunately. u.s. still growing exponentially as well. cases did surpass south korea which managed to flatten its curve the last couple weeks. in terms after daily change, cases in china up by just .06% from yesterday. so, there is really hardly any growth at all in china. italy still going up 13% in a day. the u.s. exploding, we knew this with the testing. 65% in cases just since yesterday whereas south korea, which we mentioned at the low

end there, showing you what increase in cases looks like, when you do have a so-called flattened curve. melissa: plus ramping upwrought up protocols across the nation. new york testing 7500 people a day. officials still sounding the alarm on hospital preparedness. we'll talk to a emergency room doctor about his experience on the front line next. because your investments deserve the full story. t. rowe price invest with confidence. from anyone else. so why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms which most pills don't. get all-in-one allergy relief for 24 hours, with flonase. and i like to question your whii'm yoevery move.n law. like this left turn. it's the next one.

♪. connell: facing a challenge like never before new york's health care system under stress, treating patients with covid-19 as number of confirmed cases continues to spike across this state. it is not just older people at risk. young people are starting to make up a larger portion of coronavirus hospitalizations in the united states. nearly 40%, as a matter of fact, are people between the ages of 20 and 54. according to new data coming in from the cdc. with us now is one of the doctors fighting on the front line, dr. reed caldwell nyu langone emergency medical center. dr. caldwell, thank for joining us today. people were startled to hear it when it came from the cdc can

you give us any insight on ages of patients coming in at nyu langone? >> yes, hi, thanks for having me. we were expecting to see an older population heavily hit by covid-19. we are seeing a large number of patients in the age range that you mentioned, the 30 to 50, 30 to 60-year-old age range. connell: in severity of the cases is it different by age? another thing we saw from the cdc data, many of the deaths are from the older people even with the hospitalizations with somewhat younger people? >> i think that's right. we are seeing some variability and some unpredictability with who is getting quite sick and who is having the patients which are having mild to moderate symptoms. connell: i want to broaden the discussion a little bit. there is so much discussion about hospitals overwhelmed at

some point and already understress. there was opinion piece written in "the new york times" by a new york based doctor, i don't think she identified her hospital, -- cornelia griggs, we're moving at a health crisis moving at a speed and scale never withinned by living generations. cracks of system is splayed open like a gashing wound. no matter how it plays out life will look different for all of us. dr. caldwell said the sky is falling. i'm not afraid to say that. i'm not alarmist. what do you see, like on a day-to-day basis where you are? >> it certainly goes without saying we're in a tough time. i would say i'm both concerned and i'm proud. i'm concerned about resources, whether it be respiratory isolation beds, masks for staff, ventilators, or supplies of medications, we're concerned across the country.

we all remain focused on conservation, sourcing of these key items. i'm also proud, hard work and focus resilience i have seen across the many people who are the face of health care over the last few weeks. there has been much deserved praise the incredible work doctors and nurses are doing. health care system requires food service, lab scientists and ems doctors to name a few. i'm proud of whole resilience from our team. connell: you should be. what do you need the most and how quickly do you need it before there is extreme stress? >> the two things i would say we need the most, one, we need masks. we need, we need the government to help us with masks. two, we need everybody in the country to work to match their level of symptoms with the appropriate level of care. we really need just the sickest patients to be in the emergency room and in the hospital. connell: so what if someone feels symptoms, what should they

do? what are their other alternatives you're recommending as opposed to coming into you? >> people with mild symptoms refer to web-based resources like health departments and cdc. people with mild to moderate symptoms need to rely on telephone or telehealth platforms to be seen and to be evaluated. and then again the sickest patients need the 911 system and the emergency medicine system. connell: all right. we'll keep watching that situation especially with the masks. all the best to you, everybody working with you, dr. caldwell. keep us updated as needs increase. we appreciate you coming on with us today. >> thanks for having me. connell: yep. melissa: reaching out to their communities. although many small businesses are hurting during this outbreak, one restaurant owner is finding a way to give back. plus ignoring the advice of health officials as some americans are choosing to the bend the rules. all over the country especially in the beach communities.
