repatriated from abroad from wuhan and some of the cruise ships. the cases in the u.s. are spreading. we've seen them in florida, new york, california, oregon, washington, illinois and rhode island. many have no clear path to exposure and that suggests other cases out there are still undiagnosed. health officials are focused on the cluster of 10 cases in washington state. that includes the two deaths. all new reported cases there are residents of a nursing facility, the life care center in kirkland. they are the most vulnerable people. in rhode island, an academy has closed after a student and teacher there returned from a field trip to europe with the illness. students for the time being will be taught via virtual learning at home. in new york, the patient is a woman in her late 30s. she contracted the virus while traveling abroad in iran and is currently isolated at her home. vice president pence who heads up the administration's task force has announced more testing kits are being distributed across the u.s.

in washington state it was increased testing that led to the uptick in cases and that suggests the virus has been circulating unknown for weeks. president trump also announcing now tougher new screening procedures for travelers are being brought in, tweeting, coronavirus in addition to screening travelers prior to boarding from several high risk countries, they will also be screened when they arrive in america. thank you. around the world, the virus continues to spread as well and quickly. it's now in 64 countries and the number of deaths has approached 3,000 with 88,000 total cases. many places are shutting down. the louvre in france as well as many other museums, churches in south korea, disneyland in tokyo and major global events have been canceled. in iran, a leading member of the government, a member of the counsel advising the supreme leader has died while the vice president has also caught the illness. today president trump meets with leaders from the pharmaceutical industry talk about potential

more at work here, at least president trump thinks so. he tweeted this, pete buttigieg is out, all of the super tuesday voters will go to sleepy joe biden. great timing, this is the beginning of the dems taking bernie out of play, no nomination again. we did hear last night buttigieg and former vp biden were trying to connect with each other via phone. the remaining candidates wish pete well, got on with their super tuesday campaign blitz. 1357 delegates are at stake here, the biggest chunk california and that's where tens of thousands were feeling the burn sunday at a rally in los angeles and another one in san hansanjose. super tuesday could be a tight race. an nbc poll shows 26% of voters polled in north carolina support senator sanders, biden is close behind with 24%. in texas, sanders is dominating the field at 34% with biden at

19%. bloomberg at 15. and take a look at this, a boston gleb globe poll shows sas and warren locked in a tie in massachusetts, sanders with 24, warren at 22%. and get this, some early voters in california now asking if they can get a do-over since buttigieg dropped out. obviously the answer is no, they can't. but it just goes to show how much things can change in one day. super tuesday will definitely prove to be that next pivotal day. guys, back to you. rob: aishah, thanks so much. jillian: north korea fired two projectiles overnight. south korea believes they are short range ballistic missiles, flying 150 miles before landing in the ocean. the launches are the first since november, likely part of the rogue regime's military drills. kim jong un said the country would resume weapons demonstrations after talks with the u.s. stalled. a new peace deal between the u.s. and taliban is facing a

major roadblock. afghan's president says he will not comply with the timetable to release taliban prisoners. the deal calls for 5,000 fighters to be freed ahead of power sharing talks next week. if finalized, the deal would end america's longest war and bring thousands of troops home. rob: the milwaukee brewery where five people were gunned down is reopening doors today. extra security will be on hand at molson coors. overnight, hundreds of people held a milwaukee strong vigil for the victims, some used the opportunity to call for gun control. >> this is not acceptable to me. this can never be normal. we should not accept this as being simply okay. this is not just another night, another vigil. we have got to do something. rob: milwaukee police say the suspect built his guns with parts ordered online. a motive at this point remains unknown. a top immigration official was

unlawfully appointed to the job. an obama pointed judge ruled that ken cuccinelli should not have been the immigration director without senate approval. the judge said it violated the federal vacancies reform act. according to the judge, some of the decisions could be voided. cuccinelli serves as deputy homeland security secretary. we'll hear from him in the 8:00 hour of "fox & friends." jillian: it is election day in israel for the third time in one year. voters will select a prime minister and break the political deadlock. benjamin netanyahu is facing off against his former military chief, benny gantz. neither candidate was able to put together a coalition government after the last two elections. the race is predicted to be very tight. rob: today, mike pence will give the keynote address at the apac conference, expected to highlight the relationship

between the u.s. and israel in front of 1800 people. michael bloomberg is the only 2020 contender set to speak at the conference. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders boycotted the event, arguing it is biased against palestinians. jillian: beatles fans know you can't visit abby road without recreating the crosswalk photo. prince harry no exception. rob: he joined jon bon jovi outside the studios in london, recording a song for this year's invic tustus games. jillian: he steps down from royal duties at the end of the month. rob: fox news alert now, two deaths in washington state now linked to the coronavirus amid news it has spread for weeks undetected. so how can it be contained as a lot of people are worried about a panic setting in. dr. mark seagal says there is a silver lining to the growing

hysteria. he's here live to explain. jillian: i bet you didn't see this coming, the creative way one homeowner is trying to flush out crime. we're coming right back on a monday morning. ♪ don't go chasing waterfalls. ♪ please stick to the rivers and bethe lakes that you're used to. that chad really was raised by wolves? which one is your mother? that's her right there. oh, gosh. no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. it's really great. well, i'm just so glad to have met your beautiful family. and we better be sitting down now. believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

rob: welcome back. a fox news alert, the second coronavirus death here in the united states, researchers now believe the virus may have spread for weeks in washington state before the first diagnosis. jillian: can it be contained and what are the signs we need to watch for right now? joining us live is dr. mark seagal. thanks for being here. the conversation changed this weekend when we got the news of the two deaths. i think this takes it to another level. for people at home, wondering is this going undetected in my community, what do you say to them? >> it's pockets right now. people need be reassured that it hasn't spread widely across the u.s. at this point.

it's pockets, communities. note, it is the same washington state community where it started. but the point you already made is right, which is it likely spread undetected. why would it do that? i've been studying contagions for a long time. the thing that concerns me about this one is it is a very contagious virus. we need to be able to test it rapidly and figure out who has it and isolate people who have it. we don't have those tests yet. the cdc is currently working on getting a rapid test which is not yet developed. and also expanding the current testing they have. when we get the rapid test, that will be really terrific because i'll be able -- jillian: do you know when? >> that will be a few weeks away. i can take somebody, put them aside, you have a cough, high fever, very characteristics of this virus, high fever, isolate them, test them, get a result right away. that's what we need. rob: so let's take a look at a map here, showing the cases in the united states. we have more than 80 at this

point confirmed, two deaths in the northwest, you have washington, california, arizona, wisconsin, illinois, a bunch of states that have this. the president talked about how the flu dies, in the spring and when the warm weather comes around. what do you think the chances are this thing will dissipate as we start to get warmer. >> a lot of experts have spoken about it. respiratory viruses tend to be seasonal. what do i mean by that? they like dry weather and they like hot weather. they're on a respiratory droplet, it goes farther in dry and hot weather. when it's humid, the droplet drops to the ground. in the winter, we're huddled close together. in the summer we're farther apart and the virus doesn't spread as far. flu tends to die out in the late spring. jillian: is it fair to say we don't know yet? >> this one, we don't know yet. we can't say for sure. that's a theory we're hoping is true. jillian: let's take a look at some of the numbers.

a lot of people compare those the flu. as you see in the graphic that we have, this is coronavirus versus the flu. the rate of spread. you can see 2.2 coronavirus, 1.3 the flu. the death rate compared to the flu is 1.4% versus a flu at 0.1%. do those numbers startle you a little bit? >> i think the spread rate is probably right. i think it is more contagious than the flu. that concerns me. it's harder to contain, harder to know who gets it. the death rating we're going to find out it's lower than the numbers you put up there. you know why? because there's probably as we said at the very beginning many people who have had mild cases or even cases with no symptoms at all that we didn't know about. in china and around the world and even here. the more mild cases we see, the lower that means the death rate is. but it's concerning still. rob: all right. fair enough. the president expanding the travel restrictions, talking about maybe closing the southern border. this has gotten political in a lot of ways and he's gotten a

lot of heat for his decisions on this. what do you think so far? >> i think it's been made too political on both sides. i think a virus doesn't follow politics, borders or boundaries. i think the task force the president appointed has done a very good job for a very specific reason. they have many years of expertise. i've known tony fauci for many years. redfield is a virologist. cdc has very good people on it. it's not a matter of money. the money is being asked for now. it's a matter of getting the kits for testing. the work on the vac signs-vaccine is going at a tremendous pace. rob: there's talk from democrats that they could do so much better, the idea that somebody else in the white house this wouldn't spreading seems ridiculous. >> it is ridiculous. south korea and italy have more developed health care systems than china, we're getting real

information. we don't know if we're getting the right information from china. we're getting more accurate information and now we're jumping. jillian: it takes time to develop the vaccines, to go through the testing processes. >> especially in the united states, there's a lot of regulations. this is not on the president. this is a very, very, very vigilant public health response. rob: doctor. thanks again. jillian: the covington high school student smeared by the mainstream video ove -- mainstrm media over this video is increasing. rob: trump 2020 campaign pollster john mclaughlin is here to break down what is up for grabs tomorrow. ♪ [ siren ] give me your hand! i can save you...

jillian: good morning. welcome back. voters across 14 states will head to the polls tomorrow and potentially change the course of the 2020 election. and after a wild weekend on the campaign trail, which candidate is on track to win the delegates needed for the nomination? here to crunch the numbers is campaign pollster, john mclaughlin. good to see you. thank you for being here. let's talk about super tuesday. all eyes are focused there right now and let's begin talking about the democratic delegates that have been allocated so far. obviously, pete buttigieg, that was the news out of the weekend, no longer factor. you have jo jo joe biden closero bernie sanders at this point. >> biden was the big winner in south carolina. he closed the gap rapidly. tomorrow you have 14 states that will determine who will be the nominee, you have over 1300 delegates. the big two states when you look

at california and texas, what's amedication is, they've already cast -- what's amazing is, they've already cast a lot of these. when you look at texas and california, they've already cast a lot of their votes by early voting or by mail. and in california, we may not know who wins in california for weeks because they have until election day to post on tuesday, post it in the mail, and it takes time to come in. jillian: elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar have single digits at this point. >> if elizabeth warren gets over 15% of the vote, she gets delegates. she's still a factor. but what it's coming down to, prior to south carolina, sanders was ahead in nine of the 14 states and you had bloomberg win in three. bloomberg with his commercial and everything, it was horrible. jillian: you said he's surprised he's in this thing. >> he's going to get

embarrassed on tuesday. he's going to lose to a former socialist mayor of vermont. you have biden taking votes from him. biden could win some states. but sanders has -- jillian: let's talk about texas specifically. what do you think is going to happen there? >> texas is still close. that's a battle between sanders and biden. what's interesting is, in the past over the last 20 years, the african american vote decided the democrat nominee, whether it's clinton or whether it's gore or obama or hillary. now you have mexican americans in california and texas who are going to decide the winner of their nomination for california and texas. and that's why sanders did so well in nevada. he did very well with the latino vote. the latino vote is the vote to watch for california and texas. jillian: the amy klobuchar, there are a number of delegates that are available in her state. do you think that's going to play a fact snore. >> it will be a -- factor?

>> it will be a factor. it's her state. she should win. donald trump is going to win that state in november. we're playing to win that state. tuesday the big winner will be donald trump. as the division continues inside the democrat party, where you have a socialist, a democrat socialist leading their nomination process, the delegate count and the democratic establishment in a panic, trying to stop him, i mean, it's only good for us. jillian: we'll seen between person and joe biden, -- between bernie sanders and joe biden, after south carolina they're a little bit closer. thank you for being here. rob: now a fox news alert, the opening bell just hours away, much anticipated. will wall street shake off coronavirus jitters and put last week's huge downward spiral in the rear view? tracee carrasco coming up next with what to expect. also mayor pete now out so is this a two-man race, pitting the

rob: welcome back. a check of the top headlines this morning. we start with a fox news alert, the second coronavirus death in the united states reported in washington state. both deaths connected to a nursing home outbreak there. new york city and florida now reporting their first cases as well. in total there are at least 80 cases here in the united states. jillian: overnight, north korea firing two projectiles. south korea believes they are short range ballistic missiles, flying 150 miles before landing in the ocean. rob: the president holding a campaign rally in north carolina tonight ahead of super tuesday.

michael bloomberg is hoping to win support at tonight's fox news town hall. want to hear the former new york mayor speak? begins at 6:30 p.m. eastern time in virginia. jillian: concerns over the coronavirus growing overnight as we just mentioned, the second death confirmed in the united states. americans worried about more than just their health as financial fears plunge stocks. tracee carrasco from our sister network, fox business, here with what we can expect when markets open this morning. gone, tracee. >> let's take a look at friday's numbers. we did see losses across the board on friday. we did see the dow falling by 357 points, s&p dropping 24, the nasdaq eeking out a gain of 1 point. looking at futures this morning, a little bit of a relief rally this morning, we're looking at green on the screen, dow futures up by 201 points, s&p 500 futures up by 15 and-a-half, nasdaq futures up by 65. this after all three major u.s. averages coming off their worst

week since the financial crisis. all three major u.s. averages still in correction territory. we saw the dow falling 12.4% for the week, shaving off about 3500 points. all of this as investors worry about the economic fallout from the coronavirus epidemic. we got a little bit of a relief rally at the end of the day on friday, i want to mention after fed chairman jerome powell signaled that the central bank prepares to cut interest rates to protect the economy from the widening global slowdown. hopefully we sustain the green on the screen because it's been volatile this last week. we'll see. rob: get some of your 401-k back. thank you so much. pete buttigieg calling it quits as joe biden heads into super tuesday after a blow-out win in south carolina. >> i think it's a big boost. i think it starts the real comeback. we have a long, long way to go. this is a marathon.

i feel good about where we are. i think things are picking up. but we'll see. rob: so with the shift in momentum, are the democrats looking at a two-man race between biden and bernie? joining us to debate that, democratic strategist, wendy and joe. how do you think joe looks going into super tuesday. >> i think joe looks strong. i think the propelling of him moving forward in south carolina is good for his campaign and the rumors around the democratic party is buttigieg and his campaign, they are trying to join around biden. that is going to be another push for him, that is something else to propel him forward. i think it's interesting that we have buttigieg dropping out but we still have warren, we still have klobuchar. rob: klobuchar. >> still in the race. rob: way back. it is interesting. biden has some issues going into super tuesday. he doesn't seem too confident about super tuesday. he's had no rallies in any of

these states in more than a month. he put everything into south carolina as he was running out of money. sanders, look at how many offices he has in california, bernie is big in california, outspending on tv ads. what do you think happens here tomorrow? >> it's like joe biden himself didn't expect to be in super tuesday. i think biden deserves credit. he delivered an old fashioned shellacking in south carolina this saturday. his biggest problem right now is mike bloomberg. bernie sanders has a significant lead in the two big states on tuesday, california and texas. i think bloomberg and biden are canceling each other out to some degree and i think it would be quite ironic if mayor bloomberg is the one whose own ego makes bernie sanders the eventual nominee. rob: let's talk about pete for a second, mayor pete dropping out. here is perso bernie sanders one subject. >> i want to welcome all of his supporters into our movement and

to urge them to join us in the fight for real change in this country. rob: wendy, does bernie sanders have a chance of getting some of those supporters, mayor pete seemed to think he was going to give his blessing to joe biden. >> yeah, it will be slim-pickings if i could be very honest with you. mayor pete has center left ideologies, so if anything his supporters will directly go to biden and that's really important here. people don't wake up the next day if they're really in love with a candidate and move to another candidate. it will take time over time i don't see his supporters going to the sanders campaign, rather i see them going to the biden campaign. for biden right now, it's not only picking up supporters from mayor pete but also to start to chip away as bloomberg support and the bloomberg wave we see growing. if anyone is his biggest competition it will be michael bloomberg. rob: joe, do you agree with that, do you think biden gets pete's support and what about

the early vote. a lot of people have voted when joe biden and everybody thought he was out, they voted for probably somebody else. >> the primary scenario of having different elections is a good case to make against early voting. i think the buttigieg supporters, a lot of them have moved on. you saw his polling tank in recent days. you saw him do poorly in south carolina. i think most of those people have settled with the camp already. the question is does something like an obama endorsement or something of that nature bring some people to biden's rescue and to his aid. i think whether it's buttigieg or obama or anyone in between, i think biden does need that at this point. rob: okay. we'll see what happens tomorrow, guys. thank you so much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. jillian: michael bloomberg getting the cold shoulder in selma. >> that's why -- [ indiscernible ] jillian: the silent protest inside a historically black

church lighting up social media. rob: and it's read across america day. so is technology consistent -- so as technology consumes our kids, their faces staring at screens all day, why is it more important to encourage reading? we'll ask some of our favorite children's book authors when they join us live. ♪

lives. in the age of cell phones and social media, how do you keep kings excited about reading. to answer that we called about janice dean and ainsley earhardt. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> i'm so honored you thought of us. jillian: you are so passionate, both of you, about this. where did this come from? >> for me, i had a need for some of my friends and family members that wanted to explain weather to their kids and there wasn't a lot out there in terms of kids books. so i came up with freddy the frog caster, this is the first book of five and they're all coming out on paper back tomorrow, by the way, all of them, all five of them. teachers use them in schools to teach the weather. i feel very fortunate i was able to do this and fox supported us. >> so many kids are obsessed with weather, obsessed with science. they utilize it every day. for you, this is looking through your daughter's eyes. >> my first book was take heart, that was about lessons --

my dad left me a note flex to my cereal bowl. it had a lesson or bible verse. i saved them through the years. i was pregnant when i wrote the first book, i wanted to passion it along. now the publisher said let's do a book now that she's born, she is teaching me so much and that's why it's called through your eyes. jillian: how do you get agray cell phones and -- away from cell phones and distractions with your kids? >> i try do it every day. we're on a 24/7 nud7 news feed. we have to be on alert. i try every night to read to my kids. i think it brings a connection you can't replicate anywhere else. jillian: it's younger and younger every day for cell phones. >> kids start watching shows, i think the doctor said don't put them in front of any tv or monitor until they're 2. so she's 4. she definitely loves to pick up the phone and asks if she can watch something. that's on a very special

occasion. we try to read a lot. we read two regular books every night and one book about the bible or some jesus story. we do three at night, some throughout the day. >> it's something you can do together that you can't take away. >> it's time spent. >> you definitely have t make n effort. >> do you want to read some of this. >> every morning, freddy ran out to his weather station to check for weather clues. he would watch the clouds and make a list of things like temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. he ran back to the house to watch sally's weather forecast to see if his predictions were right. at first, freddy's mom thought the weather watching was cute but freddy was right so many times that mama frog couldn't help but boast to her friends about freddy's amazing weather prediction ability. jillian: you're very animated. >> of course. i love going out to schools, just last month i went to my son's school. >> and she came to my

daughter's school too. >> one of my favorite things to do is go to schools and talk to kids about weather and read fred's dreadfreddy and there's h the books. jillian: do you want to read an ex exceptor? >anexcerpt. >> you chased the wind, head bowed, soft curls. staring into the lake you giggled with glee, who would have known you could teach me to be. you danced in the puddles, first we've waltzed, then we sang. the world through your eyes shines brand-new every day. jillian: that's beautiful. what's your message to parents out there who are watching? >> it is hard sometimes to take the phone out of your kids hands. a lot of people say it's easier to let them have it and let them watch a video.

what would you say? >> oh, so cute. >> it goes by so quickly. when i first wrote this book was 2013. and they were little. and now i look at that picture that you put up there of the five books and you just don't have -- it goes by so quickly. so as much time as you can spend with your kids is precious. >> i think you have to take the moments to spend time with them because it flies by. and i tried to make it my new year's resolution to go to the gym three times a week starting in january. i lasted two weeks. it's time away from my daughter. and when i have her, i want to spend all my time with her. our jobs are hard. we're on our phones a lot. so i'll find myself on the phone and see she's playing right around the corner and i'm lying put down your phone and go play with her and spend as much time as possible. jillian: or spend that time reading. >> thank you so much for having us. >> thank you so much. >> happy read across america day. >> absolutely. rob: that was just so touching.
