danger. >> and as the number of covid-19 cases continue to swell across the u.s., we will be seeing more of that here as people are concerned at international airports. trace? >> trace: laura ingle in new york bill hemmer also in new york. >> bill: thank you for that. this is a story that is moving quickly so expect more changes throughout the hour as we begin our program now. this pandemic now taking center stage in the 2020 election. in a moment pwaoerbdz will speak. earlier today we heard from joe biden, his rival, so we will bring you sanders' remarks when they begin. first, however, let's accepted you ♪ and everybody else watching across the country up to speed on where we stand at this hour. the pandemic, the coronavirus now affecting nearly every aspect of our american lives from travel, education, entertainment and sports. the latest cancellations here in new york city governor cuomo banning events with 500 people

or more that includes broadway shows. that's happening as the nhl, the mls suspend their seasons, the nba does the same as polaris test positive for covid-19. for now some leagues say they will play through the outbreak with no fans. but, again, that could change as the virus spreads. other major developments at 3:00 east coast time. president trump putting new restrictions on most travel from europe to the u.s. more schools across the country closing their doors. on capitol hill, lawmakers trying to hash out a coronavirus relief bill. in a moment, we will talk to ohio republican brad wenstrup. he is also a doctor and we will get the latest on what's happening between lawmakers with chachad pergram. first in studio tim brando sports commentator with fox sports. tim, you had a game today that you will never forget. tipoff at 12 noon here in new york city. >> yeah. >> trace: big east tournament a

game that had 200 fans in attendance on behalf of each team. >> right. >> bill: a total of 400. >> plus the cheerleader and the bands. >> bill: halftime they called the game. >> what happened? >> they called the game at halftime. we really thought, bill, up until 5 minutes before the national anthem we might not have a game because they had already told the big ten in indianapolis, the players during warm-ups to come off the court. other conferences, the acc, the sec, the big 12 all followed suit. we have heard that the pac-12 was still determining what they were going to do with the time differently, they had not made their move as yet. remember, the big east conference is a basketball only league. these other conferences also have football. so this -- for these private schools in the big east, this was their super bowl. i think the decision was made that because of the circumstances surrounding the ncaa tournament, that they were going to play but with limited access for fans that they would do much the same. but then the optics looked the way they look

>> bill: hang on one moment, tim. bernie sanders is beginning his remarks now. burlington, vermont. >> no knows what the number of fatalities may end up being. the number of people who may get ill and we all hope that number will be as low as possible. but we also have to face the truth and that is that the number of casualties may actually be even higher than what the experienced in world war ii. in other words, we have a major, major crisis and we must act accordingly. therefore, it is an absolute moral imperative that our response as a government, as a society, as a business community and as individual citizens meet the enormity of this crisis. as people stay or work from home

and are directed to quarantine, it will be easy for us to feel like we are all alone. i'm working at home. not at my house. office. or that we must only worry about ourselves and think that everybody else should fend for themselves. but, in my view, that would be a tragic and dangerous mistake. if there ever was a time in the modern history of our country when we are all in this together, it is that moment. now is the time for solidarity. now is the time to come together with love and compassion and for all, including the most vulnerable people in our society

who will face this pandemic from a health perspective or face it from an economic perspective. if our neighbor or co-worker gets sick, we have the potential to become sick. if our neighbor loses his or her job, then our local community suffers and we may lose our jobs. we are in this together. if doctors and nurses and medical personnel do not have the equipment and the training and the capacity they need right now, people we know may unnecessarily face additional illness and even death. we are all in this together. unfortunately in this time of international crisis, it is

clear to me, at least, that we have an administration that is largely incompetent and whose incompetence and recklessness have threatened the lives of many, many people in our country. today i would like to give a brief overview of what in my view we must do to respond to this crisis. first and foremost, we are dealing with a national emergency, and the president of the united states must understand that and declare that emergency. next, if president trump is unwilling or unable to leadselflessly, we must immediately convene an emergency bipartisan authority of experts to support and direct the response that is comprehensive,

compassionate and based first and foremost on science and fact. in other words, congress, in a bipartisan manner, must take responsibility for addressing this unparalleled crisis. further, we must aggressively make certained that the private sector and public sector are cooperating with each other and we need national and state hotlines staffed with well-trained people who have the best information available. one of the aspects of the current crisis is there are people who are asking us what are the symptoms of coronavirus? do i have a cold? do i have the flu? i do have the coronavirus? who is going to help me? where do i go to seek medical treatment? how do i get a test? when is that test going to be processed? people have a lot of questions,

and at the statewide and federal level, we need experts to provide the necessary information to our people. the american people deserve transparency, something that the current administration has fought day after day to stifle. in other words, we need to know what is happening right now in our country, in our states and, in fact, all over the world. if there was ever a time for transparency and honesty and being straightforward this is that moment. and we need that information coming from credible, respected, scientific voices of which we have many in our own country and all over this world, not from politicians. and during a crisis, we must make sure that we care for the communities most vulnerable to the health and economic pain that is coming.

those in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. those confined immigration detention centers, those who are currently incarcerated and in jails. and all people, regardless of their immigration status. unfortunately, as i think the american people increasingly understand, our country is at a severe disadvantage compared to every other major country on earth because we do not did guarantee healthcare to all people as a right and as we speak some 87 million americans are either uninsured or under ininsured. when you are uninsured or under insured you hesitate about getting the medical care you need because you cannot afford to get that medical care.

the result is millions of people cannot afford to go to the doctor let alone pay for coronavirus test. while we work to pass a medicare for all single pair system, the united states government today must make it clear that in the midst of this emergency, everyone in our country, regardless of income, or where they live must be able to get all of the healthcare they need without cost. obviously, when a vaccine or other effective treatment is developed, it must be free of charge. we cannot live in a nation where if you have the money you get the treatment you need to survive but if you are working class, or poor, you get to the

end of the line. that would be morally unacceptable. further, we need emergency funding right now for paid family and medical leave. anyone who is sick, should be able to stay home during this emergency and receive their paycheck. what we do not want to see is at a time when half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, when they need to go to work in order to take care of their family, we do not want to see people going to work who are sick and who can spread the coronavirus. we also need an immediate expansion of community health centers in this country so that every american will have access to a nearby healthcare facility. where do i go? how do i get a test? how do i get the results of that

test? need greatly to expand our primary healthcare capabilities in this country and that includes expanding community health centers. we need to determine the status of our testing and processing for the coronavirus. the government must respond aggressively to make certain that we, in fact, have the latest and most effective test available and the quickest means of processing those tests. there are other countries around the world who are doing better than we are in that regard. we should be learning from them. no one, none of the medical experts that i have talked to dispute that there is a major shortage of icu units and ventilators that are needed to respond to this crisis. the federal government must work aggressively with the private sector to make sure that this equipment is available to

hospitals and the rest of the medical community. our current healthcare system does not have the doctors and nurses we currently need. we are under staffed. during this crisis, we need to mobilize medical residents, retired medical professionals and other medical personnel to help us deal with this crisis. we need to make sure that doctors, nurses and medical professionals have the instructions and personal protective equipment that they need. this is not only because we care about the well-being of medical professionals, but if they go down, then our capability to respond to this crisis is significantly diminished. the pharmaceutical industry must be told in no uncertain terms that the medicines that they

manufacture for this crisis will be sold at cost this is not the time for price gouging or profiteering. the coronavirus is already causing a global economic meltdown which is impacting people throughout the world and in our own country and it is especially dangerous for low income and working class families, people who today before the crisis are struggling economically. instead of providing more tax breaks to the top 1% and large corporations, would he need to provide economic assistance to the elderly, and i worry very much about elderly people in this country today, many of whom are isolated, many of whom do not have a lot of money. we need to woer worry about thoo

are already sick. we need to worry about working families with children, people with disabilities, the homeless and all those who are vulnerable. we need to provide in that context emergency unemployment assistance to anyone in this country who loses their job through no fault of their own. right now 23% of those who are eligible to receive employment compensation do not receive it. under our proposal everyone who loses a job must qualify for unemployment compensation at least 100 percent of their prior salary with a cap of $1,150 a week or $60,000 a year. in addition, those who depend on tips, in the restaurant industry is suffering very much from the meltdown, those who depend on tips give workers, domestic

workers and independent contractors must also qualify for unemployment insurance to make up for the income that they lose during this crisis. we need to make sure that the elderly, people with disabilities, and families with children have access to nutritious food. that means expanding the meals on wheels program. it means expanding the school lunch program and snap, so that no one goes hungry during this crisis and everyone who cannot leave their home can receive nutritious meals delivered directly to where they live. we need also in this economic crisis to place an immediate moratorium on evictions, on foreclosures, and on utility so no one loses their home during

this crisis and that everyone has access to clean water, electricity, heat, and airconditioning. we need to construct emergency homeless shelters to make sure that the homeless survivors of domestic violence and college students quarantined off campus are able to receive the shelter, the healthcare, and the nutrition they need. we need to provide emergency lending to small and medium size businesses to cover payroll, new construction of manufacturing facilities, and production of emergency supplies such as masks and ventilators, a very serious problem right now in the midst of this crisis. here is the bottom line, and that bottom line is that in the midst of this unprecedented moment, we need to listen to the

scientists, to the researchers, to the medical folks not the politicians. we need an emergency response to the current emergency and we need it immediately. we need more doctors and nurses in underserved areas. we need to make sure that workers who lose their jobs in this crisis receive the unemployment assistance they need and in this moment, in this moment, we need to make sure that in the future after this crisis is behind us, we build a healthcare system that makes sure that every person in this country is guaranteed the healthcare that they need. thank you all very much. >> bill: bernie sanders burlington, vermont, he said time for solidarity. we are in this together. he said the president must declare a state of national emergency immediately. while he was speaking in burlington, vermont, we got the

following headlines across the country: schools in ohio cancelled for the next three weeks. the governor in connecticut saying gatherings of 250 people or more will not be allowed. the mayor of los angeles saying gatherings of more than 50 part-time will not be allowed. spring training in major league baseball has been cancelled immediately and thought reports of the opening day may be delayed as many as two weeks. all that happening in the past 15 minutes. brad ren strip, republican from ohio with me now, also a doctor. brad, well, you ran treated patients for more than 25 years in cincinnati before you got to congress. let's try and take this one at a time here. based on your medical background and try and understand the best advice you have for viewers now. successful prevention, you say, will look like an overreaction. that's your commentary. but it sure does look that way. explain. >> yeah. well, you will never know what the numbers would be like when

you go ahead and prevent, right? so, if we do take all these precautions and in the end of the day, very few people get sick, it's goin going to look ln overreaction to a lot of the media. there is criticism no matter what. we just heard from mr. sanders. sounded like he was running for president. i'm more interested in taking care of the american people. so this is a whole of government affect. and i would like to remind people that it's the same cdc. it's the same nih that existed under previous administrations. this is not a political thing. this is an american concern. >> bill: his headline was declare a national emergency. do you think that's appropriate reaction? >> i would have to see what you want to declare a national emergency. national action i would definitely put into place. and that means to all americans. some referenced before to world war ii. you know, this is a whole of government, whole of all the people to be responsible. in some ways maybe we all should be carrying ourselves as though maybe we have the virus and we

protect others from us in many ways. and, you know, they talk about the test. well, if you get the test, then you quarantine and you do the types of things that maybe we all should be doing anyway. and the treatment is going to be the same. we are learning so much as this goes. this is a new virus. you have to develop a new test. you want to develop new antivirals. eventually you want to develop a vaccine for healthy people so they never get it. bill, if there is going to be a pandemic, there is no other country in the world i would rather be in than the united states of america. >> bill: amen to that another comment you said we will likely see the mortality rate go down as more people are tested. what do you mean by that? >> well, we know how many people die from this, right? so -- as you develop a ratio, you have your number on top and your number on the bottom. your enumerator and denominator. we can get the enumerator the denominator is unknown. the more people we test and then we have a larger number on the

bottom, it makes the ratio different and there is a lower percentage of those that have actually died. so i think that we will see that and i think that's what we have been seeing. so the numbers of people that have been infected are likely to go up. but the percentage of those actually dying is likely going to go down whether you have that bottom number. >> bill: you were in a briefing earlier today behind closed doors. the medical professionals, what did they tell you? how do you respond to the hospitals that are saying they don't have the test kits that are appropriate or the number that is required for those who complain of a fever. they are not sure if they have got it or not. what would you say to them? >> well, what i would say is understand our system. it's a new virus. you develop a new test. you want to be very careful because you don't want false negatives and false positives. and we have a system in place in america for our labs to try and ensure the utmost quality and accuracy. so it does maybe take us a little bit longer and maybe we can speed that up. but the tests are new. we want to get them out. we want them to be accurate. but, you know what we are trying

to do in the united states, compared to say, iran, in iran it went to a high level, people died, it drops off. we are trying to keep people healthy, prevent, keep that number low. so that our medical system is not overrun. but i will tell you, you know, as an optimist, we look at all of this and we realize where maybe our shortcomings may be. and god forbid something like this happens again or is much worse that we can be prepared. and, do you know what? my experience is we have got great minds working on this. and i think we are doing a very good job in the united states of america in the process of developing antivirals and eventually a vaccine as well. >> bill: thank you brad wenstrup, congressman from ohio on the hill there social distancing is a reality now for millions of people. brad, thank you. i want to bring in bret baier now host of "special report." bret, gavin to you, the president spoke last night again from the oval office with the visiting leadership from ireland. we heard from joe biden and we just heard from bernie sanders politically where are we stacking this up at the moment,

bret? >> bret: listen, i think all sides are saying they want to take politics out of this and trying to get the country to move forward as all of these things are changing and all americans are going to be feeling it. however, politics, bill, as you know is in the background and sometimes the foreground of all of this in the middle of an election year. listen, the president's speech last night in the oval office while supporters are saying it had the right tone and the right delivery, it did have some biggerrers, big mistakes three of them really. and it did open the door to his critics to paint themselves as giving speeches that were better in substance as far as what needs to happen in the country. the big mistakes obviously were not detailed about europe travel and people in paris trying to get tickets to come home before the friday deadline but it didn't deal with american citizens. then you had the cargo kind of walk back so that cargo from europe and trade would have been affected.

he tweeted out afterwards that that was not the case. and then the health insurance companies and what they would pay for as far as testing or treatment. and those are all big things. the biggest issue, the biggest story, bill, is going to be this testing situation and what each state is getting from the cdc and from the federal government as far as tests. >> bill: bret, you and i have been around for a bit now, believe it or not, having met many years ago in florida you look at the headlines it is rapid fire. in the span that bernie sanders started talking there in burlington, vermont. >> you heard the number of headlines rattled off there. it feels we have gone to a tipping point in the social sense for millions and millions of americans and we did it rapidly. >> bret: yes. i mean, listen, it was almost night and day. and you are seeing reaction. people can argue how they characterize that reaction. but it is for the safety of people involved here. and this virus is different and something we don't know.

you just heard the congressman talking about it. but i will tell you that here in washington, you get the sense that big things are changing and that big things are going to have to happen as far as from the federal sense and the state government sense. >> bill: so the senate took a vote today and they are heading home. you wonder in the back of your mind, bret, whether or not they come back to washington. who knew where we were yesterday? who knows where we will be on monday on this story. >> bret: well, i think senator mcconnell saying that they are going to see if -- they are going to stay in town until the vote on the coronavirus package, whatever that looks like and obviously speaker pelosi has been on the phone with treasury secretary mnuchin several times, i think four times today trying to go over what the administration is willing to sign on to. >> bill: thank you, bret. we will see you at 6:00 and see where we're then. thank you, sir. in a moment expert on pandemics joins me live. what he is warning about our readiness nationally. we will get update from him. update from karl goldman still

krafrl, you look good out there. i want to get to the expert in a minute. doctors in new york they are calling this a pandemic. doesn't feel like it. a flurriy of headlines. >> good reason and a lot of confusing information out there. the hard information that we do need to know is that the mod lers, the people that understand how to predict where we are going are very worried. universally, every beginning gel one of them. >> bill: what is your concern about the hospitals and the medical system? >> the prediction is if we get a full blown outbreak in the united states, which is essentially inevitable right now, that in the next couple of weeks we could be facing huge increases in the number of patients sick with coronavirus need hospitalization and intensive care estimates between 75,0075,100,000 short on the nur of available icu beds in the united states overall, which is an extraordinary number.

>> bill: concept of social distancing is to get ahead of that not faced with medical crush. >> too late right now. >> bill: did you say is it or it is. >> it is probably too late because we have unknown number of cases here. since we haven't been doing testing. we are now making assumptions. but we know the behavior of the virus rapid multiplication and every generation. >> bill: be careful with our words here. >> yes. >> bill: do you say that to be an alarmist? >> no. i'm trying so hard, bill, for weeks now to find that middle road of saying, listen, we have got to be calm here, not complacent, not panicking, we have to finds a middle road. i'm talking about biggest concern at the moment which is not about the testing. it is about the fact that our hospital systems need to be more ready than they currently. changes nothing about what the public is doing. they are separating. getting really good response, recommendations about personal

hygiene, keeping people separated. we are closing down a lot of large events. the public is doing fine. i'm not concerned about them and they should not be panicked. same thing i tell my own family. >> bill: great clarification. we have been in touch with carl for weeks. >> he does look great. >> bill: handsome man there in omaha, nebraska. carl, you were tested give us the news positive or negative? >> i'm waiting for tonight's result but right now i'm the last one is positive, unfortunately. they handed it to me on a post-it note because everything here is so high tech and, yet, i get my results on a post-it note. so, i have now had six positive tests in a row since the time i was supposed to get out of here. >> bill: 36 days and counting. do i have that right? >> yes, you do sir. >> bill: what do we need to understand about what you are going through? >> yeah. i think most people should

realize that for me and it looks like at least 80, 85% of the cases out there, it's mild. and i'm someone who is 67 years old, i have a precondition of [inaudible] syndrome and even with that i ended up with a high spike in fever for about 8 hours. it was over 103. once that was gone, all i was left with was a cold and a little shortness of breath. and that has been getting better and better every day. now the cough is just about totally gone, the same with my breathing is fine. >> bill: carl, hang on one moment. doctor, as you listen to him describe what he is experiencing. >> yeah. >> bill: what do you take from that. >> first of all, an important message here that getting coronavirus is not a death sentence. a very, very small percentage of people who get it -- who will get the virus will actually need advanced care. more than 90% will have more severe symptoms. the vast majority of people will

get through it just fine. and carl is doing great and that's really wonderful to see. it's a great example. and i do want to reiterate the point we were making before we spoke to carl. i'm making a very clear distinction between the public and our hospital systems. the public is doing great. the american public is complying with all the recommendations, they are not freaking out. they are fine. and they shouldn't be doing anything more than they are doing, which is taking care of their personal hygiene, trying to keep some social distancing and doing all those things that we are recommending. there is no sense of panic in the public and there shouldn't be. but i am trying to rev up our hospital systems because we are going to potentially have some severe problems there. so, that distinction to me is absolutely critical. >> bill: it's a great distinction too and very important to point out. carl, when do you -- what do you find out next? have they told you how much longer? >> i get my test result back in about four or five hours today.

if it's negative, then i get to go three days in a row of negative tests and then i will be released. if it's positive, i have to wait another 48 hours. my doctor combings to th dock cw saying th the reaper. i'm black coat with white lettering. i'm hopeful i will get something much better result and can get out. >> bill: well, you look good. i saw your notes. you say you feel good. hang in there, carl. >> bill, can we ask him? >> bill: yes, sir. >> i agree with bill even though i'm a pediatrician. you look great. when do they take the sample is swab for today's test? was it today? >> yeah, they did a swab this morning. >> yeah. >> i will get those results. they have a lab right here on the premises. i will get those results in about four hours. they also are taking swabs because there are a number of us

from the diamond princess who are still lingering, we haven't gotten rid of the virus. they are taking that sample also up to atlanta and put it in a culture for three to four days to see what's going on. >> yeah. but it's great that you are getting the results so rapidly. that's absolutely fantastic. >> bill: why do you ask that question? >> i asked that question because i spoke to doctors in emergency rooms today in new york city and they are still waiting three or four days to get results. we have the ability to get the results quickly like carl is getting, which is fantastic. i'm waiting for the rest of the country to be able to get the results at the same speed. and i don't know what the hold-up is exactly but it is important. >> bill: thank you, doctor. carl, hang in there. >> thank you, bill. >> bill: unfortunately we are going to have to check in again, okay? but i want you to be positive one of these days. is that a deal? >> you got it. [inaudible] delicacy. >> bill: thank you, carl. carl goldman in omaha:

saying the white house is aware of public reports that a member of the brazilian delegation's visit to mar-a-lago last weekend tested positive for covid-19, confirmatory test something pending. exposures from the case are being assessed which will dictate next steps the president and vice president had almost no interaction with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time. in the oval office today, meeting with the irish tea shock leo varadkar the president not informing eu officials he was about to suspend travel to the united states there was not enough time before making the announcement. i also asked the president about the economic impact from the suspension. >> it's a bigger impact and it's also a human impact which is more important frankly than the financial. we close very early with china. i took a lot of heat, including from you people. a lot of heat. they called me everything from a racist to everything else. it was terrible. and the same people then they say oh he closed too fast?

why did he close? most of them say why did he close with china? that turned out to be a great move. what we did with europe, this was the time. >> trace: as fatime. >> john: as far as the travel restrictions go initially 30 days could last longer or could be a shorter period of time depending on the situation on the ground in some of those european countries, bill? >> bill: john, also the president is changing his position on campaign rallies, that's been a staple of his presidency. what's up? >> john: it has. and since the coronavirus first emerged out of china the president has been asked on several occasions we continue to hold political rallies, the president up until now has said yes, he would. though today he changed his tune. for example, he was supposed to go to nevada tonight for a couple of events, listen to what the president said when i put the question to him. >> we canceled one that we were thinking about doing in las vegas, as you know. and one in reno, nevada. we have a big one in tampa, all

sold out. i think we will probably not do it because people would say it's better to not do. you know, we need a little separation until such time as this goes away. it's going to go away. in the meantime, we want to lose as few people as possible. >> john: it looks for the time being, bill, that the president will not be holding any more campaign rallies. we don't know when he might resume them. but, you know, we will talk about 30 days from europe, that might be the time period a lot of people are suspending things for four to six weeks. the president also suggesting as well that the upcoming tokyo olympics might be better served if they were, if possible, to postpone them until next year. we don't know what abe or ioc thinking about but that's what the president is think thinking today. >> bill: moving fast. a blizzard of headlines. a debate is not going to take place in arizona sunday night. happening in washington, d.c. minutes away from the closing bell, u.s. stocks are deep in the red.

>> no, i'm not surprised. i think they needed to do it. with the ncaa tourney closing down all the conference tournaments and everything like that. it's kind of a no-brainer. >> we were in the stadium during the seventh inning stretch bill, the lines were long not just for food and beer like normal. a long line for people waiting to wash their hands. >> bill: grady, we are hear about the employees which there are many attached to all of these sporting events. what happens to them? >> yeah, that's something mark cuban brought up last night when the nba announced its decision to suspend its season. he said the mavericks organization would help out those employees. if you look at the oakland a's for example, there are 500 game day part time employees with that organization. extrapolate that across the mlb. that's 15,000 elmly n 15,000 el these leagues that's 15,000 more. they are eager to get back to

work like the fans are eager for the games to get started again. >> bill: grady trimble in lake land, florida. sportscaster here in new york. if you missed this at the top of the hour, you were broadcasting a game at madison square garden at halftime they called it. >> yeah. >> bill: now you have the nba suspended. major league baseball, nhl suspended. you have leading universities pulling out of march madness, a question whether or not as to whether that even happens. >> yes. >> bill: broadway is closing. america is going to be one boring place. >> a lot of fox news to watch out there i suspect. listen, i have been in this for four decades in athletics especially in college football and college basketball. i have opened a game after an obituary when a woman drove into a parade and killed three people before a football game at oklahoma state in 2015. i was broadcasting the sec tournament when a tornado ripped through the georgia dome and forced us to move it to georgia

tech to complete it with only a few fans from each of the teams getting to be on hand. that was in 2008. but nothing quite like this. >> bill: have you seen a few things. >> nothing quite like what we saw today for a game to be ended at halftime. >> bill: what do you think about the scale of this now as you go to major leagues all across america, they are going to lose a lot of money. what is the condition of this? >> if you are the nba or major league baseball, you are the national football league, your infrastructure from a business standpoint is in place. insurance policies and circumstances that you can control. i think the comparison between what happened with the nba and the ncaa is absurd. we are talking about a three-week event with a number of locations that you do not control, that you are subleasing for usage for a three week period and that's going to be the circumstance that they will have to take a look at because is march madness, is it

something you can push back? i don't know that you can. particularly with the 8 different sites and 64 teams that would be playing, including dayton where the first four takes place. listen, adam silver, we can say. >> bill: nba commissioner. >> he did the right thing. there's no question about that. but to say that college athletics did the wrong thing, the reason there is a wrong thing is that there is no one voice. college athletics is a consortium of six power conferences that are governed by commissioners of those respective leagues that, bill, have only their constituencies to concern themselves with. there is no 30,000-foot view from the outside. and i have contended for a very long time with the billions and billions of dollars we are talking about, and with the athletes that they are still having issues with images and likeness over, we need someone to take a look with purview from outside the myopic world of intercollegiate athletics what's going on in omaha, nebraska doesn't fly in new york.

what's going on in race seen, wisconsin doesn't work in pasadena, california. college athletics needs a czar, someone to turn to that can be in consultation with these commissioners, reasonably intelligent people should be able to get on a telephone, days before these conference tournaments get started and come to a consensus decision. >> bill: figure it out. >> they did not do that in this case. >> bill: thank you, sir. we have been friends a long time we can still shake hands. >> absolutely. >> bill: good to see you. good luck to your travels tonight and onward. >> thank you. >> bill: entire town in new york city containment area the largest cluster in the country. 15 miles north of manhattan. a look at new rochelle in a a look at new rochelle in a moment after this. a almost done. what do you think?

>> bill: so there is an area north of new york city called new rochelle. containment area is now official. it's centered around new rochelle, 15 miles north of manhattan. the governor says it's the largest cluster of infections in

the country as of this hour. rick leventhal is there live on the ground. what are you hearing there today, rick? >> bill, for people wondering what a containment zone looks like, it doesn't look much different here in new rochelle today than it did yesterday or last week or labs month. there is no vehicle vehicles on control. no checkpoints to pass through. quieter on streets with schools closed and houses of worship closed and some businesses deciding not to open. the most noticeable difference may be the uniformed national guardsmen passing out bags of food at several locations including new rochelle high school, feeding families in need and kids who would normally be eating at school which is cancelled for at least the next two weeks. another more ominous looking scene is outside glen island park in new rochelle now closed by a police road block. the state is reportedly assembling a mobile lab there to increase testing capacity for possible coronavirus samples. the public won't be going to the park for tests. it will only be used to check

those samples and the mayor is working to reassure residents inside and outside that one mile radius containment zone that all of these precautions are simply to help control the virus with 108 confirmed cases here and roughly 1,000 residents quarantined, making it the most dense cluster of known cases in the nation and the governor spoke about the testing capacity a short time ago. >> the testing kit is the swab. the swab then gets sent to a laboratory. the laboratory has to have the capacity to then perform the test. that's where we have issues, the number of labs that can perform the test. >> bill, there are more than 300 confirmed cases of the virus in the state of new york. >> bill: thank you, rick. check in tomorrow. we are here tomorrow monday through friday 3 p.m. eastern time. set your dvr, never miss a report. on wall street we are trading
