this virus spreads and is spreading quickly. >> ohio's top health official said there are likely 100,000 undiagnosed cases of the coronavirus in the state. the governor ordered all school closed starting the end of the day on monday. and also ordering a ban on mass gatherings of more than 100 people. joining us is ohio's governor. thanks for joining us. what are you doing to stop the spread of this virus in your state? >> i have relied on experts. we have a panel of 14 doctors. the doctor whom you just heard and we reached out to other experts yesterday. it was clear that we had to take this action in regard to schools. as that doctor indicated, we have about 100,000 people who are already walking around with the coronavirus.

what "the experts" tell us this number will double every 6 days. you think about that. we are in tough times in ohio. -- it's very, very important to do everything we can to slow this down. closing the schools is a dramatic and drastic action. we know there are other consequences. it's important for us to do this. the goal is to spread this out. we know a lot of people in ohio will be be affect. we don't want to overrun our healthcare system. they had a good one in italy and we are seeing the problems they are having. we have to slow this thing down. that's why we took dramatic steps. what we are emphasizing is there is only so much government can do. you have a responsibility to not

only yourself but to strangers. the way this thing spreads. do everything you can to stay away from people who are sick. if you are sick, stay home. if someone in your family is sick, we tell people treat that as if you were sick. stay home as well. these are drastic actions. but we are very difficult times. >> what access do residents of your state have to test kits? this has been a problem for the administration. >> we have with over 1,000 testing kitts today at the department of health. we also have private labs with this capability. now some of our major hospitals are coming on line to have test kits. you will see more tests done in the next few days. the number of people who are

testing positive is going to go up. those numbers are going to go up rather dramatically in the next few days. >> you are talking about 100,000 undiagnosed cases walking around in your state today. you are saying the state expects those cases to double every 6 days. but there are only 1,000 test kits that you know of? >> well, what dr. at kin tells me, i am not the expert. we will reach a point in this country and not just in ohio where it's not going be too long when they won't have the capacity to test everybody. we will just have to move on from there. if you get 2 million people, obviously you won't be testing them. would we like more test kits, but we are in the same boat everybody else is. we have capacity online and the

tests will go up. you will see the number of people who test positive go up. the steps that we took were formed by the experts who tell us what they anticipate based on the number of tests we have done. based on the fact we have 2 community spread individuals. we have no idea where they got it. it's across ohio and it's across other states as well. we took this action yesterday. we can't say to get ahead of this. you can't get ahead of it, but to slow it down so our health and hospital asks our doctors and our whole health system will be able to deal with what is coming up. >> it's a huge challenge across the country. we wish you and the residents of ohio well through all of this. thanks for being here. >> thank you very much. >> the house looking to vote

today on a coronavirus relief package to help the economy. will we see a deal? republican congressman andy joins us next. >> right now we have to find our common ground and work together to get this done as soon as possible. we have other needs. we will have to address this issue further. my psoriatic arthritis pain? i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness... ...much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better.

>> we have resolved [inaudible]. those we have not we will continue to have conversation. >> house speaker nancy pelosi said progress is made with

negotiations on the white house for a coronavirus relief bill. the congressman from arizona. do you think this will be a vote today and is it a package you could support? >> first of all, i think there will be a vote today because i think the leadership wants to get everybody out of town as quickly as possible. but the package is unknown. the original package that we came out and were scouring and looking at came out 2 nights ago. we haven't seen any documentation on changes that the speaker put out last night. a lot of -- well, we saw no changes. it's hard to say what will happen. >> that's a long frustration. lawmakers have to vote on something they have barely seen. we have an emergency.

nancy pelosi is pushing free coronavirus testing and food money for kids that won't have school lunches and senior citizens as well. the president wants to get his priorities. are you confident that in addition to nancy pelosi's priorities this final package may have a payroll tax cut or some other device the president is pushing? >> i am not sure that will happen. this has other social engineering stuff in it as well. they put in $1 billion that was not subject to the hyde amendment so you could up to 1 billion dollars on state funded abortions. they are removing work requirements for certain programs that they tell us the medicaid program the way they structured this may double.

it's hard to say. i pray they give us time to digest it. >> a lot of people raising eyebrows why nancy pelosi wanted that abortion funding in there because this is an emergency. fisaa reforms. you want reforms so surveillance is not used in a political way like in 2016. you have the attorney general barr saying i need these to fight terrorists. rand paul and others are trying to block this. the president is talking about vetoing it. the attorney general said if i don't have these tools we will be hamstrung to fight terrorists. what will happen? >> two things. even if it expires the intelligence community and the fbi will continue to spy and obtain wiretaps foreign threats. there won't be a threat contrar to the attorney general said. what will slow down they have

have to go to court to show probable cause to spry or subpoena or get documents on an more than citizen. that's the 4th meant. -- amendment. that's our constitutional right. if it needs to be secret, we do this in criminal cases that subpoena can be sealed. this won't change the problem. >> do you believe that the president you and other republicans on the hill are willing to let this fisaa law exspire in the next couple of days even if there is a risk that the attorney general says we can't trackdown a terrorist? >> i think he is not telling the truth on that. there is not that risk. they will continue to surveil. the f in fisa stands for foreign. they can surveil them with or

without fisa being reauthorized. >> pretty strong words to say the attorney general is not telling the truth. thank you. >> negotiations over a coronavirus bill on capitol hill today. after the dow took its biggest hit in decades. we are moments from the opening bell wall street. after that, things are looking up. >> and empty shelves in grocery scores across america. people trying to stock up on necessities for the pandemic. panic or prudent? >> not only literally infecting someone but there is anxiety in the air. we have to be sensitive to one another. ur car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

does that mean they have to grow apart from their friends, or from the things they love to do? with right at home, it doesn't. right at home's professional team thoughtfully selects caregivers to help with personal care, housekeeping, meals - and most of all, staying engaged - in life.

oh, thank you, thank you. you're welcome. are you ready to go? oh, i sure am. we can provide the right care, right at home. rung. the dow already on the rebound after suffering the biggest drop since 1987. on thursday you see it there. the dow up over 1300 points. we have jerry baker from the "wall street journal." the worst fall since the crash. congress is talking about an aid package. >> we are in a volatile time. people are uncertain. this is unprecedented. we had a final crisis 11 years ago.

the government was able to come if with bail outs and we stabilized it. this will pass but we don't know how bad it will get. it's not obvious. the criticism of federal government is what can the government do? >> mike said we believe 100,000 people in the state of ohio with the coronavirus already and only have 1,000 test kits in the state. they have not gotten their arms andrews it. >> this is a real problem.round. >> this is a real problem. we want to ensure we don't get a massive spike like italy. without tests it's difficult to manage the process of maintaining an even number of cases so the healthcare can help

them. >> on the economic side. the 2008 crisis. some similarities and some big differences. not seeing that credit crisis yet. the question about congress acting. we think there may be a house vote today. they are putting it together. we don't have any final details. in 2008 with the vote on tarp to bring in the rescue practice. this initially failed. you saw the dow come up and it crashed. >> literally as the votes came in the dow was dropping. >> the danger is to get this right. >> what can be done? are the governments around the world are considering this. they need to reassure people there will be -- look. this is going to pass at some point. maybe a month or two months or three months. how do you support the economy in the period when it comes to a stop? we are seeing something

unprecedented. a sudden stop in the economy. after 9-11 people didn't go out. this is like but on a larger scale. the economy is coming to a stop. the government needs to step in and say we have money and the economy won't cocollapse. that's really important for the administration to come together. >> take a step back. -- you have the governor of new york saying we are shutting broadway down. they are not going to plays or restaurants and won't use hotels. that's across the country. the r-word is coming up with recession. last summer people warned of recession but that not pan out. fundamentals were strong. how concerned now about a recession? >> i think it is inevitable.

again you're viewers only have to go outside. other than panic buying in the shops nothing is going on. my office in the "wall street journal" they are not here. they are working but they are not out and buying things in stores. they are hunkering down and working from home. getting by. that's going to lead to a really dramatic decline in economic activity which will produce a technical revegas. -- recession. people will start shopping again. but nobody knows when. that's why some kind of support from the government is critical to keep up the economy. >> the dow up 985 points. we talked about congress getting involved. what about the fed? they cut rates? expected to do the same on march 17th and the european central

bank was acting. >> interest rates cuts right now there is not much they can do for the economy. people are not in the mood to take out loans. what is important is the plumbing of the financial situation. when you have this financial disstress with the dow down and interest rates going up and down, you get stresses within the financial system. warren buffet had a great line. when the tide goes out you can see who has been swimming naked. that's our situation right now. there could be some companies and financial institutions and organizations that are in significant financial disstress from what has been going on in the last 2 weeks. when they are down, they are not in a healthy position. when nobody spends money they are in a weakened condition. the fed is important to step in

and reassure you will have the money you need to get back. >> appreciate your insights. >> all 30 dow stocks opening to the upside in the first few minutes of trading. anxious shoppers clearing store shelves amid the concerns over the spread of this virus. hand sanitizer, canned goods and toilet paper. what are you seeing in manhattan this morning? >> this market restocked since the craziness of last night. the meats were wiped out. all of this was gone last night. all of eggs and cheeses. this story repaired for an event like this since hurricane sandy. inside the new york city mayor declared a state of emergency in

america's largest city. then panic buying ensued. long lines. one store manager told me they have not seen the store like since the panic buying the morning of 9-11. lots of empty shelves for bred, pasta and paper towels and toilet paper and cleaning supplies. it's not just new york city. as more schools close and people work from home. products with long shelf lives are selling past. compared to last year oatmeal sales are up and powered milk and dried beans up. non-food products. masks sales are up. hand sanitizer.

disinfectants up 99%. bath and shower wipes and first aid kits are up in sales. the food industry association tells fox news shoppers may witness out of stock due to sale spikes but that doesn't mean the supply chain is short that product. retailers have secondary sources to tap. we just need time to adjust as this situation is unprecedentsed. some stores limit customers to two items per customer like bleach. other stores they are offering unattended delivery. you don't have to come in con tact with a person. retailers and manufactures are speaking about preparing for

mass deliveries and food pick ups. >> the shelves look like they have been restocked. it's only 9:40 a.m. thank you. you can look on your social media account, facebook and twitter to see the pictures that friends and neighbors and family members are posting of local stores with shelves cleaned out. >> what do you think about oatmeal? >> yes. i have never had it. >> i love it but would not hoard it. >> they are doing their best to limit some quantitys. >> it's like a war zone in supermarkets. as the covid-19 out break expands so do question about pretension and how it surprised.

. how does this spread? >> that's a great question. unfortunately we don't know all of the modes of how it is transmitted. it's likely when somebody coughs or sneezes with droplets that contain the virus, some land on surfaces and you pick them up with your hands and move into the mucus membranes of your eyes or mouths. that's why we talk about social standing. -- distancing. one possibility is this virus can spread several feet. not many viruss do that. measles do and some fear it

could be fecal-oral transmission. we are looking into that. this is the hardest thing our nation faces which is a brand new virus pathogen causing a pandemic. it takes us time to learn about it. just a couple of months ago we have never heard of this virus. it's a steep learning curve. >> who is most at risk? >> well, clearly we know certain populations are getting sicker than others. it looks like children and teens are affected but not getting sick or not getting sick very often. it's older individuals over the age of 70. especially those with underlying conditions like diabetes or heart disease. in china we saw a 10 to 20% mortality rate and with the nursing home in kirkland washington. 13 degrees so far.

-- deaths so far. we are sacrificing a lot. we are shutting down the nba, and the houston rodeo. >> and schools. >> for good reason. we are protecting our most cherished populations. older americans and veterans of foreign wars. this is the goodness in america right now. >> doctor, a few more questions for you. because you come from pediatrics as well. an important question i hear from parents: how do i talk to my kids about this? you have kids coming home from school. many schools are shutting down next week. parents are fielding this question. what is the coronavirus? >> you explain this could be serious for their grandparents. we are concerned about grandma

and grandpa and that's why we are not having you see them as often or keeping your distance. that's the population you worry about. or in the parent has an underlying chronic illness. we have to recognize we will start seeing a fair number of americans hospitalized. what can we do for them now? on monday an important paper is coming out from my colleagues. what it shows is that we have an opportunity to take patients who have recovered from this illness, take their antibodies from their blood stains and process it and give it to people

who are the vaccine won't be ready for 1 to 3 years. >> this is interesting. >> i propose a national plan to make this happen. it's a big goal but that's what america is good at. we produced penicillin for world war ii when no one thought we could and eradicated polio in the '50s and 60s and smallpox. america led that. we need to take on this coronavirus infection and stop wringing our hands about we have not done. focus on what we should do now. getting that testing out and looking at treatments. >> that's all very good information. thanks for fielding those questions. appreciate your time. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> now this fox news alert

outbreak. stressing the need to identify as many cases as possible. >> on testing, i am not that interested in what happened yesterday and what we should have done a few months ago. we need to increase testing as quickly as possible and get the volume as high as possible. the more people you test, the more people you can isolate. >> fox team coverage. we begin in new york with alice reporting live from new rochelle. >> this is the first time that anyone has be allowed here at this testing site. this is the first in the northeast. this is the drive-through area. no one allowed in just yet. drivers will drive up and fill out information ohnenline and wt leave their carc. they will be swabbed.

lawmakers drew a radius around the city. 328 people with the virus. 148 live here. this is the testing center. located 4 miles away from the radius they drew. president trump said testing will be available and free. governor cuomo says this goes one step further. >> the test kits is the swab. the swab then gets sent to a lab. they have to have the capacity to perform the tests. that's where we have issues. the number of labs that can perform the tests. >> the district wide shutdown of all unusual schools goes into effect today and affects 12,000 students. the national guard arrived yesterday and delivered food to people in their homes including the children who rely on school for hot meals. the state's ban on gathers of 500 people or more goes into

effect today which include broadway shows and worship centers. across the country more states are declaring states of emergency as they race to contain this pandemic. this testing center hasn't opened just yet. we are seeing the first patient. some vehicles are rolling in for the first time. and governor cuomo will be speaking here. >> the new rochelle mayor will give us an update on the one mile containment zone and how that community is coping. >> there are growing concerns about the number of available coronavirus test kits. states and private companies are racing to ramp up for the rise in demand. the top infectious disease expert said the system for testing coronavirus is failing. >> this morning he sees some improvement. >> going back the situation was not optimal.

it didn't function the way we would like to fernings. -- function. but you will see a major escalation to get people tested. >> david. >> dr. fauci said the united states is far behind getting tests out to the people and getting them out rapidly. >> the system is not really good year to what we need right now. what you are asking for. that is a failing. >> a failing? >> yes, let's admit it. >> president trump on the other hand over the past few weeks told a different story to americans about the testing. listen. >> testing has gone very well. when people get a test they can get a test. >> that's not a fact. people across the country have gone to their doctor and asked for a test but can't get it

because they have not been to an infected country or claimed they were around someone infected. you don't know because of the incubation period of the coronavirus. 2 weeks ago tests came only from the cdc. now private labs are doing testing and that hopefully will speed things up. march 11th, the data from the cdc 11,079 tests were done. how is this testing done in the united states? it's done by a mouth or throat swab through the testing of music videos. results have to be shipped to labs. this drive through process has been successful in south korea with 15,000 people a day are tested.

dr. fauci is a straight shooter and said there will be a major escalation in happening in the next several days. and roche the swiss company with ties to the united states, they developed a test that can be read in 3.5 hours. better news it has fda approval. they just announced that this morning. >> the masters tournament will postpone it. they are not cancelling it. >> there were worries about that and a lot of ticket holders were concerned that would happen. they cancelled the players tournament and the masters has been cancelled with the health of everyone around these events in mind. >> will we eventually get enough coronavirus test kits? what are the challenges? >> our headliner today. good morning and thanks for being here. one of the big questions in all of this is when is a vaccine

coming? >> [no audio]. >> we will try to reconnect to her. can you hear me? >> yes. >> there you go. we are wondering about the vaccine. the timing has been a big question. what is the update on where he stand on that? >> sure, we heard dr. fauci from the nih saying we have some that are already in development. the focus at the nih are working on this. >> and testing? you saw in our news report that the last time we got numbers from government officials, 11,000 tests for coronavirus were conducted in america. what is the number now? >> i think the focus right now is to ramp up testing. we have been using state lab

rators. roche can do tests and the fda will be working with new york state and gave them the authorization to process tests. lashbrator labratory. >> in south korea they are doing thousands of tests a day. >> we are ramping up the efforts. just idea we met with over 1600 hospital labs to tell them how they can ramp up their capacity to. test. we are focussing on this. this morning the administration has a point person to coordinate the testing effort. we announced a 1-800 numbers to labs across the country to call

if they need help to set up testing. >> we for unprecedented territory with the spread of this virus in the united states. what is the biggest challenge right now? in containment? >> i think it's a couple of efforts. the idea here is to mitigate the spread. we are taking aggressive efforts. that's why you saw the president's strong leadership on the bans. we did that early in january with flights from china. now that's extended to europe. you are seeing communities respond with efforts to reduce the number of crowds that are forming. not having school. you are seeing community respond as well. from my perspective, my focus is on infection control and working with the healthcare system. we are asking the system to double down on infection control everies. -- efforts. i am very concerned about

nursing homes. this is our most vulnerable population. cdc put out guidelines. cm s required healthcare facilities to do aggressive screening on the front end of visitors coming in to nursing homes. make sure they are not sick and have not traveled overseas. we will have to go to more aggressive measures. >> we spoke to the governor of ohio who believes that they have 100,000 undiagnosed cases walking around their state. when i asked how many test kits they have. he said 1,000. isn't that a huge obstacle to finding out who has the disease so we can stop them from spreading it? >> testing is critical. that's why we are ramping up on that end. the measures announced today around roche and new york state

and that 1-800 number to help labs important. >> the president said anyone who wants a test can get a test. was that true last friday? is it true today? >> talk to your doctor. >> but can you get a test. >> we are ramping up the efforts. can you get a test? go to your doctor. if your doctor tells you, you need a test. we are working on finding ways to make sure people get the swabs. >> hospital and medical supplies. here's the challenge on "hannity." >> we have field medical hospital shelters. they are like mash unit for hundreds ever people to use for

isolation beds and put people who are suffering and can recover. we have surgical masks and medicines. we are working on vaccines. >> what assurances can you give american people about hospital beds and whether there is a shortage. >> that's one thing we are preparing for. our focus is on mitigating the spread. should that occur, there is a plan to set up temporary hospitals. there is a stockpile ever splice. this is similar to our response in hurricane situation

to make sure they have supplies and putting staffing in there. we have public health workers on-site in seattle in the nursing homes to help them perform their day-to-day operations. >> the house in recess subject to call. the house is going to vote -- the house vote on sick leave. this is nancy pelosi on that. your take to where you want to see things go on capitol hill today. here's nancy pelosi. >> [muffled audio]. [inaudible]. [muffled audio]. what our purpose is. [muffled audio]. >> testing, testing.

testing. >> that's what we asked you about in this interview. going back to what we are seeing on capitol hill and what you would like to see play out that both parties can agree on. >> we have been talking about a public health strategy. what is coming along with an economic plan to address the issues that americans are facing. right now every american has had to make modifications. some people can't go to home. they are taking care of kids or are isolated. we need to give them the peace of mind and security to address the economic burdens of the coronavirus. i am excited to hear about paid family leave and helping small businesses that are impacted. this is an important part of the overall strategy. >> the travel ban, it is taking effect at midnight tonight from europe. the president said we are not putting americans on planes in

they test positive in europe. we won't put them on a plane. but the vice-president mike pence said all americans will return and there will be no barrier even if they test positive. they would have to go into a self-quarantine in america. which one is it? >> i think the concept is we want to make sure we are protecting americans. if someone is infected. we want to make sure other passengers are not impacted. we want to make sure they don't develop symptoms later on. we ask people to self-isolate when they return. >> thank you. coming up we will break down the best practices for protecting you and your loved ones from the coronavirus. there is a lot you can do. we will talk to an infectious disease expert for new details for handling this for your family. refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year.

i urge you to call newday usa now. 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.

raising questions about the readiness of u.s. hospitals. facilities stockpiling splice for a potential spike in patient experts reminding us to remain vigilance with hygiene.

>> wash your hands frequently. you could do things when you come out of doorknobs that are not a major way of transmitting but wipe it down. wash your hands. if you feel sick, segregate yourself from the vulnerable people. >> you heard it before and hearing it again. dr. lipkin from the center for infection and immunity at columbia university. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> it's a simple suggestion. something we try to do. we should do more. what are some of the things to prevent the spread of this? >> you just played a tape from dr. fauci. >> yes. >> i am in complete accord with his recommendations. we think virus spreads through close con tact. either person-to-person or by

aerosols that come from people's nose or mouth and gets on surfaces where it can live for up to 72 hours and you transfer it to yourinose or mouth. in addition to wiping down surfaces, you can wear gloves. try to avoid touching your face until you have recently washed your hands with soap and water. >> we have a list of the some of the best practices. a few of them on the screen. can you add to this list or comment on it. wash hands at the door and regular intervals. change clothing coming home from a bubble space. wash your coat. and: limiting eating in public spaces. if sick call your doctor or

hospital to see about being testing. comment on anything you want to add on the list. >> those are all useful. wash your coat every so often is more difficult for people. and obviously if you are in a public space, the further you can sit away from someone else the better off you will be. as far as we can tell the aerosol travels 3 feet or less. rarely as much as 6 feet. the other thing that some people recommend doing is wearing masks. there is some evidence to suggest that is useful. they don't have to be n-95. they discourage from touching your nose or mouth. if you fiddle with them it's counterproductive. >> that's an interesting take. we have different suggestions

from doctors that say it helps keep the virus contained when you are wearing a bask. not -- mask. here's the "wall street journal" did morning on the hospital situation and medical supplies. u.s. hospitals face major challenges. they are scrambling for beds and searching for medical supplies and ensuring there are enough doctors and nurses. how concerned about that are you? >> very concerned. and i am particularly concerned about making certain we protect those individuals who not only work in these spaces but also where the virus may be circ lating and causing damage. nursing homes where they take care of the elderly. care takers for the elderly who do in home visits. they are at high risk for carrying something from the community into their patients.

>> i saw on social media the dean of the university of washington medical school was urging graduate students to pause their research and help that medical school with testing. are you hearing about people pitching in to work together? >> we are all pitching in. here at columbus university we have people in the school of public health and the medical school working not only on improving diagnostics. getting test kits has been difficult. but in addition trying to come up with solutions for people who are already sick. one. things that i talked about on fox recently has been the importance of potential therapy of people who have recovered from infection. they may be able to donate

plasma to help save those with this. >> the reaction we had seen from local cities and beyond. we will talk to the mayor of new rochelle. who is dealing with a cluster. should say this is an overreaction. where do you stands on the closing of schools and theme parks? >> the economic impact of thosing those is one thing. it makes sense to do. the concern about closing schools in the inner cities. some children have no place to go if they don't go to school. and for some it's the only meal they get every day. we have to come up with alternatives so the children don't suffer. >> congress is working to help children and senior citizens who

needs food as well. we appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. >> we are 8th new york's governor cuomo. his state will open it's first drive through coronavirus testing site. we will bring you his remarks live. the bad news? so will this recital. depend® fit-flex underwear offers your best comfort and protection guaranteed. because, perfect or not, life's better when you're in it. be there with depend®. and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu & doug with this key to the city. [ applause ]

it's an honor to tell you that liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. and now we need to get back to work. [ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> ♪ >> governor andrew cuomo speaking on the ground in new rochelle, new york. hard hit by the coronavirus. let's listen in. >> he works with me in my office and has been coordinating this response. we are in new rochelle this morning. new rochelle has the highest cluster of coronavirus cases in the country. the highest density of cases. we made new rochelle a containment zone which means we closed the schools. we closed the large gatherings and we brought in the national

guard to help the community. the national guard has been helping clean. they have been distributing meals and they is really done an outstanding job. i want to thank them very much. thank you for the beautiful job. let's give them a round of applause. >> [applauding]. >> as you know, our strategy in this state and what communities across the country are trying to do slow the spread of the virus. there are two ways. first reduce density and concentration of people so you reduce literally the likelihood of communicating the disease. we announceded yesterday reduci large cathers -- gatherings. that's density reduction. the second leg is testing, testing, testing. you want to find the positive cases because you want to

isolate them and find out who that person may have been in touch with so you can get them the assistance they need. this is a very creative way of testing. this is drive-thru testing. drive-thru testing means people can call a telephone number and make an appointment and come to be tested and literally drive through the testing facilities. you drive in and the medical staff comes to you and takes the swab. you pull out and the test is sent to a laboratory.

in this case they do the testing and we get the results back for the person. they can do 200 cars per day. it's not only faster and easier. it's also smarter and safer because you are not exposing people who a person who may be positive. up until now if someone thinks they are positive they might walk into a hospital. they are exposing people in the emergency room. they are exposing staff. it's safer to keep them in their cars so they can come into the testing. it's less exposure overall. we have a phone number. you can't just come. you have to call and make an appointment. each car is here for about 15

minutes. we are prioritizing people in new rochelle first because again that's where we want to reduce the cases. people from west chester can be served at this facility. we are prioritizing vulnerable populations. this is what we have to keep in mind. many people will be exposed to this virus. many people have already been exposed to this virus. didn't know it and have self-resolved. they thought they had the flu and they are now better. they may have mild symptoms. many people have already been exposed to the virus. 80% of the people will

self-resolve. our priority because our concern is the vulnerable population: senior citizens. people with compromised immune systems and with underlying illnesses especially respiratory illness. this is pneumonia. for 80% of the people you will self-resolve god bless. we are focussing on the vulnerable populations and need to keep that in mind. this facility is new and different. i understand that. but our job is to find ways to respond to the situation and this is a new situation. by definition, you are going to see new and different responses to it. that's what you are seeing here.

i spoke to vice-president pence yesterday. i want to thank the vice-president who has been very cooperative. on the issue of testing i think the federal government should decentralize testing. rather than trying to control it all through washington and the cdc and the fda, the volume is just too high. states regularly regulate labs. we have 200 private labs in the state of new york. those laboratories are doing hiv testing and all sorts of testing for us. our state department of health regulates those 200 labs. let the federal government decentralize the authority to the state governments and say to the state governments, god bless you. you can go authorize testing.

you can authorize what is calling automated testing which takes the lab capacity from 30 tests a day to like 1,000 tests per day. but, we do have a crisis in testing. we are not up to scale. you need to change that quickly. and let the federal government turn that function over to the states. the states do it anyway. that is our bread and butter. you could open up 500 to 1,000 laboratories overnight if you just turn that responsibility back to the states. i hope the federal government takes this recommendation seriously. i know in new york, we have dozens of laboratories that could start testing tomorrow and could increase their capacity dramatically if we let it up to the state bodies.

i also in closing i want to say a special thank you to the healthcare professionals who are here. these nurses and doctors they get into this line of work because they have a calling and they have a passion to help other people. as simple but as profound that is. there is no finer demonstration of that than what you are seeing today. people who come here to help other people. put themselves in a precarious position just to help other people. it says something about who they are and about their character and about their heart and their soul that just truly beautiful when i respect and admire. i am very grateful for them. i thank each and every one of them. not just here at this facility but across the state who are in

emergency rooms and laboratories today who are stepping up to help their brothers and sisters. it's humanity at its best. in times of crisis we tend to see what people are really made of. you see the good and the bad. but today the people who are working here are showing us the best. i respect them and i thank them all. we will have a capacity starting next week to do 5,000 tests per day. with bio-reference. that's a huge step forward. i want to thank them very much. and northwell and michael who i had the accomplish -- pleasure of working for many years.

michael worked the greatest governor in new york. mario cuomo who had michael as his health commissioner. my father was a great judge of character and talent as evidenced by michael. i give you michael dowing. thank you. >> [applauding]. >> thank you very much. thank you governor for being here and thank you also for your extraordinary leadership during this time and this crisis. you are having daily briefings and your actions demonstrate leadership at its best. you are being practical, focussed, humane. entrepreneural and calming down the public because anxiety and

fear we have to deal with. that's a responsibility of everybody including the media. we have to deal with the issue, but we have to deal with the issue of anxiety and the virus itself and the anxiety surrounding it. this is a unique facility. this shows that the entrepreneurship in new york. i don't think it exists any place at the moment. a facility like this is unique. a vision of the governor to create this is extraordinary. i am delighted to be a partner with the governor on this. at this time, it's important for all of us to be partnering together. the public, the private labs, and all of the other entities out there around the region working together. this is a time for unity and not division. this is a time for to us think of community at large, and i am

a very strong believer as the governor indicated many times in the past, we are going through a lot of inconvenience, but we will win this. it may take sometime. but we need a dose ofsystem in . the staff are on the front lines each and every day. also having some anxiety but coming to work to do what they need to do and take care of the public. it's amazing that at a time like this where healthcare is on the front lines across the board, the public -- politicians who criticize healthcare should realize this is when healthcare is needed the most. at northwell we have a phrase we use. it was developed by the staff which said we are made for this. we are made for this. the state is made for this. we will deal with this issue and

we will win. with the leadership of governor cuomo, i have no doubt we will be in the front lines of innovation and creativity and eventually succeed. thanks for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. new york is made for this. new york is a place of challenges. we meet them and overcome and michael is right, we will do that again here. questions? >> [inaudible]? >> two parts to your question. first how long it facility will be opened? will be opened as long as it needs to be open.

i don't believe this will be a short term issue. i think we are looking at a matter of months and people should put that in their expectation. it could 7 to 9 months affair. watching the trajectory of the virus. i think people should start to recognize that. this is not going to be over in 30 days or in a couple of weeks. there will be waves that go higher or slower. it will be a prolonged situation. we should be ready for that. the testing -- this country is belined on testing. everybody knows that. hind on testing. everybody knows that. i want not big on lamenting about yesterday. we plan for tomorrow. how do we quickly bring testing up to where it needs to be? what i am saying to the federal

government, let new york do its thing. we have the ability to bring on dozens of laboratories, increase by several thousands in a matter of week our testing capacity if the federal government just decentralizes the authority to the states. they should have had a good conversation with the vice-president. i think he heard me. he said he would get back. i hope for a favorable response. >> governor, [inaudible]? >> the telephone number i gave you. they make an appointment and they come here by car once they have an appointment and they drive in. there are 6 lanes. you get tested in the car. don't expose nichols. you -- anyone else.

you go back home and they call you with the results. the priority is new rochelle and vulnerable populations. that's what this is all about, my friends. this is about senior citizens and vulnerable populations. people with existing respiratory illnesses. this is about nursing homes. senior assisted facilities. that's the focus. i know everybody is anxious. michael is right. you look at the news, you get anxious. 80% -- look at the numbers. we have facts. we have facts where this virus has been tracked since the first case in china. johns hopkins does daily numbers. we know how many people have had the virus and how many people have recovered. if you know the facts, the facts

defeat fear in this case. i understand the anxiety but we have to be realistic about what we are dealing with. >> governor, you want more tests. there is a perception that new york has more tests than another states. what are you doing differently? >> we have -- we have been more aggressive about utilizing state testing capacity. but, we can't do more than the federal government allows us to do. we have tremendous testing capacities it we are liberated by the federal government. we have 200 laboratories in new york. the state department of health regulates them now. when you go for a blood test for whatever reason, you go to a laboratory that is regulated by the state of new york. let us open up that mechanism to

do these tests. this is not a complicated test. it's a virus test. we have many labs with this capacity. thus far, the federal government has been controlling the testing. we want the state to be able to control it. let us use our labs and get the capacity up. we have a prioritization of tests. if you just said tomorrow anybody wants a test can have a test. you would have a line that went around the state. everybody is so anxious. let me get a test and find out. we prioritize who can get a test first to bring rationality to the system. we will have thousands of tests available next week if the federal government heeds our plea and lets us turn on our

capacity and use our state assets. we could have many, many more. >> governor! [inaudible]? >> they have our guidance. our guidance is this: if you have a child who tests positive in your school, the school must close for 24 hours so we can disinfect the entire school. and then during that 24-hour period, we will talk to that local school district and find out the facts and circumstances and make the decision. any superintendent can decide to close their schools. many have. it's a local decision. it's not a state decision. the only mandate we have if you have a positive child you must

close for 24 hours. you have many school districts that are closing for one reason or another. to do mass closings of schools sentence without consequence. schools also run food programs for many students. you close schools, now what do you do with the children who are home all day? you close schools, you now have parents who can't go to. work. you have parents working in healthcare facilities who can't go to work. it's not that easy. >> governor, i am a residents of new rochelle. many people not showing symptoms would like to be testing. you could explain why they don't get a test? >> you are much less contagious if you are not showing symptoms. what this testing is all about

is identifying the person who is positive because that person could spread the disease. you spread it when you have symptoms. you spread is because you sneeze or cough and it's on your hands and you put it on the counter top. you cough and other people breathe in the drop lets. if you are not showing symptoms, in all probability, you are not contagious. there is always the exception to every rule by the way. as a general rule that is true. if you have to prioritize, you prioritize people who are showing symptoms. that's just common sense. >> is there also an amount of viral load in your system that you won't revert to positive? >> that i don't know.

>> [overlapping talking]. >> every country is taking their own approach. has this been modelled after a certain country? >> this is the new york model. everyone is designing a model that works for them and this was designed for this location. the testing is straightforward. the swabs are straightforward and the testing is straightforward. the problem, the log jam in the testing hasn't been the testing kits. when you hear the federal government say we sent out millions of testing kits. the testing kits is the swabs. the container that the swabs go in. there are plenty of test kits. the problem is there are no labs to do the test. no labs that were authorized by

the federal government. no labs were allowed to do automating testing. that's what it sounds like. manual very automated. manual testing, northwell with do about 30 tests per day. automated they can do 1,000 tests per day. that's the issue on the testing. >> [inaudible]? >> at this facility do we know? 24 to 48 hours. >> last question, guys. >> [shouting]. >> [inaudible]? >> yes. yes. look, it's common sense. what did we do in new rochelle? we closed the schools and limited gatherings before we put in effect the rules yesterday.

limit the mass gatherings. that's where it's going to transfer. you want to reduce the spread. i know it's inconvenient. i have many people make that point to me very loudly. better we inconvenience ourselves and take the necessary measures now and try to reduce the rate of spread because at the end of the day. we are trying to make the spread of the disease a rate that our healthcare system can accommodate. that's what this is all about. mostly for vulnerable people. i get the anxiety. this is like a science fiction motive. virus spreading. i get it. -- movie. you can't disregard facts and data. that has to be factored in.

yes, this will be inconvenient. yes, people are anxious. but, that's new york at its best. that's the challenge we rise to. we need a level of consideration and how we conduct ourselves. a level of consideration in how we treat one another. we have to understand this is not quick. this is not short term. we have to settle in for a long ride. but, i have no doubt that at the end of the day, we will be through this and we will be the stronger and the better for it just like every other situation that we have gone through. >> thank you. good bless you. >> you were listening to the governor of new york andrew cuomo. a positive message. he said we will get through this and be better. >> 328 cases in new york state,

148 right there in westchester county. he is at the epicenter in unusual. -- new rochelle. they opened up drive-thru testing in that town. leave it to the states said the governor. >> a new hour. we are watching the markets and more. when did you see the sign? when i needed to jumpstart sales. build attendance for an event. help people find their way. fastsigns designed new directional signage, and got them back on track. get started at fastsigns.com from across the city to come to this fellowship distribution spot and get food that they can't afford.

we are just in the second inning and industries need financial support including the airline industry. >> listen. >> i have spoken to all of the airlines ceo. that's the next priority on my list only because it's critical that we have domestic airline travel and no different than after september 11th. this hit the airline industry particularly hard. i can also tell you hotels, cruise lines and small businesses. these are all areas that we are focussed on. >> president trump hammering the fed chairman powell to put interest rates and stimulate the economy. he beated the federal reserve must lower the fed rate to that of central banks. it should never had been this way and also stimulate. the president pushing congress

>> i feel fine. i am doing this as a precaution. i don't want to take a chance to infect anybody else. i will be quarantined for 14 days. i will do everything to make wooer see -- sure we continue to improve our response. we have to make sure people doing the protective tests are in protective gear and not done in the e.r. then everybody in the e.r. has to go into quarantine. i think we should secure our whole border and no one should get on a plane if they have a temperature. we have to check people if they have temperatures. we have to take this seriously. we can get this behind us. >> serious indeed. what about the economic side. florida the economy based big

time on tourism. when even you as a florida senator are saying look if you have a temperature, you should not be getting on a plane. we are seeing on social media planes that are empty. going to florida, california, or anywhere else. talk about the economic impact on your state right now. >> well, it's having a dramatic economic impact. i was with the tsa administrator on tuesday. the airports were down 25% across the country. we know that tourism is 1 out of every 6 jobs if your state. whatever tactic we come up with, the most important thing to do is get the coronavirus behind us but how do we take care of the taxi drivers? we have to do everybody. i look forward to working with my colleagues to come up with

something that keeps this economy going and helps people get past this crisis. >> on that possible deal. wall street is watching. people across the country who need paid sick leave. the president is talking about a payroll tax cut. what is your sense about where this deal will wind up and how quickly we will see it? >> i think we are all working on it. the majority leader asked us for our ideas last night. whatever we do on top of the $8 billion we put in, the healthcare side of the coronavirus, i want to get mobile testing sites up now. we have to make sure that the small businesses stay in business. we have to help everybody we can. at the same time we know we are running a deficit. we have to do this smartly in a

way that gets the economy going. don't do it to where we waste our money. >> 30 seconds. the president is having a news conference 3 p.m. eastern time. what do you want to hear from the president? >> i want to hear they are planning on mobile testing sites and making sure we have plenty of tests. i want to hear he will secure the border. i want people to get more information out and i want to make sure no one gets on mass trancesit if you have a temperature. we talk about washing hands and social distancing. that does work. >> all right. senator, rick scott, we wish you well and thanks for coming in, sir. >> coronavirus fears gripping the nation cause something people to lose their cool. >> [no audio]. >> well, you can see it happening on the ground in the store there. shoppers arguing over stacking

occupy some of the supplies. they are flooding the stores. >> yes, plus the national guard arrive to help a new york city suburb with one of the highest numbers of coronavirus cases in the nation. and the mayor of new rochelle will join us. >> and alexandria ocasio-cortez joined bret baier last year and what she saidlet to bernie sanders big loss in michigan. voter suprescription. what does karl rove say about that? >> i think bernie sanders is continuing to do a great job of pushing to make sure we have a party agenda that fights for working people. year lows. my team's working overtime to make sure every veteran can refinance now to save $2000 every year

-- america. can hospitals handle a worse case scenario. doctor, what are your thoughts about whether hospitals are ready for what could be a big rush? >> well, if you can see what is happening right now. hospitals are taking precautions and actions to prepare. i know that many hospitals in new york are order thinking about cancelling and postponing elective surgeries. and upping capacity outside of the icu. it's important to take all of these initiatives. we are doing the best we can. there is a lot to be seen about how the epidemic will roll out. if we can mitigate and smooth the demand, we will be in a much better position to handle the cases that do come in. >> absolutely. >> we look at the stats.

hospitals across the country over 6100. staffed beds 924,000. but you see this article in the guardian said look at statistics. it's likely more than 30% of the whole uk population will get covid-19. maybe as high as 60%. most will have no or mild illness. 1 in 7 will needs hospital admission. patients in hospital 1 in 5 may need icu care. that's unprecedented. that's in the u.k. we have seen similar predictions in america. how do we ramp up? >> well, we are taking some of the proactive issues. to increase capacity as much as possible. when that is not possible. we need to think about the

coronavirus patients most at risk. research shows early intervention shows prognosis for patients who need to go to the icu and their length of stay can be reduced. we act quickly. then we can with the same amount of capacity enable yourselves to treat more patients and reduce the overall deaths. >> that's a positive outlook. the new york governor andrew cuomo had a news conference where he pointed out optimism in his state right here. people are getting the coronavirus but some are bouncing back and getting through it. he believes the state and the country will get through it. an important message. final question, we have seen and watched with horror what happened with hospitals in italy. in the last-minute we have, what lessons have we learned from that? >> well, it's been challenging.

with italy, what can we do to take sure we don't get to that point. things can spiral out of control quickly. important to listen to the government officials and the cdc and start taking those measures like social distancing. managing our resources effectively and monitoring the patients we have and reduce the risk of infection. >> we sort through all of these statistics and the numbers. it can get daunting. you are giving us some optimism that as we ramp up we will be ready for it. doctor, we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. >> good information. international war of words over the virus between the u.s. and china. the threat from beijing and what

can could mean for americans in need of medications. y should." but, i just don't think you need a separate private plane. but i, but i want it! hey, buddy. what's the damage? i bought it! the waterfall? nope! a new volkswagen. a volkswagen?! i think we're having a breakthrough here. welcome to caesar's palace. thank you. >> tech: don't wait for a chip like this to crack your whole windshield. with safelite's exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you.

>> ♪ >> ♪ >> one thing that is not being talked about is the voter suppression in this country. those kids were waiting 3 hours in line to vote in michigan. >> you are saying you think voters didn't get to vote that wanted to vote in michigan? >> absolutely. there is more we need to do in

terms of turning out youth voters. you should not wait 3 to 7 hours to vote. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez on "special report" last night with bret baier suggest voter suppression cost bernie sanders in michigan. karl rove, what did you think of that reasoning for bernie sanders loss in that important state? >> well, let's let the numbers speak for themselves. joe biden got 838,000 and bernie sanders got 76,000. there was a large gap between the 2 men. every degree serving student in michigan, there are 450,000 of them. a bunch of those students

already turned out. the exit polls say 16% of the turnout were people between the ages of 18 to 29. they broke for bernie sanders with 76% of the vote. 193,000 to 61,000 for joe biden. it's impossible that the only reason bernie sanders lost in michigan was that they had polling places in a county that caused students to stand in line that doesn't make sense. she and a lot of other democrats are tossing this voter suppression charge at the republicans saying it's a dirty trick by the republicans. i checked this morning. the city's mayor is a democrat. there are 5 wards with 2 council members. of those 10 council members 9 are democrats and 1 is an

independent. there is not a single republican involved in setting the poling places in the university of michigan. if she has a problem with election officials not getting the votes out. go complain to fellow democrats. we have the same situation in texas. texas southern university texas had to wait 7 hours at this black university. and the county executive is lina, a democrat. and the person in charge of the election process is mark sullivan, a democrat. maybe some students didn't vote. it's not the 300,000 plus that was the difference between bernie sanders winning and losing. >> you brought the white board. karl rove, it was great to have her come on the network. she talked about a lot of other things and the demographics that

bernie sanders courted. the younger voters. he got the majority of them. and the older voters that voted in michigan. joe biden the most 69%. can joe biden court some of those bernie sanders voters? that's a big question. the headline in the guardian: bernie or bust. sanders fans that will never vote for biden. supporters are frustrated with an election system they say works against their candidate. can he court some of those voters? >> well, he better. in the exit polls only 2 out of 5 bernie sanders supporters if michigan said they would support the democratic ticket in the fall. 60% were murky in the question. that's a big number. in 2016, on the low end 7 to 8% on the high end it's as high of

12% of bernie sanders supporters vote for donald trump in the winning election. that's more than his winning margin. donald trump won michigan by 11,000 votes. bernie sanders got 3 should odd -- excuse me. 500,000 votes. if 10% said i will vote for donald trump that's 5 time trump's winning margin in the state in 2016. >> we appreciate your analysis. we have breaks. -- breaking news. see you soon. >> in texas, this is dallas, texas. they just announced that there is a state of disaster they are declaring. they are limiting crowd sizes to 500 people. similar to what is happening in

new york city. let's listen in. >> that's one of the main things we discuss is how we can cushion the blow the best we can to make sure that the economic impact that we know will feel is not borne exclusively by those who hurt the most at the lower rungs of the economic ladder. we want to make sure we don't make it worse in this already difficult time. we will try to figure out ways to keep people employed and make sure that people don't have their lives turned upside down by this. this decision and all other decisions we will make in connection with this coronavirus is that it will be based on public health. keeping in mind we don't want to do anything to unnecessarily impact the economy. >> last one. any other questions from our

media first? yes. >> [inaudible]. >> announceable. -- >> you are asking a procedur question. if someone thinks they have it, what do they do? >> anyone with questions reach out to the dallas county health and human services phone bank. we can get you that information once we have concluded. those who have established relationships with a physician's office or healthcare provider or health system, they should call ahead. don't rush off to a doctor's office and not to an emergency

department. get some expert advice. get the questions answered on the phone and take some responsibility and not expose others whether you have the common cold, seasonal flu or any other problem. call ahead. check with your healthcare provider. if that's not an option for you call the dallas county health and human services phone bank. we will work within the city to develop additional resources of the clearing house for information. >> thanks for coming. we appreciate it. >> all right. would you were listening to the mayor there and health officials. some people will have questions. could have symptoms. they set up a phone bank there to help guide people to the doctor or to get some answers

and limiting crowds to 500 people in dallas. that's similar to was happened in new york city. the president is getting ready to have a news conference at 3 p.m. eastern. he may announce more national measures as mayors and governor's are making their own decision. >> we will hear from the president at 3 p.m. eastern time. then fox news alert. the brazilian president originally tested positive for covid-19, but then a second test as of moments ago has come back negative. just days after meeting with president trump in mar-a-lago in florida. joining us by 69 is his son eduardo. >> thanks for the opportunity. just received the news confirming that his test was negative for covid-19.

we say coronavirus here. >> that's the strain causing problems all over the world. what happened? did your father first get tested and tested positive? >> i don't have this information. the information i have is the news that just came up telling he is negative for coronavirus. i heard it was positive in the first exam. this is something i don't know. everything is good now. >> okay. was he tested multiple times? was this his first test that came up negative? >> yes, yes. i just watched some of the news. i have to get more information about what is going on.

there were other people that went to the u.s. we are waiting for tests for the other guys. >> is your father showing any symptoms? is he ill? >> no, no, he is okay. go ahead. >> he is okay. we know key with -- we know we can host the virals 1 or 2 weeks. >> one of your father's aids did test positive. is your father taking extra precautions? >> i think so. for me, i changed my agenda. we are waiting for what the doctors tell us. >> okay. to confirm, your father has been

tested for the covid-19 strain of the coronavirus and tested negative. that goes against reports that were coming the last hour or so that he tested positive. just want to confirm that first? >> the test is negative! the first one i don't know how to tell you. >> [overlapping talking]. >> he was meeting with the president on saturday in palm beach, florida. it would be another situation that the president of our country was shaking hands with him and that would indicate he would need testing or to self-quarantine. >> yes. [audio breaking up]. [inaudible]. everybody who was over there,

everybody who was there should do the test. for everybody's safety. i mean. >> has there been communication with the white house on this? >> yes, yes. the president got in touch with the white house for sure. they are telling everything to the white house. >> the son of the president of brazil confirming his father tested negative for covid-19. we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. >> good information there. the officials working to curve the coronavirus out break in a new york city suburb. a containment zone is in place. the national guard arrives to help out. we will hear from the mayor of new rochelle next. plus the governor of ohio ordering all schools to close starting next week. health experts estimate there

could be 100,000 cases in that state. efforts to fight the virus in ohio coming up.

>> ohio's governor warning with the rampant spread of the virus in the united states. there may be as many as 100,000 undiagnosed cases in his state. he banned some large gatherings. he is live in chicago with more details in the midwest. >> and the ohio governor is getting credit for being aggressive and closing all schools. michigan governor followed. the list of states is of closing schools is growing. the thinking on the part of the state leaders is not good news.

governor believes 1% of the state has the virus. public gatherings need to be limited to blunt the spread. >> we believe this is throughout the state of ohio. >> this is a necessary step to protect kids, teachers and families and public health. >> what we do not see as steps taken by all school districts. denver schools extended spring break. in washington state 3 counties closed but not a state mandate. in kentucky the governor recommended that schools closed but did not mandate closers. in illinois the governor banned all events larger than 1,000 people but left the schools open. catholic grade schools were

closed. there are concerns about males for disadvantaged kids. for the parent, i can't point to you a consistent step. check with your local school district. >> mike, thank you. >> the national guard rolling into new rochelle, new york, yesterday to manage a 1 mile containment zone in the hard hit community just north of new york city. new rochelle's mayor is joining us now by 69. good morning and thanks for being here. >> good morning. >> you had a visit from the governor. andrew cuomo spoke on the ground there. first off, how is this working? this one mile containment zone in new rochelle? >> well, let's be clear on what it is and isn't. within that area large skimmi s skimmings -- institutions are prohibited from having large gatherings. it's not an exclusion zone.

people are not prevented from coming and going. no restrictions on individuals or businesses. even though this is disruptive, schools are closed and it affects thousands of people. focus should not have the impression we are under lock down or marshall law. that's not the case. >> perhaps a miscommunication of some sort. we have a resident of your community call in. he was guaranteed inside his home. we spoke with him on wednesday on this program. he said he felt like he was not supposed to leave. >> well, let's clarify. there are certain individuals who are subject to quarantine because they were exposed to a carrier of the virus. that's distinct from the geing on graphic containment.

if you have not had direct exposure, you are free. >> he was in his mid 80s. he said he felt comfortable with the amount of food he had. he was out of out water. some broke in his home. the national guard's responsibility is to clean the possible infected areas. can they help residents contained in their home? >> as we learn about situations we do our best to respond. the guard has been coordinating with the school district and not for profit agencies to deliver meals and supplies and clean public facilities. we are grateful to have them here. he need those resources. >> how many tests do you have available there for residents coming through the drive-thru line? >> the governor announced the

new drive-thru facility can accommodate hundreds of people today. people can't just show up. they have to speak to their doctor first or call. >> it will be interesting to see how the containment zone and the drive-thru facility in new rochelle how it all works. we would like to follow-up with you. thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> all right, a cruise line in trouble this morning. a whistleblower claims managers tried to get the sales department to spread misinformation about the coronavirus to get new customers. the legal ramifications on that next. here's record-breaking news for veterans. va mortgage rates have dropped to near 50-year lows. newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. newday's va streamline refi makes it fast and easy

know. whether this person believed that or they were willfully m misrepresenting. >> we have a quote. the only thing you need to worry about the email said for your cruise is do you have enough sunscreen. the coronavirus can only survive in cold temperatures so the caribbean is a fantastic choice for your next cruise. real quick, the norwegian cruise line said we are aware of the latest developments and will share our updated policy shortly. thanks for your patience and understanding. we will continue to do the best we can to provide you and all of our guests through this period. would customers have recourse when an email from the sales team says all you need is sunscreen? >> there will be lawsuits about this. lawyers jump on these things.

a lot of things a passenger would have to prove. that they relied on that information that it's safe and taking the cruise. they have to prove on the cruise they got coronavirus and they had a financial loss. despite the fact that all of those different things may become harder to prove, i anticipate that lawyers will create a case out of this. this is what lawyers are good at. the important question is whether that person who spread that information knew it was untrue and whether the higher ups at norwegian were aware this manager was spreading this misinformation. >> cruise companies stocks have been battered. we feel for them but if this is going on, it will bring less sympathy to these companies. with lawsuits and it will play out. heather, we appreciated you coming in. >> thanks. >> keep it right here for continuing coverage of the
