right now. because we are in a state of panic. everyone is a little bit nervous. the way to get through this is transparency and education. the better people understand the better it will be for us all. pete: bill passed late last night. when the president was in the rose garden yesterday it was still uncertain would this bill pass? he ultimately did. we will get a report right now. combating the coronavirus on capitol hill. overnight house lawmakers pafrs ago coronavirus response act to help american families. jedediah: president trump now expressing support for the legislation as the bill could soon hit the senate floor. nicole: garrett tenney, good morning. >> the bill is expected to take up next week the timing up in the air. possible it doesn't get a vote to early liver to mid next week. there was a lot of negotiation about this bill it wasn't until after president trump signaled his support for it that it passed early this morning. last night he tweeted, quote: i fully support hr 6201.

families first coronavirus response act which will be voted on in the house this evening. this bill will follow my direction for free coronavirus tests and paid sick leave for our impacted american workers. i have directed the secretary of treasure and secretary of labor issue regulations that would provide flexibility in no way will small businesses be hurt. i encourage all republicans and democrat to come together and vote yes. i will always put the health and well-being of american families first. i look forward to signing the final bill asap. here is house speak nancy pelosi reacting to the bill passing this morning. >> we did what we said we were going to do, put families first with paid sick leave, paid sick days, family and medical leave, unemployment insurance for the children. over 20 million children get their meals at school. they have food insecurity and this bill addresses that. >> there are now more than 2100 confirmed cases of the

coronavirus in the u.s. across 49 states and d.c. with more than 50 deaths due to the disease. after the house passed its version of the bill. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said in part, quote: of course senators will need to carefully review the persian just passed by the house. i believe the vast majority of senators in both parties will agree we should act swiftly to secure relief for american workers, families, and small businesses. it's important to note that congressional leaders have said this bill is just the first step they are taking to help the country respond to the virus and lawmakers are already working on additional legislation. back to y'all. pete: garrett, thank you. jed, there are were a lot of questions whether republicans and democrats would come together. jedediah: exactly putting america first. we have action to coronavirus tersing. sick leave. enhances unemployment insurance.

strengthens food insecurity initiatives increases federal medicaid funding to the states. right now you have the left, the right, the republicans and democrats coming together and prioritizing the american people first and what they need to do. we have some sound from speaker pelosi and house minority leader mccarthy on both sides coming together. let's take a listen. >> we thought it would be important to show that the american people to assure the american people that we are willing and able to work together to get a job done for them. so we thank our republicans -- those who will be supporting the bill. we appreciate the president joining us with his tweet. >> i think this is a really good sign that shows bipartisan, working together. that we can overcome this virus. pete: doctor, the senate now is going to not leave for a work session in their home districts. they are going to stay to try to get this done for the senate. for front line doctors and people dealing with this, what will this bill mean? nicole: this bill means

everything to us. i want to explain something to people. some people are confused i thought president trump declared an emergency in january. he did. that's called a public health emergency. he did that at the same time as the initial travel ban that was mid january that helped mobilize people to get to the areas where we are bringing people back into the united states and doing the quarantines. what happened this week is what we call the national emergency act -- well, the national emergency act and he initiated several laws, the stafford act which gives us all the funding and it enables us to actually utilize these funds to get the treatment to the patient and also under the national emergencies act this modifies the regulations with medicare and medicaid and really really just cuts through that red tape which he loves to do to allow us to see more patients and specifically for tele health medicine, there is a big issue with that when doctors are being able to communicate with patients we have regulations you can't cross state libraries. you have to be registered in

each state. that's a big problem with telemedicine. what this is doing is allowing doctors to see patients all over. we don't want patients just rushing to the emergency departments. something this also does is allows the government to now come in and set up mobile healthcare sites like we saw in china and other places. so if. respirators and other patients. that is what we needed. we needed funding which they did and now we also need what they have been able to do is just mobilize and give us the support we need. now we are able to cut through the red tape. pete: president had talked about free coronavirus testing. gets passed in the senate which people think will happen quickly. private partnerships, warmth an. cvs, a lot of these other stores

to provide pharmaceutical access for americans it looks like and when you look at the map right now where we are, 49 states plus d.c. 2,000 plus cases in the united states. 50 deaths. the goal here is to keep the level as low as possible for as long as possible, if i understand that correctly, doctor. that our healthcare facilities can manage the flow. nicole: absolutely. what president trump is trying to do taking it from a multifaceted approach. he is having to implement travel bans, we already have a lot of cases we have in the united states and proven community spread. not only needs mitigate the spread but stop new cases from come in. what is the sense of suppressing our community spread if we're allowing new cases come in. we'll be chasing our tails. is he hitting it from both angles. jedediah: i think it was really important to see the coming together of not only the federal funds and empowering local and state communities but also the ceos when you have representatives from places like cvs, walgreen's, these are powerful organizations that people look at and they rely on

to buy their products oftentimes to serving them to get their flu shots that they can say this is a place i trust. to say those ceos come out and say we stand with the president, whatever we need to do to secure the safety of the american people we will do. that a lot of confidence in the community they will have access to testing and have people behind them that they know and trust in the community to provide services for them in the past. they say okay, in the past i have been able to go walgreen's. i have been able to get my needs met by these people. i trust them and they were able to come through for me. pete: great point walmart and target normally competitors today we are patriots and do what we can for our nation. to dr. nicole's point, ultimately you affect the spread internally but also make sure you are protecting against the virus coming overseas. president's travel ban on certain european countries is going into effect now. what was put out is there are 13 airports where americans returning from restricted countries will travel through. so we have bans in europe, we have bans on travel from china

from iran. but if americans are returning people who have the right to come back to the united states chicago, dallas, detroit, hawaii. you have got atlanta, jfk, lax, miami, newark. dulles international airport in virginia. doctor, your reaction to the fact that we have restricted it to certain airports? nicole: i think it's a phenomenal idea. we want to make sure that we have enough people who are there who are able to screen these people. if you just let them come into any of the airports and we are going to be spread thin. we want to focus and that's what we did initially in january when we brought people to air force base. we focus. they went to very specific places. it wasn't a free for all. limiting the amount of airports people coming, in that's how we will have the most personnel there to screen and test and then kwaurpb teach if necessary. jedediah: important to note

americans coming in from hot spots. they will be questioned by medical examiners in the airport. you will have to talk about your medical history. they will be asked to self-quarantine. there are enormous measures to protect the citizens of this country. very multifaceted approach. i know a lot of people had been concerned saw the administration address. this saw the ceos address. this and saw what was going done at the airports and situation was managed properly and under control. that's a good sign. pete: stock market rallied big time the moment the president took the podium at the white house. we will continue to follow all morning long. overnight a barrage of rockets hit iraqi military base housing american troops for the second time this week. military officials say more than a dozen rockets landed inside the base. no word on deaths. iranian-backed forces used this truck to fire rockets at the same base earlier this week. the truck was found near the base outside baghdad.

two american service members were killed in the attack. iranian pro*bgsy proxies suspecn those attacks. overnight the pentagon banning all-american service members and their families from traveling inside the u.s. the defense department says the effort is to limit potential exposure to coronavirus. some exceptions will be made. rules starts on monday, expected to end in early may. third person testing positive for the coronavirus after meeting with president trump at his mar-a-lago resouter. the brazilian embassy says a diplomat tested positive days after he sat at a dinner table with president trump. a brazilian official seen here with president trump and vice president pence also testing positive. a third guest has not yet been named. president trump's doctor says he does not need to be quarantined because he had limited interaction with the infected visitor. and take a look at this. a time lapse video showing a super long line as shoppers rush to buy supplies amid the

with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-thru tests available in the critical locations identified by public health professionals. the goal is for individuals to be able to drive up and be swabbed without having to leave your car. jedediah: president trump announcing steps his administration is taking to make it easier for americans to get tested for covid-19. this comes as drive-thru testing centers begin rolling out in highly affected areas throughout the country including in new rochelle, new york. how will this help americans to get the care they need. fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel joins us now. welcome to the show. >> good morning, jedediah. jedediah: talk about the impact of this drive-thru testing. >> i think it's a terrific idea. working in south korea where they are testing over 20,000 people per day. it's essential when you consider that people don't want to put themselves at risk medically. you know, i have been trying for the last week or two to get testing done at some of the private labs that are doing this

like labcorp and quest. they have it. they are now getting it. but the lab technicians are not going to do it unless they are fully suited and protected. so the drive-thru allows people to set up that way. either a full hazmat suit or simply a shield, n 95 respirator mask, a gown, head wear, gloves, something where you are protected against the coronavirus. that's what you need. and this is easier for patients to actually go and get tested. not just people who might have mild symptoms but people who might have been exposed. and want to know and are worried this will help reassure people. jedediah: these are the businesses teaming up with the trump administration. walmart, cvs, target, walgreen's. for people who may not know exactly how this works. these parking lots are going to become kind of areas where people would go. how does the drive-thru testing work? you sit in your car. you don't have to get out. someone approaches the car with the hazmat suit on and what goes on exactly? >> you need to understand it's two specimens they need to take. one is from the throat.

so people out there know it's like a throat culture except it's a little deeper, they will go deeper with the throat culture. everyone has probably had one. the other one is a nasal swab also have to go deep to get enough of a specimen to know. a little uncomfortable for a minute or two. if someone doesn't know how to do that right end up with a false negative. they will think they don't have it and they might. jedediah: other topic i up to the talk about president trump announcing provisions for doctors and other states to be able to help those in critical states where outbreaks are on the rise. what the is impact of releasing or removing some of those regulatory mechanisms. >> absolutely huge, jedediah. there is three major medical centers in the country that are skilled and expert at quarantining. one is emory and bellevue hospital in new york which i am affiliated with. i was quarantine unit a couple weeks ago they are on the line all day long instructing other medical centers across the country how to quarantine

patients and do this without spread. they are heroes on the front line. some of the nurses and doctors there they are in constant contact with patients with coronavirus. they get tested all the time. and they don't turn positive because they know what they are doing. they know how to suit up and help each other suit down. this kind of expertise needs to be spread around the country and then healthcare workers won't be at as much risk. jedediah: in other words, the medical community are essentially enabling those who have the most skill and the most comfort when dealing with these issues to be able to help people in other states who may not have had as much experience in handling the dynamic of this virus. >> in china up to 1/3 of people infected were healthcare workers. this is something we need to avoid here. jedediah: i appreciate you being here and dr. siegel will be here later this morning. he will answer your questions about covid-19. please email your questions at friends@foxnews.com and he will be answering as many as he can thank you dr. siegel as always. >> thanks, jed. jedediah: the dow ending 2,000 points to end one of the worst

fear not knowing how long the virus would be with us slow down and economics activity and profits would be. and finally how the economy would be fundamentally altered once we came out. it seems as though investors have finally discounted that all out. and hopefully friday the bottom and we will start to go up from here. of course, you can never be sure. but it did show some signs of this being, you know, a lift. jedediah: peter, larry kudlow weighed in on the stock market. take a listen. >> the market went up 1,000 points. i think it's the biggest one-day rise in history. at least on the dow jones. the emergency declaration and the phenomenal partnership between the federal government and the private sector is break through stuff. absolute break through stuff that's going to get us closer to the end of this. this thing doesn't go on forever as some people are predicting. jedediah: so do you think that that partnership between the government and private sector was key here to that surge? >> i think it's very essential

to get the stuff out that we need. remember, this is still a free enterprise private sector economy. most important distributers of the things we need are web sites like amazon and stores like walmart and analogues that supply hospitals and so forth. this isn't china where you go to the government commissary to get the stuff you need. pete: that's true, peter. as we look forward to next week, what will the market be looking for? we have a weekend lull here. so many ups and downs this week. is there anything you think will drive effectively where the markets go next week? >> the spotlight now shifts to ceos people like tim cook have to show that they have a positive vision for their companies, how they are going to cope with what is going to be slowdown over the second and third quarters. you can't get around that. theaters are closed and all that also, how are they going to cope with the era beyond what changes make in their companies so we are not so vulnerable to china anymore? that's very critical that they

you express to investors how they will get there from here. jedediah: what is your advice to people at home they see their stocks and maybe if they panic they might be inclined to sell or what do you say to people who are watching closely and get nervous day to day? >> i have been getting phone calls from friends and relatives and people i hardly know. essentially stay put. don't do anything. we all should have some cash on hand. if you don't, shame on you. but, if you do that should carry you through. it's always best to recognize that the old rothschild family motto. sell to the sound of cheers and buy to the sound of cannons. these are cannons. this is the time to buy, not to sell. pete: good as vice. peter morici, thank you for your time this morning, we appreciate it. >> take care. pete: more and more people staying home as the pandemic grows. how can you stay healthy indoors. the tips to self-quarantine, coming up next. another office birthday.

jedediah: fox news alert. four major cruise lines suspending outbound trips over concerns of the croes. nicole: the pandemic causes closed stores from the apple stores to eiffel tower. pete: aishah with how to contain the spread. >> this is unprecedented. start with the latest on a growing list of closures. first up apple. apple becomes the first major retailer in the u.s. to close all of its stores because of the coronavirus. ceo tim cook says all apple stores except in china will remain closed for the next two weeks. meantime vacation plans ruined for millions of families. disneyland in california is closed today and disney world in florida will shut its doors starting monday until the end of march. now, this happens as four major cruise liners as you said are suspending operations immediately. carnival, royal caribbean, norwegian and msc canceling all

outbound trips for the next month. this as the world health organization calls europe the new epicenter of outbreak. iconic centers like the eiffel tower i was just there and the louvre museum all closed to the public. the french public banning any gathering of more than 100 people. one bright spot. movie theaters will remain but some are going to have some changes. amc, for example, capping ticket availability to 50% to create space and social distancing. and if you are stuck at home with the kids, there is always frozen, disney is releasing frozen 2 three months early to help families get through what they're call this challenging time and it's especially going to being for small businesses as more people continue to stay at home. times square last night walking through it. practically empty on a friday night. pete, jed, nicole? jedediah: thank you, aishah. pete: thank you very much.

nicole: it's interesting to see this. i agree with the cruise line closures because if you think about it you have hundreds of thousands of people on a very small space. look at what happened with the diamond princess. you had one of the largest infection rates outside of mainland, china because everyone is in such close contact. i know there are people who love their cruises and they look forward to them and, you know, they should just be postponed not cancelled. just know this is temporary and honestly this is all being done to really protect everyone. jedediah: yeah, and the movie theaters is interesting if they are going to cap. i go to sole cycle. they are going to free up every other bike trying to create this distance if somebody coughs there is that range of distance between you and another rider. seeing the same thing with movie theaters. any space really where you are stuck in an area with what could potentially be a lot of people. they will start to cap those to create that lower maximum. nicole: do need a start way creating distance between people which what we want.

we are not shutting everything down. we want people to continue doing their normal activities. we want them to continue living their lives in a safe way. pete: this by no ways shows panic. it's prudence. seeing companies say let's take these judicious measures right now because the longer we slow the spread of this our institutions can handle it. earlier we talked about walmart and target. those drive-thru lanes are not going to be ready tomorrow. it's going to take more time and we need more information. the longer you let it settle and get people positioned where they're. probably still order food to your house. local businesses are still operating. local restaurants are still operating. it's probably not a dine-in situation. you start to learn the hierarchy of needs, right? ultimately, it's the basics that become very important. it's grocery stores. it's pharmaceutical stores. it's hardware stores. the places that maybe sometimes you take for granted. right now the luxuries like theaters and iphones and things like that can wait a

little bit. nicole: walking through stores and seeing empty shelves concerning if they need something and they don't have it. this is where do i call upon the private sector saying you need to get this there. i know a lot of this does come from overseas. but we do have u.s. manufacturers that can produce. this and we really need to make sure that we are able to provide things. these empty shelves does cause some anxiety and some worry. we need to fill that i don't even care what you fill it with, but put something there so it doesn't look so desolate. jedediah: they weren't worried until they went to pick stuff up. suddenly they became 67 more anxiety ridden than they were before. private businesses, doctor's offices have been good to send emails out to alert people that they are following proper protocol. hand sanitizer on site deep cleaning offices to make people comfortable they can go to these places. they don't have to stop their lives completely. feel comfortable going to that office. if they are going to go to a

moe. the movie theater is taking this seriously and measure in place. important for people to show people they are handling it and on top of it and taking it seriously. that creates a calm among people who see those shovels and get really scared. we are going to turn to some headlines now. a fugitive wanted for murder is charged with killing a veteran police officer in philadelphia. corporal james o'connor was shot and killed trying to serve a warrant for hasan elliott. the 23-year veteran was a married father of two. his son is also a philadelphia police officer and his daughter served in the air force. flags in the city are being flown at half-staff in his honor. corporal o'conner neuropathy the 10 stperbsz sho* shot and killed in the line of duty this year. joe biden holding a virtual town hall as covid-19 takes candidates off the campaign trail. biden talking with supporters in illinois from 800 miles away in tkwraeur. biden and bernie sanders have both cancelled events because of the pandemic. sanders says a lack of rallies

country. largest one moving into the heartland. missouri seeing the back side. temperatures colder. actually seeing a little bit of snow this morning. that will not turn out to be a lot of snow. this is all the precipitation we are expecting over the course of the week. everything there in the blue is rain. just some very light snow fall running across the midwest and again it's been happening round after round but looking at more snow for pacific northwest and rain moving into the west coast. otherwise temperatures here this morning all that activity happening right along that frontal boundary warmer to the south. temperatures may be feeling a little bit more like winter. this is what we are looking at now, guys. just tracking those light showers. we will be warming up a little bit later this afternoon. pete: adam, thank you very much. is warmer temperatures something we know yet whether or not that affects the infrared spread of the virus. nicole: we tend to see lower viral intpebgsdzs during the summer months. that has to do with a multitude of reasons. one being the higher the temperature. the more humidity, it's harder

for respiratory drop let's to travel as far. don't go as far maybe not as contagious. when we have warmer weather we start opening windows driving with windows down and outside a lot more. not everyone is in the exact same space. you do tepid to see a decrease and i do think as we have heard dr. fauci say multiple times we expect to see equilibrium and then see a decrease of cases. we can't be surprised if we have a couple more upticks even through the summer months. we have to remember flu season actually starts in august. that's when we start encouraging people to get their flu shots. i encourage people when everything seems to be calm and there are a couple of upticks and you see some increased cases again, that's expected. you are going to seat spikes when you have something like this. pete: got it. thank you, doctor. nicole: of course. pete: across the nation americans are clearing shelves and stocking up as they spend more time at home amid the coronavirus. nicole: what steps should you take to stay healthy.

jedediah: here is dr. rasheda associate professor of medicine at nyu department of health. tell us ways people can self-quarantine without loses their minds quite frankly. >> right. this is for people who may have been with someone who was then later diagnosed. maybe they traveled to one of the suspect areas. they are not sure they have it. they want to be careful in their homes and maybe wait a couple weeks before really spending time with even their family members in their home. that's not always easy. number one try to isolate yourself as possible to one room. confine yourself to one room. your own bedroom and if possible your own bathroom. of course that's not possible for many people. so then what do you do? make sure that you are wiping all those shared surfaces. anything you touch with something that has bleach. disinfectant spray with bleach. using the wipes and of course you want to be washing your hands every time that you are touching something and also your family members as well.

you also want to make sure when you cough or when you sneeze you are covering your mouth with a tissue and then, what my kids do is blow on a tissue and leave it on the counter. immediately throw that tissue away in a lined garbage can and that garbage can should be emptied frequently. you shouldn't be the one preparing the food other people should be doing that if do you end up going into the kitchen, again, you really want to wipe everything down with bleach. and there are things that people don't often think about that they are touching that may be shared. of course we know you are not going to share a toothbrush. what about the toothpaste tube. interesting products came out from hello which is a single use chewable tablet of toothpaste. this is a way you can have your own dedicated toothpaste, no one else is going to be touching it. use it one time, chew it, you have your toothpaste there these are ways you have to be mindful of everything you are touching. things like makeup, actually. liquid makeup can store the virus and keep it there for days. you want to be avoiding makeup.

avoid wearing contact lends. encourages supreme to touch their eyes that we don't 79 to be doing right now. stick with glasses if possible. make sure you are mindful how you are interacting with other people. try to stay about 6 feet from other people in the home and, you know, a delivery person comes to the door and you answer it, in that one-minute interaction will, you know, you try to keep your distance. that's very unlike delay something is going to happen there. really you want to avoid the prolonged face-to-face contact and it does take a little bit longer than just a minute or so. nicole: those are great tips dr. raj, thank you for joining us. we appreciate your expertise. in a nutshell pretend that the virus is everywhere and everyone has it. right? continue to clean up after yourself and keep distance from people. if you do that you are definitely decreatessing your risk of not only inticketting others but getting infected yourself. is that fair to say? >> very fair. by the way, these are things we should be doing during flu season as well if you have the

nicole: now a fox news alert. the house overwhelming voting overnight to approve an economic relief package to curb the contact impact of coronavirus. pete: lance goodman joins us now. >> thanks for having me. pete: a vote late last night. you were one of the 40 no votes. explain what the bill does and why you didn't support it. >> first of all there is a lot of good in this bill. i'm told we are now speaking live on camera just five hours after the vote happened. the bill was put out about 45 minutes to an hour before that. and there is not one member of that chamber that voted yes or no last night that saw what they were voting on and actually had time to study it. perhaps nancy pelosi did because she was the only one that has been working on it for two days. there is increased funding and testing. these are wonderful things. this wasn't a comfortable no vote for me.

but, i can't in good conscience vote for something that i haven't read that has not been debated. we talked about it, i believe for 15 minutes it. required a two thirds vote to go around the normal debating process. but the senate already left town and yes this is a priority and yes this is an emergency. why did we need to do it at 1 clock in the morning if this is a great bill. you are asking me to comment on a bill to be honest with you i haven't been able to read all of it. i slept three hours before i came on the show and members didn't know what they were voting on and there was a lot of frustration and disappointment in the process. pete: congressman, there is certainly a sense of urgency. concern amongst conservatives is that democrats might use as it an opportunity to push spending bills they have long wanted that aren't related to coronavirus is that part of your concern also? >> that is. i am hearing things from my colleagues. they are saying things these are especially horrific times. the process is something that perhaps we should overlook.

that may be all well and good. for the last 48 hours, nancy pelosi and steve mnuchin have been the only ones working on this bill. i can't in good faith vote for something just because nancy says it's okay and the president has agreed with her. i respect both people. i am a big supporter of president trump. but i made a promise to my constituents that i would make a decision baled on the facts and i was voting yes or no based on what nancy pelosi was telling me. and that's not acceptable to me. nicole: thank you, congressman, we really do appreciate you explaining to people why someone might potentially vote no for an important bill. >> not something i feel good about. a lot of times there are bad bills and easy to explain this is a bad bill because of qx, y, z. >> there are measures in this bill republicans are uncomfortable with. difficult for me to sleep well after voting one way on another on a bill i haven't read. nicole: absolutely. i do understand that.

i want to get to one more thing. one thing on social media near and dear to me you are saying over 100,000 college students being sent home this semester because of fears of the coronavirus. my son actually is flying home from school today. what are you calling on the universities to do? >> i'm calling on the universities to do a prorata refund of this room and board. not a total refund but for the remaining portion of the semester and there is a good chunk of time left between now and the end of semester. students that have paid up on room and board they should be getting that money back. there are a lot of students, not like your son, who don't have parents who can probably pay for a plane ticket home or for travel home and they need that money now. it's much more important that these students get that money back then it is for universities to say well, we can't afford to or it's already baked into the budgets. nicole: i agree. pete: are what are you hearing from schools? is it going to snap. >going to get there.they don't . in a crisis and try to work out a deal. it's the right thing to do. it should be done.

hospitals. it's not that so much people are actually at risk of contracting the virus, but you want to basically stop the few people who are at risk from overcrowding the hospital itself. plus you have to think about perceptions in society nowadays and also just practical matters a lot of places are closing. jedediah: a lot o nicole: a lot of people have simple questions. real questions should you cancel your date if you have engagements planned. >> if you are over 60 and have you other medical problems, then you may want to avoid dates. otherwise, if it's one-on-one, you know, you can spend time with elm pooh. we don't have to put ourselves in isolation or quarantine. you might want to check on the venue. you don't necessarily want to go to a crowded place. you have to be careful like are you going to be jampacked with the waiters and everybody else. nicole: what about a dinner party where you are affecting more people? >> parties i probably would cancel. the reason for that some of it is perception. you never know with a party of people who are sick will also show up.

that's part of the problem that a lot of people, you know, they might minimize their symptoms and come and generally with a party have a lot of people sharing, let's say family style foods, finger foods and in close contact. jedediah: talking about the gym. should you cancel? should you not go to the gym? what if you have a personal training session how do you handle? >> depends on what you are doing. if you are doing something that is like boxing, wrestling, any contact sport? probably you want to avoid the gym because there is a lot of contact in close spaces. but if you are doing something solitary like riding a bike and separated, the treadmill, yoga probably is fine. i am hearing about a lot of gyms and other closures, places closing so that might be out of your hands. pete: real quick question should i cancel my 6-year-old's birthday party at the mall due to the coronavirus. >> i love celebrating parties and birthdays i would say probably better to cancel only with kids there is more chance not of coronavirus but just of

any kind of virus spread and people coming. nicole: it's important to remember everything is variable and you have to make the best decision for you and your families. it's not a one size fits all. pete: more "fox & friends" on the other side. ♪ ♪ ♪

weighing in on the markets and bringing the latest on the impact of this virus and what we can all do to keep our safe safe and healthy. pete: garrett tenney has more on that relief package. where is it headed next, garrett. >> headed to the senate after it passed the house by a wide majority last night. the goal of this legislation named the family first coronavirus response act to provide relief to the growing number of americans impacted by the outbreak both medically and economically. the 110 page bill is a result of a lot of negotiations between the house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steve mnuchin. they spoke more than a dozen times yesterday. they needed to come up with something that could actually become law. and to do that, they would need president trump's support. well, he gave that last knight in a tweet. saying in part this bill will follow my direction for free coronavirus test and paid sick leave for our impacted american workers. i have directed the secretary of treasury and secretary of labor to issue regulations that will

provide flexibility so that in no way will small businesses be hurt. i encourage all republicans and democrats to come together and vote yes. with that endorsement the bill passed early this morning. and here is what speaker pelosi had to say after that vote. we did what we said we were going to do put family first paid sick leave, paid sick days. family and medical leave. unemployment insurance for the children. over 20 million children get their meals at school. they have food insecurity and this bill addresses that. >> this bill now heads to the senate where it is expected to receive a vote some time next week. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell released a statement saying in part of course senators will need to carefully review passed by the house. i believe the vast majority of senators both parties need to work swiftly to secure relief

for american workers, families, and small businesses. speaker pelosi said next week the house will start working on additional measures to help. so hardest hit industries and the economy as a whole. back to y'all. pete: garrett, thank you very much. when the president was at the podium yesterday he had not signaled whether or not he would support a bill. appears changes were made vote late last night. what do you make, jed? jedediah: specifics family first coronavirus. coronavirus testing two weeks paid sick leave. strengths food security initiatives. increases medicaid funding to the states. i think it was important that he do that. i think it was important to see the federal government, the states working together, the local governments working with them. and, also, if you put that side by side with him talking about how the private sector was going to complimencomplement that witf walgreen's, target. look we will be involved it drive-thru testing. enable whatever we can to happen. had you people talking about

medical supplies saying we are going to increase the stock of these important medical supplies as soon as possible. i think when you look at it in isolation, it's great. but when you look at it in combination with the numerous other multifaceted efforts that the president has put forward it's very important and very necessary step for the american public at this time of crisis. pete: president coming out and tweeting his support which gave the green light to a lot because the price tag is unknown. ultimately 40 republicans voted nay. didn't get a chance to read the bill. if you have agreement between nancy pelosi and the white house and it was steve mnuchin, the treasury secretary who was in the middle of those discussions, he was on lou dobbs show last night explaining it. listen. you. >> we have an agreement that talks aboutalks about about in h the other night. he is very focused making sure we can deal with the coronavirus. people that have to be home

quarantined that americans don't lose their compensation because they have to be home quarantined. these are just for companies that are 500 and smaller obviously we expect the bigger corporation to make up these costs. pete: doctor, it appears that it's limited, democrats want a lot of this to be paid sick leave forever. moving forward, this is to be applied to the coronavirus. nicole: we were talking about this a little bit in the break. there were some changes. we weren't necessarily sure that the democrats and republicans were going to come together because the first bill that they put forth a lot of this was permanent. national paid sick leave which something the production have rn against. permanent in the original bill. they actually did make this temporary we all have to remember that this crisis that we are in right now is temporary. and we will get through this. what i found great yesterday and which is why and in by opinion the dow soared by 2,000 points. not only did we democrats and republicans coming together. we saw the president calling on

the government and private sector. all of a sudden it felt like we had a unified response and that really gives you some confidence that hey we are going to overcome. this they are taking care of us. jedediah as you mentioned multifaceted approach not only impact it from getting rid of the virus. but we have to also look at the economic standpoint and now it feels like there is a team effort and we are actually going to be seeing some headway. jedediah: take a look beings you mentioned the dow. friday market closefry i think y right about the confidence that it inspired in terms of particularly the fusion of the government efforts and the private sector efforts. we actually spoke to peter morici last hour and he talked about what the effects would be on the markets. take a listen. >> so far the market reacted out of fear. not knowing how long the virus would be with us. slow down in economic activity. and profits would be.

and finally, how the economy would be fundamentally altered once we came out. it seems as though investors have finally discounted that all out. and hopefully friday is the bottom and we will start to go up from here. of course, you can never be sure. but it did show some signs of this being, you know, a lift. pete: what a week on wall street watching the dow go up 2,000, down 2,000 and a rocky week. but to see it end the way that it did, hopefully through the weekend with the response that congress is now giving, there is some serious hope out there that this is the beginning of somewhat of a recovery. you don't want to declare it a recovery. we are going into something. if you looked at the dow yesterday the minute the president took the podium, it went up 1500 points. i mean, if you look at the chart. it's like this when he started talking with the experts behind him. nicole: when the ceos came up when i saw it. pete: wall street waiting for full on response.

it wasn't that the white house and everyone was taking it serious. they did. when they stanle step up and saa national emergency. dr. fauci on on board. we are talking to the experts. everything is going to be okay. don't panic but be very prudent and intentional. bans we put out early in china were the right move. do even more of that in europe and focus here at home it. seems the market reacted to that. and hopefully we see more good signs next week. jedediah: peter morici reminding us not to panic when it comes to your money. looks at ups and downs. sell something or what should i do? he was we minding us, don't worry, sit tight. don't get nervous, we will get through. this he said this is the time to buy not to sell. nicole: this is a temporary situation. this is different than other crashes we have had in the past. it's a temporary situation. everyone should just calm down. pete: the fundamentals are still extremely strong. nicole: started out with a very strong economy. and i believe we are going to

get back to that. jedediah: we want you to send your questions on the coronavirus friends@foxnews.com. we will try to get dr. siegel to answer as many questions as possible. shoot them over to us. pete: 6-year-old with a birthday party at the mall. these are practical questions people are asking very jed we have doctors here who will answer them for you. turn to headlines now beginning with a fox news alert. overnight a barrage of rockets hit iraqi military base housing american troops for the second time this week. military officials say more than a dozen rockets landed inside the base. no word on deaths. iranian-backed forces used this truck to fire rockets at the same base earlier this week. the truck was found near the base outside of baghdad. two american service members were killed in the attack. the seattle area nursing home linked to at least 25 deaths from the coronavirus has an infected staff. health officials reporting 47 workers at the life care center of kirkland tested positive for covid-19.

another 18 are set for testing today. the home makes up roughly 1/3 of washington state's confirmed cases. and the national guard deploying a thousand members across the u.s. to help stop the coronavirus spread. they are working with governors in six states to support local efforts escorting medical workers delivering meals and cleaning buildings. national guard members deployed to new rochelle, new york with the state's most infected area with 158 cases. shoppers are swarming stores across the country to get splice. long lines at supermarkets and box stores. when they get inside many store shelves are empty. basic supplies like bottled food and toilet paper. some stores are putting on limits how many items people can buy. those are your headlines. pete: yeah. jedediah: i heard that with respect to water at costco and other places. you can't walk out of here with 30 cases of water then it prevents other people from getting water they may need.

nicole: early on president trump said price gouging. we saw it happening already on amazon. to get a thing of clorox wipes got $30 when they're usually 3 to $5. jedediah: little purell bottles exorbitant as well. pete: i mentioned i had a neighbor who is a fireman outside trying to keep calm outside of one of these stores, so just a reminder. be good to your fellow neighbor here in this moment. we are all going through it together. instead of going to a doctor's office. can you talk to a doctor online. what are the advantages of tele health. we discuss that coming up next. you can almost sense it...

the federal government i'm officially declaring a national emergency. the action i am taking will open up access to $50 billion. this includes the follow critical authorities. the ability to waive laws to enable tele health. what they have done with tele health is incredible. >> president trump joining health officials who recommend using tele health services where can you speak with a doctor remotely instead of potentially exposing yourself to the disease by going to the doctor's office. pete: joining us now with more on the advantages of this service chief medical office for me m.d. dr. nicholas lorenzo. doctor, thank you very much for being here. explain tele health how it should be used especially at a moment like this? >> well, tele health as many of your audience knows is a service where you can obtain consultation and treatment via mobile devices or your computer without having to actually go to a bricks and mortar healthcare facility. and the department of hhs and the cdc and the president, as

you just heard, have emphasized the importance of telemedicine, tele health virtual care in addressing the covid-19 crisis. jedediah: doctor, here are some of the services that tele health provides. personalized house calls. personalized care. prescription, 24 hours a day seven days a week support. one of the concerns with tele health you are not getting an actual exam from a doctor. is there a way to be sure if you are practicing via tele health that you are giving someone the right medication if they are describing symptoms or ailments to you. >> very important in telemedicine to treat the conditions you are comfortable with that you feel you consider provide the same staeurbg that e that you could if the patient were sitting in front of you. we are doing that at me m.d. i think all around the country are doing same. significant amount of change in the regulations both state and federal over the last several years, pertaining to

telemedicine with the idea, again, that can you provide this care virtually at the same standard of care as you could if the patient were sitting in front of you. pete: here at fox we use tele doc. i have used it before. very convenient. call in rather than going into the doctor's office. apply it to this situation. is this basically the first steps to let's say i'm starting to feel some symptoms. i don't want to go into the hospital. you have a tele appointment. that's the filter by then you decide to go get testing because you can't do remote testing. >> that's exactly right. and that's one of the main reasons that as i mentioned the department of hhs, the cdc and the president have said that telemedicine is so important as a first step, as a filter. let me also say that although when you heard about the worst case scenario cases, of patients getting covid-19, then pneumonia and then dying, these are only a small percentage of the cases. the vast majority of the cases from the data we have thus far

show that 80, 85, 90, 95% of patients more than likely can be treated virtually and at home. this is huge advantage to being able to track these patients, treat these patients safely and efficiently. pete: you are saying even if you diagnose someone or identify that someone has the strong symptoms of covid-19, you might advice them to stay at home and not even get tested? >> no. if they have risk factors for covid-19 they should go and get tested. one of the main reasons that we have had a little bit of a slow down as far as the test something concerned is the availability of testing. that situation is being alleviated as we speak and, in fact, at me m.d. we are negotiating with a home testing service where we will be able to in the next few days, hopefully, provide this service to patients with a home test kit that's mailed to them, they do the nasal swab and then ship it back to the laboratory themselves and get results within 24 hours. pete: interesting. jedediah: that would be fantastic. doctor, thanks for being here.

we appreciate everything that people in tele health do. obviously very important at this time. particularly if people are afraid to go into those potentially crowded doctor's offices thank you so much. pete: doctor, great information, thank you. >> you are welcome. thanks for having me. pete: john hopkins has been tracking in realtime. one doctor says the number of cases is likely higher. he joins us live with that information in connectio next that life of the party look walk it off look one more mile look

of cases is likely much higher. nicole: here to explain is john hopkins professor and fox news contributor dr. marty mccarrie carrie. we are excited to have you as one of our newest centers. new contributors. i sent you the first proof of my book because i wanted your opinion so much. i am personally so excited to have you here. especially to talk about this. because, from day one, you have been saying this is going to get worse. and you did not believe the numbers coming out of china and now iran. and you have been saying all along these numbers are going to continue to grow and you, yourself, don't actually even trust johns hopkins map. >> well, good to be with you guys and nicole, that's a great book i'm excited for it to come out. you know, on the numbers, it is clear that china was massively under reporting. we were calling doctors over there in china. and they were saying that the real numbers were 10 to 30 times higher. china has not been transparent. iran has not been transparent. but italy has been extremely

transparent. and if we look at what is happening there, that is probably the best preview of the natural course of this virus. so when we interpret these numbers like the numbers in the united states, let's remember, that for every one case that's confirmed, there might be 25 cases, who knows, out there that are just not tested and not confirmed. pete: doctors, based on what we do know and can trust about the numbers. what do the numbers tell us about our future in the united states with this? >> if we just look at italy alone, what we have seen a near doubling of those deaths every one to three days. now, if there is two numbers that i think you can track, if you really want to track this very closely, i would say number of deaths on each day in italy and it's the number of beds that are available for the number of patients that come n italy. and what we are seeing right now is we went from about 90 deaths on a day a week ago to 250

deaths just yesterday. now, adjusted for the population in the united states, and adjusted for the size of the united states, that is equivalent of about a thousand people dying each day in the united states. i don't think we are ready for that, especially since these numbers from italy are 3 or 4 weeks ahead of its peak. that's where i'm concerned. i'm concerned about healthcare workers, for nurses, first responders, our capacity. we don't want to create hysteria and thank you, dr. saphier and dr. siegel for beating this drum. we don't want to create hysteria. but we need to delineate essential workers and nonessential workers and high risk and low risk individuals. the good news is this virus does not really -- it's hard for it to hurt young healthy people. that's god's blessing on kids and young people. on the flip and the good news is it will be over by summer. we need to prepare the risk of being overprepared is not very, you know, that's not a big toll.

jedediah: you actually just said with confidence it will be over by summer. why do you feel so strongly about that. >> historically pandemics last about three months. if you look at the spanish flu of 1918 it went from september to january. it had a major toll. but at a certain point after its peak there is a community immunity. if you look at sars, mers. lasts about three months. nicole: do you think the demographics of the regions of italy being most hard hit play a role? the far majority like 60% or more are actually elderly population in those regions. >> yeah. so that's a great point, nicole. we have got to think about the senior folks. my concern is that young folks, say, you know, this doesn't seem that bad. what else the big deal? the reality is we are community transmitters and this thing has a very high toll in people over 70, 80, organ transplants.

immunosuppressed, those on chemo. in italy what we are seeing with the numbers slightly skewed towards an older population. the average age in italy 45, lombardi 46. in u.s. 38. they are slightly older and a good reminder of you who we need to protect our seniors. pete: doctor real quick exit question. are we overreacting? reacting the right way? where are we right now in our reaction? >> well, we do not want people hoarding things. we need to think about seniors, first responders, healthcare workers first. i think we don't want to create hysteria, but the risk of being overprepared and looking back and saying you know, it wasn't quite as bad as the harvard projections. that's not our greatest turner right now. the greatest concern is people are saying i got something in three weeks to go to and they really don't need to. nicole: excellent message thank you very much for being here and again welcome to the family. we are so happy and fortunate to have you a part of our team. >> great to be with you guys.

>> well, the risks to young and healthy americans remains very low. we have learned a lot about this over the last two weeks. anyone can be a carrier for the virus and risk transmission to older americans and those with

underlying health conditions. and those who are most at risk. they have not done very well. older americans who are especially if they have a health problem, they have not done well. jedediah: president trump warning about the risk of coronavirus to older americans as a lot of uncertainty remains. joining us now with their questions is our panel of moms barbara, karin and cami. here to answer them is dr. measure wet. welcome. >> thank you. jedediah: i want you each to get some questions in for the doctor. start with barbara. what is your question for the doctor. >> thank you so much. you know, i'm hearing so many things about washing your hands and, you know, keeping a distance. i would really like to hear more about how can we build strong immunity. sunshine, fresh air, nutrition. i would love to hear more about that. jedediah: that is a great question, doctor. >> that is a great question. there is so much we can do get a

well balanced diet. lots of fruits and vegetables. loaded with antioxidants to help fight infection. keep your immune system healthy and strong. get plenty of rest. that's so important. your body heals and regenerates when you are sleeping. those are very important. being outside and outdoors getting fresh air and sunshine can be beneficial as well. jedediah: karin, your question. >> i'm wondering if isolating my family and social distancing is pivotal or do we still have a couple of days or how far should i take this. jedediah: great question and one i'm seeing a lot. >> what you want to do is take common sense precautions. avoid close contact with other people because you can be a symptomatic and still spread this from person-to-person, when i say avoid close contact. try to keep at least 6 feet away from other people. now, if you are being

quarantined because of a possible exposure, then you really want to avoid unnecessary close contact because we don't want this to spread from person to person. if we adhere to these very simple guidelines we can really help control and mitigate the spread of this virus throughout the community. jedediah: cammie, you had a question about your husband that was fantastic. >> i do. my husband has a pre-existing condition that puts him at a greater risk. we have -- he is quarantine, self-quarantined. he has not been exposed farce we know but. should i also be quarantined my friends offered to bring up food and medication or is it okay for me to gout and get those things for us? >> that is a great question especially because you want to o protect your husband and not spread to him. it is possible for you to pick up this virus from other people. i would take extra precautions especially because he has been

ill. you want to avoid large gatherings and going out to areas where there is large crowds because you could potentially pick up the virus and bring it home. so definitely take extra precautions but i don't think you need to be self-quarantined yourself. take precaution so you are not bringing it home to your husband. keep your hands washed and clean. coughing and sneezing into your elbow. stay away from your husband if you start to feel unwell. those measures can help protected your husband so he doesn't catch anything. jedediah: barbara, you had a question about vaccines which is something i was wondering if you wouldn't mind asking her that. >> a lot of people are curious about it. we had just heard about community immunity last about three months and people will naturally build immunity. i know they are in production for a vaccine. would you recommend when that comes out how do we trust it what's the safety, efficacy? i really want to understand the value in ache seens that are going to be coming out in another year. >> you bet. vaccines can truly save lives.

i know there is a loft concerns with a new vaccine being on the market. before this vaccine is injected into people it has to go through trials to make sure, number one, is it safe? number two, does it work and number three what are the potential side effects? it goes through a series of trials to make sure that it's effective and safe before it's put on the market and before it's given to humans. and vaccines, typically, have been shown to reduce symptoms and save lives and offer protection and immunity from this virus. jedediah: karin, have you had so much coming up regarding food. this will be our last question for now. moms will join us again but what is the question about takeout. >> cooking three meals a day and offering snacks to my kids. is it safe to order takeout food and what about takeout groceries when they get delivered? is there any contamination? jedediah: great question. >> the risk of transmission from packages and products very low. more at risk picking up from

person to person, water drop droplets. get into your eyes and nose and mouth. perfectly fine if you are going to order out food. i see you have a lot of groceries behind you. which is fantastic. >> i do. >> canned foods and products. you want to have a two-week reserve just in case things run out -- you know, on the shelves. if you see the shelves starting to clear out. have canned products and packages to keep your family fed with high nutrition products as well. jedediah: cami, you will get the question next round. come back and join us and ask more questions close to the hearts and minds of viewers who are watching. doctor, thank you so much. and we will see i later on in the show. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. jedediah: head to pete for headlines now. pete: great stuff. turning to additional headlines. overnight four major cruise lines stopping trips amid the coronavirus pandemic. president trump tweeting in part

lab about four or five laters. it has been coming up positive every time. they do that every 48 hours on me. so, i have now gone through many, many tests. one theory -- and i'm not the only one in this. there is about, i would say, five to 10% of us from the diamond princess who are all going through this similar thing of having, feeling fine, no longer having any symptoms, yet still popping up positive. one theory may be that we have dead coronavirus cells inside our bodies right now and they are no longer contagious but the dead cells are still lingering. they haven't shed shed yet. they are working with the cdc to run a special test flying our samples off to atlanta and they will put in a petrie dish and let it grow in a culture for four, five, six days and let them see at that point if the virus is living or not. either way, it's going to provide some answers as the virus continues to spread around

the states. while the test they are giving here seems to be very accurate when you first get the virus, it seems like there may be a little hitch in it when it's time to actually leave but at least for a percentage of us. nicole: absolutely. you brought up a good point, there is a study that came out that showing that the virus can actually live on surfaces on steel and plastic for three days or even in the air for three hours. i wanted to make the point that just because the study showed that it's physically there, it doesn't mean that it actually infect you. what carl may be experiencing as he said and i don't know the specifics, obviously, of the cases he still may be testing positive but it doesn't mean that he is able to infect other people around him. and i'm glad to hear the cdc is involved. because they do have to determine the difference between an inactive virus vs. an active virus. jedediah: karl, i want to ask you a question about symptoms. because you said you are feeling okay now and i'm very happy to hear that at its worst, when you were feeling at yours worse with this virus, what were you

feeling? >> yeah, i compare it to a cold or the flu. on a 1 to 10 scale where i have had bronchitis as an 8. i would give this a 2. i had a very, very high fever, spiked up to over 103. and that lasted about 8 hours. a dry cough started, and that remained with me for probably almost three weeks. but it was a dry cough. unlike the cold or the flu, there was no stuffiness in the nose, no runny nose, no sneezing, no sore throat, no headache, and even with that high of fever, it wasn't that combination of the chills and sweating. so this is a different, different kind of virus. my shortness of breath disappeared after maybe two or three days. and really only came when i was doing a lot of walking and talking on the phone at the same time. pete: carl goldman, thank you very much. we wish you the best. we hope there is no day 49 and

the test comes back the way you want it to, sir. thank you. >> you guys take care. pete: what is the risk of you getting the virus. dr. marc siegel is back answering your questions. coming up next. another office birthday. that same tired cupcake. aren't your tastebuds getting bored? break the "office birthday" routine with a gift from edible! freshly cut fruit will have your tastebuds juiced --guaranteed. give our fruitflowers bouquet, with fresh strawberries and pineapple daisies, for just $29.99. make office birthdays fruitful. make every day edible. now with free delivery.

pete pet welcome back. as coronavirus cases grow above 2,000 in the u.s. what do you need to know in order to stay healthy. dr. marc siegel is back to answer your questions. doctor, thanks for being here. >> pete, good to see you again. pete: get to the questions good ones in here. this is from robert. i have been sick since monday and if the first thought it was just the flu. fever, cough and tightness of chest. i think i'm getting better. how long after these symptoms

subside should i stay quarantined? great question. >> good question. we don't know what he has. he should be in touch with his doctor. his doctor should weigh in on whether they think it's coronavirus or not. classic symptoms are fever, shortness of breath and cough and productive cough. and with a high fever being very characteristic. i would want to know whether this person has coronavirus or not and maybe they could get tested now that we are starting to roll out more test. now, if they have coronavirus, if he has coronavirus, he should certainly be out of circulation for a couple of weeks, that's for sure. minimum. and then he may test negative. so i can't tell you with 100 percent, pete, use the test and when it turns negative you are fine because it can actually stay positive for a little longer when you are not spreading virus. pete: smart that he is staying quarantined but he could be undocumented case should get it checked out. >> i don't want undocumented case. the more cases we have documented the more we can

prevent other people from being at risk. pete: with regard to elective surgery in my case qatar react should i postpone it until the coronavirus passes. >> i would say no. i don't want a panic on hospitals. i don't know her hospital. but i wouldn't want people to start postponing everything because then we will have this huge influx of cases later on. as long as your hospital is up and running and doing elective cases, i think it's safe. pete: this should be a hospital-driven decision if they need the capacity they will scale it back. >> not for capacity. and if she is worried about safety, i would say that's also the hospital's responsibility. if they are going to be performing qatar react procedures which take 15 minutes, they better be sure they have a completely sterile environment. absolutely. pete: my husband is 63 and i'm 62 we plan to fly to key west next week should we go or stay home? >> that's a really hard question. we are starting to restrict domestic travel a little i'm okay with it provided you don't

have immunocompromised condition. you are not at high risk. i think when people fly they should stay well-hydrated helps them keep protected against viruses. swab down the tray table. you tell me you want your drink on that tray table. pete: that's true. >: i don't wantpeople wearing s unless they are sick themselves and help them spreading drop let's to others. pete: not a hard no. >> okay to fly domestically as long as you are careful. pete: email from valerie when usinusing drive-thru test do thy change their isolation gear between patients or do you do it yourself? how is that done? >> that's a really good question. you assembled the best questions. the answer is they are supposed to do it between patients. they are disposable. these hazmat suits or what we call personal protective equipment, which is a mask, a

visor, an n 95 mask with a breathing unit respirator mask, gloves, gowns, hair. or even a hood, those are disposable. someone has to be working with you to take the thing off. you should not be using it from one patient to the next because one what if one person has it and the next doesn't, you could end up transmitting. pete: that seems like quite a process each patient changing out. how long before we see those drive-thrus at walmart and target. >> this should be over the next few weeks. with our private sector coming up tout plate here, i believe it will be -- it's the only way we can get tested. the only way we can get testing. in labcorp and quest and other labs, they don't necessarily want to put themselves at risk. pete: absolutely. dr. mark seale keep sending your questions to us. friends@foxnews.com. the doctor will be answering them all morning long. >> thanks, pete. pete: don't go anywhere:

saphier. thanks for being here. that was the president yesterday in the rose garden announcing a stphaerpblg. the stock market reacted very favorably to that up 1500 points. and then last night, guys, we learned that house lawmakers passed the families first first response ability. congress seeming to get their act together. covering all angles of it. jedediah: act providing for free testing, providing for free sick leave. the senate could take it up as early as monday. very important hearing from the president from the from government, joining hands with local governments with state governments and also the private sector. you saw those ceos coming from from cvs, walgreen's, numerous numerous countries people have come to know and trust everyday lives. going to help with drive-thru testing. we will do everything we can to provide our facilities. everything really we can do in terms of supplies. to make sure that the american people feel that we're all on the same team. whatever we can that was a very important message come from

several, several areas of government and private sector life. pete: doctor we just showed the vote. the vote in the house last night wasn't even close it. passed 363 to 40. one member justin amash voted present. all democrats voted yea. the biggest objections republicans voted against it they didn't get a chance to seat language. there was limited debate. we don't know how much this bill is going to cost. tell us about the signal of this bill. nicole: that's actually a fair reason. if they feel like they haven't had time to read the bill then we don't necessarily want them to vote on something they haven't read. we elect these people for their expertise and they are representing their people. if they don't feel they have had sufficient time i do understand why possibly not. yesterday was amazing day for where weaver stand in the face of this pandemic. you saw the president, he called on the private sector. he invoked the stafford act to bring funding so we can actually get these testings to people and also makeshift some americans

and other things in case we need it. he did that also by declaring the national emergency act to cut through some of the red tape and break down some of the barriers to make sure that we can now have the support we need and doctors can practice across the borders and increase tele health all the things that are usual in a time like this. pete: this is what was included in the bill access to free coronavirus testing as the president has promised. two weeks paid sick leave. enhances unemployment insurance. strengths food security initiatives increases federal medicaid funds to the states. some of the criticism in the beginning why the president doesn't support it democrats wanted to make a lot of these things permanent as opposed to an emergency measure. a lot of this is reigned in and targeted on being temporary in this moment. jedediah: that's right. also important to see democrats and republicans coming together. you often see a lot of division in washington. when you are dealing with something like the coronavirus, everyone has the best interest of themselves, their families, the american people at heart. and i think it was good at this moment in this very polarized space we are in to see that

happening. the president weighed in on that. good team work between the republicans and democrats as the house passes the can a coronavirus relief bill. people really pulled together. niles to see. pete: nothing more than washington, d.c. can agree on right now. when you can see nancy pelosi and the president holding back to make sure get concessions isn't a grab bag tree of things they wanted. mitch mcconnell go back for a work period and come back and address it this week. we could have a bill by the end of the week ready for the president to sign have people wondering what the federal response is going to be. that makes for good signs. speaking of federal response bring in seema verma the medicare and medicaid services a member of the white house coronavirus task force. thank you very much for joining us this morning. seem marks first of all, your reaction to yesterday, the declaration of a national emergency. the house passing this measure. give us a sense of where you

think we are? >> i think it was a historic day and it was a visible demonstration of people coming together. americans joining hands, working together to address the coronavirus. and so many significant actions taken by the president. i think, first of all, showing that we do have a public-private partnership to address testing. some of the emergency declarations give a lot more flexibility to healthcare workers on the front lines and it help support them and give them the flexibility that they need to address the virus. and then i think the exciting news coming out of the house was really important because it let's americans know that are being impacted by the coronavirus they are going to have some economic impact, whether they have to stay at home or they can't work, small businesses that need help, and also just states. i mean, they need to put their resources behind mitigating the spread of the virus, helping people that are sick. and this will give them some resources as well.

jedediah: can you talk about this funding and what the impact of that is and what the hope is for that policy initiative? >> sure. so, with medicaid funding it will allow states to if they have more folks coming, in people that are eligible for medicaid it helps them pay for those services. but the other thing that it does is it free's up other resources that they may need to address other parts of the system. nicole: seema, one thing that is really crucial that you have tackled the restrictions you placed on nursing homes. people didn't necessarily think this was a positive, they said we want to make sure that we are still able to visit our elderly with over 1.5 million americans in nursing homes, and these are our most vulnerable populations, you guys wasted no time by making the decision to restrict their visitors and keep them safe. i mean, i applaud that. but i'm curious, how did you decide to do that? >> you know, that was a difficult decision. i mean, it's heart-breaking.

people that are living in the nursing homes really appreciate it when people come to visit them. and i think when you have a loved one in a nursing home, certainly going to visit them is so important. so it was a difficult decision. but we made that decision because we know that individuals that are living in nursing homes are very vulnerable. and we have seen a large uptick in the number of cases in nursing homes. and we need to do everything that we can to protect those individuals. and so this was all about ensuring their safety and their security. we hope to be able to lift that as soon as possible when we see some mitigation in the spread of the virus. pete: seem marks jed mentioned the public private partnership drive-thru testing the president talked about that yesterday in the rose garden. here is a portion of what he said. >> we have been in discussions with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-thru tests available identified by public health professionals. the goal is for individuals to be able to drive up and be

swabbed without having to leave your car. pete: goals for individuals to do. this set expectations so people aren't believing maybe today they can do that. when will something like this go into effect. >> you will hear more about this in the next few days. i want to emphasize how important this initiative was. it really took the president's leadership to bring together the private industry. so, you have competitors, walgreens, cvs, walmart all coming together saying we will agree to use part of our parking lots for drive-thru testings. and then you heard all of the testing companies run the test, roche, labcorp, all of those other companies saying we are going to tkaoefg we can to make sure we can process these tests as fast as possible. there was also google that is putting up a website so people can go to this website.

they can put in their symptoms answer a few questions and indicate whether the test is appropriate. really amazing effort. a well-coordinated across many different industries: the president orchestrated. nicole: national emergency act and support and resources they need to actually get these tests to everyone. >> that's right. it also free's up about $40 billion for state and local governments. the other piece of this is that it gives my agency, cmf which has overside of all of the oversight facilities a lot of flexibility. doctors can work across state lines. it could be that california needs help and there could be providers that come from nevada or come from florida, to be able to help. and we can still pay for those services. medicare will pay for those. it also gives flexibility for hospitals to move patients

around it gets rid of bed limits and limits on lengths of stay. >> it gives hospitals and providers on the front lines the maximum flexibility so that they can focus on patients that need help. pete: that's a great point. at a moment like this the last thing you need are brew cat particular road blocks or red tape. flexibility to make judgments on site that are best for the patients. and it sounds like a lot of that is being done. seema verma, thank you very much for your time this morning. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. pete: we want to ask you keep emailing your questions friends@foxnews.com. we have got a doctor right here. we have doctors on set all morning that are prepared to answer your questions. there is a lot of good ones out there. where we live, things we are dealing with kids, should they be moving around and going to events and doing birthday parties and traveling. all important as we do our party moment. jedediah: we will turn to headlines now 8:00 a.m. hour. beginning with a fox news alert. overnight a ba iran of rockets hit military base military troops for a second time this

week. military officials say more than a dozen rockets landed inside the base. no word on deaths. iranian-backed forces used this truck to fire rockets at the same base earlier this week. of the truck was found near the base outside baghdad. two american service members were killed in the attacks. and a third pepper now testing positive for the coronavirus after meeting with president trump at his mar-a-lago resort. the brazilian embassy says a diplomat tested positive days after he sat at a dinner table with president trump. a brazilian official seen here with president trump and vice president pence also testing positive. the third guest has not been named. president trump's doctor says he does not need to be quarantined because he had limited interaction with the infected visitor. and take a look at this. frenzied shoppers snatching giant packs of toilet paper faster than workers can put them out. customers rushing around a sam's club in georgia as shoppers fight at a different sam's club in the state. two men grabbing wine postals hitting each other in an aisle.

one of them eventually wheeled out on a stretcher. a fight breaking out at costco in new york city. >> as human beings, we have got to come together in a time like this. jedediah: argument erupting between customers as they search for supplies. and schools in some of the biggest u.s. cities shutting down amid the coronavirus. chicago, boston, los angeles, and san diego closing public schools on monday. schools in 8 other states also shutting down for at least two weeks. new york city is keeping schools open despite more than 150 coronavirus cases. governor andrew cuomo says school closings will be left up to districts those are your headlines. pete: interesting as monday gets closer i think you will start seeing more decisions from administrators. nicole: the concern with the new york schools a lot of children here actually depend on the meals. not just lunch during the day breakfast and lunch. part of that was covered in the bill that was passed overnight make sure those children get funding for food if the schools

quarantined himself when he returned. doctor, welcome so much to the show. >> nice to meet you. jedediah: you went to china. tell us what you saw and what are the key lessons that can be learned with respect to what's going on in america right now. >> look very similar to sars in 2003. so the streets are empty. people are isolating themselves. they are wearing masks, they are wearing gloves it's very difficult to get things from a store and restaurants closed. they were practicing social distancing that they learned back in 2003. i think this is how they got that outbreak under control. nicole: dock lip kin, you said they hadn't identified the strain. they thought this was not a contagious illness. telling some of their patients they didn't think it was contagious. do you think that exacerbated the problem? >> well, it's very easy in retrospect to say what we should have known early on

december 15th i was contacted by a colleague where we have a big program that was there was something happening in wuhan. they had not at that point identified an outbreak or the cause of any sort of an outbreak they really learned that the last beak of december. the there was question at that point how contagious it was. obviously in retrospect we should have appreciated it was more dangerous than it was wasn't until the 10th of january sequences released that people began developing pcr tests so they could figure out who was infected and who was not. nicole: so, when you look at this now, i have heard you talk about potential for treatments. that's kind of where people want to go. we have been talking about this for the last three months and people are looking forward to okay, where do we stand with the vaccine and potential

treatments? what are your thoughts. >> in terms of treatment we have a number of drugs that have been effective in animals where we have done experimental infections. some of these gilead. suggestion maybe that drugs that are currently used for malaria might be re-purposed as well. what they do is interfere with the ability of the virus either get into the cell or to unwrap its bad message or translate that message and to grow and produce more virus. i think we are going to be getting some insights into that fairly shortly. some of that initiated in china is anyoning in europe and has also begun in the united states other thing very excited very old story dates from the 1900s and even before that is that when people recover from infection, they make antibodies. those antibodies can neutralize the virus. prevent it from infecting other cells. our hope is by collecting plasma from people we may be able to stop, you know, the progression

of illness in individual patients. jedediah: very quickly we only have about 10 seconds. is there anything here we should be doing right now as you see. >> i think the issues right now are how we can we enforce social distancing. this is something everyone needs to take seriously. quite inconvenient but necessary. jedediah: thank you so much for being here, doctor. we appreciate your time: as cancel trips. stock market ends with a wild rebound. nicole: guest guest says it's a good sign but warns the roller coaster ride could continue. he explains up next. another office birthday.

>> i am officially declaring a national emergency. the action i am taking will open up access to up to $50 billion. jedediah: president trump's declaration sending u.s. stocks on their biggest one-day surge since 2008. this spike shows spike in gains since the announcement. pete: rebound wraps up a wild week on wall street. here to react brian brenberg. brian, thanks for being here. >> good morning. pete: if you look at that are thchartthe president takes the m and the stock market surges. >> investors heard things theupted to hear. they wanted some kind of confidence we are going to get some testing here. it's going to happen faster. people know where to go they got that in this press conference. they also got the sense and they have been getting it for the last couple days that we are going to get economic stimulus. workers who have to stay home are going to get help. the point is we have to find a bridge between where we are and at the end of this virus so the economy doesn't go into a tail spin. you saw that yesterday. the president providing

leadership on that. congress stepping up to the plate and offering something. the markets look at that and they say okay, we see a path forward. that's what we need. that's why you saw stocks rise. jedediah: this is the best way for the government to fight it. so what's the best way, tell us? >> we need help now. it needs to be targeted and it has to be temporary. there are people who are wondering how am i going to pay my bills? am i going to have to stay home because i'm sick? am i going to be furloughed because my business isn't selling products? people aren't coming? they need help right now. we need to make sure that we're providing that for them in terms of unemployment insurance, in terms of sick leave. the kinds of things we saw in the stimulus that passed last night, early this morning. that's what people need. we can't afford the big blow-out spending growth in the entitlement state growth in welfare spending. we have seen some threats of that. we have got to avoid that. pete: let me ask you this does the family first coronavirus act passed last night. does it the pass the brian brenberg test?

is it temporary or could nancy pelosi wanted a lot of stuff to be permanent. where does it actually land? >> it doesn't start that way. i think it ended that way. part of that is because republicans and the president pushed back and they said this is not about getting pet projects this place. this is not about expanding the size of the state permanently. this is about helping people when they need it most right now. and, look, i think the american public resonates with that they are not looking for blow-out spending. they are looking for targeted help. we got that here. the question is can we keep that going and make sure we are not putting burdens on businesses we want a real recovery coming out of this. we can do that if we are not growing the size of the state. jedediah: brian, should people be following the market very closely right now in terms of their own stocks and investments or will that drive them crazy? put it aside and say let's wait. >> a lot of uncertainty so no i don't think we should be day-to-day minute-by-minute checking the market and worrying about it. we have a strong economy.

that has not changed. the issue is we have something like a disaster, a natural catastrophe happening right now. we can get through. this you are seeing public and private partnerships right now that can help us do that investors should relax, think about the long-term, not check moment by moment. and understand we have strength under lying all of this. that can bounce back if we manage things right. friday gave us a good indication of what right might look like. pete: what are you looking briefly next week what are you looking for as a key indicator next week? >> i'm looking for execution on the plans we saw friday. investors love the fact we are going to roll out testing and get faster results and see stimulus. the senate has got to pass that bill. congress has got to have action on that. the president has got to sign and it see on the healthcare front we are getting things done that we heard about yesterday with the public-private partnerships. that happens. stocks will like it. americans will like it. business also like it and we will get through and weather the economic storm here. pete: we like you and your op-ed. folks can check it out at

145,000. there are more than 2,000 cases confirmed in the u.s. we are going to bring in dr. marc siegel right now a fox news medical contributor and we have some questions we have been asking our viewers to send in questions to you. you are going to answer some right now. we have emails. first one right now is email from ann. she says i live in a condo building how safe is it to go into an elevator since someone could have coughed or sneezed prior how long do germs live this is important because of elevator buttons. >> we saw someone get iten from elevator button sars prior coronavirus years ago. that's a very smart question. i would say it's safe to go in the elevator right now the prevalence of this virus isn't enough so that i'm worried it's in he will every elevator. i wouldn't be opposed to wiping down surfaces before you touch down buttons in the elevator because viruses can live on surfaces several hours in a way that they can still infect you. you can get it through touch. i would be conscious of it but very low risk. not hanging in the air waiting to get. to say it's that contagious.

jedediah: have email from lawrence. i got sent home from my job because someone tested positive for the virus. what should i do? must i self-isolate for the next two weeks if i feel okay and i' m healthy? >> yes. actually, that's a question where the answer is yes where the person is not overreacting the person who worked with them got it they may have shared common services. they may have been coughed on. another one on the other side of the building or completely remote that they had no ache sets to whatsoever. they really don't have to self-isolate. i would self-isolate if someone that they actually work with. and they can check with their physician on this as well. jedediah: even if they're a symptomatic. >> the purpose of the two week quarantine is to wait and see. chances are very like they are not going to get it though. jedediah: if the symptoms are high fever cough. are there any effective over the counter treatments. >> that's a good question. answer is first thing is tell your doctor. your doctor might want you to

have you tested you could have shortness of breath fever and cough and not have coronavirus. we are trying to track the number of cases i want to know if this person has it. the most important thing, according to the specialist in nebraska med that i spoke to that were treating the 14 coronavirus patients from the diamond princess is to get that fever down. so they have got to use tylenol or advil. get motrin, to get the fever down. keep well-hydrated. sometimes if you are really sick intravenous hydration is necessary. and watch out for the respiratory symptoms. the coughing and shortness of breath. if the shortness of breath gets worse you can't stay at home. if you start to have more progressive pulmonary symptoms that's when we need to treat you possibly in the hospital. jedediah: email from jane. those that have had coronavirus are there antibodies that prevent from you getting the virus again? that's a great question. if you get it, are you immune. >> most of the time i would say the chances are yes right now. we don't have a bunch of strains out there. it looks like we still have predominantly the thing we started with a slight variation.

there is two but they are very, very close. the chances are if you get it you are going to be immune. people have asked the question what about those cases where somebody got better and then they got worse again? what's that? did they get reinfected? i think most of the time it was that they hadn't completely recovered yet. they thought they got better. we see that with the flu, too. it cycles. you think you get better and a bit of a resurgence and take as few more days to recover. jedediah: i have have an infant at home a 4 month old. i have been very nervous. i know there haven't been any cases affecting very, very young babies. i'm confused as to why. if there immune system isn't developed yet why aren't they at risk for this. >> two theories. children have much stronger immune systems than we do or that i do. as we get older our immunity gets knocked down. they have great lungs. kids have lungs that are like vacuum cleaners, loaded with silea and hairs. those hairs get viruses out to breathe. they push it right out. so it doesn't get deep into your

lungs, so the chances of getting a severe case if you are young and those cases occur because it get deep into the lungs. good immune system and lungs. jedediah: children's tylenol on the scene things you would recommend for adult just in case would also work for children. >> completely. they may get sick but it's going to be much, much milder. jedediah: we appreciate you being here and answering questions especially my question. thank you very much. keep sending your questions in friends@foxnews.com. we will have dr. siegel back. have dr. nicole saphier on the couch and many others that are here and ready to answer the questions that are near and dear to your heart. thank you dr. seale again. pete: jed, well done. turning now to additional headlines, delta artilleries suspending all flights to europe amid the coronavirus pandemic. the airline forcing the airline to ground up it 300 planes. on hold next 30 days possibly even longer. four major cruise lines also

week. sunday rain across the south and into the midwest and running up to the mid-atlantic. you do see more of the snow running back and getting into the specific northwest. that's where you are seeing higher elevations. they have seen rounds and rounds and rounds of winter weather. that is continuing. current temperatures this morning, there is the frontal boundary where we have seen rain a little bit warmer to the south of that in the 50's and 60's. back behind pretty widespread early this morning. anywhere from the low 40's the 30's and some cases falling down into the upper 20's. we do warm up a little bit this afternoon. your forecasted highs basically getting up into the 40's. we see a little bit more mild on sunday into monday. so, guys, as of right now, a little bit more like winter weather. spring weather here in the next couple of days. pete: adam klotz, thank you very much. appreciate it. jedediah: covid-19 hitting the sports world. the nba and other leagues suspending seasons to stop the spread. pat williams reacts coming up next. ♪

♪ >> i think adam silva our commissioner took aggressive steps because we couldn't put our players and employees and fans in a position to get sick. i talked to the players right after the game. ours was the last game in the nba. and what i told them was you have to self-quarantine. it's not just about you. you have grandparents and parents. you have people that you know that might have compromised immune systems. we have a responsibility to take care of ourselves. pete: that was dallas maverick's owner on "fox & friends" yesterday applauding the nba's decision to suspend the season. two utah jazz players tested positive and the ncaa cancelled march madness. several sports leagues suspended major league soccer on hold for 30 days. mlb on hold for 30 weeks. pga canceling all events and nascar suspending races. here to react co-founder and

senior vice president of the oldeorlando magic pat williams. thank you for being here this morning. do you agree that the nba has done the right thing here? is it suspended or do you believe the season will be over? >> i think we'll end up seeing basketball. but it's going to go on in to the summer which is kind of a radical thought when you come down to it that pro-basketball could be played in to july and august which would be quite remarkable. but i think we're going to get our sports returned at some point. and we just have to ride through this. not panic, listen to the medical people and above all, stay positive, stay optimistic. and remember that the lord is still in charge here and we don't-i think the biggest thing we are struggling with right now is fear. and i hear the words fdr the only thing we have to fear is

fear itself. so, just stay positive and stay upbeat and remember the lord is in charge. pete: well said, sir. that is, talk about optimism. you are saying hey, we will probably play the playoffs and this could apply to any sport. it's not cancelled. we are delaying it, maybe a shortened season. maybe the regular season is over or shortened play off. what you looking at there. >> i think that's exactly right. baseball as you noticed said we are going to take a two-week pause here. adam silver, the nba has said 30 days. in the case of the colleges, that's the saddest story, no march madness, spring sports have been stopped, completely. there will be no college world series in june. so, there are some really tough ones here. pete: what should be done there, pat? should generality be extended for seniors, players, missing seasons, what should be done? >> i like that. in fact, the ncaa has come out already and said that those

seniors who have been deprived of their sport this spring will be added another year. they will be fifth year seniors. they can -- if they graduate, they can start work on thinks master's degree and then they can continue to continue their spring sport next year. that's an interesting development there. i think that's a good step. pete: yeah. speaking of good steps. zion williamson, a phenom rookie in your league. he has gone to the next level as it pertains to supporting his team and community at this moment. he put this up on instagram. he said today i am pledging to cover the sal larrys for all those smoothie king center workers for the next 30 days. this is a small way for me to express my support and appreciation for these wonderful people. all the people that work at the arena where he plays he personally is covering their salary, your reaction? >> that's been done as well mow

mom bass ba with the magic has said the same thing. let me give you a bit of numbers here. generally speaking it takes about 700 people to run nba game. part time staffers takes about 700 of them. in some of the bigger arenas, new york i'm sure it's probably closer to 1,000. so do the math on that. 30 tombs times 700. it's between 21,000 people around the league up to maybe 30,000 people in the league. and they all come in and allow the games to be played because of their efforts part time. they work awfully hard. so to see these players stepping up and saying i'm going to take care of you, boy, that's strong. i'm very impressed with that. pete: it is very impressive. if it's not a player will teams be doing that as well to fill in the gap in interim when games are not played?

>> i'm sure they will. but it's very, very nice to seat players standing up and saying mobamba said that part time staff has my back now i want to have their back. we are seeing positive steps in that regard. pete: pat williams from the orlando magic. thank you for your time. for that reminder we have nothing to fear but fear itself. well said, sir. >> that's right. and stay close to the lord. that's the main thing right now. pete: amen. tomorrow has declared tomorrow a national day of prayer. we certainly remember that as well. thank you, sir. >> nice to talk to you, pete. pete: you got it. fights are breaking out on another edge of this story. inside stores as tensions run high during the coronavirus pandemic. how do you stay positive as pat williams just talked about in these tough times. simple tips to avoid anxiety coming up next. introducing a single sports destination,

have to come home. anxiety, oh my gosh, on line learning and never pass my course. speaking with a logic mind. okay. we're making a shift. it's adjustment time. let me pack up my stuff. i have got to get a move on. think with logic mind action. anxiety mind we freeze. tell me when you are ready for number two. jedediah: yeah, unfortunately i'm prone to anxiety and sometimes i feel like i only have anxiety mind although i appreciate the recommendation. i will try to find my logic mind in there somewhere. number two, how to survive and thrive mentality. talk about that for us. >> everybody has a logic part. yeah, yeah, yeah. everybody has a logic part fyi what you know. the more you think with the logic part the more that will grow. number two, survive and thrive mentality versus victimhood mentality. so, if you think like you are a victim, things are happening to you, versus i am going to survive, it's all about don't under estimate your ability to

cope. for example, let's say your parents is living in assisted living facility and you can't go there anymore now, right? they are saying no. well, thinking with a victim mentality is oh my gosh, how is she or he going to feel? he they're not going to be okay. they are going to decline, survive and thrive mentality, face time, call, text, take a drive on over there and right bloat window have a big sign to say i love you. there are ways to survive and thrive. and that energizes us so that way we feel like we are survivors and we are in control versus out of control. out of control leads to anxiety. nicole: we are inned midst of a global pandemic people feeling panicked as shelves are empty. some of that is warranted. tips to get you through this and know a lot of people are feeling this way. these are tips. tell us about the connect versus disconnect that may help people with some of this fear.

>> and thank you so much for pointing that out. that's right. because, it's not that the fears are wrong, bad. you can have fears. it's how to counter balance the fear with actionable items so that you get through this in a healthy way. so thank you for clarifying that okay, connection vs. disconnection. right now you are seeing it all around us, social distancing. we are disconnecting. isolating and quarantining ourselves. dancing or a show, make your decision. are you going to disconnect? that's it i'm not getting together with anyone anymore or can you still connect? do you make connections? my recommendation is still continue with connections. make connection wisely. you don't have to quarantine yourself. nicole: smart decisions everything on an individual basis and not necessarily an umbrella. tell us about the worry wall. >> that's right. no cookie cutter approach. that's the key.

pete: real quick the worry wall, not fall into that. >> that's right. escalation of fear. the worry wall exacerbates and keeps going and getting higher and higher and higher you can't even see over it and think clearly. for example, spouses at home now working from home. your kids are coming home. so what would you do? worry wall? how am i going to handle that? no, instead, reassurance. reassure yourself and your family. your friends and your loved ones, we are going to get through this. that's the key. we are going to get through. this we are survivors. jedediah: thank you, doctor. someone whose worry walls run about here i appreciate your advice thank you so much. pete: thank you for your time. we appreciate it. well, president trump declaring a national emergency and the house passing a relief bill overnight. we are live in washington with the bipartisan fight against the pandemic. that's coming up next.

>> right to a fox news alert, president trump declaring the coronavirus pandemic a national emergency. president trump: the action i am taking will open up access to $50 billion of money for states and territories and locations in our shared fight against this disease, and most effective weapon right now is to limit the damage to our people and our country. pete: overnight the house passing a relief passage to deliver free test kits and paid sick leave for american workers. president trump praising lawmakers tweeting this morning, good teamwork between republican s and democrats as the house passes the big coronavirus relief bill and people really pulled together at night to see. >> the move freeing up billions in aid to help fight the outbreak as a u.s. travel ban in europe went into effect overnight. pete: we're going into our final hour of fox & friends and we're glad to have dr. nicole sapphire all morning long. big day yesterday we covered portions the stock market

reaction, up 1,500 points immediately if you talked about public and private partnerships and the house passing this bill sending it over to the senate. jedediah: good to see the president, administration, private sectoral coming together and amazing to have you here with us and we also have a team of doctors that the have been on the show answering your questions at home so many people so concerned about this rightfully so but it's great to see that the administration when you have faith in your government and the private sector to be on top of these thins that instills faith in the american people are aware of the severity have it under control and instill confidence that doesn't set into panic we've seen in the first couple weeks. >> absolutely in the last 24 hours, the morale seems to be up with the public and private sector working together we saw the stock market come up, republicans and democrats overnight passing the bill the travel ban going into effect today it feels like they are putting the appropriate measures to try and stop new cases from coming in and also mitigate the community spread within our country. pete: sometimes you can almost feel the mood of a nation and

how people are reacting, the markets part of it but you get a sense okay now we've got our arms around it yes we might have weeks in front of us but information is helpful, no need to panic covering all sides of that story this morning including capitol hill where garretttenne y has more on that relief package for american workers live from washington. reporter: this bill is 110 pages long and the full text was not released until an hour or so before lawmakers voted but earlier this morning the families first coronavirus response act passed by an overwhelming majority. the goal of this legislation is to provide relief to the growing number of americans impacted by the coronavirus both medically and economically. there were a lot of negotiations between house speaker nancy pelosi and treasury secretary steven mnuchin and they spoke more than a dozen times yesterday alone but republicans had a lot of concerns over the bill including how much it's going to cost and that's something that still isn't clear although it will be at least several billion dollars however

once president trump tweeted his support for the bill last night, it was all but assured to pass. here is speaker pelosi talking about this legislation right before that vote. >> we did what we said we were going to do. put families first, with paid sick leave, paid sick days, family medical leave, unemployment insurance, for the children, makeover 20 million children get their meals at schools they have food and security and this still addresses that. reporter: the bill heads to the senate where it's expected to get a vote some time next week. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell previewed that in a statement saying of course senators will need to carefully review the version just passed by the house but i believe the vast majority of senators in both parties will agree we should act swiftly to secure relief for american workers, families and small businesses. this is also by no means the last action we'll see from congress on this. house leaders have already indicated that next week they will begin working on an

additional package to address the growing economic damage the outbreaks had on both businesses and industries across the country. back to you all. pete: garrett thank you very much for that report. some horse trading at the last minute they are ultimately it appears they landed on a bill more targeted taylors to coronavirus, democrats initially trying to push a bill that would have included a lot of additional possibly permanent spending which republicans and i think the president's pressure improved the bill even though some critics say we didn't get a chance to read it we don't know how much it's going to cost, we know nancy pelosi's history of passing things so you can find out what's in it that is problematic but at a moment like this it looks like some of the things in this bill doctor could be helpful to responding. >> absolutely there's key components in this bill including access to free coronavirus testing which has been a big concern, two weeks paid sick leave for people who have to be quarantine or when school closed they are home with their children. unemployment insurance and increases federal medicaid funding to states which is

critical to make sure that hospitals and healthcare workers are actually reimbursed for caring for these patients. jedediah: we have a member of the house coronavirus task force and on last hour and she was talking about how the bill will allow federal funds for medicare take a listen to what she had to say. >> the other piece of this is that the gives my agency,cms, which has oversight of all of the healthcare facilities a lot more flexibility, so doctors can work across state lines, it could be that california needs help and there could be providers that come from nevada or come from florida, to be able to help, and we can still pay for those services medicare will pay for those and it also gives flexibility for hospitals to move patients around. it gets rid of bed limits and limits on length of stay so it gives those hospitals and providers that are on the frontlines the maximum flexibility so that they can focus on patients that need help jedediah: i think this flexibility for doctors and hospitals is absolutely key to

containing the spread of this virus to curing people. you mentioned something before about a feeling and i think that's absolutely true a feeling in this country things are under control that you have people who are in charge actually doing what they need to do. i think part of that process has been the transparency this administration has shown. initially people were very nervous saying what's being done what should be being done when you had the president come out front and center when you have elected officials left, right and center coming together and saying think us is not about politics, talking about what needs to be done, talking about the specificity with respect to the travel ban and how the private sector is going to work hand in hand, that is the way you make people feel like things are being done that should be being donald that is the right approach by this administration as of right now. pete: when you're containing it by saying okay we did the travel ban with china when we should have. we're doing it with europe contain it and then at home we'll cut through bureaucracy and red tape and both emergency and the bill allow that and we see so much -- jedediah: not just the bill that was passed, but the staffford

act which gave the funding because just cutting the red tape won't help if we don't have the funding and he did both and that is what we needed him to do. pete: there's been so much sill iness in washington and i think what people are looking for is seriousness, and as that bill was coming together yesterday, listen, the democrats tried to sneak in abortion funding, permanently. they were trying to make permanent changes to our welfare state and at some point, thankfully, the adults got in the room and said this is a serious time. this is not the time for politic s both sides would love to put priorities that they've long held into this , cut it out, send the president a bill that effects what we're dealing with right now and that appears to be we'll learn more about this bill as we get a chance to read it more thorough ly but it looks temporary and targeted and hopefully timely as the senate moves back into session, and the president gets a chance. jedediah: we've been talking a lot about the travel ban overnight the travel ban on certain european countries goes into effect and if you take a look you have a map there are 13 airports that americans are returning from restricted

countries will be able to travel through and that goes massachusetts, illinois, texas you can see the listing of airports there this is yet another way that i think the transparency of the administration has been a success letting people know this is what happens at the airport when you arrive this is the screening process undergone and i want to talk to you nicole because your son is traveling home from school in one of these airports are you concerned at all about the process or confident in the way this is being handled? >> i really do appreciate the fact they are restricting to the number of airports people are coming in from. i have questions regarding what their screening is it doesn't give specifics doesn't sound like the people coming in will be tested they will be asked certain questions and requested to go into self-quarantine on their own. possibly maybe we should consider doing testing like south korea, they had aggressive testing getting tested doesn't mean you'll prevent yourself from getting the virus or save yourself from the virus but we need to know whose infect

ed before we get people go into the community. my son, his college is closing so he's coming home today and he's flying through one of these airports that we're going to see people coming back from europe and i'm still bringing him home because it's okay i don't want people seeing this list of airports and feel like they have to stay away from them, because they are taking the appropriate measures and we do know this is a highly contagious virus i am certain they will be there, prepared and keep everyone else safe because that is the whole purpose of this is to limit spread. pete: i was in one of those airports yesterday in newark as part of the reality of implementation, and of course that doesn't apply to american citizens or others traveling abroad and want to come home, and i think a big development we've talked about this morning as well are the cooperation with private companies, target, walmart, walgreens,cvs saying we're going to open up our facilities and parking lots to work with the government and

health care provider toss do drive-thru testing, and we're not there yet, officials told us we're going to learn more about where those locations will be, and in a matter of weeks we'll have that capability but what we're learning is it's all part of maintaining the growth slow enough of the virus so that our healthcare institutions can have enough capacity to deal with the amount of people to be cared for. we're not over this but if we spread it out far enough our institutions can handle it. >> we are ink tariffing the effective measures to do that and i do want to point out that the trump adminitration is getting criticism for travel bans even though we have doctors saying that was the right thing to do but if you look across the globe right now a lot of countries are instituting travel bans more severe of what the united states is doing, you you have saudi arabia and new zealand so president trump is doing the right thing and limiting it to europe because that is the epicenter of the outbreak and it's the smart thing to do. we have to focus on maintaining our community spread here to

delay that out. pete: it turns out having borders to enforce them can be a very important thing. jedediah: i've heard a lot of people to be really grateful that drive-thru testing will happen because they are afraid saying i don't want to go into an office and be tested because what if i don't have it and i don't want to be exposed to somebody else and infect somebody else but the idea of being in your car it makes people feel like there is a safe space they can go and figure out what's going on with them. >> healthcare perspective 30% of the patients hospitalized where the healthcare officials contracted the virus so it's a smart thing to do. pete: don't get expectations ahead of reality is when is it happening where is it happening wait for more information. jedediah: we'll turn to headlines now beginning with a fox news alert right now three american coalition troops were hurt in that overnight attack on an i track it military base. the military says 25 rockets were fired from this. nobody has claimed responsibility for this attack yet and it's the second am bus on the military base this week.

iranian backed forces used this truck to fire rockets at the at the same base a few days ago. two american service members were killed in that attack and also happening the pentagon banning all american service members and their families from traveling side the u.s.. the defense department says the effort is to limit potential exposure to the coronavirus. some exceptions will be made. the rule starts on monday, expected to end in early may. >> grocery stores are struggling to keep up as americans stock up publix and kroger imposing limits on buying products line cleaning supplies which they are now getting delivered daily. texas grocery chain heb was more confident tweeting in part, we're in a strong position to keep replenishing shelves. whole foods saying it is expanding its grocery delivery service to more than 2,000 towns nationwide. >> and the pandemic is forcing some of the countries largest perches to cancel sunday services. churches including joel oostein 's lakewood church will hold services online and

several states banned large public gatherings and as christians prepare to celebrate easter next month. pete: some churches have had different reactions to whether they will hold services with congregations tomorrow being sunday will have conversations with some of the pastors and get a sense of where they are. jedediah: and being the national day of prayer. pete: absolutely. well you've been sending us questions about the virus all morning long. dr. mark said gal is back to answer more of them that's up next. being a disabled veteran and to have a tooth pain on top of severe ptsd, will take you down in the dump. after several denials, when i went to aspen dental, they gave me a free exam, free x-rays. the doctor comes in and then he's like, "you are in pain, so we're going to get you taken care of." i had no insurance. at aspen dental, we're all about yes. like yes to flexible hours and payment options. yes to 30% off dental services. and yes we'll take care of you, no matter what. call 1-800-aspendental today.

no no no no no, there's no space there! maybe over here? hot! hot! oven mitts! oven mitts! everything's stuck in the drawers! i'm sorry! oh, jeez. hi. kelly clarkson. try wayfair! oh, ok. it's going to help you, with all of... this! yeah, here you go. thank you! oh, i like that one! [ laugh ] that's a lot of storage! perfect. you're welcome! i love it. how did you do all this? wayfair! speaking of dinner, what're we eating, guys? president trump: well the risks the young and healthy americans remains very low. we've learned a lot about this over the last two weeks. anyone can be a carrier for the virus and risks transmission to older americans and those with underlying health conditions and those who are most at risk. pete: that's president trump

addressing the risk of the coronavirus during his national emergency declaration. so as covid-19 spreads across the country what should you know to keep yourself safe, back with us fox news contributor dr. mark siegel to answer your questions. let's get right to them. here is an e-mail from unis, that says my kids will be returning to school soon. would it be beneficial to have them change clothing and shower as soon as they get home from school and can the virus transmit from clothing and shoes >> the virus can transmit from clothing and shoes, but i think it's a little overkill to do that when you come back from school unless the school has seen a case. schools are disinfecting highly now, and that's the main thing, and yes, schools are places where viruses spread easily but if your school hasn't had any sign it's over doing it to change clothes. i never did that when i came back from the hospital. pete: here is an e-mail from susan that says is it safe to use a laundromat at this time?

>> excellent question also not only do i think it's safe i think it's worth noting that's when you want to use that clorox make sure you're using clorox- type products to dis infect your clothes so i say yes to the laundromat. i'm not worried about the virus hanging around the washers and dryers but i am saying it's important to use clorox. pete: got it we got an e-mail from betty. she wrote, should we be in contact with grandchildren if we are 70 with minor conditions such as high blood pressure or with congenital heart disease? >> well those are two different things but she's on the right track. i'm not worried about that unless it's a severe condition so in other words if you have severe emphysema or cancer or on chemotherapy, or you have hard disease or severe diabetes , or lung disease, then you might want to consider -- pete: skipping the grandchildren for now. where you're around so many crowds but just being 70 with having minor high blood pressure , not a major risk.

pete: jedediah: was just talking about this , e-mail from christine my daughter is pregnant at 29 weeks what are the coronavirus effects on pregnant women? >> extremely important question they look like they are about the same as flu which is that they can actually effect pregnant women. we're worried about pregnant women getting this awe study out of china in seven pregnant women in a major medical journal show showed they can cause problems but so far it doesn't look like they effect the fetus and that's really important. looks like the baby is probably okay. pete: a follow-up to the question last question here. from dana. she asked if pneumonia is the complication of the coronavirus, shouldn't we all get a pneumonia shot? >> i got that question 100 times this week. it's a different kind of pneumonia. by the way if you're over 60 get your pneumonia shot, of course. but doesn't protect you against this kind of pneumonia. this is a pneumonia specific to this virus, that the pneumonia shot won't protect you against, but it's a time to gear up and get your flu and pneumonia shot and be protected against all of

the other medical respiratory problems you can get so that leaves only the coronavirus for us to worry about. pete: if you're behind the curve you still got time to be proactive. >> absolutely but that pneumonia shot won't protect you against this virus. pete: this is why you are here. >> thank you. pete: what is it like having covid-19? well our next guest survived the virus after thinking it was just the flu. she shared her story with us, live, coming up next. let's get down to business.

jedediah: well the common symptoms for the coronavirus the impact they have is from person to person and our next guest had a fever but no cough or shortness of breath and says she felt like she had the flu. turns out she had covid-19 and

has since recovered. pete: elizabeth schneider joins us via skype from washington state to tell us what it's like to have the virus thank you very much for joining us this morning so it sounds like in your case, you thought you had the flu, you were going about your normal life and then walk us through how you discovered that you ultimately had coronavirus. >> hi, thank you, yeah. pete: good morning. happy to be here thank you so much i'm excited to share my story with you guys. so yeah, that is that is correct i did fall sick i had a high fever, body aches, fatigue, i had a little bit of congestion but you're correct i didn't have any respiratory symptoms or a cough, any tightness in my chest any shortness of breath, so i just thought i had contracted a nasty flu and it wasn't until a few days later after i started getting sick that i found out that there was a larger story at hand. i had gone to a party three days prior with a group of friends just a house party, and it turns out that a big group of them about a dozen by my count all

got sick at the exact same time three days after the party with very similar symptoms so we started to get suspicious and at that time several of my friends went to the doctor and they were told they had the flu, tested negative and were sent home so many of them were frustrated. i myself did not go to the doctor because i was recovering on my own. at that time, we found out about a research study happening in seattle called the seattle flu study and they've been around before the coronavirus outbreak testing for flu strains in the communities but they recently started testing for the coronavirus because they had all these samples and there was a public health emergency, so a group of us who got sick from the party we all submitted nasal swab samples and this past saturday actually a week ago today, i got a call from the flu study saying my sample had tested positive and as of yesterday, seven other people who were at the party that fell sick have also tested positive. jedediah: elizabeth, you have

very personal experience with us many of us are just reading information on the news. what can you tell us about this to maybe ease people's minds or give them some insight into what this actually feels like if you were if someone were to get it? >> yeah, sure. i'd be happy to. so the first point that i wanted to mention is something that you brought up at the beginning of my segment is that i didn't have any respiratory symptoms so i didn't have any cough, i didn't have any tightness in my chest or shortness of breath and i think that there are many variations of symptoms that people can have when they have a covid-19 infection, and it may not be all of the classic symptoms that you see and you may not check all of the boxes, so please be aware and if you are not feeling well and you feel like you're getting a nasty cold or the flu, please go ahead and self-isolate yourself so that you don't infect vulnerable members in our community but the other message that i would say is please, don't panic.

i had it, i came out the other side and i have recovered. please stay calm. if you are healthy, if you are younger if you don't have any underlying health conditions, please just stay home, make sure you're stocked up on food, get food delivery via uber eats break out the iboprofen and vitamins and then get lots of rest and drink lots of water and the final piece of advice i have for everyone and i know this isn't the time necessarily for humor but i do think we need a little bit of levit y. i will testify on national television that i did not buy any toilet paper at all during the time i was sick. jedediah: it's a great message and great to see you looking so healthy and really important to get the message out and remember that 85% of people will only have mild symptoms so although we are very panicked and this is a serious situation we have people like elizabeth on their way to recovery and fully recovered and over half of the

people infected in china have already recovered at this point. pete: elizabeth thank you very much for your time we appreciate it. >> yeah, you're welcome. jedediah: families across the world have growing concerns about the impact of covid-19. our panel of moms is here with questions and a doctor joins us with answers that is coming up, next. [ singing indistinctly ] ladies, my friends and i are having a debate. -i have a back rash. -alright. whoa, mara. i laugh like this.

this threat, when america's tested america, rises to the occasion and to those families and citizens who are worried aunt concerned for themselves and their loved ones i want you to know that your federal government will unleash every authority, resource and tool at its disposal, to safeguard the lives and health of our people. so we're with you every step of the way, no nation is more prepared or more equipped to face down this crisis. jedediah: president trump reassuring americans that no country is better prepared to handle the covid-19 pandemic, but there is still a lot of uncertainty joining us now with some of their questions is our panel of moms, marissa, barbara, karen and cami, and here to help answer them and family and emergency medicine dr. jeanette. moms you were here with us earlier in the show you asked amazing questions i'm so excited to have you back you're really tapping into these important issues so i want to start with c ami hads with your question please. >> my husband has underlying health issues so we've chosen to

self-isolate, but you know it can get a little claustrophobic being inside. is it safe for us to go out and take a walk in the park or be out, you know, out in the air, where we're around other people? >> so that's a great question. yes, you can go outdoors but be careful you don't want to be in close contact in large groups large areas. we want to keep at least six feet distance and keep in mind also, if you're having any symptoms you probably want to be careful to stay away and not go outdoors but being outdoors fresh air is great for your circulation and sunshine also great, vitamin d from when the sunlight hits your sun a chemical reaction occurs to give you vitamin d which has anti- viral effects so definitely a good idea as long as you're feeling okay not going to areas where there's crowded people. jedediah: great information, marissa? >> we just heard from somebody who is in recovery right now, what do you expect to see after people have recovered?

are they more susceptibile to the illness or is it like chicken pox where if you get it once you won't get it again or do we not have enough information to make that call? >> good question so it's too early to know exactly. we do expect to have at least some short-term immunity so what happens is if you catch the virus your body creates antibodies but we don't know how long those antibodies with ill stay in your system to protect you. we hope that it's long term such as the chicken pox, measles, it's usually a one-time disease and then that's your immune for life, so we're hoping that you can get long term immunity. most likely definitely short-term but it's too early to know for sure. jedediah: barbara? >> yeah, thanks again for having me. i know a lot of what we're doing is to protect the most vulnerable members, and we're doing hand sanitizing and all of that, keeping social distances but my parents are in their 70s i want to tell them what they can do to empower themselves

with what they should be eating and drinking and doing is it going outside? to empower and strengthen their immunity. >> yes absolutely and i'm talking to my mommas well saying mom you got to do this. what i always like to tell my patients is plenty of rest, stay hydrated be sure to disinfect surfaces in common areas also fruits and vegetables recommend hot tea, and zinc, loaded with properties that can help fight infection, boost your immune system, zinc has anti-viral properties and tea is loaded with it to help boost your immune system to fight inflammation and plenty of fruits and vegetables, we all know this. jedediah: goes without saying. karen? >> yes, i was wondering about these non-essential regular well visits to like the dentist or even to the dermatologist. should we reschedule these for our kids or is it safe to go? >> very good question. we're not seeing a lot of virus covid-19 in children especially under the age of 10.

if your child is not having any symptoms and is not immune immune o compromised keep your appointments and oral health is very important. now if there's an area of outbreak where you live then you might want to consider postponing. jedediah:kammi, we'll give you the last question. >> oh, thanks so my younger daughter has a job she can not telecommute to and while i understand she's in less danger of having any bad effects from covid-19 19 she wants to keep the people around her safe but she will lose her job if she doesn't show up at work, so what can she do to help protect herself and the other people she loves? >> again very good question. she is not in a high risk group, i'm assuming she has no underlying medical condition, go to work it's so important to adhere to the common safety precautions. hand washing if you're coughing and sneezing into your elbow, if she develops a cold stay home don't go to work, stay hydrated

avoid close contact with other people no hugs and kisses and try to avoid crowded areas. those are the things that can really help protect her and her colleagues at work and also she's like in an office, important, disinfect, wipe down your keyboard, mouse pads and common areas. jedediah: moms i want to thank you all for being here, marissa, barbara, karen,kammi, you asked amazing questions, so thank you so much really appreciate it and doctor, as always thank you for your advice. >> my pleasure. jedediah: thanks so much. pete over to you. pete: doctor, well done turning too your headlines president trump recommending you tryout telehealth amid the coronavirus pandemic that lets people talk to the doctor from the comfort of their own home and a chief medical officer joined us earlier and he says it is a helpful first step. >> if you can provide this care virtually at the same standard of care if you could if the patient were in front of you then it is safe and appropriate to do so.

pete: telehealth offers personalized care prescriptions and around the clock services to patients. primaries in four states will go ahead as planned this tuesday, officials in arizona, florida, illinois and ohio say they are confident voters can safely and securely cast their ballot and joint statement coming as louisiana postpones its primary from april 4 until june. it's the first state to make a move because of the virus. >> apple becoming the first major retailer to close all u.s. stores amid the coronavirus pandemic. employees will still get paid during the two week shut down and you can still shop on apple's online store. ceo tim cook says the company has raised $15 million to help research and treat the virus. >> and nba owners and players are stepping up to help workers effected by the league's shut down. stars including zion williamson will donate their salaries to workers at their

teams arena. pat williams co-founder and senior vice president of the orlando magic told us earlier he's happy to see the generosity. >> to see these players stepping up saying i'm going to take care of you boy that's strong. i'm very impressed with that. pete: the nba suspended their season on wednesday, after two players tested positive, the pause will last at least 30 days, pat williams seems to believe the season will eventually continue which is good news and those are your headlines. adam now has heather headlines for you. >> we're tracking thunderstorms sweeping across portions of the country very heavy rain targeting st. louis and the surrounding areas missouri into southern illinois all spots getting very heavy rain, you'll notice the back side of that everything in the white is snowfall for some of the upper midwest not going to measure into a whole lot of snowfall this is your precipitation over the course of the weekend and everything in the blue is rain working across a large portions of the south and you do notice back in the northwest snow

continues. they've seen rounds and rounds of winter-type weather moving across that region that is going to continue and that's where the colder air is so you're going 29 in denver, right along that line that is your frontal boundary where you see warm air out in front of it and we do warmup this afternoon so there is your saturday highs that gets more mild for folks on sunday by monday even warmer air is settling in across the country those are your temperatures for the next couple of days and that is your forecast here on this sad morning. tossing it back to you guys. jedediah: thanks add adam. we're going to break down some apps to help you stay connected without putting them in danger. chris the cyberguy takes us through them, coming up, next. i'm alphonso, and there's more to me than hiv.

there's my career,... my cause,... my choir. i'm a work in progress. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2... medicines in... 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines... while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day,... with food... or without. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its... ingredients or if you take dofetilide. if you have hepatitis b, it can change during treatment with dovato and become harder to treat. your hepatitis b may get worse or become life-threatening... if you stop taking dovato. so do not stop dovato... without talking to your doctor. serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions,...

liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include lactic acid buildup and severe liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems,... including hepatitis b or c. one of the ingredients in dovato may harm your... unborn baby. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato. your doctor should do a pregnancy test... before starting... dovato. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, trouble sleeping, and tiredness. so much goes into who i am... and hope to be. ask your doctor if starting hiv treatment with dovato is right for you.

jedediah: the coronavirus having the biggest risk for older americans and those with underlying health conditions. >> it is more important now than ever to monitor and stay in touch with older loved ones without putting them in danger.

pete: joining us now with three apps to help keep in contact is kurt the cyberguy. thanks for being here so here is the deal. >> they put our diapers on, they had our lunch ready, they sent us off to school, we got to the bus on time, and they were there for us. it's time now, at this moment when we really can't physically be with our especially older loved ones we can be there electronic think there are three apps i want to show you there's no reason you shouldn't be doing this , it's so loud in my ear i have to turn it down so anyway, first one, really has to do with you got somebody we were just talking about a loved one in your family, whose off at one of these places that we all are freaked out like gosh is it safe there? well what's going to be most assuring is for you to get that information yourself, find out they are doing what they are supposed to be doing but then let your loved ones see you, so use a app like face time or skype, and they will be able to see your face, they will be able to feel you that way, it

isn't the same thing as us being there but gosh it matters, so by doing that it's a phenomenonal app to use. jedediah: what's the name of the app? >> oh, face time on an iphone or ipad and then skype is free to download, on every device so that's a great question, pete. what if they aren't that sophisticated. guess what call the nursing home and say can i face time to you and you'll walk over to my mom, grandmother or whoever and we can have a call? they will say yes. they are absolutely going to say yes. the other thing is to keep the family in the loop about how our older ones are doing there is an amazing app called connected care, it's connected care app.com and they have made this free to download and use it on android or ios, and what this does is allows us to take advantage of putting down how our loved one is doing. we might be able to say hey, we had medication taken at this

time, the temperature is this , they are feeling this way, you might have one family member taking care of them or a caregiver, it keeps us all in touch. there be no reason not to download that and have it for free and just see if that works for you and your family. jedediah: what if you have older members of your family that are still living alone not necessarily in nursing care and so if we can't actually go physically check on them how do we know if something goes wrong? >> great question so you can, we have to train our older loved ones right now, so even that connected care app, you can show them how to put in information, like this is how i'm feeling or i'm feeling a little lonely everyone in the family privately gets that encrypted message it never goes out to the whole social media landscape of the garbage that's out there, it keeps it in the family, and it's not shareable to other people, outside of your own family, so that's what i really love about it. there's another app to really

keep your eye on called life 360 meant to similarly keep a circle around your family with communications, and then go a step further so you can set it to find out if your loved one older is leaving the house because sometimes we have stubborn older loved ones and you don't want to be that police for them, but it sure is helpful to understand if they are leaving their house frequently and you have an open conversation, you say we're all going to use this you're going to see when we leave the house, and you see when they come back home, so you know they are safe. you also have an amazing tool in inside of it, everyone in the family if they are using it it has a crash detector , so if they are in the car, and it detects a crash, it'll let mom and dad know that we got a crash detected here better investigate so those are the three ones i'm going to put them up at the website and at cyberguy.com later and also put them up at foxnews.com and fox & friends. jedediah: an incredibly important way to stay connected while we are still socially

disconnecting a little bit. >> true and that connected care one i love is let's say we're all family i could say okay for tuesday, i'm going to be doing all these things and then will you do that on wednesday? yes and we all see that and pete says i'll make the phone call and have all of the grandkids call every four hours just to check in and say hey, because people right now need this. we need to just tune in and listen to what our older loved ones are feeling. we can't cure this ourselves but be there for one another in this powerful way where you just listen, just listen. hey we're there for you. pete: thank you very much. >> thanks, curt. pete: some people call it the happiest place on earth. it's now closed. apple stores nationwide shutting down, the impact of the virus on american businesses, that's coming up, next. let's get down to business.

pete: coronavirus forcing widespread closures from coast to coast, disneyland closed today in california, as disney world shuts down in florida on monday. jedediah: this as four major cruise lines suspend their outbound trips and as apple becomes the first major retailer to close all u.s. stores. >> and the outbreaks epicenter now shifting to europe, spanish media is reporting the government is expected to announce a nationwide lockdown today. tourist hotspots in france like the eiffel tower are closed this is a big deal, guys. pete: yeah, you're seeing governments and people take prudent measures and talked about all morning long, no need to panic, but listen to the experts get information, get your questions answered, which is why we've been so glad to have you on the couch all morning long and a few additional questions. >> absolutely, yeah. pete: we want to take the opportunity while we have it one person asked, can the virus be spread from one person to

another via money? >> that's a great question. money, cash in particular, it tends to be dirty, we already know there's a lot of germs in it so although the main form of spread of this illness is respiratory, it can live on surfaces bottom line you should never be putting your hands in your mouth after handling cash in the first place, always wash your hands especially right now maybe we try and go to contact less methods of payments i know i'm not that fancy but there are venmo, i think we should try and not handle cash a lot right now but bottom line if you do handle it just wash your hands afterwards. jedediah: one thing people do handle are their credit cards. i honestly have been taking my cards out wiping them down just because i know that you're constantly sticking them in machines and you forget your credit card is everywhere on countertops everywhere. >> that is showing us this particular virus can live on plastic for up to three days. now it doesn't necessarily mean three days later it can still infect you however the bottom line is we know that these

things are dirty there are germs there, so when you do hand handle them, clean them and absolutely be washing your hands pete: absolutely. jedediah: we have an e-mail. i go to an indoor community pool , that is chlorinated is it safe to use? >> going to community pools at this point, they are probably going to be safe to use between the chlorine and filtration system the only point you're putting yourself at risk is by being around other people and also the contact surface that we just discussed. but you know you're someone who does like to go to the swimming pool just take smart measures try and avoid crowded times and make sure you're washing your hands and certainly don't put anything in your mouth. pete: we got an e-mail from david schweikert it better to your your hands with anti- bacterial soap? >> that's actually a great question and the truth is theres not a lot of evidence that shows antibacterial shop is any better than regular soap and by the way , it wouldn't actually work on a virus anyway, but the data shows that it doesn't

work on bacteria anyway. the big thing with soap, it works two-fold. one, you have to get your hands wet first. most people tend to do their palms. it's really important to get your fingernails and your fingertips that's where you touch everything and all that with the soap is actually loosening up the virus, the bacteria, the germs, and then you put your hands under water and when you have soap on your hands you tend to spend more time washing your hands and for those two reasons, just using any type of soap really will be the test thing you can possibly do. pete: cold or hot water? >> it does not matter. the temperature doesn't matter people like to think hot water probably has more effect but no it is a matter of the lather and the rinse, rinse it all off and one thing i want to talk about we've just been we were with curt and talking about how skype and some of these other tech methods keep us connected in times like this. if you haven't noticed we're doing a lot more skype interview s right now at fox news because what we want to do is protect not only the staff but our tests in this time, we're

also continuing to deliver information and the news in a very serious time. pete: it's a good point the mom panel that you did, so well, a couple times on the show normal ly would have been the four moms here in studio instead they are right in their homes, and you get that feel. jedediah: i loved that and one of the moms i remember had i think it was karen had the food behind her she had gone to the store and purchased which is such a real moment for people at home watching saying i just did that this weekend so it makes it real and relatable and questions they asked were so close to home pete: we were in this altogether we got more fox & friends just moments away don't go anywhere.
