morning. down 1700 >> sandra: so we are watching all of this for you. >> ed: in the meantime, "outnumbered" -- >> sandra: starts right now. ♪ >> harris: we are about to connect with you, all of you and no way that respects what we are all experiencing. in one way or another, the coronavirus pandemic has all of us adjusting. so we are practicing what we preach. we are sitting 6 feet here apart on the "outnumbered" couch. guests are joining us from outside of her studio. but the "outnumbered" you know well and are loyal and watching every day will bring you the same news that you are used to. >> melissa: and without, as we say each and every day, this is "outnumbered." >> harris: i'm harris faulkner. here today, melissa francis.

board certified physician and fox news contributor, dr. nicole saphier. fox news contributor jessica tarlov. and david webb, who would be sitting in the center seat. i'm keeping it warm for you pure national radio host, talk show host, and he is, as we like to say, "outnumbered." more than 164,000 confirmed cases now of covid-19. here in the united states, more than 3700 confirmed to speed. at least 49 in the district of columbia now reporting cases. the cdc is urging a nationwide halt to all gatherings of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks. new york, connecticut, new jersey announcing a short time ago that they will all implement the recommendation. three states also joining, ohio, illinois, washington state. limiting all bars and restaurants to simply take out

her delivery. only. new york governor andrew cuomo moments ago touting the unprecedented move. >> we actually all adopted the same policy. i don't remember this happening. period. you can't close bars in manhattan but leave them open iw everybody goes there. you have to have one set of rules that are uniform. >> harris: the governor also confirming all public schools across the state will be closed by wednesday for at least two weeks. and meanwhile, california's governor is calling for the home isolation for everybody over the age of 65 and those with chronic health conditions. boston going as far as to ban gatherings of more than 25 people. that's a small gathering.

>> melissa: yeah. no. it is a big change. and it is necessary at this point. you have a lot of people over the weekend who unfortunately went out and you know, got in crowds and got close to each other. and i guess you want to keep your spirits up in times like these, but they are just saying that is not the way t to do it. >> harris: we saw the pictures from spring breakers and whatnot. you know, it was interesting, jessica. you see a little bipartisan response. senator ted cruz praising alexandria ocasio-cortez, the congresswoman, for calling out those people putting other pictures and you know, kind of having so much joy and really large crowds. you know it is going to take everybody. >> jessica: it is going to take everybody. what andrew cuomo was saying, he thought new york had had the best response thus far. special call is for governors other states. charlie baker in massachusetts. and people getting on the same

page across state lines is going to be critical to this. not just because people wanting to go somewhere else to grab a beer, if that's what they have to do. but in terms of trafficking the disease across the state lines. i have been very relieved to see that the infighting seems to have stopped. the new implementation of the rule about jim's was interesting because there's actually a picture of mayor de blasio going into his ymca this morning. so hopefully that is his last workout. >> melissa: governor cuomo responded to that. he was asked of the press conference about mayor de blasio. he said that's fine. you can go to the gym. just respect the distance. >> jessica: but they close at 8:00 tonight. >> melissa: he pushed back on the idea, the attack on the mayor, saying stay apart. now we are shutting them down. we were watching the same press conference. it was kind of funny. he was talking about people wanting to go out and get a

drink. he is temporarily allowing bars and restaurants to deliver alcohol. >> jessica: i know, they are happy about that. >> melissa: they are making a temporary change in order to allow that to happen, but i think a lot of us are stuck between wanting to support the restaurant on your corner -- you love the people who run it. you love the waiters and waitresses. i went out myself this weekend. but they are putting people very far apart from each other. they were trying. now you don't have to go out and show your patronage that way. you can call them for delivery. it's going to be much safer appears to be. >> harris: or take out. it is a walk for my husband and i to get out of the house. you just visually distance yourself when you get there. although they were not a lot of people out where we were. so there's a lot of expands. you know, david webb, i'm curious to know what kinds of conversations your listeners are having. >> david: they are having more realistic conversations right

now. for a while, we saw too much of the politics on this, right? >> harris: agreed. >> david: what we are seeing now is the next step. we have containment, the strategy by the administration. listeners like the fact that actions were taken. then they are talking about mitigating. you mentioned restaurants, for example. i went out to breakfast this weekend, and i noticed something else. responsible restaurant owners are cleaning. they are disinfecting. they are managing their business because they don't want to see their business go down. and that's important too pure listeners, whether it is a truck or driving across the country. or office workers. whatever the case may be. they are finding ways to be responsible, and it is something i would say to everyone out there. but you have to look at your life, your interactions. your risk factors, if you have them. mitigate those things if you have underlying health or parent

or someone with compromised immune systems. americans need to look at good habits. good practice. we have to be our own monitor in that respect. we can make those decisions. a blanket decisions your limiting gatherings helps. but we have to make smart, concerned decisions. smart, better decisions. and you know, i will remind everyone that coronavirus.gov is up there with a lot of information for you. it is going on a daily basis, so we can use technology to share the right information. not the hyperbole that has been going on. and i'm glad to see some of the politics come down on this. because i have had too much of that. even on my radio show. >> harris: i want to bring in the doctor now. we have had so many developments now. so, what is advised -- from what david was saying.

such a good point. what are kind of a couple of top lines for you that people must think about doing right now? >> dr. saphier: the first thing i want to continue to remind people over and over again is that these numbers are going to increase. we have been saying that now for a long time. this is what happens. number testing we do, the more positive cases we are going to have. the important thing is to delay, and what will keep hearing, flatten the curve. that's what we want to do. in order to help the overall goal, please stay home. bill de blasio, it's okay that he went to the gym this morning. stop giving him a hard time about it. there is no real right or wrong answer. but now that there's going to be a rule implemented, it is important to stay in. this is for everyone's best interest. stay home. ordering your food because you do want to continue to support your local businesses. >> harris: hold on a second, david. i have a medical question. one of the things we sell reported an accounting not far from us, melissa, in jersey, was

that of the 11 patients that they have. again, this is a report coming from medical professionals. all of them are male. and their ages are 28 to 48. six are now in critical. this is what we don't have. we don't have the demographics. and i should say the details about pre-existing conditions. but oftentimes, it does. should we also tell people that while we think we know this disease to be for those who are older, are there other details we can give them? because this really is about everybody. >> dr. saphier: absolutely. i am in new jersey. i hear these cases every day, and that is why they are starting to implement the shutdowns as well. the bottom line is we don't actually know. we can draw on -- we are guessing. we are looking at some of the data. we do know that the elderly and those with chronic illnesses do tend to be more vulnerable. however, that being said, that doesn't mean that a young person

cannot only get -- average mortality rate is younger than that being seen in china. the bottom line is we have to assume that everyone can be affected the same. and that being said, you should just also assumed as you should pretend that you yourself are infected. so therefore, try not to be that close to other people. if you pretend that you actually are infected, and everyone else around you is infected, you do your best practices that way, you will have a good chance of keeping yourself, your family, and your community healthy. >> david: there was something i wanted to mention to your point, nicole, you will have more positive. you will also have more negatives. so we need to think in terms of the total scope of this and what its effects are effects are. >> dr. saphier: that is actually a really good point. we don't know how many negative cases there are. we keep showing these numbers. the truth is there are a lot more people with antivirus then we will ever know about.

we can't test them all. >> harris: meanwhile, more big democratic primaries are set for tomorrow even as a second state postponed voting over coronavirus concerns. should more states follow suit? plus, another market free fall despite dramatic action by the fed. where the market stands now. market industries could be on the brink. ♪ it comes to autism, finding the right words can be tough. finding understanding doesn't have to be. we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. go to autismspeaks.org. they get that no two people are alike and customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. what do you think? i don't see it. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> melissa: and another market free fall. we are going to check on the dow right now after stocks dropped 8% in the first few minutes after the opening bell. right now, down almost 1800 points. another 7.7%. earlier today, we triggered that

temporary halt in trading. the third in six sessions as skewed sectors of the economy like travel and restaurant come closer to shutting down. the market planning, despite emergency action by the fed sunday, slashing interest rates to near zero to stimulate the economy. the president of the start of his news conference yesterday praising the action taken by fed chair jerome powell. >> and i want to congratulate the federal reserve. for starters, they have lowered the fed rate from what it was. very importantly, the federal reserve, they are going to be purchasing $500 billion of treasuries. and $200 billion of mortgage-backed security. that is a really good news. that is really great for our country. it is something that we are very happy. i think that people in the market should be very thrilled. we are the strongest country in the world by far appeared financially and every other way.

>> melissa: david, this is a very different crisis on the financial crisis. it started out the banks and sort of panned out. it was a little bit before regular people started to feel the problems. with this, it is starting with the regular people. the people that are suffering the most either have a restaurant and can't make payroll or they are hourly workers, and they were afraid they are not going to get paid at the end of the week. they already had people leave and say i'm not going to pay you for that service that you thought you were doing this we week. some of the fed working on it is one thing, but we need to focus on those little people. there was a great article in "the wall street journal" saying that the regular guy, in essence, has to be able to go to the fed and say i need some credit for free right now to make payroll so these people working for me don't starve. and you've got to cut out the middleman, which is the bank. what do you think about that?

>> david: there are some actions that have been taken, melissa. for instance, the small business administration stepping into this by changing and altering some of the loan structures for those small businessmen and women out there around america. whether it is a restaurant, small business, llc. whatever it is. an independent contractor, for instance, who may have a business. so they are going to get some help, and that was an important step. it is different than just dumping money into the market, which devalues -- we don't want to see that action again. quantitative easing is about approach because there's long-term problems with that. but we do need to help those people now. they have a role in that. >> melissa: i grew up in northridge. that earthquake happened. the house i grew up and was ruined. fema was so quick with a check to help with the instant expenses you have in a crisis. my family had to stay at a hotel. in the situation, you are

talking about people who suddenly don't have their paychecks and don't have money. they need to buy groceries. fema could help, right? >> harris: that is part of the declaration of a national emergency. and i don't think we spent enough time talking about the measures at the federal level, that have really rolled in and the last two days. i know that the president wanted to see the fed do some things. i am curious. when the numbers open this morning, it is not like the fed did much. what the president did you last week was free up more than $50 billion through that declaration for the nation. and as i understand it, there is more to come with that. fema is a very important part of helping us sustain. through storms and whatnot, they help us rebuild and all that, but as you just that, melissa, and i think it is okay for us to look at each other. [laughs]

>> jessica: i will look up at melissa, like the brady bunch? >> harris: you know, the point that you are making is a good one. i want to stress that the things that have been put into place with that national declaration with the president, fema is a part of that. the question now is how fast can we catch up? >> david: also, the state park, arras. the fact that the federal government has been coordinating with the state as best they can sense this really started coming or emerging out of wuhan. they began to look at these issues. what i like about the approach is the whole government approach doesn't mean government only it means all aspects and the private partners out there. that's how we really approach this kind of national crisis. >> melissa: absolutely. meanwhile, travel restrictions have led to a narrow collapse for air travel. listen to what chad wallach said yesterday about whether the

administration is considering a halt to all domestic air travel. >> we continue to look out all options. all options remain on the table. we will certainly adjust to medical professionals and the cdc addresses the situation. >> melissa: warning that most airlines could soon go broke unless government and the industry work together. "by the end of may 2020, most airlines in their world will be bankrupt. industry action is needed now if catastrophe is to be avoided." jessica, i'm actually from a financial perspective less concerned about this one because there's a finite number of airlines. i think that our government can come together to realize, you know, to make a plan to support them financially. >> jessica: right. >> melissa: that one is less scary to me. i don't know about -- when you start to draw the line of what do you bail out, and what don't you? the airlines are necessary for

our nation to travel. i don't know if the cruise industry is necessary. >> jessica: i think you just don't like cruises. [laughs] >> melissa: i didn't say that. >> jessica: you may need to get somewhere -- one is necessary, and one is off on things that people do. it is not your primary mode of travel. you do not half on a princess cruise travel. my parents, who lived right on the hudson, saw cruise ships that grow by their house every day. completely empty cruise ships passing by. >> david: i disagree with you on this, jessica. >> jessica: i haven't even said anything. >> david: there's a huge amount of supply chain involves. they are an important part of the economy. >> melissa: i know. but they operate in international waters. >> jessica: they are not in the daily grind. >> david: they are in the daily grind. >> jessica: the airline

industry -- >> dr. saphier: it is not just for leisure travel. people depend on for their businesses. it obviously will take priority. i heard stuart varney say something incredibly smart this morning. people are immediately saying bailout. they don't like that word. but this is a rescue mission because we have to make sure that our airlines and those that we have become so dependent on for our daily lives are able to survive what we are going through right now. this is all temporary. when you are dealing with a pandemic like this, there will be a recovery, so we need to make sure that we do support that to make sure it happens. >> harris: can i just ask you a quick question? i hear all of this, and we don't want to use the word "bailout." we want to keep them going, but when we had cruise ships dock around the world that we couldn't pull into port, i read in about another one. is there a responsibility to think about maybe at that point

earlier on, saying vouchers -- maybe not refunds, but credits. i don't know. i mean, if you put the great deals out there and people continue to take them, that's one thing. but if you say caution, i don't know what their responsibility is early on. could that be part of a bailout? could there be a little bit of a reset about their role? >> melissa: it is interesting because there have already been losses files. it turns out that the cruiseship liability bar is very high. you have to really prove that it is reckless. you are right. i could change. >> harris: al all right, the world health organization now declaring europe as the epicenter as cases in china sl slow. bill hemmer tracking at all for us with his billboard. next. ♪ people were afraid i was contagious. i felt gross. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. four years clear. real people with psoriasis

infected. and did they get paper ballots in time? or mail-in ballots? >> jessica: now. it is absolutely going to be a bit of a cluster incident for people. especially elderly, who are the people who turn out. they are the people who work the polls as well. every time i turn up to vote, a senior citizen has been the person who has signed a man to do that. we also know that in terms of people support, demographics, which go for bernie sanders and joe biden. bernie may get his turnout surge because 18 to 29-year-olds are still out in bars, whereas people who are 65 or older are in some places being told to not leave where they live. >> melissa: is that fair? what do you think should be done? >> jessica: i don't know is the problem. and it is too late for that march 17th primaries to deal with this. and i understand why people who have primaries coming up in april or putting the brakes on that, but i also don't want to

see a circumstance where we don't have our primaries carried out, and then we head into the summer. who knows if we are going to have the dnc convention or the rnc convention at all. but it is a very serious threat to election results right now. >> harris: tim, can i just pick it up there? i am curious if you saw anything that was a game changer. two things i did not see. i did not see joe biden really making it appeals to bernie sanders supporters. i did not see bernie sanders really making an appeal to bernie sanders supporters to support joe biden. so in that sense, do you think that we are going to see more of a primary season, even given all of these challenges with covid-19? >> jessica: a little bit of foot and mouth for me. i did think that bernie sanders was going to be kinder. i think joe biden lead with it. >> harris: you said that, but i like your optimism. >> jessica: you could still make the argument that he was

saying this is where you need to be, and is not good enough. biden did try. he adopted one of bernie's policies, and he did go with that. bernie was not having it and kept saying pull up the youtube. >> harris: he said i am trying to show that i am a supporter, and i like him. i don't know what bernie is doing. >> melissa: dr. saphier, what advice would you give about people going out and voting? what is the safest way you could go do it if you feel like there is somebody at risk? >> dr. saphier: this is really difficult. this is a double-edged sword. health care professionals opinions, absolutely not. if you are over the age of 65, you really need to be staying in your house. you should certainly not go to a voting booth, where there's going to be a lot of people. but i also don't want this election to be skewed because people are afraid to vote. i am very concerned about how this will affect an election. >> harris: one of the things i had suggested, and they do this and countries. why don't you have at a cross

tuesday through thursday? election boards will have to make the decision about doing that, but at least then you don't have everybody crunched and in that it error period. >> dr. saphier: make sure that there is some distancing. but i agree. >> harris: now it is upon us. that is tomorrow. all right, we'll move onto this. the coronavirus pandemic obviously is upon us, and bill hemmer is tracking cases around the globe from his "billboard." he is up next with the latest numbers. be sure to join me next door for coronavirus pandemic: questions and answers. dr. saphier will be among those to join us on our medical expert panel as we continue to fight fear with the facts. stay close. ♪ twork has to be prepared to absorb whatever is going to come its way. we're always preparing. make sure that the network is working. all the time. we are constantly looking at it, we're constantly monitoring it, take that responsibility very seriously.

organization has now officially declared europe as the epicenter, reporting more cases than china in the height of the epidemic. they saw thousands of new cases and deaths just over the weekend. even with italy and spain already on lockdown. bill hemmer, host of "bill hemmer reports," is tracking all of it where he joins us live. >> bill: terrific work to you and everybody out there on "outnumbered." this is what we are trying to do for our viewers at home. a lot of conflicting information, perhaps. we want to show you what johns hopkins is giving us, the hospital outside of washington, d.c. the cdc, world health organization, associated press. these are the numbers today. about 175,000 cases confirmed. that is an important number too. i want you to keep that in mind. and 6700 deaths reported. what you see on the map, harris.

the map of the world. the more intense, the larger the red circle is the more cases that we have found in various countries. you see china, the last year. big circle. over here and iran as well. you just mentioned europe, italy, spain. the united states. in the center. i want to show you a graphic that i think will be of significance. not just reading about in the coming weeks ahead. it is a graphic that shows -- it is a little sensitive. bear with me. i will get it to come full screen in a moment here. what are you saying here? this is a trait that starts on the 20th of january. it goes up until yesterday, which is march 15th. the top line here. that is cases in china. you see where it starts to level out? the bottom line here appear the yellow line here, cases reported outside of china. this is not where we want to be with that major spike? the green line in the middle you see is the number of recovery. we want to see that number go

higher as we move throughout the coming weeks. i think what is important, around february 13th or 14th, those are the numbers of cases that have spiked in china. whether that is because of testing, we cannot say, but that is clearly marking on the graph your two weeks later, outside of china, on the yellow line here, around the 20th of february, march 1st. that is where the spike started to happen in countries outside of china. so we will watch this as we move throughout the week. on the left side here, the number of countries with most cases reported down to the lease. at the moment, the united states is right here at number eight. we have around 3800 confirmed cases in our country today. i will just zoom in here and show you washingon state. big concerns early on. and for good reason a at the nursing center of your washington state has 769 confirmed cases. 42 deaths. you have got one recovery so far. and yet 726 active cases in the

state of washington. you move around this map here, click on a state of your choosing. california pit six recovered, six deaths so far in california. active number, 446. i will show you new york because the governor of new york was briefing for what seemed about an hour. here locally. let me try and get this for you. i can do this year. in the state of new york -- come on. work with me. here we go. 700 cases reported so far if you keep that number about 200 patients higher. so we will see how that factors in to this math as we worked throughout the day pit six deaths in new york. zero recovery rate so far appeared active number of 740. this map is significant too because if you listen to anthony fauci and so many others, here is, the testing kits rolling out this weekend next week, this number is going to go higher.

how much higher? we do not know. but i would say to you and that he was at home, watch this here. keep an eye on the total number recovered. the death count is 6700. where the world is focused at the moment. so a bit later this afternoon, harris, we will take you to italy. take you to spain. let you know what else we are trying to gather as we put this matrix together around the world, here is. >> harris: bill hemmer, thank you very much. let's talk about this a little bit. dr. saphier, i'm going to come to you first because you and i were on the couch last week when we hit the 50th day since the first confirmed case here in the united states. now it has been another week. and we were talking about catch up then. what all has changed that you were watching developed, if you will, in just the last seven days? >> dr. saphier: it is important to point out that italy, they actually had their first confirmed case of about ten days before we do here in

the united states. actually. i'm sorry. we were ten days before them. the reason we don't have as many as they do was because we had an initial initiation of the travel ban, and we have been blasting the airways talking about social distancing, hand hygiene. although they may be seem futile, they are actually halting the spread. now is crucial. it is absolutely crucial to take these measures. italy has been on lockdown for about a week. just reported their highest single day death tolls yesterd yesterday. imagine -- they are going to see it start to level off fairly soon since they have been on lockdown. but if we don't lock down now and the spread, we could absolutely find ourselves in the same position. >> melissa: what does that mean? and what spends dumb accents? >> dr. saphier: people taking precautions. the st. patrick's day parade was canceled, but people were out of the bars, having a good time. that is not taking

accountability for what is going on. as long as we have those behaviors, we are going to spread the illness. i don't wanted to have to come to draconian measures. that means staying home. that is how you were going to really help us in our efforts. we have already started mobilizing medical units. we are getting testing. i already know of a couple of other going to be starting in our local communities. these are all crucial and what we need to do. >> harris: david, i want to come to you quickly before we have to take another break. and it has to do with what we were telling our listeners. there is a role for broadcasters. we are even seeing some sport stars do this. of course the nba players have been sidelined, so maybe they have some more time. but there is a role to lead by example. and i know that you and your wife have been thinking -- you travel a lot. what kind of adjustments are you talking with your listeners about? >> david: well, i go back to

good habits. doing the things that we are taught or should have been taught. washing your hands, cleaning the services. >> harris: just in terms of social distancing? that personal accountability role. although that isn't part of of it, but that which we see? >> david: you don't control everything around you. if i am on an airplane, which i will be later on this evening, you don't control everything around you, but you simply do your best to keep your environment clean. you wash your hands. soap and water or some type of sanitizer. the habits that we need to reinforce, what nicole is talking about, how we deal with our situations around us, if we don't do that, we are going to transmit. but for me, travel is work as well. but i want people to realize that you can still function. you can still go out and do the things you need to do for business, for work, or personally. >> melissa: you can, but you have to be really careful. harris was on lockdown very early.

i was at the other end of the spectrum, saying maybe it was an overreaction. harris, you were right. i was wrong. i wish i had been wrong. >> harris: additional tests will be available later this week. but still prioritizing some patients. whether we will see cases fight, and will everyone who needs a test actually be able to get one? ♪ i love rakuten, it's basically free money. it's an easy way to earn cashback on the stuff i'm already buying. sometimes it's 3% sometimes it's 8% but you're always getting cashback. so it's like getting free money. go to rakuten.com and sign up today for a $10 bonus.

>> as of monday, we will have more than 2,000 labs coming online with high speed testing and we are connecting states to those testing methods. now all coronavirus testing is free, and it is free for every american, including uninsured americans. and we continue to urge passage of the legislation that will be considered by the senate this week. >> harris: talking about major improvements and testing beginning this way, including drive-through and a boxer testing being set up in the hardest hit areas. they will be able to screen up

to 4,000 people per day, with priority given to the most vulnerable. dr. saphier, this is what needed to happen. he said two weeks ago you were looking for something like this. we saw it in albany, new york. the decision is being made about what to do with that community. how will this go? how does it work, exactly? >> dr. saphier: well, it is going to work in a variety of ways. we heard when president trump brought in the private industry, we had people staying out from target, walmart, cvs, walgreens. they are working together to help utilize their parking lots, set up these mobile testing site so that they can have more people testing. they came out with the new automated testing, so instead of waiting a couple of days, they should be ready within a couple of hours. the availability of testing is increasing. i am hearing about it in my own profession. >> harris: can we hit the pause button just there for a second? so the home testing kits. there are a lot of doctors i

don't agree with the fact that doctors are not a part of this. what do you say about that? the home testing kit. it is not part of the equation now too? >> dr. saphier: i will be honest. i am extremely wary of home testing. even when it comes to cancer and other things. they don't have the same education. they may not be doing it correctly. and if they are not doing it correctly, then it is a wasted test. not everyone needs to be tested because of everybody runs out and goes to get a test, we are going to be out of them just like we are out of toilet paper right now. you have to lean on the people who are recommending you should get tested and who should not get tested. >> harris: the toilet paper apart from a medical perspective blows my mind. i went to the store, and they have plenty of soap. but they are out of toilet paper. soap is the staple that we have been told that we need. doctor, i will give you the last word. >> dr. saphier: the bottom line is we are going to see a lot more testing.

rest assured that i believe the administration at this point, they are doing everything they can from a multifaceted approach, including reinforcing social distancing, getting more test to us. please don't run out and get tested just because you are afraid. call your doctor or local health official. >> harris: all right. great to see you today as always as part of our guest lineup. the president's message to americans ordering supplies. i was just mentioning this. they have issued a warning. you don't want to miss it. ♪ o go, you can enjoy the seafood you love from the comfort of home... if it ever makes it there. spend $30 and get free delivery at red lobster dot com.

panic buyers stripped many store shelves bear across the country. in the meantime, online giant amazon issuing a warning saying customers should expect shipping delays and even product shortages. jessica, this is a real concern. when you see the store shelves empty, you think that means there isn't food. when is going to return? i have to say i myself was nervous about this over the weekend when i saw it was empty. but there are other places, there's a king's pharmacy near me where they would not allow people to buy more than one box of gloves. and they said, "look, calm down and don't hoard because her neighbors need them, too." it was in their financial interest to let people buy back the amount but it was being responsible. what are your thoughts? >> there is a chain called wegmans that's been regulating how many rolls of toilet paper people can buy. the president is correct. i understand buying groceries for a couple more days than you normally would, to have three or

four days worth versus if you are a one or two-day grocery shopper. but think of your fellow american here. there's a story about a couple who bought up all these clorox wipes and p rel and where it jacking up the price which is disgusting and abusive. don't take advantage of a national pandemic. >> harris: dr. safire, it's important for the president to come out and say the food supply chain is working. we can really stock the shelves, because when you look at that from elf perspective you worry. is that story going to be able to restock? he is saying yes. >> dr. saphier: the president himself said he called a sum of people who are manufacturing. tyson, and the others we depend on for this. it's good to know it's not just rhetoric, and sang out a panic. i'll be honest, yesterday went to the store myself and they were out of all chicken. they were like, "don't worry, we keep getting it in, people just keep buying it." exactly what you guys are saying, do this for the betterment of your neighbors. your neighbors need stuff, too. >> melissa: it's unlike some

of the supplies where they say they have been able to restock it quickly. with the food, it is coming to the store. david webb, sorry on this one, you got to talk before. thank you for being here. we are back here in this new format, some of us on the couch and some of us remote, tomorrow. for now, here's harris. >> harris: the coronavirus pandemic bringing life as we know it to a near grinding halt in the u.s. cases and deaths on the rise, federal and local governments shut down pools, restaurants, and entertainment venues. one new jersey town asking every one of its 40,000 citizens to self-quarantine after a new cluster of cases is discovered. >> we will only get through this if we depend on one another and take care of one another, and look out for one another. >> harris: meanwhile, the white house passport, warning it could be months before her life returns to normal. >> as i've said many times, and i'll repeat it, the worst is yet ahead for us. >> harris: the cdc also
