it has been used 50 times. obama used this law. we used to during the gulf war to make sure we had body armor, it doesn't nationalize anything. what it does, the federal government needs something for national security, basically tells the industry we have to be the customer of choice and cut a lot of red tape so you can get into purchasing, production and distribution. to have that in place in case we have a medical need and additional medical equipment which is prudent to have in place. rob: ventilators and medical supplies to keep medical professionals safe. look at italy and other countries, they have complete lockdown. if this requires companies to work for the federal government that would require people who work for those companies to ignore the quarantine and go to work.

we have that is prudent. jillian: a couple minutes ago you mentioned the importance of flattening the curve and this is something a lot of people have heard about or you have seen charts like this. some people don't take this seriously. talk about the importance of this and how this is the way this will get done. >> if you look at the countries that suffered the first wave of the virus, china, hong kong, taiwan, south korea, how did they come out of this? the answer is they flattened the curve, limited the spread of the virus, that is the single most important thing. i would argue largely done by social distancing. if you look at what they are doing, trying to prevent reinfection by people coming back into the country, travel restrictions are important. the fastest way to get out of this. people are uncertain about the future but we have a good lesson you can get ahead of this if you

stop the spread of the infection. if you want get back to normal economic activity go to disney world, do everything else the number one thing all-americans can do is break the back of the spread of the disease right now. rob: we appreciate it. jillian: covid-19 so quickly spreading so quickly, putting inmates back on the streets to stop that spread. we look at the head scratching plan to keep the bug out of city jails when we come back. doesn't love you back, stay smooth and fight heartburn fast with tums smoothies. ♪ tum tum-tum tum tums with tums smoothies. looking to repair dry, damaged hair without weighing it down? try pantene daily moisture renewal conditioner. its color-safe formula uses smart conditioners to micro-target damage helping to repair hair without weighing it down. try pantene.

major lung damage, a clean slate as far as medical records go. what he saw on long-standing young patients was terrifying. this on the heels of a spike in covid-19 cases in young healthy people between the ages of 30 and 50. the centers for disease control and prevention release report showing 40% of patients sick enough to be put in the hospital were between 20-54 years old, 19 was the youngest age group, less than one% of them were put in the hospital. these reports come out of china, kids under the age of 5 could be at risk of getting seriously ill. the white house coronavirus response coordinator is what could happen if millennial's don't practice social distancing. take a listen. >> it may have been the millennial generation, our
