that it's being utilized and transferred to your states that mean that the most. you get all the elective surgery centers, those are your outpatient centers, those ventilators can be utilized. i think as we all work together to solve these solutions, i think unlocking the masks and ppe from construction was absolutely key as well as the ventilator situation. i think the federal government has been very proactive in ensuring we have decreased bureaucracy and barriers. we believe that innovations will continue to come from the field and we appreciate your front line workers who have been informing us about their changes. it's important that you are tracking the data county b by county as granul granularitye can. we got feedback from your community and this will only be

solved if every single person in every single community takes responsibility to ensure they are following the presidential guidelines that were put out several days ago for the two weeks of stopping this virus. we will stay in close communication with all of you from fema. we are very excited about the whole activation of fema that we are able to provide a dialogue both up and down so we could stay in closer communication so we can ensure that we have prioritized all stockpile elements based on the needs and the case structure that has been reported. reporting becomes critical. if we can't see ed, we don't know how to unlock the stockpile. so this, those tests negative and positive will be absolutely essential as well as hospital admission and ccu beds so that we understand exactly what is required from the federal government. thank you, mr. president. >> president trump: thank you very much.

mike, go ahead. >> thank you, mr. president. just two brief points on subscript testing. we have the u.s. public health service has built a model come so many of the states have begun drive-through testing and are doing work in that space. here is how we will be supportive of going forward end where we are rolling that out. the last point that the president asked me to emphasize, we want to encourage everyone on this call to take inventory of your medical supply needs and we urge you to remind them that they need to look to their supply chains first and we will prioritize accordingly. any states that are in the middle of critical response, know that we will work with you to get you what we need to. other states, you need to talk to your health care leaders and

providers and make sure that they are going to the supply chain and w we will encourage yu to pull together the data to emphasize that point. >> president trump: thank you very much, mike. i want to get back to the governors. i do want to say, the fda has approved the compassionate use for a significant number of patients. we have a drug called chloroquine, and a derivation would be hydroxychloroquine. it's a common malaria drug and it's been available, so therefore the safety level we understand very well. it has been relatively safe. it's showing very encouraging early results. the fda which would have taken normally much longer to do and

our great and secretary has been steven hahn. got approval very quickly, i won't tell you how quickly but let's put it this way, it's approved. we have ordered a lot of it and you can, too. it's a very powerful drug for malaria and also for various forms of very serious arthritis. we think it has a very good impact on what we are talking about with respect to the virus. i think to me it's a game changer. it will be a while before we can test and, we are making tremendous progress it's a

therapy produced by gilead and it's called remdesivir. it shows great promise and it's a company that is also working very hard on a drug and it's also doing very well. we've come up with a very successful solution to ebola. the ones that i mentioned are very good. that will be an absolute total game changer. with that, i think we will go back to visits by prescription but states can issue it. i think that's something that

will be very interesting, just so you know, very quickly. but it we've had some very good test sent it's been successful. i think that's probably the most important thing. they got it done almost immediately. who is the next governor? >> dana: i'm bill hemmer here in new york and you've been watching along with us, the vice president and fema in a conference with governors across the country. there's a lot to come in the coming hour. right now at about 3:00 here on the east coast, let's bring you up-to-date as to where we stand in the moment. hospitals and clinics across the country sounding the alarm saying they don't have enough masks and ventilators and other critical medical gear to deal with the pandemic. meanwhile the virus pandemic

reached a milestone in america. the number of cases here at home searching past 10,000 overnight, more than 150 people listed as dead as a result. those numbers will change by the hour as well. every angle as we move through the hour, we will talk with a member of the white house coronavirus task force in a moment. bret baier is standing by with what's happening on the hill but first dr. hashish jeron has been answering her questions. good afternoon to you. why don't we pick up on what the president was talking about, these new medications like chloroquine which has been used to treat me malaria all around the world. do you see promise in that? >> thanks for having me. known about chloroquine is a potential drug for covid-19 and the other drug you mentioned,

remdesivir is also another one where we had some preliminary data. there isn't any major news tod today. they are still very preliminary. we don't have great evidence that they are available, and we should be using them under scientific. >> so the good news you say is the logjam is breaking on the front. the testing front is a different story. and i'm feeling a bit more optimistic, the logjam is starting to break as well. that's 150,000, and yesterday we think we tested probably 20 or

25,000. we are making progress. >> bill: i did that, if we give it four weeks, we will have a pretty good idea as to where we are. do you think that's an accurate date to keep an eye on or is it before or after that? >> we are still kind of in the exponential phase. we are at about 11,000 infections. i'm hopeful that in the next two weeks we will have a much better sense of where we are as a country, we will do enough testing, and identify enough people that are infected and we can actually see with confidence

how much the virus is in our community, in our town and we can then make a plan. >> bill: is at two weeks? >> i'm hopeful we can get there in two weeks. >> bill: thanks for watching today. on the hill today congress of the moment pushing for phase three of the stimulus package. if they get it and when they get it they will pump an additional trillion dollars into our economy. is it enough? the president was asking about that today. >> do you think a trillion dollar stimulus is enough? >> president trump: we will know about that later on. so much depends on what's going on then this room and sort of depends on the medical. if you can stop it in its tracks, the virus, that's plen plenty. >> bill: so the president signing phase two which includes pretesting, paid second family leave which is critical now for the job front.

and good day to you. what are you hearing? we are working from phase one early in the week, and everything on capitol hill suggests that's moving very fa fast. there will be some kind of cash sending out if possible, and there's all kinds of numbers of where it's 99,000 or less, and i think they will put some caps on that. that's a lot of businesses that are really taking it on the ch chin. he gave you a global perspective and i think a lot of you, it's

wrinkly when you want to hear about. there are services going in and out of china right now that seem to be pretty close to normal. so if that's the forecast, what do we take away from his observations as he pilots this thing literally memphis, tennessee? >> bill: frederick smith, ceo of fedex is saying basically china is on the back end of what he seen businesswise on the ground. if that's the case, the market impact here will be like a v. and then the question is when that starts. there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and there are still some dark days ahead. see you at 6:00, thank you. in a moment, we got a lot to get to.

there are a press conference is scheduled from new york through texas to california, and we will be joined by seema verma, on the white house coronavirus task force. the outbreak coming for spring break and the least when florida's beaches may finally close. there's an update on that as of last hour. uhhh... yes. huh... what happens in this one? seagulls. oh, i like it. how are you doing?

president. he's meeting at fema and talking with numerous governors across the country. there's a lot of good new information about what the states need and how they are reaching out to the federal government to try to get that. keeping an eye on this, and in the meantime new york city is becoming the epicenter here in the u.s. the mayor of bill de blasio will speak in about 15 minutes and we can bring that to you. the governor andrew cuomo spoke today and announced new cases in new york, jumped overnight to more than 4,000. that's a total number of the most of any states. that's a lot of more testing throughout the boroughs. david lee miller live in bryant park, and that place would be felt packed. >> in a typical day, bryant park would be packed with workers having lunch, and this is an oasis of green surrounded by canyons of steel.

as you can see from for yourself only a handful of people are here. the number of coronavirus cases cases have spiked to 3600 at least 22 people we are told have died. in an effort to try to slow the speed of the virus, they are ordering all businesses to have no more than 25% of nonessential workers allowed on site. the remainder, the 75%, can work from home. and the new york is sheltering in place. they said there is no quarantine plan for new york city and he also said he would have to approve any such plan. it's similar to what is happening in san francisco. mayor de blasio will hold a news conference in a few moments

time. he may elaborate further. the governor emphasizes the importance of staying calm. >> we now have misinformation, fear and panic which is more contagious or as contagious as the virus. >> new restrictions take effect this evening. the governors of all four states are working together to come up with original uniform plan to combat the spread of the virus. often the distance over my shoulder, that's the new york city public library. the backside of the building and at the front of it has lost two very famous statues of lions. they are named patience and fortitude. and now more than ever, we need them. >> bill: think you you, david lee miller. meanwhile about 10 million people in northern california are told to shelter in place

which means going outside for essential activities such as the grocery store, the gas station or the pharmacy. that order is in effect for nine counties in the bay area. health officials are trying to stop the virus and spread of california. meanwhile, cleveland, ohio, is releasing some of the inmates. at new york's governor is saying he can consider that after an inmate and a corrections officer tested positive. one lawmaker suggesting a lot of people are scared about finding something to eat. thousands of blood drives canceled across the country. we are live in the food bank and a blood center where you can find out in a moment as to how americans on a day-to-day basis are keeping pace. it's the next one. you always drive this slow? how did you make someone i love? that must be why you're always so late. i do not speed. and that's saving me cash with drivewise.

>> bill: at breaking news, reuters just crossing the wire that u.s. port authorities are seeking six and a half billion dollars in grants. it's crossing the wires, we read it now, congress is moving a giant stimulus package and we will see how all this lines up in time. from the blood banks to the food banks we are working to feed those who need it. one organization aiming to feed about 5,000 people per day in new york city alone. sam bloch is one of them, director of field operations for wild central kitchen in the bronx. how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. >> bill: what are you hearing from new yorkers, salmon? >> first off, we started with 5,002 days ago and we and 10,000 yesterday and today. we had 25,000 people here and we are going to be growing that every day. not only in new york but across the country. >> bill: so here's the issue. a lot of folks right now need

some help. what can you do? >> we will continue to doing that. we had that community come together in new york in times of crisis but really the country is come together. we've had responses from restaurants across the country and community leaders that are coming together to help their neighbors out. here in the bronx and the public housing we've had a lot of people coming together and a lot of people saying, my family needs food but i've got my neighbor a few doors down and she is too elderly to leave, can i take her some food? so really everybody keeping up what they are doing and not just the bronx, we got an operation in little rock. the community continues really coming together and helping each other out. speak >> bill: that is amazin

amazing. what are your concerns for you and your workers and volunteers when you interact with people and they interact with you? how does that change the way you work? >> we been working with corona since starting, we started with the cruise ship in japan and dealt with other issues like this with cholera in mozambique. we are taking precautions, which is the big thing of teaching the community that are assisting us, and there are some people moving around but this is still a small fraction compared to how it normally is. >> bill: how can people help, sam? >> without a great response. richard smith not only financially but has helped a lot of other people do so.

whether that's checking on elderly neighbors, or restaurant stepping up to join our growing a network of restaurants. across the board it's keeping that calm camaraderie. xp want to keep up the great work. we have a great network. best vibes to you throughout new york. i mention the blood banks a short time ago, the right crossing america faces a severe shortage. the blood banks are reporting big drop in donations. brian lamann bryan llenas is one story. >> the outbreak has led to the closure of workplace, college campuses and schools which the big problem because 80% or more of the blood supplied or donated comes from our blood centers. according to america's blood

centers, and that's the american red cross. the nation now faces a severe blood shortage. donations are essential for patients for chronic diseases, burn victims and cancer patients. they have doubled their appointment slots they can honor the social distancing roles and america's blood.org. >> bill: tell me about the

safety of donating blood right now, how do you reassure people? >> the government says that it is safe to donate blood. they have made that point today over and over again. the fda says there have been no reported or suspected cases of transfusion, transmitted coronavirus. covid-19 poses no known risk to patients receiving blood transfusions and today, the u.s. surgeon general set blood centers are taking extra precautions to protect donors from covid-19. they are disinfecting surfaces in asking people to use hand sanitizers and they are, like i said it, staggering people. one last thing, this is not just for people who have chronic illnesses. doctors who are taking care of sick patients with covid-19 still need that donate blood. >> bill: thank you. the governor in connecticut has delayed their primary until the 2nd of june which is not very surprising. the new york mayor will brief in a few moments and we will get a sense from him of what new york is facing overnight. meanwhile in florida, spring break crackdown.

>> president trump: it is known as a malaria drug, it's been around for a long time and it has shown a very, very encouraging early results. we are able to make that drug available almost immediately. >> bill: president drug is having the fda look at this malaria drug called us to to help treat the symptoms of coronavirus. the actual vaccine is still about a year away. if we get through the trials, then the vaccine could be a year away. seema verma runs medicare and medicaid services, how are you doing? thank you for your time and good

afternoon. we are trying to get a sense about where we are. and if you look at these different countries, we get the coronavirus versus the mentality rate and this is what we have trying to work out. and south korea is 1.1. what you have said and others, you need to be right here around south korea. and what is your message about how we maintain that point. >> this is what the president and vice president have reiterated over and over again, it's up to every single american to do their part and really take

the recommendations very seriously about staying home, teleworking, staying away from crowds and groups of more than ten people and washing your hands. all of those things are so important because we don't like to be like in italy. the percentage of ratios is much graver in italy then we seen in other parts of the world. i wanted to share this graphic with our viewers as well, and in the u.s. for the last month the number of the deaths on the screen, 65 and older had some very hard. what we found is a hospitalization rate is spread rather evenly. 20-44 here, 45-54 here, and then on up past the age of 65. what's the message for this particular set up here today?

>> one of the things that we are hearing about and this is the data that is coming from italy, in italy it was just the older population that was hospitalized, 12% were younger people in italy, 30 and 40-year-olds and they had significant complications and needed respirators. i think some of the emerging data has said some of our millennial population could be impacted by this as well. again, that's why we go back to those precautions. we had some concerns with millennials not heeding the warnings saying, i am invincible. if i get this, it will be flu-like symptoms. and they have the ability to be a carrier. >> bill: i was speaking with a doctor from harvard and his sense was we are about two weeks of knowing about the social

distancing. what do you think about the two week production? >> number one we will see an increase in testing. as we see an increase in testing we are already seeing the number of cases go up. we will understand what we will see over the next few days and we will see an increase in testing, but that's not necessarily because of the rate of infection going up, it's because there's a backlog of tasks. we will have a bit of a hump on her curve and i think after that when we get caught up in the testing we will have a better sense of how -- the social distancing and we will have a better sense of an impact that it's going to have. >> bill: it's four weeks away. is that a more fair representation to of a timeline? >> one of the things we want to be careful about is not misleading people. the reality is this is a

brand-new virus and it's hard to tell what's going to happen. that being said if we look at the experience in china, if we look at the experience and south korea, they took some note corrective actions around social distancing, keeping people isolated and they are actually having a decrease in new cases. we are making these recommendations for each and every american so they can play a part in trying to reduce the spread. the announcement around tele- medicine was so critical, what we essentially dead in the medicare program was allow them to use telehealth more broadly. this way they can talk to their doctor over the phone and that visit is completely paid for with no co-pays. this is really important for health care workers. it protects them and helps

preserve supplies, personal protective equipment that we are hearing people have concerns about, and it actually frees up more of those supplies. >> bill: what about the testing kits? my sense is we are doing better but not where we need to be. >> that's right. we have seen the number go up and over the next few days you will see a lot more testing happening and because of that we will actually see an increase in the number of cases. the american government is prepared for that but as we get through that backlog we are going to see more cases. i think the testing situation is getting better and better every day. we are still not where we want to be what we are definitely seeing improvements and more testing going out. they are also getting processed faster. >> bill: i thank you for your time, i know you have to run. the beaches in florida are shutting down after video showed a large parting for spring break. phil keating is on that story,

and you are on the beach, clearwater beach in florida. >> this speech in particular receiving a lot of criticism this week. national finger wagging and shaking at spring breakers and their families who have been on this beach essentially ignoring the distancing urgings of the cdc. but today, there's a lot of people out here, another beautiful day on the beach. but look at everybody and everyone seems to be maintaining the distance from group to group that they are supposed to be. statewide, most of the beaches do remain open, 800 miles of beaches in the state. more and more are closing every day. but everybody who does go is supposed to be spaced out. groups no larger than ten and 6 feet apart from anyone else. his white clearwater beach looks like earlier this week despite the pandemic threat. at an emergency meeting called last night clearwater's council

reacted to all the criticism ruling that all the beaches in the city will be closed starting on monday. across the state in cocoa beach, more spring break crowds packed to the beach wednesday with little concern about a virus that many young people think only seriously affects the older generation. >> family vacation. everybody is freaking out over the coronavirus. it's a cold, wash her hands. plain and simple. my wife is a nurse, so it doesn't really affect us as long as we maintain what we are supposed to do. >> but you won't see people on this beach after this weekend because monday it is closed. closing the beaches or not remains a local decision and the governor has not issued an executive order himself. so tourists need to pay attention. florida's very first beach town to enact beach bands were miami beach and fort lauderdale which on sunday shut the very popular spring break hot spot down as well as the entertainment district.

>> the challenge of the youth is the big challenge for us. we have a lot of young people coming here. it's hard to convince a kid to think they have a sense of mortality. >> that's so true. also starting today there will be no more beach part to make parking in brevard county, all to curtail numbers on the sand. miami-dade county is now closed all beaches in the entire county. for millennials who think they are invincible, the cdc is now advising that anybody between the ages of 20 and 44 who contract covid-19, 20% will end up in the hospital. >> bill: thank you phil come up phil keating on the beach in florida. meanwhile the state department moments ago, a new travel warning to citizens. they request that citizen should arrange for immediate return to the u.s. unless they choose to remain abroad for an indefinite period.

unknown. i wouldn't try to mislead people and try to guess i think it will get worse before it gets better. >> bill: we got different phases and capitol hill, i know you've been following that. now we move to phase three that you we were just addressing there. what should washington do? >> welcome i think the most important thing for our government to do is keep us safe. i think getting its arms around the situation and understanding how to contain this virus, providing ways for us to be able to test for it and be able to treat the people that are most needed, i think that's the most important thing. on the economic side, obviously the thing that will heal this economy is to be able to contain the virus, and for people to have confidence. you and i both know the stock market is a living, breathing thing. i'm encouraging people to control the things they can control, your attitude, your outlook interaction. >> bill: the governor said that earlier in new york, the fear is worse than the virus and you talk about that a lot.

>> i really do. when you deal with fear, we are dealing with an unknown disease. we don't know where it came from or how to identify or contain it. so when left to our own devices we can automatically go to heights of the unknown. i want to encourage people not to waste emotional energy. it's okay to be at informed, don't become obsessed. >> bill: we will treat. thank you chris. keep your smile on. it has hit the prison system, or he'll release and dozens of prisoners and other states might do the same. who is getting out, and where are they going? ♪ when you shop with wayfair,
