these things anticipating their requirement. we can't wait for the phone to ring. that is why we are out now. we are in 50 different states talking to 50 different governors. i have 21 planning teams sitting there right now talking to governors, do you want covid-19, noncovid-19? >> new york andrew cuomo said four hospitals will be ready to go the next two weeks but asking the president to approve an additional four temporary hospitals. the state has 53,000 hospital beds, and they need 140,000 but in the meantime the u.s. army has 6650 medical personnel from two army field hospitals to assist in all the medical needs here in new york. again, bill, just an incredible effort by men and women in uniform on the local level and national level on the front lines. andrew cuomo has had a rescue mission to save lives. >> bill: remarkable stuff again, bryan llenas on the west side of manhattan, thank you,
12:28 pm
sir. and the stimulus package now on its way to the white house for the president's signature. chris wallace on deck as we await the top of the hour coming up. cases surging in america. the task force warning in new hot spots like chicago and detroit. we will break that down in a moment next. ♪ including itchy throat. plus an immediate blast of cooling sensation. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. our grandmothers did not have an equal right to vote. we do. find their stories. make them count. at ancestry.

hey you, yeah you. ♪ i opened a sofi money account and it was the first time that i realized that i could be earning interest back on my money. this is amazing.
12:32 pm
i just discovered sofi, and i'm an investor with a diversified portfolio. who am i? they make you feel like it's an honor for them to help you out. thanks sofi for helping us get our money right. ♪ >> bill: here rico, and wake spectra president trump to sign to trillion dollar coronavirus relief bill. chris wallace and current fox news sunday, good afternoon to you. >> well, i haven't. i'm at the main headquarters in manhattan. so you get $2 trillion. i get that sense yesterday, chris watching jerome powell the chairman of federal reserve go on national television on a morning show i think for the first time ever to reassure americans, to reassure american businesses that the government has got your back. this is not your fault. we will make sure we see you to
12:33 pm
the other side. the other thing he was trying to express, chris, i know you have steven mnuchin over the weekend on your show. he believes the u.s. government with three times the firepower today than it had when you have the collapse of the financial industry of late 2008. and if you listen to him talk, the market has responded in kind, i believe. what is your sense of that today? >> well, yeah, i agree that they will do everything they can in both a physical sense and monetary sense, the federal reserve with all that they can do from liquidity in the markets and the interest rates, congress, and the president to do everything they can do with spending. $2 trillion. remember back in 2009 with the great recession and there was an $800 billion bill. this is almost triple that. and they passed it in a week. so they are going to do everything they can, but, you
12:34 pm
know, there is the big difference. before it was just an economic crisis. now this is all being caused by this huge physical threat of the coronavirus. and that has a mind and a timeline of its own. and so we can do, man can do everything they want, but to a certain degree, we are a little bit or a lot at the mercy of the virus. >> bill: a couple of things here. a sound bite from the new york governor andrew cuomo, 10:30 or 11:00 eastern time today. >> this is going to be one of those moments that they will write about and they will talk about. for generations. this is a moment that is going to change this nation. this is a moment that forges character, forges people. changes people. make them stronger, make them weaker, but this is a moment
12:35 pm
that will change character. >> bill: i just wanted you to listen to that. i want to frame that with the following fox news polling. approval rating for the president 48%, which is really matches his high going back to february 2017. and then, chris, with regards to the american people and how they are filling with this, but this question out there. with the records of the virus, and the following things, 89% of recession, they have concerns about that. 70% hardship to the families, 74% access to health care services and 70% concerned whether or not they will be able to get tested. the testing skyrocketing the past week you could argue. you put that altogether and how we are the leader is doing, how is the new york governor doing? because millions and millions of people as we saw from the town hall in the rose garden on tuesday are watching and waiting to hear from us. >> yeah, absolutely.
12:36 pm
and the answer is people are obviously very concerned about a recession. if you have been thrown out of work, as they say come a recession is when somebody else's thrown out of work. about the pressure is when you are thrown out of work if you are a small businessman. do you keep people on the payroll or not? what about the overhead of the rent that you have to pay to your landlord? we here come obviously with a $2 trillion bill, boatloads of money will be thrown out, but how hard will it be to sign up for it. how soon will you get it? having said all of that, i don't think we can take our eye off of the ball and the ball come of course, is the virus. i know everybody wants to get back to normal, but again as i said the first time, the virus has a timetable of its own. and you can't rush it. and it seems to me the worst thing that could happen would be if we were to loosen the reins
12:37 pm
on our social distancing, quarantining or whatever to sin. and to see when we are beginning to pay the price of getting control of this virus and then it comes back even worse. all i can say is trust the signs, trust the public health experts. they are the expert in this thing. you wouldn't ask a tv person how to fly an airplane. don't be asking politicians how to deal with the virus, a pandemic. >> bill: thank you, chris. we will see you sunday, okay? chris wallace, the conversation continues and chris, the secretary steven mnuchin about the virus. the relief package and what comes next. check that out on the local fox nation and the listings for the time. and here on the fox news channel 2:00 eastern coast time on sunday. that is coming up, but in the meantime we are watching this map. the united states right now leading the world with 97,000 confirmed cases.
12:38 pm
as i mentioned a moment ago not quite at the 1,000 mark for the recovery. but this is where i start my day every day. and i go here just about every hour on the day. i end my day on this map, just trying to figure out trends across the world. so all's well so my guest, the scholar, john's hopkins university center for health and security. doctor, thank you for coming back here today. what do you see in these numbers in these trends today, doctor? >> looking at the united states sell not 100% and we have
