keys, tim mcgraw, a lot of people into donate go to the website below. that is all for tonight, follow me on facebook, instagram and twitter, judged jim justice with jeanine is next, i waters and this is my world. >> breaking tonight, a man quarantined in the tri-state area won't be necessary and calls for travel advisory where the coronavirus is hitting hardest. hello and welcome to justice. >> we are having some technical difficulties with her livestock, thank you so much for joining us tonight, we will get to her and a moment. we will discuss the possibility of returning to some sondland of normalcy in other parts of the country as well. we will do it all with a stellar lineup, we are putting straight from the front line, dr. birx

from the white house coronavirus tax force, peter navarro, free trade and manufacturing, and marshall blackford, congresswoman and steve scalise, doctor william levin. but as we have been reporting, president trump says he is no longer considering what he calls a mandatory quarantine for new york, new jersey and parts of neconnecticut. this is just breaking, joining me from the white house task force on coronavirus to discuss that and more is one that we have seen a lot of w over the pt few weeks and we thank you for all of your hard work, she has been front and center of all this government response to the epidemic, the pandemic, dr. birx. thank you so much for being here with us tonight. what can you make of the news that just broke with president

trump saying there will not be y mandatory quarantine for new york, new jersey and parts of connecticut. >> i think president trump wanted all of america to know where the virus is and where it is expanding rapidly and he really felt like everybody had to be aware and have a trouble advisory and talking to the governors, it was clear the governors felt together that they could actually keep their people safe and at home like they all have asked their people to shelter in place. and to keep themselves safe, i think together, that has been the exciting part about working at the white house in working with the governors, everybody has been working together to do what's best for all of america. >> speaking of the governors, we areki aware that andrew cuomo hs not been happy with things that the president trump was doing and talking about the potential mandatoryoi quarantine for the tri-state area, he was not happy aboutua that.

>> i think the dialogue has been quite good between the vice president, the president and the governor cuomo, we understand governor cuomo's job is to protect new yorkers and to ensure that new yorkers have everything that they need to respond to thiss virus. i think it is our job as americans and our job as part of the federal government to make sure all of america gets what they need to respond to this virus effectively. we look across every state, every region, every county to ensure that we note exactly what is going and to be able to support the governor and to understand and to focus on the united states and ensure everybody is protected. and ense is protected. >> can you give us a better sense of the cdc travel advisory. what would that look like across the country? what can we expect. >> i think were all fairly concerned when we look, if you look at the absolute case numbers from you see a lot of them are in new york city, but when you look at cases by

100,000 population, you can see a lot of the infection is in westchester now growing into rockland, bergen new jersey, and then out in nassau and new york as well as new york city so we wanted people to know and the president wanted everyone to know where this virus is so people would be aware if they're going to travel to that area that that area had a very significant amount of covid-19 or the coronavirus. it's really to make americans aware about traveling to new york and also make it clear to the people in the area to protect themselves following the guidelines to really stay home and hunker down, stay at home and wash her hands and not touch her face. we are finding a lot of transmission is occurring by people forgetting what their hands have touched and then touching their face.

>> we were listening to a doctor last hour talk about it's really about what's on your hands and not putting your hands anywhere on your face, not to oversimplify it but he said that is a good portion of how you will contract the virus. there's a lot of things going around, should you wear a mask or gloves or be 6 feet away. what do you think is the biggest misconception that people have about this virus. >> i think people really don't understand how transmittable it is. it is much more transmittable than flu. it is much more transmittable than a lot of the other coronavirus is that people have heard about like sars. were really beginning to understand how much of this is on surface and in personal contact, that's why we are saying 6 feet but people touch things. you touch things all day long and then you forget and you push a piece of hair under your face or you, your eye

itches or your nose itches so were really asking everyone to be aware with their hands have been and ensure there washing them, use hand sanitizer if they can't wash in that moment and really protect themselves. this will come down to communities doing the guidelines perfectly and everybody protecting themselves and their family. >> so the u.s. leads the world in the number of confirmed cases. we are at 115,000 as of tonight, saturday night. when do you think we will see the peak? >> i want all of america to know that we are the third largest country so the only other country that was larger than us that had this virus was china, and were still not quite sure how many people contracted the virus in china. when you look at italy and spain, we are about five and a half times or six times bigger than most countries so we will have higher numbers. the number two country, india, is really working very hard to

make sure they contain or mitigate the virus so clearly the virus quietly spreads before people start getting sick. that's fine we are really asking people to follow these guidelines even if you don't think there's a virus there it probably is. we don't think any city will be spared from this virus. >> all right. we really appreciate your time. lastly, what would you say to those who have been very critical about the way president trump has dealt with the spread of the coronavirus here in the u.s. >> i know when doctor fauci and i show him the data and show him what's happening, i think both president trump and the vice president is very concerned about how it spreading and by the families who have been touched by this and i think were all concerned as americans that were losing americans to this virus.

that's why every day when they come to the podium they talk about what every american can do to stop the spread. if i leave anything with your audience it is follow the guideline. please follow the guidelines. protect yourself, protect your family, but let's unite together and protect america. >> it's definitely a weird time very eerie and sad. it's saturday night at 9:00 o'clock it and i can see fifth avenue and there's not a soul on the street. our thoughts and prayers going out to the entire world. thank you very much doctor deborah burke. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> meanwhile italy is reeling from the coronavirus pandemic. they reported 889 deaths today, just one day after reporting its highest daily death toll since the crisis started. amy kellogg has more from florence italy. >> the numbers here have not been good at all.

we had our highest daily death toll yesterday at 919, slightly less today, the numbers of new infections percentagewise are slightly down but we are still far from being out of hot water. 20% of covid-19 deaths worldwide have been in lombardi which is the northern region of italy. it is just not clear when restrictions will be loosened because italy knows the rest of the world is watching to see how what we do, what effect it has plays out. francis implored god to help last night. he said we are all in the same vote together, there are six cases in the vatican, someone in the pope's resident tested positive. 170 tests were carried out and all came back negative. russia was in the news showing the ministry of defense help disinfect and treat people. some question why the russian military has to be here.

they said they are extremely grateful for russia's help. germany continues to take patients that italian hospitals can't cope with. another issue during this time of quarantine has been caring for the homeless who not only have nowhere to go and no passerby to feed them, but are extremely exposed, much like the doctors and nurses who are on the front lines, over 40 doctors have died from coronavirus and thousands of healthcare workers have been infected. the pope has prayed for them as all the unsung heroes such as those who work in hospitals, cleaning up day and night, some of them for less than a thousand dollars. month. a lot of doctors are complaining they are not getting the protection they need out there on the front lines in terms of the more protective masks and other things. there have been appeals and people stepping forward to help with supplies and this new doctors and nurses coming our way, but the bottom line

is it continues to be a tremendous struggle and one newspaper wrote these doctors are tired of being called heroes. they need to feel defended. >> amy kellogg in italy. there could be technical problems worked out and she is up with her opening statement as well as peter navarro and lisa booth. the good news? our protection lasts all day. the bad news? so will this recital. depend® fit-flex underwear offers your best comfort and protection guaranteed. because, perfect or not, life's better when you're in it. be there with depend®. for ralphie's appointment. who's his groomer? carrie. full groom for sure what? i just booked ralphie's appointment online. that work? wait you what? it's that easy! download the app or book online at petsmart.com

>> welcome back. it's good to be with you tonight and we apologize for the technical difficulties but we are certainly delighted to have marsha blackburn with us to talk about the coronavirus and what she's doing to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. senator blackburn, it's good to have you on this evening. >> it's good to be with you. thank you. >> senator you have some very strong feelings about china and the coronavirus and what has happened, and not so much looking backwards, but looking forward, what is it that you are trying to do going forward? >> one of the things we need to do is pass this resolution, senna resolution 553 that will

explicitly layout that we know china is responsible for this global pandemic that they hid information and were not transparent in what they knew. they refused the help and tried to blame it on the u.s. army. china should be called to account for this. because of their bad behavior, that global pandemic is much worse than it would have been. jeanine: all right. now let's assume that something like that happens, how does that help us in any way in terms of the pandemic or in terms of sanctioning china or anyone else for what has happened. >> jeanine, what it would do is send that message to china, to the people's republic of china, to the communist party there that the u.s. senate fully understands what they did and that they chose to hide this and when the world

health organization wanted to go in and the cdc wanted to go in, they did not want us to go in there, and because of their actions, this is much worse. i will tell you, i'm one of those, i think china should be held to account financially for what they have done. they hold a lot of our debt. maybe they should waive that debt, but they should be held to account for this. and then you look --dash. jeanine: senator, excuse me, why do you think the president has been so kind saying that they're going to fight the coronavirus together, the president was very tough on china with respect to trade and with respect to the intellectual property problems, and now he seems to be on a very different footing. why do you think that is? >> i think we are very fortunate to have donald trump as president right now because he called attention during the campaign that we were to dependent on china, and you

are exactly right, whether it comes to military or to technology, or to consumables and consumer goods, and of course also our pharmaceuticals. we are far too dependent on china, and president trump was right to raise that. he is also right to try to have a working relationship with president of china so that we can get to the bottom of the coronavirus, stop this covid-19 pandemic. jeanine: finally, in terms of the president and in terms of china, the supply chain, what do we have to do to get our supply chain back to this country so that america truly is first in terms of the preparation and the making of our own medication. >> yes, exactly. that is my legislation. securing america's medicine cabinet. what it would do is incentivize bringing that mark

chet pharmaceutical manufacturing and production back on u.s. shores. that is what we want to do. february 27, 1 of the active pharmaceutical ingredients we need for one of the medications of the antivirals for covid-19, that is manufactured in china, it is the sole source. what did china want to do, they said we may not let you have that. this is on top of once when we needed penicillin we couldn't get it so let's bring that manufacturing back. incentivize that coming back, look at it as a national security issue as well as her health and financial security. we also hope that we will be able to set up some institution of higher learning partnership with pharmacies and have a hundred million dollars grant school to do that. it's bipartisan legislation, it is a step in the right direction, i say let's make america manufacturer again,

and let's bring this pharmaceutical manufacturing back to u.s. shores so that we are no longer dependent on china for things that are so sourced through china that we need to keep ourselves well and healthy. >> all right. senator blackburn, thanks so much for being with us this evening. >> it's good to be with you. thank you. stay safe and well. jeanine: you're very welcome. you two. next, peter navarro who has been appointed the point person on the defense production act is joining us next on the phone. peter, do we have you. >> how are you doing. jeanine: good. we are having some technical difficulties tonight. peter. >> it's one of those things, but it's the least of our worries in this crisis. i've been working all day long, working to make sure that we have enough

ventilators and personal protective equipment and we have a real challenge ahead judge, but i tell you what, under the leadership of president trump we have the full force of the federal government, the full power of the private sector working together as americans with a full cooperation's of america, spain is at home doing their social distancing. >> but peter, but what i want to talk about is something specific. my antennas went up last night when i heard the president speaking about general motors and mary and the fact that so many corporations came out in their own financial, it wasn't to their advantage to help their fellow americans out, and then all of a sudden we hear about general motors, worried about contractual

issues and of course at that point the president decides he's going to appoint you to be the trigger man on the defense production act. what's with general motors, and were they trying to gouge or were they arguing about prices? why are they different from walmart, walgreens and all of the other companies that want so much to help america? >> so the defense production act, to mobilize our industrial base in times of strike and we are engaged in the most in structural mobilization since world war ii. i have had tremendous success working with hundreds of companies voluntarily ramping up production. gm was an outlier. instead of moving to a kokomo plant it immediately began the progress of making ventilators which were like the front line of what we need, the days were

going by over contract and this that and the other and the president finally said no this is what were going to use the defense production act so he made that decision, he's always making strong decisions that need to be made, and so now we have gm directed to get going. [inaudible] they are working with a small company that needed gm's help and that's the right direction because what were trying to do here with the defense production act really is harmonize the manufacturing, gloves, ventilators, masks, medicines, everything we need, but i'll tell you what, your earlier gas were right, most of our pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment are offshore right now. they are in country spread out all over the world and guess what, now there the top 20

countries that export pharmaceuticals to us already have imposed various forms of export. china won't let 3m masks out of china. in. [inaudible] europe has a whole range of restrictions they are imposing. if we learn anything from this crisis, judge, after the fact it's that we have to bring our jobs home. this is what president trump has been talking about for years. he ran on this, he's been governing on the idea that we've got to bring our manufacturing home and our jobs home. and you know what, it's like if you lose your machine tools, your electronics or solar to china, you lose a bunch of jobs and you hollow out. if you lose your pharmaceutical and your medical supply you're going to lowe's lives and that's where were at but what were doing

now and thing, it's the full power of the government we as a country are rising up to solve those problems. i do believe when he says were going to be stronger after this than we've ever been. jeanine: peter navarro, thank you for all your hard work. thank you for what you're doing. i know we've talked in the past, a while ago in fact about bringing that supply source back to the united states where it belongs, america first, and with this president, i have a feeling it's probably going to happen. thanks so much for being with us this evening. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. jeanine: we we'll be back in a few moments. ♪ 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. 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. ♪ -excuse me. uh... do you mind...being a mo-tour? -what could be better than being a mo-tour?

the real question is... do you mind not being a mo-tour? -i do. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. i wanted my hepatitis c gone. i put off treating mine. epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. whatever your type, epclusa could be your kind of cure. i just found out about mine. i knew for years epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. i had no symptoms of hepatitis c mine caused liver damage. epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or... ...kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions...

...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects include headache and tiredness. ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. dr. dto do a lot right now. that we're asking americans so we're asking everyone to be selfless for others so that we can protect those who are most susceptible to this virus. dr. jerome adams: a question i often get asked is, "why should young people care about the spread of coronavirus?" well we know that people with underlying medical conditions over the age of 60 are at highest risk, but they've got to get it from somebody. dr. anthony fauci: social distancing is really physical separation of people. dr. deborah birx: it's what we refer to when we ask people to stay at least six feet apart. dr. anthony fauci: not going to bars, not going to restaurants, not going to theaters where there are a lot of people... it all just means physical separation so you have a space between you and others

who might actually be infected or infect you. dr. jerome adams: we all have a role to play in preventing person-to-person spread of this disease which can be deadly for vulnerable groups. for more information on how you can social distance please go to coronavirus.gov doubling in just two days, there are more than just announcing the first case of the federal inmate dying from the virus.

president trump backing away from an ordering quarantine for the metro new york area instead the cdc issued a travel advisory late saturday for residents from new york, new jersey and connecticut. meanwhile search and rescue operations underway in jonesboro arkansas after a tornado ripped through a shopping area there, no one was killed but six people were injured, three of them had to be hospitalized, a tornado watch remains in effect for two counties tonight. now back to "justice with judge jeanine" ♪ ♪ ♪. jeanine: joining us now is house republican minority whip and that is steve scalise. congressman, are you there? >> yes, how are you doing. it's good to be with you. jeanine: it's good to be with you. [inaudible]

[laughter] jeanine: look, in this world, social distancing and all this other stuff, i guess this is just one of the ways we do it. look. you are part about two-point to trillion dollars, the bill that passed that the president signed, talk to us. i'd like you to talk, congressman, to my viewer, to a viewer that doesn't have a job because that viewer has been furloughed or told the businesses closed, and then i'd like you to talk to the small business owner and what the stimulus bill has for that small business owner. >> judge, this bill does a lot for both of those groups of people you talked about. president trump wanted this bill focused on helping families in helping businesses they afloat will we get through this. in the bill you have one section that's dedicated to

getting individual assistance to families. you've got $1200. person, $500. child, some income tax on it but ultimately for families whether they're working, even seniors are eligible for this, the irs will operate the program for people who already filed tax returns, it will automatically come through the irs for seniors it will go through social security. now let's shift over to the business side. what you have is the most powerful program will be the 78 loan program. it's a forgivable loan meaning, even if you lay off people but if you kept your employees, this will pick up the cost of the payroll for your workers as well as all your fixed costs, your rent, utilities, those kinds of fixed costs for businesses small and medium all the way up to a hundred employees will be able to go to your local bank, not through the sba because we know this is going to be something millions of small businesses participate in so we allowed your local banks to be able to write

these loans. go talk to your local banker when they morning if you haven't already and there will be a loan you are able to take out for your payroll cost and for your expenses, and that loan will be forgiven at the time that the first payment comes due. that's going to be critical to keeping a lot of small businesses alive. then of course for large businesses over 500 employees there will be a separate program. you've heard a lot about the airlines, they will be eligible for this but any other business over 500 employees will be eligible as well. the goal is to help families get through and hold onto our businesses so there are jobs to come back to when we get through this crisis. >> okay, but congressman let's talk about the person who ends up going to the bank on monday and says i have 60 employees. how do you prove it, what paperwork do you bring, how is it that you're able to automatically get that loan? what kind of investigation is done? >> the treasury department will come up, what the

secretary said, his office ultimately will administer this through sba and he wants a one-page form, something very straightforward. your local banker is probably somebody who knows your business well. that's why we wanted the community banks to be the ones administering it because they've already got this information on your payroll, maybe if you have other loans with the bank, that will be the quickest way to do it. we don't want this to be something that takes months. you don't have months, you might only have days before your next payments are due. we want to make sure no one is in default. the bank, we also include language in this bill to allow the banks to give you forbearance for the next 60 - 90 days. this is something we did after hurricane katrina where there was no cash flow for a lot of these businesses in the banks were able to say look, will push your payments back 90 days at the end of the note so for the next 90 days you don't have to make your payments or you can stay afloat. banks don't want to foreclose on all these businesses and they don't have any cash flow.

all of these things were included in the bill. this is something president trump was very focused on so we have an economy to come back to as we get through this crisis. >> and you know congressman, i don't know if we've ever done anything like this before. it's a tremendous amount of money, but is there a possibility if this coronavirus continues to spread and the curve isn't flattened sooner rather than later that there could be another stimulus bill that we might need? >> there's been some talk about but right now this bill, there was a lot of work that went into it from everybody. use republicans and democrats come together, president trump worked overtime, of course they couldn't of done a better job but they tried to make sure it would work for every level of business to make sure families were going to get the

money they need to get through this. this is why people need to listen to their local leaders. it's a time for everybody to play your role. staying in your house will be critical to bring that curve down so it doesn't go on for a long time. we don't want this to be a months long thing. it can be weeks if everybody follows those protocols. if you have to go out in public, don't go fight over the toilet paper. be socially distant from people, wash your hands when you're around other people, but stay at home as much as you can. people are doing a lot of things like this interview today, a lot of teleconference, i know a lot of meetings i've had have been over the phone and that's what people are adjusting to so take advantage of that to let that curve come down so that we can reopen things sooner rather than later. jeanine: okay, all right. congressman scalise, thanks so much for everything you're doing for the american people. i'm glad you are out of quarantine yourself and try to stay safe during all of this. thanks so much. >> you stay safe to and god bless you and all your listeners. jeanine: thank you. doctor william levine from

columbia presbyterian will be joining us after the break. remind me to call petsmart for ralphie's appointment. who's his groomer? carrie. full groom for sure what? i just booked ralphie's appointment online. that work? wait you what? it's that easy! download the app or book online at petsmart.com

jeanine: all right. joining us tonight is doctor michael levine from columbia presbyterian hospital, one of the hospitals in manhattan that is very affected in the epicenter of the virus in terms of, in the interest of full disclosure he actually operated on my rotator cuff. he is an orthopedic surgeon and i had occasion to speak with him and i'm very thrilled that you're here tonight to talk about how your world is changed and so many of the doctors under you as chair of the department, given your expertise now what you're doing because of coronavirus. can you explain to my viewers how things have changed?

>> jeanine, thanks so much for having me on tonight. it's certainly a pleasure to be here. it's safe to say that the word unprecedented is probably the best word we can use. as an orthopedic surgeon, to be perfectly honest, we are no longer performing orthopedic surgery with the exception of emergency fractures. we have had to basically shut down all elective surgery of all types because of the covid-19 pandemic. and so what are leadership at new york presbyterian and columbia university medical center have done, about two weeks ago they asked all of us as chairs to come up with an emergency plan if our healthcare workers on the front line in our emergency room and our intensive care unit would be deployed to do other things, we would need as orthopedic surgeons to perhaps have to fill that gap. that's in fact where we are.

that theoretical emergency state we reached so today, for the first time two of my orthopedic surgery residents are working in the emergency room to help out our colleagues in the er because of the depleted healthcare workers in the emergency room. jeanine: you know, it must be, especially for residents and doctors who are just beginning at your hospital, it must be rather strange for them to say i trained for eight years for this and now i'm working in intensive care or i'm working in the emergency room. this is all voluntary i assume. they realize they are in a danger zone which is a little different than it used to be. >> there's no question jeanine that that's exactly the situation so this is about our

calling as physicians, as nurse practitioners come as nurses come as respiratory therapists, everything a person right now in the healthcare system is basically saying we are all in, were all going to do whatever we need to to try to stamp out this pandemic, and most importantly to take care of our patients because at the end of the day that's what it's all about. so, you're right, our residents are really need no encouragemenencouragement whatsoever. they volunteered to do this and as long as we have personal protective equipment and were not putting ourselves directly in harms way, then obviously i'm supporting that fully and supporting the new york presbyterian initiative to do what we need to do to help our colleagues who are in desperate need right now in the emergency room for us as surgeon. >> but then doctor, do you have the equipment that you need? not just for your own

physicians and nurse practitioners, but ventilators for the patient's? >> well, i think you have to break that down into two questions jeanine. for the personal protective equipment which is the and 95 surgical mask, gowns and gloves, we are finally at a point where we are comfortable that we have that type of equipment and goggles. my chief resident brother-in-law actually 3d printed facemasks for all of our residents and presbyterian is likewise 3d printing facemasks as well. so for that part of it i think were in good shape. the ventilator question, as you have documented and everyone is documenting is a much bigger problem that is a national and international crisis that we are all facing. we have right now somewhere over 1300 inpatients in the new york presbyterian system

were inpatient and about 20, 21% of those patients are in intensive care units. the entire third and fourth floor operating rooms at new york presbyterian columbia campus have been converted to intensive care units. this is something that we've never seen, could never really have even imagined in any of our wildest dreams. >> well, but if you are in a position doctor where you have one ventilator for two patients, is that happening now? are you jerry rigging them. >> it's really important to understand that our folks at nypd campus have been working on that and that's been pretty well discussed in the media, but it's really important to understand that this is not something you can look at youtube video and then do anywhere you want.

this is extraordinarily complex and, at its best it may add an additional 20 patients at each of our campuses. in other words ten ventilators might be able to, with the exact right patient in the exact variables be able to be jerryrigged to ventilate to patients on one ventilator. this is not something that will solve the bigger crisis at all, and it's also something that cannot be done by anybody. you have to make sure you have your entire team working on this and that's what they been doing at my hospital, and even so it's only been done on two patients so far. >> well it could be, obviously it could be a danger zone but last question and very quickly doctor, are you on any kind of medication yourself given the fact that some on your staff have actually gotten sick from

this? this is worse than the civil war because in the civil war, as bad as it was, you didn't have everything you needed, you couldn't catch something from the patient. now you can catch something from the patient. >> jeanine it's a great question but i think it's really important that all of your viewers understand that there are really important guidelines that have been outlined by the cdc and those guidelines do not include taking medication routinely, they do not include being tested routinely if you're a symptomatic. so i'm on no medication, i'm following are guidelines carefully and making sure we are doing everything that we need to do to help protect ourselves and our patient. jeanine: doctor levine, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate everything you're doing. god bless you. god bless you. back after the break. motor?

nope. not motor? it's pronounced "motaur." for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

jeanine: welcome back to justice. just the other day the president talked or was hoping about the possibility of reopening everything on easter sunday in a way where we could kind of come out of this quarantine, as lou says that

may be that we are involved in. lisa booth is here to talk with us tonight about whether or not that's even a possibility. how are you lisa. >> i'm good. things are a little different, i'm at home at my parents house via skype so it's a little different these days. jeanine: i'll just tell you, i can't see you so everything looks different to me. >> i can't see you either. i'm sure you look great. jeanine: we should just call each other but anyway, on the one hand we've got people like ron, the government in florida who says i want to stop people from coming to florida, and a few weeks ago everybody was dancing on the beach down there, and yet at the same time you got the president who's kind of hoping that on a day of resurrection that we might be able to kind of come out of this. do you have any input, any insight on that, the

possibility of that happening. >> i'm sure the president is looking at the fact that we have 3.3 million unemployment claims. they are spending trillions of dollars to try to revive the economy to keep it afloat so clearly shut down is unsustainable. the obvious question is at what point is it safe to start reopening the economy or maybe even parts of the economy. i think it comes down to the data in making sure that we have good data. we see doctor burke talking a lot about going through the data on a very granular level so we want to make sure it's accurate and projections are right because if you point out, you look out they originally estimated 5000 people would die of coronavirus. now they've revised up and said 5700. it's important to get those for projections correct. you're not instilling here and they're not making decisions

based on misinformation and incorrect data. >> while obviously the data is so important lisa as he made clear, but we still haven't gotten to the point where it peaks and then it goes down or whether it's a plateau. we don't even know for near that point and there's talk of 15 - 21 days before that happens. >> and what the challenges as we don't really have a great snapshot of the data to date. i spoke with the stanford professor who is a professor of medicine as well as epidemiology and he said the only way to really get a true snapshot of where we are is through random sampling because of your only testing very sick, if you're only testing the sick, those mortality rates are going to ge look different. announcer: there are everyday
