1:13 am
>> the better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end. therefore, we will be extending our guidelines to april 30th to slow the spread. jillian: president trump extending the coronavirus restrictions through the end of april as dr. fauci warns the u.s. could see millions of cases and over 100,000 deaths. rob: fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier joins us live. good morning to you. another month of this lockdown. do you think that will be enough? >> well, you know, listen, rob,
1:14 am
let's not call it a lockdown, let's remember that we are doing this to not only save our ourse, our families and our entire country. the president came out saying he thinks he needs to extend the recommendations for social distancing up until april 30t april 30th, i think that probably more realistic than the easter date that he gave before. i did like that it was hopeful and aspirational. however, it did seem a bit premature as we're still seeing that we're on the acceleration phase of this pandemic. we really want to start seeing us get to the equilibrium phase and the deceleration before we start talking about opening things back up. let's be honest, rob. it doesn't have to be so -- president trump's letters to the governors, he's going to start stratifying risk to low, medium and high and perhaps have it on a county by county basis as to who should slowly open and who should not. i think that overall is the best plan. but the truth is, we're going to
1:15 am
have to be smart about this. it's going to take a while before we start opening up everything, saying business as usual. i do think that they're going to slowly start opening up some businesses. even potentially within a few weeks but it's all going to be based on risk strai stratifying. jillian: let's listen to what dr. fauci had to say on his expected numbers as something not out of the realm of possibility. listen to this and i'm sewer just what you have to -- and i'm curious what you have to say. >> when the models come in, they give a worst case scenario and best case scenario. generally, the reality is somewhere in the middle. i would say between 100 and 200,000 deaths. we're going to have millions of cases. jillian: when he speaks, the world listens and when you hear the potential of 100,000 deaths, that's alarming. what do you make of what he had to say there? >> we have to remember that dr. fauci is not speaking in rhetoric and everything he says is based on truth and facts and he's looking at the models and
1:16 am
these models, the epidemiological modeling that he's working at, the worst case scenario doesn't take into effect the social distancing measures and the fact that we'll have more hospital beds, et cetera. the worst case scenario does show it could be over millions of american that's actually die. however, we have to remember that these models are not necessarily accurate. they don't have an accurate picture of everyone that has the viral infection because these are only based on confirmed cases right now and as we know there are probably a lot of people who have the infection who haven't been tested so the mortality rate or not the mortality rate but the case fatality rate is overestimated. it's good to look at the models. you have to take into account that these aren't necessarily accurate. i do think that the 100 to 200,000 deaths is not completely out of the realm of possibility. we're already seeing more and more deaths every day and right
1:17 am
now because people are so sick with this virus for several weeks, that's why we're seeing so many deaths happening because we had a large amount of infection a couple weeks ago and this is about the time that those people who are going to die will die. i believe everyone is doing what they need to do. they're getting more respirators, trying to get more ppe for health care workers and we're trialing medications and the vaccine is still underway. so we're doing everything from that standpoint to keep people alive. but the only way that we're really going to save lives right now is to continue to mitigate spread of disease and not have new infections coming in. rob: talking about ppe and vesting, abbott labs coming out with a rapid response covid-19 test, you can get the answer to your question really quick. there's an ohio company with a reusable ppe, the stuff you can i guess disinfect and reuse it again. how important are these two stories? >> well, listen, it's all hands
1:18 am
on deck right now. we're going to take anything we can get. the abbott emergency use from the fda was huge for us because the rapid testing is absolutely what we need because when people test positive they have to put in isolation precautions, meaning they need to be in constant ppe and as well as everybody who tends to them. if we can identify the people who are positive, we can quickly isolate them, contact their recent contacts and get them to self quarantine as well. it's extremely helpful and i'm very excited for abbott's new device and also sanitization of the masks, you know, it gets a little frustrating when you hear people talk about well, where are the masks going, are they being hoarded, are they being stolen. let me tell you something, you are not supposed to wear a mask all day for one shift. that's happening right now in an effort to save them. you're supposed to put on a mask, see a patient, throw it away. that is proper precautions. the fact that we'll be able to san nice masks is amaze --
1:19 am
sanitize the masks, it's amazing. when you wear a dirty mask, the health care worker is at the chance of being infected. rob: thank you very much. we appreciate it. 18 minutes after the hour now. one mother documented her battle and her victory over covid-19 for two weeks. >> you are looking at a covid-19 survivor right here and i hope that brings you some hope. jillian: now she wants to connect with other survivors to help doctors find a way to beat the virus. she joins us live to share her story. [ "one more time" by daft punk ]
1:22 am
1:23 am
recovered. you are looking at a covid-19 survivor right here. and i hope that brings you some hope. rob: this is something else. a long island mother who documented her recovery from covid-19 made it her mission to connect other survivors with researchers in hopes of defeating this virus. and now she's actively participating in some of that vital research. jillian: diana baron joins us live with her story and her new role in battling the invisible enemy. thank you for being here. i'm so glad to hear you recovered and you're doing well and now you're on a mission to help people and that includes two studies you're beginning. tell us about them. >> so i am -- first of all, i'd like to say thanks for having me on and showing the face of what a covid-19 survivor looks like. so maybe that will give some hope to some people who are out there, struggling through it at home right now. during that time, when i realized that i was one of the first people in my area to be diagnosed with covid-19, i also
1:24 am
realized i was going to be one of the first survivors and with that came a tremendous responsibility and an opportunity and so what i did is create -- i created a group called survivor core and it's a grass roots effort that right now is a public page on facebook, a public group that anyone can join, but will ultimately be an opt-in database of survivors to connect them with research institution whose need to use survivors to study this virus and come up with a cure, with more definitive information about how long you shed the virus, all of the information that we're lacking right now we have in our blood, in our plasma, we have the answers. but we need to create an efficient system to connect survivors with researchers so that's what i have created and i plan on being one of the first participants in a couple of these studies. it's very exciting. rob: you guys have a lot of people following you on your page. it's a great place to kind of link up all these survivors.
1:25 am
we keep hearing about plasma of people who have gotten through the virus and come out okay on the other side. what is it that's so special about your blood and your plasma? >> so i was one of the lucky people. my body naturally created the antibodies to fight off the virus within my system. so i now have the antibodies in my plasma, in my blood, and if i have a high enough count of antibodies, that can be extracted and transferred to somebody who is very sick and dying in the hospital and it could save their lives and so there's really no time to lose on this. and so we really need to make it efficient and expedite the process because lives are on the line. jillian: let's take a look at some of the numbers. in new york coronavirus cases and deaths, nearing 60,000 cases and nearing 1,000 deaths, we're at 965 right now. there have been 4,856 american whose have recovered from covid-19, that number very important to keep reminding people and then the two studies
1:26 am
you're a part of, columbia and mount sinai, let's take a look at the statement on plasma treatment, they say it's difficult to know how valuable it is in any disease until you try it. it's not exactly a shot in the dark but it's not tried and true. the idea is to get the right patients at the right time. diana, that sounds like it is exactly you, the right patient at the right time. before we let you go because we're running out of time, what is your message to everyone out there who is watching. >> right now, you just need to act as if you're already infected and every single person you infect is either your best friend or your grandmother. so stay home. stay safe. join survivor core. and be a superhero. save lives. rob: all right, diana, you're looking good. >> i feel good. rob: we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. jillian: so happy to see that. the white house and cdc issuing a travel advisory for new york, new jersey and connecticut. >> the concept of quarantine was thrown out to me and i thought
1:27 am
it was too much to do. we did an advisory. it's a strong advisory. rob: so it's an advisory. who will enforce this and how? new york state senator george amador junior joins us live with what his state is already doing. stay tuned. when we face adversity, we find a way through it. it's about taking care of each other. it's the small parts that make a big difference. at chevy, we promise to do ours. we're offering chevy owners complimentary onstar crisis assist services and wifi data. if you need a new chevy, interest-free financing for 84 months - with deferred payments for 120 days on many of our most popular models. you may even shop online and take delivery at home. it's just our way of doing our part...
1:30 am
jillian: we're back with a fox news alert. an urgent warning from white house experts, the u.s. could see more than 1 million covid-19 cases and possibly 100,000 deaths. dr. anthony fauci making clear it's not a certainity we'll see the numbers but says the u.s. must remain vigilant. >> i think it's entirely conceivable that if we do not mitigate the extent that we're trying to do, that you could reach that number. you could make a big sound bite about it but the fact is, it's possible. rob: the white house says it will be about two weeks before the number of cases hits their
1:31 am
peak. there are more than 143,000 cases in the u.s. right now, more than 2500 people have died. a cruise ship carrying the bodies of four passengers who died from coronavirus will head to fort lauderdale after days of being stranded at sea. the holland america cruise was just granted permission to travel through the panama canal and then up to florida. more than 130 passengers on-board have shown flu-like symptoms. at least two have tested positive for covid-19. healthy passengers were transported to a second cruise ship on saturday. both of those ships will dock in fort lauderdale. jillian: 61 tsa screening officers have tested positive for covid-19 in the past two weeks. 22 non-screening employees are also sick with coronavirus. the tsa posted a list online indicating where the sick workers were posted before they were diagnosed. passengers who might have been in contact with any of those agents are being asked to reach out to their doctors. rob: a new threat on the front
1:32 am
lines, first responders learning new safety protocol as coronavirus rapidly spreads from coast to coast. jillian: as more officers report getting sick, the virus is substantially thinning the ranks of departments nationwide. we have the latest on that. jackie. >> reporter: law enforcement agencies across the country are seeing massive spikes in first responders testing positive for covid-19. here in new york city, the nypd lost three members in 48 hours. detective cedric dickson is the first uniformed officer to die from the virus. he was a 31 year veteran of the department. dennis dickson, a custodian at police headquarters also passed away. the new york fire department also lost a member. he was an auto mechanic for fdny since 2014. he leaves behind a wife and dover. despite the -- daughter. despite the latest protective
1:33 am
measures to keep officers safe, the number of confirmed cases is spiking in the tri-state area. in new jersey, nearly 700 officers tested positive for coronavirus in all 21 counties and in new york almost 13% of the department is out sick this morning, more than 730 uniformed officers tested positive for the virus. the commissioner expects that number to keep growing. >> we're closing in on 5,000 members currently out sick. and we have i would anticipate close to 900 test positive tore covid. >> reporter: wow. departments around the country are doing whatever they can to keep our heroes safe including supplying protective gear and face masks. employees are asked to work from home if at all possible. the good news, several officers who tested positive for covid-19 weeks ago have gotten better and as their two week quarantine period ends they will be able to return to work this week.
quote
1:34 am
rob, jillian, those numbers are staggering. rob: they certainly are. thank you so much. jillian: the cdc issues a tri-state travel advisory for the new york area to slow the spread of covid-19 after president trump says a mandatory quarantine is not necessary. >> the concept of quarantine was thrown out to me really would love to do it, they would love to do it and i thought it was too much to do. we did an advisory. it's a strong advisory. the governors are running the advisory, the three governors, new york, new jersey, connecticut and i think we did a great thing. jillian: new york govern for andrew cuomo criticized president trump for even considering it which begs the question, who enforces the advisory and how? rob: here to answer that question, new york state senator george amedore junior. thank you for coming on today. so how is this enforced? >> well, good morning and jillian, rob, thanks for having me and you know, it's enforced through as the president had
1:35 am
mentioned through the issuance of this advisory, through the governors. it's very difficult right now to really for these states to use their resources to enforce such curfew if one was mandatory throughout the states of new york, new jersey and connecticut. our resources are running thin, as you can hear in other news reports about the pandemic that is our law enforcement agencies and our first responder as well as our care workers, really need to do everything they can to be safe but to also help those who are sick. so i think the cdc, the professional experts got it right by not requiring such a strict mandate of not moving around or a travel ban but using the advisories that new york has already implemented many of these points and guidelines that we have here. jillian: is anything going to happen to people if they don't
1:36 am
follow these advisories? >> well, i think that people need to be responsible and it's no question that to mitigate the spread of covid-19, it's all about people being involved and being engaged in this and having social distancing. we have what's called new york on pause, which is a 10 point plan or policy that was extended yesterday to april 15th and that talked about nonessential travel, nonessential workers staying home to work for the jobs and social distancing. it gives everyone the opportunity and the responsibility to do what is right. if we're going to get ahead of this thing, we need to be smart. we need to make sure we do everything we can because no question, we can fight this but we have to fight it together and it's a lot of personal responsibility that needs to be put into this and by limiting the amount of social distancing,
1:37 am
we can flatten that curve and i think we can get back on the road to recovery. rob: it's critically important you're right about that. new york, new jersey and connecticut, new york, look at the cases, almost 60,000 at this point. we go to one more piece of information here, the states that have a mandatory 14 day quarantine for anybody that comes from the tri-state area, you've got five states there, florida's governor ron de santis really been tough about new yorkers coming to florida. can you understand his position and do you think that we're going far enough with this or does there need to be something mandatory like a quarantine? >> well, i think everyone needs to understand the severeity of this and when they do travel, if they have to travel, that they should be quarantined. if you're coming out of these states that have hot spots and there's no question that new york has hot spots and parts of new york state have it, they should be responsible and they should quarantine themselves no matter where they go. again, nonessential travel and i
1:38 am
know that the holiday season and the religious observance will be coming fastly upon us and people do have plans and it is frustrating. but people do need to adhere to the experts here in cdc and the state governments to follow the plans that they have implemented in these guidelines. jillian: thank you so much, senator. we appreciate your time. >> thank you for having me. jillian: it is 38 minutes after the hour. life at the epicenter of theout. heather:theoutbreak slowly getto normal, as residents return to the subway and markets, we're live with the signs of improvement in wuhan, china. rob: as allergy season approaches, what do we need to be mindful of during the pandemic. dr. sa saphier will help answer that question when she joins us live.
1:42 am
daily life, the u.s. is reaffirming its commitment to european allies fighting covid-19. jillian: we have a live report from jerusalem as restrictions cause unrest in the middle east. >> reporter: good morning. across the eastern hemisphere, coronavirus numbers do continue to rise though in china where the outbreak first began things are getting a bit better. in the city of wuhan, long service trains and subways started operating again this week. requiring passengers to wear protective masks and had to have their temperatures taken before boarding. new images show people in the streets, shopping. in hubei, flights have resumed with nearly 100 taking off from the main airport in the province. the rest of the world is hoping china is a model of what life could look like in the near future. many traditions such as weddings and funerals call for large
1:43 am
processions of people outside, avoiding social distancing. israelis are allowed to go up to 300 feet outside their homes for a short period of time. the lockdown order comes from the government of benjamin netanyahu. benny gantz is expected to become the defense minister. palestinians in the west bank went into lockdown overnight. they are reporting 97 positive cases and the gaza strip is reporting nine. they are receiving aid from china and have added 51 additional doctors to help with treatment. in europe, italian hospitals are overwhelmed. both italian and spanish authorities say death tolls are starting to trend downward. president trump recommitted u.s. support to european allies when speaking in the rose garden yesterday. take a listen. >> we are helping italy a lot. we're working closely with italy and we're working closely with spain too which is really hit hard. we're working with everybody. i spoke with angela merkel the
1:44 am
other day. germany's hit hard. >> reporter: there's news breaking here in israel. benjamin netanyahu may have to go into isolation after one of his consultants tested positive for coronavirus. there are recommendations from the israeli health ministry that the prime minister may have to follow if his team decides he came in close enough contact with this infected person. rob, jillian. rob: thank you so much. jillian: still weeks away from an expected covid-19 peak, the u.s. is climbing closer to 150,000 cases. and as the administration doubles down on social distancing, new questions are coming to light. rob: fox news medical contributor dr. niko sapphire -- nicole saphier is back live with some answers to questions. what's the deal with high dose vitamin c helping to ward off coronavirus. we've seen the story pop up lately. >> sure.
1:45 am
that's because, well, just to put it in perspective, there has been mixed evidence over the decades of whether or not vitamin c does help us fend off common colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses during the winter months and the truth is, the over-the-counter stuff that people tend to buy haven't been necessarily proven effective. the best way to get vitamin c is in the normal diet. high doses of vitamin c coupled with thiamine have shown decreased mortality rates when given to people who have sepsis, and some of the people who are ill with covid-19 are suffering from sepsis. so anecdotal studies coming out of china are showing that people who receive high doses of intravenous vitamin c while in the icu have a statistically significant decreased risk of dying from the infection. jillian: katie asks to mask or not to mask, dr. saphier, i know you get the question a lot.
1:46 am
first we were told masks won't work, now homemade masks are capable of warding off the coronavirus. first of all, are homemade masks capable of warding off the virus and should people be wearing them? >> the reason in the beginning that we said that people should not be wearing masks unless they were symptomatic was because we didn't want to happen what is happening now where we have a shortage of masks for health care workers. the only proven effective mask to decrease tran transmission oe particles are the n95 or respiratory masks. because the virus are in the respiratory droplets, if you were to having covering your face it would decrease the transmission of the large respiratory droplets. does it bring the risk to zero? absolutely not. at this point if we are social distancing, if you want a makeshift mask with multiple layers, you decrease the risk of infection. having one layer over your face
1:47 am
isn't doing much. when people make masks, they have a false sense of security, they tend to do things they wouldn't do normally. the best way to ward off infection at this point is just by staying home. rob: what do we need to be mindful of as we enter allergy season during this outbreak, this question from olivia. >> sure. a lot of people are going to be confused and have some concern because of the allergy season which tends to have a cough, just like when you have covid-19 you tend to have a cough. the difference is, covid-19 you also tend to have a fever and the coffees a little bit more dry and can have shortness of breath with it. for people with allergies, you know what it feels like to have allergies. you have allergies every year. take the clues from your body. try to avoid outside during the afternoon or early evening when pollen tends to be the highest, make sure any time you go outside you come back inside, you shower, you wash out the
1:48 am
pollen and just remember, take cues from your body. you know what it feels like to have allergies during the season. jillian: dr. nicole saphier thank you for joining us as always. good advice. >> thanks, guys. jillian: follow "fox & friends first" on social media and send more questions on covid-19 that you want answered and we will get them to our team of doctors throughout the morning. we're coming right back. you doing okay?
