for the queen. her son and heir to the throne, prince charles tested positive, so did boris johnson. it's hoped that she can rally the country together to get through the difficult period ahead. arthel. arthel: in fact, we're going to head over to windsor castle right now for the queen's address. let's listen in. >> i'm speaking to you at what i know is an increasingly challenging time, a time of disruption in the life of our country, a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all. i want to thank everyone on the nhs frontlines, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles who selflessly

continue their day-to-day duties outside the home, in support of us all. i'm sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times. i also want to thank those of you who are staying at home. thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. together, we are tackling this disease and i want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it. i hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. and those who come after us will say the britains of this

generation were as strong as any. the a attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good humored resolve and a fellow feeling still car characterize s country. the pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our presents and our future. [ cheering and applause ] >> the moments when the united kingdom has come together to applaud its essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit. and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children. across the commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others. be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbors, or converting

businesses to help the relief effort. and though self isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths and of none are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect in prayer or meditation. it reminds me of the very first broadcast i made in 1940. we as children spoke from here at windsor, th to children who d been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. but now as then, we know deep down that it is the right thing to do. while we have faced challenges before, this one is different. this time we join with all

nations across the globe in a common endeavor, using the great advances of science and ou our t to heal. we will succeed and that success will belong to everyone of us. while we may have more still to endure, better days will return. we will be with our friends again. we will be with our families again. we will meet again. but for now, i send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all. eric: we just heard encouraging and inspiring words from her majesty, queen elizabeth, echoing history and previous threats that her nation and the world has faced. we will succeed, she says. there are better days ahead.

they will return and that they will. for reaction to what we just heard, let's go to file gardner in washington, d.c. she echoed that 1940 speech from windsor castle, the same place when london faced the blitz. she is 94 years old. the monarchy holds a special place in the hearts of so many. what does it mean for her to have said this and addressed her people? >> reporter: eric, i think this is a historic address to the british people by the queen. she is a tremendous leader. she has led the british people now for 68 years. she has guided 14 british prime ministers. she is someone of immense grace, of tremendous leadership ability, someone who inspires the british nation. i thought today she gave a very moving address which truly will not only inspire i think the 65 million british people but also people across the

commonwealth, over 50 nations, also here in the united states, millions of americans as well have been watching the queen's address. and i think this is a historic moment here with the queen addressing not only the british people, but also the world as well and she is a leader of tremendous optimism, of tremendous faith and she is calling on the british people, also the world really to unite together to face one of the greatest crises that we have faced in modern time and i think this was a stirring powerful address by the queen and a great moment as well in british history. eric: she offered optimism that we will get through this, that better days will return. she thanked the emergency workers and health workers as well as the national health service there that's been under such strain, the entire commonwealth basically on lockdown. it kind of reminds me --

remember the king's speech, 139, king george, sitting by the radio. it really is a chance not just for her subjects but for us here in the united states as you pointed out to rally against this, to stay home, to remember why we are staying home, to try to protect ourselves and each other. when in fact her own son has had coronavirus and thankfully recovered. and she is 93 years old and her husband older. >> yes, absolutely. i think that the queen is extremely resolute in her determination to stand up for her nation. and i think that above all, this was a speech with an extremely hopeful message. the queen lived through the blitz of world war ii when german bombers bombed london for several years. she lived through that. she understands the tremendous hardships the british people have faced in the past.

and also of course i think she is a monarch with a tremendous belief as well in the special relationship and the bonds that unite the united kingdom and the united states. and i think she has a deep love for the united states, for the american people, and she has always believed i think in her heart that the international relationship is the beating heart of the free world. this was an address for britain and also for the american people to cherish as well. i think she really embodies the spirit of tremendous optimism, this can-do fighting spirit that is there in britain at this time and it's the same spirit that exists here on this side of the atlantic as well in the united states. eric: you know, you point out she is a living touch tone to history, to britain and the united states facing the nazi menace who stood up against that. now we face this menace.

boris johnson himself has coronavirus, he's barricaded inside 10 downing street we're told. they put furniture by his door. he's come under some criticism for not doing enough, fast enough. the national health service we hear about strained, may not be able to deal with all of this. so finally, nile, your thoughts on the prime minister. we certainly hope the best wishes for him that he gets better. what is england in for? what are the british people in for? and what lessons can we take here in america from them? >> you know, i think the british have approached this crisis with a spirit of a warroir nation that is not going to be defeated. i think boris johnson in many respects embodies that. even though he has the coronavirus, he's still working away behind the scenes in downing street, by video conferencing, he continues to

inspire the british people. i think that british leadership is very powerful at this time and we need to have a strong person on the world stage, also the brexit era as well. britain's just left the european union. i think that britain will be a shining beacon of liberty and hope i think across the world. and so this is an important time for the boris johnson, i think he's making a swift recovery. and we wish him all the best. but i think the british people above all have that kind of tremendous warrior nation spirit that the american people have as well and the united kingdom and united states i think will continue to lead. the u.s./u.k. alliance will continue to be the most powerful partnership in the world and together of course we will defeat the virus and continue to lead on the world stage. eric: we have been partners, we will continue to be partners, we

faced a threat under winston churchill, one that her majesty lived through and addressed in her speech, saying this generation will face the same threats and live up to the same resolve and determination that previous generations did back in world war ii. nile gardner, thank you for your thoughts. we wish the very best for the prime minister and the british people and prince charles and the queen. thank you, nile, good to see you. >> thank you very much. arthel: eric, and that the u.s. surgeon general, dr. jerome adams, warning that we as a country we're about to face tragedy, he compares to pearl pl harbor and 9/11. as cases of coronavirus continue to swell here in the u.s., we will speak to a doctor who worked for a previous president about what we can expect in the coming days.

eric: president trump warning that this probably will be the darkest week in our country for the coronavirus crisis so far. the president yesterday saying, quote, there will be a lot of

death. his comments coming as the virus is rapidly spreading in our country. governors call on the administration to fully nationalize the response, they cite the continued lack of ventilators and medical equipment. mark meredith is live on the north lawn of the white house with the very latest on the federal government response. hi, mark. >> reporter: eric, good afternoon. the white house is not holding a virus briefing today but for nearly two hours yesterday we heard the president and his advisors give the same ominous warning about what the week ahead is going to be like. we also heard from many of the officials about whether or not there should be a national lockdown. the white house says they don't see a need for that, the governors should decide that. we heard from the surgeon general earlier today. he defended the president's strategy. >> the governors are intensely protective of their right and rightly so, to be able to decide what's best for their state and we're going to do everything we can as scientists and as physicians, as medical professionals to help them

understand what we think the right thing is for them to do. >> reporter: the white house is also facing a lot of questions about what the economy is going to look like going forward. we got the jobs report back on friday. of course, so many millions of americans are stuck at home, unable to work right now. the unemployment rate jumping to 4.4% in march but pretty much everyone believes that number is a whole lot higher than that. the president talked about the small business loan program that launched on friday where businesses can get help to make sure people still are on payroll. the president said that more money may be needed for that program. this what is he had to say during his briefing on saturday. >> well, i think we're going to need more money for the small businesses. it's been working out so well. it's been so efficient, the banks have been doing an incredible job. i think we're going to need more money there. i think. based on the first couple of days, it's been incredible. >> reporter: lawmakers are not expected to get back to washington until later this month at the earliest. that could change. there's already a discussion of what the next potential stimulus

bill may look like. house speaker nancy pelosi says americans they need more money. she wrote, cares two must go further in assisting small businesses including farmers, extending and strengthening unemployment benefits an giving families additional direct payments. direct payments are expected to go out in the next two weeks, direct b deposit for those that qualify. the speaker believes more financial assistance may be needed because so many people are out of work right now. eric. eric: and more expected. mark, thank you. arthel. arthel: eric, thank you. we are just getting multiple reports that the now fired captain of the uss theodore roosevelt has reportedly tested positive for coronavirus. captain kroziay was fired after he wrote a letter outlining his concerns of covid-19 spreading on the navy ship and what he labeled as a navy's failure to

properly address the matter. according to last reports, 19 of those sailors an on-board testd positive for covid-19, with at least one sailor in the hospital. again, the now fired captain of the uss theodore roosevelt has reportedly tested positive with coronavirus. meanwhile, hospitals in the nation's epicenter of the pandemic continue climbing the uphill battle against the virus as new york governor cuomo says the apex is now just days away. medical supplies are running low and there is no clear data on how many health care workers themselves have contracted if disease. aishah hasnie is live in new york with the latest. aishah. >> reporter: arthel, the number of cases in new york is about to outpace the number of cases in italy. and now we're seeing how those numbers are impacting new york's hospitals. let's take a look at some video right now from the washington

post. it shows a frightening look inside of the medical center in brooklyn. the post reporting 80% of the 600 patients there are covid-19 positive. that's a patient in every single bed in the icu and nearly all of the 25 surgical icu beds with the hospital now trying to find room to increase capacity because there's a backlog of patients. the staff is afraid, calling the hospital a battlefield. >> you have a lot of deaths, you have a lot of people who are in the extremes of age who are getting sick. now is not the time to be-to allow ourselves to become overwhelmed or to allow ourselves to become emotionally distraught. >> reporter: new york continues to top the list of cases in the nation. it's at 114,000 now. new jersey follows with 34,000. and michigan is being slammed

hard, rounding out the top three now with more than 14,000 cases. michigan governor gretchen whitmer today on fox news sunday echoed that sentiment we heard from other governors about how the lack of a uniform national strategy is creating a problem for her state and the country. >> not having a national strategy where there is one policy for the country as opposed to a patchwork based on whomever the governor is is something that i think is creating a more pourous situation where covid-19 will go longer and more people get sick and sadly more lives may get lost. >> reporter: a crucial part of the puzzle that's missing here is that there is no national count of the number of health care workers who tested positive. that data is crucial because it would help experts who are tracking how this virus is going to hit the nation's health care system, to track it more precisely. right now, it appears that the models that we're seeing are

based on those health care workers staying healthy and of course we know that that is not the reality right now. arthel. arthel: aishah hasnie, thank you very much for that report. we need to you stay at home. this is going to be a hard week, it's going to test our resolve, it's going to be the hardest week of our lives. i'm confident based on the numbers in washington, call importancalifornia, italy and se can get through this. i know the american people will do the right thing and stay at home. eric: we're entering the crucial phase in the next several weeks, the number of deaths as we have been reporting to you increasing and intensifying and some states won't even see their peak until the end of the month. joining us to talk more about this via skype, the president and senior fellow at the institute for health care improvement and former centers for medicare and medicaid

services administration, dr. donald burrwick. thank you for being here. you know n the darkness there's still hope. in new york state, governor cuomo said the number of deaths are down from yesterday. not much from 630 to 594. and the number of hospitalizations are down. do you think this is a momentary blip or do you think we potentially are at the beginning of flattening the curve here in new york, that could eventually happen across the country? >> thanks for having me, eric. i fear we still have peaks ahead as your colleague was saying earlier, new jersey, michigan, new york, my own state, massachusetts, i think the peak may still be ahead of us in the next week or two. and then this isn't going to peak in synchrony all over the country. there are other areas of the country that will see their own peaks later on, i fear what's going to happen in the southeast, loys y luce ya narks florida. there -- louisiana, florida.

there will be rolling peaks for quite a while now. what's going on in new york is particularly tragic and overwhelming and maybe we won't see another municipality as hard as that but it's not going to be pretty for the next few weeks, for sure. eric: certainly, we hope not. we've heard a lot about the lack of a national strategy. we've heard the democratic governors saying the trump administration should have a national strategy, that the president should have started the defense production act for a lot more, sooner. you served in the obama administration. what should the trump administration do now? that they are not doing? >> well, there's plenty of time for monday morning quarterbacking later on. this is a time when we need absolutely clear, cogent, concerted national leadership, clear communication. we definitely need a national strategy and most governors are calling for that now. i really wish this administration would step forward with a strategy that gives the american people a

single consistent message. right now, it is stay home, use social distancing. we've got to have a national strategy for rapid development at the point of diagnostic tests still. we are hopefully in the year ahead are going to be developing a vaccine and treatments but that's got to also be coordinated nationally. we need a stronger national hand right now. that's what's worked. we've seen it in germany, hong kong and singapore. when governments step up with a concerted national plan it has saved lines and we should -- lives and we should be doing that. eric: the fda over the weekend cleared -- the cdc cleared tests but what do think they're doing right? >> there are pieces that are going okay. we're beginning not by any means enough, we need to liberalize access to health care insurance. we've had damage to medicaid in the past few years. imagine what it's like to lose your job from the coronavirus. we need more of that. i think the cdc has stepped up. they're an international leader and we need to honor the

science. the science communities have come together. i have to tip my hat to the health care workforce. what's going on is a-- amazing, the physicians, nurses, risking their lives. it's the janitors, the cleaning people, the housekeepers and those who are in those -- serving us in the necessary infrastructure we have. who do you think is keeping the lek electricity on in our -- electricity on in our homes or giving us groceries today. they're all heros. eric: we're seeing a tremendous -- we're seeing a tremendous inspirational response. finally, quickly, for some optimism, you can get through this. it's been said that 80% of the cases resolve themselves. about two-thirds of the hospitalizations have recovered. let me show you statistics from john hopkins. 321,000 plus infected, 15,000 people have -- 16,000 have recovered.

more than 16,000 in our country and the cdc says if you have no fever for 72 hours, and don't cheat with advil or tylenol, if your symptoms improve with no cough and it's seven days since you started the symptoms and if you get tested, have you two negative tests in a row, you're fine. your thoughts that we will get through this, that people do recover and many will recover. >> absolutely, yes. and other two good points is we're going to learn as we go. we learn a ton every day, science is producing new information about this december ease. we need to stay open to and embrace the science. the other thing is international examples. hong kong and singapore, they've been able to really protect their health care workforce. we can learn from them. we are learning from them. there's an international growth of knowledge that's going to serve us well and we will get through it. eric: yes, certainly hope so and we will get back to normal. remember the normal times?

seems like so long ago. doctor, thank you for your advice and we will get through this. for those of you who are watching, take a moment, i'm coming to you from manhattan. we talked about new york city. sadly, it could be a harbinger of what you could face where you live in the coming weeks. we have learned in new york to stay home. please, don't visit friends or family. don't have them come over for a while. this will take a while. when we look out at empty streets, we may have a shot of that, it's almost like a murderer is on the loose. if there was one on the loose in your neighborhood, what would you do? you would stay inside until the danger is over. it will be over. if you are saying i'm alarmist and over-dramatic, just walk one minute, two blocks from where i'm sitting right now and there's a refrigerator tractor-trailer truck parked behind a hospital.

i saw it pull up behind the hospital. that tractor-trailer truck is waiting for the dead. people from that hospital. there are so many suffering. it is personal. it is crushing. personal, family tragedies, we don't want it to happen to you. stay home. tell your teenagers to stay home. play video games. whatever. just for now and please listen to authorities and medical experts. the best we can do for ourselves and our nation, i think, for now. just stay home for a while. arthel: and absolutely, eric. as scientists and medical experts warn of the thrust of the force coming from the coronavirus pandemic, you've got retired nurses and doctors in hot spots, they're being called to join the front lines in the fight against coronavirus. but in other places, medical personnel they're losing their jobs. we're going to explain when twee come back -- when we come back. i use rakuten to get cash back in-store and online.

eric: tens of thousands of retired doctors, nurses and health care professionals are answering the call to return to service after an urgent plea from governors in states with the largest number of coronavirus cases. meanwhile, countless other medical personnel are finding themselves out of work as some hospitals reduced and canceled elective surgeries an procedures. thdan? >> reporter: hi, eric. as you said, governors in the hardest hit states practically begged retired nurses and doctors to come back to work and so far well over 100,000 have answered the call. here in washington state, 6,000 health care retirees have

volunteered to help including dr. matthew keefeer who retired from the veterans administration hospital in seattle in january. one week after his final day he was asked to come back, and he never hesitated. caroline grant took six hours to make the decision to end her retirement. she is 63 years old, suffering from asthma symptoms. her husband has battled cancer twice. now she is running the university of washington's covid-19 testing program. >> everyone rolls up their sleeves, everyone says what can i do. i will certainly say that since i came back to work on march 13th, i have not heard one person say i can't do that. >> reporter: hundreds if not thousands of health care workers have become infected and at least three have died in the u.s. and the situation is much more dire in italy. dozens of doctors and nurses

died working at one hospital alone. dr. irwin redletter who runs the national center for disaster preparedness told me this week, quote, it is ill advised to ask retired health care professionals to work in hospitals while we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic. he says the risks are just too high. and yet 85,000 retirees are back on the front lines in new york including 22,000 volunteers from other states. but ey ironically at the same te thousands of health care workers are getting laid off. those people work in nonurgent care and that has all but stopped during the pandemic, technicians, physicians assistance, orthopedic specialists have almost no work these days. in minnesota almost 14,000 health care workers filed for unemployment in march alone. hospitals can make payroll in rural washington. some emergency room doctors and nurses are forced to take a pay cut because the staffing companies they work for are losing money on the elective care. it's a tough time to be in

health care and it's a tough time to stay out of health care if you're a retiree. and they need your skills. eric. eric: dan, so inspiring for doing what they do. thank you. arthel. arthel:.>> what day do you ante you will run out of ventilators and people will not be able to get them if they need them to live? >> well, the current date based on modeling is the ninth of april. and then the bed capacity would be exceeded on about the 11th of april and so we hope we can continue a downward trend on the rate of transmission of new cases. that buys us a little more time. arthel: that was jake tapper with louisiana governor john bell edwards, warning hospitals in his state, my home state, that they are just days away

from running out of life-saving ventilators and sick beds. as some of the hardest hit hot spots brace for what could be the worst week in the timeline of the pandemic. let's bring in dr. bose, emergency physician and medical director at odessa fire and rescue, in texas. he is also chief medical officer at live clinic dot-com and an iraq war veteran. dr. bose, thank you for being with us. i want to start by asking you how are you and your fellow er docs bracing for the sue you thatsunami anddo you have the eu need for the battle. >> thank you for having me. we're doing the best we can right now. i'm in the emergency room, practicing, but i'm also involved with an excellent team at the eoc which is the emergency operations center. and imagine basically it's a room full of different team

members and projectors everywhere, tracking in live time how many ventilators there are, where the sick patients are, et cetera. we're planning this from a city level as well as from the emergency room here where i'm at now. so we're working together as a team very well and doing the best with was we have. arthel: of course you are. of course you are. emergency operation center, eoc. tell us, what is it like in the er these days? >> well, one thing, even before covid hit, is when people come into the er, the one thing i can tell you most of them did not expect to be in the er that day and most people -- you know, you don't really care about gout until you have gout or a loved one has gout or high blood pressure or high cholesterol until you maybe have a heart attack. so i'd like to say to our listeners is we are seeing this in the emergency room and i want

to give kind of less optimistic message, realistic message and optimistic message too. realistically, we're seeing it. we're seeing it in all ages and in the most extreme form this viral particle goes into the lungs, the lungs fill with fluid, and you basically drown in your secretions. it goes to the heart and your heart goes into an abnormal rhythm and that's a problem, it's causing people to die, it's causing people to be on ventilators. that's not good. however, -- arthel: well, that's not -- go ahead. >> the optimistic message is we have the power, our listeners have the power to stop this curve and just take it from someone and my fellow respiratory therapists, nurses, everyone work inning the emergency room, you may not see it so you may not take the message of distancing, it may not register until you see it. let's not make that mistake.

let's trust the people on the front lines and follow the rules. arthel: very well put, doctor. because that's what we keep praising you, we keep thanking you and i'm glad that you're saying great, thank you, but -- you're welcome, but here's what i need from you, here's what we need from you. so i'm glad that you pointed out that the crucial -- how crucial it is for us to stay inside and to maintain the social distancing. so thank you so much for pointing that out and painting a real picture for us. i want to ask you, so you told us about the emergency operation center. you're clearly dedicated. and i don't mean to be condescending because i can't even really amass the amount of emotion behind what i'm saying to you as someone who we really do appreciate as a front-liner. i do ask you, when you do have that occasion to go home, how do you decompress? where do you turn to, so you

have the strength to come back and do what you do every day? >> it's a strange world now. i mean, you're isolated but that doesn't mean you need to socially isolate. right. so physically we want to keep that fix feet and we -- six feet and we may be home alone. you don't need to socially isolate. right now, there's technology where we can connect with each other, there's activities we can do and we can mentally stay strong during this. and that's important. and our team in odessa, texas is really focusing on that. i mean, we're seeing -- imagine you have odessa fire rescue, you have a hospital that covers 38,000 square miles of land at medical center hospitals, meaning like the size of indiana, essentially. and there's a lot of planning that needs to be done. it gets intense. it is important for our listeners to realize that our days may be intense, but

decompression is important. and i'm so grateful to all the respiratory therapists, nurses and all the teams, first responders, the custodians who probably save more lives than anyone by killing germs. this is a team effort right now. arthel: indeed it is. dr. bose thank you so much for taking the time out and i appreciate the positivity that you just shared with us, that we can connect socially which is what we'll try to do, continue to stay in touch that way. thank you so much, sir. >> thank you. arthel: eric. eric: such an important message. thanks, arthel. meanwhile, detroit, motor city emerging as one of the next coronavirus hot spots. it turns out that at one major hospital there you do not have to wear scrubs to help out. we'll have that inspiring story straight ahead as our special coverage continues. wow! that's ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist!

but this, this is the future. the future of communicating of hearing and connecting with life. and this, is eargo. no appointments no waiting no hassles. and they are practically invisible in your ear. now you see it. now you don't. if you have hearing loss now is the time to do something about it. our telecare team is available for hearing checks and consultations at no charge from the comfort of your home. we're here to help.

eric: athletic trainers are jumping into the arena to help provide additional support for the health care workers who are on the front lines of the coronavirus battle. we have more from henry ford hospital in detroit, michigan. >> reporter: it's all hands on deck within the henry ford health system where upwards of 50 athletic trainers are redeployed to help in the fight against covid-19. >> they were very eager to help and it's great that our health care providers and our professionals and health system is supportive of us helping with the covid pandemic. >> reporter: christina heads up athletic training in detroit. she says the trainers are providing covid-19 health screenings. they're assisting in emergency rooms and walk-in clinics. and they're transporting patients to size layings wings

-- isolation wings, ensuring that safety procedures are followed. >> when we see athletic trainers in a traditional setting, college, universities and high schools, taking care of teams and athletes, a lot of people don't realize we are licensed health care providers, direct care to patients. >> reporter: the trainers primarily based in jackson and henry ford hospital in detroit are now working throughout the metro area and henry ford health system has more than 2100 patients test positive for covid-19, nearly 600 are hospitalized. it's all hands on deck and everyone is pitching in, whether they wear scrubs or not. >> it's gotten a little emotional at times when you see signs that people are making or ribbons around the trees. i think everybody plays a role in this, whether a health care provider or general population, it's great to see the community coming together. eric: help is so needed in detroit. there are about 4,000 cases in

that city with 129 deaths. and sadly, like elsewhere, the cases are expected to rise. arthel. arthel: and eric, we have some sad news out of the hudat nation, legendary new orleans saints kicker tom demsey died yesterday due to complications from the coronavirus. his family said he tested positive fo about a week ago ane was also battling alzheimer's disease. in 1970, he set the record for the longest field goal kick in nfl history at 63 yards. that record stood for over 40 years. he also played for the philadelphia eagles, los angeles rams, houston oilers and buffalo bills before retiring in new orleans. tom demsey was 73 years old. i've always loved seeing what's next.

and i'm still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin, i'll go for that. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? sharing my roots. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you.

>> the white house sounding the alarm about this week in the coronavirus, the death toll expected to rise at an alarming rate. currently there are over 325,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in our country and more than 9000 of our fellow americans have perished. all this comes as most of our country is now under a stay-at-home order, nine states are holding out fully in those important directions. this is "america's news hq". thank you for joining us i'm eric shawn.

arthel: i'm arthel neville. doctor jerome adam saying this will be one of the toughest weeks in the life of americans. comparing it to deadly american tragedy like pearl harbor and 9/11. this is the number of coronavirus deaths rising substantially in the past week, that includes new york which is the epicenter of the virus. here is the governor of new york mr. andrew cuomo. >> the coronavirus is truly vicious and effective at what the virus does. it's an effective killer. people who are very vulnerable must stay isolated and protected. arthel: meanwhile fox news has confirmed the now fire captain of the uss theodore roosevelt, britt crozier has tested positive for coronavirus. a source telling the pentagon correspondent, lucas thomaston

that captain crozier was tested on his last day aboard the ship. he was fired after he wrote a letter outlining his concerns of covid-19 spreading of the navy ship and what he labeled the navy's failure to properly address the failure. 19 of the sailor sailors tested positive, with at least one sailor in the hospital. we have fox news team coverage from reaction with the white house in new york city we have reaction there, first we will go to the white house i see steve carrigan is standing by but let's start with you steve. reporter: it has been the worst single day total for deaths in the u.s. since this crisis began. 1344 dead. the chicken has now become a hotspot as well. should get in third place among states for both the number of cases and the number of deaths.

several hotspots now looming over the next couple of days, michigan along with new york and louisiana, they all expect to have a peek death rate of 4 - 8 days. here's what the surgeon general had to say this morning on "fox news sunday". >> this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most americans lives quite frankly. this is going to be the pearl harbor moment, 9/11 moment really louisiana alone had 400 deaths on saturday, things have gotten so bad in louisiana officials are asking for help from the federal government with refrigeration, they still cannot handle the number of bodies receiving from the virus. on finally this palm sunday, number of people opting for a virtual mass or service online, some pastors threatening to pack their churches in a number of governor saying that would be a huge mistake. our thelma back to you. arthel: a huge mistake indeed. steve her again thank you so

much. eric: new york had a dip yesterday in cases and deaths but not to see the deadliest day coming this week. governor cuomo in his address earlier today. meanwhile healthcare workers in new york city are maxed out. new york city mayor bill de blasio warning the number of ventilators will likely run out here this week as the city has seen its largest 24 hour jump yet and coronavirus cases, they are even using veterinary ventilators, the animal hospitals donating ventilators that are used for cats and dogs now being used for men and women, humans, it is that bad. live in the streets of manhattan with the very latest. reporter: let's give you a picture of what is happening here in new york state, the number of cases in the state alone, about to surpass the number of cases in italy. and of course another population in italy is three times the population of new york state.

so you can see how dire of a situation it is here in the state of new york. in video from the washington post really gives a frightening look at what is happening inside new york hospitals, this is the medical center in brooklyn. the post is reporting 80% of the 600 patients there are covid-19 positive. that is a patient in every single bed in the icu and also nearly all of the 25 surgical icu beds with the hospital now trying to find room to increase the capacity because they have a backlog of patients waiting for those beds. u.s. northern command announced today that it is deploying 1000 air ports and medical providers to new york city in the next three days. governor cuomo talked about that in his daily briefing today. >> the immediate priority is to deploy those people to help the new york city public hospitals. the new york city public hospital system h&h was a system

that was under stress to begin with. before any of this. reporter: new york continues to top the list of cases in the nation. the state now at over 122,000 cases which accounts for more than 40% of the country's total. it also is more than germany or france or the uk in new jersey is coming in at second at 34000 cases, michigan also in a lot of trouble, it's in the top through the country would now the more than 14000 cases. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani who got the city through 9/11 was on "sunday morning features" and he was asked why he thinks new york city got hit so bad. >> this is the center of the universe. there is no place in the world that gets more people for more different places, just the un alone assures us that as well as

businesses, finance. if there is going to be a virus that is going to spread, this is the perfect place for it. reporter: some more startling numbers coming in, new york transportation workers are being hit very hard, 22 employees have so far have died from the coronavirus. that is more than the nypd and the fire department combined. and also more than 1000 of these nta employees have tested positive for covid-19. eric: thank you so much. arthel: a sobering reality check from president trump as we enter what could be the toughest week ahead. the president saying things will get worse before they start to get better. until we reach the peak of the covid-19 curve. mark meredith is live on the white house lawn with more reaction.

reporter: good afternoon. we were not expecting to see the president on camera but like so many things a lot can change with a tweet. i want to redo a tweet that came out from the president. he wrote i will be having a white house coronavirus task force meeting in a short while, may or may not do a news conference after the meeting. depended on new information, tocsin meetings today are proving promising but erupt two weeks are coming up. we are waiting to see whether or not we see the president on camera. he did mention the two weeks coming up and that is something that we heard from the president senior advisors including the surgeon general, he spoke to "fox news sunday" chris wallace earlier today. >> this week is going to be all about people staying home to protect their neighbor, people wearing cloth facial coverings affected when public to protect their neighbor. it will be a test of our lives. >> the president on saturday pushed back against the suggestion that there should be a federally ordered national lockdown, several states have

ordered those state specific stay-at-home orders but the president says america's governor should decide what rules work best instead of leaders right here in washington. >> i want the governor to be running things now and then some cases we will supersede. -- i think it depends on the individual state that you are talking about. but they are doing very well in a magnificent job. reporter: on friday the cdc announced it was recommending americans go out in public to cover up their nose and mouth. he talks a little bit about this on friday saying he was not going to do it because of his voluntary and he did not take him send the right message. joe biden is criticizing him over the comments, here is what biden had to say. >> i think it is important to follow the science. listen to the experts. do what they tell you. you may not look how he looks with the mask but the truth of the matter is follow the science.

review the science is a big factor, so many people are looking at right now including what potential treatment may help those people that are infected, the president has his support behind the anti-malaria medication yesterday but the white house is looking to see as they test the plasma from people who have recovered from the virus treating six patients whether or not that would be something that would help people over time with the deadly virus. arthel: mark meredith thank you very much. you can look at the places that are most difficult hit, the detroit, newark, louisiana. they are all on the upside of the curve of mortality. so you know when you get to the peak you come down the other side. >> when will that peak be. >> by the predictions that are in the health data.org, they are predicting in those three hotspots, all of them hitting together in the next 6 - 7 days.

>> that's a grim take on the coronavirus pandemic in our country. predicted to happen some states in the coming week, new york, vermont, michigan, while others later on in a few weeks especially in the south to midwest and they are not expected to hit the highest number of deaths until later on at the end of this month an and some may. joining us now doctor jenness. doctor, people are thinking that 60 social distancing may not be enough. they are proposing a curfew in his city. what are your latest thoughts on this. >> absolutely. they say 6 - 10p at minimum and now the cdc is recommending to where facial covering because of the transmission of this virus from person-to-person. you can be asymptomatic in talking and travel through the

air to another person, there is a concern and were seen a huge burden on the hospitals and hospital staff in healthcare centers because a number of patients is definitely on the rise and dr. birx is right, we are approaching that peak in the next week and is going to be a very difficult challenge and time and it will stretch our resources then in its critical and important that we all here to the guidelines because there is no room for noncompliance and complacency will kill patients and the numbers are going up and is very concerning because i'm not seeing any slowdown anytime soon but anything that we can do to help relieve the burden on the hospital, reduce the numbers and whether it's a lockdown or just a temporary closure in certain areas. it has to be done, we have to take aggressive measures right now because we are seeing the outbreaks in certain parts of the country detroit, louisiana,

and new york city, we had such a horrible weekend this weekend with a number of deaths. whatever it takes to slow down the number of deaths, the number of hospitalizations, the number of incubation's we have to jump on a. eric: i know some people just aren't really listening. they are out in some states, some people actually went to church today on palm sunday in this sort of thing. you have to wonder if you're going to the beach or even keeping 60, what is going through your head. it's a pandemic. here is dr. fauci. >> let's listen to dr. fauci for a moment. >> ditto to everything that dr. birx said but also to emphasize why it is so important to do that, we are looking at three or four really key hotspots that are still going up. that is going to be the answer to the question of where we can start pulling back. if we keep having multiple peaks in different ways, that will make it very difficult. eric: he was referring to a dr.

birx talking about joe going to the grocery store. let me talk about the south, the south is especially vulnerable, young people there and their peaks, folks in texas have another month plus, missouri ma, kentucky may 16, you have states, weeks before they hit the high peak. what can you tell those people right now who think they are exempt and immune because new york state is going through but they are not yet. >> i implore you to please adhere to the guidelines that the government officials, listen and pay attention to what's happening in new york, italy and china, we want to model taiwan and south korea, not these other countries were the numbers of deaths are on the rise. but this virus can affect anyone at any age. i had patients as young as two years old up to 95 years old. no one is immune from this virus and we all have to take

responsibility in helping to prevent the spread of the virus because it is on the rise and receiving a lot more deaths, a lot more illnesses and a lot more ventilations, each one of us complete our role in reducing the spread. it is so important, one person can really play a role, physical distancing is critical, social distancing, not going out shopping. i was stunned on my way home from work yesterday, again, the subway was not empty and there was even someone on the subway coughing without a mask. people walking down the sidewalk as if it was a regular day. so these next two weeks or so important, all of us have to adhere to the guidelines because it could be your mom, it could be grandpa, it can be your next her neighbor that this can affect, this virus can have an impact on and cause hospitalization in each one of us are responsible and should be held accountable for that. we have the power to control this.

it's a matter of adhering to the guidelines of social distancing and handwashing and self isolation. on top of that we definitely need to focus on continuing the testing because i strongly believe we are only testing a small fraction of those who are positive. >> we have had a lot more around the country that we think the habit, we cannot say too often enough. please, if you can, just a home. stay home for a few weeks, you don't want to happen with happening here in our city to happen where you live and you can control it, you have your feet in your hands especially those states that do not have a peak until may, young three or four weeks to get it right, please listen to what we are saying constantly and i hope that you certainly do. thank you so much for your insight. arthel: millions of small business owners now applying for loans to survive the

stay-at-home orders because of the pandemic. there is confusion about who qualifies and whether lenders can handle the wave of applications. accountant is back and he will help us clear up the chaos next. balanced nutrition for strength and energy. whoo-hoo! great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health.

arthel: this is a fox news alert, according to the bbc, the

prime minister divorced johnson has been admitted to the hospital for test. this is happening ten days as mr. johnson is testing positive for coronavirus. british prime minister boris johnson admitted to the hospital for ten days after tested positive. we will get all details on this developing story and bring them to you when we get them. lenders facing challenges navigating the small business the administration. $347 billion loan program. this is new pulling suggests that one in four small businesses are less then two months away from financial collapse, here to help explain the loan program is gene marks. he is a certified public accountant with the marks group. thank you for being here. let's jump right in. i know you have been flooded with questions since our last interview. if you could, what are the most

popular or common questions you have been receiving and give us the answers if you could. >> sure thing, the answer is a longer one, it's a most important one. the biggest question is what are my options of a small business owner. if you are running a small business or a family member or friend running a small business, if you are an independent contractor, if you're a sole proprietor, if you're an individual that has her own business, you have two options. the first you can get a loan from the sba, the current economic injury disaster loans. you get that at sba.gov, it is a loan but a long-term loan, very low interest, 30 years and you can borrow up to $2 million in the sba will advance you money. that is your first option. the second option is the paycheck protection program, it is under the cares act, you do not go to the sba for this, you

must go to a banker. any bank that is fdic insured can provide those loans for you but i recommend you go to an sba member bank because are more familiar with the process. those loans are based on your payroll but you can borrow up to $10 million and what is very important about this is that the government will forgive the loans for up to two months during a period of time based on your payroll, your rent in your utilities so ineffective is free money from the government. so when people ask what options they have, those are the two biggest options, the economic injury disaster loan, sba.gov for the paycheck protection program from any bank or particulate and fda banker. arthel: thank you for pointing all of that out. i understand there are so many steps to be taken it is creating some confusion for a lot of people and if you were asked to sort this out, how can the sba

loan process be simplified. >> first of all if you're applying for the economic disaster loan, those are fairly simple to go through. it's an online application you can fill out. but what you're alluding to is the confusion around the paycheck protection loan and the reason why is because the fda has given guidelines to all the banks but unfortunately the guidelines were not complete and there are a lot of questions around them. your goal to is align yourself with a good banker. you can go to the search engine on the fda website or google for an sba lender near you because if the bankers are getting the first information about it. on the sba website, there is also a sample loan application that you can look at. all bankers are using this loan application so you will know in advance the information that you are going to be asked for like payroll and justification and

other cost. it's just imperative that you work with the banker who can advise you through the process. arthel: after i apply for the loan, how long does it take to get a payout and how do we get that money. >> that the second-biggest question that i get other than what are my options. right now were telling our clients you have to wait probably about 1 - 2 weeks to see the money. the government might tell you different but the banking system in the fda have tons of applications. the fda has about 60000 loans a year end there have been tens of thousands of applications submitted just as we can. so it's overwhelming the system. you have to be a little patient. arthel: that's a lot of applications. >> it's a lot and it's jamming up. arthel: will there be enough money. people want to know, hang on one second so i can get this out.

people are worried, is there enough money to go around. >> right now the fund is at 350 billion. the government is projecting that that fund based on current applications will be gone by the beginning of june. it's going to be imperative in fact on the shoulders of congress and president to approve more money to replenish that fund, were telling our clients, get on your horse now, whether or not you think you might not need the money for month or two, start the application process now because it's first come first serve. arthel: is a clear, are there restrictions on how the people can use the money if they go through the sba loan because what if you say they want to keep the building up in the space up and running and the electricity going and maybe they have enough to do that and not to retain all of their employees, how does that work?

>> the key thing is for the paycheck protection program under the cares act, that's what you get through your banker. the amount of money is based on your payroll, the forgiveness is to be based on the payroll that you paid during an eight week period of time. but the government wants you to rehire your employees, if you let anybody go between for brief 15 and april 26, the expectation is that you will have them rehired by june 30 if you want to get the maximum forgiveness of the loan amount that has been given to you. if you do not rehire ollie your employees, you will still get some forgiveness, you also get some free money but it will be less because their incentives based on the formula to bring everybody back by june 3. there are restrictions, other restrictions, you have to talk to your banker but there's restrictions on the amount of payroll that you pay as well and include in go to your banker make sure you're familiar with

them. arthel: indeed. thank you thank you so much, i am sorry for the delay we are having on each other. you are incredible. thank you so much. >> one final thing if you have questions and you want to send me questions on twitter, i'm at jean marx and i'm happy to answer questions i've been doing all week. arthel: i know you have been. we thank you so much. at jean marx. he is asking for in willing to help. eric: nothing like stepping up. thank you. no one is immune from the coronavirus including the men and women who are tasks to keep in our nation -shaped. a homeland security responding to the outbreak and what it means to our american national security. we'll be right back. for many of our members, being prepared... won't be a new thing. and it won't be their first experience with social distancing.

overcoming challenges is what defines the military community. usaa has been standing with them, for nearly a hundred years. and we'll be here to serve for a hundred more.

eric: this is a fox news alert, we reported a few minutes ago that boris johnson has now been admitted to the hospital, he has symptoms of coronavirus. his office came down said the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms, this ten days after he tested positive. he has been working in his office barricaded inside, they have been putting his meals outside of his door. the office says that the prime minister will undergo test and he is urging the public to stay indoors likewise queen elizabeth address the nation within the last hour or so with the spirit of the british people, she said we will succeed against the virus in the majesty staying better days will return. meanwhile in our country the pentagon is suing guidance on cloth facemasks or covers, for members of the workforce, secretary of defense shows the public that the u.s. military is fully prepared to defend and protect our nation despite this pandemic. this comes as an internal dhs

memo reportedly says nearly 300 employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, thousands of more undergoing a two week sub quarantine, for more on this let's go to katie, the senior national secured correspondent enjoins us via skype. katie, the number one question, does coronavirus pose any real threat to our national security now, is our nation weekend at all because of it or are we still fully prepared. >> there is a very active debate going on inside the pentagon on how to balance the need to maintain what the pentagon has as readiness to fight a potential conflict with a variety of different adversaries in the middle east or in africa to great power competition of potential conflict with china or russia in the future. how do you balance the need to be prepared for that kind of

conflict because you need to keep the fighting force safe and healthy and right now there is a real sense of growing distress within the middle tier across that i'm talking to across the united states. within the pentagon itself, the pentagon has not done enough to put in place health structures that would protect them. this idea that there still being asked to go to work every day and do the job and maintain a certain level of readiness. if you talk to the pentagon leaders, we are striking appropriate balance and able to do both and putting in place and measures that are doing thing like social distancing is much as possible. limiting travel, while still maintaining our ability to fight now and in the future. i think this is an ongoing

balance that the military is going to have to continue trying to strike as the situation changes, as epidemic grows, as we get a better sense of what is the peak looking like and how well this containment and mitigation measures that our country is taking and how well. eric: the military training for example has been suspended. there are some who are concerned that china is trying to take advantage, they have been moving to the east or south china sea but they have economically tried to take advantage of this, russia distributing throughout the world. what do we do or can we do anything about that, look at theater roosevelt, sailors on board who are sick including the former captain, the commander who was fired who now we have confirmed has coronavirus. you have an aircraft carrier taken out of commission at the moment.

how does this affect global tragedy going forward. >> i certainly would not underestimate, how much america's adversaries are going to be paying attention to the rates of illnesses and how well the united states military is able to prevent coronavirus from spreading and i think certainly what you are watching happens with the theater roosevelt is something the adversary particular in the region will be watching very, very carefully. the army, the military broadly is attempting to continue with their planning for training, one thing that i know the army is considering, they are essentially considering how can we take entire units, screening

for coronavirus, test them another healthy and essentially send them out into the field and let them train by themselves for a month in the u.s. secretary of the army is calling right now. so there certainly is planning on going but i think from an intelligence standpoint, this will be a change in the world. justice in the health and services are actively trying to get a sense for what are the real numbers in china, how far did it really spreading china, how far is the potential to spread in north korea even though north korea claiming they don't have any cases. you have to imagine our adversaries at the world services are doing the exact same. eric: were up against -- i wouldn't believe anything north korea says that kim jong-un sa says. we are out there and we are in service, there is this pandemic and we think that their safety. thank you for your insight for

that. arthel: fox news alert as we just reported british prime minister boris johnson has been admitted to the hospital ten days after testing after testing positive for coronavirus. benjamin live in london with more. reporter: the story just break it in the last half-hour. downing street has been very eager in cases that this is precautionary only and is going in to precautionary test of the advice of his doctor. we have seen videos over the last few days while he was in self isolation in which he had not looked terribly well, there was rumors that he was going to extend his isolation but his temperature and fever had remained high and he would been unable to shake the coronavirus as the members of his cabinet have been. we know he just went to the hospital, we don't know which one yet, it's unclear if you will stay the night but suddenly

for a man in his mid-50s, we don't know if he has any underlying health conditions. this is the. after ten days where you would get better or have to receive some hospitalization. downing street released a statement, on the vice of his doctor, the prime minister has tonight been admitted to the hospital for test. this is a precautionary step is the prime minister continues to have persistent symptoms of coronavirus, ten days after testing positive for the virus. for all the incredible hard work and urges the public to continue to follow the government's advice to stay at home, protect you and stay lives, they have been very clear that he's been running the government and will continue keep doing so. just a few hours after the queen gave her speech for unity around the country, now we hire boris johnson in his response to the virus in the crisis heading to the hospital himself.

arthel: we wish the prime minister well. thank you very much and we'll be right back.

arthel: that's a clip from the movie a question of faith, the christian drama will air easter sunday, next sunday on lifetime hoping to bring a message of faith and mercy to millions of americans who will be forced to celebrate the holiday at home. let's bring you angela white, the producer of a question of faith, it is so great to have you, this film is about now, tell us what it's about. >> thank you for having me. it's wonderful to be back with

you, this is about three families who are united in the sense of tragedy and they're all questioning their faith and they realize that maybe god is in control, very similar to what is happening today, so many families are being united with different backgrounds and one thing in common and that is the human element. arthel: absolutely. you have kim fields, richard p jones, great cast, is there a growing market for faith-based films or as a producer in the genre, is it still a struggle? >> it is still a struggle and i hope after the coronavirus pandemic we are in the people will lean towards more faith-based and inspiration and for people to really talk about god or jesus, i'm really hoping and praying that we will open up

doors because people need something like this especially in times of today. arthel: you are right, in a question of faith, tragedy links three families together, the coronavirus pandemic has linked the universal family so as a woman of faith, how do you think light will look on the other side of these dark days. >> i am hoping that people will be more forgiving, people will look at their human neighbor as like you are just like me, sometimes we don't even put a personality or person on situations, i think people will be more sympathetic of people, we are all going through issues of finance and health or know somebody who this pandemic has touched. we are really hoping that people will look at each other as their

friend and not their enemy. arthel: the only race that counts is the human race. >> absolutely, i think we lost that as some point, if there is any silverlining in the whole entire situation that people are becoming a lot more kinder. you look at all the heroes going around the world helping others, i love it, really hope people get a chance to see the film and see it in a different sense of where people are going to despair and sorrow and grief and they still unite at the end. arthel: listen, i saw the film for the first time and i watch it again because i'm sure this time considering what we are experiencing in our lives right now we will see different messages in different takeaways from the film, it is called a question of faith, angela white is a producer, a question of faith airs on lifetime at
