hear that today, thank you so much, take care. thank you for joining us everybody, i'm dana perino, don't forget story time is at 3:30 p.m. eastern today, live on foxnews.com, facebook, and youtube. it will be available on demand on fox nation. i will see you there and i will see you on "the five." here's bill hemmer. >> bill: dana, thank you, i'm bill hemmer, i hope you had a peaceful easter weekend, back at it now, breaking last hour, several governors announcing a plan at getting things back to business asap, they say, as the curve in new york continues to flatten. all right, here we go, a month after new york first death from a virus. the governor says it has now killed more than 10,000 people in the state, but he also says the daily death toll has now dipped below 700, the first in more than a week. governor cuomo, and the heads of five other nearby states saying coordination is key not. >> what the art form is going to be here is doing that smartly and doing that productively and doing that in a coordinated way.

>> bill: so then david lee miller back live outside mount sinai hospital in new york's upper east side begins our hour here. david lee, good afternoon. >> good afternoon, bill. this really was an unprecedented news conference for an unprecedented time. and now the governor as of half a dozen states have tried to come up with an unprecedented plan. new york governor andrew cuomo has put together a task force with the governors of new jersey, connecticut, delaware, rhode island, and pennsylvania together to come up with a plan to reopen the economy. pennsylvania governor tom wolf said it was up to each state, originally, to decide about closing down. now the states should decide about when it's time to reopen the economy. governor cuomo went on to say that the governors want clarity. and he added to that that the federal government should come up with some type of plan, if possible, but for now, this is a regional matter. each state was going to name a public health official and unofficial who will address

commerce or economic issues, along with the chief of staff from each of the offices of each state's governor. then they will form working groups, come up with a reopening plan in conjunction with all the other states. cuomo says they want to plan as soon as possible, but he emphasized, more importantly, they wanted to be smart. he emphasized the importance of learning from other countries. listen. >> we have to be smart, you need the best public health plan, and you need the best economic reactivation plan. it's not either/or, it it has to be both. no one is willing to sacrifice one at the expense of the other. and you can't have one at the expense of the other. >> meanwhile, new york state seems to be moving in the right direction. on easter sunday, governor cuomo said 671 new yorkers died from the virus, he called that terrible news. it is, however, less terrible than the day before when there were 758 deaths. there are no more than 18,000 new yorkers who remain hospitalized with the virus. there are more than 10,000 who,

in the state, have died. that is three times the number of deaths caused by 9/11. but governor cuomo emphasized earlier that the curve does continue to flatten and repeatedly, throughout the day, he has 100 new yorkers not to become complacent, and very quickly, i will say the new york city mayor bill de blasio echoed the same sentiment, he said the number of hospitalizations in the city are down. icu admissions are down, and the percentage of people testing positive for the virus is also down. and lastly, now, to try and further reduce the spread of the coronavirus, bill, the governor has ordered all employers in the state to give us some type of face covering to all workers and this would affect people primarily in food stores, pharmacies, other essential businesses. as for this multistate plan that is being worked on, there is no time frame that was given, but the governor emphasized he wanted it as soon as possible. >> bill: we'll hear more about this tomorrow, certainly,

david lee miller, upper east side of new york. meanwhile, covid-19 cases in the country topping 568,000. however, the virus may be plateauing in some spots. dr. greg spencer quebec with us today, director of global health and emergency medicine at new york presbyterian, he's also comfortable as well. doctor, welcome back, good to see you as well. i want to show our viewers a chart on the number of hospitals here in new york. you see how it dips away down, they are. we were at 85 on friday this past week. are we on the backside of this, doctor? >> it's a great question. we are not on the backside of this. we are in our better place than we were a few days ago, or definitely a couple weeks ago. it still important to remember we are in the acute phase. even if certain numbers are down, they are down from a really high, high. we still have people being intubated every day. we still have a record high, still have hundreds of new yorkers dying every day. this is still a crisis, and it's

really important that we are not complacent, because if we let up now, people think that now the time we start getting out of the house, the number of cases will only rebound and we will be back in the same situation again. >> bill: here's thomas ingalls be with from john hopkins with chris wallace from fox news. watch here. >> it looks like, and the last few days, if you look across the country and the average numbers that we are near a plateau in the number of cases. while he may be at a peak, we hope we are, it's still going to take time to bring the number of case numbers down, especially in the places which are the biggest hot spots. >> bill: it sounds to me like that state-by-state, step-by-step, region by region answer there. you say there's a big difference between a peak in a plateau. how are we to understand that, doctor? >> well, the important thing with a peak is that cases go up and then they go down just as quickly, or maybe even more quickly. plateau means we get to a certain level, which may be a really high level, close to what

we are at now, and that holds for some time. it may be days, it may be weeks. in each one of those days or weeks, you have new cases, new people in intensive care, a new deaths. comparing it to the day before might make you feel a little bit better, but comparing it to the situation last year, where still seeing a lot more people really sick, were still seeing a lot more deaths, and were still seeing a lot more people in intensive care. it's important to think about what we're measuring against. this plateau could last for some time and it could move to different places from new york to new jersey, two different hot spots. we just need to continue to be really diligent and focusing on the things we know that work, and not staying at home. >> bill: allstate one more thing. i get the sense we had some good news over the weekend. if you look at the horrendous number we've been seeing all through the week last week, this weekend was better news, last comment on that doctor. >> yeah, it certainly is a case of where seeing this decrease in our emergency rooms, but were still holding the hands of people were dying every single

day, alone in emergency rooms, calling their family on face time so they can have a chat with them one last time. the impact of this on communities, even if the numbers are going down is still huge, we need to continue to remember that. >> bill: thank you, thank you for coming in today, we will speak again. this is a major headline, severe weather killed at least 22 people as it states continue to do with the coronavirus pandemic, the storm system damaging hundreds of homes from louisiana up through the appalachian mountains. it is now want to tear up the east coast towards the coronavirus epicenter of new york city. more than animal meant. first, at least 11 were killed in the state of mississippi. the governor tate reed is with me now, governor, good afternoon, how do you deal with this when it came rolling in late on sunday, governor? >> thank you, bill, for having me on. we've been working on this since before lunch on easter sunday. obviously, we had at least 12 tornadoes tear through our state

yesterday. but in addition to the tornadoes, we actually had fatalities that were caused by some of the straight wins. we saw tornadoes, the like of which we haven't seen in this estate in a long, long time with winds as high as 200 miles per hour. >> bill: wow, where most people home at that time? but the covid-19 orders the same place, et cetera, i imagine most people are inside of their homes. >> there is no question. we made a big push over the last week or so to convince people to stay home and worship from home on easter sunday. that's hard to do in mississippi. but the vast majority of mississippians adhered to our call, they got on their telephones, they got on the phone line and listen to their preachers preach, whether it was streaming on tv. but the challenge was, the storms are very, very violence, particularly in that south part of our state where he had to tornadoes, almost exactly the same path, we currently have 11 fatalities, but we have search and rescue missions that are

ongoing. we believe that the number of injured, certainly, perhaps the number of fatalities is going to rise as we progress through the day. a >> bill: boy, that's a shame, 11 dead in mississippi, six in georgia, two in south carolina and arkansas. how did things change given the threat of covid-19 in your state? >> well, i will tell you, we've got the best emergency operators anywhere in the world. we have seen major emergencies, this is my 90th day in office, i've already been involved in five different federal emergency declarations. we have seven that of occurred in the last year. so we took some of our team and focus them on disaster response from the tornadoes, we still have our state eeoc open 24/7, has been for months on end, they've got very dedicated people, they're tired right now, as you can imagine, but were committed to working with our local governments and working with our local first responders. one thing about mississippi, bill, when it's time to step up and held our friends and our

neighbors, mississippians step up and do exactly that. >> bill: three months on the job, you've seen quite a bit, tate reed, my best to you and the people in mississippi and all through the southeast. thank you, sir, for your time today. in the meantime, the strong winds from that storm system forcing them temporary at testing sites near the covid-19 epicenter to close. that includes more than half a dozen in the state of new jersey, also here in new york city, forecasters warning that the winds could damage a tent hospital in central park. we saw sustained winds today new york. well above 30 miles an hour, it has been blowing out there. in the meantime, president trump will roll out a new task force to get the economy back open, we will tell you who we know is on that team as of today. and bernie sanders made a headline, officially endorsing joe biden, will his supporters follow suit? that's next. by refinancing now, you can save $2000 a year.

and newday's va streamline refi shortcuts the process. veterans can refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call could save you $2000 a year.

well, you see here... there's a photo of you and there's a photo of your mommy and then there's a picture of me. but before our story it goes way, way, way back with your great, great, great grandparents. see this handsome man, his name is william. william fell in love with rose and they had a kid. his name was charles and charles met martha... isn't she pretty? yeah.

>> bill: president trump says he will make a decision on reopening the economy shortly after forming a second task force to get it done. chief white house correspondent john roberts fly from the north on here today. john, nice to see you, is that reina here? >> you know, bill, the strangest weather here. one minute it's sunny and about 70 degrees. the next second we're getting a torrential downpour. that's a spring in washington, d.c. the president expected to announce tomorrow the full component of his counsel to reopen to america.

it looks like it's going to consist at this point only of government officials. they may consult without tight people, medical experts, business leaders, some governors as well. right now, mark meadows, chief of staff will be leading the council, ivanka trump will be on it as well as her husband jared kushner, secretary steven mnuchin, larry kudlow, robert lighthizer, cabinet secretary wilbur ross from commerce, the agriculture secretary, transportation, energy, omb director, and the chairman of the council of economic advisory. the stock reopening today is set for may the 1st. the president had hopes to get the economy, beginning to get it back in business by today. but that proves to be unrealistic. now there's an argument over who really has the responsibility for declaring no the economy to reopen. president trump tweeted today "for the purpose of creating conflict and confusion, some of the fake news media are saying

it's a government decision to open up the states, not the president of the united states. the federal government, let it be fully understood that this is incorrect. it is the decision of the president. for many good reasons. that being said, the administration and i are working closely with the governors and this will continue, decision by me, in conjunction with the governors and input from others will be made shortly. now, i just checked on the constitutionality of all this with george washington university law professor john turley who is very familiar to viewers of fox about the president sweet. professor charlie told me "he, the president has nothing beyond persuasive authority on opening up the country, this is a state issue. as i have said, he is persuasive, not command authority. it now, on those economic impact payments from the treasury department, the treasury department tells fox news that they started going out late last week. they really picked up the pace over the weekend. today, by wednesday, tens of millions of americans, they say, will have those $1200 checks by

direct deposit. now, treasury has established it to web portal so, so that people contract the payments, whaley's treasury, when it gets into their bank account. people who are nonincome tax return filers, there portal is artie up and running. people who do file income tax returns, their portal will be up and running by the end of that week. >> bill: okay, the president retweeted on sunday at me which in clued in to hashtag "fire dr. fauci" the president has responded to that. >> the president retweeted that, they were wondering, between president trump and vouching, with their falling out, what he said yesterday, on one of the sunday shows has been widely repeated where he said if there was earlier medical intervention in the coronavirus, perhaps flats could've been saved. now, faucher went on to say a number of qualifying statements and caveats after that, but people have only picked up on that one part where he said if there were earlier medical intervention, labs could've been

saved. the president tweeted out what he tweeted, and a lot of people thought oh,'s dr. fauci on shaky ground, but the white house moving today today no, a statement saying "this media chatter is ridiculous. president trump is not firing dr. fauci. the president suite clearly exposed media attempt to maliciously push a falsehood about his train had decision in an attempt to rewrite history. dr. fauci has been and remains a trusted advisor to president trump. we do not know at this point if you will be at the coronavirus briefing. he may need an arc to get there, or at least a boat. we'll find out soon. >> bill: the longer you talk, the harder it rains, john. john roberts reporting from the rain court this afternoon. see you at 5:00. then u.s. navy meanwhile confirming a u.s. sailor on board the uss theodore roosevelt as died from covid-19, an outbreak on that ship infected

about 600 crew members. most of the crew is now back on land. the sailor's death comes a week and a half after the ship's captain sounded the alarm about the outbreak and then lost his job. meanwhile, the pentagon reports another aircraft carrier, the uss truman will stay out of this scene for three weeks instead of returning home to protect the crew from touching the virus on board that ship. from london, british prime minister boris johnson is out of the hospital. the 55-year-old leader was admitted about a week ago on sunday with covid-19, and spent three days in the icu. he thinks his doctors and nurses were saving his life. as he put it, things could've gone either way. he also thanked the british people for staying home and said their sacrifice is a saving the country's health system. he's not back on the job yet, but we will watch out for when it happens. meanwhile, here at home, democrats and republicans in a standoff over what the next phase in relief could be for millions of americans. can they strike a deal? republican senator john brasa will answer that in a moment.

and a tv star raises money to help fight covid-19. bethany frankel has been crushing in. she will tell us how coming up as we continue next. when we first opened our doors, it didn't take us long to realize ... ...we weren't in the car business. at lexus, we were in the people business. we needed to be helpful . . . . . . respectful . . . and compassionate. to treat people like guests. it's what we all signed up for. and now when people need this most, we will do what we've always done. take care of people first. the rest will follow.

witpeople at higher riskng, must take extra precautions. you are at higher risk if you are over 65, or if you have an underlying medical condition. please visit coronavirus.gov for more information.

>> bill: breaking news from the west coast, we told you how states are in the northeast are planning to launch a program to reopen their economies. from the american west, governors from california, oregon, and washington state. washington, the original hot spot in the u.s., like the east coast governors, those

leaders say our states will only be effective by working together. that crossing right now. statement of stalemate on the hill, top democrats got their ideas, republicans of theirs. chad pergram is going to drive right through the middle to figure it out now and washington. what's likely to move here, chad, what's happening? >> well, it's unclear. mitch mcconnell the senate majority leader last week tried to add $250 billion to the small business component of aid here, growing at about $600 billion. the problem is that fund is burning through cash fast, and they think that they may exhaust those coffers by the end of the week. republicans are calling for a clean bill, here, nothing else on the bill. democrats have other ideas. here's a joint statement this morning from house speaker nancy pelosi anna senate minority leader chuck schumer. "small businesses, hospitals, and state and local governments are struggling to keep up with this crisis. it is clear that those appropriated amounts will not be enough to cover the tremendous need. democrats want to add things into this bill, something that they are very concerned about his access to capital for underserved communities. minority communities, farmers, tribal areas. that something that's very important. what's not clear right now, bill, is that there may not be anything on the republican side of the aisle, the senate had one of those what we call pro forma

session, this morning, gavel and coming apple out, known to be today. they do that again on thursday afternoon, there's a question if they can get all sides, the democrats and the republicans in the house in the senate together, and also get the white house, maybe they can try by thursday if this fund is going to be exhausted five weeks end. but here's the real problem, it is hard to get an agreement with nobody here. they're having these conference calls, they are talking via zoom, this is a real experiment in legislation. that was one of the problems with the phase two bill, and it's coming back here as they try to do phase 3.5 or four depending how you look at it, it is hard to do from a distance. bill. i >> bill: thank you chad, chad pergram, nice to see again. moments ago, state of wyoming announcing its first death from covid-19, republican senator and dr. john barrasso from wyoming, senator, hard to hear that. tough to hear that from your state, you're just listening to chad's reporting there. what could you support next for

millions and millions of americans need help? >> well, thank you bill for having me. i will tell you couple things. number one is that everyone in america has been impacted by coronavirus. everyone of wyoming, certainly everyone across the country. some from a health standpoint, others from the economic standpoint. we have been successful in flattening the curve here in wyoming. we have the fewest number of cases. this was our first death. we also know that it was predicted we would have hundreds and hundreds of deaths, we are now much, much lower than that in the predictions because of the things that people have been doing, in terms of socially distancing, staying home, washing their hands, all of those things. so we have flatten the curve. we have also flattened our economy. our agriculture, our energy, our tourism economy. so in terms of what we need to do right now, for working americans, is to increase the amount of money in this paycheck protection program that was so successful as part of the cares

act. what we know is that we've already used $350 billion, and as a result, have kept 15 million americans on the payroll. that's what you want to do. if you are working american, there is a pretty good chance you work for a small business, because 70% of americans who work to work for small businesses, you need a paycheck, and it is this plan that we are trying to increase. they've already used the money, that's what we are trying to do, and that's with the democrats are trying to hijack in an effort to get other things past. >> bill: we expect more from his economic task force. we've seen a number of names, a lot of them are very familiar with the audience. i don't know your feeling is on that, but on friday the presents that he wants governors to be involved as well. why not recruit governors like gavin newsom in california. california appears to be very successful in trying to flatten that curve, and have been sober more than a week. he's a democrat. that way, senator, you get a lot more buy into the idea. hey, we've never been here before, we try to figure it out

as we go, be patient with us, but here are the steps that we think our right to make now to get the economy moving again. why not jump on that idea? would you support that? >> well, i visited with the president, forrest's focus is on the health and well-being of the american people as well as the specifics of the economy. he wants to get the economy open as quickly and as safely as we can, and i agree with him, and all those regards. i think he's taking in information from lots of people, governors, health care leaders, business owners, all of those people, in terms of trying to make the best decision about the timing and how we can reopen the country, whether it is my part of the country, different parts, different sectors, all of those things that are so important and vital to get america functioning again. >> bill: i your message, in your last answer there about the economy, i think a lot of people are agreeing with you. you have to do it safely. you do want to get two months down the road and get another outbreak. no one wants that. i just don't know how you figured out step-by-step, but we

will get more details coming up at 5:00 from the task force. senator, thank you for your time, john brass are in wyoming, thank you, sir. morning moment on the deadly storms that ripped across the south on easter sunday. we will talk to a lawmaker from a hard-hit area about how to help next. and governors in the northeast working to get their estates back open again, we'll tell you about details we are learning this hour. and the businesswoman and tv star bethan bethenny frankel one has been helping so many along the way. she's coming up next. some great ideas. the newday va streamline refi is the reason why. it lets you shortcut the loan process and refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now.

than rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. it can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. as have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. tell your doctor if you've been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if you've had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr.

of this coronavirus crisis, pandemic, to be hit with these tornadoes, it is saddening, it is devastating, but the people of tennessee will rise to this occasion, but i saw businesses devastated, complete subdivisions destroyed. it's a very sad time here in east tennessee. >> bill: just about two months ago nashville is feeling same thing. you remember that quite well too, don't you? you were on the phone with fema, what do you need from the government now, to help you? >> well, i want to thank the administration and director gaynor, he called me this morning after i reach out to him. very important. many of our front-line men and women were working so hard rescuing people from rubble or without protection. and i reached out, and he was very prompt in his response. i could not be more thankful, at a time when he and fema are dealing with covid nationally,

he took the time to call me and assured me that relief will be on the way. i just want to make sure that our first responders are protected. these men and women are outstanding, we've had a lot of casualties, a lot of injuries, we've got people who sadly, will lose their life here in east tennessee over this crisis. but he stepped up and promised me the aid. >> bill: 11 dead in mississippi, six in georgia, tennessee has been wracked by this as well. with the factor of covid-19 being mixed into this, i think a lot of people, frankly, or home when the storms are whirling through, we've been told to stay home. how has that complicated matters for you? >> well, it has just added insult to injury, to have two crazies going on concurrently has been horrible. covid has affected our community, not to the extent that it has other hot spots like new york or washington, d.c.,

but we are online down, but when i walk through neighborhoods today and i saw affected people, injured people, people who are hurting, some people in shock. just to see neighborhoods, their residencies wiped out and a time like this when were trying to deal and cope with one crisis and get another right on top of it, it is overwhelming, it really is. >> bill: how can we help, sir? >> well, prayers. we just celebrated easter sunday. this is a time for hope and prayer. our country is going through an unprecedented time. and i think it is time to take up prayer, pray, and to reach out, and to help one another, to say thank you. throughout this crisis, i've said thank you time and time again. president trump, vice president pence, to fema, director gaynor, this is a time we need to come together more than ever and unify, put our differences aside, and realize that we are in this crisis together, and we will get through it together,

and emerged stronger. >> bill: best of like to you and everybody in tennessee. chuck fleischmann, thank you for coming in today and getting word out. thank you. americans across the country coming together to help each other. this has been the story time and time again. we have bethan bethenny frankel, entrepreneur, author, and tv star, she's been on front, bethany, good day to you, i follow what you're doing, i think it's awesome, you're killing it out there. your initiative is called be strong, i want to know what you're doing, but here's the quote they got my attention. "we're not sitting around and quarantine watching the news waiting for more doom and gloom, we're focused on solving the problem. so tell us how, what are you up to? >> so, we don't complain, we don't blame, we just sort of get involved. and we, today, have distributed over $17.5 million worth of protective equipment and aid to health care workers, to police officers, to firefighters nationwide. we are working on 200 plus

hospitals and over 15 states. at the beginning of the coronavirus, we had sent an 18-wheeler to tennessee because they had already experienced tornado, so now, and just hearing this recent news, i agree about adding insult to injury, which are previous gas just mentioned. that's exactly what i just said a minute ago. and we are now going to pivot, this entire corona situation has been pivoting. you know, you have to figure out one thing, then you have 12 nef to be able to be nimble enough to move to the next thing. for me, we're going to pivot this operation to give some of our corona kids, our preventative kids, hand sanitizer, immune builders, vitamin c, with some protective equipment, gloves, wipes, were going to send some of those along with traditional aid, hurricane, earthquake, or a tornado to those areas in the south you just mentioned, to tennessee, to mississippi. to georgia. >> bill: that's amazing, that's great. he reached up to 50 different

states, is that list growing? >> the list is growing, yeah, we had sent 50,000 hazmat suits to louisiana, we sent a million hazmat suits to new york state, 200 masks to new york city, and ppe to hospitals around the country, and we are just distributing every day, allocated, distributing, now this adds a new element to it, because of certain areas were hit twice, now, and have nothing. they have less than nothing. so were just going to keep moving, keep helping, keep working with local governments, and do our part. >> bill: i would like to know how people are coping. i see how you are coping. you're getting in there, you're getting the work done. >> i'm getting in, getting on, trying to get rest, trying to be organized, trying to be structured with my daughter, trying to stay safe, i'm realizing that anxiety is normal, people should be feeling scared, people are broke, people are being abused, people have no money, people have no jobs,

people have to just come together and find ways to create new successes and structure in their life. so i'm trying to be part of the solution, trying to come from a place of yes and just have a positive attitude as best i can. >> bill: you got some help from billy joel, matthew mcconaughey, imagine you're getting help from a lot of people. how can everyday folks help, bethany? >> yeah, probably 50 celebrities, big-name celebrities of health. but it's really the regular american that has helped. the person who donates $0.50, $1, $10, someone said to me that the march of dimes during polio, people were donating $0.50 apiece and it really made a difference so people starting to donate $10 apiece, we can raise millions of dollars. and you're spreading the word, and you're donating to

bethenny.com/bestrong. the poor person has been donating, they're making a difference in addition to the wealthy person. >> bill: hundred% all those in, right? >> 100% goes to the effort, as always. >> harris: what's your dog's name? >> this is smog, i have another one named biggie. there one letter, 15 pounds difference. there never a part. >> bill: fantastic. thank you bethany, nice to see you. bethanbethenny frankel, we'll ge website out there as well, thanks. you can find more stories of people coming together in this time of social distancing, information how you can help, always online, 24/7 at foxnews.com. in the meantime, joe biden getting a big endorsement today, we'll tell you about that. meanwhile the trump team announcing big numbers for first quarter fund-raising, the 2020 matchup. concern for students all across america. will virtual learning affect the progress they should have made come this fall? that's next. given my unique lifestyle, that'd be perfect!

everything from manda to relate summer school to starting school orderly and longer days in the classroom. a more drastic option that's also on the table is having some schools hold back the entire student body to repeat this past year. >> in schools where you've got lots and lots of kids who are way behind, those schools should seriously consider holding back most if not all of their students. the worst decision we can make is to push kids ahead when they are already behind and lost ground because of this crisis. >> 21 states have artie closed schools for the rest of the academic year, and that manned up happening for the rest which are currently out until various times in april and may. despite all that time away from the classroom, summary true search say most kids will be able to catch up to where they should be within a year. >> two months is going to put our kids behind a lot, those curriculum standards are amazed by people anyway. two months, you know, you don't

shot. and communicating with each other by computer. also, the olympics have been delayed until 2021. athletes who have not competed this year may not get their chance. how are you doing? i assume that you are somewhere in your protective bunker in new york city. what are we learning about that? what are you hearing about the athletes who have concerns about their own careers. >> in regard to the olympics, it's tough. if you are gymnast, particularly female gymnasts, it's been a long time since you've seen someone win a gold medal above the age of 19. unfortunately, we live in a time forever where you really can't be major. tom brady might be able to play quarterback, but when you look at the science as far as who can win, a female gymnast has a very short life span. even someone like 23 years old, maybe there is a younger crop

just coming in or somebody starts to break down. >> bill: so this is their window. we are not sure if they are going to hit the window or not. we'll watch that. there is a virtual tennis challenge. is this where we are headed? >> yeah. mel, i don't know about you, i've been struggling into watching other people play video games regardless of who it is. is not the most entertaining format. the nba have done this a lot. you see images of the players playing the game, and they are not the greatest communicators. with the use of broadcasters, and it's not all that interesting. tennis is a one-on-one sport. as well as andy murray. and we will see some others out there. >> bill: that sounds exciting. did you see the horse competition? what did you think?

made of tiger's relationship with his father. but tiger got emotional saying, my mom was there, too. there she was a can. and there was charlie, his son, to give him that final hug after tiger won it. at least that was a little bit of some live sports for us. >> bill: i thought it was cool how they got tiger's reaction in real time. look at the crutches on the ground. that's a story for another day. they had tiger woods on camera describing his emotions. he wasn't sure his kids were going to make it. that was a cool moment. thank you very much, brother. are you hanging in there? >> i'm staying safe. >> bill: your governor is doing a good job. speaking of the governors, headlines crossing right now from the garden state. he says he will order reconnection of any internet or

phone service that was disconnected due to nonpayment after march 16th. he says he will also sign an executive order that prohibits an internet or phone service from being shut off until 30 days after the public health emergency concludes. that's a substantial move. it's going to help a lot of people in new jersey. we will see whether or not other governors follow sloughed across the country. the health commissioner in new jersey says that 324 long-term care facilities -- that could be assisted living areas, nursing centers across the state have at least one case of covid-19. gabe and i am not, because the level of infections that we have been talking about. it is very dangerous stuff. we get word, 324 long-term care facilities in the state of new jersey have at least one case of covid-19. something else. on the easter monday, we hope
