our bargain detergent couldn't. keep up. with us... turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. daughter: slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean. it's got to be tide. >> this virus originated in wuhan, china. the wuhan institute of virology handful of miles from where the west market was, they say they want to cooperate, one of the best ways they could cooperate would be to let the world in and let the world scientists know how this came to be. >> a fox news exclusive, sources alleging the pandemic did not begin in a way to market but instead in a nearby virology lab that china is covering up.

>> if that is the case, what else is china been lying about, that is the question. joining us is asia analyst gordon chang. it is still an allegation but what is your reaction so far? >> this allegation fits the facts. there is a january 20 fourth article from the authoritative british journal and it says when you look at the initial cases many of them, perhaps as many as a third have no connection with the wet market which is the theory beijing has been promoting so when we look at that we have to say either there were two outbreak simultaneously or the wet market is not the source. the notion this escape from a lab is supported by the majority of the science we see out there. >> some sources tell us that the initial transmission of the virus goes back to human and

this patient 0 worked at the lab in china and from there that is how the virus escaped into the population, sources also tell us china suppressed data, changed data, samples were destroyed, contaminated areas were scrubbed, where do we go from here? >> we have to take up what the secretary of state said, we have to press the chinese to let virologists and immunologists and epidemiologists into the lab and into wuhan but we need to press china because china has imposed extraordinary controls on information and one other piece of information that is really puzzling, is this virus naturally mutated in the wet market in wuhan, why did china open all the west markets a week ago? that would mean they were actually wanting a second pandemic. more likely they know the wet market was not the source of

this epidemic. >> they blamed the wet market and try to blame the united states for a time, china looks terrible in all this at this point and the world health organization appears to be complicit in this and the president has been hammering that organization announcing he will halt funding until an investigation comes in. what do you make of that? we were cut off a lot of funding to that organization. >> the president is right to do that. the world health organization was complicit and it was complicit in what beijing did to spread this virus. beijing knew this virus was transmissible human to human but it deliberately lied by telling the international community it wasn't. the world health organization propagated that notion with a january 14th tweet, and the who supported the move to prevent the imposition of travel restrictions and quarantines, those things made this, which

should have been a local outbreak in wuhan, turned a local outbreak into a global pandemic and that is why we are seeing all the infections and deaths outside china. wuhan that listens what the president has to say in the world health organization's director general about the decision on the us fund. >> we pay $400 million to $500 million a year, china is paying $40 million a year and it is like they control this group. >> the united states of america has been a long-standing and generous friend to who, the decision of the president of the united states to order a hold in funding. rob: here are the numbers as we have been as far as contributions to the world health organization, 893 million coming from the united states, 86 million from china.

how does this shakeout. is this the right move by the president? >> i hope six months from now we see senior leaders at the who redesign. it is certainly true who doctors and professionals do great work but we know their great work is nullified by the political leadership at the top of the who and we know that on monday when we heard a senior who doctor say she knew was transmissible human to human but her views were completely disregarded by others. the top leadership of the who has to go before the us put any more money back into the organization. rob: the allegation they sold out the one job they had to do it if that is true how do you not fire the leadership.

this time of need was definitely a really hard decision. we are certainly waiting for some help. we could all use some financial help right now. >> that is chef john brennan who owns connecticut's elm city social olives and oil and he is still waiting on help from washington's stimulus package but is changing his game plan in the meantime in his back with us with an update on that. thank you so much. just to start off tell us what is the big change. >> thanks for having me. recently just about last week we received notice that there will be a push back until may 20th and possibly further so we are able to take patrons into our restaurant again. we have not yet received any of our ppe or small business loans so we just have to get up and operate again whether it is take out only for now or cross our fingers and hope we can back to regular business soon.

>> i can only imagine how scary anybody in the restaurant or bar industry, one of the scariest places to be. let's look at the impact of the last month or 6 weeks has done to your industry, march of 2020, 417,000 jobs lost in you compare that to numbers from the past, the previous record was in october of 2000, 67,000 jobs lost. this is the vista rated your industry was what amount of restaurants do you think will be able to survive this? >> i have never seen anything like it and i have been doing it for 18 years. i'm not really sure. i'm hoping a lot of us can pull through. i know a lot of our customers are loyalists. i have been helping support us through this time, we have ago fund the page. i'm hoping everyone can get back on their feet and shortly after

may 20th we can get back up and rolling but it is not looking very promising. i know a lot of restaurants will be really hurt by this. >> a lot of people are talking about you open the restaurant but can only lead in 25 or 50% of the people, most restaurants work on a pretty thin margin. can you make any money if you are only half full, only allowed to behalf full? >> that is our issue, even thinking about reopening just for take out, looking at that 80% reduction in sales and that is being generous and if you are only allowed to have 20 people are best case scenario 100 people in the restaurant you are still only going to be operating on a 50% loss. our business if you are taking 15% at the end of the day you are doing amazingly. it is tough right now, not to mention the rising price of everything as we continue through this.

>> if you can, if you have money in your pocket order the take out, keep your favorite restaurants open because you will want them back, appreciate it. shannon: an important message, 25 after the hour, the surge of patients in new york city hospital starting to subside. does that mean the spread in america's biggest hotspot is under control? doctor jeanette says not yet. >> it was essentially a political rally, a political statement. >> protesters down the street for operation gridlock, we have the fight to get back to work spreading nationwide.

rob: thousands of protesters from michigan's capital to protest the governor's stay-at-home order.

rob: ashley joins us live in the fight to get back to work spreading nationwide. >> that was the sound around the country yesterday. the protesters all over the nation broke the stay-at-home orders to get their messages across. people in michigan protested tight restrictions meant to fight covid-19. signs read things like once liberty is lost it is lost forever and security without liberties called prison. they laid on their horns, the governor later responded. >> we know that this rally endangered people. this kind of activity will put more people at risk. >> lawmakers in pennsylvania passable along party lines that

would reopen put out by the cdc but if the lockdown restrictions stick thousands plan to protest on april 20th, republican lawmaker brian cutler said in part society has to accept risks as a portion of what we do all the time and went on to say with potential outbreak in the future the list of businesses who can stay open has to have structure and consideration it deserves and then intend to keep protesters gathered outside the capital in frankfurt during the daily coronavirus briefing. >> we should reopen kentucky immediately right now. that would kill people.

it would absolutely kill people. >> you could hear the seriousness in his voice. yesterday kentucky saw 7 new deaths related to the disease with right under 2300 deaths. >> thank you for the update. >> hospitals are stable in america's episode. >> the healthcare situation has stabilized, fears of overwhelming the healthcare system has not happened. we can control the spread, that is great news. >> is this the first step back towards normal. rob: joining us is doctor jeanette. thank you for coming on, we appreciate it as always, great to have you one. tell us how much better the situation is. >> we are moving in the right direction. yesterday was my first shift i did not have to hospitalize anyone. i have a lot of coronavirus patients but i was able to treat

them as an outpatient, give them supportive treatment measures and quarantine and isolation. we are moving in the right direction, still not out of the woods yet, we still have several hundred deaths a day in new york. it is great the hospital icu admissions have gone down, intimations of gone down, this is a step in reopening our community but we still have to make sure we have a good plan in place so we don't have any spikes and surges because that is one of my biggest fears, that everyone goes out and relaxes on the social distancing. we don't want that to happen. as you have heard, starting this weekend it will not be mandatory in new york that everyone that goes out in public as to wear a mask. on the subway where there is public transportation just so they don't endanger others as a safety protocol. >> do you think in the next few

weeks it could be possible in new york city just because we are referencing these numbers and new york city has been a hotspot in the united states do you think it is possible for people to start getting back to work as long as we are social distancing? do you see the light at the end of the tunnel? >> it is a possibility. we have to get the number of deaths down, a possibility of moving in that and have more resurgence from the disease. we look at areas where there are no outbreaks where the cases have declined dramatically in certain parts of the nation but we are moving in the right direction, too early to tell where we will be ready to open a but if we can continue these guidelines we will get there sooner than we thought.

rob: we have some questions, we have question from greg, i heard droplets from affected people only travel a few feet in the air. what about smokers. can their smoke carry the virus? sometimes you can smell a cigarette from across the street. >> years. here's the thing. when you're smoking and have the virus, even if you're a symptomatic meaning you have it and are not aware, you could be aerosolized in the virus and spreading it out. that is a possibility. this is a great opportunity for anyone who smokes to quit smoking, quit smoking, talk about smoking cessation. we have tools available. >> question from rodney. are the vaccines of the development live or dead? many cannot take a live vaccine.

>> vaccines can come in different forms. they can come in live attenuated vaccines, a weakened part of the vaccine or it is completely that we inject it into the body so your body create antibodies to protect you. there are multiple companies working on multiple forms of vaccine. it could come in the form of an injection. it could come in a nasal spray like we had with the flu vaccine into could also come in an oral component. still under testing and trials right now. we have to see which one is most effective and safe at the same time but that is really good question because you are right, there are some people that may have a weakened immune system and are not eligible for live vaccines, measles, mumps and rubella is considered a live vaccine whereas this past season the flu shot was considered a dead vaccine. >> one more from we have a few that asks what about the mail

that i get? is the mail safe or should it be sanitized? >> great question. for the most part the transmission we see for coronavirus is from person-to-person, is it possible to pick it up from the mail? it could carry some viral particles. the best thing to do is wash your hands after handling the mail. if you see obviously debris and dirt on your parcel, then use gloves and then after opening the package throw away the gloves, wash your hands, disinfect any surfaces the packaging is come into contact with. it is possible but we are seeing most of the transmission from person-to-person at this time. >> i clorox white every box. thank you very much. >> a wife in her hands. all right, thanks. >>

thank you for being here. we appreciate it. why don't you tell me what was going on in that photo we saw. >> in the photo that went viral i surprised her by showing up at her house while they were having a picnic lunch. i stood six feet apart from her on the sidewalk. i wanted to talk and spend time with each other. a little time to a normal little bit of flight and all this craziness. >> why did you feel you needed to do that for hannah? >> we were having storytime which we do with my class every school night and one night she just seemed really upset. she let her head down and when the class tried to talk to her she didn't want to talk to us. you could tell something was bothering her.

she ended the meeting early and i texted her mom and inquired what's up, is she okay and she told us she was sad. i asked if i could go over there. >> it is a hard time right now. are you missing the in school, missing your friends? >> a half. >> what did it feel like when katie came over to read with you and spend time with you? >> excited? >> you can go ahead and tell us. how did this play out when you got the text message? >> i knew she was coming over that day. hannah didn't know but i didn't know she was going to stay. i thought she would come by, read the book, hannah thought she would just drive by and wave. she looked at hannah and said

rob: welcome back. california's governor gavin newsom will be giving stimulus checks to illegal immigrants. >> we feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportation. i'm proud, as governor, to be the first state to announce a program for direct disaster assistance to those individuals. jillian: wow, as can you imagine, social media has a lot to say about this. carley shimkus has that reaction. good morning. carley: good morning. how about that for a big announcement. an estimated 150,000 people living in california illegally will be getting a one-time payment of $500 starting next month. now while undocumented immigrants are not eligible for

stimulus checks that americans are receiving right now, governor newsom points out that they paid over $2.5 billion in state and local taxes last year. so, this is obviously going to spark mixed reaction on social media. let's get right to it. albert says how much is he giving actual citizens but ruth points out well she thinks the governor is saying it's the right thing to do. we all need help sometimes. the program will be comprised of a mix of taxpayer money and private donations. jillian: envelope is considering playing in empty stadiums this season, right? carley: the envelope season is expected to start in september. it is going to look very different, possibly. an nfl insider said this to the "the washington post." the nfl is planning for everything from playing without fans to playing in full stadiums. we know there will be a push from the federal government to open things up. but, remember, the other leagues have to go first. a lot of opinions on what the nfl season could look like.

barb tweets playing in empty stadiums would be so much better than no season at all. but this twitter user writes football would not be the same with empty stadiums. it certainly wouldn't. we are talking about september so only time will tell. jillian: absolutely. rob: evidently there is a growing faction of people that think dr. fauci is the sexiest man alive. carley: there is online petition calling for dr. anthony fauci to be named people's sexiest man alive. it's gaining traction. over 50,000 people have signed he was asked about this yesterday. when they show this to me at my age where were you when i was 30. this person doesn't think it matters what age anthony fauci is. tiffany says dr. fauci is my type. and another twitter user right here calling him a silver fox. so he definitely has a lot of fans out there a lot of people

loving on the good doctor. rob: too bad he is taken. married man. jillian: carley, thank you for that. carley: i will send it back to you on that note. jillian: on that note, we have got to go. "fox & friends" starts right now. have a good day, everyone. >> well while we must remain village length, it is clear that our aggressive strategy is working and very strongly working. the battle continues but the battle suggests that nationwide we have passed the peak on new cases. hopefully that will continue and we will continue to make great progress. steve: we have passed the peak. there you heard the president talking progress as he is set to reveal plans for reopening the economy later today. getting americans back to work will. brian. brian: right now u.s. coronavirus cases passing 639,000. deaths almost 31,000 after new
