set your dvr for fox & friends starting at 6:00 a.m. eastern time every day so you never miss a minute. brian? >> and asked someone in your house how to use the dvr. also listen to our radio show with guest bob costas. thanks so much for watching. >> sandra: a major step today and getting the economy back up and running. a handful of states moving forward with plans to reopen but none of them is as extensive in georgia. despite warnings from some health experts that it is just too soon. good morning everyone, and sandra smith. >> ed: and a very pleasant good morning to you. i'm ed henry. today the state of georgia will start allowing businesses like gyms, tattoo parlors and nail salons to open up a social distancing guidelines and place, this is governor bryan kemp faces pushback from not only other governors but president trump. the vice president mike pence says he thinks the pandemic

could be largely behind us by memorial day. >> how a task force actually believes mr. president that if we continue these mitigation efforts in the days ahead as states implement their policies including phase reopening that will preserve those game againse believe by early summer we could be in a much better place as a nation with much of this coronavirus epidemic behind us. >> sandra: we have fox team coverage for you this morning, john roberts standing b by the white house. but we begin with jonathan serrie this morning. >> good morning to you sandra. president trump says he's allowing georgia governor bryan kemp to move forward with plans to reopen the estate's economy but that he told him in a private conversation, it's too soon. take a listen. >> president trump: i said, you do what you think it's best. but if you ask me, am i happy

about it? i'm not happy about it and i'm not happy about brian kemp. >> a couple of hours after that, brian kemp tweeted four weeks we have worked closely to mitigate the coronavirus impact in georgia. our decisions are formed by data and public health at recommendations. not everyone is rushing to reopen, the owner of this barbershop says they are not ready without proper safety equipment. >> without protection equipment and regular testing for our nonsymptomatic staff, we don't feel comfortable. >> coming back to our live shot in suburban savannah, you can see the fitness center legally allowed to reopen today that part of a national chain that wants to play it safe and wait a while longer. to the right, a nail salon

saying it will not accept any customers having symptoms. and here at the chinese restaurant next door is offering take out only as our restaurants throughout the state of georgia but starting monday, the governor's executive order will allow limited dining services as long as restaurants can maintain extreme cleanliness and social distancing. it will be very interesting to see how many restaurants in this state feel safe welcoming customers back inside. sandra and ed, back to you. >> president trump: will make >> sandra: very interesting to see those restaurants and companies. >> ed: at noon today, the white house, the president will sign a nearly half trillion dollar injection of more money into the american economy after the stimulus 3.5 bill passed overwhelmingly in the house. our chief white house correspondent john roberts is live on the north lawn.

just another quiet day. >> it's always a quiet day here at the white house, birds are chirping and there's not much else going on. we expect to hear from the president at noon today when he signs the new bill that will replenish the small business administration paycheck protection plan with another $310 billion for that. the overall cost of the bill, $384 billion. the president is anxious to get more money in the hands of small business owners so they can hang onto their employees employees. listen here. >> president trump: i'm grateful that congress is answering my call to deliver these additional $320 billion in relief for the american worker and for small businesses. at a time when many americans are enduring economic challenges, this bill will help small businesses keep millions of workers on the payroll. >> democrats are touting their role to get more than just paycheck protection into the bill and looking ahead to a phase for stimulus in which they

are vowing to include money for the states. as the house speaker. >> our heroes, we will address the need of our heroes. now health care workers, police and fire and transportation workers. >> it's likely there will be a lot of argument over what's in phase four. mitch mcconnell said he's not interested in giving money to the states to bail out their pensions and the president wants phase four to include a big infrastructure bill, tax breaks for restaurants, entertainment and sports and a payroll tax cut for employees as they get back to work. and i split yesterday between dr. anthony fauci and the president on the issue of testing after the vice president saying the other day that the united states has enough testing in place for every state to go to a phase one reopening. he told "time" magazine he is not overly confident that the u.s. is where it needs to be on testing which brought this response from the president.

>> do you agree with dr. fauci that we are just not there yet? >> president trump: no i -- if he said that i don't agree with it. >> there are questions about what the president said last night about the possible use of disinfectants and ultraviolet light to treat coronavirus inside the body. that led to doctors jumping up and saying never ingest or inject disinfectant. that with the statement that by summer time we could be a much better place than where we are now. that really tracks with the institute for health metrics and evaluation showing that as we approach the memorial day on the 1st of june, the curve is rapidly heading toward zero and it gets to zero sometime in july but it's a much more drastic reduction between now and the end of may then we have seen so far. >> ed: john roberts, thank yo thank you. >> president trump: i want

them to open and i want them to open as soon as possible and i want the state to open. but i wasn't happy with brian kemp, i will tell you that right now. i want the people in georgia to be safe and i don't want this thing to flareup because you are deciding to do something that's not in the guidelines. >> sandra: that was president trump criticizing governor brian kemp for her to the decision to open up some spas and a tattoo parlors in his state. it is another guest that believes that's happening too soon. georgia congressman doug collins joins us now, ranking member of the judiciary committee. thank you so much and i know you disagree with this move, why not now? >> it's not that we disagree, but the president said it very well. we all want to see the state, not just georgia but the country but open back up. there was concern that we had here, and that's how we are going about this. following the guidelines and the

randomness of both businesses being opened up while at the same time we still have an executive order here that is a stay-at-home border for georgia. that means everyone is supposed to be staying home but we are opening up the business. the other concern is, they were basically, it was a blanket order from the state and not taking in some local input and especially health input. i still have an area in my part of georgia where my district is and where i live, it still seeing increases in patients. i think we can open up the state and there's ways to do it. they just needs to be a measured approach. i think this is what was lacking. and as you heard from some of the reports earlier, how do we go about this? it's not about businesses opening back up it's about citizens feeling comfortable going to the businesses, as we well. >> sandra: so governor, the congressman said, now with favorable data and approval from state officials we are taking another major step forward by

opening shuttered businesses for limited operations. i know these hardworking georgians will prioritize safety of their employees and customers. you just heard from that report there from jonathan serrie who was pointed out that some businesses while they are able to reopen, they are imposing some of their own restrictions to keep their customers and employees safe. you are already seeing that happen. so if you don't open now, how do you do it and what metric would lead you to believe that now is the time or a few days or a few weeks from now? >> what has to depend on the level of comfort with businesses. one of the things you mentioned earlier is having to preppe. so that they can put in place things like testing -- peter testing for their own employees are also making sure that they can take temperatures, they can screen people as they come in whether it be for whatever service they are providing. this will be an opening that needs to happen but it's also an opening that we need to make

sure people are comfortable with. that's why the president put up the guidelines that he did. if we get ahead of those guidelines i think that's a national standard. every state has the ability that they want to do and the governor has the right to do that and i respect that. i just like the president want to see it open back up but it's a balance of listening to all interests and not simply saying here's the interest we will open back up, and we will do that. but you made a very good point. georgians are smart folks, we will work through this but we also don't want to give a false security that just because it seems to be better in certain parts of our state, there are other parts that still have issues they are dealing with. we don't want to see that cross transfer to other parts of the country. >> sandra: recognizing you are running for senate against kelly leffler, she has voiced support for the governor's decision here and her spokesperson put out a statement saying senator loeffler like governor kemp is working to make sure we reopen our economy and

get back to work in a safe and healthy way. i'd be curious on your response to that. and knowing that we have seen some protests emerge throughout the country in some areas where some of the residents do not believe they are opening fast enough, congressman. how far would you advise the white house and president trump to go to advise governor kemp to reverse course on his decision? >> i think the president spoke pretty clearly on what he advised and how that happened and i will leave that for president trump. in response to senator loeffler she also had a statement that she put out that said she was fully on board with the president and she was fully on board with the governor. i understand that's an interesting answer but at the same point in time you need to have your own answer and your answer would reflect with the people of georgia are telling you. and the locals need input, our medical community facing different areas and have different needs than the whole state. so i think from the perspective of leadership, leadership says this is what my decision is and

there are concerns with with the decision but the president made a pretty clear what his expectations were. he spoke to the governor about that, then i will leave that to the governor and the president. the problem is, she also stated that she believed in both of them, not just one. >> sandra: congressman, we have to leave it there, a few seconds left. mike pence putting out an optimistic message that he thinks a lot of this could be behind us by early summer, past memorial day. do you see that happening? >> if we do what we are supposed to do and follow the recommendations a task force have put out, we can see how this country can begin to come pass this. we will get through this. it's not simply because i wanted to happen but because we see the numbers going in that direction. i think the vice president reflects what we see in the longer trend in most of areas that we should see this, because

social distancing has worked. >> sandra: and we need a hopeful message, we are all in this together. congressman doug collins, thanks for coming on this morning of the best to your estate. >> toys good to be with you, take care. >> i'm here to voice my disagreement with what's going on in our state and nationally, and it's wrong. and i'm affected more so from this than most people because most people are getting stimulus checks. she is not taking care of small businesses like she says she is, she's not. >> ed: protesters outside of the home of gretchen whitmer calling on her to reopen the state. as local lawmakers ask her to consider curbing some of her emergency powers. charlie, good morning. do you think that

governor whitmer me be misunderstood, or maybe even underestimated how passionate people are about asserting their rights and making sure there is more of a balance here? >> you know, ed, these are certainly tricky times. there's plenty of room for debate among public officials whether it's between dr. fauci and president trump or the governor of georgia and president trump about how to approach this stuff. the problem comes when you have a politicians who appear to be acting in their political best interest. there's a lot of evidence to suggest that governor whitmer here is sort of jockeying to be in a good position to get picked by joe biden to be vice president. when you look at her decisions through that kind of lens it raises real questions about the wisdom of some of these orders. you know in michigan you are not allowed to buy seeds, for example. you are not allowed to plant a

garden. i would think that if there was anything that you wanted to encourage people to do at a time like this it would be to plant our court comic garden. you aren't allowed to go to your hunting cabin up north. there are all sorts of rules that raise real questions as to whether or not they are in the best interest of the citizen which is the only thing that matters, and that they adhere to constitutional guidelines, or issue motivated by something political. and if it's determined when all the smoke clears that she is motivated by something political will, this could come back to haunt her in very bad ways. >> ed: to your point remember she also gave the official response to president trump, to the state of the union, way before this crisis. that raised her stock politically and the democratic party and then she was talked about as a potential vp. gretchen whitmer approved 64%,

and disproved 42%. the president in comparison 45% approved. at that to the mix at a time when we are hearing today at the michigan legislature is having a special session in order to consider whether or not they should rein in some of her emergency powers. >> it's important to remember obviously that politicians are politicians. there's something inherently part partisan about them. but the problem comes when in an emergency like this -- i think voters whether they are in michigan or anywhere will give a lot of latitude to elected officials if they believe those elected officials are acting in the best interest of the people trying to do their best at an unprecedented time. the problem comes when you have somebody who appears to be making decisions that are more in line with trying to do what's best for them politically as opposed to what's best to get us

through this, as i said, unprecedented situation. we will see what happens with the legislature, obviously it's that republican legislatures so obviously there are politics there as well. but i do think that generally, reason tends to prevail among voters in situations like this. they are pretty good at assessing out what politician's motives are in a situation like this. >> ed: by the way we are expecting the governor in a news conference about 11:00 a.m. eastern. here's what she said about extending stay-at-home orders. >> we will likely need an extension of the stay home stay safe order. we've seen proof that loosening restrictions too fast can lead to a second. it happened during the flu pandemic of 1918 and happening in some countries around the world today. as hard as this is right now, a second wave would be devastati devastating.

>> ed: i read in china that they started opening things up and there were more infections and now they are cracking down again on people walking around and living their life. does she have a point? >> absolutely. being aware and being prepared for a second wave, but if you listen to the health experts it's clear that the real issue. but again, it goes back to how does of buying seeds at walmart have anything to do without? how does visiting with family members who are your immediate -- in your immediate surround anyway, how is any of that going to be a problem with the second wave if it's not even a problem currently? so those are the questions that she is going have to answer and i suspect the legislature is going to help her get to the bottom of some of those things. >> ed: absolutely. and we will watch it later today when they go back into special session. charlie hurt's, stay well. on >> sandra: severe weather

meanwhile slamming the south and it is not over yet. what florida can expect today. and exactly how widespread is coronavirus in new york? what a new antibody study is revealing about the extent of the outbreak. >> i don't give grim facts, i don't give happy facts. facts are facts. and when we started this i said the best thing i can do is to give people the truth. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete, 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.

the infection rate. 13.9% tested positive for having the antibodies. what does that mean? that means these are people who were infected and who developed the antibodies to fight the infection. >> ed: new york governor andrew cuomo discussing the states antibody test. the state has said that the virus arrived earlier than thought. good morning. >> good morning, ed. as you pointed out, we now have more clarity about the coronavirus. nearly 14%, 13.9% tested positive for antibodies of the coronavirus. that means, 2.7 million residents here in new york at one point or another had the disease. the numbers here in new york city are considerably higher, where 21% tested positive. andrew cuomo says the initial results are based on a random sampling of 3,000 new yorkers across the state. preliminary results show a death

rate and, a study by researchers in boston university said the virus was affecting americans earlier than previously thought. mid-february, 600 new york city residents had the disease. latest statistics show the number of fatalities in new york continuing to decrease as well as hospitalizations. while that is good news for emergency room doctors, it's good can still make concerned that those who are sick with an illness other than covid-19 they not be getting the help they need to. >> the volume has not been high over the past few days and it's almost concerning because we are wondering, are our normal patients at home getting worse and scared to come in or ar as everyone really okay. we are hoping that someone is not staying at home and trying

to avoid the hospital just because of covid. >> after spending three weeks in harlem's metropolitan hospital, this man has been discharged. the hospital posted this video showing staff cheering and celebrating her send-off. it's the type of scene we do not see often enough. by the way, garcia perez is 91. >> ed: david lee miller, thank you. >> sandra: meanwhile, the house overwhelmingly approving another massive stimulus package, sending it to the president's desk for his signature today. how are markets responded to that this morning? stuart varney will be joining us live for the opening bell on this friday morning, that's next. >> first and foremost to address the key issue of health. testing, testing, testing. contact tracing are the initiatives that are necessary that will be the key to open up

>> sandra: all right, it is friday morning and the opening bell has ru wrong on wall stree. stuart varney is joining us for a simulcast where you continue on your show on fox business and you join us here on the fox news channel. good morning to you. talk us through the markets this morning and this week. the treatment for covid-19 set markets on a wild ride. >> let me start with the markets overall. today it's back to work, some back to work in six states. the market likes that because it perceives that the economy is getting not to normal but rebounding on the other side of the virus. i think that has what has propelled this market up in the last few weeks.

looking on the other side, opening it up in six states today. as for gilead sciences that kind of upset the market yesterday when the news came through what they called a failed test in china. saying that that test was not in a large enough group of people. so they walked it back and doc siegel told me just moments ago that the remdesivir, the gilead sciences drug is best used in the early stages of the disease. so ever so slightly lower after a drop yesterday. >> sandra: the confusion was whether or not that highly promising treatment failed, which was originally reported and set markets on a wild ride or whether it was ultimately determined inconclusive because it had to end early.

meanwhile, we have another round of stimulus. what's that doing for markets and optimism about the economy when we put this all behind us? >> i think it helps the markets. we got another what $310 plus being pumped out there relatively quickly, it is the rescue. it's not a stimulus package, it's a rescue of the economy which is in the depths of despair right now. so the market likes that idea of rescuing the economy. however they are looking also at another round of big spending. i don't know how much it's going to be but they are looking at another stimulus or rescue package and that will be number five. there's a lot of bulking at that now. a lot of people are saying wait a minute. is it going to go to the right places, so the market is a little worried about another spending package. and they are pleased about the one that just passed.

>> sandra: stuart, you are so good at looking at perspectives, after we saw it well below the dow, 20,000 in the darkest days of all of this, we have, a long way. i know you give your take every day on your show. what is your big take right now in the situation as we wrap another week? >> you want me to forecast the stock market? [laughs] >> sandra: no, i'm not asking you to forecast. i love when you step back big picture of the situation and give us your take. if not the forecast but your take as we are going to see in another week. >> in my opinion, the conversation so to speak has changed. a couple of weeks ago it was gloom and doom, real negative stuff. we were heading into a chronic recession or even depression and that has shifted. we have a much more positive tone in our conversation about

the economy and the market because as i was saying earlier, we are beginning to see the other side. we are beginning to get back to work. we are beginning the opening up process. we are trying to do it safely but we are opening up and the market likes that and i think it will be very good for the economy. a shift in the conversation from negative to positive and i'm very much behind that. >> sandra: i like that, as we wrap up the week. it's interesting to see what happened down in georgia. we had doug collins, the congressman from georgia on. the president advising against it, it is going to be really something to watch the states and the local communities. final thoughts? >> in georgia, they have opened up jim's amongst other things. how many people are going t to ? with safety precautions, i want to see how many people are going back to shop in those places.

go to get their haircuts, and that's an assessment to the state of anxiety in america today and that's what i want to see. >> sandra: it's a great point. and how many of those places will put their own added restrictions just to put the environment safe for their employees and their customers. it's always good to catch up with you and i would never ask you to cut forecast the stock market although it always good to see where it's going. >> ed: meantime, in the race to find a treatment for the coronavirus the university of louisville is working on a potential research technology. we can actually lock the virus from infecting human cells. mike tobin's live from chicago with details. >> the researchers at the university of louisville are hoping that they can fast-track which would be a breakthrough in the treatment of the virus.

they are hoping they can fast-track it because it was developed years ago as a treatment for cancer. the treatment is a synthetic d dna, professors of the university of louisville says what it does is bind with the proteins in ourselves that the virus would use to live, replicate and thrive. so essentially crowds of angry south and doesn't give it a chance to do its thing. >> the protein and that is targeted by our drug is the one that helps our viruses. that blocks the ability of the virus and therefore blocks replication and infection in the cell.

the fda is overseeing 72 different clinical trials and treatments ranging from antivirals to drugs that stop the body's defenses from overreacting, things like too much swelling and of course you have heard about the antibodies and plasma and treatments along those lines. but dr. bates thinks that in the current environment things are moving along a little faster than normal. >> ed: mike tobin, thank you. sandra? >> sandra: covid-19 could not stop the nfl draft first rounds last night. did you watch it? heisman winner and lsu quarterback joey borough going number one overall to the cincinnati bengals. the draft was held in a unique setting with executive's and coaches all working from home. nfl commissioner roger goodell announcing that all the teams picked from his home, his basement, i should say, from new york. what a night it was.

we're here to help. ♪ >> ed: nursing home sounding the alarm on testing. at least 55 deaths from the pandemic but the ceo admits those were all presumed deaths because they have not been able to test anyone. just a brutal situation and here to help us try to make sense of

it is mark parkinson, the ceo from the national level ohmic center for assisted living. on the cover today it says maximum risk, 94% from the hospital had coping wit covid, y nursing homes with the least protected. how did this happen? >> well when it comes to testing unfortunately our residents and staff members have been ignored and it's a tragedy. our staff members are heroes and these residents are left from what is the greatest generation and he would have thought that they would have been placed at the highest priority level, because we early on that these congregant settings were dangerous. unfortunately that did not take place in with ben at the bottom of the priority list for both.

the good news is we can still make this better, if we can change these priorities and get testing and get equipment in these facilities, we can make this better. but the country will have to rally around the facilities to do this because if we had down the path that we are on right now there will be more tragedies. >> ed: i want to get to the prescription but let's talk about the problem and diagnosis. "the wall street journal" has a story about the brooklyn facility. they say the cobble hill health center chief executive said some staff for garbage bags for protection and some work 16 hour shifts and at times patients were dying so quickly that the center's refrigerated storage was beyond capacity, forcing workers to rotate bodies in and out as they waited for space at funeral homes or morgues. react to that. >> it's just an incredible tragedy. without testing, because you can have this virus without showing any symptoms, if we don't have

testing, we don't know who has died and so staff members are going out into the community and unwittingly and certainly unintentionally bringing that back into the facilities. to compound things we were also prioritizing equipment so we can have the mask, and we've been saying for two months you have to make these facilities a priority. if you don't, these tragedies will occur and now of course they are being blamed. we have got to give them the resources they need to fight this. >> ed: here in new york, and we've seen in washington state as well, tragic deaths in nursing homes. there was an order that governor cuomo put in that if there was a covid patient at the nursing home that went to the hospital, they had to go back to the nursing home, they had to accept them. it's a bigger issue, because some of these folks didn't have family to accept them. you can't just dump them out in

the street. but was it a smart idea to send these covid patients recovering back to nursing homes potentially to infect others? >> it's not. and we have encouraged governor cuomo and other governors to change them. the good side of this is the buildings that have the resources and equipment that they need have been able at times to manage this. there are thousands of folks that have been cured of covid in nursing homes. we encourage the governors to send covid positive patients to those buildings, that have separate wings and they just can't send a covid positive patient to any building whether it's ready or not. >> ed: also in the last 30 seconds we have, i promise to get to the prescription and you've touched on that. on the issue of testing wish her a message to folks like governor cuomo and president trump about what needs to happen to fix this? >> the impetus needs to shift

away from hospitals, now that major rush to hospitalization is ending. we have to shift the priority to nursing homes and test every single staff member and every single resident so we know who exactly has it so we can effectively fight this virus. >> ed: a very difficult issue amongst a whole bunch of tragic parts of this issue but we think you for your insight. >> sandra: mitch mcconnell meanwhile suggesting that states file for bankruptcy instead of receiving federal aid. new york's governor says he is not on board with that decision. >> this is one of the really dumb ideas of all time. just think of what he's saying. people died. 15,000 people died in new york. but they were predominantly democrats. so why should we help them? >> sandra: we will have more on the economic fallout and all that reaction next hour.

still some nostalgic drive-in theaters which are open, plain films which perhaps our most importantly allowing families to return to some fun out of the house for at least a few hours. the ocala drive and opened in 1948 and it's the only one in florida doing business right now. and it's selling out every friday and saturday night. social distancing is being maintained by reducing the number of vehicles inside and keeping them 14 feet apart. the owner says some nights he can even turn customers away. >> right now this is the one thing that people can do without worrying about getting infected or anything like that, and they can still get away from the house and have just a little break from the stress of being locked in. >> the concessions are open, to come up with popcorn, candy and sodas are well employees wear masks and gloves and they deliver the snacks right to your car or truck. the two screens run double features every night.

last week it was et and trolls, very popular amongst the kids which make up 90% of the crowd. you see the kids getting out there and they are playing and having fun but everyone seems to be staying within their family and spaced out. as for the state of florida reopening back to normal, the governor's task force has been having discussions every week, perhaps some sort of a decision next week. sandra? >> sandra: very interesting side of all of this. >> ed: many businesses like hair salons and gyms willga ope today in georgia. will it be back to business as usual, or not? pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now.

>> sandra: fox news alert on friday morning, georgia pushing ahead with a plan to allow some close contact surfaces to reopen using a month dow long shutdown, welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm sandra smith. >> ed: it great to see you as always and great to see everyone at home. the state of georgia becoming a flash point debate on whether to reopen the economy soon or slowly. barbershops come, nail salons, bowling alleys and other businesses are allowed now to reopen starting today. the president says he disapproves of the decision. >> president trump: i said it you make your own decision. i told him that.

i said you are not on the guidelines but i'm letting you make your own decision. but i want people to be safe and i want the people in georgia to be safe, and i don't want this thing to flare up because you are deciding to do something that is not in the guidelines. but i decided and we all agreed, they have to watch it closely so we will see what happens. >> in his defense governor kemp tweeted now with favorable data and approval from health officials we are taking another measured step forward by opening shuttered businesses for limited operations. i know these hardworking georgians will prioritize the safety of their employees and customers. griff jenkins joining us now. >> despite the presidents warning there and helped officials advising against this, folks in georgia looking to work out, get a haircut or tattoo can do so today. remember, to start the process is a 14 day consecutive decline in infections. while there are nearly 22,000

cases today in georgia looking at just this week. you can see the numbers increasing day by day. now, if you compare this to a month ago the cases were just in the hundreds. that's leading many to feel like this is going in the wrong trend. 881 people have died in the state so far. nevertheless with salons, jams and a tattoo parlors reopening it will be under safety guidelines that the governor outlined observing social distancing, wearing masks and spatial coverings and taking other precautions. while everyone wants to see the doors open ultimately not everyone is rushing to do so. market owner jerilyn morgan has real concerns. >> if we open up too early people will start getting sick again and then we will have to go through this whole thing again and then the economy will be worse off for a longer period of time. that's a no-brainer. >> kim takes another step forward on monday opening movie theaters and restaurants and a measure of the partial capacity.

meanwhile stephen bradberry says governor kim should be pressing the president for another direct payment. >> what he needs to be thinking about or asking trump about as a second round of stimulus checks. if doherty county is telling us to stay home, i mean, $1200 didn't go far. >> so governor kemp goes first but while being criticized by many he's stressing for business owners to make the safety of employees and customers the top priority. we will see how it goes. >> ed: meanwhile in michigan just crossing the wires, governor whitmer announcing she will extend the shutdown but she's giving in and lifting some restrictions according to her spokeswoman. we will stay on top of that in the governor will be speaking at the top of the hour hour and wel depend on that. >> i don't know at what point are economy and financial system collapses but i don't want to find out.

and i think there is a way -- >> yeah, open, and open safely. >> sandra: that was senator kennedy from louisiana telling sean hannity that it's time for america to get back to work as some states begin to slowly restart america's economic engine. 26 states so far planning to loosen at least some restrictions, nine of them moving to partially reopen their economies allowing some businesses to resume operations with certain precautions. chris wallace anchors "fox news sunday" and he joins us now. chris, good morning it great to have you here this morning. we will see what governor whitmer decides in michigan because we've all been watching that. we've been watching governor kemp in georgia, the president disagreeing with his decision to reopen some of these businesses where people are in close contact with each other. so i will ask the question of the day, the week, the year, whatever you call it. the pandemic itself, how and when do we reopen safely?

>> well i'm not a doctor, i don't even play one on tv. i don't have a clue. the president's guideline seemed prettsensible, that you need a y decline in the number of new cases and we don't have that in georgia. then you open in a very gradual way and they specify specifically the kind of things that you can reopen and the kinds of things you can't. you know, some states are saying, we could reopen for instance in maryland, the states -- that governor shutdown recreational boating. well you know you can socially distance was recreational boating, that's one of the things. golf courses, you are out in the open and you can socially distance. it's hard to see how you can socially distance if you are giving someone a haircut or if you are doing something in a nail salon or spa with a massage. so i think that's one of the reasons why the president came down pretty hard and quite

surprisingly on a governor he has very much back. some could say he's responsible for his political career, brian kemp, because he's way outside both in terms of the fact that the new cases are not declining, they are not on a downslope, and some of the things he's opening are not things where you can reasonably solve distance. >> sandra: it was interesting, we had georgia congressman doug collins up the top of the show this morning who is also in disagreement with the governor's decision there and doug collins as you know is running for the senate. i want to bring in bill barr because there's a lot of reaction to what he said on the hugh hewitt show, talking about some of these restrictions, like and some of it to house arrest for american citizens saying he is willing to further look into some of these restrictions. he said these are unprecedented burdens on civil liberties. the idea that you have to say in your house is disturbingly close to house arrest. i'm not saying it wasn't

justified or in some places it might still be justified but it is very onerous as it is shutting down your livelihood. so what about him looking into possibly some of these restrictions and shutdowns, infringing on our federal constitutional rights? >> i think it's not going to happen. i think it's talk on a talk radio show and i wonder about the attorney general engaging in that kind of talk. it's a legally suspect because if you look at when the president talked about, i have total authority to reopen the states, a lot of constitutional scholars on both the left and right noted that under the tenth amendment to the constitution the states have all the powers that are not specifically given to the federal government. this is not one that is given to the federal government and states have police powers. they close things down for public safety all the time. so there is a real legal issue there and it's also a health

issue. you look at what the president's own guidelines say and they talk about a very specific, very gradual approach to reopening. that's why governor kemp in georgia has run afoul. the idea that the attorney general of the united states is going to get involved with a lawsuit in an individual state that perhaps goes against the president's guidelines and goes against the tenth amendment for the constitution, i don't see that happening. >> sandra: very interesting. meanwhile the president himself is actually talking about extending some of the social distance and into the summer. here's a president. >> president trump: we may, and we may go beyond that. we will have to see where it is. i think people will know a lot out of common sense that at some point we won't have to do that but until we fill it safe, we will be extending. >> sandra: there's a lot of decisions to be made and you got another round of stimulus.

>> i was just going to say, look. i understand everybody's desire to reopen the country. i understand the enormous pain of the 26 million people who have filed for new uninsurance claims in the last five weeks. i understand the small businesses that may not make their rent, and on the other hand, if it's not safe, who can you rely on? i don't think you can rely on the attorney general, i think you have to rely on your top health expert. not saying they are all powerful but, anthony fauci has been in this business since the aids epidemic in the mid-80s. it seems to me that you have to rely on their best advice. and if they say opening or doing this particular thing is actually going to cause a spike in the virus then we are worse off in a health science and we are worse off in an economic sense. my advice, listen to the doctors. listen to the science.

>> sandra: it's interesting in some of these areas they are reopening to see some of the businesses themselves taking on additional restrictions they weren't even asked to just to keep their customers and employees safe. chris, what do you have coming up on "fox news sunday"? >> we have a fascinating show talking about these specific issues. first we will talk to the secretary of the treasury's steven mnuchin about the economic problems, about reopening and how you balance on the one hand i need to get this country going again to get people back to work, but also you don't want to restart or spike the pandemic. we will talk to governor kevin kevin stitt of oklahoma, he's also reopening his state. then we will bring back a top public health expert, a scientist and one of the leaders in epidemiology in this country, doctor, ingalls b of the john hopkins center for health security, and talk to him about all of this. how do you balance reopening,

and the understandable need to do it, with the need to keep america safe and do everything we can to get control of and stamp out the coronavirus. >> sandra: sounds like you have another great show planned for the weekend. chris, thank you. we will see you on "fox news sunday." ♪ >> ed: texas and oklahoma meanwhile both reopening some businesses today. the lone star state rolling out a retail to go program that allows customers to place orders and pick them out without going inside the store. in oklahoma they are going a a step further allowing salons, barbershops and spas to reopen with some stipulations. casey stegall's live in dallas with more. good morning, casey. >> lots of anxious and excited small business owners out here. this district dotting this area around long comic downtown dallas has been getting creative, this business with putting things out on social media like sales and pictures of merchandise saying

that they will be there to answer the phone and take payments over the phone. then, have you come up here and have curbside service delivery. dining restaurants and saloons and gyms are still closed across texas. today's retail to go concept is part of the phasing in process of gradually starting to reopen the economy and shops that have been closed for weeks are hoping to start cashing in on lost revenue. >> i have never wanted to be a shipping department and that's what i feel like right now, which i cannot complain because shipping and packing orders means that i have orders coming in, which is amazing. but i'm ready to reduce the cost of shipping, obviously come and see my customers. >> in the meantime a tale of two states just north of us opened in oklahoma were were there have been fewer covid infections,

much looser restrictions get lifted today. nail salons, barbers, spas are all open by appointment starting today. the governors of both oklahoma and texas are then expected to tackle the next phase next week, which is limited dine in restaurants, gyms, movie theaters and things like that. so a lot is starting to happen. as chris wallace just mentioned it's interesting that the georgia governor is getting so much heat because oklahoma is letting some of those intimate services like nail salons and things to open starting today and they are covid infection cases when you look at the numbers, they have not been on a sharp decline so they are not as large as georgia. so again, this just complicates the whole framework as a nation tries to get back to business. >> ed: absolutely. casey stegall, thank you. >> sandra: devastating storms on the move ripping through the south for a second straight day. >> i came back here and my home

is not there. this is the second worst storm that i went through. >> sandra: tornadoes leaving a trail of destruction across several states and we will have the details just ahead. plus, small businesses, some on the brink with mom-and-pop stores barely hanging on in some areas of the country as millions of americans are out of a job. struggling to get benefits. up next we will answer your questions on how to make a complex system work for you. hey! that's mine. i'll buy you a pony. advanced hydration isn't just for kids. pedialyte helps you hydrate during recovery.

>> ed: as americans grow anxious about the economy, there's so many questions on how to navigate it all. millions of people out of work trying to navigate a very complex system to get the benefits that the government says they are supposed to get it. joining us now, radio talk show host chris hogan. we appreciate it, and we've been talking all week about how we've been flooded with letters from people saying how do we get the small business loan. how do we deal with the unemployment insurance system? we appreciate you being here. let's go down quickly each one. yolanda from maryland owns a big

mama's soul food. if you haven't filed your 940, what other acceptable document can you file in order to be approved for this program, do you have any ideas about that? >> absolutely. it's a pleasure to be with you. yolanda, you can use your payroll tax forms to be able to substantiate what you've paid in payroll and what you've withheld in taxes so that form will definitely help you. i want to encourage you to be aware that this ppp, the payroll protection program, this is a loan. when you take on a loan, you will take on debt. i would encourage you instead of going that route there are two tax credits you can use right now to put cash in your pocket. the employee tax credit as well as payroll taxes will give you a boost to be able to help your business. >> ed: it's got it, that's important advice. we got another one from caroli caroline. even the $1200 stimulus check, i haven't gotten.

i was told to apply for unemployment even though i don't qualify for it. i'm in the system and was told i would be receiving some money, and then i was told i was getting something called pua. what this pick me up for the system or do i have to actually reapply to make sure i get money under this particular program? >> right. carolyn, you definitely want to reapply. you have to remember there have been 26.5 million people applying for unemployment but now with the pandemic unemployment assistance, this will help the economy, people that were self-employed. this program will not start until the 28th as you say, especially for california where you are. so definitely, be your own advocate, get online and continue to apply and be aware. typically the unemployment will pay $167 per week but in phase two you get the extra 600.

so you have an opportunity to help yourself. so get back online at definitely file. >> ed: be your own advocate it sounds like great advice. gerald is a diner owner in texas. he writes we are a small restaurant in houston. that's food and equipment and of course on top of labor and rent. according to grant guidelines we can't use the ppe funds for either food or equipment which doesn't add up especially since restaurants are one of the hardest hit sectors. how do you respond to that? >> gerald, you are absolutely right. it makes no sense. as a restaurant owner you can't use the ppe funds for food or inventory, 75% must be used for payroll. so instead of going that route of a loan, i would encourage you to get creative and go direct to the consumer with prepared meals. i talked to restaurant owners who are selling meals to go or selling their food for people to take home and cook themselves. it's time to pave it and think

different, don't bring data into an already stressful situation. >> ed: good advice there as well. scott run absolute dumb academic runs absolute amusement in florida. he says there's absolutely no mention of loan forgiveness. if i stay combined in those four corners of documents is it still a loan? which one is that, a loan or a grant? >> you have hit the nail on the head, it's ambiguous and confusing. whenever there is an interest rate associated with it, it is a loan. so what you have to do is be prepared to help yourself. you will bring in a hassle your life. who gets to decide when it's going to become a" grant?" protect yourself and your business. look for ways to be able to

provide service to your customers but don't add additional stress and strain of millions of dollars of a so-called grant. >> ed: very last thing, kind of big picture, a lot of the letters we have been receiving are about unemployment insurance. people are having a hard time navigating. florida in particular but other states as well. is there any big picture advice in terms of navigating the employment system? >> here's a reality. you have to be consistent and persistent and following up. you need to call them and i would continue to call constantly, and be online as well. florida especially has been difficult, 7 out of 8 people have been denied unemployment there an in that state alone. be your own advocate and be persistent and following up for yourself but at the same time be prepared to think of ways that you can bring in income for yourself. we cannot wait on the government to try to save the day, we have

to get our own cape and be focused on how to save ourselv ourselves. >> ed: a great advice as always, thank you so much chris hogan. >> sandra: good stuff there. the cdc is expanding the list of possible symptoms for the coronavirus. the new potential warning signs that we should all be looking for. every financial plan needs a cfp® professional --

>> ed: cleanup underway after a devastated weather system marched all across the south stirring up dozens of tornadoes. steve harrigan is live in atlanta with more details. good morning steve. >> this is the second night in a row the deep south has been hit hard by tornadoes across four different states. wednesday they were seven people killed, one tornado landing just 200 miles south of atlanta and knocked down trees. we hide in the wrestling room. i couldn't tell if it was on the house or if it was hanging out in the bushes. >> tornadoes also touched down in northern florida and a tornado was cited in southern mississippi and parts of south carolina got 5 inches of

rain. the city of charleston experiencing some flooding. 50,000 homes were without electric power and so far widespread damage, but unlike wednesday, no deaths were reported in the second night of tornadoes last night. >> ed: steve harrigan, thank you. >> 13.9% tested positive for having the antibodies. what does that mean? it means these are people who were infected and who developed the antibodies to fight the infection. 13% of the population, about 2.7 million people who have been infected. >> sandra: that was andrew cuomo during his briefing revealing preliminary results from the highly anticipated coronavirus antibody study. 3,000 people randomly tested come around 2.7 residents could have carried the virus.

dr. marc siegel is a professor of medicine at nyu langone health. doctor, good morning to you. this antibody study was so important because you have been saying all along as other medical experts have, we don't know who's been walking around with this and who is able to effectively fight it off. >> even more as shocking as what we in new york city. about 21% of people surveyed have antibodies and 21% projects out to what about 1.7 million people. this virus for most people, the predominant amount of people are asymptomatic or have mild and

moderate symptoms confused with something else. this means that the hospitalization rate and death rate especially as a much lower than what we thought it was. a wildly contagious virus that often presents without symptoms. i believe this initial survey results as probably accurate and tells us that we are building up, we are starting to build up some immunity in the population of the epicenter of new york. >> sandra: very interesting. i'm sure we will learn more from that as it goes on. grocery store clerks, workers that were already out in the public anyway, so we will learn more on that. meanwhile i want to ask you about some comments that president trump made specifically about the suggestion of injecting disinfectants into our body, using sunlight to cure or treat the coronavirus. he asked, is there a way you can

do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? there has been a lot of response and criticism from the media to those remarks. what did you think when you heard them and what did you think about that suggestion? >> i think that the president is not a physician and the point here is that this virus is easily disinfected on surfaces and it's killed by soap and water. there is no evidence that ingesting anything into your body is going to deal with that, and i will tell you why. once a virus is in the cells it spreading from cell to cell and he won't be able to kill it that way. that's why you are looking for and systemic treatments. ways to decrease the amount of inflammation that you see in small populations. small populations because as we just talked about, the vast majority of people have a mild case. the real way to fight a virus off is to sleep well, eat well

and exercise. a lot of that stuff we are not having trouble doing because we are under such stress. by the time the virus gets in it's already beyond that. >> sandra: so very clearly, your response is no one is suggesting that you do that and you are certainly not recommending that. kayleigh mcenany put out a statement in response to all the criticism and she said president trump has repeatedly said that americans should consult with medical doctors regarding their treatment, a point that they emphasized aga again. taking president trump out of context and run with negative headlines. she makes the case that somehow those comments were taken out of context and dr. siegel, i could tell you were trying to jump back in there. >> i just wanted to add one thing. the one thing you could probably do to prevent viral spread is to keep your nasal membranes moist. staying well hydrated is something we haven't talked

about enough. when you are dehydrated and dry the virus is getting more easi easily. >> sandra: very interesting. in the meantime there's more information on seniors and some of the symptoms that they are displaying such as dizziness, confusion, loss of appetite. doctor, these are obviously very important because first and foremost we need to identify the symptoms to know if we should be tested and if we are carrying the disease. >> sandra, this is hugely important. this is part of a study that showed among people being hospitalized in new york, over 5,000 people, only 30% had fever. only 30% had it marketed shortness of breath. well we thought that's what you had to have. people don't have fevers most of the time. a lot of times they have loss of sense of smell or taste, diary or nausea, and as you said they

may have headache and dizziness. it's not flu season anymore so when an elderly person comes to me and they just feel out of sorts, maybe they are dizzy or maybe they have a headache, maybe they have a nausea, especially if they have the loss of sense of smell, i start to think of covid-19. also, who have they been in touch with? were there with someone that we know how to case? were they with someone that had more classic symptoms? we have to do all of that as physicians to figure out who might have it and whom needs to be tested. >> sandra: is much as we have learned and as much has changed one thing has stayed consistent throughout this entire pandemic. if you are experiencing symptoms or you have questions about a treatment, call your doctor. dr. siegel, inc. you for taking our questions. >> ed: wall street capping off a busy week. you see the dow up just about 50 points right now and the house remember past that $484 billion

coronaviru484 billionthemis pacg an impact. a closer look at the market with charles payne is next. and what with the economic fallout bf states did that, rather than getting a bailout? >> president trump: vicious is saying when senator mcconnell said, this is a blue state bailout. i know that every single

time that i suit up, there is a chance that that's the last time. 300 miles an hour, thats where i feel normal. i might be crazy but i'm not stupid. having an annuity tells me that i'm protected. during turbulent times, consider protected lifetime income from an annuity as part of your retirement plan. this can help you cover your essential monthly expenses. learn more at protectedincome.org .

>> ed: and fox news alert come up on your money right now you see the dow is up and bouncing around in positive territory, and that's a very good thing. that's in part because of the latest stimulus. also wall street looking at earnings for various companies. charlecharles payne is the hostf "making money." i imagine states are starting to reopen and they have an impact as well. >> just a sort of sense of optimism, the dow jones industrial average was up 400 over 400 points and then the report came out that perhaps the gilead medicine wasn't working out that well in trials and we ended up unchanged for the day essentially. so that's sort of a hope component that has been helping to market a lot, even though we saw the latest in consumer

confidence. it was better than wall street anticipated and again i think it reflects the idea that we are going to start reopening, we will figure out how to beat this and i think it's more reflecting in the stock market than other places. >> ed: absolutely, the staggering unemployment claims though. when you see the market coming back there are a lot of workers who are not quite feeling it. >> of course not. but the market always moves before the economic damages completely cleared if you well. the market hit the bottom in march and the recession wasn't over until that summer. so it's not unusual for you to telegraph may be something better is going to happen, but we are in the midst of it. if you want to find -- certainly an improvement, the last four weeks, each success of unemployment number was a lot less than the other one. so we are moving in the right direction and it's time to start

looking for the inflection point. going back to work and getting the economy back on track. >> ed: we mention the latest stimulus, the president will sign at noon eastern time at the white house, talking about yet already at another stimulus package. here's how governor cuomo reacted to that. >> senator mitch mcconnell goes out and says me to the stage declare bankruptcy. okay, this is one of the really dumb ideas of all time. yes, small business is important, airlines are important and so our police and fire and health care workers. when you don't fund if the state than the state can't find of the services. >> there was tens of billions of dollars for states in a previous package which was not noted and on top of that as you know, i think what senator mcconnell was referring to impart where

some of these public pensions that had been mismanaged and various years. >> mitch mcconnell is worried about this becoming a sort of run on federal government and their resources, to pay for all of the spending. and we are not talking, i understand governor cuomo putting forth to police officers and nurses, but some of the spending that new york state has done for citizens and noncitizens and the debt that they have gone through, $139 billion in debt, california $152 billion in debt, that wasn't all for police officers. they want to run these individual countries and they have gone to a tremendous amount of debt over promising a lot of things. they raised taxes to the point that can't raise them anymore. businesses are leaving and productive citizens are leaving so mitch mcconnell is afraid that the states may use the pandemic emergency as an excuse

to raid the federal coffers which by the way, there's nothing there but at least they can print money. let's take care of the front line workers, no doubt. and there's a slippery slope here. , that will be hard for republicans particularly in an election year to not bail out some of the states. >> i can't imagine in all of the different programs we put together. they will be political pressure for additional funding, absolutely to help the states.

and it's unfair to say that they should pay bailout pensions and other kinds of debt that was spent for ideological reasons. some of living in wyoming may not agree, it may not with sort of thorough red carpet and open border policies of new jersey, new jersey, new york or california. those illegal aliens coming to their state, fine. thanks for coming in. >> sandra: thank you, eddie. keeping the faith at a distance. coming up we will speak with the priest who is speaking about how the church is moving forward in the age of covid-19. understands that home

is where i can be myself. and that feels pretty darn good. with rocket mortgage® you'll be as comfortable financing a home as you are living in one. rocket mortgage®. push button. get mortgage.® in these challenging times, we need each other more than ever. we may be apart, but we're not alone. use aarp community connections to find or create a mutual aid group near you. stay connected and help those in need.

>> ed: with all the social distancing guidelines in place people are getting creative of course how they practice their faith. many face opting for zoom confessionals or drive through confessionals like this one. father dan beeman is a priest at our lady of mark, mount carmel.

great to have you live streaming mass on easter sunday, drive-through confessions, it's a whole new reality. >> people of all phases are finding many more ways to connect online and being able to kind of find their faith and spent time with their families. for something unique for us as catholics for the sacraments of the church because those have to be in person. the church does, too, in the life of the sacraments so those can't be done. you can't have confession over skype, it's got to be face-to-face and there has to be a priest and a pen tenants, same the eucharist. same with holy communion, it has to be an in-person thing. so we have to get creative with how we make that possible. >> ed: there is creative and then here's what happened on april 22nd. huber eats drops off food and i

close the door. he knocks again and, he asked are you a catholic priest? can i go to confession before you eat? how did that play out? >> it was an incredible thing. i guess i should say that one of the things we promise and confession is anonymity. he was wearing a mask and a hat and i have no idea who he was because he came to the door. it was one of those things where i don't know his situation or what was going on in his life but he wasn't able to get to a church and get to confession. when the priest opened the door i don't imagine he expected that. after the door closed he took a deep breath and said a prayer and thought i better knock while i have the chance. what an opportunity for incredible grace. it was a neat encounter. >> ed: i know you can't discuss the details of confession but i have to ask you this because my colleagues have been asking, what was the food, what did you order? >> it was chinese food that

night. >> ed: any particular dish? >> chicken with broccoli, we have to go at least somewhat healthy. [laughs] >> ed: pope francis during holy week spoke directly to young people and reference health care workers and he said that people should feel called to put their lives on the line. don't be afraid to devote your life to god and others, it pays. do you think there will be spiritual reawakening? >> i'm beginning to see it, i think it's true. i told my own bishop here in the diocese of richmond, virginia, and i said i don't know what to make of it, more people are watching mass than coming to mass when they could've. but there is a beauty in that. pope francis has been an incredible leader of this, of just the voice of encouragement and young people are listening, they are listening to a holy father who can speak directly to them and they may not have been hearing his voice previously even if he was already saying

those things, but they are now. i think we will see people realize especially with the sacraments of the church, you realize you can't have something you have always had. and praise god for that. >> ed: cardinal dolan in new york has been joking that people are getting used to the live stream and they can have cocktails during mass. they will have to get used to coming back without the cocktail. thank you, father. >> sandra: all right, wonderful story there. meanwhile as congress passes another stimulus bill amid fallout from the virus, mark cuban says more needs to be done. the billionaire dallas mavericks owner of joining us live next hour with his thoughts. fastsigns understands the burden this difficult time has been on essential businesses due to covid-19

>> i still have an area in my part of georgia where my district is and where i live, we are still seeing increases in patients. it needs to be a measured approach. it's not about letting it open back up, it's about citizens actually feeling comfortable by going to the businesses as well. >> ed: fox team coverage, john roberts has the latest from the white house but week begin with jonathan serrie. good morning jonathan. >> good morning to you. president trump says he is a these businesses include tattoo parlors and hair salons, and fitness centers. but he says that it's too soon. the president had a private conversation with the governor, president trump describes what he said. >> president trump: i'm letting make your own decision but i want people to be safe,

and i don't want this thing to flare up because you do something that is not in the guideline. >> is governor kemp tweeted for weeks, i working closely with the administration. our decisions and directions are informed by data and public health recommendations. not everyone is rushing to reopen, the owners of this atlanta barbershop say they are not ready until they can acquire proper safety equipment and the ymca is giving its metro atlanta member facilities close while it redesigned spaces to promote social distancing. >> when we are assured that you can be safe, we will open our doors. until then, please be patient with us. we might have to go slow to then go fast. >> coming back to our live shot here, this restaurant is open for take out only and that may

change on monday. the governor's executive order may allow some restaurant dining services provided the restaurants can maintain social distancing. so it will be interesting to see which restaurants invite customers back inside again and how many customers feel safe going back indoors. back to you. >> ed: absolutely big issues i had i had to come jonathan serrie, thank you. >> sandra: just about one hour from now president trump will be signing that nearly half trillion dollar aid package. chief white house correspondent john roberts is joining us live from the north long as we anticipate that. >> good morning sandra. i think the perspective of the president is better late than never. an hour from now he will be signing that new plan which re-ups the small business administration paycheck protection plan. the president saying he has been anxious to get it done and would have liked to have had it done last week because he wants to get money into the hands of small business owners so that

they can hang on to their employees. listen to what he said. >> president trump: i'm grateful that congress is answering my call to deliver these additional $320 billion and really for the american worker and for small businesses. at a time when many americans are enduring significant economic challenges, this bill will help small businesses keep millions of workers on the payroll. >> so here's how it breaks down, about $310 billion for the small business administration paycheck protection plan, $60 billion in so-called idle emergency loans. $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for testing. neither president trump nor congressional democrats say that is going to be enough. both are looking ahead to a phase four stimulus package. the president wants face for to be a $2 trillion infrastructure investment, tax relief restaurants, entertainment and sports and a payroll tax holiday

for employees. democrats say that by holding out on the ppp bill as they did for more than a week they got some of what they wanted including the money for hospital and testing and in a phase four bill they will hold out for money for the states. >> our heroes, the health care, police, firefighters and transportation workers and the rest. >> mitch mcconnell says he has no interest in helping bail out the states from problems of their own making suggesting that they might want to consider going through bankruptcy. new york's governor mario cuomo saying if he were to declare bankruptcy that could take the markets and the idea is one of the stupidest things that he's ever heard. sandra? >> sandra: john roberts, thank you so much. >> we have undertaken the

largest most cumbrian's of study of new york state to find out what is the infection rate. sample size so far of 3,000 people statewide. what we have found so far is the statewide number is 13.9% tested positive for having the antibody. 13% of the population, a 2.7 million people. >> ed: that's a startling revelations showing preliminary data shows millions of new yorkers could have already been infected with covid-19 and another study shows that it could have been infecting us long before we were aware of the danger. the headline hidden outbreak spread far through u.s. cities long before we were aware. joining us as the director of the science institute in new york university and part of the team behind this research. alessandro, we appreciate you coming in. >> good morning, thanks for

having me. >> ed: it's great to have you. on one hand there could be people going through this crisis saying, it's sooner than we thought and to some of that is trivia to them. they are are dealing with the crisis here and now but we want to get at the heart of this. what does the data show that our viewers should know? there might be information that helps guide us through this. >> you know, what we found from that is that the epidemic arrived on some of the hot spots on the east coast and west coast probably in mid-january or in some cases earlier. then the epidemic spread invisibly through the population locally. so that's the major lessons we have because we don't want that to happen again. at that time, no county had the capacity to do larger scale testing and that was indeed happening in europe as well. but now for returning to normal life, we need to avoid having

those invisible spreading chains through the county. >> ed: now that we have a better handle on it, here's some more of the data from northeastern university looking at different cities. cases as of march 1st uc boston at 2300, seattle the same, chicago 3300 and san francisco a big number of 9300. as we all heard it, new york city is over 10,000 and that still increasing. my question there is, a lot of those cities have a lot of people. what has separated say san francisco and new york city where there has been far more cases? >> a major factor is the level of conductivity with respect to the world. the larger is the traveling volume of people from other counties and the larger probability to import some of

those invisible infections in the city. new york, chicago, los los angeles, they are highly connected hubs and they have started their first. and, through domestic traveling it does spread to other places in the county. >> ed: if there is also the question of what people are actually dying from. is it covid-19, are there other illnesses they've been battling, pre-existing conditions? in the flip side of that being governor newsom out in california wondering because of the data you are presenting to us that may be people back in january or february were dying of the covid-19 and we didn't know about it. here's governor newsom and i will let you react. >> we have directed beyond santa clara to go back as far as december to request corners autopsy to dig even deeper. a guided, deeper understanding

of when this pandemic really started to impact californians. it's important forensic information, profoundly significant in terms of understanding of epidemiology. >> ed: do you believe we can get that information, how hard is it to piece together and what will it show us? >> well you know, december is possibly unlikely, it's a very tiny probability to go back that far. i would say early january would be possible a at this point givn the number we are seeing these days, and this is a time where actually we almost didn't know about the epidemic yet. >> ed: i got under 30 seconds, where are we now? we've gone through the projections that have been bouncing around in terms of predicted deaths over the summer. where do you believe we are in

terms of flattening the curve? >> while we are flattening the curve so the number of cases is going down and you know, we have to be more patient to see that that's going down. that it's delayed by a couple of weeks or three weeks. so i think this situation is improving. we need to be patient and double down the effort. contrary to things like a hurricane which we cannot do anything to change its trajectory. a foreign epidemic what we do is important, we can change the trajectory of an epidemic. we have to be thinking of the future. >> ed: be patient, double down and be optimistic. that's a great way to end of the week. sandra? >> sandra: brand-new claims from president klumpp about the health of kim jong un on as if north korea now faces mounting skepticism over its coronavirus cases. we will have a live report on the latest there. plus calls for a federal minimum wage hike from someone who

usually dislikes big government. mark cuban with his ideas on bringing back the u.s. economy. >> as long as we all play by the same rules and lift up people from the bottom, to me that's what will drive the economy more than government pushing down from the top. 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.

>> president trump: to keep america gaining momentum, we need continued diligence about an essential part of our strategy to get our country back to work. to take our country back. >> sandra: president trump there with a message to americans as a handful of states begin to reopen, hoping to spark the u.s. economy. my next guest is known for his dislike, usually, of big government. he is usually saying expanding federal policies may be a necessary tool. let's bring in mark cuban, owner of the dallas mavericks. we've been hearing a lot from you lately. you are now advising the president as part of the economic council to open up america again, so what are your ideas about federal wage and increasing those federal

unemployment claims? >> in terms of federal wage, the minimum wage has to go up to $15. i recognize it's not going to impact everybody, people are making more on average, but we need to bring them up. this is such a unique situation where consumerism and retail sales just stopped. we need to have people at the bottom having money so they can spend it and they can live their lives, so many people are having to go on unemployment and other government services about it. >> sandra: you look at some of the state minimum wages and you are talking about a number that's a significant increase from a lot of companies. so mark, have you thought this through on what the economic impact or the unintended consequences of something like that? >> the unintended consequences that in most communities, more people have more money to spend on this but that locally. so you see communities and their

economies improve. that's the first primary improvement, and second, not everybody is at the lowest dollar amount. only 770,000 people across the entire united states that makes the federal minimum wage $7.15. so for most people it's not going to be the change, and for most people who need it, it's a huge change and it changes their lives. it also takes them off of government services. i said to you know what, who are we not paying $15 an hour to because we need to change that? i don't want my employees getting government services at all. >> sandra: we are seeing a huge discussion across the company right now about how we open up and what it looks like when we open up, the roadblocks that we might hit. how are you advising the president right now based on your business knowledge of how we can do this safely.

>> i think a lot of this is a presentation problem. we know that dark drop-off and pickup works. mixing it with restaurants and grocery stores. so rather than saying opening things up, we should be saying let's extend drop-off and pickup's to any company that is able to sell that way because it just changes the dynamics. so if you are a hardware store and you want to sell and you put it on the curve, then you can do it through delivery, great. that just extends what we learn from restaurants. for people who want to open it up to restaurants, that's a mistake. >> sandra: why do you say that, because people can't maintain social distancing? >> it's far more than that. say you have a retail store, say someone try something on and decides not to buy it and puts it back on the rack. three months ago that was no big

deal. how do you dispose of that? is it hazardous materials or you just stick it in the trash? what type of risk does not create? and the regular retail environment, the air conditioning, what type of filtering system do they have? do they have the type of drink system where it just resurfaces and re-circulates the virus? there are so many things that we have to address other than just social distancing that we haven't even taken into account yet. we haven't done anything with those protocols and that's a huge problem to make things far worse. >> sandra: we just had a banner on the screen, 26 million filing for unemployment claims in the last five weeks alone. we know that historically speaking that is a huge number. the vice president suggesting the worst of this pandemic could be behind us as soon as memorial day, beginning of summer. what are you looking out as far as getting all of those unemployed millions of americans that have been laid off back to

work? >> federal jobs program. the reality is we never had an abrupt stop like this, we've never seen businesses come to a complete halt, everything stops. the only way that's going to change like we saw in the 30s as the federal jobs program. again, that's not what i like but it's a reality. i will give you the perfect example, tracking and tracing. we are already seeing the states trying to do things, michael bloomberg is paying for things on a small basis but we need millions of those people, not just the track and trace right now but going into the future. if this is a seasonal thing and we see it every year next to the flu then we need people who have been trained and not only doing testing but also the tracking that's about to be able to provide information. that's not all examples, there are other examples as well. we may have 26 million in files

claimed but we have 26 million total. it's against my core libertarian principles but that's the new normal and we will have to do things differently. >> sandra: knowing you, it hurts me. it literally hurts me, we've never seen a situation like this, ever. >> mark cuban, i appreciate your time this morning, great to see you. >> thanks for having me on. >> ed: meanwhile new questions this morning about the health north korean dictator kim jong un. there are reports that coronavirus may have also hit the hermit kingdom harder than previously thought if you know north korea claims it has had no cases so far.

our senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is live with all that. >> that's right, the mystery of covid-19 and north korea continues, despite being surrounded by countries like china and south korea which had been infested with the virus. north korea in one of the worst health systems in the world has stated it has had zero cases. but recently, it merged that internal lecture being given to the north korean people by the government, have informed them that that there are indeed infections in the north and south of the country as well as pyongyang. this could backup reports that we have been seeing about death and soldiers and prisoners even in the capital, all of this despite governors sealing off the borders and launching draconian actions aimed at saving lives. >> i would say look at what the

regime is doing and saying. that along with losses and they shake the frail economy and a society and destabilize the nuclear armed rogue nation. president trump said he thought kim was an okay shape. this week a member of the joint chief of staff said that he thought he was in control, so much that kim's absence, he hasn't been seen in nearly two weeks, it might not have anything to do with the heart operation. he could just be us sheltering in place. he hasn't been seen for two weeks and this is the third time he's gone to ground in this

pandemic. >> sandra: as we all know it's usually a bustling tourist season this year but with social distancing in place many are turning to an old-fashioned form of entertainment. plus attorney general bill barr revealing his thoughts on stay-at-home orders as protests against those orders hop up across the country.

blast from the past, drive-in theaters are now selling out so families can leave home while maintaining a proper social distance. phil keating is following the story from florida for us this evening. hey phil. >> good morning sandra. movie theaters have been closed and locked up for nearly six weeks now and film production around the world has stopped. the drive-in theaters are open and perhaps most importantly allowing families to return to some fun off the couch. the ocala drive-in which opened in 1948 is the only one in florida operating right now, selling out every friday and saturday night. social distancing is still maintained by reducing the number of vehicles inside by 50% and keeping them 14 feet apart. the owner says business is booming but he's only making about half of what he should.

>> right now this is something went people can do without worrying about getting infected or anything like that and they can still get away from the house. they have a little bit of a break from the stress of being locked in. >> remember that smell of buttered popcorn? while the concessions are open, too. popcorn, candy, sodas, all wall masks and employees where masks and gloves. the employees, happy to be working, walk your snacks right out to your car and truck. the two screens run double features nightly, and this night it was et and trolls both popular with parents and kids, 90% of with the limited crowd. >> we try to bring the family out with me and have fun. >> back in the day we called this the picture show.

>> and for the brothers, sisters and cousins as well as the parents they get to escape the house locked down at least for a few hours. all week long florida's governor has been discussing with industry leaders and estate leaders on when florida can start to open up things like movie theaters and everything else. perhaps today they will have a decision on what florida is going to do which would be as similar as what georgia is doing today or perhaps what you just heard from the governor in michigan. we will see next week. sandra? >> sandra: does families enjoying a flick outside now. phil keating, thanks for that story. >> ed: amid those growing protests in various states against stay-at-home orders, the attorney general is weighing in on the restrictions stemming from the pandemic. >> we listen carefully to a number of these rules being put into place and as one goes too

far we initially tried to jump on the governors to roll them back, and we will file a statement of interest and side with the plaintiffs. as these things emerge in the states we will take a look at them. >> joining us now is ian pryor. we appreciate you coming in. the attorney general million to william barr weighing in there and chris wallace was on last hour saying he believed that it was shaky legal ground of the attorney general was on and he didn't quite understand why he was weighing in at all. how do you answer that? >> i think with the attorney general is doing here is he is not necessarily any one thing is onerous or not, but that we are in sort of times that we have not seen probably since world war ii where a lot of these restrictions are certainly going to be burdened on civil rights. nojust because something is a burden on civil rights doesn't mean it's unconstitutional, and

just because the state is doing something to protect people doesn't mean it is unconstitutional. so he's saying i will look at these restrictions and if something starts to go over what we think is a constitutional line, we will begin to talk about municipality or the state. if that doesn't work and someone brings a lawsuit then we will look at weighing in. >> ed: i wonder if he's tipped a has hand a bit, in terms of the pendulum and how it swinging because he said it was close to this. >> the idea that you have to say in your house is disturbingly close to house arrest. not saying it wasn't justified or in some places it might still be justified but it's very onerous as it is shutting down your livelihood. >> ed: this is something we sing with protests around the country. but to say it's close to house arrest when the president and white house would save may be reluctantly, but they had to do

because it was a health crisis. >> this is interesting. the story should be used in constitutional law classes throughout the country for the next 50 years. but we have to look at is when we have things like house arrest, is that the most narrowly tailored solution? that's the constitutional test. in some cases it may be and that's what the attorney general was saying. in some cases perhaps not leaving her house is the most narrowly tailored solution we can get to preventing the spread of coronavirus which is a compelling government interest. so maybe in a place, a highly dense place where people are leaving their house, it's not such a great thing. but if you are in wyoming or a rural area, is that the most narrowly tailored solution to this compelling government interest? i think that's where you have to look at it. you have to see, is this something that's actually helping the situation or, is it too broad in allocation? in many chances it could be depending on the circumstances. >> it depends on whether it's too broad.

maybe the attorney general had a point because as we reported a moment ago, the michigan governor under pressure is now saying maybe some of it went too far and she's pulling back. >> absolutely. and perhaps, what he did effectively was kincaid a warning that every state government or city and town really needs to look at these restrictions and make sure that they pass constitutional muster. i'm sure that the federal government does not want to get involved in this case or intervene in lawsuits but the fact is they have job to protect the constitution and make sure all the municipality are doing their job as well. >> ed: ian pryor, thank you. >> sandra: governor andrew cuomo of new york is giving his daily press briefing and he just updated a moment ago on the number of coronavirus deaths in his state. at 422 on april 23rd and that was yesterday. he says that we continue to see a downward trend, we are on the

way down says a governor. how fast that continues, and he went on to say if we reopen tomorrow, progress could be gone and he's also talking about the next wave of potential next wave of this. we will talk about the governors word coming from albany, new york, the governor of new york, and we will bring you news from it as we get it. >> ed: in the meantime, a fox news alert. at the president is set to sign a nearly half trillion dollar stimulus bill, yet another relief package. as small businesses struggle to stay afloat amid the pandemic, we will review that, live, once it starts. i've got great news for veteran homeowners.

♪ >> president trump: we have a lot of great, brilliant minds working on this, both from the standpoint of a vaccine and therapeutics. we must be careful in all conditions but we will get this done. >> sandra: president trump they are saying that scientists are getting very close to a vaccine for coronavirus. this is as one potential vaccine enters human trials right here in the united states that was fast tracked after they made that genome sequencing of the virus public. he is part of a group working on that vaccine. doctor, thank you so much for your time this morning.

we know you are all incredibly busy trying to make progress on this, what update can you give us? >> good morning sandra. we've made the funding for the project, and that was the week of april 3rd. and now it has been enrolling well in the first human trials which are at two sites, the university of pennsylvania and kansas city. >> this is being fast tracked to be clear, but we have heard anywhere from a year to 18 months, we are out from having an effective vaccine. where do you think we stand that today? >> that's an important question.

as many people have said it will take a year to a gear and a half to get a license vaccine. however i think as we go through the steps we are going to learn a lot. for example, once this trial is fully unrolled, in june, we expect to be analyzing and doing the data from the first study as a team and to plan for an efficacy trial to initially start in the summer. and of course that will start to push us down the road towards what we know when these first trials are going well. >> sandra: this is very interesting. this is a quote which is also part of working on this vaccine along with your group, doctor. we immediately started testing the vaccine in the lab and we were quite confident about the house that we had seen.

and, about how that impacts the vaccine design. could you give us a little bit closer of an inside look about what exactly that means and what we could be looking for? >> i'm happy to do that. what we were looking for as we move forward toward the clinic, we did many studies as in supporting them in animal studies to see the type of antibodies, to prevent infection that would be induced. as well as this platform is good at driving killer t cells, and we then went through different animal testing. and in the clinic, that's exactly what the team is doing now. after that june. we will be examining that people will make the same types of responses and also attacking the virus through killer t cells.

and those will then -- as well as safety. so that's a very, very important. the first trial is safety and that i mean of analysis. >> sandra: incredibly important work that you are all doing. thank you for taking the time and explaining the progress you're making for that vaccine this morning. doctor, thank you so much. >> ed: for at least a few hours a little bit of normalcy in the sports world. the nfl holding the first round of the draft last night at virtually of course. we will break down what happened with jared max, that's next. >> come on, you guys can do better than that. keep it coming. 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.

>> with the first pick in the 2,020 draft, the cincinnati bengals select joe burrow, quarterback, lsu. >> ed: and no real surprise there, cincinnati gets his man for ohio. first overall in an unusual nfl draft, commissioner roger goodell announcing picks from his basement in new york. players, coaches and general manager watching from their own homes instead of las vegas where it was supposed held. let's bring in jared max, lots of takeaways. one for me was, a lot of the players didn't seem that excited. i don't know if there was like a delay from when their names were announced, they all seemed pretty subdued. maybe it has a different feel. >> good morning again and great to be with you. i think it had just a little bit of a different feel and maybe just a little bit of a delay. i think a lot of people tuned in last night to see what kind of live bloopers could be experienced and for the most

part the nfl pulled it off. start to finish coming from the national anthem to harry connick jr., it was a great way for the head coaches, and as expected, joe burrow from lsu, originally ohio state, goes number one overall to the cincinnati bengals. and i know a lot of people say this is the next best thing for the bengals, but it's important to remember. tom brady picked a 2,000 draft when in the sixth round, 199th all time. picking a college talent who will translate and become nfl superstars, you might have better luck knowing when we will all get back to normalcy in our world. it's an art, and a science. i'm sure he's a happy man today. in the nfl we have the afc and the nfc, it's like the sac joining them.

people wonder what's the most powerful conference in college football, 15 players in the first round and they shattered their own record. if you have five players from lsu, four players from alabama and three of the first six players taking the draft for the quarterbacks. and it just in herbert of oregon joins the los angeles chargers, the next version of philip rivers perhaps. and how about the green bay packers? this is interesting. the packers made a trade up so they could go with 26 and picked for the first time a quarterback in the first round, first time they've done that since 2005. they go with jordan love out of utah state, possibly the predecessor that the packers had taken in the first pick in 2005. >> also interesting that the first three picks started in ohio state. i don't want to leave out, he said bill hemmer is happy that the bangles have a new
