i want to ask people to focus on facts, not fear. avoiding rumors and speculation as new coronavirus cases are announced. >> people at higher risk should avoid mass gatherings. >> keep your hands clean. just be careful where you're going if you're sick. today, thousands awaiting word on the coronavirus tests now have their answer. >> 46 persons were swabbed. 21 of those on the ship tested positive for the coronavirus. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil. >> i'm a.m. daetz. you heard vice president pence say there were 21 positive tests out of the 46 people tested on the grand princess cruise ship set to dock in san francisco. 19 are crew members, two are passengers. there was one test that came in >> the ship will not be sailing back to san francisco.

it will go to a noncommercial fort and all of the passengers and crew will be tested. >> there are more than 3500 people on board and the grand princess is off the coast of san mteo right now. san mateo county. while giving the update on the tests, vice president pence thanked california for its help. >> i want to express our gratitude to governor newsom and the state of california for their full partnership, not just in dealing with the grand princess, but throughout the advent of coronavirus. california has been a strong partner. >> the grand princess was returning to san francisco after a 15-day trip to hawaii. a man who sailed to mexico on the same boat last month died of the coronavirus. >> abc 7 news reporter kate larsen spoke with passengers today. she's live in san francisco. kate, what have they been telling you? >> reporter: well, right, passengers are just learning about this news.

most of them heard it on tv first. they just heard from the ship captain a few minutes ago. what we do know and they know is that yesterday the testing took place on this cruise ship. there's 3500 people on board who were then waiting for 24 hours to get this news which could determine their fate for really the next two weeks and of course, an hour ago learning that 21 people did test positive for coronavirus was certainly not the result that everyone was hoping for. take a look yesterday. national guard helicopters flew from moffitt field to the grand princess, which is circling in the pacific off the northern california coast right now. the helicopters flew in tests for 45 passengers on board on the first leg of the cruise from fenn 11th to the 21st. most of the people boarded on february 21st in san francisco for the second hawaiian leg of the cruise. the tests were then processed at a lab in richmond yesterday. then we got those results, of course, an hour ago.

now, i just spoke to john and lori miller by phone. we video message chatted. they both live in sacramento and are currently quarantined in their grand princess room. >> it's the worst possible noous news we could have gotten that there was serious enough of infection detected that we can't go to port, disembark and go home. >> i find it frustrating we're hearing this on tv and no announcement here at all. >> passengers have sent me photos of today's lunch delivered by servers in face masks because every meal has to be delivered room service-style. i'm told it's taking up to four hours to get food. the ship is also distributing activity kits to keep people busy while they wait quarantined in their rooms. it is still not clear how long people will be quarantined or when they will be getting tested because that's what passengers i spoken to believe the next steps are. we do know that the ship will not be coming back here to pier

27 in san francisco. we believe that eventually it will go to a noncommercial port somewhere. locations still to be determined. live in san francisco, i'm kate larsen, abc 7 news. kate, thank you. right now, there are at least 51 cases of coronavirus in the bay area. santa clara county has four more. contra costa reported three more today. two of the people were on the grand princess last month. the other person came into contact with a patient. we should make a note about napa as well. no one from the county is sick. but two people are being treated there. health officials are warning people, take precautions. >> people at higher risk should avoid mass gatherings, such as concerts, sporting events or parades. this advice does not apply for people going to work in an office building or going to the grocery store or the mall. places where people can usually stay more than an arm's length away from another.

>> contra costa county health officials say the three new cases did not require hospitalization. they're still trying to figure out how the first person to get infected in the county actually got the virus. >> there's been mixed reaction to a call by santa clara county to cancel large group events to prevent coronavirus from spreading. there's even confusion over the definition of a large gathering. >> abc 7 news reporter, david louie joining us with how organizations are responding to this. the sharks x last night, david, they said we're going to play our game. >> reporter: yes, that is true, larry. ama, that is correct. we went to officials to clarify their position. they said no one was available. where does that leave things? the sharks, as you arein play minnesota united. yet, a career fair for young people scheduled for downtown hotel tomorrow has been canceled. so a critic is saying, while the county is well-intended with recommendation, it's leaving a lot of confusion.

>> no specific numbers were given to define what a large gathering is. but a sharks game was mentioned as an example. it was a recommendation not a mandate to postpone or cancel large events to prevent the spread of coronavirus. while there's no apparent penalty for noncompliance, legal analyst steven clark believes there are more difficult questions being raised. >> if a company does have a meeting and someone happens to contract coronavirus, is that company now going to be sued because they didn't follow these recommendations? and suppose an employee says i'm not coming to work? you know, are they going to be able to be fired or do they have to be paid for not coming to work? >> people in downtown san jose couldn't agree what a large gathering is. this man thought it was too early to cancel events. >> at the discretion of the entity. you shouldn't be able to tell them to or not to at this point in time. if it gets worse, yeah, they should be advised to cancel events. >> san jose will keep libraries

and the happy hollow zoo open. children's discovery museum is worried it could be hit if they decide to stay away. it's closed until tuesday as someone on the staff may have been exposed to covid-19. it takes $25,000 a day to run the popular museum. >> we rely upon the revenues at the gate. the admissions fees, the memberships, food sales to offset at least half of that every day. so the financial implications are quite big. >> reporter: there is some guidance, however, by some of us. some are recommending that those who go to gomes scheduled, if they're over 50 years old with an underlying medical condition, they should consider not attending. those are the age groups and the individuals who are considered at risk. live in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. david, thank you. san francisco is keeping a close eye on the virus and the possibility it could force

events to be canceled. >> the city is setting up a new way to alert people about the outbreak. cornell barnard is joining us in san francisco with how that will work. cornell. >> reporter: we're live outside the emergency management office in san francisco. san francisco is now sending the latest information on covid-19 to your phone if you want it. the covid-19 hotline basically is now up and running. take a look. this is how it works. the system will not only allow city officials to send real-time information to the public concerning the virus. you can sign up to get the text messages by texting what you see on your screen. coe vitt 19 sf. to 888-777. system will not only issue information and instructions about the virus, it will tell y cancellation of major events. >> prepare the information like making sure that you do regular

cleaning or you wash your hands or, if there's any kind of announcements that the city needs to make, we'll go ahead and use that channel. >> there was a kickoff to the annual st. patrick's day parade next weekend. mayor london breed was in attendance. at this point the parade is still on schedule. supervisor matt haney says there are real concerns about the coronavirus. >> i think we have to be cautious and vigilant and really follow the guidance of the health officials. but you know, something like this, which is a celebration that happens every year, raising the irish flag, st. patrick's day parade, i really hope this is something that can continue. >> reporter: we just got confirmation that a big event scheduled for this weekend has been officially canceled. the healthy hearts run for sunday morning has been

canceled. it's scheduled for crissy field. it's canceled due to the coronavirus. other events that have been canceled, we'll talk about that tonight at 6:00 on abc 7 news. live in san francisco, cornell barnard, abc 7 news. thank you, cornell. hours ago, austin, texas canceled the south by southwest music festival set to begin in a week. the children's museum is closed because bun one of the employees may have been exposed to coronavirus. yolo county, new coronavirus case. the university of washington is suspending classes because of the coronavirus. they'll no longer meet in person. classes will be held online. one student tested positive for the virus. the school has said what impact this might have on other activities. the sonoma marin area transit district is wiping down trains twice a day now because of coronavirus. smart train officials say they

coronavirus having a good news, bad news on -- >> airline stocks are taking a beating. the good news for travelers, fares are coming down to keep people traveling. >> eric thomas joining us live at sfo with that part of the story. eric? >> reporter: catch these numbers. the international air transport association, that's the trade group for airlines, estimates that worldwide the coronavirus scare could cost $113 billion to the industry. that's the bad news for you. the good news for you, in order to keep the planes flying and in order to make what money they can, they're bringing those fares down. check the airline websites. united, alaska, delta, offering to waive cancellation and change fees through march in hopes you'll travel later in the year.

time for consumer news. michael finney here with people concerned about coronavirus and travel. on a personal note, you can see the behavioral changes because you just wiped down this entire area. i mean, nothing -- anything threatening that was here is long gone. i can promise you that. >> everybody is walking around with tissues in their hands and they're smart. smart. >> you got to take precautions. >> wow. look, if you're still going to travel during this coronavirus scare, then listen to this. this is advice from consumer reports. before going to the airport, check online with government sites to see which areas are most impacted. stay away from people the best you can. clean your areas on the airplane, bus or train before

sitting down. if you aren't traveling for a few weeks, still take notes. this could last for a long, long time. you've seen it before. usually during a natural disaster. shelves emptied by shoppers concerned they'll miss out if they wait. the coronavirus run on supplies looks the same. empty shelves and supplies. this time, it's different. unlike stocking up after a wildfire or an earthquake, hoarding around the coronavirus is expected to go on for weeks and weeks. although it might not be a good idea to buy everything you can get your hands-on, buying enough to tough out the situation is probably not a bad idea. while the rest of us are worrying about the coronavirus, amazon is said to be looking for a cure to the common cold. published reports say they're secret and named project gesundheit. >> this is another example of

the grand princess cruise ship will not be todocking at p7 after 21 people tested positive for coronavirus. it's 19 crew members and two passengers. there's one inconclusive test. it will dock at a noncommercial port and everyone will be screened for coronavirus. president trump just wrapped up a visit to the centers for disease control in atlanta where he met with top officials, including director robert redfield. the president told reporters he doesn't think it's an overreaction to cancel large events. but he tried to down play the risk posed to the public. >> it is big, vast land of ours, the great country of ours, there's 240 cases.

most of those people are going to be fine. a vast majority are going to be fine. we've had 11 deaths. they've been largely old people who are susceptible to what's happening. >> the president made the trip after initially canceling it after what turned out to be claims that someone may have contracted the virus. the visit came after the president signed a funding bill to fund the emergency response to the outbreak. passed overwhelmingly by the house and senate. we're live with dr. patel who joins us once again. you're becoming a regular with all of this. >> i'm honored to be here. not in this circumstance. >> we're happy to have you. you have so much knowledge about this. we have viewer questions we'll get to in a moment. first the comparison between the flu and the coronavirus that we're hearing. the world health organization puts the global mortality rate at 3.4%. health officials with the trump administration believe the rate in the u.s. is between .1 and

1%, which is roughly the same as the flu. when it comes to the flu as of last saturday, the cdc estimated there have been at least 34 million flu illnesses so far this season with about 20,000 deaths. all right. let get to viewer questions right now. dion asks, i have emphysema with a doctor's appointment next week. should i cancel? >> super important question. we have to make sure we're taking care of underlying health, first and foremost. what i want them to ask is this appointment about making sure he's following his usual medication regimen. that he's going to stay health i will. the best thing is to check with the tock tore that he's not going into a clinic and potentially infecting other pople. people with heart and lung diseases are taking risk. taking care of things, your asthma, your heart disease, whatever is really important. >> philip asks, how does this event compare to all the other

outbreaks in the past decade and there have been quite a few, actually. >> absolutely. if you look at the outbreaks, we're talking h 1 n 1 and mers and sars are still in there as well. two other coronaviruss that happened in the past. when we talk about other virus, it's easy to compare them to others, sars and mers, they had a higher mortality rate. 9.5% and almost 35% for mers. it's hard to play apples and oranges. we're reporting things faster also. we have outbreaks of measles, we had a zika outbreak and the ebola outbreak which is a completely different virus. it's hard to compare them. but it is interesting to watch the responses, how they've changed over the years. >> isn't part of it that the incubation period with coronavirus is up to 14 days so you have a lot of people perhaps walking around who have been infected but don't know it. whereas, with some of these

other illnesses, one to four days, you'll know that you're sick. >> not all of them. with sars and mers, which are coronaviruses, you could be walking around and have different symptoms than somebody else. i think the 14-day thing and the low amount of symptoms is important for covid-19. not only do we have the incubation period, some people might be walking around thinking they have a regular cold. now today people are more aware. but this may be the reason we had so much transmission in january and february before people really knew what was happening. >> next question. chris asking, i'm supposed to visit elderly relatives in an area where there's no coronavirus. even though i'm not sick, should i avoid visiting them? >> thank you for thinking about the elderly, chris. because they are at higher risk. now, one thing i would think about right now. where exactly do they have. is there any situation in that area where they are right now. also, what's the facility they're in also. it's not a bad idea to call and chat ahead. chris is smart in thinking about his own symptoms first.

making sure he's protecting others. there's always a risk that someone around where he's going might be sick or he might be sick. that someone might be sick next to him in transit. i think follow basic precautions and asking the right questions, you can still visit people safely. we have no travel advisories right now. we've heard a lot of talk about elderly people most at risk. but we don't see a lot of kids getting sick so far. >> yeah. >> why is that the case? stronger immune system or what's going on? >> a lot of theories. you're right. they're centered around different things that could be happening with children's immune systems. some infectious disease specialists speculate that children have a more robust immune system. there's other coronaviruses out there. they're mounting a better response maybe. maybe this might be a function of older people having a diminished immune system. they may have other diseases

that make them susceptible. we suspect children can be infected at the same rate. they can transmit the coronavirus in a way to get other people sick. but as of right now, knock on wood, pediatricians are happy about this. it looks like they're getting spared. they have a more mild illness. >> good news. >> dr. patel is going to stay with us. we have another segment with him coming up. for now, back to ama. >> from tracking the virus to unprecedented access to a biocontainment facility. 2020 will host a live special on

time now for four at 4:00. dr. patel agreed to hang out with us as we're talking about. guess what? coronavirus. a warning about the virus and cash. the world health organization says bank notes may transmit the disease. it advises people to wash their hands after handling money and avoid touching their face. a world health organization official told the telegraph at london that coronavirus can persist on inanimate surfaces for quite a long time. exactly how long is not known. >> we're talking days or weeks? days probably? >> cash is so dirty. when we talk about hard services, there are viruss, including other coronaviruses that can survive for several days. it's important to clean surfaces

and wash your hands. think of how many people are handling cash an coughing up on cash. handing it over-the-counter and things like that. >> like you're going to throw your cash in a laundry machine. wash or drier. >> clean the cash. >> wrong industry. >> the last couple days, accept credit cards or -- i didn't use cash the whole time. just my debit card in the airport for everything. >> probably safer. >> they're encouraging digital payments right now. >> if you're thinking about making hand sanitizer because of shortages in stores, be careful. medical experts say many of the recipes can cause damage to your skin if you don't follow the directions carefully. there are instructions on the website to make hand sanitizer. but it should only be made in a medical setting with very specific ingredients. >> unless i'm bill nye the science guy, i'm not mixing around with chemicals. the problem people are hoarding

all these things. if you're out, you're out. >> there's so many recipes on instagram of do it yourself home hand sanitizers. it's got to contain 60% alcohol. the other thing about hand sanitizers, they contain something else to buffer the alcohol so you're not drying or damaging your skin. people aren't pouring ever clear on their hands. >> good point. >> wouldn't be a good thing. >> if you want to make sure you're washing your hands long enough to ward off the germs, hum a few bars of your favorite song. >> take on me ♪ >> try the chorus for take on me. or jolie by dolly parton or a hit by taylor swift or beyonce. some choruses are exactly 20 seconds. that's the amount they're saying to vigorously wash your hands. you could also sing happy birthday. you sing it twice. that's about -- >> not so sure about the time,

do stairway to heaven. >> that could take forever. time to move along. >> hope you're not on the stairway to heaven. >> i don't even know how to sing jolene for 20 seconds. >> jolene. if it's what's stuck in my head, i'll be doing it to baby shark all day long. time for talks from technology. the national day of unplugging begins tonight at sundown. >> put it a way spencer. >> people encouraged to turn off laptops and phones for 24 hours and use that time to connect with family and friends. it's called reboot. created the national day of unplugging in 2009. >> i love the idea. >> it's called the '90s. >> exactly. >> what percentage of humans will actually do it or even attempt it and then could really pull it off? we're so conditioned now. >> we are. >> the second that you have a moment of downtime, you just see

it. everybody is like, okay, check messages. >> the gram or facebook or whatever your platform is. >> i feel it's a lifeline for some people. my worry is always, what if there's an emergency with one of my parents and nobody can get ahold of me because i've unplugged. i've turned off my phone. >> that's an aster is i can on unplug -- asterisk to unplug day. >> maybe step away from the screen and act like children. go to bed earlier, what a concept. >> us too. >> us too, yeah. >> sleep deprivation is real. >> that's for sure. >> do you think you could do it? how long could you last? you have emergency calls and things like that. >> my wife is watching right now. she's going to say i can watch for two hours without my phone. i think it's one thing to put it down, it's another thing to be present and not actually think about emails you're getting. we try to talk to people when it comes to disconnecting. mentally, also. not just physically. >> if you want to take pictures
