covid-19. they talked about symptoms, risk and treatment, but they have not given a time line on when that would be available nationwide, dan. >> thank you very much, trevor. so much to talk about. so many questions. let's bring in our expert, our chief medical correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton. let's start, jen, with the covid-19 test the president took it's negative. is he out of the woods? >> well, here's the difficult thing about the testing. right now we don't totally know how this virus behaves in terms of the asymptomatic period. can people develop symptoms after a certain time? what we do know just published in the last week, the average incubation is 5.2 days and by 11 days 97% of people who convert to positive have done so by day 11. we also know that people can have coronavirus and not show symptoms and we know that some percentage can't have a fever. when to test, how often to test, is still being worked out.

>> it's a new virus. >> yes. >> french officials say there's been a rapid increase of serious cases, including 300 in intensive care, and half of those are under the age of 60. i think a lot of people have this idea that this mostly affects older people. >> yep, yep, yep, and we're hearing that locally as well, eva. both here in new york state, and from fphysicians in washington and seattle. so we need to be clear. yes, the majority of cases -- serious cases and deaths occur in older people, but we are seeing younger people and previously healthy people become ill, ill enough to be hospitalized with this. it doesn't mean it's the more like lly group, but we are seei it. >> and jen, we're also seeing hospitals canceling elective surgeries. what does that mean not only for hospitals but for patients trying to get this done? >> this is evolving, whit. we saw the american college of surgeons on friday come out with a statement on friday recommending the postponement or rescheduling of all elective surgeries. new york presbyterian hospital in new york issued a statement

saying they are postponing and rescheduling elective -- this is for one to two months. things like mammograms, colonoscopies for elective reason, recommendations to postpone. this is part of the emergency management plan. we need to unburden all of these healthcare facilities. protect the population and get ready for an influx of patients unfortunately. >> dr. jen ashton, thank you so much. we'll have you back to answer those viewer questions in the next half hour. this pandemic has now led two u.s. states, georgia and louisiana to delay presidential primaries and the latest democratic debate coming up tonight is going on but not as planned. it's being held in washington, d.c., instead of arizona, and there will be no audience in studio. abc's rachel scott is in d.c. with more. good morning to you, rachel. >> reporter: eva, good morning. the coronavirus has not only altered the plans for tonight's democratic debate. it is also expected to take

center stage. former vice president joe biden and bernie sanders will face off in their one-on-one matchup. amid a national emergency and without a live audience. tonight's debate was moved from phoenix, arizona, to right here in washington, d.c., to limit cross-country travel. there will be no live audience, not even a spin room. but it will be one of the last opportunities for these candidates to make their pitch before the next round of contests. on tuesday, nearly 600 delegates will be up for grabs and both of these candidates have largely been forced off of the campaign trail, canceling the rallies and door knocking instead turning to virtual town halls and campaign events to get their message out. eva? >> now voters in four states will head to the polls on tuesday. but other states aren't taking the chance? >> reporter: that's right, eva. both louisiana and georgia have now delayed their primaries. sta state officials say they're concerned about two things -- turnout but also the health and safety of voters. they want as many people to come out and vote as possible but don't want them to compromise their safety to cast their

ballot. eva? >> rachel scott for us. dan, over to you. >> thank you, rachel. let's bring in abc's jon karl who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. jon, good morning. let's talk about this impact on the democratic race. is bernie sanders in a position he can't fully recover and get the nomination but can however do a lot of damage to joe biden in the meantime? and does the postponement of the primaries only prolong that process? and i guess on top of all that, does any of this matter when most of the country is paying attention to the coronavirus? >> it will be one of those two because one of them will be going up against donald trump in the general election. dan, it was already going to be a very tough road for bernie sanders to catch up. now we have four primaries on tuesday, these are four states, big states, we're talking about florida, ohio, illinois, arizona, voting on tuesday. those haven't been postponed. four states that sanders has lost. and where he's behind now.

so he -- biden is looking more and more like a presumptive nominee. sanders would have to really come back, and it's very hard to do that when you can't hold rallies. you can't hold big public events. the debate is going forward, but unste instead of being out in arizona with a live audience, it will be here in washington, d.c. in a cnn studio with no audience. >> let's look back at president trump. he's taken so much heat. let me show you the headline of the washington post. infighting, missteps and a son-in-law hungry for action -- inside trump administration's troubled response. is this a real political problem for the president? or are most people not paying attention to the politics here, just the health threat? >> well, i think the overwhelming majority of people looking at this are looking at the health try trying to see what they need do to protect themselves, their neighbors and their families. the politics will come later. it's come now for some.

but for the overwhelming majority of people it will come later. but look, this may be a defining moment for the trump presidency, it's certainly the biggest crisis hs face. and how he handles this will be something on voters' minds in november. >> jon, we really appreciate your analysis on a sunday morning. thank you very much. i want to remind everyone, tune in later this morning to "this week," jon will go one-on-one with dr. anthony fauci, a key figure in all this, and treasury secretary steve mnuchin. plus, the powerhouse roundtable. will debating the president's response to covid-19 and what's next in the 2020 race. it's all coming up later this morning on "this week." and while i have you, a reminder for the latest on all the news in this very busy time, tune into our new streaming service, abc newslive. a check of the forecast with rob marciano. it hasn't felt like much of a winter on the east coast. other parts of the country, different story. >> this is a great time to go skiing this time of year. spring skiing or powder, but 50 or more resort have closed in the past day or so because of

heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure among some of them, yes, it puts you at higher risk, but to be clear, whit, as we just said a few minutes ago, we're also seeing occasionally some young people become critically ill with pneumonia here. the thinking is they have such a robust immune response that that can overwhelm, you know, their pulmonary system, but we're still learning more and more about this virus and who is at greatest risk. >> absolutely important for everybody to really take precautions. we have the next question. if you do get the virus and you need to stay home, to you do you know it's safe? >> okay. so great you're asking this question. if you do get the virus with symptoms and stay home, how do you know when it's safe to leave. erring on that two-week mark is a good rule of thumb.
