center represents the first possible u.s. case of community spread of the coronavirus. it means doctors don't know how or where the unidentified woman got sick, since she had no travel to china or known exposure to someone with the virus. >> this is probably the tip of the iceberg. >> reporter: the woman arrived at the medical center february 19th with signs of the viral infection. but testing for the coronavirus was delayed because the patient didn't fit cdc testing guidelines. >> we do realize that this case we're discussing today marks a turning point. >> reporter: the victim lives in solano county, where hundreds of americans have arrived at travis air force base for quarantine. now, in a complaint obtained by "the new york times," a federal whistleblower claims that some federal workers never had proper training or adequate safety equipment. raising questions, could they have exposed the public when leaving base? with worries over the

their upcoming conferences. hoda? >> all right, miguel. thank you. now, to the extraordinary measures being taken to try to contain the virus all around the world. from closing schools to travel bans, even sporting events being played in empty stadiums. nbc's kelly cobiella is covering that part of the story for us from tokyo. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. there's more than 200 cases, now, in this country, japan, with two more deaths overnight. and there's a big push to close all of the country's schools, affecting 12 million students, as this country and many others try to contain the virus.e globe. spreading to five new countries. new zealand, denmark, brazil, the netherlands and nigeria. the number of countries with

confirmed infections now up to 50. with reports of one woman in japan testing positive a second time, after doctors thought she'd recovered. the japanese government taking drastic measures, advising schools to stay closed for a month. tokyo disneyland also shutting its doors. and the city's olympic preparations under threat. the torch relay, due to reach japan next month ahead of the summer games, but officials considering scaling back the ceremony to limit crowds. a strategy adopted across asia. the virus is having a wide raging impact. as popular korean pop band bts cancelled a concert in seoul. and korean students stay away from school. this american teacher has little to do in the south korean capital. you're a teacher. you haven't been teaching anyone. >> i don't have classes. i'm spending a lot of time at my desk, studying korean and trying to stay sane. >> reporter: military bases in

today, wrapping up what's been wall street's worst week since the financial cry crises of 2008. the dow plunged nearly 1,200 points, its biggest daily drop in history. stephanie ruhle is on the floor of the new york stock exchange for us this morning. a lot of nerves there, i gather. and thei issue is, stephanie, uncertainly. and of that, there's a lot. what does it mean, not just the markets, but the economy as a whole? >> reporter: the global economy. janet yellen says she thinks this could sink us into a recession. why? it's not just the u.s. economy. now that corona has hit 50 countries and we're he about all of the countries take precautionary measures, think of what that does to economies. it's not just the amount of people getting sick. you mentioned it before. disney getting closed. switzerland cancelling events. companies like facebook and microsoft cancelling large events. when people aren't spending,

from a government perspective, from a corporate perspective, that's not good for economies. we're moving into hunker-down mode. >> they're in hunker-down mode, but if this virus is with us for the next few months, maybe for longer, wall street has to adjust. is there good news or hope on the horizon? >> reporter: well, right now, the reason you really saw the market drop so much was not because they know it's doomsday. it's because they don't know enough. we are all risk managers. the most valuable thing is information. if you're moms like us, deciding if kids should wear raincoats or a ceo figuring out what to do with your employees around the world. we don't have enough information right now. we have mixed information from even our government. and that's why wall street is saying, i'm going to take a pause. >> yeah. take a pause. for those at home that aren't professional investors but have 401(k)s, should they sit tight?

or do they need to be involved in this sell-off? >> reporter: they should absolutely sit tight. for those of us sitting at home, we're not professional investors. we're definitely not day traders. what's happened now is drastic. remember, just a week ago, the market was hitting highs. fundamentally, lots of these companies are very good. we're trying to figure out how big the coronavirus is going to be and how to react to it. right now, it's too soon to make a decision. here's an interesting thing. stocks that are doing well, are tied to being a home body. zoom, which is a company that does video conferencing for people that work from home, netflix, peloton, anything that involves people staying home and not being out there, it is pretty good for them. >> there's a silver lining, stephanie. thank you very much. we'll have more on the virus just ahead, including a closer look at the race to prepare our hospitals and airports in the u.s. for a potential surge in cases. first, craig joins the table. fresh in from south carolina.

p. >> hoda, savannah, good to see both of you. good to see you, as well. that's right. all dwreyes are on the first ine south state. voters in the palmetto state head to the polls less than 24 hours from now. and a new poll there shows joe biden with a substantial lead now. but the candidates are also focused on next week. 14 states up for grabs on super tuesday. kristen welker has made her way from charleston. she's in the capital of columbia, south carolina, this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, craig. good morning to you. the candidates will be out in force, making their closing arguments to voters. for joe biden, this state could be make or break. he has said this is his southern firewall. if biden wins and wins big, it could shake up this entire race. overnight, the candidates making their final sprint in south carolina, aiming to energize voters. the pressure is on former vice

president joe biden, who needs a big win here to revive his campaign. biden holds a 20-point lead in the latest poll. and overnight, he intensified his attacks against the national front-runner, bernie sanders, who is calling for a revolution. >> this nation isn't looking for a revolution. it's looking for results. it's looking for results, to improve people's lives. >> reporter: but the critical question, is it too late to stop sanders ahead of super tuesday? at a late-night event in south carolina, sanders returned fire against biden. >> i've known joe for many years. he is a decent guy. but i don't believe that joe can beat trump. >> reporter: also feeling the heat, former south bend, indiana, mayor, pete buttigieg, vying to be the modern alternative to sanders but struggling with african-american voters. >> how do you prove that you can win over a diverse coalition if you don't have a strong showing in south carolina? >> the candidates who are doing strong with minority voters are

on the scene for decades or have billions of dollars to make up for not having been on the scene for decades. >> reporter: many candidates are looking beyond tomorrow and setting sights on super tuesday. elizabeth warren campaigning overnight in texas. >> we better have a presidential nominee who has a track record for getting things done. >> reporter: and amy klobuchar in north carolina. >> we have to win big. we cannot leave areas of the country behind. >> reporter: but looming over all of them is mike bloomberg, pressed by kasie hunt, whether he and the moderates are helping bernie sanders by dividing the vote. >> did you spend $400 million to hand bernie sanders to the nomination? >> i don't know why you think -- look, bernie sanders has been running for years. i believe that if bernie sanders gets the nomination, he will lose to donald trump. >> reporter: watching it all very closely and not waiting on the sidelines, president trump. he's going to hold a rally here in south carolina a little later on tonight.

key to winning here, african-american voters. they make up the majority of democratic voters. and right now, biden has a double-digit lead with the group. savannah? >> kristen, thank you so much. for more on the race and what to expect tomorrow and through super tuesday, we have peter alexander here in orlando with us. >> handing out hand warmers. >> i know. florida is not what we expected. let's talk about what we have in south carolina. biden has opened up a big double-digit lead. craig was just there. he knows firsthand. is that enough, a big, commanding victory in south carolina, to propel him on to super tuesday, when you have sanders being the front runner? >> this is biden's third time running for president. in 1998, 2008, and now 2020. he's looking for his first state victory. he needs to get it in south carolina tomorrow. the polls, as you've seen right now, look good for him right now. up 20% in the latest polls that are out. 45% of african-americans in that

poll supporting him. keep an eye on the style points. he can't just win. he has to win with a significant margin. that margin will matter. he's looking for a springboard going forward. he will need it because super tuesday is a couple of days away. >> speaking of super tuesday, just four days from now. 1,300 delegates up for grabs there. michael bloomberg, one of the things that continues to strike a lot of folks, here's a guy that's already spent $200 million, $300 million, and he said he's prepared to spend at least that much more. what effect could bloomberg have on super tuesday and this race moving forward, even if he's not a front runner? >> he's an unknown at this point. this is the first time his name will be on the ballots for super tuesday. will americans be keeping an eye on what he says in ads or the sub par debate performances. >> isn't the polls showing he's taking a bite out of biden? >> if biden does well, bloomberg if bloomberg does well, biden starts to sink. the challenge will be -- >> and sanders wins. >> and sanders surges ahead. one of the challenges is

consider california. it may not happen what happens in south carolina because 2.7 million people have already voted in california, more than in all the other states combined. >> all right, peter. thanks. meanwhile, classes have been canceled today in houston's largest school district after a massive water main break flooded a major highway on thursday. a dozen cars, as you can see, trapped under water. first responders called in to rescue people stranded on their roofs. officials say a private contractor was doing repairs on a major water line. a leak burst before they got to it. this morning, a boil water notice remains in effect for the entire city of houston. it's that time of the morning when we check in on the weather. it's a cold snap that is hitting us even here, mr. roker. where are you, al? >> oh, snap. i'm over here. with all these nice folks. that's right. let's get started with that cold air and show you what looks like and feels like right now.

bregman was on the scandal team for the 2017/2018 team was it just a wild pitch or hard ball justice >> unfortunate for him, as he takes the hit by pitch on the fast ball. >> reporter: it was the sevent time an astros batter up has been hit by the opposing team in five games, the most in the league >> that's no fun >> reporter: it comes as the team was boo eed at their firs spring training game of the year >> if major league baseball and the players association won't take care of the cheating scandal, the fans have to take care of it by booing >> the houston astros are world champions! >> reporter: the reason for it all, a major league baseball investigation found in 2017 and '18 the astros used an elaborate and illegal that included astros players and staffers banging on trash cans to indicate specific pitches to batters. one fan mimicking the move during spring training >> the fans will take it upon

themselves to punish the astros. the rest of major league baseball, the players and fans, basically think the astros have not been punished. >> reporter: the astros team manager and gm were fired. but no players were penalized. i spoke to bregman when spring training began he did not tell fans, i'm sorry, but did say he is embarrassed. >> i think i learned from this and i hope to regain their trust. >> reporter: outside the astros/nationals match-up thursday night, mixed fan reaction on whether those wild pitches were intentional >> just don't hit them in the head or the knee, it's great >> they should get a lot for it. >> i think it just happened. >> reporter: on twitter, angry fans praising the errant hits. but in a press conference last week, major league baseball commissioner, rob manfred, warned opposing players not to retaliate against the astros >> when somebody is throwing intentionally at a player, it

creates the risk of serious, serious injury >> reporter: now, some sports analysts we talked to chalk it up to pitchers being rusty at the beginning of the season or rookie minor league players, who were throwing nervously. as you can see, so many fans have concluded it's a form of poetic sandlot baseball justice. >> somebody's going to get hurt, though dusty baker, the astros' manager, he expressed concern about this very thing happening. >> 90, 100 mile an hour ball, it hurts. >> thanks, kerry just ahead, preparing for anything with concerns over coronavirus groeg growing by the day, how ready is the u.s. for a potential pandemic we'll take a closer look, right after this all you unpaid movers and "never miss a bedtime" parents.

dr. benjamin singer says they're on alert for coronavirus, as the e.r. and icu is full of patients recovering from the seasonal flu. how can you tell the difference between a seas bit. that's why we pay a lot of attention to their history, where they traveled and the people with whom they've been in contact. >> reporter: meanwhile, as health screenings continue at select u.s. airports, the cdc is distributing new test kits to public health next week, ensuring there's enough supplies on-hand, including masks and gowns. first responders trained to identify possible cases. in pittsburgh, they've been given personal protection kits health experts insist an outbreak will look nothing like what is depicted in hollywood movies >> what if we run out of body bags >> reporter: like "contagion" in 2011 >> it will look and feel to the

american people more like a flu season, in the interventions and approaches you see >> reporter: president trump says he will do whatever is necessary, even if that means following china's lead and quarantining entire cities >> we have plans on a larger scale if we need it. we don't think we'll need it, but you always have to be prepared >> reporter: prepared to take every precaution, to face a new and unfamiliar disease >> tom, on the way flying down here, a couple of people had the face masks on. it got me wondering, are they a good idea? do they do anything? >> reporter: yeah. so, i asked dr. singer here at northwestern that question and he referred me to the cdc guidance, which says, if you are sick or somebody in your family is sick, this makes a good idea, right? you want to avoid spreading the germs. it's less effective if you're simply trying to avoid getting sick by going through an airport or a bus station or whatever else this may not be that helpful what is helpful is to constantly wash your hands, don't touch your face.

and if you're in a clinical environment, take advantage of the hand sanitizer all of us in the e.r., have been doing this constantly yesterday and today. >> you mentioned the cdc, tom. there's news they're changing criteria for testing patients after that first case of unknown origin in the u.s. was confirmed. what more can you tell us about thatright? up until now, they were separy now, if this disease is spreading on its own in the united states, that no longer is enough so, they're now going to be pushing 93 test kits to labs across the country by this weekend, so there's a quicker way to diagnose somebody with coronavirus. 70 companies are competing with finding some sort of a diagnostic test for hospitals to use at the bedside, so you don't have to send those out to a lab. the whole spectrum here is opening up, if this is out among

the population, as opposed to a simple travel history alone. >> all right tom costello in chicago for us tom, good information. thank you. how about we take a little break and get a check on the weather. mr. roker is outside studio 1a >> that's right. it looks like it look at this we got the comcast nbc building here in universal. it's also home to jimmy fallon's race through new york. another bit of new york here in the northeast. why are we seeing so much lake-effect snow we're talking two feet or more here's the problem normally, the great lakes would be iced over completely. we're talking 30% to 100% iced over however, the ice situation, because it's been so warm, the great lakes, pretty much wide-open. and that is the fuel source for all that snow. the warmer -- the cold air picks up the warm, moist air across

the lakes and that brings a ton of snow. we're talking 8 inches to 2 feet of snow around the great lakes that good morning. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we're starting to see some high clouds moving in this morning and that will give us a miltered sunshine as our temperatures still warm up into the upper 70s in the inland valley and along the coast we'll see highs in the low to mid-60s. over the next few days a big cooldown headed our way for tomorrow as wells as sunday. and it will also be very windy, especially on sunday as the winds peak, possibly reaching 35 to 40 miles per hour and then warming up again next week. >> okay, guys. when i come back here, just across the way from where you are, it's the "today" cafe we'll give you a tour and i'm going to debut a new menu item that i created get ready. strap on the feed bag.

>> reporter: the woman arrived at the medical center february 19th with signs of a viral infection. but testing for the coronavirus was delayed because the patient didn't fit cdc testing guidelines four days later, the cdc did order testing. the results coming back positive now, medical staff who came into contact with the patient have been told to self-quarantine >> this case that we're discussing today marks a turning point. >> reporter: the victim lives in solano county, where hundreds of americans have arrived at travis air force base for quarantine. now, in a reported complaint, obtained by "the new york times," a federal whistleblower claims some federal workers never had proper training or adequate safety equipment. meanwhile, in a neighboring county, three u.c. davis roommates have now been put in isolation after one began showing mild symptoms of coronavirus. california governor gavin newsom says the state is prepared
