comes a few that put the hand that you probably can do the shake it and we're all getting out of that shaking hands is not a great thing to be doing a free. but people put their hand at somees i'll put the hand you don't think about it. the people are thinking about it more and more we have to think about it it's important. somebody said yestery touch the microphone. i was touching because we have different people and i'm trying toake it easy for them because they can have to textbecause it would be able to reach the mike. they would be able to speak in the mikes on move the mike down and thesaid oh he touch the microphone. well if i don't actually takehave to touch and somebody is going to have to so might as well be the one to do it that know we all have to get away from them in getting away from shaking hands. is a good thing and possibly that's something that comes out of this maybe people shouldn't be shaking hands for the long term because it does transmit flu and other things you know we ve country that kills on average 36,000 people

a year 36,000 people and you know th says something that we're nottalking but as of this moment, we've lost to 50 possibly little bit less than 50 probably 50 people. and we're going keep that numbers a low, thos >>it is teing service members and their families not to travel domestically. should all americans fall have to travel i would do it ifyou dot have to we want this thingto end we don't want a lot of people getting infected we wanted to end an end as quickly aspossible. >>so far i think we've done a fantastic job i i really think that the people behind me have not been given the edit that they deserve because they have done a fantaic job. when you see all this sool closures when you see the school closures a very important but it causes a lot of problems the bill that we signed yesterday takes care a lot of staying at home and the dren parents who work in the now we take care of that issue with what we passed last night and

population, the people most susceptible to serious medica outcomes. seem and a few moments, we'll talk about the president's decisn yesterday to restrict all visitors in all nursing homes around the country and other measures that we've taken that it's so important. so important for all all of us who are blssed with having senior citizens in our fami. like my the 88 year-old mom. is let's let's look after seniors with serious underlying health conditions and make sure that every american around them is practicing the best kind of hygiene and the best kind of measures to ensure that ar also from a doctor will carson. and thesurgeon of before we wrap up and take some questions let me uh recognize doctor tony found she for an update on where we stand and recommendations and guidance. thank you very much ister vice president just a quick review the numbers as of late afteron.

>esterday let me start of qukly globally and then we'll go to the unid states. right now ere are a 129 countries that have involvement with coronavirus globally the numbers are a 132 plus 1000. so it's a little bit more than a 132,000 about 7500 which a new cases importantly and this is something we've mentioned over the last couple of days that if you look at what s formerly the main feature of this the coronavirus outbreak was china. we have 80,081 1000 new cas but only 11 new cases d only 7 w deaths things have switch over now. 2 outside of china which is actually triggered hard decisions decisioof the president to do the travel restrictions in other areas besides china and i think it's important to recognize that because when is all over and it will and you'll see of the corovirus outbreak. the ball. 's not going to be a

you need to mention a homogeneous becauscountries we've seen it already with en china. we're starting to s it with with korea which brings us now to what we can if you look at the domestic o cases. they're about 2226 including to repay repriations 50 deaths 532 new cases and deaths which means we hae not reached a peak. we will see more cases and we will see more suffering andeath predominantly as the vice president id among the vulnerable as in our society, the individuals with the conditions that we spoke to and the elderly but built in that is a challenge and the challenges we still have the opportunity to influence the course of that curve. so we would like to see is that whn this is all over our curry was not like that r crew was like this. so that's the

reason why we're implementing the things we're talking about and finally i just want to make a comment about yesterday, you know as a as a physician which is what i find at really am who takes re of patients everday before i was doing this is that ere are this that happened yesterday that i think is going to be really important to the people out there who this but particularly by the physicians and that is the president declaring a state of national emergency because that will be what i thought the word that i use essentially anhackling us fromany of the things that is going to get in the way of are in for men to particularly the new powers given to the secretarof hhs alex azar and the deptments within his agency particularlcms which you can hear about shortly and within that group particularly the nursing home situation which we've really got to protect. the other thing is we always get asked about testing. he saw the see out there now it's all stems go let's look forward the responsibilities gointo be

with us, but also withhem because as we get knowledge about new new testing. we'll leave the 8 games, id that we havein the world about we dot know what's going on. but it also will give the individual physician and individual citizen the opportunity to kn where they stand stuff, they're happy to answer questions later, thank >>thanyou. thank you good afternoon i just completed my second week so i want to just tart with the 4 things that i have learned in the last 2 weeks when we're at our best when the country mes and that has really been way extraordinary to witss. but secondly what you may not have seen as is the willingne of ste and local governments to work togethewith the federal government in a seamless way independent of party affiliation.the 3rd thing has been remarkable decrease in bureaucracy and red tape n order to get us to where we are today. his is particularly evident in the cdc and then finally the

understandinat in order unleash an serve every american we have to reate public private partnership the bring together the extraordinary strength of our private sector. so we saw all issues with testing and again i want to remind everyone it was a surveillance system that was set up by public health institutions in the united states are c d c. to surveillance test. we then because there was no other moved it to a diagnostic tests but now we have the full pow of our testing capacity what i mean by that. we're looking at what it will take to have consumer access and that's where the private sect is bringing to us secondly we had to have automated high throughput testing because we want the american people to be able to get their results quickly and you heard from roche and thermo fisher that access. but finally we want to make sure that patients get results. and thawas looks critical in that bill yesterday, m porting and

requiring reporting beuse obviously as we decentralize as we move out of state and local laboratries public out into the hospitals in the communities. we need to kn about the test results so that we can focus resources where they're needed the most finalli want to include conclude with something thats very important. when you are tested. and our results look very similar to south korea w to date where south korean 96 class percent of people with sympms were negative. that means also that they had respiratory says symptoms. let's remind all of us most respiratory diseases are contagious. so if you ve any respiratory symptoms you want to protect yourself and treat just want to protect others. and so let's everne assume when they have a respirato illness that you have a contagious illness because of it is anallergies, it's contagious. and let'use those precautions across the

board and let's when you get a negative test that means you're negative that day. that doesn't mean that you couldn't get the virus spreading overnight because it replicates in your nose and your nasal secretions. and you would have a posive test tomorrow. so if you havea negative test that doesn't mean that you can discontinue precautions it doesn't mean you can start taking risks because y were negative. so let's ensure that if you had symptoms you are contagus. let's treat yourself as being contagious and if you ha a negative test. let's make sure that yo're still protecting others from whatever you do have and that doesn't hey it reassure you personally and you take additional risk. final, i just wanted to conclude with a group of clients and patients that we are all very worried these are individuals tt we ca long-term survivorsfrom hiv they're here across the country th have survived re than 4 decades wi hiv. many of tm still carry a

level of immunocompromised to all of them out there please take care of yourself please ensure that you're doing everything possible to ense you don't get exposed. thank you. great comments. mister secrary on the legislation that passed the house, thank you mister vice presidents or in particulai want to thank kevin mccarthy and kevin brady and all the republicans. >>on the house side who work with us round the clock. d also like to thank mitch mcconnell and his team o were providing us input as ell. i especially want to tnk speaker pelosi who s round the clock for the last 3 ys. and i also want to just thank the vice president the president who are very specifically inolved in the details with us and providing guidance. o i will just highlight some of the the issues here. the first thing i would just say is this delive on what the present announced in his speech the other night. obviously people who need to be quarantined and

people who have the virus we want tm at home. and we want them to continue to get paid. we don't want to bein a situation wher they fear not getng paid during this 2 ek period of time. so the first ing that this does is it creates a very seamless process for people that wo for small and medium size businesses they will continue to get paid bytheir emploer. they don't have to worry about big government in coming to big government to to get their checks. they will continue to get paid. we're also very sensitive to small and medium size businesses. manyof these businesses covere, sick pay but they're going to have many more ople that may be unfair and teen the normal sick pay and we didn't want them to have to bear the cost. so a 100% of the st for these limid situations will be taken care of by the federal government and then finally one to think of it again as i said how do we deliver money to the people in the quick why we didn't wanto take 6

months to implement some governmensystem. so i want to thank everybody at the irs. the way we're able to do this again the irs will issue tax credits for most employers will just be docked the money from what they owe us. but i and medium size sinesses ll that have cash flow problems. we willissue guidelines you'll be able to come to t irs get the money in advance, so you don have cash flow issues we were very careful in balancing making sure that people got paid with not creating undue burden. also have unique circumstances where schoolare closed. in many places parents may be able to telecommute and take care of their kids and continue to get paid for their companies but in certain circumstances parents have to be home to take care of youngsters are elderly people again. we wanted ensure that they had the ability to do that. anis the vice president for ki that received meals in schools, the

schools are closed. we want o make sure that those kids would continue to get lunch is paid for i especially want to thank the tak force 2 things that were very important to us in this. there's a provision as it relates to masks we can r ramp up to 30 miion masks a month and we want to pmaksure there is free testing. but there's also a provision that thstates will communicate back. the cdc. these results so we will very quickly get those results. the last thini want to say is i thank the house for sticking around to very late last night at 1230. i don't want people to be surprised we will be doing a technical correcon on monday morning. despite us language agreed with the speaker with kevin mccarthy it didn't get to the final bill. last night at 12 30 kevin, the speaker and i it and have an agreement to be a technical correctioso i don't want anybody to come back on monday rning and be surprised by that so i again thank you to vice president in

the presiden and let me also is like a baseball the game, the fist inning was the billion. this is the second inning we have a lot more we need to do with congress and the speakerand i think working starting immediately. the airlines indust in particular no different than after 9.11. has a very unique industry the hotel industry. i would say we've got a lot more work to do and we very much appreciate the bipartisan support and anticipate rolling things and very quickly. thank you. mister secretarand and thing i know the would want me to say again how grateful we are for all of your efforts on behalf the american people. acting secretary chad wolf is going to speak our cruise the current suspension of tral secretary gift. eland >>they're good afternoon. and let me start off by thanking

the partnerships that we have with our private sector partners, bo in the airline industry. >>and the cruise line industry for imementing a number. travel restrictions and security orders over the last several weks an months as a vice president the president have we have issued new directives to the 9 foreign nationals who have been in certain affected countries that's been 28 countries today from entry into the u s. at e president's request and again as the vice president outlined earlier. we had a mber of major cruise lines that have agreed to suspend outbound trips for 30 days we've had a number of smaller operators follow that suit. and then we have also given orders to a a very small hdful to not sale and that began at midnight last night as well. today is that again is a vi president outlined the president. made the decision to the rising number of cases in the uk to apply ese restrictions to both the uk anireland. so as we move forwd again these restrictionbar travel from certain for from for certain

foreign nationals who have been president in e eu care island. in e past 14 days and again that goes effective the president's proclamation in these travel restrictions do not apply to us citizens ought to be very clear about that the vice president mention that do not apply to us citizens. so i think we saw some reporting and how to how to us citizens get bacfrom europe quicklythey dot need to they will be allowed into the us legal permanent residets family members under the age of 21 foreign diplomats and then we have other. other exemptions that are outlined in the proclamation. can certainly travel back to the us they will go undergo some medical screening and someother questions when they and then they will be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, these to the uk and ireld just like the schengen zone in cargo in economic. cargo ly to maritime cargo economic shipping or the like. when we close again by saying the

president has really taken unprecedented action to protect the safe and the security of the american public these actions have never been taken before and so the we think that department of homeland security the men and women of the department. we're working day and night 24 hours a day implement these restrictions in to make sure that do this in a very orderly inefficient proces and wealso continue to look at measures on the table new measures that we he to implement as we go forwardas the virus continues to evolve so thank you. thank you. mister secretary. >>and i know the president move on the issue to reiterate. the your thngs and and a commendationto the and a commendationto the dedicated me dhs. on the front lines of implementingthese travel policies and doing an outstanding job for that recognize seem of the head of cms to talk about the new on seniors
