12:02 pm
fourth highest number of confirmed cases according to johns hopkins that puts america behind china, italy and spain. more than 80 million americans are on virtual lockdown as multiple states have announced stay at home orders including new york, california and the lai latest, ohio. nation continues to work together to contain the virus spread. president trump criticized the governor of illinois and some media outlets in a tweet today for in his word, blaming the federal government for their own shortcomings. the comments for the president came after illinois's governor told cnn jake tapper this morning that states have resorted competing against one another for desperately needed medical supplies. he called it a wild west. we know as this out break grows so dwrour questions and this hour we'll get you some answers while we do keep the questions coming. you can use the hashtag msnbc
12:03 pm
answers on twirt, fatter, facebd instagram. mitch mcck kocconnell said senators will delay the vote until 6:00. that bill seems uncertain after nancy pelosi said house democrats will suggest their own bill. mitch mcconnell says not to worry. >> we're still talking about those issues where there's still some disagreement. make no mistake about it we would be voting tomorrow. the wheel has to stop at some point. i don't want any of you to buy the notion this isn't a thoroughly bipartisan proposal already. >> let's head to capital hill where josh is standing by. we're joined by cnbc senior
12:04 pm
analyst. josh, let me start with you. nancy pelosi says we're not ready. mitch mcconnell said we're ready but we're not voting right now. who's right? >> reporter: the fact of the matter there's clearly not a deal at this point. that's why they are unable to proceed. all day long mitch mcconnell haez behas been saying they will move ahead. it's been dladelayed until 6:00. the vote was likely going to fail. democrats were not going to vote. whether there's enough restrictions to make sure the money that goes to companies is
12:05 pm
used to help americans a and not to sure up the company's bottom lines. we don't know how they willreso. they are hoping to have something they can move forward with at 6:00 p.m. it's not likely to be a bill we can look at and view and make assumptions about. it's likely to be a vote to move forward even as they continue to hammer out these disagreements. the other wrench in this, nancy pelosi saying that she's going to introduce her own version of this legislation. republicans, including mitch mcconnell saying that's an unproductive move at this hour. everybody should be focusing on one bill and trying to get something out to the american people as quickly as possible. >> with that, do we know what this might entail? one of the big question s about this check. am i going get a check in how much checks will i get and what kind of checks are different industries going to get? what's the best read on what this package might have involve?
12:06 pm
>> we don't have great read yet. there are individual checks that total about $3,000. there could be additional extended unemployment insurance benefits that get rid of some of the neck atechnicalities like a if you continued to look for a job. they may eliminate that question for people who are trying for unemployment benefits. tens of thousands, if not millions may have applied for state unemployment insurance benefits across the country. that number could jump this week. the congress, right now, is playing with fire by pushing this back. if you go back to the financial crisis of 2008, the day on which the vote to pass tarp or the troubled asset relief program, a $700 billion failed, the stock market plunged. they will go through this vote at 6:00 this afternoon. that's when the futures market
12:07 pm
opens for stock index futures this evening. if they are not on schedule, if they look like they are falling behind after a 900 drop on friday, 15% decline for the week, this could cause turmoil in markets that might force them to do more. the average family will get money. small businesses will get money. large businesses will get money. the county tours in this package aren't clear because of the disagreements between the two parties. >> who's got the leverage on this in terms of where this goes from here? >> reporter: that's a difficult one to say at this point. there's such a sense of urgency. both parties know they will be both be held accountable if congress cannot get its act together and put out this money that everybody agrees is really needed at this point. also looming over this, the possibility of another move in the stock market tomorrow in a negative direction if they do not have real signs of progress moving forward on this. >> that's nbc josh letterman on capitol hill.
12:08 pm
thank you. ron is going stoic around. now we would like to get to some of kroyour questions about how s pandemic could affect you, starting with your finances. please remember, our guests are going to give you their best answers based on their expertise and on what we know right now. what we know can and will change and nothing that anyone on this program says can substitute for the guidance of your financial adviser or your doctor on your specific vasituation. having that said is cnbc personal finance correspondent sharon epperson. >> thank you. >> debra asked is our money safe in the bank right now? are the big banks safer than the smaller banks? how would you respond to debra? >> the first is you have to make sure it's in an fdic insured
12:09 pm
bank. it's the corporation that's going to keep your money safe. your savings account, checking account, money market deposit account and your cds. yes, big banks have this fdic insurance for these accounts but some smaller banks do as well. you need to go to fdic.gov. go to the bank find and look to see whether or not your bank has the fdic insurance to ensure your money is safe. up to $250,000 per deposit account is the amount insured. you want to make sure you have that type of insurance on your money to make sure that your money is safe. >> ron, real quick response. the banks have been going through various forms of stress testing to make sure they can withstand some financial crisis. i know the rules have changed but shouldn't the banks be able to handle this based on the fact they were supposed to go through the tests. >> they are better cap tiled
12:10 pm
than going into the crisis of 2008. they have liquidity relative to normal circumstances. the question question is whether or not and it's not like 2008 where the banks are the locust of this crisis. we have a health carry and global economic crisis weighing on the systems. the federal reserve is backstopping them entirely to make sure they have enough liquidity to meet any demands that might come from customers and to extend more loans to small businesses once the package from congress gets passed. the banks, as far as we know are fine. this is not 200. this is a much different type of crisis. health care and economic crisis leading the financial markets. the exact opposite of what we saw 12 years ago. >> we got a lot of questions. this is not a substitute from
12:11 pm
your own financial adviser. my dad is losing his life savings. he hay not live through 2020 due to illness. should he cash out or should the money be left where it is and go to his kids and hopefully recover from this financial disaster? tough question. >> it's a very tough question and it's a question that really has to be answered by the father and his family. there's a couple of things to keep in mind. for anyone thinking about cashing out, it's important to go back and reevaluate what your financial obligations are. if you're able, in this case, if the father is able to cover medical expenses, to cover living expenses for time that he has then there's no reason to cash out of the market. every financial adviser will tell you cashing out in a down mark you're going to lock if losses. if it's in a taxable account and you have some profits in there, you'll get a tax hit there. i think it's very important for
12:12 pm
investors to consider why they are cashing out. do they really need the funds right now and for the family that may want to see if the father can pass this along, this is where state planning comes in. that might be a great idea. you need to work with estate planning attorney and make sure the proper trusts are set up and define these people because you need your own adviser. go to the financial advisers that are out there. fpa, national association of financial personal advisers as well as estate planning associations so you can get attorneys who know exactly what to do for your situation. >> i do understand why some people are nervous. we showed you where the dow closed on 4.5%. wiping out gains for quite some time. futures open in just under three hours. diane says i'm over 70 and have to take a mandatory reduction
12:13 pm
from my 401(k). i'm concerned unless my number is now readjusted, my 401(k) will not last me through my retirement years. is there any discussion of addressing this issue giving the drastic drop in the value of 401(k)s. >> it's not like a bank account. you're not going to see investors made whole within their 401(k)s. to my knowledge that the government would step in and provide a bufferin mp up, this time to sit down with your planner or adviser to go through the variety options you might have and it depends on the composition of one's portfolio. some people don't have all s stocks even though it's a 401(k). it really makes sense to have a conversation with a trusted adviser because at this juncture not knowing the very specifics of this individual's life
12:14 pm
whether or not she has enough to live off of outside of her 401(k). i know she has to take mandatory distributions because she's 70 and that's the rule. that will be extended to 72. that's not the case right now. it depends on available living expenses and you may not want to do much to the composition of your portfolio if you're in good health because the market will bounce back. this is something that without knowledge of some of the other details of her life would be very difficult for me to say do this or do that. the one thing i can say is yes, she does have to start taking mandatory distributions. that's the way the law is constructed. >> briefly -- >> she can take that money and put it in a brokerage account. if she is forced to take that distribution and get that money to work for her not necessarily invest it right away but it will still be in an accounts that she can invest later.
12:15 pm
>> a lot of this is driven by emotion. coronavirus has people freaked out. our 401(k)s have people freaked out. i thought i was a good investor and i looked at my investers and i was like, so everybody is a little nervous. that can't be over stated in terms of the way we think about our money for the long haul. >> is so hard to separate your emotions for what you're doing with your money. it's imper tiative at this time. we're all so heightened with our anxiety over everything that's happening. you have to have plan. i think what really can calm people is if you take a step back and really think about ultimately if this was not happening, what would your goals be. what do you want to happen and see how you can do that. kit be the smallest thing from cutting out something on your credit card bill and realizing you're saving some money to talking to a financial adviser about your overall financial plan. you've got to do something and not panic and not be so anxious
12:16 pm
that it paralyzes you into looking at your financial future because it's going to be there. it looks very bleak for many right now. it is there and you just have to be focused on what you can do and what you can control in this moment about your finances and talking to some of the right people, reading the information that you have on your website, that we have on cnbc.com is a key part of that. >> we're going to see some economic numbers that will scare people in the weeks ahead. we will see jobless claims jump to maybe two million this week. we will see numbers we have not seen before, not in our lifetime. i think people need to understand that the economic picture will look better -- look worse before it gets better. they will have to steel themg themselves for that. if you if you understand the numbers are coming, you don't have to react in panic.
12:17 pm
it will help mitigate some of the economic problems you're likely to see in the weeks ahead. >> it's hard to talk about the economy these days without cussing. thank you for helping to keep us calm and thank you for answering our questions. >> happy birthday. >> thank you. >> what day to be celebrating my 40th. please do keep sending us your questions whether they are economic or medical or anything at all. e-mail us, talk@msnbc.com. we'll get the latest on the shortage of tests and we'll answer your questions about what concerns you the most in this pandemic. it's tough to quit smoking cold turkey. so chantix can help you quit slow turkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smoking at first and ease into quitting so when the day arrives, you'll be more ready to kiss cigarettes goodbye. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix,

cases there. illinois has one of the highest numbers of infected people in the u.s. garrett joins us outside a first responders testing center near chicago in north lake, illinois. there's been this back and forth between the governor and president trump. we'll get to that in a second. tell us what this stay in place mandate means. as i understand it, it's not a shelter in place like when there's a tornado where nobody goes out. every one stays home. this is a little different, right? >> reporter: that's right. i think another word we should dispense with is lockdown. that's not an appropriate description for what this is either. this is the state encouraging anyone who does not have to lever their home particularly for work or any other nonessential business not to do so. grocery stores will still be open. pharmacies will be open. some essential businesses beyond that will remain open. folks are free to exercise outside if they want but it's still chicago and it's still
12:23 pm
march and it's still quite cold here. i wouldn't necessarily recommends that folks do that. the governor is trying to make a tough call here. one that the governor of ohio has similarly made. the governor of louisiana appears to be about to make and one he defended this morning on cnn. take a listen. >> unless we tell people to stay home and stop interacting in the way they were, we're going to see more and more thousands, more, tens of thousands more deaths than we otherwise would. that's why i had to take the action i did. i don't relish. this is a competition in the decision making saving lives and saving livelihoods. >> reporter: the other part of this competition is getting testing done. you can see in the distance here, a healthy distance, the testing center that was put up in this walmart parking lot. this is one of two such testing
12:24 pm
centers deployed in the chicago area. it's meant to be for first responders and health care workers. you have to have been in contact with someone who has tested positive. it was a line of cars when we arrived. i suspect there will be a line for some time. the capacity is only about 150 tests per day. the idea is to get the front line workers. the ones so vital for caring for the rest of us, doctors, nurses, firefighters out here to get tested even as they try to ramp up the testing statewide. >> thank you. let's get back to your questions. let's bring in our panel.
12:25 pm
good to have you both. we continue to get excellent viewer questions. let's start with this one. i think i had a light case of the virus. as a result i have been self-isolating as i am in that 20% of folks that is likely to get sick. over 75 years old with type two diabetes. when i can stop isolating. can i get the virus again? what would you say? >> the new guidelines are that if you haven't been tested but you think you might have had covid-19, you should remain in isolation for at least 7 days and or if you are 72 hours fever free. which ever the longest is. we have a blood test that can
12:26 pm
identify antibiotiodies that wo indicate past infection and immunity which we believes happens but we don't know how long it lasts. is it week, month, a year or longer. if you get influenza, you're thought to be immune for that season but your immunity drops off by the next season. >> repeat the numbers you said. isolate for how many days after what and 72 hours from what? say that again. >> we talk so much about quarantine. the 14 days. that's for exposure. that is not if you're sick. that is if you've been exposed. if you are actually sick, and let's add a little thing to wenda's, to my answer. if you were fortunate enough to be tested, before you're allowed out again, you would require two tests done 24 hours apart again
12:27 pm
that are negative. given how difficult it is to get tested, the vast majority of people are not. it's 72 hours fever free, at least 7 days from symptom on set. >> got you. let's see if you can take this question from nancy who asks, i live in a small rural mountain county in tennessee. there's a maximum of five doctors. some of whom only work part-time. our closest hospital is 45 minutes away. we have little basaccess to telehealth. what is someone in this community do if they feel they might have covid-19? i love this question especially because there are many people and many corners of the country that ain't new york, california or illinois or the tri-state area who are showing up as being positive for this and they are among the farthest away from health care on a good day. what would you say to nancy?
12:28 pm
>> i also love this question. i think there's a general perception, i don't know where it came from, that it's just going be in the big cities and somehow millions and millions of people who live in rural areas are going to be protected. that is incredibly untrue. we have 65 million people in the country living in medically underserved areas even in normal times. what happens when we have a big crisis and a biological threat like this, we are in very serious trouble. to answer the question, i think there immediate to be a state hot line that somebody like that viewer has asked. i don't know what state -- remind me what state. >> tennessee. >> tennessee. there's a very active and very good state health department in tennessee. it should be a hot line that she can call to get some specific advice. if she does get symptoms that are mild, she does not need to
12:29 pm
go get a test, necessarily. she needs the stay in her house and allow things to run its course. if she's having shortness of breath, she may need to get hospital attention. it's going to be very difficult but people should not think the rural areas of america are except fr exempt from this incredible pandemic. >> nancy, if you're watching. here is the number. write this down. 833-556-2476. that is the number for tennesseeans to get information for covid-19. 833-55
12:30 pm
833-556- 833-556-2476. best of luck to you. let us know how it went. we would love to find out if you got the help you needed. let's get to a question from ace who asks, i own a house painting business in north carolina and use n-95 masks as part of our standards equipment. i'd like to donate my small supply. i've contacted colleagues in different states who would like to do the same. is there a national hotline or a specific state or federal department we should contact to make this happen. ace says he's in north carolina. i'll look for north carolina but what would you say to ace? >> yeah, i tried to find a very specific answer to this to see if there was a national hotline. i'm not aware there is one. my recommendation would billion to contact your local or state health department and let them know you have masks to give because they then will -- they are the ones in contact with all of the health care institutions and hospitals and they should be the ones to know where the
12:31 pm
greatest need is and that those needs could be met. that's a wonderful thing. >> okay. here is your number. go ahead and i'll give the number. >> if you call up the federal government and you can speak to somebody, they will tell you it's how difficult to grasp. we need about three billion face masks over the next year in the united states. i think i would go micro on this. i totally agree with what dr. azar is saying. get in touch with your local hospitals or health department. then you will make a contribution that's meaningful. if you have 1,000 face masks, i'd go very local on this. they're not going be helpful. >> north carolina hotline.
12:32 pm
just dial 211. a lot of states have 211 lines. if you have a 211 hot line where you can get general government information, that might not be a bad place to start. stick around. we'll keep talking in just a little bit. just ahead, school closures are forcing many teachers and parents and students to get used to online learning. a pioneer in that field will take your questions, next. hot! hot! no no no no no, there's no space there! maybe over here? oven mitts! oven mitts! everything's stuck in the drawers! i'm sorry! oh, jeez. hi. kelly clarkson. try wayfair! oh, ok. it's going to help you, with all of... this! yeah, here you go. thank you! oh, i like that one!

schools across the country are closed to help protect teachers and children from coronavirus. by the numbers, 46 states have shut down schools. that combined with other district closures have left more than 53 million students at home. just because the building is closed, that doesn't mean classes are cancelled too. many schools are shifting to virtual classrooms and digital curriculum with mixed comfort levels. we have been hearing from lots you have about the challenges of
12:37 pm
online education. joining us now is sal khan. the owner of khan academy platform. the way you can help us most is help teachiing teachers and par is are not used to online learning. patricia asks, i'm 64 and i teach 9th graders. i've never had to do any online teaching before and i'm learning slowly but still struggling. any advice for teachers going into this new digital frontier? sal. >> my biggest piece of advice and this is for all of us who are going through significant transitions in our life is don't try to do too much all at once. if you take one step at a time and build up from there, you'll be able to make a lot of progress especially if this is an extended school closure situation. my advice is make sure your students, at least, get some
12:38 pm
focus time to learn during the day. i've told teachers and parents, at least two hours a day, reading and math are those two foundational skills for every one. depending on what you teach in 9th grade. we published schedules. we're not for profit and we have built a lot of the tools that are really valuable for times like this so that students can, in certain part offense ts of t focus on math and reading. from the teachers point of view, give schedules to your students. we have published schedules so they know how they can structure their days based on different age groups and if there's ways that even once a day, at least in this early phase you're able to equity cconnect with studentn use google hang out or zoom or facetime. you can go over their goals.
12:39 pm
>> we heard from a number of parents who asked i'm parent of two kids. one in middle school and one in high school. now that both schools are closed and moving to digital learning, i'm worried the lessons won't be as effective. am i wrong? is there something i should be doing to help ensure they are effective? >> for sure this is a suboptimal situation. i don't think any of us would think this is a good scenario for us to be in. we do have the unfortunate situation that for what's likely to the end of the school year, the learning will not be as strong as what you can get when you're fully immersed in a physical environment. >> i'm sorry to interrupt but i would be remiss in not pushing back because i can hear home school parents saying this situation works fine for us. the rest of the country is discoverying this for the first time and we have figured out how to use resources like khan academy. i hear where you come frg but i
12:40 pm
don't know there's household who is educate their kids like that and say they are doing just fine. >> absolutely. these incredible home schooling families have been doing snds they have been setting up these structures and supports and investing a lot of time. the situation we're finding ourselves in, i'm finding myself in this same situation at home is a lot of us have to work from home now. there's kids at home. how do you handle the child care? how do you keep them busy? there's different age groups. i think that's the difficulty is it's hard for parents in this type of environment where every one is at home to provide the same supports that many traditional home schooling parents. i think we can get close. we can keep students learning and because we are approaching summer, there's a world where the habits we form over the end of the school year, we can keep going through the summer. we have published schedules that can help structure days. we have been posting webinars on how to get students started with
12:41 pm
free tools like our own and structure the days. we have been running daily live streams we're calling a home room so people can feel connected every day. we and many others are trying our best to provide the support for parent, teachers and students and learn a lot from those home schooling parents. >> jennifer asks v you had anything about state or federal plans for educating special needs students. i cannot get my autistic children to engage in very much remote learning. are they being left high and dry during these closures? >> it's a tough situation. there are regulations for the world before covid. what's happening now, many schools, many districts, we have done a teacher survey, a majority of districts have shut down without a clear plan of what to do and the regulations are further behind that. i think every one is doing a little bit of improvisation now. there are tools and they are
12:42 pm
free. we want feedback on how we can better especially for students with special needs. >> conversation for another day. maybe you and i should talk about this in how much adults learn from their kids who are used to being social online when it comes to a formalized regimen and finding ways to make those two intersect. that's another conversation. for now sal khan, the funder ouf khan academy. the rapid fire round is next. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; don't start xeljanz if you have an infection. taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra
