if the president doesn't act, people will die who could have lived otherwise. >> we need millions of masks and hundreds of thousands of gowns and gloves and the rest and unfortunately, we're getting still just a fraction of that. >> we're going to continue to see these numbers go up. the problem that we have right now is we don't have enough test kits. i heard your conversation with the man from fema. we need test kits. >> hello, every one. the city's mayor is one of elected leaders sounding the

la alarm in the rapid spread of coronavirus. in an hour we will hear from the white house about the federal government's response to the pandemic. rand paul is the first senator to test positive for coronavirus. announcing today he's feeling fine and in quarantine. two members of the house tested positive in the past week. there are more than 29,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the united states and 368 people have died. new milestone today, estimates show nearly a billion people across the world are confined to their homes right now. one billion. in the u.s., more than 96 million people are being told to stay home with seven states announcing orders, including two today, ohio and louisiana. the treasury secretary is warning millions of americans could be forced to stay home until june. >> we need the money now. i would say weav're looking at this from a 10 to 12 week

scenario. this situation is moving quickly. we need to get the money into the economy now. if we do that, we think we can stabilize the economy. more testing sites are popping up, demands are so high some have to shut down soon after opening. thank you both for being with me. we know where we are right now. where do you expect this to be in a week's time? >> well, i expect us to have more cases. hopefully we won't see too many more deaths. i'm afraid i can't tell you it's going to be a lot better in one week's time. we're looking at least two weeks out from complete social distancing before we see a potential impact. >> that is the soonest we would be able to assess whether or not

the current measures have been effective? >> yes. >> with senator rand paul's announcement, we know three members of congress have coronavirus. senator paul was on the floor last week. how feworried should his fellow members of congress be in. >> this virus will not be something that spares senators or congressmen. this something that everybody can get infected with. what really matter s whether or not he had symptoms, when he had symptoms. people who are symptommatic, they are the main drivers of transmission. whoever was in contact with the senator when and if he had symptoms are at highest risk. if he can't have symptoms, i would think the risk is less. there's going to be many types of exposures like this. there's going to be many people have been diagnosed in places. that's just what happens with the virus. >> we were hearing there was

some understanding that older people were more at risk and yet what we heard from new york's governor just today was that just over half of the state's coronavirus patients are under 49 years old. doct dr. anthony fauci was asked about this. take a listen. >> why are young people getting ach affected this way when it wasn't expected. >> you nailed a critical issue. it looks like there's a big difference between that demography from china and what we're seeing in europe. we have to look at the young people who are getting seriously ill from the european cohort and make sure it isn't driven by the fact they have underlying conditions. >> what do you make of that response? >> i think it's valid response. we do know that's in this

cluster and those older have other medical conditions. it doesn't mean if you're young you're spared from that. you could have asthma and they there will be healthy people that get sick just by matter of chance. we do know, in general, those most at risk are those elderly and with underlying conditions. everybody needs to act as if this could be serious for them but it's important to remember where the deaths are clustering. >> the white house says the mortality rate in italy is twice as high as among men as in women. obviously, we're trying to read the tea leaves based on what is happening in other countries. how difficult is it to effectively treat this virus given how little we know about it? >> i think you've hit the nail on the head. it's very difficult to treat. what we have is we have supportive measures when people are hospitalized. we have medications that we use.

you've heard about chloroquine. we don't have a silver bullet for this and probably won't any time soon. >> all right. thank you both so much. you are looking at a live shot of the briefing room where president trump is set to address the nation in about an hour. we'll keep an eye on that and we'll bring it to you as soon as the president begins speaking. right now i'd like to bring in kimberly atkins. she's a senior washington news correspondent and a msnbc contributor. i want to begin with you. a lot of back and forth on the hill about that stimulus package. what is the latest? >> there's a lot of anxiety on capitol hill. senator rand paul became the first senator to test positive for covid-19. he's the third member of congress to test positive. all of this is happening in the

background while congress is trying to negotiate a package. the latest we're seeing is that democrats and republicans remain far apart on the proposal. democrats are demanding protection for workers and bail out money that businesses get. they want worker protections such as preventing businesses from firing employees. they want to stop the businesses from engaging in stock buybacks. they say the provisions there are too weak. they want stronger unemployment insurance and some members of the senate like bernie sanders, the presidential candidate, wants the checks that go to americans to be much more generous than the 1200 maximum per person that are being considered. he wants 2,000. a number of democrats want them to be recurring. there's a lot happening while the economy is in free fall and congress is not ready yet to

pass something. >> in addition to the list that was given where there miegs be differences between the two parts on this question, i'm hearing that part of what is in question is this -- the oversight that mnu chin would have over a fund and how he would be able to distribute the money. how big of a deal is that? >> part of this bill would include $425 billion fund. it would authorize the fed and the treasury to have a lot more oversight to grant that money to governments but also large companies.

it's a non-starter. that coupled with the lack of enough protections for democrats that are outlined is where the crucial sticking point is today. >> really big picture, there are two urgent matters here. there's getting this done and there's getting it done right. as the timeline continues to tick down, there was supposed to be a vote at 3:00. the vote is now at 6:00. how much pressure is building on members of both parties to get this legislation out the door. >> the pressure is absolutely enormous, as you can imagine. problem millions probably millions of americans have been laid out. supplies are running out t this point. the urgency is enormous at this point. it also happens while doctors and nurses and hospitals are writing to the trump administration, urging the be

president to use his authority to order businesses to create emergency equipment like masks and ventilators that are running short. the critical thing for congress right now is to get this money out quickly to people. time is not there. there are a number of experts i've spoken to say the checks they are target to people should be universal on the front end. united states the treasury secretary said nobody wants millionaires to get a check but you can give it on the front end and tax it back. it's impeertive is to get the money out quickly and do this as fast as possible. that's where congress seems to be struggling. >> thank you both so much. up next, more and more prosecutors are putting low level offenses on the back burner. aisle ta i'll talk to one of the first city attorneys to take that step. there's a lot of concern about the nation's prison population during this pandemic and a new york city inmate has

tested positive for virus. what can be done to keep the virus from spreading behind bars? that's next on msnbc live. when you shop with wayfair, you spend less and get way more. so you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one. for small prices, you can build big dreams, spend less, get way more. shop everything home at wayfair.com

just light the federal bureau of prisons announced the first inmate has tested positive for covid-19. the inmate remains in isolation in brooklyn and other inmates he was housed with are being quarantined as well. thank you so nuch fmuch for beih us. what's the core for adding up time when you have a pandemic sweeping through? >> thank you. thank you for having me on. the core concern for people incarcerated right now across the country is the lack of access to adequate health care

that happened before covid-19 and now that we're in this pandemic the current lack of health care that will create the pandemic inside of prisons. that is central issue that we should be deeply concerned about. >> you spoke with a woman whose brother is serving a 28 year sentence in california. what is her primary concern? >> that her brother is going to be impacted. that he is not going to be able to get home in the ways that he should. that he may die inside that prison. unfortunately, prisons are opaque. there's not a lot of transparency. while people are not allowed to visit their loved ones, we don't really know what's going on inside. >> the wall street journal has a reporting on this. there's been no reported major outbreaks yet but experts fear the coronavirus could overwhelm correctional facilities because there are more inmates than ever

and the older demographic is at greater risk. is our prison system equipped to handle an outbreak? >> certainly not. when you think about our prison population, 2.2 million people. the united states is the leading jailer across the entire world. with prisoners spread across the country in vast network of facilities. many like rikers island which people have been complaining about for a long time and it pushed the city to make plans to shut it down. we say there's been no major outbreak but the number in new york city went from 1 to now we have dozens, including people who are jailed as well as correctional officers and once any kind of disease or infection gets into these spaces with an already aging population, folks wo are already coming from marginalized communities, what we're looking at could be a nightmare if they don't start to letting folks out to lessen that population. we're looking at situation that could turn really bad, really

quickly. >> the federal prison system has suspended legal and social inmate visits in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. do you think that's the right thing to do? >> i think what the right thing to do right now is to release people from jails, release people from state prisons and federal prisons. there are people who are in jails that shouldn't be there. people who can afford bail. people who are there because they are mentally ill. groups were able to stop two jails from being built here but the demands we have been urging the county to move forward on have been too slow. now we're in pandemic. now there's a crisis. >> can i ask you about that measure specifically. how does that play out not being able to have a visit with your attorney? not being able to have social visit. what does that mean for people inside these facilities? >> it means they are trapped. they are unable to advocate for

themselves. it means they are unable to advocate for them as well. we're in a moment where the people who are most margin alizd are unable to get the services they need. that's a huge problem. >> you heard what patrice said. let them out. how likely do you believer that is in. >> it's already started with jails allowing a slow trickle of folks out of jail especially and not that it should matter whether someone is convict ofed a crime or not. when you're in jail, you're not guilty yet. you're awaiting trail. there's folks in there for low level nonviolent offenses. possession but i think cities and counties are starting to take it very seriously. not only is the population at risk itself but every day you have employees going into these

spaces who could then contract the virus and take it back to the communities or vice versa. i think cities and counties and states are beginning to take this seriously and starting to see the first steps of a slow trickle of some folks being let out early. >> if you want to bring that to scale if your own organizing, what have you seen to be the most effective? >> i mean we need a hole listic approach. we need to be calling on sheriff, judge, the county board of supervisors. all these official vs the ability to release people, to stop people have being arrested to give people health care. i mean, we are in global pandemic and the people that are trapped in jail and prisons are going to suffer the most. they've already suffered the most. >> in a moment we'll talk with baltimore state attorney about her decision to dismiss charges for some nonviolent crimes.

do you think that type of action is something we'll see in other cities? >> i think certainly. when you think about the wap we police for a long time. whether it's broken windows or stop and frisk. all this engagement with communities. we have long known it causes more harm than good. there's so many people in these spaces that shouldn't be there. right now, as we've said with other disasters whether it's hurricane katrina, the bandage has been ripped off. i think what we're seeing with the coronavirus, it's revealing who we are as americans. do we care about the most vulnerable of us. talk about children or the elderly or folks in the charge of the state. i think now we're beginning to have to confront this in way that maybe we had been reluctant to before. as the pandemic continues to spread and more people are impacted, i think we'll see folks taking action that might have been unthinkable just years ago. >> when you look at what is

happening in baltimore, in few weeks time, how do you assess whether or not the idea behind it worked? whether or not it was a success and whether or not that model is applicable to other cities and other states? >> i think we'll know if less people are being impacted and affected inside the jails. i think we'll know if those people who are being released out of jails are getting the proper health care, the proper care they deserve. in just a couple of days a number of people who have been directly impacted by the prison system are going to put out statement. people who have been inside these prisons, inside these jails will say the demands they think should be happening right now. we should be following their lead. >> all right. thank you both so much. as we have been discussing, the coronavirus outbreak is affecting every facet of our lives including the criminal justice system. baltimore state's attorney

general has ordered her staff to dismiss charges for some non-violent crimes. will other cities follow suit? thank you for joining us. talk to me about what went into this decision? >> thank you for having me. i think as prosecutors as already discussed, we are ministers of the criminal justice system. you have to be committed to not only justice. that's your main priority. justice over conviction and ensuring you're protecting the well being and safety of every one in your community regardless of race, ethnicity, country of origin and those obligations include people who are in jail as in prison. what we know is that jails and prisons cycle large numbers of people in and out of close, unsanitary, crowded quarters on a daily basis. they become breeding grounds for the coronavirus, it will not only affect those incarcerated

but our entire kbhuncommunity a large. >> i want to bring up the list you said would qualify, drug possession, minor traffic offenses. how did you decide what went into this list in. >> first and foremost i think it's important just not only prosecutors but for all of us overall. this is just one strategy. you are asking how can we know whether this is going to work. we have to think of larger sort of strategy. this was my attempt to set the guidelines for my office and instructing my prosecutors that from here on until the end of this quarantine period, we're not going to pursue charges and offenses for those offenses that pose no public safety threat. the cds possession, trespassing, open container, urinating and defecating in public. while other prosecutors are making these same krrconsiderat, we cannot afford to take a

piecemeal approach and argue every one on a individual basis. we need to develop a strategy. i think that will take the governor and that's one of the reasons why and instructing my prosecutors, i implored and wrote a letter to the governor to say what's the long term strategy. my governor has been doing a great job in the state of maryland. very courageous leadership. he's been reluctant to take critical steps to protect those that are arguably based upon the conditions of confinement some of the most vulnerable decisions that are incarcerated in jail and prison. >> i want to stick with that point about asking the governor to release inmates over the age of 60 and those that have been approved for parole. what is the push back? >> i mean, first and foremost we know these are the individuals that are more susceptible to this virus. i think it's important for us to understand and recognize that prison walls will not stop the virus from entering as we have correctional officer, we have food service workers, health

service workers and many other employees. quarantining and social distancing is virtually impossible in jails and in prison. to have this expectation that we have to ensure that the same way we're taking these steps to ensure the public outside of these prison walls are doing what they need to do to quarantine, we have to be very conscious of the fact that we have to make strategic steps for those inside of those walls as well. look at what just happened in rikers island. you have 2 is 1 inmate, 5 correctional workers that have tested positive. what we know from the public health experts is they have already made clear that prisons and jails intensify the spread of the virus. this could be catastrophic. we cannot allow the jails to be incubators. i've written to the governor and said i've set these guidelines but we need statewide guidelines

with so many lives at risk. one of the consideration we should consider is immediately releasing anyone over the age of 60 or anyone with immuno efficiency illness. release them to supervised release. release those who have been approved for parole board. the governor's signature is required in my state. i've called on him to immedia immediately employ that power. place them under supervised release. these are individuals set to get out in a short period of time. this is something the governor can do. consider suspending parole rev vagss for technical violations. we have got to take this serious. this is -- it's not just a merit of the lives of those individuals in those facilities but it's going to impact the lives of everybody else who is

in jeopardy all across this state. >> all right. thank you so much for joining us. j seattle was one of the first cities hit by the coronavirus outbreak. the federal government is practically on pause during the coronavirus. response and that means thousands of dreamers are waiting for their daca renewal. i'll talk to one of them, coming up. do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand.

seattle has been at the fore front of the coronavirus since the first case was niensannounc january. the city is one week ahead of the rest of the nation and has taken new measures to help those impacted from the economic fallout. seattle mayor joins me now. you're a week ahead of the rest of the country. what have you learned in that week's time? >> i will tell you that every week is almost like a dog year. any mayor or governor out there,

you cannot act too soon. we acted as quickly as we could you describe and we're still finding that we're playing catch up in many ways. >> look iing back, what do you wish you had done sooner in. >> number one is every one should do than assessments of their most vulnerable and mush as much as you can to those people as quickly as you can. that will build some resiliency. this could last for months. every city that faces this will have some devastating shoe inino make about thut shuting down their economy and having people out of work. one is making sure that on a health care setting you're very clear on what you need people to do. the message is clear. if you're 60 or older or if you have underlying health conditions, stay home. do not go out unless you need to. everybody that goes out needs to social distance. you have to be six feet away

crisis. i know in your state question of ventilators and how much are available is a big issue. what is within your control and your purview as a local leader and what really are you reliant upon the federal government for? >> so little is in our control, local leaders. we're relying on the federal government and the state. my number one job as mayor is to protect residents and businesses and unless we have healthy, health care workers, that won't happen in this crisis. for example, in the last week, i and others in the city have been doing a drive to collect protection equipment from health care workers so they can keep serving people. getting that and getting out to the hospitals because there was such a shortage. having to step in on supply chain issues that's why we need to have leadership at the federal level and the state level. governor inslee is doing all we

can. i don't want this to being the hunger games where seattle is fighting with new york over vent la -- vent latilators and basic equipment. our health care workers are leaders through this. >> nobody wants that. there is the health crisis and there's the economic fall out that's happening as a result of this health crisis. you implemented grocery voeuches and rent relief. how are those actions working? >> there's been great up tick and my only sor reis we can't do enough. we'll try to put more money into the grocery voucher program so people can afford to pay for their groceries. we stopped all evictions so people wouldn't lose their homes and making sure that power and water stay on. there's range of things that people are going to need. we have been doing a lot of work with our community, our

businesses, our non-profit to see if we can get more resources so we can directly help those small businesses and workers who have been just devastated. >> there's other cities that are going to watch and want to follow your lead. what would you tell other local leaders about what has worked when it comes to these economic responses and what you wish you were doing differently? >> i would say get as creative as you can and find ways. if you build resilience at the front end, hope flip it will come o come out at the other end. you have to implement the restrictions for people to stay home and stay at bars and restaurants sooner rather than later. the only thing we have to beat this virus is distance. it goes against all of us as human beings.

that's why it's so hard. city leaders, stay leaders need to step up because the federal government will not implement other than recommendations. if you see that virus today, if there's 10, that's probably 100. >> the senate right now is going back and forth, what is your message as someone who is in the forefront in this crisis to the leaders on capitol hill? >> get the money where it's needed and that's in the pockets of workers, small businesses and gig workers. particularly our gig workers who don't have any sick time. they could fall through the cracks. there's thousands of them. make local governments get that flexible funding like cities and counties because we can put it to work right away. i would say go boelld and go bi. we have to have this to go

this entire weekend. we hit a speed bump this afternoon. there are some areas where republicans and democrats are working together well and quickly. in particular, new loans to small businesses both for profit and non-profit. that's something a whole group has worked well together on. senators rubio and collins and a number of others. i'm excited about what's coming together in that space. at the highest level, virtually all of the democratic caucus mid afternoon had to put the brakes on and say there's just not enough in this bill to support higher education and student loan relief. to provide for accountability about how some of these massive new pools of hundreds of billions of dollars will be used to support industry. there isn't enough in here that would provide for vote by mail to make sure our lelections can go forward this fall securely and what you just did of mayor of seattle is support for state

and local government. i spent ten years in county government. i know that our local governments can get money out on the street fast. they are also the employers of the front line public health workers, the medics and ambulance drivers and paramedics and nurses and hospital orderlies and county hospitals who are doing so much of this work. we have to support them. s >> you just ticked through a pretty long list given where we are in this timeline. a source told the hill that republicans are refusing to add strong worker protections and democrats are concerned the language protecting employees of companies receiving federal assistance is just too vague. do you share those concerns? >> i do share those concerns. if we're going to put out nearly $2 trillion in assistance and we've got millions of americans facing layoffs, i think it is minimally responsible to say that we expect the companies that will be taking tens of billions of dollars of

assistance will sustain their payroll. we're fighting over some small differences in language but they are big differences in terms of impact on workers, on unions, on communities and on families. it's important that we recognize and respect the people who are taking the risk and doing the work here. whether it's the folks cleaning offices and cleaning train cars for amtrak and for commuter rail or the folks serving and working and cleaning hospitals and senior centers. we're going to make sure there isn't price gouging on drugs that are funded through this process and we're going to tie to ensure to the extent some of our biggest companies get through this and recover that workers will share in that recovery. >> we just learned a few hours ago that one of your colleagues, senator rand paul, has tested positive for covid-19 and he was at the senate gym this morning. the senate is now weighing to

sel self-quarantine to vote remotely. what do you think is the greatest likelihood? >> we don't have provisions for voting remotely. after 9/11, lot of work was done to figure out,0 how to move to another location and vote as a group there. ultimately conversations about how the vote remotely broke down. that should be a reminder for us that as we get through this pandemic, this crisis, we have to prepare for future one. we have not invested enough. the response of the federal government to the needs for testing and for equipment, for protective gear and provisions hasn't been as swift as it needs to be. folks don't want us engaging in partisan bickering but as we look forward to how we're going to recover from this, i think it's important to learn the lessons of the past. we don't have provisions to vote remotely and we ought to have p provisions for voting by mail to

make sure our election in november happens on time. >> thanks so much. >> thank you. up next, as the government's response to the coronavirus ramps up, a lot of other services are going dark and that's left thousands of dreamers caught in limbo. i'll talk to one of them next. we're counting to a briefing from the president and the white house coronavirus task force. that's at 5:00 p.m. eastern. at 6:00 p.m., the senate will be back in session and working on the coronavirus stimulus package. we'll have complete coverage on msnbc. new tide power pods one up the cleaning power of liquid. can it one up spaghetti night? it sure can. really? can it one up breakfast in bed? yeah, for sure. thanks, boys. what about that? uhh, yep! it can? yeah, even that! i would very much like to see that. me too. introducing new tide power pods. one up the toughest stains with 50% more cleaning power than liquid detergent. any further questions? uh uh! nope! one up the power of liquid with new tide power pods. ♪ oh, oh, (announcer)®! ♪ once-weekly ozempic® is

the threat of spreading coronavirus has closed all u.s. immigration services leaving many immigrants in limbo. it is putting a halt on immigration processing and could be putting dream here's are awaiting renewals on their daca applications at risk. the supreme court the deciding whether the president trump can end the daca program created under president obama. a ruling is expected before the end of june 2020. with me, a dreamer awaiting his daca renewal. nice to see you. what does this mean practically for you? >> reporter: well, thank you so much for having me. many folks who are watching this may have done who are dreamers, we just like myself, have submitted our renewal applications. the closure of the offices, there is essentially another gap

here that has been created where we're unclear as to what will happen to our applications. will they be adjudicated on time? will we get our supreme court decision before we get a renewal, before we get our daca renewals? that leaves us questioning, what will happen if the supreme court rules as early as tomorrow, monday and we don't have renewals on hand. >> so what could happen? >> the consequences are great. many have heard the story of the daca program. there are 700,000 beneficiaries of this program out there. some of whom are working in the front lines of combatting the coronavirus. you're talking about ems, grocery store clerks, food delivery services. for me, that is exemplary behavior. what we are essentially asking

the trump administration is to extend the daca program permits for two extra years, and withdraw their appeal from the supreme court so that our lives can continue to have a sense of normalcy during this time. >> i want to ask you more generally about coronavirus. you well know the senate is going back and forth over a package. this statement was issued. to combat the spread of coronavirus, congress must include testing and and treatment for dreamers, tps holders, and undocumented families in the third coronavirus package. barring them from access to testing, medical services and economic stimulus benefits would have devastating consequences. when you talk to your friends, who are also like you daca recipients, on one hand, i'm

sure you are very focused on the legality of your daca cases. at the same time, you're here living with the same pandemic everybody else is living with. what is your message to gong whether or not undocumented communities should be included in this package? >> well, absolutely. i think it is more pivotal than now to essentially include this population of the under documented population in the united states. i say this because there are a lot of families, tps holders, undocumented immigrants, who are unclear as to whether or not they'll be able to get tested or receive any sort of benefit that would continue for them to feel secure and to take care of themselves and their loved ones. the trump administration has unleashed all kinds of immigration policies. one is the so-called public charge. what the public charge states,

if any sort of undocumented immigrant takes benefit from the government, they can be subject to a penalty and potential deportation. and it is this type of uncertainty by immigration officials, on top of the current policies of this administration, that creates fear of people coming forward if they exhibit symptoms of the coronavirus, it is not that it makes that individual unwell or unhealthy but it expires an entire community, states. it affects us all. we're all in this together and we need the benefit and the care for everyone. >> i appreciate your time as always. keep it right here for the coronavirus update right here at 5:00 p.m. eastern. politics nation with reverend al sharpton is next.
