first up here on msnbc, the president's talk of a quarantine quashed. other restrictions tightened. what this means for millions stuck inside a coronavirus hot spot. new expectations for new york. when infections will peak and whether hospitals will be ready. the search for a cure. a clinical trooif trooil approved for a drug that sparked the most hope. plus a former army officer tells me about his plans to get face masks to hospital workers who desperately need them. a very good morning to all of you. welcome. it is sunday, march 29th, it's 7:00 here in the east. we beginning with breaking news on the coronavirus pan ddemic.

121 is,000 cases in the u.s. a record 20,000 new infections reported just yesterday alone. and overnight the national death toll is topping 2,000, doubling in just two days. president trump is backing away from comment he is made saturday about a federal federally enforced quarantine in new york, new jersey and connecticut. new york governor firing back sigh saving he doesn't even know if that's legal. >> i don't believe he could be serious that any federal administration could be serious about a physical lockdown of states or parts of states across this country. i don't believe it's legal. i think it would be economic chaos. i don't think the american people would stand for it. >> and overnight, a new travel advisory impacting more than 21 million americans. the cdc now urging people in new

york, new jersey and connecticut to refrain from non-essential domestic travel for 14 days. that starts immediately. we have a team of reporters and analysts following all the latest for us. we're going to begin in new york city, the epicenter of the outbreak here in the yuts. the numbers are rising steadily as they have been since march 14th. as the number of cases comes closer to 31,000, 155 deaths yesterday, that's the highest number in a single day. let's to my colleague in new york city. good morning to you. new this morning, the cdc's travel advisory for the region came into effect overnight. translate what this means for people in these states. >> reporter: good morning to you. this overnight news as people are waking up, people in new york, new jersey and connecticut learning that if you live in those states and you need to travel, you're likely going to

have to cancel your plans for the next 14 days. you cannot travel out of state. that's the advisory the cdc is urging. now this does not apply to everyone. according to cdc guidance that came out overnight does not apply to employees in critical industries including trucking, public health professionals, financial services and food supply. the governors of new york, new jersey and connecticut have full discretion to implement these changes. honestly, they really do want to be able to have control over the situation. because as we just heard from governor cuomo, he questioned the president's ability to institute the full quarantine he feel this is might be a more manageable situation. as we mentioned, it's very specific instances that you can travel out of state. otherwise you need to stay put. hopefully you can hear me. we have sirens going on behind us.

we are right outside mount sinai west here. we know this area has received four days of record 911 calls in this emergency coming out. going back to what these latest changes mean when it comes to the travel advisory and all the changes coming out of the tri-state area, governor cuomo pushed back the primaries to june 23rd. he's also pushed back tax day to july 15th for both personal and corporate taxes. >> i got to tell you hearing that ambulance is the sound track of new york city. thank you very much for that. let's go to philadelphia which announced 169 new presumptivive cases of coronavirus. and overall, pennsylvania's infection rate is growing with more than 2700 cases and nearly three dozen deaths. but the number of young patients there might be what's most

alarming. it's the home of the philadelphia phillies, which no bats or gloves or balls being tossed around that field unfortunately. why are you there? what's the point of this location? >> reporter: there's no baseball games being played here today, but there is a drive-thru mobile testing site. my photographer is going to show you. there's a few tents that are set up for testing today. if you live in the area and above 50 years old or are a health care worker and showing symptoms of coronavirus, you can drive through here. there's minimal touch iing and e test you just drive right through and health officials are ready to take the test for you. you'll get the results back in a couple days. like you said, i want to point out the age breakdown. although everyone has been talking about coronavirus affecting the elderly, half of all infected patients here in pennsylvania are, in fact, young. 11% are 19 to 24.

and 39% are 25 to 49. the governor of pennsylvania and secretary of health really adamantly pushing that community spread and social distancing are things we need to keep an eye on because this virus can affect everyone. the governor here you know we're 90 miles south of new york city. so that travelled ed advisory a many areas, but we're just a along the northeast corner of the massive spread of the the virus. the cases have increased here 25% every day. it's getting bigger here as well. the governor telling pennsylvanians if they have traveled to new york city recently, they should also be self-quarantining for 14 days. so he's been acting early and often. issuing a state disaster declarati declaration that was on march 6th. but the university of pennsylvania's medical school

dean said we're nowhere near pennsylvania's peak. he's predicting that to be mid-may. >> thank you so much. much appreciated. joining me now is the chief medical officer. we have this death toll doubling in two days. it's now over 2,000 in this country. the amount of cases in the u.s. increasing by 20,000 yesterday. why are we seeing such a dramatic increase in the numbers right now. are we moving towards that apex? >> yeah, that's really a great question here. these are cases that are starting to come to the hospital that have probably been infected in the last one to two weeks. it's really a lot of the social distancing and the measures that we took into consideration a few weeks a ago that we're seeing the impact for now. unfortunately, we're seeing a lot of that impact in new york city at the moment. >> absolutely. speaking of new york city, the governor yesterday said that new york the state itself could see

the apex in about 14 to 21 days. let's take a listen to him. >> flatten the curve so the apex never happens, god forbid it happens, make sure we have as much of the equipment staff that we would need for that moment. a few updates. they forecast the apex to be 14 to 21 days. again, that changes on the modelling every time the case load goes up or down a little bit. that affects the calculation on the apex. what do you need? 140,000 beds. that's hospital beds, dormitory beds, we're working on b that every day. we're getting closer and closer to that 140,000 number. >> doctor, the governor predicted the apex in 21 days. is that a good thing it may be down to 14? that was a flip. it was 14 to 21.

do you see that as a good sign and i'm curious how long the apex could last? >> sure, it's really hard to predict. it depends on the modelling that they have. it's really a prediction. so it could be anywhere from 14 to 21 days. not sure i would bank on the 14 days right now. they have to olympian for the possible 21. to make sure we have enough capacity to take care of those patients. if we end up less than that, that's great news, but we have to plan for the 21 days. >> can you tell me in terms of testing, your sense of where we are compared to other countries? south korea was one that was doing very well. do we know how many americans have actually been tested? can we find a real testing number and how important is that number? >> sure, it is important to be automobile to test. especially those sick enough to come to the hospital and present. so we want to get those numbers. unfortunately, we have not been a able to ramp up the testing to

the extent that south korea has. most other countries have not been able to replicate what south korea has. a few systems have been approved by the fda. we hope that will increase the capacity and allow health care providers to do more testing as appropriate there. so we're hoping that this will improve in the next coming weeks. >> stay with me. i want to get your thoughts on another aspect of everything. the cdc guidelines just issued overnight. let's go to the white house. month ica alba is stand ining b. it's been issued in the tri-state area that being new york, new jersey, connecticut with the president tweeting about it. walk us through what happened and how this all unfolded? >> a lot of fast-changing developments. it went from a floated idea to a abandoned in the matter of half a day. the president started by discussing a conversation he had

with florida's governor saying he was very concerned about a lot of people leaving new york and coming to florida. the president mentioned that to reporters on his way to norfolk yesterday and said they would be making a decision a about a potential quarantine. but over the next little bit, all of the governors from new york, new jersey and connecticut said they weren't sure what the president was referring to. they hadn't spoken to him and weren't sure how it could be implemented and what it would mean for millions of people mostly under a stay at a home order already. so a few hours laurt, the task force met here the at the white house when they weren't scheduled to. we know they met by phone earlier er in the day, but it ws a day they weren't going to be briefing they were taking the day and working more remeetly. but mike pence was here at the white house around 6:00 p.m. to meet on this new issue the president had raised. and ultimately they recommended that cdc guideline about the non-essential travel and that really just means that for these

next couple week, they are urging people in new york, connecticut and new jersey not to go anywhere or travel for any reason that they don't need to. but they expect that to continue for at least the next couple weeks. but as you said, the apex may not come for another three weeks. so this could extend even beyond that. the idea of a quarantine is no longer being considered. they are looking to the states to take the lead. >> as you said, the fact is this can change on a day by day basis. thank you for that. we'll see you again today. the doctor is back with me. as we talk about travel restrictions. are they coming too late? this virus has spread to every state. i'm curious how effective they can be. to the point my colleague was making, she was there in pennsylvania, philadelphia, 90 days away from where i am in new

york city. it's not like right above the border between the states there's some sort of line that a virus can't cross. so talk about these restrictions and how effective you think they can be. >> that's the problem. the virus doesn't recognize any kind of political borders or internation international borders. it's important we maintain the stay at homes and social distancing for enough time to allow people to recover and allow people to avoid getting infected. and that's why it's really important we are continuing these social distancing measures for some time to come. >> in terms of what cities nationwide are bracing for, everyone has been hearing about new york city. we are the epicenter here. but we have other potential hot spots. those include boston, chicago, detroit, atlanta, milwaukee, los angeles, to you think it's possible we see the major outbreaks in those areas social distancing measures.

can that do enough to stop it or soften that apex to a more gently sloping curve? >> that's really the idea there that social fits tadistancing c flatten the curve. to your earlier question, we are probably going to see more. what we have seen in new york is devastating. but we're probably going to see more of that in other cities a as well. really even rural america has not seen this hit them yet. that's likely to come in the next couple weeks. so preparing nationally is really important for this. >> is new york city part of the problem here? there's no other city in the nation that is densely back packed in the way we are here in new york. >> certainly, the population density does credit another level of issues that are there. and the ability to have such a high number of cases in the

small area. but it doesn't mean that other areas are completely immune to that and they can't get it. they may neat not feel the severe impact, but other areas will feel impact as well. >> last question for those hanging on to the hope that sum is ser time the warmer weather will bring a flux coronavirus cases as naturally viruss will die out, what are y your thoughts on that? >> it's hrd to say. the viruss are not going to follow any specific calendar. it's about being able to infect other people who are not yet immune to them. therefore, will it start to slow down, yes, but it will take time to do that. we may be well into summer before some of this completely stops. it's really hard to predict at this point. >> we appreciate what you're sharing. thank you so much. new frustration from

welcome back. taking a look at chicago. 6:20 in the morning there. so dawn is just around the corner. as us yo see the lights of the night, which some of them will be turned off soon. very empty streets. not only because of the hour, but because of people practicing social distancing and staying home following the guidelines. developing this morning, governors expressing frustration because they are beg iging the federal government for help and they are struggling to obtain key medical supplies. >> it would be better if with wrnlt living a at a time where we were competing with other states. that's our reality. >> we have gotten a shipment from the federal government's strategic national stockpile. the allotment of ppe allocated

for one of our hospitals was thot enough to cover a full shift. >> we must flatten the everythicurve and ensure residents are practicing social distancing. as i have said before, no time to panic, but it is time to be smart, proactive, transparent, a aggressive. it is also no time for business as usual. >> there's a new report from the "washington post" revealing how states desperate for material from the stockpile are encountering a baa leaguer ed system. good morning to you. we have three state officials there. many others saying they do not understand the standards that determine how much of the national strategic stockpile they will get. why is there so much confusion surrounding this?

>> i did a little research before coming on air. it's a couple things. the broadest take aways that the federal government is able to disseminate all the supplies needed and the president has been looking at the national strategic stockpile as a way to hand out these types of equipment. however, the governors, they are not just democratic governors. you heard from republicans as well. this system is way too confusing and they need the supplies yesterday. the executive branch also has the ability to instruct certain businesss and companies to manufacture and to change their supply chains in order to boost equipment. you saw that on friday when the president ordered gm to start making supplies to combat this pandemic. >> absolutely. but some states don't feel as equal as others. because several states receive on a fraction of what they request. but "the washington post" points

out florida has been an exception in its dealing with the stockpile. that state receiving two full shipments of everything it asked for this month, according to figures from the state's division of emergency management. do you find it curious that florida it's state where the president claims residency, is getting everything it asks for. the president wants governors critical of him to show appreciation. so is politics play iing a rolen the allocation of supplies? >> certainly hope not. i think you ask a really important question. i think we have to look at the data that's coming in as it relates to additional hot spots that are going to happen. so from a federal level, when you talk to and listen to dr. fauci and others, you lock at how they are describing this pandemic. right now, new york city and new york state very much under the

grips of this pandemic. but where this virus moves next and there's been a ton of reporting as well as data that suggests that florida could be another hot spot in the weeks and months ahead. so is from a federal standpoint, they would argue not the president president but the federal bureaucracies would argue they have to make sure they are allocate iing for additional hot the spots. one thing we have learned in the short-term is that america as a whole could have been much better prepared. >> for sure. there's also a point a an eld irly population in the state of florida a as well. the president and vice president are saying materials are being purchased for this stockpile. they have been urging states to buy supplies on their own and you heard the governmeor saying many state officials are finding that advice to be unrealistic because what they are finding is they are in bidding wars. we have 50 states try ing ing t

access to supplies and the federal government. does the president have a responsibility to lead a bigger national response on this? does he have the tools? is he capable of doing that? >> absolutely. it's up to him to deal with the system that america has right now. to your point, the notion that the united states of america was not better prepared for this as it relates to dividing things up, there has to be -- the time isn't for congress to pass new legislation now. they have to figure out a system for how to allocate these resources immediately. so once this virus moves on from new york, that other states are not having to work with the

stockpile as well as the fema guidelines so all of this can be disseminated and other folks aren't overly prepared if they are not going to have the virus spread there and other states like michigan, florida and ot r others that are likely going to see a surge in the cases are prepared so they can tackle this head on. if that starts, to your point, that means that there has to be non-partisan cooperation. >> yeah, okay. you make good points a as well thank you so much. we'll see you again. stay safe. government payouts are coming. the treasury secretary says americans will see money in three weeks. those who earn up to $75,000 will receive $1200. double for joint filers. plus $500 for each child. although this bill covers most americans, "the wall street journal" writes that millions of people will be left out. joining me now is ya finance with a twok you on this sunday

morning. this bill gives direct payments based on income. adds money per child. but what about dependents who are not children? who is left out by this bill? >> that's the biggest problem here. we're seeing there are millions of americans who have been length of time out from getting these one-time direct payments that are december prosecutely needed for so many americans who have been impacted financial ly by the coronavirus outbreak. so who is left out? that includes people that others usually put as dependents on their tax returns. that includes some elderly, some disabled people, high school students, college students and also immigrants who don't have social security numbers. while many americans were waiting for this $2 trillion fiscal stimulus to become law, we're seeing that legislators actually left out a whole bunch of other people who did need that financial help. >> so on the social security number question there, does that mean you must have the social

security number to receive a payment? >> that's right. when it comes to those $1200 direct payments, those checks that americans are waiting for, it you're ab immigrant, you're left out of this. you're going to continue to face the financial devastation from the coronavirus outbreak without much financial relief. >> what about people who made over $99,000 a year? and they have filed that income to the irs but have since been laid off? do they get anything? >> right, so if they have been laid out off, they benefit from the unemployment benefit extensions. if you're making $75,000 or less, then you are getting that full amount. but if not, you're not getting the full $1200 amount because that's being phased out.

the more you earn, the less you have. but in terms of unemployment benefit extensions included in the package, you have additional 13 weeks of unemployment and an additional $600 per week added on top of state unemployment benefits. >> stock markets, to say they have bye-been in a roller coasts an understatement. this bill was sign ed on friday. do you think this finally starts to cut down on the volatility will be what will markets do? >> we're going to see more volatility. we saw on friday the dow closed down more than 900 points you can expect more of that this week. this is also because we continue to get very challenging economic news. this week we found out that more than 3 million people lost their jobs. and because unemployment systems around the country have been so stressed and challenged, some economists expect people who wanted to file for unemployment last week weren't able to do it until this week.

we expect the number reported next week is going to be even higher. >> thank you so much. do take care. questions about face masks and who should wear them. what doctors are saying about how effective they are even if they are home made. w effective f they are home made (clown 1) sorry about that...

here's the latest on the coronavirus epidemic. the cdc is asking people in new york, new jersey and connecticut to avoid non-essential travel for the next 14 days. it comes hours after the president said that he was considering a quarantine of those states and then becomed off that threat. rhode island now taking its own steps to keep new yorkers out of his state. the governor announced state police are instructing any car with a new york license plate for questioning and anyone staying will be ordered to

quarantine. new york's governor says that's not legal. >> if they don't roll back that policy, we'll sue rhode island. that clearly is unconstitutional. they are a neighboring state. i'm sure we're going to be able to work it out, but i think we need balance it all of this. we have to keep the ideas and t the. >> reporter: residents are following that stay a at home order. nationwide the total number of cases surpassed 120,000. more than 2,000 people have died. here's a look at this morning's newspaper is covering this. deaths in u.s. doubled in two days.

"washington post" leading with death toll surges pass 2,000 in u.s. "the boston globe" says the virus hits pay and doctors and medical staff as hospitals make cut backs in the face of shortfalls. and spanish language leads with the extreme pat the here in new york as the state passes 50,000 infections and 700 deaths. so with the number of coronavirus cases on the rise, a clinical trial is underway. it's a drug that could help people with coronavirus recover nmore quickly and one doctor on that study says we a may find out if it works in a matter of months. joining me is internist and physician. glad to have you here. let's talk about several public health officials who have been quite open about being hopeful about this drug. how about you? what do you make of it? >> that's a great question. i think we have very good reasons to believe that there

obviously are antiviral activities. but it's hard to say. the gold standard is conducting these trials in this specific setting. so it's hard to say. we're going to have to look at what the data shows. and we always have to balance the efficacy with the risk level. so this is what we're going to be finding out. >> you agree with the prospect of a couple months or a matter of months, i don't want to underplay this whether it does work? >> again, i think that it's a very tough question to answer. and whenever we're as medical professionals recommending a treatment, we want to make sure that it's safe and effective and we're balancing that safety and efficacy in the best way possible. >> absolutely. but to your point, doctor, what are the risks for people who go down this road without it being

proven? >> that's a great question. so i think that's the reason we are kind of speeding up the process. i agree with you. it's not the ideal time line, but at the same time, we need to collect more data and have more information. until we do these trials, we don't know what aof the down sides are going to be and the effects are going to be. >> what about masks? lots of controversy now. some guidelines suggesting that it people could wear masks. they don't know how effective they are. common sense would suggest there's no problem with wearing a mask. what do you think about the mask situation right now? >> i agree. i think that the messaging has been confusing for people. we are hearing from the the cdc and the w.h.o. that the recommendations still unless you

are sick yourself or taking care of somebody on the front lines, the recommendations are still not to wear a mask. however, common sense and even some studies done on personal protective equipment and compared to the masks with the surgical masks is showing there is some level of protection from all of these different types of mas masks. now we also can't forget that we're social distancing so that's number one. don't go out. you're not going to get exposed. at the same time, we're getting deliveries, we're touching surfaces. we potentially could have other ways of being exposed and it's really important as everybody has been saying to practice hand hygiene and hand washing and if you are engaging with somebody in a workplace setting as an essential worker, it's important to keep your distance. >> ab chutely. you should see the halls here.

we avoid each other. but wave. and i will say with regard to masks, there's a mental health component for people want that to wear that it makes them feel better. if it makes you feel better, great. i want to get one more specific with "the washington post" report. hospitals are considering universal do not resuscitate orders for coronavirus patients. northwestern memorial has been discussing a do not resuscitate policy for infected patients regardless of the wishes of the patient or family members. a wrenching decision to prioritize the lives of the many over the one. are doctors having to make these life and death decisions? >> absolutely. i think this is just devastating. it's definitely something even when we're not in a pan ddemic d dealing with very sick patients in the icu, there's the weight

of this decision and obviously the impact of this decision is huge let alone in the midst of a pandemic and chaos. it's devastating. >> doctor, best of luck to you. thank you for joining us and sharing your insights. so many people who cannot find a face mask are using anything they can. but a an army veteran is taking action. y veteran is taking action tv sports announcer: oh! let's go to a commercial. not another commercial! when you bundle your home, auto and life insurance with allstate you could save 25%. the more you bundle the more you can save. what? bundle and save. click or call for a quote today. ♪ oh, oh, (announcer)®! ♪ once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like james

disheartening. but this mask, this variant, this is disposable. one time use. this mask once you use the filter material, you can immerse this in an alcohol-based solution and kill every patho n pathogen. you can kill it. us you can reuse this type of mask and you just need to create the filters. and there are certain companies that can take this material and they can cut filters by the hundreds of millions in a matter of days. not weeks. not months. not years. we provided solutions to every government official and submitted every single application for emergency approval to get these things test. i don't want to make masks. i never wanted to make masks and never want to make them again. i don't want to profit one dollar. i want to keep my 200 employees employed by making masks at this point in time. we want to go back to making our usa made shirts. that's what i want to do.

>> i got to tell you, tyler. i hope to god you get to do what you want to do. one question. i want to know. of those three masks you showed us, which one isn't, if not all three, that you at nine line apparel are making. making thes currently selling online. we're selling them for exactly what they cost me. they cost me 50 cents. i limit to one ten pack for online. if you are an institution that actually needs these, hospital, military unit, we will send them to you in bulk. you just have to contact us. and we're doing that for free. we are not charging a dollar. i will make zero dollars. i will likely go bankrupt from this. the only thing i've been asking is a reimbursement for the r&d work we're conducting on our own. i'm trying things on my own. i'm a pilot and have pilot friends. i flew things from atlanta to here last night so i could get things expedited. there's two things that require an n is the 95 mask. it has to be a vacuum seal and needs filtration.

we have a vacuum seal product that was created by local dentists, and we're going to share this online. you can make this with a 3d printer. it's not approved. >> tyler, for your work in special ops and even more so for what you're doing now, with a grateful heart i thank you for this interview and best of luck. we'll be following nine line apparel. so what a difference a year could make. i will speak with dara torres the impact decision is having on athletes.

the summer olympics in tokyo may have been postponed but officials say the games are still in limbo due to coronavirus. japan's prime minister says the virus would need to be contained in all participating countries in order for those games to even take place next year. joining me now via skype former olympic swimmer and 12-time olympic medalist dara torres. so good to see you. got to say watching you perform back in the day was like poetry in motion. beautiful. but anyway, what was your reaction when you first heard the olympics were getting pushed back, dara? >> i think i felt for the athletes because these athletes train their whole entire life for this one moment, and they have it on their schedule that this moment is going to be 2020 in the summer, so now these athletes have to reset their brains. they have to reset their bodies and really take a step back and figure out, okay, now we have to redo this time line and figure out how we're going to do this training again, because a lot of these athletes, especially swimmers, their olympic trials are in june.

so they are probably getting up to their peak and they're going to start tapering back and getting ready for these olympic trials. they have to push the reset button and figure out how to do the timing of this all over again. >> absolutely. >> for hopefully the summer of 2021. >> they certainly have already ruled out spring so summer looks like the earliest. a full year, though, dara, if not beyond, i mean, what percentage of athletes do you think can maintain that kind of top flight excellence? >> i think a lot of them, at least in our sport, do a lot of dry land training because the pools are closed. they have to abide by the social distancing. i'm not really sure about this percentage but i guarantee they're not sitting around eating bonbons but are doing something. if this was me training at 41 years old and had to wait another year, that might be a disadvantage for me because i'm a year older. for some of the younger athletes it might be an advantage because olympic trials hasn't happened yet and they may have a shot at this in a year.

>> yeah, okay. well, certainly that's a silver lining perspective. i'm sorry we're out of time but thank you for weighing in. best of luck to you and your family. >> stay safe. >> you, too. i'm alex witt. how con artists are exploiting your ferp ar of coronavirus to swindle you. we are all one jeep community and we can help. so we're offering payment assistance, 24/7 support and the option to shop at jeep.com. we're offering 0% financing for 84 months with no payments for 90 days. because better days are just down the road. ♪ better days jeep, helping you drive forward. ♪ better days when youyou spend lessfair, and get way more. so you can bring your vision to life and save in more ways than one.
