abbott: thank you. >> thank you, governor. we all appreciate your thoughtful leadership throughout this crisis. it was a little more than a month ago today that you announced to the people of texas that we would begin to reopen our state in a safe and methodical manner, based, as you said, on hard data and medical expertise. and that is exactly what you have done today. well, today is one step forward in that measured process of getting texans to work. the strategies you continue to put forth are protecting our most vulnerable citizens while at the same time aggressively responding to the hotspots in texas that may arise. we are grateful that the health and safety of our citizens remains your absolute highest priority. and throughout this process, this has been a team approach. so i would like to thank lieutenant governor patrick and his team for their support, input. thank you, speaker, for your continued support and input. i would also like to thank our volunteer strikeforce members and our doctors. they have given an incred

abbott: thank you for what you have done. we have had a chance to talk a lot on the phone during the course of this pandemic, but the staff you provided, the vice president i spoke this past week, and dr. birx, getting her advice. the team you provided to us, the resources, helped us roast bond -- helped us respondly. before the pandemic, texas was the leading nation for gross domestic product growth. we were the economic powerhouse of the u.s. and we are ready to get there again. we are going through the process of slowly opening back up, doing the right strategies to open up while at the same time reduce the spread. i want to thank the people of texas. it is the people of texas who have done a great job of slowing the spread, washing their hands, wearing masks, practicing distancing, to make sure we reduce the spread. because of that we are announcing more and more businesses opening up gradually, to make sure we do not expand the spread. we are doing so in a way to make sure texas will once again reclaim its position as th

governor abbott made the right decision.reme court backed him up in granting shelley luther her freedom back. right now we have a terrible situation in the united states where one in five americans is unemployed. it is essential that we start getting these businesses back open and people back working again. and you know, the power of government really, and really it's just, you know, the legitimacy of government is based on the consent of the governed. we have a lot of lawmakers, a lot of governors around this country who are acting like they're the masters and not the servants. it is not up to them to decide what is essential and non-essential. the burden of proof is on the government to say why a business shouldn't get back open if it doesn't meet health concerns that are there. but really, i mean, all businesses are essential and all workers employed by these businesses view it that way. jackie: kelly, let me push back and play devil's advocate for a second because there is a period where we didn't necessarily have the ho

greg abbott did you ever spend money on that? >> that is white texas is not like the other states because we don't spend money like they do t also that is exactly why leader mcconnell has made it clear. this is a nonstarter with those types of programs. the federal government is not going to bail out the states that have been irresponsible in a way that they have budgeted their states. texas, florida and other states have done a better job in budgeting and therefore, better able to respond to these challenges. >> sean: well said, governor, great job down there. we will make adjustments. it will not be perfect. everybody is doing the best they can. thank you. tonight joe biden the ever forgetful one hiding in his basement. now his former boss barack obama speaking for him over the weekend. he delivered several commencement speeches and per usual barack never misses to lecture us on how terrible our country can be. take a look. >> these are normal times. you are being asked to find your way in a world in the middle of a devastating

but the highly-touted abbott i.d. now test, which can give results in minutes, missed up to 15% of infected patients. another study found that it potentially missed 25% of infections. and that's a concern because, despite their negative test results, those people are actually infected and can still spread the virus. >> you would never want to use that test to screen somebody in the hospital, to put them into a covid-negative unit. because, in that case, you can't afford to make a mistake. >> in a statement, abbott said that the type of viral transport media, the chemical used to carry the virus sample, could be diluting samples. we immediately communicated with our customers that they should use the direct swab method. the findings of the study are, still, yet to be peer reviewed. >> just because we need something put out emergently, doesn't mean we should put out things that don't work appropriately. >> when asked if accuracy was sacrificed at the expense of speed, an fda spokesperson told cnn, fda oversight doesn't

hackett, abbott itself says the test may provide false negative.id not use the solution and still had a huge number of inaccurate results. what could explain their results? >> if someone gets a false negative but still had coronavirus, that person is going to go and spread that coronavirus, that's very, very dangerous. >> so my colleagues actually called the research at nyu and had a discussion. frankly any report like this obviously we are concerned about because we want to provide the best diagnostics we can. these researchers acknowledged their study had significant limitations. part of the studies did include the use of the virus transport to the media. this is not a well-controlled clinical trial by any means. i will say the data is very interesting when one looks at the ct counts relate to the amount of virus presence, there is a disproportionate number of specimen that had extreme lily levels of virus in them. when questions were asked, there were no real answers provided by researchers as to how this would be the case, certainly not the nor

test and found that the abbott test was missing positive results. these were results found to be positive by the other test from people who had symptoms of covid. this really, and they missed a lot of them. that calls into question, is the white house using a test that is missing a lot of positive cases? i spoke to one infectious disease expert, peter hotez, on our network often, it's time for calling an audible on the tests. he said that's when the quarterback says, wait a second, we have to change everything. i learned something, and what he's saying, may be time for the white house to consider using a different test. >> you're cracking me up with that, elizabeth. do you think they'll change tactics at the white house? clearly, they should. >> i think right now, this test -- >> i'm sorry, gloria, go ahead. >> go ahead, elizabeth. >> i think right now, the white house is kind of invested in the abbott test and the president said that he feels safe because everybody who comes into contact with him is tested. then that's a problem for them. so i'm no

n now, we know the abbott test by name because the president has pushed the abbott test. he's had it there as a problem in the rose garden almost like telemarketing. it's the test they use at the white house for press core, staff, president, vice president. this has got to be concerning to you as you and i have talked about false positive and false negative rates. >> deeply concerning, brian. this is -- the fact that the president keeps going to this test -- he promoted it just two days ago at his white house press briefer. literally two days ago. first he needs to get new aides to brief him because he's not getting the best available science and data making him look bad for no reason. this test is effectively useful. new york university did a test and said they would not put it in their hospital because it's producing so many false negatives. the abbott id now test came to great fanfare two months ago. it is effectively not usable anymore per these studies. the president should stop messaging on it. this comes to a larger question of the fda. they said we made a mistake

we've been doing some reporting on abbott for some time.d before the commercial break, this is obviously a significant sort of test, because it could give results really quickly. if you're waiting days for your test results and you end up having the virus, you don't know it, you could be out there spreading it, that's been the concern, so people need results quickly. this could give one in 15 minutes. even before this study, which still needs to be peer-reviewed, and abbott needs to look into this more, there were studies suggesting it could have a false negative rate of 15 to 25%. and again, i think people know what that means. but chris, if 100 people have the infection, they all get the test, if you have a false negative rate of 15%, that means 15 of those people will be told you don't have the virus, they actually do. if you're in a hospital and get put into covid-negative part of the hospital, now you spread it. that creates a cluster in a hospital. the same thing could happen in a nursing home. or we're talking about states opening up

abbott is looking into it.ore scientists will and hopefully get a better sense what this negative rate is going to be. i don't think anyone expects it to be zero but need to have a clear idea of what we're working with. >> our thanks to dr. patel. >>> and coming up, no fans, no problem. the plan to make sure stadiums are still loud when games resume. >>> also ahead, how the navy is using a water park to fight coronavirus. thousands of women with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, are living in the moment and taking ibrance. ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor is for postmenopausal women or for men with hr+/her2- metastatic breast cancer, as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole significantly delayed disease progression versus letrozole, and shrank tumors in over half of patients. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. ibrance may cause severe inflammat

>> doctor, the president has been actively promoting the abbott test. he's had the product out there displayed next to him on a small table with the presidential seal. the abbott test happens to be the subject of a cdc advisory warning of upwards of a 50% false positive/false negative rate. what do you make of that? >> well, i mean, it's preposterous to be pushing this test. it has not been fully tested before it was released, and a 50/50 chance, you might as well just flip a coin. it is a ridiculous situation that we've been put in here now, and actually there's almost 400 tests that have been given this emergency use authorization by the fda, and we still don't have what we need to have, which is accurate, reliable, really ability to test on the spot and do it rapidly. without that, by the way, this is a terrible, dangerous situation for the governors to be reopening any businesses until we have actual available tests that at the point of service can be done and can be done rapidly. i don't want to take my family, nor does anyone else into a restauran

abbott claims that the study used the rapid test quote in a manner that is not intended to be used. is unclear how the samples were tested. an fda spokesperson says the department is now looking into this new information. also, advice from the cdc on how to safely reopen the country during the coronavirus pandemic was more detailed and restrictive than the plan released by the white house last month. a 63-page document obtained by the associated press, which is more detailed than other previously reported segments of the shelved guidance from the cdc shows how the thinking of cdc infection control experts differ from those in the white house, managing the pandemic response, including recommendations to help communities decide when to shut facilities down again during future flare-ups of covid-19. the ap reports the white house's opening up america again released april 17th including some of the cdc's approach, but made clear that the onus for reopening positions was solely on state governors and local officials. by contrast, though, the organizational tool created by the cdc advocat

with these abbott machines, it's a very easy process. i hope we can get more and more of these abbott machines into the workforce. in many places, if people could go into work and could get tested, they would be much more confident in going to work. but yes, just as a precaution because i'm around the president on a regular basis, i do get tested. bob: last question, mr. secretary -- mnuchin: i'm happy to report i don't have it. bob: thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate your time, mr. secretary. andhe idea came to go ahead take a little car trip into the everglades. there would be lots of exotic plants and animal life and it would be an adventure. it was pointed out to them that there is not really any room and it is dangerous and there are alligators and people could die, but they knew better. there was a monsoon. there were snakes. there were alligators. they fled. but they liked the idea. so it came about that they would take a trip once a year, if they could, but with a little bit of planning, so the disaster would be

i.d now test and nyu did a study that has not been peer reviewed where they compared the abbott i.d. test with a validated cepheid test and they found it missed one third to one half of positive samples half the time they were telling people who did have the virus they didn't. we reached out to abbott and they dispute the findings and the results are notes consistent with other studies of the test and distributed more than 1.8 million of these tests and the reported rate of false negatives to abbott is 0.02% which they say they previously shared with the fda. they say it's unclear if the samples were tested correctly in the study. in communications with other users of the tests they say it's performing as expected another piece of concern about this test it's the one mainly being used by the white house and was touted by the president in a rose garden ceremony a couple weeks ago i reached out to dr. michael at the university of minnesota about this test and he said he was in disbelief weeks ago when he learned the white house was using it as a screening test for contact with the whit

he is to the right of governor abbott slightly.nd governor abbott originally had called this person, encouraged her to close her salon. when she refused to do so, he refused to let her out of jail. dan patrick and the tea party jumped on abbott. and probably within 12 or 13 hours he had completely changed his position and attempted to pardon her. >> let me ask you broadly about some of the orders. you there in dallas county, among the first in the state to order face coverings when going into essential businesses. working at those places as well. also in public transportation. a violation was potentially punishable by a $1,000 fine. you said that fines would not be issued. if there's no consequence for a business owner who refuses to close, if there's no consequence for not wearing a face mask, what's the point of these orders? >> well, there are consequences for employees not wearing face masks. the inspector -- you can't go after the employees. but of the inspectors can deal with the business. >> but for individuals, sir. for ind

now, abbott labs is strongly disputing this study, and points out that it is not peer-reviewed, as we often expect studies to be these days. we have seen issues with smaller testing companies across different states. what do we know about the reliability of the tests that are out there? >> so, most of the tests, for the virus, are pretty reliable, but they do have a certain false negative rate and false negatives are bad, because if you have the virus, but the test says you don't have the virus, that's a problem. because that means you can go out and spread the disease to others thinking you're safe, and that's, you know, whether that rate is 15%, which is sort of the floor of what we know about the abbott test, this study suggests it may be as much as 50%. either way, we need better tests, and we just have to know that testing is very important, but it is not the end all, be all, testing, along with social distancing, wearing masks, tracing and isolation, all of that is a package of activities we need to engage in, to keep america safe. >> and that package of activities doesn't lend

so abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. fight is over, we...will...never...quit. because they never quit. >> here's how this will get solved really quickly. the chinese communist party could do what they are committed to do under their obligation for the world health organization. and that's what nations all around the world are doing. and there's no virus that escaped from the chinese lab according to them. theresa payton, chief information officer from president george w. bush. there is enormous evidence that it likely still came to the lab in wuhan. >> it's interesting, they said the interior group and that global rhetoric about the u.s. and our views of them in particular. what happens next is what we are seeing in australia where china is actually asking for a full-scale investigation like the united states. we've seen francis stand up to china and in the western hemisphere with done a bad job handling this. it will be interesting to see where this goes but, it's time to get that virtual deal table together. >> the bla

the white house uses the abbott id now tests which can show results and 13 minutes. but new york university researchers found that has to be quote unacceptable for use with patients, they looked at nasal swabs from 101 patients who came in for testing one test found the 31 of them had covid-19. and of those positive swabs 48% tested negative with the abbott s the company has disputed the finding saying it is inconsistent with other studies. the fda which authorized the test in march is now investigating. amazon announced today it will start mass producing hundreds of thousands of protective face shields for medical workers and they will eventually be available for the general public as well, the gear allows for plastic shields to snap into a 3 d printed head piece and this comes after the company previously announced it will test all of its workers for coronavirus however, amazon has also com under fire during this pandemic lawmakers have questioned the company about safety policies for its warehouses and delivery employees. let's go now to the midwest where the wisc
