coronavirus so the big concern is going to be did it spread among that group the conservatives and the apec organization and all of the 800000 attendees that were in that giant conference center so this is obviously going to become a great concern for political leaders we expect that the numbers in the united states are going to rise dramatically here's why there really hasn't been very much testing for the corona virus in the united states because at 1st the federal agency that was tasked to create the test sent it out it didn't work they just then a few days a few days ago allowed private labs to come up with their own test while they sent out their test to the public health agencies so there just aren't a lot of test kits out there now u.s. president said anyone who needs a task can get a test but we're hearing from other health officials on the ground and also within the administration that that is simply not the case they hope to ramp up the testing in a lot by hundreds of thousands in the next couple of days perhaps by the millions so we should see a pretty sizable increase in the num

close a close beyond easter and tell us about what's happening in malaysia a lot of concern there the apec finance meeting has had to be postponed. well that was settled to go ahead on cheese day this is a 3 day meeting clearly it was a last minute decision to postpone that meeting that was a gathering a 3 day gathering of the central bank and finance officials from a pick countries now the decision to delay this was based on protecting the safety and the health of all those people attending including the secretary of that malaysia will host the i pick summit november but clearly this 3 day summit has been postponed due to the current number of infections in malaysia and malaysia reported a spike that 125 new cases on monday on sunday that 190 new cases now this we believe is linked to a religious event that was held at a mosque in kuala lumpur some time ago so the concern now is that malaysia has the highest number of infections in southeast asia the number of reported crowd of us types is at 553 thank you very much for that have dates our clock live for us in hong kong. now france's pres

problems with his praise for some aspects of the castro regime, the way he declined the invitation to apec, he said something suggesting that their policies toward the palestinians were racist and he would never appear there -- i'm really paraphrasing. it was aggressive, not well and had an impact in florida. >> like all of these states with an aging population, they will argue about who will better save social security. bernie sanders has shown an ability to get a turnout with latino voters, but by the time we getting to that point, just because of the way the delegates are allocated. it's going to be hard for somebody to catch a leader, just given the two-person race right now. >> bent up-sanders' team, jeff weaver, he was part of the transition commission. >> i was as well. >> so that was to remedy the problems where he felt he had been robbed by the clinton established forces, the previous cycle. >> right you. >> so now the fix is, super delegates don't get to vote until a second ballot. >> right. >> but he has switched a position as to a simple plurality. >> i would argue frankly whet

where he just finished speaking at the apec conference.out his jewish roots, his support for israel and called out bernie sanders by name, calling him out for not coming to conference. could be an indication of more pointed attacks from michael bloomberg, headed in the direction of bernie sanders. and later today, michael bloomberg will be campaigning in northern virginia, virginia, of course, the state that votes tomorrow. and then tomorrow he's going to be spending all day in florida. florida is the state that doesn't vote until later in the month. so another indication that at least for now michael bloomberg intends to stay in this race for a little longer, past super tuesday. but keep in mind, one of the big reasons that michael bloomberg got into this race is because he thought he saw real weakness inno biin joe biden and his candidacy. if he ends up having a strong night on super tuesday, there could be more pressure on michael bloomberg to get out of the race. guys? >> amazing. just a few days ago folks were talking about him as thi

also his relationship with apec, the way he declined attending that conference.e ethnic groups in florida, and some of the elderly as well who have been biden voters. so where does he pick it up? >> it's not clear. he was hoping to pick up with latino voters as he did well in california but we're seeing suggestions in polling that joe biden is doing way better in this group than previously believed. we are hoping sanders is hoping and leaning on college students, many of now are almost self-quarantined and can't go out to vote. but they weren't voting in high numbers before. >> they weren't voting in michigan for him in high numbers around the state. i, like many of us, were glued to kornacki all night targeting the counties that were university campuses in michigan and polling indicated they were in favor of him but they didn't show up. >> they didn't. people have wrong ideas about young voters. generation z seems to be overwhelmingly supportive of bernie sanders but older millennials are backing biden in large numbers in states that i don't think the sanders' c

as we heard from governor cuomo today, the apec for infections in new york city and state is weeks awaynt about to peak in 20 minutes. melissa: thank you for that it is worth noting, in manhattan they are staying apart but in other neighborhoods they are not following it. in outer boroughs they are not following rules closely enough. i don't know, we'll pay for that. connell: better than it was. not where it needs to be, governor cuomo talked about parks too crowded and the like. we'll see what the president says about it. we will see you on after the bell tomorrow, "lou dobbs tonight" starts right now. lou: the president and the coronavirus task force are getting ready to brief the american people about the ever spreading wuhan virus. once the president enters the white house briefing room, we'll take you to him live. sparsely populated, that is more than appropriate social distancing. it was two weeks ago that there were fewer than 8 thousand cases of the china virus, the coronaviru

praising certain social policies of the castro regime and then not only saying he couldn't make the apecn this past week, but saying he wouldn't kol because he believed there were aspects of the organization that are racist. we're going to break away to cambridge, massachusetts, there's elizabeth warren, her husband. a woman who said she had a plan for everything, a plan for everything except the downturn in her campaign. but she's got a lot of leverage going forward. >> all right. so i announced this morning that i am suspending my campaign for president. i say this with a deep sense of gratitude for every single person who got in this fight, every single person who tried on a new idea, every single person who just moved a little in their notion of what a president of the united states should look like. i will not be running for president in 2020 but i guarantee i will stay in the fight for the hard-working folks across this country have gotten the short end of the stick over and over. that's been the fight of my life and it will continue to be so. anyone have a question? >> what guidan

rallies we know that there were 2 major conferences in washington last week conservative and the israeli apec conference and people have tested positive who are there so that is a potentially dangerous spread the president says no nothing to see here and keep doing the rallies we're going to keep having a big big gatherings where one person can in fact hundreds of others so definitely seen mixed messages from this administration the uproar i probably will meet with if i'm right thanks very much indeed kill him reporting from washington d.c. we'll speak known to dr peter hutto says the dean for the national school of tropical medicine at the baylor college of medicine joins us now from houston via skype peter thanks very much indeed for joining us it's see the best way to tackle this is through stringent we saw its effectiveness i think in china for it to be carried out by the chinese authorities but how straightforward when it be carried out in a similar way in a democratic country like italy or any of the europeans they do what's. well you've hit on a right i mean this is unprecedented core

countries like italy knocking down entire towns and cities israel coronating people who are at the apec conference because of one case between these 2 extremes where should we be landing. you know it's a really tough push for the because we simply don't know what the denominator is that is without enough tests and we don't know whether there's you know widespread corona already here in the united states especially in washington state or the slower because as your previous report said you know you just haven't had enough test kits yet however the bottom line is china succeeded i mean china now has over 800000 people corteen in beijing and william province where they had you know entire cities locked down they sort of want they've gone from 1000 cases so day down to 90 or so cases so you know those very draconian measures can work but all these public crises use are you know balancing individual liberties against what's best for the overall population here in the u.s. tell you always that this you know live with every new epidemic there's the public health authorities are trying to tamp d

went after bernie sanders, really ripped into him, on an issue, israel, and support for israel with apecn miami today. that's very targeted. this is what he had to say to gabe about why he's not backing out. >> why not coalesce around biden? >> i just answered your question, why don't they coalesce around me. what are you talking about? i can beat donald trump better than anybody else. >> donna edwards, why aren't they coalescing around him yet? >> well, you know, one of the things that's interesting to me is that i think it was a week ago that michael bloomberg was asking amy and buttigieg to get out of the race because everybody should coalesce around him and biden to get out of the race and we're in a completely different world now and i think, you know, mike bloomberg is actually going to get a real message tomorrow. i'm not totally sure what that message is going to be coming in tonight and into tomorrow. but it is going to cause him to rethink i think his decision to stay in the race. >> i think he would rethink it because he has said all along that he would support the nominee and
