if you got any, you are about to have a lot. but without a national policy for what we are supposed to do to head off those rising numbers, that kind of patch work is what you get. maybe the governors don't have stay-at-home orders or maybe they did not watch the "today" show, there was a stay-at-home order? which some says never the less to interpret as our federal government's new policies. it is insane at this point. it is insane at this point. you look at the other countries in the world that have outbreak as bad as us. well, we stand alone. you look at other countries in the world who had terrible outbreaks at least they had a national policy. it is insane. it is fatal. it is insane in terms of policies and leadership and ethics. it is also insane in terms of how grossly mismanaged the federal government piece of this already is. look how they are handle this. cnn reports that the pentagon offered a 2,000 ventilators they're going to make available for civilian use and more than a dozen certified labs they'll be available. those offers and more t

they are considered a developing nation and we are not, we are developing nation too in my book, we are developing too. the fact is we have been treated so badly by these organizations and believe me, i'm looking at that one too. we are winning a lot of lawsuits that we never won before, we are winning a lot of money that we never won in the past, with the world health organization what has happened there is a disgrace. here's the other thing, we pay 400 to $500 million a year, china is paying $35 million a year -- they control this group, i could do that too if i wanted to devote full time to it and having very capable people -- i could do very well with that. there's something going on it's very bad. now the 500 million that we save, we'll make a determination over little period of time. but they are either going to have to make massive changes, i don't know if they're going to be able to do that, or we are going to give money to people -- we want to help people. what we do in africa with aids, people have no idea what we do and the money we spend, we are talking about the other day.

refugee populations are according to un agreements to be treated within the same house systems as are nationals but this is often very hard to do and it is often the situation that refugees are treated differently in different health facilities whatever their conditions are and whatever the arrangements are it will be necessary to look out for refugees as well as for national populations david a we're all in nairobi returning to you if i can please is there a chance here that 6 months down the line the coronavirus aggravates a delicate kind of preexisting economic situation you know to resume according to the world travel and tourism council tourism across africa sustains 24 and a half 1000000 jobs a lot of them are in kenya because of your beach resorts because of your safari industry you know which is absolutely wonderful but if no one's traveling if no one's getting on a plane those jobs are gone and they will come back suddenly the economic impacts of the. option of going to be quite devastating. if you look at. i think the nation's most. comprise a large informal sector and having a large

manys grateful to the nations, organizations, and who are expressing their support and commitment to who in recent days, including their financial commitment. we welcome this demonstration of global solidarity because solidarity is the rule of the game to defeat covid-19. the job.tting on with we are continuing to study this virus every moment of every day. we are learning from many countries about what works, and we are sharing that information with the world. there are more than 1.5 million enrollments in who's online courses through openwho.org, and we will continue to expose this platform to train many more millions so we can fight covid effectively. today, we launched a new course to putlth workers on how on and remove personal protective equipment. every day, we bring together thousands of clinicians, educators, researchers, lab technicians, infection prevention specialists, and others to exchange knowledge on covid-19. our technical guidance brings together the most up-to-date evidence for health ministers, health workers, and individuals. yesterday, i had the honor of speakin

nations. it's very clear what it's saying. we are doing this for economic development reasons. it implies that this is voluntary, that it is an offer. it is misleading in that it is not targeting indian nations in the south. after the indian removal act was passed in may of 1830, indian nations still fought against it. they still marshaled public opinion, they filed suits in the united states supreme court to prevent it. and, you know, kept fighting throughout the 1830's. some indian nations did go ahead with removal. it's important to remember conditions -- indians were under attack. a lot of indians understood where this was all going. the cherokee's fault to the very end, and it's become understood in american nation. one of the things we wanted to accomplish in this exhibition was to show that this is a large national, even global event. it's not really about the cherokee, it is more about the five civilized tribes that transformed national borders, transformed to national economies. it was also a massive project for the united states to carry out. president jackson had to p

my advice to america would be that these guidelines are a national stay-at-home order. >> my advice to america would be that these guidelines are a national stay-at-home order? wait, freeze frame there for a second. there's a national stay-at-home order now? or it's just your advice or you're hoping that there would be one? you're calling for it? or did you just issue one? we're the citizens of the nation with the worst coronavirus outbreak on earth, where our death toll and our case numbers are skyrocketing out of control. as far as we know, there's no national policy in this country to try to slow that down. but this morning if you happened to be watching the "today" show you would have heard from one official who was speaking apparently off the cuff that his advice is that the guidelines that exist are a national stay-at-home order. apparently that's what counts as the american federal government developing and announcing for the first time a national policy to try to slow this epidemiic that has already killed more than 4,700 americans. with tens if not hundreds of thousands more o

that's why we are not relying on the national stock pile. we haven't received one ventilator yet and i don't anticipate any time soon that we will get them. rather than rolling over, rather than complaining about that we are arcuringne refurbishing them in ways that i think would do -- well that make us all -- i think should make us all very proud. i want to clarify so people understand, there's been some reporting about roughly 170 ventilator that did come from the national stock pile. they didn't come to the state of california. there is a separate agreement in la county from the national stock pile are ones th into la county. l of

i think that is where we are in the nation. tennessee, we are committed to testing every resident and staff in our long-term care facilities. it will be a great undertaking, but it honors the value of these lives in those facilities, lives that have protected our country in the hardest of times, the greatest generation, and those legacy, ourloving neighbors, our grandparents, our friends. it is time for us to protect them. we should do so by pursuing social distancing in every way that we can with them. i haven't hugged my elderly mom in eight weeks. but we are doing right by these citizens and you are doing right to make certain they -- that we do our personal part to make sure they are safe. atle valuing our freedoms the same time. while we are hard-pressed, we are not crushed, and we are grateful for your leadership and for this team's leadership, particularly your commitment to the most vulnerable in our nation. together, we will get through this. thank you very much. mr. trump: thank you very much, bill. great governor, by

as governor cuomo says in his press conference, these are national supply chains, these are national companies and we are not going to get through this by 50 states all competing with each other. we need a coordinated unified effort. i believe the only way to a united effort across the country is the federal government. the federal government needs to step up and play a much bigger role. >> we'll see if that'll play out. dr. jha and dr. mina, i appreciate your time. we'll continue our conversation. we'll look at the way you think of the president as he handles the crisis and the numbers tell us many of you don't trust what you are hearing. these days, it's anything but business as usual. that's why working together is more important than ever. at&t is committed to keeping you connected. so you can keep your patients cared for. your customers served. your students inspired. and your employees closer than ever. our network is resilient. our people are strong. our job is to keep your business connected . it's what we've always done. it's what we'll always do. that liberty mutual customi

welcome to the creek nation council house. the building you are in, this building here served as the creek nation national capital from 1878 until 1907. prior to 1878, there was a two-story log cabin that sat on this site that served as the -- as our national capital building until this was constructed in 1878. removed drivere a here to indian territory. we began the removals starting in 1829 and they culminated in our large old -- our larger removal here to indian territory in the summer and fall months of 1836 with our arrival to indian territory here in late december, 1836, and throughout january of 1837, when we arrived at port -- at fort gibson in indian territory. for about 20 years or so, beginning at about 1840, prior to settling at our place in the capital here, we met at the grand council of our tribal towns until about 1861. 1861 was the arrival of the statesar for the united and pretty much everyone. post the civil war, we had to sign the treaty, as many other tribes who found themselves involved in the civil war. we signed that treaty

we are waiting for that big event to kick off at the white house. if the president will be addressing the nation's seniors today. of course, they are the most vulnerable group in dealing with covid-19. but he's taking a number of measures not only to protect their health but to be on guard in the future against any potential flareup in cases. there is a who's who list of groups represented including the people behind the 60 plus, the american health care association, national hospice and care and organization and many, many more. officials i noticed secretary innes event, there had been some talk early in the week that the president was sidelining him. the president strongly argued that was not the case. the fact that the secretaries back in his event today seems to indicate that he is still very much a potent force working with and on the side of the health care task force. we are going to detail that event. first john roberts to tee it all up for us here and we will have a little bit more for you on wall street reaction today to some promising developments and a mixed reaction to those developme

national strategy. this is one of those as well. what is happening in michigan is we are seeing that it is happening in other parts of our country, as well. it really needs to be a national issue with a federal solution as part of it. >> do you feel like vice president pence has been effective toward democratic governors like yourself as head of the task force? gov. whitmer: i have found vice president pence to be very cordial and accessible and i appreciate that. as a former governor, especially one from the midwest, we have been able to build a type of report and i know that is not unique to me. he has done that with a lot of governors across both sides of the aisle across the country. we need to make sure that governors have all the tools we moment toad in this protect lives and hopefully responsively ramp back up our economy. partnershipcomplete from the federal government. i have found the vice president to be very accessible and responsive. >> what was the first thing that went through your mind when you saw president trump tweeted "liberate michigan"? gov. whitmer:

my understanding is that most of the passion or's are foreign nationals. i think they're working on ways to deal with that. of course my concern is simply tot we have worked so hard make sure we have avid hospital space in the event of a covid-19 search that we wouldn't want those valuable beds to be taken because of the cruise ship. but i think they are working to a solution on that. i did speak with the president this morning about it. i think he would like to see a solution, and i think the administration has seen a lot of the cruise ship's take up a lot of resources. we just want to get to appoint where the resources can be used for the folks here, particularly southernrn for -- florida where we have most of the problems with covid-19 and not divert those elsewhere. i think it will probably be some more elements on that today. speaking of south florida, one of the reasons we are concerned about what can happen in terms of new people coming in is simply because broward and miami-dade represent i think over half the cases throughout the state of florida.

least 2 265 million people and 32 states are under orders or advisories to stay home, though some have ignored the request. new data from kensa health shows the nation's fever hot zones. fevers are key symptom of covid-19. the new york area and florida are bright red. but look at this map showing fever trends over the last seven days the deep blue areas are seeing the biggest decrease in fever rates. >> the data is showing it's effective in every part of the country where we've seen social distancing actions implemented, shelter in place, stay at home. >> reporter: in saint lewis, california, the family is self-isolate wg a 2 and a 4-year-old is it tough to be in the house with two kids for two weeks some. >> there are times where the kids are, you know, not getting along and it definitely is challenge. we are not spread our germs to our friends, our family and we'll help flatten the curve. >> reporter: tonight with roughly 80% of americans being urged to stay home health experts say it could take weeks or even months to truly flatten the curve. lester >> all right, tom, thanks and with millions out of work, what do you do about the bills due tomorrow

that we are a nation of immigrants, and we ought to be to about oneen million people a year coming in legally. now, we are all against people violating our laws coming into our country illegally, but we have been welcoming -- but we are a welcoming nation, and we need people, so i don't know what the president's decision was based on, whether it was based on public health, or feeling that at this point, when we got 22 million people filing for unemployment compensation, it is not time to bring in other people. it is difficult for me to comment on it, except i welcome legal immigration, and don't welcome people violating our laws coming to this country. host: you are on the president task force to open up the economy. are some of the states, like georgia, florida -- the opening up too soon? -- are they opening up too soon? guest: i will leave it up to the governors of those states. we will have 50 ways of opening up our economy, and that will be up to the governors. i expect that they will follow the president's guidelines very ,ell, but even within a state you may have a different ope

are telling their people. what a dark time in cherokee nation. think about a people who went through so much, the folks that are dealing with this in the late 19th century, grandmas and grandpas and great grandmas and great grandpas who can tell about how they rebuild, how they were going to stand their ground and live there forever, and they are looking at these federal statutes that are going to result in the almost extinction of the cherokee nation. almost. we will get to that. so land gets allotted, a small thing happens next in 1907, the state of oklahoma is created, imposed over so many tribal lands. the allotment issue is interesting, because the land that was allotted was still held, and i think professor robertson touched on it, was still held in this restrictive status. as you get to the 20th century, that becomes a problem for the new state of oklahoma and the companies that want the land and the landowners that want the land, the oil industries and others, because if it is held in restrictive status, you cannot lease that unless the go

they are considered a developing nation, and we are not. we are a developing nation, in my book. have been treated so badly by these organizations. i am looking at that one. we are winning a lot of lawsuits we never won in the past. we are winning a lot of money. with the world health organization, what has happened is a disgrace. here is the other thing. million a year. china is paying $3 million a year and is like they control this group. i could do that if i wanted to devote full-time to it. i have capable people dealing with the leader. i could do for with that. but there is something going on that is bad. save,00 million that we we will make a determination over a little time. they will have to make massive changes. i don't know if they can do that, or we will give money -- we want to help people. what we do in africa with aids, people have no idea what we do. the money we spent, talking about it the other day, spending billions to help people. birxe case of one that dr. is involved in, millions of dollars. nobody talks about it, gives us credit. we do it very directly. we a

nation. i'm proud that in 2017, the cherokee freedom descendents are part of the cherokee nation. equal with all cherokees. we are a stronger indian nation because of it. and i'm proud to be chief while it is happening. (applause) but back to the treaty. a source of pain for the cherokee people. down deep in the treaty is something that we are seizing upon today. i will read you the relevant language. it was mentioned a moment ago. it says it is stipulated that the cherokees shall be entitled to a delegate in the house of representatives of the united states, whenever congress shall make provision for the same. now, i didn't know anything about that until i was a delegate to our constitution convention in 1999. and it was brought up during then, and we enshrined it and our constitution. but it has been over 180 years since that language was put in a treaty in the cherokee nation has not acted upon it, the government of the united states has never knocked on our door saying, send your delegate up here. in 2019, i appointed someone to be the first delegate to the house of representat

there are national models that show we are in different places. for example, new york. we are different places than other parts of the country. there are unique circumstances in the state and every day it is dynamic. every day it is iterative, incorporating new data sets, new trendlines and new modeling. our modeling is not done in isolation. it is stunning collaboration with the system, with the health care professionals and by taking a look at everyone else's modeling, and incorporating inputs on the basis of their expectations and we recalibrate ours. that is what our modeling shows. that as we can say put those models to the public a few days ago, all they have been in the last three days ago is reinforced. we are standing by that with our eyes open on a daily basis those models get adjusted. >> when is your modeling showing california will hit peak infection rate? when we presented those models a few days ago, we were looking into the may month when we start to see things begin to peak and so that is where we currently are. we do not have an exact date because ever

yes, some of them are uk nationals 01’ some of them are uk nationals or italians, they are foreignersare chinese nationals returning home. nonetheless it does represent a significant problem for the chinese government because there is a real concern at the same time is now measuring and publicising these asymptomatic cases, so publicising these asymptomatic cases, so people whose show no symptoms of covid—19. you put those two things together, international treasurers measuring the asymptomatic cases and there is a real concern about the potential for a second wave hit. understandably. thank you very much indeed. thank you for bringing us up—to—date on the situation there in china. let's get some of the day's other news. the acting secretary of the us navy, thomas modly, has resigned after criticism of his handling of a crisis in which the commander of a ship stricken by coronavirus was removed from his post. on sunday, mr modly had told the crew of the aircraft carrier that captain brett crozier was "too naive or too stupid" to remain in command. voters in wisconsin are facing long q

the islands off ivory coast are a protected conservation zone west of the capital abidjan. national park rangers regularly go out on patrol. as a risk. fishing even illegal tourism. fishing people come here to freshen the channels separating the islands and lay shrimp traps for. them i keep coming back to check what's in the traps and. here my promise to the. fishing in the national park is illegal fish lay their eggs in the tangled roots of mangrove trees usually only research boats are allowed in these waters. tourists can only visit the islands as part of guided tours they have to be accompanied by rangers and have to abide by strict rules because your heart don't take anything with you and don't leave anything behind the court. the islands are home to rare flora and fauna you see this species of plant is endangered in a city that it's one of 38 that are endemic to the west african region. the biodiversity is more or less intact and can be appreciated by locals and visitors alike. about it rejects in these areas is very important i think. i've learnt that it plays a vital role in

i figure we are a nation of ablerants, we ought to be to be open to about one million people year coming in legally. we are all against people violating our laws coming into our country illegally. but we are a welcoming nation and we need people. so i don't know what the president's decision was based on, public health or just a feeling that at this point when we have 22 million people filing for unemployment compensation that it's not time to bring in other people. it's difficult for me to comment on it, but i welcome legal immigration and do not welcome people violating our laws coming to this country. host: and you are on the president's task force to open the economy, are some states like georgia and florida, are they opening too soon? guest: i'm going to leave it up to the governors of those states. there are 50 different ways of opening up our economy, it's good to be up to the governors. i expect that they are going to follow the guidelines very well, but even within a state, you may have a different opening for upper new york than you will for new york city, for example. it's gon

will need to do is make sure we are producing it and acquiring it as a nation for our states. instead, what is happening is just like with ppe, we are competing against each other. innovation. to some in my state, we have had our universities working together to develop our own viral transport medium. one of the supply items is being developed by our own laboratories and universities here. but we need swabs. those get manufactured by swab manufacturers. they are selling their swabs to anyone who is already a customer of theirs including other nations. that is great they are in the for-profit business of selling swabs, but we are in a national emergency. we need them in the united states and we need them distributed based on need. the governor of michigan has a real problem in detroit and across her state in terms of the infection rate and hospitalization rate. she needs to do the testing to know where the outbreaks are coming next and if we are not supplying as a nation the places where there is a real hotspot, we are not doing it right. >> governor cuomo of new york is at the

these are essentially our national stay-at-home order and we're working with governors to figure out r needs, their desires. one more important point, the nine states that haven't yet done shelter in place orders are states that actually produce a large amount of our food. so they're struggling with issues concerning how they can provide for the rest of the country to be able to stay at home, but right now what i would say to those governors is if you can't give us a month, give us what you can. give us a week. give us whatever you can to stay at home during this particularly tough time we're going to be hitting our peak over the next 7-10 days. >> chris: but dr. adams, there's a big difference between opioids and cigarettes. something that people decide to use or not to use and the coronavirus, which people catch. it's not an individual choice. and you know, one president trump says that he is a wartime president, during world war ii, fdr didn't say, well, it's up to each state to decide to do, he mobilized the nation. again, why not a national stay-at-home order? the coronavirus doe

nation. i think i can say like almost never before. americans areing forward with common purpose and shared resolve determined to vanquish the virus and lift our nation to even greater heights. we are supremely confident in the magnificent future that awaits the american people and with that before i invite our great vice president to speak, we will take a few questions and then i'm going back into negotiations on the oil in on airlines. please. >> you had a conversation with president putin. did you organize that call and do they understand the problems they are causing with the oil? >> president trump: there's so much production that nobody even knows what to do with it, that's how it's working. and it saudi arabia as you know, russian knows that we are producing a lot and they were perhaps fighting with each other over the production and the amount of oil being produced and frankly there's not enough room to even store it. our storage is now's full but it will be very soon our strategic national storage. i said, this is a great time to fill it up

are not. in this day and time, 2020, it's outrageous that members of the national guard are responding to this pandemic and may or may not be covered for any sickness associated with it. if you look at the numbers, that's a pretty large percentage of the members that are currently mobilized that some of which have tested positive for the coronavirus. >> it is outrageous. you have every right to feel that way. when national guard soldiers are sent abroad, they're given transitional medical support for six months should they face any issues on their return. this virus can take weeks to appear, we know that. they're going into the nursing homes to clean them, they're carrying the dead bodies to the medical examiner. do they get traditional coverage for that? >> jake, i wish they did. when they come home or are redeployed, they have six months of coverage under the tricare program. it's not there. this will have to change. there's no reason in the world we should have to send a member of the national guard out to do the things they're doing in response to this pandemic without being covered. the s

are seen. next slide, please. the last slide for today compares uk deaths with those in other nations. when there had been a total of 50 deaths accumulated in each of these nations, and we have two different lines on there describing what's happened in the uk. towards the right—hand side, you see a dark blue line labelled "uk hospitals only", and that's the data we've been collecting and showing for a long time, so people who have died with covid in uk hospitals, whereas the grey line further to the left there is people who have died with covid in the uk in all settings. and not surprisingly, if you count all settings, that line is higher than the people who died in uk hospitals. that's the end of the data for today. thank you very much. thanks very much indeed. as with yesterday, we'll now take questions from the public before turning to journalists. and we'll take two questions today from the public. these are questions that, as with the questions from journalists, we don't see in advance. the first i'll read out from the screen, and then the second is going to be relayed by video. s

we are the first state in the nation to launch such a coordinated response effort. we are activating three distinct types of strike teams. will, testing teams which identify those in close contact with a confirmed case, collect and send out specimens for the fastest test available and provide expert instruction on how to keep confirmed and suspected cases of staff separated. second, assistance teams made up of members of the national guard who will quickly assess the situation on site, determine equipment and supply needs and triage residence. and third, clinical teams which will include doctors, nurse practitioners and registered nurses from major hospital systems who will be tasked with providing on-site medical triage and stabilizing residents in the nursing home in order to avoid unnecessary transport to hospitals. the goal here is not to replace the nursing homes'medical teams but provide immediate support and assistance to help protect residents of these facilities. the state teams will provide assistance and care to patients immediately in order to slow the sp
