. >> the cdc website tells the story of how they created the cdc of china.etecting viruses is pretty good as long as they don't fear contacting beijing. which is something that went wrong in this case. information that should have been made available in deputies but was not. lou: it's a go ver -- it's a gos issue. it was perhaps a research lab some 300 yards from the epicenter of this outbreak. the fact that we don't know yet whether or not this an engineered virus. it's deeply troubling. transparency would mean we would have access to that knowledge. >> that's right. also it's quite importance that our cdc personnel and other americans have not been allowed to go into china or in the caves our cdc people in beijing, we are dealing on second-hands information. dr. fauci expressed frustration that he can't get straight answers out of china. lou: secretary azar is being cautious as well. he said point blank we are waiting for the w.h.o. report on what they learned there. that's retrograde thinking in this country. that's not american policy to me. we are waiti

cdc is updating this website. additionally remember to take every day preventive actions that we always recommend to prevent the spread of viruses. we have the extense of guidance and information on our cdc website. we'd be happy to take your questions. >> dr. walke -- >> all right. you've been listening in to a news conference there at the solano county fairgrounds there regarding a flight that landed there earlier today. 178 people were evacuated from wuhan, china. this is the first time in 50 years that spokesman for the cdc said they issued a quarantine order for those individuals. a 14-day quarantine order issued for the 178 people who were evacuated. they were classified as high risk of exposure. medical personnel has been following them and taking their vitals since they left wuhan, china and if someone is seems to be deteriorating they will take action. >> the doctors say that the people on the plane have been through a lot and we'll do everything we can to take care of them. we're going to stay on top of

if a mother is looking for information then frankly they don't want to go to the cdc website and those that are using vaccines as information and the last thing that we say about this mostly about local trust so what is the highest confidence? it is rwanda. very interesting. but it was more than they trust governments so how do they make sure they are prepared with the right information. >> so tell us what you are doin doing. >> and with that demand to get that information out. it really is a critical piece. >> it's really important from to the community. and to those communities and the way that trump did it. and so using that technique and that is something they are working on. then to partner with that effort. and that is the reality between countries of crisis and what they do under that normal development side but then they look at it differently. >> and with that issue it is complex so to describe what it takes to get a kid vaccinated. and with that policy you get the vaccine and bring it to the house and then get your kids out of school. and then get vaccinated. so the bottom li

we're instead of giving out my char.com, i, amyklobu gave out the cdc website. on national tv because like northern virginia, i believe in science. and i don't think. [applause] sen. klobuchar: and i don't think we should be squelching people or stopping them from putting out the science and the facts and the truth so we can make the decision about how we're going to handle this so the stakes are high. so, my argument is this. i have won in these districts . and by simply telling the truth and looking people in my bringing them with me that's, i told them if you are tired of the extremes in our politics, i said this now. you're tired of the noise in the nonsense, you have a home with me and as i sat through that impeachment hearing, until late at night, not the result that i wanted, but i saw the incredible courage of my friend doug jones and mitt romney and how they voted. [applause] as i sat there and i thought, everyone's talking about the founding fathers, i felt like i was in the middle of virginia, and they're talking about the founding fathers and looking

i would go to the cdc website. if you see it's a travel-free warning country, don't go.s china and south korea. if it's a travel to warning country, defer any nonessential travel. hook at the cdc website. >> i'm curious about traveling in the united states. >> you want to look at -- there are no travel restrictions in the united states. you want to look at where the nodes of outbreaks are. do you need to travel to those places? where are those infections right now? >> it never hurts. washing your hands in warm water and soap 20 seconds. >> get your flu shot. >> if you get the flu shot and then get symptoms, at least you help the doctors rule out what it's not. >> fran townsend, thanks so much. >> good to see you. >>> the investigation into the deadly mass shooting at one of the nation's largest breweries is now focused on a home on milwaukee's north side. a heavlice pe reported there overnight. police say a 51-year-old employee killed five co-workers before taking his own life. s.w.a.t. teams quickly responded to the sprawling molson coors complex yesterday after receivi

3% then die or is it greater than that, how fast is transmitted, the scientist too post on the cdc websites to the questions yet. if this is a pandemic a month from now and we see the numbers double or triple, 5000 are dead, then the w.h.o., it will be more realistic, but we simply do not know right now, part of the problem, everybody faces is the scientist who had been talking the last six weeks or so trying to sue everybody, don't worry, this is under control, they diverted attention to flu, and 20 million people got the flu, roughly 12000 have died. the normal ordinary flu is already more lethal than the chinese wuhan coronavirus, but that can change quickly. for in it. were i think it is very smart was secretary of defense expert has done, he issued a warning to get the american military commands to think about what you would do if there is a real pandemic. so yes they are exaggerating but we will see as a president likes to say, how this turns out. liz: he said the virus is more powerful in creating economic than any other terrorist attack, as seen all over the place, panic, don't pan

there are a lot of different facial hair patterns out there on the cdc website. you are the best at explaining this. loved having you on tonight.we come back soon. coming up it turns out trumps america first policy is proving to be the better way to handle outbreaks than globalism. david hanson explains why and mike bloomberg is defending chinese authoritarianism again. we'll show you how. don't go away. ♪ ♪ >> laura: striking moment in the president's address yesterday was when he reminded folks he is tough on borders america first approach is looking pretty wise, which of course sent the left into a fit of rage. >> as the coronavirus spreads also is racism and xenophobia. >> it has to be solved by having all these countries come together. that doesn't work with that american first. >> we talk about coronavirus that cannot be solved within the borders of the united states. mr. trump's policy of uswi going it alone, of america first is disastrous for us. >> laura: i am glad we now have the democrats' response to all of this, victor. more open borders and more glo

go to the cdc's website sometime. includes an exhaustive section lecturing parents on how to properly administer timeouts. one suggestion from the cdc, put toys in timeout. instead of children. who was in favor this garbage? nobody, really. least of all the many good people at cdc, and there certainly are. in fact, you've got to think the overwhelming majority of doctors and researchers at the centers for disease control and prevention are there because they passionately want to control and prevent diseases. it's not their fault. it's our policymakers who cannot resist making everything ideological. their main goal is not keeping you safe. if it was, they wouldn't be letting rapists out of prison and pushing weight on your kids. the real interest is getting richer and more than that, feeling good about themselves. protecting america does not make them feel good about themselves, it makes him feel guilty. when the president and post even mild travel restrictions on china last month, they attacked him as a bigot. as he

to go to the cdc website or those are authoritative, how do you think there are voices that would helpthem do it. lastly, how do you get rid of the destructive things like russian bots that are provided using vaccines, it is a broader problem, a problem for elections the idea of misinformation more broadly. the last thing i say is it is mostly about local trust. what is the country that has lois faxing confidence in the world? it is france, the country of louis pasteur. very interesting. the really important thing we know, people trust local healthcare providers more than they trust governments or pharmaceutical, how do we make sure they are prepared with the right information. >> both of your organizations are active on these issues. >> i want to congratulate gavi on recognizing getting good information out, whether it is extreme hesitancy or misinformation is a critical piece and really critical to the objective of reaching every kid. and into the hand of health providers interested in the community. we have a long history of getting good messages to communities and people in a way t

addressed the nation about this, and i thought that he should have, so i actually gave out the cdc websitethe cdc.gov and urged people to look at that website to find out what you should do to protect yourself and find out what you should do if you feel sick whether it's from the mumps or any other disease. today when the president addressed this, he did do it with the cdc that i think that's important because i believe in science, but i also think as we look at diseases and how they spread, we have to think ahead, and a lot of this, when you look at the budgets and how he has handled this. he's tried to cut the cdc in the past. he has tried to cut the organization that works with the rest of the world when it comes to pandemics and in fact, now, he kind of left it up in the air after asking for a billion dollars from congress about how much money and said i guess they'll decide that. i know that the democrats in the senate led by senator schumer, the place i work, have asked for something like $7, $8 billion and i think we have to be ready and the number one thing is to listen to the doct

cdc. >> website. >> and find out real information. stay away from information coming on your social media sites. it's not accurate, and don't go there. you want real information, do that, and by the way, the cdc as gloria said in the last segment should be doing a daily press briefing that has not been vetted by vice president pence. this whole situation is getting increasingly serious and not helpful. >> let the scientists do the talking ask live in a world of facts. >> thank you. >>> the response to the coronavirus has varied widely around the world. a source inside north korea tells cnn that a plan is in the works to evacuate quarantined foreign diplomats there. in switzerland all gatherings of more than a thousand people have been banned, and in seoul, south korea, the popular kpop band bts has canceled four concerts over fierce about the virus. cnn chief international correspondent clarissa ward takes a closer look at the global fallout. >> reporter: governments around the world are in crisis mode as they struggle to contain the c

general question answers can be found on the cdc website, cdc.gov/coronavirus.nternationally, the outbreak has driven demand for face masks and other productive gear. 200 times higher than normal, according to the world health organization. the w.h.o. director general says excessive uke of this equipment outside of health care settings is further depleting supplies. >> global stocks of masks and respirators are now insufficient to meet the needs of w.h.o. and our partners. >> w.h.o. officials say there are fewer new infections being reported in china over the past two days. clearly that is good news, but they caution it is too early to say that this is an indication the virus is peaking. the numbers could go up at any time. harris, as we speak, 1 of 2 charter plates landing in san antonio, texas. back to you. >> harris: i mistakenly said california, but it is a joint base san antonio lackland, as those american evacuees now home from china. thank you very much. can we pop that number of just one more time? thank you, jonathan. as we look at this picture with ame

we have lots more information at the cdc's website and in partnership on how to do that.also a really good time for the american public to prepare and for you to know what this means for you. the coronavirus that we're talking about is a respiratory virus. it's spread in a similar way to the common cold or to influenza. it's spread through coughs and sneezes. and so those everyday sensible measures that we tell people to do every year with the flu are important here. covering your cough, staying home when you're sick, and washing your hands. tried and true, not very exciting measures, but really important ways that you can prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. so the trajectory of what we're looking at over the weeks and months ahead is very uncertain, but many of the steps that we have taken over the past 15 years to prepare for pandemic influenza and our experience going through the 2009 h1n1 pandemic of influenza remind us of the kind of steps that our health care system, our businesses, our communities and schools may need to take. we're in this together, all of

there is one piece of advice i saw from the cdc website, one in america, seeing five steps to wash handsb your hands for at least 20 seconds. need a timer? harm the happy birthday song from beginning to end twice. 0k we will be in offices soon and eve ryo ne we will be in offices soon and everyone will be singing happy birthday. if you hear that, perhaps you should be washing your hands too. let's move to politics. well the democratic debate in south carolina last night got out of control pretty fast. within minutes the 6 candidates were yelling, talking over each, flinging personal insults. it wasn't pretty. but it was interesting and even quite clarifying. it was clear that senator bernie sanders is viewed as the front runner now, because he got the most attacks. and they seemed to get under his skin. i have opposed authoritarianism all over the world. of course you have a dictatorship in cuba. what i said is what barack 0bama said, in terms of cuba. that cuba made progress on education. yes, ithink... man boos. really? literacy programmes are bad? the whole thing got sort of weird whe

dust them off and make sure they are ready and we have lots more information at the cdc's website inn how to do that. but it's also a really good time for the american public to prepare and for you to know what this means for you. the coronavirus that we are talking about is a respiratory virus. it spreads in a similar way to the common cold or to influenza, it's spread through constant sneezes. those everyday commissions will measure that we tell people to do every year with the flu are important here. covering your cough, staying home when you are sick, and wash your hands. tried-and-true, not very exciting measures, but really important ways you can prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. so the trajectory of what we are looking at over the weeks and months had my head is very uncertain ahead are very uncertain but thr the past 15 years to prepare for pandemic influenza and our experience of going through the h1 and one pandemic of influenza reminds us of our businesses, bs need to take. we are in this together. the government and the private sector, and the cdc wants to make s

i'm going to give the cdc's website, which is cdc.gov so people keep checking in and follow the rules and realize what they have to do if they feel sick and they call their health care provider. as president, what would i do? i would better coordinate throughout my presidency to be ready for the next pandemic and to prepare for this one. >> americans have a funny way of deciding for themselves what to be concerned about, and right now a good number of americans are concerned, with good reason, about the coronavirus. here are part of the comments we got from the president in india today about the coronavirus. >> you may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country. we have very few people with it, and the people that have it are -- in all cases, i have not heard anything other, but the people are getting better. they're all getting better. >> eugene, we're looking at the possibility of a pandemic. >> yes, right. it seems to be teetering on the edge of pandemic status. you know, it was mentioned, first example of a u.s. service member. >> during the debate,

i gave out the cdc website to take the politics out of this, which is cdc.gov for people to get advice on what they should do, if they feel sick to call their healthcare provider. and the like. and i think part of this right now is planning. it is citizens getting informed. i personally, if you ask what i would have done from the very beginning and this goes back a few years, i wouldn't have proposed cutting the centers for disease control and prevention which the president did and propose cutting out the coordinating agency. but we are where we are right now. it is really important to work with countries around the world. two, to support our health professionals and make sure that they have all of the equipment that they need. three, to support the development of a vaccine, which is months and months and maybe a year away according to some of the professionals out there. and then to really step back and think that this is one pandemic but there may be others. i just don't think we can isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. i believe in science. i believe in not silencing health

frankly, sometimes they don't want to go to the cdc website or the who website, maybe they don't trust those. how do we make sure there are voices that are there that can help them do it? lastly, and this is more in your line, how do we get rid of the disruptive things like the usingn bots that are vaccines as a source of misinformation? this is a broader problem, integral problem for our elections, etc. this idea of misinformation more broadly. the last thing i say about this is it is mostly about local trust. what's the country that has the lowest vaccine confidence in the world? it's france, for god's sake. what is the highest confidence? it's rwanda. very interesting. the really important thing we know is that people trust their local health care providers more than they trust governments, more than they trust pharmaceutical companies or others. how do we make sure they are prepared with the right information and help them with that? stephen: irene and robin, both of your organizations are very active on these issues. tell us a bit about what you are doing and how you address these

we're directing people to the reputable websites and there's really just a who, cdc, state and local but that's where i would go. i would not go anyplace else because there are rumors that circulate that are just not true. >> commissioners, other questions? thank you, doctor. >> thank you very much. >> i'll note there was no public comment requested on that. item 9 is the first hearing on fiscal year 20-'21 and '21-'22 budget. >> good afternoon, commissioners. greg weidner, chief financial officer and i'll make a couple of introductory comments and turn it over to jenny louie. so this is our first of two and probably more than two hearings on proposed budget for the coming two years. we're doing things slightly differently this year than we have in the past and big part of the reason for that is that the board of supervisors passed an ordinance during last year's budget process with a goal of kind of standardizing and improving the process for public hearings and public input on the budget and so that ordinance that was adopted by the board and signed by the mayor requires a few thin

cdc doing what they are doing. i think people should turn off the major channels and go look at their website. ou have missed any of the briefings by the hhs secretary, his testimony, other briefings by other cdc officials you can find it all on our website c-span.org. when you play the video player on your computer or your mobile device you will see that we have highlighted key moments with descriptions of what they are from all of those events. you can jump along, if there is something specific you are looking for that you want to learn about from these officials. c-span.org, you can search their right at the top. your keyword coronavirus and you will find everything that we have covered. peachtree city, georgia. caller: i have a few quick points. i have seen this a lot with civilians. the first thing they want to do is criticize another politician. i don't think that is a constructive way to go about this. they are talking about the economy a lot -- people are dying from this. the economy is not the most important thing. scare tactics by the politicians, you will see that. try not to listen

i get the cdc website. it is cdc .gov.people keep checking in and they follow the rules and they realize what they have to do they feel sick and they call their healthcare provider. because many doctors are saying it is just a matter of time before we will start saying this here . and i think the answers as president, what would i do. i would better coordinate throughout my presidency to be ready for the next pandemic and to prepare for this one. gayle: thank you freighted. >> and i would support, because i know the vaccine is out there in, houston texas, and is in investing in education so we are ready to lead again in the world pretty. gayle: mr. vice president. [applause]. we reached a turning point today cdc warning schools that they must prepare them but they might have to). norah: members of the trump administration saying we don't have enough medical staff if necessary. >> i would make sure that pandemic would not get to the united states. save millions of lives. and what we did, we said that, i will set up the offi

i am not going to get my website right now, i'm going to give the cdc's website, which is cdc.gov, soople keep checking in, and they follow the rules, and they realize what they have to do if they feel sick and they call their health care provider. because many doctors are saying it is just a matter of time we are going to start seeing this year. and i think the answers come as president, what would i do? i would better coordinate throw my presidency to be better ready for the next pandemic and to prepare for this winter it i would have better relations with our allies, and i would support, because i know the vaccine is out there, in the head of some kid in a school in columbia, south carolina or houston, texas, and it is investing in education so we are ready to lead again in the world. ok, thank you. mr. vice president, we reached a turning point at the cdc, warning schools that they must prepare that they have to close. members of the trump administration saying we do not have enough medical masks if necessary. what would you do? mr. biden: what we did with ebola, i was part of mak

that i already mentioned and if you want more information, you can go to our dph website or the cdc website. there's no indication for the general population to be wearing masks and if you develop symptoms of upper respiratory infections, see your healing care professional. >> people should be encouraged to come to the parade? >> i think across the -- with our partners at cdc, federal and locally, there's no indication for changing anything that we would normally do with regard to public events at this time. >> have the staff had any training on coming in contact with the coronavirus? >> we have protocols that are normal infectious disease protocols and would only be if it's not for general population and it would be for to travel. [ off mic ] you spoke about racism at the top of this press conference and we're getting reports of drivers refusing to pick up people with asian last names. what do we have to say to people who think this is related to anything other than travel to wuhan, china? >> well, i believe that 99% of the people in san francisco aren't racist. there's always going to be

i'm going to give the cdc's website which is cdc.gov so the people keep checking in and to follow the the realize what they have to do if they feel sick and they call their healthcare provider. it has many doctors saying it's just a matter of time for we will start seeing this here. i think the answers as president what would i do, i would better ordinate throughout my presidency to be ready for the next pandemic and to prepare for this one. i would have better relations with our allies and i would support because i know the vaccine is out there in the head of some kid right now in school in columbia, south carolina, or houston, texas, and its investing in education so we already too late again in the world. >> mr. vice president we reached a turning point today with the cdc warning schools that they must prepare that they might have to close the members of the administration saying we don't have enough medical masks if necessary. what would you do? >> what we did with ebola, i was part of making sure that pandemic did not get to the united states, save millions of lives. what we did,

we have lots more information on the cdc website on how to do that. good time for the american public to prepare and for you to know what this means for you. the coronavirus that we are talking about is a respiratory virus. it is spread in a similar way to the common cold or to influenza. it is spread through coughs and sneezes. everyday measures that we tell people to do the flu are important here. covering your cough, staying home when you are sick, washing her hands. tried and true, not very exciting measures but really important ways that you can prevent the spread of respiratory viruses. the trajectory of what we are looking at over the weeks and months ahead is very uncertain. many of the steps that we have taken over the past 15 years to prepare for pandemic influenza and our experience going through the 2009 h1n1 pandemic of influenza remind us of the kinds of steps that our health-care system, our businesses, our communities and schools need to take. we are in this together all of government, the public and private sector and the cdc wants to

three rating for countries that it considers, whether you shouldn't go, be cautious, check the cdc websitetheir advice. three is their top most rating saying really you shouldn't go there. at the moment, it's china is the focus of that. but again, that could change. just keep checking it. >> what kind bargains are out there now? >> we've been talking about that during the break. i was saying are there deals to be had and should we take them or not. >> that's a great question. we're focusing on -- it's a scary situation but i love the way you think in the sense that travel as a business is really important. travel is an investment you can enjoy. i would proceed with caution, watch that cdc regulation and that advice. but yes, do consider traveling if the cdc's advice is it's okay to go, and you're comfortable going, you could get great prices. remember, a trip tourism is an enormous part of the economy and go somewhere that has economic problems and at just your expectation -- adjust your expectations. it's a win-win. >> you've got travel plans? >> you know, i'm going to germany next week a

that being said the cdc on their website says that when it comes to testing in the early stages of thenfection you can actually be tested and come back with a negative test result even, in fact, you do have the virus and that is what infectious disease experts are so scared of. you have this quarantine on this ship where you have people walking around daily today the captain came over the intercom and said that the people that are still on board will have two to three opportunities to mill around the ship. the only requirements they have is wear a mask, stay a meter away from other passengers and not congregate into groups but there is no green zone, red zone, clean zone, infected zone to know where the virus could or may or may not be and so the potential for people who are disembarking to potentially contract this virus and take it out into the general population is pretty high and that is what is so scary, rosemary. >> yeah, why it's so confounded they have decided to do this. blake essig, thanks for bringing us up to date, appreciate it. >>> my next guests, sheryl and pal paul male

are places where diseases tend to incubate like cruise ships that turn into plague ships the cdc has a websitet shows you how easy it is to catch something on a cruise. if we were concerned about public health in this country, maybe we should just ban all cruises for the duration the president banned all trips to cuba in june and that was about ideology it wasn't a health issue i think stopping the disease is probably more important than cracking down on cuban communism. third, if we start seeing more cases here, and i'm gling to believe you will, you don't want to good anywhere people tend to congregate if you can avoid it that's not just cruise ships it's hotels, airplane, restaurants, even concerts gdp, whether we're talking about china or here, it's a serious hit. maybe people would go out if we have antiviral drugs that treat the virus or the vaccine but sadly, neither of these things exist, and i'm not getting comfortable they're on the horizon. look, i do not want to scare you there is a good chance that none of this will be necessary. if the virus is contained and we have an unbelievab

and we know that the cases we have here, the cdc has a website that they have been posting and updatingonday, wednesday and friday. there are 60 cases and 42 of them i think about 42 of them are from the "diamond princess" cruise ship and you know those passengers were on a ship sort of like a petrie dish and a higher risk of exposure to the virus. then separately, there are 15 confirmed cases. awe but three of them are from -- in people who had traveled to china or had contact with a confirmed case. so compared to other countries, south korea, japan, italy, the number of our cases is relatively low but what we have been hearing increasingly over several weeks is that cdc officials have been trying to prepare us and the public that these cases will increase over time because you start seeing the surges in other conditions outside china. and we are more prepared now than we were doing ebola in 2014 and also the world is much more interconnected so one airplane flight can bring someone from an infected region to the united states. >> right. >> and so they have said and we should be prepar

but we know on the cdc website, they are warning us to get non-perishable items and to stock up on possibly medication. now you may have to consider that for your pets, given this industry is worth about $75 billion. i'm not sure if we can see it, but there are stocks i pulled up. zoetis, widely held animal etf, we will throw that in the mix and i will switch gears completely. i know you like anecdotal stories. i was just speaking with an investment banker this morning who said he flew down to texas for a deal. he went to shake the cfo's hand and the cfo refused to shake his hand for fear of catching something. it wasn't just the cfo, it was one of his colleagues as well. i feel like the fear factor seems to be escalating a little bit even though we haven't seen the spread yet here in the united states. people are definitely taking precautions, especially when it comes to your pets. stuart: those anecdotal stories actually are very important. i know they are anecdotal but they are important because that's the mood of the country. we need to assess the anxiety level in the country. good stuf
