eamon javers has more from c ever nbc's states of play survey >> reporter: that's right. was in the field may 1st through 3rd. cnbc chain states of play research six battleground states that will make the biggest difference here's what we're finding how people feel about their wealth and personal wealth. this graphic shows some dramatic change justin past month this is my family's wealth versus personal wealth the blue line is family's wealth and. safety two-thirds people saying health and safety now that's down to 66% 35% say personal finances are more important and that's up from 18% you can see those two blue and red lines converging there and at some point if this trend holds those lines will cross each other and more people will be concerned about their personal finances than about their personal health. that's a dramatic thing to see in the midst of a global pandemic and it indicates southeast economic stress that's out there right now as people are concerned. but look at what it plays out in the terms of people's personal lives. this graphic s-i'm secure but the ec

the fbi sending out a warning today about chinese hackers targeting coronavirus-related research eamon javers details on this story eamon? >> yes, sara, that's right it's called a public service announcement this time in the midst of a global pandemic warning, says the fbi, and the department of homeland security, that the chinese are trying to hack into american pharmaceutical companies and universities to get access to virus and vaccine research data. here's the warning for american companies from the fbi they're saying that you've got to assume that press attention will lead to increased interest and cyber activity by the chinese. they want those firms and universities to patch all their systems for critical vulnerabilities, to scan web applications for unauthorized access, and to improve their credential requirements. they want to use multifactor authentication for all of this research data. and then they say they want these companies and universities to identify and suspend access of users who exhibit unusual activity so they're saying that you should, if you were involved in this corona

let's get to eamon javers. >> yeah.t's right this is a public service announcement being announced by the fbi and the department of homeland securities. cyber security and infrastructure security agency this is all about warning americans that the chinese are attempting to hack into virus research now, the question is what can those companies do about it? the fbi says the one thing you should do if you're a company and you see unusual activity on your servers, contact the fbi. don't think it's something benign in your servers i talked to a national security official this morning about this public service announcement who told me they are concerned not just about the chinese stealing this data, but this official also raising an additional scary prospect which is the idea that the chinese might be going into the systems with a motivation to alter the data that's in there or to destroy the systems themselves that is to destroy progress on a vaccine. this official not offering any evidence that that's happening yet, but con

tech supply, eamon javers is watching that with all the headlines that kudlow has given us on corporateade deal as well. >> yeah, that's right, carl. look, the department of commerce is concerned here that huawei has been doing basically an end run around existing regulations to what they're doing this morning and announcing some new regulations to prevent them from getting access to u.s. technology here's the way it's going to work according to the department of commerce this morning they say foreign firms using u.s. chip making equipment will require a license to supply those chips to huawei and huawei is likely going to need a license to continue to use technology tied to the united states they're concerned about certain technology being used in the manufacturing process that's u.s. technology being huawei getting access to that because of some concerns about existing companies that have deals in process to buy some of this equipment or use some of this equipment there's going to be a 120-day delay for products that are already in development, that is, there's a little window if you

eamon javers is here to break it down for us. >> that's right, wilfred hackers are having a feel dayavirus is what experts have been telling me over the past week or so everybody went home, all of the companies had five days to get millions of american white collar workers on a work-from-home basis and as a result they're seeing these super old browsers being used never designed to carry this corporate security and now you have information from companies flowing over family home wi-fi routers. that will be a big problem if this lasts for any length of time for companies to fix over a period of time i asked mike covertino of rco, the cybersecurity firm to run the numbers and figure out what it would cost. here is what it could cost per employee, somewhere between $247 and $1,755 per employee to get them up and running in terms of security and in getting all of that data that's running over the home wi-fi system into your corporate servers in a way that's safe from hackers this could be an enormous problem for companies going forward, and especially because working from home now we are

eamon javers is in washington this morning with the latest on what's inside that bill and whether it'shere >> reporter: yeah. good morning, andrew those are both very good questions. $3 trillion is the size of the bill 1,118 pages overall. the size of the bill is the controversial item with republicans in the senate looking that and saying it's simple lie too big too soon. we'll see where it goes. what's in it start with the big ticket item, trillion dollars in aid to beleaguered states you heard andrew cuomo in new york complaining about that. states can't print known fed can. they need to fill the hole in their budget this would go a long way to do that in there a second round of direct payments to individuals $200 billion in hazard pay for essential workers. $75 billion for testing and contact tracing related to the virus and $175 billion in housing assistance nancy pelosi was on "mad money" with jim cramer last night she said this is the opening bid here take a listen. >> this is a negotiation we think this is what is necessary to need needs of the american people. state and local.

eamon javers joins us.nunez who was telling us about how over there they're saying, look, ha, ha, ha, we handled this so much better we gave them two months warning. what's the take from washington? >> reporter: well, look, there's some chest thumping on both sides of the border between china and the united states. both countries are pointing the finger at the other. we saw this new report from the department of homeland security that was released yesterday or that was reported yesterday which made a conclusion about how the chinese allegedly covered up this coronavirus, the dhs saying they intentionally hid the covid-19 while stockpiling medical supplies for themselves, even at a time when the chinese government allegedly knew this was going to be severe around the world we also saw mike pompeo, the secretary of state over the weekend saying there's a significant amount of evidence this virus came from the laboratory in wuhan placing blame for releasing the virus. he said we're going to hold those responsi
