military officer, is among the members of the joint chiefs of staff in self-quarantine? chiefs of staff are unavailable for calls right now. should the bond market be relaxing? brian: generally, that would signal a risk off appetite, but generally there is kind of a feeling that, within those circles of washington, whether does the white house, the senate, the joint chiefs, that if you say cobit is going around, and i think that -- that if you say covid is going around, and i think quite a bit of that has been priced in, seeing multiple senior officials test positive in recent days. vonnie: brian, thank you for that. a great story out today. brian is a bloomberg opinion columnist. sticking with markets, time for our stock of the hour. travel stocks rallying after the president said not to fear the pandemic after his stay in the hospital. bloomberg's kailey leinz is looking at the facts. do tell. topee: if you look at the performers, all three of the major crews stocks are among the days winners -- date's winners, norwegian, carnival all higher to the tune of 5.5% or more.

so that has now triggered the entire joint chiefs of staff, except for one who was not here, basically working from home, working from alternative locations. let's go through the list. it is the pennell leadership. there's no way around it. chairman of the joint chiefs general mark milley. vit chairman heighten. admiral michael mill day. general james mcdonald's. general charles brown, head of space operations, head of the national guard. the number two general at the marine corps, and general paul nekason yichl nekasoni, national security agency one of the most vital intelligence agencies, very involved in monitoring election security at this time of year. now, we are told all of them so far thankfully have tested negative. none are experiencing symptoms. when will they be able to come back to work? in the building, in their regular offices? we are told that will be up to medical authorities in the military to decide on a day-to-day basis. command and control of the military, everything remains as-is, we are told. general milley, chairman, he has completely secure communications in hi

i mean, the president's own health is at risk, we see that even with, you know, the joint chiefs of staff, some of them are having to quarantine. all of these issues, i mean, it's affecting the federal government and this is an issue where president trump in particular has had very weak marks on polls. this has been the weakness for him and part of the reason why his polls have been so low is because of his handling and his management of the coronavirus and that key groups do not approve of it, senior citizens, a lot of women, and so you see the biden campaign really honing in on this. >> there was a really fiery debate last night in arizona, alex, and i'm super fascinated with arizona right now because of what our poll numbers, "the new york times" poll showed this week is that biden has an 8 point lead in arizona, if he were to win arizona it would be the first to do that for democrats since '96. if you could listen to this exchange between the moderator and republican martha mcsally about whether she basically stands by the president if she's proud of the work the president has done. l
