we are not there. >> melissa: dr. siegel, it's melissa francis.e now we are hearing about in japan? where the person recovered and tested positive again? >> yeah, melissa, that's very interesting, too. let me tell you how that is pray that's actually less alarming. a lot of respiratory viruses, you have a surge, you get sick, you think you're recovered, and the new get sick again. you can have a situation where you test positive and then test negative and then test positive again. i don't believe that means the patient was skewered, melissa, and they suddenly got the virus a second time. chances are, once you have this virus and you get over it, you are immune. that's most likely the case. i just think that you have ups and downs and valleys and troughs in terms of how you hit the virus. so we will see more and more of that. we see it with the flu, we see it with the flu. >> melissa: real quick, what would happen if people are diagnosed in, say, new york city? what will happen? do you quarantine at home, do you go to the hospital? i heard someone

melissa: right.taxes and, they talk about things like cuts, it is evil, president trump is hiding cuts in here. if only. that would be fantastic, but no, there is still a lot of spending. it is interesting though, kind of continues the theme from the state of the union where we see him proposing more funding for historically black colleges and targeting a lot of programs for increases in spending but, for african-americans. >> yeah, that's right. a lot for that and, i think, clearly this is a of peace with the president's intention to broaden his base. everyone is always wondered whether he would just try to run at the trump base, core supporters who show up at the rallies or would he try to expand that beyond that base out into the suburbs and including minorities. so there are things in the trump budget that probably should appear, appeal to voters in the suburbs. i think they're interested in closing the deficit and spending money on things like black colleges, opportunity zones, gives the preside

>> melissa: burn. president trump also striking themes that will loom large in his reelection campaign, take aim at democrats pushing far left policies. watch this. >> 132 lawmakers in this room have endorsed legislation to impose a socialist takeover of our health care system. to those watching at home tonight, i want you to know we will never let socialism destroy american health care. over 130 legislators in this chamber have endorsed legislation that would bankrupt our nation by providing free taxpayer-funded health care to millions of illegal aliens. >> melissa: jason, when i heard people saying the speech was partisan, we talked about this before. i went back and try to look through the text to see the parts. what i heard it is a lot of things -- a lot of democrat policies in there. a bunch of big government suffered early on in the speech. this was definitely the part where he was taking aim at democrats and made it more partisan. i thought it was interesting when they wouldn't clap for jobs. de
