micron ceo sanjay mehrotra joins us live. good to see you.now you're in california but your headquarters are in boise, idaho. you got a bifurcated story here. how are the folks who are running micron doing and how are you keeping them safe, then we will get to the sales picture which i would imagine is starting to look better and better. >> first of all, thank you. good to be on your show. yes, our team members across the globe, that is our top priority, to maintain their safety and health. micron actually was early from the very first in hubei province, china, to make sure our sites in china as well as singapore stopped the travel as well as implement physical distancing protocols at our offices. a lot of our team members actually are working from home today. this has resulted in us being in the best position to take care of our team members. i'm really proud of the micron team and with tenacity and professionalism and care, taking care of each other but also taking care of the communities where we operate. we have implemented more than 90%

you interviewed micron ceo and now it's downgraded. what's your take >> i like both amd is just a horse. can't believe how well that stock acts also can't believe how well the company is doing nvidia is doing well too downgrade for micron by goldman sachs i thought was wrong but i'm more optimistic. nick in minnesota. >> caller: from eden prairie, minnesota. boeing what you thought about them? first would be primed to cut the work force 10% through layoffs, buyouts and early retirement, to keep for the government aid. but also production of aircraft restarting and some employees set to come back what does it mean? >> boeing had remarkable move from 90 to 180, now pulling back got back to 110, 120, it's a decent spec. hate to use that term for a great american company there are a lot of things that have to go right before boeing works, including the faa has got to say yes to the max. all right. i think there's reason to be a little more hopeful than we've been also think the worst-case scenario may be off the table. "mad money" tonight,

you want to talk micron? >> the leader in this market since the bottom has been telco tech the one that i thought had the most prominence was the bounce in micron. micron has got all sorts of tech inside it. and there had been some tightness in d-rams. goldman downgrades it. it's a chilling downgrade. the reason i say that, there's so many stocks that have a great move off the bottom, you don't want the leadership picked off this one is a pick off it's basically saying, all right, we had the big move that's over. too many of these, we will go further down will we violate kostin's level i don't think we violate the low. i read it, i said eh, i don't want these now if this is the start of downgrade season ahead of the earnings, we'll have a tough earnings season. micron, not so great >> all right we'll keep an eye on shares of micron and continue to watch the overall market and see if the s&p continues that rapid rebound we've seen, certainly last week one of the records for some time a lot more "squawk on the

but some as low as 1 micron. now of course you're not going to be able to catch the small -- filter the small droplets with the homemade masks. but it still reduced some of the large droplets. so there is some sense in having at least some sort of mask covering yourself. and we want to stress that we do want to save the n-95 respirators for our health care workers because they're really going very close to very sick patients during procedures where respiratory drle they're at a high, high risk of getting infected. but yes, masks may be the way to go. and i see now in texas that some areas are also starting to start using the masks as well. >> and we talk about some of these do-it-yourself masks. are you talking about scarves or bandanas, as perhaps the president suggested? >> well, the material in this study was a terrycloth material. it was actually used for filtering tea. so it has to be a specific material. it's very hard to say. scarves could be made out of cotton, out of thick fabric. i would say the thicker

correspondent lisa lewis in paris and asked her how president micron justified the extension to the lockdown he said in his speech tonight that he didn't want to have to go back into lockdown once the rules are lifted the restrictions are lifted like some asian countries where he sees that now that the number of infections is going up again that that they are thinking at the end to go back into lockdown he doesn't want to do that he wants to continue the strict lockdown at least until the 11th of may and after that some restrictions will stay in place schools you know primary schools and colleges will open bit by bit but but universities will stay closed longer restaurants will stay closed longer the government will decide at a later point when all these businesses like you know theater music halls or cetera where lots of people come together it can reopen again and he also mentioned the possibility of a rule that everybody needed to wear a face my face mask in certain situations for example on public transport that would be obviously cotton facemasks and not the ones for the surgeons which

if any at all well we now know what france plans to do with its lock down french president emanuel micron says the country will have to endure another 4 weeks saying progress had been made against the coronavirus but the battle was not yet won the country already spent a month under unprecedented restrictions that are keeping people at home for all but their most essential needs. yes well when the pope is growing but nothing can be taken for granted from of the northeast to terrorists hospitals are saturated that you across the country and our overseas territories the health system is under pressure. we have not yet overcome the epidemic so we must continue our efforts to keep applying the restrictions the more they are followed the music the more lives we will save. meanwhile spain is listening it's coronavirus a lockdown and allowing some construction and factory workers it to return to work the move comes as the number of new cases has slowed in recent days the government hopes it will help boost an economy that's been battered by the lockdown. sanctions 1st steps toward life after loc

earlier this month, president micron set a date of the 11th of may to ease restrictions —— presidentng opposition from those on the ground. teachers unions have described the reopening of schools next month as unworkable. even mission impossible. the scientific advisers have proposed that classes are staggered. the children are a metre away from each other at all times, that they shouldn't circulate in the corridors. all this will cause a somewhat —— corridors. all this will cause a somewhat “ enormous corridors. all this will cause a somewhat —— enormous problem. the plan rests on keeping new infections low, under 3000 a day. some areas may need to relax the rules more slowly. but the task of containing this epidemic is shifting from government responsibility to individual response. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. china has insisted it should not be blamed for the outbreak. president trump has made it clear he feels beijing should have been more —— not more when the virus emerge. china's ambassador to london that it was the virus rather than the country which the us should be targ

99.95% of the particles, especially the small size of the particles with that diameter about one micron. but when you were just even yourself made a mask, which might not be able to capture really, really small, tiny particles, however, you can capture still larger particles with the diameter like 20 microns. and i believe those larger particles contain a lot more virus than small particles. and that's why even cdc recommended we should keep social distancing of six feet, and that is really to keep larger particles away from us. >> so pete, you flew twice yesterday. a lot of this is going to come down, i imagine, to how comfortable people are just doing this. what practices did you see on the plane, walking around the terminal? was everyone wearing a mask? did they try to sit apart from each other on the plane? how did it work? >> it's interesting you ask about masks because it was hard to find someone yesterday who wasn't already wearing a mask, even those thee airlines are now providing masks to passengers and jetblue requiring it, calling it the new flying etiquette. here's my experi

micron does that we need to wait and see the evidence? kevin: dr.ci had taken a hardliner approach and the president has essentially been in the sense that publicly now he stirred the pot of having there to be some open speculation about whether or not he agrees with dr. fauci. i think as that continues to develop, the administration from the political standpoint is banking that trump get on the side of reopening the economy because in battleground states, where the virus from the health perspective hasn't been as nasty as in hotspots, he wants to be on the side of reopening the economy both from a political and economic standpoint. tom: kevin cirilli, thank you so much, chief washington correspondent. j.p. morgan earnings coming up, wells fargo as well. the cfo later on this afternoon as well. let me look at the data. a lift to the equity markets. bloomberg terminal on my cell phone. it is very, very cool. futures up 32, dow futures up 308 as well. the vix, 40.30. 39 handle on the vix would actually be a big deal. looking at the yield space, see th

on this subject, this is big news today, french president emmanuel micron made a surprise trip to marseilles today, renowned epidemiologist and all of europe. he was handed the results of a follow-up study of more than 1,061 covid patients put on a regimen of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. the preliminary report contained some very good news. results are still being analyzed, but the healing was achieved in 973 of the patients in ten days. for an efficacy rate, 91%. what about the critics who were citing possible serious complications of these drugs. professor found zero cardiac complications in any of his subjects. america has some clinical trials of its own going right now, but this french data confirms what our own dr. steven smith who will be on in a few moments found in his infectious disease practice as well. this is good news and thank the good lord who recognizes the importance of advancing these medical solutions as as fast and safely as possible. a stark reminder of how far we have fallen because of this virus and the shutdown. in early february, we had long lines to get into
