nesheiwat: absolutely. even though we have speed, we still have car accident, traumas, heart attacks, strokes, noncovid types of things. cellulitis. strep throat that turned into an abscess. so there is a lot still going on in the medical community in addition to covid. so that's why it was celebrati celebrating. we have a double whammy of covid plus flu, plus all of the other nonviral infections and medical issues that have to be attended to. so, what a blessing. this is just amazing. god bless the navy and that national guard for being able to bring this in and being able to bring it in so early. they are a week ahead of schedule. we certainly need this. it is going to bring the community together and really give us a light at the end of the tunnel and way to just keep doing what we are doing and practicing that social distancing. it is critical to keep people alive. >> harris: absolutely. the state department and environmental conversation working with all of these groups that you mentioned. they had to

nesheiwat: absolutely. may have shortness of breath, they feel fatigued, they feel weak, they can't breathe, and it's very serious for any age group. we are just happening to see the older population with more underlying medical conditions are being hospitalized. but that doesn't mean the younger population are not affected. i'm seeing them on a daily basis, and they have to take precautions. not only for themselves but for others. >> harris: dr. devi, we are seeing something in bergen county where i live in new jersey where has the most confirmed cases of covid in the state. what we are seeing in one hospital alone, where there have been more than a dozen positive tests, half of them aren't critical. all of the male, between the ages of 28 and 48, was the latest report. those numbers change change every hour but that was the latest report. what does that tell us? >> dr. devi: it could be a couple things. first of all, younger people may be more vulnerable than we thought previously. maybe something related

nesheiwat: right. that's why right now, as we speak, trials are underway to test medications.laquenil, also known as hydroxychloroquine. if you take that with zithromax, it's been shown to possibly reduce the duration of symptoms, reduce the contagiousness. that's one medicine. but there are many others like antivirals, hiv medicines being tried and tested, as well. in addition to using convalescent plasma, a patient that has covid-19, they've recovered, we can potentially use their antibodies, their blood, to treat those who are critically ill right now. so all of these treatments and therapeutics underway to try and save lives until you're able to get that vaccine on the market. and that vaccine also is under trial right now. we've already had the first people who have received their first dose, and they will receive a second dose a month later. >> harris: okay, i want to get to this. sandra w has a question about social distancing. watch. >> so, say we are in a store and we are all practicing the 6 feet distance, and the line moves up. now i'm in someone else's space. what

nesheiwat, i will come to you first.n they put out that order saying that not everybody should get tested because it might waste kids, i heard from so many health workers who were upset with that and disagreed with it so much, they were like, "no, we want to know who has this even if they don't have symptoms." i don't know what the better choices. what is your opinion? >> dr. nesheiwat: of course, we want everyone to be tested. right now, today, we just don't have enough supplies. eventually when you have enough supplies and enough testing kits, absolutely, let's swab everyone. if we know you're positive we can say "stay home, isolate yourself, self-quarantine." we can limit the spread, we can then limit the need for more hospital beds and were ventilators and more staff. absolutely, i agree. but it's getting to the point now where i am actually having doctors and nurses who are my patients. i had to swab a doctor yesterday. i had to tell a nurse, "put yourself on quarantine until you are feeling better." i have to choos

nesheiwat? >> good question. a big stress on the body, so your immune system is slightly weakened. very important to adhere to guidelines and protocol, meaning hands washed and clean, avoid large crowds, less than ten people, stay home, those sorts of things, and do nonessential work, nonessential travel, because you are at a higher risk of just coming out of surgery. 's a very good question. >> shannon: take those extra steps. okay, tweet from caitlin cook, who wants to know "can zinc supplements help treat covid-19. dr. ahmed, we've heard all kinds of things, vitamin c and others. do they help? >> i'm not aware of zinc providing a benefit with covid, but it does help with healing. as long as it is from an approved supplement manufacturer in the united states, there may be little harm. whether it gives objective benefit, i don't think so. it's something, obviously, we are not commonly seeing. we are learning about covid every day, but i don't believe that has a curative benefit. >> shannon: okay. next question f

nesheiwat. before we get to these questions, the ap alert out of topeka, kansas, kansas governor issues stay at home order effective monday through april 19th. this is one of the first rural states to issue this kind of order. is it too late for kansas or do you think you'll be able to get ahead of an outbreak? >> we're certainly hopeful we can get ahead of an outbreak. we at this time our numbers are low and we've had the benefit of learning from cities and states where the numbers are much higher. and so hopefully our stay at home order will prevent those numbers from rising rapidly in our state. leland: dr. nesheiwat this comes in i believe via instagram, which is how long can the coronavirus be airborne and this brings up all these questions in terms of does it get transmitted on food packaging, does it get transmitted when you go to the grocery store, is it only when somebody coughs and sneezes, can it be in the air conditioning vents? >> sure. so covid-19 is transmitted usually by respirat

jeanette nesheiwat joins us live. knows delivery delays are a reality at amazon. new issues that could delay your orders, we'll be right back. rob: back now with a fox news alert. as china moves closer to resuming daily life, the u.s. is reaffirming its commitment to european allies who are fighting this virus. jillian: italy and spain surpassing 17,000 combined deaths. tracee carrasco jointrey yingstm jerusalem. >> reporter: across the eastern hemisphere, coronavirus numbers continue to rise, though in china where the outbreak first began things do appear to be returning to normal. in wuhan city, there are long service trains and subways that are now reopened for business requiring passengers to wear protective masks and have their temperatures taken. new images show people in the streets shopping. in hubei, flights have resumed with nearly 100 taking off from the main airport in the province. there is hope that china could be used as a model of what life could look like in the near future for the rest of the world.

nesheiwat, and i want to mention dr. bo wert, i said you are a psychiatrist but you've handled the public health so i'm giving you the first question from a viewer. >> hi, my question is if you received this year's flu shot does that at all help you with the symptoms with the coronavirus? also, can you be diagnosed with the coronavirus and of the flute simultaneously? >> that's an excellent one. >> so the flu is a completely different virus than the coronavirus. is it possible that you could have both of the same time? yes, it's possible but it's not likely. they are very different viruses and the flu vaccine will not protect you from the coronavirus. in fact the flu virus is only been shown to be about 45% effective anyway. a flu vaccine will offer no protection against the coronavirus. >> dr. debbie come up before we take a quick break i want to come back to you with this question about sheltering in place. for seniors i've noticed that some retailers and having them shop at different hours, early learning anymore but

nesheiwat, thank you so much for that. appreciate it.oronavirus is doing a job on the economy unfortunately not just by taking the stock market. on amazon, prices for goods like face masks and hand sanitizers have surged. in supermarkets you've noticed that. prices for airline flights of crash. he can fly round-trip from boston to barcelona, spain, for under $200. and you would fly in style. photos on the internet show planes filled with empty rows. even if you don't fear the chinese coronavirus, is travel worth it? soon everything worth doing could be shut down. melissa francis hosts "after the bell" on fox business and she joins the show frequently and she joins us tonight for more on the economic effect of the virus. melissa, you've been working on this week, for a couple weeks now. where are we now in the economic effects of the coronavirus? >> it's really starting to set in and i guess every time people look at things with an abundance of caution and say i'm going to stop going to restaurants. i'm going to stop doing this. i always

nesheiwat, any news on that?assive antibody therapy and anything we can try at this point to try to keep patients alive and well as a last resort while it's still undergoing tests, i'm all for it. so in theory it could help because what you're doing is taking the blood from someone who has recovered from the coronavirus, so usually when you have an infection, your body can create what's called antibodies, which can protect you from future infections, so that's the theory behind it, using a protective mechanism, injecting it into patients who are currently symptomatically and currently trying to fight the virus to see if they can have some relief and recovery from it. so i think it's hopeful in addition to the current medications that are being tried right now. >> shannon: okay, and our last question to you, dr. hollander, as a health care provider, i'm curious if when we are exposed to a known covid-19 patients, will we have to self quarantine? if the hospitals going to be have to be put out for 14 days after exp

nesheiwat, what is your message to the rest of the country. you live in new york and we are all in the tristate area where so many of our friends are affected by. this i have heard some different stories. a friend was at a baseball game a few weeks ago. her husband shook hands with another dad. that dad at 47 years old died and infected my friend sandra. that's one of nine stories that i can tell you right now of personal situations in my life. what does it look like at an urgent care and what is your urgent message to the rest of the country that is not taking it seriously? >> first and foremost, so critical to understand that you alone, one person can truly have an impact and make a difference and save lives. we each need to be individually accountable for our actions and really adhere to the strict guidelines of staying home, don't leave your house unless it's critical, unless you have to go run anner rand. get baby food, shopping for your grandparents, that sort of thing. physical distancing. social distancing, meaning you can still call a

we will bring into experts, janette nesheiwat and dalia walks. ladies, good evening to both of you. let me get to dr. wachs first, if someone is watching this tonight, maybe they don't feel good, maybe they have symptoms that they can't quite figure out. what would you say if you are not feeling sick, what sort of condition would you have? what you look for, dr.? >> a lot of the symptoms can kind of overlap with the cold, the flu. what we are looking at with coronavirus, cough, fever, and starting to have difficulty breathing, that is in the early stage we would recommend if anyone has no symptoms to call their medical provider or contact the local health apartment. more severe symptoms could be worsening breathing, confusion, delirium, things like that. usually a cough, fever, and difficulty breathing conversed. >> bill: we were sitting here today when we got the national emergency, there were a number of things on the medical front at the white house is trying to push out. of those items, what you think would help you in the job you are doing custom mark >> i love the fact they wa

janette nesheiwat, the medical director and fox news contributor. dr.a morgan stein, the american psychiatric committee on disasters. and of dr. jimmy howard, senior clinical psychologist. we appreciate your time doctors, first let's go to julie's question. take a listen. >> can the wind carry the virus? if you were out on the golf course or you are painting you are very well worn rocking chair, can i catch the virus just because of the wind? >>> bret: how about that? she wants to know. >> that is a great question, the coronavirus covid-19 is usually a waterborne, droplet type of transmission. someone coughing and sneezing, and you are close by that is how you catch it. now, it can live in the air for a few hours. so if you are out and about in the wind and you were around someone who was just coughing and sneezing, it is possible for you to pick it up. i can also live on surfaces up to a few hours, to a few days. that is a possibility. if you are outside, doing whatever activity you are engaging in, that's fine. when you go back inside, wash your hands

janette nesheiwat. great to see you. >> too you, cheryl.heryl: the numbers are sobering, we can't escape that, but what are you hearing and seeing right here in new york from your colleagues, and this is the epicenter of the virus, what are they telling you? >> it is a stressful time. this is challenging. this is something we never dealt with before, myself and my colleagues and it was unexpected but i think we're starting to grasp and understand what we need to focus on. number one, ppes. number two, social distancing. that is the biggest issue i see, patients not being compliant, causing spread of the virus. third we need to focus on expanded testing. if we can tackle those three things, we could potentially, maybe, small possibility of opening up on easter. that would be a dream come true. cheryl: what did you make of dr. anthony fauci last night, he was doing the white house briefing obviously with the president, the vice president, he talked about the cycle of viruses, basically they're looking ahead to next year when we get the virus

janette nesheiwat is with me right now. thank you for being here. lending your expertise.hat do you make so far of where we stand now? we're hearing horrific stories from italy, from spain. we're told we're 10 days behind them. is that true or false? >> it is important to learn from the other countries, from italy, from china, from south korea. we were a little bit behind the ball when we had a problem with our testing capability but now we have expanded testing, rapid testing we're employing throughout the country. i'm not having any trouble right now. if i need to test a patient out on the front lines, if i suspect covid-19 i'm able to swab them. it is a matter of deploying all of our resources, trying to test those who we think might have covid-19 and take the next step of isolating them so we can try to stop this spread. deirdre: so, doctor, you are saying you have enough testing rather kits, so if somebody comes to you don't need to hesitate? >> correct. if they meet southern criteria. if you come in asymptomatic right now we'll not be able to test you. if you tell us

janette nesheiwat, she is going to be answering your questions. dr. mehmet oz is going to be talking about those clinical trials is he operating are doing. dr. marc siegel doctor nicole saphier and coming up very, very shortly we'll talk to congressman doug collins who had been self-quarantining, he is out and about and top republican in the house kevin mccathy along with senator tim scott. so we have a very, very busy three hours, brian, that starts right now. brian: yeah. tim scott was one of the three senators who said at the last minute did you see what's in this bill i think we have drafting error. they ended up ignoring it. this is day 11 of a 15 i day fight to bend the curve. how are we doing? thanks to the senate historic agreement maybe a little bit better. americans could be seeing some type of relief in the pandemic in just a matter weeks. we think, griff, although we haven't gone inside the thousand pages. the question is, have you? >> as best i have brian and ainsley. it wasn't pretty. they finally got there rescue lifeline in history for

janette nesheiwat. thank you for joining us.about the turnaround time of these tests, five minutes would be drastically quicker. talk to us about this. >> yeah, that's pretty phenomenal. i love it. it's joining the ranks of our rapid strep test, flu test, pregnancy test. this is what we need. this can add an additional 50,000 tests a day and we need this. we need this for broad surveillance to see are the thee outbreaks in the community. the test is highly accurate and it can be available next week and it's easy. all you have to do is a swab of the nose or the throat. so you don't have to worry about blood testing. pete: doctor. is this self administered, is this something physicians will do? what's the parameters of this? >> this is something abbott will send out units to urgent care centers, ers and hospitals, you have to be seen by a doctor for this to be done. we take a swab of your nose or your mouth and we take that specimen and put it in a reagent and the cartridge into the machine and within five minutes it can tell you
