on saturday vice president pence came and visited south florida.s conference with the governor where they were telling americans that this was perfectly fine to travel on cruises then the next day we get information from the department of state that they were recommending that all americans stay out of the cruise lines. of course this is going to affect our local economy in south florida. i also represent key west and that is a huge economic influx for the community. so at this point, i'm really concerned that we don't have a clear strategy and a clear message on what we need to do. i'm in constant communication with the governor's office and with health county public officials so we could provide the appropriate information for our constituents. >> as for the president of the united states, he has been busy tweeting today, congresswoman, many blaming your party for inflaming the coronavirus situation. your response? >> well, listen, this is no time for politics. we need leadership and we need someone that is going to unite this country in the time

be some change of heart for the governor and sure enough, when we had his press availability in south florida announced that florida would or the south florida counties would continue what he's calling safer at home, safer at home policy. now, this was new for this governor. he had previously just relied on the local, the county officials in broward, miami-dade, palm beach county where they are the place that's had the most cases in florida. he's relied on them to impose orders. for the first time, he's kind of embraced them and acknowledged them but and he said today that they would be in effect until may 15th and then three hours later, he changed his mind and said he really meant to say april 15th. in someways, he actually is not going as far as the president in florida and we still do not have any statewide order. right now, it's still just limited to the counties around the state that have done or the cities that have done these orders on their own. >> and just to be clear, those south florida counties that are going to have the safer at home, stay at home order, the governor initially a

not mid may as the governor says he misstated earlier today but what we're talking about as far south florida talking about miami dade county broward county palm beach county and monro county which is the florida keys the bulk of corona virus cases already in south florida particularly here in miami dade county turning to world news now in the coronavirus front in spain an indefinite period of mourning has been issued as the death toll there has grown to more than 7300 people and 78000 confirmed cases that number continues to rise of the country is seeing a more extensive lockdown with only essential workers allowed to leave their homes and in italy the death toll from the coronavirus has increased 211591 if this point that number could be much higher again it's been difficult to track with close to 900 new deaths just in the last 24 hours while the total number of confirmed cases is over $100000.00 so we will continue to follow these breaking stories recognize and it is dizzying it comes in basically every and not only every hour it seems like every 20 minutes hard to track but we're doing i

what is it like now in south florida? >> the epicenter in florida is south florida. south florida is the hot spot with nearly 50% of the 5,000 cases in the state of florida in the counties of miami-dade and also broward counties. as you said, we've been following the number of deaths. there are more than 50 in this state, including an icu nurse in miami and also a doctor in broward. we're also following that ship that jim just mentioned, the van dam. it just crossed the panama canal. it's going to take about three days before it gets to florida. four patients on board died. the cause of death has not been announced yet, but two other individuals have tested positive for covid-19, and more than 190 have exhibited symptoms of the flu. so very intense moments, poppy and jim, on this ship, and this ship is going to need permission before it docks. we're going to wait and see if that happens. >> we know you'll stay on top of it, rosa flores. thanks very much. ships have been such a focus of this. >> i'm just stunned they're still out there. i'm just stunned to see packed

yes through mid may the bulk of the cases are really here in south florida in the state of florida particularly miami dade county now the census has been reluctant to issue a statewide mandatory stay at home order though some counties are not seeing any coronaviruses virus cases though the concern at this point is that will eventually change and remember this the pastor of a mega church in tampa florida talked about this earlier that an arrest warrant had been issued well guess what he's been arrested after holding services despite a citywide stay at home order he was charged with unlawful assembly in violation of a public health emergency order and shifting now to new york the u.s. navy's floating hospital ship the u.s.s. comfort arrived today and docked in new york harbor to help with the massive number of cases there 1000 beds and 12 operating rooms that will be up and running in the next 24 hours according to officials turning toward news quickly on the coronavirus front in spain an indefinite period of mourning has been issued as the death toll there has grown to more than 77300 people and

santas here in florida faced with an ever increasing number of cases here in florida particularly south florida issued earlier today on mandatory stay at home order for all of those living all of the residents here in south florida where in particular miami dade county is really seeing the book of the coronavirus cases here in the state and that number has continued to escalate over the past 2 weeks and speaking of florida rick an arrest warrant listen to this an arrest warrant has been issued for pastor ronnie howard. brown he's the head of one of these mega churches here in the u.s. this one located in the tampa because according to authorities he continues to have gatherings large gatherings large services despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and statewide orders basically for people not to gather in large groups and so on arrest warrant has been issued for the pastor of this mega church and by the way let me add something that's been happening all throughout the country where some of these large churches continue to defy basically these orders if it's not a stay at home order then its s

weekend who tested positive earlier he was in contact at least with 3 people who have gone into south florida teen after a conference of conservative activists and on top of that. the actor tom hanks and his wife tested positive as well as the canadian prime minister trudeau's wife so this left to repeated questions by the press why the president hasn't been tested for exposure or talking about a lot of famous and powerful people here but most americans don't have that privilege to get the test at the moment is there a push to change that. to be honest it was a long journey for the americans to get there 1st the president told the public in the past 3 weeks everybody could be tested but it became clear that this was not true there were not enough tests kids in the u.s. to try ministration and the c.d.c. the version of the german institute they came under a lot of pressure in the last 48 hours and just a number only 22000 people have been tested in the u.s. in the last 3 weeks last 3 weeks whereas 22000 people have been tested in south korea in one day testing is crucial if you want to know wh
