And once again because of the president action the President Trump took in january suspending all travel from china. Stablish ing travel advisories for portions of south korea and italy establishing screening of all direct flights all passengers from all airports italy. And south korea. We have we have bought a considerable amount of time according to all the Health Experts to deal with the corona virus here in the United States back so i stand before you today. The the risk of contracting the coronavirus to the American Public remains low and the risk of serious disease. Among the American Public also remains low that being said. The president did deploy not just a whole of government approach but also a whole d of america approach and last week at the president s direction we met with leaders in industries from Nursing Homes to airlines pharmaceutical companies commercial labs and its had great great Impact Pharmaceutical companies are already working. Literally around the clock on the development of a therapeutics that will be medicines that. Relief to people that contract the coronavirus and i know that how pleased the president was to learn that the commercial labs in this country led by Companies Like lab corp and qwest have already brought a test forward d and taking that to market effective today this week the president s direction will be meeting with hospital c. E. O. s Health Insurance c. E. O. s and all of a building on top of what the president will be announcing tomorrow with regard to Economic Relief for working americans we also met today in a Conference Call with 47 of americas governors were able to brief them on the latest the progress that weve made we were able to confirm with them that testing is now available in all state labs in every state in the country over a 1000000 tests have been distributed before the end of this week another 4000000 tests will be distributed but as i said before with the deployment of the commercial labs we literally we literally are going to see a. A dramatic increase in the available vale ability of testing and thats all a direct result of the of the president s Leadership Today in a few moments we will we will outline Community Guidance that dr burks and dr found she will be publishing. The president s direction were going to be providing guidance about how to keep your home safe how to keep your business safe how to keep safe and healthy at your school and will be publishing that information and speaking about that a brief word about the grand princess the grand princess. Has has docked this afternoon in Oakland California at a commercial dock. 25 childer. We were happy to learn through the screening over the last 2 days the 25 children on the ship are all healthy. The people that have contracted the corona virus. 21 in all of their being dealt with in proper isolation and working with Health Authorities in california we hold vote for d the end of today to begin to disembark california residents to Travis Air Force base in miramar weve made arrangements with canada and the u. K. To to take their passengers back theyll be transported directly to the tarmac charter flights home and tomorrow the remaining passengers will be transported again. Through very very carefully controlled environments busses out to the tarmac and and flown to military bases in georgia and texas all the passengers will be tested isolated as appropriate quarantined as appropriate and i want to express appreciation. To the governor of california and his administration to governor of georgia the governor of texas for their strong cooperation with us in resolving the issues around the grand princess it has been a it has been a partnership which the president directed us in the very beginning. And the process that bob had like will detail in any questions in a few moments continues to work and move forward the remaining people on the ship the crew itself will love will push off from the dock and they will be quarantined and observed and treated shipboard but the president made the priority to get get the americans ashore and we are in the process of doing that as well as returning before a national. Let me just say one. Other point as the president says spoken today to congressional leadership one of the things that i inform the president that ive been hearing from governors. Is the concern about hourly wage earners in this country feeling that they had to go to work even if they were ill. And the president has tasked this Economic Team and is working already with leaders in the congress to make sure that that that that anyone is not feels that they are at risk of losing their job or losing a paycheck because they may contract the coronavirus when we tell people if youre sick stay home and the president has tasked the team with developing economic policies that will of all make it very very clear that were going to stand by those hard working americans stand by those businesses large and small and make it possible for us as the president said from the very beginning but the health of america 1st will be available to take any questions on any of these topics but mr president i dont know if you want to do. Anything or what we will be doing is having a News Conference tomorrow to talk about various things that were doing economically theyll be very major including obviously the payroll tax cut and so well be meeting again tomorrow afternoon and it will be coming back from the senate we have a lot a very important meeting set up and well have a press conference some time after that and well explain what were doing on an economic standpoint and from an economic standpoint but they will be very very dramatic and we have a great economy we have very Strong Economy but this game has blindsided the world and i think weve handled it very very well i think theyve done a great job the people behind me have done a great job so i will be here tomorrow afternoon to let you know about some of the economic steps were taking which will be a major thing. We are. Thank you mr president and. You have not been. Our rights youve been watching their live News Conference from the white house where u. S. President donald trump joined the regular Daily Briefing on the corona Virus Outbreak in the United States the president announcing a series of measures Economic Relief measures to mitigate the coronavirus a fall out and president thomas appearance coming a short time after the New York Stock Exchange close for the day following its worst blind since the 2008 economic crisis the president attending that briefing alongside u. S. Vice president mike pence whos been tasked to lead this Coronavirus Task force in the United States that spring in ross in jordan in washington d. C. For as a ross in talk us through 1st the measures announced by the president and the Coronavirus Task force seceding. Well as some pundits predicted fawley the president came into the press Briefing Room late on monday evening and didnt talk about the more than 22 people have lost their lives to a coronavirus as well as to the uptick in cases across the country including here in washington d. C. Where at least 500 parishioners at a local church have now been told that they need to consult with their doctors and self quarantine because their minister has been confirmed as being infected with corona virus instead what donald trump talked about were economic steps in acting some sort of payroll tax cut in order to keep the u. S. Economy afloat and thats because both economists and Economic Experts who work on wall street are now talking about the very real risk of the u. S. Economy going into recession because of the global spread of this virus and the impact it is having on economies from china all the way around the world to the United States the president did not take any questions as our viewers just saw reporters were shouting at him asking whether he has been tested for corona virus given that a number of members of the Republican Senate and the Republican House have themselves been considered exposed to corona virus in the past week or so and some of those same legislators have been with the president in the past 72 hours so while the Vice President is trying to walk reporters through what the u. S. Governments response is to the spread of corona virus there are a ninny many more questions about whether the government in fact has any control right over the noses and of the treatment of this virus in the American Public all right wrongs that go back to the News Conference there in washington and speaking right now is anthony that you. Mala just for the Us Government lets listen in to this trail you actually decided they were going to write a paper on it and make a number of boxes which was exactly saying what we had been talking about so we came up with the idea it would be very good for clarity so why dont we just put it together edited a little and put it in a way that people can look what about the home what about the school what about the workplace these are really simple low tech things theres nothing in there thats complicated but its just stated in a way thats clear that people can understand. Remind us of. What but one thing i want folks to know is that we have been looking at the data from around the world and we now know more than we ever have about who is at risk who is at risk and i hope you will help us communicate this to the American People are people over the age of 60 theyre much more likely to develop complications from the corona virus and to be hospitalized from the coronavirus the average age of death is age 80 now what we also want communities to know is that if you are a child or young adult you are much more like youre more likely to die from the flu if you get it than you are to die from corona virus so there is something about being young that is protective we want people to be reassured by that we want people to know that we are really focusing in on those those groups that are at highest risk for complications and helping them understand how to be safe and this new advice thats going to be coming out tomorrow is designed to keep our communities safe to help keep the most vulnerable safe and its important to understand that even though young people arent at risk for dying from coronavirus they can potentially spread that to older people in the communities and people with chronic diseases so its important we all take precautions washing our hands covering our cough a keeping our distance from people who are sick and taking the steps that will be coming out in this new guidance to help make sure were doing everything we know possible to keep our most vulnerable protected. Well don thank you. And im going to. I think the Surgeon General raises a very important point and my mother is 88 years young my stepfathers about the same age this is just a really good time with dr fouts he tells us what the experts tell us is is to look after look after family members loved ones who are Senior Citizens and particularly those who have serious Underlying Health conditions all the data dr burks confirms to us that they theyre the most vulnerable. To serious consequences if they contract the coronavirus but the guidance that we would we would ask members of the media and the American Public looking on you can go to coronavirus dot gov this information to be posted tonight and hopefully it will be useful helpful commonsense for families for schools for businesses and for commercial establishments that that welcome the public and just to just to create the kind of practices that we believe will mitigate the spread of the corona virus across the country as a whole but with regard to seniors i might just as seam of erma to step up and speak about last week at the president s direction we raised the standards for every nursing home in america with regard to Infectious Disease and we are deploying all 8000 of our inspectors in every state as we told the governors today to focus exclusively on Infectious Disease compliance at our Nursing Homes our hearts break for the families of the kirkland nursing home in seattle the loss of life has been grievous but we are we are sending the message out working with our governors to make sure our Nursing Homes and Long Term Care facilities have the additional layer of protection. Action against the spread of the corona virus maybe if you think you thank you mr Vice President as he said thats exactly where our focus is its around Infection Control or working with the entire Health Care Industry today we issued more guidance to Nursing Homes about really opting their screening of people that are coming into the nursing home and making sure that you know theyre gloved and they have mass that they can so that we can protect people that are in the Nursing Homes the other thing that were doing is because we know that many of our Senior Citizens are vulnerable and we want to make sure that they know that the Medicare Program is behind them and were here to support them were letting our patients know that they can get a coronavirus test and that there is no cautionary associated with that for our seniors on the Medicare Program or also letting them know that because of the president s leadership over a year and a half ago he took action to actually extend more tele Health Benefits to our nations seniors and this is a very historic change that we made under the president s leadership and so if theyre sick and theyre ill they can call their doctor they can skype with their doctor and medicare will reimburse for those services and weve also in our conversations with governors today we talked about im having tele health Services Also available in the Medicaid Program great. Let me let me invite who is the deputy secretary of h. H. S. Would come forward as well to fill us in on the on the latest on the progress on the ground of princess thank you mistress for that is dockside now in is going through a very careful process of having americans and foreign nationals come off and everyone will be tested thank you very much sir and yes we begin to think joining us on aljazeera weve been watching a brown family of the. Top of course a u. S. Corner vies task force from the white house in washington d. C. This task force trying to reassure americans about the outbreak saying everything is under control early on President Donald Trump joining the team better. And announce a series of Economic Relief measures to mitigate the corona Virus Outbreak the president s appearance coming a short time after the New York Stock Exchange close for the day following its worst since the 2008 financial crisis the dow jones down by about 7 percent at the end of the day and the trumpet ministration trying very hard to convince the American Public that it has a situation under control lets bring in ross in jordan whos been listening in from washington d. C. Of course the president announcing economic measures and now his task force seen there trying to reassure americans that the outbreak is under control will be a short. Well thats really a if you have to go out and survey people im not sure that you would hear a great approval of whats being said as of about an hour ago the centers for Disease Control and prevention tweeted out that there are some 75000 tests to confirm or reject a diagnosis of corona virus currently available and that and then we heard from the Vice President there on our screens mike pence saying earlier in this briefing that some 4000000 tests will soon be available look that is in large part big because of private laboratories that have developed their own tests that are going to be able to do this work on behalf of the nations physicians the Vice President tried to say that it was the president s work that has brought this about actually this is the work of the private labs that have brought this increase in potential testing into play now 4000000 tests that might sound impressive but there are some 330000000 americans living in this country far from enough tests in order to try to really figure out just how many people might be infected one thing that might reassure people listening to this press conference is in fact 2 things one the Financial Support that could be coming to help low income hourly workers and to the need to try to protect people with Vulnerable HealthSenior Citizens people who are immunocompromised more of a stress on people trying to act not just for themselves but for those in their communities right there relatives their neighbors who might not be healthy and this sort of protection weve had is a lack of a treatment for coronavirus right and weve heard some mixed messages from the Trump Administration rosalyn about this. But the president just. You know seems to be concerned about the Economic Impact of all of this talk us through remind us of some of the measures he announced to mitigate that this fall the economic fallout. Well not just the discussion fawley about how to help low income hourly workers who typically dont get paid if they dont go to work and if there is an a quarantine issued in a community such as what we just saw in the country of italy these people wont get paid that means they cant buy groceries they cant pay their Childrens School fees or Health Care Expenses they cant pay their rent that could be devastating for so many low income hourly workers in this country the president is also floating a payroll tax cut something that would put more money assistance a bully in peoples our pockets so that they could keep the u. S. Economy humming 70 percent of the u. S. Economy it depends on Consumer Spending is that going to be enough im not an economist all right rosen thank you very much for that was in jordan live for us in washington d. C. And well have plenty more on this and all of the days other news on al jazeera coming up very shortly including knocking down the entire country over if he is the spread of the corona Virus Outbreak to stay with us on aljazeera with iraq in just a few minutes.
