Be hopefully a best case not a worst case and thats what were working for if you have. Your own confusion to cross what is about your own test the other is about containment efforts is the administration considering more aggressive containment options like a quarantine a National Curfew for sure we have it very much yeah we have that very much and we are weve been pretty aggressive we were early with europe but we were very very early with china and other places and fortunately we were and as far as containment here we are were coming out with strong suggestions and you know its becoming a little bit automatic you look at people theyre not doing certain things for instance that obviously not i would say the Restaurant Business is booming in bars and grills and old people are self containing for to a large extent. We look forward to the day when we can get back to normal to be such a Secular Party are you considering instituting a nationwide lockdown a nationwide quarantine of the n. S. C. We knocked it down but there are still some questions about how were ok at this point not nationwide but there are some point you know some places that are nation that are not very affected at all but we may we may look at certain areas certain certain hotspots as they call them well be looking at that but at this moment no were not the question this is you know you have to run a virus test friday night. The white House Doctors office put out a statement from midnight friday saying that no test was indicated so when exactly was your test administered all i had when i test i was late friday night and the reason i did it was because the i had no symptoms whatsoever so the doctor said you have no symptoms so we dont see any reason but when i did the press conference on friday everybody was going crazy did you do the test did you do the test so very late on friday night i did the test and he may have put out there the document put out something that i dont know what time the letter went out maybe it was put up by somebody else but the results came back i believe the following day and we tested negative for the top of the white House Doctors office a test was indicated implying that you had had one when in fact you had well i told them that and i went totally by what they said the doctors more than one they said you dont have any of the symptoms they checked what youre supposed to check and that i didnt have symptoms but i did it i did a test late on friday night and it came back. Probably 24 hours later or something they sent it to the lab scale back later your place as a resident you had a teleconference with the nations governors today and even that teleconference you told him that they need things like respirators for masks to try to get it on their own what did you mean by that and what what what if they cant get to them faster by getting them on their own other words go through a supply chain that they may have because the governors you know during normal times the governors by a lot of things not necessarily through federal government if theyre able to get ventilators respirators if theyre able to get certain things without having to go through the the longer. Process of federal government we have stockpiles now were ordering tremendous numbers of ventilators respirators masks and theyre ordered and theyre coming and we have quite a few at this point i think mike we have a lot but if they can if they can get them directly its always going to be faster if they can get them directly if they need them and ive given them authorization to order directly for those present one of the big weaknesses in our Health Care System is a Search Capacity for our medical facilities and i want to ask what precautions what one point is being done to get china sort of was able to build hospitals in matter of days are you prepared to use the corps of engineers or fema to Start Building a Search Rescue that we may need in a couple weeks well 1st of all we hope we dont get there and thats what were doing and thats why were taking a very strict look at this but we also are looking at areas and not only looking were expanding certain areas were taking over buildings that arent used were doing a lot in that regard we hope we dont have to get there but we are doing a lot in that regard. Out there i think the thing that lands in a hockey stick yesterday the Vice President s that no one should worry about losing a paycheck if they stay home and theyre saying that the house bill exempts companies of 500 employees or more from sick leave your requirement and thats 54 percent of the American Workplace why is it a good idea to only require Small Businesses to provide well were looking to that and we may be expanding that we are looking at that we want fairness and we want to for everybody you know were looking at that through the senate because as you know the senate is now digesting that bill to add so we may very well be getting something thats going to. Wind up with unicef how many ventilators how many i think you have right now and will it be enough i can get back to you with that number weve ordered a lot we have quite a few but it may not be enough out of it. Not enough we will have it by the time we need it hopefully we wont need them to see exactly how it will be able to given that they have not given us an exam well give you we can give you number of its support well give you know with that yesterday you said that this is under tremendous control do you want to revisit that statement that youre going to experience the experience of this until july or august 5 more months ahead right and i remembered i think oh im saying we are doing a very good job within the confines of what were dealing with were doing a very good job theres been a theres been a tremendous amount of the the the way theyre working together theyre working hand in hand i think in doing really a great job and from that standpoint thats what i was referring to yes if youre here and i think its under control right im not referring to it meaning the you know if youre talking about the virus you know thats not under control for any place in the world i think i read that and i think i read it now i didnt know started about what were doing is under control but im not talking about the virus just with the stock market took another hit today is the u. S. Economy heading into a recession well it may be what i think in terms of recession with thinking in terms of the virus once we stop i think theres a tremendous pent up demand both in terms of the stock market in terms of the economy and once this goes away once it goes through and were done with it i think youre going to see a tremendous tremendous surge look into mr travel restrictions the no thats been on the table for a bit is that for me up at all were not really we hope we dont have to stay if we we think that hopefully we wont have to do that but its certainly something that we talk about every day we havent made that decision i. Think your doctors and nurses in this country are telling us across the board theyre terrified of this virus of the fact they get it but in fact they might take it home to their families what can you say to assure Health Care Providers in this country that the federal government is doing something today to ensure that they get personal protective equipment to protect themselves and their families well i think the federal governments doing everything that we can toss in. We made some very good early decisions by keeping people out by keeping. Countries out certain countries where the infection was very immense i notice a lot of people are talking about south korea because theyve done a good job on one side but on the other side tremendous problems at the beginning they have tremendous problems and great numbers of death. I think that weve done a a fantastic job from just about every standpoint with that being said you look at a way you look this is something its an invisible enemy and but we are speaking all the time not only with the people but also the professional people the nurses the doctors they have been doing a fantastic job were also working very much on getting them the kind of equipment that they need and for the most part theyre either they either have it or they will be getting it but remember this we want the governors we want the mares we want them locally from a local standpoint because they can go quicker we want them to work and we we had a great talk with the governors today i think it was a really great talk theres a tremendous coordination this a tremendous spirit that we have together with the governors and thats pretty much for the most part bipartisan yeah its the economy just you told john that you think this could last as you said july august you just full steve when you ask you about the possibility of a session he said it may be curious if there is a recession when you think i well i dont i dont know one determine recession i just say this we have. An invisible enemy we have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about nobody and you know i read about it i read about many years ago 19171800 ive seen all of the different. The different problems similar to this that weve had this is a bad one this is a very bad when this is bad in the sense that. Its so contagious its just so contagious sort of record setting type contagion and. The good part is the young people are they do very well and Healthy People do very well very very bad for older people especially older people with problems my focus is really on getting rid of this problem this virus problem once we do that Everything Else is going to fall into place yes please. Im going to let it run its not as we were last night lot of rumors last night that you were going to put in a National Curfew or some kind of thing ive been hearing i fear ive been watching right exactly me too your people were saying this is the forum this Information Campaign thats going on for people messing with us on the internet i dont know i mean that i cant tell you if they are or not. I think a lot of the media has actually has been very fair i think people are pulling together on this i really think the medias been very fair i think it could be that you have some foreign groups that are playing games but it doesnt matter we havent really determined to do that at all and hopefully we wont have to thats a very big step its a step we can take but we have not decided to do it jennifer existed mr president sister president president things on one airlines and well ship in south can you talk a little bit specifically about what youd like to do to help the airlines for small and then 2nd of all we heard that jeff bezos has been in contact with the white house did you leave can you say what hes been asking for proposal ive heard thats true i dont know that for a fact but i know that some of my people up as i understand have been dealing with them or with him. And thats nice we have weve had tremendous support from a lot of people that can help and i believe he was one of them as far as here lines are concerned the airlines were going to back the airlines 100 percent not their fault. Its nobodys fault the us you go to the original source but its still buddies fault and were going to be in a position to help the airlines very much weve told the airlines were going to help them we want one already so were going to help me were going to be back stopping the airlines were going to be helping them very much on very important lines you know theres not markets are 25000000000. 00 Passenger Carriers and 4000000000 for cargo were going to be looking at it very strongly we have to back the airlines its not their fault the fact theyre having a record season everybody was there having record seasons and then this came out and it came out from nowhere so not their fault but were going to be back in the airline yeah from lets continue to phone today with my full support to chris the 2nd of the stock market as we have to get through this crisis thats what i can do thats the best thing we can do thats what i think about it once once this virus is gone i think youre going to have a stock market like nobodys ever seen before. Im sure you are as you mentioned already helping small apparently surprising as you are doing if youre going to be hell be back in a sec indexical i think the question i think maybe john asked about until july the guidelines are a 15 day trial guideline to be reconsidering it isnt that these guidelines are now going to be in effect until july but the president is saying that the trajectory of the outbreak may go to them make sure we dont think that these is solid in stone till july that would be the outside number there for president this is you to decide you want to say please to not. Follow up on him get whatever audience changing that happens that after half an hour for me and i think that i can even better look theyre working together. Well with the house theyre working very much in unison like the question before. They work in to it only enhance it and make it better and make it fair for everybody and thats what were looking to do so we may go back and forth with the house a little bit but both will be in a very positive Fashion Place you know if youre president on these new guidelines say of white stuff for gatherings and groups of more than 10 people the c. D. C. s recommendation yesterday work for people to avoid gatherings of more than 50 people whats in a vault and you who in your teams think you know just the past 24 hours and also what exactly do you need to see that were living just to have the professionals and some of the like to raise thank you and thank you for that question so we have been working on model of day and night around the globe to really predict because some countries in our very early stage like the United States weve been working with groups in the United Kingdom so we had new information coming out from a model and what had the biggest impact in the model is social distancing small groups not going in public in large groups the most important thing was if one person in the household became infected the whole household itself quarantined for 14 days because that stops 100 percent of the transmission outside of the household and as we talked about early on its silent we had another silent epidemic of hiv and i just want to recognize the hiv epidemic was solved by the community hiv advocates and activists who stood up when no one was listening and got everyones attention and were asking that same sense of community to come together and stand up against this virus and if they everybody in america does what we ask for over the next 15 days we will see a dramatic difference and we wont have to worry about the ventilators and we wont have to worry about the ice. That because we want have our elderly and our people at the greatest risk having to be hospitalized dr i mean on the other youre right dr grossman. Yes i want. To thank you mr president. Very productive call today with governors retort about. The new roll out testing that we described yesterday in drive through Community Based testing and i know how grateful the president is for the the efforts that governors are making and now with the admiral and the United StatesPublic Health service as well as fema we made great progress today and coordinating those efforts but the other issue that was raised by the president today was personal protective equipment and the reason i mention testing is because one of the recommendations that we have for states is that these remote testing sites make a priority of 2 groups one would be people over the age of 65 that have symptoms we dont want them to go to hospitals or Emergency Rooms we want them to go to a remote site in a parking lot or at a isolated Community Location but the other categories are Health Care Workers we want to make sure there are Health Care Workers have the opportunity to be tested and using that new high throughput tests that the president d arranged with our major commercial labs will be able to do that much more expeditiously so were putting a real priority on our extraordinary Health Care Workers that are there at this very hour coming alongside people that are struggling with the coronavirus and people that are concerned that they may have been exposed the other piece is were grateful that the legislation passed by the house of representatives includes a Liability Protection for end 95. 00 masks produced by Companies Like 3 m. In minnesota by honeywell literally tens of millions of masks are. Producer year for industrial purposes for construction but the Health Experts say they can be used just as readily to protect Health Care Workers from respiratory ailments. 3 m. And other companies were not able to sell those to hospitals so you watch movies compress at present from one of a number of World Leaders to toughening his films on the fight against coronavirus we heard earlier from the french president that he was ordering people to stay at home in the states theyre not having a statewide curfew but they are bringing in stronger measures this bring in adams fisher whos in washington d. C. And talk us through those various measures that the United States is now bringing in. While essential what theyre saying is there could be no gatherings of more than 10 people there putting a ban on essential and that is following the example of many states which cover a number of big cities that have already taken precautions of that kind what is interesting is that on sunday the center for Disease Control put out a notice saying gatherings of no more than 50 should be canceled here theyre saying after information they got from the United Kingdom after running a model theyve reduced that number to 10 and that is because they believe that that will help them reduce the number of people who will contract this virus thats in place for at least 15 days although donald trump it was interesting that he said he thinks the impact of this virus could well last until july or august you remember just a couple of weeks ago he was saying this would wash through in fact about a month ago he was saying that we dont to just one case very soon and clearly that is not the case here in the United States so there are important measures that theyre taking they were asked about the possibility of a National Curfew donald trump said no but theyre looking at some hot spots and also is there the possibility that there could be National Quarantine and he said no that is not on the agenda at the moment that is because on social media through sunday into monday there was a whole lot of exchanges with people saying that the government was about to introduce martial law that clearly isnt the case people are not being told to stay off the streets but i can tell you just from traveling into the office here in washington the things are a great deal quieter a lot of federal. Departments of federal regulators they have told the staff essentially to work from home to telecommute so things like the metro local buses even the traffic flow or significantly dont and that is being repeated in cities all across the United States because of the action is. In taken one big concern of course is the number of respirators that may be available why is that important because obviously if people catch this and these sure extreme symptoms then they have to put on a ventilator to help them breathe the briefing on sunday alexs are whos the health and Human Services secretary said that it was. Wouldnt reveal the numbers that they have because of National Security a quick internet search revealed that the United States has access to somewhere in the region of 160000 of them that just in 10 seconds to find donald trump says that they have enough they will get more if they need them and not call that he had with governors throughout the states just a couple of hours ago he said look if you can access these quicker please go ahead so important steps and it shows just how quickly the situation continues to evolve here in the United States and briefly he did acknowledge that the u. S. Could have an effect on the economy he said the economy may be headed into recession. No one in the administration wants to use the r word but certainly its come up more and more over the last 24 hours the fed the American Central Bank the Federal Reserve they decided on sunday to cut Interest Rates to almost to 0 is the most dramatic intervention that the central bank has made in the u. S. Economy since the 2000 the financial crisis they also put in place other measures as well for quantitative easing the markets in the futures on sunday didnt react well and that has been reflected in the markets on monday there dont i think the last time i checked was somewhere in the region of 2000 points there are a number of measures being considered by the senate at the moment you may remember me not that on the house on friday they passed a bill there to try and take steps that would help bolster the economy the senate has no good its hands in that bill and they are changing certain aspects mitt romney former president ial candidate a person who voted for Donald Trumps impeachment someone not well liked by the republicans but he is suggesting one 1000. 00 to every american to try and help them through this crisis. Thank you very much and all.
