This new case of coronavirus is a big concern because doctors simply dont know how the patient caught the virus. The victim in sacramento is not doing well. And her case could be an indication we are now entering New Territory in fighting the spread of the coronavirus here in the united states. Seriously ill and on a ventilator, the newly diagnosed victim at the u. C. Davis Medical Center represents the first possible u. S. Case of Community Spread of the coronavirus. It means doctors dont know how or where the unidentified woman got sick, since she had no travel to china or known exposure to someone with the virus. This is probably the tip of the iceberg. Reporter the woman arrived at the Medical Center february 19th with signs of the viral infection. But testing for the coronavirus was delayed because the patient didnt fit cdc testing guidelines. We do realize that this case were discussing today marks a turning point. Reporter the victim lives in Solano County, where hundreds of americans have arrived at Travis Air Force base for quarantine.

With the possibility of the Community Spread of the virus, more and more cities are preparing for potential outbreaks. And Major Companies across the country are taking steps to protect themselves.

Now, to the extraordinary measures being taken to try to contain the virus all around the world. From closing schools to travel bans, even sporting events being played in empty stadiums. Nbcs Kelly Cobiella is covering that part of the story for us from tokyo. Kelly, good morning. Reporter good morning, hoda. Theres more than 200 cases, now, in this country, japan, with two more deaths overnight. And theres a big push to close all of the countrys schools, affecting 12 million students, as this country and many others try to contain the virus. E globe. Spreading to five new countries. New zealand, denmark, brazil, the netherlands and nigeria. The number of countries with confirmed infections now up to 50. With reports of one woman in japan testing positive a second time, after doctors thought shed recovered. The japanese government taking drastic measures, advising schools to stay closed for a month.

A hong kong patients dog has tested positive for coronavirus. Its a weak positive. And theyre trying to figure out if the dog carries the virus or if he came into contact with it on his nose and mouth by being in the same environment with his sick owner. Its important to note theres no Scientific Evidence at this point that our pets can carry the new virus. Savannah . All right, Kelly Cobiella, thank you so much. And as mentioned, the crisis is taking a huge toll on global markets. Stocks appear set to drop again today, wrapping up whats been wall streets worst week since the financial cry crises of 2008. The dow plunged nearly 1,200 points, its biggest daily drop in history. Stephanie ruhle is on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for us this morning. A lot of nerves there, i gather. And thei issue is, stephanie, uncertainly. And of that, theres a lot. What does it mean, not just the markets, but the economy as a whole . Reporter the global economy. Janet yellen says she thinks this could sink us into a recession. Why . Its not just the u. S. Economy. Now that corona has hit 50 countries and were he about all of the countries take precautionary measures, think of what that does to economies. Its not just the amount of people getting sick. You mentioned it before. Disney getting closed. Switzerland cancelling events. Companies like facebook and microsoft cancelling large events. When people arent spending, from a government perspective, from a corporate perspective, thats not good for economies. Were moving into hunkerdown mode. Theyre in hunkerdown mode, but if this virus is with us for the next few months, maybe for longer, wall street has to adjust. Is there good news or hope on the horizon . Reporter well, right now, the reason you really saw the market drop so much was not because they know its doomsday. Its because they dont know enough. We are all risk managers. The most valuable thing is information. If youre moms like us, deciding if kids should wear raincoats or a ceo figuring out what to do with your employees around the world. We dont have enough information right now. We have mixed information from even our government. And thats why wall street is saying, im going to take a pause. Yeah. Take a pause. For those at home that arent professional investors but have 401 k s, should they sit tight . Or do they need to be involved in this selloff . Reporter they should absolutely sit tight. For those of us sitting at home, were not professional investors. Were definitely not day traders. Whats happened now is drastic. Remember, just a week ago, the market was hitting highs. Fundamentally, lots of these companies are very good. Were trying to figure out how big the coronavirus is going to be and how to react to it. Right now, its too soon to make a decision. Heres an interesting thing. Stocks that are doing well, are tied to being a home body. Zoom, which is a company that does Video Conferencing for people that work from home, netflix, peloton, anything that involves people staying home and not being out there, it is pretty good for them. Theres a silver lining, stephanie. Thank you very much. Well have more on the virus just ahead, including a closer look at the race to prepare our hospitals and airports in the u. S. For a potential surge in cases. First, craig joins the table. Fresh in from South Carolina. P. Hoda, savannah, good to see both of you. Good to see you, as well. Thats right. All dwreyes are on the first ine south state. Voters in the palmetto state head to the polls less than 24 hours from now. And a new poll there shows joe biden with a substantial lead now. But the candidates are also focused on next week. 14 states up for grabs on super tuesday. Kristen welker has made her way from charleston. Shes in the capital of columbia, South Carolina, this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter hi, craig. Good morning to you. The candidates will be out in force, making their closing arguments to voters. For joe biden, this state could be make or break. He has said this is his southern firewall. If biden wins and wins big, it could shake up this entire race. Overnight, the candidates making their final sprint in South Carolina, aiming to energize voters. The pressure is on former Vice President joe biden, who needs a big win here to revive his campaign. Biden holds a 20point lead in the latest poll. And overnight, he intensified his attacks against the national frontrunner, Bernie Sanders, who is calling for a revolution. This nation isnt looking for a revolution. Its looking for results. Its looking for results, to improve peoples lives. Reporter but the critical question, is it too late to stop sanders ahead of super tuesday . At a latenight event in South Carolina, sanders returned fire against biden. Ive known joe for many years. He is a decent guy. But i dont believe that joe can beat trump. Reporter also feeling the heat, former south bend, indiana, mayor, pete buttigieg, vying to be the modern alternative to sanders but struggling with africanamerican voters. How do you prove that you can win over a Diverse Coalition if you dont have a strong showing in South Carolina . The candidates who are doing strong with minority voters are on the scene for decades or have billions of dollars to make up for not having been on the scene for decades. Reporter many candidates are looking beyond tomorrow and setting sights on super tuesday. Elizabeth warren campaigning overnight in texas. We better have a president ial nominee who has a track record for getting things done. Reporter and Amy Klobuchar in north carolina. We have to win big. We cannot leave areas of the country behind. Reporter but looming over all of them is Mike Bloomberg, pressed by kasie hunt, whether he and the moderates are helping Bernie Sanders by dividing the vote. Did you spend 400 million to hand Bernie Sanders to the nomination . I dont know why you think look, Bernie Sanders has been running for years. I believe that if Bernie Sanders gets the nomination, he will lose to donald trump. Reporter watching it all very closely and not waiting on the sidelines, President Trump. Hes going to hold a rally here in South Carolina a little later on tonight. Key to winning here, africanamerican voters. They make up the majority of democratic voters. And right now, biden has a doubledigit lead with the group. Savannah . Kristen, thank you so much. For more on the race and what to expect tomorrow and through super tuesday, we have Peter Alexander here in orlando with us. Handing out hand warmers. I know. Florida is not what we expected. Lets talk about what we have in South Carolina. Biden has opened up a big doubledigit lead. Craig was just there. He knows firsthand. Is that enough, a big, commanding victory in South Carolina, to propel him on to super tuesday, when you have sanders being the front runner . This is bidens third time running for president. In 1998, 2008, and now 2020. Hes looking for his first state victory. He needs to get it in South Carolina tomorrow. The polls, as youve seen right now, look good for him right now. Up 20 in the latest polls that are out. 45 of africanamericans in that poll supporting him. Keep an eye on the style points. He cant just win. He has to win with a significant margin. That margin will matter. Hes looking for a springboard going forward. He will need it because super tuesday is a couple of days away. Speaking of super tuesday, just four days from now. 1,300 delegates up for grabs there. Michael bloomberg, one of the things that continues to strike a lot of folks, heres a guy thats already spent 200 million, 300 million, and he said hes prepared to spend at least that much more. What effect could bloomberg have on super tuesday and this race moving forward, even if hes not a front runner . Hes an unknown at this point. This is the first time his name will be on the ballots for super tuesday. Will americans be keeping an eye on what he says in ads or the sub par debate performances. Isnt the polls showing hes taking a bite out of biden . If biden does well, bloomberg if bloomberg does well, biden starts to sink. The challenge will be and sanders wins. And sanders surges ahead. One of the challenges is consider california. It may not happen what happens in South Carolina because 2. 7 Million People have already voted in california, more than in all the other states combined. All right, peter. Thanks. Meanwhile, classes have been canceled today in houstons Largest School district after a massive water main break flooded a major highway on thursday. A dozen cars, as you can see, trapped under water. First responders called in to rescue people stranded on their roofs. Officials say a private contractor was doing repairs on a major water line.

A follow up on a story we brought you yesterday, about the nhl player that suffered a cardiac episode during a game earlier this month Jay Bouwmeester making his first appearance in his home arena last night since he almost lost his life fans, lets all welcome back to enterprise center, Jay Bouwmeester. [ cheers and applause super sweet bouwmeester, of course, got a standing o from the st. Louis crowd. He was there to watch his teammates take on the islanders. The 36yearold collapsed during a game in anaheim. He was revived with a defibrillator. He said his health is improving but, for now, he is putting his hockey career on hold. Good to see him doing reasonably well though how about we go from hockey to baseball. Were not the only ones who descended on Florida Spring training for the Major League Baseball season under way here in the Sunshine State and fans have been noticing a lot of wild pitches against the Houston Astros in the wake of the teams cheating scandal. Kerry sanders spent some time at spring training. He joins us this morning good morning. Were in your neck of the woods. Good morning, guys. Welcome to florida it could be a long baseball season for the scandalscarred Houston Astros the astros played six preseasong and the first outi and a number of the batters have been beamed with fast balls. Leading to the question are players on the other Team Pitching their own sort of payback . Oh. Breaking ball. Reporter that pitch that beamed astros player alex bregman has baseball fans buzzing. Bregman was on the scandal team for the 2017 2018 team was it just a wild pitch or hard ball justice unfortunate for him, as he takes the hit by pitch on the fast ball. Reporter it was the sevent time an astros batter up has been hit by the opposing team in five games, the most in the league thats no fun reporter it comes as the team was boo eed at their firs spring training game of the year if Major League Baseball and the Players Association wont take care of the cheating scandal, the fans have to take care of it by booing the Houston Astros are world champions reporter the reason for it all, a Major League Baseball investigation found in 2017 and 18 the astros used an elaborate and illegal that included astros players and staffers banging on trash cans to indicate specific pitches to batters. One fan mimicking the move during spring training the fans will take it upon themselves to punish the astros. The rest of Major League Baseball, the players and fans, basically think the astros have not been punished. Reporter the astros team manager and gm were fired. But no players were penalized. I spoke to bregman when spring training began he did not tell fans, im sorry, but did say he is embarrassed. I think i learned from this and i hope to regain their trust. Reporter outside the astros nationals matchup thursday night, mixed fan reaction on whether those wild pitches were intentional just dont hit them in the head or the knee, its great they should get a lot for it. I think it just happened. Reporter on twitter, angry fans praising the errant hits. But in a press conference last week, Major League Baseball commissioner, rob manfred, warned opposing players not to retaliate against the astros when somebody is throwing intentionally at a player, it creates the risk of serious, serious injury reporter now, some sports analysts we talked to chalk it up to pitchers being rusty at the beginning of the season or rookie minor league players, who were throwing nervously. As you can see, so many fans have concluded its a form of poetic sandlot baseball justice. Somebodys going to get hurt, though dusty baker, the astros manager, he expressed concern about this very thing happening. 90, 100 mile an hour ball, it hurts. Thanks, kerry just ahead, preparing for anything with concerns over coronavirus groeg growing by the day, how ready is the u. S.

The best part of waking up is folgers in your cup. We are back with indepth today. This morning, a closer look at the steps being taken to contain the coronavirus here in the united states. The risk is relatively low. But with that first possible Community Spread case, as they call it in california, the government is ready for anything tom costello is at a hospital in chicago. I know theyre on alert there. Are they ready reporter absolutely. Were at the e. R. In northwestern theyre dealing with a surge in seasonal flu cases right now but theyre asking every patient that comes in and every visitor for their travel history, trying to sort out potential coronavirus cases. So far, they havent had any but if they do, they will treat those patients in isolation. And were seeing similar steps in hospitals nationwide. Worldwide this morning, growing concern over a growing Health Crisis with Health Officials here in the u. S. Moving fast to prepare for what the cdc calls an inevitable spread. Were, right now, in a very active containment mode. Reporter thousands of americans nationwide, already under voluntary selfquarantine after returning from china, even though they dont pose any immediate risk the u. S. Has faced outbreaks before from sars in 2003, which killed at least 774 globally. To the h1n1 virus in 2009, that had a global death toll of at least 151,000 both outbreaks providing the government a road map as it navigates the days and months ahead. At Northwestern Memorial Hospital in chicago, dr. Benjamin singer says theyre on alert for coronavirus, as the e. R. And icu is full of patients recovering from the seasonal flu. How can you tell the difference between a seas bit. Thats why we pay a lot of attention to their history, where they traveled and the people with whom theyve been in contact. Reporter meanwhile, as Health Screenings continue at select u. S. Airports, the cdc is distributing new test kits to Public Health next week, ensuring theres enough supplies onhand, including masks and gowns. First responders trained to identify possible cases. In pittsburgh, theyve been given personal protection kits Health Experts insist an outbreak will look nothing like what is depicted in hollywood movies what if we run out of body bags reporter like contagion in 2011 it will look and feel to the American People more like a flu season, in the interventions and approaches you see reporter President Trump says he will do whatever is necessary, even if that means following chinas lead and quarantining entire cities we have plans on a larger scale if we need it. We dont think well need it, but you always have to be prepared reporter prepared to take every precaution, to face a new and unfamiliar disease tom, on the way flying down here, a couple of people had the face masks on. It got me wondering, are they a good idea . Do they do anything . Reporter yeah. So, i asked dr. Singer here at northwestern that question and he referred me to the cdc guidance, which says, if you are sick or somebody in your family is sick, this makes a good idea, right . You want to avoid spreading the germs. Its less effective if youre simply trying to avoid getting sick by going through an airport or a bus station or whatever else this may not be that helpful what is helpful is to constantly wash your hands, dont touch your face. And if youre in a clinical environment, take advantage of the Hand Sanitizer all of us in the e. R. , have been doing this constantly yesterday and today. You mentioned the cdc, tom. Theres news theyre changing criteria for testing patients after that first case of unknown origin in the u. S. Was confirmed. What more can you tell us about thatright . Up until now, they were separy now, if this disease is spreading on its own in the united states, that no longer is enough so, theyre now going to be pushing 93 test kits to labs across the country by this weekend, so theres a quicker way to diagnose somebody with coronavirus. 70 companies are competing with finding some sort of a diagnostic test for hospitals to use at the bedside, so you dont have to send those out to a lab. The whole spectrum here is opening up, if this is out among the population, as opposed to a simple travel history alone. All right tom costello in chicago for us tom, good information. Thank you. How about we take a little break and get a check on the weather. Mr. Roker is outside studio 1a thats right. It looks like it look at this we got the comcast nbc building here in universal. Its also home to Jimmy Fallons race through new york. Another bit of new york here in the northeast. Why are we seeing so much lakeeffect snow were talking two feet or more heres the problem normally, the great lakes would be iced over completely. Were talking 30 to 100 iced over however, the ice situation, because its been so warm, the great lakes, pretty much wideopen. And that is the fuel source for all that snow. The warmer the cold air picks up the warm, moist air across the lakes and that brings a ton of snow. Were talking 8 inches to 2 feet of snow around the great lakes that good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Were starting to see some high clouds moving in this morning and that will give us a miltered sunshine as our temperatures still warm up into the upper 70s in the inland valley and along the coast well see highs in the low to mid60s. Over the next few days a big cooldown headed our way for tomorrow as wells as sunday. And it will also be very windy, especially on sunday as the winds peak, possibly reaching 35 to 40 Miles Per Hour and then warming up again next week. Okay, guys.

So much fun planned, just ahead. Cant wait Little Big Town is here. One of our absolute favorites. Were going to get a concert in a few. Lets get to the news. Here it is 8 00 the coronavirus has spread to at least 50 countries and that mysterious case in california is raising concerns, about how this virus is transmitted in the first place good morning reporter savannah, good morning. This new case of the coronavirus is a big concern because doctors simply dont know how the patient could have caught the virus. We may be entering New Territory in the fight against the spread of the virus here in the u. S seriously ill and on a ventilator, the newly diagnosed victim at the u. C. Davis Medical Center represents the first possible u. S. Case of Community Spread of the coronavirus. It means doctors dont know how or where the unidentified woman got sick, since she had no travel to china or known exposure to someone with the virus. Theres probably other patients who are getting this disease, who are more mildly affected, who have not come to medical attention. Reporter the woman arrived at the Medical Center february 19th with signs of a viral infection. But testing for the coronavirus was delayed because the patient didnt fit cdc testing guidelines four days later, the cdc did order testing. The results coming back positive now, medical staff who came into contact with the patient have been told to selfquarantine this case that were discussing today marks a turning point. Reporter the victim lives in Solano County, where hundreds of americans have arrived at Travis Air Force base for quarantine. Now, in a reported complaint, obtained by the new york times, a federal whistleblower claims some federal workers never had proper training or adequate safety equipment. Meanwhile, in a neighboring county, three u. C. Davis roommates have now been put in isolation after one began showing mild symptoms of coronavirus. California governor gavin newsom says the state is prepared we have to meet this moment with a sense of urgency and conviction reporter this morning, the thin line between panic and caution, as doctors scramble to figure out how one woman got sick and if others are exposed with the possible Community Spread of the virus, more and more cities are preparing for potential outbreaks. Doctors say the overall risk to the public is low and people should protect themselves as they do against the flu every winter guys, back to you. All right, Miguel Almaguer there for us thank you. Now, to South Carolina and tomorrows highstakes democratic primary there a new poll has former Vice President joe biden with a 20point lead over Bernie Sanders. Biden is counting on strong africanamerican support, in what is seen as a mustwin state for him. Some of the candidates have moved on from South Carolina to campaign in those super tuesday states, where Michael Bloomberg will appear on the ballot next week for the first time. A Convenient Store clerk is recovering after getting her hand stuck in a safe for three hours. Briana hutchison needed to make change for a 100 bill she reached into the cash security box she hit the button and it trapped her hand firefighters had to use a saw to cut the machine apart and free her. Only bruises on her fingers. She felt bad because the store had just been remodeled. They had to do more work well, how about a boost . I have a morning boost for you.

Keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. Officially hitting the us. Virus man the markets are plunging for a second straight day. Vo Health Experts warn the us is underprepared.

The dow down another 700 points, it is down more than 10 this week alone. A look at the traffic picture. It is backed up because of traffic into the northbound 880.
