Chief global correspondent bill neely there in milan. Thank you. Were joined by dr. Joseph fehr. He was on the front lines to contain the Ebola Outbreak in africa. Doctor, good morning. Good to have you with us. Thank you. The notion the cdc has lowered the criteria so more people can be tested to see if they have coronavirus, potentially, that means we could see the numbers really go high. Thats the impact of that decision . Thats presumably what we will see. Undoubtedly, thats what well see. The more we test, the more well see. Overnight, weve gone from two states to seven states with active cases, and those are being tested by local Public Health laboratories, yet to be confirmed by the cdc. A lot of the symptoms found are like the common cold, sounds like the flu. How can you determine who has coronavirus . Who should be tested . You personally cannot because of the words you mentioned. You know, it is going to present just like the common cold. It is going to present just like the common flu. The thing to do is go to your primary care physician. Get those ruled out. First of all, get your flu shot. That way, it helps us rule out flu to start with. Go to your physician if you have the common cold. Theyll test to see if it is the common form of coronavirus cold, because were in the middle of cold and flu season, and that will raise the level. If youre negative for that but have the symptoms, itd indicate you probably need to be tested for covid19. There are reports that this virus can be asymptomatic. Show no symptoms at all, that raises the specter of it. It can be here and people not knowing they have it. Do you consider that to be a likely possibility . Absolutely. Just like with your common cold, theres mild to moderate. Thats the majority of cases, mild to moderate. 50 to 20 is where were seeing the severe illness, severe acute respiratory symptoms. If youre one of the people who im asking for a friend, who will live with the common cold and go to work and keep on trucking, is this the time if you have a cold, go to your doctor and get it ruled out . Absolutely. Its more important than ever to do that. Really quickly, dr. Fair, what more should we be doing that we are not doing . Trying to present the outbreak from continuing. It comes down to the individual. Its each of our responsibilities. Use hand washing. Increase that. Use tissues for elevator butts opinion wipe down that seat. Wipe down the tray table. When they clean the airplane, theyre not disinfecting the airplane. Do the masks work at all . On any level. They work but for Health Care Professionals because were trained in what we call Infection Prevention and control. The vast majority of people dont know how to use a regular surgical mask. It doesnt protect you from a respiratory illness. It is more to protect an open body of patients that are having surgery. Dr. Fair, thank you. Appreciate it.

Biden wants to turn this into a Biden Sanders race coming out of super tuesday. The fact is, he was locked down in South Carolina to win as big as he did there.

Really, his path is to maybe get 20 in california, be competitive in texas, try to do well in massachusetts, do well in colorado, sweep the south.

In the letter, she criticizes usa gymnastics and olympic leadership you call what theyre doing in the letter a coverup. What are they covering up . The problem is, i dont know exactly. I dont know all of the answers. And in order to make real change, we need to understand exactly what went wrong. Reporter can you explain it to people that dont understand, what they are fighting you on specifically i personally would like to see usa gymnastics and the United States Olympic Committee release all their documents and data, because they are not doing that theyre not answering our questions. Reporter nbc news reached out to usa gymnastics in response to raismans comments the organization says, in part, it has fully cooperated with all investigative bodies, adding it must respect the confidentiality and integrity of the process the Olympic Committee said, in part, they have deep respect and empathy for the victims, and they are committed to achieving justice for the survivors in an expedited manner both groups are also under fire from their biggest star, simone biles. Tweeting, i wish they wanted an independent investigation as much as the survivors and i do last summer, the champion was in tears. You literally had one job and you couldnt protect us. Reporter all this happening with the summer games looming. Its less than six months to the olympics in tokyo. What is this situation doing to morale on that team . Its hard to put into words ive been watching the gymnasts. And im really proud of them i think theyre doing an amazing job. I am heartbroken this is still going on reporter the olympic champion says gymnastics leadership is failing the athletes we did our job. We worked really hard. We did the best that we could. And we won gold medals for team usa. And were asking them now to work really hard and to do the right thing by us. And we dont feel that same effort from them stephanie, what does usa gymnastics say about all this and what its doing to prevent Something Like this from ever happening again . Reporter well, savannah, they say they are working hard and they tell us in a statement, quote, they are deeply committed to learning from these investigations and finding ways to prevent abuse in the future the Organization Also telling us that theyve instituted policies to make the safety of athletes a priority and make it easier for them to report any future abuse.

Nbcs tom costello is at Reagan National airport with what you need to know and more. Travel is a biggie hi, tom. Good morning reporter hi, guys. Good morning to you. American airlines joining alaska and Jetblue Airlines in waiving the change fees if people want to cancel or change a flight because of coronavirus fears cdc insists for the general public, and public areas like this, the risk is pretty low however, with an evolving situation, the federal government simply doesnt want to take any chances. With tens of thousands of coronavirus cases worldwide, including at least 80 here in the u. S. , the federal government trying to reassure the public, its prepared. We will have more and we will have more community cases. Its simply a matter of math reporter the cdc says it will allow hundreds of labs across the country to test for the virus, to more quickly identify potential patients and track transmission we now that 75,000 tests available out there in the United States. And over the next week, that will expand radedly on top of the 75,000 tests available reporter but fear and misinformation continue to spread across social media, many, including some celebrities, have posted photos wearing face masks. Health experts say thats sending the wrong message. The Surgeon General tweeting that people should stop buying them, explaining that masks are not effective for general prevention, and need to be pr v preserved for Health Care Providers and those already sick 3m is increasing production to 35 Million Masks per month in corporate america, its anything but business as usual, after the stock market took a hit last week, the big egs gest decline since the 2008 recession. And with fears mounting, giant companies are telling workers to avoid unnecessary trips. The Auto Industry is in trouble, too, scrambling to find parts and prevent shortages, facing delays from chinese supply chains now, experts predict that car sales can fall by 2. 5 this year conferences around the country also cancelled in texas, a Global Energy gathering, expected to bring thousands from more than 80 countries to houston, called off. Worldwide, travel is taking a massive hit, as well delta and american, suspending flights between the u. S. And milan, italy, until late april at the earliest. United halting flights to japan, singapore and south korea. Meanwhile, retail is hurting, with international supplies being held up and shipments delayed. Even some bridestobe scrambling to find wedding dresses before their big day yikes you paint a pretty grim picture, mr. Costello heres the thing, if the elderly are most at risk, how are officials explaining the relatively young doctors who died over in china reporter you know, i asked that exact same question of dr. Fauci of the nih we had several 30something doctors in china that died of the virus. And he said, for the typical, young, healthy person, it probably is not going to be a fatal risk but these doctors were at the epicenter. They may have very high viral loads, surrounded by the virus they could have had greater risk with an Underlying Health condition. Being surrounded by so much of the virus at the epicenter may have proven to be too much for them some that had the virus, that the symptoms are reported to have been rather mild. Yeah. Reporter yeah. Weve heard from people who have had or have the virus. And they said, i had a tight chest, a little respiratory distress, but nothing significant. Didnt think of going to the doctor no fever, no chills, no aches. And for most people, the advice is, they can take some ibuprofen and will get through it just fine if they have to go to the hospital, the hospital will treat them with fluids and ibuprofen and whatever you would normally do for somebody who has the flu. But there are no antivirals right now for this particular strain of the coronavirus. And no vaccine, that makes it dangerous to those who are 65, 70 and older can we make one important point . So far, we have two cases here in the United States two fatal cases. We have somewhere between 18,000 and 40,000 people who die every year from the seasonal flu its important to put that into context. Thank you, tom. Im glad that tom included the part about the masks weve been traveling a lot over the last few days. And you see people wearing the surgical masks not only are they saying its not effective for what people are hoping, but the Surgeon General said its the Health Professionals that need the masks. Dont waste them. Yeah. Stop wasting them. Mr. Roker . How about handing out wipes wipes are good. You use those anyway. I do. You handed me a lovely pack when we were traveling back from orlando.

Oprah, the icon, on her 2020 vision speaking tour and during her stop in l. A. , there was a scary moment on stage, where oprah fell and lost her balance. Wellness to me means all things in balance. And balance doesnt mean all things are equal or at peace at all times. Wrong shoes. So, its nice to be talking about balance and fall thankfully shes okay and she sees the humor in literally falling while she was talking about balance. And she posted on her instagram this after the show. I thought, this is a great day, inspite of the fall, which now becomes a meme i know i tripped myself up. I dont know if there was something on the floor i had an indication i was going to fall before and then, you know, it is what it is. It was a great, great day. She also shared this photo, writing, sunday reading and icing.

Thats what i do, too, j. Lo two talented parents. No surprise. Absolutely. Saturday night live was so funny this weekend host john mulaney. Instead of doing a celebrity monologue, they let him do a little standup and that included making fun of his dad. My dad has no friends and your dad has no friends. If you think your dad has friends, youre wrong. Your mom has friends and they have husbands. Those are not your dads friends. Its hard to make friends when youre an adult male that was the greatest miracle of jesus, truly he was a 33yearold man and he had 12 best friends. And they were not his wifes friends husbands. It was so funny he is so funny. All the time and hes right, by the way this is great its snl. We have larry david being Bernie Sanders, hitting Pete Buttigieg about the coronavirus. Roll that. You want to talk highrisk . I have it on Good Authority that Pete Buttigieg is a hand cougher. Yeah yeah, yeah he coughs right into the hand, not the elbow, which we can all agree is not perfect, but its at least something america doesnt need a handcougher they need a president thats old enough to know typhoid mary. And pete drops out the next day. That knocked him out. I dont know. The funny sketch about la guardia, about the airport in new york, too. Jake gyllenhaal shows up they went for it very funny thats pop start. Good one. Thank you, carson. Just ahead, Stephanie Ruehl is back.

March is womens History Month all month long, well celebrate the achievements of women. According to the labor statistics bureau, theres a gender pay gap and in the u. S. , women make 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man. That gap is even bigger for women of color and correspondent Stephanie Ruhle is here to take control of your money everybody is looking at the stock market and freaking out to see the big drops and wondering, what are you supposed to do with anything no one has a clear answer right now. Its obviously scary when you see the market drop like that. But the reason it dropped so much is uncertainty. You know, we dont have answers. We know corona is going to have a significant economic impact. But you cant get yourself crazy. And you shouldnt be making Investment Decisions based on this one moment in time. And i assume it will make a big difference, when you need that money if youre in my age range, between 33 and 55, there might be an opportunity if theres a bargain. This is a scary time if youre looking to retire this year. When you look at the markets like this. If i was someone in that position, just be informed dont be panicked and dont bury your head in the sand. Your Financial Health is so important. Be aware of it lets talk about women and money, what is your overall message . What do women need to know when it comes to this subject ladies, get involved. This is your future. Im not saying dont hope that prince charming whisks you away. But if youre dependent on that Glass Slipper fitting your foot, thats a problem if it doesnt fit, you get stuck with the mice and the pumpkins, again. This is 2020. I dont know how many women are thinking about it that way but do you think women are involved with their finances and know what their options are . We keep giving that power away or we say, i dont want to think about it if youre single, know your situation. Spend accordingly. And the people i want to talk to are moms oftentimes, moms who stay at home, they think theyve given up financial power they havent but they need to talk to their partner. When i was growing up, my mom took care of us and my dad would give her an allowance. Women shouldnt feel like, am i allowed to have that money thats your partner. What if theyre not . What if you have a divorce what if theres a death . If youre about to sign your taxes, im not telling you to be a tax expert, but thats a legal document know what youre signing how can you plan if youre a mom thats not working outside of the home but youre staying at home. Can you save for retirement . That kind of thing youre saying have a sense of what to do with regard to your spouse, but how do you do that if you do work outside of the house, you can get a 401 k . But theres a spousal i. R. A. Lets say your spouse is working, they can contribute on your behalf. Thats a Huge Positive we know that women love longer live longer than men. And you should be planning for that its yucky i know you dont want to but we know women are living a couple years older dont you want to have that conversation now or what about, if you do lose your spouse and you end up with your kids. Think about longterm care insurance. You and i, im sure, both know families that are financially strapped because of longterm carefu what about Life Insurance we need it. We need Life Insurance think about this what if i am that stayathome mom, havent worked in years you want Life Insurance, god forbid, you lose your partner. These are important conversations but not devastating ones a reality, if you lost your partner, is devastating. Theres a lot of women, for whatever reason, they dont want to be involved with the bills, et cetera. Your big message is, if you dont want to be the one doing the math and some women love doing the math and are good at it if youre one of those that doesnt want to have to do it, you should still be aware of whats there please be aware of it why would you give all that power away think about this if you have signed your name to things, youre on the hook if you havent, you want to sign your name. You want to make sure your name is on every bank account, on the car, on the house. If you decide to split, you need to get credit on your own. If you are signing your name to things and your spouse is in charge of paying and theyre not paying the bills, youre on the hook when the collection comes whats a good way to establish credit and you need to over time get a credit card in your name pay that bill every month if you can. Get yourself financially educated yeah. Im not asking anybody to be a tax expert but your Financial Health is so important, you have to address it and i want to say one more thing, talk to people about it talk to your girlfriends girlfriends talk to each other about the dirtiest, naughtiest, nastiest secrets but we dont talk about whats in our wallet. If we cant ask for help, this is our future, girls stephanie, preach thank you. Coming up, jenna celebrates one year of her book club and gets help from special guests to reveal this months pick wild thing, you make my heart sing. You make everything. Groovy. Done yet .
