Employer level if theyre telling their employees stay home, and a lot of factors go into that. Is anybody sick, for example what kind of close contact has that employee had with others . How much travel history and exposure might there be from people maybe coming in and out of the company and having traveled domestically or abroad . To what extent is the proximity of the office location, seattle, San Francisco, whatever the case may be, is that in and of itself a risk factor . Some companies now in the seattle area have decided, in fact, it is. Tom, really quickly here, what are for folks watching and listening who are rightfully worried, what are some of the most important things people should be doing to avoid getting the virus altogether reporter ive got to say, my email has blown up from even colleagues over the last few days, asking to reiterate this lets go through this one more time it bears repeating the number one thing to avoid getting sick is simply to wash your hands regularly, wash your hands for a good 20 seconds or so avoid touching your face we all have a tendency to want to scratch our face or whatever the case may be. As soon as you do that, if you have a contaminant on your hand, you can spread it to you eyes, your nose or your mouth. Thats a problem avoid close contact with people who might be sick. Of course, if you, yourself, are sick, try to stay home theres also now this recommendation maybe avoid shaking hands and hugs and kisses that was a recommendation yesterday from Health Authorities on the west coast, and try to stay away from people six feet away from people if you think they may be sick as well common sense is really where we are right now.

Well get a panel of doctors. Team of experts first, another big story this morning, the race for the white house and the growing momentum for joe biden in the wake of his historic super tuesday comeback this morning as the democratic field narrows even further, his campaign is picking up new endorsements in a moment well have savannahs exclusive conversation with the former Vice President first, nbc senior washington correspondent Andrea Mitchell has the very latest. Andrea, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, craig. Joe biden winning 10 out of 14 super tuesday states now faced with trying to use the momentum from his historic turnaround to dramatically expand his Campaign Organization and his fundraising operations what he would need to do to be able to defeat Bernie Sanders decisively, to reunite the party and then take on the biggest challenge of all, President Trump. Joe biden still basking in the glow of his super tuesday surge. Were going to take this fight all across america, to rebuild the middle class. Reporter boosted by an endorsement from michael bloomberg, who spent more than 500 million on his president ial campaign, now abandoning the race, but not his quest to defeat President Trump. Ive always believed that defeating donald trump starts with uniting behind the candidate with the best shot to do it. And after yesterdays vote, it is clear that candidate is my friend and a great american, joe biden. Reporter the two men talked wednesday morning with the billionaire former new york city mayor offering his help. Campaign finance laws prohibit bloomberg from donating more than 2,800 to piedbiden, but ha be a oneman super pack, providing boots on the ground in battleground states, Data Analytics to help biden target voters on social media and tv ads, and help biden improve his Online Fundraising it is the latest turning point in the unpredictable democratic race with biden and sanders locked in a battle for delegates and another round of big primaries next week, many in states favorable to biden now were dealing with one candidate and i feel good about that. Reporter in an exclusive interview with msnbcs rachel maddow. Joe biden is a strong opponent hell have all the corporate world behind him, the political world behind him whats important for us is to contrast our record, our vision for the future with joes. Reporter and sanders who has railed against the democratic establishment and failed to make inroads on super tuesday with africanamerican voters, releasing this ad, touting praise from former president obama. I want somebody who will fight for them theyll find it in bernie. Feel the burn. That new sanders ads under fire for using parts of speeches dating back to 2006. Taking obamas words out of context. Meanwhile the other progressive in the field, elizabeth warren, is now reassessing her campaign according to aides after her disappointed showing on tuesday. Warrens next move could be decisive in the outcome of the race if she drops out and endorses sanders, it would create a pitch battle within the party all the way to the convention and beyond savannah and craig Andrea Mitchell in washington, thank you. That ad she was just talking about with president obama is one of the things we addressed in our exclusive interview with jon joe biden. We began the conversation by asking the former Vice President to react to that big comeback in the race if someone had told you even a week ago that you would do so well on super tuesday, that you would be outright winning states you never even set foot in, be honest, would you have believed them yes, we believe we would. I was certain wed win virginia. I was certain wed win North Carolina i was certain wed win alabama, certain wed win other states. As big as it was, i was surprised about massachusetts. I was surprised about minnesota. And i was hopeful about texas. Lets talk about mr. Sanders. Hes been talking about your victory. He said joe is running a campaign which is obviously heavily supported by the corporate establishment. What do you think about that argument its ridiculous its ridiculous. Bernie, you got beaten by overwhelming support i have in the africanamerican community, bernie you got beaten because of suburb women, bernie. You got beaten because of middle class, hardworking folks out there, bernie. Youve raised a lot more money than i have, bernie. The president has been watching the democratic primary closely, and hes been weighing in on behalf of Bernie Sanders he says the system is rigged against sanders that the democrats are, quote, staging a coup against him. Do you think the president is rooting for sanders . I think what the president doesnt want to do from the very beginning is face me, because i can beat him period period he has done everything in his power, even risked his presidency because he doesnt want to face me. A rhetorical question. Have you ever, ever seen a sitting president get so involved in a democratic primary and focus so much attention on not wanting a single person, me, to become the nominee . The president does not want me to be the nominee. You mentioned the president has gone after you we know hes obviously hoping that theres more investigation of your son, of burisma, the Energy Company that he served on the board of do you think as it rises, hes coming after you more . Of course theres nothing there. Donald trump has taken the soul of the country donald trump has pummeled the middle class, has embraced dictators and poked his thumb in the eye of our allies. Donald trump is a disaster he knows it. He knows im going to be able to point it out i can hardly, hardly wait to debate him first you have to get through the democratic primary turning to that, Bernie Sanders released an ad today ill play a portion. I think you may recognize the voice youre about to hear i think people are ready for a call to action they want honest leadership who cares about them they want somebody who is going to find for them, and they wil find it in bernie. Thats right, feel the bern. President obama has not endorsed anyone in the democratic primary do you think the ad is misleading is that before or after bernie said the president should be primaried in his second term . I cant recall which one that was. Look, it is not at all surprising everybody is bembracing barack he was a great president , a wonderful guy. He said a lot of nice things about a lot of people. The idea that Bernie Sanders was a great supporter of the president of the United States and shares his views, i mean come on. Anyway, it doesnt matter. It doesnt matter much. Is it time for president obama to get off the sideline and make an endorsement and put his finger on the scale . No. I dont think so imagine having endorsed me and we won as big as we did yesterday. Youd all be saying i won because of barack. Im winning because of me. Im going to earn this on my own. Lets talk about mike bloomberg. He dropped out of the race hes supporting you now. What kind of help will he give to your campaign what do you expect what do you hope he talked about my character, talked about why he supported me, and he talked about why hed be enthusiastic about it that by itself is a gigantic help senator sanders has been hitting you hard on some of your past decisions, some of your record, in particular. Hes talking about your vote in favor of the iraq war. He also said you voted for trade agreements that will make it difficult for you in some of the rust belt states that will be voting in the next few weeks does he have a point about aspects of your record coming back to haunt you . No. My record has been so thoroughly investigated you guys rightly looked at it, every vote ive ever taken now lets go to michigan, bernie, and see if thats true im the guy that helped bail out the automobile industry. What did you do, old buddy come on. This idea that my record is a problem this is a guy that voted against the brady bill five times for background checks on people. I welcome the competition, bernie lets talk about your votes. Lets talk about my votes. Lets see what the American People say there was a scary moment on stage the other night when a protester rushed the stage and your wife, dr. Jill biden and one of your senior advisers, symone sanders, rushed to the rescue they make for good security, but does that raise, in your mind, the question of whether you should have u. S. Secret Service Protection and whether the other candidates in the race should . I think thats something that outrageous some of this becomes. Was that scary . I tell you, my wife is something else, isnt she . Yes she had your back for sure. I wasnt worried for me i was worried for jill i love her she is incredible. She did the same thing in another event in New Hampshire when a guy i didnt see him coming behind me approached she runs up and grabs him. She and my daughter have more courage than i think anyway, thats what i worry about. I worry about jill. Does it feel like that kind of protection is necessary well, i think its becoming increasingly so. I dont like to pull the trump routine of, you know, someone stands up, protests, throw them out, kick the bum out. I dont do that. I do think the idea of jumping on a stage is just not permissible. The last thing we need is anybody hurt. Do you feel confident you can sew up this nomination before the convention, or do you think this is a battle that will go all the way to milwaukee well go from the dakotas to michigan, places i think i can do well. If i do that, it piles up more support, more momentum thats my hope, my expectation im not looking all the way down the road to the convention. Mr. Vice president , thank you for being with us. Really appreciate it. Thank you savannah. Vice President Biden clearly confident. He definitely had a little more pep in his step after super tuesday and was kind of feisty with Bernie Sanders saying come on, old friend, lets do it. Cant wait to debate the president , he said obviously feeling better than when we saw him a couple weeks ago before iowa. A much different situation well continue to follow an exciting race. The picture should be a little more clear in five days. Yeah. Chief Justice John Roberts issuing a stunning rebuke to Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer over comments the senator made about two Supreme Court justices and how they might rule in a major Abortion Case earlier wednesday, schumer assailed justices kavanaugh and gorsuch, saying they wont know what hit them if they rule in favor of abortion restrictions i want to tell you, gorsuch i want to tell you, kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price in a statement chief Justice Roberts said, quote, justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, theyre dangerous. The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on an Abortion Case out of louisiana deciding whether the new restrictive law is unconstitutional. 7 20 busy morning we have to get a check of the weather including a new round in the south of storms.

Mr. Karins, bill is in for al this morning what are we looking at, buddy . All eyes on southern georgia and northern florida were not going to get a large Severe Weather outbreak. We could get one or two tornadoes today. Unlike the tennessee thing that was at night, these could happen during the day when kids are in school and people are getting out of work. Pay attention to the storm system today this is north florida and southern georgia were talking about. The rest is heavy rain for your morning commute in atlanta and areas of south carolina. Well also be watching the storm heading into the great lakes with windy conditions behind it. Maybe airport delays at ohare later on today nice day in the northeast. Tomorrow is when the storm will be closest to you and thats when well deal with rain and snow depending on your elevation especially through the mountainous areas. High fire danger in the middle of the country very dry and warm. Areas of the west continue to be very warm and also very dry.

May measure more rain here on saturday, highs reaching only in the low to mid50s in time for the weekend. Forecast a fantastic weekend forecast coming your way shortly. Carson. Thanks so much. Now to a very special your health at 8. Everything you need to know about the coronavirus and keeping your family healthy. With new cases being reported daily, its important to know how to prevent the spread of germs. Well start with dr. Oz who is here we know about washing your hands. It seems simple. Lets dive deeper into it. I heard 20 seconds. Is that right . Well give you a bunch of tips coronavirus survival kit think of it that way it will be on todayshow. Com. Social sites for dr. Oz. Print it out and give it to your friends. Well start with a diy vaccine everyone knows about washing your hands but its about getting your fingers clean. Its why we fist bump. It matters washing your hands is not just about getting your fingers wet we have a working sink here. They put the soap on there this is pretty critical. Once you get the soap on your hands, dont just wash the back of your wrist. Its your fingertips that matter with the turkish twist is this how the Health Workers do it . This is what we do in the operating room this is what the World Health Organization recommends. Then we do the thumb twist why the thumb we have opposing fingers for a reason well touch our face with ou index finger or our thumb. It matters finally grease the palms too early. Get the fingertips clean like this youve got 20 seconds to meditate on life dont think about just staying calm realize were a cando nation and can stay ahead of this well give the Health Care System a little time, and well work this out. How do you turn the sink off not like that. This is my sink take a napkin i do this in public bathrooms but not at home. If the virus is in the family, you have to protect each other. Youre not going to get sick and die, but someone dear to you, an older person, you have to take care of the house. Use this to exit the door, as well, if it is in the public this is my new problem, i wear contact lenses. My fingers are in my eyeballs all the time would a tip be to wear your glasses more right now the bigger tip is keep your fingers clean. Youll touch your eyes whether youre putting in contact lenses or not matt matt mathematically, 3,000 thats virus right to body. Its not passed because i cough in your face its passed because i touch something. This is an inat inanimate object the virus can be on there for seven, eight, nine days. Were stealing your time. Savannah thank you dr. Oz we have important stuff to talk about with dr. Torres. Hand sanitizer, is it as good as washing your hands if you can get to the sink, thats the best thing to do. If you cant, use the Hand Sanitizers people use alcohol gel sanitizers that are everywhere. Are they all created equal . Essentially you want to make sure it has 60 alcohol. Thats the key become a label reader. The way you use it, you put a bunch on your hands. Show how much this is a lot you want to be able to cover your whole hand. You work it through your fingers. Essentially you keep working it until its dry it will take about 20 seconds to dry. This is more than i would have used. Dont stop rubbing until its dry. Thats what happens. People tend to do this and get to a point where its not is the rubbing making it more effective . It is it has to be on your hands for 20 seconds to kill the virus. Assuming you dont dunk your hands into dirt, how long does this stay effective . Until the next time you touch something. Then you get it on your hands. The one thing to remember is, youre going to be doing this, and then the next thing you do, youre going to pick up your cell phone that cell phone, who knows where that has been. Ive dropped my cell phone in the toilet before. Oh, im not alone. I heard that then you have to figure out how to pick it up. If youre somewhere out and about and in public places, your keyboard at work you want to clean them two different ways, the sprays and the wipes. These are made for this type of thing. The cdc says regular Household Cleaning Products will work. Lysol, whatever. A lot of them say specifically, especially the wipes, killing 99. 99 of the germs. If you look on the back, they say will kill human coronaviruses which is something i think theyve had since the sars epidemic a few years ago. The main difference being, with the sprays you can get more penetration. The wipes are more convenient. The big thing is you want to put them on the surface and let them dry on the surface dont wipe them up let them dry. Im not rubbing them in with a paper towel . The wipes you rub with the wipe these, spray as much as you can and let it dry if its been there longer than ten minutes, they say thats the maximum. At that point you can dry it off. Most part, let it dry. Does it have to say anti bacterial or if it says disinfectant or bleach it should work if it says disinfectant or bleach, it should work were putting a link o today. Com. Cdc approved wipes and sprays you can go to. Hydrogen peroxide, those are the ingredients you need to know about. Weve got to go because oz took all our time. In the event you have to selfquarantine like here in new york state 1,000 folks have been asked to selfquarantine. You find yourself caring for someone who might have been exposed.

If you rely on prescription drugs, do what al did, get that extra two months supply right now so you have peace of mind in case theres disruption to the supply chain. The cabin fever could get real. Yes, 100 you could be bored once youre done binging, you want to have the games, the books, things you can do as a family if youre not isolating folks from each other. This is important. Go back to old school stuff, read a book. Maybe two weeks of quiet time will do you some good. Or actually sit and talk to each other isnt that crazy so old fashioned. A big thank you, dr. Oz, dr.

A lot of folks think of it as a disease that only affects older people, but in recent years weve seen an alarming spike in the number of young people being diagnosed, prompting calls for earlier screening, but not everyone agrees and that could be causing a lot of cancer to go undiagnosed for years. Reporter alarming new findings every day 49 new cases of Colorectal Cancer will be diagnosed in people under the age of 50. Ten of them will die the most striking thing is that this comes after a period of steady decline. All of a sudden theres been a steady rise and its expected to continue this is not an isolated phenomenon just happening now. Reporter the founding director of the young onset Colorectal Cancer center, one of the few places in the world dedicated to figuring out why this disease is suddenly skyrocketing in young people one of the leading hypotheses for why this might be happening is obesity, but i have to say that that does not explain the vast majority of the patients that we are seeing in our clinic, most of whom have a normal body weight theyre exercising, they eat a healthy diet it is not the complete explanation at all reporter thats got to be one of the major mysteries in medicine right now i would think. It is the one question in Cancer Research that honestly keeps me up at night reporter April Mcdonald is part of the mystery. The michigan mother was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at age 43 she had no symptoms up until she had symptoms she had a normal life, and then she started having stomach problems, blood in the stool went to the doctor had a colonoscopy and the rest is history. Reporter april fought the disease for seven years, dedicating her time to raising awareness and talking about a cancer that so many people just dont want to talk about but two years ago she lost that battle after the cancer spread and treatments stopped working. She didnt want other people to go through that, didnt want other families to go through it. She wanted to get the word out there and prevent anybody else from having to go through this. Reporter for years, 50 was the recommended age to start getting coal lonoscopcolonoscop. In response the American Cancer Society lowered the screening guidelines to start at age 45. If we move the screening age to 45, are you fairly convinced that lives would be saved . I do think wed catch more young onset Colorectal Cancers at an earlier stage. Reporter a new study found that screening at age 45 could identify 30,000 cases of cancer, 11,000 deaths could be prevented. But most Insurance Companies still wont cover the cost of screening before age 50, and patients are being forced to pay outofpocket. The u. S. Preventive Services Task force, which sets guidelines followed by most Insurance Companies, says ther isnt enough evidence to lower the screening age. What would have happened had you waited until you were 50 to get that colonoscopy i dont know if id be sitting here talking to you. Reporter diagnosed at age 49, jims doctors found the tumor the size of a baseball he now wonders if he was screened just four years earlier, would his prognosis be different . Would it have been stage two instead of three would it have been stage one would it have just been a polyp that was caught in the screening and zapped, never gave another thought to reporter now age 53, the massachusetts father is hoping that his story helps shape policy that he believes could save lives its too late to change the start of my battle, but we can certainly change the start of other peoples were seeing positive progress the research is changing every day. I think the work theyre doing here will have a very positive effect on people like me so, you know, i rarely go a couple days without someone emailing or stopping me on the street to ask about my brother who was diagnosed three years ago, stage four. He got some good news yesterday. He still goes back to md anderson for treatment with the Wonderful Team there got some good news yesterday, so we continue to fight that fight. He wants i said, hey, do you want me to pass along a message from you to folks watching he said, yes, listen to your body and get screened. Get screened why not he was he is so young to have this happen. How old is he diagnosed at 40 diagnosed at 39 wow yeah. So much talk about the colonoscopy screening process. Im 46 when they lowered it to 45, i went and did it. For anyone freaking out about doing it, its no big deal at all, if thats preventing you, much like going to the dentist, you keep putting it off. Just go. If it is a polyp, they deal with it right then and there. 90 of Colorectal Cancer when its caught early, no issue. When i was all done, i was like, oh my gosh, i cant believe i made such a big deal about the prep for that. Going and doing it so relieved i had done it.
