T will we see plus, we look at the two president ialthe campaign. For all of you watching, welcome to world news america. Donald trump has declared a National Emergency over the coronavirus. Cases in the United States have climbed past 1800 and 41 people have god, but the real number is have died,rger but the real number is likely much larger. For state do hospitals and conditions operate. There is a whole slew of. Ifferent methods they are topping up the. Etroleum they may consider including the United Kingdom in the travel ban tonight. To aordinarily, he seemed position where he most likely would have a test. He said they are just working out a schedule for that. The president will have a test when two weeks ago when he said it is a hoax. Even in the press conference, we saw them shaking hands with some. F the officials at think a lot of people would be surprised. The advice is very clear that you should not do that. Handsrly wash your own and in some cases extraordinary. He is a sup admitted german folk. He said that himself in the past. Questionsting promising up to 5 million test. Lab core and quest effectively does all the testing. Because this is america, there will be drivethrough testing. You. Ank experts predict the worst of the has yet tothe virus come. Hospitals and medical officials are trying your best to prepare. I spoke with an emergency physician at that George Washington university. She previously served as Health Commissioner for the city of baltimore. President trump said they will have half additional nine test next week. Are you relieved to hear that . Nownrelieved because right we do not have nearly enough and we are weeks, if not a whole month behind. We know that people can be spreading the disease will have mild symptoms or wont notice at havend clinicians dont test kits. Patients are coming in requesting testing. We could the missing hundreds if not thousands around the u. S. I think the last few days thisshown people just how virus can be. And on i want you expect it to last . Many people are wondering about of the longterm. We have entered a new phase in the u. S. Where people are going to challenging times. It is disruptive to have all these events being canceled. Knowt think any experts how long does the last because we dont know the extent of the problem, but we know that things will get a lot worse know befory chance of getting it of a getting better. There is Community Spread throughout the u. S. , we just dont know how bad it is, but if we look at the expense of china and south korea, the big escalation of cases will be coming up. The hospitals have been overwhelmed. Are these hospitals in the United States prepared . If we have a mild outbreak we will probably be fine, but if we have even a moderately sized outbreak, we will be completely overwhelmed and that is because even in a moderate outbreak will need Something Like 200,000 intensive care beds. Most of the beds are already occupied with other patients and so we could be facing a worstcase scenario were patients could get sick at the same time and we dont have enough units to be able to treat all of these and if that were to happen, we would have to ration care and doctors and nurses with the fighting who gets the precious resources. That is why we have to do everything we can to reduce the rate of transmission so people dont get sick at the same time. Thank you so much for your insight. This week, the stock market had one of its roughest weeks in decades. The dow jones fell by more than 10 in the s p is nasdaq and nasdaq climbed as well. Michellei spoke to from the new york stock exchange. When the president spoke, the markets did not react calmly to send this. How did they reactivate . On in theied direction pretty much until. Rading ended the session the volatility is worth reminding people that it goes both ways. The trading end of session, we saw the biggest jump since the back of 2008. All is driven by the hope that more help is on the way. You have hope that congress will soon come up with a stimulus plan. Each hour brings new headlines and that seems to move market. Part of the worry is no one knows how long businesses will be impacted. Likelihood think the is of a recession in the country . Several majorn sporting events being canceled. Think about what that means for parking, concessions come up all these people are suddenly sent home and that has a real economic impact. The last few weeks, trying to figure out what the effect will be on companies, we dont yet know since we are in some ways at the beginning of this. We dont know how long this will last, so that is why we continue to expect the stock market rise. That once we hope are through this will be quick. Am sure we will speak with you as the days and weeks go on. More than 27 million americans live without Health Insurance in may opt out of testing over concerns of cost. You have the potential for spread of the virus greatly. Clinic is a drop in the aean, trying to help at least few of the many millions of americans who cannot Access Health care. Years and decades we have been ok. We are going to pay the Public Health price because even individuals without access to care are going to spread the disease more frequently. Ericans dont taking my children to see a physician, it is like 100 for each visit and for them to tummy me know, they cannot prescribe anything, go home and heal from that. People across the United States to do not have Health Insurance and even if they do they worry to see a doctor.
