Dramatic upswing in cases that makes it sound like holy cow is this thing spiking. But the whole beginning of the curve is artificial because we havent been testing. We know this is going to happen. The cases will go up. Thats why we need to do all these precautionary things. Before you kick me out i just want to say i appreciated your conversation today. What youre doing for your kids, your floamily, your mom. Youre a good man. Thats all i have to say. In this crisis. Youre a good friend. Were all doing what we can. And a big part of that is staying away from everybody else. But like that guy mignano you had on and his partner babu, in the worst of times we will see the best of people. And stop being jealous of your brother. Hes doing a good job. Take it away. I am so proud. I am so proud. As long as he looks the way he does ill never be jealous of him a day in my life. No, hes doing great. So are you. Dlemon, thank you. Ill see you later. Hello, everybody. I am chris cuomo and welcome to a special midnight supersized edition of prime time. Heres the latest. Dont be surprised. All 50 states are now in the corona crisis together. We knew it would be this way. We know it is spreading quickly. Thats what it does. Spreads like a common cold. Tips like pneumonia. And we also know if people dont surrender the me to the we and stay home it will get overwhelming soon. Most pressing, we know now most states dont have the capacity to treat the cases expected. They know that. What is the white house doing about it . Big question. Were also going to get insight tonight from doctors whove been treating coronavirus patients. Whats it like . What are they seeing firsthand . What is the experience for people who get sick . Young, old, compromised. Does the government seem to get the reality theyre seeing . How . How not . And help may soon be on the way economically. But when . Is it nufr . Is it a part of a bigger plan . My friends, we know the questions. We have to wait on the answers. But heres what we know. We either get through it together or not at all. So what do you say . Lets get after it. West virginia was the lone holdout. Now they are the 50th and final state to report a coronavirus case within their borders. Now, what does perspective demand . Of course it was going to be everywhere. Its spreading through communities. We still have a very low death toll. Now, that number, we can be basically sure of. Are people dying of other complications that arent being put in the mix . We dont have real reason to be suspicious of that. But we know the case number has to be very, very low. Why . They havent been testing. We are far beyond the point of contact tracing. Its community spread. So look, as more tests come available, what are you going to see . Exponential growth in cases. Why isnt that why arent i more scared . First of all, this is not the plague. Okay . And second of all, you know what youre going to see with these huge numbers . The huge index of recoveries. 80 is the expected percentage. And weve been seeing that. In other places and here. People get better. Some are even asymptomatic. Okay . Now, on the other side of the country from West Virginia were having one of the most vast american experiments going under way to slow down the spread. Talking about california. Shelter in place. Very extreme. What does it mean . How is it being observed . Nick watt has the very latest from coast to coast. Confirmed cases now in all 50 states. More than 100 dead nationwide. Unprecedented times. Unprecedented measures. The president also has us inventorying what you all would understand as field hospitals or mash hospitals that can be deployed very quickly. Reporter two Navy Hospital ships could soon be deployed, defense officials tell cnn. Theres a Federal Reserve of medical supplies, which is really our last best hope. You cant buy a ventilator, which is very important because most of these people have respiratory illnesses. Were shopping for respirators all around globe. Reporter federal officials warn there arent enough gowns, gloves, and masks stockpiled. We would urge Construction Companies to donate their inventory of n95 masks to your local hospital. Reporter in San Franciscos bay area 7 million woke to a draconian dawn. Now allowed out only for essential needs. Three neighboring counties, nearly another million people, will join that lockdown tomorrow night. Tuesday afternoon new york citys mayor said he might issue a similar order within 48 hours. New yorkers should be prepared right now for the possibility of a shelter in place order. Reporter new yorks governor not so keen. Ill stay with my sister in west xhifrp dont think you can do a policy like that just in one part of the state. So i dont think it works. Reporter brooklyns d. A. Has stopped prosecuting lowlevel offense thats dont jeopardize public safety. The Brooklyn Nets star kevin durant announced hes now tested positive. On tuesday while touting a 1 trillion economic stimulus plan the secretary of the treasury reportedly warned republican lawmakers that without intervention this virus could have upped the Unemployment Rate to a staggering 20 . Nationwide a new normal continues to unfold. Uber and lyft have stopped all pool and shared rides. In vegas the palazzo and the venetian now closing until at least april 1st. The Airlines Taking a hit. Nearly a million fewer passengers in one day compared to a year ago. This is worse than 9 11. For the Airline Industry they are almost ground to a halt. Reporter meanwhile, amazon is hiring another 100,000 workers to meet Online Shopping demand. And late in the day a pretty stunning anounsment from Orange County. Orange county home to nearly 3 million people, just south of los angeles. They Just Announced they are banning all public and private gatherings, no matter how many people are at them. They are telling everybody to stay six feet away from anybody who is not a family member. So all eyes will be on california, on Orange County and on San Francisco to see if people really do obey these new measures to try and keep us all apart. Chris . All right, nick watt. Thank you very much. Appreciate the storytelling here, keeping us up to date. What an interesting question were facing, huh . Do you care enough about anybody else to do what youre being asked to do. Ill remind you, you see it all over the internet. A generation ago people lined up, lied up about their age, lied about their health, in order to serve this country and go aaway to tell for years to dpiet i awor fight a world war, never knowing if theyre coming home. Youre being asked to sit home and sit on a couch, which most of us do any chance we get. And its a hard call . Come on. And now heres the good news. You may have some time to think about this. Because we dont know whats going to happen. All we know is if we dont try weve got big trouble. Dont listen to me. Listen to the man at the top, dr. Anthony fauci. It probably would be several weeks and maybe longer before we know whether were having an effect. Now, look, why does he have to pick his words and speculate . Because the man standing next to him, also known as the president of the United States, says oh, were counting down, it was 15 25 days, now were at 14, then it will be 13 and were done. I dont know why hes saying that. We dont know how long this is going to take. Look at the uk. Everybody says why dont we do what theyre dg, get some herd immunity to this, let it just go everywhere, dont close anything down . Because of how many people they would have die. And once they started listening to science they are not doing that anymore. The whole point is to try to preserve us from pain. So whats the biggest part of our struggle . Getting you and me to realize its real, its not political. I know trump told you it was a hoax. He was lying. He does not say that anymore. But when you see scenes like this in San Francisco, this is shelter in place . This is trying to do your best . To not be around people. My next guest actually helped write the book on fighting pandemics in this country when he was secretary of hhs, health and human services. Mike levitt. Thank you very much. Good to have you. I see that you are doing what we should be doing. Youre staying put in place at home. Now, first question, or lets do it a little bit as dialogue. I will play the suspicious american. You people overplay everything. Especially you guys in the Public Health sector. You exaggerate curves. You exaggerate things for effect. And now youre shutting down the any and you want me to hide from something thats basically a bad case of the flu. Why . Well, chris, its because pandemics happen. Theyre a biologic fact. Theyre a part of history. And when they do they reshape the economics, politics, and sociology across the world. The problem is they happen far enough apart that one generation forgets. And were at the place now where our generation is having this experience. And i must say i think as a culture we have the best chance in Human History to avoid the catastrophe that has befallen other generations before because of the technology we have, the communications have, and the capacity to understand and to know about what is about to hit the United States. So you have the can versus the should. Right . Or the can versus the will. Youre right. We have technology to communicate information and to stay remote and yet still stay in touch. Right . Virtually we can still do what we want to do, even if physically were in one place. In fact, weve worked very hard to get to this place, have we not . But then you get the will, the should. People are selfish. And were seeing that americans are surprising ly fragile also. One person goes out to buy a lot of toilet paper, next thing you know theres none left in a lot of Population Centers. How do you deal with the will and generating the collective conscious ne consciousness to do this . Part of this is human nature. We have to acknowledge that there has been skepticism about this. The problem is that anything you say before a pandemic actually happens seems alarmist. After it begins to unfold anything you said or anything thats been done seems inadequate. And thats the phase were in right now. There are a lot of people out shopping in line tonight who wish theyd have done it a couple weeks ago, but they are in fact beginning to comport with the rules. I think whats happening in this country is remarkable. Shutting down entire sports leagues, standing aside from traditions and weddings and graduations and people coming together to do it. Are they all doing it . In the sense of is anybody pleased about this . Absolutely not. But were doing a hard thing, and we need to acknowledge that this is historic and we can make a difference thats never happened in Human History before. Now, first of all, one of the reasons i was excited to have you on the show tonight is my director sent you, elie sent you a quote, and i love that quote. Anything you do before a pandemic is seen as alarmist. Anything you do after a pandemic is seen as inadequate. That is so true. And we will see that even here because we dont have enough collective buyin. Yet im intrigued by what you say about what were pulling off. How are we doing . Well, as tony fauci said, we wont know with certainty for a while. But were entering a very crucial twoweek period where we have a chance to flatten this curve. Why two weeks . We do that. We simply are not going to have enough ventilatorventilators. Were not going to have enough capacity if we allow this virus to take the natural course that it will. Were at war with a virus, and we can only win this war collectively. But we can win it. And i think over the course of the next two weeks were going to have to all do our part. And theres something for everyone to do. Every family needs a pandemic plan. Every city, county, church, college, school, businesses. We all have a role here. The thing thats unique about a pandemic is that it is so local. Right. Anyone who believes that the federal government can come riding to its rescue in a pandemic will be tragically disappointed. Not because its just impossible for the federal government to pry it everywhere. Its uniquely a local emergency. Understood and agreed. Two quick questions. One, why two weeks . If youre in a real war and you dont know how long it takes and really your best defense is staying apart so that people who are sick resolve their case without spreading it to someone else, why two weeks . And while i agree, it cant be all about the federal government, especially not in this particular administration in terms of what theyre set up to do well, but the idea of using the military and the corps of engineers to build temporary capacity seems to be a nobrainer but its not happening. So why two weeks and why isnt the military, specifically the corps of engineers, everywhere in the Population Centers where theyre saying we dont have capacity, helping . So lets start with why two weeks. Most of what with know about pandemics comes from studying the past. Looking at the history of previous viruses that have terrorized the world. And one thing we know is that left to their own device there will be this spike where over the course of time it will be like a hockey stick, and its about six weeks long if left to its own device. And it very rapidly outstrips the capacity. The beginning of that peak is a twoweek period, two to three weeks, if we can keep it from spiking. Thats the reason. Now, in terms of the federal government, look, the federal government has a Critical Role here. Vaccines being able to help state and local governments with money. They do have military assets that can be deployed. We have a lot of assets. And every it ought to be all hands on deck here. And i think in time as this begins to be deployed it can be. One thing i will say, that when we were developing the initial pandemic plan one of the things we had to be conscious of is that we do have National Defense interests going on at the same time. We this would be a time when a sinister enemy could attack and make things very difficult. And so we have to be doing more than one thing at a time. And that is not the only reason. Im not suggesting thats the reason that they havent deployed them in that way, but it is another consideration. Secretary mike leavitt, thank you very much. Appreciate the perspective. Thank you, chris. Lets take this discussion to a doctor who knows firsthand the capacity crisis at play. Now, her perspective. She treated the very first coro coronavirus patient in america. Shes now arming patients with the knowledge but also the tools to care for themselves if there isnt enough room and resources, aka capacity. What a great idea. Lets get inside it. Next. , Digital Transformation never stops.

I didnt do it. 1 stain and odor fighter, 1 trusted. Its got to be tide. Dad, im scared. Its only human to care for those we love. And also help light their way. Its why last year chevron invested over 10 billion to bring affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy to america. Its interesting. Its been two months since we treated the first coronavirus patient. Does it feel like its been two months . And now that weve seen more than 6,000 cases, and i keep telling you, i dont buy that number, i think its way low, because we werent testing. But doctors, to be sure, are fighting an uphill battle. We know theres not enough tests, we havent been testing, which is why i dont trust the number. But more importantly we know we dont have resources even for the cases we do know and we expect. People are looking for other ways to help. One such person is dr. Amy compton phillips. She actually treated that first patient and joins us now. How are you doing, doc . Im doing great. Thanks, chris. So lets deal with a couple of different points of paranoia. First one is if you get coronavirus thats it, youre going to be lucky to make it out, it is a painful and slow demise. What have you seen in terms because you see online, you see how afraid Young Healthy people are about this. And whats the reality . So the reality is that 4 out of 5 people are perfectly fine. Its like they get a bad cold or they get a mild flu and they get over it and they keep going about their lives. But about 20 , which is a lot of people, get bad enough that they end up in the hospital and have to receive care there. And about 5 of those people end up actually in the icu. And so pretty severely ill. And then you have what we believe will be the mortality rate but within that number so not only do you have about 98 of the people survive this but the people that wind up in that margin that god forbid dont you have very special traits. Usually elderly or compromised. Unless we screw up capacity to a place where we start having all these unintended consequences. And thats where your second area of brilliance comes in. You know capacitys not going to be met. You hear people like my brother say, the governor of new york, i cant meet it, i cant build it fast enough, i cant source it fast enough, i cant find the equipment, its not going to happen. You found a potential solution. How some. So were trying really hard to do several things. Because one, we know exactly like your brothers saying, we dont have the capacity in our hospitals and we dont have the equipment to give our own caregivers, our own nurses and doctors safe and healthy. We dont have the ppe, the masks and gowns to keep people safe. So when he first started seeing this we said weve got to do something different, this is the 20th century we dont have to treat this like the spanish flu in 2018, what can we do thats different . Were doing something different. One is if youre worried about your symptoms, we have a symptom checker, a chat bot online that you can go in and see whether or not you maybe need help. If you triage out that you need help, well, you can click on it and do actually a virtual visit. And so we can actually have a caregiver and a patient chat and see whether or not you need something more. If you need testing we can then send you for drivethru testing. And if it seems like you have the symptoms consistent with the germ, because we dont get test results back for a while now, its like three to fourday turnaround time, well actually send you home with an oxygen sensor and a thermometer and be able to monitor you from a bank of nurses watching monitors in your own home so you dont have to be admitted to the hospital. How many people can you watch . Well, at the moment were watching about 100 and we think we can do about 4,000. 4,000. And then if somebody gets into a place where they are severe enough to have to come in now, where do you see this as help me understand how this can change the face of dealing with the flow. Well, so with the flow you probably wouldnt need it. But the thing thats a little different about covid19 is that pneumonia, that you can be just tooling along doing okay and all of a sudden crash, get much worse. And the symptom of that is the increasing shortness of breath, particularly when you move around, and the way you can diagnose it just like you often dont know you have high Blood Pressure unless you take your Blood Pressure, some people dont realize their oxygen levels starting to fall unless they measure it. So that oxygen sensor can start letting people know like mm, we dont want you to fall off the cliff, we want you to come in when youre still like this but were seeing some signs of it going downhill. Is the software adaptable to other states or do you have a special system . It is something that could be done anywhere. So its just really setting up the infrastructure to allow for it. Im going to spread the message. Were going to do it online. I know youve been doing some media but were going to magnify it. Dr. Amy comptonphillips. You are someone we call an american, someone helping us figure out how to make it through. God bless and you thank you for using your brain and your skills for helping us get better. Thank you so much, chris. Boy oh boy, i told you, in the worst of times youre going to see the best of us come out. What an innovative idea. 4,000 people they can monitor at one time. Imagine what that will do to capacity. Now, it terms of measuring the effect, got to look at the markets. They bounced back. Why . They like that a lot of moneys going to be thrown at people in america. Why . Because it makes a recession less likely. Why . It gets complicated. So were going to talk to somebody who understands the economics inside out. What are we doing that will make the economy worse . What will it take for it to be better . How long between the two . Next. [ singing indistinctly ] ladies, my friends and i are having a debate. I have a back rash. Alright. Whoa, mara. I laugh like this. [ laughs obnoxiously ] its just not my scene. I couldnt help but over do you like insurance . I love insurance. Did you know you can save money bundling home and auto with progressive, and renters can bundle, too . I know, right . [ laughs ] [ singing continues ] whyd you stop . I was listening. [ microphone feedback ] with a relaxing commute. A nice long lunch. And how about those skyscrapers . Yep it doesnt get much better than this. Run with us on a john deere gator. Because if the path to success was easy, it wouldnt be nearly as much fun. Nothing runs like a deere. Test drive a gator uv today. Finding the right words can be tough. N it comes to autism, finding understanding doesnt have to be. Together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. Go to autismspeaks. Org howling wind howling wind when you rent from national. Its kind of like playing your own version of best ball. Because here, you can choose any car in the aisle, even if its a better car class than the one you reserved. So no matter what, youre guaranteed to have a perfect drive. [laughter] vo go national. Go like a pro. See what i did there . I had this hundred thousand dollar student debt. Two hundred and twentyfive thousand dollars in debt. Ah, sofi literally changed my life. It was the easiest application process. I refinanced with sofi and was able to cut my Interest Rate by 40 . Student loans dont have to take over for the rest of your life. Thank you for allowing me to get my money right. Its more than just fast. It keeps all your devices running smoothly.

Even that that petcamera thingy. [ whines ] can your internet do that . Xfinity xfi can because its. Simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ] quick thing. When i was just talking to that doctor whos spending all this time trying to figure out how to help the rest of us, she said shes starting to work with her own people in the hospital. Guess on what . Making their own masks. Thats how short supply is. Maybe were going to have people out there who know how to do this and were going to have to teach each other how to make masks. Im going to find out more about it. Im going to get you the information. You want a way to help . Thats a way. Now, whats another way to help . The federal government says cutting a check for every american. Its no longer a fringe idea. Its front and center because of this crisis. What would it mean . So right now theres a 1 trillion, with a t, dollar bailout on the table. Thats what the treasury secretary wants. It would be bigger than any other bailout weve ever seen in american history. Two, on the chart that youre going to see, came when my next guest was the director of the National Economic council. Okay . Gene sperling, i know him very well, actually for most of my life. He used to work with my father. He went on to much bigger things as a big shot in the obama administration. Gino, its always great to see you. First of all, lets deal with the big macro on this before we get into more of the details of the plan. I dont understand, many will say, why all this money . Why does this have to be so big . Just dont shut things down. You guys are forcing us into a recession. Well, because, chris, i mean, this is the unfortunate news. This is the worst pullback in economic spending and Economic Activity weve seen in our lives and maybe since the great depression. And think about it. When weve had downturns before recessions, yeah, there were people hurting . People lost their jobs, some people lost their raises, some people feared they would be next. But a whole lot of other people went on spending, traveling, doing all the things. Weve never seen a moment in our lives where every Single Person in our country is pulling back and we are just absolutely crowsing down entire shops and industries. My heart bleeds so much for the people, the waitresses, the waiters, the people in the Food Industry and other Service Industry who are just losing their job by government mandate, no fault of their own. So youve got a dramatic fall in Economic Activity. But as youve talked about on this show often, as you were talking about with your brother last night, you know, this is not a market issue. This is a real economy issue affected by a health care crisis. If you dont solve the health care crisis, if you dont flatten the curve, if you dont have the type of testing that provides certainty, you know, the economic input you can put in, it can cushion the blow but it cannot solve it, it cannot give the confidence that we know where the bottom is or how long this lasts. The uk went away from what they were going to do, but they said look, lets go for herd immunity here. And yeah, there are going to be more casualties but you know what . That happens, it will shorten the duration, so we wont have that kind of economic pain. What about that kind of calculation . Maybe the government has gone too far with this. Maybe were doing too much and were hurting ourselves too much economically for the benefit it will do to us in terms of fighting the pandemic. You know, im going to listen to the experts on this as i think we all should. But i think we as a people have the capacity to take this on. But we need to understand, the market did respond well to an idea that i agree with, lots of people agree with, give a payment to everybody, 1,000, 2,000. Its good for demand. It gets Economic Activity going. But, and i cannot express this enough yeah. And thats what i cannot stress enough. This is one tool. This has to be combined with a major package that goes to our for a health care surge, to empowering state and local leaders to deal with the problems. And i want to make one point in particular. Which is if you do not target and focus on the most hardhit americans nothing is going to work including these payments. Take somebody who loses their job for 12, 16 weeks. A single payment isnt going to help them pay the rent. We need to take some dramatic efforts. Unemployment insurance. Right now its got huge holes in our country. If youre a gig worker, if youre a Domestic Worker you often dont qualify. When you do qualify its going to be for a number of weeks. You get 33 , 40 of your wages. We need to now make clear its an emergency, its going to last as long as you need it, instead of 30 , 40 , 50 of your wages it should be more 100 of how do you pay . You know what . We pay for it. How . We dont worry about the deficit. You just the United StatesCongress Puts it out there. Because if you dont spend this money now to help these people its the right thing to do on the grounds of compassion because we love each other and we care about our neighbors, but these are the people that are hurt the most. If we help them, if we do the right thing, theyre the ones that are going to spend the most. Theyre the ones that are going to be able to make the rent. And we have to do more. We may have to forgive Student Loans for a period of time. We need a moratorium on evictions. This is big. This could be the worst threat we go face for a while since the great depression. And we better be thinking big and the fullness of america of what we can do economically not just to spur demand by sending out checks, by i think is an important tool, but by unemployment insurance. Paid sick leave. Expanding medicaid. Housing relief. Moratorium on evictions. If we dont do this type of bigger things, this needs to be part of the congressional package, and i encourage every member of congress out there. Its good youre doing the paychecks. Good. But if you dont come with a broad, bold plan on unemployment insurance, on paid sick leave, on medicaid, on helping state and local governments, its not going to be enough. All right. Hopefully its part of the lesson of 2008 also. You know, you shored up the markets. That was good. But there was that discussion about, well, what about the little guys . What about the people who own the house snshouses . What about whats going on with them . It seemed to be weighted in one direction. Hopefully its different. And gene, let me put a request in, make it harder for you to say no because its national television. But as we learn more about what theyre going to do i need your help. I need you to explain it to the american people, why this makes sense, why its worth it, why its enough, why its not enough. There are going to be a lot of questions because we dont even know whats going to hit us yet and thats what makes this so different. In 2008 you knew what it was. Every time something happened everything was a reaction to it. This hasnt even really hit us yet in terms of the real pain that is probably weeks to come, hopefully wont be as bad as we suspect. Gene sperling, thank you for putting your brain and your heart to this situation. Thank you. Appreciate it. Look, the virus is affecting everything. Its unbelievable. It is amazing. It is fantastical. None of us can believe this is happening right now. On any level. It is bizarre. Im with you. And it hasnt even really happened yet, and yet all these things are happening. I get it. Youre going to see it in our politics also. Ohio didnt vote this third super tuesday. Three other states did. Big wins for joe biden. But what does coronavirus mean for the election . You know you werent paying attention to it tonight like you were last week. Everything is changed. What will it mean for the race . Lets go live to washington and talk about it, next. Art investi . Audreys expecting. Twins wed be closer to the twins. Change in plans. At fidelity, a change in plans is always part of the plan. And the 2020 census is how that promise is kept. It informs where billions in funding will be spent on programs that touch us all. Shape your future. Start here. Complete the census at 2020census. Gov. Sfinding the right words can be tough. N it comes to autism, finding understanding doesnt have to be. Together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum. Go to autismspeaks. Org all right. A quick tally on tonight. Biden 3, sanders 0. The gap in florida was as big as assumed for the vice president. On super tuesday 3, well call it. Lets get to cnbc Phil Mattingly in the cnn election center. Once again, i was on the wrong side of wagers about what the spread would be in florida. I didnt think it would be as big as we saw, but it was about 40 points. Whats the story of the night . Yeah, and i think that actually gets to the story of the night. Its not just that joe biden won all three contests tonight, sweeping florida, illinois and arizona. Its how he won them. And it really kind of mimics what weve seen over the course of the last three weeks. Take a look at florida. As you noted the expectation was that joe biden would win florida and win florida comfortable by vy. But look at this map. Look at the dark blue. Thats all joe biden blue, joe biden winning every single county in the state of florida. Perhaps more impressive was what he did in illinois. I want to flip back to 2016, show you how Bernie Sanders did. A very close race with hillary clinton. Take a look at all this light blue. Thats Bernie Sanders winning counties. Not enough to actually win the state, win the primary, but doing well enough to make a mark. Now flip it this time around. Bernie sanders only won one county in the state. Obviously the day of vote in illinois was down because of obvious issues that are going on but it underscores how joe biden has really brought the coalition together. Flip over to arizona as well. And another very big victory for joe biden. 60,000 votes ahead with about 70 reporting. I think chris when you look at tonight its just what weve seen over the course of the last three weeks, joe biden is in a place now, the party is in a place now, the primary is in a place now where it has become his race. Hes become by far the prohibitive favorite. In every single primary that weve looked at over the course of the last three weeks. Has more or less borne that out. Two new prohibitions. One, turnout. What did we see tonight . It was down a little bit, but in this mood, we dont know what its going to be like in november. But if there is lower turnout is it easy enough to say that even if biden gets the ticket that has to help the president . Yeah, i think thats the when you talk to democratic sources, when you talk to Democratic Campaign operatives, thats what theyre concerned about. I think you talk to Trump Officials and they feel like their energy, their base, theyve driven turnout in places, at least in 2016, that perhaps they hadnt seen before. I think the interesting thing about tonight, particularly given everything thats going on in the country, is in two of the states, in arizona and in florida at least what weve seen so far, because of the early vote, turnout is actually up in the primary. But thats because of the early vote. And i think in illinois its probably a better representation of where things are today, where turnout was down fairly dramatically. At least what weve seen to this point based on in person. I think the interesting thing Going Forward is going to be overt course of the last several weeks youve seen turnout really move up for joe biden, which wasnt the expectation. That was the Bernie Sanders expectation. And can that be maintained . I think the other thing we all have to wonder right now is is there going to be another primary vote anytime soon . At least one where theres in person vogt. Weve already seen georgia was supposed to be the next one up. Theyve already moved their primary. Other states have started tore move their primary as well. Will this be the last night we can talk about this for the time being . That and what Bernie Sanders decides to do next kind of the Big Questions outstanding. Because were talking about Bernie Sanders, look at pledged delegates right now. Joe biden opening up a 300 delegate lead. Think about where we were at the end of february to where we are now. Joe biden has this on lock for all intents and purposes and the question now becomes whats Bernie Sanders going to do . I should be standing next to you right now, talking my head off in every commercial break about 100 different things. But im here because our country has changed. And what is your best sense of how coronavirus is going to shape the story of the election . Look, i think its anecdotal because its arly. Think of how fast things have changed. Just seven days there were still sports being played in the United States of america. Now everythings shut down. Every citys shut down. The speed by which this has all occurred is head spinning and i think politically people are still trying to figure things out. I think one of the things when you talk to democrats, when you talk to the biden campaign, they say this is his moment because this is who hes pledged to be. He isnt trying to remake entire systems because people in this moment of crisis dont necessarily want their entire systems remade. They want to be able to leave their house. They want to be able to go to restaurants. They want to have a guy in the office who can do it on day one. So they feel like this tracks with what joe bidens message has been. Whether that ends up being the case well have to wait and see in the months ahead. It does remind me of when it was obama, and may he rest in peace mccain. And when it was a National Security contest, mccain was giving obama all he could handle and he said look, im not an economic guy but if you want to stay safe im your guy. And all of a sudden it flipped to that economic crisis and the race changed. I wonder if this one plays that way as well. Phil mattingly, thank you for the brilliance as always.

I can worry about it, or doe. Something about it. Garlique helps maintain healthy cholesterol naturally, and its odorfree, and pharmacist recommended. Garlique hospitals are overwhelmed already. So, how do we handle whats to come . Chief dr. Sanjay gupta. Were at a critical inflection point. We have the same number of cases now that italy had two weeks ago. And we have a choice to make. This is the era of coronavirus. Hospitals overcrowded in places like china and italy, stretches resources thin and putting patients at risk. And the concern is that in a matter of weeks, that could become the United States. We are so incredibly underprepared for a major onslaught of hospitals which is inevitable. I think we have to look at italy and see what happened to them and i think were actually in worse shape. We dont have enough hospital beds. We dont have enough icu beds. Even in a moderate outbreak, Health Officials estimate 200,000 americans will need intensive care and 64,000 will need breathing machines or ventilators. But the problem is the United States has less than 100,000 icu beds and only 62,000 full feature ventilators on hand with an additional 8,900 in stock pile. Since were still in flu season, many of those are already in use. By the way, even if we had the 100,000 plus ventilators we need, we dont have the staff to operate them. So, hospitals are bracing for a rush of patients, trying to free up as much space as possible. That means getting patients who are well enough out of the icu and cancelling all elective operations. We just have to make this a standard across the board. In some cases people are trying to prevent patients who are well enough from coming to the emergency room in the first place building tents to triage and treat coronavirus patients using telehealth so people can call in from home and building up their Testing Capacity in some cases without people even having to step out of their cars. But all of this hinges on having enough supplies which means hospitals are now rationing what they had. My hospital you could use what you needed to use. Thats changed. Thats right. Weve had to remove many of these items from the shelves. Most people who get infected with the Novel Coronavirus wont need to be hospitalized. But for a small percentage of patients, the virus can be deadly. Weve had everyone ranging from just needing supplemental oxygen through their nose all the way through people who are in shock and need to be on 100 oxygen on a ventilator in the icu. When that happens, hospitals can quickly run out of space and supplies. And if staff dont have protective gear, they may run out of nurses and doctors as well. If this is infecting the entire country, the world, are we ready . Do we have what we need . I think were as ready as we can. Its hard to say whether or not we have enough equipment and we have what we need. I think there are concerns, legitimate concerns as a station if were ready to handle such an enormous pandemic.
