And even just the materials that i need physically to take care of my patients. This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good saturday morning. Well talk about those short jags and the support in a amusement. I want to start with some hope fien in the fight against the coronavirus. The fda has approved a test that can give results in 15 minutes. The u. S. Is now the focal point of the pandemic with 101,000 reported cases, nearly 1600 americans have been killed by the coronavirus thus far. Lets talk about the shortages. One of the major hurdles to stopping the spread in the u. S. Officials in the emerging hot spots you see here chicago, detroit and new orleans, they say they do not have enough resources. Lets talk about the hospitals in new york because they are overwhelm. More than 44,000 cases have been reported there. The states governor warning they may be weeks away from hitting the peak. Lets start with cnns athena jones. Shes outside of new yorks elmhurst hospital. This week 13 patients died in just 24 hours there. Athena, good morning to you. Whats happening where you are. Describe as you said in your last report with us the epicenter of the epicenter. Reporter thats exactly what its been called. This is a hospital thats done a lot of coronavirus patients. In fact, you can already see a line beginning to form here over my shoulder, maybe a dozen or so people waiting in line to be tested. Some of them wearing masks. Mostly keeping that social distancing that everyone has been asked to do, six feet apart from one another. New york state accounts for almost half of the coronavirus cases in the entire country and new york city, of course, accounts for the vast majority of the cases in new york state. This hospital has seen overcrowding, quite frankly. We heard the report from that er doctor who shared some video with the New York Times last week, talking about the lack of supplies, talking about feeling like they dont that have weapons they need to go to war. What some doctors are describing as a war saying they dont have the ammunition they need. One physician inside this hospital said that theres so much crowding, so many patients, so many stretchers that they are lined up three deep and doctors can barely get across the room at times for instance to deal with a deteriorating patient. Folks, still officials are surging more supplies. They sent medical personnel and sending more supplies. So this is clearly a hospital thats very much on their radar. We understand that they are also going to begin to divert noncoronavirus patients to other hospitals. At least at this hospital this is just one view into whats going on around the entire city, hospitals being fwasd lack of what they need. So, i want to ask you about this. Some people are pretty hopeful. What have you learned regarding this fda approving this 15 minute test . What are experts saying about it . Well, first, this is a good thing. 15 mint point of care test, go to a medical professional, get this test and get results very quickly. Fda authorized it on an emergency basis which basically means that they believe it benefits outweigh its risks and the idea here is that the laboratory, abbott say it expects to deliver 50,000 tests per day beginning next week. But heres what experts are saying. Looking at the situation and what theyve been saying this week you still need protective gear, still need proper gloves, masks, gowns, etfs youre the medical professional taking that swab. So that hold up or that lack of supply, that shortage, severe shortage all across the country is going to possibly affect the ability to administer these tests. We hope so just so these medical personnel who are doing so much good work maybe can be morven in their own safety as well. Athena jones, so good to see you. Lets talk about this aid package. Largest in u. S. History. President trump signed this 2 trillion stimulus into law. Congress passed it yesterday after a few days of some hard fought negotiations. I want to thank republicans and democrats for coming together, setting aside their differences and putting america first. This legislation provides for direct payments to individuals and unprecedented support to Small Businesses. Well keep our Small Businesses strong and our big businesses strong and thats keeping our country strong and our jobs strong. So as far as the checks coming, if youre an individual who makes up to 75,000 a year, youll get 1,200. That will taper off up to 99. Married couple earning 150,000 a year youll get 2400. Also 500 per child. Now in a few hours the president is scheduled to leave the white house and travel to norfolk, virginia where a Navy Hospital ship will be departing from new york. Kristen holmes has more on the trip. Lets talk about his defense production act for the ventilators here because theres been a lot of back and forth on this defense production act. What are you hearing there this morning . Reporter after two weeks will he utilize the dp wont he, is he going to, has he already, it appears hes actually going to authorize the defense production act. Now lets talk about how we got here . Yesterday we heard an announcement from gm and a ventilator Company Announcing they would be working together to create ventilators en masse, using that technology at a facility in indiana, facility belonging to general motors. Hours later President Trump said he would use the defense production act to force gm to make the ventilators but its unclear exactly what is going to change from this announcement they had already made. The company said they are still going making same amount and the timeline is still the same. We have to keep one thing in mind. This comes after a week of intense scrutiny by the nations governors essentially begging for needed medical supplies saying they were only getting a fraction of what they requested. We know that new yorks governor, andrew cuomo, among others was pleading with President Trump to use the defense production act to get these states what they needed. Now, i do want to note one thing. One of the big things are these ventilators. Last night President Trump seem to cast doubt on the number of ventilators that cuomo said he needed. Take a listen. I think their estimates are high. I hope they are high. They could be extremely high. Were doing even hospitals based on pretty high estimates. Doing them anyway. If we do not need them that would be wonderful, we can help a lot of great people all over the world, we can help them live. But i think his estimates are going to be very high. Well see. Reporter of course we know its not just cuomo calling for these ventilators, medical professionals say they are very need in new york, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. But despite the fact these governors have expressed frustration with President Trump, americans as a whole are happy with his response. I want to pull up a poll here. This is a recent poll of President Trumps handling of coronavirus, an Approval Rating of 52 to disApproval Rating of 45 . Thats one part of the poll. His overall Approval Rating in general as president. Well pull that you want. This is the highest his rating has been since he took office. Youre look at a 47 Approval Rating, disapproval of 48 . President headed to norfolk. Tell us about trip. Reporter hes going off to see the uss ns comfort one of these giant medical ships as it leaves norfolk, virginia and heads to new york. This is the first time the president has left the white house after being hunkered down for two weeks. This ship will provide relief for these overwhelmed hospitals in new york. Its not going to see that huge number of coronavirus patients. Its actually there to offer leave in a different way, to see patients who are not coming in to be treated for coronavirus. It has doctors and nurses filled with medical supplies and supposed to alleviate what weve seen a lot of stress on the system particularly when it comes to term of the medical community. Thank you. During last nights cnn town hall on covid19, president ial candidate joe biden recommended a National Lockdown for several weeks. He also suggested social distancing guidelines need to be in place until june. Reporter hes currently leading the delegate count in the democrats nomination and on friday night information Vice President joe biden took part in a cnn town hall focused on the coronavirus pandemic and the response to it. The former Vice President saying that if he were president he would support a National Lockdown. He was also asked a question about freezing rent payments.

Reporter former Vice President biden talking about how hes been personally dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in his household. And hes saying advisors hes talking to currently think this could well go into late may early june but stress that nobody really knows right now for sure.

This promises provided results in less than 15 minutes. Federal Health Officials cleared the test for emergency use saying its benefits outweigh risks such as false positives or i was the. A doctor is with us an emergency physician in Staten Island in new york. First of all, thank you for everything you and your teams are doing. We cannot imagine what it is like for you as we hear your stories about the fear that a lot of you are feeling because you dont have enough resources. Are there enough resources where you are and how confident are you that you and your team are safe as you treat people . Thank you for having me on your show. It is very troubling the lack of personal protective equipment thats going on throughout the country and my heart goes out the all providers who have to endure this. Luckily in my institution we do have enough ppe. Doesnt mean we have a huge supply, that we can use it unintelligently. Were very careful with it. We have enough right now for our needs. Talk to me about this new fda test that will be able to give you some sort of results bin 15 minutes, how hopeful are you with the availability and the validity of the test . Thats hard to say because testing, a test thats created this quickly, its hard to know how well it will perform. Sometimes you have to do that work in the field. However, im happy that were going to have a rapid test. Having more numbers from an epidemiologic view to see how many people have the disease will be very helpful to the country to trap the disease and understand the true mortality or severity of the disease. To be honest from the emergency Medicine Point of view if i have a rapid test sometimes these rapid tests, sometimes they help me and sometimes they dont. In our department were seeing sick patients coming in with respiratory symptoms. Xrays look bad. Bilateral problems in their lungs. If we have the test or didnt have the test, if we recognize the patient, we can still treat them the same way. You say what is new that youve noticed recently the type of respiratory illness youre seeing that seems to be different, that the escalation of the distress that patients go through is different. How so . Yes. Thats right. So, in the Emergency Department right now what were seeing are patients who are coming in often very short breath, breathing fas fast. Often when we have these kinds of patients we can apply to them breathing adjunct like a facemask we can apply. A mask that you might use for sleep apnea. When you apply those masks we have predictable increase in improvement in the way that patient is getting oxygen in their blood. Were encountering two problems with these patients. Their blood oxygen level comes in low and it can dropoff quickly if we dont act fast. Number two, these devices we traditionally use, having trouble using them because they create dangerous aerosols when we use them and it increases the risk for much in the room or someone taking care of the patient. New say they create aerosols. Help us understand what that means. Sure, sure. So right now the common mode of transmission for the coronavirus, everyone is pretty sure its through droplet spread. Droplet is like a large, a large drop of water you might cough out. This might go six feet or so. Then it might dropoff on to the floor or clothing. Aerosol, however, is a much smaller particle. When someone coughs, or if they have a high flow of air traveling through their airway it can create very fine small particles less than five micros. When you use Something Like cpap, again these masks people might use for sleep apnea or other high flow oxygen devices, you can generate or a patient will generate these very small particles. Unlike a droplet that falls down quickly, the aerosol might float in the air for a longer per of time and travel some distance. Unclear how far in my travel. Its hard for me to say. Because they are so small it makes them more dangerous and more troubling. Doctor, i just cannot emphasize enough how much people are thinking of all of you. There are certainly prayers going up for all of you. Because you are doing the work that is most needed right now and we want you to be safe and confident in what youre doing so thank you again so much for sharing with us what youre dealing with and know that we are wishing you the very best. Thank you. Definitely. Victor . Still ahead, the coronavirus spreading stigma as well. Were talking in china, communities around the world, even here in the u. S. Theres concern that rhetoric is make people become the target of hate, like labelling covid19 the chinese virus. Its not racity at all. It comes from china. It comes from china. St at all. It comes from china. It comes from china. During an emergency, a Network Becomes a critical line of communication, connecting First Responders to technology, and to each other.

But theres one moment we want to you know. Its about states facing this critical supply of shortages. The president says governors are not doing enough and the reporter asked well what do you want these governors to do . The president says, be more appreciative. Watch. I think they should be more appreciative. When they are not prime ministerive they are not appreciative to army corps or fema. These people are working 24 hours a day. Mike pence, i dont think he sleeps any more. These are people that should be appreciated. He calls all the governors. I tell him. Im a different type of person. I say mike dont call the governor of washington. Youre wasting your time with him. Dont call the woman in michigan. Doesnt make any difference what happens. Governor of washington . I say, if they dont treat you right i dont call. The woman in michigan has a name. Its Gretchen Whitmer and said her state is not getting the help and Safety Supplies because shes been told products have to go the federal government first. When the federal government told us that we needed to go it ourselves we started procuring every item we could get our hands on. What ive gotten back is vendors with whom we have contracts are being told not to send stuff here to michigan. New York Attorney general launched a hotline this week for people to report hate crimes against asianamericans. President trump he also spoke out about the issue this week after referring to covid19 as the chinese virus several times. The president is now saying the Asian Community is very important to him, but heres the president s response when pressed for details on what hes doing to protect asianamericans. Whats the concrete measure youre taking to combat the hate crimes against asians . I dont know. Asianamericans in our country or doing fantastically well. Im very close to them as you know. They are doing fantastically well. I do want to put that statement out the social Media Statement because to me asianamericans are a great part of our country. With me now discuss, a woman who has family and friends that has been in lockdown in wuhan, china for two months now and a cnn contributor who says he was the target of antiasian hate earlier this week. Welcome to both of you. I want to talk i have a broader conversation. Let me start here with you and what you said that you experienced in your first breathing while asian encounter. Tell me about it. Yeah. It was actually a little shocking to me because i obviously have been followed the larger conversation around this, seeing it happen to other people, seeing instances that were much more dramatic and problematic than what i faced. Still definitely a surprise to encounter firsthand. I went out shopping. It was the first time i had gone out basically since the lockdown to pick up groceries. I was standing in line a long line in a supermarket separated by six feet per person, and a woman who came out of the store turned to me, shouted a profanity in my direction and when i looked up pulled down her mask and purposely coughed in my direction before walking away and getting into her car and driving off. I didnt even know how to process it. I couldnt respond until afterwards. And it took me a while to even recognize that i was the only asian person in line and that was the likely reason why this occurred. Its one of those did that just happen moments when it happens you dont expect it. Obviously the vitriol is disp k the world should be reaching out to wuhan not just in a humanitarian way, but to learn something. Yeah. Wuhan, my family and friends are all under lockdown, have been under lockdown for the past, more than two months now. People there need supports, not just aid support but emotional support. When you give people emotional support their immune system will go up and have a better chance in beating this virus. And thats why we have been working on this campaign and going around the world now to hopefully breach that gap to bringing these emotional supports for wuhan. Jeff, let me reach over to congress now. Theres this bill that condemns china for among other things its handling of covid19. You oppose the bill. 38 republican cosponsors. The only democratic cosponsor from massachusetts pulled his support. Why are you opposed to it . Its a lot of process of essentially putting what were seeing in individual incidents like i encountered that many other people are facing and putting it into policy, institutionalizing this calling out of china. I think weve seen historically consistently that when government leads people follow. And it inflames the feeling of hate, of xenophobia, of targeting towards people who look like they may be the soufrt disease and that includes people who are right here in the United States. You told one of my producers that theres fear and ignorance as well that is happening in asia that when they hear an italian accent or they see a person using your characterization that european looking, that people kind of recoil. Is there conversation happening in china much like the one were having this morning . Yeah, for sure. Theres actually regional discrimination, so to speak, as well thats going on inside china. If youre like me whose hometown is wuhan, if you speak with a wuhan accent you need to be very ware and need to be careful when walking on the streets in beijing and shanghai, for example. Not everyone is that understanding and not everyone is ready to greet and embrace a wuhaner. Its fascinating to see how all these hate and discrimination evolve through the course of this virus through the world because initially it was and still right now asian looking people than potentially people with italian accent or in asia if you see like you said, like i said earlier people with european looks that would bring out panic in some people. I dont personally think that race is the fundamental issue here. I think its fear and ignorance. Fear really is there to save and protect us. Ignorance is the problem. Ignorance is what causes to carry out irrational beharvey, carry out unhelpful behavior while everyone is dealing with this crisis together. So we really need to fight that ignorance and try to bridge, bridge that gap of ignorance and theres a lot of work to be done. Thank you both for being part of the conversation this morning. Stay healthy. Thank you. Still ahead were getting your questions about coronavirus answered. How long can the virus survive on surfaces . Are there new drug therapies that are working . We have an er doctor with us next. Stay close. Some of my best memories growing up were cooking with mom.

Now due to a lack of available tests we dont know how many more people are infected. That could change fda has approved a new test and it could give results in 15 minutes. With us now dr. Long an Emergency Room Physician and clinical assistant professor at the university of tennessee. Doctor, good morning to you. Whats your initial reaction to this fda authorization of this 15 minute test . Victor, good morning. Its very promissing to see this tests and other tests that got approval. I look forward to getting them in the Emergency Department. Thats what i care about. When will they be accessible. The other thing to tell people we dont know the exact accuracy of these tests. Most of them still can be 60 to 70 accurate. Even if you get a negative test if you have symptoms of covid i tell people to act like they have it and selfisolate. People who say Young Healthy people are immune, who arent immune compromised dont have to worry. Theres this new report of a man, 25 years old, twotime all american lacrosse player, hes in medically induced coma right now, critical condition. He had no symptoms beforehand. He hasnt been out of the country. Does that change . Does that case change what we know about this for young people . Im really glad that youre asking that. Because actually what were seeing is that even information from china, china largely recorded on the death rates which is why some people are saying are we seeing more illness in young people. Its not the case. In the United States were reporting more information. Rear not just reporting on death rates were reporting people who are severer and critically ill and what were finding is that this disease does not discriminate Critical Illness by your age. Were seeing that in many icus, im talking to many of my colleagues anywhere 12 to 30 of their patients in icu are younger ages. The death rate is still higher when youre older but people of all ages can be critically ill. Okay. Lets get to some questions from twitter and from instagram as well. First question up here on what surfaces can the virus survive . Metical, plastic, paper, skin. Whats the answer . So, victor, we get a lot of these questions. What should i do with my grocery . Theres been a number of tests and things like copper the virus stays about four hours. Maybe your pennies. Also on cardboard around 24 hours. On plastic and steel around two to three days. So what does that mean for the average person . It means when you bring home your groceries if they are plastic or in something thats metal if youre worried wipe them down otherwise it would be on there for two to three days. Is it necessary . Is it infectious. We dont know that. If you want to be on the safe side. Be careful with door knobs and things like that. I want to ask you this. Someone tweeted me coul could covid19 if i sanitize my hands before i touch Something Like a gas pump could that kill the virus . Thats a good question. You want to sanitize your hand before you touch a gas pump to prevent illness or spreading to the next person but for you, after you touch that gas pump, before you touch your hand or face or anything like that, wash your hand or sanitize with something thats 70 alcohol or higher. Heres one from that was posted to my instagram. Im an airbnb host. What requirements should i have from a guest before they come in. Should i take their temperature, ask their whereabouts. Im expecting a guest april 1st. This is really tough. As were learning, people can be contagious for 24 hours. From six to 24 hours. Even before their symptoms happen. And we know a number of people who have very mild or atypical. Were seeing many atypical conditions. I would tell the airbnb host this may be the time to suspend having visitors all together. Theres no way you can prove that person does not have covid. Doctor, i got this on my instagram as well. How will we know weve turned a corner and things are returning to normal. What are the signs we should be looking for in that regard . Were all wondering this because this is really hard for all of us. On so many levels. What im telling people, what well be looking for is what weve seen and been looking at in china and italy. When do we see the number of new cases start to level off . Right now were primarily testing people who are in the hospitals. Thats our only data point. When do we see fewer patients coming into the hospital. In my hospital and many hospitals nationwide those numbers are increasing which is a proxy, to let us know were not at the plateau and havent peaked yet. Heres a tweet from j. B. According to most reports covid19 cause as severe case of pneumonia. Would getting one of the two pneumonia vaccines lessen the symptoms or lower the death rate in case someone eventually becomes infected with covid19. Thats a great question. Getting your vaccines wont prevent you from getting covid. One if you get covid youre less likely to get a secondary infection of pneumonia on open of it. And also, they are going to decrease the fact that you could just get the flu, which may look like covid and now may be confusing. Me as an er doctor i have to find the needle in the hay stack. The smaller the hay stack can be, fewer people who have covidlike illnesses easier for me who is truly sick from covid. Those vaccines help us in many ways. Dock, to we talked a little bit about the Younger Age Group here. Is there a gauge of how many people have become critically ill or died who arent compromised or arent in that heightened group . There is not an official data set yet. We do know after talking to er doctors by colleagues nationwide and colleagues in the icu, yes the majority of people who get, who die from this. Majority of people who get critically ill often have some comorbidity. Mass. Increased risk from obesity. All of us are seeing people who are otherwise healthy. Fewer but still exists. So, again, this virus does not discriminate, unfortunately, against any age group or health class. So, we see this on twitter something that we all have to be concerned about. Whats the best way to sanitize our phones . Our phones. Those are probably one of the things that pass the germs the most. What im doing. Ill tell you what im doing. Maybe not the best thing because i heard it may be bad for your screen but im using those wipes, disinfecting wipes we know are active against the coronavirus. Epa has a list of all the different disinfectants against coronavirus. Im using it on my phone. Best if you have one of those case where you can wipe the entire thing down. We so appreciate you taking so much time with us to answer these questions for our viewers. I mean, thats what were going to make sure that they get the information that they are really looking for. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Listen, thank you for everything youre doing in the e. R. The medical community. Were thinking of all of you. Thank you, christi, bye, victor. Thank you, dr. Long. We take a look at people working on the front lines of the outbreak. Barn. An arena. More fence. And hay. Lots of hay. So you need a tractor built to do it all. And do it right. You need the power to handle anything. You need versatile performance matchedattachments. You need the 1 selling compact tractor for a decade. The kubota l series tractors. Thwhich, if im not mistaken, papadia. Is latin for better than a sandwich. Heheven has a better pickle. Get a new papadia for six bucks. Better ingredients. Better pizza. Better than a sandwich. Papa johns. And sometimes, you can find yourself heading in a new direction. But when youre with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, theres nothing to stop you from moving forward. I often see them have teeth every step is clear, sensitivity as well as gum issues. Does it worry me . Absolutely. They are both very much hand in hand.
