Experts suggest vaping might be a factor. You can get it. The numbers show you can get it if youre a young person. Reporter there is yet more conflicting messaging from the administration. Here is the Surgeon General on the today show. He strongly supports social distancing. I want america to understand, this week its going to get bad. It means Everybody Needs to be taking the right steps right now, that means stay at home. Reporter but just last night the president on twitter suggesting strict rules on staying inside might be relaxed just a week from now.

Not everyone, apparently, taking social distancing seriously enough. We cant have the kind of social distancing that parts of italy had or we will turn into italy with those case counts or those death rates. Reporter more than 6,000 have now died in italy, among them 20 doctors. Here thousands of retired Health Care Workers heeding the call to come back to work.

And mercy, the Navy Hospital ship with 800 personnel aboard, today setting sail for los angeles. Our thanks to nick watt. Joining me now to discuss, Maryland Governor larry hogan, a republican. Governor, thank you for joining us. You announced your state will close nonessential businesses starting at 5 00 p. M. Youre not ordering a shelter in place like delaware, virginia, and at least ten other states have done. Why not . Really, its sort of semantics, jake. I mean, certain states are taking different steps. Ours are somewhat more restrictive than other states that are calling it shelter in place. Weve directed and strongly suggested people stay in their homes unless they need to leave for certain essential purposes. But weve closed more businesses than many of those states that have a socalled shelter in place. We were one of the first to close schools, one of the first to close bars and restaurants. Our actions today go pretty far. We had 678 increase over the weekend in maryland. Were taking many of the same steps you were talking about in new york. Fema is opening up a 250bed hospital in our Convention Center in baltimore. Were doing everything we can to not only take steps on social distancing but to really ramp up and deal with this massive crisis were going to have with providing health care to all of these folks. And were also trying to address the impact to the economy that you were just talking about. We announced a number of steps today to help our Small Businesses and those people who are losing their jobs, which is kind of a dual attack at the same time. How do we save lives and how do we also help people economically . Right. Maryland has had i believe these numbers are the latest288 confirmed cases of coronavirus and three marylanders have, strategy ical tragically, died. Do you think that by not ordering a shelter in place, even though youve taken other aggressive measures, that there might be marylanders that have not gett egotten the message, ws please stay at home . As i said, our closing of nonessential businesses has gone further than many other states that have said theyre sheltering in place. We believe the actions were taking will be more effective. We have you cant have gatherings of more than ten people in one place. We have directed today all of our state and local Law Enforcement to actually get out there and start not arresting people but messaging to people that theyve got to disperse those crowds. Well start making people break up these large gatherings as youve seen on reports across the country. Im the chairman of the National Governors association and we have another meeting this afternoon, just before i went on the air with you, with the Vice President and 52 governors talking about these issues and what individual states are doing as they see fit in their individual states. We continue and what kind of help we need from the federal government. Speaking of that, we continue to hear reports from hospitals, people in the health care professions, people on the front lines, they need more ventilators, icu beds and so on. Is maryland getting, are you getting what you need from the federal government . No, nobodys getting what they need. Thats one of the things we keep talking about. The good news is thats the bad news. We can all talk about what hasnt happened, weve heard about it over and over again. No state in america has enough masks or ventilators or any of the ppe that were all desperately needing. Were all trying to address that in our individual states and pushing as hard as we can at the federal level. They have made some progress. The private sector is ramping up. Fema is starting to deliver some of those supplies out to the states and each of us are making decisions on our own to ramp up production in our states and get things on the open market. Its not a great situation. We are making some progress but thats going to continue to be a pinch point where we dont have enough to handle the surge, which is why were doing all these other things to try and lower the demand. We cant have all these people getting sick at the same time and crowding our hospitals. One of the things i hear is a problem, i heard this from Governor Pritzker of illinois, because there isnt like one national centralized individual or organization trying to get masks, ventilators, ppe, icu beds, et cetera, for the states, youre all competing with each other, youre bidding against illinois who is bidding against new york who is bidding against california, driving up the prices and not solving the problem. I think senator murphy referred to it as a lord of the flies situation. Is that a problem youre having . I think its its a little bit of a problem. Fema, just as of thursday or friday, they made the decision that fema was going to take the lead at the federal level and is trying to coordinate those things and drive them out. So thats progress from where we were before. But also, having the states having the flexibility to be able to go outside that process and get some things that we need individually is not such a bad idea. I kind of agree with both sides on the argument of this. Yes, we should be doing a better job at the federal level. Yes, they should be getting stuff out to us. But states have been able to go out and get things on our own and we should be able to have that flexibility as well. So i kind of agree with both sides of the argument. Look, it doesnt matter who is responsible or should be responsible or who should have done what. Were all just going to do everything it takes at the federal, state, and local level to take action right now to try to, you know, keep people safe and to save peoples lives. Right now if we could snap our fingers and have everything we want, theoretically, Health Officials say, they would want everyone to stay in place where they are, freeze where they are, and then do widespread testing to find out where the disease is, where the virus is, and then isolate those individuals. What is the state of testing in maryland right now . I know that there are more tests now than there were two weeks ago, even one week ago. How efficient is it right now, how much are you able to get a hold on what the problem actually is in maryland . So its not nearly enough in maryland, just like it isnt anywhere else. But were up more than 500 of where we were just a few days ago. So were rapidly escalating the amount of tests. Weve got private labs here in maryland that are increasing the lab capacity. I think we just today, i Just Announced we got another thousand tests coming in from a chinese company. We have Johns Hopkins in maryland thats doing their own testing. We were one of the first states in the country to get it approved. I signed an executive order today to expedite the approval of labs so we can go around the federal process, not wait for the fda and just get our own testing moving forward. And we got additional tests in from fema, from the federal government. While its still not great, its progress, and were far ahead of where we were, say, last thursday or friday. What about school kids in maryland, what is the decision there . I believe some states have announced that schools basically canceled until the end of the year. Some states trying to do remote learning. Whats the situation in maryland, have you made a decision as for the end of this school year . Yes, so i was the first or second governor in america to close all schools statewide. Were quickly going to make that decision. Weve met with our local School Superintendents to try to make sure what capacity we have for the ability to provide Distance Learning and Online Learning for our kids. Were going to try and figure out that out based on available evidence. A few states have made decision to Cancel School for the rest of the year. We havent made that decision yet for k12. We have for colleges and universities across the state. Larry hogan, governor of the great state of maryland, thank you for your time, best of luck to you. Thank you, jake.

Jobs, a bill in congress is stalled right now because of partisan bickering. The bill could provide 350 billion in forgivable Small Business loans and another possible 200 billion for the airline industry. Both Senate Democrats and republicans are accusing each other of making outrageous additions and democrats have blocked any vote forward on the measure. Cnns Phil Mattingly is on capitol hill. Phil, what are the kinds of items both sides are trying to tack on to this bill . Reporter jake, keep in mind this is going to be the largest funding package than at any time in u. S. History. A lot of extraneous stuff is going to be thrown into the mix. Republicans say democrats have thrown in things like emissions for airlines, expansions of solar and wind tax credits, something republicans are obviously deeply opposed to. Democrats counter republicans had opposed extended funding for obje abstinence training. Those smaller issues which ramped everybody up arent the reason things are stalled right now. The real reason is there are two issues democrats are holding out on. They want more protections, more oversight for a 500 billion loan fund that would go out to larger distressed companies. They also want more money to be kicked out to states, localities, and cities. Those are the two key points of negotiation. As i speak, Senate Democratic speaker Chuck Schumer is meeting with secretary treasury steve mnuchin. They plan to have a deal today. But theyve been saying that for several days, jake. Phil mattingly, thank you so much. President trumps top economic adviser is warning the u. S. Government may have to make difficult tradeoffs when it comes to balancing coronavirus restrictions and survival of the u. S. Economy. Kaitlan collins reports there is debate within the government on whether saved lives are worth the economic damage. Reporter one week after he told americans to stay home and maintain distance for 15 days, President Trump is now considering using his own guidelines amid growing concerns about the economic toll. The president tweeted hell make a decision about whether to scale back in the coming days, but he made clear hes growing impatiently with his own restrictions. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself, he tweeted. The president was echoing what he heard on fox news moments earlier, nearly verbatim. You know that famous phrase, the cure is worse than the disease. That is exactly the territory we are hurtling towards. Reporter the president s own Health Experts have said its too soon to tell if the guidelines are effective, and social distancing is still crucial to curbing the spread of the virus. I think that there are a lot of people who are doing the right things. But i think that unfortunately were finding out a lot of people think this cant happen to them. Reporter trumps own allies are warning him not to ease up on the guidelines in hopes of boosting the economy. Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted, there is no functioning economy unless we control the virus. But the pundits appear to have gotten through to the president. According to his chief economic adviser. The president is right. The cure cant be worse than the disease. And were going to have to make some difficult tradeoffs. Reporter dr. Tony fauci is the lead scientist on the president s task force. And in a new interview, he admits that statements trump makes arent always true or in line with his advice. Fauci told the journal of science, i cant jump in front of a microphone and push him down. Amid the internal split over guidelines, officials are also divided over whether trump should use his federal powers to require private companies to ramp up production of muchneeded medical supplies. Though hospitals say theyre in short supply, trump hasnt used the defense production act yet, despite his claim that he has. I have. I have. Reporter the president is now telling aides hes under intense pressure from state officials like new York Governor Andrew Cuomo to put it to use. I think the president should step it up. Reporter so, jake, when it comes to the possibility of loosening those federal guidelines, basically its a split between the economic advisers on the Coronavirus Task force and the doctors and the scientists who are advocating for stricter measures, not loosening them. But the Vice President did say that any decisions they make about that is going to come at the end of that 15day period, so that would put us about a week from today when we find out what theyre going to do. All right, kaitlan collins, thanks so much. Amazon is hiring 100,000 new workers to tackle their unprecedented level of demand for supplies. The company is also raising wages for hourly employees to a minimum of 17 an hour. But what steps is the Corporate Giant taking to protect workers from contracting or spreading the coronavirus to those of us who order from amazon . Joining me now is amazons senior Vice President of Global Corporate affairs. He also served as press secretary in the obama administration. Jay carney, good to see you. Masks are being prioritized for Health Care Workers in this country. What steps are you taking to protect amazon workers right now from being exposed . Thank you, jake, for having me. The answer to that question is, every step we can. We are making sure we practice social distancing in our fulfillment centers, those are our logistic centers, our warehouses, that every surface is deep cleaned regularly to protect our employees. Weve ended practices that involve the congregation of employees, regular meetings and the like, where many employees would gather together. And we are asking any employee who tonight feel well to go home, and any employee who either contracts covid19 and is diagnosed with it or is quarantined because a Family Member or someone else is diagnosed with it, they automatically get paid two weeks of paid time off to either take care of their Family Member or take care of themselves. So were meeting every day, were consulting with medical experts to get the best possible information we can to make sure were doing the right thing by our employees so they can turn around and deliver essential goods to millions of americans around the country and millions of people around the world. Will amazon guarantee that any one of your employees who actually contracts the coronavirus not only gets two weeks of paid leave but gets as much paid leave as he or she needs and also proper treatment paid for . First let me say we already meet every standard in every state we do business when it comes to paid time off and weve added additional paid leave for covid. All our workers get the same Health Care Benefits that i get and all our executives get, the same time off that i get. So weve never had tiered systems of benefits. So were confident that with the extra measures were taking, that our employees will get the time off they need. They will get the support they need from amazon. If they do contract covid. For our customers, were making sure we move quickly. We did have an employee in a Distribution Center in new york be diagnosed with covid. That facility was immediately shut down, immediately deep cleaned before it was reopened. And that employee is now quarantined and taking care of himself. Lets turn to the people who receive packages from amazon which include me and my family and probably a lot of viewers if not all of them. What are you doing to make sure that your company is not bringing coronavirus into peoples homes . There are studies suggesting that the virus can remain and live on cardboard, like your boxes, for 24 hours. What do you suggest people do . Should people leave the boxes outside their homes and open them with gloves . What steps are you taking there . We are learning as we go, like everyone. And were cuttionsul consulting medical experts to get the best information we can. There is that evidence that the virus can live on packaging for some period of time. So far i believe the w. H. O. And cdc have not said there is a case of transmission from packaging. However our advice to customers is to take the precautions they feel are right for them. Wipe down packages with disinfectant, leave them outside or in a remote place for a period of time if theyre concerned about the possibility of transmission. We understand that the last thing we want to do when were providing Household Goods and other things that were prioritizing like medical supplies to our customers that we dont want to inadvertently participate in the transmission of this virus. You also do Home Delivery of food, amazon, through whole foods. What steps are you taking there . Very similar in terms of maintaining all of the guidelines that cdc and w. H. O. Have sent out about social distancing, about protective gear, and of course what im advising customers, our food delivery as well as our product delivery, is to wipe down packaging if they feel theyre concerned it might be transmitting anything. Again, we havent seen that evidence yet. But this is a moving picture and were following it closely. Jay carney, amazon.

Breaking news, any minute uk Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is having a press conference. Lets listen in. And this country is not alone. All over the world were seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer. Tonight i want to update you on the latest steps were taking to fight the disease and what you can do to help. And i want to begin by reminding you why the uk has been taking the approach that weve. Without a Huge National effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no Health Service in the world could possibly cope, because there wont be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses. And as weve seen elsewhere, in other countries, who have fantastic health care systems, that is the moment of real danger. To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the nhs will be unable to handle it, meaning more people are likely to die, not just from coronavirus but from other illnesses as well. So its vital to slow the spread of the disease because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time, so we can protect the nhs ability to cope and save more lives. Thats why weve been asking people to stay at home during this pandemic. Although huge numbers are complying, and i thank you all, the time has now come for us all to do more. From this evening, i must give the british people a very simple instruction. You must stay at home, because the critical thing we must do to stop the disease spreading between households, that is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes. Shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible. One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle, alone or with members of your ahold of. Any medical need. To provide care or help a vulnerable person. And traveling to and from work but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home. Thats all. These are the only reasons you should leave your home. You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say no. You should not be meeting Family Members who do not live in your home. You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine. And you should do this as little as you can. And use Food Delivery Services where you can. If you dont follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings. To ensure compliance with the governments instruction to stay at home, we will immediately close all shops selling nonessential goods including clothing and Electronic Stores and other premises including libraries, playgrounds, outdoor gyms and places of worship. Well stop all gatherings of more than two people in public, excluding people you live with. And well stop all social events including weddings, batptisms ad other ceremonies, excluding funerals. Parks will remain open but gatherings will be dispersed. No Prime Minister wants to enact measures like this. I know the damage this destruction is doing and will do to peoples lives, to businesses, and to jobs. Thats why weve produced a huge and Unprecedented Program of support both for workers and for business. And i can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks and relax them if the evidence shows were able to. But at present, there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is true that many lives will sadly be lost. And it is also true that there is a clear way through. Day by day we are strengthening our amazing nhs. We have 7,500 former clinicians now coming back into service. The time you buy by simply staying at home enables us to replenish our stocks, work on a vaccine, and buy millions of testing kits that will enable us to turn the tide on this invisible killer. I want to thank everyone who is working flat out to beat the virus, everyone from the supermarket staff to the transport workers to the careers to the nurses and interesdoctore front line. In this flight we can be in no doubt that each and every one of us and directly enlisted. Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together, to halt the spread of this disease, to protect our nhs and to save many, many thousands of lives. And i know that as they have in the past, so many times, the people of this country will rise to that challenge and we will come through it stronger than ever. We will beat the coronavirus of this and we will beat it together. And that, i urge you, at this moment of national emergency, to stay at home, protect our nhs, and save lives. Thank you. Uk Prime MinisterBoris Johnson. Lets bring in Cnn International anchor max foster and Cnn National Security editor nick paton walsh, live from outside 10 downing street. Max, how significant is it that the Prime Minister is speaking . I seem to recall a few weeks ago he said something that was derided as foolish, but now he seems to be taking it seriously. It is a uturn, probably on very good advice. Britain is going into a lockdown. He has asked people to stay home and not take undue risks. But we saw these images coming out over the weekend, people in parks, crowding the underground, and train carriages. Hes given Police Powers now to find people who are out and about for nonessential purposes and any gatherings of more than two. Hes telling people to stay at home. Hes warning that the virus is about to hit the uk in a major way, and the Health Service wont be able to cope unless people come together as communities and act in a responsible way, and we havent seen enough of that here, jake, thats the sad part. And nick, the Prime Minister saying theres only a few reasons you should leave home, if there are medical needs, to and from work if you cant work from home, if you need to exercise, and you should do so by yourself or with people in your household but not with anybody else, and then shopping but only for necessities. What kind of precautions are in place across the uk right now . Reporter significantly less than what weve heard. Jake, no mistake here, britain is waking up to three weeks, remember, he had said he would review it in three weeks time, realizing that giving extraordinary restrictions, british citizens would be wary. Nobody in this generation has seen this kind of thing before, in fact only those most vulnerable to coronavirus, those in their 70s, saw Something Like this during the second world war. Every building that isnt a supermarket or pharmacy will be closed. He says police will have major powers. There still has to be major legislation to allow police to disperse gatherings. The Prime Minister has pursued a strategy where some said scientists were confessing they had let the disease spread to some degree. That clearly wasnt working. Models show they could be seeing a death toll of a quarter Million People through the length of this pandemic, and theyve suddenly changed during the past week. Many wondering whether these lockdowns will bring them more into proximity of their neighbors. They have not prohibited everyone going to work and there are certain exceptions here that people may start use to go still use around. But still an extraordinary moment here for the united kingdom, jake. Nick and max, thanks so much, stay safe, both of you. Next well talk to one of the doctors on the front lines of the pandemic.

Some breaking news for you now, uk Prime MinisterBoris Johnson moments ago ordering an essential lockdown of the uk, telling people they need to stay home and only leave for necessities, medicine, food, necessities, or work, this as the World Health Organization announces a global Clinical Trial to try to find a coronavirus treatment. Joining me, the chief medical officer at Holy Name Medical Center in teaneck, new jersey. Doctor, thanks for joining us. Whats your reaction when you hear the would Health Organization is doing treatment trials . Does that fill you with optimism . Are you skeptical . I think its a good move. I am concerned that things cannot happen soon enough. Unfortunately Good Research takes time. On the front line, we are doing at Holy Name Medical Center what Many Organizations are doing, were using drugs that have not shown proven efficacy for coronavirus but we know the safety profile of those medications, so were using them based on some very small studies, based on the understanding of how that drug works. And knowing the safety profile of those medications and knowing the potential risk of coronavirus, were using those medication now. What do you say to someone who may have one of these drugs the World Health Organization will be testing, such as chloroquine, in their medicine cabinet and theyre thinking about take on it on their own . Yeah, no one should take those medications on their own. Those medications might help. And because they only might help, its important that individual patients discuss with their primary care physician the risk and benefit of that medication for coronavirus. All medications that we take have risks. Therefore you should only take a medicine if youve discussed it with your primary care provider who has made a decision that the benefits of those medications outweigh the risks. Certainly in patients with coronavirus that may be the case, with the chloroquine type medication. But you only want to do that in consultation with your doctor. Youre on the front lines of this pandemic. Teaneck is in something of a shutdown, i believe. Can you describe how things are going both in teaneck and specifically in your hospital . So we recommended several weeks ago to the leadership in teaneck that it was time to begin thinking about a shutdown. Thats happened in teaneck, appropriately, were grad that happened. We began seeing cases 2 1 2 weeks ago and its ramped up significantly. Our emergency room is full of coronavirus patients. We have approximately 20 patients in the hospital that have known coronavirus. Another 60 patients that we suspect highly have coronavirus. And we continue to see more and more patients. The scary part of this disease, and i say scary not to make people afraid but to stress how important it is that they follow the recommendations of social isolation, the patients that we see who come into the hospital needing care, a significant percentage of them will need Critical Care and will need to be put on ventilators. At what point do people come in . When they have trouble breathing or lose so much energy that they cant even stand . Whats the point that differentiates somebody who has it or probably has it and is selfquarantining at home, and somebody who needs to go to the er . What weve done at holy name is set up a telemedicine option for all our patients. We hope theyre using that option and making that decision about whether or not they need to come in while theyre talking to the provider on the phone. The bottom line is, if you are having symptoms typical of a flu with low grade fever and a slight cough or congestion, you really should stay home. When you begin having high fever, and most importantly, when you begin to feel any symptoms of shortness of breath, thats when its important you come and be seen in your Emergency Department. I want to stress, though, patients coming in either to their doctor or Emergency Department really need to call ahead. We need to stem the tide of this infection. When patients call ahead, we can be prepared for that patient and our staff can use the appropriate protective gear so theyre not at risk. Dr. Jarrett, thank you so much for your time and the work you and your medical team are doing on the front lines there in teaneck, new jersey. We appreciate it. Thank you so much.
