time. they managed to slow the spread even though they were two of the first states hit by the virus. we begin with casey stegall and that's reports live in dallas. >> the latest numbers from louisiana are hot off the press and the fatality account now climbing to 273 across the state. it is a 15% increase from yesterday, although it is down a little bit considering the last previous recorded. was a 30% climb in just 24 hours. we expect the governor who is holding a press conference at any minute at the bottom of the hour to give us some updates on those numbers and the continued enforcement that's going on there. there are now more than 6400 total cases across the state of louisiana and that is making it one of those hot spots that national officials continue talking about. saturday is when he says the state's current ventilator supply will run out. two days after that, and he says all of our states hospital beds will be full. >> and each one of those individual departments, and the new orleans convention center has been converted into one of those temporary pop-up field hospitals. we don't have a timeline as far as when that can open, but it is expected to increase bed capacity and that badly needed city and by quite a bit. >> bill: we will be there live in a couple of minutes. so nonessential businesses in what way? >> that's not what it is although most local communities here in the state of texas enacted their own local ordinances keeping people at home for weeks. governor greg abbott says texans do not want to let their guard down despite cases here being relatively low for now with 58 deaths statewide and 4,000 cas cases. >> one case is clear and that is the distancing practices that you all are doing is working. there are people who can transmit the disease from one person to another. and faster test results as well. that will remain closed. >> dallas, team fox coverage continues. and. that is far from over a not easy back on any of the restrictions. but it does seem clear now that early action has helped. washington was a first state to ban large gatherings and require social distancing. that was march 11th. the state already had 29 deaths so people knew this was serious. even a week earlier big tech companies like amazon, microsoft and facebook are asking employees to work from home. and that was long before the governor order businesses and schools to close. california was a second state to have a death in politicians there were very proactive. san francisco was a first city in the u.s. to order nonessential workers to stay home and that policy spread throughout the state. at last nights briefing the white house task force look showed a slide that highlights the success. california's cases are shown in blue and washingtons in yellow. a stark contrast from new jers new jersey. >> we all remember washington state, it was just a month ago when they started to have the issues in washington state but they brought together their communities and their health providers and they put in strong mitigation methods. and testing. >> still west coast officials are expecting a peak surgeon about two weeks. >> bill: how far behind was a response on the east coast? >> in some cases coming weeks. florida closed down the state and has taken a lot of heat from spring breakers which just a few weeks ago looked like this. new york and new jersey issued stay-at-home orders on the 20th and 21st of march with the whole message of social distancing was slower to take hold. this was two days ago on the west coast was shutting down in mid-march and new yorkers were getting a different message. >> if you love your neighborhood bar, go there now because we don't know what the future holds. but go there very briefly in social distance. >> to be fair, mayor de blasio says he was just joking but the tone was very different than it was then. >> bill: let's bring in dr. meche had knowledge. doctor, welcome back to our program. dan was just referring to the slides from the white house yesterday, take our viewers through so you can pick up on this. this is what the white house told us yesterday. they are graphics from the briefing last night. if we do nothing we are the bubble in blue, 1.5-2.2 million deaths in america. but with the medication right now from the 1st of april through the 1st of may, deaths per day are expected to peak right around mid-april. that would be the 15th of april. a staggering 2,214 americans dead as of the projection from the white house. just to round out what what dan was referring to is the pattern. the blue line is new york and the orange line is new jersey come and see the way they are going? washington state is the yellowing in california is the blue line down here and that's where they talk about stopping the spread. if you look at all the states combined, in the spaghetti models, it's new york and new jersey that are the biggest outliers and all the other states formed down here at the bottom. doctor, based on what you heard from that briefing and what we are picking up, what do you think we need to understand today on the 1st of april? >> we need to understand as we have different outbreaks all over the world and all over the country and each state will have a unique experience based on their population, density, hospital capacity and what's going on with testing. we need to know that every state will have cases and the outbreak is going to really unfold in various different ways there and we are going to have to look at each state uniquely with an eye for what's going on in cases like new york. that's the canary in the coal mine. you see them running out of capacity, that's the tone for their states. while there are differences in population density that something you have to help you use to help guide your local planning efforts and i think everyone's eyes are on new york right now to see what happens in the next couple of days. >> bill: it seems like they were making a lot of comparisons to italy. these are cases in italy, not deaths but the number of cases in italy by the day. so you go back ten days and they seem to have hit a peak around the 20th through the 26th and now, sliding lower here. is that a fair comparison, the united states and italy when you consider the death toll there in the northern part of italy? >> there are major differences between what's happening in the united states and italy. they have an older population and the average age of those can hospitalize is much higher than other countries and that explains some of their case fatality of getting higher. the other issue is we know that part of italy was unable to transfer some of those patients limited capacity with some government decisions that could be made about who could be transferred to what hospital. it is a warning of what could happen if something spirals out of control and i hope we won't have the italian type of experience. so far it doesn't look like we will have that type of experience. >> bill: i hope you are right, especially in that last point. you work at john hopkins i knew we've been using your map for weeks. you got about 911 cases confirmed around the world. you have 45,000 deaths on the map here and about 191,000 in green. on the total number of recovered. you told me you don't rely on this? what is it that you use it for? >> i do look at the number of deaths that are occurring and i don't look at the recover number in much detail because that's something that's a subjective and based on what's going on in each country. have they had negative test results and have they been discharged from the hospital. when i look at is the number of deaths and i look at what is going on locally. so i end up doing a lot of qualitative work, calling on my friends and colleagues all over the country asking, what's going on in your emergency department? that helps me get in a very concrete fashion what's going on it what can i expect to see in my city or in my hospital based on what people are actually seeing. it's very hard sometimes to make those numbers real because the testing is different in different countries in what's called recovered is something different in different countries. i do a lot of qualitative numbers. >> bill: doctor, you are in pittsburgh, it's a little bit after 3:00 in the afternoon east coast time. what trend are you seeing? >> if someone were to call me and ask about pittsburgh i would say so far we have 60 or so patients hospitalized among several different hospitals. it had a couple of deaths, only to. we are doing increasing testing and it seems so far that in the state here, it's not really hitting us with a lot of coronavirus. we are having lots of questions about who gets tested and who doesn't get kept tested but so far our hospitals are operating very well and we don't have any issues with personal protective equipment and i think that's a good thing that pennsylvania has done relatively well. >> bill: one more thing, china is at 82,000 cases, that's what they are giving us based on the map. 76,000 recovered. what's going on there? a difference of 6,000 in china? what do you make of that reported number? >> it's very hard to understand what's going on in china. we know that some of the cases that were counted didn't include for example very mild cases or cases that were asymptomatic so the case count number is lower than what we would have in the united states if we use the same criteria. it's hard to know exactly what that means. i know they are using very strict numbers for recovery and it's very unclear what fidelity we can have with those numbers because there are reports coming out that there were underestimates going on their end the numbers were not quite the same as other countries based on how they were doing testing protocol. i don't think anyone knows what to make of china. >> bill: i would agree on that. thank you so much for your time and we will check and in a of days. in a moment, work from the white house. president trump says iran may be planning a sneak attack against some of our troops. the latest in the white house on what we are learning about that potential threat. and stranded and sick at sea. a florida couple stuck on the cruise ship as the covid-19 rages on. we will talk to their daughter. and then later we check in with the scientists in boston who said he has made a leap in progress in developing treatments for covid-19. it's that simple. with their va streamline refi, there's no income verification or home appraisal. and this refi costs you absolutely nothing out of pocket. it's the quickest and easiest refi newday has ever offered. one call can save you $2000. w&pp89k0ñow"ii;c÷wcó3&["ã i've always been faand still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you. >> bill: a fox news alert, president trump singh iran and his proxies are pushing a sneak attack. john roberts has a story from the north on. >> good afternoon. with this coronavirus business, national security is rearing its head every day with the president sending a sharp warning to the iranian leadership about what might be in the works in iraq in the coming days. the president tweeting upon information and belief, iran and its proxies are planning a sneak attack on u.s. troops and/or assets in iraq if that happens. i ran will pay a very heavy pricing data. sources tell fox news of the sneak attack is apparently being planned by iranian backed proxies in iraq. the iranian backed cantata has bella launched rockets in baghdad killing two american and one british service member and wounded 14 more. and the united states has a right to and will act in self-defense. >> and it, the united states acted in a direct and look deliberate attack >> the warning about a sneak attack comes as the successor to the coots force commander arrived in baghdad and attempts to unify iraq's fractured political leaders and assert iranian influence over t. the last time again that this happened up back at the beginning of march, but in the tweet he issued a while ago, president trump indicating that if it happens again any response might be limited to hezbollah. >> bill: john roberts, thank you for the white house. meanwhile in florida cruise ship dealing with outbreak is now getting closer to the shore. at least two of the deaths are linked to covid-19, but to others are on board flu-like symptoms. best to you and your parents. when did you talk to them last. it's been about a day since i've been able to talk to them. they both had fevers for ten or 11 days, my dad has developed pneumonia. he's having trouble eating and he's coughing a lot. we need to get him medical attention as soon as possible on land. >> bill: you know what the push and pull has been? it's bound for fort lauderdale. that was a plane a few weeks ago and the mayor says they don't want to ship there and the governor has not as well. once a resolution in this, do you think jennifer? >> i hope that they see reason and find compassion for the people that are stuck on the ships. my dad is not the sickest person on the ship, there are several others that are worse that are in critical condition and need support. i don't know if they are are from florida but they need help just as much as my father does. i hope that they can put themselves in our shoes. this could have easily been their family members stuck on the ship. >> bill: jennifer, how far off shore all are they? >> i believe they can arrive by tomorrow morning but they are not allowed in u.s. waters and teleport has been cleared for them. >> bill: remember that princess cruise, it took a while to get that process underway. something like that happening perhaps in a place like fort lauderdale? >> i hope it will eventually, but for right now no dock has been approved that i'm aware of. so until we know which direction we need to go we don't know how long it will be that they will be stuck there. >> bill: they came to the panama canal a few days ago. what if they told you about what's happening aboard? >> basically i know they are confined to their room. they have been there for ten or 11 days since the first people got sick. they are on an inside cabin and they don't have windows. they have not been allowed outside of the cabin for seven days so they have not seen the sun or fresh air in a week. >> bill: i can hear the anxiety in your voice. we will stay in touch and we will figure this out in time and come hang in there. i guess that's the best message for the moment. thank you, jennifer. our best to your folks and we will try to get in touch with them as well on board the ship. in the meantime from new orleans, they are asking neighbors for generations. they want masks, gloves and other safety of equipment or anything they can get their hands on. we will talk to the city ems director about that. with relief of your worst symptoms, including itchy throat. plus an immediate blast of cooling sensation. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. when you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. try pepto liquicaps for fast relief and ultra-coating. nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. get powerful relief with pepto bismol liquicaps. won't be a new thing. and it won't be their first experience with social distancing. overcoming challenges is what defines the military community. usaa has been standing with them, for nearly a hundred years. and we'll be here to serve for a hundred more. >> bill: here in new york there are thousands of new york city police and firefighters out say because the city deals with this pandemic. now the feds are sending a bill in santa cruz to help with the surging number of 911 calls. bryan llenas isn't live in fort cotton park in new york. brian, what are you hearing? >> we are in queens and this is the toughest hardest hit area in new york and reinforcements are on the way and have already arrived here to help new york city's finest. we were there this morning at fort totten right where they had a staging area and impulses arrived, from as far as california and begin deploying throughout the city. fema not only sending 250 ambulances but also 500 emt and paramedics to help out. right now about one in five of new york's emts or paramedics are out sick or quarantined. covid-19 has hit the fired apartment hard, too. over 2900 ft and wind members are out sick and quarantined. nearly 17% of the force. now a new york union president told me that more than 500 are out sick and they are working 17 hour plus shifts. many of them don't want to go home. these are the paramedics. they fear they will spread it to their families. a record number of 911 calls have also's flooded the emergency system and increased 50% daily. >> it just tears you down. oftentimes we know that that loved one will never see them again alive and these people liklikely will die in a bed alo. as provence an an end sadness. >> new york police also hit hard, five mirrors of they have died. governor andrew cuomo says they have the state police ready as a contingency plan. >> bill: want to thank you bryan llenas in the streets of new york. in the meanwhile the cases of death skyrocketing in louisiana. first responders say they are in desperate needs of masks and gloves. dr. emily nichols, thank you for your time. we are hoping for you. we know the numbers have grown up already this week there in louisiana. tell us what you need >> good afternoon. as you stated we are being hit really hard and there were numbers of infection per capita are very close to new york. similar to the amount of employees, the percentage of employees that are out sick, we do have several that are in isolation with symptoms right now. we are fortunate that some of them are actually coming back to work so we are seeing some recovery. the biggest thing we need right now as supplies. more personal protective equipment, ppe, and we are anticipating and surge in needs throughout the region particularly in the hospital and patients needing ventilators. we've been fortunate we have some coming. >> bill: what is the status of your level of supplies today. how far can we go? >> currently today we are in a good place. we are taking inventory daily, sometimes twice daily and our department of homeland security is overseeing all of the equipment that comes in from state and federal level so we have what we need over the next three, four, more patients that need care it will take more equipment so every day we are reevaluating. >> bill: when you get the calls at 911, when you go to the homes of some of these patients, what do you find? >> it's really tough. our providers have mentioned how everyone is very critical. there are a lot of patients who have significant respiratory distress. it's tough on families. it's tough on the employees to because they are worried about their families when they go ho home. >> bill: no doubt. what you think about this pastor who got arrested with six misdemeanors in baton rouge, eight they told him to close down his church and he didn't do it, what do you think about th that? >> law enforcement isn't my area of expertise but staying home is broke vital. we are noting in other countries that they are just now starting to see the effect of weeks of social distancing and it's so important that we do the one thing we know to stop infection which is to keep our hands and our bodies separate from others and continue the hand washing. >> bill: you got the right message. thank you dr. emily nichols, we will check in with new orleans as we move through this. thanks for coming on today. in a moment, we went looking for great american stories and we don't have to look very far. we will talk with the head of the american nursing association about what health care workers are up against as of today, coming up. ♪ and sporting events and concerts. to help our communities when they come back together, respond to the 2020 census now. spend a few minutes online today to impact the next 10 years of healthcare, infrastructure and education. go to 2020census.gov and respond today to make america's tomorrow brighter. it's time to shape our future. and i don't count the wrinkles. but what i do count on is boost high protein. and now, introducing new boost women... with key nutrients to help support thyroid, bone, hair and skin health. all with great taste. new, boost women. designed just for you. new, boost women. hi.aria ramirez?

hold my pouch. >> bill: so the monthly jobs report comes out on friday and one survey economy predicts at least 100,000 jobs cut. they also warn that will not show the full impact of the virus because a lot of the data will be before a government ordered shutdowns. tomorrow, thursday, we will get a look at the new weekly jobless claims. this is the number that shot up to 3.3 million a week ago and economist say it could be in the millions yet again. today is also april 1st and landlords in new york city tell "the new york times" that up to 40% of tenants may not pay their rent. the state is temporarily banning evictions but the owners say they should be able to put off utility bills and taxes. we are watching now a steep sell-off in the final hour of trading. we've been down about two and a half or three percentage points all day in the dow but this now checks even lower, more than a thousand points to the downside in the dow back yet again down below. the nurses and doctors on the front lines are sharing stories of grueling double shifts and overflowing icus. they say they desperately need a more basic gear to protect themselves. let's check in with ernest grant, president of the american nurses association who represents more than 4 million american nurses. sir, thank you for your time. what do we need to understand at the moment? >> first of all, thank you for having me and i'd like to say thank you to all the nurses, doctors and other members of the health care teams are on the frontline. what we are constantly hearing from nurses is the fact that as you mentioned, they need more of the personal protective equipment, or ppe. ppe is more than just the n95 respirator that you've been hearing about. it's also the gowns, masks, the gloves and even the jumpsuits that you see individuals wearing. all of that is very crucial for members of the health care team to use and in order to provide the proper care to the patients but also to help promote their safety as well. >> bill: a great message again. doctor, how do they feel going into this battle? >> you know, nurses rise to the challenge. we have always been very reliable and proven to be responders and disasters like this. but again, as long as they know the resources that they need are there, again, going back to the ppe and also knowing their role in their particular facilities, health care or at the disaster plan, it is important that communication is consistent so that everyone knows what their role is. but we do rise to the challenge even though it is very tough. >> bill: i know you do. what did you think of the message to the white house last night? it was grim. >> it was very grim and that's why it's so important that we try to change that picture. the best thing the american public can do is listen to the authorities were saying to self isolate and practice good hand hygiene, make sure that we are trying to flatten that curve as we have heard over the last few weeks, it's extremely important that we do that because obviously if this continues to spread it, that's going to increase the chance that health care providers are going to get injured, and therefore, it will be an even larger strain on the health care system. >> bill: i know our viewers, when people ask for help, they respond. there's a fund set up for american nurses. how can people help? >> thank you very much for mentioning them. the american nurses foundation which is our philanthropic arm of the ana they have established a fund called the covid-19 nurses response fund. if people text thanks to 2022 and donate $10, the money received will be used in a variety of ways but mostly to help nurses who are in financial need but also providing education and also some mental health help. >> bill: i want to get it right, i'm looking at 20222. just wanted to make sure we got that. >> yes. you got an email, so get back to that and we will check in with you in the coming days. we got a fox news alert right now here in new york city. samaritan's purse, the christian organization that set up tents in new york's central park is now taking in its first covid-19 patient. why is that significant? samaritan's purse is set up in central park across the street from fifth avenue and mount sinai hospital which is also treating covid-19 patients. samaritan's purse set up a 64 bed hospital built intense on the grass that is designed specifically only for covid-19 positive patients. now if the hospitals can't take the burden that they are feeling and receiving the patient's will be taken to this location in central park. we've been keeping an eye on this over the past day or two to see whether or not the hospitals can meet the demand. clearly at the moment with the first patient arriving there there is a need to. so we are watching that as it plays out. all in real-time. in the meantime we've also been checking on international parks and they have not clue closed. alicia acuna has has more on that. >> within the last hour at the national park service confirmed to fox news that they now have nine employees who have tested positive for covid-19 and we are seeing frustration from its workers in all of this as we are also learning today that joshua tree national park has announced its closure after crowds flocked to the popular telephone you destination recently. out of texas "the daily beast" reports on maintenance work at the lyndon b. johnson historic park wrote a letter to his supervisor and cced hundreds of other employees saying come no one has died because i could not see lbj's ranch or ancestral settlement on any given weekend. i say be a beautiful servant to the public trust and prove protect your employees and your visitors and close the park. the nps is under scrutiny right now for allowing some sites to close but not others and, of those nine tests positive from the nine employees a spokesperson sent us a statement saying "employees and visitors are considered to have risk of exposure either because the window for exposure was after the facility closed. or the employee did not work in close contact with visitors and once identified went into of self isolation. after request to close the grand canyon were denied even after reported tests and positive, the house committee on natural resources sent a letter to interior secretary david bernhardt writing "we implore you to do everything in your power to prioritize public health and not interfere with the locally informed decisions to close parks where appropriate." it's photos like these that were taken at zion national park that prompted the nps to limit access to narrow trails and issue warnings and they have closed bathrooms and buildings at the parks that do remain open. >> bill: thanks for that, and in the meantime, scientists telling us the team has made progress in testing treatments to fight the virus. details on what they have done in recent weeks that would usually take months to accomplish. ♪ it's basically free money. it's an easy way to earn cashback on the stuff i'm already buying. sometimes it's 3% sometimes it's 8% but you're always getting cashback. so it's like getting free money. go to rakuten.com and sign up today for a $10 bonus. that liberty mutual customizes your insurance, i just love hitting the open road and telling people so you only pay for what you need!

>> thanks for inviting us back, your viewers have been very supportive. what we are doing is screening small drug like molecules to try to find something that stops the virus from replicating and we made a breakthrough last sunday were we found an antibody that allows us to take the invisible enemy and this is a significant step. once you reach that point how does that help you find an answer for the vaccine. >> that's a bit of a difference, we are doing like a pill that you would take if you were sick and that would help to cure you. so the step forward is, now we can test fda approved drugs that are out on the market and if some of those work we can get them rapidly to the clinic and make a difference. >> normally this would take how long? >> normally it would take companies many months or many years to develop assays to the point where you can do the high three-point screen. >> bill: where'd you get the vaccine, how do you acquire that? i apologize, i misspoke. long day. i'm certain you can understand. where do you acquire the covid-19, how do you get that? >> right. so it actually came from the first u.s. case in washington state. cdc took a a sample of that person's blood and sent it to galveston at the national virus repository and they will able to distributed to people around the country to work on it. >> bill: so now you start the screening of thousands possibly come up thousands of drugs to see if they work. how do you figure out that answer? >> now we got the system working efficiently and it's a rather easy process. we have some robotics that have been donated by some great companies around the country and we can pour into this, the robot plates that have little holes in them and have the cells growing on them. we put the drug and the virus in there and we get the answer a few days later. >> bill: a couple more questions, i'm very curious about this. we've heard a lot about hydroxychloroquine and a lot about z packs. is this the kind of medication you apply to this? >> completely. those drugs will be tested and many others. anything that people may be taken for treating blood pressure or maybe even things for other common problems. they could hold the solution to preventing the virus from spreading. we just have to do the testing and make sure it's safe. >> bill: how do you know when you are winning? >> so what you see in the plate, we have a microscope which takes a picture and the critical breakthrough last thursday was we had this protection agent, like president trump said it's the invisible enemy but now we can see the enemy before our eyes. so when the drug kills the virus we are not going to see anymore infected cells in that dish. and that's the key. >> bill: are you hopeful? >> yes, i'm very hopeful. there's been a lot of support from reviewers and from companies all across america. they are all sending us things and we are going to efficiently screen these things. >> bill: good luck and stay at it. we are pulling for you, robert. robert deve. in a moment, your smartphone could be tracking how well you are following your stay at home orders, are you okay with that?
