In the u. S. New york city the epicenter seeing largest 24 hour spike in both deaths and cases. Good morning. Im Griff Jenkins in washington with my colleagues jillian and pete in new york. Pete good morning, griff. We are here in studio f, im upstairs and jillian is downstairs. All morning long focusing on the stories that matter most. Labor secretary eugene scral. Steve scalise and mac call waltz the doctor is here this morning. Sapphire, segal and nesheiwat. And jillian, how are things going and, you know, here we are on the weekend. Have a big week. We cover those briefings and here we are on a saturday. Jillian it doesnt matter. The news doesnt stop on the weekend as you very well know. We are getting new information. We are towering about the new regulations from the cdc, the new guidelines here. The recommendations i should say when you are out in Public People should be wearing a mask. It is important to note not a medical grade mask because our medical workers still need them each and every day. We will be talking to all of our doctors on the show each and every day and getting their opinion. Different suggestions people have of you who you can make these cloth masks yourself. Griff, you were talking about that as well. We are going to get into all of this throughout the show and give everyone what they need to know. Griff yeah. Pete we are going to do a tease. You have one. Griff this is a cloth. This is a tshirt. An old tshirt in my drawer and i watched the Surgeon General jerome adams 45 second video. You literally make a very simple folding and i will quickly try to demonstrate, this fold on the edges and fold it down. And then you basically put the rubber bands arent it and i wont belabor this too long. I want to show you how quickly i can make a mask and why this is so very important. As you point out, jillian, we are ending, look at this. Jillian wow. Can you use rubber bands and hair ties if women have them at home. Pete made for tv. Otherwise, griff, how are things in washington, d. C. Griff here in d. C. The mayor predicting one in seven residents in and the District Of Columbia will become infected. Its concerning my car is covered in the green pollen of spring erupting here. People are much more lax. Its not being hit yet like new york is and, of course, the concern is that if we dont get in front of this with the social distancing, with now perhaps Face Coverings as people will be sneezing and being affected by allergies. We could worsen our situation. If we dont. As the administration says, keep our foot on the accelerator. We know whats coming. We see these numbers ending the week spiking and now it is time for every american to get tough, find resolve and do what the experts are telling us to do. Jillian you are right. And new york city had its largest 24hour spike in cases from thursday evening to friday evening. 6582 people tested positive. That was since thursday evening and now there are 305 new yorkers died. The numbers are continuing to climb. We expected that. We are are going to talk to all of the doctors about that. Pete thats the part of it. They climb, which is terrible. We expected it. As we have seen from the briefing, all of this is what the curve was bringing to us. Griff of course, the other story we are seeing the tragedy of Small Businesses being crushed by this pandemic now getting relief. Billions of dollars of loans processed under a new white house program. Garrett tenney joining us live as we learn a fourth Coronavirus Relief plan may be in the works, garrett . Good morning, yawrl yall. This is part of the Government Protection program. Day one it processed 17,500 loans worth 5. 4 billion. Those funds can be used by Small Businesses to make payroll, pay rent, and other expenses and if they dont lay anyone off, at some point, those loans get forgiven. The reason the loans are so crucial right now is that 96 of Small Businesses have been impacted by the outbreak. 75 have fewer sales and more than half will only be able to stay open for sachs. Here is Vice President mike pence touting the program on friday. We have seen over a 1. 5 billion in loans go out through the Paycheck Protection Program today. We are literally working hour by hour, day by day to make sure that patients, families and Healthcare Providers have the equipment and support that they need. Its important to note though that right now several of the biggest banks in the country, like citi, chase, and wells fargo are not accepting applications for the program because they say they need more time to get this process ready, but many Small Business owners across the country have really stressed over the last 24 hours time is something they simply dont have. Back to yall. Pete garrett, thank you very much. I have been in contact with a lot of Small Business owners. There is optimism that this will happen amen and can happen quic. Confusion who qualifies and who doesnt. How quickly can it happen . Heard from bankers as well we are trying to get through the regulations as quickly as possible. This is a 2 trilliondollar bill. It happened very, very quickly. There is some ambiguity. Signs are that money is flowing. The question is for how long and how easily can businesses access it . Access. Jillian we will continue to follow it we are bringing in dr. Janette nesheiwat. We were messaging each other last night. Thank you tore everything you are doing. You are working so hard and you are treating Covid Patients every single day. Good morning, good morning, guys. Yes, you know, its my job as a servant to protect and help take care of patients along with my other amazing colleagues that im blessed to work with. So we are here for you. I want america to know we are going to do everything we can to try to keep you healthy and alive. You have got to do your part though. Stay home. Follow the social distancing and the hand hygiene. Pete doctor, to that joint dr. Jerome adams u. S. Surgeon general yesterday talked about the changes to the mask guidelines. Watch. We found there are a significant number of people who have asymptomatic spread of the virus and so the cdc changed its recommendation. This has not replaced social distancing. The most important thing to do is still to stay home. If you are going to wear a facial covering, please make sure you dont touch your face and that you wash your hands so you arent contaminating yourself. And leave the n 95 and surgical masks to the Healthcare Professionals. Because they need them to take care of high risk patients. A cloth facial cloferg is what the cdc recommends. That works just fine to protect other people from you because we are all in this together. Pete doctor, this is voluntary. How significant is this step . I think its pretty significant especially if up to 25 of people show no signs and just from talking, breathing, close contact you can pick it up. So i think its important. Especially if you are going to be out and about running your errands, picking up medications or food and then heading back home. I personally would wear one. Especially being here in new york. The key is, understanding that this is not a substitution for physical distancing and social distancing. We still have to adhere to the guidelines. This virus is still spreading from person to person. Im still seein seeing it dailyh patients come in. We havent quite made it down hill where we can relax on these guidelines. We still have to take precautions. One of my biggest concerns is if you use a bandanna or a scarf. You have to be careful fiddle ling with it. And also have to understand it also has to be washed. And if you are touching and your hands are dirt and fiddle ling with your face, you can enter the virus can enter your eyes, your nose, your mouth. We still have to take precautions. Only wear it if you have to leave the house. I think its a good idea because of the asymptomatic potential spread and we want to protect patients most vulnerable as well. I dont want to forget about those people. Pete absolutely. Doctor, we are hearing some decent news, good news coming out of italy. The idea that they have implemented a lot of these measures and cut down on the daily number of coronavirus cases. It appears they are flattening their curve. Here is a chart of italys daily increases. So, talk to us about what it means when the curve flattens. What comes you know, they had such a big hit, its reducing, what does that mean for italy and what could that mean for us . Oh, doctor,. Jillian having a hard time hearing you right now. Pete may have frozen on skype connection which is challenge these days when we are doing interviews this way. If we bring her back that is a hopeful graph right there. She has the expertise. We have read about it. She is on the front lines doing it. But when you look at those numbers its hopeful if we take the right steps, masks, social distancing, eventually the curve will flatten. Jillian i can tell you one of my child hood neighbors, she has lived in italy about 10 or 15 years now at this point. We actually had her on Fox Friends First a couple weeks before we started to seat stayathome guidelines and everything happening in the states. That was going on there in italy a few weeks ahead of the United States. She was telling me then how Grocery Stores were only letting a few people in at a time. You werent allowed outside. Had to stay in your homes. That is so positive when you look at that thinking thats where we could be in the next few weeks, the next few months. Our timeline we dont know yet. There is nothing but pot of when you look apositivitypositivityl. Griff folks that have had social distancing so long in italy because they were ahead of us that they are getting positive momentum to see Something Like this and i know you havent been on the phone a lot with her. But its got to be an uplifting moment and one we can aspire to. Jillian it is. How her hospitals were so overrun and the same story we have been talking about here. Except they were talking about it earlier over there. You have to remember the Hospital Systems are different. Everything is different in Different Countries of course. Its a glimmer of positive news. They are still not loosening up on their restrictions. They are all still social distancing and doing their part. Pete hopefully we can get dr. Nesheiwat back. I wanted to talk to her about the morale. How are the nurses and doctors around her doing. We will try to get her back. Jillian mean n. The meantime take a look at headlines two more members of the nypd family have died from covid19. School safety agent both dying. A department veteran since 2000 and moizy since 1994. 10 nypd mens members have died from cota. There are nearly 2,000 cases in the department. Thats up 53 since tuesday. More than 6,000 nypd officers are out sick. The Chicago Police department mourning its first covid19 loss. Officer marco defrank copassing away this week. The Department Says his death is considered in the line of duty. Best wishes to all those recovering. Walmart is limiting the number of shoppers inside the store. Reducing to roughly 20 as a way to enforce social distancing amid the covid19 pandemic. Thats about five customers per 1,000 feet. Shoppers will be counted as they enter through one door at every walmart location. At least 70 coronavirus cases are linked to one church. Health Officials Say dozens of people are diagnosed at the virus at the Bethany Slavic Missionary Church in san diego. Being spread at bible study and other meetings at parishioners claims. They say the claims are inaccurate. Singer pink revealing she has tested positive for covid19. The grammy awardwinning artist revealing her diagnosis on social distancing. She and her son were both showing symptoms of the virus. Thankfully she and her son have tested negative after quarterback aquarantining at hoo weeks. You like to hear the stories of recovery in the midst of this. Griff good on her. The coronavirus affecting the economy as 701,000 jobs were lost in march. Brian brenberg is answering your relief bill questions coming up after this break. Behold, our ancestors created six strings. Each for a different type of music.

Unemployment went up to 4. 4 . This as Mitch Mcconnell reveals a fourth relief bill is in the works as the administration works towards reopening the economy. Here to react is professor of business and economics at the Kings College inan tributor Brian Brenberg now in minnesota, population 5,000 there in linwood, minnesota. Brian, great to see you. React to how the market reacted yesterday. This is predictable but what does it mean . Yeah. It wasre the market wants reaction was pretty muted. It was not a great jobs report but the market didnt swing quite as wildly as it normally would. We know these job numbers are going to be bad in april. The question isnt are they going to be bad in april. Its when can we start coming out of this. Investors are really looking beyond that. They are trying to understand what are the Health Effects. When does that start to slow down. When might people be able to get back to work. And in the meantime how does this relief plan work . Checks getting out the door and Small Businesses getting the money they need . Thats the real key right now. Pete you are right. A lot of questions. You mentioned you have been inundated with tweets and texts from people trying to figure out exactly how to navigate it. Go straight to that. A couple emails from our viewers to ena. We got an email from bill. He says i was furloughed but not laid off. Can i still collect unemployment . Yeah. Thats a good question. There is some confusion around those terms. But, from the standpoint of unemployment, the answer is yes. Can you file for unemployment claim bill. So i would do that. One thing to be mindful of is the processing of those claims is going slowly so some people might find they need a cash bridge in the meantime. People should know that the cares act. The eliminated the penalty for taking money out of your retirement account early. So if thats a way for you to bridge the gap, be aware that you can do that without the normal penalty. Pete good point. All right. A question from kristin. What should i do if i know im going to have trouble paying rent next month and maybe for a few months. Does the coronavirus still help that . You know. It doesnt directly help that so this is something you are probably going to have to deal with on your own. But there is some good news here. Your landlord probably doesnt want to be looking for a tenant right now. They would like to keep you. My advice is go to your landlord early. A month early if you can let them know your situation. Offer some kind of repayment or payment plan that you can handle. They are probably going to be willing to work with you. And if they are, make sure to get whatever agreement you reach in writing. There is a way that you can probably handle this on your own and still make rent and keep your landlord happy. They dont want to be searching for tenants right now. Pete brian, great point. Last question. If im on Social Security but dont have to file a tax return, will i get a stimulus check . What do i need to do . The answer eileen is yes, you will. There was confusion about this earlier in the week. You will get that check. You dont have to do anything. It will come the same way it normally comes. You are just waiting for that check to arrive. Good news you dont have to do anything. Pete a lot of businesses asking questions but good ones. How much can i get . A lot of them optimistic that they can weather the storm in the shortterm providing we get past this curve. Still ahead, tracking covid19, how hospitals are using wearable fitness to stay ahead of the pandemic. Kurt the cyber guy explains next. One great steak. Thats why we have curbside takeaway and delivery on outback. Com because at outback steakhouse, were here to serve you. And i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

Former new England Patriot Tom Brady making a touchdown donation. Brady now a tampa buccaneer pledging 10 million meals to feed america during the pandemic. The nonprofit call the donation a, quote, amazing gift. Jillian . Jillian thats awesome. Thank you very much, griff. Popular fitness trackers used by everyday people. Maybe have you one an apple watch, a fit bit. Now they are being used by the medical community to track coronavirus. The question is how does it work . Here to fill us in is kurt the cyberguy. Good to see you this morning as always. Good morning. Good to see you as always. When we started researching this, jillian. I was amazed to find out these common devices wearable, apple watch or fit bit or sam sampson watch are able to help out with covid19 before a patient were to come down with covid19. Jillian how . During and then after. It comes down to this one thing. These are all very good at monitoring our heart rate. They do a lot more, some of them. But the heart rate apparently, when infection sets n our bodies, especially when we are sleeping what happens our heart rate goes up and goes to a certain kind of rhythm that doctors can tell and they can say hey, i suspect that that heart rate is going to indicate an infection going on. Right now what is that infection we are looking for covid19 . What these fitness trackers also monitor heart rate movement. That tells a lot if you are not moving a lot, then doctors can say at a hospital that are monitoring this hey, thats not normal and then your oximetry can also indicate your level of health. What this is really valuable for are the front line doctors and nurses. Because if they are wearing this technology and they are right there in the thick of it, and all of the sudden passively this technology can start alerting the other doctors around them and themselves that this infection might be coming into their lives, well, they can start that treatment earlier. Jillian can i jump in now. Understand how to isolate faster. Jillian kurt, can you hear me . With the most simple technology. Jillian i want to jump in i have a couple questions before we run out of time. A lot of people have devices Something Like the heart app. That has the heart on it . Is that where you see all this information . Number two, do you know how it would distinguish between droves and say juscoronavirus or everyr Something Like that . This is more of an indicator. Less of something diagnostic. Something that hints to someone who is monitoring this, usually a doctor. So as far as these apps go. There is like cardio gram which is an app. For the apple watch. That has this tool inside of it. And then you have a specialized band that many people would copd already have they are issued by a clinician. Will this could be helpful and came out with loop loop band. That information goes straight to the clinician. They could treat a hospital rather than bringing them in as a surge is occurring . Then the more valuable ones are the apps that the clinicians themselves are attached to. Jillian wow. This is fascinating. This could be a game changer. Kurt, thank you for breaking that down. Sorry to jump in on you. I had so many questions. I understand. I appreciate it. There is more at cyberguy. Com and jillian always good to see you. Jillian good to see you, kurt. Thank you very much.

The sba and treasury are working around the clock and our banking partners are really incredible and they are insuring that the money gets to Small Business asson as possible and Small Business take care of employees. Pete that was the president yesterday at the white house on day one of the payroll Protection Program which helps Small Businesses, more than 17,000 loans were processed, worth a total of 5. 4 billion at participating banks across the nation. Joining me now are some Small Business owners who plan on taking advantage of the program paul howard ceo of fiz Italian Restaurant and dickys barbecue pit. From your view as a business owner, how is this program working and how have you accessed it . Well, thanks. Its been a real game changer for us. Its going to provide much needed liquidity for the brand and franchisfranchises. The fact that we have been able to turn this around and get the money in peoples hands is fantastic. We filed yesterday. We are waiting on our money we are grateful the act went in. Pete what is this going to allow your business to do. Allow us to continue to pay our rent, pay our lenders, pay our employees. And keep the business up and operating. You know, we are seeing sales impacted from this anywhere between 35 and 45 . Interesthere is no profitabilit. Losing money by staying open. Help bridge the gap from this time period where we are today to where we are going to be in hopefully another four to six weeks. Pete laura, you are down in dallas. What are you seeing there at your barbecue restaurant . Really the same thing. This is such an Important Fund for us. If we didnt have it, we wouldnt be able to continue operations. We are down we really hit our floor 38 down. We have climbed back up to 31 down. But it was a very concerning first couple of days. And without this, we wouldnt be able to continue operations either. Pete you are able to continue paying your employees and you are hopeful this will pull you through this moment. What are you doing . Are you doing delivery and takeout at the moment but usually people are in the restaurant, right . Absolutely. We saw our dine in traffic shrinking five business days. It was unprecedented in its speed. Which is also why having the liquidity to continue operations is absolutely necessary. Because to lose that amount of business that quickly, there is no way to prepare for that we have switched our business to our online ordering. If we wouldnt have had that infrastructure we wouldnt have been able to evolve and adapt and assimilate as quickly as possible. We have gone from a channel that used to support only 36 of our Business Online and off premise to now supporting 90 of our business. That remaining 10 is in the few restaurants that can still take walkin traffic to go, which is very few. Pete karl, briefly, a lot of this happened quickly. Billions of dollars of application on a program that didnt exist before. How has it been navigating it with your bank . Yeah. So we reached out to quite a few banks because we wanted to be first in line the process changed over the last 72 hours. We have been staying on top of it. My team has done a great job of getting everything processed. We were just fortunate we got filed last night and we are in the queue. It wasnt that difficult. We set up an excel spreadsheet for our franchises to show them how to apply for the loan and what the ask should be. Probably what their forgive news is going to be. It wasnt that difficult. I was able to figure it out. [laughter] pete come on, you look like a smart guy. It was they made it as easy as they could. Pete karl, thats last worth from you unfortunately. I know you are doing things for front line Healthcare Workers as well. Laura, would you explain what you are doing for folks, also . Sure, absolutely. So our reachout to First Responders at the dick ca dicke. First responders, hospital folks and medical staff out there. We are doing food drops every day from all of our locations. Pete carl howard of fazolis and laura dickey. God bless. Good luck in these challenging times. Thank you. Thank you. Pete toss it over to jillian mele. Jillian good saturday morning to you.

Thank you, griff. Here is another fantastic story. As america continues to band together, one Nurse Practitioner in new jersey is doing his very best to spread a little cheer or a lot of cheer some days, delivering snacks and coffee to his fellow Healthcare Workers during this crisis. He even started a go fund me page raising thousands of dollars to treat these essential workers. Joining us now is Nurse Practitioner Atlantic Health chuck warwick. Good to see you. Good morning. Im great. Jillian how are you. Doing well as well as we can be during these times. Jillian how did you get the idea to do this . So, at first i started trying to feed the floors, you know, the icus of these different hospitals. And i noticed that there was such an outpouring of food and just donations from the community. And i tried to fit, you know, fill in the gaps and so i came up with, you know, individually packaged snacks and coffee. And i have just been raising money and delivering them to the three hospitals that i work at. Jillian whats the reaction been . I am sure they are so grateful . Every time i take a picture. Everybody is smiling underneath their masks. Its always great to bring that little bit of positivity in times like these. Jillian smiling underneath their masks that gave me chills when you said that they are doing so much hard work right now its incredible whats the most popular snack . Swedish fish. Anything salty and coffee. Those are the big three. Cheese its and things like that. Jillian what are the Community Members saying about it those helping and want to help donate. It seems to be giving some people who feel that they cant do anything when they are stuck at home and, you know, trying to do the social distancing, it gives them a little bit of an outlet to bring a little joy to these Healthcare Workers on the front lines, the nurses, the doctors and even ancillary staff such as cafeteria workers and cleaning people. Jillian chuck, what are the Healthcare Workers saying to you, the nurses, the doctors who are seeing this day in and day out. Hours upon hours. What do they say about their experiences . So, its very surreal. Thats usually the big one that i hear. Its something that we have all been training for but never actually expected. Seeing everybody gang together and people being taken out of their comfort zones and put into areas to help. Everybody is stepping up. Its been great. So, its surreal but everybody is ready. Jillian yeah. I know you want to use the spread snacks not covid with these pictures on social media. Yes. Jillian how can people donate if they want to help . Go to my go fund me and donate even 1. Im working on helping a colleague come up with bags for the Nurse Practitioners, nurses and doctors phones while they are there to cover it so they are able to use their phones but not touch them while they are working. Jillian thats great. Any help with that im trying to give that to overlook hospital to their nurses. Im workin working with erin tht krohn. Jillian you are a good man. Thank you for sharing that story with us. I appreciate it . Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. Jillian despite new york being the epicenter of the. Real estate has been reclarified. Meaning showings are now aloud. Wnowallowed. What heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. Prilosec otc uses a unique delayedrelease formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. It then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. With just one pill a day, you get 24hour heartburn protection. Prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Griff despite new york being the epicenter of the pandemic which has shuttered businesses across the state rae has been reclassified as essential. But it comes with limitations like only allowing virtual showings. So how does the industry move forward . Lets ask a partner at the firm pwc mitch rochelle, good morning to you. Very fascinating development. Explain why this happened. Well, griff, the reason why they deemed it essential is think about it you had a closing for your home that you have been waiting on for months scheduled for yesterday. Once it was deemed nonessential that close would go not have moved forward. Not just that closing people buying next house because they need the proceeds from the previous house. They had to open up the industry and all the players in the industry the Title Insurance companies the lawyers, the appraisers, the inspectors to get the business open it. Begs the question what be home sales Going Forward and what are open houses look like because they have been cancelled by and large across the state and across the country. Griff home sales down about 16 from march, i believe what impact do you think this will have . Will it be a positive impact to try to stop slowing sales . Whats interesting is a recent survey from realtor. Com 36 of home buyers felt the industry was in recession. But about 45 of the people said that a recession was actually good time for buying a home. Low interest rates. Less inventory on the market. There is desire to buy homes, the process of going to a house, Walking Around has been very disrupted because open houses, if they exist, are going to have to be virtual and we dont know how people are going to decide to buy a house when they cant walk in and open up a closet to see what it looks like. Griff lets talk a little bit about that. I believe i can show this. This is a statement from the empire state development. This is what they say on their website. Business can only be conducted if social distancing and other Public Health protocols are followed. Talk to me about the ways that this is going to change the way you buy and sell homes . The industry started to show houses online, you know, the websites for realtors had, you know, hundreds of pictures of some houses. But i think right now the actual virtual open house, which is just being developed ground up because if we cant walk into the house because the sellers of the house because sellers dont want people traipsing through it not knowing if they are infected is a game changer. We could see at least in the early part of the home buying season which really kicked off typically in april, we are going to see people doing most of their Home Shopping virtually, driving up to the home, maybe sort of Walking Around the perimeter. And then if they want to make an offer relying perhaps almost exclusively on just pictures and videos of what the house looks like indoors. Griff all right, mitch rochelle, thank you for joining us, we will be thinking about all the brokers and appraisers. Thanks for taking the time. You bet, griff, thanks so much.

House minority whip Steve Scalise. Former congressman Michael Waltz and, of course, dr. Nicole saphier. Pete absolutely, griff. Thank you very much for joining us as you mentioned from our nations capital. Jillian below me here in studio f. We are going to cover that Small Business aspect. I have been talking to a lot of Small Business owners eager to get access to these funds. They care for their employees. They realize this is temporary. No one knows precisely, jillian, you mentioned this earlier and you are so right. Where are we in this curve exactly. No one knows precisely and a lot of it depends on where you live. There is no national mandate. Certain hot spots being treated differently and businesses say hey i want to keep my employees on board. The money is there how quickly can i access it. Getting answers to that all morning long. Jillian for a lot of Small Business owners its tough for them to try to make the decision thats best for their company. A lot of them wondering i do try to get this loan, this money. Is it better for employees to lay off and collect unemployment. Every business is different. Pete absolutely. I talked to a Small Business owner, his name is greg, he works a franchise down in florida. Yesterday on the phone he said listen, i want to do this. I dont know if i qualify and for. What my business loan, how long does texas tend . Do i have to use my house as collateral . These are the very real things people are facing as we try to make decisions of what comes next. Jillian of course, nobody wants to lay off their employees. Thats the last thing anybody wants to do. Some Business Owners are up against it right now. We are going to try to give you the information and give you the facts and help you make that decision for your company. Griff very tough time. A lot of questions. Continued medical questions. Bring in dr. Marc siegel. Fox news medical contributor. Dr. Siegel, have you been great day in and day out. Morning, noon, and nighttime answering our questions. I think as we end this week, the big one everyone is asking today is, according to the cdc, new guidelines recommending americans wear a Face Covering. Should everyone now be thinking i showed it last hour. I am not going to do now because i cant do it well on tv. Pete you will have to do it once. Griff dr. Siegel showed take a tshirt. Rubber bands and around your face particularly when you go out in the areas where you might not be able to always maintain that 6foot distance like a Grocery Store. Like a pharmacy. Griff, i actually think. So i will tell you why. Two studies out over the last few days. One centers for Disease Control has determined that up to half of the people that have covid19 have no symptoms or minimal symptoms. And the other one shows that you can actually spread it by speaking. Not just by coughing or by sneezing that we thought. So the 6foot rule is good. But we need extra help. Now, i like these surgical masks and you have to fit them tight to your face. But, heres the problem. We need them for Healthcare Workers. More and more of us Healthcare Workers are now seeing covid19 patients. They are bringing us back to the wards, you know, we are getting more and more contact. The more patients there are. The more doctors and nurses and front line workers that are exposed. We need to reserve them for that cloth masks are those that you make yourself, they are not as good, its harder to get a seal. But they can block the respiratory droplets. Remember here the reason for the masks and the covering is not to protect you against the next person, its because you yourself may actually have it and not know it and, therefore, could spread it. We want to block as much of these droplets that are passing around as possible because its so easy to catch this. Jillian dr. Siegel, everybody keeps talking about you can make these masks at home. Im curious if you can even give a recommendation. What type of material that many people have at home might be best . A lot of people talking like griff tshirt. Bandannas. You cant get bandannas on amazon any time soon. I ordered some of those cloth like cotton table napkins because i thought at least can i fold that up and have it be layered. Whats the best option for people . You know, jillian, thats a fantastic question. Because people are also being told to wear carves. You will be surprised at my answer. I wanted to be as uniform as possible. I would rather that you have something that you make it out of a tshirt. All of that is better than nothing. But the more that it actually looks and feels and acts like a mask, here is the key about a mask. Its a seal. You want to have a seal so that there is no air or space between the mask and your skin. Because if there is a space, guess what happens, the droplets get out the side or if it gets wet too easily. Scarfs sound great but if it is getting wet it can accumulate virus. You cant wash it as easily. You want something disposable, easy to wrap and clean and has a good seal on it. Pete doctor, it is voluntary. We stressed that yesterday as you are going out. I want to get to that study real quick. A study done based on an iceland, based on italy and a cruise ship where they tested everyone. It showed that 50 of people as you mentioned at the top shown no symptoms at all even if they had gone through the entire coronavirus process. Does that give us hope that more people in our own country or across the world have gone through this and the death rate is actually lower . Walk through that for us. Pete, that is an extremely important point. I agree with that totally. I have thought that from the beginning. I think there is a large amount of asymptomatic people who have had it and that means that over the months, not right now, but over the months, you are going to see community and herd immunity where everybody thats been exposed to it ends up becoming a barrier to it. Thats whats going to happen over time. I think its another message that when we see people that are very sick in the hospitals and even god forbid people that are dying from this. Thats not the vast majority of people. I agree with that study. I want to add to that that i take care of a lot of covid19 patients by telemedicine they dont all have the classic symptoms. A lot of them dont have the cough, the shortness of breath and fever. So you may have a very, very mild case. And you may not even be diagnosed properly. Thats actually in a way very good news that the death rate is actually much lower than we think. Pete yes, it is. Jillian dr. Siegel, stay with us. We want to get your opinion on this. Lets go ahead and talk about this for a second. President trump sparring with 3 m after the company exported thousands of n95 masks overseas. The white house now ordering them to stop as American Healthcare workers ask and continue to ask for these much needed supplies. Garrett tenney joins us live with more on that. Garrett . Jillian, the president and the devil rays as a whole is really going after 3 m claiming the company is not doing enough to support the country against the coronavirus. On thursday, President Trump invoked the defense production acts forcing the country to prioritize orders by the u. S. Government for its n 95 masks. And on friday he still was not satisfied with 3 ms response. Im not happy with 3 m. Im not happy. The people that dealt with them directly are not happy with 3 m. We will see whether or not we do. I heard what he had to say today. We are not happy with 3 m. Go ahead. Earlier in the day 3 m criticized the white house for previously asking the company to stop sending face masks to canada and latin america which largely depend on 3 m. The ceo pushed back on the president s suggestion that the company was involved in price gouging for the masks which are desperately needed by hospitals and First Responders across the world. But the white house trade advisor Peter Navarro who is leading up the defense production act told Tucker Carlson he is not si sympathetio the companys complaints. The other idea out there that 3 m is not doing all it can to fight price gouging and unauthorized reselling is absurd. We are doing everything we can to fight covid19 and support the Healthcare Workers here at home. Stop whining and just produce masks. Get them to the american people. 3 m has been doing nothing but dissembling. You cant get any data out of them. 3 m says its already ramped up production overseas and now received permission to export 10 Million Masks from its factory in china to come here to the u. S. Back to yall. Pete garrett, thank you very much. Doctor, to you, they have been up against what appears to be price gouging from 3 m. What in the world are they defending this idea that they would send masks overseas at this moment . Help us out here. Thats shocking. And its really good to see the president clamping down on this. And this is exactly what the defense production act is designed for. Companies its a disgrace that a company would consider that. We have enough trouble getting supplies in from overseas right now, as you might imagine, supplies from china are cut off. By the way, pete, thats impacting medications we usually get from there and the whole focus now you can see the focus on making things here at home. Its an absolute disgrace that 3 m would do that and other companies would do that they should be called out on it and im glad they are. We need the masks here. Jillian dr. Siegel, do you see this being a point where we are going to Getting Better about creating a bigger stockpile for the future . We better. There is something called pandemic preparedness, jillian. We didnt take it serious enough after other Health Scares after ebola. After swine flu. We got serious about it, but then we abandoned did. Even sars back in 2003 was a wakeup call tore coronavirus. We have the money now, but we are coming in very late in the process here. This is a wakeup call for pandemic preparedness. We cannot let this happen again. We are talking about a virgin population that hasnt seen a virus that is very dangerous. And its obviously swept across the country. We absolutely should have the Healthcare System prepared for that and we didnt. That includes the centers for Disease Control by the way. Pete absolutely, doctor, we didnt get a chance get to it. Healthcare providers treating uninsured reimbursed by the federal government. Good news for everyone involved on that front as well. Dr. Siegel, thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it . Thank you, guys. Jillian now lets talk about some of your other headlines we are following. Anyone who comes in contact with President Trump or Vice President pence will be tested for coronavirus. The white house announcing visitors will be given a rapid test that provides results in 15 minutes. The move is being made to protect President Trump and the Vice President from the virus. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sign signing order to seize ventilators. He wants to take the equipment from hospitals and medical institutions not dealing with covid19 sending them to other places in desperate need. If they want to sue me for borrowing their excess ventilators to save lives, let them sue me. Jillian cuomo says facility also either get the ventilators back or be reimbursed. The doj now ordering federal prisons to begin using home confinement and expedite the release of certain inmates. Attorney general william barr saying in a memo that vulnerable inmates must be moved out of institutions. 91 inmates and 50 Staff Members inside federal correctional facilities have contracted covid19. Hobby lobby closing all of its stores and furloughing employees in the pandemic. Stores initially defied some states stay at homeowners by staying only. Ohio attorney generals delivered a seetion and desist letter to stores and Police Forced other locations to close. Employees will not get paid. Thats your headlines, guys. Pete all right, jillian. Thank you. Still ahead, many of americas truckers working around the clock to deliver critical supplies. They are struggling to find a place to eat, rest, and refuel. Up next, we will hear from a driver about the strain on her industry and how others can help on fox friends. You ever wish you werent a motaur . Sure. Sometimes i wish i had legs like you. Yeah, like a regular person. No. Still half bike half man, just the opposite. Oh, so the legs on the bottom and motorcycle on the top . Yeah. Yeah, i could see that. For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Like you do sometimes, grandpa . Well, when you have copd, it can be hard to breathe. So my doctor said. Symbicort can help you breathe betterstarting within 5 minutes. It doesnt replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. Symbicort helps provide significant improvement of your lung function. Symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It should not be taken more than twice a day. It may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking it. Symbicort could mean a day with better breathing. Watch out, piggies ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. And the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. Help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. Leave bleeding gums behind. Parodontax. Did you know diarrhea is often causedtry pepto diarrhea. Food . Pepto® diarrhea is proven effective to treat symptoms, and it also targets the cause of diarrhea. The 3 times concentrated liquid formula coats and kills bacteria to relieve diarrhea. While the leading competitor does nothing to kill the bacteria, pepto® diarrhea gets to the source, killing the bad bacteria. So, try pepto® diarrhea, and remember to have it on hand every time you travel. Also try pepto®bismol liquicaps for onthego relief. Griff as the coronavirus shuts down more communities across the nation conditions for Truck Drivers working tirelessly to deliver essential supplies are worsening. Our next guest, one of the many drivers running into more and more closed facilities often noted by signs like the one seen here becca coons a truck driver for cargo transporters joins me now. Good morning to you, becca. How are you doing out there. What are the conditions out there like for you drivers . Well, we are really seeing kind of a 5050 divide where some people are really stepping up. They are increasing their sanitation methods. They are really trying to go a little extra mile to make sure that we have what we need. But then we are also seeing people who are kind of stepping back. They are shutting their restrooms down. Shutting their facilities down. They are not letting truckers inside the buildings. They are not letting us use the restrooms or even to shower. Its definitely become an even bigger divide than it was before. Griff well, that is troubling to hear that some are turning away because you are the backbone of our supply line right now the situation worsening going to be more and poor important drivers like you. Another challenge you are facing and that is parking. Tell me about that. Well, i actually just heard that some more rest areas are being closed and i have noticed that some of the rest areas that are not being closed they are kind of shutting off areas of the rest area. So even if we can get in, there is limited parking. There is half the parking there used to be. And some of the weigh stations are opening for Truck Parking 24 7. They are not actually running as weigh stations right now which is a huge help. Then you run into the same problem maybe they put like a poor that potty out but then there is no access to a sink. We also have issues. We want to stay as clean as possible on the road, of course. So we have to make the decision of, you know, how can we handle this . How can we do this in a safe manner . Griff bekah, if any member of the president s task force is watching or anyone in the federal government, what do you need from them . How can they help you today right now . Today, right now, better facilities. Actually, that would be the best thing to do right now. I know there is some kind of like hand mobile washing stations and that would be amazing. If we could just and to open up the rest areas because the one im actually at right now is talking about they might close down, but its very frustrating to hear that this is one of the hastens that i absolutely thought would remain open. So, just relief for the rest areas and help for to keep the supply line moving to the rest areas. Griff bekah, very quickly because we are running out of time. If the federal government were to put pressure on the states to open up the rest areas, the weigh stations the inspection sites to give you a place to use the restroom and park your vehicle you would be better off . Absolutely. You know, its one of the things we face year around, its just gotten so much worse lately. Its kind of a real gamble to plan to park somewhere and then get there and then there is nothing there. We really face legal challenges as well at that point. Griff bekah coons thank you for you and others are doing throughout the country today. Get the message out there. Thank you.

D. When you vote. On to this story. Can you take the teacher out of the classroom, but you cant keep them from helping out their students. This south dakota teacher going above and beyond by bringing his lesson to students front porch after struggling with algebra homework. Joining us is Madison Middle School teacher chris waba and sixth Grade Student Reilly Anderson and her dad josh who took that photography. All of you, good morning. Welcome. Thank you so much for being here. Chris, i want to start with you. Good morning. You teach algebra. You are used to being in front of a classroom. You are adapting to the online environment. First of all, whats that been like and second of all, where did the idea come from to go up to their front door with social distancing and deliver the lesson . Well, i do. I teach sixth grade math at Madison Middle School and we were doing some algebra lessons online and reilly and the other students we have been having online lessons through zoom and through some other program that we have put out there. And it was just one of those situations on the day that reilly and i had been talking back and forth with emails. And it was just a deal where she was just not understanding this function problem and graphing. And i was upstairs and i looked at my phone and i got an email from her. And i just looked over in the corner and there was a white board sitting there that i brought home from school. And riley lives downtown street i grabbed a marker and said i will be right there. I walked over and rang the doorbell. And thats kind of how it all started. [laughter] pete riley, i have got to ask you, did you expect your teacher to show up and how much more helpful was it, algebra is tough, i get it. How much more helpful was it when he showed up right there. It was really helpful because i am better in front of or in front of teacher because im more visual learning. And over an email i guess i didnt get it. Pete listen, i mean most of us dont get algebra let alone over email i get it. Josh, as the father. You came home apparently while this was going on. How surprised were you and taking that photo, you know, its really resonated with a lot of people. Well, i have to admit my wife actually took the photo but when we came home, we saw mr. Waba on the front porch wondering what was going on. Not worried in any way because he is a good friend and a neighbor, obviously and her teacher. But, we obviously got filled in when we got in here and my wife took the picture and shared those with me. So i just put them out there because i thought it was a neat thing. And i guess i just wanted to let people know around here that a guy like mr. Waba would do what he would do. It was a funny situation that went a lot bigger than i thought it would. Pete josh, dont worry about it. Husbands are used to taking credit for our wifes work any way. Chris, i have got to ask you. How has it been trying to adapt to the online environment as a teacher . Well, i think, you talk to any teacher across the country, and we all want to be in front of our classrooms and doing what we love to do there and be with the kids and teach whole group lessons. But the online stuff has been kind of an eye opener and its been a challenge at the same time. You know, you switch from waking up every morning and going and standing and doing stuff live to now planning time to maybe videotape a lesson or schedule time for zoom lessons so kids can come in live and ask questions oneonone. The prep has been a lot different. I know, this is a nervous time. And teachers are just out there just trying to do the right thing all the time. And we were just happy to be able to get something started. Pete all right, rylee you are not allowed to look for porch exercises every day. Pretty cool you got it. Any message you want to send to your teacher . Yeah. Thank you. And i really appreciate it. Pete i love it . You are welcome, rylee. Pete i have seen teaching my kids in my own home.

Morgan snirpg stories like sick for more Inspiring Stories log on to foxnews. Com. Griff National Guardsmen called up to respond to the coronavirus. Including congressman Michael Waltz. He takes off his suit and puts on his boots. The former green beret. I teased you as a former congressman. You are not leaving congressman. You are still a congressman. In fact, remarkably and admirablely the first green beret as well ever elected to congress. What are you doing . Well, i was in uniform this week with the National Guard out at one of the covid testing sites. They actually are putting one out in fedex field up in washington, d. C. Theres a lot of planning, guys that go behind these sites in terms of bringing together state officials and law enforcement, local health officials. The state folks as well. The army corps of engineers. Military medical capability and then we have to look at where are they located, what kind of transportation do people have to get there, how far away from hospitals, what kind of population density. So, basically, just helping with that planning. We also have the secretary of the army out who has done a phenomenal job of bringing not only the National Guard and reserves but the individual Ready Reserve and the army corps of engineers which has 15,000 of its folks out setting up hospital and testing sites all over the country. This is unprecedented. In these mobilizations. Normally in a hurricane or wildfires, have you one or two states you can really focus those assets. We have over 30 states now. And i think by the end of this crisis we will get up to all 50, which hasnt happened since world war ii. Pete representative, you are not an ordinary Lieutenant Colonel. I imagine the ability to gather that kind of information and use it for your constituents is amazing. Thank you for your service. Thats great stuff. Its bringing that ontheground perspective back to legislating as well. Very quickly, i just got promoted. So now we are colonel. 24 years. Pete i stand corrected. Jillian how dare you. 24 years of service so were going strong. Pete you really outrank me now. I have got to get your take on one more story here. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the firing of a navy captain. Captain bret kosher of the uss roosevelt. Right. Pete a lot of conflicting information here. He has been moved out of his position. I have talked to folks close to the situation who feel like he raised alarms about a port call in vietnam that if we do this we will bring covid potentially on the ship. Is he in charge of the flagship of this fleet. He has moved on. You saw the reaction from his sailors who clearly love this guy. Has the navy gone wrong here . Well, this is incredibly difficult because you want whether you are the seal of the ship or in my case commanded green berets you always want your command team to feel like they can raise the alarm bells if something is going sideways. You want them to be always in a position where theyre taking care of their soldiers or their sailors. I think in this case the navy had a problem with how he did it. I have concerns there as well. The fact that it went public so easily. This isnt just a cruise ship, this is a strike group, Nuclear Weapons on board. And nuclear reactors. You cant just abandon the thing. And i dont like that our adversaries, particularly the chinese, now know that this carrier is sidelined. Pete, this is a much bigger issue. We spend, you know, wearing my congressional hat, billions of dollars defending these assets, missile fleet, different types of ships, and, yet, with a wellplaced bioterror attack you can take the Strategic Asset out. I think the other thing is showing we have to get point i think we are going to get more information. I think the congress is going to demand more information on how this went down and how it leaked is what im very concerned about. But, you know, the other piece, we have to get point of care testing out there very quickly. Im worried about our Ballistic Missile submarines with our nuclear deterrence. Our missile silos. I did talk to the head of special operations commands, our very top tiered assets have been isolated off so they can go, that package can go anywhere in the world if called upon. But, you know, this is in terms of biowarfare, that the chinese have been developing, this should be a real wakeup call in our broader strategic sense outside of just this one incident. Jillian well continue to follow that. In the meantime before we let you go, can we get your opinion, update the world was watching earlier this week as we saw multiple cruise ships with sick passengers and other passengers displaying symptoms docking in florida. That ate up much of the news cycle for a couple days there whats the update there in florida . Well, i certainly understand, you know, Governor Desantis reluctance to add more kind of fuel to the fire in terms of south florida, which is where the hot spot is right now. At the end of the day, we have americans on board. We cant leave people just kind of dying out on ships. This is america. Lets bring them in and the Sheriffs Department down there have been escorting those individuals that need immediate hospitalization but then also getting them back home and getting them quarantined back home on charter flights where they can be fully ice lighted and kept away from the general populist. Thats the plan that both the cruise ships and local officials came together with. Going forward, we cant turn into a magnet for these ships. Maybe other states could share some of the responsibility to have cruise ships ports like louisiana or georgia or other locations to kind of spread this out so that we dont overwhelm the resources in south florida.

His son and granddaughter join us live after the break. Jillian look at this. The coronavirus isnt stopping one michigan grandfather from going the extra mile or four of them to see his newborn granddaughter literally. He is getting his exercise in by walking to his son joshs house just to see baby h through the glass door. Thank you for being here. Oh and eliona is here. This photo has touched hundreds if not thousands of people across the country. Josh, im curious if you expected this response. Its been great. I mean, when i posted it, i didnt realize how many people were in the same boat. And just hearing complete strangers reach out and say really really nice things. Its been fun to give encouraging words back and forth. Jillian absolutely. Dan, i know you can see your granddaughter through, you know, the screen right now. You see her through the glass. I mean, it must be hard to have a newborn granddaughter and i know you have only been able to hold her twice. Yeah. Its disappointing to not be there. But like josh so eloquently said in what he wrote. Its just for now. And its part of our making a difference in caring for our community. And, of course, my caring for elliana. Jillian that photo, we can see you are smiling. Tell me what you are thinking. Well, i would sure love to hold her and i love her. And i have to do it through glass right now. Jillian your wife works at a local hospital. You understand you are taking all the precautions that you can josh, elliana is absolutely beautiful. Oh my gosh. What a precious face.

I understand have you got a baby there what is it like to have your father walk four miles to see her, to see that precious face . It means the world. He is a pretty loyal faithful gym goer. So when our local gym closed, and he said im going to work out by walking. And is it okay if i stop by and look at her through the glass . Of course its like the only way he gets to see her and she gets to see him. He called it a reward if he works out he gets his reward. Jillian josh, when you look at that photo, what do you see . Oh its my favorite picture of him. Can you just see how happy he is.

At Fisher Investments were clearly different. The cdc is advising the use of nonmedical cloth Face Covering as an additional voluntary Public Health measure. So its voluntary. Griff a fox news alert. President trump announcing new cdc recommendations on face masks. Americans now urged to cover their faces with nonmedical cloth as coronavirus cases grow across the u. S. Jillian President Trump says he will not be wearing a face mask as the guidelines are voluntary at this point. Wear one myself. I think wearing a face mask as i greet president s, Prime Ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i dont know. Somehow i dont see it. I want to emphasize that the cdc is not recommending the use of medical grade or surgical grade masks. Pete covid19 cases now surpassing 1 Million Worldwide. More than 270,000 of those right here in the u. S. New york city the outbreaks epicenter seeing largest 24 hour spike in both deaths and cases. So certainly not good news there but we knew this spike was going to happen. Joined this morning jillian mele right below me here in studio f and Griff Jenkins is washington, d. C. How are you doing this morning. Griff, how are things in washington . Griff things in washington are as best as can be. The mayor here yesterday saying one in seven residents here, guys, is going to be infected. Hopefully she is not correct in that prediction. But, it is springtime. People are out there sneezing. My wife suffers from it. She has been sneezing. When we listen to the cdc and the president yesterday and these guidelines about having a cloth or some sort of Face Covering to keep you, if you happen to be, an unknowing carrier keep from you infecting someone else. Maybe this is the time to really dig down and think about, hey, im going out to the store. Im going out to the pharmacy. I might want to cover my face, at least during that period when you are, perhaps, not within six feet or distancing yourself six feet of other people. Jillian a lot of people who may be asymptomatic it is important to wear a mask. One you can make it home. That is going to help if you are sick and dont know it. Thats going to help you if you are out talking, cough or sneeze to not transmit those particles to other people. Any line of defense we can take right now is going to be better than nothing. Pete you are right. We did an interview with ken isaacs samaritans purse just a few football fields behind me helping mount sinai. That christian charity. So many people pitching. In we will cover that medical aspect as well as the economy this morning. We have some great guests still lined up. Stay with us labor secretary Eugene Scalia on the White House Task force.

Most of the work i do and you guys do is at home. We are here reporting this morning and we will do the best we can. Jillian absolutely. Pete for sure. Small american businesses crushed by the pandemic now getting major relief. The Trump Administration says billions of dollars in loans are already processed under the new white house program. Garrett tenney joins us live as we learn a fourth Coronavirus Relief bill is possibly in the works. Garrett, good morning. Well, good morning, yall. This first day of this new program was really plagued by frustration and confusion for a lot of Small Business owners who are trying to apply for these loans and get some muchneeded help. The new payroll Protection Program offers loans up to a Million Dollars for Small Businesses to cover payroll, rent and other expenses. And if those companies dont lay off any employees, the loans can be completely forgiven. Despite the issue that many faced, the treasury Department Says more than 17,500 loans were approved on the programs first day, totaling at least 5. 4 billion. Heres Vice President mike pence touting the program on friday. We have seen over a billion and a half dollars in loans go out through the Paycheck Protection Program today. We are literally working hour by hour, day by day to make sure that patients, families, and Healthcare Providers have the equipment and the support that they need. A recent survey by Goldman Sachs highlights why those loans are so crucial with 96 of Small Businesses saying they have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak 75 reporting fewer sales. And just over half saying they wont be able to survive more than a few weeks or months without help. Now, hundreds of thousands of Small Business owners are expected to apply for these loans. And the hope is that by monday, the process will get easier once big the bigger banks start accepting loans and they figure out exactly how they want this process to be working. Back to yall. Jillian its a frustrating process. Garrett teny, thank you. Pete so intensely personal. I have been a Party Conversations with dozens of Small Business owners. Multiple conversations with banks. Does my company qualify . What types of employees qualify . Is it just w2s or 1099s and 501 c 3s, charities that employ people. Do they qualify . Most of which do, there is still some confusion there. I know the Administration Working very hard. What is universal in the sentiment im getting though is optimism that, hey, washington did respond. This money will eventually reach my company and hopefully i can do best by my employees. We it Brian Brenberg on the program earlier i talked about the impact of this watch. We know these job numbers are going to be bad in april. The question isnt are they going to be bad in april. Its when can we start coming out of this. So investors are really looking beyond that they are trying to understand what are the Health Effects . When does that start to slow down . When might people be able to get back to work . And in the meantime, how does this relief plan work . Are checks getting out the door . Are Small Businesses getting the money they need . Thats the real key right now. Pete is it weeks and a month . We can handle that that bridge we can do. Any longer than that, it gets harder for businesses. Griff thats a good point. Pete, we heard in the early days about a predicted v recovery. Now not many people are saying that its going to be. Its going to be longer because as we are seeing the cases are getting worse. But, you know, its gonna be, at some point the conversation shifting from this escalation in terms of the health risk to really the unbelievably and perhaps unprecedented Economic Impact were going to take and we are going to start having to listen to some of the economists who really can help us chart the uncharted pat forward. Jillian absolutely. Guys, while we continue to follow that lets talk about, this the new recommendations from the cdc about face masks. You know, about a month ago when this started to ramp up where everyone was told dont wear the masks because we need them for the medical workers. That is true of the surgical masks and n95 masks. Buff new information has come out. Go ahead and take a listen to the u. S. Surgeon general dr. Jerome adams on what he has to say about this. We found that there are a significant number of people who have asymptomatic spread of the virus. And so the cdc changed its recommendations. This does not replace social distancing. The most important thing to do is still to stay home. If you are going to wear a facial covering, please make sure you dont touch your face and that you wash your hands so you arent contaminating your is and leave the n95 and surgical masks to the Healthcare Professionals because they need them to take care of high risk patients. A cloth facial covering is what the cdc recommends. That works just fine to protect other people from you because we are all in this together. Griff you know, guys, adam has also put a video out. Can you go look at it cdc twitter thing. 45 seconds long. And he talks here you go. He is literally showing that you can take a t shirt and thats what i did, cut it up. And you make a square. You fold it on the ends and then do another fold here to sort of tighten it. Obviously defending on your face, you cover your mouth and nose. Add rubber bands on each side homemade effort typically in the critical, critical period might going out and be around people at a distance. You cant afford it at the supermarket or pharmacy. Good on th him for doing that. Jillian if you dont have rubber bands out there. You have a lot of people anyway have something that you can use. Look, using Something Like this, having one line of defense is better than nothing at this point. And as everybody keeps recommending, we all have to do our part. So if we can, lets do it. Pete no. Thats right. The president also elm phase f. A. A. Sizing the social distancing still stands. If you are sick, stay home. All of those things still apply. But, when you are going out, maverick is a good idea. The president also yesterday talking about the role of the military. Expanding and how the army is getting involved in addressing this health crisis. He talked about the mobilization of people inside the army with particular skill sets. Here is part of what the president said yesterday. We are expanding the role of the armed forces in our response effort. Because no one is better prepared to win a war than the United States military. And we are in a war. The invisible enemy. Over 9,000 army retired medical personnel have answered their nations call. The army corps of engineers assessed 100 facilitie facilitil 50 states. Inaugural assisting very strongly, the statesy in many cases unable to have the delivery capability from warehouses and other places that we put the supplies. Pete you know, guys, always in the fight and especially if you have that type of skill set. Doesnt surprise me that people who are retired are now going back into uniform or back into the front lines to help out at this moment. Griff pete, you can talk a little bit about this. I got to watch it a little bit up close when i would embed with the army over the years. Really, no one does logistics better on such a grand scale. Thats why so many of the former army logistical folks end up working for giant Companies Like amazon and others because of that specific skill set, explain. Pete yeah. Moving people and equipment in dangerous places with a lot of variables is not an easy thing to do. Especially but what helps is when you have a common mission, come set of values and you have been trained on skill sets. Whether its engineers or logistics or medical, it doesnt surprise me that military personnel right now are stepping up to say i may have been out of uniform for while. The army or the navy or marine corps or the air force trained me to take care of people. Im going to sign back up. We asked representative Michael Waltz now a full bird colonel about this army mobilization. Heres what he had to say. Army corps of engineers which has 15,000 of its folks out setting up hospital and testing sites all over the country. This is unprecedented in. Normally in hurricane or wildfire one or two states can you focus those assets. We have 30 states now. I think by the end of this crisis we will get up to all 50, which hasnt happened since world war ii. Jillian hey, pete, can i ask you something . You fought for our country grover seas. Have you done a heck of a job. You know what its like being over there battling. I am curious what its like being over there battling knowing you are there protecting us at at home. This fight sat home. Family members out there day in and day out serving . Pete almost feels like a deployment mind set brought home. A deployment you dont know when its going to end with an enemy that you dont know precisely where it is. A lot of things are the same. That uncertainty that families feel when someone is deployed overseas. You are feeling a lot of the same right now with Healthcare Workers on the front line. Jillian we thank you them every day. A look at your headlines now. Other headlines we are following. Two more members of the nypd family have died from covid19. School safety agent louis albino and auction as you will larry Police Lieutenant pierre moise dying from the virus. Albino a veteran since 2,000. Moise since 1994. 10 members have died of covid19. There are more than 2,000 coronavirus at the department. Up 53 since tuesday. More than 6,000 nypd officers are out sick. The Chicago Police department warninmorningmourning its first9 death. His death is considered in the line of duty. A detroit bus driver dies of coronavirus after posting this viral video on social media. Jason hargrove calling out a woman who coughed multiple times on the bus without covering her mouth. Citys mayor saying hargroves death should resonate with everyone. He knew the risk but went to work anyway. We will get through. This the uplifting message comes as people end their second week of stayathome order in california. Guys . Pete thank you, jillian. Coming up nine states refusing to implement stayathome orders as President Trump says its up to each governor. As things improve, should he consider a national mandate.

Close to 90 anyway. , states we are talking about are not in jeopardy. I would leave it to the governors. I like that from the standpoint of governing. Jillian good saturday morning. Welcome back. President trump resisting calls to issue a national stayathome order as coronavirus cases surge in the u. S. Most states have issued formal orders, only 9 have not. So what impact does this have on slowing the spread . Here to discuss is family and emergency medicine doctor and Fox News Contributor dr. Janette nesheiwat back this morning. Thanks for being here again. Yes. Good morning. Jillian good morning. What do you think of this . Do you think we should have a national stayathome order . Do you think that would help . Its not a one size fits all, jillian. I do think its imperative that the governors and our country we are proactive and not wait for disaster to strike and not wait for us to see a peak and increase and spike in the number of cases. But, at the same time, i understand the states. They are trying to balance saving lives without having to destroy the economy which can lead to depression and anxiety and increased number of suicides. But, you know, for example, one of these states, arkansas, i actually did some medical training in arkansas. Its a rural area. Lots of greenland. Beautiful mountains. So, were not going to see the same number of cases there as we are here in new york city. So i think its great that our president is giving that power and flexibility to the states. If we see a spike of cases and action isnt taking taken then yeah i think its important to have National Lockdowns just to save lives. Jillian severing day by day now. Take a look at messages from viewers if we can. Email from patrick. He asks face masks are out of stock on storessenned and union line what can be done to get face masks available for the public especially seniors. Thats important. Sure, again, this is not a mandatory advisory. This is just a recommendation if you are going to leave your home to run anner rand, thats essential. For example, picking up medications or food. But, you can actually use Something Like a covering, like a cloth covering, a scarf. A bandanna leave n95 and surgical masks for Healthcare Workers. Those diagnosed with covid or if you are going to leave your home for an important matter, then you could put anything such as a cloth covering. It doesnt have to actually be a mask. You can make these items at home. You can use i heard you speaking earlier, can you used layered items, layered cloth. Just important to understand that you have to wash them or replace them because they will be contaminated. And you also have to be careful not fiddle ling with them because you potentially would have germs on your fingers you could spread to your eyes, ears and mouth. Even covering your nose and mouth, your eyes are still an entry. I had a patient who i believe had coronavirus pink eye. Picked it up from his son. Jillian dr. Jerome adams Surgeon General putting a video how can you make a mask with something at home that you use. Dr. Nesheiwat, as always, good to see you. Thank you so much for everything. Good to see you too. Thank you, jillian. Jillian new durable a Company Shifts to making masks that can be washed and reused up to 30 times. The ceo of nufabrx explains how they do it.

Good morning, pete. Pete good morning. Thanks for having me on. Yeah, so this is all about how we help make a difference. We were tired of sitting on the sidelines here and so what we have created is a reusable copper mask. In watching the news we have been hearing President Trump talk about the issue with disposable masks. What if we had a reusable one that the doctor, healthcare professional could take home at the end of every day, wash it and have a good one in the morning and so we have shifted all of our production. Its been incredible linking of arms of the entire North Carolina textile industry from medical to theyre are a group o facial. Get these out there to people who need them most. Pete jordan, these are not the type of masks for individual to use at home. These can be used in hospitals. Healthcare workers and front line. You are meeting the need of the folks right in the middle of it. So we are trying to provide these to whoever needs them most. We are completely transparent. All of the data is available on our website. We want to let the Healthcare Professionals and experts decide what they want to do with these. Copper q texan at this bacterial mask and, again, reuse it. Our hope is that folks like nypd, hospitals, we have equipped our whole iloka tabba county government officials these are currently being used all over the country. Pete talk about the impact on your business. This is not what you normally make. Have you shifted. Are you adding employees, keeping them . Talk about the Business Environment for you. Absolutely. So, our Core Technology nufabrx is around controlled delivery of an greed. Pain relief other other through clothing. We felt that naturally equipped to us make a reusable mask. We have coupled our technology with the partnership throughout North Carolina to make these masks. Pete and you are partnering. Who is getting them . How are you distributing them . Are you going straight to hospitals . Are you working through a statebased system . Can individuals get them . You know, how are you built, model . Yeah, so we have been getting calls left and right. These are going out overnight to hospitals, professionals, government workers as quickly as we can. We are pryin prioritize our heae workers. You can in general we are trying to prioritize for our First Responders. We have seen a huge increase in the number of new hires and jobs for our business. As we scale up to try to created new masks for people. We are on the cusp of making 250,000 to 500,000 a week of these masks. Pete 500,000 a week is a massive conviction. Jordan, thank you so much. The organization the company is called nufabrx. Thank you so much. Appreciate it . Thanks for having me. Pete you got it. Still ahead. More than 700,000 jobs last last month. As Small Businesses get some relief from the stimulus bill. Is it enough to keep our economy running. Were going to ask somebody that knows. Labor secretary Eugene Scalia joins us on that coming up next. Hi, im bob harper, and i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. We had the strongest economy in the world. We had our best ever. We had probably the best economy in the history of the world, bigger than china, bigger than anybody. And one day we have to say close it up, stop. Everybody go home. And, do you know what . Its pretty tough to do that. Griff President Trump reacting to the impact the coronavirus is having on the u. S. Economy. Pete 7,001,00701,000 jobs lost. As the efforts will it be enough to rebound. Jillian steve scalia joins us now and talk to the american public. We appreciate it . My pleasure. Jillian whats your message to the many of americans struggling out there right now and dont know what to do . Well, let me start with what the president was saying in the clip you just ran. We did put out job numbers yesterday. And on thursday. Which were distressing. High unemployment filings. Just a month ago we put out a very strong report, which was similar reports we have been putting out for a couple of years. As the president said, we just had a robust booming economy. But we have had to take these Public Health measures. So there is a Silver Lining there which is that we start from a very strong foundation. We have policies in place that have been working for our economy. And what we need now is really tight discipline and adhering to the Public Health measures so we can beat this virus and get back to work quickly. I think we have the ability to do it. Pete mr. Secretary, whats your message to Small Businesses . They are reaching out to get these loans. There has been some confusion. There is optimism that it will ultimately be helpful. Some of the bigger banks have been slow. And they are not yet online. What do you set expectations for people that are looking for help right now . Yeah. Another Silver Lining in what we are seeing right now is how quickly the president and the government have responded, including this very large relief bill the president signed a week ago friday and that did include 350 billion in relief. Not just for Small Business, but for their employees. About half of our workers in this country work for Small Businesses. This is 350 billion that are loans available to Small Businesses to tide them through what we are dealing with right now and to keep their employees on payroll and if they keep them on payroll, these loans are largely forgiven. So i think thats a really valuable lifeline. I believe about 3 billion in loans were processed yesterday. Banks were coming online and making them available in the course of the day. Its a promising program, as well as the other relief in that legislation, including Cash Payments to taxpayers. Griff mr. Secretary, let me ask you, may 8th is the next jobs report coming out. That, of course, we anticipate will be much worse. Perhaps unprecedented likely and send us into even darker times. How concerned are you about that and as a result, will we need almost certainly another stimulus package on hand and ready to go . Well, it is important to know that the report we put out yesterday, which did show those 700,000 in job losses, actually just covered the first part of march. We stopped collecting data at about the middle of the month. And as you know the middle of the month is when a lot of these statewide closures started. The next report in may, yeah, it will pick up the first couple weeks of april, as well as the end of march. And we will see higher losses. This is different than any economic downturn we have ever had in American History because its purposeful. We are doing this on purpose to combat the virus. But its also temporary. And thats good news. Its purposeful, its temporary. The more disciplined we are now, the quicker we can spring back and get theme back to work. But we know there is going to be another difficult job report, but, more importantly, we know a lot of americans are struggling right now. Jillian you mention it being temporary. We dont know how long this is going to go on. We dont know at what point our economy is going to be able to bounce back and people are going to be able to get back to their jobs. Im wondering how much hope that you have that our economy will be able to bounce back quickly once this is said and done . I do have hope in that. Because of you who strong the economy was just weeks ago. Because what were experiencing was not at the outset an economic problem. It was a Health Emergency that is has required these extraordinary measures. But they are, by design, temporary. They have to be shortterm, really, for our national wellbeing. And we have seen congress, the president , acting quickly to provide relief. I emphasize again how important it is to be disciplined on the Health Measures that are being urged as well. Pete mr. Secretary, as someone who is involved with the task force, not formally but you are around it. You are in these discussions. The health side dominated the economic prospects in the future are really going to start to hit people. Where are you going to fall down when it comes to National Guidelines for health, that have impact on our economic environment or should states and local municipalities as we draw out of this start to make their own decisions . Whats best for our Economic Health . I think that in the shortterm, our Economic Health depends on taking these Public Health measures very seriously with respect to the virus. But i think we all recognize at the same time we cant look just at the health side. We have to maintain our economic infrastructure. We have to maintain our National Defense for that matter, which depends, in part, on our Economic Health. So the president , we all know, is looking at all sides of this. And i think we can be confident he will continue to do so. Pete you have a big job. Thank you for joining us this morning, mr. Secretary. Griff thank you, mr. Secretary. Jillian thank you. Pete turning now to additional headlines. At least seven covid19 cases are being linked to one church. Health officials are saying dozens of people are diagnosed with the virus at the Bethany Slavic Missionary Church near san diego being spread at Bible Studies at the church claims that these claims are inaccurate. A navy captain faces disciplinary action after his criticisms against the navy went public. Captain bret crozier was released of his duties on the uss here to door roosevelt. The navy says crozier extremely poor judgement after he informed the public about the outbreak who were not in the chain of command. Congress will investigate his dismissal. I think in this case the navy had a problem with how he did it. And i have concerns there as well. The fact that it went public so easily. Pete the sailors on his ship certainly back him. They cheered for crozier after he was escorted off the ship on thursday. Dozens of sailors tested positive for covid19 on board. More information coming your way we will bring it to you. 300,000 n95 masks are headed to new york thanks to the new england patriots.

Not good news there thanks, rick, appreciate it. Rick you bet. Griff still ahead. After beating the coronavirus himself.

Jillian good saturday morning and welcome back. As new york City Hospitals face dire shortages of protective medical gear. One local college is lending a local hand. St. Johns university in queens donating all equipment from health and science facilities to a local hospital. They are not stopping there. St. Johns is also using three printers to make 200 face shields a week for Healthcare Workers. Joining us now is st. Johns University Spokesman brian brown. Brian, good to see you. Thank you for joining us. Good to be here. Jillian how did this come about. This is really what st. Johns university is all about. For 150 years we have been part of new york city. We are woven deep into the fabric of life here. When new york city hurts, st. Johns feels the pain. So we saw a need and would he wanted to respond to it. Jillian i understand that st. Johns responded after 9 11 as well in the Lower Manhattan campus, right . We did. Back at the time we had a building at 101 30th street days in the fall semester. We turned that building over to the Respite Center for men and women working on the pile. This is what st. Johns is all about. St. Johns found founded by great religious community and follower of Saint Vincent depaul and france. This is what we are, this is what we do. Service is one of our core values at st. Johns. Jillian i mean, this is what america is about. Right . Absolutely. Jillian tell me about the 3d printers and what you are doing with that. A great colleague of mine is one of our tech guys at st. Johns. He took a bunch of 3d printers home with him when we vacated our campus and everyone is working remotely. So he is now using six 3d printers to crank out 200 face shields weekly. Face shields much needed for our Healthcare Workers. They are being donated to local hospitals. We donated a bunch of our surface classroom medical splice. Because we really want to respond to this unmet need. Jillian wow, so this is being done from someones home as they are working remotely. They took everything home. That is incredible. You were able to donate a lot. You donated 186,000 medical gloves, which is so important right now. 500 lab coats. 100 protective face masks and 20 face shields we know you guys are 3d printing them. Whats been the response so far . Its been overwhelmingly positive. From the students and faculty who are involved in the initiative to newark presbyterian queens Healthcare Partners first recipient of the equipment. There is a need. We want to help in and fill that need. It doesnt stop there. Normally the student workers in our call center, normally making calls to solicit donations to the university. We have stopped that for now. And our students are making wellness calls to the more than 187,000. Most of them in the tristate area. We know everybody is homebound these days and we want to check in and see how they are doing. And, again, this is what st. Johns is all about. This is what new york city is all about. Jillian have you ever seen anything like this . No, no. And i have been on campus for over 20 years. And, you know, we have been through a lot, blackouts, 9 11, you know, hurricane sandy, but this is different. And i think the most unsettling part is the unknown. And im determined that were all determined to get through this. And we will see better days ahead. Jillian absolutely. Yes, we will.

Griff grammy awarding pit bull teaming up global anthem in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The song i believe we will win lighting up miami stars and stripes tower for all stibs to stay home at the start of the stipulates curfew that starts at 10 00 p. M. Francis schwarzenegger joins us. Talk about what you are doing now that you are recovered. Pit bull. That is unbelievable. Why are you doing this . How did you team up with him . Pit bull is a dear friend and another good friend of my santos from i heart radio called me and said in new york they are lighting up the Empire State Building to alicia keys empire state. So he called me. I called another good friend of mine who developed the paramount world center project. And we put everybody together. They had been displaying the American Flag and so we decided to set the American Flag to pit bulls brand new song i believe we will win i will as a covid19 obviously infected person and i beat covid19. So we sort of put this together very, very quickly. It was the first day that i had gotten out of quarantine and also happened to be doctors day. It all just came together very beautifully to sort of bring in our 10 00 p. M. Curfew and give our residents something to rejoice about. Something to be hopeful about. As, obviously, they were having to stay home at 10 00. And miami likes to party. It all sort of came together very nicely. Griff certainly inspires and cheers people up. I full disclosure love pit bull. Whats been the impact. We are seeing the Mental Health aspect of this across the country. Its difficult just to force your sufficiently to be home. To say adjust to this new thing and your city a curfew of 10 00 p. M. Perhaps a difficult time at the end of the night whats been the response of the residents . Imagine our city, the city that loves to party. And we had to cancel first mayor to cancel major music vent in ultra. These are tough economic times. And we have to find ways to keep our spirits up. And so the responds has been amazing. Our residents have been very respectful of our curfew. And, you know, obviously having a champion like pit bull, armando National Guard the curfew. I believe we will win. Inspiring message we are going to beat covid19 whether you are an individual that has it. Or someone anxious about getting it or someone on the other side like i am that as an obligation to keep helping. Griff mr. Mayor, you amazingly, have become the first in florida, i believe, to donate plasma. Explain. Just like i said, you know, i was one of the first covid19 positive patients in awful miamidade county. A region of 3 million people. We now have over 3,000 positive cases. Buff now that i tested double negative, i realize that i had a responsibility. And i was reached out to by a Company Called one blood and reached out to by a family who had a father in Critical Condition at one of our local hospitals. So it all sort of came together. I had the right blood type and i decided that, you know, the fight against covid19 doesnt end when you beat it inside your body. That just begins the fight because you build up antibodies and have you plaza you can share. Im using it as a call to action. Trying to set the example that once people are able to overcome covid19 we have responsibility to help those that have had much more severe cases. One of the things we know about covid19, it has a tremendous variability. It effects dinner people differentlily, different age groups differently. Im 42 years old and healthy. Unfortunately the person im helping is close to 70 years old and is on a respirator now. My hope and prayer that he is able to come out of it well and others will follow my lead and do likewise. Griff you are setting the record just quickly. Tell us, mr. Mayor, how important is it, not only to hear pit bull and be motivated to take action but to walk it through to do the sacrifices and maybe even give blood . Its incredibly important. There are so many people that are infected right now. And every single day, ever since did i the plasma donation i can tell you the flood of calls im receiving from all parts of florida is incredible. Was i the first in florida to do it. One of the first in the United States. We have continue to crease testing also people who are covid positive so we know they are eligible to give blood. Griff mayor francis suarez, our hats off to you. And residents of miami are enjoying pit bull every night ought 10 00 p. M. Thank you, mr. Mayor. Thank you so much.

Youll see some bad things and then youre going to see some really good things. The cdc is advising the use of nonmedical clothfaced covering as an additional voluntary Public Health measure so its voluntary. Pete thank you for joining us for the final hour of this saturday edition of fox friends we begin with that fox news alert. President trump announcing yesterday new cdc recommendations on masks, americans urged to cover their faces with nonmedical cloth as coronavirus cases grow across the u. S. Covid19 cases surpassing 1 Million Worldwide more than 270,000 of those here in the u. S. Griff new york city the outbreak epicenter seeing its largest 24 hour spike in both deaths and cases, the white house now keeping a close eye on emerging hotspots in michigan, georgia, and louisiana. Good morning im Griff Jenkins in washington keeping watch here with jillian and pete up in new york, hi, guys. Pete good morning, i see jillian, but shes actually directly beneath me here in studiof. Were doing the best this morning to bring all of the information we can on top of what we talked about at the top. The president also said this is voluntary from the cdc. Its prudent but like with a lot of the stay at home orders use your own judgment and he himself said i wont be wearing one but of course hes been tested and those around him being tested. Jillian keep in mind it is a selfless about because if youre wearing a home made mask because thats what the were recommended to do to save the surgical masks and the n95 masks for those on the frontline fighting those but i say itself less because really its just to help protect other people that you might be out with at Grocery Stores even though youre social distancing we still have to do that if youre using that mask you to potentially be a symptomatic and thats going to help keep those droplets from not spreading to everyone else. So keep that in mind as something we can all do. Griff thats right and particularly as we just mentioned in these emerging hotspots in the case of louisiana where theres more than 10,000 cases, 370 deaths we have House Minority whip Steve Scalise on the show and shes going to join us he is in louisiana down there and well get perhaps his insight on this whole question of whether to do masks but at this point when they say these masks are not a substitute for the social distancing and other guidelines important to keep in mind. Pete theres also talk of a potential fourth bill in washington d. C. Related to coronavirus as we see how the third bill, multi trillion dollar bill is playing out in Small Businesses and record numbers are reaching out for the assistance the government is providing and well also cover the economic angle but well start with dr. Nicole saphier fox news medical contributor to give us more insight. Doctor, good morning and thank you for being here. Good morning guys. Pete your take on these new guidelines recommending that americans wear Face Coverings in public. Ill be honest ive been watching for this for a while. I wasnt sure we were ever going to get there but as you saw this week it happened. The reason i havent been jumping on the bandwagon of just having the general public wear face masks is because theres not a lot of hard data that supports this; however when youre dealing with a novel virus like we are with the coronavirus we didnt know a lot about it in the beginning so for the first couple months china said this wasnt transmit ted person to person, it wasnt infectious and then only we found out that wasnt true and we saw Community Spread but we didnt realize how infectious or contagious this virus is until recently. We started doing tests seeing that its possible that it is aerosolizing and 2550 of people with the infection may actually just be asymptomatic based off data. If you look at that princess cruise line, they tested everyone on that ship. Not just the symptomatic people, but the asymptomatic people too and they showed 46 of the people who tested positive were asymptomatic and that was really important to us to note because that tells us that asymptomatic spread plays a very big part when it comes to the virus. Yes it is true if youre next to someone whose symptomatic cough ing and sneezing that by far is the most contagious, thats the best way to contract the illness, but it does seem that the asymptomatic spread is quite vital, so wearing a mask in public is probably a good idea in the sense that not only are you going to protect others if you are an asymptomatic carrier but also protecting yourself as well. Were still going out, were going to the Grocery Store and the pharmacies an going to work, and some people its really hard to maintain that six feet social distancing. The important thing to remember and i know dr. Birx and dr. Fauci and everyone keeps saying this is not a substitution for social distancing measures. Social distancing by far is what is proven to limit Community Spread. So if you wear a mask, you still need to try and maintain that six feet if you can, continue washing your hands, dont stop doing those things. Jillian dr. Sapphire i love you to death i text you pretty much every day with questions and i was texting you about this face mask conversation and i think a lot of people have questions, because look, the masks are hard to come by and they should be hard to come by for every day people because they need to be reserved for those on the frontlines dealing with this in the medical community, but i think people at home want to know, so what is the best approach for me then . What should i do if im making this at home myself, how should i do it . What do you suggest to people . Well lets talk about exactly what i told you to do. So a lot of people, you dont need to be wearing the n95 researcher per ate or s we really need those for our Healthcare Workers so i ask you not to horde those but if you have the surgical masks wear those but if you dont have any of that there are a lot of things you can do the cloth mask s just dont have a single layer but a couple layers of things so if its a scarf, you want it to be a little bit thicker so theres multiple layers of fabric and that being said you want to cover your mouth and nose but not so tight that you cant actually breathe, but the biggest thing that i want to tell people is if you do cover your mouth, dont then throw the scarf down and later pick it back up and put it back on because how will you know which side was on your mouth and which side was exposed to the air . So if you wear it one you want to make sure youre always putting the same side on your mouth but the two, i would wash it every time you leave the house, it is so important, because this virus can live on objects like a scarf for hours, even daysg griff dr. Sapphire, great advice, but i want to turn for a moment talking about masks because President Trump is sparring with 3m after the company exported thousands of the n 95 masks overseas and the white house now ordering them to stop as American Healthcare workers ask for much needed supply, and Garrett Tenney is live with more, good morning, garrett. Reporter well, griff, good morning to you. Yeah, these n 95 masks, 3m is one of the leading producers and they are desperately needed by hospitals and First Responders across the globe but President Trump is really going after them for not doing enough to help fight the pandemic here at home. On thursday, President Trump invoked the defense production act, forcing the company to prioritize orders by the u. S. Government for itsn 95 mask, something 3m says it was already doing, but on friday, the president said that he was not satisfied with those efforts President Trump im not happy with 3m and the people that dealt it with directly are not at all happy so well see. I heard what he had to say today i dont know the gentleman, but were not happy with 3m. Go ahead. Reporter earlier in the day, 3m criticized the white house for previously asking it to stop sending face masks to canada and latin america which largely depend on 3m for that crucial equipment. Canadian officials including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau quickly jumped in as well criticizing that request and any effort to limit trade of medical supplies during the pandemic. Here is 3m ceo. The other idea out there that 3m is not doing all it can to fight price gouging and unauthorized reselling is absurd we are doing everything we can to fight covid19 and support the Healthcare Workers here at home. Reporter President Trump did seem to change his position a bit by the end of the day, however, saying he would make exceptions for key allies who have ordered the face masks but last night his trade advisor tore into 3m again. Just produce masks, get them to the american people. 3m has been doing nothing but disassembling, you cant get any data out of them. Reporter 3m says its already ramped up production globally and that it is now up to 100 Million Masks a month, and it is working t redirect as much of that as it can to here at the u. S. , but really this back and forth highlights how concerned officials are about responding to this pandemic, which isnt expected to peak here at home for another couple of weeks. Back to you all. Pete garrett thank you. Y, 3m, ive heard from people involved in making masks as well that 3ms prices look a lot like gouging well get more, but dr. Sapphire i want your new oped at foxnews. Com it warns that covid19 deaths are rising due to chronic illness and obesity here is the headlines. It should alarm us all. Whats your take on obesity and chronic illness here . Well, pete let me tell you the covid19 pandemic has exposed strengths and weaknesses all throughout our country and across the globe. In the United States specifically it has really shown how strong our private sector is , how many incredible Healthcare Workers we have in our great Healthcare System people are stepping up all of our First Responders and frontline worker, im so proud to see this but its also exposed some weaknesses in our system. One of them being our need for the imports of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, 3m halited something saying that it could backlash on us if we stopped providing masks elsewhere. We know that we depend on pharmaceuticals and medical devices from other country, and so that is in my opinion one of the weaknesses, but the other weakness is something the whole concept of why i wrote my book, make america healthy again, is a concept of personal responsibility, and individual accountability and covid19 is hitting us hard because we have such a high amount of preventable illness in our country, and you know, i was looking at the numbers in louisiana. Louisiana has already seen a higher death rate than that were seeing in new york city, and i really look at that and louisiana also has more of the obesity population in their state per capita than anywhere else in the country, and obesity is directly related to heart disease, diabetes, among other things, all which render those people vulnerable to severe effects of covid19. So my biggest concern is that when were talking about wearing a mask and staying home these are all very important things for personal responsibility, but do you know what else is really important . Maintaining healthy lifestyle, eating as healthy as you possibly can, staying physically active, because that will, it is really the only thing thats going to make us strong individually but also as a nation, for the next time Something Like this occurs. Jillian youve been ahead of this with your book, make america healthy again. Pete thats true i want your take on this as well. New york cities mayor is putting out a call for Healthcare Workers in the city to pitch in, but we had a very cool story on earlier as well. Samaritans purse setup a Field Hospital in central park. We had ken izaacs the vp of their field operation, some people call him the Indiana Jones of Christian Relief work and hes in this city. Here is what he had to say. Were at a war, and were seeing our economies collapse, were seeing thousands of people die, weve got 34 patients this morning all critically ill, five of them are in the icu unit, and the team is doing good weve got about 85 americans working here right now. We setup a 68bed hospital with 10 icu units in it and of all of the places in the world ive been, and its been a lot, pete, we never thought we would come to new york and be in the hospital in a hospital much less in central park. Pete who have thought, doctor. How important is this extra help at this moment . Jillian these are so important. We continue to get calls. I know myself and my colleagues weve all responded to the new york governors request by email to sign up. You cant see right now but im surrounded by six screens set up to read the radiological images, the xrays, and the cat scans, and everyone is doing what they can do but the truth is, our Hospital Systems were already quite full from flu season, also weve had many hospitals close over the last decade and which has left us with fewer hospital beds per person in an effort to increase outpatient care, that was kind of done under the Affordable Care act so these extra sites are temporary this isnt going to last. Central park will be back to normal soon, i promise but these are so crucial right now to help us really take care of the people we need and make sure Healthcare Workers have the resources that they need to keep themselves healthy as well as the patients theyre treating. Jillian so important, dr. Nicole saphier thank you as always. Pete thank you, doctor. Get back to those six screens appreciate it.

Joining us now is the president of stop shop, sir thanks for being here appreciate it. Good morning, thanks for having me. Jillian of course you guys are doing a lot. Tell me about everything youre doing and why you decided to go this route. Its incredible. Well were one of the biggest Food Store Chains in this part of the world, when we saw the challenges the medical world was having in getting fresh food and the pressure they were under, we decided that we would supply meals to them, and we have a facility in rhode island and we decided we were going to support those , those people need energy at this time.

They are our Frontline Associates and fantastic for us and really are on the frontline, and keeping the food chain open and thats essential in this society at this time. Jillian what about the people who visit your stores . I know a lot of different businesses have started to limb the number of shoppers they have in the store. We know walmart is starting that today, i believe costco earlier this week limited the number of guests you can bring in. What are you guys doing .

Griff our next guest helped organize the surprise of the fdn y Fire Officers Association and lt. Of ladder 25 Jimmy Mccarthy joins us. What an amazing moment gave the country what they needed. Explain to me, why did you do it well its an important relationship we have with the nurses and doctors in the emergency room. We have a very dangerous job, and a lot of guys get hurt and those are the first people we see when we come to the hospital and we need to build them up in this time of the virus and the quarantines and the pressure theyre under so we thought we would give them something of applause and accolades they deserve. Pete jimmy you mentioned because of your line of work which is dangerous by nature you understand what these doctors do in the er, and the stress theyre under under normal times share with our viewers your appreciation for these doctors and nurses on the frontlines and what theyre doing. Well, we are First Responders as well and we come out and encounter these patients in the streets and in their homes and we bring them into the hospital. We see the stress the people are in and the nurses and doctors certainly treating them and giving them comfort and that gives us a lot with them because we start with their care, and these are the people that bring them into the wellness. Jillian jimmy at the end of the day, when you get a moment to yourself to just think about the day, what goes through your mind . Well, were happy that we can help people and were really dedicated to serving the public of new york city and we appreciate whats going on with the nurses and doctors and all of the staff in the hospital including cleaning staff and everybody that helps then get their job done, all of those working people in the hospitals and ems and the Fire Department serving the public and making sure we all get through this as best as possible with as few victims as we can possibly keep. Jillian while were looking at at this video here, you see the members of the Fire Department and you see the nursing staff and the doctors, and theyre out there and theyre clapping too and taking video of each other and of you guys. Its a moment here that the whole nation can just stop and take a look and for once, these nurses and doctors have a smile on their face. Whats it like to be able to deliver that . Well do you know what . This is trying times and people are stuck in their homes, or safe at home, as we say, and we need an uplifting moment and this is kind of one of those times where you want to give somebody accolades and give a positive image of whats going on out there in the public, that people are helping people, and as we said, giving them a boost. I know its a trying day and thats the end of their shift and new people are coming on to work, so we want to help them and give them a boost with our encouragement and appreciation. Griff jimmy do you think this is a moment much like when you and those Healthcare Workers and hospitals answer the call like 9 11 this too will be a time well never forget . Well it is a memorable time in all of our lives. Were going to mark our life by these moments and trying times make for important actions and lift people up and they show the level of people that respond to these things so people are challenged and they rise to the occasion and thats what these doctors and nurses and working people in the hospitals are doing and thats why the firefighters and the emts and paramedics and lieutenants and chiefs and captains all want to show our appreciation for their work and sacrifices. Pete lt.

Well big and rich arent the only country stars making a difference. Country artist chase rice teamed up with jack daniels for a friday night happy hour to raise money to fight covid19. [no matter what we do, if youre that girl ive got my eyes on you. No matter where we live, there aint no better view griff its one of the several ways the iconic Tennessee Whiskey company is stepping up and also maying Hand Sanitizer for First Responders and doing a dollarfordollar match to help restaurant workers. Jillian joining us is the president of jack daniels usa and canada, john heys, thanks for being here. Thank you. Jillian did you ever envision this is what your company be doing . No we wouldnt have thought that. Weve been in the business since 1866 producing Tennessee Whiskey , in lynchberg, tennessee but we never thought we be in the Hand Sanitizer business. Jillian i bet. Pete john how quick was the transition and whats your ramp up looking like . Its been really interesting, because we were able to pivot pretty quickly and begin to make Hand Sanitizer on call it a smaller basis and getting it first off to our employees who make our whiskey, but then, to police, Fire Departments,ems, hospitals, all within the central tennessee area in particular, but were excited to be able to announce next week that weve now formed a partnership where we will be providing the alcohol, were going to be switching over and dedicating one of our stills to make nothing but this high proof alcohol that we will be sending on to a commercial Hand Sanitizer specialist who will now be making more than a million bottles of Hand Sanitizer per week, using our alcohol base, so thats exciting for us to be able to ramp it up and get it out there in a much bigger way. Griff john what does Something Like that involve . We see so many Companies Like jack daniels stepping in and changing operations. Not just doing a charitable act but actually changing your business model. What goes into that and what impact would that have on your business . Well, its been done throughout the distilled spirits industry, but many of them are Craft Distillers and cant make a large quantity. Jack daniels is a big operation and we do have the capacity in order to turn over one of our distilleries to dedicate it to this , so its a big deal that were going to be doing next week to really ramp this up. Jillian youre also helping restaurant workers, right . Yeah, we announced 1 million fund that were spreading around a couple of areas right now in particular, the United States bartenders guild, bartenders of course being friends of jack daniels that we need to help them and we also partnered with the Restaurant Workers Community Foundation in support of their covid19 Crisis Relief Fund and we have a matching fund with them encouraging our employees, friends, and family to give to that, and we will match their contribution so thats a couple areas that we are stepping up and helping from a Financial Support standpoint. Pete restaurant workers cf. Org is the website. John, were all friends of jack daniels though. Ive got to ask is this problematic for getting that product on ourselves . As of now, knockon wood, our production workers are doing an amazing job. We have of course done everything we can to make them safe. Weve done things like slowing lines and making sure that we have social distancing in a good way down there in jack daniels and no reported cases right now at our distillery that were thankful for every day and so far, our people are there distilling, aging, bottl ing and shipping jack daniels over 160 countries around the world. Griff well they dont call it the volunteer state for nothing john hayes, thank you very much, the finest whiskey in the land and full disclosure im from tennessee. Thank, john. And we have information on how you can help, plus, more stories that people go into extra lengths to help each other deal with this pandemic. You can find it all at foxnews. Com americatogether. Pete great stuff thanks, griff. Turning to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. People are dead and hurting as seven others after a knife attack in southeastern france. Police say the suspect stabbed a man in front of his family before attacking customers in a supermarket. Police arrested the suspect. He has not yet been identified. Antiterrorism Prosecutors Office said its investigating whether the attack was motivated by terrorism. And back here in the states the sheriffs deputy passing away overnight from covid19. The Broward County Sheriffs Office in florida announcing the death of Deputy Shannon bennett. He was diagnosed with the virus last week. Bennett is a 12year veteran of the department. Rest in peace. And a woman threatens to call police on a shopper wearing scrubs inside a florida supermarket. The Heated Exchange caught on camera. We just left and were picking things up for our family. She started saying its not right for you to wear scrubs in a Grocery Store, youre spreading the virus, you can see how the general public would think thats not safe. Pete the woman tried explaining she works at a hearing aid practice, not a hospital. No one was arrested. And dont let this face fool you soda pop, a 75pound boxer is happy to help a maryland whiner do curbside delivery. They had to get creative in doing deliveries, while social distancing with a horse saddle bag, soda puppet can deliver up to two bottles at a time. Those are your headlines very well disciplined. Griff good boy, well done. Jillian lets go to rick richmuth right now who joins us from his bedroom via skype and rick, you were talking about the last hour about Hurricane Season and some pretty dire news there. Rick yeah, were going to see expected to see an above average active Hurricane Season, which is not good news, as something obviously well watch, starts june 1 so were watching it very closely, water temperatures are well above average so we could see something maybe a little bit early so well watch that. Take a look at the map and show you whats going on. Really cold air for april across parts of the far Northern Plains , 21 degrees right now in minneapolis, so youre hanging on to winter pretty tight. Behind that line of storms is cutting across the chicago area, headed towards detroit later on big storms across parts of texas , hill country in pretty good showers and we need rain so thats good news and we also have this disturbance across parts of the northeast with that little circulation its kind of been sitting there for much of this week and its not going to budge the next couple of days so cloudy condition, good conditions, guys, to stay inside , and watch tv instead of going outside. Pete a lot of that going on for sure. Rick thank you very much. Griff thanks, rick. Jillian still ahead more than 700,000 jobs lost nationwide last month, as lawmakers reveal another stimulus bill is in the works. So how soon could American Families and businesses see more relief . House minority whip Steve Scalise joins us on that, next. Remind me to call petsmart for ralphies appointment. Whos his groomer . Carrie. Full groom for sure what . I just booked ralphies appointment online. That work . Wait you what . Its that easy download the app or book online at petsmart. Com jillian welcome back on this sad of sad saturday. The u. S. Economy taking another hit with 701,000 jobs lost last month and unemployment surging to 4. 4 . And as leaders of both sides of the aisle begin work on the next phase of a stimulus package, how soon can we see more relief . Griff here to join us to talk about it is House Minority whip Steve Scalise. Good morning, congressman how are you . Doing well, good morning, good to be with you. Griff the jobs report terrible, its going to get even worse, youve got the phase iii out there, how do you assess where we stand as we hit this weekend . Well a lot of work has been put in this last week into making phase iii work successfully for those companies and those families that are struggling and you saw record numbers, 10 million unemployed just in the last two weeks, and you know look, were seeing every business trying to figure out how they are going to hold on to their business and their workers. The bill we passed last week was designed to help bring people back off the unemployment rules and hold on to the workers that you have, while they can get paid under that bill and it be a forgivable loan. You saw yesterday the program just went online in tremendous success in that program. Weve seen a lot of interest just in the last week. Ive had calls with every kind of Small Business group and medium and large size Business Group that are trying to figure out how to make it work for themselves. Treasury secretary mnuchin has been working overtime on behalf of President Trump who really President Trump is the one who said i want to make sure the money gets in the hands of people and of businesses we can hopefully hold on through all of this so we can have an economy to come back to and yesterday, the program came off to a really successful start. Theres a lot of work to be done , but treasury was even working last night to revise some of the rules to make sure that theres clarity, so people know how it works for them, so that they can apply for and get these loans and hold on to their jobs and Small Businesses, families can hold on to their homes. Pete yeah, represent theyve in these unique times, price tags have pretty much gone out the window so a lot of people look at 2 trillion and say a huge number for phase iii yet theres already talk on capitol hill from leadership on both sides of the aisle about a potential phase iv. Do you support that . What be in it . Right now my focus has been on making phase iii work. Theres so many aspects of phase iii for families that gives a lot of relief. I mean, relief for individuals. You can get loan forbearance for example, where you can go to your bank and ask them for an extension of maybe three months at the end of your note so the next three months you dont have to pay your house note or business note thats in the bill. The ability again to get these Small Business loans, medium and large size company, companies over 500, everywhere from the Biggest Companies in the world youve heard about the airline industrial of the companies struggling have an ability to get relief to hold on through this crisis and when we come out of this hopefully in the weeks ahead those jobs are still there. Our economy is something we can come back to. The focus needs to be on making that bill work and a lot of energy has been focused. Pete totally agree but when you see leaders talking about another phase people start to say what you said. Wait, we just passed phase iii, people are figuring out how to access it. Whats this talk about another one . Would you support, do you think there might be a need for a fourth phase . Well again, when you look at what is in this third bill, and by the way there ronald regan two other bills passed prior to that so you have somewhere near 3 trillion of taxpayer money out there now working for families and families just working through the details to see how its going to work like secretary mnuchin said yesterday , maybe another two weeks, that irs component where people get 1,200 per person coming through their irs automatic deposit those things havent happened yet that was in the third bill so lets make all the focus on getting that money into the pockets of families so they can get through these next few weeks. Clearly theres talk about what happens next in congress but especially what we can do to get the economy back open again and i know President Trump is focused on that every day while hes focused on the health and safety of the American Family first. Jillian before we let you go we have to get your opinion on this the White House Task force is obviously very carefully monitor ing the cases in louisiana as they spike and continue to spike, President Trump saying the medical supplies will arrive in new orleans today. Tell us about that state and whats happening there. Yeah, thats something weve been working with the president , all the way down through fema, talked to the fema administrator at the beginning of this week and they assured us they were going to get more ppes and ventilators down to new orleans and they have gotten it through the state office of emergency peep edness ive been working with our governor, john bill edwards too so everybody is working on that together i talked to the head of the hospital, worner thomas, all of the people have been stepping up to the challenge. Our hospital workers are stepping up to the challenge. We wanted to make sure we got them more protective equipment, the ppes had is in such demand and we were able to get over 110,000 ppes for those workers that are the brave, frontline workers taking care of people so everybody is pulling together. The tragedies that you see are real but people are doing a better job of sheltering at home , washing their hands and social distancing because they realize every american can play a part in stopping the spread of this disease. Griff and youre in a hotspot there, congressman so well be thinking about you and all the people down in louisiana. Thank you. Jillian thank you. Were all sticking together. God bless you and stay safe. Jillian up next the governor of new york calling on Healthcare Workers nationwide to come help his state. One minnesota nurse answering the call, she shares her experience with us, when she joins us live, next. Hot hot no no no no no, theres no space there maybe over here . Oven mitts oven mitts everythings stuck in the drawers im sorry oh, jeez. Hi. Kelly clarkson. Try wayfair oh, ok. Its going to help you, with all of. This yeah, here you go. Thank you oh, i like that one [ laugh ] thats a lot of storage perfect. Youre welcome i love it. How did you do all this . Wayfair speaking of dinner, whatre we eating, guys . Pete new York Governor Andrew Cuomo asking for help as hospitals in his state become overwhelmed with covid19 patients and one minnesota nurse is answering his call heading to new york tomorrow. That nurse joins us now. Lisa, thank you very much for being on the program. Youre set to head out to new york tomorrow, you work in Childrens Hospital in nursing. How long are you going to be in new york and why are you making this move . Im in new york for 13 weeks and im making the move because i feel like the opportunity was in front of me and the call for me to go and do the work, my job and my experience was just what they need and i know that if i was working, then i would want to go and help. Pete now youre a mother of three. New york has said to bring your own ppe. Youre effectively mobilizing for a deployment and when you come home to minnesota youll have to quarantine for two weeks is basically what youve been told. Youre heading to one of the toughest hit hospitals in the middle of the coronavirus epidemic. Tell us what motivated you to go to the next level, to do that. I volunteered to go and i committed to going. Ridge fallly, i didnt know which hospital i was going to go to and then i got the offer, and its something that, you know, if i have the skill and the experience, to turn that down when i have the ability to help a lot of people dont have the ability to help and its something that if you dont have it, you wont be successful, so i cant say no to something that i know that im able to help with. Pete im an army guy and i think in those terms you sound a lot like someone who feels motivated to go serve their country on on the battlefield, theres a lot of similarities there. Talk to me what your friends and family are saying to you about this decision . My family is entirely support ever. My mom is a medical provider herself and shes like i would do it and serving the lord and the country, so my family, everyone is a little nervous. I have a ton of friends who have stepped up. Ive got a lot of people nervous but also a lot of people rooting for me. Pete amen. Well now you got a few million more rooting for you. [laughter] pete your three kids will be very proud of you and miss you but god bless you for what youre doing lisa thank you, keep us posted. Thank you. Pete more fox and friend, straight ahead. What a heartwarming story. Pete welcome back a couple seconds left, griff any final thoughts . Griff final thought is listen to the cdc officials and the task force here, social distancing, cover your mask and just hang in there and get tough. Jillian absolutely stay positive, do your part check on your Friends Family and neighbors. Pete hears to the doctors and nurses out there doing heavy lifting we love you and godless you. Have have a great saturday everybody. Neil all right, they thought the number of cases or at least new cases would subside or the rate of increase would subside that is not the case as youre looking at all but an abandoned times square in new york and the new people wearing masks, hospitals crowded and a jobless situation that is getting worse, much much worse but the biggest of all of those stores is the number of cases in the United States that suddenly booming welcome ed youre watching kanye west suit o live, im neil cavuto. Lets get to it on the
