You are watching Fox Friends First on this monday morning. Im heather childress. We begin with a fox news alert, schools and businesses from coast to coast now closing for weeks as the u. S.

Were using the full power of the federal government to defeat the coronavirus. As American People know, testing is available in all 50 states. Well do everything that we can to make sure we safeguard the health and wellbeing of the American People. Heather city streets around the world are empty as people stay home to limit exposure, the eu now reporting its highest number of deaths in a single day. And then take a look at this, chilling video showing how a newspapers obituary section grew from one to 10 pages long. Travelers returning to u. S. Airports waiting up to six hours to go through customs and we have Fox News Team coverage for you, beginning with Aishah Hasnie here live with a major announcement from overnight. Reporter life is about to look very, very different. The cdc calling on an eightweek ban of large gatherings in city and states already taking action. New york city, night life is over. Restaurants and bars began closing tuesday, takeout delivery still allowed. Same thing out in la, nightclubs, movie theaters, gyms close at midnight for the rest of the month. Other cities like miami have begun issuing curfews. Illinois, massachusetts, ohio and washington among the states shutting down bars and restaurants. Again, only allowing takeout delivery. State and local leaders emphasizing these orders are absolutely necessary as covid19 cases spike to more than 3,000 across the nation, more than 60 people now dead. If we can push the curve out instead of pushing it up of infection, we can make sure that our Health Facilities are not overwhelmed. Reporter President Trump calling on state leaders to step up local containment efforts, tweeting individual efforts of officials must step efforts on driveup testing and testing sites, working in conjunction with cdc and the federal government. And that Coronavirus Relief bill still not on the president s desk. Mitch mcconnell announcing the senate will convene today but its waiting to get its hands on the houses final version. The snag, treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin said Small Businesses are worried on how to pay sick leave to fulltime workers. Heather Aishah Hasnie live for us. Thank you so much. As we mentioned, the covid19 pandemic taking a toll on the airline industry. United Airlines Cutting flights in half, starting next month. This comes as International Passengers wait in jampacked customs lines for hours. Todd piro is live for us at Newark Airport in new jersey with how the Trump Administration is responding. Good morning, todd. Good morning to you, heather. Pretty quiet here right now, havent seen too much activity, a few individuals coming in, seemingly airport workers. One individual was spraying down the entire area where we are right now, trying to kill the covid19 virus. Like you said, it was a much different scene yesterday, check this out. A few hours ago travelers packed together, waiting in customs lines, the exact opposite of the social distancing authorities are pushing. That scene repeated at airports throughout the country, including in chicago, where the mayor lashed out at the feds. The federal government Must Immediately and significantly increase personnel devoted to airport screening and rather than sending i. C. E. Into the streets, send screeners to our airports. Thats what we need. Reporter 13 airports currently processing travelers from overseas with Homeland Security chief chad wolf promising improvements in the days ahead. The lines at airports we saw are unacceptable. We made the necessary adjustments at 12 of the funneling airports and we are glad to see certain airports and Certain Airlines step up, partner with us and help us address this unprecedented situation. Reporter one of those airlines, united, which announced a cut in flight capacity by 50 in april and may while predicting cuts would last into the Summer Travel season. Delta announcing reduced flights to europe including suspensions of current routes, certain routes, i should say, american reducing its International Capacity by 75 . But while rushing back from overseas is understandable, dr. Anthony fauci, the man on the front lines on the crisis, says its not necessary. We would like to not see crowds like that. I think what people need to understand if youre an american citizen, if you are a family member, that you can get back. You dont need to rush back. Its understandable how when people see a travel ban, they immediately want to hunker and get home. Reporter and to help travelers better understand whats going on, tsa has a new coronavirus website dedicated to helping individuals through the security screening process. In the meantime, were a little over two hours away from what were expecting to be the first flight internationally to land here at newark this morning. Well obviously be there to talk to the individuals as they get off that flight and keep you posted. Heather, back to you. Heather thank you very much, todd piro live for us this morning. Thank you. The other thing everyones watching of course the markets and market futures plunged 1,000 points as the Federal Reserve slashes Interest Rates to nearly zero. The futures sinking by 5 , triggering a limit down, so that they cannot fall any further. The sharp dive comes as the fed cuts rates by a full percentage point in an emergency move amid the coronavirus pandemic. They have not been this low since the 2008 financial crash. Rates are expected to remain this way until the economy recovers. Well, a Clinical Trial for a potential Coronavirus Vaccine will begin today. The National Institutes of health is funding the trial at a Research Institute in seattle. 45 young and Healthy Volunteers will take part and theres no chance they can get covid19 since the shot will not contain the virus. Its expected to take between a year and 18 months before a vaccine could be ready for the public. Heather the nationwide Health Epidemic taking center stage during the first one on one debate between Bernie Sanders and joe biden. The candidates wasting no time slamming the president s response to coronavirus. First thing weve got to do, whether or not im president , is to shut this president up right now. It is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with unfactual information. Jillian the World Health Organization offered the testing kits that they have available and to give it to us now. We refused them. Clearly, we are not prepared. And trump only exacerbates the crisis. Heather Griff Jenkins is live for us in washington, d. C. The candidates didnt agree on much else, did they. Reporter no, they didnt. They wanted to bash President Trump. It was a historic debate that began with the first ever elbow bump instead of a handshake. Then of course they were treated to they retreated to their positions which were separated by six feet which was recommended by the cdc and of course the silence of no audience. Sanders signature issue, medicare for all, was center stage. It has nothing to do with medicare for all. That would not solve the problem at all. We dont have a system, weve got thousands of private insurance plans, that is not a system that is prepared to provide health care to all people. You have a single payer system in italy. It doesnt work there. We need unprecedented action right now to deal with the unprecedented crisis. People are looking for results, not a revolution. Reporter beyond coronavirus, biden made the case to progressive sanders but took several opportunities to reach out to leftleaning democrats on immigration and fracking and announcing his running mate will be a woman. I would pick a woman to be my vice president. I will send to the desk immediately a bill that requires access to citizenship for 11 million undocumented folks. The first 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. No more no new fracking. No more drilling on federal lands. Reporter biden has a healthy lead in the current delegate count. Now its all eyes on tomorrows primaries. Theres 577 del gates up for delegates up for grabs in four states. All four states have said their contest will proceed as planned. Only two states so far have announced delays, louisiana and georgia. Heather. Heather Griff Jenkins live for us. Thank you so much, griff. Well, the u. S. Now considering some drastic new measures to stop the coronavirus from spreading. Everything and anything well consider. No bars, no restaurants . That could be, absolutely. Heather what else can the public do to contain the pandemic. Our next guest is an infectious a [sneezing] heather excuse me. I sneezed into my elbow. An Infectious Disease expert explains why social distancing is critical. The Magic Kingdom closed for business, the emotional final night before disney world is shut down. Theres a company thats talked to even more real people than me jd power. 448,134 to be exact. They answered 410 questions in 8 categories about vehicle quality. And when they were done, chevy earned more j. D. Power quality awards across cars, trucks and suvs than any other brand over the last four years. So on behalf of chevrolet, i want to say thank you, real people. Youre welcome. Were gonna need a bigger room. Well now theres score , time. From force factor,enin. To rev your libido and maximize physical response. Its no wonder walmart offers score in more locations than any other performance enhancer. Unleash your potential in the bedroom, with score . As we look at this and literally we will do everything that we can to make sure we safeguard the health and wellbeing of the American People and that means everything and anything well consider. Youre pursuing no bars, no restaurants . That could be, absolutely. That could be. Heather a fox news alert for you the cdc outlining some dramatic new guidelines, banning groups of more than 50 or more to stop the spread of covid19. This as local leaders across the country shut down restaurants and night life. So why is this social distancing such an important step . Here with her expert insight is Infectious Disease expert dr. Dina grayson. Thank you so much for joining us. We certainly appreciate it. Thanks for having me, heather. Heather as i was introducing you before the break, i sneezed which ive never done, actually, i dont think, but i did what i was supposed to do, right there into your elbow. Is that just one example of why this social distancing is important . Absolutely. Its really important that we we keep talking about flattening the curve and a whole concept here is that we want to try to limit the spread of infection so that we dont have this huge surge of patients suddenly rushing to the hospital and overwhelming our hospital system. Because we only have a limited number of hospital beds, icu beds and ventilators and we want to make sure we have the appropriate medical resources to take care of all of our patients. Heather and theres a difference, though. What type of symptoms should we be looking for . Its so hard to tell. Do you have a cold . Do you have allergies . Do you have a standard flu . Or do you have coronavirus . So heather, thats a great question. And its really difficult to tell a lot of times. Especially because its flu season. So what people should be looking for is things like fever, dry cough and shortness of breath. In particular, those are symptoms that are much more like the coronavirus. Now, the coronavirus doesnt typically this coronavirus is not typically associated with causing a lot of the upper respiratory symptoms like a sneeze, so things that people should be really concerned about and think about seeking medical attention, kind of think about the triad, fever, cough, short shortness of breath. Heather in terms of social distancing, i was perhaps one of many, many people that went to the Grocery Store over the weekend, trying to get enough supplies for the next two weeks or so because you dont really know whats going to happen, if they tell people stay at home as much as you can, you do need some of those products. People were Walking Around and i actually had a face mask on. Do those do any good . Im hearing different things. Yeah, sure. So first of all, i like to call it physical distancing rather than social distancing. One of the nice things is we do have technology. We can be social, we cant be physical with one another. Masks a lot of people ask me about masks, heather. You know, in general masks are typically not very helpful because unless youre on like a really crowded subway car which i hope right now thats not going to be happening for the foreseeable future, people arent coughing or sneezing on you. When youre out in the public spaces, the way that you get this virus is through your finger tips, touching things and touching your face. So frequent hand washing, avoiding touching your face and people should start practicing that at home. Its really hard. Those are the key things to protect yourself. A mask, a typical surgical mask is not going to protect you if someone with a virus coughs on you. If you are sick, a mask is helpful because it limits the amount of germs, the amount of virus that you would then be spraying on your friends or loved ones, so dont cough on your friends or loved ones, because theyre not going to like you very much. Heather just practice common sense and canceling social gatherings of 50 people or more just makes sense. Better safe than sorry. Thank you so much for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you, heather. Heather one of the other things thats happening, class dismissed, schools nationwide and here in new york city closing down. Remote learn will begin. It has never been attempted by the city of new york on this scale. This is going to be a kind of battlefield training. Heather yeah, to say the least.

It has never been attempted by the city of new york on this scale. This is going to be a kind of battlefield training. Heather so how had americas students and parents adjusting . Our next guest is a mother of three sons who will start Remote Learning in new jersey. Karine lakula joins us with more. Thank you for joining us. We certainly appreciate it. Good morning, heather. Happy to be here. Heather so like so many other parents across the country, are you ready . I dont know, heather, to be honest. Im a stayathome mom. Im used to having my three kids around. Ive never attempted im not a Home School Teacher and, i mean, were in a pandemic, a word that i never thought i would say, and in a state of a national emergency. So im very hesitant but definitely going into this with everything i have and ive told the kids that this is going to be the new normal for at least two more weeks and maybe beyond that. Heather just to verbalize it, it is crazy. We can bring up a map of all the schools closed or scheduled to close in the u. S. You are certainly not alone. In new jersey alone, the coronavirus, at least 98 confirmed cases, two deaths. How are you talking to your kids about it as well . Obviously, they have a lot of questions. Of course. Two of my boys are in middle school and ones in fourth grade. They have plenty of questions. And actually, last monday we found out in our community there was another dad, 48yearold guy with two kids in our School System and alleged to were not sure theres a lot of rumors because theres privacy concerns but it sounds like he has a couple kids in our School System and before the schools closed i said okay, boys, we are going into the socialize layings because it seems like thats social isolation. That seems like its our only way of fighting this. They havent seen any friends and theyve been home since last week, monday. Theyve been home for a week. And i dont let them go beyond really our little neighborhood. Weve gone on walks with the dog, they play basketball in our driveway. But its been very different. No Grocery Stores, no friends, you know. Heather what about the schools . What about the school itself. I think thats what youre about to get into. How are they assisting you in terms of the subjects that need to be covered . Are you coordinating with them online . How is that working . Right. We were told about a week ago it would take two weeks for them to get set up. And we were expecting to have a little bit more time but as this disease unfolded and as its spreading, i think they took the unprecedented step of moving this up by a week. So everyone else cleaned out their lockers i believe end of last week or today, Remote Learning starts officially tomorrow. And we have all of our books. We have ipads, chromebooks but im not used to looking at the boys homework or attempting to log in, so this is going to be all new. The teachers have been really good. I give them so much credit for setting up for setting this up in record speed and its unchartered territory for them and for me. Im here to assist them. The teachers are saying theyre going to assist them. Heather i am sure you will do a great job and im sure your boys will enjoy being able to spend more time home with you. Thank you so much. Youre not in this alone. Thank you we appreciate you joining us this morning. Thanks. Thanks, heather. Heather all right. Well be right back.

Forced to close their doors as the coronavirus epidemic worsens from coast to coast. Covid19 cases spiking to more than 3200 across the nation. 68 people have died worldwide. The. U the worlds most popular tourist destinations empty as Health Officials urge people to stay home. And travelers returning to u. S. Airports waiting up to six hours to go through customs. Lets get to Aishah Hasnie with a major announcement from overnight. Good morning. Reporter weve never seen anything like this. Lets start with new york city where restaurants and bars begin closing tomorrow. Takeout and delivery is still allowed. Same thing happening in los angeles, nightclubs, movie theaters, gyms closed at midnight for the rest of the month. Other cities like miami are issuing curfews. Mgm closing all Las Vegas Properties indefinitely. Illinois, massachusetts, ohio and washington among the states also shutting down dining in bars and restaurants. State and local leaders are emphasizing that the orders are absolutely necessary as covid19 cases spike to more than 3,000 across the country. More than 60 deaths now. New york city mayor bill de blasio writing this, this is not a decision i make lightly, these places are part of the heart and soul of this city, part of what it means to be a new yorker but our city is facing an unprecedented threat and we must respond with a wartime mentality. President trump calling on state leaders to step up local containment efforts. He tweeted this. The individual governors of states and local officials must step up their efforts on driveup testing and testing sites, working in conjunction with cdc and the federal government. And that Coronavirus Relief bill still not on the president s desk. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell announcing the senate will convene again today and may even come up with its own version of that bill. Mcconnell adding that more covid19 bills are needed and may be coming down the pipeline very soon. Well have to wait and see. Heather Aishah Hasnie live for us. Thank you. Reporter sure thing. Heather in a crowdless one on one showdown, 2020 hopefuls person ben and joe biden person beperson personbernie san trade jabs amid another round of crucial primary. Youre on the ad saying im opposed to Social Security. Let me ask you a few questions. Have you been on the floor of the senate talking about the necessity with pride about cutting Social Security, cutting medicare. No. All right. America, go to the website right now. Go to the youtube right now. Heather but as bidens momentum soars, did bernie do enough to change the course of the race . Here to debate, kathy aru and ash wright. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. So lets just start right there, kathy, ill begin with you. Did he do enough . Yeah, he did what he had to do. But he was under instructions not to brag, not to look like he was bragging and Bernie Sanders was supposed to not get angry. And they kept it together for about five minutes and then they both one started bragging, the other one got angry. So they blew it there. Biden i think won that debate when they asked him what would you do with the military, and he had the response that was amazing and it showed that he know what our nations capable of doing during a pandemic. And Bernie Sanders couldnt answer the question. It was very interesting. Heather ash, what do you think . Yeah, i agree. It was joe bidens debate to not lose, that was his main goal. When Bernie Sanders said in the race this was kind of his last stand, he had to do well last night. I think he did get punches in with Social Security, the war in iraq, used the coronavirus to make shies case for medicare for all, but at the end of the day it was joe biden that came across with the biggest news of the night, announcing he would choose a female as his running mate. I think its too little too late for Bernie Sanders to make a real push for heather what everyone did want to hear last night was what is impacting the entire country, the entire world right now, that is how to deal with coronavirus, covid19. Heres what they had to say in terms of health care. One of the reasons that we are unprepared, i is we dont he a system. Weve got thousands of private insurance plans. That is not a system. With all due respect for medicare for all, you have a single payer system in italy. It doesnt work there. Heather cant argue with that. Italy is having a huge problem right now, the entire country under quarantine. Just for comparison, lets take a look at this house passed relief bill which President Trump does support. It includes free coronavirus testing. It includes Emergency Paid Sick days, emergency paid leave, expanded unemployment insurance, and expanding food security. So kathy, i will toss it over to you. Your thoughts . Right. It sounds great and Everyone Wants it now and what we want to see last night was a leader and whats on all of our minds is the pandemic. We need a leader right now. They need to be more united, needed to be more antitrump and the democrats really had a great opportunity to get together. Those two could have gotten together and shown a united front against trump at this moment and shown what they were going to do. They kind of blew it there, i think on that one. Heather ash, do you think right now the country needs somebody to be antitrump and against the president and against the administration where we see the administration and people from all facets of all different corporations and companies all coming together to try to come to a solution and stop this spread, do we really need somebody to come out there on that stage and be antiadministration right now . No, not at all. I think thats part of what went wrong for them last night. And not just either candidate but the party as a whole. The Democrat Party as a whole. Donald trump has had his press conference yesterday afternoon. He was in the oval office for an evening brief with the country. Hes looked very president ial over the last 10 days, dealing with the coronavirus, and he will continue to and i think a lot of americans that have long thought that donald trump wasnt president ial and expected the democrats, their candidates to kind of be more president ial for lack of a better term, and last night didnt show that either one of them was going to be able to step aside and put their beliefs aside and actually do that for the nation. Heather i think they care about not getting sick and not dying, and thats what matters most. Arizona, florida, illinois, ohio, all holding primaries tomorrow. Lets listen to the governors of ohio and illinois with their thoughts on the election. Were going to go ahead but were telling people, again, to be careful. Weve been extra careful at all of our polling places, everybody is practicing good hygiene and were making sure that its safe for people to come and vote. Heather 577 delegates up for grabs. Kathy, thoughts on that, quickly. Yeah, the cdc and the World Health Organization is telling all of us to stop the social getting close to other people and social distancing and now theyre telling us to go out to vote for a primary. The dnc really has to change the rules when theres a world pandemic. We shouldnt risk our lives for the primaries. Georgia postponed. Why cant these other states postpone . Heather ash, final word. I think i wish that they would postpone. A lot of times these candidates are paying filing fees to the state parties and the state parties rent and pay the state and county election offices to run the primaries and they dont have the funds to reschedule these elections. Its unfortunate. I think theyre going to have Hand Sanitizer at all of the locations, gloves for all the poll workers and at the end of the day theyll take all precautions necessary. Heather turnout will be very interesting tomorrow. Thats what people will be looking at. Kathy, ash, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Another busy day on tap. Well be right back. Guys, its that time. And nothins happenin. Well now theres score , from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. Its no wonder walmart offers score in more locations than any other performance enhancer. Unleash your potential in the bedroom, with score . Heather welcome back.

Can antiterror tech fight the covid19 pandemic . Israel the latest government to use geo tracking software to fight the rapid spread of coronavirus. But should other countries follow suit . Former Naval Intelligence officer don bremmer joins us now with his take. Thank you for joining us this morning. We certainly appreciate it. Good morning, heather. Heather lets bring up this statement which was from israel in terms of what theyre doing in terms of tech monitoring. Theyre saying that we must do everything as a government and as citizens to not become infected and not to infect others. In all my year as Prime Minister, i have avoided using these means among the civilian public but there is no choice. And heres a list of countries using the Cyber Security tools to contain the coronavirus so far. You see only 200 cases there in israel, so they are jumping ahead of the curve, trying to get ahead of everything. Explain to us how exactly would this be used to help to stop the spread of a virus. Well, as far as stopping the spread of the virus, this actually would not stop the spread. What this would be used for would be to track individuals who were deemed infected or known to possibly have the virus. So it wouldnt stop it. The only way this would actually stop it is if it was used to enforce a quarantine and theyre not going to do that. This would be good for gathering data, it would be good for knowing patterns of people who might be infected but for actually stopping it, at this case, theres no real way that this would actually stop the spread. Heather so someone is diagnosed with the coronavirus and then they use this technology to track where they go . I mean, would they have to agree to be a part of this also . Well, in my mind you would have to agree. In the case of israel and these other countries, i dont believe so. The cabinet members in israel have said they want certain limitations set and all data would be destroyed after 30 days. But in all reality, data is data. How do you actually delete that once its collected. I think its a huge infringement of Civil Liberties that would go forward to a point that its an abuse of power and im not sure it would stand up to the courts in the United States. Heather that was my next question. Everyone at home would be thinking is this something we would do in the United States or would we get to the point where we would have to consider doing this. At this point i think that would be completely premature. If you look at the case in israel, they have 216 known cases. Of those, only two are deemed serious, 200 are just showing very light symptoms. So its clearly jumping forward as the Prime Minister said but at this point if its not used for enforcement and its only used for gathering data, i think that its something that they should have not done at this point and i certainly dont think its something we should do in the United States. Heather all right. Thank you so much for joining us. Thanks, heather we appreciate your insights on this. A lot of folks have questions about it today for sure, when they hear about it. Thank you. Well, the time now is about 10 minutes until the top of the hour. Coronavirus anxiety becoming all too common. The internet stepping in to give people a reason to laugh again. Carley shimkus here with the social media posts helping to lighten the mood. Heather this is the fox natin room when i argued we should freeze federal spending, i meant Social Security as well. I not only tried it once, i tried it twice, i tried it a third time and i tried it a fourth time. The idea of changing and change being in this case to cut the benefits for people. Heather joe biden pointing the finger at Bernie Sanders, accusing him of lying in his ads but it looks like social nee socialmedia is firing bac. Carley shimkus is here with how all of this is playing out online. Yeah. So at one point during the debate joe biden said he never called for cuts to Social Security. But we saw the way back machine at work and it tells a much different story. So biden has called for raising the Social Security retirement age and also cuts to Social Security in order to balance the budget. But later on in his career as you saw during his debate with paul ryan, he told a much different story. So some folks on social media calling him out on this big flipflop. One twitter user says yeah, but now hes running for the big seat at the table and is willing to say anything for a vote. Sounds like a politician to me, doesnt it. This twitter user says if he is lying to us now, he will lie to us in the white house. We cant trust him. Lastly, another twitter user says shouldnt moderators call those obvious lies out. Well, that was in the past. We are talking about the present and joe bidens current policy is to increase Social Security. Heather okay. To be clear on that. Heather it changes. Hes been in politics for heather for his whole life. Lets talk about this group of ladies who are helping Senior Citizen neighbors with groceries and other essentials. This is a great idea. Weve seen videos go viral for people scrambling for the last roll of toilet paper and people acting selfish.
