Rob the president calling on the military on fight against coronavirus as the u. S. Epicenter moves close to top of virus curve. Carley what would their role be in fighting the invisible enemy. Rob thank you so much for coming on. The timing here could be critical. The worst week in new york, what are we going to see here . In the next few days we will see military personnel from the u. S. Northern command based in Colorado Springs deploying at about a thousand people to new york. The medical professionals would include doctors, nurses, and others who have seen medical work in the battlefield and this is a battlefield for the united states. It happens to be on the home front, but theyre well equipped for this kind of activity. About 300 will be placed at the Javits Center and others will go to hospitals throughout new york and perhaps some of the makeshift hospitals that are being developed right now. Carley yeah, sounds like the critical amount of people. Do you think its enough to fight this as we enter probably the most difficult week that we have seen yet in new york city . Kiron no one knows yet but this is an attempt to be well prepared and the numbers are calculated based on what the government officials expect to happen, perhaps we can never have enough, but the fact that the u. S. Military coming in represents a sense that theres going to be discipline and logistic support, the things that the u. S. Military excels nationally and internationally will be represented in our most popular city this week. Rob talk about how this is supposed to be the last resort, final straw when you get to this point and you have to bring military in, right . Kiron i dont quite like that vocabulary. I think they represent in some ways the best of america because they bring the experience of care and responsibility of discipline and organization and commitment to mission and they work well with civilians especially Northern Command which is past with protecting the home front so i think this is expected to happen and its happening not just in new york. We are seeing in dallas, in new orleans, seattle. Coming together of civilians and military to save our nation. Carley kiron, what exactly the military personnel will be doing daytoday . Kiron providing medical support if they would all over the world. We also have expeditionary units that are excellent at providing and building airconditioning and heating system. We have a range of people, the army corps of engineers, beyond Northern Command deploying thousand forces in new york that are contributing to what new yorkers already do well but providing Additional Support and expertise, so really building out the system as the medical professionals focus in on those who need help the most. Rob hopefully providing some relief. Doctors and nurses are working so hard right now. They are just completely exhausted. They need all the help they can need. Kiron skinner, thank you so much kiron we have to worry about the military and their family and they are being stretched thin as well and the medical professionals, those who im concerned about, those being deployed to American Cities also have a responsibility back to the military, those in the military, the servicemen and women who need medical assistance and their families. Rob right. Kiron its stretching everyone in ways that perhaps we werent prepared for but we have to worry about the implications of this back to u. S. Military. Carley absolutely, 1,000 servicemen and women infected with covid19. Thank you so much for coming on, appreciate it. Kiron thank you.

This is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most americans lives quite frankly. This is going to be our pearl harbor moment. 911 moment, its not going to be localized. Itll be happening all over the country. Rob all right with cases set to peak in coming weeks or coming days what should americans prepare for fox medical contributor janet is here to weigh in. Thank you so much, doctor, for coming on today. What are you expecting here in the next week or so . So, rob, its going to be very challenging, difficult time for americans and you know, honesty and transparency is important and we will see more deaths, we will be reaching the peak. What this tells us we will go downhill. After we reach the peak, theyll be light at the end of the tunnel but we have to continue with preparedness, preparedness with staffing and supplies and continued incoming of ppes, thats so important to keep Healthcare Providers healthy and we have to continue aggressive measures like physical distancing, thats so important because we see, for example, in italy and in china, in taiwan, south korea, strong mitigation efforts work. What we did 2 or 3 weeks ago will impact what we will see this upcoming week, we still have to continue social distancing, hand hygiene and selfisolation if youre ill especially if you have a family member, other family members in the household we dont want to spread to them. Carley we see you on tv, doctor, youre in the frenches fighting this thing. Im wondering what youre experiencing on a daytoday basis. Are you seeing a rise of cases coming testing positive or slowly starting to see it fall off . Yeah, so right now, carley, im seeing a steady influx of patients. I would say about 95, 95 of may patients that come in are coronavirus patients and occasional strep throat and most of the patients are high fevers, the main is shortness of breath and its difficult because you are limited on what you can do. If theyre a good candidately candidate i will prescribe hydroxychloroquine. I see a lot of patients with diabetes. A lot of patients that smoke that come in that have copd. Good news is for most of my patients is mild to moderate symptoms. Only a handful are having to be hospitalized but hopefully we will see a reduction here in the next week or two in the number of hospitalizations and people having to be put on ventilators if we really, really continue to crack down on, you know, the preventive measure guidelines that our president and Vice President have put out for us. Rob guidelines are 24 more days of living like that. The weirdest story to come out of this thing has been bronx zoo and we have a tiger being first animal to test positive for covid19. What does this really mean . What does this mean to you . Im not surprised at all. A tiger named nadia, had dry cough and decreased appetite and amazing they swabbed the tiger and found positive for coronavirus and turns out that one of the zoo keepers or caretakers at the zoo had coronavirus. We thought originally that the virus came from a bat or a cat or some sort of animal from the wet market in wuhan, china, this is not surprising to me at all. If you at home are watching and you have animals, pets which we love our pets and animals but if you have coronavirus or youve been exposed to it, just take the extra precaution so that you dont accidentally transmit it to your pets, but we dont have any data that shows this is trance we should take precautions, im not surprised to hear that at all. Hopefully nadia would be okay. Carley whoever knew that a tiger could cough. The first one is from rob there you go. Carley she asked, reports say that 1 and 4 people are asymptomatic for covid19. How do we know if we have the virus . Thats a great question. Thats what makes this a challenge because you could be asymptomatic and be transferring it from one person to another. Thats why the cdc recently recommended if youre going to be out to run an errand, for example, picking up medication or getting food to use covering, like a bandanna or scarf but its difficult and we still dont have enough test to test everyone. If you feel that youve been exposed or if theres someone in your household that has been diagnosed with coronavirus, you should take precautions as if you could potentially be a carrier, meaning hand hygiene, keep that physical distancing 10 feet because you could be a carrier and until we have more Testing Available we can only take precautions right now. Rob i want to get to one more from karen if we can. What are extra precautions i can take to boost immune system while staying home . You know, soninlaw of some of the most important things we can do is making sure you get wellbalanced diet with fruits and vegetables, help your immune system safety. Make sure you get enough rest. No smoking, if you can do exercise at home, squats, pushups, thats very good for you and overall if you, again, if you think youve been exposed hand hygiene, selfquarantine to keep yourself healthy so you dont develop secondary infections and prevent the spread to other people. Rob doctor, good stuff. Thank you so much. Carley we will be right back. Thank you.

Well, our gym is closed that we usually go to both josh and i i have to stay healthy somehow and i start today walk and i realized, if i will walk, why not walk and see aliana. [laughter] carley absolutely. Josh, you said something very interesting on your Instagram Page that went viral. You sort of have a message for people who arent worried about getting the disease themselves and youre telling them why they should stay home for other people. Can you echo that message for viewers who are listening right now . Yeah, after i saw the picture of my dad and just seeing him and knowing how bad he wanted to be in the house with her, i just thought i know hes not worried about getting it. I know he doesnt think that we have it but he knows its safer to wait and so i realized there was a bigger message behind just looking at the picture, just seeing how eager he was to get to her but playing it safe made me realize that the rest of us, we can do this. Carley thats so sweet. You know, this probably goes without saying but whats the first thing youre going to do once you can see your family again, touch them . [laughter] well, we are going to spend quality time and have a few chats and do a lot of goofy smiling. Carley shes so precious.
