About 1. 5 million cases globally, and more than 83,000 deaths worldwide. Dr. Anthony fauci of the White House Task force says he wants to keep the pace on measures like a social distancing. Its critical. Its going to be a bad week for deaths. Driving that and ahead of that is the fact that we are going to start to see the beginning of a turnaround. So we need need to keep pushing on the mitigation strategies, because there is no doubt that is having a positive impact on the dynamics of the outbreak. Harris despite earlier catastrophic projections on the death rate, the cdc director says americans actions are helping bring that number down. What we are seeing is a large majority of the American Public are taking the social distancing recommendations to heart. I think that is the direct consequences, why you see the numbers are going to be much, much lower than would have been predicted by the models. Harris im going to bring another medical panel. Dr. Devi, new york physician, director of metropolis pain medicine. Dr. Sudip bose, Global Expert on emergency medicine and mass casualty protocol. Dr. Janette nesheiwat, city md medical director and fox news contributor. Dr. Bose, im going to start with you. We want to concentrate on what we can learn from all of this. One thing is, according to Governor Cuomo, the curve is flattening. What we are doing is working. Talk to me about how that goes forward. We cant stayathome forever. Dr. Bose good morning to you, i look forward to sharing my lessons im learning with you guys. Thats true, but we still have to keep on guard. What we are seeing in Emergency Rooms are patients are still coming in. This is still the acceleration phase. Its not always what you see on test results versus whats happening in real time, because sometimes the test results take time to come back. Not everyone gets tested. So im glad the curve is flattening, that gives me hope, but there are many parts of the u. S. And many of our listeners that are in areas that are still in an acceleration phase. Harris you know, i do want to say, coronavirus confirmed cases have topped 400,000, not 401. That was an error made earlier. I want to go to you, dr. Nesheiwat. Just on this idea of what Governor Cuomo was saying. That is that he wants to Start Testing particularly people of color, because what we are seeing across the nation in some cities is they seem to be hit by coronavirus more often and worse. He says its important to start to gather that data now. Can you speak to that . Dr. Nesheiwat absolutely. And its heartbreaking to see this Racial Health disparity. Sometimes when im at work and i have patients come in that i know have coronavirus, they are hispanic, they dont speak english, they dont understand the severity of disease come of undiagnosed diabetes. It is definitely something that we need to tackle. We need to look at the root cause of why this is happening. Is it lack of access to health care . Is it cost, is it education . Lack of understanding . Maybe a lack of transportation . All these factors we have to take a closer look at to better treat this population. These ethnic groups. Because we are only as strong and healthy as our weakest link. So, yes, thats a good idea, because i worry about those who are underprivileged and those who are of different ethnicities that maybe dont speak english. Sometimes language is a barrier. So thats a good idea to help reach out to those that may need that health care, that easier access. Its definitely something we should be looking at. Hopefully, though, we will look at having everyone with access to the testing in the care they need. Harris all right, i want to get to viewer questions right away. This is an interesting one. An Infectious Disease expert had this morning last night. But lets get to lisa h first. Lisa h is asking, how long from the time of exposure do people become contagious . Dr. Devi . Dr. Devi so, its unclear. Basically, from the information we have now, lets say you get exposed. Not everybody who is exposed actually develops the infection. But we know it can take up to 14 days, sometimes longer, usually less than five days for the person who got infected to show symptoms. There is some evidence that even a couple days before they showed symptoms they are more infectious. So its hard to know. If you have had an exposure, i would say its best to quarantine yourself or separate yourself for at least 14 days after that exposure. Because you may or may not develop obvious symptoms, but you still maybe able to transmit that infection to somebody else. Harris we can understand when people find out that they were exposed to somebody somewhere, and they are notified of that. Being nervous about that. Thats a frightening thing, when you look at the numbers every day. Yet they are told to wait for the symptoms to pop. Sometimes that weight can be excruciating. I am still curious about what happens during the time you are waiting for that fever to pop. If you caught it earlier, could you maybe save some people . I dont know. Ill move to this. I started with this a moment ago, its ready to go now. There was an Infectious Disease expert on with tucker last night with this morning. Lets watch. We are all obviously occupied and terribly concerned about whats happening right now, but we can be in the first inning of a 9inning game. We got 18 or more months to go unless you got a vaccine. Thats the kind of planning we have to deal with, getting ready for a longterm transmission situation. Harris dr. Bose, you are seeing this patient, youre in the emergency room right now. Your thoughts on what was just said . Dr. Bose this is tricky, because we are in this phase where we dont know a lot. We dont know how many people are just out there that have it. We dont have full availability of testing. So i think the biggest point for the listener is to just assume you have it. Assume you are shedding it. What we are seeing, the viral shedding, its probably not going on in the first few days. May be before you even have symptoms. I think thats the safest move. It seems hard to comprehend, but this isnt new. Even with influenza, you may be shedding the virus before you actually im hopeful for vaccines, im hopeful for what might be coming down the pipeline. For now, we have to fight with the army we have. Harris you know, its interesting, you mention the flu. Our next viewer as this question. It also mentions the flu. Lets watch. What happens next fall when flu season starts back up again . Are they going to shut the world down again, or are they just going to let the virus run its course . Harris dr. Nesheiwat . Dr. Nesheiwat well, specifically for flu, no. See, the difference between the flu and coronavirus, with flu we have experience with it. We have a vaccine, we have antiviral medicine. We know and can predict how its going to behave and how it affects patients. For the influenza virus, i doubt that. I highly doubt that, unless theres a completely new different strain thats going to come about. Hopefully we dont see a seasonal recurrence of coronavirus, but its too early to tell. Thats why we need to continue to take the guideline precautions, safety measures, and get this vaccine out as soon as we can. Harris you know what, i want to follow up to what you are saying, dr. Nesheiwat, with this idea that, come fall, we could possibly see some of this all over again. Of course, we are learning along the way. Now that we know how to flatten the curve, you can do that if we need to. Some other parts of the country wont even pop with their apex of fatalities and confirmed cases until later this year, on into august, even. Youre absolutely right. Thats why its critical to have expanded testing. To look for prevalence of this virus in the community. To look for maybe early signs of outbreaks so we can know where to focus our resources and our efforts to help prevent any huge peaks or massive spikes of thousands of people dying in the state like we have here in new york. Thats why one of the most important things that we can do is focus on having these tests available to everyone. Whether its an antibody test, an oral swab, and nasal swab. In addition to learning from what we are doing now and taking that into consideration for preparedness in the future. Harris i have to say i live of the road from a testing center, we have been talking about test availability for over a month now. Certainly we can get this figured out. I just dont know what to say about that. Its almost every sentence that everybody utters from her purse down my profession about what we need to do next. Everybody sit still, todays new bombshell politically, senator Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign.

Harris well, its been about an hour since vermont senator Bernie Sanders dropped out of the president ial race, making former Vice President joe biden the Presumptive Democratic nominee. President trump wrecked a short time ago, tweeting this. Bernie sanders is out thank you to Elizabeth Warren. If not for her, bernie would have won almost every state on super tuesday. This ended just like the democrats and the dnc wanted, same as the crooked hillary fiasco. The brainy people should come to the republican party. Trade peter doocy his life in arlington, virginia, with some of the fallout, action, and news on this. Peter . Harris, if there is a Democratic Convention this summer, delayed or online or in person or otherwise, its not going to be contested. But Bernie Sanders and his supporters say they are going to be there, trying to get things like medicare for all and Tuition Free College and student debt loan forgiveness into the official democratic platform. The ballot and all remaining states, and continued to gather delegates. While Vice President biden will be the nominee, we must continue assembling as much delegates as possible at the Democratic Convention where we will be able to exert significant influence over the party platform. It hasnt even been two months since the day of the New Hampshire primary. Joe biden was so far behind Bernie Sanders, he skipped ahead to South Carolina, and even though in the days that followed sanders won and a blowout in nevada, that biden gamble paid off. His strength of africanamerican voters sent him two big wins in South Carolina and in most super tuesday states. Sanders remains popular, though, even after a heart attack and accusations of sexism by his rival, Elizabeth Warren. Now joe biden says bernie has done something we are in politics. He hasnt just run a political campaign, he has created a movement. Make no mistake about it, i believe its a movement as powerful today as it was yesterday. Thats a good thing for our nation and our future. And now the loser out of three of the first for nominating contest, joe biden, is your Presumptive Democratic nominee. Harris . Harris peter doocy, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Okay, i want to bring back the medical panel now. Dr. Devi, dr. Nesheiwat, dr. Bose. I want to get something straight off my twitter before we get to other questions, because its popping to me. I think its a good question. If we have deaths with normal flu, why do so many people die every year from it, dr. Nesheiwat, i know the shot has something to do with it. The flu shot. Dr. Nesheiwat well, the flu shot and vaccines for the most part help save lives. The flu vaccine has helped save thousands of lives every year. Of course its not 100 effective, but the flu can be a very serious disease for some people. Especially if you have underlying medical disease. Asthma, copd, a weakened immune system, if youre a smoker. And it can affect some people who have no health problems, as well. We cant control everything and prevent every disease and virus in this country, but we can at least take precautions. Keep your hands washed and clean, dont rub your eyes, dont rub your nose, get your vaccine. If you are sick, dr. Doctor, because we have medications. Thats part of nature and part of life, that its going to happen. Until we can get a vaccine that can fully, versus 40 or 50 be effective, be closer to 90 or 100 . And we have to focus on whats called herd immunity. The more we can get the population immunized, the less number of deaths we will have. This past flu season it was estimated 22,000 to 40,000 deaths. Two years ago we had about 80,000 deaths. Of the steps, the majority of them were not vaccinated, harris. The majority of those people were not vaccinated. That definitely plays a huge role, in my opinion. Harris if people are making the choice not to get the vaccination, it cant really change herd immunity very effectively. Maybe thats the big question about coronavirus, too. If one pops onto the market and this comes back every season, how do we know people will help build that herd immunity . We dont know. We just know theres a crisis right now. I thought it was an interesting question. I want to get to this, it came up during the White House Task force press briefing yesterday. It was from dr. Fauci on people of color. Watch. When you look at the predisposing conditions that lead to a bad outcome with coronavirus, the things that get people into icus that require intubation and often lead to death, those are just those very corcomorbidities that aredispron the africanamerican population. There is nothing we can do about it right now except try and give them the best possible care to avoid those complications. Harris and of course, dr. Bose, the president spoke on that issue, too. Looking for those commonalities of why people in minority communities fall more often and more tragically to covid19. What do you think . Dr. Bose well, from an Emergency Department point of view, as a fellow of the American College of emergency physicians, we treat anyone, anytime, for anything. When you do look at certain demographics, they do have more challenges. For example, in my personal experience and expense across the country in Emergency Rooms, africanamericans and latinos have higher rates of certain conditions. Debbidiabetes, hypertension, ob. It could be access to transportation, it could be if you look at the quality of care, the cost of care, the access to care. These are things that i am hopeful even in the precovid world, this was a problem. Im hoping that now in the postcovid world we can really tackle those issues and fix them. Harris you know, dr. Devi, we saw this as well with other things we were just talking about influenza. We have seen this in communities of color, as well. Im curious how we, though, change it during a pandemic. What do we need to do . The governor of new york says he wants more testing in those communities. Dr. Devi i think we have to look at our policy so far, and the history of why they might have some of these changes. If we look generally, most people watching this pandemic evolve, they are skeptical about different aspects of it. Like who knew what, when, even starting from china. If you look at the Africanamerican Community in particular, they might have even more skepticism about our health care system. The tuskegee study, for example, that was another Infectious Disease. Syphilis. It was killing people, by the hundred thousands. What happened at that time was the cdc and other researchers and doctors decided to do a study where they looked at how syphilis evolves. Even when there was a cure, like penicillin, these africanamericans who were part of the military, they didnt get it. Instead, the doctors let the people continue to get sick to see what would happen. The cdc justified it by saying this was Critical Research that we needed. I think a lot of africanamericans may be very skeptical seeing all these images of the cdc and these experiments being done. On top of that, if you look at another figure, henrietta lacks, there is an oprah movie more recently, she had cancer and went to Johns Hopkins. We hear a lot about Johns Hopkins, even from the mass we are currently seeing. She went to Johns Hopkins for treatment, and a cancer doctor was also a virologist, ironically. Instead of focusing solely on her care, he actually used her cells to facilitate his research and to make money off of that while she and her family suffered. Harris oh, wow. Dr. Devi i think these historical factors will play in here. Maybe they are contributing to people seeking treatment at a later stage. Not just for coronavirus, but for all these different conditions. I will just add harris i had not heard this part of the feedback as detailed as you were laying it out. Preexisting conditions and those things. But, dr. Devi, very interesting. Stay put, everybody. We have more viewer questions coming up. The dow jones is soaring today. The markets are on a wild ride. Weve known it for a couple weeks, even longer. Now the white house is weighing plans to eventually reopen the economy. What would that look like . When is that going to happen . The one thing i can assure you is that the president s decision in that regard is going to be informed by what the data shows, and decisions about when we can responsibly reopen america. Our members understand social distancing. Being prepared and overcoming challenges. Usaa has been standing with them for nearly a hundred years. And well be here to serve you for a hundred more. Trust us. Us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. Dont think so . Hold my pouch. If we werent able to stream anything, i think theyd be lost. vo we are all home right now.

These local musical harris stocks are soaring again today amid volatile trading as the covid19 pandemic rages on. This, as a new Financial Times poll has found nearly three quarters of americans saying the pandemic has reduced their family income. Both on the higher and lower end of the economic spectrum. Meanwhile, President Trump said his team is looking at plans to reopen the economy, particularly in areas less affected so far by the outbreak. Watch. Id love to open with a big bang. One, beautiful country, just opened. But its very possible, there are some areas that are not affected very much. We are looking at two concepts pay the concept to open up sections, and also the concept where you open up everything. Harris art laffer, former Economic Advisor to president reagan, is with me now. Art, good to see you. Good to see you, harris. Harris we will reopen at some point. What should it look like when we start to reopen, based on what youre watching right now . Well, there are a lot of things that can be done. For the first place, you can open up different types of businesses that are more or less affected by the coronavirus. Second thing you can open up by different people. The impact of coronavirus on different segments of the population is very, very different. Im almost 80 years old, harris, and supposedly the elderly especially elderly males are much more at risk. So maybe you want to keep them quarantined for a while and let other groups that are much less at risk get back to work. So there are a lot of different ways. My, of course, preferred way is to increase economic incentives and let people make their own decisions. Id like to do Something Like waive the payroll tax through december 31st, would you be a huge incentive for people to come back to work as soon as they possibly can, comfortably. And it would be a huge incentive for employers to retain workers and hire new ones once they are available for doing it. Harris thats really interesting. I had read that you wanted to see Something Like that in lieu of the stimulus weve seen, but youre saying even now you could still do it. Certainly with talk of a phase s coming. Perhaps this in lieu of that, until the end of the year. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin says he spoke with congressional leaders, getting additional monies for Small Businesses, because that has been a tender spot. Lets watch. Id love to open with a big bang. One, beautiful country. Just opened. But its very possible, you know, there are some areas that are not affected very much. We looking at two concepts. That we open up sections, and also the concept where you open up everything. Harris all right, so, we have seen that from the president twice. That was a technical difficulty there. Yes, we have. Im old, but i dont forget that easily, harris. [laughs] just joking. Harris for some people, they are watching and they like all that good news twice. So we gave it to them. I love it. Harris 250 billion, secretary mnuchin is saying. More for Small Businesses. It has been a tough rollout, to help them out, because there is so many. They are 66 of the hiring in the economy right now. Yeah. You know, when you look at this Small Business, the government shouldnt be picking winners and losers. The government should be setting a set of policies and let the markets do the job. One of the problems i had with the 2. 3 trillion was they tried to pick winners and losers and everyone has been hurt and hurt badly by the coronavirus. But what we need to do is get the country back up, and then start worrying about picking winners and losers. I dont think we should ever do that. So, i would like to see a very broadbased tax cut, and that would stimulate every business in america equally. If a person tired by big business or Small Business, who cares as long as they have a highpaying job in producing welcome xp when i can hear people clapping the background, breaking out all over america, that they want to get back to work. Let me ask you this. Im watching the dow, is having another good day. I wonder if it has to do anything with the last hour. Someone who isnt admitted democratic socialist suspend his campaign. Did this react in the markets like you did before the pandemic . I dont know if it did like it did before the pandemic. Let me say very seriously, as a trump supporter and a guy who thinks trump is one of the best president s weve ever had, i was delighted to see joe biden win the democratic primary. Not because i want to vote for joe biden, but because i think Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders would be very, very bad for this country. If by chance i think its a small chance if biden wins the election, i think you do a lot better job than any democratic candidate that was running for office. Im very pleased that joe biden is winning the nomination for the democratic party. Harris as you said, someone who really loves the current president. Art laffer, great to see you today. By the way, you dont look a moment over 65. It is the new 80. Let me tell you, the one show ive enjoyed i saw the interview where you were looking at your history, your dad and all the relationship they are, and it brought tears to my eyes. It was just such a lovely show. Around me of my dads relationship. What a great show that was that i watch. He must have been a year and a half or two years ago now. Harris yes. Thank you, sir. I appreciate you being on the program talking money with me today. Thank you. My pleasure, harris the acting Navy Secretary is out of a job in the wake of his profanitylaced rant about the captain on that virusstricken Aircraft Carrier. The latest on that, next. At bayer, we make medicine like aleve that provides strong, longlasting pain relief, so sean can help push her on her next adventure. At bayer, this is why we science. All rightyeah. s do it. laughing but one thing hasnt breakfast. And, if that feels like a little bit of comfort, its thanks to. The farmers, the line workers and truckers, the grocery stockers and cashiers, and the food bank workers, because right now breakfast as usual is more essential than ever. To everyone around the world working so hard to bring breakfast to the table, thank you. Is the co musical harris well, it has been quite a few days. Acting Navy Secretary thomas modly has stepped down after calling navy captain Brett Crozier, whom he fired from the ship, too stupid to command the uss they do theodore roosevelt, after his memo warning about an outbrk on that carrier. President trump weighed in on modlys resignation and with a crozier could get his job back. Watch. Ive heard. I dont know him, but ive heard he was a very good man. The captain should not have written the letter. He didnt have to be ernest hemingway. They going to just take it under regular navy channels to see what they want to do. But he made a mistake. He shouldnt have done that. The secretary probably shouldnt have said quite what he said. Harris jennifer griffin, live at the pentagon. Jennifer, we are looking to the next chapter in all of this. Thats right, harris. It wasnt so much the profanity used by the acting Navy Secretary during that visit to the ship, but his lack of judgment in handling this crisis for the navy. The state of captain Brett Crozier come as a mention, the former Teddy Roosevelt skipper, now rests with the navy brass. Their investigation should be delivered within the week. The defense secretary accepted thomas modlys resignation almost medially after he returned home from guam. He not only had to resign, but is now quarantined having been exposed to the virus on board the Aircraft Carrier. The acting Navy Secretary addressed the crew who cheered the skipper he fired last week. Crew members listened in disbelief as modly attacked the press, cast aspersions on president ial candidate joe biden, and captain crozier, who wrote that letter pleading for the navy to remove the sailors from the carrier amidst driving covid cases. This audio from his profanitylaced rant. It was my opinion that if he didnt take that information, it was going to get out into the public. This Information Age that we live in, he was either too naive or too stupid to be the Commanding Officer of a ship like this. He initially stood by those words but later did an aboutface. I want to apologize to the navy for my recent comments to the crew of the tr. Let me be clear, i do not think captain Brett Crozier is naive nor stupid. I think and always believed him to be the opposite. The chairman of the House Armed Services committee, democrat adam smith, said it was out of character for the acting Navy Secretary he knew. I would a competent, capable veteran who has extensive experience, extensive leadership skills, make what seemed like such an obvious mistake . I think its because everyone over there is trying to figure out, how do i stay in the good graces of the tyrant across the river . Who could potentially far them tomorrow if they dont. Crew members on the roosevelt celebrated modlys resignation, harris. Harris jennifer, thank you very much. You set me up perfect for the general now. I want to bring in a retired fourstar general jack keane, fox news senior strategic analyst and chairman of the institute for the study of war. General, this went all sideways pretty quickly. Im curious, just to begin with you, on how you describe what just happened. Gen. Keane well, first of all, its a very unfortunate situation. Everybody involved here is so wellintentioned and so experienced and had led great public and private lives before this. I think there is no denying the fact that the secretary of the navy made this a very personal issue, harris, right from the outset. As a result of that, it denied him the sufficient emotional discipline that is required to see him through the crisis and use the capable leaders, some four admirals, that were between him and the captain. I think if he had done that it would have gave us a much more reasonable conclusion and result, where the focus would have been remaining on the health of the crews. And not this public fiasco that we have entered into, where the secretary of the navy becomes the story, where he extends the life of the story by granting interviews, writing an oped, traveling all the way to guam. All of this is done to justify what . Why he relieved the captain. I dont think he goes to the Aircraft Carrier if the crew did not respond in such a positive way, in supporting the navy captain. So, here we have a Navy Secretary and adam smith is trying to find out why he lost his way . I just gave you a reasonable explanation of why that happened. Harris yeah, thats really interesting. Always interesting to get the take of someone who has led so many, general, as you have. What should happen next with the captain of the ship, the commander who wrote the letter that leaked to the media trying to say theres a lot of covid19 among the people on the ship . Legitimately looking out for them, but what should happen to him now . The president is saying they are going to take a look. Gen. Keane thats kind of interesting. The captain spoke, as i understand it, to the secretary of the navy days before he wrote the letter paid actually, the secretary of the navy, by the way, wanted to come out there and give him a hand on the ship. The captain waved him off. Thats the last thing he needed, the secretary of the navy giving him a hand on the ship. He also gave him his cell phone number, by the way. That gives you a sense of how personally involved he was. The guy in charge of the navy, uniform 4star, also spoke to him. Also the chain of command. So why did he write a letter on the nonsecure net . I think its because he wanted to go on record. I think he knew full well he was likely taking his career in his hands there. Because something happened in that chain of command that he believed they were not being responsive to him despite conversations he was having with them, and he wanted to put it in writing. That, i think, set up the secretary to get involved. Because he was betrayed. The navy has conducted an investigation. I believe the admirals, if they had making this decision, they wouldnt have relieved him right away. They would have conducted an investigation like theyre doing. Harris do you think he gets his job back . Gen. Keane i dont know, it depends on the investigation. Heres some of the parameters, so im not dodging the question. We dont know if there was an intent what he was doing for this to become a public disclosure. I think it would be asked to leave the navy, to be quite frank about it. Much less get his job back. What other evidence there is, to determine what the motivation was in doing it, if there was any other wrongdoing surrounding it, it remains to be seen as a result the investigation. The admirals can get to the bottom of the sun come up with a conclusion and make a solid recommendation on what to do with the captain, also. Lets learn what happened, as well. Harris spoken like a general i know well. General jack keane, thank you very much for weighing in on all of this. Appreciate your time and your expertise, sir. Gen. Keane good talking to you, harris. Harris as the number of positive coronavirus confirmed cases has now popped above 400,000 today, why some Officials Say we could be flattening the curve and parts of the nation even as the number of deaths continued to spike.

Harris now, for more coronavirus pandemic questions answered. The federal government is now classifying all covid19 patient deaths as such, regardless of whether any other Underlying Health issues were a factor. This, as the death toll in the United States just topped 13,000. How many of those people had other health risks at play, though . And maybe it wasnt, in fact, covid19 that cause their death. Dr. Deborah birx with the task force at the white house explains it this way. Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a covid19 death. Right now we are still recording it. The intent is, right now, if someone dies with covid19, we are counting that as a covid19 death. Harris the medical panel now. Dr. Devi, dr. Bose, dr. Nesheiwat. Dr. Nesheiwat, im going to start with you. What is the significance of this . Dr. Nesheiwat well, it gives you an accurate information. Just because you had coronavirus doesnt mean you will pass from it. You could have died from heart attack. For example, one of the leading cause of death in diabetics as heart disease. Just because you acquire coronavirus does not mean thats going to be the cause of death. I dont think its going to be a huge discrepancy in the data in the end, but it definitely will give us some false numbers, some inaccurate numbers. But i dont think itll be a significant difference. Harris thomas b has this question. Lets watch together. Hi, my name is maria. Im from wisconsin, and im just curious, i take two preventive asthma medications. Im wondering if that would help me prevent getting the coronavirus. Harris obviously that was not thomas b, which is what i had called, but thats the great question. Dr. Bose . Dr. Bose we are still learning more about covid and how it affects asthmatics. From the Emergency Department point of view, a couple of points that may help. To answer this question, i dont think it actually prevents you from getting covid. One thing we are finding is the nebulizer machines that asthmatics use, they actually can spread the virus all over the room. Here in the emergency room, we are worried about that, too pay that affects the family members and loved ones of the asthmatics, because you dont want the particles aerosolized everywhere to get inhaled by others. Spew what ive got to pause you there. A lot of people with young children, ive seen it, use those nebulizer machines. Sometimes they will get bronchitis that they cant get over. It doesnt mean they have asthma, but theyll get albuterol or whatever in that machine. How does that spread covid19 . Dr. Bose you are civilizing the particles. Thats essentially what you are doing in the nebulizer machine come putting the liquid albuterol or whatever medicine it is, turning it into a mist that you inhale. If that mist is mixed with coronavirus, that mist is going everywhere. The loved ones, what we are seeing in the e. R. Is a lot of people getting infected have someone who is sick in the house. Especially in asthmatics, harris alliesing that can be highrisk. Harris jack j asks, why not suspend the hipaa rule so the names of those infected can be published connect that might help people know that theyve been exposed. Dr. Devi . Dr. Devi there are two things there. You dont want people who have been exposed to these consequences themselves to be stigmatized or have people harass them. Generally we want to respect patientss privacy. But i do agree that some of the hipaa rules are making it difficult for doctors to share data and take in information as quickly as possible. Also, if hipaa was relaxed a little bit, the media would be able to get a better picture of what exactly is going on inside these hospitals and why it is so important that people are staying home and flattening the curve.
