Mark. Stocks took another nosedive today, nearly a racing the last of the gains made since president took office in 2016 and triggered another automatic 15 minute shut down. The senate has passed the house version of a relief measure, its now on its way to the president for signature. Ford and General Motors will temporarily close all of their north american factories. President trump and canadas Prime Minister have closed the shared border to nonessential travel. The American Red Cross said the cancellation of blood drives has left it with a shortage of blood to. The department of housing and urban development has suspended foreclosures and evictions for the next month and there is an increasing number of stories today of patients fully recovering from covid19 and returning to normal everyday life. If that is opening new doors to Treatment Options and vaccine efforts around the world. John roberts starts us off tonight from the north lawn. In the face of continued economic uncertainty, the white house is considering more bold moves including possibly taking an equity stake in large corporations, possibly covering revenues for small businesses. On the health front today, there were more bold moves as well. The president called in the cavalry direct to the military to send the hospital ship comfort to new york harbor and mercy to th the west coast. A thing like this has never been requested, we need respirators, we need ventilators, its a complex piece of equipment. We have a lot of ventilators but we are going to be ordering them. President trump said he was authorizing the act, earlier Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer urged him to use it and use it now. We know in two weeks the number of ventilators might become a massive problem. We must get ahead of it now. The bill is passed. As the senate move to pass the house bill on testing, paid leave, and Unemployment Insurance the treasury secretary said the next phase of fiscal stimulus could top 1. 3 trillion. The Treasury Department will be sending out checks in two tranches worth 250 billion apiece, the first on april 6th and the second on may 18th. The size of the individual checks still unknown. Hasnt been determined yet but it will shortly be determined and people want to go big. Everyone wants to go big. The president saying america is on a wartime footing. Im in a sense a wartime president , thats what we are fighting. New data out of france and italy shows a troubling increase in serious illness among younger people who were assumed to have a natural resistance to the virus and could even carry it without symptoms. There may be a disproportional infections among that group, even if its a rare occurrence, it may be seen more frequently in that group and to be evident now. Dr. Deborah Birx Deborah Birx also alerting americans to prepare for a spike in the infection numbers but only because a backlog of tests will now be run through a highspeed system. We will see the number of people diagnosed dramatically increase over the next four to five days. Several times a day President Trump referred to coronavirus as the chinese virus, he made no apologies insisting hes only talking about where it came from and denied any racial overtones. Is not racist at all. It comes from accurate. As you know, china tried to say at one point, maybe they stopped now, that it was caused by american soldiers. That cant happen, its not going to happen, not as long as im president. It comes from china. The white house defendant the president on twitter, spanish flu, west nile virus, ebola, and zeke i were all named for places. Officials say they dont know if coronavirus will follow the typical seasonality pattern although they are encouraged by a tail off in places like china and south korea. Bret john roberts live on the north lawn. The dow hemorrhaged 1300 points a loss of 6 , the s p 500 was down 131, the nasdaq lost 345 today. Lets get some analysis on the big drop off. What a daytoday, just within the last hour we found out that New York Stock Exchange employees did test positive for covid19. Its one employee who works upstairs and another who works on the floor as a traitor. The New York Stock Exchange is telling us that titor was stopped at the front gate, they have been taking everybodys temperatures and having them fill out forms to enter the building. He was turned around and told to go home and we have found out he has tested positive and the New York Stock Exchange will close on monday. Everyone will turn to all electronic trading. Its been quite a volatile day. The dow closed about 6 lower, the s p dropped about 5 and the nasdaq closed about 4 lower but for the fourth time in two weeks we had all markets halted, a Circuit Breaker was enacted in order to stop stocks from falling even further. Oil plummeted to lowes that we havent seen since 2002 closing at 22. 39 per share. This comes a as a travel lock downs have spread across the globe. Last but not least you have the big three automakers in detroit, all confirming they are going to be ceasing operations until at least march 30th. This has to do with pressure from the union as well as employees who are concerned about the spread of the virus. Im going to bring it full circle and try to end on a positive note with regards to walmart, that is one dow company that did end the day much higher. It hit a record high and this is because walmart is benefiting from people stockpiling food as well as other retailers closing up shop. Walmart one of the dow components hit a record high in the last month, lots of volatility from the New York Stock Exchange floor. Bret we are going to talk about how the virus is impacting the economy and business. Joining me tonight as frederick smith, ceo of fedex, thanks for being here. How do you see this, your company is uniquely positione positioned how do you see how this is affecting the world in the world of business . We first got into the coronavirus situation with our operations in china, some of your viewers may not know we operate virtually every place in the world. We move packages and freight to both people and businesses. In wuhan china which is the epicenter of the coronavirus, we have 907 employees. We began to deal with the issue very early on. Four of them were diagnosed with covid19, all four of them have recovered. We continue to operate every place in the world. It china at the moment about 90 of the Big Manufacturing Companies in china are back to work, smaller manufacturers probably 6065 . Large backlogs from china now to the United States and to europe, interestingly enough even though europe where we have about 50,000 employees, a small number of diagnosed cases is in certain cases under lockdown. We are permitted to operate as a central transportation. We are dealing with it every place. Bret i want to get to the health of your company and forecast about business but i want to talk about the practical running your company for people accepting a package, what do you tell them about interacting with your folks and how you are keeping your people healthy and safe . The number one consideration when we first came up with this issue was the health of our teammates and the safety of our teammates. We have a large flying operation in and out of china and throughout asia to give you an idea of the scope of that just last week we had 200 and almost 50 flights in and out of china. We have taken extraordinary measures just cleansing everything, making sure the places where our pilots stayed were completely disinfected, surgically protective equipment in certain places for our ground employees. Both the w. H. O. And the cdc, the World Health Organization and our cdc have said that the virus not transmittable on packages. We dont have any risk of their although we have done things like suspend signature delivery requirements. Bret your Company Reported sales right through this virus, you pull back on Earnings Guidance because you simply dont know. I guess as you look forward, do you expect layoffs and is the low cost of fuel going to buffer you a bit . How do you foresee it . Based on what weve seen in china with the lockdown there, chinas cases peaked at 85,000 and as dr. Fauci talked about, the curve flattened which is what the president and all the political leaders are trying to do with the social distancing. That actually happened in china. Then you have europe get the virus particularly italy and to a lesser degree spain and germany and france and the u. K. , they had a lockdown as they did in china. You should start see flattening there and weve taken extraordinary measures here. Today the auto manufacturers announced they were shutting down many of the stores have shut down, that will affect our business to business traffic. You mentioned a moment ago walmart is delivering a significant amount of items and their business is up. We deliver millions and millions of items over the period of time we are talking about for walmart, they are one of our great customers as many other retailers are like target and so forth. We are involved on that side of the equation too supplying people who are staying at home. Bret you are a member of the dow transports which obviously includes commercial airlines and they are taking a hit. There forecast not that bright. What is your thought about what the federal government should be doing, do you expect help from the federal government . Weve taken extraordinary steps to ensure we have adequate liquidity and i think we have planned well for that. In the case of the passenger airlines, our purple tails are flying across the pacific and the atlantic. The Passenger Carriers who carry a lot of cargo including some for us in their underbellys are mostly shut down. They have a tremendous problem with no revenue coming in. We dont have problems like they do and im confident that the administration is going to do something to help them, perhaps invest preferred shares, like they did during the financial crisis, loan guarantees and i suspect they will do the same thing for our great aircraft manufacturer boeing. Bret last thing, im sensing you see a light of the end of the tunnel but from all the things that are talked about from the federal government, you had larry kudlow suggest to reporters that if the government puts into some companies, some significant amount that they might take a piece of that company as far as equity. Do you buy into that . Thats what the government did when they rescued chrysler years back, thats what they did during the financial crisis with aig, they took a big piece of straight equity there and made quite a bit of money. Im confident if that is the route that the administration chooses our great airlines if they could have some help with some preferred shares will make a lot of money for the government and they will be able to redeem the shares in pretty short order. I would think this is going to be a v shaped recovery, not a long drawn out situation based on what weve seen in china and we are hopeful in that regard. Bret we appreciate your time and we hope you keep delivering those practices around the world, thank you very much. Cap next we will take your questions about the pandemic with Fox News Contributor here is what some of our affiliates are covering tonight. Fox 29 in philadelphia were Police Officers have been instructed to stop making arrests for certain nonviolent crimes because of the coronavirus.

Yeah let me try all alright, get it blow it up thats what im talking about. Except thats my seat, so. All right, so maybe after the movie lets talk about that bedroom of yours when was she in our bedroom . [ fastpaced drumming ] bret we will continue this segment as long as we have to, were going to take more of your questions about this pandemic. Joining us tonight, dr. Nicole saphier. Lets get to your questions, sam is up. This is Sam Cooper Jan in gainesville, georgia, and here at the office we have been vigilant about washing our hand, im wondering is it necessary to have antibacterial soap or can we use just the soap that we have on hand. Thank you and i appreciate you doing this segment. Thats a great question and i have been asked that a lot. If you dont necessarily need antibacterial or antiviral soap. A lot of our data shows those dont necessarily work better than soap and water. If you wet your hands and when t better, really get those suds going and rinse it all off, rinsing it off is key and make sure you dont use your hand and turn off the faucet. Dry your hands first and whatever you used to dry your hands, then turn off the faucet. You dont necessarily need antibacterial soap to clean your hands off. Bret im glad you said 20 seconds i dont know if i have the 20 minutes. James is up next. Id like to know what our risk is with take out service from restaurants in light of many people behind the scenes. Bret i get a lot of questions, a lot of twitter, facebook, people going to take out getting carry out or take out, what is the risk . Unfortunately we dont necessarily know. I implore people to please support your small businesses, we dont want to stop ordering takeout. There has been some data that has come out over the last week or so that shows the virus can actually live on containers and plastics, we have to be as careful as possible. If you are getting takeout delivery, sometimes i say take off the packaging outside of your house when you bring it in your house, make sure you are really washing your hands, wipe down any surfaces it touches. Use your own utensils. Its really hard to reduce your risk to zero but by practicing these methods, you definitely are reducing your risk. Bret what about the food itself . I would really help the people packaging them arent necessarily breathing on her coughing on but we dont necessarily know. You can call ahead to your restaurant and say what are they doing, are they having their food handlers and cooks with masks on to protect any aerosol transmission of the virus . These are legitimate and reasonable questions you can call ahead and ask them if they are taking the appropriate measures, then perhaps you dont order out. Bret ive got a couple twitter here, can pets contract coronavirus . There is back and forth and the latest data, very small studies coming back saying that pets themselves specifically dogs dont actually contract the virus and cannot reinfect someone in general. Certain viruses tend to go with species we are all mammals and viruses can go from mammal to mammal although this one isnt showing that it can. You want to keep your pets safe so i like to say everyone should just pretend they are infected and everyone around them is infected so maybe humans should just consider their pets may be infected although the likelihood is they are actually not. Bret thats a great point. Act like you are even though you may not be. Heres another tweet, how many strains of the virus are there . Theres a report that there are two and we could get more. Is ibuprofen okay to take if you contract the virus . There are reports ibuprofen can make the virus worse. Two very Big Questions are lets talk about the two strains. China has identified two separate strains, the l strain that being a bit more severe and lethal, that is the majority of what people are dying from as opposed to the s strain which has more mild symptoms. Viruses want to survive, they find if they are killing you to quickly, thats not good for them. Often times they will mutate and they tend to mutate to a more mild strain. People are starting to question is there something more lethal going on, we have not heard anything or at least i have not heard anything i think there are multifactors that are causing the problems that weve seen in italy. As far as the two strains, the more mild symptoms is what weve been seeing in the United States. The other question is very good come of the World Health Organization just came out today recommending not to take antiinflammatories such as ibuprofen because there had been some reports out of france that are actually saying when you take these antiinflammatories it seems to be exacerbating symptoms and that is possibly due to interruption in the inflammatory pathway which are fancy terms for chemicals that are released in your body to fight off infections. If thats what we are seeing with people who have more severe forms. Its not necessarily the virus is taking over the body, its the bodys response to the virus that is consuming the body. Bret that was a big one, we are going to end on this. I wanted to ask your experts what their thoughts are on the Silver Lining of this extreme measures to contain the Coronavirus Impact on regular contagious diseases like the influenza and the influence that has on a reduced number of hospital visits for those folks. Looking for a Silver Lining. Bret does the regular flu go down because we are doing all this stuff . Its always great to look at the Silver Lining in the truth is all of these pharmaceutical methods that we are doing right now, the social distancing come of the washing of the hands, the not touching of the faces, these are all great things and i would imagine we would be seeing fewer cases. More people going to the Doctors Office are not presented with flu what is this time last year they had more cases and i think that has to do with people are following directions. There are things to learn with what we are dealing with, we are likely going to have a vaccine for the coronavirus by years end. We havent had one before that has been proven effective and safe, this would be a great thing for us in case there is another novel coronavirus, we can step up and utilize the one we have and we will have a lot more data for antivirals and antibody treatments to treat the infection. Bret great stuff, thank you so much. We will continue to do this, we have many more questions and we will bring them to you each night. Another big primary night for joe biden and another tough night for bernie sanders. Isnt f your hosting abilities . Its like getting a Samsung Galaxy s20 5g, and not getting it with at t.

Bret the coronavirus pandemic is giving President Trumps opponents and critics a lot of ammunition heading into the fall reelection campaign. Today the president dismissed any concern. Kristin fisher looks at some of the potential political risks and rewards. President trump is facing the most critical test of his presidency in the middle of his reelection campaign. After initially comparing the coronavirus to the flu and suggesting it would all be over by april. In theory when it gets a little warmer, and miraculously goes away he has now declared a National Emergency and has conceded it may not go away before election day. The shift in tone has given an opening to his opponents. Hes undermining the doctors and the scientists were trying to help the american people. The administrations failure on testing is colossal. In crisis there is also opportunity and political strategists on both sides of the aisle say this pandemic has the potential to do for President Trump the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon what 9 11 did for president george w. Bush. Hes the hes the president of the United States in the midst of a crisis, it took them a long time to acknowledge the depth of that crisis but if he consistently appears to be wrestling with that crisis, this is a country that likes to rally behind the leader. Political rallies have been canceled until further notice but the Trump Campaign believes it is uniquely equipped for this moment. We are shifting into data and tech mode, we are the most technologically savvy campaign in the history of politics. The good economy was the president s strong suit, now it is in jeopardy but the strategists say the American Public would not hold him responsible for a recession. I think the biggest judgment they are going to render on him is how did he handle the moment of crisis . Did he get us through it and they are going to make a global judgment about that and that is going to color his image in the fall a great deal. We are now entering uncharted territory for political campaigns. There was the spanish flu of 1918 but that was a midterm election, this is the first time in modern history that a pandemic that is this disruptive to daily life is happening during a president ial election. Bret thank you. Intimates democracy 2020 report, democratic president ial candidate is denying a report that hes preparing to withdraw from the race. Joe biden is celebrating a clean sweep of illinois, florida and arizona, with ohio delayed. A correspondent peter doocy has the latest tonight. Bernie sanders is not dropping out but after going winless tuesday his Campaign Manager emailed supporters, no sugar coating it, last night did not go the way we want it. At senator sanders didnt say one word about tuesday primaries in his remarks keeping coronavirus front and center. The main point to be made tonight is that in this moment of crisis, it is imperative that we stand together. After work, hes heading back home. His Campaign Manager explains after his vote, they are going to get back to vermont and once there they will begin holding conversations from supporters to get input and assess the path forward its not impossible but biden leads by 296 delegates, more than halfway to a majority in his campaign is applying pressure writing in a memo senator sanders would need to win every remaining contest by 40 points, that would require reaching 70 of support which is double his Current National polling average of 35 . Biden is trying to get sandor supporters to cross over. Let me say to the young voters who have been inspired by senator sanders. I hear you, i know whats at stake, i know what we have to do. Died in live streamed from his house at wilmington, for the second week in a row they have scrapped Election Night rallies as contenders confront the new reality facing voters. I want to thank all the Public Officials and the poll workers who worked closely with the Public Health authorities to ensure safe opportunities for voting, to clean and disinfect voting booths and make sure voters could cast their ballots will maintaining distance from one another. A candidate did drop out because his opponent reach the delegate threshold to clinch the nomination but it was over on the republican side. Bill weld departs and the rnc will nominate donald trump. Bret up next, its not just toilet paper and water, we will tell you what else your fellow americans are buying in huge numbers, next. My blood sugar and a1c. Because i can still make my own insulin. And trulicity activates my body to release it like its supposed to. Trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. Its not insulin. I take it once a week. It starts acting in my body from the first dose. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. I have it within me to lower my a1c.

Bret you know americans are stocking up on bread and water and toilet paper, but tonight well tell you what else your fellow citizens are buying in big numbers. National correspondent william la jeunesse shows us from los angeles. From new york to california. With everything rapidly declining, its now or never. Maybe i wont be able to get it tomorrow, a little bit of uncertainty. Gun sales around the u. S. Shooting sky high. They dont care, they want something. They dont care what it is, it doesnt matter, just give me something. The fbi says background checks surged to a near record of 3 million in february. Im afraid of what might happen if they go into martial law, they cant get to the markets or have food. They are going to resort to losing peoples houses. Everyone is scared and they are uncertain. What youre going to experience is people preparing themselves. Its not vigilantes, its people concerned about protecting their families. Ammunition is in short supply. Ammo is ridiculous, we got in an order of 6,009millimeter, they are already gone. 90 are new buyers including asianamericans. I encounter people who tell me to stay inside, wash my hands, get out of here. These panic gun sales arent going to put food on the table for anybody. Law enforcement fears new buyers means new accidents. If you have one secured safely, its inaccessible. Nine other states require a waiting period of three to ten days. For these people concerned about the coronavirus and its fallout, they will have to wait. Bret thank you. Up next, the panel with the latest on the pandemic and the response. Beyond our borders. Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has declared a unilateral ceasefire with communist guerrillas to focus on fighting the outbreak. He has placed the northern third of the country under quarantine, he is urging the marxist guerrillas to respond with their own ceasefire. Pakistans military says Security Forces raided a militant hideout in a former alabama stronghold triggering a shootout there that killed four soldiers and seven terrorists. If the suspect belonged to a Pakistani Terror Group and were planning to carry out attacks. Clashes broke out overnight on greeces border with turkey after 500 migrants attempted to break down a border fence and enter greece. Police say they used tear gas to repel the migrants, and turkish authorities also fired tear gas at the greek border.

We are sending upon request the two hospital ships being prepared, massive ships. I have directed the hospital ships mercy and comfort to be prepared to deploy to increase the nations medical capacity and we have also alerted a variety of hospitals to be prepared to deploy as needed. Bret the defense secretary on our show last night talking about deployment of u. S. Military assets to fight this. Taking a look at the numbers, total number of cases 7,663, total deaths 115. Worldwide more than 21,408,700 deaths but total recovered at this. 83313. The dow taking a big dive and recovering a bit, the senator moving forward with the house bill to face two. If you look at the dow since the president s election, take a look at that rise and that dramatic fall when the coronavirus hit. Lets bring in our panel, charles hurt opinion editor for the washington times, mara liasson of National Public radio and steve hayes editor of the dispatch. We are looking at what the federal government is doing, we have seen the second phase headed to the president s desk and it seems like more is on the way, a significant amount more. Its an Encouraging Development you heard the president described himself as a wartime president because thats what we need from the white house and the administration. You need the federal government scrambling to catch up to the states and the kind of measures we now see the federal government they are now moving the military ships to places that could be a good outcome. I would like to see them move on ventilators, additional protective gear for physicians and Health Workers to make sure that bret we should get our heads around the fact that these numbers are going to explode as in the place. At the administration has been trying to prepare people for that. We have been flying blind unlike other countries we didnt test massively in the last two months since it arrived on our shores. People are going to get tested and we will find out how widespread this is and its going to be a shock. On the other hand, once we know who has it its going to make social distancing more targeted. At least we will have the ability to do that, thats what they were able to do in south korea and singapore. We will have a big explosion and then it will also make the fatality rate get smaller because we will understand how many people have it and how many people are dying. In terms of the response, i think you will see the response today all about paid sick leave, free testing, next its going to be actual cash in peoples pockets. Bret expands paid sick leave to people caring for a family member, extends Unemployment Insurance, boost food assistance, provide school meals for children since schools have closed and provide additional federal funding for medicaid. If we are ready for phase three and that is just a check to all americans. Andrew yang left the race a month ago and hes saying there is my thousand dollars a month my idea. It may actually come to pass, we dont know the numbers yet. Its kind of amazing when you look around and you see these orders coming from governments to shut down restaurants, to shut down gathering places of ten people or more coming at the state level or local levels its kind of amazing. Those people that work in those environments are going to be the ones that are hardest hit. Thats a real thing. This whole time we have been in this waiting game and its hard to do because much of the stories that we read about our stories about effects of quarantines and theyve taken the steps as precautionary measures as opposed to actual results of actual virus. Its particularly true outside of places like new york and washington and rural parts of the country where we see that great report we just had about people purchasing guns and ammunition. What that is more than anything, its a very healthy american indication that people trust themselves to take care of themselves and their neighbors more than they trust governments whether its the local government or the federal government. I think the important thing at this point, wherever you are on your level of concern about this is its kind of like the saying if you find yourself walking through, dont stop. Wherever you are on the concerned scale, whatever you can do at this point to keep going to march through the bear market, to march through this is a good thing. Bret obviously capitol hill is a few more than ten people, im getting word right now that congressman mario diaz has tested positive for coronavirus, he self quarantined and he isnt going back to south florida with his wife but just passing that along. If we will get a lot more of these positives as the tests continue. Thank you very much. Coming up, we look at the brighter side of things as we do every night about this time, stay with us the corner of my eye. Just a blur when they jumped the median.
