Take a look. Were going to unit this party and unite this country. Folks want to nominate a democrat, a lifelong democrat, a proud democrat. A obama biden democrat. Join us. We cannot win this reelection excuse me. We can only reelect donald trump. If in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad. Together we can win back the house were going to keep the house and flip the senate. We talked about that were going to win back the United States senate. Dana while Bernie Sanders is shying away from attacking biden over his campaign slipups, hes saying this. When give a speech, often its 45 minutes or an hour. Because theres a lot of challenges the country faces and i have to talk about him. I think joe was somewhere where was he . Michigan or someplace else the other day . He spoke for seven minutes. I dont know how you say anything other than minimal discussion in seven minutes. Dana so both of the candidates have cancelled their events for tonight citing coronavirus as a concern. Theyll be in ohio. Thats where the voting will take place next week when theres another super tuesday. Katie, what about this biden and bernie thing about how long their speeches are . I think that he has a point, Bernie Sanders, in the sense that look, were trying to talk about deep issues, trying to determine why were different from each other. Its difficult in seven minutes to lay out your entire platform as a moderate democrat and distinguishing yourself from someone like Bernie Sanders. Now, whether Bernie Sanders is saying anything new, meaning how is he going to pay for things and getting to the details of what his policy proposals are for americans is a different story. Joe biden being taken off the campaign trail in the sense of being limited in time is not a good look when hes trying to make the argument that hes the one that can beat President Trump that can speak for hours on end without stopping. Dana juan, you think its much adieu about nothing and what about think about tonight . Four years ago, Bernie Sanders had a very good night in these states, especially michigan, missouri, Washington State. Tonight biden is in the lead in some places and certainly on Bernie Sanders heels. Juan on the business about the attacks on his competence, i find it offensive. Im stunned. I see that this is President Trumps, you know, line of attack about joe biden of late. I just think dana what about biden i mean Bernie Sanders juan no. Last night bret and martha asked him about it. He said he wouldnt do it. His backers are critical for not taking down his opponents including joe biden. Hes not buying in. I think most democrats not only do they see it as joe biden that they have known forever and ever and charming and authentic and all that, but secondly they see this as base personal politics that, you know dana what about the results nor tonight . Juan think, i think, look, if youre a betting lady, youd say oh, boy, ill put my money all my chips on joe biden except for western states. Looking at idaho and washington, i think idaho that biden is up but within the margin of error. In washington, sanders is up. Everywhere else were looking at michigan, mississippi, missouri, north dakota and then theres one exception. Those are clearly heavily right now all the polls show for joe biden. One exception i was doing to say is theres something for people out of the country, democrats abroad. At the moment, that seems to be on sanders side. They could have voted early. Its not significant in terms of the delegate allotment. Dana one thing that Hillary Clinton did bad four years ago in these states. She constantly talk about her books and shows that hes in peoples consciousness. Joe biden is already doing better. Jesse theyre already hiding biden. Hes in the home stretch in october. He has to do two to three events a day. Debate prep, fund raisers, tv interviews. Hes winded. He saying things like ar14. That hes confusing family members. He doesnt know if hes in iowa or if hes in ohio. This is not good. Now hes negotiating with the sanders team so he gets to sit for the debate. They dont want him standing for two hours oneonone. They want him to sit. So he made donald trump take a cognitive test because he tweeted fake news after midnight a few times and he passed with flying colors. They talked about the 25th amount. Joes brain should be fair game. Thats the bottom line. Bernie sanders, he needs to go for the jugular. Because to act like something is all right there, thats not good enough. He did it with hillary with her emails. We dont care about them. And hes doing it again. Its like a guy, a boxner the late rounds, hes down on all the judges score cards. He needs a knockout and still dancing around jabbing. Benny has to hit him on stamina, he has to hit him on the gaffes, on family corruption. He has to go hard. If he doesnt do Something Big to change the trajectory of the race, its over. Dana im going to have i have a prediction. If biden does well tonight, that he will move to say he doesnt need to debate sunday at 8 regarding sitting or standing. Juan i dont think he has to choice. He has to dont. But i think that joe bidens secret was on tv and had an extensive interview last night. Jesse i didnt see that. Greg lets go to break. Dana it happens to me all the time. Greg new nickname, hidin biden. There you go. That sticks. Last week was super tuesday. This week stuper tuesday. You have a choice with a man that has been wrong on the core issues of our time or a decent guy that is experiencing identifiable cognitive decline. You might find that offensive but it is accurate. One is a socialist that has been wrong and one experiencing cognitive decline. Its there for everybody to see. The solution for this is youre going to support joe biden because he still wears the comfy sweater of american capitalism, not the failed hair shirt of socialism. So what are you counting on . Joe bidens vp choice, which will be Kamala Harris or Amy Klobuchar that will inherit the office in probably a year if biden wins, they will be president. Heres the greatest analogy youll hear today. For a democrat, this election is like buying a house, not for the structure, but for the land. Because if joe wins, youre going to tear down the house, but you still get the lot in which you erect the Kamala Harris or Amy Klobuchar presidency. Dana you heard it here. And cory booker is out there. Enthusiastic. Vp choices are really important this time, katie . Especially if joe biden is the nominee. Interesting to look how democrats demand a far left candidate to be the Vice President so the bernie wing is somehow represented and whether moderate democrats are going to get out and vote for someone like that with that person on the ticket is the question. I think we should pick up on what you brought up and the debate on sunday potentially being cancelled. The biden team has to do a Risk Assessment here. This will be the first time that joe biden is on stage by himself. He doesnt have the other candidates to shield him from having to make lengthy statements dana and how about having a comfortable delegate lead . Why do you think he has to debate . Juan its no question. It would be playing to exactly the offensive thinking that is so prevalent now as a result of the president s behavior. Dana if you want to win greg the behavior began on your side. Juan by the way, people have said things liked this about President Trump. I have never engaged in such chat. I dont think anybody greg and his ability juan job greg you read his mind every day. You knew what he was thinking. Juan tonight you have a situation where, as dana pointed out, sanders won michigan. Its a 70 white electorate. Heavy a third of the electorate is white, noncollege educated. These are sanders voters in other states. If he doesnt do something here, theres just its almost like the rest of the party is going to be quiet. Dana we had Something Else to bring to you, a very nice moment at the white house just moments ago. President trump presenting the medal of freedom to retired fourstar army general jack keane for his service to the country. The nations highest civilian honor. General keane, hes a senior strategic analyst. Wonderful to see that moment for him. Next on the the five, democrats have been quick to attack the president over coronavirus. Will their plans to stop it be any better . Heres gregs take on that next. I saved hundreds on my Car Insurance when i switched to geico. This is how it made me feel. It was like that feeling when you go to highfive a coworker, and you do a perfect highfive. Everyone is really excited for you because it was such a great highfive. And then. The boss comes in. And she wants one too. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. Fifteen minutes could save you sensei beautiful.

If you want to see the deadly impact of the progressive mind, watch bernie from last nights fox news town hall. He said he wouldnt have shut down our borders to protect americans from disease because that would be racist. If you had to, would you chose down the borders . No. What you dont want to do right now, we have a president who has a propagated xenophobic sentiment from before he was elected. You have to have the scientists take a hard look at what we need to do. Theres communities where the virus is spreading. What does that mean . May mean selfquarantining, not having public assemblies. Lets not go back to the same old thing. Isnt it interesting that a president who has been demagoguing and demonizing dim grants the first thing he can think about is closing down the border. Greg imagine how clueless you have to be to say that as other countries endure chaos due to virus spread from one travel hub to the next. Here you have a leading democrat saying spread would be racist against chinese and italians somehow. Italians locked themselves down, you idiot. Bernie has his head up his ass while hes hair burns. Safety first, bernie. For a leftist, bernie is behind the times. Those that call trump racist for banning travel have changed their tune to a new smear. He didnt do it fast enough. Black, white, gay, straight, male, female, undermining cooperation in community which prevents action to reduce death. How can you expect to fight any threat, a virus or world war, if you leader wants you to fight each other . Funny how bernie thought it was nobody toll make a vaccine free once it was available. Why not make it available now . As if things magically appear before the socialist takes control of distribution. Take it from me, when a scientist makes a drug that helps the world, a socialist will call him a bigot for taking so long and then smoke it. Leave it to bernie, katie, we would be screwed. The Border Action bought time for us to spread out whatever the emergency the urgent hospital prep and actually make some mistakes. Katie how were being lectured about common sense. Shutting down borders during something that is a pandemic is a common sense thing to do. The president did it soon as soon as we knew what china was telling news january. He was criticized for doing so. You cannot as a democrat or anybody be an advocate for open borders allowing thousands come in unvetted and be taken seriously as a candidate for president who should be in charge who can do a better job than President Trump and his administration has been doing so far. Bernie sanders talks about scientists. Every day the Vice President has been standing up in front of the country and the world with a number of scientists and doctors that have been talking about this disease. Now the media is gas lighting everybody because we call it a chinese virus or the wuhan virus. Theyre saying that is racist, which in return allows china to get away with not having any accountability for the way this thing happened. Cant talk about how this is chinas fault because it would be racist which gives the communist party a pass for not giving us the dna code of the virus soon enough to work on a vaccine and see how fast it will spread, et cetera. So in idea that we cant talk about the facts because theyre racist now apparently came from china, its a chinese virus. We need to deal with it. Also saying that not shutting down borders but also i should be in charge of preventing the spread of this is ridiculous and shouldnt be taken seriously. Greg at least the governor of california, Gavin Newsome admitted that what is being done by trump is good. I think we have this tape. We had a private conversation but he said were going to do the right thing and you have my support, all of our support. Logistically and otherwise. He said everything that i could have hoped for. We had a very long conversation. Everything that he said they followed through on. Every single thing. His administration. It starts at the top. Including the Vice President has been consistent with the expectation that we repatriate these passengers. Greg its refreshing, dana, to see some kind of unity from people from different political groups. Dana also because we have a federalist system which means the state and local governments, theyre on the front lines. They have to coordinate with the federal government. If youre Gavin Newsome, you want to fight with President Trump or get what you need to help your people. I think that when things get this serious and youre doing Public Health crisis, you can set politics aside if you want to. Also governor ensley of Washington State has backed off of his criticism because they realize were in this together. The Public Health workers have said that the travel ban from china was actually very helpful. Gave them the time they needed to prepare. So actually i think President Trump could have gone further. He could have said nobody from south korea, nobody from iran. Initially. They were prudent and they waited. It could turn out that it was too late or Something Like somebody might make that argument, this is a fastmoving situation. You have the burden of leadership which means youre going to get criticized, but the facts will tell the full story. Greg yeah, jesse, bernie does have the luxury of his decisions not mattering. Jesse you cant trust Bernie Sanders. Its like an arsonist as your fire chief. You dont want someone that starts fires. You want someone that puts them out. Youre talking about an International Health scare and he wants to take away everybodys healthcare . He wants to lock up pharmaceutical representatives for not finding a vaccine. If you want to open borders, its crazy. Its all rationale. Italy did it. Theyre trying to get a grip on it. When trump smut down the borders and flights from china, the democrats were impeaching him and calling him racist. Theyve been Briefing Congress about this since december. Theyve been pushing forth with new vaccines, quarantines, everything on tv every day. What do the democrats want to do differently . I dont know. I heard joe answer that on msnbc last night. Twominute answer, no clue what his plan was. I had to watch it twice. Still dont know. Greg juan jesse still dont know. Greg juan, i remember you questioning whether the travel ban was worth while. Juan i do. I still think its not shutting down our borders. You say that. Theres a different between containment, which is someplace like italy and someone saying im going to keep everybody out because im worried theyll bring it here. The fact is the disease is already here. Our issue is no longer about somehow containment as the Surgeon General said, its about mitigating the impact of the fact and trying to slow the spread. We have a situation here in new york. Theyre containing an or in new rochelle. Its trying to contain the spread. Thats very different. So you have a situation where, you know, we had ebola come in and obama was asked to shut down yeah, shut down the borders. The medical experts said no. That would be ineffective and make it more likely that ebola would spread. Greg yesterday you talk about he didnt shut it down fast enough. Juan the fact is that President Trump knew about this but was engaged its not a big deal. We still hear it. Katie juan, its so unfair for you to say that. Its not true. Greg that was after he shut it down. Juan he sacrificed all of his credibility on this issue because hes engaged in happy thoughts. Were going to have a vaccine in a few weeks. Juan you want everybody to freak out and panic . Juan you want somebody to calm you down. You dont want lying and misinformation, hes just not good at sort of calming us. Hes exciting us. Greg nothing he can do. Jesse the democrats plan . Juan to rely on the scientists. Jesse so trump is not relying on the scientists. Juan oh, not a problem. Go to work. Greg shut down the border, which was juan he shut down the chinese border. Greg all right. All right. Joe biden curses out a voter after being confronted about his second amount plan. Dont miss it next. As a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. At liberty butchemel. Cut. Liberty mu. Line . Cut. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Cut. Liberty m. Am i allowed to riff . What if i come out of the water . Liberty biberty. Cut. Well dub it. Liberty mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. So you dont have to stash antacids here. Here. Or, here. Kick your antacid habit with prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. Our Retirement Plan with voya gives us confidence. Yeah, they help us with achievable steps along the way. So we can spend a bit now, knowing were prepared for the future. Surprise we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. Oooh, well. Im good at my condo. Oh. I love her condo. Nana throws the best parties. Well planned, well invested, well protected. Voya. Be confident to and through retirement. Jesse super tuesday polls close in a couple hours from now. Joe bidens embarrasses himself again. Here he is swearing at a blue collar factory worker in michigan after being called out over his gun control plans. [inaudible] jesse wow, greg. I guess his staff was trying to control him. He shhed thing. Greg shhing a female staffer is sexist, i tell you. I dont know. This is going to be a fun time. He gets mad. He gets cranky. Bidens message is not the partys message. Hes message is vote for me and i will replace trump. The Party Message is vote for biden and kamala or amy will replace him. Trust me. Jesse he also lied about not going after peoples guns. Here he is admitting it. Watch. I want to make something clear. Im going to guarantee you, this is not the last your seeing this guy. Youre going to lead the effort. Im counting on you. So to gun owners out there that so a Biden Administration says im going to come for your guns bingo. The assault weapons should be illegal, period. Jesse so he either lied or he didnt remember what he said two months ago. Katie i dont think joe biden knows an assault weapon. You can look at the people that have endorsed him, beto who he said would be in charge of his gun policy has called for the confiscation of constitutionally protected ownership of firearms. Jesse doortodoor. Katie by force from the government coming to you and demanding if you dont turn it in, youll go to prison. Michael bloomberg has endorsed joe biden who has spent hundreds of millions to curtail Second Amendment rights. Its interesting to watch joe biden in this setting. These are the kinds of voters that democrats have to win back to win places like michigan and wisconsin and pennsylvania. Theyre going to have a very hard time reconciling this woke attitude of gun confiscation to a group of guys like that. Theres 50 people there and probably feel the same and trying to win back Blue Collar Workers. Its like putting a square peg in a round hole. This is not going to work. You cant be for gun confiscation in a crowd like that from the midwest and think youre doing to win their vote back especially when President Trump has provided economic policies they like. Jesse juan, what if trump went up to a voter and told him he was full of [bleep] and lets take it outside. Juan i think you would applaud . Jesse really . Juan yes, sir, thats donald trump being direct and real. Jesse what do you think about joe doing that . Juan i thought hes a straight shooter. By the way, i dont think jesse just not with an ar15. Juan what youre saying is so wrong. Joe biden in the interviews you just said said what he wants to do is not come and confiscate or take away anyones guns. Governor whitmire said Jesse Anderson cooper juan he said guns that let me finish. I think when you think about what katie was talking about, some strong nra backer, they werent going to vote for a democrat anyway. His stand, bidens stand, is forceful, helps him with democrats that say you deliver a strong message, joe, you come through strong. I didnt see any dillydallying or mental incapacity. Jesse ar14 . Did he say that right . Juan i now understand that joe biden is the democratic nominee jesse he might not make to it be the nominee. Dana . Dana the gun thing, Bernie Sanders was a supporter of gun rights and that set him apart in the senate. I dont know when it changed. As the party moved left, he moved with them. Now its pretty much party orthodoxy. The position that joe biden is saying he has now is the one that he thinks can get him to the finish line for the democratic nomination. How does that play in a general election . For suburban women, maybe its better. For those Blue Collar Workers that were obama trump voters, i dont know that necessarily helps get them back. Jesse make he should have cognitived him a dogfaced trump soldier. Greg i cant recall a single instance of trump aggressively going after an individual. Every single one of joes tips, when hes talking to somebody, its going after a person. Trump goes after groups. Fake news, the media. That kind of stuff. Jesse he snaps quickly. All right. Were waiting another Coronavirus Task force briefing. Stay with the five for the latest on the outbreak. I have a back rash. Alright. Whoa, mara. I laugh like this. [ laughs obnoxiously ] its just not my scene. I couldnt help but over do you like insurance . I love insurance. Did you know you can save money bundling home and auto with progressive, and renters can bundle, too . I know, right . [ laughs ] [ singing continues ] whyd you stop . I was listening. [ microphone feedback ] than Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis. When considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis or active Psoriatic Arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. It can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; dont start xeljanz if you have an infection. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. As have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. Tell your doctor if youve been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if youve had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Dont let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr. Yeah, ive had some pretty prestigious jobs over the years. News producer. Executive transport manager. And a beverage distribution supervisor. Now im a director at a Security Software firm. Wow, youve been at it a long time. The thing is, i like working. What if my Retirement Plan is i dont want to retire . Then lets not create a Retirement Plan. Lets create a plan for whats next. I like that. Get a plan thats right for you. Td ameritrade. Juan any nomo moment were going to get an update on the coronavirus. Heres president earlier today. Were prepared, doing a great job with it. It will go away. Stay calm. Were so strong with tax cuts, regulations and all of those things. The consumer has never been in a better position than right now. A lot of good things will happen. Juan the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread throughout the United States. Theres more than 730 confirmed cases. The number of deaths now at 27. Officials in new york state announced theyre setting up a containment zone in a community outside of new york. All schools and major gathering placing in a onemile radius will be shut down for two weeks. So the question begins with, you know, do you agree with containment zones, jesse . Jesse if the officials believe a containment zone is effective, i support that. I think were still learning a lot about the virus. For instance, matt gaetz was at cpac the other day, shook hands and took a selfie with a guy that was infected with coronavirus. He just got tested and he tested negative. Thats a pretty good indication about how contagious it is, who is at risk. Doesnt mean we know everything but were learning more. In terms of what congress can do, they can only do so much. In the consumer doesnt go to dinner around the consumer stays in the house and the worker doesnt have to go to work, theyre told to work from home, continue cant make people go outside and spend money. So theyre limited in what they can do. They can do the payroll tax, do the loans, wave the copays. Its not the silver bullet. Looking back at what the left says. What are they saying . What is the threat . Global warming. How does that look right now . Global warming is the number 1 threat the human civilization. It just seems silly at a moment like this when you have a pandemic, terrorism and the o r overreliance on the chinese that are threatening this country. Juan dana, the president was talking to the republican conference at lunch. Theyre trying to come up with a economic plan. Thinking stimulus a lot of industries that need help in the aftermath of this. He doesnt have any specific plan. He had except for what jesse talked about, the payroll tax. Its a tax that would until november when hes up for reelection. Dana theyre trying to say how do you get ahead of it. You know it will have an economic impact. The payroll tax could allow you to have more of a broadbase support for people rather than picking winners and losers. If they say were going to help the oil industry but not cruise ship industry, theyre showing that theres a willing. In washington d. C. , its not hard to pass a stimulus bill. Everybody is always open for business to spend more money. In this case they might need to. If you forget china. People are travelling to south korea. Their anybodys go up. They had cancelling big events, closing schools. All of that has led to them look at the charts now, their numbers have gone way down. Things that we can do early and aggressive action is important. Juan greg, when i listened to the president there, i thought there he goes again. This is a president that in a time of crisis should project calm and trust. Fox news alert. Vice president pence and the Coronavirus Task force now holding a briefing at the white house. Lets listen in. Good afternoon. We just completed todays meeting of the Coronavirus Task force at the white house. I couldnt be more proud of the efforts of the men and women standing behind me, all of those behind them. President trump said from early on this would be a whole of government approach and today gives evidence to the fact that its a whole of america approach. Were bringing the full resources of the federal government and the full resources of this great economy and our great business sector to bear in protecting the American People and protecting american families. A few updates from today. As we expand testing a vail ability across the country, its available at all state labs. By the end of the week, more than four million more tests made available in jurisdictions around the country. One million are already in place thanks to the good work of our top commercial labs that President Trump brought together yesterday. Labcorps and quest are in the process now of distributing and marketing coronavirus tests all across america. Were working with state and local officials to ensure that that happens as rapidly as possible. As the testing is expanding, we want to make sure the American People knew that testing was available to them and that cost would not be a barrier. Today President Trump assembled the Top Health Insurance executives in america. As we announced earlier today, all of our major Health Insurance companies have now joined with medicare and medicaid and agreed to waive all copays, cover the cost of all treatment for those that contract the coronavirus. They have committed to no surprise billing and they have committed to encourage telemedicine. It was a year ago that medicaid expanded to pay for telemedicine, medicare pays for telemedicine. So now for seniors that may think that theyre either at risk or have contracted the disease, they can get medical advice without having to go to the doctor or go to an emergency room. I know i speak for President Trump when i say how grateful we are to see our Health Insurance industry step forward to meet this need so that no american should be concerned about being able to pay for or forward the cost of a coronavirus test if they deem and their doctor deems it to be appropriate and necessary. The president went to capitol hill today to meet with members of the United StatesSenate Republican caucus. There he talked about an economic package including hes calling for payroll tax relief. I think most important, we want to make sure hourly workers, hardworking blue collar americans that dont have paid family leave today that small and medium size buses in america would be afforded the resources to provide paid leave so that no one would feel that they have to go to work if they might be infected or exposed to the coronavirus. We had a good reception on capitol hill. Our legislative teams have fanned out. Were working with republican and democratic leadership to move a package. Larry kudlow will reflect on that in just a moment. We also talked about what are known as m95 markets. Senator deb fisher and others have important legislation that would extend temporary Liability Protection so that masks that are made for industrial use could be sold to hospitals to ensure that our healthcare workers are properly protected and outfitted. Were grateful for growing bipartisan support for that measure and were going to be working ernestly with democrats and republicans for reform that would make more m95 masks available. Im pleased to record that we received a comprehensive proposal from the cruise line street, improved screening, providing for airlift evacuation and landbased care at the expense of the cruise lines for anyone that might not only be infected the coronavirus but with any serious illness. Well be reviewing that in the next 24 hours. The president s objective is for us to make cruise lines safer even as we work with the cruise lines to ensure that no one in our particular vulnerable population is going out on a cruise in the near future. Im going to recognize dr. Fauci to talk about where we are. Dr. Burkes will give us some research that shes done on the scope. Well have other updates. Let me say again, this is a whole of government approach. From early on, President Trump has insisted that our government at the federal level, all of our partners at the state level work in concert to protect the American People. As we stand here today, the risks to the average american of contracting the coronavirus remains low. Were absolutely determined to give every american the tools and the information that they need to protect themselves, their families, their workplace, their schools and were going to work together. Were going to see our way through this and working with leaders in both parties in congress, working with leaders at the state level across the nation we will. With that, dr. Tony fauci for an update on the status. Thanks very much, mr. Vice president. Just to give you a very brief sketch of what we do every day. The cases continue to increase globally. Were playing particular attention to the cases in europe and italy and france and which were starting to see that up at the same time as the relative number of new cases come down from china. What were seeing in europe, europe is in that upslope. That is something that is expected. Thats the way these outbreaks go. This is not a surprise to anybody. If you look at the history of Infectious Disease outbreaks. In the United States we still have new cases. This morning, 712 i believe with 27 deaths guaranteed by the time of this evening. That will be up. There will be several more. Tomorrow there will be several more. So we realize this is something obviously that weve been saying all along that were taking very seriously. Now the question is what are we going to do about that. Theres a number of things that one can do in order to blunt it. If you look at the curves of outbreaks, they go big peaks and come down. What we need to do is flatten that down. That would have less people infected, that would ultimately have less deaths. You do that with trying to interfere with the natural flow of the outbreak. What were seeing today, although we keep saying appropriately as a nation the risk is relatively low, theres parts of the country right now having Community Spread in which the risk there is a bit more than that. You know the places. Washington state, california, new york and florida. What i want to talk to you about today, just for a moment or two is that we would like the country to realize that as a nation, we cant be doing the kinds of things we were doing a few months ago. That it doesnt matter if youre in a state that has no cases or one case. Take seriously what you can do now that if and when the infections will come and they will come, sorry to say, sad to say, they will, but when youre dealing with an Infectious Disease, you always have that metaphor that people talk about. Wayne gretzky. Its going where the puck is going to be. We want to be where the infection is going to be as well as where it is. What we have here, you can see its here. If you go to coronavirus. Gov, when dr. Burkes yesterday mentioned some things that we put together. These are really simple. Keeping the workplace safe, keeping the home safe and keeping the schools safe and commercial establishments safe, this should be universal for the country. Everyone should be doing that. Whether you live in a zone that has Community Spread or not. When you have Community Spread, you ratchet up the mitigations. At a minimum, the minimum that we should be doing. So everybody would say all hands on deck, this is what we need to do. Ill stop there and answer questions later. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Vice president. Thank you, dr. Fauci, for that charity. We continue to monitor the situation across the county and the globe and were fortunate tweep dr. Fauci and i, we have a lot of contacts. We continue to review all the scientific literature to look for insights and to determine who is at the greatest risk. That is why we talked to you about people with immune deficiencies, people at any age and the elderly. How important it is to take these precautions in the household to protect others. We have circulating flu and other respiratory diseases at this time. We all have to act like all of those diseases, any respiratory disease, can be transmitted to others. As we said yesterday, were hoping that decreases all the respiratory disease were experiencing. Finally, we got new reports out of china on nine pregnant women during an acute Covid Infection and all nine were infected. And they delivered while they were infected and all nine babies were healthy and the mothers were healthy. We continue to look for data like that to be reassuring to the american public. At the same time, ensuring every Single Person is participating in this response to this virus and taking those precautions that we should be taking every day. If we start doing this today, we will be ready next year for any of our respiratory diseases because i think well be able to show that these simple household, simple works, simply school, simple business approach across the country can change all of our respiratory diseases. Thanks for getting the message out and thanks for the participating and ensuring in your house holds and households around america that were protecting all of those that need our support right now. Thanks, dr. Birx and dr. Fauci. And this information is available at coronavirus. Gov. We cant say often enough, the risk of contracting the coronavirus is low.

They asked the president for more flexibility in medicare plans. The president agreed to do that. Now not only can they waive the cost for the tests but remove prior authorization requirements, waive prescription refill limits, allow for mail delivery of prescription drugs and expand Telemedicine Services if they werent offering that. Also, at cns, we continue to work with Healthcare Providers around Infection Control practices. We met with Home Health Agencies and hospitals and today issued guidance to dialysis facilities and home Infection Control.
