Highs reach last month. Well in excess of a trillion dollars, now, man, these are surreal times. Welcome, everybody, im neil cavuto and this is your world. The president meeting on covid19 and the response the nation has implement it. We will play it back for you. In the meantime, all of this as the country continues to shut down businesses and people seem to disappear from city shade in new york, chicago, San Francisco and even the Las Vegas Strip sht down for the First Time Since after john f. Kennedy was assassinated in november 1963. We are grinding lower about how much lower and where do we go from here . Lets get though read from Jackie Deangelis who is following all of this very closely. The fourth trading halt implemented in less than two weeks, the s p felt more than 7 during todays trading session. Part of the volatility coming from the uncertainty surrounding the virus but the other part of the kneejerk, massive move comes from not just buying and selling of the market but short selling and covering which exacerbates those points. Thats one reason some arm warning the markets can shut down, implement ding rules, the treasury secretary said thats not going to happen. The economy itself, casinos, bars, restaurants, clothing, las vegas in addition to the malls and retailers who said yesterday they are going dark, then target and best buy reducing store hours as well, that will help those stores restock and clean. All coming as government officials are trying to put plans in place to contain the virus and stem the damages to business at the same time. More borders closed across europe and north america, the u. S. And canada agreeing to close their border except for a central travel. The administration pressuring congress to pass a 1 trillion package that would allow for paid sick leave, payroll tax cuts, expanded loans, Unemployment Insurance as well as a cash check thats been discussed and at detroits big three automakers instituted factor viii shutdowns, the president looking to invoke laws that would allow private companies to help deal with this pandemic as well. Neil the stocks keep going down, those potential covid19 bailouts keep piling up, chief roberts from the white house with the way the latest they are cooking up. One of the big headlines coming out of the white house today, the president after being urged by democrats and many other people as well, today decided to invoke whats called the defense production act, an act thats normally put in place to build tanks and ships and submarines and guns, things like that, instead its going to be used as Chuck Schumer there on the senate floor and poured the president to do earlier today, produce things like personal protective equipment, those respirator masks as well as desperately needed ventilators. The president saying, for now, hes only going to sign in order to activate the act but they will be used. Listen to what he said. A thing like this has never been requested and its never weve never had to even think in terms of these numbers but we need millions of masks and all them will be ordered, we need respirators, we need ventilators because its a complex piece of equipment. We have a lot of ventilators but we are going to be ordering mo more. The Financial Statement soaring north of 1. 3 million. If it takes more than that we will do more than that. What about those checks that are going to go out to individual taxpayers . We are told by the Treasury Department that they will come out into tranches, 250 billion apiece, 500 billion. The first will be on april the sixth, the second will be on may the 18th. We still do not know the size of the individual checks. I asked the president earlier today coming is what he told me. What size will the checks be that will be sent out . Hasnt been determined yet but it will shortly be determined. People want to go big, everybody seems to want to go big and get to the recovery. You know, we were talking to larry kudlow in the driveway asking him these plans that are put in place, whats the window of businesses being closed that their planning for . He seems to indicate it was six weeks to a couple of months, summer through the end of the year in certain circumstances but he said if we need to do more we well. He went so far as to say with Small Businesses, we may have to cover their revenues. And he suggested because Interest Rates are so low, borrowing is cheap, its almost a Bottomless Pit so maybe we will find out where the bottom of that pit really is. Neil im curious, the president dismissed at his briefing today that this could drag on for a year and a half, what do you know about that . These are productions for pandemics and if you look at the projections for a flu pandemic the windows tivoli 1218 months but the way things are being ramped up now with the social distancing, they are hoping to shrink that window down to a matter of months. You know, a few months as opposed to 1218 months but dont forget we wont really beat this thing until we get a vaccine and thats probably still 18 months away now. Neil thank you very much, i want to bring senator Lindsey Graham into all of this. Senator, what is your sense youre getting from the white house and from any of your colleagues about how this is sorting out or not sorting out . Go big, the bottom line is, ive been on the hill all day, i havent seen this kind of spirit since 9 11, everybodys looking at each other as an ally, not a foe. People in america, you begin to see the best of the country, the young lady on the show before, delivering food to elderly people, allowing seniors to shop ahead of everybody else in Grocery Stores. Its going to take that kind of spirit to defeat this but heres the problem, 80 of the workforce is going to be impacted by the containment policy. The money were spending to deal with health care is going to pale into comparison with the money we spend to stabilize the economy. If youve been laid off today in South Carolina from a bar or restaurant or hotel, im looking to make sure that we have wage replacement, that we replace your income is much as possible so that you dont have your life turned upside down, thats the number one goal of phase three for me. Neil senator, obviously money in peoples hands is a good thing especially for the people who need it but is it your sense that the problem here is the virus itself and that people are hunkered down in their homes afraid to go out because of that they might use that but it wont have the desired effect on the economy, is that even part of the rationale here . Its my rationale, i want to stimulate the economy but its impossible to stimulate it when its locked down. If i gave you your paycheck, that will be enough to get you through until we can find a way to fully deal with the virus. Your paycheck plus 1,000 doesnt do you any good. I want you to gave your paycheck is much as possible. Neil if this drags on a while, people are going to be frozen in place regardless of what stimulus is coming their way. You cant stimulate it. We are buying containment, everything ive just talked to you about is the price of containment, shutting every bar and restaurant down in South Carolina is the cost of containment. We either pay now as a country or we pay later and what we do until we turned the corner and what would turning the corner look like . A week where you have less infections than the week prior, therapies are in place and reduce the mortality rate. Neil i apologize for stepping on you, the president is speaking right now. Go ahead. Dr. Robert redfield, thank you very much for being here. We are using the full power of government in response to the chinese virus, i declare a state of National Emergency that will make up to 50 billion in Disaster Relief once available, which we can use to assist hospitals which as you know we need. I asked states to set up a mergeemergency operations cente, theyve been notified, we are urging hospitals to cancel all elective medical procedures, my Emergency Declaration allowed us to get nurses and doctors maximum flexibility to respond to the virus and protect our frontline professionals, we authorize nationwide which is really becoming big stuff, makes it a lot easier for patients and really has been working out amazingly well. We empowered states to authorize test in their state and we are working with the private sector to rapidly expand testing capacity. We literally rebuilt that whole system, it was an obsolete system thats been rebuilt and a lot of good things are happening, 500 Million Masks to drive private production, american manufacturers are repurchasing factories, one major manufacturer already done with capacity and weve asked Construction Companies to donate unused masks and they actually have quite a few of them, the Construction Companies, who would think that . Theyre going to be donating unused masks and the Defense Department is making millions of masks available for health care workers. And we are asking every american to make major changes to reduce social interactions over the next two weeks as we all know. We look to make shared sacrifices and thats what were doing as a country and its been amazing to see the way the country is come together. This tremendous spirit and even republicans and democrats getting together for the most part, getting together so thats a good thing to see. Maybe go around the room and just say your name and who youre representing, its great to have you. Im the chief nursing officer for the american nursing association. And the ceo of the American Academy of nurses. Im the president and ceo for the American Association of colleges. Theresa davison, Clinical Operations director, representing the American Association of critical care. Im the 2021 National President for the emergency nurses association. Ceo of the American Organization for nursing leaders in the American Hospital association. Do you have anything to say . I want to join you in welcoming these great healers to the white house. The president spoke today to the leaders of physician organizations from around the country, we garnered from them recommendations about how we can further support those of you impacted by the coronavirus. As a president said, we are absolutely committed to bringing the full resource of the federal government, following resources of the american economy, work with states across the country to be there for americans are struggling with the coronavirus, at the same level of priority, the president has made it clear that we are to make sure that the men and women who are serving those patients and event nurses and nurse practitioners, emergency room nurses, the forefront of the president s mind, weve enabled extension availability and congress has worked in a bipartisan way to make those more available. Gowns and gloves and all the personal protective equipment that all of you rely on every day. I hope you will carry back the gratitude of your president , the entire team of the White House Coronavirus task force. The hands and feet of american compassion. Fema is fully engaged, we are working with them very closely. They are engaged all over the country, far greater problems than others, some areas dont have very much of a problem at all but fema is very much engaged, fully engaged as of about two hours ago and tomorrow having a what i think will be a very interesting News Conference and i think you know what thats all about so we will see. The fda will be working very hard and i appreciate what theyre doing and we have some very interesting things, it will be set up and i look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Neil they do save time talking over one another so there is that, Lindsey Graham was kind enough to stick with us as we were listening to the president , the coronavirus response, measures include sick leave for workers as well as free testing. You had yourself tested for the coronavirus, the official at maralago who had it, i guess it came back negative so its a little good there. Let me just tell you a couple things, what the president talked about his efforts to ramp up the ability to contain the virus. God bless the doctors and nurses on the front line but what im looking at trying to accomplish here this week is to create a revenue stream, income stream for everybody whos lost their job, not a onetime payment but income you can count on. You know what the maximum benefit for Unemployment Insurance is in South Carolina per week . Neil i dont. 326, thats not enough. Theres bipartisan support to have the federal government put more money into the Unemployment Insurance system, what im talking about is three quarters of your salary, up to 80,000 was the general idea. There seems to be a lot of republican and democratic support for that. Marco rubio and Susan Collins have a great idea. If youre a bar owner or Business Owner and you had to shut down, go to the Small Business administration and get a loan to pay your employees up to 80,000 per employee and we will forgive that loan for the first six weeks, to keep the paychecks coming. Between those ideas we are trying to stabilize peoples income. Neil whats interesting in the middle of all of this, Goldman Sachs and the very corner we are in, even secretary mnuchin even though the president corrected him said if this measures or not to pass, unemployment could jump up to 20 , whatd you think think of that . I think the Unemployment Rate in this country is far more than 20 , i think we walked the whole economy down. Nobody has lost their job because of bad economic policy, people are out of work to contain the virus. Neil are you worried that whatever the reasons, its going to grind this economy to a halt and may be right through the election . Heres what i think, i think the containment policies are aggressive and will pay dividends. When therapies save lives and a vaccine is on the horizon, when those things happen the economy will begin to work again. It is completely shut down as part of containment, the number one issue for me is i want you to have an income stream until we can contain the virus, not a onetime payment from the government. That income stream can come from your employer through loans to them or through increased unemployment benefit checks. Neil when you look at this and whats happening right now, the feeling seems to be cities are emptying out, in countries like italy the whole country i have some italian relative singing from their windows, theyre putting up with at the best they can but do you think that could happen here . Should it happen here . When you apply that rule to the economy, how many people will stay in this part of the economy is still functioning but all the Major Car Companies stopped work today, if you want to contain the virus you have to keep people away from each oth other. Youre doing the country a great disservice, putting your parents and grandparents at risk. We need the spirit of world war ii where everyone was in it to win it. The organs of coronavirus, all of us are key players, all of us are soldiers in the fight. My job is to work with the president i in and to contain te virus through medical breakthroughs as quickly as possible but also to stabilize an economy in free fall right now, 80 of the American Workforce is going to have a hard time getting a paycheck due to our containment policies, we need to come up with programs to replace their income so they can get through this without losing their entire lifestyle. Neil thank you and for your patience, i appreciated. Lindsey graham. By the way, youre looking at washington, now take a look at San Francisco, almost like a ghost town. They are in quasilockdown, urged to stay indoors and new york considering the same but theres a little bit of a battle back and forth on it. A former police chief is next. Ty and talk about how Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Uhhh. Yes. Huh. What happens in this one . Seagulls. Oh, i like it. How are you doing . seagulls sounds only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Billions of problems. Dry mouth . Parched mouth . Cotton mouth . Theres a therabreath for you.

Sure. Ive got plenty of time. Life line screening. The power of prevention. Call now to learn more. Neil new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says that sheltering in place and getting locked up in your home and thats just not going to happen, it might be an option but its not an option hes considering and he would ultimately pull the trigger on that. Alex hogan with more on that. In a very much abandoned, quiet, almost ghost town new york city. Its a very quiet new york city times square indeed. Could get even more quiet with these announcements coming from the governor. He made some new announcements today, saying every business must keep at least 50 of their workers at home. That doesnt exclude people in the medical field, Emergency Responders and of course people stocking food and Health Care Products to pharmacies. Going to be an impact on the economy. Not just here in new york but across the country, we are going to have to deal with that crisis. Lets deal with one crisis at a time and lets deal with a crisis at hand and the crisis at hand is a Public Health crisis. Pennsylvania joining the coalition of new york, new jersey, and connecticut taking on the containment in their state, closing their indoor golf, amusement parks, and bowling alleys and in boston and throughout the state massachusetts, they are announcing that on monday, all child care facilities will close with there will be some that remain open for the children of doctors on the front lines fighting this virus and we are also learning from the governor of connecticut that they are now reporting the same first steps. Neil incredible, we did not digitally adjust whats behind alex in new yorks times square, the busiest crossroads in the world if you think about it, no one there, nothing going on. Shelter in place, whatever they want to call it, is it really an order . Lets ask the former new York City Police commissioner, joins us now in battery park in downtown manhattan. Good to see you. What do you think about that . You think its necessary . I think having the worlds most important city shelter in place would be a profound decision that right now i side with governor cuomo. I hope hes getting the right advice, i know the mayor sort of hinted that this is going to happen, but this could set back the city economically for a long time it comes with a very important decision, right now i dont know if the evidence warrants it. Neil maybe you can help me with the power structure there, obviously the governor, the bigger a state official than the new york mayor, does he have final say on this . Yes, as in most states, the city are the creatures of the state, new york is a creature of albany, so to speak. The governors decisionmaking processes a lot more significant than the mayor, quite frankly. Neil obviously the impetus of this, seems to be working elsewhere, its still too early to tell in italy where as you know, the entire country is in this lockdown, very similar to a lockdown and in china i believe 60 million residents are still in a lockdown themselves right across the country and the chinese at least in their case, that has slowed the progression and reporting of new cases. What did you make of that . We simply dont know, we dont know enough of the skies size and scope of the problem here, were doing every thing we reasonably can do but we dont know so much so its difficult to say. As i said before, shutting down the worlds most important city which, de facto, thats what sheltering in place means, could have economic ramifications for all long time to come, i know the president has talked about an economic stimulus but you cant just shut down business totally in new york city and expect a stimulus to work. Neil a lot of cities that have ordinances like that, just urging you voluntarily to stay indoors or not to travel, have been reporting progress again cases here. It comes at a time when police then have to decide, how do we split our job now . Policing that, some of them are not going after nonviolent offenders, focusing on the violent ones, what happens . Police have to monitor this closely, we had roughly analogous situations with hurricane sandy, 9 11, where offices from less essential jobs will be put on patrol in unifo uniform, obviously we have to determine the percentages of Police Officers who themselves contract the coronavirus, its fluid situation, it has to be monitored on a daily basis, weve had in this city and other cities, experience in this and i think the department, the Police Department of new york city is prepared to handle a situation where significant numbers of Police Officers are affected by coronavirus. To be one commissioner, always a pleasure, thank you very much, best to your family. In the meantime, remember handling katrina and he was telling me, when it comes to this virus, you do the same thing, they are. The president leading democrats im not saying everything is hunkydory but some would seem to suggest they act that way, they are. Next. Neil had it with the selfish jerks who hoard every product, for any people who really need to get their hands on milk, you name it. We will need somebody from new jersey who decided to do something about it. Hes next, thank god. Neil all right, youve probably seen hoarding and stores were people pile on everything to get all the milk they can and toilet paper they can, Everything Else they can and older people who really need this stuff are left wondering what to do. Well, there is a mayor in new jersey who said that seems stupid, there ought to be a law. Now essentially there is. Steve and philip right now, an executive order makes time for older folks to get all that stuff. Thats brilliant and my hat is off to you. Whats the response youre getting . Its good, they were there this morning, lined up and it was orderly and they had an opportunity to shop in a little more comfortable environment. Although Grocery Stores were cooperative which is good as well. Neil can you explain how it works . The first hour of shopping is set aside for people, elderly and handicapped and immune compromised. So we do have a Police Officer up there but we are kind of working on the honor system here. We are in a tough time in everybodys trying to pull together so im sure there are some people taking advantage of it but clearly designating a time for seniors makes them more comfortable to come in to shop and get what they need. Neil i think of someone there were quite a few peop people, is able to ask them. Neil what type of day is it . It varies, in some situations its 7 008 00, 8 009 00, depends on they open. Generally the first hour when the shelter totally restocks is dedicated to senior so it works out well on multiple fronts. Neil republicans are praising this move, democrats as well. Akin to a feeling of camaraderie and support and respect we had after 9 11, how do you find this in your community . Everybody is pulling together in this situation and its not about party or politics, we are trying to figure out ways to solve the problem that we can on the hyper local level so if somebody has good idea, we invest in it. Neil you dont have any rules about where people are forced to shelter, in hoboken nearby they are looking at Something Like that. What do you think of measures like that . We were actually the first in the country a week ago to implement restrictions on bars and nightclubs but people ask about the shelter and play situation i say is going to have a Significant Impact on the local economy and we are really hesitant to do that unless its a national or statewide or regional requirement. You are going to be really hurting people who are Service Workers are rely on a paycheck and if its not done on a regional basis is going to have limited impact so were reluctant to do it. Neil its a beautiful thing you are doing, just being a human being, thats not bad, thank you very much. These people who hoard stuff, you are preventing people who really need it from getting it, when you look at pictures, theres a special corner for you there when you do that. Or psor, little things, can become your big moment. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not an injection or a cream. Its a pill that treats differently. For psoriasis, 75 clearer skin is achievable.

With safelites exclusive resin, you get a strong repair that you can trust. Plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. Customer really . singers safelite repair, safelite replace. From anyone else. So why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase relieves your worst symptoms which most pills dont. Get allinone allergy relief for 24 hours, with flonase. Neil all right. Ive been showing you cities around the country that are essentially ghost towns but vegas were essentially the whole town is shut down, casinos are close, you know the last time that happened . Right after john f. Kennedy was assassinated, thats how long it has been. So sin city has stopped and its not the only city like that. Beyond stocks and all of that, when people dont leave their homes and dont get out and dont do much of anything because they cant, what do we do . Gary, what do you think . Industries have no revenue coming in and something has to be done. In this case, not by their faults, i am hearing about tranches, and this deal and that deal and whos going to do this, they might have to do this a dozen times going forward. Ive studied every crack in the market going back to 1900, some of these areas of the market, unprecedented. Keep fingers crossed, i saw the end of day today, names like hiatts had a big move into the glows and got some defense so hopefully the markets may see the worst of anything that can happen close, i will know sooner rather than later about so far you see the numbers. Neil im very sorry to interrupt you, going to the Florida Governor as it will well, ron desantis speaking. Samples had to be sent to the cdc in atlanta but that obviously took quite a bit of time, these labs in miami, february 22nd, theyve tested a total of 1653 but if you look just a week ago, thats a pretty significant increase from where we were a week ago. And during the week of march 8th, private laboratories began processing covid19 laboratory tests. There is other certified labs, they do have to report the results. This is a reportable disease so they do the testing end of the department of health gets the information. So they have been doing that, we see more of the drive through testing, when that gets sent to private labs, people are going to get a text message and theyll know before the department of health knows what the result was. And at that point thats when the investigation would begin. Theyve done on the private side, 2,050 tests so if you go back a week, ten days ago, i think thats probably three or four increaseds. I think we need to do way more tests than that, that was one of the things, as soon as we declare the state of emergency you have the stuff with the task at, i asked to get as many kids as possible so weve now distributed 2500 test cats, so each kit can do a number of tests. I think the total for 2,500 kids is over 600,000 individual tests. What i learned on this is getting a test kit, doesnt mean you can do the test, the department of health has distributed 200 negative and 200 positive controls. We also are working on making sure all the labs have enough reagents to do the test but probably the biggest supply issue that were seeing, too, biggest supply issues, one relates really, just specific to testing is the swabs to take the sample. We put in the order of probably a week and a half ago, weve not gotten that fulfilled yet, ask them to send it if we have enough swabs, and we set up the drive through sites, some of the state labs and private labs he here, a huge supply of swabs will let us ramp up the number of people that can be tested very quickly. So i told jared, do whatever you can to get the swabs, you know, certainly the president from without be the one thing i would say would be helpful, that and the ppe for the health care workers. When youre doing this testing you got to be in the special equipment, ppe so you dont catch the virus. Some of this stuff is not reusable, you think, youve got to use a new one every time so that staff has been in short supply so ive been talking with a lot of hospital folks and thats one of the main supply needs they have. But i think thats probably going to be nationwide, if you look at the last two, three weeks, this is probably the biggest rush to get medical supplies in the histoe united states. We cant have enough ppe right now, so the swabs, the reagent and ppe, if we get more of that in we are putting the infrastructure in place and hopefully we be able to expand in my view is if you look at the Different Countries that a face this, the one thats been the most successful, south korea because they were able to do a lot of testing, they did not do draconian controls on their population, they promoted social distancing but they were able to do the tests, do the investigations, isolate the proper people. If you look in florida right now, we have about 50 of our cases are miamidade and broward counties, the rest are spread out here, i think a majority of our county still dont have anywhere close to dont have any positive tests yet. You have community spread, very likely data, obviously we want to know how many asymptomatic people are carrying that, so if i have the materials, we can get that in florida, we would be able to expand a number of people in the category of people who would be able to come in and get tested. Thats what weve been working on nonstop and ive learned a lot about how this works but hopefully we are getting in the right place on that. The other thing i would say that hospitals have done, most hospitals in the state have started neil ron desantis, governor of connecticut speaking right now, thanking the president for what seems to be promising cooperation, we will listen into that. We do need day care available so those nurses and doctors and other First Responders can get to work and be confident. Trying to put together day care and child care, nearby our Nursing Homes as well, doing everything we can to make sure our First Responders are able to keep working. Look, at the meeting, housing commissioner, dss, mental health, all the other things that get unleashed when youre confronted with a crisis like this, look at the number of folks who are homeless and if youre homeless you get infected with covid19, where do we put you . We are trying to find additional facilities, field hospitals, other places, so for those who need just intermediate care, no longer in a crisis or critical condition, they can free up beds and hospitals to make space for others going forward. Weve been in contact with all our regional governors, josh can tell you about some of the other things, we just issued a declaration as regard to our major malls, we are going to be closing them down in connecticut like they are in rhode island, new york, new jersey. Again, one more place where people are likely to congregate, one more place where people might get infected. And we are doing this, you know, out of love for each and every one of the citizens of this great state. We just put up the electronic billboards, up and down our highways, if youre sick, stay home. If youre over 60, stay close to home. Heal thyself. These are the messages we are trying to share. When im going to introduce you to our commissioner of Public Health, i just want you to know that weve implanting neil across the country, governors are addressing their people, we are on top of it. It seems to be well coordinated. Very similar as i said at the outset to the feeling of camaraderie right after 9 11. Also that stays, we will get to that after this.

Neil we got a new warning about the possible number of coronavirus cases, that they could rise substantially. Top doctor at Columbia University predicting a case for the covid19 virus to go from 1o potentially more. The doctor joining me is. I will say this right. Im having trouble seeing today. Let me ask you a little bit about the fear that these cases grow a lot. The flip side is if we get more and more cases, the denominator gets bigger so fears about the death rate growing larger are somewhat mitigated. That seems like a macabre way to look at it but how do you feel about it . What i think you are referring to is that as more people get infected, they are out of the pool of susceptibles and there are no longer going to get new infections. The epidemic in itself is what we call selflimiting. As the cycle goes through. But the problem we have here is because its a newly emerging virus to which has Natural Immunity to, its going to go through an enormous portion of the population before it settles down and goes away. So im really looking at something realistically if we didnt have control measures in place that would infect 50 to 70 of the worlds population within a couple years. Neil you are an epidemiologist. You know about this. You also know about the fear that now its a global pandemic. A lot of people here that and say whoa, how much worse can it get. Whats your sense . Look, i think we have to be very clear about what the worst case is in a realistic way. The virus that we are dealing with here unfortunately has the right combination of characteristics that allows it to be particularly problematic and deadly. Those are two things. Firstly, in the majority of people it causes mild symptoms. Its a type of thing that you and i would get in the winter. You get a cold and you are like i will just take some ibuprofen.
