Could get delayed. Not necessarily denied. Whats happening . Good afternoon to you. The largest ever stimulus package came together after days of roundtheclock negotiations culminating in a deal overnight last night in the Early Morning hours. Senators are saying they caught an issue that they want fixed. If you are unemployed, you could get up to 326, you get half your income. 600 wage now becomes 300. What the federal government does is put 600 on top of that 300. Instead of making 600 when you are working, you are now making 900 not working. The 2 trillion package includes 130 billion 350 billion for Small Businesses. Four months of unemployment insurance. And for Many American families, 1200 for adults, 500 per child. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell realized the need to get this done. No Economic Policy could fully end of the hardship so long as the Public Health requires that we put so much of our nations commerce on ice. This is not even a stimulus package. It is emergency relief. Chuck schumer says it was worth the wait. We can now call it a bill that puts workers first, not corporations. It has a Marshall Plan for hospitals and accountability, transparency, and watchdogs over much of the lending that is in this bill. Mitch mcconnell has been saying that he wants the senate to vote today. We will see if we can work out the bumps on the road. Assuming it happens at some point later tonight, the house could vote as early as tomorrow or perhaps it would slip till friday, neil. Neil thank you very, very much. John roberts ahead of briefing we are going to get from the president and his Health Officials in about an hour. 5 00 this afternoon the Coronavirus Task force will be that off by the president. Relief earlier today, neil, the democrats and republicans have finally come to an agreement on this bill later than the president would have liked. These bumps on the road that mike emanuel was talking about just a second ago may lead to further delay which would not please love white house. As of this morning, the press secretary was optimistic that this week it done. Speak to their president has been very active in this process. Hes well aware of what is in it. He has been pushing for congress to do the right thing and help the american people. We are really looking forward to this boat so that he can sign it until law. The sticky point had been this idea of oversight and how the money that was given to corporations would be used and whether they would be restrictions on edge. There president himself said last week that he didnt think that that money should be used for things like stock buybacks or increased compensations for executives. Bernie sanders now threatening to put a hold on the bill unless there are increased restrictions on how corporations use the money that is if senators do not drop their objections to it. The president insists that there will be robust oversight in this fiscal stimulus. Listen to what he said yesterday. President trump very tough protections for the american taxpayer. The loans will be very secure, and they will be very profitab profitable. You could add one more voice to people who are not happy with this bill, but for different reason. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has 30,000 cases of coronavirus in his state. New york city, one in 1,000 people are infected. He said theres not enough money for him. Okay, heres the package that gives a 3. 8 billion. The hold is as high as 15 billion. How do you plug a 15 billion old with 3. 8 billion . You dont. So the white house is still optimistic that this is going to get done. Later on today. Then it will go to the house, of course, where nancy pelosi has made it clear that she thinks a lot of things like tax breaks for wind and solar energy and decreased Greenhouse Gas emissions for airlines and sameday Voter Registration should be part of the whole package. So that could be a whole other kettle of fish when it lands on her desk, neil. Neil and here we go. He john roberts, thank you very, very much. Senator, do you worry this thing could be unraveling . We have got to take care of the american worker. I have not seen a draft of the bill yet. Ive not seen the text yet. I got a briefing a little earlier about the unemployment. A big proponent of using the state unemployment system what i want to do is make sure it works. Ours works in florida. When i left, there is billion dollars in the bank. The existing provision we found today you could be paid more money to be on unemployment than having a job. Once we get past this virus, we want everybody to rush back to these jobs and rebuild these businesses. If our businesses cant get their employees back because of the incentives, thats not going to get the economy going again. We have to get the economy going again. Neil you know Bernie Sanders has threatened that if you or your republican colleagues try to unravel this in the legislation quoting here, senator i am prepared to put a hold on this bill until stronger conditions are imposed on the 500 billion corporate welfare fund. This could get pretty dicey, right . I think, neil, people want to make sure we are helping our Small Businesses and helping the people that have lost their jobs. We have to do it the right way. So that we get the economy going again. I think the president has been very clear. We have to wonder, do with the coronavirus and thats what we are doing. Once we have that under control, we have to get this economy going again. In my case, im very focused on how we stop the virus, how we stop the spread and how we get all of these businesses open again. I dont want to do something thats going to create the opposite effect. Neil but what he is saying, senator that is Bernie Sanders. You even attempt to do so, hes going to put a hold on it. Can want senator do that . It depends. It depends on how they try to pass look. I believe that people want to do the right thing, here. Others believe that people understand that we should not create an incentive where people create more do not work then work. None of us i dont know anyone that believes that you get paid i can imagine people dont want to fix this. Neil theres been some some debate over the president s hopes that as soon as eight exterior a few weeks from now. We could start unwinding these at home closed restaurants and shops and provisions or at least start that process. How do you feel about that . First off, im glad that president has the goal. I put up my 30 day plan. Its really up to the american public. We can starve this virus if we stay home and make sure the virus stay home if you can. If you are positive if you take a test and you are positive, you got to do 14 days of quarantine. If we do that, i believe we ought to do some other things. We had to give people a break and not have to pay their you know, their mortgages, the rent, car payment for 60 days. If we serve this virus, and we give robust testing, then i think we are going to open whether it is 30 days or 40 days or 45 days or more, its up to us. The more that we can control what we do every day each one of us, all americans to stop this virus from spreading, then we will get back to work. Neil all right, we will watch very closely. Senator, thank you very, very much. Florida senator rick scott. The advances at the corner of wall and rod today, the dow up to 500 points. It had been up north in 1200 points. This is still a great gain. A lot of it was chipped away late in the day when we got word that this stimulus package at least that the United States senate could have some bumps along the way. Susan li right now on i guess we will call it stock surged a 2. A 2. I guess day reports is the great depression. The first backtoback session of gain since early february before the Coronavirus Crisis began. Wall street is still hoping that the 2 trillion to him this plan will go through which will send checks to americans, extend and implement benefits and give those to Small Businesses. We get to see the likes of boeing rally as much as 37 to date with the sessions along with the airlines. They are seen as the main recipients of any government aid. Energy stocks are rising with the stock in oil prices. It wasnt all good news in the session. We saw yields on a shortterm treasury thats one month and three months go negative for the very first time in history. This is what we call bidding the short end of the curve as they call it. That means that most people are not optimistic on the economy peered into next month, in the next three months. We will see how bad things really are tomorrow morning 8 30 a. M. Jobless claims for the week. And we have predictions as high as 4 million unemployment. Those that are seeking benefits for the very first time. The average economist is looking for 1 million. Compare that to their previous record in 1982 were only 695 americans filed for jobless claims. Most are expecting this to be in the seven figures, neil. Neil just incredible. Widely anticipated but when you see that imprinted it will be a jaw dropper decision. Thank you very, very much. Those are for jobless claims. The number of americans applying for Unemployment Benefits bright and early tomorrow morning. You heard from a republican senator who is not too, too worried about what would happen in the United States senate. Now youre going to hear from a democrat. Because joe manchin is here and only here. And it looks like we are worried more about the economy that we are the health care and the wellbeing of the people of america. Dont have time for this. We dont have time for it. Answer my question. In what way with the democratic minority the majority the senator from West Virginia. 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. No no no no no, theres no space there maybe over here . Hot hot oven mitts oven mitts everythings stuck in the drawers im sorry oh, jeez. Hi. Kelly clarkson. Try wayfair oh, ok. Its going to help you, with all of. This yeah, here you go. Thank you oh, i like that one [ laugh ] thats a lot of storage perfect. Youre welcome i love it. How did you do all this . Wayfair speaking of dinner, whatre we eating, guys . Unlike ordinary wmemory supplementsr . Neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. Memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. Try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference. Here hold this. Follow that spud. [ tires screech ] the big idaho potato truck is touring america telling folks about idaho potatoes. And i want it back. What is it with you and that truck . It looks like we are worried more about the economy than a health care an end the wellbeing of the people of america. Senator, i understand even if it were in a vote, there are still 30 more hours. We know that. In what way, i would ask my friend from West Virginia, would your side be disadvantaged by that . Americans are waiting for us to ask today. Laid out very clearly as she always does. We dont have time for this. We dont have time for it. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. In what way with the democratic minority senator from West Virginia. Senator from West Virginia has the floor. Neil all right, you dont often see that, the normally genteel florida of the United States senate. About things are getting hot and heavy and not only between senator joe manchin a Mitch Mcconnell about between a number of other senators that were in each others faces. Lets get a sense of how things are going right now. Senator joe manchin joining us. Good to have you. Good to be with you, neil, how are you . Neil good. Have you and senator mcconnell talked since then, things calm down . They called out immediately right after that. The bottom line as mitch was saying, how could you not wait for another vote because you have 30 hours. First of all, you have 30 hours because someone objects. The senate and the house or the senate we dont object on the democrat side. Mostly it comes from the republic is on objections paired with that being said, i told him, he has control. You get on the first culture we go on the billing get on the bill. He has total control of the agenda. He can fill it with what he wants to. Then you get something jammed at you. We werent dealing a good faith. That was the problem. I wasnt going to move in that direction. I didnt want to go into that dialogue with him. Its getting in the weeds and we should have gone they appeared at the bottom line was, if we had been able to sit down and work out a bipartisan bill. Mitch should have never taken that vote that day. He took the boat and it was a political vote. Neil the bottom line is, you get another crack at it to your point, senator. Now theres concern. Bernie sanders said if republicans want the revision of the legislation especially the provisions for Unemployment Benefits that are extremely generous, hes going to table it or hold it. Apparently, he can do that. Where do you stand on this . The bottom line is, the way people are explaining though he understood th, and implement benefits, we are going to keep everybody hole. Whatever youre making up to a thousand dollars with a four month extension. If its more generous than that, is not what i understood. Well have to see where it falls. I think we can make this correction if it needs to be a correction, because the understanding was a person is no fault of their own lost a job if they lost a job. And basically business basically had to be shut down because how the virus that we have and health conditions. That person should be kept hole. And that is what we were talking about. That was our intent. That is what i thought we had in there. Neil all right. If it does get to be divisive issue keep in mind that in this latest week, we could have upwards depending on what numbers you believe, senator, 4 billion more americans applying for jobless benefits. You can kind of see the republicans point that this could get very, very expensive. Necessary, but expensive. Is there any middle ground on this . Heres the thing. The republicans were pushing very hard to make sure that everyone got a thousand dollars or 1200. I had concerns about that. As that of a person is still working, i hope they can get their job and paycheck. If a person is not working, we can keep them whole. Guess what . We end up doing both. We will keep them hole. The republicans want to send another 300 billion on top of that. Im not sure whatever. Right now in this meltdown that could happen and we dont want to happen. I said this is not a financial crisis. Its a health care crisis, but it will turn into financial crisis if we dont backstop it. So thats what we are trying to do, a 2fold purpose here. You can debate about the bridge. Is there a bridge too big . Is the bridge more than whats needed . That can be debated. I dont think a person should be making more unemployment and they were when they worked. It doesnt make to me. Neil are you worried real quickly senator about revisions in the house when it gets there . Nothing to do with the coronavirus and everything to do with maybe some political interests that could torpedo this thing there . You know, i think so, neil. That was more messaging on that side. This is not where we are going to be hashing out policies or energy. I have my differences. Im not forcing many other things in the house. With that said, thats where they were going to go. The bill that we are working as a senate bill. At the bill that i think well finally get through. Its been a lot of hard work and a lot of good people on both sides have worked in good faith as far as im not a bipartisan way. Im very hopefully that is where we are going to end up with. Some of these Little Things i miss interpretations or misunderstandings, we can work and i quickly peered most of the drafting has been done. Changes are not that hard to make. Neil all right, senator, we will watch what happens. Thank you very much, senator joe manchin of West Virginia. As the senator was speaking, we are getting some more reminders of how widespread these cases are getting to be globally. The u. S. Now represents 13. 5 of confirmed coronavirus cases. Both numbers are climbing exponentially. We will have more after this. I use rakuten to get cash back instore and online. Or anything i want to buy is going to be on rakuten. Rakuten is easy to use, free to sign up and its in over 3,000 stores. I buy a lot of makeup. Shampoo, conditioner. Books, food. Travel. Shoes. Stuff for my backyard.

All strength we aint stoppin believe me go straight till the morning look like we wont wait were taking everything we wanted we can do it all strength no sweat neil a little while ago about negative Interest Rates. For a while we had and still do 1 of 3, uncle sam trading under water in other words, you have to pay your bank to hang onto your money. Now, it is just restricted to that end of the socalled yield curve. 1 to 3 month yield curve. Can you imagine . What do you do if you have a mortgage . Im taking a leap year, but a lot of it is built on concerns of what is happening with the coronavirus and place to park money. Today, it was benefiting that end of the spectrum. It is a little bit confusing. The capital ceo, very good read. The market housing fraud, you name it. If you dont mind my digressing with this i we had these negative rates, what would that mean if that state a while . Its all tremendously confusing. And i think but the senators are doing is a great example of perfect can kill good. Its very difficult in these it really difficult financial situations. You need a great storyteller like you that also has a great mathematical mind. But negative Interest Rates are in operation for everyone. We never experience them. So you have two sets of constituents. Part of what we have talked about in the commercial is the tale of both of those stories. You have investors who have been searching for yield in the zero Interest Rate environment, seniors, normal working people in the 401 k plan saying, i need to have some income. Where do i find it . One of those vehicles that produce better than ordinary interestrate returns on what people thought were conservative riskadjusted returns. On the other hand, you have borrowers. You have 16 trillion in that residential market. We know that is. You have agencies in fannie and freddie that helped to have the fluidity and that market by creating securitized pools of securities which they enhance or ensure that bonfires can buy that creates more liquidity in the system for the average residential buyer. After doddfrank and part of what you see the senators fighting for here is, theres a loss of confidence. The world hates crisises, and they hate to bail out of a crisis. Because in hindsight, its difficult to see them it was everybody treated fairly and equally . The aftermath of 2008 certainly one that, although everybody did a great job. They all weighed in very quickly with the Economic Stabilization act. In the aftermath, everyone wondered, was that fair . To the average individual fare as well as Goldman Sachs or aig . You see going on now ill fight to make sure that there is transparency, accountability, responsibility to all of those things. If the is melting down for a very strange reasons. Neil on that point, i just want to know from your Vantage Point and given the decline of Mortgage Applications the double digit drop surprise most. People are nervous, period. No matter how promising the rate environment until this virus thing is settled, its not happening. Absolutely. It is not only not happening, but the plumbing is clogged. Not only are people not applying for new mortgages, but people are defaulting on their mortgages. And people are not paying rent. They are without employment. The government has decided the ongoing economy. And that trickledown effect grantors not being able to pay their landlords. Landlords not being able to pay for their lender. Lenders interns not being able to pay to their primary banks or bondholders is a catastrophe. And it is not solvency. It is. Its a timeout. Thats why all of your guests and people are saying forbearance, forbearance. You dont need a bailout pier to the government need to come neil you get very nervous. Tom, i have to go to that commercial break. So we can pay our bill. Thank you very much for that clarity. Talk about liquidity. Its about cash. Its about some sort of assurance as tom said that it will leave cash around. A lot of people are worried that they wont. They are hedging their bets by holding back. We come back, what walmart is doing to help things. Not only for you though shopper, but for a lot of those walmart workers after this. Turn on my tv and boom, its got all my favorite shows right there. I wish my Trading Platform worked like that. Well have you tried thinkorswim . This is totally customizable, so you focus only on what you want. Okay, its got screeners and watchlists. And you can even see how your predictions might affect the value of the stocks youre interested in. Now this is what im talking about. Yeah, itll free up more time for your. Uh, true crime shows . British baking competitions. Hm. Didnt peg you for a crumpet guy. Focus on what matters to you with thinkorswim. Neil expect to get this venture approved certainly in the United States. Meanwhile, half a world away we are looking at Prince Charles with a positive diagnosis for covid19. What happens after this. Limu emu doug [ siren ] give me your hand i can save you. Lots of money with Liberty Mutual we customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Neil considered this when youre talking the coronavirus. The number one place the epicenter if you will of the United States, then state that accounts for half of the cases that we have right now is in new york state. And get a load of this. The number of cases seem to be doubling every three days. Rick leventhal at the latest outside the nyu center. Rick. We do have a glimmer of hope here at the epicenter it with almost 31,000 positive cases state wide nearly 18,000 here in the city. The primary focus of courses battling those so proud of the epidemic is distancing control. Today Governor Cuomo says that the efforts to keep residents off the street is paying off. Their projection was that hospitalizations were doubling every two days. Okay . On monday, the numbers and suggested that the hospitalizations were doubling every 3. 4 days. On tuesday came at the projection suggested that the hospitalizations were doubling every 4. 7 days. Now, that is almost too good to be true. He says he still has had about the Health Care System overloaded and running on a shortage of ventilators, gowns, masks, and hospital beds with temporary facilities being built including a Convention Center at fresh supplies being trucked in by fema. It is a strange time to be in new york. At the streets are eerily quiet. Everything is closed. Its like early sunday morning here 24 7, neil. Neil just surreal. Thank you my friend, very, very much. In the middle of all of this, you have a number of major stores, a number of stores all saying, after something to do, we will. Walmart leading the way right now but taking extra measures not only to provide relatively affordable goods for those who shop there, by protections for those who work there. The former walmart ceo joins us right now. Mel, a number of measures including cash bonuses upfront and protecting the health of workers these are more than cursory treats for those workers. They are fairly acrosstheboard. And for everybody. Could you explain what is going on . You know, walmart has always been a company that takes care of the people that work there. Its at its base a smalltown company that grew to be this enormous global enterprise. But down deep at its roots, they really do care about the people that work there and are providing anything and everything they can do to help both their customers and their employee base. Neil but how does the store manage that distance rule and Everything Else when you go there . Look, those people that work in the store and there are over 1 million of them in the u. S. They get up and they go to work every single day, and those jobs are very hard. They were hard when the situation was good. And they are nearly unbearable now. And every single one of them deserves a medal if you want my view. Walmart is terrific with managing with processes and rules. If they have developed industry to take got times to try to keep people the people that work there and the customers as safe as possible. But they understand that their role was to provide services and goods and food and medicines to anybody and everybody. And i just wish there was a couple of them in new york could we try to put them in a few times, but never managed to get it done. Neil now, i remember that very well. Thank you for your patience. A lot of breaking news here. We have to cut thats a little short. We have bill simon, the former walmart ceo. By the way, we are waiting to see what if anything happens in the senate, whether they can resolve differences in this measure that was once a gimmick by tonight. They read from marco rubio on all of that after this. I had always heard stories about my great grandfather, but family can only tell you so much. About your history.

Hisamitsu. We need to stay on top of them and make sure it gets executed. That money needs to get a peoples hands. Once individuals have 1,000 or 1200 in their hands, they start to have a little bit of control. Neil all right, mark cuban it with me earlier today on fox business, which if you dont get it, you should demand especially in these days with the crazy markets. Marco rubio i want my senator from the beautiful state of florida. When essentially cuban was saying as the longer that the stimulus measure drags on, the more problematic its going to be. Do you have a feeling this to this measure with, you know, its an that have come up over what is to be included, Unemployment Benefits et cetera is going to have a bumpy ride . Yeah, look. We have never done this before. Everybody needs to be a little humble. Weve never put 2 trillion into the economy so quickly. I know that part ive been working on the Small Business part. Our biggest concern is if you made this complicated and told the Small Business they had to go fill out a bunch of forms, they werent going to do it. Thats why we used in existing infrastructure. We already have banks that are preapproved preferred lenders that work for spa. We said start with that network of 800 lenders and use that infrastructure. Not the same program, but the infrastructure. You can show up as a Small Business, heres my payroll a february 15th. Im a real business. And you get 250 of your payroll. If you use it to pay your employees whether they are people you laid off and bring back our people that you keep on, you dont have to pay it back. We want to make it very simple very quick. Im hopeful. That needs to move very fast. People are making decisions every day and they are in desperate straits. Neil and others have broad bipartisan support, senator, to your credit. This sticky issue was how generous to make that Unemployment Benefits has reached a point where it republicans arguing that they think it is so generous that there is nothing to compel someone receiving those benefits from looking for a job when all this dies down. Your colleague, Bernie Sanders has said that if republicans try to reopen that, hes going to put a hold on this. Where do you think this is going . First of all, i think its important what we need to interpret is what is the intention . A lot of people are saying that was not the intention. This might be a drafting error. If its just a drafting error, that is surmountable. If it is not a drafting error, i think its going to be a lot of problem. I will tell you my personal view is, we are probably not going to have this problem. If you look at the states like florida right now, these unemployment systems that this is going to be distributed through are not set up to handle 20 or 25 unemployment. Just this year of volume, you cant get your phone calls answered. Websites are crashing. I dont think any state in america has built an unemployment system set up to handle that volume with claims which is on its way. That is to me why it is so important that Small Businesses have this money available so they can hire people and keep them from going on unemployment. They can bring that back which is where i think most of these people would rather be. Neil do you think, senator, maybe by easter a few weeks from now, thats a good time to revisit these stayathome rules and other things . And start unwinding . Do you think that is too soon, about right, what . First of all, the white house has been issuing guidance. The stayathome directives are coming from the state and local level. The federal level is issuing guidance. Thats going to make the issues. I would love for this to be over by easter. But i think that needs to be decided on a number of factors. How much have we built up our capacity to handle the cases if there is a new surge . Are we not able to test people so we can effectively quarantine them so they dont affect others including their own family . Are we set up to protect every senior and testing your so we dont have outbreaks in Nursing Homes and retirement communities . I think three weeks is too quickly to expect Treatment Options to be available. How fast is the infection rate going . At the end of the day, this is pretty straightforward. If the infection rate gets too fast, you will have more people showing up at hospitals that we can handle. It impacts not just a covid patients, it affects everyone else if you show up with a heart attack, car accident, they wont be able to take care of you. We need to avoid that Regional Health care collapses that they are on the verge of in new york city. Neil so that is to wait . I think we need to make those decisions on the basis of what the numbers tell us basically. We are truly in uncharted territory. We dont know what china did, because they are not very transparent. I dont think we can so they make this decision on the basis of economics. You cant have a growing economy if you have a significant of your population dying and your hospitals arent working. Neil senator marco rubio, thank you for joining. Thank you. Neil all right, lets go to the white house. At the Briefing Room right now in about 15 minutes.

Positive. The virus does not discriminate by gender or class. Buckingham palace reducing the statement regarding the heir to the throne. He has been displaying mild symptoms, but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual. At the 71yearold prince is in self isolation in scotland. At this point, it is unknown how he caught the virus. He was last seen at a public event in march 12 and has had a number of private meetings with people since then. It was apparently tested on monday i got the positive test results on tuesday. His wife, has also been tested and does not have a virus. At the spokesperson says, at the pair requirements for testing, but with covid19 tests in short supply, the royalties face them criticism. We are compelled to check in with the mom of fox news correspondent jenny manning. She lives in england. She tells us he is a royal, and that is one of his entitlements. So people should just suck it up. The complainers should just zip it. In other words, if Prince Charles wants a test, maybe he should get a test. We are told the queen it now at age 9 93 93 at her husband Prince Philip, aged 98 remain in good health. But we dont know whether they have been tested. Neil, back to you. Neil all right, anita. Remind me not to mess with jonathans mom. The world wants are extraordinary. Why do you think of all of this . What happens now . I mean, honestly, the thing that every one wants to pry towards now is the health of the royal family. They are in their 90s. We do know that Prince Charles spent time with his mother on march 12th. Now his doctors said, he probably wasnt contagious until march 13th. But that is really playing it very close to the line. I think that we all want to make sure that the queens and asked good health as possible particularly given her age. Neil two they spread out as a royal family . How do they handle this when they all go into i will collect quarantine but something close to it. They are all spread out and in completely different residences. William and kate are in more folks with their children. And the queen and Prince Philip are both at windsor castle. They are about as far apart as they can be. We know that i queen and Prince Philip are operating with a very skeleton staff of about 80 people in comparison to the 100 Staff Members that they normally have at buckingham palace. They are taking every precaution. We want to make sure that they continue to stay as healthy as possible. Neil you are the royal expert. With the one good thing i dont want to frame this the wrong way about someone of his notoriety getting this is that it reminds the world, be careful. These guys are getting it, you could, too. Absolutely. I think that a lot of people are drawing attention to is the fact that Prince Charles didnt really appear to be observing those social distancing advisements that have been put out there. He attended at least six public engagements in the days leading up to his renewable. He wasnt appearing to stay away from people. He looked as though he was shaking hands and getting very close to people. So hopefully this will serve as a lesson to everyone in the u. K. And further abroad that you really do need to take those advisements in good faith and observe the regulations that have been put out by health authorities. Neil very good catching up with you. These issues coming up in the White House Briefing minutes away after this. But allstate helps you. With drivewise. Feedback that helps you drive safer. And that can lower your cost now that you know the truth. Are you in good hands . Neil all right, foxs announcing elton john will host a new benefit special. Fox presents the concert sunday march 29th come a commercial free one hour airing across box platforms featuring todays biggest artist. Pay tribute to the frontline medical professionals working the dream patients. To seek donations, viewers and listeners alike, something to look forward to. Tune in as the world unites on this big hit show. Meanwhile, the doctor right now, the Infectious Diseases and what he wants to hear out of the president and the task force. Minutes away from addressing the nation. Doctor, good to have you. Anything in particular you are looking to learn . Well, i think they were looking for a continued assistance from the federal government. Obviously, we are still having trouble with penetrance of being able to test as widely as we would like to. We have deficiencies in the amount of pte or personal protective equipment so this is the masks, respirators, the like, that we would need to have to take care of patients. And it would be certainly welcome to have the pipeline opened up and delivery of more of those types of equipment items. Similarly, we want to see the process of developing drugs and vaccines expedited as much as possible. So those are the things we need help with. And then, we continued to need the government at all levels to emphasize that the personal distancing, social distancing is extremely important at this point. This is our one chance to blunt the curb and prevent the transmission of this in a more widespread fashion throughout the country. Obviously, there are points of the country that are struggling right now. We want to make sure this does not happen countrywide. It is important for folks to be listening to their state and local Public Health as well as the governmental officials. Stay home. Do that social distancing, and lets all blunt this curve together. Neil are we ready, you think by easter . That was one of the goals set out there to start unwinding and not stop all this but start unwinding. Well my think that is ambitious goal. And it is good to have some hope and to have a name that we are trying to achieve. But i think it is probably a little bit premature. Obviously we will have to look at data as it rolls out, but i d four, six, eight weeks before we are really able to clinch down on this. Everything that we are seeing today happened a week or two ago. So it will continue to get worse as these things are put into place and then finally have their effect. I think it is a little bit ambitious tos cnf decline in two weeks and cases for folks to really go back to life as normal. That is a little unrealistic, im afraid. We will look at it closely, doctor, thank you what you are doing on the front lines. We do appreciate your efforts. Thank you again.
