Ten. There are now 11 cases in new york state, yesterday, new jersey announced its first presumptive case, bringing the total number of states with active cases to 17. At this hour, School Districts, hospitals, and now congress doing all they can to address spread of the virus, and fears that come with it. The house yesterday passing an 8 billion emergency funding package to help fight the virus. The senate is set to vote on the bill later today, this as two of the hardesthit states in the country are taking extreme measures this morning. And thats where were going to begin. Steve patterson is standing by in kirkland, washington, ander in mclaughlin in san francisco. Steve, you told the team you can feel a turning point this morning. What does that mean . Reporter stephanie, i dont think theres any question, worries the past few days, people felt it was a big scary story they were living next to. People will wake up today, realize daily life is impacted in a big way, starting with recommendations from the Public Health department, telling anyone over 60, with preexisting conditions, anyone pregnant, recommending they stay away from public spaces, large gatherings. Obviously these are not mandates, these are recommendations, but theyll make an impact. Secondly, School Districts in the area, north shore district is more than 23,000 students, 33 buildings. That district has announced it will shut down for the next 14 days, at least. Thats the largest district over the longest amount of time to be shut down as other schools and districts monitor the situation. Some outside that district monitoring day by day, will shut down school today as well. The work force is impacted. Several name companies, telling workers to stay home if feasible, telecommunicate, several including microsoft, amazon, rei, facebook had its first case of coronavirus, it is shutting down its seattle office. All of this capped by a visit by Vice President mike pence, scheduled to meet with the governor today, scheduled to tour the Emergency Operation center, and deliver a joint press conference with the governor, but i think for real people in real lives, theyll feel a change waking up today, stephanie. Think about the real people, lives, disruption for shift workers, for people that are freelancers, has may not have the dont have the opportunity to work to get paid, and dont have backup child care if theyre home indefinitely. Erin, help us understand whats going on with the cruise ship and when we hear the state of california is in an emergency, what does that actually mean . Reporter hey, stephanie. The grand princess cruise ship with up to 2500 passengers could have arrived here yesterday at pier 27 in san francisco. Instead it is being held offshore this morning. Test kits are being flown out by the coast guard on helicopters to the cruise liner. Up to 100 passengers and crew expected to be tested for the virus. Of those passengers and crew, 21 exhibiting flulike symptoms, over 60 passengers aboard the previous trip, that is problematic because of what happened on board the cruise liner in previous trip to mexico. Two tested positive for coronavirus, including an elderly man, confirmed as californias first fatality, had Underlying Health conditions, and boarded the cruise vessel, once disembarked, then falling very sick. Theyre concerned about state of the passengers and crew currently out at sea. Anyone suspected of having the virus is currently asked to stay in their state rooms. A lot of uncertainty and concern offshore of san francisco. Thank you, erin and steve. Joining me to explain why all this matters to you at home, ron claim, former ebola coordinator, former chief of staff of al gore, and democratic congressman from california, ruiz, an emergency room physician. I am glad youre here. You were the person in charge of our response during the ebola outbreak. Given what you know about corona, how concerned are you . Look, im concerned. Were seeing kind of a failure of competence, failure of confidence. On the competence side, arent testing people rapidly enough. You put up the map with 163 known cases, the number is significantly higher simply because we arent testing and finding cases. Just started testing the other day in new york, there are 11 cases already. All these numbers will grow dramatically. We also have a crisis of confidence. The president continues to lie to the American People about the disease, he continues to mislead people, misstate the facts. His Public Health officials contradict him publicly at risk of their own jobs to protect our safety and how much longer will the president allow that to continue. Whats different about this situation than other situations, democrat or republican, this isnt a partisan issue, whats different here is this president isnt letting the scientists speak up. He challenges anyone that tells him bad news, and that crisis in confidence is leading to the gyration in the markets, people shutting businesses down, all this kind of uncertainty on the economy is coming from the erratic communications from the white house. Congressman, your state, california, is now in the state of emergency with the number of cases climbing, but also the amount of working families who simply dont know what to do, and theyre concerned about taking care of themselves. Whats your message . My message is that for the vast majority of the American People, the illness is mild and many will not even have symptoms. However, we need to Pay Attention to those that are older than 60, have underlying illnesses with disease like diabetes, heart, lung disease, weak immune systems. Those are the individuals that are likely to get really sick. And if you dont have the test, if you dont have enough respirators, enough icu beds, enough personnel, then they can die. So thats why the 8. 3 billion of supplemental aid is so important. Thats why it is so important that the president and the administration do not give discrepancies in information and that they inform the American People early, aggressively to start thinking about what to do if your school closes, what to do if you have to stay home, be quarantined. Ron, how do you address that . That 8 billion is geared at stopping the spread of the virus, but what the disruption causes is massive, and it impacts peoples day to day lives. How do we help those people from a government perspective . I congratulate congress, congressman ruiz and others in passing that package, but that package is urgent, needed, it fights the virus. We also need behind it steps to protect people that are going to suffer economic dislocation because of the virus or frankly because of fear of the virus. Were already seeing layoffs in hospitality and travel industry, that will spread through the economy. Congress should step up quickly with a package that makes it clear, people that lose their jobs temporarily or in the long run could access extended Unemployment Insurance or other kinds of benefits. Employers should look at extending paid leave to workers. In ebola in west africa, even in west africa, major employers that had to send employees home paid the employees while they were home. It is a good Public Health measure. We need to do those things in this country, help people with child care. It will have real pocketbook impacts on men and women all over the country, and thats the next step of what Congress Needs to address. Stephanie, let me add to that. We also have to think about the students who will have to miss a test if theyre quarantined, miss a year of school, have to pay for schools again. We need to protect them. Also have to protect Health Care Workers at the highest risk of getting sick, make sure they have the equipment. If they need to be quarantined, who is taking care of the patients . So what do you do . Yes, this supplement, thats my question to Vice President pence yesterday in a briefing. I said will you activate fema, will you activate dmat, the Health Care Providers from department of defense to go into those fragile locations and take on those shifts in the emergency department. Ron, seeing that youve had to walk this line, working with government leaders, Health Professionals and Business Leaders, how do you figure out if precautionary measures go so far that those measures end up hurting even more than the spread might. Well, i think you have to do both, right . You have to not overreact, not underreact. And stephanie, as i said before, starts with restoring confidence, confidence in communications. Think about one thing the president said. Sick people should go to work. Thats not just bad advice, not just untrue, it will accelerate spread of the disease, make the situation even worse. The president is telling sick people to go to work, businesses and workers will be scared to go to work because they know the president is telling sick people to go to work. It is the worst possible thing that could happen. I think we need to get communications back on track and we need to accelerate the response. I think were so far behind where we should be on the kinds of things congressman ruiz was talking about, ramping up capacity to hospitals. The most modest estimate is this will lead to 60,000 hospitalizations in america. We only have 60,000 hospital beds in Major Hospital beds in america. We dont have capacity and tempo to deal with this. I a i think the Administration Needs to step up. Congressman, youre about to go into an all house briefing on this, well keep the audience up on this and more throughout the day. Ron, stick around, more to cover with you. 2020 ahead, well have much more ahead on corona, growing impact on the economy, a growing list of how some of the Biggest Companies are managing the threat. Also, what about Small Businesses . Former vp and sanders speaking to nbc news as we wait for results from super tuesday.

Biden is riding the waive from the super tuesday performance, telling msnbc how was he feeling. I was certain we would win virginia, north carolina, alabama, i was certain we would win other states. But as big as it was, i was a little surprised about massachusetts, i was surprised about minnesota, and i was hopeful about texas. That as senator sanders goes back on the trail today, fielding questions about if he can broaden his base, and then the question of whether senator warren will stay in the race at all. I have to go to ali vitale in cambridge, massachusetts. You have been reporting on warren. What are sources telling you, is this about her staying in the race or which frontrunner shes going to back . Reporter yes, stephanie, you make a great point. Publicly, the line out of the campaign is shes reassessing her options, what an aide told me yesterday. Privately there are a lot of ways this can go. There are three things i have been hearing consistently. She could end up suspending the campaign, suspend the campaign, endorse someone like joe biden or Bernie Sanders, she could end up staying in this. There is a percolation in democratic progressive circles that maybe it is worth staying in the race until the next debate, sort of a type of insurance policy to see how sanders and biden hold up once they get that smaller field frontrunner scrutiny. Thats something that all of the three options have in common, none of them end up with Elizabeth Warren as the democratic nominee. All of the ideas are percolating. I think the thing the last option hinges on, this is something i havent heard from the campaign but that is out in democratic circles as a theory that could possibly happen, the thing the theory hinges on is how volatile the race has been. Take the last week. I know you talked about this on your show, joe biden, we were writing his political obituary before South Carolina, now he has an air of inevitability. We wait for Elizabeth Warren to make the decision, something that my colleague said from the washington post, the underpinning of all this for Elizabeth Warren is having the power and leverage to enact her ideas and her agenda. Joining me, Los Angeles TimesWhite House Reporter eli stoke else, ron fornier, you got back from california, you were covering super tuesday. We dont have final results from the state, there are a lot of headlines still saying bernie has that state. Bernie will win the state. The final question, the final results will be by how much. You can already tell the margin is not what the sanders folks expected. Voting in california began february 3rd, night of iowa caucuses. That was a much different race back then. Yes, there were some voters that cast ballots early for candidates no longer in the race, but seems clear a lot of voters held onto ballots until the final week, and that they were effected by the late biden surge as well. Ron, michigan primary is tuesday. In 2016, Bernie Sanders beat hillary clinton. This is a state you know best. How do you see it playing out tuesday . This could be interesting unless he changes the narrative. Governor whitmer endorsed joe biden, thats a reflection of what happened in 2018. A coalition of African Americans and women flooded to the polls, turned tables on donald trump. What they wanted was donald trump out of the white house. Thats what we saw last tuesday. Her endorsement is a sign maybe that wave will continue through michigan. You mention early votes. Michigan is a state if you voted for pete, if you voted for mike, for amy, you can spoil your vote and recast it. Theres been 200 increase in people in michigan spoiling their vote to recast it. Youve got to think, looking at the trend most of those votes are being cast for joe biden, which has really got to scare Bernie Sanders. Let me ask, ron, about the governors endorsement. How influential is that . You know, endorsements generally arent very indicative. They were obviously with clyburn in South Carolina and then with pete and amy getting out, that was able to let biden coalesce. In this case, i dont think Governor Whitmer as popular as she is will transfer votes to biden, but shes a reflection of whats happening in the state. Suburban women, africanamerican voters sick and tired of donald trump that theyre willing to come out in numbers like they did when barack obama ran for president in a way they didnt for hillary clinton. We keep hearing over and over more saying theyre voting for normalcy, voting with their heart. Last night, senator sanders addressed concerns about lack of support he is getting from minority voters. Heres what he said. In California Well outpaced by joe biden among black voters. We are winning with people of color in a significant degree. Black voters, you know it was a problem in 2016. Might have cost you the election then. How has it gotten better . Were running against somebody that touted his relationship with barack obama for 8 years. Barack obama is enormously popular in this country in general and the Africanamerican Community. So sanders says it is all about obama. Look, theres no question, stephanie, voters of all races, democrats like barack obama, like the fact that joe biden was his Vice President , they like the fact that in michigan as ron knows very well, barack obama and joe biden saved the states economy with the auto bailout. But this goes deeper than that with joe biden. He has a 40 year history working with the Africanamerican Community in his state, in the senate, fighting for the Voting Rights act, extension of labor laws and other protections, rights protections. But i think it goes to the kind of campaign hes running. He is out there talking about the people that are left behind, left out. He is talking about compassion, empathy, he is talking with his heart on his sleeve. I think thats connecting with voters. As ron mentioned, it is a coalition of africanamericans and suburban voters who really want trump gone, want a candidate that seems decent, honest, caring, compassionate. All of the qualities missing in donald trump that theyre missing from public life every day. Joe biden represents that. I think he is just capturing this moment so powerfully with what he stands for. We have seen senator sanders with an impressive movement, think of all of the people that show up for him, that rally, attend his rallies. He said im not looking to be part of the establishment, theyre on notice. He is saying he is going to energize his base, bring in new voters. Were not seeing the numbers yet. Can he get there . Thats it. Thats the real lesson and surprise of super tuesday, that the real turnout candidate was not Bernie Sanders, it was joe biden. It was joe biden bringing out voters who were basically saying to the Democratic Party just give us somebody we can vote for, and the truth was they would do anything for love but wouldnt do that as if they wouldnt do Bernie Sanders. Meatloaf. Thats really the lesson here. The democrats are looking for a democrat who reflects their values and interest and it is clearly not bernie. I cant believe there was a meatloaf reference at 9 23 in the morning. Eli, we talked about senator warren, both campaigns, sanders and biden reached out to her. Whats the likelihood here. For her, is this who gives her more power to work on her agenda . I think so. I just dont know if thats really theres a great option there. Biden looks to be more in the drivers seat than sanders, and the idea that the warren supporters that bernie would be their next choice, i dont know that thats necessarily true. Warren was more competing for votes in that middle left lane with mayor pete and klobuchar seems like than bernie who has his own supporters in his own lane. So if she sees a way for Bernie Sanders who may be more ideologically aligned with warren to get elected and beat trump, maybe thats the right place to go, but it is a tough choice for senator warren, certainly with everybody else in the party coalescing around the former Vice President now, probably a lot of pressure to do that as well. Does it matter who she endorses . Of course it matters, she will bring some voters with her. If she dropped out, endorsed bernie, he may have won maine, but it doesnt matter that much. Ron, before we go, we have to look at the last few months. We have seen candidates rise and fall almost overnight. At this moment, joe biden seems to have so much support behind him. Are you concerned that could fade quickly . Well, i dont have a dog in the fight. From the forecast you could see that. Yeah. I have covered politics long enough, living now in michigan long enough to know things can change overnight. Bernie sanders has to change that narrative quick. If he loses michigan, a state he won last time, it is hard to see how he wins the nomination. Last point to you, ron. I take him for the point. Things go up and down. What doesnt change is what the candidates stand for. I think biden message, message of compassion, fighting for those left behind, thats resonating now, and look, we take nothing for granted. Anything can happen. But i think were on the right message with the right candidate, thats always a good place to be in politics. Gentlemen, thank you so much. Le helped us get smarter. Chief Justice Roberts issuing a rare statement denouncing comments by Senate Minority leader chuck schumer, arguments on a controversial Abortion Case were being heard at the supreme court.

In his statement, roberts wrote in partial this. Threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, theyre dangerous.

Right now, stocks are already down 700 in the last 30 seconds, this after the surge in the market yesterday gave the dowjones its second highest point gain in history. This has been a roller coaster to say the least. Lets bring in cnbcs dom chu and josh brown. What are you looking for . Craziest part is the volatility. Two of the biggest point gains ever in the dow happened in the last three trading sessions. That volatility is whats scaring a lot of investors and traders out there. Of course, it is coronavirus and fears of the unknown driving a lot of traysiding action and ha been the last couple of weeks. Today were hearing more numbers with regard to how bad the Economic Impact will be. In this case here, one of the global trade organizations that represents the Airline Industry says that you could see between 63 billion and 113 billion of revenues lost for the Global Airline business in 2020 because people are traveling less. We know a lot of conferences and large scale events are postponed or turned into virtual teleconferences. The u. S. Economy may slip into recession and whether the global slowdown story takes hold more. Thats the reason volatility is here to stay quite some time, and why traders are watching closely to see whether or not theres any stability. At this point they would like 2 or 300 point day or down 2 or 300 point day versus what weve seen so far. Josh, talk about lack of coordination and trust between the highest levels of government about coronavirus. There are people in the administration, hank paulson, tim geithner saying heres what the real picture is, how do you keep people safe but not panic. Leaders look at the administration and see the president surrounded by 100 loyalist. Steve mnuchin called the president saying he has near perfect genes. Last friday, larry kudlow said time to buy the dip. You have elaine chow and betsy devos, who can Business Leaders trust . This is definitely an issue for corporate leaders. Thats why you see them start to pull employees out of events, start to come up with their own plans to end any kind of International Travel in some cases or all travel period. Seeing google and amazon make the determination it is not worth it. I am not saying cancellations wouldnt happen if people had more faith and confidence in what theyre hearing from the federal government, but it is not making things better. This is the problem with having lack of gravitas around financial decisions, market conversations, economic conversations. Larry kudlows first statement on coronavirus was a couple weeks ago. Air tight. He said air tight, contained. Now of course theyre softening that language. But even the president s body language when theres any briefing, his arms are folded across his chest. It is almost as if Community Spread news is a personal affront to him and to his Reelection Campaign rather than whats becoming a Public Health crisis. If Business Leaders go on mass cancellation, sending employees home, is the perspective better safe than sorry . Yesterday, mike pence met with airlines over a rift in data. Shouldnt data be something theyre in agreement on . Whats interesting is acceleration of a trend thats already been under way for a long time now, which is virtualization. People working remotely. Wework, uber, less physical contact, many more deals being closed, so youre seeing on wall street theyre selecting stocks that benefit from that, theyre looking for opportunities to make money as a result. The airlines unfortunately are on the other side of the trade. One last thing, we have been cheering about the fact we have converted into a Services Based economy in the last 10, 15 years. 70 of every dollar spent in the economy is happening on services. Not on somebody buying a physical good or manufacturing. That works great until you have a scenario where we dont want more than a thousand people to congregate in any one place. Think of the implications for Companies Like live nation, all of the sports teams, all of the concerts, corporate conferences, and airlines, hotels get hit from every angle. I think youre watching that drama play out. On a day like today, steph, 700 points down on the dow, looks like panic, it is not. It is people sorting out which companies will take the longest to recover from what is sure to be a wipe out in march and april of any leisurely activity that requires travel. Josh, take me from companies in the red or green, take me to Small Businesses. What this is going to do to that real economy. I think you asked the most important question. And one of the things i would high five you, you dont have purell on the table. Sold out. One of the things we would love to hear from the white house right now is a contingency plan for Small Businesses, mid size businesses that are not going to benefit from lower Interest Rates right away. They cant do stock buy backs. These are people that own barber shops, restaurants. What do you tell people if they have trouble making payroll because they dont have revenues coming in this month, next month because people are staying home. It would be great for there to be some sort of plan, tell the banks, forebearance on payments due next month, figure out some sort of tax policy, perhaps, that makes it so people dont have to get laid off just because attendance is dropping at whatever business they run. Were not hearing that, Interest Rates are not going to solve anything. They may keep financial conditions somewhat liquid, but thats not the epicenter of the problem. You could lower Interest Rates to zero, im still not going to disneyland. Thats a fact. How about the coffee cart outside your office if everybody at work is sent home. Thank you so much.

A brand new poll from the Financial Times is tracking how americans feel their financial situation has changed since the 2016 election, specifically on one major issue. U. S. Managing editor of the Financial Times, peter siegel joins us now. Whats the one issue concerning americans, and you did this before the corona outbreak. We started polling during the outbreak but not when the markets started railing. It is health care. It is health care. And it has skyrocketed since the campaign started. We started polls back in november, a year out, 25 of americans cited Health Care Costs as the biggest concern, now up to a third. Interesting when you break it down, it is independent voters, it is sort of working class whites in the midwest, prototypical obama, trump voters. Thats why this is an important issue. You hear the candidates talk about it on the campaign trail, trying to get swing voters that they need to beat trump on on the democratic side. Thats why this is interesting. It is really getting to the issue we have seen in polls, people dont feel better off than four years ago, despite all of the top line data on unemployment rate, stock market, on economic growth. It is because these costs are rising and they dont feel in their pocketbook theyre better off. Where is the Biggest Health care fear across the country . The biggest one is the midwest. We break out battleground states. It is michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, states that hillary thought she had locked up that trump won last time around. Again, this is why bernie pushed this issue. Biden said we will do obamacare except better. It is an issue here, but it is amazing how it has gone up. We will be back in the field in a couple weeks, ask about coronavirus, started to ask about it last week. See some concern, i guarantee it will go up, make health care a bigger issue. Youll see it rise on the voter agenda the next couple months. Dont go anywhere. I want to broaden the conversation. Health care costs are a massive fear among americans now, the issue in the democratic primary is whether or not we should eliminate private insurance all together. That plan, medicare for all is a keystone to the campaign of senator Bernie Sanders. Associate professor of economics and author of the case for a job guarantee and also economic adviser to sanders during the 2016 election. Medicare for all, free college, federal jobs guarantee sound great, what doesnt sound great is the cost. What is the probability any of this could become a reality . Probably is big because of the way sanders is running his campaign. The strategy is very different from any other strategy. He is building a grass roots coalition. This is a long haul investment. He is beginning a new conversation with the American Public about what do we need to have, what is basic preconditions for economic security, just to put in context what peter was saying, not just medicare costs that are rising, real average incomes for bottom 19 of families were lower in 2017 than 10 years ago. Real incomes are not rising. Half the working families are making Median Income of 18,000. Everything about the sanders agenda is centered around working families. Everything about it is trying to secure if you will finish Unfinished Business of fdr, to guarantee some basic living wages, basic health care, preconditions for growth and prosperity. Chris . Well, look, the sad reality is with unemployment at 3. 6 , theres still too many people on the sidelines who are unable to find jobs or unable to be fully employed. While as perfect agencily it makes sense, we have to be conscious of political reality. Truth is, there are common sense measures all democrats running for president and all democrats in congress support, whether more job training for starting in careers, people laid off from jobs, efforts to help difficult to hire people, people with disabilities, exoffenders find jobs, or paid family leave which gets more women off the sidelines. It is not just getting a job but ensuring people have a wage that they can raise a family on, and it is one of the reasons the federal minimum wage needs to be raised, why House Democrats proposed doing that. There are Many Democrats to chris point that address this in a broader way. If you look at the super tuesday performance, we see less than anticipated that want radical change. You talk about movement. What gives you confidence this movement could translate into legislative action. Bernie sanders doesnt have a great record. Doesnt seem to me people are responding to what is a radical agenda. In fact, the agenda is not radical in the context of what we have done. Imagine a World Without medicare for all. Imagine a World Without minimum wage or social security. We dont have medicare for all. Without medicare, period. Or medicaid. So those were the foundational stones put in place during fdr, in two years we transformed the economy. What sanders is doing is improving upon those institutional structures that already exist. If you have minimum wage, it has to be living wage. But for the unemployed person, minimum wage is zero. The job guarantee is that first component of the economic bill of rights of fdr, if you want to work, is there really a good reason we cannot provide you Employment Opportunity, help you transition to better paid Employment Opportunity . That is what the job guarantee attempts to do. Chris, to that point, there was a time in the not so distant history when medicare, medicaid didnt exist, even social security. Can you look at sanders proposals and say theyre radical . I dont think theyre truly radical. We also understand how change gets done. I was with president obama in 2009 when he got the Affordable Care act passed, every president since lbj and medicare and medicaid tried to get that done. People forget we barely squeaked that through the house and senate. The idea of public so while tha a mainstream democratic position, understand that is still a pretty big leap politically now. Again, this is not to say we dont strive for more, but we also need to take gains, whether on health care or increased employment where we can get them. To support the point on this, if you look at the Economic Data as chris said, were almost at full employment, 3. 7 , basically full employment. The problem is wage growth. Were not seeing wage growth. Again, if you look at people that feel they were worse off than years ago, they say it is lack of wage growth. You have seen some wage growth in working class levels in state minimum wage increases. To chris point, you cant have effect on those working class voters. It is an issue for democrats that started in the state level, raise that minimum wage, take credit for it, go to voters with that. We havent seen negative effects that republicans in free market economists said when youve seen wages rise in california and elsewhere. Chris has a point on that.
