This we start right now. Zblompblths. Thank you so much for joining us. We begin in italy, where millions of people in the northern part of the country are waking up this morning to discover they are not allowed to go anywhere. The coronavirus outbreak in italy is so bad, nearly 6,000 confirmed cases. The government has effectively now locked down the lombardi region and 14 northern provinces. But the governments action reaches across the country. Social gatherings and cultural events are either being suspended or severely restricted. Cnn is now live in rome. What more can you tell us, delia, because this is quite a change for people in that country . Reporter well, thats right, natalie. Italians are waking up trying to figure out exactly what they can and cannot do, because these new measures were assigned in the early hours of sunday morning. So they are just learning about them as well. As you mentioned, the 14 regions in the north, which include cities, like milan, venice, they are big centers for italy. They are restricting people asking them not to move from one region to the next except for regions of unavoidable work or medical emergency. Supermarkets and pharmacies will remain opened. Restaurants and bars must close in the north by 6 00 in the evening. Obviously, all social activity, ski resorts, gyms and so on have been halted. Sporting events as well, except for professional sports, which will be played behind closed doors. That is without anybody in the stadium. Now, for the rest of the country, restaurants and bars can stay opened, churches can also stay opened as long as we can guarantee that 1 meter distance between people. But museums are closed. Archeological sites are closed. The coliseum, for example in rome is closed. Schools, of course, are closed and will continue to be closed for the next week at least in places outside of the red zone. These measure, natalie, apply for the next three weeks. Weddings and funerals, for example, are halted. So all of the sort of daily activities of italians now have been brought into question. The italian Civil Authority is asking italians to comply with these new measures in order to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. They saw a big spike yesterday. Some 1247 cases new cases bringing them almost to 6,000 cases in italy. Natalie. It is hard to fathom the step they are taking and the impact it will have on italians there. Not to mention the economy, but well stay close contact with you, dellia as this day progresses. Thank you so much. Well, a cruise ship quarantined off california is now set to dock. In oakland, california monday, there are at least 21 infected people on the ground princess out of more than 3500 on board. The staff will still be quarantined and treated on the ship, but we are told the cruise line says others will be able to lead after Health Screenings. California residents will go to a federal site in that state for isolation. Others will be taken to different facilities in other estates. Joining me now is gina, a passenger on the grand princess cruise ship off the coast of california, gina, first up, we hear that you have gotten information from the captain that things are changing. What you can tell us . Yes, just a few minutes ago, we received an announcement from the captain that we will be going to the port of oakland tomorrow afternoon. He anticipates our arrival in the afternoon. Were from san francisco, so were not having to go that far. He says disembarkation will take a few days, if they need to be hospitalized, they will be sent to Healthcare Facilities in camp. California with medical needs will be transported to federally operated isolation quality for testing and isolation. All the rest of the United States residents will be transimportanted by u. S. Federal government to other facilities in other states. Then he also said they have not worked out until about what will happen with the international guests. Well, you must be so relieved you and your husband when you heard that announcement . Yes. He also says that, you know, one of our big concerns is because my husband is diabetic and his medication runs out and they all said they will be redistributing prescription meth effective urgent need within the next 24 hours. Earlier on our air, an emergency room doctor said that this cruise ship should be treated like what we sa you in japan, that the United States has resources, that you shouldnt be treated like sitting ducks. So it looks like that the u. S. , you know, got a plan in place and that you get to get off. However, the captain did tell you that it would take several days. So, will you be tested . Have you been tested . What can you tell us about that process . We have not been tested. Theyve only tested 40some odd people. I think the people that they should be exposed to the virus. So none of the rest of the passengers have been tested and so from what that is we will be taken to some facility and tested. What we dont know is we test negative if we will still be quarantined or not. But were just not sure about. Im sure everyone loved hearing that announcement. I know that you have a job to go back to. As you said your husband is running out of medicine. How do you feel about the situation knowing that you will get off. I know you were kind of celebrating an anniversary, your wedding anniversary. So not exactly how you want it to turn out . Absolutely right. This is quite of an anniversary celebration. To be on the princess cruise ship 16 years ago when it was operating out of the caribbean. So, it was not exactly how we our ending. We wish you and your husband the best as you arrive if oakland. We hope to stay in touch with you so you can let us know how you are doing. Thank you so much for talking with us. We wish you the best. Thank you very much. Well the number of coronavirus cases has topped 440 in the United States with at least 19 deaths. That includes washington, new york and california. At least one attend each at last months at a conference tested positive. U. S. President trump spoke there. Its called cpac last week. He was asked friday if the virus would affect his rally plans . We have tremendous rallees. We are doing very well. We have done a fantastic job with respect to that subject on the requires and weve had tremendous cooperation with other countries and all over the world and weve made it very, very tough, very strong. Very stringent quarters. [ inaudible question ] no, im not concerned at all. Weve done a great job. A doctor is joining us now, an Infectious Disease specialist at Australia National university. He joins me live. Thanks so much, doctor, for being with us. I want to start with President Trump there saying that he will not curtail his rallies, that hes not worried about it. But he has had some made some misstatements along with other members of his administration about the impact of the coronavirus in the United States. How important is it that the leadership at the top communicate effectively with the citizens, many who are scared and who are confused about what to do . Hi, thank you for having me. Look, i think it is really important for the public and the government to have a really Good Relationship at this time. Particularly because there is so much misinformation out there on the internet and social media, so its really important to have good information coming from the government and the government, of course, youve got the cdc, write is one of the leading Public Health organizations in the world, so i think americans should really look to their government to help them and it is so important that the government does provide Accurate Information and while trying not to make people panic, you give that information even if it is a bit concerning. Absolutely. Well, lets talk about that cruise ship. I was just talking with someone there. Positive news there for the people with have been stuck on yet another cruise ship. Does it sound to you like the United States is getting a reasonable plan . What would you expect these folks will go through now once they do get to dock in oakland . So, yeah, look, cruise ships have been a real curve ball with this outbreak from these last ten weeks apart from the one thats off oakland. There is one in the nile, where about a quarter or a third of people have tested positive, so, hopefully now, given the experience with the diamond princess, the authorities will be able to have a more consistent approach and again as you mentioned before the previous question, keeping people, the passenger, their relatives updated about what is going on, whether that means self isolation for a period of time or monoisolation, at least we are Getting Better with cruise ship outbreaks with this virus. Now to italy. Its 9 00 in the morning there. People are waking up to hear there is a lockdown on a huge region when nay have had so many cases, its impacting the entire country of italy now. How important is this step to try and stop the spread . I think its very important, natalie. Again, we are learning from what has been done before in these last ten weeks. We saw the big lockdown in china in wuhan and hubei province. They have a lot of cases for a country of 60 million so i think this is a reasonable approach to take. Now it may not stop the outbreak, but it might slow it down. When you slow it down, that means it might drag on for longer but you have a smaller peak. When you have a smaller peak, that means that your Health Services and government infrastructure is more likely to be able to deal with it. Yeah. Back here in the United States, there still seems to be a lag if getting test kits. So its kind of cop fusing that confusing that if someone were to go to their the would they be able to get tested and go to the emergency room and, you know, if they feel like they are sick, stay home for now. Its still very confusing to people. And the issue is, being able to get those test kits and get them in a reasonable time frame. Right, natalie. So its very important to have testing done because the quicker you can do testing, the quicker you can identify someone with the infection. You can isolate them, treat them and stop further infections from occurring. If people are concerned, i think its really important that they call ahead to their local provider or general practitioner or call their Emergency Department or hot lines available for coronavirus in the United States and just ask, hey, i think ive got this infection. What should i do . And thats a very good starting point. Absolutely. Meantime, china is saying that its strict containment measures, which including a lockdown on 60 Million People have curtailed the spread. If true, how will we know if it sticks . If containment is sustainable . Only time will tell, natalie. Look, certainly they have done an extraordinary job of having a couple of weeks ago, two andahalf to 3,000 new cases every day, down to about 100 cases every day and whereas the rest of the world is having 3 thousand new cases a day. So it has certainly curtailed the outbreak. Will it stop it . I dont know. Balls people have returned to work in beijing and shanghai and 300 million rural minded workers return to the big city, so there is always the chance that a second wave could occur. But again, if we can slow the outbreak, it gives time for everyone to muster their resources and get ready for a second wave. We so appreciate your time and your expertise. Every time we get to hear from people like you, it helps people breathe a little bit easier. Dr. Sanjay, thanks, so much for being with us. Thank you, natalie. It was a pleasure. We turn to politics next. Americans and six states head to the polls this tuesday. The two top president ial Democratic Candidates vying for their votes using two very different messages. Well share them with you next. Want to brain better . Unlike ordinary memory supplements 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. Welcome back. The top two democratic nominations are pushing their messages hard ahead of crucial votes this tuesday. Former Vice President joe biden calling the democrats to unite behind him, while senator Bernie Sanders is stressing what makes the two very different. Cnn Political Correspondent abby philips is on the road in chicago. Reporter the pressure is on for senator Bernie Sanders to wage a comeback after a disappointing finish in the super tuesday states. It starts here in chicago, illinois, where he rallied about 15,000 supporters, according to his campaign. A massive rally here in gwyneth park where he sharpened his attacks against joe biden. Joe biden and i are friends, i have known him for mr. Years, but we have different records. We have a different vision. The American People will hear about it. Where george w. Bush and dig cheney told us we had to win back iraq, one of us voted for that war, that was joe biden. Reporter and sanders western on to criticize joe biden over his past votes on trade, on the iraq war and on abortion. It is just the latest side of escalating tensions between these two campaigns. We have seen joe biden criticizing sanders over the rhetoric coming from his supporters. The Sanders Campaign saying that is a small issue compared to big issues in this race, healthcare and trade, now for Bernie Sanders on tuesday, the big test is going to be what happens in michigan. That is where he is going to be spending a lot of time over the next several days. Four years ago, he narrowly beat Hillary Clinton in the state of michigan. Totally changing the narrative of that race. It is also where he hopes to mount a comeback in this race against joe biden. Abephilips, cnn, chicago. All right. Well, joe biden is ramping up his public image. He lost his biggest ad buy so far to the tune of 12 million. One add responds to sanders criticism saying going negative only helps President Trump. Its been a theme for biden over the weekend. This is not an election just nor the soul of the democratic party. Its about for americas soul. Its at this perilous moment when it means united america, not sowing more division and anger, not only fighting but healing the country. I have been saying that for the last five months. Finally people are coming around. Will they continue to come around to biden or go with bernie . Lets talk about it with james davis, the director of the institute of political science. He joins me from munich germany, i have why skype. We appreciate you coming on. James, good to see you. First up, the state of michigan, thats where Bernie Sanders is heading next. It seems to be ground zero. He has to take the state. Can he do it . Well, thats the big question. The polls before super tuesday were showing that the Vice President was in the lead. It was a moderate lead. It wasnt a modest lead. It wasnt a very big lead. You have to think that after the momentum the consolidation of the moderate or slightly progressive win behind the Vice President , i have to think his poll number versus gone up. Hes benefitted from a number of high profile endorsements. Hes got the endorsement of both of the major newspapers in detroit, the free press in the news. So i have to think the Vice President is going into this election with a lot of wind in its sail and Bernie Sanders is really going to have to pull that rabbit out of the hat. Right. And sanders tactic right now the to attack joe bidens record from the past. How do you think thats resonateing . Well, look, they have different records. The Vice President has been clearly in the main stream of the democratic party. Hes also, you know, traditionally been able appeal to kind of blue collar slightly conservative democrats and those are not the people that have traditionally been behind Bernie Sanders. So its a fair, its a fair tactic to point to the areas where the two of them are different. My guess is, however, the majority of the democratic voters are more on the side of biden on these issues than they are on the side of Bernie Sanders. So it will be interesting. I this i the most important thing, though, is that Bernie Sanders realizes or comes to realize that over the long hall, its not going to help him to alienate biden voters and to really rev up his own voters in such a way that they wouldnt cross over to biden in the event that biden should get the nomination. Because whoever gets this nomination is going to need everybody on their side, so going negative really doesnt help. All right. Well, lets talk about the democratic makeup of michigan. Interesting mix of citizens there. You have working class whites, a large muslim population, africanamerican communities and collegeage voters, too. What message does mr. Sanders need to send to that mix of the population. Well, i mean, thats whats interesting here. Bernie sanders has done a fairly good job of mobilizing young voters. Hes got quite a bit the hispanic community. But he hasnt done a very good job with the africanamerican community. He pulls fairly well with labor. But one of the interesting things about michigan is that traditional labor crossed over to trump in the last election. Sho were interesting to see exactly how big labor, traditional labor, the auto industry, some of the other Large Industries how they play out. Thats one of the things i would be looking for. If he cant pull that off, then i would suggest he really doesnt have a way forward. Well, meantime, lets talk about donald trump. His administration is getting criticized for misinformation about the coronavirus. Do you see this Health Crisis and the administrations handling of it perhaps impacting his reelection bid . How might that play for 2020 . Well, first of all, you know we just dont know where this crisis is going. And if the administration doesnt get its act together, i think people will come to the conclusion that they really botched this it seems to me that is an easy target for the democrats f. They can weave this story this incompetence of the administration thus far with a larger story about the failures of the American Health system and our failure to invest in a national Health System that delivers quality healthcare to every american. If they can pull that off, ut that narrative together, i think it will be a very potent force in the election. Well see going forward, james davis, we always appreciate your insight. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, natalie. Well, a hotel to quarantine coronavirus patients collapses without warning into a heap of broken concrete and twisted field, dozens are safe.

Country wide, restrictions on theater, nightclub, sports and religious will take place. The number has surged to nearly 6,000 with more than 230 deaths. A cruise ship quarantined for the virus is set now to dock in california monday. At least 21 people on the grand princess are infected. The cruise line says the crew will remain on the ship for treatment and passengers will be able to leave. It will take a few days for that to happen. They will undergo Health Screenings and taken to a health facility. Emergency crews in china are raising to find dozens of people missing in the rubble of a collapsed hotel. At least seven people were killed. Compounding the search and rescue, the building was being used to quarantine victims of the coronavirus. Going through the remnants requires full protective gear. You can imagine how complicated and dangerous that is for the rescue teams. Cnn is joined from beijing with the latest on this, steven, what are you hearing . Reporter well, natalie, we have just learned from local officials at a press conference that at the time of the collapse 58 people were under quarantine in that hotel. But all of them had tested negative for the coronavirus. A bit of reassuring information from that press conference. But still rescuer, as you said, are not taking any chances, thats why you see them wearing masks, goggles in some cases fullout protective suits. They are racing against time to find more survivors. Lets see whats happening at the scene of the collapse. A baby is pulled from the rubble after a hole in china collapsed on saturday. Firefighters dig through concrete and steel trying to find ought survivors. At one point Authorities Say at least 70 people were trapped in the debris. Its a double blow for those inside the building. A structure in the city being used as a Quarantine Center for people exposed to the Novel Coronavirus. More than 800 rescue workers were on the scene, sometimes using their bare hands. At other times using sawing to rescue dozens of people who were taken to nearby ambulances. Witnesses say they heard a loud noise before the collapse and then saw glass and dust fill the air. Officials say they dont know yet what caused the structure to collapse. Its at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in china where more than 3,000 people have died from the virus. Well, natalie, this search and rescue effort is very much ongoing as rescuers disinfect the site as they continue their effort there. But the authorities have also said they were investigating the cause of the collapse. Now, they say the owner of the building is now in police custody, because they believe renovation work was taking place on the first floor of the building when the building collapsed. We believe the buildings owner got a call shortly before the collapse telling them a pim lar had become twisted and a few minutes later this building collapsed trapping 71 people under the rubble. Natalie. I mean this tragedy is just surreal when you think of this was a Building Full of people that were quarantined. Its unbelievable. Well stay in close contact with you. Thanks, steven. Well, in the state of new york, Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency because of the coronavirus. That is so he can expedite the purchasing of testing supplies and shore up testing protocols. And he plans to hire more staff for local health departments. Cnn correspondent paolo sandeval has this on this state of new york. Reporter another significant increase in the number of coronavirus cases confirmed to new york state, Governor Andrew Cuomo announcing that number stands at 76 and many of them here in new york city where the vast majority of them north of the city in west chester county, where officials are confirming 57 now. You should point out that a majority of those have been tied to a specific cluster that has to do with a 50yearold attorney that came down with that virus. At least confirmed to have that virus, earlier this week. So authorities certainly testing those who have come in contact with them. Meanwhile, authorities in new york also shifting their focus or a part of their focus to price gouging. According to governor, theyve received multiple reports of various businesses, significantly increasing the price for various cleaning product, Hand Sanitizer and sanitizing wipes to governor warning those businesses, that they will be investigated and could face potential consequences. We have reports of Stores Selling Hand Sanitizer for 80 a bottle. It is not worth it to the store owner. You can lose your license and we are very serious about this. For the few dollars that you are going to make during this situation, its not worth your while. Reporter that emergency declaration, what it does, it essentially expedites the hiring of health professionals, also makes for the quicker purchasing of supplies that are also needed as well as testing. This as authorities try to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Cnn, new york.

They are seeking help from the government. Even tonight, the white house has confirmed it is considering giving assistance to the industry. Richard quest, cnn, new york. Of course, another big part of this story, face masks. People around the world have been scrambling to find medical face masks to use as the Coronavirus Spreads, but, according to experts as we have been reporting, not all masks are created equal. According to u. S. Federal drug administration, surge challenge face masks are highly effective against large airborne droplets and particles but do not filter or block very small particles in the air. Some Health Experts and mask bakers say the n95 respirator mask can help guard against the coronavirus. It means it blocks at least 95 of very small particles. However, it must be properly used and is not designed for children or those with facial hair. Coming up here, we have another story for you.

If you have to be outside tonight, i was bragging to derek i got a picture of it earlier. I didnt know it was a super moon. It officially occurs late sunday into monday. We have three opportunities to see super moons or three months of it. Heres the first one. Again it occurs tonight into monday. The next one occurs in the month of april on the 8th and then on the 7th of may, there is the third of three super moons that are going to occur. This particular super moon is called the super moon because it coincides with the time of the year when earth worms start to come out of the soil, because of course it is the end of winter and things are starting to melt across the northern hemisphere. The super moon occurs when the full moon coincide with the closest elliptical around the earth. That allows for that kind of enlarged view of a full moon so we look for the super moons to give a broader perspective of what the actual moon looks like because of its proximity to the actual planet and visibility is looking good over the eastern twothirds of the country. Speaking of the light of the moon, i visited a special place over the western u. S. Where the full moon came into play, but let me just tell you, clothing was optional after dark. Will you see why.
