milestone with more than 2,000 deaths in a single day on friday. the total number of deaths is now over 19,000 with more than 506,000 confirmed cases. we have a team of correspondents standing bay for you to bring you the latest developments in this coronavirus pandemic. let's start in new york where the mayor and governor seem to be at odds over the question of closing schools in the city for the rest of the school year. cnn's evan mcmorris santoro is there for us. what are both leaders saying? >> reporter: fred, it's been a saturday of kind of sad, is hopeful, and strange news. the sad news, 783 deaths. another horrible, tough number for new york. following that the hopeful news the governor is saying that is actually part of maybe a plateau that shows that maybe this is the peak we've all been waiting for may be upon us and then the strange news, which is that if you're sitting in new york today you had two back-to-back press conferences the first from the mayor of new york being very adamant that schools are going to close or i'm sorry were going to remain closed to the end of the year followed by a conference with the governor that said something very different. >> everything we're doing is to protect our children, our families, to help end the pain and trauma. we've all been through so much but we have to work constantly to make sure this ends. >> the mayor has an opinion in new york city. the county executive of nassau will have an opinion on nassau. steve will have an opinion in suffolk. george latimer will have an opinion in westchester but i want to coordinate all those opinions and reopen them at the same time. i'd also lake to ideally coordinate that with connecticut and new jersey. >> so, basically the deal is this. the governor of new york says that he can open the schools, he'll decide when to do it. he'll decide if they stay closed. the mayor of new york says they should stay closed. the mayor of new york city says the schools should stay closed the rest of the year through summer school, talking about preparing for the next school year, the future of the schools, but the governor saying, actually, not too fast, there, mayor de blasio, i am the one who makes the call on school openings or closings. >> evan is learning about the impact of the first responders. >> reporter: that's right. we've got news today from the fire department that more than 700 members of the fire department have been diagnosed with covid-19, just another blow for the city's first responders. we've seen the police hit very hard by this disease. some coming back to work now. some have passed away from complications of the disease and now the fire department as well. the city is still trying to run with diminished capacity and so far have been able to do it but just another story on how hard this crisis has been on the people we rely on in this city to help us through crises. >> thank you so much. this just in to cnn. new jersey governor phil murphy is issuing an executive order expanding requirements including buses and lightrail, all riders now required to wear a face covering at all times. the governor is also directing the transit services to cut capacity of their vehicles in half to help with social distancing. the order goes into effect monday night 8:00 p.m. new jersey is second in the nation in the number of coronavirus cases with more than 58,000 confirmed to date. this just in to cnn, now learning that 550 sailors from the "u.s.s. theodore roosevelt" have tested positive for coronavirus. the navy says 92% of the sailors have been tested and more than 3,000 moved ashore. the spike in cases comes shortly after captain brett crozier was removed from his command for sounding the alarm about the spread of the virus onboard the aircraft carrier. it also comes just days after a sailor who tested positive was found unresponsive and was admitted into intensive care. people in michigan are now largely banned from traveling twaen hom between homes as the state reports the third highest number of coronavirus cases in the nation. cnn's ryan young joins me from detroit. how is that news being received in. >> reporter: fred, this is the first day of it. they'll try to see if they can flatten the curve here. obviously numbers were still going up in this area. hospitals have been dealing with more patients than they can handle and we do know that some hospital staff has also tested positive for the coronavirus. one thing to point out, right behind us is the tcf center with 970 beds. they put it online yesterday, the first 25 patients. we're told more patients will be coming in the next few days. we want to show you some of the grim things we've seen as well. these are the refrigerator trucks at the medical examiner's office. they are worried about running out of space. hospitals, funeral homes, and the medical examiner's office have all had to add body space because of the number of people dying. from thursday to friday we know 205 people died in the state. that was the deadliest day so far from covid-19. and taking it a step further we've noticed 40% of african-americans have been dying from this virus in this state. in fact, some people think it might be higher because the data wasn't as accurate as they thought it would be. there is a racial task force put together. the lieutenant governor will have the first virtual meeting this after nan. we talked to a health care expert who told us this about the issues here in the state. >> it's not shocking to those of us that have been doing research in this area and have studied it because we know these disparities exist, they're persistent, they're profound, and they have existed for a long time. it's just that covid now has actually shined a brightlate on it now and exposed the disparities we see each and every day particularly affecting people of color. >> reporter: absolutely. you can tell the state is now trying to make a shift to get the word out to some other communities. one thing we did notice before is they felt like if they got out there with people who may be a little older, they would be able to sort of shut this down in terms of the spread. i do know the city of detroit is going to take some of the fast testing that they got from abbott labs. they're going to go to nursing homes throughout the city. there are 27 they've selected so far to go in, do more testing, see if they can figure out who is in need, which seems like a great idea. fred? >> all right. ryan young, thank you so much, in detroit. tlae so in the midst of this pandemic half of the country's farm workers who are undocumented immigrants face uncertainty and many of them don't have health insurance or even receive sick leave. we'll go to los angeles. paul, what are you learning about this vulnerable population? >> reporter: all week long, fredricka, the mayor of los angeles saying that los angeles should not forget its huge immigrant community. these are uncertain and tough times for immigrants in this city. irma and miguel undocumented immigrants from guatemala with three children drove to a free cookout for the los angeles dodgers to ease family's burdens in the covid-19 era. >> they are closing all the businesses and these are jobs that we need. >> reporter: the couple's cleaning work vanished with countless other jobs in l.a. county. it has more than 900,000 undocumented residents according to recent estimates. >> many times they don't qual fay for a lot of the federal protections being issued right now. >> reporter: isaac coives battles for immigrant rights. so many are latino immigrants praying for help. >> with our help and social services and social justice we're paurk to make sure that they don't get evicted, that they have food on the table and that spiritually they're sound. >> reporter: he said the church mediated with landlords regarding immigrants who cannot pay due to coronavirus circumstances. advocates say many won't speak up because they believe it will raise red flags that lead to deportation or if they have green card legal resident status they fear their citizenship application will be stalled. l.a. offers many programs available to undocumented and legal immigrants including my health l.a. or l.a. care if they qualify. it's the largest publicly operated health plan in the u.s. the ceo encourages immigrants to apply and fill out their census forms because he believes that will help them when l.a.x. hits the pandemic recession. >> they'll be eligible for medicaid and we need to know how many there are because it will determine how much funding flows to any state whether it's california or somewhere else in the country. >> reporter: no health care, no jobs, but irma and miguel found food. >> we are very grateful. >> reporter: dodger dogs and snacks, a virtual faeft during a a -- feast during a pandemic. this weekend we would see a lot of these immigrants in the churches but even the downtown cathedral will be closed. mass will be conducted online for all the click-on and see. back to you now. >> thank you so much. coming up the fight over funding for small businesses is deepening after republicans doubled down. democratic congressman jeffries responds live. plus, cnn viewers and readers from around the world have asked more than 90,000 questions about coronavirus and asked it on cnn.com. in about 20 minutes a panel of experts will join mae e to answ some of those questions. go to cnn.com to submit your questions on health, family life, and your money. that is at 2:30 eastern here on cnn. republicans are doubling down on funding small businesses amid a growing fight over a new stimulus package. this is coming after democrats blocked a gop plan to add an additional $251 billion to the loan program, instead demanding more money for states and hospitals. cnn's sarah westwood is joining us right now. sarah, what is the status of this battle over the latest emergency relief bill? >> reporter: well, fred, right now this is a complete stalemate. republicans this morning were doubling down on their position that they want a clean influx of cash for the paycheck protection program. that is a program established under the phase 3 stimulus bill that offers emergency loans for small businesses just to keep their workers on the payrolls to keep having people receive their paychecks. all they want is $250 billion. a little bit more than that flushed back into that program to keep it afloat. democrats want to take this opportunity to give more money to struggling states, struggling hospitals that are struggling with the coronavirus outbreak right now but republicans are arguing this is a time sensitive issue. they say that sometime by the end of next week the paycheck protection program could run out of money. that could cause companies to have to start laying off workers as soon as next week if they don't get these emergency loans democrats are saying this is not moving on such a quick timeline. there is time to negotiate. now, the twist is that yesterday treasury secretary mnuchin spoke on the phone to house speaker nancy pelosi, spoke to senate minority leader chuck schumer and both indicated that there could be room for some bipartisan talks. in fact, schumer suggested mnuchin actually agrade to bipartisan talks but i spoke to a number of white house officials who say that is not an option. they don't want to deal with anything that could potentially go into a phase four stimulus bill but just want to focus on more money for the paycheck protection program. >> when can americans expect the stimulus checks to start arriving in their bank accounts and maybe even mail boxes? >> reporter: right now the irs says some people could start seeing the checks as soon as next week, people who filed their 2018, 2019 tax returns, and have authorized direct deposit. they could see their money in just a few days in keeping with what mnuchin said earlier this month. people who haven't filed their tax returns, haven't been receiving social security, and have not authorized the direct deposit, they could have to wait weeks or even months to see their checks. also on friday the irs launched a tool for people, lower income folks who may not have had to file a return to input some basic information to the irs and maybe speed up the process for them. >> thank you so much. congressman hakeem jeffries is a democratic representative from new york and member of the house judiciary and budget committees. good to see you. so you're part of the democratic leadership crafting the next house stimulus bill. why are democrats opposed to increasing the funding for small businesses instead focusing on more money for states and hospitals? >> well, we're not opposed to increasing support for small businesses. quite the contrary. what we've said is that we agree that $250 billion will be necessary in increased authorization for the paycheck protection program but we need to target that assistance to the businesses that need it the most. for instance, we want to target the assistance to farms, small farmers, to women owned businesses, to family owned businesses, the mom and pop shops on main street that are so important to the heart and soul of our economy. to veterans owned businesses and to minority owned businesses. this group of entities doesn't have the same access to financial institutions as some of the medium sized companies that are also benefiting from the paycheck protection program. what we're saying is at least $125 billion, half of the $250 billion, should be set aside to make sure our farmers and our veterans and our mom-and-pop shops can benefit from the assistance that was authorized. >> so what is the obstacle? what are you hearing? why the resistance on that? >> that is a good question. essentially mitch mcconnell has taken a my way or the highway approach. this is totally illegitimate in the context of a congress that includes not just the senate republican majority leader. there are a hundred members of the senate. he has asked for unanimous consent. he hasn't gotten it. there is also a separate part of the congressional branch of government, the house, which the american people indicated by putting speaker pelosi back in the chair, should be standing up for values for every day americans. that is essentially what we're doing. we also have said if we are going to enact an emergency package we need to provide relief to state and local governments that have been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic and also set aside funding for first responders in the hospital context because we know they have been overwhelmed by this pandemic as well. >> so what is the timeline on this? what do you think is going to be reasonable when you look at the calendar? >> well, we have divided governments, so in the divided government context we need to find common ground. that is what senator schumer and speaker pelosi and others have said we've endeavored to do. mitch mcconnell has adopted the my way or the highway approach. hopefully he'll come off that and realize this is a democracy not a dictatorship. i think we can get an agreement over the next few days and certainly that is what should happen on behalf of the american people but if we are going to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer assistance we have to make sure it gets to the people who actually need it the most. >> let's talk about these irs checks that could start going out as early as next week into people's bank accounts, part of the $2 trillion stimulus package. how much of a difference do you think that will make for families, individuals? >> well, i think it is incredibly important as a first step and we need to make sure that the treasury secretary and the irs can get this money out sooner rather than later. we were promised that it will begin to go out as early as next week to perhaps as many as 60 million americans that would still leave behind tens of millions of americans as well who are suffering and so we are urging people if you do not traditionally file electronically with the irs and don't have an authorized direct deposit account to go to the irs website and to utilize that tool, input your information, so you can get the $1200 check as soon as possible. it seems to me we have to consider doing more because the pandemic is not going to go away at the end of this month. the financial harm is not going to go away the end of this month. as long as it continues congress is going to have to step up to provide assistance to displaced workers, to the poor, the sick, the afflicted, to working families, to senior citizens. that's what we should do. that's the right thing to do on behalf of the american people. >> a lot of people are already way behind the $1200 they might expect to get in the form of those checks or deposits. let's talk about your district. it is at the epicenter of this crisis. what are people telling you about how they're coping and what else is needed? >> we have certainly been hit hard through central brooklyn and throughout new york city. we are a resilient city. 9/11 couldn't knock us down. the great recession couldn't knock us down. superstorm sandy couldn't knock us down though some have observed this particular pandemic the health combined with the economic crisis is almost like all three rolled up into one moment. it has been tough. but new yorkers are tough as well. and we've banded together. we want to make sure that our essential workers, health care workers, transit workers, postal employees, our grocery store clerks, first responders, have the personal protective equipment necessary to continue to go out and do the phenomenal job they've been doing. that has been a focus of many of us on the ground at this moment. >> all the best, congressman hakeem jeffries stay well and that to your constituents as well. >> thank you. happy easter. >> happy easter. this just in to cnn. we're told the pentagon is using the defense production act for the first time in this fight against coronavirus to produce more than 39 million critical n95 masks over the course of 90 days. already the defense department has pledged 10 million of such masks from its own stockpiles to contribute against the pandemic. all right. coming up, you have questions on the coronavirus. we have answers. after the break. a panel of experts will join me live. it's not too late to add your questions to the mix. go to cnn.com to submit one right now. but first, here is some good news. actor and producer tyler perry is paying it forward in a very big way to help seniors and other people at higher risk for contracting coronavirus. on wednesday he paid the grocery bills of everyone shopping during the high risk hours at dozens of winn dixie stores in his home state of louisiana and kroger stores in atlanta where he now lives. the shoppers were stunned at checkout when they were told that perry had picked up the tab. thousands of shoppers received perry's random act of kindness. welcome back. from a soaring death toll to new headlines about testing and treatment it was another pretty busy week of coronavirus news. so as part of our mission to separate fact from fiction we're dedicating the next 30 minutes to answering your questions. questions you posted on our website. joining me right now back by popular demand my guests. suze orman host of the women in money podcast and author of "the ultimate retirement guide for 50 plus." thank you for being with us again. so first let me talk about a host of medical questions we're getting. dr. long, we are going to get to a lot this half hour but let's start with some right now. first question? why are younger people dying from the virus while some older people are not? >> fredricka, we are seeing patterns in this disease that strikes older and younger people but there are some risk factors that can put somebody who is younger at higher risk. one is genetics. there is some genetic component that increases your risk of being severely ill. there are also general risk factors. we say in the hospital i may take care of someone who we say is a young 70-year-old. their health is good. they're otherwise fit. they may have the health of someone who is much younger. we also on the flip side may see someone who is an old 30-year-old who is putting their body through wear and tear. we know other things, uncontrolled asthma, obesity, poorly controlled diabetes and other chronic health conditions all can worsen your chance regardless of what age you are. >> rene from maryland wants to know this about testing. she asks how accurate are the coronavirus tests and how common are false negatives? >> so this is a great question from renee. she is talking probably about the pcr test, which tests if you are acutely infected with the virus, separate from the antibody test which i know we'll be talking about later. the fda and cdc are not releasing the exact accuracy of these tests. we think there is probably about a 20% to 30% miss rate meaning you could get a negative test and still have it. i as an e.r. doctor and many of my colleagues are seeing the same thing when it comes to our patients. >> christina from hawaii wants to know, are all soaps created equal, which is the best one to use? >> kristina, great, great question. i've been getting this a lot. i get this from my patients and my friends and family. i get this on my instagram account where i am answering questions. i'm happy to answer people's questions afterwards there as well. just like trying to separate out fact versus fiction. it looks like when you're using soaps that probably an antibacterial may be a little more helpful than say a generic moisturizing soap but just as important as what you use is the duration. we say in medicine the solution to pollution is dilution meaning you have to have that time of the soap on your hands to really disrupt the virus and wash it off. the 20 seconds is really important. >> just sing "happy birthday" right? >> yes. get the good lather in there. >> here is another question for you. i've heard there is potential coronavirus could return this fall or winter. is this something we're going to see every year like the flu? >> there are two parts to this question. it is important the audience knows the whole point of doing this lockdown, social distancing, flattening the curve that everyone talks about was not eradicating or erasing the curve. we are not eradicating this illness. after we release the lockdown it is likely we continue to see some waves of the illness. the whole point of the lockdown was to keep those waves underneath what our hospitals could handle. whether that is coming back and continuing through the summer or this fall or continuing until we have enough immunity and the vaccine, that will likely continue. this virus will continue to be in our community. the point of the lockdown in the social isolation was as it continues and if it comes back we will have the testing. we'll have the hospital capacity. we'll be better able to manage it as time goes on since this will likely be ongoing. >> wow. dr. fauci, you know, has stated that the antibody test will be available soon. is it recommended that every american take the test so that we can figure out who has the antibodies, who doesn't? >> so, in an ideal world, yes. let's let everybody take the test. and some interesting data from iceland where they have been testing widely. they found that up to half, 50% of the people who have the infection, are asymptomatic. it would be great to know as much as we can because what does that antibody test tell us? it tells us someone has been exposed, that they may have immunity, and even more important for the immediate, which is what is on everyone's mind is about releasing this lockdown because those people who may have been exposed and may have immunity can possibly more safely go back to work more quickly in a really phased, strategic way. >> all right. stay with me. we've got many more questions that really zero in on life at home, your finances, don't go anywhere. we'll be right back. her congest. save it, slimeball. i've upgraded to mucinex. we still have 12 hours to australia. mucinex lasts 12 hours, so i'm good. now move- kim nooooo!! mucinex has a patented tablet that lasts 3x longer, for 12 hours. [ chuckles ] so, what are some key takeaways from this commercial? did any of you hear the "bundle your home and auto" part? -i like that, just not when it comes out of her mouth. -yeah, as a mother, i wouldn't want my kids to see that. -good mom. -to see -- wait. i'm sorry. what? -don't kids see enough violence as it is? -i've seen violence. -maybe we turn the word "bundle" into a character, like mr. bundles. -top o' the bundle to you. [ laughter ] bundle, bundle, bundle. -my kids would love that. -yeah. bundle, bundle, bundle. no no no no no, there's no space there! maybe over here? hot! hot! oven mitts! oven mitts! everything's stuck in the drawers! i'm sorry! oh, jeez. hi. kelly clarkson. try wayfair! oh, ok. it's going to help you, with all of... this! yeah, here you go. thank you! oh, i like that one! [ laugh ] that's a lot of storage! perfect. you're welcome! i love it. how did you do all this? wayfair! speaking of dinner, what're we eating, guys? welcome back. we have your questions and i'm joined again by dr. darria long and money expert suze orman and they are here to answer all of your coronavirus questions. jeff, here is a question for you. a viewer asks how can i stay spiritually connected when i am unable to attend easter services this weekend? >> well, the lord says i have many homes and one of those homes may be the one that you're actually living in right now. so it's important to know that if you can't go to church or your house of worship, you can have it where you live. it's important to be able to open up that holy book every single day, to med taitate, to prayers. one of the things a lot of people are doing because they can't get to their house of worship is start prayer circles that they've been doing online and certainly on their cell phones. >> all right. suze, a viewer wants to know, how has coronavirus affected the housing market? is it still a good time to buy, sell a home? >> i have to tell you for the housing market to go up means people have to be able to afford to buy a home and i'm not sure that is going to be able to happen. so i don't think the housing market is going to go up. i probably would not be buying a home right here. if i had to, though, i would be selling a home if i needed to sell it but i wouldn't be buying at this point. >> okay. dr. long, wess asks could covid-19 spread from second-hand vaping and how quickly will it get into your lungs? >> so this is a question from wes about vaping and can it increase the risk of spreading it to others? it is important to answer that and also your own risk as someone vaping. if you are vaping, increased coughing and maybe deeper breathing you may be more likely to spread covid to other people but what we also have to emphasize is studies are showing that people who vape, smoke, smoke cannabis, any type of smoking are at higher risk of developing potentially more severe covid and more complications from covid. >> because of the respiratory i guess requirements in vaping. >> it decreases your immune system and hurts your lungs. >> how do you explain the value and importance of education to a younger student when his or her older sibling just got a free pass to advance to the next grade? >> well, i think the best way to explain it to that child is no one has gotten a free pass during what's been happening in these extraordinary times. what we've been able to do is switch out education to go online. some students have gotten pass/fail instead of grades because we understand as teachers and administrators that everyone has been affected by this. so the lesson for that child is not that someone got over. it's that we all banded together in order to support that student and we would do the same thing for them. this is what community we are now finally learning is really all about. >> and, suze, danielle asks this. what do i do if i cannot reach my state unemployment office? >> danielle, if there was ever a time for you to be persistent, now is the time. you know, unemployment was used to taking maybe 200,000 applications a week. not 6 million. so you're going to have to be persistent. many unemployment offices are actually setting up little areas like at fedex and places you can go and do it right there but if i were you i would be calling at off hours. 8:00 in the morning. 3:00 in the morning. whatever you can do. but you have to keep trying. over and over and over again until you get through. >> and then here is another one for you, suze. i have maxed out my credit cards and been told to get a payday loan. what is the catch? >> yeah, there is a big catch. with a payday loan the way they're structured, please know, everybody, not only are they at about 300% interest, but you cannot discharge them in bankruptcy the way they are structured. so the last resort, in fact, never, you should never, ever, ever under any circumstances, i don't care what situation you're in, you should never get a payday loan. whoever gave you that advice, don't ever listen to them again. >> i've never even heard that before. is that like a third party? it's not something through your own employer is it? >> no. that is something, there are payday loans all over the place where you go and they say cash your check, do these things. you go in and it's like seriously at 300% interest. but they're renewed every 90 days, the contract, and that's why they're nondischargeable in bankruptcy. the worst thing you could ever do in your life. >> sounds never ending. all right. dr. long, jeff gaardere, suze orman, stick around. we have more questions right after this. but first, here is a story that's going to make everybody smile. a georgia bar owner was able to help her now unemployed staff by collecting the cash that was attached to the walls. jennifer knox owns the sand bar in taibbi island and customers leave their mark by writing on dollar bills and then staple them to the walls and ceiling. knox collected about $4,000, giving staff members $600 each. all right. welcome back. i'm joined again by dr. long, clinical psychologist, jeff gardere and money ex-petr suze orman here to answer all of your questions you've submitted to cnn.com. dr. long, if you are wiping down a large load of groceries, can you use one antibacterial wipe or does the wipe become contaminated at some point? >> so, maegan from georgia, that is may hometown. when you are using your wipes for groceries make sure most importantly to use a wipe approved by the epa to be active against coronavirus. that is most important. once you are wiping it down, as long as the wipe is still moist and not torn and still able to apply fluid to the container you are fine. once it starts to dry replace it for a new one to make sure the groceries are clean. the virus can remain viable on cardboard for about 24 hours. plastics for up to 72 hours which is why you want to wipe some of them down. >> may gosh. okay. just smear it around then. that wipe. >> all right. jeff, a question for you. how do i keep my children occupied while i'm working from home? that's everybody's dilemma right now isn't it? >> yes, including mine. you might see a couple kids run through the french doors. well, one of the things we do in my household and we think it is very important, now is the time for projects in the home. home improvements such as painting, getting kids to do puzzles, making sure they make their beds, tidying, straightening up things and of course following the schedules of homework we want to keep the habit of school going. all of those things keep them busy. but the other thing it does is it keeps them on a schedule and keeps the self-discipline and the time goes faster and they're still able to stay grounded and more mentally stable in that way. so keep them busy. >> and helping them know they've got purpose, too, right? they have to do less and they have to, you know, check it off. >> that's exactly what we found, fred. that now in this time of covid-19, we are now working as families and as societies as groups helping one another. we've gotten away from that for too long but we are back in it in the right way. >> some kids might find that useful and helpful, too. suze, people are looking for help in a lot of different directions particularly financially but this person asks what type of help is the federal government providing small businesses? >> they are actually doing a lot for small businesses in that they have designated $350 billion from the sba that if you have employees under 500, under 500 employees, go to your bank that you have a business relationship right now with. you can get a loan that will turn into a grant and it will be forgiven if you use that money to keep your employees with a paycheck protection program. so they're trying to do a lot for small businesses. you have to go after the loans though because they're being gobbled up right and left right now. >> here is another question. i'm afraid to go to work but haven't been laid off due to coronavirus. can i quit and collect unemployment? >> yes, you actually can, believe it or not. if you're just afraid. you don't want to go in. you are leaving your job. this isn't where you have to be fired or furloughed. this is whatever it will take. if you have to stay at home with the kids. if you're -- if you have to take care of somebody, that is good nauf reaso enough reason. you don't want to leave your house, you will get unemployment. >> dr. long, jeff from georgia asks, i am someone who has had the virus and am fully recovered. is it safe for mae now to visit my 84-year-old grandma?
