Florida, mississippi, new jersey, hitting their greatest number of oneday fatalities so far and Record Number of cases have been reported in North Carolina and iowa but those facts have not stopped or Public Officials in spots in our country from starting reopening, Christina Coleman covering with all of us but first Mark Meredith who is standing by in the north lawn in the white house with the latest on the president s plan. Mark afternoon, eric, the white house says hopes the country can be able to mend soon and although they had cases that would drop for 14 days we have seen governors decide to go ahead and reopen certain businesses but also hearing from dr. Deborah birx americans have personal responsibility in all of this. As States Reopen we really want them to file the gated criteria and also make sheer to the american, this is what you need to do to continue to protect yourself. You need to continue to social distance an you need to continue to practice scrupulous handwashing, you need to know what your hands where they have been and what they have touched. Mark President Trump has been talking about different state plans, you can see some the states that are there that will be lifting restrictions tomorrow. Some of them have started to do that earlier last week. Now the president himself is going to be hitting the road out to arizona later on this week. He said to visit on tuesday and this was the tweet he had when it came to maine. Many complaints coming in about maine. I love the state dont make the cure worse than the problem itself. That can happen, you know that came after the governor there worked on some Health Restrictions impacting restaurants but as i mentioned, eric, the president himself will be hitting the road this weekend and the white house to get the president out there on the road, eric. Eric yeah, up in maine former governor paula page, big trump supporter will challenge current democratic governor there. As some states start to reopen, what is it showing in terms of the economy and where we will know where things stand on that . Mark eric, the white house is bracing for bleak economic use. The jobs report for april is due at the end of this week and would give us an idea of what the unemployment rates will be. Some 16 to 19 , we are still hearing optimism from the white house when it comes to the economy with larry kudlow saying next year could be a record year. Its going to be very difficult in the months ahead. No question, having said that, i will note that the Congressional Budget Office and a bunch of private forecasters, wall street journal surveyors are looking for a very strong second half economic rebound and suggesting that 2021 next year could be one of the fasters growth rebounds in American History or recent history. Mark liely likely we will hear back from the president in a couple of hours in town hall. He will be back from camp david. Eric tonight the president will be sitting down with bret and martha, special fox news town hall, 7 00 p. M. Eastern right here in the Fox News Channel reporting on the latest on the coronavirus response, arthel. Arthel okay, eric, right now we will go to Christina Coleman in los angeles with the latest on states slowly restarting their economy, hi, christina. Christina just under half of the states in the u. S. Have started some type of reopening effort and they vary from allowing hospitals to get ready for elective surgeries again to reopening state parks, at least 24 states have announced ease on restrictions or the changes are soon to come including in alaska, oklahoma, georgia, arkansas and florida. Colorado will be embracing a safer at home approach which advises but does not require citizens to stay at home unless its necessary to leave their house. Colorados democratic governor say it is rollback will be slow. On april 17th, florida restored Public Access to beaches and in georgia, gyms, bowling alleys allowed to reopen as long as they followed distancing and strict hygiene guidelines. Mississippi reopening some with downward case on Fox News Sunday. Hes delaying on easing off restrictions for now. We have been between 200 and 300 cases without a spike. Our Hospital System is not stressed. We have less than 100 people in our stateowned ventilators. Sometimes the models are different from different states and different from various counties and we believe that that particular gating criteria just doesnt work in states like ours who have never had more than 300 cases in any one day. Christina in new jersey one of the hardest states for coronavirus, state and county parks opened this weekend. Here is new jersey democratic Governor Phil Murphy with more on the states progress and concerns over protesting restrictions. I dont begrudge their right to protest, my Biggest Issue is they were congregating without face masks. We decided to open state and county parks this weekend as you rightfully pointed out. I have to say yesterday the reports in compliance was very high in terms of social distancing and not congregating. Christina large protests to ease coronavirus restrictions or address certain economic consequences to have stay at home orders continued. Many michigan protestors rallied on what is excessive orders by the governor and here in california there were protests just over the past few days, one of them in los angeles on thursday where people gathered at city hall to call for rents cancellation, this on top of the states longrunning fight over Affordable Housing and others protested the closures of the beaches in orange county, so even though things are reopening slowly, apparently theres still a lot of discontent and economic concerns in addition to those who want to make sure theres more Testing Available to track and trace potential covid19 outbreaks as the States Reopen, arthel. Arthel Christina Coleman no longer in the beach, back in the news room, thank you. I think its important step for people of florida to know that theres a light at the end of the tunnel. We will follow a safe, smart step by step to floridas recovery and we will follow data and facts but intend moving forward to get the society on its feet again. Well, thats Florida Governor ron desantis this morning on sunday morning futures. He was laying out his plan to begin opening the Sunshine State tomorrow. Theres specific guidelines, parks will reopen, restaurants and stores need to limit occupancy to 25 , but you know as part of the governors plan Miamidade County where miami is and broward and Palm Beach County will still remain under tighter restrictions. One county that wont be is duval, home of Jacksonville Florida and jacksonvilles marry mayor joins us from there, mayor, what will happen when businesses reopen . Certain businesses will begin thank work. We are following President Trumps blueprint and working with Governor Desantis. Through the federal dollars we got from the Trump Administration we allocated significant amount of dollars to expand testing rapidly, so we are going to begin moving towards getting people back to work in a safe, smart way. Eric is testing and the fact that youre doing your own testing, is that really a key to reopening on who has the virus or contact tracing, where it spread . Testing has been the key through all of this. We were one of the first cities to get testing and we reached out to President Trump and Governor Desantis and got testing up early. We continued to expand it and we have large dollars budgeted to rapidly expanded to make sure if people have symptoms, if they dont have symptoms, we would be able to get them in and get tested including walkup testing so the whole community has access. Eric we just heard from Christina Coleman in los angeles about beaches there. Governor newsom had to retreat with order, you opened 2 weeks ago, do you think its going to be a problem in florida beaches . We opened up 2 weeks ago with restrictions, you cant sub bathe or have coolers or lay down. I was on a call with ron desantis task force to reopen a week ago. Some beaches considering opening the beaches modeling the way we did and people are behaving responsibly on our beaches. We still have restriction which is we will lift tomorrow and monday. So starting monday unlimited access in terms of hours in terms of beaches and worked out for us, people are behaving responsibly and getting out of the house and moving around. Eric you know, talk about getting out of the house and moving around, there are differences and this can be tailored to different counties. Let me show you so far your whole state, 12,632 cases, theyve been sadly 667 deaths. Thats 12,632 in miamidade, 367,000 deaths there. Take a look at the difference in counties, your county duval, youve had far less number of cases, youve had 23 deaths and some other counties, look at this, Lafayette County has had only 2 cases with no deaths, Franklin County no deaths, golf county one case and no deaths. Mayor, can this be a tailored made or tailored engineer program to open up slowly in those counties, those areas that have such slow numbers like you have in jacksonville compared to a metropolis like miami . Absolutely. I talked to Governor Desantis about that and we are talking to him about potentially move ago head. We had over 20 days of decline and percent of people test that test positive, so im proud of the people jacksonville and duval county, theyve acted responsibly and as we go thank work they will do it responsibly, people that can work from home, i believe will do that but we have to be mindful of peoples liberties. In time of crisis the constitution, it exists, it is our document, so we are going to suggest things to people knowing that our people will behave in a way that doesnt spread the virus. Eric and it is, of course, up to peoples behavior. This morning your former mayor bill de blasio issued a warning saying in japan they opened up too early and has to go back 26 days later with, with spike. Some states are rush to go restart and some are doing it without a lot of evidence and a lot of healthcare indicators to tell them whats really going on and im hoping and praying for them that doesnt backfire horribly on the people of those states. Eric he called it a boomerang, how do you prevent a possible spike or boomerang in jacksonville . You have to be smart and act responsibly. The virus doesnt spread itself, people spread it. Without a vaccine we will have to manage it. The lockdowns that started around the country was to slow the spread. If you talk to a physician, if i was a physician i would say the same thing. The safest thing is to stay home, but its not sustainable. Theres other health ramifications, economic ramifications so wife to get so we have to get back to work and do it in a way thats safe. The president has layed out phases to follow and we are following as blew print and our governor is moving methodically and our people are behaving responsibly. Eric hopefully they will continue to do that. Governor of jacksonville, florida, we thank you. Thank you. Eric reminder for you tonight the fox news town hall special with the president. Its called america together returning to work, live tonight at 7 00 p. M. Eastern, of course anchored by bret baier and Martha Macallum and if you have any questions about the economy in trying times and coronavirus, send video message, town hall at foxnews. Com up load it to our Facebook Page where you can go to instagram pages on fox news and the question could potentially be posed to the president tonight at 7 00 p. M. , really fascinating and cant wait for that, arthel. Arthel eric, thank you, from the mayor of jacksonville to the governor of new york where in the state there were 280 deaths related to covid19 just yesterday. So lets now dip into Andrew Cuomos daily coronavirus briefing. Once europe was having outbreaks really accelerated the rapid spread. The time of alert should have been earlier. Thats a very important fact and something that we have to learn from. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. This, nobody was watching italy and europe at the time, nobody was even thinking about it. Today we must consider an outbreak anywhere is an outbreak everywhere and i think thats those are words to remember going forward. Outbreak in china in a number of days its going to be in europe, from europe its going to come to the United States, assuming it didnt come from the United States immediately from china. Another lesson we have to learn is our Hospital System. We talk about our Hospital System. We dont really have a Public Health system. We have a Hospital System and we learned the hard way about the capacity, management of our Hospital System. We have only 12 hospitals, they are the health and Hospitals Corporation that run by new york city. Theres only 12 hospitals and in public Hospital System. 44 hospitals are private hospitals, private institutions. They are regulated by the state, but they are private institutions. They have their own area of expertise, they have their own basic clientele and they are doing business as individual entities, like an individual college, right, we dont we have a system of colleges but each college is individual. Its the same thing with hospitals. Each hospital is an individual entity. Long island we have four public hospitals, 19 private hospitals. Westchester one private hospital, 12 private, rockland 1 public two private. Hudson valley, rest of the state two public hospitals, 87 private hospitals. So really your healthcare capacity in the state is all in the hands of private hospitals, right . You have 176 private hospitals in the state, thats the capacity, but that means you have to rely now on the private hospitals, get them all to be part of one system which daytoday that does not happen. Theyre operating themselves and this is regulation that says how you must operate. Arthel andrew cuomo emphasizing not to forget about the care of the healthcare workers, the state of the Healthcare System specifically hospitals and the like, quoting saying, nobody was watching italy and europe and also saying that we must consider an outbreak anywhere is an outbreak everywhere as this covid19 continues to take the lives of so many americans.
