Trace gallagher 1 00 p. M. , and updating you on the latest developments around covid19. The latest numbers indicate cases are growing exponentially. At this hour, we know more of 40,000 confirmed cases in our country and i believe 610 people have died. Prediction from the Surgeon General it will get worse throughout the week. In washington monday, second procedural vote on a 2 trillion rescue plan failing to pass congressional muster and democrats argued the package is tilted towards the corporate veil of the nonAmerican Workers and the fate of the stimulus still uncertain. At the same time, president hence he wants to see americans back at their jobs and a lot want sooner than the period suggested by doctors. Is he looking for acid solution to save lives the 112020 games will certainly be put on hold to my. Or nations expected to follow suit. 6 of all cases in the world are there in the governor calls for emergency medical procedures as hospitals report their overflowing with patients and nearing the end of their supplies. Head of prevention, though short of personal protective equipment has gotten so critical that we are going to start needing. Development surrounding the covid19 pandemic and most of i. Lets begin the coverage in washington, fox news correspondent kevin corke, kevin, disappointing news from capitol hill on monday and what went wrong . Certainly disappointing when you consider that they were very close, trace, to making a deal and then the speaker of the house nancy pelosi came back in with lay demands and that appears to be the reason there has been the impasse but i tell you, we learn here at fox news tonight the treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin whos been in contact and conversation with Chuck Schumer of the Senate Minority leader. Weve just received word here at fox news that Steven Mnuchin has said i look forward to a deal tomorrow. Still, anyones guess house in the u. S. Economy it might ramp up if that works and happens but this much is certainly clear. If the president would preferred that it be sooner rather than later. Our country wasnt built to be shut down and this is not a country that was built for this. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself and were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem. Meanwhile, president s plan to help americans affected by the widespread shutdown thanks to the coronavirus. Obviously, hit a speed bump as he pointed out and republicans arguing that the democrats are simply stacking the stimulus with a wish list including an expanded tax credits for wind and solar power increased leverage for labor unions, extra 500 billion for election by mail efforts. Sameday voter registration, reduction and airline carbon emd diversity requirements for companies receiving federal aid just to name a few. None of which as you can tell has anything to do with the virus which left many republicans fuming. We were this close, this close. And yesterday morning the speaker of the house flew back from San Francisco. And suddenly, the senate suddenly bipartisan process turned into the left wing episode of supermarket sweep. We are here trying to fight for the men and the women of our streets in the hometowns and yet they are fighting for the green new deal. Ill be sick, passionate senator there and weve learned, trace, that the house bill is over 1400 pages long and just a perspective and it was about 1400 pages long. Obviously, a lot packed in there that will have to be examined but if you listen to Steven Mnuchin, treasury secretary, theres encouraging signs that something could happen tomorrow and i will be here for you. It back to you. Trace a lot of americans hopeful, kevin corke live in d. C. And thank you, kevin. Coronavirus, some in quarantine and now the houses wondering whether to designate a colleague to vote for them if they cant return to washington. House rules Committee Jim mcgovern colleagues late monday that voting by proxy could be made available for any members were unable to return to washington and cast and in person vote because of the pandemic. Two house members, Florida Republican mario davis and Utah Democrats have tested positive for coronavirus and earlier monday we learned that Kentucky Republican rand paul became the first u. S. Senator to test positive for the virus. Before the coronavirus seemed like it was somehow both yesterday and a lifetime ago. Youre looking at the amount of cases in the u. S. Every week for just the month of march when it began 62, a week later, 300. March 15th, over 3,000. The number stands at over 46,000. Of the most frightening aspect of the virus is how easily it is spread and while most of us seem to be practicing distancing, a few of us are choosing social outings which will increase the cases. I want americans to understand, its going to get bad and we really need to come together as a nation. I think theres a lot of people who are doing the right things but i think that unfortunately, we are finding out a lot of people think that this cant happen to them. Fox news correspondent jeff paul 1 11 los angeles newsroom. Yeah, trace, washington governor not ordering the closure of nonessential businesses means the steam at home mandate that he ordered it is enforceable by law and all this happening while they are becoming desperate for masks and face shields that one hospital is launching a 100 million mask challenge asking locals to start pitching and donating and supplies what they may have twopart medical professionals buried under the orders, only out to buy groceries, seeking medical attention, or work for an essential business. Folks can be outside but they need to be 6 feet away from each other. Ordered by governor in washington and also, banning all gatherings of people for spiritual, social, Recreational Purposes including weddings and funerals. Governor inslee had hoped and the official state and home order would not be needed but not enough people were taking the mourner seriously enough. This is a very serious choice. I make the difficult choice knowing it will it will add to the economic and family hardship and many other states are already feeling as we try to slow and turn back this pandem pandemic. But we need to think about it in these terms. We want to get back to normal as soon as possible. And california, u. S. Naval ship mercy left san diego where its headed to West Los Angeles and will be in place to help serve as a Referral Hospital for noncoronavirus patients and help hospitals focusing on the pandemic. Last week, governor mooch in issued a stayathome order but what happened so many people out, not social distancing and beaches up and down the coast where packed and hiking spots were full of people. If state parks had hardly any we to park and has a repertoire demand result, hes ordering the parking lots to be blocked off. Some folks tested and know that one cannot condemn that but one can criticize it. We need to practice common sense and social distance and that means we need to help you help yourself. Anyone who goes against the state and home order here in california technically could face a misdemeanor and Governor Newsom does not want Law Enforcement involved just yet. Hes helping social pressure will be enough to keep folks at home. Trace. Trace jeff paul life for us, thank you. If Health Care Workers telling their patients to stay at home and utilize telemedicine as much as possible. If this is researchers are working around the clock for an edge against covid19 President Trump give an update to the Administration Efforts and a possible vaccine for the virus. Watch. 8 billion including money for the development of treatments and vaccines and we are doing tremendous work on both fronts and the vaccines coming on very quickly. Trace important to note that the World Health Organization pump the brakes a bit on the president s claim saying that vaccine could take at least a year. Lets turn to dr. Jeff and the family physician for Rowan University and dr. Connell, or having the debate and its heating up a little bit because theyre talking about chloroquine, and the combination of both especially in the french study which seems to a little bit say all of our patients have been improved by using this and im corny from the study here despite small sample size, our survey shows that hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly says associated with viral load reduction and disappearance of covid19 patients and efforts are reinforced by the throw my sin. Scientists on the other side this is a small study and no testing in this whole thing should be thrown out. Your thoughts. My thoughts are what you started out by saying that theres a small sample size, and im hopeful that any treatment we may come up with fight covid19 and im not a debbie downer, lets be very clean to clear, but im a scientist and the physician and i know that one trial that small or small numbers of trials that are small and not validated an extensive dont necessarily mean that a drug or drug combination will work and be safe. If remember, not just about whether or not the drugs were, its about if they are safer people to take and how we need to dose them and how often they need to be taken. Theres a lot that goes in here, so while i say okay, a lot of my patients are asking me, we just dont know right now and in my hopeful, certainly, do we need more research and absolutely. Trace does it change your view at all, and i know this is been used for malaria talking about chloroquine for a lot of years, and its also been used for our hospitals in some capacity, but its been used over the years fairly safe. Does that comfort you at all . A dozen some ways, youre right, hydroxychloroquine in particular, and whats nice about it its not a brandnew drugs but there still things that we dont know about it and just because we use it for other conditions doesnt mean that we would know in the context of this Disease State if its safe. If its effective. At what dose, at what dosing, so you have to understand, yes, i love the fact that the drug is familiar with, but that doesnt mean that the work that isnt have to be done, but theres always the question and thats why it has to be studied rigorously. We need to make sure not only it works but it safer people. If we dont know that right now. Trace i was interested today when dr. Deborah birx and was talking about the mortality rate and she seemed to have some kernels of positive news and theyre and i want you to listen to this and ill get a response on the flip side. Sure. Of theres been no child under 15 that has succumbed to the virus in europe. If there was the 114yearold in china and so we still see that there is less severity in children. 99 of all the mortality coming out of europe in general is over 50 and preexisting conditions. The preexisting condition piece holds in italy with the majority of the mortality having three or more preexisting conditions. But it doesnt change the need to continue to protect the elderly and in order to protect the elderly, we need to continue to do the president s directives and guidance. Trace she said it should be reassuring and are you reassured . In some ways, i am, and that sort of what weve been predicting all along and what weve been saying, it tends to affect the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions more severely than those who are young. Im glad to see that our feelings about that are still on trajectory and thats a good thing. Let me remind ourselves, we talked about this last week, just because it doesnt affect young people a severely overall, theres plenty of young people that are experiencing very severe cases of covid19 and dying from it. If we dont need that to be lost on this but yet, less than 1 or whatever the yet to make them receive gift it doesnt mean nonas other points doesnt exempt exempt young people fromd having a role in this. They can still transmit older people and other people and be a cemena sum to medicare years trace with the good news and tidbits, is there a way of grieving demand greasing the wheels theyre going to live to some of the mandates later in the week . I dont know about that, about greasing the wheels but i think a big question in the way then im hoping is that theyre getting it back and thats what we need right now, we need data. The best that we can do really is like china and see where the trends have been so once again, im still cautious in the sense with the d. C Disease State, some things could change in the next three days so no, i think theyre telling us what they know if this date and time and thats what we need to buried trace its affair sms sms man, dr. Jen caudle, thank you. Thank you. Trace stock markets around the world are down and we had a lot of comparison to the crash of 2008 rate.

At office depot, officemax and officedepot. Com trace well, medical health isnt the only thing our country is in desperate need of these days, the stock market continues to plummet, Financial Experts warned us we are now teetering on the brink of another recession. But the Federal Reserve is writing to the rescue at least, thats the hope with a series of moves reminiscent of what the central did it to soften the blow and the 2008 financial crisis. With us now on skype, adam, the executive director or editor, Fortune Magazine and we talked about 2008 back then and its about take my keeping the banks a lo afloat, and its a very toh trick. Thats absolutely right, 2,000 and, we are all talking about the fact that this wasnt as bad as the Great Depression but the closest thing that anybody living had seemed to wait. As you quite correctly said, in 2,008, we were most concerned about the banks because they were in trouble of failing because of falling housing prices and a lot of bad mortgages insecurities attached to the mortgages. We are experiencing right this moment is far worse than that because its nearly the entire economy and so the fed is trying things that its never tried before including in 2008. Trace its interesting, or talking about this debate and President Trump saying that the cure cant be worse than the virus. I want you to listen to the president and get your thoughts on the other side. America will again and soon be open for business. Very soon. If not sooner than three or four than someone was suggesting an a lot sooner we cant let the cure beeped worse than the problem itself and were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem. At the end of the 15day period, we will make a decision as to which way we want to go and where we want to go and for the time being and essentially referring to the timing of the opening. Actually the opening of our country. If we want when you take of that, adam, sounds like the president wants to flip the open for business on it on the country. To parts of the country, the part about the timing, hes no idea if hes right or wrong and no idea what hes talking about he could be right and not be right. On the second point, there is tradeoffs between what we do to contain the pandemic and what it does to the economy and there of course, hes absolutely right and thats why its so important. First of all, what the fed has already done and what were waiting on congress to do as well. Trace its interesting because you look at new York Governor Andrew Cuomo means not echoing the president but hes kind of just saying in his state its not the worst in the country right now and listening to him it again on the flip side reaction. You have to get the economy up and running. So that has to be planned at the same time. There has to be a balance or parallel tracks that we are going down. We also have to start the plan the pivot back to economic functionality. You can stop the economy. Forever. Trace a five or six days ago, adam, it was taboo to say, listen, turn the economy back on and we will work on the health thing at the same time. Right, i agree with you, moving quickly and where learning new things and reassess thing and its not so important over learning but with the policymakers are learning. Its a little bit analogous of the doctor you had a moment on the go and the facts i could focus on are we dont know if we can restart we dont know when we can restart the economy and we do know is that there are certain things we can do to help businesses keep their employees employed. To help businesses not miss out on the loans that are coming due. Im simplifying things, but those are the sorts of things that the fed is focusing on right now which they can do as opposed to saying when we can be quote unquote open for business again. Which is what President Trump nor Governor Cuomo can say. Trace im just curious, if the order began lifting some of the businesses and opening them come out with that soothe wall street . You know, my guess it would smooth wall street for some period of time, whether its an hour or a day, until theres a massive outbreak again and wouldnt sue them. Trace yep, very good point, adam lish and ski, thank you, sir. Thank you. Trace u. S. Is third on the list of global cases with more than 60,000 confirmed.
