all the schools for the rest of the school year. ainsley: new york city mayor bill de blasio warning new yorkers to be prepared for a possible shelter in place order. as cases drop by more than 100 in just one day. the state jus opened the second drive-thru testing site. brian: the governor says don't prepare for that i will make that call. more than 6400 coronavirus cases and the u.s. at least 114 people have died. 170 have recovered. we can expect a really big show. a lot of doctors coming our way including seema verma, dr. nicole saphier and dr. siegel. we will have a visit, not in studio, but from a remote location cardinal timothy dolan. steve: brand new member of the fox news family dr. janette nesheiwat will be here as well. if you have questions for cardinal dolan so many people are looking to a higher power to help guide us through these self-ice hraeugtd times when you have so many questions, if you have a question for him because the three of us do email us at friends@foxnews.com. also, we are on facebook. ainsley: god will not forsake us gentlemen and america. i listened to a sermon this morning from one of my favorite pastors max lucado who is on our show and put out a lot of books. feed your faith not your fears and your fears will starve. did you see the interview on "fox & friends first" a mom threfourkids three autistic. older sister was reading to the younger brother scriptures about not being in fear. brian: different restrictions and lack thereof here in new york city which is now the number one, sadly of cases in the country, washington state being second. no bars, no hotels -- excuse me, not hotels, no restaurants, no night clubs. they are pretty much shut down and thinking about a shelter in place. the governor says i can't do that i'm the one who made that call. we are not going to actually do that. depending on the state though, you have different restrictions. for example, there are some with restaurants but you have to keep it down over in florida to a certain number of people. steve: that's right. governor desantis came out yesterday and he, you know, apparently what they are doing is they are saying restaurants can remain open but half the capacity which is interesting. what really got a lot of people's attention is the fact that we had on the program yesterday ambassador best of my recollection and shambassador be the core group that will stop the virus. they are not doing the social distancing as we are. and there was an image i saw this morning on the associated press. take a look at this. this is yesterday, a couple guys wrestling each other a contest on the peach in pompano beach in florida. i can count over 20 people. of course, governor desantis said look, we are going to crack down on this. and the limit is 10 in all. because the last thing they want is an image like that where everybody passes it around. anyway, here is the governor real quick from tallahassee, yesterday. >> the universities being with the spring break and the two weeks a lot of students have just been congregating at the universities and going out and doing things there. and that's not something we want. what we are going to be doing is simply for the statewide floor for beaches is applying the cdc guidance of no group on a beach more than 10. and you have to have distance apart if you are going to be out there. ainsley: dr. baden had a message for the millennials. he said look your brain is not as mature as it needs to be at this teenage age. did you go out there and resilient and think you are going to be okay. because you are hearing that older individuals are affected by. this the surgeon had a message on the white house's twitter account that reminded millennials hey, these older individuals are getting it from somewhere and you could be passing it along. watch this. >> the question i often get asked is why should young people care about the spread of coronavirus? well, we know that people underlying medical conditions over the age of 60 are at highest risk they have got to get it from somebody. it's why during our 15 days to slow the spread initiative we're encouraging young people to avoid large gatherings of 10 people or more because we know if you get coronavirus you are at risk of spreading it to someone else. brian: right. so you are asking a bunch of spring breakers not to do spring break like for example everybody else outside of florida not doing spring break and to see that yesterday was really disturbing and you have to just say to yourself we are in a different time. for some reason they are not getting the message, many states in the northeast and some in the midwest like kansas and definitely on the west coast, california that this is serious and everyone has to take personal responsibility despite your ages. ainsley: yeah, it's affecting all of us, brian and steve in different ways. i had a babysitter the other night i was talking to. she said it's my senior year of high school. i'm not going to get to grow to prom. last semester with my best friends i have grown up with all suffering in some way because of this. but it's for the greater good. steve: absolutely. my daughter cancelled her wedding. she has looked forward to her wedding her whole life. and it's not going to be in five weeks because it's a group of more than 50 people. we heard the cdc say you don't want 50 people although yesterday we heard from the president of the united states we don't want groups of bigger than 10. it's all about social distancing which dr. oz reminds us can really turn this thing around. >> this virus is very contagious. it has shown its ability to kill. and although the influenza seasonal flu virus can also be deadly our estimates this is several times more dangerous. how much more dangerous depends a lot on how we manage ourselves and how we are able to deal with the isolation required of individuals who have problems and social distancing we are pledging. steve: and that's what people are starting to come to grips with, brian and ainsley. as the surgeon referred to this 15 days to slow the spread. it's two weeks where we are pretty much all hunkered down. and we have to figure a way to somehow have some sort of interaction with other people. i was talking to my daughter down in washington, d.c. she works for the government. she has not been out of her apartment in five days because that's what they have been suggesting. social distancing. so, what we have been doing at our house, is we are using the face time and using the skype. it's almost as if they are there. but we know exactly why we are separated. brian: epidemic of 1918 where you would be isolated and writing long letters. now you actually do have electronics and have you streaming that could actually fit the bill. something people have been doing now. if you talk to people on x box they say yeah, i'm playing this game with somebody in japan. now at least you can face time. steve: brian, are you playing x box now. brian: i noticed kids are doing that. ainsley: kids are watching a lot of tv. we need to have home schooling. we set up a designated in our playroom yesterday for that i'm going to have to do research to find out what a 4-year-old is supposed to be learning at this point. we have the responsibility as patients to do the research and teach our kids so they are not in front of the x box and not in front of the screens all day long. brian: steve mnuchin caught a lot of people by surprise. bloomberg reported behind closed doors talking to stphaoerts. unemployment can reach as much as 20%. have to act quickly. small businesses, especially, they need money. these families need money. the millionaires don't perhaps for now. people making $65,000 or less, this is going to be a crisis time almost immediately. therefore, we are looking to congress to act with a mask relief bill. and then on top of that another trillion-dollar stimulus package. senator lindsey graham weighed in on what's at stake. >> the economy three weeks ago was historically good. along comes the virus. this president closed down travel between us and china, the single best decision he made. now, he told me tonight that those people are out of work because of the containment policies shutting down restaurants, hotels and bars. we will chec keep their checks coming. they don't need $1,000. they need a sustainable r incom. our number one job right now is to provide income to those people who have lost their job because of the virus. steve: that is, you know, we are talking essentially about two different things right there. yesterday we heard from steve mnuchin, brian, as you were pointing out. sounds as if in the next two weeks or so people could get a check for a thousand dollars. they are going to use regular avenues of the federal government either via social security or through the irs because they know who needs money because they know who gets checks and who pays taxes. this whole idea of the thousand bucks apparently started with mitt romney a couple of days ago and it really took off. the whole idea is to tide people over until something else. people are hurting. ainsley: other thing being discussed now in d.c. is the house, you know, pa*rlsed a bill. steve: exactly. ainsley: stimulus bill to help us or folks that are suffering who are going to lose their jobs and not get paid. mitch mcconnell is saying in warp speed the senate is going to pass something. we are not going to take a recess until something is passed. steve: right, the house bill. ainsley: the house bill. some of the concerns for the g.o.p. that don't love this bill and mitch mcconnell has said look, just pass it. just gag and pass it and we will fix what you don't like later. but right now america is hurting the concerns over the house bill. okay, so you have paid leave for people who are losing their jobs. that's great for the folks who need to pay their bills. but what about the small business owners? we have friends that are employing 57, 60 people in their company and they are worried if they are not bringing in money how are they going to pay their employees. so they're looking to the government to help them as well. some of those things need to be worked out. brian: with direct deposit and with the irs, we can get this money very quickly unlike what happened in 2004 where it took a long time because had you to use regular mail. meanwhile, 11 minutes after the hour, this wasn't the only news yesterday. steve: we have been talking about the coronavirus now. go back to politics. it is an election year. last knight another biden blow out. the former vice president cemented leads with sanders with wins in illinois, arizona and state of florida. brian: wasn't even close. all three states wearing masks in some cases and gloves. as concerns over covid-19 reached all-time high they pulled it off everywhere except ohio they shelved it. ainsley: griff jenkins is in. he won every single county in florida. griff: it was a clean sweep. brian, steve, ainsley good morning. hat trick. clear indication the voters are not looking for radical change in frightening times. biden has commandable lead in the race. 1437 delegates to sanders 861. biden held no victory rally just a livestream from his home appealing to the base. >> let me say to the young voters inspired by senator sanders. i hear you. i know what's at stake. griff: griff here is how big he won by more than 12%. in illinois by more than 2%%. florida the biggest delegate prize dominating by nearly 40%. sanders was absent the airwaves after the polls close you had. >> we need medicare to cover all medical bills during this emergency if you are uninsured, if you are under insured. if you have high deductibles, if you have high co-payments. if you have out-of-pocket expenses. medicare will cover those expenses. griff: images, guys, you mentioned just surreal with voters and volunteers both in masks and gloves. the question is what happened next? more states are postpones their elections out of coronavirus concerns. maryland wars the latest yesterday to join louisiana, georgia and kentucky to postpone. the dnc is very worried about changes against the primary calendar. remember, their convention is the second week of july. the chairman tom perez is hoping states will make it easier and safer and definitely start using mail ballots to get it done. the next primaries comes first week of april. and that will coincide with the end of this 15-day period when we may have some clarity on just how bad things are. but it is certainly not certain what will happen to the democratic primary race right now. steve: griff, what was the turn out like yesterday given people are freaked out about cv 19. griff: low turn out. you expected people would be concerned about the coronavirus scare. however, we saw some of the numbers trending in the same way that number i want to point out in all arizona, illinois and florida, we saw voters that did turn out, went centrist almost six in 10. i think that is certainly an indication of where democrat voters minds are add mist of this coronavirus. brian: i don't get how bernie continues. he has no way of reversing the momentum. he doesn't say anything different. ainsley: clair mccas mccaskill d it's time for him to drop out. we will see. griff: you really have arizona hawaii and wyoming. ainsley: this is normally about our top story. 12 minutes into the show until we got to the election. steve: times have changed. all different america. brian: all right. griff. thanks. steve: quarter after the hour on a busy wednesday. jillian is here. jillian: get back to the news on the coronavirus. other stories making headlines a suspect is charged with murder in the shooting death of a philadelphia police corporal. his son elliott opened fire as corporal james

six-time super bowl champ announced he would be leaving the new england patriots after 20 years with the team. the buccaneers have had one winning season since 2011. what do you think, brian? brian: what i think is they better get some talent around him quick beside wide receivers because he can't take a beating at his age. and number two is very curious to see if derek carr goes to new england if the raiders are going to engineer a trade. ainsley: $30 million. what's his salary now? brian: i think he is playing for minimum wage right now. ainsley: right. right. he does hav doesn't have to payn florida though. steve: that's true. jillian, thank you very much. brian: questions pouring in about covid-19. like how worried should you be about what's in your mail? a doctor is on the case

questions so we brought in an expert to help answer some of them. brian: joining us right now is infectious expert dr. deanna grayson. doctor, let me start with the first question is from jennifer my mom is 84 years old and had her pneumonia shot since the coronavirus affects the respiratory system. is there a chance the pneumonia shot will benefit those who got it? will this help? >> well, thanks for having me on this morning. and jennifer, that's a great question. so, unfortunately the pneumonia shot, while that is very effective to protect your mom against something called a numerounumocaucus it won't be ae able to protect your mom from this coronavirus. like the influenza, the flu shot the pneumonia shot is important for people to have especially those at risk because it reduces your mom's chances of getting pneumonia so we reduces her chances of having to go to the hospital where she could potentially be exposed to someone else who has the coronavirus. so, although the flu shot or the pneumonia shot don't help against coronavirus they are important to get. steve: meanwhile, dr. dan on facebook wrote this to us. how do we know that an infected mail person is not delivering the coronavirus to our mailbox every day? i think you kind of have to imagine everybody these days. but the big question is how long does it stay on your mail and what about when you open up the metal door? >> boy, that is a great question, dan. and i think, you know, you hit the nail on the head here that you have to assume that everything outside of your house has coronavirus on it. now, there is just a recent study that was published yesterday that shows that this coronavirus can live a little longer, not live but sort of be viable longer on a metal surface potentially up to three days. and then on cardboard or paper it's a little more variable, somewhere perhaps up to 24 hours. so that being said, what you can do is get your mail if you have some rubber gloves, use those. open your mail, and then after you are done looking at your mail. wash your hands with soap and water. and don't touch your face. ainsley: good advice. okay, dr. grayson, cathy on facebook wrote us and said i haven't heard anybody talk about public risk in using swimming pools and shot tubs. we are in a 55-plus community and i think it is a risk. am right? >> ainsley, i get that question a lot. the virus would be duluthed out idiluted out in theswimming poo. or deactivated these are not live things. think about that doorknob or gate on the way to the swimming pool. that has a lot more risk than the swimming pool or the hot tub. i would encourage people to make sure they are getting their normal exercise, but, again, be careful, anything that you touch finger tips and touch your face, can you catch this coronavirus. brian: keep in mind you are not going to be exercising nut health club, doing something with the towel or dumbbells at home. brian writes us on facebook excuse me, patricia twraoeuts on facebook. this was my name in the prompter. is it safe to buy produce that is not in plastic? >> boy, that is a terrific question. of course, we want everyone to be eating their fresh fruits and vegetables. just like you should do any time you buy produce, when you come home, you should wash that produce and there is some products that have a little bit of soap in it. if you don't have those products actually just use really dish soap really diluted down and wash the produce and rinse it well with water and you should be good to go and, of course, wash your hands. steve: how diluted down? >> you know, that's a good question. you could put a couple drops in like a cup, just doesn't take much to really destroy this virus. this virus has a layer of fat around it. so, the good news is that soap really destroys that. brian: doctor, i'm pretty astounded they just did a study of what's going on in china. six in seven cases before their crackdown and their quarantine were people walking around not knowing they had the virus. undetected. how intimidating is that? steve: stealth. >> well, yeah. this is why we are seeing across illustrately spain and now here. we are seeing these waves of cases. so this virus is really sneaky because those that are not at risk, they get it's flu season. people get a little sick. mild symptoms. but they don't, you know, most of us we kind of power through it. right? we are kind of a tough mentality. but unfortunately with the case of this virus, you know, the folks that are vulnerable, our older population, people with chronic lung disease, they are at really risk of having such severe cob consequences. we all have to act like this virus could really harm us very much so. because we could harm our neighbors and loved ones. steve: better safe than sorry. thank you for joining us from down in orlando. >> thanks for having me. steve: great info. ainsley: she didn't have any symptoms of covid-19.

and it turns out she has it, too. lisa jones, 51 years old and her daughter liesha 32 years old. they are both quarantined together and joining us via skype. good morning to you, ladies. >> good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: i'm so sorry you are going through this but i'm glad you have each other. >> yes. ainsley: you found out you might have it through an email, right? >> yes. i received notification from my job basically stated that someone who works in the building where my job is located because it is a large office building basically saying that they had tested positive for the covid-19. and we were instructed from there to basically work remote especially with the schools being closed and those precautions being made. i started to feel symptoms sunday evening which basically started with chills, had body aches and also had like a real bad my grain monday morning, i woke up. what was scary i had trouble like breathing mile. chest was hurting really bad. that's what prompted me to go to the er. ainsley: lisa, we have all been so fearful about this virus. what did you think as her mother? i know how much a mother loves her little girl. >> i know. that's probably how i contracted it. because she told me that she wasn't feeling well. so i went in mom mode and i was taking her temperature, feeling her and i believe that's how i came into contact with it. so,. ainsley: isn't that interesting taking care -- we put ourselves behind our children. you are taking care of her. you care more about her and then you are infecting yourself. what have you gone through? is yours worse or do you feel like your symptoms are easier or better than your daughters? >> well mikesell symptom well ms bad as liesha i had more congestion and coughing. i had that prior to her getting tested. i thought it was like a regular cold or having a cold. but once she found out that she was being tested, i mean -- tested positive, she called me. and so i immediately went to the hospital to get myself tested as well. ainsley: i hope y'all are feeling a little bit better. each day, are you feeling improvement? >> um, for me it's kind of like up and down, so, throughout the day like i will feel okay and then other days i still get the body aches and then i feel like really fatigued and i need to lay down and rest. i just kind have been listening to my body and making sure i take care of myself. ainsley: i watched some. >> we have been drinking a lot of fluids and taking over-the-counter medication. ainsley: we wish you all the best. i watched the mr. roger's movie over the weekend and so sweet he wrote down everyone by name that he prayed for at night and knelt down beside his bed. i encourage everyone watching. >> thank you. >> thank you. ainsley: add their names to your prayer list. liesha and lisa. get better over the next few weeks as you improve. god bless you both. thanks, ladies. stock futures all over the map this morning after

i think that's the wrong word. i call this a support and rescue plan. the support is where the money goes for individuals for necessities. rent, mortgage, insurance, and food. the rescue is for industries which are really suffering like the airlines and the federal reserve is pumping in money to stabilize the financial system. i call this a support and rescue plan. we'll get to the stimulus when this is all over and we can go back and buy in the stores and shrao*euz and spend. that comes later. stimulus later. support and rescue now. brian: so i understand there is a couple of acts. one working through the stimulus and the stem less the secretary of treasury wanted yesterday. the $850 billion is the total probably go over that. 50 billion for the airlines. 250 billion for small business. 500 billion in aid to individuals through direct payments. does that sound right? >> yeah. that's what they are discussing. haven't got it through the senate yet, but that is what is being discussed. i think you should really talk in terms of trillions of dollars being pushed into the economy. either by the administration or by the federal reserve. that's what's going on. steve: right. something else going on is yesterday after it was announced and everybody is going to wind up with at least $1,000 check and we don't know how many more checks are going to come after that stuart. the market took off and it closed way up like close to 1,000. right now the stock market futures are down 700, 800. it's been all over the place. what is going on. you would think that with good news like that it would be positive but are there just so many people who are saying you know what? i don't know how long this is going to last i have to get out and sell everything? >> it looks like the damage to the economy is severe. nobody want to put a name on it. no one wants to say severe recession or depression. nobody wants to say that but we are closing down this economy this push towards less and less social contact and less stores being open and businesses closing. that shuts down the economy. we don't know how long it lasts and we don't know how severe it's going to be. so investors think what am i going to do with my money? they're not going to make that much profit for the next six months, corporations. an awful lot of selling. so up a thousand yesterday. down about 800 at the open of the market today. you are going to see a lot of this up and down as investors try to figure out how bad is this going to be for the economy. ainsley: stuart, if you look at china and if you look at italy, has it rebounded there. >> the market or the economy? ainsley: their economy. stuart: china says they are coming through. this reported 20 new cases overnight. that's going down. and they say they have got their workers back to work. they have gotten through to the other side. so they say. italy, totally different case. still on lockdown, france is on lockdown, spain is on lockdown. they are not through this yet. they can't see the other side. brian: one thing is clear people are saying hey, should we wait -- should we shorten the days in which the market is open? are you for that instead of going -- what is it an 8-hour day to cut it back? >> secretary treasurer mnuchin says they are considering shortening the hours that the market is open. he says we will not close the market completely. and i agree with that don't close it. brian: but? stuart: you really don't want to have people not have access to the money that's theirs. think of it like this. if you are a retiree, you want to take some money out of your 401(k). have you got expenses. if the market is closed. you can't sell those stocks in your 401(k). you can't get your money. you can't have that. brian: what good is it to shorten the time in which it is open? is there a benefit to that? stuart: i'm not sure what that benefit would be quite frankly. i don't know. steve: stuart, let me ask you this, there are lot of people looking. in people living on retirement and people who have money in their 401(k) and looking at that number in the stock market future is going the wrong direction and they are thinking, man, not only is it an existential threat to my health, but to my wealth as well. what words of optimism do you give to people who stopped you on the street at 6 feet apart regarding what's going to happen with the market in a year? stuart: we will get through. this there is absolutely no question we will get through this. don't know when. not necessarily do i know how, but we will get through it. and if you look at the price of america's great companies, i mean, the apples of this world, the microsofts of this world. the boeings of this world. they are great companies. apple and microsoft have a great deal of cash on hand. they will certainly get through it. but their stock at the moment is beaten so far down that there is loads of people going to say you know if i buy this thing now and i don't need the money for a year or 18 months, i'm going to do well. there is a lot of people saying exactly that. it's not so much you are looking for the bottom of the market, but you are looking for a clear cut bargain that will rebound when we're on the other side of this. brian: right. because, unlike last time in 2008, the banks were sick. they needed to be saved and people wonder doing the right thing. know it's just the virus is making the country sick but the fundamentals are still strong. stuart: the fundamentals are not strong. they were in january and february. they are not now. we have shut down this economy. and that's the way it is. there is no growth in this economy right now. we're probably going to contract in the future. but, again, you are going to come through it. we always have. we will. this is a vibrant capitalist society and will be again at some point in the future. brian: but my point is that all you need is the keys to open it up. it's ready to go. steve: okay. stuart: that is true. that is correct. the money is there. the financial system is okay. it's in place. steve: all right. stuart: the economy will rebound. steve: stuart, thank you very much. about 15 seconds ago the president of the united states just tweeted and there's the promo for varner and company. the new trump tweet reads for the people that are now out of work because of the important and necessary containment policies, for instance the shutting down of hotels, bars and restaurants, money will soon be coming to you. the onslaught of the chinese virus is not your fault. we will be stronger than ever. brian: nice shot at the chinese who have been taking shots at us. ainsley: great message for people worried about paying their bills. steve: indeed. 14 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian joins us with some news about the border. jillian: good morning. homeland security is considering turning away asylum seekers and border crossers among the coronavirus crisis. the trump administration set to announce a new policy closing the u.s.-mexico border there are concerns immigrants can spread the virus to border agents. a dhs spokesperson tells fox news, quote: president trump is 100 percent committed to protecting the american people from coronavirus and all options are on the table. philadelphia police delay arresting people for nonviolent crimes amid this coronavirus outbreak. that reportedly includes drug offenses. theft and prostitution. police are now told to complete any necessary paperwork and formally arrest the person at a later date. if someone appears to be a threat to the community, police can still detain them. the coronavirus now impacting the world of reality tv. watch this as big brother contestants actually break down learning about the pandemic for the first time in germany. big brother is about a group of strangers living together for months with no contact with the outside world. the show deciding to break the rules after germany went on lockdown allowing contestants to watch videos from loved ones. they have been out of the loop since february 6th. i can't imagine being out of the loop since february 6th and now just learning about all of this. steve: powerful. all right. thank you very much. jillian. brian: i can't imagine being on germany's big brother but that's me. meanwhile, straight ahead. do you have questions about the coronavirus you? are not alone. up next dr. janette nesheiwat answers questions like how worried should you be about the virus spreading in apartment buildings? ainsley: senator martha mcsally says that she wants to get money to people and to small businesses as soon as possible. she is going to explain how that will work when she joins us live. ity to handle whatever monday has in store and tackle four things at once. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said... i got this. usaa insurance is made the way kate needs it - easy. she can even pick her payment plan so it's easy on her budget and her life. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa and the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. leave bleeding gums behind. parodontax.

(vo) get set up right with a live bookkeeper with intuit quickbooks. gentleman. steve: welcome back. dr. janette nesheiwat joins us with answers to a lot of the the questions. doctor, welcome back. >> thank you. steve: it's good to have you. here is an email we got from melissa overnight. it says is it possible to have the flu and the covid-19 at the same time? you know, we know that people confuse them but is it possible to have them both simultaneously? >> it is possible that would be really bad luck to have co-infection. but how do we differentiate? what we do is if i have a patient that comes in with fever, cough, body aches, shortness of breath. the very first thing we will do is take a swab that looks like a q-tip and swab their nose. and takes about 10 minutes for the results to come back to tell me if they have influenza a or b. if they're positive for influenza a or b we stop. we don't proceed to testing them for covid-19. if they are negative for influenza, then at that point if they meet criteria, we will then swab them for covid-19. steve: it is possible but it would just be bad luck. >> exactly if post people have the flu or virus they usually don't feel well and they will be home, hopefully resting and getting better with over-the-counter supportive measures. steve: all right. meanwhile, we are sitting here in manhattan, which is an island filled with apartment buildings and felicia wrote on facebook if somebody in our apartment building gets the virus, what is the risk of it spreading through the shared heating? >> great question. i think the risk is low. even though it's possible, traditionally speaking, viruses tend to thrive in cold weather. we hope this virus will behave as many other viruses in history. once you hit about 60 to 70 degrees fahrenheit viruses tend to degenerate. the likelihood you getting this from transmission of heater is possible but low. have you more risk of acquiring this virus from person-to-person contact or someone coughing or sneezing and you are in the vicinity and those water drop let particles get in your eyes or nose or mouth that's how you catch covid-19. steve: or elevator button i would imagine in a shared. >> absolutely. the virus can live on surfaces if you touch the elevator button and touch your eyes or nose or face potentially could spread or enter your body that wait a minute absolutely right. steve: is it true that 80% of people will not even know they have or had cv 19? >> that's great question. the data that we have shows that about 08% of people will have mild symptoms or no symptoms. it also tells us that about 15% will have moderate to severe symptoms and then 5% will have critical symptoms that is the data we have right now. this pandemic isn't over yet. we can't fully assess. that's reassuring good news. that tells us if you take common sense precaution and take care of yourself then you will recover. the majority of people will recover with zero medical intervention. steve: to the earlier question, doctor, we had a guest on yesterday who said, yeah, i just thought i had the sniffles. and turns out they got tested and they had coronavirus. >> yeah. that's a possibility. absolutely. very mild symptoms can happen and fortunately it's mild in most people. but, we still have to prevent the spread of this virus because we want to protect our seniors and those who are most vulnerable with underlying medical conditions. steve: absolutely. doctor, thank you very much for all the answers. >> yes. steve: if you are watching right now and have got a question for the medical or our medical a team just send them our way. we are on facebook. plus, you can email us friends@foxnews.com. because we are going to do at love these segments because you have got a lot of questions. meanwhile, still ahead on this wednesday, members of the white house kro corona task force including seema investor marks also martha mcsally and former patriots player benjamin watson and timothy cardinal dolan all on deck. a busy wednesday. we'll be right back.

through all of this together. >> we have to fight that invisible enemy, great spirit. tremendous spirit and i can say that for republicans and democrats. ainsley: overnight the state of kansas becomes the first state to close all schools for the rest of the school year. brian: all right. new york city, their mayor bill de blasio or i should say our mayor now warning new yorkers to be prepared for a possible shelter in place order in case -- as cases jump to more than 100 in just one day. the governor came back and said no, you are not going to do it. steve: a live look at times square with people heading to work now very, very quiet. that is referred to as the crossroads of the world. right now not very busy. right now over 6400 cv-19 cases in the united states and best estimates are at least 114 people have died from what the president referred to yesterday as the invisible enemy. and welcome to hour two of "fox & friends." by our count, we are in day 3 now of the administration's 15 days to stop the spread. it's all about hunkering down, isolating and trying to stop this thing before it gets bad. ainsley: that's right. we have a huge show for you. you know, the president has the task force that's helping them. all standing behind him every time he dose aut. seema verma is going to be on the show our friend dr. nicole saphier, dr. marc siegel and then if you have questions about faith and family dr. timothy dolan is going to be on the show. send your questions in to friends@foxnews.com. brian: amazing when people say don't go to church. can't go into crowded areas. don't go. we know joel ols stein is doing it online. numbers pretty staggering around the world looks as though italy is still trying to get ahold of their situation. so is iran. china seems to be on the other side of theirs but having basically a war with us about blaming us for this and the president taking shots back at them calling it the chinese virus. while some here say that's a racist term. it's actually just an accurate term of where it started. and them not being transpatient about thousand started really hurts literally the rest of the planet. steve: well, when you mention italy, the experts say italy essentially is 10 days in front of us. we have 10 days to act. and that is why we are doing the social distancing. people are hunkered down in the city of hoboken yesterday, the mayor said everybody needs to self-isolate and restrict crowds to five or less. so clearly, this is weighing heavily on a lot of people. and ainsley, there are so many people who are not working and they are worried about their future financially. ainsley: they really are. steve: they need money in their pockets. ainsley: that's why the president is working with steve mnuchin. calling it a stimulus plan of $850 billion. you read the president wants latest tweet. you will be getting money, stay tuned. we are working this out as quickly as possible. they are calling it a stimulus. i think it's more about support. watch this. >> what we are talking about here, it has the name of a stimulus package, okay? i think that's the wrong word. i call this a support and rescue plan. the support is where the money goes to individuals for necessities, rent, mortgage, insurance, and food. the rescue is for industries which are really suffering like the airlines and the federal reserve is pumping in money to stabilize the financial system. i call this a support and rescue plan. we'll get to the stimulus when this is all over. i think you should really talk in terms of trillions of dollars being pushed into the economy. brian: keep in mind, too. we all know this, when tarp went out, it really saved the banks and infused some cash in our system. everyone was up in arm. paulson and president bush and nancy pelosi didn't see it another way. not only was that money paid back. it got paid back plus over $100 billion. >> so i think that this could pay off if we could sustain the economy now, we could quickly get paid back as we stand up like a slingshot when we get through this thing. steve: you know, one of the things we are talking to marco rubio about was the fact that we know later today the senate is going to vote on the house bill. and it's really bipartisan. you know, members of both parties realize the importance of getting this done. and we heard from the podium yesterday at the white house. we are going to get through. this and we are going to get through it together. there is the very famous matthew mcconaughey, big movie star. he put out a message to america online. it's going viral and it's important to listen to this. >> more than ever before, we are all more dependent on each other than we ever have been. we have an enemy in coronavirus that is faceless, raceless, non-denominational and bipartisan. it's an enemy we all agree we are going to beat. there is a green light on the other side of this red light that we are in right now. i believe that agreemen green ls going to be built on the values we can enact. values of fairness, kindness. resilience, respect, courage. if we practice those things right now, we get out of this, this virus this time might be the one time it brings us all together and unifies us like we have not been in a long time. brian: i agree. the bad guy is the invisible foe. and it is the virus. we will get into this later. when you see andrew cuomo famous for sparring with donald trump for the last three years now say they are working hand in hand and saying on msnbc how hard he is working with the him and the administration. ainsley: millions of people have already been on that site and heard that message. what a beautiful message for america. we have to unite and stay positive. i heard this morning feed your faith not your fears. and your fears will starve. those are the message people are craving. feel are fearful. we had cardinal dolan on the show and i'm excited to hear his message for the country. steve: it's refreshing. for how long have we been so polarized? it's a blue america vs. red america. we are all in this together to try to do something about this invisible enemy. every time that the president and his team goes to the podium and tells us the very latest. they make it very clear, you know what? these are hard times right now. they are challenging times. we are going to get through this together. brian: meanwhile 7 minutes after the hour. primary yesterday. clean sweep. joe biden cementing his lead over bernie sanders. illinois, arizona and florida. ainsley: some were wearing masks and gloves to polling places. some concerns over covid-19 reaches all time high. steve: griff joins us from d.c. to tell us about the results. ultimate results even though joe swept bernie is still in it. griff: he is still in it that's right; clean sweep by biden. big take away it may be a sign that voters are not looking for the kind of radical change sanders is offering. here is how big of a night biden had. if you look at arizona first winning by more than 12% in illinois by 23% and in florida the biggest prize of the night, the biggest margin nearly 40%. biden now has an undeniable commanding lead in the race. 1147 delegates to sanders 861. there was no victory rally though. just a livestream from biden's delaware home appealing to sanders' supporters. >> let me say especially to the young voters who have been inspired by senator sanders. i hear you. i know what's at stake. >> the images though at they polls surreal and unforgettable. voters in gloves and masks. florida may have surpassed their turn out from four years ago despite coronavirus. one thing for sure it was certainly on the voters' minds. >> it's important to vote. i will go vote and i will vigorously wash my hands afterwards. >> i was worried about looking crazy and then i thought who cares, right? this is more important. >> it's all right to vote. take advantage of that especially in these kinds of times. griff: the dnc very worried about more changes primary calendar, maryland, georgia, kentucky and louisiana have postponed their elections. of course yesterday ohio scrapped theirs next one first week of april and coincides with 15-day period in which we hope we will have stopped the spread of coronavirus, guys? steve: that's the idea. griff, as we look at the delegates joe biden has and still 800 short of the ultimate goal. ultimately this leads to the big convention in the summer. is there any suggestion yet the dnc or the rnc are thinking about pulling the plug on having thousands of people in a big arena? griff: rnc not so much that's in august. dnc convention starts july 13th. all these postponements have you seen in georgia, louisiana, maryland all pushing to june because the time is getting very tight to actually seat their delegates. they have to either go to perhaps an all-mail ballot system or they are in serious trouble of meeting that deadline. ainsley: that's so interesting. definitely going to effect the economies of those two cities getting ready for so many people coming in for those four or five days. griff: without a doubt. what we know for sure is that we don't know what's going to stop the spread of this vice and so if you get to a situation where have you undeniable no can do on the convention. then you will really change the way the democrat party choosing their nominee. brian: all right, griff. thanks so much. meanwhile the president of the united states made it official he has the g.o.p. demonstration and thnomination.the turn out hy strong outside when the epidemic -- pandemic hit this week. but when the president during his time in which there really is no peril to his candidacy, people still going out of his way showing up to vote. that's got to put a bounce in brad parscale's step. steve: indeed. well put, brian. jillian joins us from here on the mezzanine

states we see united towns. from where we sit, just down the street, near the post office, by the park, when we stop and look around, what we see are sparks. sparks of hope, of compassion, of communities who stand firm. when neighbors lift each other up, expecting nothing in return. we're grateful for what you bring, and all the sparks you've shown, in the thousands of towns that we get to call home. ♪ >> we're going to be supporting state efforts. we are going to be working with them to make sure that those great retailers which are cvs and target and walgreen's and walmart that are opening their parking lots for drive-thru centers are included. the american people can be confident now that we have the commercial labs around the country with high speed automated tests you are literally going to see tens of thousands of tests in the days and weeks ahead for the american people. brian: all right. let's bring in seema verma. that's the vice president of the united states with sean. she is medicaid services and member of the white house coronavirus task force. seema, always great to see you. >> good morning. brian: i was a little surprised and kind of heartened by the fact that you guys are expanding. you are going to have telemedicine for our seniors. tell us how this will work. >> that's right. the president made a very important announcement yesterday that we are expanding tele health services to our seniors in the medicare program. that's about 62 million americans. this is really important because last week or actually just earlier this week the white house has been pushing out information, 15 days to slow the spread of the virus. and we have given recommendations for the american public about the measures that they can take to prevent the spread of the virus. part of that is avoiding situations where there is more than 10 people. staying at home. this is especially important for america's seniors that have underlying health conditions. with tele health, they can now get to see their doctor talk to their doctor. in the past only paid for until rural areas very short visits and required them to have a longstanding relationship with their provider. now, with the coronavirus, we're expanding tele health services. this is really important for a couple of reasons. number one, it helps our healthcare providers focus on the most, you know, people that have the most dire healthcare needs. secondly it, keeps people say. if you are a diabetic patient, you may not even have any symptoms, you know, around the coronavirus, no respiratory disease. and if you come into the office and you are sitting in the waiting room, you are having to travel, you could potentially get sick. number two, for people that are showing symptoms, it's better for them to communicate with their doctor through tele health, and that means they are not infecting additional people through their travel to the doctor's office or by sitting in a waiting room. ainsley: seema, are you worried at all about running out of medicine? we had a conversation as a family my mom is a diabetic and my sister said do you think they will run out of insulin i said i don't think so because they're making as much as they are before. can you answer that. >> people have concerns at large about medical supplies, treatments. but right now we haven't heard that there were any issues in terms of the insulin supply. i think more of what we are hearing is that people are concerned about supplies to address the coronavirus, and that's why the president and the vice president met with manufacturers yesterday about increasing the production of certain types of equipment. ventilators, other supplies. and the dod is donating equipment as well. steve: right. >> i'm sorry? steve: i just said right. sorry. seema, i have a question for you. you held up that thing that said 15 days to slow the spread. that is so important. and that's why we are social distancing and that's why the country for the most part is self-isolating and these are hard times. they are challenging times. but, this lockdown of 15 days really is going to shape the trajectory of you who this disease impacts the united states for the next two weeks and maybe even longer. >> that's exactly it. i mean, we can either be italy or we can be south korea and also look at china. they are really seeing their numbers go down. so it's really up to every single american to come together to follow these guidelines and if we all work together, we could see a flattening of the curve. this is really important. because our healthcare system would be overwhelmed if we have the degree of infections or the rate of infections that we have seen in italy. that's why the white house has put out these recommendations. you know, it's going to be difficult for people to make these modifications, but it's important that we all work together. especially younger people, millennials, you know, they may feel healthy. they may feel like if i get this virus it's not going to be that big of a deal. it's just going to be like the flu. but the reality is they can contribute to the spread. they may not even be showing any symptoms, but they could spread it to other people that are more vulnerable, those with underlying healthcare conditions. especially the elderly in that case. so it's important that we all do our part. brian: you got to get used to something new. telemedicine is it and you are the one making it happen. seema verma, thank you so much. ainsley: thank you for all you do. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. brian: let's all be disciplined. so many of you have coronavirus questions. dr. saphier is here to answer them. there she is. jillian: good morning. welcome back. we have headlines for you. the navy is closing training schools as more sailors test positive for coronavirus. five of the seven schools on naval base, san diego are now shut down including one where three sailors tested positive. and two more sailors on board warships now have coronavirus. both ships are docked and being disinfected the sailors are in quarantine. the nba is pushing all teams to test players for covid-19. four players on the brooklyn nets have already tested positive. star forward kevin durant tells the athletic he is infected at the same time the nhl and ottawa senators announce their first confirmed case of coronavirus. the team tweeting the player has mild symptoms and is in isolation. the player has not been identified. police in new jersey help seniors stuck at home during the coronavirus outbreak. officers in centerville are making deliveries for those who don't drive. for those who do drive they are setting up a grocery pickup at a senior center. put the groceries in their cars so the seniors don't have to risk exposure at crowded stores. that is fantastic. we thank them for their work. covid-19 restrictions are reminding families not to take loved ones for granted. take a look at these emotional photos. a woman sharing her engagement with her grandpa through the window of his north carolina nursing home now on lockdown. carley boyd putting her hand up to the glass. her grandpa following suit. this touching moment is going viral. she hopes her grandfather will walk her down the aisle next year. that really gets you. now let's go to adam klotz for what's happening with the weather. adam: hey, jillian, good morning. we are tracking a couple big weather systems across the country. one happening where it's colder back across the west and warm air hanging in portions of texas. already some of these big thunderstorms moving through that region. you saw it a little bit yesterday. i'm afraid it's going to be happening again today. two systems. one back into that colder air. those are winter storms watches and warnings. everything in the red getting up into importances of nebraska and wyoming. that's a blizzard warning. heavy snow visibility down to a quarter mile for three hours or more. could be a mess for some of the folks in that area. and then that possible severe weather threat i was talking about. here is the highlighted area. everything in that big orange box. that's at enhanced risk. we could see isolated tornadoes this afternoon. definitely big thunderstorms we are talking about hail, winds up to 60 miles per hour. guys as i toss it back to you. we are moving our way through march and seeing more and more of severe weather. steve: it's that time the year. adam thank you very much: it is 13 minutes before the top of the hour. with all these questions we have got, we are learning more about coronavirus every day but there are still things we are not exactly positive about. ainsley: that's right. many of us have questions and so we have fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier here to answer them. hey, dr. saphier. nic good morning. ains i'm the mother of a 13-year-old daughter who has asthma. how are people with asthma dealing with the covid-19? nicole: this is a good question a lot of people have children with asthma. cold and flu season is a time of heightened awareness for them. and although the data and the studies are showing us that asthma right now isn't a risk factor for the more symptoms of covid-19. the truth is any respiratory illness may be exacerbated with those with asthma. luckily our children aren't be affected as much. take the same with cold and flu season. keep them home and onset of any sort of shortness of breath you absolutely want to call the doctor. brian: go over to carroll. carroll says i'm an elderly widow who list alone well-stocked on essentials and self-isolating. if nobody comes into my home, do i need to continue to sanitize surfaces once i have done it once thoroughly? doctor. nicole: let's think about that for a second. continue to practice good habits. you don't need to sanitize after every five minutes or walk in the room. maybe you still consider doing it every day. still like people opening windows if the weather is appropriate to allow that cross room ventilation. good practice for all of us to adopt to continue to hand wash more than they usinged to and also wipe off surfaces at least once a day. steve: all right. we have email from the fellow by the name of charles writes i'm 65 type 2 diabetic and i'm supposed to have cataract surgery in four weeks? do you recommend i delay the surgery? >> this is a great question. and a lot of people are asking it because there are a lot of surgeries scheduled right now. cataract tends to be an elected procedure because of discomfort and blurry vision. being 65 and having chronic medical conditions does put you at somewhat higher risk of having a severe course of the illness. my recommendation at this point is to check in with your physician but i am guessing that at this point we are going to say to delay that surgery. i know a lot of places are saying let's delay things up to three months right now and circle back. i don't know where he is particularly, but i would say the right thing to do is probably delay it. steve: can i ask you a question, dr. saphier? what about every day medical or dental procedures like to go have your teeth cleaned? you know, if you are a healthcare provider you worry about the person you are working on. and the other way around. is it the time when we should think about not doing things like that? so. >> dental hygienist and dentists are extremely high risk of contracting the infection if they were to work on someone who has the virus. not only is this transmitted via respiratory droplets, may go airborne as well. means it will stay airborne and be a bit more contagious. this is why we are seeing high h percentage of healthcare workers contracting the virus. ryu teen procedures at this point should be halted. can i speak to my profession, breast imaging and cancer screenings overall recommendation is that we should be postponing any sort of routine screenings, routine cleanings at this point, especially for those that have to be in such close contact like the dental industry. ainsley: okay, dr. saphier, cynthia on facebook writes us and says i'm a 78-year-old healthcare provider in south texas. i do have have a couple autoimmune diseases. other than that, i'm active and feel healthy. is it safe for me to be out out? >> god bless you being 78 and still giving your time to the healthcare arena. the truth is with your age, and having the autoimmune disease, you are possibly on medications that suppress your immune system even further, you are considered high risk and i would strongly urge you to stay inside and really take the social distancing to the max. make sure that you have everything that you need, make sure that you are able to check in with other people via technology, but i strongly urge you to take this seriously. i know south texas. i have friends in south texas. and i know you think that maybe some of these things won't actually enter in there. the truth is this is a global pandemic and nowhere -- everywhere has to adopt the same behaviors. brian: yes. meanwhile go out to wayne. wayne wrote this: i'm a snow bird who planned a car trip from florida to rhode island. so i stay in florida or travel north? >> yeah, i think that's a great question. and it is time for the snow birds to be going back to their homes. the truth is everyone should stay put where they are right now. i would advise against interstate travel if you are able to. if you don't have the supplies you need in florida and actually have to be in rhode island then that has to be taken into consideration. there are no black and white answers. the truth is if you can stay put right now safely, then that's probably what you should do. brian: dr. nicole saphier, would you also say that when it gets hot it's harder for this virus to survive? >> that's right. so as we get hotter and we get a bit more humid, the virus itself doesn't linger in the air nearly as long and it doesn't travel as far. so it's possible that the contagiousness of the virus will go down as we continue to see higher weathers -- higher weathers? higher temperatures. we will be able to open the windows more and all of this will help with the spread of the virus. steve: you know, dr. saphier, i saw something from the federal government that said hey, you know, there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding cv 19. as a medical professional, what is the one bit of information that is either ricocheting around the internet or you have heard from people ask you that absolutely is not right and you can just settle that right now? >> well, the truth is, i see a lot of people just dismissing this saying that this is no worse than the flu and i'm going to continue to live my life, especially these millennials, younger generation. the truth is this may be the same as the flu. we will not know that until next year right now this is more severe than the flu. we have a higher death rate and the biggest issue i'm concerned with is the overrunning of our hospital system. i don't want to see our hospital systems collapse because of this. brian: that's key especially in new york where they are beginning to ramp up and close to having the army put out so we will have to see if that is going to happen. do you know how close we are in new york to capacity when it comes to beds? >> i don't know a number right now. especially because i know that a lot of hospitals are actually mobilizing patients and increasing their bandwidth the amount of beds there are. i mean, i work in the city. they are doing great things from getting patients out that don't need to be there. to postponing elective surgeries and bringing in extra beds and mobile units. they are really doing a great job. we are so blessed to live in sump a nation where we havsuch . people need to remember that our private sector is really stepping up. you know, we have the military coming in for support. we have federal government. other ways coming in for support. it is our private sector through tele health and other modalities that are really going to help get us through. this. ainsley: what if people have prescriptions and prescriptions are running out but they can't get to the doctor to get a new prescription? >> all they need to be doing right now is they need to call their doctor. don't try to physically go to the doctor. don't trito physically go to the hospital just to get a refill of the prescription. also just call the pharmacy and the pharmacy can help get that refill order. the bottom line is we want to keep people in their homes as much as possible just for everyone's safety. people also need their medications which is why pharmacies are not going to be closing. call the pharmacy, call your doctor. a lot can be done on the phone right now. president trump's administration has done great things by waiving hippa and other regulations that we unfortunately deal with on a day-to-day basis. because a lookout of this is waived going to streamline people getting access to their medication. ainsley: i don't know they were doing that could be as simple as getting your contact lenses when you run out of your year supply you need more. thank you very much, dr. saphier. >> every day things that we don't necessarily think about. steve: now we are thinking about them big-time. thank you, nicole. brian: no typical day anymore. dr. marc siegel will be here live. joined by the former teammate of tom brady, ben watson he plays on the patriots. tom brady doesn't and timothy cardinal dolan live. vers. like movie savers. tee-time savers. and especially medicare part d

big number per coronavirus in all 50 states and the district of columbia, president trump however, ensured the american people during the challenging time that we will get through this together. >> we have to fight the invisible enemy, the great spirit, tremendous spirit, i say that for republicans and democrats. ainsley overnight kansas becoming the very first date to close all schools for the rest of the year. brian: bill de blasio warning new yorkers to be set for possible stamp place order pray the governor cannot say no you are not going to do that. >> commuters finding themselves riding alone on a train. that's what would be packed on any other day. the san francisco bay area home to 7 million people still at a standstill with not a lot of traffic as a shelter and home, they can only go out for groceries ainsley you're looking at video, this is the drive for testing locations, appearing all over the country like at west palm beach which is on video right there, medical professionals directing the long lines in the traffic. brian: right now there's over 6400 coronavirus cases in the u.s. at least 114 people have lost their lives so far. we are going to to talk about this in every aspect including the growing numbers in new york has emerged as the place as the new hot bed for most of the attention is, mainly new york city because we are packed in so tight. steve: that's why one of the federal government two days ago started the program that they call 15 days to slow the spread. now we believe in day three, it's all about keeping her distance from people to try to bend down and flatten the curb because the less interaction we have over the 15 days, that is going to shape the trajectory of the disease in the united states of america, impacting almost everybody ainsley brian said it, so significant in the last hour, brian, you are absolutely right, we all have to do our part and be disciplined because some people are mentioning august, if we could do it for 15 days, there's a chance for disciplined enough that we will not get all the way to august and have these problems. brian: many a people estate away from church for the first time or synagogue or wherever you go, that's not only affected the people that attend mass but give max, one is timothy who will be joining us at 830, via remote on another location and he will talk to us about what life is like now ainsley people are scared and starting to look on social media and somebody in a safe community to give them advice and he will be on with us to answer your questions out fox news.com's. send your questions and. steve: during these challenging times it'll be great to hear from him. in the meantime let's turn to washington. >> working out work you speak, focusing on a deal to bring economic relief amend the pandemic. brian: a trillion dollar stimulus package, they could put cash in your pocket within a couple of weeks. but that bill has not been written yet but later today the senate will vote on the house bill finally. todd is live outside in amazon the film is centered stat new york, as that company tries to keep up with surging demand and because so many people are staying in the house, they have there's smart phone and doing shopping, but now amazon is making changes. reporter: all that is right, good morning to all three of you. like you said, amazon is a hotbed of activity right now but that is the case for so many businesses and individuals, the federal government making major moves in response. >> this is a combination of creating liquidity for small businesses. you can think of this as business interruption money. the president is determined we will put money back into this economy. reporter: the president and treasury secretary steven mnuchin announcing a 1.2 trillion dollars stimulus plan including $300 billion for small business loans allowing people with taxes 90 more days to pay in providing $250 billion in cash payments. those payments in the form of checks with at least $1000 with the likely income tax to determine who needs the most. and an employment rate could hit a whopping 20% without the stimulus package, the senate gop will cordon with the white house to come up with a bill and negotiate with the democrats. it is not all worrisome news on the employment front, amazon announcing 100,000 new jobs across the country while also increasing pay by about $2 an hour, inc encouraging people who lost jobs in the crisis to apply until their old jobs come back. you mention this earlier, while amazon is ramping up delivery of certain items like household products everybody needs, medical supplies all the high demand items, there are some products that they are positing delivery on, if there is something nonessential that you ordered and don't get it, that is the reason why. ainsley: are they continuing to restock at amazon? i was on the amazon site trying to buy lysol wipes but that product is not available. reporter: i cannot talk to individual products but i say being here for the last four hours right in front of this one distribution facility here in staten island, we have seen tons of trucks going by. inevitably have to think products coming in and products going out. ainsley: they have to restock just like grocery stores. brian: thank you. let's talk about the aid that could be coming our direction. so many families found out yesterday, your host, waiter, manager, you have to work in a nightclub or any type of restaurant, you are out of a job. so quickly, americans were going paycheck to paycheck need some help. >> everybody's hearts are heavy, we want to act and act quickly and we want to make sure that we get resources, cash directly to american workers, families, this impact is significant and if our responsibility to ensure people have cash to pay the rent to buy food so we can protect seniors, the vulnerable and healthcare workers and find the curve so we can beat the virus and get on the other side and get back to a stronger america. steve: what are the ways we will flatten the curb, we've been talking through social distancing. a couple of hours ago, we showed an image from yesterday, remember you're not supposed to be in a group of more than ten, that's a couple of guys wrestling on a contest in a beach in florida, i count 20 people in the image. it's one of the reasons the governor ron desantis said he is close the bars for 30 days, restaurants are restricted to half capacity in crowds of no more than ten on the beaches at any time. there's an image from clearwater beach in florida and there are a lot of people there, you have to realize that the best way to slow the trajectory of this at a national level is to stay apart. ainsley: the surgeon general put up a message on the white house website saying these elderly people are getting it more than the younger kids but where are they getting it, they're getting it from the younger kids who are carriers and the men are realizing. everyone has a part in this and we all need to have a responsibility to keep everyone safe. brian: of personal responsibility. and we need responsible lawmakers to put together the trillion dollar package and something else to go along. ainsley: the president tweeted this morning saying you will get your money. brian: it's gotta go quick third direct deposit because you know where we live, we know the irs knows where we live and you have our routing numbers. it helps it will get everybody's account. meanwhile mark siegel is a fox news contributor tells us what else is going on as it comes to this. is new york now bracing for tougher and tougher days as the numbers rise? >> i have to be honest, there is a lot of cases in new york, were seen over 1000 cases that are documented and there must be a lot more than that because the mild cases or asymptomatic cases and there's a lot of evidence coming out that you may have had this and had no symptoms at all. those cases are not being documented. in addition, this is the troubling part, our hospitals are starting to see a significant number of patients and also people on ventilators. steve: that's why you need to call your dr. first before you go and because you don't want to expose all those people. i will tell you this over the last number of days, the governor of new york andrew cuomo has done a number of press availabilities and his message has been spot on. it is been terrific. in fact, here's a snippet of him yesterday with the daily briefing talking about how the federal government is working so well right now with new york state. watch. >> it is essential that the federal government works with the state and the state works with the federal government. we cannot do this on our own. we are not democrats and were not republicans, we are americans at the end of the day. the president is doing the right thing and offering to step up with new york. and i appreciate it. and new york will do the right thing in return. brian: that's what we want to hear that our government officials and elected officials are getting along is not a political spot in this disease did not know whether your democrat or republican. >> it knows no borders and boundaries and the president has worked well with the governor of california and governor cuomo has said very important strong things, he says were on a wartime footing against this virus and i agree with that and i really like what president trump is working with him closely. the president has that skill as you know, he is someone that can work with people from different sides and that's really helpful in a situation. i also like the idea of possibly bringing in some of the military. we also have the navy ship that has 1000 beds on it, if we need that that something to keep in mind. brian: it's pretty important that he wants army corps of engineers, he's not demanding more from to build hospitals. are we at the point right now that we should be putting up the hospital tent in the parking lots of the hospitals or elsewhere? >> i don't think were at that point because some of the major hospitals including my own have plans to convert that from one kind of bed to another bedford from a non-icu bed to another bed. that is something were still in the process of doing. i don't think were in the process of hospitals and parking lots at all. it's an important question. ainsley: i was reading an article with people with type a blood might be more vulnerable than those with other type, type o blood could be more resistant. >> it came out of a study of chinese scientist that looked at 2000. shins and compare them to normal and the look like those with type a were more susceptible to severe outcomes but that is not proof, it's one thing that you see and you have to investigate further. something to keep in mind, in my have to do with protein on blood cell but nothing of proof. brian: that something to think about. a lot of people have been e-mailing us this morning, susan sent us an e-mail and writes, my daughter is a nurse and lives at home with us. she works on a floor with some patients who are already sick, presumably with covid-19, should ibi isolating away from her. >> assuming that the people are sick thinking that covid-19, i was wondering if the nurses were tested, i met with the nurses in nebraska, they were being tested several times a week. that is the key, has she been tested. i would always air on the side of safety, if there is a? in close contact, unfortunately even with proper precautions, were seen spread to healthcare workers, i would say to isolate until you know more information. ainsley: this e-mail from brenda, the kids are home from school, is essay for them to play at the park in the cul-de-sac area or should we only stayed in her own houses and backyards. >> that depends on where the country were talking about. is that a hot zone, the middle of montana or new york or seattle? that helps guide my answer but if there is a question worth asking people to stick to the local area and not go play in the park as much as before. if you are here in new york and a hot zone i would not do it. brian: before i get to her e-mail, what good is it to shelter in place so you do not walk down the block, you don't walk your dog? why would the mayor say to do that in another city has done that, what would be the advantage of that? >> because, if there's any chance that you have this virus, this is why i want more testing so we know who has and who does not. because you can spread it with all the public encounters in your dog could have it on there for and that could spread it. it depends on where were talking about but were asking for less direct contact with people as a way of preventing viral spread. you cannot spread and leisure close to somebody. brian: should i be concerned about going to the grocery store? simple question. >> you have to go to the grocery store. you will have to get to the grocery store, of course you have to survive. i would say be careful, that's where you need the social distancing at this grocery sto store. brian: and they have the senior hours. >> exactly, that's a really good point, we want to be really conscience of our seniors of keeping at lower risk because of the biggest complications. ainsley: i was asteve: i was ato yesterday, and it was really busy and i knew i was going to be 6 feet away from the person with the pickle relish, i just held my breath a lot. >> you not supposed to panic and not get overly worried but be conscious by the way you were, you know i have a problem walking down the grocery aisle but be aware of somebody sneezing and coughing. that is the key thing. you really want to stay away from people who are anyway sick and anyone out there that is sick, you should not be in public for sure. if you were, you're the one that should be wearing a mask. ainsley: what's the next e-mail. ainsley: this lady asked, my daughter works at a dentist office in 20 weeks pregnant, how concerned should we be. >> that's a tough question, if you are in a hot zone where there are a lot of the virus, were very concerned about dentist offices right now because there's a lot of contact on a dental procedure pre-someone who is pregnant i would think carefully about this and advise them to figure out a way to work from home. you can't really assist the dentist from home but it might be time to consider. ainsley: the pediatric dentist called me yesterday and said they're canceling the appointment for next week. >> that's the right thing. brian: ted says can i turn up the heat in my home, were turning the air conditioner very low to help destroy coronavirus germ. >> it does not do it. there is no way to do that. there is some thought the high humidity inside your home might be some helpful for viruses in general because viruses don't travel as well and humidity. it is not proven but worth thinking about whether the weather plays a role. but the question, definitely not, what you need to do is disinfect the surfaces in your home using clorox wipes. ainsley: i think the writer could be referring to something that we have in our house and that is a blue light. it kills everything, is in one of the air handlers regarding the air conditioner and people turn those on so it kills the mold so it does not spread to the house. >> i agree with that, and ultraviolet light does kill viruses. both of those are good thoughts. i'm not talking about viruses inside your talking on services. brian: here in new york city. ainsley: so many kids out of school, how can you keep them happy and healthy. a father of seven and former patriot player ben watson has a thing or two about a full house and he will join us next. molly: "that's why i choose a nurse practitioner for my family's primary care." david: "my np is accessible and takes the time to listen. i love my np." molly: "our np orders tests, makes the correct diagnoses and prescribes the medications we need." david: "my name is david and i choose an np." molly: "my name is

schools across the country are closed or set to close as my home state of kansas becomes the first date to shut down the schools for the rest of the calendar school academic year. ainsley: i'm sure other states will follo follow. that impacts 41 million students, with many of them stuck at home but could the extra time with the family, could it be a good thing? is there a silverlining. brian: our next guest knows how to deal with the full house, father of seven, good friend of the show, former patriot's tight end, it's only been about a month, ben watson. welcome back. >> good morning. brian: before we get into your life at home, give us the ages of your kids. >> are you ready? we have an 11-year-old girl, a 9-year-old girl, an 8-year-old boy, soon to be 7-year-old boy in two days, a 4-year-old girl and then identical twin boys that are ten months old. we do have a full house. brian: to the point, now that they are home all at the same time, what have you done in terms of scheduling and school which is about to kick in? >> it's definitely been interesting, our oldest five go to school, they have two weeks off anyway for spring break but we were planning on this time be and often now as you mentioned before the break will extend much further into the month of april. yesterday i made an obstacle course in the basement had to run energy often i have them doing push-ups and set ups. i watched frozen three or four times, and we did vacation bible school and went to the book of genesis. were doing stuff all the time and is still a little cold in boston so going outside is not much of an option as maybe somewhere down south. but the great thing, were able to spend time with family, families all across the country doing the same thing and we would get through this together. ainsley: why is it so important to spend this time with family. >> if you think about it, we run a very fast-paced society, a lot of times we don't come home and eat together for dinner, we don't eat breakfast together in the morning because we all have different schedules, if anything this virus is making families look at each other in the face instead of at each other on facetime or text message which is become communicating and engaging with other people. especially when it comes to the family, the family being so important and how to deal with conflict and as parents is vitally important that were involving their lives and sometimes you have to have a virus to make us all do so. ainsley.steve: this would be ova couple months but i would not be surprised of people in the future look back as family units and say, remember the time we were held up together in the house for a couple of weeks and remember how we started playing monopoly and we played cards and they did not look at my phone once in a day. >> traditions are sometimes made in crisis. and even some traditions that we had that we take for granted sometimes, those are made in times when things like this happen, just like yesterday my wife was telling the kids you guys know you'll be reading about covid-19 in history books at some point in the future. kids will be doing book reports on this in the next generation for your grandkids will say where you alive during the take and we will say yes. there's a lot of good that can come through this, our hearts go out to those who are suffering and we also made it a point to pray for those families and pray for the country and the leadership no matter what side you stand on. because they need wisdom in how to deal with the. ainsley: you really got thrown into retirement. no one is in school. >> it is crazy but it's good. we have a crazy household, we have to break up fights sometimes in those fights with everybody, anytime you with somebody for a long time the can happen. ainsley: they save divorce rates will go up after all of this or there will be a baby boom. brian: they say it's the other person's fault. i got a look into the study. what if somebody gives you a call and ask you to come out of retirement, you are retiring but at the same time tom brady is taken off his uniform and going to tampa, are you really retire? and number two, what is your feeling about tom brady no longer being on the patriots and about to sign with tampa bay today. >> let me answer your first question, yes, i am retired. it was a long process and it's been 16 years. i put my whole life into becoming the best player that i can be. the decision it's not easy but when everybody has to make it some point. everybody has to move on to something also some point in their lives before they expire. that's what were also seen with tom. being here his last year end having the conversations about family like we just talked about and now seen him move on to what is going to be tampa i'm happy for him, i'm happy he's able to make this decision that's best for him and is going to a place where he's going to have a new challenge. sometimes that's what people want and need and at the same time we saw his love for the community in massachusetts and the entire new england fan bases. there will be plenty more parades when he decides to come back after tampa, his legacy is here and not only to football but because of who we is. ainsley.steve: don't be surprisf they call him the top of a buccaneers. >> university got that phrase. steve: 30 here on

>> that's a huge step forward, something we invested in ten years ago but the reimbursement has been slow to follow, we believe the atrium health it is a solution for rural care and serving underserved especially to the rural communities, we do believe it's a great strategy for lowering the cost of care. the big barrier nationally to that has been reimbursement for the visits. this is a great step forward, i applaud them for taking the step. but what i would ask is that we don't in the reimbursement and those things with the end of the coronavirus situation we are in now. but that it continues to we can continue to invest in the technology to deliver this to our patient. ainsley: thank you so much for all that you do, thank you for being so wonderful to my mom, she was there for a very long time and you were so great. >> it is our pleasure and thank you for having us. ainsley: god bless you all. it is a summary and seen, churches, look at that, empty. that is on a sunday morning, empty across the nation, how do we keep the faith during times like this, the bishop of new york joins us live next with a message of faith. that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. try neuriva for 30 days and see the difference. are you currently using a whitening toothpaste, but not seeing results? try crest 3d whitestrips. its enamel-safe formula lifts and removes stains to provide 100% noticeably whiter teeth or your money back. try crest 3d whitestrips. >> there is an eeriness that we used to see in this church, this magnificent church jammed with people, jesus tells us in the gospel, do not be afraid, be not afraid and we are not. we know we are one nation under god and god is with us. ainsleysteve: be not afraid, yoe timothy in the archbishop of new york streaming from st. patrick's cathedral, right now even though he's only about three blocks away, he is appearing by skype because her social distancing. good morning to you. >> good morning, thank you for the invitation. i miss seeing you, i love your company and love being on the show. and those bagels that you have in the back. thank you for the report on what are you calling it virtual healthcare? ainsley: telehealth care telemedicine. >> what a great boost for all of us. i want to use that soy don't have to stand on the scale at the doctor's office. [laughter] brian: what was it like standing on the altar by yourself. >> it was extraordinarily eerie. what happens, because the mass is for the people, the sacraments, the worship, it is all for the benefit of the souls of god's people. so to be there by yourself, thank god i was surrounded by brother priests, but it was very eerie. however, you know what happened, it allowed me to renew the faith that the church is always held that we are never alone when we pray, were always with god, were always with an angels and saints of heaven, were always with one another. what we call the communion of saints. because thank god, a lot of them were listening in on lifestream in our catholic radio and catholic faith network. i said you are all with us and however, long we pray, that's important to remember because a lot of people feel so isolated, scared that there by themselves, who do i call, how do i get out and just to know that god is with us. one of the most ancient titles we give to the lord from our jewish brothers and sisters is emmanuel. god is with us. that is always good to remember that in these troubling days. steve: is there anything in the church's history where you essentially turned off the churches because we are getting close to the end of the lenten season in easter which is one of the biggest days on the liturgical calendar and yet we might not be able to go to church. >> you are right, this is scary. on the other hand, thank you for bringing up lent, that is the time the church to grow closer to christ on the cross so we can rise with him to new life at easter. so usually we talk about prayer, acts of sacrifice and self-denial, acts of charity to other people. my lord, we don't have to take on extras this year. the situation that we are in is providing it, then we are praying harder, we have to sacrifice going out, going shopping, going to work, going to school, being with friends and were called to more vigorous acts of charity and concern to others. so we have a built in lent. you did ask if there were precedents, there would be. i was looking at london during the bombing of the second world war when the bishop said we have to close the churches because we don't need tantalizing targets, the big one that comes to mind would be the black plague of the middle ages. i don't know if you saw because i was happy you carried it, you saw the visit of pope francis to the church of the via del corso. was in a strange to see the streets of rome empty. no cars, at least they were safe. but then he went to the church because they are the roman people interact with the cross that was used in the black plague that jesus on the cross people went to him for healing and protection a network. so that was a precedent two. brian: people after 9/11 wanted a certain reassurance, does that help you out all to understand what is going to be coming at you as people get worried about their paychecks, do people live paycheck to paycheck especially this is a press conference and wonder if that will help them feed their family tomorrow? how does that change your dog? >> it changes it a lot. you are right were all liste log for precedents. i was in new york and 9/11 and i hired new yorkers from afar, i was still home in st. louis and of course i was here for sandy, those were some analogies that we got that even those are different because as bad as they were they were older and you could begin to renew and rebuild. this we don't know when it's going to be over, how we peaked will get worse, will it get better? who knows. so there seems to be an increased amount of apprehension, that does give us time in answer to your inquiry, that does give us time to prepare so were already looking, i know our catholic charities with the health workers, our catholic schools are parishes, were already beginning to say what will we need in the future, what kind of help will our people need, what insurances and encourages will they need. and i got a call from a priest later today how can we strategize how can we best serve and help our people not only now but in the future which will be challenging. ainsley: this morning, we have been reporting on this so much, and my faith is extremely important to me as it is many people who are watching and many here. what do you say to people, i was looking on social media trying to find, i went to some websites and social media sites to find a message to help call me and remind me that god is still in control and jesus is in control. will you put out messages so we can get them daily and what is your message for us if were feeling fearful or thinking about our elderly parents or elderly and watching and scared. >> way to go, you articulated what many people are feeling. i put out -- we put out a daily message, we still have mass, at 7:00 a.m. and saint patrick, we understand hundreds and thousands of people are looking in at that. were all turned into one another. two things come to mind, you will be surprised that there to words of jesus. one word is not worry, don't worry, it's a beatable distinction between worry and concern. jesus wants us to be concerned, he does not want us to worry, worry is counterproductive, worry is a sin against hope which tells us everything will work together for the good of those who believe. there is one word of jesus, do not worry. the other phrase in thank you and refer to this to the sermon last sunday, jesus says do not be afraid. do not be afraid. somewhere between panic and an attitude of let's not do anything, what we call via media, the philosophers and the saints say that news -- between we don't want to be panicky but then we don't want to be frivolous about this, we want to be concerned and we don't want to given. somebody wrote me and said how often that phrase do not be afraid, the imperative, it's in the old testament, jewish scriptures from god the father and his son our lord and savior jesus christ repeated in the new testament, be not afraid, 365 times in the bible. ainsley: one for every day. >> bingo. as the catholic expression. you got it. one for every day, the lord almost new that we needed to be reminded every day, we need to be reminded ten times a day, this is what jesus tells us in our faith directs us to. do not worry, take precautions but don't panic and be not afraid. brian: i know you have a radio show and you're used to taking calls pray how about some questions. >> you bet, is this jeopardy. [laughter] brian: i don't have daily double but i have a single from karen, why cancel mass and sacraments, it seems like more now than ever we need a priest offer more masses. that is not your call right? >> in a way it is, she has a good point and we went back and forth about this forever. on the one hand, you can argue this is what we need the mass and sacraments in most, when we as a church as a moral obligation to provide that. and we also have a moral obligation to protect the health and well-being of our people and when experts call us, please we don't need 1000 people in one place. please for the sake of your people's health would you cancel the masses. i have a moral obligation to listen to that. it is important to, while the church buildings may be closed, the church with the c-uppercase-letter, the church, the presence of jesus in the world today, what a stronger than ever, what the church does is not limited as important as that is so prayer and charity and devotion interest in turning to the bible, gathering your own family to intercede with the lord in protection and guidance. that work goes on and even though our church buildings may be closed, we priest are still on duty, we respond to the sick, visiting the shut-ins and anointing those for the sacrament in the confessions that do ring them holy communion. the work of the church goes on even though the building sadly might be close. by the way most of our pastors are opening up the church buildings for individual visits and i'm told that they are. that means that any given time there may be a dozen people scattered throughout the church. we cannot open -- i'm eager for the day that we can. steve: i have a text message from tony and kristi who are watching. they had a question for you. in times of despair and uncertainty with so many people at home and out of work, what is your advice to everyone at home right now, where is god in all of this? >> so many people are going through that tony and christine you've done a service in bringing about. we need to turn the question, where is god. we have to remove the? and we need to replace it with! god is here. and we need to accept the invitation of jesus who says fear is useless and what is needed is trust and simply say lord i'm kind of scared, i'm having a tough time figured out what's going on, i'm worried about my grandparents and my mom and my job and where the next paycheck is coming on. one thing i do not have to worry about is the fact that you are here with me and while i continue to work hard and be concerned, i realize that ultimately everything is in your providential hands and everything works together for the good of those who believe. yesterday -- you can remember the irish never forget the years 1845 - 1851 when 3 million irish starved to death from the famine. in the irish and came here never forgot that and they will always say god got us through and in many ways irish in the united states say god delivered us to the promised land. they would look back and say that thomas faith, resilience, taught us caring for one another and taught us that to see that never happens again. steve: we have just one minute left because the churches are closed, would you like to give a one minute sermon to the folks watching right now? >> sure, i would, thank you. would you have a bagel delivered over here. [laughter] listen everybody, we are in this together. i love the phrase one nation under god. we have acknowledged that we are one under god, what do we make it an act of faith that he is our father, we are his children, we turn to him for care and protection and we turn to one another for brothers and sisters. from what i see, thank you for doing that. our physicians, healthcare workers, politicians, lord knows i criticize them enough sometimes on your show i think they're doing a grand job. you all running this program, thank you, your keeping us posted, you're bringing us together. so we say to the lord, we are worried, we believe you're here, where one nation under god, thank you and stay with us. brian: the most natural broadcaster on skype i've ever seen. your personality shines right there. ainsley: where can we watch every day? >> joe is here and i'm glad. we have live stream saint patrick, how do they access that? >> st. patrick's cathedral.org. >> exim 129 in the catholic faith network. ainsley: we will find you. thank you cardinal. >> maybe my ratings will go up.
