Steve they were so lucky to be able to get in there, anxiously. Fire started down the street over 200,000 people are still without power this morning. Four states under both a covid19 and Severe Weather emergency as well. Janice dean joins us. She is tracking the storms where they could hit later on today, and she joins us. Janice, i read one report that 1. 3 Million People are without electricity this morning all the way from texas right up through pennsylvania. Janice yeah. We had incredible winds across the northeast and the midatlantic as the apparent low pressure system moved across the great lakes and northeast with wind gusts of 81 Miles Per Hour. So, an incredible system. We still have the tail end of the cold front that is stationed across florida and georgia. So we will still have the threat for, you know, not the outbreak we saw over the last couple of days but hail, isolated tornadoes with that stalled boundary. Look at the tornado reports, over 80 organization are i 880. The National Weather service has to go out and assess the damage. Thats going to take a lot of time. Taking a look at april alone, so we are into the 13th day of april, and already close to 100 reports of tornadoes. The peak season is april and may. So we still have quite a few weeks to go. And it looks like we could see the potential for more Severe Weather in the coming weeks. Now, in terms of what the National Weather service will do. They will go out and assess the damage. Some of those homes were completely wind off their foundation. So i think we are probably going to see some major catastrophic damage with some of these tornadoes reports, ef4, ef 5, which means winds of 166 to 200 mileperhour plus winds. Just incredible outbreak we saw on Easter Sunday and yesterday. Look at the wind gust we saw yesterday in the northeast. 60, 70, 80 Miles Per Hour. Thats Hurricane Force wind gusts for areas across new jersey. New york. And connecticut. The worth of it is over. We still have stalled frontal boundary across portions of florida and georgia. And that could bring the potential later on today for those stronger storms. Just be on alert. If you live in these regions. The worst of it really is over with, thank goodness. The cleanup begins and obviously with what we are dealing with our pandemic just makes this so much worse this morning. Steve, anxiously, brian, back to you. Brian all right. Janice. Thanks so much. That on top of this. President trump touting the hard work of americans in flattening the curve to beat covid19. Listen. Hospitalizations are slowing in hot spots like new york, new jersey, michigan and louisiana. Americans are following the guidelines. Its been incredible what they have done. Brian cases in the u. S. Topping 582,000 with 23,000 deaths. Recoveries are 4400. And the curve is pending shall governors look to take matters into their own hands regionally at least in two separate places. Right, griff . Griff thats right, brian, anxiously, steve, good morning. Here we go. A debate is emerging over who decides when the economy reopens the president prepares to release guidelines in the formation of a now council focused on the economy. Its him not those state governors who makes the final call. When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. With that being said. Were going to work with the states because its very important. We have local government that hopefully will do a good job. If they dont do a good job i will step in so fast. But no, they cant do anything without the approval of the United States. Griff this after collisions from coast to coast announced regional plans reopening in the northeast. Andrew cuomo said his state has turned the corner announced partnership, new jersey, pennsylvania, rhode island and massachusetts. Seven account for more than 325,000 cases and more than 60 of the nations deaths. Cuomo disagrees with the president s claim of authority. He did work cooperatively with this state and other states thats why i dont understand why you would pivot at this point to this aggressive hostile suggestion of total authority of the federal government and abandon the Partnership Cooperation that he started by praising. Griff on the west coast gavin newsom announced a similar pac that consists of california, organize and washingtooregon an. A vision of reopening no. Timeline announced by any state. The president previously mentioned may 1st as a possible target dated but thats of course more of a hope or a goal if you will as he continues to listen to his Health Officials on that process. Brian, ainsley, steve . Brian i should correct myself i said 4400. I should have said 44,000 recoveries. Hopefully that number will continue to grow, ainsley. Ainsley i was watching that press briefing yesterday that im sure you guys saw it. The president comes out. This is like something i have never seen before. He played a video in the middle of the press conference of the timeline. The media is criticizing him for all of his faults. He said, look, you are the ones that down played this risk. And so he played a timeline of what he said back in january, what he said in february. And then what the media was saying in january. What the media was saying in february and into march. And it was pretty powerful, a powerful moment. He talked about how there was a clip in there from Governor Cuomo. There was a clip in there from the governor of california of gavin newsom praising him for his efforts and they were all working together. So, fauci was actually asked because there was that retweet that the president did yesterday or the day before, i believe, saying that fire fauci. He retweeted a tweet and then at the end it said fire fauci. So, he commented on that, listen to this. The first and only time that dr. Birx and i went in and formally made a recommendation to the president to actually have a, quote, shutdown in the sense of not really shutdown but to really have strong mitigation we discussed it. Obviously there would be concern by some that, in fact, that might have some negative consequences. Nonetheless, the president listened to the recommendation and went to the mitigation. Are you doing this voluntarily or is the president everything i do is voluntarily. Please. Dont even imply that. Steve dont even imply that he said right there. Dr. Fauci was responding to the fact that on sunday he was asked on cnn a hypothetical question about how had we started social distancing earlier more lives would be saved. He walked back earlier every time he went to the president , the president said okay lets do what you said. In the end where he was talking about was it voluntary. Brit hume had this observation about that. The implication of the question was that he was doing this under duress, he had a gun to his head. He was not being honest. Dr. Fauci was obviously appalled by the question and did not welcome it and i frankly dont blame him and im not sure what the basis was for the reporter to ask the question. In this cynical atmosphere with this much dislike of this president , everything that redounds to his favor immediately treated as a lie. Ainsley brian, do you want to comment on that . Brian yeah, a couple things, if you read the headline you would think will if donald trump listened to me everybody would have lived. If you listen to the exchange between the two, that was not the case at all. He answered a hypothetical question if we did it earlier it would work Anthony Fauci not going to hit us. Late january same thing. Of course the president has to take contrary views. In if you do this the whole country shuts down like never before and if you dont do this on this side that 100,000 to 200,000 people will die. The president went in the middle and shutt it down as Anthony Fauci said and i have never seen a look on his faces a angry and disdainful as he got for that cbs reporter. You know me, no one would ever force me to do it. I think he closed the book on this. People refused to write that story, ainsley. Ainsley the new York Governor Andrew Cuomo cautiously optimistic about his states progress in fighting the coronavirus. Listen to this. I believe the worse is over if we continue to be smart. And i believe we can now start on the pat to normalcy. And we can have a plan when you start to see some businesses reopening, understanding the delicate balance. Brian. Steve well, Governor Cuomo did Say Something people wanted to hear he declared the worse is over if the state stays the course as new york topped 10,000 deaths. Does hard hit Nassau County out on long island, new york, agree with that . Brian joining us right now in Nassau County is the executive in charge laura curren. County executive thank you so much for joining us. I know you have had your hands full. We had Steve Bellone on yesterday. He has his hands full as well. When you heard talking about bending the curve down especially with hospitalizations. Do you say i agree or thats not the case in Nassau County . The numbers that i have been watching are the comparison between people leaving the hospital, Covid Patients being discharged and those come in. And for 8 days in a row now we have seen more leaving than new Covid Patients coming in. That tells me we are in a plateau. And it really is time now to start thinking about how we come back to normal. Thats what im hearing from my constituents. This obviously, while we are confronting and dealing with and managing the health crisis. I talk to Hospital Executives all the time managing ppe. Making sure our First Responders have what they need, those people on the front lines, we also need to start we cant procrastinate thinking how we come back. This is taking a terrible economic toll. We have 100,000 residents on long island who dont have a job right now. Im talking to Business Leaders regularly who are in tears having to lay people off. People they know whose families are dependent on that paycheck. Ainsley yeah, laura, as you know brian and i live in your county right here on long island now. We are seeing all the businesses close. The governor, the president , theyre working together to try to reopen the government. This is what our governor here in new york said about that yesterday. Doing in coordination with the other states in the area and doing it as cooperative effort where we learn from each other. And we share information and we share resources and we share intelligence. Steve there he is talking go ahead, ainsley, your question. Ainsley i wanted to get her reaction. I could not agree more. When i was listening in before i came on and the bickering thats happening, people dont want to hear bickering. People want to hear people in charge working together for the common good. Coming up with solutions, putting politics, putting ego aside and working together for combating the house crisis and then how do we begin to reopen . Ainsley amen. Lets think about what reopens first. The fact that we are working together regionally is incredibly important. Nassau county. Sure we are suburban county east of northeast. We are part of this vibrant, important, metropolitan region, economic region. We have to work in concert with our partners. Steve right. I think thats exactly right, laura. As we have heard from the administration and from the governors as well. You know, the president has the ambitious goal and im sure the Business Leaders that you talk to would love to see the country reopen on may 1st. However, there are hot spots. And new york is a hot spot. While the middle part of the country might be okay to open, regionally you have to figure out it cant just be new york doing something. Its got to be connecticut. Its got to be new jersey. I get both sides of the story. I do, too. I do, too. And thats why we have to begin to think about reopening. What can reopen first . Schools are a very important part of this. If you are talking about reopening schools. Thats key to reopening commerce and the economy and getting people back to work. It has to be done in concert. We cant procrastinate. We have to start putting plans in place now. Life will find its balance. This crisis will end. And we want to emerge from this stronger, not weaker. Brian exactly. County executive. If i could walk into a cvs or write aid i if i could do it in a stationery store. I could do it iif i can do it it can i do it dry cleaner there is a way forward. Hopefully they will listen to you. You understand the county better than anybody else. I appreciate you coming on with us today. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Brian all right. Coming up straight ahead. Gyms and health clubs hurting among the pandemic. The next guest says the 2 trillion stimulus is a good start. Go inside the regulations if you really want to stand up fitness gyms and restaurants. Crunch gym person Franchise Owner joins us next. This is our home. Weve never seen it look quite like this, but theres no mistaking it. And its our job to protect it. Because the best people to fight for our communities are those within them.

Music brian Health Clubs Gyms across the country forced to close because of the coronavirus. You know that already. Congress approved 350 billion to help Small Businesses survive like them, right . The next guest says it does too little to help the health club under the current demand. A seth, he joins us now. You are forced to close. Still got to pay the lease and leasing the equipment. Now this loan comes into play. Will it help . Its a very good well, first, thank you very much for having me. Very glad to be here and talk about this critical topic. Its a really good and really appreciated first step. But there is a formula being used right now to determine forgiveness on the loan. And that formula doesnt work for health clubs. As you mentioned, we are forced to close first forced to close. Its going to be some time before we ever allowed to reopen. And when we reopen were not sure what that is going to look like. The formula they put in for 75 of the funds utilized for payroll, within an 8 week period from funding it isnt really workable for the health club business. Brian you dont need more debt when you open up your door. Its got to be converted to a grant outside of the interest. If they tell you take 75 of the money we give you and put it toward your employees, it doesnt add up. You need almost 50 50 or some cases 6040. Walk into that bank. They cant tell you what it takes to run your business you have to tell them, right . Really appreciated first step. 50 is where payroll falls into operating expenses that kind of adjustment would be helpful. The 8 weeks from funding of the loan like i said, we are already closed right now. We have no clarity to when we are opening. And we dont know what it is going to be like. What limitations are placed upon us for maintaining social distancing when we reopen. So that 8week period is really not workable. I would much rather see that pushed towards 8 weeks from when we open. Even at that pushing it towards 20 weeks gives us that runway that we need to go from skeleton shifts to full operating like we were before. Brian right. So you are not being critical. You understand we never did anything like this before. You are not be critical of mnuchin or anybody else. You need to eyeball that banker and say this is what i need. He needs to listen to you and say i understand his numbers. If you want to make this work. You cant do it from the highfalutin mantel of washington, d. C. You not just talking your clubs you are talking about all clubs 74 Million Health club customers. 38 billion in revenue. 800,000 employees. This the is industry we are talking about. Very similar ratio with restaurants. So what you also are saying, too, i have to separate my equipment. I might have to stagger how many people can i fit in my health club. People might decide not to join. They have to take that into account, correct . Thats correct. Its going to be a long runway. We are going to get back to normal. We are going to get back to where we were but its going to take time. That 8 week period isnt work being. Whatever is not forgiven converted to two year pay back period. We would like to see that traditional loan for our business 10 year pay back period. Brian part time theory and instructors they have to employment more money. Unemployment so attractive a lot of them dont want their jobs back. They get paid more not to work which is your heart is in the right place but your mind is not, congress. That makes it hard toward retain employees, many of which are your friends. So you are not going to tell your friend take less money and do nothing and work for me so i can get this loan. You are going to tell them feed your family, get more money from unemployment. Final thought . Our big focus is on the longterm viability and sustainability of our business so we can pay those paychecks the far out into the future. Thats what we need. We need help. Brian you got it. And its possible. The money is there. The ratio isnt. And hopefully people are listening in washington. A satisfy best of luck. Hope you can hold on. Appreciate you thank you for having me on. Brian healthcare workers putting their lives on the line to fight the virus. Next guest thanking them for their service by servi
