Can mothers pass this virus on to their children . Doctor Manny Alvarez is live to answer questions from expecting moms. Just what do we do . The reporter who just found out the hard way what it is really like working from home, coming back. As the pandemic disrupt daily life for all americans pregnant women face doing societies and restrictions on the deliveries as hospitals crackdown on visitors and new cases of illness boards are making headlines. Theres slim to know data on our covid19 impact expecting moms. Joining us is Fox News Contributor doctor Manny Alvarez, thanks for coming on. A nervous time for everybody, really nervous time if you are pregnant. Which expecting moms you worried about right now . I think what they should know is this is a virus that is not transmitted into the fetus that you can get the coronavirus yourself, theres less likely that the baby will be affected, there is no data to support that, no virus has been found in amniotic fluid or stuff like that so that is good but you have to be careful because if you do get the coronavirus youre dealing with not only the pregnant patient but the second patient which is the baby. Shannon there are a lot of concerns, this is a mother who says waiting for the other shoe to drop, your spouse or one visitor will be allowed in waiting for the other shoe to drop and heres another concern from an expected mother. We dont know a lot about this virus but it seems to worsen daily. That is a concern for a lot of people. My husband or part or significant other be able to be in the hospital with me . I have to do this alone . That is one of the things we began to do way back. I am part of one of the largest departments in the country in the new york area so when we started looking at the incidents of coronavirus among pregnant women we didnt see a lot three or four weeks ago but now we are seeing a lot. It goes from the mild case of coronavirus to the most severe so that you have all spectrums. In the midst of all that the decisions had to be made on a daytoday basis and you cite in new york city last week when they came out with a strong restriction on visitors because not only did you have the problem that most of the hospital embedded with coronavirus patients in general and medical staff needs to be protected along with patients that come in with routine care so they dont get sick in the hospital and that is why they made those decisions but everybody realized if you stuck to one visitor which is the policy and most hospitals in the tristate area where that visitor gets vetted to make sure they dont have symptoms of coronavirus accompanying the patient, they stay with the patient, dont goes whether floors, are wearing masks, we minimize potential exposure not only to that individual but to the healthcare workers and other patients so it is working out well. The patients are appreciating it. Rob should i consider a home birth with all the coronavirus concerns in hospitals . I dont think so. It is not a very logical thing to do. Home birth, sometimes people do it, there are protocols to allow that to happen but you always have to have a backup when you do a home birth. Right now the backup is compromised. You have ambulances, emt personnel doing other things so if you have a complication you may find yourself not getting the help you need on time and ending up in a situation where the place might be crowded youre going into. This is not the time to experiment, this is the time to get organized and do the right thing. From ashley, you touched on the first part of this but im curious your answer to the second, ashley says this a mother is positive, the virus can be passed during birth or through breast milk, what do you think of that for moms who might consider breastfeeding . We dont discourage breastfeeding with patients that have the coronavirus. Breastmilk is one of the strongest nutrients to provide the newborn with a lot of immunoglobulins and antibodies that are transmitted from mother to child and that is a positive thing to do. The methodology is different. If the patient is coronavirus positive and very symptomatic after birth we may decide or at least suggest she pumps, and the milk be given separate from the proximity to the mother but if they are positive, we make them wear protective mask and they can breastfeed directly to the baby. Its not about the milk, it is about whether or not you are going to minimize the contagion from the mother to the newborn which is now not protected by being in the womb.

Florida farmers across the state and across this nation work to ensure this nation has an adequate food supply. Whether it is adverse conditions like hurricanes, floods, natural disasters and such and now with covid19. We are looking at winter production of fruits and vegetables, green beans and cucumber and lettuce, tomatoes, blueberries and watermelons and citrus and this production. We also have essential barriers livestock, 47,000 farms in different commodities. Rob some of my favorite fruits and vegetables come from florida. I understand the pain of the Tourism Industry may be why you have surplus, youre not sending so much to hotels. Absolutely. Weve seen major shifts in other supply chains, think the restaurants and hotels in the Tourism Industry, school closures, nutrition programs and farmers markets all have a trickledown effect on production agriculture. Couple that with an influx of products being imported from Foreign Countries primarily mexico. Now is the time to support your local community, your local farmer. Usa products fresh from florida whenever possible. Rob talk about the stimulus package, a nice chunk of that, 23 billion went to farmers hurt by this pandemic. What do you make of the number and how the president is helping your industry . It is essential it this time for our producers to keep america productive. These supplements are well needed. As we go into spring plantings across the nation and farmers unsure of their ability to sell their product once they grow it we will continue to produce and if there is not something to shore up our farms we are going to be looking at bigger problems. If we dont have enough Food Production that is the rationale behind all the supplemental money. You guys cannot quarantine. You are still out there working and we really appreciate it. We wish you and all the farmers the best and thanks for keeping us fed. Rob donald trump sending a strong warning to iran. Im giving them a warning.
