At about 6 trillion. Hello, welcome to fox news night, im Shannon Bream in washington. To netware following the story from all angles. Let us correspond to kevin corke examines the president s plan trying to get things together and begin resurrecting the u. S. Business community at least in some way by easter sunday. Tonight, Mark Meredith is watching us things are playing out over on capitol hill. Mark, a lot of backandforth, do we have any action . Good evening, a lot of backandforth and its still unclear at this hour when the senate may vote on this massive stimulus package. Both parties have repeatedly said that they were close to a deal but negotiations, they are still ongoing. We have not seen a final breakdown of whats actually in the senate bill but heres what we believe things stand right now. That bill, goading the onetime stimulus checks based on your income, 300 plus billion dollars for Small Businesses to keep their payroll going, 500 billion in loans for impacted industries and 250 billion for expanded on employment. Those numbers could change, chad pergram says lawmakers will likely work overnight tonight to draft specific language for the bill once they have a deal but some senators are clearly getting fed up with the process. Theres a time of money in this bill for people who need it, but what were doing now is ever special Interest Group in town is trying to get a little bit more. Knuckling and timing. House and Senate Republicans have blamed nancy pelosi for the delay in getting abella there. House democrats picks their own package which included several provisions democrats offering up increased money for the stimulus checks, additional money for education initiatives, increased money for food stamp assistance and money to modernize federal technology. But there were some more controversial ideas that were floated out there including money for the u. S. Postal service, 100 million in grants to combat violence against women, 35 million for the kennedy senator and money to create higher blood aircraft. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended our proposal early today on cnn. I do think there is a whole concern in our country that if are giving tens of billions of dollars to the airlines that they could at least have a shared value about what happens to the environment. Speaker pelosi says the bill the white house or maines optimistic ideal can be reached. We heard from the president a positivist top Economic Advisor earlier tonight. The largest mainstream financial package in the history of the United States, liquidity and cash for families, Small Business, individuals, unemployed to keep this thing going. We are heading for a rough period but its only going to be weeks we think, weeks and months, its not going to be years, thats for sure. Its unclear at this point how the house will consider the package after the senate tackled this. Its possible to house may try to pass this by voice vote, which means most numbers would not fly back to d. C. To take part, but shana, things change are pretty much every hour, we will keep watching. Shannon they do, and you featured senator lindsey graham. I talked to him on the phone not long ago and i said why are you so upset, what happened on the floor today and he said it was that information in a couple of Different Things but he said one of the things the democrats it continued to push for repealing the Hyde Amendment essentially or at least allowing some funding for abortion to flow from federal tax dollars which is for up to currently bart, thats one of the sticking points tonight. We will keep following it. It is a delicate balance between protecting the Public Health and also irreparably damaging the Worlds Largest economy. The president calls that fine line crossover line. So tonight let us correspond to kevin corke is taking a look and digging into all of that, hey, kevin. One way or another, sooner or later the u. S. And indeed the world will get back to work, but just trust and this will happen as a matter of intense debate. Especially right here in washington. From wall street to main street, it was music to american ears. A record single day percentage jump on the corner of wall and broad. A glimmer of hope that lawmakers in washington would finally agree on a coronavirus stimulus package to rescue the u. S. Economy. You can just come in and say lets just close of the United States of america, the biggest, the most successful country in the world, by far. But the white house, a fierce debate over just how soon the American Economy could or should get back to business as usual. The president made it clear today that he wants congress to pass the stimulus package so americans can get the help they need and then get back on the job as soon as possible. We have to put the country to work. Look, youre going to lose a number of people to the flu, but youre going to lose more people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression. For the president its an intricate highstakes dilemma balancing the need to slow the spread of the virus nationwide with the need to protect the u. S. Economy from a calamitous ball, which if shuttered for too long could happen. And while he has used easter as a possible target date to get things moving again, members of his Coronavirus Task force insist hes listening to their advice above all else. The president listens to fauci come he listens to dr. Burks, he listens when i or dr. Carson or dr. Hahn or dr. Redfield speak up. He also listens to the governors. So we will assess at the end of the 14 days and we will figure out the most appropriate thing to do. A growing challenge given that the number of cases top 52,000 today. Nearly half in new york and nearly 800 have already died from the virus. Dr. Adams, shannon, also wanted to remind americans that even those who do contract this virus listen, 9895 of them are still recovering them so that is encouraging news. Still the battle continues to slow the virus and get the u. S. Economy back on track, shannon. Shannon those are important numbers to remember. Thank you so much. Okay, so two months and one day after locking on the city at the center of the entire coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese Government says it is not signaling an end to the outbreak there in wuhan, as skeptics question whether we can actually trust the chinese p. R. Push. Correspondent jeff paul has the very latest for us tonight, hey, jeff. Shannon, starting on april 8th, which is about two weeks away, the lockdown that has crippled wuhan, china will be no more. A similar mattress will go wednesday in other cities in a hardhit province. Travel restrictions will be eased as a result of the reduction in cases in that area. Officials say theyve had zero new cases in five consecutive days. Thats down from the thousand a day during the hardest hit times. All thats happening though while cases in new york and other areas explode, Governor Andrew Cuomo saying cases there are doubling every three days and the World Health Organization is watching the situation closely in the u. S. To see how its changing. It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases. 11 days for the second hundred thousand cases. And just four days for the third 100,000 cases. The w. H. O. Also sing the u. S. Could become the next coronavirus epicenter. W. H. O. Officials saying because of a very large acceleration in infections theres potential for the u. S. To become the next hot spot. Over the past day or so, 85 of new cases have come from europe or the u. S. , 40 of which were from the u. S. Alone according to the w. H. O. The white house his coronavirus chlorinator dr. Debbie birx says the number and spikes in infections will be different depending on where you live in the country. Each state and each hot spot in the United States is going to be its own curve because the seeds came in a different time. So Washington State is on their curve, there about two weeks ahead of new york. As far as whats next for the u. S. , she says the only data they can learn from at this point is coming from china and south korea, those are both places that have already moved through their curve. Shannon. Shannon all right, jeff paul and our west coast newsroom, thank you, jeff. There was widespread agreement that [inaudible] the severity was happening with a coronavirus earlier but now the World Health Organizations world coming under the microscope two. The w. H. O. T has been criticized for not calling covid19 a pandemic soon enough and recently praised china for its handling of the virus. The current head from ethiopia and china is a major investor there, setting up factories where workers reportedly are going for all kinds of grim working conditions. Ethiopias capital is known as the city that china built. So the pandemic has placed the who and the china firmly in the global spotlight, lets talk about it now with our gas and get some answers from the ranking member, congressman, great to have you with us. Thank you, shannon. I want to read something because you have pushed back hard and what you say is chinas Propaganda Campaign essentially trying to assign blame everywhere but them selves and you sent a letter to all of the major heads of the social Media Companies here in the u. S. Saying this. We cannot allow the strategic adversary to hijack the websites of u. S. Companys to flood users in the u. S. And around the world with propaganda and disinformation. But some of them have pushed back. The daily beast under the headline twitter says beijings coronavirus closet just fine says coronavirus disinformation spread by senior Chinese Government officials does not violate twitters terms of service. Thats what a spokesperson for the company told the daily beast, how do you respond . These are basically arms of the Chinese Communist party, the propaganda arm in the United States and around the world spreading information that the United States military was behind the coronavirus. And the reason why the Chinese Communist party not the people of china but the communist party, are doing this is because they are trying to cover up what really happens. In my view this as one of the worst coverups in human history. And it started, you know in the first week of december. And it went on ten to january, the w. H. O. , as you talked about, patted them on the back for their efforts. And yet we can see what is happening. Now we have a Global Pandemic that originated out of wuhan. They allowed millions of people to come through wuhan to celebrate their spring festival. 5 million of them leaving the area and traveling domestically and abroad. They went into laboratories and shut them down, destroyed laboratory samples. And they detained eight of the doctors trying to speak the truth about what really happened. In wuhan, one of them actually died from coronavirus after hed been detained and pled guilty to misdemeanor charge. This is a systematic whitewash of what the communist party has done in china to try to cover up what they have what has happened, which is now wreaking havoc all across the world causing not only the lives of many people, but also economic chaos. Shannon yeah, thats what were dealing with with now, over on the hill we await as we are continually told over and the senate this thing is on a 5yard line, its on the 2yard line. They still havent gotten it together over there and there are concerns on all sides, you know, as imagined earlier, talked to senator graham not long ago he said there are provisions about abortion funding and all kinds of things that members keep coming back to him, democrats saying 95 billion more for this or 20 billion for this raise basically saying to the white house, paul secretary Steven Mnuchin and tell them the deal is over. How does it get done . This is not a time for partisan games. Trying to get all the grab bag items into the candy jar, if you will, this is a time when americans want us to come together, republican, democrat, and do whats best for the United States and right now we have to pass a bill that helps our workers out there, helps our Small Businesses, helps our hospitals and if we fail to do that because we want to score political points, shame on us. I very much hope we have a bill passed in the senate this week and the house will convene later to pass this. This is what the American People want and demand out of us. Shannon house beacon is a pelosi when she was confronted with some of these things, whether its Climate Change with the makeup of corporate boards Carbon Emissions from jets, all these kinds of things, she said everything that the democrats are put together in the house vehicle thats come together is actually related to the fight against covid19. Heres what she said. Everything we are suggesting just relates to covid19. Its not about making its not changing policy except as it applies here. Shannon okay, so congressman, how do you reply to that explanation from the speaker . I mean, how can you tell me the Green New Deal is tied to coronavirus, labor unions tied to coronavirus, how is the Kennedy Center funding is much as we like to perform performing arts, how was that tied to coronavirus . This is her being influenced by her far left, you know, the squad, trying to put in all of the goodies that she wants into a bill. Its not going to work because its not going to get through the senate, its not going to be signed into law by the president , so lets be serious about this, about a bill that we can pass in the house, it will be passed by the senate and the white house, i think Steven Mnuchin is working very hard, i think schumer and mcconnell have been working very hard and i know they are getting close to a deal and thats what we very much want, but going back to china, if i can. If we cant stop the root cause of this problem, and it happened with sars, with bird flu and now its happening with coronavirus out of these Wildlife Animal markets, they trap endangered species, poach them and sell them in these life markets and that is what mutates the viruses and jumps species into humans. For god sakes, if the w. H. O. Cannot condemn this unsanitary practice and shut it down once and for all, we are going to be talking about this problem for years to come. Shannon yet. Hopefully there are a lot of lessons and changes that come. Around the world in her home. Congressman, thank you for your time. Thanks, shannon. Shannon were going to go for a little bit on where the heck things stand at this point. Tonight new york city is being called the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak here in the u. S. Correspond at Rick Leventhal reporting tonight once again from the near silent streets of manhattan, hey. Good evening, anyone wonder why new york city is the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic, why there are so many more cases here than anywhere else in america, just look at the density. This city has 28,000 residents per square mile. Its far more crowded than any other major city in the United States. Thats why authorities believe all those people in this tight space have helped spread the virus much more quickly and why they are so concerned about social distancing, about people keeping at least 6 feet apart from each other and why they are so worried about the Health Care System being overloaded and breaking down. There are now more than 26,000 confirmed cases in new york state and nearly 16,000 in new york city with 245 deaths. One in 1,000 new yorkers are affected, eight to ten times the average. To everyone who is left new york over the last few days, because of the raid of the number of cases, you may have bt new york and i think like Governor Desantis has put out today, everybody who was in new york should be self quarantining for the next 14 days to ensure that the virus doesnt spread to others. Authorities are suggesting that the citys hospitals could run out of personal protective gear in a week with the shortage of masks, gloves, gowns, ventilators and hospital beds. During the white house announced it sending 73 pallets of equipment to new york including millions of masks and will also send 4,000 of the much needed ventilators, but authorities here say they need 30,000 ventilators, warning that tough life or death decisions could be near because this is not Getting Better anytime soon. We are doing all weekend just to get through march right now. Particularly in terms of our Health Care System. April will unquestionably will be worse than march. And right now my fear is that many could be worse in april. Thats the reality we are facing. I think the notion that we could be quote unquote back to normal in the month of april is absolutely inconceivable at this point. So the shelter in place orders take on greater significance now not just for new yorkers here but for new yorkers who leave here because they may have picked up the virus and not know it yet. Shannon. Shannon were going to talk more about that coming up because they would gone to a lot of places from there, Rick Leventhal, thank you. So the presi
