Biggest a package and there is a lot to get to including new concerns about younger americans who could be passing the virus on to older people. We have team fox coverage standing by at the pentagon. Lets begin with chief white house correspondents. Every day when we have these coronavirus briefings you can see a little bit of an uptick and a little bit of a shift in terms of the response to secondary defense mark esper there is a president calls in the pentagon and ships mercy and comfort. They will be in the new york harbor to provide aid to those desperately needed hospital bed and president also signing the production act to wrap up the production of urgently needed medical. Chuck schumer is saying there is a desperate need of. And ventilators and things that help desperately ill people continue to breathe. Heres what the senator sat on the floor. Speak to a thing like this has never been requested and we have never even had to think in terms of these numbers but we need millions of masks and all of that will be ordered. We need respirators, we need ventilators which is a big thing because its a complex piece of equipment. We have a lot of ventilators but we are going to be ordering mo more. And the financial stimulus could top 1. 3 trillion. The Treasury Department is planning to send out checks to taxpayers in early april and then again in midmay. No word on how but they will be but there is talk that they could each be more than a thousand dollars. The airlines and other companies as well getting help. Is what the president said on that front. President trump it was nobodys fault that this happened. Somebody could say that it was somebodys fault, but it was nobodys fault. All of these things that could happen, we want to keep those comfrey mike company is vibrant because there is going to be come back very quickly as soon as this is solved. The president saying today for the first time that the United States is on a wartime footing when it comes to addressing the coronavirus. He does see himself as a wartime president. Dana there were other things that might come down the pike today including some new immigration restrictions. Any update . Yes the president told me today hes going to sign a major for something thats called 42 usc 265 which would allow him to turn back asylumseekers and people who cross the southern border illegally. Its a law thats been in place but i dont believe its ever been invoked before. You should expect to see the number of confirmed cases spike in the next few days as a big backlog of tests get put through the process now. Theyve got these procedures that can now test up to ten, up to 10,000 tests. There will be a spike in the number of cases but thats clearing out the backlog. She also said theres trouble in data of france and italy of a number of younger people who seem to have some sort of resistance to the virus now getting seriously ill and there is also a date greater degree of infection from surface contamination than anyone ever thought before so that really speaks to the idea of disinfecting your surroundings and not touching anything outside of the home without having some sort of protection or some way to disinfect the area. Dana john roberts of the fight, quite house, thank you. Now National CorrespondentJennifer Griffin is life. U. S. Navy officials tell me that hospital ship referenced by President Trump and new York Governor Andrew Cuomo will not be ready to arrive in new york until midapril at the earliest. It is undergoing repairs in norfolk, virginia after a sixmonth tour of south america. It efforts are being made to expedite the timeline according to u. S. Navy officials. Weve also alerted brady a field hospitals to be ready as needed based on the commander in chief. The u. S. Navy only has two hospital ships, each with about 1,000 bunks. One on the east coast and one on the west coast in san diego. The comfort and mercy will not be used for cobi a covid19 wilp relieve pressure on hospitals with trauma patients. Whether it is our field hospitals or hospital ships, they are focused on trauma. They dont necessarily have the segregated space that you need to deal with infectious diseases. Numbers he would have to sail through the panama canal and it could be ready in five days to set sail from san diego. The other problem is if the hospitals are in the new york harbor there would have to be a system in place tos screen trauma cases of hospital ships are not designed for quarantine. Dana what else is the u. S. Military doing to help . I know they will be gleaned on. The air force has flown half a million test kits from italy and the u. S. Has confirmed that those test kits have been delivered to the u. S. On bret aircraft. The number of u. S. Military confirmed covid19 cases doubled from monday through tuesday and is rising. As of this morning 49 Service Members tested positive, 14 dod civilians, 19 dependents and subcontractors. U. S. Navy ships are of particular concern as their infection rate could be similar to civilian cruise ships. Dana jennifer, i understand the pentagon is doing a briefing now and he will monitor that for us and stay in touch in case theres anything else to add a period dana as the coronavirus pandemic spreads around the world theres a new study that shows some majority of people infected could be Walking Around undetected. Great to have you here. So we know now that we have 7,300s 74 cases identified in the United States. We knew that number was going to go up. Theres been 115 deaths. What about this idea that there are younger people are coming down with that and being sick in france or italy, or they are possibly Walking Around with it undetected, could that come back and hurt them later . Im very concerned about that for a number of reasons. First of all they could spread it to others which would not just be about the testing but the actual spread of the virus. Second, we think about it even here, essential people are out on the streets and the chance of them getting infected where they dont have personal protective equipment is becoming higher. And third, people think they are safe and might have complications later they might also be part of that search for the hospital system. Dana the other thing is, of course life goes on and people have surgeries that they were planning or may be ones that they need. There are lots of things that happen to people. How are medical professionals handling those decisions right now . I think thats a major source of conflict even in the medical community. People are working together but what counts as elective is really unclear. People that are sick and the life support obviously thats an emergency. People who are going in for routine well visits, maybe you have some kind of abnormal finding on a test and you want to go get checked out, is that elective or not elective . For a lot of places, radiology sites and, then you cant tell them whether or not to come in so hopefully with these self logs of the president was talking about hopefully that will make decisions much clara. We want to tell us about the self swab. This can be promising if we get them up and going. I think it would be amazing if we could get that. People do tests all the time, think about home pregnancy test. If we have tests that people could do at home, get the results immediately then it would inform the decisionmaking because i think right now the danger is that people think they are healthy and they go out. If you find out that you actually test positive than he would be much more likely to protect the people around you so i think thats really where we have to spend a lot of effort. I think also that telemedicine that the president referred to is an important aspect of this because we are focusing on the people that are sick with the virus but there are a lot of people with other medical problems that really need to be treated. If they can be managed, if someone in new york can help someone out in arkansas then waving these licensing requirements and allowing people to do that is an important thing. Dana and allowing doctors to go across state lines which is something the president talked about today. Thank you so much for your time, we appreciate it. Coronavirus numbers soaring in the u. S. , cases confirmed in every state. Maryland governor joins us to tell us what hes doing to slow the spread of covid19 in his state come up. I dont add up the years. And i dont count the wrinkles.

Dana maryland as another state taking action to stop the spread of coronavirus. Of bars, restaurants, movie theaters and gyms are all shut down. The state is postponing its primary from april 28th through june 2nd. Join me now is governor larry hogan. Governors are certainly in the front lines of the way the system works and i think it works pretty well. How are you prioritizing your decisionmaking for all the things that you have on your plate right now . Dana, its very hard to do because this thing is moving so rapidly, its not changing on a daily basis or hourly basis, its almost a minute to minute. We are making decisions as rapidly as we can based on the best information that we can find and i just 5 minutes ago finished a call in washington, and the chairman of the Governors Association and we had nearly all of americas governors on the call and we will have another call tomorrow with the Vice PresidentSenior Leadership here in we are sharing information and communicating back and forth with one another. As i mentioned in the lead in, closing all the bars and restaurants and not having enough supplies and ventilators and personal protective equipment, and test kits and calling up the National Guard these are decisions that have to be made almost instantaneously. Dana are you getting pushback for people that it think its an overreaction . Only a handful of people. At first we were ahead of the curve in many states followed us on a lot of things. Some of the public is not quite as aware of how bad things are and they are starting to catch up. We are starting to get serious messages out of the white house and press conferences every day and the president is talking about Anthony Fauci on the Vice President. People are starting to understand that if we dont take these actions, potentially hundreds of thousands of people are going to die. So its come look. These are really difficult things and its disrupting our lives. If we dont do these actions and dont take them right now, the lives are at stake. Its been one of the president said today that we have to treat it like we were fighting a war. Thats how we manage Law Enforcement and things like getting regular Government Services to the people of maryland. Its one of the things that we are wrestling with. A lot of really critical functions. Thats difficult, we have workers that are in quarantine and thats one of the reasons why week called up 2200 members of the National Guard. We are dealing with situations like hospitals and quickly trying to bring online 6,000 more hospital beds. All kinds of tough tough decisions and actions. The good news is theres a whole lot of really smart, what if all dedicated people at the federal, state and local level. Dana and also dedicated indeed. Do you think schools will reopen this year . Its such a difficult discussion, we have a discussion amongst all the governors and we have a Coronavirus Emergency Response Team made up of the best doctors in the world from places like john hopkins and nih and the university of maryland. All of these really smart guys, and the folks at the federal level who dont know. They are talking about bending this curve and where the peaks are going to be on and what the surges are going to be. We dont know what its going to look like in a couple of weeks, we dont know what it will look like a month from now or two months from now. I know there has been some discussion about whether or not schools will be able to open before the end of the year but we havent quite made that decision. We close schools for a couple of weeks and extended spring break to give us time to reassess and figure out a way to allow kids to be able to, how are we going to continue to educate kids from home, do this by computer or sent home for smaller and younger kids. If theres anything that you really want citizens, i think the governors for all that they are doing. Is there anything that you are asking for citizens to do right now . Every one of us dana in the whole country, you have to Pay Attention to the news and listen to whats going on. And everyone has to help save the lives of our fellow citizens. But we cant really stop this crisis without everybody working and helping each other. Dana Maryland Governor gary hogan, thank you and take care. Up next we will had to to capitol hill.

[ barking ] dana fox news alert, mayor greg abbott and arlington governor Jeff Williams giving an update. Lets listen in. We want to make sure those people get tested. They understood the necessity that arlington has marked testing capability. When i arrived in arlington today we had already received 2500 test kits to assist in the process. When we arrived we are to be received the biological material is collected from the person who will use this and then run the ant official test to make the determination whether or not covid19 does exist in a particular person. I had the opportunity to speak last night with judge whitley as well as mayor williams. First of all i applaud their swift and quick decisive leadership and engagement in this. They are doing all the right things to help respond to a situation like this. Also, thank their First Responders and all the Health Care Workers on the front line who have been involved in responding to this, who in a way heroically have put their lives on the line and trying to help those who may get exposed to covid19. I made clear to them last night what i have reiterated today and will be insistent upon Going Forward and that is the state will partner with them and collaborate with them at the local level to the fullest extent possible. We will provide whatever type of support, whatever type of resources, whatever type of equipment, everything they need to make sure they are fully able to respond to and contain any type of exposure in this particular situation. All of us share the very same goal. We want to limit the spread of covid19 to other residents and we want to limit the spread by anyone and to anyone that could be affected to in this particular incident. The fact of the matter is, when you consider what happened here we must understand that texas and texans are living in challenging times. But texans are always up to those challenges. We dealt with sars, we dealt with each 11, we dealt with ebola. We will deal with this like we have gotten through those other infectious diseases. The family affected by this, the city of arlington, and the state of texas, we all need to support each other. We need to show patience and we need to show collaboration of everybody in our community to ensure we resolve the situation of maximum public safety. With that i will pass it over. I want to begin by thanking you as you have indicated, you called both of us last evening dana you are listening to the governor of texas, and casey siegels live in arlingt
