Numbers are going on this, what im really thinking about is all those people who are going to have a chance to say goodbye. Dana more than 31,000 people have died from covid19 in the United States. The governor of new york, the epicenter of the outbreak in the u. S. Announced he is today extending the state stay at home order to may 15th. Lets bring in chief White House Correspondent john roberts fly from the north lawn. Good afternoon, this hour the president has got a van on the south want to thank the nations truckers who have kept the wheels rolling through this entire crisis earning food and medical supplies and other goods to where they need to be and then at 5 00 this afternoon, the president will unveil those longawaited guidelines to begin the process of reopening the country. Fox news is told that these guidelines will be a safe, data driven approach. They will be later t layered, by not a cookiecutter mold. Will be led by the governors and experts we are told are in agreement with what will be announced this afternoon. The president is going to have a Conference Call with all 50 of the nations governors. He will lay out the guidelines to them. Last night, the president saying that some governors will be able to move more quickly than others. Listen here. You already know will be opening up states, some states much sooner than others whom we think some of the states can actually open up before the deadline of may 1st and i think that will be a very exciting time indeed. Governors are looking for it, chomping at the bit to get going. Again, not all states are the same. They were some 20 states out there that might be able to have it before the current guidelines that are in place expiring on april the 30th. I am told tonewise, the president is going to salute all of those brave people who got us to where we are today. The doctors and nurses and First Responders who were on the front lines, all the support people behind them in the state and local officials who worked so hard to try to find their way through this but the president will also say it is time now to start to look ahead to reopening the country because there are experts, and youve had them on your program and weve had them here on fox news who are warning of a second wave of casualties if we keep this economy closed much longer. Ben carson was talking about that this morning saying that there was a cost to opening the country back up because the virus is still there, but theres also a great cost to keeping the country closed so a lot of big pressure on both sides of the equation here is the president tries to navigate a path down the middle. Dana . Dana so many decisions to make. Thank you, john roberts. Lets bring in chief political inker bret baier. Is the president prepares to talk to governors this afternoon in the reopening just today at noon Governor Cuomo says actually, we are not going to be seeing this reopening of relief of the shutdown order until ma may 15th and people are starting to push back and other places and yet they seem to also be understanding that the officials are trying their best to figure this out. Good afternoon. I think its going to be a balancing act and the president despite starting out saying when we say its open, its open. I think he is more in the mindset of providing the guidelines, the blueprint for governors to follow as they see the evidence on the ground and what theyre dealing with. I think thats what youre going to see from the white house, but very specific around the country and that would be a rolling kind of operation were some places are obviously going to go before other places created the Economic Statistics are staggering, 22 Million People filing for unemployment already. You have the spa Program Running out of money, 1. 6 million loans sent out, but they dont have any more money so if you havent had an application approved, there is not money there and thats a really big moment here in washington for the administration and capitol hill. Dana speaking of that, is there an update on replenishing the fund . There was an effort to have unanimous consent that it could increase by 250 billion, that was shot down by democrats. Nancy pelosi wrote most recently over the past 24 hours saying she heard information that the funds were running low but hadnt seen confirmation that it was. They put out a Statement Today saying thats it, the funds are out. Unless they replenish them. Thats all. Dana and they have to do it by unanimous consent because theyre not there altogether. Also wanted to ask you about some reporting that you had last night, so describe for us more of what youre hearing from the intelligence officials about the origin of this virus. When asked about this on the record publicly, the chairman joint chief said that the intelligence is inconclusive, that the virus came from that lab in wuhan, but that it does look like it is natural. You have heard that now from the defense secretary and also from secretary pompeo. Dana shall we play that sound actually . If you dont mind, i do have that sound from secretary esper, the defense secretary, lets listen to that and how we react. The results are inconclusive if you will. A majority of the view is right now is that its natural and it was organic but i think we need to continue to work this and once we get beyond the pandemic, will have a chance to look back and figure out what happened and then to take the proper precautions to make sure we prevent this in the future. Dana what else are we hearing from china in reaction to this . They are it was not created in a lab, but there is an important distinction here that multiple sources are saying that the body of evidence, the open source and classified as leading them to connect dots, increasingly confident that it was a botched effort to study these viruses and that lab, not that it was created as a bio weapon i in the lab were create, it was not genetically altered and there is evidence that the virus was not genetically altered. They say it was natural is what youre going to see you, but they were more and more dots here and thats where the sourcing is coming from. In addition to that, we have confirmation that that wuhan lab was the focus of real concern by u. S. Officials who send back warnings through the beijing embassy to the state department suggesting that it was not up to what it was billed as a level four bio facilities. In fact, they said it was very sloppy and they were real concerns about that a couple of years ago. Dana and look at the consequences. Thats a fascinating report on that and we will be in touch with you know doubt, thank you.

Dana stayathome orders now creating protest in more than half a dozen states with people saying they want to get back to work. Mike tobin has more from chicago. Got underway yesterday and now it seems to be spreading to other places. It really does seem to be spreading in as the people are pushing back against these governors, we have a group of four michigan sheriffs who say that they will not strictly enforce the stayathome orders from their governor gretchen whitmer. They issued a statement which reads in part, questioning some of the restrictions she has imposed is overstepping her executive authority, she is created of big framework that only confuse michigan citizens. That sentiment was echoed by protesters operated by the coalition. They drove there cars and created a traffic jam. They claim it is too restrictive and damaging him that it is arbitrary and it treats rural parts of the state the same as detroit where the outbreak is severe. Governor whitmer pushed back saying the behavior of the demonstrators put health and safety in jeopardy. The sad irony here is that the protest was they dont like being in this stay home order, and they may have just created a need to lengthen it. Which is something that we are trying to avoid at all costs. Please open the state demonstrations are spreading, people want to get back to work, they want to pay their bills and gain some control over their lives. Reopen virginia and let people decide when theyre ready to go to business. They are not wanting to, stay home and i fully support that, those of us were healthy and want to do business, we need to get this going again, its time. A group on facebook is trying to organize another demonstration in missouri. There are efforts in oregon in texas, kentucky, several states have already seen a demonstration and a lot of passion for people to reopen their states. Dana no doubt, mike tobin, thank you. Governor cuomo not letting down his guard in the fight against coronavirus. He is extending the new york state on pause mandate until may 15th and starting tomorrow, all new yorkers must cover their faces in public. David lee miller is in new york city with these developments. David lee . New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says his decision to continue the shutdown of all nonessential businesses in the state is not based on politics, not based on emotion. He says it is datadriven and it is based on science and in his words, we are talking about human lives here. The governor says the continued shut down is going to be a coordination with nearby states. Would not offer up any plans for what might happen after the next 30 days. I dont want to project beyond that. Mack thats about one month, one month is a long time. People need certainty and clarity so they can plan. I need a coordinated action plan with the other state. Directing all new yorkers to wear a Face Covering and he also said in the last day, 606 new yorkers died from the virus. 29 of those deaths were in Nursing Homes and in nearby new jersey, authorities there are still grappling with a very disturbing discovery at a nursing home in Andover Township. They say after acting on a tip earlier this week, police found 17 bodies in a small morgue, 13 were transferred to a refrigeration truck that was standing by for virus victims. We talked to the mayor a short time ago and he said he has heard reports of as many as 76 recent deaths at this 700 facility. And phil murphy called for the state attorney general to investigate. I am also outraged that bodies of the dead were allowed to piled up in a makeshift morgue at the facility. New jerseyans living in a longterm care facilities deserve to be cared for with respect, compassion, and dignity. We can and must do better. Some good news now at a hospital in bayshore new york, there was reason to celebrate. A woman had been placed on a ventilator suffering from the virus. She had an emergency csection at 34 weeks pregnant and yesterday, there were cheers as she met for the first time with walter her newborn son. Dana . Dana i loved watching that story unfold and then getting to see each other. Thank you so much, david lee. And the deaths at that new jersey nursing home, the latest and worst cases spread at a u. S. Nursing home is also affecting the sum of the the most vulnerable people. Alicia can you has more on this. Staff members at these types of facilities are saying right now across the country that they are understaffed and overwhelmed because they are caring for the people who are most vulnerable to the virus. David lee mentioned this in Andover Township new jersey facility where 17 bodies were found by police in a morgue that was meant for 4. They found out about that from an anonymous tip. The Rehabilitation Center has been overwhelmed according to the mayor and two Staff Members are among the dead. In a news conference, the mayor called out the owner. Over 700 beds, and it was bought out about two years ago by a new owner and i think that you guys should be camping out on his front lawn and asking him why this is going on. Here in colorado, the state released new data that found half of the people who have died here from covid19 were in Nursing Homes or longterm care facilities. The governor acknowledging yesterday they need to increase efforts to stop infection. That means additional steps beyond the steps for the general population for older coloradans or with preexisting conditions for facilities like Nursing Homes. The story is similar across the country. In illinois after 22 people died in a facility there including one staff member, the owner is moving healthy residents to its other facilities in arizona, the states most populous county has seen a 200 increase at its longterm care facilities in just over a week, the doctor heading the department of health there says they are focusing on keeping this vulnerable population safe and this brings to mind the Life Care Center in kirkland, washington, where we all watched the outbreak grow and the Elderly Population there, 35 people died at that facility. Nbc news has done an analysis on the people who have died in these facilities and have found that 5,670 people so far sends all of this began have died in longterm and nursing care facilities. Dana and no doubt their loved ones are very upset. Thank you. Millions more americans filing for unemployment in the last week as coronavirus shutdowns continue to slam the economy.

Dana the emergency loan aimed at helping Small Businesses is no longer accepting applications. Lenders approving 339 billion in just two weeks to help Small Businesses, but you should also know that big businesses including some major restaurant chains are getting these loans. In our new york city newsroom with more on this. Good afternoon to you, and there were a lot of people up in arms for certainly about this. We are looking at the Paycheck Protection Program is something thats helping people move forward. You pay your employees and pay your expenses as we are in lock down and then as things open up, these businesses can get back to normal but Small Businesses are up in arms saying we are not getting our loans when larger restaurant chains actually are. It has received 20 million and thats 10 million but the company filed for loans by having two of its subsidiaries apply. Also securing a 10 million loan just days after one of its executives received 100,000 bonus. They got the loans too, so what are the rules here . Eligibility for the loans depends on a business employing more than 500 people per physical location. Its got 20 physical locations on each employee has less than each employee is less than 500 people. Can the business submit 20 different applications . Of course the answer to that is no but it is eligible for one loan because of a number of employees that it employs. What of the business has two subsidiaries . It got to loans. A potbelly got that 10 million loan because of its locations employing less than 500 each. They didnt break the rules per se but it leaves these questions open, we are the loopholes and why are certain loans getting approved before others . Small businesses are asking that. We reached out a treasury for clarity on this and we are waiting to hear back. Dana trying to get money out the door quickly. Thank you so much, jackie.
