Night and adjourned until april 20th with Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell warning senators they could be called back sooner. While the unparalleled 880page measure is the largest Economic Relief bill in the u. S. History, at the epicenter of the outbreak, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it is not nearly enough to combat this unseen enemy. It would really be terrible for the state of new york. The 2 trillion bill, what does it mean for new york State Government . It means 3. 8 billion. 3. 8 billion sounds like a lot of money. New york city only gets 1. 3 billion from this package. That is a drop in the bucket as to need. Joining me now, wong scott. Good to have you with us. What has been the reaction to the coronavirus stimulus package that heads to the chamber . We heard Governor Cuomo saying he may call the new york delegation to congress and put appreciate on them or ask them to reconsider their vote for this. Right. I think all governors are reaching out to their members in congress. But i think they recognize the urgency of this moment, the need for this moment. Democratic leaders nancy pelosi and steny hoyer as well as Kevin Mccarthy and Steve Scalise have been holding a series of Conference Calls with their respective members trying to really sell them on this package, showing them, walking them through this package step by step to say, look, theres a lot of good stuff. We didnt get everything that we wanted. Progressive certainly wanted more money for snap and food stamps as well as more direct payments going to workers. 1500 rather than the 1200 that is in this senate deal. Nangs nancy pelosi has argued to the progressives in her caucus that there will be future opportunities, probably a phase four and a phase five in the coming months because the senate is so great and that democrats will be able to fight for some of these additional priorities in these future stages. So certainly not everyone is happy. Certainly not Governor Cuomo. But, again, there will be likely more phases of this stimulus when all is said and done. Lets talk about what the Sticking Points were. If everybody came out of this with a claim in this, what does the republicans get, what did the democrats get and ultimately what are the American People going to get . I think perhaps the biggest Sticking Point had to do with boosted unemployment insurance. This was a fight that went all the way down to the 11th hour. Senate republicans tried to cap Unemployment Benefits to 100 of employees salaries. Democrats were able to beat that back. Democrats have been pushing, obviously, throughout this entire process for more benefits for workers in terms of the direct payments from the irs, in terms of unemployment insurance. Democrats feel this is as good of a deal as they can have at this moment and, obviously, you know, there is a sense of urgency in terms of calming the fear of the American Public and certainly of the stock market. And hospitals are phasing a surge in the number of coronavirus cases. In both china and then in italy at mt. Sinai west and in manhattan. The hospital confirmed last night that one registered nurse has passed away. At elmhurst hospital in queens, 13 people died in a matter of 24 hours. One doctor described the situation as apocalyptic. All of the more than 1800 beds in the city are expected to be full by tomorrow and politico is reporting that the department of Homeland Security has been breached that new york citys morgues could reach capacity by next week. A fema spokesperson tells politico that new york has asked for emergency mortuary assistance. And President Trump boasted about the american response to the coronavirus outbreak. Im going to say it again. We tested far more than anybody else. The United States population is more than six times that of south yeah. South yeah is testing far more than its citizens of the United States. Researchers serious about comparing the nations responses would have to adjust to per capita rates of adjusting. That shows the extent to which the number of tests performance are at risk for infection. When you control for population, the american response compares poorly. Its a tally of 359,000 tests per 327 Million People. That works out to about 1,084 tests per 1 million americans. South korea has run closer to 6,. 768 tests per one million of its citizens. The British Parliament is now shut down until late april, i believe. What can you tell us . It is an emergency registration that would allow are extraordinary measures, never seen in peace time in the united kingdom. The bill has cleared the house of lords and will become law shortly, given the government sweeping powers, like being able to shut down premises like bars, restaurants and publics or restrict any sort of event. Officials will have the power to close boarders, it will allow for restrictions to be lifted on sick pay. The legislation can be used to enforce new social distancing rules. It even allows for rules relaxing the tension among Mental Health laws showing how wide ranging the subject matter laws are as the government takes this coronavirus very seriously, maybe a little bit late in the game, but nonetheless very seriously right now. Over the past couple of weeks, weve been seeing a long list of celebrities, famous people, politicians and others, members of parliament, centers for Disease Control in the u. S. Who have tested positive for covid19. In the uk, Prince Charles has tested positive for it. What does this mean for Buckingham Palace . There is a sense of shock in this country. A spokesman said that he is displaying mild symptoms, but remains in good health. His wife has been tested and she is negative for the virus. They are both selfisolating in scotland. Buckingham palace says the queen was in good health. She is selfisolating. Both of them are in their 90s. But it shouldnt, however, come as a huge surprise that Prince Charles has tested positive. He was, after all, attending public engagements among crowds of people and shaking hands until the 12th of march, which underscores the importance of social distancing. Of isolating. As this virus knows no race or class. Now is prince is 72 years old. That is a dangerous category. But they say he is isolating and in good health, so we have to see how he does in the coming weeks and days. The Washington Post reports that members of the g7 failed to agree on a joint statement after the Trump Administration insisted on referring to the coronavirus as the wuhan virus according to three officials from g7 countries. The members rejected the term because they viewed it as unnecessarily political at a time when International Cooperation is pertinent to slow the spread of the global pandemic. Secretary of state mike pompeo has brushed off criticism of his use of the term claiming it is important to identify where the virus originated and draw attention to chinas responsibility to inform the world about the dangers of the virus. When asked about the g7 members claims, pompeo did not deny the charge but said any among the group were not tactical and sweeping in nature. Meanwhile, the United Statess insistence on using the term has triggered a stalemate in the u. N. Security council as they try to compile a response to the pandemic. The cdc and World Health Organization have discouraged referring to the coronavirus by geographical denomination due to racial current and violence. D coming up, the doj is using Terrorism Laws.

Law enforcement agencies and chiefs and prosecutors across the United States, Jeffrey Rosen warned that anyone who intentionally spreads the coronavirus could Face Criminal Charges under federal Terrorism Laws. The doj set up a task force to manage the hoarding and price gouging of supplies urgently needed for the fight against the deadly virus. Earlier this week, attorney general william barr says hoarding of supplies such as masks would be prosecuted. But memos issued say the department of health and Human Services has yet to formally select the items the administration wants covered by the defense production act. Joining me now, danny savales. Another dimension to this ongoing corona pandemic. This one, walk us through what exactly constitutes federal Terrorism Law and why someone trying to intentionally spread the coronavirus could face these charges. The doj memo covers a lot of good things like scams and other things that come up during a pandemic like this. But the part about terrorism, if you possess this biological agent is probably a little bit of overreaching. While its true that the coronavirus probably meets the definition under the u. S. Code of biological agent, you have to go to the actual crime. And the crime is whoever knowingly develops, produces, stockpiles, possesses. And the only one that can really apply is probably possession. And in criminal law, possession, whether actual or constructedive, is about control. Control over the biological weapon or agent that you have. You dont possess an illness any more than you possess your liver or you possess the bullet youve been shot with. So possession is where this might be a bit of is transmission on there . I mean, if you walk around knowingly having it and shaking hands and hugging people, would that qualify . Yeah. The biological agent, it speaks of transfers, acquires, so when you look at the language of the definitional statute, it really speaks more of something that is outside your body. But for those who are concerned, the reason this seems clunky is that this is not the area that the federal government is supposed to legislate. State laws are supposed to address the health, the safety, the morals of its citizenry. And so, not surprisingly, you have hundreds of different laws at the state level that criminalize knowingly infecting someone with a disease. So the states are perfectly positioned or i should say better positioned to handle crimes like this than the federal government. The federal government is not traditionally charged with protecting the health of americans. So for those who are concerned, state law may adequately protect against people who would knowingly infect others with coronavirus. So while this doj memo does a lot of good things and addresses a lot of valid concerns, the short part about the biological agents is probably a little much. So what are the repercussions the someone is caught hording and raises the prices of supplies . This is an interesting thing. The federal government will criminalize or even civilly prosecute people who price fix or otherwise collude to fix prices. I remember conclusion was a big word last year, but this is where it actually applies in federal law. So they will, but at the same time, a certain amount of price fixing can be lawful, depending on the intent and depending upon the actions of the defendants, whether they Work Together or whether its just responding to typical market forces. So this is a very difficult thing to prosecute, but if the doj is focussing on it, they will find a way. Danny, always a pleasure. Thanks, my friend.

That is Governor Ron Desantis saying he had no plans to enact a stay at home order at this time. Meanwhile, new orleans appears to be on track to become the next epicenter of the pandemic in the u. S. New orleans has recorded the worlds highest growth rate in the coronavirus here in the u. S. After new york. That news is raising fears that the city may become a catalyst in spreading the virus across much of the south. According to reuters, authorities have warned that the number of cases in new orleans could overwhelm its hospitals by april 4th. Now, despite the rapid spread in louisiana, the governor of neighboring state mississippi said yesterday that he is rejecting, quote, dictator models like china to control peoples movements to stop the spread of coronavirus. Governor tate reeves says he believes it is possible to get through this pandemic without issuing a stay at home order. Lets bring in meteorologist bill karins.
