The working for relief as well with the Treasury Department is that the states will end up pushing their tax filing that line back as well. There are two different systems. Federal and state systems.

Lets bring in the panel, gary smith, adam and john. John, the wall street journal editorialized today against complete shutdown to stop the business, learning the cost of our National Shutdown is going to result in tens of millions of jobs lost in disappearance of thousands of Small Businesses according to the journal, no society can safeguard Public Health for long at the cost of its Overall Economic health. Governor cuomo make a mistake with this one 100 shutdown order today . Ive been saying this monday on, how can we completely shutdown capitalism and expect things to be business as usual and only three to four weeks . We dont know how long this is going to go. Yes, we are concerned about the spread but just like everything else, we have to focus on balance. We have to make sure that we give relief to the supplyside as well as demandside and also try to restore some sense of normalcy during the crisis with respect to how long. Right now, businesses, working class, we dont know how long this is going to go and like you said, the governor is ordering a complete shutdown of new york. We have to to strike some balance but we have to give relief to Small Businesses and people concerned about the bills because they are concerned not about only the virus but also about their livelihood. David i know youre in San Francisco and support the shelter in place, we talked about yesterday. Governor cuomo justified shutting down, it saves just one life, it is worth it but think of how many lives will be destroyed if those businesses just go away. Read the editorial very carefully, especially after our conversation yesterday and i agree with johns. About balance. I thought the part, the editorial didnt say, i think that balance would say you do this immediately. You dont know how long its going to last but lets make up a number. Lets say at last two weeks and it had a meaningful impact and we can think of other things like and again, i making up policy because everyone is making a policy. Lets say we then went to 50 instead of 0 . That would save lives and perhaps save business. I dont know but i think its the right thing to do to try to save lives now. Im kind of an agreement with the wall street journal editorial, if you take the combined economies california and new york, thats 20 of our gdp. The back to adam said, shutting down for two weeks, its not going to be one 100 of the economy, essential personnel but even if you take say for a couple of weeks, 20 of the 20 , but still what, 4 of the gdp . The effects would be devastating. Not talking just a mild recession. Im talking about growing a country almost immediately and it lasted longer than a few weeks and again, i dont know when you pull the plug. I dont know after two weeks you say okay, well only a couple hundred people now are dying. It would be devastating but to go back like cuomo said if we save even one life, thats a heck of a tradeoff. In new york 1. 4 trillion. David many lives could be destroyed, we saw what happened, he mentioned the Great Depression, many people jump out of windows back then, god forbid what you think of peoples lives being fluent in what they do in despair, john, nobody knows how much the economy is going to retract but we know its going to contract dramatically. They came out with an estimate that in the first quarter, its going to be down 6 , Second Quarter 24 interest one quarter. The biggest down your in the 20th century, during the Great Depression when we were down 12 in one of those years. Could we rivaled the Great Depression if we close down this country that long . Its a positive loading. For every day and every week the economy is shut down at some percentage, theres a compounding effect and it doesnt come back as quickly. You have to think about supply change in the interdependency of our economy and no ones talking about the tax revenues. If businesses are losing money, if people arent paying taxes but at the same time, we are talking about trillions of dollars of stimulus, thats going to be kept in. David thats called money bring. Only the federal government can do that, cap estates. Thank you very much. We are going to see more of the panel coming up later in the show. The coronavirus continuing to overwhelm hospitals and medical centers all over the nation. All over the world. Two doctors have created to help ease that dangerous overcrowding. Thats next. Can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first.

United states Hospital System is on the verge of a tsunami of coronavirus but in an effort to decrease overwhelming strength and medical centers and professionals, our next guest is from emory university, he created a free online tool to help people check their risk of covert 19th before making the trip to the hospital. Doctor elex is with us now and we should mention, the coauthor of this site, we are trying to get him and we are having difficulty with the signal. Explain for us how this see 19 check. Com works. I want to acknowledge another one, people are going to be developing signs and symptoms of illness. Where in the middle of a covid19 pandemic. People are going to wonder whether or not they have the illness or where they should go and what they should do. What this tool does, it built based on cdc guidelines that are widely available on the website, so medicos on this checker, they enter their age and what signs and symptoms they are having their asked about underlying medical conditions. We know people with covid19 and also underlying medical conditions would be at risk with more serious illness. By answering these questions then, the person is directed to, please dial 911, if they have severe chest pains, shortness of breath, inability to keep down water. The checker says you dont seem to have serious signs or symptoms of illness but you may have underlying medical conditions that put you at greater risk. We encourage you to go and call your physician and get guidance. For those that are young and healthy, no underlying medical conditions, no serious signs or symptoms, you may have some similar symptoms, same thing, they get the message that you dont seem to have anything serious right now but you should get checked out. The goal here is that if everyone decides they are going to run to the Doctors Office right away go to the er right away because of their concerns about covid19, the system is going to break. David i think weve seen some of that in italy. Thats one of the reasons they are having the problems they are because as soon as people think they have symptoms, they go in. There are not enough beds for those who are really sick. Doctor david wright, one of the co creators of this, its called c19 check. Com. Looking up, i played with it a little bit and i plugged in only a headache and with just the headache, i said call your doctor. Im just wondering if youre being a little overly cautious here. David hold on, thats for doctor wright. No problem. We want to make sure that if someone has a significant issue, they contact their physician to discuss it. This is not a diagnostic. We want to be very careful about this, this is to provide education to the patient to sort of empower the public and the patient, know what to do next. As he alluded to, its based on the science the cdc has already put out and yes, it will direct you to contact your physician but avoid going immediately to the Emergency Department unless you have a serious condition. David i hate to ask this next question because we seek too many lawsuits around but do you worry about lawsuit . Somebody might plug in something and get sicker and what your website says. Thats a great question. Heres how i respond to that. Theres no substitute for the doctor patient relationship. Right up front, if you go into access this checker, it would advise you that you should seek guidance from your physician about your medical condition. What we are trying to do is because we think theres going to be such an overwhelming number of people that are going to Access Healthcare because of the concerns they have about their signs and symptoms, we are just trying to help guide them to the information already available on the cdc website, to inform them about where they should most appropriately get their care. David i should say, the very clear, easy to use website about the symptoms listed are very clear and easy to understand so its a well designed program. I just want to switch to the question of how prepared our Healthcare System is. For other shortcomings, everything and everybody has shortcomings. We still rate pretty well compared to whats happening in the rest of the world. Maybe the exception of south korea but we have a mortality rate, when you look at the overall numbers, about 1. 3 , 1. 3 of the people who actually get the virus, die as a result. In italy, thats over 8 . In all of europe, somewhere around 5 . We are still doing pretty well in this country, are we not . I would say, i think we are pretty early in the curve, it came to our country allotment later than some of the other places we are seeing across the world. Im not sure we know get where we are. From what the overall mortality is going to be but i think we have a great Healthcare System. Our physicians are some of the best in the world. We do have that advantage. David we are going to talk about manufacturers retooling some of their operations to provide what we dont have right now, what we have in short supply. You think thats going to come online soon enough to avoid the situations like they have in italy, or uc patients in gurneys in the hallways and such . I think its going to be a combination of a number of things. Everything you hear about social distancing, keeping people apa apart, if youre sick, dont going to public spaces or go to work, all these things we do to keep the numbers of sick people down is going to be critically important. With the Health Systems preparing for the search, its critically important. In addition now, efforts made to make the protective equipment available, and swabs were available, all that together is going to help us get through that. David one of your patients is calling you. I hear a cell phone vibrating. Once again, c19 the c19, thats all one word c19check. Com. Its a easy to use device. I appreciate it.

Diane feinstein explaining her husband to i report my husband financial transactions, i have no input into his decisions, it was unrelated to the situation. Senators are blaming their advisors for making these sales. First of all, i was at the meeting. I was not part of it. I became chairman in the senate, knowing thats one of the major committees. If you look at the transaction filed, it notices at the bottom, that im only informed of my transactions after they occurred. Senator burr asked the city to launch an investigation into his situation. David. David thank you very much. Lets bring back the panel and gary, or to go to you. Even if what they did wasnt a strict violation of Insider Trading laws, should these people pay a price for what they did . I believe they should. First of all, Diane Feinstein leaving her husband, thats so, nancy must be all over that one. The other guy saying i got it from news, first of all, any senator or congressman, if they have money to invest should be in a blind trust and they shouldnt be touching it at all. Its too easy to act on some news. This sounds very sketchy to me. I dont know what the right punishment is, fine or whatever but i dont know if its the sec or justice department, they need to take action. David kelly, her husband, youre talking about husband and wife and so forth, he does happen to be chairman of the new york stock exchange. She was a traitor herself so it looks awful, doesnt it . Yes, it looks awful. No, im not going to come to their defense or feel sorry for them but i do think we should be asking ourselves at a time like this, is it relevant to the crisis at hand or is it not relevant . This isnt. Burke calls for an investigation because he wants to clear his name which i understand and appreciate. I would say its what the senate should not be doing is investigating. Im not defending anybody but i dont think anyone should be focused on this right now. David john, theres something called the stock act, thousand enacted in 2012. Very much as a result of peters work, the great investigative journalist, he wrote a book essentially about the way that congress is insider trade. The problem is, there didnt seem to be, we thought we had a stock that would stop this but was so full of holes, it didnt work. Exactly. This is a situation here, he should be held at the same standard as corporate executives. They have to get trade whether you are buying or selling, preapproved. They also need to monitor the trading in terms of electronically submitting all statements. None of this Self Reporting or honor system or disclosures, it needs to be electronically fed into a system of review with the 30, possibly 60 or 90 day look back make sure there are no interest. Why should we assume that our leaders are actually doing the right thing . We need to trust but verify. David i think thats a great example of what we could do but again, unfortunately, these are the people work writing stuff laws. Gary, that is why i think, forgive me for being cynical but this stock act has so many holes in it. Its human nature. If you see something coming along your desk, a bill that even proposes this, some of these congressmen and senators are worth a lot of money but others dont make a lot of money. Making one or 200 on this, its human nature. I understand it, ive been a traitor for a long time and ive had access to Insider Information that i had to hold my hands together to not act on. They need to put the money out there where they cant touch it. Forget about any kind of reporting. We have to have high ethical standards. David its good to have high ethical standards. We do have one standard, thats an election. Kelly, an appointee, she was appointed the position, not elected to it because the senator before her left, shes up for reelection in november. Shouldnt the voters be the ultimate decider here . Sure. I hate to be the one who sounds gullible but each had plausible explanations for why they werent necessarily in charge of this. I disagree. Is not that her husband made her do it, but shes claiming she didnt know. Okay, every trade he makes but to davids question, i really doubt the floaters are going to throw any of these out. David really . You agree, too, john . Absolutely not. They dont know how the rules go but when your husband is in the new york stock exchange, your a traitor, you know how stringent the rules are by letter of the law but the spirit of the law also. You also know not only is your personal training unique but any account, whether its your spouse or any account you control, its over. Thats got to be the last word. We could go on but thank you.

Dr. Jerome adams for more information on how you can social distance please go to coronavirus. Gov getting creative in a time of covid19, businesses pivoting their products or something that could help fight the spread of the virus a distillery using it main ingredient for something other than drinking. Heres all the details from illinois. Distilleries from pennsylvania to california are doing this as well. The reason is because the equipment they have in their distillery is pretty much everything they need short of a few chemicals to make Hand Sanitizer. They were making bourbon here last week, they stopped that earlier this week. They got all the ingredients they needed, theyve been crushing to get everything together and they are following the World Health Organizations recommendation to make that Hand Sanitizer. President trump also says there are talks with automakers might pigeon to make ventilators during this time. Working with one in particular to make ventilators, they called us yesterday and they are working on a transaction. They are going to make ventilators. They say theyve done it before, which surprised me but they cant do it very easily. President trump wouldnt say which one it is but we know General Motors and tesla are standing by to make medical equipment and specifically ventilators if the government request them to. I care about distillery, i want to show you a finished product, this is the Hand Sanitizer they make and they are going to give it to local hospitals free of charge and after that, they want to sell at cost because part of the idea here is that they have employees they want to keep on the payroll for as long as they can and making Hand Sanitizer helps them do that. David the factories open and keeping the people employed, god bless them. Thank you very much. A lot of folks would argue that companies and factories deserve to stay open. Keep making signature products since they are an essential part of the american economy. Particularly, some may be temporarily repurposed, the defense production act to help in the fight against the virus. The ceo and president of the National Association of manufacturers. Great to see you. Thank you for being here. I know you think manufacturing is essential to our economy. I think it is as well but make your case. We make everything including lifesaving devices that people are relying on right now. So if any of our country make devices and may be part of a supply chain to the finished product. So we are trying to make sure manufacturing is considered essential at all levels, local and State Government declarations, ensuring manufacturers can stay open. David i see who are at home. In a factory, people are able to upper. I imagine you can space that out a bit but how can we keep factories open while keeping the workers safe . Excellent question. We just had that discussion today with 3000 manufacturers, we could have had more but we bust the capacity of the phone points. Brief Engine Manufacturers listening to a set of guidelines that cec is requesting. They are going to be finalized and get those two factors to make sure that all of our employees are safe and they can feel confident going to the workplace and not getting ill or transmitting the disease to someone else. David be specific, if you could. Some suggestions made about how to keep workers safe while on the Assembly Line . Theres a lot of Technical Specifications about cleaning and distance between workers on the factory floor. Making sure if anybody does contract the virus that theres a strict cleaning protocol for any area the employee may have touched including bathrooms and shared spaces like kitchens. We are pleased the cdc is coming out with that but more important, or just as important, you should know in your viewers should know manufacturers are pulling together to make sure we can provide as many Healthcare Products and equipment as we possibly can. Surveying members as her request of the white house to find out what they might have in stock and everything from gloves to swabs to booties to mast and downs and respirators. In addition, theyve asked us to see what manufacturers can repurpose the floors to make some of this lifesaving equipment. Weve gotten a lot of good responses. David i do want to talk about that but the defense production act is the specific act the president has at his disposal, he said he hasnt had to invoke it because you have been stepping up to the plate, even sometimes before its been requested by the white house. Which is terrific. We knew our american producers had big hearts but we are seeing how big their hearts are now. He talked to the Vice President , what did he tell you . What did you ask him . Weve been in Constant Contact with the Vice President because hes heading that task force. We are in touch within the white house as well. I want to say thank you for acknowledging what manufacturers do every single day. We solve problems and we make sure this country is strong and great. We have stepped up and its been a Great Partnership with the white house, making sure we can get those supplies where they are needed, as quickly and efficiently as possible. David you talked about repurposing now, im wondering how soon it would take, we are going to get this virus, the question is when and how soon it will take. How long would it take you to retool to the old manufacturing level . You mean if they were closed or if we were repurpose in . David repurposing. It depends on the factory. It depends on what they might be producing and how close it might be to the product they are currently producing. For instance, i know anaheim or push and distilleries are producing Hand Sanitizers so that might be a little bit easier to put back in there production line and say the automaker making respirators, i dont know that. I dont have the expertise but they are going to be all different and how they are able to change their operations.
