Package, and there are new calls on President Trump to invoke the defense production act now, now to get industries up and running to produce the medical equipment so desperately needed to save lives. State and local officials need immediate help, they say, for our local heroes on the front lines. Heres michigan governor Gretchen Witmer and new York Governor Andrew Cuomo. We need more test kits. It is hard to really make an educated decision and to know what youre really con fronting without data, and that all is reliant on test kits. If i had the power, i would do it in new york state because the situation is that critical. I think the federal government should order factories to manufacture masks, gowns, ventilators, the essential medical equipment thats going to make the difference between life and death. Its not hard to make a mask or pp if e equipment or ppe equipment or a gown. But you need companies to do it. K erin we have team fox News Coverage on all of this, alex hogan live from new york city, among the hardesthit states in the United States. Dan springer is in seattle, thats where it mushroomed on our shores several weeks ago, and Mark Meredith in washington on that possible 2 trillion relief bill thats being hammered out right now. Lets begin with Steve Harrigan louvre at the centers for disease control, its headquarters in atlanta. Hi, steve. Reporter eric, globally the numbers continue to rise, more than 300,000 cases around the world, 113,000 people dead. In the u. S. , 26,000 cases, 340 dead. One number to keep an eye on, thats the state of new york, 12,000 cases. That is seven times higher than the next nearest state of washington. Another number to keep an eye on, italy. 793 deaths in just the past 24 hours. That is a 20 spike in the number of deaths, and it comes after 11 days of lockdown. Here in the u. S. Right now stay at home orders across six states, and that number could rise throughout the day. California, new york, illinois, connecticut, oregon and new jersey, all nonessential workers being asked to stay home. And hawaii has just put in a tough quarantine, 14 Days Visitors will have to stay in their hotel rooms going out only for medical care. They could face a 5,000 fine or one year in prison. Eric, back to you. Eric steve, thanks so much. Arthel were going to go to that massive economic stimulus package, toplevel negotiations underway on capitol hill on a bill that could pump 2 trillion into the economy in this come month with a possible senate vote days away. Heres what florida senator marco rubio told Maria Bartiromo on is the sunday morning futures earlier today. Im talking about the dry cleaner, the bakery, the guy who owns a couple gas stations, the person who owns a hotel or two that in many cases its seasonal and this is the season. And their workers, this is about the people who work for them who are being laid off, and weve got to get money in the hands of their employers so they can keep these people on the payroll as long as possible. Arthel Mark Meredith has more. Reporter good afternoon. The white house is vowing to bring Economic Relief as soon as possible because so Many Americans right now are worried about their paychecks, their jobs, paying rent, mortgages. Thats certainly on the mind. Right now as you mentioned negotiations underway up on capitol hill for this possible 2 trillion relief package. There has been a lot of talk that lawmakers are close to a deal, but then even today we have heard that there are still some sticking points that need to be worked out. We heard from treasury secretary steve mnuchin, he spoke to john roberts on Fox News Sunday earlier today. We need the money now. I would say were looking anywhere to a 1012 week scenario. Again, this situation is moving quickly. We need to get the money into the economy now. If we do that, we think we can stabilize the economy. Were putting a lot of money into the hospitals, and, you know, i think the president has every expectation that this is going to look a lot better 4 or 8 weeks from now. Reporter that is certainly the hope. We are still waiting to read the exact text of the bill, but we believe its going to contain Cash Payments depending on income level, assistance for Small Businesses, loans to help industries that would be most impacted by potential law ahs and more resources for Health Care Workers, those are the people on the front lines treating patients. Meantime, the white house says its rushing to get more medical supplies to hospitals. Weve heard the need for more n95 masks. The Administration Says its to ordering more of those. The president is also thank the companies that have stepped up offering to help, Companies Like apple, and about an hour ago the president tweeted ford, General Motors and hes and tesla are being given the go ahead to make ventilators. Lets see how good you are. Overnight we also learned that the Vice President and the second lady, karen pence, have tested negative for the coronavirus. They took tests on saturday after a staffer of the Vice President tested positive. The good news, that staffer is expected to recover and be okay. Also within the last few minutes fox news has learnedded that President Trump recently sent a letter to north koreas leader kim jong un, part of the response for the global a pandemic reaching out to global leaders. Of we also herald from the north korean news agency, well still be interested to see why the president decided to reach out now and whatever response that comes of this. Arthel . Arthel thanks, mark. Mark washington state, one of the early coronavirus locations. That state now taking some bold new steps to respond to this pandemic. Yesterday the Governors Office stepped in, they are diverting those vitallyneeded n95 maaings that were maskings that were being sold in Retail Stores to Health Care Workers who are running out of that protect weve gear. Meanwhile, the city of seattle is clearing more space for more patients as cases there continue to rise. Dan springer is joining us at a soccer field that will be converted to a Field Hospital there. Hi, dan. Reporter hey, eric. Washington state just had it biggest single day jump in the number of cases, so the trend is continuing. 269 new cases overnight, 11 new deaths. And so officials are scrambling to create more hospital beds. Thats why they have built here on this soccer field a makeshift hospital, a Field Hospital, if you will. When its done, it will provide 200 hospital beds for people infected with the coronavirus who cannot be quarantinedded at their home. It will, hopefully, slow down the spread as people stay away from healthy people. These are going up in several locations as the team plans to create 3,000 additional beds in the coming week. The number of cases has tripled in the last seven days, and the number of depths has more than doubled deaths has more than doubled. Public gatherings were shut down first here in washington state, and it has led to severe job losses. Unemployment claims in the Food Service Industry alone with up 600 as many restaurants have closed their doors. But we are starting to see a fair number adjusting to a drivethrough carryout business model, and its helping feed the public and keep some of those workers get thing paychecks. The games not up, and but the rules are a little different, and what if we just started from scratch and asked how do we create enough jobs for our staff. Reporter one business that could take off is a new way to sanitize airplanes using ultraviolet light. We got a demonstration of a company thats using this thing they call a germ falcon. Uv light has been used for decades to clean hospital rooms and operating rooms, but theyre using this uv light to clean airplanes, and they say it was initially brought up to be used for cleaning planes, but they say it will also kill the coronavirus. Its susceptibility to all v. A. Violent light is vim to the mers and the sars, we presume, because theyre genetically related. We know if the ultra violet light can kill their cousins, itll kill them too. Reporter Alaska Airlines is testing it right now at payne airfield here in washington. This thing could take off and be used elsewhere around the country soon. Eric . Eric dan, it seems theyll be popping up on this side of the country and elsewhere too. Thank you. Arthel a number of confirmed krone cases in new york city now, well, its topping 9,000 according to the states governor, andrew cuomo, as new York Hospitals struggle to handle the influx of patients. Governor cuomo moving to set up temporary Field Hospitals, but he says vital medical equipment like ventilators are still in short supply. Lets go to alex hogan out and about live in new york city. Shes in Washington Square park. This morning Governor Cuomo said not enough people in new york city are practicing social distancing. How is it there . Reporter exactly, arthel. That effect will go into effect tonight, but we still can see people Walking Around the park, and its manager that will change come tonight at 8 p. M. Starting after this. Anyone walking within 6 feet of each other will be told by police that they do need to practice that social distancing. This really does affect 28 Million People between new york and new jersey where they are waking up for the First Time Since this lockdown. Weve seen long lineses at Grocery Stores in new jersey where the effect the change went into effect last night with the governor saying Everyone Needs to stay home. Phil murphy saying it could be weeks or months, all residents need to hunker down and not travel. I urge those who have homes at the jersey shore to not go to them at this time. The local infrastructure, especially the Health Care Infrastructure and especially in off season, is not prepared for the influx of parttime residents. Reporter similar rules going into effect in new york tonight at 8 p. M. , only essential personnel can go to work. All other residents can only leave home for food or exercise. Governor andrew cuomo giving daily briefings, usually lasting about aen hour. To an hour. President cuomo is even trending online. New york has more positive covid 19 cases than any other state, preparing residents for the long haul. April is going to be a lot worse than march, and i fear may could be worse than april. I think thats the honest truth. Reporter businesses and local businesses and other stores are locked up with the exception of Grocery Stores, pharmacies, medical supply, gas stations and liquor stores. This is a wartime reality with people needing to stay home and stay away from each other, and as people are locked away from loved ones, social medias actually helping a lot of people with physical challenges of working out at home and having social distancing hangout by video chat. And of all of the cases that were seeing here in new york, 54 of them are between people of the ages of 18 and 49, so the governor has seen places like this with people simply Walking Around parks, telling those people to take this seriously, it can affect them and to go to home. Arthel and, alec, if you could step aside and have your photographer to let us see a wide shot there. It looks like people are out and about, and theyre not supposed to be. The stay at home mandatory doesnt take effect until 8 p. M. Tonight in new york city, but paint that picture of the scene there for us. Reporter so we are seeing a lot of people sitting on benches. Of course, doctors are saying its important to still yet some kind of exercise, go out, walk your dog. But the main thing the governor is asking people to not do is essentially some of what were seeing, sitting around and pretending like something isnt going on. We are seeing people keep their social distancing, so that is 6 feet arthel alex . Reporter this only works arthel its just me and you talking. These guys just walked right behind you, they werent 6 feet away, people are just not paying attention. Theyre being knuckleheads. Reporter no, thats true. There are some people that we are seeing jogging next to each other, or they do have the 6 feet, but there are a lot of people here too whether they do live in the same household, thats one thing we can take into consideration. But as the governor mentioned, hes been driving around seeing parks where people are Walking Around or sitting next to each other, and theyre not keeping their distance. Arthel all right, alex hogan, you stay safe and keep those people away from you. Thank you, alex. Eric people, there is a pandemic. As we just heard, the nurses and doctors on the front lines across the cup, they need your help. In new york city we are told some hospitals will run out of masks in about three days despite efforts to get more, and there are desperate pleas for you to help and you can if you have any extra masks at home. The wife of an ophthalmologist whos also the mother of a hospital resident, elizabeth in new york, shes helping to organize an effort for people to donate surplus masks. You know, that n95 mask so that medical responders can be better protected. There is a severe shortage, and there were pleas for people who have ordered extra ones to, please, please, donate so our medical staffs can be safe. Without them treating us, there will be little hope. She writes, quote the situation for doctors and Health Care Providers at our hospitals is dire. Of that surplus you might have ordered online last month and keeping in your kitchen drawer, your doctors need them. They need them today. Health care providers are at significantly higher risk of grave outcomes from covid19 because of the viral overload to which they are exposed day after day. They are getting sick, and some will die. Heres new York Governor Andrew Cuomo on that. We have cries from hospitals around the state, ive spoken to other governors around the state, they have the same situation. They need these materials now. And only the federal government can make that happen. So i believe the federal government should immediately utilize the defense production act, implement it immediately. Eric and if you have anything to donate, please contact the Afya Foundation. Org covid19. They send supplies to disaster sites to 72 countries around the globe. You wouldnt expect that theyd have to do it now here. Another site is mask match, mask match, theyre on the west coast in the San Francisco bay area. They can send supplies directly to doctors and nurses. Its a vital need so, please, go to mask match or the Afya Foundation to get more information. Arthel we all are in this together, we have to help each other. Meanwhile, americas parks and beaches are seeing big crowds despite warnings about large gatherings and close contact. You just saw an example in alex hogans live shot. A doctor is going to join us next to discuss why keeping a safe distance could save lives. Ce adversity, we find a way through it. Its about taking care of each other. Its the small parts that make a big difference. At chevy, we promise to do ours. Were offering chevy owners complimentary onstar crisis assist services and wifi data. If you need a new chevy, interestfree financing for 84 months with deferred payments for 120 days on many of our most popular models. You may even shop online and take delivery at home. Its just our way of doing our part. Kelly clarkson whatre you doing on our sofa . Hey there whatre you doing on your sofa . Try wayfair. You got this woah. Yeah let me try all alright, get it blow it up thats what im talking about. Except thats my seat, so.

Brought to you by the National Association of broadcasters and this station. Of broadcasters that sofa on tv is iexactly what they need. And now, they know it too. Thats the power of targeted tv advertising. Its smart. It grabs peoples attention. Then they come to my store. Buy that sofa. And leave happy its easy, and its effective. And its why Comcast Spotlight is changing its name to effectv. Because being effective means getting results. Arthel so listen, some americans aring ignoring warnings about avoiding close contact during the coronavirus pandemic. People across the country are still packing beaches and other public spaces, sparking fierce backlash on social media. Christina coleman is tracking social distancing, and shes live in los angeles with that part of the story. Hi, christina. Reporter hi, arthel. Its early unclear what its going to take to get folks to take this Public Health crisis seriously. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo saying just last hour that while people are allowed to go outside and get some fresh air, gathering in groups to play basketball or baseball defeats the purpose of social distancing. You want to go for a walk . God bless you want to go for a run . God bless you. But lets open streets, lets open space. Thats where people should be, in open space areas, not in dense locations. There is no Group Activity in parks. That is not the point. Reporter the governors warning comes as officials nationwide are trying to drive home the message to citizens under stay at home and reduced contact orders. Now, this flyer was apparently circulating all over south florida, inviting people to a big party this weekend each though thats in direct violation of social distancing rules. The mayor of Miamidade County released a statement saying it was truly disheartening and responding by shutting the site down. And its not just florida beaches, theres large crowds of people out enjoying the spring weather in seattle and washington, of course, is one of the major hot spots for covid19 in the u. S. Right now. And here in california apparently theres the people still not following the governors order to stay home. Marin county officials tweeted photos of people out at the coast, theyre asking people to stay at home in order to protect vulnerable residents. And last night California Governor Gavin Newsom said all options are on the table to enforce the states stay at home rule. Were working with mayors on their thoughts about best approach to enforcement. And to the extent we feel people remain stubborn over the next few days, we will increase our effort efforts not only in outreach, encouragement and to the extent we must on appropriate enforcement. Reporter California Governor Gavin Newsom says the state is working with facebook and twitter on a Media Campaign to help enforce the stay at home orders, theres going to be billboards directing people on where they can go to learn more information about corid 19. So hopefully that helps. Arthel bottom line, christina, you know, we have to do this together. A little sacrifice now will help us in a major way in the long run. So thank you. Reporter absolutely. Whats it going to take . [laughter] arthel thanks, christina. Eric you know, some state and local leaders are warning nobody is um moon to this virus immune to this virus are. Governor cuomo had this dire warning saying that many new yorkers will get it. You have to expect that at the end of the day 40 to 80 of the population is going to be affected. So the only question is how fast is the rate to that 40 to 80 , and you slow that rate so your Hospital System can deal with it. That is all were talking about here. Eric so why is coronavirus so con stay juice con today juice, and how to can we prevent the spread . Dr. Brian gelvin, your specialty is lungs and breathing, thats why we have you on now. They say the coronavirus is ten times more contagious than the flu, much more aggressive and dangerous. Why is this straining why is it so virile . Well, its true. We dont know the exact contagiousness of it, but probably spread in a similar way as influenza. We do believe it is primarily spread person to person through droplets which means sneezing and coughing. In that mapper of spread manner of spread, usually you have to be within 3 feet of another person which is why were encouraging the social instancing. Eric there are some that say, well, you know, theyre worried that it can stay alive on surfaces for, what, 9 hours or so . Whats the latest on that in terms of touching a door handle . Yeah. So a lot of that information came from experimental studies where they purposely were aerosolizing the virus so to see how long it could survive, and it is true they were able to keep the virus alive both in the air and on surfaces. It depended on what kind of surface it was how long it could survive. So that is a concern and probably a reason why this virus slightly more contagious than inflew welcome back went sa. Eric well, realistically in the lab, you know, whats your gut say to you about is it in the air . What do we do if you go to the mall, you know, this sort of thing . I mean, i personally dont have much concerns when im walking outside. I dont think its that, its that transmissable that it could be just suspended in the atmosphere. I think those concerns about aerosolization really are more important for medical personnel who are going to be in a closed room with a patient who may be sneezing or undergoing a high risk procedure such as an intubation or receiving respiratory medicines. Think thats where you have a concern that the virus may be in an aerosolized form in a small room, and thats the reason why only medical personnel really need the n95 respirator masks which protect against aerosols. The rest of us, i think, are fine using normal masks, surge masks to surgical masks to protect against the droplet concerns. Eric you see a lot of people on the streets here in new york with those. Let me show you a study, numbers on the screen, folks, elle explain what they are. Comes from some of the top doctors in boston and new york. Lets say one person is infected. They say its times three, basically infecting two other people. So number one infects three. Those three infect nine. Those nine infect twentyseven. See the numbers go up, blah, blah. Then second line, 59,000 people, it keeps going up until you finally get to the very bottom right, 4,782,969 people. One person to spread if, according to this study up in boston, one person can infect almost five Million People. I mean, thats pretty astounding. Is that number for any virus or this shows the strength of this one is unique . Well, thats assuming this reproductive number of about three which is similar to influenza. It could be even higher than that. And the whole idea of bending this curve even if you can bring that reproductive number down to two or three one through social distancing, or youll make a dramatic change in the number of people infected. But as Governor Cuomo was saying in his briefing, you know, the reality is were all eventually going to be exposed to this veers. Were just trying to to this virus. Just trying to slow the spread so as not to cripple our health care systems. Eric and finally, doctor, theyre saying the reality that we will all be exposed, they say most are mild cases. Obviously, if you have an underlying condition, it can be very, very dangerous. Thats right. Eric and finally, your best advice for our viewers right now. Did you hear me . Just asking no, im sorry, i cant hear you. Eric i was asking your best advice for our viewers right now. Do you still have me . Well, the best advice is continue with the social distancing and the home isolation. If youre sick, you know, stay home. You can selfquarantine in your to own home away from other family members and continue to use with pushes rell purell, wash your hands, stay away from anyone whos sick. Eric stay home. Were going to have to live with that for a while. Doctor, thank you for your time this afternoon. Thank you. Eric of course. Arthel . Arthel the coronavirus pandemic is grinding travel to a halt. Now millions of hotel and Airline Workers are in danger of losing their jobs. What needs to be to done to save these industries . Thats up next. Open road and telling people that Liberty Mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need [squawks] the democrats had over the last8 hours with these working groups that you are far with. Now were at a point in the discussion where people will shortly have is to say yes or no, and im confident given the desire of the country to see an outcome that well get to yes. Were going to the cloture vote at three the, as you know, is on a shelf, and we expect it to get onto the shelf and hope we will have cooperation thatll give us a time to get on the bill without burning all of the postcloture time on the motion to proceed. What we have to be alert to here is one house democrat, for example, said this is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision. Thats not what this is about. This is not about unrelated policy changes. This is about direct assistance to American People and to Small Businesses, to hospitals and others who are in need because we in government at all levels, in order the deal with this pandemic, have basically shut the economy down. The crisis is wringing the country is bringing the country together. We are seeing all kinds of inspirational stories about how people are reaching out to others, and theyre expecting us to do our part, and we fully intend to do that tomorrow. With that, ill take a couple of questions, and thats basically all i can tell you at the moment. Yeah. [inaudible] Speaker Pelosi came out, and she said to us that [inaudible] she intends to introduce her own bill. It might be compatible, so are you on the same page with house democrats, or will a different bill entirely come from them . Well, youd have to ask her. What we intend to do here in the senate is to move forward with a senate bill. Im hopeful and optimistic well get bipartisan support because this bill has been negotiated on a bipartisan basis here in the senate. Itd be best for the country if the house would take it up and pass it just like we did earlier this week when the house passed a bill that i had only marginal participation in. Because the country was desperate for results. So i hope thats the way this ends. I believe thats the way itll end, and thats the way were going to go forward. Yep. [inaudible] does that mean [inaudible] is and waiting for a democrat to say an up or down or theres still time for changing your proposal [inaudible] and secondly, democrats [inaudible] planned parenthood and also that theres not enough with the money going to corporations to make sure they keep working. To extent possible. Yeah, were still talking to them. Procedurally, the way it works cloture will be invoked on a shell, not the actual bill. There is 30 hours of postcloture time. I hope we dont use all that 30 hours, and were still talking about those issues where theres still some disagreement. But make no mistake about it, well be voting tomorrow. I mean, the wheel has to stop at some point, and i dont want any of you to buy the notion that this isnt a thoroughly bipartisan proposal already. Its still some elbowing and ma moving for room maneuvering for room, as you can imagine, but this is a pretty solidly bipartisan proposal agreed to by a lot of rank and file democrats who were involved in drafting it. And at some point here, well have the stop, and thatll be the bill that we vote on. And in my opinion, that will be tomorrow. Thank you. Eric there is the majority leader saying that there will be a vote tomorrow on this bill as both sides still somewhat wide apart, but they do expect that vote and it to be finalized tomorrow which would provide billions of dollars to help struggling economies, the aviation industry, for example. A 12 trillion bill out of the senate and the house. It could provide, according to the latest number, about 1200 for individual taxpayers, 2400 for a family, 500 for a child. There are some income limits, about 98,000 right now is the upper limit for an individual, for example, is so there could be direct payments that we are told would come through the information that the irs has on you if you qualify for that. So well see exactly what happens when this economic bill is passed tomorrow and then signed by the president to try and boost and maintain the economy. Meanwhile, amid the Global Pandemic there is someone trying to help, the Salvation Army. As you know, its one of our largest nonprofit groups in the cub, and it remain in our country, and it remains committed. Dale bannon, National Spokesman for the United StatesSalvation Army, or joins us now. You know, we often think of the Salvation Army as coffee and doughnuts at some disasters and this sort of thing, but you are doing so much more. Helping people, we just talked about the money from the senate bill. Youre actually helping people with mortgages as well as debts and this sort of thing. Yes, thank you so much for having me, eric. Our mission has been the same in his name without discrimination. Were uniquely positioned. Theres 7600 centers of operation around the country to help respond to the most vulnerable during this critical time. We are seeing that one of the greatest needs in addition to serving homeless populations, we provide over 2,000 nights of shelter in one week. One of the greatest are for those who have been financially impacted because of covid19, many have had their hours cut or been laid off, and we believe this is going to have a longterm impact for people who are in need of help for rent, utilities. Theyre in crisis. One of the greatest needs right now is food. Ill just share a brief satisfactory warsaw, indiana, a young mom with her two kids, she was a waitress. She said normally i can make ends meet, but my hours have been cut due to the social gathering laws in her community. She said today i just need food. We were able to help her with a box of food. She was in tears. We prayed with her. This story is happening all over the country, ask were finding and were finding unique ways to deliver food to people through drivethrough pantries and also deliveries to seniors who might be shut in. Eric that is exactly what the Salvation Army is all about. Can you describe for our viewers who are watching now, how to they reach out to the Salvation Army . How to you provide payments to help utilities or to help rent and how to get food . Who do you call . Well, the best thing you can do right now from your home is to go to the Salvation Army usa. Org.

However, we also know that through these last couple of weeks people have been stocking up, theyve been going to Grocery Stores, ordering online.

So were encouraging you if you have extra product that you can donate to your local Salvation Army, you can go finish contact your local Salvation Army. The items that are needed are nonperishable canned goods, baby supplies such as diapers, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and paper products. Again, the best way is to donate financial thely but also also financially but also contact your local Salvation Army if you have product that you can drop off. Eric that is absolutely fabulous and a way to get the material and whats needed the people, but if youre on the receiving line finally, how do you if you need that food now or you need utility help right now, you need financial help right now, what do you do . Do you go online . Do you call your local chapter . How do you get that specifically e . Well, you can go to Salvation Army usa.

They sent a letter to congressional leaders last week writing, quote furloughs of American Travel workers are happening right now. Unfortunately, the unprecedented shutdown of the travel economy requires an even greater and more aggressive response to prevent millions of americans from losing their jobs. Roger is dowd is the dowel and and ceo. Thank you for joining us. Thanks, arthel. Arthel give me an idea off the top what travel and tourism workers and organizations would your requested federal aid cover . It would cover the entire travel industry. Its important the understand that its airlines, hotels and cruise ships, but its also many Small Businesses. 83 of travel businesses are Small Businesses, and these people cannot hang on for a very long time. Arthel okay. So this is the travel industry as well as the airlines, because i know the Airline Industry requested 50 billioning so is this all together . 50 billion. Arthel is this all together . No, for hotel and lodging were at 150 billion, 100 billion for the rest of the travel industry. So, no, thats on top of. Were going to lose 400 billion in the next few months in this industry. Arthel so let me ask you a question, mr. Dowel. So a 300 billion, does this coffer all runnings of the ladder including all rungs of the ladder . Thats the plan. The most important thing is to get the money, get the help to these people to keep their jobs or get them back fast. These are the people in america that need the jobs most. One in ten americans gets their job through the travel industry. Arthel so, again, youve got 300 billion in total, two 150 billion requests. So what are the top five big ticket items that this would cover . Big ticket items is, first and most important, is get payment to the employees, to the line employees, the people you just mentioned. They need the jobs the most. The second thing is get Credit Facilities so the doors can stay open so these businesses arent closed forever and dont go bankrupt. And the third thing is really improve the Small Business administrations capability, the cap of the amount of money that can be borrowed and get rid of the red tape. This is a crisis, and we have to move quickly. Arthel so if i have a Small Business, i can tap into this source that youre trying to get in terms of federal aid, and i can get that money to keep my Small Business open without going through a lot of red tape and no major interest rates. And thats the most important thing, arthel, that our elected officials move quickly. Theyre voting tomorrow, and we urge them to move quickly. This is urgent, and they can make a difference. Arthel so heres a major question thats very important, does this 300 billion federal aid request include projected bonuses for ceos and higherups . Absolutely not. We basically, the most important thing is to employ the line employees, the people who need the jobs the most. The ceos and folks like that will be fine. Ill give you an example, Arnie Sorenson from marriott, forgoing his its not about ceos, its about the line people, the people who need these jobs the most. Arthel uhhuh. And you talk about tourism and the travel industry. Without tourism, this ballout or stimulus package that youre talking about, what would that mean for the Tourism Industry as a whole and especially cities that heavily depend on tourism . How would this help them . Well, it would help them because the people that are employed in the industry would be able to still pay their rent, to pay their kids tuition, to buy food. With just talked about that. Thats how it helps. When people have money to do things, the economy will not tank. We have to help them now, and i cant stress how urgent this is especially for Small Businesses. Arthel ive got 20 seconds. How quickly, if you get the money tomorrow, lets say, or next week, how quickly can you get the money to the people . Really fast, please. Well, the treasury can get it there very fast through the banks, and thats what they have to do. Arthel okay. I have to leave it there.

[ fastpaced drumming ] arthel if youve ever planned a wedding, you know it can be expensive and take months to prepare, so what to you do when you lose your job, and your dream venue and invite list amid the coronavirus . Joining us now, newlywed madeleine and David Doherty jr. They seriously imvised when one thing the after another went sideways here in new york city. Madeleine, well jump right in. You make a nice couple, by the way. [laughter] walk us through what happened. Tell us. Oh, so so david and i were really excited, together we work in the Event Industry and have executed hundreds of events. It was finally our turn to get married, we had a big wedding planned and about 200 guests coming from all over the country and, obviously, with the coronavirus happening, it just wasnt fair to ask all these people to come, nor was it safe. And we decided to hold off. We were still really dedicated to getting married, so we actually had our officiant come over this past wednesday before new york kind of fully shut down and had five friends up on the rooftop of our building, and we did it. We got married. Arthel so you did it even though you wanted to look out for your friends that couldnt travel to you, and then you lost your job, and so you werent going to spend all that money, so you got married on the rooftop here in new york with your friends, and i understand, madeleine, you wore your gown, and then you had a little reception. Tell us quickly, because i want to get to something else. Yeah, we did. We came downstairs to our apartment where were sitting now and had these friends in our apartment. We had some drinks [inaudible] yeah. Our friends live in our building, fortunately, and two of my three brothers were in town. We played music, we listened to a lot of higher love which was going to be our introduction song and just sort of danced and had a great time. Ordered some shake shack burgers too. Arthel those are good. So, of course, youre back to social distancing, and the two of you are cocooned together. Madeleine, that could have been stressful. You have means im sorry you lost your job, and we take we dont take that lightly, but you had the means to maneuver and pull this thing off. Of madeleine, what did you still a stretch though. What did you learn about david throughout this, madeleine . Oh, thats a gate question. I learned that david a great question. I learned that david is by my side ready to jump and do whatever we need to do. He puts our relationship at the absolute forefront. Hes been supportive and just unbelievable through all of this. I think, you know, we can make it through these next weeks of quarantine, were really going to be able to make it through anything. Arthel yeah. David . What did you hearn about madeleine . Shes going to stay strong and persevere with whatever it is, and i think that shes shown that she can stay positive while still addressing the challenges and and openly are discussing and staying honest and still, you know, try to make the best decision while staying positive. Yeah. Were just really grateful. There are a lot of people in really bad situations right now, and we dont take that light arely. We were happy to be able to get married. We just, we have approached it with gratitude and positivity throughout the entire process even though it was not at all what we thought it would be. Arthel well, listen, im glad youre able to get married if, youre together, and thank you for sending a nice shot of love to everybody and a message of positivity, because we can all use it, and and we appreciate it.
