-- gillian turner. leland: we'll see the president later in the show. and i'm leland vittert. one third of infections are in new york state alone. and keeping an eye on the next hot spot and detroit, and steve harrigan is in atlanta. and they are 1.51%. that's significantly lower than the world average that number will likely continue to change as more testing continues. as you mentioned new york hit hard and 40% of all cases in new york state about half in new york city. new york state has five times as many cases as the next highest state of new jersey and they are bracing for potential spikes in detroit with 900 cases up until now. chicago where they're warning there could be 40,000 hospitalizations next week alone and louisiana there are now 57 dead from the virus and they are warning that the jump in louisiana was 40% in one day. here is the governor. >> we have cases on all, but nine of our 64 parishes now and nobody should think that they don't have the resident virus. the novel coronavirus or in their parishes. i can assure you they're in every parish in the state of louisiana. >> some good news on the horizon, a test for the virus now gives you the results in 15 minutes, that's been approved by the f.d.a., 50,000 units of that test should be in use early in the coming weeks. leland, back to you. leland: steve, we have to wonder how quickly they can get the tests into doctor's office as well. steve harrigan. thank you very much. gillian. gillian: president trump is about to head out to norfolk virginia, a day after signing the massive 2.2 trillion dollar stimulus bill. mark meredith is reporting live from the tracking and all the president's movements today. mark. >> gillian, good afternoon. in norfolk, he's off for virginia, on the way up to new york and bringing much needed medical relief to the doctors and medical supplies here at the white house, at least on friday. the attention really was focused on the economic relief through the 2.2 trillion dollar stimulus package that the president signed into law. he says he hopes it will bring much needed relief to americans dealing with this every day. >> the legislation extends a vital lifeline to american families and american workers with job retention loans for small businesses and a big focus of the bill is small businesses. we expand the unemployment benefits for workers very is substantially and direct cash payments and going to substantial. >> this is a massive stimulus package and it's including things, including the stimulus check. and an adult making up to $75,000, and if you're married and under $150,000 in income and making sure that small businesses can keep their payroll and tax as well as 150 billion for hospitals. members of congress say this is a lot of money to consider, but that it was needed. >> 2.2 trillion dollars of what essentially is our grandchildren's money was a tough pill to swallow. it was tough, but the right thing to do and i can tell you hospitality in tourism, the bottom is falling out and they need this lifeline. >> as the congressman was saying, so many states have been asking for help. and the president with a number of disaster declarations. florida, texas, south carolina, new york, new jersey, more are expected as requests continue to pileup and the administration says allow them to help the states free up resources that they may need. there's been talk about another stimulus package next by congress. and the senate left town and not expected to be back in d.c. for the next few weeks so it will be interesting to see what the next possible package will look like and how fast that will happen. there's been so much in the air. as we've talked about the president getting ready to make his way away from the white house. and we don't see a briefing on the schedule for a coronavirus task force briefing, but we will watch things closely throughout the rest of the average. gillian: all right, mark, the next big question before maybe that stimulus bill for americans, is when are we going to get the checks. mark meredith live from the white house, thanks so much. leland. leland: speaking of the checks and what they're doing to public opinion. fox news poll how the people are feeling about the economy. 62% say they're nervous about things. 25% are confident. jing us now, mark cuban. mark, are you in the 62% or 25% who say they're confident? i'd like to meet one of those. >> yeah, i'm nervous, but confident that we'll come out of this on the other side okay. i just don't know when. in the interim, i'm as nervous as everybody else. leland: we're going to get more in terms of where the curve is looking from new york and governor cuomo, we apologize in advance for that. and we've heard the idea of a fourth stimulus and you've been a proponent of government money. how much money is too much to spend on this we might have an economy on the other side rather than being trillions more in debt? >> i don't know, we're in new territory, no matter what you're doing, it's ready, fire, aim and you'll make a mistake. i believe that the stimulus is warranted. if you do basic math. if there's 350 billion dollars and they borrow and the money is gone. we're going to need another stimulus for small businesses, i think the president is doing the right thing setting up for. leland: ready, fire, aim sometimes misses the target, why the saying exists. there are businesses that are still in business, like liquor stores that can get the loan forgiveness grants essentially, and forgive me if i'm mistaken, but it seems as though a number of your businesses could also be eligible for those grants and does that really seem fair? >> you know, it's r really-- it's hard to know. the way that the businesses at this moment, it's completely different in two weeks and i'm telling my shark tank-- >> mark, we're going to disrupt. i apologize. we've got andrew cuomo coming up and we'll see you on the other side of this briefing. >> there's anxiety, what does this mean, unemployment insurance, will it cover the bills? there's isolation, there's fear of the unknown. there's misinformation. you put it altogether, it is very disorienting to say the least. if you're feeling disoriented, it's not you, it's everyone and it's everywhere. and it's with good cause. today is saturday. you know how i know today is saturday because my alarm clock said saturday when i woke up this morning, but if you drive around, it doesn't seem like saturday, right? saturday is the day that people are off work, except people were off work yesterday. saturday's the day that the traffic is lighter. but the traffic was lighter yesterday. so it's literally, one day blending into the other. and just as a matter of perspective, a matter of context, it feels like it's been going on forever. but it really hasn't. new york state had its first case of covid just 27 days ago. new york schools closed only 10 days ago. the new rochelle cluster, which was the highest cluster in the united states, which thanks to the good work of our health department has now come down, that was 18 days ago when we started the school closings in new rochelle and we started the testing and the drive-throughs. overall shutdown of nonessential workers was only eight days ago, it feels like a lifetime. perspective, well, how long does this go on. how long do we expect it? china was the first test case, south korea started nine weeks ago, italy about eight weeks ago. so all, keep it all in perspective during this disorienting time where one day is blurring into the next. a lot of people ask me why is there so much talk about the ventilators? i never heard about a ventilator before. you're not alone. i never really heard about a ventilator before either. but every emergency situation is unique and every emergency situation winds up focusing on an issue that you would have never thought of before. we've been through emergency situations, super storm sandy, we needed 1,000 portable generators immediately. whoever heard of needing 1,000 portable generators? we had flooding in the northern part of the state. we need 700 miles of sand bags. whoever heard of needing 700 miles of sand bags. so there's always a particular circumstance that winds up developing in these situations that really you could never anticipate. and in this situation it is about a ventilator. why? because the majority are not the coming in needing surgery. it's a respiratory, they have trouble breathing, they have a cough and they all need a ventilator and that's the peculiarity of the situation. and compounding it, usually when we equip a health care system. people are usually on a ventilator for three or four days. with covid patients they're on for 11 to 21 days. that then compounds the ventilator issue. not only do you need more, but people are on them longer so you need even more and that increases the problem. i think the president was right to use the defense production act. with the-- what the defense production act basically says i'm not going to ask the private companies to help out, it's great we have volunteerism, but the defense production act gives the president leverage to say i need these produced and i need these produced by x dates. now, the federal government still pays, they pay an increased cost for the accelerated production, but it gives the federal government the ability to do that and when it comes to ventilators, they are the necessity in this situation. what do i do as governor? basically i ask people who know, i can ask the experts a lot of questions. and just staying on the ventilators. well, what if, what if, what if? what if we can't get the ventilators. what do we do if we don't have enough ventilators. then you use bag valve masks. what is a bag valve mask? this is a bag valve mask. this is what you do if you have a person who needs a ventilator and you don't have a ventilator. the way this works, it's basically a manual ventilator and someone squeezes the ventilator, the bag continuously. this looks easy, i guarantee if you do this for any length of time you see how difficult it winds up being. this is the alternative if you don't have the ventilator. we are actually buying these. we've bought about 3,000. we've ordered about an additional 4,000 of these bag valve masks. we're even talking about training national guard people to learn how to operate this devices which is relatively simple to operate, but you need a lot of people to operate this 24 hours a day for each patient. right? so those are bag valve masks. they're the alternative to ventilators. and in short answer is, no thank you. if we have to turn to this device on any large scale basis that is not an acceptable situation. so we go back to finding the ventilators because we need the ventilators. well, you need 30,000 ventilators, do you really need 30,000 ventilators? look. i'm not a medical expert, even a medical expert can't tell you what you're going to need here at the high point. they do numerical projections and then you plan based on the projection. you plan based on the data, based on the science, based on the numbers. the data says at that high point of need, you could need 140,000 hospital beds and you could need 30,000 ventilators. that's what the numerical projections say. so, we're planning for that, quote, unquote, worse case scenario which the models predict. maybe we never get there, maybe we flatten the curve and we slow the infection rate so we never get to that point and that's what we're trying to do and we're working on that day and night. but if we can't flatten the curve, you can't slow the infection rate, you hit that apex, make sure you're ready for the apex and that's where the 30,000 ventilators come in. i have no desire to procure more ventilators than we need. on a very practical basis, the state is buying most of the ventilators. the ventilators cost between 25,000 to $45,000 each so they're very expensive and you're talking about a state government that frankly is already in a-- from a position of revenues, in a terrible position because we're not collecting any revenues, literally. so i don't want to buy any more ventilators than we need to buy on a very parochial basis. i don't want to pay for them. and after this is over, we'll have a great stockpile of ventilators whatever we do, but the state has no interest in inflating the number of ventilators that we actually need. something interesting about the price of ventilators, when we started buying them, they were about $25,000. now they're about $45,000. why? because they're in such demand and there's such competition to buy the ventilators, which i'll touch in a moment. the governor has sent-- the government has sent us 4,000 ventilators. those 4,000 ventilators are not currently in use, why? because we don't need them currently. what we're doing is we're planning for that apex, we're planning for the critical need and making sure we have the equipment to stash the beds for that critical need. we're not at that critical need. projections change, but the model says you're 14 had to 21 days away from the apex they call it, when the curve hits the highest point. when the curve hits the highest point, it is too late to try to an i acquire what you need. acquire what you need now, that's the concept of putting together a stock pile. and that's the process we're going through now. we only have 14 to 21 days so it's not a significant amount of time, but do everything you can to get ready now. there's an old expression, you go to war with what you have, not with what you need. which is true. when the bell goes off and you have to go to war, you deal with what you have because it's too late to do the preparation. the "but" on that is until you're in this situation, do everything you can do to be prepared for it, right? if they tell you you're going to go to war in 14 to 21 days, then spend the next 14 to 21 days getting ready, everything that you would need when you actually have to go to war. for us the war would fully engage if and when we hit that apex and that's why everything we're doing now is in anticipation of that. flatten the curve so the apex never happens, god forbid the apex happens. make sure we have as much of the equipment and staff, et cetera, that we would need for that moment. a few updates. they still forecast the apex to be 14 to 21 days. again, that changes on the modeling every time the caseload goes up or down a little bit, that affects the calculation on the apex. what do you need at the apex? 140,000 beds. that's hospital beds, dormitory beds, we're working on that every day and we're getting closer and closer to that 140,000 number. ppe equipment, right now we have enough ppe in stock and all the local health systems say they have enough ppe in stock short-term. nobody has enough long-term so we're still buying and we're still talking to the federal government about acquiring more ppe. there is a concern among health care professionals because the c.d.c. guidelines suggest a different protocol for ppe and mask r masks, depending on the condition and apparently, there is a crisis set of guidelines for-- that the c.d.c. puts out for how many gowns, how often you change a gown, how often you change your mask, et cetera, in a crisis and the c.d.c. has put those crisis guidelines in place and many health care professionals are concerned that those guidelines do not adequately protect the nurses and the doctors and the health care staff that are working on this issue. dr. zucker is looking at that. if we believe the c.d.c. guidelines don't protect health care professionals, then we will put our own guidelines in place. you have a bed, you have the equipment, you need the staff, and that's where we're working on bringing more reserve staff and putting that reserve staffing in place and that's going well and then back to our favorite ventilator quest. a word to the local health systems, we need the local health systems to think more holistically, in other words, you'll have a regional health system, person new york, central new york, new york city, and they'll have a number of hospitals. you can have a single hospital get overwhelmed within that system. you can have the staff get overwhelmed. you can have one hospital where they run low on supplies. the local health systems have to change their orientation where it's not hospital by hospital, which is the normal culture. eve hospital is free-standing on its own. and is its own entity and buys its own equipment and has its own staff, et cetera. i need the local health systems to change their orientation and operate and plan as if that system is one. if you see a local hospital getting overwhelmed, shift to an adjoining hospital. both within the public system and the private system. you have public hospitals and then i have private hospitals, voluntary hospitals. we have to stop operating as individual hospitals and they have to operate as a system. and i need the local officials to do that. so patients can and should be moved among those local hospitals as the need requires. staff can and should be moved among those local hospitals as circumstances require. state department of health has not only advised that, but has mandated that. it's not the normal operating culture, but it is a necessity in this situation because depending on where a hospital is, you'll have hospitals getting overwhelmed because they'll happen to be in an area where there are not a lot of other hospitals or because that's a hot zone, cluster zone, that hospital gets overwhelmed. all right. shift, cooperate, plan, as a local health system. the -- may come a point where the state steps in and actually allocates among local health systems. this is when i said the other day, you may have patients from outstate new york being moved to upstate new york. why? because if the entire local health system in down state new york gets overwelcomed or the local health system on long island gets overwhelmed and the long island health system says to me, look we've allocated, we have eight hospitals. we have allocated everything we can among our eight hospitals, we're still overwhelmed. well, then we'll shift the burden literally to a different health system. and i just want them to anticipate that and see that that's coming. we've asked the pharmacies to cooperate above and beyond here and to do free home delivery. there are long lines at pharmacies right now. that's not good for anyone. i'm going to be speaking with some of the major pharmacy chains today to ask if they would be cooperative, but this would be a very big benefit. i understand it's a hardship on the pharmacies to provide home delivery. i'm asking them to do it free of charge, but it will make a very big difference. also, the department of health is monitoring the density and activity in the new york city parks, specifically on the playgrounds. this has been a problem. we spoke about it last week. the new york city mayor deblasio and the speaker cory johnson have spoken to this. they gave us a plan, we accepted the plan. the plan is premised on the fact that people will reduce the density in playgrounds. no basketball, no contact sports, social distancing. there have been reports that that is not happening and it's not in compliance. speaker johnson has made this point and i believe he's right. so if the density compliance is not working on a voluntary basis, we could get to a point where we will close those playgrounds, so i again ask the people in new york city, especially young people, please take this seriously for yourself and for others and let's do it on a voluntary basis. we're also now administering 1100 tests of the hydroxychloroquine and the z zithromax. and this is what the president is optimistic about and we hope to be, also, and we're now using it on a large scale basis particularly in the new york city hospitals and getting soon. javits will open monday, i was there yesterday, it's a 1,000 bed emergency hospital. it's amazing what the army corps of engineers did in a short time. it was about one week and the progress they made is really extraordinary. and i want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. the army corps of engineers, the national guard, which is our work force that we call out in all of these situations. i've worked with many of them and i know them after so many situations together. but they showed up and they've really done a great job and this should open on monday. the us comfort is going to be on its way as of today, i'm told. the president is going to be seeing it off and it should be here on monday. that will bring 1,000 beds. it also brings medical personnel, which frankly are more important than the beds in this case and has operating rooms, et cetera, we'll use it to backfill and take pressure off a hospital. so a hospital can backfill onto this 1,000 bed facility. i hope it gets here monday and i will greet it with open arms. i spoke to the president this morning, actually just before i came in today. i apologize for being a few minutes late. and the president approved four new sites for emergency medical facilities, one in brooklyn at the port authority cruise ship terminal, it's called. and one in queens at aqueduct race track. one on staten island and one in the bronx at the new york expo center. i went and toured the sites yesterday. they are perfect-- well, perfect, i don't know if this is perfect, they are appropriate and suitable to bring in large scale medical facilities, the 100,000 square feet. 120,000 square feet. they're open. they have electric, they have climate control, et cetera. so this is going to be a big event and it's just going to be-- it will add another 4,000 beds and there's one in every borough in new york city, which was important to me. every borough knows that they have a facility and they're getting the same treatment that everyone else is getting. i mean, new york city outer borough personal. you don't know that classification unless you're from new york city. outer borough, queens, brooklyn, staten island, bronx, outer boroughs. manhattan is an inner borough, and they never call it an inner borough. leland: we'll continue to listen to governor of new york as he has an update. and on the lawn, the president has spoken before going to marine one. he's in the air. and listen to this and then the flight down to nor fork. >> is your timeline off the table now, sir? >> no, we're going to see what happens. we want to get our country back to work. the doctors, nurses, first responders, everybody doing a phenomenal job like theen good. the comfort, the great ship comfort is stocked up to the gills, it's right up to the top and we're going over there, and i guess some of you are coming with me, but we're going to send that up to new york four weeks ahead of schedule. and it is loaded up with everything. so that's great. i just spoke with governor cuomo and he's expecting it on monday. it will take about two days so we're excited about that, but i'm going to see the people that did the work because it was supposed to take a good four weeks and we did it in four days, so that's pretty good. >> mr. president, have you talk to mark cuban about 3m and-- >> no, i think that 3m has done an incredible job. i just spoke to ken langone, he's on the board of 3m, what a great job they've done. and i think that 3m from what everybody said they've done an incredible job. >> mr. president, do you think they'll have enough ventilators. >> we'll have plenty. >> and in the next week or so-- >> we're going to use, i would say we'll use it again maybe once or twice, we have a couple of little problem children and we'll use it where we have to. but overall, i tell you, the private, free enterprise system is at work like nobody's seen in a long time. >> what kinds of supplies. >> a beautiful thing to watch. >> what kinds of supplies might you use the dpa to produce? >> we'll look at two companies that have not lived up to what they said. would i say they're in the 1% group, okay? and all of a sudden they heard we're going to use it and they're rolling out the red carpet. >> could anyone who lives in a state that has a governor that you're not getting along with well be concerned at all? >> i think really most of the governors are very appreciative as i said i just spoke with andrew cuomo and i just spoke with ron desantis and we're thinking about certain things. some people would like to see new york quarantined because it's a hot spot. new york, new jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of connecticut, quarantined. i'm thinking about that right now. we might not have to do it, but there's a possibility sometime today we'll do a quarantine, short-term, two weeks on new york. probably new jersey, certain parts of connecticut. >> restricted travel from those places? >> restrict travel because they're having problems down in florida, a lot of new yorkers going down. we don't want that. heavily infected. we're having a really good dialog with governor cuomo. we've supplied them with a lot of things, giving them an extra four medical centers, tents, that's beyond what we've already given. and as you know, we're getting up to new jersey, doing a great job with the governor of new jersey, doing very good. >> would that be a more enforceable quarantine, sir. >> this would be an enforceable quarantine. i'd rather not do it, but we may need it so i'll see you over at the ship. >> thank you, mr. president. >> president trump there heading out to marine one. that was just a couple of minutes ago, taped playback what we call that coming out of the white house. the president is now heading to joint base andrews for the quick flight down to norfolk, virginia. there he'll see the usns comfort. and just like had a magic. marine one landed at andrews air force base. joint base, and he'll leave marine one and head over to air force one and bringing in gillian turner in d.c. monitoring this, gillian this would be pretty stunning when the president talked at the end there about a possible enforceable quarantine, which would be a major change and sort of a major escalation of what is being done to combat and to control the coronavirus here in the united states. i don't know how you restrict travel out of connecticut, new jersey, and new york, but it's clear that there are contingency plans they've thought about. gillian: well, the president has said for weeks now that he hopes never to have to oversee any kind of enforceable quarantine like this, but he did just make that admission right there on the south lawn. he said parts of new jersey, parts of connecticut, parts of new york, this inspired, if it comes to pass, inspired in part with a conversation he just had with governor ron desantis, lots of folks from new york not supposed to be travelling intersta interstate are going to florida and causing problems there. it looks like the president and his task force is considering quarantine in response to people not sheltering in place as they've been requested to do. leland: and this would bring questions for ron desantis for not locking down florida, and spring breaking in tampa, and et cetera, and down playing, and trying to keep the tourism and you remember the big goodbye party in disney. and the practical one, how do you do this? are you shutting down highways? that means you shut down supply chains which new york, connecticut, new jersey, certainly needs a lot of goods coming in and goods going out. do you shut down, is this the beginning of shutting down commercial air travel? is this simply checking people's i.d.'s, a lot of questions there. you won kind of wonder whether the president was foreshadowing this to say i'm really serious or something else? here is the president walking over to the pool next to the plane. we'll listen in and see if we can pot up those microphones. >> we're looking at it and we'll be making a decision. a lot of the states that aren't infected and don't have a big problem asked me if i'd like at it. we'll look at it and it will be for a short period of time if at all. it will be new york, parts of connecticut, and parts of new jersey. >> does that mean you close down the subway, close down the bridges. >> no, we're talking about leaving new york, leaving new york. they go to florida and a lot of people don't want that, so we'll see what happens. we're going to make a decision. >> do you need the military for that, sir. >> we're not going to need much. and the people of new york they understand it better than anybody and they'll be great. i'll speak to the governor about it later. [inaudible question] >> yeah, we have a great oversight, a great oversight committee, a lot of people watching and it's a wonderful thing we've done for the workers and for the citizens, it's really potentially 6.2 trillion dollars and a lot of people are going to work and it will bring back the economy i think very fast. okay? okay? >>, [ [inaudible question] . >> she's saying they're criticizing me the democrats, w why, they voted they got a unanimous vote. leland: the president there trying to clear up a little bit about what we heard at the end of his discussions on the white house south lawn with the press and walked over to the press again under the wing of air force one, talking about this quarantine, it seems like he's trying to find a way to prevent people from leaving new york, new jersey and connecticut. at one time i was told there were so many private jets leaving new york for palm beach and other private airports along florida's east coast they were having a problem finding a place to park the jets. gillian: there's been an exodus out of new york, anyone who had the means to get out of the city has done so, people going to stay with friends, going to stay with family who live elsewhere and we are now seeing as a result of that, certain new outbreak hot spots in new york state, where there were no cases. parts of long island, seeing these small clusters as a result of so many folks from new york city fleeing the city. i think we've got to point out the other headline from the president just now is he told one reporter he's thinking of possibly invoking the dpa, defense production act, once 0 are twice again this coming week. he declined to say what specific products he would use it for, but he just said again, heads-up, it's probably coming your way, america. leland: well, coming your way also to america, even rural states who have been sort of saved from this, a stay at home order effective monday. -- effective now through monday-- i'm sorry, effective monday through april 19th, kansas governor issues a stay at home order and these are the rural states that had been able to escape the hot spots as you put it, gillian, are now beginning to lock down as well. the president is headed to norfolk to send off the usns comfort, a hospital ship headed up to new york and we're obviously going to stand by the president's remarks and have those live here a little bit later in the show. when we come back we're going to take a look at the economic impact as the president continues with another possible quarantine as he is talking about in new york and lock things down. the economic effects ripple out. you can see the press headed up the stairs of air force one. we'll monitor the departure of that in just a moment. my best friend who sleeps over every friday night, doesn't count.

but we want you to know, we're with you. >> we are back. we're going to take a closer look apartment the relief package that congress finally passed yesterday. how it's going to impact small businesses, large businesses and the entire national economy. i want to bring in senior wealth advisor at payne capital management, courtney dominguez, and small business majority ceo, john arends meyer. thanks for standing by through the breaking news so far. courtney, to you first, i want to ask you about this chart-topping, record-breaking 3 million americans who applied for unemployment benefits this week, setting a new record high. i believe the precise number 3.28 million americans. just three weeks ago we had a record low, less than 200,000 americans applied for unemployment. >> exactly. yeah, and i think that's really just going to go to show you the magnitude of how this is affecting the economy and some of those people are getting more furloughed and hopefully it's going to be a temporarily relief of unemployment and some are potentially more permanent. i think that's what you're seeing in the stock market discounting the last several weeks is knowing some of this data is going to come out. i think it should just be a good reminder when it comes to the market or your money invested in the markets, they are forward-looking and they have been pricing in a lot of this. so it's pretty interesting. it's even with those record unemployment numbers coming out, the markets were up 6% the day those numbers were released and up almost 13% this week. it just goes to show you the markets are a discounting method and they actually tend to bottom, four to six months, before the recession ends and this is a good reminder of that. gillian: john, the latest fox news polling we had, quite surprising, 43% of americans who participated in this poll say that somebody in their household has either lost their job entirely or had their hours cut back the last few weeks because of this virus. if you read the tea leaves for us there, what do you pull out of that? what is your takeaway? >> unfortunately, the numbers are only going to get worse. it's total carnage out there. we've seen millions of small businesses, their demand go from 100 miles per hour to zero overnight. this is unprecedented. it certainly didn't happen 12 years ago and didn't even happen in the great depression where there was a gradual slowdown, this is like the car has hit the wall and stopped. and the businesses closing, the unemployment numbers are just going to get worse. what we need now, there are three s's, size, speed, simplicity and unfortunately, i'm not sure that the bill that the congress passed and the president signed gets us there. gillian: courtney, the government is floating the idea of taking a stake in major industries that it's offering a bailout to, sort of a tit-for-tat in, change for bailing you out now, take a stake, like, for example, in the airline industry. is this a good idea for you or a slippery slope? what do you think? >> we've got to see the details of what they're proposing. it's a sign that they're throwing the kitchen sink to prop up businesses and individuals to get them through this time period because they want to make sure that when all of this passes we can get back to just as good a footing in the economy as beforehand. any sort of tools they can use, i think at least having those conversations is a positive sign. gillian: well, we've got to leave it there unfortunately. thanks to both of you for standing by and sharing your expertise with us. we appreciate it, courtney dominguez and john arends meyers, we'll have you both back soon. >> thanks for having us. leland: all right, the usns mercy docking in los angeles docking with much-needed medical staff and about 1,000 hospital beds. christina coleman joins us live from just outside where she is docked. hi, christina. >> that's right, the mercy docked here at the port of los angeles. local officials say it will be a big help. details on the navy ship coming up. >> well, live pictures from norfolk, virginia, awaiting the president's arrival there. you're looking at the usns comfort, that's the hospital ship that's going to be headed up the east coast to new york with 1,000 hospital beds to try and relieve some of the pressure on the hospitals in new york, that we understand are at or very close to capacity with coronavirus patients. the sister ship of that, the usns mercy right now is in los angeles to help relieve pressure on the hospitals there. christina coleman from the port of los angeles. christina, have they started putting patients on the mercy yet? >> not yet, not that we've heard, but i can tell that you this navy ship can be in service today. there's been a lot of preps going on. l.a. mayor garcetti says he could see the numbers surge to the new york city, in the next week or so. they say it's a huge deal to have it here in california and one of the hardest hit states and having it here will be a big help. >> men and women on the ship, navy, marines, civilians, the coast guard that's helping protect that and our port police, are fulfilling an extraordinary mission, ensuring those patients who don't have covid-19 will have a safe place to be where they can find excellent medical care. with the arrival of the ship we're now better prepared to handle that surge of patients we know will walk through the doors of our hospitals in the days ahead. >> los angeles county the most populated county in the nation and its coronavirus cases have tripled since last week. 26 covid-19 deaths and more than 1400 cases in l.a. county alone. now shall the mercy doctor at the port of los angeles, and it will operate with more than 1100 personnel. patients who don't have the coronavirus will be treated on this navy ship and it will free up local land-based hospitals to treat covid-19. governor gavin newsom and president trump have been in the effort to fight the coronavirus. >> gavin newsom, we've been working together, and the hospital ship, you know the other hospital ship, they're incredible that just arrived in los angeles fully stocked. >> and the navy hospital will be able to offer a full spectrum of care, including general surgeries and again, it's expected to be in service, it can be in service at sometime today. leland: all right. christina, thank you very much there in los angeles. the president headed to norfolk. we'll have his remarks on the other side of the break.
