The 6yearold girl in tears, arrested at school, her hands tied behind her back. Whats now happened to the officer. The catholic deacon attacked during mass. And news tonight on our Parent Company, disney. Bob iger, after a storied run, stepping down as ceo, calling it an historic day. Tonight, iger right here with his replacement and bob igers new role. Good evening and its great to have you with us here on a very busy tuesday night. And we begin tonight with that new warning from the cdc about the coronavirus here in the u. S. , saying it is not a question of if, but when, and saying americans should prepare. Tonight, the cdc reports the number of those sickened stand bls at 57 in the u. S. , all of them in quarantine and in treatment. The warning comes in part after the virus spread quickly across several towns in italy. More than 200 cases reported. At least ten people have died. And an italian tourist testing positive on a spanish resort island. A large hotel with 1,000 guests now on lockdown inside. And look at this tonight. In iran, the Deputy Health minister testing positive for the virus after appearing visibly ill during a News Conference meant to calm nerves about the outbreak. President trump tonight saying he thinks its going to work out fine, but lawmakers on the hill asking questions. We begin with Abcs Steve Osunsami at the cdc in atlanta. Reporter u. S. Health authorities tonight say theres no doubt well see more of this. Americans sick with the coronavirus, who need to be kept in isolation. The doors are specially sealed. Reporter carl goldman is one of 57 americans fighting the disease. We are asking the American Public to work with us to prepare and the expectation that this could be bad. Reporter in their most clear warning yet, the cdc all but promises that the coronvirus will spread here and that americans need to prepare. We expect we will see Community Spread in this country. Its not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness. We really want to prepare the American Public for the possibility that their lives will be disrupted because of this pandemic. Reporter at a 3m factory in south dakota, where they make masks and respirators that help protect from the disease, theyre working 24 7 and still cant produce them fast enough. We were told by the experts nih, cdc, that there is a very strong chance of an extremely serious outbreak of the coronavirus here in the united states. Reporter in a hearing in washington today, the government shared that it could need about 300 million respirators to be used by health care workers, but only has about 30 million onhand. That didnt go over well. Youre head of homeland security. Do we have enough respirators or not . Reporter what has authorities alarmed are the clusters of outbreaks happening outside of asia that are not directly connected to asia. On the canary islands, off the eastern coast of africa, more than 1,000 tourists are trapped in a hotel because an italian guest came down with the virus. In italy, more than 322 confirmed cases, with ten people dead and they havent even found the source of the outbreak. In iran, at least 15 people were killed by the virus, and nearly this health minister, who yesterday was on camera downplaying the danger as hes seen coughing and wiping his brow. Today, he learned he, too, has the coronavirus. The Trump Administration today was trying to bring calm to both the panic and the economic markets. Stocks are down today again. We have contained this. I wont say air tight. But pretty close to air tight. Reporter the president says theyre throwing everything at this. Very well under control in our country. We have very few people with it, the people are getting better, theyre all getting better. Reporter theyre hoping the virus dies out with warm weather. Lets get to Steve Osunsami with us tonight. And steve, i know we learned late today that some American College students studying abroad are now coming home from italy tonight, at least one university . Reporter thats right, david. Syracuse university is suspending its Study Abroad Program because of the coronavirus in florence, italy. This effects some 342 students who they now have to bring home, make arrangements to get them back to the u. S. Currently, the u. S. Government has no travel restrictions to italy because of the coronavirus. David . Steve osunsami tonight. Steve, thank you. We know a lot of you at home have questions tonight. Lets get right to dr. Jen ashton. And jen, that warning from the cdc that americans should prepare, they said not if, but when. This sounds alarming so lets try to reassure some folks at home tonight. Who are going to want to know the numbers, how this is affecting people what we know so far. Reporter well, we still dont know the exact numbers worldwide, with countries like china and iran likely not fully reporting and other countries may not be capable of reporting. But of the cases we do now, it appears that 3 cause critical disease, 15 cause severe symptoms and about 82 then cause mild infection. 82 . Thats going to be encouraging for people watching tonight. When you heard the cdc warning that American Families should prepare, i assume they dont mean a run on Grocery Stores right now. What are they hoping for . Reporter i dont think they meant to rush out to the grocery store, david. I think that some common sense precautions do apply here. Go down a mental checklist. To make sure that you are ready. Reach out to some school contacts, if you have children in school, about any possible contingency plans that might include child care providers. And stock up on a few home supplies, just so youre not doing this at the last minute. I think its really important now to act based on evidence, not emotion. All right, jen ashton with us tonight. Dr. Ashton, thank you. And this warning from the cdc fueling new fears on wall street. The dow plunging for a second day now, falling 879 points, nearly 2,000 points in two days. So, lets get right to abcs rebecca jarvis, live at the New York Stock Exchange again tonight. Rebecca . Reporter good evening to you, david. Thats right. In just the last two days, the dow has lost 1,910 points and u. S. Stocks have wiped out 1. 7 trillion in value, some of the hardest hit companies are those airline stocks, down 12 in the last two days. United, american and delta alone have wiped out about 6 billion in their value. And apple, a company thats in a lot of Retirement Savings accounts and a lot of 401 k s out there is down 12 product from the alltime high it hit earlier this month. David . Rewek ka, thank you. Were going to turn to the race for 2020 and the debate this evening in south carolina. The clear frontrunner on the democratic side at this point, Bernie Sanders, facing new scrutiny. Abcs mary bruce tonight from south carolina. Reporter Bernie Sanders is the netotarget and hes giving his rivals fresh ammunition, defending his recent praise of fidel castro. He initiated a major literacy program. You know what . I think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. The truth is the truth. And thats what happened on the first years of the castro regime. Reporter the comments sending shockwaves. A spokeswoman for the dnc says, we are very clear in the Democratic Party that we speak out against brutal dictatorships like those of castro. As a democrat, i dont want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the castro regime. Reporter joe biden is attacking sanders on another front, highlighting this statement from 2011. I think it would be a good idea if president obama faced some primary opposition. Reporter sanders defends himself. I ended up campaigning for obama and im a strong supporter of all that barack obama has accomplished. Reporter but biden hopes the comments fire up africanamerican voters heading into saturdays mustwin primary. It all starts here in south carolina. It starts here, for real. For real. Reporter Michael Bloomberg tonight is looking for a doover after he flatlined in the last debate. Pummeled over allegations of sexism. None of them accuse me of doing anything other than maybe they didnt like a joke i told. And let me reporter his girlfriend diana taylor now says Everyone Needs to get over it. Life has changed. I grew up in that world. It was a bro culture. We have come a very, very long way. It was 30 years ago. Get over it. Mary bruce with us live tonight. The Bloomberg Campaign quick to distance itself from the comments today. The mayor knows he has to do better than he did in the last debate. Reporter yes. Now bloomberg has barely been seen since the last debate. Instead, hes been intensely preparing and now offered to release three women who have filed complaints against his company from their confidentiality agreements, but david that is not likely to satisfied him opponents like elizabeth warren. David . Mary bruce, thank you. And to the Major Business headline this evening, news from our Parent Company, disney.
