Doctors, they will come back and say for the rest of our lives we have to wear masks. Reporter the road map also talks about doing gps for social distancing. Following peoples phones and hotels for isolation for people. Giving them free hotel rooms. Are those ideas that youre looking at . The gps, that is a very severe idea. Ive been hearing about it. What happens a siren goes off if you get too close to somebody . That is pretty severe. He was with me for a long time. He did a great job at fda. So were going, were taking a look. I just received it a little while ago. He sent it over. So very good. Go ahead. Lets give it a shot. Sir what do you say to americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis over the last couple of months . We have it very much under control in this country, the coronavirus is very much under control in the usa. It is going to disappear. It is like a miracle. It will disappear. March 4th, we have a very small number of people in this country infected. March 10th, were prepared. Were doing a great job with it. It will go away. Just stay calm, it will go away. What do you say to americans who believe you got this wrong . I do want them to stay calm and we are doing a great job. If you look at those individual statements theyre all true. Stay calm. It will go away. You know, you know it is going away and it will go away. Well have a great victory. And it is people like you and cnn that say things like that, that it is why people dont want to listen to cnn you could ask a normal question. The statements are made, i want to keep the country calm. I dont want pan mick in the country. I could cause panic much better than even you. It would make you look like a minor league player. You know what . I dont want to do that. I want to have our country be calm and strong and fight and win and it will go away. And it is incredible the job all of these people are doing, putting them all together, the job theyre doing. I am very proud of the job theyre doing, that mike pence is doing, that the task force has done. That honeywell and Proctor Gamble and mike and all of these people have done. Im very proud. It is almost a miracle, and it is the way it has all come together and instead of a asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question, and other than that i will go to somebody else, please, go ahead. Reporter you expressed some concern in the past that medical supplies were going out the backdoor and that perhaps some hospitals were doing things worse i expressed what was told to me by tremendous power in the business. He said that at a New York Hospital for a long period of time he was giving 10,000, maybe maximum 20,000 masks over a short time and all of sudden he is giving 300,000. And i said, no matter how bad this is, could that be possible . He said, no. There is only couple things could happen. Is it going out the backdoor . And i reported it to the city and let the city take a look at it. But when you go from 10,000 masks to 300,000 masks, mike, over the same period of time, there is something going on. Now im not making any charges but when everyone is looking for masks, that is another thing, were making a lot of masks and the sterilization process will save a lot of time and a lot of masks but when you have the biggest distributor of product that distributes to many of the big hospitals and hospital chains, and he brings up a statistic like that, and you know youre trying to make a big deal out of it, but you shouldnt be. You should go to the hospital to find out why. You shouldnt be asking me. Im just saying that is the way it is. You should go over there as a great reporter. I have no idea who you are, that is okay. You should go over there, go to the hospital and find out, how come you used to get 10,000 masks and you had a full hospital . New york city, always full. And how come now you have 300,000 masks despite the virus and all, how do you go from 10 to 300,000 . This is very serious stuff. I could see from 10 to 20 or from 10 to 40 or 50 or something but how do you go from 10 to 300,000 masks . Sew what i think you should do, im sure a wonderful Investigative Reporter you should go to the hospital to find out why . Steve, please . Reporter [inaudible]. Well it is so bad for the economy but the economy is number two on my list. I want to save a lot of lives. Well get the economy back. I think the economy is boeing to comeback very fast. Steve is asking about the economy, what is it like . We basically shut down our country and we did that in order to keep people separated, keep people apart, theyre not in offices or in airplanes. 150 other countries are basically shut down. We had the greatest economy in the world. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. I had to go for doing a great job for three years to shutting it down. You know what . Were going to build it upi thie stronger for it. We learned a lot. We learned a lot. We have a great relationships with a lot of country. China sent us some stuff which waster was terrific. Russia sent a large plain load of things which was terrific, which was very nice. Other countries sent us things i was very surprised at, happily surprised. Were learning a lot, were learning a lot. And were also learning the concept of borders is very important, steve, it is very important. Having borders is very, very important. But we have done an incredible job. The economy is going to come back. My focus is saving lives. That is the only focus i can have. Well bring the economy back and well bring it back fast. Yeah, please. Reporter follow up. Please. Reporter thank you, mr. President. You said several times that the United States has ramped up testing. Talk a little quicker, a little louder. Mr. President , you said several times that the United States has rahmped up testing but the United States is still not testing per capita as many people as other countries like south korea. Why is that and when do you think that number will be on par with other countries and it is very much on par. Look, per capita. We have the areas of the country i know south korea than anybody. It is very tight. You know how many people are in seoul. Do you know how big the city of seoul is . 38 Million People. It is bigger than anything we have. 38 Million People all tightly wound together. We have vast farmlands. We have vast areas where they dont have much of a problem. In some cases they have no problem whatsoever. We have done more tests. I didnt talk about per capita. We have done more tests by far than any country in the world, by far. Our test something also better than any country in the world. And when you look at that as simple as that looks, that is something that is a gamechanger and every country wants that, every country. So rather than asking a question like that you should congratulate the people that have done this testing because we inherited, this administration inherited a broken system, a system that was obsolete. A system that didnt work. It was okay for a tiny, small group of people but once you got beyond that it didnt work. We have built an incredible system to the fact well we have now done more tests than any other country in the world and now the technology is really booming. I spoke to, i spoke to a lot. I will not mention. I spoke to a number of different Testing Companies today, and the job they have done and the job theyre doing is incredible but when abbott comes out does this so quickly, it is really unreal. In fact one company i have to say that stands out in the job, i think i can say this, i dont want to insult anybody else but roche. Roche has been incredible in the testing job they have done and theyre ramping it up exponentially. It is up, up, up, you should be saying congratulations instead of asking a really snarky question because i know exactly what you mean by that you should be saying congratulations to the men and women who have done this job, who have inherited a broken testing system and who have made great. And if you dont say it i will say it. I want to congratulate all of the people. You have done a fantastic job. We will see you all tomorrow. Thank you very much. Thank you. Elizabeth okay. Im elizabeth macdonald. This is the evening edit. The president just wrapping up the rose garden meeting with the Coronavirus Task force, giving the people the latest briefing again in the rose garden where they were joined by several key american Corporate Executives including from honeywell, united technologies, Proctor Gamble and jockey. They are pivoting their business their businesses to fight the outbreak of covid19. He also mix it up with reporters again. Lets get the update from Edward Lawrence who is in washington with more. Edward. Reporter President Donald Trump said it is critical that we follow the guidelines he laid out. In fact he said it could make all the difference in the next 30 days. Listen to this. By very vigorously following these guidelines we could save more than one million american lives. Victory, we have no other choice. Everyone of us has a role to play in winning this war. Reporter the president saying that the experts told him they believe that the number of deaths could peak right around eastertime which is why he moved that date to now april 30th going forward. He also paraded out a number of ceos that changed their corporate business what they were making like underwear and clothes to those masks that were needed, personal protective wear and medical equipment. You know as all of this is happening the president putting into place the u. S. Naval ship comfort that ship is in new york city docked, there it is you see in the video. A site normally seen off the coast of other countries hit by a Natural Disaster but in this case the coronavirus so overwhelmed New York Hospitals that patients without the virus are moved to the hospital ship so the beds in the hospitals can be used for virus. As banks dish out hundreds of millions of dollars in loans backed by the federal government, entire sectors helped by the u. S. Treasury, the president is appointing a new Inspector General to oversee the loans. The senate will confirm that person. In a statement on friday the white house saying there will be president ial supervision over the information that is given out by that Inspector General to congress. The president also talking with russian president Vladmir Putin who he said in the News Conference that russia gave the United States number of protect tiff medical equipment. On the conference they talked about how to combat globally the coronavirus as well as dealing with other global issues. The president saying that he talked to him specifically about venezuela and the dire need to stablize the energy markets. As you know that oil, the Oil Prices Continue to drop. Back to you, liz. Elizabeth Edward Lawrence, thank you for the update. Lets welcome my next guest. It is arizona senator Martha Mcsally who joins us. Also the senator is the First Female Fighter Pilot to fly in combat. Senator, thanks so much for joining you. How are you, liz . Elizabeth im good. Were hanging in here. Senator, officials warn no city will be spared. Cases breaking out in the midwest, in the south. Now we have 28 states with shelter in place orders for 200 million americans. Were talking about the worst of it is going to hit two weeks away from now. More than half the economy in shelter in place. Where does this lead . Where do you think this is going in terms of the president s plan to potentially get us out and reopen by june 1st . He is talking now, well be in recovery, but he needs to get the governors to lift their shelter in place orders. He doesnt have the power. I am in arizona. Last time i talked to you i was in d. C. And were collaborating with the governor and also with our local leaders this is an all hands on deck but were seeing the virus hit at different rates across the country. Which still need more testing capability here in arizona and i think the more we learn about this virus the experts have shared, understanding how it behaves, how it spreads, i think if we can get to a place to for example, test every Health Care Worker when they go on shift or every nurse in a nursing home or Skilled Nursing facility, we have a better understand hog has the virus and no longer does. Perhaps they are immune as were studying some antibodies, that is happening here at the university of arizona and tests happening to maybe harnessing antibodies to help the front line Health Care Workers. Arizona gets hot pretty soon. We dont know whether the heat will impact this virus along with similar ones. There is a lot of questions as we see local, state and federal decisions because this is impacting at different rates. Although we understand how important it is for us to be socially distancing in order to save other peoples lives. Elizabeth they are tightening the borders of florida and texas calling for travelers from the new york met crow area to selfquarantine for two weeks. I want to move on to this. Johnson johnson now says human testing of the vaccine to begin in september. Newspapers like the Washington Post quoting Health Experts saying we cant do this forever. Leader of france saying that we cant shut down forever. We need to have an economy to pay for the cures, to pay for Public Health. So that is an excruciating decision to be made. Infectious disease specialists talking about reopening plan, out of the American Enterprise institute, to what youre saying theyre talking about testing 750,000 americans. Do you think that is enough . I, we need to get to a place where the development of the vaccines need to continue. I think at last count there is about a dozen efforts going on. Another one here in arizona at Arizona State university. That ultimately is going to be able to defeat this disease but in the meantime we need to continue to be investing in the treatments, the trials, for the antivirals, harnessing antibodies, plasma, all the things youre hearing about. We cant wait until the fall. We cant wait until 2021. We want to make sure whatever treatments were using are safe. But they are fast tracking these trials so that we can get through the next weeks and months. Ultimately defeat this virus and a vaccine will protect but we also need to study obviously if it is mutating whether the vaccine will be impactful next year this is what all the experts, the greatest mind in america are on this. Im very proud of their efforts. Things are moving faster than weve ever seen before because this is such a critical situation and so many lives are on the line. Elizabeth you know the president again mixing it up with reporters in the rose garden there pushing back on the president , on statements from people like larry kudlow saying it was contained when it wasnt. Those questions continue to come up in these press conferences. How do you think the president is doing handling those questions . Well, i think people realize this is an unprecedented situation and i think all of us are learning a lot about this, this stopping of the travel from china, was significant and did buy us some time. There will be a time for us to debrief. We do this in the military but while youre in a war it is time for you to be taking notes but looking forward and not back and figuring out how we can all Work Together in a unified way, not a divisive way. Everybody is giving their all here. We all have the same objective to save lives, to protect our front line Health Care Workers to save the greatest generation. People can take notes. Lets do a debrief later. For right now lets break down the barriers, get more solutions out there, get more equipment out there to our front line heroes. Do everything we have can to defeat this thing. Elizabeth yeah. 2020 hindsight, monday morning quarterbacking, just not right now. Save it for later until we get, when we get out of this. The governor of michigan is also saying what youre saying too. Senator mcsally, thanks for joining us. We ran out of time. We have to go to commercial break. Senator mcsally will be back with us.
