Your reaction to the seemingly good news. We are not out of the woods. But it seems like its good news. The goal is to defeat the models. You saw the models in other countries where it went right up. We were trying to stay under that and keep our Healthcare System in check and not overrun. This is good news because thats what we have been after all along. We are starting to see the trend go down. Liz do you think the United States finally answered the wakeup call . The government has been warned about and deputy nicks sars, mers and ebola and zika. Americans may wake up to a brandnew word of having to wear masks to go into work and maybe tested for coronavirus. New apps on their iphones and phones to rack them . Do you think congress and the government has answered the wakeup call, that we arean and i of a jet stream of viruses going around the world . If we dont learn lessons from this, i dont think we ever will. We need to know whats coming across our border if we are going to protect ourselves. Unfortunately we have people in politic who think the border should be wide open. You go to other countries and they ask you about your health and where you have been. There will be many new normals. But there will be a medical scientific process that will be a new normal. Check whether something is growing larger than you thought it might be. And how quickly we nip things in the bud. Who needs to be quarantined. But we also learned some lessons about how well have to manage our supply chain. Right . Its a National Security issue. Liz thats true to bring it back home. There is also a lesson to be learned to stop politicizing everything. Doctors and hospitals are saying stop the finger pointing. Focus where the virus is coming out of, and thats china. We have those grew some wet markets up and running in china. China says they outlawed of the wet markets. The president said hes going to decide next week whether to cut funding to the World Health Organization. It reminds me of the nato model. There was a certain level of responsibility that comes with everybody who is in it. And the president was big on that. The world health organize is designed to try and allow us to nip things in the bud so we can act as one set of human beings on this earth trying to cut out disease. You have to be honest. The problem with the cop tonight system is the problem with the communist system is similar to what russia did after chernobyl. They dont want to admit when there is a mistake. There is no doubt about it that we have to do something to address. A lot of it should come from the World Health Organization itself. And i think the president will help drive that. Liz here is the issue. The w. H. O. Is saying its taking north koreas line that north korea has no cases. That cannot be believed. Also the line of rhetoric we are hearing in the media that other administrations Pandemic Responses were state of the art and we are learning they were not. Dating back from the 1980s. The Pandemic Response on the federal and state and local level was not up to speed. You look at the rhetoric coming out of china. The American Institute is sayi saying. Saying 2. 9 infections in china. We are seeing social media lighting up in bangladesh and pakistan against what is going on in china. Do you think the world is wake up saying we cant go through another pandemic like this . One of my medical colleagues has with been in touch with an Infectious Disease doc. One of the things the chinese doctor said to my friend is how come you all arent Wearing Masks in america. The reason is, you have them and you are not selling them to us. That was a problem and it goes back to the supply chain. What they will do to their own people and keep them in the dark. But the world is waking up. H. I. V. , it was four years before we had a reliable clinical test. I just would like to point out one of the opportunities that we have on the medical side, we have a lot of people who have gotten it and have recovered, and they will be eligible people to donate plasma that can help others that get this. Liz the issue is, too, should the president use the defense production act, should that be a step towards getting the medical supply chain back in the United States. China is moving to be a super power with the belt and road project. It tried to corner the market on remdesivir. It tried to get as many ventilators that it could before it told the world that it had an epidemic on its hands that turned into a pandemic. Dr. Robert darling is one of the leading Infectious Disease doctors. Hes still saying china wont give over the virus samples to study. That tells you it could have been an accidental release out of a viral lab. Or they dont want to admit the virus he natee emanated from the province. How do you hold china accountable . Those are some of the ideas republicans are pushing on now. What do you think . I think we need to pursue that avenue and see what happened. We have had terrorist attacks where certain countries did take responsibility and we were able to get some compensation. But i dont expect them to change their behavior. But we have to change how we view china and how we work with china or better yet how we dont work with china because they cant be trusted. Liz congressman wenstrup, thank you for joining us. Next up. The hot debate about reopening. Can the u. S. Do it . Will the nations 50 governors agree to the plan to reopen . Well debate it. R, i need all the breaks that i can get.

Ive been teaching for over 20 years. With everything going on, weve had to alter our classroom settings. We have to transition into virtual learning. On the network, we can have teachers facetoface with a student in livetime. They can raise their hand and ask questions. They can type questions. We just need to make sure that the education is continuing. vo at verizon, were here and were ready to keep students and teachers connected to the world. Thats why verizon and the New York Times are offering 14 Million Students free Digital Access to times journalism. Liz welcome back. You are watching the evening edit. Joel, welcome. The president said it will be the toughest decision he will possibly make to reopen the country by may 1. The whole idea is so essential to us coming out strong and surviving. About it requires testing, reporting, and tracing those contacts. Thats not going to be a one size fits all policy. That will be on a regional level and a county and city level. Im hopeful parts of the country will be ready to reopen. And we can see the spread throughout the rest of the country throughout the springtime. Liz you need an economy to pay for Public Health and the emt workers and our firemen and cops. Here is the forecast out of jpmorgan chase. They are seeing 25 Million People out of work by the end of the month. Are you seeing sufficient information coming out of all levels of government on testing, on vaccines, and on drugs . Do we know when the vaccines will be ready, when the tests will be ready . People are feeling there are bottlenecks in delays in testing. People are exhausted and want information. There have been delayed getting those reports. If someone knows they are sick. Even if they are not showing symptoms. Most people because they have common sense will stay home and avoid infecting people. If you contact somebody you think has it and you have to wait a few weeks, thats lost time. Its essential we build that testing capability. We had bureaucracy that wasnt permitting different times of testing kits. We have seen some of that resolved. Im hoping Going Forward the bottle necks will be much fewer. If we want main street to reopen again. We have seen 10 million jobs wiped out in just a few weeks. We have given up the gains that took years to sack inquiry. Years to ainquiry. A acquire. Liz here is the information coming out of oxford university. They are estimating 60 of the e u. K. Has already been infected and have immunity. We have seen the initial fatality rates go down in the u. S. We dont know. Nobody knows what the death toll will be thats a staggering number. Its concerning. But testing is key. We know new york state and the region of new york, connecticut, new jersey. Whose model do you think works the best when it comes to testing . Do you think you should get tested at your job . Even if you are not sure you have the right symptoms, you can get tested. Even if we have states and cities say you can open back up and you can go back to work and shop. If people are scared for their lives to go out because they dont know whether they have the antibodies. People are going to hesitate to leave even if they have permission. This is not just the government saying get back out there. We try to hammer home that point. You have got to be able to get the test results back quickly, and you have to be able to trace so we can restore confidence so governors and mayors are confident opening up their cities and people like me and you feel confident getting out there. Liz if they dont feel safe, they aint going to come out and consume and shop. Civil libertarians are up in arms about the phone apps that can trace you. And the use of drones with the voices of mayors in new jersey, florida and california where voices are flying over peoples heads saying go back inside, you are violating the shelter in place order. Thats not what america is about, they are saying it violates our values. Its Police Cruisers going by, telling people to disperse, even if you are on bikes, you are directed to different streets. I understand mayor and stiff officials are rightfully wary of this spreading. I think all of us are looking to move to a place where we can begin moving to a sense of normality. You look at some of the plans in place to gradually reopen society. I think well see that here as well. Its true. Certainly many countries in the europe are talking about reopening.

Can you give us the update on the status of vaccines and drugs and blood plasma therapy . How many months away are we to scope the covid19 outbreak . I hope not much. In the days or weeks. In the last two hours the new england journal of medicine tweeted that they are involved in a remdesivir study, one of the antivirals , and the preliminary dat data looks good. We have been hearing about hydroxychloroquine for self weeks. We keep hearing its anecdotal. But when they have get up to self thousand people they are not anecdotal any more. They are not double blind studies, but they are looking very good. Everybody with a chemistry set in the world is trying something. Several different studies in the same whose. Its looking very, very good right now. Liz there are 70 countries with 100 different Clinical Trials under way. The n. I. H. Launching a Clinical Trial of hydroxychloroquine. The pushback has been because there hasnt been a controlled test. But you are saying there have been enough anecdotal results. But the question is if it works on people with preexisting conditions. And does it work early. Can it be used troph before thet sick. All of those need to be answered. But we are drinking out after fire hose right now. And we need answers, results as quick as possible. And well get back to all the wonderful scientific studies the next self months. Where it d the next several months. Where its working that one seems to be working well and lots of folks are on it. Liz we have japan, avagan. The university of pittsburgh has a promising vaccine. , and in australia a tuberculosis drug. Thats what they are work on there. More than 300,000 people worldwide have recovered. That means possible blood plasma therapies. Are you optimistic about that . Very. And a number of Major Medical centers in this country are now harvesting blood plasma and giving it to the most critically ill patients. This is not somebody with a runny nose or sore throat. These are for the real sick people. We have a lot of people in this country who recovered. They can donate their plasma he week. You spin off the plasma and give the blood back. All you are taking off is the liquid part. The antibodies are in there. This is not brandnew scientifically. We are use it with early good results in other cases. And you can recreate those antibodies in a laboratory. Those are the antibodies we want to give people in a vaccine so they will create those antibodies which will give them immunity. Liz this is a scary disease because it immediately takes the oxygen out of your blood. Even before you show shortness of breath, it takes the oxygen off. We saw the rise, then the plateau, then they fall. Sit went away with sars by june and july. But it could come back. Spanish flu did come back. Are you concerned about this coming back in the fall and winter . Have much so. Spanish flu came back three times. We dont know if its weather dependent. We do know this disease is present in a lot of countries right now that are warm. There is a terrible outbreak in ecuador on the shore. There are lots of sick people. We have to plan that it will and hope that it wont. Thats what the Vaccine Research will do. If it comes back and we have plenty of people immune and the vaccine is working, then we are in good shape. Liz thanks for joining us, sir. Be well. Thank you, you, too.

Numerous militaries around the world have been infected with covid19. Asia, north korea. A sailor from the Teddy Roosevelt admitted to an intensive care unit in guam. 460 on board are even effected. The joint chiefs of staff is warning about military readiness. Whats your reaction to this story . This is a terrible story. We have 0 aircraft carriers. As you mentioned before we have 20 aircraft carriers. The navy has not done a good job with Senior Leadership. We had the secretary of navy having to resign after what he did. We dont have enough tests which i cant understand or explain and we dont have enough tests for the department of defense. We have to have a priority here. Two aircraft carriers is a lot. There are just 18. So its very, very troubling. To me its a Senior Leadership issue, not speaking up for the sailors or soldiers who ne
