Okay, whit. Thank you very much. Joining us now is debbi loftus who is on that grand princess choose ship docked off the coast of San Francisco this morning. Debbi, thanks for joining us. I know youre traveling with your parents in their 80s in a room right there next to you. How did you all find out what was going on on the ship . Well, about two days ago we had a piece of paper slid underneath our door telling us that the cdc determined that theres some people on the boat that were symptomatic and that we were having to head back to San Francisco and miss our stop in mexico. So we can see you in your room there now. Its our understanding that youre now confined to that room but passengers were allowed to mingle even after it had been discovered that there were previous passengers who tested positive. Is that concerning to you . It wasnt concerning because we all figured wed been together and mingling for the last 13 days so if we were exposed to it, it would have happened already. What are the conditions like for you right now . Are you getting food . Being able to see your parents . Were next door and theres a little door between our balconies that is open and so ive been able to see them and play some cards with them. Good. Were glad you can keep an eye on them. I want to ask, did you have any concer a cruise in the first place given everything thats going on with the coronavirus right now and what has happened to previous cruise ships in recent weeks . We did have some concerns and especially because my parents are elderly and my mom has asthma, so we talked it over and we just figured that we that there was a small chance, but it was worth taking. Do you feel like youre getting information you need from the crew and the cruise line at this point . You have what you need . The captain is coming on every two or three hours to keep us updated as to whats going on and what the cdc is telling him and whats being required of us. Well, debbi, thank you very much. I wish you well, i wish your parents well and the same for all the other passengers on board with you right now. Thank you and lets just pray everything comes back negative. We should know about 9 00 this morning pacific time. Be well. Well, theyre still in good spirits. I guess they figure if youre exposed what can you do but follow the guidelines and hope for the best. Selfquarantine. So many people affected around the globe. Thousands of new cases of coronavirus were reported overnight. The number now topping 98,000 worldwide. James longman is in london where the virus has now turned deadly. Good morning, james. Reporter yeah, thats right, amy. Good morning. Here in the uk weve now had our first death from coronavirus. The Prime Ministers Office saying its likely it will spread in a significant way and it seems that the way it started in china is now cresting here in europe. Italys cases keep jumping and now the vatican has its first case. A Medical Clinic there has now been shut down for sterilization and take a look. This gives you a sense of how quiet major Tourist Spots around the world are. Rome, spanish steps as they normally are and now and a similar picture in mecca, saudi arabia, look at what it usually looks like and now that its been restricted. The holiest site in islam. Millions of people are being affected by this. But there is a glimmer of hope in asia. The World Health Organization has said the spread there appears to be declining so youve got to hope a decline follows now for the rest of the world. They do warn that this virus is still very much a threat for all nations. George. James longman, thanks. The consequences of the coronavirus are also cascading across the global economy. Wall street bracing for another wild day after the dow plugged nearly a thousand points thursday. Rebecca jarvis tracking it all from the new york stock exchange. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter good morning, george. Thats right. Just as American Families are asking this question, how might we deal with the coronavirus and the outbreak, wall street is asking that very question. How will the consumer respond . As consumers we make up 70 of the economy. Our spending matters and businesses have already cut back dramatically from boeing to ford to amazon, all telling their employees not to travel. Weve seen it reflected dramatically in Airline Stocks across the board. United, american, jetblue, all getting crushed. They have been waiving those change fees allowing people to cancel, but that hasnt helped as far as the stocks are concerned. And for the cruise companies, those stocks have been cut in half, and when we look at this virus and the impact it might have on the economy here, we can look to china and whats already happened there. U. S. Companies with a presence there, for example, starbucks which does about 10 of its business in china, they say that in this quarter they, george, have seen sales dip 50 because of all the stores theyve had to shutter as a result of this virus. What a huge drop. You mentioned companies banning travel for their employees. Youre also seeing more and more companies telling their workers to work from home. Reporter this is a giant experiment. We heard it from whit earlier in the program. A number of companies in seattle have told their employees to stay home. Amazon, facebook, microsoft among the companies and, george, i have heard from a number of Business Executives who are contemplating the same measures for their companies. That could apply to millions of employees here in the u. S. , george. More to come. Rebecca jarvis, thanks very much. Amy. Well, as thousands of people selfquarantine here in new york and those passengers are told to stay in their rooms on the grand princess, a lot of questions about how well these quarantines will work. Lets bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton. We heard about those passengers and heard from them who are stuck on to cruise ship. The last time people selfquarantined on a cruise ship it did not end well. Why is this still the best course of action . Obviously as most people can imagine you have a lot of people in close quarters. In general we think the closer and longer the contact, the greater the risk of spread or transmission and to decide whether or not to keep people on a cruise ship like that its risk versus benefit. Its what are the risks of keeping them on and what are the risks of letting them off . What are the benefits of keeping them on and what are the benefits if theyre let off . Very difficult risk benefit analysis. We heard from james longman, good news potentially, in china now which is where it all began the rate of spread as declined. What does that mean for the rest of us . In some ways it could be an example. China took extremely aggressive measures. Obviously they were not able to completely wall off the outbreak from spreading to other countries, but be clear, the reason were seeing numbers allegedly drop right now in china is because of the interventions that they took. So, again, there may be some lesson in that for the rest of the world. In the meantime, more than 2,000 people right here in new york are selfquarantining. Is that going to be the new normal, and for how long . It may be, amy. Ill tell you why. We might be changing phases now from trying to contain or stop or prevent this outbreak from coming here to mitigate or slowing its spread so we talk about things like nondrug interventions, things likescollr gatherings, telework or teleschooling if possible. These measures not only protect the individual but potentially protect the most vulnerable which is the elderly and older population. Dr. Jen, we appreciate it so much. And you can send in your questions for dr. Jen on twitter and instagram all morning with the askgma. She will answer some of them live in our next half hour. George. Looking forward to having you back. We turn to the race for the white house, twoman race on the democratic side after Elizabeth Warren dropped out in the wake of her shutout super tuesday. Both joe biden and Bernie Sanders hoping to get her endorsement. Mary bruce is in washington with the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, george. Well, senator Elizabeth Warren billed herself as a progressive candidate with a plan for everything but now that shes dropped out of this race, the big question this morning, whats her plan for what comes next . This morning, Elizabeth Warrens endorsement is up for grabs. Well, lets take a deep breath and spend a little time on that. We dont have to decide that this minute. Reporter overnight Bernie Sanders courted warrens supporters. Tonight we invite senator warrens supporters into our campaign. Reporter progressives are hoping shell back Bernie Sanders. He needs a boost after joe bidens super tuesday surge, but warren is making it clear its not that simple. I was told at the beginning of this whole undertaking that there are two lanes, a progressive lane that Bernie Sanders is the incumbent for and a moderate lane that joe biden is the incumbent for and theres no room for anyone else in this. I thought that wasnt right, but evidently i was wrong. Reporter sanders and biden have both spoken with warren. In a tweet biden calling her one of the fiercest of fighters for middle class families, adding, we needed her voice in this race. Not lost on warren or her supporters, this is now a twoman race. Warren now reflecting on all those pinky promises she made to little girls across the country. Im running for president because thats what girls do. All those little girls who are going to have to wait four reporter now warren was played in isn and veen a a trap question for every woman who must decide whether to address sexism and risk being labeled a whiner or simply deny it altogether. Cecilia. She said she has a lot more to say on that one. Mary, thank you. We turn to a blistering new criticism of attorney general william barr and his handling of the Mueller Report. A federal judge calling his public statement, quote, misleading and distorted. Our chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas has more on this. Demanding to see the censured portions basically saying barr cannot be trusted. Reporter good morning. Thats right. Judge Reggie Walton who was appointed by president george w. Bush issued those scathing comments as he oversees a lawsuit asking for the full release of the Mueller Report. He challenges barrs very integrity and questions whether, quote, barr made a calculated attempt to influence Public Discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump. Walton goes on to say that he has, quote, grave concerns about barrs actions and that the attorney general barrs lack of candor specifically calls into question attorney general barrs credibility. Barr has flatly denied claims he was misleading about the Mueller Report when he says he quickly and largely released. Sources close to barr telling me this morning the judge is wrong on his facts and his comments on his intentions are inappropriate. Amy . All right, pierre. Thanks for the latest. We turn to those missing idaho sib listeni siblin siblings. The mother set to face a judge today as the fbi puts out a new call for help focusing on a trip the family took to yellowstone last september. Diane macedo has the story. Reporter this morning, the fbi is asking for the publics help after releasing new photos of lori vallows missing children, 7yearold j. J. And 17yearold tylee. They say this september 8th trip to Yellowstone National park is the last time tylee was seen. Now the bureau is asking for any other photos from the park that day that might show lori, her brother alex, the kids or their car. Vallow seen here arriving at the airport in idaho on thursday was just extradited from hawaii to face charges for felony child desertion and misdemeanors like contempt of court. Let the record reflect that miss daybell is now in the courtroom. Reporter on wednesday the 46yearold appeared in a hawaii court, invoking her fifth amendment right, standing silent with arms folded.
