Do you remember the 100 . This guy can talk. I didnt know who he s om jack a sunday sitdown with life lived later in the show. Lets begin with the travel advisory in effect for three states that make up 10 of the countrys population. The advisory came hours after President Trump suggested a possible quarantine of those states. Nbcs kathy park is live outside javits center, which is undergoing a massive transformation. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Here in new york state, the death toll is just alarming. More than 700. Infections are supposed to peak between 14 and 21 days. Because of the ongoing crisis, to say theyre taking serious action like transforming this Massive Convention center behind me as a hospital, which opens up tomorrow. This morning a cdc travel advisory for residents in new york, new jersey and connecticut now in effect. Asking them to refrain from nonessential travel for 14 days. Well do a quarantine. Reporter President Trump initially raised the idea of an enforceable krz quarantine but backing down saying a quarantine will not be necessary. The initial proposal drew criticism and confusion. This is would be a declaration of war on states. Words matter and when you lack clarity, that can create confusion and confusion can lead to panic. Reporter meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. A Naval Hospital ship is on its what i to new york, the epicenter, where cases have gone beyond 50,000. Late saturday New York Knicks announced its team owner, james dolan, tested positive for covid19. All across the country, states are bracing for the worse, building popup hospitals.

And back here in the state, some breaking news overnight in maryland. 66 residents at a nursing home in carol county tested positive for covid19. 11 are now hospitalized. Willie . So much concern about Nursing Homes as kcross the country. Why did President Trump first float the idea of quarantine for the hard hit states of new jersey, new york and connecticut, later he called unnecessary as you heard criticism from the governors of those states. Reporter the president s quarantine idea formed and fell apart in just about eight hours. President trump suggested the measure after a asked him a question on a different topic. He said he had spoken to Governor Desantis of florida, and florida has been concerned about travelers from the new York New Jersey area bringing the illness south. Governor is he san dishas been criticized for not closing public beaches earlier. While the federal government through the cdc does have powers to quarantine in an emergency, the president and his advisers did not answer my questions about what legal basis the president would use for what he called an enforceable quarantine. The uproar was swift and loud. Governors from those three states talked about the potential chaos and impact. A twoweek travel advisory was issued instead. Connecticuts governor summed it up this way, saying the white house was thinking out loud. Kelly odonnell at the white house, thank you as always. Lets bring in nbc news contributor dr. Vin gupta, an intensive care doctor working right now with coronavirus patients and a Global Health policy expert who sounded the alarm in 2018 that a pandemic was coming to the United States. Dr. Gupta, thank you very much for being with us this morning. We appreciate your time during a very busy time for you. Lets start with at the end of this week, a long, difficult week for the country of where we are in terms of numbers, in terms of the trajectory of all this, in terms of whether or not social distancing is, in fact, having an impact in the positive. Where do you see where we are right now . Thanks, willie. Giving us such an important platform. Every expert in this field, whether from harvard, two days ago university of washington, university for health metrics, major universities have published forecasts saying this is going to get a lot worse. Cases are going to climb, icu needs will get more urgent. We havent seen the worst of it. Its getting worse, not better. Cases are continuing to climb, as youre noting. Were not even remotely close to being out of the woods yet. And what im seeing is seattle is a state that has incredible Hospital Leaders and a governor thats been on the forefront of a response, but we have no idea of social distancing is having the affect we hope it has. One, because its been implemented with such diversity across the country. I think were making i think were making progress qualitatively in places like washington, from what i understand from colleagues in other states as well, but who knows because we dont have good testing. Testing is still lagging. I think weve oversold where testing it at the moment. Its not where people think it is. Theres still significant challenges. You were on the front lines treating coronavirus patients, some are gravely ill, as you pointed out to us. Whats the need to your hospital and hospitals across the country for the personal protective equipment so doctors like yourself dont get sick and theyre taken off the field . I want to give credit to my hospital and the hospitals across seattle working with colleagues across washington state. We are protected. We are which is to say we are protected at the moment. Forecasting out, what are the needs going to be locally . Were going to lead a lot more which is why the defense protection act and implementing it is key. The forecast model suggests we need more, not less. Right now were okay. Where im concerned is my colleagues in new york city and wearing garbage bags instead of gown, not having not n95s when they need it. This is a different story depending on what location were talking about. Right now its a patch work approach, different zip codes across the United States have different needs. We need more ppe. Its completely inacceptable that doctors and nurses dont have the materials they need. We know we dont have the materials we need come april when these cases spike. Thank you for your insights and thank you for what youre doing as youre in your scrubs and go in and work with coronavirus patients. Were so thankful for you and all Health Care Professionals. Thank you. Chuck todd is political contributor and moderator of meet the press. Lets take a look back at the president s handling of this. Just yesterday we can focus on that where he came in front of the cameras for a quarantine for states that make up about 10 of the United States population, sent people scrambling around here in the new york area, where its been so hard hit, and then walked it back later. Its a pattern. We heard the defense production act, maybe he would use it, maybe he wouldnt, this drug is agood but the fda hasnt approved it. Hes been in fights with governors this week. What does he get after it when he goes after Governor Whitmer of michigan or governor inslee of washington, two states hit so hard. Kelly odonnell said she quoted an official saying, thinking out loud. I thought, if that doesnt sum up all President Trump through the last 3 1 2 years, when confusion has been created by him in some governmental way, its usually because, what . Hes been musing or thinking out loud. This is where theres been the biggest disconnect how most governors in america have handled this, the jo friday approach, just the facts, sir, just the facts, maam, type of approach where the president continues to personalize the response, continues to personalize any ask or criticism. I mean, it was oddly reval a. Tory that the president allows personal political views and personal sleights on how he deals with certainly governors. Its blunt honesty there but its also a way to create more problems in this response. Thinking out loud has heavy implications in a moment like this. Chuck, thank you very much. A little tease of what youll hear on meet the press w good morning. We are seeing once again some showers. We got the rain yesterday. Its about 51 degrees right now in san francisco, so the temperatures remain in the 50s. Today we will be seeing a slight warmup in the 60s. A live look at satellite radar. You can see the rain, plenty of instability off the coast. That will continue to sweep on through today as far as our temperatures go. Warming up just a little bit into the 60s. 62 in san jose. Straight ahead, the return of popular demand of the highs and lows of the week with the country already in awe of our doctors, a pair of them give us another reason to cheer for the heroes in scrubs. You might say and a state trooper who helped his doctor improvise after her dance competition was postponed by the coronavirus. And later, in a week of jawdropping unemployment claims and businesses struggling to survive, what will the American Economy look like on the other side of this crisis. Were wondering whats going to happen with our beaches, our lifeguards, our employees, where these people are going to go. Its all coming up on sunday today. As we head to break, our photo of the week. Through the safety of the glass at Morristown Medical Center in new jersey, a man holds up a sign for the staff that reads, thank you all in emergency for saving my wifes life. I love you all. A nurse at the triage station heard the mans knock, saw teers streaming down his face and asked if she could take that photo. She posted it to instagram with a caption that reads in part, this is why we do it. Times are tough but we make a difference. Yes, you do. And we are all so grateful.

Im happy to say Morgan Radford joins me from home for the highs and lows of the week. Morgan, we couldnt go another week without seeing you. How are you doing . How are you, willie . Im sitting here, im ready for the highs and the lows. Oh, youve got the mug. Lets do it just like normal but this week were going all highs to shine a light on the good things across the country and around the world. Our first high goes to the First Responders answering the calls in history. If the world could give a collective standing ovation, it would look like this. People on the streets and porches and balconies while confined to their homes, saluting the brave doctors and nurses suiting up and risking their own help to work long shifts while caring for patients in the battle against the coronavirus, and often doing so without enough protection for themselves. If that wasnt enough, some doctors are working to lift our spirits, too. One surgeon at the mayo clinic in rochester, minnesota, became an internet star this week while showing his talent outside the operating room. Imagine all the people sharing all the world that is dr. Elvis francois, singing john lennons imagine, his colleague dr. Robinson is on the keys. Im sure hes a good doctor but he might need a record contract as well. Thats incredible. Im telling you, he has a second career in store. Weve been talking about the health of our bodies, but the health of our spirit is so important, too. Those doctors can sing. Apparently they do it all the time but its getting some attention right now when we need it. The next high goes to the spirit and creativity of refuse to leta little social distance ruin their celebrations. Birthday parties have given away to honking cars and front lawn singalongs. Pasadena, california, 15yearold coco johnson returned home from the hospital after her last chemotherapy appointment and got quite a surprise from the neighborhood. Woo woo coco, we love you a heros welcome for coco with friends and neighbors lining the street and hanging out of their cars with signs and decorations to celebrate the last of the teenagers treatments for bone cancer. It was really overwhelming. I was just, like, shocked. I was so surprised. The light at the end of the tunnel will be there soon hopefully. Absolutely, coco. Morgan, i say this is a tradition we continue after were through this coronavirus episode in this country. Parades in the streets all the time. I love it. I love how i love how creative people are getting with showing how they care. Coco, we are with you all the way. Absolutely. Our next high goes to all you parents out there suddenly transformed into teachers, coaches and, in some cases, dance instructors. When one little girl in nebraska had her dance competition canceled, her father, a state trooper, stepped in to make sure the show went on. I need a hero im holding out for a hero through the end of the night hes got to be strong hes got to be fresh from the fight lieutenant tyler kreike dancing with 8yearold mila. Her instructor told her to teach parents the performance for practice. She taught it to dad and i would say Mission Accomplished here, morgan. Yes. Im ready for that parents patrol dance troup to hit the road. I need to get one of those capes. Our final high a reminder were all in the same position as you are, passing the time.

Top Health Officials are warning the country about a coming spike in cases. There is now sobering evidence that the fight to contain coronavirus is far from over.

You are not going alone. Anna, no. I have my powers to protect you, you dont. Excuse me i climbed the mountain and i did it all without my powers, so im coming that is kristen bell as the voice of ana in frozen 2 which earlier this year became the highest grossing animated movie of all time, doing nearly 1. 5 billion of business at the Box Office Disney won the hearts all over again when last week it posted frozen 2 to its streaming Service Three months ahead of schedule, to help families weather these long days at home. For their part, kristen and her husband, dax shepard, donated 150,000 to the organization no kid hungry, which is helping children now out of school to get their meals. Bell and shepard also donated the additional 7. 96 their young daughters found in their piggy bank kristen and i got together last fall for a fun sunday sitdown around the release of frozen 2. Do you know how many times im here on earth . One time i get one trip and i would like it to be as lively and as happy as possible. I would say youre succeeding at that, at least from the outside it seems you are. I dont think i have a bad score. Kristen bell undeniably is making the most of her trip. The most recent stop on the ride was a return visit to the animated world of frozen. And you are im ana. How are you feeling going into this next chapter of the story . I actually dont feel any pressure because im just a Firm Believer that if you bake a cake on monday and you use the same ingredients on tuesday, chances are its going to taste great. The original frozen cake was baked in 2013 and quickly became a global phenomenon, making more than 1 billion at the box office i wont let anything happen to her. Bell plays ana, a princess who is not traditionally princessy. Really . I wanted to play a princess that didnt have good posture i wanted to play one that talked too fast and too much and her mouth came online before her brain caught up. So, like, when i asked if i could infuse that into the character, they were immediately like, yes, what else do you have that would be great. Then i remember the line where we found her was when hans falls onto ana in the boat this is awkward youre not awkward im not awkward. Youre gorgeous. Wait, what it was an improv i said in the room and theyre like, thats her. Thats exactly who she is. Bell found her own voice growing up in suburban detroit her mother was a nurse, her father, a news director. In hindsight, she may have been destined for voiceover work. I talked to myself a lot. Made audio recordings, had conversations. Sounds like you channeled all of that into the right place by finding actor, finding theater. The theater loves weirdos thats the feeling ive been waiting for. After high school, she moved to new york city where she attended nyu three years and a few credits shy of graduating, she landed a role on broadway in a production of the adventures of tom sawyer. My parents werent thrilled they werent . Im like, listen, im not training to be a doctor. I dont have to have a license to do this i actually have a job. Im going to leave school. And they were like, just maybe you should and they gave me supported me and thats why im here. After some grief but then they ultimately supported me and thats why im here. After moving to los angeles, bell earned the lead role in the tv series that put her on the map, playing an antiestablishment student moonlighting as a private investigator in Veronica Mars. I think i fell into Veronica Mars and realized that i could tell a sassy joke when i didnt i had no idea that i could. The original series ran for three seasons and maintains a cult following to this day got it. This year, bell wrapped production of the nbc hit the good place, a bittersweet moment for her and the cast. Holy mother forking shirt balls its got to be a crazy thing to walk away from something thats at the top of its game. That just doesnt happen in tv. Its hard for all of us because were really close and ted dansons one of my best friends. It was so fun to come to work with him every day and ill forever miss it. Bells breakout film role came in 2008s forgetting sarah marshall. The producer of that movie introduced bell at a dinner party to fellow actor named dax shepard. Do you remember initial impressions . 100 . You do . Uhhuh. Im like, this guy can talk then i didnt know who he was. I thought, maybe hes one of the guys from jackass or something . In 2009, the pair filmed the romantic comedy when in rome and engaged soon after they postponed their wedding until 2013 when the Supreme Court ruled samesex marriage legal in the state of california so, you as any classic romantic would, you proposed to him on twitter . I did. And you went down to the courthouse for 140 bucks or Something Like that . Hell, yeah, and thats including the set list he played on the way to the courthouse including the itunes bill. Bell and shepard have opened nearly every detail of their marriage to the public, but theyve been vigilant about protecting the privacy of their daughters, 7yearold lincoln and 5yearold delta we didnt want people to think that this idea of, like, relationships goals was easy, so we started talking about mistakes weve made and problems weve had and when we go to therapy and how often we fight, which is a lot then we just started feeling better about ourselves. The last few years, youve been open about anxiety and depression and things you struggle with that so many people in this world suffer with i think they think theres some shame in it or everybody thinks theres some shame in it but if they see kristen bell who projects, even sitting right here, shes happy, smart bubbles, glitter no, its not always that way i am someone who takes a medication for her anxiety and depression i am someone who has to check myself and sometimes if im feeling really low, make a checklist of good and bad things in my life to see if its my mental state or if, like, we really have a problem. Me talking about that actually came from i hate to give him credit for everything. Its so annoying that hes so right about everything it really is. You admitted that on camera. I know. Hes like, why dont you talk about your anxiety and depression i had never thought about that before i immediately felt incredibly irresponsible. Last fall, bell received a star on the hollywood walk of fame even in that big moment, she could not contain her irreverence. Could not contain her irreverence. This star will really only know its true value when someone is mugged in that very spot and clutch their clutch and the assailant says, let it go and the victim looks up and says, thats not her song, [ bleep ]. Bell tries to convince her kids mom is cool. Two thing i love to say, all your teeth are going to fall out. Thats terrifying. Isnt that a funny thing to say . It is. I say, youre so cool, you dont get it. Youre having a problem understanding how cool i am. They dont get it. They dont think im cool at all. My experience when you have to argue that youre cool, youre probably losing the argument. You know what i mean . Touche, touche. How great is she . Frozen 2 is available now on disney plus. Kristen and dax always available doing good work on social media. Our thanks again to the tavern on the green in new york for hosting that conversation.
