I think you raised such a that focussed more on his good point, it is deeper than handling of the coronavirus. Just what any one organization President Trump saying he is the is doing, but that idea that sole power saying when and how right now were all in this States Reopen even as governors together make plans of their own. Were all in this collective boat, and Everybody Needs to be doing their part when somebody is the president of the United States, youre home. Youve got two little girls, i the authority is total know, at home. Thats the way its got to be. The governors know that. Yeah.

Reporter the white house i found that writing theres briefing where President Trump a great quote, which is insecurity is loud, confidence was combative and at times angry. I didnt ask, because i dont have to. Who told you the president is quiet. Has the total authority . I thought as i psyched my way to enough. Confidence in this time, because i really didnt know how to act reporter the president or react playing a white house produced campaignstyle video in an effort to defend his handling of it was all so new and unknown the crisis and scary. Everything we did was right. I found that writing was a great reporter President Trump highlighting his january ban o one case in the whole united way for me to communicate. States, one case it was quiet and more graceful than trying to be on social im supposed to shutdown the governor media. Then i tried to find routine the biggest the biggest with my kids, go on a bike ride, take a car ride, break out the economy in the history of the world, shut it down we have one case reporter and sparring with reporters who challenged the chalk and do hopscotch, board federal response beyond that january ban. Games, do seeding things in what did your administration little cups and make signs and do in february with the time your travel ban bought you a lot. Be inventive, and then school what . Started.

Anthony fauci argued more lives could have been saved here it was like every church and state, it was the messiest plate if the government acted sooner. I held in my life,retaker.

Go away and work with other kids but they have their children in reporter on monday the their classroom . How does this work president calling him to the i didnt think i needed to podium where he clarified his appreciate teachers any more than i did comments about pushback within the administration.

Times square has been quiet since then its not happiness is a war you fight now governors from multiple states are banning together to every day. Decide how best to gradually the victory is if you accomplished any of those wins, that is a win. Reopen the economy here. It is a very disciplined thing the death toll has now topped its about reaction. 10,000 in new york state, but its about the energy you put icu admissions and intubations out there. Its about the way you treat are way down, clearest signs yet the curve is flattening. People with dignity and take a the worst can be over and it Quick Exchange as a moment to connect.

Savannah gabe, thank you so much and again Governor Andrew Cuomo will join us live in a moment. But as officials grapple with how and when to restart the economy, what could it look all strength like we aint stoppin believe me good morning to you. Go straight till the morning look like we its good to see you good morning, good to see you as well. Wont wait were taking everything we wanted you said on a sunday show we can do it this weekend that you look at all strength, no sweat this kind of on an 18month time line you think the Economic Strategy breathe freely fast, with vicks sinex. Should really be over 18 months my congestions gone. Because thats the outside estimate of when we could get a i can breathe again ahhhh vaccine. What does that mean . Im sure a lot of people are i can breathe again ughh thinking, 18 months, i cant sustain this for 18 months vicks sinex. Breathe on. I understand. But when we look around the esse with economic controls tres a tendency for the flareups to happen again because so many people have the disease but theyre not showing symptoms until you extinguish it with a treatment or a vaccine theres the risk of flare up, we have to be careful and think about the long term. Its not the next couple weeks or months to me, its how do we get to the destination of a vaccine or therapy youre not suggesting that everybody stay at home and businesses stay essentially as they are for the next 18 months, or are you not as they are but i think we need to be very smart about this ill give you an example, some businesses are more important than others. Think about optometrists are we are back with today largely closed food this morning. I could see them opening so you help if your kitchen is running low on some of those every day can get your eyes checked. Ingredients. Theres not a lot of people were talking milk and butter and garlic crowded into an eye store at a given time today elizabeth will share some substitutes. Hey, are you in your house in contrast that with a movie theatre. Mississippi . Does it make sense to have 100 honey, i am i miss yall so much. People crowded into a theatre until we have a vaccine . We miss you, too. I think not. Mississippi looks good. I dont think well go back to so good to see you. What life was like in january or how are yall doing . February for the next year or 18 months were good. Were missing you. We cant wait until you come back to our kitchen at 30 rock i think we have to be more we hope that happens soon. Lets talk about it. Targeted as we try to open the economy. From your analysis, what do a lot of people are ordering you think needs to happen before kind of limited supplies and theyre ready to make something. You can Start Talking about so lets start off with you have a recipe and it calls for milk you open the fridge and there letting people go back to society . Aint no milk. What do you do even if it is in a piecemeal the great news is you can fashion, for example do we have take half and half, heavy cream, all you have to do is add water. To have widespread antibody if youve got half and half, you test, a test that would tell you double the amount the recipe is if you have had the virus and calling for with water you are presumptively immune. This is heavy cream. That would be great so we want to triple the amount of water with that now were back to milk this is going to work we should pursue widespread beautifully. Testing as well as ravaccines ad now, if you have milk but need therapies. Heavy cream, you can add a little bit of melted butter. But i spoke to officials who melted butter. Said were months if not years its fabulous away from testing millions of people because now we have that fat i think we have to slowly reopen added into the milk and it will work great for any sort of baking recipe. Things and very carefully see if what about eggs if you dont have eggs, youre in trouble were getting flare ups, were in a case of relaxing things, it if you want scrambled eggs, yes, youre in a heap of flares up, we have to lock down trouble. Again and do that for the if youre using this to bake, foreseeable future until we get just a fourth a cup of plain an effective treatment or vaccine. Yogurt, you can add that in, the Federal Reserve chairman exact substitute there is that not brilliant . This is the thing. Was on the show and he said the right now people are being so economy was on a good position, creative i am inspired beyond i cannot the long expansion after the even get over it so, you know, if you dont have great recession, uninterrupted job growth garlic, thats fine. Use an onion, or maybe youve got a shallot. The notion was once this crisis youve got a shallot, thats passes we should be able to return to a strong economy. Going to work. Is it going to be an exact i think thats true. Substitute no again, if this reopening i it may be better just play around with this wish it were a light switch. Dont be afraid to try something if there was a therapy that emerged a month from now, we had new . F youre confidence we could go back to work, not take risks we could turn things around quickly. I think the more the health what about like vegetable experts are learning and learning from whats happening oil, a basic staple . Aro
