A matter of hours. Disneyland announcing it will shut down moments after the ncaa cancelled the biggest sporting event of the year march madness. And the enacts in free fall down more than 2300 points today, nearly 10 in one single day. One market watcher says were already in a recession. Another longtime market analyst calls the damage deep and profound. Americans want answers now more than ever. Which makes the white houses decision not to hold what has been a Daily Briefing with the nations top health experts, that much more disappointing and confounding. Nick watt is outfront. And nick in the span of 24 hours life as americans have known it has completely changed because of coronavirus. Absolutely, erin, changing by the hour. Let me give you a few of the latest updates weve got in ohio no more gatherings of 100 people or more. Same in utah, ohio also, every Single School closed for three weeks. The same happened in San Francisco. Maryland all the schools closed for a couple of weeks. We should expect many many, many more closing. All of the measures are designed to keep all of us as far away from each other as possible. Disneyland in california now closing saturday morning through the end of the month. And expect more announcements like this shortly, says the states governor. Also there will be no march madness this year. The nan, the nhl, Major League Soccer as well as the global atp tennis tournament all suspending their seasons. Nascar and pga tour golf go on, but no fans in the stands. A second utah jazz player has now tested positive. The majority of the nba has come into contact with someone who has had direct contact with those jazz players. Status, no barrier to infection. Tom hanks and his wife rita wilson just caught coronavirus while he was filming in australia. Social distancing, now key, cleaning crews in action at palm Beach Airport after a passenger landed from new york, then told officials their test just came back positive. In new rochelle, new york, a kaantament zone and uniforms on the streets. I was shocked with the National Guard but the containment area im okay with. Broadway shows closing so will the met opera and museums of art, no more gatherings of more than 500 people across the state. The governor calls the Financial Impact incalculable. This state is not going to be able to compensate businesses for lost revenue. It would bankrupt the state. States, cities, corporations increasingly taking the situation into their own hands. We do have in this executive or the ability to commander existing private sector assets including hotels and motels. The postpones of of events across 250 people or more. For the elderly or infirm dont attend a dwagtering of more than 10. And prepare for starbucks to go as they did only. As in china they might limit instory seating. Remember the grand princess cruise shep kept off the coast after 21 passengers tested positive. All passengers and crew will be tested for the coronavirus. But today we hear. All of these individuals will be tested but not all of them have been tested. And three days after she docked in oakland, some passengers are still stock onboard, meanwhile the princess cruise line has halted global operations, all 18 ships for the next two months. Now, some of the passengers coming off that grand princess cruise ship have been tested. We are told some of them tested positive for the coronavirus. But they wont tell us how many. A state official tells me that neal have some more information on that within a few days. Erin. Pretty amazing, wont even give the numbers. Thank you very much, nick. Now outfront today dr. Ivan walks. Dr. Seema yasmin. And former u. S. Center for Disease Control detective. And a senior color scholar at the Johns Hopkins university center. Dr. You were on the advice Advisory Panel for the ncaa suggesting march madness not be cancelled what changed. We have seen the evolving epidemic turned to pandemic. More events cancelled. And a real consensus among Public Health experts and infectionous disease experts that Mass Gatherings could contribute to the spread of this virus. We didnt want the Mass Gatherings making things worse by the ncaa burdening Health Departments and hospitals. That decision made on that and it was unanimous. So unanimous, dr. Yasmin, i guess the question people have and part of whats creating fear and certainly on the economic side we see panic is an uncertainty of how bad this is and how long these measures will last. How long do you think this will last . 24 hours ago, 48 hours ago nobody imagined this. Now all these things changed. How long . Erin, epidemics are very dynamic situations. Things change from week to week and day to day. Its really hard to predict how long this lasts and how long it will be until we return to normality. But that emphasizes the need for daily news conferences. We saw this done well during the ebola crisis of 2014 to 2016. Cdc foeshlgss addressed the public every day and addressed mistakes of the previous day and own up and say what they learned. Im looking at better responses in other countries. And south korea has the great idea of there is uncertainty and lets communicate clearly with the public. That way even if we cant project out two weeks or a month from now, at least people hear daily from officials about where things might be headed mdr. Walks what do you plak f this. Vice president said we would hear from every day and President Trump gave the talk today after the market plunged and today more cancellations and economic crisis. And no briefing. At best that seemed confounding. Its a continueual eroding of our Public Health asset, credibility. And folks need to be able to believe us when we tell them something. More importantly, when we actually know what it is that we need folks to do, if they dont trust us and dont believe that we care about them, they are not going to do what we ask. And that can makes things worse. There is such a challenge right now with not only getting no information but with getting bad information. Its really a problem im at a loss to understand how it continuing to come out of the leadership. And there seems to be a bit of uncertainty everywhere because states and cities do Different Things different ways. But it can create confusion and lack of confidence perhaps. Now we are seeing large gatherings some places 250, some places 500 people. How do you know the right number . You dont know the right number. This is kind of something that there is no playbook for. We are in a pandemic and we know Mass Gatherings will spread the disease. We want to practice social distancing as best we can. There is some variation how each state determines the risk. We know interaction between people can spread the virus. And there is no ryan to draw. Its not marred and fast. Its going to be difficult, different and disruptive to peoples lives but we have to do things differently if we bend the epidemic curve. Speaking about the curve itself, dr. Yasmin, tonight italy recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases there. 15113 people they report infected today. More than 2,600 more than the day before, right . You see big jumps. Italy had the same number of cases the United States has today on sunday. Okay they are now at 15,000. Were at 1,000. Thats a few days. Our population is obviously five times greater than theirs if you use that math on the spreads that means you are looking at 75,000 cases in the United States in a few days. And see on the table . Potentially it is. And thats why during a Global Health crisis like this, erin you rook to other countries to see what they are doing right and wrng. And exactly where we might be headed. And were hearing frankly Horror Stories from medical medical ho medical colleagues in italy doing what we call battlefield triage and medicine where you put your hands up saying look not enough beds or respiratesers for everyone. Lets focused on the young and likely to recover and saying we are not paying attention to whats happening there in terms of how quickly medical services and Health Care Workers become overwhelmed. Event though we dont know where the numbers are going we need to look at how potentially bad it could be. And that speaks to preparedis np because we are not having the Clear Communication were guessing as to how prepared we are and how prepared Health Care Workers should expect to feel in the coming weeks. All of you please stay with me. Next, you cant get a coronavirus test if you want one despite what trump says. How do we know . We asked. I did not sit one of the two cdc guidelines. Plus breaking news sources say trump is privately worried about coronavirus exposure. Could the man in this picture, the one wearing the hat have something to do with it. And the fed steps into to calm the financial markets. And stocks still collapse. There is no other word for it tonight. What comes next . Is mealtime a struggle . Introducing oreida potato pay.

We learned today that the manna you see in this picture with the president days ago at maralago tested positive for coronavirus. He is the press secretary for brazils president. As far as we know trump has not taken a coronavirus test. But at least he can get one when he decides he wants one. Unlike most americans, because the fact is despite what trump said again today, what he said was he has done a great job on testing for americans. The truth is that testing for coronavirus in america has been a failure. Thats the word use the by one of the people leading the Administration Response to the virus, dr. Anthony fauci. It is a failing. Lets admit it. The idea of anybody getting it, easily, the way people in other countries are doing it, were not set up for that do i think we should be . Yes but were not. A blunt assessment. One of the countries get going right is south korea. In south korea more than 230,000 people have been tested. You literally can roll down the car window and get a test done at one of many drive throughs. That means more people know when they are sick and can selfquarantine and not infect others. The number of new daily infections in south korea started to get smaller. Its declining. And people who arent sick they can keep Economic Activity going. That knowledge breeds confidence. Why the United States cant do what south korea has done is incomprehensible. And its going to be a blow to the whole world. With stocks plunging and the economy in free fall as one formerly vice kmarm of the Federal Reserve saps, the best imperfect remedy is expansion of test processing if moet americans could get at test and people tested positive stayed home and sought medical attention fear of going out wouldnt disappear but dissipate. Test kits are cheap compared with the gdp and job losses they may forestall. And even if President Trump doesnt understand that testing could slow the spread of disease and save the economy, he should set an example that taking a test is a good and responsible and smart thing to do. But when asked about whether he has been tested after dining with in man, taking that picture, right next to him, and standing feet away from him at another party, here is what he said. We had dinner together in florida. And at maralago. With the entire delegation. And well find out what happens. I guess theyre being tested right now, right . Whatever update you can provide. Im not concerned. In addition to trumps personal testing failure, there is a much larger testing failure here as well. And drew griffin is outfront. Reporter from every part of the country cnn is being told that despite whats coming out of the house and out of the Vice President s mouth this morning on cnn, what youre about to hear is just not true. There was some concern that the guidance that dr. S had had at the time was if you were only mildly symptom attic it did not indicate a test was appropriate. We changed that. Thats when the president said that anyone who wanted a test could have one on a doctors orders. There is no barrier to that now. Not everyone who wants and even needs a covid19 test is getting one even with a dr. s others. In katie, texas, this stool team teach he shall happen home with flulike symptoms. Scherr doctor doesnt know what she has did you but she cant get a coronavirus test. Sthepd he didnt fit the cdc guidelines which is one i traveled somewhere where there is infection. Internationally is what they asked me. And two i hadnt come in contact with someone positive for coronavirus. But thats only as far as you know, right . Exactly. While test something increasing in some areas Health Care Workers tell cnn they are furious they are not able to test patients for coronavirus because of a lack of tests and the restrictive cdc guidelines. Thats led to rationing which infectionous disease experts say only hurt our ability to fight this disease because without tests we have no idea where its spreading. We must start now testing people who are not just severe and hospitalized but also have more mild symptoms. So that we know the scale of the problem. Unless we know the scale of the problem we cant prepare or mitigate the outbreak. In massachusetts, one doctor told cnn we are crippled by the Public Health department and the cdc on the ability to combat in pandemic, adding its going to cost americans. And er nurse from california says we should be swabbing everyone who walks in the door who has flulike symptoms. This is absurd. The lack of testing is so bad some firefighters in suburban seattle fear theyve been exposed yet cant be tested unless showing symptoms. I have a number of friends that have told me theyve been in quarantine and have not been able to be tested. Health departments say they are following cdc guidelines calling for testing if someone with symptoms has been to a foreign country affected by covid19 or has had close contact with someone diagnosed with the coronavirus. Dawn clem mts in largo florida has been sick since friday. Her daughter went through it two weeks ago. All the symptoms, no flu and cant get tested. I didnt meet criteria because i did not travel out of the United States to one of the countries. In the meantime, im immunosuppressed with health conditions. And i live at an alf. And i dont know what virus i have. Im running a fever and i have chest congestion and nobody can test us here. Florida Health Department official confirms tests are being prioritized, wouldnt say if thats because of a shortage, only that florida is trying to focused on those most likely to be covid19. And erin as you pointed out other countries doing a better testing job than we are in the u. S. As you said south korea already tested more than 230,000 people, in the uk 26,000 people. As of yesterday only 11,000 people in the United States have been tested. The unanswered question is why, erin . There does seem to be no answer to that that makes expense. Drowning very much, drew. Everyone is back withpeople. Dr. Walks, what is the why . Dr. Fauci is direct. This is a failure and a big failure. Why did this happen . I think that that question has to go to the people in charge. Dr. Fauci doesnt know. I dont know. I think its important for us to understand the consequences though. When we say to people, well, if youre young and healthy you may have little or no symptoms, but you can transmit the virus if you are sick with the virus to someone who is in najts highrisk group but then we wont test the Young Healthy folks because they are not sick enough it makes no sense. You dont need to be a medical professi
