Public. The American People should know the risk for the average american remains low. Announcer this is new day weekend with victor black well and christi paul. Good morning. Its good to have you with us here from the u. S. And around the world. We begin this hour with new concerns regarding the coronavirus here in the u. S. Health officials in the state of washington investigating now a possible outbreak at a longterm nursing facility. Two people have tested positive there. More than 50 residents and staff have symptoms and will be tested. The state of washington also confirmed the first patient to die after being infected with the virus in the u. S. In this country, there are now at least 71 confirmed or presumptive cases of coronavirus, including a third case in illinois. In total, the cdc says 24 coronavirus cases originated here in the u. S. Cnns omar jimenez is in washington. Lets start with the first known patient to die of coronavirus in the u. S. What do you know . Reporter yeah. Victor, the man known to die ear here in the United States was a man in his 50s and did have Underlying Health conditions according to Health Officials here. One of the reasons or one of the Major Concerns i should say aside from the death itself is that this person showed no relevant travel history that would have potentially exposed him to the coronavirus. Indicating that this likely came through community spread. Now, while his was the only deadly announcement that was put forward over the course of saturday, it was one of three in total new coronavirus case that is were announced here for washington state. Two of them stemming from the life care nursing facility right behind me at this moment. One of them a Health Care Worker in her 40s who worked at this facility and another resident in her 70s. Both of them being treated at this moment. Its part of why governor jay insly declared a state of emergency. You look at this site in particular, state officials are treating [ inaudible ] expect state health and cdc officials to be here over the course of today trying to get to the bottom of where this came from and also testing around 50 people or so associated with this. Its why the center here has put out a note telling families and people who would be otherwise visiting to not come here because they wont be be allowed in as they try to get to the bottom of this. Country wide, of course, weve heard from the cdc director over the course of yesterday saying this is likely not the end of the cases. We will see more as they pop up across the country and a third one in illinois. Victor, christi. Omar gjimenez. A man who lives with coronavirus. He was quarantined for 14 days on the cruise ship before being among the hundreds of americans evacuated. Karl goodman is with us from the university of nebraska hospital. Hes in isolation there. Carl, i understand you just got tested positive again yesterday. How do you feel . I feel fine, christi. Im healthy. No fever for now. About eight days. All i have is a dry cough that still lingers. Youre saying you feel fine now. Youve got this cough. What was the worst of it . How were you feeling at its worst . During the worst, one to ten scale of being ill with ten being the worst, i was about a two. My only really bad day was when i was on the plane back from the diamond princess to california and my fever i woke up after a twohour nap and spiked up to a fever over 103. That stayed with me for probably six, seven, eight hours, the remaining flight back to california. So carl, i understand the cruise started january 17th, which means you have been out of work and dealing with this since that time. How is your work handling your absence . Sure. So my wife and i own the local Radio Station in california. We travel weve traveled many times for short trips. But we can work virtually. We scrambled once we knew we were going to be quarantined to change appointments. Im working eight, nine, ten hours a day with my laptop here, internet and phone. And then i get to relax a little bit toward the end of the day. Our staff has really picked up the ball. So has our community. They offered to do just about anything we asked. Carl, we dont often talk about the treatment that people diagnosed with coronavirus receive. Tell us about your treatment daytoday as they try to help you recover. Yeah. Its pretty funny. My biggest treatment is drinking tons of gatorade. Ive been through every rainbow slor. Multiment amounts of time. There is no antibiotic for this. No cure for it. Other than what i had the high fever and they gave me ibupro n ibuprofen, i basically receive no medical ive gotten lots of medical care, but no medication. Waus its messy. You are five, six weeks into this thing according to best i can deduce from the calculations here of how long youve been gone. How long are you mandated to be in isolation, do you know what has to happen to help you would you go to a quarantine level or are you cleared altogether. Thats the up to my body. The good news, my wife who has been quarantined separately in omaha is able to go home monday, tomorrow. Thats wonderful. She never had the virus. Her main every two days, every 48 hours she was tested until i was negative. I tested positive again, unfortunately, yesterday. So monday theyll give me another test. Ill have to go through three tests in a row, 24 hours apart before im declared free of the virus. Those tests, by the way, christi, are swabs up my nose and theyre also theyre swabs of my nose and also my throat. So i made sure i had nine tests. Three of those tests each day. Wow. Carl goodman. I say that you feel fine, that is great to hear. Unfortunately, still testing positive for coronavirus. Carl gold man, thank you so much for being with us. We hope you get better soon. Of course. I cant wait to get home from omaha. I did get my first omaha steak yesterday from omaha steaks. Wonderful. Thats great. Im sure your wife misses you. We hope you get home soon. Take care of yourself. Thank you. Carl gold man there for us. So President Trump and top u. S. Health officials are aiming to reassure americans that the government is handling this outbreak. Theyre urging us not to panic over this virus. Vice president is in charge of this. He tweeted about the situation room yesterday in he with jake tapper, Vice President pence says most people will recover. But theres a risk for people with underlying conditions. There will be more cases. Possibly more deaths . It is possible. I mean, the reality that dr. Fouch and others explained to me a few days ago is that for people that contract the coronavirus, they will recover. They will deal with a respiratory illness. Well get them treatment. For people with other conditions that would militate toward a worse outcome, that we more. We could have more sad news. The American People should know the risk for the average american remains low. Lets go to Sarah Westwood now. Shes at the white house. Sarah, listen, before the president came out this week to talk about coronavirus, he had only been in that Briefing Room once and now a second time in a short period. You phrased it earlier as a bit of course correction. How are they handling it now . Thats right, victor. President trump really demonstrating a shift in tone, a shift in his approach to talking about the coronavirus. Yesterday we saw him reading carefully from a set of prepared note. Thats not something we often see President Trump doo do when he gets in front of a bunch of reporters like that. We saw him feeding groupd to the experts. There are technical questions about the specifics of the virus and the resources that the administration has. Hes walking the sidelines between keeping people calm and setting realistic ex peck takes bs what an outbreak in the u. S. Might look like. He started out yesterday by offering condolences to the family of the american in washington who died becoming the First American to die of the coronavirus. He said were likely to see many more cases in the u. S. Take a listen. Additional cases in the United States are likely. But healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. And we think that will be a statement we can make with great surety now that weve gotten familiar with this problem. This is really a shift from his more dismissive tone during the earlier weeks of this virus when say example it would disappear when the weather got warmer. Hes set to meet with the pharmaceutical companies. But the topic of a a vaccine is likely hell discuss with the pharmaceutical executives on monday. The white house listed travel restrictions for parts of italy and south korea. Expanded restrictions on travel to iran. Sarah westwood, thanks. Be sure to watch the state of the union for more of jake tappers interview with Vice President mike pence. Winner of the South Carolina democratic primary, joe biden on the show. Former Vice President biden as we said binning big in sook. Hes how do they position him heading into super tuesday. All of those of you who have been knocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign. And the u. S. Is expanding travel restrictions to coronavirus hotspots. Well tell you where and what else the government is doing to protect you and your family. The march across the Edmund Pettis bridge was a key moment in the civil rights movement.

Former Vice President joe biden there after what was a blowout victory in South Carolina. He wrapped up the primary with 48 of the vote compared to 19 for senator Bernie Sanders. This victory pushes him now into second place for delegates. Now the race moves on to super tuesday contest. 14 states, america samoa goes to polls. Its whether they can use the momentum to pull out a big win. Were joined from columbia, South Carolina with jeff goe dean. A late night man turned into an Early Morning for you. Whats been the reaction to bidens win . Reporter good morning to both of you. Great to be with you. Joe biden and his campaign, his supporters incredibly excited about his big victory here last night. They had counted a victory. Biden himself had said he would win. But even their biggest dreams, this was a big one for them. He won across a section of demographics here in South Carolina and as you mentioned, it really shifts as delegates raise putting him into second place. It really does show you that one primary night can really shift the dynamics. Bernie sanders also announcing this morning a huge haul when it comes to money. 46. 5 million in the month of february. Thats a very, very big number. While he did not have a victory here last night, theyre looking ahead to super tuesday. This was Bernie Sanders last night. Take a listen. Now, i am very proud that in this campaign so far weve won the popular vote in iowa, we have won the New Hampshire primary, we have won the nevada caucus. But you cannot win them all. A lot of states out there and tonight we did not win in South Carolina. Again, Bernie Sanders flexing his fundraising muscle this morning. 46. 5 million in the month of february. In the meantime, tom steyer, the billionaire businessman who put a lot of money and a lot of time into South Carolina made the announcement last night that he would be dropping out of the race after a disappointing finish here. He has said last night that he really didnt see a path forward. Take a listen to that. But i said if i didnt see a path to winning that id suspend my campaign. And honestly, i cant see a path where i can win the presidency. So am i going to continue to work on every single one of these issues . Yes, of course, i am. Because ive never stopped. Reporter so also a lot of questions this morning about will the field get any narrower by super tuesday or just after that. My colleagues jeff bellamy reporting last night for the bidens campaign, theyre happy to see Amy Klobuchar stay in the campaign in minnesota. Giving Bernie Sanders a run for his money. Happy to see Elizabeth Warren do the same thing in her state. Now we turn to super tuesday with joe biden off a huge win in South Carolina. You can expect a lot of money to be flowing into their campaign as well. There have been questions about things for sure. After the disappointing finishes in iowa and New Hampshire. Hell have money, also momentum. You also see Bernie Sanders with that huge fundraising number. Were setting up a very pivotal super tuesday coming up in a couple of days. Victor and christi. 46. 5 million for the Sanders Campaign in february alone. Jessica dean in columbia, thanks. Lets talk to political reporter for the Hill Julia Manchester and podcast errol louis. Good morning to you both. Good morning. Lets listen to Something Else that the former Vice President said yesterday to the crowd there that caught some peoples ears. Lets listen together. This is the moment to choose the path forward for our party. This is the moment and its arriv arrived. Maybe sooner than anyone guessed it would. But its here. And the decisions democrats make all across america the next few days will determine what this party stands for, what we believe and what well get done. What this party stands for. Errol, it sounds like it might have been a dig to Bernie Sanders and the president challenging voters. You decide who is the face of the Democratic Party. Is it me or sanders . Thats right. Not just in terms of who is the figurehead or the front man, but also what the policies are and what its all about. I mean, he made repeated references in that same speech to not being lured but what he called implied was a false promise of a revolution. Its about affecting peoples lives in the here and now. Its about shoring up the party up and down the ballot. That was another theme of the Biden Victory speech last night, to talk about how all kinds of offices are really in play and are really at stake. That what he wants to do is carry the whole democratic ticket to victory. Thats not something you often hear Bernie Sanders say and frankly, biden is pointing out its not something sanders can credibly claim to do. I want to look at an exit poll that was particularly interesting, julia. They asked will you vote democratic in november regardless of who wins the nomination . 81 said yes. Only 17 said no. Is that reflective of the rest of the country . Polls have shown that electability is key here. If that is true, does bidens win reshape the whole thing if they want to go for electability. I see a number of polls that essentially said the same thing and talked to a number of voters on the ground in virginia and New Hampshire who have said the same thing. They will vote for whoever wins the primary. Youve seen a lot of more establishment candidates like Mike Bloomberg and joe biden essentially touting the assertion that if Bernie Sanders is the nominee, he wont be able to beat donald trump. I would say that poll negates that, its probably good news for someone like Bernie Sanders. Going foort, i think Bernie Sanders needs to continue to tout results like that and polls like that. Saying, look, it doesnt matter even though i might not have this traditional establishment view that othe
