Obviously the flip side is the more you close down businesses, the worse on the economy and on individual incomes. But nearly 10 million northern californians are experiencing just that. Asked to only leave home for necessary activities like buying groceries. The people in San Francisco are definitely permitted to go out, to run, to exercise, to ride bikes. So many of our residents are complying with this order because they understand it impact on Public Health. This is about Public Health. This is not a vacation. But in florida, some beaches are still packed with young people celebrating spring break, ignoring calls to practice social distancing. New cdc data shows adults between the ages of 20 and 54 make up nearly 40 of people needing to be hospitalized because of coronavirus. Officials begging young people to take precautions. There are concerning reports coming out of france and italy about some young people getting seriously ill and very seriously ill in the icus. We cannot have these large gatherings that continue to occur throughout the country for people off work to then be socializing in large groups and spreading the virus. You have the potential then to spread it to someone who does have a condition that none of us knew about and cause them to have a disastrous outcome. President trump disagreeing with his treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin who warned the country could see a 20 Unemployment Rate because of coronavirus if theres no intervention. No, i dont agree.

New data from the cdc shows that its not only elderly getting seriously ill from coronavirus. Of the nearly 2500 first recorded cases in the u. S. , 38 of the hospitalized patients were between the ages of 20 and 54. Joining us now is dr. Celine gounder. Shes an assistant clinical professor of medicine and dr. Rod rry rig owe kan. We have been i think operating under maybe a false sense of security under the belief that this is not really impacting young people. That people in their 20s, people in their 30s and 40s. Now the new data, not only the cdc, but coming out of who has been hospitalized in france and italy, does it show that this is more widespread for young people than we knew . Well, weve already observed this in seattle, which is the area that was hit hardest and first here in the United States. We saw 30 and 40yearolds on ventilators out there. Just because the data may show that the mortality rate, so the risk much dying may be higher among 70 and 80yearolds and so on, that doesnt mean we im in my mid 40s and people in their 30s couldnt get very critically ill. Being on a ventilator is no small thing. That can leave lasting damage in many different ways to the body. We can put this up on the screen so people can see it. It shows you that 18 of the cases, are you do the math there, i mean, thats 36 in this group that isnt over 64 at least. Not to mention the people 20 to 44. Younger people are getting this. Nearly half of the patients admitted to intensive care units are under 65. Some of the people getting really sick are under 65. Dr. Kan, i want to go to you on the other urgent matter being delt with and thats the fact that the surge seems to be happening. Were getting shortages of supplies and shortages of medical workers in some of these Emergency Rooms around the country. Just tell us what youve experienced. Sure. Good morning. Thats right. There is definitely shortages of supplies throughout supply chains. Im hearing reports from my colleagues in different communities in the United States, luckily in the Hospital System we work in, we have adequate supplies for now. But given the surge of patients thats occurring, its very important that we take care of the supplies that we have and use it judiciously. What are you most concerned about . What are you in most need of, do you think . For the moment, its ppe, gloves, masks and gowns. These things are used rapidly. Theyre changed in and out between different patient encounters. In a single day, a hospital can go through a lot of this equipment. Dr. Kong, are you seeing lots of young people, since youre on the frontlines . Yes. We have actually seen a lot of young people. I want to echo whats already been said on your show. While it is true that mortality is associated with more advanced age, that does not preclude from younger people having serious illness. This is absolutely something ill reiterate, of the study done so far, this is brand new, nearly half the patients admitted to the icu are people younger than 65. Doctor, this makes the images so confounding and upsetting. Pictures of people on spring break in florida, on these crowded beaches. Then you hear statements like this. Ill read this out loud. This is from someone from miami yesterday. If i get crone a, i get corona. Im not going to let it stop me from partying. I think theyre blowing it way out of proportion. How dangerous is a Statement Like that . Well, i think its profoundly dangerous. You know, i think maybe trying to steer the young who think theyre invincible may not be the right strategy. Trying to convince them of why they need to be caring for others in their communities, their parents, their grandparents and others that they care about may actually be the better way to leverage their good actions. Dr. Gounder, we also hear from senator ron johnson trying to put this in a different perspective. I want to bounce this off of you because i want your perspective on this. He said we dont shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. Its a risk we accept that we can move about. We dont shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die from the common flu. Does he have a point that this is would you put this, the coronavirus in the same category as automobile accidents and the common flu and that we go about or try to go about our regular business . So first of all, automobile accidents and the flu cause about 50,000 deaths per year. This is on a completely different scale. Second of all, i would argue that the economy is going to shut down whether we like it or not. The only way, actually, to get that going again is to address this issue with the coronavirus pandemic head on. And thats whats going o help us in terms of rebooting the economy. Dr. Kong, one other bit of news in the last 24 hours, this naval vessel, the comfort is going to come to new york. This is a hospital vessel. The goal is to assist with the overall medical need to the community. Not specifically coronavirus. In fact, it wont be housing coronavirus patients. But explain wha when it gets here. Isnt coming for a while. How it will be of assistance. With the flood of coronavirus patients coming in, most seriously affected of us will require higher level care past icu level care. In the United States, its postulated something in the order of 100,000 icu beds. If theres a great surge of patients in the United States, they may not have the capacity to deal with them all at once. What would happen, not just the coronavirus patients need icu level care or serious medical care, but all other patients who ordinarily come to the hospital, they would need care as well. So a ship like that coming to new york, floating hospital essentially, extra hospital could provide that care for those patients. It wont be here until april. But obviously people are grateful that its on its way. Doctors, thank you for sharing your expertise with us. And thank you for what youre doing.

President trump signed an emergency coronavirus aid package into law that includes paid sick leave for some americans in quarantine and free coronavirus testing. Now, the white house is asking congress for a trillion dollar economic stimulus package. A trillion dollars. It could include 500 billion in Cash Payments to some taxpayers. Joining us now, christine romans, and richard quest, business editoratlarge. I keep emphasizing the size of this relief package which is enormous richard. Its because this situation, i dont even think yet as much as we talk about this we fully grasp the Economic Situation were in. Absolutely not. We havent even started to. Think about your everyday life. Every restaurant and bar and club in new york, every gym in many parts of the country is closed. That is having ripple effects of which we are only just starting to see. One person loses their income, they cant pay their rent. So on and several. The reality is that this money this trillion dollars is a very good start. But it is only a start. As a percentage of gdp it is way lower than lets say the uk, spain or germany has done. The u. S. Will have to spend or the view is between 3 to 4 trillion before this is over. So while it is an excellent beginning, lawmakers really are going to have to get used to the idea and not put the checkbook away. Those are staggering numbers, richard, for anybody to get their arms around. Theres an article in cnn business that says a trillion dollar deficit which is what we had and zero percent Interest Rates is no way to go into a financial crisis. Look, we squandered a decade. Theres accountability at some point for that. We were spending money at low Interest Rates. That gives you little cushion when you have something go wrong, no question. No one is asking for talking about deficits right now. They need to spend the money. Richard is right, this is a 20 trillion economy, a trillion is a start. But if you have the economy stopped for say, two or three months, it needs more than a trillion when you reboot it at the back end of that. Richard, one. Debates, the political debates over this is where is the right place to put the money. Do we give it all in the form of checks to lower income taxpayers, or bailouts to industry. You say . Every time i talk about bailing out the airlines or the hospitality, my email box overflows with people using vulgarities about over the top. This is not the time to go over the cliff on a matter of principle that you dont want to bail out some fat cats. Thats the long and short of it. Get over it. Youre going to have to bail out boeing. You have to bail out the airlines. Theres simply no other way to do it. You may put strings ont you may each one has to follow best practice on executive pay. But if you do not want a full scale depression with the collapse of the Airline Industry and transportation in this country, then think about not bailing out the airlines. I promise you it will happen. Dont hang yourself on the principle of executive banks. As you understand it, when will americans begin to get checks . They want to go quickly. In the next coupl
