Highvolume shopping areas you typically see, the streets are empty. That said, there are plenty of exceptions. For instance, people can go to the grocery store, pick up a few things, go to the gas station and also, they can come outside and get some fresh air and come to the beach and get a little exercise or toss the football around or just take in the sunset. So that is the situation here as you talked about this whole term shelter in place, it is a little bit misknown. You think about hunkingerihunke after a shooting or a tornado coming. That word does not apply because you see so many people taking the sight this evening in San Francisco. And im glad people are heeding this. Do they are they told a sense of how long this is going to last for them, dan . Reporter well, right now the order is in place until april 7th, but this afternoon, you heard governor gavin newsom saying more than half of californians could come down with the coronavirus in eight weeks. Eight weeks. So, you know, when you look around, think about that for a second, more than half of the people that you see around here could get the virus. So theyre saying april 7th but when you think about those numbers, you have to think they will extend that well beyond april 7th. Dan simon, thanks very much. The opposite of just about everything you see in california being played out in the beaches across the southeast as people are having a good time on spring break ahead of keeping us safer them sevens included. Today the minor of miami, florida urged people to shelter in place and fla foridas gover said stay off the beaches, spring break is done but he did not close the beaches. Gary tuchman is in georgias st. Simon island. The situation on the beaches, what does it look like now where you are and elsewhere . Reporter anderson, spring break is not done. Were on st. Simon island, a spectacular beautiful place, a very popular spring break destination every year including now in 2020. The governor of the state has not mandated any closings of restaurants, bars or beaches. The bars, restaurants open tonight. The major parting will take place after 10 00, 11 0 0 tonight and the beaches are crowded. East beach is a popular beach. When you get to the parking lot today, completely full. You go on the beach, very crowded. Now some people are making it a point to try to find empty areas of the beach and sit separate from each other but they are in the minority. Most of the College Students not just College Students. There are families, children and many people in their 70s and 80s are sitting close together, five five, seven, nine people. Some said the same things they felt this would wash over, they felt this was like the flu. More common thing was what a lot of teenagers say if you were a teenager or have a teenager, you know you feel invincible. They said its a new virus. I had viruses before. Ill be okay. We asked this question, were not moral policeman but asked questions about mortality and said what if you get it and go home and your parents, grandparents, great grandparents are home and get sick and die . A lot of these young people, please be quiet, please be polite to us, thank you. Were on tv now. A lot of these people told us, they started thinking about it after we told them grandparents, parents they could get sick and one young lady said im not worried about this. Then she said i live with my grandmother and started thinking about it. It was 80 and sunny today and easy with the waves coming and the sand was beautiful. It was easy to forget about the coronavirus but as we walked off and walked back in the parking lot, it was like waking up from a good dream. We thought about the coronavirus again when we were leaving. Its a bad dream for all of us watching that. Gary tuchman, thank you. Joining us is dr. Mark ryan, director of the Health Emergency program. When you see the report people here in america not heeding warnings about social distancing and hanging on the beaches and going to bars in georgia, im sure its not just happening here but other parts of the world. Yes, i mean, weve seen some of the situations elsewhere but i think as others said earlier in this program, we need people to cooperate and take responsible action. We are and in the world and be responsible for the health or ourselves and others. Dr. Ryan, pleasure to speak to you. Im sure youve been following some of the events in the United States and the White House Press earlier this week. President trump said that the United States was not offered the test for coronavirus and also said it was quote a bad test. I wonder if you can clarify these points. Did the who ever offer a test to the United States . They developed the test mainly to support countries with weaker Health Systems. The United States is a fabulous scientific system and wonderful fa g capacity and was developing those tests under the leadership of cdc. We did not offer the tests. If asked, we would have responded what about this issue about the the quality of the tests sorry. So what about this issue about how good the test is . The implication was that the w. H. O. Developed these tests but they had a high false positive rate. In fact, listen for a second, dr. Ryan, to what ambassador burke said. Quality testing for our American People is paramount to us. It doesnt help to put out a test where 50 or 47 are false positives. I mean, thats kind of incredible. If you have a 50 false positive, dr. Ryan, its no better than flipping a coin. How good is the test . I think i follow that press conference were taken out of context because she wasnt referring to the w. H. O. Test at that moment. They were talking about the u. S. Tests and about how careful the fda had to be to be sure the tests go out to the u. S. Population with high quality. It was after that the points were made about the w. H. O. Test. The w. H. O. Test is developed in referenced last and weve seen that test performed extremely well in the field. We distributed more than 1. 5 million tests to 120 countries around the world. That test was performed extremely well and has been validated and continues to perform well in the field. Okay. For the first, china reported no new cases ocho tf the virus, confident are you in the numbers and data and if true, how significant is that . Absolutely no reason to doubt the chinese numbers. Purely, a falling trend for the last number of weeks and weve seen that across the country and now in wuhan. The chinese have put an amazing effort in. They are focused on Public Health measures and containment and physical distance and community education. They focused in some cases in movement restriction. These are strategies that are applied by everyone around the world right now. The chinese obviously had the disease before anyone else did and theyve had more time to make those measures work. We have absolutely no reason to doubt those numbers, and in fact, most cases that are occurring in china now are as a result of importations from other countries and thats what china faces now is the possibility of the disease reseeding in china from outside china. That is good news, obviously. A lot of people are looking to other countries to figure out whats going to happen here, but at the same time, as you know, dr. Ryan, italy surpassed chi chinas death toll. China has 1. 3 billion. Italy has 60 million. Much smaller. How concerning is that, whats happening in italy . I think it is very concerning, obviously, again, italy is further down the track than other countries. They were taken by surprise by what happened as has been the case in a number of countries and have an older population profile and they got they have to deal with an escalating epidemic, and clearly the Health System there is under tremendous pressure. We have to commend the front line doctors and nurses and communities standing fast and showing solidarity needed to Work Together to push this virus back. But i think other countries really, really need to step up and learn the lessons that are being learned in it laly now. We have to push the virus back. It not just enough to do social distancin distancing, its good to have that and separate people but we have to be able to go after the virus. We have to be able to suppress the virus and not just see it passover and stress the Health Systems around the world. When you say it not just social distancing, what more needs to be done in the quite for instance . More needs to be done . Are you talking about Contact Tracing . Each country has its own set of challenges. You have the finest Public Health servants in the world in the u. S. Tony was talking about the ebola. That would have never been possible without it. We have people at cdc, most of the world has based the Public Health architecture and that has been developed in the u. S. You have a tremendous system. The issue now for looking at the United States is you have 50 states, you have a different situation at each of those states and you need to taylor the responses to each of those states and where you get a chance, you need to go after the virus and Contact Tracing and isolation of cases and quarantine of contacts is still a strategy that can be used and i know that strategy is being used in the u. S. Its a mixture of strategies. It a daily process of adapting those strategies and the u. S. A strong nation with strong leadership and has the capacity to fight. What is the difference with problems with Contact Tracing here in the quiUnited States, because of the holdups, whatever you want to call it, the lack of tests out there, if you dont test people, you dont know they are positive, therefore they may be positive and you dont have time to Contact Trace them because you dont know they have it so youre missing that opportunity. Yes, tony mentioned earlier how the u. S. Failed at the capacity of the test. Its eloquereally important to identify all confirmed cases. We need to test suspect cases. We need those cases to be isolated and it is difficult in very intense environments, its difficult to do the detailed Contact Tracing but in ebola, tin the peak of the outbreak, we were tracing 25,000 contacts a day in the middle of a war zone. It is possible to do Contact Tracing, even under the most difficult circumstances but does require a real scaleup in Public Health capacity and where that can be done and the virus can be pushed back we can save lives. Doctor will ripley is in tokyo and has a question for you. Will, go ahead. Reporter hey, thanks, anderson. Dr. Ryan, in less than an hour the olympic torch is going to be arriving here in japan and officials continue to insist that theyre moving forward with plans to host the olympics on schedule at the end of july. They point to the relatively low number of confirmed infections here. Its around 900 for a country of 125 million people. Japanese Prime Minister abe has not enacted emergency law despite having the ability to do so. Pointing to the low infection rate. The thing is here in japan they are testing a tiny fraction of what theyre at the timing in other countries. The latest numbers from the Health Ministry on tuesday showed japan tested 15,000 people and south korea is testing 15,000 people a day. So how can the world feel confident that japan has the coronavirus situation under control, can the world feel confident given that were seeing such limited testing here . Dr. Ryan . I mean, your numbers are correct. Remember, again, when you look at that test per million population, that 13,000 tests if you look at testing around the world, the u. K. Has tested 450 per million whereas thats ten times that in korea and japan, some are in between. So from that perspective, we spoke with our japanese colleagues today online and they really have worked very hard identifying close disease and really working hard on kContact Tracing and quarantining. I have no reason to believe they are not making progress in japan and the olympics is a major global event. As other events and japan has hope that the olympics may go ahead. That will be based on a Risk Management decision and obviously, the government of japan and ioc will not make a decision to go ahead if there is danger to athletes, danger to spectators and a lot of that will depend on how the disease evolves in the coming few weeks. Dr. Ryan, thank you very much for joining us. I know how busy you are and thank will ripley, as well. Sanjay, this question was sent into facebook via facebook and i want to read this. It says how long does the virus stay in the system . After 37 days a patient can shed the virus. Is that accurate . I think that was like an out liar but explain. Yeah, i mean, hook, welook, still collecting data. We interviewed carl last week in the town hall and i dont remember how many days total he was getting tested every other day. What you hear from most people and dr. Fauci repeated was up to 14 days, the quarantine time period is based on the fact where they think most people will no longer be shedding virus at that point. Clearly, by the way, the typical amount is around five days. But clearly, there are some o outliers. I talked octo dr. Fauci abou this and i dont want to relitigate the past, the failure of testing in this is extraordinary. I mean, this is you hear dr. Ryan talking about, you know, america has the greatest health, you know, health care Public Health system and yet, you know, theyre still talking about, well, their efforting those tests and efforting is not a verb. I think will was obviously giving some really important data about japan as an example, as well, and look, im not quite sure, you know, how to think about this but i think the idea that obviously again, theres this balance between wanting to do the Public Health sort of job here but also not wanting to alarm people so, you know, would you under test for example in japan because you really dont want to jeopardize the olympics . You dont want to alarm people. It not the right answer, obviously, anderson, to do that but these are countries that can test. Theyve obviously had examples of other countries around the world testing. So you have to ask, you know, what happened here and what happened in japan . It fa was it failures or under testing for some particular reason . It will be interesting to see when we look back on this in the next several days or weeks. Coming up, i talked to bill de blasio last night. He said hed like to see the u. S. Military play a role in new york responding to building hospitals, building field hospitals.

With the pentagon to deploy mobile hospital units, the military is contributing to the effort and may contribute more. Bill de blasio wants the military to deploy hospitals in new york city and a hospital ship is preparing to leave. What more though can we expect . One answer might be to look back at the u. S. Military role and try to help another crisis, the 2010 earthquake in haiti as part of his relief effort, sean penn works with the u. S. Military in haiti helping coordinate get tens of thousands of people food, medical care and ultimately back into their homes in some cases, one of the largest displacement camp in portauprince worked closely with the military how they operate and im glad he could be here for tonights town hall. Sean, its good to see you. Im wondering, given your experience on the ground in haiti, you worked closely with the military and work closely and military officials that you work with closely there. What kinds of things does the military do really well in these kind of situations . Well, in the instance of the haiti earthquakes, the command and control was out of south florida. We had direct coordination with them. They, of course, with the pentagon and with the state department, of course, ultimately with the white house and they the actions that were taken, we had 22,000 troops deployed immediately into haiti. There were the army corps of engine engineer. We had extraordinary amount of help from them deploying doctors all over the country from the military and the 82nd airborne in particular bringing it with helicopter access to helicopters and the rest of their horsepower, the ability to secure locations for food distributions so to create safe zones for that to happen and
