Well talk about the breaking news with the governor of new york, andrew cuomo. Our correspondents and analysts are also standing by. First, lets go to cnns Business Editor at large, richard quest. Richard, were seeing a Global Market meltdown on wall street. There was a pause in trading. But give us some historic points. It was the largest single fall and the first time the 7 Circuit Breaker was used. As you can see on the chart there, this morning, just shortly after trading began. The market traded within a range until the end of the day when there was a bit more selling. Theres no doubt about it, the mood today has changed. And the reason is not only do we have a worsening coronavirus situation in the United States and in europe, but also you have a price war over oil between saudi arabia and russia. The details dont really concern us, but saudi arabia is pumping more oil than the market can even want or demand. And as a result, were seeing prices fall dramatically. The economy tonight, wolf, in the United States, the core question, when i asked economist after economist, will the u. S. Go into recession, they say its still not probable but its getting more likely. 50 50. Thats a serious issue, of course, as well, it could affect all of us. How do you expect governments will respond around the world . Will the airline and cruise industries, for example, need help simply to survive . Yes is the short answer. Maybe not so much the airlines, but the cruise lines, definitely. All the major cruise lines fell up to 25 in a single day. When the state department is telling people not to take cruises, that industry is going to need some form of relief from the administration. Likewise the airlines, if this gets much worse. Overall, macroeconomicly, wolf, how governments react now will depend on whether we get a recession and a global recession. Each government has been asked, begged to now get engaged in some form of fiscal stimulus, start spending to avoid the worst. Richard quest reporting for us, thank you. Meanwhile, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States has climbed to more than 650 with 26 deaths now being reported. Our National Correspondent erica hill is joining us.

You should be doing what some people are calling social distancing, which really means stay out of crowds, dont do travel. Above all, dont go near a cruise ship, dont go on a cruise ship. Reporter as the number of confirmed cases passes 600 in the u. S. , local and state governments are working on how to best contain the virus. If it continues to spread, were going to have to take drastic containment measures, which means you basically shut down everything which is what china did.

Certainly will, erica hill reporting, thank you very much. As the white house scrambles to deal with all of this, there is deep concern right now that the president himself could possibly, possibly have been exposed to the virus. Were standing by for a White House Briefing. The Vice President , mike pence, and his task force, will be going into the briefing room, making statements, updating us and answering reporters questions. Lets go to our White House Correspondent boris sanchez, working this part of the story for us. Boris, some lawmakers, four at least, are in selfquarantine. Reporter thats right, wolf. Four republican lawmakers now under selfquarantine. Two of them actually coming into close contact with President Trump in recent days. I asked the white house for comment on this but they have yet to respond. Further, the white house so far has just told the public theres no reason to panic, that everything is fine, and that President Trump is healthy. Some of those comment have irked experts that are meant to lead the charge, the response to this virus. Tonight the white house facing questions about how close President Trump may have come into contact with the coronavirus, as three republican lawmakers are now under selfquarantine after a person attending cpac tested positive for the virus. Congressman matt gaetz who mocked growing fears of the virus by tweeting a photo of himself wearing a gas mask last week, announcing he came into contact with a coronavirus patient at a conservative conference and had contact with President Trump as he flew home with him on air force one. Republican congressman doug collins visited the cdc with trump on friday. Press secretary Stephanie Grisham says there was no concern about the president although tensions were rising at the white house over increasing alarm over the Novel Coronavirus and the stock market. As the number of u. S. Cases skyrockets, sources tell cnn theres a growing rift between the white house and National Health agencies on messaging. Cdc officials privately accusing the white house of downplaying the growing crisis, with experts repeatedly forced to clarify trumps incorrect or misleading claims. Sources say that behind closed doors, trump has warned top officials, including Vice President mike pence and hhs secretary alex azar, to avoid making statements that would stoke fear or panic, with trump blaming a pessimistic outlook for plunging stock prices. But dr. Anthony fauci, the countrys top expert on infectious diseases, says hell stick to the facts. Any time ive come in front of cameras here or any other places, i tell you exactly what i feel based on the data, i give my honest opinion of what we should be doing, my honest evaluation, the same way as im doing it today. But i cant speak for everyone who is involved in this. Reporter even as secretary azar claims make no mistake, this is a very Serious Health problem. Nobody is trying to minimize that. Reporter that message undercut moments later by President Trump, downplaying the number of coronavirus deaths compared to the flu, also blaming the media and democrats for inflame the coronavirus situation and saying instability in oil markets is good for the consumer. Gasoline prices coming down. Now, wolf, back to congressman matt gaetz, sources indicate he spent at least part of the weekend at Martin Luther kial having dinner with the president on sunday night. Well keep you posted if the white house finally answers our questions. Lets hope hes okay. Boris sanchez, thanks very much. New york Governor Andrew Cuomo is joining us, governor, i know you have a lot going on, thank you so much for spending a few moments with us. Can you give us an update, governor, the latest numbers in new york state, how many coronavirus cases are you currently tracking . Thanks, wolf, good to be with you. We have about 142 cases. We had a significant jump. So it would put us right up at the top in the country. We have one big cluster in we Westchester County outside of new york city, then we have some in new york city and the rest of the state. Are Health Officials in new york able to test anyone who comes in and says he or she needs a test . Yeah, thats a great question, wolf. And the Testing Capacity is still an issue. You look at the countries that have dealt with this well, you look at what china wound up doing, they did multiples of the tests that were doing. They were very aggressive on the testing. And then they tracked down every test. We have not yet come to where we should be when it comes to testing. Thats one of my issues with the federal government and working with them to get the private labs in, get the private labs using whats called automated testing so you get the volume up. Because china was doing thousands and thousands of tests per day. Were nowhere near that level yet. As you know, the cdc, centers for Disease Control, theyve been working to try to ramp up Testing Capacity. Has capacity improved in the state of new york in recent days . And when are you being told youll have full capacity . It has been getting better. But in my opinion not at a fast enough rate. And we shouldnt have started in this position anyway. I mean, we saw china happening. It was no secret. We knew someone was going to get on an airplane in china and come to the United States. That were saying that china actually had faster Testing Capacity than we have is not acceptable to me. You have state laboratories, we have a big state lab in new york, but then we need the private sector labs that have approved testing from the cdc. Quest has come in, some other private Sector Companies that do business on a nationwide basis. But were going to need multiples of what we have now. Every report says, wolf, and yours just said it earlier, whats going to happen, it depends on what we do. Government matters here. What government says, the message we send, and how well we actually administer. And if we dont get this Testing Capacity up immediately, were going to be behind the eight ball. When people see the testing numbers theyre going to be shocked, because the numbers will be very high. Just because were not testing doesnt mean the virus isnt spreading. Well see those big numbers and that will add to the fear that people feel. And then well have to actually communicate the facts of this situation because we already have, i believe, anxiety well in excess of what the facts would merit. You know, in japan, all elementary, middle schools, high schools, for millions of kids, theyve been shut down for the entire month. In italy, by the way, just moments ago, the Prime Minister announced that 60 million, all italians, are locked down. Youve ordered schools shut down to test for coronavirus. How worried are you about whats happening in japan or italy or south korea could happen here in the United States . Well, what we do, wolf, is we calibrate our response to the facts at the time. Where we have a cluster and we see rapid growth, were much more aggressive in closing schools, gatherings, et cetera. We have a general rule that any school that has a child that tests positive must close for 24 hours so we can come in and assess the situation and make a determination as to long term closure, et cetera. Again, the trajectory of this disease will depend on what we do. If we get that Testing Capacity up quickly and we actually track down those cases, we can reduce the spread, just reduce the spread. If we dont, youll see it spread more. And then you have to take more dramatic actions, closing down schools, et cetera. We dont want to get there. Nobody wants to get there, because that all right have a negative impact on the economy, on top of everything else. But you could get there if you dont stop the spread. And that requires additional Testing Capacity and investigation. Every time you find a positive, you then have to run down that case. Its a whole detective investigation. And then contact all those people. So its a massive logistical operation. It certainly is. We appreciate, governor cuomo, the time you spent with us. I know you have a lot going on, presumably by all accounts its only going to get more intense. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks, wolf. Stay with us.

I want to bring in our senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. The cdc is under fire for their reaction to the latest pandemic, whats the latest . The cdc is one of the most respected Public Health institutions in the world but theyre getting criticism for how theyve handled the recent Novel Coronavirus outbreak. Reporter the u. S.
