Today. Over 2500 americans have died. It is 6 00 in new york city. Good morning, everybody. Today is what was going to be the 15th day of 15 days to flatten the curve or slow the spread. Yesterday the president said, you know what . This thing is supposed to peak in two weeks when i was hoping we could open things up around easter, cant do that. So, anxiously, looks like we are going to be sequestered for another month. Ainsley yeah. He says he wants everyone to stay at home as much as possible and stay safe and that way hopefully we can wipe this out in the next coming weeks, coming months. President trump has agreed to come on our show. He will be with us at 8 00 a. M. This morning. Is he calling into the show. Social distancing will be calling from d. C. If you want to send in questions friends foxnews. Com. We also have dr. Nicole saphier coming on the show. Dr. Mehmet oz doctor marc siegel. We have floridas Governor Ron Desantis and former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich, brian. Brian yeah. Its going to be great. Soon we will convince the president its great to have him. Maybe use his iphone which we know he has. Maybe he could join us via skype or face time. Im willing to pay the bill. Great to have him. No one can say he is not accessible through all of this. I wanted easter as aspirational goal. Now april 30th. If something happenings in between go from there no. Dark secret happening behind the scenes. He literally sat there for 90 minutes yesterday taking all questions. Half of the press asking the quells were looking to play gotcha. The other half actually wanted information. Meanwhile, an urgent warning for the white house experts. The u. S. Right now could see more than 1 million covid cases and possibly 100,000 deaths as cases in new york near 60,000. May be a Silver Lining in the pandemic epidemic. Todd piro is live as emerging hot spots call for help. Todd . Todd dr. Anthony fauci making clear its not a certainty we are going to hit the numbers brian mentioned but cautioned it could happen. I think its entirely conceivable that if we do not mitigate to the extent that we are trying to do that you could reach that number. You could make a big sound bite about it but the fact is its possible. Todd and with peak death toll expected in about 20 weeks trying to keep up. Michigan governor saying her state could be in dire straight . Couple of days. Louisiana rivalling that of new york city. And with florida calling for tighter restriction us. The cdc clarifying travel warning for the tristate area. New jersey, new york and connecticut. Restrain nonessential travel for 14 days effective immediately. But there is a glimmer of hope with the rate of new cases across new york state dropping steadily since the state at home order on march 22nd here. The white house asking all governors and mayors to follow new yorks lead in how it prepared for the large rise in cases. Positive take away, guys, in the countrys epicenter with close to 60,000 cases and close to 1,000 deaths at last count. Back to you. Steve thats right. Brian todd, thanks so much. Steve on this monday, march 30th, this really ainsley and brian, is a make or break week because coming up on wednesday, its april 1st. And the rent is due for a lot of people. And so, a lot of companies are going to have to decide, you know, who are they going to keep on the payroll. Who are they going to have to let go. Can they call their landlord . Are they going to be able to get an extension on the rent . You know, it sounded like we would only be 15 days. Two weeks. But now another month, ainsley on top of this. Ainsley yeah. You are right. Hopefully landlords will be verd so folks can get the checks. The checks are coming in the mail. Steve mnuchin was on the sunday show yesterday saying expect three weeks. Took a lot of questions from reporters. He is explaining why he decided to change 15 days today. Then it was easter. Then now he is expanding it until the end of the month. He said nothing would be worse than to declare a victory before a victory is won. This is why he is extending the deadline. The highest point of death rates. Remember this is likely to hit in two weeks. Therefore, we will be extending our guidelines to april 30th. To slow the spread. We can expect that by june 1st we will be well on our way to recovery we think by june 1st a lot of great things will be happening. I want every citizen in our country to take heart and confidence in the facts that we have the best medical minds in the world tackling this disease. We have the best science, the best researchers and the best talent. Brian and there is more signs, too, that things are on the way to getting better. What is happening out in seattle they were hit first we know and it got really bad quick. We know that getting better. Showing the signs of slowing down and things we have been doing for the last few weeks are beginning to pay of o. In new york they think its going to peak in a week right here in new york city. After that will be the first to get better. Even though people dont want us in rhode island and dont want us in texas and new yorkers and they dont want us in florida. I get that keep in mind, the governor here working with our experts is working on an immunity test. He says when we get these rapid test that will tell us in 15 minutes. They can see a scenario in which we have the immunity test. We get to go to work. And then we come back and certain amount of people will have certificates. In germany, they are handing out immunity certificates hey, he or she had it already and now they are okay. There seems to be a glimmer of a pathway back to life as normal, steve. Steve yeah. I think you are right, brian. I think, you know, we had heard from the administration they were going to decide today about how they were going to proceed with reopening the government. Clearly the evidence right now shows that, you know, as to your point, its going to be bad over the next week in the new york city area. But then its going to get bad in places like detroit and new orleans, in the coming weeks. So you cant open parts awful though they were talking, ainsley, a little bit about the way to manage this would be to the people in the high risk groups. People over 65. People who have medical conditions. Isolate those people. I mean, when i go for a walk around my neighborhood. I can see the people in their house us. And they will occasionally wave and i will wave back. They are over 65. They know thats the safest way to keep safe. The other thing they are thinking about doing doing little experiments, they were, thinking about doing little experiments okay in clay county, kansas. There are zero cases of covid. Could we do an experiment to see if we could slowly open things up. They had been talking about Something Like that. But right now it looks as if all bets are off right now as we wait for the end of this coming month. And then they will reassess again, ainsley. Ainsley there is some good news this morning. Humana and cigna. A lot of you out there have these insurance companies. They will wave the copays, the coinsurance and deductibles for coronavirus treatments because a lot of people are going to the hospital thinking they have coronavirus and thats costing them i dont know whatever your deductible would be in some cases it would be 1,500 if not more. They are waiving that if you are going there because of coronavirus. You mentioned the test, brian. Abbott labs has developed new test kit it delivers results if you are positive in 5 minutes if negative 15 minutes. The fda approved it and four weeks normally that takes ten months or longer to approve it. Brian meanwhile, new york, the coronavirus epicenter approaching a grim milestone as nearly 1,000. Ainsley jump by more than 7,000 in one day. The total more than 59,000 cases, steve. Steve how are these quick surges affecting hospitals . Joining us now on the phone is the Vice President of medical operations for Staten IslandUniversity Hospital in the new york city area. Dr. Theodore strange. Doctor, good morning to you. I understand you are at bed capacity right now at your facility. Tell us the state of where we are on this monday morning. Yeah. Good morning to everybody and thank you for getting the story out there. This morning, we have seen the surge in Staten Island this week. Staten Island Hospital is close to bed capacity. However, we are finding new areas to bring patients to. We are taking nontraditional areas and patients on Staten Island with having ventilators in place. Appropriate ppe in place. And attempting and continuing to get the great heroic staff thats coming in. My colleagues who are doing the yeomens work out there so although maybe at capacity right now. By the end of the day we will continue to take care of all the Staten Island that needs to be taken care of. Ainsley doctor, what about go ahead, brian. Okay, the comfort ship s. A is n new york today. 1,000 beds. This is for staff that dont have the coronavirus so we can open up more beds in hospitals like yours. What needs to be done . If you have a message for the president , we will be talking to him this morning at 8 00. What would you like to say to him . Again, we are happy to have the extra hands and the extra beds. Again, our goal right now is for Staten Islanders to take care of Staten Islanders. I know there is also a plan out here for 1,000 extra beds on Staten Island. I know that our leadership with dr. Adolick and leader of the Healthcare System in charge of the state has been involved with the governor and federal people to attempt to see how to decompress this and when we need to do it. Currently our goal here in Staten Island is to continue to handle the patients we need to handle here between the two Hospital Systems on Staten Island and work within our network which is what we are doing. Again, we need to look at bed capacity the best way we can. Brian i was watching the governor yesterday. He said, look, this the number was doubling every three days, every four days, now its every six days. He is beginning to seeing a lessening of the numbers of people but the number of people are still going up. Do you feel as though Staten Island is close to capacity and in turn will this ship and some of these other places alleviate some of that and do you have the medical personnel you just dont have the beds . Again, as i just said hospitals here. Im sure doing the same thing. We have been able to shift our personnel currently to meet the needs of the community and we will continue to do that. Again, i obviously think if the rise continues at the rate it is, we will need help and support at some point in time. But, again, the government, our local Healthcare System has been very forthcoming with respirators, ventilators and appropriate personnel and protective equipment. But, again, i agree that i think Staten Island being unique as one of our burrows in the city may need some help, i know some of our other burrows and hospitals like queens has been hit hard also. Need to look at this locally within the region. Comfort and some of here to other places like javits and college of Staten Island help us to help the people we need to be able to do. At this point as i say our leadership under dolick and and michael d do ddoing. Can i tell you in our emergency room we only have. [broken audio] get them beds today. Steve thats fantastic. Doctor, before you go, of the people who come in walking the er and they say i think i have coronavirus and they may, how many of them do you send home because the symptoms are such where they are not having trouble breathing and not having tress pains and you feel they can recover in the confines of their own house . Sure. So, you know, just to give you data. Currently right now in house we probably have close to 100, maybe a little over 100 patients with the coronavirus in house because of their symptoms. Every day we are discharging probably 2 or 3 people, maybe more for every one that we have admitted. You know, there is currently over 200 cases in house on Staten Island. We probably have had, at Staten IslandUniversity Hospital we probably had 300 in Staten Island over 2,000 cases give you the relative number there we have admitted all 2,000 cases. Those are the patients that we know. Those sheltering in place that have symptoms im a primary care physician also, i know patients at home who havent been tested clearly have the virus. We dont even know that number. Just to give you 2,000 cases positive we know. 200 cases in the hospital. Ainsley dr. Strange, thank you so much for being with us and what you are doing there on the front lines. Thank you for getting the word and message out there. Everybody, please shelter in place, quarantine, its the most important thing we can do right now. We will get testing to you. Ainsley may god bless you and everyone you work with. Thank you. Ainsley hand it over to jillian for more headlines. Jillian stole this story out of arizona where a Police Commander is dead. Phoenix Police Commander greg was killed when a suspect opened fire during a Domestic Violence call. He was the father of four.

For me, the back street boys pulled off the impossible they are men by the way. They are no longer boys. They refuse to change their name more on that later. Way to so eufrpbg u soyinka syn. Try again try again try again. I have a sense whatever they raised they will get more today. Jillian im sure. Steve thats great. Maybe so many people were on line trying to get whole foods to deliver at 3 00 this afternoon. You never know. All right. Meanwhile, 6 17 in new york city on this monday, march 30th. Is there a cure for coronavirus . This morning, there is no new hope. People moved off ventilators and out of the icu after taking a drug normally used to treat hiv and Breast Cancer. The new finding coming up next. [ one more time by daft punk ] woo [ laughing ] woo play pop music no way dude, play rock music yeah woah no matter what music you like, stream it now on pandora with xfinity. And dont forget to catch trolls world tour. Lets party people one more time brian new hope in the cure. Moved off icu after taking a drug typically used to treat hiv and Breast Cancer. What about other drugs being used. Hackensack Meridian Health dr. Bor bordis kind enough to jn us. What could you tell us about laron. I dont know the drug personally study were seeing like several drugs we are trying to use right now in covid19. It works predominantly toning down immune response so the lung doesnt get injured. I will tell you, anything that might work its nice to get out there its United States to use it in emergency situations. Use it for compassionate use. Even better to get it out in clinical trial. Brian right. So you dont have much information on that. You just heard about that. You havent used it directly . Thats correct. Brian okay. What could you tell us youve used and what could you tell us you have seen. Okay. There is probably three big buckets of Clinical Innovation you are looking at. The first is kind of you who do you optimize the standard care. One of the things we are seeing in people who have to get ventilated because of covid19 this use of prone ventilation. Actually lay the patient on their belly while they are ventilated. Lets the hungs expand so you can get more oxygen down in the lungs. Thats been a big asset in trying to get these folks through their lung injury. Second thing are Clinical Trials. We are doing Clinical Trials right now with antiviral drugs. The most common one is ren desivir. Using that for both moderate and severe patients. We have enrolled patients in both of those trials. Looking at other antiviral drugs as well. Brian can i just stop threw . How is that drug doing . Remedies sir, how is it doing . Hard to say. Folks who have gone home and folks still intubated and in the icu. Brian last drug you wanted to bring up. I said the other pieces we are using hydroxychloroquine as an off label use use it for intubated patients and nursing home patients. Thats a group you dont want to get sick. Dont want to it to spread because theyre so vulnerable. And the other trial we are looking at right now that we hope to get launched
