A crew on ship testing positive. Being isolated on board so thats a change. Steve but there is no hope in the state rocked by the virus. Take a look. You can see the percent of new cases dropping over the past few days. Governor cuomo says the state could be nearing the flattening of the curve. And good morning, everybody. It is tuesday, april 7th, 2020. Once again, another split show. It sounded as well, ainsley and brian, from the governor, as if new york could actually currently be hitting the apex. And there was some good news as well regarding that socalled murray model or the university of washington model. That shows now fewer deaths. Last week, five days ago. They predicted 94,000 deaths. Now they are saying probably closer to 82,000. And ainsley, the need for ventilators is down substantially as well. Ainsley yeah. These are all good signs. Hopefully you are right, steve. Hopefully we are coming on the other side of this, according to the governor here in new york. And our mayor. They are all saying these are good signs. Thats the headline this morning. We are going to be talking to the experts to find out what they know about the drugs, what they know about the vaccines. We have dr. Nicole saphier and Todd Semonite army corps of engineer doing great things on those ships and dr. Mehmet oz who has been talking to me individuals about these drugs and what works and what doesnt. And then also larry kudlow. Brian . Brian yeah. Especially when it comes to economics kudlow. How do i pay my people . Am i going to be paid by my business . Can i possibly get through on Unemployment Insurance. Hot spots, new york, the governor so frustrating he sees stuff i dont see. Im going to start upping fines from 500 to 1,000 if you keep defying the shelter in place proclamation which i put out which is our best hope they say of stopping this virus. Keep in mind, hot spots now are considered to be pennsylvania, colorado, washington, d. C. Those places are going up. And the number one in terms of death per capita is louisiana. Meanwhile, this stunning news happened yesterday afternoon. U. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson in icu this hour battling the coronavirus not yet on a ventilator. We hope it doesnt happen at all. Greg palkot joins us live now from london with an update on his condition. Greg, what happened overnight . Yeah, brian and folks. Really rattling the u. K. Right now. The latest word we get is no word no, change in the conditional of u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnson but, yes, he is fighting the covid19 and, according to at least one newspaper, fighting for his life. The Prime Minister was diagnosed with covid 10 days ago. He left selfquarantine sunday night to be tested in a nearby hospital, but then, last night, a rant deterioration of his condition, high fever, persist tent coughing prompted the move to the intensive care unit. Yeah. Reportedly he is not on a ventilator not prepared for one. But he has gotten oxygen treatment to help his breathing. World leaders have been responding. A number of get well messages, including President Trump, take a listen. Americans are all praying for his recovery he has been a really good friend. He has been really something very special, strong resolute, doesnt quit. Doesnt give up. He has that Winston Churchill spirit which is a good thing. Filling in for him is a secretary of state equivalent here the foreign secretary. Yes, they still have a big problem here. Over 5,000 deaths from covid. Over 50,000 cases. A challenge on a couple of fronts rite now. Back to you guys. Steve it is, indeed. Greg palkot live in our european newsroom. We thank you very much. By the way also yesterday the president of the United States during his press briefing made it clear that he had asked two Therapeutic Companies working with the United States to Contact London to see if they could be of help to boris. Meanwhile bring in dr. Janette nesheiwat. She is an Fox News Contributor and emergency medicine expert and trained at the same facility he is being held at. Can you tell us dr. Nesheiwat, he is not on a ventilator right now but he is getting oxygen support. Hey, good morning, guys, yes. The reason why they moved to the icu if they notice that he is requiring increased amount of oxygen, and if he is still struggling to breathe with just oxygen through a unit, through a cannula or what we call a nonrebreather, then he may need to be put on a ventilator, because his mestlesst muzzles, his diaphragm, he is using his muscles to breathe. Eventually the muscles will tire out. Thats the point where you get put on a ventilator. It sounds like he ha has been stable throughout the night. I was worried that he might have gotten to that next step of having to be needing to be ventilated. But, it looks like he is holding up with just oxygen alone. I hope he stays like that. But with the high fevers and requirement of high levels of oxygen, that is worrisome. And usually the next step is being put on a ventilator. We need to definitely continue praying for him. Ainsley dr. Nesheiwat, lets talk about this antimalaria drug used for other things as well here in the United States. Its sparking controversy here. There was debate. Last night i was watching lauras show. It sifd her life thankfully the president made it accessible. Dr. Fawsh said we dont have enough information. Dont put much weight on it. Are you prescribing it . Is it working . I am prescribing it. It is a medicine if you want to try it, if you are moderately ill, you have to have the discussion with your doctor. Discuss the risks, the benefits and the side effects. The fda allowed approval for us to use it, to prescribe it. Yes, we understand there is no provable sign terrific data. If you had the possibility to save a life, understanding the side effects and the risk, then it is reasonable to try it. Yes, i am using it on some of my patients who are moderately ill. Some of them have said they feel better. Some of them said they cant really tell a difference. I think because its been too early. We have to also remember this is not the only drug. There are other medications as well that are being look at calitra. There is remdesivir and my favorite are the convalescent plasma antibodies. There is nothing wrong with try ago medicine that could potentially save your life unless you have a potential underlying severe medical disorder that might cause contraindication meaning if you have a heart arrhythmia and you take this medicine you have to understand those side effects and risks could it put you over the edge and maybe the benefit of the medicine would outweigh the risk of death. Its the conversation to have. Its a customized conversation that you have to have with your doctor. This medicine, im surprised to see everyone is giving it so much heat. Lets give it a try. If you could potentially save a life. As a doctor, i will take every preventative measure possible to help save the life of my patient, of course, within reason and in a safe manner. Brian exactly. I think sometimes some of these doctors or epidemiologists are so into their lane this is the way its done. We are in an emergency situation. And that really struck with state and stuck with state representative kate win set, a democrat from michigan. You know what, President Trump, thanks for going to bat for this drug. Listen. Yeah. I really want to say that you know, you have to give this an opportunity. And for me, saved my life. All i can go by what it is that i have gone through. And what my story is and i cant speak for anyone else. If President Trump have not talked about this, it would not be something thats accessible for anybody to get right now. It would not even be possible. And i mean that honestly. Because did i have a difficult time even that day of obtaining the medication because of an order that was put down in my state her name is karen whitset going to bat for the president in michigan. One quick word about Boris Johnson. When you have shortness of greta, is there a by pap option putting people on their side and giving them the oxygen mask that almost that could give them short of the ventilator which is not only harder to come by but oftentimes percentage of below 50 you are going to come off it . Sure. So those machines and i dont think he would be a candidate for that because they have ventilator there in the icu for him so that would be the first number one goto choice. If they didnt have a ventilator then maybe as a last resort. Those cpap and by pap machines dont they push oxygen in but it doesnt help to you ventilate and oxygenate your body as well as an actual ventilator machine. I dont think there is a i dont think that would be on option for him right now. He would definitely need to be put on the ventilator if he was not able to sustain a normal oxygen level with the Supportive Care that he is receiving now whether its a nonrebreather unit or nasal cannula. And i also wonder, brian, if they are going to be using hydroxychloroquine and zithromax on him. I wouldnt be surprised if they are doing that another thing thats important to understand that this is not the only drug thats being used off label. For example, propanula Blood Pressure and anxiety. Medication for gout also helps treat inflammation. This medicine hydroxychloroquine the way it works is disrupts the antiinflammatory process in the body so your body doesnt storm to fight this pathogen and infection causing fluid build up in your lungs where you cant breathe. Steve you know, the president did say at his breathing yesterday, he did have Therapeutic CompaniesContact London. He didnt say what the actual medicines were. Although he has talked a lot about high drox hydroxychloroquine. You will according to ambassador deborah birx, she says it comes down to having the choice. Thats the conversation that the patient has to have with the doctor. At least thats what she told sean hannity last night. Listen. I think thats why the president made it very clear that this is up to the physician and the patient and what the president has worked really hard on is making sure that the medication is available in pharmacies and hospitals around the United States. So physicians have the ability to make that choice. At the same time, there are rigorous Clinical Trials going on both by the who and nih to look at this drug and other drugs that are under development. Steve doctor, you know, it was a couple weeks ago we didnt know anything about this. So now, you know, people are learning more about it. And if they have got covid19, they are going hey, what about that for me, right . Sure, absolutely. I agree with dr. Birx and i agree with dr. Fawsh. We need to continue with trials and studies and i agree with the president. Give it a try. If you are on a death bed. Sick and not doing well with oxygen and being on a ventilator and albuterol and all those other types of medications and antibiotics and have you one last source to survive who wouldnt take that medication to save a life . Again, look at the risk, look at the benefits, have the discussion with your doctor. Its not a one size fits all but its a blessing just to have these alternatives, these medicines to at least try versus nothing at all until we are able to get vaccines and other therapeutics on the market. Ainsley absolutely if it can save one life it might be worth it or is with worth it. Dr. Nesheiwat, we want to know if we have the antibody and i understand you are taking part in a study, tell us about it. Yes. Im so excited a little bit nervous i have to admit. Im going down to stone brook they are conducting a study. 95 of my patients have coronavirus whether i diagnosis nasal swab chest exray or cat scan. Im going at 10 00 a. M. Im going to have a finger republicaprick. I dont think i have it now. You could be asymptomatic carrier. If i do test positive, eventually the goal is i would be able to donate my blood and my plasma to help save the life of someone else. There is no better feeling than to be able to make a difference in someone elses life and hopefully soon this needs to be available to everyone. Anyone should be able to get this test done because your blood can potentially save the lives of others and on top of that if you end up testing positive, you will know that you need to, you know, selfisolate for 14 days so you dont transmit to other people. I will keep you updated and know the results. Brian so doctor, you have to be asked to take that test right now . Yes. You cant just go and do it. But i feel very lucky to be able to help out. Ainsley when will you find out . Immediately . Within 15 minutes. Ainsley whoa. Within 15 minutes. I will let you know very soon and keep you updated. Brian one of those makeshift hospitals suffolk county, west bury the place in Nassau County which has a lot of hot spots why the right now. Doctor, thanks for joining us. We appreciate it . My pleasure. Thank you, guys. Ainsley good luck today. Brian good luck to you.

Lets party people one more time steve right now hundreds of people are stuck on board the coral princess cruise ship that docked in miami on saturday. Three passengers died from the coronavirus with more than a dozen rushed to area hospitals. Princess cruises disembarking but stopped cdc changed guidelines no longer passengers take commercial flights home some were set to go to california, australia and the united kingdom. When can people eventually get off the ship . Joining us with an update right now is Miamidade County mayor carlos journalist. Mayor, good morning to you. Tell us about the decision to have them dock in miami because i understand they tried to dock in Fort Lauderdale but they apparently said no. And wound up in your territory. We were told that there were very sick patients. American citizens that were dying on the ship. So im a former paramedic, firefighter, for me we have got to save lives. It was a pretty easy decision for me. I said go ahead and bring them in because we cant let those people and american citizens parish at sea. They came in unfortunately on the way in, two of those patients died. On the way to port. One of them passed away about a day after. But, you know, the good news is that the majority of the passengers are off now. It came in with about 1,000 over a thousand passengers. And we are down to 250. We expect another 180 to go home today. And we have told princess lines they have to make accommodations for the final 80 or so passengers and its up to them to make those accommodations and meet the cdc guidelines and get those folks home. Steve i thought all Cruise Travel for the most part had already stopped. Why did they when did they take off and didnt they know that there was trouble on board a number of other ships . That cruise actually took off on march 13th, i believe, down in south america. Either argentina or capitol chi. It was basically roaming around looking for a place to stop it. Was supposed to come back, you know
