Ainsley this as people are rallying against the stayathome orders. Protests breaking out in michigan, virginia, wyoming and North Carolina to name a few. Folks demanding to get back to work, steve. Steve thats right, ainsley. In the meantime, 2500 americans have died within a 24 hour period. The deadliest day of the pandemic yet in the United States. Now, deaths are topping 33,000 people. And that is a grim number. But, nonetheless, recoveries as well going up. Good morning, everybody, its friday, april 17th. I know sometimes its hard to tell what day of the week it is, tgif. It is friday. Good news on the economy. You know, yesterday the president talked a little bit about reopening things by may 1st. He also said it sounds like there are about 29 states could do it right now. The Dow Jones Futures are up about 700 because jill gilead. The companies that make drugs, one of the drugs is showing real promise with people in chicago hospitals. They did a trial there who had severe coronavirus symptoms. And this seems to really be helping them. So it looks like, ainsley, we have some things to help people if they get it. Ainsley yeah, brian and steve, im sure you were getting messages from friends yesterday. Oh my word we are in this situation because of may 15th. In new york they are saying our governor is recommending may 15th. Schools stay close. Social distancing and stay away from friends and that kind of thing. Its such a juxtaposition governors are trying to protect people but at the same time we all want to protect our freedoms and many people want to get back to work it. Really is up to the governors and thats what the president was talking about yesterday when he was suggesting these guidelines. Our country has suffered; therefore, my administration is issuing new federal guidelines that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states. We are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time now that we have passed the peak in new cases, we are starting our life again. Rejuvenation of our economy again in a safe and structured and very responsible fashion. Brian this is pretty consistent. The president of the United States is saying from day one hey, states, we have got ourselves a pandemic. I hope you are ready for it. If you are not, i will back you up. Some in the beginning saying wait a second, this is fema, the white house should be handling this. Then they realized i am in control. I do know my state than the white house possibly could. And it seems to work with a conference to Conference Calls. Democratic new jersey governor, new york governor, the california governor and thankfully thought as bad as they originally said. The president is looking at this up and down. Im going to give you rough parameters. You can adlib through. This you tell me whats going on, i will back you up. But heres what you can tell everybody that we are going on, we need to see a light at the end of the tunnel. This is probably the most positive press conferences i have seen in quite some time. So in phase one, roughly this is what they are saying, you have got to stay in place. Maximize the distance. We get it. Socialize in groups where 10 people dont go over 10 and minimize the essential travel. But it gives you a little bit of freedom while not trying to blow this thing up. They also say listen, there might be times when there might be a blowup in certain areas. Have to attack it. The you will have to have the beds and Testing Available and we will handle it and move on. We can always make adjustments. I think this is really strong, especially when you have 29 states who said we are pretty much ready to go. I like these regional things you set up. East seven states. On the west coast you have three states. The midwest is setting up theirs. This way there is some consistency if you dont like pennsylvania well i will run to new york. Now they are saying hey, guys, we will be in this together. Help each other out. We will exchange equipment. I love it. Steve right. And to ainsleys earlier point when she said she got the call from her friend who said we are going to be locked down until may 15th. Thats the alliance of the seven states throughout the northeast. Something we didnt mention at the beginning of this phase one is how does a state get to phase 1 . And they made it very clear. And by the way these guidelines came from birx and also dr. Fouchy in cooperation with the cdc. To get to phase one. You have to have a decrease of the number of coronavirus cases in your state over 14 days and then you can go to phase one. So, brian outlined the first part. So lets talk about phase one for the employers. If you are an employer and get to that phase one. You should encourage as many people as possible to work from home, telework. Can you return to work in phases, which is good. Probably be an a schedule and b schedule. People are staggered. People are social distancing at work. Minimize nonessential travel, and consider special accommodations for vulnerable personnel. And, ainsley, that is also one of the things throughout the demographic in our country that is vulnerable. People with preexisting conditions, vulnerable to covid19. For the most part, they are going to be isolating as long as they can to protect themselves. Ainsley thats right. And then there is also he also had guidelines for phase one for specific types of employers, like schools. He says that schools and bars need to remain closed. He says visits to senior facilities and hospitals, you dont need to do that unless you are living there or you need a hospital visit for yourself. Large venues that operate with strict protocols and meaning if you go to a large venue, you need to social distancing. You need to stay what is it 6 feet apart from each other now. Elective surgeries can resume. Thats good news for the medical community for folks that sell medical devices and people who need heart surgeries and cancer treatments. Gyms are going to open with strict protocols. I was surprised about that one. If the gym is open, you still have to social distancing if you are going to work out. A lot of people, yall, need to work out because they are going crazy at home. Suicide rates are up. I even read an article that Domestic Abuse is up because people are stuck inside with their spouse and temperatur teme flaring. And people are drinking all day. Brian beach time. How are you supposed to get your deltoids to maximum potential if you cant get to the gym. Ainsley i dont think they are worried about that. We will get our beach bodies back next year. Brian by the way, if you own these health clubs now its time to hire deep cleaning crews. Look at your floor plan and see if there is proper distance. When you go back, you dont want any hesitation to hurt your business any more because as we will talk about later, we stop with the Small Business loans because the democrats do not want to come to the table and fund Small Business loans. So everything is going on hold, including many gyms. The president forming a bipartisan council of lawmakers to help americans get back to work as talks continue on adding more funds to the relief plan. Griff jenkins live in washington. Griff, whats the problem here . They agreed on funding Small Business loans now whats going on . Griff good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. The problem aaccording to the sba and capitol hill is doing a terrible job of digging another one. 5 Million People lost their jobs bringing the total to 22 million. The president says the Paycheck Protection Program is now depleted urging lawmakers to move fast to save Small Businesses struggling. Exhausted is a good thing, not a bad thing. It went quickly it. Is so popular. What they want is people want to keep this going. And we are doing it to keep the Small Businesses open and keep the workers paid. We are negotiating with democrats and they should frankly approve it quickly. Griff this as the president forms a bipartisan Advisory Council including a republicans and two dozen democrat senators and it features two dozen bipartisan house members. Speaker pelosi, meanwhile, says this. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Thats what we do as legislatore are hopeful they will come back with something that strikes a balance and we know we need to do. Griff majority leader mcconnell adjourned the senate frustrated and focused on stand alone bill 250 billion for just the ppp. En democrats want 250 billion total for hospitals and state and local governments. Minority leader schumer is reportedly talking constantly with secretary mnuchin, but even if they strike a deal, guys, its very unclear that mcconnell would actually accept it. Right now the earliest we see any movement is monday. But its putting Financial Advisors all across the country in a tough spout. They are telling their Small Business clients keep applying that process because they hope more money is going to come. As we know, every minute counts. And whether you own a health club or any other Small Business, you are trying to figure out what to do. You are also trying to figure out if you can keep the doors open. Brian, ainsley, steve . Ainsley hard to believe that loan money has already run out. President trump defending decision to halt founding to the World Health Organization over its hand links of the coronavirus, brian. Brian all right. Our next guest applauding the move in a fox news oped saying this the u. S. Should demand answers to three specific questions steve here now with more is hoover institutes lonnie chen. Lonnie, good morning to you. This is a oped you have up on foxnews. Com. Of the questions, you say the first question the United States needs to ask the World Health Organization is why did the w. H. O. Ignore an email from talk juan kneetaiwanese health offict the virus could be transmitted between humans . Why is that important . Its important because very early on you which talk juan taa knees this is go from humantohuman. This is not what we were hearing from the chinese at the time. Why did the World Health Organization instead of looking into this. Instead of investigating, instead of trying to get the word out hey, maybe this virus can go from humantohuman. Why did they instead simply focus on repeating what beijing was telling them about the virus . This is a very important question that we have got to get to the bottom of because it affected the rest of the ability of the world to respond to the virus in an effective way. Ainsley your second question, lanhee did they make make several claims about the coronavirus that were either inaccurate, misleading in january and february . Countries still had an opportunity to build a response to coronavirus but, instead, the World Health Organization was focused on repeating some of these falsehoods or exaggerations that were coming out of china. For example, the issue of humantohuman transmission we talked about already. The second thing the virus was spreading in a slow fashion that was another challenge. The third thing was going up against President Trumps travel ban from china, which we now know was effective but, at the time, the w. H. O. Was saying dont do travel bans. Why were they saying these things at the time and then repeating the claims coming again out of beijing . Brian also, why was china lying the whole time . After all, yesterday, they just revised their death rate which was laughably low. They basically doubled it 50 . How much more are they going to be telling us in the future . Ask questions why did the w. H. O. Wait as long as it did to take Decisive Action . In the meantime as late as march they were praising chinas actions. You want an answer to that, right . All along the w. H. O. Even in the past even before coronavirus, think were really late to the game on a lot of these previous pandemics. Ebola, for example back in 2014. In this situation, they didnt even declare Public Health emergency until well after we had seen symptoms in the first victim in wuhan, well after this had spread broadly across china. And then they dont declare it a pandemic until the middle of march. So why were they so slow to do these things . What was the rationale and reasoning for that . We need to figure that out. Brian lanhee the chinese First Time Since 1976, their g. D. P. Struck 7 . People thought they were going to start coming out of this. They are not close. If you think about it, now, you have japan saying lets have a National Movement to pull our manufacturing out. Is there legitimate fear in china that this could be a global move because the u. K. To germany on down have expressed their disdain for the way china has handled this . Well, i think there is great concern about that. The other issue is there is no predictability anymore coming out of china. The one reach why you had a lot of people here in the United States and elsewhere who were building their supply chain through china because they said look at least its predictable. Now we dont even know that anymore. What you are seeing in the United States, you are seeing it around the world is an effort to shift those supply chains out of china to other places where they know they rele reliably can cooe and cooperate honestly. Steve going forward, the United States cannot rely on china for things like face masks and pharmaceuticals and things we are woefulfully short of right now. Thank you for being with us. Great to be with you. Steve 6 15 hear on the eas15 hd jillian joins us from our world headquarters. Jillian good morning to you. We again our headlines with this fox news alert.
