Restrictions could result in a second deadly wave. On the other side protesters gearing up in more states refusing to comply with orders they say are violating their Constitutional Rights. Welcome to fox news at my. Kevin cork kicks off with details of the president s plan to get america back to business. The white houses guidelines are recommendations guided by, quote, clinically driven metrics. According to the white house, a fancy way of saying circumstances on the grounds should be the guide for reopening the economy. Our team of experts agrees we can begin the next friend in our war which we are calling opening up america again and that is what we are doing. Donald trump did as he promised, he said he would lay out plans for reigniting the us economy as soon as he could, turns out that was today. We are going to work with them, help them but it is going to be up to the governors. I think you will see quite a few state starting to open. I call it a beautiful puzzle. You have 50 pieces, all very different but when it is all done it is a mosaic, it is going to be a very beautiful picture. The president said his plan would be a datadriven, 3phase approach, phase i would in effect begin the slow roll out, limiting school, youth activity, movies and sporting events while allowing those ready for elective surgery and wanting to hit the gym to have at it. Phase 2, each additional phase would loosen very sensitive benchmarks like nonessential travel, ultimately allowing business to senior care facilities and hospitals to resume. As i have said a National Shutdown is not a sustainable longterm solution. To preserve the health of our citizens we must also preserve the health and functioning of our economy. Over the long haul, you cant do one without the other. Democrats on capitol hill sharply criticized the white house effort, nancy pelosi should a statement that read in part the president s continued insistence on moving forward without testing, contact tracing, Demographic Data collection and respect for science and the fact risk further death and economic disaster. So politics as usual in washington. You may be wondering what now . Listen to your governors. If you are in a state that hasnt been hardhit chances are you will reopen fairly quickly but if youre in new york or new jersey the truth is it could be months before your estate gets the green light to resume business as usual. Shannon everybody will be anxiously awaiting the states decision. White house Officials Say the guidelines will be datadriven, not date driven. What is the data telling us tonight . Trace gallagher is on the case for us, good evening. Reporter we focus on new york because it was the hardest hit state and will likely be the last state to recover and it is recovering. When medical experts talk about flat, bending the curve, the key indicator is the number of new patients being hospitalized. On april 2nd new york admitted 1400 new patients. That takes into consideration those who either died or were discharged. By yesterday new York Hospitals had 600 fewer patients than the day before in the same trend for those being intubated, april third, 351 people were placed on ventilators and by yesterday, 40 more people being taken off ventilators then placed on them and those numbers were reflected in the new number of deaths, new york at its deadliest day on april 10th with 783 and from there it has remained relatively steady until yesterday when the state had the fewest deaths since april 5th, all very encouraging signs and we are getting more detailed information about who the virus is killing. Health department have released the ages of 18,000 of the 31 plus thousand people who died of coronavirus and more than 85 of them were older than 60 with the Largest Group being older than 80. Fewer than 2 of those who died were under the age of 40 and we do not know how many of them had underlying conditions. Finally in new jersey and one of the hardest hit states, an anonymous tip led to the discovery of 17 bodies crowded into a 4person morgue at one of the states largest nursing homes. The new jersey governor says he is heartbroken by the discovery. Im also outraged that bodies of the dead were allowed to pile up in a makeshift morgue at the facility. New jersey living in longterm care facilities deserve to be careful with respect, compassion and dignity. Nationwide more than 5600 people have died of coronavirus at longterm care facilities, new york, new jersey, connecticut, pennsylvania, delaware, rhode island and massachusetts have extended their stayathome mandate until may 15th. Shannon mike to one signaling his intentions tonight saying he plans to begin reopening the Buckeye State on may 1st when his first stayathome order expires. The primary, restarting the economy to bring back jobs, reducing any chances of Health Issues and something even special like this. The thought the kids wouldnt be able to take their lambs to show, that is just horrible. Something we all have to work through. They are challenging, doesnt mean it cant be done. Lets look at the ins and outs of the president s guidelines for opening up america again with members of the administrations Economic Advisory board, phil haggerty, former ambassador from japan running for u. S. Senate. Good to have you with us. You saw the rollout the president had with the backing of Anthony Fauci. The white houses are vague and inconsistent document does nothing to make up the president s failure to listen to the scientists and produce and distribute National Rapid testing. That is something people have hammered on again and again, we have to have more broad testing of that has been part of the conversation you and other Business Leaders have had. It is part of the rollout plan. You are seeing a structured approach that puts the safety of the American People at the forefront. That has always been the president s main concern but he has been clear weve got to get our economy back and running again and this lays out a consistent program for guidance that could be modified by the governors, they have the last two to do that but this shows a clear aim to get our economy started back again, weve got to get that done and i applaud the president for his leadership in doing that. Shannon you know that people have to have confidence if they are going to go out and spend money, return to businesses that have been a favorite of the years, Pure Research says when it comes to problems the us is facing from the outbreak, who thinks the worst is still to come . 73 , 26 think the worst is behind us. Have you convince the American Consumer when and if it is safe for them to go back out to places where they spend money and reinvigorate the economy and jobs come back to those who lost in the process . Youve hit on an important point in the program the president laid out the governors, to for guidance goes a long way toward putting us on a path to restore Consumer Confidence in america. It will be critical to get demand back. I was talking to a friend of mine who successfully deployed one of the pt loans, he has 350 people on his payroll so the payroll protection effort on this case will be very successful but hes hoping demand will be there as he makes his way through this. I think it will be. We have to instill confidence that it is safe to go out again. What the president is doing is keeping health and safety at the forefront but laying out a measured path to get there. Shannon lets talk about the Paycheck Protection Program because it has been a lifeline for millions of people and businesses out there. The initial tranche of money was 350 billion, we are told that has been exhausted because 1. 6 million loans have been approved, 5000 different lenders, today the president said he felt this was good news because it means people are able to tap in and get the help they need and yet now capitol hill is stuck. Theres a lot of back and forth about another round of 250, whether it should be more, where the money should go. Was would you say to our leaders, democrats and republicans were not getting that done . We need this program funded and funded now. This is why the president is endorsing for the United States senate, tapping to join the Economic Advisory board because the strength and courage to stand up and crazies like this in the economic experience to get it done. Our leaders need to realize this program is desperately needed. The fact that it ran out of cash today demonstrates that there is a huge demand for the program. We need to keep going. A moment nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer continue to play politics and slowed us down putting more American Workers out of work more American Business out of business. Democrats control the house, republicans control the senate and in the joint statement between Chuck Schumer and House Speaker nancy pelosi they point finger back, saying it is time for republicans to quit the political posturing by proposing bills they know will not pass either chamber and get serious and work with us towards a solution. We are told talks will continue at every level and with Steve Mnuchin as well. How do we get to a solution . The solution was obvious days ago when leader mcconnell put ford a clean bill to add more dollars to the program that we know is running out of money and we know is going to be successful. Rather than do that democrats decided to halted again. Remember what nancy pelosi did the first time, she flew back from San Francisco and held it up for 5 days to argue for a longer list of socialist expectations. The kennedy center, we had go through this process once already. We tried to reload this program. Other things democrats are asking for we can get to but dont have to hold the American Economy hostage, the American Worker hostage in the process. This is a strange time. Almost doesnt feel like an Election Year because of Everything Else we are dealing with but we will watch your campaign and many others and maybe we will see you out there on the trail. The growing confidence in the suspicion that covid19 escape from a Wuhan Laboratory some troubling questions. Why was china studying the virus in a facility that apparently lacked sufficient safety protocol. Thats discussed that with doctor mark siegel. How are you . Shannon very good. What is your take on the story as it develops . I am concerned about the idea that state Department Cables revealed in 2018 that the Wuhan Virology Lab was not properly staffed, didnt have proper security. A lot of red flags raised about this lab. The question of why they were studying such dangers of coronavirus is in this lab. I want to point out the story coming out about bat viruses jumping to humans isnt entirely accurate. We need to correct it because studies published in major journals since the end of january show this particular virus covid19 has about 88 similar structure to bat coronaviruss, 88 is not 100 which implies it jumped species to another species before humans. Im not yet buying that it went from bats to someone in the Wuhan Virology Lab to humans. Im suspicious what markets may have played a role but may have ended up in this virology lab after that. There may have been intermediary species. Shannon theres so much we dont know us china comes clean with us. The talk of what they may have been doing with this in the lab, they were studying it, possibly trying to find an antidote. We talked about whether they had intense to get a Competitive Edge on the us or other parts of the world, what was going on in that lab . After talking about the devastating impact all day i have been talking about the devastating impact this virus has on the human body, its overcome by a weapon the way it acts on the body, the inflammation, blood clots from all the organs affected. It is not a bio weapon, it wasnt bioengineered by anybody, weve seen it under the electron microscope, doesnt show signs of genetic manipulation but it should they light on the question of what was doing or what viruses like it were doing in this lab. It raises the question of evil intent or intent to harm the United States. These are not innocent viruses by any stretch of the imagination and what they were doing their is very concerning to us. Shannon we would love to know and the fact that apparently wasnt up to the code that needed to be for handling something that dangerous is another question so lets talk about this. Investors pushing up the docket, early files of one of its drugs may be showing promise for treating covid19. How far along are we in that process . What do we know . This is something also we need to correct the information on a little. Gilead has a drug that has been in Clinical Trials in the United States. I spoke a couple months ago to the doctor in charge of these trials and he told me he thinks this is a promising drug. For limiter information was published in the new england journal of medicine the other day but it wasnt the fool Clinical Trials. Until we see the full Clinical Trials which wont be out for another few weeks we dont know what the answer is to the question, will it help and to what extent it will help. It will likely help but heres another question that needs answering. When do you give it . If you give it too late in the game and i told you about the devastating effects of this virus on the human body, information, blood clotting, not reversible, this drug even if it is promising probably has to be given early enough before the damage occurs. We need that information before we can decide how effective it is going to be. Shannon we are learning new things every day but is critical stuff we need to know. Thank you for breaking it down, great to see you. Former attorney to Donald Trump Michael Cohen is getting out of prison amid covid19 fears. He was scheduled for release in november of 2021.

Shannon the decision over to reopen state seems to be splitting on partisan lines shannon the decision whether or not to reopen states appears to be splitting along partisan mind in many cases, some democrats are doing Government Action backed by science is protecting vulnerable people, conservative say they agree but they believe there is room to protect other citizens physical and economic health. Reporter after 9 11 george w. Bush famously said you are with us or you were with the terrorists. The framing back then was peaceable, good guys and bad guys. Now it is far more complex. Those who talk about the Economic Cost of the shutdown are branded heartless death mongers and those who talk about Public Health are said to be tone deaf to the now 22 million seeking jobless claims. More protests to reopen the economy are coming. On saturday rally at the maryland State Capitol building, they the Pennsylvania State house and next week there will be a wisconsin freedom rally in madison. The movement started with 10,000 cars taking over the streets of lansing, michigan. New york magazines caption said they look a lot like refugees from a tea party rally ten years ago, the democratic governor argued Public Health trumps most Everything Else at this point. Untold numbers on the way here, grabbed a bite on the way home. We know that this rally in danger to people. We should reopen kentucky immediately right now. That would kill people. The other side has its reasons to be skeptical. John harris wrote the Pandemic Response arguably could represent a caricature of what critics tuesday about liberalism, government responding in a panicky way to headlines and hysteria, run roughshod over individual freedom and the private sector. A problem whose only remedy was even more remote this expansion of government. Republican senator from louisiana said this debate is the question of the lesser of two evils. I value life, we all value life in america so this isnt a question of not valuing life. This is a question of making a hard decision with th
