was data driven. >> the facts in our states our march 30th, we peaked in hospitalizations with 560 across the state. today, we have 300 across the state and our hospitals. and we think it's time for measured reopening. >> dana: we will talk to governor stitt in a little bit. we begin with william la jeunesse, he's reporting live from our west coast news hub as people are anxious to know what their governors are going to decide, william. >> about a dozen states this week will either lift their at-home orders completely, or ease restrictions as to what, when, and how things reopen. let's start in colorado, where reopening today includes child care, real estate showings, hair salons, gyms, dog grooming, dental, medical surgeries, retail opens on friday, and companies excluding restaurants open on monday at 50%. >> restaurants and bars remain closed. we are still developing with those guidelines will look like, we just don't have a trigger date, we don't know when that will be safe, they will continue with take-out, and delivery of course. as we work towards a phased reopening. >> other reopening's with restrictions include, lets her with arkansas, medical procedures today, restaurants wednesday, gyms thursday, personal care friday. montana, most retail today, restaurants and bars on friday, tennessee, restaurants today and retail on wednesday, both at 50%. let's go to oklahoma, restaurants, gyms, and movie theaters on friday. but not bars. minnesota, workers there can return to their jobs today, but restaurants and retail will remain closed. idaho, summer camps, day care, and retail on friday. indiana reopens pet grooming and hospitals and nurseries. then kentucky, oregon also do their medical and dental this week. mississippi opens retail today at 50%, then mame begins a phase reopening on thursday. sorry for all that detail, dana, but it doesn't show you have graduated this is. the bottom line, each governor dialing up what they consider high-value economic activities, reserving the right to dial it back. back to you. >> dana: william, tell me a little bit about california and of course, i know in southern california, you are experiencing a heat wave. the governor being cautious but also, i guess trying to be understanding that people are just going to want to be outside. >> you know, i think they know that, honestly, knowing that, i mean it was a beautiful weekend this weekend. so orange county, parts of orange county had beaches open. huntington beach, then he had north of that, parts of l.a. beaches being closed. they also lined the coast highway with k rails so people couldn't park to try to force them to walk a long way, some that were open, it's going to be phased in, they're probably looking at mid-may here in california. but governor newsom says he doesn't want to take any chances that things will boomerang against him. back to you. >> dana: nu reporting about the governors, william, what else did you hear about some of the decisions that you're makin. for example, you said in oklahoma, were going to try to talk to the governor in a minute, but restaurants can open but not bars. how are some of these things getting decided? >> well, first of all, the thing they're going to essays it has to be social distancing, you have to keep the 6 feet. then they're also doing it at 50%. but you're right, i think when we go through that, what it shows is how particular each governor is being as to what they're going to do. they all have advisory committees telling them what they can and can't do within this broader guideline of 6 feet or more, so i think they are choosing high-value activities that mean something to people, and it trying to bring some economic activity back in while still maintaining the right, if you will that if things go badly that they can change course. dana. >> dana: so many big decisions being made. william la jeunesse, thanks for your reporting today, we were appreciated. and the federal government replenishing the paycheck protection program to help small businesses survive. they can apply online for government aid today. but users essay technical glitches, are making the process very difficult. there's a lot of demands. fox business network edward lawrence is live in washington with more. edward. >> and it dana, the payroll protection program started about four hours ago. now, there have been some glitches with this, just a little bit. these smaller community banks are now saying that they haven't been able to get into this program and really get going with their smaller loans. they say the large batches that the larger companies have been getting through since 10:30 this morning eastern time. now, we are talking about some 700,000 applications that have been coming through this related to the small business program here. 700,000 small businesses are trying to get through to get these loans in and pay for their workers, make sure the those workers have payroll that they need. now, this business opens under new rules. this time, the business have to certify that they have the money and don't have access to money from any other places. now, small business administration says that large, publicly traded companies were likely not qualified. white house press secretary defends the program as at least 13 large companies were turning some $170 million while the smaller companies are still waiting for help. >> 0.3% of loans that have gone out, 0.3% have been to the order of $5 million or more, meaning they are companies. the vast majority, as i noted, 1 million of the 1.6 million loans that went out were companies with ten or fewer employees. that is what this program is designed it to do. that is who it is helping. >> when it's all said and done, some $600 billion will be processed through this payroll protection program. senator james lankford said that this program will not need to be re-upped in his opinion, because after eight weeks, the economy will be open enough to help these businesses. dana. >> dana: that is the hope, edward lawrence, thank you so much. and president trump is going back and forth over his covid press briefings, canceling and then on canceling one today after earlier today he called them "not worth his time." what is that mean? i'm going to talk to howie kurtz ahead. first, warning from meet suppliers that you could soon see a shortage of grocery stores and on your table. i'm susan and i'm 52 and i live in san francisco, california. i have been a sales and sales management professional my whole career. typical day during a work week is i'm working but first always going for a run or going to the gym. i love reading. i love cooking healthy. it's super important to me. i was noticing that i was just having some memory loss. it was really bothering me. so i tried prevagen and it started to work for me. i wish i had taken prevagen five or ten years ago. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. >> dana: some troubling new information coming from the world health organization which now says there is no evidence of covid-19 immunity. meaning that people who have recovered from the virus are not protected against getting it again. jonathan serrie is live in atlanta. jonathan, are they sure about this? >> no, all it means is that the evidence is out. the jury is out. they just don't have enough evidence to say whether it offers protection. they are hoping to eventually get the evidence to say that there is protection. but for now, they don't want people to carelessly go up and give up on the guidelines. now, in addition to tests for active infection, there are what they call serology tests that look for antibodies to determine whether you've been exposed to the coronavirus sometime in the past. from a public health standpoint, it shows you how extensive the disease has spread in your community. there may eventually, though, be personal benefits as well. take a listen. >> that would be the goal, to progress to the point where you could actually give somebody an immunity passport. right now, it's not there. >> until more is known, the world health organization cautions there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from covid-19 and have antibodies are protected from the infection. so now, even people who carry the antibodies are advised to continue following safety guidelines are long with the rest of us, which federal health officials say are likely to be around for an extended time. >> social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases. >> and the charlotte observer is reporting that one of the leaders of a movement opposing l distancing protocols in north carolina has admitted that she has tested positive for the coronavirus and says that she came out of her quarantine. on sunday. dana back to you. >> dana: jonathan serrie, thank you. as we mentioned at the top of the show, oklahoma is one of the states opening back up. and we want to bring in the states governor kevin stitt, thank you so much for being with us, and i know were having a little bit of camera trouble, but there you are, so great to have you. tell me a little bit about the data behind your decision to open up, let's see hair salons, barbershops, nail salons last week. and then this week a lot more. sporting venues, gems, places of worship. certainly that is welcome news to people, although you had one mayor in oklahoma city saying he wasn't sure, he thought maybe we should tap the brakes. your thoughts? >> well, first off, the reason we've done us as we are going to be data-driven in oklahoma. absent that from the very beginning. we have built capacity in our hospitals, we have flattened the curve in our state. we currently have 300 people across the entire state of oklahoma in the hospital, and we are built for 4,600 covid patients. we have increased testing by 36% just over the last week, and our positive cases have actually gone down. so we have meant the white houses for gates, and we think it's time for a very measured reopening in our state. >> dana: well, the other thing that i'm sure is on your mind is unemployment claims in oklahoma at 12% of the total workforce. and i know people in oklahoma work hard, and they must be anxious to get back to work so that they can support themselves and their family. >> absolutely. since march 15th we've had 285,000 oklahomans apply for unemployment, and that has a whole nother challenge. if so, my number one goal is to protect the health and lives of oklahomans. number two is to mitigate the damage to our economy and get our workers safely back to work. so those are the things that we are balancing, and we think it's time for a measured reopening in the state of oklahoma. >> dana: and maybe just a last question to you, how concerned are you about the state's finances they were in oklahoma given that obviously every state is going to take a hit. how does that factor into your thinking? >> well, you know, luckily we were fiscally responsible last year, and we saved $200 million, so we are going into that with our labor largest a savings account in state history. we've also asked the federal government for some flexibility for that third stimulus package which would really help some states. but we're gonna be fiscally responsible, we're going to be innovative on how we deliver core services, were going to be efficient. and with technology, we think we can come out of this and be really innovative in the way we deliver state services going forward. >> dana: i'm sure your citizens are happy to hear that. governor stitt, thanks so much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> dana: and some of the country's biggest meat suppliers are closed as their workers fight coronavirus, and that has companies concerned about cracks in the supply chain. and customers wondering whether to expect higher prices and shortages ahead. met sven's in chicago with more. matt. >> dana, it's looking lately were going to see at least a beef shortage in our stores, and we're going to be paying more for beef and some of the nation's largest meat suppliers are closing their doors in the midst of this pandemic. there is a very stark warning from the chairman of tyson foods, the company employs more than 100,000 people, it has been adapting to the pandemic, but now tyson's chair says "the food supply chain is breaking." in an open letter published in newsletters across the country the chair rights "as pork, jeez, and chicken plans are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain. as a result, they will be limited supply of our product available in grocery stores until we are able to fully reopen our facilities that are currently closed." tyson says there is also a serious food waste issue. farmers may be forced to "depopulate" millions of animals because of closed facilities. still, tyson says it has faith we will get through this. purdue university agricultural economist says the latest numbers from the weekend indicate pork processing is now down about 20% compared to this time last year. beef is down 25%-30%, but there is some good news. pork prices actually remain a bit lower than this time last year. but be full sale prices are about as high as we have seen in recent history. dana. >> dana: matt finn, an important story, thank you so much. and president trump flip-flopping over the future of his coronavirus briefings. it was off, it was on, howie kurtz will break it down next. during trying times. today, being on your side means staying home...

most of them, she did not mention the allegation against biden by a former staffer who says he sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s. fox news correspondent peter doocy is live in arlington, virginia, with more on this. peter. >> dana, it's been three and a half weeks now since the last time joe biden took questions at a virtual press conference from the group of reporters who would be covering him if he was hosting campaign events. so, between that gap and one-on-one interviews he is done in the last three and a half weeks, he has not yet personally addressed the allegations of a former staffer named thora reed who is now confirming to us that this is her mother's voice looking for help in 1993 by calling into the larry king show about a very sensitive complain. >> i'm wondering what the staffer would do besides go to the press in washington. my daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could've done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him. >> and so far we don't know what other high-profile democrats who have supported joe biden's campaign already think about this. nancy pelosi was not deterred, she did finally endorse biden today. several weeks after bernie sanders suspended his campaign. dana. >> dana: all right, peter doocy, thank you so much for that update. we will be talking more about this on "the five" tonight. the white house says president trump will brief the nation in just a few hours to discuss how the federal government will help states ramp up testing. this after two days passed with no coronavirus task force briefing. the president was facing lots of backlash over some of his comments at the daily briefing, but he tweeted this "what is the purpose of having white house news conferences when the lame stream media asks nothing but hostile questions and then refuses to report the truth or fact accurately. they get record readings and the american people get nothing but fake news. not worth the time and effort." joining me now is howie kurtz fox news media analyst, so they are going to have this press briefing today. they have news to announce tod today, specifically on testing. i think that, howie, it makes some sense to pave it a bit as the nation goes from the immediate health crisis to thinking about thinking about the economy, but tell me how you see it. >> part of what's going on is president trump relish these briefings, bragged about the bachelor level ratings, and sometimes they would drag on for as long as two hours, even his own republican allies were telling him they were hurting him. but now, in the wake of that cleanup of the disinfectant mass, he did the tweet you just said. he seems disenchanted with the briefings, he's blaming what he calls nothing but hostile questions from the press. i would argue that some of these questions are perfectly legitimate about how he's handled the crisis. there some grandstanding in that room as you know. this is why i think he's lang the groundwork for maybe not doing them every day or not having them last quite as long. >> dana: right, maybe others like the vice president who's in charge of the task force, the chairman of that task force will do them. we will see. the other thing i wanted to ask you about is within the paycheck protection program, you know, there's a lot of newspapers out there that are hurting, they are a business just like any other. if your restaurant and you're not open, you're probably not advertising. but i wanted to ask you about this, axios is one of the news publications that has received loans, this is from their organization saying that we have taken a financial hit, like other small businesses, our physical event business is gone until the crisis subsides. to some ad buyers are pulling back to measure the economic fallout. they media, broadly speaking, is getting crushed by the economic fallout. this loan ensures we can avoid layoffs and pay cuts for almost 200 person staff for the rest of the year regardless of how the overall economy deteriorates. and, how we, you work in this news business, tell me how you feel about the paycheck protection program going to these organizations. >> well, the idea is to save jobs, i can't sit here and argue that axios should be excluded, along with some other newspapers that have taken these federal loans just because they are in the media business. but at the same time, axios has a some very wealthy backers including comcast parent company of nbc including steve jobs' widow, so you wonder whether or not being a high-profile news organization maybe had connection to get loans where a mom-and-pop store, the hardware store, the diner on main street was shut out, at least of the first round of the paycheck protection now. so it's kind of a mixed bag. but i also don't think you can just say well, no media companies, because they have employees too, should be able to participate. >> dana: right. certainly we know across the country local news, really local news, they're having trouble. howie kurtz, thank you, always a pleasure to have you on the show. and up next, the battle over bailing out states, struggling through the pandemic. plus, former nfl player joins us to chat about navigating parenthood during

financial help to states that are struggling during the coronavirus outbreak. that, as lawmakers float the idea of a fourth round of stimulus. the president tweeting this "why should the people and taxpayers of america be bailing out poorly run states like illinois as example and cities, and all cases democrat run unmanaged when most of the other states are not looking for a bailout help. i am open to discussing anything, but just asking?" let's bring in our panel so we can ask them. robert roth, fox news contributor and former economic advisor and steve moore, member of president trump's task force and reopening the economy. robert, ain't let start with you, the huge flash point on this, what do you think is legitimate for governors to ask for from the federal government at this point? >> so, thanks for having me. hi, steve. let me just start with one, it's not a blue state bailout. first of all, states can't declare bankruptcy, it's unconstitutional. number two, if you look at the top ten states that are been most impacted by jobless claims, seven of the top ten happen to be red and purple states. number three, the person who is asking for this as a republican governor, larry hogan, head of the national governors association, and senator kennedy of louisiana. so the idea that this is a blue state thing is great red meat, but we just know it's not factual. and we have to protect the first responders, the police, and we have to make sure that these people who are protecting us dana, and steve, are not going to be unemployed. this is not a bailout, this is just complete b.s., it's a relief package that we're giving to a lot more people less in need then these in-service people who are helping. >> dana: okay, let me get stephen here, steve, i know you covered the stuff for a long time. the federal government does have a central bank, the ability to borrow, and the fed has already said it would help finance a some of the debt, so is there a way to help the states surgically that wouldn't be a complete bailout? >> well, hi dana, hi robert. look, i have a very different perspective on this. first of all, the federal government can only give money to states if it takes money from states in the first place. there's this kind of fiction going on somehow that there is a some kind of magic golden pot of money that the federal government can give the states, but it can only give the money to states when it takes them from them in the first place. and look, the states that want the most money, notwithstanding what robert was saying our connecticut, illinois, new jersey, california, those are the big blue states. i've been warning for years, dana, that these states have a huge spending problem. my goodness, if you look at how much money new york spends. new york, for a person, dana, spends twice as much on state and local government as tennessee does, or utah does, and tennessee and utah have better government services the new york does. so why in the world should people in utah or tennessee have to bailout the people in states like new york, and connecticut, new jersey, it just isn't fair, it's not good federalism policy, if new york and connecticut want to spend a lot of money and have massive pension problems, which they do, why in the world should people in other states have to bail them out? i just don't understand the logic. >> dana: talk to me about that, in terms of the pensions. >> let me just reply. this has nothing to do with pension obligations. that's just not factual. number two, i love how steve talks about state and local, but actually, new york is in that giver to the federal government. kentucky and these other red states actually are net payers. for someone who is a physical hawk, it's amazing that he's not looking at what states actually give to the federal government versus those who take, and i think the interesting thing that steve said -- >> dana: let's give them a chance to answer that. >> look, robert and i are friends, we just disagree on this, because in my opinion, what are the poor states, robert? states like alabama, states like mississippi, you know, some of those southern states and mountain states, and new york and california, and new jersey and connecticut are the richest estates, so what you have here is a robin hood reverse. you're going to take money from poor states and people in poor states and give it to rich people in manhattan. again, i just don't understand the logic. >> steve, but the truth is -- >> dana: give you the last word, robert. >> steve, you should read with the smart act is, because that's just not accurate. >> but by the way, illinois doesn't want a bailout of their pension plan. >> we should not allow that, that should not be allowed. >> we agree on that. >> dana: outlook, we had agreements, agreements and the deep lot, i love it. thanks so much. bye. now, recently i took part in the comeback from covid-19 challenge. i was stocking shelves and bay had new jersey, then we brought dinner to the e.r. nurses at hackensack medical center in jersey shore, then i nominated former nfl center and father of six to scott wells to do the challenge, and he did, tweeting "love giving back to these great people today for the #combatcovid-19challenge, was able to support our local small businesses and show some appreciation for local first responders. thank you dana perino." scott joined me now, i'm sure they love getting that barbecue. scott, it's a real pleasure to have you today. there is so much i want to ask you. you are a father of six, i don't know exactly the age range, younger ones, teenagers, is there anything you learned in the nfl that has prepared you for dealing with six kids at home during a pandemic? >> well, that's a great questi question. well, training camp is a lot like being quarantined. it's about the closest thing, and being a veteran player, you're dealing with younger players, towards the end of my career, there was an 11 year gap between the rookies and myself. so there's a little bit of take away, but i don't think there's a whole lot that will prepare you for a half-dozen children at home, and the ages that you mentioned they are, 10-16. so we have a handful doing elementary school distance learning, a couple during middle school distance learning, and one during high school distance learning. so there's a little bit of take away as far as training camp. you're isolated, you kind of have limited interactions with the outside world for those few weeks. but this is going on a lot longer than training camp was. >> dana: and one of your sons, i think the oldest one is very good at painting tennis shoes. i think we have a picture of that. i mean, is it just coming up with ways to keep them busy? >> there is a lot of that. fortunately for us, having three all around the 10-year old range, they play with each other, three boys of that age, and the 16-year-old definitely is the artistic one. he is definitely finding opportunities to fine-tune his skills. he has developed a pretty good following on tick-tock and has apt surely shipped some shoes across the southeast to people who have found him online and bought those. so this is a great opportunity to dive into those types of hobbies and dispensing time doing those things. >> dana: well, i know you're enjoying time with your family, you're a teacher, you made your students look at the care is act and decide if they would have given the money in that way. i did have to ask you, the antiphon draft, it got huge ratings, everybody was paying attention, and there is a new quarterback, jordan love a for the packers, you played for the packers, i do think that's going to go down up there in wiscons wisconsin? >> it was a surprising pick for me to see, definitely knowing aaron, playing with aron, actually being in green bay when they drafted aaron. a lot of similarities between how that played out with brett and the draft this year with aron, similar age. the difference i saw was brett kept flirting with retiring at that point, which i think motivated the packers to look for another quarterback, so i was a little surprised. aaron is a competitor, outstanding quarterback, there is no argument there. i think he's going to use this and kind of come out and played a higher level this year, if that's possible. he's been playing at an extremely high-level already. and, from the rookies perspective, this is a great opportunity to come in and learn from one of the nfl's greats. >> dana: indeed. well, i'm so glad, scott, that the covid challenge brought us together, i look forward to meeting you in person, and to meeting all of your kids, the six of them. can't wait. thanks. >> thanks for having me on. >> dana:

that had a couple of people wondering whether north korea's dictator was actually dead. greg palkot is in london with more on the story. greg. >> dana, the reports, the rerouting rumors about king john newman keep getting wilder, as you will recall, the last time we saw him was more than two weeks ago in pyongyang. since then reports have kept piling up, he had an operation, he was found over the weekend in a vegetative state. in fact, that he was even dead. i tried to cut through the confusion, reaching out to a key aide to south korea's president. here it is his pretty startling statement which we were the first report. "our government position is firm. kim jong un is alive and well. he's been staying in the long song area since april 13th, no suspicious movement has so far been detected. seeming to back up this belief, satellite photos recently released showing kim's private train was at the wand's on coastal resort around the time they're talking about. while they talked between that trump administration and make kim regime nukes remain very much unfinished. at the very least, dana, this shows how shoddy our intelligence really still is about what is still happening inside the kingdom, a very strategic and dangerous place still. back to you. >> dana: mysterious, greg palkot, thank you. now some news you can use, the government making sure that your credit score won't take a hit due to missed payments because of the coronavirus pandemic. here to explain how they're going to do this is fox business correspondent gerri willis, gerri, i know people really agonize about their credit scores, what does this all mean for them? >> all right, well, the good news is you can put a pause on your credit score while the economy is trying to make its way through this pandemic. the way you do that is if you are having some kind of hardship, some kind of problem, maybe you've lost a job, and you just can't pay your bills, you want to call your creditors and ask for help. ask for forbearance. not necessarily forgiveness, but that you can delay, and you can make a modified loan repayment schedule. the government says through the cares act, if you do that, they can't cut your credit score. >> dana: and those about 830,000 -- i'm sorry, $830 trillion of credit card debt out there. how sumo people, if they want to get ahead of this, should they start calling now? because this is going to back up if everybody's asking the credit card companies at the same time. >> absolutely, right. so the key to getting this done and getting it done right is you have to call before you miss a payment. you can't set up some kind of plan after you've already defaulted, right? so call ahead of time, tell your lender what the problem is, remember, credit card companies out there, they are looking at millions of americans defaulting on credit card debt, they're trying to do everything they can to keep themselves safe. a dog and you for an extra 100 bucks a month, or 250 bucks a month, that cost them a lot of money. they would rather negotiate and put a plan in place. once you do that, they can't cut your credit score. >> dana: right, hopefully people will be getting back to work soon. i think i said $830 trillion, it's $830 billion, $830 trillion would be a whole lot of money, we would probably have another segment we would have to talk about. alall right, a new survey shows just how bad the coronavirus is affecting new yorkers and the epicenter of the covid-19 pandemic, we will have a live report next. refinance when mortgage rates drop. and they just dropped to the lowest in newday's history. refinance now. there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2,000 a year. refi now. in these challenging times, we need each other more than ever. we may be apart, but we're not alone. use aarp community connections to find or create a mutual aid group near you. stay connected and help those in need. >> dana: a salute from above to u.s. navy blue angels and air force thunderbirds will fly over the new york and philadelphia areas tomorrow honoring corona frontline responders. one flight will start at the george washington bridge and make its way around new york city, northern new jersey, and long island. the other will make its way through philly, south jersey, and delaware. that will be something to see. now, we all know how the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged new york city. and more evidence comes from the new siena college poll which those that nearly half of city residents say they do know someone who hasn't died of a covid-19. aishah hasnie is live in new york with more on this. aisha. >> dana, some prizing news coming out of this poll. so 51% of new york state residents personally know someone who has tested positive. that's a big jump from just four weeks ago. then take a look at this, 1 of 3 state residents know someone who has died from the virus. more shocking now, nearly half of new york city know someone who has died with a population of nearly 8.4 million, we are talking about for a million people who have been impacted by this. now, the poll also finds that 1 of 3 state residents lived in a household where someone has been laid off. now, this paints a very gloomy picture, but people here are hopeful. >> 65% of new yorkers say that the state is on the right track. in 15 years of asking that question, that 65% saying that were on the right track is the best it has ever been. >> and, dana, 77% of new york state residents be the governor here favorably. he hasn't seen numbers like that since he took the job in 2011. dana. >> dana: i know, it has been a long time. aisha, thank you. the governor of ohio has just announced the state will begin reopening on friday. starting with nonessential medical surgeries, that's as long as they don't require an overnight stay. now that governor joins a handful of other governors who have said doctors can start performing those procedures again. and let's bring in dr. nicole saphier, fox news medical contributor and author of the book "make america healthy again" and be sure to pick that up, a lot of helpful information in there. so dr. safire, i think people might not understand elective surgery doesn't mean it's something you want to go have done, these are important things that your doctor has said needs to happen in your life. tell me a little bit more about that. >> that's right, dana, thanks for having me on. this has been a point of contention for me and health care providers all throughout the country for the last month. we've seen about 30 governors issue executive orders halting all of these "elective procedures," but the truth is that is a wastebasket turn because when you say the word "elective procedure" you may think that means a cosmetic surgery, something along those lines, but under that umbrella term has also been cancer surgery, and other surgeries that are not really elective, even brain aneurysm embolization's, or other stuff such as that. so we have been delaying care for certain patients in an effort to make sure that we have enough hospital beds, icu beds, ventilators, as well as ppe for our covid patients. however, it's important that we take care of all patients and not just covid patients. >> dana: and i know, obviousl obviously, with all of your work that you've done on cancer, that's really important to you in terms of the screenings on the checkups and making sure you are going regularly. what you think it's going to be like, how should consumers figure out how to get an appointment because that one, they may be concerned, but also, there is going to be a backlog, and these doctors can work around the clock, so i'm sure they will probably try to be flexible. >> while, dana, that's a great question. and the truth is, we are seeing optimistic numbers that we have flattened the curve, worsening decreased hospitalizations. now is the time that we have to start getting back to business as usual in the sense we have to make sure that we are doing on cancer screening, because early detection does save lives. and i was actually today working on the society of breath imaging through the american college of radiology saying how are we going to get back to that, and how are we going to keep not only our staff safe, but our patients safe. and so all of our colleges are coming out with their recommendations. the truth is, there will be some changes when you go, but you still want to make sure that you are getting your preventative medicine care because at the end of the day, it's not just about covid-19, there are many other things that are preventable, and many of those things, through early detection can save lives. so you just call your individual doctor, your hospital system, make sure they are taking the preventative measures to keep everybody safe, but i'm sure that they will be, going forward. >> dana: may be a last question to you about how important it is for parents to be looking at vaccinations, and even if you're an adult, there are vaccinations that you need to get to prevent getting out with something else. >> well, that's right. as we go into the summer, we tend to see decreased viral infection throughout the summer. but flu season does start again in august, and as you know, there have been warnings that we are still going to be have a circulating novel coronavirus during the next flu season, so it is imperative, since we do not have a vaccine for coronavirus, nor do we have an effective treatment, we have to make sure that we keep as many of our flu cases down as possible. one way of doing that is the flu vaccine as well as the pneumonia vaccine for older adults. >> dana: all right. i will take that advice to heart, dr. nicole saphier, thank you. and thank you for joining us, everyone, i'm dana perino, i will see one story time, 3:30 p.m. eastern today, streams live on foxnews.com, facebook, and youtube. then i will be on "the five" later on, force that will be fun. here's bill hemmer. >> bill: dana, thank you, on a monday afternoon, good afternoon, i'm bill hemmer, more states across the country slowly reopening today as coronavirus cases and deaths continue to climb in the u.s. here is where we stand, 3:00 east coast time. restaurants and movie theaters are allowed to reopen in the state of georgia with the new social distancing guidelines. restaurants in tennessee also opening their doors with reduced seating for diners inside. in minnesota, thousands of workers can go back to work, also with new safety guidelines in that state. moments ago, the governor of ohio just announcing offices can reopen a week from today, but
