eventually the cdc lost and the cdc won. those 328 americans got on the plane, including the 14 who had tested positive for the virus. the state department overruled this explicit direction from the scientists at the cdc. it led to a stunning rebuke from those scientists. quote, as the state department drafted its news release, the cdc's top officials insisted that any mention of the agency, any mention of the cdc be removed. quote, cdc did weigh in on this and explicitly recommended against it, wrote the cdc's principal deputy director at her agency. quote, we should not be mentioned as having been consulted as it begs the question of what was our advice. and it's hard not to see the logic in that, right? you would not want the cdc associated with the response that u.s. officials were just improvising as they went along, and that the cdc explicitly believed posed a high risk to the americans on board that plane. >>> well, it has been about a week since that debacle. we still do not have clarity about where the infected amer

cdc public health approach. for the pandemic influenza portal is to keep america safe and this new virus into the united states. our response involves multilayered aggressive containment and potential mitigation measures. they prove these including early diagnosis and contact tracing. these public health interventions also include targeted restrictions as well as the use of quarantined for individuals returning from transmission hospitals such as china and the diamond princess cruise ship adopted in japan. internationally the cdc is working with the world health organization and ministries of hope across the globe to continue to combat this outbreak. the cdc has deployed over 600 staff to the response including staff supporting japan, south korea and the country office in china. this outbreak underscores the national leadership role on the global scale and at strengthening the global capacity to stop disease threats at the source before they spread. with this outbreak when it was first recorded in september, chi

the cdc has had now over a 30-year working relationship with china's cdc. there's a reason they call it china cdc. and i actually have a u.s. cdc component that's affiliated with the embassy but is attached to the china cdc. the chair -- the head of cdc china and i have been in regular discussions since the very beginning when this happened on new year's eve. and had very open scientific discussions about what he knew at the time, what he was learning, so we could use that information. and that continues bidirectionally, as i say. from the -- at the beginning, there was not a thought that there was human-to-human transmission. they saw that in the first week they didn't see any, in the second week. remember, they were using, you know, a definition of whether people were severely ill, the n weren't realizing this could be mildly symptomatic. since then, there's obviously been an extensive hospital-based transmission. one series that was published in one of our journals, "jama," recel recently, showed 40% of cases were infected because they were health care w

li look at avis a the cdc is about to give an update on those passengers. we will bring that to you when it begins. >>> two planes landed at the base early this morning with 350 u.s. citizens from wuhan, chinao symptoms before boarding but some of them will still be kept in quarantine for up to 14 days . >> one of the planes refueled and took its passengers to miramar in san diego county. they are subject to a 14 day quarantine and this is a look at the space in miramar where the citizens are being temporarily housed during the stay at the base travelers will be provided food, water, and other items and that we would go to that live news conference. >> thank you for joining us today. my name is dr. henry and i am heading up the local team for the centers for disease control and prevention we are responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of the people at the department of state is returning from wuhan, china, as well as ensuring precautions are followed . the evacuees will be temporarily staying at the travis air force base during the remainder of t

from the cdc on what you can do at home. breaking tonight, there has been another mass shooting for this one in milwaukee for the mayor is confirming multiple fatalities there at the molson coors brewing facility. >> the milwaukee mayor says there was a horrific shooting at the molson coors campus, multiple people are dead. right now, the mayor is not confirming the total number of victims. the mayor saying it's too fluid of the c&p milwaukee police not confirming the total number of victims. within the past 45 minutes, the most coors twitter account tweeted there is an active situation at his milwaukee facility and it's working closely with the milwaukee polie department. it'll provide updates when it's able to. there are armored vehicles and tactical units, but it appears there is not a current threat, at least outside of the building. the fbi and atf are assisting. the last check with the milwaukee medical examiner's office, it also does not have any information on the amount of victims. we do expect a press department at

division at cdc by the trump administration. in 2018, cdc was forced to reduce the numbers of countries that operated in 49. that's how bad it is. we have crises, we'v have a world that's different. and this administration, instead of stepping up to the plate runs away listening to the far righteous cut, cut, cut, cut. no matter how it affects people. in 2018, even worse, president trump ordered the national security council to scuffle its entire global health security unit. and as the department of homeland security to do the same. we don't have t epidemic teams, and the national security council or dhs. i hope, and pray to god corona does not spread to hear. but if it does, we are en because of president trump's lack of leadership, lack of understanding science, lack of ability to listen to experts and do something about them instead of being concerned, it seems all the time with his own ego. the president has not even taken the simple, sensible step of designating a single official to lead response efforts. in 2014, president

you heard from the cdc did on the basis... [inaudible] clinic state and other local health comics around the count country. >> dana: obviously lost the connection there. some technical difficulties. the bottom line is the health and human services department are saying that the risk to americans is still low. this is the same of last week. it hasn't changed. they expect they might see additional people in the united states that contracted, two have contracted it in the united states that had not travel to china. let's bring fox news correspondent jonathan serrie live in atlanta with more. jonathan, i think you were listening to that as well. what did you think the news was? >> they were talking about the two cases of human to human transmission within the u.s. one of those cases occurred in illinois. there was a woman who came back from travel in china, apparently infected with the coronavirus there. came back. her husband then developed symptoms. both hospitalized. fox news has now confirmed that both have been released from

now, as per the 83 people involuntary isolation, they got their names from the cdc and the d to cdc monitored and also notable here is those 83 people either came in contact with someone who may have been exposed to the virus where they had been in the areas affected in mainland china live. right now, not a single case confirmed, reported in nassau county, but testing. >> dana: thank you so much, david lee, fox news alert, new york city mayor de blasio beaking about the coronavirus after 83 people being monitored. let's listen end. >> that is a substantial capacity what we see play out even in some of the countries that are dealing with this crisis in a much deeper manner. already, the public health officials have distributed 1.5 million mask in the city of new york. that is a very good start, but we need more. we have requests out for additional minimum of 300,000 surgical masks. it is a guarantee they will arrive in new york state and we will need federal system. i'm calling on the federal government to help us and all other localities to get the masks we need working with the private secto

to this day -- >> martha: what's the cdc telling you on that? >> what the cdc said was that they would allow californians facilities to test for this, but they've never completed that process. to this day, not more than 20 miles from vacaville, there are two laboratories run by the state of california that are perfectly capable of testing, but the cdc has not allowed it, nor has the cdc allowed the production of test kits. korea immediately got on this. there health system produced immediately testing mechanisms. they have a company in korea today that can train at one test kits a day. >> martha: sounds like something we need. >> absolutely. >> martha: here is what the president just said how he understood it being handled late today at the white house. watch this. >> when it comes to talking about pandemics or whatever you may want to call it, you got to get away from politics. all these people? you can't go out and just say it's terrible, it's terrible. we are doing incredibly. 15 people out of billions of people! 15 people and they are gettin

they have to go through the cdc and the cdc says she doesn't fit description. she hasn't traveled to china or been on the travel list an as a result we're not going to give you the tests and so it put these health workers and this hospital in a position of not being able to really get out in front of this and as a result four days went by. multiple that by multiple hospitals and cases throughout in the community, the cdc doesn't know about and we have a real problem here, ali. >> stand by. i want to talk about this new case that jake covering led to new worries about the spread of coronavirus and still plenty of questions aability the disease itself so i want to take a closer look at what jake is describing and dealing with. coronavirus is a large family of viruses. it looks like a crown looking at it. it affects the respiratory season. covid-19 causing the concern right now one of seven coronavirus known to infect humans. most infect animals, bats, cats, birds. no one knows where this particular virus came from. now, the cdc said symptoms can be fever, cough a

in september 2014 the cdc actually put out a report that really spoke to the cdc's own data. it said that within a year there would be up to 1.4 million cases of ebola in west africa. now, obviously this caused a bit of consternation. the cdc felt it needed to step out and in doing so it provided an opportunity to speak to how the entire whole of government response would staunch this epidemic, how we could fight it at its source, how we could prevent that 1.4 million number from coming to fruition. on the one hand we have donald trump essentially doing an hbo dock docudrama "chernobyl," and eventually that debt is paid and we've seen this president lie about the weather, about our lethal operations overseas and now we're seeing that debt being paid when it comes to something as profoundly important as coronavirus and public health. >> dr. mccarthy, what would you recommend to congressman garamendi and more importantly the people living in his district in and around vacaville where this infection occurred? what should their daily behavior be now in that kind of small city the

but there are no deaths reported here a reporter arches she said ray goes inside the cdc for an exclusive look at how they're managing to respond to this disease. >>inside the cdc's emergency operations center medical response teams are tracking trends and monitoring the coronavirus we've learned everything we know since early january raise we entered into 2020. we're talking about a brand new disease of unknown etiology common signs of the corona virus arefever cough and breathing problems and we know that the otr coronaviruses are primarily spread through respiratory droplets. the cdc says around 600 people are in quarantine acro the us, most of them are state employees who recently returned from china where the cases in the united states have mostly been in travelers who are returning from who've a province in central ina. there been 2 instances of transmission the ited states that have been to household contacts of people who returned from wuhan. >>and develop symptoms. the cdc is deployed around 800 people across the us, the airports and federal quaranne stations to manage the outbre

he countered evidence coming from the cdc or some response from the cdc. that's not putting people in a confident mood to go out, keep spending money which is what the economy needs. >> i would just mention, you want to compare to ebola, remember how ebola spread through bodily fluids. coronavirus, this is coughing, sneezing. we in new york have thousands of people come from milan in the last two weeks from fashion week. that's a real impact, people here are saying i'm concerned. >> saw a chart somewhere about the number of people coming in from china, number one destination, united states. stephanie ruhle, thank you so much. >>> coming up, the democratic candidates are gearing up for the last test before super tuesday. will south carolina save joe biden? >>> first, the unnerving report it is possible to catch coronavirus twice. what you can do to make your home and business coronavirus proof to whatever extent you can, next on msnbc live. to be honest a little dust it never bothered me. until i found out what it actually was. dust mite droppings! eeeeeww!

cdc by nearly 700 million just as cdc is combating opioids, vaping, we could use a whole hearing again on just the youth vaping issue. i've never seen anything expand in all our public schools even down to sixth grade. one of the worst flu seasons in decades and the coronavirus. cut nih by 3 billion jeopardizing life-saving medical research and eliminate preschool development grants which would fill important progress states to build strong early education systems. in addition, the irresponsible proposal to eliminate teen pregnancy prevention while assaulting medicaid and attacking the foundation of title 10 family planning with domestic gag rule is a dangerous combination that will leave many women without access to quality care, result in more unplanned pregnancies. this is an assault on women's health and the rights of women and their doctors, and i was dismayed -- actually shocked with the elimination of the federal funding we included inphysial year 2020 spending bill in first time in decades, gun violence prevention research. i want to say that, again, i'm aware that you have sup

whether it is in the cdc, or than the national security council free cdc has a couple of years ago, people in 49 states. sorry, cdc had people in 49 countries. those were the frontlines to prevent this from coming here. now there are only ten. the administration is an adequate and all the ways they have cut healthcare, recess now. they're a million people who do not have coverage. they're not going to get tested. when junk plans, do not cover testing which most of them don't, people are not going to get tested in the coronavirus spreads. so we need this administration to put together a comprehensive plan. we need certainly adequate funding, we need to reimburse the state from localities for the funding that they have put out. we need one person in charge. not a right wing who has no express in healthcare and no experience in merging diverse points of view. we need a professional. someone knows how diseases spread and who can unite the agencies. i would simply say again, but the administration is incompetent, is dangerous right now. they've got to get their act together for the safety and t

we increased the budget of the cdc. we increased the nia budget. >> infectious decides like coronavirus requiring international cooperation, we have to work and expand the world health organization. obviously we have to make sure the cdc, the nih our infectious diseases are fully funded. >> issues like global health security and the coronavirus that rely on the ability to listen to scientists -- >> time -- >> listen to your own intelligence and coordinate with an international community that this president has alienated because his idea of a security strategy is a big wall. >> joining me now, jake sherman, adrian ellerod, michael star-hopki star-hopkins. jake only three days left until the south carolina primary. one of the questions that a lot of people had after the debate was was that it or is there something else that could happen between now and then that might be able to change the equation? win or take away some votes? i wonder if coronavirus is it, if we're going to be hearing a lot about it from the candidates

can we restore the cdc, please. i am calling you to ask the president to restore the cdc. host: restore the funding for the cdc. guest: you are right, we have seen a halloween -- hollowing out of the agencies that are supposed to protect us in terms of cuts and funding and the amount of money that has been designated now for the coronavirus, $2.5 million, most of the health care experts think that is too little and half $1 billion was -- half $1 billion was taken out of the ebola fund and there are still ebola outbreaks. we are putting ourselves at risk again. this is a national security issue as much as war, defending us through the military and we have to make sure we are cutting back on health care that protects us. i agree with you 100%. host: james in liverpool, new york. a democratic caller. caller: mi on? -- am i on? host: yes, you are. caller: i think the travel ban was a good idea. it helped prevent what could have been worse. contactts have phone over there with people in wuhan and even those people do not believe whatever numbers the president -- the government

cdc. tor administration seeks slash funding. out funding for gun violence research. are you aware secretary, are you aware the budget contains a proposal that would allow states that impose an asset tax on pregnant women i medicaid, pages 112 to 113 of the hhs budget and brief? sec. azar: i want to look at that and get back to you, i'm not aware of that particular provision. we do have the proposal similar to what you mentioned for medicaid that would allow states an option to cover pregnant women for one year after birth if they're suffering from substance abuse disorder, so that's another part of the maternal mortality initiative. >> that proposal would cut medicaid funding by $2.2 billion. that would cause a lot of people, including pregnant women, to lose their medicaid coverage. sec. azar: that's a spending provision, the one i just mentioned would actually expand, right now they can only get 60 days coverage postpartum, this would allow that coverage for up to a year as a state optio

this all comes after the cdc warned americans to be prepared here at home. that it's not a matter of if, but when. tonight, there are now more new cases being reported outside china than inside china for the first time. the virus spreading across the globe, including at least 60 cases right here in the u.s. and at least eight states. spreading quickly across europe tonight. at least 13 european countries and in italy alone now you at least 440 people now infected. the death toll, at least 12. and the first u.s. service member has now been diagnosed at a military base in south korea. while here at home tonight, the cdc is now investigating reports a flight attendant has now been diagnosed with the virus. she had flown into and out of l.a.x. airport in los angeles. in fact, the mayor there tonight saying they are trying to disinfect the airport. and so, we begin with abc's steve osunsami outside the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: they're working overtime tonight in los angeles at l.a.x., disinfecting the airport, to help prevent any possible spread of the corona

at least proposed cuts to the cdc. is the market going do get skittish with that is that a sign that president trump will have more of a problem with the re-election going forward and will the markets respond in kind? we have seen with the market the last few days but if democrats keep bringing up what he proposed to make cuts to the cdc, millions of dollars in proposals, certain pieces of it, that could be a problem for him with this re-elect and the timing of this for donald trump is not good. in terms of re-election. not because -- the candidates go on the stump or create ads like bloomberg is doing and hit him for this over and over again bringing up those points i just made. >> quick question since you're here, brian. we know elizabeth warren after the las vegas debate did a lot of fundraising, maybe helped her position where are we other than mike bloomberg to have the money to throw into the campaign ads or attacks against the president? >> that's the question, right? are they going to have the resources to real

the cdc was overruled by the state department so here's my question. you are the chairman of the president's task force on the novel coronavirus . are you in charge? >> i am in charge but in japan the chief of mission, he made the decision has full authority of the president of the united states in any foreign country. >> that's the problem. i'll tell you why that's the problem. because you are the head of the panel to the health experts are saying you shouldn't be flying these people back in and then there's another agency that basically overruled what you said. if you have an outbreak in the united states, there are a number of other agencies that are going to have, that are going to haveother interests and i'll give you a couple of examples . state department which wejust dealt with, hhs is you, the state public health department , various other agencies. who is in charge of the final verdict? is it you? >> it depends on the circumstances. >> that's not what worked in a pandemic. >> ambassador of the presidentis the final word . >> what happened is

the number two person at the cdc, silenced. i think that adds to the public suspicion and fear, when you add to that, we have a reputation for lying and trust what he's saying and we can't hear from the leading experts. >> it's not about cases for us, all right? we have 64. we'll wind up having a lot more than that, so what. and the lethality of this. right now they think it is influenza. they don't know how many are cases where people got better. we don't know that reality. the testing reality we do know. vaughn, put up the graphic. cdc has done 459 tests. some of the kids were flawed. they should have done it. look how many cases have been confirmed with testing. that's why you don't see the u.k. dealing with at this time way we are with the fear of the unknown. something else that's important. ron. starting to see the beam the masks even though you tell us it is only effective if you have the virus. >> you said something that i haven't heard yet that i will put on the category. wash your hand, cough into your elbow, stay sic

cdc officials went so far as to insist then that the cdc wouldn't have its name as an agency mentioned at all in any of the press materials discussing the u.s. government's decision here because they didn't want to make it seem like the cdc had signed off on what they believed was a terrible and unsafe plan. they explicitly objected to it. well now "the washington post," "new york times," "wall street journal" have all reported on a whistle-blower complaint filed by an employee at the department of health and human services. and it is a whistle-blower complaint that shines a fairly terrifying light on how exactly the department of health and human services, under trump cabinet secretary alex azar, how they decided to handle these infected americans being brought back to the u.s. once the trump administration had decided to disregard the cdc's explicit advice about how to handle those 14 infected people. the sta the state department insisted that the cdc was wrong, they knew better how to handle those 14 infected people. so they brought these evacuees to two air force bases. hhs, accord

now, the cdc, this is important because there was somebody here from the cdc. remember, there's been this back and forth between the cdc and the president over how real the chance was of this virus continuing to spread. listen to what the cdc official said. she agreed that the containment strategy is working but she said we expect more cases and the trajectory is very uncertain. she urged americans to get out and to begin to prepare now. so martha, president trump standing by his assertion that his administration has done everything possible to keep americans safe from the spread of the coronavirus and he stuck by the funding request of $2.5 billion. >> kristin fisher at the white house. thank you. joining me now, republican senator john kennedy. he chairs the appropriations subcommittee where alex azar and chad wolf appeared yesterday. senator, good to see you. thank you. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: so you listened to the president. what did you think of what he had to say and do you have any higher confidence level now than during the hearings where you

he tried to cut back on the cdc. >> he has defunded the centers for disease control, cdc. we don't have the organization that we need. >> weat increased the budget of the cdc. we increased the nih budget. if i were president today -- he wiped it all out. we did it. >> laura: oh, joe. actually the funding for the cdc and nih during the trump administration is higher than it was during the obama-biden administration. congress has been kept fully apprised of the crisis with the first briefing held last month when the president called all of this a public health emergency. and he imposed travel restrictions on foreigners coming in from china. >> we should all be working together. she's trying to create a panic. nancy pelosi, she knows it's not true.co all they are trying to do is get a political advantage. this isn't about political advantage. we are all trying to do the right thing. they shouldn't be saying this is terrible. president trump isn't asking for enough money. how stupid a thing to say. >> laura: it's the time for calm, measured pragmatism, not panic and political

cdc should educate everyone responsible. dagen: on the flip side and if they didn't say and cases started popping up unexpectedly which is exactly what happened in italy, all of a sudden seemed like overnight, 11 cities underquarantine and venice carnival got canceled. that's what they are trying to prevent in the quite. maria: before we take a break i want to look at markets because you have serious things happening with the market. $1.7 trillion wiped out in the last two days. can we look at the ten-year for a second because the top story of the journal this morning, the yield of the bench mark 10-year treasury note fell to all-time low amid worries about coronavirus. this is the worry that coronavirus is going to seriously disrupt the global economy, we have rates moving even lower than before, quick broker and then we have dr. poland on the line in the next block, we are staying on the coronavirus concerns, why one american city is under state of emergency coming up. chaos in charlestons last night. we will recap all the

we begin with abc's steve osunsami at the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: u.s. health authorities tonight say there's no doubt we'll see more of this. americans sick with the coronavirus, who need to be kept in isolation. >> the doors are specially sealed. >> reporter: carl goldman is one of 57 americans fighting the disease. >> we are asking the american public to work with us to prepare and the expectation that this could be bad. >> reporter: in their most clear warning yet, the cdc all but promises that the coronvirus will spread here and that americans need to prepare. >> we expect we will see community spread in this country. it's not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness. we really want to prepare the american public for the possibility that their lives will be disrupted because of this pandemic. >> reporter: at a 3m factory in south dakota, where they make masks and respirators that help protect from the disease, they're wo

california officials at the cdc will say whatever they want to say. that is true and pafactual, and the administration is in this really problematic area where they keep saying things that are contradictory. for example, mike pompeo today, and i asked him repeatedly whether he thought the coronavirus was a hoax. a very simple question to answer. he could not answer that, so that sends a message to the american people, maybe it is a hoax, because he couldn't answer that simple question. we can't have top officials continuing to give false and misleading information to the american people. >> i heard you say california, your state, right now they're monitoring about 8,400 people for possible coronavirus. at the same time we've heard from governor newsome that the entire state has only received 200 of these testing kits. can california, or really any state, effectively deal with this threat if they aren't able to test for it? >> no. so that's a huge problem. the person that was identified as having coronavirus from unknown origin in northern california,

the cdc is sending a teamof people here. >>kron four's ashley vala was on hand as governor newsome held that news conferen she joins us now >>pam and ken governor gavin, newsome is not yet ready to declare a state of emergency even as california ramps up its efforts against the coronavirus a virus as of today, 33 people have tested positive for the vus here in california 5 of those patients has have been transported out of stateleaving the rest with california health centers and officials bracing themselves for tt number to rise. >>this is a fluid situation at this me and i want to emphasize that the risk to the general public remains low state leers and health officials trying toputhe public at ease as more cases of coronavirus are confirmed in california the state is now monitoring more than 8,000 people for the virus we are not overreactinbut nor we and are reacting. >>to the derstandable anxiety, many peopl >>one of the latest cases confirmed innorthern california fromanunknown source. health officials say it could be th

in september 2014 the cdc actually put out a report that really spoke to the cdc's own data. it said that within a year there would be up to 1.4 million cases of ebola in west africa. now, obviously this caused a bit of consternation. the cdc felt it needed to step out and in doing so it provided an opportunity to speak to how the entire whole of government response would staunch this epidemic, how we could fight it at its source and prehaven't that 1.4 million number to coming to fruition. on the one hand we have donald trump essentially doing an hbo document of chernobyl and eventually that debt is paid and we've seen this president lie about the weather, about our lethal operations overseas and now we're seeing that debt being paid when it comes to something as profoundly important as coronavirus and public health. >> dr. mccarthy, what would you recommend to congressman garamendi and more importantly the people living in his district in and around vacaville where this infection occurred? what should their daily behavior be now in that small city there? should they be wear

the cdc's been wanting to go in there for some time. i think it's been a huge source of frustration for them. >> you know, this is going to, obviously, be a significant investment. >> reporter: on the same day the cdc confirmed the 15th u.s. coronavirus case, i went inside the agency's emergency operation center with director robert redfield. how good is the infrastructure at reporting in? to give you an idea of how rapidly the situation is changing. by the way, the numbers changed. it's 15 there. it's a lot to keep up with. what is the worst case scenario here in the united states? >> so far we've been able to contain it. but i think this virus is probably with us beyond this season or beyond this year. and i think eventually the virus will find a foothold and we will get community-based transmission. and you can start to think of it in a sense like seasonal flu. the only difference is we don't understand this virus. >> reporter: which is exactly why the cdc wants to be on the ground in china. it's probably redfield's biggest frustrati

he tried to cut back on the cdc. >> he has defunded the centers for disease control, cdc. we don't have the organization that we need. >> increased the budget of the cdc. we increase the nih budget. if i were president today -- he wiped it all out. we did it. >> laura: oh, joe. actually the funding for the cdc and nih during the trump administration is higher than it was during the obama-biden administration. congress has been kept fully apprised of the crisis with the first briefing held last month when the president called all of this a public health emergency. and he imposed travel restrictions on foreigners coming in from china. >> we should all be working together. she's trying to create a panic. nancy pelosi, she knows it's not true. all they are trying to do is get a political advantage. this isn't about political advantage. we are all trying to do the right thing. they shouldn't be saying this is terrible. president trump isn't asking for enough money. how stupid anything to say. >> laura: it's the time for calm, measured pragmatism, not panic and political opportu

, and the cdc did not immediately test. the cdc did not agree to test until about four days later, and then it took about another four days to get those results. so you might ask why? why would they delay it? the reason is because the cdc has been focused on travelers or contacts of travelers. they're getting lots of demands for testing, and this did not fit the criteria, this person hadn't traveled. wasn't in contact with the traveler. this really gets to the heart of the issue which is that there's been just not enough testing available. cdc in atlanta has been doing the testing. that's changing. more labs are coming online now. up until now it's been pretty much cd krrc in atlanta. >> thank you. let me bring in dr. myron cohen, the dreirector of the institute for global health for the university of north carolina at chapel hill. thank you so much for joining me. let's jump back to this concept of community spread, right? the question on so many minds is how could this patient -- how could you get coronavirus if you don't

those test kits could be in california tomorrow if the cdc would allow it. >> reporter: the cdc promising more in the coming days with the virus spreading now to every continent but antarctica. in japan all schools are closed for a month and in south korea there are drive-through testing facilities. back in washington, president trump defending his handling of the situation and maintaining the u.s. is prepared. >> it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle. it will disappear and from our shores it could get worse before it gets better. it could maybe go away. we'll see what happens. nobody really knows. the fact is the greatest experts have spoken. nobody really knows. >> the president really deserves incredible credit because he got on this within days and weeks of learning from china about this and took action that people attacked him for. people attacked him for these actions on controlling our borders and quarantining people but it's kept america safe. it's bought us time. >> reporter: and moving forward, we are told all statements about the virus from the cdc or the health d
