We're gonna have to wrap up the bar for the foreseeable future.

An avalanche of school closures blanketing 24 states, followed by Maurin Subsequent days.

That same day, President Trump released new guidelines avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people and in the San Francisco Bay Area.

These new orders direct all individuals to shelter at their place of residence.

The front line, you know, 10,000 customers a week.

But across the country this week, a very different reality on some of the nation's beaches, videos like the's stirring outrage with spring break seemingly in full swing.

It's up, but we're gonna make the best way enjoying myself.

We're seeing now potentially medically reckless behavior on the part of a lot of people who just thought well, in this pocket of the country, I can still go party, go to the beach on Dhe.

Everyone else can can social distance, and that's just not responsible in Texas.

Just yesterday, the beaches look like this now desolate the governor declaring a public health emergency, issuing locked down orders.

There's almost no one out in a boat or anything for college.

What started as a fun trip with friends has become one full of uncertainty.

We were just at a bar, a club two days ago with hundreds of people and, like we're supposed to go home and potentially give this to our parents or our families or whoever.

Right now, I really don't know what we're supposed to do.

And we just hope that we can stay safe and get over all this together and in Miami, a different tone as the city closed beaches and parks the state's governor with this on Fox News.

The message, I think for spring breakers is at the party's over in Florida.

We can always look back and say that wasn't necessary or we did too much, but we don't want to be in the other position of saying we should have done more, and we're now being joined by Seema Verma.

She heads the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and is a member of President Trump's Corona Virus Task Force.

Well, seem I want to start by going back to those alarming images we're seeing.

Triage tents set up in Seattle calls for the Army Corps of Engineers to help build emergency hospitals.

Is our nation fully prepared to take care of the sick?

One of the things that we've been doing is making sure that the health care system is repaired.

And that's why the president's emergency declaration that he made last week was so critical for health care system.

It gives them a lot more flexibility on the front lines in the hospitals, getting rid of rules and regulations that stand in the way of doctors being able to treat their patients.

Today, President Trump was once again optimistic that we have enough respirators on hand, having tapped into the military reserve.

But Governor Cuomo of New York said that New York only has about 5000 ventilators and that the state would require more like 30,000.

Are you confident that the health care professionals will have the equipment they need?

Well, there's efforts going on across the board to increase the supply of ventilators.

We heard from the Department of Defense yesterday that they're donating their respirators.

There was an important step that we took yesterday around asking the entire medical system to suspend elective surgeries and medical procedures.

And this is really important because the surgery centers that we have all across America, they actually have ventilators.

And then, secondarily, the president has also said, We're going to we're gonna buy more ventilators and we're talking to manufacturers about how they can increase the supply and production of ventilators.

C'mon, tell us about why some cities like San Francisco, are sheltering in place.

And yet other places we see spring breakers still gathering at beaches and bars.

How do you get the message to everyone to take this seriously?

Well, I think we have to look around to see what's happened in other countries and the incredible strain that it's put on their health care system.

It really does take every single American playing their part.

We called for 15 days of social distancing.

Well, I think the important thing is we're gonna have to take this one day at a time, right?

So we know right now with the data that we had that these types of mitigation strategies 15 days to slow the spread, all of the advice.

And there is the best thing that we can do at this time.

But we're gonna have to reevaluate at every turn we don't want to turn into in Italy.

And I think what the data shows us is that Italy took a long time to react under the president's leadership.

He took very strong, decisive early action, you know, to put travel restrictions in place, and that's had an impact on in terms of the numbers.

And today, West President Pence announced the tens of thousands of tests are being performed every day, and yet we're still seeing those long lines of cars in Texas and elsewhere, hearing from people with symptoms who are still having trouble getting a test.

Think to see an increase in the number of tests.

I think we've activated the private market.

And every day we're seeing the number of tests go up.
