WEBVTT - It Started on a Cruise Ship, Now It's Confirmed in 7 Countries, Including U.S. 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:04.640 Hey, that folks did. It is Tuesday, May twelfth, and 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:09.119 is it freaking anybody else out that they keep telling 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.399 us we shouldn't be freaking out about handa virus? And 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.560 with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.239 We just wanted to hop on and give everybody a 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.880 quick update world. It seems like the thing that everybody 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.400 keeps talking about, wondering about, and yes, even concerned about. 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.840 But the doctors keep telling us there is nothing to 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:26.720 worry about here. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.160 Uh yes, it's interesting. That is what we're hearing from 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:34.280 the World Health Organization, from plenty of the doctors and 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.960 much smarter people that we're listening to who are there 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.319 in Nebraska who are overseeing all those passengers who made 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.559 their way here. But then we have headlines like a 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.680 Harvard health professor telling CNN telling the Today Show anyone 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.720 on that ship is high risk. People are talking about 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.639 a birthday party that happened in twenty eighteen where there 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.920 wasn't close human to human contact like a shared bed. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.560 There was just a birthday party where people were six 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.160 feet of part and it's spread. So look, it's a little, 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.880 it's a lot confusing, and it is scary. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.080 So it's too much, is what it is. Because everybody, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.520 like we said, now going back to something in twenty eighteen, 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.600 or thinking of some story or finding something anywhere around 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.440 the world, and the headlines keep coming, and some of 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.440 them are written actually too scare you. But some of 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.000 this does need to be acknowledged as sincere and real, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.800 giving what we just went through the past five years. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.800 So this morning, I guess, rope the big headline the 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.440 ship that we've been keeping an eye on for a 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.440 week or so. Everybody's off, and that's a big deal. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.400 Yes, everybody's off who was supposed to get off. They're 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.120 still cruising that ship up to the Netherlands. But yes, 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.080 everyone has been or is in the process of being 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:47.160 repatriated correct to their official countries. But every country has 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.480 different policies on bringing their folks back and where they're 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.640 putting them. And even with what we chose to do 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.040 here in the United States, it's a bit confusing where 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.720 our folks went. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.840 But we'll get into where all the Americans are at 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.880 this point, who they are, and what their level of 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.080 risk is. But again, given the ship one hundred and 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.600 fifty passengers that were on board, what the process was. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.920 It is significant that this morning we are getting official 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.079 word that every passenger has been safely taken off that ship. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.120 The ship is on its way to the Netherlands. It 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.200 was a Dutch flagged ship, so it's going home essentially 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.959 at this point. So as far as the ship goes 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.120 and passengers go, there is no longer at least that connection. Now, 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.600 all those people did get on planes and start going 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.359 back homes under different protocols roads that you just mentioned, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.520 and so it's hard to keep up with the numbers. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.600 But here are the latest at least we can give, 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.200 and you help me. You've been looking at some of 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.480 the same information and different information, but at least right now, 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.120 there were nine cases that they were working with. Seven 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.160 of those have been confirmed to be the and strain 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.679 of the haunt virus. Is that what you have? 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.120 Yes, it is confusing. The numbers are all over the place. 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:55.959 You kind of have to go to several different news 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.960 outlets to try and cobble it together. But that is 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:04.679 my best that's my best way to put it. Yeah, 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.080 nine cases, seven of them are confirmed, but there are 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.720 still some other here and there. Maybe this maybe that 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.160 this person's experiencing symptoms I don't know why it's so 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.720 difficult to test. Maybe there aren't many places in the 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.360 world where you can test for this virus. And even 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.839 hearing that it's on a spectrum, it's not a yes 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.919 or no like a pregnancy test. It's you get a 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.959 varying degree of results. So it is a little confusing. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.320 So all the cases we speak of again, several more 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.160 could pop up. Several more people are symptomatic right now, 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.320 even but those are the confirmed cases at least that 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.960 we can give you. Nine suspected cases, seven confirmed now 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.560 of these cases that we know of orgues. This is 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.800 where we have three people among that group have died. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.240 Of course, the couple, the initial elderly couple on board, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.040 and then the German national, which I didn't realize until 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.160 this morning was a woman. Is that right that was 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.240 on board? You said the body of those Yeah, I had. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.600 No idea anything about that person. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.080 So that was a German national. Sales of three that 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.920 have died. Now, all the other positive cases or suspected 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:16.160 cases in that group, folks are from Netherlands, Britain, US, Germany, France, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.680 Switzerland and Spain. Wow, robes are kind of all over 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:23.200 the place and some of the most metropolitan and major 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.000 world powers in the world. 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.080 Yeah, that's crazy to think about how remote this ship was. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.360 But this ship, this is why cruise ships are concerning 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:37.279 for a lot of virologists epidemiologists, because you've got people 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:42.480 from all corners of the world coming together in close proximity, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:47.640 sharing buffet style meals, and so, yeah, if anything happens now, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.920 you're spreading something and then all of those folks go 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.280 back home to all their corners of the world. And 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.960 it's concerning when you have a virus like this take 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.600 off on a ship like this. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.240 So this virus that was at the tip of the earth, 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.400 at the literally the bottom of the earth for the 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.200 most part, is now sitting in Nebraska quite literally. So 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.000 let's give you the update on the Americans. Yes, among 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.800 the group, one of them has tested positive and roll 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.840 This was a little We watched this press conference live 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.719 yesterday that they gave in Nebraska. It was it took 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.599 a little while to nail down exactly what was happening 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.120 with these At least are the numbers that we know. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.279 This is what they gave us. So if this is 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:29.400 not accurate, it's on them. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:36.240 Exactly eighteen Americans slash passengers were flown back from that 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:41.000 ship of or Among those passengers, sixteen or at the 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:46.000 University of Nebraska Medical Center, and two a couple was 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.840 taken down to Emery in Atlanta. 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.120 So this was where things got a little confusion confusing. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.640 First of all, eighteen we were told it was seventeen, 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.880 but the eighteenth happened to be a British national who 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.359 has dual citizenship. Okay, I just want to throw that 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.520 in Therefore, of this conversation, let's just say eighteen Americans 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.800 were brought back. It was confusing as to why, and 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.280 I think we have a handle on it now though, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.279 robes why did sixteen stay in Nebraska and why'd you 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:11.960 need to send two down to Atlanta. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.200 It sounded as though there just wasn't enough room. At 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.240 the end, it sounded as if they also needed to 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.600 leave space in case any of the folks who they 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.000 now have in quarantine get sick and have to be 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.719 moved to a bio containment unit, which I believe they 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.120 only have a limited amount. So they have of the 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.479 sixteen who are in Nebraska, fifteen or in quarantine. One 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.320 is in a bio containment unit because that person did 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.040 test positive, and I think maybe they were just anticipating, 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.720 given the long incubation period, that they could have more 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.039 people that might have to move over into a biocontainment unit. 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.719 So they just wanted to separate, especially one of the 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.640 group that was showing symptoms. And I don't know if 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.479 it was a hero she, but that couple, one of 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.080 the two was moved down to Emory because they had 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:01.440 a facility there to contain them in case they do 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.200 test positive. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.320 And how he said it makes sense. He said, yeah, Nebraska, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.640 we want a couple other people get sick and then 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.200 we have to scramble to try to fly somebody to Atlanta. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.440 Let's just go ahead and get them there now, and 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.520 we're not in a panic situation. It made sense, But 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:18.200 it took that press conference, those doctors, and those reporters 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.640 a long time to get around to some clarity on 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.440 exactly what all that. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.360 Means, to the point where it almost felt like we 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.239 weren't getting the whole truth, and so reporters were asking 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.680 follow up after follow up after follow up, and look, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.680 I just think you have a bunch of public health 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:35.040 officials who don't want to alarm the public, don't want 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.480 to misspeak, and to their in fairness to them, they 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.640 hadn't had the opportunity to truly sit down with each 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.000 of these passengers and figure out how they were exposed, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.960 when they might have been exposed, for how long they 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.360 could have been exposed. They didn't have all the answers 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.920 to all the questions, so it seemed it was a 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.360 little confusing, and it did seem like we weren't getting 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:55.120 all the information. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.720 We got there eventually, but this was a bunch of robes. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.480 How many people would you say were on stage at 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.760 least seven, I think yeah was the number. And you 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.160 had doctors. You have people who work in labs and 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.560 deal with policy or in treating patients. They're not sometimes 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.040 the best trained communicators, and so it wasn't you could 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.880 tell it wasn't that well organized. It was one of 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.960 these things where everybody had to step up and I'm 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.120 from this group and this was our role, and then 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.040 I'm from this place and this is what we do. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.280 And then I'm from the White House and the President 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.160 is really concerned about that, Like everybody got their bit in. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.800 Yeah, And we see this in some of these massive 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.200 press conferences where it just gets confusing. I believe at 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.560 one point you said, man, we need Anthony Fauci right now. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.760 We need one dude. That's what I mean. You can 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.160 have say what you want about Anthony Fauci. We just 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.880 needed one voice. And quite frankly, a lot of us listen. 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.760 He sounded like he knew what he was talking about, 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.760 and he's spoke plain speak, and he spoke directly, and 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.520 if he didn't know the answer, he'd tell you didn't 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.640 know the answer, right, And just I appreciated him. It 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.480 was too many people wrote from too many different places 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.240 trying to send out one message, but it ended up 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.640 each of them had their individual messages that we were 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.360 stuck trying to piece together. I hope that this gets better. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.160 Yeah, agreed, And you know, I do think that when 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.160 people are kind of telling you, don't worry, it's low risk, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.840 shouldn't be concerned. It's like there's nothing to see here people. Meantime, 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.520 you've got everyone and has matt suits and quarantines and biohazard. 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:29.480 Like it's just the visuals don't match the audio. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.000 And that's where the communication part comes in to play. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.680 Is that you just have to like even if you 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.960 know as a doctor, there is nothing to worry about. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.079 You have to realize your audience doesn't have your same 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.679 unique education to understand the level of risk. All I 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:49.720 know is that y'all told me a lot of little 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.560 bugs six years ago, and next thing you know, I 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.760 can't find toilet paper. It's a grocery store. So really 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.360 that's on our minds, that's all we hear. 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.920 Real, Yeah, I'm thinking about body bags stacking up in 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.760 nursing homes and coming off the cruise ships and all 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.280 of those things. How it all began. 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.440 So just a little consideration, don't just say nothing to 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.080 see here, nothing to worry about. And they're saying it 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:16.960 calmly with this no emotion, no nothing involved. Okay we're 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.480 speaking not as journalists but as American sisens. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.800 Yes. Absolutely. 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.000 Second, so the other thing here, robes is that we 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.839 do have now fanned across the country people who are 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:32.280 being monitored. These folks are not These folks were passengers, 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.959 but understand they got off before the outbreak. So this 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:40.240 thing started. What on April first, the ship took off, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.560 He got sick on April six, died on April eleventh, 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.479 the first guy. But these people apparently hopped off. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.720 On April twenty fourth, so at least almost two weeks 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.480 after that death. So that's concerning. And also just the 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:58.120 difference in how those passengers are being monitored versus how 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.720 these folks who just got off the ship are being monitored. 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:02.280 We are texting me is not monitoring. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.079 That is concerning because look, as far as we know, 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.320 the eighteen folks who are being now held at these 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.520 different facilities in Nebraska and Atlanta are being held there 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.480 for now, and I believe we're hearing that they're going 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.680 to be individually assessed as to when they may be 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.880 allowed to self isolate. But these other nine folks just 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.640 they never went to a lab, they never went to 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.160 a facility. They've never from what I've understood, physically been monitored. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.880 They're just yeah, texting, calling, checking in, taking their temperature 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:34.520 twice a day. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.199 I feel better. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.360 But it's just a very different reaction to people who 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.080 had the same level of exposure. 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:48.600 Technically, yeah, technically potentially and maybe even probably on that ship. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.120 But those folks are just out there for forty two 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.280 days or whatever the number is. They're throwing around that 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.920 these folks need to be monitored and ropes. I never 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.000 got a direct answer. Can anybody in Nebraska right now 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.400 as being monitored get up and leave and go home? 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.760 I don't think so, because from what I have read, 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.439 they have said that they are going to individually assess 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.240 people based on who they were exposed to, how long 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.640 they were exposed to that person, and based on symptoms. 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:16.880 And so I heard all that. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.400 Yeah, so right now, I know they're not allowed to leave. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.920 Well, you say allowed, That's what I'm saying. Are they 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:28.920 being detained? Are they not allowed? Will federal authorities not 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.880 allow them to go home? I did. Look, if I 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.760 was on that ship, I would love to stay at 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:38.640 the best facility in the world, hope to monitory. Sure, 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.000 But I never got that answer yesterday. Maybe it won't 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.520 come up. Maybe there's no issue of them trying to leave. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.800 But is this a situation? Is the government can they 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.280 hold you and tell you can't go home? 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.960 I think that they can hold you, But will they 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.800 do that? I don't know. The director of the biocontinment, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.679 you know who we saw in that press conference, says 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:06.000 that they're going to encourage Chris passengers to stay quarantined 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.400 for a full forty two days. In fact, she said 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.560 she highly encourages it. And part of it was that 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.040 only a certain like their facility and maybe the one 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.360 down in Atlanta, has the care that they might need 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.640 should they become ill. And if you look at what 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.120 has happened when people become ill, it happens quickly, especially 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:27.560 when you look at what happened with that woman in 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.040 France who is now in critical condition. I was reading 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.880 a report that she actually was fine when she got 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.160 on the plane, but she had talked about how a 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.280 few days earlier she had a scary coughing fit and 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.280 they told her it was just anxiety that she was 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.920 just feeling. And she's like, now I feel like maybe 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.160 I'm feeling run down. They're like, you're just you're just 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.120 having anxiety. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.640 So she was sick ahead, yes, but she. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.440 Didn't, but they didn't really. They were just like they 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.000 told her to calm down, basically, so. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.079 She's probably symptomatic, yesgous correct. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.680 And then when she got on the plane, only more 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.360 symptoms came out. And then sure enough she went from 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.840 thinking I might feel a little sick, maybe it's in 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.520 my head, to literally being in the ICU. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.679 What is the thing that? What's the It was COVID 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.240 language two about the distance safe six feet six feet 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.520 There was something they call when you stay in close proctivity, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:26.360 close contact is deemed you would have continuous prolonged contact 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.040 is what they call it. Right, Yes, sick within six 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:30.880 feet And I had to go look up again what 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.320 that meant, because they keep telling us about this and 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.600 the strain human and human hunt of ours robes. They 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:40.600 keep saying, you would have to have prolonged close contact 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.160 with somebody. I said, oh, most of us don't have that. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.400 Then I went back and looked at the definition robes. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:47.600 We have that with. 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.520 Thirteen minutes six feet six feet apart. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.720 That's everybody sitting in the cabin with you. Yes, for 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:54.240 the most part. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.160 But if you look at this birthday party that folks 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.520 were talking about, where that was the only other really 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.520 well known or documented case of human to humans spread 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.640 of the ANDES virus in Argentina at a birthday party. Look, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.640 people are pointing out that there was not prolonged contact 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:09.800 among some of those guests who ended up falling ill. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.640 I believe how many it was eleven people died at 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.600 that birthday party. That's scary stuff, and we don't know 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.480 how closely or how long they were talking and mingling 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:22.160 with one another. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.720 So stay here with us, folks. We all wrap this 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.200 up in a second. But when we come back, we'll 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.120 tell you where everybody's being monitored here in the US, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.360 first of all. And the other thing. When you head 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.800 to the airport, any chance you're going to be hopping 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.320 on a flight with one of these folks who was 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.000 on that ship, Well the answer is suppose to be no. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:56.720 We'll explain. All right, we continue here on this Tuesday morning, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.520 just giving me a quick update on all the developments 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.360 yesterday and overnight having to do with the hauntavirus ship. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.440 Everybody is off that ship, but everybody is going back 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:10.480 to their countries of origin. And Andy's strain of the 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.800 hauntavirus has been confirmed in several places, and one of 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.400 those patients is in the US roades. Talking about everybody 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.960 in Nebraska, I think everybody knows. Now this is the 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.320 maybe the best quarantine facility in the world, but it's 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:27.240 in Nebraska, and that's where everybody is. Now. At some 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.960 point those folks are going to get to go home. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.760 I don't exactly know when. I don't know who gets 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.400 to make that call. Robes. But when they do, how 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.320 are they going to get there? Would you be concerned? 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.840 I mean we're all flying, we're all in close proximity 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.600 on top of each other. Certainly here in New York. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:43.800 Are they going to put these people on commercial flights? 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.280 Let's hope not that passenger in Spain that tested positive. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.640 Excuse me, wasn't there someone who shared a flight? Yes, 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.840 eight are an isolation of France because they shared a 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.360 flight with a sick person. So if you're on a 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.720 flight with someone who either is suspected to have had 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.160 it or has been exposed to it, and look, there's 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.560 a whole concept and a concern about whether or not 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:07.119 you can be or infect anyone if you're just a carrier, 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.800 if you're asymptomatic and you test positive for hauntavirus, I 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.879 just look, No, they should not be on a plane. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.200 I don't want to be on a plane with them, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.200 whether they're wearing a mask or not. No, thank you, There. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:19.720 Is no no, no, no no, no. This is not 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.320 this is not some This is not COVID. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:22.520 Now. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.320 I know we didn't know a lot about COVID in 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.199 the beginning rodes, but forty percent death rate, Yeah, this 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.280 is not. We can't mess around with. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.400 This forty two day incubation period. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.159 So that means you think you're in the clear and 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.080 week two you might have another three weeks before you 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:40.919 get sick. It's just we're not familiar with it. The 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.399 doctors keep saying they have information on it, and they've 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.359 known about hantavirus for a while, but ropes, we're just 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:47.640 it's just not something that we deal with. 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.240 Well, but I'm just curious. Okay, So how we get 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.199 these folks back if they're allowed to leave in a 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.120 matter of days? Okay, fine, say they charter these folks home, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.240 but who's to say, are they going to be on 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:58.240 a no fly list? 0:17:58.400 --> 0:17:59.000 We do? 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.080 We have all the name of not just the people 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:02.719 who were on the ship, but people who they may 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.320 have come into contact with, especially those who left the 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.320 ship early on April twenty fourth, all the people that 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.800 they almost certainly came into contact with going to didn't 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.240 someone go to a wedding? I read? So, look, this 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.040 is what happens. And I know that this doesn't spread 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:23.719 like COVID spread, but it is still understandably disturbing. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.240 So the CDC is telling us, no, you don't have 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:27.879 to worry about it. They are not. When they do 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.200 leave Nebraska whenever it happens and go back to their 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.600 cities and states, they will not to be putting them 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.560 on commercial flights. They will make arrangements, So that's at 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.600 least worth noting. We do know at least three people 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.360 are from New York, one of them from Manhattan. That's 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.119 there in Nebraska, so they will be coming back to 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:50.840 New York City to the most populous and the densest. 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:52.919 That's a good way to put it in. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.080 The country probably, so hopefully everything will be fine. 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.800 Can we find out what neighborhood that person lives in? 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:05.120 Is it Lower Manhattan? I would like to know, you. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.760 Know, they're people too. As somebody said, look, I just 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.679 want to give you that updates. Even though they keep 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.200 telling us nothing to worry about, a lot of people 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.639 are worried. And the story seems to be robes expanding 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.720 versus than wrapping up, if you will, we hear it 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.760 new something every single day, so until this kind of 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.000 gets wiped out, and maybe it's going to be forty 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:27.200 five days. 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:28.840 Yes, and so we'll continue to I mean, it's the 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.399 first thing I look at when I wake up to 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.440 see what's happening, what's going on. I just think it's 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.280 all too soon for so many of us, for all 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.520 of us who went through the pandemic, and it's understandable 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.480 that each day we wake up with a little bit 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.439 of concern and some skepticism from what we're hearing from 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.439 leaders just because viruses didn't we learn this in COVID. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.480 This is what viruses do. They mutate, So I have 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.440 that in the back of my mind. No one said 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.680 anything about it, but it's obviously going to be in 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.560 a lot of folks' minds for the next couple of 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.040
