>> good, chris. the idea that we could be over this quickly, every daya point that we are seeing says that could be true. >> the rate of escalation in the northwest is slower than that of new york city right now and that is because we started social distancing earlier. we have been doing the things to limit transmission. 6 to 7 days and here in new york it is 2 to 3 days and that is minimizing the opportunities to pass this from one person to the next. >> the panic inducing aspect of the statement is rate of acceleration. just slowing down the speed of which it is moving and doubling cases every week. where do we see any of this turning to from like 100 to 90? when might that happen? >> so, that is exactly what people are talking about when they are talking about flattening the curve. the transmission rate goes to less than one person. you get down to less than one person that you infect than we can break this epidemic and that can happen through effective social distancing and like what they did in

>> you know, chris, i think the president -- it is a dramatic move, obviously. it's i think designed to show action. but i don't think this was about a political speech for the president. what was his tone, how did he sound, how did he look? i think this is a governmental situation that we're dealing with. and it is a governmental crisis. and i think the president should in a speech like this say to the american people this is what we're looking at, this is what to expect and this is what government is going to do. because the truth is those number on cases are going to skyrocket. we know that. that is going to be jarring to the american people. we do have a problem with testing. and people are getting more nervous and going to see the numbers go up and they can't get a test. and that's an issue we have to talk to. you're going to see major disruptions and social distancing. what does that mean. we're closing schools and venues let the american people know that is coming. reducing density. what does that mean. they're are going to be major governmental actions t

the news continues so we'll hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." >> i am chris cuomo. welcome to "primetime." the white house will not say if our president has been tested. this is no time for games. this isn't about showing weakness. getting tested is strength. we've got one president. be safe. america needs its leaders, especially now. the unknown fed by hiding information and lying realities, that's what can overwhelm us. we can handle any reality in this country. we always have. we have senator bernie sanders tonight. he's going to address virus management on the eve of one of the biggest nights of his life. what do you say, let's get after it. >> all right, the virus is affecting everything, why not politics. matt gates was with the president on air force i tonight. he is now, gets a, self-quarantined along with four ouf gop lawmakers. they may have come with a close contact with a coronavirus attendee at cpac last weekend. you know him, he made a joke last week wearing a mask. you the president came in contact with him last friday. they shook hands. he's also in

now over to chris cuomo. >> appreciate it. all good. i'm chris cuomo. we need to fight through as much of the uncertainty as we can. i know you're asking how did this go from 15 days to hearing about plans for more than 18 months? and yes, we are now hearing that the young aren't in the clear. we are seeing cases pop up abroad and here too and some of them are bad cases. what changed? here's the good news. we have the nation's top coronavirus medic, dr. fauci is here tonight. okay? he's a trusted source for information. he's always been straight with me. i've known him a long time. we also have obama homeland security chief jeh johnson here. another trusted source. what does he say about what we can do to build capacity? how big a problem are we facing? he knows. and dallas mavericks owner and business titan mark cuban weighing in to help us understand what's going on in the markets and what he wants you to know about what the right and wrong fixes are going forward. listen, for all the uncertainty, we know we have tough days ahead. let's get the inform

chris, i want to say this. as scary as this is, as painful as this is for new york city, each one of us can help. how can we help? we can help by staying home. we can help by socially distancing. that in the end will save lives because that wave is coming. we don't know when it is going to break. we don't know when it is going to crest, but the thing we need is to halt transmission. you have three things going on at once. you need to halt transmission. you need to build up capacity in the hospital system to handle that wave, and you need to do what the congresswoman and the senator were talking about, which is deliver economic relief to new yorkers that are frightened right now and that are in economic ruin. our small businesses, we need a rent freeze, a rent moratorium for renters. that's what we need to do right now for new york city. >> you know, the point that you're pointing to here and that the governor made that i think is important for people that are watching this, the majority of whom are not in the n
