There are currently 64 known

cases

of

coronavirus

in the United States after two new

cases

were identified tonight in California and Oregon and still the president is talking about 15 cases and tonight at a rally he went a step further and called the

coronavirus

a

hoax

. We know that we are 15 people in this huge country and due to the fact that we arrived early, we could have had much

more

than that, a few

more

figures, there are now more than 85,000 cases worldwide, in fact, the World Health Organization Health today raised its own assessment of the global risk of coronavirus from high to very high and that is its highest category, as expressed by its deputy director of Health Emergencies.

This is really a reality. It's a reality check for every government on the planet. Wake up, get ready. The virus may be on the way and again today, in fact, the market suffered losses for the seventh day in a row. Now the Dow Jones has lost 12 percent of its total value in one week, making it the worst loss since 2008. Tonight, NBC News

confirmed

the Washington Post. reporting that the White House is considering a tax cut and possibly interest rate cuts to help the economy, meanwhile, the White House also decided to postpone a major summit with Asian leaders Scott scheduled for next month in Las Vegas in amid concerns about the coronavirus. of travel plans have changed many airline stocks are very low Amazon has paused non-essential employee travel United Airlines is reducing its service across Asia, while the AP reports that school districts across the country are beginning to preparing online classes and canceling foreign trips despite evidence pointing to the spread of the coronavirus, the president continues to use his own set of false numbers, we are at the same number.

Many people are getting better, much better. The number 15, the 15 people, in the same way, we have reduced them to a much lower number. They are in good shape most of them are in very good shape one of the people is uh I wouldn't say she's not doing well, but she's very, she's very sick, but I hope she's getting better, but we're in the same number. which we've basically only had 15. Well, I think it's just that people don't know what the unknown is, you know, and they look at it and say how long would this last. I think they are not very happy with the Democrat. candidates when they see them I think that has an impact and uh we treat them we believe that we are going to win we believe that we are going to win easily but you never know that it is an election I don't think that is helping I made a decision that was a very important decision and it was closing our country to a certain area of ​​the world that was relatively severely infected and that's why we're talking about 15 that seem to be improving one is questionable again 64

confirmed

cases in this country, so here's more of what he said about the virus at his rally tonight in North Charleston, South Carolina, one of my people came up to me and said, Mr.

President, they tried to beat you in Russia, Russia, that didn't work either. Well, they couldn't do it. They tried the impeachment

hoax

which was a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried again and again. They've been doing it since she came in. Everything is changing. They lost today. His chief of staff spoke at the conservative political action committee and we gave a similar perspective we took extraordinary measures four or five weeks ago why didn't he find out what was still happening four or five weeks ago the impeachment trial and that's all we The press wanted to talk about the reason you're paying, why you're saying you're paying so much attention today is because they think this is going to be the thing that overthrows the president, that's what it's about, this isn't Ebola, okay, and I'll tell you what that means.

In a sense, it's not SARS, it's not MERS, it's not a death sentence, it's not the same as the Ebola crisis. Will you see some schools closed? You'll probably see impacts on public transportation, sure, but we do this, we know how to handle it. this more about all that at one point the president's eldest son also weighed in today about criticism of the administration's response, are you surprised by the way they've been handling the coronavirus situation? you said we've seen this for four years. Anything they can use to try to hurt Trump. The playbook is old at this point, but trying to take a pandemic and seemingly hope it gets here and kills millions. of people so they can end Donald Trump's winning streak is a new level of illness and last night in the midst of all this the Secretary of Health and Human Services showed that even among adults the number one position in this president's cabinet is still praising the boss at all costs, so I just want to let everyone know that thanks to the president's historically aggressive containment efforts, we have really been able to keep the risk to Americans low right now, so that ordinary Americans don't have to worry, but that can change. and that's why it's important for all of us to prepare, that's why the president is leading an entire government effort.

He has put the vice president in charge of getting our entire government prepared and making sure our local state communities are prepared as well, so the president really deserves incredible credit as Trump has decided to re-nominate Republican Congressman John Ratcliffe of Texas to be Director of National Intelligence Ratcliffe, if one is one of Trump's most ardent supporters in Congress, his last nomination for this very position was DOA after missing truths about his previous prosecutions of terrorists. Part of my background is that I was a terrorism prosecutor for George W. Bush. I'm John Radcliffe as US Attorney.

I prosecuted terrorists. The point is that Ratcliffe was US Attorney only on an acting basis and for less than a year Hi, I'm Chris Hayes from MSNBC. Thanks for watching MSNBC on YouTube.
