Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm glad you with us two hundred and twenty nine
days until election day, stay twelve Americans helping to protect
other Americans and the well reduced contact with people. Let's
call it that. Anyway, glad you with us. A lot
of news to get to today, a lot of it
really really good news. Here is the first indication where

(00:23):
do Americans stand on the issue of the travel ban.
You just heard doctor quid pro quote Joe say the president.
He said this January thirty first, the day that the
President implemented the travel band, ten days after the first
known case of coronavirus in the US. That was January
twenty first. Ten days later, January thirty first travel band quarantine,

(00:44):
Donald Trump, Joe Biden saying it was hystericals, data phobia,
and fearmongering. Anyway, we're now finding new polling information that
a vast majority of Americans support the president's acts. Here
three polls out now that show that the president has
approval how he's supporting it Rasmussen eighty percent of American

(01:07):
adults agree with the federal government's decision to temporarily ban
travelers from China and then nearly all European countries. After Now.
The interesting thing about that even seventy eight percent of
Democrats agreed, this was not the administer, this was Donald
Trump's decision. Everybody in the room told them, Oh, it's
not needed, it is not necessary. Interesting, so seventy percent

(01:32):
think their schools in their states should be closed. And
by the way, the President encouraged Americans to engage in
schooling from home for the time being. And let's see
what asked which is closer to their own thinking. Sixty
four percent of Americans say the numerous event closures postponements
in response to Corona are good thinking. Twenty six percent, however,

(01:54):
view them as panicked overreaction, ten percent they're not sure.
And raspus and found that a plurality of US voters
believe China should pay at least some of the financial
costs associated with the virus forty two percent, thirty six
percent disagreeing, twenty seven percent uncertain, forty two percent finding

(02:15):
the media's coverage to be excellent or good, twenty one
percent fair, thirty two percent pour clear divide there, And
what's interesting about it is Republicans were more likely to
have of negative views of the current coverage because what
they do in the beginning, just blame Trump and blame
Trump constantly and anyway. But the numbers are pretty interesting

(02:39):
across the board. There's no doubt we'll look back in
history and we're going to find three separate things, at
least for now. And I think a fourth one is emerging,
and that is with the President's announcement today as it
relates to treatment of Corona. Three separate venues. They're going
to attack this and that we now have no hope
that we didn't have yesterday. And I think the top
part of this has to be that the President now

(03:01):
instituting the travel band that was hysterical xenophobia and fearmongering.
According to Joe, Yeah, that will happen more quickly in
any future pandemic. I think number two drive up testing,
and I know it's not up and running everywhere yet,
but they're they're they're kicking down doors trying to get
this up and running. I've now seen enough videos. It's
it's now unfolding across the country. Thank goodness. I think

(03:24):
moving forward, we have this telemedical service that would be
available twenty four seven, which would be great for every American.
You know your kid is sick late at night. You
call a doctor on call available, say hey, I just
took my son, my daughter's temperature. They're showing these symptoms.
How would you recommend I treat it? And maybe you commend,

(03:45):
maybe you don't commend, based on what the doctor tells you.
From that position, I could see an easy reduction of
at least a third of emergency room visits of the
American people. That's going to be big. And I think
what the President did today with his press conference with
the FDA, this is groundbreaking. Also, they're now clearing the
way at the FDA to expand the types of medicine

(04:07):
treatments available during this pandemic that had never been done before.
Early trials have begun for a prospective coronavirus vaccine. Now
they were able to break down the structure of this
virus quicker than ever before in history. Used to take years,
they did it in less than two months. That is

(04:27):
an amazing advancement and that means he can work on
some type of vaccine headed down the road, which is good.
President at the White House saying that he'd support the
prospect of government taking and equity stake in companies as
part of a stimulus of the economy. We'll have to
see what that ultimately means. But as for the FDA
fast Track, their officials say they want to expand treatments

(04:50):
available during the pandemic in a way that is both
fast and responsible. There are three specific treatments that they
have mentioned. One is chloro quin or chloroquin depending on
how you pronounce it, convalescent plasma. And what is an
RNA inhibitor that was used for ebola and stars. It's

(05:12):
called redissevere. And you know this goal also goes to
the president's decision on a right to try. Now, I
went into great detail, especially in chloroquin, because chloroquin in particular,
used for malaria, has shown pretty promising results. I mean
really promising results. Actually I got a map and I'll

(05:33):
show it on TV. But wherever malaria is not you
see COVID nineteen, the coronavirus. Well, where malaria is not
is because they are using this drug that I just
mentioned to you, chloroquin. That's the reason. That is the
only difference. And now we've seen both in China, South Korea,

(05:54):
France has has done enough studies. Now we're seeing that,
in fact, they are seeing dramatic results. I went over
the specifics of this yesterday. I'll go over them again
today so you fully understand exactly what they're talking about.
Stephen Hanna is the Commissioner of the FDA. He said
he wanted to assure the American people that the agency
would go as fast as they possibly can a broaden
access to new medicines and treatments, and that have remained,

(06:18):
you know, they remained bound by their mission to ensure
that they're safe. The good thing is, for example, chloroquine
has been out since the forties to battle against malaria
and do so successfully. So we know the potential side effects,
and we know the doses that tend to kick in
those side effects, the doses that have been viewed as
successful in the treatment or even prevention. It's almost acting

(06:41):
serving as a prophylactic that we now know that the
danger levels. For example, it could impact vision and sight,
but only at high doses. But at the right dose
it doesn't seem to have any negative impacts at all,
no other side effects that are known that I was
reading today and and anyway, so this is this is

(07:01):
all good stuff in terms of as we now await
with the testing that's going on, the increase in the
number of instances people that have contracted the virus, etc. Etc.
Let me go through the news that you need to know.
I want to give you the facts without fear, because
I know that there were people that are just and
we spent a lot of time on this yesterday bludgeoning
you know, this into a political issue like they have

(07:23):
from the beginning, Trump virus. If you're feeling awful, you
know who to blame, Trump's Skatrina, Trump's Chernobyl. This is
like in the earliest days. The first day we reported
this on this program was January twenty eighth, and that day,
Linda I went into specificity when they were talking about
people asymptomatic carrying this virus and pacity passing it on

(07:48):
because it seemed to be passed on it was a
seemingly aerosol airborne We knew that day. I said, oh,
we've got a problem. And then when I first had
a doctor, Anthony Faucio, was February tenth, and we went
into great detail of the dangers then, but always expressing
hope that our medical experts in this program are medical researchers,

(08:11):
are doctors, frontline healthcare professionals, scientists that they always get
the job done. And for our audience on if you'd
like to go to Hannity dot com, we have a
timeline of Schwan's comments who he was talking to, the
corresponding articles. So, oh yeah, the media says, I've changed
my tone. I've been saying you'd better pay attention to
You've had one tone. It's called get information. I had

(08:33):
two tones. The other one is those people that were
saying Trump virus, feeling off of blame Trump. Yeah, I
had a tone for them too, because as usual, you know,
they wanted this, Oh okay, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine. Now
let's make it virus virus, impeach, impeach. It's the same.
And there's a great article. I got to give a
shout out. I wish I had time. It's an eleven
minute read. Nick Nolty's common right, Mark, I'm sorry, John

(08:57):
John Ulty not an exalty. Sorry, he's an actor. I
think that's a job. That's a Joe Biden moment. What
can I tell you? John Nulty got to write it down,
John Nulty, remember notice self. The establishment media's coronavirus slides.
It is they're so deep, they're so profound, and then
they turn around and they have shows like This Weekend,

(09:18):
Joy Reid and some others on fake News CNN. You know,
Joel Lockheart, of all people, the dumbest press secretary in
the history of this country, suggesting, when this is all done,
we've got to look at Fox MSDNC actually suggesting Fox
News has killed so many people over the many many
hit What are these people talking about. It's so reckless

(09:40):
and they get away with the medium mob. They never
fact check each other. They just want to bludgeon people.
And you know the worst thing they do is they
take things. We remember the one day in passing, somebody
hands me it texts me this tweet of this guy
from m I T who says, huh might be a
deep state thing? And I'm reading it having not even

(10:00):
previewed it. Who knows? I say the words, who knows?
That becomes the quote of all my coverage. That's how
corrupt they are not saying, oh I was, I was
banging alarm bells from the beginning. But I don't. I
don't preach panic, I don't preach hysteria. If you really

(10:22):
want to solve problems, in life, you've got to calmly,
stand back, strategically think of solutions. That's that's the way
I approach life. If you get into freak out mode,
you're not thinking at your best. And I suggested all
of that at the time. We do have somenewstime dot

(10:43):
com reporting that a home based Corona testing kit could
be available to every single American with appropriate systems symptoms
as early as next week. That would be big. Anyway,
home testing company that offers dozens of lab testing consumers
they're adding COVID nineteen testing beginning March to twenty third.
That's great progress. You got to give credit to all

(11:05):
these people that do all these things, like, for example,
you can test your diabetes at home, your blood pressure
at home, if you get one of those machines, your
blood sugar at home. You could test for example, you
think your kids might be using drugs, they got to
test for every drug on the market. You can test
them drug test them, which I think is a good thing.
It's way if you do it and your kids say
you don't trust me, and you just say no, trust

(11:27):
but verify that. Guess what if the fear of a
test might keep them from one day doing something really stupid. Anyway,
some of the news is there is the US government
preparing for a pandemic. There is a hundred page federal plan.
I don't take this the wrong way. Just put it
in the back of your mind, knowing that they're thinking

(11:47):
long term. They're thinking worst case scenario. That it would
show the Trump administration is making contingency plans. Should this
stretch on longer than we're thinking it will today, eighteen months?
A longer that what if there are multiple waves of illness?
That to me means, Oh, they're doing their job, they're
thinking ahead. I like it. We do have some bad

(12:09):
news though, and we've got some data in up till
really today, I had not seen except for a report
in Great Britain and maybe one or two and one
or two doctors that were writing articles warning people that
it is not just older people that are being impacted
by this, that they had seen examples of some younger people.

(12:29):
Now we're finding out in the United States. Now. Remember
I might have something to do with the fact that
viruses tend to mutate. I don't know if that happened here.
I'm just my own theory working in my head because
we had not seen this in South Korea, we had
not seen this in China, we had not seen this
in other parts of the world. We're now beginning to
see some younger people. We have young adults twenty to

(12:50):
forty four. Twenty percent of people hospitalizer within that age group.
According to a brand new federal study, that's nearly nine
thousand Americans tested positive for the virus. The other thing
that we're seeing is okay, So that's twenty percent and
then eighteen percent between forty five and fifty four being hospitalized.
Of those percentage of people that show up positive that

(13:12):
had not happened before. Still the highest percentage of hospitalized
patients remain in the sixty five plus age group bracket,
if you will. But we know in one hundred and
twenty one patients to have been admitted to ICU, most
of them were older. Nobody below nineteen apparently underage knows
ICU admissions making very distinction, very significant distinctions here, all right,

(13:37):
eight hundred ninety four one sewn. We're going to get
into these three separate now FDA fast tracks that are
showing a lot of promise. One is convalescent plasma and
I'll explain what that is. Chloroquinn, which is the one
the malaria drug that everyone's really been talking the most about. Randissevere,
which is an RNA inhibitor they used on ebola and sars.

(13:58):
That's showing some promising results as well as part of
a treatment or prophylactic even to prevent people from getting corona.
Glad you with us, all right? Just worldwide numbers those
that have contracted the virus two hundred and thirty six thousand,
three hundred and eighty four nine thousand, seven hundred and
ninety deaths. US total confirmed cases eleven thousand and two

(14:20):
thirty eight total deaths one fifty seven perspective, sixty point
eight million Americans got If I'm Joe Biden N one
h one h one N one, we had sixty point
eight million Americans worldwide, we lost as many as five
hundred and seventy five thousand people, and a year in

(14:42):
the US we lost twelve thousand, four hundred and sixty
nine people that died. We had hundreds of thousands of
Americans hospitalized in the last pandemic. Why am I saying
that now? I'm not? This isn't political. There's facts without
fear segment. This is it, that's just that's what's happening.
We have another thing that apparently again this is the

(15:04):
new to all of this that we first began to
see a little bit in Great Britain. It was one
doctor there that was saying, hey, it's not just older
people who compromised immune systems. We're seeing with babies and
preschoolers also a high risk for developing some symptoms when
affected with corona. The percentage of severe cases very very small,

(15:27):
and that are being reviewed. So we've got to watch
that closely. That could be some type of variation that
has taken place here with the virus. Oh, we're gonna
do something today we have not done before, and that
is we're going to have an Asked the Doctor segment.
We can call in and ask your questions that you
might have about corona. All right, quick break, I'm going
to give you the three treatment options discussed by the
President in the FDA to day when we come back.

(15:48):
All right, twenty five till the top of the hour.
AH Congresswoman Omar praising Donald Trump for his incredible and
right response in this critical time. That's what she said.
I was pretty shocked and went on to quote another Congresswoman,
Pressley is saying, unprecedent at times require unprecedented leadership. We're

(16:11):
seeing that in our country right now. Okay, maybe there's hope.
I never thought it was possible. Baltimore mayor urging residents
to stop shooting each other at as the coronavirus spreads.
How about we have that all the time. I'm a
little concerned about police departments telegraphing, oh, we're not going
to arrest you if you commit crimes. That would be

(16:32):
a license to commit crimes. Dumb idea is is saying
they will not arrest most undocumented immigrants during the pandemic.
I'm not sure that's a good idea. They're talking about rikers.
I guess they have won one positive test for Corona
now allowing large numbers of inmates out. That's being talked
about actually around the country in other places as well.

(16:55):
Then we have let's see major hotel executive of Vashford Inc.
I've cut ninety five percent of my staff. These are
the people that we need to help. We'll check in.
By the way, Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader in the House,
will join us later today. Elon musk now As followed
up with what the offer the GM has offered. This

(17:16):
is how great some of these corporations are. You got
to give them full credit. They're all on board. They're
all doing amazing things to manufacture hospital ventilators amid the
coronavirus outbreak. That would be great, great news. We have
Larry Cudlow, who is the White House Economic Advisor, describing
and unidentified automakers offer to callback workers idle plants make

(17:39):
medical devices needed to treat the critically ill. I think
that's a great idea. I know we have now have
the floating hospitals, one on the East coast, one on
the West coast. Great idea, great use of America's resources.
And knowing that we're going to be bailing out the
cruise lines, I would suggest that we might want to
start the process of preparing maybe a couple of those
ships to be turned into hospitals, if in fact it

(18:02):
would be needed. You always want to think about worst
case scenarios for everything. Congressman Mario Diaz Blart Ben McAdams,
the first lawmakers to announce testing positive for corona, an
entire Georgia's Senate, told to self isolate because a lawmaker
there with corona virus turned up to vote. I'm shaking

(18:23):
with rage, was the comment of a fellow colleague. A
woman flies. I mean, people lose their minds when these
things happen. She flew from the US to China for
a coronavirus test. Now she might be put in prison
for concealing her symptoms while traveling. Great. Oh, then we got,
of course, never Trumper, that idiot Rick Wilson, whoever his

(18:46):
name is, the founder of the Lincoln Project. Yeah, he
told Melanie Trump quote hashtag be infected. Really after the
first lady announced that she would be in PSA's about
coronavirus hashtag be infected. Oh that's so helpful. Nice when
everybody steps up to the plate and they do wonderful things.

(19:07):
California residents now calling the cops. New York Post at
a story on coughing neighbors. Jersey police rated two weddings
to enforce the coronavirus restrictions that just happened. Weekly jobless
claims this is the early stages of this is now
up by seventy thousand. Jobless claims rose to two hundred

(19:29):
and eighty one thousand last week, reflecting on the first
indications of the impact economically in the unemployment situation, Trump
ordered the Department of Housing and Urban Development to suspend
any foreclosure. Let's see Baltimore's may are also warning shooting
victims of filling hospital beds that are needed for coronavirus patients.
Now Governor Rick De Santa's and Senator Rick Scott have

(19:51):
put an end to this insanity of all these Florida
spring breakers that didn't seem to give a rip about
people that might end that they may end up impacting.
Not a good idea. So that's some of the news
that we have here. I want to focus here and
a couple of things. I want to start with. A
lot has happened. We have made more progress, more quickly

(20:13):
than I think anyone ever could imagined, and more most importantly,
we have made progress that will be game changing for
future pandemics. Drive up testing one example. Travel ban, Yeah,
we'll put it in place sooner rather than later. Now
you see the federal government cooperating partnerships with the private industry.

(20:37):
That again game changing. Now we've got what happened today.
I'm going to go into some details over this. This
is really impactful and important for the American people as
we move forward, because we can always learn to deal
better with any other challenges that we might have down
the road. Because you know, you want to keep Americans healthy,

(20:57):
that is what we do. You know. The coronavirus response
has been comprehensive on every single level in ways that
will help us in the future. That includes, for example,
the President now key decisions about closing the border with
Canada Mexico, the Defense Production Act, the Department of Housing
and Urban Development stopping foreclosures, the Department of Labor one

(21:19):
hundred million dollars dislocated worker grants, White House working with
the private sector to launch these websites, and it goes on.
It's a whole of government response, including the travel restrictions,
including expanding testing accessibility, including helping impacted businesses, helping families
and American workers. So the only thing I asked Washington

(21:40):
is don't waste our money alarming the public and informing
the public. These daily press conferences I'm paying attention to.
If you want more information, you can always go to
Coronavirus dot gov. The task force has been available every
single day to everybody in the media and the American people,
and to watch and watch these questions asked and see

(22:02):
if they are solving the problems that pop up. This
is a whole on government response. It's really they're starting
from scratch here in terms of none of this was
ever needed before, and they seem to be rising to
the occasion, supporting patients, healthcare providers, preparing for worst case scenarios,
strengthening essential medical supplies and production, and developing vaccines and

(22:27):
therapies that are going to be available to everybody. Now,
this is where we get into the more complicated part
of the show. And I don't want to get into
the weeds, into an area of things that it just
gets complicated. And I felt as I was trying to
explain chloroquin yesterday, which is the malaria drug that has
been effective, I didn't think I did the best job possible.
I go to try to do better. Convalescent plasma is

(22:49):
a plasma rather as another treatment. For example, some people
that maybe have been in contact with the virus have
plasma blood plasma that could be used as a means
for testing and also as a therapy, and also potentially
even as a ultimcure for people. We have an RNA

(23:12):
inhibitor that was used for ebola and sars. Remdisseovie is
the name of that drug. They're all lefta approved. The
one that is getting the most attention, though, is the
one that I was discussing in detail yesterday. And I
think this gets very, very interesting in terms of what
possibilities might exist, because everything I've read all day today,
and that's all I've been doing is immersing myself in

(23:34):
the science and evidence of this is all very and
extremely promising. Again three separate. Well, we have two drugs
that the President spoke about today, chloroquin and remdissevere. Those
are the two drugs that have shown that, hey, they
have crossover potential that are helping and showing positive signs

(23:54):
for both as a prophylactic prevention measure to prevent you
from getting coronavirus and number two to help you treat
this and get better more quickly. And the President said,
I've directed the FDA to eliminate the rules and bureaucracy
so work can proceed rapidly, quickly and fast. He said,
we have to remove every barrier. He announced earlier today.

(24:18):
The chloroquin. Again, we've had this drug around since nineteen
forty five, FDA approved it will be made available by
prescription almost immediately, said it was one of the number
of antiviral therapies that will limit the symptoms of the
virus that the administration is trying to get. Trying to
get two Americans as quickly as possible, he said, as

(24:40):
it relates to this other drug that would also be
made available to Americans, as well as a process of
compassionate use, which then goes back to the right to try,
which I always thought was an amazing idea of the President.
And he laid all of that out in the press
conference with the head of the FDA earlier today. So
let me just explained, So it slashing the red tape.

(25:02):
They are making a lot of progress on therapeutics. Nothing
he's going to stand in the way. This drug chloroquin
that he's talked about, or hydroxy chloroquin maybe more officially
as it's known, is shown to be very encouraging some
early results, and we're going to be able to make
that drug available almost immediately. There are promising therapies that

(25:22):
are being produced, and then it gets into the issue
of redissevere and the President talked at length about that
that's a drug used for other purposes that has been out.
Let me give you one good sign that I saw.
There is a maple showed on TV tonight. Wherever there
is malaria, where they've been using this medicine, which is chloroquin,

(25:48):
they're finding COVID nineteen does not exist. That is huge,
all right, So what does that mean? Doctor Faucci had
discussed this. Now, there's a guy that was on Laura's
program last night, doctor Gregory Regano. He is the author
of a study discussing the latest findings that the first
trial vaccine for coronavirus that is also in the work

(26:09):
separately and apart from this, but anyway, he discussed hydroxy
chloroquin and that they were found free of disease in
six days. The patients were testing negative for coronavirus, in
other words, in six days. He also said that taking
chloroquin could act as a preventative prophylactic if you prefer

(26:29):
that word. I know that everyone loves different words, but
in other words, an effective treatment. Now, this is where
I'm going to get into the weeds. Stick with me. Now,
this is a study that was presented in consultation Stanford
University School of the Medicine UAB School of Medicine, National
Academy of Science researchers Nature had some good information on
it as well, and the summary is recent guidelines. This

(26:53):
is information from South Korea, China reporting the chloroquin is
an effective anti viral therapeutic treatment again coronavirus disease twenty nineteen.
That would be this coronavirus. And what they're showing is
the use of chloroquin in tablets. They also apparently are
have an IV version that works even faster, showing favorable

(27:15):
outcomes in humans infected with coronavirus, including faster time to recovery,
shorter hospital stays. And it's showing that chloroquin has also
a strong potential as they that word again prophylactic preventative
measure against coronavirus in the lab while we wait for
the vaccine to be developed. This is huge. If this

(27:36):
is what everybody's saying this is, this means a lot
of lives are going to be saved. That would be great. Now,
this drug has been widespread human use since nineteen forty
five against malaria, autoimmune in various other conditions. Now, what
they found in South Korea and China, they have significantly
more exposure, They've had more time to analyze and do

(27:56):
diagnostics and treatment and preventative options, and where behind them.
According to the FDA Commissioner and board member of Viser
this guy named Scott Gottlieb, the world can learn the
most about COVID nineteen by paying attention to the response
of the countries that had the most significant exposure before
the US and Europe and as per the US CDC,

(28:17):
Chloroquin is an anti malaria medicine. It's available in the
US prescription only prescribed for either prevention or treatment of malaria.
Can be prescribed to adults, and all children's can also
be safely taken, it says, by pregnant women nursing mothers.
CDC research shows chloroquin can affect virus infection in many ways,

(28:40):
and the anti viral effect depends in part on the
extent to which the virus utilizes endosomes for entry. Chloroquin
has been widely used to treat human diseases like malaria
and others in HIV and autoimmune very successfully, quote without
signi efficant detrimental side effects. Has more impact on that

(29:05):
it could impact eyesight and blindness. But a very high
dose is not of the doses that they're talking about
in these studies. Now, they had the Korea Biomedical Review.
I trust them South Korea more than the information from
China just last month and composed of physicians and experts
treating the patients there that have Corona and China to

(29:28):
their own testing there. According to the research data clinical
trials ARENA data from the drug chloroquin shows certain curative
effect were fairly good in terms of working on patients
that were treated with chloroquin, demonstrating a better drop in fever,
improvement of lung CT images, and required a shorter time

(29:51):
to recover compared to parallel groups. The percentage of patients
with negative viral nucleic acid tests was all also higher.
With the anti malarial drug chlora Quinn has so far
shown no obvious or serious adverse reactions in the participants
in the trial. Now, the treatment from South Korea gives

(30:13):
the guidelines if patients are old, underlying condition serious symptoms,
they advise the positions should consider the antiviral treatment. In
other words, those that are most vulnerable. They're saying, you
may want to use this as soon as possible and
that would save lives anyway. The treatment guidelines are very
similar out of China, although I trust their information less

(30:35):
whether we have a lot to discuss about China today
they've lost their minds South Korea guidelines notably other anti virals,
HIV drugs, etc. Listed as further lines of defense. According
to research CDC, chlorowin does have these strong anti viral
effects on SARS now SARS was a coronavirus both prophylactically

(30:56):
and therapeutically, and SARS corona had significant similarity to COVID nineteen.
We have identified chloroquinn as an effective anti viral agent
for stars and corona in selk culture conditions. All signs
are Let's put it this way. If I had it personally,
I'm speaking only for Sean Hannity, I'd be all over this.

(31:17):
That's my own personal point of view. Right hour to
Sean Hannity Show, Glad you're with us, toll free eight
hundred and nine four one, Sean, you want to be
a part of the program. It is two hundred and
twenty nine days till you the American People, the Ultimate Jury.
You get to decide a lot of issues on the table.
We are now worldwide two hundred thirty six thousand, four

(31:40):
hundred and twenty that have contracted corona. Now, by the way,
this number of deaths, we don't want any deaths, but
it does include those in China and Italy and ran
We believe nine thousand and seven hundred and ninety in
the US eleven thousand, two hundred and seventy four have
contracted the virus confirmed. Now, the number we expect to

(32:02):
rise dramatically the next few weeks as testing has expanded out.
Also in bigger numbers, one hundred and fifty seven Americans
have died. To offer some perspective, let's let's just go
back to the hang on a set. My daughter just
walked in. Come on, come on the here now, why
don't you say hello? Mka? Okay? How are you say

(32:22):
hi to everybody? Hey? You have to spit? What's going on? Okay?
So once a day or every other day? My daughter?
You're eighteen, right, yeah, eighteen years old? Okay? You and
your friends, what do you say, mister Hannity, mister Hannity,
what do you say? You asked me questions about what
the coronavirus? Right, and on a scale of one to ten.

(32:42):
How freaked out are you? And all your friends are?
And I every day I get the same questions, are
we going to die? No? You know, just use social
distancing right now, we're not using social distancing. You're very
close to me using the same microphone and purerell and
if you want, gloves and mask. But you know there
is something good about this every boy in the in

(33:04):
the world fourteen through you know whatever. Guess what they
all have germs. That's a good Linda, right, that's a
great thing. Oh yeah, absolutely, Okay, listen to everything your
father says. Listen to everything your father says on this
It is all good. No, no, you don't think so.
Oh man, all right, listen twelve more days. The idea

(33:26):
is we want to get a cure the president. In
case you haven't been following the news, which I know
you don't, how often he listened to the show like never? Right? Never? Okay?
How often you watch my TV show? Never? Do you
have any idea what I do for a living? Yes? Barely? Right, barely? Okay? Well,
the president announced today along with the oh we'll say goodbye, everybody,

(33:47):
don't be rude. Okay, Um, we did have some announcements today.
Can you believe this that, um, we have three fast
tracked FDA approved now these are We have two drugs
that have been used, used and are showing extremely promising
possibilities both prophylactically and in terms of diminishing the effects

(34:10):
of this coronavirus. One is called chloroquin and the other
is called rendissavie, and it's an RNA an inhibitor was
used with ebola and SARS. Chloroquin what's amazing, it's mostly
been used since nineteen forty five. Is a malaria drug.
And if you look at those areas of the world
where they have had high incidence of malaria and they've

(34:34):
been using this medicine, you have very low incidence of
COVID nineteen, which is a lot of promising. We have
some other issues now that before US, we now China,
whether we can trust it or not. Apparently we do
have some other outside observers on the ground. They are
now saying that their infections are down to zero, meaning
new infections, no locally transmitted coronavirus case for the first

(34:56):
time since the pandemic began for them first identified. We
now no earlier than they said around December seventh, the
World Health Organization. Oh, they actually said, oh, there's no
person to person transmission of this virus. They said that
on January fourteenth, the World Health Organization is useless, and
then slammed Donald Trump. The first case in the US

(35:17):
January twenty one this year, the travel ban in effect. Yeah,
the one that was called hysterical xenophobia and fearmongering by
Joe Biden. Yeah, that was ten days later. We're gonna
get to Kevin McCarthy in just a second, but I
want to just point out a couple of things that
relates to China. You know, there's a report out now
that the coronavirus outbreak could have been reduced by ninety

(35:41):
five percent worldwide if China acted sooner. Ninety five percent. Now,
this is a recent study University of Southampton, and they
said that the global outbreak would have dramatically been reduced
had the government acted sooner. I asked Mike Pompey, Secretary
of State, last night on Hannity. I said, well, if

(36:02):
you had gotten a call from China early on and
they said, hey, we got something going on here, maybe
you want to come and bring your medical researchers, scientists,
doctors take a look at it. Would you have acted?
He to think, yeah, we would. The reason that America
is even offering a ran some medical assistance is because
if Iranians travel abroad, then they're going to be infecting

(36:23):
other people around the world too, So it just could
common sense ninety five percent. This is outrageous and if China,
now we can't calculate how many people would have contracted
this virus at the president not shut down shut down
the borders as quickly as he did. It's just unbelievable
to me. And then we have media. There's a great

(36:45):
piece where did I read this? Earlier today? NewsBusters had
this how CBS and other media are praising how China
attack the virus. That is nothing, but that is Chinese propaganda.
There's a article on foxnews dot com China recast themselves
as the global get this Corona virus response leader, really

(37:05):
because the world wouldn't have this but for their irresponsibility,
recklessness in this and deceit and deception and hiding what
was really going on. Another on the Hill and article
China and the World Health Organization's chief hold them both
accountable for this. Pandemic. I agree with that. We have
Senator Tom Cotton and others introducing a bill to and

(37:28):
US dependence on Chinese manufacture pharmaceuticals. That's got to happen.
We can't rely on them for anything. And a Wall
Street Journal report China reports no domestic coronavirus infections for
the first time. Anyway, to deal with all of this,
we have GOP minority leader in the House, Kevin McCarthy
with us. How are you, congressmen. I understand two members
now have tested positive for corona. Yes, we've got two

(37:52):
Mario Diez Billard from Florida Republican, and then we got
to Ben McAdams out of Utah Democrat. And we have
some members who are around them self quarantine themselves. None
of them have any symptoms. Though, what of this idea?
Do we ever get to a point where members could
vote from home? You know, you'd have to change the

(38:12):
rules to do that. We've done some research on that
in the past when it came to the Spanish flu
and others. There's a way you can pass something by
unanimous consent, but everybody'd have to agree to it. So
we're looking at different options. Talking to the speaker about
how can we make sure to have this happen that
we can come back and vote. Because the Senate is

(38:33):
working on another package now. We want to make sure
that package is what is needed. We want to make
sure we have timelines in there, but we want to
really focus on small businesses, those employees, making sure they're
staying working and getting to the need that they need
right now. I don't think there's anybody as fiscally conservative
as I am. This is the country, though, that rebuilt Europe.

(38:55):
This is the country that beat back fascism, Nazism, imperial Japan, communism,
and radical Islamism. We pay the price constantly and the
world benefits. I always say there's never been a country
in the history of the world but the US that
has accumulated more powers. Barry Farber says, abuse it less.
I say that has also used it to advance the

(39:17):
human condition more than this one. So we have the
first bill and they're arguing about abortion in the House.
That was the Democrats that that bill is talking about
four hundred and thirty five million for global health programs
not to help Americans, three hundred million international disaster assistance,
two hundred and sixty four million diplomatic programs, one hundred

(39:38):
million worldwide Security Protection, two hundred and fifty million Economics
Support Fund. Can we just please focus on corona related
workers and industries and small business people and big industries
that are impacted by this? Why does Congress do this
every time? Well, you saw what we were able to
do with that bill and change in that bill before
it came to the floor. We put a sunset. We

(39:59):
took the abortion language out of that. We put the
hide which high amendment that's been there for so long,
protecting taxpayer money not going for that. We gave options
for small businesses less than fifty We made sure that
we gave the ability for the Labor Secretary Treasury Secretary
to write regulations so they'd have to come back, giving

(40:19):
flexibility greater to small businesses. We gave small businesses advancement
on the money so they could actually pay their employees.
But the changes that we had to make that started
with the speaker of what they try to do each
and every time they try to grab legislation that can
never pass in the middle of a crisis and put
it in. We made them focus just on the coronavirus

(40:40):
that that was the only thing we made lot to share.
They're free testing. And the other thing that your listeners
really have to understand, you know, this crisis we have
when it comes to masks. Well, we wanted three M
because they have these millions of more masks that are
industrial lee made, but they could work for our nurses
and others. They just will get sued if we don't
change it to allow them to sell it to I mean,

(41:04):
that's the red tape that I mean. I thought today
it was very, very hopeful today. I thought today was
a big step talking about chloroquinn and rim dissevere and
convalescent plasma. One yes, and so we tried to get
that legislation in the supplemental the very first bill. The
Democrats wouldn't let us. Luckily we got it into the

(41:25):
second one. So now millions and more master there. But
I thought the press conference was very good today. I
talked to the President in between his two meetings, and
here's a guy who is definitely never sleeping and I
think he has the right team sitting in there. When
you watch this, But think about this, it took us
two years to get to the clinical one testing level

(41:46):
for a vaccine when it was stars. We are already there.
There are people in Washington State that are already being
injected with the vaccine being tested. That's unbelievable. You've got
these therapies from Gileads and the other watching that how
to best treat that, and that was the focus of
this president and the FDA and others. And remember President

(42:07):
Trump was the one and I got the phone calls.
He pushed us to be able to change the FDA
to allow people who are who are sick and at
the last stages to have the right to try. Meaning
there is a drug out there, but it hasn't been
to prove, but it's very promising gone through the test.
You can try it if you want to be able
to save your life. That is going to be able

(42:29):
to move and save people's lives, just like with this
president making that decision early on to not allow those
planes from China to come to America. Now, the World
Health Organization saying the epicenter is Europe. You know why,
because their leadership didn't do the same thing that President
Trump did and people criticize them for it. Are you

(42:49):
getting emails as I am that there are, for example,
people that have been on Church missions that still can't
get out of Peru, that there are Americans on being
held on some of these cruise ships and they can't
get out. I know it may sound individually, but I
hate any American caught anywhere and what can we do

(43:11):
to help these people? You know, I did get an
email like that today. There are pockets around the world
Americans can come back home and we're working through that.
It's sometimes it's becomes a challenge with that country itself,
but we work through that. I've talked to at the
very beginning of this when we were bringing Americans back
from China, working personally with Secretary Pompeyo, taking a hands

(43:36):
on approach getting individuals out, and sometimes it's the country
allowing them out, because you'll have a situation that maybe
there is an American citizen and the spouse is here
on a visa and that country is holding them up.
But this is something that they've been working through. And
you you were right, Sean when you talk about what
the compassion of America. If China had allowed our scientists,

(43:58):
our researchers, and our doctor is in at the very beginning,
we could have contained this in China because there's a
prime example memory Bola, which is even more deadly. What's
happening in Africa here we are even in Congress. We
appropriated money. Why because it was smart to keep it
contained in Africa. And you know what the American from
the NIH and the CDC was able to do contain it.

(44:20):
And now we have a vaccine for it and we're
safe from it had China. And this is where America
is going to save the I'm telling you what's going
to happen. We are going to save the world again.
Do you have a couple of minutes to hang with
us or you gotta run? I do all right. Kevin McCarthy,
GOP leader House of Representatives, talk more about the aid
that as much needed for American workers in industry, big

(44:41):
small businesses across the country. I know I have so
many friends of mine. I'm worried about waiters, waitresses, people
that are in industries that are getting clobbered here and
the long term help that they deserve has to be
forthcoming quickly in the right help, all right. Kevin McCarthy
was called anual meeting and he said he'll come back
anytime we want. We appreciate his time Wendy in Florida.

(45:05):
You have a daughter that has an immune disorder, it
says on my screen, and she's tried chloroquin, so heython, thanks, great, great.
So she took hydrox of chloroquin when she was a
baby and she had some autoimmune issues and it was
a fantastic drug. There was never a single side effect,
and it was very affordable. Well, that's everything that they're saying,

(45:29):
especially the only it's one without side effects that they
know of it. It's now been around since nineteen forty five.
All good stuff. The only potential downfall side effect is
a very very high doses that could impact sight. But
they're not the therapeutic levels we're talking about. Are nothing

(45:50):
near the doses that would would pose that kind of risk.
And yes, even pregnant women, according to the study that
I've read from earlier, and young children can and do
use it. You're confirming that how long did she take
it for? So she took it for about two years
and her eyes were monitored closely. We went monthly um
to have her eyes checked, to even send them an

(46:11):
MRI on her orbit and everything is fine. She's she's fine.
You know what I'm I'm glad to hear that. I mean,
there isn't there's nothing scarier as a parent. Right then
when your kids are sick. Nothing life stops when your
kids are sick. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm glad she's okay.
How old is she? Know? So she's laving now and
she's actually in a fuller mission. So we're living the

(46:33):
best life. Oh that's awesome. Oh, by the way, did
you hear what I said to my daughter? Oh, glad
you and your friends are afraid of germs, fraid of viruses,
because any boy you'll ever meet has tons of germs
and viruses. Uh, daughter, Yeah, she just said that she
was leaving. Very funny, Daddy. I thought it was hilarious,

(46:53):
But what do I know? Uh, thank you. I'm glad
your daughter's fine. When do you send our best? God
bless her? And this is showing amazing prospects. I'll explain
we went into chloroquinn. I'll explain convalescent plasma and what
that would do. Next, I clad you with us twenty
five to the top of the hour. We're gonna do
something we haven't done. And I know a lot of
you probably have questions. Well, we'll talk to our medical

(47:14):
experts a team and maybe we'll take a few calls
if you have any specific questions you want to ask
them that maybe I'm not asking. I'm trying to get
as many in as I can. So oh, a couple
of new news items. Drive in movies are making a
comeback because of coronavirus. Now, remember you, I bet a

(47:35):
lot of you don't even know what a drive in
movie is, which is funny, But there are three hundred
and five drive in theaters now across the USA, owners
in California, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, LA Times reporting that attendance
on the rise, although attendance of movie theaters like was

(47:58):
it at all time low. I guess they're probably close
them down by now. Anyway. We have one guy quoted
in here his family is owned California's Paramount drive in
for seven decades, said the ticket sales had been at
least double the amount from the previous Tuesday, and that
theater sold three and twenty tickets that day. Family indoor

(48:18):
theaters were closed. I guess just two days earlier a
welcome relief for families looking for a getaway. And now
we have two people that Rick Wilson idiotic comment about
Melania and then we had the attack against Ivanka. I mean,
these people can't help themselves. They can't help themselves. They
care not to help themselves. But I thought that was

(48:41):
an interesting side note to things. Domino's Pizza they projected
they're going to hire and maybe this is information you
can use, approximately ten thousand workers in response to the
coronavirus pandemic amid increased demand for food delivery, our corporate
franchise stores want to make sure that they're not only
feeding people, but providing opportunity for those looking for work

(49:03):
at this time. I order a local pizza place by
me Marios all the time. I love those guys, go
in and see them all the time, and thankfully they
have a well known delivery business. You might want to
also check with whatever your favorite restaurant happens to be,
because I know a couple of my favorite restaurants and

(49:25):
I mentioned it on Twitter and got the crappiet out
of me over the weekend because I support what they're
doing is the waiters are the ones that are delivering
the food, and you may want to think about tipping
them if you can, if you can afford it, because
half their income is now gone at least and some
are being laid off. So you might want to check
if your favorite place is delivering food wherever you like

(49:47):
to go. I like to go to different places. I
like steak and I like I like Italian food, that's
what I like. I do like Chinese food too, and
there's a place in town that I use all the time.
I love wonderful people and they work so hard when
I go and pick up. I don't know if you've
ever watched people the quantity of food that is produced,

(50:10):
at least in the Chinese restaurant I go to. I mean,
he's massive, and I watched they got the system down
and the amount of food that they're cranking out on
any given night and then delivering, it's unbelievable. And it
got this whole system where they keep it clean, and
I mean it's amazing skill and it's like, you know,
an average day, and they feed so many of us.

(50:32):
So that's good news. If you can call your local
restaurants when be proactive, see if they're open, and maybe
you could just order in and have a family dinner
and put a couple of movies on Netflix or what
is it Apple, there's Hulu, there's Netflix Prime Video, Amazon Prime.
You know another thing that we have to remind our
audience about Yellowstone, Oh my gosh, that was you're obsessed

(50:54):
with that show. What's the other one? You're obsessed with
Life Below Zero? Well, now that I've been kind of
over for a while, I still like it. But I
watched them all. The other one love Wicked Tuna and
I love what's the nat g o One about the
guys that are fishing in the you know, crabbers Don's catch. Oh,

(51:15):
you gotta watch that. I want to be I want
to I want to captive one of those ships. One day.
We'll make you. We'll make you the first lead. Yeah,
you'll be the first mate. I'll be up in the
warm cabin driving the boat. I mean they have they
have swells that are like thirty feet up in the air,
and you're watching these guys and then I mean it's

(51:35):
sometimes it's so heartbreaking. They'll pull up their crab traps
is nothing and then all of a sudden they pull
them up and it's full to the brim. And then
the next one's full to the brim. And yeah, you're like,
come on, let's go. I get so excited watching those shows.
We get Tuna when the Dragon and nat Tuna. I
love it. I love all those guys. I'd love to
own one of those boats. I love to run one

(51:56):
of those boats. I'd love to be on one of
those boats. It's a lot less strustful than being on
this place. Like you have your retirement planned, I don't know.
I can charter a lot of those acts. The problem is,
I'm going to be throwing up every day for like
the first year before my body, just to the swells
that these guys go through every day. They actually have
a thing called a gyro that stabilizes the boat. Now

(52:20):
doesn't work. Yeah, No, I'm not worried about rolling over,
worried about my stomach rolling over again and again with
twenty foot swells. Okay, so moving on. I've got some
information for our audience. Go ahead. You know, I want everybody,
if you have an elderly neighbor or family member, to

(52:42):
check out your local supermarkets because they're designating blocks of
time for older people who might be more susceptible to
COVID nineteen to food shop without being scared for their life.
So those news I like today, and those news I
didn't like. I didn't like now that we are seeing
hospitalizations younger people. I didn't like that at all, because

(53:03):
that was not the case. This is well, the first
time I read this, it seemed to be isolated to
a couple of people in I think, Great Britain. I
think I saw in the Delhi mail and then a
doctor was writing about it. But the percentages here are
much higher. And I've got to get doctor Fauci back
on and ask him, well, why are we seeing younger
people here where we didn't see it before? Because he's

(53:26):
been on this program so many times. Anyway, But anyway,
pretty amazing stuff going on. Oh all right, let me
so the president. So the bad news is about oh,
now younger people. We have to watch out for it.
By the way, young people, pay attention. You don't want
to get this virus. But the good news is that

(53:47):
the President with the FDA, we are seeing tremendous results
in the use of chlora Quinn's a drug that's been
around since nineteen forty five. It's used to stop malaria,
and we are now seeing that it acts number one
and as a preventative or prophylactic to prevent contraction and
number two. If you have it, they're seeing dramatic improvements

(54:09):
in CT scans of the lungs, shorter hospital stays, and
having a dramatic impact there. Now, the other one that
we discussed earlier is I'm sorry, rim disavere, which is
an RNA inhibitor, and they've used it with ebola and
SARS and they've had great early success with that. Again,

(54:29):
like with chloroquinn, younger people can use it, even pregnant women. Again,
I'm reading from scientific study today. I'm not doctor Hannity,
check for yourself. But also i mean South Korea has
shown it, France has shown it, and China, if you
believe anything from China, they've been saying the same thing.
And then they talked about with the President today with

(54:51):
the FDA officials. This is great because if we can
now prevent people from getting or contracting the virus, that
stops the spread of the virus. Then the second thing
is if people if we can eliminate their symptoms that
much faster, and it's having that big of an impact.
And we know in the case of chloroquin that it
is not dangerous to people because they've had it since
nineteen forty five. Unless it's taken a ridiculously high doses.

(55:14):
The therapeutic levels we're looking at now are nowhere near
the doses that would be impactful for eyesight. Again, I'm
referring to the study that I mentioned earlier that would
be great. The other thing they mentioned is what's called
convalescent plasma. This is where Linda's going to lose her mind,
and I'm just guessing, I don't know yet where. It's
been listed as a therapeutic method by China's National Health Commission,

(55:36):
and people who recovered from COVID nineteen corona would have
antibodies against the virus, and what they're doing is they
take those antibodies from somebody that already had corona and
they infuse the antibodies to critically ill patience and that
increases dramatically the chances of their survival. And the plasmas

(56:00):
and transfused it contains the antibodies, which makes a lot
of sense. And they've done this with other diseases in
the past as well, and the company had collected plasma
from some of the recovered patients to prepare these therapeutic products,
including convalescent plasma and immune globulin and plasma has now

(56:20):
taken from recovered patients in Wuhansen's January twentieth and has
been given more than a dozen patients. Initially, three critically
ill patients in a hospital in Wuhan that got the
plasma treatment survived and additional ten patients received the treatment
since then, and they are saying the patients that got
the plasma therapy have showed improvement in the clinical symptoms

(56:42):
within twelve to twenty four hours after being given the therapy.
So that is a huge development as well, because we're
watching eleven thousand, two hundred and seventy four cases in
the US, one hundred and fifty seven deaths worldwide, two
hundred and thirty seven, nine hundred ninety six cases, nine
eight hundred nineteen deaths. You know, remember the pandemic and

(57:05):
one h one to quote Joe Biden from the Biden
Bama administration, you know, the thing, the thing that guy.
But anyway, we had over five hundred thousand, close to
five hundred and seventy five thousand deaths worldwide. We had
hundreds of thousands of Americans as it relates to swine flu,

(57:25):
that contracted swine flukes that were hospitalized from swine flu.
You know, anywhere between twelve thousand, four hundred sixty nine
died just in the first year alone, and then we
had sixty point eight million Americans that contracted swine flu.
It was no travel band, there was no urgency like
we have today. That's why a lot of this is

(57:47):
going to be game changing. We put together a timeline
all actually the Washington Times, I gotta give credit. We
we took a lot of it from them. They did
a great job. And when you started December thirtieth when
they discovered this virus with pneumonia like symptoms, and January seventh,
to CDC finally gave it a name, and that was coronavirus.

(58:10):
And January seventeenth, the CDC began implementing public health entry
screening at major airports. And then January twentieth, doctor Fauci,
we've had on this program a lot, announced an effort
to develop the vaccine, which we had now the stage
one trials of January twenty first, the first case in
the United States, was also the day the CDC activated

(58:32):
its Emergency Operations Center. And January thirty first, the President
declares a public health emergency. That's ten days after the
first person known case in America. That's how quickly he acted.
That's when Joe said he was hysterically xenophobic and a fearmongerer.
Ten days after amazing. You know, the President in the

(58:54):
State of the Union will take all necessary steps. He's
been on message the whole time. January eleventh, Health and
Human Services expanded a partnership with different research and development
firms to expedite the development of a vaccine. I mean
all of this in record time. Administration sent a letter
to Congress requesting the early moneies in February. Then they
announced a Level four travel advisory. Then they expanded it

(59:18):
to Italy, South Korea, Iran. Then the CDC lifted restrictions
for coronavirus testing to allow Americans to be tested subject
to doctors orders. Now we have you know, these drive
up centers, I mean things that listen. I don't know.
As long as we can get the needed medical supplies
and everything else and everything online, it's going to get

(59:39):
worse before it gets better. You're going to hear about
you know, thousands and thousands of more Americans that contracted it.
That's why this fifteen day period is so crucial to
stop it, mitigate it, and then hopefully these new treatments
that they are in record time. I mean the President
basically took an axe to the FDA to day and said,

(01:00:01):
we're doing it. And because there's no dangerous side effects
that we know of. Well, the drug that's better FDA
approof since nineteen forty five, and that we've been using
since nineteen forty five, it's been around since nineteen forty five.
Let's say hi to Chris and Missouri. Hey, Chris, how
are you? And thanks for taking my call. Sean, Hey,

(01:00:22):
thank you. How are you doing well. I'm doing pretty
good so far, hanging in there, let you know, oh
you know, just hanging in there, trying to get by
one day at a time. I just want to give
you a short story about that, and thanks for everything
you're doing. I'm a long time listener and a big
fan of yours. But my son, he's twenty one now,
he goes to Missoo and when he was younger, we

(01:00:46):
found out that he had winter asthma really bad. So
every year they gave him the chloroquine and in matter
of days it was it was all better. Now he
still has the as but not bad. But every year
they would give that to him, and I'll tell you what.
He could sleep at night. And then when he came
down with pneumonia, they gave it to him then along

(01:01:09):
with the steroid, and I'll tell you what, that cleared
him right up. So it's a wonderful How old was
he when he first started using it, Chris Oh, I
would say he was in kindergarten, so he would have
been about five or six years old, because at night
he couldn't sleep because of the cough. And it was
just in the fall winter time. Then in the summertime
he was just fine. But they gave it to him

(01:01:30):
at that age, and I'll tell you what, it just
cleared him right up. I mean he had to have it.
And how old is you know him? You know what
that means? Now? That means you have no more control.
I have a twenty one year old You know what?
You don't say, I haven't anything nothing, you know. I
describe myself a life as an ATM machine. That's how

(01:01:51):
I just kidding. I like, How'm an ATM machine? My
daughter wasn't kidding. She barely knows what I do for
a living. She really doesn't which is fine with me. Yeah,
I've been Kansas City, Missouri right now, and they found
a guy in our building that had traveled from Ohio
to here. And now I guess our buildings infected. That

(01:02:12):
we just found out today and we're downtown Kansas City,
So I don't know what's going to happen to us.
But you know, you can spray anti virals and planes.
You can spray them in public spaces, you can spray
them in hotel rooms. I've been reading all about it
and apparently they have they work really well. That is
great news on your son. What a great story. And
you know what, if people now are worried, that's great

(01:02:35):
to hear people that have actually used it. And we
appreciate your sharing it with us, and I share your
Missouri twenty one is the worst year. When do they
get to thirty. That's when I'll be happy thirty and
you know all the BS is gone. I'm looking for
that forward to that day. If you've been exposed to
coronavirus and you're better, you don't have the virus in
your blood, we could collect the blood. Now, this is

(01:02:57):
a possible treatment. This is not a proven tree and
just want to emphasize that collect the blood, concentrate that,
and have the ability once it's pathogen free, that is,
virus free, be able to give that to other patients
and the immune globulins the immune response could potentially provide
a benefit to patients. It's another thing that we're looking at.
Over the next couple of weeks, we'll have more information

(01:03:19):
that we're really pushing hard to try to accelerate that
that's in this sort of more medium short term and
that will be a bridge to other therapies that will
take us three to six months to develop. And this
is a continuous process. There is no beginning and end
to each of this. This is you know, we're pushing
this through, all right. That was the FDA Commissioner gladuate

(01:03:40):
with those news round up and information overload. Our Stephen Hahn,
FDA Commissioner, talking about chloroquine and this new plasma possibility
as treatments and one other drug as I mentioned earlier
today and cutting all FDA red tape. But to show
an enormous promise, I've gone through all the technical aspects
of this throughout the show today, but to give us

(01:04:02):
more of a medical perspective, we have doctor Peter Constantino,
brain surgeon, was the head of the New York Head
and Neck Institute, and here to discuss also Betsy McCoy,
former Lieutenant governor New York, also chairwoman of the Committee
to Reduce Infectious Deaths. All right, doctor Constantino, we've seen

(01:04:23):
great promise in a lot of these areas. Can you
go into this, for example, this malaria drug which is
shown promise in China, South Korea and other places. What
are your thoughts? Well, first, Ron, thank you for having
me on the show. And Betsey, it's a real privilege
to be on with you. Having said that, you know,
poor quine is it was developed in nineteen forty six.

(01:04:46):
It's one of the original antibiotics, and it was excused
for years and still is for many forms of malaria.
And it's also used for room and twitter ritis, lupus,
show grins to drome, and these are autoimmune diseases. And
it seems that the chloroquine has two effects, both of
which are potentially very valuable against the coronavirus. One is

(01:05:11):
that it may be virus cydal where it actually kills
the virus or helps it stop from replicating. And I
think most people know that virus is unlike bacteria, which
can replicate themselves. Viruses inject their material into a cell
and then hijack a human cell to start making viruses
for them, and that's how the cells are damaged. So

(01:05:31):
the chloroquine and hydroxy chlorquin seem to interfere with this,
but they also do another thing. They're in an anti inflammatory,
and that's why they're useful with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
And one of the problems that really critically ill patients
with coronavirus infection have is that they get cytokine storm,

(01:05:52):
which is their body attacking itself, and so the chloroquine
also stops the cytokine storm to some degree. Great analysis,
and from what I hear in the doses that they're
talking about four or five hundred milligrams, there is risk,
but it's reduced taken in larger quantities. Doctor Constantino, My
understanding is it can have a negative or detrimental impact

(01:06:16):
on eyesight, etc. It's a very rare complication because the
drug can bind to the pigments in your retina that
are around the area called the macula, and the macula
is the most sensitive area of the retina that allows
you to see. And everybody's heard of maculate degeneration, and
this can cause a pharmacologic type of macular degeneration, but

(01:06:38):
it's very rare. The other things that can cause are pinitis,
which is ringing in the ears, and deafness. But the
hydroxychlorquin seems to have a much lower side effect profile
than standard chloroquine. And as an example, the hydroxychorquine is
also called paquinyl, and paquinyl is used by many many
people who have lupus and so forth, and they take

(01:07:00):
it for years with out any side effects. So this
is a gift from God that's such a cheap, such
a long standing antibiotic that was never designed for this
virus may not only effectively treat the virus and keep
it from replicating, but may also treat some of the
other symptoms associated with the intense inflammation that can destroy

(01:07:24):
your lungs, particularly in the younger people. All right, Betsy mccoile,
let's get your take on. These developments sound very promising
to me, and frankly, people want this kind of hope absolutely,
and that's why we have optimism Sean even in the
middle of a crisis like this. From the beginning, we
could see that the answer here is human ingenuity, scientific inquiry.

(01:07:48):
You know, when the coronavirus first struck, literally just four
months later we knew the entire genetic makeup of that virus.
It took us years to get that far with AIDS.
So the scientists are going to rescue us from this.
I'm very optimistic about this particular discovery. I have to
study right here on my desk, And when this French

(01:08:10):
doctor first tried this, he found with just twenty patients
that seventy percent of them were considered cured after six
days on hydroxy chloroquine. So clearly it has a very
promising impact. It's early on, but thank goodness, the FDA
has discarded most of its very very serious regulatory hurdles

(01:08:35):
and gone right ahead and approved this because patients who
are lying in bed now on a ventilator don't want
any delays. They want to be treated. Okay, pretty fascinating
stuff that we're all watching here as it relates to
the plasma that the FDA had Commissioner was saying earlier today, Pete,
how do you doctor Peter should say I should give

(01:08:55):
you credit for being a brain surgeon. How do you
feel about this? What are they call convalescent plasma as
a possible treatment, So convalescent plasma, I think most people
actually have been made familiar with it by movies like
The Omega Man with Charles Heston and I Am Legend
with Will Smith, where the guy who is immune to

(01:09:17):
the virus, you know, the answers in his blood and
that blood is the plasma. And that's essentially what we're
talking about here is that people who get infected and
then get better, they have antibodies against this virus that
have been successfully produced by that patient that can be
harvested and turned into a type of drug. And this
process is already FDA approved. The only question isn't going

(01:09:41):
to work? And we've used it in other types of
exposure scenarios like hepatitis and so forth, and it may
be very valuable, particularly for our healthcare workers as a
preventative of prophylactic So you give them this convalescent plasma
in a concentrated dose and it makes them much more
resistant to getting the virus. A lot has to be

(01:10:04):
done to figure this out. But between the remdissevere and
the core quin and the hydroxy coor quin and convalescent plasma,
and then the vaccine. We're gonna get through this. Well,
let me, Betsy, I want to ask you this. This
is why the President's Right to Try initiative was so
pivotal to me and transformative. If i want to try

(01:10:27):
experimental treatments and I'm in a situation where you know,
I'm not allowed to excuse me, it's my life, my body,
and if I see promise, potentially some promising treatments or
therapy for whatever it is I'm dealing with, I'd like
the right to do that. Your reaction to the convalescent plasma,
Betsy McCoy, Oh, of course. I think it's also extremely promising,

(01:10:51):
and it follows a pattern that we've seen in medical
science again and again. There are two more new pieces
of data that should really turn our heads as we're
battling this coronavirus. The first is new data right out
of the CDC that says, contrary to what everyone thought
at the beginning, younger adults are very vulnerable to coronavirus.

(01:11:15):
Thirty five percent of those who were ill enough to
require hospitalization in the US are under fifty five years
of age and let me let me interrupt you, Eli,
because we've been talking about this today and you're right,
this is new. This is not what we were told
in the very beginning about this, and that then becomes

(01:11:35):
a big part of it. Up to twenty percent of
people hospitalized with coronavirus in the US, we're now discovering
our young adults, that was not what we were told
between the ages of twenty and forty four. New federal
study and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also
while the risk of dying is significantly higher and older people,

(01:11:55):
they are saying at the CDC that younger people are
making up a big portion of high spilizations. And it
goes beyond that. We're talking about forty four years of age,
twenty percent, eighteen percent between the ages of forty five
and fifty four. But yeah, the overwhelming majority are still older.

(01:12:17):
But those were not numbers we had heard until really today,
and that should be a powerful secondary argument to encourage
those younger people who are flouting our appeal to stay home,
shelter in place, avoid social gatherings, help us beat this
virus by not allowing it to spread. Right, they're ignoring

(01:12:39):
a lot of that. The older people in their fifties
and sixties and seventies are lying awake at night wondering
if this is how they're going to die. The younger
people are much more worried about whether their vacations canceled,
whether they're still going to get their paycheck, how they're
going to get their groceries, who's going to take care
of their kids when school is out. But they need
to focus on the medical side of this, and this

(01:13:00):
added information will help them. The other piece of information
that should be very persuasive is that new data show
that the most contagious people are the ones on day's
one to five. In other words, before you have symptoms,
you're more contagious. You're shedding more of the virus than

(01:13:21):
you will later on. So when you hear the CDC
say if you don't feel well, stay home, even if
you do feel well, stay home, you could still be
very infectious to others around you. Before I get to
doctor Pete on the issue of these younger kids, there
was one other There were three issues that were brought
up by the President of the FDA today today that's

(01:13:42):
rem dissevere. Also, your take on that okay, So M
dissevere is is an RNA inhibitor, and so know ourselves
have DNA in them, which is the genetic material that
tells you whether or not you're going to be a
dog or a human or whatever. Viruses liberals and I'm
a dog, but go ahead, I got it. Viruses have

(01:14:04):
either DNA or RNA in them, and the coronaviruses or
RNA viruses, and the rediscity your interferes with the ability
of the RNA in the virus once it's injected into
your cells to be converted into DNA that could then
take over the cell. So it makes virus and it's
very promise. It was used for Ebola. It was successful

(01:14:25):
with Stars, who in this virus originally came out the
coronavirus was referred to as STARS variant, and it shares
genetic components with it. So there's a lot of reason
to believe that rim disappear is going to work. The
trouble with it, it's early, you know, it's very I
don't mean to interruption. Well, we'll get back to rim disaverere.
We'll get back to what is convalescent plasma and chloroquine

(01:14:48):
or chloroquin, depending on how you pronounce it. And we'll
take a break. We'll come back more with doctor Pete
Moore with Betsy McCoy right as we continue with doctor
Peter Constantina, he's actually uh the he's a real break sorry,
New York Headneck Institute director and also Betsy McCoy, a
former Lieutenant governor New York chairwoman of the Committee to

(01:15:08):
Reduce Infection Deaths. You know, it's a very simple thing,
Peter Constantino that I asked your last night, doctor Pete,
and that was, you know, there are only five places
that this virus can ever enter your body. What does
that mean for people that want to protect themselves? Gloves, masks,
the proper use thereof purell, etc. So you're actually right,

(01:15:30):
there's five doorways. It's each eye, your nostrils, and your mouth.
And if that virus doesn't get in through those goalways
you're not going to get the virus. You're not going
to get sick. And during this time period of the
next few months between where we're at now and when
we have these other agents available that can disrupt the
ability of the virus to continue, you need to depend

(01:15:53):
upon keeping the virus out of your eyes, nose and mouth.
So number one is you don't touch your face. You
don't touch your eyes. That is the most effect way
of transmit admitting it other than droplets in the air. Additionally,
you want to clean your hands frequently what you've heard,
But I believe wearing gloves is really an important thing.
And you can buy those nitrole gloves a pack of

(01:16:13):
a hundred of them for about five dollars. And when
you put them on your hands in their purple or
black or whatever, not only does it keep your hands clean,
but it helps you keep from touching your face. We
involuntarily touch our face and eyes and nose all the time.
And for me, when I'm out, I wear those gloves
because it reminds me don't touch your face. And then

(01:16:33):
when you look at surfaces and you realize that the
virus can persist for three days on metal surfaces, six
hours on fabric, twelve hours on cardboard. You go to
the grocery store, you're coming into contact with all that.
Who knows how many people have been there. Let me
ask some follow up. Then, would you then recommend to
my audience? And I want my audience safe and secure
in their families healthy. Obviously, we've said that from day one,

(01:16:55):
would you recommend people be wearing gloves and masks as
a daily part of the life of the time being,
I personally, for me and for my family, believe that
the gloves are actually more effective, more important because one
you're in they're easily available, they're not in short supply.
In contrast, the N ninety five and N one hundred
masks that you wear are in short supply, and our

(01:17:17):
healthcare workers need those. The surgical masks you see people wearing,
particularly in Asia. Putting a scarf around here your face,
it does nothing. It doesn't keep the virus particles out,
it doesn't keep the droplets out. It does nothing. And
not only that, you're only going to get exposed within
six to ten feet of somebody who's recently cost or
sneezed because because there's droplets in the air. In contrast,

(01:17:39):
we come in contact with surfaces. All right, there are handing.
I'll tell you what we'll do, and we haven't done
this before. But if you want to call on you
have any medical questions or safety questions for you and
your family will continue. Doctor Peter Constantino, Betsy McCoy eight
hundred and nine four one Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program, we'll do a little
ask the doctor ask, well, this is the doctor Hannity

(01:18:01):
segment that we've done over the years, not the exact
same thing. Quick break, we'll come back. We'll continue an
amazing Hannity nine Eastern tonight, Facts without fear, news information
you won't get with panic hyposteria, just truth. And these
developments today are massive. We will continue all right twenty
five to the top of the hour, eight hundred ninety
four one sewn you want to be a part of

(01:18:22):
the program. Now we've taken calls from people if you
have any specific medical questions. Doctor Peter Konstantino's with us,
Betsy McCoy is with us. Would you advise people Pete
whether or not doctor Pete, they should be wearing masks
and gloves every day and the Betsy will let you
answer after Pete. So, my son I said, you got
to wear gloves whenever you ye go out, and he's like,

(01:18:43):
I hate wearing these gloves. You know, how do I
scratch my nose? That one idea I would care, So
I think the gloves are actually more important in changing transmissions.
That's the I'd love your perspective. Absolutely. I'm wearing gloves
every time I go out. I have to tell you,
I'm going out very seldom. I'm in a high risk category,
so I'm avoiding going out. And I have my daughter

(01:19:04):
here who's about to give birth, so of course I
wouldn't want to bring this coronavirus into our household. And
that raises a really important thing. I'm sure all of
us saw the tragic picture of the Fusco family from
New Jersey. It was they were pictured on almost every
newspaper today. The matriarch of the family, a mother of nine.

(01:19:26):
She contracted coronavirus at a family party along with two
of her children. None of them knew they were carrying
the coronavirus. One of them had worked with somebody who
had the coronavirus but didn't know it. And that really
underscores the importance of not getting together, even with your
own family members and a big group like that, because

(01:19:48):
they had no idea they would be killing their brothers
and sisters. But that's exactly what happened. Unbelievable. All right,
Let's get to a couple of calls here. We'll start
in Canada. Kevin and Canada's well, US borders are closed,
but we're friends, are good friends in Canada, our friends
to the north. Just out of an abundance of caution.
What's up, Kevin? Say hi to doctor Peter Constantino and

(01:20:10):
Betsy McCoy. Ah, Hi, guys, A quick question. I didn't
want to shut up to Trump for closing the borders,
but I'm a marathon runner and I want to know
if you have a higher view to max because it's
a respiratory illness, does it give you a better chance
at Because I'm fifty four years old, I'm not young,

(01:20:31):
I'm not old. Do I have a better chance of
fighting it? Often to say perhaps somebody who's said it
after of course, of course you do. This is a
lung disease, so the healthier your lungs are, the better
your chance. It doesn't mean you won't get infected, but
you can battle the virus better. Smokers are extremely vulnerable.

(01:20:51):
Vapors are not doing well. But if you ever that's
actually not true. There was an article about a medical
study that showed that of vaping, the whatever propootball something
chloride in a vape is actually preventing people from getting well.
I saw that. I saw that Sean don't speak out
against my vaping. I like vaping. Sean that that propylene

(01:21:14):
glycol is not proven. He also has other side effects.
I don't think we can do vaping therapeutic. I think
it's extremely therapeuter for me only nobody else. All right,
go ahead. You wanted to weigh in Anthony Fauci, whom
we see on TV every day. He's really leading this
effort in a heroic way. He is a real runner,

(01:21:37):
and he's seventy nine, and he attributes his stamina, his
ability to continue to really marshal this effort in part
to his running. He's been great by the way he's
done in six presidentcies. Now, Sir Pete, you want to
weigh in on the marathon runner. By the way, Kevin,
I'm jealous. I could not be a marathon runner. I'd
be bored out of my mind. But go ahead. So

(01:22:00):
I agree with everything you said. And technically, as far
as our calling is concerned, he has a better chance
because he's got with pulmonary function. But here's a cautionary tale,
and this relates to our young people. Also, how you
do with this virus isn't just dependent upon your underlying conditions,
it's also dependent upon your genetics. And some of us

(01:22:21):
when we get infected with a virus, overproduced cytokindes. Cytokinds
are chemicals that are very toxic both to bacteria and
a viruses, but also to our own cells. And many
times those cytokinds can get out of control, called a
cytokine storm, and those are the people that get into
really bad trouble with their lungs because their bodies attacking
their lungs. And that's what a corequine can be helpful

(01:22:42):
because it's also anti inflammatory. And we have a resident
who's thirty one years old who got infected with no
underline conditions, have been intubated for two days, otherwise healthy.
And that's not just yeah, that's because the virus also
interacts with your personal genetics. So don't consider yourself, I mean,
because you're a runner. Well said. I hope that answers
your question, Kevin and Canada. Thank you. We go to

(01:23:05):
Shelley in the Great State of Tennessee. Shelley, You're on
the Sean Hannity Show with doctor Peter Constantino and Betsy McCoy. Well, hello,
thank you so much for having me. Thank you. I
have a question. My mom is eighty one. I'm fifty four.
We both got sick right before we had already had

(01:23:28):
one case two cases in Nashville. We both got an
upper respiratory infection where we had fever, We had a
lot of coughing. I actually had a worse case than
my mom did. But i'm Type OH blood. You know,
I'm Type A blood. She's Type OH. And then we
were absolutely exhausted for almost I'm just finally now getting

(01:23:50):
my energy back, and she's still working on getting her
energy back. While I know that there is absolutely no
way you can tell whether or not we've already had coronavirus.
Is there a test available yet to look for the
antibodies to see if maybe we've already had it? Doctor
go ahead, Let me say one thing I do know

(01:24:12):
about this because I have to for my job read
about this. There was there was research that if you
are type A, you have a blood type A blood type,
that there is a greater vulnerability. I did see that
very that those very commons being made. Doctor Pete your thoughts,
So there is a correlation between the type of blood

(01:24:34):
you have and how you're going to respond to various illnesses,
and that relates to the underlying genetic basis for the
interaction between the virus and the host and how they
end up doing. But relative to a test that exists now,
the convalescent plasma would be able to test for that,
but I'm not sure if it's widely available. I don't
think it's the same testing as by any standard as

(01:24:54):
a swab of the nose that's looking for the virus itself.
And so I don't know about the specific of going
and get your blood, getting your blood drawn to see
if you are convalescent and successful in having produced antibodies.
I just don't have that interation. I'd just like to
weigh in and say that you, when everyone else listening,
should pretend that they can still get this spileust if

(01:25:16):
we all access yeah and avoid social interaction, we can
beat it all right. I hope that answers your question, Shelley.
Hope you and your mom feel better and stay healthy. Hey, Sean, Linda, Hi,
may I jump in from a moment as if I
have any choice, go right ahead. So doctor Pete and Betsy,
my friends, I have a question for you myself here,

(01:25:37):
So I just relax. One. So, I have a four
year old, and obviously there was some news out today
that some of the questions around babies toddlers now they
actually might be susceptible. And I'm a little bit concerned
about that. Can you guys elaborate a little bit? I
think you should be concerned. That's what the new data show,
not the data coming out of China, but the data

(01:25:58):
we see in your and in the United States suggest that,
in fact, there's a sweet spot for children between five
and about twelve, but below age five they are vulnerable.
And does it leave permanent marks? I mean, because I'm
hearing about this permanent lung damage, and that's what's really
scaring me. Yeah, it's much less likely that young child

(01:26:19):
is going to have permanent lung damage. Adults, who again
have a much greater cytokine response, they're going to get
that kind of lung damage. But nonetheless, if you look
at the first two thousand kids out of China, six
percent of them became significantly ill with respiratory distress of
some degree, four percent showed nothing, fifty percent got ill,

(01:26:41):
but it wasn't bad, and another forty percent it was moderate.
But six percent is not a small number. And given
the inability of children below the age of five to
engage in any infection control behavior whatsoever, they're at risk period. Yeah,
I mean, I install pure L dispensers in my house,
so my son is like pure every five seconds. He
thinks it's really funny, thinks it's a game. Yeah, no

(01:27:04):
play dates. I haven't had any Eddie about my house.
And then one more point that doctor Pete and I
were talking about, which I know Betsy can also point to,
can you elaborate doctor Pete on what kind of gloves
and the mask? Because people are putting all sorts of
weird gloves on their hands, they're they're coming in in
like full body suits. Like it's I don't even know
what is protocol anymore and what's good and what's helping us,
So there's no formal protocol about gloves. But you know,

(01:27:27):
it's kind of amazing. After the show last night, we've
gotten so many calls and inquiries about gloves and masks
and very basic things that we're going to be doing
a YouTube video just to kind of explain this and
show what works, what doesn't, what you pay attention to,
what you ignore. But I think that the easiest gloves
to get are the Nitrile gloves. That's an I R

(01:27:48):
I L. They come in various colors. They're useful because
you can actually still operate a smart device like a
phone with the touch controls. They're very inexpensive, a box
of one hundred of the US probably five dollars, and
they're not in short supply. And those gloves protect your
hands to some degree from picking up the virus. You

(01:28:09):
have to be careful when you take the gloves off,
but they mainly for me and my family to keep
everybody from touching their face continuous week when they're out.
Well said, let's grab another call here, Missy West Virginia. Missy,
you're on the Sean Hannity Show. Say hi to Betsy McCoy,
doctor Pete Constantino, and doctor Sean and Linda Hi SONI, Linda, Hi, Pete, Hi, Betsy. Okay,

(01:28:31):
I'm glad that you guys are on here because I
have this looting question. We're trying to protect everybody from
getting this disease. Is your immune system not strengthened by
being exposed to things which make what your T cells
in your body say hey, look there's something we need
to act on this. So are we not prohibiting people
from developing immunity to it by not exposing people to it? Question.

(01:28:55):
We're worried about the compromise people getting this. They're compromised
for everything that comes down the pike. Someone who's carrying
TV but who doesn't have it for the next E
Coli breakout, the next listeria breakout, the next almanilla breakout,
they're always don't let's compromise. Let's keep in mind that
one of our major concerns now is that the healthcare

(01:29:18):
system is so overwhelmed with people suffering from coronavirus and
needing serious healthcare infect intensive care unit beds, and ventilators
that part of the reason that we want to create
this social distancing and limit the number of people suddenly
getting infected is that we can't handle them all. There

(01:29:40):
aren't enough hospital beds and nurses and doctors. And when
they say flatten the curve, they mean stretch it out
so that they're our capacity is not overwhelmed by the
number of sick people. Yeah, I think you are also
focusing on shouldn't we let people get infected so that
it better prepares them in this future for other affections

(01:30:01):
to be able to fight it off, And it unfortunately
doesn't work that way. I wish it did, but you're
getting infected with the coronavirus is not going to materially
improve in any way your ability to fight off salmonella
or some other thing. It's very specific to that pathogen,
that virus, that bacteria, and your immunity specific. If you

(01:30:23):
get a tetnis shot, it protects against tetnis, it doesn't
protect against anthrax, and it doesn't cross between the two.
So the big problem is what Betsy said, and it's
the difference between the tide that comes in and out
every day on the beach, which can erode the beach
and can sometimes cause damage, and we prepare for it,
and that's the yearly cyclic influenza, but we're looking at

(01:30:45):
a Katrina like storm surge of patients and it comes in,
it's high volume, it's intense, and it's destructive because it's
still water a virus. It's not that much more damaging
than influenzas about times, but ultimately the amount and the
timing are devastating our healthcare system. So that's why we

(01:31:07):
need to keep people from getting it now. They get
into the future if you protected in the future. But
now is the concern, Missy. Thank you? Quick called Dennis Illinois. Dennis,
you're on the Sean Hannity Show, Doctor Pete Constantino, Betsy
McCoy Real quick or shot on time. Very good. My
wife is a flight attendant and flying all over the country.
Continues to fly as we know airfares. Airlines have not

(01:31:28):
shut down yet, and she's really concerned about the fact
that her protective apparel is limited to none. She can't
wear she's not permitted to wear a face mask. Passengers
are coughing in that she's still flying. They say they're
cleaning the planes, especially at night, but that happens at night.
Why would they prevent her from wearing a mask and gloves?
That's that is just ridiculous. No, she is allowed to

(01:31:51):
wear gloves, but what's happened. She has to bring them
from home because everybody's stealing them. Passengers are actually stealing
toilet paper and hand sanitizer off the planes. Safe time
to be a flight attendant, Very unsafetime i'd agree. I mean,
doctor Peter Constantino, I'm vom morgan Orn Airlines and they
say you can't wear gloves and masks. I'm saying goodbye,

(01:32:14):
and you got to I take a potential lossuit down
the road. Yeah, I'm having trouble with that one. As
far as the risk, I wish I could tell you
that she wasn't at an increased risk, but my assessment
is that she is at a materially increased risk. When
you put droplets in the air, they go six feet
to ten feet minimum, and they can persist for three
hours at altitude. Because it's a very low humidity, the

(01:32:36):
droplets tend to evaporate much more quickly, So there is
some decreased risk inside an aircraft, but ultimately it's greater
than it is on the ground. And I don't think
masks should be prohibited. As far as gloves, they should
all be wearing gloves, and not to mention the fact
that all the surfaces in the up in the airplane
are contaminated by the expression of these droplets. All right,

(01:32:57):
I'm gonna let you both go. You guys, have you
guys have been great? Doctor Pete Constantino, Thank you, Betsy McCoy,
Thank you. All Right, Hannity Tonight nineties, Turn on the
