>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. now, we are tracking two fast-moving stories this hour, both of them deadly. tornados like this one in mississippi have been tearing through the southeastern u.s. and authorities are reporting, quote, catastrophic destruction. right now millions of americans are enduring a long and scary night including us here in atlanta, georgia. we'll have a full report coming up. meanwhile, the world now dealing with close to 2 million confirmed cases of coronavirus as people pray for the worst to

be over. on easter sunday, the u.s. reporting another 2,000 plus fatalities bringing the national death toll to more than 22,000. that's according to johns hopkins university. it's the highest in the world. the head of the american food and drug administration offering a little hope saying models show the u.s. is, quote, very close to its peak, and that he believes the worst may have passed. but some states are bracing for a later peak like texas which is extending its disaster declaration. this is all happening as americans wonder when life can get back to normal and when they can go back to work. president trump offering no clarity. jeremy diamond brings us the latest from the white house. >> reporter: president trump on friday said it could be the biggest decision of his presidency. that is the decision on when to reopen the united states economy. it's a question that has been on president trump's mind this past weekend, this easter weekend,

when president trump initially said he wanted to see the united states economy back open again. that, of course, was before the president decided to extend those social distancing guidelines for the entire month of april. but now the president is once again mulling whether or not to extend those guidelines and whether there's a way that next month he can begin to reopen the economy. but dr. anthony fauci, one of the government's top public health experts, he said on sunday on cnn's state of the union that while he does see the possibility of reopening parts of the economy next month, it can't happen in one fail swoop. >> it is not going to be a light switch that we say okay, it is now, june, july, whatever, click, the light switch goes back on. it's going to be depending where you are in the country, the nature of the outbreak that you already experienced, and the threat of an outbreak that you may not have experience. so, it's having to look at the situation in different parts of the country. i think it's going to have to be

something that is not one size fits all. >> dr. fauci though will be just one of the voices weighing in as president trump mulls this decision. the president is also hearing from other aides inside the administration and advisers outside of the white house who are urging the president to put a date on the calendar for when he can begin to reopen the country. some of those advisers pushing the president to reopen the economy by may 1st. that is something that no public health experts is willing to endorse. one thing is clear from the public health experts perspective is that the united states needs to continue to ramp up testing capacity, not only the test to be able to detect if individuals have the virus but also the serology testing that is designed to detect if the individual has antibodies meaning they've had the virus in the past and built up immunity. that is the question the president has been pondering.

even as the president faces grim realities of this virus he continues to talk about wanting to get the economy open as soon as possible. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. >> the real power to reopen the country of course lies with mayors and governor who is have enacted specific stay-at-home orders, officials like the governors of new mexico and new jersey are speaking out on that life and death decision. >> we're going to make the decisions that safeguard fm hne mexicans. everything we do is about protecting lives and first responders and health care workers. i think this is the problem with not having a national strategy. if this virus is blind to state borders, and if we had better national strategies and better national data and universal testing and software contact tracing, then we can really figure out when opening makes sense and we could actually start to do that in the country.

>> there's a sequence here that we have to abide by, and that is we need a health care recovery, a health recovery first and then the economic recovery. it has to come in that sequencing. and i fear if we open up too early and we have not sufficiently made that health recovery and cracked the back of this virus that we could be pouring gasoline on the fire even inadvertently. >> joining me now emergency medicine physician dr. emily porter. good to see you again, doctor. there are some positive signs with a lot of these curves, but it's true, is it not, that those improvements are because of social distancing measures. speak to the risk of complacency, looking at positive trends and saying okay, it's okay, let's go back to work. >> i think that can be very dangerous. i think that we are 100% mitigating the virus by doing social distancing. if you look at the curves, they are flattening.

it is working. it's slow. we haven't overwhelmed our health care system capacity. and the numbers that they estimated even just a month ago were way worse than what we've seen which does lead a lot of people to say hey, it's not that bad. hey, why are we shutting down the whole world. only 22,000 people died. to which i would say only 22,000 americans have died so far because or in spite of all that we have done. so, opening the country back up again i think is going to depend on a few key things in place that you just alluded to. >> the president says there's no need for nationwide testing. but how can people safely go back to work before there is massive widespread testing? just to see who has it, who's had it in the past, who might be vulnerable. wouldn't that invite another wave. >> absolutely it would. until we have a vaccine, we cannot safely go back to work, go back to easter with our family, go back to the movie

theater, go back to the restaurant. we need ubiquitous testing. and i don't mean the big cities where there are problems. i mean if you live in rural iowa or you live in alaska, you can know without any question you can go into this er and get a test that you can get an answer back in an hour or less. it doesn't do any good to wait ten days to get a test back. it needs to be rapid. it needs to be very sensitive which means that it doesn't miss very many people. if it's only -- if it misses half the people, that's a crappy test. it needs to have 90 plus percent sensitivity we call that, specificity meaning it's specific for the disease we're looking for. it doesn't help if it detects flu and things that's coronavirus for example. then we need good contact tracing. so, that means it's hard to have good contact tracing if you open everything back up at once and you start people on planes. right now i can tell you where i've been in the last week. i'm here.

i was home all day with my family. i went to -- got take out last night. and i went to the grocery store once this week. otherwise, you know, i know where i've been. but if everything just opens up and explodes then we're in trouble because you can't contact trace if everybody just goes back to normal and becomes complacent. >> in the absence of a vaccine, speak to the chances of a revival of the virus when the northern hemisphere winter returns. >> i think it's really hard to speak to that until we have immunity. we need know how many -- if we can't test how many people have active disease, we need to know how many of us have had it. i know i've had it. my husband got night sweats no, fever. he doesn't have criteria for testing. if he had it and i know i had it, and they open things back up, i'm not as worried for my children given what we know about kids, i would be okay going back to a few more things

back normal. maybe not completely back to normal. but until we know immunity or we have a vaccine -- it has to be one or the other. >> and just finally, and quickly, a lot of countries are starting to admit that there has been a pretty large underreporting of both cases and deaths because a lot of people are dying at home. a lot of people aren't being tested postmortem. do you believe that's the case? >> i would rather have us overreport than underreport. i think that we -- i think that we probably do not have as many hopefully missed deaths because anybody who's dying at home needs a death certificate unless they're 100 years old. and right now, there's so much worry about coronavirus, it's on peoples' brains. so, if they're doing more autopsies than normal or if somebody had a fever, if somebody had a cold or pneumonia, they're assuming it was coronavirus and they're testing those people. i think that what we probably have is we're underreporting the

number of cases that we have because we simply don't have the ubiquitous testing that we need. >> yeah. yeah. good point. good to see you, doctor. dr. emily porter, thank you so much. >> thank you, michael. well, as if nerves weren't frayed, an emergencies weren't stretched enough, the southeastern u.s. dealing with another threat. more than two dozen tornados ripped through the region so far on sunday killing at least 7 people. one tornado was on the ground for up to 160 kilometers, tearing apart hundreds of homes. and here's an image of our time. people practicing social distancing at a shelter from the storm. and these storms are far from over yet. let's bring in cnn meteorolog t meteorologist. it's still making its way through. >> it is. you check the local time across these areas that are being impacted. it is into the overnight areas. it makes it more dangerous.

statistically speaking tornadic activity in the overnight areas two times more deadly than daytime hours. this is a dangerous situation into a densely populated region, not only portions of northern alabama where birmingham is impacted and the metro area and into georgia as this storm migrates to the east. want to show you the radar imagery across the region. we've had upwards of 10,000 lightning strikes to tell you about across the region. really speaks to the intensity and severity of these storms. again, it is about midnight local time into the eastern and southeastern united states. so, any of these storms that work their way across the region could catch people off guard and that's what makes these storms dangerous. radar imagery shows these storms as they're migrating east. the national weather service has issued tornado watches meaning tornados are favorable, including much of the state of

alabama and certainly much of the higher populations there of the state of georgia, western georgia and into metro atlanta. here we go, 26 tornado reports in the past 24 or so hours, about 100 plus reports of severe weather, it whether it will strong winds or large hail. a couple of these tornados as impressive as we've seen. 160 kilometers or 100 miles across one portion of mississippi. there they are. two large tornados in southern mississippi mis. this is one of the longest track tornados in state history. we had two of them tracking along the same light outside hattiesburg, mississippi. we have reports of this being a mile in diameter. you noted upwards of 7 lives lost along the path of the storms. notice much of the southern united states in line here for severe weather.

red is indicative of a level four. that's on a scale of 1 to 5. that is a 4 here for severe weather, includes almost the entirety of the state of alabama and the most populous area there of the state of georgia into met metro atlanta. the threat is the highest over the next few hours, closer perspective shows 10 to 15% probability of a tornado touching down in these areas. upwards of 10 million people in the path of a very dangerous storm that has the history of producing tornados in the last couple of hours. >> i'm still getting my head around a stotornado a mile in diameter. we'll check in with you later as the night winds on here. now more than 10,000 people in the uk have died from coronavirus so far. that's a staggering number. more than 84,000 have tested positive. experts say the worst is yet to come. but the british prime minister, boris johnson, he's out of

hospital. he spent a week there with several days in intensive care and is now describing how harrowing it was. >> reporter: it could have gone either way was the startling admission from british prime minister boris johnson about his time in hospital. he's since been discharged and is now recovering at checkers, the country estate. he expresses his sincere grat duty for the british national health service in a message and mentions nurses by name. >> i hope they won't mind if i mention in particular two nurses who stood by my bedside for 48 hours when things could have gone either way. jenny from new zealand on the south island to be exact, and luis from portugal near porter. and the reason in the end my body did start to get enough oxygen was because for every second of the night they were

watching and they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions i needed. >> reporter: the prime minister said that the national health service was the beating heart of the country and that it was powered by love. his fiance, carrie symonds who would expecting their child in early summer, said that the last week had been full of dark days and that she could never repay her debt to the national health service. while that was happy news for the prime minister's family and for the country as the leader begins to recover, it was juxtaposed with a somber and wrenching milestone. over 10,000 deaths that are coronavirus related have been confirmed in the united kingdom and those are just the deaths that occur in hospital. that doesn't take into account the deaths that occur in care homes which are so badly affected with the elderly population being so susceptible to coronavirus. nor does it take into account deaths in prisons or the

community at large. the health secretary at the press briefing today in downing street was put under pressure over the ongoing issue of the health services access to ppe. there are still reports of doctors and nurses not having enough. the doctors association and nurses association trying to advocate for more protective equipment. one of the leading advisers to the government, jeremy pharaoh, said it's possible the united kingdom could face an even worse death toll than other countries in europe. he cited germany has an example of a country that had tested comprehensively and that might be one of the reasons it's fairing much better than italy, spain, and britain. cnn, outside london. one of the hardest hit countries, spain, is lifting some restrictions. aofz monday, people who cannot work from home such as construction and factory workers can now return to their jobs. but non-essential businesses like retailer, bars, and

entertainment venues have to stay closed. prime minister pedro sanchez says the loosening of restrictions does not mean the country is entering phase two even though the rate of deaths and new case social security slowing in spain, he urged people not to become place ent making it clear the state of alarm continues. opec and other producers have agreed to slash oil production like never before. analysts say it may not go far enough. it might not be the end of the cuts. we'll take a look at oil prices when we come back. ♪

mcnally. he's an international consultant. good to have your expertise on this. asia markets have responded. what do you expect to happen when the u.s. markets open given the developments in recent days. >> well, we had a historic decision by opec plus and g20 countries to make the biggest production cuts ever. and the market's treating it pretty well in asia so far. crude is up 4% or 5%. the next big shoe to drop on monday will be when saudi arabia announces the prices for its sales in may and those prices are probably going to go up. so, i think the markets may be up a little bit on the news over the weekend of the deal. and in anticipation of saudi arabia lifting the prices in conjunction with this deal for its exports in may. >> right. now, it was interesting because we saw mexico pushing back against the big boys with some

success, i guess. but in the bigger picture, do the smaller producing nations have a say or is this saudi and russia making the rules? >> you know, mexico was quite feisty and sort of is the exception that proves the rule, that normally it's the big countries. it's the saudi arabia and russia that call the shots, and the smaller producers go along. in this case though, mexico is just determined not to accept a cut. it hedges its production. so, it ensures against a price drop. so, unlike its other partners in opec plus, mexico isn't hurting so badly. and the president of mexico wishes to increase production. so, mexico dragged things out for three days, took a lot of president trump's time, but it's more rare that you see a smaller producer like that slow things down for three days and get a special exception, quite rare. >> right. yeah. what do you think the impacts are going to be going forward? i mean, does this sort of blow

over or do you think the industry landscape could see lasting changes after all of this? >> well, near term, although it is by far the biggest production cut we've seen, it is not nearly enough to off set the tremendous demand collapse due to the coronavirus. the cuts would have had to have been three or four times bigger to off set that. just in the month of april alone, we expect over -- well over 20 million barrels a day in a 100 million barrel a day market, so well over 20%, maybe as much as 30% demand drop. people just aren't driving. they aren't flying. and that demand drop is exceeding supply drop. so, we're going to fill up inventories even more. so, near term unfortunately i think we're going to see weakness in prices. the industry is not out of the woods yet. longer term it really depends how long this coronavirus requires a shutdown of economic activity. the longer it does, the longer this danger period for the

industry, the threat of massive shut ins and employment losses is going to last. so, it's really more of a demand side issue and a virus issue than it is an industry issue. >> right, understood. i'm curious because this is a good time to talk about, you know, what this sort of demonstrates about the vulnerabilities of countries that depend on petro dollars to, you know, balance the budget, pay the bills. some are more vulnerable than others of course. >> it certainly is. you have countries like russia which gets about 40% of its revenue from oil. it's diversified in other areas but still heavily dependent on oil, really can't handle very well oil below $42. and here we went down to $20 into the teens and lower for the kind of crude it sells. and so mr. putin was feeling pain. this is the second time russia's had to learn the hard way in recent years that if you defy saudi arabia, the price collapses, and russia feels the

pain as a producer. so, russia had to come back to the table. saudi arabia, uae, kuwait, other gulf producers also depend on oil, more so than russia, and they are hurting as well. they have ability to borrow and tie themselves over, so they have flexibility russia doesn't. but it's not just these countries. look at alberta in canada. alberta is suffering agrgrievou. the province there depends on revenues and so forth. better to be a country like the united states where although we're a net oil exporter now, recently became one, we'll see how long we remain one, our economy is much more diversified. better to be diversified when it comes to the oil market. >> are there going to be more cuts going forward? >> i think there are going to have to be. voluntary or not, the demand collapse is much bigger. this will tie us over for a few

weeks, but later this some, voluntarily or not, we think we'll have more production cuts. >> thanks for breaking it down for us. thanks so much. >> you're welcome. thank you. hospitals in new york city working at full capacity due to the coronavirus. when we come back, we go behind the scenes of one in brooklyn to see what it's like for doctors inside. wright. once it comes out of the oven. and we're taking extra steps, like no contact delivery, to ensure it. allstate hcatastrophesing custofor 89 years. we move quickly and put people first. as the coronavirus is keeping many americans at home, we are driving less and having fewer accidents. so we created the "shelter-in-place payback" to give our auto insurance customers more than $600 million dollars to help them in these challenging times. if you're an allstate customer,

. now, as we have seen over to past few weeks, hospitals in new york city are overwhelmed, and doctors desperately trying to save the lives of thousands of patients infected with coronavirus. cnn clarissa ward introduces us to dr. melanie malloy, a

physician on the front lines. these women were college roommates and remain close friends. >> hello. my name is dr. melanie malloy. i am an attending physician in brooklyn and queens. i'm on my way to work. >> reporter: we've asked my old friend to show us what life is like on one day in one new york hospital. >> i'm picking up my ppe. i'm going to get some scrubs. i'm going to get masks, face shield, anything i need to be safe on my shift. >> reporter: for dr. melanie malloy, this is the new normal. >> i am going to start my shift. >> reporter: the emergency room at mount sigh nigh brooklyn hospital is overwhelmed. >> everybody has been intubated. most rooms are taken up by patients who can't breathe on their own and on a ventilator.

most everybody is on oxygen and most everybody is a covid patient. >> reporter: since the pandemic began, more than 1,200 corona cases have flooded in, pushing the hospital to 150% of its capacity. >> so, today there were 43 people in the department. that's pretty much full. but i have to say it's doing a lot better than a couple weeks ago when we had 86 and 96 in the department. it was really tough. it was really bad, bad week. >> reporter: in the intensive care unit, it's a similar scene. >> i just wanted to give you guys a little look at the icu. so, we have a full icu. we have every patient in here on a ventilator. as you can see, it's not a huge space, but it's quite full. every bed is full. i'm going to try to go to the tent. this is our fast track

extension. you can see, you know, we have to tell people we can't test them for mild symptoms. patients are registered here. good morning. here is our fantastic staff. then we have separate areas for people getting treatment. >> reporter: doctors working around the clock to save lives, there are occasional perks. >> one of my favorite things to do is the free food. i'm super excited because we have shake shack. what? >> reporter: moments late e it's back to work. >> so, i'm waiting for my next patient to be placed in a room. this one is different because mostly older patients we're seeing today, in his early 20s. i think one thing we're learning is that we don't really know what somebody's going to come in with and might have covid. everybody has coronavirus.

some people also have heart attacks at the same time. this happens. it makes things even harder. well, my day's over. well, my hospital day is over. it was -- it wasn't the worst day i've had, but it's always pretty strenuous. it's just hard. it's hard to think that some of your patients that you diagnose today might not be here tomorrow when you come back for your shift or, you know, all of it. i don't know. i'm just tired. >> reporter: for dr. malloy, the challenges don't end with her shift. a widow, she's raising three children on her own. >> so, it's almost 10:00 at night, and on my way home i got a face time from my youngest child who's 4. i think that's the hardest part. i think that's like, just being

alone when i come home, knowing that, you know, my child care is going to go home, my helpers are going home, and it's just me and whatever state my children are in. and i don't really have a lot left in me. >> reporter: the next day, dr. malloy takes a moment to talk to us. it's crazy what you're seeing and dealing with. have you ever experienced anything like this? >> never. and, you know, even the older folks, the older doctors, are like i've never seen this before in my life. >> reporter: so, one thing that i know you weren't allowed to show us is the morgue. >> there are now two large tractor-trailer trucks that are refrigerated. they are full of bodies wrapped in white plastic bags. i was told that they can hold 50 people. and the one that i saw was full. >> reporter: do you not worry

about getting sick? >> yeah, of course we do. of course i do. the way that our -- working in the ed, it's so -- it's a pit of coronavirus. it's literally dozens of positive patients. the viral load in that place must be astronomical. >> reporter: what do you wish all americans understood about what you're going through? >> i really want americans to take this seriously, to know that even if you're in an area that's not a big city, you still are in danger. and we don't know who is going to get really sick. it does not spare anyone particularly. >> clarissa ward reporting there. hard to listen to, isn't it? now the french health ministry says they are, quote, seeing the start of a very high plateau, unquote, almost a month after president emmanuel macron

declared a national stay-at-home order. on sunday, france recorded its lowest daily increase in coronavirus deaths in days. but it was an increase. and it comes with the president set to address the nation as cnn reports. >> reporter: the scene plays out almost endlessly on the news, patients unable to breathe. the faces, the names, rarely, if ever, remembered. there are too many. we are at war, said president macron, when he addressed the nation mid-march, putting life as we know it on pause. schools, non-essential businesses closed, visiting relatives forbidden, nationwide confinement declared indefinitely. almost one month on, the epidemic is just beginning to slow down in france, but hundreds still die every day. macron is said to address the nation again monday evening, this time two minutes after the

traditional 8:00 start, a nod to the new evening ritual celebrating health care workers. for the president, one unavoidable question, what comes next? >> the longer the crisis is going the less popular the president is becoming and that is a problem for him clearly. and that is certainly one of the reasons why he wants to address the region. >> the stay-at-home order will be extended. that much has been confirmed by the palace. but for how long? the government's scientific council indicates several weeks. emmanuel macron on the phone with the head of the world health organization organization. break throughs are still thought to be weeks or even months away. >> he doesn't want to create a false sense that the hard part is over with, that the peak of the crisis is either now or just

behind us, and that the weeks to come are going to be very easy. much to the contrary. >> reporter: faced with the biggest challenge of his presidency, emmanuel macron has few if any good options. the french press expected him to double down on the stay-at-home order possible until mid-may. blood, sweat, and tears. the fact is lifting the stay-at-home order without mass testing of the population and some form of tracking of the sick could spark a second epidemic wave. meanwhile, the pressure to reopen the economy builds. the government's mess cue package has ballooned to an unprecedented $100 billion and counting. 8 million workers already furloughed, recession already here. cnn, outside paris. a church in the state of kansas held easter sunday services despite a ban on

>> reporter: most staying home does mean staying safe, but forric have tims of domestic violence, the opposite may be true. ohm had to them is not the sanctuary it's assumed to be and coronavirus isn't the only killer. >> it's all about power and control. and one of the tactics of maintaining control is also to isolate and a lockdown is isolation in most extreme form. for someone experiencing domestic abuse, that's very concerning. refuge when runs the help line has seen a surge in web traffic and online inquiries since britains were told to stay indoors. >> some women are contacting us with concerns. they may have separated from their abusers and still had to

undertake contact and a number of cases, the perpetrators have not released the child back to mothers, claimed the child has symptoms of corona and held on to the child. >> it's estimated across england and wales face domestic abuse. the longer the lockdown continues, the less safe the home becomes. how to escape is to go out once a day only for essential shopping or exercise. family and friends are in isolation and the streets empty. >> personal effects. >> david knows the cost of such abuse only too well. his mother sally killed his father richard in 2010 after years of suffering his coercive control. jailed for life, her sons fought to have her conviction crushed in a land mark ruling delivered
