response from the white house. @&hc% trump on friday says it could b1 the biggest decision of his presidency. t question that's been one1 president trump's mind 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 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 already begin to reopen thee1 economy. dr. anthony fauci, one of the government's top public health experpetrators, he said on sunday onñi cnn's "state of the union," while he does see possibility ofxd qreopeningn&o of the economy next month, it switch thate1 we say okay, it i now june, july, whatever, click,
12:07 am
the light switch goes back on. it's going to bee1 depending whe you #j in the xdcountry, the nature of the outbreak that you've already experienced, and the threat of an outbreak that you may not have experienced. 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 e1all. >> dr. fauci will be just one of the voices weighing in as president trump mulls this decision. the president is also hearing !cz administration and adviserse1 outsidexd the white housee1 who 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 no public health expert so far is willing to endorse. that's not a date they are willing to endorse. one thing is clear from the public health e1experts states needs to continue to ramp up testing capacity, not only to test whether individuals have
12:08 am
the coronavirus but also the serology testing that is to detect if an individual has the antibodiese1 meaning they've had the virus in the past and built upfá immunit so, that is the question the president has been pondering. we know fromk5ñ public comments, even as the president faces grimt( 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. >> and on the point, thee1÷k u president has been insisting that it's up to states to take j the lead in the fight against the virus. governments directly in a turf tweet saying there are, quote, no excuses for them not to have theirok systems. mr. trump claims it's the federal government's role to support them and not necessarily take the lead. from one covid-19 hot spot. new york remains the worst hit state in the u.s. with hundreds of new deaths every day and

demonstrates just how serious coronavirus is and whyt(xd the national effort that everyone is engaged in is so important. >> despite this, he sayse1 britn hospitals have not beenlp overwhelmed,t still has overt(ñ 2,000 spare critical care beds. health experts say the worst for the uk is yet to come and the country could be one of the worst affected in europe. british prime minister boris johnson is now out of the hospital and recovering from the coronavirus at home. mr. johnson was hospitalized last week when his symptoms suddenly and dramaticallyt( worsened. he spent days in intensive care and is thanking the people who helped him pull through. >> i hope they won't mind if i mention in particular two nurses things cou

12:13 am
achievement you don't want to come utk during this crisis in any country. and also there's this pressure also on the uk to perhaps loose1 some of its lockdown measures in the same way italy and spain are starting to.1) u-q behind the c sense. as far as boris johnson isxd fá concerned, he's recooperating at his country residence outside london while the government is run from here.çó you're right. there's a sense in the uk that perhaps brits weren't fully informed about how serious the case was for boris johnson. certainly he talked about pretty much coming close to death within thatc 48-hour period, bu he bounced back from that because of the nhs staff around them. he names them individually and emphasize to the nation that you need to stick by this lockdown. he describes the lockdown as a shield against a treasured national health service in the
12:14 am
united kingdom. that's what hisfá message wasn c about.fá many people struck by how well he looked in it considering how critical he was just a few days ago. >> it is extraordinary. max, i wanted to aske1 yout( bee the prime minister is clearly very appreciative of thñp caree received in the hospital. could hist( experience change t level of health medical professionals have been receiving across the uk infá tes of personal protective equipmenp and ventilators like othere1 countries there's not a lot of it around. >> ventilators have been an issue. uk companies have been able to come up with the ventilatorsfá required in the same way other countries have. britain has been going to other countries like germany asking for ventilators. you have seen communities coming together though to try to support the health service. so, lots oft( smallw3e1 communi selling the smocks workers need 'qlp

georgia and raleigh, south carolina. this is the time of year youñi look for this sort of weather taking place place and unfortunately it's doing so with a pandemicq taking place. >> thank you so much. a lot of opeople impacted by this. many thanks to you pedram. we'll come backok to you in jusa little bit to getó an update. as we have seen over the past few weeks, hospitals in new york city are overwhelmed and doctors desperately tryingñi to save the lives of thousands of patients infectedçó with the coronavirus. cnn's clarissa warda5 introduc us to dr. melanie malloy, a physician on the front lines. es and remain very close fritáyzvq >> hello. my name iur. melanie malloy. i am an attending physician at o work.e1 >> we've asked my friend to tell show us what life is like on one

12:35 am
r better than weeks ago when you ap" 86 . >> in the intensive care unit is a similar scene.ú >> i just wanted to give you guys a look at the icu.ok so, we have a full icu.ok we have every patient in here on a ventilator. and as you can see it's not a huge space. but it's quite full. every bed is full.xd i'm going to go to the tent.xdyç this is the extension. we have to show people we can't test them for mild symptoms.g good morning. we have areas for people getting treatment. >> for doctors working around the clock to save lives, there p are occasional perks.
12:36 am
>> one of my favorite things toi do is eat free food. >> i'm super excited because we1 have shake shack. >> what! >> moments later, it's back to work. >> so, i'm waiting for my next patient to be placed in a room. this oneuçó is different becauf the mostly older patients we've beenoke1 seeing. he's in his early 20s. -t(áájjt is we don't really know what somebody's going to tell you when they have covid. éq) q+ery some people at the same time. then this happens.lp and it makes things even harder. well, my day is over. ospital day is over.xd it wy5j$u$e worse day i've had.5+
12:37 am
"@ráhp&ways draining. it's just -- it's hard.q it's hard to think that some of the patients you diagnosed 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. >> for dr. malloy, the challenges don't end with her lc shift.eoo(p&hc 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 wh5%itáy i think that's the hardest part1 i think just being alone when come home, knowing that, you e1 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 çó left in me. >> the next day, dr. malloy
12:38 am
>> it's crazy what you're seeing and dealing with.xd have you ever experienced anything like this?5aok >> never. and, you know, even the older folks like the older doctors, they're like i've never seen this before in my life.t( >> 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 5ó people, and the one that i saw was full. >> do you not worry about getting sick?u >> yeah, of course we do. of course, of course, i do.i]e1 the way we're working in the ed, it's a pit of coronavirus.ok it's literally dozens of positive patients. the viral load in that place ok1 must be astronomical. >> what do you wish all
12:39 am
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 d 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 fá particularly. >> those doctors aret( amazing. they are indeed ourçó heroes. and the world is now dealing with close to 2 million con frmed cases of coronavirus. the big question, when!u will be safe for life to return to some level of normalcy? keith neil joins me now to discuss all of this. he's the professor amare tus of epidemiologist of infectious diseases at noting hammok university. thank you so much for talking with us. >> good morning.
12:40 am
>> the united kingdom reached 10,000 deaths with some experts predicting it could be the worst hit of all european nations. and then the united states lost more than 22,000 lives. both countries have been slow to test for covid-19 and both countries havefá failed to prove theiru.x medical professionalsh sufficient level3ñá of personal protective immaterial request. why have these two developed nations lost so many lives and why were they not prepared for this?q >> i thinke1e1 the issue is tha this isñr sort of a once ine1 a lifetime type event. while we're planning for flue1 epidemics, this is much more severe than that. being a pandemic, everybody wants everything at once. one of the issues we've had with testing compared to germany is that with the testing industry in europe, it's largely based in germany so they've had access to get the materials required from testing. >> right. that is a:u)(p& point.
12:41 am
but of course when you look atl new zealand for instance, where they move very quickly and did testing very quickly they've had q%nly the last time i checked which is just simply amazing in the midst of this. but i wanted to ask you this because the u.s. president donald trump is talking about opening up the countryi@lorw3 business on may 1st and has told all 50 governors to get ready, no excusesvgj but the u.s. does not havexd sufficient testing capabilities or contact tracing or antibody testing. so, how would the u.s. safely !f&pen itst( doors withoutfá th measures in place? surely it would risk a recurrence of infection. >> i think it depends what you want the testing to do. in britain, before we even had our lockdown we went through a situation where people who have the covid-19 symptoms were asked toxd self-isolate.t( inx#p way, these are the people
12:42 am
we would want to jftest, and therefore we've isolated them. the big problem with that is we've isolated too many people and we're short workers. the antibody tests currently do what we need is a good antibody test to see who had asymptomatic infection. >> how large do you think that populatione1q of people with != maybe had some very mild version of this and didn't even know it? >> we're not actually sure. we went to the report last week from germany suggesting 15%i] o the population of a town that had been particularly badly hit had some antibodies. the actual antibody tests they have used has not been described ore1 repeated elsewhere. the estimate is between ñr3% an
12:43 am
5% depending on which bit of thd country. >> it's very lowe1 real:eñ but certainly that's more people that have been tested than the united states. only about 1% of the u.s.q populaux'pj been tested. why are these developed nations having problems getting out some of these tests and centralizing get them to populations and get those back to people? >> i don't know thel3 situationn the united states but in the united kiá/gom we've always gone through a line ofrc/s centralization. i think now we'ree1 moving tu1 situation where this would be done at the nhs labs and univé:páráy labs. one of the difficulties of trying to achieve 100,000 tests a day is findinge1 100,000 peop to test because after you'vee1 cleared thelp backlogs, the numr of people to be tested is likely tot( drop off quite quickly.
12:44 am
>> just very quickly i want%"( o the united states andq united kingdom could learn from china and other nations that have already been thro& this and starting to emerge from their various lockdown? >> i think the chineseq situation, they're under control. itfá will be countries like singapore andxd south korea. south korea has the advantage that they had a dry run five years ago with a outbreak of mers, a similar coronavirus. so, some of these countries have slightly morefáq autocratic behavior. >> so, youder'k it makes it easier to insist people do certain things. >> yes. >> right. totally understand. keith nehls, thank you so much for talking with us. >> thank you. >> we'll take a short break here. still to come after days of debate, oil producers agree on (
