♪ the coronavirus death toll in the united states continues to climb and now we're learning why there was a critical delay in early testing. as wet markets reopen again in china, dr. jane goodall will join me live. why she says this expect towards animals calls covid-19. also this hour -- >> what can mom or dad do better? more than half of the responses i get from kids is pay more attention to me. >> the pandemic and your phone. why now it is so important to

try, oh, try, to put it away. we're all staying connected, aren't we? live from atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm natalie allen and this is "cnn newsroom." it is 5:00 a.m. here on the east coast in the u.s. and we want to begin with the latest on the global health crisis, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide has sur prpassed 2.3 million with more than 160,000 deaths. more than 735,000 cases are in the u.s. and more than 39,000 deaths. still, president trump says some governors have -- and this is a quote, gotten carried away with measures designed to keep their citizens safe, like the so-called social distancing restrictions. some states have started to ease

back toward some sense of normalcy. jacksonville, florida, has opened beaches for a few hours each day and officials in texas and minnesota said they will lift some distancing measures. at the white house, president trump used saturday's coronavirus task force briefing to lash out, point fingers, and say any problems with testing aren't his fault. cnn's jeremy diamond is at the white house for us. >> reporter: it was the latest attempt by the president to shift blame elsewhere. the president blaming democratic governors, confusing them of not even wanting to use some of the testing capacity in their states amid critical shortages. >> and now they're giving you the other -- it's called testing, testing. but they don't want to use all of the capacity that we've created. we have tremendous capacity. dr. birx will be explaining that. they know that.

the governors know that. the democrat governors know that. they're the ones that are complaining. >> reporter: as the president shifts blame, the president's own public health experts have acknowledged there are short falls in the testing capacity across the country and in fact it was the president himself who just on friday was talking about sending 5 million additional testing swabs to states that needed it because of the short falls they are facing. now the president, once again, blaming democratic governors and it is not just democratic governors who are saying they need more help from the federal government. we've heard from the republican governor of ohio who has said that he also needs some of that critical chemical reagent needed to conduct those tests and to ramp up testing capacity across his state. but this, of course, fits a pattern of what we have seen the president do as he has come under criticism for his response and faced questions about short falls in the government's

testing capacity and other issues as well. the president instead has shifted blame to others, a rotating cast of characters, we've seen everyone from the media, to the obama administration, to the world health organization as well as china. that was also a focus of the president's -- on saturday as the president sought to build the case that china's lack of transparency contribute today the pandemic that we're seeing in the united states. of course as the president is now criticizing china during those critical weeks when that virus began to spread, here in the united states, the president was praising china, particularly its transparency. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. and we're seeing protests pop up across the united states as people demand, some people, an end to stay-at-home orders. there were more demonstrations saturday with many people ignoring social distancing guidelines. in maryland, people rallied from their cars demanding the governor lift restrictions. in indiana, people protested

outside the governor's residence. the gathering was organized by two conservative groups. they say the stay-at-home order is an overreach by the government. in new hampshire, hundreds gathered outside the statehouse calling for officials to reopen that state and in texas protestors gathered outside the state capitol in austin. it was called the you can't close america rally. and it was promoted by at least one website known for spreading conspiracy theories. u.s. officials on saturday offered their first possible explanation for early testing delays in the country. fda officials say tests created by the cdc were contaminated. they say the cdc did not adhere to protocols when the tests were made. but the design is good so the two agencies remade the tests with an outside manufacturer. this as experts warn the u.s. must conduct half a million

tests every day to reopen safely. that's about three times what is currently being done. our reporter, elizabeth cohen, says testing isn't the only problem at the cdc. >> reporter: after talking with people inside the cdc, it seems that cnn's reporting is pointing to a larger problem at the cdc. and this is it, even someone i was talking to within the cdc, they said it wasn't clear to them whether all of this happened because of just a contamination problem or just a manufacturing problem or some combination, they said even when you're inside the agency, this does still seem a bit chaotic. it points to an even larger problem, people around the world tell me how much they admire the u.s. centers for disease control. they say they want the cdcs in their country to be like the u.s. cdc. but more several years now, i've been hearing from people that

somehow the cdc has become a bit too bureaucratic, it's got managerial issues. they care deeply about public health, that's why they're there. there could be some tweaks in how the agency is run so that it's less bureaucratic. back to you. i'm joined by professor allison pollack. she joins us like from scotland. good morning. >> good morning. >> i would like to begin with a response from you to this report that testing in the united states was compromised after a cdc lab here in atlanta was contaminated and that calls delays in rolling out testing. it's not totally unusual that a lab has an issue. but it was critical in this instance. >> well, i wouldn't like to comment because i haven't seen the actual facts. if we look at the uk experience which, again, we've been poor at

testing, it's been due to a number of things. one is massive cuts and the decimation of disease control and that includes the public health with a lot of centralization and also privatization and fragmentation and that fragmentation meant there's been a delay in the response. and i think it's really important that we don't overemphasize -- i think testing is important, but you have to remember that from the chinese experience, they didn't have sufficient capacity to do a lot of testing. and they also found that tests were 50% negative. so you got a lot of false negatives. and so therefore what was much more important and which is happening in some of the states is contact tracing, track and trace. you really have to hunt down all of the reservoirs of infection in the community and isolate the individuals and quarantine the

contacts. and that really needs a lot of hands-on physical resources. you need to expand your capacity, your workforce, using the army, volunteers, using staff from furlough. and train them up to do the contact tracing. in china what they did, they went door to door doing symptom checking. and then they would quarantine and isolate them. you are not going to wipe out the virus unless you get to the reservoirs of infection. so testing is just an important support, but it's not the end of the story. it is important but we mustn't put too much emphasis on it. and i can see now that san francisco and massachusetts and other states are now beginning to do track and trace and that is really, really vital to get in the community and to build

your community capacity. >> right. how challenging is that? china can be very aggressive and democracies may not be so that people find it invasive. >> well, it's not at all challenging because we've had diseases for over a hundred years, we've had legal requirements for many diseases. it is not out of the ordinary. what is out of the ordinary is the scale. this is no more different from having to expand your acute hospitals. you're seeing huge numbers of new beds being put in, but what you have to do is in parallel to what you're doing in the hospital is you have to build up that community resource in general practitioners and the environmental health side. you have to build that up, and they should be working very closely with the labs on disease

control. all of this is possible. it's nothing to do with an authoritarian regime. it's to do with investment. you're not going to get rid of this virus unless you do the parallel in the community. and you know we got a hundred years of experience in the u.s. and the uk of dealing with disease control. the great tragedy is the way in which our country and your country has decimated and ripped at the disease control. >> we just lost your audio, but thank you so much for your expertise. we heard you until the very end. we really appreciate your input. thank you.

now that the spread of coronavirus seems to have slowed down in china, wet markets there are back in business. sometimes these markets are the only affordable source of fresh produce and meat. but cnn has seen video showing some selling wild animals. wild animals have been tied to previous outbreaks like sars. so far the chinese government has not been able to stop the sale of wildlife usually enjoyed by the elite in the country. i want to bring in someone who has been leading the field in helping us understand the importance of wildlife, jane goodall joins me live. good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> you have said that this pandemic goes back to global disregard for nature. how pervasive is it? >> well, it's very unfortunate

that we have been destroying forest after forest, environment after environment. this has made animals get closer together than they normally would and that makes viruses able to cross the species barrier from one animal to another and some have been driven into closer contact with people, enabling the virus to jump from animal to person. and particularly in areas where animals of different species, sometimes from different countries, are brought together to sell, like the wildlife market, wildlife meat markets in china, but where hunting and killing them, eating them, we've got the bush meat being sold in africa. we've got wild animals being hunted all over the world. pig hunting. we're so disregarded the natural world. big difference between the

so-called wet markets and the wildlife meat markets and most wet markets don't sell wild animals in china. it's just some that do. like wuhan. >> right, this one market in wuhan that was mixing animals that don't live close together and here they are in this market. they're in cages. they're under duress. as long as this continues, the danger will persist for something else happening in the future. is that right? >> that's right. but china has closed down the wildlife markets and they've reopened the wet markets because so many people don't -- they buy fresh vegetables and they trust the vendors and it's a bit like the farmer's markets in the u.s. not all of them even sell meat like chicken and so on.

>> you began studying chimpanzees. forests are falling to development at alarming rates around the world. business seems to be more important than preserving natural resources. do you ever lose hope? >> i get angry and frustrated but, you know, my reasons for hope is the jane goodall institute has this program for young people which began in t tanzania and it's in 65 countries with kindergarten, university and everything in between. hundreds and thousands of young people, many of whom are adults, and the values they acquire in this program that every individual matters, every one of us makes an impact every day and

every group working on project to help people, to help animals, to help the environment. we're all interwoven. and these young people are making a huge difference. and, you know, my biggest hope is for the first time in many people's lives, those in big cities have actually been able to breathe clean air. >> absolutely. >> they look up and see starry night sky. and my hope is that there's enough millions of them to push business and governments to do the right thing by the natural world. >> absolutely. it also shows, you know, we can do the right thing and we can have an impact on climate change. i can't stop staring at the blue sky in atlanta. it's really amazing. and a lot of people don't want to go back once this is over to pollution and the threat of climate change.

good reason to get out of the house i think is a good reason. but this is a very important church, especially for the polish community and of course, april marks 15 years since pope john paul ii died and that's an important church for the polish community. of course it was empty today. and pope francis has been, you know, particularly bothered by having to be caged up. he's spoken about it and it's to give hope to the people of rome. the city is suffering and after easter a lot of people who would have been to celebrate were stuck in their homes and the pope is doing everything he can to give people hope this is going to end soon. >> thank you so much, barbie. in the coming hours, a major

shipment of personal protective equipment, ppe, from turkey is expected to arrive in the uk. that will be a relief as hospitals are warning some places will run out of supplies this weekend. government officials report the number of confirmed cases of covid-19 rose saturday with more than 5 1/2 thousand people diagnosed in the past 24 hours. the death toll climbed to more than 15,000 people who have died from complications. phil black joins me now live from london. good morning to you, phil. this is a gift from turkey to the uk. >> reporter: it's certainly needed. the shipment we're told includes 400,000 gowns for frontline hospital staff, but as big as that figure sounds, it's a fraction of the need across the health system in this country. just enough to last a few days.

stocks here are incredibly low but that is not a new problem. from the very beginning of this crisis, frontline hospital staff have been talking about the shortage of personal protective equipment and the government has been saying, we know. we're aware. we're working on it. we're doing what we can to source materials internationally and also to boost and build domestic production. but it hasn't worked. public health officials here have now issued new guidelines to hospital staff telling them as required to even reuse what is supposed to be single-use items. according to best and safest practice. the argument says it's a necessary compromise because of the shortage, the pressure on supply chains around the world. but there is tremendous anger about this, not just among frontline hospital staff, but across the wider public as well because those hospital staff are seen as being heroic in their efforts to save and care for

people while putting their own health and lives at risk and really there is now a growing trend in this country that is heavily critical, far greater scrutiny on the response and planning to the pandemic. it is criticism that the government largely refutes and denies. but it is all a growing sign of the pressure that the government here is under here as this crisis continues, natalie. >> phil black for us in london. phil, thank you. next here on "cnn newsroom," another crisis in the u.s. related to the pandemic, millions of people waiting in long lines for food while farmers dump crops that are rotting. we explain about this next. >> what could we be doing better than spending time on our phones? >> spending more time with us

♪ welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie allen. you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from atlanta. our top stories here, the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the u.s. is now more than 735,000 with at least 39,000 deaths. that according to johns hopkins

university. several state governors say they're facing shortages of critical supplies to conduct tests for the virus. president trump lashed out at governors saturday saying got carried away with measures designed to control the spread of the virus like social distancing. people in several states have protested the restrictions. mr. trump called for some people to do that. some states have started to allow more movement while urging people to avoid crowds. u.s. officials say tests created by the cdc were contaminated early on and this likely caused early testing delays across the u.s. the tests were remade with an outside manufacturer. this as experts warn a half a million daily tests are necessary to safely reopen the u.s. and the u.s. is far from that number. the coronavirus pandemic is hitting farmers and ranchers in

the united states hard. milk and produce are going bad and having to be dumped. meat plants are shutting down leaving ranchers with surplus of stock. meanwhile, record numbers of americans are waiting in long lines at food banks. here's more on the story. >> reporter: this bumper to bumper traffic wasn't caused by any car accident, nor is it any rush hour community. for many people, there is no commute because there's no longer a job. no longer a paycheck and because of that, with increasing alarm, there is no more food. >> as people are getting furloughed and losing their jobs, they need to get access to food. >> reporter: across to america, in big cities and small towns, are scenes like these, people who can no longer afford to go to the grocery store. people who don't know where their next meal will come from. they're lining up in many cases for miles for donations at food

banks. >> we're seeing folks out here who have never had to seek food assistance before. >> it's going to help us out at all. because we don't have an income at all. we don't have money to support our kids. >> reporter: at a time where the word unprecedented is used frequently, these images do have a precedence, and it's a sobering one. it was called the equivalent of the old black and white images of americans standing in bread lines during the great depression. the demand has been so great the national guard has been called in to help food banks with coordination and distribution. >> 1,396 national guardsmen, they've helped package 1.1 million pounds of food. >> reporter: some farmers across the country have been left with no choice but to dump the crops that are sold to restaurants

that are now closed. some have tried to donate leaving milk for people to take, but delivering mass quantities of fresh produce in a small window of time is a challenge. the american farm bureau along with the nationwide network of food banks, feeding america, have asked the u.s. department of agriculture to streamline a system that connects farms and food banks. >> we don't have a buffer. there's no safety net for these folks. there's no savings. >> we're likely to see more food going unused and more lines of people that could certainly have used it. cnn, atlanta. earlier on our network, cnn's don lemon and van jones hosted a star-studded special called the color of covid. they took a look at how the coronavirus pandemic is devastating communities of color in the u.s. take a look at the numbers here. the rate of covid-19 deaths in

the black community is more than double that of any other race. and in at least nine states in the midwest, south and east, the death rate exceeds the population rate by more than 20 percentage points. snoop dogg, sean combs has a message for small children keeping children from their sporting activities. >> i would tell these young kids what i've been saying for years. a lot of people complain about college players not getting paid and things like that, this is a -- i tell those guys, get that free education. this is divided. we talk about brown and black tonight, because black people and hispanics, we're the most vulnerable because of economics and systemic racism, but it comes down to education and the type of job you have.

so i would tell everybody out there in the black community, man, you got to make sure you get your education. we can talk about all we want to, it's not working the same on everybody. it's having a negative effect on the black community because of poverty and systemic racism. if you're a young black kid and you get a chance to go to college for free, take advantage of that situation and make sure you're going to use the system and the system don't get to use you. >> charles barkley there, always a lot of wisdom from that man. these days, most of us are spending a lot of time on our devices. we want to stay connected and right now technology is the only way to do that safely. but can we become dependent on your gadgets or the feelings we get one using them? experts call it tech addiction.

it happens when you cannot control the amount of time you spend using technology and it's the subject of a new film called "screened out." >> children up to age 8 are spending up to three hours a day consuming screen media. children 8 to 12 spend closer to five hours and teenagers can be up to nine hours. just a sign on where you want your attention to be focused, on the real world or theirs. >> we're joined by the maker of that film. he comes to us live from toronto. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> do you have any devices close to you right now, other than your device that's bringing you live with me. we appreciate that one. talk about why you made this film. i know there's something about your kids flipping out when you would take their devices from them. >> yeah, i'm the father of three young boys and i'm sure all

parents can relate to this. when you take away the screen, they flip out. they get a lot of anxiety. they want to get back on the screen right away. to me, this was a strange thing and it kind of reminded me of withdrawal and then i looked at my own self and i said, i'm on social media and i put down my phone, and then i immediately want to get back on that. so i took a step back and said, what's this doing to my children's brains? what's it doing to my brain? we decided to get answers. >> talk about that and talk about the fact that we are needing to stay connected right now. yes, limits for children, but some of us need limits as adults too. what did you find out? >> well, first of all, i want to say when we're talking about screen addiction, especially with the film, we're talking about -- we're talking about

social media and we're talking about online gaming. we're not talking about video conferencing with your friends, we're not talking about using it for work and not talking about your kids using it to do their schoolwork right now. right now is an interesting time because really this is a time when we're all celebrating bad behaviors. people are having that extra glass of wine or ten. people are not working out as much. and people are using screen devices more. what we found out talking to the experts here in south korea is that, you know, these companies had made them addicted by design so, you know, the more we use them, the more addicted we would get. in a time like this, when we're all stuck in our homes, we're sitting ducks right now for tech companies and it's difficult. >> yeah, absolutely. and you talk about -- i play way

too many -- too much words with friends. i did buy a bat and ball set to go outside and play. but it's hard right now when so many of us are isolated. the question is too, will we come out of this -- or will we be worse off when we can move on from this pandemic? >> that's a great question. and i will say that, you know, when we're -- when we do take a walk now or we go to the grocery store, what's one thing we notice? we're saying hi to people that we don't even know. we're reaching out to people and just trying to connect with them. because real human interaction is very, very important. and i think we're all getting a little sick of our screens right now and talking to all of our friends through video conferencing. we want to go to concerts, have a good time. and i hope the lesson we learn

here when this is all done, when we go to a restaurant and we're with our family or our friends and we're sitting there, we're not staring at our phone and we're paying attention to the person in front of us. real human interactions is what is important. >> it might happen naturally after all of the screen time we're getting. when i have had to go out, people -- instead of saying have a good day, they're saying stay safe. thank you for your time. we wish you the best. >> thank you so much. stay safe. >> you too. after the break, we take a look at how the spread of the coronavirus is affecting one of japan's most marginalized groups. there will be parties again soon,

cases and six deaths, officially bringing the total number of cases to more than 10,000. prime minister shinzo abe earlier extended the state of emergency nationwide to curb the spread of coronavirus infections. previously the state of emergency applied to seven urban prefectures including tokyo. one often forgotten group in the pandemic is sex workers and with the spread of the coronavirus in japan, tokyo's bustling red-light district has all but gone dark and that's leaving many of these workers wondering how they'll get by in a complicated situation for them and will ripley joins us to talk more about it. hello, to you. >> hello. some of these sex workers are parents who have to make a choice foregoing food for their children or leaving their house, going directly to clients' homes as this virus is spreading quickly here in tokyo an in many other countries, putting themselves and families at risk.

>> reporter: the rain, normally doesn't deep people away from kabukicho, tokyo's red-light visit. i remember my first visit here five years ago. the cold, wet streets of this sleepless town were always full, just like the shops lining these dimly lit halls. prostitution is against the law in japan. but everybody knows what's really for sale. fast forward five years to 2020, coronavirus is doing what the rain cannot, turning off the neon lights. in all of my years of living in tokyo, i've never seen kabukicho this empty. normally the streets are lined with women. the shops are closed now and the women, well, they have to find other ways, more dangerous ways to make a living. a woman asked us to hide her face. her family doesn't know she's been a sex worker for ten years. these days, with all the shops

closed, she goes directly to customers, often older men, a risky proposition with the virus spreading quickly. of course i worry about my health, she says. but i worry more about how to survive. what if i can't afford to buy food. as a young girl, mika wanted to be a journalist. life didn't work out that way. she's not asking for sympathy. she's asking for help. sex workers can't stop working but we don't want to stop the virus. japan's estimated 300,000 sex workers are eligible for the government's coronavirus cash handouts, about a thousand dollars. advocates for sex workers say, that money won't be nearly enough to keep most off the streets. there's a lot of discrimination towards sex workers says this man just before his toddler makes a brief appearance.

there are many different types of people in the sex industry, like single moms who need to earn money. they may be scared about coronavirus, but they're more scared of losing their jobs. his non-profit tries to help sex workers find new jobs, jobs they're not afraid to tell their families about. jobs that won't put them and their children at risk. problem with finding a new job right now, natalie, as so many people well know, nobody is hiring. companies are laying people off here in japan and around the world. and even though the brothels are closing, sex workers are communicating with customers directly. they're going in and out of people's houses all day long. they know it's dangerous, they know the number of coronavirus cases is increasing in tokyo, but they don't think they have another option. even if they do qualify for the government's $930 cash handout as a result of the pandemic. >> right. it shows desperation that so many people in the world are

having to go through right now. will ripley in tokyo, thank you for your report, will. next here, sean penn is teaming up with the city of l.a. to get more people tested. we'll tell you what his non-profit group is doing right after a short break. you should be mad at forced camaraderie. and you should be mad at tech that makes things worse. but you're not mad, because you have e*trade, who's tech makes life easier by automatically adding technical patterns on charts and helping you understand what they mean. don't get mad. get e*trade's simplified technical analysis.
