help and there is help available. here's the number for the crisis text line. you can text the word home to 741741. there's the disaster distress helpline. we'll put that number up as well. you can even email me. reach out to me. let's be honest about our emotions, talk through it, and recognize it's okay to not be okay. welcome to our viewers joining us all around the world. i'm michael holmes. and coming up on cnn news room, the us crosses another grim milestone, more than 40,000 deaths as the president pressing to reopen the country. new zealand meanwhile reporting 12 deaths, and it has announced its extending its lockdown. and a gunman is dead after

killing at least 16 people in a mass shooting in nova scotia. with countries like china, italy, spain, and france cautiously optimistic that the coronavirus pandemic is slowing a little, there is still a lot of uncertainty and uneasiness about relaxing restrictions too soon with leaders warning the crisis is far from over. worldwide the number of cases now approaching 2.5 million, more than 165,000 deaths. the u.s. has the highest numbers by far, now almost 1/3 of the world's cases. some states are seeing signs of progress, including the hardest-hit new york. >> if the data holds, and if this trend holds, we are past the high point and all indications at this point are

that we are on the descent. whether or not the descent continues depends on what we do. >> well, it is clear americans are growing wrestless with the stay-at-home orders. protesters in a number of states over the weekend pushing to reopen now. president donald trump showing support for the protest even though his own medical experts have said it is dangerous to ease up on social distancing too quickly. there is still so much we don't know about how this virus works, like whether you even have immunity after you've caught it. >> in most infectious diseases except for hiv, withe know that when you get sick and you recover and you develop antibody that that antibody often confers immunity. we just don't know if it's immunity for a month, immunity for six months, immunity for six years. >> governments say they need

more tests before they can reopen. the white house says they have plenty. natasha chan looks at the state of nation right now. >> reporter: it's been 50 days since the first coronavirus death in the u.s. tonight that death toll is more than 40,000, nearly double from one week ago. yet with 22 million people who filed r unemployment, there are indications of america's soon reopening. florida is reopening beaches, texas is rolling out plans to resume commerce, and people are protesting in several states against stay-at-home orders. >> freedom and liberty, we're losing it. >> president trump is itching to reopen america. >> we're going to start to open our country. >> reporter: not just to boot the economy in free fall, but with poll numbers sliding and election just months away to resume a past time. >> i hope we can do rallies. it's great for the country. it's great for spirit. it's great for a lot of things. >> reporter: but trump has

acknowledged it is the governors who are the authority when it coms to reopening society. >> governors are empowered to tailored approach that meets the diverse circumstances. >> more help is needed from the federal government on testing. >> we simply have not had enough test kits. >> we governors are doing the best we can with what we've got. >> the president doesn't want to help on testing. >> trump fured back calling the governors complainers and saying he's already created, quote, tremendous capacity when it comes to testing. >> they don't want to use all the capacity we've create. the governors know that. the democrat governors know that. they're the ones that are complaining. >> republican governors have been sounding the alarm too. >> to try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing and they should just get to work on

testing, somehow we aren't doing our job is just absolutely false. >> reporter: and just a day after trump sent a series of tweets urging liberation, disregard social distancing measures while millions more heed the experts advice and stay at home. >> i just think that some of the governors have gotten carried away. >> reporter: offering only blame instead of the assistance the governors say they so desperately need. >> don't pass the buck without passing the bucks. >> reporter: we're start ring to see one state planning to reopen some things this week. according to the "post your your" beach goers will be allowed access to rivers and lakes, and retail stores will be allowed to open to jewelry and

furniture. >> she has done a lot of verj into how diseases spread. so, we're delight to have you professor. thanks so much. the president again praising himself, his own administration on everything but including testing even though per capita the u.s. is well behind other countries and again putting responsibility on state governance. how vital is it that testing ramps up? and should not the federal government be coordinating procurement and distribution? >> well, absolutely. testing is so critical to understanding where we are on the curve, where we need to go, and how we need to get there. right now, we just do not have enough testing in place. and the testing is -- the road blocks to testing are multiple -- are significant and from multiples places. but the big things are reagents,

swabs, and just accessibility in general for the general public. until we have widespread testing available in the united states, everywhere and testing in particular for vulnerable populations and repeat testing available for health care workers, we really are just not in a place to be reopening or even thinking about reopening. >> yeah, i mean, do we still -- we still don't know, right, if having had covid, whether you're immune or not. and if you're not, does that mean -- what does that mean going forward forring manying this virus in a community sense? >> this is a very important point you're bringing up. over the weekend the world health organization also made a comment about this suggesting that it was just -- we just didn't not have enough information to understand what these antibody tests mean. this is really what we're referring to here because all of these antibody tests rolling out

everywhere tell you if you have been exposed to the virus, if you may have been sick with the virus. but it tells you nothing about whether or not you have immunity to the virus, whether or not you can fight off another infection. so, there are some very important questions that feed had to be answered. these are the things that we're answering at ucla right now. we're looking at if you get infected, does that produce immunity? first you have antibodies. you have a trace of having the trace in your blood that you may have been infect. but does that mean you are immune to the virus? and if you are immune to this virus how long does that immunity last? we don't know. and if you do have immunity, does it wane and can you get reinfected? and these cases in south korea and reports in other place really beg the question as to what immunity means in this case and for how long. >> yeah. yeah. exactly. so, you've got this situation where the president himself

talking of opening the economy, businesses and so on. and yet his task force doesn't know that immunity situation. it seems a contradiction. surely until we know such an important thing large numbers of people going back to being in closed quarters seems incredibly risky. >> exactly. it's this idea of everybody is interested to know if you can have some sort of immune passport saying you've had this virus. but you may need your visa renewed overtime if immunity doesn't last. and so i think it's very, very important that we understand these things before we move too quickly. the issue is we're going to lose all the gains that we've all sacrificed -- everybody around the world is sacrificing, really taking on a lot of hardship to be able to flatten this curve and to reduce -- and to slow spread. it's kind of like deciding after you jump out of an airplane and you pull your parachute, now you

slow down you say hey i don't need this parachute anymore and cut the cord. >> what a good analogy. haven't heard that one. that really paints the picture. there's going to be more demonstrations monday in the u.s., organized protests against stay-at-home. we've seen a couple in recent days. as a health care professional, what goes through your mind when you see that sort of thing? >> i just think this whole situation is so stressful for everybody. and it's so fraught. and to think people are going to be putting themselves at risk in close proximity. we know this various is very infectious. i think it's something that is not advisable to be undoing all of the hard work because any time you have these large groups of people this is really undoing all the hard work and sacrifice that everybody else has been working so hard and sacrificing so hard to be able to slow the spread. and, you know, we have these phases that the government has

said that we need to go through. and you know, some of these gates include having reduced spread and reduced number of deaths. and this will actually slow the opening of these states as opposed to accelerating it. >> yeah, just finally then, you know, this is your field, i guess. this is primarily seen as a respiratory illness, but hearing a lot more about other health issues for people with covid. there's reports of surge in kidney failure among those being treated, but also even after recovery, reports of heart, kidney, lung, neurological issues. that's quite concerning, isn't it? >> absolutely. i mean, these are all things that just demonstrate how little we know about this virus. i mean, this is a virus that's new to humanity. we're still trying to learn about it. and as we learn more about what this virus does, the more we realize, you know, we're just

kind of scratching the surface in trying to understand it. don't forget, people can spend decades working on diseases and trying to figure them out and understand. we still don't know everything we need to know about many diseases that have been with us for a very, very long time. so, it shouldn't be surprising that we still don't have this all figured out already. >> and we're going anne rowe mi much. boris johnson did not attend five coronavirus meetings in january and february, crucial too manies. and also missed opportunities to slow the virus. according to johns hopkins university, the country has more than 121,000 covid-19 cases and more than 16,000 people have died so far. here to discuss more is cnn international diplomatic editor nick robinson.

good to see you, nick. let's start with something we reported on yesterday. that is the shortage of protective equipment in the uk and the shipment from turkey coming to the rescue except it hasn't. >> reporter: except it hasn't and except the government at the daily press briefing on saturday said expect that shipment over the weekend, compounded by the problem that on friday, late friday, the government was advising the national health service saying there was a critical and acute shortage of gowns, water repellant, the fluid repellant gowns, the health service some hospitals may run out over the weekend and new advice was coming from the government saying that contrary to normal standards and practices some of these gowns would have to be reused. the government said that wasn't ideal. and then on saturday it pointed to the rescue pack and of equipment coming from turkey.

84 tons of medical equipment, ppe, personal protective equipment was supposed to be coming from turkey over the weekend including 400,000 of those gowns. but by late sunday they haven't showed up. they still haven't showed up. it's a big issue. it's a big credibility issue for the government. and underscores the deeper concerns within the health service about front line professionals, doctors, nurses going to work without this equipment. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah, questions to be asked. i was going to ask you too about the sunday times report. how damaging is it that the pm skipped these crucial meetings just as the pandemic was unfolding there? >> i think they're big. there's certainly a dominant and big issue here. it's certainly unprecedented that the government should take apart a newspaper report like this one from a credible, respected, widely read newspaper

in the country, should take it apart and respond to it, rebut it, breaking it down to more than ten different points of what the newspaper claimed and what the government says. look, i talk here about credibility and we're in a current credibility crisis with the government saying that it can have -- that it can get this ppe equipment in over the we weekend and then failing to be able to do that. but this is much more core credibility saying that the prime minister was absolute that the government wasn't taking the right measures. the government's response was that the prime minister was at the helm of the government's response. they're saying that the government was working through these cobra meetings chaired by the health secretary to listen to scientific advisers and put in place preparations, preparations that have the personal protective equipment equipment that doesn't exist today. so, what's happened over the weekend really speaks to the

credibility issue of the prime minister and the government's preparedness. so, on the one hand you have claims in the newspaper saying that the government wasn't doing enough in the early stages. you have the government saying yes, we were. and you have the reality over this weekend where the country is running short of vital equipment. and i think this does -- you know, this is not a good message for the prime minister as he's expected to come back to sort of do more work perhaps in this coming week when government will sit again for the first time on tuesday after a three-week recess. so, the picture that emerges from here at the moment is the prime minister who is almost a darling of the nation a week ago surviving covid-19, now is back on the political ropes along with his government, michael. >> that's the thing. i mean, he had it himself. nic, good to see you. thanks for that. nic robertson in london. turkey has surpassed china

in the number of reported coronavirus cases, almost 4,000 cases sound bringing their total to more than 86,000. the country had already overtaken iran for the most cases in the middle east. cnn arwa damon joins me now from istanbul. tell us more about the penetration of the virus and government action to combat it. >> reporter: well, michael, look, at this stage the turkish government hasn't implemented a full-on lockdown or a curfew. those kinds of measures only apply to people under 20, interestingly, and over 65. but the rest of the country, those who lie within that age group in theory are not under any sort of restrictions although the government does constantly and consistently urge people to stay home. parks, restaurants, bars have been closed for a while.

schools/universities are closed. a lot of public spaces you're not allowed to access. when you look at the numbers a lot of experts will tell you that with the growth and positive cases turkey is experiencing on a daily basis, roughly around 4,000 a day right now, more severe measures should be implemented. this is something that the government has been reluctant to do trying to ease the hit that the economy would potentially take. but it might end up in a position where it doesn't really have a choice. on the flip side of that, though, right now when we look at the situation inside the hospitals, michael, unlike what you see in some parts of the united states, unlike what you see in some european countries, at this point in time, the hospitals are still very well able to handle the influx. they don't have a shortage in ppe. that's what we're told. that's what we also saw over the weekend. there's plenty of beds in the icu. there's plenty of beds inside the wards. but doctors themselves are saying that even though right now they're handling the

situation, that could change very, very quickly as we have seen demonstrated in other parts of the country. so, the medical staff that we've been speaking to are saying that they believe that the government should be implementing stricter measures. they do have full curfews in place, michael, but only on the weekend. so, during the week, in theory, people can still go out. and despite the fact that many are actually abiding by the government statements urging people to stay at home, there's a big campaign that's going on with regards to that here, the weather on some days is beautiful. and on friday before the weekend curfew went into effect for example, there are some neighborhoods in istanbul k packing the streets, all wearing masks but not social distancings. so, turkey is in a critical one- to two-week period. >> arwa, thank you. new zealand is going to stay in lockdown for an additional

week. prime minister jacinda ardern announcing just a few hours ago while praising the country's successful efforts so far. >> you, all of you have stopped the uncontrolled spread of covid-19 in new zealand and i couldn't be prouder of that. but i also feel a huge responsibility to enshoo you are that we do not lose any of the gains that we have made either. on that basis, new zealand will move out of the level four lockdown at 11:59 p.m. on monday, april 27, one week from today. we will then hold an alert level three for two weeks before reviewing how we are trekking again. >> the extension means the lockdown will continue over anzak day, an important day of

remembrance for new zealand servicemen and women, normally marked with adorned service and commemorative ceremonies as well. canada has just seen one of the worst mass murderers in his history. we'll bring you the latest when we come back. into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove eosinophils, a key cause of asthma. it helps to prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can reduce the need for oral steroids like prednisone. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face,

. my hearts go out to everyone affected in what is a terrible situation. i want to thank the police for their hard work and the people for cooperating with authorities. >> that is, of course, the canadian prime minister justin trudeau speaking at a news conference after a horrific shooting rampage in nova scotia. police say at least 16 people were killed. the shooting beginning late saturday night in the small town of porta pique, the suspected gunman leading police on a chase. cnn's paula newton with more. >> canadian police really described this as a reign of terror that went on for more than 12 hours. the 911 call started to come in late saturday night. police say they went to one

property and saw several victims both inside and outside the property. but at the same time, they saw lots of fires in that area and other areas, in some cases dozens of miles apart. they were trying to attend to all of these multiple crime scenes. at the same time there was a man hunt on for a local businessman. people say they had no indication that anybody would try and attempt this kind of a rampage in what is really a rural and very quiet community. the man hunt continued throughout the night. people terrified already, already in lockdown, were told to really barricade themselves in the basement if they had one and to look out for this man. he was said to be perhaps wearing some type of an rcmp uniform, a police uniform, and perhaps in a police car. police point out this means these acts were in some way, shape, or form premedicated. they say in terms of the

victims, he may have known some of them but others looked senseless and absolutely random. they finally tracked the suspect down at a gas station. they won't say how he died but do confirm he is deceased. the heartbreak will be coming in the next few days. but one personal story already, our cnp lost constable heidi stevenson, a veteran, a mother of two. this is in the middle of pandemic where people cannot even properly mourn. just trying to process all of this. certainly it will be one of canada's worse mass killings in history and really a national tragedy that will be so difficult for that community and the entire country to cope with given what so many are already dealing with. paula newton, cnn, ottawa. we're going to take a short break. when we come back, new york's governor has called them a feeding frenzy for the coronavirus, the new requirement

for u.s. nursing homes as the shocking number of deaths in these facilities keeps rising. >> and an olympic hopeful catches the coronavirus, now he's sharing his experience. we'll be right back. we're at the movies and we need to silence our phone.

tracking of the virus and containing its spread, families have been complaining they haven't been given any information about their loved ones. a tip last week led police to 17 bodys in a holding room at a new jersey facility. at least 36 residents from the virus have died there. in new york, new data showing the virus has killed more than 1,100 nursing home residents as well. >> nursing homes are still our number one concern. the nursing home is the optimum feeding ground for this virus. vulnerable people in a congregate facility n a congregate setting where it can just spread like fire through dry grass, we have had really disturbing situations in nursing homes and we're still most concerned about the nursing home. >> california's struggling with the surge in coronavirus cases in its nursing homes as well.

>> reporter: the mayor of los angeles delivering an evening address, a state of the city address, saying that los angeles is grieving but not broken. its grieving in part because of what has happened at nursing homes, briar oak, east hollywood, 80 residents have tested positive for coronavirus. 62 staff members throughout the state, more than 3,000 cases linked to nursing homes. in central california, redwood springs has had 107 residents test positive. ten have died. 54 residents have tested positive, including one we spoke to over the phone. she wanted to keep herself anonymous. she said she came down with covid-19, passed it on to her daughter. she told tales of working with just a paper mask and said that nobody wants to do a job that requires people to be very close to those residents including giving them baths. >> nobody wants to sign up for

it. >> tough work. >> yes. it's back-breaking work. it's rewarding to see, you know, your patients getting better at certain points. but it's -- we're putting our lives on the line as well. >> reporter: the redwood springs facility in a statement saying it did provide n95 masks to the caregivers and also said it was vigilant in trying to protect them. california going through a surge in cases tied to nursing homes. reporting from los angeles, i'm paul very cammen. now back to you. joining me now is dr. michael wasserman. such an important thing to be reporting on here. this is one of the great tragedies of this pandemic, not just in the u.s., globally. i mean, we don't even know how many people have died in care facilities. what we do know is it's incredibly high. you've devoted yourself to the

needs of seniors i think for 30 years. what is it like to see what's unfolding in these facilities? >> michael it's really been difficult and tragic. these are the people who cared for us when we were younger, and many of them fought in wars for us and really have dedicated they're lives. and to see them suffer the way they have has really been tragic. >> yeah, what already-existing issues have been, i guess, exposed by the crisis? i mean, things like staffing level, staffing pay, proper regulation of infectious diseases? a lot of these places are privately run for profit. has there been enough oversight? >> i'll be honest. i'm not a huge fan of overregulation and oversight per se. i believe in trying to share best practices in what we know.

and i will say this is absolutely exposed the fact that most nursing homes around the world really weren't prepared from an infection prevention perspective. >> i think we one official in new york called them in a situation like this death pits, which is a horrible term. but it sort of goes to show what this is like. the governor in new york for instance says nursing homes his number one concern and that the virus is like a fire through dry grass was his term. you have also described homes as accelerators. you know, el the tell us why. >> well, folks living if nursing homes, number one, are the ones most vulnerable to this virus. and they don't bring it in themselves. the staff brings it in. the staff and visitors are the vectors that bring it in.

and once it's in the facility, if you're not doing good infection prevention, this can spread like wild fire. and the interesting thing if the governor of new york is now concerned about nursing homes, i wish he'd been concerned when he instructed nursing homes to accept patients from hospitals who brought the virus in to the facilities in new york because that was not the best plan. >> yeah, i can imagine. is it too late, in your view, for effective mitigation right now? has that horse bolted? i mean, is there even enough testing of residents for that matter or staff? >> no, actually, michael great question. and actually there's a lot we can do especially in the united states and around the world where nursing homes have not been hit by this yet. there's a lot we can do. the first thing we can do is

actually make sure we're testing all of the staff. because we don't know what we don't know. and if we know that the staff have the virus, we can prevent them or make sure they're wearing protective equipment so they don't give the virus to the residents. so, that's number one. number two is we need to make sure that nursing homes have an adequate -- actually more than adequate -- that they have abundance of personal protective equipment. you know, a lot of that equipment has correctly gone to hospitals, but no one's been paying attention to the fact that we need to protect the residents of nursing homes. so -- yes? >> no, yeah, yeah. you make the point too that we don't know how many people have died in these nursing homes. the counting and accountability is not there. i'm not sure you do, but if you had a family member if had a nursing home or assisting living facility, what would you do? >> you know, i was asked that question a couple or few weeks

ago and i said i would pull them out in a heart beat. that was my heart felt response. but the caveat is most people are in nursing homes for a reason. they're there because they need assistance 24 hours a day. and most people at home aren't capable of providing that level of care for their loved one. the other thing that is the third prong of protecting folks in nursing homes and assisted livings is we must be doing stellar infection prevent. so, absolutely incredible hand washing and paying attention to all those things. the average family isn't necessarily skilled in that. so, bringing grandma home, if you're not the best of the best in terms of caring for her and taking care of the infection prevent part, you may not be the best idea for everyone. >> yeah. just finally, i mean, after this is all over, what needs to

change in a regulatory sense? i think the administration was actually in the process of doing away with each home had to have an infectious disease expert or specialist in it. that was about to be abolished. mate have been. what needs to change after this? >> in the last few weeks the california association of long term medication has made recommendations that every nursing home in the state and in the country should be required to have a full-time -- full-time -- infection preventionist. i'll tell you if that had been the case, we would not be losing as many lives as we have so far with the caveats that they still need testing of staff and they still need abundant personal protective equipment. >> it is a huge tragedy. it continues to unfold. and as you say, a lot of it

probably could have been prevented. dr. michael wasserman. i've got to leave it there. i appreciate you coming on and telling the story. >> thank you very much, michael. well, u.s. crude oil takes a beating in monday trading. it hit a low that has not been seen in decades. we'll discuss when we come back. this is an athlete, twenty reps deep, sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you.

welcome back. . trump says republicans and democrats are near agreement on extra money to help small businesses. the small business administration officially ran out of money on thursday for the paycheck protection program. sources telling cnn a sticking point is how to spend billions of coronavirus on coronavirus testing. the white house wants testing done by the states while democrats are calling for the federal government to coordinate it. >> i'm hopeful that we can reach an agreement that the senate can pass this tomorrow and that the house can take it up on tuesday.

and wednesday we'd be back up and running. i'm hopeful -- i think we're very close to a deal today, and i'm hopeful that we can get that done. >> more money for small businesses would be welcomed news for investors. u.s. futures are down suggesting last week's rally on wall street could be over, looking fairly flat, down about a half a percentage point. u.s. crude down more than that, plunged below $15 a barrel, the lowest level in more than two decades. the collapse in demand amid the pandemic battering prices. john defterios is in abu dhabi for us. just a case where supply and demand are just out of whack? >> reporter: in a big way. historically, in fact michael. that's the mismatch we're seeing in the market today. this is particularly acute in the u.s. market. if you take a look at prices right now, the benchmark crude

and that of the international benchmark has about a $12 spread, a record spread we've seen in years. we're running out of storage in the u.s. despite as you were saying the saudi arabia and russia ended their price war on march 6, that carried on for a month, they're going to cut a record 10 million barrels a day. we see this dramatic oversupply. the agency is suggesting that demand has dropped by about 30 million barrels a day. so, we have opec+ cutting just under 10 million. you can see why we've been building up these stocks and something we're not going to see in terms of rebounds well into the second half of the year. >> what does that mean? donald trump has his finger in this all along and he's very interested in preserving the u.s. industry. what does this sell off mean for

the -- i think the term is oil patch -- in the u.s. this year and next? >> that's a good way of putting it. i think donald trump took a victory loop a little bit too early, michael. he was taking congratulations for linking saudi arabia and russia back together and having it ended just over a week ago. it was all too little too late to be frank. it's ironic because we started the year with the benchmark around $65 a barrel and tensions with iran seems like a century ago because we've had this 70% correction. we're in the eye of the hurricane right now and here's the math. the opec cuts will take out 2 billion barrels. the projections are that the u.s. will take out or lose half a billion barrels so, by august to september period we should see prices almost double by then if the cuts go into place. but the mentality right now is we have a 3-1 ratio between the

drop in demand and the cuts that are coming into the market starting in may. and we haven't been in the prices for two decades. >> head spinning stuff. you don't hear the term, as you just put it, 70% correction very often with anything. john, good to see you, my friend. thank you. john deef teers iers you in abd. quick break. he simply hopes to beat the coronavirus and leave isolation, his experience in quarantine after the break. by the end of my world tour i'll turn you all into rock zombies. rock and roll!
