most-reported coronavirus infections and deaths in the world. now the nation is watching nervously as some states relax rules designed to slow the virus down. meanwhile, the u.s. government and its officials are saying three more coronavirus antibody tests are now authorized. that brings the total to seven. the fda says the tests can indicate if somebody has had the virus already, even if they showed no symptoms. and yet, a potential setback to that. the world health organization warning that people who had the virus, well, they could get it again. scientists tell them there is no evidence that patients actually become immune, which has been a great hope of many. what about a ravaccine? obviously there isn't one yet and some scientists are urging caution. >> we need to be careful, we don't have a vaccine for this disease as we have say measles.

once you have it, you have it for life, we have to be clear about that. >> the number of virus-related deaths globally is more than 203,000 according to johns hopkins university, the u.s. accounting for about a quarter of those deaths. not everyone here in the state of georgia are happy. the hair salons and tattoo parlors and gyms are now open. the mayor of atlanta tweeting on saturday, those choosing to get their nails done at salon should share the state's coronavirus statistics with their manicurist. and the graph there shows the latest case and death count rising across the state. theaters and restaurants have the option to open on monday. even though there has not been a decrease, a 14-day decrease in new cases, which is what's recommended by the white house task force. many businesses, business owners themselves are divided on

whether it is safe to open, but some feel they have no choice. natasha china wi natasha then with t natasha chen request with the story. >> these are disposable, here. >> reporter: georgia's governor says the state is ready. >> we will allow gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, barbers, body art stewudios. >> reporter: barbers like this one who is diabetic. >> i definitely with not haould opened anything against the health officials' recommendations or the president. >> reporter: the president who reportedly told states to liberate, issuing a public rebuke of the republican he once endorsed. >> i want happy with it. and i wasn't happy with brian

kemp. >> reporter: the state won't see a peak until next week according to widely-accepted data. >> we're afraid if we don't open the person down the street will, and we won't have business. >> reporter: this barbershop was one of two that were open out of the ten donna visited. >> these are our gloves. >> reporter: she is a beauty supplier in georgia and alabama. it was her first day back in the truck in a month. she can't afford not to work. >> i'm just kind of on the fence, you know? i don't know, you know, i hope we're doing the right thinking. >> whether they're paid or not. >> reporter: the right thing for randy hicks is making sure his 25 employees at the bowling alley could still support their families. and he knows people may criticize his decision. >> i'm sorry for that. i hope they won't hold it against us for no reason. we're not trying to hurt

anybody. >> reporter: debra holland is a cancer survivor. >> i'm conscientious of what we have, the exposure we have, because i don't want to have to go to the hospital with this virus or anything. i'm missing half a lung. >> reporter: the phone kept ringing with eager customers, who all had to do temperature checks before coming in. could only use half of the 32 lanes and limited on the number of bowlers per lane. even with restrictions, there was a strong sense of relief. >> i literally felt the burden being lifted off my shoulders. >> reporter: and many of their regulars felt the same, like leon who came before the doors even opened. >> i wanted to do something i haven't done that i enjoy. all the honey-to-do list is done. dr. emily porter is an emergency physician and joins me from austin, texas. thank you for being with us.

we knew there was no certainty of immunity with coronavirus. a lot of people were hopeful. now the w.h.o. is warning again you cannot rely on immunity from catching it again. how concerning is it if it turns out there is no immunity. >> that's super concerning, that means vaccines might not even help. how do you know that a vaccine is going to prevent immunity. and that's what we've all been hoping for. if we don't have a treatment, let's get a vaccine or immunity or herd immunity, if enough people in the community got something and recovered then that herd immunity, either by catching it or vaccination you would think would be okay unless the vierus knew stated. >> there's been a lot of talk of

places starting to reopen and issuing so-called immunity passports proves you've got appointme anti-podi anti-bodies and you're good to go. how risky is what we're seeing in places like georgia anyway when it comes to fears of a second wave? >> i think it's very risky. unless you know that you have enough antibodies that you know you will not get reinfected, it might make people let their guard down. i can go hang out with grandma who's 95. i can go be around. and then how many more people could they pass it on to if they did get re-feked. so that's why w.h.o. said they think immunity passports are a bad idea.

there's not enough data to show anybody has immunity. that's going to spill over into any of the tates thstates openi up. my husband and i talked about this. what would i feel comfortable with? if i had an anti-body test that showed there was a 90% chance i wouldn't get reinfected, would fwi go to vegas? i don't know. that doesn't mean i couldn't pick it up on my hands and give it to somebody else and be a vector. >> i want to ask you about the role of testing, widespread testing that gives a picture of spread, hotspots and spread. dr. fauci saying it needs to at least double, the rate that is, it does seem crazy that testing has been such a failure during this epidemic. >> yeah, i think testing varies state to state. in texas we're 48th out of 50th in terms of per capita testing.

so it really varies. i think new york, new jersey and connecticut, places that have been hit really hard, they have a lot more testing. that's helpful. but you need it to where anybody can know they can go to any urgent care and get a test like the flu. maybe more important than testing is actually, besides a vaccine, is actually to just keep social distancing and keep rack tissi practicing and pretend like everyone has it. we know hand washing and those things many we have rapid flu testing but if you find out you have the flu, how many people really stay home and quarantine for 14 days, whereas if you feel sick you really need to stay home for 14 days if it turns out you really have coronavirus. contact tracing seems to be more important than testing maybe.

>> i want to ask you, there are so many worrying things. and one of the things, strokes, washington post and others reporting a worrying number of young, healthy people getting strokes, testing positive for covid-19, even though they had no symptoms. what is the fear here? it sounds like a clotting issue. what do you make of that? >> it sounds like it's inflammation is what we're  thinking, that's causing strokes. widespread inflammation. what's interesting about these strokes is that they're happening in really young people, and happening in large and small arteries as well as veins. generally, strokes are in pretty major arteries of the brain. the really scary thing is if you have a clotting disorder caused by inflammation and you get clots in your heart, heart attack, clot in your lung, you die of a pulmonariy embolism.

it's possible they were dying of the stroke because they have good enough hears and lungs that they're being spared from those problems but the stroke is what actually is killing them or leaving them unable to talk or walk. >> still a lot to learn. dr. emily porter, a pleasure, always good to see you, thank you. >> thank you so much, michael. well, president trump is significant that willi signaling that he may quit holding daily briefings on the virus. on saturday, mr. trump tweeted the briefings were a waste of his time, because reporters only ask hostile questions. but multiple sources are telling cnn that white house aides have been pushing to end briefings, because they're lengthy and increasingly political, and the president has been criticized for various alarming and inaccurate statements at the

briefings. and criticism over the administration's handling of the crisis could cost the top u.s. health official his job. a senior administration official confirming that discussions are under way to find a replacement it for the health and human services secretary alex aszar o your screen. azar, who has been in his post for a little over two years initially headed up the coronavirus task force before he was abruptly pushed aside by vice president mike pence. >> the british prime minister is about to go back to work after recovering from coronavirus. his absence left a void at the top of one of the hardest-hit countries on earth many we'll discuss when we come back, and also, a taste of normalcy for many of spain's children. we'll take you to madrid as they're allowed outside for the thirst time first time in six weeks. it's my own thing that i can do for me.

the british prime minister, boris johnson set to be back at work monday now that he is recovered from covid-19. domini dominic raab will step aside in

order for mr. johnson to make a return to his old job. he left the hospital on easter sunday and has since been recovering at the prime minister's countryside retreat. isa suarez is standing by live. good morning to you. i imagine he's going to have a full inbox. what sort of day is he going to have first day back? >> reporter: very much so, very full inbox. two weeks after the prime minister has been released from hospital with covid-19, the prime minister said to be raring to goal of and when he goes back to work he will have his work cut out. he will face pressure, michael, from pretty much all sides. first within the conservative party, though some conservative donors within his own party pressure being the prime minister to either lift the lockdown or ease the lockdown restrictions because of the fear it may have on the british

economy. one of the conservatives were in danger that the medicine that is the lockdown is more harmful than the cure. then he has pressure also from the leader of the opposition, who's not calling, may i add, for the lockdown to be lifted but instead is calling for a clear exit strategy to lockdown, something the government has not provided as of yet. but of course at the same time, you're facing pressure as well from people here in the uk after five weeks of being at home. people feeling slightly restless. and i can tell you anecdotal from what i've seen in my own street. about three, four days ago, michael, there's some building work here. there were actually no builders. in the last three days what i've seen is going from one, to three, to four builders. people getting slightly restless, but what we have seen and heard from the government in the last 24 hours is that the lockdown won't be lifted anytime

soon. we heard from the secretary who said it was imperative for people to stay the course. the uk is not out of the woods. and the prime minister will be looking at the numbers, a really grim milestone. more than 20,000 people have died p died. that is in line with other countries that have reached a milestone, a milestone, may i add, that no one wants to achieve. the prime minister is coming back to work with a lot on his plate. and he'll have to make a decision on the lockdown in a fortnight our so, michael. >> thanks so much, there in london for us. let's turn our attention to spain. many children there getting lockdown relief. starting today children under the age of 14 are allowed to go outside for the first time in more than six weeks. spain's prime minister is also preparing to present a wider plan for an easing restrictions across the country, but he warns it will be a gradual and

cautious process. al goodman joins me now from madrid, and al, if i'm doing my math correct, now is the time, and you should have children dancing about you. >> reporter: well, michael, right now, if you can see up here, let's just walk a little bit up here. you can see that there are some people, these are the first people i've seen come out, because the time to come out has just started at 9:00 a.m. they can go out once a day for one hour for up to a kilometer or a half he-mile from their ho and they have to be with a parent who lives with them, an adult who lives with them. this is right here next to a park which remains closed. and right here you can see there's a lockdown continues because that police checkpoint is checking for people who are out without authorization. so there's a lot going on here this day as these, as the lockdown measures in part are lifted. and the prime minister was under

a lot of pressure to do that. because of this, this has been six weeks since the kids have been able to go out many p but the health authorities did not want to do this until they got the numbers down to a level, the coronavirus cases and number of deaths down to a more stable level. so on saturday night, the prime minister going on national television to say there may be more relaxing of measures if people can get this right. here's what he said. >> translator: this first victory against the virus is a partial modest victory, but it is the victory of the whole of spanish society and teaches us above all the path that we have to travel in the coming weeks. it is a victory of all of us. and for that, on behalf of the government, i thank you. >> reporter: michael, the prime minister says this is going to be a gradual opening in the month of may and june. the lockdown continues for a total of eight weeks till may 9th.

after that is corre after that, some regions may be able to reopen, but it depends on whether people keep their social distancing. >> thank you, michael. now, france, people there should find out early this week just how much longer they will have to abide by strict confinement measures. the nationwide lockdown has all but emptied the bustling boulevards of the french capital, on tuesday the government leader will present the national assembly with a plan for easing restrictions. this comes as france's health agency says critically ill coronavirus patients have still overwhelmed the country's intensive care units, even though their numbers are decreasing. italy has been under quarantine since march 9, but lately its cases of deaths and cases have been dwindling.

they understand their sacrifices have been for the greater good. here's been weedman. >> reporter: for more than six weeks, lockdown has been a way of life for italians. and while elsewhere, there have been protest ths, calling for a return to normal life. it's all quiet on the italian front. this columnist spoke to me from the hard-hit northern province. >> you hear the sound of ambulances every day as we have for the last six weeks. you go really, like new york is now probably, you don't really need much to be convinced. that's why i think okay, it makes sense to stay home. >> reporter: italy was the first country to impose a nationwide shutdown. during which a usually unruly people has been largely willing to obey the rules.

>> translator: i never expected italians to be so disciplined, he says. instead, we took seriously what the government told us. >> reporter: in part, it's because the death toll from coronavirus has been so high. more than 25,000. and in part because of who is dying. the average age of death from the virus is 79. and here, the grand parents are a national institution. >> old people are considered very important because they're pieces of history. you learn from them. >> reporter: in a country that lass seen many empires rise and fall, family is the one constant. >> i think it's just a matter of respect. we've been asked basically to do nothing, to do something.

we stay home and take it easy. it's our way to protect our, yeah, our maybe oldest people. >> reporter: yet the longer the lockdown goes on, the gloomier the prospects for italy's economy. for now, the government says the country can start to reopen may 4th. the reopening will be cautious. it will be gradual. italy can i'll afford a second wave of this virus. a nation's history is at stake. ben wedeman, cnn, rome. japan's doctors are worried. they warn of an impending health care melt down. we'll tell you why after the break, and the united states' stop end deemologists says the united states needs to double testing many we'll have a lot more to come after the break. you'd never wash dishes in this your dishwasher looks clean but when grease and limescale build up

and welcome back to "cnn newsroom," everyone, i'm michael holmes. japan's health care system overwhelmed, raising concerns over a lack of protective equipment for front line workers as hospitals are rejecting patients in record numbers, and many japanese are ignoring social distancing guidelines. let's bring in will ripley in tokyo. you've reported for weeks on how japan was slow to act, not taking it seriously enough. and now the whole system's on the brink of collapse. >> reporter: and a lot of it started, michael, because the government's messaging really didn't get all that serious until after they announced the postponement of the olympics.

shinzo abe said the situation did not rise to a state of emergency and pointed to the low number of cases even though japan was not conducting widespread testing. now there's a nationwide state of emergency, but some people are not heeding the warnings. loudspeakers are blaring across tokyo, warning people to stay home. some are listening. many are not. packing supermarkets, parks and play ground, even gambling parlors. japan's health experts warn without social distancing, hundreds of thousands could die of coronavirus. getting tested remains incredibly difficult. this man's 4 year old daughter had a 103-degree fever, who degrees celsius for four days. he said they were nervous, desperately asked for a test. they hung up on him. within days his entire family

was sick. they tried to get tested for two agonizing weeks. it was scary, he says. our first daughter also had a fever, then a seizure. we took her to the hot, but spit it was too late. she was 16 months old when she died of flu-related meningitis five years ago. a doctor says the same thing is happening to a lot of his patients. only 10% of my requests are accepted, he says. 90% of your requests denied. on average this month, tokyo is testing less than 300 people a day. japan's health ministry has repeatedly told cnn wide prspre testing would be a waste of resources. just this week some areas offered drive through and walk through testing. hospitals are turning away

ambulances at a rate four times higher than last april. so your patient is laying there for up to nine hours, getting no treatment whatsoever, and hospitals kept turning him away? i never experienced being turned away by so many hospitals before the coronavirus outbreak, he says. japan's medical association warning the public health system is on the brink of collapse, running low on icu beds, ventilators and personal protective equipment. we only get one mask per week says hiromi. we agreed not to use her real name. it's scary, she says, showing me the cloth mask she uses. experts warn cloth masks don't protect nurses from coronavirus. several japanese hospitals have already become clusters of infection. i'm worried about how long this will continue she says.

i'm afraid there's no end in sight. with case numbers skyrocketing in japan this may be just the beginning. over the last month, michael, japan has soeen a more than ten fold increase. it is with limited testing when compared to other countries. tokyo averaging less than 300 tests a day. new york right now averaging 20,000 tests per day. >> will, before i let you go, let's switch gears. i i iveive alost count of the number of times we've talked. what are you hearing about the health of kim jong un . >> reporter: they have been radio silent ever since jim sciutto first reported last week that kim jong un's health, the u.s. intelligence community believes, could be in danger.

there's been no confirmation of that, and a lot of conflicting reports that i would say are largely based on second hand information. i know my well-kickconnected sos don't have information. there is a small amount of people around kim jong un and they would guard his health in a top secret. i emphasize things may be happening from wonsan in north korea. you can see kim jong un's train where it usually is by his luxury beach compound, a place he loves to go, where he has launched missiles from. there's speculation he might be there, maybe he's recovering there. normally, he likes to fly lihis plane when he goes there. however, if he just had surgery, maybe he's not able to try. trains are also used for very serious processions. for example when kim jong un went to china to meet with xi

jinping or to haknnoi to meet wh president trump. also, his father was taken back to the capital in the train. one of america's most prominent health authorities and a member of president trump's task force says the country needs to double its diagnostic testing. he says it is vital to have enough tests. he says we shouldn't get hung up on the numbers. >> we don't want to get fixated. right now we're doing 1.5, 2 million per week. we probably should get up to twice that as we get into the next several weeks, and i think we will. testing is an important part of what we're doing but is not the

only part. >> he says those other parts are identifying the infected, isolating them and of course tracing their contacts. a shortage of tests is at the heart of the debate over how fast and how much states should reopen their economies. one of those important tests of course is an anti-body test. but what exactly is that? what does it tell you? and does it mean you are immune to the virus? cnn's dr. sanjay gupta took one to find out. >> reporter: there are two different tests that we are all becoming familiar with, a diagnostic test that searches for the genetic markers of the coronavirus and this one. a test for anti-bodies. the first thing you'll notice is that the anti-body test requires blood. for me, it was just a poke. but then look at all the steps that take place after that. my blood is taken down to the

lab and then spun down in a centrifuge. you're looking at my serum, the clear part that might contain anti-bodies if i have been previously supposed. the way to find that out is fascinating. just take some of my serum and put it in the same test tube as the virus and see what happens. if you have antibodies against that, they're going to bind and we'll be able to detect that. dr. johnro back is the director. health care workers are considered high risk for covid-19. here's what happens in your body when you're infected. the blue line, that's how long the virus typically lives inside of you. take a look at the green line. early on, igm anti-bodies appear, but they disappear shortly thereafter, then the red line, the igg antibody, the one

that appears after the infection is cleared and might provide immunity, for just how long? how strong? that we don't know yet. we do know for other coronaviruses like sars, anti-bodies lasted two to three years, and mers, the middle east respiratory syndrome had anti-body presence of about three year, but with this new coronavirus it's still too early to tell. what is the real value of having the test? >> i think if you are positive on this test it indicates you've been exposed. it can give you a little peace of mind, the cough i had a few weeks ago was really covid-19. it could indicate that some of your close contacts should be tested. >> reporter: but perhaps most importantly, dr.roback says if you test positive you've dealt with the infection and beat it, and chances are that if you are

exposed again you'll beat it again. for me, that is still an open question mark. i tested negative. now we want to update you on a story we told you about yesterday about researchers who studied coronavirus in new york city who were put on ventilators. they say they are updating their figures. and it's a major difference, actually. the report earlier this month in the journal of the american medical association indicated that 88% of those patients on ventilators died. now the largest health care network in new york has now lowered that figure. pretty dramatically, saying about 25% died. that is based on more complete data from more patients. researchers at oxford university started human trials of their potential coronavirus vaccine this week. if all goes well, they could have a vaccine ready later this

year. could. if it works. but, if it does, that would be much sooner than what many experts have been projecting so far. erin burnett spoke to adrian hill, one of the leading researchers for these trials at oxford. >> we've been given permission by regulators to proceed at really a quite rapid rate, certainly for our first human trial. over the next couple weeks we'll probably enroll as many as a thousand people into this trial. partly because we've used this type of vaccine before for other indications and partly because we believe the results should be very good. we're probably in a location that has one of the highest levels of covid transmission anywhere. certain a certainly in europe at this time, so we have a fair shot of

getting an efficacy result, and to do that we need quite a few cases around. >> that was oxford professor adrian hill. and, as we head to break, a moment you have to see. what you have there is nurses in liverpool england cheering a 6 month old baby leaving an isolation room after recovering from the coronavirus. we'll be right back.

welcome back. some beaches in california were open on saturday, now usually with nice weather and soaring temperatures, it would be a crowded day on the seaside, but in the middle of a pandemic it's a little bit of a different story. cnn's paul vercammen has that. >> reporter: so, with this first taste of extreme weather since

the covid-19 outbreak, it was a testing of the waters of sorts. all up and down the southern california coast we had some instances where beaches were open such as this one in newport beach and then we had closures. all of l.a. county. now that put pressures on the beaches in counties such as ventura and orange county here where they were open and people came in from out of town. we did observe that people were maintaining the rules of social d distancing. nonetheless, surfers can be territorial. they seem a little stressed out about these out of county people coming to their beach. >> stay on your own county, stay safe. >> do your best to stay away from people, but you're always going to be too close i guess. they say six feet, maybe people are six feet. i don't know, it's here and there, it's probably better than being at a grocery store. >> everybody got upset about the beach the being open in florida.

>> reporter: we did observe people staying away from each other. we did not see the big crowds, organized sports such as volleyball with ten or more people playing that type of thing. and lifeguards and police said they were remarkably impressed with how people behaved during th experiment. they said when they asked if you want to keep the beach open the answer was a resounding yes. san diego county will open up its beaches on monday. this is one of those steps in california where they are easing the social distancing restrictions. reporting from newport beach, california, paul vercammen, back to you. >> thanks, paul. one of the things driving people to the beach is the summer-like weather as you could see. southern california in the midst of a heat wave this weekend. for more on that i'm joined by

cnn meteorologist derek van dam. good to see you, my friend. what's going on out there? >> the sentiment across the world as we edge closer to the summer months, especially in the northern hemisphere is where do you seek relief from the heat that is coming. and in southern california they've already had triple digit heat. of course the beaches, some of your fafrvorite running spots a trails are closed in los angeles county. the mayor has a stark warning for residents. take a listen. >> i know as we head into this weekend we're going to be tempted to embrace the warm weather, but i can't say it enough. stay at home. beaches remain closed. do not go to the beach. >> and you can probably see why this has provided a little bit of confusion for not only authorities but residents. it's sandwiched between orange and ventura counties which, in

fact, have opened access to beaches. so of course, they're concerned about quote-unquote out of towners flocking to those two neighboring counties. providing a bit of confusion nonetheless. we've had record-breaking temperatures across the southwestern u.s. we're talking middle and upper 90s. for international viewers that's the middle to upper30s. there is a layer of fog that will help cool the coastal areas now we start to focus the attention toward the inland communities. las vegas to the coachella valley. palm springs anticipating triple digit heat through the afternoon. their average temperatures about 88 degrees the so we're running 15 to 20 degrees fahrenheit above where we should be this time of year. you can see how the heat continues to build under a ridge. the extended outlook calls for well above average temperatures on the california coast through the four corners of the u.s.

this is all amidst a pandemic with local restrictions and social distancing. this can be taken to heart for anyone dealing with heat. avoid working outdoors with your mask on that we're supposed to be wearing at the moment and of course, plan your exercise in the morning time and evening time to avoid some of those peak heat hours. we've talked about this before. but the best thing about this pandemic unfortunately, is the lack of air pollution. that's even clearing up city skylines like los angeles. back to you. >> the trick is keeping that going, isn't it? good to see you, derek, thank you so much. let's switch from weather on to sports. and this man, a comedian and former baller in college impersonates some of the greats. more on his game just ahead. we'll be right back. l back up o. but dad, rid-x contains billions of enzymes proven to break down even paper to keep your whole septic system healthy.
