i think you can too. trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. so you can... retire better. hi there, i am brooke baldwin. thank you so much for being with me. we'll get to governor andrew cuo cuomo's comments in a moment. let me begin with the life and death crisis facing this country. how much can we go backward when it comes to infections and deaths. that answer according to new modelling reopening too early will bring deadly outcomes. deaths from the coronavirus will keep on rising.

the cdc says all depend on how much contact reduction americans practice. as more than a dozen states like georgia, florida and texas begin to open businesses, one model cited by the white house raised injections. the model new fears as many as 74,000 people will die. moments ago florida governor defended his response to coronavirus. he's in washington meeting with president trump. >> the most sirconian orders in some states and compares to florida. gough from d.c., maryland and new jersey and new york and connecticut and massachusetts and michigan and illinois. you name it. florida have dos done.

everyone in the media said that florida is going to be like new york and other city. that's not happening. we understood the outbreak. >> the united states is on track to reach a million infections the next day or moatter how states reopen, experts say coronavirus will return this winter. >> i am certain that the virus will come back, it is slowly spread and right now as we start to stabilize southern africa and places like south africa and cape town and other places starting to see emerging of cases. it is not going to disappear from the planet which means as we get into next season, it is inevitable that we'll have a return of the virus or maybe it

never even went away. >> let's talk about this and bring in our favorite doctor, sanjay gupta. let me began with the new york governor moements ago. he went off on w.h.o. for not doing enough on this warning. he used the same line in his own response as if he wishes he would have blown the bugle earlier, does he have a point? >> he does have a point. when we see this coming out of china, there were a lot of questions of what is this virus going to be like? is it going to be like the spanish flu or sars which was significant and affected 8,000 people around the world and 800 people died of that. i don't think there was a lot of context initially for people outside of china.

what we are learning is that there are more sort of concerns and warning signs and red flags within china and perhaps the idea that the area of where this virus clearly iminating should have been shutdown. since 2009 when we had the last pandemic h1n1. global travel of the world have doubled. if you don't act quickly of this situation, it goes everywhere. he was criticizing their own actions as well. should they have acted earlier or thought about people already left china and went to europe. where did they come in? there is going to be a lot to analyze. >> when china says don't worry,

i have a fire in my backyard, you don't hang up your phone and went back to sleep. you go and check on the fire. he was saying he wished he had done and that and others. there are all these models these experts are looking a. there would be increase of cases and deaths once social distancing was eased. so can you put these projections of more deaths in perspective and is this a warning? i am living and breathing these models and as all the models are wrong and some are useful. i think this is a useful one. i think you were talking about these numbers and they bounced around this model of imhg. as we look at the numbers suggesting 84,000 people may die by august 4th. that's a top in red there.

it is bright in april 8th which is 60,000. a month ago it was 90,000. when i talked to the modelers, how did it turn to 90,000 to 60,000. they say people were abiding stay-at-home orders more than they realized and having more of an impact than they thought. >> this was the good news. your question, brooke, that's tru true. the concern is if you start to loosening orders early. there is nothing to suggest some of these places should be open yet. you see what models are showing. i hate saying it brooke, i think it may be higher than that. if these places continue to open. it is a contagious virus. no one knows this better than you, you suffered through it. it knocks people down and that has not changed. that's the constant in all of this. our behavior has changed but the

virus is the same. >> a tough part of places that are reopening like here in georgia we don't know the consequences of that for weeks. >> there was another piece of this which is dr. fauci says coronavirus will certainly return this winter. i know that's the last thing any of us want to hear. how will that change all of our lives come winter time? >> i think it could have a significant beneficial impact if we have a lot of testing in place. and people demonstrated as much as this is tough for everybody. nobody likes what's happening right now. as much as it is tough. people have done a good job. if there is testing available. you are going to work at hudson's yard and you are able to get tested and be confident that the test is a good test and you are likely not to because of

your own protection now. regardless people have the confidence to go in knowing that they don't have the virus and they're practicing social distancing. i think they can make a difference. that's why the testing is so important. it is the physical part of it but the psychological confidence that people will have. i think they will make a difference. let's talk to them and make sure they don't spread this and really contain it. >> let's hope so, they're able to deal with all of this. >> sanjay, thank you very much. you are the best. what's happening today in some key states as they struggle with reopening. let's check in with our cnn reporters around the country starting in texas.

>> reporter: i am ed lavandera in dallas. texas governor is lifting the stay-at-home order on thursday. more businesses will be allowed to reopen. that includes retail stores and malls and movie theaters. they can only operate at 25% capacity. what's not included is barbershops and nail salons and gyms and bars. those will have to wait until the next phase which could come around mid may. in big cities across texas, there is a great deal of concern that this will cause coronavirus to flare up again in this state. i am rosa flores in miami. governor desantis did not announce when he'll be reopening. social distancing guidelines

will be enforced and law enforcement will be patrolling arresting people and issuing citations if necessary. beaches meanwhile will remain closed. i am stephanie elam at newport beach, california, city california is going to meet today to decide whether they'll close down the beaches or ultimately shutting down the beaches. this has last weekend as everybody was making their way to the beach and not clear if everyone was social distanning. guitar news governor newsom pointed out we are weeks away from easing restrictions but all of this is based on californian behaviors. we need to keep social distancing otherwise that could change.

at lightning speed, a vaccine will be suggesting the vaccine will be manufactured before they be fully tested. seven vaccines are in human trials. on march 16th, a study vaccine was vaccinated in seattle. two other vaccine companies followed, one chinese and one american. researchers vaks nccinated here first patients on april 23rd. >> we are trying to trick the immune system thinking there is a serious infection that the immune system needs to respond to. >> we are using every from genetic immunization and dna vaccines and viral vectors and

nanoparticles. that >> that's a good thing says dr. hotez. >> you will get one or two or three that'll reach the finish line. >> reporter: that's right, most of these vaccines won't work and those that do will take awhile to be tested. >> dr. fauci charged us doing this 18 to a year, that would be a record, we are trying to do our best. >> reporter: researchers spent many months giving vaccines to human study subjects to make sure they are safe. it is possible some may be overly optimistic. >> you may think they're talking to the general public but they're talking their shareholders and investors. so try stay calm. we want to be able to kind of distance yourself from l a lot

the hype. >> reporter: settling in for a long road. >> we are dealing with global health problem. if we don't get control of it, we'll never get back to normal. >> so 7 teams are working on clinical trial in human beings right now. it is unclear of who'll be first. does not seem anyone is doing any better. brooke. >> elizabeth cohen. thank you. bill gates joins anderson cooper and sanjay gupta for a new cnn town hall, "coronavirus facts and fears" on thursday, 8:00 p.m. many colleges will collapse if campuses do not open in the fall. we'll talk to that teacher life. >> the venetian in vegas

tell me why. >> many are very stressed before the pandemic hits. those colleges and universities depend on dutuition. if they can bring students back safely is important. if they can't, they'll be under severe intuition stress. what can y >> what can you do at brown to stop the virus? >> we are making a plan. we don't know how we can implement it, apply basic health principles as we think of reopening the campus and bringing students back. you said it it is testing and separating and quarantine and in is isolation. and you know i think if we did

that vigorously if we had the resources to do that vigor ousley then we have a chance to reopen our colleges and i hope cities across the country can do that as well. >> college kids like to hang out and they like to party and they don't always play by the rules. so, how possible realistically is this for young people and are dorms and classrooms peachtree dishes anyway without a virus? >> nose athose are good questio. one of the big questions is how densely can you populate dorms? not all students returning the same time and we'll spread out the year. we are thinking of the large lectures are something you watch online and you have smaller break out discussion groups to

cover materials. it won't be if we can do this a normal academic year. it will be different. we'll have to spend a lot of time working with our students and helping them understand what they need to do to responsibly keep themselves in the community. >> faculty and students and families, they'll have to roll with it and respect the rules if they want that hard earned education. christina paxson, thank you very much. more and more passengers are packing into planes and many who are not wearing masks. hear from one passenger of what concerns her. plu . plus the president is working on international travelers. we have much more, stay with us. not just papa john's.

beauty of technology and doing all things virtual. we'll come back to josh. jet blue have become the first align to require passengers wearing face coverings on flights. all passengers are expected to cover their mouth while on flights. there has been an uptake in travels as states starting to lift orders. look at this video. this american airline flights from new york city through charlotte, the flight was full. she has filed a complaint and joining me now, ladies, thank you so much for being with me, erin, i want to start with you because i know you were traveling home to attend your

grandma's funeral. i understand you were sitting there panicking by others not wearing face coverings. tell me more. >> yes, i booked travel for my grandmother passing away recently, i wanted to be home for my parents and my dad especially. i heard airport deserted and a new people i know have been talking about the plane being empty for the most part and looking a lot of airlines websites and precautions they had been taking. they assumed naively it would be too much of a risk to take a flight home to be home with my family. and boarding that flight, to see as crowded as it was, i was

stunned. as you said may made an announcement to say that we would not be able to move seats and everyone would have to return seats and we would not be able to social distancing because flights were very full. >> i would feel better everyone is required to wear masks but looking around me, many did not wear masks. it is scary. >> it is a striking video to see especially giving everything we are living through. you have seen something similar, sarah. you tweeted a photo of a packed four-hour flight. who are these people and where are they going? >> there has been an uptake.

and as you can see from the photo that i tweeted. half the people are wearing masks. that's not acceptable. originally and since the beginning of this, we have been promoting and flight attendance have been able to have n-95 masks to wear. we could not get enough masks for our healthcare workers. we need to go to a place where everyone is wearing masks on planes because that's what healthcare professionals and the cdc says the best way to avoid slowing the spread of the virus. >> put on face masks, erin, i know the american flight you were on, americans now saying they'll require hand sanitizers a for passengers and require

customers to wear masks. >> it is certainly in the right direction. on my flight at least all crew members were wearing masks, it is good to see they were protectinprotec protecting themselves as well as other passengers. maybe they were not wearing masks and they did not have them. the idea that they could be provided by the airline, i think it is a step in the right direction. i think jet blue is going a step further requiring all passengers to be wearing masks on flights is a standard that other airlines should be reaching out for. >> it is a good thing to step in the right direction. i am left with the question, you think of all the recycled air on the plane and is face mask enough? >> it is not enough. jet blue did to make this required for every single person does keep everyone safer. i am specifically thinking of the people i represent who don't have a choice about whether or

not they travel. it is our job. we are essential workers. so we have to come to work and because the information that we have been getting about the virus have involved. we know now that if everyone is wearing a face covering, that protects everyone better. if i can wear one and you are not, you can potentially infecting me. so this has to be consistent and what we have told the government, there needs to be a requirement across the board, across aviation like all aviation policies that's federally mandated and complies with the rest of the world which frankly is heads above us here. canada put this in place a week ago, other countries around the world have had this in place for several weeks and months. we need to be leaders among the world and take the best precautions for our health and safe

safety. >> as i was sick, i heard from a handful of flight attendants, they are worried and they're on the front line. we appreciate them and you got to stand up for them and make sure everybody is healthy and passengers as well. sarah and erin, thank you very much. >> let's go back to las vegas, we got josh campbell now. we were talking about the plans for the famous venetian helotel casino to reopen. how are they planning to do this? >> reporter: every casinos in las vegas city are filled with cameras. up to this point the focus has been you, the consumer whether you are a cheater or trying to scam the house but we are hearing from the venetian will include surveillance on your health. they'll be installing thermal cameras at all points of entry. when you arrive, this camera

her father calls dr. lorna breen a hero. the emergency room director at allen hospital returned to work a week and a half after contracting the virus herself, she's a casualty of the pandemic after she died by suicide. in an interview with "the new york times" the father says this to his late daughter. she tried to do her job and it killed her, adding make sure she's praised as a hero because

she was. >> with me now dr. rosenthal at western university. welcome. this is just squeezes on your heart, you know? a colleague of dr. breen told the "times" while doctors are familiar, daily and dealing with tragedies, they have to worry about getting sick themselves and getting their family and friends sick and they don't have to treat their co-workers curta kind of mental toll is that taking? >> thank you for having me. this pandemic is flowing us on a curve to what is already a stressful job. it is too early to know that the true toll this is going to take.

>> i know that you say the burn out for healthcare workers was already an issue before the coronavirus pandemic. how was it being addressed and have you seen any changes? >> burn out is something that's been around for a long time but we think the rates are growing. the good news is there is more and more attention being paid to them and there are a lot of different organizations working on it, american psychiatric association is one. there are many healthcare organizations that are internally trying to address burn out within their workers. >> burn out is a strange phenomenon, it is not the same as depression but it exists on a continuum with depression and it is characterized by feelings and sinni exhaustions and professional burn out really takes a toll.

>> just because i imagine they're seeing so many, so fast all the time and just the worse of the worse rolling through those doors. i got a follow-up question for you. this struck us as you you told my producers that violence against health care workers has been soaring. how so? >> well how soo is a hard question to answer. i think that civil discourse is not common in our society anymore, and health care workers become very intimately involved with total strangers, and it can be volatile. of course, emergency medicine workers of all kinds face patients who are intoxicated, or very injured or have faced assaults themselves. we did a survey at our institution, and about 80% of the health care workers? the emergency department said that in the preceding 12 months

they had been either physically or verbally assaulted. >> that's awful. >> it's horrible, and then when you add the pandemic with health care shortages, and very, very complex medical decisionmaking with potential life-changing outcomes, the stress level is quite high. >> we need to keep this issue, shine a light on what's happening, and also talk about what's being done as the health does that care workers in in the throes of things we haven't seen in our time. governor cuomo went off a bit ago on the world's lack of action to stop the spread from china. hear what he says went wrong. as the small business relief programs experienced a chaotic

some people took him seriously. >> reporter: first, welcome back, my friend. >> thank you. >> reporter: we're talking about cleaning products we're using even more now that the coronavirus is out and about. you're talking about state officials who are having to deal with this. the state of kansas, the calls are up 40% because of this. they're having to talk to people who said he got advice and started drinking the chemical. he didn't say what chemical, but take a listen what they did yesterday. we've seen more than a 40% increase in cleaning product, wire doing what we can to counter-message. >> reporter: also ly sol put out a same that said we must be clear under no circumstances should any disinfectant products be administered to the body.

the statements gog on, but of course when he see some of these products you smell them in the air, you know how strong there are. in the state of illinois, somebody tried to use detergent as a nasal cleaner, someone tried bleach as a mouthwash. this has ramiveses. >> that is really frightening. folks, don't do it. just into cnn, new rules for the u.s. supreme court as the justices gear up for their first-ever phone hearings. it all takes off next month. the justices will no longer be able to interrupt one another or the lawyers arguing in front of them. they get to ask all of their questions before the next justice begins of the ten cases expected to be heard, one of the most anticipated involves president trump's efforts to keep his financial records out
