welcome back to our town hall. in case you haven't heard, anderson cooper is a father. congratulations again. >> thanks, thanks. >> a lot of you at home have been writing us and asking how you can help. you can find out by going to cnn.com/coronavirus. there are different categories to search on that page and places to reach out to help for yourself or for a loved one. you can also go to cnn.com/impact. >> sanjay, thanks as always. thanks to bill gates, anthony fauci, everyone else who joined us tonight. if you didn't get your question answered, the conversation continues. >> corona-schmonna.

where's the baby? who wants to look at us? that kid is -- oh, look at him! perfect head! so, let me ask you something -- >> yeah? >> you and i have talked about having kids before and what it would mean. how did you feel when you that little boy in your arms and you looked into his eyes? >> yeah, it's hard to describe. hard to describe. i think it's slowly sinking in. it was sort of overwhelming. and yeah, it just -- it's amazing. i literally do not have language to kind of wrap my head around it and to explain it. but i think -- yeah. things seem different and different in a much better way and more important though, i don't know. >> and you will -- >> things seem clear. >> you will honor the memory of your loved ones in a way you never imagined through how you love this kid. and your was pi ass is going to e mote in a way that you

never -- you're going to cry with a frequency you never imagined. when he looks at you, when he recognizes you, you will see, my friend. this is going to be the best thing that ever happened in your life and his too. >> well, thanks, chris. i appreciate it. >> i appreciate it. you made my month to put purpose to this kind of pain that we've been living through and bring love into the world, a beautiful boy who means so much to you and he's a remembrance of your family. i'm -- i have -- i'm just so happy for you. and he could not be more lucky. he's got one of the smartest, most deeply caring people as his father that i've ever met in my life. you're going to be a great dad. when it comes to discipline, listen to uncle mo, not uncle sal. he's going to say let him do everything. and i'm the guy that's going to bring the stick. come to me when it gets tough. i'm so happy for you, anderson. he brought you the cnn thing.

i've got clothes. i've got onesies. i got what you need, brother. i've got what you need. i'm happy for you. god bless you, god bless wyatt. >> thank you. >> god bless you too, sanjay. >> you got it, chris. thank you. who wants to talk about anything else tonight? good evening everybody. i hope that was a gift for you in your head, in your heart as it is for the cnn family and the cuomo family as well. anderson making the decision to bring life into this world is just an affirmation of hope about our future, naming it after his father, the little boy, wyatt morgan cooper. what a blessing. what a beautiful, beautiful thing. and you know what? the timing couldn't be better. god bless anderson and god bless his baby boy. well, welcome to "prime time," everybody. more than half the country is

going to be at least partially open by the end of this week. now, i do have to mention none of the states that are reopening have met the federal guidelines to do so. do you know why? we've got a new metric, the most important metric. now we know in a world of unknown, i think there's something we can be pretty sure about. do you know what seems to matter most now? you and your fatigue, having had enough of this, being more interested in getting back to life -- and i don't mean that to be frivolous -- but to get back to work and to help our families even if that means taking risks that may put our families at risk. that's what seems to be going on right now because we know we're not doing what the scientists told us was the smart way to do this. so, are we just willing to take more pain to get more pleasure and more money for our families? i want to sleep on that part. i know it matters to a lot of people. i know there's fear and desperation.

so, how do we balance being sick of this with finding ways to not get sick with covid? we're going to try a new approach tonight. we have mayors of three of our biggest cities together. let's see what a conversation of all of them can teach us about what needs to be done by all of them. also operation warp speed. are we going to get a vaccine sooner? did the government find a shortcut? there's a new time line on the table. our job is to test it. together as ever as one, and now we've got one more. wyatt morgan cooper. god bless. let's get after it. man, it is so good to have news of love and somebody's life changing for the better especially, obviously, someone to matters to me. but he matters to you too. anderson cooper has been helping you through some of the worst

times in our world for a decade. great news. he's got a baby boy. wow. okay. so, what are we dealing with? politics. politics have become part of the pain of this pandemic. the president who said covid was nothing is now spinning that all these deaths, over 60,000 that he said would never happen, all this death is a sign of success. >> the testing and the masks and all of the things we've solved every problem. our death totals, our numbers per million people are really very, very strong. we're very proud of the job we've done. when somebody uses a word "successful," it really has been successful. it's been very successful. >> tell that to the families. and before you jump to the conclusion that this is about more, about trump, no. the answer is less. the answer is less of this talk, less of the lies, less of the jumping leadership and mixed messaging. and the latest iteration of that

that i think you have to take at a discount is his decision to put the blame on china. and why do i say discounted? the president has complimented china dozens of times since january about their behavior in the outbreak and vis-a-vis covid. now the administration is planning to take broad action against them. >> china's a very sophisticated country and they could have contained it. they were either unable to or they chose not to. and the world has suffered greatly. >> i'm going to hold him accountable. is that something you prefer to do now -- >> no, i don't want to do that. i want to find out what happened. i think we'll be able to get a very good, very powerful definition of exactly what happened. we're working on it strongly now and i think it's going to be very powerful. >> just know this, the criticism he just levied against china is absolutely applicable to him and to the united states of america,

its government. what he just said about china is every bit as true. they could have done more to control and contain. why didn't they? we should be asking the same questions. in fact, we are. let's bring in white house correspondent kaitlan collins. what is the reporting on why coming back at china now? >> reporter: well, lately the president has been fuming internally about china, blaming them, saying they need to be held responsible. so, our sources are saying basically his team is creating a list of ways to punish china or demand financial compensation for the coronavirus outbreak. now the question is what ways are they looking at? we're being told possible sanctions, new trade deals. even some people waived the idea or floated the idea of cancelling u.s. debt obligation to china though we should know two top financial advisers said today that is not something

that's under consideration. they are crafting a list for the president who has been fuming internally about china. the question is whether he's going to go through with these measures once they've crafted this list for them. you saw what the president was saying about china. listen to what he was saying april 1st, not long ago, when he was pressed about china and their responsibility in this outbreak. >> people don't know where did it come from. i think we all understand where it came from. and president xi understands that. we don't have to make a big deal out of it. the relationship with china is a good one and my relationship with him is really good. >> reporter: so, of course -- >> what changed? >> reporter: -- the question now is does he go through these measures? exactly. he's gone back and forth several times. if you talk to the people who talk to the president every day say he changes his mind very often on china. does he go through with the measures and what does that do to the u.s.-china relationship. >> let me ask you one more thing

because i know you know this stuff better than i do. so, why not avail yourself to the expertise of the audience. the idea he says i know it came from a lab, i'm not allowed to tell you that. which he was obviously being sarcastic because he was telling us that. this happened right after the intelligence folks tell us we don't have any reason to believe this virus was a lab creation. what's the explanation of how the thoughts go together. >> reporter: there's no explanation so far. let me stress this is a really rare statement we got from the intelligence community this morning saying basically they did not believe the coronavirus was man made or genetically mutated -- genetically modified, they said -- but they are investigating whether or not it came from animals or whether or not there's an accident in a lab and that's how the outbreak started to spread. hours later, the president expresses surprise the statement was even put out there.

he kept asking the reporter who put this statement out there. the statement you see there is the office of the director of national intelligence speaking on behalf of all the intelligence heads of course. and the president says he's got evidence it did originate in a lab. he did not cite that evidence. we've asked for this discrepancy. it's really notable because the person running the office of national intelligence is his former ambassador to germany. it's really notable we have not gotten an explanation yet. but something to watch is on tuesday his next nomination to run the intelligence agency is going to be testifying on capitol hill in his con for mags hearing. so, he's likely going to be asked about what is going on here and what the intelligence shows. >> more proof that the virus, covid, is not the biggest illness that we're fighting in this society. kaitlan collins, as always, thank you for carrying me through this conversation. all right. now most states are beginning to open up. tensions are running high in

many of them. why? the restrictions are creating frictions, all right? you have more than 30 million americans have had to file unemployment claims since mid-march. that's nearly 20% of our labor force. 20%. nick watt has the scenes of building stress. >> reporter: armed protestors pack the capital to stand against michigan's ongoing stay-at-home orders. directly above me men with rifles yelling at us. some of my colleague who is own bullet proof vests are wearing them says one. just one protest. one assaulted another outside. >> you have a right to fight for your inalienable rights. god gave you those rights. >> more than 30 million americans have now lost their jobs during this unprecedented

national shutdown. pain and frustration rising. by this weekend, more than half of our states will have started to reopen with restrictions. in texas, the covid case isn't falling. still restaurants and retail can reopen tomorrow at 25% capacity. >> we're not going to make anything here. it's just for the staff to be able to keep providing for their families on the day to day. >> tomorrow you'll be able to get a legal haircut in wyoming and midnight friday bars and restaurants can open. in oklahoma, bars will stay closed but gyms and movie theaters can open. on the flip side, louisiana just extended stay home through may 15th. ohio extended, no end date given. boston extended its curfew through may 18th. now, the federal social distancing guidelines were issued 45 days ago, advice that expires today.

and now it's up to each governor to figure out reopening. >> and the new guidance we've issue second degree guidance for how they can do that safely and responsibly. >> reporter: a draft of possible new guidelines for businesses and institutions calls for stationary collection boxes in churches, in restaurants disposable menus, plenty of sneeze guards, no salad bars. and in schools, desks six feet apart. hard-hit new jersey, first to hit golf courses, but one per cart and stay apart. >> we said let's open them up this weekend, but let's make sure everybody plays ball. so, this is a real test case for us. >> here in california, orange county beaches opened last weekend but the crowds packed too tight. so -- >> we're going to do a hard close in that part of the state just in the orange county area. >> this vacville barber plans to defy the state's continued

stay-at-home order. in iowa, a gradual reopening but only in counties with low case growth and a nod to our grim new reality. >> covid-19 isn't going anywhere any time soon. the virus will continue to be in our communities and unfortunately people will still get sick until a vaccine is available. >> reporter: now we're told one might be ready in january. the white house now calling this operation warp speed. they'll start manufacturing while it's still in trials. >> assuming it's going to work. and if it does, then you can scale up and hopefully get to that time line. so, we want to go quickly, but we want to make sure it's safe and it's effective. >> nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> all right. our thanks to nick. and you're listening to dr. anthony fauci there about the vaccine. that gives one level of confidence. who is in charge of this ramped up vaccine effort? >> you know who's in charge of

it honestly? i am. i'll tell you. i'm really in charge of it. >> that is bad. okay? why? he does not know anything about anything that they're doing. and we are so dependent on a vaccine for our collective psychology, our collective confidence about moving forward, especially in somewhat of a risky way that this has to be done right and you and i, we, have to believe in the process and what we're told. credibility is key. all right. does this new earlier timeline raise questions? yup. does it make sense to people who do this kind of work? let's get an answer from a real pro, next. (announcer) in this world where people are staying at home,

many of life's moments are being put on hold. at carvana, we understand that, for some, getting a car just can't wait. to help, we're giving our customers up to 90 days to make their first payment. shop online from the comfort of your couch, and get your car with touchless delivery to keep you safe. and for even greater peace of mind, all carvana cars come with a seven-day return policy. so, if you need to keep moving, we're here for you. at carvana-- the safer way to buy a car.

no less than dr. anthony fauci says, we're no longer talking about a year or two or three away from a vaccine. january is now within the realm of possibility for a potential

vaccine ready for wide manufacturing. let's bring in dr. william schaffner back with us tonight. dr. schaffner, thank you. and based on what you heard from fauci and what you know about why they feel this, do you buy the accelerated confidence? >> well, chris, first, let me also extend my congratulations to anderson cooper. welcome wyatt morgan. as my father used to say, isn't life wonderful? >> it is today. >> that said, let's bet back to the hard reality here. i have my fingers crossed. you know it's like running the quarter mile. you want to run faster, but you have to run the whole quarter mile. you have to be assured that the vaccine is safe and is effective. i mean, you certainly don't want to put an unsafe or an ineffective vaccine out to the populous.

so, it's in everyone's interest to make sure we dot all the i's, cross the t's, do it rapidly, but let's try to do it correctly all the way. >> you know tone gnu fauci. i know tony fauci. i have complete respect for what he says. how do they speed it up though? i don't get it. i don't get what happened here. he and his guys have been telling me don't go to jumping tough questions about why we don't have a vaccine. they take time. be patient. this is science. this isn't politics. what chaunged? >> here's the big thing. they did a whole lot of little things. but the big thing they're going to do is even while the phase three vaccine trial is underway, the big trial to show that it is safe and effective, they're so optimistic that they're going to lay a big money bet. they're going to go to the companies and say start making the vaccine already before we have the results.

and as soon as we have the result, assuming its good, then we can start delivering vaccine. we don't have to wait to then gear up after we get the result. we're going to lay a big bet beforehand and hope that our horse comes in. >> but where's the confidence for the bet? >> it has to be in tony fauci's mind and in his advisers that the vaccine under study is really going to pay off. all the previous data have to be so solid that he's ready to lay the bet. you look at the record of the thoroughbred before you put down your money. and that's able to shorten very substantially the time line. we'll be ready to go with some vaccine as soon as the results come in, assuming the results are safe and effective. of course, if they're not, then

you just destroyed the vaccine. it's only money, and we'll start over. >> right. i mean, look, i know i'm a journalist but i trust tony fauci. i've known him most of my adult life. i trust him. i don't think he would sleep on the science of anything. but i'll tell you what scares me, doctor, and help me. obviously i'm not a clinician. seems to me they don't know what the hell they're talking about with this virus in general, why it it effects people in weird ways, why it's killing people in weird ways, how it's transmitted, why we're really con ta contagious. how do you go from that to you figure out how to kill it faster than ever? >> well, we don't kill it. we prevent it from starting, from starting our infection. and we have the whole history of infectious diseases. with e have previous laboratory work. we have the work in the monkeys. and then we have the work in the

phase one trials with the people and the phase two, studying larger groups of volunteers. and then we do the big effectiveness study. and while that effectiveness study is underway, we'll put our money down and start manufacturing the vaccine because then we'll have it available, assuming it's safe and effective, to prevent as much disease as possible. we'll have it ready to go out into arms in people in this country and eventually around the world. >> schaffner, you want to put some action on january? >> a little bit of money. and a lot of hope. >> all right. i'll bet you lunch, and i'll bet it done happen because you're the smart one so people should be betting that you're right and i'm wrong, all right? and we'll see where it is between now and january. but i'm going to need your help a lot more between now and then because there's so many

questions we'll have along the way. dr. william schaffner, thank you. >> fair enough. you're on. >> done. we've got to get back to our lives again, absolutely. and not just because we're being selfish, okay? look at the unemployment numbers. people got to pay mortgages. they've got to pay rent. they've got to pay bills on their credit cards. and nobody's making those go away. yes, we're getting checks but nobody's making them go away, not all of them, okay? we've got a very special opportunity tonight, okay? and the opportunity is to have the conversation of how to do this the right way to balance these interests with mayors of three of america's largest cities, atlanta, san antonio, and san diego all at the same time. let's have a conversation. you know, it doesn't have to be a tit for tat all the time. let's all get together, same table or same boxes, and let's see what works in one place and what they have as questions for each other, next.

keep it clean with the roomba robot vacuum. only roomba uses 2 multi-surface rubber brushes to clean all your floors. and with patented dirt detect technology, roomba finds dirt throughout your home. if it's not from irobot, it's not a roomba. open. remember having that feeling for the first time? the first day you opened. the first day you had a customer, the first day you taught a class, had a client, a patient, a session. open... remember the night before you opened? who could ever sleep? open... but there's a different question

we are being asked now. are you going to remain open? even when your doors are closed? open. that's how we show who we are. and there's another way to be open, to pull together - or push, depending on the door. and we are making it work and we will continue to make it work together. because open we stand.

re-opening is largely going to be a state operation. you've got the governors on top. but except for what we see happening in georgia they are relying heavily on the mayors of the big cities. why? the mayors know better in their cities. they understand the need. they understand the challenges. so, tonight we decided to do something a little bit different. let's try to really get together here. we have the mayors from around the country, three of our biggest cities, different parties. let them compare notes. let them talk. i want to give them my show's time to see if they can use it to basically have a zoom conversation. keesha lance bottoms. you know her from this show and elsewhere. obviously the mayor of atlanta. ron nuremberg, san antonio.

and kevin faulkner, san diego. welcome each and all. how are we doing? can we see? can we hear? >> thank you for having us. >> yeah. >> all right. first of all thank you for taking the opportunity. i mean what i said. less me, more you, good thing. just as a jumping off point, what's going on in atlanta which had nothing to do with the mayor, right, the governor did not give her any notice, any input, or any ability to change it. i just want to jump from atlanta to san diego where you guys are taking a very different approach. and mr. mayor, what do you want to know from the experience of atlanta's mayor about which way you're headed? >> well, thanks, chris. thanks for having us all on. i think to your point, as mayors, one of the things that we're all working on is this is where the rubber meets the road,

right? and when we're talking about businesses and reopening businesses, they're our cities. so, our ability to not only clearly communicate, but our ability to say here's the rules of the road that we're going to establish when we're ready to reopen, i think is one of the most important things that all of us as mayors are working on right now to really set that criteria, to communicate that criteria because as you have talked ability, people are ready to get back to work. but people want to do it safely. so, one of the things that we're really working with is how do we interact keeping small businesses going right now, one of the things we've been doing in san diego is our small business relief fund and really ensuring we that foundation for businesses to have a job to go back to and employees when we get on the other side of this. and that is -- i mean, you get a lot of talk about washington relief and sacramento and california. but our revenue comes from a strong economy.

and so that's incredibly important for mayors because we provide, as you know, the services -- police, fire, trash pick up, water. so, all of us as mayors are really seeing that downward trend in revenue. so, we want to get back to work but we want to do it safely. we want to do it with confidence. and we want to do it by data driven and with you are ohealth professionals. that's really what i've been trying to stress here in san diego. >> all right. i got you mr. mayor on the hypothetical of how you want to set it up. the reality you're seeing mayor bottoms in terms of putting out message, having it resonate with people and having them follow still early where you are, but what are the indications about how successful you can be? >> so far so good, chris. we sent out a city-wide survey. we've already gotten over 10,000 responses thus far and overwhelmingly people are saying that it's too soon to open up. but we've also solicited from

residents more feedback on given where we are and that the state is opening back up what can we do to make people feel more comfortable, and what is it that we should be doing that we are not currently doing? so, in atlanta, we're continuing to deliver foods to the doors of oour seniors and providing foods to our kids in afterschool care and small business loans are being passed out. we're continuing to anticipate the day when we will get back to some semblance of normalcy. and as the mayor just said, it's about having something for people to get back to. but all across the country mayors are dealing with budget short falls in the same way that corporations and small businesses are balancing their books as well. so, you know, this now normal that we are in is going to

definitely have an impact on the cities across the country. >> i see rod nuremberg shaking his head. san antonio, texas obviously meeting a wave of aggressive reopening. i'm not going to saddle you with what your lieutenant governor said. you do have to deal with people and their desperation. listening to those two mayors what does it mean in terms of what you're looking at with your own situation in san antonio. very important in a thriving city. >> absolutely, and great to be with you, chris. and two people i come to admire and call friends here on the air with you. so, i think first it's a recognition that the american economy, the engine of the american economy is our cities. and if we're going to have a healthy economy, it starts with healthy people. so, we've tried to be as clear and transparent as we can with

the health data and the guidance from our public health officials about when it's safe to reopen. and it is a challenge with mixed messages from our state government. i know mayor is dealing with that a lot. we've had that as well with a reopening in texas that really defies the cry tier i can't na public health officials have guided as the right time to open. we've had tremendous success here in san antonio with flattening the curve and limiting the spread of the virus. it's not been about mandates necessarily, but it's been about transparency and folks buying into the fact that if we are going to get through this, we do it together. we stay home. we limit our public gatherings. we conduct ourselves and social distance in a way that we're saving the lives of our neighbor. you have to have the public confidence to be able to get through this whether it's a mandate or not. and i've been very pleased that even in the orders that the

governor has been in conflict with the cities, the citizens of our community are still minding the public health guidance. we need to spread more truth in this process. >> this is too important. can i grab you guys for another block? can you guys stick around? >> absolutely. >> sure. >> of course it's really hard to say no on national television. thank you to each and all of you. let me take a quick break and let's come back. and you know, there's part of the story we're not really talking about, that mayors are uniquely qualified to address. and it's an aspect that's going to affect all of us. so we're going to take it to a personal level. let's keep the mayors. please come back. and ancestry can help you discover it. you might just find the more you learn about your family history the more you'll want to know.

all right. i want to keep the conversation going with the mayors because

they're in a unique position to address the one part of this nobody's really talking about. it's what the rest of the year looks like for you, your family, and your daily life, okay? we have the mayor of atlanta, the mayor of san antonio, and the mayor of california. obviously -- i'm sorry. mayor of california. imagine that. also known as the governor. of san diego. obviously california is making plans about when to reopen. texas is opening in part tomorrow. georgia has already opened in part that affect atlanta to be sure. so, what i'm hinting at about daily life, really two main things for people that live in major cities like your own. you've got mass transportation and then you've got the big one that nobody wants to touch, schools. we know why. we know why nobody wants to talk about schools. because you get it wrong with

schools you're going to pay a political price that's going to be hard to survive. georgia and texas, school is closed. california, you guys are figuring it out for the rest of the year. it's closed right now. starting with you mayor bottoms. the idea of school and reopening, you can't reopen an economy and get people back to work if their kids aren't back in school because they won't be able to leave the house. nobody can take care of the kids, especially in the populations you guys represent. how do you deal with that? >> i'll give you another layer to that. in georgia, they're independently run school boards. they're not controlled by the mayor. it's separate school entities. when we were at the beginning of this pandemic, our governor deferred to local control and leadership in decision making as to when to shut down schools. that being said, i don't know what the governor will do as it relates to the schools of this coming fall.

i know that the board of regents anticipate that colleges will be open. i think that's driven by economics because you're going to have young adults living in close proximity in congregate living spaces which is what we actually don't want in the middle of a pandemic. and so we'll see where we are. there's been a big push for us to get laptops and tablets and broadband connection out to all of our students. so, hopefully we'll be prepared for whatever the fall looks like. >> ron, mayor nuremberg, what i'm talking about, obviously the specific application is we're getting a break on school right now because we're getting close to the summer. if texas moves as quickly as it wants to, where are the kids going to go?

still have kids at home. >> i have an 11-year-old at home so i know that as well. we have been working through this since this began a couple of months ago. we have opportunities for child care even as texas begins to open up that is a big challenge. and one of the reasons i think there was a push by some of the essential workers in the medical community not to close schools down because you begin to close schools down you lose part of the work force that is supposed to be on the front lines. we've been making options available at the local level for people to have care for their children when they have to get to work. >> but you can't cover the need. >> not when texas opens up and there's much more activity with no schools open. that's going to be a huge challenge for us. so, one of the things that you mentioned that i think has been overlooked is the fact that we're talking about getting back to normal. but keep in mind, when we got back -- when we go back to normal, it's areas of high

poverty that are on the other side of a digital divide. and now these students can't even go to school because they're not able to access the internet. so, you know, our focus right now is to get through this crisis in the most helpful way possible. but what keeps me up at night is this rush to get back to normal, a normal where we had 60,000 families a week that were getting food from the food bank line. we have to work on establishing a more resilient, stronger, more durable economy that reaches every one. and equity has been a huge issue that's really come to light in this whole pandemic response. >> absolutely. school is not just about education. for too many kids it's about nutrition. they get one or two meals in the schools and maybe the only ones they're going to have real access to. real problem. mass transit. you know, dealing in san diego, it's not as -- you're going to have bus issues there, but that's hard because transit workers didn't have right ppe
