unable to get their ceremony. the event will be joined by my my miley iris. >> thank you. brooke baldwin will pick up our coverage right now. hi there, i am brooke baldwin. thanks for being here for our coronavirus coverage. the nation is getting wider over how to reopen. at least 32 states are on track and easing some restrictions by the end of the week. others are extending their stray at ho stay-at-home orders and governors are fighting who don't agree how the states are proceeding. keep in mind the protest is not just against social distancing. georgia held a mock funeral per session saying the governor's

choice will cost lives. as the nation moves forward so far what remains consistent is the rise in infections. this hour, it exceeded 1,070,000. you can see the number on your screen with more than 63,000 deaths. we'll show you the growing divide and how businesses are trying to balance staying in business with staying safe. let's begin the hour in texas. ed lavandera is live in dallas. ed, today is phase one for texans and that means folks can go shopping but maintain social distancing, how well is that going? >> reporter: well, you know if you thought today is going to be this day where it is different yesterday, it does not feel that way at all. that's part of the phasing in of these businesses. today across the state of texas, retail stores and movie theaters and restaurants can open up but

only at 25% capacity. there has been some debate as to how you enforce all of that. that's what's going on there today. museums are also opening and outdoor shopping area, the shops at park lane in dallas. this is a collection of 50 different stores and a lot of national change here. a few of them are opening up and taking advantage of this beginning of this phasing in approach of revitalizing the economy here. it is not a bustling situation by any means. i have driven around and it seems to be what we have seen around, brooke, as we have talked to people over the course of the last few days, there is a great deal of anticipation as many owners are pregiotecting tr

employees. we talked to restaurant owners yesterday basically saying he's opening for his employees getting paid but they are losing money. >> ed, thank you so much just on this. in california a statewide stay-at-home order remains in place at the governor's decision to close all beaches in orange county. governor newsom says he's putting a temporary pause in place in the southern california county after crowds flocked to beaches. this was last weekend as it was perfect beach water, 90 degrees. the city of huntington beach filed an injunction against the closure order. stephanie elam is live in orange county at newport beach.

what does newport beach plan to do? >> reporter: we see people coming out here surfing and enjoying and taking part of the ocean. there are still a lot of people out here who are angry about this. the mayor of huntington beach had something to say. i am going to read it to you. this is coming from mayor o'neill. the govern the governor's brief and general directive raises enforcement questions that will require further clarifications. all of this people are feeling there will be debates targeted because it is only area of orange county that the governor mentioned yesterday. the people are moving and not just staying still and that's what the governor is afraid of. if they have people here and

coming together too much and coming from other parts of the state they can get the virus and spread it to other part. that's part of the anger here. >> reporte >> stephanie i appreciate you. to the west coast now to the middle of the country. the issue of reopening led to armed protest inside the michigan's state capitol. some of the colleagues wearing bullet proof vests. they demanded for governors to let them go back to work and let them handle their movement. >> this is america and that's our choice. >> reporter: t >> the demonstration did not stop governor whitmer extended the state of emergency using

odder laws that was voted by the republican legislature that was supposed to stop the extension. congresswoman, it is nice to see you, welcome. >> you too. >> i know that you are against the fact that many of these protesters did not social distance or were not wearing masks but are you gerns what th they are asking for. they want to open up and folks will let them make the call on how to protect themselves. what do you stand on that? >> well, listen first of all they have the right to protest. they have to exercise their rate. >> i stayed in my car and my

business was not able to open. you understand where the frustration is coming from. i think what we saw yesterday was a little bit different and different from the protests we saw a few weeks ago. firl first of all, it was much smaller but it had speakers who were questioning sort of the health advise and questioning whether we had over 3600 people died. they were sort of making that principle argument this was not real in some cases and then they used some hateful speech. we saw representation of a confederate flag. that stuff dilute the message that a lot of people do want to get across which they want to get back as soon as possible. that's something we all want. >> yes. >> they endangered the police by not social distancing and yelling in their faces. it loses some of their strengths and message. >> i am curious because i know

you are in touch with your constituents because there is this push/pull you think about the 30 million americans who filed for unemployment the last six weeks and of course people want to go back to work and they need to take care of their family. you see the number on the side of the screen of all the people infected by coronavirus and too many have died. where do your constituents, congresswoman, ongoing back to work verses standing home. >> i was at a call with 50 dentists and everyone wants to get back to work but they were also concerned of safety. we do not want a second wave. people want to know if they can protect their customers or employees and looking to get masks. imagine a dentist which is literally handling someone's mouth. that's a contagious area.

>> we are in a crisis and they're doing what americans do best when we are in a crisis which is coming together and realizing that we are part of a community and we owe something to each other. so the majority of michiganers looked at those protests and felt like that does not represent them. >> well, with regard to the protest, the president of the united states tweeted out today support of these protesters that you described at the top of our conversation and i am curious that you think that president tru trump's tweet inspired these people. >> i am sure they were bolstered by that message. leadership is at the top. if the president is supporting those kinds of tweets and sending out those messages, we should not be surprised when people are energized and mobilized. for me it is not where i think the president should be putting his energy in the middle of a

federal crisis. focus on getting us testing. i would love his help on testing so we can get back to work. everyone is asking about that. where are the tests? this idea that suddenly we have enough tests is not correct. i would love for him to focus on a proper federal response as opposed to egging on people who are not getting us closer to opening up. >> yes, that's the macro on the micro where you are on michigan with regards to those protesters and the elements that we could see in those crowds. how worried are you and was it peaceful and they could carry those firearms but how worried are you that could become violent? you have this democratic governor or republican legislature, it is clearly a clash. how do you prevent it from escalating? >> less than a thousand people

there demonstrates it was not widely felt feeling and while people are frustrated and they want to go back to work, they have a part to play. i hope that people act responsibly. it is hard to see those pictures, semiautomatic weapons in the gallery government the michigan house and senate. that was difficult for all of us to watch. that's not something we want to project onto the world. but, i also think that the people who understand we are going through something important are far auout way of people using hateful words and carrying weapons in the capitol. >> congresswoman slotkin, thank you so much. great to have you on. >> you, too. >> a new report that this virus will spread up to two years and 70% of the population will be infected. let's talk about those new findings. we'll talk to a california mayor who is asking for his county to

reopen as some defides the governor's order. nearly 900 workers have been infected with covid-19 at this one tyson plant as the president ordered them to stay open. so much to talk about. i am brooke baldwin, you are watching cnn's "lilive special coverage. the ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. "show me what you're made of." so we showed it our people, sourcing and distributing more fresh food than anyone... we showed it our drivers helping grocers restock their shelves. we showed it how we're donating millions of meals to those in need.

we showed it how we helped thousands of restaurants convert to takeout and pop up markets. and how we're encouraging all americans to take out to give back. adversity came to town. so we looked it right in the eye. and it won't be us... ...that blinks first. it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. tide pods child-guard pack helps keep your laundry pacs in a safe place and your child safer. align, press and unzip. tide pods. keep them up. keep them closed. keep them safe. how do you gaveeno® happy 24/7? with prebiotic oat. it hydrates and softens skin. so it looks like this. and you feel like this. aveeno® daily moisturizer

so let's talk about that.

dr. jorge rodriguez, a pleasure, a welcome, sir. >> like wise, so glad to have you back. >> thank you very much. the first wave will follow binomial a series of smaller waves with one or two year period. what does it look like? >> these things are models and they are realistic models made by intelligent people. i grew up in florida, think of those models for hurricane, it made it closer and further away. model number one is we just went through one wave. that we are going to get maybe you know a larger one coming up but then sort of the smoldering

and yes it is probably going to be some pockets that are hotter than others. everybody is getting a little bit of something. we are traveling to different parts of the country so that's what it looks like. that looks like some places are saying, some placers are stronger in restrictions and some places are looser but everyone is taking precautions all the time. >> with the report of the second scenario is the first wave of covid is followed by a larger wave, maybe the fall or winter and smaller waves next year. what conditions do you think will have to be in place for that scenario to play out. >> the conditions may have to be in place of what we are having now. people are coming out and not

obeying it. this is a virus that's never been seen in humans before. it is like small pots brought to t americans. they have no immunity. we didn't have any immunity for this. right now in california only 4% have antibodies. if everybody comes out now and going wild, they'll go crazy. people who are infectious that are going out. he has a certain amount of time when people are asymptomatic and also infectious. if we go crazy too soon and if we have huge wave that comes up in the next six months to a

year, potentially, yes, killing millions of people and it puddles out for a year or two. >> let's hope it disnot ploes n out. i hear the fears there. the third scenario from this report, they're talking about how there would be a slow burn of ongoing transmission, what do they mean by that. there is never going to be millions of people get ting infected or dying but it will be smoldering for years meaning that you will get the deaths of one or two people a day for many years. noif the any of these scenarios are bad. this one is manageable. a few people getting infected and transmitted. this one is lasting everyon lon. a couple of things people need

to watch around the fact that this is here to stay. it is not six months unless something happens. if there is a vaccine this could all be completely decrease. if there is medication to treat it then people get over it quickly unless it spreads. >> there will be right as we are hearing remdesivir to be working or maybe fauci is talking about this vaccine coming around in january. if those things happen. >> right, if remdesivir turning out to be a game changer, if you decrease the number of people that get ill by 30%, that's huge. otherwise, we are going to have to rely on mother nature and mother nature says in order for a community to be safe which is what we call hurd community, you need 60 or 70 deeper sense of everybody to be immune to it so

it does not spread. some countries are experimenting this and sweden, not so successful. they have more team getting infected than dying. so we have to find a balance. we have to find a balance. >> obviously you read my mind on that balance. dr. rodriguez, you are seeing patients and you are in california and gavin newsom have said - how do you thread the needle? i talked to a barber shop owner from yesterday from vacaville, brooke, i am going to provide for my phfamily and we are goin to reopen. you can understand why he wants to do that but on the other for all other reasons you provided, health, safety, we should stay-at-home. what do you tell patients.

. >> you are stuck in the middle. at the end of the day, you cannot force someone to take a pill after you write a prescription. a good doctor is a good sales man so you have to convince people if they understand it. you do what you want but a, don't get near me and don't call me at 3:00 in the morning. obviously -- obviously you are calling me at 3:00 in the morning is you have to take care of them. i love what gavin newsom is doing in california because he's showing clear and concise leadership which is what i think, it is like federally. we need a three-prong approach which is what's happening here. we need treatments and policies for immediate and we need policies for the short term right to open up and that's what we need information for like who's safe to go to work? who should stay home? we need policies for the long-term because this is going to be for many years and i get

it. we are all suffering economically and socially, we need intelligence to drive this. we need it quickly. what do i tell my patients? this is my recommendation a, at the end of the day you are going to do what you want to but the danger is it is not just affecting you, all right? it is not just your freedom or your family's freedom. you sneeze on me and it is about me and my family's freedom also. >> thank you for that. you have been excellent. dr. jorge rodriguez, thank you so much. we'll talk again. >> i am so glad you are here, brooke. >> good to be back. good to be healthy again. nobody wants this thing. speaking from experience. as senators voice their concerns are returning to washington next week. we are learning capitol physicians don't have enough tests for all members. so that's kind of an issue. plus one california mayor says

families and worried the they should be. so we want to find the balance. we want to find a balance approach. we would like to have mobile control and make our decisions for our local folks here. if the statewide numbers like they are here, we would not have the situation we are having now. we ha we have an officer who covers two counties to come up plans to get ourselves phase in reopening. we don't want to ignore the science, we don't want any part of that. i think we have room to start getting people gradually getting back to work.

literally people wanting to know what they can do for their business. >> i want to hear about those conversations you are having with small business owners. let me backup a second and let me play this clip from governor newsom from earlier this week. >> the reality is we are a few weeks away, not months away from making measurable and meaningful changes to our stay-at-home order. that is a very optimistic point to emphasize. however, that's driven by behavior and as we change our behavior, we can impact the science and the health and the data. this virus does not take the weekends off. this virus does not go home because it is a beautiful sunny day around our coast. >> so i understand and yuba city's number is very different. to the governor's point, the virus does not take the weekends

off. how do you respond to that? >> i completely agree. the folks are making it a political issue and misguided. i do agree with that. we have to be taking a smarter approach and considering science and verifiable science and if people are taking proper precautions and we are working on the final details of our plans. we'll lower that risk and allowing people back to work. >> to your point you told your producer that hair salon owner was knocking on your door and came to your doorsteps and wants to reopen and i know that reflects other small business owners in your neck of the woods. we'll stay in contact with you and see how this all goes moving for r wawa forward. mayor shon harris there. here is the question, can we go to the beach this summer?

for coronavirus. it joins other meat processing plants that would have to temporarily shutdown because of this outbreak. with me now is brian browning, a commissioner at indiana where this plant is located. 900 workers testing positive when i read this story. have you wrapped your head around that number? >> with went through testing last week to see where they actually stood and how many sick people or was so we can figure out a game plan going forward. >> i know tyson announced the facility will reopen next week for limited production. how much pressure is on the plant right now to reopen and where is the pressure coming

from? >> we are an agriculture community and a lot of our hog producers here that's where their hogs go. they have been working close with our health department to get a clear staff to get the plant back open. >> i was just talking to a hog farmer the other day and he was saying the exact same thing. he would have to start euthanizing hogs this week which of course he did not want to do. he's running out of room and if you can't take them to the next step in the food chain, are you back to the pressure though? are you feeling any pressure even from in directly or directly from the white house because we know the president wants these plants rolling,

open? >> when i got words the other day that executive order is coming down, we have been in a lot of talks with tyson and we had a plan moving forward. it did have some concerns. we stayed with the plan we had and working with tyson to get the plant back opening. they took that pressure off. more is just known of what we can do in the community. you don't know for local community but hog producers in the state and the plant here brings hogs in from nine states. so it is regional. there is a lot of pressure and some stocks with congressmen and stuff and if we have a good plan going and all the help we needed to get it done. >> do you feel like you do, ryan? >> no, we got a plan -- they

have additional companies coming into help and keeping an eye on employees and screen them as they come into work to be looking for signs and symptoms off the day. >> if i can jump in. what are employees saying to you? what are you hearing from them? >> they have bringing them into do more education and they do have certain different languages in the plant and get additional translators and every help and get the message out there that it is safe to go back to work. >> all right. we'll follow you and see how these folks are doing there and the commissioner, ryan browning, i hear this is a regional thing. thank you so much for coming on. i appreciate it. good luck. bill gates revealed why it

a new warning about coronavirus testing here in the u.s. bill gates on cnn's coronavirus town hall last night raising red flags saying we don't know the full extent of the outbreak

because we're getting false numbers from the way we're currently testing. listen to what he said. >> the united states does not prioritize who gets tested. and the united states does not make sure you get answers within 24 hours. you know, we have an authorized kiosks or home testing, that's still regulatory tied up. our testing numbers should never be compared. high income person, you can get tested a lot of times. if you're low income, you're not likely to get tested at all. so our system fails to have the prioritization that would give us an accurate picture of what's going on. >> right now in the u.s., the testing estimated 200,000 people per day. and gates said the number has to go way up in order to be effective. dr. celine with us. this is hitting latino

community, african-american communities disproparortionatel hard. why does diversity in testing matter so much right now? >> we want to make sure the people who are most likely to transmit the infection on to others are prioritized for testing and the other group you would want to prioritize is anybody at high risk for disease or seems sick already. unfortunately in the u.s. who gets access to something has to do with money, has to do with your insurance, has to do with your connections, and that's not really the best way to prioritize testing right now if what we're really trying to do is stop transmission. >> here's a question. that i know a lot of people would like an answer to in terms of can we go to the beach this summer. we've heard from the former cdc director dr. thomas friedman this as far as we should be able to go to the beach. here he was. >> in fact, much safer than

indoor places. so beaches, parks, bicycling, hiking, these are great things to do. great for the spirit, and outdoors is a great way to reduce risk. now, we have 100,000 people on huntington beach, that's a little different. but with sensible precautions, the great outdoors is a great way forward. >> so dr. this sounds optimistic. this will be critical in the fight against covid-19. so should we go to the beach this summer? >> i think if local officials were approaching this cautiously, they would have restrictions on how many people could go to the beach to make sure you don't have more than a certain number of people in a crowded space is important even if you are outside. in new york city, our beach is

central park. so i think a similar kind of situation applies there where we love to go out and bathe in the summers, so you'll have to see control over the numbers who could do that so closely together. >> dr. celine gounder, thank you very much. we'll wait and see what they tell us to do this summer. in the meantime, this is the drug that dr. fauci said may be the key to making people better once they fall ill with coronavirus. we'll talk live to one of the first patients who received this drug remdesivir. also ahead, cnn returns to the spanish hospital that showed so much horror weeks ago. see what we found. and the new white house press secretary will give her first white house briefing just a short time from now. to be a t. i've been teaching for over 20 years. with everything going on, we've had to alter our classroom settings. we have to transition into virtual learning. on the network, we can have teachers face-to-face with a student in live-time. they can raise their hand and ask questions.

businesses must shut down from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., between those hours, and this is because there are more than 1,000 cases of coronavirus in that city of 22,000 people and there have been more than 200 cases reported over the last couple of days. so when you do the math on that, it is -- and city officials are concerned there is no sign of the virus slowing down, the spread of the virus slowing down and there's also a great deal of concern as we've done some reporting on in the gallop, new mexico, area about the toll that it is taking on the medical resources there in that small community. so gallop, new mexico, just west of the albuquerque, new mexico, area, a bit of a remote area, not an incredibly small town but a place with 22,000 people, the medical resources are not capable of withstanding the onslaught of so many
