welcome to "360." states beginning to partially reopen, at least 32 by end of the week, as fda approves emergency use of the first treatment, remdesivir. not a cure but washington doctor told cnn he'll be giving it to every infected patient however. there is some caution tonight, new report from university says will continue to spread at least two more years. we'll talk to the group that published the report about the road ahead. cdc says in new report that summer will be critical months and we'll need mass testing and

medical facility if this country is to withstand a possible second wave in the fall. we'll talk to los angeles mayor eric garcetti about the push to reopen in california, even by his own governor gavin newsom, said partial reopening would be no longer weeks but days. start with erica hill in the epicenter in new york. what is the latest? >> reporter: in new york we're learning that nypd will have more than 1,000 officers out this weekend, to enforce social distancing and educate the public. students in new york state will not return this academic year, k-12 and colleges as well. for fall says districts may need to reimagine school as we watch so many other states reopen. mardi gras, a medical conference in boston, large funeral in

georgia, all three february events likely helped fuel the spread of coronavirus in the u.s. new findings from cdc confirm what many have suspected. also single out role of international travel and work places like meat packing plants, nursing homes and dense urban areas like new york city. lack of testing also contributed. news comes as 32 states move to reopen by the weekend, though none appear to have met white house guidelines for decline in cases. >> we still have a virus in this community, it does not care if it's may 1st, you have to take extreme precautions for your safety and those you love. >> reporter: diners in texas reclaiming activity. >> i was ready. >> reporter: beaches, malls, movie theaters though at reduced

capacity. >> we really had to think, are we ready? >> reporter: california's governor says his state is now days, not weeks away from being able to reopen some shops and restaurants with restrictions. >> just want folks to know we're getting very close to making really meaningful augmentations to the stay-at-home order. >> reporter: that announcement came as protesters gathered in huntington beach calling for end to governor's order closing beaches in orange county. in alabama beach goers were ready as restrictions were lift there'd, shoppers and stores adapting in oxford, mississippi. >> lower the records down so they don't have to come close or touch us. >> reporter: fresh concerns about safety of meat processing plants and food supply. shoppers in military commissaries limited in anticipation of possible

shortages. new report says virus could be with us 18 months until 70% of the population has been infected. >> this is here to stay for a long period of time. >> reporter: work continues on a virus. a warning. >> just saying i have a vaccine and throw it to people, what people don't appreciate, could be negative effects of enhancement of infection. >> reporter: as americans wait, they're also honoring those we've lost. in connecticut, thousands of white flags, one for each person in the state who has died as result of the virus. pastor says the memorial is a somber reminder we're in this together. as we all know, so important to remember all the lives lost. like the couple whose daughter you spoke to, also important to

focus on the hope. you and your son wyatt have given people across the country and world a lot of hope. i'm thrilled for both of you. add my voice to the congratulations. he's a very lucky boy. >> erica, i appreciate that from you. you have a family you've created i'll be coming to you for advice. thank you. joining us, dr. sanjay gupta, dr. oesterholm, paper that predicted the virus to spread for years. more people to become infected and immune before the pandemic can end. how does that square with social distancing measures, the idea to keep people from getting infected or delay them getting infected so health care workers -- the health care system can catch up. >> thank you anderson, and i too

offer congratulations to you and wyatt, as grandfather who hasn't seen my grandchildren because of social distancing i appreciate what you have very much. >> thanks. >> important message is this virus is going to try to find more people to infect until it does that. all the measures slow it down, no one believes it will stop it. look at asian countries, supposedly had in place comprehensive programs, they're still having challenges and problems. our report was just saying until 60% to 70% of the u.s. population has been infected and hopefully has immunity or we have a vaccine that accomplishes that same 60% to 70%, we're going to be fighting this virus. >> sanjay, lot of people comparing what's happening in sweden where they haven't had restrictive measures, and i guess the idea was building up

herd immunity, 60%, 70% of the population trying to get it over with, i guess. how -- is what we're doing here going to end up with same end results of sweden but take longer to help the health care system and hopefully reduces total possible deaths? >> yeah, i think part of this was trying to -- when we say flatten the curve -- to basically say we don't want to overwhelm the health care systems. places with really high fatality rates -- sweden's fatality rate, smaller country but it's higher than ours, not surprising considering they're not doing these things. part of the flattening of the curve was not overwhelm the hospital systems so people die because they can't get care. part of this is a little bit of a race as dr. osterholm is

talking about, we'd do well to listen to him, he's been prophetic on all of this. if we can get a good therapeutic, seeing glimmers of hope with remdesivir, or get a vaccine and outpace this, maybe can reduce the deaths. but all along with flattening of the curve, it's double-edged thing, you're lengthening the course of this when you flatten the curve but may have a lot of people ultimately who get infected, just over longer period of time. >> your report is so important, talks about three likely scenarios for virus going forward, lasting another 18 months, two years. can you explain what they are, why so long? >> we want to believe we can understand what this thing is going to do but we're at edge of our experience, what we know about influenza pandemic.

if it were, would happen in the fall, another peak. this is coronavirus, one scenario that scares all of us, where sanjay just said, we'll exhaust the health care system and bring it almost to its knees. other two scenarios we considered is what if it just has what i call a whole lot of foothills to it, ups and downs in one city, one state, one county, one country, then quiets down like we've seen here in past month? or what it it's just a slow burn, continues, every month we see the cases occur and they keep accumulating. but what we're talking about, going to get to 60% or 70% one way or another, vaccine or over time, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months or 24 months. that's what we have to remind people, in for the long haul.

>> if we're going to get to that place anyway, why not do what sweden did -- i think i know the answer, number of people that would die with health system overwhelmed would be untenable. >> you have to remember sweden is only at 30% of the population infected and hopefully has immunity to it. they have a long ways to go too, they're not there. in our case we're hoping we can postpone enough cases without crippling society to have the vaccine catch up to the virus, meaning we get vaccine in time to block the virus from completing the 60% to 70% picture. and that just stops massive transmission. will still be transmission. fewer cases before a vaccine, get a vaccine. that's what we need to do. >> dr. michael osterholm, thank

you. sanjay, going to see you in a moment. every course of action depends on finding a vaccine. dr. fauci took part in the coronavirus town hall. what he said about the search. >> everybody wants to get a vaccine for the safety of their country and if possible make it available to the world. i can only speak to what we're doing, we have a core group of number of candidates we at nih, fda, dod included are working together now to try to get a situation where we can get something done that's safe, effective and quick and that you can scale up. >> joining me now dean of the school of tropical medicine and director for center for vaccine development at children's hospital, currently working on covid-19 vaccine. how realistic do you think the

goals set by the administration around a vaccine are? >> going to first add to the recommendations, wyatt when you're ready for med program -- >> i'll let him know, thank you. >> congratulations. >> thanks. what do you think about the administration goals? >> well, look. there's no question there needs to be an effort to accelerate a vaccine. what we're seeing now is at least a dozen candidates going into clinical trials, hopefully including ours over the summer, may get at least 20 candidates. reason you're doing that is to get as many shots on goal as you can. concept is not that complicated. you have to create an immune response to the spike protein to prevent it from binding to the receptor. question is what's best way to do that. number of ways to do it in

experimental animals, so hearing about rna vaccines, combinant protein vaccines like ours, we don't know what will be best in human clinical trials, what works best and safest. taking that time, year or 18 months to figure that out is the bottleneck. >> heard you say that vaccine while important technology to fight a virus, it's not necessarily a silver bullet. what do you mean by that? >> you'll probably have multiple vaccines that come out, 90% don't just -- 90% will probably drop off. then have two or three vaccines hopefully at end of this, some work better than others. other thing to mention is united states history often is first vaccine that is ultimately licensed is not the vaccine that we wind up with. we have for instance the

influenza type b vaccine only worked in infants above one or two. then modified it, stuck the capsule on to a protein, made it better and used for infants. saw with the rona virus. usually verse 1.0 is not the one we end up with. >> even if there's one in 18 months, might not work for most people and does it take another 18 months to modify or is that a faster process? >> sometimes it's faster, sometimes it can take a couple of years after that. so what you're going to see is rollout of multiple vaccines and technologies. i love nick osterholm, he's usually right bah that 60% to 70%, between now and then might have a form of preexposure

prophylaxis for covid-19. might have better treatments. you're going to see a whole lot of new technologies rolled out over the next year. >> do we know -- we don't know for sure if antibodies equal immunity right? that's kind of thing still in back of my mind that makes me very worried. what if people who have had coronavirus are not immune? >> i think it's going to turn out they will. we saw it with sars one, if you had antibodies to the spike protein, seem to be protected. chinese did it in rhesus mac auks. i think for -- maybe those have

susceptible to reinfection or have quickly waning immunity. we don't know for certain, brand new virus but i think it's good probability that those who get a full-blown covid-19 infection, symptomatic, develop antibodies, will be resistant to reinfection some period of time. sars one varied one to several years. it's brand new virus, going to learn a lot in coming years. >> hope you're right. echos what most experts say. dr. hotez, thank you very much. still to come, mayor of los angeles, eric garcetti joins us. governor newsom says he'll begin to reopen the state in days not weeks. we'll talk about what that may look like in los angeles.

couple of days, what would that look like? >> i don't know if it means a couple of days but we have an order that runs through may 15th in current. hearing from the governor, done a great job of leading here in california. we've been bringing together people from different industries. even with stay-at-home order, in construction industry, able to inspect the workplace and get ppe to workers, haven't seen outbreak while continuing with critical infrastructure. it's not just a date but the process. what's the need, what's the risk, how much you can assess that risk and abate with it safety measures. if it's passing those tests, it's time to take steps forward, as he said prudently and smartly. >> do you see it happening in days, not weeks? >> depends how you count, 14

days is two weeks from -- >> you're going to stick with 14 before making adjustments? >> we're open to it. think it's so important for mayors and politicians to listen to the doctors. if they tell us it's safe to do x, y and x and we feel it, i'm focused on recreational spaces, retail and manufacturing, those sectors would be great initial steps, get some people back to work, outside to be healthy and get jobs back in the economy. >> places like retail and manufacturing, do you have a sense of what that looks like? is it for retail the stores have a -- people inside the stores? street entrance that people -- like right now i buy coffee from place next to me that used to be a bar but set up basically you don't go in, window on the

street where you get coffee, is that -- how would retail work? >> we've seen some work now. grocery stores open but also targets and big box stores or pharmacies, which have more than just medicine and food in them, have shown you can mandate rules, space people outside, limit how many people are in there. should go for mom and pop stores too. might need temperature checks for people, limit amount of time somebody can stay in there. but i'm concerned for small businesses. we've proven we can do this safely and bend the curve in l.a. i think we can do it across america. if we take steps, wait weeks, see the impact. go forward, freeze or retreat. it's that kind of -- what's difficult is it was clear closing down but messier

business but time to start trying it. we have info and examples around the world. i think we can do that with confidence. >> how are you in los angeles with testing and contact tracing? >> testing, we were first big city to announce we're not only testing symptomatic people but two days ago opened up to folks without symptoms, we're able to keep up with the demand so far, it's critical for moving forward. tracking and tracing, the county health department has done a good job but i'm calling for nationwide cares corps, with mayor of new york city and -- who used to run the fda, need people, senator kunze is introducing it soon. what peace corps was, get people back to work, get contact tracing we need to have

confidence this won't spread more quickly. >> do you know how many people you would need for contact tracing in los angeles? >> probably need a couple thousand people for county of 10 million. 300,000 for the country, might be more than that, 3% of the population lives in los angeles county for the nation more or less. could be as much as that, according to those stats, 9,000 people. it's great way to get young people to have summer job, unemployed back to work. and we have a lot of city workers who can't go back to libraries. london breed in san francisco enlisting them as supplemental staff, already on the payroll, put them to work in new role. >> mayor garcetti, appreciate the time -- >> before we go, one quick thing, i know in midst of all of this, you had amazing thing happen. my daughter maya, we wanted to

congratulate you on the birth of wyatt. couldn't give it in person but amazing to see this happen in midst of crisis. congratulations. >> i peaced to the a nursery in midst of this, nothing hanging on the walls, i'll hang that. >> all love. >> thank you mayor, thanks maya. up next, sanjay and sean penn in atlanta. o make an averae of over 600 million calls and send nearly 8 billion texts every day... you do whatever it takes. many of life's moments in thare being put on hold. are staying at home, 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.

there's little doubt there is more testing available as the coronavirus pandemic continues, thankfully. also little doubt much more is needed. in atlanta, sean penn and his organization are helping as many people as they can. >> it's a call to arms but a call to unity in the country that's skiexhilarating to be pa

of, win or lose. >> reporter: sean penn with his organization core is in the fight. trying to fill in gaps in emergencies like he did in haiti in 2010. now during this pandemic, his focus is on testing. >> reality is that in a time where we know there are limited ppe and test kits available for these operations, reality is that we should be testing, retesting and retesting. >> reporter: reopening here in georgia will look like this next few days. problem is many people without symptoms could be still spreading the virus. that is why testing is so crucial. to know that you don't have the virus before going into public. >> you think of testing generally, at doctor's office or hospital or something like that, obviously these are unusual circumstances, but is this necessary? is this because there are gaps

in testing overall in atlanta? >> most definitely, everywhere, not just atlanta. we need to have a huge volume of people tested, relying on existing infrastructure is not possible. >> reporter: how much is enough to get country up and running? harvard researchers say 5 million tests per day by early june and by late summer nearly whole country would need to be tested every 14 days, 20 million tests a day. it's a number white house task force member admiral brett giroir told "time" magazine there's absolutely no way on earth on this planet or any other planet that we can do 20 million tests a day or even 5 million tests a day. >> people denying the possibility are not talking to people who know what's possible. >> mercedes-benz stadium in

atlanta, how did this come together for core? >> this was sort of a direct extension of what we were doing in los angeles. in that situation, we -- it occurred to us we had a model to share, our los angeles site of this size can do above 1,000 tests per day in single site. >> reporter: like in los angeles offering the diagnostic swab test for free through appointments on their county website. >> every essential worker, symptomatic or asymptomatic are invited to be tested. we're beginning with criteria of symptomatics if they're essential workers. >> reporter: and not just health care workers, anyone on the front line, grocery workers, delivery people, ride share and transit drivers, those in

construction. hope is not to take over the world of testing, that's going to require major steps by public health agencies and commercial labs, but it is about creating a model on a smaller scale where cities can team up with organizations ready to help in this time of crisis. >> and sanjay joins us now. also bring in danielle allen, director of harvard center for ethics. you emphasized the need to massively scale up testing. you heard admiral brett giroir saying it's just not possible, 5 million is not possible, is he wrong? >> to be clear about our numbers, we advocate 5 million a day with good contact tracing. if contact tracing is not effective, then you need 20 million a day. not exactly sure what the admiral meant, the white house

testing blueprints on monday points to innovation pathway, significant number of tests. blueprints include that genome sequencing could turn on to testing. 400 sequencing machines in the country, each could do 750,000 samples a day. we have the capacity, white house blueprint pointed straight to it. interesting conversation. >> it's amazing in your estimation the difference between 5 million tests a day and 20 million is contact tracing. do you have a sense for contact tracing? >> mayor talked about 300,000 nationwide, that's good number to be focused on. important that every state and local government is making a clear plan.

that's what matters now. cdc changed guidance for monday, includes asymptomatic people are now a priority, they were not previously. guidance for asymptomatics is according to the local and state plans. though we've hit that point where every municipality and state government needs to figure out its own targets for testing and that will answer the questions how much contact tracing we need. >> one of the things we were talking about with bill gates is home testing, quick turnaround times. what is hold up on that? gates is saying there's data to show other forms of swabs, not just this one particular one are effective. is it -- he was talking about fda, there's an approval process. do we know what the holdup is on that? >> i think some of it is the same supply chain issues you've

had with the other tests. as was just mentioned, the testing capacity has improved, some of what i think gibill gat was talking about, able to do it in home and getting results back which would be better obviously. one of the big concerns is someone gets tested, couple of days goes by before they get results and they're out there asymptomatically potentially infecting people. that would be a significant move if we could do that. we're not there yet. other thing is, you see big testing sites like what sean has set up, but the idea of having more point of location testing. so at workplaces, places where people actually are, being able to take testing to them there as opposed to people coming to sites for testing. i think we'll see more of that happen as well. >> sanjay, professional allen,

thank you. >> thank you. >> coreresponse.org/covid19. as more and more states begin to slowly open up, bound to be anxiety whether people are vulnerable to the virus, we'll take you to lab to see what unprotected cough looks like and potential danger is poses. 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. if you have a garden you know, weeds are low down little scoundrels. with roundup sure shot wand you don't need to stoop to their level.

well, i wouldn't have done any of it without you. without this place. this is for you. michael, you didn't have to... and, we're going to need some help with the rest. you've worked so hard to achieve so much. perhaps it's time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. as we've been reporting, great many states are beginning the slow process of opening up the economy, doesn't mean the virus is less contagious or deadly when we found out about it in march. if you're one of millions of americans now wearing a mask or thinking about it, next story is significant. how far an unprotected cough can travel and what the impacts will

be. lab in florida where they can measure these things. >> heavy cough, three, two, one. >> reporter: inside this lab at florida atlantic university, two engineering professors are measuring the power of a cough. >> three, two, one. >> reporter: using a dummy, fill its mouth with glycerin and water, then with a pump, force the dummy to cough, wait to see how far the droplets travel. they fill the air, visible with green laser light, simulating what happens when we cough. >> generates 10 to 20 microns, close to the smallest droplet sizes when we cough. >> reporter: take note how quickly this simulated droplets spread. expelled three feet almost immediately. within five seconds, six feet, then nine feet in just about ten

seconds. nine feet is three feet beyond the recommended social distancing guidelines. >> already reaching roughly nine feet and moving farther, slowly. >> reporter: fog of droplets lingered but kept moving forward, another three feet in 40 seconds. >> closer to 12 feet now. >> reporter: yes, he said 12 feet. over and over again the simulated droplets blew past the six-foot mark, often doubling that distance. >> it has pasted three feet, approaching six feet. and looks like it has crossed six feet. and now it has slowed down. >> reporter: how long might they linger at nine and 12 feet? >> nine feet could linger two to three minutes, but the -- the concentration is less than what

it would be at six feet, by a factor of eight. >> reporter: professors say the droplets are less dense further they travel but still hang in the air and can carry disease. even with a simple mask on the dummy, particles dispersed frommfrom the sides of the mask. doesn't travel far. supposed to cough into elbow. if you do with hand, turn off the lights. simulate the cough. droplets spray in all directions, don't travel as far but spray everywhere and can linger in air for as long as three minutes. intensity of the cough matters. tested a gentle cough too. didn't go far at all, about three feet but question remains,

how close is too close. do you think that six feet is enough for social distancing? >> six feet is minimum distance you should keep. seems that -- >> further is better? >> further is better. >> it's amazing to see that randi, blows me away. guessing different results outside? >> reporter: absolutely. we shot that indoors in small lab. outside would be completely different story, even with a slight breeze like i'm feeling in florida tonight, jet or droplets would disperse upward, to the side, wouldn't travel far, three or four feet but indoors how long they hang in the air. at times, maybe three or four minutes. walked into elevator, restaurant now they're starting to open, somebody had coughed, you didn't know about it, droplets would still be in the air.

sneeze is much more powerful, would be more droplets traveling further. not comforting. but as i toss it back to you, anderson, we're all finding comfort in >> thank you. >> and just tell you how thrilled i am for you. how beautiful wyatt is. i'm going to virtually pinch those little cheeks of his. >> randi, thank you very much. really appreciate it. well, it was the reality that randi was just showing us is partly why many businesses are keeping their doors closed, even if they are allowed to open. jamie booth, an owner of a hair salon in georgia is making that decision. jamie, thanks for joining us. i'm sorry it's under these circumstances. georgia's obviously been on the forefront of opening back. just talk about the decision not to open. >> the decision not to open is based on looking into what the cdc has to say, what the mayor of atlanta has to say, and what science has to say versus what

everyone else is doing in georgia or what some people are doing in georgia right now. because i'm seeing the numbers climb every day in georgia. and as much as i want to go back into my salon and open my doors, as the numbers are climbing, i still don't feel comfortable doing hat. >> you and i spoke, was it a week ago or two weeks ago? >> one week ago. >> one week ago. and you had customers calling you saying, you know what, not saying i want to book an appointment, but saying, you know, how are you doing? stay safe. don't do something that endangers yourself. >> yes. and for the most part, they're still saying that. of course they've got another week's worth of growth on their hair, so i'm sure some of them are getting frustrated and wondering when i'm going to open the doors, but they are being supportive of me because i know they think i'm making the right decision. everybody wants to stay safe. i still stand by my decision as the numbers climb in georgia and i still don't feel safe opening up yet. >> i want people to understand,

this is a really difficult -- this is a difficult decision for a lot of people. in your case, you've been cutting hair for over two decades. >> yeah. >> it's your main source of income. it's the only source of income you have, from the number of haircuts you give every week. that's a really tough decision. >> it is. and i've gone through, you know, i go through so many different emotions every day. i've done so many things like i did call my mortgage company to find out about their forebarnbee program. i'm doing that. i've got the bills at the salon. the bills at my house. i'm a single mom of a 16-year-old son. i am the only financial provider for both of us. i'm just going to figure this out as i go along because i feel in my heart it's the only choice i have right now. >> i understand you were contacted by somebody who talked about possibly paying your rent and your mortgage? >> yes, i was. i've had a lot of people reach out and show me kindness and love. i could tell stories for the next hour. there was a lady by the name of
