sunny weather proves just too tempting for some. signs of a lockdown fatigue in some areas of the u.s. still under threat of the coronavirus. that's as most u.s. states are easing restrictions. but the new normal isn't business as usual. and from quiet to pop culture icon. a new series that documents basketball legend michael jordan's final season. hello and welcome to cnn newsroom, i'm anna coren. we begin in the u.s. where many states are coshingly coming back to life amid concerns some of

them are going too far, too fast. they're eegz coronavirus restrictions to some degree. even though officials ask people not to cluster. they were watching a military fly over honoring health care workers and first responders. the city's mayor told cnn that for the most part new yorkers are compliant. >> but families have been doing that the right way and people are overwhelmingly abiding by that social distancing. more and more putting on the face coverings. we're giving them out for free. so, new yorkers have been pretty amazing following rules in a place where it's tough. >> meantime, andrew cuomo announced for the first time

ever the subway will shut down each night five hours for deep cleanic. cleaning. and protests erupted after california's governor ordered some beaches closed. the u.s. has about one-third thoif total 3.4 million coronavirus cases in the world with more than 66,000 deaths. in the u.k. more than 600 people have died in the last day alone and now could passilitially for the most coronavirus deaths in europe. in spain, people were allowed to go out for fresh air on saturday. and in china, where the virus is believed to be originate, shanghai reports 1 million visitors over the first few days of the main day holiday. one of the hardest hsector f the u.s. economy is retail. the largest mall operator in the

u.s. says more than two dozen of the locations reopened friday across eight states. and five more in georgia are said to open monday. natasha chen spoke about the era of social distancing. >> translator: in georgia, the state that has taken the most aggressive measures in georgia, a new month brought with it an entirely new place to get out of the house. >> first of all, scary and exciting for our tenants to be able to open back up. >> reporter: it expired for most georgiaens. though extended for vulnerable and elderly populations to stay in place until june. they allowed retail stores to open up about a week after barber shops and tattoo parlors. an upscale outdoor mall, they redied the grounds for shopping

in the socially distant era. >> all the common area furniture have been placed six feet apart. >> reporter: but only one-fifth of the shops were open. altered states, a woman's clothing store, was one of the few open. >> of course there is that fear but we're take going precautions to make sure that doesn't happen and have a lot of sterileizing everything. we have the option to wear masks. we wear glovers at the cash wrap to make sure we're not touching anything. >> reporter: steaming every article of clothing a customer tries on and regularly disinfecting the fitting rooms. and because only ten people, including employees are allowed inside at a time, we found kate martin at the end of the line. >> i'm a nurse. so, instinctively i think too

contagious. it's a very contagious disease. so, i think it might be too soon to be this close together. we'll see. >> reporter: but you're here? >> i am. >> reporter: she's wearing a mask, which the mall is giving to its customers. but not everyone is. >> they should be burt they don't take it seriously. >> reporter: the retired nurse had a message for the people who could be giving it to more vulnerable populations. >> give doo it for your grandmother. let's talk more about the closed beaches in southern california. the gradual reopening of the u.s. not happening there this weekend. now three sitacities in orange county are taking the governor to court over the decision.

>> reporter: here on huntington beach, an eery scene. the beach completely empty after judge lets in governor newsom's closure of orange county's beaches. people for huntington beach and others have launched a legal assault, arguing among other things he was violating the constitutional right, saying he made his decision from a podium in san francisco that had used photos from the ground that did not reveal what newport city officials said from the air, which was there was social distancing last weekend. basically what happened in the end is the judge upheld governor newsom's order but not before some heated arguing, especially by the newport beach city attorney. >> they've done a remarkable job and not withstanding, he orders the shutting of our beaches. if it was state-wide concern, he

would have closed all the beaches up and down the state. he's picking on orange courty and huntington beach. the data about spread and cases and deaths in huntington beach orange county do not support the beach closure. >> reporter: a deputy attorney general arguing for the governor says this is not a case of singling out orange county. it's more of a need to social distance in the middle of a pandemic. and sporadic protests popping up, all asserting governor newsom overstepped his bounds. if there's any silver lining, it indicated he may start to reopen parts of california, beginning as early as monday. reporting from huntington beach, now back to you. the mechanics of a cough. as we saw the coronavirus peek, they likely debuted little

thought and two at a university in florida are showing us how powerful a cough can be. >> reporter: inside this lab at florida atlantic university, two professors are measuring the power of a cough. >> two, one. >> reporter: using a dummy, they fill its mouth with a mix of glisn are and water. then with a pump, force the dummy to cough. then wait to see how far the droplets travel. they nil air. visible with the green laser light, simulating what happens when we cough. >> it's particles on the order of 10 to 20 microns, which is roughly closest to what the smallest droplets are when we cough. >> reporter: take note how quickthry simulated droplets spread. they travelled the distance of three feet almost immediately.

within five seconds, they were at six feet, then nine feet in just about ten seconds. remember, nine feet is three feet beyond a reasonable doubt the recommended social distancing guidelines. >> between roughly nine feet and moving farther. >> reporter: droplets lingered in the air and kept moving forward, taking another 30 to 40 seconds to float another three feet. yes, he said 12 feet. over and over again the simulated droplets blew past the six-foot mark, often doubling the distance. >> and approaching six feet. and it looks like it has crossed six feet. and it has slowed down. >> reporter: how long might they linger at 12 feet and 9 feet? >> they linger due to three minutes. okay.

the concentration is less than what it would be at six feet by a factor of eight. >> reporter: he says they become less dense the further they travel but still hang in the air, still with the ability to carry disease. and watch this. even when we put a simple mask on the dummy, particles disperse from the sides of the mask, though they didn't travel very far. certainly, if you're not wearing a mask, you're supposed to cough into your elbow. i'll put my hand against the mouth of this dummy and simulate a cough. you can see the droplets spray lin directions. they may not travel as far, maybe three feet or so, but they spray everywhere. and they can linger in the air, possibly as long as flthree minutes. we tested a gentle cough too. the lighter cough didn't go very far at all.

about three feet. but the question remains how close is too close? do you think, based on what you have seen in your own lab, six feet is enough for social distancing? but furgther is better? >> further is better. >> reporter: cnn. we have this news just in. north korea has fired several bull lts across the boarder into the demilitarized zone. they say the shots were fired towards a south korean guard post. but no casualties or damage have been reported. the south korean military responded by broadcasting a verbal warning and returning fire twice. it says according to protocol, this is not the first time something like this has happened. there were brief exchanges of gun fire in both 2014 and 2016. it's not known what caused the latest exchange .

british prime minister and carry simons announced their son's name saturday on instagram. the name nicolas is to honor the two doctors who mr. johnson says saved his life during his recent bout with coronavirus. now both named nick and the other names are the grandfathers of the couple. we're learning more about boris johnson's time in intensive care. he told the son he was given liters of oxygen to keep him alive. and they were putting together strategic plans in case he didn't make it. joining us is nick peyton from london. it would appear his condition was even more serious than many realized. >> the prime minister, despite his office's own attempts to minimize, has a game returned to the near death nature of the experience in this interview,

saying it was a tough old moment. i won't deny it. obviously, you expect the government have contingency plans in the event he did succumb to the disease. and suggest there was an elaborate scheme to cover up his debt and that's what he's referring to. but again a bit, i think, to remind people in the united kingdom how incredibly lethally serious this disease is too. and take the headlines away from a story which is increasingly pointing to britain being slowly in the days ahead, the worst death toll in europe. very close to overtaking italy's horrifying toll there. and this is drawing increased scrutiny of exactly what the was the united kingdom did. boris johnson has always said he was happy with the timing of the lockdown.

but there's a lot of focus on what happened before that and what the exit strategy is now for the u.k. >> reporter: britain is close to having europe's worst death toll. so, what did it do wrong or differently? when global alarm bells were ringing loudly, the u.k. was clear it wouldn't lockdown too early and some spread was unavoidable, even desirable. >> if they go too early, they become very fatigued. and it's not desirable. because you want some immunity in the population. >> reporter: hindsight always give as clearer, unfair verdict. now new figures show the death toll in england was larger than known in the days leading up to lockdown. >> i shook hands with everybody, you'll be pleased to know. >> reporter: four people already died in england when he was

criticized for going ahead and ended, the u.k. toll was officialsy 10 when 58 have di died and when the lockdown slammed the door shut, publicly the toll was 359, but really 847 died in england alone. should they have moved faster? >> there's early signs looking at experience in some of the countries. we might be looking at slightly better results now. >> it's more likely to be next year. i. >> from different countries and different things have been done. >> if you've taken different measures, different times and different people would become infected. if we had come a week earlier, probably less people would have died up until now. but as the disease continues to spread in the population a different series of people died. >> reporter: contract tracing was a problem from the start,

dismissed and then heavily embraced. many grand schemes were announced from antibody tests, apps, a volunteer army. but this actually happened, nearly on time, albeit late. boris johnson was nearly killed by the disease at its peek. >> some has not been as consistent or clear. i give the government a bit of the benefit of the doubt. these are somewhat unpres depted times. >> reporter: still, the u.k. 's health service was not overwhelmed. even huge overflow hospitals in london were barely used. did the uk not protect them enough? or was there little that could be done? tough questions. that time and grief will answer.

now, some instruspection underway about what could have been done differently. perhaps not to score political points, but maybe to see if that can inform measures coming ahead. how to get britain out of a lockdown. and in fact, britains are reluctant to return to normal life because they fear the disease. so much is not known here. yes, the uk has a larger population than italy. i think many are looking at it having the largest death toll, maybe in the days and hours ahead and seeing that, possibly as a moment where how have they managed to have a health service, many believed would strain, but perform remarkably so far. yet, still so many lives were lost. i think many will look at how half the deaths, over 80, and quite how far boris johnson, in between his own extraordinary

narrative becoming a new father, surviving the disease itself. and other british populations to how they can get through the messy months ahead. and keep the death toll as low as possible. it's still over 700 a day reported dead. stifling numbers still. >> staggering indeed. as always, many thanks. israel, meanwhile is letting some schools reopen this sunday but local leaders aren't taking any chances. cnn oren is in jerusalem. are there concerns that authorities are reopening schools too soon? >> the answer is yes but perhaps not from a health perspective and that's because israel's numbers have been relatively good when it comes to much of europe and the united states.

there are about 16,000 confirmed cases and about 230 who have died as result of the coronavirus. but at this point there, are more recoveries than new infections. the government looks at those numbers, certainly positively. the decision was only made friday afternoon and confirmed some schools would reopen sunday. some of the biggest cities in the country, for example tel aviv have said look, you didn't give us as much of a heads up. we'll open later this week. and that's why there's concern they're not ready after such a quick note toosz reopen at this point. once schools and grades reopen, first, second and third. five out of the 12 grades. kindergartens and day cares will not reopen and the grades that do open will look differently. temperature will be taken, masks will be required. there will be social distancing.

and because of the numbers, school may have to happen in shifts. they're grappling with how to make this happen. but they've looked at the number of cases here and the number of deaths and decided it's okay to move forward. but it's gradual and will continue to be gradual. prime minister netanyahu warns restrictions could be put back in place quickly to avoid a worst-case scenario here. shifting gears, israel's political saga continues. the high court will hear challenges this week to the formation of the netanyahu government. tell us about what we're expecting. >> so, these are high court hearings about the coalition agreement between netanyahu and his former rival. the coalition agreement requires fundamental changes to israel's basic law. there have been appeals about this before.

and the question of can somebody, under indictment form a government? with only a few days left until they have to make a decision, the high court will hold a couple of days of hearings and will decide about what happened here. the coalition agreement requires fundamental agreements and can someone under indictment form a government? the makeup of the committees and do they include enough of the opposition members. and then we wait for decision from the high court. it will be an expanded panel of judges. because of the significance of this. and it's clear at this point, even written into the agreement, that if the high court says if you can't have this agreement, israel could still go to a fourth election. as crazy as that sounds and that means the political saga keeps on going. >> another election. hard to believe.

joining us from jerusalem. many thanks. at this time of the year, it is common for people to contract any of a number infectious diseases. this year has been a spike in fatalities. even as the coronavirus is spread around the world, some are calling these gifts mysterious. cnn's david mckinsey has more. >> reporter: the grave diggers are revealing a hidden trugts. an awful toll. the day before yesterday we buried 18 bodies he says. yesterday we buried 20 and today we have received 14. locales call this extreme hot season, the merger. the time each year when malaria and other infectious diseases converge. but this year is worse. the numbers are double than usual, he says. normally only bury six or seven a day. the government denies that a covid-19 outbreak is the cause.

the dead are mostly elderly and the numbers are rising fast. dread is rising with it. this video shows the region's mega hub of commerce and trade as it once was. it is not when they can afford to have infections spread unabated. >> heightened the fear and anxiety. >> reporter: they positioned an epidemiologist, says many doctors have no protective equipment. and with clinics closed due to covid-19, they're forced to treat patients in just a few hours before sending them home. >> so, what we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. so, in the next two, three weeks where we're dealing with a very massive spread of covid-19. >> reporter: the lockdown came later than elsewhere in nigeria. the federal government promises to scale up tests and send equipment.

even before covid-19, health care was never a guarantee but there were hard-fought gains. in june, the u.n. says it could be declared polio free after decades of immunization. but they fear that success could not be lost. a lot of support. the ice. >> state officials put the investigation into the rise of deaths. a valuable time has been lost. and it's already devastating. mckenzie, cnn. >> the race to find a vaccine. a magic medicine to make this all go away. how they're injecting a fortune

into a company that's never brought an improved vaccine to market. play lord of the rings. play my "straight outta the shire" playlist. i want to see the king. find lebron. search more cartoons. play the last o.g. take me to the streets, play sesame street. me want more cookies. find the things you love with a voice command. introducing at&t tv. with live tv and access to streaming apps. plug in and watch, with easy self-setup. shipped directly to you.

welcome back to cnn newsroom. i'm anna coren. the race is on. human trials are underway in the u.k., germany and u.s. but we found the u.s. is betting hundreds of millions on a company with unproven technology and a storied history. drew griffin explains.

>> reporter: three weeks ago ian hayden was injected with one of the first possible vaccines of the noble coronavirus. he takes his temperature several time as day and has not got sick. >> i have absolutely no symptoms. >> reporter: he was injected with a vaccine using a new medical technology developed by a company which has never had a drug or vaccine approved for market. synthesizing messenger rna. a molecule in a person's body, prompting the body to make its own medicine. in this case, prompting cells to kill off any novel coronavirus. in theory t should work. in reality, no one knows for sure. this meeting march 2nd, which president trump ran like an episode of "shark tank." >> we want it fast, okay.

>> reporter: most of the companies were talking about some time in 2021. maderna's ceo told the president this. >> get human data that will allow us to pick a therapeutic dose to start right away. >> reporter: dr. fauci tried to temperature the news as im. the next day the fda green lit the product for a trial and within weeks the federal government pledged to give them up to $83 million, more than any other vaccine company. maderna had an edge over other companies. they had already been collaborating on a vaccine for another similar virus. so, it was able to quickly pivot.

one working with a competitor is one of the experts who question whether the u.s. government's investment makes sense. >> if we want to have an impact on the pandemic, then we should be using vaccine platforms that have been proven to be safe and effective, rather than an unproven technology. >> reporter: the doctor, the chief medical officer, interviewed via computer from his base in boston. >> the public investment proportionally is a small investment on top of what this company has invested in its core technology for years now. >> reporter: for the last decade, they've been trying to use their technology to restore damaged tissues, cure heart disease and cure cancer. the results mixed. >> reporter: they have never brought a vaccine to market, never had a drug fda approved. and skeptics are wondering why your company was able to achieve this contract. >> we're a young company with an

emerging technology and for that yet, we have not brought anything to full licenser. we have time and again demonstrated clinical results across multiple vaccine applications. >> reporter: but vaccine development is tough. evilen the lead investigator at emory university says nothing is certain. >> if it's successful t could allow us to shorten the timeline for developing new vaccines in the future. but it comes with its own challenges. >> reporter: he says challenges for this type of vaccine include that it's difficult to store, difficult to mass produces and no one knows whether it's effective. they're testing maderna's vaccine on humans without waiting for animal trials, a speed unheard of before the pandemic. they're already preparing to produce their vaccine in quantities on the sheer hope it can be distributed almost immediately.

>> the biggest source of pressure is the fact that this is personal. i think for my colleague and i in the frontline of trying to develop a vaccine, it's an equal weight of the sense of potential that we can do something about it and a tremendous sense of responsibility tha responsibility that we have to do something about it. >> reporter: as maderna seeks to move to phase two and three of trials, it's partnerring to ramp up manufacturing. if this does get some sort of approval, they say they could begin delivering vaccines as early as late 2020 in the millions of dose as month and tens of millions by 2021. >> drew griffin reporting there. flying in a post pandemic world. what lies ahead for the future of air travel? we'll explore when we come back.

scores of people gathered in the u.s. capitol and other cities to watch a fly over of blue angels and air force thunderbirds. they were flying to honor first responders on the frontline. they urged people to stay home to watch but crowds did gather on city sidewalks. the investment group managed by warren buffett announced it sold its entire stake in the four largest u.s. airlines in april. that news as airlines are requiring passengers to wear face coverings and taking other measures to adapt to the new reality. aviation correspondent has more. >> reporter: a scene too similar to travel before this pandemic. new videos of packed planed

raising new fears about social distancing on flying and new calls to restrict air travel even further. jet blue became the first to require masks. calling it the new flying etiquette. now all major u.s. airlines, delta, front tear, southwest and united, have volunteered to do the same. but the leader of the association of flight attendants goes further, telling cnn there must be a federal ban of leisure travel by air. >> reporter: we're seeing more and more full flights without policies that really address proper social distancing. >> reporter: but the nation's air travel is at a virtual halt. nearly half of the jetliners are parked. only 5% are passing through checkpoints, compared to a year ago. traveling from washington d.c. to atlanta and back. it's hard to find someone not already wearing a mask.

airlines are stepping up their use of electro static sprayers to disinfelkt cabins. they're also not booking middle seats. hoping to keep up social distancing on board. industry groups say the average domestic flight is now carrying 17 passengers. up from ten passengers just over a week ago. >> i think people traveling are probably healthy. they're not ill or critical or in a bad situation. >> everybody should be wearing a mask. >> reporter: they gave airlines permission to start scaling back to small city airports. boeing ceo is forecasting a year's long recovery for airlines. they're holding out hope new measures will mean a new normel of flying again. from what i saw, passengers do seem keen on social distancing, not only on planes but here in the terminal. delta and united have both done

away with boarding by zone, instead boarding by row, starting with the back of the plane first. at reagan national airport, pete muntean. joining me is bryan summers. the airline industry has quite literally ground to a halt. how does it plan to get back to business? >> it's going to take a long time before it gets back to business. a lot of airlines are in great trouble right now. they have aircraft in the desert all over. and basically take their airplanes from the desert a little at a time. this is not that e-shaped curve people were hoping for, for a long time. it's just going to take a while. >> it is grim. the international air transport association insists carriers

will see revenue drop by more than half. it really is quite extraordinary. >> it's the worst disaster in the history of aviation. where i am in the united states, people used to talk about 9/11 as the worst it could get. one 9/11 was a north american phenomenon and air travel gaurt back to norm in months or years maybe. but this is going to take a very long time. really until people feel it's safe to travel again. maybe folks will want to drive somewhere or take a train or go close to home, but if you're talking flying long hall, it's going to bea long time before most of the public is willing to do that. >> i want to talk about some of the job losses in the airlines industry. british airways have cut 12,000 jobs. easy jet laid off some 4,000 cabin crew. quants 20,000 staff are on leave. the list continues.

do you think it's fair to say the consequences for the airline industry has not been fully realized? >> no, the consequences have not been fully realized. and that is especially true in the united states where i sit. the only reason there haven't been mass layoffs is because the u.s. government is paying the salary through september 30th. as soon as october 1st comes around, tens of thousands of americans are going to lose their jobs. and that's on top of job losses you spoke about in other countries. i think we all wish this wouldn't be the case. but look, 2019 was one of the high points in history of aviation. more people were flying than ever before. airlines needed to staff up to meet that demand. and that demand is gone. and it's not just gone now, it's gone for at least two or three years. i do think everything is going

to bounce back, maybe in five or seven years, we'll be talking about this was a long time ago. but in the short term, bad for job losses. >> experts predict it will be years before air travel returns to 2019 levels. and people are going to travel differently. as you say, they will travel locally. they will be reluctant to get on an airplane. >> and you talk about experts. but it's not just experts. airline executives are coming out and at their shareholder meetings and saying 2022, 2023 at the earliest. these are airlines like united airlines. so, gin, it's going to be a while before things get to normal. >> and even before the coronavirus, airlines played a direct role in the way the disease spread around the world. and then you have this pandemic. and obviously, it went global

because of the way people travelled. what measures do you think the airlines industry will put in place moving forward? >> well, airlines are going to try their absolute best to make people comfortable while flying. so, you've already seen them roll out these new initiatives. a lot of airlines are cleaning airplanes more thoroughly and often. believe it or not, a lot of airplanes were never cleaned very well so, they're doing that. a lot are putting flight attendants in masks. some basically have hazmat suits, gloves, things like that. u.s. airlines have come out in the past week and they're going to require customers to wear masks. look, i am not a public health expert. it does seem to me that even this may not fix the problems. i've asked basically to stay two meters away from anyone i. >> in contact with. you talk about an airplane, a confined space. it is literally impossible to do

that. they're saying we won't sell the middle seat for a while. and that might make people feel good but that's not two meters. it's interesting to see what will happen until the virus is behind us globally. >> thank as lot for joining us. >> thank you. well, the beaches have reopened in florida and many questioned if the move was too much too soon. one of those skeptics is parntd apparently the grim reaper, who walked along the beach with other beach goers. not to be too alarmed though, he's actually a lawyer and activist who says he's trying to highlight the dangers of reopening the economy too soon. it's noteworthy that the grim reaper was wearing a face mask. it's tough to quit smoking cold turkey. so chantix can help you quit slow turkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit.

the pandemic postponed the nba season, but it's not stopping fans from enjoying basketball history. "the last dance" documentary is giving rare, never before seen

footage of michael jordan and his teammates. well, don riddell spoke to the film maker. >> reporter: michael jordan became a pop culture icon. the '80s and '90s were a never-ending highlight reel for jordan and the bulls, but since 1998, he's largely been off our screen until now.
