♪ president trump declares all houses of worship essential and claims he'll override governors to allow churches and places of

worship to reopen, this as millions of americans prepare to head outdoors for the memorial day holiday. many states say they're open, but there are restrictions. and brazil reaches a grim point in the pandemic. cnn goes inside one of the forced areas where conditions make it almost impossible to contain the disease. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and, indeed, all around the world. i'm michael holmes, "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >> thanks for your company, everyone. this weekend marks a major task in how committed americans are to containing the coronavirus. all 50 states have begun

relaxing restrictions and opening businesses in the u.s. for memorial day holiday to honor its war dead. with strong recommendations about social distancing, hygiene and face masks. health experts fear new cases will spike if those guidelines are not followed. and there is plenty of reason to worry. the first covid-19 fatality in the u.s. was just 12 weeks ago. the companies's death toll, now topping 96,000, far more than anywhere else in the world. and it is expected to hit 100,000 by the 1st of june. president trump claims he's been take an anti-malaria drug to avoid catching the virus. now there are is evidence that the drug is ineffective and worse, deadly.

>> reporter: a new drug shows an anti-malaria drug championed by president trump may harm patients. >> hydroxychloroquine. >> reporter: the study is the largest analysis done to date. and it reveals coronavirus patients seriously ill gircven chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine have become ill or even died. >> i think the fda has been clear on their website about their concerns about hydroxychloroquine. >> reporter: trump has been taking the drug, despite a warning from the fda that it hasn't been proven to be safe or effective at treeating the viru or preventing it. >> hydroxychloroquine, try it. if things don't go as planned, it's not going to kill anybody. >> reporter: trump didn't address the study today, but he did announce that the cdc will issue new guidance issuing place

of worship essential. >> we need more prayer not less. >> reporter: claiming he'll overrule governors who push back. >> some governors have deemed that liquor stores are especial and left out churches as essential. it's not right. if they don't do it, i will override the governors. >> reporter: it promotes good handwashing, wearing face covering and intensify social distancing. he left questions about his statement to dr. deborah birx and his press secretary kayleigh mcenany. >> boy, it's nice to be in a room that desperately want to see the churches open. >> i object to that. i go to church. i'm dieing to go back to church.

>> reporter: lately, she and other officials like dr. fauci have largely disappeared from the airwaves something she told dr. fauci will change soon. >> we've been talking to some of the information people and realize we need to get this information out. >> reporter: as most memorial day activities have been protest pointed or altered, dr. birx encouraged americans to maintain distance. >> you can play golf, you can play tennis with marked balls. you can go to the beaches. >> reporter: the president ordered flags to be flying at half-staff to mark those who have died in the virus. the president has said he can overrule the governors when it comes to opening up the houses of worship. we should the note that the president was asked about the governors' comments. he said, no, the governors will make those decisions about when those places can reopen.

kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. >> the long memorial day holiday weekend is traditionally when americans mark the unofficial start of summer. but with the threat of coronavirus just a cough or sneeze away, people who venture out are advised to use extra care. cnn's kyung lah reports on that. >> well, we're about to start a very important weekend. >> reporter: the first summer holiday weekend, a major test of america versus the virus as many head outside. >> it's fun to come to the beach and have fun with friends. >> i think there's confidence, we want to come out in a safe manner, we may go back to a lockdown situation and i don't think anyone wants that. >> reporter: beaches up and down will be enforced with social distancing. >> then they'll ask for law enforcement to come and actually force the governor's executive

orders for the distancing. >> reporter: but different rules depending where you are. >> obviously, it's advisable at all times. i don't think it's realistic to ask people to go to the beach and wear a mask. >> reporter: as states limit the number of people on beaches, they're now deciding whether to open churches this weekend, after this. >> i call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. >> reporter: rhode island's governor said that's not going to happen. >> honestly, that would be reckless, they have a lot of work to do. >> reporter: data shows more states are heading in the wrong direction. in the weekly average of new cases, nine states in the green are down. 24 state, steady. and 17 states in red and orange are up. 25,000 new cases in the u.s. added just yesterday. >> among the steepest climbs,

arkansas, the state saw a 55% increase in cases compared to a week ago. the state still opening water parks and pools today with restrictions. in nearby alabama crowds packed beaches today, despite warnings that more cases would stretch an already stretched montgomery hospital system where icu beds run short. >> i'm quite worried with the memorial day weekend coming and the restrictions loosening that this is going to go like a prairie fire. again, it's been smoldering. we've had a lid on it. but it is now really having the potential to get out of control. >> reporter: dr. deborah birx said the white house coronavirus task force cities still continue to see spikes, despite social distancing orders. >> even though washington has remained closed, l.a. has remained closed, we still see ongoing cases.

>> reporter: this is something you keep in mind as you figure out and plan where to put your beach towel. to figure out where you're going to sit at the bar. this warning from epidemiologists if the trends keep going in the country as they are right now, the estimate is united states will exceed 100,000 deaths at some point this memorial day weekend. kyung lah, cnn, los angeles. president trump's push to reopen places of worship could back fire if it leads to new classes of infections in the weeks ahead. earlier i can ned virologist muhammad rannier for his opinion. >> it's important that people are still unimpacted. and is it would mean the virus would have an ability to spread.

this is important where segregation is high and visits are frequent, and in the environment, to have chances to sustain and infect the people. >> sorry, carry on. >> i think it's also important to mention that the lack of clarity has been one of the major issues in many nations for the virus. for example, there would be confusion in the country that would lead to a lot more opening up and that would be top conditions as well. >> do you fear, when you hear the president say open the churches. then you see there are hot spots in churches. there's a lot of concern about asymptomatic spread, do you feel that politics is overriding science in some ways? >> well, certainly. we have seen very controversial statements from politicians. and that is not really backed up by the sizes and the evidence.

and these are really a lot more damaging than the virus itself. because what we have seen that the data shows, we've been prote protected by the politicians. for example, if you're not safe, don't go to the worship operations you're not allowed. basically, it's very different because 50% infected don't even notice that. so it's very difficult to really assess who is infected, who is not infected, until the structure is such that everyone is tested and they know who has the infection and who doesn't have the infection. >> you have dr. anthony fauci on friday saying that is conceivable that the u.s. will have a coronavirus vaccine by december. positive developments we've seen in oxford and china as well.

given the widespread testing, do you fear they're going to rush to find a vaccine too soon? >> well, that's really for vaccine research. i think we have to appreciate in the last five months in the pandemic there's been a power push by medical research to find a solution for this pandemic. by that i mean, within five months we have over 100 vaccine candidates being tested at different scales, including one of the vaccines that was tested. this shows we have power and we have sources to do that. but one thing that is important, to consider vaccine is not something you need to compress against the time. we should have vaccine because that is on top and coming into the normal, but if you compress against the time, it will be compromised. and that's the worse thing i want to see that a vaccine used

to prevent the infection would have more side effects. it should be taken very can cautiously, according to the time line to years of research, those should not be sacrificed. >> right. and finally, if i could ask you. i mean, it was interesting today that the w.h.o. felt the need that fighting against misinformation about covid-19 is just as important as fighting the virus itself. i mean, you have seen a lot of disinformation that concerns you that people might not perhaps taking this seriously enough because of information that maybe plays down the risks? >> well, certainly, that's from the beginning, probably because of lack of certainties, like the disease, we didn't know a lot about that in the early days. and as because of the pseudo science, a lot of misinformation has spread faster than the virus itself. i think there's no better time

to emphasize that there is resource for information. and it should be the only resource for information when it comes to acquiring the information. i want to emphasize something here, many countries, especially in asia, they've been very bold on misinformation. i think the media itself should take steps to criticize that it's not really backed up by the scientific evidence. because this would be a lot more damaging than the virus itself. >> muhammad munir there speaking with me earlier. we'll take a quick break. when we come back, the coronavirus is highlighting the disparity between rich and poor. just ahead, as the number of cases skyrocket in brazil, we'll take a look at how it is hitting the country's most vulnerable. also, still to come, mexico reports its highest single day death count since the pandemic began. we'll get the latest update from mexico city. and because it's a ninja foodi, it can do even more,

like transform into an air fryer. the ninja foodi grill, the grill that sears, sizzles, and air fry crisps. to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain,

and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c. if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.

are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove eosinophils, a key cause of asthma. it helps to prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can reduce the need for oral steroids like prednisone. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection,

or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. could you be living a bigger life? ask an asthma specialist about fasenra. a grave new milestone for brazil. it now has the second highest number of coronavirus cases in the world, behind only the u.s. on friday, the country's health ministry reported 21,000 new

cases bringing the total number of infections to more than 330,000. more than 21,000 people have died from the virus there so far. and the virus is spreading like wildfire in some of brazil's poorest communities. cramped spaces and minimal access to sanitizer or soap has turned its slums into a virus-breeding ground. cnn's nick paton walsh takes us inside one villa in sao paulo. >> reporter: brazil is a land of haves and have nots but in sao pau paulo, coronavirus has the poor going at it alone. we followed the emergency workers through the dense streets to fuel the fire they're fighting. this is the place people don't want to live in. yet, poverty means it packs all the same. in the densely packed alleyways, you can tell the real risk of high infection. in these tiny rooms, the

sickness means kids but look on to those who won't care for them. renata says she tests only when her patients have three symptoms, only those tests are paid for by private donations. mostly the test is done when the person is in the already advanced stages of the disease. cases can be tough. one of these women needed eight people to carry her to an ambulance and a man waits outside as well. we have to ask the family if we can physically remove him from his home. it's hard. up above is maria, 53, who caught the virus despite being masked up in the market, she says, so she's distancing. even yesterday, the other than of the pharmacy died, she tells me, many are losing their lives due to someone's carelessness. renata is part of a wide operation, medicines and masks here, too, teaching people how to make them and giving them machines to do it.

also food, 10,000 meals a day sent out in small numbers in the community because lockdown means they can't put food on their own tables. this is a community in some ways already isolated economically. saving itself. they have a place where the sick are sent to isolate in, a former school. we can't film patients inside. everything here is done at a distance. and says that the worst is yet to come. these beld beds will sadly be . a school given over its purpose by the government. the bigger test here how it's amazing spirited community holds up when the peak makes these streets seem even deadlier. nick paton walsh, cnn, sao paulo. turning our attention to mexico, the country setting a new record on friday.

too, for the single most deaths in a day. reporting 479 patients succumbed to the virus. the total number of cases in mexico has now spiked 62,000, almost 7,000 deaths. cnn's matt rivers is in mexico city. >> reporter: yet, another new daily record recorded here in mexico. after friday evening, mexican health officials reported an additional 479 deaths as a result of this outbreak. that is the largest single day increase in the death toll since this outbreak began. and, remember, it was just two days ago that the previously daily death toll increase record had been set. that number was 424, clearly eclipsed just 48 hours later, by today's figure of 479. as for the confirmed numbers of cases, mexican health officials reporting nearly 3,000 additional confirmed cases of the virus. that bringing the overall case number to more than 62,500. but that is just a lot of

numbers. and i want to put into context just how bad the last week has been here in mexico. consider the overall death toll right now, 6,989. of all of those deaths, nearly one-third of those deaths have been reported in just the last seven days. when it comes to the case total. the case total has increased by nearly 40% in just the last week. it is without question that we are seeing the worst days of this outbreak in mexico so far. and no one really knows exactly where it goes from here. what we do know for sure, at least at this moment, the government says it is continuing with its plan to begin to slowly reopen certain sectors of its economy by june 1st. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. spain is further loosening coronavirus restrictions as the number of new cases there continues to fall. madrid and barcelona will move from phase zero which is the

strictest limitation to phase one on monday. other areas that have already had their confinement rules ease, will relax further. journalist al goodman is in madrid first. these protests, tell us what they're about and what we can expect. >> reporter: hi, michael, i'm at the starting point of what is supposed to be a protest starting in about 30 minutes organized by the far right party vox, you might hear horns and cars driving around with flags on them. the police are moving them out of this area right here, because they were standing here, the cars, right next to city hall. and these are secured zones. so, they're against the government, against the ten-week state of emergency, they're saying it restricts their freedom of movement -- that was one just driving by, we expect

to see quite a lot of those, also against this social government's handling of the virus. this is in madrid and barcelona and other cities this day. there are also evening protests on the streets with people together. they are now in the few hundreds and people are watching to see whether those might get bigger. clearly an anchor level is building with conservatives against the government, against the confinement order. michael. >> and in madrid and barcelona, as we said, they were kept back from the relaxation of restrictions, but that's about to change? >> reporter: that is. on monday, they're going to move to phase one which makes it for the first time in weeks that the ten people you that don't live with you can get together. and you can do it at outdoor cafes which have been closed. half of the country is on phase one. the other half is further on because their health indicators are better. the ability to taken eon the vis

if there's a second wave. they will be able to meet 15 people, more stores open with some restrictions and even go to the beach with limitations. you can hear the horns. protesters are getting ready to makes their voices heard. michael. >> indeed. good to hear you there, al. thank you for covering it. we will take a quick break. new travel rules when we come back on what you need to know if you're heading to great britain. i just had a few moments beforehand of thinking, whole -- but, you know, we're all making decisions about risk. >> and participant in coronavirus vaccine trials talk to our clarissa ward about why they're willing to face the risks. we'll be right back. ♪

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. you're watching "cnn newsroom." u.s. president donald trump has declared places of worship essential during the pandemic and is demanding governors open them back up in their states. this coming as government health officials issued new guidance to help religious institutions keep their congregations safe. cnn's nick valencia with more details. >> reporter: after weeks of anticipate, the cdc finally released what it calls interim guidelines for faith-based institutions and the guidance goes into great detail as to what churches can do to safely reopen. things like modified methods

used to receive monetary contributions such as a stationary box. and physical contact, for example, shaking hands and kissing can be limited among members of the community. one of the other things we recognized reviews recommendations how they began, the cdc saying this is information considering nonpublic health guidance. we haven't seen in the draft or really any of those final documents that the cdc had published language that is in any way similar to that. it's part of the holdup with releases the 68-page published report had to do with language specifically that the hhs office of civil rights talked to restriction of religion. reference to hymnal books and communal cups, sharing those. those exist in these interim

guidelines. this after a day after president trump saying he is putting pressure on cdc to release the recommendations and they're finally out for the public to know. nick valencia, inquicnn, atlant. the rush for the global coronavirus vaccine w.h.o. says there's 124 potential vaccines around the world. and ten of those vaccines have already reached the clinical trial stage. u.s. coronavirus task force member dr. anthony fauci says there could be a vaccine by the end of this is year, or the beginning of next. >> i think it is conceivable, if we don't run into things that are, as i say, unanticipated setbacks that we can have a vaccine that we could be beginning to deploy at the end of this calendar year, december 2020, or into january 2021. >> well, a potential vaccine being developed as the

university of oxford is one of those possibilities that has reached the clinical trial or phase. after a successful initial trial, officials are recruiting thousands of adults and children to participate in the next phase. cnn's clarissa ward spoke with two volunteers in the early trials to find out why they think it is a risk worth taking. >> reporter: it is the oldest university in the english speaking world, but oxford university may soon be better known for taking a big step forward in the global race to develop a vaccine against covid-19. graduate student dan mcatier is one of 1,000 volunteers who signed up to be subjects in human trials. all participants had to be between 18 and 55 and in excellent health. half were given the environmental covid-19 vaccine.

and half were given a control vaccine. >> i, like all of us, felt very much impotent and powerfless, i the pandemic. i felt i could contribute in some way. >> reporter: mother of two lydia had her inoculation a few weeks ago. >> i did have a moment where i was thinking, whoa, i might be injected into this environmental vaccine that sounds like something out of a science fiction film. but we're all having risks. >> reporter: she said she suffered side everybodies, similar to a mild flu. next week she will go back for a blood test. >> we have an e-diary system, every day we login and complete a questionnaire about our health and also a questionnaire about

daily activities. >> reporter: the vaccine has made bold predictions it may be as early as september. but some have cast doubts on that, pointing to monkeys where the animals suffered from pneumonia after being injected with covid-19, they did contract the virus. the director adrian hill said the data has been misconstrued. >> we're very hopeful that it's as good as we could hope for. >> reporter: is the goal of this vaccine to create immunity? or is it simply to prevent the worst symptoms? >> i think it would be one or the other. it doesn't work at all, or it works against infection and disease. that's the way how vaccines work. >> reporter: mcatier conceives he will be disappointed if the vaccine doesn't work.

>> if you're part of something and you've given it your time and it's been a subject of a bit of anxiety because there are risks attached, of course, you want your vaccine to succeed. but fundamentally, we want the vaccine to succeed. >> reporter: in the end, the real race is against the virus and time. clarissa ward, cnn, oxford. well, the uk is planning to enforce new quarantine rules starting on june 8th and they've already come under fire. the rules are going to require most travelers, and that includes british citizens, to self-isolate for two weeks upon arrival. the british prime minister, meanwhile, might have to travel soon. a spokesperson says boris johnson could head to the u.s. next month for a potential g7 meeting if it is indeed health in person. nic robertson joining me from london to chat about this stuff.

tell us about this quarantine stuff. how is it going to work and is it a feeling that sort of the horse has bolted a bit? >> reporter: you'll get a $1200 fine if you break the quarantine, which you have to sign up to before you get to the airport, take the plane or whatever form of transport you're going to use to get into the uk. where you're going to be, one prelocation for two weeks, a space for two weeks. there's contention that this is going to be damaging for business in britain. there's concern it could also damage tourism, incoming, as some people, frankly, have had so much of lockdown, they really want to get a vacation away from their homes. but some have been focused over who will enforce it, will it be police or border authorities. and also, the government when it

announced it yesterday said that it was very important to put in place, but they're not putting it in place until the 8th of june. now, the government's rationale is quite simple, we didn't need it sooner because the rates in the country were so high -- because we want to hold back the possibility of a second wave. and in the coming weeks, that's when we're likely to see more people coming back into the united kingdom. so this is like so many issues for the government right now it is getting criticized all ways around on it, michael. >> yeah, indeed with the shot there. but we got the gist of that, nic robertson, appreciate it in london. we will take a quick break. when we come back, we'll introduce to you one refugee who is using the pandemic to thank the people who helped him when he needed it. try zyrtec... ...it starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day.

yeah, this pandemic changed our rituals. we no longer -- sorry -- >> reporter: after this is all over, akkad wants to make films again, but says he's ready for the next time he might be called on to pay it forward. hala gorani, cnn, london. >> good for him. china's announcement that it would implement new security laws in hong kong rattled markets and inflamed tensions between beijing and western countries. as hong kong leaders reacted, the hang seng index had its biggest daily drop in five years. the current would ban subversion of the central government in beijing. expressions of concern rolling in from governments around the world, including the u.s. >> we're absolutely not going to give china a pass. you know, all of the options are on the table. i can say as an economist, that,

you know, if hong kong stops being hong kong, the open place that it is, that it's no longer going to be the financial center that it is, that's going to be very costly to the people of china and hong kong. so, yeah, it's a very difficult scary move. it's something that people need to pay close attention to. well the coronavirus pandemic has brought many professional sports to a standstill, now four of the biggest names in sports in golf and nfl are teaming up. we'll have a preview just after the break. they are the heroes, the helpers - working on the front lines, and here's one small way that you can help them in return. complete your 2020 census today. 2020 census data helps communities plan funding for hospitals, clinics, and emergency services

as we've been telling, it's memorial day weekend in the u.s. the unofficial start of summer in the u.s. americans usually hit the road. they go to parks and beaches. and have outdoor cookouts with family and friends. but even with everyone taking precautions, this year's memorial day weekend comes with risks, of course. as cnn's peter montine explains. >> reporter: i set out on i-95 toward virginia beach, it along with some beaches in new jersey and delaware and maryland are open for the holiday weekend.

this is like always the big linchpin in 95. we're breezing through right now. this is is easy. but university of maryland researchers say road trips are nearing prepandemic levels. last weekend, climbing 18% in maryland and virginia alone. the travel firm thinks typical traveling will return this weekend. a driving holiday that's difficult to forecast. >> for the first time in two decades, aaa is not releasing a forecast because travel is unable to do so. >> reporter: researchers say that travel is the safest way to get around but when you stop it's more difficult. >> i want to see what this looks like. the cdc underscores wearing a mask and washing your hands when traveling. here, crews are cleaning bathrooms every hour. >> we want people to be assured that they can come in here and

they can have a place that's going to be clean for them. >> reporter: of course, the essential part of a road trip is a snack. aaa says to be mindful of the buttons you push. after you use something like that, make sure you hand sanitize afterwards. weekend gas prices are the lowest in more than 15 years according to aaa. one thing to think about on the road trip, the nozzle, the key pad, one researcher says to maybe use a knuckle on these key pads. make sure you wash up afterwards, or touch all of this with a paper powetowel or glove. >> well, i don't think people understand the risk very well. >> reporter: the big worry warn that quarantine fatigue could spread the coronavirus even further. >> i think people are getting fed up. >> reporter: doing any travel

for memorial day? >> no. >> reporter: staying home? >> staying home. all right. as sports slowly return, four legends of the game are going to be teague off in florida on sunday, we're talking tiger woods, phil mickelson and they're teaming one with peyton manning and tom brady. the match it's called to raise $10 million for clarity to fight coronavirus. patrick snell looks ahead, you can see it here on cnn international and on tnt. >> so, you know how far that is? >> yeah. >> this is the trophy. i don't know if you know what this looks like, you might have caught a glimpse of it. >> i'm a little bit chilly so -- i'll put the green jacket on. >> yes, the banter is most definitely already in full

swing. the original match in late 2018 saw longtime rivals, phil mickelson and tiger woods goes head to head. it was lefty who trumped on that occasion. and it's tiger's home court for the record. nfl superstars tom brady will team up with mickelson and peyton manning, one of the sport's legendary quarterbacks helping for the charity of the worldwide pandemic. >> a lot of people being hit hard by this virus, as are many communities around the country, so, you know, i don't think this event would have happened if it wasn't going to benefit those people who are hurting. and so, i think that's why it's a double win. >> just an unique moment in time. and i think the ability to do

good and help others is at the core of what this is all about. >> manning was an intense rival of brady's during a historic career between the colts and broncos before his retirement. brady himself leaving the new england patriots after 20 seasons to join the buccaneers. >> i'll be honest, i've never played tom very well on his home turf. so maybe this is considered a neutral site. i would have loved to have had this tournament in a place where they don't like tom very much, indianapolis, denver, boston, after he betrayed them. >> i think we're going to have a lot of fun. there's been a little trash talk. as you've seen a little behind the scenes, i'm sure you'll see more of that. >> we might actually let them win a hole early and kind of lull them to sleep. >> for our parent company, warner media, as well as cnn broadcasting a live sports event

for the first time ever. this illustrious quartet may have 20 golf majors and eight super bowl championships between them, but they're sole focus down there in florida is helping to play their part in raising a minimum of $28 million, back to you. >> patrick snell, our thanks. don't miss the match as i said it's airing here on sunday for the viewers around the world on cnn international, and tnt, 3:00 p.m. in new york, 8:00 p.m. if you're in london. and that's a wrap for this hour of "cnn newsroom." thanks for spending part of your day with me. i'm michael holmes. "new day" is just ahead. i'll see you tomorrow. it's totally normal to have constipation with belly pain,

straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c. if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.
