because i am killing these frozen pizzas. they are delicious. >> dana: i can't wait to see that. all right, thank you, michael. thanks for joining us, everybo everybody. i'm dana perino. i will see you on "the five," as well. in the meantime, here's bill hemmer. >> bill: dana, thank you. i'm bill hemmer. president trump is about to give his first briefing at about two weeks. it starts an hour from now. we are expecting an update. this is a big deal. the white house worked to contain the virus that the white house. three members of the task force now self isolating after they have a possible exposure. every angle on this. a with the latest getting up and running again. we have analysis on all of this. good afternoon to you. >> we haven't had an official elevated breathing in the past couple of weeks, though

president trump has frequently taken questions. this afternoon, we are expecting a briefing, and the subject of everything is going to be testing in the united states. the president will talk about how the federal government has worked with the states to ramp up testing. now the states, each and every one of the states will have the ability to test as many people per capita as was done in south korea. testing will be extremely important as states reopen in order to identify and snuff out hot spots. the white house itself is healing with its own hot spot after katie miller fell ill on friday had tested positive. three of the u.s. officials most involved in dealing with the coronavirus crisis are now self isolating and what is described as low risk contact. dr. anthony fauci, robert redfield, data center for disease control, and stephen hahn. they are quarantined for 14 days, and then down there, you

see stephen miller. the chief domestic policy advisor, married to katie miller, so he is isolating as well. other white house staff that were in proximity to her mother also either working from home, where they are being monitored, being tested daily to see if something pops up because what's really interesting about the miller case is on thursday, she was not showing any symptoms and tested negative, but that on friday morning, began showing symptoms and tested positive. we heard all this talk about asymptomatic infections, but if one were to be infected and not be symptomatic, you would think that the test would show a positive, but hers should have negative peer dr. fauci was supposed to be on capitol hill to testify before the health committee, but it has been decided that dr. fauci along with a red dr. stephen hahn will give testimony to the committee via teleconference tomorrow.

this really, bill, what we see here at the white house, a microcosm of what companies across the united states will deal with as they begin to open, and there is social distancing guidelines that are in play here at the white house. people being tested on a regular basis, but then one person test positive, and as you saw in that graphic, it has affected at least four other people, so that is something that these companies are going to have to take into consideration as they start to get back to business. >> bill: thinks. nice to see you. more states now partially reopening, and now hard at you new york is going to join them. the mayor of new york city, the epicenter of the pandemic, says they could potentially start lifting restrictions in june. meanwhile, more than a dozen states he is lockdown, sump allowing restaurants to open. mike tobin has run down on that. he's in chicago. >> 13 states, to be specific,

taking a step back to what we once knew was normal. in michigan, that means manufacturing resumes today. they want workers showing up to go through protocol to make sure that they are extra safe. they want them to get temperature screenings, fill out questionnaires about symptoms. where protective equipment and work with some space in between each other. the big three automakers are waiting another week to resume, being extra cautious, putting in some of their own security protocols like partitions and doors in place, allowing.part suppliers to get caught appeared in alabama, arizona, arkansas, indiana, south carolina, restaurants are open again, but with restrictions. indiana for example, limited to half capacity. get there early, wait until your table is ready. construction, manufacturing, and horse racing are back in business. not bad news with the racing is now fans. you need to watch it on tv. in illinois, one state where

retailers open again but for curbside service, and they continue to fuse with president trump. >> we are going it alone, as the white house has left us to do, and we are doing well with testing. we will continue to grow our test, and we have the ability to do that on our own. >> joining the ranks of those working from home. a staffer who had contact tested positive for the virus, so the governor is required now to self-quarantine for what is determined to be an appropriate period of time. he will conduct his daily briefings and other things via videoconference. still working out the details. the one we want to bring in the director of the harvard global health institute. it is nice to have you back on the program here. just broad strokes for a moment. why do you want to hear from the president this hour? speak up bill, thanks for having me back on.

the last few days, the white house of course has been at the center of the outbreak. with two people, including a really key staffer testing positive, and a strategy for protecting the president has been testing, testing, testing. so as we open of the country, i would love to hear from the president that we are going to ramp up testing across the whole country. everybody doesn't need to be tested every day, but we do need a lot more testing than we have, and i think it would be really helpful for the president to outline what the white house is going to do to help states ramp up testing. >> bill: i am going to read this to you for the first time, the audience as well. the white house is directing all wes wenning staff to wear masks at all times while they are in the building, except when they are at their own desk. that is according to a senior administration official. i am seeing this as your reaction on that? >> yeah, so it's very consistent with the cdc guidelines.

and you know i have criticized the cdc when they have gone things wrong. we should applaud them when they get it right. the evidence is very clear. and look, bill, the number one priority of the white house has got to be protect the president and the vice president. that has got to be priority one, two, and three, and testing is very important. everybody should be wearing masks. people should be giving them 6 feet of distance, and the two of them should not be together. that's how we make sure that they stay safe. that has got to be priority number one. >> bill: one thing here on the testing, i know you have been harping on this. you were looking for 500,000 tons per day. i don't know how you quantify that, but let me come back to it. the u.s. continues to perform above average for testing per capita among the top 50 reporting hot spot countries. it is not good enough for you? or do you want to be number one, i guess? >> i want to be enough. enough for the size of the outbreak we have.

we have a pretty big outbreak in the u.s. we have a lot of cases. we are number one, but per capita we are not. what we need is enough task so that everyone who needs that test, anyone with symptoms, anyone who has been in contact with someone with symptoms need to be able to get tested, and we need to be doing a lot more testing than we are doing right now, so i don't want to compete with another country. i want to have enough so that if you need a test today, you can get a test. >> bill: make sense. antibodies. here in new york city, we think we've all been exposed to this, right? that's what we are thinking pure just anecdotally, i think a spoken to 12 people who went for the antibody test. you know how many came back positive? none. now, why is that? we are living in a city of 8 million, and we think it has been around. why did they come back negative? >> i don't mean to laugh at this. here is the issue.

we know about 25% of new yorkers has been exposed. the reason i left a little bit is that almost everyone i know is saying no, i'm sure i had it. a lot of us have had influence, got sick from other things. i had about where i was like oh, i wonder if that was covid. it looks just like influenza. it is a more severe form. for them, it doesn't look like it, but i think a lot of us think we had it. we have to wait for the antibody test. >> bill: but as we try to understand covid-19, what is all about, i think all of us would have said that number has got to be higher than that, and we probably all thought that we have been exposed to it. >> yeah. right. so right now, if you look at the numbers, the number of people who have tested positive is about 0.4%. about four out of every 1,000 americans. i think the number is actually ten to 20 times not.

that puts you to four to 8%. it is still a small minority, and that is what the data from new york shows. all the antibody tests are showing five to 8% of the population has been affected. that means most of us have not yet been exposed to this virus. >> bill: don't go far. we will call on you again very soon. thank you, nice to see you tod today. political battle lines being drawn over the justice department's decision to change course in the case against mike o'laughlin. andy mccarthy weighs in that today. and what we are now learning about joe biden's campaign strategy moving forward this week. ♪ what'd we decide on the flyers again?

uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service."

what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over? that's right. instead of all this that i've already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. >> really a risk, no matter what we do. it's a risk if we don't do anything. it's a risk if we do this. what we have done is come up with the best practice sales for to reopen. >> bill: that is ohio governor mike dewine there making up statement. he says testing will increase dramatically, and is pushing to get 1 million swaps to get it done. tim ryan is back with me today, representing parts of northeastern ohio. good afternoon to you. i thought that sound bite nailed it. when these governors are trying to figure out how you can keep

your people safe and also how you can make sure that livelihoods are not destroyed through these shutdowns. what did you think of that? >> yeah, i have appreciated how governor dewine has handled this from the very beginning. ohio got out very early. public health here in ohio. he has done a great job, and i say that as a democratic congressman to a republican governor. we've got to be thoughtful, we've got to be mature. we can't have these fault lines of left and right. this is about protecting people, but these small businesses are getting crash, so we have to help them, move this data back to where they are not forced to spend money. we have to continue to put money into that ppe program, and we have to be really thoughtful with how we do it. >> bill: so all iowa's moving forward. we will see them follow suit here. in washington, they are talking about this again. i have seen your comments

towards what you favor at the moment, but would you favor a bailout for states? when you take taxpayer dollars that go toward something that is not related to covid-19? >> well, i would say it is very much related to covid-19, and those who have been in politics or a little while, we remember what happened in 2009, '10, '11. there is no money coming in. there is no sales tax being generated at the levels to be able to fund the prisons and the state highway patrol and public health. our schools are already taking a hit. it's not a bailout. it's really a stabilization fund, and we have to ask ourselves -- >> bill: let me be a bit more specific. >> state and local government filing bankruptcy like mitch mcconnell suggested, cutting pension funds, all that is going to do is pull more money out -- >> bill: if it goes towards deficits --

>> they will take a haircut. it is a downward spiral that will just lock and very deep recession, if not a depression. though i'm for it. i think we need to do it immediately and help some of the states out. >> bill: just trying to make sure you can still hear me here, based on the connection. if the money goes towards thing deficits that were created long before covid-19, would you support that? how great you saw that you the people of northeastern ohio? >> in ohio and i think most states, they have a balanced budget amendment. so they have to balance the budget every budget cycle, whether it is a year or two years, so it wouldn't be going for past mistakes. it would be going to plug the holes that communities are facing right now, and there's a real risk of getting police, first responder services caught.

slashes to education spending. the governor in ohio here already made cuts, and it was to medicated. nursing homes. and people staying in nursing homes. my wife is a teacher. they are cutting schools. this is real. this is not about past mistakes. most of them have balanced-budget amendments. >> bill: but most of that is not directed towards ohio. the other states. here in new york too. here you go. "biden kanban launch is expansion, but no word on plans to leave his house." can you give us an idea, as you work on behalf of him, what his campaign looks like in this environment. >> well, i think we are all trying to figure that out. those of us who have to run in november, and i think he is a really good job. he is doing a lot of local media, which has a lot of credibility for a lot of voters. especially in the swing states.

he is doing a lot of that. he's doing his podcast, which keeps them out there, and they are really building online. >> bill: no press conference -- >> is he perceived other candidate that can heal? i think people trust him. people like him. and in contrast to what the president is doing day in and day out, i think we are going to be very effective. >> bill: no press conference and a month. that has got to change. >> yeah, well, this virus has sucked a lot of the oxygen out. >> bill: you can win the white house on a podcast. >> clearly, the covid-19 and sucking all the oxygen out of the room. and i think he's doing a very good job of hitting these points underneath the radar of your local, podcast, online stuff. it's very, very effective, and you see it.

president trump is dropping dramatically among senior voters. they don't like the way he's handling the crisis here, and they trust joe biden. it seems to me like it's working. >> bill: can win the white house on a podcast. i think you would agree with that. tim ryan. we will fix the connection next time so we get a chance to get in there. thank you. come on back, okay? meanwhile, there is a staggering amount of covid-19 death in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. we will talk with a senior advocate about nursing homes, a disaster waiting to happen. at newday usa. newday's va streamline refi is the quickest and easiest refi they've ever offered. you can lower your payments by this time next month without having to verify your income, without getting your home appraised, and there's no money out of pocket. call newday right now.

>> bill: so the white house recommending covid-19 testing of more than 1 million people who live and work in nursing homes in the next two weeks. the associated press reporting.

joining me now, executive director of community coalition, and richard, thanks for your time. here's your piece in the times. nursing homes were a disaster waiting to happen. well, we know about that here in new york. more than 5,000 deaths attributed to nursing centers. why did it happen that way? >> well, obviously, residents in nursing homes, they are elderly people. they are people who have generally a significant medical need, so they were the most vulnerable to the virus. however, as i said in that piece, a lot of this happened. a lot of it was exacerbated because of low infection control and prevention. i'm sorry. protocols and facilities because of lack of staffing and because the lack of safeguards just to ensure that residents are safe day in and day out, that when

covid-19 hit, it really impacted and became unfortunately disastrous for many. >> bill: the governor announced yesterday that they are reversing course on that. employees will be tested two times a week. i think that's a good idea. should have had that in the beginning. if you could only turn back the hands of time on that. hospitals cannot readmit patience unless the patient test negative. that was not happening for so long, and to have the u.s. and ask comfort here, to have the gi didn't have to be this way. >> i think there were unfortunately shortcomings on the federal and state level, and we have seen that here and in other states. very glad that the governor has decided against enabling facilities to accept people with covid-19. we certainly you should have called for that to happen. much sooner. so we are glad to see that

change. unfortunately, i did exacerbate the extent to which people have suffered. >> bill: richard, florida and maryland had a plan, and it appears to be more effective. how come? >> i think that they were in essence, they were fortunate because they saw what happened in new york and were able to respond. they had a little bit more time then we did, but i think it was generally a more thoughtful approach, and that is what we have been calling for since february, again on both the federal and the state level, that we should really be looking -- this is people we are talking about. obviously a very vulnerable population, and you just kind of treated monolithically, everyone is going to go in, not going to go in. you're not going to allow families and, et cetera, i think hasn't really worked where when you look at maryland, the governor there is calling for

them to go into nursing homes that are in distress. something that we are calling for as well nationally. all the states to adopt -- teams will go in and triaged any residents who are in danger. they will make sure that the facility is being administered appropriately, has enough staffing, et cetera. that is a very thoughtful approach, and that is what we needed from the beginning. >> bill: florida did the same thing. the white house recommending coronavirus testing. more than 1 million nursing home residents, that will certainly help as well. nice to have you wanted. about 30 minutes away now from president trump's big briefing from the rose garden. we are also learning more about what he will say at that briefing. also, could china be trying to steal research from american scientists working on a vaccine? the latest warning from u.s. intel agencies on that, and follow-up continues over the michael flynn matter today.

some accusing the obama administration of working with the fbi. i will talk with andy mccarthy about that next. >> beginning to show a pattern at the highest levels of the obama administration. and we know already from the stuff that we have been doing through the department of justice over there, we are already targeting members of the president's campaign but also the president himself. rtgage ray dropping to near record lows, my team at newday usa is helping more veterans refinance than ever. the newday va streamline refi is the reason why. it lets you shortcut the loan process and refinance with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. one call can save you $2000 every year. call my team at newday usa right now.

department's decision to drop its case against general michael flynn. andy mccarthy, former u.s. assistance attorney. things are being here today. basic staff here. was president obama -- is there evidence to suggest that president obama was in on this investigation during the transition, or is that a theory that has now been played out there, or can you now prove it? >> bill, they should never have been a theory. this should have been an assumption. this was a counterintelligence investigation. unlike criminal investigations, counterintelligence is done for the president to support the president constitutional mission to protect the united states from foreign threats. so, if they actually authentically thought that there was a conspiracy between the kremlin and the trump campaign, it would be profoundly crazy as obama was not an honest, so issue isn't whether he was anionic. the issue is whether under the

guise of authentic counterintelligence, they were doing something they shouldn't have been doing, namely political spying. >> bill: here is from some of the papers that were made public last week. this is an oval office meeting during the transition. january 5th 2017. obama dismissed the group and asked them to stay behind. obama started by saying that he had learned information of the conversation with kis -- it wast clear where the president first receive the information. she was so surprised that she was having a hard time processing it and listening to the conversation at the same time. there is a suggestion that she was cut out of the loop. what do you think of that suggestion? what was happening in the conversation there? >> two different things. i think it's factually wrong to say that yates was kept out of the loop. there is a lot to criticize the

fbi for here, but i don't think that this is part of it. andrew mccabe, who was the deputy fbi director, informing mary mccourt, the justice department's height of national security two days before the oval office meeting, and she was going to bring yates, but she wasn't going to do it until the afternoon, and it turned out yates at this meeting with obama and company in the morning, so i think it was just happenstance that she wasn't informed. it wasn't that jim comey was holding out on her. secondly -- >> bill: continue. go. >> i think the reason that they have this meeting, we can gauge, from susan rice's emails, as she was walking out the doors on inauguration day was to justify or at least make a paper record of keeping information about russia from the incoming trump team. the only way that makes sense is if the plan was to continue the

investigation into the trump administration, and the only way that you could pull that off would be if they didn't know everything that was going on, so i think that's what it was about. >> bill: okay. so why dismiss the flynn case? because the fbi can't prove it. that is thehell.com. what does judge sullivan do now >> i think he dismisses the case. no judge should andrew case to the detriment of the defendant -- but certainly no judge under circumstances where it doesn't look like the government has a case that they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt would want to have the judgment of guilt entered against the defendant under those circumstances, and from the justice department's standpoint, if they believe, and i think they have profound reason to believe this, that they don't have a case that they

could prove in court, it is their ethical obligation to dismiss the case. >> bill: thank you, andy mccarthy. there is a lot in here, and we will get to a lot more next time around. nice to see you today. meanwhile, american scientists are now racing to develop this coronavirus vaccine. there is a new evidence that china might be stealing their work. "the wall street journal" reports today that they are planning to issue a warning about hackers tie to beijing. that should come as no surprise. columnist at "the daily beast." welcome back here. what you make of that charge, that the chinese are stealing the vaccine? >> the chinese have been feeling hundreds of billions of dollars of u.s. intellectual property every year. we also know that medicines and medical devices are part of choosing things 202025 initiative. he identified 20 areas where

they were supposed to dominate by 2025, self i'm sure that they have been trying to steal, and to put all of this in perspective, their race to be first is like the moon competition of the 1960s, so you put all that together, and it makes sense that china is stealing our intellectual property and are vaccine. >> bill: the chinese are already leading -- they have at least one already in the phase three trials. you know about that? >> i wouldn't be surprised, and we have heard those reports for about a week now. first of all, they were the first country to suffer from not coronavirus, so they would have started earlier, and also, china is cutting corners on all sorts of medical research, so they can do things a lot faster than we can. >> bill: chinese foreign ministry. here's the statement. "cyber security, and a victim of cyber attacks. opposed to fighting attacks,

leading the world and vaccine research. it is a moral to target china with rumors and slanders in the absence of any evidence." what you think about that? >> the first half of that statement, that comes out every time there is an allegation of chinese stealing, and the second part, of course, is specific to coronavirus. but you know, clearly, beijing has been doing this, bill, and so they are always going to throw up a lot of smoke. >> bill: there's another story had a brilliant. did you pick up on this? the german intelligence agency suggesting that president xi told the world health organization to keep it quiet. human to human transmission. do you believe it? >> i do believe it. this does not come from the united states. german intelligence would have no reason to undercut diplomacy, which is very pro-china.

and also with the behavior of the world health organization. xi jinping apparently asked the w.h.o. to not declare a global pandemic. and that didn't happen until march 11, which was so much later than everyone thought that it should have been declared. also, there w.h.o. was very late to declare a public health emergency of international concern, so that w.h.o. was acting as if it was looking at xi jinping on that phone call. i believe it. >> bill: last point here. what do you think comes out of this relationship once we move past this? >> i think we are going to be a much realistic about china's intentions, and the secretary of state has been doing a great job and actually being realistic about this, warning the american public of the dangers. this is something that should have occurred in previous administrations budgeted, so the

secretary of state gets very high marks for alerting the american public. >> bill: gordon, thanks for coming back. with us on all topics china. thank you. >> thank you, bill. >> bill: again, as we await the president to talk about testing, we are getting the doctors take on whether or not the u.s. is ready to meet demands. the white house warning of permanent economic damage of the country doesn't get back to work soon. to speak of these are very, very large numbers. these are not large numbers because the economy wasn't doing well. these are large numbers because we are shut the economy.

>> bill: breaking news on this. a plan to begin the season in early july. that is according to the ap.

it will go to the players union for approval. saying that the shortened season could start around the fourth of july and ballparks with no fans. but around the fourth of july, that would be something, right? move that boulder up the hill just a little bit. from chicago, live look at the white house right now. along with his task force, said to have an update on the coronavirus testing. i want to bring back dr. peter from baylor college of medicine. how are you doing? thank you for coming back here. just broadly, what would you like to hear today with regards to testing? >> i think the issue around testing is we keep on talking about numbers of test. he is an old friend from texas. doing a great job scaling that, but the actual numbers of tests don't mean a lot to me. what i want to know is as people start going back to work, can

they get tested in the workplace, and can they have some comfort level, knowing that the person sitting next to them does not have asymptomatic covid? that is really what it comes down to. people need to feel safe going back to work, knowing that there is some kind of testing going on in the workplace on a regular basis. then the contact tracing will come in. back into quarantine or isolate. and working out that system, putting that framework in place. surveillance, communicating all of this. that's what it's really all about. what can we do, not just to open up the economy but to sustain that economic recovery because of people are free to go back to work, then everything could fall apart again. >> bill: you are right on tha that. nursing home residents and staff over the next few weeks, how will that play into making this better fast? >> well, we've all seen that devastation in nursing homes.

especially and then nrc stand other places. it's been really tragic. so the best way to do that is to get all of the staff tested and the people -- the residence there. keep doing that on a regular basis. the hard part is this is all very labor-intensive, and you have to be willing to put people -- designate people to do this. the kinds of places that i'm worried -- i'm not so worried about the big corporations, for instance or even the larger nursing rooms, but the smaller operations. how will they have the bandwidth to do it. how does your dry cleaner, instance, how do they do that testing? i think that's the piece that we need to figure out, and if the white house task force can help with that -- >> bill: interesting. would you as expect them to givs an object? coming up on mid-may, you have big memorial weekend, do you put

a chart up there that can forecast where we will be the 1st of june? >> i think you can, but one of the things that this has taught us is the heterogeneity across the country. what goes on in new york city is so different then down here in texas are on the gulf coast or the western part of the country. so we really, really need to break it down by region, i think, to make it meaningful because you know, the situation that they are facing, obviously, in new york city, is so different from many other places. >> bill: fair point there. i don't know if you're watching as of an hour ago, but probably have a dozen people here in new york who went for the antibody testing thinking that they had been exposed to the virus, and they all came back negative. the thinking here in new york anyway it was that we have all been exposed to it, more or less. why were they all be negative? >> you just hit on it, right?

that's the thing. the numbers that we were actually talking about, the confirmed cases in the u.s., something like 1.2 million cas cases. probably the number -- the real number would be ten to 20 times higher, so between ten to 20 million americans have been affected. the population of the united states is 300 million, so the overwhelming number of americans are still going to be antibody negative. even in new york city, the latest prevalent survey shows that it is only 20% positive, so even new york, which is ground zero in a sense for this epidemic, only 20% of the population is affected. we are hearing a lot about the importance of antibody testing, but them vast majority of americans are going to be antibody negative, so it is not really going to factor into their decision about whether or not to go back to work. so i think there has been so much emphasis on the antibody testing. it is thought going to be helpful for most americans.

>> bill: that is a fair and smart answer. nice to see you again. dr. peter, best of luck. we are pulling for you and everybody else along the way. >> thank you so much. >> bill: happiest place on earth looking a little bit different today. this is shanghai disneyland, opening their gates to visitors for the first time in many months. temperatures are checked out the gate, maintaining social distance. rights are limited to only one group or car. visitors need to use an app that tracks their temperatures and contact with anyone who may have been exposed to the virus. imagine that. in one day. so the characters are out and about, but keeping their distance also, the first disney park to reopen since the pandemic began. about 30% occupancy is there today in shanghai. as we await the present and here in a moment, we are going to take a look at out travel might be changing forever. a new passport.

♪ [applause] [cheers and applause] >> bill: that never gets old. that's a covid-19 patient leaving the hospital in colorado, reunited with his wife and daughters just in time for mother's day. that's an awesome sight. he spent some time in the icu, he hasn't seen them in person and two months. well done colorado. >> if we do this carefully, working with the governors, i don't think there is a considerable risk. i think there's a risk of not reopening. you are talking about what would be permanent, economic damage to the american public. >> bill: steven mnuchin over the weekend with chris wallace. right now we are waiting to hear

from the president. we will take you there when it begins. lauren, how are you doing? good afternoon. >> i am good. how are you? >> bill: doing fine. what are we hearing? they are really starting to shift the focus on the economy and trying to get things going yet again. where are we on that? >> they have to strike a balance between maintaining the health and the country and also ensuring that there is business that workers can return to. the number so far have been dire, i mean 33.5 million people filing for unemployment since the pandemic began. another 2 million expected this week, you're looking at the april unemployment rate, 14.7%. i have heard cases where it can rise to 25%. these numbers are expected to get uglier. >> it might be there now depending on the graph you look at. some tourist destinations are

considering a help passport to prove whether you have the virus were not. what's that about? >> we are talking about what the recovery looks like and we are like it's a nike swoosh. one ways to get people moving and traveling, an idea being floated around is an immunity passport. you take a picture of your face, your government i.d., you put that in an app. with the results for coronavirus test to prove you don't have it, you may have had antibodies, then that app generates a qr code and you would be cleared to enter a country, or even a business. love, we are unsure, even if you have antibodies to coronavirus you can still get reinvested, that's what people are saying. this is just an idea being floated, but the tech companies and other countries, companies are working on ways to stay open. >> bill: they will follow us everywhere eventually.

thank you for that. just watch in the bottom corner of your screen here to the rose garden. we will see what the president and the administration have to say about testing. set your dvr. here is neil byrd >> neil: we are looking alive at the rose garden and testing is going to be the theme. if you talk to any governor of any state, republican or democrat, that is the last piece of the pie they need to get the go-ahead. to go ahead and open their state, 13 states today continuing that process, or just getting started. these governors are saying, i feel better, getting a lot more people tested in my state. the fact of the matter is, this will go a long way. spending millions of dollars to do so. john roberts is there right now. what we might be able to expect
