suspect allegedly killed 23-year-old nicholas, someone he knew before taking off yet again but this time taking someone with him. the police in paterson, new jersey found him uninjured and the suspect's car near new jersey and the pennsylvania border. he is a 6'3" white male, 2015 graduate of the high school and studying mechanical engineering of connecticut and he has not been living on campus and they expressed deepest sympathies not only to the victims but of course the loved one. the place telling anyone if you see this man you are urged to contact them but of course everyone wearing masks, that makes it more difficult. another thing that makes it difficult for technology, face recognition and security cameras, just one more obstacle they will have to hurtle, trace. >> trace: it ups the ante, alex, thank you. social distancing guidelines are not stopping americans from hitting the beach is this holiday weekend. here is a look across the

new yorker as you know, so i was sort of worn blunt, you know. it is just the way of the place. and on the facts, you can reopen. you can increase activity without increasing virus spread. be smart. you know i talked about the masks and i will talk about the masts until i am blue in my face because they work here they wo work. >> andrew cuomo announced over the week and all professional sports leagues will begin training camp as soon as possible saying he believed sports can come back without having people -- and another sign of life getting back to some kind of normal on wall street tomorrow as the new york stock exchange will reopen the trading floor for the first time since march 23rd, according to reports, the floor will look a lot different and only a small number of brokers will be allowed. wearing masks and for social

distancing. we will see how that goes tomorrow, trace. >> trace: laura, the bar on long island might be in hot water after people push their way again? >> yeah, this is a little crazy. this is one of those situations where we see the video and the images that have happened, whether seems to be way too many people in one spot. over the weekend, there were images that leaked to people at this one bar, and the people were calling 911 to report the crowds were double in the tiki bar and grill on long island. the bar owner apologized and said they allowed people to come in when a rainstorm hit and quickly lost control. they will stick to social distancing rules and have taken down their facebook page, have not commented to us. and overzealous patrons for the pickup only counters in some areas. just linger around too long and of course that leads little chance of social distancing even when you want to get stuck in a

crowd to pick up your food or drink. we have a lot of people. >> leland>> trace: laura ingle e alive, the john hopkins university, a public health experts and a fox news medical contributor, always a pleasure to talk to you, sir. quickly the beach is crabbed across the country. does it bother you as a physician? >> will, we do know mass gatherings is a big driver of the spread of this and we see one person it affected and 35 other people in a gathering and arkansas already. so i am concerned. i am concerned in areas hospitalization is increasing. wisconsin, alabama and montgomery, alabama, in particular, there are still increases in hospitalizations but at the same time the country cannot tolerate these harsh conditions any longer. when we told people to stay home, we probably should have told them to stay outside. when we told people at the

beaches and the parks need to be closed, we would probably tell them to wear masks if they can't maintain the 6-foot distance. >> trace: it is a good point doctor, because you look at the studies on the common denominator coming out of lou hand and south korea and italy is the fact that these spreadere super-spreader's in cramped spaces with poor ventilation and you would think it makes sense if you are outside, you know would have a better chance not getting the disease if you had ventilation. you bring up a great point there. my concern is you don't think that we should open anything up all at once, fair? >> well, i do think we should reopen but do it very carefully. i was one of those people, trace, called for the shutdown of nonessential activities going into march. but as we learned more from the data mira strategy needs to evolve. at this point, it doesn't make sense for certain things to be closed.

people need to recognize that the value of masks is increasingly understood to be critical, and that the important thing is distancing, not whether or not something is open or closed. >> trace: it is interesting because people talk about sports coming back. we watched yesterday peyton manning and tiger woods because tom brady and phil mickelson, people are eager for the stuff. but do you see a stadium or an arena in the next several months being filled with people? >> welcome if the country for some semblance of normalcy, and i think we will see activity this summer specifically july and august that will allow us to remember what it was like before this new normal. we will have quite the summer but the concern is in the fall, there is a resurgence and it could be a big research and spirit so let's hope for the best. but remember we had this coronavirus with essentially one-third of our winter with coronavirus. imagine next season it could be

coronavirus and influenza. >> don't ask me when i want to step forward to the vaccines, dr. carey because there is research coming in oxford, doing a study. it went to the next stage so it seemed to be encouraging. now they are sagging well not as encouraging because we are running low and running low on patients to actually build a vaccine. they don't have enough coronavirus patients. explain that. >> we are learning that the virus is seen snow. we don't understand to what extent peer of the predictions in the southern states really did not come true. they had far fewer number of cases, deaths and hospitalizations than projected. part of that may be that he'd associated with increased humidity, increased likelihood of people doing things outdoors. so the concern is that we may have a situation likely with

h1n1 where we invent and manufacture of the, but the virus is essentially at a very low level. you can't really test it in bulk. so, the resurgence for that testing. my. >> trace: and want to play the sound bite from the vaccine group study talking about timing and then get reaction on the flip side. watch this. >> i think one thing is very clear this virus is not going away. and so, expectation is that we will, in time, see a large number of people and the population in all countries who will be infected. so this is much more a question of how long does it take to get the results rather than where do we get the results from? >> trace: pretty much dr. carey the way we started this three or four months ago is that vaccine is possible, but it may take a while. >> sure. and if you look at what is happening in brazil right now,

they are having a big outbreak. and let's say we get this to a quiet sent level in the united states with the travel ban which was announced against brazil on saturday. that could come back when our seasons flip with the northern and southern hemispheres. so it is a concern. and i think we all like to be in the prediction business, but the reality is we need to hope for the best plan for the worst. everybody is suggesting that the vaccine will be able to be manufactured in mass scale next year but the question is how much in the fall and will that help the baseline level of community and immunity which in new york is 20%? if you can get five or 10% in the fall ahead of the worst influenza season in january or february, that would help. overall i'm very optimistic of the vaccine results. >> trace: that is good news, dr. carey, always good insight, thank you very much. >> thank you, trace.
