the daily toll in new york state is at its lowest in two weeks. however, governor cuomo says it it is not yet time to ease restrictions. meanwhile, in several other states around the country this weekend, we saw scattered rallies. small, but vehement groups of people demanding an end to stay-at-home rules. even though polls show most americans believe the worst is yet to come, and worry governors will lift restrictions too quickly. we have team coverage this morning and we start with trevor ault in times square. good morning to you, trevor. >> reporter: eva, good morning. the covid-19 pandemic continues to devastate the country even with these sweeping stay-at-home orders. ed eryayoramericans ha still eihe cases climb, but in some cities, a small, but an increasingly vocal minority of people say these restrictions and business closures have gone too far.

leaders say they're still far behind in testing to have an accurate handle on how the virus is spreading in their community. >> i'm not asking the federal government to come in and do any more than they need to do, but we do need their coordination, and we do need their partnership. >> reporter: new york remains the hardest hit state in the country, but appears to be gaining the upper hand. governor cuomo saying the latest numbers indicate new york may be passed its plateau and descending back down the curve, but even so, more than 500 new yorkers died from the virus in the past 24 hours, and a sobering reminder of how deadly the virus is. nationwide, at least 7,000 residents of nursing homes or long-term care facilities have died from coronavirus. 20% of the country's entire death toll, while in some areas like massachusetts, it's as high as 50%. in louisiana, one temporary hospice center now dedicated entirely to terminally ill covid-19 patients, allowing

abc's kaylee hartung joins us live from her home in southern california with more on that. kaylee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. it is an impressive group of experts who have put together this comprehensive plan. it will take collaboration and cooperation, and it will be a challenge on many levels to carry out, but the authors of this plan say with the help of a can-do american spirit, it is possible. this morning, an exclusive first look at what a cast of experts is calling the roadmap to recovery. >> at some point in the not too different future, we're going to have our country back. >> reporter: more than 45 experts joining forces to create a straightforward plan to america back up and running and safely. >> we have to learn about ppe and we have to learn about flattening the curve, and now we have to learn about ttsi, all right. testing, tracing, supported isolation. that's how you find the cases, you get people treatment and you get people isolated. >> reporter: danielle allen is the head of harvard's

center for ethics. she's leading the bipartisan panel that includes doctors, economists and political scientists. the plan centers around massively ramping up testing for the virus. they want 5 million tests daily by early june, and up to 20 million a day by late july. >> testing is a part, an important part, of a multifaceted way that we are going to control and ultimately end this outbreak. >> reporter: massive testing, even of people who don't have m. then the panel's roadmap suggests people who have had recent contact with a positive individual need to be carefully traced. the experts say we'll need contact tracers by the hundreds of thousands, personally reaching out to people on a local level. technology can help, too. apps on our cell phones with built in security and privacy protection can alert people who have come into contact with someone who's covid positive so they can be tested too. >> it's an interesting thing, everybody's worried, is it doable? the question is not whether it is, but it's just how is it

doable? >> reporter: the key to success -- the panel suggest that the federal government create a pandemic testing board. they say they should manage the supply chain, coordinate innovation and technology and scale up efforts as quickly l, w ov prodingore reli workers and the president waging war with state leaders, the questions remain about whether there is enough political will to turn this plan into reality. so what would it cost to put this strategy into motion? experts estimate just a fraction of what continued shutdown of the u.s. economy could cost us. they say this plan would cost $100 billion to $300 billion over two years. that's how much the current l k lockdown has cost us in just one month. eva? >> good perspective there. kaylee hartung, thank you. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton, and our business correspondent deirdre bolton. welcome to both of you. let's start with you, dr. jen. you have been talking to top

experts since the beginning of the outbreak. this plan says testing is critical to restarting the economy and calls for $5 mill5 y me0 milon. l,e -pe roadmap report here. when it talks about testing, it's really about the who, what, when, where and how. one of the things they talk about is changing how the test is done, moving from a nasal swab which has to be done by someone else, to a spit or saliva test, and that's going to be really important to getting this test out to tens of millions of people very, very quickly, and then, of course, we need to aggregate that day to so we can act on those results. >> so, dr. jen, one part of this plan is contact tracing, that element so important? >> well, again, the keywords is test, trace and isolate and when you talk about contact tracing,

the idea behind that is to warn people who have been exposed and then explain to them how they need to isolate themselves and observe for signs and symptoms. we don't still know how long that will be for, or what type of contact, but we already do this for other communicable diseases like hiv, tuberculosis and syphilis. so the premise is already there. we just need to be able to implement it for covid-19. >> deirdre, there's a lot of pressure out there to get the economy going again soon, how bad is the situation right now? >> well, eva, if we look at one metric which is jobs, you had a total in the past of four weeks for unplment benefits. so what that shows in one month, we have lost essentially the job creation that we had in the past decade, since the last recession. i think that's a staggering statistic. some economists that i have been

speaking with say, our national unemployment could go as high as 13% by july. just as a contextual point, if you look back to february, when we had national unemployment at 3.5%, that matched a 50-year low. you can just see this quick, downward trajectory unfortunately that we're experiencing at this moment, and then of course, larger contextual picture, and hopefully we don't even talk about these metrics, in 1933, for example, in the great depression, you had an unemployment rate of around 25%. so hopefully we get nowhere near that, but it's just to show you hoe quickly people are losing their jobs, and it's beginning to hit really all sectors of the economy. we've seen workers from retail, obviously anybody in hospitality lose jobs, but there are fears it will begin to extend even to other segments of the economy, e e-e e-e e

eva. >> deirdre, thank you. we want to welcome you, this is your first appearance on "gma." welcome to the team. >> thank you very much. i'm delighted to be with you. >> great to have you. great job, deirdre. although bracing, scary stuff. dr. jen, thank you as well. let's turn now to the politics of this pandemic. house speaker nancy pelosi highly critical of president trump's handling of the crisis, and in an interview with our chief anchor george stephanopoulos, take a look. >> in a conference call with your caucus earlier this week, you reportedly said, i'm afraid what the president might do during this period. what is it you're afraid of? >> i'm afraid that he's going to act on basis on what he's acted on before -- it's a hoax, it's magically going to disappear, and that's why i sent out the letter that i did after easter. easter gave me time for reflection and prayerfulness about, okay. we don't want to keep harping on what he did wrong because he failed. he's failed in the testing, and

the rest. it's a hoax, and it's going to magically disappear. that's not based on science. >> nancy pelosi speaking to our george stephanopoulos. for more on this, let's bring in abc news political analyst matthew dowd. matthew, good morning. great to see you. so in fairness, president trump has leveled plenty of partisan attacks during the course of this crisis, but i imagine some arthspkesay to grge what we just and accuse h partisanship at a time when the country needs to come together, do you agree or disagree with that kind of charge? >> well, i agree there's way too much partisanship, but it seems to be pretty standard. we had, you know, in the aftermath of the great recession ten years ago, there was partisanship. we had partisanship in the midst of the great depression when fdr was trying to do certain things to help the country. so it seems pretty standard. i was hoping that in the midst of this pandemic, that we would all put it aside and do what's in the best interest of the country at this time. the president hasn't done a good job of putting that partisanship

aside. he's done a few things over the course of the last week that i think are very thoughtful and reasonable in the midst of this, but it seems like we've erntere an impossible way even the pandemic can't stop the partisansh partisanship. >> speaking of the president, let's talk about these protests that we're seeing in several states, scattered protests in states across the country, the president has to signal suppor, wh'sour takethe pridt is playing this? >> well, one of the things i think in the course of this, you know, we don't know for sure whether this is real grassroots or astroturf, whether it's partisan people trying to push this in order to embarrass most of them, you know, democratic governors. there are protests in iowa in this. i think part of the problem, da there seems to be this gulf of empathy, that some people are very empathetic for the illness and all that's going on and rightfully so, but then we also

have to be empathetic for what's going on in the economy. the economy, and what's happening in the states. the people that are hurt the most by this is not wall street. it's main street and people that live paycheck to paycheck. so if i -- if we were a leader in a state whether it's michigan or minnesota, we have to not only convey a sense of this horrible health crisis, but i also think you have to explain, what are you going to do when the time is right to open that state up, and i think if there was more sharing of information, we would have less of this protest and less of people getting angry about it, but again, a tremendous gulf of empathy both on the economy and on the health crisis, and if we can bridge that, i think we would be better off. >> i'm a plus one for the empathy as well. there's an enormous economic pain out there in the country as we try to figure out this delicate balance as whit called it between the virus and reopening the economy. matthew, thank you. appreciate it. and a reminder, to see george's full interview with the house speaker nancy pelosi, tune

into "this week" later this morning. plus white house coronavirus coordinator, dr. deborah birx discussing the administration's response to the coronavirus. that's all coming up on "this week" later this morning right here on abc. eva, over to you. well, graduation season is just arriving, and the air force academy ceremony is a prime example of how the traditional event may look different. abc's clayton sandell has mo♪ the same, but for nearly a thousand air force academy cadets, this graduation looked like no other. >> you knew your graduation day would be memorable, but did you imagine that your commencement would take place in mid-april, or that each of us would have a face mask at the ready? >> reporter: in the age of social distancing, cadets and officials sat eight feet apart and for the first time ever, no guests. >> your families couldn't be here because of the extraordinary times in which we live, but we know they're watching from afar.

>> reporter: more than 500 miles away in utah, allison and scott carleesi watched their daughter rose graduate online. >> to rose! >> reporter: forced to ditch a huge graduation get-together. uc dad,ou did it. >> reporter: some traditions held -- grads still threw hats in the air, putting masks on right after, and the thunderbirds zoomed overhead. the class of 2020 rolling with the punches. >> i would love it if our families were here, however, i would rather them safe at home than risking it to be with me no matter how much that may hurt. >> reporter: for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, denver. and a big congratulations to those graduates. time now for the weather. rob is out in westchester county, new york, this morning, and you're tracking severe weather.
