desantis is leaving beaches in three counties, miami dade, brbro broward and palm beach closed for now. that includes the iconic miami beach. like many urban areas, southeast florida is a patchwork of county and it city governments. the miami beach mayor is gojoing us. thank you for taking a few moments to join us. statistics show even though southeast florida only accounts for 30% of the state's population, the area has more than 50% of the confirmed cases and covid-19 case. so i assume you agreed with the governor on this at least for now. keep miami beach in fact closed. >> absolutely. my county is 10% maybe of the state. we have a third of all the deaths, 373 people have succumbed to the disease. so it's very prevalent here, the hot spot, and we know what will happen if we open up our beaches. tens of thousands of people will come and will probably look like spring break did at the beginning of march, which is obviously terrible. so we're not going to rush into an exit of this pandemic. >> as you know, some local leaders are calling to open miami beach, whether south beach, moving

miami, ft. lauderdale, and palm beach.he miami beach mayor, dan gelber is joining us right now with his plans for miami beach, one of my favorite areas. so, welcome, mayor gelber. you're talking about gingerly reopening miami beach. tell us about your phase plans. where do things stand right now? >> well, you know, there's florida and then there's south florida and then there's dade county. and dade county has about a third of the deaths and about a third of the covid cases out of 67 counties, so we're really the hot center of it. we're going to go slower than even other parts of the county, and certainly, every other part of the state. in large part because there's so much disease here, but more than that, i don't think anybody really has a playbook or a manual for this. there's not a whole lot of direction coming from washington, and there's an incredible amount of desire and frustration, so you've got to really try to make sure that you don't rush into this thing, because i think the worst thing to do, given the fact th

nearly a third of those live in miami beach. nbc's sam brock is there this morning. the city seems to be having a tough time enforcing the guidelines as they try to reopen. what is going on? >> reporter: here's the big picture, stephanie. miami-dade county is one of the counties excluded from reopening because of the relatively high number of cases here. the local leaders having more aggressive than the state. now they're turning around to try to give people a breath of fresh air and see how it goes. parent at southpoint park, apparently not that well. you see yellow tape, because they opened it for all of five days. it's one of the parks opened, and we found out according to miami beach's mayor there were 7,000-plus warnings of people not wearing facial coverings, which was a requirement. you see people sprawled out all over this strip of land, way too many people than what public officials were hoping for. it was a situation where this say if you're a parent and the kid comes back at midnight, that may be how local leaders feel. the numbers are going in the drying

joining us now is miami beach mayor dan gelber. thank you for being here.eeling this morning as much of your state reopens? >> well, i understand what is happening elsewhere, but here we can't open at the same speed. a third of the infections, a third of the deaths are in our county. so though there are 67 counties, this clearly is an area that is different than other places. so we cannot rush into a reopening. >> are your hospitals keeping up with the demand in miami beach? >> yes. in fact, miami beach and dade county, what our hospitals have done is reduced their capacities so we have an incredible amount of vacant beds waiting and if necessary ready, it costs them huge amounts of money, but they have a terrific job of having, you know, 50% and sometimes miami beach is even bigger than that in terms of capacity to address whatever comes. >> that's good to hear. you shut down your beaches. your world famous beaches, obviously that so many tourists come from everywhere to want to enjoy. you shut them down on march 23rd, when are these going to reopen? >> yo

public beaches in miami dade, palm beach county, broward county in south florida are not open this weekend. the lifeguards are still working, but instead of keeping an eye on swimmers, they're patrolling the beaches to keep people away. in other places around the country where stay-at-home orders are still in effect, signs of quarantine fatigue. protesters gathering at laguna beach, california after the governor in california closed all the beaches in orange county. and this was the national mall here in washington d.c. this afternoon during a flyover by the blue angels to honor health care workers and first responders. new york city central park also very busy today despite the stay-at-home order. nypd officers were out reminding people to keep a safe distance from each other. bill de blasio told our reporter just a moment ago that for the most part people in new york are following the rules. >> but families have been doing that the right way and people are overwhelmingly abiding by that social distancing. more and more people putting on the face coverings we're giving them out for free t

back to miami, miami beach right now. you anticipate happening tonight, and i assume the curfew, miami-dade county can you few curfew at 9:00 p.m. goer miami beach. what do you anticipate happening? >> absolutely. all the mayors talk to one another and there's a good amount of unrest and we wanted to give a little more time to, so that things seemed to escalate at night more than any other time. that's when the looting happens. we wanted to stop that and we'll hold off the beach opening, because we're not sure what kind of crowds we're going to get to the beaches, at least a day. after that, we'll consider the time to reopen it. we wanted to reopen them during the week. tip uk wiypically we would talk the pandemic. 9 week as opposed to the weekend, to see the crowds and see the measures needed by the time the weekend came. that's the purpose we started on monday, or maybe tuesday now. >> good luck down there in miami beach, mayor gelber. appreciate very much your joining us. speaking regularly over the last few weeks on th

miami beach, where that video was taken that you're looking at, is in miami-dade. it is important to look at the numbers because here is what the numbers show. these are the cases in miami-dade. 36% of the nearly 39 cases, 39,000 cases, excuse me, in the state of florida, are in miami-dade county. when it comes to deaths, 28% of the 1600 deaths are in miami-dade and, jim, here's one other important number, when you look at the deaths linked to nursing homes, 24% of the more than 600 deaths linked to nursing homes happened in miami-dade. jim? >> rosa flores, thanks so much. >>> still to come, the president just explaining how close he got to his valet or personal aide, the one who tested positive for coronavirus. we'll fill you in ahead. >>> the white house senior economic adviser kevin hassett will be with us to talk about the devastating job losses. >>> as we speak, officials from georgia bureau of investigation providing details on the arrest made in the shooting death, the shocking shooting death of ahmaud are ahmaud arbery. we'll have the latest just ahead. who

and broward were the last counties to open we decided to open later than the counterparts also miami beach in miami gardens and hialeah and we have done that for a variety of reasons because we want to coordinate amongst each other and the second reason is the county gave us the rules the week before so we wanted to implement them and then to see if there were any adjustments we needed to make it carefully and cautiously. >>. >> do you wish the governor and other parts of the states would moves more slowly to let miami and south florida not just be isolated on their own? >> one of the things i asked the president to do is suspend the flights from the hotspots in the international airport with 50 million passengers which is twice the population of the state of florida right now supposedly running at 10 percent of total capacity we saw 5 million passengers coming through their almost double the size of miami-dade county so we implement stay-at-home orders and curfews with a disciplined approach internally and that we could see an uptick from people coming from other covid-19 hotspots through

we have done the -- done it with miami beach and miami garden.e have done that with the root -- we have done that for a variety of reasons. one is to coordinate functions. the second is the county gave us the rules for opening a week before. we wanted residents to have an opportunity to digest them. we wanted to see how it rolled out and if there were any adjustments we needed to make in the rollout. we have done it carefully and cautiously. >> you committed the governor -- commended the governor for letting you do your own thing. but do you wish the governor and other parts of the state would move more slowly to let miami and south florida not just be on their own? mayor suarez: our biggest concern is not so much the rest of the state as it is our airport. one thing i asked the president to do is contain flights from covid-19 spots. about 50 million passengers at our international airport. it is right now a diminished capacity, supposedly running a 10% of its total capacity. we still have 5 million passengers going through there, which is almost

of course, our community, not just miami beach but miami-dade county is a destination city. while we open things up we just don't open it up for our neighbors, we bring in tens of thousands of people. my city is only 92,000 residents. we get 10 to 15 million visitors a year from all over the world. so that model is not particularly consistent with physical distancing. >> that's for sure. a lot of beaches on the east coast are opening up this weekend. not the beaches of miami beach. >> right. >> where are you on opening the beaches with all of this in context? >> our commission will discuss it tomorrow with our city manager. in my mind i have sort of thought we really shouldn't do it until early june. but frankly, even with the opening in early june, you know, we have seven and a half miles of beaches in my city. many more miles throughout the county. our beaches are totally public. you can't limit capacity. we don't have a turnstile to let you in. we frequently see tens and tens of thousands of people on them like they were at spring break at the beginning of march when i th

this beach, my beach, even on the busiest days it's nowhere near what it looks like anyplace on miami beach. so i think that the restrictions could be a little looser here. we just don't have the population. >> reporter: chris, she stalked about the business aspect of things. i'm in palm beach county right now. they reopened about a week and a half ago. i was talking to a restaurant owner who says he has sidewalk cafes on the beach. he sees demand between 8:00 a.m. and 2:45 in the afternoon, both nonstop. obviously that's not the case right now. a lifeblood of the ecosystem are the beaches. in miami beach, about 600 stores coming online today. at least they have the option to do that with restaurants coming in next wednesday. the one thing that remains right now, chris, hotels in miami beach still not open with no timeline for when that will happen. chris, back to you. >> nbc's sam brock. thanks so much for that. let's head to the northeast and to connecticut which is the last state to begin reopening. you have restaurants, shopping malls and offices in the state that can get back to busine

>> we're coordinating with cities which have 50% of the population, it's miami, miami beach, and miami gardens. the reason we did that is, first of all, we got the instructions or the rules very, very late last week so we wanted to give our residents an opportunity to digest them, we wanted to be able to educate them, get the business owners time to ramp up so everyone can feel comfortable with reopening. the second thing, obviously, is we want to see how it goes with the county. we're the major cities and we have the densest population. we want to make sure that we're being deliberate and that if there's anything that we see that the county's doing that we don't like we can make adjustments and the things they're doing we like we can follow their lead. we're taking a more sort of conservative approach, restaurants open a week from wednesday, not today. so they'll be opening on the 27th. and so we're doing that just as a precautionary measure, and we're doing it in conjunction with all the major cities. >> miami, of course, a major destination for tourism. one of my favorite american c

is miami beach going to be open this holiday weekend? arez: the beaches are not and neither are hotels. and that is a decision that my colleague has made and i respect that. i agree with that decision. one of the things we are seeing, one of the reasons why we got together in terms of this phase one opening. and different in miami-dade county. we know that what we do impacts other cities. -- asappens is the mayor mayor of miami, i take the heat for all the cities. beach city decides, miami opens beaches and there are a flood of people at the beaches, it gets national news and i get the call. my good friend, the mayor there, was very sympathetic to meet and decided not to open the beaches. this is a sensible path. we have seen in beaches throughout the -- for whatever reason, people not respecting the rules. for police tot patrol. you do not have the manpower to patrol that amount of land mass where people are just not following rules. enforcement, what is it like to be miami's mayor and talk to your police chief? are you telling them to b

miami beach, where the beaches are remaining closed. joining me now is miami beach mayor dan gelber. mr. mayor, thank you very much for joining us. your beaches are still closed. tell me what goes into that decision. >> well, our beaches are closed because, first of all, we're different than clearwater. we've got, you know, thousands and thousands of covid cases. i think, probably, of the 13,000 cases in florida, a third of them are in dade county. and about, you know, a third of the deaths almost are in dade county. so we really are still a hotspot. and, of course, the challenge we're going to have is, assuming we can get the disease presence to a level we can manage and we have all the, you know, the tracing and the surveillance testing, we still have to be able to control social distancing. and our beaches attract tens of thousands of people. they're open beaches. you can't limit them to residents. and, frankly, we expect if we open them up, we are going to get an incredible amount of people that will be very hard to manage. so we're

sam brock is in miami beach for us., these numbers of prisoners testing positive, they're hard to get a hold of. prisoners are excluded from state case counts. why is that? >> reporter: that's a great point. it deals with the fact that you're dealing with a game of telephone. the texas department of criminal justice, they report their numbers daily to the texas state health department at which point that health department passes those positive numbers down to the counties. it's then that the county's discretion on whether or not they want to include inmate numbers in their covid-19 case counts that are released. so that's -- it leaves it to local leaders on whether or not they want to include that and release that information. that's one of the issues that makes it murky and each state has different rules when it comes to who can include those numbers and who can't. in the meantime, a third of all texas inmates are under lockdown because of the persistence of this virus behind prison walls and we know that that includes

my colleague sam brock is in miami beach with more.m, we know there's a whole lot of restaurants reopening, but they need fepeople to show up. is that going to happen? >> right. so the big problem, stephanie, is that there is so much that thrives on tourism down here. the beaches and hotels don't open until next week. once that hurdle gets cleared i'd expect to see more people filling up tables down here. you're looking at something that's novel for miami beach, certainly for ocean drive. there's about a dozen tables out here just to this one restaurant. the palace. which they say has expanded the amount of people they can seat to about 75% of capacity. the 50% is the restriction right now for restaurants opening in miami beach. come with me for a sending. i'm going to show you what the rest of the street looks like now. it's this huge hub. you've done some reporting on outdoor dining in the face of coronavirus right now. this is what it looks like in miami. a bunch of set-ups where restaurants have slid their tables and seating outsid

we are joined by the mayor of miami beach. thank you for joining us as well. beaches in other parts of florida, daytona beach -- i spoke with the mayor there in the last hour, they are reopening in time for this memorial day weekend but your beautiful beaches at miami beach remain closed. tell us why you are taking this more cautious approach to reopening? >> well, our beaches will open on june 1st. we are going slower across the board because there is much more virus here and we tend to attract a higher number of people than most other places. virtually any other place in the state. so we recognize that's a chapg challenge 678 we were the first close your beaches and i think we will be the last to reopen them in june. >> are you concerned, mayor, that your respects will simply travel to beaches elsewhere in florida, in other counties, potentially bring back coronavirus cases with them? >> well, i think that the only -- broward county is opening up i think a few days before us. i don't know that it is that much of a chance. but we really don't have a choice. yo

miami beach police did not have information on what started the confrontation, but told cnn no arrests were made. tension, confrontation, and violence seem to have escalated in recent weeks, as businesses have opened up and customers have brushed back on the rules requiring face masks. >> and it's frightening. a lot of these stores are trying to follow the rules and regulations that have been placed out there. but, without additional security, it's become very difficult for them. people are angry. people are frustrated. what this means for individual businesses, it puts them and their employees at a greater risk. >> we asked a psychiatrist, who's worked with law enforcement, what is it about being asked to wear face masks, which might set off confrontations? >> the face is a very personal -- our most personal space. when we're telling people you have to cover that up, it really can evoke a very primitive sense about the fact that you are trying to dominate me. you are trying to humiliate me. you are trying to control me. and i'm not going to do it. >> some who have resisted wearing mas

i'm live on ocean drive, iconic miami beach. the street is completely blocked off and that's for a reason. it will allow restaurants to spill over seating on to the street to allow for social distancing. now, all along this strip, you will also see hand washing stations like this one so patrons can be safe. as you look down the strip, you'll see some restaurants appear to be reopen ing, others are not. here are some of the restrictions. restaurants will be allowed to reopen at about 50% capacity and employees and customers will have to wear masks. the floors will have to be marked for social distancing purposes and also employees will have to do temperature checks. according to the mayor of this city, about 800 restaurants are in miami beach and only a third will be reopening today and here's why. >> many of them suffered some pretty severe economic injury and also because there is a real question as to how many people will be coming out recognizing that they still have to be comfortable going into the public and going into the

. >> nbc news correspondent sam brock joins us from miami beach. sam, florida's infections are down but with all of this crowding, how long will that be down? >> look, andrea, six feet may be different things to different people but six feet is six feet. over my shoulder right now you see south point park, that was open until three days ago. now clearly yellow police tape and officers behind me. it's not open right now. the mayor of miami beach was on msnbc this morning speaking with stephanie ruhle. he said look, we've got a couple dozen parks we opened in the last week or so. most are fine. the main issue here is south point park, a borderline bonanza when you had thousands of people coming out here, many not wearing masks. the mayor saying there were more than 7,000-plus warnings of people not wearing masks. most of them were right here. that's the concern, this is an attraction, if you open this up, could it be a harbinger for what beaches might look like? and that's so intricately tied to the economy in florida. 10 million visitors to miami be

frrms but it's going to be catastrophic. >> will it make things safer for people to go to the beaches in miami? >> we've taken a very cautious approach. our governor has allowed the state of florida to open at its own pace. andb gree with the mayor in deciding to wait until june first to open the beaches. we just have opened a tremendous amount of irresponsible behavior we waited to open marinas and we're starting to see images of people not acting responsibly on our water ways. we just want to make sure people continue to act so we can continue along the path of reopening we started this week. >> we're showing images of north of hawaii. they're not on the beach themselves. people appear to be staying off the beach, as they should be. lots of folks are on the walkway. from what you've seen so far in maerm, in your city, are people generally following the rules? >> i think they're generally following the rules. i've seen a high percentage of people, 80 to 90%, wearing masks outside. it's nerve racking when you start seeing the volume of people on the streets. and inevitably in close proximity.

that's in broward county, north of miami beach. a day like today, a beautiful day like this, that boardwalk over there on the beach would be packed. i don't see anybody anywhere near that boardwalk or in the waters, or certainly not on the beach right now. we'll continue to follow that story as well. >>> as the u.s. death toll from the coronavirus pandemic rises -- it's now about 67,000 -- the biggest question on a lot of people's mind is when will we see a real vaccine? more specifically, could it be ready by the start of 2021? it's an issue dr. deborah birx, a key member of the white house coronavirus task force, addressed earlier today. >> on paper, it's possible. it's whether we can execute and execute around the globe, because you also for phase three have to have active viral transmission in a community in order to study its efficacy. >> all right, let's discuss with dr. patrice harris. she's the president of the american medical association, and dr. jeremy faust, an emergency physician. dr. faust, you heard dr. birx say that

>> reporter: you know, we actually just talked to miami beach, jim, and they reopened parks on wednesday and we're learning that they just closed one park because people were not adhering to the social distancing guidelines. but when it comes to the state of florida, it really is using a geographic approach. most of the state will be kicking off and reopening today with phase 1, except for three counties, and that's miami-dade where i am, broward and palm beach. these three counties make up 30% of the state, but they account for 60% of the deaths and the cases as well. that's why these three mayors got together and they decided to reopen together. they are exempt from phase 1. but like i mentioned, they did reopen parks, waterways and other green spaces starting on wednesday, and we're learning from miami beach, at least in that locality, people are not following the rules. and so local governments are ready to close some of these parks if they see that the rules are not being followed. when it comes to the rest of the state, phase 1 kicks off today. this means that restaurants and retai

miami beach had opened up parks. we saw a rush of people go to parks in south beach and particular pit at that park had to be closed. one of the things we did in our reopening for phase 1 was lineup with miami gardens to make sure that we would not create any sort of brushes between the city. that is something we are hopeful and opening up the parks will give people much more free space to go out int and enjoy the outdoors. it has been in our exception to our stay at home order appeared to go out and walk your dog and exercise et cetera. >> neil: all right, mayor. thank you very much. miami, florida. just a couple of other developments we are following today before we take a quick break. at the corner of wall and broad, we had a big old rally. not so much with what is happening on all states opening up, although that is helpful and they are opening without too many hitches. but the underlying economy might be a little bit stronger than thought. locations were up at 6% in the latest suite from the previous week. peopl

now back to miami beach, and the city of miami. the mayors of these cities have said that they want to take it slow. they don't want to rush into anything, because they know that their cities are magnets for people around florida. people are going to want to go to ocean drive and to south beach, and so that's why they're taking it slow. er this not reopening today. they plan to reopen retail starting on wednesday, and then a week from wednesday they plan to reopen restaurants. now, jim and poppy, i want to leave you with this. i'm live in doral because this is one of the cities that is actually reopening in miami-dade, the strip behind me is reopening and the barbershop opened up at 8:00 a.m., and they're not closing until midnight, so all of those people that have been in quarantine in south florida might be asking for appointments here. there are restrictions. there's about 15 minutes that are required between appointments, but again, barbershop here open until midnight. jim and poppy? >> it says a lot. we wish them luck as they

>> mayor of miami beach decided not to reopen, a decision i agree with for now. not going to be open until early june. we have seen images through the united states of people flocking to beaches. obviously beaches as you mention are warm weather, they're outdoors. the concern is that images you're displaying now show that people for whatever reason have a hard time socially distancing. that's the big issue. i think we have seen that unfortunately in some parks as well. we didn't line up completely on park openings, saw a rush to people wanting to go to city parks and had to be closed down. major cities, miami, hialeah, miami beach are going to not create rushes. >> what do you sense the economic impact of this will be? we have seen the statistics of unemployment claims going up, businesses not able to, threatened to going out of business, losing everything they have. having a partial reopening with restrictions, with folks at least ideally being more cautious, what do you think that does to the economy? how far back do you think that gets it? >> i think the econom

retail reopens in miami beach today but not the beaches or the hundreds of bars and restaurants, not yet. >> this is to see how we do. we're a crowd-based city, so we want to make sure we don't draw too large a crowd. >> reporter: mike schultz think he caught the virus in miami-beach prelockdown at a festival, posting these pictures before and after six weeks in the icu. controlling crowds was, is, and will be key, maybe for many. months and rules will vary because the big apple, on long island, not on new york city. where they're now offering free testing to anyone who works at or lives in the city's 169 nursing homes. >> we have to redouble our efforts to help those most vulnerable. >> reporter: boston now targeting june 1 to start, but taking more time than the rest of massachusetts before opening up, say, office space. >> for example, making sure that when people go into buildings, they get temperature checks, they get asked some basic questions, making sure there's proper protocol and tracing. i think we have to get this right the first time. >> reporter: july 4th, six plus week
