ayman?thanks. >>> as vicky mentioned, those antibody tests are catching the attention of congress. nbc is exclusively reporting on a house panel that is sounding the alarm over early data from researchers in california. that data shows a troubling high rate of false results in those tests. one in three antibody tests produced false positives more than 10% of the time. house oversight subcommittee demanding some companies hand over their testing data and wants the fda to revise its policy and vet those tests before they hit the market. the lawmaker leading that charge joins me now raja krishnamoorthi. he chairs the oversight committee and sits on the intelligence committee. let's talk a little bit about some of this oversight here. you sent letters to both the fda and four companies, have you heard back from them regarding any of the questions you've raised? >> no, not yet. in fact with regard to the fda, we've sent multiple letters now and we asked them by may 6th to rescind their policy of

ayman?> ron allen live for us on the ground there in brooklyn, new york. let's go over to the west coast to erin mclaughlin in seattle. washington joining oregon and california in a coordinated approach to reopening their economy. similar to what we heard from the connecticut governor out here on the east coast yesterday. you've been talking with the mayor of seattle. how does she want to see this play out for her city? >> reporter: ayman, the mayor says she wants to see a slow phased approach based on science. she also said that seattle is not ready to reopen. washington, yes, has flattened the curve, maybe even be on the downside of the curve, but they're still seeing community spread. just this week, the university of washington announcing 14 medical workers diagnosed with covid-19, some of them asymptomatic. she said reopening the economy now risks devastation. take a listen. >> we've got to continue this activity and this behavior. if we don't, then we'll see a spike and everybody knows

good to see you, ayman.his, of course, is the good samaritan's field hospital that we've been talking about. at last check, they had some 41 patients inside those tents. three of those patients are in intensive care. they were able to release five patients yesterday. we're told they expect to be able to release a few more patients today as well. so some promising news. of course this is that emergency field hospital that was set up in the east meadow of new york central park in the span of 48 hours. they can take as many as 70 patients. over the next two weeks, what we're going to do is take you to various hot spots in and around new york city and of course taking the necessary precautions as well. hence the gloves, hence the mask. but today we're going to be here for the hour. we're also going to take you out to long island as well where we've seen quite the dramatic surge in cases over the past 48 hours. we'll also go to the javits center. we've got some new numbers for the javits center. we're in and arou

i'm ayman mohyeldin in for hallie jackson. potential collision course in the battle against the coronavirus. new warnings coming out from parts of the u.s. as president trump eyes may 1st for a push to lift lock downs. the death toll is closing in on 100,000 lives lost so far. the u.s. nearing 17,000 as deaths in new york hit another record high. the state's hospital admissions continuing to slow down while california reports a drop in patients needing intensive care. plus, the economic devastation continues to mount. the behind the scenes debates in washington about what happens next. and new reporting on missed warning signs back in november. we want to start with kara lee who is coverings the white house for us, ron allen and morgan radford is in philadelphia for us. the city being told to expect next week to be its worst yet. the push from inside the trump administration, we all have heard the news right now, to reopen the country in just three weeks from now, putting him at odds against the messages coming out of almost e

>> reporter: two things, ayman. the blueprint is an acknowledgement by the white house that testing is going to be key to reopening the economy, despite the president having said multiple times that testing was going just fine. it's also after weeks -- comes after weeks of him insisting that, you know, he wasn't going to need to help the states, that it was the -- it wasn't the federal government's responsibility to help the states with testing. now we're hearing a very different tone from the president and he's saying that indeed, you know, the federal government will play a role as he tries to push for opening up the economy. let's take a listen of what he had to say yesterday. >> for several weeks, my administration has encouraged the governors to leverage unused testing capacity in states. very few understood that we have tremendous capacity. we are continuing to expand our capacity and am confident that we have enough testing to begin reopening and the reopening process. we want to get our country open and the

ayman?> thank you both for starting us off this hour. >>> joining me now, the director of the harvard global health institute and an internal medicine physician and msnbc medical contributor. good to have both of you doctors with us. take a look at this stunning slide behind president trump. the goal is to see between 100,000 and 240,000 deaths. that was the number that was touted yesterday. this is a pretty sobering image. do you think, do you have any reason to doubt that? do you think it's accurate? >> that is -- it certainly is possible that we're going to get that many deaths and it's possible we're going to have more people than that die. i think it's worth remembering, that is a high number. that's three to eight times as many people who die in a car accident every year. and a lot of this was because we were so late to the game. if we do everything right now, i think we can get that number to be -- on the low end, it maybe lower than 100,000, but it's going to be hard because we've be

>> well, ayman, what is next is the economy. the president's expected to really lean into an economic message this month. or this week. he's facing two benchmarks at the end of the week, the first is april 30th and the end of the white house's stop the spread strict social distancing guidelines to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus and the second is the may 1st benchmark that he set for reopening the economy. the white house put out some very broad guidelines on how to do that. the question now is, are they going to be more detailed about this? we've heard dr. birx, for instance, say that social distancing will be with us for -- through the summer. how do they kind of marry all of these different aspects of coronavirus -- the desire to open the economy with the need to perhaps maintain some of the social distancing guidelines. will we see more detailed plans from the white house about things like schools, summer scamp camps, places of worship. and the president is going to want to pivot toward leaning into the economy. we
