it's tom barrett from milwaukee. i just want to know is anybody asking the questions if you're moving around and you're asymptomatic, are they answering these questions for you? are they thinking about those things? >> i think people are still looking at those guidelines. that is going to be a really big factor. the contact tracing is going to be the other thing. it's going to require so much staffing. dr. birx has been speaking with hospitals and states about that, about doing pilot programs in their areas. that's going to be a really big question as we're moving forward and we have to wait to see if any of these governors start to implement these practices starting tomorrow or if they wait and move on their own terms like the governors said they would. >> we need to know that before tomorrow if they want to open it. thank you both. i appreciate your time. >>> wisconsin, one of the states extending their stay-at-home orders today. so, i want to bring in tom barrett. mayor, thank you so much. i really appreciate you

. >> we begin with nbc news correspondent mara barrett. pennsylvania is making plans for the reopening plans. i did not realize they had drive-thru self swab sites. i didn't know they combined them. >> reporter: yeah. this is something they started doing in recent weeks. one of two sites in southeastern pennsylvania. it is foggy here, but it should open in the next hour or so. as the governor is looking for a soft regional reopen on may 8181tth, experts say this is essential to make sure that there is not another outbreak as people start to go out and about during the soft reopenings. contact tracing is when people who identify as positive let public health officials know and those officials can reach out to anybody that positive person could have come in contact to and tell them to self isolate and spider webs to protect people. i spoke with the doctor at penn medicine yesterday about why we are talking about contact tracing as people reopen. take a listen. >> health workers tend to be working behind the scenes. they are not visible to th

tom barrett is the mayor of milwaukee.nfident the order is going to stand up in the wisconsin supreme court? >> i can't say that i'm confident. i'm certainly hopeful. but whatever happens i could say this and governor's ebbers placed him on the right side of public health and history because his actions today, i think, save lives and protected our democracy. >> why are republicans in wisconsin so adamant about having in-person voting for this primary and fighting efforts to extend absentee voting? >> that defies logic in my mind. because when you think about it, every single other state, every other state that had a primary in the month of april moved it. i believe that if we had this election tomorrow it would be the largest public event in the country. and here we are in this pandemic that does not have a scientific exemption for elections to go forward with it, i think, would put many, many people at risk. so i can't give you a logical explanation as to why they're so adamantly opposed to it. but again i'm proud of the

to mara barrett. this is really hard for the workers across the hotel and restaurant industry. how are they reacting to the shutdowns? >> reporter: yeah, good morning, alex. new york relies on hospitality industry, employing 77,000 people here in the region around philadelphia and, of course, including the border into new jersey as well. the art museum is just behind me. the liberty bell, independence hall all just a few blocks away. the tourists coming from across the country and internationally are not visiting philadelphia right now so 25 hotels have closed. lots of travel has been upgraded. philadelphia is an east coast hub. people aren't traveling anymore. we're expecting to see a 50% cut in 2020 overall. philadelphia expects to make that as well. when you're not coming to the airport the restaurants and bars are hit as well. i spoke with a restaurant worker employed up until a couple pewes ago. her health insurance was cut off because of coronavirus and protections at the airport. here is what she told me. >> who knows if i'm even going to be making half decent money when

joining us from harrisburg, pennsylvania, nbc news mara barrett. >> this protest is actually just wrapping up as organizers just closed out some of their speech saying they are looking for people to stay strong and get back to work and make pennsylvania great again. obviously, we're talking about that conversation at the intersection and that was clear here today. we saw many people with trump 2020 signs and make america great again hats and pennsylvania is a state that went for trump in 2016 and a key battleground state for the president in 2020. democratic governor tom wolf facing a lot of pressure from republicans in this state because of his stay-at-home order and shutting down the life-sustaining businesses. he will extend the stay-at-home order until may 8th but allowing some car sales online, as well as certain construction projects which are some of the items that people were protesting here against because his suspension of nonlife-sustaining businesses were so strict. i spoke with a couple protesters just earlier about where exactly their frustrations lie. take a listen to what t

was brought before a court in kiruna the northernmost town in sweden and the man behind it is matty barrett who runs a nearby reindeer co-operative he's delighted with the ruling but not with the furious criticism that he and other sammy herders are now facing. at 1st glance it's a once her wonderland high in sweden's north so far north it was thought to be the end of the world. the ground is barren the spruce small snow covers the ground most of the year. as forest is home to the indigenous sami people and their reindeer. for the sami the forest means everything head of gary a cooperative of reindeer owners near corona is monte berg who has lived here all his life he suffers almost physically when he has to go to the city. court cases have repeatedly forced him to go to the unloved city for 10 years he argued there and represented his people's cars before the supreme court at issue where the hunting and fishing rights. the verdict was unexpected the indigenous people and not the state are to decide who is allowed to hunt and fish on their territory. well. everyone should be happy the judgm

for the very latest let's cross over to your correspondent burned in brussels barrett we heard about spain in that story what other countries in europe are hurting from the collapse of tourism and travel. they really think of tourism in europe of cause all the southern countries come to mind italy portugal greece even cyprus they make a lot of revenue out of tourism in the case of spain 100000000000 euros a year but also the other countries are suffering for example judgment he makes $260000000000.00 euros out of tourism every year so all the european countries affected more dependent some more dependent on revenue like greece and so all human assist try to come up with a plan how to reopen the botha's in europe so that people can can actually travel to other countries but there are many concepts in the nobody knows exactly the time table also for example wants to open up a for its neighbors like germany hungary or slovenia in the space and also wants to lure in tourists again as early as june but the german minister german phone news cycle mazas warning don't make it so quick he's t

maura barrett, you're in harrisburg, pennsylvania. i know the governor is going to be briefing shortly, but there have been protests there. what have you been seeing there, as we see protests around the country? >> reporter: andrea, the reopen pennsylvania protest was supposed to be one where people stayed in their cars, honking around the capitol building here, but as i look around, there are easily more than 1,000 people here on the capitol hill steps, along the streets, around holding american flags. lots of signs saying "impeach the governor," "we need our jobs back," "all jobs are essential," and many of them, andrea, are not wearing masks. so obviously, when we talk about social distancing, that is very clearly not happening here. when i spoke to some people about why they decided to come out today, they think that the government and the politics have amplified this conversation and have blown the virus out of proportion is what they tell me. and i asked them if it's a political issue outside of the governor here, and as you can

and not his bottom but physical privacy isn't the only thing to be concerned about after lindsay barrett an attorney with georgetown law school's institute for public representation told the intercept the c.d.c. and state and local governments are reportedly using location data from advertisers to track the movements of people they suspect of carrying covert 19 not only can the government track you as if you're in a game of sam's but now they know you took your smartphone from your couch 'd to your toilet and didn't wash your hands. but the use of location data is just the tip of an iceberg filled with companies and agencies hoping to cover up their past invasions of privacy while expanding potentially irreversible privacy invasion in the name of covert 900 data collection a practice that privacy expert and activists will be crystal refers to as ovid washing. but the term covert washing doesn't explain why the company palin tear is getting praise for using its surveillance technology to track covert 19 infections for the u.k.'s national health service even though palin tears c.e.o. final

in new york a mass burial has been taking place and the death toll barrett remains high with more casesrus remains high with more than every single country. prime ministerjohnson has out of intensive care and is walking about we are told and continues to improve in the hospital where he has been thinking the whole clinical team who have been treating him for the incredible care he has received. he says his thoughts are with all of those who have been affected by this terrible disease. elsewhere in the european union finance ministers have agreed to emergency rescue package with half e1 trillion to the worst hit by the pandemic. the first report this evening comes from hugh penn. work on birmingham's new temporary hospital has progressed so fast it's ready to take patients today. that was the message from local health leaders at the latest nightingale hospital for coronavirus cases based at the national exhibition centre. it will be well—equipped, but it comes at a time when some health staff elsewhere are worried about their safety. they say they're still not able to get the right perso

obviously barnum and barrett on - - barnum & bailey and ringling brothers circus is a name we have known throughout her k lifetime. which ended in 2017 so that name has carried on to some extent but we also think we know b him because the early part of his career the famous sign this way to the egress they thought it was a fantastic based they would .ind themselves out on the street and then have to pay another quarter to get back into the museum that story probably is true but also barnum said the phrase there is a sucker born t every minute that is almost certainly false it's hard to prove something didn't happen. but barnum wrote many more words were writtenny about him have there is no sign anywhere or even thought it because to me the most persuasive argument of his set on having said that the relationship he began to develop with the museum goers it was a theater through those melodramas and then in the circus career that was really the last quarter of his life he was always careful with his relationship about the audience he did not overtly exploit them in a way there's a sucker b

of really about the fact that they might have developed star or in this particular who were on the barrett you're thinking about and we're going to make it when i. have a heart oh you know i have a longer harder agree it is the common one. although the current coronavirus a pandemic is also throwing up such a thing as there are differences now to some of these could even have a positive effect on people's mental health. and they are going to have a sense of community so what we see now is there are so many people in isolation but people don't feel they're the only ones you know there is a lot more communication as well now we have to. the other thing that's happened this time which is very different from sars is that there is a lot of psychological support what are they seeing people can do if they find themselves now in isolation and keep in touch with family and friends by using technology they will provide you a tremendous amount of support the other thing is setting out a routine and routine helps in harming one's peers and inside these. even though the world might seem grim at the mom

i've got more on that i'm joined now here in the studio by my colleague stephen barrett flee from a business so let's start 1st of all with the new forecast a german economy could shrink by more than 6 percent in 2020 put that into perspective for us if we talked about this year ago you probably would have believed me if i told you minus 6 percent the numbers are sort of staggering you know germany is an export oriented economy that exports so many of its goods overseas exports could fall 11 percent this year private consumption here in germany could fall 7 percent these are very big numbers other nations will face similar numbers as well but at the end of the day it is just a number i think we're starting to realize what the actual effect is we're seeing more job losses we're seeing more businesses that are staying closed and that's going to be the ultimate toll is what we see with our own eyes how the economy's affected how we feel about the economy as consumers and that's yet to be determined because everything remains so unclear so while the government wants to continually forecast that

defending his strategy president trump is consistently sought to attribute lim to his predecessor barrett leaving the shelves empty, referring to the us national stockpile of medical supplies as well as creating bureaucratic red tape which has slowed the us ability to test. doctor beth camara served as senior director for global health security on the white houses national security council under barack obama, an office disbanded by the trump administration by 2018. thank you for coming. tell us what your role was during the obama administration. i was the senior director for global health security and bio defence on the national security staff and this was an office that the obama administration set up after the bowler epidemic in 2014. the goal was to get ahead of pandemic threats and we focused not only on pandemic response but also on pandemic badness, working with partners around the world. if i am correct that was shut down. tell us what has changed in the current administration. the office was dissolved and it was dissolved one year into the trump administration and so many of us wh

some thoughts now from abraham a political activist in barrett who we spoke to he says the crisis in lebanon has only worsened during this coronavirus lockdown during this time there was a huge buildup of anger at the people because of the tear it in economic situation and devaluation of the lira all combine the people are hoping to give a lot of chances for this particular subject and the slight chance was this new government the government and so far there has been no or no sign whatsoever of serious intervention to resolve the economic crisis now that the people cannot tolerate anymore any try any attempt to. to run away from the responsibility to send the last press conference blaming the governor of the central bank was really i think. attempted to try and throw this possibility back as a government they have all the tools and the legal tools to really address these issues and with the particular with the central bank and nothing has been done so far for the past 3 months and the really the situation is that has a snowball effect now and the situation is getting worse by the min
