cori coffin, thank you so much. >>> retail stores are set to open for business. the state has seen more than 10,000 cases of coronavirus. and the number is 399 deaths. nbc's gary grumbach joins us. what do you know? >> reporter: good morning, alex. that's right. welcome to phase one here in rhode island. there's about 100 businesses here in newport, rhode island that are now able to be reopened for the first time in five weeks. what does phase one mean? i'll tell you. the noncritical retail stores can open. lululem lululemon, banana republic. manufacturing and construction is able to restart. as well as elective surgeries. now, of course gatherings, this is something the governor was very clear on yesterday, gatherings can be no more than five people. here's what the governor had to say in her briefing. >> just do the right thing. know the rules. follow the rules. do not try to outfox the virus. don't try to outrun the virus. don't think you can sneak and not follow the rules and know everything will be okay. we know that's not true. look what happened after pass

joining me nows, cori coffin from times square. what is the light of deal revealing about these protests. >> reporter: it's revealing the amount of arrests. more than 50 last night, 70 the night before. the violence continues. the violence appearing to escalate as protesters tried to get into a precinct in brooklyn. police were able to keep them at bay. they pushed them back. as you just just moments ago, they set an empty police van on fire. the mayor pleading that protesters direct their anger for politicians, not police. >> if you are angry with the government, if you're angry with elected leaders, direct that anger to all of us. because if we haven't done enough, then we, we are the ones that should be held responsible. but the police officer in front of you is a working man or woman just trying to do their job. they did not create the policies. they did not create the pain. >> reporter: now, several police officers did report having injuries yesterday. leg injuries, a lost tooth, that sort of thing. but i want to direct your a

. >>> let's go to cori coffin in times square. the numbers of cases are going down. but the governor is concerned about a potential uptick during this reopening? >> reporter: unfortunately, yes. he thinks it will be an inevitabili inevitability. with the partial reopening, as slow as the state will be moving, he says it's natural that the numbers will go up. that's why there's a two-week lag between phases to monitor the numbers to see how high they get. that's why hospitals have to have the bed capacity and why the contact tracing has to be in place. in case all that happens. the governor hasn't ruled out stopping a phase if the numbers get too high. he said all of this is up to the citizens of new york. >> if people are smart, yes, you'll see some increase in the numbers. but you won't see a spike. but you won't see a spike. you'll see spikes in countries that have opened. you've seen spikes in states that have opened. we have an intelligent, i think the most intelligent system, but it's reliant on what we do. it's reliant on human behavior. be smart and be diligen

senator cory booker, mentioned earlier, he's been helpful as well. we're hoping this latest iteration of relief will be adopted by the senate and the house so that we could expand even further, and obviously lessen the burden on our municipal budget because we are going to experience a significant loss of revenue. >> but do you have any -- like, is the -- it just seems to me there is a universe in which the cdc is in constant contact with your folks and giving them technical assistance or helping with questions they have or providing, like, is that the case or is this just kind of the thing that you're doing in patterson? >> no, credit goes to the men and women who are part of the strike team who have taken it upon themselves to help us combat covid-19. >> wow. a patterson story. the mayor of paterson, new jersey, andre sayegh. i'm so glad you've recovered. impressive what you folks are doing out there. thanks a lot. stay safe. >> thanks, chris. you too. >>> coming up, fascinating new research into how the virus spreads. do packages in the mail pose

it was senator cory booker who called him onto the carpet for the crime bill.o his record has been called into question by his own party. the thing i hear right now from this party, however, crickets. it is quiet as a church mouse right now on the left. i'm tired of hearing people put democrats on a perch when it comes to offensive, racially offensive comments and they hold republicans to a very different standard. at the same time, this administration that has made permanent the funding for historically black colleges and university for the first time in america's history. this administration that is reversed the damages done by the 1994 crime bill was the first step act. the president signed that legislation into law. it was president trump and this administration that decided to work with me and opportunities to bring $75 billion from the private sector into the poorest communities in this nation, closing the wealth gap. so what i'm suggesting here come i would love, love the opportunity to put record versus record because if we do that come african-american

. >> what would you do if you were cory gardener right now?think gardener and others have made their decision. i think they decided they are going to wrap their arms around the because they need the motivated base the show up and better to have the enthusiasm of those who support the president than not. better the bank on a set of voters who you think will be out there voting than trying to get some middle that may never show up. i think cory gardener, others in the same boat, tom tillis, they have made their decision they will stick with the president and run with him. >> it does feel like we're going to have a weird campaign. don donna, what's you biggest fear of campaign with no physical interaction? >> my biggest concern is that people who want to vote should be able to vote. we haven't put the kind of resources at the federal level and attention in the states to how that will play out. majority of americans want to vote by mail but the process for voting by mail is very different. people are not educated about it. i think that we have got

let's go to cory coffee joining me now from new york city. with a welcome to you. as we see your near times square which had more people due to the weather there. but the governor's briefing, he was joined by all of the other governors, why this unprecedents joint effort to team up to try to get more ppe? >> reporter: simply put, alex, because it was an unprecedented emergency and he's looking forward past this point of reopening and saying how do we need to move forward as a state to make sure that this never happens again. and one of the main things is going to be having a 90-day supply of the personal protection equipment but one of the main issues when trying to get that during the crisis was competing with other states. was the price of this ppe. so he said if we bring a consortium together of seven states here in the northeast we'll have more purchasing power, we could bring it altogether, lower the levels of the cost and raise the amount that we keep for those staff up to at least a 90-day supply. and looking ahead, we're joining by new york council speaker
