in gallup. there's the gallup indian health center, medical center, and they've got acute care beds and critical care beds, their after-care sites that we developed in gallup and rehobeth. rehobeth is a private rural hospital that has long been troubled and is now under direct management and support by the state of new mexico, and i feel very confident that the men and women who are on the front lines, providing incredible care, are getting what they need, they're amazing. and part of our plan in new mexico all along has been to move patients to hospitals in albuquerque, santa fe, and in areas where you've got much higher percentages to serve the population, in critical care, acute care, and icu settings. and so that's always been part of our plan. and you're right, some days we were seeing two patients transferred an hour from the northwestern part of the state. so what is going on? what is going on is the navajo nation, and we sounded the alarm to the white house, months ago, about the impact

from gallup, new mexico, dr.riram shamasunder, a leading a -- he is leading a medical volunteer group of 21 nurses and doctors from the university of california, san francisco, where he is anan associate professssof medicine to the native american reservation near gallup. he is the cofounder of the heal initiative which has worked across nine countntries, inclclg navajo natation, since 2 2015 promoting health equity. and joining us from winslow, arizona, dr. michelle tom is a member of the navajo nation, and a family physician treating covid-19 patients at the winslow indian health care center andd little colorado medical center in northern arizona near the navajo reservation. she was a basketball star in college at arizona state university. welcome both of you to democracy now! dr. tom, let's begin with you. you work in the clinic where you were born. as you listen to valentntina ststory, a 28-year-old navajo woman who suddenly died after being diagnosed with covid 19, your response? can you put it in the contex

the people from gallup, gallup is esteemed, and original stance on polling which is much more about thebeliefs of americans versus counting toward the presidential election. mohamed younis has important insight. what i see so tangible across the media and the headlines of the newspapers as there is a raging battle about get back to work, etc., etc., and the is peopled the tone want to stay in lockdown until it is safe. what does gallup perceive? mohamed: we asked that specific question and i will jump to that now. if all asked americans restrictions were removed from local or federal government, would you go back to your normal activities now? 21% of americans would be ready to go right away, 36% will wait for the number of new cases in their state to decline, 31% say after there are no new cases in their state, and 12% say they will wait until after a vaccine is developed. there has not and a lot of movement on those items. there has been an 8% increase in people saying they are ready to go back to work. there is an important partisan divide. -- of her cub fans republicans are ready to

the mayor of gallup joins me right now. good to see you, mayor. was the lockdown successful?ell -- we're hoping it still will show up in the, on the -- in future days, put it that way, but right now we're very disappointed that our numbers are still getting higher and higher on a daily basis. >> hmm. and why do you think that is? >> well, our next step basically is to encourage everybody to wear masks. you know, maybe just not doing the five or six feet apart. you know, all we can do it get peel to follow the wears. the next thing we're going to do, ask that everybody wear masks definitely in essential businesses. supermarkets and stuff, but we're doing everything we can basically to cut those numbers down. >> and one of the reasons you requested this lockdown in your first days in office was to prevent people from surrounding areas coming in to gallup to shop. do you think gallup is ready to begin reopening? are you ready to have those visitors again? >> well, at this point we have no choice. i can give you the background as to the reason why woe decided e to it. we have two

the mayor of gallup raises the subject of testing. we said at the top of the broadcast tonight the white house can now claim the very best testing and contact tracing in all of the land. what is boston doing on making sure that if you live in southie or beacon hill you can get a test on demand? >> well, let me start by congratulating the mayor and complimenting him on doing some incredible work of keeping his residents safe. i think a lot of us have to make -- take drastic measures, and i commend him for it. in the city of boston, what we're doing is we have 21 locations around the city now for testing, and our goal is to get to 1,500 tests per day. we're not there yet, but it's something that we want to be able to do. we have about 10,700-plus cases of coronavirus in the city of boston as of today. we have 496 people who have lost their life. so we're dealing with quite a bit of virus here in boston, in massachusetts. we're number three in the country for positive cases, and we're number three in the country for deaths. so we really

what do you think gave it a foothold in gallup?e don't know, but we've got to do something and doing something is better than doing nothing. we could have sat back and tried to figure, watch it, but this is a plan we thought we'd come up with now. >> we've seen protests and threats in some communities when people are trying to take these drastic measures. i'm just curious how this lockdown has been received in gallup. >> well, you know, to me, it seems a lot of people are just not taking it serious. we still see some of the stores where some of the supermarkets and people are still walking around without masks, and to me, that leads me to believe they're not taking it seriously enough. myself, i mean, i've had three occasions where i came close. myself and my son-in-law came in contact with people positive. we quarantined ourselves and had ourselves tested. fortunately, we're all three of us came up negative. but i don't think a lot of people have had that exposure or closeness to them that make them realize how serious it is. >> y

with new mexico at all gallup is in the upper part of northwestern corner of the state it is now next to arizona and neck near the navajo nation also and so the governor has essentially said that nonessential travel will not be permitted and you're not allowed to be on the roads or travel to and from the city while of gallup at this time it's it's not just bizarre you have to start to ask the question rick i mean how much of this is unconstitutional to the point where just because we're in a pandemic you know the u.s. constitution does not disappear and the ability for a leader to declare something just because you're the governor of a state you do not have absolute authority to declare that people can't travel in and out of the city that is locked down or shut down i get the i think 20000 people live there and a 1000 of them have the virus a proportionate number have died so it is a little weird and the governor is using something of a law in the books that allows him to shut out of town if there's a riot but this is not a riot. it's not a right absolutely not and the other thing is

. >> reporter: well, the town of gallup, new mexico, is about 22,000 people west of albuquerque. it is a remote area where medical facilities have been taxed thin for the last few weeks. this is a community with -- even though a population of 22,000, has more than a thousand coronavirus cases and those cases have jumped by more than 200 in just the last few days. because of that, the mayor and the governor have now essentially put the city of gallup, new mexico, on lockdown starting at noon mountain time today. residents will be required to stay in their homes. only allowed out for essential and emergency visits. people traveling in cars can only have two people in a car at any given time and all businesses must be closed down from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. this emergency order goes into effect today. and, kate, lasted until monday. so it is just from friday to monday where this is being done. but this is because, again, the city of gallup, new mexico, accounts for about 30% of the coronavirus cases in the entire state of new mexico. as i mentioned, there is a great deal of conce

gallup is the navajo nation, with confirmed cases of 3,000 with 100 deaths. the doctor on that border town is now helping the navajo. with us is the president of the navajo nation, jonathan iz. thank you for joining us. you just heard sara sidner talk about the sioux issues in south dakota. whether are you now that the lockdown has been lifted? there agreement with the governor and political leadership, or do you have issues? >> thank you for having us on the show, john. we totally support the south dakot dakota-ogallala sioux nation. he has a strong support for his citizens and to help take care of his people there. i appreciate all the 574 tribal leaders throughout the country that are standing on their sovereign ability to help govern themselves and help keep their people safe. we also appreciate other governmental entities like the city mayors of gallup and farmington, border towns around our nation. we are in three states, john. one, i want to say thank you to our governor in arizona for, you know, assisting and also the governor of new mexico and the go

why not keep it here where we can keep it under control. >> gallup's mayor says the lockdown is going to end tomorrow, but the governor could extend it. >>> as states relax restrictions, there is a new warning that covid cases and deaths will only get worse across a big part of the country. nbc's kathy park has this report. >> reporter: tonight troubling new data from the world health organization. the u.s. marks its deadliest 24 hours last week with more than 2900 lives lost to covid-19. >> the number of deaths that accrue on daily basis tell you what was happening maybe three or four weeks ago in terms of new infection. we're going to see deaths continue to rise, even as the epidemic starts to peak and decline. >> reporter: the former fda commissioner warning that when you take the new york tri-state out of the equation, the spread is more persistent. >> there is about 20 states with a number of new cases on a daily basis is increasing, and the actual overall trend nationally is toward more hospitalizations and more new cases. >> reporter: the death toll in michigan now topping 4,00

again, that was from gallup. it was released yesterday and there's more information when it comes to the topic of reopening states and top officials it's anthony fauci who is going to testify today before the senate at 10:00. he was quoted as saying in news reports leading up to this by "the new york times," the major message that i wish to convey to the senate committee tomorrow is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely, if we skip over the checkpoints in the guideline, it will not only result in needless suffering and death and will set us back in the quest to return to normal. that was in the interview he conducted with them. you can see more of that at that hearing if you want to follow along. again, it's c-span3 if you want to do that, or follow along at c-span.org and you saw the poll results when it comes to the topic of testing that came up at the white house with the president talking about efforts, financial efforts to states to deal with their testing capacity. >> to further expand our na

according to this gallup survey americans experienced unprecedented levels of where he in march but thats since dropped 12 percentage points to 47%. meantime happiness is increased by 5 points to 72%. folks on social media not necessarily surprised by this, you mean people are happier not being confined to their homes. never would have guessed. larry chiming and saying funny how opening the country will do that to people. the way people feel during this pandemic goes down gender, economic and party lines, democrats reported less happiness, more worry, loneliness, then republicans did. >> some nfl practice facilities can open today. i'm intrigued by the league testing in 95 maskss but don't understand how they are going to breathe well. >> nfl teams can begin reopening their facilities of state and local governments will allow it, teams have to abide by a certain set of rules like no more than 75 staff numbers on site, no coaching staff inside facilities and you can see the rest of them on your screen. like you said players always wear face masks during games, they might look different th

stuart: i'm sure you saw that gallup poll, 49% approval for the president, the highest ever in gallups. i'm sure you don't want to ignore that poll entirely, either. >> look, i think at the end of the day, obviously the election still, we've got six months to go. the president is focused right now to ensure we are able to flatten the curve which we have successfully done as well as ensure that we are able to get the economy going again. he gave a very bold prediction which is that we will see the economy roaring again beginning of next year, 2021. it has been because the federal government has injected the $3 trillion into our economy, ensuring that first of all, that americans receive immediate relief and at the same time, that small businesses are able to survive during this difficult time by allowing for these small business loans through the paycheck protection program. all very proactive actions that the president has taken to ensure that the american people and our companies and our small businesses are able to get back on their feet quickly while we deal with this artificial in

congress registering an approval rating of 30% in the latest gallup poll. >>> well, joining us tonightity leader kevin mccarthy. congressman, great to have you with us, and it is strange to see the senate back in the nation's capital but the house not. >> yeah. the house should be working. i mean, with the house not working, that only gives nancy pelosi more power and gives china a pass. you know, when you do not plan, you actually plan to fail, and that's what's happening here. that's why we laid out, as republicans, a plan to open congress back up. it's more than just opening a campus. this is restoring the voice of every american that their government needs to be working during this critical time. we could bring committees back to do that critical work on those bills that can be bicameral, could actually become law, not political like national defense, the water resources bill. we should be doing appropriations and oversight should be studying the world health organization because of what they have been able to do and harm the rest of the world in this process. lou: well, i presume

roads closed off in the city of gallup tonight. why? they're not even doing that in albuquerque or santa fe. the rest of the state. why that city? governor michelle luhan grisham made the call and she is here to provide you a window into the reality of reopening. next. you doing okay? yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that's you? the truck adds 10 pounds. in the arms. -okay... transfer your service online in a few easy steps. now that's simple, easy, awesome. transfer your service in minutes, making moving with xfinity a breeze. visit xfinity.com/moving today. >>> hey, just a quick thing. a lot of you are saying that this is still a little confusing. let me say, maybe, in a more simple way. a vaccine prevents the virus from ever taking root in your body. a cure stops the virus once it has taken root in your body. so that's why having a va

greg, when i was going to ask about was the poll numbers that say gallup has 58% of americans sayingre yes when it comes to completely isolating themselves, a harris poll has 60% saying that if we go with a quick response, they fear the virus will spread. so it's like yeah, there are some loud people who are in the minority but most americans seem to be worried about protecting themselves and their families. >> greg: all right, once again you are presenting the prison of two ideas in the sense of the questioning being flawed. any time you frame a question with a negative in it, people are going to go for the positive. would you like to go back early and potentially die? oh, no. so that means you'd rather stay indefinitely. the questions are framed in a way to get the answer. i would not call those people a few loud people. they are people that actually want to get back to work. they are adults. they should be allowed the chance. a gallup poll, i love this poll that found americans are happier than they have bent over the past year. this is interesting because it speaks to the america

most new cases in the country per capita, number one, sioux city, iowa, number two, gallup, new mexico, number three, grand island, nebraska, number four, pine bluff, arkansas. number five, marion, ohio. number six, waterloo, cedar falls, iowa. that's where the american coronavirus epidemic is the worst right now. and growing the fastest. taking off like a rocket ship. and no, that's not, those aren't american metropolises. that's just regular hometown heartland america where this thing is now growing the fastest and you can see these kind of patterns in the local press before you can necessarily see them in the confirmed data. in the texas panhandle today, local officials invited in the federal government, to please come help with a surge of coronavirus cases, tied to meat packing plants in the texas panhandle. in moore county texas, there is a huge jbs meat processing plant that as of a week ago had over 150 million infections but they don't stay in the plant, they don't stay in the county where the plant is, dependsing how people are traveling to and from the workplace. it turns out

in mckinley county in gallup, new mexico, they're adjacent to the navajo nation. navajo nation has a per capita death rate from coronavirus that is higher than almost every other state in the country. doctors without borders, the nobel prize winning international relief organization has now sent in a team to try to help the navajo nation, which is great of doctors without borders, and they freaking know what they're doing. but it is astonishing, it is distressing that that's what's needed in the united states of america, right? the indian health service is part of the federal government. it's under hhs and secretary alex s alex azar. right now they're getting bailed out by international humanitarian groups that do this stuff in third-world countries because our government can't do it. the federal government also, i should mention, appears to be the problem in the other major outbreak that is now afflicting the great state of new mexico. the state's governor, michelle lujan grisham, is rip roaring mad now about 65 cases that have just emerged at a private detention

navajo nation. >> i'm like, well, we live in gallup. it's not going to come here. >> reporter: navajo nurse kelly manuelito treated the first covid positive patient to arrive at rehoboth mckinley christian health care services. she works in the intensive care unit. >> a lot of native families there are at least five or six to eight to 10 people living in one household. and it's really disheartening to see that it can spread so easily. >> reporter: the staff of the i.c.u. was overwhelmed when they saw a spike in covid patients in late april, tied to an outbreak among the homeless population. >> it's definitely scary. i don't know one single worker who is not scared to come up. we've been working extra hours, extra days, and it's just been it's been really rough. >> reporter: manuelito says she's been able to take a break in recent days. the new mexico governor lifted a week-long lockdown after fewer cases were recently reported. but the tollas been devastating on native peoples in new mexico. they account for 50% of covid 19 deaths, near

now fear a return of the tarot and i say sion according to a survey by a us research consultancy gallup almost. half of all afghan women would leave the country if they could have a summer determined to fight for their rights at home. working out his guys who yardies wife beating stress attacks occur on an almost daily basis in kabul where she lives it's a city in a constant state of emergency. guys yari works for afghanistan's government in the muslim countries male dominated society she's a woman in a position of leadership. and she's surrounded by a lot of toxicology she says. she comes to the gym to one wind. living in their conflict zone in a country that is struggling so much in different layers i think if a strong woman who are men who are leading do not take care of themselves mental lies at the center of physical what is the thing they will not be capable of leading and managing their work. yari heads up an all male team whose job it is to reform the civil service the team investigates complaints relating to issues such as the awarding of positions and the sluggish bureaucracy.

weekly jobless claims keep rising and rising with roughly $30000000.00 of them in the last 6 weeks gallup poll shows that one in 7 americans would avoid seeking medical treatments if they had some key symptoms of coded 19 fever and dry cough because they're afraid of medical costs. and it gets worse when framed explicitly is believing to have been affected by the novel coronavirus 9 percent still report that they would avoid seeking care adults under 30 nonwhites those with a high school education or less and those in households with incomes under $40000.00 per year how the group is most likely to indicate they would avoid seeking out cat the crisis in the economy is taking on the identity of its own i would argue and it's not just now being driven by what's happening with the virus slowdown that was really quite obvious in the us in advanced economies you could see it in the commodity producing economies especially oil that was already slowing down the price was already decrying you could see the global trade which was barely growing global g.d.p. that was slowing so you know the process

winston churchill similarly obtuse way ate like much of us do on occasion and drank too much, got gallup. i think they are things that we look at as human and say i kind of like that guy doesn't do the things that i do produce normal. >> host: nick adams you also mentioned that the times were similar. >> guest: the book certainly right now with what we are going through with the invisible enemy to turn a phrase that president trump elected to use to put on the coronavirus. again we saw new york mayor bill de blasio come out recently and accused the president of peddling false optimism with respect to the coronavirus. a lot of that is similar. churchill was on the outside and donald trump is clearly on the inside. >> host: what does that mean? >> guest: churchill of course was fighting the axis powers and becoming tyranny that would take away her foreign enemy and in many ways donald trump is a cultural fighter in a cultural war of a battle for values. he of course does have some foreign enemies as well such as china and iran and others. north korea brought really i think most people see

he's teaming up with groups and doing rounds at this hotel in gallup, new mexico where the unshelteredk can go to get off the street and away from extended families. >> the headache's bothering you? >> yeah. >> any blurry vision? no. >> reporter: historically, the u.s. government hasn't helped much. breaking dozens of promises with native-american tribes, and congress has approved $8 billion for travel assistance, but that money has to be split amongst 574 tribes. but navajo president says receiving those funds is complicated. >> sometimes it goes through the federal agencies before it gets to the tribe or goes through the state before it gets to the tribe. we're using that same process and we have to wait. we have to submit for these fundings, but the need is now. >> reporter: it's estimated about 30% of the people who live on the navajo reservation do not have access to running water, which is why they use pumps like this. and that makes the constant hand washing necessary during a covid-19 outbreak that much more difficult. since early march, grassroots groups have worked to provide

leadership, we have been taking care of patients, unsheltered patients, 125 of them, across four hotels in gallup, new mexico and the navajo nation has done an amazing job getting all of those patients into hotels the last few weeks. and then i think a lot of the facilities that we're in, they're seeing a tremendous amount of covid cases and you're really seeing this clinical hustle from our navajo colleagues that have been facing this for the last several weeks, and now even in the last two weeks, the surge is really upon us. >> so as we saw, a little bit of leveling here, in the bay area, that's when you guys left over there, why was it that the navajo nation was so badly impacted and why they've had struck such a strong surge? is it the lack of medical infrastructure, is it the close proximity, in which the nation lives, because of the culture, or what did you find? >> i think this is a part of this story of racism in the united states, that covid-19 has really laid bare. for example, in michigan, we know that black folks only make up 14% of the population but are 40% of the deaths, and in chi
