long for us today from hong kong thanks very much for that joshua thank you. the communist party congress in beijing comes as for the 1st time in 3 decades china has abandoned its annual economic growth targets and doing so aside the coronavirus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the congress premier league chang said china has set a target of creating 9000000 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending in financing to support the economy which contracted by some 7 percent in the 1st quarter of this year. let's take a look now at some of today's coronavirus developments india has seen as biggest single day rise in cases as it begins easing its lock down more than 6000 new infections reported on friday brazil is fast approaching russia to become the world's 2nd biggest infection hotspot behind the u.s. this comes after brazil reported record number of daily from a virus deaths the u.s. has secured about a 3rd of the 1st 1000000000 doses planned for astra zeneca has experimental vaccine by pledging about $1200000000.00 and health care w

i'm not mad at them, joshua. would say wait a minute the judge hasn't decided the case. you can't appeal yet, but instead what this very conservative court did, three federal judges, two appointed by republicans, they told the judge explain yourself. what's going on? and so the concern is they're sending a message to judge sullivan that he should go along with the barr-trump program and just dismiss the charges. and of course the judge wants to know is this in the public interest to dismiss the charges? if so, i will. or is this about the hookup? is this about michael flynn getting a hookup from president trump and bill barr? >> zooming out from the details of this particular case i wonder what you make of this appeals court request to the judge, whether this kind of request is unusual or is it a common procedure that just happens to be happening in an uncommon situation. >> it's extremely unusual for the federal appellate court to go along with this request. so what they're asking the judge to do is to explain h

>> no, joshua.s sort of the same nervous standoff that we've seen for the last couple of hours here. more people continue to arrive. more police from various agencies. i don't know how well you can see behind me. but there's u.s. park police, i believe secret service on the streets. off camera from here, metropolitan police. that's the standard d.c. police department. they all work in conjunction when there are major protests around the city. and i want to be really clear. we're still very much in the protest category here. by and large, this assembly going on since about 4:00 this afternoon, has been largely peaceful. at times, what we have seen and with worryingly increasing frequency lately, are people in the crowd throwing bottles at the police. police officers then coming back out to the barricade to respond to them. it's been a tense situation all day long. there is no real sense of -- of, frankly, leadership here. this is the kind of thing where folks are furious. they are angry. they want to

inflame tensions in territory where protests such and ask the lady in this week we will hear from joshua long the pro-democracy activists who fears the law could spell the end of the city's autonomy also coming up a 2nd day of demonstrations and looting in the u.s. city of minneapolis the rest was sparked by the killing of george floyd and on our black man by police on monday. the bundesliga has its 1st big blooper since the restart did this goalkeeping error cost the country berlin and important victory. i'm sumi so much god it's good to have you with us china is under fire after taking another step to increase its control over hong kong and so do public protest beijing's national people's congress overwhelmingly passed a plan that gives the chinese government the power to impose new restrictions on hong kong pro-democracy advocates say the law violates the freedoms promised under hong kong special one country 2 systems status japan the u.s. britain and other democracies have criticized china's moves. chinese government said the implementation of the security law was for the long term b

. >>> hey there, i'm joshua johnson. good to be with you tonight from nbc news world headquarters in new york. there's a lot less travel going on this memorial day weekend. travel from brazil to the u.s. is about to be cut off out of concern for the spread of covid-19. many americans are laying low this weekend, socially distdista distancing, laying low. others are acting like the pandemic is over. the summer sun in lake geneva, wisconsin, was enough to draw large crowds this weekend. wisconsin's confirmed caseload is rising at an accelerating rate. its death toll is rising steadily. part of a national death toll that could soon reach 100,000 people. it is hard to picture the magnitude of this, but "the new york times" made it a bit easier to see and harder to ignore. this morning's front page bore the names of covid-19 victims from across the country with more pages inside the first section. they had just about 1,000 names in all. about 1% of the people we've lost. >>> it's ease toy see why some folks have abandoned soc

>> well, joshua, first, thanks so much for having me on.re's always room for improvement in any institution. we believe the post office could provide all sorts of expanded services, and that would bring in revenue as well. but overall, we do not think there'sing in to the president's argument. in fact what he's raise would go destabilize the postal service. he's calling for the raising of packaging four to five times. the postal service, right, goes to every address six days a week, sometimes seven, no matter who we are, where we live. that's the universal serviceman date and standard that we all believe in. if package rates were artificially raised, one, it is the customer would be hurt. the post office would be hurt, because 30% of their revenue comes from packages and artificially raising rates would drive the postal service out of that business. but some people would be helped. a few private companies, a few mega donors would be helped along the way. so what's happening now, look, there are some long-run challenges. changing mail habits

>> that's a great question, joshua.ry state deals with these types of negligence arguments that are made and the usual sense is you go to a place and there's a slip and fall because the restaurant didn't maintain it properly. this is a new legal front for business owners and the cdc guidelines we heard dr. patel talk about, those are the baseline, safe harbor things that business owners should be doing if they're trying to insulate themselves from liability. but the standard applied from a legal perspective is, would a reasonably prudent person do the following safeguards, and so we heard, for example, in florida that you're supposed to open up to 25% capacity for your inside restaurant. but if you have a business owner that gets aggressive and wants to open up to 50%, then he or she may expose themselves to liability if somebody gets sick. let's be honest here. if you have a 14 day incubation period from a legal standpoint it's going to be difficult to prove that the actual infection point was at that particular busine

take over the territory allegation china denies hong kong activist joshua long told e.w. the law if passed could result in more arrests of both hong kong and foreign nationals and both being put on trial in mainland china we'll have more from joshua wong in a moment 1st this report. to paris after a 2 month delay china's political event of the year is now underway she's here some $3000.00 delegates from across the country have gathered for the national congress in beijing details on a controversial bill that would ban treason subversion and sedition in hong kong are expected soon china's premier vowed to uphold the one china 2 systems policy but stressed that change is necessary likud shaam said beijing will establish sound legal systems and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security in the 2 special administrative region and see that the governments of the regions fulfill their constitutional responsibilities. but there are fears that the new law could reignite the pro-democracy protests that crippled hong kong last year . residents fear that their special

further inflame tensions in the territory where protests have to ask later this week we'll hear from joshua wong a proto monkey see activist who fears the law could spell the end of the city's autonomy. also coming up the u.s. death toll from code 1000 tops 100000 amid criticism that the trumpet ministration could have acted earlier and say thousands of lives. plus the bundesliga has its 1st blooper since to restart did this goalkeeping era construct a berlin and important victory. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us china has taken another step to increase its control over hong kong and subdue public protest beijing's national people's congress overwhelmingly passed a plan that gives the chinese government the power to impose new restrictions on hong kong that controversial national security law will bypass the territory's own ruling legislature pro-democracy advocates say the law violates the freedoms promised under hong kong's special one country 2 systems status. and the chinese government said the implementation of the security law was for the long term benefit of hong k

there has been no provocation joshua. there was nothing that happened whatsoever, the police pulled into this intersection unprovoked right into the middle of the crowd, split the crowd, started firing in both directions. they now have fired at us. is anyone here yet. the gentleman next to us got hit. and that is what has happened. this is the first interaction we have seen tonight with the police. those are police with national guard, they continue to move. >> guys, put your masks on, the gas is coming in now. and that's what the situation is. they have -- unclear what their intentions are. whether they're standing or moving in. >> i'm going to shoot at this guy. >> they're going to shoot. >> what are they going to shoot? >> they're going to shoot you? >> no. >> do we need to come back to you in a minute. let me give you a second to catch your breath. you do what you need to do. let me talk through what we're looking at now. based on where they are now, the crowd ali velshi was with they look like they're near the avenue

joshua, here in l.a.y we have seen the worst of the city but we're also seeing the best of the city. people from all over coming to help with the clean up. >> erin, super quick question. any idea of why certain places were targeted? where you are is about a mile and a half from paramount pictures. some of the protesting is near cbs city. is there a link there, or do we know? >> reporter: at this point we do not know why protesters targeted certain locations. we know a peaceful protest started in this area. >>> a group of students in minnesota want action on policing. they are demanding their schools cut ties with the minneapolis police department. student body president wrote the mpd has demonstrated that black bodies are expendable to them. man was murdered. it's our job as on a institution to exert whatever pressure to keep our students safe and demand justice in our city and state. unquote. in response, the u of m announced it will limit clab rati -- collaboration with the police from now on. >> thank

joshua moon or search fellow at the university of sussex welcome to you all joshua i'll start with you 1st if i may any evidence that these apps work i'm thinking of the ones they've been trying using already in south korea and singapore for example . well to some extent there is some evidence that these apps are useful in enabling contact tracing i think south korea and singapore are good examples for how these apps could work but the important factor of both south koreans in the bull's examples is that they have both been supported by very intensive human contact tracing programs and so there is little evidence that they work on their own and would require quite extensive all from human contact trace in to be able to work in other contexts michael these ups much use on their own or does it does it need a whole package of measures oh so many as a whole package of measures firstly. in our particular protocols which are other protocols and way to grapple a proposal for the focus on based we assume that you have grokked as a tester. that's the 1st thing you can't notify someone if they a

>>> i'm joshua johnson in new york. good to be with you today as we hear more from states on rekindling their economies and as we hear from barack obama. if there was any doubt as to what the former president really thinks of president trump, we may have just heard those thoughts in obama's own words. we'll get to that later in the hour. we are focused on coronavirus across america. nearly every state is reopening for business this weekend in some way, easing their stay-at-home restrictions. many of us desperately need to get back to work. the labor department says unemployment is at nearly 15%. that is the highest level since world war ii. businesses are under tremendous pressure to reopen. workers are feeling the pressure too, especially with so many unanswered questions. will they be fired if they refuse to go back to work? will they lose their unemployment? if they do go back on the job, will they be safe? our experts will help us think through the answers to those critical questions. our correspondents across the c

inflame tensions in the territory where protests have been escalating in recent days we will hear from joshua long a pro-democracy leader fears the law could spell the end of the city's autonomy also coming up the u.s. death toll from code 19 crosses the 100000 mark amid criticism of the trumpet ministration could have acted earlier and saved thousands of law. plus the jury is still out on whether it really works but these south african farmers say warmed would help against the spanish flu that they can help to beat the coronavirus. i'm sumi so what's going to thank you for joining us china has taken another step to increase its control over hong kong and to subdue public protest beijing's national people's congress overwhelmingly passed a plan giving the chinese government the power to begin imposing new restrictions on hong kong the controversial national security law will bypass the territories in the ruling legislature pro-democracy advocates say the land violates the freedom promised under hong kong special one country 2 systems status. while the chinese government said the implementatio

joshua?>> i've been on a few winery tours and i don't think that having to bring my own glass would dissuade me from showing up. as long as the wine is it in, i think we'll be okay. thank you. >>> let's talk about the paycheck protection program. new guidelines for that program might provide some relief for small companies that are struggling to survive during the coronavirus crisis. the small business administration has announceded they will not investigate loan that's are smaller than $2 million. will not investigate. now at first businesses had to certify that they made the loan request in good faith. many were concerned they would not be able to adequately prove that they needed that money to stay afloat. but with just over $100 billion left in the ppp, there is still not much transparency about which companies are getting those funds. joining us now to discuss it is julian ma julian malvoux. julian, i wonder how this situation could but end up with significant fraud in the system. we pre

i'm joshua johnson in new york. it's good to be with you today nor anoth for another trip across america. the nation is opening for business, at least partly. more than 20 states have launched some form of a reopening strategy. some are moving quickly, others more deliberately. the u.s. has more than 65,000 covid-19 deaths and more than 1.1 million confirmed cases. our reporters are spread out acro across america to show the cities and towns taking their first steps to returning to normal. in texas, restaurants, malls, and mu view theaters are open at a quarter of their capacities. an executive order from governor greg abbott allowed this as of yesterday. texas has more than 30,000 confirmed cases and nearly 900 known deaths. economies across the country are starting to let shops reopen. that presents new risks of contracting covid-19. it also escalates the fight over balancing business and commerce with health in high-risk areas. according to "the houston chronicle," a new analysis by zip code shows most of houston

and alexei into this is well joshua landis i'll start with you in a home. a bus and made the point that the tried to sort of quiet and run me down not shutting down his face but i mean the fact that he went public like that in the 1st place i found quite interesting to go and make these public facebook posts and publicly decry what's happening to him knowing what could happen as a result i agree with much that december said but i don't think this is a real sign of bashar as weakness i think bashar is consolidating his power after a successful you know civil war was successful as for the wrong war but he's ended up on top of the heap and he's trying to read gathered the reins of power into his hands and as we know during this terribly brutal civil war centralized power was decentralized lots of little militias so forth around the country and what he's doing now is he's gathering those reins back in his hands he's consolidating power and one of the things he wanted to do was clip the wings of his cousin who had become too big for his britches and we've seen t

joshua? >> i'm guessing we are expecting, monica, that the tone of what we hear from president obama may evolve as we get closer to november. i mean this was kind of a sideways reference to the president and we know exactly who he was talking about, a sideways reference during a commencement address, that came as kind of a surprise. no one knew that he was going to mention donald trump at all. even obliquely, during last night's program. is the strategy to kind of ramp up as we get closer to november? i mean if he wanted to come out swinging, he could have just called him for an interview. by the way my number is -- sorry, go ahead. why do it this way? >> i'm sure he knows how to get in touch with you for that, j h joshua. i think what is really remarkable the way president obama decided to deliver the remarks, it was absolutely calculated and they knew that an inspirational venue, like a commencement special, they could have the young people taking away whatever message they wanted to and sp

long for us today from hong kong thanks very much for that joshua thank you. well communist party congress comes as were the very 1st time in 3 decades china has abandoned its annual economic growth targets and doing so inside the coronavirus and global uncertainty in his annual work report to the gathering premier league chang said china has set a target of creating $9000000.00 new urban jobs he also promised to increase spending in financing to support the economy the economy directed by 7 per cent in the 1st quarter of this year alone. clifford tune in from v.w. businesses with us now he's covered the national people's congress for 14 years in a row and he's never seen one like this one good morning to clifford clifford why has kind of decided not to issue its annual report well i think one of the things that we're seeing this year that in stark contrast to previous years is we've never had so many variables that there you've got the pandemic you've got on certainties about trade china is in some extent further ahead coming out of the pandemic than other co

francesca, welcome. >> thank you, joshua.having me. >> we mentioned the president's been vocal about his hesitation to wear a mask. we've seen him recently out in public without one. how much do you think this is actually political in a deeper sense, as opposed to the president just being obstinate? >> oh, it goes real deep with this president. if he wore a mask or his vice president wore a mask, they would have to admit that the virus is real. and think of the stock market. so that's a difficult hurdle to get over. now we're seeing the ramifications of that. within the white house itself. but it's so interesting to me the way that it also displays this false masculinity, right? like that they're just trying to exemplify some sort of machismo, as if they think "mask" is short for "emasculate." if you're a tough guy, you're not going to get sick, but other people will. and again, americans are following suit. we know the fish rots from the head down, as they say. so people are taking after the president's bad example. and of c

. >>> hey there, i'm joshua johnson and nbc world headquarters in new york. good to be with you tonight as some americans are getting ready f for work tomorrow. the u.s. has more than 1.1 million confirmed cases and more than 67,000 known deaths. still, many states have begun to jump start their economies. by tomorrow, 33 states will have some businesses reopening. every state and territory is waiting for treatments or vaccines to help us feel safer getting back to work. president trump is pushing hard for this revival, partly because the economy is key to his re-election strategy. a new report from the "washington post" details 34 days of this pandemic. according to the post, the president desperately tried to get us back to business without building the public health infrastructure that experts have been clamoring for. texas is among the states ending lockdowns, movie theaters were able to reopen as of friday, the day before, texas reported its highest single day death toll. >>> reactions to this appear mixed, according to the latest dallas news poll, half

>> well, that's a good question, joshua. i think the president is certainly focused on seeing this country reopened and he's been focused on that for sometime. took some controversy because it's easy to forget now. weeks and weeks a go he was saying let's get the country open by easter. that, of course, wasn't possible because the virus was still spreading. and the virus is still spreading now, so the question is will the states follow the guidance that the president's coronavirus task force has put forward in terms of staged openings? and how will that affect the economy and how will that affect him politically going forward? >> shawna, the post quoted a senior administration official as saying the doctors and scientists advising the administration had, and the officials' words, a bit of a god complex. this person went on to say these advisors are, quote, science, science, science, which is good, but sometimes there is less of a consideration of politics than maybe there should be, unquote. there is a real tension between k

>>> i'm joshua johnson at nbc news world headquarters in new york. thank you for being with us tonight for our second hour on msnbc. the u.s. has 1.3 million confirmed cases of coronavirus. more than 79,000 americans have died. the numbers continue to rise even as states continue to open up. >> the people of our country should think of themselves as warriors, our country has to open. >> i'm viewing our great citizens of this country to a certain extent and a large extent as warriors. they're warriors. the people of our country are warriors. and i'm looking at it -- i'm not saying anything is perfect, and yes, will some people be affected yes? will some people be affected badly, yes. we have to get our country open. i call these people washiers, and i'm actually calling them the nation warriors, we can't keep our country closed down for years. >> but the white house is clearly not immune from coronavirus. the president has tested negative, but at least two people inside the white house have tested positive. this week we learned the president's persona

>> hi, joshua. by doing what they have always done, which is track what you do, where you go, and what you're likely to do next, mention t mention the who you've been around. the concept of contact tracing has been understand by epidemiologists, you have a human investigator go through your past, you've been in a place, you got sick, they find out what flights were you on, who did you have dinner with last week, what bus line do you take to your job, by doing so they're supposed to go back to find your contacts that either might have given at you virus or you might have given it to. the problem is, here in california, one estimate is that a county contact tracer is expected to be able to do the contacts of at most maybe two people a day. that is not enough for the number of people we're going to have to trace to get through this thing. and so wales is tech good at? it's good at scale. on the assumption that most people have phones, apple and google have come together among many, many other companies

but joshua johnson, what's your take on this as far as biden is concerned?viously very briefly, i think it's going to be after what we saw this weekend, it's what the running mate represents, particularly with african-american voters. we know health care, the economy, and law enforcement are huge issues. after this weekend, law enforcement, if not law enforcement reform, is going to matter a great deal. i wouldn't be surprise fd you started hearing bernie sanders talking about the convention and saying, you know, these delegates i have, if we're going to have a unified platform, i think we need to talk more about law enforcement. some of these people on the list may have a little more credibility than others to talk about reforming law enforcement instead of just improving it. dwling that's going to matter a lot. >> well, i'm curious, val demings, you're a floridian, you followed her a little bit. the knock on her is going to be, you know, we haven't had a member of congress go directly to the presidency or the vice presidency in over 100 years, i think even

joshua johnson, i want to pause it there.we have former vice president joe biden standing by live from wilmington. i want to bring in my nbc news colleague craig melvin who has got this interview with the former vice president. craig, i hand the baton to you. >> hey, chuck. thank you so much. chuck, stand by if you can. i think we've got the vice president ready for us in wilmington. >> you do. i can hear you, craig. thank you. >> good evening to you. thank you so much for your time, sir. let's just start with the news of the day. of course as you know, the officer who had his knee on george floyd's neck for almost nine minutes charged with third-degree murder, charged with manslaughter, of floyd's family, indicating that they would have preferred a first-degree murder charge. do you think that justice has been served? >> well, it is not finished yet. we'll see what happens. look, i'm not going to make -- the fact that he was charged with murder and was charged with manslaughter as well as a minimum of what should have been d

. >> joshua, delighted to be with you and happy mother's day to everybody out there. >> how is your district doing right now? your district runs north from the dc border up to the pennsylvania state line. how is it going there? >> it's montgomery county, frederick county, carol county, and well, people have been hanging tough. we have thousands of people who have the disease. we've lost a lot of people. we had an outbreak at a nursing home in my district. so it's fairly reflective of what's going to on around the country, and the numbers are not declining yet. so the idea of reopening i think is anath ma to everybody around here. when the white house found out they had two stop staffers to coronavirus, what they said is everything is going to be okay because we are doing daily tests

and was this the moment the bundesliga title slips through dortmund fingers joshua kimmage and find munich are celebrating after knocking what could be a decisive victory. i'm told me a lot of oh thanks for joining us millions of children around the world are facing a surge in violence forced labor and early marriage during the coronavirus crisis that's the warning of the leading children's aid organization world vision in a new report it estimates that lockdown measures put in place to protect people are actually putting vulnerable children at greater risk schools out in ivory coast this was mark since then hundreds of millions of pointing to run the world have been lost to. new classrooms. no playgrounds and nowhere to run. charities are warning that the very measures meant to protect them could see them fall victim to violence. like 12 year old could be in bangladesh whose father is out of work. that hits us if we ask for more food he is frustrated and angry. it's hard to concentrate because i'm hungry. i have headaches and sometimes feel dizzy. everything around me seems clary. across

joshua, it is great to have you with us.hy don't you just lay out the landscape for us during this pandemic. how has russia been affected as we hear about 10,000 new infections in the last 24 hours? >> sure. the trajectorory come as mucuchf you outlineded in your introduction, throughout march, russia looked like itt had -- he did have a relatatively low n nr of att least officially recognized cases at a a time w n cases wewere spikingng in much f eueurope andnd beginnining to sn the u.s., new york especially. russia had a few hunundred case. it looked like either russia was going to get a a delayed -- the national level epidemic in russiaia would come with some delay or maybe russia might avoid the worst effects of the pandemic, as we have seen in someme countries in central l ad eastern europe. a momoh and c change later,r, ss the answer is pretty clear. russia just was a bit slower in dealing with were facing the full brunt of thisis pandemimict it is facing it quite dramaticalally with the statists youu laid out inin the

it's not known when joshua will be released, but he is improving.eep thinking that mother's day is sunday. >> ( sighs ) it's hard... to be with my son, but i couldn't imagine my life without my child. so, i'm grateful. >> reporter: doctors say while parents should be aware, this illness is rare. now, cbs news has learned that the c.d.c. is investigating it. the agency also warned that we could see outbreaks of diseases like the measles, because as children shelter at home, fewer are getting vaccinated. norah. >> o'donnell: we are praying for lagwena and her son. thank you. tonight, eric bright is speaking out for the first time because he says the country is wasting time to develop a national plan to save lives from covid-19. bright recently led barda. y created to agency created to defend the country against outbreaks, and he says he was removed from his job for putting science over politics and he filed a whistleblower complaint earlier this week. and today, a federal agency found reasonable grounds to lilieve that the administration was retaliati

joshua joining us from the national institute of mental health. here to take your questions about mental health and issues related during the pandemic. for those of you in the eastern and central time zone (202) 748-8000. (202) 748-8001 in the mountain and pacific time zones. (202) 748-8002 if you are a mental health professional. in about 15 minutes we will go to the house of representatives for their pro forma session and continue on with our conversation with dr. gordon on this topic. of, you mentioned the idea telehealth and telemedicine. i read an article yesterday about apps offering those types of services. would you put those in the same category of telemedicine or telehealth? dr. gordon: they are within the category of what we might call remote health care delivery or assistance in delivering health care remotely. digital apps have taken off in the last several years in the mental health space. while there is plenty of evidence they can be outstanding adjuncts to a mental health treatment delivered by professionals, there are a lot of con

i'm joshua johnson. it's good to be with you on this mother's day. maybe you're planning to fly home and see mom next year after coronavirus is hopefully under control. that flight could be very different than your last trip home. we'll have details come up. >>> we'll answer more of your questions including on the latest economic news. please do keep those questions coming. you might have more questions than ever after several key white house pictures painted a bleak picture of our financial future. some predicted unemployment could go as high as 25%. no one wants that to happen. every one wants to stay safe from covid-19. president trump remains focused on reopening the economy even without widespread testing. a key republican senator says you can't have one would you tell us the other. >> if you take a test and you know that you don't have covid-19, and you know that everybody around you took a test that same day, you're going to have enough confidence to go back to work and back to school. >> confidence is mixed across america today. normally rest

as joshua and karen trying to wash their hands of them.very eloquently highlighted, the guidance has been changed halfway through, goalposts have been moved. it is not enough for government ministers to wax lyrical daily about the commonwealth and the wonderful relationship they have. these individuals who came to the uk and some, by the way, victoria, have lived here for decades, lived, worked and paid taxes here, and made an immense contribution to our community and society, it is at this very point that they have gone on holiday and now deserve to be brought back. has the government learned nothing from the windrush scandal? is this another windrush? in essence it is, because if those individuals have an indian or pakistani passport or a european union passport, if they had been living here as i mentioned, sometimes for decades on end, just because of the colour of their passport if they are permanent british residents then they deserve the very best from our government, they need to be looked after, they cannot be abandoned because the

>> reporter: joshua, i'm here on the atlantic city boardwalk and people are scared. this is the time these businesses should be gearing up for summer. right now they don't know when they can reopen. you've got 20 million people in the last month on unemployment, and yes that's an unprecedented number, but the real issue is when can we get back to business? the demand is still there somewhat because businesses would love to be opened, i would love to shop there. their biggest concern right now, can they make their way back? you've got big box stores that are open, a wal-mart, a target, a lowes that aren't just selling essential goods. you can go there and buy a board game, a boogie board and that divide that the bigger could get bigger after this and the smaller could get smaller might even go away. >> that's nbc's business correspondent stephanie ruhle. and let's stick with the economy and bring in heather long a correspondent for "the washington post." heather, welcome. >> hi. >> president trump has steadfastly said the u.s. economy will bounce back better than ever

>> joshua, as representative j.a.re mentioned, most businesses aren't going to reopen unless they know they can keep customers safe, customers aren't going to want to walk-through those doors if they don't feel safe. you have restaurants that are implementing things like reservation only systems. they're putting in pay stations at each table so that eliminates that final interaction between the customer and waitress. markers are being put on the ground to denote how far people need to stand in order not to be in the way of shoppers. limiting the amount of people that can get on elevators. in texas, we're seeing something else, there are some businesses that have decided not to reopen, there are a number of malls in the area continuing to offer curbside service, the same with restaurants offering pickup to go. even though museums and churches have the option to reopen. a number of them say they're not ready to do that just yet. >> what are residents -- >> the younger generation, they didn't even identify with safety, r
