mask. you go out much in portland? if you do, what do you see about other people wearing a mask? caller: most people now are wearing masks wherever you go in most grocery stores demand that you wear a mask. but most people wear to the grocery store. host: we will let you go there. thanks for calling. one of the people commenting on face masks -- the governor of ohio spoke about it sunday. >> i keep talking to the people in the state of ohio and they did a great job for two months keeping their distance. now we are at a different phase as we open up so not only do we have to wash our hands and keep a distance but now we are asking everyone out in public to wear a mask. there is a recent review done by 17 different think studies that had been done in regard to masks. they are very effective in stopping these droplets. we put them out when we talk and when we sneeze and do other things. depend on how well all of us do. i have great confidence in ohioans. we are promoting wearing the mask and k

-made masks. we were -- masks. we were wrong. in november of 2007, we received a phone call from barda asking for a tour of our mask factory. barda was acting on george w. bush's presidential directive 21, the purpose of which was to review america's disaster plans. brenda hayden with barda gave a presentation which showed that barda was concerned about the foreign-controlled mask supply. we were thrilled that barda had discovered the issue - until discovered the issue, until brenda said that barda was only charged with studying the problem. we were disappointed, but took consolation in the fact that finally a federal agency knew that the mask supply was in danger. we were happy to have an ally. two years later, i received a call from brenda hayden. she started the conversation by have a situation." her serious tone caused me to asked her if she was talking about a pandemic, and she said yes. she asked if we could ramp up production, and i said yes. we built more machines, bought an abandoned kimberly clark mask factory, and trip

where the mask. -- where ski the mask. the mask. when somebody out here in the world is honest about where's this going. can you hear me? host: what do you mean? caller: it may not be name of mandatory may not be on the books, but you are endangering the lives of people. inyou put people's lives danger, what will come from that ? eventually you will have people being arrested. i have seen people passed up for not having a mask on at the bus stop. this witchhunt thing being cooked up. brenda in georgia. go ahead. caller: good morning. i am going to say it is political. floridaaveling to because i go from florida to georgia. i went before memorial weekend. the people in florida, i promise you, are not wearing masks like they should. fathoms me is you get in the, you have the signs on floor for six feet apart. these people come up on you and you turn around and they do not have a mask peered i can understand not wearing a mask because i cannot hardly breathe, but when you have the president well listen to the doctors. and that is why t

masks cost less now, my masks cost less now than masks cost 30 years ago. you can buy two class-2 medical device, surgical masks, for less than a gumball. the fact that china can make them for two cents or sell them for two cents, let's ignore that it's not real. and it's a threat to national security. >> last question, if i may, and you've alluded to this again. nice to have a stockpile, but stockpile is not the total answer for what you and larry were just talking about. what role does the federal government in setting up maybe platform that businesses could use when times are tough? in other words it's not worth your while to set up this platform prork deuce for a couple of months an then try to shut it down, unemployee people. what role could the federal government have, we face this with drugs. the chairwoman is in very adamant concern that all our active ingredients are made in china or india. that's not a healthy situation either, especially right now. what is the role, what's the public-private partnership to stand up a platform that could be activa

if he's not wearing a mask, i'm not going to wear a mask.f he's not worried, i'm not worried. >> reporter: the president? >> yes, sir. >> joining us now is governor mike dewine, governor of ohio where deaths just crossed the 2000 mark. governor, thanks for being with us. i know how busy you are. you've been a vocal proponent for wearing masks. it's something you try to enforce and had to kind of back off it and leave it up to people's good sense of judgment and care for their fellow citizens. when you hear that young man say he's not wearing a mask because the president isn't wearing a mask, obviously the president, all the people around the president are wearing masks, so he is not wearing a mask because i guess he feels he doesn't have to. what do you say to people in your state to try to get them to wear masks? >> well, i say that they should wear a mask. and first of all, anderson, one thing i think we have going for us, this past weekend was the first weekend that our restaurants were open inside and that our bars were open inside. i go

he won't wear a mask in front of the cameras.sn't want to be photographed or seen wearing a mask. >> reporter: wolf, i think it tells you something significant about donald trump. donald trump is a person governed by his impulses. when he's in political trouble as he's in right now, his impulse is to play cards that are oriented towards his political base. so, within his base, it's become a culture war symbol of resistance to lockdown to refuse to wear a mask. we all seen the videos on social media, people sailing no, free country. let's get back to business, i'm not wearing a mask. the second part is i don't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. another part of that culture war is i don't give in to the press. they want me to apologize and change my behavior, i won't do that. the president can't resist those impulse when they're adverse to his own reasons. if you properly view the mask wearing, it's not a symbol of resistance to opening up the economy, it's a ticket to open up the economy in a sustainable way. people

they are longing for the rallies. >> mask or no mask? >> we can't have a rally with an empty stadium. in other words, you maybe able to pull it off baseball or football. or boxing or basketball. you can't pull off a rally with -- it wouldn't work out well. hopefully we can do rallies in the last couple months. maybe the last couple months we can do rallies in various states. >> i misspoke. he said it again and again. you can do virtual rallies, by the way. it's possible. it's not reality. 25,000 people crowded together for hours. shouting and screaming. irresponsible to be thinking about that any time soon. honestly. any time soon. i have to tell you to be quite honest with you, i have a really nice note from a lady who asked me -- i have gotten a couple. the beginning of the show, why do you take so many pauses and talk so slow. because, this is the gods honest truth. because i'm not just reading things off a teleprompter. i'm thinking about what i'm saying. and i want to make sure that what i'm saying is correct and factual. and there'

let's talk about masks. a long time, masks have been a required accessory for trying to get into an "eyes wide shut" orgy. by the way the secret pass word is: "i'm here for the orgy, 1." now, when the coronavirus pandemic began, the c.d.c. said people didn't need to wear masks unless they were showing symptoms. but a couple of weeks ago, they changed their mind after realizing that if everyone wore masks in public, it could stop people from spreading the disease. also, they ran a series of tests and realized that, "damn, people are ugly." now, this all seems reasonable enough. everyone just needs to wear a mask when they're going to be outside around other people. but, apparently, it's not that simple. >> reporter: in the city of stillwater, oklahoma, an emergency proclamation requiring the use of face masks in stores and restaurants was amended after reports employees were being verbally abused and threatened with violence for trying to enforce the order. >> reporter: in miami beach, one park is now shut do

here's what happened. >> you mentioned the mask, that you wore a mask yesterday. president trump went to a memorial day service. he did not wear a mask. not just some people making fun of you. he did. he did on twitter. tweeted a photo of you wearing it. he's trying to belittle you for wearing a max, making it seem like it's a sign of weakness. is it? >> he's a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. i mean, every leading doc in the world is saying you should wear a mask when you're in a crowd. and especially when you know you're going to be in a position where you know you're going to inadvertently get closer than 12 feet to somebody. i know we're 12 feet apart. i get that. but it's just absolutely -- this macho stuff for a guy -- i shouldn't get going. but it just is -- it costs people's lives. it's costing people's lives. and like i said, we're almost 100,000 dead today. 100,000 people. columbia study is showing that we could have -- if we'd just started a week earlier we would have saved thousands of lives. i mean, this is a tragedy. >> but wearing a mask has

they should be wearing a mask. i think it's really good that these three doctors are quarantining themselves. i think it sets a good example and reminds people what you have to do and what significant numbers of people will have to do as we start to do significant contact tracing. these conversations about masks, no masks, the testing, i think some of this is going to seem, in a few weeks, wolf, trivial, kind of like when we first started talking about people should be physically distancing outside. people were really reluctant and a couple weeks later it became obviously the norman peop, and understood it. if you wear a mask, it will decrease the likelihood you will spread the virus. weep know that vir we know the virus is in the white house now. we don't have a vaccine. we don't have an effective therapeutic. so we need to do what we know to do as best as we can do it. and wearing a mask is part of it. we'll ho we'll look back on this conversation in a few weeks, wolf, and say i can't believe we had to have that

i did put a mask on. >> had you effective are masks. how effective would it be if the president modelled that behavior and actually encouraged more americans to wear them? >> you know, we are getting increasing evidence about just how much of an impact masks are making. and also some evidence of the fact that most americans do want to wear masks at least some of the time. so like what we are seeing with the president there, who should be wearing a mask was told by bill ford at the ford motor company there that he should wear a mask and decided not to -- most americans are still, you know, they understand the importance of this. i think it is worth pointing out, wolf, that you know, the president may have had an exposure at the white house because there is people who tested positive at the white house. and three of his top public health officials not only are wearing masks but are in some form of quarantine as a result of that exposure. very different approach there is. obviously, the public health official are the ones who i think we ne

masks work. that's why health care workers didn't have the same rate of infection as we expected given they are surrounded by the virus in hospitals and stuff like that. they can work. i have worn a mask since i started training 30 years ago. masks are part of my life. it's weird to see something like that become to politicized. >> we have seen a major change on how twitter treats tweets from the president. for the first time an icon has been added -- it says get the facts about mail-in ballots. pretty extraordinary development after a year of false tweets. >> it's twitter making annest at least to start fact checking some of these things that are not true. california isn't mailing ballots to every person in the state of california. it is mailing ballots to people who are registered voters. this is a small step, a very good step. the question is what are they going to do about the president's calls for a murder investigation into a tv host with unsubstantiated rumor, conspiracy theories, whatever

. >> no mask. it was -- it was shocking because as he was leaving the white house today, i -- maybe it's not shocking, but as he left the white house today, he said, well, if the policy is to wear a mask, i'll wear a mask. then he got to this honeywell facility. i was in the tv pool working on behalf of all the networks feeding back information. i saw a sign right in front of me that said masks are required at this facility. not only did the president not wear a mask, the chief of the of staff, the national security adviser, the new press secretary kayleigh mcenany did not wear a mask. we were told by a white house official that honeywell officials told them that masks were not required of them. but, don, this was -- this was a case where the president could have led by example and said, you know what, if these people are going to wear masks today -- and keep in mind, they were not only wearing masks on the assembly floor, they were making masks. >> they were making masks. >> then perhaps the presi

a mask. also putting himself into quarantine this weekend for 14 days, the head of the cdc, dr. robert redfield. he, dr. fauchi and the head of the food and drug administration, dr. steven hahn, all after coming into contact with people at the white house who learned this week they have tested positive for the coronavirus. despite this urgent new development that the potentially deadly virus is now detected inside the white house, take a look at this. the president gathered with his top military officials today for a meeting inside the white house cabinet room. a bit more than normal distancing around the table, but no mask worn by any of them, not on the president or any of the generals or admirals. let's go straight to the white house where jeremy diamond is with us three very important health officials, their organizations, the top officials in some form quarantining now for 14 days starting immediately. there's a sense of urgency i assume inside the white house tonight, or is it simply be

and they need to be in masks. it would really concern me to see, especially elderly people who often use houses of worship as their communities, coming to these places and not seeing everyone else in masks. >> okay. some really good information. thank you so much, dr. walensky and dr. ranney. i appreciate it as always. ladies, i hope you have a nice rest of the weekend. >>> up next, the president spending his memorial day weekend away from home as well. he is back at one of his golf courses, his first time since march. >>> plus, for all of you longing for sports, basketball could soon return. what we are hearing about the nba's plans next. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." hey mama, what's up? i only see one price on my phone bill. you're on t-mobile, taxes and fees are included. why can't all my bills be like this? i don't know mama. umph! with t-mobile, taxes and fees are included. and when you switch your family, get 4 lines of unlimited for just $35 a line. you know when your dog is itching for an outing... o

versus no mask.s is a, i would say, senseless dividing line. if someone is wearing a mask, they're not doing it to represent what political party they're in or what candidates they support. they might be doing it because they have got a 5-year-old child who's been going through cancer treatments. >> still, the issue is becoming a flash point in some places around the country leading to confrontations that have even cost lives. cnn's brian todd has more. >> reporter: a confrontation over wearing masks gets deadly at a family dollar store in michigan. three people charged with killing a security guard, who police say had asked a customer to wear a state-mandated face mask. it's unclear if the three defendants have entered pleas. the guard's uncle couldn't make sense of it. >> my nephew lost his life trying to help save lives. >> reporter: at this waffle house in aurora, colorado, police say a man threatened a cook who refused to serve him because he wasn't wearing a mask. police say the man returned la

you wear a mask to protect other people. >> it's also just so easy to wear a mask is the other thing that people have noted. so this has ban pretty big fight inside the white house because of the optics here. everyone saw what happened when the vice president went to the mayo clinic, despite it being their policy. there was this weird back and forth, the president saying he didn't picture himself wearing one. you see him thereic spooing with reporters. >> who are you with? >> i'm carol king with cbs. >> good, good, very good. >> my question to you is this. because of all the ventilators being made here and your own efforts to manufacture hydroxychloroquine, we now know we have enough manufacturing going on for the time being as far as ventilators goes. you said we think we have enough to share with other countries. >> yes. >> my question to you, sir, looking six months from now, a year from now, how many more, how much do we need to. [ inaudible ] >> we were just talking about it. we have a very big stockpile right now. we're building it bigger and we're helping a lot of other countr

if somebody coughs, it can get on my mask and, yes, it can penetrate through the mask. but, it is also going to keep me from touching something and touching my nose and my mouth, which is a very common thing for us to do. there are a couple of different reasons for wearing a cloth mask. the n95, absolutely. those are meant to be for health-care workers who are working in close proximity to patients with known covid. i don't wear an n95 mask and i go to patients rooms with covid on a regular basis. what i don't do is intubate patients. i don't put the breathing tubes down their throat. likeot working with them our respiratory therapists are, having them cough and doing breathing treatments. that clearly makes the droplets virus into thehe air for them to get exposed. i see covid patients on a regular basis, and i wear a surgical mask. i'm comfortable but that keeps me protected, along with the eye shield. host: this is chris in florida. caller: good morning. of course, you're not going to like my follow-up to this woman's follow-up, because i am on her page. -- actually,

to wear a mask in public. and then the virus spikes. and then people die. so i really believe that the president's refusal to wear a mask in public has cost many lives. i think he's responsible for deaths when he doesn't wear a mask. >> is not jay >> sanjay, it's a pretty powerful thing dr. reiner just said. he didn't wear a mask on that michigan trip where anyone could see him. he didn't wear one as he met with african-american leaders. others in the room at that point weren't wearing masks either. we presume they got the test before they were around him, which has a double-digit false negative rate. the president then walked around the factory with no mask on. he said he was tested and the people around him were tested. but again, these rapid tests we know there could be inaccuracy of what, up to 15%? >> even higher than that according to some studies. and as you'll see in those images the people around him were tested and what are they doing? they're still wearing a mask. and i should point out that three o

we don't wear masks to protect ourselves. we wear masks to protect the people around us. right?e are part of a community. you know, in -- in iowa last week when the vice president visited iowa, they -- the vice president's people suggested that the panelists can take off their masks. they were wearing the masks to protect the vice president. we wear masks to protect each other and that's the essential message. >> i see what you're saying. i get what you're saying. it's just stunning to me and there's always an excuse. there's always an excuse. well, he's the president. of course he's going to take precautions that -- well, if the president gets it, that's one person and we don't -- we certainly don't want the president to come down with coronavirus. but if the people around you get it, that means another person get it is and another person is exposed and another person may be exposed and so on and so forth. it may be more important for -- that other people don't get it instead of one person, you understand? every life is valuable. every life is equal, whether you're the presiden

face masks.ping us healthy and letting us pretend we're all shredder. >> i'll get you, ninja turtles! >> trevor: most people have gotten the message that even simple masks can slow the spread of coronavirus. in fact, in the u.s., a nice 69% of americans saying they now wear masks when they leave the house. well, now there's some new research confirming just how effective masks can actually be. >> and one of the best ways to protect yourself and others from getting covid-19 is to wear a mask. a new study out of hong kong shows coronavirus transmission rates drop by 75% when surgical masks are used. researchers used hamsters. masks draped over the cages of infected hamsters dropped infection to 17%. hamsters who still got infected, despite having a mask barrier, had less of the virus in their bodies compared to hamsters without masks. >> trevor: yeah, according to this eye-opening-- and, frankly, adorable, study-- masks drop transmission rates of the coronavirus by 75%. and while this is a great st

people should be wearing masks.oes, themandating problem is if you have a mandate it has to be enforced in some ways. to enforce it it has to require some kind of course of effort with the state. public health requires cooperation of people because it is made up of two things. the public and health. if they don't see it as important to their health they will not comply as much. then you get the natural resistance and protest. that is also detrimental. the main thing that needs to happen is proper public health messaging. wearing a mask will not necessarily be mandated but onessary if we will protect another in the community. we are only in this together if we are moving in the same direction. ed, in melville, new york. go ahead. live -- i live in a metropolitan area in the northeast. we all want to get back to work. how will that be possible when the majority of us take pack commuter trains and subways? guest: that is one of the enduring questions for the pandemic and any future pandemic or epidemic. the public tran

i have, like, three of those masks in my closet right now. it's dust masks. you want to say something, "yeah, i'll be done in 10 minutes." now, even though most americans are wearing masks, many still refuse, yeah. and confrontations between maskers and anti-maskers have been going viral. and the latest one may be the best yet. you see, a las vegas patriot tried to shame a costco employee who told him that he needs to wear a mask in the store. and things did not go the way he expected. >> reporter: a costco employee in las vegas is being praised for standing his ground and denying a customer who refused to put on a mask. >> hi, everyone. i work for costco, and i'm asking this member to put on a mask because that is our company policy. so either wear the mask-- >> and i'm not doing it because i woke up in a free country. >> have a great day. >> so you're going to take this cart from me? >> sir, have a great day. >> full stop. >> you are no longer welcome here in our warehouse. you need to leave. thank you very much. >> here, you put it on. i'll give you my car

i also had a 3m masks and i had about four other mask.

i know the n95 masks are the gold standard. do paper masks all compare? mask works in two ways. it prevents something outside getting intimate, and it also me, and it alsoo prevents anything i might have getting out to you. the simple cloth and surgical masks that are worn work principally to prevent me giving you anything. they provide modest protection going the other way. the main reason we are wearing these masks, the cloth masks and , issurgical masks now because we know many people with this covid virus infection can be without symptoms. and so, that means i could be perfectly healthy as i am now, but the infected am never know it. so i am close to you, i protect you by wearing the mask. the reverse is also true. you sound very healthy. if you wear the mask, but even though you are infected, by wearing the mask, you are preventing me getting the infection. bible to of us wearing the mask, we are protecting each other. that is the whole concept. if you we -- if we all wear masks, we will be protecting each other and reducing the way this virus is transmitted. host: dr. will

versus no mask.his is i would say a senseless dividing line. if someone is wearing a mask they're not doing it to represent what political party to be in or what candidates they support. they might be doing it because they've got a 5-year-old child who's been going through cancer treatments. >> still, the issue has led to confrontations across the country as some businesses try to enforce mask usage. in some case the outcome has cost lives. here is cnn's brian todd. >> a confrontation over wearing masks gets deadly at a family dollar store in michigan, three people charged with killing a security guard who police say asked a customer to wear a state mandated facemask. it is unclear if the three defendants have entered pleas. the guard's uncle couldn't make sense of it. >> my nephew lost his life trying to help save lives. >> reporter: at this waffle house in aurora, colorado police say a man threatened a cook who refused to serve him because he wasn't wearing a mask. police sate man returned later we

not many people wearing masks but that's okay because the city was not require people to wear masks at city parks. all right, across the country. houses of worship owe opened after president trump declared them essential. and the concerns about social distancing are growing. nbc's jennifer johnson reports from washington. >> as millions of americans crowd boardwalks, bars and beaches this memorial day weekend, a stark reminder of the covid-19 pandemic. a list of 1 00,000 victims' names on the new york times front page. and americans want too get out to celebrate summer. >> there is a need to contain the virus and people's desire to get out of their houses. >> adds americans gather shoulder to shoulder, asymptom t -- asymptomatic people are spreading the virus. >> you can't no social distance, you must wear a mask. >> they are trying to override any governor. >> they are in parking lots and cars and the windows closed and people are being arrested in it's a disgrace. >> already, a federal appeals court has upheld california's decision to keep churches closed. >> today, the new york prof

put them in uninfected with masks and another without a mask.act transmission rates jumped by 75%. also, the attitude is cultural, with or without the science. here in hong kong there was trauma from the 2003 sars outbreak and they were terrified. i was here then. it's a no-brainer here to wear a mask. it's almost seen as a civic responsibility. there have have only been four deaths since the pandemic started. here in the united states you have the added political layer so that does complicate the conversation whether or not to wear masks, craig. >> tesa, thank you so much for that and helping us sort of make sense of this mask debate that continues to rage on in our country. >>> roughly 15 minutes from now we're told president trump is set to leave the white house. he will make his way to michigan. and that is going to do it for me this hour. i will see you back here tomorrow. but "andrea mitchell reports" is next. all right, let's do it. yeah. (laughing) puberty means personal space. so sports clothes sit around growing odors. that's why we gr

masks. >> they were making masks. >> they were wearing masks as they were making masks. perhaps the president should have done that as well. instead he was wearing goggles. don, i didn't understand why he was wearing goggles, not a mask. this is how they've been running the coronavirus response since the beginning, and that is they don't always -- well, they don't really lead by example all that often and it does leave people sort of shaking their head and wondering what's going on here. i will tell you, i did ask the president at one point whether he will get a coronavirus vaccine. that was part of our q & a with the president earlier in the day and he said, well, if the doctors tell me, i'll do whatever they say. but when the president says i'll get a coronavirus vaccine, it's hard to take that to the bank when earlier just today he said i'll wear a mask if they want me to and then he doesn't wear a mask. >> but goggles. okay. maybe next time a hard hat. who knows. thank you, jim. appreciate it. >>> coming up, more details on why the official leading the search for a c

wear a mask. this reminds me in some ways of the education campaign we learned about the hiv virus and transmission of hiv. i remember how many times and how long we had to talk to people about wearing a froef lactic and how it could make the difference between life an death. the mask can make a difference between life and death. i know it's a small thing. it's dim min muss, doesn't look like much. if it's primarily airborne, you know the mask works. how do you know the mask works? first responders have a lower infection rate than the general populati population. nurses, doctors in emergency rooms have a lower infection rate than the general population. how can that possibly be? because they wear the mask, and they do the hand sanitizing. you feel out of control, you can't protect yourself, can't protect your family? yes, you can. that's what the mask does. you want to be in control of yourself, you want to greatly increase your odds, wear the mask. by the way, not just asking you. the mask is man

okay, two lives, wear a mask. what's the harm? there is no down side to wearing a mask. except for a political point that the president is grasping on to that frankly is just giving his opponents fire to -- it fuels their fire that he is -- >> and remember, he was in such fear that he could have contracted it from someone, he was taking hydroxychloroquine, and people tested around him, and he was not wearing a mask around them. thank you all, vf, and next, a new model by the cdc expects hospitalizations to go up in less tlan two weeks. cases are spiking in parts of the country and breaking news in minneapolis. the national guard has been activated. crowds are building again following the death of george floyd, and 1 in 4 americans are out of work since the coronavirus outbreak began. >> what has the virus done to your industry? >> nobody's working right now. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from anyone else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist. nothing stronger. nothing gentler. nothing lasts longer. flonase sensimist. 24 hour non-drowsy allergy

wear a mask. wear a mask. that is the basic step, right? social distance, you can't -- if you can't socially distance, you are in new york city, you're going to walk up next to a person, wear a mask. it's not the most attractive garment ever created. so what? well i don't like -- it feels uncomfortable, unnatural. so what? you want to honor the health-care workers and the people who literally gave their lives in some cases for what they did here? act responsibly. wear a mask. i know the weather is getting warmer and i know people want to get out of their house. fine. wear a mask and socially distance. that is your social responsibility in the middle of this overall pandemic. when we talk about new yorkers together and this spirit of unity and how people are helping one another and how tough we are and how smart we are and how disciplined we are and how we love one another -- show it. you know how you show love? by wearing a mask. please. questions? >> when you talked about a different strain being here coming from europe, is it a more deadl

i'll wear my mask. so, i went there, kind of drove through the parking lot -- this was about 2:00 in the afternoon. i out of about 30 people i saw probably, one person wearing a mask. then i thought i'm not even going to bother going into the store. this doesn't look like a safe place to visit. i thought i'll get up in the morning. so, i went this morning at 6:00 in the morning to go there. none of the employees are wearing masks at all. i went to load my mulch in my car. i respectfully asked the person that met me out there, i said i'll load my own trying to indicate that i wanted to social distance while i was wearing a mask. that person was not wearing a mask. they insisted on helping me load the car, did not respect my social distancing at all. now, a caveat, in addition to that whole thing is i happen to work in the hospital where we have covid patients. and the thing that i do see this -- and this is what's kind of the part that's so frustrating to me -- is that people don't seem to understand tha

the president goes to a factory that makes masks and refused to wear masks. that's exactly what we don't want the public to do if they are released from the shelter in place if we are going to do it safely. we had about 2,000 deaths in the last 24 hours. that's a lot of people dying in the united states. and a lot of people getting sick. we need the president and the vice president put out the guidelines and follow it. >> the chief of operations, the top admiral at the u.s. navy wiwas with him at the white house meeting yesterday. even though he tested negative, he was in contact with a family member testing positive. he's clearly doing the right thing as far as the cdc guidelines are concerned, right? >> you bet as anthony fauci and steven haun. they are following the guidelines. none of this is easy. nobody wants to stay home. we had millions of americans losing their jobs and they are desperate to get back to work. they don't want to threaten their own lives and family lives and neighbors and relatives. we are on this very tricky balance. if you are in con

but if it is a mask environment. >> it is a mask environment. they make masks.nt a statement saying this, a small group of individuals directly interfacing with the president on tuesday, were tested for covid-19 and received negative test results and were permitted to not wear masks during portions of the visit based on medical screening. as the president made his way to arizona the state recorded its highest daily death toll so far at 33 fatalities. with plans for barbers and salons to reopen on this friday. joining me once again, managing editor of "the washington examiner" jay caruso. let's talk about this mask-gate, shall we call it. you have the president not wearing a mask at a facility that makes masks. last week, you had vice president mike pence not wearing a mask at a facility that also requires the wearing and usage of masks. this is an optic situation, this is a messaging situation for the american people when you're protecting those by not wearing a mask and you're not doing it yourself, jay. >> i don't think anyone has asked the president -- you pr

they make masks. who would think of honeywell making a mask? that's what they are making now come up masks. it's a very high tech company. they make dashboards of airplanes and many other things and now they are making masks. our country is geared up so quickly and so fast. honeywell opened up in three weeks for literally zero opening making mask in three weeks. there has never been done like this since the end of world war ii. >> you set a number of weeks ago, we can't let that cure or become worse than the disease. >> president trump: i think i was the first want to say it. when you say i was the first one -- but you can't let they cure become worse than the problem itself. >> barely? >> president trump: i think the governors have to start opening up. we know the disease. we know the weaknesses and the strengths. know that older people are affected greatly. and younger people are not affected greatly, frankly. you look at the statistics, it's incredible. and we know that we have to protect some people much more so. a lot of the governors have

masks are not required here.ocial distancing is, and that's what we're seeing out here on the beach. ana? >> rosa flores, thank you for that look. we'll have much more on the coronavirus pandemic, but there's another developing story out of hong kong, where thousands of protesters took to the streets today. we will tell you what they are demanding and the national security implications for the u.s., next. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." don't go anywhere. to everyone navigating these uncertain times... whether you're caring for your family at home or those at work, principal is by your side. we're working hard to answer your questions. like helping you understand what the recently passed economic package can mean for you. we're more than a financial company. we're a "together we can get through anything" company. now, more than ever. to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you th

the masks work. ed lavandera, thank you. >>> i want to go back to some of the jaw-dropping images from across the country this weekend, thousands of americans tempted by warmer weather and seemingly forgetting the past couple of months and ignoring the nearly 100,000 deaths and counting and disregarding advice about social distancing and wearing masks. so, what does this signal for the weeks and months ahead? with us now is the president of the american medical association, dr. patrice harris and dr. f. perry wilson and social professor at medicine at yale university school of medicine. dr. harris, these images we are seeing across the country of people crowded together, a lot of people not wearing masks. are these possible outbreaks just waiting to happen? >> well, we know that masks do help, as dr. birx said this morning, the science is clear. and so, if people do not wear a mask, if people decide not to stay at least six feet apart and gather in large crowds, there certainly a risk that we will se

but there were a lot of people who didn't wear a mask. and you say a bishop had a mask on.t, then, took it off. >> so some of the people, i think, had masks with them. the bishop, i think, wore one when he -- when he came in. he had an iowa state mask. and, at some point, took it off. and i think part of the issue is that peer pressure is such that, for a lot of people, if everybody else isn't doing it, they, then, don't feel like they should be doing it. or else, you know, the idea that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and people decide, hey, i don't want to look like i'm afraid. and then they take their mask off. one of the things, i think, is a concern is people who really should be wearing a mask are going to feel like, in order to fit in, they need to take it off. and there was actually someone there who -- who had a mask on. an older woman, who had a mask on because she was going to be around other people. and saw that other people weren't wearing it, and then decided to take it off because everybody else had theirs off. so it's -- i think it's important
