you have the likes of mayor de blasio saying everything will be reopened while you have the cdc that still will not give guidance saying that you can be part of a bigger group if you have been vaccinated. andrew: absolutely. these will be conflicting goals in some perspective. there is no public health individual that wants to see the economy continue to be shut down. all public health individuals have families, have lives. they want to get back to some semblance of normally -- normalcy. it is a question of the rate at which we do this. when you look at the case numbers, they are falling, but they are at a high level. with vaccination rates slowing down across the u.s., we are a little bit worried that we are going to hit some sort of plateau of vaccinated individuals that is much lower than what we need to really make a major impact on the spread of this fire is. i think that is the real -- on the spread of this virus. i think that is the real area we are conflicted in. how we are pushing to get immunity because that will allow us to open up in a safer way. lisa: how effective are v

but what's happening in new york city is very obvious that mayor de blasio hates cops and it's reallyause it's people who taunt and hurt and kill police officers, you know, there isn't enough justice. so you're also inviting good cops to leave the forest when you have mayors across the country, including in minneapolis, they are the ones who are in charge of the police force, ultimately and when you don't back them up, why would they stay if this is what they are facing? >> harris: it's so true. i want to point to maryland, which over the weekend became the first state to end its police bill of rights. it stripped its officers of protection. >> pete: that's right, not harris. defined the police has created defenseless police officers that are on the streets without protection, simple protection, the same thing happened with qualified immunity in new york city, this is extremely, extremely dangerous and we will see what joe biden says, my expectations are low but he can't do worse than governor walz and what he said about what happened in minneapolis, "another life of a black man taken

. >> to that mayor bill de blasio had this to say. we are going to have all the agencies work together to address these issues. the 65 year-old woman is the latest victim in a wave of asian hate crimes in new york city. the nypd urges new yorkers to step up and get involved, but also be careful. >> police trying to get physical with the assailant. and too often we've seen people pull out their cameras, take video understand that that could be detrimental as well. >> to this, which back here in the west coast. we are taking a live look at the bay area from mount tam cam on this beautiful spring day. yeah. quite warm out there as lawrence. if if you would consider it hot in many places the first time of the year large when it gets real. warm. a kind of feels hot does take all hot. yes, certainly. and we're seeing temperatures. we just haven't seen even along the coastline. these numbers little toasty out there, even toward the beaches. but certainly we're working on a great evening outside beautiful, clear skies, half moon, bay. people

this morning the cdc said cruise lines could begin sailing by july and new york city mayor bill de blasioly reopen on july 1st. it is great to hear these milestones, steph. the question is how to distinguish between the stay-at-home winners like this, which clearly the market is judging as a temporary burst in demand and those that have changed their secular growth pictures potentially, like we saw from a facebook. >> i think that the stay-at-home stocks certainly saw a surge and that's one of the reasons why i think apple is only barely flat on the day after just an enormous number because the comparisons start to get very difficult. how sustainable are those sales that they saw in macs and ipads, that kind of thing so i think you have to be very careful and very specific in terms of which names you want to pick i think you can have a handful of them, absolutely, but i do think you want to balance that out with some of the companies that are about to get a real improvement in operating leverage like vail resorts and marriott and wynn and tjx. all these stocks are really lagging these oth
