protecting ourselves and each other and we are getting back to work, if you couple mask wearing with this new cdc information that is person to person, not on surfaces, if it's not on surfaces that really does help businesses think about okay, maybe we can get people back to working sooner. that's all moving in the right direction, i wouldn't worry so much about what the media is going to say about wearing a mask. if you want people to get back to work give them some encouragement and tell them to wear a mask. >> greg, can you believe now it's not that transmissible with the surface? this is the main thing we heard very early on, that's what people were doing were spraying everything we came into contact with. >> that the person who sleeps a lot of surfaces, i.e. feel a great sense of relief. viruses actually lived on the surface for 18 hours, remember the press ran with that. then it turns out it wasn't to the virus per se, the active component it was the dormant, useless left or part of it. but the media helped push this in a weird way, they pushed organizations like the cdc into a corner. doct

new york a state directive said more than 4,000 patience recovering from covid-19 to nursing homes according to the associated press. governor andrew cuomo reverse that order earlier this month. the state was following cdc the time. more than 5800 coronavirus deaths have been linked to a new york state nursing homes and adult care facilities. bryan llenas reporting outside of queens, new york, ryan. >> trace good afternoon, new york state issued an order requiring nursing homes to accept covid-19 patience discharged from hospitals. that order also prohibited nursing homes from requiring a hospitalized residence be tested for covid-19 before they were allowed into the home. as a result, according to the associated press come over 4300 recovering coronavirus patients were sent into new york nursing homes at the height of this crisis. now long term care facilities, victims families and lawmakers from both sides say the directive from new york governor andrew cuomo accelerated coronavirus outbreaks in these facilities, leading to preventable deaths. governor cuomo eventually reversed the policy may 10th, requiring hospital patients to now test negative be pouring be sent to the nursing homes. he has defende

there's a new cdc report on the key factors that accelerated the spread of the virus in the early daysere in the u.s. some of them, international travel. a look of testing, asymptomatic spreaders. >> there's optimistic news on the treatment of covid-19. the fda giving authorization to extend the drug remdesivir. this is allowing them to treat hospitalized patients in some cases. >> some governors are concerned about holding back on easing restrictions. others are going ahead with it loosening rules in phases, it's clear there's not one single lane or strategy that states are taking to reopen their communities. >> cnn's alison kosik is with us. alison, i know you're looking at some of these different approaches. is there anything that stands out to you? >> reporter: good morning, christi and victor, yes, with the calendar turning from april to may, we are seeing 42 states across the country loosen restrictions. michigan standing out to me. the michigan governor extending the stay-at-home order until may 15th, but she will allow some businesses to open up on may 7th. businesses that she

that is why the cdc also putting out new guidelines for churches to follow as they begin to open this weekend, dana. >> dana: john roberts at the white house, thank you. let's bring in napolitano. so katie mack and any taking questions from reporters got questions about what is the president's legal authority to override the governor and there is a constitutional point and she said it was a hypothetical question but the president raised as a hypothetical issue. he said he would override them. does he have the power to do that? >> again the word no. the president does not have and it's ill-advised as these gubernatorial orders are, as essential as is the right to worship, as sentimental as it is, absolutely protected by the first amendment as it is, the president does not have any authority to override the governors. i will tell you but the president can do. he can't dispatch the department of justice to file lawsuits in federal court and judges can override the governors. but the president on his own, no matter well intended he may be and i believe he's well intended here, is without

people are wondering if this new cdc recommendation is on the up and up. is there a gloved thumb on the scale, and doesn't that sum up what we're living in right now where the cdc, by some, has been cast a little bit as the enemy of a robust economy? >> yeah. brian, i think, you know, you're right. not only am i not a scientist, but i'm not also someone who covers the cdc. so i'll say this, that my journalistic spidey sense with respect to this story and with respect to another story that broke today related to some questions about whether some of the statistics that we've heard about testing might be a little bit hinky. there's a lot of smoke, i think, over at cdc right now that people who do cover that agency, i think, are i'm sure burrowing in in a hard way right now to try to find out about what kinds of political pressure the cdc is coming up against. and to your earlier point, it all fits into a very comfortable matrix for donald trump. this matrix that you referred to and lemire alluded to, which is that he's very comfortable in a place where he can

. >> martha: the new cdc guidelines say a mask and social distancing and hand washing are the most effectivet can be done and not transmitted on surfaces, but i think all of that can be done safely in church. >> i agree with you and bishops certainly as well. thank you. >> martha: one more question for you before i let you go. i just read that communion, they said, if and when communion returns. >> really? >> the guidelines they released -- go ahead. >> martha: you go ahead. >> oh, okay. the guidelines released a few weeks ago by the bishops conference, they gave people the alternative. you can have it the mouth, the hands but we are receiving communion in new orleans so i don't know why they aren't in other places. >> martha: i will come to new orleans to that church. thank you, raymond, that is the story for thursday. thank you, may 21, 2020. we will see you tomorrow night. tucker is up next. have a good night, everybody. ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it has now been 63 days, keeping track since california became the first american state to issue a so-c

according to "politico," the new cdc guidelines provide brief checklists meant to help keep businesses and others operating in public open safely. in a one-page document, the cdc offers decision making tools for schools, workplaces, camps, child care programs, mass transit systems, and bars and restaurants. the "associated press" reported last week the white house previously shelved cdc advice, providing recommendations for safely reopening. willie, when you read them, they equivocate, by the way, and there's always a line that says, "if it's not possible, you don't have to do it," but these recommendations are so basic, we could -- anybody in america could write them, or is practically already living by them. >> yeah. i mean, that reads like a cliffs notes version of the original 63-page document the cdc sent to the white house and said, "hey, can we get some feedback on this?" they were slow walked, slow walked, and now what we have is this very broad, one-page summaries of what you might do if you want to. effectively, like president trump wanted a ee eed and gets leaves everything

cdc. you're supposed to be data driven. if there's bad news in the science, you're supposed to be still willing to tell us the bad news so we can prepare and try to change course. "the new york times" was also first to report today on an internal document inside the trump administration with the cdc's logo on it, a document the cdc is now apparently disavowing, which actually has a worse projection now than the new terrible university of washington projection. in that university of washington model, they're saying by june 1st, less than a month from right now, our daily death toll in this country will be 890 deaths a day. while the other internal projection reported today by "the new york times" says that by june 1st, we won't be at 800-something deaths per day. we'll be at 3,000 deaths per day, which is nearly double what we're at right now. and we'll be there in less than a month. this internal document that has the cdc's logo on it also says that from the 25,000 new cases we're getting each day, we're going to go up to 175,000 new cases a d

new research on the spread of the virus. the cdc has a new report highlighting lack of early testing and other factors. update our viewers. >> february 23 there were 14 confirmed cases in this country. we are now over 1 million. this report looks at what happened between february 24 and the beginning of last week and our public health response to this issue. the idea is if we see what we did, that might form and help what we should be doing now. it is an early look at what might have gone wrong and what could have been done differently in those crucial early days. limited testing, the continued influx of infected travelers from overseas hot spots and cruise ships and large events, a funeral in georgia, marchdi gra in new orleans all fueled the numbers. this from the cdc. apparently flu season made it difficult to detect early clusters into nursing homes, meat packing plants, and places like new york city accelerated transmission. this virus might circulate amongst us for another two years until 60 to 70% of us are infected. >> this

to enter between the cdc and the white house has been growing for weeks. we're also getting new details today on just how big and significant that disconnect is. >> also out today, from the cdc guidelines on how states can reopen safely, something the white house had been holding back for weeks. all 50 states reopened already in some way or another. it is is a milestone in the president's push to reopen the nation at the same time he's defending his use of the unproven malaria drug hydroxychloroquine. this despite multiple studies warning not only it doesn't work, but it has dangers as well, diving into his playbook to discredit a va study calling it phony and a trump enemy statement. reminder the va is the veterans affairs department. a lot to get to, but first let's get to cnn's nick valencia for more on these new cdc guidelines. we have been waiting for them. there have been delays. what do they tell states even as they're already ahead of the game here, reopening already. >> that's right. good morning, jim. we'll get to that in a second. we can't emphasize enough how big of
