sort of a joyous could confidently that later in life you long for my friend just to have sent a polaroid when it's happening because knows it or in the stuff of life like thread my health this is on friday and i'm just like i mean that's just come by so quickly i might go out in another like 10 years are going to be out of the house a comedy that. your family has such so much creativity and it's a way of them exhibit musical artistic chops yeah my my my daughter oh she's a very good piano player and she can like play just from from sounds like she can figure stuff out so she is it she can she get carried away and i think it's pretty cool if you stop because that. no more appropriate name for tickling the ivory of the pearl so it's not that i see a big cheer that. as your mom and dad good. dad doing ok i mean i've barely seen him i think i've you know you know we talk and i've been at the house to like drop off supplies and i like since the window i kind of thing but that doing ok i think it's going stir crazy you know they are both in that kind of danger category you know when i was a ca

it's like a polaroid picture that took two weeks to develop.hat tells us what the infections were two weeks before. deaths are a three or four-week-old picture. without having any sense of how much virus there is in the community, we should not be opening up anything because the virus's only job is to spread. couple that, with the fact that black and brown folks and -- and native folks have been disproportionate disproportionately infected. it's almost as if the governor, in saying we're going to reopen, right now, doesn't care about the lives of black and brown people. it's almost as if we're the canary in the mine. we are the first ones who have been impacted, frankly, because of racism. and racism has structured our lives. put us in certain kind of jobs. not given us the protection. has made us sicker with the chronic diseases. so we're, already, disproportionately impacted. and it's almost as if when people understood that it was mostly -- that black and brown people were being disproportionately impacted, they were like, oh, why are we goi

you're looking at a picture, some in the audience may remember polaroid pictures, you take a picturend it takes a while for the picture to actually show up. that's a good metaphor for what's happening here. between the time someone is exposed to the virus to the time they go to the hospital, a small percentage of them go to the hospital, to the time they sadly die, could be three weeks. if we let up, wolf, then three weeks from now we may see a resurgence of deaths. nobody is suggesting, across the nation, that we let up at this point. the question is will it go into and through may as well, or earlier than that. that's the big question. but everybody knows that you sort of let up at this point the concern is you'll see an increase in cases. >> you have to really err on the side of chaufgs daution. dana, you have interesting reporting about conversations the president is having with his friends on wall street. what are you learning about the pressure the president is under right now to reopen the u.s. economy sooner rather than later? >> a lot of pressure, i'm told by a source family

a doctor i interviewed today said, it's like a polaroid picture, you take the picture from a couple of weeks ago and it's just now coming into focus. the real question is going to be, how did we do over the last two weeks, because that's going to tell us, you know, we'll see the impact of that a couple of weeks from now, jake, between the time someone gets exposed to the time they get diagnosed to the time they get sick, if they're going to get sick, most people won't, thankfully, or won't get that sick. it could be several weeks. so we're lagging a little bit in terms of the numbers. that's expected, but we can't look at that and say that's what america is today. that's what america was two or three weeks ago. >> right, exactly. and let's talk about some really grim statistics. people originally were talking about this as the great equalizer, you can get it if you're rich or poor, old or young. it's not the great equalizer, we see deaths from this virus are disproportionately impacting the african-american community. in louisiana, for example, african-americans make up 33% of the popu

through my right now at least patients know who they're going through hill even if it's just a modest polaroid most derek devolved vaulted to internet fame. the part-time actors handsome photo had people wondering you know, but is the single though joking derek all of a sudden i'm week help me. but this didn't start with coronavirus 5 years ago a california artist was so moved by seeing he bowl of patients that she went to africa and organized photographing medical staff mary beth, heffernan combined heart and art and the patients they love seeing who was inside the suits now some joke about pretending who's inside the suit. anyone out there want to buy my idea for a romcom about a doctor who takes a picture of george clooney on his personal protective equipment. and the covid patient who falls in love with it. >>it's so much s right arm. >>this pediatric emergency physician took it a step further in happening george clooney to get to smile and to give reassurance a 25 jeanne cnn, new york. >>all right coming up next we honor a south bay catering co mrs. walker. michael vasquez! come over here

in mind that whatever we're seeing right now in some ways, as a doctor described to me today, a polaroidicture. at the time you take the picture, it takes awhile to develop it. we're seeing a lagged picture from two or three weeks behind. at first someone has a confirmed infection and a small percentage of those people will need to go to the hospital. and then a smaller percentage may end up succumbing to the illness. so if hospitalizations are going down now, that could suggest that we should see a decrease in deaths thankfully later on, within a couple weeks or so. >> we're going to get more into the models or projections of the virus in a few minutes. there does seem to be some indication at the head of the cdc the number of deaths could ultimately be lower than what the white house had said just recently of anywhere from 100,000 to 240,000. and we know, even when they said that they said the models, as more data comes in, are liable to change. >> you know, i heard dr. redfield's comments about this. there are lots of different models out there as you know, anderson. i wasn't sure whi

she was one of my teachers and graduate schools of the opening chapter i wrote in her class with a polaroid. i begin to develop the understanding of when i was -- and graduate school i remember my mom calling me once because she was like i told grandma who we have a very fraught relationship at one point in the book and she says i told your grandma that you're writing a memoir one day and i'm like [inaudible] and mike what did you say. so i think i've known for a while but then my mom passed away and then i just writing would then be the only thing i could do well. it knocked me low. i would forget to eat and sometimes i forgot to socialize and my friends would call and ask if i had ian and i was like no, i haven't but so the chapters and generated then but i think i was scared to write a memoir. it would be a series of essays, linked essays or you know what it is but i was really intimidated and i sold the book in 2015 and i was like it's a memoir and i've had like hello, blake. i had 100 or so pages of material and i felt confident but even then, you know, i sold this book and i think i'm

>> guest: we are in a very polaroid's country right now. this is another place, sex education is about as polarized as it gets. that's a soft one. i don't know what to do about that. i do feel very strongly, i was so excited to write this book in excited to get out into the world. because i felt like we really do have this opportunity at this moment. when i first started writing about girls, parents of boys would say to me i'm so relieved to have a boy because i don't have to think about these things. and i kinda think really you don't have to think about these things? that was a mentality. that has changed entirely. now parents of boys are so eager to hear about these things, to have these discussions and read a book like this. they too want change and they realize they are tasked with a big challenge of raising a man of integrity in a world that often gives boys a message just the opposite. >> host: i've noticed in recent years particularly with the prevalence and rise of me too, a lot of perspective parents talking about the idea of that

he did not want to polaroids the country any new drip that apart so he knew is the right thing for him to do. i think most historians would agree with that these days. again moving quickly, president nixon wanted to be the tough firm leader. when he was faced with the watergate scandal which is the issue i chose to deal with in nixon he has all the saturn's engine statuses entrance he doesn't adjust to changing circumstances, he perseveres and trying to save his presidency, but not enjoy with the fundamental problems and abuses that the watergate scandal showed. he did not take action until too late. it goes on and on. so, he stonewalls congress, as the houses moving moving to impeach him, he resigns. so is not impeached. but remember the scenes, conceived the pain and pat nixon's face, his wife, as he's announcing he's leaving the white house and the famous photo getting on the helicopters he flies away to go to california. i think this is another case where president does not do wellin a crisis situation. i think initially, if nixon had owned up to what happened in the watergate burg

she left a toy for her daughter, while a corrections officer took polaroids to mark the occasion. >> and how she was treated after death. >> that final resting place has never been as dignified as it should have been. it has never gotten the respect it needed. that certainly needs to change. >> reporter: last december the new york city council transferred control of hart island to the parks department. earlier this month, inmates were replaced by paid landscape workers. many are hopeful that next year hart island will be open as a memorial park, honoring those buried there. >> everybody is human. we're all human. maybe we don't all have money. but we all deserve dignity. so we're taking our science and unleashing it. our research, experts and resources. all in an effort to advance potential therapies and vaccines. other companies and academic institutions are doing the same. the entire global scientific community is working together to beat this thing. and we're using science to help make it happen. because when science wins, we all win. and we're using science to help make it happen
