And globally cases now topping 4900000 with 325000 reported deaths now here in the United States alone the number of cases now 1500000 with 92000 deaths now taking a closer look at what at what is happening in the nation the c. D. C. Has set guidelines for reopening america only to be shelved by the white house claiming that the guidelines were too specific as a result the c. D. C. Quietly releases a revised shorter version of the guidelines on its website and said now this as all 50 states are in the process of reopening just in time for memorial day and turning over to a state that is gaining some headlines now florida which has thus far been devastated with 2096 deaths while on monday the state started reopening for businesses part of the phase one approach to a new normal but its not without controversy as the Governors Administration is being accused of suppressing critical covert 19 data arties john harvey has more now from miami. Safe smart step by step thats the name of the state of floridas reopening plan with phase one kicking off monday though many cities and counties statewide had already started reopening earlier this month the fact that florida was among several states to start reopening so early certainly fuel the National Debate about how soon was too soon particularly as the number of covert 1000 cases in florida continue to grow currently the state is reporting more than 47000 positive cases as more than 700000 people so far have been task that i was one of the residents who had to cope with 1000 antibodies test recently at this Urgent Care Center in miami beach turned out negative Miami Dade County has had the highest number of covert 1000 cases statewide so theres been a downward trajectory of overall cases so on monday phase one of miami dade the new normal reopening plan went into effect but restaurants barbershops salons and parks reopening with restrictions the city of miami started its phase one reopening stand up miami on wednesday with some parks some businesses allowed to reopen but mayor francisco swara says Restaurants Hotels and beaches in the city would be part of the next reopening phase in another week and that will be contingent upon people practicing the social distancing guidelines and Wearing Masks let me be clear this is not the beginning of the end but it is the end of the beginning there are 2 paths a responsible path that will take us to face to the responsible path which will bring us back to where we started the pandemic has hit miami a city reliant on tourism part with laws like this one and all the big hotels shut down i shot this exclusive video recently from my paddle board on biscayne bay right off the Mandarin Oriental hotel in brickell key which is usually packed this time of year its outdoor event space hosting weddings and business functions instead it was eerily quiet and desolate as florida moves into its reopening phases there are questions about whether or not the 1000 figures are complete the socalled architect of floridas code 1000 tracking web page said she was fired after going public with her. About Florida Department of Health Commitment to accessibility and transparency state Officials Say she was insubordinate but the miami herald and other Media Outlets sued the state over its refusal recently to release data about covert 1000 cases and deaths in Nursing Homes and other Long Term Care facilities still florida is moving forward with reopening and after 2 months of being locked down residents here are going out to enjoy the warm sun perhaps one of the biggest questions now though will the kobe 1000 disease wanted to darken deadly shadow over the Sunshine State in the weeks and months to come for our t. John hardy. And now concerns are being raised as covert 1000. 00 patient data including the names and home addresses of private citizens are being shared with Law Enforcement in several states one of them being tennessee which is why were going to bring in someone born and raised there host of news views you just got to know him as an investigative journalist and cohost of boom bust bounce one scottie good to see you both so ben will start with you so bad considering that we do have these hipaa privacy laws in place here in america how is this even allowed. Well theres a lot of questions about it and one of the things that were finding over and over as we see what states are doing is after a few weeks lawsuits have been filed and a lot of cases of the steps that states have taken the steps of governors have taken are being ruled as unconstitutional this may be an illegal act by some of these states to not only go and to use this Contact Tracing to find out of someone who you know who has tested positive for coded where they live and then to release their information i dont know how that could possibly be legal under hipaa laws but also that track everyone who is in their home and release their information as well again just because a state moves forward and takes an action doesnt mean that action is lawful and federal law prevents you from i did not find people as having a contract with a disease or disclosing their Health Information their personal Health Information and yet when we look at whats happening with these Contact Tracing apps that is exactly whats taking place now the App Companies that are doing it are saying hey were not going to put verifiable information but in the cases of the states youre talking about including tennessee they are putting out that information and its a Law Enforcement seems to be doing it and its interesting because you know back when you had like you know the hiv aids epidemic you know you had all that going on it was the patients had to report it wasnt the other way around but you know scotty could policies like this end up hurting the fight to control and even reduce the number of calls at 1000 cases that were saying. Well thats a thing unfair and this is what is uniting oddly enough when theres so much controversy going on republicans and democrats in the a. C. L. U. As well as conservative groups saying wait a minute i thought the whole goal in trying to control the coronavirus in the spread of it was identifying it and all this is going to do is make those that might be weary of having their names on government rosters especially those in low income neighborhoods that are already wary of Law Enforcement going to give them incentive to not go and get tested now there was a rumor spare in the last week that actual d h s was able to go into homes and organ and take children away from parents that is later on been proven to be true but it doesnt raise the question you would ever. I thought that Law Enforcement the 1st place would be able to identify people who were sick before they went to their property what pm doras box of would this be opening in the future form on force especially if they have the specific name of the house of that person that tested positive what could be the repercussions down the line so the big worry is people will not go get tested because the last thing anybody wants to be put on is a government roster and not even that if there is the chance of being put out of government roster why go down to a center where youre a bar and a bunch of people who dont know what do they have it or they dont you know but now ben here we talk about the patients rights but what about the rights of Police Firefighters and e. M. T. As you know a lot of it they know that theyre going into hazardous. Areas not part of the job we know that same with journalists should their health and the potential of exposure not also be taken into consideration now. Well i dont think you can say that because a Police Officer or a firefighter might find themselves being exposed to a virus that you can then break the law and expose people who have this virus who by the way havent done anything wrong in getting this virus you know one of the things thats happening thats very weird in media right now is theres a lot of talk about people who contract covert 900 as if they are doing something nefarious or people who have it and havent disclosed it to anyone else or theyre Walking Around with this they get so its a very strange personification that were adding to this virus as if it is a human being the president could refer him in to it as a silent enemy its not an enemy its a virus and theyre all around us all the time i think one of the problems that were also seeing right now is that again we have you know this this concept of Contact Tracing that keeps being discussed right now its happening on this level that scotty was just talking about with disclosures being made but remember that while you might not want to go out and even get tested the goal of of what states are doing and some countries are doing right now is to force you to use your phone as a way of. Being connected to Contact Tracing and to be monitored through your phone apple and google are saying hey were going to keep it private and its gotten so crazy now that a lot of countries dont want to use them because believe it or not shockingly apple and google dont want to go as far as these countries want to go right but you know there i have been reports actually within the last couple of hours ben that you know apple or apple and android have come out with an app to possibly start looking at Contact Tracing so thats going to be interesting how it was released it was released today so apple on their operating system allows you to update to it but what i was saying is is countries like the u. K. For instance and india are actually aintree of apple and germany believe it or not germany is because theyre saying apples not doing enough so when you install it on your phone if you choose to do so it wont run in the background with your bluetooth what these countries are asking for is that your bluetooth run the entire time your phone is on so that its quietly running behind your system if you have an older phone it will kill your phone in just a few hours in terms of battery life now going from germany to tennessee scotty you are right there on the front lines one of those states again who is releasing these specific names how is the policy going over where you are what are you saying what can you tell us well as you can imagine fair and its not going over very well mainly because this was put through basically through the dark of night now the governor youre going to lease says that hes just going on the advice of the federal health board that put out that maybe these guidelines but local legislators youre saying wait a minute why did you not 1st of all you dissolved us but you also get passed this through the state house in the state senate so why are you doing that now there are 10 states that are releasing one state has already said you know what were not going to deal with the legal battles this might cause and theyve actually said were going to go back to just this idea of possibly alerting where the address might be because that would be a general 2 3rd states are using that have a policy but here in tennessee people are not happy the last thing that they want to do is be able to go to their doctor and not feel like their personal information whether its about co that or anything else. Saved and not protected from being released to Law Enforcement or anybody else who might possibly even want to purchase that type of information and scott you know im with you really quick you know a lot of times people have been saying this covert 1000 has been a right in a left or right in a blue issue it sounds like everybody in tennessee though seems pretty united about this one. Everybodys very much obviously one thing we can all be united about is that we want to protect personal liberties and privacy we want to protect our entire society from this spreading but we more importantly want to make sure that our information is secure and the question that we continue to ask ourselves if they can do it in this circumstance what other circumstances so theyre going to use this excuse or to take away our Civil Liberties and our privacy in the future all right. Scott and al hughes and kosta boom bust both of you thank you guys so much stay safe. But you.

And see your boat which. As tensions continue to increase between the u. S. And china over the coronavirus pandemic the u. S. Is moving forward and pursuing relations with taiwan might pump pale became the 1st us secretary of state to officially congratulate taiwans leader after she secured a 2nd term partys Rachel Blevins joins me now to discuss these latest comments rachel a lot coming out of this so 1st things 1st what did pump a. O. Say in his latest press conference well pompei i started this mornings press conference with very harsh rhetoric towards china he claimed that beijing has been hostile towards what he called free nations and he also doubled down on this claim that china has intentionally withhold information about the coronavirus he then went on to congratulate taiwan for reelecting their democratic leader take a listen to what he said. Congratulations to presence on or not to ration the democratic process in taiwan has matured into a model for the world despite great pressure from outside to want to demonstrated the wisdom of the giving the people a voice and a choice. Now the u. S. Has sold taiwan billions of dollars in weapons over the years so the island can defend itself but it also recognizes taiwan as a territory of china and President Trump actually broke protocol back in 2016 when he announced that he had a phone call with taiwans leader that along with the ongoing trade war has made china extremely skeptical that the u. S. Is pushing for taiwans independence so rachel how did china that respond to pompei of his remarks because one trumps out at they were not happy about this time it was about the same thing this time around in a spokesperson for Chinas Foreign Ministry spoke out and he condemned pompei oh and he also said this is evidence that the u. S. Is specifically trying to interfere in chinas internal affairs heres what he said. We warn the United States that taiwans independence is a road that leads to death. Or support for taiwanese independence to you need damages or chinas core interest in any interviewer and in china internal affairs. Counterattacks. Beijing is now calling on washington to adhere to past agreements which state that there will be no official exchanges with taiwan so weve got u. S. China what is taiwan said now right well in her inaugural address the leader of taiwan called for peace and stability with china but she also said that her government has no plans to simply fall in line with beijings political demands to know what she said. Here i want to reiterate there where its peace democracy and dialogue we will not accept the authority of one country 2 systems to downgrade taiwan and undermine the crosstree status quo we stand fast by this principle. Now in the. Beijing in taiwan has no right to diplomatic representation so it remains to be seen if that stance will change especially as the u. S. Continues to ramp up its relationship with taiwan and i will see if theres any more fallout with all this going on our rachel as always thanks so much for that report.
