Americans will also remember those who lost their lives in the fight against coronavirus. This week the United States will reach 100,000 deaths in this pandemic. At this hour the coronavirus is blamed for 97,000 deaths in the u. S. The number of cases now topping 1. 6 million. Still not enough to prevent scenes like these, beaches and bou boardwalks over the weekend with no masks in sight. A party at missouri, at osage beach. The Holiday Weekend is not over yet. Crowds are continuing to pack and reopening beaches on both coasts for the Third Straight day. Cnn is in myrtle beach in South Carolina and i wonder what you are seeing natasha, have you seen people practicing social distancing and seeing them Wearing Masks . Reporter yes to the first question because you can see each party is pretty much spaced out from each other and it is easier to do when there are more beach here and less crowded than yesterday and the city told me that they seen average to even lighter than normal memorial day crowds for myrtle beach. The question about masks, take a look. There is not a Single Person on this beach wearing one. I personally take mine off to be on camera and i will put it back on after and especially when i am interviewing people. We met someone, one other person who also was wearing a mask so we stopped him and asked him about that. I just feel it is safe to take proper precautions. It is larger group and get into the crowd again and i feel like with my family being out here, i want to protect them. Just being on the safe side of things, you know . Reporter the city says that maybe easier to social distance on the beach but they are concerned of in door spaces and restaurants and local businesses so desperately need this tourism cash flow. We saw local business is advertising with planesov overhd here on the beach. There were some restaurants exceeded 50 capacity and thats where we see some people being close together and not Wearing Masks. Good message there from isaiah about Wearing Masks and protecting his family. How is the country doing right now . We turn to cnns tom foreman, as always break it down for us. Brianna, lets go to the map. The story telling is not really that good. Yes, we have 22 states that are in that sort of tan steady states. We have 18 states that are in the red to dark red area. Remember this is relative. This is showing how they are compares to the week before. If you are red or dark red, you are getting more cases than a couple of weeks ago. If you are green, only ten are in the green. It is relative. New york up there is green right now. But new york we know has massive number of cases, well over 300,000 cases. Thats one of the big leading up there but theyre moving in the right direction compares to last week. Texas, a lot of cases but theyre moving in the right direction. Arkansas, look at that, dark red. Thats porntimportant. The governor there says theyre currently experiencing their second peak abo second peak. About 30 days ago, they had a case of 163 new cases undone da. Theyre going up and down state by state. Clear pattern is hard to come by in terms of a positive direction. That may have something to do with the number of tests administered because if you get one hot spot, a meatpacking plant and Nursing Homes where they have a lot of cases, that can push these numbers up and skew the picture. You got to have more tests so you know. The one place is hawaii. This is the seven days average of new cases there in hawaii. They look like they have been moving solidly down here from way up there before the start of april there. They have been creeping down. Remember hawaii is now higher geographically. They can do whatever they want. Theyre not like the rest of the stays where people are drifting across the border all the time the way we do here. Brianna, overall the map on this memorial day is not absolutely dreadful but it is not moving in the solid direction where we have 30 or 40 states in the green zone and that number keeps growing. Brianna. Tom, thanks for walking us through that. As i mentioned earlier, there is a video that gone viral shows an extreme case of people ignoring the advice of medical experts. This is a giant pool party in missouri at ozarks. You can see people shoulder to shoulder and not a mask in in sight. Tell us what it was like at your resort and what you have seen in scenes at the laukes of the ozarks this weekend. Was that the norm . We were packed more than i have been here. Most people of our resort were practicing social distancing. We seen more grubhub deliveries th we had in the past. Our pool did not look like that at all. It was more family here. We did not see none of that. What you see in that video is the norms for those types of places even without of whats going on. So it sounds like there were a lot of people who been inside and they really wanted to get out and you are seeing a lot of people who just need that outlet and they need that vacation but at the same time i thought it was interesting there is been a lot of food deliveries because restaurants are open there, right . Yes. Restaurants are opened, theyre 50 to 60 is what the governor put out. A lot of people are using curbside and grubhub and uber eats and delivery for pizza huts and dominos. I have seen more of those. From our traction of pick up today was apparent. We have kitchens in every one of them so we have seen just from that everybody is cooking more with us. What precautions have you taken and how important to make people dont get sick so you have a Sustainable Business model. We do all of our staffs and we take their temperatures clocking in tomorrow. There is more than one girl or one of our housekeepers working in a room together. We provide a mask for them to wear. Theyre required to wear a mask. If they are in there together they have to wear masks. We have hand sanitizers. New guidelines are put out by our governor of the state and on our front door. Thats the precautions we took and anything out there by the cdc, we have it out there also. Bill morgan, thank you so much. You have to keep them safe.

They received an email from the head of the school stated a student who attended the drivethru Graduation Parade tested positive. That student was confine todd a cconfinedto a car. Just because the city is opening up does not mean the threat isover. Some of the latest clusters of coronavirus that are breaking down as our correspondent shows us. Reporter two hair stylists tested positive for coronavirus and exposed around 140 clients as they continue to work up to eight days while symptomatic. Statewide barber shops and salons are allowed to open. Because these hair stylists are wearing face coverings that we dont see additional cases but only time will tell. Reporter i am ed lavandera, governor hutchinson says the case is arkansas is seeing a second peak of coronavirus cases. The first came a month ago. The governor says there has been an outbreak of coronavirus cases of a High School Swim party. We do not have details of where and when this all happened. The governor says it was of cluster of new coronavirus cases. Many places you go here in the state, there are few people Wearing Masks and the governor says people during this memorial day weekend needs to be mindful of their action to prevent the control of coronavirus. Breaking news, the World Health Organization temporary halted or ooereven studying hydroxychloroquine. This is the drug that the president touted. This family treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine became seriously ill and significantly more likely to die than patients who did not take the drug. I am joined now by dr. Roshini raj. Shes contributing medical editor for health magazine. I want to get your take on what we are seeing here from the w. H. O. About even studying of hydroxychloroquine. Brianna, they are halted and the drug is doing significant harm. They dont want to put the study subject through this because they think the harm outweighs the benefits. This is more evidence of not something we want to be looking for in terms of a cure for coronavirus. The people that are taking it without real recommendations got their handson it that it is dangerous potentially and especially in terms of a heart arrhythmia complication. What is horrifying of this virus is it takes a while to know the consequences, right . It takes only one person to spread this. Thats right. It is extremely infectious and the incubation period can last up to 14 days. What we are seeing now of mem y memorial day weekend and things are opening. Well see the effects of that in the next several weeks. It is worrisome and people dont realize they can spread it without symptoms. So when you see those things about schools and graduation parties and Swimming Pools that does not look like it is contracted through water but if you in a Swimming Pool and you are close to people and you are by the pool, things can spread. As long as we dont have the kak tra the contact tracing, it is going to be harder to trace. We see people are having fun, theyre drinking and laughing and shouting and spraying virus all over each other. Well wait to see the effects of that here in a little while. Last week arkansas had its largest daily increase, the governor says his state is experiencing a second peak. Is this what we are expecting to see in other states . Well see in other states and a lot of this is boiling down to personal responsibility. When we are talking about the hair stylists were still seeing people when they were symptomatic. This stuff should not be happening. You have to realize when you go out, you can control what you do but you cant control what other people do which is why masks are so important and keeping your guard up even if your community is starting to loosening some of the rules and restrictions and realizing certainly you are at high risk. For other people we dont know how vigilant they are so you have to be as careful as you can for your own personal safety. Dr. Raj, thank you so much as always. Thank you.

As america honors its fallen heroes, a solemn day for the president but President Trump is ratcheting up a totally undebunked claim. The president insinuating the scarborough aid was murdered even though there is no evidence. I want to bring in our correspondent Brian Stelter in. Not only it is total b. S. , brian, i just think about how painful this must be for the family. Thats why this matters so much. We know the president is the conspiracy theorist chief, he delights and promoted these crazy and hateful ideas. I keep on thinking of the family at the center of this story. A young woman was working for scarborough in florida when she fell and hit her head and died. This happens in florida. This was at the Congressional Office when he was at a gop. Scarborough was in washington. From the left wing claiming that scarborough had something to do with it. 20 years later even though it has been debunked countless tries. People are trying to use it against scarborough. I reached out to loris father and exhusband, they all declined interview requests. I am under the impression because they dont want to see their or loved one to be remembered how she died. They dont want to give more fuel to these conspiracy theorist. What an awful place to be when you are a Family Member of a loved one, you feel like you should not speak out because it causes more conspiracy. They cant afford it when you have the president whos furthering this conspiracy theory. It is moments like this what had a lot of critics saying what is twitter going to do. What are they doing . Twitter is the platform that the president promote this idea on. He has done it four or five times this month in various ways referring to a cold case thats not actually cold. We asked twitter, does this violate your policies even for World Leaders where dangerous contents would be flagged so users can understand what the truth is actually is. Notably about 24 hours now, twitter have not responded to our request zr commeand comment this issue. There were a lot of trump tweets that were ugly, dont bother asking twitter about because they dont seem to cross a clear policy line. This one does cross a policy line. What we have seen so often whether it is how the Republican Leaders reacted and how fox news reacted. There seems to be penalty within his base for promoting this kind of nonsense and with twitter, does not seem they want to penalize him in this case. Brian stelter, we appreciate it. The anchor of reliable sources. President trump is lashing out at North Carolina threatening the republican National Convention out of charlotte where it is scheduled the take place in late august. In a spring of blistering tweets on this memorial day the president accused governor roy cooper being in shutdown mood and unable to guarantee that by august will be allowed. North carolina like any other states in the country is dealing with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, they had more than 23,000 cases and 784 deaths. Now theyre in their first full week of phase two reopening plan. Joining me now is the city Council Member, larkin. You were deciding the swing vote that bro that brought the Rnc Convention to charlotte. What do you think of the president s argument here and what are your concerns of filling that arena to capacity . I dont think it is realistic. It does not mean there some sort of inperson convention here in charlotte. You have to reevaluate and understand it is not going to be the way that you imagine it is going to be. Democrats have been forward that the convention in milwaukee will be the week before the rnc will have to look different than the convention we held four years ago. So i think it is unrealistic that the president or anybody or county Health Directors to be able to guarantee anything about what three months from now looks like. What would it mean Council Member economically if the rnc decides to pull out . It will be a huge Economic Impact. I know a lot of our Small Businesses here in town are shot in the arm to help recover of the economy hardship felt in the last two months. Our top priority has to continue of the health and wellbeing of our citizens and the Economic Impact from that, part of that equation or Public Health safety has to receive that. Thats our priority and well continue to. Earlier this month the president accused the governor quote playing politics with the phase approach reopening the state. Governor cooper says hell let data and science guide him and not politics. This is what he told cnn last week about the convention. I think in order to truly boost our economy, people going to have to feel confident and theyre safe. Theyll do that when the government shows that we are relying on these figures and not political and this is not emotional. This is based on health experts, data and science and thats it for everybody to see. So, no one is being favored or disfavored over the other. He said it is not political, i wonder if he thinks there is any way the reopening can not be politicized at this point considering the environment we are in. No, this pandemic is politicized, it is disappointing. In our state, we are seeing a lot of bipartisan cooperations of doing whats best for the city of North Carolina. If we had to go back into some sort of abbott line states order and reverse some of the reopening that we are building. We are reckless of this reopening and well have to go backward and that can be more dire for Small Businesses than the loss of the convention. Vice president mike pence says the convention can be moved, he mentioned texas and florida and all three states with republican governors who are moving more quickly on reopening. What do you think of pences commen comments . I think it is all a test. For new venues and city to be put together in three months is difficult. The reason they are moving because they dont want to adhere our guidelines that is necessary. It is reckless of those things to do so without putting precautions in place. Councilman thank you so much, sun sill man egleston. Thank you for having me. Dr. Birx says an expedited vaccine is possible but what are the risks of that .

This was a stuffed dummy and it had a picture of the governors face on it. The demonstration was advertised as a rally to exercise Second Amendment rights. One protester did cut this down. Mitch mcconnell is from kentucky is one of several republicans condemning this tactic. You were there yesterday and you saw this and you called it chilling. Tell us what happened. So yes, i am the environment outdoor organization, i have been covering these antilockdown rallies just to understand why people are doing this and why we are so partisan when governors are trying to protect the publics health. I was curious of what Second Amendment rights had to do with the lockdown. Yesterday kind of alexander and political rally fair and a lot of rhetoric and Different Things and that sort. And as i was packing up top lever, i noticed there was some gentleman saying dont leave yet, we have a hanging effigy. Okay, this is whats going to happen. These guys went to a truck and they got a bag out and they pulled an effigy of the governor out of the bag. Then they proceeded to string him up. What was your reaction . Other folks who may have been there who were onlookers but was not apart of the protest, what was the reaction . My reaction just as an africanamerican and i spoke about this, there is this inner generational trauma triggers when you think of images of ethical and stuff like that. For me that popped in my head and there is people that have kids that were around there pointing at it and taking pictures of it. There is a woman went behind the effigy and holding up signs. For me i was like this is terrible and other folks were jovial about it. There were a lot of mixed feelings about. In the video if you watched it, you can hear the organization of the organizer and i tried to speak to him. Listen, do you think this belong in 2020, this type of rhetoric . This images during the jim crow area. What is the message you are trying to send to people . We are trying to put the governor on notice. To me that was a direct threat. We appreciate you coming on and telling us what happened. We know it was a difficult thing to cover or for a lot of people to look at. It is so important for us to talk about it. We want to thank you. This is not indicative of kentucky. For the most part if you look at the statistics and you know all the reports thats coming out. We had a great pro Public Health and pro citizens and worker response to the virus. For the most part people crossed the commonwealth and have been working together to contain and help uplift people. This is a terrible thing and i dont want people to think this is indicative of our state. These are issues that we need to talk about. This type of rhetoric that we need to root out. Thats really important to me. And you are here having this conversation with us, we are thankful for that. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. As cases explode in brazil. Its president calling the virus a little flu and shaking hands with crowds of people and no masks. More than 250 employees at a tyson flood plant testing positive. A lot of them are asymptomatic.

As the official School Year Ends across the country, debate over how and when to safely reopen k through 12 classrooms in the fall is heating up. Many parents cannot return to work to help reopen the economy if they dont have child care and safety here is the driving concern. The countrys former Homeland Security chief cochairs and Advisory Group believes schools in the nations capitol should not fully reopen until there is a vaccine. During the next period of time, we should slowly begin to bring students in. Those entering transitional grades or needing extra instruction would come in first. Wed make sure to maintain distancing in classrooms, to keep the collection of people in a particular classroom below a certain number like 10, to make sure the same youngsters were together throughout the day so you dont have a lot of people mixing with other groups. Eventually during the course of this time, to basically reopen, but in a very measured and deliberate way. Here now are kerstin grove, a Pennsylvania Elementary School teacher and sarah bentley, an Elementary School principal from michigan. Thank you both for coming on to really give us the inside look at this. Kerstin, the president tweeted last night that he wants all u. S. Schools opened asap. Whats your response to that . My response to that is that it cannot be a rushed measure. Its something that School Administrators are working tirelessly to figure out how it would look best in their communities, and its just not something to be rushed or taken lightly and we have to keep the students safety in the forefront. And principal bentley, what would it take for you to safely reopen your school . First of all, we have to look at the circumstances present. We need to look at the experts in our health and medical fields so that we can be confident that we can keep our students safe. As a school principal, my number one job is to ensure students safety so that learning can happen. We need clear guidance for safety measures, funding for ppe and a potential for increased Human Resource cost as well to be able to confidently let our families know that we can keep our kids safe. Kirsten, would you personally feel safe returning to the classroom right now . Right now, like, the principal said without a clear defined plan in place, i would not personally feel ready to go back to the classroom, and in teaching first grade, theres a lot of collaborative play, a lot of shared materials, a lot of people in one space, so until we know that our kids can be spaced and what that looks like across all grade levels, i dont think i would, no, i would not feel comfortable at this time. And principal, i mean, i hear you both saying there need to be these specific guidelines, right . Theres a lot of parents also right now who are worried, oh my goodness, my children are falling behind. Have you been thinking about longterm what may need to be in place when were talking about remediation to get kids up to speed . Absolutely. As educators, thats all we do. And i can chime in on that as well. First and foremost, that is one of our concerns, and also, during this time, its equity for all of our students. Being in michigan, our infrastructure supports so all families cannot easily access the internet. Also, Student Engagement declining over time of distance learning. We really need that inperson connection. But what educators do best is just what were going to do. When we get our kids back, were going to closely watch our gaps, to be certain that we meet students where they are when we come back in person to support them moving fwarorward. Thats what we do. Kirsten grove, sarah bentley. Sorry, kirsten, final word . I apologize. I just said we meet our students where we are and move them forward every year no matter the circumstance. Were so proud of you and all of americas teachers and administrators as youre reinventing yourselves professionally to serve the kids of this country. Kirsten grove, sarah bentley, thank you.
