Right now beaches and parks from coast to coast are allowing people to return for the first time in months but in many areas this new found freedom comes with restrictions on capacity and social distancing rules. All of this as the number of new cases in the u. S. Is Holding Steady or rising in 42 states. Some experts worry reopening could cause new spikes of the disease. The number of deaths is now over 96,000. New cases are up over 1. 6 million. Even as states ease some restrictions, President Trump is demanding governors do even more, calling on states to fully reopen houses of worship. Even saying he will override any governor who doesnt comply although it is unclear what authority the president is actually referring to. Cnn has a team of reporters fanned out across the country to cover all of the reopenings this holiday weekend. We begin this hour in georgia where the beaches on taibbi island are packed with visitors. The small beach town made National Headlines when the mayor went toe to toe with government kemp. Back in april kemp opened beaches right after taibbis mayor and city council closed their beaches down. Cnns natasha chen joining me now. What is it looking like this afternoon . Reporter this is the most number of people weve seen all day. As you were mentioning the mayor of tybee island here going toe to toe with the governor. After that the state sent resources. You see the folks in the neon vests . They are from the department of Natural Resources and came down here initially when beaches reopened to enforce social distancing. They left after a little bit but they are back this weekend and you can see why. There are just plenty of people and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between this years memorial day and any other year frankly at this point except for the fact that people are supposed to stay 6 feet from the next party and not have more than ten people per group. We met a couple that was actually supposed to be getting married today. When they knew they couldnt have their wedding one of them planned a trip down here knowing that georgia was the first to reopen places like this. Heres what they said. We thought we can go here, go to the beach. You know, maybe go to a restaurant, a bar, just have a good time. Escape and not be too upset about not getting married today with all our family and friends but still come and have a good time. Everyone loves the beach. There are so many people here i did not think there would be that many. Its kind of cool. The speakers are going. Looks like frat city kind of right now. Reporter she says it looks like frat city. So far, the mayor tells me that drn patrol folks have not cited or arrested anyone for being too close together. It got a bit serious last weekend when tybee police were sent to break up a group of 100 or 150 kids and even got pushback from the kids parents according to the mayor. Thank you so much. In southern california, warm temperatures and a promise of near 90 degrees on monday are expected to attract very large crowds there. Well go now to santa monica. Paul, what are you seeing . Reporter right behind me i can imagine you running. You are allowed to run. You can also go on the bike path. Once again, theyve opened this up for skate boarding or skating, biking, running, all of that. So recreation is okay but you are not allowed to park in big clusters here. Normally memorial day weekend even at 11 00 which it is now on the west coast you would see all sorts of umbrellas and blankets there. Then behind me you see the santa monica pier. That is a symbol of the small city really suffering because the ferris wheel is not moving. We do not see the rollercoaster humming. For the mayor of the city its really been tough. Some deficit of 40 million since the covid19 crisis began because theyve lost hotel and sales tax revenue. He described what its been like. Its been about ten weeks since i had a good nights sleep or a day off. Im not saying that for pity. Its the reality of trying to run a local government in these unprecedented circumstances. Weve had recessions before. Never anything that happened this suddenly or deeply that took that much money out of the city covers so quickly. Trying to figure out how to raun city on roughly 40 less money is a real challenge. We have tourism and restaurants to provide a great deal of our city budget and with the restaurants closed and the few hotels that are open with 5 or 10 occupancy that revenue is not going to come in overnight. Reporter that revenue of course pays for police and fire and Santa Monica Police telling me that the idea this weekend is they want to warn people, educate them, and just make sure that they dont gather in big groups here. Also making it difficult a lot of the parking lots are closed, fred. Wow. Ive been running and skating on that path. Its always fun. Of course it is great to see everybody else who is enjoying it as people are doing right behind you now, and thank you so much. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he is prepared to lift more restrictions in the coming days if new cases, hospitalizations, and intubations continue to trend downward. This at a time when the state has now reached a mile stone on friday reporting less than 100 deaths. In my head i was looking to get under 100 and we are under 100 and it doesnt do any good for the 84 families that are feeling the pain, but for me, it is just a sign were making Real Progress and i feel good about that. What are you learning . Reporter good afternoon to you. This goes back to an Associated Press story that reports roughly 4300 covid positive patients were admitted to Nursing Homes after an executive order issued by Governor Andrew Cuomo so this has begged a closer look. After that story weve heard from the Governors Office addressing specifically this. We heard that again today. The governor today offering that they saw well over 60,000 patients at hospitals and that 4,000 or so figure would be a subset of that. Additionally shall the governor offered an explanation weve heard in the past or the last several days here saying that the state of new york was pretty much following guidance issued by the federal government. New york followed the president s agencys guidance, so that depoliticizes it. What new york did was follow what the Republican Administration said to do. Thats not my attempt to politicize it. It is my attempt to depoliticize it. So dont criticize the state for following the president s policy. The governor recognizing this is certainly a politically charged topic but, nonetheless, one that many people are calling for a closer look. Now, what do we know from the States Health department . They have told cnn they are still taking a closer look at the numbers. The key numbers that theyll have to try to track down here and eventually release will be how many people were admitted after this executive order was issued in march and before it was rescinded by the Governors Office on may 10th. That would be a telling number but it has done little to quiet not only criticism but also the growing call for a federal investigation as to some of the deaths we saw in those Long Term Care facilities in the state of new york, fred. All right. Thank you so much in new york. While many places in new york city are opening, swimming at beaches remains off limits. On this holiday weekend, that is worrying some neighboring beach communities about an influx potentially of new yorkers taking advantage of the less restrictive measures. Cnns Evan Mcmorris santoro is at one of those beaches along the jersey shore with its own concerns. What are these communities preparing to do . Weve had some information into the cnn newsroom over the past couple hours. It has fleshed this thing out. There are two story lines. One, what people were planning for this weekend and, two, whats actually happened. Lets start with the second one. Its been rainy. The weather has not been great. Crowds have not been big. Even though beaches up and down the jersey shore are prepared for an influx of people who have been sitting at home and reached this unofficial start to the summer beach season they havent really showed up so we havent put the new rules and limits to the test. This is really a story about what happens when you have differing opening rules in differing places. Last week, the mayor of new york city bill de blasio, told the residents, which is still of course under a lockdown order, that the beaches would not be really available to them this memorial day weekend. He said, look. You can walk on the beach, maybe even dip a toe in but sitting around, gathering, that is closed. What that caused is neighboring communities around the new york city area that felt a little more comfortable opening beaches worrying theyll get an influx of people they wouldnt be able to handle with their new rules. Nassau county and counties around the new york city area instituted rules saying only their residents could come to those beaches. These are lightly enforced rules. They said theyd check licenses of one person in a car coming in. Signs saying dont come on the beach if youre not a resident of the area. The light enforcement has been kind of a hallmark of the whole thing. This weekend is really about personal responsibility. Now, here in new jersey where ive been the past couple weeks on these weekends covering the reopening plan they are not worried about people coming to the beach. They are welcoming visitors. Very important for the local economy. But theyre limiting the experience theyll have. There is a limited number of people who can be on the beach and if youre not social distancing youll be told to. Boardwalkings are partially opened, closed in some places. Attractions are still closed. But there is some goal here in new jersey at least of trying to welcome people from all over to come to the beaches like usual and get the economy going but that is not the story closer to new york where there is a concern of new york City Residents flooding beaches not prepared to handle them. Again, that is pretty much theoretical because of the weather weve seen. Right now in bellemare, new jersey, it is a beautiful moment but there is rain expected later in the day and there was this morning. So a test that has not yet happened of what is going to happen when the beaches are fully open and under way. All right. When the weather cooperates, well see how tested that plan will be. Thank you so much. Coming up smoke and flames at a tourist hot spot in san francisco. A fire and wall collapse puts ships at risk.

After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. A developing story out of california right now. More than 125 firefighters are battling a massive fire at san franciscos pier 45. It was first reported early this morning at the iconic Fishermans Wharf which is home to a pair of world war ii era war ships. Aggressive and quick swift actions saved the historic Jeremiah Obrien which if we are looking for one positive to come out of this tragic event, saving an historic world war ii vessel at the beginning of memorial day weekend is something we should all be proud of as a community. The warehouse fire is now contained to one section of the pier but Officials Say a quarter of the pier is lost to the flames. No injuries reported. The Navajo Nation is under a 57hour lockdown after reporting at least 95 new coronavirus cases and nearly 150 deaths. The lockdown went into effect last night and will go on until monday. During this time all businesses are closed. The strin j ent measures come as the total number of positive cases for the Navajo Nation surpasses 4500. The debate over whether to wear a facemask to help curb the spread of coronavirus is sparking tension in some communities. Some see wearing a mask or not wearing a mask as a political statement. But the republican governor of north dakota got choked up while pushing back on that notion during a press conference. Either its ideological or political or something around mask versus no mask. This is i would say a senseless dividing line. If someone is wearing a mask theyre not doing it to represent what Political Party to be in or what candidates they support. They might be doing it because theyve got a 5yearold child whos been going through cancer treatments. Still, the issue has led to confrontations across the country as some businesses try to enforce mask usage. In some case the outcome has cost lives. Here is cnns brian todd. A confrontation over Wearing Masks gets deadly at a Family Dollar store in michigan, three people charged with killing a Security Guard who police say asked a customer to wear a state mandated facemask. It is unclear if the three defendants have entered pleas. The guards uncle couldnt make sense of it. My nephew lost his life trying to help save lives. Reporter at this waffle house in aurora, Colorado Police say a man threatened a cook who refused to serve him because he wasnt wearing a mask. Police sate man returned later wearing a mask and shot the cook after the cook refused to serve him again. The man is charged with attempted firstdegree murder. He has not yet entered a plea. At a Publix Grocery store in miami beach earlier this month this was the scene when a man was not let in because he wasnt wearing a mask. A violation of my Constitutional Rights and my civil rights. Reporter Miami Beach Police tell cnn this video was captured on a Code Enforcement officers body camera. There is no pandemic im filing a lawsuit. Reporter the sign on the stores front door clearly says customers have to cover mouths and noses. Cnn reached out to publix for comment and more information on the incident like what precipitated it. We didnt hear back. Miami beach police did not have information on what started the confrontation but told cnn no arrests were made. Tension, confrontation, and violence seem to have escalated in recent weeks as businesses have opened up and customers have brushed back on the rules requiring face masks. Its frightening. A lot of these stores are trying to follow the rules and regulations placed out there but without additional security, its become very difficult for them. People are angry. People are frustrated with what this means for individual businesses, it puts them and their employees at a greater risk. We asked a psychiatrist who has worked with Law Enforcement, what is it about being asked to wear face masks which might set off confrontations . The face is a very personal, our most personal space. When were telling people you have to cover that up, it really kind of evokes a very primitive sense about the fact that you are trying to dominate me. You are trying to humiliate me. You are trying to control me. Im not going to do it. Some who resisted Wearing Masks have said they have a right not to wear one. Many people have been confused over mask wearing because so many different jurisdictions have different ordinances but Health Experts are clear about why they are important. As you go into the work place or any area where there is a significant number of people, its life saving. Youre actually saving other peoples lives by wearing that mask and preventing aerosol release of the covid19 virus. Law enforcement analysts are worried as more places reopen the confrontations over wearing face masks will only escalate, stretching the resources not only of Law Enforcement agencies but also of businesses which may have to hire extra security now.

This weekend we are approaching 100,000 coronavirus deaths in america. As researchers test possible vaccines, businesses are beginning to reopen, and so are some schools. But what will classrooms look like in this age of coronavirus . Today were answering your top questions about education. Im joined now by a pediatrician and president of the American Academy of pediatrics, the superintendent of atlanta Public Schools, and Michael Gonchar editor for the New York Times learning network. Good to see you all. Glad you could be with us on this super important topic. Top of mind for all parents out there. Anyone who has a child in their life. Parker from richmond, texas asks how can School Districts care and protect their youth from the unknowns of covid while also supporting faculty members who may be vulnerable . I want to reiterate we are learning something about this virus every day and we dont have all of those answers yet. What we do know is children need to be ready to start back in school if we are able to open in the fall safely. We need to make sure they call their pediatricians, get the School Physicals done. Make sure your child is up to date with immunizations. Make sure they are getting plenty of sleep so theyll be in a good School Routine and make sure we are Monitoring Mental Health about the stress in their life from anxiety and depression and those things. If were able to start, open these schools safely, then theyll be ready to get back in there and start learning. The School Systems im sure will be very innovative on all the things they will do to make sure children stay safe as they get back into school. We need to have testing and monitoring for that for sure. Michael, rene in elk grove, california asked what proactive strategies or processes do you know of toward realistically opening schools and keeping children, parents, and staff healthy . I think that schools and colleges are considering all options right now. For example, many families and teachers definitely want testing to make sure people know when someone is infected in the community. They want tracing put in so for example if someone is infected that authorities can set selfquarantine those who may be at risk. They want guidelines for mask wearing in crowded places such as cafeterias and social distancing measures which can be really complicated. For example one thing that School Districts are considering are hybrid possibilities so for example students might go to school monday, wednesday, and friday or have a split schedule in the mornings and afternoons so not putting all of the students normally in the building there at the same time. The districts are even reconsidering things like perfect attendance awards. Maybe we dont want parents sending children if they have a slight fever during a pandemic, things parents might have done otherwise. My sister told me back in march that she mentioned when the outbreak was just beginning to the principal of her sons school that they need soap in the soap dispensers in the bathrooms. So lookingat all different options and the basics do matter as well. Yes, on that cafeteria issue of course a lot of folks are trying to envision if you are wearing a mask how are you going to eat . There is a question upcoming about that. Maria, this to you. This is from barbara, a teacher with 40 Years Experience in special education, Early Childhood education. She writes, students, both special needs and 4, 5yearolds, will be challenged with social distancing. How will School Districts limit the number of Young Students and students with special needs in classrooms . Right. There are a lot of questions like that. The practicality of applying some of these theories are incredibly challenging. I agree that schools and districts will have to be incredibly innovative. What i think, you know, every stakeholder needs to understand is that the most important thing we can do or the umbrella under which we need to live and work has to be about protecting those vulnerable populations whether that is a child or an adult that is key to every strategy that you use. And then what has to undergird any scenario or any strategy is practicing prevention. So ive seen a lot of theories, even in, if you just walk through the Typical School day, getting on a bus, entering a school, eating a meal, walking down the hallway, getting in the classroom will require if youre going to do those kinds of Public Health recommendations you have to have the distance and think about how you maximize the facility itself. Social distancing, i think, is the bear that we have to wrestle with. But when youre working with little children who have the wiggles and theyre just not used to these conditions i think it is going to be very hard. There are some theories out there. I know our district is considering multiple scenarios. Having a Cross Functional Team looking at those scenarios is essential. It seems like the smaller the child the more likely they are to want to be close to someone so to try to impose on them six feet apart. That is going to be tough getting the message across. So from north carolina, even if i spend my children to school in masks will they be susceptible to possible cross contamination like when eating, the cafeteria scenario, or even in the classroom some kids eat. As we know masks are one of the things used to try to keep people safe but we also need physical distancing. The masks by themselves wont do the whole thing to keep children safe. When they do want to eat or drink they will be taking those masks off. It will be critical to not have children putting masks on or off and to have separate masks to put on so they go to school with one mask, have lunch, then maybe another mask for the afternoon. I think it will have to be innovation of how do we have enough masks to make that happen and how do we help kids actually the younger kids you can keep the mask over their mouth and nose. Which we know is difficult. Now youre delving into another issue. You know it is going to be costly and there are going to be a lot of public School Districts particularly cash strapped and the notion of buying more supplies is yet another challenge. We were just doing some estimates ourselves looking at whether we would selfproduce the masks and for a district our size its about 300,000 just to get out of the door. But that is coupled with what i think every district is going to be experiencing across the country, which is dramatic budget reductions. We just got a memo saying its a 14 reduction in the funding formula for districts coming from the state and we also have a bricks and mortar program. Most people use bonds. Ours is tied to a one penny sales tax. No one is out buying. There are no conventions. Well feel a real hit in our ability to maintain and renovate and protect the buildings themselves and again, youre trying to do smaller class sizes, smaller numbers of children in bus routes, which means you need more support, more buses. And so it is a real to look at those things and try to piece it together in a way that says, for us, its a 60 million general fund hit, youre doing things like eliminating tax reductions or cutting reserves from schools or reducing our ability to do some of the Flexible Work we do in the school year for schools that were already struggling. So the challenge is real and the resources will be tight. Huge challenges. Thank you so much, everyone. Stick around. We have more questions coming your way. But first, a surprise message from dr. Anthony fauci to the class of 2020 at John Hopkins University. Warm greetings to you all. My name is tony fauci director of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of health and a member of the White House Coronavirus task force.

Welcome back to this special edition of the cnn newsroom where we answer your questions about the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, this week were focusing on the impact on our students, teachers, and Education System. You all have sent amazing questions. My panel is back with me. Michael, dr. Julian engert in atlanta asks if the fed cuts money for education as has been reported how can schools ensure smaller classes . People are worried about budget issues as was mentioned earlier with people not shopping in stores and taxes, fewer taxes coming in. I think that is a real issue and i know that new york city mentioned that theres going to be budget cuts in the school system. I certainly hope if cuts need to be made that both teachers and those working with students directly are protected. The people in the front lines at the schools and reaching our students, so i think that is most important. With this issue of small class sizes it is important for educational reasons. Also as was mentioned earlier it is important in terms of social distancing if students are going back to school and were packing more students into the classroom it feels like a recipe for disaster. It would be nice if the Education System were exempt from any kind of cuts. We just heard you explain, you know, what may potentially happen when the Georgia Education leaders are saying the governors request to cut the budget for schools by 14 and whether that could cost jobs and salaries in School Districts across the state. A viewer in atlanta asks how is the atlanta Public School system going to hand the billions in budget cuts . I know you touched on it earlier. Help paint the picture. For our district we are again mostly looking at nonpersonnel cuts. It is a rough economy. If the last minutes i saw for the motion, about 38 Million People were filing for unemployment. And so our area isnt immune from the economy either. Were trying to keep people in their jobs, make sure they have their benefits and health insurance, retirement. We are not to completely undermine the economy of our community. That means people have to be kept employed. The last thing were going to try to do is touch people in their positions. As i said earlier, well be looking at pushing off textbook adoptions, push off any kind of raise or compensation. We are looking at shifting sources of where we pay, from where we pay, which means maybe push some things off our general fund into the cares act resources as an example and were asking tofrn just tighten the belt. Were doing it in an autonomous way. Trying not to be draconian about the approach, allowing each principal and governing team for a school made up of parents and Community Stakeholders and teachers to laser cut where they think they could help us with some relief. All in, we do think we can make it to the 60 million. This question is from jeff a p. E. Teacher in sacramento. He writes do i need to wipe down every piece of equipment after each class . Am i endangering students if they share a ball for a drill . He does. We do need to wipe down everything we use. We wipe down the table, the chairs, any touchable surfaces when a patient comes in. Yes he would need to wipe those things down. I encourage p. E. Teachers to be very innovative about trying to find physical activities where they can have social distancing or physical distancing at least and use as little equipment as possible. So that doesnt become an issue. That is going to be a huge challenge. Thank you so much, everyone. Stick around. We have so much more to discuss. Its miraclegros biggest thing performance organics.

During the tempurpedic summer of sleep, all tempurpedic mattresses are on sale welcome back to this special edition of the cnn newsroom where we answer your questions about the coronavirus pandemic and the focus this weekend is all education. My panelist back with me now. Nick from connecticut asks, what do you envision classroom learning to look like in the fall . What will school buses, cafeterias, gym class, and Extracurricular Activities look like . Well, i would tell him, consider the worst but expect the models to be the best people can do under the conditions. So i think you will see some smaller class sizes, rethink of buildings, even the use of best Practice Research around gatherings, you know, well have to dismantle and put back together in different ways. I think people can also expect that the schedules will be different and thats from transportation to how a master schedule actually works in the school. I think if you are in high school or secondary you can also expect changes in athletics and after School Activities as well as Early Childhood education. So it is going to be a lot of changes. I think people should prepare to be flexible. Wow. Michael ross from rome, new york asks do you think there will be a major regression with most childrens education and what they learn the first half of the school year . People are worried about what has happened over the past two months. Traditionally educators talk about a summer slide and people worry that even despite schools and educators best efforts that maybe there will be a spring and summer slide because of the months of remote learning. We know some students are being left out. Thousands of students dont have wifi that is reliable, that dont have technology reliable. They may be taking school on their phones because they dont have a laptop or computer. On top of that to think of students who have special needs and learning english as a second language, these are all challenging situations. I think schools have to be prepared during the summer and for the fall that there will be some students who have fallen behind and need additional supports ready. Jess from minnesota asks if you have multiple kids and one is immune compromised is the safe thing to keep them all home from school or can you send some and still protect the one who needs it . The same could be said for a family that has perhaps an elderly person at home. Absolutely. I think that is going to really rely on what is going on in your community with the virus, with testing, and tracking and all of those things. And i encourage anyone who is in that situation where they have a child or an adult member in the family that may be immuno suppressed or special needs to call their pediatrician and set out a plan of what they should do and talk it through with their pediatrician. Maria, how do you suppose your School District and others will be able to, i guess, reach a consensus on what is going to be the best plan since schools in one district may be very different and the needs and the supplies, resources could be, and the audience of people, can be very different . Well, i dont think that consensus is going to be achievable. What i think people will do is if they are smart, i think you do have to look at unique challenges and Community Structures within not only your city, your state, but within your district, itself. The inequities of what has existed in public School Systems especially urban systems are real. And having to press hard to get resources where people need it the most i think will be the Biggest Challenges we have to face as a Public School entity within our nation. So i think itll be different across the board. I dont think consensus is going to be the norm. That will have to do it for now. Simply the hour is now up. Thank you so much. Well have you back.
