Good evening. The breaking news, President Trump saying tonight hes determined to reopen the economy, against saying he has absolute power over the states. We have the right to do whatever we want, but we wouldnt do that. No, we would have the right to close down what theyre doing if we want to do that, but we dont want to do that. I dont think there will be any reason to do that, but we have the right to do that. This coming just 24 hours after the president retreated from that position. Tonight the u. S. Reporting more than almost 1,907 new deaths across the country so far today, as trump promises hell unveil new guidelines on opening the economy tomorrow. The death toll rising every single day, doctors and Business Leaders agree that cannot happen without more testing. Business leaders on the phone with the president stressing that today. That is where there is still another huge problem. Tonight an alarming new study, warning that people might be the most infectious before they show symptoms. Just to state that obviously that would mean seemingly Healthy People are spreading the virus. So can seemingly health with family get tested . No. Take for example one of the hoffest spots in america at this time, new jersey, they have opened a saliva test where you get the results back pretty quickly. Unless you have a doctors note you cant get tested unless theyre exhibiting symptoms. You drive by a site, the sign says no symptoms, no test. Even though we know asymptomatic people are spreading the virus and people may be most infectious before they have symptoms. Opening the economy is not that easy. Nick watt is out front live, and another grim milestone where you are this evening, record high deaths there. Reporter absolutely, erin, for the second day in a row the peak of our projected death toll not projected to peak here until this weekend, but planning has already begun for the next phase. What california and the rest of america will look like when reopening does happen, and it doesnt look like maybe we had hoped it would. Its difficult to imagine us getting together in the thousands anytime soon. Reporter so no ball games, no concerts here in los angeles, says the mayor, maybe for another year. Another year. Its over when we have a vaccine. You want to use new york state as a lab tire . We are ready, willing and able. Reporter but a vaccine could take anywhere from 8 to 18 months. Meantime, to reopen at all, we need lots of testing, and theres a potential impasse. The governors are supposed to do testing. Its up to the governors. We cannot do it without federal support. Reporter well reopen a bit, but this summer will still be different to all other summers. If we move too quick, we put 50,000 people in yankee stadium, and thats part of why we see a resurgence, that would be the worst of all worlds. Reporter servers wearing face masks. I think there will be social distancing thats a critical part of our distancing. Reporter starting soon new yorkers must carry a mask everywhere they go and wear it any situation in public where you cannot maintain social distancing. Reporter new jersey names and shame stayhome from loitering in Public Places to stupid things like holding front lawn cover band concerts. What is encouraging is theres more compliance now than at the beginning of the emergency. Reporter new york and new jersey might have passed the peak. Meanwhile, massachusetts has climbed to the third highest case count in the country. Well probably be at the peak ned in about five to seven days and likely the peak number of deaths five to seven days after that. Reporter its estimated that nearly 10,000 Health Care Workers have been infected, and this psa says 30 members have been killed by covid19. Do i think they should receive hazard pace or appreciation pay, whatever you want to call it, yes, i do. Theyre taking more risk every single day. Reporter they want grocery clerks designated as extended first responders. Thats our new normal, will be for a new while. Now, california was one of the first places to do social distancing, and its paying off, as we just heard dr. Birx say we havent really seen a peak here in california. There was also a lot of preplanning, also paying off. That entire hospital behind me was set aside just for covid patients. We are reaching what probably will be the worth weekend in california, and theres still plenty of capacity in there. Erin . All right. Which is good, and its going to make a big difference as we reopen, that people will have the confidence that the system has the capacity to absorb what would be increases. I want to go now to dr. Sanjay gupta. Trump said some can open may 1st, and some data suggests we past the peak of new cases. When he says theres states ready to open may 1st, do you think that would be prudent . I think people have been very clear in what will be necessary, regardless of which state it is before a state can open. You have beenly nobody wants it to happen in the other states, but whenever we look at the numbers and pictures, we look at an image from two, three weeks ago, so the question is what has happened over the last two to three weeks. Thats why we still need to wait a bit. In order for the states to open, you still have to make sure you can test widely, and its sort of back and forth. You need to make sure you have enough tests. Obviously the tests need to be administered at the community level. Theres a disconnect right now. Could they get it done . Thats not surveillance. We need to be in surveillance mode and were not there yet. To this point, we were just saying, when you drive past a drivein Testing Facilities in new jersey, it says no symptoms, no test. Everybody knows asymptomatic people can spread this. Im just making a definitional point. If youre only testing people with symptoms, you wont find out who is spreading this. Its just definitional, right . Absolutely. You know know who has it, who is spreading it, and the number, i think, whatever, 619,000 people have tested positive. I dont really know how to contectualize that number. Thats obviously the number of people who have tested positive. If the question is how widespread to this coronavirus in the United States, we still dont have a clear idea, and we need that. Weve known for sometime, asymptomatic people, never develop symptoms can spread this. Now this study people who go on to develop symptoms, they are the most before they start to see sick. Before the virus is present, when they get sick, they become less infectious, but you have to test them, you have to trace the contacts. People to remember i wasnt even sick, but who are the people i had contact with before i got sick . You can understand how laborious a task it is, but necessary in order for the states to open. Thats the tragic truth, that they know, that is the reality for many places. To that effect, sanjay, the states are trying too figure out how to do this, and then in couldle cal, gavin newsom, the governor talked about things lie disposal menus, and mayor garcetti said he may not allow any sports or concerts until 2021. Dr. Fauci today was basically saying if you get Major League Sports back, his implication was they stay in a hotel by themselves and play for empty stadium, but maybe just a tv audience. Is that the reality for the foreseeable future . It could be, erin. I get no joy in saying it. Theres a bad virus going on. Its very important, but the one constant is theres a vire thats circulating thats very contagious and lethal. We still dont know how lethal it is. But its a bad environment. It can make people very sick. Thats true. We just need to be honest about that, until theres a vaccine or theres proof of immunity, you know, from people being exposed and developing antibodies, i think well have to do this incrementally. This distancing, either more consistently or even intermittenedly will kin for a while. And we talked to people who are working on that, and they say for the general public by next spring that would be ready. For Health Care Workers, maybe even earlier. We saw that estimate from harvardier, and we did see a cdc demographic breakdown today. Theres been a real dearth of data, frankly that we seem to be getting from other countries. What did you see that took out the most from what we did get from the cdc today . I think it was over 70 of data we stilt dont have. Everything youre say is trying to extrapolate data, but you know, were getting a better idea of the age range of people affected, we kind of had an idea of that, but thats a large demographic. We know that black america is very affected by this. Theres places by this where they represent 14, 15 of the population, but developing we know thats significant as well. We also know, and its becoming completely that there was still aspects still coming to light. Its young people seemingly with no other risk factors that subtly get six and even die of this. Theres Something Else thats missing. Something was that the but were still learning a lot about that. Thank you very much, sanjay. Next, antibody tests. You hear it again and against. One of the you have those, you get to go back to work. Thats the key to opening the economy, but my next guest warned the white house these tests are not yet reliability. And a race for a vikings. Ill speak to a doctor who is testing on humans, and one of the participants, is also out front. And protests in michigan again the state adhome orders. Did the governor go too far .

Seeing the break in the clouds before anyone else. Together, well weather this storm. Tonight President Trump touting a new antibod counter test, saying it will be able to determine whether millions of people have already recovered from coronavirus. Its a great test. The company says these tests could be available to screen up to 20 Million People in a matter of weeks. 20 Million People in a mart of weeks. The fda authorized two other antibody tests. Cnn learns the top scientists warned the white house last month that current testing isnt rye liability. Dr. Wellman is one of the and professor of microbiology and immunology at stanford. I appreciate your time. I know you were on the call. What was yours message that you wanted them to understand about antibody message. Our message was, in authority, this was a work in progress. A rush could lead to a misunderstanding of what is going on. I was reals an m. I. Tissues review, and people see it as a panacea, right . Give everybody a test, if you have it, you dont have to worry about anything, and if havent had it, you have to be more careful. This article was talking about concerns to show that you had had coronavirus, when you hadntly hadnt, because overall in the u. S. Population, such a small number of people have been likely infected. The higher the infection rate, the more confident we can be that a positive result is real. It magnifies the reports . Thats right. The theres two corns. Any test is not perfect. Then the importance of those error depends on how many you expect to find. If you expect very true positives, you have roughly equal number. The other problem is how to interpret the meaning of a positive when you expectation is very few people are real. The other problem is we dont know what a positive means in terms of protection. We know if the right controls are done, we know that the ittest will tell us, have you been exposed to this virus . What we dont know is if that means you are immune to this virus and you would be resistant if exposed again. Drift fauci was asked that today. Heres what he said. In general, with viruses we deal with all the time, it almost invariably means youre protected. We dont know that for sure yesterday. A half a year or a year, we need to get experience to know that. We dont know if and how much. That obviously puts the entire safety that you would kind of get from an antibody positive in question, right . I think were both saying very similar things, but coming from different direction. What were saying is that this is a very different virus than those that were accustomed to. We know something about what antibodies mean for viruses we are familiar with. These viruses come out of nature, out of ether, essential and we have to learn. Part of the challenge is that humans are completely naive to this virus. So, yes, there may be andy body. But when you start from zero, youre asking a lot for newfound antibodies, and we just dont know. We will sort it out, but it needs to be sorted out. A lot of people thought, just get these done and we can be off to the races. I think what youre laying ute clearly, its not nearly that simple. Thats important. I appreciate your time. Not at all. Happy to. The race to find a vaccine. Someone who is actually a patient right now getting that test. And americans running out of money to purchase basic necessities like lifesaving medications. Where are their stimulus checks . Feel the clarity of nondrowsy childrens claritin allergy relief. And relief from symptoms caused by over two hundred outdoor and indoor allergens. Because to a kid, a grassy hill is irresistabale. Childrens claritin. Feel the clarity and live claritin clear. I have moderate to severe pnow, theres skyrizi. Things are getting clearer, yeah i feel free to bare my skin yeah thats all me. Nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin thats my new plan. Nothing is everything. Keep your skin clearer with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90 clearer skin at 4 months. Of those, nearly 9 out of 10 sustained it through 1 year. And skyrizi is 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. I see nothing in a different way and its my moment so i just gotta say nothing is everything skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Before treatment your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs, or if you plan to or recently received a vaccine. Nothing is everything ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. Tonight the race for a vaccine. The National Institutes of health has developed a vaccine that is now undergoing human trials. Emory university is leading the testing. Dr. Carlos del rio is one of those leading the team. Doctor, i appreciate your time tonight. How is your trial going so far . Thank you, erin, for having me. Its going well. Were only in what we call the face one of a vaccine study. Phase one is where you test for safety and reactivegenicity. Youre making sure the vaccine is safe and doesnt produce a lot of local or systemic reaction. So a lsmall amount of Healthy Volunteers are being tested here and also in washington state. Well serve them and see if theyre doing okay. If that goes okay, then the vaccine moves into what we call a face two study. Thats where you take the vaccine and giving it to more people, either by gift them a placebo. And then if those that got the vaccine an thats the i have indication because thats when you know when your vaccine work or not. I know youre early on in the process. How good do you feel about this . I feel great in the sense that, you know, its only three mondays that we described this new virus. Now we have over 70 vaccines being developed and three of them are already in clinical trials, including this one . That is absolutely unprecedented. That really talk about what science is doing, how rapid science is evolving. I feel good that, you know, theres 70 vaccines out there. I also work in hiv, and we dont have 70 vaccines for hiv in the field. So it gives me hope we will be able to develop a vaccine and now when i say relatively short time, im speaking in vaccine terms. That may be a year and a half or two years. If everything goes well. If everything goes absolutely well, i am hoping by the fall of 2021, its not only its producing millions of doses and distributing those doses. Thats going to take some time. So one question before we go. This is just something ive been wondering, viruses obviously mutate. With he know this mute yates. People are able to determine, you know, the kind of trail of the virus by its mutation path. For example, theres a difference between someone who had a virus originating in europe in new york city versus one in a originated in china, when it comes to a coronavirus, this coronavirus, covid19. Does that or no . It does not. A vaccine is targeted to a very specific, its what it uses to the respiratory cells. That is a very conservative region. Its like saying the key to the house doesnt change. You may change the painting, the mutation is changing the painting on the door, but the key is still the same. The vaccine is directed to that key. Therefore, i feel fine that no matter the mutation, that region continues to be the same. Thats important to hear. I appreciate your time, dr. Del rio, thank you very much and for your optimism. As the doctor was saying he feels good about it, i want to go to shawn doyle, who is in dr. Del rios trial so, sean, you know, obviously people heard what and there are risks of the possibility. This is when they find out, what has been your experience so far . Thats correct. Im happy to say, farce my participation so far, its just been like getting a flu shot. So, you can have some mild adverse events that occur such as an elevated temperature, maybe some pain at the site of injection. Some potential adverse consequences such as an flaflac is, but for me ive been feeling great. Whats the time frame fof youre to determine how they would term an adverse effect . The lengths of this trial will be roughly 14 months. After getting the first vaccine dose, the followup was really continual and fantastic. So the lead investigators, including dr. Carlos del rio and the nurses running the trial, did a great job following up with the participants to make sure there werent any serious side effects. So you volunteered to test the ebola vaccine. You yourself obviously an expert. I know your friends and families verdict concerns. Why diagnose decide to do it . What motivates you to do this and to take this risk to see if this works . Yes, so when youre starting or testing an unknown treatment like this, you never really know whats going to happen. For these types of viruses, though, where there arent good preventative measures in place, the development of that vaccine is really critical for ensuring that the virus is contained. So for me personally, i lope that my participation and other folks participation in this trial helps to provide potential benefits at a population level, to show first of all this vaccine is safe and potentially that its effective in reducing or preventing transmission. We have to have some tools to be able to fight this virus right now. All right. Sean, i appreciate your time. And i know a lot of people, many people, everyone watching is grateful youre willing to do what youre doing right now. Thank you. Thank you very much. And i want to bring in dr. Jonathan reiner. He of course advised george w. Bush White House Team for eight years. Ive been warning on the show against moving away from social distancing until we have a vaccine. Look, at the sounds like hes ago good as he feels. He feels like this is real, this is what he does for an entire career. He says with all of that, he said the fall of 2021 to early 2021, with sum remember opening still need to stay in place that long . After 9 11, people thought nothing would be the same. Nothing really was ever the same, we learned to live with a certain threat, so we will learn to live the current high level of viral infections, and, you know, the or risks number of deaths will drop out of. Well have lowlevel virus, probably continually, maybe at very low levels over the summer, and maybe then spiking again in the fall or winter. Were going to learn a lot from this. So some elements of social distancing have to remain with us. I think masks are here to stay. I think well learn how to get back to work. People who will telework will, but well have a wile before we have a vaccine. A vaccine typically takes a decade. Now youre hearing multiple companies and scientists saying were going to engineer a vaccine in 18 months. Its really spectacular, but until we get there. Well have to do less scientific things to get by and get back to a functional society. You know, theres some people who say we dont have an hiv vaccine years later, but people who look at that and say, gosh, you had a lot of great minds dedicated to that. Is there a risk of that now . You say no. Why . The hiv problem was special, because that virus didnt incite a robust immune response. So what a vaccine really does is sort of trick the body into believing its infected by the real virus, and having the body produce an immune response to that, to that stimulus, but the hiv virus doesnt incite that kind of immune response by the body. It attacks the immune cells. So its created a whole different set of challenges. I dont think that the analogy between the hiv virus and this particular coronavirus is necessarily apt. Which is great to hear, and i know people hear 18 to 24 months. Its jarring and upsetting in many ways, but i think as you want and dr. Del rio says, it is quite spectacular. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Next, the government still lulls checks are going out, but for some families the relief may already be too late. Michigans governor facing protests and lawsuits tonight over strict guidelines. The michigan governor is my guest, next. I just love hitting the open road and telling people that Liberty Mutual customizes your insurance, so you only pay for what you need [squawks] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Listen to doctors from the start. The coronavirus. What would joe biden do differently . Restore the white house pandemic office. Open 10 mobile testing sites per state. Faster hospital expansion. Produce enough safety gear. Vaccines at no cost. And extend obamacare enrollment. When im president , we will be better prepared, respond better and recover better. Unite the country is responsible for the content of this advertising. But one thing hasnt breakfast. And, if that feels like a little bit of comfort, its thanks to.

To everyone around the world working so hard to bring breakfast to the table, thank you. Two senior treasury officials tell the Washington Post that adding the president s name could delay the delivery. The i. R. S. And the president says thats not the case.

Now hes rationing what he has left without knowing when his expected stimulus money will come in. Each day just gets scarier. Reporter how desire is this crisis .

She wont get a stimulus check. So lie tho like thousands of others she wont qualify. She is on her own. 100 might not be that much to you, but it could be my saving grace for tomorrow. Reporter michael shockey, who you heard in ha story was watching President Trumps White House Briefing tonight. He says this issue of the president ace name on the stimulus check, angry isnt the right word. He uses the wort hurt. He says americans are hurting, and then all of this, erin needs to be about helping americans. Thank you very much. Protests in michigan over the tough new state athome guidelines. Plus jeanie on the search for a substitute to sports. New tonight, on lansing to protest the governors current stayathome rules. Resumes which include bans on all gatherings, travel to instate vacation homes and the use of motor boats. Also out front now, gretchen whitmore. There are critics who say your order goes too fab, its unconstitutional. Why do you think the measures are needed . Lets look at the fact we have the third highest people who have died from covid19 and we are not the third biggest state in the nation. We have a unique challenge here in michigan, and it requires a unique solution. We have to be really aggressive. Our hospitals were at capacity very early on. We know that covid19s been here longer than it was ever detected. And so we have to be really aggressive here in order to save lives. So heres what one woman who attended the protest works in health care. Here is what she had to say, governor. I truly believe that restrictions should have been put on the people that are sick, that are coming down with the illness. I truly believe there are some people at a higher risk than others. Us people that are at a lower risk i feel we should have continued with our lives and continued working. So whats your response when you hear that . The fact of the matter is covid19 is a virus that theres no cure, theres no vaccine. Its incredibly contagious, and its deadly. The worst part is you can carry it for a week without showing a symptom. System people are completely asymptomatic. It could manifest in a fever or sore muscles for one person in the household could be deadly for another, and thats precisely why Everyone Needs to do their part. This virus has been spreading by people who didnt even know they have it. Every time you touch that, think that covid19 stays active for 72 hours, our doctors are telling us. Thats three days of people touching that one gas pump. A nurse going to her shift touches it, a food worker touches it. Youve taken out people who are part of the lifesustaining work that needs to be done in a global bpandemic. Everyone has to do their work. We have video today, got whitner, from outside the steps, people talking. I want to make it clear most people were in their cars, but a lot of people standing around, some not wearing masks. Our reporter was there and said a lot of people were not social distancing. Dozens upon dozens as he was there. Do you think that the protest put people at risk today . Absolutely. Absolutely. I can give you one clear example how that is. It was a car protest and they were backed up to in front of a hospital. There was an ambulance that could not get into the bay for ten minutes. They absolutely impacted peoples lives today and threatened peoples lives. And well never know the precise number of covid19 cases that come as a result of the gathering, but we know there will be some. There are definitely people asymptomatic, functioning in society, that continue to spread the disease. Were seeing continuous positive tests and precisely events like this that contribute to how long were going to have to be under the stayathome order they were protesting. President trump said tonight its up to governors to be responsible for testing. He said he could take strong action against them if he didnt like the job youre doing. That he could do that. He also back and forth the past couple days has been saying he has the power to do whatever he wants. You, the governors, dont. He backed off that yesterday. But today, again, when it came to whos in charge, you the governors or him, he said him. Here he is. We have the right to do whatever we want, but we wouldnt do that. We would have the right to close down what theyre doing if we want to do that. But we dont want to do that. I dont think there will be any reason to do that. But we have the right to do that. Does he have the right to do that . I mean, he didnt two days ago. Are you surprised hes now saying, again, he has the right to tell you what to do . Listen, my responsibilities and duties and tools at my disposal as governor dont depend on one interpretation one another and another the next. Youve seen governors on both sides of the aisle take action necessary to protect the people in our states. We will do the same when it is time to reengage sectors of our economy. Our powers are inherent in our offices. Its not something debatable or opinion, its just fact. And what we all need to remember is that we are not one anothers enemy. The enemy is covid19. We all have to be on the same page to beat this enemy and thats precisely what our focus is on as governors across the country. Governor gretchen whitmer, i appreciate your time. Thank you.

Today the death toll from coronavirus rose above 28,000 and state governors across the country crap ld with the question, when, how and to what extent they could try to reestablish some kind of normalcy. Today the state governors also learned something about the president of the United States because once again today the president spent a large part of what has become a substitute for his political rallies the Coronavirus Task force briefing he spent it boasting his accomplishments. Accomplishments hes yet to accomplish and blame. Hes eager to
