Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine were more likely to develop abnormal heart rhythms or die. Hydroxychloroquine, try it. If things dont go as planned its not going to kill anybody. Welcome to new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Thank you so much for being with us as we say hello to all of you in atlanta and around the world now. For the first time in at least ten weeks all 50 states are in some capacity reopened now. Of course its memorial day weekend. The unofficial start of summer. Health experts now concerned that these large gatherings may lead to a spike in cases. After weeks under lockdown millions of people across the country will be allowed to get out and enjoy the weekend outdoors across the country. Beaches on each coast are reopening. Businesses have opened their doors but the president wants more even though the majority of states already allow houses of worship to hold gatherings hes calling governors to open churches deeming them essential and says he has the authority to override governments if they continue to follow his recommendation. Hydroxychloroquine, a drug that President Trump has touted and taken is linked to an increased death in coronavirus patients. I want to start with polo sandoval. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, guys. Even for 6 00 a. M. On a Holiday Weekend the street of new york city are relatively quiet. Today that will change. Well slowly begin to see a few more people out. As we heard from authorities its expected americans across the country will be heading outside. When you hear from dr. Anthony fauci, its okay. However important not to throw caution to the within. This warning coming as the death toll number of covid related deaths in the country near 100,000. President trump insists the nations houses of worship must reopen this weekend. On. Friday he deemed them essential before the cdc unveiled new guidance for communities of faith. The president also said he would override states that resist, though its not clear if he has any authority to do so. Some of the nations governors reminding the commanderinchief that reopening decisions fall on the states. Its the governors decision. Thats why he said cdc guidance comes out, take a look and see whats possible. Reporter this weekend mark the symbolic start of summer and a major test for beach side communities that have been preparing for crowd. Many beaches are open on the east and west coast though you can expect social distancing restrictions and capacity limits to be in place. Im excited. I think its good. People need to be outside and enjoying what nature has given us. Weve been cooped up inside for so long. Nice to get outside and get a little work in. Reporter for florida residents only beaches in hardhit areas like Fort Lauderdale and Miamidade County will stay closed. Some Southern States could see a spike in. Covid19 cases, another round of reopenings just in time for this Holiday Weekend. South carolina theme parks are open again. As are bars in texas. Limited capacity and dancing discouraged. We have to do a lot of extra precautions we didnt do before. Increased sanitation. Hand sanitizing station. Our staff has to wear masks. Reporter overall its okay to venture away from home. Under you can go out. You can be outside. Can you play golf. You can play tennis with marked balls. Can you go to the beaches if you stay six feet apart. But remember that that is your space and thats a space you need to protect and ensure youre social distransfrom others. Reporter the white house is expressing concerns over the region seeing a high number of covid cases, places like electrocute, chicago and washington despite stayathome orders. New york city has not entered any sort of phase of reopening yet. Experts say that will be the last region to do so based on the numbers that were seeing here. But in the meantime new yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo easing restrictions at least slightly here this week as he issued this for memorial Day Celebrations as long as its no more than ten people. Polo sandoval there in new york. Thank you so much. So a lot of religious gatherings is up to states, local officials and religious leaders at the end of the day. A majority of states are slowly allowing religious services to resume in some form already. There are three states that have not but President Trump says he wants houses of worship back open this weekend and that he will override he promises governors who do not do so. Lets go the white house now. Kristen holmes is there. Weve heard from the president before that he will overstep or override governors if he doesnt like their decision. He hasnt done it yet. Whats the weight behind this . Reporter thats a good question, victor. We simply have not been able to find any weight behind this and the white house hasnt been able to identify any power that President Trump has to do this. As you mentioned this is really just the latest in this back and forth between federal and state powers, between President Trump and governors. Doesnt feel like we were just having this exact same conversation a few weeks ago when President Trump said he was in control of recopping the country. Of course that ended up not being true and governors have taken it upon themselves to quickly open or slowly open their economies as they see fit. But, again, same conversation. Take a listen to how President Trump phrased this when hes talking about these places of worship. The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important earthbound places of faith to open right now. For this weekend. If they dont do it i will override the governors. Reporter again, i will override the governors. Very similar language that we heard before. All this is coming as the cdc is warning of high transmission rates at church events. However, the cdc did put out some guidelines and i want to pull them up here for our viewers as we head to the weekend as they know what the top Health Agency is promoting. Promote social distancing. Limit sharing objects. Clean daily. Provide soap and sanitizers all things viewers should think about as they head to those Faith Services this weekend. I want to talk to you about this hydroxychloroquine study that came out saying the drug is very dangerous if you take them. President trump yesterday saying, what have you got to lose . Go ahead and try it. How did dr. Deborah birx try to balance or reconcile two very different and opposing viewpoints on hydroxychloroquine . Reporter this has become part of her job, really, to strike this balance between President Trump and top Health Officials. I want to note its not just that President Trump has been promoting this drug, on monday he said he himself was taking it, he had been taking it for about a week and a half to ward off coronavirus. Heres how deborah birx referred to the drug and the study. She joins a sea of Health Officials in this statement. I think the fda has been very clear on their website about their concerns about hydroxychloroquine, particularly when its combined with another drug. Theres still control studies going on for preexposure p prophyl prophylaxis. I hope everybody loose at those comorbidities. Kind of striking that balance, these studies are still going on. However, the fda had made clear that there are some serious concerns with taking this drug. Of course, again, this comes after that study came out shoipg that people who took the drug had a higher risk of death. Kristen holmes, appreciate it so much as always. Dr. Birx also says that everyone should feel comfortable leaving their homes but take precautions this memorial day weekend. Reporter sun, fun and coronavirus. How safe are we as summer past times beacon . Even the Great Outdoors epidemiologists warn nothing is without risk. Everything we do has risk attached to it. Reporter this month a report published by the proceedings of National Academy of Sciences Says when it comes to covid19 speech droplets generated by asymptomatic carriers is the likely mode of disease transmission. Asymptomatic insfeks a big driver of spread of disease and were still learning things about it. Reporter ann is a virus hunter a renowned ucla epidemiologist who has spent decades researching in the congo to assess out the next virus and how it transmits. Everybody should be staying as far apart from each other as they can and Wearing Masks which will reduce spread of droplets. Reporter is six feet of distance enough . A new computer model suggests it may not be. An engineering study of a computer model shows a light breeze could carry some droplets as far as 18 feet. Any data is important to consider. Literally gathering data in realtime to understand what were doing today and tomorrow. Reporter it still isnt no George Howell infectious those droplets could be. Your risk of getting it outdoors is very small. Reporter the computer model has not been scientifically tested in real life scenarios. What has been tested how far droplets can go in real life. This is a National Institutes of health experiment. Normal breathing without a mask under highly sensitive laser light no droplets. But when you speak droplets light up. Produces a large number of droplets. Reporter a cough indoors. Scientists at Florida Atlantic university showed without a mask droplets can spread 12 feet with a simple mask the droplets still spread but far less. Unfortunately for summer sports fans enthusiastic cheering can spew droplets further. The virus might move from one fan to another. Its like a fivestar hotel for the virus. Reporter the cheering and high fives may defeat the effort to control the virus which explains the idea for playing in empty stadiums. A stadium is like an adult preschool. Sure a lot of secretions depending on what you buy at the concession stand. People lose their ini had busine inhibition. Reporter theres no evidence the virus can spread in pool water. Social distancing is key. Well be coexisting with this virus for a longtime, maybe forever. Reporter were all sick of being cooped up and theres an expectation a lot of folks will show up on memorial day. Were outside, for example, the rose bowl here in pasadena. A lot of people are walking and running this loop and trying to get some exercise with the kids as well. The key every epidemiologist we talked to is wear a mask and try to stay as far from people as possible. Is that your best bet to keeping yourself safe and others safe. Thanks so much. Another big company is turning to bankruptcy to deal with the Economic Impact of covid19. The rental car company hertz. It said the drop in travel demand was sudden and dramatic and cost them in revenue anticipate future bookings. Doesnt mean hertz is going out of business, they are restructuring their debt. They cut 12,000 jobs in north america and furloughed another 4,000 workers. The cdc issued these new guidelines for religious institution that want to reopen this weekend despite the growing up of covid19. Plus the uss roosevelt is back at sea with a new commander after more than 1100 carrier personnel tested positive for coronavirus. How does he plan to protect the sailors.

Their stories live on at ancestry. 18 minutes past the hour right now and some churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious institutions are reopening this weekend even though they are already allowed to hold gatherings of some kind in most states. President trump called them essential yesterday and called on governors to reopen the institutions for services. Now the cdc has released new guidelines for religious institutions that to reopen right now. Our cnn analysis found currently there are three states in which houses of worship are closed still. Keep in mind large gatherings like those in houses of worship have been linked to clusters of outbreaks, just to be clear. Lets discuss this with our physician, dr. Matthew. So good to see you. Lets go over these guidelines real quickly so Everybody Knows the cdc saying they want to limit the size of gatherings, increase ventilation in these churches and synagogues, consider social distancing, disinfect frequently touched surfaces between services, like hymnals and shared objects and encouraging cloth face coverings. The president announced this yesterday. Whats your level of concern these houses of worship are prepared to do so . So, you hit it right on the nail. The big question that i have as a medical professional would be the same question i would have if people walked into an auditorium to watch a sports event, people walking into a salon. Now with churches lets remember every church has a different size in terms of congregation. What i do worry about is large numbers of people entering tight spaces, you know, singing, talking, are they going to definitely make sure that people are not hugging, shaking hands. What will the size of the congregation be . Will they hold Different Services . These are the type of questions that i would have specifically about churches reopening. And i think whats important, like i said so many times, we have to find what that new normal is but that new normal should still follow guidelines. Let me ask you this. The cdc guidelines, Elizabeth Cohen yesterday made the point and shes worked with the cdc for years that they are usually more direct more pointed with their guidance. When you hear encouraging cloth masks, or, you know, you should consider social distancing, what do you make of that verbiage . Does that stand out to you as well . Im uncomfortable like Elizabeth Cohen said when you use the word consider. Theres nothing about considering a certain activity that must happen. With the pandemic and weve heard about all the guidelines, a lot of states are expecting surges, especially as people go back out there, and they start opening back up again. So i think that the language should be clear so theres no misunderstanding by the church and the members of the church. Definitely for sure six feet or more. Wearing a mask, absolutely, i think should be mandatory. And i think the guidelines need to be a little bit more direct and clear. Okay. Hydroxychloroquine. The there was a published report there was a large observational study that covid19 patients treated with these drugs were more likely to die or develop some cardiac issues, dangerous irregular heart rhythms than those not treated with the drugs. Lets listen to dr. Deborah birx here talking about hydroxychloroquine. Theres still controlled trials going on both for prophylactic and preexposure prophylactic as well as controlled trials looking at hospital setting, how these drugs do and i think those are still pending. So this study, is this bottom line for you regarding the indication that hospitals should stop using the drug for the treatment or as dr. Birx asserts is there space for more trial results and therefore more deliberation about this . So, this is the first largest study that came out yesterday that included over 90,000 patients. This is a huge study. The prior studies that we had regarding hydroxychloroquine have been smaller studies and those studies just said that we dont show that theres any benefit to taking hydroxychloroquine. Thats the key word from the prior study. This latest study that included 90,000 patients are saying that theres harm, that patients who take hydroxychloroquine are increased risk for having these heart arrythmia, one is ventricular cardio and increases your risk of death. So this is not a medication that patients should be using. Just to mention what dr. Birx alluded to, theres a trial currently going on for front line workers as to whether they would be a benefit to taking the medication as a prophylactics. Meaning can i take the medicine every single day, one pill a day to prevent me getting the infection with covid19. Now that is going on currently. So thats the results were waiting for. Always appreciate your insight and expertise. Thanks for being with us. Thank you.

Arrythmi the uss Theodore Roosevelt is back at sea for the first time in almost two months during the coronavirus pandemic. Last month the Commanding OfficerBrett Crozier was relieved after a stronglyworded letter he sent to Navy Leadership his concern was leaked. 1100 personnel on that ship have tested positive for coronavirus. Now the man who replaced him, captain Carlos Sardiello. This is his first interview since taking the role. Im asking him how sailors aboard the roosevelt are safe and the psychological element how does he make sure they are confident in safety procedures. To ensure that the sailors are safe to do the mission and to operate in the carrier environment we certainly have to address the covid threat, and in that weve gone through a rigorous process to ensure that every sailor is tested multiple times, that they are free from symptoms and that we have cleaned the ship from bow to stern, seven stories up, seven stories down before they got here to provide a clean environment. We maintained rigorous protocols that require medical screenings by doctors and coremen at least once a day. If anyone has even the slightest symptom of a cold then they are going down to medical and being screened. We have robust testing capability on board to test for covid, if thats necessary. And so here we are at sea wthat capability in action. How do they feel about it . Well, its messaging. Tell them exactly what is expected, what is the mission, how were protecting them and they have a part in this and they understand that line of effort is covid prevention, mitigation, strategy that has been in effect since day one that i got here. So we one that there have been 13 sailors who tested positive who were once positive then isolated, then tested negative and again now positive. Theres also the concern of social distancing with berthing compartments that are tight, meshaals that are tight. How do you enforce social distancing and whats the concern of a single test may prove they are negative at that time but how often should there be testing . So, regarding the few sailors that were reported to be positive, they were identified by our protocols and then removed from the ship as an over abundance of caution. Those were previously positive sailors. So im happy to report that today we continue to have no new positives on board. The social distancing, were leveraging our situation right now as we build our readiness with Pilot Landing carrier qualifications, we are not required to bring the entire crew out. So we have Additional Space that were using to increase that social distancing in addition to our standard measures of spreading out in the dining areas, the common areas, one way traffic around the ship and then the contact cleaning. So in this care qualification phase we have a lot of room and spreading out. The berthing areas as well. Weve segregated them by watch sections, cohorts we call it so that were compartmentalized and if we need to respond we can identify that quickly and then move, treat, isolate sailors, decontaminate if necessary. Other than drills which we executed frequently and in accordance with our procedures we stand ready to do that. Again right on mission and everything is going according to plan. Captain Brett Crozier was relieved of command after it was deemed that he exercised extremely poor judgment for a memo calling for some Decisive Action when there were a few dozen case. He called for the ship to be evacuated, eventually there were more than 1,000 covid positive cases on board the roosevelt, 4,000 sailors that were evacuated as you know. Whats the threshold for you to call for some Decisive Action. Is there a number you see if theres 50 cases or 75 cases or 100 cases youll have to return to port . Im not going to speculate in the details of our protocols, but suffice to say they are set up to ensure that if theres even one case that were addressing that and its isolate, quarantine, treat and if the opportunity presents itself to medevac. In that there are contingency plans from no case to one case and then multiple cases so we can respond. I think where we are now, with everything thats been learned about covid wthe equipment and the training that we have, particularly these types of protections that we have on board, sail or to sailor transmission, if you cant get from one to number two its not going anywhere. So thats the foundation but we can respond and. Test and isolate people if necessary and, again, were drilling and practicing to that on a regular basis. Our thank to captain Carlos Sardiello and our thank to everyone on board the uss Theodore Roosevelt for your services especially during this difficult time. Christopher wray is ordering a review into michael flynn. In statement wray said they will look for misconduct and try to fine any improvements that could be made to fbi practices.

In denmark the government is speeding up its reopening plan following a steady decline of coronavirus hospitalization. Now students are going back to school in churches and in grave yards. Cnns Fred Pleitgen has the latest from copenhagen. Reporter math lessons from the pulpit. When this cool didnt have enough space for all kids because of physical distancing rules the local church became a classroom. Students dont mind. Its different but i like it. We learn a lot. Reporter to when their statistic lessons they need a place with lots of numbers so they just moved to the churchs grave yard. Denmarks government is encouraging as many lessons as possible outside, the teacher says. We have to study statistics and math so instead of doing it inside the school now we can use the cemetery. They can collect data and we can work with it and they get much more curious. Reporter denmark is rapidly reopening its cools under va strict hygiene measures. Arrival times are staggered so there arent too many kids at school at once. You wont see students or teachers wearing havings. Instead here at this cool in copenhagen they use police tape to make sure students dont cross. And they wash their hands and sanitize at least every two hours, a new experience for many. It is a little hard to get used to, when you get used to it, it definitely feels more normal. Reporter with that concept denmark first brought the youngest students back to school and now the older ones as well. The head of secondary education at the school says the key to making it work is trust in kids to be responsible. If you follow the guidelines, given, if you keep distance, you make sure you watch your hand, keep sanitizing, coughing in your sleeve and not in your hand so, on and so forth, i think well be safe. Reporter with many parents fearing for their kids safety, the Danish Government worked with parents and teachers groups to build support for the plan. The countrys Education Minister tells me. Without that dialogue, i think many people would have felt it wasnt safe to send children to school. I think the guidelines woe have made wouldnt have hit the target and then woe have outbreaks in different schools and that would have made other parents uncertain about the situation. Reporter opening cools does not appear to have led to a spike in Coronavirus Infections in denmark and while some might find math lessons on a grave yard a bit awkward well so far danes say their way of bringing cool back is working. Fred pleitgen, cnn, copenhagen, denmark. Now lets talk about colleges.
