Many Public Events at National Cemeteries and military parades are cancelled for safety reasons. Two states today with alarming Public Health news. The governor of arkansas announcing his state is already experiencing a second peek of coronavirus infections. Reporting more new cases today than the previous high. That was one month ago. And over in north carolina. Health officials reporting the single highest one day total of new cases yet. More than 1100 people confirmed with coronavirus in north carolina. Just today. Despite those very disturbing figures, many beaches are packed, theyve been packed with people now that every state has relaxed stay at home restrictions, at least to some degree. Many of those beach goers are practicing a social distancing. Others weve seen are not. Theres some serious concern from medical experts about tomorrow. With the potential for very large crowds of people attending sunday worship services. Thats after President Trump declared churches and other houses of worship essential and warned state governors sharply to make sure churches are open on sunday. All of that is happening while the coronavirus death toll just here in the United States climbs steadily toward the unthinkable number of 100,000. People worldwide right now, 5. 2 Million People are infected with the virus. More than 340,000 people have died. That number is probably low. In georgia. Beach towns are bracing for potentially historic crowds over this Holiday Weekend. So far, the flood of beach goers hasnt disappointed in so many places unless, of course, youre a Public Health expert. In which case, all of this is extremely worry some to see. Natasha, what have you seen during the course of this day on tybee island . Are people keeping their distance . Reporter they are keeping their distance between groups. There are some groups that are larger than 10 people, and theyre really supposed to keep it under 10, in fact, we saw a Football Game earlier where there may have been tackling going on. It really depends. Right now youre seeing a lot fewer people than earlier this afternoon. This is what low kroids look like right now, wolf, and we were talking about the fact that ive been wearing my mask, our crew has been Wearing Masks, especially during interviews when we talk to people. We talked to beach goers about precautions like that, and the fact that no one around us seemed to be wearing them. Heres what they said. No, no ones really Wearing Masks out, besides yourself, of course, and your crew. People are going to take precautions however they want. And, you know, its their decision. I believe in jesus thats much larger than any virus that hits this earth. If its my time to go, then its my time to go. A lot of people took advantage to enjoying life today. The tybee businesses have been cash strapped during the shutdown. This town really relies on that income to survive. We talked to local residents who understand that, they appreciate the tourists, but they know it comes at a risk, especially when this local population, some of them are in the vulnerable category, theyre all trying to be very careful and frustrated when they see that the tourists arent abiding by those guidelines. Its after 7 00 p. M. Where you are, so a lot of folks have left earlier in the day, the beach was a lot more crowded . Definitely. We know that low tide has already happened. There will be less and less beach as the hours pass now. Which means its good people are leaving. Tybee island mayor sessions is joining us now. What kind of crowds are you seeing . Are your workers managing, in the course of today to keep things under control . Hello. Thank you for having me. Thinking about the people who have died for our freedoms this weekend, its so important to remember that. We have had a lot of people on tybee. Not sure about the projection last year, we had 14,000 cars coming on the island. We predicted that many or more this year. Just today. As natasha said earlier, the beaches were very crowded. We are fortunate that we our governor was gracious enough to send the department of resources down to help with the social distancing. We appreciate that, he sent the Georgia State patrol and the nighthawk team to make sure that duis and traffic speeding was kept at bay. We have a very active police force that was on top of everything, were fortunate to have Parking Services and the department of public works out in full force. And yet there were a lot of people who do seem to be a bit complacent about the seriousness, were still not sure what this virus is doing. While tybee island residents tend to stay closer to home on these holidays, its tough to determine what type of virus people are taking with them. There were tags from everywhere, car tags from everywhere. When people go back to their home, who knows what types of counts theyre seeing there. We just hope that everybody will be cautious and continue to space distance. And if they are around people, to be cognizant of wearing a mask, if not for themselves, for other people. I know you were wearing a mask when you were down there speaking with natasha earlier in the day. I dont think i see anyone wearing a mask right now, is there any regulation or rule . Or just the recommendation that folks wear masks . Were going with the recommendation of the governor. Governor kemp has put out his rules, and tybee island we dont have the authority to have greater or less rules than the governor at this poib the. I hope people will take personal ownership of their safety and health. Its no surprise. Cdc, Health Officials, they have warned people, you know, repeatedly, what to think. What to look for, what to do. I think people need to take personal responsibility and quit looking at government to tell them what to do and what not to do, to keep themselves, their family, their neighbors and their community safety. I hope people will really think about that. Im hopeful too. I know you were critical of the governor when he reopened the beaches in early april. What are your thoughts now, do you stand by that early criticism . At that time, we were very we were taken off guard, we had done a lot locally to put things in place that were working well. When the governor overturned that, we were taken aback. We have decided to go forward, look at the things we can do to protect our community. Were getting ready to begin the Hurricane Season june 1st. So were looking at plans for preparing for hopefully nothing, but being prepared for the worst. We have a lot of things on our plate that were trying to move forward and take a proactive stand on what we can do. Rather than look back on what we would have liked to have happened. We do thank the governor for what he has given us, and what he has done for us, and we appreciate that. We will need the support of the governor and our local municipalities, and so we want to try to Work Together and most importantly, try to keep our beaches safe, and our communities safe. I know theres going to be a big crowd tomorrow and memorial day as well. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you, wolf. I appreciate it. Some people are flocking to beaches like tybee island, Health Officials are urging a lot of caution. Just how dangerous is it to ignore the warnings, well speak live with a former u. S.

Live pictures coming in from Hollywood Beach in florida in bourd county, i think the beaches are going to formally open this coming week. I think Miamidade County as well. You can see there arent any people on the beach in holtly wood, florida as of right now. Officials and Health Experts are urging people to be cautious, to continue to social distance and wear a mask, in some places those guidelines are falling on deaf ears. Listen to what beach goer in texas told our affiliate, krgv yesterday. Coronavirus dont exist, look. We good, gucci. Look at gucci, no mask. Joining us now, the president of the American Medical Association dr. Patrice harris. Whats your concern right now, as you see so many people gathering together on the beaches, which is understandable, its a memorial day weekend, but you hear a comment like that from one of those beach goers . Well, thank you for having me back on, and certainly, its a good idea to get out, weather permitting, were having great weather here. In atlanta, but even if folks are out, even if they are on the beaches, they must continue to practice good Public Health practices, wear a mask, stay at least six feet apart. Certainly monitor how long you stay in contact with others that arent members of your immediate family. So we want people to be out, we encourage that, but we also encourage continued practice of those good Public Health practices that will serve to mitigate the risk of infection. Whats very worrisome,ing income reported the highest one day increase of covid19 cases, just after phase two reopening began in that state. And Asa Hutchinson says his state is experiencing a second peek. Did these states wait long enough before easing their restrictions . The original recommendations that came from the task force suggested a 14day decline and the number of cases, the number of infections, and certainly we did not see that in every case. And clearly the risk of that is an increase in cases. We were likely to see some increase in cases as restrictions were loosened. And so the key is to make sure you have the appropriate strategy to test and track. And quarantine and isolate as needed. We also have to make sure that data is correct. Weve seen in the last week or so weve had some issues around data and we want to make sure that our medical systems, our hospitals have the capacity, so we certainly have cautioned at the ama against premature reopening, but we are where we are today and we have to make sure we continue to track these numbers and react very quickly. Because we probably would expect some increase, but its a sharp rise that we are really worried about. We certainly are, and what is worrisome, the cdc now estimates that 40 , 40 of coronavirus transmission actually occurs before people even feel sick at all as we see people hitting the beach, not Wearing Masks, is a second wave really possible . Is it inevitable . Well, i think it is inevitable that we are going to have an increase in cases. This is highly trans missible virus. The key is, how sharp the rise is, and are we ready . And can we respond quickly that is what i urge states to continue to do Public Health departments to continue to do, make sure they have the capacity to measure and adapt quickly. We are in control we the royal we in this country, all of us are in control of how big of a wave we get. And that really is whether or not we continue to be willing to follow those Public Health best practices. Polls say we are. And so hopefully most of us optimistically, all of us will continue to do so. We were showing our viewers pictures from earlier in the day over in south carolina, mirlt el beach south carolina, big crowds gathering there. Were still hearing dr. Harris from a lot of nurses and doctors, about what they complain about, a lack of adequate ppe. Do you think the nation is adequately prepared right now for potential spikes and hopefully god forbid a second wave . Well, the need for ppe has been a consistent one, and i think it did get better, and again, thats part of the preparation. So clearly we were not prepared at the beginning, but now as the time as we again are seeing some decline, but you noticed in a couple states, were seeing an increase, and so we have to do more than one thing at a time. And we have the capacity to do so, we have to prepare and one piece of the preparation is making sure that everyone, Health Care Workers certainly, but those other essential workers who are out there, have the equipment that they need, and so again, whatever it takes this is an all hands on deck approach. If we need of course, if the president , the Administration Needs to ramp up production using dpa, that is something weve recommended from the beginning. And we should be tracking the availability of supplies too, it is about having a National Strategy on all fronts, and until we do so, we are at great risk of continuing to be unprepared. Ill prepared. Were always grateful for your expertise, thank you for joining us. Thank you.

As the country reopens on this Holiday Weekend, the virus and how people are reacting to it certainly has become a very political issue. As it relates to Public Health. Listen to this. Violating my Constitutional Rights whether its ideological other political or something around mask versus no mask. This is a i would say senseless dividing line. If someone is wearing a mask, theyre not doing it to represent what Political Party theyre in. They may be doing it because they have a 5yearold child whos been going through cancer treatments. Strong words, lets discuss with david axelrod. What do you make of the politicized response were seeing across the country to the virus. Well, looks, its fitting into the kind of template, the model of our politics that weve seen for some time now, and that the president has driven which is a very cultural divide, those who say they dont want government telling them what to do, versus those who are apt to respond to the advise of Public Health experts, heres the thing about this. This is not a partisan virus, it doesnt choose democrats or republicans or independents. And it really doesnt chose localities. There was a myth at the beginning that somehow this was a problem for large urban areas, thats where it began. But now we see it migrate iing o smaller communities around the country. In the south and midwest. If you huang the to put a political lens on it, most of these areas are areas where donald trump was a winner in 2016. So were in this peculiar position where hes urging people to resist the guidance of his own government and local governments, and at the same time, were seeing a surge of cases in those very areas where people are most apt to take his direction. And we heard the republican governor of arkansas say hes bracing for a second wave in his state, down in arkansas and north carolina, new numbers just out today, very disturbing. Back in 2016, you remember this well white suburban women helped donald trump win the white house about some people are now calling this group zoom moms because of their use of onlining meet ups. The president is in serious danger of losing their support. What does the Biden Campaign need to do to win over these voters . This is really important, one effect of the virus is youre not going to be able to do the kind of traditional organizing and door knocking face to Face Campaign were used to. It puts a premium now on digital campaigning. And particularly relational campaigning, where your supporters are reaching out to their friends and their associates and urging them to join in the campaign. And the fact that these socalled zoom moms who are very much tilted in bidens direction have become fluent in using this technology, has become important for the Biden Campaign. Lets talk about what the president declared this week, he said that houses of worship are seth all around the country. They must remain open, he said, that he would overrule the governors, any governor if the governors decided that for safety reasons they need to be closed. What was your reaction to that . First of all, he cant overrule the governors, i think that was posturing on his part, as a political play, it was a pretty shrewd political play, it was a cynical political play in my view, of course people want to go to their houses of worship, and theyre missing that opportunity. But these have been places where weve seen the virus spread rapidly, because people are close together, they often touch each other, and so it is dangerous, but for the president whose base was so heavily in the white evangelical community, he got 80 of the vote in 2016, this is a big play for them, saying forget about the directives, wen watt to get people back in those pews. I saw it as a political maneuver on his part. David alex rod, thank you for your political expertise. Helping us here in the situation room. Thank you. Be careful out there. People are flocking to beaches in some parts of the country. Country. One area has a and me. The worlds best, and possibly only, schmelier. Philadelphia. Schmear perfection. Thats why ive got the power of 1,2,3 medicines with trelegy. The only fdaapproved, oncedaily 3 in 1 copd treatment. With trelegy and the power of 1, 2, 3, im breathing better. Trelegy works 3 ways to open airways, keep them open, and reduce inflammation for 24 hours of better breathing. Trelegy wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Trelegy is not for asthma. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high Blood Pressure before taking it. Do not take trelegy more than prescribed. Trelegy may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. Call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. Think your copd medicine is doing enough . Maybe you should think again. Ask your doctor about oncedaily trelegy. We know times are hard and were here for you. Find support at trelegy. Com. To have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. No way. More exercise. More water. And more fiber is the only way to manage it. Is it . Maybe you think. Its occasional constipation. Maybe its not. It could be a chronic medical condition called ibsc, and time to say yesss to linzess. Linzess works differently than laxatives. It helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If its severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Change your thinking to ibsc. If your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss to linzess. 234 new york state, the coronavirus numbers are improving on this memorial day weekend. The news is good news. It has been good news, but every day is a new day, and its good to see it continuing, the number of hospitalizations are down. The change in hospitalizations is down. The intubations is down, the number of new cases new covid cases walking in the door, which is a very important number, thats down. And the number of lives lost is down to 84. 84 is still a tragedy, no doubt, but the fact that its down as low as it is is really overall good news. This time of the year, the beaches of long island are usually very favorite haven for a lot of people that live and work in new york city. This Holiday Weekend its locals only as officials remain wary of crowds descending on their shores amid this pandemic. Laura kern is joining us right now, also, the former u. S. Surgeon general is with us, author of a very important new book entitled together, the healing power of human connections in a sometimes lonely world, i recommend it highly. Laura kern let me start with you, you signed legislation to keep beaches closed to nonresidents. Why did you think that was necessary right now . Well, because we have to do 50 capacity at our beaches, i think its fair, since were at 50 , to give the people who pay the taxes priority. What do you think, when you see these big crowds, we saw some big crowds in georgia, south carolina, elsewhere, parts of florida, whats your reaction as the former Surgeon General of the United States . Well, i must say, wolf, on the one hand, i absolutely understand peoples desire to get out there, summers coming, many people have been in their homes for several months. And they want to get out, my concern is that we are still not seeing the criteria met for opening up in many states. Weve been told by the cdc and the white house, that we need to see 14 days of declining cases, thats not the case still in many states, what were seeing now as we open up, is that while some states are stagnating in terms of new cases, others are getting worse. Were seeing minnesota, north carolina, alabama, wisconsin and other states with increasing numbers of new cases. So we still need toe distance, we still need to wear masks and observe hand hygiene, and we have to be cautious because were learning more about this dangerous virus. How did it go today . You have beautiful beaches on Nassau County on long island. What are you bracing for tomorrow and monday . You know, we do have beautiful beaches here, were right next to new york city. Nation saw county is one of the two counties on long island. A lot of people live here because of the beach. Beautiful sandy, south shore beaches. New england cut type beaches on the north shore, and we always have a very robust season, our transportation season last year was wonderful, one for the books, obviously its going to be different this year. While new york city is they have different capacity issues, different density issues, people go to the beach on public transportation. Its harder to enforce the 50 right now, as the city plans for that and gets to a place where they feel comfortable, then we can open up the requirement and anyone is welcome to our beaches. It makes sense because were stuck at 50 for now, that we should give our resident thes the first crack at going to the beach. Now, today was rainy, i have to say, it was a crappy day for the beginning of memorial day weekend, but were expecting sung tomorrow, and monday and i know people are itching to get out, theyve been stuck inside, and they want to get some fresh air and sunshine. And in Nassau County where you are, laura, are churches going to be open tomorrow in as the president is demanding . Yes, im hearing that houses of worship have protocols in place, only 10 people. We have a growing orthodoxed Jewish Community here in long island. We need a minion of ten men. If there are hundreds of people in a church or a synagogue or a mosque, thats a very different thing, right . Yes, and the greater the numbers in terms of the crowd size, the greater the risk is, what else matters is what youre doing in those crowds, what we have seen in the past is that when people are in groups and theyre singing together, that can actually create increased risk of spread, because when you sing, youre spreading viral particles more forcefully than when youre having conversation. The truth is here, that we want to get back to our way of life, we want to do it safely. But theres some circumstances where its hard. Finally, it comes back to this point around testing, wolf, if we want to open up safely, so many of those roads run through testing. Thats how we know where the infections are, where we need to concentrate on limiting spread. Without testing, we are running blind. Earlier today, you tweeted this. Our residents have done a great job following the rules so far, they get it. Are they Wearing Masks . Are they standing six feet apart, social distancing . Are they wearing gloves . Are they doing those kinds of things based on what youre observes on long island . You know, i have to say, i have been so impressed with our residents, they really handled this so well, our lives are turned up side down. This is taking a huge toll on other downtown on our momandpop shops. By and large, people get it. We get complaints to the fire marshalls about potential overcrowding. A lot of those complaints are unfounded. Usually they find that people get it, you just need a gentle reminder, just a little bit of education, and they get it, they do the right thing, when youre unite and about, you see people with face coverings, you see them standing six feet apart. People arent stupid, they get it. I hope so. Dr. Mur think, you heard the news that arkansas and north carolina, theyre experiencing new highs, Asa Hutchinson warning today of a second wave emerging right now. Should we all be bracing for more of that . Well, i think it is worrisome, and we have to be prepared this could get worse, as people get back to their ways of life, especially if we dont have all of the precautions we need in place, and if we dont have the testing in place to know where the infections are rising again, we are already worried that in the fall that there may be a second spike. And in combination with flu season that will make for a very difficult situation for hospitals. Finally, we just have to remember that this is a new virus. We have to approach it with a great deal of caution and humility. We thought in the beginning this is about a disease that affected your lungs, it turnings out, it affects your kidneys, heart and other organs, we thought it was symptomatic people that could spread, it turns out asymptomatic people are spreading as well. We need testing, without it we are flying blound and we cant keep people safe the way they deserve. 40 of the infections may be coming from people who have not shown any symptoms at all. So far, as usual, thank you so much for joining us, laura kern good luck out there on long island. I appreciate both of you joining us. Thank you, wolf. Thank you.

And russia, in the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus. More than 330,000 people in brazil have now been infected. Just yesterday, brazil reported a Record Number of cases, only 24 hours just over 20,000 new confirmed coronavirus cases in one day. Nick payton walsh and his team are on the ground in sao paolo for us, theyre getting a haunting look at the fight on the front lines. A disturbing jean, and hospitals and the brazilian president for whatever reason seems to continue to downplay this entire crisis. Yeah, he used to call it a little flu, hes talked more about this being a war, but hes still pushing hydroxychloroqu e hydroxychloroquine, the drug the president of the United States is using despite studies that it may be harmful. The latest numbers put brazil with 347,000 cases, that makes it the second worst affected country in the world, vying with russia the last 24 hours, back and forth as they release numbers for top position. Even the best equipped icus, hospitals here are running out of beds. Sao paolo, the biggest city and hottest spot for the coronavirus in brazil, the deathly quiet, no new patients arriving on ambulances, is not a good sign. In fact, it spells the worst. And already this enormous icu and been tween the beds there is a sense of anxiety about what lies ahead. Doctors here have heard the president dismiss the disease as a flu. One of the nurses died two days ago. Inside this room is one of the teams doctors on a vent larlt. And another has tested positive to this day. We have never lost a colleague in this intensive care before. Yes, its not a flu. Its the worst thing we have ever faced in our professional lives. You worried for your life here . Yes. Reporter its a virus that stifles and silences but suddenly here there is commotion. One patient, a woman in her 40s, has had cardiac failure. This is the only thing keeping her alive. But after about 40 minutes, its clear she cant survive. The body is cleaned, the tubes that kept her alive, disconnected and shes wheeled out. The space will be needed. It all happens so fast. It leave as long scar. A scene so different from president ial rallies, masks now common much of the time. But wealth put before health. We have to be brave, he says, to face this virus. Are people dying . Yes, they are and i regret that. But many more are going to die if the economy continues to be destroyed because of the lockdown measures. The hills are not ready for a recession. Endless fresh graves for the dead that seem to never stop arriving. Now, you would have had to remember the numbers for 347,000 of confirmed cases and 21,000 dead are what they know is happening . And they only give tests to three people with three confirmed symptoms, which means they often only get a positive if theyre at the reasonably advanced stages of the disease. Whiem its behind the United States, its not testing with the same universality. The peek is possibly one to two weeks away. Remember also that summer is coming to an end, were moving to autumn and winter. And as you can guess, normal flu season could be an accentuating factor. And amidst all of this, theres a big story. The president of brazil lashing out at local leaders, even using profanity in this newly revealed video from a cabinet meeting. Lets give our viewers a look. Watch this. Translator what they want is our freedom. That is the truth. Those guys did [ bleep] and that manure from rio de janeiro, among others, its exactly that. They took advantage of the virus. And the one digging mass graves, hes a pieces of [ bleep] so, what so infuriated him . In short, that video is released by the supreme court. The authenticity has not been doubted but he says it doesnt really incriminate him in police investigations. The key thing about the coronavirus investigation is one, you see how his inner circle speak to each other. And hes targeting the local official whose have put in lockdown measures and asked the population to wear mask. Sao paulo is getting a large number of cases. The mayor of manas is in the middle of the amazon, remote still, though, possibly the worst effected city in the country as well. Its mayor has been digging large number of graves to deal with the vast number of casualties theyve got from this outbreak. And as youve heard the profanity being used to describe the people working to save lives of ordinary brazilians. This part of the continuous political intrigue that continues to battle every administration.
