Month of june. Matt finn reports from madison, wisconsin, on that protest on going. Whats happening . Its a very large and energized rally here outside, hundreds of people on foot and then cars and vehicles circling. Similar to many demonstrations weve seen across the country in recent days, protesters we talk to here in wisconsin say they understand why the stayathome order is in place here, but they feel the governor is destroying Small Business with the onesizefitsall approach. Wisconsin protesters tell us they are especially upset that Large Chain Stores are open but money locally owned shops are deemed not essential. In wisconsin protesters also tell us they say they are smart enough to safely worship. Theres a lot of things we cant do that should be our choice to do. Because we are common sense individuals, we can come together and say what is the safest way for us to get back together and exercise our freedom of religion and meet together . Im a conservative, but i stand on my o
Confusing situation. Health experts agree that without a vaccine, testing is crucial to reopening the United States safely. And likely that millions will be needed. Vice president pence trying to reassure governors that the federal government is racing to get the supplies needed to conduct those tests in volume. At the same time, the president said hes suspending immigration, thats right, suspending all immigration into this country as the nation battles this crisis, claiming that he will sign an executive order soon. We are in the states that are reopening for business, lets begin with cnns Martin Savidge in atlanta. Martin, as we noted there, georgia has not met the white houses own guidelines here, it is moving forward. Right. Good morning to you, jim. A lot of people here caught off guard by the actions of the governor, not so much that he would ease restrictions, but the aggressive nature that he took of easing the restrictions. He also questioned some of the businesses that are b
Time and time again, correct him. And the fda finally did, as well. The fda last week had to say, dont do this. Causes heart damage. Dont will be to what the president said. Talking about the hydroxychloroquine. Yes. Earlier last week, it was a president s words saying, listen, dont worry. This is probably not going to even come back in the fall. Dr. Fauci had to say, this is going to come back in the fall. Yeah. Then the president , of course, lies about what he did or didnt say on thursday. Hes talking about injection inside. Yes. Of disinfectants. Of course, i cant even believe people that used to be respectable that are now trumpists, actually trying to defend the president and say, well, he really wasnt saying that. And if you look at medical science, et cetera, et cetera. But he was trying to say that. He, once again, is riffing, when he should be following doctors. Even, jonathan lemire, he even lied and made matters worse. My mother used to say, of some people, you know, they l
Concern is over the potential timing of this second wave. Although the Coronavirus Vaccine is probably still going to be a year away, director Robert Redfield is urging americans to get flu shots once they become available. Shots against seasonal flu. Heres why. Dr. Robert redfield tells the Washington Post a second wave o of covid19 may appear as flu season is wrapping up. You would have hospitals dealing with two outbreaks of major respiratory illnesses at the same time. So if people get fascinated against flu and fewer people get sick from flu, that will presumably preserve precious hospital resources for the coronavirus response. Also federal Health Officials say testing and monitoring by then will be improved. We are also hoping by that time that we have additional Treatment Options for people with covid19 so that there will be additional treatment available in the fall. As virginia lawmakers met under a canopy outside the State Capitol this afternoon, demonstrators and cars prote
Study of the drug remdesivir. Listen to this. It is a very important proof of concept. Because what it is proven is that a drug can block this virus. And ill give you an example in a moment of why we think looking forward this is very optimistic. Dr. Fauci notes that this is not a proven treatment but evidence so far very good news. The data shows that remdesivir has a clearcut significant positive effect in d diminishing the time to recovery. This is important for a number of reasons but we think it is really opening the door to the fact that we now have the capability of treating and i could guarantee you as more people, more companies, more investigators get involved it will get better. Lets start with Elizabeth Cohen on this. I was also struck that dr. Fauci compared this moment to a moment 34 years ago when they first saw progress with the hiv drug agt and that was a huge fight against hiv. What do we know about this drug and this trial . Reporter right. It was a huge turning poin
