welcome back. the outdoor music festival, lollapalooza, kicks off today in chicago. last year they had to cancel the festival. today, miley cyrus set to perform. 100,000 people, a number that was unthinkable months ago. covid cases are on the rise. though they didn t force thefess restrictions. shaquille brewster has more. there s a vaccine passport requirement. i am curious, how well is it being executed and how safe do you feel? reporter: yeah, i tell you, being strictly enforced, chuck. you see the group walking in behind me, first barricade, you hold up your arm, show a wrist band, show you have a ticket to the event. second is a health screening.
City swimming pools are reopening for the Memorial Day weekend, though COVID-19 restrictions will limit the number of children in swim classes, the city of Winston-Salem said.
happens to all different kinds of subsets of these parents and children? we know that 463 of them as of yesterday, and we should probably get an updated number from the hearing as julia was mentioning today, may have already been deported themselves. what happens if you came here with your child, the trump administration separated you, and you re already back in your home country? you re not going to be reunified, that s for ysure, wih your child in the united states. julia, what s so incomprehensible to me is there was no system in place to identify kids and parents to each have the same number or the same wrist band, whatever you want to say, at the point of separation, that that was not in place when this zero tolerance policy was first announced. now that it s been done, and that these kids have been sent all over the country and their parents in separate holding facilities, so why they didn t keep them all in the same region is another, you know, big question.
yeah, it creates a perception. i bumped into a guy if the lobby, and i noticed his wrist band, and he recognized me, and i said, how are you doing? he goes he hesitates, and he goes, i m okay. he goes, we get to live. we get to live. and i just was in tears coming over here, we get to live. it s a mixed blessing because i feel good about that, i get to go home and see my daughter today, and today is my birthday, that s why i was out there, and that s why i came to the festival. when he said that, i had mixed emotions again. we do, but you see what i am saying? i get it.
all people oblivious knowing that fellow americans were hurting and needed help. you know, it just reminds you the inherent decency of man and women when something like this happens. something inspiring does as well. you know, the president made really terrific remarks. i thought he called me personally on my cell phone to say he s coming out here. the question is whether today or tuesday or wednesday. you know, the horror of one person doing this. there were 22,000 people at a country western festival that had been going for three days. of course, it was an outdoor festival. so to keep people and be make sure you can check their wrist band that they bought a talk and weren t some crazed individual, of course we had a metro law
