Redouble their efforts to uncover the origins of the coronavirus, new cnn reporting this morning on exactly what that renewed push evntails. And it became a Rallying Cry in the wake of the murder of george floyd. Why cities across the country are now refunding the police after initially slashing hair bu their budgets. Newsroom starts right now. Ir their budgets. Newsroom starts right now. Good morning to you on this saturday. Im christi paul. And im boris sanchez. You are live in the cnn newsroom. And we begin this hour cuing up the sound track to the unofficial start of summer. Americans On The Road again going places they havent been in a while. And whether it is the beach or a barbecue, both sounding great, and the cdc says if you are fully vaccinated, you are fully protected. Memorial Day Weekend is the first major holiday since the cdc said fully vaccinated people can drop masks, stop social distancing. We all know states have since relaxed their restrictions and well see what impact americas reopening will have on people who have not gotten their shots. A year ago, the Summer Surge that followed Memorial Day, this year the pace of vaccinations hopefully will prevent what was a tragedy there. Yeah, 133 Million people are fully vaccinated right now, that is 40 of the total population. And it includes more than 50 of adults in this country. So millions of people are taking advantage, they are traveling in numbers that we havent seen in a long time. We have our team tracking the Holiday Travel Rush as well. And well start with Polo Sandoval at laguardia airport. We understand that they are busy. It didnt look too bad where you are though. Help us understand what it has been like this morning. We think that majority of those travelers were probably getting to their Destinations Yesterday because at least here at laguardia, it is relatively quiet, only about a five Minute Wait will get you past security. And that also explains why some of the newest tsa numbers that were released suggest that weve broken another Pandemic Era Record just yesterday with the tsa reporting just under 1. 7 million people using Airport Security checkpoints yesterday. That is getting us closer to prepandemic numbers, possibly above 90 of those prepandemic numbers. So that certainly goes to that point that weve heard discussed on air repeatedly that people are now anxious, ready to get back out there, ready to get On The Road yet again. And when you see some of the aaa numbers, they certainly show that. Aaa estimating that we could see a huge spike in travel, up to 37 Million people, that would be a 60 increase over 2020. Robert sinclair of aaa says that people have been cooped up for well over a year now and they are more than anxious to stretch their legs and get back On The Road. A lot of pent up demand, people locked up at home for more than a year. People really want to get out and travel, the socalled Revenge Travel where people are able to save a lot of money because they werent traveling to work last year. And so they are going to places, they are staying longer and doing more things and spending more money. Reporter yeah, and more of that money will probably go towards airfare. Aaa also estimating that weve seen about a 19 increase in airfare this past april compared to april of 2020. And it may not even be that much cheaper to actually drive to your destination since the average cost of a gallon of gas now about 3. We did hear from the white House Yesterday saying that that doesnt surprise them given that increase in demand. But at the end of the day, you hear from are travelers and no matter the price, they are willing to pay it if it means getting out. But of course a big hope is people that are leaving their bubbles and taking to the roads are at least those who are fully vaccinated. You mentioned about 40 of americans now fully vaccinated. A quick reminder, if you are going to be adding to the masses today, dont leave the mask at home. Federal law still requires that people wear masks if they will be using public transportation and that could possibly lead to some Con Fliblflict obviously. There are a lot of people who are not used to wearing that mask. Guys. And weve already seen too much of that. So hopefully it will be a peaceful travel weekend. Polo sandoval, thank you so much. Lets pivot from New York to One Travel Hot Spot that i know pretty well, Miami Beach, where the mayor says that he is worried that too many people might be heading it that way. Natasha chen is there. I hear that there is a lot of traffic both on the street and on the sidewalk. Reporter it is insane, boris. And you are from here, you know what it is like to have visitors just descend on Miami Beach during a holiDay Weekend. On to have the mayor of Miami Beach say that the volume of people is unprecedented, you know it is a big deal. Last night we were trying to drive just a few blocks and it took us about an hour to do that. Of course all the partygoers are probably still asleep right now. There is some concern because of that, the mayor says that the virus is still here. And there is some chaos that ensues with crowds like that, the local residents have been concerned about that as well. But businesses are probably happy to see those dollars coming in. According to the County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Hotel Occupancy for the first time this year is actually now at the same level of the Hotel Occupancy during the same week in 2019. Is so that is a big deal. Dining activity is actually more than a third higher than at this point in 2019. Also according to the convention and Visitors Bureau using open table data. Another industry that is putting a lot of hopes on this Memorial Day weekend is the Movie Theater industry. Those have been closed for so many months during the past year, and yesterday i met a few people who were walking into see a movie for the first time since the pandemic. Coming in and smelling popcorn, seeing all the pictures of the new movies coming out, it feels pretty good to be back. We were just ready to do something relaxing. It is hot outside, Movie Theater seemed like a good place to start. Reporter and the Box Office sales last year really flat lined between march and august when all of them were closed. And it is historically such a big deal for Box Office sales Memorial Day weekend, so they are trying to see if this weekend is an indicator of normal Summer Business to come, that an applies to the Beach Businesses as well. The Air And Sea show is back in Miami Beach. And so while the locals and the mayor are telling everyone to be safe in how they enjoy their time here, of course the businesses are also very happy to see those dollars come back. Natasha chen, enjoy Miami Beach even when youre working, i know. Thank you so much. So publisher of the Oil Price Information service is with us. Tom, good to see you. I know that people will be getting in their car, see that price at the gas station. Will you put it into perspective for us though . We have not been traveling by car a whole lot in the last year. So what does this look like in perspective to other years past . Well, if you go back to 2011 to 2014, Memorial Day weekend, we had Gas Prices between 3. 50 and about 3. 90. So weve been here before. 3 might seem apocalyptic and it is if you live in california where you are about 4. 20. But weve had this kind of inflation. It is not like what were seeing in housing or what were seeing in grains or lumber or whatever. So that is not the problem. I think the problem, and i think this is a little bit of a Weekend Dress Rehearsal for it, is the Supply Chain. You know, that last mile or 200 miles of the Supply Chain for gasoline has been strained and weve lost a lot of the drivers that drive those big transport trucks On The Road. So that when we get high demand, and im not so worried about this weekend, but maybe in july and august, we could see some outages. We could see some places where there are bad pumps. And we kind of had a Dress Rehearsal with the colonial pipeline down. And we saw that the crowd can get apoplectic very quickly. Yeah, there is definitely a panic that sets in if you have to get gas and you are going station after station and you cant get any. But you mentioned the prices in california. Is out west more vulnerable to those higher price than other parts of the country . Yeah. I mean, california and to a certain extent oregon and washington have already acted to try to deemphasize carbon. There is a lot of charges there that are baked into the price of gasoline that are related to carbon suppression. So that is why you pay so much more in california thank you do in the rest of the country. It is kind of the laboratory perhaps for what we may see in the northeast because there is a lot of states that are also looking to come up what they call the low carbon fuel standard. And it is not a free lunch. You have to pay for that. So i dont think that this is going to be a tremendous Pricing Event that we see where People Cant go somewhere because they cant afford it. I mean, last year, we saw people driving about as much as they drove during the Kennedy Administration on easter weekend. So well see demand be very, very lumpy, but the problem comes in july and august if we get problems with supply in the form of hurricanes. So i think that were okay. Weve been at 3. 04 nationally for about a week or so. That is not too painful. I think that we probably drop a little bit in june and then july and august is anybodys guess. So you mentioned the disruption in production and supply. And you also i know you mentioned hurricanes. But you also talked about the Truck Drivers addnd the Fact Th Lot of them lost their jobs or they were sick with covid. So how intense is the lack of drivers right now to transport the fuel . It is pretty sbintense in so places. Here in new jersey, it is not a big deal because you are never more than 50 or 70 miles from a Ro D products terminal. But if you think of the florida keys, where it has to be loaded in the everglades and then it has to go maybe a 10 hour round trip, it can be a problem. It can be a problem for the national parks, places that are very doesnt from the petroleum infrastructure. I dont think that it will be this weekend. Not so much that it is a problem, but if people see a for a station outages, they start to panic. And we have the propensity or we have the capability if Everyone Panics and tops off their tanks, we use about 4 Billion gallons of fuel at that point. Typical demand, about 400 billion. So no Supply System can handle a panic like what we saw a few weeks ago when the colonial pipeline shut down. No doubt. Tom, we appreciate your expertise on this. Thank you for giving us a good lesson this morning. Thanks for having me. Ahead, an onoptimistic messn the battle to eradicate covid19. But it doesnt mean that we can suddenly let our guard down, right . Or is the travel going to be setting us up for another surge is what a lot of people are asking. Well talk about it.

As coronavirus Cases Drop and travel booms, President Biden is celebrating. This weekend he is hitting the road himself to tout the progress the united states has made against covid since he took office. And in delaware, that is where the president is spending memorial weekend. We know jasmine, he made a big Speech Yesterday as he tried to turn the corner from the pandemic. Talk to us about the takeaways. Reporter it was a message grounded in hope and optimism. And it is not something that lot of americans would have thought that they would have heard this time last year, frankly, wint i wouldnt have thought wed hear it. But it show how much the country has grown. And so yesterday President Biden really celebrated the decline in covid cases and the rise in increase in Vaccination Rates. Take a listen. Four months after i took office, were further along in this fight than anyone thought possible. Lets remember where we were 129 days ago. When i took office, we were averaging 184,000 cases per day nationwide. And so many joys of life large and small had been halted by a large dark winter. And today weve gone from 184 cases per day nationwide to fewer than 22 cases 22,000 cases per day. Deaths have dropped by over 85 . Tens of thousands of moms and dads, grand pops and grandma, neighbors, friend, are still with us today who would otherwise have been lost. Reporter so President Biden also used that time to encourage more americans to get their vaccines if they havent already, get those shots in their arms. The White House announced a significant milestone this week. They said that more than 50 of american adults in this country had been vaccinated. Now, of course officials want that number to continue to rise. They identified 160 Million adults fully vaccinated by July 4th as their target. But as more americans start to return to normal, as they start to hit the road, are those rising Gas Prices, and we know that that is something that can be tricky for any administration, so looking to get ahead of it, white House Press Secretary Jen Psaki released a statement trying to put a positive spin on what americans are paying at the pump. And she said that the Administrations Success in beating the pandemic and getting our economy back on track has led to increased demand for gas as the country reopens. But while prices increase from the lows last year, as demand drastically dipped, prices at about 3 per gallon are still well in line with what weve seen in recent decades. Now, this weekend, President Biden will hit the road despite some of this dreary weather. Well see him tomorrow making remarks at a memorgorial day celebration. And monday, he will be in arlington where he will participate in a Wreath Laying Ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Jasmine wright, always good to see you. Joining us now to discuss more about covid is cnn medical analyst dr. Celine gounder, an epidemiologist who served on the biden harris advisory board. Good morning, thanks so much for taking time to chat with us. Some 37 Million americans will be traveling over the holiday and they will be celebrating the first holiday in this country where more than half of americans are vaccinated. Huge difference from a year ago when we saw Cases Sky Rocket after the holiDay Weekend. Are you concerned at all, do you have any concerns about this weekend . I thinks key message here is if you have been vaccinated, you are protected. If you have not been vaccinated, you are not protected. And unfortunately or perhaps fortunately people who have been vaccinated tend to cluster together. People who have not been vaccinated tend to cluster together. So i certainly anticipate that among people who remain unvaccinated, who are traveling and seeing friends and family, that we may well see transmission within that subgroup. There are areas, there are pockets of the country that are still struggling with covid. A new Cnn Analysis found that poorer counties in the united states are lagging this Covid19 Vaccination rates. And they share a pattern. There are lower education rate, lower median incomes, a lack of Internet Access and computers. What more needs to be done to address that inequality . I think this is a really important point. This is a similar pattern we have seen with other infectious diseases say for Example Hiv where in the beginning it might affect the population broadly but then becomes more and more concentrated in poorer communities, more vulnerable communities, communities of color. So we need to be creative about how well reach them. I think one really key one that folks have brought up when they talk about why they cant get vaccinated is paid time off. Paid time off to get vaccinated and also paid time off if they have Side Effects a day or two after that vaccination. And so i think that this is something that the Business Community really needs to step up and help us with and provide their workers with that paid time off. So looking globally now, i want to actually share a quote with you from New York times Opinion Writer Nick kristof. He writes so far leading Country Havent shown leadership in fighting the pandemic globally. American Vaccine Nationalism means that we are hoarding both vaccines and the raw materials to make them and ways that lead to unnecessary deaths abroad and also undermine our own recovery. How concerned are you that the united states is not doing more around the world, and that that approach could lead to new variants . Boris, i am really concerned. You cannot find scarcity with scarcity. We need to be ramping up production of vaccines massively. And for some countries, it could take over a decade in many parts of africa, latin america, asia, it could take other than Oke Ov vaccinate their populations. As you alluded to, the more the virus transmits, even if it is not here, the more itit mutates the more variants that emerge and it has a real impact on the world economy. The ability for folks to purchase our goods and it has an impact on stability. So from a national security perspective, when you have people getting infected, when you look at the images from independent i india, what is happening there, that is massively destabilizing. So this is very much a threat to us even if it is not happening within the u. S. And i want to ask you about a new Kaiser Family Foundation study. They found that most adults who want a Covid19 Vaccine have at least started vaccination. The percentage of american adults now fully vaccinated above 50 , but it is also barely moving up. I dont think that that is the right graphic. But generally speaking when we talk about the numbers, are you discouraged that the Vaccination Rate Isnt climbing up quicker, have we reached the vast majority of people that were going to reach . I think that weve reached the vast majority of people who were really excited about getting vaccinated. You have a lot of people who are still sitting on the fence who have said loorkk, i want to wai six months, a year, just to see how things go with the vaccine. I think that it is going to be a bit challenging to Sconvince Soe of those people. We have seen Vaccination Rates boosted by the fact that 12 to 15yearolds are now eligible. So that has been helpful. But to get to those adults who are still reluctant to get vaccinated, that certainly will be a challenge. And i did want to ask you about booster shots. Obviously a big question is when might we need them. The New York times this Week Quoted Scientists who say that there is new evidence that Bone Marrow has shown to have some immunity that could last for years. How exactly are scientists trying to figure this out . If you could explain to me like im five. Sure. So there are cells in your Bone Marrow that make those antibodies. They remember the infection, they make the antibodies. So even if your Antibody Levels go down, those cells still remember the vaccine. Perhaps even the natural infection. And so when you encounter the virus again, those cells kick into action and they start making the antibodies again. So this is good, it means that just because Antibody Levels may drop over time after vaccination, you still have that memory in your Bone Marrow that is ready to get into action when necessary. Doctor, always appreciate your perspective and time. Thanks again. So President Biden is bringing in the big guns here to track down the origin of covid19.

Were getting new details this morning on why President Biden ordered a 90 Day Investigation in it the origins of covid19. Sources tell cnn the renewed push for answers is designedthe of covid19. Sources tell cnn the renewed push for answers is designed in part to elevate the role of scientific analysis in the process. The shift in Intelligence Gathering comes amidst a report that there is a Treasure Trove of data that still needs to be reviewed. Katie Bo Williams is with us now. Talk to us about what we know they have in front of them. Yeah, so the biden administration, or President Biden himself, has ordered this kind of redoubling down of the effort to find the answer of how this virus came into being in part because of ongoing frustration with the continuing refusal by beijing to allow further investigation by the w. H. O. Into this matter. But in part because the Intelligence Community just still doesnt know. What weve learned this week, they are split in between two main theories of how this virus came into being. One of them is that it developed naturally in the wild jumped from animals to people. And the other one is that it was the subject of research in this lab in wuhan and it escaped into the population through some kind of Lab Leak or lab accident. And they cant definitively prove either one right now. So what is going to be different about this push versus what the Intelligence Community was already doing . Yeah, so up until now, the effort to kind of sort out the Origin Story here has been using traditional intelligence tools. Primarily what they call Signals Intelligence which is enter intercepted communications to try to glean what they are talking about. What biden is doing now is bringing in the national labs which is this collection of 17 Elite Research Facilities that kind of lives under the Department Of Energy because of their ability to crunch massive amounts of data. Right now we dont know exact lid what this big Treasure Trove of data is. We dont know if it is epidemiological information or simply a Giant Trove of intercepted Signals Intelligence that they needed the Computing Power to process. So what is the expectation then that they would have 90 days in . Yeah, it is possible not much. Weve already been told by a white House Official that it is possible that the 90 Day Deadline will get pushed and we do know from our sources that this big trove of data probably is not anything new. It is likely that it is something that the Intelligence Community didnt acquire recently, they sort of had this big backlog of information. But what i hear from many of my sources is that if there is an answer to be found here, it is likely not going to come from traditional intelligence. It is likely going to come from scientists, some of who do work for the Intelligence Community who is searching through the structure, studying the structure of the virus to look for clues as to where it began or how it originated. But what they will find in the next 90 days that they havent been able to uncover or discover in the last year and a half, kind of a big ask. Yeah, especially with china continuously preventing the united states or the wloorld Health Organization from getting the data that they need. Thanks for your time.

Some departments cut from their budgets while others created new programs and invested in changing to policing. But in many of those cities, rising Crime Rates have put the brakes on further reforms. Joining us now to discuss the Police Chief of one of those cities, Chief Armstrong of oakland, california. We appreciate you being with us. It is an important conversation. You started the job in february and you are in a difficult situation, one with many layers. So lets start with the spike in violence crime. After eight years of decline, you had more than 100 homicides last year. And this year as of mid may, youve already seen more than 50. Assimultaneously The City made roughly 30 Million cut from Police Funding last year. Part of that has to do with the movement to defund police. Youve told the East Bay Times that you believe that messaging over defunding police has been a factor in rising Crime Rates. What evidence do you have to support that link . Well, we know from our interactions with those that are involved in violence that they hear the calls for less police. We know that it is causing violence to spike in The City of oakland where we current sit at 57 homicides. So it is important that we prioritize Safety And Sanctity of life and that we all agree that the violence is far too high, in particular Gun Violence and we also know that this is causing tremendous amount of trauma in our community. And so really it is a call to say lets work in a collaborative form not just police but also Community Collaborating on a response to violence crime. And less resources will not make our city safer. And this moment is an opportunity for all of us to be a solution to solving violence crime in The City of oakland. How was it that you had to then reshuffle your department in light of having fewer resources . I imagine that there were less patrols, less overtime, what form did that take . Yeah, the cuts required us to reduce some of our specialized units. Our Cease Fire Team which is our violence prevention team, they had a smaller footprint. And their focus is Gun Violence. So not having those resources had a tremendous impact, not having access to overtime while we see Crime Spikes happening across The City, the inability to deploy Officers City wide. And we had an increase inside Show Activity which is exhibition of vehicles causing problems in our residential areas. So there were several incidents that we were unable to respond to because we didnt have the resources. And so what do you say to people that argue that those resources are better spent in new programs that would prevent violent incidents between police and members of the community where maybe police dont necessarily need to be involved like incidents with people that have Mental Illness or homeless folks, Et Cetera . Ive been very clear that im in support of programs that are alternative response to Law Enforcement. Particularly when were talking about those that suffer from Mental Illness. In oakland, we have taken on a program called macro that will be a nonLaw Enforcement response. And i hope that that program is tremendously effective. I dont know if Law Enforcement is the best response to respond to those suffering from Mental Illness. And so this Alternative Resource will be tremendously helpful for the department as we continue to focus in on the actual violent crime that we see in our community. And there is a unique element in oakland. There was an explosive case two decades ago involving some oakland Police Officers that led to unprecedented federal oversight over your department. And it has directly led to several of your predecessors either having to resign or being fired. There are a lot of Law Enforcement leaders around the country who have been hesitant to see Police Reform at the federal level because they feel that it would lead to more federal oversight over local police. What do you say to those leaders who point to oakland as a reason to argue against reform and more federal oversight . I think in oakland we have a unique situation where we feel strongly that we are a better department than we were 20 years ago. And today our department is one of the most progressive Police Departments in the country. I think that the data that has recently come out through it Cant Wait demonstrates this the kept has had the lowest number of officerinvolved shootings for any city in america. And it also shows that the department has reduced racial disparity if whomg we stop more than any department in the america. And so if that isis a we believe that that is a signal to what weve been doing. And i say to all departments, this is a call for reform across the country. Whether you have to go under some federal oversight or not, i think it is clear that the community would like to see a more transparent police department, a more fair and just Law Enforcement department. And so i think that this is a call for change that all of us as Law Enforcement leaders have to recognize that people want to see something different. Chief armstrong, i want to pivot for a moment and get a Bit Person if youll allow me, and ask me about your brother, andre. He was a sophomore, 16 years old, and he was walking in the halls of his High School when he was shot and killed. It happened in 1985. Just a few days ago an hour down the road from where you are, a gunman killed nine people before taking his own life. As a Law Enforcement officer, as someone who suffered personally from Gun Violence, what would you like to see happen on this issue . Our hearts go out to all of our community in San Jose and Santa Clara as they suffer through a really tragic event of losing thnine lives. What was important for me is in the moment where i was invited to the White House to be a part of President Bidens announcement about new initiatives to address Gun Violence, wochbone of the most important things is trying to limit access to assault weapons. High powered weapons, high powered making magazines. So calls for Gun Control is clear. How many mass incidents do we have to say to say lives matter. And so for me, it reminded me of my own personal loss, but it also reminded me that there has to be a cause for change in this country because no family deserves to get a call saying that their Family Member went to work and no longer will come back home to his or her family. So tremendous tragedies, but these tragedies are happening far too frequently in america and i hope at some point that we respond to it.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the northeast and midatlantic. And allison chinchar, that does not look good. No, it will be a very soggy start to the weekend to many folks today. Mainly on the eastern half of the country. Look at this, up and down the eastern sea board, you have showersi impacting boston, New York, even down into the carolinas. Overall the heaviest rain will be along the coast, 2 to 4 inches is possible. But even farther inland, you could still pick up about an inch of Rain Total over the next couple of days. If that wasnt enough, it is also really cold. Especially for this time of year. Boston, New York, albany, pittsburgh, all of those cities are about 20 degrees below where they normally would be this time of year. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Well start to get the temperatures back up closer to normal by monday, but you just have to bear with it for a little bit. More storms across Northern Florida and also strong to severe storms across eastern colorado, eastern new mexico, portions of texas, damaging winds and even isolated tornadoes. The Time Line there is later this Afternoon And Evening hours. But what about the holiday itself . Monday it will be very hot out to the west. California, oregon, washington all looking at temperatures above normal. And then we focus on the northeast. Still some rain even on the day of itself Memorial Day, but at least the temperatures will start to rebound. Looking at some showers and thunderstorms as well yet again in the portion of the u. S. , that will be three days in a row potentially for strong to severe thunderstorms. Good to know. Thank you.
