Wave of coronavirus. Coming to you live from cnn headquarters in atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the United States and the around the world, im natalie allen, this is cnn newsroom. Thank you so much for joining us. While the number of coronavirus cases rises in the u. S. And the world, donald trump is spending the weekend at the president ial retreat in camp david, maryland. He is under fire from his predecessor for his leadership or lack thereof in this crisis. But first, lets take a look at the numbers for you. According to Johns Hopkins university, almost 1. 5 million covid19 cases have been confirmed in the u. S. Thats about one third of all cases worldwide. 88,000 people here in the United States have died. Meantime, in a virtual commencement message to the class of 2020, former u. S. President , barack obama, said the countrys leaders arent even pretending to be in charge. He never mentioned President Trump by name, but it was clear who he was talking about. Doing what feels good, whats convenient, whats easy, thats how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of socalled grownups, including some with fancy titles and important jobs still think that way, which is why things are so screwed up. Obamas former Vice President who is trying to replace trump took to twitter, joe biden saying donald trump is, quote, wholly unfit to lead the country. The Trump Administration is firing back. It is defending the president s handling of the virus, saying that he kept those numbers from being higher. Cnns Jeremy Diamond has more on the war of words. Reporter well, for the second time in two weeks, former president obama is speaking out against the Trump Administrations response to the coronavirus. This time speaking up publicly. More than anything, this coronavirus has pulled back the curtain that so many in charge know what theyre doing. Reporter he called the response an absolute chaotic disaster. We are hearing from kayleigh mcenany. She said President Trumps unprecedented kroichbs response has saved lives. His early travel restrictions and quarantines protected the American Public while his Paycheck Protection Program and direct assistance to americans. Now that last line of that statement about a depleted stockpile is something that President Trump and his aides have been repeatedly been bringing up as theyve been defending their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. While certain items in that National Stockpile had not been restocked by the previous administration, it certainly was by no means depleted and President Trump had been in office three years before coronavirus arrived in the United States. But President Trump, while he has not directly responded to his predecessor, he has been leveling other allegation, something that hes been calling obamagate, making evidencefree claims against his predecessor, suggesting he is trying to discount his presidency. Some of his loyal allies trying to find a way to advance that latest conspiracy theory. Jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. Lets talk about the pandemic now and states opening up. It has been three weeks since the state of georgia, right here, began allowing businesses to reopen. It was one of the first states to take that leap. Recently, the number of new cases has bounced up and down day to day, but in the big picture has remained relatively steady. Natasha chen reports from right here in atlanta. Reporter here in atlanta, georgia, a lot of people are starting to come back out to businesses that have been reopening over the past three weeks. What we are seeing is the good news. There hasnt been a major spike in daily new cases, but the bad news is there also hasnt been a decrease in new cases either. There are some places taking advantage of being allowed to reopen their dining rooms. The governor of georgia relaxed some of the rules for restaurants this past week. Now ten people can gather at a table instead of just six. But not everyone is taking advantage of opening their dining rooms. For example this restaurant is doing take out only at the window with people being able to take their food to a table. So restaurant openers awners ar this very carefully, and there are people who have been observing over the past three weeks being cautious with their families. We met one family that came out for the first time in almost three weeks. Its actually really scary. Its not like coronavirus is over. And everybodys saying, i washed my hands, i have hand sanitizer, im going to be okay. But youre still going to be around people who cough and touch everything. And like youre actually like very vulnerable. And its actually very scary, but its kind of exciting and happy that you get to go outside to some places that you enjoy again, but you also have to be very careful. I agree with that. Reporter whens the last time you got ice cream . 2019. Reporter Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has it outtouted low hospitalization rates. But they still caution people to stay home as much as possible. Were talking to the Georgia Chamber of commerce. They say its a mixed bag who is opening and who isnt. This is a longterm change that a lot of businesses have to make. Its not just having the resources and masks and gloves for the next two to three weeks. This is really for the long term. He said no matter what industry theyre in, theyre now in the business of health and wellness. Natasha chen, cnn, atlanta. Many in the u. S. Are heading out to the beaches this weekend as States Reopen and warm weather collides with cabin fever. First, lets begin in california where Los Angeles County is reopening beaches with restrictions. Paul vercammen is in malibu. Reporter a Major Development in the easing of social distancing rules in Los Angeles County. Im at famed zuma beach, now reopened this weekend. You can see off in the water some new rules. You can use the beach in l. A. County for recreation. You see them wading there. Youre to keep moving along. One thing weve noticed. We saw Sheriff Deputies on atvs, and they would address people who they thought were parking or setting up tents or umbrellas. They want these people to dmeke in motion. If youre going to be on the boardwalk or closer than six feet, youre to be wearing a mask. Not everybody has a mask and that has some people concerned. Im glad to come out to the beach and walk my dog, but because people are still disregarding, were not taking my kids. I dont feel quite comfortable enough bringing them out here. We cant assume everybodys totally sat down and read all the countys policies on reopening the beach. So a lot of our job is educating the public out here. Reporter Los Angeles County was the last of the Southern California counties to reopen beaches, and in neighboring orange and ventura county, they theyre celebrating, some of the residents were spilling off into the beaches in other counties. It seems it has relieved the pressure point, and now wpt nite new rules, this is still a work in progress, with reopening Southern Californias very, very beloved beaches. Im Paul Vercammen reporting from malibu, back to you. Reporter several beach communities reopened saturday as part of a dry run for the jersey shore. The rest are expected to open on memorial day weekend. Authorities wanted to see what would happen if they reopened boardwalks and parks and asked people to be responsible for social distancing. On saturday, state Police Reported the experiment reportedly was working. Many attractions remained closed. On the beach, drone footage captured groups of people sitting apart from one another. The boardwalk was packed, and most people didnt wear masks, though they were not required to. Theres a concern if people dont remain socially distant, the summer seen could ason coul down, creating another blow to the economy. Ocean city, new jersey. And we have this for those of you stocking up on disinfectants. The World Health Organization is offing this new advice. It says spraying disinfect thes outside or ayos broad indoor spaces may not do any good. Several governments are fogging streets in efforts to sanitize during the pandemic. But the w. H. O. Says dirt and other debris render that effort useless. Well, lets talk about the latest developments. Lets go to an associate professor in england. Good to see you again, thanks for coming on. Hi, natalie. Lets start with that report i just gave. What do you think about the report on spraying disinfectant and whether it does any good. So the complexity of how these particles of disinfectant react is complicated. What we know is effective is disinfectant on surfaces. As the w. H. O. Rightly says, if you have dust particles, dusty streets, sand, soil, et cetera, affecting the interaction, then youve got a lot of nooks and crannies where in the virus particles can hide and not get accessed by the disinfectant. What theyre saying is quite right. The public conzechgts the mode of transition is very sgliefrgetd else, that the virus can live in the air as long as 174 14 minutes. There are parts of the virus that can linger for much, much longer in the environment. The effects of social distancing become important when there is also limited crowding even in limited spaces and the flow of individuals is limited, and we have earth flow and removal from the environment in a very powerful manner. So if you think of supermarkets, grocery stores, et cetera, if you have a constant traffic of people through there, then the risk of being exposed to the virus increases, because somebody of the people that will be going through there will have likely got the disease and will be shedding at that time. The simulations that show how easy it is with this cloud of virus to spread and maintain itself in such an environment. So we really need those open windows on those air circulation systems, just moving the air and putting it out into the greater environment as much as possible to be really safe. Well, as youve been seeing, beaches have been opening in the United States, theres a Holiday Weekend coming up at the end of the month. States have guidelines for social distancing. Some ordering mask wearing in establishments. Are you generally comfortable with the openings were seeing or is it too soon to tell . Im afraid, i dont, i agree at all with policy adopted by many of the u. S. Governors in the United States. I dont agree with the policy of the uk government, and im in line with what the British Medical Association have said with regards to trying to eliminate transmission rather than just trying to reduce the transmission rate. We are starting to see a lot of information about people who have recovered from covid19, having longterm effects from the disease, even if they havent ended up in icu. So to assume that just catching it and getting a set immunity is fine, a lot of people have completely debunctioned this. It might affect the capacity of these individuals to live and perform at the top of their game for the rest of their lives. If youre in your 70s, maybe youre not quite so concerned about your performance, but if youre starting your career in your 20s, 30s or youre a child, what does that do for the rest of your life . Very good point there. The u. S. Has not seen the spikes that were predicted. Here in georgia, they were criticized fo criticized for opening early, cases are down. Is this a calm before the next storm . You will help me a little bit, because im not following the date for opening around the world. When exactly did georgia open . The very first week of may. The very first week of may. So we will see the peak, if were going to see one, in the next week. Thats where it will happen. Now one has to bear in mind that people are going to be afraid and cautious. So theyre going to try to reduce, do as much as they can to reduce the transmission. Hough, so however, some of the events happening worldwide with regards to sustaining the lockdowns dont fill me with confidence that were not going to see continued uptick of the transmission and a return of transmission. Well, and there is a prediction that there could be 10,000 more deaths in the u. S. By june 1. So these next two weeks will be something to pay close attention to, and hopefully well talk to you again. Always appreciate your expertise. Thank you. Youre very welcome. Well, many countries in europe seem to have flattened their curve of infections, but the uk doesnt seem to have hit its peak just yet.
