here in the u.s. and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm robyn curnow. just ahead on the show, u.s. governors plead for more testing. president trump says it is a local problem. he says he'll use federal powers to produce millions more swabs. new desperately needed aid for small businesses after the last round ran dry. what we're expecting out of washington today. so the u.s. coronavirus death toll exceeds 40,000 people. it's the highest in the world and more than 3/4 of a million people are infected, but at sunday's briefing, president trump praised his administration's response to the crisis. he said a u.s. company would be compelled to produce more testing spots under the defense production act. however, he insisted widespread testing was not a federal responsibility. mr. trump said details on another huge economic aid package could come early this week and include $330 billion for paycheck protection. sunday saw more protests like this one in nashville, tennessee. after briefing, mr. trump called the demonstrators good people who just had cabin fever. now governors are telling everyone that they need more tests before they can safely re-open. the white house insists they have plenty already. natasha chen looks at the state of the nation right now. >> reporter: it's been 50 days since the first coronavirus death in the u.s. that death toll is more than 40,000, nearly double from one week ago. yet with 22 million people who filed for unemployment in the last month, there are increasing calls for and indications of america soon re-opening. florida's re-opening beaches, texas is rolling out plans to soon resume commerce and people are protesting in several states against stay at home orders. >> freedom and liberty. we're losing it. >> reporter: president trump is itching to re-open america. >> we're going to start to open our country. >> reporter: not just to reboot an economy in free fall, but with his poll numbers sliding and an election in months away, to resume a treasured pastime. >> i hope we can do rallies. it's great for the country. it's great for the spirit. great for a lot of things. >> reporter: trump has acknowledged it's the governors who are experts when it comes to re-opening society. >> governors will be empowered to tailor an approach that meets the diverse circumstances of their own state. every state is different. >> reporter: and many governors from both parties have said it won't be safe to re-open until the trump administration extends them one critical life line. >> more help is needed from the federal government on testing. >> we simply have not had enough test kits. >> we governors are doing the best we can with what we've got. >> the president doesn't want to help on testing. >> reporter: trump fired back calling the governors complainers saying he's already created, quote, tremendous capacity when it comes to testing. >> they don't want to use all of the capacity we've created. the governors know that. the democrat governors know that. they're the ones that are complaining. >> reporter: republican governors have been sounding the alarm, too. >> but to try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing and they should just get to work on testing, somehow we aren't doing our job is just absolutely false. >> reporter: and just a day after trump sent a trio of tweets urging his supporters to, quote, liberate minnesota, michigan and virginia, all states governed by democrats, he openly supported the actions of protesters who have openly chosen to disregard social distancing while thousands more heed the advice and stay home. >> i think some of the governors have gotten carried away. >> reporter: offering only blame instead of the assistance governors say they need. >> don't pass the buck without passing the bucks. >> reporter: already we're starting to see one state planning to re-open some things this week. according to the charleston, south carolina newspaper "the post and courier" will announce that they can have access to rivers and lakes and retail stores closed for two weeks will be allowed to start accepting customers purchasing clothing, furniture and jewelry according to the new order. on sunday the president touted his record and lashed out at media. jeremy diamond has more on that. >> reporter: president trump briefed reporters on sunday in the white house briefing room, and the president in large part was focusing on the accomplishments of his administration. the president talking about the successes of his administration's response and also playing clips and reading clips of praise from other people for his administration and his personal response. so the president reading at one point clips from a wall street journal op ed entitled trump rewrites the book on emergencies and the president also played a clip from the new york governor andrew cuomo praising his and the federal government's rae spons. that's what i pressed the president on on sunday. >> the clip that you played and read earlier was praising you and your administration. >> all i played today was governor cuomo saying very positive things about the job the federal government has done and those people have been just absolutely excoriated by some of the fake news like you. you're cnn. you're fake news. let me just tell you, they were excoriated by people like you that don't know anything better because you don't have the brains you were born with. you should be praising the people that were doing a good job, not doing what you do. even that question. just so you understand, if we -- >> the question is why now? not why you're doing it. >> why now? are you ready? these people are in hospitals. it's dangerous. it's going to a battlefield. >> reporter: the president's response there isn't truthful. he wasn't focused on health care workers, doctors, nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. instead he was talking about praise from individuals about him and his response and his administration's response. the president did take other questions and he was pressed on this issue of testing. the president in recent days has sought to pass the buck over to governors suggesting that testing is no longer a federal responsibility but something that states and localities have to focus on. we heard that once again from the president on sunday, but at the same time we did hear the president say that he will be invoking the defense production act to increase production of those testing slots. that is one thing we have heard from democratic and republican governors across the country. jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. thank you, jeremy. the bill to bring relief could be hours away. it will provide hundreds of millions of dollars to keep struggling businesses afloat. that's after the initial relief program of $350 billion ran out of money less than two weeks after it was launched. there have been complaints that some of that stimulus money made for small businesses was claimed by relatively large companies. i want to talk about that with christine romans. she joins us from new york. hi. >> hi. >> good to see you. from what i understand, there was a lot of confusion why folks couldn't access these loans. now it seems like huge chunks of this money were gobbled up by chains and restaurants. >> they wrote the c.a.r.e.s. act this way so they could access this money, up to $10 million. in fact, more than a dozen -- i believe a dozen of these publicly traded companies did get those ppp loans meant for small business. now one of them, shake shack, says it's giving the money back. they say that there were no instructions really on how to get this money or what to do with it and they find it very poorly written and poorly disseminated, the money. they are given the money back. they were able to access public markets to stay afloat. the small business money needs to be replenished. no question. these problems aside, they need to replenish this money. there are all of these businesses who have not been able to get to the head of the line to get this money, and they are running out of time. it has been four weeks into the jobs crisis here, four weeks into the jobs crisis and these companies are still trying to tap money to keep their workers. >> i think what is so sad in many ways, a lot of these mom and pop needed thousands of dollars, not that much, whereas, these big chains have taken $10 million. so much that could have helped ordinary people around the country. how can they be certain that the second round isn't also swallowed up by the big boys? >> i mean, you can't, actually. unless they write it in there very specifically. when i was listening to the treasury secretary talking to jake tapper, it wasn't clear there were rules so that small business owners -- especially businesses that don't have a lot of lending agreements already with banks. maybe they haven't gone and had to borrow money anymore. they're just starting new relationships with banks. they've had a hard time accessing this money and that's exactly who it is meant for. it's meant for these mom and pop folks who can access the money. the great thing about it, the great thing about how it's designed, if you use 75% of the loan to pay your workers, it's for given. free money. one of the things the shake shack ceo said in his letter saying that they were turning down the money that i found so interesting is that they said in the statute it's written that you have to hire the people back by june. june might be too soon. there are going to be waves of this virus across the country. the timing, maybe you need to give companies six months to hire back the workers. it's not -- it doesn't fit for the times right now and that's one of the problems. >> i think there's also a concern about the influence of lobbyists here. >> oh, yeah. >> that doesn't help either. let's hope ordinary folks can get some of this second lot of money. good to see you. >> thanks. >> happy monday. >> you, too. beginning today they will launch the most aggressive statewide antibody testing. governor cuomo says this will help determine the percentage of the population who are immune to the virus. that will allow more people to return to work. they say there is still a lot to learn when it comes to immunity. >> in most infectious diseases, except for hiv, we know that when you get sick and you recover and you develop antibody, that that antibody also confers immunity. we don't know if it's immunity for six months, six years. >> it's not just the testing that's an issue. some british hospitals are criticizing the government over a shortage of personal protective equipment, ppe. they say the government has made promises it cannot deliver and they are in urgent need of more hospital gowns on the front lines of this 2350fight. let's go straight to the front lines. doctor, great to see you. there's been a lot of criticism about how the government has handled this. there was an article in the sunday times. how does this impact you? >> so we try to largely ignore the politics. what we're interested in is is can we protect our staff, can we protect our patients from transmission of viral particles from the health care officials. that's why several royal colleges have come out against government guidance today which suggests as happened in new york state a couple of weeks ago, we should be re-using ppe. there is no evidence to suggest that that is a safe practice. >> what you're saying is you're actually not taking the advice of the government because you don't trust the supply chain, the supply line that's coming in. what are you doing? are you reusing? what about gowns? >> we've got to be pragmatic here. we have to use the ppe that's available. we have to balance the risk to health professionals and of course to their families against the risks of not delivering care in the field to our patients. the priority has to be to protect ourselves. if we haven't got the right ppe, that is going to affect decision making. what we're doing is we're getting politics out of the way, we're working out how we can safely use the ppe that we do have available and sometimes that will include making sure that non-essential staff, perhaps junior doctors, junior nurses who were there to learn aren't accessing patients because we don't have sufficient ppe for them. >> you are essentially rationing ppe on the ground out of your own decision-making process. we've seen some decision makings where doctors and nurses are wearing garbage bags. i mean, is that the concern you're getting to? >> that's shocking. let me be clear here. on my intensive care unit i would not ecncourage my staff wearing nothing but garbage bags. those are real and we have seen that. they happen because of the devolution of procurement and supply chains to individual departments within individual hospitals, to the care sector, social sector, so forth. where we've had good management, good procurement ppe stocks are available but that hasn't been uniform. >> in the u.k., i assume it's like that across the world and the u.s., are you seeing a very patchy response? some hospitals are doing okay, others are not doing okay? is it going to get to a point where you have to start sharing between hospitals? or is everybody hiding what they've got? >> it's not sharing between hospitals, it's sharing between countries. turkey has banned all exports of ppe. so it's about understanding where the global stocks are and mobilizing them to where they are needed most at that particular time. stockpiling ppe beyond a supply that will see people through the next month is probably irresponsible practice because we don't know the pattern of this virus, where it's going to hit hard next. we need to ensure that supply chains are there, that there is absolute linkage between the national supply chain and the local procurement and local supply chain where necessary involving agencies like the military in the u.k. we're very fortunate in my hospital because we have the defense medical services and they've been helping us with logistics. that sort of practice should be normal. >> how are you feeling about this? i know you're probably tired, exhausted. this is a once in a lifetime experience. are you angry? are you rallying? particularly because it looks like there's a few more weeks of this to come. >> determined. i've had covid-19 and frankly i had mild symptoms. as your earlier report suggested, we don't know that that guarantees my immunity against re-infection. we have to be careful and look after our junior staff and colleagues. we are determined. it's fair to say we are all in this together. we need to ensure that link wage betwe between the hospitals and the national supply chain. we need to help our hospitals and patients. >> what are the patients saying to you? they come to you in the icu and they're pretty sick. what's the feeling you're getting and has it changed over the past few weeks? >> so we still have fear. we have fear that is precipitated by the fact that covid-19, if patients do become critically ill, is associated with a higher death rate than other critical illness conditions. if they come to our notice and we're considering whether or not to vent late the patients, then they are fearful. balancing that though is a desire. they know that ventilation, if they get that done well, might be their only chance, and they are urging us to help them because they're tired. their work at breathing is difficult. they are very anxious. so we have patients who recognize that they might need critical care, are anxious about it, but among the broader public we have huge ground swell of support for the nhs, other key workers within the u.k. >> i think it certainly is. we've seen there's been such a huge ground swell of support for all of you. dr. daniels, appreciate it as always. thanks for your work. keep strong. >> thank you. so italy is now looking to adopt antibody tests designed to see if anyone has had the virus in the past. this quick test could be key to re-opening the country. there are questions about it in the country. ben wedeman tried the test with mixed results. take a look. >> reporter: just three drops of blood are enough for a chinese made antibody test for the coronavirus now going through a trial run in italy, just one of several tests being examined by the italian government. other countries have had mixed success with such quickly-designed tests, but we give it a try. we were up in the north of italy in the red zones for 17 days so we are very anxious to see the results of this test. unlike swabs, this test gives results in just eight minutes. the result, says dr. john dominique persone, can tell us three things, that you never had anything, that you are currently infected or that you had it, you have antibodies that are no longer contagious. i received a clean bill of health. >> nothing. >> reporter: negative? >> negative. >> reporter: and never had it? >> no. >> reporter: never had it. alfredo, who drove us all over northern italy for two weeks, also negative. cnn rome's veteran cameraman had a different result. positive, says dr. bersone. he had the virus in the past and has brilliantly overcome it. alessandro never had any symptoms. but our bodies can take time to produce antibodies, so experts caution that these tests may miss some recent current infections, unlike the more common swab tests which should be able to detect whenever someone is shedding the virus. antibody tests like the one i got, quick, painless, inexpensive, just around $20, can show who's already been infected. a critical step as italy shifts into phase two, a phase when the country reopens. deputy health minister, who caught the virus and has since recovered, says such tests will initially focus on critical sectors before becoming widespread. >> who is working in the health system should do the test. who is working for every public service should do it. plus i would check the population, especially the north. >> reporter: the number of new coronavirus cases in italy is slowly declining, but the daily death toll remains high. while the international monetary fund warns the country's gross domestic product could end this year. striking a balance between the economy and public health will not be easy. ben wedeman, cnn, rome. >> thanks, ben, for that. you're watching cnn. still to come, shops in germany begin to re-open as the country begins to slowly ease the coronavirus restrictions.

their families. this move is designed to improve tracking of the virus and containing its spread. families have complained they haven't been given information about their loved ones. a tip last week led police to 17 bodies in a morgue at a new jersey facility. at least 37 people have died from coronavirus there. in new york, the virus has killed more than 1100 nursing home residents. >> nursing homes are still our number one concern. the nursing home is the optimum feeding ground for this virus. vulnerable people in a congregate facility in a congregate setting where it can just spread like fire through dry grass. we have had really disturbing situations in nursing homes and we're still most concerned about the nursing home. >> california is also struggling with a surge of infections in its nursing homes as well as paul buchanan now reports. paul. >> reporter: the mayor of los angeles delivering an evening address, a state of the city address, and saying that los angeles is grieving but not broken. it's grieving in part because of what has happened at nursing homes. briar oak, east hollywood, 80 residents have tested positive for coronavirus, 62 staff members. throughout the state more than 3,000 cases linked to nursing homes. in central california redwood springs has had 107 residents test positive, 10 have died. 54 residents have tested positive, including one we spoke to over the phone. she wanted to keep herself anonymous. she said she came down with covid-19, passed it on to her daughter. she told tales of working with just a paper mask and said that nobody wants to do a job that requires people to be very close to those residents, including giving them baths. >> nobody wants to sign up for that. >> reporter: tough work? >> yes. it's back breaking work. it's rewarding to see like, you know, your patients getting better at certain points, but it's -- we're putting our lives on the line as well. >> reporter: the redwood springs facility saying it did provide n95 masks to the caregivers and saying it was vigilant in trying to protect them. california going through a surge in cases tied to nursing homes. reporting from los angeles, i'm paul buchanan, back to you. >> thanks, paul, for that. whilst world leaders are doing their best to lead through the pandemic, brazil's president is one of the crowd. he joined a rally calling for an end to quarantine measures. he was there without a mask, coughing at times while addressing a couple of hundred supporters. the president fired his health minister last week after weeks of dispute over the isolation measures which had been imposed by the state government. he said the economic fallout should not be worse than the virus itself. brazil has the most confirmed cases in latin america with 38,000 reported. and then another way of dealing with this, germany is starting to relax some of the restrictions it imposed to fight the coronavirus pandemic. starting today the government is allowing smaller shops to re-open as long as they take precautions to slow the spread. it comes as the country reported one of the lowest rates of new infections and deaths on sunday. fred pleitgen joins us from germany. fred, hi. good to see you. explain to us where you are. as we can see, normal life seems to be going back to the way it used to be. >> reporter: yeah, to a certain extent, robyn, life is going back to normal. we are at the zoo in rustock. one of the businesses that are allowed to re-open are the zoos in germany. they are taking advantage of that. polar bears and sea lions are the big draw here. families with children who have been inside, they are taking advantage of this and want to come and go back to places like, for instance, the zoos. one of the reasons they are allowed to do that is in a large park it is easier to social distance than smaller places. other than that, it's smaller shops re-opening and bicycle dealers re-opening as well. we were talking to small business owners and over the week a lot of them very happy that they are able to go back and do their work and are able to have customers again. a lot of people have been waiting to be able to go back to these shops. the german government though, robyn, has said that the gains that have been made so far that have allowed them to ease some of these restrictions that have been in place for a very long time, those gains are fragile. the gains, they say, can be reversed at any point in time. you are seeing the german governments looking at all of this, not in a nervous way, but really being very watchful and whether or not infections will go up and whether or not the restrictions can remain. there are some that are a little stricter than others. bulgaria has announced they will make people wear masks in public places. we are seeing people do it voluntarily here. there are certain areas in germany that is not voluntary. the regular physical distancing measures are in place. folks who are not members of one family do have to stay apart at least 1.5 to 2 meters. >> thanks for that. you can see kids trying to get a good walk in there. fred pleitgen. 16 people are dead after a shooting rampage in the canadian province of nova scotia. the shooting began late saturday night. police were led on a chase that ended more than 90 miles away. more from ottawa. >> reporter: canadian police described this as a rein of terror that went on for more than 12 hours. the 911 calls started to come in late saturday night. police say they went to one property and saw several people, several victims both inside and outside the property, but at the same time they saw lots of fires in that area and other areas. in some cases dozens of miles apart. they were trying to attend to all of these multiple crime scenes. at the same time there was a manhunt on for a local businessman. police say they had no indication that anybody would try and attempt this kind of rampage in what is really a very rural and quiet community. the manhunt continued throughout the night. people terrified already, already in lockdown, were told to barricade themselves in the basement if they had one and to look out for this man. he was said to be perhaps wearing some type of an rcmp uniform, police uniform perhaps in a police car. police points out this means these acts were in some way, shape, form premed dated. in terms of the victims he may have known some of them, but the others the acts look senseless and absolutely random. they finally tracked the suspect down at a gas station. they won't say exactly how he died but do confirm that he is in fact deceased. the heart break will be coming in the next few days. one personal story rcmp lost constable heidi stevenson, a veteran of 23 years, a mother of two. this is in the middle of this pandemic when people cannot even properly mourn. trying to process this. this is one of canada's worst mass killings in history and a national tragedy. this is so difficult for the community and the entire country, in fact, to cope with given what so many are dealing with. cnn, ottawa. >> thanks, paula, for that. with country-wide closures

to our students. frankly, their social/emotional wellness is a priority. for many kids this is the first significant experience they have with grief. they have lost life as they knew it. their rhythms, their patterns, they're isolated. this is a big change in their lives. >> you're basically saying in many ways they're mourning because this is a loss of something that has underpinned their life so far in many ways? >> absolutely. for once in the life of our 21st children they're not over scheduled. they're actually experiencing boredom. >> which is not necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time a lot of these kids have lost their sense of structure which i think, you know, you've spoken about a lot before. that is what school is about, isn't it? milestones. sports games. reports, promise. dances. graduations. >> it is. it is, particularly at the end of a school year here in the united states as kids are coming across the significant, important milestones in their developmental process. >> so what to do about that? what kind of advice are you giving students? what kind of advice are you giving particularly to the teenagers who feel like their sense of purpose, their whole day has been ripped away from them? >> we're getting a lot of feedback from the older students that they're losing motivation. that they're feeling -- edging on a sense of hopelessness which we don't want them to feel at all. really looking at their controllables. thinking about time and space so that they are creating rhythms and patterns in their lives at home. they're getting up with an alarm. they're taking a shower. then they're going online to do class. they're not doing class in their bedroom. they're going to school at the dining room table, at a desk. then they look at homework as something separate from school work because right now it's just work. and to do homework when they might have done homework previously in a separate place, so creating those traditional rhythms that they're used to in this new environment i think is going to be really important to them. and finding ways to stay connected. >> finding ways to stay connected. that's the one benefit, i suppose, about giving kids cell phones. out of the students that you've connected with, particularly as a teacher, who are the students that are managing and who aren't? i know with one of my children, she's reading a lot, she is an introvert. what about the extroverts? >> it seems there is a sharp line between how introverts are experiencing this and extroverting are experiencing this? introverts are happy as clams. this is just his speed. they're able to self-regulate. they don't need to be re-energized by being around lots of people. this is really hard for the extroverted student who needs to create new ways of staying connected and getting online with their teachers when they offer office hours and finding ways to connect virtually with friends. what we're finding is that the virtual connection really is a fulfilling connection even though it's through a screen. >> and teachers, what are the teachers having to experience through this? we're nearly a month into this. many other places are further in or just about to start. for teachers around the globe, what has this been like? >> what we're hearing from teachers first and foremost, that this is the greatest form of professional development they've ever experienced. they have had to turn on a dime what they're doing, the content they're delivering and how they're delivering it. they are -- one of the things they miss the most is the emotional reaction of children in a classroom, that silent feedback they get by watching the facial expression or body language. they miss their kids a lot. they are working really hard and they are exhausted. >> and, i mean, how have different teachers managed this? i suppose if you're younger, more internet savvy, that's cool. all of the tee tires, used to nurturing students one on one or explaining things in person, how difficult has that been? not all teachers are the same. >> no, it's really hard. it's very hard for somebody who has done it the same way for a long time. frankly, teachers tend to be a fairly risk adverse bunch, and this is really forcing them to try new things. they're counting a lot on one another, so those who are more comfortable with technology, they are helping their colleagues with less experience with them. we are very lucky at our school to have lots of resources and educational technologists who have committed their careers to developing these platforms for teachers and for students. >> yeah. so if you don't have the resources of, say, that at school, what is the advice you can give to students or teachers who feel like they've lost their routine. >> be patient. keep in mind this is not going to last forever. and in some ways, going back to the basics. reading, writing. teachers are using many more project-based exercises and they're introducing a project that may have multiple disciplines wrapped into it. honestly, i think the reading and writing is one of the best things kids can do now. they also can use writing to develop their own communication skills, but also to process emotions right now through a journal. >> that brings us back talking about emotional help. meredith cole from the lovett school, thank you for your advice. >> thank you. take a look at this. i want to show a little creativity to kick the quarantine blues. do a little exercise. this involves a lot of skill. these two talented girls in italy turned their rooftops into a tennis court. talk about a rally. reacting to the video, tracy austin tweeted, this is next level. i don't think this can be taught. i pretty much agree
