What would you risk to reopen the country . Soledad im soledad obrien. Welcome to matter of fact. Reopening the country is not like flipping a switch. A safe return to any kind of new normal requires planning. Are we there yet . Infectious disease experts are warning the president and governors to take it slow. As governors in texas, south carolina, florida, georgia and tennessee are already lifting restrictions to reopen some businesses. I spoke to doctor tom frieden, the former director of the cdc and president and ceo of resolve to save lives, a Global Public health organization. Dr. Frieden, thank you for talking with me. Six states so far say theyre going to be opening up in the definition of whatever that means. Sort of varies a little bit. But how do you feel about that . What would your advice be to those people who run those states . Dr. Frieden this is a very hard decision. We need to follow the data and we need to understand the pace of the virus, even though it spreads very

we have to own that. we have to acknowledge is it it and can t run away from it. it is connected to the discussions around race and racism in the history of this country. we re never going to progress if we continue to sweep these issues under the rug and act as if they have never existed. so what i would say to governor desantis is, you got to hang it up, you know. you got to actually show up for communities on the margins and not use us as political fodder. right, because as the saying used to go back in the 90s here in new york, we re here, we re queer, get used to it. raquel willis, thank you so much for coming to the sunday show. thank you. coming up, it s that time of the week again, and you re not going to want to miss it. comedian george hawn and the congresswoman maxine waters will be sounding off next. we ll be right back.

just literally spill that kind of mess across our screens. and george, she got elected, she s the governor of alabama. jonathan, we re seeing an appeal to the people who want to say the quiet part out loud. she effectively did a 30-second t.e.d. talk to tell everyone a racist without telling you re a racist. it wasn t even dog-whistle-y. going back a couple of presidents ago, there were still people who were furious that there was a not-white couple eating off the china in the white house and they re still furious about it. this gives them a permission slip to come out of the shadows.

got along. so, is it important to maybe discuss issues of sexuality the way one talks about a mom and a dad? why not introduce who is going to talk to a kid about a classmate who has two dads or something? right. or two moms. i don t understand the problem. this is a roll backwards. it infuriates me. congresswoman waters, you ve been in congress a very long time. you have seen these conversations go on for years. i would love to get your reaction, not only to george s satirical send up of the don t say gay bill, but the rights of the lgbt q. community. you know, what we re experiencing now with this anti-gay moves is beyond the pale. many of them have family members
