Liberate minnesota, liberate michigan and liberate virginia. No surprise these are democratic states. He said social distancing has been a tough process for some people. The president has also tweeted at new york governor comeau saying he should spend more time doing and less time complaining. Get out there the president says in one tweet, and get the job done. Govern govern governor comeau was holding a press conference and afterwards this is what he had to say. First of all, if hes watching tv, maybe he should get up and go to work.

Midmay today, but across the country, the competing signals. The governor of ohio already planning to ease some restrictions. In south dakota, a state that never issued a stay at home order, that major outbreak at a Food Processing plant. Hundreds sickened, now the largest cluster in the nation. And tonight, many hospitals across the country, doctors and nurses, still stretched to the limit. The moment one doctor has to step out of the e. R. , she says, it was too much.

States, said coronavirus deaths rose to a new single day high in their data set today. The director of the centers for Disease Control warned the second wave of coronavirus this winter will likely be worse.

Good eving from new york. Im chris hayes. Even as donald trump and the white house try to consign the coronavirus, were over that, were on to other things. As they tell people to go out, get back to work and throw their bodies on the live grenade that is the coronavirus, Donald Trumps own government knows thats not the case.
