Youre seeing the world war ii memorial in washington. One of thousands of places honoring americas fallen servicemen and women on this memorial day. We, of course, honor them, too, along with everyone today who is working on this Holiday Weekend to keep us safe. I have to tell you, anthony and tony, the starspangled banner never, ever gets old to me. Were working from our home to yours. Were very glad to be here. It may not be keeping you safe but wed like to think were giving you some degree of normalcy on this very different kind of holiday. Gayle, even if there are no crowds, hearing those artists pay tribute is really moving still on this memorial day. Yes, it really is. May we all remember this day. On this memorial day weekend, people all over the country, i know you saw the pictures, they are ignoring social distancing measures. Now these measures are meant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but the scene from the lake of ozarks in missouri is just one example where large crowds could be found. Look at these pictures. In many cases without masks and failing to keep six feet apart. Anthony . Doctors now fear another spike in coronavirus cases with americas death toll approaching 100,000. The New York Times marked the upcoming milestone with this front page on sunday. No pictures. Just one line obituaries for about 1 of those who have died from coronavirus. With more on the holiday crowds, don dahler is at the popular beach destination of Seaside Heights, new jersey. What is it like there . Its pretty empty but its still early in the morning. So far over this Holiday Weekend, the crowds along the jersey shore have been relatively tame. It might be because its been a little bit chilly, but in other areas around the country, we have seen swarms of people and very little social distancing. One of marylands most popular beach destinations appeared packed this Holiday Weekend. We just wanted to get away. Have the kids have some fun. And not have this ruin such a big holiday. Reporter on ocean citys popular boardwalk, people looked to be bending social distancing guidelines and not many Wearing Masks, despite maryland being one of the most infected states. Its really crowded. Its beautiful out. Its fun. Everybody is having fun. Reporter similar scenes played out around the country from the shores of lake michigan. To hilton head, South Carolina. Its scary to see the fact that no one is really doing the social distancing, the masks. Thousands of people shoulder to shoulder it felt like. Reporter and in galveston, texas. Are you worried about getting sick . No, because i believe gods got me. I try to kind of stay away from as many people as i can. But not today. Reporter texas has over 55,000 covid cases but has tested less than 4 of its nearly 30 million residents. This waterpark outside of houston saw more than 1,000 people in line before gates even opened. Everybody going to get sick one day. Its life. You could die outside in a car wreck. Reporter in missouri, pool parties here were literally shoulder to shoulder this weekend despite signs encouraging social distancing. Any face coverings were difficult to spot. It was a similar scene along the salt river in mesa, arizona, and large crowds covered the hills of delores park in san francisco. Its what federal Health Officials say they are worried about. Theres asymptomatic spread. That means people are spreading the virus unknowingly. If you cant social distance and youre outside, you must wear a mask. There were positive cases coming out of a High School Swim party. Reporter in arkansas, Governor Asa Hutchinson said the state is in the middle of a second peak in cases linking some to a High School Swimming party. Im sure everybody thought it was harmless. Theyre young. Theyre swimming. Theyre just having activity. And positive cases resulted from that. Reporter the cdc has updated its covid19 guidelines to say that the virus cannot be transmitted in water, but that swimmers still need to practice social distancing. Because, of course, it does transmit through the air if you are in close proximity with someone else. Tony . Don, thank you very much. Of course, social distancing is recommended by doctors and in many cases it is ordered by state governments. But police say it is often nearly impossible to enforce. As Jonathan Vigliotti discovered on a packed beach in southern california. Reporter we met Los Angeles County sheriff Alex Villanueva after he took an aerial view of malibus sweeping coastline. Beachgoers are not allowed to sit down and also must wear masks. Though we found most played loose with the rules. My only direction is, just make sure theres no dig congregation of people. If they are pretty much spread apart and not harming anybody, were going to call it a day. Reporter despite the order, there was no crackdown. The sheriff weighing in on the side of beachgoers because he says people need to come to the beach to relieve the pressures of the lockdown. Also called it a release valve for families cooped up in homes. Sometimes family situations can be stressful when youre packed in together for so long. Very much so. We saw increased, taking calls for service on domestic violence, domestic disputes, but over all, now that we have some more opportunities, hopefully that will start defusing that. Reporter deputies on atvs continue to patrol the beach but did not confront sunbathers. Authorities say enforcing social distancing across the country remains difficult as many of the orders are not law. It looks like that white car, theres two people out the sunroof throwing money. Reporter in florida, Daytona Beach Police Released video from this weekend showing a sea of people. The sheriff there admitting there was little his deputies could do. Social distancing is not a crime. Its an executive order issued by the governor that no prosecutor in the state of florida has prosecuted anybody for that and no judge is going to convict them. Reporter back here in malibu, the crowd size about onethird of what it was this time last year. The sheriff telling me he is prepared to make arrests when people arent using what he calls common sense. But gayle, so far he says he hasnt needed to. Boy, jonathan, i hope people dont find out the hard way. Social distancing matters. Thank you very much. President trump spent part of saturday and some of sunday on the golf course where he has not gone in several weeks. His administration moved last night to impose a Coronavirus Travel ban on brazil. Paula reid is at the white house with more on that story. Paula, what do we know about these new restrictions . Good morning to you. Good morning, gayle. We know that brazil is currently seeing a spike in covid cases and starting on friday, the Trump Administration will block the entry of nonu. S. Citizens who have been to brazil in the preceding two weeks. The smrgs aladministration is a eyeing other travel restrictions and will monitor countries on an individual basis. Robert obrien told face the nation that he hopes the restrictions wont be in place for long. We hope that will be temporary. But because of the situation in brazil, well take every step necessary to protect the american people. Reporter brazils president Jair Bolsonaro has downplayed the severity of the virus and mingled with antilockdown protesters in the nations capital. As of this weekend, brazil had over 360,000 confirmed cases of covid19, second only to the united states. As the number of americans who have died from covid nears 100,000, President Trump headed to his golf resort in sterling, virginia, on saturday and sunday. He could be seen in close contact with golfers and not wearing a mask. His outing was consistent with his push to reopen america. On friday, he declared churches essential and called on them to open their doors. If they dont do it, i will override the governors. In america, we need more prayer, not less. Reporter one new Jersey Church defied state orders this weekend and opened to parishioners. The states Governor Phil Murphy said services should resume only when its safe to do so. I would hope wed get to houses of worship sooner than later, but we want to make sure we do it right, responsibly and that we dont kill anybody by doing it too fast. Reporter when pressed on whether Worship Services could help spread the virus, dr. Deborah birx urged caution for those at highest risk. Although it may be safe for some to go to churches and social distance it may not be safe for those with preexisting conditions.

But baltimores mayor has urged the president to reconsider this visit in light of the citys stayathome order. But so far, the plan is for this trip to go ahead. Anthony . Paula, thank you. This morning, china warned it will take action if the u. S. Undermines its interests in hong kong. Yesterday thousands held their biggest protest rally in hong kong since the start of the coronavirus lockdown. Ramy inocencio reports on the opposition to a controversial security law that china plans to impose. Pops of tear gas rifles echoed in hong kong streets sending prodemocracy protesters running for cover. Riot police warn they would deploy force and followed through with water cannon and nearly 200 arrests. The outrage, a rejection of chinas intent to impose new National Security laws on the city, banning treason, subversion and terrorism. This video allegedly shows prodemocracy protesters beating a lawyer bloody in hong kong sunday. Now being leveraged by Chinese State media. Still, critics say the legislation aims at undermining the massive protests, both peaceful and violent that rocked the city for much of 2019. White house National Security adviser Robert Obrien i cant see how hong kong remains an Asian Financial center if the Chinese Party takes over hong kong. Reporter many hong kongers say it reveals chinas disregard for the freedoms promised the city under the one country two systems policy. When they returned hong kong to china. Claudia mo say prodemocracy lawmaker. Whats the future of one country two systems . It doesnt mean anything anymore. So its very saddening. Its very depressing. But then it doesnt mean that well all just lie down, well take it all lying down. This is not hong kong. Reporter this is the new hong kong with antichina protesters marching to another summer of discontent. For cbs this morning, ramy inocencio, tokyo. Back in this country, President Trumps Reelection Campaign is jumping on joe biden for a comment he made about black voters. It left the prospective democratic nominee on the defensive over the weekend. Ed okeefe reports while biden tried to clarify his campaign bashed the president s response to the pandemic. Reporter President Trumps decision to hit the links this weekend is the focus of a new joe biden attack ad. The president shot back last night tweeting that it was exercise and while biden and democrats try to keep the focus on mr. Trumps handling of the coronavirus, he is trying to focus instead of something biden said friday on the breakfast club. An influential radio show. Its a long way until november. Weve got more questions. You got more questions . If you have a problem, figuring out whether youre for me or tru trump, then you aint black. Reporter he later walked back the comments. I shouldnt have been such a wise guy. I shouldnt have been so cavalier. Reporter the Triumph Campaign quickly produced online attack ads. And its now selling 30 tshirts emblazoned with bidens comment. Biden says hes in the process of picking a female running mae mates. One of them, val demings. The Vice President shouldnt have said it. He apologized for it. Reporter but the man who interviewed bien said that biden and democrats should do more than apologize. The apology is cool but the best apology is a black agenda. They have to make some real policy commitments to black people. Biden continues to face pressure to pick a black female running mate with many black leaders reminding him he wouldnt have won the South Carolina primary and some of the early super tuesday contests without the overwhelming support of africanamerican voters. A final decision on his running mate isnt expected for at least another month. Gayle . Ed, i feel like writing a letter that says dear white people, dont try to tell black people what it means to be black. Hes talking to a hip and cool radio personality. His audience is hip and cool. It seems to me the Vice President just got caught up in the moment trying to be cute, as people say, or trying to be, as he said, cavalier. But its a president ial election. Now is not the time to be cavalier. What are you hearing in washington about how people what people are saying about joe bidens remarks . I think a lot of democrats say, gayle, look. Ultimately were voting for joe biden. Hes a better choice than the current president. But he has to be careful about what he says and who he says it to. And this came at the end of a 23minute radio interview. His aides say perhaps he got too flippant about it and cleaned it up just a few hours later. But a reminder this is somebody who has a history of saying things he has to later take back and well see if he ever emerges from his basement this summer, whether it happens again. All right. Thank you, ed okeefe. Anthony . Thanks, gayle. This morning we fondly remember bill small, a leader who played a huge role in building cbs news.
