Future. It is sunday. It is may 10th. It is mothers day. Im kendis gibson. Im lindsey reiser. If youre socially isolated from your mom, you can give her a call. By zoom. Lets look at rochester, new york, after a historically cold night. This is the hometown of one of our producers. And yesterday, the city set a record low for may 9th with 29 degrees. I remember those tempts in may and june. The little theater, kittycorner from the nbc affiliate, channel 10, that gave some people their start. Like yours truly. Good morning, rochester. The city will begin miailin five free face masks to every folks. And more states are gearing up to reopen. Kentucky and New Hampshire will be easing lockdowns. Restaurants in arkansas, arizona and indiana will be open with new restrictions. Mississippi and most of florida will open up salons and barbershops. Passengers on amtrak and American Airlines will have to wear face masks while traveling. Theyre the latest to implement the new Safety Measures to prevent the spread of covid19. And American Airlines say they will provide passengers with masks and sanitizing wipes. In the bay area, tesla filing a lawsuit against Alameda County from prohibiting the car company from reopening. Elon musk threatening to move the employees and headquarters from that location to texas or nevada, where shelterinplace rules are less restrictive. At the white house, three members of the task force are selfquarantined after possible exposure to coronavirus. Anthony fauci, Robert Redfield and stephen hahn will quarantine for 14 days. And at this point, theres 1. 3 million cases of coronavirus across the United States. Nearly 80,000 people have lost their lives. Monica allbaugh is at the white house. How concerned is the white house about more people being exposed. Who is being done to confront this . Reporter last nights news the significant, given dr. Anthony fauci is the highestprofile member of the Coronavirus Task force, to make this decision to go into what he is calling a modified quarantine. Thats to selfisolate for two, full weeks after being exposed to somebody who tested positive for coronavirus. That comes as this lead Health Expert is following his own guidance that hes given to millions of americans for the past few months, which is to take all of the precautions necessary, if you have been around somebody who has been tested positive and infected with the virus. And he joins doctors redfield and hahn. They are doing a full quarantine. They are stecheduled to appear before a senate committee. Theyre going to do that remotely. Dr. Fauci may go to that model. He may come to the white house if asked to do so. He may go into his own office. And whats significant about that is he is such a central part to the Coronavirus Task force. As you see last week, reports they were going to be dwindling that down. And the president coming back and saying, that will stay indefinitely. This underscores why when you see the aides being infected, creating a Ripple Effect of panic among other staffers, who hadnt been concerned about being around others who had the virus. We saw new measures this week. They will do more frequent cleaning for people that came into contact with those individuals. They are asking u. S. Secret Service Agents around the president and Vice President throughout the day, to wear face coverings. That is new here. Its week eight of the pandemic. And only now is the white house starting to take serious measures into effect. Why arent the president and the Vice President going into quarantine . Both have been in contact with these people that are positive. Reporter they are what the white house deem official and essential employees, whose work is essential to the continued pandemic. The white house says they are tested daily. They have tested negative so far. They will be monitored closely. Vice president mike pence, once his secretary did test positive, he went on a trip to iowa. A lot of people feel that testing helps them bolster that argument, that the president and the Vice President are okay to be working. But as you know, testing isnt always a sure thing. And if you dont have access to testing, like millions of americans around the country, thats the key to getting back to work. They certainly do have that and thats why they feel more comfortable, guys. All right. Testing and Contact Tracing. Nbcs monica alba. Thank you. Now, to the latest on states reopening their economies. Want to show you the big picture. The states in green are loosening anywhetheir restrictid partially opening businesses and public spaces. Including some beaches. In maryland, theyre open with restrictions. Like this one in martin county, florida. That will be open for residents only. But with memorial day just two weekends away, Virginia Beach remains closed. And preps are under way for its reopening. An official date has not been announced. Cori coffin is not at the beach. She is joining us from new york central park. That saw more like Winter Weather than it did with beach weather. With the first snowfall since 1977. A lot of people are cautious about the reopening of parks and beaches. Cori . Reporter yeah. Unfortunately, i dont get to have the beach attire here up in the northeast, at least. Were going to be maybe a little longer for that one. Yeah. I think theres still so many precautions being taken, especially in this area. It is vastly different across the country, depending on where you are. But most states have some restrictions still in place. It really is only a few states that have their entire stayathome orders have lapsed. Take a listen to what customers had to say, people going back into those stores and what Business Owners had to tell us. We have no idea what to expect, opening the doors. Commerce are trickling in. And the general consensus is that everyone is excited to get back to life. Were trying to do that as safely as possible. Theres people not wearing masks. Theyre not keeping their social distance. And they have a carefree attitude towards it. Im not going to be taking my family out too much, as far as when things open up. We will probably be staying home. How do you know . How do you know when to lift it . Reporter a lot of people asking that question this morning. And trying to remain cautious was not the case in california, where a flower market had to be shut down because it was so popular. So many people inundating that flower market. In nevada, Small Businesses were starting to open up. But the casinos that make them money are shuttered. Texas is one of the states where the stayathome order has lapsed. Almost all businesses are reopening in texas. And theres protests in washington state, people urging the governor to lift their stayathome orders there. Rhode island became the first state in our region to lift their stayathome orders and begin moving again. Parts of new york can begin moving again after may 15th, according to the governor yesterday. However, large parts of new york will remain likely closed after that, including manhattan, where weve got the Field Hospital behind us, by samaritans purse, shutting down after it has treated some 200 patients, guys. A bit of good news there. We see the numbers going down. But Officials Say theyre not far enough down yet. They will accept new patients. But it will take a few weeks for the Field Hospital to be shut down and the tents to be taken down in central park. Cori coffin, thank you. To pennsylvania, where theres some counties and some communities that are set to defy the governors orders. The state is scheduled to reopen some parts but others not so much. Joining us from pennsylvania is maura barrett. That county is under a partial lockdown. Can you tell how people are reacting . People here are frustrated, kendis. Here in mifflin county, they have met requirements that the governor put into place in order to reopen. But theyre still not allowed to reopen. Take a look at this map. The entire eastern side of pennsylvania is in red. That means stayathome orders are in effect. If you look at the northwest to northcentral quadrant, that reopened yesterday. Retail businesses were allowed to reopen and the stayathome order was lifted. When you look at the southwestern part of the state, that will be reopening on friday. And here in mifflin county, were right east of the center of the state. And the eastern side of pennsylvania borders new jersey, easy access to new york. Thats where we see the hot spots in these cases. When i talk to Business Owners here in mifflin county, theyre frustrated because they had 50 cases total across the span of the pandemic. Its a more rural county and people were spread out. And businesses were starting to come back in the small town. And they needed the time to get businesses going. But behind me, the store fronts are dark. I spoke to the owner of a home and garden center. We visited there on friday. And there was a plethora of flowers he wouldnt sell for mothers day. He couldnt sell for springtime. And he put in the orders last fall. Hes concerned about the future of his business, and other businesses like his. He expressed frustration with the governor. Take a listen. As for a governor, i feel hes doing a terrible job. He is a lame duck and he is showing it right now because he doesnt care what happens for reelection. He knows hes not up for reelection. And whatever happens, happens. I know he wants to err on the side of caution. But our lives have to go on. Our immune systems have to get built up to this pandemic. Theres other stuff were missing out on. Were going to be in big trouble down the road. The governor will destroy the Small Businesses of pennsylvania. Reporter this county and several other counties have sent petitions to the governors office. I reached out to the governors office, to figure out why the counties cant reopen, even though they have met the threshold. And i never got a response back. Local officials telling me that this pandemic is sink or swim for some businesses in the area. Guys . We saw some businesses like the salon owner in dallas, who had to go to jail for seven days. She was bailed out by the governor. Are any Business Owners willing to tell you they would risk that . Reporter he was thinking about it. They are putting at risk the ppp loans. And theyre putting at risk the license to stay open at all, which would threaten the future of their business. Its a short timeline that a lot of the businesses have to stay on that line of being reopened or closed permanently at all. Okay. Nbcs maura barrett, joining us from lewistown, pennsylvania. Joining us is dr. Benjamin could cowling. Thanks for joining us. As countries around the globe begin reopening, theres some parts of asia, including where you are, in hong kong, relaxed restrictions without seeing cases. They did this with three things. Data sharing, and targeted testing and contract tracing. Tell me about that strategy and how its been effective. I think Contact Tracing is the most important. What we found when we diagnosed case on testing, they often passed on infection to another person. We need to trace the contacts and get ahead of the virus. Thats successful in hong kong and south korea and a number of other places, as well. Is that achievable in a place thats as large as the u. S. . Its going to be difficult with the numbers of cases as high as they are in the u. S. If you get the numbers of cases down to a low level, or where the numbers are low, maybe Contact Tracing could be really, really valuable, so you could open up and have assurance that the numbers arent going to jump up and up and up. What lessons can we learn from south korea . Its one of the countries thats succe successfully combatted this pandemic. After they started reopening just this past weekend, the fourth day of the reopening, the mayor of seoul ordered the citys bars and nightclubs to be shut down indefinitely. This, after a cluster of dozens of infections were discovered. What are we to make of that . And what should other countries take from this, their actions . South korea has done really well. I think what were now going to see in places like south korea, as they relax the measures and theyre looking to finetune the measures, so the numbers of cases stay at low level. We know theyre not going to be zero for the next few weeks and months. They will come up a little bit. They are not too disruptive, but keep the number of infections as low as possible. As we see states in the u. S. Start to reopen, is things like social distancing and wearing face coverings, is that enough to prevent another surge in cases. In south korea, what weve learned is a lot of testing is really useful. Contact tracing is really useful. And some social distancing is probably important for the foreseeable future. I dont think we can go back to life last year, even if we are doing a lot of testing and Contact Tracing. The more testing and the Contact Tracing we do, the less social distancing we have to do in the coming months. The majority of what were not doing here in the u. S. Thank you, doctor. Appreciate your time. Coming up, why investigators are taking a closer look at the death, the murder, really, of that black man who was shot and killed in atlanta. Plus, the major test on the other side of the world, as a theme park opens in china. Why it could serve as a road map when the u. S. Weighs the cost of opening attractions here. Ive always loved seeing whats next. And im still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, ill go for that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Whats next . Sharing my roots. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. From anyone else. So why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase relieves your worst symptoms which most pills dont. Get allinone allergy relief for 24 hours, with flonase. Which most pills dont. When your vneck looks more like a uneck. Thats when you know, its halfwashed. Downy helps prevent stretching by conditioning fibers, so clothes look newer, longer. Downy and its done. New video and photographs have emerged in the killing of ahmaud emory. Theres a new look from the side of the shooting. Reporter new video in the case of ahmaud arbery. It is reviewing this sur stray lens vid surveillance video, showing a person walking up to a house and then leaving. That man, they believe, was arbery. This evidence was consistent with the evidence known to us. Know iing the house was empty, under construction. And that video was reviewed before the mcmichaels were arrested. Arberys death sparked nationwide protest. The 25yearold, seen running, his family says, unarmed. The mcmichaels spursuing arbery because they thought he was a burglary suspect. Arberys mother has not watched that video made public. What was your reaction when you heard the mcmichaels had been arrested. Actually, i was in a numb state because i had waited for too months. Two months and two weeks. Reporter william ryan recorded the video of the shooting. His attorney, kevin goff. Was he with the mcmichaels . He was trying to get a picture. Reporter why . There had been a number of crimes in the neighborhood. He didnt recognize him. And a vehicle he did recognize was following him. Reporter goff says his client has fully cooperated and showed the video to local police, when it happened back in february. But no arrests until the gbi got involved. Now, the state attorney general is looking how the case was handled. Two prosecutors recused himself over conflicts of interest. Nbc was not able to locate an attorney for the mcmichaels. On the streets of brunswick, a deafening roar in honor of arbery. I wish the world could have got a chance to know ahmaud, to love amhmad. Ahmaud would be 26 this past friday. Today could be one of the coldest mothers day on record, as we see a second day of cold weather sweeping the northern part of the u. S. But forecasters now say that winter temperatures should let up today. And temperatures could return tomorrow into tomorrow. As kendis mentioned, it snowed in central park. The National Weather service said yesterday tied a record in 1977, for the latest snowfall in the season. But a lot of people have to be outside. It affected a lot of people outside, like these people waiting in a food line in chelsea, massachusetts. Temperatures in the 20s. The cold was caused by a late in the season polar vortex. Because its 2020. Tomorrow, the world will see a major test, as disneyland shanghai reopens to the public. Could it be a blueprint for theme parks in the United States .
