. >>> 30 minutes from now new york governor andrew cuomo is back in new york after meeting with president trump in the white house on wednesday. we'll have more on the pandemic in just a moment. first we're following breaking news in minneapolis, minnesota. tensions are still very high after that night of protests over the death of george floyd turned violent. hundreds of demonstrators packed the streets for a second night. demonstrators demanding justice for floyd, that unarmed black man, the latest to die in police custody. as the night went on, multiple fires were set, businesses were damaged, property destroyed there. nbc news has new reporting about the officer who was seen putting his knee on floyd's neck as he's heard pleading "i can't breathe" repeatedly. that officer has been the subject of 12 misconduct complaints over the course of his 19-year career, none led to disciplinary action. he was also praised for valor in his career. now floyd's family, even the mayor of minneapolis are questioning why no charges have been filed yet against the officers involved. in just a moment, my

protests not only here in new york but throughout the united states we know that new york city has been battling with the coronavirus will sort of the official response and we've seen from the man from the governor and all the single police on the streets now. well we certainly are seeing more police are seeing some here behind me if i pivot around you can see another caravan or another few bands of police this is just a small portion of the police that are spread out throughout the city right now so the short answer is yes we are seeing more police but they don't necessarily want to instigate anything either as we saw some of that on friday night in brooklyn where it seemed like the police were using very heavy handed tactics as you heard from carol in there a few minutes ago in terms of coronavirus it's still very much an issue here in new york city oh see most people are wearing masks the mayor and the governor while they are supporting these protests they say and they too want justice for george floyd according to the mayor the governor they are saying be careful we need to social d

york, new jersey, pennsylvania. new jersey print look at your screen, new cases in florida down 14% since reopening, cases in georgia done 12%. tens of thousands more people lost their lives in new york than in florida. tens of thousands. tens of thousands more died in new jersey. thousands more died in michigan. thousands more in pennsylvania. what happened? this is where we learned from the dumb ideas and the dumb policies from the middle of corona, started in york march 25th. florida went out of its way to get covid-19 patients out of nursing homes, protecting the most vulnerable and the elderly population of that state. in new york, march 25th, in new jersey, i believe they did it march 29th, pennsylvania not to be outdone, they did it on april the sixth, michigan screwed everything up from the beginning, they all forced nursing homes to take in covid-19 patients where there were no covid-19 patients. this policy became a deather sentence for many elderly people in all of these states, this was a literal death s

and new york was bold and was creative. they talk about the new york energy, the new york mojo. yes, that is new york. we did things that other people didn't think could be done, and we did it over and over and over again. we are at jones beach today. jones beach is indescribably beautiful. it is also something else. it was a tremendous feat of ambition and vision, jones beach, built by robert moses. what is funny about jones beach when he started to build, there was no beach. people assume you have a beach because mother nature of each their. there was no beach. this was all built. this was all marsh. this is seven miles of fill. they filled a seven mile stretch 14 feet high. it took so much fill that they dug the channel, a canal, and used that fill to build a beach. how ambitious. you want to build a beach seven miles long, 14 feet of fill, that is impossible. no, they did it in three years. it was a marvel, because they believed in themselves. you have smart governments, confident -- competent government. government did work for people here. it saved lives. so let's get that

new york and new jersey going to that beach. it's not in our interest that people going to connecticut beaches, if those because i'm then going to be overcrowded so we work with new jersey and connecticut. we come up with an agreement that a common all needs. and it was done in good faith . the agreement is new york, new jersey, connecticut, delaware will all be opening beaches for the memorial day weekend . states will have different specific rules about what happens on that beach. the low will be plus or minus a rule, is in the same ballpark. there opening friday of memorial day weekend. he is, that includes local beaches, make sure it does not include pools, pools are close. but no more than 50 percent. and that will be done parking areas, entrance areas, areas . no group contact activities. no volleyball,no football , nothing likethat . areas of social gathering will be closed. areas, etc. social distancing will be enforced for employees and visitors. masks must be worn by employees and visitors must have masks and wear them

what did washington and new york have in common? well, in 2016 election president trump did not get 10% of the vote in manhattan in about 10.1% actually and in washington he barely got 4% of the vote. what does that do if you are a journalist who maybe went in somewhat objective into those environments and by the time you are there for a little bit and in those newsrooms you tend to adopt a certain way of thinking and conforming just for survival because if you go against the grain, as we see in this business, you will be ostracized. that is what seems to be happening. it's an echo chamber based on the fact that this is the environment and these two places exist in terms of the way that we cover things. i always love the weight rupert murdoch put forth his thought process on liberal media. he says, abc and i'm paraphrasing, washington post, new york times, all these media companies based in new york and washington they are pretty liberal, right, the old saying was around fox news and why that was created was it found its niche audie

new york had more. it had nothing to do with new york. it had to do with the fact that all the experts missed a very importa important, a fact that while we were all watching china and talking about china, the virus gotten on a plane in china and went to europe and infected people in europe and people from europe were coming to new york because that's where the flights come. 2 million people came to new york february, march and nobody was stopping european travels or screening europeans coming into the airport. nobody said to new yorkers by the way any european travelers or people from the u.k. or germany, they may have the covid virus. nobody said anything. we had 2 million passengers from europe. everybody is still talking about china. we do the china travel ban, we are screening people from china but meanwhile it came through europe. millions of people came from europe. we had no idea. we had no idea. that's why the number of cases in new york are so high. they're now looking at people came from europe came into jfk and new work but to

they land in new york and they go to new jersey and connecticut . they are in the new york area. we are all still looking at china. and thelooking at china travel ban on china may have been helpful, but the horse was already out of the barn in china. the virus had left. it was in europe. meanwhile, we have european travelers coming here and they are bringing the virus, which is now a different strain of the virus to the east coast. report that the cdc the deputy director. delaying travel ban's allowed for the virus to spread throughout the u.s. and contributed to the initial acceleration of domestic covid-19 cases in march. the timing of travelers should have been earlier. that is a very important fact and is something we have to learn from. from medical school, and anoint the cases which -- was like watching a train wreck motion --tion area slow motion. nobody was looking at italy at the time. today we must consider an outbreak anywhere isn't outbreak everywhere. ajay parkinson. those are words to remember going forward. an outbreak in china in a number of days will be in europe

if you look at new york, our curve is down. congratulations, new yorkers, and actually, the curve in the rest of the nation is up. so while cases are increasing the numbercountry, of cases in new york are actually going down and that is remarkable in some ways because we had more cases than anyone there is because anything particular in the air in new york, but because we had people coming from europe bringing the virus at a time when no one knew the virus had moved from china to europe and we had 3 million europeans come january and february and march before we did the ban on european travel those flights came to the east coast and they landed at jfk airport. that was one of the funnel airports, do remember. so the problem had nothing to do with us but we were tasked with resolving it new yorkers stepped up to the plate and have done a great job. the question now is on reopening. we're going to open half the regions in the state today. five regions out of 10. they are the regions that meet the numerical criteria. there's no po

new york is one of them. it costs new york state about $29 billion per year. state of massachusetts, $11.8 billion per year. it also affects new jersey, connecticut, maryland. that is repealed in this bill that the house put in. it's the single best piece of action for the state of new york. and we have representatives who know this very well in representative lowey and representative neal. i applaud them for putting it in. they have to make sure it's in the final bill, because the only thing that matters is what's in the final bill. but that is good news in this bill. and the need for state and local aid. this is not a democratic-republican issue. you have democratic governors. you have republican governors. all governors will say they need assistance from the federal government. the governors work together in an organization called the national governors association, nga. the chairman is a republican, governor hogan from maryland. i'm the vice chairman, democrat. governor hogan and i did a joint statement on behalf of all the governors, saying, we understand

once it gets to new york, now you have that density in new york. density is the enemy here. dense housing, dense transportation, dense sidewalks. in that density, it takes off like a fire through dry grass and then it spreads to new jersey, connecticut, that whole area. but especially since nobody knew. nobody knew. we were doing this every day. nobody ever talked about transmission through europe. >> i have a mask. gov. cuomo: i can see your eyes. [laughter] >> you talk about the road to recovery and reopening as being an art form. your fellow governor feel the same way. how much of this is based on some personal observation for the last couple of days and got -- and gut instinct as opposed to the numbers and benchmarks you say are so important? gov. cuomo: good question. first, follow the data. i believe you can do this as a science. is it science or is it art? let's say it's a combination. but drive it as a science. do it by the numbers. we are calculating the spread of the virus. that's a mathematical equation. and the more you open, the higher the rate of infection will

in new york city it went from 24% and is now down. you always want to see the number dropping rather than increasing. within new york city you see the bronx is high. 27%. brooklyn, 19%. manhattan 17%. staten island, 19%. we are going to do more research to understand what is going on. why is the bronx higher than the other boroughs? statewide it is basically about flat. this is predominantly for new york city, then long island, the northern suburbs, then the rest of the state but eerie county has been problematic. we are looking at who is been impacted, who is paying the highest price, what is happening with the poor communities, what is happening with the racial demographics overlaid over the income demographics and also if there is any information in other ages that can be instructive. we are still getting 900 new infections every day. that is still an unacceptably high rate. we are trying to understand exactly why that is, who are the 900, wears it coming from, how can we refine our strategies? we can get to those areas, those plac

states like new york, new jersey, illinois, and california. by the way, i say this to my own detriment, but truth is truth here. later we'll check in on the sleepy joe biden. still campaigning in his basement. and not very well. we start tonight with the person who represents everything that is wrong in the washington swamp. that it be speaker pelosi. for weeks, her and her democraticth colleagues, they've been totally completely missing in action, sheltering in multimillion dollar gated mansion communities in place. as it turns out,ie they were buy behind closed doors, completing -- get this, a 347,000 word wishlist, filled with $3 trillion in more spending, the 3 trillion in loan guarantees from the fed. despite calling it a "covid relief bill," most of the proposal has absolutely zero to do with the ongoing pandemic. in other words, they are treating the coronavirus like it's christmas morning. just like they did, they kept workers and hospital workers and business small and large waiting for the first stimulus bill. for a week and a half d

i know you are "the new york times," but fact is still fact, even at "the new york times." here is the fact. the cdc guidance said a nursing home cannot discriminate against a covid patient because at that time the issue was hospital capacity. remember hospital capacity? we were dramatically increasing hospital capacity. if a person does not need an urgent care bed in a hospital because they are not urgently ill and they have -- it can take two weeks to test negative when you are no longer urgently ill. is the best use of the hospital bed to have somebody sit there for two weeks when they don't need the hospital bed because they are not urgently ill, they are just waiting to be negative on the antibody test, which can take two weeks. and you need that hospital bed for somebody who may die without it. second fact, a nursing home cannot accept a patient who they are not qualified to handle. for a covid patient, a nursing home must say i can quarantine, i have the right staff, i have ppe, or else the nursing home should not take that patient. and third, any nursing home that s
