reiner just said. i would like to add that testing and testing turnaround time is a huge issue that should be being handled at the national level. what's happening at the national level is not enough. we ran an experiment over the last four months where we looked at how states -- state by state by state could manage this crisis. and they can't do it. they can't do it individually, and what we see is kbmpbs making different decisions about reopening and closing that have led us to this point. so what the federal government should be doing is they should be putting in place a unified plan. they're not doing that. and i've started really focusing as well on the governors and on state and local leaders. so that map, what it's showing you in red, are the places in america where there are an incidence rate for covid-19 of more than 25 cases out of 100,000 population. and that's an indication that you can't control the spread of the disease. and so the recommendation is that if you're in a location with that

reiner. you heard mitt romney say that he doesn't think the united states has set a great example for the world here. i want to play more of what he said. >> look at other nations, look at germany, the eu. they had some tough times as we did, but they came out of them. and we're still struggling, in part because of lack of effective oversight of this process. >> if it has been so different here than, just take germany, what example would you say the united states has set? what's working there that's not working here? >> leadership. you know, warren buffet says that when the tide goes out, that's the time you get to see who's been swimming naked. and the tide went out this past spring in the united states. and then when the tide went out, we saw that we didn't have adequate supplies of ppe or the ability to manufacture it. we didn't have testing capacity. we couldn't ramp it up quickly. we didn't have the leadership to tell the country to social isolate and wear masks. and then once we put tho

reiner. susan, i want to bring you in because your latest piece for the new yorker, you point out how the president attempts to flip anything negative into something positive. whether it's losing in the supreme court, handling of the coronavirusment b coronavirus. but you point out how it's not working anymore. it's right on -- susan, i have to tell you. i was watching the president give a speech on some important initiative that he had made. and i just got the thought. i said, i wonder, is anybody really listening to him or taking him seriously, at this moment? talk to me about that. >> well, he does increasingly seem to be sort of the president in the bubble. you know, in a way, right? that he is sort of just doing his own thing. you know, this commutation of roger stone's sentence today is actually a good example of that. it's like -- it's like he's given up trying. you know, you could imagine back in march or april, that he would have handled the coronavirus very differently. that even do

reiner, how do you see that? is that a massive testing failure or is that -- or also, i suppose, is that a sign that this, again, is much less deadly than we have believed? >> well, both. we certainly had a massive testing failure. we tested -- i think today was the second highest number of tests. we tested about 760,000 people today. that's about 30,000 people an hour on a 24-hour basis. but it took us an excruciatingly long period of time to ramp up. so, first patient tested positive january 20th. we didn't test a total of 20,000 people for 51 days. that's seven weeks. we test that in less than an hour now. but during that 51 days, that's when the virus rode the railroads and subways and airplanes of new york city. that's how the virus got embedded in the soil of this country, in the soul of our country. that was a critical error, one of the two major mistakes we've had. >> we've got studies saying just because you had it you can get it again even within weeks, we don't know. there's question marks on what even

reiner, that shocks me as a citizen, right? i understand you don't have a solution, something hits you in the face that you didn't expect to hit you in the face, your best policy. how about the only policy would be a final way to use it. now we haven't been able to get the supplies we need and best policy is to re-use ppe, what do you say to that? >> it makes my blood boil. every doc i know has been re-using n95 masks and other ppe since the beginning because we've had no confidence in our ability to get resupplied. we've suspected that there was going to be a shortage. this administration has touted their ability to build some ventilators, but we've had no update on what the national strategic stock pile has in terms of personal protective equipment. we've had months to build up our national inventory. where is it? let's hear the vice president answer that question. where is the ppe? >> that's the answer we should have because the answer should be we've got it. we went and got it for you. we ramped it up and here it is. >> or

reiner. this unpublished report by the white house coronavirus task force said that 18 states with surging cases should roll back reopening measures. another why question for -- why wouldn't they put out this information? >> because it runs counter to the narrative that there are a few scattered hot spots that will get better their own. the report really reads simply, people can go on line and look at it because it lists every state separately and shows recommendations. for instance, for florida, it basically says all bars and gyms need to be closed. florida needs universal masking. there should be no gatherings of more than ten people. it talks about increasing testing. it's a well-written document for every state in the united states. and now that it's out, maybe the government, state governments will take those to heart and get that done. >> yeah. ryan, i think this fits into your response. if it doesn't, then you can add what you wanted to say anyways. according to the census bureau surve

reiner, i hope you -- you're somebody -- and you know what what you're doing, of course. you do have the recipes for some good outcomes and you saw that the u.s. saw its highest single day of new cases today. i mean, arizona is now asking for additional medical personnel. so if the president is watching, could you try to explain to him why the virus won't go away by itself, and, really, frankly, tell us all what is really needed to try to mitigate all of this. >> yeah, hi, laura. right. the virus is resurgent because multiple states opened way too soon. without adequate testing and in an environment where a large proportion doubts the necessity or efficacy of wearing masks. if you look at arizona, for instance, they are 40th in the country in testing. and only 40% of their population say they wear a mask all the time when they go out. now, where did they get that message from? so this is what we do. we can fix this. we need to fix this and we can fix this. if i were the president, i would issue an executive order tomorrow mandating that all americans wear masks in public.
