So much bad news, Anderson, I can't let go of the good news.

How is the weekend with Wyatt? Come on, let's see the smile. Go on, there it is. Nothing changes at Daddy's face. It was great. Look, I love it. It was awesome. Yeah, I spent the whole weekend just looking at him and burping him and feeding him, and it was great. Yeah, I was saying during the break,

Will we choose to stay together and stay at home until the virus is beaten back to safer levels?

Or is this new reopening our emerging reality?

Will it really become everyone for themselves?

What do you say? Let's get after it.

Now be clear, it's not about the media causing madness and excitement and concerns about what will happen. The news is being driven by government research. A key model, often

cited by the White House, now projects 134,000 deaths by early August, nearly double the previous

prediction of more than 72,000. Another model, reportedly from the Trump administration itself, projects a steep rise

in coronavirus deaths and cases in the weeks ahead, just as many places are reopening again,

even though not one of them has met the CDC guidelines for doing so. Now, the numbers may confuse

you, but this will bring it home. The model equates to us having
