And good evening. Thanks for joining us.

As people begin to crowd public areas again, new modeling out today projects a sharp spike

in both caseloads and death counts. According to at least one of those reports, the reason

is partially the relaxation of social distancing guidelines. That report comes from an institute

at the University of Washington whose modeling has been cited by the White House and its

director is going to join us shortly in a moment.

Dr. Chris Murray says, quote, this rise of mobility in the last week or 10 days is likely

leading to some increased transmission. This is what the rise in mobility looks like, all

Mall and the nation's capital, crowds enjoying the weather, some wearing masks, many not wearing them.

New Yorkers also took advantage of the beautiful spring weather to go to Central Park.

The other study that shows a spike in deaths in caseloads was conducted for the government that

was first reported by the New York Times. The White House and CDC have disavowed the numbers,

however, the times in Washington Post report that slides created from the report carried the

CDC logo on them. Also, the numbers come from modeling conducted by Johns Hopkins University.

Now, in both reports, cases are projected to spike with the death count rising sharply.

Last night, President Trump tried to say that, quote,

everything is working out. Unquote, even as he upped his own estimate.

Two weeks ago, today, he projected deaths between 50,000 to 60,000. Last night, he said it would
