April 28, 2021 CDC issues new outdoor mask guidance for full vaccinated people
The CDC issued new outdoor mask guidance for people who are fully vaccinated, allowing them to unmask in small outdoor gatherings and while eating outside. Unvaccinated people are encouraged to wear masks if they are in similar situations. The federal agency said even vaccinated people should still avoid large gatherings. Dr. Peter Hotez is the Co-Director at the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital. He tells AC360 whether or not he thinks the new guidelines are too conservative. Plus, CNN obtained new surveillance video that a source says shows sheriff’s deputies arriving in a pickup truck to serve a warrant on Andrew Brown Jr., moments before he was fatally shot. Despite cries for transparency, authorities have yet to release any of the body camera video to the public. Wayne Kendall, one of the attorneys representing the Brown family, joins AC360 to discuss the new video and say it shows an “execution.”

April 27, 2021 Brown family attorney: Video of police shooting shows “execution”
An attorney for Andrew Brown Jr.’s family said the shooting of the North Carolina Black man was an “execution.” The family was only shown a short snippet of the body camera video. Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies fatally shot Brown when they attempted to serve him an arrest warrant. Few details and no video has been released publicly. Brown’s son, Khalil Ferebee, joins AC360 to remember his father and says he’s “heartbroken.” Plus, sources tell CNN President Biden will announce new CDC guidance about wearing masks outdoors. Dr. Leana Wen is an emergency room physician and the former Baltimore Health Commissioner.

April 24, 2021 CDC & FDA lift pause on J&J coronavirus vaccine
The CDC and FDA lifted the pause on the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine after use of the shot was halted while rare, severe blood clots were investigated. The label will be updated to add a warning about the possible rare blood clots. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to discuss the safety of the J&J vaccine. Plus, sources tell CNN investigators are looking into whether or not Rep. Matt Gaetz took gifts, including travel and paid escorts, in exchange for political favors. Federal authorities are investigating whether a 2018 trip to the Bahamas involving Gaetz and several young women was part of an orchestrated effort to influence the Florida Congressman in the area of medical marijuana. Matt Zapotosky covers the Justice Department for The Washington Post’s national security team. He tells Anderson Cooper “it’s tough to substantiate federal public corruption charges.”

April 23, 2021 Daunte Wright’s mother: “My son should be burying me”
Friends and family gathered in Brooklyn City, Minnesota to say goodbye to Daunte Wright, a Black man whose death at the hands of a police officer reignited conversations about policing and use of force. The 20-year-old’s mother said she “never imagined that I would be standing here” and that the roles “should completely be reversed. My son should be burying me.” Jonathan Mason attended the funeral and was Wright’s mentor and high school adviser. He tells Anderson Cooper that Wright was “such a joyful, spunky young man.” Plus, a new study suggests that in the six months after diagnosis, people who had Covid-19 face a greater risk of death and ongoing health problems. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to discuss the new findings and says “we’re still learning a lot about this virus” and what exactly it’s doing in the body.
