A key model that is often cited by the White House now predicts more than 134,000 coronavirus deaths in the U.S. by early August. Dr. Chris Murray is the director of the group at the University of Washington that's working on these models. He joins Anderson Cooper to discuss why the projection nearly doubled and how relaxed social distancing and increased mobility could affect the death toll. Plus, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine tells AC360 he's trying to balance the need to re-open and get people back to work with the need to keep people safe.
