Im told me a lot of welcome to the program the United States is seeing a surge in coronavirus cases especially in the south and west of the country california florida and texas are mung the worst hit each recording their highest daily increases in new infections the spike has led to lines stretching for miles a drive through testing sites in texas thats prompted officials to. A further reopening of the economy. Lets bring in Stephanie Simons d. W. Correspondent in washington d. C. So if and there are new hospice in florida and texas and california how bad is this. Especially very bad not just in those 3 states or 4 states if you count arizona with it its bad in 30 states 30 states that 60 percent of all u. S. States are reported and significant significant increase over the last week in corona virus infections and 13 of those states reported a 50 percent increase of cases so its not looking good and this is of course not only texas california florida and arizona has been the hardest hit by the fact that they are the numbers are going through the roof its growing across the United States and that is a big big big problem now the Coronavirus Response differs from state to state are we likely to see new restrictions in the worst effects of state. I would say yes california just of declared a budget emergency that enables the communities actually to have more money to spend on fighting coronavirus thats needed their plan clean because as we just heard in the report also california the numbers there are going through the roof why is that the governor and the authorities there said that it is private gatherings that houses which are the problem so people need to meet friends go to neighborhood meetings that are and then spread the virus just one person infected with corona virus infects that statistics here 10 other people those 10 other people go into their communities their families is that for a and you have a massive problem on your head so california spending more money on coronavirus prevention and or testing the texas as you said roll back and maybe even back to phase 2 or one close and shut down all of the entire state or at least specific points in the state used could be could be say experts become the new new york is the worst and hardest hit city in the United States what about President Trump how has he responded to this new spike in infections. Yeah thats an interesting question because the president is a little bit missing in action when it comes to this hes touring the country and he is in Campaign Mode he is booking events where he can talk about what he did for the military what he did for the economy before coronavirus it and that everything which is now looking not so good will look better if he is going to be reelected in november because then he is the only one who has the wit and the knowledge and Everything Else what you need to rebuild the country in the economy he would do it again thats what he says coronavirus for the administration not so much problem it seems to the contrary the republican senators from texas are now begging the government not to cancel funding for testing sites in texas but thats apparently happening so the federal funds are pulled from testing sites for testing sites in texas which is hard hit now and are closing down which creates another problem for the state right ok Stephanie Simons in washington as always thank you.
