President trump is denying records the white house has President Trump is denying records the white house has asked how he could be added to mt. Rushmore. The president calls it fake news but added that it sounds like a good idea. The story was first reported by the New York Times which said a staffer had contacted south dakotas governor last year. Turning to the rise in deaths at the nations Nursing Homes. It comes amid new concerns about the rate at which children are now being hospitalized. I spoke earlier with dr. Ravi. Thank you for joining us. Lets begin with that new milestone. We have 5 million cases of coronavirus in the u. S. The last 1 million cases were reported in just 17 days. Thats 1 million cases in 2 1 2 weeks. What does that tell us . Mona, we know we are testing more, so we are seeing more cases that are being recorded. However, the testing isnt the only part of the story. It tells us that the virus is definitely pervasive throughout our communities. And its in both the Rural Communities as well as the urban communities. It also tells us that its spreading throughout both family units as well as through strangers. I know were working hard to wear masks and socially distance. But every day i see family members, whether its cousins or aunts and uncles who are spreading the virus to other family members, when perhaps were not so careful around those that we know. It seems even children, we have new data on that inflammatory syndrome that affects children which is linked to covid19. Were learning 97,000 children tested positive over a twoweek period in late july, a 40 increase in child cases. Whats your take on why were seeing these increases . New reports from both the cdc and the aap, which is the American Academy of pediatrics, has shown that while children overall are hospitalized at a lower rate than adults, those children that are hospitalized go to the icu, or the intensive care unit, at a higher rate. Which basically means that children who do get hospitalized are sicker. This shows the data that you shared, that the virus is definitely prevalent among children and we must continue to be careful and protect the children around us. Dr. Ravi, a report in the wall street journal found nursing home deaths are rising again, and the report raises concerns about the lack of sufficient personal protective equipment, ppe, and testing procedures at Nursing Homes. What are your thoughts on that . The reports about Nursing Homes showed that the ones that we really need to focus are the workers of the nursing home. These individuals are the ones who are still alive and working in the communities. We know that the communities ar improve the way to detect how these workers are obtaining the virus. Ppe isnt just about protecting the wearer from other individuals, its also protecting the nursing home residents from the workers as well. Our thanks to dr. Ravi. You heard him say it there, ppe is simply not enough, they need to step up testing as well so that workers who do test positive can be isolated immediately in case they are exposed at home. Right, definitely a very important point there. Our thanks to dr. Ravi. Coming up, it is back to school time. Whether remote or in person, our giz wiz will be along with this years hottest gadgets.
