Cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook continues our series, racing to a cure. Reporter it is the it is the governm t on the rac biggest bet yet on the race to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. As part of the u. S.

But we actually have the 7th highest death rate of the 20 most affected countries. According to Johns Hopkins university. Dr. Anthony fauci says while the death rate has dropped, President Trumps argument, which he has made repeatedly in recent weeks, is not a good one.

Reporter at the white house today, President Trump left no doubt he will demand schools reopen nationwide this fall. Were very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools. Were not closing, well never close. Reporter thats causing concern among some National Education leaders.
