Wondering and soon well be in very, very good shape he said. The president spoke to california states that became hot but said well be quote very good, very soon. The same president told diamond and silk the virus would miraculously disappear by april, the one that keeps saying we have the best testing. Its remarkable how things can look from a biological bunker from inside the white house where everyone has to wear masks around you and get tested to come in contact with you. Its a bunker so secure not even the sound of your leading experts can penetrate it. The president says were in a good place. Dr. An nothony fauci said this yesterday. The current state is really not good in the sense that as you know, we have been in a situation where we were averaging about 20,000 new cases a day, two days ago, it was at 57,500. So within a period of a week and a half, weve almost doubled the number of cases. So of course, the president doesnt have to take it from the nations most trusted Infectious Disease expert, he would listen to other top members of his invisible Coronavirus Task force that acre knowledge tnol l ackn today. This is mike pence and dr. Debra birx. As youall have taken note, many Southern States have seen a rise in cases as of this morning. I think dr. Birx, if you want to give a brief summery we have nine with the district of colombia with rising cases, combined with raising percent of positives. Clearly, california, texas and florida, arizona and growing issues in South Carolina and georgia g and putting the word out there that both rising for positive and rising cases in oklahoma, iowa, washington state, d. C. And montana along with our concerns of increasing case numbers in louisiana, nevada, North Carolina and tennessee. Yeah, that sounds good. I mean, that sounds like a good place to be, right . California, texas, florida, arizona, South Carolina, georgia, oklahoma, iowa, washington state, washington d. C. , montana, louisiana, nevada, North Carolina and tennessee. Thats 14 states in the district of colombia. A good place. By the way, what you heard the Vice President say on that call acknowledging the rise in cases and percentage of positives, hes without actually saying it acknowledging when he said this a couple weeks ago, he wasnt being honest in States Administration pushed to reopen. We slowed the spread. We flattened the curve. We saved lives. We slowed the spread. We flattened the curve. We saved lives. That the from the last Coronavirus Briefing last month. He was talking in the past tense you might have noticed but he wasnt acre nol leknowledging tn cases. He has no choice. The president wants you to believe everything is good and talked about forcing schools to open and pretending that governors or School Officials might be wanting to open because they think it helps them politically. We hope most schools will be open and we dont want people to make political statements or do it for political reasons. It will be good for them politically. They keep the schools closed no way. And everybody else to open the schools. Very important. The man whose every decision is based on what will get him reelected and energize his base and appeal to peoples most primal fears is saying governors and School Officials dont want schools open because of politics. Because it benefits them poll ti politically. Were so deep down in a well of lies it hard to realize how dark this is. There is no political benefit keeping schools closed and kids upset and parents angry and parents unable to work because their kids are stuck at home. Oh, yeah, politically that will serve you really well by doing that. Right now outside of a few states, the entire country is dealing with the consequences too fast too soon and the president is urging as Vice President sense says, but without his leadership on how to do it safely, without his basic encouragement to wear a mask and social distance while opening. As of tonight, infections are rising in 31 States Holding steady in 15 and dropping in just four. In comparing states that rush to reopen to those who didnt under scores the point. Here is new york in green. Florida in pink. New york worked hard to get the cases down is cautious about reopening. Florida reopened quickly and now new cases rising. The number of people being hospitalized growing and in counties across the state intensive care units operating 100 capacity, no beds available. Yet against that grim backdrop, floridas governor reordered schools to reopen for in Person Learning in the fall and the president praised him as he said plans to hold the convention in jacksonville are quote flexible and as new modelling from the university of washington forecast more than 208,000 people in this country may be dead of covid19 by election day. Which the president still does not seem to think is all that bad. Because he is still repeating the same falsehoods as ever about testing and mortality which fell for awhile but once again sadly sickingly ticking up. Therefore we have more cases because were doing more testing. We have more cases. If we did half the testing, wed have far fewer cases but people dont view it that way. What they have to view, though, is if you look at the chart and maybe mike has it but we looked at it before, if you look at the chart of deaths, deaths are way down. What we want to do is get our schools open. We want to get them open quickly, beautifully in the fall. Dr. Fauci calls the mortality claims a false narrative. In any case, those numbers they had begun rising. More than 600 fatalities compared to 250 a day over the weekend but the president nodded of course and agreed and praised the president for his leadership because thats what he does and tried to spin the president s lie about 99 of covid cases being totally harmless. The Vice President tried to reinterpret that lie. Look, the American People know President Trump is an optimists and believes in this country and believes the American People deserve to have the whole story. What does that even mean . The president doesnt want you to know the whole story. If he wanted you to know the whole story, he wouldnt have stopped the virus task force daily briefings and silenced dr. Fauci and others from appearing on Television Like he used to. He wouldnt claim that we are in a good place. President trump is not an of optimis optimist. Hes a fab list. It doesnt make it so. Its lipstick on a pig mr. Vice president. The American People do deserve the whole story. They deserve the whole truth, as well. In a moment, two Public Health experts and two hard hit states, texas and florida but first more on the big picture from cnns nick watt. Reporter big tex taking a break for the First Time Since the world war ii. The texas state fair just cancelled as the military sends medical personnel to san antonio to help. The four days leading up to the fourth of july combined were the four deadliest days to weve had. My concern is that we may see greater fatalities Going Forward. Reporter in florida, icus in 43 hospitals are now full. Especially we need to look at our younger population that we know had a tremendous spike in their positivity rate, which in turn has infected other people. Reporter florida still wont reveal how many covid19 patients they have in hospitals despite the governors claims today. All the data that goes into this is all available. That data is not available. Reporter Miamidade County does release cove hospital numbers and they are up 90 in just two weeks. Still, the state just issued an order for schools to reopen next month. There is push back. We cant go on this path of putting our teachers in this petri dish of danger. I will not open the schools august 24th if the conditions are what they are today. Reporter the states capitol closed after five lawmakers tested positive. Test lines are getting longer. All of this just makes it so much harder to manage this disease. Reporter Quest Diagnostics says last months results were taking two to three days and now four to six. Quick results are key in effectively isolating the infected. The cases are rising so rapidly that we cannot even do Contact Tracing anymore. Reporter undiagnosed silent spreaders might be responsible for around half of all cases according to one new study and as cases claim, nearly half of states now slowing or rolling back reopening. If they keep moving up, well dial back if we have to. Thats the last thing any of us want. Nick watt joins us now. The Trump Administration made good on the previous threat to begin the formal withdrawal from the World Health Organization today and says it will take place in 2021. When is the withdrawal complete and is it i assume irreversible depending on the next election. Right. So anderson, a state Department Official confirms to us that the letter was sent to the u. N. And the u. S. Will formally leave the World Health Organization 2021. President enabled chinas coverup of the origins of covid19. Plenty of lawmaker haves been critical of the w. H. O. But also very critical of the president for leaving the organization in the middle of a pandemic. Robert menendez tweeted this afternoon, this wont protect american lives or interests. It leaves americans sick and america alone. But yes, a u. N. Diplomat confirms to us that this is reversible. Remember, it doesnt kick in for another year so long after the november election and just one more add, anderson, i seen it cross now, the u. S. Set a new record for the number of covid cases in a single day. 55,274 today. Yeah. In this case wa nick watt, appreciate it. As nick said, that is breaking news. The single today, the single highest day of covid infections. 55,274 cases reported that breaking just moments ago. Joining us now, dr. Peter hotez dean of the tropical medicine at houstons Baylor College of medicine. Dr. Hotez, i mean, a grim Record Number more than 55,000 new covid infections today. President trump said were in a good place. Is this a good place . Anderson, today we broke that record 55,000 in two days were going to break that record again. And then in two days from then well break the record again. And then well break it again. This is theres nothing to stop this train. There is nothing to stop this steep acceleration in the number of cases. So next week well have this conversation well be over 60,000 cases. So we have to really reconcile with the fact that this is not going its not even just a question not going well, this is a Public Health crisis and Public Health disaster. People are piling into hospitals and Emergency Rooms and multiple states and the other thing were starting to see happen now, anderson, multiple states in the south is the Health Care Staff are getting exhausted. Its exhausting putting taking on and off ppe every day and multiple times a day. A lot of the hospital staff across sthees states a s a lot of the hospital staff across sthees states tates are. Its staff problems. Everyone is focussing on the number of hospital beds or icu beds. Its not just that. The staff are starting to see the beginning of Staff Shortages because people are getting sick. This is a full blown health crisis. We have to recognize it and deal with it. Dr. Marty, the white house, you know, Vice President pence is saying the President Trump is an optimist when 99 of covid cases are harmless. How seriously should they take the virus if people are being told 99 are harmless. In terms of what youre seeing in florida, doesnt seem like harmless is the accurate word. What is this situation you are seeing . What wooeere seeing is frome 26th of june until today, weve doubled the amount of covid admissions and covid icu beds. Were stressed and exhausted and very significant percentage of the patients that were seeing and admitting to hospitals are younger people. So it isnt just old folks that are ending up in our hospitals and icus. And dr. Marty, from what i understand in florida what you are seeing in terms of when they do Contact Tracing on these cases, what is the focus of the spread . I understand its kind of family interactions, groups, parties, social interactions; is that correct . Thats what weve been able to determine with the tools we have. One of the problems that we have for managing the outbreak is that our Contact Tracing questionnaire doesnt give us the finesse to identify exactly many of the original sources of disease because theyre not even part of the questionnaire. So what we do know is that a very significant portion is, as you say, from personal parties, personal gatherings, graduation parties, et cetera. Those are things were able to determine because thats what is in the questionnaire. Were trying to change that so we can get better data and therefore, a better action because thats why we do Contract Tracing to do the right action. This is an obvious question but why is there a bad questionnaire for Contact Tracing at this point where four months or more into this pandemic . So the entire process is managed out of tallahassee and the way that we do our Contact Tracing for this out braebreak hasnt b tailored for this disease and the reality that we know that this is an infection where a very significant portion of individuals are transmitting when they are presymptomatic aasymptomatic and the questions dont ask details of where individuals were in certain situations, nor is it demanded that individuals have to answer, which they really need to. I dont want to force anybody to do anything but we need to help that let them help us to help them back. Dr. Hotez, its the idea that were so far into this pandemic and i mean, the doctor there is saying the very questionnaires they are asking dont even get to the critical information about this pandemic and i know we talked you and i talked last night. Youre saying at this point in texas, there are so many cases, Contact Tracing may not even be possible because there is too many cases. Thats right. We just dont know if the measures that have been put in place in the states where the cases are accelerating the most, mostly in the south across the south but now were starting to see cases climb steeply in tennessee in the northern parts of the midwest. The measures being under taken are going to be adequate. This is the problem with the lack of strategy by the u. S. Government. We are basically leaving it to the states to figure it out. Well provide backup support but the states dont have the horsepower. They need the full force of the federal government behind them and its clear that were not so farseeing significant and substantive action from the executive branch or white house or agencies. We have to look what other options we have and is there Something Congress can mandate to get a federal response underway and this is something that im hoping to start looking at, as well because business as usual is not working and its not a question of waiting for regime change in november. We there is going to be too much permanent damage if we dont intervene over the next few weeks. Now is a critical period for us. Dr. Hotez and dr. Marty, appreciate your time and i wish you the best in the battle ahead. More on the new projection on more than 208,000 fatalities and the one simple step that could save tens of thousands of lives. Later, what the book the president did not want you to see reveals about his character according to a psychologist that wrote it and shes also his niece happened to see it all up close.

That many but right now, is not the time to talk about it. So when youre ready, search my denture care. Poligrip and polident. Fixed. Fresh. And just between us. As we first reported before the break this country reached a terrible new high for reported cases of coronavirus. 55,274 in a single day. As dr. Peter hotez just said quote there is no way to stop this train. In addition, there is modelling from the university of washingtons institute for health met tricks arics and eva. Joining us, what is affecting the numbers the most . The big increases there were seeing in florida, texas, california were concerned in turning the corner in ohio. The other factor is School Openings we expect in august in september. Thats going to increase Contact Tracing and seasonty in september and october. All those come together to give us the numbers for first of november. So just schools, kids going back to school, if that happens, that means more people will die . Well, its kids going back to school but all the other stuff around and all the interaction that happens and we seen mobility data and contact but their parents are more likely to go to work when kids are at school and after school ac activities and a package thats a big contributor to how much Contact People have unless of course, were very careful how schools openings are managed. I mean, your figure goes up to november. Is it still your expectation oneself we once were in november, december, january, there is a seasonal flu and then there is likely to be a resurging of just seasonally for covid . Thats certainly our very strong expectation. So we think that it will be worse in november, december, january. Those will probably be the worst periods for the pandemic in the u. S. If our understanding right now holds true. How much do your projections take into account for local governments reimpose stayathome orders orbi bias closures or mandatory mask wearing. Some leaders are wary of doing that. Some may have to consider that. Well, we try to keep on top of the closures as they come in and try to build those into the models. So since we know that if people would wear masks, if we could get it to the singapore level of 95 of people Wearing Masks through example mandates, that can reduce the death toll by november by 45,000 deaths. So if states start doing that, then our forecast will definitely will come down. We keep on talking about that. So wait, if what percentage of the population started actually wore masks . You said 45,000 people would who might die would survive . What is the percentage . So when you get people up to what singapore has achieved on mask wearing, which is 95 of people Wearing Masks out in public spaces at risk of transmission, thats where we see that we can save 45,000 american lives. Its amazing that you can look at just that one factor and equate that to 45,000 people being alive who otherwise would die. Thats an extraordinary thing. What is the current, 95 obviously that singapore level, singapore obviously is much more legislation and rule than the u. S. What is do you know what the current percentage of people Wearing Masks outside is . Well, the percent of masks shar varies a lot. Up in the northeast where the pandemic was very bad, mask use was very high. It was up in the 70 range or even 80 and then mask use is really low in some of the states that havent seen a big epidemic yet. We also do see that when states put in mandates, were starting to see an uptick in mask use when they do. This is within the power of states to put those mandates and local government in place. Youve been tracking the data on this virus from the beginning. Weve been talking since the begins of the outbreak based on the data did the u. S. Experience an end to the first wave . Is this still the first wave . I dont think people talk about ways when theyre thinking about like the flu season where basically transmission goes to zero and so there is a very distinct first wave and then a next wave but covid is not behaving like that. Were not seeing anywhere go down to zero. There is a few exceptions like new zealand but in general, what were seeing is the transmission went down for a period. Didnt get down to zero. And now its bouncing back in many places. So its sort of artificial distinction. Were just in the middle of active transmission. Its expanding in a lot of states and its likely to get worse. Dr. Murray, appreciate you being with us again. Thank you very much. With projected covid19 death toll stretches to november, Vaccine Research is becoming ever more paramount. Coming up, ill talk with a Vaccine Researcher focused on the short term and long war ahead.

Breathe happy febreze. La la la la la. Operation warp speed the federal governments effort to fast track a Coronavirus Vaccine awarded the largest single contract thus far. 1. 6 billion contract with the Company Called novavax and it hopes to have a vaccine on the market by next year and the not the only company to receive grants and marketing a safe and effective vaccine is very difficult process. To help me guide us through the maze is a doctor researcher on the Operation Warp Speed Team and the director of emerging Infectious Diseases at the walter Reid Institute of research. Thank you so much for all your work and for being with us. How optimistic are you that a vaccine will be discovered, that will work and will be able to get out to people and what sort of a timetable do you think is realistic . Thank you for having me on. Its a pleasure to speak with you tonight. Im very optimistic that we will have a vaccine in the near future. A safefeeffective that vaccine will be time will tell. There wont just be one vaccine but multiple we try to get across the finish line as quickly as possible and we may need multiple iterations of the vaccine Going Forward season to season. Explain why the vaccine that youre working on is potentially unique. Right. So i work at the walter reid Army Institute of research. The oldest in the department of defense and weve been working on other viruses and other coronavirus like mers and one of our approaches is to develop a vaccine that attacks all coronaviruses within that virus family. And you know, if you think about all the vaccines out there that are being advanced, its essentially the same payload that theyre delivering. If you think of sort of a chassis for a vehicle, what goes on the vehicle thats the same. It the spike protein of the virus that latches on to your lung cells. Whats different with the different vaccines is that platform. And our platform is like a soccer ball in that it has multiple faces on it. About 24 and the spike protein goes on those 24 faces. When you present Something Like that to the immune system, a vaccine is basically teaching the immune system how to fight off the infection without getting the infection. When you present that spike protein multiple times around in a small space, that tends to boost immunity and the benefit of this also is that you can mix and match different coronavirus proteins so that if this coronavirus mutates or we want to address other coronaviruses known or unknown in the future, we can put the spike proteins from those other coronaviruses to make a universal vaccine. Thats fascinating. There are other coronaviruses and likely will be new coronaviruses that we as of yet do not know about. Dr. Fauci has said that given the circumstances, hell quote settle for a vaccine thats 70 to 75 effective but also raises the point that there is a large percentage of the American Population thats anti science, Anti Authority and anti vaccine in the words of dr. Fauci. For a vaccine to borwork, how effective does it need to be and how many percentages of people need to receive it . It all depends on what your purpose of intent is. Are you trying to decrease the number of infections . Are you trying to mitigate the disease severity . There are different end points for different vaccines. Viruses that are transmitted more easily like sars, covid 2, you need a higher proportion of people who are vaccinated to completely interrupt transmission. We see with measles when Vaccine Coverage goes down just a little bit, you get these outbreaks. So we dont know exactly what coverage we need to completely stop transmission but even a vaccine that is somewhat somewhat effective and taken by a proportion of the population is going to have some impact and better to have some impact than nothing in our tool shed at all. Yeah. And you talked about the long war. By that you mean other coronaviruses out there and others that are yet to come. Yeah, this is the seventh coronavirus that has been identified as infecting humans. Five of those seven have been identified since 2003 with sars one. There is no reason to think that things are accelerating, they are not decelerating. There is no reason to think another one is not coming or that this may not become a seasonal issue with this coronavirus. Yeah. Appreciate all youre doing, all you and your colleagues are doing at walter reed. Thank you for your work and tanks for tank tanks for being with us. Thanks for having me on.

Isnt she pretty . Yeah. Journalists today got their hands on a book by President Trumps niece. The book is called too much and never enough how my family created the worlds most dangerous man and the publication was moved up. The president s younger brother tried to stop publication of the book but an Appeals Court lifted the temporary restraining order. One who read it and reported on it is maggie haberman. This book, youve seen it. There are a lot of notable passages already online. One she writes that donald trump hired and paid for someone to take his sats for him writing that he enlisted a smart kid with a good reputation of being a good test taker. The white house released a statement denying this. What do you make of what is coming out of this book . Certainly, the as trkrks sats case dois interesting. What this president has done over time it has sort of smaller by comparison. Look, she paints a pretty dark portrait of her uncle. She payments a pretty dark portrait of her grandfather and described him as the person who made her uncle the way he is. She describes her uncle as associa associa associaa socio path. Clearly some of this was not her direct knowledge, she was hearing from other family members but she talks about for instance conversations she had with the president s sister mary ann where mary ann was dismissive and called him a clown and got upset her brother, the president was talking about their late brother, mary trumps father who died of alcoholism related illness and brutalized by their father according to mary trump and the president. She was very angry that President Trump was talking about the memory of fredy trump during the campaign saying essentially that he was using him. Overall, its going to be a pretty familiar picture to people who have read other books about this president. What is different this is a family member. Its also interesting just the, you know, what she says about the relationship between donald trump and his father. Right. She writes at one point donalds pathology is so complex and behavior inexplicable, coming out with a an accurate diagnose for a battery of psychological tests hell never sit for. A lot of doctors saying to that effect. She actually does have a phd in psychology. But the relationship of how she says her grandfather kind of y created donald trump in this image is fascinating. It is. Look, for people who have known that family for awhile, that is what everyone has said is that essentially fred trump created his son. There was this competition for fred trumps affection, affection is the wrong word but attention and basically mary trump describes her uncle as, you know, in a state of arrested development emotionally. Constantly still trying to get love and attention from father who couldnt do it. Just was not able to and a mother who had a variety of illnesses and not really able to again, i think for people who are interested in where the president comes from, there is a very new york feel about the book. She talks about a famous steak house in brooklyn that the family would go to. I saw you tweet about it. Yeah, but i think there are people who placing donald trump at a certain place in time in new york, i think will find this interesting. But again, i think in terms of the overall portrait of who he is, i think it adds to a pretty broad group already. Mary trump writes about how donald trump was able to avoid contempt from his father, which was by doing his bidding for him and fred trump senior as we said was as she says was associ e sociopath. Which is consistent with what people said about him and fascinating how, you know, that the father obviously had a lot to do with the sons success early on and kind of funding it and how donald trump moved from, you know, queens to, you know, he had his eyes on manhattan from a young age and that is where he wanted to kind of make his mark different from his father. He wanted to make his mark different from his father but remember part of Donald Trumps selfportrait that is not true is hes basically a self made man that got a small is million loan from his pafather and my colleagues demonstrated exactly how not true that was. He is was heavily relying on fred trump and part of point that mary trump makes in the point is the whole family was. They all were. Everyones money in someway or another descended from fred trump and that is the portrait she paints. Maggie haberman, appreciate it.

He said he went fto a hospital o receive a lung scan. He said he will not hold any inperson meetings in the future. Now sure how this will affect his attitude toward the pandemic which has been ravaging brazil. Time new to check in with chris. None of us is immune. Thats the sad reality. The virus is the only constant. And just wait until we find out how long a tail this tornado has. Im telling you im still not right. A lot of people have had this virus unless its a light case and they get lucky. But even my wife had a light case but her lack of taste and smell not her taste in men. Cooper, i know what you were thinking, but her taste and smell came back last weekend. This country isnt doing it on the levels that matters most. Tonight with the president saying, hey, schools, theyve got to open, im going to pressure them. And weve seen this game before. He did it with reopening, testing, ppe. Im going to make it happen but its a state issue, same thing with schools. Were bringing in teachers from florida. They want to reopen schools in like a month just when theyre getting it their worst in terms of cases. Got the head of the Teachers Union to talk about the realities and what they need to go back to work. See you then. Coming up next we remember the victims of this pandemic including a doctor who was on the front lines. I am in so much debt. Sixtytwo thousand seven hundred and ten dollars and thirtyone cents. Sofi allowed me to refinance all of my loans to one low Interest Rate and an affordable monthly payment. And i just feel like theres an end in sight now and that my debt doesnt define me anymore. Sofi is helping me get my money right. At a time we remember more lives lost from coronavirus. Steven coopers grew up in queens. He was making a delivery in Lower Manhattan when the towers were hit. A Police Officer told everyone on the street to run. Steven was captured in this famous photograph. Haz on the left in the black shirt running away as the towers collapsed. He was covered from head to toe in soot and ash after he ran but he survived and he never even realized he was in that photo until weeks later. His partner said for a long time he kept that photo in his wallet. He was admitted to the hospital in march. He died five days later. It was only after his death he tested pc tested positive for the virus. Stephen cooper was 78 years old and he will be missed. When the pandemic hit the patients started flooding in, doctors and nurses at his hospital were also getting infected, but he never even considered not going to work. Thats the kind of person he was. Because of his age he was in the High Risk Group but his family says he would never ask his staff to assume the risk of catching the virus without assuming the risk himself. In april he tested positive and then became a patient in his own hospital, but he kept on working teaching doctors and nurses from his hospital bed how best to treat virus patients. He died 8 weeks after contracting the virus. Dr. Stephan kamholz was 75 years old. The news continues now. I want to hand it over to chris for cuomo primetime. Sadly today was not the day this president decided to create a National Response to a pandemic that is holding this country back and literally making us sick. We just shattered our previous single day record of coronavirus cases. More than 55,000 infections reported just today. And trump just trying to play you once again. This time about schools. Saying the tough talk. Hes going to crank up pressure to get all schools open this fall. Were very much going to put pressure on governors and everyone else to open the schools, to get them open. And its very important. Its very important for our country. Very important for the wellbeing of the student and the
