Hospital system could be overwhelmed without immediate action to slow the spread of the virus. Texas is also in trouble. The state just today reporting more than 5,700 new infections. It comes as Governor Greg Abbott acknowledges he allowed bars there to reopen too soon. Meanwhile, if you had any plans to travel to europe this summer, you might be forced to reschedule. Diplomats from the eu say travelers from the u. S. And other countries with severe coronavirus outbreaks are, quote, unlikely to be allowed in when it opens its borders on july 1st. Lets start in florida where the republican governor, ron desantis, is refusing to mandate masks despite surging number of cases. Cnns Miguel Marquez reports. Reporter the Sunshine State in a state of crisis. The number of coronavirus cases climbing at alarming rates with florida reporting nearly 9,000 new cases, its highest single day to date. Cities like holywood now mandating masks be worn in public, even outdoors, except when exercising. I do think for the safety of everybody, especially with the numbers rising here, just do it. You know, its selfish not to. No matter the circumstances . No matter the circumstances. It should be up to you. Its your right to wear it or not wear it. Except you could give it to someone and it could kill them. I mean thats right. I can also give someone the common cold. I can also give someone the flu. Right . Reporter except those maybe dont have as high a death rate. I think its a little overrated. Reporter while some see government mask orders as infringing on their rights, officials here once confident they had beat the virus are now scrambling to contain it. New infections skyrocketing. Thursday statewide 13 of those tested came back positive. In Osceola County near orlando, 23 positive for the virus. In lee county, ft. Myers, nearly 20 positive. In Miamidade County, 14 positive. Here in broward, nearly 12 positive. All way too high. Right now in florida were doing this. You know, the gating criteria and youre really supposed to be going downward. As long as you go downward you can keep reopening but for now its a pause. Reporter hollywood paused at the first stage of reopening. Look, the mask order is a good thing, she says, because it protects me, my employees and my customers. As wearing a mask has become increasingly political, driven largely by the president and his handling of the crisis, even some supporters are beginning to question his judgment and their vote. If you asked me five months ago, im going to say definitely trump because he handle everything right. But now with all reporter because of the pandemic . The pandemic and also all those that happen now, its complicated now. Reporter Miguel Marquez, cnn, hollywood, florida. Joining us now, democratic congressman and former governor of florida, charlie crist. Congressman, the state of florida reported 9,500 cases, new cases for a single day just today. This is a new high. Yesterday it was nearly 9,000. The governor is stopping Alcohol Consumption in bars statewide but is still not mandating masks. Heres his explanation as to why. The idea that youre just going to mandate and selectively prosecute people, i dont think that thats necessarily going to work. I do think what will work is consistent messaging, letting people know what they can do to help protect themselves and to protect others. Then you obviously can have local folks if they want to do different ordinances, quite frankly theres parts of florida it just wouldnt make sense because you dont have the same cases. Its not something where the incidence is as high. And i think it would present some problems. Whats your reaction to that . Im disappointed. And i think the governor is trying to do what he thinks is right. I dont want to really monday morning quarterback the situation, but i also understand that leadership matters. And look, im not wearing a mask right now because im in a studio in washington, d. C. , and nobody is within six feet of me. But if youre out in florida and youre going to a restaurant or youre going to a park or any place that is public, the idea and the notion of not requiring people to wear a mask is foreign to me. I dont really understand that, especially when weve hit record highs three days in a row now in the Sunshine State. Listen, i love florida and i think god loves florida, and i think we need to do everything we can to have safety first. Its important to try to understand, ana, that we want to open the economy. Listen, we live on tourism in the Sunshine State and its because its beautiful. But we have to also balance safety is the number one safety first. Wouldnt wearing a mask help florida be able to be more open . Well, thats correct, youre exactly right, ana, it does. Because if we have lower cases, more people are going to be inclined to come and visit the Sunshine State. Thats important to our economy, its crucial, clearly. But leadership has to say, and i mean in the governors office, look, i was governor. And i understand that people Pay Attention to what you do and how you comport yourself. I think that the governor can do better here. I know that hes trying. Listen, this is a difficult situation for everybody. Were kind of trying to build a plane as were flying it as many have said in the past, so i understand that, but i think the governor would be ill advised to say we ought to use these things everywhere we go when were in public. Its just smart, its common sense, its the right thing to do. Why not get about the business of doing that. When you see the cases going up exponentially, last weekend we were reporting breaking news, florida had more than 4,000 new cases reported in a single day. Now were at 9,500. It was 9,000 yesterday, 5,000 backtoback days earlier this week, so you see where the trend is going. Florida is being called the new epicenter of the crisis in the u. S. To give more perspective, compare the numbers in florida to italy, which used to be the epicenter in europe. Italy never had a single day record close to 9,000, even though it has triple the population. And the numbers today are on par with new yorks highest daily case number back at the height of the pandemic here in april. So when you consider all of that and the drastic measures that we all took here in the u. S. And that other countries have taken in order to bring it down, do you think its time to go there in the state of florida . I hate to say it, but is it time for a new stayathome order . It probably is. I mean lets face the facts. Were at the highest level weve ever been, right . We had a stayathome order when the numbers werent what were seeing and witnessing today. So what do you want to do, ignore the facts . They are what they are. Facts are stubborn things. And it says to me that youve got to Pay Attention to whats happening, adapt, adjust and do whats right. Thats what needs to be done in florida. I mean, listen, my mom and dad are in st. Petersburg where i grew up. My dad is 88, my mom is not a whole lot further behind, and you dont want to put these people at risk. What weve seen lately too, ana, the numbers are going down in terms of what segment of the population is being hit. It used to be 48 was the average age of floridians testing positive. Now its 38. So its this virus does not discriminate. Its going after anybody and everybody in its path. And i dont mean to be an alarmist, i just want to advocate common sense. One thing we know is the mask helps. The other thing is stay at home. Lets exercise common sense, do whats right. Whats right for florida is right for america and right for the world. God bless those who put those things into action and put that kind of leadership front and center. There was a hearing in the house yesterday on coronavirus, and republican members of the panel were not wearing masks, despite the capitals positions guidance to do so and that deeply upset the House Majority whip, james clyburn, who threatened to cancel inperson meetings if the rules werent going to be followed. Listen to this. I grew up believing that the first sign of a good education is good manners. I think its good manners to look out for your fellow. I see all the staff wearing masks. I dont know what this is. Some members of Congress Still wont wear a mask. The president wont wear a mask. What example is that setting . Its a bad example. Thats the wrong thing to do. Representative clyburn has it right. Basically what hes saying is do unto others as you would have done unto you. Listen, i wear this yellow wristband every day. Ana, what it says is practice the golden rule every day. Thats what representative clyburn was talking about, and he is spot on. Treat others as you want to be treated. Wear a mask if youre in public because it shows respect for your fellow man and your fellow woman. Thats what we all need to be doing. In two minutes or whatever it is when we finish this interview, ill put this mask on because im going back out in public again. Its what we ought to be doing and it shows respect, Mutual Respect and decency towards each other. Its the right thing to do. The Vice President was asked twice why the Campaign Continues to hold rallies in hot spots, indoors, no masks, despite the growing problem. Heres what he said. Can you tell me why you continue to do this . Why the Campaign Continues to hold these rallies . Well, the freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the constitution of the United States. And in arizona, one of the hardesthit states, you packed a church with young people who werent wearing masks. How can you say that the campaign is not part of the problem that dr. Fauci laid out . Well, i want to reminding you again that the freedom of speech and right to peaceably assemble is enshined in the constitution of the United States. Congressman, its hard to imagine the president wont eventually hold a rally in florida. We know he wants a packed room for his acceptance of the republican nomination, which will happen in jacksonville. How concerned are you . Well, im very concerned. The Vice President , i think, is coming to sarasota next week. So are they going to come here with this policy that we dont need to be cautious, we dont need to be bright about what were dealing with here . I mean something is enshrined in the constitution, thats great. But were dealing with something that weve never dealt with before. So leadership needs to get into the 21st century. Joe biden wears a mask, he gets it. He understands it. I just did a zoom video with dr. Jill biden this past week. She understands it. I mean lets get with the program and understand whats right for the people of this country. You want to lead this country . Youve got to start by doing at home what you know is right for america. The bidens are doing it. Unfortunately, the president and the Vice President are not doing it. And it hurts me to say that, it pains me to say that, but it is what it is. And the people deserve the truth, and thats the truth. Weve got to do whats right for everybody. Weve got to do the right thing, get beyond this pandemic, get rid of racial strife, do whats right for the country and lead us to a better, more hopeful future. Thats what this race is about, thats what this moment is about. Congressman charlie crist, good to have you with us. Thank you. Thank you, ana, good to be with you.

For heroes proved, in liberating strife America America now to an alarming new estimate from the centers for disease control. According to a recent antibody survey, the cdc estimates the total number of coronavirus cases may actually be 6 to 24 times greater than whats been reported. It reached this conclusion after examining blood samples from six locations. They looked at all blood samples, not just blood being tested for covid19. In each location the number of samples testing positive for covid was much higher than was being reported. Dr. F. Perry wilson is an associating professor of medicine at yale university. Good to have you here, doctor. As we try to understand this survey, is this potentially good news in the sense that it means the fatality rate could be a lot less than previously thought . Thanks, ana. I wish i could color this as good news. I actually think this is quite bad news. The overall prevalence of antibody positivity was about 5 and, yes, that does suggest that there are a lot of cases were missing with testing. The one thing to put that in context is that all the studies estimate that about 50 to 60 of the population of the United States needs to become immune to this virus either through a vaccine or through becoming infected before the epidemic really starts to slow down. Thats this herd immunity number. Now, if were at 5 right now, were a 12th of the way absenc that puts us in the first inning and there have been 125,000 deaths in the u. S. Its not too hard to do the math. This is concerning data. Weve heard doctors this week describe the situation as a fouralarm fire, a catastrophe, Public Health train wreck in slow motion. How would you describe the situation . I think it is a disaster. We had we all got together and we went into lockdown and quarantine. Our goal there was to just buy time. And that wasnt just to stock up on ppe and to learn new protocols in the hospitals, weve done that to some extent. It was to ramp up testing, Contact Tracing and isolation practices which were largely abandoned by the federal government during that period. And so it is no wonder that as we open up we find ourselves unprepared. This is an incredibly infectious disease. We knew that from the beginning. And so it is to be expected that without really robust measures were going to go right back to where we started. It feels like the past few months where weve all been stuck inside in some sense was wasted. And we have surpassed, in fact, the highest number of cases in one day that we had back in april this week. You know, our curve is going straight up. Were no longer flat even. At least 32 states are seeing a rise in cases compared to last week. 13 of those states are reporting a 50 increase or greater. Cases are rising rapidly in places like arizona, texas, florida, california. If youre in one of those states, what should these leaders do to stop the increase at this point . Is there something they can do today to at least flatten, if not diminish the direction of the curve . I think one of the real challenges here is realizing that because of the length of time it takes between when youre infected and when people show symptoms and come up with testing, theres often a delay before you start to see these upswings. This has been going on for a while. Probably, honestly, since memorial day. We in a lot of these states are in a situation where its going to be very hard to dial that back. I think a lot of these leaders are going to seriously need to consider going back into lockdown, at least for a period of time, in order to get their ducks in a row, in order to get the Public Health apparatus there to do that robust testing thats needed, which is still inadequate. In florida, the mayor of Miamidade County closed the beaches ahead of fourth of july. We know in texas the governor closed bars, reduced restaurant capacity after initially reopening. Several cities have been passing mandatory mask requirements even if its not mandated at the state level. Is it enough just to have a scatter shot approach like this or does there need to be a more cohesive National Plan to combat the growing number of cases . I think this is one of the major problems in the response to coronavirus. The coronavirus has no respect for state borders. It doesnt respond to the governor. This is a national crisis. Honestly its an international crisis. We continue to hear from the likes of Vice President pence even at the press briefing yesterday that, you know, theyre deferring to the governors and local authorities for things like this. We need a National Response because this affects us all. It depogoes right across the st borders and thats been highly ineffectual. Dr. Perry wilson, thank you. Thank you. Texas is rolling back its reopening as cases this surge. The hospitalizations set new records. Well have a live report from that state next. Stay with us, youre live in the cnn newsroom.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordering new restrictions on businesses, including bars, because the covid positive infection rate in that state soared above 10 . Today texas has now reported more than 5,000 new cases. Houston alone is seeing more than 1,000 new cases per day. Some perspective on this rapid increase, texas is the nations second most populous state, and houston is americas fourth most populous city. Cnns alexandra field is in houston. Tell us what youre learning, alexand alexandra. Reporter houston clearly a hot spot now. Officials are warning that the hospitals could be a week to three weeks away from being entirely overwhelmed. Texas Medical Center saw their icu beds hit 100 capacity earlier this week with about 28 of those beds filled by covid patients. The governor seemingly trying to put the genie back in the bottle, but tonight there are big concerns that those actions arent nearly enough. Major turnaround in texas as covid cases soar. Governor greg abbott one of the first governors to reopen his state, now taking steps to walk it back. Bars must close but can still serve takeout or delivery. There are new restrictions on restaurant capacity and additional limits on outdoor crowds. Houston is now a hot spot. Some local officials want the governor to do more. There is no evidence out there to show that anything short of a stayhome order will do. We have between 10 and 30 days before we hit capacity if we keep going at these rates. Reporter here in harris county, the local covid Warning System is being raised to its highest level, severe, indicating an uncontrolled outbreak, a strain on testing and tracing and a recommendation for people to stay home. It comes as texas continues to smash its daily record of new confirmed covid19 cases. Hospitalizations have been climbing since the middle of june. Were seeing a trend towards a younger population both in our Community Testing as well as who is being admitted to our hospitals. Reporter some Health Officials blame the states early reopening. It is a layering effect. It layered on top of each other. So first you had restaurants at some percentage and then gyms and hair salons and then bars and restaurants at a higher percentage. Mothers day. On top of that you had memorial day. Then you had the marches. You turn around and youve had other graduations. Reporter a popup hospital that opened in a houston parking lot early in the pandemic could soon reopen inside the nrg center, home to the houston texans. This virus is out of control in houston. If we dont act to get it under control, very bad, extremely bad things will happen. Sickness, death, our economy progressively getting shut in. Reporter a city that thought the worst was behind them now facing an even greater challenge. And as we see these cases skyrocket in texas, we are also seeing the pattern emerge that has emerged in so many other states around the nation. The new cases largely affecting people in their 20s and 30s. Thats one of the reasons you see the governor going after these gatherings happening inside of bars. Also, again, as weve seen throughout the course of this pandemic as its ravaged this country, we are seeing that these cases are predominantly affecting black people and hispanic people. Ana. Thank you for all that information, alexandra field. We are staying on top of breaking news this hour. What we are learning about russia and an apparent plot to kill u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Youre live in the cnn newsroom. Stay right there. Can i find an Investment Firm with a truly longterm view thats been through multiple market cycles for over 85 years . With capital group, i can. Talk to your financial professional or consultant for investment risks and information. Breaking news. Cnn has learned that Russian Military intelligence recently offered Cash Payments to taliban militants in afghanistan in a plot to kill u. S. Troops. I want to get right to Jeremy Diamond at the white house. Jeremy, what is the white house now saying about all this . Reporter well, a european intelligence official told cnn earlier today that this Russian Military unit known as the gru did indeed offer cash rewards to taliban militants to carry out attacks and kill american or other Coalition Forces in afghanistan. Now, the New York Times is also reporting that u. S. Officials reached this conclusion several months ago and that President Trump was indeed briefed on these conclusions. The white house, ana, is denying that the president was briefed on this, but they are not denying the validity of the intelligence itself. Let me read you a statement from the White House Press secretary. She writes the United States receives thousands of intelligence reports a day and they are subject to strict scrutiny. While the white house does not routinely comment on alleged intelligence or internal deliberations, the cia director, the National Security advisor and the chief of staff can all confirm that neither the president nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged russian bounty intelligence. This does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but to the inaccuracy of the New York Times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on the matter. So again, you can see there the white house very careful in its wording there, denying that the president was briefed on this but not attacking the credibility of the report as it relates to the intelligence here, which is startling, that russia, a strategic adversary of the United States, would offer cash rewards to taliban militants to take out american soldiers in afghanistan. Now, the question, ana, if the white houses explanation is to be believed is why . Why was the president not briefed on something so significant as this . That is a question that the president and the white house will have to answer in the coming days. Ana. Jeremy die mondamond, thank. For more i want to bring in an advisor to nixon, reagan, clinton, david gergen and april ryan. So former Vice President biden has now responded to the New York Times report that alleges russia offered these bounties to afghan militants to kill u. S. Troops. Here he is. He had this information according to the times and yet he offered to host putin in the United States and sought to invite russia to rejoin the g7. His entire presidency has been a gift to putin. Its a betrayal of every single American Family with a loved one serving in afghanistan or anywhere overseas, and im quite frankly outraged by the report. Again, the white house is now denying the president was briefed on this. But if the New York Times reporting is accurate, this would mean the president was briefed on this in late march. In early may he announced the u. S. Had a great friendship with russia. Later that same month he reiterated his desire to invite russia into the g7. David, you have worked in four white houses. Why wouldnt a president have been briefed on intelligence like this . He would have been. In every single white house that ive ever worked in and every single white house i know anything about. This is very, very important information. It does affect the relationship between russia. He would have been briefed instantaneously. It would have been in the materials sent in to him and it would have been discussed with him. And i think Vice President biden makes a very good point. Just within this same time frame the president has extended an olive branch to putin, inviting him to this g7 meeting over the objections of chancellor merkel and others who do not want that to happen. The president stood up for him. All of that suggests that this is a much more complicated story, that what were possibly facing is that the white house the president was briefed but he has reasons relating to his reelection and his relationship with russia that he does not that hes being very dovish about this. Mike pompeo, i would imagine, remains hawkish on russia. April, this is a familiar pattern. The president hits back at everyone, it seems, but vladimir putin. Why . Well, you know, im going to piggyback off of what david said. This is a very complicated story and the devil is in the details and in the weeds. And if this New York Times reporting is true, it shows that this president does not understand whats in the best interests of the American Public, particularly the national interests. It also says that those in the National Security community that are close to the president that circulate and surround him, they dont have the power to go tell him this is wrong, lets move, lets act. We also find that if this reporting is true, that russia wants to dominate the west. They want to dominate. But the key issue here is the fact that russia continues to do this. If this is true, russia continues to do this because they are not being punished. So this is very complicated. And if this president does have a relationship with putin and all of this is happening, something is deadly wrong. This is deadly. This is a National Security issue. I want to turn to the coronavirus pandemic because of course on that other issue theres a lot more to learn. But right now our country is facing a serious crisis. David, the Washington Post reporting this hour that the Trump Campaign ordered staffers at his tulsa rally to remove social distancing stickers. We have video of it. These stickers had been placed on every other seat. This is the same rally where multiple staffers and secret Service Members ended up testing positive. David, what is the calculus here . You know, the one thing thats common between the russian story and this story is in both cases, at the white house, there seems to be a disregard for protecting american lives. That other things seem more important. You know, removing the stickers, putting more people on the ground, having a bigger rallying cry, going to the press and say look how wonderful we are seems to be more important than the danger of inviting people in to what could be hospitalization, what could be ultimate death for some people. Weve seen this spike now, spike in state after state, mostly in the south and the southeast that says, you know, theres something were opening we opened way too early on the coronavirus. Were paying a price for it. But where is the regard for life or for protecting people . One other thing, ana, thats just sort of dumbfounding. You know the Vice President s staff has been worried about whether he should make these trips to campaign trips this coming week to the west. The Vice President , they sent him out yesterday to proclaim how wonderful everything is. Today they cancelled his trips to these places because obviously its too dangerous to go and have the kind of rally they would like. There is you know, those two things are in direct contradiction to each other. Well, my understanding is, just to be clear, that they cancelled the campaign portion of the trips so there wont be the special events, but hes supposed to be actually meeting with Health Officials in those states regarding the pandemic. I do want you guys to take a listen, though, to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell at a town hall just earlier today. Until we find a vaccine, these are really important. This is a way to indicate that you want to protect others. You see him holding the mask there. Then you have republican congresswoman liz cheney tweeting this picture of her father wearing a mask with the hash tag realmenwearmasks. And now listen to the Vice President just yesterday. We would just encourage every american to follow the guidelines for all the phases, continue to practice good hygiene, wash your hands, avoid touching your face, disinfect frequently. People who feel sick should stay home and when it comes to businesses, social distancing, protective equipment, temperature checks, testing and isolation. He doesnt even say you should wear a face covering. April, these are now Top Republicans urging americans to wear masks and yet the Vice President cant bring himself to do it. What is the administrations issue with masks . Its a political thing, ana. But youre supposed to lead by example. And at this point this supports my title of spreader in chief. At the end of the day the white house right now is trying to protect the president , sanitizing and doing all that they can to keep the president safe. But what about the president keeping us safe . Thats the issue. If dick cheney, a staunch supporter of donald trump, is wearing a mask, they are trying to send a message to not only the American People but particularly to the party who is supporting President Trumps nonmask wearing self. At the end of the day, this virus, this deadly virus does not Pay Attention to politics. Death knows no politics. But when you get to Mitch Mcconnell and dick cheney wearing a mask, its saying this is beyond your amendment rights. This is about your life. Right. And so, david, youve seen this no mask attitude trickle down to the state level with multiple republican governors not man dating them despite cases surging. Is this a decision purely based on politics instead of science . I have to wonder, in what world would this be good politics . Well, its not good politics, thats one of the reasons the president s polls have been dropping so sharply here in the last few weeks. People can see whats going on. The American Public is a lot smarter than people in washington think. And what they can see is that the administration has a scientist and then they bring out the Vice President and the president himself who sabotage what the scientists are saying. And we now have had the roaring big spikes coming back. You know, thank goodness Mitch Mcconnell did speak up. Thank goodness dick cheney did speak up. But where is the rest of the Republican Party . Where is the leadership in the party . They do bear responsibility for how this unfolds, especially starting at the top in the white house. David gergen and april ryan, thank you as always. Thank you, ana. Coming up, 2020 was supposed to be the year we saw Harriet Tubman on the 20 bill. But the Trump Administration has other plans.

But the Reason Police confronted floyd in the first place was he was suspected of using a counterfeit 20 bill, a bill that was supposed to feature Harriet Tubman this year until that release was pushed back by the Trump Administration. Laura coates reports. Reporter its a name the president often invokes when talking about american heroes. Harriet tubman, Harriet Tubman. Reporter but the president has stopped short of memorializing her by placing Andrew Jackson on the front of the 20 bill. I think its pure political correctness. Andrew jackson had a great history and i think its very rough when you take somebody off the bill. Reporter first, speaking of history, president Andrew Jackson was a slave holder and signed legislation removing native americans from their land. Nevertheless, trump has longadmired jackson, visiting his home in nashville. Im a fan. Im a big fan. Reporter and moving his portrait to the oval office where he even hosted a group of Navajo Veterans right in front of that painting. You were here long before any of us were here. Reporter second, no one sought to remove Andrew Jackson from the bill entirely. A redesigned bill simply moves him to the back of the bill and features Harriet Tubman on the front. This decision came during the obama administration, a decision that was also voted on by americans, initiating a timeline to unveil the bills redesign in 2020, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote. Four years later, the plans for release have been pushed back a decade. Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin telling reporters earlier this month, this is something that is in the distant future. But the new bill wont be released until 2030. So, what accounts for the delay . Mnuchin claims it is a security concern.
