Peaks, and if youre in any one of these 32 states, you are seeing surging infections as the country surpasses 125,000 deaths. At least 11 states are now pausing plans to further reopen their economies. Arizona, texas, florida and others delaying their next phases of reopening. For example, suspending drinking at bars and limiting capacity at restaurants and other businesses to 50 to 75 . But as states grapple with the virus spiking, an optimistic tone is coming from the white house. Vice president mike pence saying at the first Coronavirus Task force briefing in two months that the u. S. Is opening, im quoting now, safely and responsibly. Weve all seen the encouraging news as we open up america again. More than 3 million jobs created in the last jobs report, retail sales are rolling. And of course the extraordinary progress in new york, new jersey, connecticut and new orleans, areas that just a matter of a month ago were struggling under the weight of this pandemic. We have a team of reporters around the country covering the latest developments. Lets begin in florida with those staggering new case numbers. Cnns randy kay is in riviera beach. How are folks reacting . Reporter not well. The news is not good, 9,585 cases here in florida in just the last 24 hours, up more than 600 from the day before, as you said. Not good. Put the governor says it is all about the testing. He says that theres been a test dump, that theyve increased testing. In fact, theyve almost doubled it from 24,000 to 45,000 tests a day, so thats been what he says is cause for the increase actually. But we are seeing a higher Positivity Rate in the state of florida, mostly among young people, 3335 years old, mostly asymptomatic cases. When you look at people out and about and going to restaurants, you wonder if any of those young people hes talking about who are asymptomatic could be part of that group. Still the governor in the state of florida saying im not going to mandate masks. Im going to leave it up to the local governments. Im going to trust that people are going to make the right decisions. We saw a lot of people out here all day today without any masks on, even though it is mandated here in Palm Beach County where i am. We talked to a few of them and heres what one of them told me. No, i left my mask in the car. But because of social distancing can take place here and you cannot be close on everyone, i havent worn my mask out here on days most of the time. But i do have it in the car, so when i go to stores and other establishments, when im indoors i wear it. But outside were able to social distance and be beyond six feet and i havent necessarily worn it. Reporter granted, outside is safer, but even sanjay gupta has said that its better to wear the mask when youre outdoors and here it is mandated in Palm Beach County. Orange county mandated, hollywood mandating it. People have strong opinions. Some people say we should wear it, its selfish not to wear it, or there are others who say im not going to wear it, i dont wear one when its flu season, i dont need to wear about wearing it for coronavirus. Clearly this is much more serious than just giving someone the cold. Quite the variation of rationales. Lets go to natasha chen in pensacola beach. How is the surge affecting people there, particularly the Business Owners . Reporter right, so yesterday is when the state shut down standalone bars. They now have to transition back to togo drinks and what theyve done, because people cant consume the alcohol inside, is that theyve set up these umbrellas and stools and tables out here not on their property. They were given permission to set that up so people can take the drinks and the food outside. Now, at the same time, restaurants that include bars can still operate, and so some of them feel very singled out by this. Here is one of the coowners of paddy o learys talking about the shift and having to close down a few weeks later. We cant stand another three months being shut down and just serving drinks, like togo drinks. Thats not going to pay the mortgage. Weve got a mortgage just like you do for a home. Weve got a mortgage, too. And our employees have to be paid and our vendors want paid also. So its going to be very tough if they do an extended period of time. Its going to really hurt. We cant survive on it. Its just going to come to a catastrophic conclusion for not only us, but for a lot of other owners. Reporter so were talking to some other owners as well. Everybody is kind of wondering whats going to happen because theres no date that theyve been given that they can reopen and their employees may have to reapply for unemployment. And speaking of the restaurants with bars that can still operate right now, we were at one of those restaurants last night. A lot of people coming in, of course, theyre maintaining social distancing and reduced capacity, but the bars in those restaurants are still fully operational, fred. All right. Natasha chen, thank you so much for that. Joining me now to talk about the rising case counts, the mayor of miami dade. Good to see you. How concerned are you about these rising numbers . I mean, florida now seeing more than 9,000 new cases in a single day. Your county in particular has been hit hard by the coronavirus as well. Well, what concerns me is not so much the rising number as it is the rising Positivity Rate. We ran a medical study here a couple of months ago that indicated over 200,000 people here had the antibodies. So we know that the official count is probably underreporting really the number of people that have had coronavirus here by a factor of ten or maybe even 20. But the rising number of positives, the percentage, is really what is causing me some concern. We were running around 8 and now were running the last two weeks over 14 . So thats whats causing me a little bit of concern. What do you think is behind that . Well, without a doubt weve seen a huge spike in the 1834yearold group and the 3544yearold group. These two groups have spiked way up. The older folks like me, im 66, weve seen a rise, but nowhere close to the spike and the rise weve seen in the younger population. Look, in the last 11 weeks, actually last nine weeks, weve seen a decrease in the average age of positives come from 54 years old down to 43, and we expect that to keep coming down. Thats the problem were facing, its the younger people that are getting infected, which may then give it to their parents or grandparents, which again is the age group were concerned about. Youve just taken a big, bold step, if we can call it that. After the florida governor, ron desantis, being one of the first governors to begin reopening beaches in may, and now you have said to everyone, hey, Miami Dade County beaches and parks are going to be closed fourth of july holiday weekend. I guess you could have done it this weekend. What is it that you are saying to people about closing the beaches on what is typically a very busy, popular time in which to go to the beaches, july fourth weekend . Look, i did that in consultation with the governor. He knew exactly what i was going to do and he was in favor of it. He understands that things are different here in miami dade. We expected huge crowds to be at the beach. It would have been very hard for us to control our social distancing and having people abide by the rules. Weve also seen here in the last, lets say, couple of holidays when you have, say, mothers day or when you have memorial day, two weeks later we see a spike in the number of cases. We saw a spike in the number of cases. We thought the same thing would happen now and we dont want a spike on top of a spike. And so in order to be proactive we took the step of closing the beaches down. We also will close the parks at 8 00 so there wont be any fireworks. We also reiterated our prohibition on groups of more than 50 people and also we are now, in the hot spots, we are putting what we call surge teams out, giving out masks and hand sanitizers in those zip codes where were seeing a spike in the number of cases in order to try to bring this positive rate down, down below 10 . Thats what we want to see. Among those measures, i didnt hear you say anything about mandating of masks, like miami has mandated that. Theres a 500 fine if youre not wearing your mask. And you said you consulted with the governor. Have you also been talking to the mayors of any of those beach communities in your county about other drastic measures that you want to take . Or maybe i shouldnt say drastic, just measures you want to take. Listen, i talked to all the mayors, but in actuality what we set as the rules here in Miami Dade County are the rules for everybody. Cities can do more than what we do, but ours is the base. They cant do less than what we do. So i speak to whats called the Dade County League of cities all the time, three times a week, and tell them and we discuss the things we need to do, what the orders that im going to issue. Each city has a right to be more stringent, but they cant be less stringent. We have had a policy here in miami dade that you must wear a mask indoors all the time, you must wear a mask outdoors when you cannot maintain a social distance of six feet. Thats still the rule here in miami dade. I spoke to our medical advisers. Theyre okay with that rule. Other cities can be more strict and i understand that some coasting cities, miami beach, they have a lot of people Walking Around and it would be really tough for somebody to put their mask on and take it off. So it kind of makes sense to say just leave the mask on all the time and it makes it easier for enforcement. But those are the rules here in miami dade and they have been in place for two months. Are you hearing from people, citizens, people who have made plans to travel there for fourth of july . Are people mad that theyre not going to be able to go to the beach fourth of july weekend . Im sorry if they are, but safety comes first. Im a firefighter, a former paramedic. Again, i speak to my medical advisers all the time. We have seen spikes in previous holiday weekends. We dont want to see the same thing happen. Weve seen spikes in the younger people, which are the ones more apt to go to the beach, party, do all those things. So were actually targeting those things that younger people will be doing and want to do it together as groups, because thats where the problem is right now. We dont want them their contamination rate, their infection rate to increase. They, in turn, can then bring it home to their parents and grandparents. Those are the things were doing. And im sorry if youre coming to south florida or coming to miami and you wont be able to go to the beach. Theres still a lot of other things you can do. But i have to look out for the health and welfare of the people of Miami Dade County first. Mayor carlos jimenez, thank you so much. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Still ahead, youre going to see more of this. Why people are honking right in anaheim california, not far from disneyland. Well explain. Ice will do. Thats why were expanding your range of choices.

This just in, staggering new coronavirus numbers are being reported in california. Moments ago the state said more than 5,900 cases were confirmed in just the last 24 hours. As the case count grows, some workers at disneyland are pleading with the company to keep the park closed. Were following the protests this afternoon. Paul, this is quite the contrast. You have so many people across the country who are saying open up business. Employees here at disneyland are saying no, were not ready to come back. Whats going on . Reporter disneyland is saying no for now at least. You look and the cars are all part of the protest. Disneyland delaying its opening. It was scheduled for the 17th of july but they saw the coronavirus spike and disneyland is saying when it does reopen that it will have reduced capacity, temperature checks for guests before they show up and temperature checks for employees when they leave their shift at the end of the day, increased cleaning. They also expect to have more social distancing in place. But yeunion reps are saying we need more routine testing when it does open. Here is one of the union reps. We should note disneyland has about 20 unions. Austin lynch, super quick, when this park reopens, what do you want them to do . They need a comprehensive plan, that begins with testing, which theyre saying no to. Theyve got to tell us the details. We asked them what happens if a cook gets sick, how are you going to test and protect the other folks in the department . They dont know. How are you going to handle the increased cleaning . They dont know. Beyond that, we asked them you need to do comprehensive regular testing. Theyre not willing to do it. Our members lives are precious and when you open the theme parks, you open california to the world. So if were going to do it, we say do it tomorrow if it can be done safely, but do not do it until you have a plan to keep everybody safe. They dont have that right now. We appreciate you taking time ought. To austins point, disneyland gets Something Like 21 million visitors a year, so it is a litmus test for all of california, fred. It is, indeed. Thank you so much. So california is experiencing a surge in covid cases and so is texas, its seeing an increase. Joining me right now is dr. Cedric dark, assistant professor at Baylor College of medicine. Good to see you. Good to see you as well. I understand this is kind of full circle for us. I understand that you may have treated one of my parents, my mom or dad. And now here you are in texas and texas is the birth state of both of my parents. So here we are again, this time talking covid. Lets talk about this surge. According to a recent Antibody Survey by the cdc, the total number of coronavirus cases may actually be six to 24 times greater than current levels. If that is the case, what should be happening to contain these staggering numbers . Well, i would certainly say thats true. One of the reasons why the numbers are probably higher than were seeing is we cant test everybody. Were still at a point where were not able to get tests to every Single Person that we would like to in our Emergency Departments around the country and specifically in texas as well. One of the things we need to do is ask the public to wear masks when theyre out, to remain physically distant and we need our politicians to listen to Health Care Workers on the front lines of this. If we dont do that, were going to wind up in a terrible position where the coronavirus rates are going up. And as you can see, hospitalizations are going up and the next thing after that, were going to run out of icu space. Some would argue that we are there now in some pockets. So how personally frustrating and professionally frustrating is this for you that it seems like a broken record, so many of you in the medical community are saying at a minimum, wear your masks. But then you hear people arguing against it or even just Walking Around pretty defiant, theyre not going to wear the masks. Yeah, honestly, this is, as you said, both professionally and personally frustrating for myself and for a lot of my colleagues. When you look at a place like texas and compare it to a place like australia where they have a better handle on this disease than we have here, we have similar population sizes, 25, 29 million people. But a couple of differences, in australia they have universal coverage. In texas we have about 18 of our population uninsured. I think you had the mayor of miami on before, florida, 13 uninsured. Thats one huge reason why we have this problem, is that we dont have coverage for patients and it makes it difficult for them to access care when they need to. The other thing thats very important that our federal government has failed on is countries like australia have mandatory paid leave. So if people want to go to work, but are sick, they can stay home and actually be covered for that. Whereas here, people that need to pay their bills have to show up whether theyre feeling ill or not and that puts everybody in society at risk. So in texas, Governor Greg Abbott admits that he allowed bars to reopen too quickly, but in your view is the damage already done . Well wait and see what actually happens. Ive been pretty hard on Governor Abbott because i think he made a huge mistake in terms of reopening the texas economy a little too fast. Im happy that he admitted his fault and that he opened the bars too fast and other parts of the economy too quickly. He dialed it back down a little bit to what we call phase two of the texas reopening, but in my opinion i think he needs to dial it down further to phase one where restaurants are only open at 25 capacity. Because as weve seen, once we open up to phase two, the number of cases and hospitalizations in texas started to increase pretty much exponentially. If we dont get it back down to a slower rate of growth, this is going to get out of hand and we wont be able to control it. The virus doesnt care what we do about our economy. The virus is just going to infect people willynilly if we dont slow things down ourselves. Doctor, thank you so much. Thank you for all that you and your colleagues are doing.

This as cases spike across texas, causing a top official in the houston area to raise the countrys coronavirus threat warning to the highest level. Cnns Alexander Field joining me now from houston. Alexandra. Reporter look, the reopening in texas was quick. Were starting to see steps to roll it back. Those are happening slowly, though, largely targeting bars and restaurants. People are saying the governor should do more, and if he doesnt, its up to individuals to take greater action to protect themselves and their neighbors. I spoke to one Restaurant Owner who said he was pleased when they started to reopen, but he said there were people that didnt act responsibly that led to this surge weve been seeing for days and weeks in texas. He decided, despite regulations that said he could keep his restaurant open, to shut it down in order to protect his employees. One Public Health official saying it was a series of events that led to the compounding problem here. Listen to this. Weve been calling this the effect that reopening has happened, weve had holidays and activities that generally you see a few weeks after any one activity for you to start to see an increase in transmission and or you start to see increased cases or whats happening in the hospital system. Reporter as texas struggles to contain the spread of the virus, now we are seeing new restrictions being placed on outdoor gatherings, of course youve got july fourth just around the corner. Here in harris county, which has been hard hit by the new surge in cases, being are being told if they want to see fireworks, theyve got to do it from their car. Thanks so much.

In new york, Governor Andrew Cuomo is launching an investigation into a drivethrough graduation which may now be the site of a potential coronavirus outbreak. How did this happen possibly . Reporter this is really a story about that surge in florida everyone is talking about reaching its way all the way up here to new york where the story of covid lately has been pretty good. According to the governors office, there was a person, an individual that went to florida to a trip. Came back to go to a drivethrough Graduation Ceremony and an unofficial field day in westchester county. That individual had covid and gave it to some other people, it looks like. Theyre now launching an investigation into the incident, both the drivethrough graduation and the field day and asking everyone who attended those events to quarantine until july 5th. So its another story of just how important it is to keep this quarantine going and its also a story about the end of the school year, which everyone has been trying to make as safe as possible with these drivethrough graduations, how difficult that actually can still be. And another story that comes out of that is how difficult the next school year will be. I went to greenberg new york, right up the road from new york city, to take a look at the end of that School Districts school year and the coming of the next school year and what that challenge is for them. The last week of school is usually a time for fun and celebration. But this year at the greenberg Central School district just outside new york city, the end of the School Year Just brings Big Questions about the next one. We left in march thinking we would be back in two weeks, and here its june and were packing up. Do i set up for fall . I dont know. Teachers were allowed back inside their classrooms for the First Time Since the pandemic started. When i first came in this morning, i had winter stuff out still because it was cold. So i put snowmen away. Cleaning out a time capsule of the day students left back in march. To sort of leave things the way they were was a little bit out of a Science Fiction movie. These days going into a School Building means temperature checks and frequent disinfecting. Where people go and what rooms they enter is closely monitored and its still not enough. Governor andrew cuomo signed an executive order in early june allowing schools to open for inperson instruction of special education students on july 6th. After scrambling to make it work, they had to take a pass. I dont have the staff and i dont have the therapists to provide the services these children need. The superintendent is now focused on planning for the fall, but thats also a challenge when nothing is certain. Were in the phase of making sure we have mult monthly plans in preparation for whatever is going to happen in september, but planning is key. What i believe its going to look like in september is that were going to have to have a hybrid model. Under consideration are plans for students to be in class half the day and online at home half the day. But thats not finalized yet. In fact, nothing is. New york stools are still waiting for guidance from the state. The next school year is getting closer by the day. How long do you have to make a decision . When do you have to make the call . Really, like now. Actually, we dont have much time because there has to be a point of planning, there has to be a point of then communicating that plan, because we do have parents who are apprehensive. With that apprehension in mind, greenberg is developing a plan to let parents who dont want their kids at school before theres a vaccine to continue to send them to class completely online. I feel that we would have to wait until possibly february. I think we should stay home until february when all of this virus is away so that everyone can be safe. Reporter so this story really illustrates just how difficult schooling is coming up, and right now. The story out of here in new york, this investigation today into four individuals who caught covid at a drivethrough graduation and the event surrounding it, just speaks to how hard this process is in americas schools, fred. Definitely. I think so. Many parents are just at a loss about how to plan, what to do, along with those educators. So quickly on the drivethrough graduation, presumably that person, he or she, didnt know that they were positive before embarking on the drivethrough graduation after leaving florida . Well, according to the information that we have from the governors office, the person was not symptomatic when they attended these graduation events. But then while there, spread the disease to four people and now everyone else there is being investigated. So it looks like one of those situations where an asymptomatic person helped to spread the disease, which is one of the reasons why theres parental apprehension about the next school year. Right. Thank you so much. Lets talk more now about how and when schools could start. Joining me right now, randy winegarden, the president of the American Federation of teachers, the second Largest Teachers Union in the country. All of that just underscores the concerns, the worry, the trepidation of educators and parents. How in the world do we proceed . How do any of us plan for whats ahead . So let me just say theres four things we have to do right now, and its complicated and its a logistical nightmare, which is part of the reason you see this level of uncertainty and really immobilization. But what is happening right now is we have to follow the science, which means safety and then wellbeing of kids and then instruction of kids. So number one, next year is going to look really different than anything anybody has ever imagined before. Number two, we actually have to follow the safety and the science and weve learned a lot. Weve learned that physical distancing and masks like this one or any of the others, as well as cleaning a school, those three things really work. And how did we learn that . We learned that from the rec centers that did child care and where kids and teachers were basically didnt get sick. Number two, we need the money from washington, because its going to cost us more, not less. And number three, there needs to be real collaboration. And so whats happening in greenberg and so many other places is, because we dont have the funding yet from washington, theres a lot of superintendents, as well as governors, that are really up in the air because youre going to have to have any place where we reopen, and i believe we have to reopen before a vaccine is there. Were going to have to have physical distancing and were going to have to have masks and were going to have to have cleaning, and then we talk about what we need to do for kids, including wellbeing and instruction. Wow, except randi, all of that to me sounds like a recipe of theres no way kids could end up in any school this fall. Because money, as you mentioned, money is key to have all the resources to put all of those protective measures in place, and to make sure that you have the right kind of educational tools for everybody once they come back, and respecting all of those conditions that you just said. But, you know, this is why if you hear the frustration in my voice, we put out a plan at the end of april. Weve been actually raising issues about coronavirus since the begin of february. But part of the problem, fredricka, is that the federal government is so conflicting in what it has said. But i think whats happened finally is that because the virus has come back with a vengeance in texas and florida and arizona, all of a sudden people are saying, wow, there really is a virus. So hopefully there at least will be reliance on science. We learned from the Child Care Centers that essential Service Workers sent their kids to, even in the height of it in march and april in new york, teachers and kids didnt get sick. We protected them by having the ppe and the physical distancing. That is why i am religious about those two things and then well have to have a coccommodations. Im 62 and with asthma. I need to have you back probably almost every weekend until School Starts because there isnt enough time to cover all of this and we have so many more questions. Good to see you. Be well. We want you back very soon because theres so much more to cover. Appreciate it. Of course. And this just in, from princeton university, the board of trustees has voted to remove Woodrow Wilsons name from the school of international affairs.

The surge is driven by massive outbreaks in the regions largest country such as brazil, which is now second only to the United States in the number of cases. For more on this, lets bring in matt rivers in mexico city. Matt, what is the plan ahead . There have been some Success Stories in terms of smaller countries in latin america containing the outbreak. But its the larger countries, as you mentioned, brazil, mexico, peru, where these outbreaks are really bad and only getting worse. When the World Health Organization vifrt callfirst ca america and the craribbean the epicenter, cases and now its tripled, more than 3. 2 million cases and counting. The exponential growth has been fueled by horrific outbreaks in the regions largest countries. None of them worse than brazil. Its number of cases have doubled since the end of may, now at more than 1. 2 million, second in the world behind only the United States. Protesters dug a symbolic cemetery to acknowledge the more than 55,000 so far who have died from covid19. And you could call president Jair Bolsonaro brazils skeptic in chief as he has routinely downplayed the viruss threat and ignored the human cost. But on thursday, a rare moment during the president s facebook live. He asked the head of his Tourism Agency to play music on his accordion to acknowledge those who had died from the virus. He went on to say he thinks he might have had the coronavirus and he might do another test for the disease. And a test is something mexican the president should probably consider after his finance minister tested positive for the virus. On monday the president tweeted this video in which he is standing right next to that minister, not social distanced, not wearing a mask. He hasnt said if hell now get a coronavirus test and hes never worn a mask in public. But it might be a good example to set in a country where cases have more than doubled since june 1st. Mexicos death toll now at more than 25,000, will certainly surpass spains in the coming days. Meanwhile, the virus is relatively under control in places like belize and pairiand honduras president has tested positive for covid19 and is in the hospital. In the absence of effective treatments or a widely available vaccine, we expect that over the next two years in the region of the americas, we will experience reoccurring covid19 outbreaks. Reporter in the nearer term, the International Monetary fund said the combined gdp in latin america and the caribbean could shrink nearly 10 this year. Theyre predicting by october the region wide death toll will be near 440,000. Brazil has Something Like 100 million less people than the United States, and yet it has recorded more than 40,000 newly confirmed cases in a day, three times in just the last week alone. The United States only did that for the first time just yesterday. So it just shows you how bad things are in brazil when were talking about global outbreaks. There is no plan at least in that country so far to really substantively make this outbreak much better. It doesnt sound like there are any ideas on how to turn those things around for now. Matt rivers, thank you so much. The European Union is about to reopen international travel, but that will likely not include americans. Its expected eu leaders will consider the coronavirus case count in the u. S. Too high, and as of now the u. S. Leads the world in both cases and deaths. Brazil and russia, number two and three on that list, and they likely, too, will be barred. And you can see the difference in the rise in cases in the u. S. Represented by the green line, compared to countries in the European Union which you see represented in pink. And they are trending downward. And a quick programming note, 2020 is becoming a year of historic change in the fight for racial equality in america. For some it is reminiscent of another year.
