Moment. But first, another tragic day in america as the coronavirus pandemic shows no signs of slowing down. Johns hopkins reporting the fourthstraight day of over 1,000 deaths in the u. S. This, as the number of cases rise to more than 1. 4 million. The fda authorized its first test to positivity identify covid19 in people who show no symptoms. The significance of that coming up. Lets begin this hour with the disturbing upward trend of coronavirus deaths in this country. Cnns Polo Sandoval is standing by for us. Polo, we just got new troubling numbers out of florida that are only exacerbating the national crisis. What more can you tell us . Reporter fred, that certainly suggests that each day seems to bring another grim milestone across the country. Of course, the last couple weeks we certainly have been talking quite a bit about florida. So Florida Health officials there releasing the latest updated numbers now indicating that at least another 12,000 new cases and at least another 124 deaths. Do the math, you look at the numbers that we have seen in the past now showing that at least 409,000 floridians have been confirmed to have the coronavirus at one point and also now the death toll now close to 5,700 people. Look at a more National Picture now, not just florida, but california as well. Also surpassing 400,000 and texas close behind now with 380,000 which means these are really the states now hardest hit by covid19. Reporter six months into the pandemic and some of the nations coronavirus stats are going from bad to worse. As the nation surpassed 4 million covid cases and over 145,000 deaths this week, california beat out new york as the state with the most infections to date. When we began to reopen our economy, we so we focussed so much on when, but we didnt focus enough on how to not only do it but to educate individuals. On friday, california recorded its highest number of covid deaths in hardhit l. A. County Health Officials are warning the virus may soon become a leading cause of death among residents. Covid cases seem to be plateauing in some of texass largest cities. But in one small south texas border county patients may be sent home to die of a hospital, ethics and Triage Committee deems them too sick to recover. The local county judge says their hospital is at capacity. Thats also a common struggle for Health Facilities in florida which saw a nearly 84 increase in covid hospitalizations since july 4th. As statistics hit recordbreaking highs in the south and west, parts of the northeast are experiencing lows not seen since march. On friday, new york recorded its lowest number of hospitalizations nearly four months. And with the approaching school year, just weeks away, parents and teachers facing uncertainty about when or if inperson classes will resume amid a push to open schools. Kids ought to have the option to learn in person and virtually. I believe they ought to have choices. If teachers have vulnerable immune systems, they ought to have options as well. But we have to get our kids back into a school in a safe way. If you are going to bring the children back reporter the nations leading Infectious Disease expert dr. Anthony fauci urging School Districts not to rush to any decisions. There are a lot of people with underlying conditions out there, so i think when you talk about forcing teachers to come back to school, you better be careful about that and make sure you Pay Attention to, a, keeping them safe and, b, keeping them healthy. Reporter fauci not ruling out outdoor teaching as a way to get students back to school. I wear this all the time and recommending face coverings be worn in the classroom. Back here in new york we mentioned those dropping hospitalization numbers also icu rates throughout new york state also showing significant signs of improving in some of the latest some of the lowest that we have seen since march. What is slightly concerning right now, fred, for new york officials is a significant increase in covid cases for people in their 20s, all the way up to their 30s. Governor andrew cuomo saying part of that is because these large groups we have seen congregate outside of restaurants and bars. So you can expect today special task force thats been appointed by new york state to be out in full force trying to implement not only social distancing but also mask wearing as well. All right, Polo Sandoval. Thank you so much. Well check back with you. Georgia now reporting its highest number of coronavirus cases in a single day since the start of the pandemic. The state reporting nearly 5,000 new infections friday as Governor Brian Kemp and Atlanta MayorKeisha Lance Bottoms continue to spar over coronavirus restrictions. Cnns natasha chen joining me now from atlanta. Natasha, what more are you learning . Reporter well, fred, the good news is that Atlanta MayorKeisha Lance Bottoms and georgia Governor Brian Kemp have been ordered to go through mediation and they are supposed to do that before tuesday. Of course, mayor bottoms on thursday said during a Virtual Press conference that they are trying to work out, trying to iron out their differences. She also mentions that they had a good conversation on a phone call wednesday between her and the governor. She said the two of them are in agreement that masks save lives. However, within the last 24 hours, Governor Kemp tweeted a list of accomplishments he has done for the people of georgia and one was he filed this lawsuit to stop businesses from closing. And of course, when he filed this lawsuit, he mentioned he did this on behalf of atlanta businesses who were frustrated with the citys rollback to phase 1. But keep in mind this rollback is a set of recommendations for businesses, like restaurants, to go back to curb side pickup or delivery only. In fact, many restaurants have decided to stay open any way knowing that the statewide rules allow them to be open. Governor kemp also listed some other things hes been doing, such as signing a new contract to ramp up testing, continuing a partnership with hospitals to expand bed capacity, securing millions of masks for local government and, as he says, launching the four things in four weeks campaign. So hes asking the people of georgia to do four things. To wear a mask, to socially distance, to wash hands and to follow kal health guidelines. If this is done for four weeks this can help spread the curb of the virus which as you said friday saw a record in the state more than 4,800 new cases reported. That breaks a record that was set just one week ago, fred. Uhhuh. So, now, what about parents in gwinnett county, a suburb of atlanta which that county has georgias highest coronavirus rates. These parents are protesting to get kids back in school. What are their demands . Reporter well, i think what were hearing is that the apartments want options. They say they fully support the other parents who would like to keep their kids at home with virtual learning. But that some of these parents who perhaps have to go out of their homes to work at this point have no options as far as who is going to watch their children who have to stay at home doing this virtual learning. There were a couple hundred parents who gathered outside the School District yesterday to ask for that option. Gwinnett county schools had given that option up until recently when they changed to start the school year instead on august 12th virtual only because of the rising numbers that theyre seeing in their area, fred. Lots in flux. Natasha chen, thank you so much. Coming up, honoring a civil rights icon. Right now mourners are remembering congressman john lewis at Troy University in alabama.

Right now Memorial Service for congressman lewis is under way in his hometown of troy, alabama. Youre looking at live pictures right now inside trojan arena at Troy University. At any moment now were expecting to hear from lewis siblings. The late civil rights icon died last week after a sixmonth long battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 80 years old. Cnns Martin Savidge is in selma, alabama, where there will be another service this evening. Martin, alabama is where it all started in so many ways for the congressman the late congressman. Reporter absolutely, fred. I mean, selma, of course, is synonymous with the Voting Rights act the brown chapel is where dr. King and where john lewis planned and worked on those marches to montgomery. Including bloody sunday which john lewis became famous as a part of being beaten nearly to death. But now were in troy, his hometown. Many people know him as an icon and congressman from georgia for decades, but he is the son of alabama, born to sharecroppers on the outskirts of town. And he knew very quickly growing up the injustice of segregation. He experienced it, which is why he fought against both his entire life. And hes back home one last time. And his family and friends and that neighborhood there are all gathered to pay tribute inside trojan university on the university of troy. I should point out one of the problems they are dealing with is there are more people who wish to attend than can under the safety rules that are being applied due to the pandemic. There were about 800 tickets made available. You can see the social distancing taking place. After the service that will include family members. Then there will be a public visitation for two hours and then of course john lewis body will be moved to selma. There will be another Service Tonight and another public viewing and then tomorrow, one last trip over the bridge that was made famous on the road to montgomery. It will be a powerful moment. As you point out, that this is the celebration of the life of the boy from troy, a nickname given to john lewis by dr. Martin luther king when he met him for the very first time and nickname that john lewis proudly carried throughout the rest of his life. So many people warrant nt to pa tribute. Its Live Streaming online for those who wish to participate. Fredricka . Thank you so much. Tribute to someone who spent really his entire life, since the age of 15 with this commitment to try to improve the lives of everyone. Thank you so much, martin. Appreciate it. Joining me right now to talk more about the life and legacy of the late congressman lewis, mark morial, president of the National Urban league and former new orleans mayor. Mark, good to see you. Good morning, fred. Good to be with you. Thank you. So this is a day, it will be six days of celebrating the life of the late congressman. As these Funeral Services for john lewis get under way there in troy, what are some of the thoughts that come to mind for you . I think whats so appropriate about the week of celebration is that it will touch his birthplace, troy. It will touch selma, where so much of his important work took place. It will touch washington, d. C. Where he became an icon and the conscious of the nation. Then hell return home to atlanta where he was a Council Person as well as a member of congress for more than 30 years. I think in selma people should take a step and understand that in selma while theres great focus on what happened on bloody sunday and that was pivotal, the Selma Campaign and the campaign to register voters in alabama actually started in early 1963. And john lewis then with snick, Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee and county Voters League the county in alabama which selma is located and at that time it was a majority africanamerican county where less than 1 of the africanamerican voters were registered, that campaign met with the resistance for several years of jim clark, this outrageous violent segregation sheriff in dallas county. So, before bloody sunday, there had been beatings. There had been killings. There had been an out and out effort by the officials in alabama to prevent africanamericans from registering to vote and it continued, continued after the Civil Rights Act of 1964. John lewis was involved in that effort early. And it is notable that as a student activist, the sclc which dr. Kings led was not initially involved in the efforts in dallas county, not initially involved in selma but came in later on. The beating of john lewis was pivotal in that it dramatized once again the violence that africanamericans were facing in the south for the simple act of seeking to register to vote. In those days, it was so bad that there was an injunction in place for many, many months and maybe years that prevented a civil rights meeting from taking place. This was out and out oppression of the worst kind. You cant meet. You cant register to vote. So when dr. King got involved it was against the backdrop of moving in and bringing sclc on board because there had been so much resistance. And the events of bloody sunday and campaign in alabama prompted president johnson to introduce the Voting Rights act. Importantly people should recognize that the right to vote was contained in the original drafts of the Civil Rights Act of 64, but it was deleted because johnson felt he couldnt pass it in 64 and ultimately it passed in 65. John lewis role in this not only as bloody sunday but as a strategist and organizer prior to bloody sunday is so important to understand. He didnt just show up or march. He was involved in a deep campaign in that area and in that county. Through his dedication and then consequently through his sacrifice, i mean, look how he became such a catalyst in change as you just so aptly described. And isnt it something that as he would become an elected leader in congress, much later on and throughout his political and civil rights career and dedication he would be a mentor to so many along the way. Just as he reached out to Martin Luther king when he was just the age of 15 years old and next thing you know he was really part of this whole movement, he has been a mentor for you along the way as well. So tell me what that relationship was like, how it was built and how he shaped or influenced you. I asked him to support a fundraising event that was being held for me in atlanta in 1990, the first time i ran for public office. And he said yes. And he and andrew young and jackson and a number of others in atlanta came together to help me raise money very early in my political career. I didnt know john lewis except the icon the congressman, the civil rights leader. And he was very quick to say yes. I was in my early 30s at the time, very, very young. Very much, i think, wet behind the ears in politics. And he said, yes. And all throughout my time here as president of the National Urban league theres never an instance where we called and invited him to come and speak to spend time with us, wanted a moment of his time where he ever said no. The man was gracious. He was down to earth. He was relatable and reachable in a very special kind of way. I think thats what makes it an icon. He walked with king. He challenged kings and queens, but he never, ever lost this common touch, this real man image, this humility, this humanity. And i think that is, i think, true role model for leaders of these times that youve got to be able to walk with kings and speak truth to power but never lose the common touch. Marc morial, thank you so much. All of those things so beautifully describe his legacy and then bottom line if its succinctly one word for him, it also meant being accessible and you described how he did that. Thank you so much. Thanks, fred. The celebration of john lewis life and legacy will continue over the next six days. Well be there every step of the way. Meantime, todays services will conclude at brown chapel ame church in selma where he will lie in repose tomorrow morning. A military honor guard will accompany lewis body across the Edmund Pettus bridge one last time. Later on in the week the congressman is set to lie in state in montgomery, alabama, washington, d. C. , and atlanta before he is put to rest. Live pictures right now out of troy, one of his brothers about to speak. To our special guests, dr. Hawkins, welcome everyone but on behalf of the family, i would like to welcome and thank you each of you for coming. I had took the time to plan this long i would say list of accolades that john had accomplished, then i said to myself, they knew about all of that. I need to tell them some things about john that they might not know. The john lewis that i knew, the john lewis that i want you to know about, is the john lewis that would gravitate towards the least of us. Would drop by his 4yearold nephews birthday party, feed the hungry and homeless on thanksgiving day. Took the time to go by a young mans house in troy that had portrayed a Young John Lewis in his black history class, asking his Young Brothers to be part of his special guest list while receiving the medal of freedom from president barack obama. Making a surprise visit to his great nephews fifth grade class, always attending family functions, even if he could only stay for an hour or so because of his busy schedule. He was always concerned about the health and well being of his family. And members of others. To some of his life of john lewis, i would say he worked a life time to help others and made the world a better place in which to live. And on a personal note, i talked to john on thursday, the day before he passed, and we would always have these interesting conversations. He would always ask me, how is everybody doing . No matter how bad he felt. So we exchanged the love we had for each other thursday night rather. And his last word was, how is the family doing . How is everybody doing . And i said theyre doing fine. I said, will you make sure to tell them that i asked about them . And on a little bit of a humor side, when john was first sworn into congress, i think i got my year right, 1986, i was there. And during this swearing in ceremony, right before the swearing in ceremony, he looked up. He knew where i was sitting. And he looked up and he gave me the thumbs up. And i gave him the thumbs up back. So after the event was over, we was together. And i asked him, i said, john, what were you thinking when you gave me the thumbs up . He said i was thinking, this is a long ways from the cotton fields of alabama. And those are the memories that i have with my brother. We would have these late night conversations and Early Morning conversations where he would call me 11, 12 at night and hell ask me were you asleep . And i say, no. Im not asleep, john. But actually i was asleep. And hell say, have you heard from freddy or debby lately . Yes, talked to them a few days ago. I think ill call them. I said dont call them tonight. Call them tomorrow. Its late. Thats the john lewis we grew to love. And our family naturally will miss him. But he was at peace. He was at peace and he was ready to meet the lord. Thank you. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. My name is Jackson Lewis and congressman john lewis was his uncle and my hero. And its up to us to keep his legacy alive. Thank you, guys. Good morning. John robert lewis, my big brother. Humble man. Simple man. And a man of god. He always wanted to improve the lives of others without any concern for himself. His deep faith in god made him extraordinary. He was fearless by trusting in god because he was chosen. He lived with a never ending desire to help others. He often told us if you see something wrong, do something. His actions showed us just that. In a time when going to jail was perceived as trouble, he reminded us that it was good trouble, necessary trouble, see something, say something, do something. Thank you. It must have been cold there in my shadow to never have sunlight on your face youve been content to let me shine, thats your way you always walked a step behind i was the one with all the glory while you were the one with all the strength beautiful face without a name we never once heard you complain oh, did you ever know that you were our hero and everything we liked to be we can fly higher than an eagle, you were the wind beneath our wings did you ever know that youre my hero and everything we liked to be we can fly higher than an eag eagle, cause you are the wind beneath our wings you are the wind beneath our wings good morning. A tribute to a person whom you have known all of your life was hard for me. But im thankful for the treasure of memories that we shared with him. Preaching to us under that old pecan tree. He would preach and he probably need to pray also. But you know, robert, most everyone called him john, but he always been just robert to us. Family, our brother. Robert been preaching justice and equality even at a young age. At one of my brothers mentioned in the cotton field. We was farmers, our father. Everybody was farmers. And i remember so long ago when the clouds would come over the sun he would start singing and preaching. And he would always start with lets go home. Lets go home. And he was also afraid of the thunder and lightning, but he stood by he always was a fighter. And you know now when i look at all of the accolades, the pictures that i see all the time and i think about where he came from. Humble means. Humble. Always. And you know, and no one mentions all of his accolades, because you already know them. Yall know these. You already do. But he came from a humble beginning, always humble and respectful to others. So to my brother, robert, this is not a goodbye. Its just a different of hello. And you know when we talked, he always said, how are you doing . And he said this im well. So, rest well, robert. Rest well. Thank you. My name is freddy lewis. And like my sister said, he was just robert. We all known him by robert. And im from michigan. I stayed in michigan. And john had a speaking engagement at some college in michigan, way up north. And i drove, oh, a good distance to hear him speak. He spoke a different thing he did to the college. When it was over with he asked if there were any questions. I stood up. I stood up and said, yes. Robert, he said anybody call me robert from way up here . He said they got to know me personally. I said im your brother freddy. He said i got a brother that drove all the way up here to hear me speak. I want to hear brother grant. Every time he come closer to michigan, anywhere else, i was there. You know, to hear. Like i said, hes our brother. Brother robert. He was no john. He was just robert. And i loved him. Thank you. Good morning. I told my pastor i wasnt going to preach. But i am going to talk about my dear brother john. What can i say about congressman john robert lewis. Well, he was a congressman to most, john to others. Robert, and uncle robert to family, was the most Important Role he played for me was being my older brother. I can tell you so much about john robert lewis, but we would be here all day. And his work over the years has spoken for him. One of my childhood memories is when we was younger. Our mother would call me robert and call robert me because we looked so much alike even though we were nine years apart. I remember the day when john left home, mother told him not to get in trouble, not to get in the way and be particular. But we all know that john got in trouble, got in the way. But it was a good trouble. John was different from the rest of the family. And he would have thoughts that all others troubles he got himself into would change the world. And im so honored that john was my brother. And he will live forever in all our hearts. So keep johns legacy alive. Lets get out and vote. Keep your eyes on the prize. I love you, brother. Rest on. And i will see you again one day. Thats it. Young brother there samuel lewis saying, you know, urging everyone to remember the late congressman, that hell forever live in our hearts. We heard from all of the siblings of the late congressman john lewis here in troy, alabama, the birthplace of the late congressman. Well continue to monitor the Memorial Services.

Just as federal Unemployment Benefits are set to expire, lawmakers on capitol hill are at a standstill on a new stimulus package. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is now warning that a new deal may take a few weeks. The standoff and uncertainty is leaving millions of americans with jobless aid on edge. For the very latest, lets bring in Sara Westwood at the white house. Sara, where do things stand . Reporter well, fred, right now things stand in limbo, even though treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin said that both sides had reached a fundamental agreement gop aide tells cnn that deal the framework of it might not be released until monday now. There are still some details being worked out. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says white house leaders need to look over the fine details of this agreement that theyre hashing out, but he said the name of the game for this deal is immediate relief for families. Take a listen. In my view, it ought to be very much front loaded toward immediate help, immediate help. If youre looking for a theme, send kids in school, jobs, health care and liability protection. Reporter now, one of the holdups appears to be what happens to that unemployment enhancement, that extra 600 that people out of work are getting right now that officially expires on the 31st, but this will actually be the last week that people get that extra help unless Senate Republicans in the white house agree to some way to extend that and Senate Republicans have expressed interest in doing so. Keep in mind that this is just an opening bid thats being worked out right now between the white house and Senate Republicans. Then the real hard work starts, right . Then they take it to democrats in the house, democrats in the senate and they have to get some sort of bipartisan agreement. Democrats in the house and senate have already panned what republicans are working on right now. The Republican White House plan is set to be around 1 trillion. Democrats want something in the neighborhood of 3 trillion. So a lot of work ahead, fred, until a real agreement can be in place and passed by congress. Some ways to go, still. Thanks so much Sarah Westwood at the white house. Still brazil reporting nearly 300,000 new cases of coronavirus in just seven days and the countrys president tested positive three times.

With fridays new cases, brazil has added a total of nearly 300,000 new covid19 infections in just the last seven days. And this comes as the countrys president bolsonaro said a short time ago that he tested negative for the virus, but it was just wednesday when he said he received a third positive test for the virus. Nick paton walsh is in sao paulo, brazil. Give us an update on the president. What is going on . Yeah, this morning, a tweet emerged with a picture of him. The words saying that, essentially, ill paraphrase here, in a test he tested negative. He clearly had just enjoyed breakfast holding up what seems to be the box of hydroxychloroquine that hes been brandishing while, in fact, testing positive for the disease. Its a pixilated picture so you cant be sure exactly what that box is because it looks like medication. Hes been showing people that hes been advocating in the past that scientists, doctors, universities say is of no use in fighting coronavirus. May be harmful to some degree. A brazilian study here, a large one, agreeing with that recently. Then after hes released, the fact hes now tested negative after about two weeks of being positive, he was seen in live video meeting motorcyclists, discussing with them the possibility of easing restrictions on highways in some parts of the brazil traffic code. An interesting morning here where clearly his perhaps his take that the disease isnt that serious. Hes called it a little flu in the past. Moderate his language to some degree focusing on the need for the economy to be revived and also, too, recently saying it was between a doctor and a patient as to whether you take hydroxychloroquine. Hes advocated strongly by brazils ministry of health over the past months under his administration. This possibly show of his recovery may well be used by those who advocate to suggest it is possible to recover reasonably quickly from this disease. But all of this focus on one case, of course, is a distraction from the 56,000 cases that in the last 24 hours were reported in this country. And those are the ones we know of. Remember, brazils testing is rare. You have to have quite a few symptoms often to get a test. It has changed over the past months or so, but still an epidemiological study with government funding has, in fact, begun to stop getting that money to continue it showed that perhaps testing may be showing about onesixth the number of cases in brazil. So its surging here being no doubt. The number of deaths are about 1,000 a day normally and the fact that Jair Bolsonaro who played it down has now emerged with frankly a positively negative result here. That will surely add to the drums here that beats just life trying to go back to normal here. It sounds awful. Its an amazing that surge, but to hear that even that may be understated is pretty significant. Nick paton walsh, thank you so much.
