News. Trump comes to the defense of an accused killer who also happens to be a supporter. Speaking just moments ago the president almost justifying what Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly did last tuesday night armed on the streets of kenosha, wisconsin with a long rifle, where police say he killed two protesters and injured a third. Do you condemn the actions of vigilantes like Kyle Rittenhouse . We are looking at all of it. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as i saw and he was trying to get away from them i guess it looks like. And he fell. And then they very violently attacked him. And it was something that were looking at right now and it is under investigation. But i guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would have been killed. Its under investigation. All right. Lets look at what the criminal complaint said. It said rittenhouse was not on the ground when he first opened fire. Instead, he was clashing with people who had gathered near a car dealership. And the president also refused to condemn supporters who took to the streets in portland seen firing paint ball guns and mace this weekend. Large numbers of people that were supporters but that was a peaceful protest. And paint is not paint is a defensive mechanism. Paint is not bullets. So this is what the president is calling a peaceful protest. Supporters of the president firing a paint ball gun on protesters as you see. The president unable to say this is wrong today during his press conference. Apparent far right protesters are fanning the flames of violence. But he did go after biden for not criticizing far left extremists. In fact, he spent a good portion of his press conference attacking biden and warning the violence that has occurred at some demonstrations is spreading and will threaten cities and towns if biden is elected. The wave of violence and destruction weve seen in recent weeks and months has occurred in cities exclusively controlled and dominated by the biden party. If you give the radical left power, what youre seeing in the democrat run cities will be brought to every city in this country. So the president banking that voters are scared and will turn to him. But today biden rejecting the president s fear mongering. Fires are burning and we have a president who fans the flames rather than fighting the flames. He may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong. But his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is. Donald trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline. Jeremy diamond is outfront live at the white house. Jeremy, clearly the president continues to count on this message of violence and mayhem working in his favor in the election. Reporter he certainly is. And it is very clear that this is central to the president s reElection Strategy. As you heard the president today, he did his best to try and tie in joe biden to the rioting and some of the looting that we have seen in some of these cities after, of course, mostly peaceful protests in some of these cities. Despite the fact that biden just hours earlier had explicitly condemned rioting, looting, any forms of violence. But the president for his part refused to issue any kind of blanket condemnation of violence. He was given an opportunity by our colleague to explicitly condemn any violence by supporters of the president including those who went through the city of portland firing paint balls and pepper spray at black lives matter protesters. The president calling that a defensive mechanism and of course there was also the situation with Kyle Rittenhouse who has been charged with two counts of homicide and yet the president sought to try and justify his actions. Certainly not offering, you know, not trying to step away from the situation, let the investigation play out but, instead, offering his judgment on the situation and certainly offering no condemnation of what is obviously a double homicide in this situation. Ultimately, though, pam, it is clear this is a strategy that the president wants to pursue over the next several weeks of this president ial campaign. Tomorrow well see the president go into kenosha, wisconsin, where hell use what has really become a hot spot for this Racial Justice movement. As a backdrop for this law and order message that the president wants to deliver. And he is not going to be meeting with the family of jacob blake. Instead, focusing on viewing Property Damage caused by some of the riots there and meeting with law enforcement. Pam . Really quick, jeremy, do we know why he is not meeting with the family . Is it because the family doesnt want to meet with him . Reporter well, the president said he did actually speak with the pastor, the family pastor weve since learned the pastor of jacob blakes mother and they were going to have a phone call it sounds like but ultimately the president did not want to have that call because the family insisted on having some of their family attorneys on the line. We actually had ben crump on cnn last hour who said that jacob blakes mother was expecting this phone call from the president. She was ready and willing to speak with him. But the president then revealed during his White House Briefing that he would not have that phone call as long as attorneys were present. We should also note that ben crump said that during jacob blakes family phone call with joe biden and Kamala Harris that attorneys were on that call and that wasnt an issue for the democratic president ial and Vice President ial nominee. Okay. Jeremy diamond, thanks so much for that. Out front now ben jealous former president and ceo of the naacp. Also our cnn analyst and herndon National Political reporter for the new york times. Great to see you all. So much to get to here. Ben, ill start with you. You heard the president defending both Kyle Rittenhouse and the Trump Supporters in portland who were shooting paint balls at protesters. When you were hearing him talk about that, what were your first thoughts . The first thoughts that weve never seen this before. Weve never seen a president fan the flames of hate and violence like this. He should be trying to unite the country. He should be showing empathy, evolving in office. He is doing just the opposite. He is doubling down on hate and violence and taking us to a place frankly we have not been before as a country. When you look at how he was talking during the press conference, he is so focused on who was behind the violence, repeatedly talking about the left wing and shying away from condemning people on the right wing. People who support him. This is a pattern weve seen from the president before. Yeah, i mean, it is a clear, political strategy to try to reframe this moment in the context of his election, but it comes at the cost, comes at the abdication of his current role as president. He is not functioning as a comforter, as an executive, as someone who is the president of the kenoshas and the portlands and all the folks who live there. He is functioning as someone who only needs to think about his specific space, his specific slice of voters and hats off to capitalize on any instances of violence or division in the way that he thinks could drive his electoral chances. It is very clear and i think we should point out the dual roles here not only just his Election Strategy but his abdication of the current president ial role. It is interesting, john, because he does seem to be playing to his base. But is that the kind of message not condemning vigilante violence, these armed militias, not condemning them, is that the kind of message that would resonate with the voters, the other voters trump needs to win the election . No. The question answers itself. Of course not. And i want to be clear. This isnt just a president playing to the base. You know, lets not get numb to what were seeing. The president of the United States tonight at the white house refused to condemn an alleged murderer because he felt he was on, quoteunquote, his side. And its part of a pattern. It is part of a pattern weve seen going back to 2016 when he refused to denounce david duke. We saw it after unite the right rally in charlottesville. Weve seen it most recently with qanon because he says, they like me. This is part of a pattern and there is no precedent for this in american history. But this is a president doubling down on dividing to try to conquer. Trying to turn americans against one another, all through the lens of his partisan selfinterest. That is no way to unite a broader coalition. It undercuts absolutely everything that the party strained itself to say during the Convention Last week. And the president meantime, ben, is still planning to head to wisconsin tomorrow. The democratic governor there, he made it clear he doesnt want the president to come. Here is the white house secretarys reasoning for President Trump to go to wisconsin despite the wishes of officials there. The president wants to visit hurting americans. He shows up just like he showed up this weekend in louisiana and texas in response to hurricane laura. So what do you think when you hear her say that, ben . This president is doubling down. He is simply trying to create as much tension and strife, as much hatred, it is a calloused playbook. It abdicates the responsibilities of a president to serve all of the people in this country, to uphold the dignity of the office, to unite the country. He, quite frankly, only seems to care about his success, period. He does not seem to care about the rest of us. Frankly, you saw it today when they were talking about taking a herd approach to dealing with covid19 which 2 Million People in this country would die. The callousness of this white house is something we have never seen. Were going to talk about the herd immunity later in the show but i want to stick with this trip that the president is planning tomorrow instead and the White House Press secretary was asked, why is the president going to kenosha and not portland where weve seen protests there for several months . She side stepped the question. What is the real answer . Well, i think they think of wisconsin as a state in which they can win, a state in which they can do well, and i think that is the kind of specific interest of this white house. And i think we should point out, though, the president s use of race as a means of dividing and conquering predates his political career. It is not just President Trump who has used black versus white or brown versus black for his personal gain. It is real estate donald trump. It is apprentice donald trump. It has been every portion and ever facet of his career has leaned on these messages and so i think we should be clear this is a line throughout his life that has manifested as president but did not start at this point. And i actually want to get to the sound we heard from joe biden today. Where he came out and he did condemn violence. Here is what he said. These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden America in the future. These are images of Donald Trumps america today. He keeps telling you, if only he was president. It wouldnt happen. If he was president. He keeps telling us if he was president youd feel safe. Well, he is president. Whether he knows it or not. And it is happening. Yet the president is still saying its joe biden who wont keep you safe. Can he break through, john, what, you know, the president is saying with this message . That something that is effective for joe biden . Well, the president is trying to change reality through repetition. Its part of what he does. The problem is that the president frequently is not just at war with facts but with reality. He is president. And it takes, you know, you can repeat and try to convince your base that its Joe Bidens America that is seeing violence in the streets and democrats shouldnt dismiss the potential political damage that can be done when peaceful protests occasionally turn into something more violent. But biden was very clear about condemning that, unequivocally. He said, look. I condemn violence on the left and the right. You can tell the fight the president wants because he said we dont name antifa so it doesnt count. Of course the president cant take the responsibility of office, the responsibility of condemning violence when it comes from people he sees as his supporters. Biden just needs to keep pointing out reality. This is Donald Trumps american carnage. And were reaping what we sow and there is no reason to believe it is going to get better with four more years. What is your reaction to that, that the president and his supporters, the campaign has already come out and said, well, biden didnt call out the left wing mob as they call it, antifa. What do you make of that argument . What im really focused on is this president keeps beating up on our cities and what youll see in the Republican Party is that is a playbook broadly used. Larry hogan when i was running against him here in the race for governor did the exact same thing with baltimore that donald trump is doing now. And it frankly is a way to stir up racial tension. Its a way to inflame the base of the Republican Party outside of the cities. You know, he is absolutely going to wisconsin knowing that he won that state as i recall by fewer than 30,000 votes. He is trying to inflame his base. He is not there to help the people of kenosha. He is not there to help bring peace to the cities. He is there to inflame tensions hoping that is how he will win. Out front next kenosha, wisconsin is actually bracing as you pointed out, ben, for the president s visit. The citys mayor who is pleading with the president not to come is my guest. What is his message to the president tonight . Plus the head of the fda says they may approve a vaccine before the end of phase three trials. Could that put lives at risk .

Ends monday. New tonight President Trump defending his trip tomorrow to kenosha, wisconsin after the Police Shooting of jacob blake, the deadly shooting of two protesters. Even though top leaders have pleaded with him to postpone the visit. Were meeting with numerous people and we have tremendous support in the state of wisconsin, so i promised them when it all gets taken care of well there are concerns though that it could exacerbate tensions and increase violence. Do you give any consideration to that . Well, it could also increase enthusiasm and it could increase love and respect for our country. So tell us, what is the feeling on the ground there in kenosha ahead of the president s trip tomorrow . Reporter pam, local and state leaders, specifically the governor and the mayor, still feel it is too early for the president to visit here in kenosha with the mayor saying that people here are still trying to heal over the course of what has been a chaotic week at moments here in kenosha. Now, they are staying pretty tight lipped over what the visit will actually look like tomorrow, but we did get a sense that it is going to take up a lot of local resources that up until this point have predominantly been going toward managing the protests and in some cases some of the violence that weve seen. Now, a major question in this was whether the president would be meeting with jacob blakes family or even speaking with them while he was here. At this point that does not seem likely. For starters the father says he doesnt want to play politics and get involved. The mother, through their attorney benjamin crump, says they were waiting for a call from the president but the president didnt want to do it with the lawyers on the line. And the uncle flat out said that President Trump is a racist who stokes racial tensions. But, nonetheless, President Trump will be here and the mayor did announce he is extending the curfew through the rest of this week. The only difference is that the curfew will begin a little bit later starting on wednesday as opposed to the 7 00 p. M. Local time as it has. And then the National Guard which of course has had a presence here over the course of this says there will be over a thousand of them currently in the area expected to be here as long as necessary. Pam . Okay. Thank you so much. And out front now the democratic mayor of kenosha and the democratic governor of wisconsin have both asked President Trump not to come tomorrow. Thank you for coming on, mayor. No problem. Well, you heard what President Trump said this evening. I want to get your reaction to him claiming his trip to your city tomorrow could increase enthusiasm and love and respect for our country. Well, again, im not one of those people who is going to tell the president what he can and cannot do. I would tell you, though, that i am disappointed that he is coming. Our community has gone through a great deal and there is no time right now for political for politics to be played. We would prefer the governor or the president had waited at least another week or so before coming to visit. President s are always welcome. All cities have president s that visit at different times. The president is always welcome. But at this time, its just the wrong time. Right now is a time for us to heal and to be able to look inward and deal with the issues that we have to deal with. And one of the reasons youve also said that now is not the time for him to visit is the strain on the resources as you prepare for his trip tomorrow. What does that look like and can you provide any more details of what his trip there tomorrow will entail . I really cannot. There is no conversation at this point in time as to, or information we are giving out at this point in time as to the trip. I will tell you, though, that the National Guard has been extremely helpful and we feel comfortable that we can keep the president safe and keep the public safe. Mostly we need to try to make sure that there is calm in the community and that is what we are hoping to maintain. So even if you think now is the wrong time for President Trump to visit, are you willing to meet with him tomorrow when he is there . Right now were not making any comments on his visit. You cant even tell us if youre willing to meet with him . Again, i dont believe that i will be in discussions with the president , but at this point in time, well leave it at that. Okay. So a source familiar with the discussions tells cnn that joe bidens team is having talks about traveling to wisconsin this week. Here is what biden said about that earlier today. Lets listen. Mr. Biden, you going to wisconsin . Im checking it out now. I hope to be able to do that. What do you think . Are you okay with biden visiting or do you think he should wait as well . I would also prefer if the Vice President waited until next week before he came. But again, regrettably, politics is now playing more and more into, because of the president s visit as to what is going on, so we will see what happens. But like Everything Else well move forward. The community is in the process of trying to recover. We will greet anyone who comes in the end with the respect that they deserve u. So you said youre okay with joe biden coming next week, right . Right. I have always my whole comment has been that it is just too soon for the president coming here at this point in time. I would say its a little soon for the Vice President also. But in fairness, if the president is here tomorrow, then there really is no other choice the Vice President has than to also be here. So President Trump has repeatedly tried to take credit for the reduction in unrest in your city. Here is what he said during tonights press conference at the white house. Tomorrow im going to a place where we move very quickly. You know that in wisconsin. We move very, very quickly. And as soon as we moved that was the end of that. It was very well behaved. And then this morning he tweeted, if i didnt insist on having the National Guard activate and go into kenosha, wisconsin, there would be no kenosha right now. What is your reaction to that, mayor . That, again, is very disappointing for the president to tweet. The reality is that the city made the request for the National Guard to come in. The governor immediately dealt with it and within 12 hours after the request had been done the guard was in kenosha. So did that happen at the encouragement of the president . You heard him say at the press conference that he had been asking for the National Guard to come in and then finally the governor allowed that to happen. Is that true . The governor actually had implemented the guard on sunday or monday morning early to have the guard come in. And so that was long before any discussions with the president. All right. Mayor, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. And out front, up next, a grim milestone. The u. S. Surpassing 6 million cases. Yet the president is retweeting fringe theories about the virus. Why . Its wrong. It is misinformation. Frankly, it is deadly. Plus one of trumps top medical advisers reportedly urging the white house to embrace herd immunity. Just how dangerous is that approach .

As the u. S. Reaches this grim milestone the head of the fda is now suggesting a vaccine could be authorized before finishing phase three trials. Nick watt is out front. Reporter 183,000 now confirmed killed by covid19 nationwide. But the president just retweeted an article that distorted data to suggest the actual toll is 9,000. It is wrong, its misinformation, and frankly it is deadly. Reporter a new trump adviser is according to the Washington Post now pushing the socalled swedish model. Let the virus spread to the point of herd immunity, which the newspaper says could lead to 2 Million Deaths in the u. S. We have a convergence of the covid19 pandemic with the political season. The fda commissioner just told the Financial Times we just have to get through that and stick to our core principles. But recent White House Pressure on the cdc to tweak testing guidelines and the fda exaggerating the effectiveness of Plasma Treatment is fostering fears of political meddling. And now dr. Hahn says the fda could grant emergency authorization for a vaccine before trials end, saying we may find that appropriate. We may find that inappropriate. We will make a determination. Basically laying the ground work for him to be able to say that he believes that the benefit outweighs the harm which is not a scientific standard we should use for this vaccine were going to put into tens of millions of people. Reporter case counts are ticking up in 20 states, record average new case counts in these six states. Nationwide key metrics are on a slow decline. As a nation we are clearly doing better now on the last day of august than on the first day of august. Its largely because of smart policies in texas and arizona and florida around masking and closing bars. Reporter florida just logged its lowest daily case count since mid june, showing signs of creeping near normalcy. Miami dade today, you can eat inside a restaurant again. But by law theyve still got to be half empty. Nick is joining me now from los angeles. Lets talk about florida. What did florida do to turn things around . Reporter pam, it is not just florida but also texas, arizona, here in california, and dr. Debra birx explained it today. She said in those states enough people wore masks and enough people socially distanced, didnt gather in big crowds and, you know, she said it is not theoretical anymore. If you want facts, if you want evidence that wearing a mask, staying out of crowds works, just look to those southern states. They were all soaring during the summer and now are coming down because people, enough people are making an effort. Pam . All right. Nick watt, thank you so much for that. Out front now dr. Sanjay gupta and dr. Jonathan reiner director of the cardiac katherine lab at George Washington university. He advised the White House Medical Team under president george w. Bush. Thank you both for coming on. Sanjay, straight to it. There is a lot to talk about. Today astrazeneca now announced it is the Third Company in the u. S. To start phase three vaccine trials as the head of the fda says his agency is willing to authorize a vaccine before phase three trials are over. Is there any scenario in which you would be comfortable with that . A vaccine being released, authorized for use before the phase three trial is over . I dont really think so, pamela. You have to take this in a little context. This is the fda which unfortunately also issued an emergency use authorization for hydroxychloroquine with no evidence behind that. They issued an eua, emergency use authorization for convelescent plasma and fudged or really misrepresented the data behind that. There is some concern. Looking at the specific requirements, what the sort of standard is for this sort of thing. They say for the fda to issue an eua, emergency use authorization, there must be no adequate approved or available alternative to the candidate product for diagnosing, preventing, or treating the disease or condition. Okay . Here is the thing. Most people have heard this by now. The bar has to be higher. You are giving this to healthy people. If somebody is in the icu on a breathing machine and you are saying lets do an emergency use authorization for a medicine that could potentially save the person that is different. If we have to wear masks for a few more months to make sure we have the vaccine right that is a viable alternative versus an emergency use authorization for the vaccine. I dont see a scenario where this should be rushed through in any sense. So there is that difference. The emergency use authorization would be for limited circumstances versus approval would be anyone could have access to the vaccine. Right . Yeah. With the emergency use authorization sometimes theyll say it is limited to certain populations, high risk populations be it Health Care Workers or people in nursing homes. And again, i think everyone understands the utility of having a vaccine. But the idea that youd have to have a vaccine that has been shown to be effective and right now the standard has been set at 50 effectiveness. When you say 50 effectiveness it is a bar graph. If you look carefully what you find is the confidence interval suggests there may be some people for whom it is only 30 effective for example but it also has to be safe. You want to test this in lots of people to make sure it meets those requirements. That is what the phase three trials are all about. I want to talk about this retweet from the president , an article this weekend claiming that the real death toll from coronavirus is only around 9,000 not 183,000 because a large portion of those who died had Underlying Health issues. Your reaction to this . Yeah. It was really disturbing on two fronts. First of all, the tweet was from a qanon conspiracy person who misrepresented what the cdc said. Thats one part of it. The other part is that the president amplified that. Lets talk about the facts. What the cdc said is that 6 of people who have died of covid19 on their death certificate 6 only have covid listed. The rest have other comorbidities with it. That is the practice in the United States. When all deaths are actually submitted to the cdc so the cdc collates all deaths. And they get it from the death certificate. Every death certificate lists not just the primary cause like covid19 but also comorbidities. For instance if i certify that somebody has died of a heart attack i write cause of death secondary to diabetes and hypertension and that is all that this is. Its just saying that in only 6 of the patients that was the only thing listed. It is meaningless. 181,000 have died of this not 9,000 people. I want to follow up with this because i have heard this argument a lot from people who try to downplay the numbers. Is it always clear when someone dies of covid versus the comorbidity or is that pretty clear cut from filling that, when someone dies you have to fill out their death certificate . Yes, it is. The fda also tracks something called excess deaths. So the fda, the cdc. So the cdc knows in any given period of time how Many Americans have died. And what we know is that over the past nine months there have been theres been excess of about 10 more deaths than usual. Actually more than weve tracked simply for covid. So many people think that the actual number of covid deaths is significantly higher than the currently reported number of a little over 180,000. And, you know, we know this from tracking historic controls. Basically someone is found dead in their home it could have been from covid who hasnt had a test and looking at the numbers they are so much higher than this time last year. Really quick i want to get to this reporting from the Washington Post that scott atlas one of trumps top medical advisers is urging the white house to embrace herd immunity where you allow the virus to spread while taking steps to protect vulnerable populations. We should note at lance denies this. Experts say as many as 2 million americans could die if the fatality rate is just 1 . How dangerous is this approach . It is a terrible approach. This is exactly what weve been trying to avoid. People remember the term flatten the curve initially which in some ways was just an idea of trying to not let hospitals get overwhelmed. If you look and try to make a reasonable estimate how many people in the country have possibly been infected right now we know what the official number is but it is likely theres a lot more because as jonathan was saying theres been so little testing and we dont know. Lets say it is 10 of the country and weve had close to 200,000, 180,000 people who have died. Well, you know, when ten times more go through this disease it could increase the death toll by tenfold as well. That is where that 1. 5 to 2 million number comes from. You dont completely overwhelm hospitals, too. A lot of people died, pamela, because they cant get care. They die totally preventible deaths. Yes they are dying of covid. Sometimes they are dying in their homes because they cant get to the hospitals. Herd immunity is not a good idea because of the death toll. It is not a good idea because it seems like a bit of a fallacy as we learn there are people who seem to get reinfected potentially after several months. It is not like once youve had it youre protected for good. It did sound as if dr. Atlas walked that back today. Dr. Reiner, what do you think about that . Well, lets do the math this way. First of all no one knows how many people would be required to have the virus in order to achieve herd immunity but people estimate maybe 70 so 70 of the u. S. Population is about 210 million. Using the most optimistic estimates of mortality, say half a percent which would still be five times the seasonal flu equals about 1. 1 Million People dying. And as sanjay just said, we dont know that immunity is going to last forever. It is nonsense. And actually this is what dr. Atlas testified in front of the Homeland Security committee in may. His testimony is on record. All right. Dr. Reiner, thank you so much. Sanjay, stay with me. More to discuss. Out front up next dr. Sanjay gupta returns with a special report seven months after the first case of coronavirus. The mysteries experts are still racing to solve. Plus, could a 74yearold senator who has been in congress for almost 44 years be the first politician to beat a kennedy in massachusetts . We made usaa insurance for veterans like liz and mike. An army family who is always at the ready. So when they got a little surprise. Two . They didnt panic. They got a bigger car for their soontobebigger family. After shopping around for insurance, they called usaa who helped find the right coverage for them and even some muchneeded savings. That was the easy part. Usaa insurance is made the way liz and mike need it easy. Ok, so, magnificent mile for me i thought i was managing. My moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Yes until i realized something was missing.

Reporter a disease we hadnt even imagined a year ago is now the third leading cause of death in the United States and as much as weve learned about it, so many mysteries still remain. Yes, we better understand the risk factors and they are stark. People 85 and older, 20 times more likely to die than people in their 50s. 60 times more likely to die than people in their 40s. Add in cancer. In the largest review to date 30 of those with cancer and covid19 died within a month. Obesity, increasing risk of death three to four times relative to those of normal weight and those with diabetes were three times more likely to be hospitalized. The hospital is on lockdown. Reporter and yet there are still too many stories like this. No. That was it. I never got to say i love you. Reporter nicole buchanans husband conrad was just 39 years old. Healthy, in the prime of his life. You know, you get so many people who do well and then some people who just, bingo. Theyre on a respirator, and theyre dead. Reporter through it all the virus has been pretty constant but how we react to it has considerably changed. Weve just got a lot of young people that were ready to get back out, want to go to restaurants, want to go to bars. Reporter here is the part that makes little sense. When there were fewer than 5,000 confirmed cases back in march, we started to shut things down. Wed much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it. Reporter but now there are more than 6 Million People who have been infected and we are pushing to open things back up. And even though weve been told nearly 70,000 americans could possibly be saved by the end of the year if we just wore masks in public please wear your masks reporter it seems too much to ask. That is why models now estimate that a thousand people will die ever day for the rest of the year. That is an american losing their life to this disease every minute. And sometimes there are those truly stuck in the middle. Ive been treated as covid for 97 days. Reporter they even have a name now. The long haulers. The most basic question is still unclear. If you get this disease, how likely are you to die . Researchers estimate that likelihood is still six times more than the flu. We have made incremental strides with therapeutics, remdesivir, dexamethasone and use for convalescent plasma, donated antibodies from previously infected people and we wait for a vaccine, which most say wont be available to the general public until next spring. You made a list the other day. Ill rattle them off, if we wore masks and kept physical distance and shut down bars or indoor closely crowded situations and washed hands often, those outdoors much better than indoors, always. If we did just that, within a few weeks, we could be looking at the backside of this curve, but astonishingly, disturbingly, it doesnt look like were going to lean into the basics. I often wonder what the history books will tell our great grandchildren of this time. We different learn the lessons 100 years ago during the flu pandemic and 675,000 people died in the United States. We have to apply lessons weve learned quickly to do better this time around. I got to tell you, pamela, this idea we look at things and terms you have the disease and recovered or you dont, were learning more about the patients called the long haulers. If they had relatively mild symptoms initially can have very long persistent symptoms still. You think it was related to how sick you were in the first place doesnt seem to matter. Thats an area they are starting to study. Thats a freightening aspect of this. People dont know if they will be a long hauler or not if they are infected with coronavirus. Important story. You got it. Outfront next were hours from one of the most closely watched primaries this year. A Young Kennedy on the ballot in massachusetts but can he unseat a 74yearold income incumbent .

The incumbent in his 70s with support from progressives. His challenger young and a kennedy. Manu raju is outfront. Reporter the grandson of the late robert f. Kennedy campaigning to serve in the senate like his famous great uncles and grandfather before him. I love the kennedys. I do. I think youll do a great job. The kennedys. Thank you. I have all the life magazine. Reporter 39yearold joe kennedy is facing something unexpected, a 74yearold senator was in congress for almost 44 years and managed to galvanize support of young voters ahead of tuesdays Massachusetts Senate primary. I think that a lot of young people that are our age and at least from our town have been similarly really inspired by ed markey. Ed markey is shown as the favorite threatening to make the fourterm congressman to be the first kennedy to lose a race in massachusetts. Democratic incokucumbents have beenoutbeen ousted. I am the youngest guy in this race. Reporter its been markey with the mantle of the insurgence toeting support of te Green New Deal and endorsement of alexandria ococasiocortez. Thats the Green New Deal i introduced with alexandria ocho cost owe co ocasiocortez. I stood next to Bernie Sanders when he introduced it. Reporter yet kennedy the backing of the partys establishment leader speaker nancy pelosi. Kennedy allies are frustrated markey has not been held to account for his full record over four decades like his backing of the iraq war in 2002. The nafta deal in 1993 and racial issues like School Desegregation dating back to the 1970s. If they are willing to overlook hurdles, thats up to a progressive movement. An awful lot of folks in massachusetts have a different view of that record and what that means to our communities. Reporter after going door to door and working across boston neighborhoods, kennedy accused markey of abandoning the state. He spends less time in the state than anybody else in the delegation. Reporter in an interview with cnn, markey fired back. There is no real record of congressman kennedy in his eight years leaning on issues of generational change in washington. Reporter kennedy waited until late in the campaign to stress that its his family legacy. Its a fight for his blood. Reporter he wants to continue in the senate. Ive tried to be really clear that its me on the ballot. Its not my father or my grandfather or anybody else, and you vote for me, youre going to get me. If kennedy does pull off an upset tuesday night, it could be thanks in part to the fact he and his allies have spent more on Television Advertising than markey and his allies, roughly 2 million more but if he loses, what kennedy would do next is still an open question. We posed that question to him. He didnt want to entertain it and said he looks forward to running to the finish line and celebrating on tuesday night. Pam . All right.
