Today, we rode along with the Phoenix Fire Department in the zip code with the most covid cases in all of arizona. So, we just learned that this is a possible covid call. Everybodys got n95s on. About 50 of all the calls that this station does are covid calls. Martin molina tells paramedics hes had splitting headaches for two days. His girlfriend Yesenia Lopez comes out.

Matt gutman with us from phoenix tonight. I know you have more on that new forecast, that new projection, looking at the potential death toll here in the u. S. , going into the fall, matt . Reporter yes, david. That university of washington poll, its a model, predicted 208,000 deaths by november 1st. But those numbers could change. If the present number of people in atrisk populations continues to surge, then more people will die. But if nearly all of the population begins to wear masks, then up to 45,000 lives could be saved. David . Of course, we see that mask around your neck again tonight. Matt gutman, thank you. President trump, meanwhile, has officially taken steps to withdraw the u. S. From the World Health Organization today, but there was Important News from that organization, and it comes amid pressure from hundreds of doctors and scientists around the world, who believe that tiny virus particles can actually linger in the air far longer than many have acknowledged. And so abcs eva pilgrim tonight on just how long those particles could be in the air. Reporter tonight, the World Health Organization for the first time acknowledging it may be possible that covid19 could spread through the air more easily than we knew. We acknowledge that there is emerging evidence in this field. Reporter 239 scientists from 32 countries put pressure on the w. H. O. To change its current guidance. We have long known that the virus can spread, as you see in this video, by large droplets that are only in the air for minutes. Those droplets can come from coughs or sneezes or even talking loudly, singing or heavy breathing. These scientists now say this virus may be able to stay in the air much longer, in much smaller, tiny aerosolized particles. Those particles could potentially get caught up in the circulation system of a room. Its a problem in indoor environments, so, in buildings and rooms where the ventilation is poor and virus can build up, especially if theres lots of people in the room. Reporter look at this study out of china. A woman went to a restaurant before showing any symptoms. Less than two weeks later, nine other people got the virus. Five who were not seated at her table.

Eventually, they said, we are going to have to move you into icu. Dont be naive. This virus is no joke. Reporter hes since recovered, but cases tied to restaurants and bars have pushed several cities and states to roll back openings at indoor businesses. Today, dr. Anthony fauci, the countrys chief Infectious Disease expert, said he thinks governors in states with surging cases should mandate masks to prevent outbreaks. Masking, distancing, washing hands, closing bars. If you do that, i think it will be a giant step towards interfering with the spread in your community. All right, so, lets get to eva pilgrim tonight. And we just heard dr. Fauci talking about the importance of wearing a mask. I know you spoke to one of the scientists raising the alarm with the World Health Organization. That scientist telling you, wear masks indoors, even in Public Places where theyve done social distancing, like restaurants that have put tables far apart. They said wear masks anyway. Reporter yes, david. And this is why. One study suggesting that these particles can linger in the air for as long as 16 hours in a lab setting. Dr. Fauci and dr. Marr say this reiterates why its so important to wear a mask, especially indoors, even when social distancing. David . And it just reminds us that there is still so much we dont know months into this. Eva, thank you. And tonight, the news from brazil, where the president of that country has repeatedly downplayed the severity of this pandemic. Well, today, he revealed he has tested positive. Wearing a mask before the cameras, but then taking it off. Heres our Foreign Correspondent James Longman tonight. Reporter he played down the dangers of covid, but tonight, brazils president Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for the illness, proclaiming we dont need to panic. Life goes on. Bolsonaro once called the pandemic a little flu, and hes consistently ignored the advice of his own officials, going out on horseback and hugging children in huge crowds. The president started feeling ill on sunday with a small fever. But he said hes on the rebound, revealing hes taking the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine. He says hes making sure he doesnt infect anyone else, but couldnt resist removing his mask today. Who wants to see my face, im fine, calm, thank god, he exclaimed. An avid supporter of President Trump, he visited maralago in march. Now, these two men lead the countries with the highest death tolls in the world. Brazil with over 65,000 killed and climbing. As it creeps into rural areas, experts say the real numbers are likely to be much higher. We saw for ourselves how brazilians have been forced to defend themselves against infection. So, for just under 20 cents a mask, this woman sits here for about 12, 13 hours a day, making them for the community. James longman with us tonight. James, youve traveled to brazil for us during this pandemic. I know you are back in london this evening. And youve got more reporting on president bolsonaro, because we know he attended a july 4th celebration at the u. S. Embassy and that caused some concern over the last 24 hours . Reporter yeah, thats right, david. President bolsonaro is pictured alongside American Ambassador todd chapman. Neither of them were wearing masks. Now, he and his wife have tested negative for coronavirus, but they are selfisolating. Other embassy staff, well, we didnt get any comment yet from the state department on them. David . All right, James Longman with us tonight. James, thank you. To the other news this tuesday night, the explosive new book by President Trumps niece, mary trump.

Donald is not simply weak, she writes, his ego is a fragile thing that must be bolstered every moment, because he knows deep down that he is nothing of what he claims to be. She adds, his cruelty serves, in part, as a means to distract both us and himself from the true extent of his failures. Mary trump says the president s sister, retired judge marianne trump barry, told her in 2015 she didnt take her brothers president ial campaign seriously, saying, hes a clown. The white house today is hitting back. Its ridiculous, absurd allegations that have absolutely no bearing in truth. I have yet to see the book, but it is a book of falsehoods. Reporter mary trump, who is the daughter of the president s older brother fred jr. , sued the president and his siblings, claiming she was treated unfairly in her grandfathers will. The case was later settled. She has seen little of her uncle over the past 20 years, although she attended a dinner at the white house in early 2017. She acknowledges that the next year, she gave details of trump family finances, including tax records, to the new york times. And jon, the white house tonight out with a new statement about mary trumps book . Reporter the statement from a white house spokesperson accuses mary trump of writing the book for financial gain. Regarding the specifics of what she wrote, the statement says, quote, the president describ the relationship he had with his father as warm and said his father was very good to him.
