Camerota and john berman. Good morning. Welcome to our viewers around the United States and around the world. You are more likely to die from coronavirus in the United States than almost than any other country in the world. That claim comes from the former coordinator of the ebola crisis in the United States. 1,400 new deaths in the country reported in the last 24 hours that marks the tenth day in the last two weeks with more than 1,000 fatalities. The nationwide death toll is approaching 157,000. The country is on track to surpass 5 million confirmed cases this weekend. But President Trump thinks the rise in case has not led to the significant rise in deaths and he thinks the u. S. Is doing great on testing. Both claims are false. He has attended a briefing with the task force and why hasnt gone in months . President trump is now floating the idea of using an executive order to extend Unemployment Benefits to millions of americans. Congress and the administration have struggled to fin
Director, if americans dont adhere to Public Health measures, the u. S. Could see the worst fall in its history. Overnight, the white house issued vague new safety tips for schools, while still not requiring masks. By our count, more than 2,000 students and teachers are now quarantined across the country after returning to reopen schools. And that reality, front and center as the newly minted democratic ticket vows to lead americans out of this pandemic. Laying the blame squarely on President Trumps failed leadership and offering a sharply different view of the countrys future. Meanwhile, President Trump and republicans launching a hodgepodge of attacks on Kamala Harris with 82 days remaining in the race for the white house. Joining me now, dr. Sanjay gupta and dr. Michelle wolinski, the chief of the division of Infectious Diseases at massachusetts general hospital. Sanjay, i want to start with you with the to tp line number. Were up to nearly 166,000 at this point. The number is twice

Socialization, you are going to see more cases. Okay. But they didnt think it would be this kind of peak and they didnt think they would have the builtin problems that they do, like what . They didnt think hospitalizations would be this peaked this soon because now youre going to be over capacity for a long time. Thats the number we need to look at right now. Thats a problem. Another problem is, they didnt expect a culture of deconditioning the way weve seen where people using masks less and less as the risks go up and up. Because they didnt factor in the trump factor of him compelling people not to wear masks by making a political statement. Did you see that the tweet from the new Georgia Republican member of congress, the qanon lady. Masks, masks, masks, my body, my choice. Really . But that stupidity added into this with schools, with holidays, with people kind of being over it because of politics, scary about whether or not the peak comes up and goes down or plateaus superhigh. I d
Concerns for democrats who, as again, announce they are moving federal with an impeachment inquiry this week. Just a turn of significant events and you could expect that today could be another turning point for democrats. John and alisyn. It sounds like a turning point. Thank you, lauren. Lets bring in democratic senator chris coons serving on the judiciary and Foreign Relations committee and a supporter of the joe biden 2020 campaign. Can you hear me. I can. Good to be with you, alisyn. Good to have you. Have you read the whistleblower complaint. No, i am not. Im not a member of the Intelligence Committee but im pressing to view it and i think it is significant that acting dni maguire and the Inspector General atkinson will appear for the Intelligence Committees. But you have read the transcript of the phone call. Yes, i have. And your reaction, please . First, it is not a transcript as you well know. It is a summary. It is a memorandum. And it is striking to me that the white house r
