4 00 a. M. Here on the east coast, thanks so much for joining us. Over the past 24 hours, more than a quarter Million People around the world have contracted the coronavirus. That is about three people every second. The World Health Organization says it is the biggest one day total so far. And the United States accounts for many of those new cases. In an effort to speed up testing, the u. S. Food and Drug Administration has given emergency approval to socalled pool testing, that can analyze multiple samples at once. But many hospitals are already scrambling to find beds, texas reported 10,000 new cases there for the fifth day in a row, another 10,000 cases were reported on saturday in florida. Miami beach is one of the hard hit areas in florida, the mayor says difficult choices are even harder to make because of a lack of leadership in washington. When we talk about opening things, the governor and the president are all for it. They sent us mandates about opening up schools. But when i
President of the United States says all those warnings from dr. Fauci about how much worse this could get, that is him being a bit of an alarmist. This weekend your white house put out a series of statements, socalled mistakes that dr. Fauci had made. One of your righthand men put out this have you seen this . Well, look dr. Faucet shows him as a leaker and an alarmist. I dont know about a leaker, but a bit of an alarmist. Dr. Fauci at the beginning and again i have a great relationship with him dr. Fauci said this would pass. He was wrong. He said dont ban china. I did. He then admitted lets be clear. The president is taking dr. Fau faucis words out of contest to discredit him. Why would he do that . Listen to this next comment. I will be right eventually. I said its going to disappear. Ill say it again, and ill be right. This year . I dont think so. You know why .

Hello, again everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. Im fredericka whitfield. We begin with the escalating battle of the president and the facts. There are more than 600,000 coronavirus deaths globally. 140,000 of those happening right here in the u. S. The startling spikes happening in two states in particular that have become the epicenters of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the president of the United States downplaying the extent of the crisis. First, florida reporting another 12,478 new cases today. This as the state says hospitalizations have risen dramatically in recent days. More than 9,300 are now being treated. In texas, new cases and deaths seen a dramatic rise. Austin said a third of the citys coronavirus deaths happened in the last two weeks and the u. S. Navy is now going to south texas to help fight in the spread of the disease. Projections from the cdc say 150,000 americans will have died the virus by august 8th.

Hospitalizations have risen dramatically in recent days. More than 9,000 are now being treated. In texas, new cases and deaths have seen a dramatic rise. The capital of austin says a third of the citys coronavirus deaths have happened in just the last two weeks. The u. S. Navy is now going to south texas to help fight the spread of the disease prochlt jexs from the cdc say 150,000 americans will have died from the virus by august 8th.

New cases in one day. I think most governors want these schools to open. I would like to see the schools open. Parents are terrified about sending their kids to school with really no clear guidance. Look at germany, the eu. They had some tough times, as we did, but they came out of them and were still struggling, in part because of lack of effective oversight. I think well ultimately get control of it. I dont really see us eradicating it. This is new day with Alisyn Camerota and john berman.
