at the foot of the brooklyn bridge. this is the very first wave of demonstrators. this is a live picture of protesters who began on the brooklyn side, marching over the brooklyn bridge, now mere yards from setting foot on the manhattan side of the bridge. there was a powerful moment 30 minutes ago when we captured a second pro-choice protest that was brooklyn-bound, a powerful moment when there were demonstrations on both sides of the bridge standing in solidarity here. nypd has been basically clearing the way for these demonstrators to be able to peacefully march over the brooklyn bridge and essentially take over the lanes of traffic that are usually dedicated to vehicle traffic. so again, as you take these pictures in here, it s definitely an impressive size crowd that began their march not just against that leaked memorandum from the supreme court a little under two weeks ago, but also, according to one supporter, one man from queens who told me, this is also an effort to
A 3 rate, youre going to get more cases than if you test 100,000 people. I think when we started to see more cases, yes, weve been testing more in the last three weeks by far than we have before, but you see that 6 14 to 6 20 the positivity goes up to 9. 6 and then 12 and then we were 14. 8 for the last part of june, beginning of july. Lets get right to randy in palm beach county. This isnt the first time that weve heard this explanation, this line of reasoning from governor desantis. Right, the governor likes to blame the higher Positivity Rates and the greater number of cases on the fact that were doing more testing here in the state of florida, but we have seen Positivity Rates in the high 20s and low 30s this week and he said he would like them to be in the single digits. Certainly a problem here. That didnt stop the governor way back in april from taking a victory lap at the white house, basically saying that reporters were wrong to ever say that florida could be like new york or
The number of infected people down. That has to be the priority. Everything else will follow from that, but we have to bring the amount of virus down in this country. Kaitlan, i think it is interesting to explore why the president continually does this. I think that it offers an explanation for why were in this predicament. His willful blindness about the rising death toll and how Many Americans die every day, and you saw it in that Chris Wallace interview well, you saw it in both interviews, in the axios interview as well as the Chris Wallace, where hes cherry picking socalled data. Hes calling to his press people, come bring me that other graph, bring me the other graph. Do they not show him the real graphs, or is this just another example of where he says, i dont want that bad news. Go find something where it looks good. I think it is the president seeking out good informtion that tells a good story and not the full story of what this looks like in the u. S. , because this has happe

flu season is hitting the united states earlier and harder this year. case in point, hospitalizations are at their highest level in more than a decade with young children particularly at risk. that is the focus of the new piece out by on cnn.com by dr. edith sanchez at columbia university. good to see you. good to see you. great piece. when it comes to the flu, a lot of parents kind of look at it or want to look at it, i might say, like a really bad cold. but what do you want parents to understand or just people in general to understand about the flu this time and what they need to look out for and what they need to prepare for. unfortunately, that is one of the biggest misperceptions. we think it s just a bad cold. it can be so much worse and sometimes i wish people could come with me, just one day of my clinic to see what can happen or one day in our emergency rooms and to be very clear, the flu in
