What we are seeing today is different from march and april. It is extraordinarily widespread, into the rural as equal urban areas and everybody in a rural area you are not immune or protected from this virus. That frank assessment from dr. Birx is now drawing the ire of her boss. President trump tweeting, so crazy nancy pelosi said horrible things about dr. Birx going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing in order to counter Nancy Deborah took the batd and hit us, pathetic. As for the president claiming to have done such a good job heres what that looks like. See how the case numbers rose starkly in july. We could be hitting the 5 million case milestone by the end of this week and then california topping half a million cases alone, more than any other state but there they be good news. On a treatment. As one Company Moves into phase three of a Clinical Trial on an antibody treatment. Eli lilly is focusing the trials in Nursing Homes and facilities. Ha
This is a special edition of the situation room. No public appearance today, no public statement, at least in person by the now outgoing president of the United States. President trump this morning giving a glimpse of himself to supporters en route to his golf resort outside washington in northern virginia. Those Trump Supporters, thousands and thousands of them, marching from the white house up to the u. S. Supreme court, a throng of people from mainstream conservative groups and voters to far right groups, even some republican lawmakers there, united today in their belief that President Trump was cheated out of a second term. But at the same time the president s own department of Homeland Security experts are calling the 2020 president ial election the most secure in american history, two very opposite positions. Hanging over this Political Uncertainty and denial, this surging and spiking coronavirus pandemic, which is infecting and sickening americans right now in numbers that we ha
Highest in the nation. Demonstrators even showing up at some of these officials homes. They can protest, but the sad truth is there is no denying what is happening in idaho when you see the numbers and also what is happening in so many other states. New restrictions are coming. Lets get to cnns alex field. Shes live outside of Field Hospital in providence, rhode island. Alex, whats happening there . Look, kate, rhode island is a small but densely populated state and it now has a big problem, it has the designation of the highest rate of new cases per capita in the nation. Hospitals so strained they had to open two Field Hospitals in providence with a capacity of some 600 beds. Cases are climbing in the state even as its on a twoweek pause. Further restrictions are not off the table. Similar story across the country reporter as new coronavirus cases spread rapidly across the country, some states are shifting to crisis mode once again, as intensive care units fill up with patients. What
To fail, leaving millions of americans who cant afford to put food on their table or pay rent out in the cold. And the president of the United States couldnt care less. While the senate plays games with covid aid, he is golfing yes, golfing again. Ive said it before that this president isnt even doing the job he is trying so hard to keep. Compare that to the president elect, joe biden, telling americans what we need to hear about the virus that as of tonight has killed more than 338,000 americans. But we need to be honest, the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough period for our nation, maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic. I know its hard to hear, but its the truth. So, the current president , when he actually daned to talk about the virus thats killing us, something he has avoided for months, just throwing around empty promises and claiming that were rounding the corner like his empty words would fool anybody. It would go away without the vaccine,
The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. Fraught discussion. The president is so far quiet today and that changes the more he watches television and talks to some friends. President trump Summer Vacation is sounding more like a venting session. At the Trump National golf club in new jersey today, the president out of public view and raging on twitter over the russia probe. More than before, hes zeroing in on the Trump Tower Meeting between top Campaign Officials and a russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics and went nowhere. I did not know about it. That sunday tweet was the most direct acknowledgment yet for the real purpose of the meeting, part of Robert Muellers inquiry. It shows how brazenly misleading the original explanation of the meeting was when donald trump
and or did you ask the russians if they would go ahead
