Opened this weekend. Thats just a few. This gradual reopening of the country is happening while some states are still recording disturbingly high numbers of new cases of coronavirus and hundreds of deaths. The governor of illinois reporting 63 people dead of the virus in the last 24 hours alone. Chicagos famous lion statue this weekend fitted with a face mask to inspire people there to do the same. And in new york, 280 people reported dead from coronavirus in just the past 24 hours. Across the United States right now, more than 1. 1 Million People are infected and more than 67,000 people have died. And as staggering as that number is, dr. Deborah birx from the White House Coronavirus task force warned today, it could still get a whole lot worse. Our projections have always been between 100,000 and 240,000 american lives lost, and thats with full mitigation and us learning from each other of how to social distance.

Welcome, everyone. The experiment by many u. S. States in reopening amid the coronavirus may have backfired and now for millions of americans life may be going back on hold. New cases in more than half the country are starting to pileup. Several states hit new highs this weekend. Its hard to find a patch of green on that map there where cases are actually going down.

Let me start by showing this, the sevenday average, more states report an increase in cases. So when you look at that you can see the increase. You now have 17 states now showing an increase in the number of reported coronavirus cases. 12 saw a decrease. Now, if you compare that to a week ago, 9 states had an increase in the number of reported new cases. So that number of states with an increase has doubled in the past week. This is a pretty significant thing to say. The question is why . Is this the result of more testing . Or do we have a much bigger problem, a potential second wave coming across the country . These are serious questions tonight. And yet today the president was playing political games at best or being simply vain at worst. Trump at a ford manufacturing plant in michigan where according
Many Public Events at National Cemeteries and military parades are cancelled for safety reasons. Two states today with alarming Public Health news.
