Hall, coronavirus facts and fears. Its been seen around the world. It comes at perhaps the most Difficult Public Health moment this countrys seen since the 1918 influenza pandemic. There were 66,273 new confirmed cases yesterday. Exactly one month ago, writing in the wall street journal that we were, quote, winning the fight against the invisible enemy. Now, the daily count is more than triple that. And anderson, today in texas and arizona, they started bringing in refrigerated trailers. The same as we saw in new york, in the spring. Because then, as now, the morgues are overflowing. Sad thing is, we saw all this coming. We saw all of this, the moment the cases started ticking up. We knew what would follow after this. First, itd be hospitals. Then, it would be icus filling up. Then, people dying. And now we see too many for Funeral Homes to handle. 129 people died. New high in florida today as well where 156 people have died and nearly 14,000 more have tested positive. Just to put in p
Press briefing. He stopped after the backlash to comments like these. Supposingly hit the body with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or very powerful light and i think you said that hasnt been tested. Then i see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute and is there a way we can do Something Like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning . Now aides are signaling the briefings will not focus exclusively on coronavirus. That will undoubtedly give the president a chance to freelance as he has done in the last few weeks. Trump has abruptly reversed themselves on masks. He calls them patriotic. He put out this photo of himself wearing a mask. Thats a sight he spent months trying to avoid. I want people to have a certain freedom and i dont believe in that, no. I dont agree with the statement if everybody wears a mask everything will disappear. I didnt want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. Wearing a facemask as a great president , dictatordictators,
Million, plus. And the pace of growth is also accelerating. It took 99 days to reach to a million confirmed cases. 43 days to go from 1 to 2 million. 28 more days to add another million. And anderson, we have gone from 3 to 4 million in only 15 days now. Wow. The president spoke late today. Made no mention of that milestone or the 144,000 of those 4 million plus, 144,000 people in this country who have now died. He did, however, cancel a portion of the Republican National convention in jacksonville, florida. No surprise there. He also continued his push for classrooms to reopen, without really a national plan. And just moments ago, those revised and delayed cdc guidelines on the subject came out. Weve been going through them. We are going bring the very latest on what they say and what has changed. Remember, the president said they were too tough before and too impractical. We will talk about all this tonight with bill gates, whose foundation is supporting promising work on vaccines. W
Could live forever, on the strength of his moral power alone. He lived along enough in his remarkable life to see a lot. Well have more on congressman lewiss life and legacy tonight. We begin, though, with the president , who still fails to lead on coronavirus, and fails to accept his responsibility for its spread. Even as the virus reaches right into the oval office. National security adviser Robert Obrien testing positive. Said to be showing what are described as mild symptoms. No doubt, causing concern among all the senior foreign officials he met with, unmasked, not socially distanced on a recent trip to europe. Or the secret service agents, reporters, and staffers accompanying him. The president barely mentioned obrien today. He didnt mention todays news from espn that 13 players and coaches from miamis marlins have also tested positive for the virus. Or that the Minnesota Vikings control officer has also tested positive. The president also had nothing to say about google, giving
Was no room inside. We have reported on people waiting so long for test results, its often useless for keeping people around them safe. In the seven days since our last town hall, we have watched the president attend more events where social distancing is nonexistent. Herman cain, who attended one of those president s Campaign Events in tulsa last month, die of the virus. Weve also seen the president reembrace unproven science and treatment for the disease. And late today, he spoke to reporters about the virus. Given whats happening with Major League Baseball. And now, today, the Rutgers Football Team is quarantining. How can you assure people that schools will be safe to reopen . So, can you assure anybody of anything . I do say, again, young people are almost immune to this disease. The younger, the better. I guess, theyre stronger. Theyre stronger. They have a stronger immune system. Its an incredible thing. Nobodys ever seen this before. Various types of flu will hurt young people,
