Now. Fauci said the country was still kneedeep in the first wave of the virus. You can see that in the numbers. He said its not a good place to be. Asked about that, the president said the exact opposite. He said the country is in a good place and in three, four weeks well be in good shape. He can, of course, say anything he wants, but here are the numbers. They are getting worse. Nearly 3 million americans have now been infected. More than 60,000 cases were diagnosed just yesterday. Thats the highest number of new cases reported in one day. Nationwide, 35 states are seeing an increase in new cases. That is not good. Thats not a good place. Just three states are seeing a decline. The number of people needing to go to the hospital for care is also on the rise with eight states reporting record highs on tuesday. That is not good, but thats also not the focus of the president right now. His focus has now turned to focusing in on schools and forcing schools effectively across the country t
Ships those every week. Now thats along with assistant secretary for preparedness and response at hhs. Thats sort of the overall general view. We announced yesterday what we talked about a little bit last week, and that is federal surge sites. We opened these in three communities. There was a list of communities identified by dr. Birx and her team that had certain characteristics of their infection trend, but also met certain characteristics of numerical numbers in isolation that surge testing might have an impact over a short period of time. Our goal in those communities is to do at least 5,000 tests per day, and those are in baton rouge, jacksonville and mccallon. Mccallon in texas, and we have many other sites that were working with. Again, this is a partnership with the state and local governments to make that happen. Theyre up and running and testing in all three sites. Baton rouge started yesterday. The other two sites start today and we already have almost 6,500 appointments alr
Se sentinent being. I cant explain Peter Navarro. So i dont even want to go there. The White House Communications team claims that they did not approve navarros oped. Though, of course, the criticism of dr. Fauci, the attacks are of a piece. It comes after weeks of President Trump criticizing fauci months of the white house refusing to let fauci do interviews with, say, me. More pointedly and recently, White House Deputy chief of staff dan scavino posted this bizarre and nasty antifauci cartoon on facebook. And, of course, the White House Communications shop put together what amounts to an Opposition Research document on dr. Fauci. Now, President Trump this afternoon claimed he believed that the oped should not have been published and claims he has a very Good Relationship with the top doctor. Fauci was asked this afternoon how he can do his job during this pandemic advising a white house that is actively seeking to undermine him. Well, that is a bit bizarre. And i have to tell you i t
I want to read this for everyone last week that if every american because he had tweeted this out a few years back. Do not get lost in a sea of wore a mask, the virus could be under control. Yesterday President Trump said despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. This about why hes still refusing to order masks our struggle is not the struggle nationwide. No, i want people to have a of a day, a week, a month, or a certain freedom. Year. And i dont believe in that, no. It is the struggle of a and i dont agree with the lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make statement that if everybody wore a mask everything disappears. Some noise and get in good all of a sudden everybody has to trouble, necessary trouble.

Honor the late congressman in i think masks are good. So Something Else that would help get a clearer p
