And 67 of voters support voting by mail for novembers general election. Could mailin ballots be the new normal . Velshi starts now. Good morning. Welcome back. Im ali velshi. A grim milestone in the coronavirus pandemic. Lets get trigt the facts as we know them at this hour. Worldwide covid19 death toll climbed above 200,000, a Staggering Number as some countries debate how to reopen and others fight to overcome the outbreak. Here in the United States, confirmed cases reached at least 935,000 as states aggressively push to increase Testing Capacity but President Trumps inability to stick to the facts on the Science Behind the pandemic may have led to white house officials weighing whether to scale back on the daily coronavirus briefings.

Nbc joins us live from the pentagon. Jim, how does this gruesome killing affect the search for steve sotloff, the other journalist still being held by isis . Im sorry.

Right after that all started some 11 days ago, folks knocked out every window, they vandalized the place, tried to set it on fire. I spent time talking with the owner, manager, a short time ago. If you can see here, you can see the smoke wafting from the grill, this is a clean we have not seen a lot of in ferguson over the past nearly two weeks or so. You see cops, Police Officers talking to young men. You see black people, you see white people, young people, old people. They are sitting around, eating barbecue, theyre talking to eac
Travelers from west africa for the virus. The stepped up measures begin this weekend. Lets go live to dallas and sarah. Good morning. Reporter good morning, jose. We are learning more about this deputy who is being treated inside. We are told he is one that served a quarantine order at the apartment where duncan was staying. Duncan was not there, authorities dont believe he had direct contact with him. However, they say he went to an urgent care clinic yesterday and was exhibiting enough signs of the illness that the decision was made to transport him here to the hospital and treat him out of abundance of caution. Now, it is important to note that some of the symptoms in the beginning of ebola, things like fever and vomiting are consistent with a number of other illnesses, malaria, dengue fever and the flu.
