Protest against mannings president despite a powerful line up of west African Leaders traveling to the capital. So the staggering impact of covert 1000. 00 on the United States shows no sign of easing President Donald Trump has called off the main Republican National convention after insisting for weeks that it would be a fully fledged event it was scheduled to take place next month in jacksonville in florida which is one of the worst affected states it reported 173. 00 deaths on thursday that is the states worst single day toll i looked at my team and i said the timing for this event is not rate just not right with whats happened recently the flare up in florida. To have a Big Convention is not the right time well the number of infections across the country has now crossed 4000000 a more than 144000 people have died 1400000 additional people are ready to the jobless and just the past week is estimated 25000000 people and now out of work republican comparing to reveal one trillion dollar rescue package with democrats so that is not adequate and we have a real challenge for getting politics from getting partisanship this is patriotism for our country were up to 4000000 people and a matter of just over 2 weeks from the 3000000 mark we have to act and what theyre proposing falls far short lets cross to any god who joins us live from miami in florida and he said the president loves a rally doesnt he must have made this decision 3 gritted teeth i mean i think thats probably the most accurate description of heard yet make we do know the president loves these kinds of gatherings loves talking to people there are strong supporters of in just a couple of days ago i was reporting that the sheriff of jacksonville said the city is past the point of no return and we cannot safely hold this type of event so there were also Republican Leaders saying they didnt want to stand up because of health and safety concerns so i think as you said this was a very difficult position for the president to make it was interesting that he talked about keeping Americans Health and safety as a top priority given that hes only recently started wearing a mask himself and his hold was held rallies over the past few months but its a reflection i think of just how bad the situation is here in florida for him to actually cancel such a massive event and one that will be so personally important to the president he has 173 deaths on thursday in florida tell us more about the the general situation across the state. I mean its pretty dire a very dark day for this state with Record Number of deaths and for the past 2 weeks nick weve had at least 10000 new cases every single day that peaked around july the 12th with 15000 cases around 300000 tests have been carried out but there are huge problems with the testing here in the Sunshine State people waiting for a 5 hours lining up to get those tests and then waiting 10 days to 2 weeks to get the results the c. D. C. The center for Disease Control recommends a 2 day turnaround that is not happening in this state in the reports here certainly from people i know theyre getting the wrong results not only is that time gap unacceptably long it means that people could actually contract tobit 19 in those 10 to 10 days to 2 weeks until they wait for the results making them particularly useless now theres also still a patchwork approach to tackling the pandemic here youve got the governor of the state run dissenters a close ally of the president talking about not closing down businesses encouraging parents to send their children to school which should start next month and then here in miami dade which is the worst affected part of the state the mare of miamis put a curfew back in place he has mandated mask wearing and there are more than 40 Police Officers out trying to reinforce those rules theyve even handed out more than 100 tickets so far fining people for not wearing those masks so i think were under sentence under some pressure to change his stance his approach on tackling this pandemic as these numbers continue to rise so an intelligent situation and he thanks very much indeed and he got to go there and miami in florida.
