protest against manning's 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 state's worst single day toll i looked at my team and i said the timing for this event is not rate just not right with what's 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 we're up to 4000000 people and a matter of just over 2 weeks from the 3000000 mark we have to act and what they're proposing falls far short let's cross to any god who joins us live from miami in florida and he said the president loves a rally doesn't he must have made this decision 3 gritted teeth i mean i think that's 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 didn't 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 he's only recently started wearing a mask himself and his hold was held rallies over the past few months but it's 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 it's pretty dire a very dark day for this state with record number of deaths and for the past 2 weeks nick we've 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 they're 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 there's also still a patchwork approach to tackling the pandemic here you've 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 miami's 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 they've even handed out more than 100 tickets so far fining people for not wearing those masks so i think we're 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. well as more people are added to the job list tally many who have spent months out of work still waiting for official help from new york elizabeth. before sunrise hundreds of people line up outside an unemployment office in midwest city oklahoma they've all lost their jobs amid the economic recession caused by coronavirus and are now waiting to get help and be laid unemployment checks dieter blakely used to work at a hotel casino in milwaukee wisconsin she was laid off in march and has yet to receive for unemployment benefits it's been over 3 months with no income and been really stressed lately. bills are piling up i worried all the time. sometimes i went it got to be a little bit of a habit too when i woke up in the morning to look at my front door and see if there was an eviction notice on there but deidre blakely is just one of more than $50000000.00 americans who've lost their jobs since a pandemic hit the u.s. in march congress passed a pandemic aid package that included an extra $600.00 a week for anyone left unemployed by the pen demick the problem the money still hasn't reached many who need it so why are so many americans still waiting for their unemployment money i posed that question to jesse rothstein the former chief economist at the u.s. department of labor he said the federal government and state governments are facing an tidal wave of unprecedented demand and that the systems set up in the 1970 s. to distribute unemployment money simply have not been updated and can't keep up when you triple or quadruple the volume of claims that come in the system the computer systems can't keep up and to the extent that people need to be involved we don't have enough people to keep up. and so that's all the whole mechanism of the system is set up for a time that's very different from now and that leads to difficulties getting out in times like this and with the pandemic still spreading across america and more states closing down again after reopening it's feared the unemployment lines could grow along with the frustrations of those still waiting for help gabriel's sandow al-jazeera
