Pandemic is having on america. The considdc is reporting that expectancy in the u. S. Fell by a year and a half in 2020, the largest decline since World War ii. The decrease is much worse for black and hispanic americans. The cdc says the Big Drop is due mainly to the coronavirus and there are more signs that things are heading in the wrong direction. New cases are surging due to the Delta Variant now averaging around 35,000 new infections reported each day. Ha is more than triple the Case Count that we were seeing around Fourth Of July. Hospitalizations rising significantly again, up more than 50 in the past two weeks. Lets begin with cnns Elizabeth Cohen for perspective on this dramatic drop in Life Expectancy thats being reported. Elizabeth, what more did the Cdc Find . Kate, you really dont think of just one disease, one outbreak as affecting Life Expectancy. Thats exactly what happened with covid. Lets Take A Look at the numbers from the cdc. What the numbers show is the drop from 2019 to 2020 was not evenly distributed across the United States. For hispanic americans, that drop was three years. Hispanic americans lost three years of Life Expectancy from 2019 to 2020. Black americans about the same, 2. 9. White americans, 1. 2 years. All of this is bad, but you can see how disproportionately affected people of color were. Whats interesting is we might think this is inevitable, the entire world suffered in this way. No. The United States suffered more than other industrialized highIncome countries. If you Take A Look at these lines, the top line is countries like uk and france. They did not have the same kind of drop we did. For the lower line, the white one, thats the United States. That drop is so dramatic and, again, did not happen around the world. For example in europe, Life Expectancy is like 81ish, in the United States 77. Again, covid is a main reason. Elizabeth, thank you for that reporting. More than 91 Million americans now live in counties in the United States with high coronavirus infections. Thats more than a quarter of the u. S. Population. The cdc now says that the Delta Variant makes up the overwhelming majority of new cases, and one out of every five cases coming in right now is coming out of florida. Cnns Leyla Santiago is live in miami with more on this. Leyla, youve been talking to doctors at the biggest hospital there. What are they telling you . Reporter kate, theyre hoping that what theyre seeing now is not a repeat of what we saw last year. Here at the Jackson Health System theyve updated their Covid19 Threat Level to high. Lengt lets look at the numbers. The state of florida in general is leading the nation in the number of new cases, nearly 85,000 just this month alone. And then lets Take A Look at the deaths. Florida is also leading the nation where you have about just above 600. So you see my point here. When it comes to the state of florida, those graphics that were showing you, youre seeing the same thing, seeing that line continue to go up in just the last few weeks. Here at Jackson Health System, they tell me that of those patients that theyre treating, 90 of them are unvaccinated. When you go to the icu, 95 of the patients are unvaccinated. But those are the numbers. If that doesnt make The Point to you, talk to the people. I spoke to one epidemiologist in jacksonville where the cases are seeing quite a bit of a rise. He said he wanted lawmakers to know they need to start doubling down on vaccinations. Quit with the disinformation on Social Media because he believes the Health System here in florida is starting to see a breaking point. When you talk to the governor this week, he said vaccines are the way to go. His office is encouraging, but here is how he explains the rise in cases. Listen. These things have a pattern. We saw the pattern last summer. Its similar. I think it started a little later, so people should just be prepared for that. What do you say to someone who makes the argument that these fluctuations are exactly what we saw last year . Id say thats not based on the evidence. Right now we know the fluctuation were seeing right now is based on this Delta Variant which didnt exist previously. That Delta Variant, kate, a very big Talking Point for Health Care workers right now, talking about how highly contagious it is. I cant stop thinking about a woman i spoke to in the hospital, from the Hospital Bed with regret as a covid19 patient, encouraging everyone saying you dont want this, get vaccinated, she told us. Leyla, thank you for staying on top of it. Joining me is dr. Jeannie morass sew, division of infectious diseases at the university of alabama birmingham. Thank you for being here. As my dleecolleague just laid o how bad it is in florida, its bad where you are, too. Alabamas Weekly Positivity has nearly tripled in the past month and hospitalizations have doubled in that same time and alabama still has the lowest percentage of fully vaccinated people in the country. From your perspective, what is it going to take to turn this around where you are . You summarized it really well. In fact, just today we became the state with the largest Percentage Increase in cases of all 50 states and the lowest percentage of vaccinations. So our daily Case Number right now just hit over a thousand. Thats an increase over the last 14 days of over 730 . Our Vaccination Rate in the population as a whole is only 34 . So we are literally at the beginning of a wildfire. We are not seeing exactly what florida is seeing on this day, but i guarantee you that, if we talk again on thursday or friday or saturday or monday of next week, we are almost certainly going to be in the same situation. Its a really, really difficult challenge. How do we change it . We have to get on the same page scientifically. And in terms of recognizing that, if we dont get young people vaccinated, were all going to be at risk for a really awful fall ahead. We dont want to repeat what we did last year. I think describing as a wildfire is the perfect way to describe it because it can be controlled. The control is vaccines. The controls in some regard can be masks, but if not controlled, it will burn Out Of Control and get worse and worse and just spread devastation, doctor. More than 99 of all deaths from covid right now are among the unvaccinated. For me, i keep saying, thats the only number that i think people need to hear that i would think people would need to hear to scare them straight. Why isnt that enough . I agree with you, and i think one thing i want to emphasize is that this is a very dynamic situation. We were not in this place two weeks ago, right . Right. Its changing really fast. Its changing really fast. So do we follow how many of those deaths are in unvaccinated people who are 45, who are 50, who are 25, who are 30 . We dont have a good handle on that yet. We do know in our icus were seeing younger people intubated who are very sick or who are on the floors and are very sick. That should be a gigantic wakeup call. I think as we get those stories and those data out there, im desperately hoping that younger people will say ive got to do my part, not only to protect myself, but protect everybody else with this wildfire raging Out Of Control. Those are the stories i think we really need to get out there. What do we need to start preparing for . If this is just the way its going to be, people not listening, people dont get the shot and more than half the country remains unvaccinated . I would say a couple of things really need to happen. First of all, there are some people who are still hesitant because the fda has not fully licensed the vaccines. Many of us are frustrated with that. We dont understand whats going on. Im sure they have a good reason. Theyre very careful, but i think that would tip some people over the edge. It would also make it easier for employers, especially Health Care employers to say you really cant take care of patients unless you get this vaccine because we care about patients and we care about our staff. I think thats very important. The other thing is, remember, even if you dont get really sick with the virus, many people suffer longterm consequences. Ive talked to a number of athletes who continue to have dysfunction in their performance characteristics. They dont have the energy. They also can have trouble with smell and taste. You really dont want that when youre 35. You dont want it at at any time, but especially not a young person trying to perform at Peak Capacity and enjoy your life. So many reasons to get this virus. I beg people to consider the Safety Record of the vaccines, which are great, honestly, and the immense benefit you would do to society, yourself, your family and your community. Even if it is selfish, this is an immense benefit to you. Even if you dont care about anybody else, i keep saying. Doctor, thank you for coming on. My pleasure, thanks. As the doctor was laying out the wildfire of the coronavirus, theres also the burning wildfires right now. Another big story were following, burning Out Of Control in the western United States. The fires fueled by the extreme heat and extreme drought out west have burned more than A Million acres. Thousands of people have had to evacuate. The Smoke And Haze from the fires has reached all the way to new York City which you can see in this video. Believe me, you can El Foo it when youre outside. Cnns Dan Simon is live in nevada with much more on this. Dan, what are you seeing there today . Reporter we can definitely feel the smoke here. This fire, the Tamarac Fire has been a stubborn one. This broke out on the Fourth Of July burning near the c. nevada border. It was sparked by lightning and remained relatively small until this past weekend when it exploded. It went from 500 acres to 40,000 acres. We saw helicopters making water drops and they were barely making a dent. Now, fortunately the Property Loss has been fairly limited. You have a number of communities forced to evacuate. We caught up with a few Residents Yesterday as they were allowed to go visit their homes with an escort to grab some essentials. Take a look. Just hoping to see Our House still standing. I know they say its okay, but i want to see it for myself. Its scary. The deputy just told us Our House is still standing. We just want to check it all out. Reporter about 83 fires burning across the country, mostly in the western United States, raging across 13 states. The biggest is the Bootleg Fire in oregon. Its now burned the size of los angeles. Kate. Dan, thank you very much for your reporting. Coming up, the Olympic Games under way. Team usa facing a stunning defeat.

The president hitting a critical point, a pandemic hitting, domestic agenda up against the ropes. A country no more united than the day he took office. Cnns Jeff Zeleny joining me from the site of tonights Town Hall. What are people telling you ahead of the president s visit . Reporter theres no question that supporters of President Biden are happy with the beginning of his presidency. Theyre watching with anticipation of what his government has delivered so far, but also wondering if that will continue. One key example we hear again and again is infrastructure. Not coincidentally that key vote is happening on Capitol Hill as President Biden will be flying here to cincinnati. Will that bipartisan deal happen or delayed even more . The voters we spoke to are willing to give the president some time and still optimistic about what he can accomplish. I think they heard from the election that, hey, we dont have time to play around. Weve got to move and the people want action. Reporter Alicia Reese is sizing up President Bidens first six months in office. Im not saying the administration is perfect. We have other things to work on. Voting rights has got to get done, criminal justice, the George Floyd Bill has to get moving. Reporter here in cincinnati, early promises from the biden administration like economic relief from the pandemic have been delivered and other pledges like improving infrastructure is teetering. If we keep the them of delivering for The American people, i think well be okay. But if we get to the old days of Washington Bickering back and forth while The American people watch it and say, hey, theyre totally disconnected from us, then well be going back worse. Reece is the Vice President of the board of county commissioners. One face of americas failing infrastructure has long been right here, the Brent Spence Bridge which crosses the Ohio River on one of the busiest Trucking Routes in the country. If the Infrastructure Bill does not go through, how much of a disappointment will that be . A big disappointment because we heard over and over that infrastructure is important and the Brent Spence Bridge is so important. Reporter six months after taking office, biden has entered the long, hard days of summer. So much more to do. Reporter A Critical Stretch On which the success of his presidency will rise or fall, amid a covid resurgence, Inflation Worries and complex Foreign Policy challenges. Cincinnati and Hamilton County are beginning to spin therapies of The American Rescue Plan that biden signed into law in march. The city is receiving 280 Million and the county 159 million. Its good to see business is picking up. Reporter Alan Flurry voted for biden is so far is generally pleased with his new president. A president that is working with others, consulting with others. I feel like he has more strategic direction, less shooting from the hip. Reporter Biden Admirers Point to his Character And Kindness as a welcome respite. I think he advocates Justice And Equality for all people. So far hes doing really good. Reporter but in a country deeply divided, other biden supporters want him to use the power of the Oval Office while he has it. Im not running out of patience. Its a tough job. I know hes got a tough job. I think there are things he can do to be more forceful. Reporter Joe Mallory is president of the cincinnati naacp. Hes waiting for biden to speak more forcefully on Voting Rights by eliminating the Filibuster And Police reform. He has a lot of room for improvement. This is just the beginning part of his term, but were still going to be pressing for more. So with all of these challenges mounting, the West Wing clearly knows that time is of the essence. Theres a sense of urgency running through the West Wing. Kate, even though only six months are gone of the president s first term, they know the clock is running. New president s have to do the bulk of what they intend to do during the first year. There is still a sense among democrats, they want to see the President Act even bolder. Of course, he has much on his plate, kate. Jeff, the folks you talked to, they seem to be a pretty healthy level of patience and are being pretty patient. Any sense from them how long that patience lasts before biden starts facing more public push more, i dont know, trouble . That is the big question here. You can tell by talking to these democratic voters, we should point out, that there is a sense that they want the president to do more on Voting Rights, on police reform, on other matters like that, not just work on a bipartisan Sfrskt Plan or a democratsonly plan. That is the challenge. So far the White House has been successful keeping democrats unified. Thats going to be put to the test in the next coming weeks on The American Jobs Plan and The American families plan. How patient will these democrats be . So far they are, but that will expire at some point. At some point. One thing people wanted from Joe Biden coming in to office was to bring the country together, to find some bipartisanship. Thats what a large proportion of the electorate wanted in electing Joe Biden. Six months in, do you sense from these democratic voters, democratic supporters, do you sense theyre still looking for that. If you look at his agenda, its stalling. They know its a tall order. I asked virtually everyone we talked to about the idea of unifying the country. They dont put the onus on President Biden for that. Really to a person, the president said hes doing what he can do. Things have changed dramatically. No one inside the White House would have expected that former President Donald Trump would have loomed as large as he has over the last several months and the Big Lie would have exploded like it did. The big job of unifying the country is perhaps an unachievable task. President Biden Won cincinnati and Hamilton County. He lost ohio. His travels, if you look at them, he wants to travel to Red Parts of america to show the public hes in more of a middle lane here, trying to work with everyone. Well get a sense of how possible that is with the Infrastructure Bill this afternoon. For now at least, six months in, theyre trying to keep the image of bipartisanship, kate. Jeff, thank you so much. Be sure to watch the live president ial Town Hall with President Biden tonight 8 00 p. M. Eastern only on cnn. Coming up still for us, senate democrats have set up for a Vote Today that is turning into something of a showdown, something they all actually agree on which jeff and i agree on.

Democrats pressing ahead with a vote at 3 00 on the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. The bill, still is not yet written. Its a bill they still have not seen. Its essentially a Bill And Vote to move forward. Its a deadline to kind of test the waters if this thing, if this deal is going anywhere. Republicans are expected to block the vote, insisting that the Group Effort needs more time to work out the details. So is this vote helping or hurting those efforts. Joining Me Cnn congressional correspondent Lauren Foxx and simon kim from the washington post. Lauren, what is happening with this Vote Today and this Infrastructure Deal . Kate, is it helping or hurting . It depends on who you ask on Capitol Hill. Democrats are arguing this is a procedural vote to get people talking. This is just to get onto the discussion. Republicans, meanwhile, are arguing this is tough because essentially what schumer is asking them to do is take a vote to begin debate on something that does not exist yet. Meanwhile, that bipartisan group worked late into the Night Yesterday Evening trying to find consensus on some of the remaining sticking points, including how much money to spend on Highway Funding versus public transportation. Theyre also asking how to finance their proposal. Aides tell us theyre very close, kate, to getting that agreement. Theyre not going to be ready today before the vote. Republicans are vowing theyre going to block the Vote Today. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said just a few moments ago, hes likely to bring this back up again, and, again, given the fact he knows republicans may block it, hes willing to give the bipartisan Group A little more time to try. Its a mess. I think thats a fair way to chris rise this. Simon, how to pay for this deal has been the problem throughout, or at least thats been the outwardly described problem throughout, right . The White House said today it supports this move, in moving ahead with the vote that schumer is moving ahead with. Im wondering here what is the role that the White House is playing behind the scenes to really get this done since they say they care so much about it . Reporter well, well, this is President Bidens top issue. His aides have been living on Capitol Hill to negotiate into the night with a bipartisan group of senators on this agreement. Its that important to President Biden. Kate bedingfield said on cnn early this morning that they are completely supportive of chuck Schumers Strategy in terms of going forward and advancing this legislation, holding that key Vote Today. Payfors have clearly been the problem for some time. The White House has said over and over that they are receptive as long as it doesnt cross that Red Line of Raising Taxes for americans who make 400,000 or less per year. Theyre open to ideas from democrats and republicans. The problem fundamentally has been when one side rules out increasing taxes and another rules out increasing user fees, for example, for electric vehicles, youre not left with a lot of options. You have senators and White House officials flipping over the proverbial couch cushions, if you will, to try to find the money. Those are messy couch cushions. You do not want to see under there. Lauren, you also have some new reporting on how republicans are planning to approach the select committee set up to investigate the January 6th insurrection. What are you learning about this . Well, remember, these republicans were just named a couple days ago. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still hasnt said if shell give the final approval. She has Veto Power over then. We expect other the weekend or early next week, theyll hold a Strategy Session to get a sentence on what their line of Questioning Shouk to the Police Officers next week. They have this difficult task of trying to balance between making sure and standing up for the former president , but also not being dismissive to those officers who are coming to testify. Thats one of their challenges. We also know theyre trying to muddy the water surrounding how and why the Capitol Wasnt secure, trying to blame the house speaker. Democrats are arguing that is not at all the speakers job. Theyre saying thats really not a strategy thats going to work. I think thats what republicans are eyeing right now, kate. Bringing it all together seung min, this gets to this incredibly tight window that biden and most president s have to push through the agenda at the beginning of their presidency. Hes close to hitting a point, biden, when Congress Isnt going to be able pulling back the curtain, they always have time to get something done if they want to. Theres this sense that they hit this imaginary deadline where they cant get anything big done, because now theyve got to focus on reelection. The first year of almost any presidency is focused on his legislative agenda and trying to get that through congress. Thats a window that typically president s have. Youre dealing with the first midterms of the president s year. At that point, congress and the White House will be legislating by crisis. The things that has to get done, raising the Debt Limit i dont know, seung min. Thats another headache today. On these ambitious pieces of legislation that can really mark a presidency, the first year is that window, and the White House and democrats in congress really recognize that particularly with narrow majority in congress. Thats why theyre trying to move forward as fast as they can, get as much done, particularly before the August Recess and beyond. Let us see. Its good to see you both. Thank you very much. This just in to cnn. The chairman of the joint chiefs, general Mark Millie set to take questions from reporters since the new book revealed his fears that President Trump might attempt a coup if he lost the election. Cnns Barbara Starr is standing by. Barbara, there are an endless list of questions that Mark Millie is likely to face here. An endless list of questions for both leaders, kate.

He will be in complete control, of course, of his message and what he wants to say and how far he wants to go. But at this hour, we simply dont know.

Delegation to tokyo for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games on friday. Competition is already under way. The u. S. Womens Soccer Team suffered a stunning defeat in the Opening Match. Selina wang has been following all of us. What happened with u. S. Womens soccer . Reporter kate, just a devastating start for the u. S. Womens Soccer Team. They waited five years after rio to find another chance to win gold, and now theyre just reeling from another stunning defeat, losing 30, sweden beating them majorly. Now its just not the olympics that anybody had been expecting. For these players, theyre not facing the normal roaring crowds, fans from around the world in the Opening Match for the Olympic Games. They were met with empty stadiums, silence, no fans. That certainly does have an impact. In better news, kate, softball kicked off in fukushima prefecture. U. S. Beat italy. Japan, the Host Nation also winning in the softball match. This is as the mood on the ground is not what you would expect in the days leading up to the Opening Ceremony. People are nervous about the covid19 cases. Tokyo under a state of emergency. Alcohol is banned from being served in restaurants. Tokyo just reported the highest number of daily covid19 cases in six months. The M Mood here is not the olympic spirit of excitement. Also news of another american Athlete Testing positive for covid. What are you learning about that . Reporter kate, this is heartbreaking. Taylor crabb adds to the growing list of athletes Testing Positive for covid19. These athletes, they spent their lifetime preparing for this moment. This is their one shot. For Taylor Crabb and others, theyre Testing Positive after they already get to tokyo. So they had to go through all these hoops, all these pro protocols, only to have all their dreams derailed because of the positive Covid19 Test. Another person who is now out of these games is dutch skateboarder, and she had a heartbreaking post on Social Media saying that she needs time to let her broken heart heal after learning about this positive Covid19 Test and she has done everything, followed all the protocols. This is the last thing she hoped for. Unfortunately, kate, as we head into the games, only likely to see more and more instances like this. Salena, thank you very much.

A former advisor and a man who was the chairman of the trump inaugural Committee Tom Barrack has been arrested for illegal foreign lobbying, capitalizing on Barracks Status with trump to, quote, advance the interests of and provide intelligence to the uae while simultaneously failing to notify the Attorney General that their actions were taken at the direction of senior uae officials. Barrack is one of many people in Donald Trumps orbit who are facing charges or have been convicted or are under investigation. Joining me is elliot williams, cnn legal analyst, former federal prosecutor and former deputy assistant Attorney General. Barrack was acting secretly as a foreign agent, obstructed justice and lied to the fbi, according to the indictment. What kind of trouble is he facing . Pretty serious trouble. Its not illegal to lobby on behalf of a foreign entity. Think about companies like toyota, samsung, they have a presence in the United States. Acting as an agent on behalf of a foreign government, thats a big problem if you dont disclose that to the justice department. You can think of obvious reasons why thats the case. When people are acting at the behest of foreign leaders, you start bumping up against the question of espionage. What might be dismissed by some as a, quote, unquote, Process Crime for failing to notify the government of these contacts is a quite serious offense. Then he compounds it by allegedly lying to the fbi. This is very serious conduct, striking at Foreign Policy and international security interests. This investigation, it seems, has been going on for years. Its about what he did around the 2016 election campaign. One of the guys involved was interviewed in april of 2018. He subsequently fled the country days after that. Barrack was interviewed in june of 2019. Does it seem like this took a long time . No. Thats how long cases take to percolate. These interviews that went back to 2016, they were establishing a pattern of conduct that went back that far. If you read the indictment, it is a Master Class in laying out the carelessness of some defendants in engaging in unlawful Activity But Number two laying out a pretty clear case and through Text Messages and emails going back to, number one, the trump campaign, number two, The Trump Inaugural Committee and events around that and barrack attempted they had a Special Phone with encrypted software on it purely for the purpose of engaging in this kind of conversation. A representative for Tom Barrack told cnn the following. Mr. Barrack is not guilty and will be pleading not guilty. What questions would you have about all this now . This is what i think the fbi did when interviewing him, go through every single one of those emails and Text Messages identified in the indictment. For instance, when you said to uae officials, im hitting one for the Home Team here after you had given a Press Interview at the direction of the uae government, were you acting at their direction or did you not send that . Go through the dozens of messages there. They clearly confronted him on a number of interviews in 2019. Thats why they seem to have evidence that hes lying. There are many, many questions. Again, it just speaks to this broader question of when people are acting at the direction of a foreign government, they ought to notify our government when you had that graphic up on the screen of how many people are under investigation, have faced charges, have been charged, have been convicted all in the trump inner circle, its really astounding and continues to grow.
