Also, cincinnatis matt davison played friday shortly after testing positive for the illness. Turning to the fresh concern over the spread of the coronavirus and children, i spoke earlier with dr. Ryan ribiera. Good morning, dr. Ribiera, thank you for joining us. Weve reported on the 9yearold girl in florida who died from covid19. She did not have any preexisting conditions. Weve also learned the Positivity Rate among children in florida is about 14 . There is more of a risk to children now than earlier in the pandemic . If so, why . Ill tell you, im not sure this is necessarily evidence that kids are more affected now by the disease than they were previously. Weve always had quite a few children who have gotten covid. Nearly 10 of covid cases so far have actually been in the pediatric population. But i think cases like this do actually bring up something that is very important, which is that while the virus itself doesnt very often lead to serious outcomes for children, theres still a lot that we dont know about what other things this virus can put children at risk for, both in the shortterm and the longterm. So i think definitely we shouldnt be cavalier about exposing our children to a virus where the longterm risks are still very much unknown. Lets talk about the increase in infections. It took 45 days to climb from 1 million to 2 million coronavirus cases earlier in the pandemic, only 16 days to jump from 3 million to 4 million cases this month. Why are things speeding up now . And does it mean were getting closer to that second wave . Id say were already in a second wave. For a lot of the country, the second wave has already come. Part what was were seeing here, theres a Multiplier Effect to infectious disease. When there are more people who have active infection, theyre going to be able to spread it more quickly. So you see this rapid, rapid rise in cases and thats the point were at now. This is only exacerbated if compliance with things like masking and social distancing is poor. Lastly, dr. Ribiera, this morning the first phase three vaccine trial is getting under way here in the u. S. With moderna leading the effort. Tell us about phase three and the importance of this step. This is exciting. Phase three, this is typically the last phase before approval of a vaccine. Generally speaking, youve got preclinical testing that is just looking for safety, youve got phase one where its just a handful of people just to make sure that it produces an antibody response, youve got phase two where now youve widened the number of people that youre testing it on to make sure you have a consistent response across different demographics, then you have phase three which is where were at now, testing amongst thousands of people. This is looking for that clinical response to say, we know that it increases antibodies, but does it really prevent you from getting covid . Thats what were going to find out here over the next few months. Our thanks to dr. Ribiera. Phase three sounds promising. I also talked to him about testing and the fact that some people are waiting 19 days for their test results to come back. He said 19 days is far too long to go back and do some contact tracing, so hopefully the two will level out before we get that vaccine. Coming up, new speculation over the royal rift. A new biography with accounts from insiders why harry and meghan felt the need to break away from the royal family. They dont write em like that anymore no they just dont write em like that anymore welcome back. Something new thats been written is adding fresh fuel to the firestorm of speculation swirling around harry and meghans breakup from the rest of britains royal family. A new biography features accounts from insiders on why the couple felt the need to find freedom. Heres abcs julia macfarlane. Reporter new details surrounding that royal rift. Just hours after the release of the latest extract from the new harry and meghan biography finding freedom, Prince William and kate hitting back, refuting claims made by the authors. Sources close to the couple telling the mail they, quote, rolled out the red carpet for meghan, adding william and kate invited meghans friends to a party before her wedding to harry, and keen tennis fan kate asked meghan to join her in her royal box at wimbledon two years in a row. The book claims to have an insiders view of the crumbling relationship between the two brothers, saying the rift began when william questioned the fast pace of harry and meghans romance, warning harry to take his time with this girl, sending his younger brother into a rage. And the distance between the two brothers was becoming increasingly noticeable outside palace walls. You know, stuff stuff happens. But look, were brothers, well always be brothers. Reporter the book filled with explosive allegations, including a conversation where one senior royal is even said to have described her as harrys showgirl. Another telling an aide that meghan came with a lot of baggage. Friends i spoke to writing this book, they said being duchess different was the problem, not difficult. Reporter shortly after the wedding meghans induction into royal life grew increasingly negative, and the book claims meghan was disappointed that kate never reached out a helping hand. According to the book, during the year meghan and harry lived in oxfordhamshire while their cottage was being renovated, william and kate never once visited. The relationship between the two duchesses never really progressing. The problems that existed between harry and william havent been resolved in any way whatsoever. But for the two couples, i think the path ahead will be quite long before there is any resolution. Reporter and on friday night, ahead of those excerpts being published, team sussex released a statement ahead of those news stories saying the duke and duchess of sussex were never interviewed and did not contribute to finding freedom. This book is based on the authors own experiences as members of the Royal Press Corps and their own independent reporting. Julia macfarlane, abc news, london. Our thanks to julia macfarlane. A lot of allegations made in that book, and we know that much of the speculation has been around since the beginning, since meghan got into the picture. Harrys not next in line for the throne, so he was kind of free to do what he wanted to do. But its interesting that they said that she came with a lot of baggage. Yeah, he came with a lot of royal baggage. Hes royalty, right. So that, i can only imagine, is really hard to adjust. Do i use a toothpaste that or one thats good for my teeth .
