It gives you an idea of just how erratic and unpredictable these fires are. Carter, thats a very tough story with that family. Harrowing stuff. Thank you very much. Well turn to campaign 2020. President trump travelled to michigan last night after a white house News Conference where he bashed author bob woodward and rejected charges that he lied about the coronavirus threat. Paula reid is near shanksville, pennsylvania, where the president and democratic nominee will honor 9 11 victims today. Paula, good morning to you. Good morning, tony. Both candidates will be here today to pay their respects. Both men have participated in this ceremony before. But today is, of course, different because we are in a battleground state, and both candidates have been hitting these key swing states over the past few days. Last night, President Trump was in michigan. Keep calm and carry on. Thats what i did. This whack job that wrote the book, he said, well, trump knew a little bit. They wanted me to come out and scream, people are dying, were dying no, no, we did it just the right way. We have to be calm. Reporter speaking to more than 1500, mostly maskless supporters, President Trump defended his decision to intentionally mislead the public about covid. Something he told bob woodward he did in march. I wanted to i wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down. Yes. Because i dont want to create a panic. Reporter at the white house thursday, the president said he didnt do what he is heard admitting on tape. I didnt lie. What i said is we have to be calm. We cant be panicked. Reporter but on the recordings, obtained by the washington post, the president is heard saying one thing about the virus in private and another in public. Its also more deadly than your, you know, even your strenuous flus. You treat this like a flu. Reporter mr. Trump attempted to shift the blame to woodward. If bob woodward thought what i said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after i said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let them know. He had all this information. Yet he held rallies. He suggested that to wear a mask is a sign of weakness as opposed to a sign of strength. This is the president of the United States. Reporter his democratic rivals blasted the president. The virus is not his fault but the deaths are his fault because he could have done something about it. Reporter still, the president continues to put forward an optimistic outlook. I really think were rounding the final turn. Reporter but mr. Trumps Health Experts say the opposite is probably true. I think as we get into the fall, and we do more indoor things, we are likely going to see up ticks in covid19. Reporter there are just 53 days left before election day. Early inperson voting starts in some states next week. The candidates will continue to hit these key swing states.

One major dispute is over the amount of unemployment relief. As the country deals with its worst job crisis in decades.

Health officials are reporting a disturbing trend in testing that could affect americas ability to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Our lead National CorrespondentDavid Begnaud is following that.

Our nature is to want to be with others. Reporter dr. Deborah birx of the White House Coronavirus task force, went to South Carolina yesterday with a clear message. If you have been on vacation, if you have gone to a hot spot if youve gone to a party in the neighborhood if you took your mask off and were not socially distants, you really need to get tested. Reporter but thats a message a lot of americans are ignoring. According to Infectious Disease expert dr. Michael osterholm. One of the most concerning aspects of our concern to covid is the growing number of people refuse to be tested, even when theyve been exposed and in some cases are clinically ill. This is only going to amplify the number of cases throughout this country. Reporter he says that trend is particularly noticeable on College Campuses where cases are spiking. At texas tech university, the school says its looking into this video of a young woman at a party claiming she has the virus. You have covid . You literally have covid . Yes, i do have covid. Reporter for Many Americans like sue, its a painful reality. I want everyone to realize that it is serious. Reporter just this past wednesday, sue lost her youngest daughter marie to the coronavirus.

The 2020 pro football season is under way on time and looking a whole lot different than last year. The super bowl champion, thats the kansas city chiefs, beat the Houston Texans last night, 3420, in front of a small and socially distanced crowd. So along with the rules to keep the players and fans safe we also saw a very clear display of unity and new signs of social justice awareness. Janet shamlian is at Arrowhead Stadium where the nfl played its first game of the coronavirus era. Good to see you in a football stadium. How did the league handle its return . Gayle, good morning to you. Well, this was more than just the Season Opener at Arrowhead Stadium last night. This was a test of the new covid Safety Measures amid the pandemic. Also a first look at the leagues acceptance, growing acceptance, of player protest. A sign of new times in the nfl came before the first play. Lift every voice and sing the chiefs lining up as lift every voice and sing often considered the black National Anthem played throughout the stadium. O say reporter the team lock arms during the spar spangled banner as the texans stayed in their locker room in support of black lives matter.

We wanted to show that we are unified as a league and were not going to let playing football distract us from what were doing and making change in this world. Reporter the demonstrations only a part of the nfls new normal. Covid Safety Measures allowed fewer than 17,000 fans in a stadium that seats 76,000. We were inside Arrowhead Stadium where fans were required to wear masks and socially distance. Thats kind of our litmus test is, can we provide enough safety to warrant trying this. Reporter kansas citys Health Director rex archer helped establish protocols for fans in the stands. He believes going to the game was safer than watching it from a crowded bar and hopes spectators observe the rules. If theres enough noncompliance to where we have an outbreak, then we may not be able to continue this experiment. Reporter now as the season gets under way, most teams will do it without fans in their stadiums. Only a handful will do what kansas city did last night. In terms of the social justice movement, we saw that on full display. Players wearing messages of antiracism on their helmets and in the end zone, the words end racism stencilled there. So, gayle, this is a season like no other. And its going to look very different for the next couple of months. Janet, thanks. A lot of people just glad that football is back. Im very excited about that. Its so painful to see people booing when the players are saying we want to support racial injustice. And theyre unified together on the field. This is the team youre rooting for. Theyre sending you a message and youre booing it . I dont get it. When you see whats happening in this country for the last couple of really for years but certainly these last couple of months. Thats so painful to see that anybody would be against people speaking out that they want Racial Justice and racial equality. I dont understand it. You can call it scattered boos but it was loud enough to i heard it. With a reduced crowd. Its nice to see the players and the league together on this, though. Yes. Yeah, that is a good spot. Im going to focus on that. Researchers say diversity is key to creating a coronavirus vaccine. That works.
