And kill the virus and protect americans at the highest risk. While allowing those at lower risk to return safely to work. Thats happening. The Health Experts continue to address the temporary hot spots in certain cities and counties and were working very hard on that. The relationship with the governors is very good. We made a call, mike pence made a call just yesterday and said, what do you need . Not one governor needed anything. They dont need anything. They have all the medical equipment they can have. Thank you, u. S. Government. Here are the facts because despite the president s rosie outlook the u. S. Posted a record high for new confirmed coronavirus cases on wednesday. 50,000. That is more cases than some countries have seen in total since this pandemic began. While he and the first lady set to attend a fourth of july event tomorrow, an event that will not enforce social distancing, the holiday looks different for you. Many beaches closed and fireworks canceled as states try to reverse the record highs. At least 23 states, just about half of the u. S. Are hitting pause on or hitting pause button or rolling back reopening plans. Dr. Fauci warning that lifting the restrictions likely contributed to the surge we are currently seeing now. The problem were facing now is that an attempt to so call reopen or open the government and get it back to some form of normality, we are seeing very disturbing spikes in different individual states in the united states. In the united states, even in the most Strict Lockdown only about 50 of the country locked down. That allowed the perpetual. Were tracking the fastmoving developments with the reporters in the hot spots. See them here and began in florida where the Vice President is set to land in tampa in the next hour to meet with the governor and state health officials. The visit comes the same day for daily new cases. The Florida Health department reported that more than 10,000 new cases have cropped up just today and is the Holiday Weekend nears florida has no statewide mandate for masks. Boris sanchez is live in sarasota. An expert said that florida is approaching apocalyptic numbers. Tell me what you know. Reporter brooke, a very different situation that we saw just in may when Governor Desantis chiding reporters for asking questions about his response to coronavirus. Now the Sunshine State with 100,000 new cases in the month of june. Desantis made clear he doesnt intend to enforce a statewide mandate on masks or a statewide stayathome order the kind that shut down florida a few months ago and leaving it up to local leaders for restrictions in place. Here where i am in sarasota they installed a broad mask mandate. You could face a 500 fine. Other places, miamidade county, for example, expanding the mask mandate closing beaches for the weekend and a curfew expanded keeping people out of the bars and restaurants late into the night. President trump said that hospitals have everything they need. Jacksonville Memorial Health systems a largest in the state with a statement overnight making clear theyre running out of remdesivir that critical antiviral drug, the only one authorized to treat coronavirus. Theyre hoping the public hears this and heeds the warning going into the weekend. Great note and speaking of clos closed beaches, talking to the mayor of fot. Lauderdale on how to enforce that. Thank you. Turning to texas where doctors sound the alarm as cases continue to surge. Texas does not have a statewide mask requirement and recorded the single day increase in more than 8,000 cases in who is t. N in houston, theres concern of hospital capacity. Lucy cavanaugh, do they have enough beds for patients . Reporter they have enough to deal with the numbers right now but thats not going to be su stanible if these trends continue and have been breaking records every single day. We saw more than 8,000 coronavirus cases, more than 6,500 people hospitalized in texas and the state reporting the second deadliest day yesterday. Coming to hospital bed capacity, theres flexibility. They can cancel elective surgeries, add beds to areas of emergencies. Here where we are it is a testing facility and treating Covid Patients and ran out of room in the covid ward a few weeks ago and then readjust and built another ward. Of course, not all hospitals have that capacity and the other problem, brooke, we are going into the fourth of july Holiday Weekend and no statewide mask mandate here. A lot of parks are open. People expected to be out and about and what doctors say is every time theres a big Holiday Weekend, they have seen a massive surge and worried about whats on the horizon. Covid ward in a hospital, something none of us knew about a matter of months ago. Thank you so much, lucy, in houston. California a model of success with new restrictions with the skyrocketing number of infections and hospitalizations with counties on a watch list and the governor threatening to deploy strike teams to follow state Public Health order. Dan simon in brentwood area neighborhood in los angeles with more on the lists and what the strike teams would do and just the restrictions. Reporter we are in front of a cafe here in brentwood. You can see folks behind me having a late breakfast, having some coffee but the notion of being able to go indoors and order off a menu with waiters was a real psychological boost and it was short lived. The governor rolling back the restrictions and what hes saying is that this is going to impact 19 counties and going across a bunch of different sectors. No indoor operations for restaurants, bars, wineries, museums, zoos, movie theaters. Brooke, he says this will last at least three weeks or longer but we are talking about 19 counties here and this is going to impact a wide swath of the state, three fourths of the state impacted and will have another massive, massive Economic Impact for people that work across the various industries but the governor said it has to be done and he said he has a dimmer switch and with the surging amount of cases and the hospitalizations on the rise 56 increase in 2 weeks he says it needs to be done. Brooke . Thank you. As the country sees a staggering new number of coronavirus cases, President Trump as we mentioned off the top, still seems to think the virus will disappear. So lets fact check that with a doctor. Plus, cnn takes you inside a hospital seeing an explosion in coronavirus cases. This is in texas. Doctors there say it is only going to get worse. Why a leading Pediatrics Group said kids should go back to school in person this fall even as the number of cases across the u. S. Continues to rise. You are watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin.

The big headline out of the white house today is that President Trump declared that the Coronavirus Crisis is handled and another quote from him, we are putting out the fires. This despite the alarming surge in cases, especially across the south. Cnn medical analyst dr. Celine gounder is the host of the epidemic podcast. Doctor, good to have you back on. You hear these comments from the president coming a day after 50,000 new cases reported across the country in a single day and if you look at the map you see 37 states trending in the wrong direction. Yet the president thinks its disappearing. Why dont you just set the record straight . Brooke, we basically have a wildfire of covid raging across much of the country. That is not embers about to burn out. This is really raging out of control at this point in many cities and states. Places like texas and florida where theyre not even releasing information about the numbers of patients currently in intensive care units on ventilators which has us concerned how severe the situation is going to become in the coming weeks. When you hear the president say and continue to say that the virus will disappear, you know, repeated that yesterday again, this is a president whos going along with the first lady to mt. Rushmore tomorrow for a party. What do you say to the president . You know, i understand the wishful thinking. I would like for covid to disappear, as well. That is not reality. We need to be facing reality if we really want to put this problem to rest and, you know, i do think for a while he was saying that the virus will disappear in the summer. I think its an opportunity and made mistakes clearly lifting measures too quickly in many parts of the country. But school hasnt started yet and i agree with the aap, the American Academy of pediatrics, that ideally children should be back in school but in order to get there this is the opportunity to really put a lid on this and thats really going to mean being much more aggressive in what we do to control it. Well talk about that in a second because obviously theres two very different schools of thought on that. President trump insists that the spike of kacases due to more cas but a top official contradicting that. This is a fact check of the president so lets first watch this. There is no question that the more testing you get the more you will uncover but we believe this is a real increase in cases because of the percent positivities are going up so this is real increases in cases. So just with that awareness, i think about this weekend, hopefully folks starting today getting a break, right . People will be gathering for the fourth. What would you say to people about how to safely celebrate . Sure. You know, just to follow up on what alex azar said about the positivity rates, it is also important to remember the test does not give you the disease. It doesnt lead you to be hospitalized and die and we are seeing increases in hospitalizations and deaths and concrete markers that the disease is going up. One thing we learned from the recent protests is we havent seen a big surge in cases resulting from those outdoor gatherings and protesters largely Wearing Masks outdoors and if you wear a mask, outdoors, try to remain six feet away from other people you have really done a lot to protect yourself and reduce the risk of transmission. Doctor, thank you. Happy early fourth to you. Stay safe. Be well. Thank you. Better than expected june jobs report showing 4 million jobs added but do the numbers tell the full story .
