That china sent us. So, everybodys working on the same line and were doing very well. Were do well in a lot of ways and our country is coming back strong. When you look at job numbers, weve never had job numbers like we have right now. Okay . Well, he made a statement representing himself. He shouldnt be doing that. I have a very Good Relationship with anthony. Thank you very much. Thank you. But dr. Fauci, who has earned the trust of millions of americans during the pandemic, is staying focussed on the science. Can you update us on your relationship with the president. Well, ed, the scene has changed a bit because back then, when we were having Daily Press Conferences in fact, there was a period of intensity when we were meeting with the Task Force Seven days a week and we were having frequent press briefings. The opportunity to talk to the president. Thats changed a bit now. I havent done that in a while. But what has not changed and credit to the Vice President , who has been very heavily involved in this. And we dont have as many task force meetings. Its not every day. But we do have it two or three times a week. And the physicians is Public Health people meet even more frequently. I can say a day does not go by that i am not in contact with bird or hahn or others. So, we do that and we go down. And my input to the president is now a bit indirect. It goes through the Vice President. Im joined by a miami karbdiologist, dr. Bernard ashby. And whats your reaction when you hear these attacks on dr. Fauci and what it means for the big picture as this nation is trying to confront this pandemic . So, thanks a lot for having me here, giving me the opportunity to speak on behalf of my community, my patients and the medical Health Care Professionals out there fighting hard on the frontlines. In a word, disappointed. The fact were inthe midst of a pandemic. Im a florida boy. So, were in the midst of a hurricane right now, especially in miami. And the fact weirverring these conversations at this particular time is disappointing too, say the least. Tell us whats going on for you on the ground in your hospital in florida. Number one, the icus are starting to reach capacity. Including mine. 54 other icus. Another 40 at almost capacity. 90 plus. And so, we are starting to see an increase in hospitalizations, increase in deaths, as expected from the uptick in the virus spread in the state of florida. This is not a big surprise, unfortunately, and me, on behalf of the medical profession, we feel like leadership doesnt have our back. Weve made quite a few advancements and our patients are having better outcomes. But the leadership doesnt have our back, and again, very disappointing. What do you need from leadership and the governor . Just get the virus under control. Bhaurt i want to focus on is outcomes. We said this is going to happen. Its happening and what are you going to do about it . And wore not doing enough to get the virus under control. So, we got to handle this. You say you dont want to get into it. When you talk about things like a mask mandate, which florida doesnt have. Things like maybe reducing sort of rolling back or pausing on some of the reopening but it becomes to say those things t puts you i mean, in a position where its almost like taking a political position. Is it difficult to be in a position where youre saying get this under control but in order to talk about Commonsense Solutions t putsds you in sort of makes you a target of criticism . Exactly. The whole situation, to me, is corny. We have to have leadership doing their job, we have to protect our community. This is a Public Health crisis. A lot of folks talking who are saying a lot of things who dont have the expertise. What my comment is, is stay in your lane, let us do our jobs. Lets take care of our community, our patients, of our country. This doesnt need to be a political issue. Get the virus under control, period. Thats it. Doctor, thank you for joining us and good luck. We know you are right in the middle of all this and we appreciate you talking to us. Appreciate for having me. All this as the u. S. Has reached a new daily high for coronavirus cases, more than 60,000 new cases, which is a record. States reporting doubledigit increases, one is alabama, just announcing masks are now going to be required statewide. And oklahoma, the governor says hes tested positive for coronavirus. One highly influential model is predicting 224,000 will die by november 1st. It is 16,000 more than was predicted just last week. Things are getting worse, projections are getting worse. And as the numbers sky rocket, what you know about the extent of the virus could be limited. Thats because the white house is ordering hospitals to send all information on their patients, on ppe, on ventilators, directly to hhs instead of the centers for disease control, which is seen as more independent. The health and Human ServicesDepartment Says this will allow the data to be streamlined. But one says its another example of the agency being sidelines, the cdc that is, and a step back in the nations response. We have cnns nick watt in laumpgilous on this. And in california and other places officials are struggling to gain control of the outbreak. They certainly are. And just in the last hour weve heard from the San FranciscoSchool District. Online only when schools go back in the fall. Pasadena, they have cancelled their world famous rose parade, which is new years day 2021. In Riverside County a federal team will soon be noon way. Medical military personnel to help where they say icu is reaching capacity. Hospitalizations in california focussed in los angeles where this line behind me is protesting at dodgers stadium. More theme parks opening in florida, just as the Positivity Rate on tests and miamidade pass as staggering 30 , which means the virus is spreading fast. And icus are already full in 54 florida hospitals. The Biggest Issue is we have a lot of aggressive, noncompliant people. If i get it, it doesnt mean anything. More are being infected now than before. Right now the southern u. S. Accounts for a third of the worlds cases. 19 states are now seeing their highest average daily case counts ever and 14 states have more Covid Patients in hospitals now than ever before. We could end up in a position where we have to decide who gets a ventilator and who doesnt. Hes where nflstyle are deployed to disinfect. Schools are going to be halt spaulgts. If you remember, as soon as schools reopened, there was a huge spike. Those asymptomatic but believe they have a risk of being actively infected, for now, cannot be tested because the state is trying to dip demand to speed up turn around time. Youve got to have a fast turn around time if the Contact Tracing is done. Which, other than masks, is the closest thing we have, until we get a vaccine. And hopefully soon, and i when i say soon, a year to year and a half. Reporter and you just mentioned that alabama just triggered a mask mandate. That now existed in 36 states and in any Walmart Store you go into. The governor of oklahoma who you just said admitted thats the wrong word to say has just said that he is not covid positive. About masks, he is not thinking about mask mandate at all. And they have different needs. All right. Just in we have more details on the drama infolding inside the white house. As the top trade advisor publicly attacks dr. Anthony fauci. Tell us what youre hearing, jim . Yeah, white house officials are telling me and my colleague that mark meadows, the white house chief of staff is not happy with the white house tr e trade advisor after the scathing oped on dr. Anthony fauci. They said navarro had been warned to deescalate the situation between the white house and dr. Fauci. And that navarro, quote, violated those instructions. So, at this point, its unclear whether this is going to lead to Peter Navarro being fired or Something Like that, but mark meadows, who has been trying to get things under control since coming on board, he is not happy about this. The other thing that makes this interesting, as you recall a couple of days ago, when white house officials were anonymously trashing him with the talking points, that were critical of the Infectious Diseases expert. Part of the reason hes in so much hot water is meadows was trying to lower the temperature after the talking point. Clearly that backfired. And meadows wanted to put a stop to it. And that didnt happen. So, clearly the chief of staff has his hands full because you cant have, as you know, you covered the white house. You cant have Top White House officials going rogue like that and publishing opeds and not going to the Communications Team at the white house. It makes it look as if people at the white house are all over the place on this issue, which they have been. And lets listen to dr. Fauci himself. He called the attacks on him bizarre. Officials have distributed what essentially is oped research. You are the governments top Health Advisor and the government youre trying to advise is actively trying to discredit you. How do you work like that . That is a bit bizarre. And its life in the fast lane. It is a bit bizarre. I dont fully understand it. I think what happened with that list that came out, i think if you sit down and talk to the people involved in that, they are really, i think, taken aback by what a big mistake that was. And if you talk to reasonable people in the white house, they realize that was a major mistake on their part because it doesnt do anything but reflect poorly on them. And i dont think that was their intention. I cant figure out in my wildest dreams why they would want to do that. I think they realize that was not a prudent thing to do because its only reflecting negatively on them. I cant explain Peter Navarro. So, i dont even want to go there. It was worth noting he says his input goes through the Vice President , not the president. Reporter theres no question about it. The president and dr. Fauci have not been on good terms for some time. The president says he has a Good Relationship with dr. Fauci. The two havent spoken, as far as i know, for many weeks. The other thing we should point out about Peter Navarro. It was months ago when dr. Fauci and Peter Navarro had a big alteration over hydroxy chloroquin. He apparently threw down a stack of articles saying see, it works. And dr. Fauci said what are you talking about, peter . That has not been established. Thats an unproven treatment. And we see, at best, mixed results. And many are not convinced about it. I will tell you i try to reach out to dr. Fauci this morning about this and he didnt want to engage all that much with the situation. He wants to focus on whats important. But you get the sense from talking to him that he is exacper a exacperated with all of this. Hes never had to deal with a situation like this before. I mean, they actually stopped for hydroxychloquin, because they didnt feel it was ethical to continue. And next we have a personal look at the disparities in testing in the u. S. Vurgss the rest of the world. It is staggering. Our own correspondents will share their wildly different experiences. Plus, ill speak to an official in Orange County where they approved a measure, recommended schools go back into session without masks, without social distancing and schools are not listening.

Is conducting about 800,000 tests each day, butted admits w need much more. We need to get to 3 or 5 million test as day to get where we need as a nation and all i can say is were continuing to push forward. In order for test to be useful, results need to come back in 48 to 72 hours. Correspondent fred flankten in berlin responded to a tweet that he was still waiting for results 12 days after his covid test in georgia. Plankton got his tests same day in germany. Theyre joining me to discuss this. Thank you for telling us about your wildly varying experiences here. Victor, 12 days . Today is day 13 and i still dont have the results. This started on june 30th when i was experiencing a shortness of breath. No other symptoms. I thought it would make sense to get a coronavirus test. I couldnt find anything near my home. I was going to be near augusta for the 4th of july. So, i got one withiner 150 miles away at 10 30 in the morning. By then i was no longer having the shortness of breath but got the test anyway. Told i would get results in two tofour days. And theres an alert that says because of the back log, six to ten days. Then i called a toll free number and took several attempts to get through and after i did, i waited on hold for 30 minutes and it dropped my call. So, i dont know if they lost my results or if they are coming. But results two weeks after the test are no good to me or anyone else. But results, fred, the same day, i mean, thats great . That is great. And its been really easy. Ive got two coronavirus tests pretty much in the same time period that victor is waiting for his results. I got the second test at the local city hall. They had a mobile truck there. They took the swabs and i had the results, i think it was 11 hours later. I got an email from the company that did it. If it would have been positive, i would have had to report to the german authorities. Only through that Contact Tracing can you actually help beat the virus back. We have this coronavirus app in germany. This is telling me i havent had contact with anyone high risk. Id have to make sure other people in contact with me know whether or not my test would have been positive. So, thats something theyve had in germany for a while. Ive had a second test in, i think it was midjune actually. And i was having a regular check up at my doctors office. And they said lets do a pcr test real quick. I got those results in about two working days. I cant imagine the 12 or 13 days. It seems like that defeats the purpose of getting a test. Are you thinking what im thinking as fred has his app and im thinking wouldnt it be nice to have Something Like that, right . You could get a hold on what people are experiencing. Yeah, were just floating around blindly now. If i take a test july 2nd and im waiting for results, lets say they come back positive. Consider all of the people and places i have been in that time and now if i take a test today, am i supposed to wait another week week and a half to get whatever todays result is . When the president says we have the best testing in the world, im on day 13. Fred has had two tests and results in that time frame. We need to ramp some stuff up because how do we get to the other side if this is a common story . Theres a lot of kmiserating after that post on twitter of people putting five days, eight days still waiting for results after the week. And were not going to get to the point where we need to be to mitigate this virus if people have to wait this long. Go on, fred. I mean, i think thats key what victor is saying. And theyve been pretty good so far. As far as dealing with the coronavirus concern. Obviously a lot of testing is important. Whats even more important is whats rampant. Now, localized outbreaks. Test people quickly, get them results quickly to try and get these people fenced off, make sure theyre not giving the coronavirus to other people. Because of the Contact Tracing, theyve really been able to push that back and i look at our results for germany today. They have 350 new cases throughout the entire country, a country of 82 million in one day and only three deaths. Weve been in a single digi
