You can test everybody before they come in. You can then do intermittent surveillance testing, and you need the capability of identifying isolating and contact tracing. If you can do that, then you very well may be able to open up the college and the university. If you cant it will be more problematic. Taking a look nationwide. 20 states and washington, d. C. Shows downward trends. The u. S. Added just over 44,000 new cases tuesday, the average remains below 50,000. Down 8 from last week. We begin with breaking news. The New York Times is reporting coronavirus treatment about to be authorizeds by the fda for emergency use is now on hold. It involves using blood plasma donated by people who survived the virus. A number of Health Officials including dr. Fauci pumped the brakes urging Emergency Data about the treatment was too weak. Bring in our analyst, deputy physician and chief of quality and memorial sloankettering hospital in new york city. Explain what this entails . You know, the, with any infection our own body makes a lot of products that fight the infection, but one of interest here is antibody. What this does is look at, it collects antibody from people who survived the infection. Skims it off and gives it to the next person. So its taking my immune reaction, skimming it off and giving it to you, if you are infected. Its been around for 100 years. What are some concerns associated with the treatment . The treatment itself is pretty straightforward. Theres some side effects in some people who get some fever, with the infusion, but its well tolerated. If its done correctly. You need a very hightech blood banklevel 21st century lab to do this safely. So when the fda is halting blood plasma trials because of a lack of data, what exactly does that mean and why would they do that . This is the same group that was very cautious with hydroxychloroquine. So we have to give them kudos for remaining true to the science. The datas not they withdrew the emergency authorization for hydroxychloroquine. Because because the data wasnt there. They hoped it would be there but it was not. This is the same sort of thing. Theres a lot of good signals here. A lot of good signals here but none of the studies that have been published are Strong Enough in their methods. There are no randomized controlled trials of the product. Taking data from a series of patients who received it, but theyre not comparing it to those who have not received the product, creating the single problem we had with hydroxychloroquine. It might look good at first blush but you cant control in anyway other than giving a placebo. You cant control for differences in the populations that we treat it in. So that means we have a problem here. Something that smells pretty good, looks pretty good but were not ready for it and its going to cause a backlash. Does that mean the idea of using plasma from somebody to somebody else, that it doesnt work . Or we just cant really test it properly at this point . Its a nono . We dont know enough yet. It looks good, as dr. Arturo, whos been the force behind this, Infectious Disease sites, at the start said it was, a maybe it would work. Improved it to a possibly it would work and now at the point saying it probably will not but not at the point saying it certainly will work. For the safety of the public we have to know that it certainly works. Its a tough business when theres a pandemic out there and we have something that is effective. Worst we can do go down the same path with hydroxychloroquine and get behind something that finally doesnt work. Yeah. Doctor, appreciate it. Thank you very much. As we mentioned top of the broadcast, World Health Organization issued a serious warning for young people today. I think we just need to make sure that the messages that are getting out, particularly to young people, particularly to children and young adults, that you are not invincible to this virus. We are seeing people even young people who are ending up with severe disease. We are seeing young people who are ending up in icu and we are seeing young people who are dieing from this virus. In a separate briefing w. H. O. s regional director emphasizing young people are driving spread of the virus, not surprising when you look at pictures like this from chapel hill. Few mask ares as people left a sorority house. The school announced its moving to online classes after a surge of coronavirus cases. Its not alone. Colleges reporting clusters forcing many schools to shift to online learning. Cnns bejana golodryga is covering this. How bad is it . Reporter look, anderson, a lot of problems. Universities have anticipated we would see clusters, would see cases. Whats a bit surprising is how quickly we are seeing them into the school year. Remember, they said online k12 schools prepared with adequatest itting, have ppe. Today notre dame, latest to suspend inperson classes for 12,000 students on campus, quite ambitious in may, saying they would reopen for inperson classes and now have 147 suspected cases, positive cases. The students for at least now will be quarantined to their dorm rooms and studying online as the university tries to assess what the next measures are. Just one university, michigan state. Also saying they would be suspending inperson lessons and classes and supposed to start just two weeks from now. Imagine the headache for families preparing to get their students and their children back into schools only to be told, no. Stay home. Then weve seen clusters throughout the country. North carolina state announced members of their fraternity and sorority tested positive. Iowa state, 175 positive cases liven oncampus. A lot of these campuses now are turning into infirmaries, students are isolated and set aside, drake university, actually told 14 students tots go home two weeks violating states agreement signed going into the school year. This is a big problem for schools. Theyre trying to figure out how to make it work, but students do need to heed the warning from the w. H. O. Seen pictures and kids wanting to party. All been in college. We understand what that life is like and this is a different situation for them, but for this to tall work they have to heed the warnings and they have to take this seriously. Yeah. Its really complex. Beana golodryga, good to see you. After a week of moving in beginning their semester at university of tennesseeknoxville today. Reporting tleers ining at least coronavirus with people in isolation. And welcome, thanks for being with us. A cluster of active covid cases traced to an offcampus house party. Walk us through the process . How did you identify the party . Well, thank you, anderson, for having me. We have a large group of contract tracer, and when notified students fill out a selfisolation form or we hear from the county Health Department theyve tested positive, and the contact tracers immediately contact them and find out who they wr in close contact with. That means somebody within six feet for more than ten minutes. And then we immediately contact those people. Thats how we found out about this first cluster. And they told us where it was. We knew it was a party offcampus and thats the part were really having to stress pi students. That behave hear to change. You said could be punishments for students who host parties and dont comply with covid guidelines as well as students who dont comply with contact tracers throughout the semester. What would that look like . Well, our student code of contact is not within the code of contact to do anything that endangers the health of anybody else in this community. During a pandemic, if you wont cooperate with contact tracers and we had a little bit of that, or if you wont report to the selfisolation app on their phone or host a party where other peoples lives in endangered we consider that a violation of the code of contact and we will use it, and i was clear about that yesterday in a live briefing i did. So i think the words getting out. I also yesterday walked through the area right near our campus where a lot of students live, upper classmen and where the parties happen. I was with city councilmen, with land homeowners, people who live there as well as landlords working together to figure how to stop this. Our police are with us. Were really pleading with our students. Think about what it means to be a volunteer. We are the tennessee volunteers. This is the time if we want to be here on campus its a different kind of experience. We can do this. Students have to step up and do their part. So if somebody does test positive, what happens to them . Do they stay on campus . Is it selfisolated . So yeah. If the student is living in one of our dorms, we have 6,500 students in our dorms, we have capacity for over 8,000, but kept it lower. Anticipating some of this. If they test positive and they live in the dorms, we have, weve got any number of isolation spaces. Even if they are contacted and theyre a close contact or suspected they could have come close to someone who had tested, who ended up being tested positive, we have spaces for them. So they selfisolate. And then immediately tested. And so were managing that right now. The majority of our students who have tested positive actually live offcampus. And so many of them are selfisolating either at home, if they live in this region or selfisolating in their room in their apartment complex. Hmm. I mean, its its complex being a, you know, a chancellor during normal times. I cannot imagine trying to manage this, what this is like for you. I really appreciate you coming on and talking about it. Thank you so much, donde ploughman. Best of luck. Thanks, anderson. Look at the coronavirus numbers and ask more than 5 million cases, close to 172,000 deaths now, a dismal picture. Tally putting the nation well ahead of the rest of the world for coronavirus cases. Appalling. Many americans agree. A new poll shows 58 disapprove of the president s handling of the pandemic. Up ten percentage point since start of the crisis in midmarch. David, poll shows anger, embarrassment over of the u. S. Response. Talk about what numbers tell us t. Does. This is a poll showing president trumps overall ay prival rating a little up a bit, but wlt it comes to all things related to the coronavirus pandemic, its just dismal. His standing. Take a look. Whether or not he could be doing more or if hes doing everything he can. We asked, what americans thought about that. 62 of the country in this poll, saying the president could be doing more. Thats up from when we asked that in april. Thats going in the wrong direction. You mentioned embarrassed. Nearly seven in ten americans in this poll. 68 say they are embarrassed when they think about the United States response to the pandemic. And angry. Its not just angry. It is very angry. A majority in this poll, 51 , say very angry, but add that variant what together, 78 . More than three quarters of respondents in the poll somewhat or very angry the way things are going in the country today. Finally, the notion of whether or not the worst is yet to come. Weve seen for the First Time Since this all started an actual uptick. Every month it had been going down. Now an uptick overall. Look, anderson pup see it across every party. Republicans up thinking worst is yet to come. Democrats up. And independents are up. Its across the board here and the first time each month it was ticking down. People thought things were not going to get worse or at least it was going in the right direction and now were seeing this uptick that people think the worst is still yet to come. Still such a stark difference between republicans and democrats in terms of the severity of it, but still see uptick in republicans is interesting. David chalian, appreciate it. Thanks. Sure. As new york sets major restrictions on gyms reopening, speaking with two gym owners suing the state. How countries run by women seem to be doing wealbetter wite coronavirus. And the president saying to cancel using goodyear tires. Were here to help utilizing our resources as one of the nations largest banks and a local approach with a focus on customized insights. So youre ready for today. Im looking for my client. Imim so sorry. Nt. Hey hey man, youre here you dont trust me here in vegas, do you . Uh, well, i thought we had a breakthrough with the volkswagen. We did, yeah we broke through. Thats the volkswagen . Thats the cross sport. Wow. Seatbelts please just tell me where were going. Starting monday, gyms in new york are able to open, onethird capacity. User information provided on signin, masks worn at you times, cleaning, social distancing and inspection from local health institutions. Some areas could be delayed. Governor leaving it up to locals to make those decisions. Brent and nicky, three out of four of their gym locations set to open monday. Thanks for being with us. You are, i know, suing the state over reopening action. You took this before Governor Cuomo gave the green light for gyms to open. Are you continuing with the lawsuits now . Yes. We are. You are correct. We did not we started our lawsuit prior to the announcement on monday. Guidelines of reopening. Look at the histories throughout the reopening phasing, long and painful and unfair process, really. Back in april the federal guidelines was part of phase one. Fantastic, knowing all the health, mental and physical benefits we provide. Soon as it was announced i got to work and provided a detailed proposal, after 20 years, more than 20 years in the fitness it industry, we had a lot of protocols in place prior to covid. So the protocols i put together, put it to the county, and the state of new york, may 1st. Implemented it them in our locations. So we were ready to go. Very disappointed in exclusion from phase one. Without any direction. You have to remember, though, it wasnt, youre not in phase one, you get to open now. It was, youre not in phase one and were not going to talk about you. Phase two was, in the state of new york, phase two was professional services. And we were once against excluded and phase three was personal care. And we were once against excluded. So that is when i looked for Legal Recourse and talked to my local officials. Ryan mcmahon, county executive here in our county was fantastic. And he communicated very well he had no information and nothing he could do, besides talk to Governor Cuomos office to help us get reopened. I did retain an attorney in phase three, but it wasnt until phase four when the official exclusion happened that we filed our lawsuit, back on june 29th. Financially, obviously, this has been devastating for gym owners, for bar owners, restaurant owners. Its its, you know its unimaginable. The reopening, only allowed under very strict standards. Do you agree with the new standards . So a lot of the standards were in the proposal i submitted back on may 1st. We already had them in place, we could open. I wish other industries, put the guidelines out, let us reopen the next day. I believe because of needed Health Inspections were forced to wait an additional week to reopen but we have two weeks after we open to get that health inspection. Really we are ready to open. There are some things that i dont agree with, but we have to comply with. We owe it to our business, we owe it to our members and owe it to our employees to meet these standards so they can have a safe and healthy place to work and exercise in the state of new york. If you look at the theres very Little Industries that were forced to change air felters back when malls were announced to open, that was a factor. They were given parameters of m11 to m13 filter. When that happened, i purchased m11 filters for my facilities in the hopes gyms would be next and we would be open if had trect filters. Bowling alleys, they had no filter requirements. I was curious what cuomo did. A higher restriction on health clubs than any other industry announced. How hard has this just financially been . Its been tough. Shut down was march 16th. We are about 400,000 behind on rent. We have lost 25,000 on our eft bill and lost countless future customers and current customers. Weve lost countless employees that just wont come back. Part of the problem is its, were not like any other industry. We are the government of new york has said that gyms are technically bad or theyre just a high probability of getting infected. Scared a lot of people. Scared employees. Scared our members. In the gym business, youre trying to ramp things up. Presale is rampup. Now we are basically starting over with full overhead. Our rent in his building is 3,700 a month, per month. One location. So were asking for anything other than the rest of the community got. Were asking for guidelines, which we now have. We agreed with 99 of the guidelines. Well do anything, just let us open, manage the process and we promise well make it safe for our members. And invested in new york city, the mayor here said, is may be even longer, because they dont have a lot of health inspectors. Focused on schools. Got to tell you, i have never realized how much i miss gyms as i have now. So i am, like, wasting away here. I i hope you get to open soon and i hope youre able to, you know, to recoup some of the loss, brentd a and nicky, appreciate your time. Thank you.
