for you. everyone. it is. florida and 4 other states reported new daily records for covert 1000 cases a number of states rolled back their reopening plans. watching al-jazeera live from london i'm dating navigator also adds corona virus infections surged to half a 1000000 in india which is braced for a huge wave of new cases in the coming weeks. celebrations after a historic election in malawi where the opposition leader. has just won the

presidency. no time to be silent protests against fantasising from after the brutal killing of a mother and her daughter. hello 2 and a half 1000000 infections more than 125000 deaths and record rises reported every day the u.s. is grappling with the world's worst corona virus outbreak and it shows no signs of slowing down 5 states have reported record spikes in daily cases with florida of the worst hits with more than 9 and a half 1000 new infections on the other side of the country nevada has doubled its previous high several states are now scrambling to roll back their reopening plans but that's threatening the nation's economic recovery the outbreak also appears to

be entering a dangerous new phase with the virus spreading from american cities to rural heartlands in the south and west let's bring in gabriel for an update from new york to discuss the latest situation in some of the states. yeah it's very troubling numbers that we continue to see from these 4 states primarily but it's important to point out that there are over 2 dozen u.s. states that are seeing their numbers increase but it is as you correctly mentioned these 4 states that are really now becoming the american epicenter of this virus outbreak as you mentioned florida seeing a record number of cases there texas as well seeing the numbers jump very high there and in texas in harris county which is the county that encompasses houston and surrounding cities 4700000 people just live in harris county in texas

and their local officials are calling it the covert outbreak severe and uncontrollable at this juncture the positivity rate in texas is over 13 percent that's a key number that's the number of people that are tested that that show up positive just to give you an idea in new york right now it's under one percent but we're seeing in some of these other states well over 10 percent that's incredibly troubling numbers and in the state of arizona as you mentioned another record day of numbers there what's troubling in arizona is 87 percent of the i.c.u. beds are currently in use in arizona so they're facing a crisis perhaps in their hospitals in the coming days and weeks as people get sicker and going into the hospitals to seek care so this is definitely a crisis that's brewing within the u.s. and the really troubling part according to most health experts here is this is not the 2nd wave this is still the 1st wave of coronavirus that is just hitting these

states later than it did in the northeast yeah that is quite troubling gabriel but despite all of this the message coming from the white house still seems to be that things are going well. yeah the white house both the president donald trump and vice president mike pence have both been coming out and trying to. give the impression that everything is going ok and that they have this under control but the longer this goes on the more doubt that is cast upon that with many americans and we look at that based on polling as of the latest poll that was taken late this week or early 37 percent of americans polled by this reuters survey said that they approve of the job that's being done by president donald trump fighting the covert outbreak only 37 percent why that is so troubling is number one it's a very low number but the covert outbreak in america is affecting all 50 states and

has or is affecting every single american in some way shape or form so the fact that only 37 percent of americans approve of his handling of it is clearly devastating numbers there's no real way to spin that most americans clearly are not satisfied with the job that the white house is doing fighting this pandemic is on the thank you for that reporting from new york where souther is a professor professor excuse you have it with you mala ga in medicine at columbia university and she says that many state states made mistakes. so opening the economy and enabling people to go to work or to open restaurants or other areas of or other businesses does not mean that we should stop wearing masks and we should start distancing and i think that's the big mistake is that there was a misunderstanding misperception that doing one meant to let go of the other and i

think that's the reason why we seen the surge and the numbers of cases so i'm 40 now we have too many of these states have to back out and they're trying to put in place again more severe restrictions so that we can actually bring this surge under control brazil has just reported another 1109 deaths and more than a $38000.00 new coronavirus infections in just 24 hours meanwhile the president of honduras says the outbreak in this country is growing more complicated one orlando hernandez was taking part in a video conference from his hospital bed after contracting the virus last week is going to suggest the situation is obviously getting more complicated every day it is more saturated important resources are needed in units of strength this is a war between life and death in which we can only win if we manage to maximize the precautionary measures. after months of lockdown restrictions coast the rico is
