1:02 am
that 4800000 people went back to work last month to him the unemployment rate down to 11 point one percent but he failed to point out that only 7 and a half 1000000 of the 22000000 people who've lost their jobs since the pandemic hit are back in work this is not just luck what's happening this is a lot of talent all of this incredible news is the result of historic actions my administration has taken working with our partners in congress. to rescue the u.s. economy from a horrible event that was formed took place in china and came here they could have stopped it they could have stopped it. nobody likes to write that but they could have stopped it they know it and i know it. mike hanna joins us live from washington d.c. so mike president trying to convey the message that all is well in particular the jobs front indeed u.s.
1:03 am
president trump saying that this increase in jobs shows that the economy is roaring back from the pandemic as he puts it president trump doesn't make clear that that's a large amount of people who lost their jobs in the pandemic are still out of work and in fact the unemployment rate remains at historic highs but president trump has been insistent that he is in control of this pandemic he said recently yet another prays that it will sort of just disappear like health officials pointing out that this is simply not the case in the massive spike that we're seeing across the united states evidence that this is the fact presidential candidate joe biden very quick to criticize president for his latest statements we still do nearly 15000000 jobs in the pandemic is getting worse not better and don't have to millions of americans are still out of work wondering when or if

their job will come back or worried about how to pay the bills in the meantime trump wants to declare his health crisis over in employment. unfortunately he's deadly wrong on both fronts we've already have more than $128000.00. number keeps. that's a direct consequence of belgium's bungled leadership and total mismanagement of this crisis from start. to my test whether the spike saw in the virus and what's happening as a result of that. well it's exceedingly widespread in particular in those states that opened up early under pressure from president trump in a number of cases states like texas florida are seeing massive increases in california for example over the past 2 weeks there's been a 50 percent increase in the rate of hospitalized patients so these are huge
1:05 am
figures the number of infections that we're seeing rank up there at the worst of the pandemic in new york for example which was the worst hit area initially but now across the majority of states there is an increase with the holiday weekend coming up there's great concern that this is not over that there could be a continuum one of the issues health officials point out is their contact tracing is still not affective in many areas of the testing processes are still not sufficient president trump on his part contends that the u.s. is showing such a high infection rate because it tests more than anybody else this is not strictly true according to health officials they point to major ongoing issues in the testing program which is not a federal issue it's a state based issue because the federal government has lifted up to governors to deal with and of course the contect racing program once again being done on a local level with no federal overprint in place so certainly the situation getting

increasingly dire and at this particular stage as well president planning to hold a meeting at mount rushmore in south dakota in the course of friday there will be no social distancing according to organizers 7 and a half 1000 tickets have been sold so once again this is just an example of the mixed messaging or what health officials say is dangerous messaging that continues to come from the white house mike hanna thank you very much indeed. well months into the pandemic hundreds of nurses in california demanding more personal protection equipment and fair conditions they formed a picket at a hospital in one of the counties hit hardest by the outbreak the rally took place on day 7 of a 10 day strike versus say the influx of coronavirus patients means they have to work longer shifts without breaks and they want their union and hospital to agree better conditions now because. the reading i know this is.
