never mind talk of a second wave of coronavirus cases. a number of countries, including the u.s., are still trying to control the first wave. infections worldwide now top 9 million with more than 472,000 deaths. the u.s. remains hardest hit with 120,000 deaths and 2.3 million infections. experts warn florida is fast becoming the new epicenter. the former u.s. health secretary says the country is still trying to play catchup. >> we are still reacting. we're not ahead of it. the only way to get ahead of the virus is to way tamp down the cases in any area and then test like crazy before that case

appears, contact trace and make sure you quarantine. we can't do that yet because we're still finding all kinds of people who have the virus. >> with more now on what's behind the surge in u.s. cases is cnn's athena jones reporting from new york. >> people are no gnat practicing social physical distancindistan >> reporter: with coronavirus cases on the rise, more states moving to the next phase of reopening, experts are sounding the alarm. >> not wearing their masks, not paying attention and they're not believing that there's a problem. >> reporter: new confirmed cases nationwide topped 30,000 for two consecutive days friday and saturday with ten states reporting their highest seven-day average including florida, texas, and california where hospitalizations recently reached their highest level since the pandemic began. florida passing 100,000 cases.

many of those testing positive are in their 20s and 30s. >> we know exactly what's happening. young people are going out because they do think they're invincible, they're getting the virus and spreading it into the community and it's harder to protect people when that happens. >> reporter: while the white house thinks the number of cases rising is due to more testing, arizona it is around 20%. they show it is real. ron desantis, a trump ally, agrees. >> even with testing, the number of people testing positive is accelerating positive than that. that's evidence that there's transmission within those communities. >> reporter: the startling numbers leaves people to lament. >> you see the numbers from the first phase and they're shocking. the numbers are going up so rapidly so, yes, i wish we had

done this more slowly so we could have seen the data along the way. >> reporter: nfl players are being advised to stop training together. moving ahead with further reopening today, georgia where the six flags amusement park opens to all guests, washington, d.c., and new jersey. >> we're now going inside. folks have to be careful, obey the rules and this is a big step for us today. >> reporter: while new york, once the epicenter of the crisis in america, is taking the next step in what is a slow, cautious approach. >> we had less than 1% transmission rate yesterday. we went from the highest transmission rate in the united states to the lowest. if we see any tick in those numbers we will respond. >> reporter: athena jones, cnn, new york. president trump is going back on the campaign trail despite warnings not to hold

mass gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic. after his tulsa rally fell short on crowd size, mr. trump is off to phoenix, arizona, in the coming hours for a rally organized by students for trump. he didn't wear a mask in tulsa and he doesn't plan to wear one in phoenix. eight of his campaign staffers who attended the rally have tested positive for coronavirus. as president trump heads to coronavirus, coronavirus cases are spiking in that state as you can see from this graph. mr. trump said he asked for testing to be slowed down to keep the numbers down. his staff said he was joking then he was asked about it later. >> did you ask to slow it down? >> if it did slow down, frankly i think we're way ahead of ourselves if you want to know the truth. we've done too good a job. >> also at the tulsa rally

president trump used a racest term for the virus. >> by the way, it's a disease without question. has more names than any disease in history. i can name kung flu, i can name 19 different versions of names. >> and the white house has since been in damage control mode trying to play down the president's language. >> kung flu is extremely offensive to many people in the asian-american community. to be clear, are you saying the white house does not believe it is racist? >> to be clear, i think the media is trying to play games with the terminology of this virus where the fact that they let it out of their country. >> they have never called it the kung flu. calling chinese coronavirus and -- >> the media and your network

specifically -- >> called it the kung flu? >> the media and your network specifically have repeatedly used the term china virus and wuhan virus and saying the president has used the term that they never used. we can go through cnn's history. on february 9th you talked with wuhan coronavirus, on january 23rd you talked about the wuhan virus. i can write it all out for you and detail it for you in an email. >> it is not the same thing as calling it the kung flu. >> well, there are growing reports president trump's racist language to describe the coronavirus is hurting asian-americans. dr. lena win told anderson cooper that every time she gives advice publicly on covid-19 she gets racist messages.

>> i get messages saying i should go back to my country and saying it's, quote, unquote, my people who caused this virus. i have people who are doctors and nurses whose patients are spitting on them, refusing to be treated by them because they are the ones who are carrying this virus. all of us as health professionals do our jobs. i think the fact is it doesn't have to be this way. our own state and local leaders, many step up and speak out and really the president of the united states should be doing the same. >> and she aided that for many americans the president is the most credible messenger and in this case words matter. well, dr. rog kelce is a board certified emergency

medicine physician. he's joining us from nape perfectville, illinois. thank you for being with us. >> thank you, rosemary. >> we are seeing an increase in cases in 23 states and record high hospitalizations in some states. all of this as the u.s. death toll surpasses 120,000. how concerned are you about this? and of course how ready is this country for another surge in hospitalizations? >> excellent question, and i'm concerned. i'm mostly concerned about the upcoming flu virus that's annual and the other viruses in the fall and winter. i juxtapose those that health care is hemorrhaging industry because of covid. i'm worried about the health care industry not having enough dollars to go back on another

lockdown stopping things that generate cash for the industry. today everybody that works in the industry are there to take care of patients and this spike in surge is certainly concerning. in my area we're seeing less and less covid, but we're awfully concerned about the fever and flu-like illness coming up soon. >> understandable. the hope that there will be enough personal protective equipment. that was the big problem last time, wasn't it? president trump said he never ordered a slowdown in coronavirus testing when he said he would do exactly that when he spoke at his tulsa rally on saturday. what would be the effect of that? is there sufficient testing in this country right now? >> it would be catastrophic. i'm not sure where he generates

his commentary. that's my position here. i can tell you scientifically common sense tells you more testing is fundamentally the most important thing. that is because we need to know exactly how many people have it. this coronavirus, and, therefore, we need to know the numbers and base that against the numbers of people who are hospitalized and those who die. if we slowed down testing, unfortunately i think we'd be in a much worse spot than we were when we began this. >> and, doctor, also at his tulsa rally, president trump mocked the wearing of masks and now we learn eight of his campaign staffers and two secret service agents have tested positive for covid-19. what decision needs to be made about masks and the cdc's

imminent recommendation on the wearing of masks? >> it comes down to what america's tolerances are of restricting what they think are their rights. a big percentage of this country overtly cares about how they affect their neighbor and their families and they're willing to do what scientists think is the appropriate thing to do, which is wearing masks as the most minimum thing you can do when you go out in public. if we don't do that and the other half of the country that does not feel like that's necessary, we then need to consider and, again, i'm not a government spokesman, but i guess the government would consider do we mandate it? then if we mandate it, will there be social discord and chaos because certain people are going to fight it and resist that scientific evidence and then the downfall of social chaos in the streets which were unfortunately all too familiar

with lately. >> we are seeing it mandated in california, in miami, in phoenix and the science behind it, as you say, is that it clearly does protect people. is it really the only weapon we have right now as we wait for a vaccine or some sort of antiviral treatment, is the mask the only way we can live as normal a life as possible? >> it is one component. the other component is paying special attention to our just personal hygiene. part of how we have advised families is we simply recommend you need to shower vigorously and clean yourselves vigorously before you expose yourself to more vulnerable family members. subsequently, if you're around family members and you have to leave the home, you make a decision that you don't go back to the household for a couple of days to control the spread and

contamination of that household. we need to be very conscious about our own hygiene. this will only help the spread of the flu and other viruses. we have to remember there are other viruses we're not talking about and this will help control those as well. >> that's a very important point. dr. rog kelce, thank you very much for joining us. we do appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, rosemary. there's nowhere on this planet seeing more new coronavirus cases right now than brazil. the health ministry reports more than 20,000 new infections in the past 24 hours. brazil is second only to the u.s. in total cases. it's averaging 1,000 deaths a day over the past week and yet major cities, including rio de janeiro and san paolo, are moving forward with plans to

reopen. for the second straight day mexico's death toll has exceeded brazil's with more than 750 dead on monday and close to 5,000 infections. mocks mexico has continued to restart the economy. workers admit it's risky. they would see their families going without food and basic necessities. matt rivers has the story. >> once he suits up, he doesn't take off his equipment. there's no down time between bodies. honestly, this epidemic hasn't ended, he says, it's still going on every day. the ovens didn't stop firing but they couldn't keep up. some families who brought loved ones had to wait hours for them to be cream mated. it's a morbid illustration. and the numbers back it up.

the daily trend of new cases of the coronavirus in mexico. it's not hard to see that things are only getting worse. so is reopening the economy dangerous, we ask? yes, juan carlos says. but mexico's president disagrees. he says, we have to go back out little by little carefully to exercise our freedom. mexico's economy is in dire straits. june 1st they started sending hundreds of thousands back to work and he has plenty of support. at the massive wholesale market, vendor says sales have dropped 70% since the outbreak began. we want everyone to go back to normal, he says. months of quarantine, it's too much. it's a very common sentiment here and amongst the millions of mentixicans who have lost their job. if i don't go out to work, who will feed my family? that's why we have to come here.

but the market itself reinforces the high cost of reopening. officials say more than 600 people that work here have tested positive for the coronavirus since april. 30% of me wants to reopen and 70% doesn't says this vendor. it's necessary but people aren't being safe enough. mexico's death toll has more than doubled in the past three weeks. a model by m.i.t. says it could pass more than 50,000. back inside the cream ma tore yum are real. of the five bodies we saw brought in, four were likely covid-19 deaths. those that work here see it. we know this is not over. >> reporter: in the end the government's decision is both straightforward and painful. reopen the economy and allow people to go out and earn a living with the knowledge that by doing so there is every chance that cemeteries like this one will become more full. matt rivers, cnn, outside mexico

their stories live on at ancestry. welcome back, everyone. south korea's centers for disease control says a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak is underway. they said in a briefing monday, regional outbreaks are occurring and more are expected. cnn's paula hancocks is in seoul, south korea. she joins us live. good to see you, paula. once haled a success in containing the coronavirus, south core reis a dealing with the second wave. a wake-up call to all of us. what is the latest on all of this? >> rosemary, we've had some clarification from korea's cdc in a briefing saying this follows a different standard when declaring a second wave to the world health organization. so the reason they believe this is the second wave is because it

is a different region and they're looking at the flow of spread as well. the fact that these regional outbreaks now are in the capitol in seoul. so what they said is they believe the first outbreak and the first wave was from february to april, much of that was in the southeast of the country. then the numbers decreased significantly dew in large part to mass testing, to contact tracing. south korea was internationally praised for. they say after the may holiday when some of these restrictions in social distancing was relaxed, that is when they were the regional outbreaks. they say it's not a large scale infection but regional clusters and they say that is why they believe that this is the second wave. now we know from seoul's mayor, he has been giving briefings as well and says they are trying to figure out if they should be increasing the social distancing that they have quite recently relaxed saying that if the number of local infections within seoul itself rises above

30 for three consecutive days, then he believes it is necessary to put social distancing back in place. >> all right. we'll watch to see what happens there in south korea. paula hancocks joining us from seoul. many thanks. in england prime minister boris johnson is set to further ease lockdown restrictions. a government source tells cnn cinemas and museums will be able to gradually open up with strict guidelines in place. anna stewart is in london. she joins us live. good to see you, anna. of course, it is a particularly difficult balancing act here, isn't it? opening up the country when we're seeing other parts of the world witnessing the surges in cases for doing exactly that. so how will this work? >> reporter: good morning, rosemary. i think the u.k. will be looking very closely at other countries and how they're dealing with outbreaks that happen as you

start to ease lockdown rules. all of the announcements will be caveated with a warning that lockdown could be reimposed either in small locations or more generally across the nation should that transmission of the virus increase. we expect the prime minister to outline in two or three hours' time what businesses can reopen on july 4th. on the list at the current moment we think that will be pubs, restaurants, bars, cinemas, even art galleries. not just which businesses can reopen but how can they reopen. we do expect some sort of government guidelines in terms of what measures need to be in place within those businesses and perhaps the biggest announcement that we'll get today is a reduction on social distancing rules. this will be really key for many businesses, particularly in the hospitality sector. currently the social distancing rule is two meters in the u.k. we think it may get reduced to one meter for the big reopening on july 4th.

literally watch this space. rosemary. >> anna stewart joining us live from london. many thanks. u.s. president donald trump has suspended visas allowing tens of thousands of foreigners to work in the u.s. throughout the end of the year. the administration argues limbing visas will help americans searching for work during the coronavirus pandemic. this takes effect on thursday. many companies oppose the decision including the tech industry which heavily relies on skilled foreign workers. google's ceo is among those speaking out. he tweeted that immigration has contributed immensely to america's economic success making it a global leader in tech. he goes on to say he's disappointed by the proclamation and will continue to stand with immigrants and work to expand opportunity for all. the international monetary fund, meantime, is issuing a warning about the global economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

the head of the imf says the 2020 recession will be deeper than initially forecast and warns of a slow recovery. > >> we are now edging up to almost $11 trillion of fiscal measures alone, and what we know is that as long as this high degree of uncertainty is with us, as long as we need to protect firms and people, that necessity of additional support for the economy is there, but we do need to think of the world on the other side, higher debt, higher deficit, likely higher unemployment and very important, a risk of higher inequality, more poverty. >> she says both advanced and developing economies are fairg worse than initially expected.

u.s. president donald trump is threatening protesters with serious prison time after demonstrations near the white house monday night. he tweeted this out not long ago warning they could face ten years for vandalizing a statue. protesters in nearby lafayette park tried to tear down a monument of 19th century president andrew jackson before police cleared them out.

that statue in washington, d.c., is one of many in the united states honoring controversial figures which many want to see replaced or moved into museums. president trump slammed the idea and said he will try to block those efforts. >> it's a disgrace. most of these people don't even know what they're taking down. >> is there anything you can do? >> yeah. we're going to do an executive order and we're going to make the cities guard their monuments. this is a disgrace. for the most part they're not federal. they're already talking about thomas jefferson. >> rayshard brooks was remembered monday in a public viewing at atlanta's ebenezer baptist church, one of the most historic churches in the united states. brooks was killed by police in a fast food parking lot. his death fueled more tensions in atlanta.

the senior pastor of ebenezer baptist church has this to say. >> this is bigger than the police. rayshard brooks was not simply running from the police, he was running from a system that entraps people who are trying to have a second chance, a shot at redemption. >> the bond hearing for the former police officer charged with the fate tool shooting has been moved. it had conflicted with brooks's funeral scheduled for tuesday afternoon. nascar fans were allowed to return to the racetrack for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic on monday. however, the highlight of the event wasn't the photo finish but the remarkable show of support for bubba wallace, the sports only black driver one day after a disturbing racist incident. cnn's diana gallagher reports from alabama. >> reporter: in a truly

unprecedented show of support as nascar's top drivers, crew members, really the entire garage walked along with bubba wallace's number 43 car, pushing it along pit road as they gathered around the vehicle as he became really over come with emotion. nascar legend richard petty came over to comfort his driver. he owns the 43 car. as they stood around him during the national anthem. after the race where bubba finished 14th, he talked about what this meant to him in light of what happened. >> the sport is changing. the deal that happened yesterday, sorry i'm not wearing my mask, but i wanted to show whoever it was that you're not going to take away my smile and i'm going to keep on going. >> now according to nascar officials, a crew member of the number 43 team found a noose in their garage stall on sunday afternoon. they say that bubba wallace

himself never actually saw that noose. it was the president of nascar who broke the news to him before the sport contacted the fbi to help investigate. now what is key here is the fact that where this was found is a restricted area, meaning that the only people who had access to it were credentialed, we're talking about nascar team members, security, medical personnel. nascar has said that once they find out who did this, that that individual will be banned from the sport for life. diane gallagher, cnn, alabama. and racism is not a uniquely american problem. exclusive cnn polling has revealed a stark racial divide in the united kingdom where black people are twice as likely as white people to say there is discrimination and policing media and politics. 58% of black brittains think the conservative party is racist.

cnn reached out. we are back with that. good to see you, nema. what did the prime minister's office have to say and what has been the overall reaction on cnn's polling on racism in the u.k.? >> reporter: well, the prime minister's office, the prime minister's spokesman's response goes to the heart of this issue, which is it was both generic and remarkably flippant, rosemary. it was a collection of talking points that they have wheeled out before that the prime minister is committed to seeing justice done but they refuse to engage on any of the specific issues. they refuse to even confirm that the prime minister had been shown this incredibly important data. we're already hearing from opposition politicians, diane abbott has said this is typical of the government's lip service when it comes to these issues. when it comes to the broader black british experience in this

country and the way that the conservative government, the party in power, really seemed to be part of the institutional racism that black british respondents to our poll said they felt they had been targeted by. online, rosemary, the response has been incredibly emotional. people feel that this data has finally shown in really stark terms what so many of them had felt to be true in their own lives, that to be black and to be british essentially is to live in a different country from white people. rosemary? >> yeah, understand that. nema, bringing us the latest reaction to that cnn polling. many thanks. as investigators search for a motive in a deadly terror attack in the u.k., we are learning more about the victims of this tragedy. a special tribute to them just ahead. i got this mountain bike for only $11. dealdash.com, the fair

socialist dictatorship of nicolas ma deer -- maduro has inflicted pain on the people. i want to see venezuela straighten out. i want the people to be safe. we're going to take care of venezuela. dictator maduro is a cuban puppet protected by cuban body guards hiding from his own people. >> despite the u.s. president's unfavorable opinion of nicolas maduro, the embattled venezuelan president said he is willing to talk with donald trump. maduro said he would meet respectfully with his u.s. counterpart like he has joe biden. president trump has previously the only meeting he will have with maduro would be to discuss

a peaceful exit from power. but in an interview over the weekend the president said he was never opposed to meetings. saudi arabia is drastically limiting hajj pilgrims. the hajj scheduled to take place next month will only be open to saudis and foreign nationals already residing in the kingdom. more than 2 million muslims performed the hajj last year. 1.8 million of them were international travelers. cnn's sam kiley has traveled the region extensively. he joins us from abu dhabi. good to see you, sam. this must be a very different year for the hajj and all the participants. how will this work specifically? >> reporter: rosemary, it's not a surprise. the saudi arabian kingdom about two months ago now issued

guidance to the potential hajj pilgrims, particularly to the specialized travel agents that organize the hajj pilgrims from right across the world. 1.8 million more or less people would be normally expected to travel for this very important event to mecca starting next month. now the saudi authorities said please don't take any bookings some time ago because it is likely that we will either postpone -- well, not postpone but suspend the hajj for this year. now what they've come up with is a compromise, the sort of compromise that we also saw during the recent ramadan period in which there are people who will be representing the winder. the winder islamic community at these important rituals in mecca and elsewhere during the period of the hajj, specifically

foreign nationals who are residents of saudi arabia and saudis themselves can apply to go, but their numbers are going to be extremely tightly restricted. that is because right across the middle east there have been signs of a second wave of infections of the coronavirus even during ramadan here, for example, rosemary, the local authorities even though there were very strict regulations, indeed, meant there were no ramadan prayers, no collective prayers allowed, people did have them in a clandestine way. people detected a relatively small but detectible increase in the rate of infections. saudi arabia's lifted a lot of the local restrictions on commerce and movement inside various cities but still keeping it very tight, particularly in terms of international travel, rosemary. >> sam joining us there from abu dhabi. many thanks. the u.s. justice department announced several charges against an army soldier on

monday, including providing material support to terrorists in a plan to attack his fellow americans. the soldier is accused of planning a mass casualty attack on his own unit. the indictment lays out his alleged communications with a neonazi white supremacist group. it says the soldiers shared information related to his unit's deployment location and security details in order to facilitate an attack. the u.s. army and the fbi said they thwarted the attack and they arrested the soldier on june 10th. we are learning more about three men killed in an attack in the u.k. on saturday. nic robertson spoke to a friend of the victims and as nic discovered, the men all shared a special bond. >> reporter: joe richie bennett from philadelphia, james if you are long, a teacher and david wales, all dead in reading's terror attack saturday.

you realized that could have been you? >> well, yeah. and it could have been anybody. this appears to have been a random attack. >> reporter: not targeted at lgbtq community? >> i just don't know. >> reporter: at i high school gates where james taught, tributes pile up for a much loved teacher. >> walking into his class was like the best thing on a monday morning. >> he was really kind and really funny. he encouraged curiosity in all of his lessons to all people and it was a privilege to be taught by him. >> he really made history fun because last year i had a rubbish teacher and he did make it enjoyable. >> reporter: at the scene of the attack community leaders showed solidarity, brought witness to the grief of victims' families. >> you cannot imagine what they're going through, and i'd

just like my deepest condolences to them and myself and the town are thinking about them. this has been the most dreadful, awful incident. >> reporter: at a dark moment, the flowers are a reminder of happier times and brighter days to come. nic robertson, reading, england.
