tennis star holds an event in croatia he tests positive for the coronavirus. good to have you with us. the numbers don't lie. the coronavirus is still spreading rapidly in the united states. and u.s. health expert dr. anthony fauci says if the country doesn't stamp it out now it could turn into a forest fire later. more than 121,000 people have died from the virus in the u.s. and 25 states recorded higher rates of new cases compared to last week. here's dr. fauci. the next couple of weeks are going to be critical in our ability to address those surges we're seeing in texas, florida

and other states. they are not the only ones having difficulty. plan a, don't go into a crowd. plan b, if you do, make sure you wear a mask. >> dr. fauci was one of several health experts at a hearing on tuesday in washington. all of them say they plan to ramp up testing and were not told to slow it down as president donald trump had said. cnn's nick watt has the latest. >> if you look how we've been hit, we've been hit badly. >> reporter: a checkup from dr. fauci, a praise for new york where they are controlling covid-19. >> however, in other area of the country we're now seeing a disturbing surge of infections. >> reporter: black americans are being hit harder. does institutional racism plays a part? >> the answer congressman is yes. >> reporter: and a vaccine? >> i think there's a good chance

that by the very beginning of 2021, that if we're going to the to have a vaccine, we'll have it by then. >> reporter: meantime they say it must be masks, distancing and hand washing. >> the next couple of weeks are critical in our ability to address those surgings we're seeing. >> reporter: cases on rise in half of our states. >> as we move from total lockdown to public health model of testing, tracking, isolating and quarantining, we have yet to see any state make that transition effectively. >> reporter: here's what happened in texas cities in re-opening began. >> they quadrupled. >> because the spread is so rapid right now there's never a reason for you to have to leave your home unless you do need to go out. >> reporter: he says even tougher actions might be needed if those numbers keep rising. here's florida since re-opening began. average case counts have

tripled. >> a week ago we had eight patients. none on a ventilator. now we're at over 40 plus patients, four on ventilators. we've had to find a second covid unit and looking for a third covid unit right now. >> reporter: more than 60% of all infections in the u.s. are in those under 50 according to the cdc. increasing fears for schools in the fall. and the return of sports. the world's number one tennis player novak djokovic just tested positive days after holding an up close tournament another player called bone headed. bad news from here in california. the state says they are seeing a record number of new cases and also a record number of people in the hospital suffering from covid-19. this isn't the second wave. this is still the first.

nick watt, cnn, los gatos. so let's bring in world-renowned medical expert dr. larry brill lapiant cnn med expert. it is a pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you for having he me. >> so let's start by looking at the numbers and the united states only represents 4% of the world's population, but makes up 25% of the world's covid deaths and 25% of its cases. and as a result of this the european union is now considering blocking u.s. visitors from entering europe for fear of spreading the virus when they eventually re-open. it is damning. how is it that the super power can't figure it out but germany, greece, new zealand and other countries can? >> i think it is damning. it is shameful.

and i think it's even a bit worse than that when you think that south korea and the united states, both got their first case on the same day, and the deaths in south korea are in the hundreds, and in the united states we just passed 120,000 deaths. it's shameful. and if the european union was thinking of closing the borders of that continent to american travellers, that would be doubly shameful but not without precedent. >> certainly it puts the united states on the same list as brazil and russia, which clearly wouldn't make president trump very happy. but also in his sworn testimony before congress tuesday, dr. anthony fauci and other medical experts contradicted president trump and said the president had never ordered them to slow down testing and dr. fauci said they actually need more testing not less. but the current system of

testing is failing in this country. what does the u.s. need to do to turn this around? >> you know, i agree with dr. fauci. we need more testing. it isn't the quantity of the testing. it's thement of the testing. we need to test people who come in to hospital. we need to test places that are clusters that could explode like nursing homes. we need to find every case of covid in the united states or in the world that harbors viruses that could infect other people. we need to test them and then contact trace backwards to find out where they got that disease and forwards to find out who might have had contact with them. all those people need to be tested and then some need to be treated. others need to be isolated. this is the secret sauce of epidemiology. this is the ingredient that made

it possible for germany and south korea and singapore to defeat the disease for a while anyway and we need to do that. that's the most important thing for us to do and it's epidemiology 101 as we say in college. >> as we get closer to the flu season we're going to have an even bigger problem because only 45% of american adults actually get the flu shot. what needs to be done to ensure everyone gets that vaccination so we can at least reduce the problem of flu infections when that second wave of coronavirus comes in the fall and winter? >> i wonder if it would be a second wave or just a continuation of this wave. but either way it will run smack dab into flu season. and when we test then, we'll have to have a different kind of test, one that can tell you if you have covid or not but also if your symptoms are that of the

flu or not. the this is the big challenge, the fear, the concern of epidemiologists, that if we don't have control of the epidemic by the time the flu season begins in october, november, december, we'll run into people coming in to emergency rooms who have fever, maybe they have the cough, they have the symptoms of flu, but they are the same symptoms early on as covid and it's going to get very difficult for our hospital systems, our emergency rooms to handle the flood of confusing cases. >> it is a terrifying thought. finally we see anti-vaxors getting a flu shot. a poll found one-third of americans say they won't even take the covid-19 vaccination even if it's available and free in the new year. what's the consequences of a third of the population refusing to get vaccinated for the covers?

coronavirus. >> it would be terrible. we need 70% to 80% to achieve to herd immunity. herd immunity refers to number of percentage of people vaccinated. if we cheat and say it includes people with natural immunity from the disease, still a third of americans not getting the vaccine we wouldn't achieve it. i don't know that they will feel that way when there is a vaccine and at the rate that covid is growing, i have a feeling that opinions might change between now and then. i hope so. >> i think you might be right. it is an honor to chat with you. thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. >> as coronavirus cases rise in the united states, president donald trump was at a rally in phoenix, arizona tuesday. it is his second mass gathering

in the last few days. no masks for the rally goers. no masks for the president either. and he even repeated the racist remark he made last weekend. >> got all different names. wuhan. wuhan was catching on. coronavirus. right? kung flu. yeah. kung flu. >> cases in arizona where the rally was being held are spiking. cnn's ryan noble takes a look at how the city of phoenix is handling the situation. >> reporter: the city of phoenix chose not to enforce an ordinance recently passed by the city council and mayor requiring anyone inside a venue like this and within six feet of someone else to be wearing a mask. this despite the fact that president trump spoke to an audience of nearly 3,000 people

inside this packed mega church. in fact at this event there were few if any precautions put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. temperatures were not checked as people came in. hardly any masks were worn. there was little to no social distancing. the president talking about the re-opening of the economy saying it was necessary, that it was a step that needed to be taken. also once again used that racist term to describe the coronavirus, calling it kung flu which is something this audience supported when the president made that comment again. u.s. travellers may be barred from european union countries when the bloc eases restrictions in july. the eu source revealing the possible ban familiar with the criteria but had not seen a list of countries. going by the data it's not hard to see why the eu would consider this move. the this chart compares the eu

and u.s. since the pandemic began, the u.s. never had its first wave under control and is now back sliding towards 30,000 new cases a day. cnn's melissa bell is in paris. she joins us now live. good to he see you, melissa. if u.s. visitors are, indeed, blocked from entering eu countries how will this work with each member nation? >> reporter: well essentially the bloc of 27 functions as just that. the restrictions that we've seen roughly imposed since march on foreign travellers will be lifted for some countries. they will not, according to the european union's own objective criteria allow the united states and countries like brazil to be open to the european union. now what that means concretely is that a decision that we're expecting in the next few days, the deadline is july 1st, we'll see a lot of countries in the world able to come in to the

european union, 27 nations, countries like france and germany and american citizens still banned. when you consider the amount of business, the economic ties between the eu and the united states, the very many millions of visitors who visit europe every year you see what a blow that would be. the eu is quite clear their criteria is this. if the country is either at the same level it is in fighting the coronavirus pandemic or better it will open its doors. according to that criteria the u.s. is not qualified. . >> it makes sense and we'll see how president trump responds to this. many thanks. brazil is reporting a staggering jump in new case. nearly 40,000 in 24 hours. now its president known as the trump of the tropics who has repeatedly flouted safety measures is getting an earful from a judge. we have more from sao paulo.

>> reporter: a brazilian judge ordered the why do wear a mask in public after the coronavirus skeptic appeared at many rallies without one. the judge said he would face a fine of up to $380 a day if he refused to use one while in public in the country's capital. bolsonaro downed played the virus saying economic fallout would be worse than covid-19. his supporters staged multiple rallies calling for an end to quarantine and he's frequently joined them, without a mask, shaking hand. the number of covid-19 cases continues to rise. brazil reported nearly 40,000 new infections on tuesday and more than 1300 additional deaths. and when we come back a surprising turn of events

u.s. authorities say the noose found in the garage of black nascar driver bubba wallace is not linked to a criminal act. the fbi reported the rope was used to pull a door closed in the garage and had been there since october of last year. >> reporter: there were 15 fbi agents assigned to this case. they wanted to get to the bottom of it very quickly. very important issue. very important case. they determined that this rope that had been found in bubba wallace's garage had been in that garage long before that garage was actually assigned to bubba wallace. in fact, we have new video tonight. take a look at this video from 2019. it was on youtube. it shows a garage door rope fashioned into a noose and that is in the stall used by bubba wallace's race team. a source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation is telling cnn that the noose in

that 2019 video is the same noose that bubba wallace's team alerted about, that there is just one noose involved in this case. let me give you a little bit from the joint statement by the fbi and u.s. attorney's office. it reads in part the noose found in garage number four was in that garage as early as october of 2019. although the noose is now known to have been in garage number four in 2019, nobody could have known mr. wallace would be assigned to garage number four last week. >> despite the fbi's findings, bubba wallace tells cnn he's still upset and doesn't think it was an ordinary rope. >> i've been racing all my life. i raced all my life in garages that don't have a garage pull like that. if people want to put out videos and photos of their evidence, go

ahead. from the evidence that we have, that i have, it's a straight up noose. the fbi has stated it was a noose over and over again. nascar leadership has stated that it was a has to . i can confirm that. i actually got evidence of what was hanging in my garage, over my car, around my guys to confirm that it was a noose. and never seen anything like it. >> nascar issued a statement regarding the fbi's findings. the organization says and i'm quoting here we appreciate the fbi's quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional racist act against bubba. a kentucky police officer has now been fired three months after the killing of an african-american woman. breonna taylor's death is one of several that sparked protests across the u.s. in recent weeks. the louisville metro police

department chief said the officer showed extreme difference to life when he fired the ten round. two other officers have been placed on administrative leave. protesters and taylor's family want all three officers to face charges. the 26-year-old emergency responder was killed in march when police broke down the door to her apartment as she was sleeping and shot her eight times in a botched raid. the mayor of seattle, washington wants to cut $20 million from the police budget. the mayor has been work with black led community organizations to dismantle the police free autonomous zone taken over by protesters. the proposed cuts are part of a broader effort to manage a city wide short fall of $378 million due to lower tax revenue and covid-19 related issues.

this after he organized a charity event and played in a series of tennis matches with social distancing guidelines pretty much ignored. so let's get reaction from the sporting world and for that we turn to cnn world sports alex thomas. good to see you alex. reaction has been swift and harsh. what are his fellow players saying about this? >> reporter: overall reaction is a, they hope everybody who tests positive gets better but b, how could they not seen this coming. this is novak djokovic, an in the at t-- intelligent guy. he always speaks so well. he's an engaging guy. he sas some curious views. expressing some anti-vaccination views especially this year when it was thought to be one of the measures they thought they might have to put in place for players

to go to the u.s. open. but here we are, as you saw in that video a second ago, they were in a disco dancing together, hugging together, taking photo calls close together. forget about one meter or two meter social distancing rules they went out the window. croatia where this exhibition event was held they have low numbers but many top players were there. grigor dimitrov calling off the tournament last week. it was called bone headed and hopes everyone gets well and andy murray a three-time grand slam winner himself was more diplomatic. take a listen. >> i've seen some people have said that, maybe, it puts the u.s. open in doubt which it may well do, but the measures and

the protocols that they have in place so far is completely different than what was going on in serbia and croatia and, obviously no bans for a star and all the players will be extremely aware we can all be affected by this and coronavirus doesn't care who they are or what we do. we need to respect the rules. >> reporter: diplomatic. djokovic was hinting this outbreak, positive test could threaten the u.s. open coming back as the tennis looks to get back on its feet. so much lost revenue. because it's djokovic, it's very interesting. he's president of the player's council.

philadelphia phillies. russia is observing the 75th anniversary of victory day commemorating the surrender of nazi germany in 1945. president putin put opened the celebration by speaking to the crowds in moscow before a military parade. just a week before the nation votes on whether to remain its constitution allowing mr. put wynn to extend his presidency to 2036. cnn's matthew chance is following these developments from london. he joins us now live. good to see you matthew. what impact has the pandemic had on the staging of this parade and of course what safety measures have been put in place for it? >> reporter: well, it's had a pretty profound impact. normally it's may 9th victory day parade is held and been delayed up until today. so that was as a direct result of the pandemic in russia which is, of course, the third worst affected country in terms of infections in the world after

brazil and the united states. back when they were practicing for the may 9th parade as many as 400 soldiers became infected with coronavirus. that underlines how severe the pandemic had become in russia and it led the authorities to take that difficult decision to delay the victory day parade until june the 24th and they've held it now despite the fact the pandemic continues to rage across russia. it's stabilized a little bit but we're still seeing 7,000 or so new infections every day, about 1,000 of those in moscow where this main parade is being held. in terms of what measures are being implemented to try to protect the par the at thecy pants, the soldiers taking part and there are 13,000 of them have been held in quarantine for two weeks before this event. the vip guests who have been invited into red square to see the march and military equipment they've all been tested by

officials for coronavirus. and the veterans, some of whom who are in their 90s who fought in the second world war, they also have been held in a quarantine at a health resort outside of moscow. also social distancing been implemented. several seats, every other seat or so is left vacant in the stand and the soldiers are marching at a greater distance from each other than they normally would. but, again, it's the political context of this rally, of this parade that's most important. a week from now as you mentioned before a nationwide vote is being held that could extend vladimir putin's power up until 2036. and i think there's been some criticism this has been an event that's been staged to rally patriotism ahead of that vote so that vladimir putin who has got historically low approval ratings for him can get a better outcome in that ballot. >> matthew, what is the likely outcome? what are the numbers showing?

>> reporter: well, i mean as ever in russia when you look at opinion polls, they more often than not show an overwhelming majority in support of the authorities and specifically in support of vladimir putin. i mention his approval ratings are at historic loss but still hovering around 59% which in the west, of course, would be considered very good indeed. certainly much higher than the u.s. president is experiencing at the moment. but vladimir putin is used to approval ratings in the high 80. so a big knock from his high point several years ago to the situation that he's in now. but for all intents and purposes the expectation is that when this vote happens on july 1st, it will be a victory for the authorities, the constitutional amendments will be passed, and. put will be entitled to a further two terms, two six year terms as russian president when

this current term ends in 2024, meaning that he could be president until 2036 in theory. >> extraordinary isn't it. matthew chance joining us live from london. many thanks. still to come, we take you straight to kentucky where fears about the coronavirus have reduced the number of polling places leading to scenes like this. we'll have the details coming up. plus the u.s. president has made it clear he doesn't support mail in voting even in these extraordinary times. but he keeps changing his story about why he's opposed. we'll have that in a moment.

audible is my road-trip companion. it's kind of my quiet, alone time. audible is a routine for me. it's like a fun night school for adults. i could easily be seduced into locking myself into a place where i do nothing but listen to books. i never was interested in historical fiction before, but i'm obsessed with it now. there are a lot of like, classic and big titles that i feel like i missed out since i don't have time to read, mean i might as well listen. if i want to catch up on the news or history or learn what's going on in the world, i can download a book and listen to it. because i listened to her story over and over again,

i made the decision to go ahead and follow my own dream, which was to help other veterans. i think there's like 180 books in my, in my library now. it changes your perspective; it makes you a different person. it's true, it's so true. to start your free 30-day trial, just text listen25 to 500500. to start your free 30-day trial, yeah. this moving thing never gets any easier. well, xfinity makes moving super easy. i can transfer my internet and tv service in about a minute. wow, that is easy. almost as easy as having those guys help you move. we are those guys. that's you? the truck adds 10 pounds. in the arms. -okay... transfer your service online in a few easy steps. now that's simple, easy, awesome. transfer your service in minutes, making moving with xfinity a breeze. visit xfinity.com/moving today.

people banging on the doors, wanting to vote. that was the scene tuesday in louisville, kentucky. a reckoning on racism and police

brutality has electrified the senate primary there. voting was extended to let them cast their ballot. traffic made them late. half hour exthe tension came at the conclusion of mostly smooth primaries in kentucky and new york. votes in both states were largely conducted by mail due to fears about the coronavirus pandemic. we will be monitoring those votes in the coming days and will make those projections as soon as we can. c >> reporter: on that much democrats agree -- but as voters cast ballots in kentucky they are divided over what kind democrat that should be. amy mcgraph is the favor of the washington party establishment but the decision is now in the hands of kentucky voters. state representative charles booker insisting progressive

candidate stands a better chance of defeating mitch mcconnell. >> there is a mountain that's blocking your progress and that's mitch mcconnell. >> reporter: a national reckoning on race is being felt across the political landscape. with establishment figures suddenly on edge. the senate primary in kentucky and congressional one in new york are the latest signs the ideological tug-of-war is very much alive inside the democrat party. jamal, a principal mounting a challenge against eli old engel chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. he's been in office for three decades. protests over racial justice and police brutality are now a central part of political reality too. in kentucky, the candidacy is growing moment after the killing of breonna taylor an emt in march. >> people are aware of how

interconnected we are. we're ready to receive the truth that injustice is pervasive. >> reporter: and bowman getting a far more serious look after engel was caught at a hot mic addressing protests after the death of george floyd. bowman won the backing of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. engel is supported by hillary clinton and speaker nancy pelosi and mcgraph by senate democratic leader chuck schumer. voting in the age of a pandemic requires patience. here in kentucky the secretary of state tells me there are record number of primary voters largely because of vote by mail and absentee balloting. in the age of the coronavirus pandemic that is essential election experts say to participation. of course it is an open question, how many of those methods will be available to voters across the country? president trump is railing against absentee balloting and

vote by mail. democrats say it's essential. u.s. president donald trump launched a new attack on mail in voting. making a series of false assertions to suggestion the 2020 elections will be corrupted by fraud. take a listen. >> this will remember, in my opinion, the most corrupt election in the history of our country, and we cannot let this happen. they want it to happen so bad. >> the president has been advancing untrue claims about mail in balloting for months. bri brian todd is gathering the facts. >> reporter: it seems to be president trump's conspiracy du jur. his claims about voter fraud in this year's election specifically fraud with ballots that are mailed in. >> when you do all mail in voting ballots, you're asking for fraud. people steal them out of mail boxes.

people print them and then sign them and give them in. people don't even know if they are double counted. >> reporter: trump pounded on the idea. mail in ballots will lead to rig election. many will be presented by foreign countries and others. it will be the scandal of our times. trump's attorney general had the same talking points. >> right now a foreign country could print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots and be very hard for us to detect. >> reporter: william barr himself says he hasn't looked into it and offered no evidence to back up the lame. cnn has done multiple fact checks on the theories of widespread mail in voter fraud and didn't find its true. federal election commission and independent experts backes up. >> it's miniscule. >> reporter: committing voter fraud on a mass basis is almost

impossible. if a foreign country tried to inject counterfeit mail in ballots safeguards in place would nail them. >> election officials themselves are prirnting bar codes nting b ballots and making sure they go out to proper voters. voters are signing those in return envelopes. there's signature verification going on election officials end. >> reporter: a quarter american voters cast ballots by absentee by mail in 2016. president trump has voted by mail as has vice president pence, attorney general barr, ivanka trump, jared kushner and white house press secretary, kayleigh mcenany. with coronavirus still a major health threat experts say the percentage of those mailing in votes could go way up this year and should to be safer. why does the president keep har harping on the conspiracy? >> i think president trump and

ag barr are focused on voter fraud. if you expand the franchise and have more people voting that he believes it will minimize the chance for a republican to be elected. >> the president does not seem to have the backing of top members of his own party. cnn spoke with several republican senators including those in top leadership positions. none of them said they agree with the president's comments about may it please in voting. brian todd, cnn, washington. you're watching "cnn newsroom". still to come we take you inside one of china's biggest coronavirus testing sites as the government grapples to contain a recent outbreak. we're back in just a moment. learning, and concentration. try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference.

you're looking at one of many mass testing sites that have been set up particularly within beijing following the wholesale food cluster outbreak that happened more than a week ago. they say it's now one control but continuing testing in massive numbers. you got here 19 rows set up. this is for 19 different communities that feed into this one massive testing site. once people registered they are taken across this little way here into these lines. they end up here. almost like getting in rides at an amusement park. follow me over here. this is where the actual test is done. takes about 30 seconds. you have about 100 staff members that work in two hour shifts. they do the throat swab. they take that sample. put it in a refrigerator, and then move on to the next person. usually it takes just a few days time to get the results back and most people are only notified if they have a positive result. you can see over here this is

where the staff will take off all their ppe, all of their protective equipment and throw it away. kept in a safe separate area. other staff that are about ready to come on shift get changed, suited up and go through a sanitation procedure in a separate facility to then keep this going really from 9:00 in the morning the until 10:00 at night. in three days time that this has been operating they've done about 20,000 tests. this was built overnight. so they pop up relatively quickly. they will keep it going for as long as they need to within here in beijing and say as of now they feel they are on a good path in keeping this most recent cluster outbreak one control. but they are saying complacency is what they are trying to avoid with all of this. dividend culver, cnn, beijing. >> thanks so much for your company.
