because we are at such a low point and saying, sure, the numbers of unemployment may look better over time starting from a low point but not going to be the same as before and this is more evidence of that. >> appreciate that reporting. we'll stay on top of that. hello. i'm john king in washington. in many communities this hour, the coronavirus fight tougher. the fourth highest single day case count over the entire pandemic. the national map, picture of failure. infections rising in 29 states. compared to last week. only 11 states managing to trend down at the moment. nearly 2.4 million cases here in the united states. 122,000 americans so far have sadly lost their lives to the coronavirus. economics also a grim number

today. 1.5 million people filing first-time unemployment benefits last week. the running total of americans who have lost a job since mid-march, sit down for this one, 47.3 million. there's also politics sadly how to keep the economy open. wearing a mask helps. period. yet the president of the united states says some wear some to protest him and does not consider them an essential counter measure. the current path of americans with a mixed approach tomasing wearing ends with 180,000 dead by october in this model. if 95% of americans would wear a mask says 30,000 fewer americans would die. texas in the middle of what doctors call apocalyptic surge. the governor today making big steps pausing further reopening. the governor also today suspending elected surgeries in

the counties of the biggest case counts. alexander field has the news. he decided he couldn't wait a month. >> reporter: look. texas realizing they have a big problem on their hands and that they have to act now. this is a state that was among the first to reopen. now they're realizing that there have been dire consequences. two straight days to see the record for new cases broken in texas and hospitalizations increasing over the last 13 days. alarmingly, so much so that the mayor of houston said that the icus at 97% capacity. that's why you have seen the governor move to increase hospital capacity putting a pause on those elective surgeries. how serious is the situation here in texas? positivity rate for tests over 10%. in may the governor said getting over that 10% threshold signals

a problem. >> if the positivity test rate is more than 10% that's one of those red flags that we begin to look at. not if it's just a one off day. of testing more than 10% positive but if there's multiple days and a trend line begins to a 10% positive ratio of those being tested and those being tested positive, that is a warning flag for us to keep track of. >> reporter: with the hand that texas has now been dealt the governor trying to put extra precautions and safety measures in place giving local governments the authority to limit gatherings to 100 people and saying people should be wearing masks and the effectiveness of masks but this is the governor not ordering people to wear masks but an i loued local governments to tell businesses to tell people to

wear masks. john? >> to that point, help us with the context here. give the governor some credit. a few days ago he said the numbers are worse and wanted to wait before he acted. he's decided to act here including the point you made which is key. a lot of mayors said they wanted to do more locally and the governor stripped the right to do so. this is quite significant. >> reporter: they're empowered to do that. this started with a court ruling determining a local government to require masks. the governor supported that ruling, agreed with it, certainly touted the effectiveness of masks, encouraging people to wear them and didn't go so far to mandate them at the beginning of this outbreak but he's warning people this is a serious situation and while he was one of the first to move to reopen the state taking it as far as phase three and telling people that the situation so serious if they don't need to leave the home

they shouldn't. >> very important reporting. grateful you are on the ground for us today. keep in touch with us. with us now is the director of center for health security at johns hopkins, dr. tom inglesby. it is inevitable the case count goes up. when you see the governors among those early to reopen say it's time to pause or be more careful, is this just inevitable? smart? mid course adjustment or a bigger problem? >> a good sign the governor is doing this. the fact he's moving kind of forward in terms of mask use, i would like limb to go further. he should require masks in public spaces while the crisis is i think growing, while the numbers growing at this rate. if you look at texas, over 6,000 new cases.

new york at its worst moments far period of time around 10,000 cases a day so that's a state versus city comparison and not an accurate but it gives you a sense that this is a serious situation for texas and for other states that have rapidly rising numbers so i think it's very appropriate for the governor to be doing that. >> you mentioned masks. listen here to dr. fauci and let's just listen to him in the simple common sense and science and let's listen. >> there's no secret formula for that except to say get past it. it should not be a political issue but a public health issue. forget the politics. look at the data. >> among the scientific data, this is a projection and not rear view window data but on the current path with some people wearing masks, some not more die between now and august and projects if 95% of americans put

on a mask outside close to other people that 24,000 people would die so 33,000 fewer americans would die. that's a projection and we know projections can change but is there any doubt about the effectiveness of masks? any doubt at all? >> no. i think every health agency in the world now talks about the importance of masks. it is important for the wearer to prevent the spread to somebody else in their community and an act of kindness and the right thing for public health and i completely agree with dr. fauci, it is the right thing to do. there is no sub text here. wear the mask to decrease the spread in the community. and for people to do that that increases the chance that businesses can move forward and that our society can reopen in other ways. and when they don't wear masks they're endangering the p reopening of states. favor moving ahead with masks at

this time. >> you're a public health expert and i have to wander you into the political debates in the country impacting the course on public health. there's a thoughtful editorial today in "wall street journal," a conservative newspaper, going through the idea you cannot shut down the economy right now fully and would be too painful iand says states and the fed needs more testing. leaders and even president trump can talk realistically about the continuing risks and measures to reduce the spread. large gatherings to be limited. it will be a long haul but america has managed through worse. people may agree or disagree but it's thoughtful, well laid out. the point is it talks about even the president can talk realistically about the continuing risks and says limit large gatherings. the president recent days at several large gatherings and he

said he did a phenomenal job and the fight is won. is that responsible leadership? >> well, we know large gatherings are which sparked large outbreaks. there's plenty of evidence, many, many repeated examples in the u.s. and outside in other countries in the world so we absolutely should be limiting large gatherings right now. we are not ready to reopen large gatherings and endangers the reopening for other businesses to move forward with without as much risk. i think it's important for the president and for nation add leaders and state leaders to communicate in the same thing. actions that we take as individuals to reduce the risk of spread of this disease in the country. it is the same messages of all along and the same virus and not changing. physically distant at more than six feet outside your home. telecommute if you can and wear a face covering.

that could reduce the spread of the disease around the country. >> doctor, in closing, as we see the surgings, i go back to a few months ago. explain to people hearing the gor nor of texas testing is good. the president blames the case count on the testing. when the governor says above 10% consistently in the positivity rate and that's why we have a problem and communities in florida above 20%. is that an important issue to focus on right now? >> as we increase the number of tests done around the state, the other really important metric is to follow what percent of those tests are positive. and the global standard right now is to try to have that percent below 5%. there are some states in the country where that percent is down around 1 prgs or less than 1% which is fantastic but now some states the number coming back up in a dangerously quick way so states with 5%, 8%, 10%, 20% in parts of their states and

that's a sign that the disease is resurging, the epidemic is not under control and needs to take new action. >> doctor, appreciate your insights. appreciate the work you every day, sir. thank you. >> thank you, john. >> bill gates will join anderson cooper tonight, a brand new town hall. coronavirus: facts and fears live tonight 8:00 p.m. here on cnn. travels to wisconsin after the national guard to help local police. when you shop with wayfair, you spend less

president trump off to battle gound wisconsin today. polls show him losing quite big to joe biden there at the moment. on the agenda town hall with sean hannity of fox news. we have the latest on the president's trip today. kaitlan? >> reporter: it's clear the president is trying the shore up support in wisconsin.

the vice president was there and the internal polls not looking good so that is of course the reason for the president's visit to that shipyard that's getting that contract from the navy today. it is all of course got a political lens to it. four months out from the election and comes as just days ago the president was in tulsa, of course, for that first rally since returning to the campaign trail after the coronavirus restrictions. we have now learned just in the last few minutes that several of the president's campaign staffers are now quarantining this week out of an abundance of caution after interacting with several of the staffers that tested positive on saturday or in the days after that rally. several staffers are not going into the office this week. the office right outside of washington but deciding to quarantine and this just comes as you're seeing more and more fallout from the rally where not only are cam pan staffers to quarantine but secret service officers who came in contact with those two officers who tested positive are also now

quarantining. it has not stopped the president from traveling. the white house says that the president and the aides around him are regularly tested and so making a third trip out of washington in as many days to shore up support in wisconsin. >> a key battleground state. appreciate that. let's continue the conversation with chief political correspondent dana bash. before the polls and the outright politics, the president keeps saying i did a phenomenal job, my team did a phenomenal job. the coronavirus is behind us. one would think if the campaign staffers tested positive and the secret service agents you might want to calibrate the message differently. >> reporter: you might but you think about somebody who doesn't believe that he can will things to be a certain way just by the power of his rhetoric. and that's what he still believes and it's just not true. it is not true on so many levels. first of all, coming to the reality as you mentioned, more

than a handful of his campaign staffers have already tested positive. we don't know what will happen with the other who is are quarantining right now. we also don't know what this means for people who actually attended, his supporters, that attended that rally. there's no word of people being positive but again it's too early to tell. what's really -- one of the most fascinating things of this, john, is the whole mask debate because many of these staffers, for example, were not wearing masks following the lead of the boss, the commander in chief. the president heading into wisconsin, a swing state. there is a pollster by the name of rich tau doing a lot of really monthly interviews with swing voters in swing districts that went for obama and then trump. the last round this month six of the people he talked to voted for trump and obama and then

trump. they all said that the president is being ridiculous and irresponsible, my word but effectively what they said in not wearing a mask. that if anything else -- if nothing else, tell the president that he's on the wrong side of this for the people he needs to win re-election if that's the thing that is guiding all of this. >> people who live in the real world live this every day. they understand. they're trying to go to work and deal with the kids. the questions. an issue here is the president said he did a phenomenal job and that we in the media and the american people to give him more credit. the former national security add vier said at the beginning the president wanted no part of it. >> he didn't want to hear about the potential impact of a pandemic on the american economy and its affect on the re-election. turning a blind eye to all these early signs. i think hampered the country's ability to deal with this and continues to do so.

>> that's pretty damning from john bolton. the president can say he's disgruntled, i like him to begin with, but we see the impact of this now seeing the swing state polling and the president's numbers underwater in arizona, florida, michigan, north carolina, pennsylvania and in wisconsin in this new "the new york times" poll and six of them he trails in. others saying something needs to be adjusted. graham it is a bad couple of weeks. murkowski, words matter. thune, strike a more emphathetic tone. mr. president, my translation, you're dragging us down. >> that's what they say in public. what they say in private is more clear and blunt you can be sure of that. it's not just dragging them down. it is just, you know, it is just wrong and one of the story lines

and the through lines of the trump presidency has been republicans on capitol hill just too frightened to challenge the president because their own base has been so pro trump. the fact that the republicans, not abandoning him, at least for the most part, but the fact that they feel more free to speak out is very, very telling about how even the president's own base in their states are seeing the way that the president is doing it. they don't like it. >> that's an excellent point. they feel more freedom as the president's numbers go down and stepping a few inches away. appreciate the reporting and the insights there. you heard the unemployment numbers today. more people filing claims. congress considering more stimulus. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

fireworks, separation,pedic or any other anxieties,ep, (announcer) if your dog suffers from fear of thunder, thundershirt may be the answer. thundershirt, absolutely, 100% works. new jobless number this is morning show nearly 1.5 million more americans filed for unemployment claims last week. see the effect of the pandemic on jobs. since mid-march, that total now nearing 50 million people applying. here's the states hit hardest. georgia, kentucky, oklahoma, hawaii topping 40%. another round of checks could be coming as part of a new stimulus package of capitol hill. president trump supports it but likely to be different from the

other response efforts. one distributed money to 160 million americans affected by this pandemic. phil mattingly up on capitol hill tracking this. obviously they get the urgency. what will they do and when will they do it? >> reporter: the dynamics are very, very different. you think back to the massive $2 trillion emergency rescue package passed in march, passed unanimously in the senate and near unanimously in the united states house. the house led by democrats passed a $3 trillion second phase of the stimulus package and republicans led by mcconnell wanting to wait and see where there's holes and more necessity and then start to act. i think the interesting element of that is you have an economy where republicans long felt like they had the edge in a very bad spot and need to act so here's

the timeline. republicans macking clear in the senate to act by the end of july. the structure of the bill will look a lot like that first package. very much in play right now. the trump administration, the treasury secretary supportive though likely looking different if they occur and unemployment. the expanded unemployment insurance adding $600 in federal enhancement runs out end of july, that's a cliff and that likely will drive whether or not something happens. republicans very uncomfortable with extending that as democrats asked to do. they talked about scaling it back, perhaps an employment bonus instead of that. state and local funding, a report of this morning as many as 4 million jobs to be lost without state and local funding. bottom line, john, something has to be done. one thing to key on, unemployment report next week for july, that i'm told will

drive probably where things end up. >> likely to be more grim news for us. phil mattingly tracking the conversations on the hill, thank you. health care a big focus for joe biden today. he campaigns in pennsylvania. mj lee is in pennsylvania on the trail. what is on joe biden's mind today? >> reporter: john, because we are in the middle of this pandemic joe biden has not been on the campaign trail full-time but when he has had the in-person events he tried to use them in push forward a new policy plan over a key platform of his campaign and as you said the theme and the focus today is going to be health care and it is twofold. we are told that biden very much wants to highlight and remind voters of a recent comment that donald trump made saying he wanted the administration to slow down on coronavirus testing. of course, this is a comment

that goes against all of the advice that we have heard from public health experts of how to clamp down on covid-19 and try to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and so this is something that we are expected to hear joe biden talk about today and second and more broadly expect joeb to talk about protecting and improving upon obama care and going to meet with families that benefitted from the affordable care act according to the campaign and the trump administration pushing the chorus to try to dismantle the aca and something we heard joe biden talk about at a virtual fund-raiser with former president obama earlier in the week and i have to mention of course as both campaigns start gearing up for the general election a battle grown state they're both watching closely is pennsylvania and as joe biden heads over here today "the new york times" new poll shows that joe biden with a double digit lead over donald trump. john? >> nice numbers to have today.

cases. dr. nate smith is director of the state health office in arkansas joining us live. good to see you again. describe where your state is right now. the cdc said it is worried arkansas is a state where the death count keeps growing. i want to put the 14-day trend up on the screen and not going don. is that a plateau or on the way up still? >> it is really hard to tell. we have seen a steep encrease over a past few weeks. we are starting to see a plateauing at least in the northwest part of the state. where we have had our greatest number of cases and where we focused our efforts but then we are also seeing the increases in other parts of the state. so time will tell but we are hoping that we can at least achieve a plateau. >> and so if you look at polaski county, little rock there, you see progress in other places, projected 66 cases a day by july

18th from a children's hospital of philadelphia policy lab model. is that what you are see on the ground? that's the largest populated area. if the trend line going in the wrong direction that could be a cause for concern. >> the county central arkansas is the most densely populated area. we've seen some ups and downs. we have not seen a steady increase like we did in northwest arkansas a few weeks ago. but there's obviously a concern in the central part of the state. so far we have seen little bit up and down. but not a super high increasing trend. >> and are you seeing -- is your problem when you see a problem is it we have talked in the past of a church at within point with a cluster, you have obviously a number of chicken and meat processing plants in the state of arkansas r. you seeing clusters or the bigger worry to

see more community spread? >> we are still seeing a clusters here and there. where we have had the most concerning trend the northwest part of the state where we were seeing community transmission, particularly in our latino population and our population of immigrants from the republic of the marshal islands and many associated with the poultry industry and seem to be making headway there. but for the other parts of the state it is a nursing home here, it is a prison there, it's a church or other cluster somewhere. it is not been a generalized increase like we did see in the northwest corner of the state. >> 21 states if you go across the country require masks. arkansas is not among those. it's a conservative state and sometimes people rebel if you will against government mandates.

do you think a mask requirement would help? >> the important thing is whether people wear masks or not, not whether you require them or not. there are some parts of the state where it might be perceived as excessive. we were in baxter county with the governor earlier in the week. they have one active case in the entire county. but there are other places where it's very important to wear masks and whether they do it because they understand the value or government requirement i don't think covid-19 cares but the important thing is that people do the right thing, wear masks out in public to limit the spread of covid-19. >> we're all affected by the neighbors. we have 50 state expertments and one of them is texas and the govern knorr pulling back on the reopening. does that worry you that your neighbor is having a problem?

>> certainly does. actually, if you look at the surrounding states they have increasing numbers of cases. so we are concerned. but there's not anything i can do about surrounding states. we got to focus on what we as the citizens can do to protect our loved ones and communities. >> as always appreciate your time and candor on the program. thanks very much. >> thank you. a look now at the global coronavirus developments from the correspondents around the world. >> here in france the eiffel tower just reopened to visitors after the longest shutdown since the second world war. we are on the second floor with a sweeping city and tourists are starting to come back although not in their usual numbers. the tower's hoping to attract 4,000 to 5,000 visitors today but compared to 23,000 normally

this time of year. and those who come are getting a slightly different eiffel tower experience. masks are mandatory of course. distancing isn't so much of a problem out here in the open but it does mean that the lifts aren't open yet. so if you want the view you have to earn it. and take the stairs. that's a 15-minute climb to the second level and then you have to settle for that because the top of the tower isn't open yet. >> well, it was almost one month to the day at this point that the pan american health organization declared latin america and the caribbean an epicenter of the global pandemic and then in the several weeks seasons we know that cases in this part of the world have about tripled going from just under 700,000 a month ago to now more than 2 million cases and for the first time this region is now reporting more than

100,000 total confirmed deaths and health officials told reporters on wednesday they expect it to be around for sometime to come. the director of the pan american health organization said that she expects there could be outbreaks in this region for the next two years absent a widely available vaccine. the director went on to say in part quote we must be realistic about the future. the question is no longer how do we go back to the way things were before but move forward and build a sustainable outbreak response. matt rivers, cnn, mexico city. here in brazil, the health ministry reported more than 42,000 new infections on wednesday. the second highest daily increase on record. also more than 1,100 additional deaths. while the president bolsonaro is ordered by a judge to wear a mask in public or face a fine of $380 a day. bolsonaro repeatedly down played

the virus insisting the economic fallout from the social isolation measures would be worse than covid-19. he rarely putts on a mask at public events. >> meanwhile, throughout latin america covid-19 cases have tripled in the last month surpassing 2 million infections according to the pan american health organization. the group's director warning that governments are under pressure to ease measures due to economic and political crisis even though transmission is still increasing. shasta darlington, cnn, sao paulo. here in china, beijing city officials consider this most recent cluster outbreak to be basically contained in their words. believed to have originated in a wholesale food market here in the capital and several neighborhoods are still on strict welcomed. but outside of those controlled communities, officials allowed life to continue mostly

uninterrupted but still restrictions on those looking to travel out of beijing and mass testing sides that cnn toured continue to require screening for what's amounted to hundreds of thousands of residents. of that they have only reported about 250 confirmed cases from this outbreak. and everyone though it's officially under control new cases have been reported each day. in all, since the start of the pandemic, chinese health officials say they have conducted more than 90 million coronavirus tests but not 90 million people tested but in many cases for me and my team here, individuals are tested multiple times. david culver, cnn, beijing. up next for us, major league sports teams trying to make a comeback. will an increase in positive tests among athletes get in the way? hot! hot!

the nfl now postponing the hall of fame weekend in ohio for one year because of the coronavirus including the induction ceremony and the pre-season opening game between the cowboys and the steelers will have to wait. that move comes as several nfl players tested positive for coronavirus and also hearing about more and more major league baseball and nba players testing positive, as well. that's a problem as the leagues try to get up and running.

>> john, the nfl preseason now not starting on time. the pro football hall of fame making it official this hour, there's two classes next hour and the game between the cowboys and steelers six weeks from today moving to next august, as well. they had players testing positive for coronavirus two weeks. this marks the first major nfl event postponed due to the pandemic. the league was still able to conduct the draft they had free agency virtually and with most teams scheduled for training camp, cnn was told that we don't need the nfl and he won't feel comfortable about going back until there's no risk at all. >> the nba is different than the nfl because they can actually quarantine all of the players or whoever who participates. we can't do that. until we get to the point where

we have protocols in place and get to a place as a country where we feel safe doing it we have to understand that football is a nonessential business and don't need to do it and so the risk you know has to be really eliminated before i feel comfortable going back. >> all right. at least five teams had players test positive for covid-19 and adding to a growing list of cases. the pacers, the kings and all confirming positive tests yesterday as the nba moves closer to resuming the season in orlando at the end of july and three more mlb teams with players who are positive. making the total of nine teams reporting cases since last week and all until one week of spring training to begin and kentucky derby beginning a limited number of fans. new york city marathon is
