out of their own horizons. let there be light in the firmament of the heavens. hello to our viewers in the u.s., and all around the world. thank you for joining us. so, you would not know by looking at the beaches in the u.s. that we are in the middle of a pandemic. but as millions partied over the holiday, we had a surge in coronavirus cases, with record numbers being reported. parts of australia will be shut off from the rest of the country, with cases there rising. and the world is trying to get back to a sense of normalcy. children returning to the fields with their fast on everyone's minds.

live from cnn, cnn newsroom. the u.s. is just wrapping up a holiday weekend. the social distance, not everyone paid attention. there's fears of more spikes in coronavirus, the concern is that partiers can take it back to family and co-workers. the u.s. is leading the world in cases and deaths and cases are still rising in most. it will soon be overwhelmed. it's a dangerous time to be in florida, state reported just shy of 10,000 new infections just on sunday. and on saturday, florida broke records in a single day.

things are likely to get worse than better. as we now report. this weekend, we saw sizeable crowds line up, 1200 tests were administered and they had to close early because they ran out of tests. now, local officials are concerned that folks may not be following the social distancing guidelines and that's why we are seeing the surges that we are. we spoke with the mayor of miami beach, dan gilbert, he shares the concerns with us. listen to us. >> how do you tell somebody to wear a mask and be socially

accident, when the president doesn't and holds a rally and makes a joke of the simple counter measures. we are not on the same page, and there's not unit y in our community or any community. that's the greatest challenge. if people listened and did what they made sense and what was healthy. we would get through it better. >> the big open question is what happens next. two weeks specifically, with the covid-19 numbers. coronavirus carries a 14-day incubation period and after another holiday weekend in previous months, memorial day weekend, we saw a surge in cases because people were ignoring social distancing. what happens in two weeks? will we see bigger numbers than the record breaking ones we saw this weekend. miami beach. >> now the state of new york was hard hit by the pandemic early on. until recently, it was a global covid-19 epi-center. this week, officials in new york city, are taking another step towards reopening.

as we are explained. >> reporter: it's going to be a round of reopenings by new york, ask they enter phase three. no indoor dining as governor cuomo said it has led to complications in the past. and he does not want to take a step back. but nail salons, and tattoo parlors can welcome back customers, as long as they continue to require masks and limit capacity in their businesses. one of the reasons we are seeing more businesses open in what was once the epi-center of the u.s. portion of the pandemic is because the numbers are trending well. for example, on saturday, about 46,000 people were tested for covid. less than 1% tested positive. so, that's one of the reasons why this weekend, we saw it was very active, a lot of people went out to celebrate fourth of july, they did so with a little

more confidence, and authorities are are reminding them to exercise caution and continue to social distance and continue to wear the masks as well. cnn, new york. >> and u.s. president donald trump plans to hold a rally this saturday in new hampshire. one of the few states where coronavirus cases are dropping. as cases explode everywhere else, he has down played the virus during the independence day speech, and yet, had another misleading statement. >> president trump this weekend claiming that 99% of coronavirus cases are totally harmless. that claim not only evidence free, but defying reality and it goes against what every public health expert in the united states is trying to do, which is to get the american public and this virus and the cases surging more seriously. while the world health organization has estimated that globally the mortality rate of the virus is less than 1%, they also estimate that about 20% of people diagnosed with the virus

require oxygen, or hospitalization. so, certainly not harmless cases and of course, we know that this virus is extremely contagious. now, doctor steven haun, a top member of the coronavirus task force that is an fda commissioner, he was pressed by president trump's claim. >> i'm not going to get in to who is right and who is wrong. i will say what i said before, it's a serious problem, we saw the surge in cases we must do something to stem the tide and we have it in our power to do it by following the guidance from the white houses task force and the cdc. >> you can see, dr. hahn, not wanting to directly contradict president trump, but making sure it's clear that it's a serious situation. that's the message that we have been hearing from public health experts who have been encouraging americans to take the social distancing and mask wearing and all the steps to try to flatten the newly rising curve. president trump falsely claimed

again there, that testing is responsible for the rise in cases across the country. that is just not true. and completely contradicted by the fact. the biggest surges, are seeing testing a steady or declining while the percentage of people testing positive in the tests is going up. which shows that this is not simply about an increase in cases. cnn, the white house. >> so we have new insight in to how the coronavirus has spread. even the tiniest of droplets we make when we talk or cough or sneeze can be dangerous. in fact a group of experts say these small croplets stay in the air longer and they can be inhaled more deeply in to the lungs. so, to talk about it and other matters around coronavirus, i'm joined by dr. george rod re, a viral specialist. good to see you, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> i want to ask you about the latest report and i know there's so many unanswered questions about covid. group scientists are saying even

the small, small airborn particles can be dangerous and penetrate deeper in the lungs. how important is droplet size in terms of the spread? >> obviously, it's very important. we have known for a while, that the droplets the wet droplets that we excrete when we sing, talk, are the ones that carry the live virus. depending on the atmosphere and the closeness of a room, they can hang out in the room for a longer period of time than for example if you are outside. that's not to stay that being outside is not without harm. and that may be why we are seeing that a lot of the transmissions that are occurring are occurring in closer quarters with family members or parties, etcetera. so, is it something that, for example, as bad as legionairres where it's in the air ducts?

i don't we don't think so, or there would be a larger amount of cases. but droplets and closeness spreads the infection. >> i want to get a situational example from you. we have been getting the pictures of people partying on beaches and in pubs over the weekend, you know, jammed together in their swimming trunks. and then, is that, so that's the easiest way to get covid? or are we also saying, you can just step in to an elevator or taxi after someone has left it, and still be infected by their breath? can you help us in terms of these situations? >> i don't think that's absolutely clear yet. is it theoretical that you can step in an elevator and somebody coughed and it will be hanging around a minute or two? yes, it's possible, thus the reason to wear a mask. but the most dangerous thing is being within a certain amount of feet of people, six is the magic number. and on doing what i'm doing, let's say that you are right

here, which is speaking in close proximity. that is the most dangerous, i personally believe that if it were more airborn than we know, then we would have much greater number of cases. but, again, that is still needing to be investigated a lot more closely. >> yeah, as i said, there's still so many questions, a lot of scientists are pushing the cdc -- why is that? >> well, you just hit the word. >> politics. >> politics. you know, and that is so unfortunate, i mean, when today, dr. haln could not say that the president was wrong, it was all politics. i'm saying that the president is wrong saying that 99% of the people that get the disease, there's nothing to it. that's the great crime that is being committed is the fact that

we are completely politicizing a virus. people are not wearing a mask as a sign of their belief. as opposed to wearing masks not only to protect themselves but for the kindness of protecting other people. it's really disheartening. >> and as you say, extremely dangerous, here in america, we look at the curve and it's shooting upwards. we see what happened over memorial day weekend. how concerned are you as a doctor and where is america going here? this is almost devastating in terms of what potentially the outcome is. >> it has not been a very positive weekend. we saw these photos, and we see all of these, almost just

beligerantly going against device, almost like a squared child, sort of whistling in the dark as if nothing were going to happen. where is it going to go? people bring up the fact that hey, maybe death rates. >> new york had 700 deaths a few days ago. one of the still, compared to where it was. it's nothing now. but it's still there, and what we are seeing is many different little new yorks across the country. it's miami, it's a little new york. houston is a little new york. phoenix is a little new york. so we are seeing multiple epi-centers and there are going to be more in two to three weeks. no doubt about it. >> dr. george rod re, thank you for joining us with that warning. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> so, with coronavirus cases spiking in australia's victoria

state in melbourne in particular. officials will be closing the border starting on tuesday. effectively cutting victoria off from the rest of the country. 127 new cases were reported in victoria on sunday and officials have locked down several public housing towers. not allowing residents to leave. well, we are here to discuss more with all of this is angus watson. tell us more about the radical decision. >> radical is a good word for it, robin. >> it's not something that was done in australia throughout the length of the pandemic all year. 3,000 -- in the city, unable to leave their homes for any reason. unlike 12 other post codes in melbourne, who were around in lockdown and are allowed to go out and exercise or get food or give care to somebody who needs it. the 3,000 people in the 900 housing units can not go out for anything. there's armed police guarding them, making sure that they

don't leave and there's a huge lodgistics effort on by the victorian state government to try to feed them and keep them going through the period that could last five days, it could last 14 or longer. now, each one of them are going to be tested. 53 people in those, of those 3,000 have come up so far out of 400 tests positive for the disease. and the authorities are just terrified that covid-19 could rip through these communities. these very densely populated communities that share a lot of homes. they are sharing a lot of ammenities among each other, they are terrified that it could rip through and do damage to the people. the state government said that many have underlying health issues. >> there is the localized response and the closing off of victoria, what is the public reaction? >> that's not something that happened before in australia,

and the last time that the border between the two most popular states was 100 years ago for spanish flu. that was an interesting notion to draw. this is something that australians are looking to the outbreak in melbourne that is concerning to them. ten people are found to have covid-19 had in new south wales yesterday, that's the only, those are the only other positives tests in australia. they have been doing well and there's victoria where the outbreak is getting worse. >> thanks for that update. keep us posted. >> so, everyone mourning the loss of nick core dadero, who d after his battle with covid-19. complications was multiple strokes and medically induced

coma and a leg amputation, zach graph said he has never met a nicer person. nick cordero was 41 years old.

so this holiday weekend was a deadly won in the u.s. not just because of coronavirus. but also because of gun violence. in chicago, we know at least 67 people were shot. 13 people died. 2 of the youngest victims were children. one was a 7-year-old girl that was visiting her grandmother. she was killed while playing with a group of friends. chicago mayor, tweeted about it saying, she joined a list of teenagers and children who's hopes and dreams were ended by the barrel of a gun. and here in atlanta, four people killed, including an 8-year-old. she died just across the street from where rayshard brooks killed. the mayor said it's not enough to protest against police violence, she wants the community to do more than that. >> we have talked a lot about what we are demanding from our

officers and communities. we have protested, we have demonstrat demonstrated we've been angry. we've cried and we've demanded action. now, we are demanding action for sekoria turner, and for all the people that were shot in atlanta last night and over the past few weeks. the reality is this, these are not police officers shooting people on the streets of atlanta. these are members of the community shooting each other. and in this case, it's the worst possible outcome. there were two other people who were actually shot and killed last night and several others. enough is enough. >> and then in washington, d.c., an 11-year-old boy was killed on saturday night, devon mcneal was not the head outside his aunt's

house, the grandfather said the family was supposed to be out of town, they cancelled the trip because of the pandemic only for davon to be killed in their backyard. the first person to be charged under the new national security law is to be in court in the next hour. they have incited protest against a new law, which broadened china's ability to crack down on dissent, we are move details on that, anna, hi? >> that is right, robin, the man will appear in court in just over an hour. he was riding a motorcycle on the first of july, when thousands of people took to the streets protesting against the new national security law. and he was flying a flag that said liberate hong kong, revolution out of our time. that of course has been the protest slogan that we have seen on the streets of hong kong over

the last year. that is now banned. that is deemed a threat to china's national security. he also drove in to police. we don't know if it was deliberate or accidental. he ended up in hospital. he will be discharged from hospital so he can appear in court. but as you say, he has been charged in incitement for succession, and terrorist activities. under the new law, these types of acts, are all deemed to be in breech of this national security law. which china said is to restore peace. restore calm to the streets of hong kong. i mean, it's not denying that the streets have been boiled for the last year due on to the protests. these pro democracy movement. people fighting for new

freedoms. this new law coming in, changed hong kong. people are fearful of what they say, what books they possess. we know that shops have removed stickers with slogans on them pro demaocracy slogans and stors that showed supports for protesters have had them and they have been removed. ten people on the first of july was charged under the new national security law, they were among the 370 who were arrested many of them for unlawful assembly. but, from i witnessed, robin they were peaceful protests. majority of them were peaceful protest. that is now deemed to be illegal. if you are calling for dissent, if you are calling for opposition against the chinese communist party.

that is now considered a threat to the national security, robin. >> yeah, certainly chilling the events and this law. thanks for joining us, good to see you, thank you. >> and so in ethiopia the results on of the anti-gomt protest has reportedly doubled. more than 166 people were killed in that unrest. most of them civilians. the demonstrations erupted on monday after the shooting death of a popular musician who advocated for the rights of the country's largest ethnic group. the situation now appears to be under control. the authorities have been patrolling the streets, trying to prevent further unrest. meanwhile, coming up on cnn, cuba is sending medical personnel to battle the coronavirus. and the trump administration claims it's exploitation. we will explain why, that is next. we've seen a thing or tw like how nice it is to save on your auto policy.

but it's even nicer knowing that if this happens... ...or this happens... ...or this.... ...or this... ...or even this... ...we've seen and covered it. so, switch to farmers and you could save an average of three hundred ninety-five dollars. get a quote today. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪

♪ welcome back to cnn newsroom, i'm robyn curnow, the u.s. will have a death toll of 130,000 soon. and those that did not social distance during the holiday weekend, may drive it higher. these are the states where infections were increasing. the orange and ma roon, marking the states with the most serious

outbreaks. the president is down playing concerns telling a crowd that 99% of cases are totally harmless. which is a baseless claim. he is also planning to hold another campaign rally next saturday? new hampshire. well, california is one of the states with soaring case counts. but that has put extra precautions in place. paul shows us the situation near los angeles. paul. >> no new numbers out of los angeles county on this july fourth weekend, that is because they are revamping the data collection, they say it will be much improved. they took the step of closing down all beaches in l.a. county, santa barbara county, all of orange county, and all of it to prevent the spread of covid-19. many people feeling, including state officials, that the state reopened too soon in populaced counties and they pointed to bars saying a lot of young people went to the bars.

they were not staying away from each other by six feet and not wearing masks when had they talked loudly they were projecting and that colorado send the virus out airborne. we spoke to people here about what they think possibly could on have happened. >> i do think too quickly perhaps. i'm going to say young people and perhaps the marches and protests and so forth. i think increased the number of covid cases. people were probably not wearing masks. >> there's going to be many more fourth of julys coming up as long as we can protect those that are the elderly and those with underlying conditions that's what we are doing it for. so, if we keep it in mind, we will enjoy the 2021 fourth of july. >> and we need to also point out that there's many other people who think california needs to get the economy back in full gear. the tourism business, for example, needs to get going again here in santa monica. and they are not that concerned about the mask wearing, they want to see the economy hum again. reporting from santa monica,

now, back to you. >> thanks, paul for that. so, spain has ordered its second lockdown in two days after another outbreak of the virus. some 70,000 people along the northwest coast will be locked down for five days. that is after nearly 100 people that visited the local bars there have tested positive. bars are limited to 50% capacity and close early. on saturday, catalonia announced that the lockdown affected 200,000 people. and the pandemic is wreaking travel on air travel. the virus devastated the region, travel bans have forced several major carriers to do file for bankruptcy or others may follow. we will take a look at how it's affecting workers in the industry. >> leslie is folding their uniform the last time. like hundreds on of other workers in the flight industry, she lost her job because of

covid-19. >> translator: it's been my whole life's dream to be a flight attendant and now i have to say goodbye to that dream. not because i didn't do my job, but biecause of coronavirus. >> reporter: the frufuture is frightening for this family who is moving because they can no longer afford their flat. businesses are scaling down as the international monetary fund predicts the hardest economic recession in decades. airlines in particular are taking a hit as people are stopping traveling for work and pleasure. in mexico, three of latin america's major carriers have been filing for bankruptcy since may. normally one of the biggest hubs is all but closed. this vending machine used to sell snacks and it's equipped now the sell face masks. but nobody is here to buy them. you can feel an erie atmosphere

in an airport that is now empty. they are working hard to have increased safety measures for when the flights resume. the air transport association thinks that the air industry will not recover until 2023, so the impact on jobs like hers is devastating. >> both my mother and daughter depend on me. mine was our only salary, we have no other income and we have to pay rent. food, and school fees now. >> reporter: in a statement, once we are allowed to fly again, with limited infrastructure, traveling by air is often the only way of connecting cities and businesses. to avoid further lay-offs some workers are coming up with solutions. the pilot's union said they have proposed a voluntary pay cut across the board. as long as they do not relisa single pilot in the next two

years. >> translator: our proposal is simple, don't fire anyone, we supplement our wages, when you need pilots they are alreadiey r part of the company and trained. >> reporter: they are searching for hope on the horizon. cnn. >> thank you for that. so, unlike many latin american countries, cuba is crushing the coronavirus curve, but before that, they were sending health care workers to countries devastated by the virus. yet the program is not without controversy. as patrick will explain from havana. >> reporter: cuban health care workers are getting ready to fight on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak. they are not fighting it in cuba, the virus is dropping in

the single digits. they are going to where it's out of control or lacking health care resources. this doctor is going on his second international mission. >> translator: we fought ebola in west africa, too, he tells me. that was a high risk situation. you never get used to it. but you become experienceed i feel i'm prepared. cuba has sent doctors and nurses to fight coronavirus in 30 countries. cuban battles have been battling the outbreak in more countries than anyone else. the first country to confront the coronavirus had a standing ovation after leaving the airport and received a hero's welcome when they came home. and they are being cheered on as they drive through the streets of havana. and they are headed to an isolation center where they will spend the next two weeks in quarantine to make sure that

they did not bring the virus back home with them. >> fidel castro started to send medical assistance to earn positive headlines and show support. he named the international medical brigades for henry reeve, a medical cuban. it's the u.s. government, the cold war foe, who is urging other countries to refuse cuba's help. according to the trump administration, these doctors are not heroes, they are victims. >> up to 50,000 doctors have been forced in to human trafficking situations in more than 60 countries around the globe. they are the regime's number one source of income. the u.s. said that the cuban health professionals are not given their full salaries. that the host countries pay the cuban government for their

services. and that they are forced to work in hazardous conditions. accusations of mistreatment rejected by the doctors and nurses we spoke to. >> the majority of medical professionals choose to step forward. we are not forced or obligated to do our work, inside or outside the country. it's part of our preparation. cuba said the brigades are a sign of medical solidarity. and trump's administration said it's a business to keep them in power. as this doctor goes to the airport to combat an outbreak that does not recognize political differences or borders. cnn-havana. >> thanks to patrick for that fantastic piece. so still on come, indian is

sparing no expense when it comes to flattening the coronavirus, we will take you inside what is called the world's largest covid hospital after the break.

. we know a forecast for goldman sachs with the number of cases rising in the u.s., a rebounding economy will take longer to see. and we know cases up in india as well, with the country of most infections in a single day and india's economy is expected to be the worst hit by the virus. let's talk about it. john joins me live. good to see you.

we know it's important for resetting the u.s. economy. does this from goldman sachs bring hit in to doubt? >> it does, it's not an alarming drop, robyn, but after the utter collapse. having the downgrade, when many were hoping for a snap back higher. it was the normal course. it's extraordinary numbers. let's bring them up to the screen. you will never see them again. they were expecting a rise of 33% in the third quarter as the economy started to open up. they are suggesting now, that it will be about 25% and ask a result of that, the overall number for the year, because that quarter is so important, the one that we are in right now, we are looking at a contraction of 4.6% that is 10% worse than what we were expecting at 4.2%. we talked about the unemployment rate that is hovering around --

and the rehiring will be taking place at a faster pace. by the end of the year, it could go down to 9% t original forecast was for 9.5 percent. i have to say, it's quite surprising to me. you see major company canies tr to slim down and if the second wave deepens in the third quarter, the number will be up for grabs and probably will remain in the double digits. goldman sachs is on its own, but has a good track record. >> certainly does, and does at uncertain times. let's look at india, a country that of course, has high poverty rates. how is it all under mining the efforts there? >> well, unfortunately for india, we saw this case load go up to better than 25,000 per day over the weekend. and we just saw the news cross that it's now ranking number

three in the world behind the united states and brazil. it's not something that the government or prime minister wanted to see, and it's the biggest swing from the plus side or g-20 economy in the world. it's less than a month ago. as positive growth rate of 2% going now as you suggest in your lead in, to negative 4-1/2%. by the way, it will be the first recession in the fast growing economy since 1979. and the reason that prime minister will be concerned here, and moody's the chairman of the company, was suggesting as we saw trade drop 1/5 in the second quarter, an alarming number, that they have to flatten the curve. no way according to the ratings industry, that you can grow again and rebuild confidence until the workers feel comfortable enough to go back to their job and as you suggested at the lead-in, with the high

poverty rate, it's difficult to get a handle on a country that has 1.3 billion people. and that's what we are seeing right now. >> okay, john thank you for joining us. >> and as john just mentioned there, we have just learned that india has now surpassed russia in overall coronavirus cases, to be the third most impacted country in the world. only behind the and you say brazil. well, india has been sparing no expense trying to fight this virus. even opening one the world's largest covid field hospitals. it's an incredible undertaking. and we have seen it now from new deli. >> hundreds of columns of bio degradable cardboard beds are set up with a socially safe distance. that is what officials claim is the biggest covid care center in the world. located in india's captaitol, is the size of 22 football fields.

deli has been seeing a rise of cases with the government predicting half a million infections in the next 60 days. preparations are to complete the project of 10,000 beds. >> if the total number of cases positive goes up, there's a large population that will be requiring covid care center and so, it is to address these particular center is going to be of benefit. >> for covering the floors with carpets installing 18,000 tons of air conditioning and preparing 800 washings and 1500 people including volunteers have been working tirelessly to meet the deadline. the facility will then be handed over to paramilitary forces. at a time when the health care system is over burdened already, a hospital of had this m-- of t

magnitude will need a huge workforce of staff and security. >> each will be managed by doctors, nurses and staff and other people n that sense, they need to only look after that particular 110 bed facility. they need not to worry about the whole 10,000. >> when smaller covid facilities are being prepared to care for covid cases. they have converted coaches in to isolation centers. it will help increase their capacity by 8,000 beds. they have been roped in to operate the isolation centers, housing patients with mild symptoms. >> translator: a priority is that the patient gets the right treatment, good facilities and proper food. and doctors should tend to them properly. >> while the deli government

scrambles to ready more covid facilities the chief minister claims the situation at least for now, is under control. but the real test will be in the coming weeks when deli's health care system will be put under enormous strain on the predicted onslaught of cases. cnn new deli. >> still alive, lives interrupted and now the athletes returning to the field of play, is it safe? we will look at the risks they face. to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

it is certainly a struggle for parents to keep their kids entertained with everything closed down, especially if kids are involved in something demanding like elite-level youth sports. so some are a bit relieved but also a bit nervous thatting youth baseball in the u.s. state of georgia where we are here is up and running for traveling teams again. nick valencia now reports. >> one, two, three -- >> reporter: baseball is back. weeks before major league baseball announced plans for this season, youth travel ball is up and running in georgia. >> get onto it! >> reporter: about 30 miles

scouts, the family members and the community. >> reporter: mark o'brien is the president and ceo of lake-point sports. he says he worked with the georgia governor's task force, using 50 different data points to create an in-depth playbook including hundreds of standards for a phased reopening. >> we're taking a crawl, walk, run approach to be very thoughtful and educated on what and how we operate. >> reporter: it includes what he calls common sense measures like not sharing equipment, checking temperatures and fans sitting with their own families. >> we've also, you know, encouraged everyone to practice safe distancing and proper hygiene. and then ask everybody to do their part as well. >> reporter: they're counting on it. posted signage reminds spectators and coaches to wear face masks. but it's clear not everyone does. >> is there any concern about safety? >> i'm not. >> well, you know, still some -- it's so soon. but we're here for support, you

know, our kids. >> reporter: support is one thing. >> jft missed it. >> reporter: and so is the demand for baseball. more than ten teams traveled across state lines to get back in the swing of it. >> got a full slate of events scheduled for this summer. we're sold out in our tournaments. >> reporter: but doing it safely in the age of covid-19 is another. >> i haven't had that sense of danger with them. if i've felt that and our team felt that, i doubt that we'd be here. >> reporter: do you think when we look back on this in a couple weeks from now that there's going to be any regret, that there's going to be any spike in cases? >> it's an everchanging daily process we go through. no matter the sport. safety's our top priority. >> reporter: nick valencia, cnn, amberson, georgia. thanks for watching. i'm robyn curnow here in atlanta. i'll be back with another hour of "cnn newsroom" after the break. so stick around.
