i think the rate you guys are seeing 30% to 40% are testing positive. they're asymptomatic. they're kind of incidental covid positives in the hospital. they would not need to be hospitalized for covid absent the other conditions. >> cnn's nick watt has been tracking which states are experiencing a major jump in these infections. nick, the southern part of the country certainly seeing a surge right now. >> absolutely. the state fair of texas was just canceled for the first time since the second world war. arizona today posting a triple-digit death toll for the first time and here is how granular some places are getting to fight this virus. in miami, outdoor dining is allowed to continue, but music must not be played at a level high enough that would require people to shout. this is still getting worse. and it's unclear when it might start getting better. >> the military is sending

medical personnel to san antonio, texas. >> we are days away from overrunning our hospital system. >> in florida, icus in 43 hospitals are now full. >> especially we need to look at our younger population that we know had a tremendous spike in their positivity rate, which in turn has infected other people. >> florida still won't reveal how many covid-19 patients they have in hospitals, but miami-dade does. and it's up 90% in just two weeks. still, the state just issued an order for schools to reopen next month. >> we can't go on this path of putting our teachers in this petri dish of danger. >> california closed indefinitely after five lawmakers tested positive and three major league baseball teams today delayed the start of

practice due to delays in their test results. test lines are getting longer. two testing companies say huge demand is slowing turnaround time. >> all of this makes it harder to manage this disease. >> quest diagnostics say last month's results were taking two to three days, now it's four to six. quick results are key in effectively isolating the infected. >> the cases are rising so rapidly that we cannot even do contract tracing anymore. >> undiagnosed, silent spreaders might be responsible for around half of all cases, according to one news study. as cases climb nearly half of states now slowing or rolling back reopening. >> we're going to continue to monitor the numbers. if they keep moving up, we're going to dial back if we have to. it's the last thing any of us want. >> 168 days since the first confirmed u.s. case. we are still struggling to control and treat this virus.

>> the public will give our scientists a little bit of time by wearing masks, by social distanceing, you know, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. >> reporter: the government just struck a $1.6 billion contract with novavax to manufacture a vaccine that still is in clinical trials and $450 million to regeneron to manufacture an antibody treatment that might eventually be made available to all for free. now, masks really shouldn't be a political issue, but they are, thanks largely to the president. so, viewed through that lens, a victory today for the pro-mask brigade. a bunch of faculty at georgia tech wrote to the university system of georgia, pleading with them to reverse their no-mask policy. they just did. masks will now be required on campus across that system in the

state of georgia. brianna? >> all right, nick. thank you for that update. we've been following that yesterday as we interviewed a georgia tech faculty member. thank you. i want to bring in now an emergency room physician in boca raton, florida. if you can tell us, doctor, what you are seeing in your e.r. here in recent weeks. >> hey, brianna, thanks for having me. the volume of patients coming into the emergency room has really picked up, especially in the past two weeks. initially, back in march and april, we saw our volumes drop. people were scared of coming to the e.r. so, we really saw a much sicker patient population. people were mainly coming in when they were already very sick with the virus. and what we're seeing now is our volumes have rebounded. we still have our usual volume of traumas, heart attacks, strokes, other emergencies in addition to a much younger

demographic now of covid-19 patients. >> so, are the patients -- they're changing in that you say some of them or many of them are, i guess, in better health condition than they were before you had sicker patients. are they younger, the ones you're seeing? >> many of them are, yes. so, since the reopening, which was mid may down here in south florida, we're increasingly seeing a younger demographic of patients. just to give you some idea, the state of florida took about three months to hit 100,000 cases and only two weeks to double that number. so in the past two weeks or so, we've seen a new 100,000 cases in the state of florida and, unfortunately, about half of those new cases are patients under the age of 35. >> i want to ask you about something we heard from the governor in his press briefing,

which he just had. he said in the jackson health system, they had folks coming in for unrelated, right, not covid-related causes, maybe it's car accidents or it's heart conditions, and that they were testing. and these are folks he said were asymptomatic. they were testing 30% to 40% of them positive for coronavirus. have you been able to determine anything like that at your hospital? are you seeing a high number of asymptomatic people coming in for other conditions? >> we are, and i don't have specific data for my hospitals on that. although i have friends and colleagues that work at jackson and so i'm familiar with that. the hard thing for emergency doctors is that we have to treat every single patient like they have it, because you really don't know. people will come in with abdominal pain and have covid. tons of trauma patients are coming in, and they end up having the disease.

so, we really have to treat every patient as if they're infected, and that means wearing, you know, a respirator, goggles, a gown and doing strict ppe for every single patient. >> dr. busko, thank you. you call yourself dr. buzz kill on social media. you tweet a lot about increasing cases and giving us the lowdown but we appreciate you telling us about the picture there in florida. >> thank you. >> two major u.s. lab companies now say it's taking a lot longer to get back test results. in fact, double the time that it took just last month. and the reason is this surge in demand. these are images of testing lines in the miami area. florida, of course, is now seeing one of the biggest spikes in cases. cnn senior investigative correspondent drew griffin is following what labs are facing and, drew, you're hearing from lab corp, you're hearing from quest, the big two.

how severe is this for them? >> well, it's not as bad as it was in the beginning of this crisis, where some were waiting ten days for turnaround times but it is creeping up and that is bad, brianna. quest basically doubling its turnaround times, now four to six days and lab corp is two to four days. just to get those test results back. that is double for both of them what it was last month. the clinical laboratories association says you can expect this demand for testing exceeding the commercial lab's ability to test them only increasing in the coming months. this is all bad news in terms of trying to contain what is a very big surge and, keep in mind, when you're seeing those lines in florida, brianna, many people in florida are telling us they are having to wait upwards of a week just to get a test. so, these test results are added on to the week that you're already waiting to get a test. you're talking about ten days

before determining if you have covid and i think any health professional will tell you that is just not acceptable if you're trying to contain this virus. brianna? >> drew, thank you for that. drew griffin. suddenly announcing a policy that could lead to the deportation of international college students if their classes are all online. i'll be asking homeland security official ken cuccinelli about that. brazil's president, who has continued to hold rallyies to last a few more. ♪ come on in, we're open. ♪ all we do is hand you the bag. simple. done. we adapt and we change. you know, you just figure it out.

there is a disturbing development on how coronavirus is transmitted. a new study showing that silent spreaders could be responsible for half of coronavirus cases. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is here. this is something we've always focused on. how many people are out there, spreading this without knowing. tell us what it means, this half number. >> right, brianna. when you look at this study from yale, it really does speak sort of very closely to this issue. let's take a look at these numbers. what they found is that between 47 to 48% of spread is done by people who are presymptomatic. in other words, they will feel si sick, but they have not yet felt sick. this is something that is sort of unusual to covid. usually people aren't all that contagious before they're actively ill. with covid, they are, which is one of the things that makes this virus so hard to bring under control. as far as asymptomatic patients, 3.4 to 6.6% of the spread of

covid is from people who don't have any symptoms at all. this 47 to 48% number, brianna, when history is written, that is the line of why this has been so tough. it took, at least in the united states, quite a while to accept that that much transmission could be done before people are actively ill. doctors were sort of in disbelief because it's so unlike other viruses. >> it's awful to hear an outline like that. there's a new study out of spain. it indicates that covid antibodies can disappear after a few weeks. this is not good news. tell us what factors they looked at. >> right. that's not good news at all. it's a large study. 61,000 people published in a medical journal. what they found is that even just in weeks, some people would lose their immunity. it wasn't necessarily everyone but a substantial enough group

that it was worrisome. this tells us you might have had covid and think i'm okay, i have antibodies. i won't get it again. not true. if enough time passes you may lose your immunity. this is something that i'm sure vaccine researchers will take into account. they're basically giving you immunity with the vaccine. how long will that immunity last? these trials that are coming up, brianna, will last two years and they'll continue to watch people to see what happens to their immunity. >> elizabeth, thank you for breaking that down for us. president trump is falsely claiming the u.s. has the lowest coronavirus mortality rate in the world and his administration is now threatening to deport international students if university classes go online. the acting deputy secretary of homeland security, ken cuc cuccinelli joins me next. woman: my reputation was trashed online.

more than a million international students could be at risk of being deported after a move by the trump administration. custom enforcement says international students pursuing degrees in the u.s. must take in-person classes. this, as many universities are finalizing plans on when and how to safely return to classrooms during the pandemic. the president of harvard university says he's concerned,

warning that this, quote, undermines the thoughtful approach taken on behalf of students by so many institutions, including harvard, to plan for continuing academic programs while balancing the health and safety challenges of the global pandemic. joining me now is ken cuccinelli, acting deputy secretary of homeland security and served on the coronavirus task force in early days of the pandemic. thanks for joining us. >> sure. >> help us understand what the goal is here. >> the current rules, regulations that govern foreign students allow, at most, one online class. and so we're expanding the flexibility massively to a level never done before so that schools can use hybrid models and can design reopenings. anything short of 100% online is a direction we're headed. we have to finish the temporary

regulation, but this is more flexibility that we're looking at than has ever been provided before. >> well, as i'm sure you're aware, the current regulations have not -- as regulations for all kinds of things did not envision a global pandemic, and i hear you talking about flexibility, but you're aware of the huge upheaval this is going to create. so, why are you okay with that huge upheaval, both economically and that we're going to be seeing to all these institutions? >> actually, the direction that has been charted here and remains to be completely finalized, but again provides massive flexibility, gives the opportunity to do anything short of 100% online classes. and 100% online classes one can do from home, as happened last semester. and when the covid really hit in the middle of last semester, the

spring semester. i.c.e. provided a massive flexibility at that stage on a level of prosecutorial discretion to allow for that sudden change in the middle of a semester. this is now setting the rules for one semester, which we'll finalize later this month that will, again, encourage schools to reopen, recognizing some of them are moving their start dates up, some of them are going to hybrid models, some online, some in person, and we're trying to accommodate many of those as we can, while maintaining the protections for fraud and so forth that are necessary in any sort of international visa program. >> so you're basically forcing universities to reopen even if they have personally determined that they shouldn't be doing that for public health reasons? >> we're not forcing universities to reopen. however, if a university -- let's just take your version of it. if they don't reopen this semester, there isn't a reason for a person holding a student

visa to be present in the country. they should go home. then they can return when the school opens. that's what student visas are for, and we want to accommodate that for schools, and we're working hard to do that. >> so, there isn't a reason, you say, for them to be in the country. so $41 billion in revenue created by them, that's not a reason? >> well, the revenue in your example doesn't happen, because the school doesn't hold classes. so, you can't have it both was,s brianna. if the school is going to function, again, short of entire ly online, which people can do from anywhere in the world and do do from anywhere in the world. >> what do you mean that doesn't happen? they would still be holding classes and getting tuition, right? they would still be in the country. >> no, that's not what you just said. >> no, i'm saying -- >> that's not the scenario you described. >> maybe we misunderstood each other here.

>> sure. >> 1 million international students per year create -- being in the u.s., not being back in south africa or china or saudi arabia or japan, are responsible for creating $41 billion as part of the gdp. they support 458,000 jobs. >> and they come in as students. that's how they do that. if they're not going to be a student or if they're going to be 100% online, then they don't have a basis to be here. so we appreciate the money they bring. of course, the universities certainly do, if i remember my statistics, over a quarter of some schools' budgets comes this way. which is why we're providing and looking at providing so much flexibility to allow those openings to happen in a variety of ways. but that doesn't mean there aren't still basic protections that are required. i don't, frankly, follow why a

student visa holder would be here if their school isn't functioning. >> what protections? >> well, fraud. immigration officers effectively at these schools and universities who we are partnering with to execute on this massive flexibility semester. >> they're still going to school, sir, just not in person. >> right. >> they're still students. you can verify that. i don't understand how -- >> and they can do that from their home country. if it's 100% online. >> but you know that's not true, sir. >> i know you're going. you know it's not true that a million of them are going to go online. yes, yes, yes. most schools are going to a hybrid model. i've paid attention to this. i know you haven't. but we've been communicating with the schools, and most of them are going to a hybrid model, some online, some in-person. >> many of them are not.

>> and in the current situation -- >> many of them are going online. >> i'm aware there are some that are not. >> 400,000 of the 1 million students are from nations like china, saudi arabia. they're not going home, where they can't even get google and be able to perform as students at a university. i mean they just won't have access to the resources and you know that. so, it sounds like you're okay with the economic hit that that's going to take to the country. i guess my question then is, if we're looking at a potentially big economic hit, as you're pressuring universities to reopen in some form or fashion, is this an effort, then, just to boot out some foreigners who are here legally? >> that's just silly. if a school isn't going to open or if they're going to be 100% online, then we wouldn't expect people to be here for that. you know, i don't see why the most flexibility that we've ever

envisioned in history would be a negative in that circumstance. that's a school's decision. we're trying to create circumstances that allow schools more options than they've ever had in the past. that's what's going on right now. >> as long as they reopen in some form or fashion in a hybrid way? >> that's correct. >> okay. so i want to talk about coronavirus. as i mentioned, you were on the task force early on. you sit in on a substitute basis when the secretary is unable to. so, you're certainly aware, of course, of what's going on there. you're very involved in what the department of homeland security is doing when it comes to coronavirus. the president is saying that all schools must reopen. do you agree? >> the federal government can't order schools to do a, b or c. certainly, the president is seeking the maximum reopening we can get not just of schools, but of the economy, consistent with

maintain i maintaining pressure on the virus, the need to balance all aspects of our lives, whether it be economic, and so forth. >> you're aware of where the numbers are headed in this country on coronavirus? >> i'm very aware. we don't have a one-size-fits-all arrangement. we've zeroed in on about 130 counties in the country where the spikes are significant and if you look back in january, february timeframe, march, we were dealing state by state. we've gotten a lot more particular. governors have gotten a lot more particular about how we address the needs and how we focus our resources to the points of highest need. and we've continued to do that as we've continued to up testing and do those other things you've heard the president talk about. >> you said there's no one size

fits all, why is the president prescribing a one size fits all for schools? >> well, this isn't one size. you mean a hybrid by definition is not. >> have you seen his tweet, sir? have you seen his tweet? it's exactly a one size fits all. >> no. >> i would say he's your boss. seeing his tweets is -- >> i don >> tweets are an expression of his opinion. >> he's calling for -- >> so many characters at a time. >> he's calling for a one size fits all. i think he even spared himself some characters in this tweet. he was calling for all schools to open and you know that. >> he would like all schools to open. that doesn't mean -- that's up to the schools. with a hybrid model, that's not one size fits all. some schools will do all, some will do less. >> no, i was quoting you. >> i was right in that case.

>> why is the president saying that the united states has the lowest mortality rate for coronavirus when it does not? >> well, the data i last saw, and it doesn't have every single country in the world, but the ones we've been tracking for the longest like italy, united kingdom. we just dropped below germany's fatality rate. we're below any of the countries i'm familiar with that are doing significant testing. to our south in the u.s. hemisphere where the spike is worldwide among the hottest, there is some of the lowest testing levels going on. it's hard to discern what the fatality rate is down there. it's obviously department of homeland security, that's a big deal to us. >> sure. you're aware, then, that out of the 20 worst affected countries, the countries that are doing the worst, that 13 have lower death rates than the united states?

they're all right here. iraq, columbia, chile. >> i'm not quite sure how you -- >> iraq, colombia, peru, chile, argentina, russia, saudi arabia, brazil, bolivia, india, pakistan, south africa and bangladesh. >> and we're testing at a higher rate than any other country in the world. >> but these are death rates. >> just below positive. >> these are death rates. >> i understand. >> not positive rates, death rates. >> we've driven death rates down and down and down with higher testing rates, partly because we know of more who has it, including without symptoms, as i heard you all speaking about earlier, and as well we've learned better treatments. and as we continue to learn that, and america really is a leader in developing those and promulgating them around the world, we continue to get better. so, you know, we are certainly the biggest country doing as well as we are in terms of

driving the rate down. if you look at how much improvement we've seen even with the highest testing, and you look at the oldest age group, which has stayed flat. and they're our most vulnerable folks statistically. where you see the spike, and i know you all report on it as well with younger people, where we're seeing numbers go up among younger folks and in specific counties around the country. that's where we're focusing our resources. we'll continue to fight this battle. there will be plenty of other countries where the numbers will come and go of various degrees of reliability in their reporting. i think of those, we're among the most transparent in the whole world, by far. and, you know, so we have data we can talk about. and we continue to work to push that rate down, not just the death rate, but also to partner with governors in addressing the

hot spots. and fema, dhs continues to be deeply involved, as is cwmd and frankly some agencies that a lot of people hadn't heard of until covid, tsa, cvp. we're suffering from the same thing that our society does. we see spikes in our employees, but they're also geographically in the same areas where you see the communities spiking. so, we're taking additional precautions there ourselves, just like the governors and the federal government by the president is doing in those particular targeted areas. >> i want to ask you, you are a member of this administration. you are also a virginian. you're joining us from virginia right now. the president recently taking aim at the only black driver in nascar, and he was supporting the -- he was in opposition to the confederate flag ban by nascar. the white house has refused to denounce the confederate flag.

do you? >> so, the white house said they were taking a neutral position. the president was not taking a position on that, and that's what the white house reiterated. i support them in that. nascar has to make their own decisions, but the president came back and said, or the white house said he was not pushing them one way or the other. it's not my place to do that. and i think you see a lot of state-level debates, including in my state, mississippi, and all over the country. that's where those debates belong. the federal government shouldn't be imposing outcomes in any direction on these otherwise local decisions. >> how is it a local decision when the confederate flag is a symbol of people who wanted to destroy the united states and who were in support of slavery

in that effort? and -- i mean, i wonder how you can say that, and how you can say that the president taking a neutral position, opposing nascar's decision to ban the confederate flag, which he did, is not a neutral position. that's just -- that doesn't make any sense. >> well, what i can tell you is whatever your interpretation, the white house came out and explicitly addressed whether he was weighing in to push them one way or the other, and the answer was no, that he was neutral on that. >> all right. i want to listen to something the president said in 2015. >> republican presidential candidate whether or not you think the confederate flag should be flying above the state house in south carolina. do you think it needs to go? >> i think it probably does and i think they should put it in the museum. let it go. respect whatever it is that you have to respect because it was a

point in time, put it in a museum, but i would take it down, yes. >> i would take it down, yes. how do you square that? >> well, he was asked about south carolina. let's jump over to a state that's actually addressing this question in mississippi. they're doing it the way they ought to be doing it. their state has used the st. andrews cross, the confederate battle flag on their state flag, and they're addressing in their legislature with their governor inside their state what they ought to do going forward there. and you heard what the president said in 2015 about south carolina, but he wasn't saying i'm going to do that as president. that is a decision that has to be made within those states. at least one of those states is addressing that actively now as we speak. >> it sounded like he was speaking about it generally, and then what you have him doing more recently is criticizing

nascar's decision to ban the confederate flag and confederate flag imagery. you're saying that the administration position is to be neutral on this. look where that dial is moving. so he's actually moving to be in more support of the confederate flag. what is the point of doing that, other than political opportunism in his eyes? >> no. he was asked in 2015 essentially if you were here in south carolina, do you think this should be addressed? >> i didn't hear essentially. >> you heard what you wanted to hear. >> i heard words that i'm following. >> you're taking liberties with it. he hasn't changed any position that i'm aware of in terms of this. and, basically, as i view it, he hasn't taken a position about what the federal government should do about whether it's nascar, south carolina, or any other states' display or use of

the confederate flag. and i think he has been pretty consistent in keeping the federal government out of those questions. >> this is about the federal government. this strikes at the very heart of the federal government. that's the whole point of the confederate flag. >> no, it does not. >> as a virginian, you know that. >> no, it does not. the confederate flag -- >> explain that. >> -- is a piece of history. well, it's not a flag anymore. it's a piece of history from the 1861 to '65. people display it. they use it. it means different things to different people. it is not part of anything that the federal government does with the -- you do see it in some state flags. that's why you see those debates arising and being handled in legislatures, which is what part of legislatures are for, to debate those questions and address them within that state. and i think that that's a

healthy thing. i think the president thinks that's a healthy thing, but he isn't going to start trying to order people what to do in one place or another. >> i'm not talking about ordering. >> as a president of the federal government. >> i'm not talking about him ordering anything, just taking a position as to whether he personally agrees with it. and he can't. >> well, you're asking me to -- i'm a lawyer -- to commit hearsay. you want me to tell me his personal position. >> i asked you what you thought and you also would not commit. >> let me finish. let me finish. he gave a personal position in the answer to the 2015 question that you played. i'm not aware of him addressing his personal view other than that anywhere else. i'll let his answer stand. it's not for me to, you know, say anything else about his personal views. >> what about yours? >> you played the only version

of it that i've heard. i work for an administration right now that has kept the federal government out of these questions and respected the states' ability and the position to address these questions and people who know my history know i respect the state's role vis-a-vis the federal government. >> i know your position on birtherism, which is why i'm particularly curious about your position on the confederate flag. >> you can have all the curiosity you like. my position is that states and local governments where this is an issue ought to address it inside their policy at their level. this is not for the federal government to tell others how to deal with that issue in their state or in their city. >> all right. sir, thank you for joining us. ken cuccinelli, we really

appreciate it. >> my pleasure. we have some breaking news today in brazil where the president just revealed he has coronavirus. after months of downplaying the virus in one of the world's hardest-hit countries. plus one of the first celebrities to publicly reveal that they had covid after tom hanks is speaking out now about wearing a mask.
