justice has been a conservative but voted with the liberals in major, major cases. that's the problem for the president and he needs some more retirement from the court in order to get the majority really wants. today was the final day of decisions from the term in the high court. >> thanks for making us all smarter in the pros res. it's a big day d.appreciate it. thanks to everyone who helped us at the supreme court. thank you very much. see you back here tomorrow morning. kate balduan continues our coverage right now. >> hello, everyone. i'm kate balduan. thanks so much for joining me. breaking news from the supreme court. major decisions having to do with president trump's financial records, records that the president has refused to show to

the public for years. in a 7-2 decisions the court has for now blocked congress and new york prosecutors from accessing the president's financial documents. the justices sending both cases back to lower courts for further review, but justices made one thing clear, that the president is not completely immune from facing a speena. >> the justices in the majority rejecting this claim from the president's attorneys that donald trump is completely immune from all aspects of criminal prosecution while in office. let's get to cnn's jessica schneider live outside the supreme court and has been diving through these decisions. jessica, lay it out for us. >> reporter: the supreme court really laying out the bottom line here in that the president for one is not absolutely immune from these criminal subpoenas while in office. that is rebutting what his lawyers argued vociferously in may saying the president is

absolute i my immune. the supreme court saying no he has not. in the other case the supreme court also saying that congress does have a right to have access to the president's financial records and documents. in both cases there's limits and heightened standards and while the supreme court is saying it can be done it, likely will not be done any time before the election in less than four months. remember, there were two cases here. one involving the new york district attorney cy vance speaking eight years of the president's personal business and tax returns in the hush money payments when she alleged an affair with donald trump. the second case involving three house committees led by democrats wanting a broad array for multiple legislative inquiries as well as ethics investigations as well. let me read you what the chief justice who authored both opinions here, what he said

about that new york case and whether or not prosecutors can subpoena the president, the chief justice writing for the court in the 2-2 decision. we hold that the president is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas seeking his private papers nor entitled to a heightened standard of need. however, the opinion went on that the president isn't without recourse and that's exactly why this court is sending it down to the lower court in new york to consider. as for the house case, and this is really interesting because it talks about the political implications here. chief justice roberts writing in part saying but burdens imposed by congressional subpoena should be carefully scrutinized for they stem from a rival political branch that has an ongoing relationship with the president and incentives to use subpoenas for institutional advantages, so really laying out there that, of course, with congress, the house controlled by democrats, they have political reasons for maybe going after the president that

need to be youthnized by the lower court. kate, the supreme court today laying out really a four-part road map for lower courts when it comes to these congressional committees what the lower court should consider in determination whether or not these committees might actually get these tax documents, again, not tax returns in the house case, only in the new york prosecution case, so sort of a mixed bag here, kate. the president has lashed out at this decision on twitter saying that it's not fair, that this is a political prosecution, but in the end his tax returns, his tax documents, financial documents, they will likely remain hidden from view well into the election hand likely beyond as they continue to fight this out at the lower courts. kate. >> jessica, thanks so much. a lot to go through. joining me now is cnn legal

analyst and joan biskupic and kaitlan collins. >> reporter: he said i'm pleased that the supreme court has blocked both new york and democratic committees the access to the president trump's perm records. they will continue to fight this is basically what jay sekulow is saying in that statement. we should note that this is a practical -- as jeffrey was saying, this is a practical win for president because it's up likely that anyone is going to see his tax returns before the november election, but the president is facing a ruling from his own two justices that he put on that court, ruling against him about whether or not he can shield his tax returns

and is immune from any kind of prosecution while he's in office. the president himself in his tweets today, kate, as we should note has not specifically comment on neil gorsuch or brett kavanaugh but a he's basically framing it as this. why aim being targeted instead of democrats or his political opponents? real something he's said throughout his entire time in office, but, kate, it's a notable ruling coming out today and the question is does the president eventually weigh in on their own two justices and how they ruled. >> yeah. kaitlan, stick with me. elie, what are your two big takeaways. >> big picture. these cases are stinging legal rebuicks to the president. the supreme court said no, you're not above the how because you're president and you're not absolutely immune from criminal prosecution and you're not necessarily immune from congressional oversight. that said, as a practical matter, if the president's goal

here is to run out the clock and drag his feet and having to put off for the president to punt off. he is going to win because it will be short-sight. the manhattan case will win in the lower court. i'm confident cy vance and the d.a. will get those records and the big picture is really the most important. the supreme court took a stand against presidential authority and presidential immunity. >> joan, what do you make of the kaitlan was touching on it, the breakdown of where the justices landed with these decisions. you have are the president's nominees gorsuch and kavanaugh siding -- deciding, you know, with the majority here. >> yes, i think what that shows is chief justice roberts tried to figure out what can we agree on? where can i get as many justices as possible? the result is it leaves a lot

uncertain as jessica said, a mixed bag, not a very satisfactory ending for people who wanted to see those documents immediately, what chief justice john roberts did was figure out a way that he could get someone hike ruth bader ginsburg who has publicly complained about the fact that donald trump has not released his taxes get rbg and neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh to join something, and i think that that's quite a significant feat because he said what can we agree on. number one, the president can't have any kind of criminal immunity from any proceeding which was an extreme position that the trump lawyers were assert. we should recognize that -- >> joan, i'm going to have to jump in. house speaker nancy pelosi is reacting to this right now. >> we'll continue to go down that path. the decision enabled -- to enable the trump administration's -- i don't

know -- i don't know what they are even saying about it. i hear he's tweeting one thing and people are saying another, but whatever it is it's not good news for the president of the united states. it is a path that we -- we will take. so i put out a starnlgts i dotet see it here. do we? it's not here. so -- anyway, you don't need me to give you a piece of paper to have what this statement is. but it took me a little longer to get out here because i wanted to read to the bottom, the end of the decision and the chief justice specifically speaks to the fact that the president is not above the law, and that was

proclaimed. the supreme court's ruling related to his financial records is not good for president trump. the court has reaffirmed congress' authority to conduct oversight on behalf of the american people as it is asks for further information from congress. congress' constitutional responsibility to uncover the truth, fess physically related to the president's russia connection that he is hiding. the congress will continue to conduct oversight for the people upholding the separation of powers that is the genius of our constitution. we will continue to press our case in the lower court. that's what happened this morning. earlier this morning for the 16th week in a row over 1 million americans applied for unemployment insurance, 16th week in a row. we have to open up our economy.

we can only do so by killing off the virus. that's what's in the heroes act. testing, tracing, treatment, separation, masking, wash your hands, keep your distance, as i said. that is what is in the heroes act. all of the scientific pronouncements have spoken for the need -- >> you're listening to house speaker nancy pelosi getting the first reaction to the supreme court decision right here. let me bring back in joan biskupic and elie honig. you now heard from jay sekulow, the president's attorney, saying he's pleased with what he heard. >> you're hearing from speaker pelosi saying this is not good news for president trump saying that this is reaffirming congress' authority to conduct

oversight. both sides are getting something from this. that's why joan and jessica are saying that this is something of a mixed bag, but when it comes to the house democrats' case there's more to it than what speaker pelosi is saying, that this reaffirms the congress' authority to get the records right now. >> if people are hoping to see donald trump's tax returns tonight, tomorrow or before november that's not going to happen. big picture though. what happened here was the supreme court rejected donald trump's claim that he's above the law. now, when it comes to the congress issue -- >> if it rejects donald trump's claim that he's above the law or above oversight. >> sure. >> why then for anyone who is out there listening, why -- why then do democrats still need to be make their case in a lower court? >> so, when donald trump first got the subpoena from the manhattan d.a. he said i'm president. can't subpoena me. that's the issue that went to the supreme court today. the supreme court said no way. you're not above a subpoena, but

any normal person who gets a subpoena in any normal criminal case has the right to fight that subpoena. now you almost never win. it's almost impossible to defeat a subpoena from a prosecutor as i once was. i fought some battles, very easy to win those as a prosecutor but supreme court said you don't get special treatment because you're president but like any other person you can go back down into the district court, the trial court to try to fight subpoena. practical effect that have is that it allows the president to drag his feet and run out the clock and to go through those motions. i think he'll lose but it will get him out past november. >> joan, give me your take. >> yeah. i think the house situation is equally uncertain because even though the majority affirmed the power of the house to go for documents as part of its investigative and legislative purposes, it said here are several demands that must be met which is, again, why both side

can claim a little bit of victory here and why spun like ruth bader ginsburg and breath cavanagh can sign it. the supreme court reinforced the fact that congress has a lot of power to investigate and issue subpoenas as happened here but that they need to then justify them on several grounds that were not justified here and lower courts according to the majority did not assess. >> one quick question looking back at what the -- what the tweets that the president has put out, and in part of it he is attacking the supreme court saying that now the supreme court gives a delayed ruling that they would never have given for another president. just as someone -- you follow the justices it and know them better than most. does that impact them? it. >> reporter: oh, no. first of all, he's lucky in this ruling in some ways. remember, when the supreme court ruled richard nixon and bill clinton they had to turn over materials and give testimony right away. this is -- so, you know, the

supreme court has given donald trump a little bit of a break of time here for starters, but in terms of president trump's attempt to shame the justices or to complain, you know, been there, done that. they have heard it all from him overly -- over all of his years. we know what chief justice john roberts had to say in 2018 about that. stop referring to people about obama judges or trump judges. they are aware of the fact that anything that they do is going to be attacked by this president, and i think what they are trying to do is balance what the rights of both parties are here. you know, there's two separate interests in the house case and in the president's case and they want to have enough regard for the presidency and the house mission and at the same time protect their own institutional integrity. the last thing john roberts wants is to look like either a tool of donald trump or that he's just putting his finger in

the eye of donald trump. >> elie, thank you for your analysis and perspective on this today. huge, huge day. another huge final day at the supreme court for the term. coming up for us, we are months into the coronavirus pandemic and it feels as though we're back where we started. cases rising, hospitals hitting capacity and overwhelmed, not enough tests. not enough ppe? what went wrong? plus, the first division i college conference cancels all sports until january. will other conferences follow suit? talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

there are now more than 3 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the united states. the country is seeing a million

more confirmed infections in less than one month. that's how fast this has jumped this past month. right now 33 states are going in the wrong direction. reporting a rise in new cases. only three states seeing a decline. the hardest hit states like florida and texas and arizona are seeing a troubling jump in positivity rates as well and the number of people needing to go to the hospital with covid for care. that data is prompting the nation's top infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauche toe issue this warning. >> i think any state that is having a serious problem, that state should seriously look at shutting down. it's not for me to say because each state is different. >> and this morning cdc will not revise its guidelines for safely reopening schools. you're not alone if that is confusing since just yesterday the vice president announced that is exactly what was coming,

revised guidance from the cdc. after the president trashed the original guidance on twitter as being too tough, expensive and impractical. cnn's nick valencia is following all of this back and forth, full. nick, what's going on here? >> reporter: we've been following this since the very beginning of the pandemic, and what's been to clear to us since that time is that the cdc has been caught up in the politics of washington. we want to remind viewers that this has been the gold standard of public health. it has been looked to as the model around the world and now they are having to walk a very fine line and here's what dr. redfield had to say about revising guidance to safely return children back to school. >> our guidelines are our guidelines but we'll provide additional reference documents to aid basically communities that are trying to reopen k-12. not a revision of the guidelines. it's just to provide additional

information to help schools be able to use the guidance that we've put forward. >> and here's what we know -- early last week i should say there's an interim presentation but senior leader at the cdc about the science behind safely and responsibly going to enjoy higher education. they elevated that over the weekend. i'm told from directors at the cd to dr. redfield to bring that forward to the task force. it was after the roundtable and briefing by the white house task force, comments by vice president pence and president trump saying they felt demoralized, target of print aid tax on twitter and they feel very demoralized and it's going to be a challenge for them in the coming weeks and months as this virus surges seemingly out of control in the united states how they are going to walk this very political line between the white house and public health. you know, i should end is here by saying that they have had

trouble getting president trump to understand the nuance behind the science. hasn't made this a prior during which he doesn't see that and with the difficulty of trying to get the white house to listen still very much so remains at the cdc. >> speaking just to that, the fact that the president continues to hammer it's more testing that it's leading to more numbers of cases which we're going to get to that. thank you, nick. really appreciate it. let me bring in dr. william schaffner, director of infectious diseases. very good to see you. i want to ask you about the warning -- the new warnings we're hearing from dr. fauci saying that now some states should shut down again with the cases that they are seeing and dr birx saying something similar that some states should go back to phase one once again. how did the united states get to this point of needing to go back

to the beginning? what went wrong? >> well, kate, good to be with you, and the virus is out there, as you have said. it is spreading widely and it's as though our shutdown real didn't happen. what went wrong is that perhaps we should down not long enough. that's number one, but then the population was not educated that once we opened up we really had to open up carefully. it was really going to be a new normal, masks were going tonight norm. six foot distancing, avoiding large groups, including religious services, and any gathering more than ten people. the people didn't really realize that. so they open up in a carefree fashion rather than a careful fashion. and then the other thing we didn't do is follow up with the manufacture of personal protective equipment. even here where we're doing okay

at the moment, although our cases are increasing, we are nervous about the supply chain of our personal protective equipment. we haven't assured that within the united states we have enough manufacturing capacity to fulfill our needs. >> it's very frustrating and -- and i'm sure demoralizing for everyone to hear that still after what we saw the mountain that we -- that people overcame when it came to personal protective equipment that it's now again still a problem in terms of supply, and doctor, since the president continues to not understand the science as it is being explained to him or refuses to take in the new information, can you again explain how testing more is not the problem. how the logic that if you don't test you don't have a problem is so dangerous? >> well, just focusing on the numbers and thinking that if we

don't test the numbers will stay low and, therefore, that's the reality. well, of course not. if you don't count cases of lung cancer, that doesn't mean lung cancer doesn't exist, so what we need to do is test more so that we can find more people who are really infected out there and bring them to medical care and actually follow up on all their contacts, so testing allows us to know where this virus is and how intensely it's affecting our population, and as we're seeing it's out there spreading literally like wildfire. >> in the quest to find what can be done now, i want to play a moment us a kind of laid out where we went wrong. i want to play a moment when the president was going against science once again earlier in this pandemic. let me play this. the. >> i think the governors have to start opening up.

we now know the disease. we know the weaknesses and the strength. i think a lot of these states, the ones that are sort of sticking to a certain very rigid pattern, i think they are going to stop. i don't think the people are going to stand for it. >> that with a was in may just before memorial day, the demarkation point when states were really starting to open up and now when we see where the country opened up. in looking what went wrong and trying to learn how to fix, it how critical do you think that moment and that kind of commentary from the president constantly of we've got to open up, even though the states were not showing the data that they should be opening up. how critical do you think that is proving? >> obviously it's very critical, kate, because ified hung tight for a bit longer, we could have made sure that the virus' transmission was really reduced, and it would have given us more

time to educated people such that we could open carefully rather than carelessly, and so that was a lost moment but what we really need is a national program. we have a craze i quilt at the moment. all those 50 governors, each trying to do their own thing. higher differ a little bit with dr. 4-h, but if he's trying to walk a fine line, so let me see it. we need a national program so folks in new mexico and maine and tennessee we're all doing the same thing. the countries that have been successful have had nationwide programs clearly and communicated in a very sustained way. i don't think we're going to see that, and so i find this very, very sobering and this from an optimist. >> and you are. you are, as -- as -- i'm always talking to you about something

generally dire and generally scary and you are real an optimist. and crazy quilt is maybe a perfect way of describing the strategies that we're seeing all the way across the country. speaking of the crazy quilt and another aspect on it on schools reoerng opening -- reopening saying the cdc would have revised guidance but now they are not going to. what does this say about safely reopening schools because it is confusing. >> it is confusing and let's look at the cdc guidelines and i'm so glad that we're stiffening up at the cdc and pushing back against the political interference. it's very important. the cdc's guidelines are really quite elaborate and drmt redfield says we're also going to receive more material that

will help us interpret the guidelines and address what our specific local issues are. we need to open the schools but we need to do them carefully. let's look at the guidelines and do our best to apply them locally all across the country. it will require some change. >> it will require change, absolutely. it will require change and flexibility and it will require likely more funding, and that's one aspect of it that we'll continue to be discussed. dr. schaffner, thank you very much. coming up for us, the ivy league was the first college conference to cancel their basketball tournaments back in march. now they are the first to cancel sports this fall. all sports this fall. what does this mean for the rest of college sports? we have more towers, more engineers, and more coverage than ever before. this is not just a bigger network

the first division one college sports contest announcing all sports are on all hold until at least january. the ivy league making that

decision official yesterday saying we have a responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interest of the students who attend our institutions as well as the faculty and staff who work at our schools. these decisions are extremely difficult when they impact meaningful athlete experiences that so many value and cherish. joining me right now is the vivy league executive director robin harris. robin, thank you for being here. the no was the deciding factor? >> so you're presidents have been working tirelessly this spring implementing policies and procedures for the campuseses at large for the fall, and over the past two weeks we've had eight ivy league campuses announce their policies for the fall semester for all students and for faculty and staff and as we evaluated these policies which have components and they do vary from campus to campus it game year that athletics competition

was not going to be feasible in the small semester due to various travel we are being put in place for faculty staff and students, limits on visitors to campuses and the limits on size of social gatherings, the social distancing and also a number of our campuses have limited the number of students that can be enrolled and in residents during the fall semester, and so it just made it where we couldn't have, unfortunately, we could not have the athletic competition. >> what have the responses been like from coaches and add let's? it. >> you know, tremendous disappointment. of course, they cherish their athletic experiences and opportunities, and i think also a lot of understanding frankly. individuals in the ivy league understand that we treat our student athletes like students

because they are students. we operate athletics consistent with our campus policies and there's an understanding that these policies that are being put in place to protect the health and well-being of the campus community at large and our society also should apply to our athletics community, so while we're all disappointed and disheartened we know it's the right decision for it the ivy league. >> do you think other conferences will follow suit? they did after your decision in the spring when you were the first conference to decide back in march to -- to stop, you know, basketball tournaments. >> yeah. i -- i don't think that we will be the last conference to make this decision. i don't expect that it will happen as rapidly as what occurred in march where we went from the ivy league announcing our decision and then within 48 hours basically all of sports were shut down and i don't

anticipate that sort of groundswell but i don't think well be the last conference. each conference and each institution will have to evaluate their own circumstances and make their own decisions. >> about football season i've heard some talk and maybe it's just wishful thinking but a football spring season. how seriously are you considering that? >> so our president has decided so far only that we cannot have competition in the fall, they have not decided at this point on winter competition or spring competition and they also have in the decided whether we can move fall sports to the spring and that would include football. our athletic directors have been work tirelessly throughout the spring as well considering various options, first through the fall and also looking at as

some of those options are looking at what would the spring look like if we were to have fall sports in the spring but nothing has been decided at this point. it's way too premature. clearly the situation with the virus has to change and our campus policies have to adjust. >> it's premature to even talk about what we're doing in three weeks at this point, so i absolutely understand that, director. >> that's right. >> i mean, seriously. thank you very much for coming in. appreciate your time. >> i appreciate your attention to this. thank you. >> coming up for us, texas reports its highest number of deaths in one day since the pandemic began. we're going to talk to the doctor on the front lines about what he thinks the state needs to be doing to save lives. 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. we've just been finding a way to keep on pushing. ♪

let's focus in on texas right now where they are seeing rising numbers in all three key areas, hospitalizations and deaths. the state is topping the 10,000 case mark two days ago, more than doubling the number of daily new cases they reported three weeks ago. here you can see hospitalizations also on the rise. some hospitals in texas are now warning that they could soon run out of icu beds and tragically

the state says that they are now seeing the highest number of deaths since the pandemic began. that chart really is startling. joining me right now is a member of the texas medical association's coronavirus task force and infectious disease doctor as well. el paso was actually named by dr. deborah birx as one of the cities she's watching closely right now as it's seeing a significant number of cases. el paso reported its highest single day infection increase since the pandemic began. what are you seeing there? what is going on, and how bad is it? >> first of all, thank you for having me. the i think as you know texas passing 10,000 cases, el paso having over 300 cases the other morning. we're really concerned as we sort of came out of our lockdown period, the stay-at-home, we were expanding, people started to engage. we didn't have a clear mask

policy. we weren't really social distancing or physically distancing, and now we're seeing some of the repercussions of that. we're still hoping that test and getting people to change their physical dynamics that we can get on top of that about. >> for sure. that -- that is the hope. the state reported the highest number of deaths in a single day yesterday. what does that tell you about where you are in terms of the outbreak and in that ultimate goal of getting this under control? >> it's very concerning. we all know that cases come before hospitalizations which come before deaths, and so any action we take today we still have a four-week lag time, and that's really important for people to understand that there's no immediate fix to this. this is something that we're going to have to collectively change as individuals and as a community and that's really the only way we're going to get around it. >> the lag time is something that appears a lot of people have a hard time with. that it's not a one-day change

in behavior. it's long term and our not going to see the benefits of it for quite some time. that seems to be a really -- why do you think that seems to be such a hard challenge for people to -- to accept as we've seen this go on? >> there are a number of reasons. i think, first of all, people aren't really familiar with how viruses and how the spread of virus works and to the national history of an infection and sometimes even though you guys in the press have done a great job. we in the medical community have been sort of torn around our messaging, and what should have been clear from day one is that this is just early on, right, so to steal a metaphor from d dr. olsterholm, we're in the fourth inning of a nine-inning game and we have to hunker down and our actions have lagged. just like muscle memory. you don't go to the gym and get strong overnight. it takes three or four weeks to

see those developments and those gains so we're going to have to really put in the work to ge >> you put together a chart that i think is extremely helpful in informing the public about the level of risk that various behaviors and various actions have. the texas medical association put this chart together and it's a list of activities and lays out the level of risk for each. the lowest risk is opening mail, eating takeout, playing tennis. on the higher end of risk in the chart it talks about going to a bar, going to a movie theater, a gym. and i read that and i realized that two of the three of those are still allowed in texas, going to the movies and the gym. does that make any sense to you? >> it's more important to me to really focus in on the personal

responsibility. texas, we do believe in personal responsibility and individuals will have to make the decisions that they're going to have to live with but i think they have to remember that the individual decisions affect our community. as a tma member what we wanted to focus on is giving people a guide. these are not hard and fast and i believe that reasonable people can argue of where things are in this ranking and fills that vacuum for people asking us what can we do? what can't we do? if i'm making a decision probably would n't go to a packed bar and we understand by drinking alcohol you change your behavior, remove mask, in close quarters. understanding that outdoors is better than indoors. fewer people is better than more people and those constructs that is what people need to determine how can they be safe as they continue to try to live their lives. >> absolutely. dr. alozie, thank you.

i think this chart is quite helpful for everyone with some of the questions that everyone has. going to a public pool, all sorts of things, it is a good reference point. i appreciate your time. >> i appreciate you. thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up, black lives matter, street murals painted in cities across the country. now one is painted in the president's hometown at his front doorstep. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

-- installation is under way in new york city. there's a mural on 5th avenue directly in front of trump tower. what is happening there right now? >> reporter: so basically now, kate, you have new york adding itself to the list of cities adding the murals with the three words in bright yellow letters, black lives matter. what we did see a mayor bill deblasio arriving here and it was a delay and a heated back and forth online between president trump on the city's mayor. the president initially calling this proposal a symbol of hate, that it would only to use his word denigrate 5th avenue. mayor deblasio responding before taking a paint roller in hand saying this is an acknowledgement of the truth and liberating 5th avenue, also making a note in his tweet saying that really it was many of the black lives built 5th

avenue and certainly still we're hearing some feedback of various new yorkers that stopped by here today. one earlier said this is a permanent reminder that changes need to happen and what better location than the foot of trump tower? the president, first lady changed the primary residence to florida last year and this is a recognizable building in manhattan with the trump name on it right on 5th avenue and certainly a hope of many of the activists, community members coming out here to serve as a lasting reminder sense this is, of course, a retail hub but it's certainly also coming with a bit of controversy. i spoke to a new yorker saying he doesn't agree with some of the platforms of the black lives matter movement and didn't want to see it on 5th avenue. nonetheless, of course, what we do see are those three bright

yellow letters now painted on the pavement outside of trump tower. kate? >> quite a statement. thank you very much. new unemployment numbers are out. 1.3 million americans filing for unemployment benefits for the first time. that number continues to trend downward from a high as you can see unbelievable the end of march and jobless numbers remaining very high as the economy continues to struggle. you can see it everywhere. in orlando, florida, disney world is on track to actually begin a phased reopening this saturday. even though florida as we have discussed so much is now the global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic. union representing hundreds of disney theme park performers is filing a grievance over there. christina, what are you learning? >> reporter: i am learning that the union that represents about

750 disney performers is now saying that disney is retaliating against those workers because they demanded coronavirus testing and the company did not recall them to work because of that. that is what the union is alleging the company. let's give you background here. in late june, the company did recall these workers back to the theme park to begin rehearsals and then the union went public with the demand for company provided coronavirus testing and that recall for the workers to return was rescinded. the company said never mind, don't come back to work. i cannot stress enough how much is on the line for disney as it reopens disney world, an iconic theme park. the nightmare scenario that everybody is not verbalizing but in the back of everyone's head talking about this story with them is that they reopen the park, a bunch of people get sick and have to close down again and there is so much on the line in

terms of the company itself, an analyst earlier this year projected because the theme parks closed around the world not just florida but disney with theme parks in china and in europe, that would cost the company a billion dollars. so both from a profit standpoint and from a public health standpoint there is so much on the line here. now, the union has filed an official grievance with the company and i did reach out to the company for a response and i have not heard back yet and we are staying on the story and closely monitoring what happens there. >> no kidding. thank you. all right. it is the top of the hour. i'm kate bolduan. we are now months into the coronavirus pandemic. yet if you look at the numbers and the trends and the direction that the country is headed it really looks like more like the country is back to square one.
