voters, senior voters and the issue they're worrying about. talking to trump campaign a advisers are alarmed. they say they will not vote for trump again because of the handling of coronavirus and other matters. it is certainly a worrisome seen in the states and other state that is fall into the categories, john. >> very different dynamic when you are then coup incumbent. jeff, thank you so much. >> sure. a welcome to the viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king in washington. thank you for sharing this day with us. this country on a dangerous curve. more than 59,000 new coronavirus cases in the last daily count. right there how many records were set just over the past week. here you see why. 35 states trending in the wrong direction. 12 there in beige holding steady. the governor of texas predicting

a tough week for his state with the four hottest of the hotspots with california, arizona and florida. today florida reporting more than 12,500 new cases, a slight drop from the record 15,000 cases reported on sunday. on this date, a month ago, florida recorded just 2,500 new cases. the president's reaction not to chart a new course, to flatten the curve, but to blame others and retweet conspiracy theories in the process. let's bring in white house correspondent kaitlan collins. the numbers up in trump states across the country. the president not saying this is what we have to do to make it better but p.k.ing fights with experts and agencies. >> reporter: yeah. the experts who have offered the sobering warnings of where the country is right now and where it is headed, a different message than seen from the president and we saw this play out when the president went after fauci directly this

weekend and you saw the white house circulating that opposition-style bullet point list of thing that is fauci said at the beginning of the pandemic come paured now without noting statements like that that happened from the surgeon general that urged people not to wear masks and false claims that the president made himself and then look at what the president retweeting this morning. chuck woolery, former game show host, he said everyone is lying. the cdc, media, democrats, our doctors. chuck woolery said it's all about the election and keeping the economy come fromming back, which is the election. i'm cig of it. the president promoted to the 80 million followers and those around the president are also criticizing dr. fauci with the posts and then what's notable is someone who left the white house

is now saying about covid-19. that's mick mulvaney, john, the president's former chief of staff back in february at the end of february was saying that the media hyping stories of coronavirus in order to bring trump down and now writing an op-ed for cnbc of testing and said in any of the bills of congress should be directed at the root cause of the recession, dealing with covid. he said i know it's not popular to talk about in republican circles but we have a testing problem in this country and goes on to cite firsthand experience saying the son was tested and they had to wait five to seven days to get results and his daughter didn't qualify and mulvaney said that's inexcusable at this point in the pandemic and someone that worked in the white house part of the circle downplaying this early on is now voicing his own concerns about the level of testing saying if we don't ramp it up people won't

feel comfortable getting back to where they were before this and a check is not going to make that difference. they need the peace of mind with testinging testing is the argument that mick mulvaney is macking. >> we don't stop sometimes with the important context. that is to hear that from mick mulvaney saying we have a testing problem is stunning anyway given he is a former white house chief of staff and more so because the president says the reason to see the record case counts is because it's too good at testing. mick mulvaney says, no, sir. >> reporter: yeah. saying that is not the case, that the testing is not there and the other concern that we have heard from some of the health experts is how long it takes the results back because they said it's use toless to taa test unless you quarantine during that period and taking those precautions then you're

going about and don't know if you're simp mat ymptomatic and g it. if you're asymptomatic. this is someone who worked incredibly closely with the president now saying testing is not where it needs to be despite the president saying that the testing is the best in the world in the united states and that those problems have been solved when clearly we know from around the country they haven't. >> we should start the countdown clock on whether when there's a tweet of the president responding to that. kaitlan collins, live for us, thank you so much. not just florida and texas and arizona. it is not just south carolina. the map is depressing right now looking through the cases. these are just four of the hot spots. if you're arizona you are happy down here and still not great. look at this. florida is yellow. california is blue. texas is green. california coming down a little bit recently. but something to watch in this week ahead as state by state we

see troubling numbers. do these keep going up or can they flatten the curve? a thing early on we were told is the death rate is coming down but that is not the case in these states. let's hope the seven-day moving average continues in california but look at the lines. green is texas. yellow is florida. the pink is arizona. all heading up in terms of number of deaths. i want to bring in hospitalizations, too. the governors said don't look at the case count. we can manage this in the hospitals. this is just texas. may 1 was the first phase of the reopening. may 22, bars reopen with 25% capacity. here you see as the line starts to go back up the governor here in late june closes bars down again and june 3 a mask mandate. you do things, there's a lag, things change. now that you have a mask mandate, will it come down? look at the texas numbers.

it is stniunning to look at. i want to bring in dr. sanjay gupta. you say let's wait a few weeks. the case count starts to go up. in this case hospitalizations going up. so now you see the mask mandate. is it reasonable to expect or a hope because you do have new mitigation efforts that perhaps this will start to come down? the governor of texas says not this week predicting a worst week than last week. >> right. i think it will come down hopefully and i think that there's good reason for optimism there but not happening right away. just as you say, john. there's a lag here with all the things that you mentioned which is different than people visualize this. a hurricane is coming, can see where it hits and departs. with this type of storm, if people want to use that metaphor, it is different. there's lag times and frankly i think people haven't gotten used

to it and hard to get used to this idea it looks fine now. weather is clear outside. everything is fine. you don't see it coming. you mentioned, john, it is very interesting, the death rates have gone up and predictable because you saw the case counts and the hospitalizations, the death rates. nobody wants to see the death rates go up. i do think we have learned a little bit. how to better care for the patients. we realize the ventilator may not be as critical of a tool as we thought and proning the patient, understanding the use of high flow oxygen makes a difference. the fact that the demographics are younger is going to make a difference but still if you do the math here you are still looking at a fatality ratio in the country of 3% and 5%. that is much higher than other places around the world and we have to bring the death rate down. >> a thing to do, sanjay, unfortunately i would say, is hold accountable the people that

said one thing weeks ago. one of them is the state of florida where the governor said you're looking for a boogieman and i got this. hospitalizations going up in florida. the case count will go up but we got this. another thing we heard a lot of is seeing more cases doing more testing but that's not always necessarily true. this is florida is your pink line. new york is green line. new york is doing more testing. florida is doing more testing and new york with a peak of cases on april 15th and still doing more testing but not peaking again in cases because they have flattened the curve. state of florida, more testing but the positivity rate is skyrocketing and it is community spread, correct? >> absolutely. without a doubt. yes. may take it a step further, as you do more testing and see the green line, the case count should come down, not up.

more testing should equal fewer cases, not more cases. it is very simple. building on what kaitlan come liste -- collins was saying, the original sin is testing. it is the testing issue. not testing enough in the very againing. we are still not testing enough and don't have eyes on the problem overall and i think everything else has derived from that original sin and we still don't know what we're dealing with hiere. >> we'll keep watching the numbers. up next, a closer look at florida, the cases continue to soar. some hospitals report they're running out of icu beds. learn more at phoenix.edu.

that's what the presidency is - the duty to care, to care for all of us, not just those who vote for us, but all of us. i promise you this: i won't traffic in fear and division. i won't fan the flames of hate. i'll seek to heal the racial wounds that have long plagued our country, not use them for political gain. i'll do my job and i will take responsibility, i won't blame others. you know, i've said from the outset of this election, that we're in the battle for the soul of this nation. what we believe and maybe most importantly, who we want to be, it's all at stake. when we stand together, finally as one america, we'll rise stronger than we were before. i'm joe biden and i approve this message.

to say florida's coronavirus case numbers going in the wrong direction is an understatement.

today reporting 12,500 new coronavirus cases on the heels of a record shattering 15,000 plus cases reported on sunday. hospitals are warning now that the icu capacity is running low. here with me to discuss the situation is dr. charles lockwood. doctor, thank you so much for being with us. i just -- when you look at these numbers, 15,000 yesterday, 12,000 plus today, i know we have been told repeatedly by the experts it is not just the case count but seeing the hospitls stressed. where is florida? how big of a problem, crisis? what's the right word? >> it is complicated. we have had a 5.4 folden crease in cases since june 10. we have had threefold increase and two and a half fold increase in deaths.

each is terrible but it is a different epidemic than hit new york. we have a much younger population being diagnosed and we're much better prepared. we have had three months to prepare so we do have a lot of surge capacity. when you get the numbers of the icu they don't reflect the emergency icu capacity that hospitals created. for example, tampa general has 87 additional ventilators available which we haven't begun to use yet. but the most striking thing is our case fatality rate which has dropped and dropped. it is now to 1.5% so that's cases, deaths over cases. it's one of the lowest in the country and in fact in tampa, hil hillsborough county, today it dropped to actually less than 1%. we have a case fatality rate less than 1% so a lot of that's reflecting the younger

population, most of the folks that we're diagnosing are between 15 and 44. most of the folks in the hospital, in the icus, are between 55 and 85. so the other thing is we're much better able to take care of them in the hospital. we have remdesivir. we have convalescent plasma therapy and doing a better job of ventilating and reasons why i'm not as pessimistic as maybe some folks that you have heard. one is that we seem to have peaked about a week ago in the emergency department visits for covid-like illnesses. and also, for influenza-like illnesses. the horrible test rate of 20% 10 days ago actually was 20% even on 7/8, july 8th, has now dropped to about -- around 11%.

so that's trending in the right direction. the other thing that is driving the cases is spread. but we did 143,000 tests on saturday. when the governor eight weeks ago said we were going to triple the number of tests done per day in the state from 10,000 to 30,000 a day people thought he was crazy. we did 143,000 tests on saturday. so that will drive up cases because we are picking up the pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic cases but we are spreading. there's no doubt about it. the test positive rate had been at 3% one point and now it's at, you know, 11%. >> i certainly hope you're correct in finding those data point that points that suggest maybe the worst is over. very much appreciate your

inrights today. thank you. up next for us, a source close to the white house coronavirus task force said some schools should restrict the reopening. when you shop for your home at wayfair,

president trump's a strong believer that schools should reopen this coming term mooning

in the fall. atlanta's mayor offering a personal story to explain why many families are anxious about their children getting back into a school environment. the mayor and her husband both coronavirus. she spoke at new york governor cuomo's daily news conference just a short time ago. >> my family is an example of what's happening across this country. we had an asymptomatic child in our home for eight days before we knew that that child was asymptomatic and by that time my husband and i had contracted covid unnecessarily i would imagine because we would have taken precautions to protect ourselves. >> dr. tina heart is running a study to determine the role of children play in transmitting covid-19 and sponsored by the national institutes of health. when you hear the mayor's story there, a child in the house asymptomatic and they have coronavirus now. as you study this issue, what is

your take on kids going back into school? is that a risk in your view, more of a risk to send them back to school or more of a risk to leave them at home? >> i think everyone wants children to go back to school. i think there's just no question about that. even children now who didn't want to go to school want to be in school now. the question is when we can do this and do it safely. and i think this is going to differ in communities. communities where you have still widespread circulation of the virus, florida, it is hard to imagine going back to school. in places that have done a good job of patrolling the virus, a plan of going back to school seems much more realistic. >> you have about 2,000 families enrolled if i'm right and going back to them every couple of weeks here. what are you learning?

what do you know about the role children are playing and then what questions do you need to answer, not just for the schools debate but watching the schools try to watch an uptick in the cases? >> right. so one of the big questions we want to know is how important our children in transmitting this virus. is it usually adults to children or virus versa? in general, early on in this pandemic, in fact i would have said i think children are really important. asda th as data emerges, children may be less likely to transmit this virus, especially asymptomatic children, than older individuals but that's a key question that we need to answer. so the study addresses this issue because what we're doing is we're looking at transmission within families sampling them every two weeks and may know if the child is enfeinfected first

parents later. >> it's a critical question, especially as we debate the school reopening issue. cases in the united states by age group, a very low among 0 to 4. 5 to 17 it is up a little bit about 5% of the cases. 18 to 29, a college aged group is a much higher issue there. what are the bigger questions and when do you think you'll have more answers on the data if somebody says, okay, what do you know? i'm going to reopen the schools or the schools with half capacity or rotate kids through, what do you think you can help give us answers that say do this, don't do that? >> the study won't answer that question. what it will help us answer is the question about transmission. within families. we are talking about units that live really tightly together and answering questions of living together where people aren't

wearing masks in the home and eating at the same table that will tell us about how safe it is to have children and teachers together in schools so that's going to help. there is going to be data of other countries where schools are opening and will help to inform things and then things we know work, we know masks work, physical distancing. when we open the schools, our brick and mortar schools, it is going to be in a different way than we are used to having schools and i think most people are accepting that now. >> doctor, very much appreciate your time today. come back when you know more and get the new data. thank you. best of luck. >> i'd welcome that. thank you for having me. >> thank you. the national hockey league taking the first steps to restart play. the league commissioner joins us next. but what i do count on... is boost high protein... and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones.

official washington nfl losing the redskins name and logo. this change coming after years of complaints. many found the name and the logo offensive and racist. the team releasing a statement this morning. they' they're working closely to enhance the standing of our proud, tradition-rich franchise and inspire the sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years. the decision came after weeks of protest. fedex owns the naming rights to the stadium. the national hockey league today, teams starting the training camps today.

penguins saying they're pulling nine players because they had possible secondary exposure to covid-19. the camps, the first step to restarting the season. they shut down march 12th. they do it in the same manner at the nba in a bubble. all the games played in canada, toronto and edmonton. jonning me now is the commissioner gary bettman. i bet you're on pins and needles, anxious but watching the other sports leagues, too. walk us through the metrics and are you sure you're all in or a point if a certain percentage of players test positive that you might have to pull back? >> i think the bigger issue -- thank you for having me today. the bigger issue is getting everybody back into training camps in the facilities where the clubs play and train in the home markets.

and evaluating how people are coming back, whether or not they've been exposed to covid-19. with the penguins in pittsburgh is i think almost a tertiary possible exposure and an abundance of caution. our protocols are strict, comprehensive and as we've said health and safety is the key. we have had hundreds of players tested already. we have had thousands of tests administered. at least in the inception of getting everybody back we anticipated there would be some number of positive tests which is why we're moving slowly and cautiously but we believe as we go through the screening process and get to the two bubbles in places that don't have a lot of covid-19 we should be okay. >> so walk us through that in the sense that you have the western and eastern conference teams and all games played in canada and seeing complaints of

major league baseball teams taking too long to get the test results back. are you doing things differently? how confident are you when it comes to the testing and maintaining the security of the bubbles that you have a good plan? >> we think we have a terrific plan. it's been signed off on by the health authorities both in al r alberta and ontario. listen. all the leagues have been kind of watching each other, talking the each other. our chief medical people regularly consult with each other but we are all doing what we think is appropriate for our sport. and bringing everybody back for training camp which in our case is important not only do we want to make sure that we're covid free to the extent possible, a lot of our players haven't skated in months which is the longest they haven't skated since they were children and we just want to make sure they're in game ready shape.

having them in training camp, testing extensively we think it will be safe to bring everybody to the bubble. we don't want to do anything to compromise health and safety and as everybody in all the leagues have acknowledged this isn't without its risks but that's why we are moving slowly and prudently and ultimately one of the reasons we had ten different opportunities to go to hub city that is our teams in the cities they play in offering to us and a major consideration as we said all along was where was we going do see the least amount of covid-19? >> i have been covering this issue for months and a new wrinkle for me in the sense to respect privacy and as people come back to play i assume it is up to the player. up to the player to decide whether or not they want to release if they test positive and you will not do it and the teams are not allowed to do it without permission.

i'm seeing a statement talking about people who gamble, bet on games saying if the people think the information is insufficient to make a bet they shouldn't bet. because sports betting is such a big industry, how did you wrestle with the privacy question? >> first of all, the privacy question is paramount to the players. we spent the last three months in a collaborative effort with our players' association whether it was the return to play system, the protocols, transition rules, dates or the fact that in the midst of this we have agreed to extend our collective bargaining agreement for another four years so we have six years of labor peace. they have said we don't want to have to unless the player decides to disclose it and we are doing that with all injuries because if the team says a player has an upper body injury you know what it is but if a

player isn't showing up and playing and there's no disclosure as to what it is -- the nature of the injury or condition is then you assume that it might be covid-19 exposure. so we are respecting the players' wishes in this regard but we are going to disclose numbers. we will disclose them whether we have positive tests, how many positives there are and final analysis we believe it's important to respect the desire and wishes of our players. >> commissioner bettman, appreciate your time today. i'll cross my fingers that all goes well and sitting on a couch watching a bruins game soon. >> i hope you are, too. up next for us, the growing divide of the president and some members of his own party.

one trademark of the president trump presidency? immune from gop criticism but in recent days and weeks we see the president facing some criticism from some members of his own party. the issues at play, trump's long time friend's commutation. manu, it is a trickle. with the president's poll numbers slumping, does this

trickle get turned into not a flood but the flow closer to the election and republicans get nervous? >> reporter: the challenge for the republican senators and they know is that they believe that they have to stick with the president in order to help their own re-election standing. when the president does something controversial, something like he did on friday night which is to commute the sentence of his longtime friend roger stone, they know if they come out and criticize him they get criticized by the president himself and that may not help with their own re-elections come november. what you did see on friday, john, were two and the aftermath of that move by the president, two republican senators come out and criticize the president, mitt romney who called this corruption essentially and pat toomey, the republican of pennsylvania, said it was a

mistake. but they are not up for re-election this year. other republican senators who are up have been mostly silent. i have reached out to susan collins' office up for re-election in a difficult race in a state that trends democratic and needs republican support, she's not yet weighed in on this and republicans are -- the senate and the house in recess this week and few of them around for us to get reaction to and you are hearing criticisms about the actions of not wearing a mask but this is more of a trickle, that's the trend pretty much all year and the president's time in office. we'll see if there's more of work outbreak from among the republicans as his poll numbers worsen but the moment most believe, john, that the president needs to do better because that will help them come november. >> that's going to be interesting to watch getting through. if we have more virtual debates

those republicans will get asked the questions. manu raju, appreciate that from capitol hill. a federal judge blocking the execution of convicted murder daniel lewis lee, what would have been the first in 17 years. lee scheduled to be executed today. the judge cited the problems to the lethal injection protocol. the justice department is appealing that ruling. up next, a look at how countries are dealing with the question of returning to class this fall.

tumultuous semester, starting with them in their own homes doing classes and then finally towards the end of the semester they were able to return going back into the classroom for learning. however, a cluster outbreak here in beijing shut all of that down, sent them back into the homes. now the focus is looking ahead to september when the new semester is expected to begin and back into their classrooms not only here in beijing but across most of china. the effort there is health monitoring and doing so with strict measures in place. and doing so with preparation that any future cluster outbreak requires a backup, students back into the homes and classes resuming but digitally. david culver, cnn, beijing. here in asia we get a lesson in just how difficult it is to keep schools open in the age of

covid-19. in south korea, hundreds of schools that were open are now closed and students are learning online. the reason? an uptick in cases there. they' they're going district by district. if there's enough patient it is school makes the decision to sh hong kong with uptick of cases. that was enough even relatively small numbers for hong kong to cancel all schools for the rest of the week and summer begins on saturday. you can do everything right, social distancing, lots of hygiene and still schools might have to close again if the virus returns. will ripley, cnn, hong kong. here in france, students are

expected to fully go back to class when schools reopen early sec september. for 11-year-olds and up they have to wear a face mask. the president sent students back to school mid-may saying that kids couldn't afford to miss out on the learning any longer and with numbers trending down primary schools will mandated to attend classes. across europe, the expectation is that schools will reopen in september. denmark and germany among the first to reopen and even spain and italy once the center of the pandemic are gearing up to welcome students with a major caveat. many governments in europe are working on contingency plans to restart schooling from home should the virus pick up again. let's take a look at france

planning to reopen in the fall even though the government said it's bracing for a possible new surge in cases and the government said it will not respond with another lockdown. director of department of global health in paris joining us. as you have studied the issue as a parent and researcher you think there's a difference between the youngest and oldest students with the virus transmission. >> thank you very much for having me. we had the opportunity of studying different schools in a small town near paris in february when the epidemic was starting and what we observed was in the high school with teenagers it moved rapidly. 38% of students infected. 43% of teachers. 59% of non teaching staff infected but in six primary schools in the same city despite

virus in three schools we didn't see a case so our interpretation of this is well teenagers behave as adults when it comes to risk of being contagious to others with this new disease whereas we hope so students of elementary schools would not be as contagious and the risk of spread in primary schools is more limited. >> how would you translate your advice across the atlanta if you will in the sense that everybody around the world is debating how much social distancing, masks, remote learning? in france, seven-day moving average, the line is way down at the bottom of the chart which is where you want to be for reopening the economy or the schools. looking at a global perspective, united states, france, italy, germany, japan and south korea, showing that you have the united states way up there in terms of

new cases, over 40,000 a day. across the atlantic in the united states would you have the same position about reopening that you have in france where your curve is flattened? >> no. you're perfectly right you have to see what the local situation of the epidemic. if as in france currently you are in the control situation then you may consider reopening schools. if as in the united states now, you have such high numbers,ed that would not be a good time to do it. reopening schools, teenagers grown up enough to wear mask, keep physical distance, wash hands and therefore that should reasonably well work. for student who is as who are y than 10 it is more difficult to wear a mask or keep distance. hand washing, this is something

to keep for the entire life, and keep them in the same class trying not to mix groups so that if the virus does go to a class then it doesn't spread in the other classes in the same school and try to enforce in france and you can do it only if the virus is not circumstance lattilating community at that time. >> whether teachers or people that work in the school who might be at high risk, are they safe or do you have to take extra measures to protect them? >> they have to be very careful. again, it will really depend on the virus in the community at that time. i would guess if the situation is under control if they can keep themselves well protected with mask and hand washing they may go back to school but the first to be told to stay at home if the virus is starting to circulate again. >> doctor, sir, thank you so

much for your insights. thank you for joining us. brianna keilar picks up the average right now. have a good afternoon. i'm brianna keilar and welcoming viewers here in the united states and around the world. the u.s. is losing its battle against the coronavirus. and the federal government is flailing. that is the consensus of medical experts and now the people who are supposed to be in charge of the national response to the pandemic instead are escalating the attacks on doctors, scientists and facts, actively endangering the lives of americans as 60,000 americans test positive for coronavirus newly each day. they wont mandate the use
