hello to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm john king. bad numbers outlining the awful pattern of the summer surge. rising cases and now the resurgence of job losses. weekly unemployment claims heading up so the summer surge taking a toll on hospitals, test sides and the back to school planning. the overall case count to hit the 4 million mark sometime today and it's taken, get this, only 15 days to go from 3 million infections to 4 million infections. we are in the midst of a pandemic's worst month when you consider the case count, nearly 1.3 million added in july alone. the second highest number of new cases on record. yesterday 76,000.

the united states reporting 1,000-plus deaths for the first time since the end of may. the deaths are creeping back up. job losses, too. that adds more urgency to negotiations of a new coronavirus relief package on capitol hill. billions of dollars in new spending. what about unemployment benefits? out there in the states the immediate challenge is to slow the spread. the 50-state trend map looks better this week than last week. it is deceiving but good to say good is a tough word. 23 states heading up. few days ago it was 38 states heading up. 23 heading up in the case count. 22 holding steady. five going down. important among the 22 holding steady florida and california. two of the states driving the increase in cases. arizona also part of that going down at the moment. that's encouraging. let's hope it continues. texas, another big driver in the summer surge in the orange or

the red meaning the case count still going up. take a closer look including the total case count. the way it's growing does tell you about the summer surge and the problem. back on april 28, we hit the 1 million mark. took until june 10th of 2 million. just a month, to july 8th, 3 million and now just 15 days to go from 3 million to 4 million. we'll hit that later today. several states driving this. the big states more than others. florida, california and texas up here. if you have three states in the ballpark of 10,000 cases a day, florida, california and texas adding 30,000 or more cases a day that pushes that national number up and arizona was a driver. seems to be a plateau, maybe beginning to go down in arizona. we know how this works, sadly. new cases. wait a couple weeks, higher

hospitalizations and then see the seven-day moving average of the death count here. texas pointing straight up. florida up, as well. california up. arizona was moving up. hope it is coming down but a lagging i could k lagging indicator. on the hospitalization front, 15 states, 15 states reporting record hospitalizations because of this summer case surge. joining me now is two doctors on the front lines of the fight. dr. matthew and we'll come back to the other doctor in a minute. i started this week hoping that we were going to see a plateau. florida just reporting another 10,000 plus cases. georgia -- record hospitalizations. texas -- record hospitalizations. what is the key to turning this around? >> good afternoon, john. listen. we are no longer wasting whist .

we're neck deep. listen to this, john. i trained a the a large 1,000-bed hospital here in atlanta that's famous and last night i spoke with an attending who said they are at 105% capacity and what's worse is that a lot of these in patients that need rooms don't have rooms. they're being treated in the emergency room. i see one option, john. i know people don't like this, especially businesses, but we have to pull back to phase one. we need a national strategy. we need a strategy specifically for all these southern states. especially georgia because we could easily become new york. when the community transmission is that high, we only have one option and that is pulling back to phase one and ramping up testing. >> dr. matthew, stand by. we have re-established the connection with an emergency room physician in houston. thank you for your time today. do we need to go back to phase

one? your community, one of the fastest growing, diverse communities in the country and dealing with record hospitalizations. what is the answer? >> absolutely, john. we have already proven that social distancing and wearing masks work. the spike of cases began after texas began to reopen. you can see that texas began to reopen on may 8th and all of a sudden there was a spike in cases about three weeks later which is usually how long it tacks for us to see the coronavirus cases start to appear. >> and dr. matthew, you mentioned -- both of you mentioned social distancing and masks or stepping back. you have more states, not all, moving toward mask mandates. the president belatedly urging people to wear a mask saying that november, why november 1? the death projection 185,000. that's down but based on people

deciding, it is based on if 95% of americans wore masks. the question is, can you get to that level and then can you sustain it? >> yeah. so, john, you know, just like you said we can decrease, 45,000 people dying, if all of us here in the state of georgia will wear mask consistently and one thing that i really like as a public health specialist is performing a test and seeing later what those results are. if we all wear masks in georgia, 90%, in 2 to 4 weeks we cut transmission. how can we even talk about a school opening if the community transmission is so high? it would be a matter of weeks before the teachers fall sick. it is the same thing with businesses here in atlanta. yes, you want to keep a business open but the problem is if you don't mandate masks you're putting that responsibility on a restaurant owner to tell a

client that walked in, listen, you have to wear a mask otherwise i'm not going to serve you food. so for me i said this before. it's a no brainer, john. we need to all wear masks and we know that it will decrease the transmission and cut down boths. >> help me here connect the medicine to the math in the sense that a lot of people, the president of the united states said this many times, the governors in the states experiencing the surge said this. don't just focus on the case count alone and they're right to say that. we knew there would be some increase in cases but then it gets to a point if the baseline is too high this becomes very hard to handle. a case growth seasons we go back to just before the memorial day weekend. you start seeing the cases grow across the united states. you see that red line. that's the average of cases moving up. the issue is your hospital system, maybe you can deal with a basic number but growing by a third or if it doubles over that, if your baseline is high and looking at 60,000 cases a

day, at that point, the count does matter, doesn't it? >> absolutely does matter, john. what we are not looking at is number of hospitalizations, the number oficu beds utilized, a better indicator of how many resources are funneled into caring for the covid-19 patients and while we have seen a slight decrease in cases as of july 21 this is three weeks after governor abbott reinforced the mask mandate and further demonstrating that masking does work. >> let us hope, leave the politics aside, for or against governor abbott, the mask mandate, things continue to go down. dr. matthew, if you look at the regional impact, you're both in sunbelt states dealing with part of the summer surge right now. if you look at the south, it is the south and the west right now

that are the biggest source of the problem if you will. the problem. confirmed cases. my question on the cycle here. if you are the northeast and back in -- little typo in the graphic. march and april ump the quote/unquote problem and now you feel like you're in a better place. how do you keep it from cycling back to other parts of the country? >> that's why i think that it is not just enough for us to think that we live in a bubble like in the state of georgia. i really think that all the governors need to get together with the public health specialists and we need one strategy. it doesn't matter if you mandate masks in texas if you don't mandate masks in georgia. people travel. we are a mobile society. and for every hour and every day that we are not pulling back to phase one, we are going to have more and more people die. just as the doctor mentioned, a second ago, the way you look at as whether a covid-19 is truly

an infection to worry about is you look at the positivity rate, you look at the hospitalization rate and eventually the deaths that lag behind so really it is a no-brainer. we have to pull back to phase one and all the southern states need to have one plan otherwise it doesn't matter what happens in one. it will trickle over to the other. >> coordination between and among the states and national level would help greatly. doctors, thank you both so much for joining us on this day. please come back again as we continue the conversation. let's move to the new epicenter, florida. again reporting more than 10,000 new cases in the last 24 hours. number of deaths which lag hospitalizations set a new record, 173 yesterday alone in the state of florida. rosa flores live for us in miami. the numbers yet again grim. >> reporter: yet again the state of florida shattering the death

toll record reporting more than 170 deaths within a 24-hour period. when you look at the number of cases and the graph, it looks like the number of daily cases is plateauing, specifically in the past two days they have been under 10,000. today yet again that number jumps above 10,200. there are 51 hospitals across this state that have asked the state of florida for help with nurses. that's one of the big needs in the state of florida right now. the county that is requested the most nurses here in miami-dade county, requested more than 700. icus in miami-dade operating at 130% capacity. but the county is doing is converting regular beds to icu beds but of course they still need nurses and human beings to provide that care. in the city of miami, however, a glimmer of hope. take a listen. >> just a few days ago at 16 new

cases a day. the week was 125. the remediation efforts we have taken including the mask in public rule are working. we are patient and letting those remediation measures take full effect before making any decisions. >> reporter: now, about that mask mandate, john, according to city officials now it will cost you more money if you don't wear a mask in the city of miami. the fines for the first and second offense up to $100. third offense could land you in jail. john? >> rosa flores on the ground live for us in miami. i had hoped when they got under 10,000 they stay there. back above 10,000 new cases today. appreciate the hustle and the live reporting from miami. the president calls coronavirus testing overrated but he is changing the tone a bit saying he'll keep funding testing if the experts say he should. chocolate would be good... snacking should be sweet and simple. the delicious taste of glucerna

remember all those times he said it's because we're testing so much? that's why we have the spike in cases. we don't need all the tests. now though the president says, i think it's overrated but if the experts say keep it up, i'm good. >> we are doing tremendous amount of testing but if the doctors and the professionals feel that even though we're at a level that never dreamt possible i'm okay with it. i think it's overrated and totally willing to do it. it makes us look bad but they say it's good. >> cnn's kaitlan collins with us from the white house. we'll see if it sticks and we know that the president back again in the briefing room today or at a briefing today. he is enjoying the resurgence here. >> reporter: john, what we're really seeing from answers like that how different the president is reading from prepared remarks or saying what he thinks about what's going on because yesterday in the briefing room the president was talking about

why we are seeing such a surge in cases across the united states and it attributed several reasons and not only limited to an increase in testing. but then when he is speaking contemporaneously off of a script he starts to say he believes it's because there's an increase in testing in the united states. many health experts everyone sa not the case and the reason you are seeing a rise in cases but because the virus is spreading in the united states and the positive test rates are what show that and what the task force is watching closely and to give you an indication of what we are not hearing from the health experts since they are not appearing with the president any longer, yesterday the center for public integrity obtained audio of a call that dr. birx held with several leaders of several cities in the united states and basically they said there's is 1 cities to watch where the test rate may have gone up just a little bit, that positive test rate, but she say this is's deeply concerning and

that's something those cities need to be watching so we'll see the president today. it is unclear if he brings the health experts with him. based on the answer to me yesterday why they're not with him it doesn't sound like he thinks that they need to be because they brief him and he briefs us and he feels it is concise and the question of information to cities, leaders not made public to the general public just watching the briefings and the question is, how does that affect the response really in the long run. >> especially in those southern more conservative states where those mayors and governors could use some cover if they need to do more. ka kaitlan come lens, appreciate that. let's continue the conversation. let's start there on the point that the president clearly, this was a risk coming back out for briefings and we know how much the briefings earlier hurt his

poll numbers. he is back. he thinks it's helpful. when will we know if it's really helpful? >> the white house and the president's advisers have tried to limit the risk by putting some parameters around the briefings. they have made sure that the president has a scripted opening, spends time reading from the scripted remarks and tries to focus on a message in line with the public health experts and takes a few questions and try to keep it under 30 minutes so they're not the long marathon briefings of march and april and not clear whether it helps him because he continues to do the interviews continuing to veer from the public health expertise he gets from the advisers and sort of goes with the instinct to talk about things not related to the pandemic so he's still continuing to be the same person that he was back in march and april when he was holding the marathon briefings and talking about injecting bleach and hydroxychloroquine and all these other unproven magical cures for

this virus and it's not clear yet that he has taken it to heart that this virus is going to define his presidency, especially this last year of this first term and in a major way and not something to be wished away or talked through or spun out of and because of that it's not clear that he will be able to stick to the message that the public health experts want him to push at this moment. >> dana, he is clearly hoping and the team to find some way to try to turn around the horrible numbers. near he two thirds of the americans say they don't trust of what much -- much of what he says about the pandemic. joe biden is getting some help from a high profile friend. he had a conversation with former president obama and they have released more of it including this snippet of leadership at a time of crisis. >> you and i had experience

dealing with health crises, public health crises, and in each instance what you and i understood and why i have so much confidence that you're going to be able to deal with covid in the way that other countries with our kinds of resources are dealing with it right now, which is smartly, i have confidence that you're going to listen to the experts. >> there are so many ways to look at this but the big message is, you know, president obama, well liked, especially among democrats, well liked in the suburbs, a big battleground right now saying i trust joe. you should trust joe when the president has a trust problem. >> a big trust problem and a big leadership problem. this is why joe biden said from the beginning that he decided to run in the primaries and the fact to do so now in the middle

of a pandemic as the presumptive nominee puts the discussion in his sweet spot and trying to capitalize on that as much as possible with this very unique and sign of the times kind of video that he did with his former boss and the former president of the united states. and to contrast that with as tulo was talking about not necessarily the briefings the president has been doing and the team i can tell you is very happy with so far because he has stuck to script there, it's the interviews like when he said today, or last night, that testing is overrated. that's a kind of thing that makes his team political and policy pull their hair out and it is also the people who are trying to save him from himself and save themselves on capitol hill. republicans in congress, just for example, as we have been talking, the team sent a note that lamar alexander the chair of the powerful health committee

dealing with money and policy on health and education, said that very adamantly disagrees with the president, he said testing is incredibly important. when it comes to a whole bunch of things within society, especially opening schools. he said imagine if we had more testing to test classrooms, contact trace and so on and so forth. so you have them not just pushing back on the president on the notion but also on the policy. they're also going to fund more of the testing that the president and the white house had said that they wanted to cut. much to the chagrin and bewilderment of not just democrats but republicans. >> and to that point, i don't want to overplay this because most republicans are still loyal to the president but we are seeing more and more republicans trying to stake out new positions or willing to say, no. in every round of the coronavirus stimulus so far, the president has lost his own party

saying, no, mr. president, we will not give a payroll tax cut and he said again it was important this time and he was going to fight for it. listen here, his treasury secretary this morning, the guy that does the deal making with congress says, never mind. it's gone. >> the president's priority for the moment to get money into americans quickly and a problem with the takes time and we are much more focused on the direct payments. we are going to come back again. there may be a c.a.r.e.s 5.0 and the president is focused on money in american workers and pockets right now. >> they're having a hard enough time for compromise on c.a.r.e.s 4.0. i don't get it in the point that the president watts to push a proposal and told you will not get this and the president saying out of the gates, no, sir, no. >> yeah. this was a complete cave by the white house and the president on the issue. they knew from the beginning

several months ago that there was not a lot of support of the payroll tax cut and would take time to get into the people's anderson with the bulk amount of money they're talking about to reach people and not a new revelation that now all of a sudden they're in favor of direct payments instead of payroll tax cut and realized that the politics was not on their side and didn't have republicans on their side coming this payroll tax cut and had to cave and trying to do it in a calm and gentle way to not harm the president's ego and talking about a c.a.r.e.s 5.0 but shows that the president's poll with his own party is limited. he does not have the ability to sway republicans voters and lawmakers the way he may have early in his term in part because a lot of them see the poll numbers, a weakened incumbent and don't want to tie their fortunes to him going along with proposals they don't

agree with. so this was a clear instance of the president caving and it's interesting to see how much republicans depart and show some distance from this president in the last 100 or so days before the vote. >> john, if i may real quick. >> please, go ahead. >> the president tweeted blaming democrats saying it was the democrats that didn't want the payroll tax, why they pulled it back, a quick reality check. we know from this from the reporting but the fellow republicans thought it was a bad policy idea and why the white house caved. >> democrats never got a chance. they would have stopped it had they gotten a chance but this is every time, every time the president's party has stopped it first. important fact check there. thank you for your reporting there. up next, the president's already sent federal agents to portland. now he said he'll do it in chicago. the mayor there issuing a clear warning to the president and those federal agents. that's next.

some shocking images out of portland, oregon. tear gas to try to disperse protesters. among them in the middle of them, governor's mayor ted wheeler. the clashes sparking a debate over who's to blame for this violence. cnn security correspondent josh campbell was right there.

>> hi, john. another night of protests here in the city of portland, oregon. seen well over 50 days where protesters come out mostly peaceful in the daytime, calling for racial justice, calling for an end to police brutality in their words and an end to this influx of federal troops that were sent in, the federal agents by the trump administration. apologize for my voice in advance. we are tear gassed overnight more times than can count because in this group there's a group of rioters that then caused federal agents to come out. these rioters launching fireworks and projectiles and setting fire overnight that causing federal agents to launch tear gas into the crowd pushing all of us back away from that area. in the crowd in addition to protesters and journalists was the mayor of portland and i caught with him overnight and

asked him whether or not the local administration, local police are to blame or responsible for some of the destruction that we have seen here night after night. take a listen what he said and pointing to federal officials as having the responsibility. >> this is clearly a waste of federal resources. and it's getting increasingly dangerous. we did not ask the feds to be here. we don't want them here. they're not helping the situation or appropriately trained and demanding that they leave. their presence here is creating more problems rather than less problems. the tactics they have been using are abhorrent. >> reporter: of course, trump and his administration continued to blame portland city officials saying that the only reason federal officials are here is because of portland police and city officials are not adequately protecting that building. that is this ongoing standoff that we have continued to see of federal officials, local officials. we talked to protesters overnight who said that as long as this influx of federal troops

is in the city they're not leaving. we'll continue to see more protests. john? >> josh campbell on the ground in oregon. similar fight between the president and the mayor of chicago. the president retweeting this morning a post calling laurie lightfoot the worst mayor in the united states. overnight the mayor had tough words for the president saying she won't tolerate a bunch of secret federal agents patrolling the streets without coordination. cnn's ryan young on the ground there for us in chicago. we've seen what played out in portland. is that a preview of coming attractions for chicago? >> reporter: people who live here in chicago believe that will not work here in this city. john, we have been talking about for years of how tough it is in the summertime to patrol the streets streets in chicago. we have seen numbers because they're surprised. you are just here a few months

ago. that leads to trump tower and a homicide here. police released the surveillance video. take a look. police are looking for the men in this video and they want to talk to the witnesses surrounding this area as the shooting happened in the loop highlighting where this violence is spreading throughout the city and show you some video from a funeral scene where we know 14 people were shot. there's people asking for helping stamping the crime down here in chicago and the mayor believes they're uniquely able to handle this especially if they use existing federal resources and help push more federal resources to the atf and dea and the president wants to get involved but take a listen to the mayor. >> i think i've been very clear with the president that there are certain things and lines that i will not allow him to cross. not going to have a bunch of secret federal agents patrolling

our streets without any coordination or cooperation and taking people off the streets without any cause and violating their due process rights. we stand ready to fight against that. now, if he's going to bring resources in that are under the control and direction of u.s. attorney that's another thing. >> reporter: of course, people are concerned that you have the federal agents sort of roaming around picking people up and that could start a flash point between the community but if you think at the backdrop of a murder down this bridge in the middle of downtown it is different with covid-19. not as many tourists as normal but with the city and trying to get rid of the violence after weekends of 60 and 70 shot you can understand people want change. >> you do understand people want change. ryan young, appreciate that. does this help the problem or escalate the problem? we'll watch as it plays out. ryan, thank you so much. this should have been day one of the summer olympics in

japan hit agnew record in coronavirus cases today. the day that should have been spent opening the tokyo summer olympics. cnn reporters bring us that story and other global developments from around the world. >> reporter: here in tokyo, one year to go until the summer olympics and the question everyone is asking is whether the games should and can go ahead. japan has fared much better than other countries containing the

coronavirus but new cases in the tokyo capital hit a record high today. we are going into a long holiday weekend here and the message from the governor is, please stay home. the japanese government is still not opening sporting stadiums to full capacity and that's a big obstacle to host within of the world's biggest sporting events. cnn, tokyo. >> reporter: here in jerusalem, prime minister netanyahu is under increasing pressure as protests against israel's longest serving leader have grown. there's been an anti-corruption, anti-bebe element to these. what's new is sources of anger of economic frustration, all of that is putting pressure directly on netanyahu and that comes as coronavirus cases in the country continue their skyward trend. on wednesday israel cracked the 2,000 mark confirmed cases of coronavirus according to the

ministry of health breaking the mark at which they suggest israel might have to return to a second lockdown and the number of serious cases nearly quadrupled since the beginning of the month and netanyahu appointed a coronavirus czar. but even that was turned down by a number of candidates who feared it was not a job with any responsibility but given all the blame. that is a signal of the public frustration that's growing coming to netanyahu's handling of the coronavirus outbreak. in egypt, doctors have a hard time dealing with the coronavirus outbreak but their job is being made all the more difficult by the country's pervasive security services which have arrested at least seven medical personnel for speaking out about shortages of personal protection equipment and other shortcomings in the country's national health service. they're accused of membership in

a terrorist organization and spreading false news. now, egypt's doctors' union has come to the defense but because of the nature of the accusations specifically membership in a terrorist organization lawyers are not being given access to any of the evidence. egyptian officials have not responded to cnn's requests for comment. until now, egypt has recorded nearly 90,000 cases of coronavirus including almost 4,500 deaths. among them more than 120 doctors who have died from the virus. ben wedeman, cnn, beirut. up next, baseball, america's game, makes the official return today. that as a debate forms in the nfl. does the league have a plan to keep the players safe?

and cnn has learned in the last hour players will be allowed to wear black lives matter messages on the uniform or the cleats. next week is start of football training camps. this morning, tom brady now he plays for another team but used to play for a team i like and arriving in tampa, florida. that's one part of the protocol. must have two negative tests before entering team facilities. and then tested daily the first two weeks but some players including the quarterbacks russell wilson and drew brees publicly questioned whether it's enough. let' bring in a neuro surgeon who happens to be a former nfl player and good to see you again. what is your take on this? your own medical expertise and conversations with friends and leagues in the game. does the nfl have a good enough plan? >> thank you for having me, mr. king. i don't think they do. this is ambitious to start the

league this early in the pandemic seeing a rise in bum berhe of patients, infections, hospitalizations and beds used, ppe, resources at high demand. when you have a legal that's players that have voiced their concerns about their own safety, their family's safety, the staff, the people in the lock box facility of the nfl i think the nfl should listen, take a step back, pause and delay or cancel the season to make sure that we have this pandemic under good control before we start football again. >> you know what it is like to go to training camp and to play a full season and be on the front lines of the coronavirus battle. players must have two negative tests 72 hours apart before they enter team facilities. players tested every day for two weeks. if the results are add or below 5% then it's every other day and then the reality and seen it

every workplace that reopened including watching baseball, basketball and the like. what are your major concerns and is there something unique about football that you just say this isn't going to work, guys? >> the nfl is trying to be creative, innovative to get the game going again and we love the sport and speaking as a former player they have lived their whole life for this moment and you have a transient window to pursue the athletic goals and dream before you leave the nfl but practically in the game you have to be close contact, you have to be physical. you have to have these battles, you have to tackle, be in the huddle, team meeting rooms and weight rooms. it is difficult to have a team game when you're separate and apart so that's an issue and what we have seen in medical facilities and our hospital is that, yes, people who have low functional reserve, people who
