we may go out and we run the engines. we'll check them. make sure that the oils are up to snuff. >> reporter: united, alaska and all major operators of the 737 insist to cnn they make maintenance seriously and will compile with newly mandated inspections. but, it's a new bump in what airlines hoped would be a smooth recovery. >> thank you for joining us. anderson starts now. so for all the talk of the president's change of attitude about the pandemic, more than 145,000 american lives into it, the president's spokesperson says change, what change? he's been totally consistent. john berman in here for anderson. a lot to get to after a week that saw the 4 millionth confirmed coronavirus.

except a front line doctor at over burden hospitals making agonizing decisions who gets treated except for parents worried and confused about sending their kids to school, except for millions of laid off workers and another 1.4 million this week about to see their unemployment checks stink. to them, what you're about to hear sounds far different than spin but contempt for the reality we're all now facing. >> there has been no change. he hasn't changed on speaking on covid generally. the way he's talking privately is the way he's talking out here. the only thing that changed is the president taking dozens and dozens of your questions each and every day because he felt the best way to get information to the american people was for him to be out here answering your questions and providing this directly. >> no change she says and in perhaps in fairness, maybe she's right. you can make a case the president has consistently failed to take the pandemic

seriously and the only thing that's changed is he's now saying words out loud from a prepared script at the podium. these words now conveniently ignore everything else he said and done month after month and death after death. for example, here is the president last night talking about cancelling the republican convention in jacksonville. >> we have to be vigilant. we have to be care and feel we also have to set an example. i think setting the example is very important. it's hard for us to say we're going to have a lot of people packed in a room and other people shouldn't do it. there is nothing more crowded than a convention. a convention, you've seen them. even though you try and keep people away from each other, it not that kind of a thing. they probably can't do that. it just doesn't work for them. so it's a very hard -- so i think we're setting an example by doing it. it's very important. >> the president also said and i'm quoting, i have to protect the american people. that is what i have always done. that is what i will always do.

that is what i am about. mr. president, if that's in fact so, there is someone i'd like you to meet. >> i've been watching. i've been watching the fake news for weeks now and everything is negati negative. don't go, don't come, don't do anything. we've saved hundreds of thousands of lives and all we do is get hit on like we're terrible -- they test and they test. we have tests of people that don't know what is going on. it's a disease without question. has more names than any disease in history. i can name kung flu. we have this. we have another one over here. many call it a virus, which it is. many call it a flu. so i said to my people slow the testing down, please. >> the president indoors with thousands of people at a rally in tulsa, no social distancing. only a few covered faces. that was about four weeks and

nearly 2 million cases ago. four weeks and 25,000 lost american lives ago. now the president says that the very same type of event isn't safe and his press secretary suggests he's always thought that even though he moved the convention to jacksonville in the first place because officials in north carolina would not permit the no mask, non-socially distance event that he was demanding. which he now says just isn't safe which raises the obvious question. >> why is it not safe to hold the convention but it is safe to reopen schools? >> the schools are a different situation when you have children who as the cdc guidelines clearly note are not effected in the same way as adults. >> those guidelines were loosened on orders of the president. we'll talk more about them in a moment but in a nutshell, they learn toward returning kids to the classroom even though the science on the safety of it is unclear. notably, the cdc makes no

mention of a large study recently south of south core korea that found kids ages 10 and up spread the virus as easily as adults. on the today show dr. debra birx eluded to it as she said evidence on young children is thin. >> what i can't tell you for sure, despite the south korea study, is whether children under 10 in the united states don't spread the virus the same as children over 10. i think that is still an open question that needs to be studied in the united states. we certainly know from other studies that children under 10 do get infected. it's just unclear how rapidly they spread the virus. >> it's unclear she says. the evidence is mixed say the new cdc guidelines. to sum it up in plain english, yikes since the loudest voice in the room with no scientific training keeps saying things like this. >> but when you look at the statistics i just read having to

do with children and safety, they're very impressive. they have very strong immune systems. >> you wouldn't understand the children who go to school then go back to home, some live with their grandparents, this is a real risk. >> they do say that they don't transmit very easily and a lot of people are saying they don't transmit and we're looking at that. we're studying, john, very hard that particular subject. that they don't bring it home with them now. they don't catch it easily. they don't bring it home easily and if they do catch it, they get better fast. we're looking at that fact. that is a factor and looking at it strongly. we'll report about that over the next week. >> the president also says administration is quote in the process of developing a strategy that's going to be very, very powerful unquote for addressing the pandemic. he said it by the way on tuesday. more than 3,000 lost american lives ago. we should also mention at no point this week did the president mention the 4 million

case milestone or the number of americans that died. perspective on the public health and political size of this joining us, infectious disease specialist, and epidemiologist and cnn political commentator to president obama david axelrod and cnn chief political analyst gloria borger. david, the bottom line, this key question, why does the white house not think it's safe to hold the republican national convention in florida yet it is safe to reopen schools? >> yeah, i'm not sure -- i mean, there is some logic to it in the sense that there is a desperation on the part of parents to get their kids back in school. kids are suffering. there is a really strong wanting to get them back but you want to do it safely and public health experts say in the hot spot areas it's hard to gaurn teuara that and guarantee they won't

spread the virus. i'm also -- i can't help but remember just sunday the president was literally wining in his interview with chris wallace how the mean democratic governors couldn't hold rallies. he's had a rapid epiphany of what is safe and not. >> look, it's a confused message at best when you say both things at once, both sides. gloria i'm one that happens to thing this idea that is a change tune is hooey but the white house is trying to present a different image of the president i think. they are trying to. the question on that is why? what do they want to get and why? >> they want to stop the bleeding of the poll numbers. they have an election they want to win in november. they want to show that donald trump is the leader and what they are also trying to show is he hasn't become completely

irrelevant which i believe he almost has in the managing of the pandemic if you take a step back, this is a president late to the game cancelling the jacksonville convention, has been saying we don't need new tests, we need fewer tests and changed his mind and went back and forth after demanding that all schools open, say wait a minute, maybe there are some school districts and some of those hot spots that shouldn't open that quickly, so -- and on the mask of course. suddenly we see him dawning a mask. so he's trying to appear as if he knows what he's doing. he's out front. he's leading. and he's not irrelevant and the american public, 60% of whom said he did a lousy job managing the pandemic are scratching their head saying where were you four months ago? >> doctor, debra birx and dr. fauci have not been allowed to

speak at the briefings and i think we know why. the most surprising thing said out lout today was from dr. birx in the "today show" interview where she made clear the science on opening schools is unclear. the science on children transmitting the disease is unclear. how much do we really know at this point about how rapidly children under 10 can spread coronavirus? >> look, john, i think the number one message here is reopening schools in the middle of wide spread community transmission is dangerous. that should be a non-starter. now is it possible based on some of the science we have laboratory with patients and what we've seen in other countries like dern mark and norway that have reopened schools just for the youngest kids based on those experiences, if you have suppressed community transmission in a place like new york city you could look at a phased in approach to reopening schools starting with the

youngest kids under 10 see how that goes, assess as you go and maybe see if you want to open more widely but it's how that information should be used, not as a justification for throwing school doors wide open when you have wide spread community transmission. >> there is a osouth korea stud. dr. fauci talked about a study being done here in the u.s. by the national institutes of health but the results aren't expected to be available until december and that's half way through the school year. so in the absence of that information right now, how should parents navigate sending their children back to school? >> i think you really need to what makes sense for you and your family. i think for a lot of families, this are parents and extended family who do have underlying risk factors that would put them at increased risk for severe covid disease that does need to factor into the decision making here. i think another important point

here, though, is that this is why contact tracing is so important because it helps to inform decisions while we're waiting for the big nih study to come through and new york city for example, contact tracing data would indicate children are more likely to be infected by adults rather than adults infecting children. excuse me, children are more likely being infected by adults than children infecting adults. it's less likely the children would be responsible for bringing disease home but again, this is still preliminary data and really should not be turned into policy except for where you have suppressed community transmission. >> david, one of the things the president has not done in recent days clearly doesn't like to talk about is the 145,000 lives lost in the country to coronavirus. you would think those would be on top of mind of any president of the united states who calls himself a wartime president.

what's the calculations there, you think? >> look, from the beginning there is an attitude of denial you can spin a pandemic and you just can. even at the press briefing yesterday, he made the case we're doing fine. we're doing well and he said but even one death is too much. one death? how about 145,000 deaths to gloria's point about being irrelevant, he chose that role because he punted all the hard decisions to the governors instead of leading the country as one and we've had a paradox where the president is leading a government that is trying to fight the pandemic and also leading the resistance to the guidance his government is offering and that's a reason why we're in such worse shape than other countries around the world. >> so gloria, today dr. fauci praised the president for his quote short and crisp coronavirus briefings, which is a backhanded compliment if you can ever hear one. what is great, they are short,

dr. fauci says. do you think the president will be able to continue down this path? 100 days to go until the election. >> it's hard for me to predict anything with donald trump but if i had to guess, i'd say the odds are he can't because he loves the stage too much, and he changes his mind all the time and we just saw it this week. he came out and said, you know, maybe we do need more testing and changed his mind in another interview with a journalist saying well, you know, i'm not for a lot of testing. some people are. some people aren't. so i think the president is of course likely to say what comes to mind and i don't think he's changed his mind and i do think he pays no attention to this and move beyond it, but he can't. and this is what is so frustrating for him. so it's hard to answer your question, but i talked to somebody who is in touch with some high up people in the white house, and they're nervous about it because they don't know

what's going to come out of his mouth the next time he speaks. >> you have a lot of republicans patting him on the head intentionally to give him positive reinforcement to keep on doing it. very quickly, dr. fauci says a vaccine won't be likely widely available until mid 2021, is that realistic? >> if that's realistic, will people accept the vaccine? polls of americans now indicate a third of americans would refuse to get vaccinated. so that has me and many other public health officials really concerned. >> have a terrific weekend. thanks so much. next, the secretary of education goes even further than the president on the power she claims that kids have against the virus. her predecessor in the obama administration joins us with a doctor who once over saw student health in baltimore city schools and later, how baseball and other sports are adapting to a new world of social activism.

our health comes first. which is why we keep taking care of ourselves, like screening for colon cancer. because when caught in early stages, it's more treatable. cologuard is noninvasive and detects altered dna in your stool... ...to find 92% of colon cancers... ...even in early stages. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. so, don't wait to screen. ask your prescriber or an online prescriber if cologuard is right for you. to visit all the places we didn't know meant so much.s to get out and go again. but we're all going at our own speed. at enterprise, peace-of-mind starts with our complete clean pledge, curbside rentals and low-touch transactions. with so many vehicles of so many kinds, you can count on us to help you get everywhere you want to go...

again. whenever you're ready, we're ready for you. enterprise.

a master'sdgren, youin chemical engineering., and you're technically a genius... and it appears you're quite the investor. i like to trade. well, td ameritrade has pros ready if you need help, say talking through a new strategy... ... just in case things, you know, get a little rocky? i'm sorry

on the upside i think that's waterproof. maybe not... ♪ at the top of the program you heard the president with a deep seeded belief about children and the coronavirus and said he would be quote comfortable with sending his son baron back to the classroom but according to the "new york times" the school baron attends is still deciding whether to open at all. it's far less gung ho than the president or bet si devoss that said this about the role children play in the pandemic. >> more and more studies show that kids are actually stoppers of the disease and they don't get it and transmit it themselves. so we should be in a posture of the default should be getting back to school, kids in person,

in the cloassroom. >> stoppers of the disease. that's from the secretary of education and no, there is no evidence, zero to support what you just heard her say. joining us now is arnie duncan who had secretary devoss' job in the obama administration and balloter more health commissioner. secretary duncan, first to you, when you hear secretary devoss with the authority of your former office say things like that, who goes through your mind? >> well, it's unbelievably disturbing and infuriating. she's lying. obviously, there is no science there. not only is she fund mentally dishonest but dangerous and fortunately, you know, parents, teachers, superintendents, children aren't paying attention to what she's saying. she's made herself irrelevant. the president made himself irrelevant. we'll be led out of this by leadership that will make the right decisions for children.

educationally, yes but for their health and safety. that the going to happen at the local level and gross roots level. >> they don't seem to be living in the same universe as dr. birx who we heard earlier and dr. fauci about how little we actually know about how this virus affects children. so how much does this add to the confusion for parents not to mention administrators over schools? >> i think everyone is struggling with these questions and at the end of the day, we need to be humble and i would have loved for president trump and secretary devoss to be honest about here are the things we know and here is what we don't know. we know children tend to get much less severely ill than adults do, although remembering that children don't live in a bubble, we're talking about their parents and grandparents and teachers and staff, too. we also do have unclear research about the information about the transmission of virus by

children and there was a south korea study done that found that children under the age of 10 are maybe about half as likely to transmit the virus as adults but half of a lot is a lot. and the single most important thing we need to focus on is reducing the level of the virus in the community, which is something dr. fauci and birx focus on but we haven't heard as much from the president. >> secretary duncan, the cdc guidelines came out last night and a shell of the previous guidelines, the ones the president said were too tough. so these guidelines, are they more political or medical at this point? >> well, they are trying to have it both ways. they are bending to the pressure they are feeling from him but if you read into it, they say in the fine print we'll be having an increase in cases, those decisions will be made at the local level. let look at the local numbers. if you go back to march 23rd, march 24th when schools shut down, we had 10,000 cases a day.

a month ago, june 23rd, we had 35,000 cases a day, today we're having 70,000 cases a day. a month ago, we had 11, 12 states where there were declining numbers and today we only have a single state. as a country, we're going the wrong way and it's infuriating. had we done what we needed to do in march, april, may, june, we wouldn't be talking about can we open schools. this is a national disaster. it became a man-made catastro e catastrophe. had we locked things down and socially distanced and wore masks and had a white house that led, had a national plan we wouldn't be jeopardizing our children's chance to go back to school in the next couple weeks. >> so dr. nguyen, you hear secretary duncan say local leaders need to step up and make responsibiliible decisions. would it be enough to use the cdc document that had on the first page a warning that fully

reopening schools remained one of the highest risks for the virus? >> i compared that document, john, to the document released today about the guidance and they are night and day difference. the document today was basically a justification of why in person schooling is important, which i think we can all agree it's important. we got it. but what we need is the guidance on how to do so safely and actually, that leaked documented provided that guidance. they actually looked at many different examples of school protocols from around the country and critiqued them and highlighted some innovative best practices. that's what we need the c didc do. we need recommendations based on science, not have political pressure determine the content and what local leaders need more than anything is federal resources. they need the resources now in order to do the right thing for their communities. they need local flexibility and targeted to the communities most disadvantaged and vulnerable students facing educational and

profound health disparities. >> they need to know how to do it and have resources to do it right. secretary duncan, it's interesting. the new guidelines do this have backdoor suggesting if the virus is out of control in your county or district then maybe you should reconsider reopening and the cdc director robert redfield clarified that today. he said communities with a positivity rate higher than 5% perhaps should consider not reopening. well, that's a lot of places. that's california, it's texas, arizona, mississippi, florida, a it's a lot of places. >> nationally we're at about 8.8%. we're significantly higher than that. it puts superintendents so thoughtful until a difficult position and folks trying to open totally physically are having to go high bred are having to go remote online because in far too many

countries, the number of cases are going up every single day. schools aren't bubbles. they are not islands. the best way we can get kids back into a physical school is beat down this virus in our local communities. i want to say the goal is not to reopen schools, the goal is to stay open. so we need to move thoughtfully, carefully, start with those children most at risk as dr. nguyen talked about. start with the babies, see if that works and slowly try and ask students if we do the right thing. we've seen countries, israel open too fast and had to shut down. south africa opened too fast and had to shutdown. we do not want to do that here and we should not be in this situation the first place. >> there are places that can do it. how to help them do it safely and the confusion gets in the way. former secretary, and dr. nguyen, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. just ahead, a close look at the pandemic's toll in texas with a front line worker that

seen the worst of what this disease can do. that's when "360" returns. and you won a golden ticket. all of these are face masks. this looks like a bottle of vodka. but when we first got these, we were like whoa! [laughing] my three-year-old, when we get a box delivered, screams "mommy's work!" mommy's work. with this pandemic, safety is even more important to make sure we go home safe every single day.

need when it came to supplies. that the why we like to keep the focus on people seeing events firsthand because they are eyes and ears about the true toll this virus is taking. joining us now, a front line medical worker that's seen the pandemic in texas up close in mcallen and the south and el paso in the west. dr. joseph donnelly. dr. donnelly, you came from mcallen, you were there during the peak of the surge. what was that like? >> it was devastating. it's hard to describe in words. the medical infrastructure there is not like a major ma droppous droppous. it didn't take long to reach the breaking point down there. >> i understand you had to try and resuscitate a woman in the parking lot. how did that unfold? >> well, it was an 18-bed emergency room i was working in

and they had 32 covid patients in the department so you can imagine they are lined up in the hallways, this is literally nowhere to go. so we had to make the decision to go out and meet the ambulance and resuscitate the person there. >> what happened to her? >> that woman expired. she was 40 years old. she had been treated a week prior with covid and we can't admit everyone with covid. most people are able to go home, but some people are going to return and not do well. >> just 40 years old. i know how difficult it must be to be surrounded by that all day and to work as hard as you are all day. you said that you have to use the hallways for the overflow. how else are you accommodating patients that don't have beds? >> well, we use beds upstairs,

the pediatric ic us an adult icu there. anywhere you can put a patient, you'll put one assuming you have a nurse and physician to staff that area, and as i said, the resources are stretched very thin and there is no way to preposition enough people to accommodate a surge as has occurred down there. >> do you think there are people who have died or could have been saved if you had had more resources? >> absolutely. there are people who don't seek care right now because they're afraid to even come to the hospital, and there are also people in the hospital who are receiving the best care we can give, but sometimes it's not good enough. you've got some nurses taking care of six or eight people. icu-type patients that would normally be staffed at two patients to one nurse. >> there is a positive side to

this, which i think you've learned a lesson a lot of doctors in new york learned, as well which is that after weeks of treating patients like this, you learn how to do it better. tell us about that. >> well, we learned, you know, to treat aggressive and early when they come in sick and we don't want that oxygen to drop low for too long. there is no fda approved treatment for covid-19 but there are treatments available that are being used. the plasma, remdesivir, prony, those are helping. we're not reinventing the wheel but this is a disease unlike non-other i've seen where it can affect one person who will have no symptoms when they have it and another person will literally suffocate in a matter of days. >> doctor, i have to say, first of all, thank you for the work you're doing but you look like so many of the doctors i've had a chance to speak to. you look spent, you look tired.

you look like this is taking a toll on you. talk to me about that. >> it wears you out. >> how so? >> you kind of feel numb and then at the end of your shift, you're done. >> look, we're lucky to have you and the people of texas are lucky to have you. what's your message to people who still may not be taking this seriously, who still may look at this and say it just something like the flu? >> it's nothing like the flu. realize that you can make a difference, stay home, use your mask, wear it right, realize that maybe if you feel invincible, you may be the person that is choking on something and can't get an ambulance to come get you because they're all occupied for the surge.

so you can make a difference. >> dr. donnelly you're making a difference and we're grateful you are. thank you for telling us what you are seeing. it makes such a difference for people around the country to know what is happening on the ground there and how hard people are working to turn this around so thank you. >> thank you. we have more breaking news ahead. the centers for disease control today reports covid-19 can be a prolonged illness even among those recovering from the disease weeks after they were discharged. just ahead, i'm going to speak with a british professor that got it back in march and it lingered and lingered and lingered until now.

breaking news, even patients recovering from the pandemic, the after effects can linger for weeks and for relatively young people. paul gardener is a case in point, extreme case in point so-called long hole ller. he got it in marge and still can't shake it. he's a professor of tropical diseases in england. before diagnosed, he was healthy and fit. i spoke to him earlier. professor gardener, you call yourself a covid long hauler.

you first became sick in mid march. how are you doing now? >> so i'm beginning feel a little bit better. i am less sweaty. i have the attack s that lasts for three or four days and have reseeded. i have considerable fatigue. i'm exhausted the whole time. it's quite debilitating. i can't do much during the day, i have to go back to bed two or tree times to keep my energy out. >> you're in the position to be somebody that studies infectious diseases but has covid. have you had a chance to step back and analyze why this is happening with coronavirus? >> this is a mystery to me. some days i feel as though this is a post viral sin drum and that's what it looks like but

there are now things happening all the time but this is a he tile you see in some viral infections but it the fatigue and it comes back in very different ways so about three or four weeks ago, i had difficulty speaking and stringing words together and that apparently is recognized as what occurs to people with fatigue. it's quite frightening and taking me away from the things i enjoy which is running and being outside and i can't do any of those things. if i do any of them, it makes me feel quite unwell. >> you are an athlete and you have tried to exercise some. can you tell people, i mean, a real athlete like someone that does near extreme sports. what happens when you try to do anything? >> i can't. i walked six kilometers on

sunday and did ten minutes of yoga monday and tuesday i've been quite unwell. i went a little bit too far. so it really disabled me. my friend in australia said paul, you are trying to dominate this disease. you are trying to beat it and go back to your levels of exercise, but what you should do is try and accommodate the virus. you need to accommodate it. the virus is still in charge. >> you know, people should know you also have had malaria and more. you wrote recently quote this stuff is real. people are ill. doctors need to stop diagnosing this as apnxiety. we've messed up before, let not do it again with long-term covid-19 illness. what do you think will happen if experts continue to diagnose long-term covid illnesses such as yours? >> i think that doctors are not

yet familiar with a huge great spectrum of different conditions. i have fatigue. some of the people i know have very rapid heart rates. they can't -- a woman i know who is a boxer cannot walk up a flight of stairs without getting a very fast heart rate. it's a very different syndrome. so people are going to their doctors and the doctors don't recognize it and if they're not confident they will be dismissed. so it's really important that medics and people at home all believe what's happening to them because it is a very strange illness and it causes many very strange unexpected symptoms but they are real. >> strange, real and in some cases, just terrible. professor, you've been living with this for more than four months. we wish you the best. thanks for being with us.

>> thank you, sir. new cnn reporting tonight centered around president trump's anger and the confederate flag. what he's upset about and mad at just ahead when "360" continues. ? even if you're on a statin? statins may lower some risks, but may not be enough. that's why science delivered vascepa. for people who have persistent cardiovascular risk factors and take a statin only vascepa is clinically proven to provide 25% lower risk from heart attack and stroke. don't take vascepa if you're allergic to icosapent ethyl or any inactive ingredient in vascepa. tell your doctor about any medicines you take, and if you are allergic to fish or shellfish. stop taking vascepa and seek medical help if you have symptoms of an allergic reaction. serious side effects may occur like heart rhythm problems and bleeding. heart rhythm problems may occur in more people with persistent cardiovascular risk or who have had heart rhythm problems. tell your doctor if you have symptoms such as irregular beat, lightheadedness, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest discomfort or fainting. possible side effects include muscle and joint pain.
