♪ that saved a wretch like me >> a wonderful, wonderful man. we all will miss him. john lewis was 80 years old. may he rest in peace and may his memory be. outfront next the president pushing states to reopen. is that what got us here? plus the virus raging in florida where dozens of hospital icus are at capacity. yet the university of miami is opening to students in person in weeks. what is their logic? i'll ask. riots in multiple cities. protesters facing off with federal police. is this exactly what trump wants? let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett "outfront" tonight the breaking news dr. anthony fauci just warning on

cnn it is conceivable the united states could see tens of thousands of more deaths in the coming months. tens of thousands more americans dead all of them alive tonight. and yet the same time president trump seems to have forforgotten the pandemic and the government's failed response with some things he is saying tonight speaking to reporters urging states to reopen now. >> i really do believe a lot of the governors should be opening up states that they're not opening. >> urging governors to reopen. heard that before, right? sure remembered that in florida and georgia and texas. right now 900 americans are dying about every day from coronavirus. hospitalizations are near the record number set back in april. last week at least 16 states set a single day record in cases. as of tonight 22 states are heading in the wrong direction when it comes to cases and even states doing significantly better i mean significantly like they really had, you know,

smashed it is a word similar to the word the governor of new jersey used, well now that state is back in the red reporting at least a 50% increase in new cases in the past week compared to the prior week. those are exactly why 27 states have paused and are now rolling back their plans to reopen which is exactly what trump's task force has been recommending. >> first in the states that have been trying to open particularly the southern states which have gotten into trouble i would say the first thing is you don't necessarily have to go all the way back to a complete shutdown. you certainly have to call a pause and maybe even a backing up a bit you can maybe even take a step back. >> if you stop going to bars and indeed close the bars we can have as big an impact on decreasing new cases as what we had with sheltering in place.

>> pause, back up a bit. close the bars. that is the advice from the experts that trump claims he is listening to. >> they are briefing me. i'm meeting them. i just spoke to dr. fauci, dr. birx is right outside, and they're giving me all of -- everything they know as of this point in time. and i'm giving the information to you. >> that's not what he is doing tonight. he is saying the exact opposite of what his task force is recommending. the whole pause, close the bars, roll back. open up he said. he is also going against his own press secretary. >> some of these states blew through our criteria and phases and opened up some of the industries a little too quickly like bars. >> all right. admitting the truth. tonight trump quote wants a lot of governors to open up states that are not opening and he is

also taking it another step further and is bragging yet again about testing. >> the united states has conducted over 52 million tests. that's more than all of europe put together times two. nobody is even close. >> 52 million since march sounds good. it isn't. it was back in april after a group of harvard researchers said the united states needs to test 20 million people a day in order to safely reopen. we've done 52 million in four months. per day we are at 770,000. even the president's point person when it comes to testing admits this. >> are you happy where testing is right now? >> i'm never going to be happy until we have this under control. we're going to continue to push every day to improve the testing. >> speaking of testing we learned today that the

president's national security adviser robert o'brien tested positive. obviously office close to the president, highest ranking official in the administration to test positive. what are you learning about when they found out, how they found out, when the last time is he saw the president? >> well, we don't know exactly, erin. that is frankly surprising given the fact that as you said robert o'brien the national security adviser is the highest ranking administration official to test positive for this virus so far. he is someone who the white house press secretary said recently meets with the president twice a day very often and so the white house, though, is providing very few details about when o'brien tested positive and when the last time is that he actually met with the president. here's what the white house is saying so far in its statement about the matter, a statement attributed not to any official in particular we should note saying that o'brien has had mild symptoms and that he is self-ice lalting and there is no risk of exposure to the president or to the vice president. we haven't seen robert o'brien in public with the president in

over two weeks but a source has told us o'brien was at the white house as recently as this past thursday. we don't know whether he also met with the president during that time. we are told that o'brien left the white house quite abruptly that day. now, look. this isn't the first person in the president's orbit to have tested positive. we know of course there was the oval office valet, the vice president's press secretary also married to the president's senior adviser stephen miller. there was kimberly gilfoyle the president's top campaign official who is the girlfriend of the president's son. this is somebody who meets with the president almost every day according to our sources and certainly someone in frequent contact with him. it is notable that the white house isn't providing those details. we do know robert o'brien was recently on a trip to europe where he was meeting with his european counterparts not wearing a mask and then of course after that returned to the united states where we presume that he has since met with the president. now, as for the president himself, he did not seem concerned today. he said that he couldn't recall

when o'brien tested positive and he didn't know when the last time was that he had seen him only saying that he had not seen him recently and planned on giving him a call today. >> thank you very much. i want to go now to dr. jonathan reiner director of the cardiac katherine lab at gw university hospital who advised the medical team under president george w. bush and dr. larry brilliant epidemiologist and cnn medical analyst. let me start with you, dr. brilliant. there is a lot to talk about here but first the whole issue where you have dr. birx and dr. fauci saying maybe you need to pause or roll back or don't open the bars or all of these things and the president says, the governors need to open up the states. that they're not opening. is that a good idea right now? >> no it is a terrible idea. dr. fauci just said we might see tens of thousands of americans dying. it is not if it is just when now. the virus is everywhere in the

united states. we have to stop playing whack-a-mo and stop playing this game of pingponging back and forth between new york is hot now and now it's the southern states. now it's going to be the middle states. we have to have a national program, a coherent, singular national strategy. if we coordinated our activity and all of the states didn't close down but slowed down for four or five weeks, then we'd be in a position to just go after the individual outbreaks. this idea of opening up now in the worst pandemic of our lifetime at the highest point of it doesn't make any sense. >> this is a president who last week was saying it was patriotic to wear a mask and had for a very brief time changed his tone. he is now back to contradicting his own task force and his own top experts. >> you know, what we're seeing is this lack of clear cut national pathway to put the

pandemic away. we don't have a national testing strategy. we had a national strategy to open states carefully at -- in april, which was rapidly abandoned. a strategy that included a demonstrated two weeks of declining cases and adequate hospital and public health support within the states and that was rapidly abandoned at the urging, the tacit -- with the tacit approval and urging of the white house. and what is impossible to understand is how now with witnessing what's happened in the south and southwest, how the president could once again urge states to open and argue that somehow there is a political reason that states are staying closed. it is really unimaginable. >> dr. brilliant, as someone who was central to eradicating small

pox you have seen the scourge these viruses can put upon society. we've now learned the virus is one degree closer to the president tonight. i mentioned the national security adviser mr. o'brien highest ranking member of the trump administration yet to test positive. and they're saying, larry kudlow at least adviser to the president economically says the president thinks he got the virus from his daughter who also tested positive recently. even the people closest to you, you don't know who they are coming in contact with. you simply don't know which is incredible when these people are around the president of the united states. yet today there he was without a mask trailed by staffers and son-in-law, his press secretary not wearing masks. what is the risk to the president right now, dr. brilliant? >> first of all we wish our best to mr. o'brien and his daughter. it is a reminder that so much of this disease is transmitted in the house. it is true that daughters and sons transmit this disease to parents and grandparents and we

shouldn't forget that. i don't know what the risk is to the president. i do know his repeated reliance on the number of times a day he is tested as a way of saying he is safe is not correct. that is not going to prevent him getting the disease. that will allow him to find a disease, the doctors to diagnose it sooner and maybe put him on a course of treatment the best we have right now but it doesn't help you to ward off the disease to be tested all the time and therefore i would say that if he is in unprotected contact with no mask with anybody who's tested positive, it's a grave concern. >> and, dr. reiner, what does it mean? you would think people who are going to be around the president and we don't know the last time the national security adviser saw the president but you heard jeremy reporting. he usually can see him multiple times a day or at least daily. that they wouldn't even know in the white house, all the contacts that somebody like that

is something. obviously we wish him and his daughter well but they don't know if his daughter was out with friends or whatever and yet this person is with the president regularly. >> right. to protect the president you really need to create multiple circles of protection. the white house is as dr. brilliant mentioned, the white house is relying primarily on testing. and tests have false negatives and a test is only as good as the day it was done. it is a snap shot in time. if you really want to protect the president to the maximum everyone surrounding the president would be wearing a mask and i mean everyone including the president, you know, for large parts of his day. masks also protect the wearer. we haven't emphasized that enough. the president is 74 years of age and obese.

he does not want to get this. they're not doing everything they can to protect him. >> sounds like he is not letting them. dr. brilliant, we talked about the national security adviser. herman cain obviously former presidential candidate now trump supporter was at the trump rally in tulsa. there he is unmasked. he was there with everybody else there who didn't wear a mask. he was hospitalized less than two weeks later with coronavirus and is still there. we're talking now 25 days he is 74 years old same age as president trump. he is still in the hospital, being treated with oxygen for his lungs. his doctors say his other organs and systems are strong but i think people understand what i'm saying. this is pretty serious, 25 days in the hospital. what is his prognosis? >> i don't know because i don't know his underlying conditions are and what pre-existings he has. we wish him all the best of course. but in general, if you're 74

years old, you don't want to be in the hospital 25 days on oxygen. you'd rather be someplace else. it's a tragedy that he got the disease in the place that the president was warned against not having a rally like that. that would really be a national tragedy. >> it would and i want to remind everybody we have on video staffers of the president at that rally moving away the markers on the seats that would even have social distancing. they didn't want social distancing and they didn't want masks. the press secretary didn't wear a mask. herman kaine didn't. we don't know if he got it there. he sure could have. 25 days in the hospital on oxygen. hope that says something to everyone. thank you very much. next a major step toward a coronavirus vaccine. a growing number of americans say they may not get vaccinated. one of the nation's top infectious disease experts is my guest. plus major league baseball just started. could it already be over? and republicans are proposing a coronavirus relief

vaccine. the united states beginning the first phase three clinical trial here in the u.s. which is of course the final step before you would go for approval of a potential vaccine. this one is being developed by biotech company moderna and the national institutes of health. outfront now dr. ian lipkin director at columbia university. he contracted the virus himself back in february. he has been to wuhan trying to study the origins of it. he was also the virologist behind contagion actually with dr. brilliant who was in our previous segment. it is wonderful to have both of you. let me start by asking you about the vaccines. i know you studied them throughout your career and obviously there are various technologies now being used and hopefully more than one works and some will be more effective in some people than others. how big of a deal is it that the united states has begun the first phase three trial here for a potential vaccine? what do you think of this one? >> the speed at which we've gotten to this point is

unprecedented. there are something like 140 vaccines i personally know about that have been recognized by w.h.o. particularly excited about the rna based vaccines because they should do immunity rapidly and effectively because it presents the same way a virus does. a virus after all is nothing more than genetic material inside of a cell. so by jumping straight into putting it into a cell you'll look very much like the virus. we don't know how well any of these vaccines are going to perform but i would bet on this one. there are several others in the same category that i think are very encouraging. >> look, hearing you saying you would bet on it is a significant thing. dr. fauci just said a few moments ago that if enough americans get the vaccine it can end the pandemic. we are all aware there are questions about whether herd immunity will work with the

coronavirus and i know that would apply to the vaccine, too. obviously he had that optimistic thing to say. what i'm wondering about is this antivaccine sentiment. a poll by the associated press, this is in late may, said more than 50% of people said they would not get a coronavirus vaccine or were not sure if they would get a coronavirus vaccine. it's kind of a stunning thing. here is senator rand paul, who is a medical doctor and a sitting u.s. senator. here he is. >> i'm kind of pro vaccine but also pro freedom. there are millions of us now who are immune. they going to hold me down and stick a needle in my arm? they probably will because these people believe in the idea they are so right and that their cause is so righteous that they can inflict it on others. >> all right. how -- what is your response when you hear that from a doctor from a sitting senator and you know that is not an uncommon

sentiment? >> it is not uncommon but it is also not common. i've been struggling with antivaccine people since the late 1990s. initially with autism. in that case the mmr vaccine was thought by andrew wakefield to cause autism. now we have a new group with a film called "plandemic which is making similar claims as well. a vaccine is our best route out of this predicament. though during the interim, we can do a lot to -- just by doing simple things like closing bars where people don't distance, talk loudly above music, and become disinhibited, and wear masks. i mean, this is really very straight forward. i was in china in january. every place i went people were wearing masks. you saw how rapidly that

outbreak in wuhan was brought under control. we should be doing the same sorts of things here. there will be many vaccines that will be effective. i think this will be one of them. it has one drawback globally and that is because it is a based vaccine it is not stable in high temperatures. we need to get vaccines we can also send worldwide. >> so the lead virologist from the wuhan institute of virilology and you were mentioning you were there and i know you're familiar with the institute she has broken her silence on the origins of coronavirus. we all know there's been a lot of suggestions the virus originated in her lab. not that it was manufactured there but perhaps being studied and then leaked out. she told "science" magazine and i quote her, we know from historical experience, like hiv, the places where big, emerging diseases first break out are usually not their place of origin. we have done bat virus surveillance in hubei province for many years but have not

found bats in hubei or even the wider province carry any coronaviruses that are closely related to sars-cov-2. i don't think the spillover from bats to humans occurred in wuhan or hubei. what is your response to that? she is not only did it not come from the lab it may not have even come from wuhan. >> i know her very well. she is a thoughtful, conscientious, scientist. is it possible that there was a bat virus in someone's laboratory that was somehow inadvertently released? anything is possible after all. it is biology. on the other hand, the closest relationships described thus far are to bats that are r-2 sequences in animals found outside of wuhan. that doesn't mean you couldn't have had some sequences associated with a bat or some other animal but i would predict there is going to be some intermediate host through which this virus passed on its way to

becoming more pathogenic and trans misible in humans. furthermore, as i say, these are very good people. it just doesn't resonate with me somehow. i think back where there's been a release of a virus from any laboratory that caused major disease, i can think of a handful of instances and typically then it was restricted to one or two people. it seems to me that is very, very unlikely. >> all right. >> this virus was naturally moved through some intermeet olympiad host and from there to humans. >> i appreciate your time. thank you very much. you've been studying and focusing on where it actually came from. next could the major league baseball season already be over? >> i'm going to be honest with you. i'm scared. i really am. my level of concern went from

new tonight coronavirus cases in florida soaring more than 1500% since the state reopened in early may. the number of hospitalizations in the state has increased more than 80% since july 4th. it is not the only state with troubling signs. athena jones is outfront. >> reporter: even as the country reported the lowest number of new cases nationwide in nearly three weeks on sunday -- >> we're still chasing the virus. the virus is out there still spreading largely uncontained over most of this country. we don't have a national plan. >> reporter: total hospitalizations remain at peak levels and 29 states are reporting more deaths last week than the previous week. the country averaging more than 900 deaths a day for the past seven days. the highest such numbers since the beginning of june. >> you can see many people in many parts of the country going about their daily lives

unmasked. no longer concerned about 6-foot distancing, relaxing into their old, normal behaviors. >> reporter: with florida surpassing new york now second only to california in the number of covid cases, hospitals are strained. >> we just got a bunch of nurses from the government which is very helpful. the bed situation is dicey. >> reporter: the state seeing a 34% jump in covid infections among children in the last eight days and the rate of positive covid tests statewide remains high at 19%. the positivity rate also ticking up in california as hospitalizations rise. 37 of the state's 58 counties with significant infection rates remain on a watch list. meanwhile in texas the weather adding to the challenge as hurricane hanna bored down on the coast over the weekend. >> it is sweeping through an area that is the most challenged

area in the state for covid-19. >> reporter: medical staff in hard hit southern counties forced to battle a surge in cases in the midst of a storm. >> when the storm was coming in at 1:30 in the morning i was placing a tube in someone's chest when water started coming in through the retrofitted negative pressure rooms. >> reporter: this as some companies begin to brace for a pandemic that could drag well into next year google extending its work from home policy until at least july, 2021, a move that could prompt other businesses to follow suit. and just days after an abbreviated baseball season began, two games set for tonight now canceled including the miami marlins' home opener against the baltimore orioles. after several marlins players and staff tested positive for covid-19 while playing in philadelphia. >> i'll be honest with you. i'm scared. i really am. my level of concern went from about an 8 to a 12. >> reporter: and one more bit of

news out of florida. the teachers union, which is already suing governor ron desantis and other officials to try to stop the reopening of schools is calling the recent surge in covid-19 cases among children alarming the union's president calling on the governor and other state and local officials to start reporting how many students and staff are testing positive for the virus. the union vice president arguing parents deserve to know. >> thank you very much. outfront now the president of the university of miami, dr. julio frank, also the former minister of health of mexico, the former executive director of evidence and information for policy at the w.h.o., and the former dean of the harvard school of public health. so, dr. frank, obviously these are all numbers you know, the number of cases up 1500% since may. hospitalizations up 80% since july 4th. miami-dade county alone nine hospitals have hit icu capacity. seven others at 90% capacity or more. this is a list you know very well. but you have extensive medical expertise and you've come to a

different conclusion than many other schools. you are committing to in-person classes this fall. tell me why. >> well, we are committed to a very, very detailed strategy that first of all gives people a choice, because there are different needs. we call this, our strategy is a responsive strategy that tries to ascertain what are the needs of different people and tries to stay away from all open or all closed. so a number of people are going to be fully online. in fact, about close to 30% of under graduate students. that gives us an opportunity to detensify. we have a strict protocol in place that if we apply the measures generally we'll have a safe semester but it requires a

lot of very, very micro planning with a lot of attention to detail and a lot of responsiveness to different needs of different people >> i know that your students had to pick today i believe today was the deadline for them whether they're going to be in person or online. i know last year you had about 17,800 students. so of the students you have now, are you giving me the number that 70% of them are choosing in person or, you know, how many have you heard from? >> yes. you know, i can say, it's not that people will come back to what used to be the campus experience. this is a very different model. it is not a black and white. first of all, it is mostly a hybrid model. i call it a hybrid protected model. it is hybrid because a lot of the instruction is virtual even if they're on campus. it is protected because it is implemented with a number of

very clear protocols, mandatory use of face masks, a lot of peer pressure on that. a number of what we call public health ambassadors around their classmates trying to make sure that everyone is compliant. we're also designating for those students who live on campus a public health representative. it is the same concept as a designated driver, someone who looks after his or her classmates so that -- to prevent unhealthy behavior. all of the spaces have been engineered. we have outdoor tents. it is a very detailed -- >> i'm sure there are a lot of students and a lot of schools around the country wish their schools were doing similar with this level of micro detail. i want to give awe chance to respond to some of your own professors though. one of them scott evans said he is not in any risk category.

he told the miami herald and i quote him i personally don't feel safe teaching face to face. there is so much uncertainty about this disease and its effects that i don't feel comfortable being exposed. another professor told your student newspaper, it's unconscionable that um's higher administration is basically telling the faculty get in that classroom. hope you don't die. what do you say to them? obviously, they're not buying the micro level of detail you are putting out there. >> right. our decision making is based on evidence. what happens in pandemics and this is what my training has taught me is what you are seeing today is the consequence of events that started two or three weeks ago and about three weeks ago the beginning of july miami-dade county instituted a number of measures. those measures which include mandatory mask use, including

the people being issued citations if they do not wear a mask, closure of bars, a number of measures we know work, those started. that is why we're seeing now already in south florida that the number of the daily count of cases has plateaued. though it is still at a high level it has plateaued. we're now coming down. when you look at how it is expected to -- assuming those measures continue to be enforced vigorously -- then i think we can provide a safe experience. the best example is our hospitals. we have had very, very few of our own staff being infected. it shows if you have the protective equipment and follow protocols you can operate safely. that is the key. >> all right. as i said, i know that not only your own students but many around the country who hope this

works so they also can go back to school. dr. frank, thanks so much for your time. i appreciate it. >> thank you. next the extra unemployment benefit. it is running out. that's it. more than 25 million americans were getting those checks. negotiations happening as we speak. riots declared in multiple cities, protesters clark with federal police. is all of this playing into president trump's hands? none are proven stronger or more effective against pain than salonpas patch large there's surprising power in this patch salonpas dependable, powerful relief. hisamitsu.

obviously these expire this week. where is this headed? >> reporter: it is a convergence of several events which don't look good for getting something done within one week. democrats have their own $3 trillion on unemployment. specifically they want to extend the $600 benefit through the end of the year. republicans in a very different place on that. that is just one of a myriad of items where they are very, very far apart. the big question is, what can democrats and the administration start to work toward some type of path on? we should find out shortly. speaker nancy pelosi, senator schumer are in pelosi's office right now meeting with the treasury secretary steve mnuchin, white house chief of staff mark meadows. this is the first real meeting they've had since the republican proposal has been presented. but there is no question about it, erin. there is a lot of work to do and such little time to actually do it. real questions right now whether there is any chance they can stop those benefits from lapsing at the end of the week. >> and the bill doesn't have those benefits but a $1.75 billion new fbi building in it. this is, would seem

inappropriate to put a pork in a bill like this. that is what we see. >> reporter: this has been a major flash point of republican and republican negotiations over the course of the last several days between the white house and senate republicans and if you want to know how senate republicans really feel about it take a listen to what senate majority leader mitch mcconnell had to say. >> well, regarding that proposal obviously we had to have an agreement with the administration in order to get started. and they'll have to answer the question of why they insisted on that provision. >> reporter: the majority leader is not very loose with his words but he has very clear intent with what he was saying there which is this is the administration's proposal. the administration tried to force this proposal into these negotiations i am told multiple times over the last several weeks. senator graham the chairman of the judiciary committee said earlier today i just don't know why we're doing this. erin? >> thank you very much, phil. certainly seems to be even if it is something that has a lot of merit which it may, this wouldn't be the appropriate bill to put it in.

many people interviewed by media said they came to the protests because of what's happening in portland. the protest itself was billed as something in solidarity with portland and so we're today, i requested the department of homeland security since there was no actions directed against the federal property to ask them to remove the stand by team that they have because i believe that it's escalated things here in seattle. we've seen violence night after night in portland. we don't want that happening in seattle. >> so you think that stand by and the way it handled escalated these things? let me ask you, mayor, because some of these images are ugly. a starbucks destroyed in the protest, construction site for juvenile detention facility set on fire and officers were burned when protesters threw explosive devices at them and look, a lot of what is happening here is not peaceful. this is just violent and destructive and the president says he thinks mayors like you are refusing his help and those

think, the number one thing we can do to bring peace to the streets in seattle and across america is bring more justice to the systems and after the murder of george floyd, millions of people turned out across this country demanding that we do better, that we dismantle systems of racial inequality and systemic racism and improve policing and provide more community health and education and everything in a community. that's what we're focused on here. how do we make broad investments in the black community and communities of color so they have access to affordable housing and health care and economic opportunity? how do we make sure and reimagine policing so if someone calls 911, they get the help they need. sometimes that's a police officer. sometimes it's not. >> all right. i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. have a good evening. >> you, too. we remember an icon next, congressman john lewis. when you shop for your home at wayfair,
