strategy. >> something hopefully we can use for everything else, for schools, like we started the show. wake up in the morning, spit on a special piece of paper, two minutes later, you know. you're sick, you don't spread. thank you for joining us. have a good, safe weekend. you can watch "outfront" any time on cnn go. anderson starts now. very good friday evening to you, anderson is off. we begin with something he said awhile back that sadly fits this moment. there is, he said, no better b.s. detector than the coronavirus. it has a way of exposing falsehoods, the magical thinking, the politicized nonsense now surrounding it and it does so with brutal simplicity. by taking people's lives. there is no better embodiment of this notion than the president of the united states today. he's been reading a lot of words

and even drawing praise for it about wearing a mask for instance and social distancing but he neither wrote them nor meant them and we know that by his actions, by these actions, by this video of him arriving today in tampa, florida. >> thank you very much, everybody. that's really great. thank you. thank you for being here. it's a good crowd. >> a good crowd he says. note, though, no social distancing. no masks. he traveled to tampa in part for a round table on the virus. this is how we end this week, a week in which the virus went right on doing what it does. a week that saw the death toll pass 150,000 americans and infections topped 4 .5 million. against that backdrop, the house subcommittee on the coronavirus crisis heard from top members of the president's task force.

what lawmakers heard is falsehoods, false hopes and do as i say, not as i do, yes, that covid-19 unfortunately thrives on such as the president's insincere call for mask wearing. >> i am appealing to all americans to be part of the public health solution. wearing a simple mask properly, it's critical to limit the transmission. be smart about social distancing and being in crowded spaces. >> yet, after all this, try telling it to the boss who also appeared at a crowded mask free event in texas this week and whose mask free visit to florida today comes just a day after the death of his friend and surrogate hermann cane. he fell ill with the virus after his rally. the president's trump and

behavior he modelled comes in the week of louie gohmert's diagnosis and bizarre speculation covering his face actually made him sick. >> i can't help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place that if i might have put some germs, some of the virus onto the mask and breathed it in. >> well, that's garage and it was debunked today. >> does wearing a mask give people covid-19? >> does wearing a mask give it -- no. not to my knowledge. >> okay. >> he had a smile when he said it. also debunked, the president's repeated defense of hydroxychloroquine and a doctor who totes it. a doctor also happens to believe women can be impregnated by witches and spirits in their dreams. we're not making this up.

>> i was very impressed with her and other doctors that stood with her. i think she made sense but i know nothing about her. i saw her making a statement with very respected doctors. she was not alone. she was making this statement about hydroxychloroquine with other doctors that swear by it. they think it's great. she was not alone. >> that's the president just two days ago so listen to the facts, listen to the experts. here is dr. fauci today. >> should people take hydroxychloroquine as a cure for covid-19? >> the overwhelming cumulative evidence of properly conducted randomized control trials indicate no therapeutic effectiveness for hydroxychloroquine. >> that's how science works. so dr. fauci was later asked about the one study that the president likes to tote in support of the drug and debunked that talking point, as well. >> the henry ford hospital study

that was published was a non-controlled rstudy, those receiving hydroxychloroquine were receiving steroids which we know gives a clear benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease. so that study is a ford study and i think anyone that examines it carefully, it is not a randomized placebo controlled study. >> the president, as you know, repeatedly claims that testing is over rated, that it is testing that makes the country look bad and if you somehow did less testing, there would be fewer infections. here is yet, another member of the president's own coronavirus task force. >> testing is an essential component of america's public health response to covid-19. testing enables clinical

decision making. it herolds impending outbreaks and informs allocation and insists in minimizing economic and social disruption. >> the president apparently is not listening to folks like that employ employed by his own administration. testing is how south korea for example kept it's death toll below 300 without ever having to fully shut down the economy. it is how germany kept it own outbreak in check and something this country has never gotten a handle on nationally, never developed a national strategy to address. why would you when the president himself calls it over rated and why test for something the president says has said repeatedly will just go away? >> it's going to disappear. one day it's like a miracle. it will disappear. it will go away. you know, it is going away and it will go away and we'll have a great victory. it going to go away hopefully at

the end of the month and if not, hopefully soon after that. >> i think what happens is it's going to go away. this is going to go away. >> i feel about vaccines how i feel about tests. this is going to go away without a vaccine. >> even without it, it goes away. >> i think at some point that's going to sort of just disappear, i hope. >> you still believe so? disappear? >> i do. i do. sure, at some point. it going to disappear. i'll say it again. the virus will disappear. you know, i say it going to disappear which that's terrible. it's true. it's going to d g ting to disap >> it not true. it goes without saying. never has been. and it more than a little crazy that anyone let alone the president should need to be reminded but he does and today he was. >> is covid-19 going to magically disappear dr. fauci? >> i do not believe it would disappear because it's such a highly transmissible virus. it unlikely it going to

disappear. >> there you have it. not going to disappear. that's science. in a sad but somehow fitting capper on the week, the president just this evening made this remarkable statement with the gaslight turned up to 11. >> well, if you look at other countries, other countries are doing terribly. i will say this proportionately relatively when you look at the nursing home situation, it's a tribute to your governor and government, the job they've done. i think we're doing really well in florida. >> yeah, it not true in florida, it's not true nationally in this country. it an expanding crisis. deaths in florida hitting a new high today for the fourth day in a row. joining us now is dr. eileen marty, infectious disease specialist at florida international university and cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. sanjay, we've talked so many times about this and i sense

your patients thinning with the nation's response here. u understandable given your understanding on this. on a day with cases past 44.5 million in this country, the president once again goes to an event, doesn't wear a mask, no social distancing. how did we get here and how do we get out of this situation without presidential leadership, which doesn't appear to be coming? >> well, you know, as far as how we got here, jim, i think it's really, you know, the comments he just made. there is a systemic minimizing that's been deliberate of this disease since almost the very beginning. we lost more than a month of february where we basically ignored this and the virus continued to spread and it become more wide spread, we talked about doing less testing instead of more. there is ten times as many people who have been infected as we've counted. that's how we got here. the original sin is that we minimized this and didn't test as a result and here we are.

how can we get out? there is countries around the world that have been able to bring their numbers down to very manageable, one in a million or one in 100,000 at least new infections per day. that would be 350 new infections per day in the quiunited states. that would be containment mode. they did the basics, mask wearing, physical distancing, avoiding the highest risk situation, indoors clustered together without a mask like bars and restaurants and avoiding big gatherings and washing hands. it sounds silly because we're used to wanting a purple pill or whatever, a magical cure but this works, jim, as we've seen around the world. >> yeah, testing and contact tracing, too, on a large scale. dr. marty, florida, as you know, set a new record for coronavirus deaths for the fourth straight day. you saw the president traveling down there. he says i think we're doing really well in florida. you know the actual situation. tell folks who are watching what the reality is on the ground

there. >> well, the reality is absolutely heartbreaking. we've had children die. we've had very high incidents of kawasaki disease and in miami-dade alone, 118,400 odd people that have tested positive and over 500 individuals in our icu. it an excruciatingly challenging situation right now. >> yeah. we see it every day. sanjay, you have a hill hearing today, dr. fauci and dr. redfield and repeatedly debunking a series of the president's false claims. i wonder, they know the truth here. is that changing the policy? right? i mean, is the federal government, is the administration given that these three experts work for

administration, is it somehow able to develop a policy without the president's leadership? >> i think it's very hard, jim. it's surprising. it shocking, frankly. i wouldn't have predicted this at this point but you have hearings today in the middle of a pandemic that's the worst public health crisis in the world and getting worse in the quit united states, and i couldn't believe how much of that was politicalizing the science and doctors having to fact check. we should be talking about significant breakthroughs in testing. we should be talking about real life ways of getting kids back to school, like how is that going to happen safely? instead, there is this back and forth are protests that danger rus -- dangerous or not? it doesn't matter. people clustered together, the virus will spread. it's basic viral dynamics and it doesn't matter if you're a doctor or whatever, at this point people understand that i

think. the fact they are not acting on it is an abs luolute reflection the fact this is a lack of leadership. there is no reason we need to be in this mess right now. >> dr. -- >> jim, if i could add. >> please. >> well, i just -- sanjay is absolutely right. there is a huge problem with the perception that certain leaders are giving to this outbreak, which confuses the public, and because of not providing the right perception, this is a super dangerous virus and we all must cooperate and help one another get past this, and when we don't act that way, when we are not unified in being against the virus instead of fighting amongst ourselves, then we're splitting ourselves up and setting ourselves up for failure, jim. >> yeah, so all those things you want and every expert doctor

wants, every country that has a handle on this has done, it's not happening here nationally and frankly, sanjay, i don't know that we're going to see that happening. you, sanjay, used the metaphor of half treating a sick patient, giving them half or less than half of the medicine they need and they never get better. is that where this country is until you hope you get a working vaccine? >> yeah, i think that we have applied half measures, you know, sort of all long and that goes back to the original sin of minimizing this. we held pressure on the wound thinking the patient would heal on their own instead of taking care of the underlying problem. if you put up the five things, the basic five things which again, people may say this is silly. we're talking about five things of mask wearing, of social distancing, not going to bars. if we did this for three weeks, okay? we should make a pledge now. if the country did this for three weeks, honestly, diligently and wide spread,

three weeks, we would be in a very different position. forget about whether or not your political elected leader is telling you to do it. we're all in this together. we really are nowhere and no point in our lives have we all been in this together like we are right now. we are so dependant upon each other. for three weeks do these simple things and we'll be having a different conversation, jim. >> it would be great to see it. great if folks listen. thanks so much. >> i'd like to add that if we do this, then maybe we can open schools safely because we've got to get the viral burden down so that we can do that. >> that's key. that comes first. dr. marty, thanks to you, as well. just ahead this hour an update on vaccines and treatments and perspective on their prospects from a researcher with decades of experience in the field. later, a presidential historian's take on where we are as a country with the president

speculating about postponing the election and casting doubt on the entire process. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so when it comes to screening for colon cancer, don't wait. because when caught early, it's more treatable. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your prescriber if cologuard is right for you. i'm on it. that's a step in the right direction.

i'm on it. walk to end alzheimer's alzheis everywhere.tion on every sidewalk, track, and trail across this country. all of us are raising funds for one goal: a world without alzheimer's and all other dementia.

because this disease isn't waiting, neither are you. take the first step on your walk right now. go to alz dot org slash walk. welcome back. a new forecast projects by the 22nd of august, three weeks from now the covid death toll in the country will top 173,000, 20,000 more. it comes at the end of another day of more than 1,000 fatalities and florida surpassing its daily high for the fourth straight day. set against that grim news is a number of promising developments we should note in both treating and preventing the disease. we'll speak about that in a moment. first, a report from cnn's elizabeth cohen. >> the medical profession is getting smarter every week and eventually, they will be armed

with an amazing therapeutics. >> that's bill gates on cnn's global town hall coronavirus facts and fears. the bill and melinda gates foundation and partners are funding up to $125 million in research for coronavirus treatments. for now, doctors are mostly using treatments that already exist for other diseases. studies show blood thinners help fight clots common amongst covid patients and steroids reduce the risk of dying and unpublished data says receiving plasma or blood from someone that recovered from coronavirus reduces the risk of dying. as far as new weapons against covid-19, there is just one approved treatment, remdesivir, a study published in may shows this shaves four days off a hospital stay. while that's helpful, that's not enough. there is a need for more new coronavirus treatments. >> therapeutics is the most

promising and not talked about as much as vaccines because if you have multiple therapeutics between them are reducing the death rate and the amount of serious sickness by over 80%, probably over 90% that does start to reduce the horrific burden. >> reporter: there are many in the pipeline. dr. fan sis cofrancis and direc >> the use of antibodies help recover and turned into products. >> reporter: dozens of companies are developing the drugs. they call the strongest antibodies that fight off covid-19. some look so promising they are in phase three testing on coronavirus patients like jennifer burnt an arizona nurse that got infected. >> i've seen people sick from that i have ru this virus. i had a friend struggle for his

life with this virus. i had patients in the hospital who are scared because their family can't be there at an awful time in their life. >> reporter: the federal government rewarded regeneron. >> they can have 70 to 300,000 doses, viles of this by the end of the summer or early fall. >> reporter: a different approach, anti viral drugs that directly attack the virus. and researchers are also studying drugs that affect the rna, the actual genetic material. it leads to insights how we combat the virus so while we wait for a vaccine and after, doctors can help patients with covid-1 covid-19. >> some promising signs there. perspective now from public health expert and former harvard professor william hazeltine and he's author of "family guide to

covid, answers for parents, grandparents and children." professor, thanks for coming on. you heard bill gates say in his view, therapeutics could be as important as a vaccine to control thing outbreling this o. can you agree? >> i definitely agree. i'm a veteran of the aids war. i came up with combination chemotherapy and in absence of the vaccine, it's done wonders. we can use it for this virus. if i were a betting person, i would bet 95% on drugs and 50% vaccines is the most effective way to handle this disease. we should make drugs that not only treat and cure people, we can have drugs that prevent infection, just like we now have for hiv. drugs that prevent infection.

>> yeah, it interesting because as you know yourself well, that's a disease that there never was a vaccine developed for. so of these methods so far, is there one you mind evfind parti promising. >> the antibodies will be the first. there is advantages and disadvantages that are expensive to make. they have to be given by i.v. the virus gets resistant to them relatively quickly. i'm actually more in favor of small chemical drugs that work to inhibit the processes the virus absolutely needs. that's what has worked for hiv and i think that will work for many of the viruses. it another respiratory virus that babies get and it helps them. so i think there are many, many things we can do. >> okay. >> and are now doing and that's coming soon. >> so let's talk about vaccines. you heard the head of the operation warp speed say he expects a vaccine to be as effective as 90% and dr. fauci

injecting some skepticism but he said workable vaccine possibly by the end of this year, are you as hopeful? >> i think we'll have a vaccine. how well it works and how safe it is a question. he worked for 30 years on problems like hiv and malaria. you should never vote against nature. respiratory viruses are tricky. this is a coronavirus like a cold virus. you can't under estimate how tricky it is. that's why my bet is not 100% and not even 90%. i would say 50% given how complex these infections are. these are complex infections. >> smart to be skeptical

throughout. finally, quickly, do you believe this country can reliably get a vaccine to all the people who need it when it comes out? >> you know, that is a big question. we've seen the massive failures on testing, which you've talked about earlier in the program. we've seen the massive problems with getting a country to work as one, which we will need, you know, getting a vaccine to people especially in these times where there is a lot of anti vaccers and our president was an anti vaccer is going to be tricky. you got to use care and persuasi persuasion. >> yeah. >> not the strongest tools in the tool box today. >> let's hope we get there. william hazeltine, thanks very much. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> just ahead this hour, gary tuchman takes us to the first day of school at a district in georgia that decided to open classroom doors without a firm mask mandate and despite the concerns of parents and children, and the emotions get

children had tested negative prior to arrival. gary tuchman is in georgia tonight and spoke with children and parents at a school district that just opened doors, as well and where the tensions over that decision are running high. >> reporter: she isn't ser of sending her son back to school is a good idea but 11-year-old christopher says he's ready to start sixth grade and to do it in person so when the school bus arrived in the small georgia town of jefferson, he boarded with books on his back and mask on his face and prepared to start his middle school career in this most unusual time. are you sad? christopher's mother tells me yes, i'm sad and worried about my son going to school. as the bus pulls away, there is at least one student not on it, christopher's sister. she was going to start eighth grade. but at the last minute was too frightened to go. >> tell me why it scary.

>> because i don't want to go because i'm scared of getting it and -- [crying] >> reporter: it okay. loath lots of children are scared. it's okay. your mom is nice to let you stay home. do you agree? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: your brother went to school today. he'll tell you how it is. we wish you the best. just up the road at the high school, students gathering and hugging like they would any year on the first day. many of them wearing masks. just as many if not more not wearing any face coverings. at the elementary school, parents dropping off their children. most of whom seem to have masks. but not all. the fact is while masks are mandated on the district school buses for students and drivers, there is no mandate for mask wearing in the actual schools for students or teachers. the jefferson city board of education has guidelines in

place designed to keep the students safer and masks are handed out, but actually wearing them is not required. only strongly recommended. we talked to high school seniors hope and raleigh meadows before they returned to school. >> i'm ready to be back like in person learning but it is kind of scary not knowing what it's going to be like. >> i think i would feel better about it if we had strong ehrmann daer smz mandates to keep the school safe. >> reporter: they started on an line petition asking to mandate masks. >> i'm scared not just for myself but other teachers that are at our school, elderly and pregnant and the people that you could be bringing it home to. some people live with grandparents of high risk if they got the virus. >> our country was built on freedom. >> reporter: in response to that petition, sophomore brett kelly started his own with the support of his older high school sister and father. his petition declaring mask wearing should be a choice. >> i think it's a freedom issue

because it's slowly taking our rights away. >> reporter: your right not to wear a mask? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: would you feel less safe if i didn't have my mask on? >> no, we're outside. >> reporter: what if we're inside? >> no, i would probably be okay, yeah. >> reporter: the district superintendent did not want to talk on camera but told nuls a written statement they are confident in their plans and regarding masks, we are following the guidelines established by the cdc and georgia department of public health in recommending the use of face coverings as one effect ti tive measure. meanwhile, yolanda pain is not going to let her fourth grade son go back to school. they are part of the 5% that have chosen to learn remotely. her father passed away from covid two months ago and her son josh has asthma. >> i can't take the risk of sending him back to school and getting covid. >> reporter: gary tuchman joins

us now. the experience of the family at the beginning of the story struck a chord because i hear the disagreements all the time within a family. not only how the parents decide how children. how are they doing now? >> reporter: well, that's right, jim. we talked to christopher and sharelli a short time ago. when he went to school today, he was very worried some of his friends weren't there, also. but he says all and all it was cool and it went better than expected but sharelli the eighth grader is still sad and scared and doesn't want to go back so her mother tells us that starting monday, they will petition the board of education for her to have remote learning. jim? >> good for them. wish them luck. thanks very much. still to come, president trump's scare tactics around mail in balloting up ended in testimony today but will an under performing post office run by a trump donor we should mention do what russians and

possibility of foreign actors rigging elections by way of mail in ballots, something president trump has repeatedly said will happen and that attorney general william barr seconded. president trump was at it again today warning of quote the greatest election disaster in history and one of his top advisors steven miller echoed that line, as well. >> nobody who mails in a ballot has their identity confirmed. nobody checks to see if they are even a u.s. citizen. think about that. any foreign national, foreign election interference can mail in a ballot and nobody even verifies if they are a citizen of the quite of america. >> yeah, he's lying. keeping them honest. not true. in states that already conduct mass mail in voting, mailer id is confirmed through signature matches or use of driver's license numbers, also, most ballot envelopes have unique bar

codes. there is another worry and that's the u.s. postal service. "the washington post" reports it's experiencing days long backlogs after a top trump donor cut costs in areas including over time pay and sorting machines. some who work in the service fear this could hamper timely delivery of ballots. the post also says some worry the postmaster general could be tipping the electoral scales for his boss. that's concerning. in a statement, the postal service says that mail is not slowing down and they call the idea the postmaster general would make decisions at the direction of the president quote wholly misplaced and off base. but we'll see. here with their perspective, a cnn presidential historian and co-author of impeachment in american history and van jones, a commentator and special advisor to president obama. so, van, these voter fraud claims by president trump and his allies are false. let's say that. let say it repeatedly.

the sad fact they could have an impact on the election and i want to note this, the dhs, which is monitoring foreign threats to this election, it is noting the following, mail in voting has become an issue among partisan political voices which makes it a target for threat actors to exploit interestingly what the president himself is doing. tell us how concerned you are about the president interfering with the results of this election. >> look, i mean, i'm very concerned. look, these tweets on this topic become like termites eating into the floorboard of democracy. once you undermine public confidence in the election, you undermine public confidence in the legitimacy of our government itself. that's how countries wind up tail spinning into civil wars and that kind of stuff. you're messing with the fundamental safety and security

of the country itself and there is no reason to do that because we have mail in ballots and absentee ballots across the country. we've been doing it for better or worse for a very, very long time and there is zero evidence, no evidence that there is any, any more fraud or abuse of that than any other system. you can't even get the absentee ballot if you don't have the right i.d. those who live in places like california, this is literally insane talk. it makes no sense at all but very, very dangerous. >> not to mention the experience of the u.s. military for decades. tim, sitting president has never done anything like to the extent of what the president is doing right now to attack public confidence in an approaching election, which is, of course, taking part. compare him to the tactics of president nixon, how do they compare in terms of scale, extent and damage?

>> oh, there is no -- i mean, i'm no great fan of richard nixon's domestic activities but there is no comparison. we have no precedent of a presidential candidate predicting massive voter fraud in advance of a presidential election. there is no precedent for this. and there is a good reason for it. until donald j. trump we've not had someone representing a major party who is willing to subvert the institutions of our democracy for the sake of his own political advancement. this is a big deal. and no one has done this before. >> and listen, it extends through a whole host of voter suppression efforts. van, how should vice president biden and his campaign handle this in the runup to the election now, building confidence in the process but also, president trump would lose and refuse to concede claiming a

rigged election. >> well, listen, let's hope it does not come to that. i hope the election results are so clear and decisive you don't have that situation. what i do believe is important is not just for biden but for all responsible political actors on both sides of the aislehe im elections. you need to hear from veterans and others our elections are sacred and well run. americans go from here around the world to monitor other elections. that's how good we are at elections. okay? so we need to hear from the entire civil society to defend our elections and these kinds of smear attacks. >> and we did. to be clear, see, after the president suggested delaying the election, you saw rare bipartisan rejection of that. even mitch mcconnell saying in no uncertain terms, this election will happen on november

3rd. tim, the fact is it wouldn't be the first time if we get there you would have a contested election in the u.s. we don't have to be very old to remember the hanging chads in florida going to the supreme court in a very divided decision in the supreme court. tell us what that taught us because you do have a real challenge here, right? you have an election in the midst of a pacndemic with more mail in voting than you had before and maybe a system overwhelmed by it. >> now, let's keep in mind that we taxpayers paid for an investigation of the 2016 election. some people may forget, although it only been two years that president trump put together an effort led by chris, former secretary of state of the state of kansas investigate what were 2.8 million fraudulent votes. what did they find? nothing. we invested in the nature of our

electoral system and our federal government did it and it's led by donald j. trump. you don't need to go back to 2000 or 1960 to see we don't have a perfect system, it's one that you can trust. >> good point and reminder, it's really the states and localities that do the election and push back against the president's investigation on that false claim about 2016. let's see if the system stands up to it this time. thanks to both of you. more breaking news ahead, with florida already battered by the pandemic, part of the state's east coast is under a hurricane warning. details when "360" continues. ♪
