and he was a group of dig nuitaries from ohio scheduled to meet the president on the tarmac in cleveland and he immediately went back to do his home in cederville, ohio, said he's going to quarantine for 14 days. and he's going to get a second test to confirm this was indeed a true positive. ohio was one of the most agre aggressive when it came to combatting the coronavirus crisis. michael dewine, very much a tactical stutitian and one of the governor whose followed the science in making decisions about shutting down various businesses and things along those lines. i should point out this event that's about to take place in collide, ohio at the whirlpool factory an hour from cleveland, and you can see they're taking strict precautions. every single one of us was give

an temperature check. we had to ask a series of questions about potential expoegser to the coronavirus. and everyone must have a mask on the entire time. they do have chairs purposely socially distant to keep people away from each other. we should point out that one of the president's most ardent supporters, jim jordan of ohio, the congressman from ohio, he's in the crowd and among those wearing a mask. you can see this is something the administration is taking much more seriously than they have over the past few months and the president set to speak here now in just a couple of hours. >> all right. thank you so much. i will say i do see people talking to each other with maskss on, but closely behind you. i think they think it's either or. but really both is safest. thank you so much. the president is once again minimizing the severity of the pandemic and doing it just hours after the nation reported for a second time in a row, more than

1300 deaths from coronavirus in a single day. listen on the president in this radio interview he gave today. >> looking back on this awful plague that's now killed almost 160,000 americans, there were some missteps. don't you wish you had done some things differently? >> first of all the governors run their states. that's the way it's supposed to be. and whether you call it federalist or anything else. we've had great governors and governors that didn't do as well. but what i did with ventilators and getting people equipment because the governors were not stocked, nobody has ever done a better job. we've done a great job and we haven't been rewarded -- >> so, you don't admit -- >> now, the president admits no mistakes in his administration's handling of the crisis. despite nearly 160,000 deaths in five months. no national testing strategy, no tracing strategy and the rate of

positive test hospitalizations, deaths rising and rising. instead, he is blaming governors and giving false hope about a vaccine and specifically pinpointing a certain date on the calendar. >> are you optimistic that will happen and will that give you a boost in the election? >> on the vaccine? i am. i'm optimistic it will be probably around that date. i believe we'll have the vaccine by the end of the year, certainly but by that date, certainly. i think so. >> november 3rd is, of course, the election and the president is giving this false hope because even the most optimistic scientists say late this year or early next year when a vaccine is ready and even then not widely available for many months. that is the best case scenario. and all of this as two of the task force doctors warn of more troubles coming for nine cities

in california's central valley. many school districts are opting to keep their kids home for school this year because of the pandemic. cnn has tallied at least 7 million american students are beginning their classes online. and just break this down for us because where is this happening? is it big cities primarily making this choice? >> it's really all over and it's interesting because you have the president calling for schools to be open, but the reality, the picture in this country right now is showing millions of kids will not be going to school. now, let's take a look at the numbers right now. of the 101 largest school districts, 7 million students, 12 are starting with a hybrid model and 17 with all online or in person. and four have yet to finalize a plan. lelts rrp take a look at the 25 largest school districts. all but five have announced they're starting remotely.

you heard the news out of chicago and waiting for a definitive plan out of new york sitpy and it has to do with [ inaudible ] >> oh, no, i think we have lost -- we have lost her signal there. we're going to try to check back win her. but in the meantime, the cdc has issued guidance on safety in schools. they, quote, have an important role in slowing the spread of diseases to help insure students have safe and healthy learn nothing environments. an important role that some schools seem to perhaps not quite understand. take a look at this picture. this is in georgia where kids are starting to go back to school this week. how many mask dooz you see? we were able to take a look at that without some of the faces fuzzed out and i think there were about four. it's not supposed to be a where's waldo type of game. you're supposed to see all of these masks.

a school nurse in georgia who resigned over her coronavirus fears. what did you think when you saw that picture in this county where you worked? >> you're welcome. thank you so much for having me on your program today. >> yes, of courses, thank you for coming on. i wonder when you saw that photo, because you decided some time ago or prior to this photo coming out that this was the decision you needed to make for your health and out of concerns for the health of others. when you saw this photo, how did that i guess, make you think about the decision you had made to no longer be a nurse? >> well, certainly i was horrified. it did give me some sense of validation. knowing that i made the right decision butted of course my primary focus, since i am in

pediatrics is the children. so, of course i was worried for them and their families and the staff members at the school. but i still remain a nurse, whether or not i'm in the clinic or not. >> so, of courses, you're still a nurse, whether in the clinic or not. just tell us, even before this photo, when you decided i'm not going back, tell us what that decision was like. how did you make that decision. >> it was a culmination of things that started when we were allowed to go back to our clinics to finish the school year and i walked in the building and unfortunately, there were many people without masks on. and they were not practicing social distancing. and unfortunately, it's a very politically and financially motivated in that district. so, i was concerned that might be the cases. it initially started with that and the board's decision to make

masks a, quote, personal choice and social distancing wouldn't be practical. contrary to popular belief, i was not only concerned for myself and my family, but i could not imagine giving care to, especially my special needs community of students with the possibility of infecting them. >> yeah, because that's the realization, right? how would you feel if you were to infect someone? and even if they're all right, but someone they infect is not all right? i've thought about that myself. i think a lot of people have thought about that themselves as well. >> absolutely. >> have you been talking to any of your former colleagues? what are they saying? >> i haven't much. i have heard from a couple of people, even people that i've never met that work for the county and the majority of them have been actually all of them

have been very positive and encouraging. of course, some of them want to stay anonymous and i totally respect that. but i'm just -- i'm proud of the students who have spoken out and i'm just really overwhelmed by their courage to speak out. >> what do you want to see for them? what do they need? what do your former colleagues need to stay safe? >> well, i'd like to see them be in a safe and healthy learning environment that was my job as a school nurse. that is my job as a nurse in general. unfortunately, i don't see that happening, given the circumstances. and i think a large portion of that comes from our government. we don't have the support of our current governor, governor kemp, and we do not have the support of even our own president. but mayor bottoms has been a

huge support to her community and it's very admirable. >> well, amy, we really want to thank you for coming on. >> absolutely. thank you so much for your platform. i appreciate you. >> of course, no, we appreciate you bringing your voice on to tell us what's going on. a professor asks dr. fauci about the spread of the virus in the air and prompted dr. fauci to make a promise. and floating the idea of allowing visitors into nursing homes but is he playing with fire? and dozens die or remain missing in beirut. we will speak to the bride in this remarkable video. or psoriatic arthritis, little things can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently.

for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines and if you're pregnant or planning to be. otezla. show more of you.

we know that hand washing, social distancing cut the spread of the virus. but one question has dr. fauci considering a new safety measure. >> from what we know about particle physics and air flows, there may be droplets much larger than five micrometers that continue to go around, which means it gives you pause to think about do we know what to do and should we investigate and make some changes? >> that answer was prompted by a question by joe allen a professor at the harvard ph chan school of public health and he's with us now. tell us what aspects of airborne transmission we should be

focusish on. >> thanks for having me on. this is something my field has been talking about sings february. my first article was talk about airborne transmission. if you look at the cruise ship, choir practice and restaurants, that airborne transmission was happening. there was little down side. airborne is not something that needs to be feared t just means you need additional control measures, like you mentioned, hand washing, mask, distancing and you have to add in higher filtration rates. every piece of information has supported airborne transmission is happening. i'm one of the scientists who wrote a letter to who encouraging them to change their stance on transmission. and truth in a lot of let's call it lines over the past couple of months.

it's my task force when we're investigating this and that's all we can ask for of any scientists. and maybe change the recommendations accordingly. >> you're hearing things every day. the communities a lot of them are limiting capacity. at the same time i think there's a question mark about maybe risk is is diminished. >> absolutely. and "washington post" and talking about airborne transmission. and hopeful that we're turning the corner. but if you're going to open a school or office building, you need to pay attention at the air flow and air quality inside your space in your home.

open your windows. if voy a mechanical system, bring in more outdoor air. dilutes any airborne contaminants. you can simply use a portable air cleaner. the time you can buy at any local store. it will give you several air changes per hour if it has a heppa filter. that means the volume of the air in the room is cleaned every 10/12 minutes. so, that's a really good strategy, especially if there's not a lot of guidance. if you google that, laulgts of good evidence-based strategies you should be deploying in schools, restaurants and every other indoor environment. >> schools are trying to reopen here. so many of the classrooms don't have windows, or they have windows that don't open, and i mean, look, we've all -- right, we know what air systems tend to

be like in schools. they're part of -- they're always in there for years and years longer than they should be. there's problems with a lot of them. what can teachers and administrators be doing to help? >> we've nds invested in school infrastructure for decades. 90% of schools don't even meet the minimum ventilation standards and they're not set for infectious disease control. so, we have an infrastructure problem here and this is where my guidance in "washington post" was about what you can do, even in nrd resourced environments, in short time. this is where the use of the portable air cleaner can help. try to get outside as much as you can. if you're indoors and you get a portable air cleaner rated for the size of the room correctly, you can get many air changes of clean air. and my team has put out a tool to help you understand how to

finds and perch ths right air cleaner. it's not so straight forward. but you enter the size of the room, ceiling heights, estimation of ventilation and it will tell you what you should look for in terms of an air cleaner to clean the air in that classroom. >> it's incredibly helpful to hear from you. professor joe allen. >> i really appreciate this. >> as coronavirus deaths continue to rise in florida, governor ron dos santos says he's comfortable with people hugging the elderly if they're wearing ppp but is that a good idea. plus, why democrats believe conservatives are fighting hard to get kanye west on the ballot come november. my psoriatic arthritis pain?

i had enough! it's not getting in my way. joint pain, swelling, tenderness much better. my psoriasis, clearer... cosentyx works on all of this. four years and counting. so watch out. i got this! watch me. real people with active psoriatic arthritis are feeling real relief with cosentyx. cosentyx is a different kind of targeted biologic. it treats the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis to help you look and feel better. it even helps stop further joint damage. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine, or plan to. serious allergic reactions may occur. i just look and feel better. i got real relief with cosentyx. watch me! novartis is committed to supporting our community. learn more at cosentyx.com.

in florida the pandemic was raging. total cases surpassing half a million deaths. yet, the florida governor is floating the possibility of opening nursing homes to visitors. here's ron dos santos speaking at a round table discussion. >> look, i'm comfortable with the pppe. hug them. come on. if you have ppe on and you hug and you don't sneeze or do something on them, you're going to be fine. obviously, if you're there for 30 minutes doing that and you do, well, that's a different

situation. but to go give a hug, i think that you can do that and that would be very meaningful. >> i want to talk about this now with family medicine dr. adrian burrows from orlando. you know, i think, gosh, who doesn't want to hug their loved ones, right? i don't think we can underestimate and maybe we took it for granted before the medicinal impact of a hug but we want to make sure we're being safe. i wonder what your opinion is on hugging with ppe and the possibility of coronavirus transmission. >> so, this is a very serious topic we're talking about. we're in the middle of a pandemic and i haven't seen my mother in five months and sat down with her. so, i understand inemotion associate would that. that being said i believe comments like the governor given a are reckless and irresponsible. the reality is there is no evidence that shows what he's

saying is the right thing to do. right now we've made tremendous efforts in the nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities across the nation by practicing safe social distancing. we do have to work on trying to get our family back together with our vulnerable elderly. but to sigh we should be able to see those things with ppe on is not appropriate. >> so, the governor also floated this idea of floating coronavirus antibodies and the idea being they have some immunity and give this reality check on this because there's a uk study that suggests immunity may only last a few months. >> first of all, a lot of the antibody tests are being run, as far as giving you antibodies against coronavirus and not necessarily against covid-19.

the second thing is that -- >> can i have you pause for a minute. explain the difference having antibodies when it comes to covid verses coronavirus. >> so, some of the testing methods are looking for broad-based immunity to coronavirus, which covid-19 is one type. but they're not necessarily spiff took covid-19. so, that's the first hurdle we have to get around. when you actually do have a test that shows you have immunity to covid-19, there's no evidence that shows how long that confers immunity for. doesn't tell us how long we're immune for. so, that shouldn't be a criteria to determine whether you should visit someone. we should continue to practice the same social distancing guidelines that have abeen agreed upon. >> and youth sports should not shut down if athletes test positive.

he wants to give fans what they want when is it comes to sports in school and college. >> we are in a stage where younger people have tended to do very well with covid-19. that said they're still living with their parents and meeting up with grandparents and putting them at risk. we have done a poor job collectively across the nation to control covid-19 and now we're asking our youth to do that for us. so, i'm against those types of things until we truly get a handle of this virus. >> all right. dr. burrows, taking the conservative approach, as so many medical professionals are. we appreciate your input here. conservatives aligned with president trump working to get kanye west on the ballot.

because i know where this can go and lead to tomorrow for me. i think our game is in a beautiful position and we have fans all over the world and our fans, not only love the way we play the game, we try to give back to them with our commitment to the game and respect what else we try to bring to the game and acknowledge. and what's right and what's wrong, you know? and i hope everyone, no matter race and no matter color, the size, would see what leadership we have at the top in our country. and understand that november is right around the corner. and it's a big moment for us as americans. if we continue to talk about what we want better, more change. we have an opportunity to do that. so, but the game will go on without his eyes on it. i can sit here and speak for all

of us who love the game of basketball. we could care less. >> on wednesday the nba announced a $300 million donation to form the league's first ever foundation to support black communities. meanwhile, in wisconsin, republicans are fighting hard, doing everything they can to help kanye west come november. the rapper turned white house hopeful collected a slew of signatures this week with the help of gop operatives in a coordinated effort to get kanye's name on the wisconsin ballot. so, why are republicans suddenly interested in kanye? many, including my next guest, believe it's to hurt joe biden. cavalier johnson is the head of the milwaukee counsel. he's a democrat and you tweeted about this. you said in part, in 2016 trump's appeal to black voters was what do you have to lose? in 2020 they plan to trick enough black people into voting for kanye west to siphon votes from biden.

this is shameful, pitful, and not surprising. this will only galvanize allies across milwaukee and the state to vote for biden. tell us how you see this helping of kanye west and what you would say to criticism from people who say and if they want to support kanye west, they can. >> first, when i first found out about this, i felt three things. i was outraged, shocked. but i wasn't all that surprised. i was outraged because this is a clear political ploy by republicans in wisconsin in an attempt to get him on the bal lt, to siphon votes away from biden and help the current president remain in office. and that campaign has continued

to stoop lower and lower and lower. from the current covid response and covid response and trump-branded golf courses and the like. and they found a way to stoop even lower. and also mental health disorder to extract a political gain. and i wasn't surprised because donald trump and the republican party have moved the party so far to this position that it's no longer the party of lincoln or reagan or george w. bushes. someone who inspired me to get into office. they're in a position where they reflect the values and images of the current president and that's a sad state of affairs. i don't think isthis is going to work. i think people see it for what it is, and that's a ploy to help the incumbent president. people are sick and tired of the way america's been moving forward and we're going to do

the right thing and vote for joe bidon for president this coming november. >> so, you do not think this is going to work. but look, kanye west got a lot of signatures. who do you think he got these signatures from? >> well, kanye west did get a number of signatures. it's still to be determined if he has enough to actually have ballot placement for this coming november. look, anybody can run for president, including kanye west. the issue is the political strategy and tactics they're using, not having a conversation or debate on the merits. they're using a political ploy to cheat democracy in order to get this president another term in office. and i think it's going to hurt this president and republicans come november. >> and you know, kanye west, this is a choice that he is making. we have seen his family speak publicly about his moental

health struggles, right? he was diagnosed in recent years with bipolar disorder. we should be clear there are a lot of americans who also struggle with that mental health challenge as well. and i think we have to be careful how we talk about that. but he has publicly has struggles that we have heard his family address. when it comes to, for instance, we've seen very erratic behavior, following some of his rollouts. what does that say to you that, in the midst of what we've seen of his struggles, that he is being, i guess, assisted by conservatives? >> yeah. i mean, what you just said, i think you're absolutely right. i personally have members of my family who have bipolar disorder. it's no laughing matter, not sning to take lightly and certainly not something anybody

should take advantage of, especially a political party and especially the president of the united states. i'm ashamed of the republican party and they should feel shame to for the tactics they're trying to pull to prop kanye's campaign for their own political gain. this isn't something that's funny. millions of americans suffer from this disease and here you have a large american political party that's trying to exploit it for their own political gain and it's not right and isn't fair. >> what would you stie critics who say, look, if joe biden's going to win, he should be able to overcome a challenge of president trump and kanye west if he decides that he is going to be running in this state? >> yeah, and i think joe biden will win in wisconsin. i think he'll win the entire election. the point of the matter is again not that kanye west is running. the point of the matter is they're using underhanded tactics to circumvent democracy

and having a conversation on the record. it's not about kanye. it's about the tactics republicans are using that are underhanded. >> thank you for being with us. we really appreciate it. >> thank you, brianna. two new studies today on coronavirus. one finding a connection between gum disease and more severe virus cases. and the other showing the viral load of asymptomatic patients may match those who have symptoms. plus the moment of the blast. we will speak to a bride posing for her wedding photos when one of the most powerful explosions we have ever seen ripped through her city. if stress worsens your digestive issues, try new align digestive de-stress. it combines align's probiotic with ashwagandha

presidential campaigns are grueling not just for the candidate and their families also for the journalists who cover them. the new cnn film on the trail inside the 2020 primaries produced exclusively for hbo max gives you an insider's view just what that experience is like. it follows some of cnn's female correspondents reporters and embeds as they cover the election. >> we are cnn's eyes and ears on the ground. we know what you have to raise the roof about if we don't walk towards her and she goes over there then we'll miss that. >> it's a grueling job that takes almost everything you have

some days. >> senator, were you satisfied with bernie sanders answer whether a woman could win this election? >> our commitment between him and others and i was not in the room. >> we are basically giving up a part of your life for the next nearly two years. but afterwards you will have covered a presidential election. >> how did that feel? >> it was good. >> that's why i do this job. >> joining me now two of cnn's political embed producers featured in the film. daniella diaz and jasmine wright. we saw a bit of your life in the clip we played. you said it takes almost everything you have some days. take us through a day in the life for us. >> absolutely. a day in the life is you wake up and you're in a foreign city at a hotel. you have some coffee while you get caught up on the day and then get ready to go to two to

three to sometimes four campaign events. sometimes they're in different states. that means you're packing up gear you charged the night before, putting it into your bag and then you are taking it with you to a campaign event where you film it, you log it. you record what was new or what wasn't new, and then you go back and you do that four, five, six more times, and you have to do it quickly and drive your own car and answer emails talk to your boss. there are so many juggling parts to this job that i hope that the film is really telling people, like, this is the work and the sacrifice, but also the fun that we have in doing it. >> yeah. it's hard -- it is so much work and it is also so much fun, and you know, daniella, you tell us some of the biggest challenges, what they've been for you on the trail. >> you know, brianna, in this job, and you know this yourself. you did this job. you learn to function without
