a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! we are live in the cnn newsroom. thank you for joining us. over 5 million cases of the cds have now been reported and the rate of the spread is stunning. it took 99 days for the united states to surpass the first million cases and look at this. now each successive million after that has happened much quick er. we went from 3 million to 4 million in 15 days.

and yesterday alone, 1,037 americans lost their lives. that's the fifth straight single day that over a thousand american lives have been lost. in fact, since july 21st, there have only been four days where the daily death toll has not surpassed 1,000. despite what you may have heard from the president and others, this virus is by no means under control. we begin in georgia. earlier tonight i spoke with hannah waters. she's a sophomore at a georgia high school whose fphoto of students packing the hallways went viral. it also led to her getting suspended before officials reversed course and unsuspended her. we learned her school is closing its doors temporarily and switching to virtual learning for monday and tuesday after nine students and staffers tested positive for covid-19. i talked to hannah about that and the fallout from her viral fphoto. here's a part of our

conversation. >> we could have just delayed opening like many other schools and counties because most of them i have heard from opening that they could have delayed schools so that it could find more safety measures to follow and the skouf school could have found more plans for the students and staff members. but they sent us into school and used us as guinea pigs. >> you mentioned one of your friends and teachers are guesting tested for covid-19. have any of your friends expressed concerns or fears about going back to school now? >> we're all pretty concerned about going back. i know my teachers are too because we all want to go to in-person. i have no intention of shutting the county down because i know a lot of people don't learn well online. i don't learn well online. i want to be able to go to in-person school. i want to have some type of normality for semester, but we can't if we're not safe.

>> administrators said your picture is not fully in context. they are saying students are transitioning classes, which takes five to ten minutes. so it's not actually that high. do you buy that? >> exposure is in the hallway because we're all smooshed together. yes, it's only five minutes to get to class, but there is barely any people wearing masks and we're all smooshed together. there's people trying to talk to their friends. we're all coming from different classes so transfer is very high in that hallway. >> what set this whole thing is off is that you took this photo and posted to social media. pretty normal thing for a kid your age to do. you got suspended. the school lifting your suspension. what reasons exactly did they give?

>> they didn't give us any reason why they lifted the suspension. they just apologized, but they gave no reasoning why they lifted it. >> are you concerned now that you've posted this you're on national news that maybe teachers and other students might look at you as a troublemaker or somebody who is out to start a ruckus? >> i feel like a lot of teachers have my back because they know how dangerous it is. but a lot of kids i know that i'm doing the right thing and it's not going to stop me from continuing doing it. but it is concerning, especially since it's a the lot of the people i go to school with. people i have known for years now that are threatening. >> tell me about the threats.

what are people saying? >> there's a group chat that a lot of people -- that the senior class has. and i think almost all the seniors are in it. a lot of them have been screen shotting things and sending them to either my family or some of my friends and sent it to us. and some of the things are like we're going to jump every girl named hannah in the 10th grade or hannah is going to have a rough day at school on monday or someone even said i know where this girl lives because he lives in my neighborhood. they are not entirely something to worry about, but we do try to take them seriously. >> but it's still, that's saying you know where somebody lives in that manner, that's an insinuation why do you think that is? when i was in high school, if somebody gave something that gave you days off from school, usually they were congratulated. but these kids are angry at you. >> i feel like it comes from the

seniors, which is understandable because last year our seniors last semester a lot of their senior year was taken away from them. but it's happening again this year. so hopefully it doesn't. i have never wanted it to. but they think it is. and they are trying to blame it on me. which i don't make the final decision. i'm just trying to keep everyone safe. >> i just hope that sooner or later, everyone can understand that i'm not trying to shut it down. when i expose the county, it wasn't to cancel the senior year. it's not to go after anyone. it was to keep us all safe. you wouldn't have your senior year because sooner or later the school was going to shut down. if we go online earlier, we can contain it quicker and we can

use the rest of your school year. >> there's a toll that comes with coronavirus. the cost of life. i think that far outweighs the cost of prom. nevertheless, you mentioned that a lot of teachers have your back. what are they saying? >> a lot of them haven't said anything directly to me. but we have heard people saying that they have my back. or they have messaged or posted some things like this is the right thing to do. >> sharing her story with us earlier this evening. i want to dig in further. we have a cnn medical analyst with us and the former assistant commissioner of health. doctor, thank you for the time this sunday evening. i want to get your reaction to the school going virtual for two days. is that enough in your medical

opinion? >> that's barely enough time to screen the students and the staff that are there. i think there's been a woeful lack of planning really to reopen schools. i have been saying since early march pandemics are about pol y polici policies, procedures and practice. and we have not really done that work of developing those policies and protocols and figuring out the practice. what are you going to do if a student arrives at school with symptoms. we know some parent with no other plans will bring student who is have a cough or the sniffles to school regardless of whether they might be infectious or not. what do you do if kids or staff don't want to wear masks. so we haven't really had a plan for any of that. how do you think other school leaders around the country are reading this development? if you were advising them, what would you suggest? >> well, i think the number one

the idea of reopening schools with widespread community transmission should be a non-starter. if you really want to reopen schools, you needed to do the work of suppressing transmission in the community. we have had months to do that. we didn't do the work that was necessary. we prioritized putting bars and planning to reopen schools. now that we find ourselves in that situation, it's sort of like getting maybe a new crack at it is the more optimistic way to look at it. if we can do what needs to be done in the next six or eight week, you could still probably have a delayed school reopening in person but you really need to do the work of suppressing transmission in your community first. >> with that work, the united states hitting that grim milestone of 5 million confirmed cases. the country does not have the virus under control.

so in a sense, to try to limit that exposure. do you think it's time for another shutdown whether nationally or in certain pockets around the country? >> i do think in certain areas you probably need to look at doing that. the fact is most of the country that was not done it was done very happen heartedly. it was done late. and the place it was done aggressively like new york city, it worked. and we are now in a position to reopen schools. now we're going to still have to assess every step of the way and be ready to roll it back if it doesn't work, but at the same time, we're in a much better position to do that. so i would just hope that we're still in early august. there's stul time. take advantage of the time. invest the time wisely and maybe you'll still be able to salvage most of the fall term. >> now over the last five days, we have seen more than a thousand deaths per day.

there are the numbers right there. there have only been four day where is we haven't had a thousand deaths per day. i was speaking to a doctor earlier who said that it emotionally affects him that the united states, the fact that a thousand americans are dieing a day, there's some sense in your mind that people just aren't struck by that the way they should be. >> i think i'm in the business as an infectious disease specialist, as an epidemiologist, i'm in the business of saving lives. the be idea that we have become so callous that we view lives as disposable, that it's just the cost of doing business, in a sense. and we're also applying that to our own school children. a big part of the problem with school reopenings is the fact that our schools, the infrastructure is literally

crumbling. the heat iing and cooling syste are really defective. over half of school buildings have hvac systems that need repair. so what does that say about how we value not just life in general, but kids. >> we have to leave it there. thank you again for your perspective. president trump is back in washington after signing several executive actions over the weekend. and he's opening the door to some changes in his relief plan. we'll explain some of the comments, just ahead.

a week as long as their home state pays 25% of that cost. the president, though, making a surprising statement. changing his tune. suggesting that the federal government maybes able to fit the entire bill. listen. we have a system we can do 100% or 75% and it will depend on the state. we'll look at it and make a decision. so it may be they may something, it's like the national gashd. the national guard sometimes will pay all of it depending on the tragedy or whatever it may be, the disaster. and sometimes the state will pay 40%, 25%, 10% or nothing. depending on how it works out. >> let's discuss. austin is with us, a former chairman of the council of economic advisers during the obama administration. and also with us doug hide, a

republican strategist and political commentator. thank you for joining us tonight. doug, i'll kick it off with you. help us understand what the president is saying here. and beyond that, there are a the lot of states that are nearly broke right now. so why putting the states on a hook for a quarter of these unemployment payments when he suggested the federal government could pay 100% of them. >> i think so often with this president, the devil is in the details. when he says it depends on the state, you probably really depend on the state and where they voted lst time and where they will go this time a as to whether something would be fully funded or left out to dry. i'm old enough to remember when republicans were against mandates and spoke out against executive orders. that's because lot of those statements from the national committee in house leadership, but ultimately, this is a hail mahmory that the president is throwing.

he sees the same polling that everybody else does. he knows that or at least the campaign know that he's massively unpopular as far as the handling of covid. he has to do whatever he can to take some kind of action while congress is at a stalemate. with potentially no college football, these may be the only hail marys we get to see. >> austin, what about you? based on what you can decode from the executive actions, are they sufficient in helping struggling americans and stabilizing the economy? >> no, definitely not. the president announced this yesterday. i spent today racking my brain trying to figure out what it was. i think i figured out how we got to the spot we are. and it centers on exactly what we're just talking about. this wasn't planned. this wasn't thought through. the president does not really have the authority to change unemployment insurance or to wave the payroll tax

unilaterally without congressional approval. he knows that. so what they did is they signed an executive order in which they quite literally took money out of fema's hurricane budget and called this a natural disaster. and that's the money they are going to try to use to extend this much more modest unemployment insurance. but the problem with that is it requires a co-pay from the states. and the states, as you said, don't have any money. now the president is coming back to scramble and say, maybe we'll find a way to pay 100%. this isn't thought through. it's exactly the kind of overreach that any other administration would get you in big trouble. i think it is going to get this administration in big trouble. they better sort out the details as quickly as they possibly can. >> the president promised to make that payroll tax cut permanent. it's really a defer mement.

he said that if he's reelected, then he will pass some things so that the people who elected to take those deferments could pay them back. this morning his top economic adviser contradicted that pledge on cnn. he also said the action extends the moratorium on evictions. it doesn't. it asks the government to decide whether it would be helpful. will any of this come back to bite him when the checks don't come bain or folks find themsels on the street? >> i think we won't really know until election day. >> we have seen this so many times with president trump. he makes a grand pronouncement or really big announcement and when you read it, there's really not much to it. it gets the headline and distracts from what the issue of the day is. these are not what you are looking for. and trying tomorrow, this is a one ta at a time problem for the president.

>> you want theed to weigh in on it? >> i was just going to say, i think it's going to hurt. up to now, when he's done these grand pronouncement asks you peel back the onion there's nothing there, they haven't been on these third rail issues. the thing with the payroll tax where we're going to have a deferment so you're still going to owe the money and he's promising that if he wins, he will abolish the payroll tax. that's the backbone financing for the social security system. i don't think they thought through what a third rail this is. that every retired person in america is going to look and say, whoa, wait a minute. the main way we fund social security you're going to wave that if you're elected president. then what is going to pay for social security. i just think it's almost unbelievableable that they haven't thought through not even the details.

this is the top line 40,000-foot level of detail. i any there's a great danger to the president that he's going to look like he's desperate and way out of touch on these. >> despite the point you raised, the president saying he intends to protect social security as doug just said. the devil is in the details. austin, doug, thank you so much. >> thank you. a monumental request from the white house. president trump's team reaching out to the governor to find out the process of adding his face to mount rushmore. details, ahead. i love reviews. i've seen a huge change in my skin. my forehead wrinkles are less noticeable, and my skin is plumped and youthful!

there's new reporting that president trump expressed interest in wanting to be added to mount rushmore. it was not a joke. according to "the new york times," the white house called south dakota governor's office last year to ask about the process of adding presidents to the monothe. then this year when president trump held a briefing at mount rushmore a replica was greeted to him. i want to discuss this with presidential historian idaho ritz doris goodwin. doris, it seems as though president trump isn't just thinking about how history is going to remember him, but he may be going as far as to try to write his legacy in realtime.

>> you know a president may have powers, but not the power to be judge and jury of how history will regard him. every president cares about their legacy, but most of them know it will depend on their accomplishments and failures. and that that will be done by the people who live years later ask by historians over the time. you can't make something up by saying i would like to be on mount rushmore or i have done more for civil rights or i have done equal amount as conservationists as teddy roosevelt. you don't have ta capacity to make yourself spin. so what will matter is time will go by. lbj, i was with him at the end of his life. he cared so much about what his legacy would be. but he dreamed some day he would be remembered for civil rights. 50 years later, historians look back at that bipartisan domestic

leadership he had a at medicare, voting rights, and the immigration reform and he's come up in their estimation. but that's because of what he did and what his failures were. not because of what he said he was doing. >> and ambitious attempt to build the great society. the times also reports that vice president pence he was worried she was gunning for his job. a campaign adviser will undoubtly be on the ticket. but what is the precedent for replacing a vice president in an election year? >> well, it certainly can happen. 1864 the convention and lincoln replaced the republican from maine. i love the name hannaable hamlin because he was a democrat from the south from tennessee, from the middle area and he was a unionist. it turned out obviously when he was assassinated to be a very

consequential and troublesome decision. at the same time in 1932, he had jack farley as his nominee. haefs very conservative guy. so he makes wallace from the midwest his vice president and drops him in 1944 consequential it becomes harry truman, luckily for the country. but a complicated thing. it would look like an act of desperation. and had a woman on the ticket as they were talking about nikki haley, that would have been a smart move. but it seems to be pence right now. >> quite the history lesson there. joe biden also speaking of vice presidential nominees, he has eight days to choose his running mate if hes to announce before the convention. david axelrod said that one of the biggest reasons was because

biden could win voters in battleground states. at the end of the day, is that ability to help a candidate win the most important quality? >> i think what happens and he's being a realist is that a president candidate may say what matters is the best man for the presidency or the one who will be my best partner. but unless the presidential candidate wins, none of that matters. so i think the fact he's already chosen a woman and said he would, that's a look at the fact that women could be a very important on the voting bloc. but the interesting thing in this time, and with the fact that he may be seen as a transitional president, it may matter to people whether this person has the qualities to be a president. whether the person has the experience. whether the person could step into the presidency. so in a funny way, the things that are usually just rationalities because they are

choosing who could win probably will make a difference. >> doris goodwin, the author of "the bully pulpit." thank you for spend issing part of your sunday with us. >> glad to be with you. thank you. a potential super spreader in south dakota. 250,000 people gathered for this 80th annual rally. we'll take you live to sturgis, next. when we started carvana, they told us

i wondered.. could another come around the corner? or could it play out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. -and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial

heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily- and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. what's around the corner could be your moment. ask your doctor about eliquis. proms, graduations, weddings, many of these traditions have been cancelled, postponed or altered in the face of the the coronavirus pandemic. but a quarter million bikers were determined not to give up on their biggest annual party. sturgis motorcycle rally is underway right now in south dakota. attendance rates may be way down this year, but 250,000 bikers still a lot of folks to show up

i want to get back to that story in south dakota. a quarter million bike rs were determined not to give up their biggest annual party. ryan young is there. an outlaw persona part of biker culture. that defiance showing itself there. you have been reporting about the lack of social distancing, the masks, what you seeing tonight? >> reporter: you know what b? it's just a mass of people at this point. it's so hard to hear you. you don't even know you're on.

you can see a string of motorcycles that have lined up to be here. they are talking about a city of 7,000 people that's going to swell by just a number of bicycle riders. this is an economic punch for this area. we have been hearing all weekend long people have been looking forward to this all yearlong. they were so glad it wasn't cancelled. this is also one of the biggest things in saying they have a down tick in the numbers. people have been walking along the street, but when you look at the bars and see the streelts, you can see how packed they are. not a lot of social distancing. this is what some of the people told us earlier. >> i'm trying to keep everybody safe. at the same time, we're here to do what we're here to do. the world is going to go on no matter what. it seems like everyone else has the same opinion. i just hope it doesn't end up causing mass breakout. >> we're from california. you have to wear masks everywhere you go.

so this is kind of refreshing coming out and not have to worry about it. >> i feel comfortable not wearing it. so it's good. >> reporter: take a look from above and see our other shot. you can see a number of motorcycles going down the street. you talk about the count in terms of the number of coronavirus cases in the state. it was less than 10,000. there were 120 people test positive today. you look at the numbers, but will it become a super spreader event. that's become part of the conversation. we won't know if that are days. we have been talking to people who travel from florida to get here. they say they plan to go to the west coast before returning home. if you have some sort of outbreak, it will be spread out because people will be traveling. other folks say they don't believe in the pandemic. they actually think the immediate y have been overhyping this. they are not wearing masks. i can tell you this is pretty loud. all of the cars. you see people coming out.

it's been an experience watching it all go down. >> i can't imagine being there in person. ryan young, thank you. even before the pandemic and the economic crash that it caused, more and more people returning to second jobs, extra gigs and side hustles to make ends meet. this week, a new episode of "united shades of america." we take you to austin, texas to meet people who have taken on three gigs and even more and finds out it's not always enough to pay the bills. here's a preview. >> i don't feel like there's a lot of gigs for extra money. it's usually some type of essential situation. so i just picked up a third job or a fourth job. i think i'm close enough if i just work enough, we can get here and play house and we can live in sur besh ya and everything will be fine.

secretly, we don't have benefits or health insurance or ira or any of that. i play along with living in this neighborhood, but we aren't at the same level as these people. i say these people, we love our neighbors. but it's different. it just is. it's just not the same. >> joining us now the host of "united shades of america yes, it is. thank you for joining us. when you shot this episode before the coronavirus pandemic struck, how many people were working in the gig economy? what kind of job were they doing? >> austin, it seemed like everybody we talked to had done it or currently doing it. it's a city where even if you have a good job, that job may not pay you enough to live in austin. wages have gone down. >> we just saw that clip. it's not just low and uncertain wages that make the gig economy

challenging. they lack the benefits, the protections that a full-time salary job provides. what kind of impact does that have on their lyes? >> if you're a rideshare driver, people are getting in and out of your car, bringing down the value of your car as you pick them up and drop them off places. if they get sick in your car, that's on you to clean it up. that's not corred by the rideshare place. so i think we're talking about it's on you. and we also talk about in the the episode how sexual assaults happen in both cases. >> have you followed up with any of the people you met during the filming of the episode? do you know how they are doing now given these even harsher economic times? >> we talked to vanessa, who was in the clip you showed. it's on cnn.com. she's in a worse position because now more are trying to do this sort of other work

because they are out of work completely. so there's more competition for those jobs. competition for jobs aren't paying well. she had trouble getting the app to give her ppe. so even right now as we call them essential workers, they aren't being treated as such. >> i'm curious about multilevel marketing gigs. they are another big part of the gig economy. they target moms. can you explain what they are and how they work and if they are reliable? >> we have the podcast describe them as a try anxio triangular business model. it's a model where for the most part, a lot of people on instagram say this is not always true, you have to pay to become a part of the company and buy the products you're selling to other people, which means a lot of people who don't have the money end up with garages and

closets filled with pesticide merchandise they can't use and usually selling it to friends and team who have already been sold by somebody else in the community. >> ultimately, the money winds up at the top of that triangle that you're talking about. another part of the gig economy is ghesic wodomestic work. those jobs usually follow women of color. i imagine that the conditions for those workers are likely not great. >> it was important for us in this episode to expand on what the gig economy is and call america out for its always been a gig economy. from slavery to the chinese and immigrants building the railroads to undocumented people pick our fruit and vegetables. there's always been an economy of at the bottom that don't get paid the best or paid at all. it has little to no benefits. domestic workers are part of the hidden economy. so i think it was important for us in this episode. they are still minimum wage.

tuesday doing virtual learning to disinfect the school, to give the district time to consult with the public health department on how they are going to proceed. this letter comes one day after the principal told families of the high school that at least six students and three staff members have tested positive for coronavirvid-19. this letter tonight acknowledges that there could be more people who are still awaiting test results. skpo so when you think about nine people knowing they are positive with more people waiting to see if they are, this was the move that they thought would be safist. now they are also saying by tuesday evening, they should be able to tell families how they are going to continue classes in the days after that. whether the virtual learning continues or if they go back to the school building. now keep in mind, the school district had already determined that for the first week of class, they were going to have students in the building for

three days and at home virtual learning for two days. now that has been extended an additional two days into monday and tuesday. >> thank you, natasha. it's not just the united states dealing with this issue. parents and government leaders are weighing options when it comes to sending children back to school. the british prime minister is urging that children return to the classroom he says keeping kids at home is economically unstable and morally indefensible. here's how other countries are are looking to reopen the schools. >> i'm fred pleitgen as germany continues to reopen schools and bring children back into classrooms. now all german states have opt ed for in-classroom learning, but all of this is happening under special pandemic measures. most german states are making masks mandatory for students and staff when they enter school buildings. all of this is happening as germany is dealing with a new spike in coronavirus infections.

the country recording more than a thousand new infections on two subsequent day this is past week. >> i'm david mckenzie. here in south africa, they have closed schools for at least a motto try to curb transmission. in kenya, they took a more drastic step. they shut down the entire school year of 2020. they said this was to stop covid-19, but also because they saw during the lockdown that online learning was possible for the students. it was just not fair. so they took that drastic step, all of the students, million of them, the entire school year is over. they will have to do it all again next year. >> outside on the country's most famous schools. back in may when the education system was reopened here, israel managed to push the number of daily covid cases down to single

digits. schools were reopened across the country and then began the second wave. on a per million population basis, the country has one of the worst outbreaks in the world. these pexperts say the reopenin of the school system was largely to blame. this school alone more than 150 students came down with the virus and 25 members of staff. now when schools reopen in september, that could give renewed impetus to the coronavirus pandemic here in this country. it seems to be struggling to control. >> thanks to our correspondents for those reports. thank you so much for watching tonight. "united shades of america" starts right now. >> this episode about the gig economy was filmed in september 2019. vulnerability of these workers has been identified by covid-19.
