south dakota and you can see all the motorcycles in the streets. this is a 10 of 7,000 but swells to over 250,000, they believe, for this event. this is one of the largest events since the pandemic started. and they're so glad the event is here. they have less than 10,000 covid-19 cases. a lot of people are siting that's why they feel comfortable not wearing masks. the same way they don't wear helmets, nay don't feel they need to wear masks. >> i'm trying to keep everybody safe, but at the same time, the world's going to go on no matter what. i just hope it doesn't end up causing, you know, mass breakout. >> i'm not worried about it all mp we're from california, so, honestly, this is refreshing and not have to worry about it. >> no matter where you look, there are thousands of bikes.

some are in hotels and some in rv parks. a lat of them feel like the pandemic numbers are not real. so, they're not worried about this being a super spreading events. we'll have have to see what happens over the next few days. >> it is the top of the hour, i'm brianna keilar. we begin with the sobering reality check. the u.s. has more than five coronavirus cases and more than 163,000 deaths. the worst of it is in just five states, california, florida, texas, new york, and georgia. and if you look at the global picture, the united states is still way up in the numbers here. it accounts for a quarter of the cases in the entire world, even though it's only 4% of the world's population. and one more chilling statistic, the u.s. is losing 1,000 people a day to coronavirus.

look at the assessment from a foreign policy magazine. the united states simply belongs in the bottom of the countries in terms of the slow response to the crisis. the u.s. isn't alone. health officials declared europe is experiencing a true resurgence in covid. they say they can be beaten if everyone gets on board. >> it's brutal and it's simplicity, it's brutal in its cruelty, but it doesn't have a brain. we have the brains and i think on the out lying, how we can out smart something that doesn't have a brain but weir are not doing such a great job right now. >> there's an area that appears to be under control and that is new york. schools will not reopen without a plan or in-person learning. on the flip side, in georgia, remember this picture from last week of students packed in the

hallways, that school is shut down after several pausetive cases. the race for a vaccine is on, but it woenn't hit the goal the president promised last week. >> ready around november 3rd, are you optimistic that will happen? >> 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, but certainly by around that date, yes, i think so. >> elizabeth cohen is joining us now. cnn obtained part of an email that maderna sent on friday to the principal investigators of the vaccine trials. >> what it said is the numbers, the number of people who they have include said in their clinical trial this far in the first two weeks and it's not a terrible number but it is not a number that gets you a vaccine by november third. let's take a look at the numbers in that internal corporate email.

from july 27th to august, 4, 536 participants, but they need 30,000 participants. they say they expect to enroll 30,000 and give them their first shots sometime in september. they don't say at what point in september. then, 28 days later, they need to give them a second shot. so, brianna, even if they get numbers up quickly, and i think they will -- even if it does ramp up, those that i talked to said there's no way you can get one dose and 28 days later, another dose in 30,000 doses. it doesn't take effect immediately, then you have to put these people in the world and see who gets coronavirus and who doesn't. that cannot happen by november 3rd. brianna. >> and tell us, elizabeth about

this new study by the american academy of pediatrics and it shows more than 97,000 kids tested positive for the virus in the last two weeks of july. what do you make of those findings? >> reporter: these numbers, i think r a lot higher than what people are thinking. let's take a look at the numbers. what they found, more than 97,000 u.s. children positive just in the last two weeks of july that represented about 8.8% of the cases and more than 339,000 kids have tested positive. i know people are thinking so what? maybe they'll get sick for a day or two. but that's not true. some children do die and you can't predict who's going to get really sick and who isn't.

and they get their vulnerable people sick mp that's another reason we need to care about these numbers. >> hoeoh, i'm aware of that vec phenomenon, as are you. thank you so much. the 2020 college football season could be on the brink of not happening. we are learning discussions are underway among the power five sports complexes to possibly post pone the season due to concerns over the pandemic. and as they discuss shuttering down, there are several star players uniting to express their desire to play, as long as the schools can address safety concerns. the defensive lineman for the sentinels. he and his family have already thad coronavirus. i think you're in a unique situation, having been through this with your whole family and talk to us about your

experience, their experience with covid because you all got sick and your dad, who's a former nfl player, he actually nearly died. >> yeah. so, my namally, i have a family of seven. my mom, dad and five siblings. my dad was more on the severe side and had to be put on oxygen. my mom just lost her taste and smell. i was in the middle where i had extreme fever, fatigue, shortness of breath. i was able to make a pretty quick recovery but it did hit hard when it did hit. >> and you've been confronted with the reality of what it might be like to lose someone close to you with this. and you sent a tweet with the #we want to play. tell us why you feel it's so important to get back on the field this fall, knowing what the stakes are here? >> so, obviously, once i made a

recovery, i've been working hard to get ready for the season and once i got back to tallahassee, headed by coach storms, we worked hard to get us in good shape, redsy for the season and our head coach and athletic trainer, they put in place very strong standards to help daily screenings, masks everywhere, consistent coronavirus testing so that i feel and me and the team feel safe and putting all this work and in the season for this fall. and a team in the facility and maybe other players families might not be as lucky as yours, if footballed as to the spread of the virus. >> so, there's always risk.

and to protect our players and staff, faculty, to make sure if we do go forward, we'll be as safe as possible. >> that you'll be as safe as possible. what have you heard from coaches and other players about what they want to see happen and the chances the season is going to happen. >> everything about the future is speculation. i've been reading on twitter just like everyone else. i know the guys i talk to all feel the same as we do. as we have been prepared and we are putting in the work, and starting fall camp and we trust our head coach and athlettic trainer that they've been doing everything and we have been, as a brother hood keeping each other accountable so that we are safe in and our health is in good hands.

>> it is great to see you healthy. it's wonderful to hear your dad is doing well and we thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. let's talk more now about this with sports agent drew rosenhaus. i know a lot of people want to know what you think about this. do you think this season of college football could be cancelled? >> yes, i do. i think it's a strong possibility. i'm hearing the big ten conference and the pac-12 conference have decided to cancel their seasons. i've also heard that the scc and nose haven't been finalized.

and a good decision that puts the safety in focus. >> and the star quarterback at clemson and a likely top nfl pick has been speaking out about his desire to play and he's urging college football players to form a union so they can have their voices heard. do college football players need a union and how would that work if they had one? >> absolutely. it's a joke that college players don't make any money. it's a billion dollar industry and they don't see any of that. it's absurd. the biggest hypocrisy that i can think of in sports. that's got to change. that's obvious. i respect players who want to form a union. i think it's about time. they deserve to get their voice heard. they deserve to get compensated for this and revenue producing

sports like basketball. certainly players who want to play, they should be given the choice. and players who don't, shouldn't feel pressure that they need to. we've already had two clients opt out of the season. from the university of miami and from virginia tech. both guys felt very strongly it was in their best interest not to play for the season sdwoo get ready for the nfl draft. and i think every athlete and football player should have the ability to make their decision on what they think is best for them. >> the president just retweeted trevor lawrence and florida's governor also said college sports should continue. what to you think about the president and other elected officials weighing in on this? do you think it's going to sway any of these conferences for what they do and do you think they should be weighing in? >> well, i'm pretty sure the president wants college football to go on because if there's no

college football, there's going to be a lot of upset people and that's not great for the president and his popularity and his job in terms of keeping this country safe in dealing with the pandemic. i think he has a reason for that opinion. i hope that's not the case and he feels it's legitimately safe. that's the key here. each university -- i just saw a statement from tim harbaugh in michigan where they've had testing on a regular basis and keeping guys safe and they have the numbers. but there are other programs thaterant like it. they have to come together and have a plan moving forward that is for all universities and not have one program like connecticut cancel another program. and that program cancels butted

other programs in florida want to play. there's got to be a plan and more clarity to keep the young people safe, as well as the coaches and administrators and the staff that's involved. >> just quick before i let you go, drew. i think some people say well, if college football can't move forward, then how does the nfl season move forward? what do you think? >> great question. i was anticipating that. the biggest difference is that the nfl is on the same page. 32 teams to have a cohesive plan and it's working. testing, to get people the opportunity to opt out. they have testing on site. 15 minute results, social distancing. and czars in every location. it's very different in the nfl.

they are being protected. clubs are investing millions of dollars. college football is dish organized, it's nothing like that and i'm not saying every program, university of michigan, i've seen first hand how hard they're working but i can't say that about every organization at this time. i can tell you that about every nfl team. >> hey, drew, thank you so much. it's great get your insight. >> thank you for having me on. have a great day. >> you too. bill gates says the testing situation in the u.s. is mind blowing insanity. what he says can be done to fix it. plus why the coronavirus may lead to long-term chronic fatigue syndrome and a few study that raises the possibility that anxiety and depression may be symptom oz of the virus. and the leader that criticized the president's mt. rushmore trip is hoping he's

kraft. for the win win. the u.s. leads the world in the number of coronavirus tests conducted. so, why are we struggling so much to stop the spread of the disease? to date more than 60 million tests have been completed, but delays and back logs mean it can take weeks to come back. bill gates addressed these in an interview. >> i've said don't reimbrsz any test. you're paying billions of dollars to get the most worthless test results of any country in the world and you've created this incentive for the

commercial guys to have long lines because you do not -- you just want to waste government money. you pay as much for the late results as the timely result. no other country has the testing insanity -- >> all right. let's talk about this now with professor and dean with medicine, dr. peter hotez. it's been several months now since the first coronavirus case was found in the u.s. why are we still having issues with test sng >> we're having issues with testing for the same reason that we've not contained the virus where so many other countries have. we've just not had a cord naordd federal response and we have the epidemic raging across southern

states and into the u.s. so, number one problem is we have massive levels of virus transmission and even where it's reached a plateau, it's plateauing at 1,000 miles per hour. so, it's very intense. that's problem one. then, when you're trying to do testing under those circumstances, contact traces, it's almost impossible when you have that many cases. and on top of that, we have the well-reported delays in organizing federal testing. so, in an effort to move things along, we license things to a number of commercial labs and a lot of inconsistencies across the different commercial labs and as bill gates appropriately points out, it's ridiculous, if you're getting a pcr result, which tells you if you're actively infected at that time. it's like getting a wegter report.

so, all of this is started to snow ball. but the fundamental problem has been this insistence on not having a federally korcoordinat response and it's led to this cad strophic failure and the fact that we're now the epicenter of the global pandemic and we continue to be for the last -- >> i want to get your reaction to something the governor of florida said. this is what ron desantos said. >> the fact is with the risk is this is lower than seasonal influenza, they're less likely to spread it through that. >> what do you say to that? >> first of all, we know kids over the age of 10 can spread the virus perfectly well. those are studies done out of korea and the little kids now a new study in gemmau pediatrics have shown high amounts of virus

in their upper airways and their speaks, releasing virus. it's a very misleading point to say the least. and then you have to remember when you open up a school in a place where there's high transmission, florida has plaubably about one of the highest rates in the united states. it's not just the kids who were transmitting the virus. you have vendors come nothing to the building. and adults. it's inevitable teachers will get sick, just like what happened in georgia when they tried to open up premature lae. so, this gets to the problem and so many elected leaders refuse to do the hard work needed to get the virus under control and into containment mode and this is in florida, georgia and many southern states and until we do that, we simply cannot open schools safely. and to try to cherry pick various facts or factoids and

not correctly, again, is not helpful and counterproductive. and it's setting up our teachers to fail and it's truly difficult how we're treating the greatest national treasure, our school teachers like this. so, it's inexcusable. >> i'm a sister of a teacher and my mother was a teacher. so, preaching to the choir on that one. i want to ask you about new findings from a study that showed depression and anxiety could also be symptoms of covid-19, cause bood thidisease's impact on the central nervous system. does that mean it can attack the brain and i think a lot of people might be surprised to learn a virus that they associate with it being a coronavirus and they might associate with other coronaviruses, that it has this impact. >> this virus, when first advertised, when we first heard about it out of wuhan in china,

we were focussed on this as a respiratory illness. and the other coronaviruses, the sars of 2003 were primarily respiratory viruss. now we recognize it's far more complex than that and may be because of the impact on the vachkialer track, including blood vessels going to the brain. there's been several large studies and elsewhere in pretty diverse neurological and presentation as psychosis, people coming in with psychotic events and it turns out that's the first manifestation of their covid-19. and afterwards, lots of cognitive effects afterwards. and they're fuzzy or woozy. you're seeing chronic fatigue or now depression.

in the months following. so, remember how this works. we're always talking about the 650,000 patients who tragically died from covid-19. that's the tip of the isis burg. and thousands more patients that we're only now getting our arms around and this consequence of the failures to contain >> and we've learned about it and still learning so much more. thank you for being with us. >> thanks so much. >> next california's health director abruptly resigned and president trump on mounlt mt. rushmore. something they looked into.

and south dakota, the south dakota governor's office last year to ask about how to add presidents to the monument. and this year when president trump held a live celebration said he greeted him with a 4-foot replica.

the president called the times report fake. mentioned the >> i said you should come to south dakota some time. we have mt. rushmore and he goes do you know it's my dream to have my face on mt. rushmore and i started laughing. he wasn't laughing. serious. and within a month or so he said it in public and got a lot of criticism. >> nick tilsen is joining us now. he's a citizen of the lakota nation and president and ceo of the indian collective, which is dedicated to rebuilding the native american community. thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me on. >> so, you were among nearly 200 people who actually protested the july 4th visit to mt. rushmore. you got arrested for that. what is your reaction to the

latest news about the president reportedly wanting his face on mt. rush more? >> well, first of all, i think it's outrageous in general. we started a conversation about the closure of mt. rush more because mt. rushmore itself is a symbol of systematic oppression and racism in america because the four faces were colinized, slave owners, abraham lincoln wear of the biggest masks and the fact that we started the conversation. about closure in mt. rush more, because it's a symbol of white supremacy. and at this point in history, it's egreejess. s.

you protested, as we mentioned. >> the way that indigenous people are treating in the justice system inside is outrageous. the statistic is indigenous people inside are 10-times more likely to be jailed or impressened than white focused. that was parent in there. all of the inmates i've seen were lakota people from this region. there are relatives in there. this is a continuation of the fact that this is a system of white supremacy we're trying to dismantle systematic racism. so, when we have the president saying he wants to put his face on the mountain, this stolen land from indigenous people, even the supreme court states that treaties of the supreme law

of the land and the black hills is one of the most gross violations in the history of the country. it's egregious and the fact is, in this country, we should be actively having a conversation about the world we're trying to build. one build on social justice and equity. one that talks about black reparations and gives the land back to indigenous people. >> do you think it's laughable that this is out there as a posblts or desire of the president's or do you worry it's something the governor is telling trump might be realistic? >> i mean, i think it is laughable because we are leading a land-back movement to work towards the closure of mt. rushmore. so the likelihood of us closing it is ten times more likely than the president having an opportunity to stick his face on it.

and so, that's my reaction to that is we have a serious momentum. this is a landback movement in this nation at this time in history. and so, it's laughable because there's no way that the president is going to get a space on the mountain on our sacred lands because it's been happened before and we're going to get our land back and create a national conversation and perpetuating incorrect history and perpetual violence. >> thank you for joining us. >> absolootedly. airport traffic may be down due to coronavirus. but the number of guns seized is up. plus a massive new testing plan as the state struggles. ta-da!

and a location in a glitch causing coronavirus cases to be underreported. california now has the highest number of infections in the country. cnn's stephanie is joining us from los angeles to talk about this. tell us what's we're learning about this resignation and what exactly this glitch is. and seonia, angel. we do know the state is working through this. late yesterday. so, obviously this is a surprising to many people. we are expecting to hear from the governor shortly. so, we'll expect to hear more information on what's happening. what's happening is some of the

cases is they're not happening properly. therefore, there's an undercounting for the number of cases in a day. and they're saying in the period and there were some 250,000 to 300,000 cases not accounted for. some can be duplicates, positive, negative and that's -- they've built in redundancies to fix and they put out new numbers right now. remember these are coming from the state and they're reporting 66 new deaths and 7700, a little more than that, new cases here. so, a total cases offall most 562,000 here in california. we usually do see a lower number on the weekends coming off of

the weekends, because some of labs don't report until the week day. but obviously lots of questions about what's going on in sacramento. >> stephanie, thank you so much. there's breaking news out of lebanon where protests have led to the resignation of the government. he sent this video momentz bnor blast.

we have some breaking news out of lebanon where a short

time ago the government announced it is resigning. this comes less than a week after a powerful explosion killed more than 160 people in beirut. cnn has just obtained new video of the moment the blast happened. days of violent protest followed the explosion. demonstrators accusing the government of incompetence and corruption. the united nation secretary general is calling for a credible and transparent investigation into what happened. tens of thousands have been displaced and there are still people would are unaccounted for. cnn's arwa damon met one family searching for their young one. >> michelle halloween slept in three days, neither has her sister-in-law and a love for joe, husband and brother.

michelle struggles to form words and sentences in arabic, never mind in english. joe is an electrician at the port. and this is the last video she got from him on tuesday night. minutes later the entire building he was film would explode. jennifer, joe and michelle's oldest child was in beirut. >> so she heard the explosion and she started praying and shouting. this is my dad's -- >> she knew that was where her dad works? >> yeah. >> reporter: the entire family was frantic, calling joe nonstop. >> at midnight he opened his

phone for 21 seconds and further heard deep voices, that is what he said and then nothing. >> reporter: another call also seemed to have gone through on wednesday for 43 seconds but there was silence on the other end. he must be alive, they thought. they had to get to him. he would have figured out a way to save himself, they combed through video shot by others for angles looking for any clues to give teams locations to search. >> do you think that is joe? >> yes. >> you think one of the people is joe? >> of course. >> reporter: it is the building right in front of the asylum, the building that is now buried. but they still had hope. there is an operations room deep underground, they heard there are bunkers. three bodies were pulled out but no joe. maybe he's deeper in, deeper under somehow still alive.

>> we have to keep searching. >> reporter: michelle was born in the u.s. the children also have american passports. joe was just about to get his visa. all of that now seems like a different reality. >> he loves -- he wanted to go to america because it is better for his -- for jennifer and for the future but not for him. >> reporter: the women are trying to shield the children from their grief. jennifer doesn't know daddy is missing. joy is thankfully too young to fully understand. maybe they will never have to tell the girls their daddy is dead. that night the fourth after the explosion, crews were searching around the clock, searching the area where the family believed joe would be found. clinging to the hope that he

would still somehow be alive. at 4:00 a.m., they sent us a heartbroken message. joe's body had been found. arwa damon, cnn, beirut. >> thank you so much toar wau for that port. actor antonio banderas testifying positive for the coronavirus. and chicago on edge after a night of looting. what they're doing to fight it tonight. and kodak stock tumbling after the government put $800 million loan to the company on hold, we'll explain why. >> tech: we'll fix it right with no-contact service you can trust. >> tech: so if you have auto glass damage, stay safe with safelite. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

shares of kodak plummeting on the new york stock exchange today, down some 40% after an almost $800 million federal lobe to make drug ingredients was put on hold. alison kosik is in new york. and there are several layers to the story. tell us what investors are reacting to, exactly. >> we're seeing investors rattled about regulators blocking that $765 million loan to kodak because they're investigating allegations of insider trading. and investigating how the company got this government loan in the first place to make drug ingredients for generics. now when this announcement was made late last month, we saw

shares soar more than 2,000% over two days so this stock has been on a wild ride. and remember, this company, kodak, has fallen off the radar since being an innovator in making that kodak moment synonymous with taking a picture. so we haven't heard of kodak for a very long time. and to see the price spikes raised some eyebrows on wall street. so now there are questions about the executives, about the chief executive and ceo, about why he received stock options a day before this loan announcement. also, the securities and exchange commission is going to be investigating the timing of this announcement. it wants to know why kodak announced through a media advisory that this loan deal went through a day before it made the official announcement. now kodak did provide a statement to cnn saying it did not intend to make those details public on a local tv station in kodak's home town of rochester, new york. but this is an unusual deal with

the government that leverages the defense production act which gives the government power to direct production in the name of national security. an the trump administration spoke very highly of this deal, then president trump, but then he backed up his comments and later walked them back saying he was not involved in the loan specifically. brianna. >> thank you so much for that report. our special coverage will continue now with brooke baldwin. hi there, i'm brooke baldwin. you're watching cnn. thank you for being with me. here is a quote, it is never to late to turn the outbreak around. that is coming in from the leader of the world health organization today. words that the u.s. needs to hear now more than ever as the nation surpasses 5 million cases. that means one in four infections worldwide are in this country. right now more than 163,000
