9:03 pm
a friend who has an immunodeficiency and cause a serious outcome as well as go through a day that you correspondent stephens even in washington. welcome stefan we 3rd nothing from the coronavirus task force for the last a couple of months not case numbers are exploding through the roof people are bound to ask well what have they been doing. exactly that's what they ask all over the place and but as you remember the test force the covert 19 test force what was put to rest a little bit laid dormant a little bit i don't say not going to say that there wasn't any work done behind the scenes of course there was but regular task force meetings slash task force briefings like we have it now they were not there for 2 months instead this administration the trumpeting ministration focused on a reopening the country end established a task force for this and now well task force covert 19 is back for very good
9:04 pm
reason as you pointed out the numbers are through the roof florida texas arizona california in actually 32 states there is a significant increase in cases and 11 states now have paulse or rolled back. measures to go into a next phase and considering actually rolling back everything even a total lockdown in specific places in those states is back on the table so who people holding responsible for this crisis federal forces old so state authorities. well it's tricky to hold the federal authorities responsible because remember the president said i encourage all the states to open up and i have to leave it with the states and that is true legally speaking and
9:05 pm
practically speaking the states have the authority to decide how far they go in reopening the economy reopening their states for business is that true and there were c.d.c. guidance in what face this should be and could be and of course now a lot of citizens in specific states or in many states and maybe across the united states are saying. yeah where was i where was mystified in the last 2 months actually maybe for seeing a warning for this to happen and then he did now he's saying and it's clear for everybody to see. reopening very very quickly does not particularly work well. well there are presidential elections coming up in just a few months time in november should president trump be worried. i think so the latest polls at least suggest that he should be worried he has the lowest approval ratings. since i can think of 40 he say is proof reading is this 40
9:06 pm
percent that is pretty much unheard of he's 8 to 9 points behind. his democratic contender presidential candidate joe biden now we are still a good mile away from november and from presidential elections and i'm always the 1st to say do not underestimate the trunk and pain and mr trump to really his troops his supporters is that trying to bring in make chili out to the polls when it's time in november lot of things can still happen but it does not look really good for donald trump at the moment people do not approve how ease handling the coronavirus crisis now reemerging in this is scaring a lot of people meanwhile probably the president had a with its navy a bad idea to go golfing he canceled his scheduled trip to bettman stony new jersey where he has a golf club so that's not going to happen he will stay probably in the white house
9:07 pm
