first of all, i want to ask you about the situation in the icus. miami-dade county is now reporting that icus are now at 122% capacity, how worried are you about that and at this point can you guarantee if someone goes into the hospital with the virus if your county that they can get the life-saving treatment that they need? >> yeah, i can guarantee that in terms of hospital care. we have had apparently shortage of remdesivir througutand so, you know, we're therilcacity. when we were at 120% we actually had the reserve capacity over 100% to convert rooms into icus. so we still have it. i talked to the ceos of the hospital systems here and they haven't said they can't handle it. they can handle it. we expect to be able to handle

it through this spike. >> the county government there has imposed strict new rules, a $100 fine for not wearing a mask or keeping proper social distance. how many people have actually been cited for this? >> first day, first night, i think we had about 35. we cited 35 people. we closed some businesses. it's going to ramp up as we get more and more of our inspectors up and running and so, i also expect that the cities should do their part, too. they have to also enforce the county rules that we have and i expect that to continue and we're very serious about the mask rule here inside and outside. we're very serious about all the measures we took with the different businesses to get them open. we need to make sure that they do it in a safe manner. so far, you know, it looks promising. so we'll see. >> question many parents want to know, will kids in miami-dade be back in the classroom this fall? >> i don't know. nobody knows. because we need to get this

level of contagion down. i'm working with the superintendent. he's got a plan, we got a plan. but at this point, if we're at this level, no. i don't think we're going to have kids in the classroom, but, you know, that's still about five or six weeks away. so when the time comes, we'll make that decision. >> five, six weeks, that's not that far away. >> no, it's not. look, the spike that we're experiencing right now happened over a period of three weeks, so, you know, we'll see what happens in five or six weeks. we'll have contingency plans for wherever this virus is, but if everything stays the same, and i don't expect everything to stay the same. i don't think kids will be back in school. >> mayor, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> my pleasure. thanks, whit. to washington now, and reports the white house is blocking billions of dollars for coronavirus testing and other essentials in a republican relief bill.

abc's rachel scott has more on that. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: dan, good morning. as the need for more money for testing is reportedly met with resistance from the white house, the washington post reporting this morning that the trump administration is at odds with senate republicans over this, saying the administration is pushing to block billions of dollars for coronavirus testing and contact tracing. "the post" reporting that administration officials want to zero out new funding for testing and the cdc, the request reportedly angered some top gop lawmakers. congress is now racing to come together on a coronavirus stimulus package. they have just days to act before lawmakers break for august recess. those unemployment benefits run out at the end of the month. of course, this new report comes as coronavirus cases across the country soar. some of the president's staunchest allies have sounded the alarm about the lack of testing. but this weekend, the president holding a tele-rally claiming the u.s. has the leading testing system. >> our testing program is the best in the world. we've tested almost 50 million

people, and when you do that, it's going to show more cases. so we show more cases, but it's still the right thing to do. >> reporter: and the president said it is going to be tough to hold those big, massive rally as the pandemic rages on, and yesterday flags at the white house were lowered in honor of congressman john lewis. earlier in the day the president tweeted that he was saddened to hear about the passing of the civil rights icon. eva. >> rachel, thank you. there are new tributes to congressman lewis this morning. joining us now to look at his life, senator cory booker, thank you so much for being with us this morning. john lewis was a legend in the civil rights movement. you knew him personally. he was there the day you were sworn into the senate. how important was he to you? >> well, literally i'm sitting here probably because of him. 1969, the year i was born when my family was trying to move to new jersey but kept getting turned away from house after house because of the color of

their skin, and the lawyer engineered with some great activists, a sting operation and years later, i would go back and interview the lawyer and asked him why he got involved in that pro bono work, he said, he saw the news about the edmund pettus bridge. watched john lewis and others get so savagely beaten. from the very beginning of my life to my time in the senate, when my father just died, john lewis really stepped up in a significant way, and to have served with him as a colleague and a friend, and worked with him on everything from expanding health care to defending the rights of marginalized people. i'm so deeply sad for his loss, but inspired by his example. >> i know he was in d.c. very recently. when was the last time you saw him? >> well, his chief of staff, who's a beautiful human being, called me about a week ago and told me that john was going to

pass soon, and wanted to arrange conversations, and so i got a chance to get on the phone with him and tell him in my final words to him, how much i loved him, and how much he so impacted my life, and the moments we spent together, he taught me lessons and i know we remember his courage and his civil rights activism. but john was one of these people in a world that's so obsessed with possessions or position, he showed that true power comes from humility and grace and relentless, relentless unconditional love. he lived so consistently in that spirit. he said, you got to get in the way, you got to cause good trouble until we're a nation that fulfills itself. so to know him personally like that, it's a gift from god. i just feel overwhelmed by it,

and to lose him now, i just feel a profound, unshakable sadness that we won't have him in this country at a time that we need healing and we need love and we need each other. i'm sorry we miss his living example of that. but i hope at this time we can remember that we have to be his legacy. we have to live up to that spirit, and we have to continue the important work of making our nation more just. >> and eck inspeaking of that wn this moment that we're in in our country, seeing this year's racial justice protests sweep the country, civil rights was his life's work. do you know what he thought seeing these young people taking to the streets? how optimistic do you think he was about this movement happening right now? >> yeah, well, remember, the last real public appearance he did was standing with the mayor of washington, d.c. his body being attacked by cancer, and that iconic vision

of him in front of the black lives matter letters. john was an activist until his body gave out. i know that he was deeply involved and committed not only to the activism, but inspired by the young people and the multicultural demonstrations and demands, but i'll tell you this, when you ask me how optimist john was -- it was profound that he had this hope, a hope that wasn't naive, bloodied and beaten, a hope that was callous and tough, so he never gave up hope. he was a prisoner of hope and it should be a lesson to l u one of my favorite memories of him that went viral was him dancing to the song "happy" by pharrell. one of my staffers who went with me once to a meeting remembers us having that question, how do you sustain your hope? he talked about the need to protect that joy inside of you, no matter what the circumstances people can't steal that from

you. so here's a guy who saw the ugliness and the retchedness and the bigotry of this world in a way that my generation may not, but yet, he never lost a belief that we could all get better and find redemption, he never let them steal his joy. >> important reminders and lessons from him. senator cory booker, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we really appreciate it. dan, over to you. >> so many powerful stories. thank you, eva. let's bring in abc's martha raddatz who's going to be hosting "this week" later this morning. good morning, martha. it took 14 hours after the announcement of john lewis' death for the president to tweet out his condolences, and this was after all four living u.s. presidents had already weighed this. was this -- in. was this perhaps a sign at times of the rocky relationship between the president and the congressman? >> well, they certainly did have a rocky relationship. john lewis said that president trump was not a legitimate president because of russian interference in the election,

you can imagine how well that went over with president trump. and he fired back his own insults to john lewis. he also accused him of racism. john lewis accused president trump of racism concerning some of his tweets about members of congress. it was an indeed a rocky relationship. as you know, the president was golfing yesterday, but the tweet did finally come out. >> let me switch gears just a little bit and ask a raw political question. we have a new abc news/ "washington post" poll out this morning. it gives joe biden a 15-point lead among registered voters. trump's numbers have declined during this pandemic. we now have about 3 1/2 months before the election. how does team trump turn this around? >> well, i think team trump is trying very hard to turn this around, but president trump makes his own decisions, as you know they did move -- brad parscale to a different

position. he's doing tele-rallies. he wants those rallies that's where he's invigorated. that is going to get harder and harder. kellyanne conway also said she thought his poll numbers went up when he was speaking each night with the coronavirus task force about covid. he stopped doing that. he does not like to be as associated with that virus. he rarely brings it up anymore, but she thinks he should start doing that again, but if he doesn't want to, dan, you know he won't. >> he's the man in charge. martha raddatz, thank you very much. a reminder -- tune into "this week" later this morning when martha will speak with congresswomen karen bass and val demings on the death of john lewis. plus top officials in florida, arkansas and colorado all coming up later on "this week" this morning all here on abc. let's shift gears now and get a check of the weather. rob marciano is out in westport,
