what do you see needs to be done right now in houston and texas? >> well, i know and love dr. peter hotez, he works with me at the college of medicine. i think we needed to take action weeks ago, because we see this lag of about two weeks' time before people get exposed the vir virus, until they develop cases, become sick enough to come into the hospital. what we have to do is dial it back. we have to dial back the order that the governor put in place back on may 1st to reopen the economy, because when we did reopen the economy, cases went up but they went up at a linear rate. when he did phase two of the economic reopening we started going up at an exponential rate where we find ourselves now where it gets really scary. we need the people of the public to wear a mask, they need to remain physically distant from one another and we need our elected officials to listen to health care workers on the front lines of this so they can implement the measures that are necessary to get us safely through this pandemic. the problem is, in april, the governor, governor abbott, said we've d

texas, greg abbott, said matters had taken a very swift and very dangerous turn. his remarks coincide with a rise in infections in several southern and western states. well lets cross live to houstonthink a lot of texans are concerned about this. there are a lot of people out there in the world who are trying to get out there and have a normal vacation, back to their favourite bars and restaurants, so favourite bars and restaurants, so this is being very alarming. been filling up, icu units to maximum. restrictions were relaxed and i think i think a lot of people are pulling back from the plans they had been making. is there a difference between what is going on in the big cities that in smaller towns in texas? there is, however the counties in rural areas have also been having a lot of cases. there is a lot of things in cases in rural counties, in prisons, and of course the vacationing texans and people from other states. we have a large national park thatis we have a large national park that is lovely in the south—west part of texas called big bear national park, one of the most beautiful places we have. normally very quiet especially at this time of year and a lot of people are

houston, texas. houston is the city where he grew up, the city where he will say a final goodbye. are the people there morning him as one of their own? oliver: wellit l looks like i, brent. if you look at the amount of pepeople attending today's publc viewing here at the fountain of praise, the lines are very long. thousands are expected throughout the day. there is a lot of traffic jamming the surrounding areas. people are waiting to get inside the church where the body of george floyd is laid out. people want to bid farewell and pay their final respects to them , of course. not only members of the black community, but also white people who are supporting the black lives matter movement, as we have seen also in other countrieies, not only the united states, and in recent days and weeks. now, o of course, ththe atmospre isis a a sad one, but there is o some optimism, but let's lilistn in bececause i had a chance to speak to some of the peoeople attending today's public viewing. >> well, this is an n importantt time in our world, and i feel that it is necessary for me to be here, number one as s a human being, for the humuman race,e, d then me bei

texas or arizona. >> well, right now, chris, the numbers are going up pretty steeply, and our metropolitan areas of texas. houston is getting hit very hard right now as well as dallas and austin and then also in oklahoma and arkansas and then as you mentioned in arizona. pretty steep increases in the number of cases. but i'd like to also mention it is not just the number of cases. it is the hospitalizations that are going up as well. so it is not just a matter of expanded testing. this is a real concern. we're starting to see now patients file into our medical center, a medical city of 100,000 employees and 60 institutions. it is the largest medical center in the country here in houston, and those numbers are filling up as well. so we still have a lot of bed capacity left, icu capacity. we're not at half yet but the numbers are climbing and i don't see what turns this around. i don't know what people have in mind that's going to suddenly -- where we're going to start suddenly seeing a decrease. some of the projections and the models are pretty apocalyptic looking, so i'm pretty concerned. >> the difference betwee

now here in the houston region, as well as in texas, we have continually set hospitalizations' records for coronavirus since memorial day. 16 of the past 18 days including today we set a hospitalization record for covid cases in the houston area. today we passed 2,800 for the first time. now unlike in states like arizona, our governor, greg abbot, on friday started to scale back the reopening of texas. he closed bars for the first time since he had reopened them. and he also limited the ability of hospitals to do elective procedures in hopes of freeing up more icu space. >> i want to talk in a minute about the delay between the rolling back and what it might mean for the rise in cases. we're going to talk about that with dr. richard besser in a moment. but vaughan, one more question -- i want to throw one more question to you which is that governor doocy is going to be holding a briefing. any indication that he might follow suit with what california, texas, and to some extent florida is doing by shutting down bars, places where young people are congregating, and spreading the disease i

saturday pap new daily high, and seeing a record number of hospital asians as well here in texas, and we know that houston has its own problems as well. you mentioned florida in particular as seeing a spike in cases there. we did see that stunning pivot from governor ron desantis there acknowledging the fact that not only are these rise of new cases not a result of just increased testing, but as of the virus that's spreading as well, the governor acknowledging a new type of covid patient not just there but here in texas and other states as well, andrea. that's just a younger individual that is now testing positive for the virus, and that's why you have older populations earlier on that were most at risk, and now as more people go out and about, particularly in states like this where restrictions have been loosened, that younger population is going to be a key demographic to look for as the cases continue to go up, and city leaders try to figure out the best way to keep that virus karened. andrea? >> thanks so much. morgan, thank. and joining us, the emergency room doctor and the department of health and h

houston texas where. service for floyd was held today john take us through the highlights of today's service. well adrian the respected george floyd was denied on that last day of his life he certainly received here today he died under the need of a police officer but the police chief of houston came to his funeral officers saluted his hers as it made its way to the burial place there were a number of high profile figures in an epic ceremony that was scheduled for 3 hours but lasted 4 and a half there were 2 members of congress there were 3 pastors before the eulogy by reverend al sharpton we heard from sheila jackson lee the representative from texas that floyd was on a mission even if he didn't know it and then you had joe biden giving his message directly to floyd's 6 year old daughter saying when this is all over your daddy will have changed the world but perhaps the most poignant words came from floyd's own family this is an example of what his brother had to say. just a. big. big. everybody. that's on it but we got to be remember everybody going to remember him around the world want to save

arizona, where there is pressure on the hospital systems, we're hear ing about problems in texas as well in houstonnd harris county where there is high icu bed utility specialization the percent positive it of tests going up meaning the tests are coming back much more at a higher rate than they had been in the past we're hearing about that in utah as well and even parts of oregon as well and this is going to be what we're going to see as we move forward that there are parts of the country where this flares back up because social interaction is going to allow the virus from person to person and the key is keeping those numbers down so that our health department, contact tracing teams can do their work as well as keep our hospitals in good shape. connell: all right now to the how, we do that, because there's been talk this week about the idea that we might and the cdc alluded to that, to have to go back to the measures we put in place back in march and that was pretty much a shutdown of the entire country. would we ever have to do that again, or could you, to i think the point you were making hopeful
