"the journal of the american medical association" or "jama" conducted a new study estimating the coronavirustoll between march and may could be 28% higher than the official death toll that's been reported. what do you think about this? what does it mean going forward? >> well, kenneth, it's an interesting study that looked to compare the death rates from the spring to one year ago, and it found that when looking at the total number of patients who died, that there was an increase that couldn't totally be explained just by the reported numbers of covid-19 deaths, which leads to the question, what else caused this increase, and so their conclusions concluded that there were secondary deaths due to covid-19 such as patients not coming in to seek health care in a timely manner. >> we learned today that labs across the country are currently near or at capacity due to the increasing demand for coronavirus tests in recent days. your thoughts? >> well, i think overall this is a good thing. to my knowledge the companies aren't necessarily running out of the tests themselves but more a manner of the c

sending kids back to school, we should note she was trying to cite an article in the american journal of medical association that suggests that kids could go back with a low risk of contracting covid-19. but the white house has avoided this issue of whether children going back to school can infect their parents, teachers and other employees at their schools. wolf. >> yeah, let's not forget hundreds of americans, almost 1,000 just yesterday died from coronavirus. jim acosta reporting. thank you. >>> let's get to all of this with our chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta with us. sanjay, just look at the number of hospitalizations in the united states right now. how big of an indicator is that of things heading in the wrong direction? >> well, you know, the first thing you sort of realize when you look at that, wolf, is this whole idea that testing more is leading to more cases. that obviously is not the case. but when you look at the hospitalizations, also going up, more testing wouldn't lead to more hospitalizations. but you can see, a clear graph here, in terms of what's happening. so, this is a real co

medical constituent elizabeth cohen joins us now. and this new study from the journal of the american medical association specifically looks at deaths between march and may. why were so many deaths unaccounted for and by how much? >> let's take a look at what the study authors did and retrace steps here, jake. what they did is they looked at deaths between march and may this year and compared it to previous years. they found there were 122,300 more beths in that time period than there previous years. the study authors believe the majority of the deaths are attributable directly or indirectly to covid. but when you look at the death count it is only 95,235 deaths so the study authors believe that is an underestimate. they say look we have this many excess deaths from this year kbhared to last year and we believe it is attributable to covid so they believe the 95,000 number is really low. jake. >> elizabeth cohen, thank you so much. >>> in california, a record breaking new kroerp cases, 9,740, the high number since the pandemic started. the previous record was 7149 a week ago today. dan is live from pacific palisades. govin newsom hav

maybe the journal of "the american medical association" cover would have been a little bit more suitedmes. but here's the problem i see, and it's not personal, i'm not here to pile on dr. fauci, he certainly has far more medical expertise than i do. this is a multifactorial problem here, but there are a number of factors. it's not just a virus. you have the hold hammer-nail analogy. when you are a hammer everything looks like a nail. everything is seen through the lens of the problem of the virus and that's good, i'm glad we have the expertise and in the triage of our needs that's at the top. but that's not only are concerned. we can't have people just spouting off in the white house saying, you know what, a lockdown might be a good idea. that has a real effect on people, it's not a joke. you can't just recommend a lockdown haphazardly and say, we can shutdown the virus. while you could also shutdown the hospital treating the virus, did you think any of this through? what about our food supply? did anyone think of that? that's a problem with placing too much faith on any one doctor or

a senior cdc official telling the journal of the american medical association we have way too much virus across the country for that right now, which is why this country is a pariah state. tomorrow european union countries will reopen travel from 14 countries including canada, row wanda and central africa but not the u.s. the world leader for decades in the study of plea venrevention infectious disease and to send people to the moon and we can't fly to paris because we're a health hazard for the whole of government approach that vice president pence keeps going on about. i mean, let's be honest. it not been a whole of government approach because whole of government means the federal government. it's been a good luck you're on your own. that the the approach this administration decided to take when they left it to the states. remember the president talking about this being a war against an invisible enemy. if this country was invaded by an enemy force and the president left the defense up to individual states the way he did with coronavirus, that president would be forced to resign. thing

a new study published by the "journal of the american medical association" found, of middle-aged patientsho 100 recovered from covid-19, 78 had structural damage to their hearts. as the u.s. death toll from rapidly approaches 150 thousasand, president trumpmp declared tueuesday much of thehe united states is covid free. speaking from the white house press room trump lamented polls , showing his approval rating is lagging far behind top infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauci. curious. a man works for us, with us. arefauci and dr. birx highly thought of, but nobody likes me. it can only be my personality. amy: president trump then walked out of his tuesday press briefing after a cnn reporter asked him about his re-tweeting of a video featuring stella immanuel well, an evangelical christian doctor who has urged people not to wear masks and embraced the drug hydroxychloroquine for covid-19 despite studies showing it offers no benefit and can cause deadly side effects. immanuel has previously suggested alien dna is used in pharmaceuticals and that gynecological problems a are caused by se

speaking today with the journal of the american medical association. >> right now, if you look at the number of cases, it's quite disturbing. and we're setting records, practically, every day of new cases in the numbers that are reported. that, clearly, is not right direction. >> to dr. fauci's point, florida, today, reporting 10,109 new cases. a new daily record. and just look at the seven-day moving average of new cases in that state, over the last four weeks. now, let's add in the european union to those numbers there. to be clear, all 446 million people. right now, florida, with a population of just 22 million, is averaging twice as many cases per day as the entire eu. it's incredible. now, let's look at texas and the eu over the same period of time. again, these are seven-day averages and skews the data. and again, those two lines tell the story. cases are rising, in fact, in 38 states here in this country. steadier falling steady or falling in just 12. press secretary liked to call what you are seeing in those numbers, in those facts, you are seeli seeing on your screen, embers.

people in the united states have died from coronavirus, but a new study in the "journal of the american medical associationports that number may actually be 28% higher. that's roughly an increase of about 36,000 lives. 36,000 deaths. with me, dr. james philips, chief of disaster medicine and assistant professor at george washington university hospital. so doctor, thank you so much for being on and why do you think there's such a gap in the numbers? >> well, there's a number of reasons. initially it was about testing. also recognition of the different ways that the virus can kill people. initially thought a primarily respiratory disease, we sought patient whose came in with respiratory symptoms. flu-like illness, if you will and reserved a limited number of tests for them and why we had a very high positivity rate during those times. when we saw patients that died from respiratory illness during that time we assumed it was covid and in most cases were able to test for it. but we've long feared there were a number of patients dieing in the hospital and outside of the hospital particularly early on in this di

she pointed to one study from the journal of the american medical association.ou think, is the science on the side of saying schools should 100% reopen? >> because i was taught to read in school, i've read the reports, the science is not on our side. i think it's very important to understand that this virus acts and mutates and presents itself very differently, in different scenarios. i think the next thing we're going to hear that the avengers are coming and going to cleanse us of covid. listen, we're going to follow the medical advice when it's safe to be back learning. we're following science, not science fiction. >> you have 1.1 million students in your school district, how could you possibly maintain distancing in schools? >> well, given the medical advice and the social distancing, you know that we have to do, it's impossible to have 100% of our 1.1 million students in the same bidding on the sa building on the same day because we just don't have the space for that. so, because of that, we've developed by a lot of input from principals, teachers, communiti

redfield today in a separate webinar with the journal of the american medical association just a short time ago, he was asked about predictions and he said he's really reluctant to predict anything with this virus because he just got to know it six months ago. he was one of the people early on who thought we would see it die down in july and august. he went on to say that he is very concerned about the fall and winter 2020 toting overwhelmed is really going to define how this is handled. >> all right, erica hill in new york, thank you so much. speaking of new york, new york's democratic governor andrew cuomo seems to be on something of a victory tour congratulating the state and himself for defeating the virus, even selling this poster, which shows his state getting over the mountain by bringing down the curve during the 111 days of hell, as the governor put it. the there are no illustrations, however, of the more than 32,000 dead new yorkers, the highest death toll by far of any state. no rendering on that poster of criticism that governor cuomo ignored warnings, no depiction of the s

here she is being interviewed by the journal of the american medical association. she makes a really, really important point here. watch this. >> so 35,000, 40,000 cases, that's just under 1,000 for a few days. what's your sense of what the last week's been like, ann? >> you know, i think there was a lot of wishful thinking around the country that, hey, summer, everything's going to be fine. we're over this. and we are not even beginning to be over this. there's a lot of worrisome factors about the last week or so. you know, these increases are in many places. it's not just new york city, the geographic area. it's so many geographic areas. this is really that beginning, and what we hope is that we can take it seriously and slow the transmission in these places. but what i think is very discouraging is we're clearly not at a point where there's so little virus being spread that it's going to be easy to snuff out. we're not in the situation of new zealand or singapore or korea where they have, you know, a new case is rapidly identified and all the contacts are traced

pretty bleak picture for coronavirus this winter's speaking at a webinar with the journal of the american medical association today. >>doctor robert redfield express concern about the virus spreading during flu season and he also thinks cases at the beginning of the pandemic were drastically under reported. >>between margin in april and may when trump be actually had 20 million infections in the united states even though we only diagnosed to millions. so if you do do the math that means we're having a 15200,000 fiction today even though we're only diagnosing you know 20,008 days even though i don't want to be misinterpreted that i think the current situation. it is good. it's not we have a very significant problem right now particularly inch in florida texas, arizona california know south carolina looks like things are starting heat up in parts of tennessee. so this is a serious issue i am worried. i do think the fall in the winter of 2020 in 2020 wanted to be the probably one of the most difficult times that we experienced and the american public health because of what you said the cold currents of covid an

"the journal of the american medical association," jama, estimated the covid-19 death toll between march and may in the u.s. could be 28% higher than the official death toll reported. what do you think, what does it mean going forward? >> it's an interesting study that looked to compare the death rates from the spring to one year ago. and it found that when looking at the total number of patients who died, that there was an increase that couldn't totally be explained just by the reported numbers of covid-19 deaths. which leads to the question, at else caused this in and so their conclusions included that there were secondary deaths due to covid-19, such as patients not coming in to seek health care in a timely manner. >> we learned today that labs across the country are currently near or at capacity due to the increasing demand for coronavirus tests in recent days. your thoughts? >> i think overall this is a good thing. to my knowledge, the companies aren't necessarily running out of the tests themselves, but it's more a matter of the capacity that they're able to process these tests. >>

there is new data from the "journal of the american medical association" which says young kids who werenfected may have as much virus in their nose and mouth as us adults do. most kids do not suffer from severe symptoms, and it's unclear if having that much in their nose and mouth affects their ability to spread it to people. as we've said and continue to say the doctors are still learning, and so are we. >> i know this. nobody wants to take any chances with their children, but to think about covid and a possible hurricane? david, it's just too much. thank you very much. >>> the $600 extra weekly unemployment benefits are officially ending today for millions of americans. lawmakers, though, are still struggling to find a way to keep them going. another 1.4 million people filed for unemployment benefits last week. this comes as the economy plunged nearly 33% at an annual rate in the second quarter. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with more on this. what is the latest on the deadlock there? >> well, the latest, gayle is that leaders from both sides negotiated late into the night, trading

in a study published in the "journal of the american medical association" federal researchers lo looked which looked at if you have been exposed regardless of symptoms because many without symptoms don't realize they are infected and contagious, experts say it's important everyone wears a mask in public. this simulation at florida atlantic university shows how a well constructed home-made cloth mask can block a cough from spreading respiratory droplets more than a few inches but when the cough is uncovered the droplets can spread more than eight feet. if you are in the path, a mask offers limited protection when you are on the receiving end. >> it's about 20% to 30%. it's not zero. there is some protection. but if we are all wearing a mask, the protection jumps about 80%. reporter: when combined with social distancing and frequent hand washing, you increase your odds even more of avoiding this nasty virus. back to you. connell: jonathan, thanks. jonathan serrie live from atlanta. we stay on this subject, as a company called covax that has been partnering with the university of nebraska
