coyotes are spspecies that most people know live in the l.a. area, but people think that they live in the mountains-- ountainousus areas or griffifith park, where there's more open space, but really don't think of them as animals able to adapt to this type of landscape. [car alarm beeps] back to the ranger station. yeah, so, we're in griffith park, and here e is one right here. this park is surrounded by freeway, by urbanization, by some major barriers for wildlife. so, we just saw two, maybe 3 coyotes within this picnic area. so, they know that this resource is here on a regular basis. coyotes are doing pretty well in this urban landscape thanks to their adaptability, but the mountain lions are another story. they really need some help if they're going to have a population here for multiple generations to come. i use camera traps, which are motion-activated cameras that have a sensor in front that's triggered by motion or heat that allows me to document wildlife that is using a particular area. an each photo or each image is time- - and date-stampe

we spoke with a manager of a gym in the l.a. area.a listen to what he had to say. >> i don't see how most small businesses or brick and mortar businesses move past this. it's absolutely devastating. simply just wearing this could have prevented this. we've known about this for months. we've known common sense dictates wearing your mask could have stopped this and slowed the spread. instead we wanted to party and drink. this was so completely avoidable, it makes me sad. >> reporter: as bad as things might seem right now, l.a.'s mayor has warned the restrictions here in los angeles could get even tighter if things don't improve. ayman. >> joe fryer, thanks for joining me this entire hour. appreciate your insights as always. thanks to all of you at home for watching this hour of "msnbc live." i'm ayman mohyeldin. after a quick break, a lot more news with my friend craig melvin. new adventures. you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past... they may be missing vacci

san bernardino county, ventura, all of these places in and around the l.a. area are just exploding.a that is not is san francisco. they did some individual work to try to tamp down on the virus early on, they never let up on their restrictions, they're doing a bit better, but really across the state, the numbers are widespread, and it's scary for a lot of residents who live here. >>> steve, thank you. i know our chyron there said phoenix, it's okay, you're definitely in burbank. thank you for your reporting. much appreciated. >>> speaking of some graphic corrections, we wanted to give you some corrected numbers for virus tests in america. our data system had an incorrect number. we it on air. you may have seen that it said 152,000 deaths. the number you see on the screen right now is the accurate number. 143,000 is accurate. and we made -- had we made that kind of jump, trust me. it would have been major news. and the president is walking in. with that, let's go to the white house. >> today my administration reached an historic agreement with pfizer to produce and deliver 100 millio

here in the l.a. area we know that some of those businesses like hair salons and gyms have only been open for a few weeks. now they're having to shut down again. we spoke with one gym owner here in the los angeles area. small business. you're already living on the margins. this could be very difficult. take a listen to what he had sosay. >> with this shutdown, no end in sight and with the numbers we have, i don't see how this business survives. i don't see how most businesses survive. >> that's an issue many small businesses are dealing with. also near california, schools are a major topic. two huge school districts, l.a. and san diego making huge announcements saying when classes resume the fall next month, they will not go back into actual physical classrooms. they will start with online, remote learning. how long is that going to last? it's unclear, but the school districts just looked at the rising number of cases. that concerned them too much. those two major school districts not going back to physica

patients from some of the smaller communities across the state take a listen to what one nurse in the l.a. area told us >> we're getting patients, covid patients transferred from as far as like 60, 70 miles away because there's no room for them in their area hospitals. and i just think that's a troubling sign it's a long ride to make it all the way over here, and try to get them and keep them stable along the way. >> you may recall last week the big news in california, the governor rolling back some of the reopenings across the state. about 80% of the state's barber shops and salons had to close down now the governor says those places can reopen if they can do those services outdoors. so a little bit of relief for some places that may be able to do some of those services outside. stephanie? >> might be able to do those services outside, but good luck turning a profit this is a very, very complicated time a health crisis that's also sparked a devastating economic crisis joe, thank you >>> i want to turn to south carolina where one doctor there is calling the spike in covid cases ridiculously out

i can tell you, even though it's hard to sometimes get tests in the l.a. areadid just check and there are tests available that can be scheduled for appointments this friday including here at dodger stadium. but those are going to fill up incredibly quickly. it's not just here in l.a. county. it's across the state and across the country. the stigma of testing, more people are realizing how important it is, especially as the economy reopens, especially as maybe more people come in contact with someone who may have been exposed or may have tested positive. one of the issues is that testing supplies in some areas across the country are in short supply. we saw just this week in sacramento county five out of six community testing centers, places that serve underserved communities had to temporarily shut down because of a shortage of supplies. craig, the other worry right now is that labs right now are overwhelmed and it is taking longer sometimes to process the results. >> all right. joe fryer for us there in los angeles. thank you. we've got to get to breaking news

they'll push to keep their businesses open if they're saying we're not being hit like the big metro areas like l.a. san francisco. absolutely what you're seeing those areas start to catch up now in areas that may have not taken mass corner seriously or businesses that may have been more lax in their safety measures numbers in those counties are seeing maybe not the same scale but they're seeing the uptick that's as well and in those areas they may not have the health care system from the bigger areas so they've they will feel that strain much quicker than some of the bigger areas in the state of briefly if you could what about medical facilities hospitals are very prepared for new cases. everything we've heard from state officials public health officials if they are prepared for surge capacity as i mentioned earlier the capacity right now in most hospitals is doing ok there's places like imperial county where we have seen a little is overloaded it's something that officials are really worried about is something they're planning for and week we're in right now is one of the most critical periods ju

apple stores, lot of those stores in the l.a. area also reclosing for the first time.ionals tell us that they are bracing for what they believe is a continuation of a surge, i just interviewed the chief nursing officer here at riverside community hospital and she's talking about what they're doing in preparation including ppe and preserving that, getting ready for what they're bracing for here and here's what she just told me a few hours ago. >> we're very concerned. concerned. i think the healthcare providers across the nation are tired. we're going to be there for everybody. we'll take care of everybody. but we just would really ask for everyone's benefit that everyone be smart. >> reporter: now, the thing that she means there by being smart, wearing your mask, not gathering with family or friends that you don't live with. this comes as 6,000 people have now died of covid-19 here in california, 227,000 cases and growing. nicolle? >> nbc's jo ling kent. thank you. >>> joining our conversation is an infectious disease physician, boston university school of medicine. al

also in the top four metro areas, were l.a.nd next. >>> san francisco has updated the rules about who has to wear face coverings, the rules took effect at midnight. anyone over the age of 10 must now wear a face covering inside of common areas in buildings or when within six feet of another person. also masks should be worn even when alone in an office cubicle. they were already mandatory outside at places like parks and when going for a walk on the sidewalk. the only exception to the rules is if a doctor gives a person a written note exempting them because of a medical condition. >>> well in california, more than half of the positive cases of covid are in the hispanic community. today the governor said the biggest spread is happening with essential workers, mostly farm workers. joining us from watsonville is dr. amy at a community health center that serves the community in watsonville. thank you for everything you are doing and joining us tonight. the latino community has been hit the hardest. what is it like working at the ce

we will continue to work with l.a., with the bay area counties, and all counties throughout the state to make sure staffing there as well as health corps staff are deployed strategically to make sure patients get the level of care they need and that staffing does not become the issue around delivering high-quality care throughout the state. thank you, dr. beard -- doctor. times story l.a. today found that the health department knowingly sent fake vectors from nursing home to nursing home without first testing number covid-19. given the huge number of deaths linked to nursing homes, why aren't vectors required to be tested routinely and has that changed? gov. newsom: yes it has, we have raised our standards and requiring for every sector where an inspector is inspecting, they meet the same criteria that is established within that sector. that has been changed. thes, forgive me, in lexicon of government, a meet and confer issue, but we will resolve the issue. reporter: i just want to understand exactly what you are announcing today. are you signing any executive orders or public health

> evacuees are back in their homes this morning after a fast-moving brush fire swept through an area in l.atually started yesterday afternoon and closed highway 138 between gorman and lancaster. about 300 acres burned, briefly threatened homes there. as of last night it was 40% contained. >>> marine authorities in maine are investigating the death of a woman who witnesses say was killed by a shark. a witness says that she saw one of them tossed out of the water. a scary situation there. so the coast guard officers say that the kayakers brought a pair to shore where the woman was later pronounced dead. if it's confirmed as a shark attack, this would be the first of any kind in the state since 1837 and in that case historians don't know if that attack was fatal. >>> an emergency landing turned one section of i-5 into a runway near camp pendleton. there are some photos to show you here. the pilot says the plane's engine failed just before 1:00 yesterday. first he considered landing on the pacific coast highway but realized it might not be wide enough. so after spotting a traffic break on i-5,

the good news is that capacity at most hospitals specifically in the hardest hit areas in l.a. county do have available beds. we're here at st. joseph's. they've got about half the beds that are full so they could handle the surge. however, with the number of cases that are exploding. it's hard for state officials to get a handle on what's happening. one of the big avenues to do that, of course, as we have been mentioning since the beginning of this is contact tracing. since the numbers are become so vast so quickly, so hard, so fast, it's hard for those contact tracers to keep up. the health and human services secretary spoke about that just a few days ago. i want you to hear about the challenge he says the state is up against. listen to this. >> at the level of transmission we're seeing across the state, even a very, very robust contact tracing program in every single county will have a hard time reaching out to every single case. no one has anticipated building a program to contact trace the level of cases that we're seeing here. l.a. county health officials say about 50% of

l.a. in the santa barbara area was timing about the kindergarten human life curriculum. and i know it's repeated throughout other school districts in california. it's way advanced for a kindergartner. and most parents don't even -- i don't even think they know about it to opt out. and it's controversy on whether the kids could opt out or if they have to automatically happen. that's the kind of stuff that goes on. and your point is an important one. the unions would rather have teachers at home using these online tools because it's a lot more complicated when you are in class trying to teach this stuff. do you think that there is actually a political motive to be at home not that they are misstating the signs are don't know the signs? >> oh, absolutely. but you also have to know is that the teachers union rewrote the scientific method so that this is why we are getting fake science, fake history, fake everything through our schools. because it is their goal to destroy our public schools. look, i think that we could -- we have this perfect opportunity right now where we ca

l.a. the good news in this area is there's plenty of rooms inside hospitals. the bad news is those numbers continue to tick upwards. 6,000, 7,000 people are testing positive every day. l.a. is also home to the largest testing site, dodger stadium. the city here is asking only those people showing symptoms who work in high-risk environments or may have been exposed to someone with the disease to be tested now because that's how overrun the system is, stephanie. >> miguel, thank you. >>> i want to dig deeper into all of this and find out what it means for all of you at home. dr. richard besser joins us, former acting director of the cdc, now president and ceo of the robert wood johnson foundation. i want to start first with hospitals and specifically ppe. we're hearing that some states are running short again. this is like deja vu all over again. and the administration says, no, no problem. the hospitals are just stockpiling supplies. what's the truth? >> well, this is a flashback. this is what happens when you see a pandemic getting out of control. and it doesn'

is it your goal to go, okay, san francisco, l.a., chicago, or is this just a bay area thing?nk san francisco should be leading the charge here. you know, it's a progressive city. it does think very hard about privacy concerns and wants to have local representation. i think it's a good model. i think the model in new york, which is very effective, but it's owned by the city. i think it's way too intrusive, would not be acceptable here. so it would be great if we could prove this model works and expand it, you know, to other neighborhoods, other cities and other states. >> real quick, different topic, i understand you recently had covid-19. what was your experience and for people who are wondering, is this thing real? what was your experience? >> i guess we went to the wrong warriors game, i guess. you know, it was a couple tough days. my wife and i had. but you know, we were lucky we didn't have to go to the hospital. lost our sense of taste and smell, so, you know, couldn't drink wine for a while. but we did recover and we've been trying to give convalescent plasma and trying

it starts to climb overall all over califonia and the bay area is about around that 2.9 interactions per day right now. in l.a. county, it's actually four interactions per day. what's interesting is there seems to be a critical number. somewhere between 2.5 and 3 interactions per day where things get out of control. so what we've been able to see, though, is we actually can control whether things are manageable or not manageable. when we're at that low, one or two interactions per day level, we see cases really taper down. the minute we start getting 2.5, 2.75, 3 interactions per day, then suddenly things start going up. when you hit a critical number, then you see really exponential growth in the covid cases. >> ben, we have about one minute left. i want to show people this other graphic because that's looking at alameda. alameda county is one of the bay area counties where we've seen kind of a recent spike and we've had more rollbacks. show me what's going on here because i see a blue line. that indicates the distance traveled also measured by cell phone. and then the red line, which is human interactions,

l.a. county itself is larger than about 40 other states in the country. and just as diverse. rural areas, suburban areas, urban areas. we have high rates of poverty. the most unfortunate fact playing out in our county and across the country is disproportionality amongst who is infected, and unfortunately and tragically who is dying. our communities, latinos, african-american, black communities, pacific islander communities seeing much higher rates in terms of cases and also unfortunately rates in terms of deaths. that actually requires different strategies for us to actually immediately get into reducing that disproportionality. >> 28 minutes past noon. we figured you were spending so much time at your office, you wouldn't mind spending a few minutes of it with us. we thank you for appearing live with us this afternoon. >>> when we return, the president says schools need to open, 100% is his quote. the american public has a different opinion about the subject as does our next guest, former secretary of education arnie duncan that told us last time he was on with us, there's no body count
