patel, welcome back interest thank you. separating fact from fiction is what we do, kristen. >> it is what we do what you do, i understand you found a fun new way to do that. i think it's called the quiz, which has me really scared. okay? >> no, it will be awesome. i also secretly wanted to be a game show host. you tell me when you are ready. >> we'll do it. we'll run through a few headlines quickly. part of that is catching up with that backlog do you you to the computer glitch we had. so given all that is california trending in the right direction? >> overall, the bay area is what we can focus on. we'll separate the northern and southern, the bay area, it is moving the right direction. hospitalizations are actually down in all nine areas, ranging from 16 to 17% in san francisco to places like san san san ss they're still dead center every day, we saw over 100 deaths in the bay area as well. we need to see with tests back logd. this is good news, it tells everyone the caution everyone has had right now is working. >> okay.

alok patel, our special correspondent and dr. patel, a whole lot to talk about. we hope to get the salon owner to personally ask you some pressing questions that she has for you. but i want to start with some covid-19 headlines. because we've been getting questions on social media of people going a little crazy over the cdc saying that 6% of people who died of covid had just covid and covid alone and the other 90 had underlying condition, what does this mean, the u.s., had 183 something is that how we should read that? >> no, not at all. this is what the statistic means. on the death statistics of everyone who died condition listed and the other 94% did die of covid-19 has other co-morbidities listed. may have had asthma, hypertension, you name it. all it's saying is only 6% had covid-19 listed by i.t. on the death certificate. it's a really important distinction. >> the difference of diving with the virus. >> people who died from covid-19 and no other underlying conditions. versus people who died from covid-19 but also had underlying conditions as well. basicall

patel, don't be so negative. you are scaring people i'm about to take that moniker from you, scarer in chief. i have been wondering this morning over my coffee, i'm wondering can this virus lie dormant like shingles and flare up in you like decades later? >> well, we're not decades later for me to be able to tell you that. but you know one misnomer is thinking that only severe cases of coronavirus are debilitating. because there are reports of people who have what was classified as mild-to-moderate symptoms that lasted for two, three months. they still had fatigue, headaches. a whole assortment of symptoms. so there are some scientists and doctors who theorize the virus may lie dormant and reinfect people or perhaps it has a slow phase of laboring. some people made the speculation it can remain dormant. people were testing positive thinking they were recovering and they test positive again. it's not they got reinfected. they had the same virus. it kind of hung out in their body. we don't know. ufortunately, right

patel joins us now. i know you've had a busy day following the headlines and being a doctor, but governor newsom today announced a new partnership to more than double our testing capacity for covid. so adding about 150,000 tests a day and promising results in under 48 hours. how significant is that? >> it's huge. the availability of testing is important. not only with surveillance testing but a population might be exposed but get back to work and result back in order to protect the families at home but also having this much testing available is a really good sign when it comes to talking about reopening businesses and bringing kids back to school. you cannot do it without adequate testing. >> even more important with the twin dem nick. >> we can have both pandemic and epidemic happening at the same time. the twindemitwindemics. we already have a lot of hospitals out there at major capacity with flu season alone. we're not even talking about covid-19. you can see adult and children hospital icus packed wi

the daily mail says home secretary, priti patel, is embroiled in a row, after claiming migrants werethey feared they would be tortured. and the sunday people predicts the country won't recover from the current recession till 2023. it is not all as pessimistic as that, but we are starting with some difficult news after a difficult week for a—level students and their families and indeed the people in education who are trying to help them. let's start with the front page of the mirror, if we can, and it is pretty empathetic to the government at the better times but this has not been the best of times for government, has it? certainly not. the a—level and the handling of the results was never going to go well but it has been even more disastrous than we could have fed and so everybody is now calling for the head, and gavin williamson. let's put aside the row of a—levels, and bring the row of the gcses, how can they get rid of the gcses, how can they get rid of the education secretary when we are trying to get schools back, something on which the economy depends? there are huge numbers of

nigel, priti patel in a racist french storm.hat migrants are coming to britain because they have got to escape prejudice and worse in france. hardly the way to actually win friends and influence people. what priti patel is saying is that what she was doing there was a zoom crawl with tory mps, what she was doing was quoting what migrants say about france. either way, doing was quoting what migrants say about france. eitherway, it doing was quoting what migrants say about france. either way, it was probably an ill—advised comment to make. when you look at the french record, there is racism in france, just as there is in britain, but 9% of the french population are immigrants. that's 6.5 million people. so it is hardly as if they turn all migrants away. so, inflammatory words like this from priti patel aren't going to help when at the moment what we really need, especially again, sorry to mention it, brexit happening by the end of year, what we really need is cooperation between the british and the french, to find a humane way of

kavita patel and phil rucker, pulitzer prize winning writer. does donald trump want relief for unemployed americans? >> you know, nicolle, he says he does and he's threatened by the way to take executive action to try to create some of that relief if congress doesn't come to an agreement here but we have to underscore how striking it's been these last few weeks to see the president largely absence from these negotiations on capitol hill, certainly his chief of staff mark med douse and his treasury secretary steve mnuchin are negotiating on his behalf but that is not an active president involved in these talks, they're trying to use whatever political muscle or capital he may have at the white hou house. in past crises for the government, the shutdown i'm thinking of at the end of 2018 and other instances was very involved in day-to-day conversations with legislators. he's been an absent leader. >> i'd love your thoughts on the breaking news that new york governor cuomo has given a green light for district to district decisions on school reopeni

the problem, patel says, is the city board of elections and the u.s.ostal service were grossly underprepared for the massive number of people voting by mail due to the coronavirus pandemic. according to the board of elections, more than 400,000 ballots compared to 30,000. drawing to the attention to president trump. >> everyone knows mail-in ballots are a disaster. take a look at new york city. >> reporter: adding to the that, patel said is thousands of missing or late or missing postmarks or signatures. >> most have signatures saying signed june 16th, they're not going to get counted. >> reporter: what does the city or state board of election venezuela to say abohave to say about these problems? our repeats requests for interview denied. the state board saying local jurisdictions had to deal with more than a 12-fold increase in absentee ballots and had to follow protocol and social distancing and new york governor andrew cuomo who decided in april to send abosentee ballots to all registered acknowledged the system has to be improved and the clock is t

patel about these headlines beginning with that new testing effort.he first time several states are joining together to form a compact on testing in hopes of reducing wait times. right now, seven states from louisiana to massachusetts have signed on. what do you make of this new bipartisan effort? >> first of all, i like the fact that it's bipartisan. it's showing us that fixing something like testing requires people getting together, and ignoring the politics. it will be interesting to watch and see what their plan is and see it unfold and see if other states can work together or if we can just adopt their strategy at large, as an entire nation. >> we just got some encouraging news about a possible vaccine. what are you hearing about the early trial results from novavax? >> what i'm hearing is good news from their phase one trial. not only did it show a pretty modest t-cell response, but it also showed that people who received the vaccine developed four times the neutralizing antibodies as those who naturally got the coronavirus, which is great, beca
