cases are spiking dramatically across the sunbelt. in texas the governor has started rolling back the state's reopening plans. bars were ordered to close today. restaurant capacity is being scaled back. you can see why. the state is seeing exponential growth in cases and hospitalizations and the rise continues. in florida the state said today, it will shut down bars as well. the number of cases there are exploding. the state reported an astonishing 8,000 plus cases. closer to 9,000 in one day. basically, doubling in one 24-hour period. that's one 24-hour period but it makes you wonder, what will the next 24 hours look like? these moves in two southern states may cause other southern states to scale back as well. cases are spiking all across the sunbelt. in some cases at exponential levels. while some places see their numbers decline, the sheer scale has men this country case curve bends in the wrong direction. we are almost back to square one. we're seeing an increase in hospitalizations which means we expect the number of deaths will

i think there will be a temptation for people to look at these sunbelt states that have been reopening and putting suggestack to work and the reopening has to do what we are seeing in the last week or so. frankly in the case of each of these states, they reopened almost two months ago. cases, their new cases from testing were low and steady, the positivity rate was low. , andwe are observing today i've heard this from florida, texas, and some other states. we are seeing more and more of 35people under the age who are testing positive. in many cases, they have no symptoms. but they are coming forward and confirming they have contracted the coronavirus. we are working with the states. embeddeddc personnel in every state of the union. we are surging more cdc personnel as requested to help them unpack what the data is suggesting. i know the governor of texas announced some new measures, which we fully support. is what we are going to do give our state leadership the best information. message thatis one comes through, i hope it is saying to younger americans in these states and counties in

we are hoping in the sunbelt at the moment.nt are seeing schools of death and adjust, some local and some not. williams college cut their tuition yesterday to eliminate sports i believe for the fall. that's fine. what about the kids? what about nursery schools, elementary schools, middle schools. is there a national consensus on what they would or should or can do? not, and it's a tremendously difficult question because obviously that's a huge priority. everything we are hearing about the relative success of remote good and it's not very it is especially bad for the kids most likely to be left behind in low-income neighborhoods, and poorly performing schools. and also just for the economy, it is such a priority to get kids back in schools of people can get back to work. that needs to be the priority. that needs to be the specific policy goal going forward, and if the reopening trajectory is it going to get us there to have us at a place for that possible, it needs to change substantially. >> thank you so much. pharmacologyful w

what we can see right now, the sunbelt, we can see right now, the sunbelt, we are expecting to see continuedll across the country in the world. now what we also expect however is that will become more intense as the seasons change and people start spending more time indoors. because one of the things we know about the virus is that it transmits much more effectively and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. as a result of that, even though we can expect there to be more activity the next two months, we can expect that it will accelerate again as we approach the fall and winter. interesting stuff. thank you for talking to us. let's look at some of the day's other news the police chief of mexico city says he has survived an assassination attempt by a powerful drugs cartel. omar garcia harfush was shot and injured when gunmen opened fire in a wealthy part of the mexican capital. he has blamed the jalisco new generation gang. two of his bodyguards and a woman who was driving past the scene of the attack were killed. a court in turkey is reported to have jailed 121 people for life, for taking part in

i think there will be a temptation for people to look at the sunbelt state that have been reopening and putting people back to work. suggest the reopening has to do with what we are seeing in the last week or so but in the case of each of these states, the reopened almost two months ago in some cases. there test cases, new cases from testing was low and steady, positivity rate was low. what we are observing today, and i've heard this from florida, texas and some other states along the sunbelt, we are seeing more and more young people under the age of 35 who are testing positive. in many cases, they have no symptoms but they are coming forward and confirming they have contracted the coronavirus. we are working with the state, he speak about our plan, we got cdc personnel embedded in every state in the union. they are searching for cdc personnel as requested to each state to help them unpack what the data is suggesting. the government of texas announced new measures this morning which we fully support but what we are going to continue to do is give our state leadership the very best infor

tonight known cases are up in at least 30 states, especially across the sunbelt.se states you see here, some that raced to reopen, are now retreating. others have hit pause. coronavirus cases in the u.s. have now reached more than 2.5 million, the death toll above 125,000. that's the worst of any other country in the world. cbs' janet shamlian is in houston and leads us off.or n, e highs. here in houston, intensive care units are full, and officials are calling it an "uncontrollable spread." tonight, texas is hitting the brakes. bars across the lone star state are shut down tonight. >> we don't know how long we're going to be closed for this round. it could be weeks or months. >> reporter: and a reversal for restaurants, scaling back to 50% n'pacity. >> it doesn't look like we're going to be over this any time soon. >> reporter: a drastic retreat by governor greg abbott, who late friday, expressed regret about reopening. >> if i could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars. >> reporter: as cases surge, houston's bay

this time across the sunbelt. in 21 states, hospitalizations are surging. and in 23 states, the rate of those testing positive is increasing. a sign there's more covid in the community. >> we are now seeing a disturbing surge of infections that looks like it's a combination, but one of the things is, an increase in community spread. and that's something that i'm really quite concerned about. >> reporter: texas today hitting a record, nearly 5,50 cases. children's hospital in houston now taking adult patients to free up beds in other hospitals. and the governor, who early on resisted issuing a stay at home order, now telling kbtx-tv, texans should stay home when possible. >> the safest place for you is at your home. >> reporter: today in phoenix, throngs of people, including 3,000 students, packing into this megachurch to see the president. just a fraction of those lining up outside wearing masks. >> if a person feels like they don't need to wear a mask, i don't think they should be forced to wear a mask. >> reporter: dr. sam durrani told us his hospital sys

and i know there is a temptation to associate the new cases in the sunbelt with reopening, but it ismportant to remember that states like florida and like texas actually began to open up in early may. for the better part of six weeks, john, we did not see any significant movements. in my conversations with governors in florida and in texas and in arizona, and in particular we're monitoring very closely their hospitalization rate, and we continue to be very confident they have the supplies and the support and the capacity to give people the level of care that any of us would want a family member to have. >> john: you're talking about being able to monitor the situation. the argument is that the situation shouldn't be existing in the first place. europe waited longer to reopen, and they have seen less trouble in reopening. in florida, since memorial day, cases are up 165%. there are almost 10,000 cases in a single day in florida. something happened, and it is not just a question of monitoring. te experts are saying these states walked into a problem with their eyes wide open because th

there are half a million cases in the sunbelt and i'm particularly concerned about those hospitalizationszations are what we think of as a lagging indicator, because they're a little bit behind the actual infections because infections happen in the past and a few weeks later, people start being hospitalized. a few weeks after that, people start dying. to be very clear, what's been going on across the south because of different types of testing, but the fact it's happening pretty much everywhere indicates we have a real problem on our hands there >> what do you say about the treatment for those who were involved in the first wave where we knew very little, where ventilator treatment was one of the first methods used and often to poor effect are the methods improving? are the prospects improving for coronavirus, and does it even matter does this really come down to hospital capacity, icu kpaflcapy and if that's a lagging indicator, for those areas that may be considering shutdowns, how should they know when to impose them? >> it's a really great question. first of all, to improvements in tr

i think there will be a temptation for people to look at the sunbelt states that have been reopening and putting people back to work. and suggested that the reopening has to do with what we're seeing in last week or so. frankly in the case of each of those states, they reopened in some cases almost two months ago. and their test cases, their new cases from testing was slow and steady, their positivity rate was low. what we're observing today -- and i've heard this from florida, from texas and some other states along the sunbelt -- is that we're seeing more and more young people under the age of 35 who are testing positive. in many cases they have no symptoms. but they're coming forward and confirming that they have contracted the coronavirus. we're working with the states, you speak about our plan, we've got cdc personnel embedded in every state in the union. we're surging more cdc personnel as requested to each of these states to help them unpack what the data is suggesting. i know the governor of texas announced some new measures this morning which we fully support. but what we're

even as we see infections jumping across the country, particularly in places like sunbelt states, weee signs of increasing cases in places like arizona and houston. we have not heard from the coronavirus task force in quite a bit. vice president pence says the task force continues to work, but when we hear the administration, particularly president trump talking about the virus, he is usually talking about how his rise in cases is due to testing. just about an hour ago, trump was in wisconsin and said the u.s. rise in cases is because of this increase in testing, and he said without that testing, there would not actually be these cases. shyave seen president trump about changes in behavior or the need to open up, and officials are downplaying this resurgence, pointing to stabilization or even declining rates in other states. trump even today said the death rate remains low and that deaths have not begun to climb, again pointing to testing as the main reason for the same reason cases -- for this increase in cases. all of his focus were means on reopening, and that does not seem to be

are spiking across the sunbelt as the economy reopens. arizona, texas, and florida have reported highest case numbers yet. from goldmanns us sachs. thank you so much for talking to bloomberg surveillance. when you look at the difference in the market, they started off being worried about a second wave. now they seem to be much -- taking it much more in their stride. is it all about government and monetary stimulus? i think we are having some technical difficulties with christian of goldman sachs, but we will actually fix the line. these things kind of happen when everyone is working from home. i don't know if you can hear me now. i think we have fixed of the line. i hope we can talk about the market. >> yes, i can hear you. francine: fabulous. how do you look at the second wave of infections in beijing and the u.s.? what does that mean for the economies and the market? >> yes, markets have clearly shifted toward the recovery and pricing growth. that has been a story for the last three weeks. there are a lot of fears about the second wave

good thing about the sunbelt is they shut down at the same time the northeast did and they weren't evenses. so back in and of march and early april, i was talking to hospital systems in florida and they were shut down and had no cases so they were able to be more prepared than the northeast hospitals because of the timing. francine: good morning from london. if there is a second wave or a resurgence of cases in the first wave, whatever this is, how will they do things differently this time? david:. >> i think they just know how to treat patients, that is the main thing. like i said, this was a coronavirus that was novel. people are finding out it was more, not just a respiratory virus, but also a blood vessel virus. it is attacking different organs. now they know how to treat people where they did not know how to treat them before. for example, a lot of people were having strokes and heart attacks. now they are putting patients on blood thinner, which they did not know months ago. so the treatment is better. than knowledge is more in-depth. if we have a second surge, i don't think it wi

so in the last 7—14 days, there's been an increase in positive case rates in the sunbelt states in thearizona, i've seen a 400% increase in anosmia search terms. south carolina i'm seeing a 300% increase. on the other hand, there's been a drop in the last 7—14 days in michigan. the correlation is exact between the increases and the decreases that have happened. so right now, what is your research telling you about where we might see an increase in cases next? so one area that stands out is definitely houston, where i'm seeing a 3x increase in search volume for anosmia starting ijune. is there a strong chance people are just searching for those symptoms because they've heard about in the news, rather than they've got it themselves? so i can see the word for word searches that do correlate with the keyword. people are literally entering terms like, "i can't smell since tuesday, what do i do?", "i lost my sense of taste and smell, what does that mean?". you know, i see those kinds of searches. i don't see anything that would tell me that these searchers know what anosmia is, they've heard

at a pandemic, but it is worsening condition of the virus in the sunbelt. jonathan: you're right to say it is not equivalent because it is not, but it certainly is concerning regardless. for many market participants, they've had confidence there is a higher bar to shutting down these economies once again. that teller into policy makers is beginning to be tested over the next several days. will it constrain the reopening process? will it hit his mrs. and consumers -- hit businesses and consumers? that concern is top of the mind. tom: i know we are within a range, but i'm sorry, i observed gold really out but your stop out,st and -- really up against an $1800 price target. lisa: i cannot say for gold, but i will just say, taking a step back to the point about resurgence of virus, jonathan golub saying yesterday he had conviction in equities because the increase in virus counts were not coinciding with an in recent deaths. this is the? deaths.an increase in this is the question. mark. are people getting better, or is this a precursor for more hospitalizations

. >> alex: june has been very hot in the sunbelt states, it's typically hot in texas and arizona, drivene indoors and use air-conditioning. there may be real community spread from that. clearly people this month became more comfortable going out and going to congregate settings like bars and restaurants and that may be driving the spread. also another thing that's happened which is more testing in hospital rights right now with people in elective surgery and also testing -- the states have been better at testing people in congregate settings like migrant workers in dormitories where there's a lot of asymptomatic spread. here is the most crucial case about this. cases have gone up spectacular now in the last 2 weeks. i don't think anybody can argue that, but what has also happened, there's been this disconnect between positive tests leading to hospitalizations and hospitalizations leading to deaths, so a number of death that is the states are reporting, the 3 big sunbelt state which is have 60 million people total really has not changed in the last 2 months. it was actually down a little

>> well, look, today, just today, four key sunbelt states following trump's cues who opened early, whoefused to change course as case loads have mounted and who conspicuously have blocked democratic local officials from regulating or slowing the pace of the reopening, those four states, texas, florida, arizona, they alone reported more than 20,000 cases. and in all of those states, the case load is concentrated most intently in the big metropolitan centers. that's important, because the big metros, the urban and suburban areas of the sun bebel have not moved toward the democrats nearly as much until trump's election. and i look at maricopa county, arizona as the classic example. it was the largest county in america that trump won in 2016. no democrat has won it in the presidential level since 1948. but in all the polling done this spring, trump is trailing there as much as by double digits. today maricopa passed 42,000 cases. the hospital beds are being filled. i don't make a lot of upequivocal predictions. there's almost no chance that he'll be president if he loses that county, and a

even members of his base and especially folks in the sunbelt may find out all evidence to the contrary. >> brian, this is meant to be, this week, the start of the president's comeback. that's what his aides had hoped it would be, capping off with of course his rally saturday night now. it was friday. it's now saturday in tulsa, oklahoma. they were encouraged by some of the economic news in recent weeks. they had really wanted to shift the page, turn the page publicly to focus on the reopening of the nation and the restarting of its economy. the pandemic is stubborn and is not really letting them. as you just said, the coronavirus task force, we haven't seen much of them. there's been no briefing in a month and a half. they're only meeting now once or twice a week. they are monitoring, we're told -- dr. birx is leading this, the uptick in cases. it's too early to say still whether or not we're seeing any from the mass protests that we have seen across the nation. the rise we are seeing is clearly from the reopening. it's from states that have gone back to work, that have begun phasing b

today --re observing and i have heard this from florida, texas and some other istes along the sunbelt -- that we are seeing more and more of 35people under the age who are testing positive. in many cases, they have no symptoms, but they are coming forward and confirming that they have contracted the coronavirus. we are working with the state. you speak about our plan. we have cdc personnel embedded in every state in the union, surging more cdc personnel as requested to each of these states to help them unpack with the data is suggesting. i know the governor of texas announced some new measures this morning which we fully support, but what we will continue to do is give our state leadership the very best information, the best council that we have. if there is one message that comes through today, i hope it is saying to younger americans in these states and in these , thenes in particular they are a big part of the numbers we are seeing in new cases. while there may not be a significant threat of a serious health outcome to them, i know of no young person -- i have three thirtysomething

one of the things you are seeing coast-to-coast and the sunbelt is you are seeing more cases particularly amongst young people route the entire region. i don't know exactly why that region as opposed to other places, but i think part of it may be, as it gets hotter, people are going to want to go indoors more and be in the air conditioning. the air conditioning is not going to be your friend when it comes to the virus. the virus will do much better when it's an enclosed, air-conditioned space than in terms of outdoor activities. outdoors is your friend. the sunshine is your friend. the heat and humidity is your friend. if you are doing different things, keep that in mind. we also at the beginning of may when we did phase one advised all floridians that if you can't socially distance, wear a mask to protect yourself and those around you. and particularly, if you are in businesses that are face-to-face that have close contact, it is important you are doing that to protect yourself and others. practice good hygiene. wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. of course, if y

this comes after a dramatic rise in the cases and deaths in several sunbelt states. that is due not only to more tests being carried out. ofsome areas, more than /14 the tests are coming back -- 1/4 of the tester coming back positive. some countieies are closing, including los angeless county, home to more than 10 milillion people. it seems this will soon be a diststant mememory as many c cis close their businesess added the busy fourtrth of july weeeend -- ahead of the busy fourth of july weend. >> we are putting our doctors and nurses at risk with more cases. everyone must follow the rules. reporter: more than 500,000 people have now died from covid-19 across the globe, 1/4 of those in the united states. anchor: the state of mississippi to remove the confederate battle emblem from its state flag. mississippi is the last of the 50 states to c cap the symbol of segregation on its flag. the design was adopted more than a century ago by white supremacist legislators in the aftermath of the civil war. reporter: this is the state flag of mississippi, but only for a few m

that positivity rates are coming back from the castings was also on the rise on what he calls the sunbeltnt is different from the situation they faced months ago. you rightly point out that he is obviously highlighting the death rate, which is decreasing, but as you point out, the number of hospitalisations, positive cases, that is going up in the 16 states and that has implications, doesn't it, for all of the united states? yes, it does. it is worth pointing out that the positivity, the tests are coming out positive, and this is what they will say to you, are rising, but they are not rising state—wide in a kind of a com pletely not rising state—wide in a kind of a completely generic way. you do not ta ke completely generic way. you do not take the whole of florida, they will point out to you that the double digit positive returns on tests are only in about 3% of us counties. there are a lot of counties in the united states, but that is dozens and dozens and dozens of counties, but it is not uniform, even across the states that are reporting these rises. that is true and that is why they

i think there will be a temptation for people to look at these sunbelt states that have been reopening and putting suggestack to work and the reopening has to do what we are seeing in the last week or so. frankly in the case of each of these states, they reopened almost two months ago. cases, their new cases from testing were low and steady, the positivity rate was low. , andwe are observing today i've heard this from florida, texas, and some other states. we are seeing more and more of 35people under the age who are testing positive. in many cases, they have no symptoms. but they are coming forward and confirming they have contracted the coronavirus. we are working with the states. embeddeddc personnel in every state of the union. we are surging more cdc personnel as requested to help them unpack what the data is suggesting. i know the governor of texas announced some new measures, which we fully support. is what we are going to do give our state leadership the best information. message thatis one comes through, i hope it is saying to younger americans in these states and counties in

s sunbelt states. had a record number of cases while infections in florida jump. great to have you on the program, as always. if you are a market participant, the fluctuate looking at the recovery given the stimulus and pitted against infections. does it make a difference if it is first or second wave? >> the first thing is that this is a known unknown. markets are not oblivious to reinfection risks so in that sense, i think we are very much aware of itin so it would make a if weence and so far -- were to see outbreaks getting out of control, it would damage market sentiment. so far, what we are seeing in outbreaks, we expect but at the same time, signs they are being contained. haveina overnight, we only seen nine new cases so the recent outbreak in beijing seems under control. i think they are very much known unknowns. francine: if you look at the regions and you look at asia compared to europe and the u.s., in the past, one of the --stions was whether asia because it has dealt with this earlier than anyone else, was almost at the forefront of the recovery. what

the sunbelt states are worrisome particularly some people believe will florida be the next new york or tri-state area. i think only time will tell. it depends on what the people do. i think in the bay area we are beyond the worst. we expect to see a surge in the fall and based on a bunch of different things like schools reopening etc. in terms of overall i am hoping that the worst is over but again, things are so dynamic right now. >> it is horrible to see so many people out of work whose businesses have been shut down and i know some people have had to close their businesses for good because they have been out of business now for so long. can you foresee a time when things are completely back to normal and where we do not worry about getting into an elevator with someone and don't worry about shaking hands with someone and do not think about the coronavirus. have things changed forever in the united states and around the world? >> there are things that will be different and things will be a little bit back to the lives that we aspire to. this first phase is until we get the vaccine. a
