that it can still be beneficial for people who are fighting covid—i9, even though the us food and drug administrationto be used for the treatment of coronavirus patients. but the president still believes it is potentially positive. he also talked about some tweets about overnight that have been deleted, at least those tweets that he retweeted seem to suggest that there was limited value in wearing a mask and also tweets that were promoting hydroxychloroquine and the president again, he insisted that he believed that this truck was beneficial when pressed. that was the moment where he decided to end the news conference. he clearly did not want to get into another round of arguments with reporters. the other issue that was interesting was talking about the doctor that is missed chief medical adviser through all of this and whose judgement yes question over the past few days and says he still supports doctor fauci, but then he made quite a remarkable statement about the doctor's opinion poll ratings. his popularity with the american people for stop suggesting that he was much more popular than he was hi

period of time because he had sent out some misleading information that we know that the us food and drug administration revoked its permission for this drug hydroxychloroquine to be used by the president again insisting that he believed in it, he says he has spoken to some doctors and as far as he is concerned, he has himself taken it, he believes it is worth trying. just think it is extremely good, some people don't, i think it has become very political. i happen to believe in it, i would take it, as you know i took it for a 14 day period and i'm here, right? i'm here. i happen to think it works in the early stages, frontline medical people believe that to. some. many. so we will take a look at it. meanwhile, peter, the us daily death toll is up again, its highest in nearly two and a half month. the numbers are looking really grim stopping nearly 150,000 people have died in this country from coronavirus. florida seeing its highest daily increase in the number of cases and there is a real sense now that this country is, at least in part, in the sunbelt states like warwick, texas, arizona, that it is lo

using d.n.a. from aliens trump also reasserted his support for hydroxy chloroquine as a treatment despite several studies that disprove it and last month the u.s. food and drug administration cautioned against using the drug because of health issues and also after an outcry the conservative sinclair broadcast group suspended plans to run a segment featuring a conspiracy theory that the falsely claims top infectious disease expert and thinks that she created the virus and shipped it to china where we can now speak to colleen sinclair she is an associate professor of social psychology at mississippi state university and she joins us now on skype from start for thanks for being with us and are numerous health experts now have criticized the confused messaging when it comes to this pandemic in the u.s. can you give us a read of where it is that moment do people know what they need to do to protect themselves and others. well that's a hard question i mean it's hard to know exactly what everybody knows i would like to recommend and like to put out there that i believe the majority of individuals are aware of the virus being a problem being serious and necessary steps that are ne

and vaccines out the other end. i used to work at the food and drug administration. i know firsthand that that agency does not cut corners when it comes to making sure that the products that come to market are safe and effective. so just because you hear those collaborations, just because you hear things are going quickly, that doesn't mean that what comes out the other end won't be something that's helpful, useful and that we can have trust in. >> let me ask a scientific question then if i can. there's just so much about this virus we don't know. so much we don't understand. so as our knowledge base evolves, will the vaccines evolve as well? essentially, how do developers keep up with the science? >> the good news is that the scientists are collaborating with each other and communica communicating with each other. so as we learn new things, we're incorporating that into the research. the other piece of good news is that the virus doesn't seem to be mutating as quickly as the influenza vaccine. so it's letting us catch up. it's letting our knowledge really take hold

it's called the food and drug administration. it's not perfect, but they use all of the best scientists and outside research experts in the world to evaluate these trials and these drugs. it's not a simple thing. it takes professionals. all of us, i think, don't want to be listening to our favorite politicians tell us, i think this drug is good. i think this drug is bad because we don't know if they know how to interpret real-world evidence or data or science. i would rather we use evidence. and to the credit of the fda, although i don't think it was the right decision, they were -- they did what trump asked them to do. they created an emergency use order so that people could use hydroxychloroquine. they later then got evidence which showed that it was problematic and wasn't working effectively, and so they pulled it back. so no one can say that we're not trying, and if someone comes forward and presents evidence to the fda which shows that this works, that would be fantastic. but let's wait for that. >> andy slavitt, it's always a pleasure to have you on our

food and drug administration has given an emergency approval for top lab commercial labs to start using pool samples for testing which essentially means that samples from up to 4 people can be tested together and if there is ult comes back negative that means health officials will know that all the individuals that test that the virus will be negative but if there was a positive result then it would be followed up by individual testing but many fear that this would just add more chaos and confusion because in some states like texas and arizona. some people already waiting in line for hours to get tested so imagine telling those people you might be positive and then have him come back to get tested again when you think about all this with what's happening in the u.s. where are the hot spots right now so here's some hot spots that actually broke some records over the weekend in california los angeles just reported the highest number of hospitalizations in just one day and on saturday both georgia and north carolina reported a single day increases again on saturday and arizona they reporte
