That is a critical marker. Abcs trevor ault is outside a hospital here in new york city with the latest. Good morning to you, trevor. Reporter well, eva, good morning. The u. S. Has now hit 8 million confirmed cases of covid19 but even more concerning than the magnitude of that number is that once again the spread of this virus appears to be intensifying across huge sections of the United States. This morning, americas healthcare workers sounding the alarm as coronavirus cases surge across the u. S. Theres a huge disconnect i think with what the community thinks is happening and what we see happening in the hospital. Reporter this week, 11 states hit new record high case totals, 13 hit record hospitalizations. Two hit record deaths. In wisconsin, now averaging more than 3,000 cases a day broke records in all three categories. Particularly in our rural areas in northeast wisconsin, theres a very huge antimask sentiment and people still dont believe this is a real disease and were seeing some dramatic, very dangerous situations occurring in our community.

Reporter and schools still wrestling with how to safely manage inperson learning. One atlanta district is now going remote until the new year as an entire mississippi high school, 600 students, goes into quarantine. An unfortunate return aboard uss theodore roosevelt, where more than a thousand sailors tested positive months ago, now two positive tests popping up once again. And as we wait for a vaccine, the Trump Administration has announced a deal with cvs and walgreens to get a vaccine administered to nursing home patients and staff for free. Drug Companies Say it is going to take quite some time to manufacture enough doses for the entire country. Dan. So important, though, to protect the people in Nursing Homes and the people who work there. Trevor, thank you very much. Important also to note that we here in the u. S. Are not the only ones seeing a spike in cases. Theyre also rising over in europe and governments there are cracking down. Abcs Julia Macfarlane is on the story from london. Julia, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Thats right. Europe really thought it had beaten the worst of coronavirus but cases are once again soaring as testing has increased and also, dont forget, as winter and flu season draws closer, the hospitals are really starting to fill up. Theyre at pains to stave off the worst of this looming crisis while trying to avoid full national lockdowns. Here in london, 9 Million People have been ordered not to socialize indoors with people not living in their households.

And in madrid, take a look at this hotel converted into a hospital to try to treat coronavirus patients who cant selfisolate at home including two mothers who very recently gave birth. Whit. Drastic measures to keep people safe. Julia macfarlane, thank you. Joining us now from los angeles is abc news medical contributor dr. Darien sutton whose specialty is emergency medicine. Dr. Sutton, thanks so much for joining us. We always appreciate it. I want to jump to this. You are an e. R. Doctor and seen the impact of this virus firsthand. With the troubling increases in cases and hospitalizations across the country, what trends are most concerning you and is there a difference between whats happening in our hospitals now and the first outbreaks we saw in the spring . Good morning. So these trends are really concerning because as was stated earlier, when this pandemic started to pick up its pace in march and april that was during the spring and most importantly, that was during the tail end of the thencurrent flu season. Now were marching into this flu season with more cases than we had at that time, at that time it was approximately 30,000 cases, and now were seeing approximately 60,000 cases. So its incredibly concerning and we have to remain very cautious to prevent battling simultaneous effects of the covid19 virus as well as the influenza virus. And speaking of the flu season, flu activity so far has been low, of course its early in the season, and maybe because in some part people are social distancing, staying home, wearing masks, but what are your recommendations on when to get the flu vaccine and could we see a shortage this year . So, hopeful that were not going to see a shortage. I know that there is likely an increase in demand due to Public Health education. In terms of the flu vaccine and when to get it, my recommendation is to get it as soon as possible. If you can get it, get it today, because its never been more important. And a new cdc study highlights how minority and ethnic groups are disproportionately impacted by this virus. Some numbers here that we wanted to put up on the screen from may to august, 51 of those who died from covid were white, 24 hispanic or latino and nearly 19 were black. What are the implications of those findings . So, unfortunately, this data and this evidence does not makes us aware of a problem that were all very well aware of h whicis that black and latinx communities are at increased rates of infection and at risk of death from covid19. And were also seeing these numbers in American Indian and alaskan native populations. A part of the reason why this continues to be is because the country is not doing the best job at handling this problem. Most specifically data. Were at shortage of data. As most states are not reporting test results as per by race and ethnicity, and this makes it exceptionally more and more difficult to identify vulnerable communities, where we can enact different changes in policy, care and supplies, so we need to focus on the data and make sure that we advocate for this data, because its never been more important until this time. One of the Disturbing Trends, one of the many Disturbing Trends throughout the pandemic. Dr. Sutton, thanks for your time. We truly appreciate it. Thank you. Eva, over to you. Now to the alleged plot to kidnap michigans governor, newly released video shows the suspects armed with weapons and allegedly conducting surveillance of governor Gretchen Whitmers home as the judge in the case rules there is enough evidence to present to a grand jury. Now, we have to warn you, some of these images may be disturbing. This morning, were getting our first look at these newly released images, this one allegedly showing one of the suspects surveilling michigan governor Gretchen Whitmers Vacation Home and part of a plot to kidnap her. And in this video Authorities Say one of the suspects shows off a cache of weapons, so far, 14 alleged members of the group have been arrested with the fbi and prosecutors arguing in court that the men should not be released pending trial because theyre too dangerous. Abc affiliate wxyz obtaining this Police Dash Cam video showing one suspect being pulled over last month during a routine traffic stop. Shortly afterwards, the fbi says caserta sent texts to the group saying he wished to kill the officers who pulled him over writing, they work night shift. I could easily tap em and dip and no one would know a thing. In this video posted on social media, caserta endorses violence against the government. Im an anarchist. Defensive force is legitimate. Reporter but Defense Attorneys claim it was all big talk. Were talking about guys who want to run around in the woods with guns and say bad things about the government. So what were talking about is a First Amendment right to assembly, a First Amendment right to speech. Reporter and prosecutors say the suspects got caught because theyre amateurs but that doesnt mean they arent dangerous. All five michigan men are being held without bond. Dan. Meanwhile, this morning, the white house is now reversing course granting californias request for Disaster Relief after what has been the states worst fire season on record. The white house says President Trumps denial of the original claim for victims of the devastating fires that have been burning since Early September including the creek fire, the largest fire in state history, saying the state had not provided, quote unquote, relevant data. After an outcry and a call from Governor Newsom the president approved the aid. Speaking of fires, several alerts are in effect across colorado this morning as well following record fires there. Rob is joining us from connecticut with a look at how the weather could impact the fires burning in the west. Rob, good morning to you. Good morning, whit.

Much like what we saw in california just a week or so ago and some of that smoke is going to be pushed off towards the east, so a lot of people east of the rockies have seen some of this haze and smoke and bad air quality as this recordsetting wildfire season continues.

In new england, the patriots forced to cancel their friday practice after another positive test. The pats were slated to play the Denver Broncos sunday, a game already rescheduled twice after star qb cam newton and others tested positive for the virus earlier this month. We learn things every day and we continue to try to take steps to put everybodys safety at the very top of the list. Zbler the jacksonville jaguars, the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans have also reported positive cases frustrating players and coaches. Teams now calling audibles scheduling makeup games during bye weeks. The jets and colts shut down facilities after positive tests, only to resume normal operations after a second round of tests came back negative. But these unwanted timeouts have some worried about the future of the season. Some experts say you have to look at the big picture. Overall, considering that we are in week six in the nfl, there havent been a significant amount of positive tests considering how many players, how many members of these organizations are getting tested every single day. Reporter still the league is taking more action, implementing new isolation protocols, sending players home if they dont feel well. The case for browns star wide receiver Odell Beckham jr. Even though he tested negative for covid and now discussion of a playoff bubble like the nba and mlb, but whether this game happens will be a good gauge for the rest of the season. Both teams have already used their bye weeks. Any further delay could put the remaining 12week schedule in serious jeopardy. I believe the nfl will go the full season and we will see the super bowl played in tampa as scheduled. Reporter today, the nfl is starting a testing protocol process for newly acquired players, so free agents and also players traded to new teams will have the clock start on a sixday covid entry process the day they arrive with their new team.

When you want the real deal. Like a good neighbor, state farm is there. As we all process the daily toxicity and tumult of the 2020 election, there is one huge question for parents, how do we discuss this with our kids . Recently i spoke with erin geiger smith, author of thank you for voting the maddening, enlightening, inspiring truth about voting in america. Erin, good morning. So we know that kids are sponges. I have a 5yearold and i hear him talking about various candidates all the time. We know theyre picking up messages from the environment surrounding them, especially during a really contentious Election Year, so what should we be telling them about everything thats going on . Well, i think that we dont want to let a contentious election keep us from talking about the importance of participating in the political process and elections really are our best opportunity to talk to kids about voting and why we do it, so even when things are a little dicey, i think its a great opportunity to talk about what the job is, what president s do, what mayors do, what governors do, and then use that as a way to talk about why were seeing them all the time and that theyre asking for our vote. So even when its contentious, theres a way to make it positive and to talk about the roles that we can play. When it comes to stressing the importance of voting any suggestions for doing that . Talking to them about the logistics that you have to register, that you have to find out where and how youre going to vote is actually really important, so taking your kids to vote with you or letting them fill out that ballot with you is really an Excellent Way to teach kids to vote and voting is a learned behavior, so, if you show someone how to do it, theyre likely to do it as soon as they can when they turn 18 which is really important. What is the best way to watch the debates with your kids . Is that even advisable . You know, i will be honest and say that im happy that my 6yearolds bedtime is before the debates start. I think you have to really make an ageappropriate call on that. I think maybe watching some other debates first, some famous moments from prior president ial debates might be a good idea to show how its worked in the past and what is different now and how we might hope it will be in the future. I think you just have to be really honest about that this election is really contentious, but we shouldnt let worries about that keep us from participating. Great information, erin geiger smith, really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thanks again to erin and well be right back with our play of the day. Day. Well be right back with our play of the day.
