leading republicans say they have the votes they need to get a new justice on the supreme court before election day. any moment now the u.s. will pass that horrifying mark, 200,000 dead americans from the coronavirus. in the last week more than half of u.s. states reported an increase of infections greater than the week before. johns hopkins university reports more than 6.8 million cases across the country. the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is under fire for removing guidance from its website seemingly posted by mistake. officials say the move was not the result of political pressure but the back and forth is only adding to the confusion around how the virus can spread. the top u.s. infectious disease expert, dr. anthony fauci, says you can't look at a death toll that's close to 200,000 and say, that's terrific. still, president trump claims the u.s. is rounding the corner on the pandemic, but as athena jones shows us, that is not the case. >> we may be in for a very apocalyptic fall. >> reporter: as the u.s. approaches another grim milestone, 200,000 lives lost to coronavirus. signs the much feared fall surge in cases is already here. >> you look what's happening around the country right now, there's an unmistakable spike in new infections. >> reporter: new covid cases topping 40,000 a day with new daily infections rising in 28 states. up more than 50% in eight states. wisconsin, idaho, south dakota all reporting covid test positivity rates above 16%. >> it's happening because we're forcing schools to reopen in areas of high transmission, forcing colleges to reopen and we don't have the leadership nationally telling people to wear masks and to social distance and do all the things we need to do. >> the startling trend coming as the cdc issues and then removes through its website new guidance showing just how contagious coronavirus is. the agency noting it can spread through the air in tiny droplets or aerosols, not just when someone coughs, sneezes or talks but simply when they breathe. the agency later saying the new guidance was a draft posted in error. meanwhile, on the vaccine trust, they are arguing that -- >> vaccine as early as possible even in a few million doses in terms of outcomes, morbidity and deaths. >> reporter: still, bill gates saying it will be a long road ahead. >> if the vaccine approvals come by early next year, as i expect, then by next summer the u.s. will start to be going back to normal and by the end of the year our activities can be fairly normal if we're also helping these other countries. the end of the epidemic best case is probably 2022. >> reporter: all this as the influential model from the university of washington now lowering its forecast for total u.s. covid deaths by january 21st to just under 383,000, down from under 400,000 last week citing steeper than expected declines in deaths in certain states. the model still predicts 3,000 deaths a day by the end of december and says a universal mask mandate could keep total deaths to 263,000 by new year's day. >> reporter: i should note this is a range just like it estimates how many lives could be saved by the universal mask mandate. it says if current mandates ease the number of projected deaths soars to 300,000 by january 1st. athena jones, cnn, new york. joining me now is dr. celine gounder. thank you for joining us and all that you do. >> my pleasure. >> this country has lost nearly 200,000 americans to covid-19 and yet we can't apparently rely on the cdc for reliable guidance on how contagious and deadly this virus is after the cdc abruptly reversed new guidelines on monday on airborne transmission claiming it was posted in error. what is going on here? >> rosemary, this is new old news. we've been saying as scientists since february, march, that this is likely at least in part transmitted through aerosols, that it's airborne. the real debate that we're still having is to what degree is it droplet born versus airborne. big picture, the measures we need to be controlling the spread of the virus remain the same. it remains that the facemasks, it remains social distancing although at a minimum six feet, not only six feet. the other new old news here is that the cdc continues to have mixed messaging on the science, and i'm not sure, actually, whether this was through political interference or through an honest mistake, but either way that has me profoundly concerned that this kind of mixed messaging will be coming out of the cdc in the middle of a pandemic. >> yeah. it breaks down that trust which was already in trouble, wasn't it? so meantime the president has given himself an a plus for his handling of the virus even as the death toll reaches 200,000. what's driving the spike in cases and is it too late to turn this around, do you think, as we head into the flu season? >> rosemary, there are a couple of different factors driving this. after previous holiday weekends, memorial day, fourth of july, labor day, we have seen incre e increases in cases. people letting their guard down, socializing with family and friends in ways that were not safe, unfortunately. in addition to that, over the last several weeks students have been returning to college and university campuses and those have also become super spreader settings where transmission has propagated among students and then spread also to communities outside of those college and university campuses. i am concerned about the upcoming flu season and whether people will really start to take mask wearing and social distancing seriously. >> and the key model has lowered its forecast for covid deaths by january 1st to just under 380,000, which of course is still no reason to celebrate. we saw trump supporters at a rally monday booing another republican who dared to suggest that they should wear masks. how do you convince americans that masks are all we have right now and that the vaccine that president trump promises late next month may not come in time? >> i think this is such a tragedy that we've lost 200,000 lives, that we may be losing almost 200,000 more between now and the end of the calendar year. this was a preventible tragedy. this was preventible through such simple things like wearing masks. the fact that we have not shown the resolve in this country to do that, to protect ourselves, our families, our fellow citizens, i find deeply unpatriotic, quite frankly. i hope the cdc will provide a face saving way for those who are reluctant to wear their masks. the cdc acknowledges the virus can be spread airborne. >> the irony, it is the one thing that allows us to get back to some sense of normalcy. dr. celine gounder, many thanks. across europe, the continent is battling an accelerated number of covid-19 cases. countries in shades of red and orange are seeing a rising number of cases compared to the previous week. the british government is urging people to stay put as the country tries to combat a surge of new covid-19 cases. mike gove says if it's possible poor people to work. the country's chief scientific advisor says cases are doubling every week. the virus is also spreading rapidly across the channel in france prompting italy to mandate virus testing, but any visitors arriving from france. cnn is covering the pandemic surge in france and the u.k. melissa bell is in paris and scott mcclain is in london for us. good to see you both. so, scott, let's start with you and talk about these new restrictions that are very soon to be announced. what is planned? and will this be enough to avoid a national lockdown? >> reporter: sure. rosemary, new restrictions in this country seem to be coming in fast and furious. last month they announced limits on social gatherings across england. now we have this announcement that's coming that will essentially mandate the bars close early, 10:00, and now this morning you also have this british cabinetmaker saying it was encouraging employers to send their workers back into the offices, into the covid secure offices. the government wanted to get schools back open, which they are now. at the very least schools seem to be the golden goose for the government. the governor made it abundantly clear he only wants to close them for health reasons. the number of few cases is doubling every few days. if that trajectory without action. that's on par with what the u.s. is seeing and this country has 1/5 of the population, rosemary. >> incredible. melissa, let's go to you now. what's the latest on france's efforts to control the new spike in cases. >> reporter: the efforts here in france are being dealt with on a regional level with representatives in areas that are hardest hit. so far, no sign that they're managing to bring these figures under control. the number of people being infected continues to rise. we have a positivity rate of 5.7 on sunday, that rose to 5.9. more than 1/,000 clusters are out there. calling for greater protection. having that responsibility for trying to bring their covid-19 numbers back under control. they have a number of people heading into them every day. if you come from any of those regions, you'll be tested. you remember the first in the european area to have better figures than some of their neighbors. >> melissa and scott, many thanks to you both. appreciate it. still to come, republicans are vowing to push ahead with nominating a new supreme court justice, a decision that could have huge implications for two months to go

the end of the week. cnn has confirmed that one of the front-runners, amy coney barrett, was at the white house monday and met with president trump. meanwhile, justice ginsberg will become the first woman ever to lie in state at the u.s. capitol. that will take place on friday. on wednesday and thursday she will lie in repose at the supreme court so the public can pay their respects. one of president trump's most ardent supporters is vowing to confirm any supreme court nominee before election day. lindsey graham, who chairs the senate judiciary committee, says senate republicans have the numbers to proceed. >> we've got the votes to confirm justice ginsberg's replacement before the election. we're going to move forward in the committee. we're going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the united states senate so we can vote before the election. >> and a quick confirmation vote could so lidify the conservative's grasp on the court as it rules on issues like abortion rights and health care. cnn's kaitlyn collins has more. >> reporter: president trump says he'll announce his pick to replace justice ruth bader ginsberg on the supreme court by the end of the week. >> i think with respect we should wait until the services are over for justice ginsberg. so we're looking at probably friday or maybe saturday. >> reporter: trump telling fox news that he's waiting out of respect for rgb before baselessly claiming that her dying wish to be replaced by the next president, which she dictated to her granddaughter, was concocted by democrats. >> i don't know that she said that or was that written out by adam schiff, schumer and pelosi. >> reporter: the president spent the weekend on the phone with staff, lawmakers and advisers as he narrowed down his list of finalists to five women. >> i'm looking at four or five. >> amy coney barrett, allison cones rushing and barbara laguoa. >> she's excellent. she's hispanic. i don't know her. florida. we love florida. >> trump making clear his desire to cement a 6-3 conservative majority on the court for generations to come. >> these are the smartest people. these are the smartest young people. you like to go young because they're there for a long time. >> reporter: while it's not clear who he will pick, it is clear trump wants to have his nominee confirmed before the november election. >> i think the final vote should be taken, frankly, before the final election. we have plenty of time for that. >> waiting until friday will give him 39 days to get them confirmed. on average senate confirmation of judges take 70 days. >> the president providing no proof that fraudulent ballots are being sent out, but there is no audio revealing comments he made to bob woodward about reshaping the courts and working with mitch mcconnell to appoint conservative judges. >> he will absolutely ask me, please, let's get the judge approv approved. >> reporter: cnn has learned the president met with amy coney barrett on monday. he will go through several on his short list. the announcement will likely come on saturday now. we'll have to wait to see who it is the president selects. kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. so let's talk now with cnn political analyst joe lockheart. he was press secretary for former president bill clinton from 1998 to 2000. thank you so much for speaking with us. >> glad to be here. >> so the passing of supreme court justice ruth bader ginsberg has triggered an almighty political fight to replace her with president trump leading the charge, planning to nominate a woman by saturday and to get a confirmation senate vote before the election. only two republican senators pushing back right now. what viable options are available to democrats to fight this? >> well, they can try to slow down the works in the senate to get it to election day, but that's not likely t it's likely that another senator or two are going to defect. so i think this is going to go through, i would expect, before election day. and then democrats, because they don't have a chance to stop it, they do have a chance to retaliate. they could add seats if joe biden wins and they take over the senate to the supreme court. they would have to get rid of the filibuster, which they've talked about. they didn't talk about adding two states, d.c. and puerto rico. the real question is whether they have the stomach to do it. we're not going to know that until after election day. >> of course, meantime, this issue is over shadowing the pain caused by the coronavirus and 200,000 americans losing their lives to the virus so far. president trump is giving himself an a plus for his handling of the virus. how careful do democrats need to be about keeping the pandemic the top priority front and center while balancing the need to halt or somehow slow down this population? >> well, you're exactly right. i think the short-term benefit for president trump is it has shifted attention away, at least for the first couple of days, from the coronavirus, but if you look at the numbers, they're starting to creep back up. i still firmly believe this election is going to be a referendum on the president's handling of this. that's why i think you're going to see the democrats arguing about health care in the context of the supreme court because those two issues go together. it's bad enough to lose health insurance and pre-existing conditions, but we've got, what, maybe a million people that have a pre-existing condition, the after effects of covid that we're still learning about and the republicans are trying to take that away. that's a really powerful argument for democrats. >> right. when you look at the polls do you wonder how it's possible that president donald trump is still in this race when 200,000 lives have been lost in this pandemic. his stoking of racism and division in this country? how do you explain the fact that this race could go either way considering all those negatives? >> yeah, well, he's got what he calls his base, his maga, make america great again people who honestly will do anything, believe anything he says. the great debate in this country by politicians and public health experts is whether you wear the mask or not. he has signaled to his group of supporters that they don't need to wear a mask. it's not real. so he starts the political battle with 40, 42% of the public. he only needs another 4 or 5% because of the way the electoral college is structured. i think if the numbers are piling up the way that they are that the public will reject president trump, but i think we're in for a long night on election night. >> i think you're right. joe lockhart, thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it. >> thank you. the u.s. justice department is withholding federal funding to three american cities in response to prolonged civil unrest. the department has led with seattle, new york, and portland, oregon, and key jurisdictions. democratic leaders in those cities have largely opposed federal intervention despite rising crime rates to avoid inflaming tensions. the new york's attorney general called it a pathetic attempt to scare americans into voting for president trump. >> do not issue orders to the city and/or any state. it's incompatible with the principles due sovereignty. this is nothing more than a distra distraction. it says the result of the fag our of this particular station, to hear the divide and reach. after the break, the white house says the economy is recovering quickly, but that's not what some experts see. how those fears could be dragging down stocks. we'll take a look. stay with us. to encourage kids to keep a little distance. here to reassure parents who are a little worried.

awesome. hey look, i found the tent! get xfinity home with no term contract required. click or call today. now for a recap of one of our top stories. the u.s. is set to surpass 200,000 coronavirus deaths at any moment. deaths and new infections have been rising consistently since march. johns hopkins university tallies more than 6.8 million cases in the u.s. alone. on average, the u.s. has recorded more than 40,000 new cases each day over the last week. president donald trump keeps praising his handling of the pandemic. >> we're rounding the corner. with or without a vaccine. they hate it when i say that, but that's the way it is. we're rounding the corner on the pandemic and we've done a phenomenal job. not just a good job, a phenomenal job. on the job itself, we take an a plus. >> the cdc is facing questions over mixed messaging and potential political pressure. its website noted the virus particles could remain suspended in the air and infect people further than six feet away, but that language has since been removed. the world health organization says its position remains the same on the spread of covid-19. >> we still based on the evidence believe that there is a wide range of transmission modes. we believe the disease is primarily or predominantly spread through droplet spread. we have always said the smaller droplet spreads this disease and that is very context driven. people crowded into small space without adequate ventilation when they're there for a long duration of time, in that case aerosol transmission can occur. >> new projections from the university of washington say about 180,000 more people in the u.s. could die from the coronavirus by january. cnn's dr. sanjay gupta says even though that number has dropped from original projections, the u.s. is nowhere close to containing the virus. >> reporter: there are now projections that another roughly 200,000 people could die within the next 3 1/2 months. we talk about this in the past tense. it's not in the past tense. we're still very much in the middle of it. i think there's no question we're seeing an uptick overall in the number of people becoming infected. you know, we never brought this overall pandemic trajectory in the united states down to a contained level. contained would be 1 in a million or 1 in 100,000 per day. that would be 3500 people in this country a day. we're way over that, 35,000 instead. >> dr. anthony fauci says politics is getting in the way of consistent information about the coronavirus. the virus expert appeared on "the daily show" with trevor noah to discuss how information is shared in the u.s. and reiterated a message that public health should not be a political matter. >> one of the things that i think gets in a way is that we are in such a divisive state in society that it tends to get politicized. it's almost one side or the other. wearing a mask or not is a political statement and that's really very unfortunate. totally unfortunate because this is purely a public health issue. it should not be one against the other. >> and fears of a second wave of the coronavirus and diminishing hopes for another u.s. stimulus bill are weighing on stocks. the dow closed nearly 2% lower on monday. its worst day in about two weeks. both the dow and the s&p 500 are close to falling into a correction which is a 10% drop from their peaks. and the dow futures are pointing to a lower open in the hours ahead as well. john defterios is in abu dhabi. he joins us now live. good to see you, john. not great news. talk to us about what's spooking investors and what could calm their nerves, somewhat. >> reporter: it's hard to find some fault in this market because it is so unpredictable right now, rosemary. the trigger point is the united states for that uncertainty that we're seeing. even the words of dr. fauci saying it's far too political when it comes to covid-19 and the response. in fact, we have gridlock when it comes to the next stimulus package. the deadline october 30th. house democrats and senate republicans still. the supreme court power play by donald trump, does it create more gridlock going forward for other legislation and a showdown around the election. again, that's a crowd of uncertainty that hovers over this, down to 1 to 1.3%. we see cases rising. the governor is taking precautionary measures. this will impact dow and s&p futures on wall street as well. mostly green arrows. the green particularly for the german market. the dax index up .8 of 1%. after the caseload spike we've seen in the u.k. and spain, those markets are not rallying but clearly much better than we were 24 hours ago. there's even a healthy debate right now at the top of the guessing. we need more stimulus. st. louis is saying we've done enough. this is a v-shaped recovery. the same narrative is coming out of the white house. rosemary, does not feel like a v-shaped recovery. >> very sobering analysis. thanks. public health officials in canada say part of the country are facing a second wave of covid-19 and they are urging people to stay home as much as possible. they say there are too many large gatherings and too many close social contacts to contain the spread. >> reporter: for so many months here in canada, the talk was the country had crushed the curve. for so many months cases were very low. not anymore. we are getting here in canada to an average daily caseload of 1,000 cases per day. doesn't sound like a lot but it's the trend line bothering authorities in the sense that it is going straight up. the province of quebec, the capitol ottawa already declaring the second wave has started. the cases are in people under the age of 40. hospitalizations remain low. authorities are saying, look, keep to your bubble, stay home, mask up. the reason is that trend line again. when you think about the fact that this has been a doubling of cases in really little more than a month, that is what is so troubling to public health officials. here the death rate was early on quite high. no one wants to go back to that scenario especially as winter is approaching. paula newton, cnn, ottawa. >> still ahead, sounding a warning. >> nevada. nevada is a swing state. nevada is a purple state. >> we will take you to a key state in november's election and tell you why democrats there worry they

nominee joe biden was out on the campaign trail monday. he visited wisconsin, a state they lost in the 2016 race. he met with supporters at an aluminum factory hoping to win back white working class voters in the midwest contrasting his family's working class roots to donald trump's affluent new york background. he told supporters, if elected he would fight for all-americans. take a listen. >> i don't see the presidency that way. i don't pledge allegiance to red states of america or blue states of america. i pledge allegiance to the united states of america. one nation, indivisible, under god, for real. i'm running as a proud democrat. i'm not going to govern as a democrat, i'm going to govern as a president. i get criticized by saying that but that's not what i'm going to do. i'm going to fight as hard for those who supported me as those who did not support me. this is not a partisan moment, guys. this has to be an american moment. in the next few weeks we have a chance to put anger, division, the darkness that's overtaken this country behind us. >> well, it's good old-fashioned politics at its best. you knock on someone's door and try to persuade them of your cause. given the pandemic, democrats in places like nevada say they are short of volunteers and canvassing. coronavirus isn't slowing down the trump campaign's ground game. >> reporter: from a bustling trump campaign field office in las vegas, phone banking is in full effect to the door-to-door campaigning in the suburbs. >> how are you doing? i'm cammy. volunteer for the trump party. >> reporter: for the trump party, it's the in person race. >> who would you likely support? >> email is okay. phone calls better but nothing beats face to face. >> reporter: that's political reality says trump campaign in nevada, with masks, social distancing at the door. they have been doing this since june. >> hillary clinton will carry the state of nevada. >> reporter: the president lost nevada in 2016 by 2.5 points. in 2020 he's campaigned here in person, holding indoor rallies. the state party says it has more staffers in state now than 2016. >> when you're out there knocking you don't see the other side like you would in years past. you couldn't get away from them then. >> reporter: that's true says annette magnus. >> the republicans don't have rules. that's the biggest thing. >> this general election -- >> reporter: magnus has moved her campaigning completely online because of covid. the biden campaign is virtually all online. what's alarming for her is grassroots funding has slowed during the pandemic. >> do not forget about places like nevada. nevada is a swing state, a purple state. >> reporter: a few outside groups are starting to move now, in person. >> ski get you to vote? >> reporter: faith alignment. you guys didn't operate for a good portion of the year. >> for a good six months. >> reporter: nothing? >> no paper registration. >> reporter: but the old democratic group canvassing a person this year is the culinary union, nevada's largest get out the vote machine. >> here's a flyer. >> reporter: 200 volunteers have been knocking on doors since august. they do so cautiously. >> we hand out masks. >> reporter: the union says more than 400 union members and hospital workers have been hospitalized and 49 of them have died. >> a little more scary this year. >> reporter: magnus warns given the impact on the ground game and funding, she worries about nevada in november. >> i fear if we are not careful and we don't do everything we have. that's why i have been sounding the alarm. >> how close it that. donald trump is at 42%. given the margin of error, there is no clear leader in nevada. kyung lah, cnn. new zealand's new leader is facing questions. the prime minister phase with the coronavirus. she's recently given her critics something to focus on in the form of a selfie. cnn's kristie lu stout explains. >> reporter: gentleman sin der arder, haled worldwide for her tough handling of the coronavirus, is under fire for selfies in new zealand. for pictures where without social distancing is a question that she sees her. >> a photo that shows flexibility has given way to her. >> rival members say hospitality businesses can't make money at level 2. meanwhile, the person responsible for the rules is self-serving and not social distancing. the prime minister admits she made a mistake. >> in that particular photo i did make a mistake. >> reporter: back in march when the virus burned through, she presented her country with a choice. >> i hope you are all in me. new zealand sealed borders. wait until lockdown days later. tough measures brat them down to 2,0 2,000. the virus returned in august and it spread. aukland, the largest city was put under lockdown again. the national election set for september was postponed and there was outrage. the lockdowns have hammered the nation's economy. tourism dependent new zealand has fallen into the deepest slump with a second quarter drodro drop. >> how do you measure success? saving people's lives, saving people's businesses, coming out the other side faster, quicker, more activity on the other side. that is what we see in new zealand. >> reporter: with the latest outbreak under control, they are lifting the bank. where does it work? >> reporter: judith collins is the leader of national. jacindra is still leaps and bounds ahead. >> reporter: new zealand's 40-year-old prime minister has led her country through three once in a generation crises. her leadership as the nation goes to the polls and the pandemic. >> cnn's christi lu stout joins us from hong kong. the election is september for the 13th. despite the dramas around in the selfie, how is it for the prime minister? >> reporter: she is in full position. there is overwhelming support for her and her pandemic response. >> we've been monitoring. the debate, it was largely for a domestic awudience. she has been hailed worldwide for her response. she's been hailed inside new zealand. the country is lifting covid-19 restrictions. most of the nation is now back down to a level 1 alert as of midnight last night. aukland is the epicenter of a second wave and a fresh outbreak. that city is going to move down to a level two. the nation reported zero cases of the coronavirus on monday and that prompted president ar dern to say that the virus is, quote, under control. still to come, from the basketball court to the racetrack. we will tell you about michael jordan's latest business venture and why he
