A mother and her daughter. Is the government spends mobile banking which is used for more than 80 percent of transactions. Below we begin in the United States where Southern States continue to report surges in corona virus cases florida reported a record daily high of more than 9500 new infections on saturday while arizona recorded over 3500 cases and right across the country record figures of cases have been confirmed every day for almost a week several states are taking steps to roll back their reopening plans threatening a much hope for economic recovery the us has more than 2400000 cases and at least 125000 people have died those figures are the highest in the world lets bring in joining us from maryland just outside washington d. C. So this must be very concerning for authorities over in states like florida and arizona. Very concerning but not at all surprising this is exactly what Health Experts warned could very much happen when these states reopened they basically just flung open the doors to bars restaurants the beaches were packed and you saw at that time Health Experts said this would be fine for a couple of days but in 2 weeks youre going to see the extent of this because it takes the virus so long to show up now were seeing and especially with younger people and that is new before this was mostly a concern for the elderly our people with preexisting conditions but now a 3rd of those hospitalized in some of these states are 18 to 49 years old so now youre seeing some of these states florida texas trying to roll back restrictions a little bit theyre saying things like restaurants can open at half capacity bars have to shut down some or outside recreation has to shut down but at the same time theres a pretty broad question about how effective this is going to be because in these states the people are still not mandated from Wearing Masks and if you look theres been grassed after graph in states for mass are mandatory cases are going down in states where there are no mass requirements they are going up but somehow in this country wearing a mask has become a political statement in part because u. S. President donald trump has gone to Great Lengths to not wear a mask and not say masks should be worn so many of his supporters believe that theyre showing defiance by not wearing a mask and some of these states the counties in the cities are actually forbidden by the state for making their residents wear masks but this is a growing concern its in florida its in texas just in houston all of the cell phones got pinged with an alert that said they are now at level one outbreak is severe and uncontrolled and now all the focus is on the Hospital Systems and whether or not theyre going to be overrun yeah and despite those the messages coming from the white house still seems to be that things are going well and thats what we heard from the u. S. Vice president himself just about 24 hours ago striking somewhat of an ab. Tone how is that going down. Health experts say its absolutely a lie that he said all 50 states are reopening safely and theyre saying this simply is not the case weve seen the president come out and say oh there arent that many more cases its because were testing more and were testing the best of any country in the world that in fact is not true the u. S. Is not more than any other country and talks about the best test but that doesnt account for these results and people are saying in the Health Community that they have to take a dramatic u. Turn they have to start taking this seriously shutting things down again in these states where there are hot spots increased testing increased contact area see this white house though shows no signs of wanting to do any of those things and it is impacting the president s polling if you think about this its not only the swing states that you normally think of michigan wisconsin where by president former Vice President joe bidens leading trump in some polls is now falling behind in the crucial states of florida and texas texas is a solidly republican state but if you also look at the demographics for example florida that is where it has a fairly sizable Elderly Population and that is where President Trump is losing on this coronavirus older people who again are most likely to be impacted this virus say hes handily its just been abysmal and he is losing by double digits their support and that could be critical to him in november still even though the polls are taking it for him even though the cases are climbing the president this white house shows no indication that they plan to make any changes in fact right now the president is at his golf course in virginia all right thank you for that from maryland.
