Reporter President Trump lashed out at his predecessor after former president obama ripped the administrations handling of the Coronavirus Crisis in a pair of virtual graduation speeches this weekend. This pandemic has fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they are doing. A lot of them arent even pretending to be in charge. Reporter both leaders have recently stepped up their attacks. In a call last week with former staffers, mr. Obama called the administrations Covid Response anemic and spotty, while mr. Trump blamed the Obama Administration for leaving an insufficient playbook, depleting federal stockpiles and even going so far as to accuse his predecessor of undefined and unspecified crimes. Obamagate its been going on for a long time. Reporter but the fingerpointing is also coming from within. White house advisor Peter Navarro faulted the centers for Disease Control for botched testing at the outset of the pandemic. The c. D. C. Which really had the most trusted brand around the world, in this space, really let the country down with the testing.

But in texas, it was a surge, the state reporting more than 1,800 new cases saturday, the biggest single day jump since the pandemic began. More than 700 cases were reported at a meatpacking facility in amarillo. Behavior is the wildcard, like this scuffle in san antonio. [ yelling ] store employees confronted a customer who refused to wear a mask. Governors are carefully watching infection rates, the crowds and more testing. New yorks andrew cuomo showed how its done at a press conference today. Now testing is really going to be very helpful in monitoring the virus. Reporter as people around the country want to see more of the economy open up, California Governor Gavin Newsom says even with strict rules hes optimistic about how his states performing. About 75 of our economy is already open. Weve seen dozens of counties that moved quickly where restaurants are opening, office, manufacturing, logistics, warehouses, operations and the like. But its with modifications. Reporter they were seen in places like roseville, california, where restaurants reopened. They wiped off all of the tables.

Reporter Health Workers in wuhan have begun testing its 11 million inhabitants, after a limited new outbreak last week. The goal is to find and isolate asymptomatic carriers before they can start a new wave. This massive Testing Program should also give the authorities in wuhan some idea of what proportion of their inhabitants have been exposed to the virus and therefore have some immunity, a figure that is a complete mystery in most parts of the world. What is not a mystery is the number of dead. It is still going up in brazil where medical staff, and gravediggers, know this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. That gfor rutoo, in spite o lockdown, the infection is growing faster than anywhere else, except the united states. By contrast, much of europe is opening up. Spains death rate was under 100 for the first time today. And europeans seem willing to take the calculated risk that life can return to normal, or something very much like it. Even the Biggest Church in the world, st. Peters in the vatican, had an extra deep clean before it reopened to the faithful tomorrow. Elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london.

Reporter in the next phase of the trial, dr. Mehta and colleagues are combining remdesivir, to stop the virus from multiplying, with a powerful antiinflammatory drug, baricitinib, a socalled immune modulator that aims to prevent organ damage by calming down an inflamed immune system. The remdesivir stops the virus from replicating inside the cell, and the immune modulator puts out the fire. What the remdesivir does is stop the spark, and the immune modulator will hopefully be putting dirt on the fire to put it out. Reporter a onetwo punch. A onetwo punch. Reporter dr. Mehtas team is looking at whether this powerful combination could make recovery even faster, and possibly reduce the mortality rate in a way remdesivir alone has not yet been shown to do. A drug can block this virus. Reporter when dr.
