Oppa goal dreop oppa Bianna Golodryga in for fred whitfield. We begin with new fears of a holiday coronavirus surge. As americans gather with family and friends during the holiday weekend. You are looking live at Jacksonville Beach in florida where many people are socially distanced. Thats a good thing. This as a new model predicts the u. S. Will surpass more than 410,000 coronavirus deaths by the end of the year. That means between now and january an additional 224,000 americans could die from covid19. On friday alone, the u. S. Added more than 50,000 new coronavirus cases. This as we are seeing flareups in at least 15 states. While the president and his Administration Try to paint a rosy picture that the country is, quote, rounding the corner on the virus, the nations top Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci, is encouraging americans to remain vigilant this weekend and to keep gatherings small. Dr. Fauci is also disputing the president s claim that a vaccine could be ready in just a couple of months. This as the u. S. Surgeon general floats the date, november 1st, for when states should be ready for a potential vaccine, quote, just in case. Our reporters are standing by with updates from around the country. Lets begin with Paul Vercammen in Manhattan Beach, california, where an intense heat wave this weekend could make social distancing quite a challenge. Paul, what are you seeing and how are you feeling out there . Reporter well, bianna, there is record heat projected for Southern California. That means a lot of people will flock to the open beaches. Now, l. A. County has made some progress on the numbers. We have well less than a thousand hospitalizations, the Positivity Rate for covid19 testing is down to 5. So what county Health Officials are saying is, yes, we understand because of this excessive heat warning youre going to go down to the beach, but please keep in mind that you need to socially distance. So here at Manhattan Beach it starts with a fine of 100 if youre not seen wearing your mask. And then throughout all of this, we have high fire danger. Imagine this if we get to 117 degrees in woodland hills, thats very possible. So the l. A. County Fire Department is going to respond immediately with those water dropping super scoopers and more the minute they see basically one even tiny fire. Whenever you have conditions that are in the three digits and theyre across so many different areas within our jurisdiction, within l. A. County fire, you know youre always going to be on edge a little bit. But this is something we prepare for, something that we train for, something that were ready for and well handle that. Reporter also they are not predicting any widespread power outages. Thats yet. But they have issued whats called a flex alert here in Southern California and basically theyre saying when we get to 3 00 in the afternoon, shut down those appliances, dont start running anything that you dont need to run. Help everybody out by being smart about how you use your electricity today. Back to you now, bianna. Everyone should heed those warnings, especially to help out those First Responders who have been working nonstop this summer. Paul vercammen, thank you. Well, in new jersey Movie Theaters and Indoor Dining are reopening as the state lifts more covid restrictions. Evan mcmorris santoro is in hoboken. Evan, how are people responding to these reopenings . I havent been to a movie since, i dont know, maybe january . Reporter thats right. Listen, its a very strange experience. The Movie Theater entrance is right behind me here in hoboken. Its a very strange experience. You can see people in there, theyre buying popcorn and going to the movies, but the rules in new jersey are very strict. 25 capacity. You have to wear a mask if youre in the theater unless youre munching on popcorn at that moment and you have to sit distant from each other unless youre there with people that you bought tickets with. Now, the deal here inside the theater, they make very clear. They say if you violate any of those rules, were going to throw you out. When you walk up to the door, it says if you have any symptoms, any reason why you shouldnt be in this Movie Theater, tell us and well give you a refund for your ticket. This is what Governor Phil Murphy says is a closely monitored situation in new jersey where things like Indoor Dining and Movie Theaters are getting a slight reopening with that 25 cap. Theyre going to monitor it and saying if anybody violates the rules or doesnt work theyll shut things back down. Ill tell you why that is to give you a little context here. At a press conference yesterday, friday, governor murphy noted that it had been six months since this state first saw its first covid case. Its been a very long journey here in new jersey and the new york area since that time. Now they have gotten to a place where they say its safe to go back into theaters. Theyre going to be very, very careful about how they do it, bianna. So many thousands of people have died in the northeast. No one wants to revisit that again. Perhaps this is a return to some form of normalcy, albeit a new normal. Evan, put your mask on after you eat that popcorn. Thank you. Well, lets get to natasha chen whos in atlanta, which is estimated to lose over half a billion dollars in revenue from cancelled events this year. Natasha, how will businesses survive this massive financial hit . Reporter well, bianna, some of them simply will not. We talked to one business yesterday, atlanta movie tours, that had to permanently close because of covid19. This is typically a weekend when they would have been solidly booked, showing people around town, the sights of atlanta where blockbuster films and tv shows were shot. A lot of their audience this weekend would have been the 87,000 estimated people who would have been here at Georgia World Congress center for drag on con, a Massive Convention for comics and gaming. Instead that is virtual. Then youre talking about two cancelled College Football games that would have brought more than 140,000 people to mercedesbenz stadium according to the Atlanta Convention and visitors bureau. I talked to the president and ceo of the peach bowl about not having those games being played this weekend. Its depressing because, you know, thats what we do. We love to host people in atlanta at big sporting events. We would have had six great universities coming to our town with all their fans and putting on three games in a week in mercedesbenz stadium. All three of these games would have been sold out. Reporter and that is a lot of lost revenue for atlanta businesses, including hotels, restaurants and bars. Its also lost tax revenue for the city of atlanta as well. As you were mentioning throughout 2020 there have been a large number of major events in atlanta cancelled. 29 major events, an estimated loss of more than 640 million, bianna. 11. 5 million jobs in this country have yet to be filled due to this pandemic. Natasha chen, youre just covering some of them. Thank you so much. Well, the tsa says it has screened nearly 87800 people for the holiday weekend. The agency says its currently seeing about a third of the traffic it saw last year. Cnns pete muntean has more. Reporter blinds here are pretty thin, air travel a fraction of what it was a year ago but the tsa thinks the number of people passing through security at americas airports will break a new record of the pandemic over the holiday weekend, the high point on thursday was ten times the low point seen back in april. The tsa thinks 900,000 people will have flown on friday, but that official number will not be out until tuesday. Those who are flying are facing an entirely new experience here at security. Youre being asked to empty your pockets and put everything into your bag, bypassing those typical trays in order to reduce touch points. Tsa employees are blocked by acrylic screens. The goal there is to protect you but also workers, about 1,800 of them have tested positive for coronavirus since the pandemic began. One other way of keeping up social distance is being tested here for the first time at Reagan National airport. A new machine will scan your i. D. And also your face to prove that its really you. You briefly have to drop your mask in order for that to happen. Airlines are mandating masks starting at checkin all the way to your flight. Delta says it has banned about 270 passengers for refusing to wear one. That averages out to three a day since deltas policy went into place. Pete muntean, cnn, Reagan National airport. Our thanks to pete.

My moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Yes until i realized something was missing. Me. You ok, sis . My symptoms kept me from being there for my sisters. Flight boarding for flight 2007 to chicago. So i talked to my doctor and learned. Humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor. If youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections. Or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your doctor about humira. With humira, remission is possible. If you cant afford your medicine, abbvie may be able to help. Take the good, with the bad live the life you want to have send it off, with a bang whistling thousands of demonstrators take to the streets at rochester, new york, demanding justice for daniel prude who died in custody back in march. Police and protesters clashing overnight. Officers firing pepper balls at a crowd after demonstrators lit fires and threw rocks of the at least three officers were injured in the melee. Police arrested 11 people in all with charges ranging from Unlawful Assembly to rioting and disorderly conduct. Demonstrators have been protesting for three straight nights following the release of body cam video showing Rochester Police pinning down daniel prude, a black man who was having a Mental Health episode and naked when he was detained back in march. Prude stopped breathing and later died. Medical examiners have ruled his death a homicide. Joining me now to discuss is eric adams, the Brooklyn Borough president and former nypd captain. Thank you for joining us, im glad you are giving us your views. The rochester mayor has blamed daniel prudes death on the actions of the officers involved saying prude would have been treated differently if he were white. Given what you have seen and heard thus far, would you agree with the mayors assessment . I think the mayor clearly is a leader in that community, and i think her for her candid response. The problem is, is we need to redefine the ecosystem of Public Safety and engage in a real conversation of how police will be deployed at various encounters with those emotionally disturbed persons, particularly when theyre violent, and i dont think we are uniform based on communities or areas and thats what we need to start looking at. Not to mention that this was the first few weeks of the pandemic here. From reading from the accounts of Police Officers, it seemed that they were quite nervous about catching the pandemic, which daniel prude was reported to have said that he had covid. But we know that he died in Police Custody after his brother had called 911 to report that he was having a Mental Health episode. You talk about how officers need to be better equipped to manage these situations, and we hear that a lot. What are the tangible things that can be done to better help educate and train Police Officers for these types of situations . Well, first, we are addicted to 911, the calls for Police Services in our country. We really need to wean ourselves off that every encounter no matter how minor or what the circumstances that we Must Immediately call the police. It is the coordination of all of our agencies that are involved. When you deploy a Police Officer to a person who is emotionally sdur disturbed, automatically we should be deploying Mental Health professionals who can get there, assess the situation, use different molds of coordinating with all of our agencies. We dont do that. We send officers that are equipped to fight crime into areas where you really need deescalation tools and deescalation measures. Again, ive said this often. Not every officer should be assigned to every type of police interaction. You dont send a pediatrician into brain surgery just because someone is qualified to be a Health Care Professional does not mean theyre suited for every job. We do that in policing, and i think thats a big mistake. We need to rethink how we use the methods of policing in our country. So in reality how does that work . Because mostly when people call 911, there is an emergency and from my understanding, the officers that are most nearby are the ones who are dispatched and respond first. How would things change under some of the proposals youre making . Well, every area, geograph geographical area or whichever methods you use in a particular municipality, you have those who are Mental Health professionals in the hospital, in our psychiatric units in our hospitals, have them also connected to the response. Every call of service we receive in a Police Department is not a call for Mental Health illnesses or circumstances. If you get that 911 call that a person is experiencing a danger to himself or others, we should automatically have someone from that local hospital in the psychiatric ward thats normally open 24 hours connected to that response. This is more easy to do than people really believe. Its the lack of coordination. We continuously believe that police is the only response that we should see in circumstances like this. Thats such an important point. You talk about, and i was struck by your story and how you were a victim of Police Violence when you were younger. You then went on to serve as a new york city Police Officer for two decades. How did your history with the police shape your experience then as a Police Officer . Policing is a noble profession. The prerequisite to prosperity is Public Safety. I believe at the time i felt extremely violated and bitter. Civil rights activists asked me to come into the Police Department. I became an activist and was engaged about how do we use this powerful entity to bridge gaps between those who want to harm our communities and those who want to live peacefully. Its unfortunate that too many Police Departments come from outside the communities that they serve and protect. Remember this, no one calls a Police Officer to invite him to a birthday party, they call them there when the party is being disruptive. So oftentimes Police Officers only have those negative encounters in communities and they define the entire communities based on those negative encounters. We need to change that narrative and dynamic. And im really concerned about america at this time. We have a hig
