Want to go to cnns Polo Sandoval following the latest on the coronavirus pandemic. First of all, polo, good morning to you. What are you hearing from where you are . Reporter well, christi, lets start in the state of new jersey across the where authorities are watching increase in covid cases. According to Health Authorities in new jersey they confirmed at least 2,000 cases in the four days. Those are the kinds of levels they havent seen in a month. Youre about to hear from the governor exactly why he thinks this is happening. But he is warning if this continues to be a trend, that he could reverse some reopenings. The coronavirus may kill another 20,000 americans by late august, according to a sobering fresh forecast from the centers for Disease Control and prevention. The cdc projections warn of an increase in reported deaths in puerto rico, washington state, kentucky, alabama, tennessee and new jersey. The governor there says house parties are contributing to covid spread among young people. We are not past this. Everyone who walks around refusing to wear a mask or who hosts an indoor house party or who overstuffs a boat is directly contributing to these increases. Reporter the White House CoronavirusTask Force Says covid cases are plateauing in the hardhit states of california, arizona and texas. Florida is also on that list, though it may face further complications with approaching hurricane say yas. Nearly 3,400 Covid Patients remain in florida hospitals and theres a possibility some floridians near the storms path may have to turn to shelters. The storm exacerbates the conditions. What it does it is forces people to remain in close quarters. This is where we need to get that message out. That people need to make sure that those protocols are not sacrificed. That they understand how important it is to wear face masks. Reporter this week, texas became the latest state to surpass new york in the number of covid cases. The hot spot isnt south texas where death counts are staggering. Ron rivetta, a funeral director says his facility is overwhelmed. Turning to additional storage for the influx of bodies and worried surviving family members may worsen the spread of the virus. Its the loved ones, the families that come in to give their condolences to the families, thats where the danger is. And you get all sorts of people coming in at one time and thats what really makes these families vulnerable to having this disease spread amongst the living, not actually the dead. Reporter with many schools nearing reopening a new cdc study offers insight into what can happen when young people are allowed to assemble. Researchers looked at a georgia summer camp, not named in the study, and found high infection rates among campers at that facility. The data shows the camp followed most but not all of the cdc safety guidelines. As this study shows, when you have large groups of people and children especially because you really cant expect children to strictly adhere to some of these safety precautions, there is a very high risk of transmission. Reporter students already back in the classroom in indianas Hancock County where the local Health Department confirmed on the first day of school that a middle schooler tested positive for the virus. Officials with the School District told parents the student was immediately isolated. And speaking to schools here in new york, officials just yesterday unveiled their new plan to bring students back into the classroom. The plan will call for combination of Remote Learning and inclassroom teaching. Its going to require that students and teachers wear a mask, remain socially distant and students stay in their groups and try to limit movement, victor and christi. At any point any parent feels that they do not want to send their child in, then they can do Remote Learning, no questions asked. Secondly, the infection rate will be key. If it meets or exceeds 3 in new york city, then schools will close. At this point, that Number Holding steady at 1 . Yes. Specifics that were seeing out of new york, not so many specifics in other districts across the country. Polo sandoval for us there. Thank you. Thanks, polo. According to new details from the cdc, hundreds who attended a summer camp in georgia have tested positive now for coronavirus. This study found at least 44 of campers and counselors became infected. The camp followed some, not all of the cdc recommendations, to prevent the spread of covid19, but after studying details of what happened at the camp, the cdc shows what to expect when schools reopen to learn something from this. I spoke with tom earlier this morning. His son attended the camp in georgia where the virus broke out. Here is what he told me. Well, my wife and i, we felt just we said darn it. You know, the camp had done everything they possibly could to ensure that our kids were safe. And they had the best laid plans. So when it happened, we just, you know, we call and we said should we pick him up . We went and picked him up. That was pretty much it. The camp and the director did an amazing job of keeping us all up to date on what was going on. Their preparation, the emails, the videos they sent out. Again, all the kids and the camp counselors were tested. And everyone was tested negative. So, when we sent thomas there, you know, we felt secure. When we drove up and dropped him off and all the counselors were in masks. And this was before this was the week of june 22nd. So this was the week before masks really became a huge deal. You know, we told him wash your hands. Make sure youre staying with ten people. You know, keep yourself his camp, his pod was separated from everybody. So we felt really secure in everything that the camp did and him being there. And camp is just such part of life for us that we were he needs he needed this experience based on, you know, School Closing not closing but him being virtual and so forth for so long. Yeah. There are a lot of parents that understand what youre saying right now about the need for kids to have their social interaction. And in all transparency, im sorry i forgot to say this right off the top, i meant to, but my daughter goes to this camp. My kids have gone to this camp. My daughter was supposed to go back and be a counselor this year. She went to the threeday training. She tested beforehand as they mandated. She was negative. She tested right after and before she was supposed to go to camp, she was negative again. But then they cancelled it. She never ended up going herself. I know you said thomas came home and he was sick but you thought it was strep . He actually was confirmed. Thats what he came home with the sore throat and we thought that was just from being at camp. The yelling and the screaming and the jubilation that they have when theyre there. After a couple days, he was like, my throat still hurts. So we did the tell le doctor. They said bring him home. They had a rapid test. We knew he was confirmed with strep throat and covid. At the end of the day, does what happened there at the camp, does that shape the way you view what should happen now as were talking about spending kids back to school . Well, thats a really good question. Im torn on that. Listen, there are no substitute for inperson learning. We all know that. I want my kids to go to school. My kids want to go to school. Their friends want to go to school. I mean, i think theyre really i think theyre dying a little bit from not having the interaction that they used to have. But we know that the best laid plans, as we saw with camp, something could happen. So, if i had the opportunity to send my kids back to school face to face, i would. But i think there would be more education on their part about what to do. Definitely wearing a mask right now. Washing hands. And trying to keep as much social distance as we can. And real quickly, knowing what you know now, would you still send him to camp . Absolutely. I mean, camp is such a part of every kids life that i would. But i think there would be more education again for him on what to do to try to avoid those particular situations that something may occur that he would catch the virus. Again, the one thing that is pointed out is that the camp had all the counselors Wearing Masks, but the kids were not Wearing Masks there and they think that was part of what perpetrated everything. So there are still some major questions around whether its safe to bring kids back into the classroom. Later this hour, were taking you to a part of rural georgia where students and parents have the option of going back to school yesterday. Why some are going back, others are not. Youre going to hear from parents. New this morning, a critical witness from President Trumps impeachment inquiry, Lieutenant ColonelAlexander Vinman is out with a stark assessment of where our country stands as his military Service Comes to an end abruptly officially today. The Washington Post just published a piece in it he reflects a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies that forced him into retirement. Cnns Kristen Holmes is following this from the white house. Kristen, he has a lot more to say in this oped. Reporter well, thats right, victor. And we had herd some of this from his lawyer. But now were seeing it in his own words. And he starts this oped by talking about his career in the military. He served for 21 years, 10 months, 6 months and 10 days. And now as of today he is officially a civilian. Just to remind our viewers who he was, hes a lieu ten innocent colonel, top ukraine expert and he did raise concerns about that infamous phone call that led to him being a witness in the impeachment inquiry and really being attacked by the president and many of his supporters as well as just conservative media overall. This is a purple heart recipient, alexander vindman. In this he says, as you said, there was a campaign of bullying and intimidation and retaliation by the president for his testimony that forever limited his military career. Of course, as we know, he should have received or was up to receive the ranking of colonel. But instead he was passed over for that. He did not receive it, so he is going to retire as Lieutenant Colonel. I want to point out his assessment here of where the country is. These are powerful words. At no point in my career or life have i felt our nations values under greater threat and in more peril than in this moment. Our National Government during the past few years has been more reminiscent of the authoritarian regime my family fled more than 40 years ago than the country i have devote midlife to serving. Now, i do want to just interrupt very quickly. He did flee ukraine when he was 3 years old at that point was a soviet republic. He continues on to say our citizens are being subjected to the same kinds of attacks, tyrants launch against their critics and political opponents. Those who choose loyalty to American Values and allegiance to the constitution over devotion to a men day shous president and his enablers are punished. So very, very strong words here. He says that even though it ended his career coming forward that he believes that he did the right thing and that doing the right thing still matters. And the oped really ends on a more positive and hopeful note. Not about President Trump who he continues to lambaste for his handling of the economy, of the pandemic, but just over the country as a whole. I want to read you one line here because i think its pretty powerful. It says to this day despite everything that has happened i continue to believe in the american dream. I believe that in america right matters. I want to help ensure that right matters for all americans. So some pretty powerful words there from somebody who in his own words was bullied out of his job for doing the right thing. Yeah. We remember during his opening statement, during that testimony, he tried to reassure his father that he would be okay because he was in the United States of america. He was doing determined the right thing in telling the truth. Kristen holmes at the white house. Thanks so much. Well, new this morning, President Trump says hell take executive action to ban tiktok from the u. S. You know how popular this video app is. Its owned by a Chinese Company and critics fear data from the u. S. Users could end up in the hands of chinese government. Cnns National Security analyst says the president cannot outright ban the app but there are other steps that he could take. What the president could do is a few things. He could move to limit tiktoks use on government phones, for example. Its a consumer app that wont have a major impact. Or the department of commerce could put the app on something known as the entitys list. That would limit commercial activity between u. S. Companies and the app. We did things we took those measures with other chi these entities in the past. And the president could move to issue an executive order under the Emergency Powers act to limit u. S. Apps, u. S. Companies like google and apple from engaging with foreign apps like tiktok. That could lead google and apple to, quote unquote, deplatform tiktok from its devices. That could certainly have an impact. And tiktok says that u. S. Data is stored in the u. S. With strict controls on employee access. So right now florida is under threat from dangerous storm surges. Take a look at the radar here. That hurricane heading towards the east coast.

Expected to hit the state of florida with heavy rain and some pretty strong winds. Uhhuh. We want to go to cnn meteorologist Allison Chinchar for the latest as we see this thing going up other the bahamas, does that change the trajectory at all . Not really because this is exactly where we figured it would go. The real concern Going Forward is how close does it truly get to the florida coastline . Were already starting to see some of those outer bans from hurricane isaias push into florida. It is expected to slow a little bit as it does approach florida. The main concern now is what is the storm doing . Hurricane hunters are flying out in the storm 89 Miles Per Hour wind is what the latest theyre reporting here. The key thing theyre going to look at is what is going on inside the storm . Dry air. Theres a lot of dry air surging into the western side of the storm. Typically that prevents these things from strengthening anymore. But on the flip side, its also entering incredibly warm ocean water. And that typically intensifies a storm. So right now because you have one thing working for it and one thing working against it we anticipate that this storm is just going to stay put basically in terms of strength. It will remain as a category 1 as it continues to slide up the florida coast. Here is a look at what it is expected to do not only today but also as we head into sunday when we anticipate a potential landfall would be. Maximum winds for jupiter and melbourne, youre talking winds that could exceed 74 Miles Per Hour. That is hurricane strength. But even places inland, like orlando could still see winds up around 60 Miles Per Hour at times. Storm surge
