Unemployment rolls by coronavirus. A new study about the cost of waiting to tell americans to stay at home is now stirring a debate over whether the president , most governors and mayors should have acted sooner. Where we are right now is another debate. The president plans things in military terms and says, quote, we have prevailed. The urgent thing is to reopen quickly to save american businesses and american jobs but the nations top expert on Infectious Disease voices the caution. The Scientific Evidence clearly indicates that physical separation has worked, but not completely. If you look at the curves in our country, it isnt like everything is dramatically going down. Now is not the time to tempt fate and pull back completely. With the president about to head to michigan with us to share her reporting are chief Political Correspondent dana bash and also in michigan, omar jimenez. Omar, the president is making a trip about the pandemic, but also the election. Whats the situation on the ground . Reporter thats right, john, a lot of actors playing intole it here. Hell make his way here to michigan, specifically to the ford plant behind me. Now, the big question on this trip is whether he will wear a mask when he steps inside this plant. Significant for health reasons, one, but also because it thwarts policy that everyone inside must wear a mask. Fords rep told us theyve communicated that with the white house but also said the white house will be making their own determination for the president. And interestingly enough, the state has weighed in here with the attorney general saying that if the president doesnt wear a mask that could have implications for any future visits he has. If he fails to wear a mask, hes going to be asked not to return to any enclosed facilities inside our state. I know ford has asked him to do the same thing. But if we know this, and hes not going to follow the law, i think were going to have to take action against any company or any facility that allows him inside those facilities and puts our workers at risk. Reporter now, ive spoken to a source in the facility who says they would prefer the president wear a mask when he steps inside, specifically citing that when their ceo and when Union Leadership and others stepped inside, they want to see more of that leadership by example on that front. But again, this visit is not happening within a vacuum. It also comes as President Trump has been going back and forth pleading state officials here specifically over the recent move by secretary of state to send absentee ballot applications to all of their voters. Now, he initially mischaracterized what was being sent out saying theyre ballots, as opposed to applications. He also claimed to withhold federal funding to michigan. Again, these are the dynamics playing out as President Trump makes his way to ypsilanti, john. To that point, dana, the president has been a contrarian when it comes to masks. He doesnt wear one even though his government tells you that you should out in public, or in close proximity. Hes also heading to a state with the map on 2016, and fighting with a governor who has giant Approval Ratings on how shes handling the pandemic. The governor is getting high numbers, normally, that would say back off, dont fight, but hes picking the fight . Because he cant help himself. This is not something that hes being encouraged ed td to do B Police Department cat advisers according to the people im talking to. He sees the governor as somebody who has challenged him which he doesnt like. And its even more of a sore point when its a strong, powerful woman. And then you take it to the next step where he does also see the visuals in the, you know, volumes of news that he consumes. Of the protests in michigan, specifically, saying those are my people. I want to encourage those people. I want to keep those people going. Because if i have a chance of winning in michigan, they need to be electrified. And they need to know that i have their back. It is a tricky political business, never mind health business, when youre talking about the president as omar was just reporting going into a state, going into a plant that requires him to wear a mask. Will he wear one . It may seem like were talking about something that is trivial, but its not. It is examplesetting in a really, really important way. Even more so now, much more so now than at the white house, because this is a business that is saying please respect our policies. But the question, again, does the president side with the scientific experts . Or does he side with members of his base saying its the elitists telling us to do this . We dont have to do this. Theyre overstating this. Right. Another thing thats fascinating to watch, the president has traveled rarely because of restrictions in place. When he has left washington, its been to go to arizona, to go to pennsylvania, and to go to michigan. Pretty obvious. Totally obvious. Theyre not even trying to hide it. Hes not going to blue states that he has absolutely no chance of winning. They are trying as much as they can to replicate a Campaign Event until every move that he makes. And thats what michigan is about. Even though, you know, its unclear how its going to play out, as you said, he would not be president of the United States without that surprise win. In michigan. But the fact that he is going there is 1,000 because its such a politically critical state. It does, in fairness to the white house also happen to be a hot spot. And had a very, very big problem, you know, historically, since the beginning of this crisis, that the federal government had been trying to work with. More the Vice President working with the governor than him. But there is a reasonable excuse for him to go to michigan. And a Good Opportunity for him to be in that ford factory where omar noted theyre making ventilators as well as parts of cars there and theyll get to see some of the spacing in place to protect their workers. And we should note, going to a ford factory, i mean, those are his people. If you look at the Union Leadership, what we learned in 2016 is that the leadership height behind their Traditional Party which is the democratic party. But it was the workers who turned out to be the trump voters. And so thats not an accident that is the kind of place he is going to within a swing state. Many implications about the pandemic, about politics. More dana bash, appreciate it, and omar appreciate that reporting as well. Moving on to the medical fight a 1 billion deal for a vaccine that may or may not work. That deal involves u. S. Tax dollars. The Trump Administration now working with the big Drugmaker Astrazeneca to manufacture a vaccine currently being developed at the university of oxford. Heres the ceo. Were doing the were not doing phase one, two, were going to do phase two, three, its a completely styled program. And moving very quickly with a lot of resources involved. A lot of focus and great collaboration. Lets talk this over, dr. Paul osfit is on the advisory committee. Good to see you again. This is the Trump Administration entering into a very expensive deal, essentially to have this company produce vaccines even before we know if it is the vaccine, smart, risky, somewhere in the middle . Well, again, i think that these are very preliminary data. As you said earlier, we dont know whether this is safe. We dont know whether this vaccine works. We will know that, though. I mean, assuming we do this the right way and this vaccine is subject to a phrase three trial which is say in a large placebo trial, 20,000 people get the vaccine, and 20,000 people get the placebo, you can see where its safe. And then you know. The proof is in the pudding and thats the pudding. Right now, its just science and maybe we have a vaccine, but we dont know that yet. So, in terms of the infrastructure, many of our viewers here in the United States or around the world, they see the depressing numbers on the right side of the screen. The World Health Organization reporting its single biggest day in terms of spike cases. I want you to listen to this conversation of dr. Fauci here with his case with julia roberts. Say its better to make global delivery. We cant make a vaccine for ourselves and only know how well it works in ourselves. If you dont control an outbreak in the developing world, its going to come around and bite you the next season. So unless you completely stop this, youre not going to wall yourself off from the developing world. You have a lot of experience in this. Do you see the International Cooperation among the scientists and among the governments, to pull this off . That if whether it is in months or a year or month, when we finally get to that shot on goal that goes in and you have a vaccine do you see the infrastructure being built, the political cooperation being built, the bonds and trusts, if you will, to ramp up production in a way to get it to the world, as opposed to the wealthy nations . Well, theres certainly Cooperation Among the scientists. I certainly think theres political will in this world to make sure the vaccine goes to all of the places. How much more do we need to know that what happens in the rest of the world affects us. And i think we have a mobile obligation, quite frankly, that were a good friend to this world. I think its going to be more than one vaccine if we get it out there not only to our country but also all of the other countries who can benefit. Thats our moral and ethical obligation. Dr. Offit, i appreciate your expertise and wise context, if will you. Well continue the conversation and we wish all of the scientists luck, of course. Thank you. Thank you. Lets shift now to new evidence of the Economic Impact of coronavirus. The Labor Department reports another 2. 4 million americans, 2. 4 million americans filing firsttime unemployment claims last week. Thats now nearly 40 Million People filing for benefits in just two months. And correspondent and anchor julia chatterley is here. You add up the numbers, julia, you get whiplash . You do. With the american workers, its tough to say it any differently. And were still falling. The numbers that were seeing on a weekly basis are coming down but the trend is lowering but thats no comfort wehen were talking 1 in 4 workers struggling in terms of furlough or just afraid. With the numbers were talking about, how many people were talking about, there were an additional 1. 2 gig economy workers, sole traders, uber drivers, for example, and were just getting a sense of additional sectors that have never got benefits before. But you also have to look state by state because the differences here are quite drastic. If you look at states like kentucky, georgia, were now talking up to close to 40 of workers in that state, asking, filing for firsttime benefits. If you have a state thats deeply reliant, close contact business, tourism, entertainment, youre looking at far worse than depression numbers here too. What were not collecting in this data is jobs coming back. And this is what the key focus is going to be on. That even when i look at the number of people that were already claiming benefits, those numbers spiked by more than 2. 5 Million People. John, ill keep coming back to the fact that workers say this is temporary, my job is going to come back were simply not seeing that in the data. Steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary said theres a strong likelihood that a further stimulus bill is needed. Hes right. Well watch as they play out, and the numbers tell us months and months of disruption. Ahead of us. Julia comphat chatterley.

All 50 states now at least partially reopen. Many of them accelerating their plans this week. But at least 17 of those states recording a clear upward trend of average new cases this week. We look often at the states. Lets take a look at what the map looks like when you look at it by a county by county perspective. Here in the United States, you hope where you live is lighter. The darker colors where the cases are hit the hardest. Confirmed cases by 1,000 residents. Deep red, you have a big coronavirus problem. Light red, obviously, not as much of a problem. You can look at it county by county in terms of deaths, stretching up to new england, louisiana down here. A problem out west, navajo nation. Other parts of the western United States, again, if youre looking at this map, you would prefer the you live to be light, not deep into the red. If you go county by county. Looking at major counties, across america. In orange county, california, you are coming down. So the question is why are well heading up . Is it one time, some cluster or a couple days of trouble . Or are you starting to climb up . You dont want that. Harris county, texas, houston is in harris county. Officials see this again, were ready to reopen and that is what makes people nervous. I want to put the county map with cases just back up as we talk about a new coronavirus model that warns areas of the country that open too quickly could see case spikes. The question is a rapid uptick in parts of texas, parts of alabama and tennessee. It shows in other states where restrictions were lifts more slowly and selectively believe those states may escape an immediate surge. Joining us dr. David reuben from the childrens lab in philadelphia which is a big part of the study. Doctor, when you look at this, you say, okay, these places, we think theyre on the right track, these places trouble us . How did you make those judgments . Our models are subject to what people do. By and far, the most immediate transmission of the virus is the distancing that people do. We know what might set apart the communities that were doing well, versus those that werent were not only how quickly they were go but how vigilant people remaybe. Masks indoors, restricting gatherings, and hand hygiene and disinfection. And the degree of area not moving too quickly, were starting to see evidence of resurgence, but were also seeing optimism in other areas that appear to be moving more cautiously. And theyre opening as well, too, but were not seeing the same resurgence risk there. So were going to track these on a daily basis and certainly, on a weekly basis. I want to show some areas that you believe are doing well. You look at king county, washington. You have the numbers here. You can see it just on the chart there. If you figure it out, on the top, thats bad. And trend down, with the proc projections. Denver, colorado, a big spi
