Burnett. The United States on the verge of setting a new daily high for Coronavirus Infections beating the record set the day before when the u. S. Saw 50,000 new positive covid cases in one day. As of tonight 38 states are headed in the wrong direction and all of them seeing increases cases. Yet if you listen to the president you would think the country is in great shape. The crisis, is being handled. We have some areas where we are putting out the flames or the fires. It is working out well. Now we are opening it up. It is opening up far faster than anybody thought possible and more successfully. He may want to be quite careful declaring success right now. In florida an 11yearold has been the youngest person to die from the virus after the state reported 10,000 new cases, a record. That is not success. Just today georgia and arkansas reported a Record Number of cases. That is not a crisis being handled. In california hospitalizations are at an alltime high and in texas masks are now required for most people in public. That is not a fire that has been extinguished yet. What we have seen is spikes well beyond the worst we have seen. We have to get that under control or we risk a greater outbreak in the United States. Dr. Fauci saying that we are not going in the right direction. A complete contradiction to what President Trump said today. While President Trump continues to either exist in his own reality or definitely on his own island. It is an island getting lonelier and lonelier and even Vice President mike pence is changing his tone, albiet ever so slightly. Six days ago proclaimed we have flattened the curve and now is forced to put it this way. We will slow the spread. We will flatten the curve. We will flatten the curve. Nick watt is out front live in los angeles. Nick, another day in california seeing troubling numbers. Reporter that is right. It is easy to get lost in the numbers. I am going to give you only one. The number of californians with covid19 in the hospital over the last two weeks has gone up 50 . Orange county joined a bunch of other counties closing the beaches for the july fourth weekend. It will be interesting to see if people comply with the orders. This afternoon in texas, a major announcement. Masks mandatory in every texas county with more than 20 cases. In austin we may have to go back to a stay at home. Would they do it if they knew it would be for 35 days. The biggest testing site in the state struggling to cope. That is now a nationwide fear. You are seeing steady and significant increases in demand for testing. We are concerned that the demand will exceed our current capacity. In california they say 1 in 140 angelenos are now infected. As early as next week as many as 1 in 100 or 1 in 70. California, 1 of 23 states now pausing or rolling back reopening. Florida is pushing forward despite more than 10,000 new cases today. Now people understand this does not just go away. I think we will be very good with the coronavirus. I think that at some point that will just disappear, i hope. The u. S. Is now, now seeing alltime Record Numbers of new cases, around 50,000 per day. More than many countries have suffered during the entirety of the pandemic. In a day. It is not just more testing. This is a real increase in cases. And now driven not by the elderly. The current outbreak is primarily due to under 35s with a lot of gatherings, not appropriate protection like masks. Take tuscaloosa, alabama. We had seen over the last few weeks parties going on in the county. Reporter parties to purposefully spread the virus with a cash prize one City Council Member said. I think it is careless. It made me mad as hell. Reporter in new york city our onetime epicenter, today there is optimism. I understand parents want answers. Schools will be opening in september. Younger asymptomatic spreaders are now the focus and a message from dr. Birx to everyone in florida under the age of 40 who has been in a crowd any time in the last four weeks, whether you have symptoms or not, she is as that you now need to get a test. See if he gets the message. Out in front now dr. Sanjay gupta. And dr. Jonathan reimer. Great to see you both. Sanjay, hearing dr. Fauci, i know you listened to him closely to the work that he uses because he is very specific in how he speaks. He is now saying very clearly that we are not going in the right direction. As the president is at the same time insisting the crisis is being handled. What do you see when you look at the actual science and data around the surges right now . There is actual data here. The United States is the worst hit country in the world when it comes to coronavirus. I cant believe i am saying that. The worst in the world. A quarter of the infections and a quarter of the deaths and as you know, as you were just hearing the numbers are going in the wrong direction. You have to drag people kicking and screaming to get them to wear masks. I think that it is important the mask order was implemented in texas. The other states will do it but what will they tolerate and how much do they have to see the numbers going up. It defies logic. How much deaths are they going to tolerate. I know. It is tough to put it in such stark derms. I think there is always a hope and an optimism that you can turn the corner. But the numbers are going in the wrong direction. Masks are really important. It is one part of the equation. Like everyone is fighting and clawing to get the most simple things done here and we have abandoned the idea of getting the Bigger Picture tackled. No more indoor large gatherings, making sure that testing can be put in place. In texas it takes several hours to get a test. We have no idea of the magnitude of the problem that we are dealing with and people are minimizing it since they have from the start. It is the president trying to paint a rosie picture of everything being under control. Dr. Fauci, feels like he is screaming from the rooftops now in the latest bbc, trying to jolt people awake is what he said. He is trying to do that. Listen to the comparison. We are seeing very disturbing spikes in different states. The crisis is being handled. Only about 50 of the country locked down. That allowed the perpetuation of the outbreak. It is like the president is operating in an alternate universe on this one. Right. Dr. Fauci is a physician and a scientist. His primary motivation is extinguish the pandemic. The president on the other hand is running for reelection and his primary motivation is to get reelected. Notice that the president emphasizes how widely that the United States is opening up. He is doing it in a time where multiple states that opened up too early, florida, arizona, texas, are seeing this astonishing surge in the number of cases but the president continues to out to the opening of the country. So, we are seeing the divergence of motivations. The president s motivation is to get elected. Dr. Faucis motivation is to put the pandemic away. Sanjay, what do you make of the fact that tomorrow the president is heading to mt. Rushmore for a Fireworks Show he has been promoting where 7,500 people are expected to be there and the governor said clearly that masks are not required and there are no plans for social distancing measures. If you dont get it by now i am not sure that these messages are going to be heard by the people that need to hear them. This is not about science anymore. I talked many times about this. He should be in charge of things. But regardless, there is not the knowledge is not the problem. We as reporters are trying to inform people and make them more knowledgeable and uptodate on what is happening. I came to the conclusion over the last few weeks that is not the problem anymore. Maybe people knew that all along. That shouldnt be happening. Close proximity. A Long Duration of time. Masks not being mandated. The president of the United States. Isnt that even a security concern . These are viruses. They can make someone quick. He is a Vulnerable Person in terms of his age and preexisting conditions. Makes no sense. I dont know how many times we can say that things defy logic but this is another example. I hate hearing your frustration like this. It burns me to hear your frustration. That is where we are. You have been saying this. Doctor, you have been warning of it as well. To put a fine point on what we are talking about, the risks that are here. The former republican president ial candidate herman cain, he is now in the hospital with coronavirus. It is not yet known where he got it but he attended President Trumps rally in that enclosed arena, not wearing a mask. If he was contagious at the rally or got it at the rally how do you Contact Trace with a group that large . It is impossible without technology which we can acquire. Apple and google put together technology that would enable us to do that. You know, i hope that he does well. Is it possible to know where he acquired the virus. He went to tulsa during a surge in the viral activity there. In a tightly packed venue with thousands of people, all of whom were not wearing masks. This is how you acquire the virus. The president s advanced team had over a dozen people acquiring the virus in tulsa. And one other thing, mr. Cain is in the hospital. He is the same age as the president. The president is flirting with disaster by going to indoor venues with lots of people with lots of virus. Just because he is tested frequently is not a superman cape. He can get the virus. The more he flirts with it the higher likelihood that he will get it. He probably has close to a 20 chance of dying if he contracts the virus. I would say home. Everyone needs that message right now. Thank you both. Out front for us next, arizonas intensive care units nearly ats any. Worried that his hospital could run out of beds and more and more moms to be infected with coronavirus and it is putting a serious strain on hospitals.

Physician in phoenix and assistant professor at the Arizona College of medicine. Thank you for being here. What are you seeing in the hospital . How would you describe it. It almost feels like the new normal where we are getting patients and many of them with covid. They are coming with fever, shortness of breath, body aches. Everybody that tests is positive. I was mentioning that the states data caught up yet and in that time they have caught up. Everybody i was seeing looked sicker than the data suggested. Now they are seeing it in the e. R. A lot of people coming in and the positivity of covid we have is ridiculous. Our colleagues are being stressed too. Then comes the very hard decisions. What type of patient gets what type of bed and that is when it gets very tough for everyone involved. The governor is asking for 500 different doctors, nurses, technicians, all of them to help deal with the surge that you are talking about and you are already seeing. How much worse do you feel this will get before it gets better . My job and my specialty is to be calm under pressure. I hate to be alarmist but i think it is going to get worse. Arizona the worst within that country in terms of new cases. 25 of the people that test positive. That is just the cases that happen right now. The sickest people dont get sick until well after they are positive. They are already knowing they had covid. They come back because they have gotten sicker. There is always the question of were people taken it seriously enough. A 30yearold man from arizona admits he was not concerned about the coronavirus and then he went to a bar and then he got sick and he got the virus and i want to play for everyone how he talks about it now. Listen to this. I was laying on my bed in a position to breathe like a person that smoked for 50 years. When i decided to go to the hospital i decided to make this message public because i knew i made a mistake and didnt take it seriously. There are a lot of people that have the view. Covid fatigue. Tired of feeling cooped up and not seeing friends. What you see in your hospital, what is the message for folks heading into the Holiday Weekend . I am glad that he is opening up. It takes guts to say i got sick and i want to tell others they can get sick too. I have seen patients his age repeatedly coming in to the hospital. There are multiple nba players with covid and nhl players with covid. They have way above average income levels and they are young and they are professional athletes, super healthy. If the rates in the sports players are that high you can imagine how susceptible all of us are whether you are old or young. Even if you dont feel like you will get a deadly disease you can see that. I have seen multiple patients with similar and we have a lot of elderly ones in arizona. They are 65 more times to die from covid. A that is really selfish and dangerous for you as well and dangerous for everyone. As we go in to the holiday. It is very important to keep that in mind. Doctor, thank you. Out front next, we take you inside a hospital where doctors are noticing an alarming trend. It has gone from probably, you know, 50s and 60s to i dont know how many people in their 20s.

Methodist hospital now has a dedicated unit for babies born to mothers that have it. That picture, does that happen to babies with covid . Unfortunately, no. As soon as the baby is born they bring them right to us outside of the doors and it is just a brief moment that the mom might get a glimpse. In the womb it is not typically transmitted from mother to child but during the birthing process the risk goes up and treating new borns is much, much more complicated. Health care workers wear full ppe. These moms are kept separated from others in case. I do. The way that things are going. Christie is expecting her fourth child.
