Bay area will now be closed for the 4th of july weekend. The weekend that has raised a lot of concern. Reporter bars, dinein restaurants, and movie theaters will now also close again in 19 californian counties for at least three weeks. And today a daily death toll in the state like we havent seen since april. Do not take your guard down. Please do not believe those that somehow want to manipulate the reality. Over in florida, 10,000 new cases logged in miami dade in just the past week and Record Numbers now hospitalized in arizona i know well get through this. Reporter where the Vice President just touched down to meet with the republican governor. Im not sure what more we can do short of a total shutdown. Reporter record high hospitalizations also in texas. We moved out too fast before we had testing and tracing fully in place. While we opened in phases we went from one phase to the next phase to the next phase too quickly. We werent able to see the data. He is echoing dr. Anthony fauci one of the most respected voices on this virus but no longer respected by all. He doesnt know what he is talking about. We havent skipped over anything. The only thing im skipping over is listening to him. He has been wrong every time on every issue. I dont need his advice anymore. Reporter across the country the average number of new cases every day is near doubled in just the past two weeks. 37 states are seeing their case counts climb. 19 of them now pausing or rolling back reopening. New york city was due to open Indoor Dining monday. Not anymore. We start out Outdoor Dining on a vast scale a few weeks ago. It is going great. It is much safer. Were going to double down in that direction. Reporter and a new warning from the federal official in charge of testing now testing alone will not be enough. Testing is critical but we cannot test our way out of the current outbreaks. We must be disciplined about our own personal behavior especially around the july 4th holiday and especially among young adults. Reporter of course a vaccine would be the game changer. Some positive news from pfizer today about the one that they are working on but listen. Even if we get a vaccine by january as many people hope we will, it could then take many months after that to get it distributed and to get enough people vaccinated to make a difference. Jake . All right. Nick watt in los angeles, thank you so much. Joining us now cnn chief medical correspondent dr. Sanjay gupta. Take a look at the rapidly rising number of cases in california. California was one of the first states to lock down and still its dealing with record infections, more than 40 increase in hospitalizations. They have been aggressive from the beginning. Why is it not working for them . What is going wrong . First of all, the virus doesnt lie and the statistics dont lie. That is one thing were dealing with numbers here. Sometimes people come and call the numbers into question. They are what they are. And so then it is important to try and figure out why this might be. When youre dealing with a Large Population of people, that can be hard to figure out. People could be having large, private family gatherings with extended family and neighbors. That is one of the things Governor Newsom has been particularly worried about because those are harder to track. Then people go back to their own homes and this starts to spread. I think that is one of the concerns here. Also, you know, jake, you get an idea what explosive growth means. You hear the term a lot. It is like the old childhood thing. Give you a penny today, two pennies tomorrow, four pennies the next day. Would you rather have that or a Million Dollars at the end of the month . The answer is the pennies because it is worth 5 million the end of the month. My point is if you start to double every so often the numbers grow significantly and in a place like california, l. A. Specifically, thats what were seeing. The other thing weve talked about is that you and fauci have both noted that there is not one state that opened according to the White House Coronavirus task force plans. Not one of them waited until they had the 14 days in a row reduction, etcetera, etcetera. None of them have the kind of Contact Tracing that is needed and yet all of them and, yes, there was pressure from President Trump and from the Business Community and others, all of them opened early including california. Yeah. I mean, they did. The criteria were laid out. We reported on those criteria at the time, explained why the gating criteria existed. The first thing, you want to see this 14 day downward trend. The reason that exists is not just an arbitrary thing. If you get 14 days in a row of downward trend, first of all youll probably get to a really low number, number one. Number two, whatever it is you have a much better way of getting your arms around it to track and trace people. It is actually nearly an impock task to complete this part of the Public Health tool. Youve heard the republican Lieutenant Governor of texas, dan patrick saying he doesnt need to hear anything more from dr. Fauci. Fauci doesnt know what he is talking about. Obviously fauci knows quite a bit a lot more than Lieutenant Governor patrick. Texas is seeing a major surge in infections and hospitalizations. What do you think when you hear Lieutenant Governor patrick bashing Anthony Fauci . I dont know what specifically Lieutenant Governor is referring to. He came out and said, look. We followed every met every criteria. We can show this. The texas case count and keep in mind texas was slow to close down the state. We have another one that shows the case count in the weeks since they opened up on may first. Supposed to have a 14day downward trend. As i said earlier the data doesnt lie. They had one of their highest days the day before they opened. The concern is when you do that you could be basically creating momentum around new infections and it might spiral out of control. That is not the time to reopen. That is why the criteria exists. He says they followed every single criteria. This is the first criteria. 14 day downward trend. These are the two weeks leading up to when they opened. Not a 14day downward trend. Nope. A new study in the american Journal Association finds the number of deaths from coronavirus could be 28 higher than the official count closing in on 130,000. How do they even determine that . Well, they go back and actually start to look at death certificates and look at something known as excess deaths. I dont mean to sound too grim here but this is how that work is done. What they found is about 120 or so 120,000 or so excess deaths during this time period when the study was done. They also recognized there wasnt a lot of testing as you know initially and still isnt. It is hard to confirm people who have died of coronavirus but also people were dying from things that werent traditional sort of respiratory issues. You remember, jake, people had strokes, pulmonary emblichls, heart attacks. Then you go back and look at the data you start to realize many of those deaths may have been attributable to covid. The number of deaths per day has declined precipitously in the u. S. Over the last several weeks. That is something we havent been covering much because the number of cases is going up. We keep hearing young people are making aup significant portion of new cases in the u. S. Is that why you think the death rate has dropped and are you expecting the death rate to go back up given the explosion of new cases . Yeah. I think there are two things. One is what you mentioned. I was spending time with my experts today on this very issue. As you start to do surveillance testing out in the community and testing people who are asymptomatic, these younger people, you are likely to see more infections but fewer deaths. That is good. I think over all if you look at the numbers on the right side of the screen that would suggest a 5 fatality rate. We know it is lower than that. We know theres a lot more people out there who have the infection, who have not been officially counted. The other thing and this is an optimistic thing is we have gotten better about treating patients. It was all about ventilators first. This isnt a typical respiratory illness. Ventilators in some cases proved to be harmful. We have a few therapeutics now which could be potentially beneficial. Unfortunately, jake, i think it is the second point youre making which i think deaths is a lagging indicator. There will be more deaths with infection because people will start to spread this to other vulnerable people. That is what weve seen in countries around the world and in this country just a couple months ago. It usually comes, increase in cases, increase in hospitalizations, then increase in deaths. We are somewhere between one and two now. Dr. Sanjay gupta, thank you so much for your time today. A former marine and current congressman says that trump has been displaying treasonous behavior, slamming the president s handling of intelligence on russian bounties. Congressman seth molten democrat of massachusetts will join us next. Vladimir putin could stay in power for 15 years. How President Trump might be making it easier for putin to tighten his grip on power. Instead of trying to decide should i invest in stocks or not . Meaning, are stocks going to rise or not . , lets instead stop looking at the investments, which we cant control, and lets now look at our goals, which we can control. In other words, we only want to take as much risk as is necessary to achieve our goals. We need to protect the money thats there. And that says you should be investing in. record scratching how abowhat a shame. Wilson . So soon after retiring. I hear his wife needed help with the funeral expenses.

In our politics today, President Trump making an absurd allegation on twitter. Saying its all a hoax made up by the media he says. Not true. The president also called street paintings of the words black lives matter a, quote, symbol of hate. The president also suggested the only way to save the heritage of the United States is to reelect him in november. You may recall the words of trumps first secretary of defense, marine general jim mattis, quote, donald trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American People, does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. Unquote. Reporter as the u. S. Reports record highs of new coronavirus cases, President Trump repeated his claim that the pandemic will soon disappear. I think that at some point that is going to sort of just disappear i hope. You still believe so. I do, i do. At some point. I think well have a vaccine, soon, too. Lately trump has ignored grim assessments from his own Health Officials and focused on stoking cultural battles. After new york slashed the Police Budget by a billion dollars trump rebuked the citys plan to paint black lives matter on fifth avenue, calling it a symbol of hate that would denigrate the luxury street and further antagonize new yorks finest. The citys mayor confirmed its partially a message to the president. Were going to make it really clear to the president. It is going to be right outside his door step. We want the president to hear it because he has never shown respect for those three words. Reporter the last Task Force Trump created focused on coronavirus but today the department of Homeland Security formed another on protecting monuments, memorials, and statutes as trump has vowed they wont be removed on his watch. Trump is even positioning himself for a fight with congress over the matter threatening to veto a defense spending act because it includes a provision to rename military bases named for confederate leaders. Though the bill includes raising soldiers pay the press secretary has said trump is serious about his threat. The president will not be signing legislation that renames americas forts. Reporter trumps political advisers fear he is distracted from the Health Crisis facing the country as he continued to insist today the reports of russians offering to pay the taliban to kill u. S. Soldiers are fake news. I agree with the intelligence people. I think frankly many of the intelligence people didnt think it was something that even happened. Reporter but he didnt explain why his National Security adviser drew up plans in case they werent. Here at the white house when we had this raw intelligence we started an interagency process to look at options so that if the intelligence turned out to be verified, if it could be corroborated, then wed have options to go to the president with to address the russian situation. Reporter lawmakers have been calling for more information about what the intelligence agencies know and some of them will get it tomorrow when it is going to be the highest level briefing yet on whats been going on. That is going to be for the gang of eight, the congressional leaders from both parties, and the heads of the intelligence committees, and given by some of the Intelligence Officers theyve been asking to hear from. The cia director, the director of the National Security agency, and the president s director of National Intelligence will also be there tomorrow during this briefing about 11 30 on capitol hill. All right. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Joining us now democratic congressman seth molten of massachusetts who served in iraq as a platoon leader with the u. S. Marines. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. You said today the way President Trump has handled the entire controversy is, quote, treasonous. Obviously treason is one of the worst crimes anyone can commit against their country. How is this treasonous . Its aiding and abetting our enemy. Russia is our enemy. The taliban is an enemy of the United States. What the president has done with his complicit silence, with his undebatable dereliction of duty in refusing to take action to protect our troops is absolutely aiding our enemy. So you also said that American Kids are dead because of the president s inaction. As i understand it, intelligence is still investigating whether or not these bounties can be pinpointed on any specific attack though there is an april, 2019 attack that killed three marines they are looking at. Are you confident placing that level of blame on intelligence that is not yet verified . Im confident with everything we know. Jake, intelligence is never a hundred percent. Okay . We didnt have a hundred percent certainty that oebls was in that compound in pakistan when president obama made the command decision to take him out. As i as a platoon commander received a report my platoon might get ambushed, perhaps would get blown up by a mine, and i failed to say, well, we should take mine resistant vehicles, perhaps i said it is not a hundred percent so were just going to go out on foot, and my platoon got blown up, i wouldnt be on twitter defending myself. I would be in prison because that is the basic level of command responsibility expected of the most Junior Officers in our military. And so for trump to deny that as commanderinchief is the ultimate dereliction of duty. I have a lot of friends in the military, nothing like you of course who served but one of the first reactions i got was from a mom whose son has served in afghanistan and she was just so distressed that President Trumps well, a, at the news although russians meaning us ill is not exactly new, but at President Trumps reaction, which was most about passing the buck. I didnt get briefed. I dont know anything about it. We still have yet to hear anything. He is attacking the New York Times and not attacking at all putin or the gru which allegedly did this. I mean, thank god trump reads the New York Times because he doesnt seem to read his intelligence briefings. Thank god the New York Times made this story public so our troops would know because the commanderinchief and his team refused to take action. We also heard mike pompeo trying to say oh, this wasnt verified. He knows better than that. We ought to be asking what did mike
