Seen. Globally 750,000 people have died. Yesterday alone almost 1500 people in the United States died from coronavirus. To put that in perspective, thats the highest number of deaths in one day since may. In diswar with telaware with th campaign, they called for nationwide mandate but this time they put the onus on the governor to do so. Thats exactly right. In the past back in June Joe Biden expressed he would be willing to use federal power to put a mask mandate in place. Remember, right now joe biden does not have any federal power, so hes using essentially the bully pulpit of being the democratic nominee to really turn up the heat and put the pressure on the Trump Administration and governors in states where a mask mandate is currently not in place. Listen to him and Kamala Harris today. Every single american should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum. Every governor should mandate every governor should mandate mandatory mask wearing. So what real leadership looks like is joe biden. To speak up, sometimes telling us the stuff we dont necessarily want to hear but we need to know. Biden really framed this as nonpartisan issue. He said its not about republican, democrat or independent, but a patriotic choice to protect fellow americans and yourself by wearing a mask, calling for that mask mandate for three months. He said that could save 40,000 lives if a mask mandate was put in place across the country. Kamala harris adding after her remarks as well that the other things the biden and Harris Administration would do regarding covid pandemic if they were in power that included testing kits. They have an extensive plan to get testing kits across the country to millions of americans and also contact tracing. They want to hire 100,000 americans to take part in contact tracing. But pam, the key question here is, too, will governors do this, how would this work. Biden and harris did not take questions at the endoftheir remarks. We dont have details on that. Just calling for mandate to be put in place and calling on governors to make it so. Interesting the change. He in the past said there should be a federal mandate. Now hes saying, yeah, a nationwide mandate but what the governors implement. Jessica, thanks for breaking that down. We appreciate it. For many u. S. Schools welcoming students back to the building classes were halted after new coronavirus cases were reported. By cnns count, more than 2,000 students, teachers and staff have had to quarantine so far. Now cnns athena jones reports, the dilemma has forced districts to navigate what to do if inperson learning proves dangerous. The gravest Public Health crisis to hit the nation. The blount admission from dr. Redfield. We need to owe it to our children and grandchildren this nation is never underprepared again. The rare candid remarks as the u. S. Confront deadliest day of the summer, 1499 lost to covid19 sunday. If 99 of americans dont follow basic guidelines, mask wearing, handwashing and social distancing this could be the worst fall from a Public Health perspective weve ever had. Im not asking some of america to do it, weve all got to do it. While new cases are falling in 43 states, deaths have averaged 1,000 a day for 17 days now. Covid Positivity Rates are on the rise in 35 states with texas leading the nation at nearly 24 . Even as the number of tests being conducted nationwide continues to decline. Bottom line is im not pleased with how things are going. This the thing thats disturbing to me is that were starting to see the inkling in the upparticulars of the percent of tests positive. In miami beach an entire classroom and bus route were placed in quarantine one days after open for inperson instruction and a student began exhibiting symptoms. Students, teachers, staff across five states are under quarantine due to covid concerns. There is just no way right now where this epidemic is ranling across the south in florida, georgia, alabama, mississippi, louisiana, and much of texas that you can open up schools safely. Still its game on in utah tonight. A state with a Positivity Rate of almost 9 . Two high schools facing off in the first football match of the season. I feel like the titanic, weve hit the iceberg, and were making decisions when the ban will play. Not controlling this virus would be the number one priority. At the college level, more caution with big east joining big ten, pac west and midamerican conferences in postponing the fall sports season. We started talking about return to sports in april. We were envisions that there would be a continued downward trajectory of covid19 new infections and deaths and that hasnt happened. Were moving into very troubled waters now. Its a very narrow path to get fall sports right. And were getting more insight into the impact on americans. A new cdc survey finding 41 of respondents are struggling with anxiety, depression, increased Substance Use or suicidal thoughts. People age 18 to 24 and preexisting Mental Health conditions were most likely to worth symptoms while selfreported unpaid caregivers were most like to say they suffered suicide in the last 40 days. That is extremely troubling. To think what dr. Redfield is saying we could see the worst fall weve seen. Thank you for bringing us that. I want to analyze and go in deeper with cnn medical analyst and chief of in fedex diseases at massachusetts general hospital. Thanks for coming on dr. Wolinski. I first want to start with this news coming out today. Your reaction to joe biden saying every governor across the country would mandate mask wearing for every american. Good afternoon, pamela, thanks for having me. I dont particularly care where the mandate comes from, from the federal government, governors or personal mandate. I actually think it should come from a personal mandate. The answer is we need masks. We know what we need to do over the next we could do this in the next eight weeks. We as a country could do this in the next eight weeks. Were in the fuzzy zone where we count thousands of deaths per day. Another 20,000 deaths before labor day and were not actually doing something about it. Were throwing stimulus packages at it, but were not fixing the root of the problem. We know how to fix the root of the problem. People need to stay home, distance, wear masks. If it takes the democratic president ial candidate to say it, great. I just think somebody needs to take Everyone Needs to take personal responsibility to make it happen. We have this small window of time where we could take concrete steps as mitigation efforts youve laid out where there wont be as many lives lost and it wont be as bad in the fall and the winter as dr. Redfield is sort of warning. This ominous warning saying the fall could be the worst this nation has ever seen. Why is that, and what do we need to do . What does this country need to do to prevent that . Well, i would venture to say this is one of the worst summers weve ever had, and i would say we are, you know, in many places about four weeks and counting until the beginning of fullfledged School Season. We have fall respiratory and then influenza. All that is going to cloud the picture and make it more and more difficult. That with winter coming, cooler weather, people needing to be outside, people no longer having the option to be inside, an i think we have a very tough time ahead unless we can acutely, rapidly take this problem seriously. You mentioned schools. Were not even in the fullfledged School Season as you pointed out yet were already seeing a number of positive covid cases in various schools across the country and the responses have been varied, if you look at them. There was one place in florida, floridas marin county that quarantined an entire Elementary School class after a test and one bus route after a student showed coronavirus symptoms, but it didnt shut down the entire school. From a medical perspective, what is the proper protocol about that since the white house hasnt really released any guidelines on what to do for that scenario . Yeah, its a really challenging problem right now, because the places that have opened schools have so Much Community spread that you could have anticipated they would never get the students in the door before this happened. In fact, what i think is really a problem is that there are places that can responsibly open schools, should should responsibly open schools, if not fully in person, at least a hybrid model. They can do so because theres limited quunt spread in their region, massachusetts, new york, maine, connecticut. Thats possible. What they are seeing is whats happening in georgia and florida and saying its no way safe to happen. In fact, thats not the message that should be sent. The the mental is its responsible in some cases where its limited Community Spread, its very possible. Its completely irresponsible in places opened already. President trump has said the federal government will provide up to 125 Million Masks to School Districts nationwide. Is that going to be enough, do you think . Wow, there are 4 million teachers and lots of students. I think its enough when every kid is masked. I dont think its nearly enough if theres Community Spread ongoing. Masks alone wont fix this when theres so Much Community spread in schools. People are going to be near each other. Not every child is able to wear a mask. First look to hospitals to make sure they arent overwhelmed, icus arent overwhelmed, then look at how Much Community spread ongoing. If its limited, then you can bring your kids safely back and then you need to mask them in the schools. All right. So help us understand these numbers. Cases of the coronavirus appear to be going down steady in most of the country, if you look at the states. Look at the numbers for percent positive. It is 33 states right now, at least check before the show, that have a Positivity Rate over 5 . In fact, texas is up to nearly 24 . 34 states have an increase in Positivity Rate. What does this mean . Its sort of like we have a mixed picture here. We know if your Positivity Rate is greater than 5 two things are true. One, you have too much disease in your community. Two, youre not testing enough. Both of those are simultaneously true. When you look at a place like texas, a 25 Positivity Rate, its a shame. Thats where we were in boston in march when we didnt know what this disease was. We didnt have tests, we didnt know what we were operating with. To have this be the case six months later in texas is just shameful in my mind. We recognize in texas they should be doing five fold more testing than they have been doing. They both have an extraordinary number of cases and not testing enough. You make an important point. You look at other countries. In europe were seeing spikes in several cases. What makes it unique in the United States, its really been sustained really since the beginning of this pandemic. Thank you so much, dr. Rochelle wal enski, we appreciate it. Thank you. President trump not trying to be discreet about it. Admitting on live tv why he wants to block funding for the post office and its raising red flags.

Ask your dermatologist about skyrizi. With 82 days until election day, President Trump is on the attack appearing to go after anyone and anything in his way of a reelection win. For starters today he admitted why hes against more funding for the Postal Service. Now, if we dont make a deal, that means they dont get the money. That means they cant have universal mailin voting. They just cant have it. You heard it for yourself, trump linking mailin voting to postal voting suppressing votes in november. The fbi and attorney general, two men in place himself as Cnns Kaitlan Collins reports. Reporter President Donald Trump admitting hes opposing funding for the Postal Service in order to block expanded voting by mail. If we dont make a deal, that means they dont get the money. That means they dont have national mailin voting. Reporter out loud he said the reason talks have collapsed is because democrats want more money for the post office which he thinks will lead to more mailin ballots. They want 25 billion billion for the post office. Now, they need that money in order to have the post office work to take all these millions and millions of ballots. If they dont get hess these items they cant do mailin voting. Even for a president who railed against mailin voting for months, it was a stunning admission. Biden calling it an assault on democracy. Pure trump. He didnt want an election. Reporter it puts President Trump in direct conflict with democrats who says they wont accept a bill without post office funding. The president is afraid of the american people. He knows on the legit, it would be hard for him to win. So he wants to put opt calls in place. The president didnt stop with the post office. He also took aim at the man he put in marnl of the fbi when he was asked if chris wray would step down. I wish he was more forthcoming. He certainly hasnt been. He was chosen by a certain person and i said, go ahead, put whoever you want. He issued thinly veiled warning to attorney general over the justice departments investigation of the russia probe which some of the president s allies are hoping could give a last minute boost before the election. The greatest of all time but if he wants to be politically correct, hell be just another guy. The president continued to go after joe biden and his new running mate Kamala Harris though he struggled with a line of attack on harris beyond calling her nasty and disrespectful. Now you have sort of a man woman, i call her, because she was so angry and such hatred with justice kavanaugh. Ive never seen anything like it. She was the angriest of the group and they were all angry. Jared kushner did brief reporters and he was asked about recent reports hes had discussions with kanye west. He confirmed they did have a sitdown when they were both recently in colorado. Of course west has recently announced a president ial campaign that some republicans are hoping will take away votes from joe biden, though its not clear it will. If Jared Kushner asked if the two of them discussed kanye wests campaign, he said they had more of a policy discussion and didnt comment further. Kaitlan collins, thanks for that. Turning to world lead, israel agreed to temporarily pause annexation plans in the west bank and establish bilateral relationship with United Arab Emirates. All this announced earlier today but President Trump. After 49 years israel and United Arab Emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations. Now that the ice is broken, i expect more arab and muslim countries will follow United Arab Emirates lead, already discussing this with other nations. Cnn live from tel aviv. Elliot, the Trump Administration is calling this a significant step toward peace in the middle east. Put this in context for us. Just how significant is it . Reporter pamela, its hugely significant. President donald trump, of course, gives him a real Foreign Policy achievement in which to go into novembers elections. For israeli, this the third country, third middle eastern arab country that israel is due to normalize relations with after egypt and jordan. I think also Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, not only does it take some of the pressure off hes been facing of late regarding corruption trial and his governments handling of coronavirus pandemic, it also vindicates him in a way. In his words hes achieving peace for peace with the United Arab Emirates. In other words, no real concessions. You talked about the suspension of his plans to an ex parnex pa the west bank but its still on the table. Israel in the context of that hasnt given anything away. Its temporary. Palestinian leaders have rejected this agreement. How are other nations responding . Are they going to follow suit as President Trump suggests . The other arab leader weve heard from so far, weve heard from the president in egypt saying he welcomes this agreement. As he said, the palestinians condemning this agreement and calling for a meeting of the arab league. In terms of other countries that could follow suit, you often see members of the Gulf Corporation council, gcc following being on the same page when it comes to diplomatic relations. I think its unlikely well see one of the big ones like saudi arabia but one of the smaller countries like bahrain or ahman, a country netanyahu visited to meet with the late leader.

In our 2020 lead, facebook with the new Election Center, flagging posts, help register voters and give mailin voter registration. It comes days after top intelligence Officials Say three countries, russia, china, iran are already trying to interfere in the election by spreading disinformation. Facebook admitted 100 million were faced with posts during the 2016 election. Joining me for an exclusive interview, the head of cybersecurity policy at facebook. Thank you so much for coming on, nathaniel. Thanks for having me. First off, theres going to be this new Election Center facebook unveiled. Why should people trust facebook to provide voting information . What makes it credible . The Voting Information Centers are onestop shops for information on how to vote, how to register, how to make sure youre registered, how to get mailin ballots. All the information is going to come from state Election Officials and nonpartisan election experts. Our goal is to get this Accurate Information in front of voters so that they can understand whats coming. They can know how to vote, how to participate. I also know getting information out there is a key part of protecting an election. We know disinformation is most effective in times of uncertainty. So putting this information out there can inoculate public debate so they know whats coming and what to expect so we can get 4 Million People registered to vote. In june President Trump posted on facebook, 2020 election many foreign ballots will be printed by Foreign Countries and others. It will be the scandal of our time. This is not just misleading, this is a lie. Attorney general barr said he had no evidence of this happening. This post is still up and shared more than 18,000 times. Do you concede this false information is being spread on your platform . I think its really important to see claims elected officials are making about voting and how voting works. To be honest, i think claims will factor into peoples decision how they vote in the fall. At the same time let me ask you real quick on that point and ill let you finish. I dont understand. Youre saying people should listen to what elected Officials Say but didnt facebook remove the video posted of President Trump saying children are nearly immune from coronavirus, so how does that square. We have clear lines around harm particularly about coronavirus. Something that suggests fake cures or certain groups of people are immune. For voting information like this, whats really important is, yes, people should see what their elected officials are saying, but they need contacts and facts from the experts. The Voting Information Center will strike this balance. There will be links about voting so people will see what their elected officials are saying but also see information about how protected vote by mail is, what the process is, how they can request a vote by mail process if they need to do that in their state and what steps they should take to participate. Youre seeing if the president or politician gives misinformation on covid, that is different than misinformation about the election or disinformation i should say . If we see there are some very specific cases of false information. If it is misinformation about coronavirus that could lead to physical harm, if it is misinformation about voting that would lead to direct Voter Suppression. For example, lying about how, where, or when someone votes or suggesting there might be legal consequences for voting for certain types of people, we will take that down. The consequences of that if one person sees that and is deterred from voting is too significant. If people are making claims oar debating how voting works, i think that debate is important but people need Accurate Information so they can judge and see what their elected officials are saying. Couldnt the president saying vote by mail fraudulent be a form of Voter Suppression . In a case like this what we want, we want people to have Accurate Information on the posts. Whether its the president , whether its a different elected official, whether its a public influencer, people need to see how vote by mail works and how it is protected. Thats why in the voter Information Center theres facts about voting to dispel confusion to understand how it works and how it can be protected. I imagine facebook is gaming out how things can play out around the election. Facebook plays a very Critical Role for voters if Election Results are delayed in november and President Trump uses facebook to say vote by mail is fraudulent, will facebook take it out . Where is the line . It does look like were not going to know on november 3rd what the results are and that creates uncertainty. Its challenging because of domestic actors and also foreign akers. Foreign akers will take advantage of this time and try to manipulate public debate. Theres a couple of things to do. First and most important, voter Information Centers in the lead up to the election, they are going to show information about how to vote. On election day and immediately after, they will show information about how the count is going, whats happening, what people should expect. If there are claims and counterclaims about who won and whether the vote is complete or not or whether the vote is legitimate or not, people will see that but also see clear information about what to expect and what the process is. Where is the line then for taking out taking down posts that could be Voter Suppression or distrust foreign actors have done. Ive talked to forces in the law Environment Community who were concerned that politicians, that the president is basically helping foreign adversaries sew distrust in democracy, the election system, where is the line for that, especially in the election is delayed. One challenge here is we dont just want to focus on the content of the message. If were talking about foreign actor or any actor thats trying to mislead people about who they are or who is behind their operation, we will find and take that down. We removed more than 50 networks that tried to do it last year and nearly two dozen this year including some from russia and iran. We have behavior enforcement on people using fake accounts. If were talking about the content of the communication, weve laid out clearly a set of claims, statements about an election if they are provably false and about voting we will take them down. These are misleading people about how, when, or where to vote an other specific things we could talk about in more detail. Our teams are looking at this critical period after the election when there might be uncertainty and likely will be uncertainty and evaluating whether we should have additional components added here to be able to take action. Yeah. I mean, that is the question, what is the plan. Obviously facebook played a big role. Disinformation was pervasive in 2016 from foreign actors. We know russia, china, iran are using facebook and social media, again, to sew distrust. We also know that there have been hacking done. Prominent people, including joe biden have been hacked. Have you seen evidence of foreign actors trying to Hack Campaign or candidate accounts . What have you seen in that regard . Theres been a good amount of public reporting. The u. S. Government has highlighted this. Google highlighted it. They have seen targeting of some campaigns. We know that foreign actors are targeting campaigns. The reason they are doing that because influence operations and perception targets all of society. It starts social media. We see them targeting and using traditional media. We see them targeting debate across all the networks. We work closely together with our government partners, partners in Civil Society and other partners to be able to find and stop this type of targeting. Okay. I want to quickly before we let you go, nathaniel, i want to go to this video of nancy pelosi. Facebook has put this partly false label on the video of House Speaker nancy pelosi because it was manipulated to make it look like she was drunk or drugged. That video is on the site with 3. 7 million views. It looks like other video on facebook, no warnings oar fair labels. If Fact Checkers say the video was altered, why didnt you remove it or make it more clear this is false . I dont know the specific video youre referring to. What i can tell you is when a fact checker concludes something is false, we place a label on it. For a video, the label overlays the video itself. You cant even click through to the video until youve read the label. Then we down rank the video so far fewer people see it. One of the challenges weve seen around recent videos, theres an interesting tension. Mainstream reporting and Traditional Press reporting to videos and linking to them. Large volumes linking to them because its followed in the news. Why not take them down, the controversial ones where youre saying this is partly false, why not just take it down . So there are two types of people who might find video like this. First someone who stumbles across it and second someone who seeks it out. If we put a label on it that blocks the vision of it and down rank it, people dont stumble across it, drastically reduce the volume of people who find it. If someone is hunting for this, they are going to find it anyway. They are going to find it on another site with a label on it. I would rather they find it and see it with a label and context rather than them find it somewhere else without the label and context. Thats a different balance, hard for us. Thats an important balance for us to make sure people dont find the contents but the context its rated false. I guess its a little confusing because you have facebook removing breitbart video saying hydroxychloroquine was a cure for covid19. That was released after millions of views. It may be confusing for people to understand what is the line, what are the rules. Well, pam, weve said i should say weve said that content that is false, that is misinformation about coronavirus, that could lead to direct harm, for example, fake cures, were going to take down. Because the danger of someone seeing that once and relying on that can lead to direct physical harm. When youre talking about a broader range of misinformation, we want people to see it but we also want them to understand that its been determined to be false so that they can make their own judgment and so that label is very clear. All right. Nathaniel, thank you for coming on for this important discussion. We appreciate it. Thank you, pam. Up next, dr. Sanjay gupta with a look at socalled long still suffering 100 days.

Cnn medical correspondent sanjay gupta spoke to long haulers living the nightmare every day. Medical experts are left scratching their head to figure out why. Four months later my stomach is not what it used to be. Ive been treated for covid for 97 days. Im pretty much in the throes of it. They are known as long haulers, diagnosed with covid19 but months later still experiencing symptoms. Everything from blood clots, seizures, tremors. I have a lot of neuropathy. I dont have control of the left side of my face and some issues memory loss. 50yearold Michael Reagan had always been on the go, rock climbing, scuba diving. Just like that, everything changed. When did you feel sick . March 22nd, a sunday, i woke up in the morning. I was unable to catch my breath. I went into the bathroom and coughed up blood. He ended up the same day at lennox hospital in new york city. At the same time it was the epicenter of the u. S. Coronavirus pandemic. I remember seeing stretchers come in withlets of people, people gasping for breath. His symptoms, dire. My Blood Pressure was out of control. It was 200 over 100 something. My heart rate got as high as almost 200 beats a minute. I was gasping for air. Fortunately after five days, he began breathing more easily with the help of medications. He never went on a ventilator, but he spent the next two months in and out of the hospital. Weve realized the patients dont really fall into the black and white sometime some patients are sick and get healthy again. Some patients are sick and then they die. Dr. Chen is medical director of the center for post covid care for mt. Sinai health system, a first of its kind in the country fob using on recovery. For the first several months, doctors have been trying to figure out this disease. Now the longterm effects are also proving equally mysterious. If you have shortness of breath, were looking to see something on cat scan or pulmonary function testing to see theres specific organ damage. The reason we break this down, we need to look at it physically to see what the virus actually does to your organs physically. The cdc estimates 35 of adults are now back to normal two to three weeks after testing positive, still experiencing difficulties breathing, nerve pain, or even memory loss and brain fog. A study of 143 italian patients found that 87 of them reported having at least one lingering effect 60 days after the on set of their first symptom. Is there some way of predicting who is more likely to have these persistent symptoms . I would presume that if you have a preexisting condition that the infection, the virus can worsen that condition. Again, were also seeing patients who were previously healthy but their symptoms have persist the throughout their illness and beyond. Its truly a medical mystery that dr. Chen and Michael Reagan hope is solved. When i was in the throes of fighting covid, i was only focused on breathing. I was scared to go to sleep because i would stop breathing. It wasnt until i was generally doing better that i started noticing a lot of symptoms. I know other people must feel the same. This is frightening, sanjay. There seems to be as im watching this, theres a misconception if youre healthy under the circumstances coronavirus and sick for a week and back to normal. The long haulers proves thats noot the case. Youre not going to know if youre a long hauler or not when you get coronavirus. That was the most striking thing. Even people with minimal symptoms throughout the course of their illness still had these prolonged recovers. I thought it was going to be the sicker, longer recovery, more likely persistent symptoms. That doesnt seem to be the case here. Doctors are baffled by this, pamela. It seems this inflammation, perhaps, is in the body, something that affects organ systems. Could it be changing in the blood as a result of the infection. They dont know. Its still considered a luxury to think about recovery because were still in the throes of it.
