With me is a reporter with the new york times. Lets do the timeline. Paul manafort joins the campaign he isngle delegates and out in august. All of this has to do with the campaign and this indictment has to do with his work in the ukraine. Why is this relevant .

We had recently hovered around 20,000, maybe 25,000 new cases each day. Twice in the last few days, though, we have topped 30,000 new cases in a day. Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm now says that we should stop thinking of this thing in terms of a first wave and a second wave because if were just going to keep burning through 20,000, 25,000, 30,000 new infections a day, then this is less like some succession of distinct waves, and he says its more like just a forest fire, just something t

That is a record increase, around 84 of the icu beds in the state are now occupied. In texas, that state just hit an alltime high in new coronavirus cases as well. More than 5,500 in a single day. Even more concerning, hospitalizations have broken records for a second week in a row. We have our team of reporters standing by in both of these states.
