here's what florida is reporting. 27,000 cases in just the last two days. including more than 15,000 on sunday alone. dr. anthony fauci saying this today. >> here it is. it's happened. you know, your worst nightmare. the perfect storm. it is truly historic. we haven't even begun to see the end of it yet. >> and while dr. fauci continues to level with the american people about the dangerous spread of the coronavirus, the white house is now actively trying to undercut and discredit him. let's discuss now. cnn's white house correspondent desean harwood is here as well as dr. reiner director of the catheterization program at george washington university hospital. gentlemen, good evening. thank you so much. i want to start with this. i want you to take a listen to what we just heard from kennedy of louisiana on fox. >> there are some people who want to keep our schools closed because they think it gives them a political advantage. and they're using our kids as political pawns. and to them, i say unashamedly, they can kiss my ass. that's wrong to do that to the k

of a position as florida. govern kno governor desantis, shutting down restaurants, common sense things, pausing on a fall semester for school reopenings. they need strong measures, katy. they need strong leadership. i don't think school's ready for reopening by the fall. i don't know a single teacher that wants to enter a classroom without the precautions in place. >> why is it that we as a country are not taking this virus and the necessary precautions and steps personally as populations of other country? we are a much larger nation but why aren't we taking it as seriously at people in italy or hong kong are taking it? why are we out here and having a fight about what precautions are necessary, having a fight about whether or not this is a hoax, having a fight about whether or not to believe the top infectious disease expert should be listened to? why are we having such a hard time here? >> if i had the answer to that, katy, my gosh, i would say it right now. here's what i will say. the admiral over the weeke

situation is really concerning here in south florida. >> reporter: florida is now averaging more than 9,000 new cases a day. a staggering jump of more than 1,200% since the state began re-opening two months ago. the president in hard-hit miami-dade county today, the positivity rate there is nearly 30%. >> there seems to be this lack of understanding or awareness that we are in one of the most extraordinary public health crises that our nation has ever faced. rchq the u.s. is shattering new case records almost daily. west virginia now has the highest transmission rate in the country. >> the only bullet in the gun right now is this right here, this little mask. >> reporter: ten states seeing an increase in covid-related deaths in the past week. half of those posting their highest average for new cases since the pandemic began. >> i think the numbers are going to look worse as we go into next week. we need to make sure that there's going to be plenty of hospital beds available in the houston area. >> reporter: it's not just hospital capacity and icu beds. personal protective equipment is

rebekah jones built florida's coronavirus data portal, but she says she was fired by the state of florida on may 18th after refusing to manipulate data to make it seem as if certain florida counties had met the criteria to reopen. she has been tracking the coronavirus data in florida on her own since then, and in a recent article about florida's coronavirus data problem, she wrote "data is only as trusted as its keeper." and joining us now is the keeper of florida data, rebekah jones, the former manager of data and surveillance for covid-19 at the florida department of health. thank you very much for joining us again tonight, rebekah. what is the situation with the state of florida's publicly available data? is it still as flawed, to put it mildly, as it was when you were fired? >> it's much, much worse than it was when i was fired unfortunately. they've dumped antigen tests into the percent positivity but not separated them. they restricted some data. they haven't added anything new, at least not from the department of health, so things unfortunately have only gotten worse. >> so is the

florida, a state trump carried, biden leading, a 14-point lead over trump in florida. the last time a democratic candidate was ahead by double digits, 13 years ago. trump wanted by nine in texas. biden up by a point in texas. big swing there. you see it in michigan. trump won michigan by .3 of one point in 2016. that was the closest of the three midwest states trump was able to flip. now nine points for biden. minnesota, by the way, this was not a trump state in 2016. it's one of the states trump has talked about making a trump state in 2020. it's one of those states where he this feel they can flip from blue to red. last night fox news poll, not a close race in that poll, though. biden leading by 13 points in minnesota. let's show you the road to 270 map. we'll be using this thing a lot in the coming weeks, coming months. this is what the map looked like in 2016. you can see the most direct path is to win back those three midwestern states they had won for decades and trump took in 2016. if biden was able to get pennsylvania, if he was able to get michigan. we don't h

and you would think florida would take a wait and see approach, cases are out of control but florida's republican governor intends to follow the president's lead and committing him schools to reopen without exceptions come next month. and school officials on the ground say that is a very, very bad idea. >> i will not reopen our school system august 24th if the conditions are what they are today. >> joining me now frederick ingram. president of the florida education association. thank you for being with me, welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> we just heard from betsy devos a little bit ago delivering this message to the governors, and i quote, it is not a matter of if schools open, it is a matter of how schools must fully open and must be fully operational. when you hear that, what do you think? >> so, right now it is irresponsible to talk about how -- if schools will reopen in the fall for florida. right now we need to be talking about how we get this virus under control. how do we keep schools and our communities safe. how do we ensure that our teachers and our educational support

and other parts of florida. we look through those trends as well. some are positive. i think the biggest concern in self lord is we work hard to get the medicine, and this is just the beginning of the staff support. we are here to do more as you need to do more, and we understand the challenge. [inaudible question] >> they are mostly private labs. we have three state labs. they have a limited number, may be a day, which is help pull, but with the numbers we are we wanted to get one of those big machines this summer and now they're like, you in february.hine hopefully, we won't need one then. a have a company that is newer company. it's a self swab test. you send it directly to them. they run it and send back a report every day. that is what were looking to do, something like that for the symptomatic drive-through test takers, someone that exudes -- that is exhibiting legitimate symptoms. we want to know if you have it or not. so we can do it and get a quicker turnaround maybe. the problem with the state labs, we

florida has a high elderly population. we are extremely vulnerable with some other places and it is unfortunate. this could have been avoided if we had engaged in more short-term pain. quickly,nally and where is the -- are they shifting their position because they are seeing the consequences? where is the business community? sean: restaurant and bar owners are sick of this. some of them want to open full-time into what they need to do. that is what political leaders want to deal with. that is why you elect governors and senators and presidents because they have to make tough decisions that sometimes are not popular. the science and our experience in the medical community is telling us you have to do certain things to stop this and flatten the curve. politicians come if they do those certain things will take criticism from certain segments of the business community and they will take hits on the political spectrum. that is what leaders do. that is what leadership is. you have to make those tough calls and we are not making

, central florida. we're also working under the tampa bay area, we've dealt with a lot of nursing home outbreaks particularly in pinellas county. while this carrington place is good, we want to see if there are ways we can expand the footprint. this is an important tool to protect residents of long-term care facilities that are the most vulnerable, but also, you know, not needing to say -- if someone is stable or asymptomatic, having a place where they can go if they're not going to infect other people and they can be cared for. i want to thank secretary mayhew for working hard on that. we talk about the new facilities and additional beds for this. and just to show why this is important. so here in manatee county, they've had, i think as of yesterday or as of this morning maybe, 138 covid-related deaths, 91 of them have been related to long-term care facilities. that's 66% of the corona-related fatalities have been linked to long-term care facilities. that's not only just saying 65 and up, but just 65 a

and let's talk about florida. hurricane isaias is barreling toward the state forcing florida to shut down some covid testing sites. this comes as the state, again, added more than 9,000 new cases in the span of a day. it is also breaking its daily death toll record for a fourth consecutive day. president trump is scheduled to land in florida this hour. he's holding a couple of campaign events in addition to talking -- taking part in a round table on covid and storm preps. so let's start with randi kaye live in palm beach county, florida. beautiful day so far. we know how quickly all of that could change. how are people in florida preparing for a hurricane in the midst of this pandemic? >> reporter: they are bracing themselves, brooke. because they're still watching the numbers from the coronavirus, another 257 dead here in the state of florida, that is more than 6,800 floridians so far and 8,400 are still hospitalized. but they are preparing, of course. they've taken down the -- a lot of the state-run testing site

joining me now florida congressman matt gaetz. congressman, florida is one of the hot spots. what is the governor there? what is the federal government going to do about it? >> in florida we have captured a great deal of the coronavirus through world class testing. we're testing nearly 100,000 people a day. we've learned in florida that young people who do not fear the virus are very unlikely to alter their behavior as a consequence, and so we're seeing a great deal of asymptomatic spread, and as we find more cases, the average age continues to drop. that's because we've gone on offense in assisted living facilities and in nursing homes, but where you've got young people getting together, whether it's the black lives matter protests or in house parties or with one another in a variety of circumstances, you see that spread not causing an increase in the death rate. i think we can also suggest that these medical innovations that we've experienced that the federal government has really led have helped reduce that death rate, whether it's the hydroxychloroquine that the "wall str

at the university of florida. thanks a much for being with us. nias calif reclose is, should florida think aut doing the same, given the explosion of cases there? >> that has happened in certain areas of florida where we have had more cases. i don't know necessarily that we have to do that across the state, but we need to look at wherwe are having high levels n cases and think about whether certain activitid to be curbed. laura: are you surprised that the outbreak has gotten so bad here in the united states? >> i am, in a way, only because i think we were at point where we thought we were in very good control of the outbreak,end where peo were complying with what we need to do to prevent those cases. i think what was a surprise to me was that as we came into these reopening's, it just fel like b people were tired ng at home and went back to their activities without a thought for long term infection control measures. laura: as a public health official, do you feelndermined by politicians who don't want people to we

and other parts of florida. we look through those trends as well in summer positive and i think her busy entered biggest concern is south florida so we worked hard to get the medicine and this is just the beginning of the staff support, were here to do more as you need to do more and we understand the challenge. [inaudible question] >> we are mostly private labs, we have three state labs, they do a limited number, they are doing about a thousand today which is helpful after the 24 hour turnaround but with the numbers we are looking at, we had set up to have one of the big machines like carlos tried to get one here, we wanted to get them this summer and now they're like you can get a machine and february, we will need as much in february hopefully. it is really working with private labs. what we did with the long-term care is we have a company, it's a newer company and it's a self swab test, you send it directly to them, they run it and send it back and report every day, that is what were looking to do, something

in florida. to have a big convention it's not the right time. it's really something that for me i have to protect the american people. okay, but doctor, he's still pushing to reopen schools. how do you square that? >> well, you can't. and this is the same president who at the end of june despite record daily cases in places like tulsa and phoenix thought that having rallies with thousands of people was a good idea. but, look, don, there was no way this convention was going to happen. florida has become the epicenter of the pandemic on the planet, and even under the best possible circumstances where finally the virus starts to ebb in florida and things get better over the next few weeks there would be no way to bring tens of thousands to people to florida and then risk reigniting the virus back in florida. so it was destined to be canceled. i think people finally just got to the president and convinced him of that. >> it's interesting how he and the governor ron desantis were bragging about how re

"the new york times" reports the team had not invited him. they write, "mr. trump had been so annoyed by dr. fauci's turn in the limelight, an official familiar with his reaction said, that he had directed his aides to call yankees officials and make good on a longtime standing offer from mr. levine to throw out an opening pitch. no date was ever finalized." dr. fauci threw out the opening pitch at the season opener and is now getting more attention for that, let's just say, less-than-

one.7million were in florida alone. 40 percent of black men in florida could not vote because of a felony conviction. over 20 percent of african-americans of on - - in general cannot vote in florida because of a felony conviction. florida would count their head for the census in order to get representation in congress but these are folks who could not vote so go back to the three fifths clause this is what they are operating under in the 21st century. florida implemented as i mentioned before the felony disenfranchisement law one year after congress passed the reconstruction lot of 1867 saying black men can fill and florida said not today. and in the felony disenfranchisement law allows for either targeted at african-americans were only applied toward african-americans so it would criminalize blackness not that they were criminals but it criminalize blackness and then put them into the criminal justice system with the added bonus that system happening in the added bonus stripping them of their voting rights. going over 100 years or 150 years then you get the mass mobilization happening in

the situation is growing increasingly desperate in hospitals in florida now the state hit worst by the pandemic we'll hear from our correspondent in miami also coming up. european leaders seek common ground at a make or break summit in brussels they want to negotiate a 750000000000 year old package to help you economies recover from the coronavirus endemic with divisions one g. . and this table is where the cold war began and you look at the legacy of the potsdam conference 75 years later. i'm aaron chilton welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump says he will not mandate face coverings nationwide to slow the spread of the coronavirus saying the public should be free to decide whether to wear them he made the comments to fox news as the country recorded more than 70000 new infections for a 2nd consecutive day. florida is now the national epicenter of cope with 19 on friday the sunshine state recorded more than 11000 new cases for the public and gov run the center's who's facing criticism for its handling of the pandemic has blamed the high numbers on increased testing in the

the good news that cases are peaking in florida and texas and florida, somewhat in arizona, that's actually bringing their numbers down a bit, but we're seeing numbers going up faster in the midwest and that's driving up our numbers. places like georgia, north carolina, are going up faster than expected. >> very interesting. i want to get back to that. but, sanjay, something else that's just coming in -- it's hard to believe -- but there's a new study out there. i want you to explain to us. it finds that people who never had the virus may actually have some immunity. how is that possible? >> it's really fascinating. they were looking at people who recovered from covid, coronavirus, looking at their blood to try to find the antibodies and they wanted to find those who had never been exposed. they went back in time and found blood samples as far back as 2015. in an interesting study, half of those previously never exposed blood samples had what is known as t cell reactivity. whereas parents recently exposed had it. why would someone have t cell reactivity if they were never exposed to the vir

florida, same, 52%. even in michigan where he's down 12 points to joe biden, here on the economy, he's only down underwater by two points in terms of approval/disapproval. the economy is where we'll see the president to continue to sort of lean into, but it is all things coronavirus that's defining this election, guys. look at his approval on the handling of the virus in these states. it is substantially lower than even his overall approval. in arizona, 35% approval of his handling of the virus. 3% in florida. 36% in michigan. and this is the issue of the election. this is why, these numbers show you why he's down in all three of these states and why his path to re-election is so difficult at the moment. >> tell us how he's doing with women. >> women not a good group overrule f overall for donald trump, but he won white women in 2016 nationally against hillary clinton. but look at white women and you can see where these contests are where they are. in arizona, biden is winning white women 50% to 46%. in

, he does think the president's coronavirus response has hurt florida families. president trump has a new warning about what he sees as the oversized influence of progressive biden advisors. >> i think they brainwashed him. they brainwashed him, he doesn't know where he is, he doesn't know what he's doing. >> biden was here in scranton for a factory tour, speech and drive through his old iraq old neighborhood and that drive-through brought a lot of the neighbors out which brought joe biden is close to people who had not been screened for covid-19's as he ever has been since all this began. dana? >> dana: good to see you out and about, thank you. at that roundtable, the president with new attacks against biden's economic agenda. this just in, take a listen. >> socialism plus in america, biden is a puppet of bernie sanders, aoc, the militant left, the people that want to rip down statues and monuments to george washington, thomas jefferson, benjamin franklin. , okay? , they want to rip down statues to. so we are dealing with the people that will not win. they will

so, there was a lot of thinking that florida would escape the worst of it, but somehow, here in florida, things went terribly wrong. on april 1st, florida governor ron desantis issued a stay-at-home order, hoping to contain the coronavirus. weeks later, while visiting the white house, the governor took a victory lap for how he managed things back home. >> everyone in the media was saying florida was going to be like new york or italy, and that has not happened. we had a tailored and measured approach that not only helped our numbers be way below what anyone predicted but also did less damage to our state going forward. >> reporter: that turned out not to be the case at all. trouble started in early may when desantis rushed to reopen before many other states. restaurants, gyms, barbershops and beaches were first to reopen in most parts of the state. after memorial day, the virus was starting to rage. by july 1st, there were more than 9,000 new cases reported in one day statewide. and recently, new daily cases topped 11,000. but if you listen to desantis, there's a disconnect. >> i think

and that would be florida. today, florida reported a record-breaking 132 deaths in just one day, highest single-day total in the state since the beginning of this pandemic. and with miami emerging as the next epicenter, republican governor desantis has come under increasing pressure after months of down playing the severity. >> we welcome to the broadcast five-term u.s. democratic congressman tom deutche of florida. congressman, first, how are you and how is your district? >> well, i'm doing again. we're doing fine. we can't really complain because we're able to try to stay out of the midst of this, even as we try to fight it. but for the people who have no choice but to go to work in this environment, for the people who are mourning 132 families, mourning the loss of their loved ones to this terrible virus the 80 people per day on average who are dying over the past week it's terrible. and we need leadership. we need positive direction and the governor keeps giving us excuses and excuses. he refuses to do what

florida is a state, there's no path without florida. he's not re-elected if he doesn't win florida. that's why canceling the convention was so deadly to the president. there's surges of cases in the state he had to, and a number of republican senators had said they wouldn't attend, they were having trouble raising money, getting guests committing to stay for a few days. the last thing the president wanted was to appear in a minor league ballpark and only have a handful of people there. they're not going to bean in cardboard cutouts like we saw last night in the baseball games, it was tough to see mookie in a dodger uniform -- but the campaign is running out of events to change the momentum. there's no longer a convention. it'll be a speech some virtual events. he can't have a campaign rally. no discussions of having rallies. they are under water. we have seen an effort in the briefing room this week to try to stick to his talking points. it's not a new tone, we've seep the tweets. but right now they are in trouble and they know they're running out of time. >> he kept talking about t

right northern part of florida northern part of florida might as well be what is true as they call south florida alabama mississippi it's very easy to go to it's easy to go from tallahassee to alabama that is. by any. state capital is to mississippi so it's not quite you know there's not a lot of bleed over there. so that's a significant circle or it could be a base of the midwest and then northeast same thing you guys you know you go 5 hours hit 3 states here if you look united states that say they the keys in the name is david mayo from the miami herald thank you so much for joining us we do appreciate it thank you very much for having me. for torie and i'll south africa where the president is announcing you locked on restrictions a spike of cases there as well $50.00 and that's before the end of this year we must make it our single most important task to prove these projections wrong through our own actions s. individuals as families as communities we cab and we must change the cause of this pandemic in our country we buy a novel or familia with what we need to do to protect ourselves

as tim russert said, florida, florida, florida, can't win without florida. and according to the cbs news yougov poll, donald trump is losing in florida. his response to the pandemic really seems to be playing out here in these polls. it might be good for the president politically to step up on fighting the pandemic. still ahead on "morning joe," she's a retired marine, who flew 89 combat missions as a fighter pilot. now amy mcgrath is on a new mission trying to unseat senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, the kentucky democrat joins us next. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. g "morning " we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ the open road is open again. and wherever you're headed, choice hotels is there. book direct at choicehotels.com. ♪ - sir. - you're talking about a first [runnigeneration americanren] from the streets of the imperial valley who rose to beat the odds. she worked nights and weekends till she earned herself a master's degree. she was running in a marathon when a man behind her collapsed from cardiac arrest. and using her e

, central florida. we're also working under the tampa bay area. they've dealt with a lot of nursing home outbreaks particularly in pinellas county, that's been a concern. while carrington place is good we want to see if there's ways we can expand the footprint but this is an important tool to protect residents of long-term care facilities who are the most vulnerable but also, you know, not needing to -- if someone is stable or is symptomatic having a place to go where they're not going to infect other people and can be cared for. so i want to thank the secretary for working hard on that and talk about the new nationfacili and additional beds for this. just to show why this is important, so here in manatee county, they've had i think as of yesterday or as of this morning maybe 138 covid-related deaths, 91 of them have been related to long-term care facilities. so that's 66% of the corona-related fatalities have been linked to long-term care facilities. so that's not only just saying 65 and up but just 65

what florida law allowed at that point, and was florida unique and not having a signed a defendant? >> florida law at the time only allowed for the appointment -- principally capital cases or death penalty cases. they were not alone at that time and not providing council to defendants but they were in the minority at that point. the trend of history was clearly going against them. i'm not sure about the precise number about -- but i think you are down to about a dozen jurisdictions that did not provide counsel and all cases to poor defendants. >> it was even more dramatic than that. one, the judges trying to help gideon out a little bit. it is very difficult to be a coach and the empire umpire. some folks who say gee, the constitution is and say appointed counsel -- it is true, and at the founding actually of the framers only provided for council in death penalty cases, but in other cases the judge was actually supposed to help the defendant, but as time went on, it became clear that you cannot play these two roles. one argument for the rightness of the case is just, judges cannot b

you talk about florida. there is a county there in determining this week the masks that are now mandatory for employees inside certain businesses, the county commissioners were stopping short of mandating all of the public wear them but take a listen to some of the initial outrage they heard from the public last week about even the prospect of it. >> i have the ability to do what i want when i want how i want. this is our country. not your country. >> we have been lied to. our freedoms are being taken and i will not be muzzled like a mad dog. >> those that are pushing other people to wear a mask i'll perceive you wearing a mask as a baby with a blanket or your pacifier or your teddy bear. if that's what makes you comfortable then by all means do it. don't push your ideology over to me as an employer or employees or onto the citizens, let the people use their own intelligence. >> what's your reaction to that, danielle? why do you think such a culture war has erupted over masks? why is it so partisan when this

states like arizona, nevada and florida are among the highest. today new york city entered phase four as the state reported just eight covid related deaths. but concerns are rising over scenes like this one outside a bar in queens. >> what they're doing is stupid. and reckless. and it has to stop. >> reporter: dr. pastewski knows firsthand the risk. he is a covid survivor himself and he has a blunt warning. >> we just start having trucks full of dead people or we're going to get smart and we're going to do what we can as americans to keep our parents and our grandparents alive. >> reporter: today is the 12th day since the fourth of july that florida has reported more than 10,000 new cases. there are new curfews in effect in parts of south florida tonight as well as fines for violating mask orders. and the bahamas has decided to close its borderers to visitors from covid hot spots including the united states. norah? >> o'donnell: manny bojorquez, thank you. tonight the mystery deepens over why the first hispanic u.s. district court judge in new je

schools start next month in florida. they have several weeks to see how this goes and possibly change their minds or come up with some kind of a combination of in school and online early. something that might help mitigate having all of those children in one place. >> yeah. all right. elizabeth, if you could stand by for me. among the new announcements out of florida the state requires the schools there to reopen for in-person classes this fall. i want to talk more with alberto carvallo as the superintendent of schools. i think we can all agree in-person learning is best for the kids. it's best for parents certainly trying to get back to work. but that order seems to entirely ignore how much worse the cases have gotten in your state. is you district ready to go back to school as usual? number one, thank you very much for the opportunity. our district is ready to go back as long as the options that we have put before our parents, our community, the surveys with parents and teachers are honored. i believe they will. look.

under florida law, chapter 60 statute passed back in 1917, a citizen of the state of florida and the county can bring a cause of action to enjoin a public nuisance which is something that will injure the public and clearly will injure the public. >> so what you are asking for just to explain this to us, you are asking for attendees or convention organizers to follow cdc guidelines. walk us through what all you're asking for. >> that is correct. obviously it is foolish to have any convention, republican, democratic, tupperware in the midst of a pandemic. but the convention is coming. there will be a convention here and what we are asking is that the rules be followed set down by the cdc and recognized worldwide to greatly minimize the risk of harm which is one best not to have it indoors, two, if you have it outdoors that people be distanced at least six feet apart and that they wear mask. the jaguars just released today that they are returning tickets and only play before a 25% capacity crowd which will be required to wear mask and must occur with this convention. >> okay. in effect,

consider this florida is just one of 50 states in the united states so that's a pretty big share there has been a suggestion that large numbers by themselves they don't really matter the president for example he said the numbers are only going up because more people are being tested florida's governor he also minimise the reason for alarm stressing that those that are being infected right now are just young people and young people tend to not need hospital care. half the cases are in their early thirties or below and in then of the ones that are over that there's a huge bulk of them in their late thirty's and in their forty's so it's been a real significant shift in terms of who's testing who's testing positive and who's testing positive at the higher rates the governor he goes on to explain that the increased numbers of young people will not have a his word clinical result it will not have a clinical result in other words that it won't result in more deaths and more hospitalizations because it's just young people and they don't get that sec ok he made that statement on that the 19th o

florida has not been able to get its arms around this. give us a status report of what's happening there and why it's still so bad. >> first, i would say, good morning to you. and florida is a relatively large state, you know, with the third most populous state now within the union, only behind california and texas. but we have different experiences throughout the state of florida, and what i can tell you here in central florida, in the metropolitan orlando area where i am located, we have seen a deceleration of the spread of the virus here within our community. within the last 24 hours, the last number i have seen indicated that we had about a 6.9% day-over-day positivity rate. to put that in perspective, here within the metro atlanta area and orange county, we now have about 27,000 cases of positive covid-19 situations, but within miami, for example, that is nearly 105,000. they've had about 1,400 deaths. whereas here within orange county, we've had 173 deaths. so what we're seeing here is a flattening of the new cases here within our c

the crisis is pummeling florida and california right now. they both set records for the number of deaths in a single day. as we wait to hear from the president, let's get more on the breaking pandemic news, and nick is joining us from l.a. the numbers in much of california right now are moving very much in the wrong direction. >> reporter: they are, wolf. 157 people died in this state in just a 24-hour period, and that is an all-time high. we also now have had two days of more than 12,000 new cases reported. you know, right now across the south the average daily death toll from this virus is higher than it ever has been. 173 people reported dead today in florida. an all-time high for that state. >> one person is getting exposed or sick and they are infecting every single member of their household. >> today we passed 4 million confirmed covid-19 cases across this country. now, getting to the first million cases took 99 days. the next million took 43 days. the next, 28. and getting from 3 million to 4 million, just 15 days. >> there's no end i

it's the fact people come to florida to use our beaches and the way the governor of florida is not exercised proper discretion in managing our state as a whole, that has caused, in my opinion, florida to become a new epicenter. unfortunately when i started the work in march, i had a bad belief this is going to get really bad. we're now leading cases and florida is a higher percentage than any other state. miami-dade is having trouble with their hospitalizations. where i live cases are going up and up and up. we don't have a comprehensive state plan to deal with this. because the governor has decided to defer to and i believe those decisions need to be made statewide and our governor for one, like the governor of texas, he issued a mask order. so that masks work. and i was in south florida two weeks ago, people were wearing masks. i was in jacksonville. but what is happening is the governors, ron desantis is making people on a local level make the decisions. >> daniel, thank you so much. daniel, we appreciate it. we know you have gotten some pushback as you could imagine when some people are
