WEEKEND.
U.S. SURGEON
GENERAL. %
>> IN THE
BEGINNING, %
NURSING HOMES %
WERE HIT HARD. %
AND THE MAJORITY
OF OUR DEATHS %
WERE OCCURRING
IN PEOPLE WHO %
WERE 60, 65 AND
OLDER. %
BUT NOW, THE
MAJORITY CASES %
ARE IN PEOPLE
WHO HAVE AN %
AVERAGE AGE OF %
35. %
THOSE FOLKS WILL
HAVE LESS %
COMORBIDITIES. %
AND LETLESS
LIKELY TO DIE. %
>> ALSO TODAY,
HOWEVER, FORMER %
COMMISSIONER
SCOTT GOTTLIEB %
HAD A DIFFERENT
INTERPRETATION %
ABOUT RISING %
INFECTIONS. %
>> IS REALLY AN %
EPIDEMIC. %
WE DON’T HAVE %
CONTROL OF IT. %
AND IT’S %
CONTINUING TO %
BUILD. %
WE’LL SEE CASE %
COUNTS CONTINUE %
TO GO UP, AT %
LEAST FOR A %
COUPLE OF WEEKS. %
WE’LL SEE
HOSPITALIZATIONS %
GO UP. %
AND I THINK %
WE’LL ALSO SEE
THE NUMBER OF %
DEATHS START TO %
RISE AGAIN.
>> MEANWHILE,
THE SUPREME %
COURT VOTES TO %
BLOCK.
FORMER ATTORNEY
GENERAL JEFF %
SESSIONS AGAINST
THE AUBURN %
FOOTBALL COACH. %
A DISTRICT JUDGE %
PREVIOUSLY RULED
IN FAVOR. %
BUT TODAY’S %
ORDER WILL
REMAIN IN EFFECT %
UNTIL APPEALS %
MOVE FORWARD.
>>> NOW, FROM
NBC, SCIENTISTS %
ARE WARNING OF
HIGHER THAN %
USUAL
TEMPERATURES
THIS HOLIDAY %
WEEKEND. %
THE FIRST MAJOR %
HEAT WAVE OF THE %
SEASON. %
EXPERTS WILL SAY
THIS WILL IMPACT %
LARGE PARTS OF
THE U.S., FROM %
EASTERN NEW %
MEXICO AND %
COLORADO AND
INTO THE %
NORTHEAST.
THEY’RE ALSO
RAISING CONCERNS %
ABOUT THE
COMBINED EFFECTS %
OF THE PANDEMIC,
WITH GRUELING %
TEMPERATURES
THAT COULD POSE %
SERIOUS HEALTH
RISKS. %
>>> AND LASTLY, %
WASHINGTON’S NFL %
TEAM IS
CONDUCTING A %
REVIEW. %
THE TEAM HAS
RECEIVED
MOUNTING %
PRESSURE FROM
SPONSORS. %
FEDEX WHO OWNS %
THE NAMING %
RIGHTS TO WHERE
THE TEAM PLAYS, %
IDEA A NAME %
CHANGE %
YESTERDAY. %
AND COMMISSIONER
ROGER GOODELL %
SAID THE LEAGUE
WAS, QUOTE, %
SUPPORTIVE OF
THIS IMPORTANT %
STEP. %
AND THAT WRAPS
UP OUR HEADLINES %
FOR THIS HOUR. %
WE’LL BE BACK A
LITTLE LATER %
WITH MORE BEFORE
THIS WEEKEND, %
ALISON? %

NBC NEWS
REPORTER VAUGHN %
HILLIARD,
JOINING ME FROM %
SCOTTSDALE, %
ARIZONA.
AND WHAT

TOUGH PART OF %
THIS, ALISSON. %
WE’RE IN JULY

THE COVID %

CURRENTLY %
SWEEPING THROUGH %
ARIZONA. %
AND THERE IS NO %
SIGN THAT IT’S %
GOING TO LET UP
OVER THE MONTHS %

INTO 2021. %
THAT’S WHERE
YOU’RE HEARING %

WHAT DOES THAT %
MEAN? %
YES. %
WHO IS FIGHTING %
IT?
WELL, THE GYMS %

ORDERS. %
ONE OF THOSE
BUSINESSES THAT %

BASED GYM. %
AT MORE THAN A %
DOZEN LOCATIONS %

INTENTION TO %
BACKING DOWN TO

ORDER. %
TAKE A LISTEN.

GOVERNOR. %
I HAVE PARTNERS %
IN THE HEALTH %
CLUB INDUSTRY %

CLOSE %
EVERYTHING.
