>>> BECAUSE THE SPREAD IS SO
RAMPANT RIGHT NOW, THERE IS
NEVER A REASON FOR YOU TO HAVE
TO LEAVE YOUR HOME UNLESS YOU DO
NEED TO GO OUT.
THE SAFEST PLACE FOR YOU IS AT
YOUR HOME.
>> IF WE ARE GO TO COME BACK AS
A STATE ECONOMICALLY, JOBS GO
UP.
WE HAVE TO KEEP THE VIRUS UNDER
SOMEWHAT CONTROL.
>> YESTERDAY WE HAD 16,678
CASES.
SINCE YESTERDAY AN ADDITIONAL
697 CASES.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE WORK TO DO IN
THIS STATE.
>> AS SOME OF OUR PARENTS USED
TO SAY, SURE, NOW.
NOW SOME REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS
ARE SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE
CORONAVIRUS AS THE PRESIDENT
AGGRESSIVELY IGNORE WHAT IS IS
NOW THE SECOND SPIKE OF THE
FIRST WAVE.
DONALD TRUMP DECLARED THE VIRUS
FADING AND DYING DOWN.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
PLANNING TO CUT FUNDING FOR
STATES LIKE TEXAS WHERE THE
NUMBERS ARE SPIKING.
BEWARE REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM
TEXAS HAS TAKEN THE UNUSUAL STEP
OF CRITICIZING THAT AND IT MAY CHANGE.
A CLINICAL PRO PRESSPROFESSOR.
DOCTOR, IF I HAD TOLD YOU THAT
WE WOULD REACH THE NEW RECORD OF
NEW INFECTIONS ON THE EVE OF THE
JULY FOURTH HOLIDAY, IF I TOLD
YOU THAT DURING THE BAD OLD DAYS
IN MARCH AND IN APRIL WOULD YOU
HAVE BELIEVED ME?
SECOND QUESTION, JUST AS A
TAXPAYER, WHERE IS THE CDC WHERE
ARE THE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS
WHO HAVE SEEMED TO FORGOTTEN
THERE IS A PUBLIC OUT HERE
NEEDING INSTRUCTION.
>> THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE IN MY
FIELD THAT ARE VERY WORRIED
ABOUT THE PROMISES THAT IT WOULD
SOMEHOW MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR IN
APRIL.
MOST OF US REALLY THOUGHT WE
WOULD BE WELL, WELL INTO THE
SUMMER OR THE FALL UNTIL WE SAW
RELIEF.
WE ARE HAVING HOPSCOTCHING OF
THE HOT SPOTS. OBVIOUSLY NEW YORK CITY WAS THE
OBVIOUSLY NEW YORK CITY WAS THE
HOT SPOT OF THE WORLD.
NOW IN ARKANSAS AND TEXAS AND SO
ON.
WITH THE SPIKES OCCURRING IN
DIFFERENT PLACES AT DIFFERENT
TIMES.
IT IS EXTRAORDINARY THAT WE ARE
NOT TAKING IT MORE SERIOUSLY.
I SHOULDN’T SAY THAT WE ARE NOT.
PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T HE
SETS A REALLY TERRIBLE EXAMPLE
THAT ALLOWED PEOPLE TO WANDER
AROUND THE STREETS WITHOUT
SUFFICIENT DISTANCING. NOT WEARING A MASK IS A
NOT WEARING A MASK IS A
POLITICAL SYMBOL.
BRIAN.
>> DOCTOR, THERE IS A GRAPHIC
MAKING THE ROUNDS.
YOU AND I SAW IT IN THE SAME
PLACE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
HAS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF BEING
TRUE THAT SHOWS TWO TREND LINES.
ONE BELONGS TO THE EUROPEAN
UNION.
IT HAS BEEN STEADILY DOWN AND IT
IS STAYING THERE.
THE LAST BIT OF MEASUREMENT IS A
FURTHER DOWNWARD TREND.
AS WE ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY THE
U.S. IS NUMBER ONE.
WE LEAD THE WORLD.
OUR TREND LINE IS UP.
WHAT DID THE E.U. DO RIGHT THAT
WE CAN’T SEEM TO DO AND DO YOU
BLAME THEM FOR CONSIDERING
BANNING AMERICANS ON INCOMING
FLIGHTS?
WE ARE GETTING WORSE, THEY ARE
GETTING BETTER.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TWO TREND
LINES, IT IS ASTOUNDING HOW
TERRIBLE THAT WE HAVE DONE IN
CONTROLLING THIS VIRUS.
WE GOT A VERY LATE START IN OUR
TESTING.
AND WE STILL DON’T HAVE THE
NATIONAL CAPACITY TO DO THE TYPE
OF CONTACT TRACING THAT WE
NEEDED TO BE DOING.
AND THEN YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE NOT TO WEAR A
MASK.
WE HAD 16 CASES OF PEOPLE IN A BAR IN JACKSONVILLE.
BAR IN JACKSONVILLE.
I AM HEARTENED TO SEEING PEOPLE
RECOGNIZE THIS.
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IN TULSA
PEOPLE SQUEEZED TOGETHER IN THE
BOTTOM PORTION OF THE ARENA,
NOBODY WEARING MASKS.
