I'LL
I'LL TAKE
I'LL TAKE A FULL LOOK AT THAT FORECAST. WE HAVE SIX HUNDRED NEW POSITIVE COPING 19 CASES
TODAY KEEPING US ON AN UPWARD
TREND HERE IN ARKANSAS. THERE
ARE ALMOST 24000 CASES. A
FOURTH OF THOSE ARE ACTIVELY
FIGHTING THE VIRUS. OF THOSE
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE
ARE IN THE HOSPITAL. THAT'S THE
MOST PEOPLE HOSPITALIZED WE
HAVE SEEN. SO FAR. MEANWHILE,
ONE MORE PERSON HAS DIED MAKING
OUR TOTAL. TWO HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY SEVEN DEATHS HERE IN THE
STATE. AND AS CASES CONTINUE TO
GROW UP HERE IN ARKANSAS AND
AROUND THE COUNTRY, GOVERNOR
HUTCHINSON MADE AN APPEARANCE
ON NBC'S MEET THE PRESS THIS
MORNING. HE WAS ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE LARGE FOURTH OF JULY
CELEBRATIONS THAT TOOK PLACE IN
THE US IN WHICH HE ANSWERED.
THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE
FACE COVERINGS AND SOCIAL
DISTANCING, BUT MODERATOR
ANDREA MITCHELL HAD A
PARTICULAR QUESTION FOR
GOVERNOR HUTCHINSON ABOUT IF
THE PRESIDENT VISITED ARKANSAS.
HOW WOULD HE HANDLE THAT DURING
THE PANDEMIC? TAKE A LISTEN.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THOUGH, IF
THE PRESIDENT WANTED TO COME
AND HOLD A RALLY IN ARKANSAS AS
HE DID IN TULSA INDOORS AND IN
PHENIX, HE HAD A BIG GATHERING
THERE. AND WE'VE SEEN SECRET
SERVICE AGENTS AND OTHER
MEMBERS OF HIS ADVANCE NOW SICK
AND ALSO FROM THE VISE
PRESIDENT'S ADVANCE IN ARIZONA
.WOULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN IN
ARKANSAS THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND WORRYING
MASK IF YOU CAN'T SOCIAL
DISTANCE YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW OUR
GUIDELINES AND THAT'S WHAT WE
WOULD INSIST UPON. IN THE US,
FLORIDA HAS REACHED A GRIM NEW
MILESTONE. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
CONFIRMED CORONAVIRUS CASES.
AMERICA HAS ALMOST THREE
MILLION CASES AND A FORMER FDA
COMMISSIONER SAYS SPREAD MAY
NOW BE TOO HIGH TO BRING IT
UNDER CONTROL. CBS
NEWS CORRESPONDENT TOM HANSEN
REPORTS FROM NEW YORK. THE
MAYOR OF FLORIDA'S MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY SAYS PEOPLE LET THEIR
GUARD DOWN BEFORE CORONAVIRUS
CASES BEGAN TO SURGE IN THE
SUNSHINE STATE. I THINK THAT
THAT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH
PROBABLY SOCIALISING YOUNG KIDS
GOING TO PARTIES MAYBE
GRADUATION PARTIES AT HOMES
BECAUSE IT'S IT'S BEEN PRETTY
LOCKED DOWN HERE FOR FOR SOME
TIME. THE MAYOR WHO SAYS
PROTESTS WERE ALSO A FACTOR
SHUT DOWN COUNTY BEACHES FOR
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND IMPOSED
A NIGHTLY CURFEW. FLORIDA,
HOUSTON, TEXAS, ARIZONA AND LOS
ANGELES COUNTY ARE THE NATION'S
CODED HOTSPOTS WITH CASES
SOARING BY THE THOUSANDS EVERY
DAY. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
REALLY BE ABLE TO CRUSH THIS
VIRUS AT THIS POINT BECAUSE
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH INFECTION
AROUND. WE REALLY DON'T SEEM TO
HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL TO DO
IT. FORMER FDA COMMISSIONER
SCOTT GOTTLIEB SAYS THE U.S. IS
BACK WHERE IT WAS AT THE
PANDEMICS EARLIER PEAK IN THE
SPRING. THE DIFFERENCE NOW IS
THAT WE REALLY HAVE ONE
EPICENTER OF SPREAD WHEN NEW
YORK WAS GOING THROUGH ITS
HARDSHIP. NOW WE REALLY HAVE
FOUR MAJOR EPICENTERS
OF SPREAD. ON MONDAY NEW YORK
CITY WILL ENTER PHASE THREE
OF ITS REOPENING. BUT IN A
REVERSAL THAT WILL NOT INCLUDE
INDOOR DINING IN HIS FOURTH
OF JULY SPEECH, PRESIDENT TRUMP
STIRRED UP A NEW CONTROVERSY
WHEN IT COMES TO THE DANGERS
OF CARBON 19. BUT NOW WE HAVE
TESTED ALMOST 40 MILLION PEOPLE
BY SO DOING WE SHOWCASES NINETY
NINE PERCENT OF WHICH ARE
TOTALLY HARMLESS WHEN ASKED
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S CLAIM.
