3:02 am
relief bill to the house in the next two to three weeks. the federal unemployment benefits, however, expired this past week. some hopeful news. the first phase 3 trial of a coronavirus vaccine in the united states will start tomorrow. 30,000 volunteers are expected to take part in the study at 87 locations across the country. >> we've got all the angles covered. we'll start with new york to look at the numbers across the country. some numbers surging, some dropping. >> the real focus, victor, is not the areas plateauing, but the areas spiking with thousands of more cases yesterday. american medical experts are urging political leaders to shut down the united states to contain this pandemic. this as we surpass well over 4 million cases now. >> florida on saturday became the u.s. state with the second highest official coronavirus case count passing new york, once the epicenter early on in

the pandemic. the number of people being hospitalized in florida up a staggering 79% since the july 4th holiday. nearly half of the covid-19 death are linked to long-term care facilities. at least 50 florida hospitals saturday reached icu capacity. >> every day, miami-dade county right now, about 200 people go into our hospitals because they're too sick. 20 to 30 of them will likely die. a good portion of them will end up two weeks on -- in icu and another portion on ventilators and survive. >> despite that and surgeon case numbers, there's a push to reopen bars in florida. we're also learning heartbreaking details about the youngest detail who was just nine years old when she died last week. florida now tops new york in cases. texas now sits close behind new york with more than 380,000 cases of the coronavirus. texas saturday afternoon reported more than 8100 new
3:04 am
cases and 168 deaths. >> we have reported 386 people who died in the city. not the county, but in the city of houston. 151 of those deaths came just in the month of july. we have had more people to die in july than march, april, may, june combined. >> leading the nation now in confirmed cases of covid-19, california. and friday, 159 people died of the coronavirus in california. the most deaths there in a single day. arizona hits the second highest daily death toll on saturday. they face a cutoff in critically needed unemployment benefits as congress fights over the relief. that could cause pain for many people in arizona and other states. >> we're all about making sure the working class are taken care of. we're not going to stick to

3:06 am
continues before the week has started. there were close to 70,000 people tested, victor and abby, according to governor cuomo, 646 tested positive. 1% positivity rate here in new york city. the concern here is that it could rise with more traveling in from some of those hotspot states and that's why the travel restrictions for dozens states are still in place. the travel advisory, traveling to those states to quarantine for a couple of weeks. of course, the challenge is enforcing that. >> absolutely. polo sandoval in new york. thank you. he talked about schools there and the debate over reopening them. let go to georgia's large it's school district where some parents, some students are demanding the option of in-person classes in the fall. there was a protest, kid over covid. >> cnn's natasha chen has a closer look at the concerns on both side of this contentious
3:07 am
issue. >> that's our future. >> during a typical summer break, children aren't usually demanding to go to class. in the mid-of a pandemic, these parent and students are protesting the largest school district change heart on reopening. going all virtual instead of offering some in class options. >> the rug is pulled out from underneath us all and we're scrambling. >> she said she understands the health risks and understands parents who wish to keep their kids at home. she and her husband also need to leave home for work causing a potential child care issue. >> the airlines are open, corporate america is opening up. what have you. we have parents feel like, we got left in the dust and you all just figure it out.
3:08 am
>> kids over covid. >> look, they can protest. and that's their right. however, there's no science behind it. even if they decide to keep their kids -- make them go face to face, that's on them. i can't back that at all. >> she runs an unofficial facebook brook for fulton county schools. she says the argument whether masks should be required and the argument for in school versus virtual, she says it should be about the science. >> what i can tell you, whether children under 10 in the united states don't spread the viruses the same as children over ten. i think that's still an open question that needs to be studied in the united states. we certainly know from other studies that children under ten do get infected. it's just unclear how rapidly they spread the virus. >> the overall data in georgia
3:09 am
shows a staggering rise of cases. the highest in red states. in cobb county, the virus is spreading a gres sieving. >> we're in that high spread -- we as an organization cannot add to the transmission rate increasing. >> parents opinions vary by zip code and if they can afford child care or private tutoring. 43% of gwinnett county parents want all in classroom learn and over half of them would be uncomfortable with that. in the urban core, parents in the south and west -- were likely to prefer virtual learning. it's a preference often based on personal experience. >> i have tended to covid-related funerals recently. it's happening. even if it's not happening to you, it's happening. it's terrifying.

3:11 am
until july 31st. republicans and the white house have been going back and forth about how they ix tend that. they want to move to a system that replaces specifically the wages of workers losing up to 70% and not just a one size fits all payment. take a listen. >> we're not going to use taxpayer money to pay people more to stay home. we're going to transition to a ui system based upon wanl -- we've talked about 70% wanl replacement and we're going through the mechanics of that. >> initially, senate republicans wanted to unveil this on thursday. now an aide said that will be monday at the earliest. this is just the opening offer. the hard part will be when they take it to the democrats to get
3:12 am
to a bipartisan agreement that could pass the house and the senate. democrats have said they want something in the neighborhood of -- republicans are looking at something closer to $1 trillion. they're far apart. that means congress is a long way away, relatively speaking from passing a stimulus bill if there are disagreements just among republicans right now. >> go ahead, abby. i apologize. >> sarah, thank you for that. it's also notable, saturday is august 1st. rent is due. while they wait a couple of weeks, the country is waiting for leadership on that issue. let's take you to seattle now where at least 45 people were arrested yesterday after demonstrations turned violent. >> yeah. so there were about 1 thousand people who showed up to support protesters in portland. police say the people here threw glen oaks and bottles fanned --

3:21 am
your coast and the ongoing coronavirus situation? >> well, i guess the good news is we did not have to evacuate, which would have been a nightmare in trying to deal with evacuating the people with covid because of icu kins and all of that. we're very grateful that everything got to stay in place. we did urge people if they did have to move to higher ground, did with family members in anticipation the storm, they make sure they take masks and even wear them while in the house if they had a crowded condition where two families were going together to ride out the storm. i think we're pretty good. a lot of the city lost power. a lot of hospitals have backup generators. to my nonl, we didn't have a significant amount of damage and
3:22 am
emergencies, i don't know that we had any additional demand to deal with hurricane victims that could continue to focus on the people with the normal hospital patients and the people with covid. that was the good news as far as hospitals go. we did close down obviously our testing facilities and probably won't start those back up until, i think they rescheduled them originally for tuesday. i think probably today when the sun comes up and we do an assessment of where we are following the storm, once the sun comes out, if it's not too bad, they can get their people back together, they may start them back on monday. but right now, they're going to resume testing on tuesday. that's the plan. we're just kind of waiting and see. it's 5:15, 5:30 here. we haven't had a chance to assessment damage ear than what
