Good evening, we have breaking news tonight.

Twitter has begun putting fact-checking labels on some of the president's tweets.

And Joe Biden has weighed in on the president taking jabs at him for wearing a mask.

We'll have more on that shortly.

We begin with the hardest fact that we know.

Sometimes tonight, or perhaps tomorrow, the current rate, deaths from coronavirus in this

country will reach and surpass 100,000.

One family's tragedy, one spouse's loss, one friend's absence, not ten times.

Or even a thousand times ten.

It is one life lost and everything that means times 100,000.

Yet even as we grapple with that, and we show you the faces of those who died, we want

to focus especially tonight on the notion of this moment as a turning point when things

could go either way.

Looking at the moving average of new cases nationwide over the last two weeks, you can see

it's barely changed, holding steady at about 20,000.

Yet while as that line stays flat, thankfully, states and localities across the country have

been lifting outbreak-related restrictions.

And this holiday weekend, we saw not every place, but in many places, the almost total collapse

of social distancing.

Which is troubling to the experts, including at the World Health Organization, who see

this moment as a potential turn for the worst toward a second peak in a first wave that

is still hitting.
