The poll also says that 56 percent of people would try to get a coronavirus vaccine. This number is down from 66 percent in May. Fauci says that "until you prove it's safe and effective, you really don't want to be talking about having a vaccine." Coronavirus cases have been confirmed at colleges in at least eight states. White House testing Czar says that coronavirus cases could "turn around very quickly if we're not careful." The New York Times says that the FDA has paused emergency authorization for treatment using blood plasma.  Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton headline tonight's Democratic National Convention.  Trump says "if you can protest in person, you can vote in person" as campaign video shows him filling out an absentee ballot. Trump is fuming over his postmaster general who will testify as GOP kicks off convention next week.
