Thank you very much, Anderson. Appreciate it. We'll be taking up that topic tonight as well.

I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Prime Time. Another week begins without America having a top-down

plan to fight a pandemic. Remember that. That is our biggest problem right now. And Trump is to blame.

Period. Cases are soaring. Too many places are still not doing what we must. Tests are not easy
