Summary

As Covid-19 cases continue to rise throughout the South and Southwest of the U.S., White House Task Force Member Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested the country might need to “reset.” At least 27 states have paused or rolled back their re-openings as the U.S. recently saw the highest daily number of cases, 67,417. William Haseltine, Chair and President of ACCESS Health International, tells Anderson Cooper we are in a very dangerous situation and desperately need guidance. Plus, the Moderna coronavirus vaccine is showing “promising” safety and immune response results. Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s Chief Medical Officer, joins AC360 to give an update on the trial and thinks the chances of this vaccine working are “pretty good.” Airdate: July 15, 2020 To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:31.1	This is our wartime president today.
0:34.4	And while there's plenty more that could be said about the idiotic way it came to be,
0:39.2	the pettiness behind it or the political calculations if any that went into it, the truth is any attempt
0:44.9	to explain or contextualize this grotesque photo only adds the insult.
