Summary

President Trump is getting ready to hit the campaign trail for his first rally since the coronavirus shut down most of the country. That rally will be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma where social distancing is unlikely and face masks are optional. With Oklahoma’s cases rising, many fear how the rally could potentially spread the virus. A key model often used by the White House is now projecting the United States will have more than 200,000 coronavirus-related deaths by October. Dr. Chris Murray is the director of the group at the University of Washington that’s been working on these models. He joins AC360 to explain why the new modeling suggests so many more deaths. Plus, the President signed an executive order on police reform that includes a national database of police officers with a history of excessive force. A day earlier, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced police reforms for her city following the killing of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police. She tells Anderson Cooper the national database is an important step but there’s much more to be done.
