Summary

Trump repeatedly claims that the coronavirus will "go away" as Dr. Fauci says that "the numbers don't lie." Fauci says that the number of infections and deaths is "quite concerning." The United States coronavirus cases top 4.8 million and the coronavirus death toll surpasses 157,000. The United States hits near record high in daily coronavirus deaths since May. Trump falsely says that kids are "almost immune" from coronavirus. Multiple cases of coronavirus is reported in one Georgia school district just two days after school opened. Infectious disease experts urge a United States nationwide mask mandate and says the White House staff should wear masks "to serve as role models." 205,000 people are expected at an annual biker rally in South Dakota, the largest public event in the United States since the pandemic began. Trump's chief of staff says that stimulus talks are "trillions of dollars apart." 167,000 private sector jobs were added in July, which is nearly 10 times less than experts expected. Dr. Fauci says that he and his family have received death threats. Two dozen Yale researchers said spending more time and focusing on Hydroxychloroquine wastes resources and may cost lives. Republican operatives with Trump ties are helping Kanye West get his name on ballots. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
