California alone surpassed 300,000 cases, and West Virginia now has the highest rate of transmission in the country. The virus is spreading faster, person a person in West Virginia right now than any other state in the country. In Florida, it’s the second time reporting more than 11,000 new cases in a single day, the state averaging more than 9000 cases a day, up more than 1200% since the state started reopening in May. Now the World Health Organization is warning. In our current situation, it is very unlikely that we can eradicate or eliminate this wears at the White House. I’m Whitney Wild reporting.
