California shatters record with more than 11,000 cases in one day. More than 301,000 cases have been reported in the new pandemic epicenter in Florida. Oklahoma governor tests positive as state reports record number of new cases. Washington state extends its freeze on reopenings. Trump talks infrastructure in Georgia as pandemic rages. The United States sets another one-day case record as virus rages. A key model now projects 224,000 United States deaths by November. Covid hospital data will be sent to Trump administration instead of CDC. A White House trade adviser, with no health experience, says that the United States cannot trust the advice that Fauci gives. Fauci fires back at attack by Trump adviser and says, "I can't explain Peter Navarro. He's in a world by himself." A White House official says that Navarro violated instructions to de-escalate with Fauci. Fauci calls the White House's efforts to discredit him "bizarre" and says "I just want to do my job... and I'm going to keep doing it." He also suggests a reset on coronavirus response and says, "let's stop this nonsense."
