- Well, millions of Americans are expected

to travel this holiday weekend.

- And that's why one of the top docks

on the White House Coronavirus Task Force

is urging Americans to exercise caution.

CVN News Reporter Mark Martin joins us.

Now, Mark, the goal here is

to avoid another coronavirus resurgence.

- That's right, John and Jenna.

Currently, the CDC reports

there are more than 6 millionCOVID-19 cases in the U.S.

and more than 185,000 deaths.

The Director of the National Institute

of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,

Dr. Anthony Fauci doesn'twanna see an increase in cases

because of large gatheringsthis holiday weekend.

Meanwhile, the talk continues

over when a vaccine might be ready.

- [Correspondent] The CDC senta letter to all 50 states,

urging them to be preparedfor a vaccine by November 1st,

much earlier than expertsbelieve one will be ready.

The Chief Scientific Advisor

for President Trump'sOperation Warp Speed,

Dr. Moncef Slaoui told NPR that a vaccine

before Election Day is possible,but extremely unlikely,

but he is strongly optimistic, though,

about one being ready in 2020.

- [Moncef] We may have enoughvaccine by the end of the year

to immunize, probably, I would say

between 20 and 25 million people,

and then we will ramp up the manufacturing

to immunize the U.S. populationby the middle of 2021.

- [Correspondent] U.S. SurgeonGeneral Dr. Jerome Adams

also spoke out about vaccines.

- We've always said that weare hopeful for a vaccine

by the end of this yearor beginning of next year.

Tony Fauci has affirmed that several times

in the last 48 hours,

but that said, it's notjust about having a vaccine

that is safe and effective,

it's about being ready to distribute it.

- [Correspondent] ABC Newsreports the CDC is predicting

up to 211,000 American deathsby the end of September,

all this while colleges continueto struggle with COVID-19.

According to ABC News,

Indiana University'sBloomington campus wants

fraternities and sororitiesto reconsider their choice

to stay in housing off-campus.

That's after more than 400people tested positive for COVID

in 37 of the school's 42 Greekhouses in the last two weeks,

but officials say ifyou send students home,

that could compound the problem.

- Fraternities should stay focused

on safety and quarantine right now

and following Dr. Fauci's advice,

which is if you don't have symptoms,

you're asymptomatic and youhave it, stay in quarantine.

The worst possible solutionis to leave your quarantine

and create more community spread.

That's why the fraternities are gonna stay

in their facilities.

- Back to the Labor Day holiday.

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. JeromeAdams also addressed that.

He said going into this weekend,

we've had a decrease of about 40% in cases

since a peak on July 24th,

and he doesn't want Americansto get careless this weekend.

John, back to you.
