TAPPER: Welcome to THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper and we continue this hour with our health LEAD and the acceleration of coronavirus globally. With more than 60 percent of all coronavirus cases in the world reported just in the last month, according to the World Health Organization. Just look at this map showing the surge of cases in the United States over the past two weeks. The number of new cases soaring in 37 states. And in the wake of this escalation at least 19 states have paused or pulled back their reopening plans. In the last hour California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered restaurants, movie theaters, museums, and more to stop indoor operations in 19 counties in California. More than 127,000 people have died from coronavirus in the United States as of now. Though health experts have long warned the actual death toll is likely much higher. A new study out today finding there may be as many as 30,000 more coronavirus deaths in this country than had originally been reported. California is seeing such explosive growth in new cases and hospitalizations. The state's Democratic Governor now reimplementing restrictions. CNN's Nick Watt is in Los Angeles for us.
