At least 137 thousand americans have died from covid-19.... and 34 states are seeing a steady climb in hospitalizations.

This as health experts warn more younger people are testing positive.

At least 40 states, plus puerto rico and washington d.c., are battling an increase in confirmed cases.

Reena roy has the latest.

L3: coronavirus outbreak white coronavirus cases increasing in young adults nats "singing" the family of 26- year-old desi-rae mcintosh is reeling over their sudden loss -- the young woman dying of covid-19 this week in fort walton, florida.

Sot: thomas frisch / father "i won't be able to see her smiling face no more.

I won't be able to hug her."

Her father says she had underlying conditions -- and was battling symptoms from the virus for about 2 weeks.

An internal fema memo obtained by abc news shows more young people are becoming infected in the u.s. in june -- 18 to 49 year olds made up nearly 36 percent of hospitalizations -- and 30 percent of those in the icu.

Sot: francis suarez / miami mayor "our largest category of people who are getting sick are our youth.

And my message to our youth is please, we need you to be responsible."

Florida -- emerging as a new hot spot in the u.s. some icus reaching capacity.

The miami convention center being transformed into a field hospital for covid patients.

Meantime texas hit another record of nearly 11 thousand new cases in one day.

With morgues filling up -- refrigerated trucks are now lined up in san antonio.

Sot - dr. ken davis / chief medical officer for christus health south texas: "it's a hard thing to talk about when people's loved ones are dying but in the hospital there's only so much place to put bodies.

We're out of space."

Still experts worry some young people aren't taking the pandemic seriously -- with group gatherings seen across the country-without social distancing or mask wearing.

Sot / jay deshawn / gathering in group "i'm young, i'm reckless, i'm going to do what i want waste my summer sitting inside."

And even as the daily death toll rises in 27 states -- and hospitalizations near an all-time high -- with more than 56 thousand covid patients right now -- president trump and some local officials continue to pressure schools to reopen in the fall- without suggesting a plan on how to do it in a way to keep students, teachers and staff safe.

Sot: dr. besser "if you have widespread transmission in the community like is going on in so many places, there's absolutely no way to safely open schools."

Tag: some schools are opting to start the school year with virtual learning until numbers go down.

However, many parents are on edge as to whether it's actually safe to send their kids back to the classroom.

So it is important to note that hospitalizations in young children remain rare according to health experts.

:adlibon: overview: a weak cold front is sitting across central kentucky triggering scattered showers and thunderstorms. tonight: a few showers and thunderstorms, muggy, lows around 70 friday: partly cloudy with scattered showers & thunderstorms, highs around 90 saturday: partly cloudy, isolated shower or thunderstorm, highs in the lower 90s sunday: partly cloudy with a few showers & thunderstorms, highs in the lower 90s monday: partly cloudy with an isolated thunderstorm or two, highs in the lower to middle 90s tuesday: partly cloudy with a few showers and thunderstorms, highs in the lower to middle 90s wednesday: scattered showers and thunderstorms, highs in the upper 80s thursday: partly cloudy with an isolated thunderstorm or two, highs in the upper 80s ams meteorologist george zabrecky gzabrecky@wtvq.com jason wraps :adliboff: to our nation view... and to the big campaign c1 3 shake-up.

President trump demoting his campaign manager and replacing him with a former aide from his 2016 campaign.

Alex presha has the details from washington.

L3: nation view white campaign shakeup despite boasting that his campaign is doing much better than the media reports, today, president trump shaking up his campaign just a month before his convention.

With just over 100 days until election day, he's demoting long-time campaign manager brad parscale.

Parscale will return to running the digital operation and bill stepien is taking the top job.

Stepien - someone the president is very comfortable with.

He was the white house political director and involved with the 2016 campaign.

The shakeup comes amid lagging poll numbers.

Something the president was asked about tuesday.

Do you see yourself as the underdog in this race?

Do you see yourself losing in the fall?

Trump: no i don't.

I think we have really good poll numbers.

But several recent polls tell a different story.

Many have him down double digits both nationally and in key s states to former vice president joe biden.

This quinnipiac poll has him down 15 points.

Sot: i think that the enthusiasm now is greater and may be far greater than it was in 2016.

I think a lot of people don't want to talk about it.

Crowd size at events has long been an important barometer for the president-though that doesn't necessarily correlate with winning elections.

At his june rally in tulsa, oklahoma - parscale promising an overflow crowd, but delivering an arena only on-third full - something that reportedly infuriated president trump.

The president also facing criticism from state leaders in his own party over his coronavirus response: maryland's republican gov.

Larry hogan writing "instead of listening to his own public health experts, the president was talking and tweeting like a man more concerned about boosting the stock marketection plans."

The biden campaign jumping on today's news saying "almost 140,000 americans have lost their lives and millions more have lost their jobs because of donald trump's failed leadership?

The trump campaign's game of musical chairs won't fix this."

Reporter stand-up close: senior level campaign sources tell abc they were shocked and did not know the change was coming.

Some close to the president don't expect the campaign shake-up to have much impact because the president doesn't often follow the campaign's messaging.

Alex presha, abc news, washington.

Time/initial: 10:20a/et twitter.... dealing with a massive breach... that hacked the accounts of billionaires... celebrities and politicians.

First-time fi ... the labor department says the numbers continue to decline.... but still remain high.

The department says one-point-three million americans filed first-time jobless claims last week.

That is nearly four months after the coronavirus pandemic started wreaking havoc on the economy continued claims were at more than 17-point-three million as of last week.

That's down 422,000 from the previous week.

L3: consumer news white retail sales rise for 2nd straight month the u-s government reports retail sales rose for the second month in a row... as shoppers slowly back into stores amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Retail sales rose seven-point-five percent in june from the prior month.

But analysts have cautioned the recovery may be short-lived if people become less willing to spend money on discretionary items... like clothing.

Twitter is blaming a quote; "coordinated, social engineering attack" for the hijack of multiple high-profile accounts.

Barack obama, kim and kayne west, warren buffett, jeff bezos and mike bloomberg were among those involved in the hack promoting a crypto-currency scam.

Here's zohreen shah with more on how the social media giant believes it happened.

L3: consumer news white twitter scam: politicians,lebrid it was a coordinated attack on some of the most influential tweeters -- yet the biggest victims: arguably, ordinary americans and their wallets.

Hackers took control of the twitter accounts of barack obama, joe biden, elon musk, bill gates, kanye west and kim kardashian -- just to name a few.

Those users -- with hundreds of millions of followers.

Each compromised account posting the same message -- falsely telling followers bit coin contributions to a link would be doubled.

Bit coin is a virtual currency, not recognized by the us government --it can be very hard to trace.

The tweets were pulled from the site, and twitter briefly cut off all verified accounts - users with those blue checkmarks - from being able to tweet twitter says the issue was resolved.

Company officials believe the hackers got access to the accounts after targeting employees with internal access.

The company is launching an investigation -- but the fbi is also getting involved.

Experts don't believe the attack was from another government, but they warn an attack like this could still have had massive consequences: sot: chief research officer, f-secure, mikko hypponen:"they could have used this access to announce a merger and acquisition in the name of bill gates or elon musk, which would have immediately affected stock prices.

Or i don't know, they could have waited for november until presidential elections in the united states.

And then on election day tweet something awful from one of the presidential candidates in usa."

Tag: just an example of how influential a fake tweet can be -- seven years ago, syrian hackers tweeted a false claim that president obama was injured -- that alone sent the entire stock market plummeting.

You'll want to hear about this outrageous match- up.

"james o'daniel: hi.

I'm james c1 3 your engine's coolant and the coolant system.

Reasons you may want to check your coolant system if you have never done it before, one is if your car has higher mileage, you want to check into that, because over time the coolant will actually degrade, the quality of that coolant will degrade and will actually create issues down the road if left unattended.

One may be, it actually create an issue with the thermostat causing the thermostat to stick open or closed creating a not coming up to temperature issue, or becoming over a certain temperature issue.james o'daniel: two, a quality coolant will help with the seals and the gaskets within your engine to keep those from leaking, allowing coolant to come out.

You can test these with devices that they have on the market today to test the quality ofyoue temperature, or you can bring it into s&s tire and let us do it.james o'daniel: also, if your engines coolant gets low, it can create an issue, not only engine overheating, but it can affect the air conditioning of your vehicle.

Air conditioning also helps to run off that coolant by keeping you cool inside the vehicle, so if your coolants low, your air conditioning is not working properly, and if that's the case, it may be overworking.

If you've never had it inspected, get it inspected today.

Check your manufacturer's recommendations and check it out.

At s&s tire, i'm james.

This is your tip from under the hood.speaker 2: now at s&s tire, buy four continental or general tires and get four free oil changes."

Like the mayor forming a committee addressing racial disparities..

And plans for a police accountability review board to include citizens.

"a citizen's review board will be a significant step toward addressing the current, eroding mistrust that exists between black citizens and law enfourcement."

But leaders say the retirement of former police chaplain donovan stewart further hurts the department's accountability.

It's an example of how more change is needed.

They want a long overdue sit-down with chief lawrence weathers... permanent ban of no knock warrants..

And a strict body camera policy.

"this isn't solely a black issue this is a justice issue."

Reverend l clark williams was pretty direct when asked about tuesday's march on attorney general daniel cameron's home in louisville.

"certainly we would like for the attorney general to always be mindful that protesting is the language of people who haven't been heard."

They also want more economic opportunities for racial minority owned businesses.

Additionally, they're asking the governor and secretary of state to allow mail-in ballots in november... something the secretary has criticized as being too costly.

"there is no cost that's too great when democracy is at stake."

They want everyone to vote this fall..

In what they call one of the most important elections in the nation's history.

"the best way to bring about change is to elect people that already agree with us."
