outbreak a global pandemic. our senior medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta joins us to explain why. what makes it a pandemic? there are criteria that are somewhat defined to call something a pandemic. let me preface by saying this terminology that we re going to start using now isn t so much to cause panic but rather to really cause a focus on preparedness. sanjay will join us in a moment. more than 525,000 americans have died since sanjay made those remarks. but this morning there are so many positive signs. 2.2 million people a day are getting vaccinated. the cdc has new guidelines for 30 million people who are fully vaccinated. if you are one of them, the cdc says it is safe to gather with other vaccinated people indoors without masks. and vaccinated grandparents can safely visit unvaccinated grandchildren. but the experts say we re not out of the wood yet. coronavirus variants could still trigger another deadly surge, especially as states relax their guidelines.
first prime time speech commemorating the one year milestone since the shutdown. we have a lot to cover. let s begin with omar jimenez as the trial will begin today, the jury selection in the case, the murder and manslaughter charges that have been brought against derek chauvin. reporter: that is right. so jury selection process should be getting going officially in any moment now. we were watching this morning the attorneys file back into court and work out some pretrial motions with the judge peter cahill at which point the judge asked if the attorneys had heard from the court of appeals yet, as to whether this third-degree murder charge would be settled. but as of just a few moments ago we learned that the attorneys for the defense officer derek chauvin filed a petition to the minnesota supreme court on whether to rule on whether the appellate court decision this past friday over whether they would reconsider to reinstate the third-degree murder charge could go forward.
cdc though is cautioning against taking two steps back as more and more states are gearing up to reopen even though only a fraction of their populations have been fully vaccinated, so joining me with more on that is cnn s nick watt. reporter: this country is now averaging under 60,000 new covid-19 cases a day and about 60% of americans, 65 and older, the demo in deepest danger, have had at least one dose of vaccine. no guarantee because we re ramping up our vaccine at record levels every day we re nearly out of the woods. there are now cdc guidelines for the fill vaccinated. basically they can mix unmasked with each in private, in public still mark offed around distanced. i was a little disappoint that had they didn t say anything about travel. we re told the cdc talked about travel but there was never moment mum behind a change. still, more than 5 million people flew over the past five days. spring break is coming up. it s important to to tell people how to travel.
