millions more americans are about to lose pandemic unemployment benefits that are set to expire this coming weekend. and this is coming at a time when businesses are going out of their way, they re boosting wages, offering bonuses and providing other incentives to lure workers in. at least 7.5 million people in 26 states will be affected by this, but don t expect a flood of new hiring because experts say cutting off benefits has had little impact on pushing people back to work. there are other contributing factors, chief among them concerns about covid and in particular this delta variant. jam-packed hospitals in louisiana have more than just hurricane ida to be worried about this morning. with the still rising number of covid patients, hospitals in at least four states are experiencing oxygen shortages. some facilities in florida, south carolina, texas and louisiana are on the verge of moving to their reserve supply or even running out of oxygen all together. cnn s kristen holme
