Thats a goal that president biden had hoped to reach on July 4th. This milestone happening as the Delta Covid Variant ravages through the unvaccinated. Were also learning more than 99 of the fully vaccinated arent getting Breakthrough Cases of any kind. Thats according to a new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. So, the breakdown here is that Breakthrough Cases are extremely rare if youre vaccinated. Many City And StateHealth Officials are trying to urge precautions without forcing them because it could get much worse before it gets better. Reporter across the nation, more vaccines are going into arms. As of sunday more than 700,000 doses administered daily for five days straight. The good news, Health Experts say rising Vaccination Rates could help avoid winter lockdowns. The bad news, there may be rough weeks ahead. Were looking to some Pain And Suffering in the future because were seeing the cases go up. We want to avoid lockdowns at all costs. But that means were going to have to do some other things that wont necessarily be welcomed by people. Reporter across the country, Mask Mandates going into place even for people fully vaccinated. New York CitysMayor Bill de blasio says hes focusing on vaccinations but is following the cdc in issuing an indoor Mask Recommendation but not map dating them. We want to strongly recommend that people wear those masks indoors even if vaccinated. Reporter covid cases are surging, in large part, due to the spread of the highly contagious very littlea variant. Half the cases last week were reported in five states, florida, texas, california, louisiana, and georgia. Cases have gone up about fourfold in the last couple of weeks. Were pushing up towards A Hundred Thousand cases a day now, and particularly so in those hot spots where Vaccination Rates are still quite low. Reporter hospitals in Louisiana And Mississippi overwhelmed. Health officials in austin, texas, preparing for the worst. Its scary what were seeing right now. Were see geometric climbs in our intensive care units. Were literally beginning to question whether we have the capacity to be able to sustain this. Reporter a new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that less than 1 of fully vaccinated people contracted covid19. According to the cdc, less than 1 thousandth of 1 of fully vaccinated people experienced a Breakthrough Case resulting in death. There are some Breakthrough Infections. No vaccine is 100 effective. But in the Breakthrough Infections they are mostly mild or without symptoms. Reporter and, pam, this just in. Louisianas governor has temporarily reinstated a statewide Mask Mandate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people when they are indoors and in public. His office saying this is to help deal with the states worst surge of the Covid19 Pandemic in terms of the Growth Rate and hospitalizations. The mandate goes into effect on wednesday. Pam . Thats a state with one of the higher unVaccination Rates. Thanks so much, lucy. Over at the White House, officials are loading president Bidens Schedule with covidrelated events, highlighting a renewed focus on the pandemic. As Cnns Phil mattingly reports, today the president met with his Coronavirus Team as the country meets the Vaccination Goal Biden hoped to reach nearly a month ago. Reporter president biden returning to washington and heading directly to a Closeddoor Meeting with his top covid advisers. We are not fully Out Of The Woods yet. Reporter the resurgent virus dominating Bidens Schedule for the first time in weeks, the stark new reality confronting the nation. After months and months of cases going down, were seeing a spike In Covid cases that are Going Up. Reporter in a White House once again subject to its own indoor Mask Mandate with renewed urgency in pushing the solution thats been available for months, vaccines. And you want to know how we put this virus behind us . Ill tell you how. We need to get more people vaccinated. Reporter the White House is seeing some positive signs finally hitting its July 4th goal of 70 of u. S. Adults with at least one dose today. And more positive news, the steady uptick in first doses delivered, hitting the highest Sevenday Average since the beginning of july. But its a White House recalibrating and understanding that despite significant progress, half the country is still unvax nalted. The Delta Variant is Wreaking Havoc on their plans. Or face strict testing requirements. This is a basic Safety Measure at a time when we continue to see this very dangerous variant spreading around our country. Reporter and pressing businesses around the country to go further and mandate vaccines for employees. There is a consequence if you choose not to get vaccinated. And you cant participate in the Public Square quite the same way you could otherwise. Reporter White House officials increasingly frustrated over the weekend about how details of the delta spread, particularly among the vaccinated, were reported. The data telling a clear story. 99. 99 of people fully vaccinated have not had a Breakthrough Case resulting in hospitalization or death. And, pamela, just a short while ago, white House Press SecretaryJen Psaki finished her briefing with reporters. And one of the questions was related to Something President biden said on friday, saying, in all probability, there would be more guidelines or restrictions for the u. S. To follow based on the surge. Psaki did not detail what those may be but made very clear of two things that are not on the table. There would be no more fullscale shutdowns and also that a federal Vaccine Mandate for the country is something the White House is not considering. Joining me now to discuss is cnn chief medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay gupta. Great to see you, sanjay. So, the White House is celebrating this encouraging Marker Today with the covid Data Director tweeting, milestone monday just in, today we hit 70 of the adults with at least one of the doses, adding Sevenday Average of newly vaccinated highest since July 4th. So, as we know, the administration is nearly a month late hitting this milestone. But what does reaching this milestone now tell you, sanjay . Well, were going in a better direction, obviously. Its kind of interesting, pamela, just interesting traveled back from japan, there are so many countries around the world that dont have access to these vaccines, and but the num Going Up gets us closer to more and more people getting protected here. That shouldve been something we shouldve accomplished earlier. Fewer than 1 of fully vaccinated people getting Breakthrough Cases. Is that what you expected, more or less . What do you think . Yeah. This is interesting. So we can show what this was in san diego county. We can show what was happening there. Even if you go back and look at the initial trial data, which was on earlier strains of the virus, they said 95 protective against serious disease. We didnt know how well it would actually protect someone from actually carrying the virus. The big story is the red line, obviously. If youre not vaccinated, the idea of you getting infected is, theres a huge gulf in terms of the likelihood of infection between vaccinated and unvaccinated. That Shouldnt Surprise people. There are people who are vaccinated that are going to develop these infections, it may even be higher than what that white line suggests, but way, way lower than unvaccinated. That is the key even if you are vaccinated with a Breakthrough Case, chances are based on the data youre going to stay out of the hospital, youre probably not going to die. Thats the bottom line. So, we keep hearing from administration officials the only way out of this pandemic is through vaccinations. Is vaccination the only way to get to herd immunity, or is it a combination of Infection And Vaccination . Well, i think theres two questions in there. In terms of herd immunity, which is actually having enough people with immunity, its going to be a combination of vaccinations and the people who are already infected at some point probably are contributing to that immunity as well. But in terms of getting us out of this pam, the first part of the question you asked, this is an interesting point because i think theres always been two stories here. We obviously want to get people vaccinated. That puts us in good position longterm as a country and as a world. But we have to bring down viral transmission. Theres too much virus thats circulating, and the answer to that is masks and the mitigation measures, not forever, but experts have told me if everyone wore highfiltration masks for a few weeks in this country, wed probably bring viral transmission down significantly. So its really a combination of both those things. Continuing to vaccinate while you continue to be bathed in virus, thats kind of like saying, im going to give you antibiotics for your wound, but go ahead and keep soaking your wound in bacteria, but keep taking your antibiotics at the same time. You wouldnt do that. You would clean your wound and make sure youre not exposing it to dirt. Weve got too much virus spreading in this country. That continues to be the fundamental problem. That sort of answers the next question i was going to ask you that if vaccinated people are spreading the virus, can more variants still develop from that . And i think the answer would be youve got to just keep wearing masks and stay distanced, right . Right. What is causing mutations . It is the amount of virus that is spreading. Yes, it is true theres some data that shows vaccinated people can also be spreading this. But the fundamental problem is just way too much virus. Theres more virus per capita circulating in florida than there is in the uk. We are a viral sort of bed in the united states in many places. So thats obviously a real concern. Weve got to bring down viral transmission. Think of that sort of metaphor. Youre going to soak your wound in dirty water while giving antibiotics . No. Pull your hand out of the dirty water, give the antibiotics, make sure you bring down the amount of bacteria in that case with the wound is the same thing as bringing down the virus in the country. Thats what we have to do. That really puts it in perspective. And it helps us understand the push for Mask Mandates or push for Mask Requirements in some parts of the country. So i want to ask you about this. Theres a lot of talk about the third vaccine, both israel and the uk are rolling out this third Vaccine Dose for people over age 60 and immunocompromised people. Why isnt the u. S. Following suit for those specific groups . Many of those people in those groups were first in line to get vaccinated in january or february. It couldnt hurt, right . I dont think it could hurt. There is the issues of equity, you want to make sure that youre not robbing peter to pay paul in terms of vaccines. But there are doses that are expiring as well on shelves around country. We can show you the data in terms of what is being seen in israel and other places in terms of the waning effectiveness. It does seem to wane over time the effectiveness of the vaccines. Its still very effective at keeping people from getting seriously ill, hospitalized, or dying. 99. 99 of people who are vaccinated survive covid. So, one in 100,000. Theyre still very protective. But people who fall into those highrisk groups, my guess is we may hear some Recommendation Changes for them to potentially get a third shot. With my 87yearold dad, i was wondering is he still as protected with the vaccination he got many months ago . All right, dr. Sanjay gupta, thank you so much. Thank you. One in five new covid cases are in one state, the same state thats also banning Mask Mandates in schools. We were just talking about it with sanjay. And were on the ground in that state, up next.

[music plays. ] in our national lead, one in five new coronavirus cases are all coming from one state, florida. But as some School Districts are considering new Mask Mandates, the states republican governor is saying not so fast. Cnns Rosa Flores is live for us in lauderdale. Rosa, explain whats happening there in Broward County. Reporter i talked to the mayor and he says that the cases are Going Up, so are the hospitalizations. One of his biggest worries is that the people who are being hospitalized are younger and younger, in Their 20s And 30s and even children. And when you look at the Positivity Rate of children here in florida, children between 12 and 19 have a Positivity Rate of 22 . Recently Broward County public schools passed a Mask Mandate on friday. Its important to note that it does not ban Mask Mandates. What it does do is it directs the Florida Department of health and the Florida Department of education to Draft Emergency rules that will give the choice to parents. Now, Broward County public schools says that theyre trying to figure out what it means for them. In miamidade county, public schools are worried about funding, the Superintendent Saying and why are they worried about funding . Because in that executive order, it says that if schools dont follow the executive order, then the state can withhold funding. Thats why theyre worried. Theyre going through this document trying to figure out how they can keep the teachers and the children safe and follow that executive order. All right, Rosa Flores, thank you so much. And over in arkansas, more than 160 students and three teachers are in quarantine after just one week Back To School. This comes after seven students and three teachers tested positive. And now officials are investigating other possible new cases. In georgia, officials say new cases statewide increased more than 200 over the last 14day period. But their School Districts still are wrestling over whether masks should be mandated or not. Lets go straight to cnns Natasha Chen live in atlanta. Many kids are going Back To School today. What have officials decided to do about masks there . Reporter pamela, first day of class here in Dekalb County public schools where masks are required for students and staff in all School Buildings. But in near cobb county, also one of the large districts in georgia, masks are optional there. So its very divided, depends on which district you go to. We saw a Charter School last Week Start Class and already have more than a dozen cases sending more than A Hundred students into quarantine. Clayton county schools also set to start inperson with masks. Had to start two of their schools virtually because of staff quarantine. It is challenging across the board. We talked to one parent who picked up his 4yearold daughter from this school today, her very first day of prek. And i asked him about the idea of possibly mandating employees in School Buildings to get the vaccine. Everything concerns me, to be honest. But now its like theres not so much we can do. So, for me, i would love for all to get vaccinated. But then again, you Cant Force people to do what they dont want to do. Mandatory vaccinations would be good, but theres only so much we can do as parents. Reporter we talked to another parent who actually works at a local icu. She sees the worst of it. Shes telling me about the hospital filling up with younger people. And as shes sending her 7yearold son to this school, she says to me if she keeps seeing the trends worsen by November Flu season, she might have to consider pulling her son back home for virtual learning. Now, that 7yearold, he told me that he could keep his mask on all Day Today he did well with that, though sometimes it was hard to keep it over his nose. His favorite part of the day was recess. So, pam, at least that answer from a kid is very normal, pandemic or not. I was going to say thats pretty consistent. All right, Natasha Chen, thank you so much.

After months of delay, fingerpointing and White House meetings, there is a bipartisan infrastructure bill. The finalized text was submitted last night, and today the senate is expected to start the next step of the process, expected to pass the entire bill within days. Are there enough votes on both sides of the aisle to get this deal done . Reporter well, the sponsors of this bill certainly are hopeful that there are. And it appears that it has very good chances. Its more about how long this is going to take. So today, for example, they have spent the entire day debating the bill on the floor, but behind the Scenes Kind of Hashing Out what amendments they will be taking up. And you need unanimous consent for that. So thats kind of the dealmaking thats going on behind the scenes right now. And thats where this process can kind of stretch on for a while. What were talking about is an over 1 Trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, a peek at whats inside of it, about 73 Billion to rebuild the electric grid, 40 Billion for bridges. Pamela, this that hard infrastructure that weve been talking about that would really go all across the country for roads, bridges, things like that. But right now, pamela, were just waiting for this process to continue forward. Youll remember all this weekend we waited for the Bill Text to get written. Now we finally have the Bill Text, now we got to get to the amendments. There is this bitter split emerging in the party over the expired Eviction Moratorium, which has left millions of renters at risk of losing their homes. Tell us about that. So we saw the house go out on recess on friday. They tried to bring this up for a vote. And they wanted unanimous consent from republicans, they did not get it, but that is also because the democrats simply did not have the votes to bring this to the floor. It wouldve extended this Eviction Moratorium for about 11 Million people that are now at risk of being evicted. And theres a lot of fingerpointing as to how this ball was dropped. I talked with Congresswoman Cori Bush over the weekend. She estimates there between three to 15 votes short. I think we want to hear from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasiocortez over the weekend she kind of touched on this. Take a listen. There was frankly a handful of Conservative Democrats in the house that threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote. And we have to really just call a Spade A spade. We cannot in good faith blame the republican party when House Democrats have a majority. 47 Billion has already been set aside to deal with all of this for landlords and renters. About 3 Billion has distributed. So theres also a lot of questions about why that money has not gone out quicker. Its really slow going, and a lot of people in this country need that money. And turning now to our national lead, we have just learned a third Police Officer who helped defend the u. S. Capitol against rioters during the deadly January 6th insurrection has died by suicide.

Democrats are demanding an apology with one even going as far as to demand the White HouseLeaders Resignation after republican Congressman Kevin Mccarthy was recorded over the weekend saying this. [ applause ] there you heard him say it, it would be hard not to hit her with it. Weve got a panel of ladies today. Alice, im going to start with you on that. The Pelosi Spokesman said, a threat of violence to someone who was a target of a January 6thAssassination Attempt from your fellow trump supporters is irresponsible and disgusting. Now, Mccarthys OfficeExahas N responded to request for comment. Is anything about his comments defensible here . No. This was a completely inappropriate thing to say. It was not nice, and he should apologize. He should not step down, he should not resign, he should certainly apologize. Weve all been in private events where people have said things that were inappropriate and should not be said in the public arena, and we need to be certainly much more careful. But with Cell Phones and people recording everything, you have to be extremely careful. Look, the Day And Age of things being in private and staying private are over. And case in point, the difference is Donald Trump would say and do things in private that he would also say in public. There is no filter, there are no guardrails, there is no remorse. So a lot more of this kind of Behavior And Rhetoric is being put out in the Public Square. But this, i think, is an isolated situation. They could put it behind them very quickly with a quick apology. This is not about her being a woman. This is just about her being the speaker and he wants to be the speaker. But i dont think he is going to apologize. Weve been seeing their relationship deteriorate. Shes the democratic leader, the speaker, hes the republican leader. She last Week Made Comments that appeared to be calling him a moron. So its getting worse, not better. And its leading to more acrimony in the house when they have a lot on their plate to do. And i just dont see him apologizing. He might, you know, his office might try to clean it up a little bit. But apologizing i dont know. He doesnt need to apologize. His supporters will not demand that he apologize. They are playing to the lowest common denominator. We shouldnt be normalizing violence against women, especially someone who has been threatened in the way that Speaker Pelosi has. And i just think its funny. These guys have, i dont know, beer muscles, i dont know what was going on at that fundraiser, but i think its easy to say things behind someones back. I think people negligent Nancy Pelosi is from baltimore. He can play if he wants but he wouldnt do that in her face. Theres always a camera, theres always someone with their iphone. Youve got to expect if youre going to say it in priorivate i going to come out publicly. How much is this worsening relationship between Pelosi And Mccarthy. And pelosi recently called mccarthy a moron. How much of it has been spurred on by the select committee . I think there was preJanuary 6thPelosi And Mccarthy who really didnt have much of a relationship. Its well known that pelosi and John Boehner actually had a really good relationship when youve laid aside the politics. That wasnt the case. Pelosi mccarthy never had a relationship. And then it went from pretty much meh to dislike after January 6th, particularly after mccarthys actions after the capitol was attacked. His kind of mealy reaction to it and backtracking from what he said initially that former President Trump was at fault to some of the whitewashing that he and his Caucus Or Conference rather have been a part of. But its true that you shouldnt say these things in private, you shouldnt say in public either. Both Pelosi And Mccarthy have had colleagues that were cut down by wouldbe assassins. They both were there when the capitol was attacked. They both have had death threats. Its past this, stop it. I interviewed the sergeant of arms a couple of months ago, and she said that because of the heightened political rhetoric, there are more threats against lawmakers just in this last really since the election. So, there you have it right there. Rhetoric does matter. And speaking of rhetoric mattering, lets switch gears to how republicans are now talking about vaccinations. Lindsey graham, republican senator Lindsey Graham announcing today he has Test Positive for coronavirus. He said he noted, quote, i am very glad i was vaccinated because without vaccination i am certain i would not feel as well as i do now, my symptoms would be far worse. How much of an impact could it have to have someone like Lindsey Graham come out and say, look, id be a lot worse off if i wasnt vaccinated . How much of an impact would that have on Vaccine Hesitancy . I dont know what more people need to hear, but go get your vaccine because it does make covid symptoms less severe. And that should tell the complete story right there. I think what were having here is a Miscommunication Problem with this administration between the biden administration saying one thing and the cdc saying something else. If we could get all of our elected officials and all of government on the same page and encourage vaccinations, take the politics out of it, this is a healthcare issue, and encourage people to get the vaccine, and that helps make getting the disease much less and makes the likelihood of you getting it even smaller. What do you think about that . Because youve had to deal with coordination on a government level. What do you think about the point that alice just made . I think the biden administration and the cdc definitely need to get in better alignment, but with respect to Lindsey Graham, i think he has an excellent opportunity, his team does, i dont know how hes feel, but his team has an excellent opportunity to speak to those who are vaccine hesitant. It breaks my heart leaving behind children or their widows saying we shouldve gotten the vaccine. When someone is gone, there is no doover. And i think were playing politics like this is a game. These are peoples lives. And with this Vaccine Weve seen and were seeing with Lindsey Graham that you can survive this. In a lot of ways the lack of coordination is more so at the state and the local level, particularly in republican states and republicanled cities, theyre not getting the same message saying go get your vaccine, do it today.

In our world lead, sources tell cnn diplomats feel left in the dark by State Department officials over a concerning lack of information on the threatening rise of havana syndrome. Havana syndrome causes strange symptoms like vertigo, nausea, headaches, piercing noise, and sometimes permanent brain damage. Reports of the sudden Mystery Sickness started in cuba in 2016. And new cases have just surfaced in vienna. Cnns Kylie Atwood is at the State Department for us. Do we know how many people have been affected by this . The last update we got was from Cia Director Bill burns last month when he said there would be a couple hundred u. S. Government officials who had been impacted by these incidents since they started occurring in cuba in 2016. But the State Department has not told its workforce just how many diplomats, particularly recently, have been impacted by this and where they have been impacted. And that is one of the key frustrations, because as we have reported on these incidents happening over the last few months, particularly with this cluster of cases happening in vienna, u. S. Diplomats are growing Frusz Raszed because they say they dont know this basic information. And thats what folks at the department are telling me they want more of. And without this information, State Department officials are doing two things. Some satisfy them are deciding that they dont want to apply for jobs where they have heard there have been these incidents. And theres also a Whisper Campaign happening at the department as they try and figure out if a post is open because that person was the subject of one of these incidents. And thats causing a lot of fear in these hallways. Now, the department has said that theyre aware of these frustrations. Theyre working to share some more information. They want to strike a balance. They dont want to overhype this problem because its a huge organization, and theres quite a small number of people in The Grand Scheme of things who have been impacted. But they do want to share some information. They also say their Secretary Of StateTony Blinken has not met with any of those impacted. They say that will happen soon. Kylie atwood, thank you so much.

Biles will compete in the Balance Beam final after withdrawing from four competitions last week. She blamed a bad case of the twisties. Thats a Disorienting Mental Block where biles said she couldnt tell the difference between up and down. Lets go to cnns Will Ripley in tokyo. All the hype is around biles in this last final. No pressure, right . Pam, you could not have written a more dramatic kind of climax to this most surreal summer games. The biggest contenders really struggled here in tokyo. And that was certainly the case for simone saying she is suffering from this disconnect between her Body And Mind which can be really dangerous between aerial maneuvers. But now she is back, she is training for the Balance Beam competition. And she will be competing along the Gold Medalist Suni lee who stepped in for her. Rooting for simone hoping that this will be her chance to take home olympic gold. They thought she was going to sweep the events. That has not happened. Another unexpected disappointment for Team Usa womens soccer losing in the semifinals to canada canada, pamela, thats not who you want to lose there. They were expected to come in and be strong, and its over. Just like you said, so much has not gone as we would have expected or perhaps had hoped. Will ripley, thank you so much. And in another dramatic twist at the games, an olympic sprinter is On The Run but not on the track. Instead from her native country of belarus for refusing to return fearing she will be arrested. She was forced to run a relay and is now a humanitarian rescue mission. [ speaking foreign language ] reporter it was a simple complaint, but no criticism is safe if you come from belarus. Sprinter Kristina Timanovskaya unleashed criticism of her olympic Team Managers for entering her in the fourbyfour hundred Relay Race without her consent. It was a rant that would not only end her olympic bid but also her life in belarus. 48 hours after posting the video, she said she was escorted by belarusian Team Reps to the airport, her bags packed and Ticket Home booked for her. She was terrified. I asked the International Olympic Committee for help. I was put under pressure and they are trying to forcibly take me out of the country without my consent. I asked the International Olympic Committee to intervene. Reporter she said the Instant Recall had, quote, come from above, a oneway Ticket Home to likely repression. She was terrified of returning to belarus for good reason. This Man President Alexander lukashenko dubbed the last dictator in europe, friend of vladimir putin, has unleashed a brutal crackdown against dissent. Allegations of brutality have been constant. Cnn reporting On Extreme Brutality against peaceful protesters. Activists have mysteriously died in police custody. And last week a court banned an independent News Station as extremist amid a wider assault on the media. The government denies accusations of brutality. So at the Airport Timanovskaya reached out to japanese police who held her in safety as news of what she called her forced return spread. The Belarusian Olympic Committee said she had, quote, psychological and emotional issues and was taken off her team, which she denies. Translator she stood out with her behavior. We know her and weve known her for a long time, there was something strange. Sometimes she would isolate, sometimes she would not want to socialize. Reporter she said it was because she criticized the olympic managers and annoyed this man. Quickly, democratic europe came to her aid. Poland offering her a humanitarian visa and perhaps asylum. Of course she can continue, shes free to continue her career in poland. Reporter Sher Husband fled belarus into ukraine, a sign of how belarus has treated even the most slightly outspoken critic. Really ask yourself. The key ally of belarus is russia. And many analysts possibly feel that moscow sees these extraordinary acts by belarus on the world stage, it seems trying to force olympic athletes home. You remember, too, the forced downing of a Ryanair Jet a few months ago just to arrest an Opposition Blogger and think possibly that their alliance with belarus is simply not worth the embarrassment on the international stage. Theres another argument that says to some degree russia simply cannot belarus fall in a westerly direction towards the european union.
