You that these are the darkest days of this pandemic. The darkest days of this pandemic. A rise in cases and hospitalizations so severe in louisiana that the governor just announced hes reinstating the states indoor Mask Mandate effective tomorrow. Hes one of many local leaders across the country now beginning to change Course Turning back toward masks to protect their communities. Just a few hours from now, President Biden is expected to speak on the administrations efforts to get more americans vaccinated. Lets begin with jeremy at the White House. Jeremy, some urgency here as the Delta Variant spreads. The vaccine is widely available and free. How does the president say hes going to get those who are still hesitant or hospitile to take T Shot . Reporter well hear a couple things from the president later today when he speaks on the state of vaccines around the united states and Around The World. We expect to hear the president will talk about progress thats been made in the last couple weeks as the Delta Variant is surging across the country you have been seeing those Vaccination Rates across the country tick up again after being at a plateau for several weeks. That increase is especially being reflected in the states with the highest number of covid cases right now. Especially those states in the south like louisiana, like florida, that are really struggling with this Delta Variant and surging coronavirus cases. The president is also going to be talking about some of the efforts that hes seen from the private sector in the last week or so to begin to require vaccinations and we heard the white House Coronavirus Coordinator talk about that going forward requirements to be vaccinated and mandates are the kind of things that will be necessary if the united states is going to see the light of day at the other end of this pandemic. So you can expect to hear the president encourage the private sector to continue to take those steps. Already it was the president last week who announced that requirement that federal workers either be vaccinated or provide a negative Coronavirus Test in order to continue coming to work. That is the kind of model that the White House would like to see the private sector begin to do more and more. Just lastly, jim, well hear from the president in terms of these foreign donations. 110 Million doses of the Coronavirus Vaccine the u. S. Has distributed Around The World and hundreds of millions of more doses are soon to follow. That effort is important because the virus knows no borders. Jeremy diamond at the White House. Thanks so much. One of the nations largest School Districts forced into a 180 on masks after threats to withhold money from the governor of florida. The Broward County School board voted to mandate masks last week. That in line with Cdc Guidance because they are at a high Transmission Area for covid19. Thats the science. In response the governor signed an Executive Order threatening to cut State Funding to schools that do that, that require masks. Appears that threat worked. Rosa flores joins us on the phone from Everglades National Park on the phone because the governor is set to speak any moment now. What is the district saying about this change . They followed the Health Guidance but they had School Funding held over their heads. Reporter youre absolutely right. So many districts around this state are having those exact conversations. They are trying to figure out how to keep their students, their teachers safe. Meanwhile, complying with this Executive Order but they really feel like theyre hands are tied behind their back. Jim, the governor is expected to have a Press Conference here at 9 30. Normally we would be set up and i would have a live picture for you but the governor normally lets the press know with very little time with us to get to these press events. Today it was about two and a half hours to get to Everglades National Park so we scrambled here. Were setting up so we can ask the governor questions. Theres a lot of questions to ask the governor when you think of the number of cases in the united states, one out of five cases in the nation are recorded here in the state of florida. Think of hospitalizations. You look at the numbers this morning, they are more than 50,000 people hospitalized in the nation and more than 10,000 are right here in the state of florida. The Positivity Rate 18 . You were talking about children, the Positivity Rate for children is 22 . I talked to local officials here and their worry is their hands are tied behind their backs because of the restriction by governor desantis. We hope to ask some questions, jim. The health rules designed to protect those kids and their families. Lets see how the governor answers those questions. Rosa flores will bring us updates as they happen. Another state facing hardship now, students in oklahoma are going back to class next week but this is another state where nearly every county, look how red that is, is seeing high Covid Transmission rates. Joining me to discuss, a hospitalist in Eastern Oklahoma and also president of the Oklahoma Academy of family physicians. Doctor, very good to have you here. Just about a week ago you told a local Oklahoma Tv Station that nothing has changed when it comes to the vast majority of people getting sick and hospitalized. Its people who havent gotten the vaccine. Is that what youre seeing . Numbers are shocking here. Over 99 of those hospitalized are dying around the country are folks who remain unvaccinated. Yeah. Unfortunately thats true. Nothing really has changed. In fact, i think since the time i made those comments, things have gotten worse. Were seeing increased numbers of people being hospitalized. Majority of these are people who are not vaccinated. Positivity rates around 20 and in my e. R. Is over 40 . Average age of people getting infected in oklahoma is about 40 years old. Im seeing patients in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s now hospitalized for covid. People who if you walked by on The Street a week ago you would never think they would have a chance of being ill. Very healthy, young individuals. Is the worst you have seen it in the state of oklahoma since the start of this pandemic . Its certainly the worse that im feeling it partly because of the younger patients and how sick theyre presenting. Its better now that we have new treatments available and experience under our belt doing this. Its not as new of a pandemic as it was a year ago. On the other hand we have issues with hospital surges. One of the major hospitals that we refer to in the tulsa area, they had 50 holds in their e. R. With people with covid. Report i received yesterday is there was no ecmo beds and thats what we use to oxygenate the blood. There were no Icu Beds available in the state. Were getting called with people needing to transfer into us and were just a small hospital. When we have a bed, we have one bed available today and people have to go as far as eight hours away because we cant find beds. Let me ask you this. If this is the worst were seeing there, the difference is theres a vaccine. Lower than the national rate in terms of vaccinations in the state of oklahoma. Many people are vaccinated. If you see an outbreak like this now, how disturbing is that to you and what does it tell you about how tough it will be to hold back the Delta Variant in particular . Well, the Delta Variant is not being held back. Thats the problem. Its running rampant. We look at low Vaccination Rates around 50 . The thing i see in my area is an uptick is Vaccine Rates and pretty much everybody especially in a small town know somebody who has been vaccinated and now its hitting home. The question is how do we get that message out to people in the united states to do this before they get in a situation that were in right now. So i was going to ask you about that. What is driving the rise now . It does appear and weve seen this in other place, the fear and experience. Is it happening fast enough . Is that uptick in vaccinations happening fast enough to make a difference there . Not in my area. You remember if youre going to do a twoshot vaccine, theres several weeks between that and then another two weeks before youre fully vaccinated so you talk about six weeks. I needed these people to be vaccinated months ago and not right now. However, this is what weve got and this is what we can do. The only way we get this virus to quit spreading is people to engage in social Distancing And Masking and normal mitigation efforts we talked about and also to get vaccinated. I think its already out of the barrel. Weve got to do what we can now but i wish it was done months ago. And politics getting in the way of any of those measures. Doctor, we know you have a tough go of it there. We appreciate the work youre doing. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Some businesses are taking action against the Delta Variant as it spreads. Just this Morning Target said it will now require employees to wear masks regardless of vaccination status. To be clear these are employees working in stores not just at the Home Office like we saw with walmart. Target is suggesting that customers do the same. Cnns Business Reporter joins me now. Matt, is a difference. Companies across the spectrum, walmart in a limited way at headquarters but not in stores. You have target expanding this more broadly. How broadly are you seeing companies act like this on vaccinations . Corporate america is stepping up its restrictions. So what weve heard is that some companies are announcing these new restrictions for employees. New this Morning Tyson foods, one of The Worlds largest food companies, is requiring that its u. S. Workforce get vaccinated. This will begin for office workers october 1st. Kaiser permanente is requiring that physicians and employees get vaccinated by end of december. Target is requiring all employees wear masks in highrisk areas and Home Depot is requiring that all associates and contractors and vendors that they wear masks inside stores, offices, and Distribution Centers whether or not theyre vaccinated. Whats also new is companies are imposing new restrictions for customers as well. Equinox and Soul Cycle require proof of vaccination for riders and members. This begins in september in new York City but the company plans to roll that out everywhere. And the Executive Chairman explained his thinking on new day this morning. Heres what he said. We think now is an important time in reflection of whats going on can covid to protect our community further and best way to do that is to require vaccinations of riders, members and employees. Other companies are requiring new York City customers to be vaccinated including Restaurant Union square Hospitality And Morgan stanley. I think all of this shows how badly Business Leaders want to boost Vaccination Rates and how much they want to make customers feel safe. Good for health seems theyre calculating its good for business as well. Matt egan, Thank You. Still ahead, Simone Biles is back and brought home another olympic medal. Well be live from tokyo.

Cnn has learned now that two more d. C. Metropolitan Police Officers who responded to the insurrection on January 6th have taken their own lives. Officer Gunther Hashida was found in his home last week. Officer Kyle Defreytag was found dead on july 10th. Youve been covering this closely. Its always a difficult issue because suicide is a very personal thing. We cant know from the outside what the direct cause was but there is a common thread between four officers and that is stress and emotional damage of January 6th. Absolutely. I think what it highlights is that officers, not just in d. C. But all across the country, willingly run into attacks, run into trauma. They do that as part of the job. They take on the burden and that burden is immense. Let me tell you about the lives of these officers. Officer Kyle Defreytag joined Metropolitan Police department in 2016. Officer Gunther Hashida joined the Metropolitan Police department in 2003. He was part of the emergency response team, a division within the special operations division. He was found deceased in his home july 29th. That date is significant because it is two days after his colleagues went to lawmakers to outline their trauma and the attack they underwent on January 6th. One of those officers, officer harry dunn, made a plea for more resources and urgent plea to officers to seek health. Another officer, Metropolitan Police Department Officer knew hashida personally and said that he was incredibly quiet and reserved but the most professional officer he ever knew. He was softspoken but positive. Loved by everyone. There is no one in the Law Enforcement Profession loved by anyone. Most are not loved by some. Hashida was literally that guy. These steps are preceded by the death of jeffrey smith. Another Police Officer. And a kcapitol Police Officer wo took their lives less than a month after the January 6th insurrection. In this moment it is a heartbreaking string that threads them together. They faced a lot of stress that day. Well repeat these numbers later. If you need help, seek help. There are lots of ways to do that. Whitney wild, Thank You for telling us this story. We have the baltimore City Commissioner here this morning. I want to play what u. S. Capitol Police Officer dunn said last week in public testimony because this really gets to a key issue here for officers who face this kind of stress. Have a listen. I want to get your reaction. I want to take this moment to speak to my fellow officers they are continuing to experience from the events of January 6th. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional counseling. What we went through that day was traumatic and if you are hurting, please take advantage of the Counseling Services that are available to us. As you know, there can be stigma, right, for officers involved. They might be reluctant to seek help, fear of the consequences. Given your experience, i want to give you a chance to speak to folks who might face this kind of thing. Thats your advice to them . Jim, my advice is get help if you need it and we have to move past saying, oh, im not strong enough. Im not tough enough. Its okay. Youre a Police Officer, in any type of Law Enforcement position, if you need help, get the help. I need to speak to the managers, the police executives, the firstline supervisors, its your duty to be sure that the officers are fit for duty. If you see an officer that seems off, youve got a responsibility. If that means telling that officer, look, this is in your best interest. I need to take you out of the field. I need you to get a meantntal health evaluation, then do you it. We cant have officers walking around like this. You can clearly see those officers that testified are still suffering. Were not doing a were not doing a solid job with getting Officers Suicide Prevention training. Were not getting them the right treatment. If it means that your officers have to be pulled offline to get help, then you do it. Let me ask you because as whitney said, we dont know the circumstances of each of these. Theres a common thread and Thats Suicide on that day, that v violent day January 6th. As an officer yourself that served, can you explain what it might feel like officers to serve on a day like that and face that Danger And Attack and to hear public figures say it wasnt that big of a deal . Its quite disturbing to hear anyone say something like that. Youve never the ones running their mouths, these officers were Front Line in a domestic act of terrorism. And they survived it. They made it through. I can go back two decades and remember being in baltimore and a block decided that we werent going to take a prisoner to jail so we had to deal with an entire block in baltimore. Look at what these officers dealt with . I can still remember that day. What are they dealing with right now . We have to take better care of those who try to protect the united states of america, and this isnt cutting it. Some of this language thats being used in disgusting. That includes some Law Enforcement who say theyre not real police. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. And theyre heroes. I want to ask you this because ive heard when there have been suicide issues, Mental Health issues in other departments, that a fear of some officers is that if they come forward for help, theyll be penalized in some way. They may have their weapon take away or forced to do a desk job. I wonder in your experience, are there confidential ways to seek help. Are forces providing that path necessary to do this in a way where you think you wont face other consequences to encourage more people to seek help. Jim, Thats Part of it that has to be stopped. There can be no shame in it. If they need the help, get them the help. If youre a sergeant, lieutenant, captain, major, whatever rank you are, you better stand up and say hes getting help and mind your business and do your job. This is on so many levels and there is i got to say it again. Jim, let me tell you this. I lost ive lost three academy classmates to suicide. One hung himself, two others shot themselves. It is real. It happens. And theres no shame in it for what the job that youre required to do on a daily basis, it can happen. Be able to take care of yourself. Listen, i hope folks hear your words. Anthony barksdale, Thank You. Well do our part. Thank you, jim. If you or anyone you know is struggling, please call the suicide prevention lifeline. 18002738255.

Simone biles returned to competition to win the Bronze Medal on the balance beam. We go to tokyo. You said you were 20 yards away. Describe what that comeback was like and this win was like. For the first time at these games, in my experience there was an atmosphere. No spectators. Mostly Media Members from Around The World, some fellow athletes. They said to keep social distancing. Everyone standing to their feet when simone answered. My heart was pumping. One Media Member had Cardboard Cutouts of Simone Biless dog because she wanted to show love to her. Thats what this environment was like. She kept calm. I watched her. She stayed relabxed before this big moment and encouraged other gymnasts. When she got on that beam, its only four inches wide and she felt like she had the weight of The World on her shoulders at time. This is what she had to say afterwards about all those people that called her a quitter. It wasnt an easy decision to it hurts that people said she quit because i worked five years. Why would i quit . Ive been through so much over the past couple years in the sport. I just dont quit. Thats not what i do. But girls could see it. I knew they would get the job done. At the end of the day , were nt just athletes. Were human and we have real emotions and sometimes they dont realize that we have things going on behind the scenes that affects us when we go out and compete. Earning a silver in the Team Competition here, that Bronze Tonight on the beam, thats seven olympic medals in her career. She was already the greatest of all time but the way she shed light on Mental Health and said its okay to not be okay. Huge impact here in tokyo. Tied for the most medals for a gymnast. What a moment to witness. Joining me is author, amy. Its good to have you hear. I wonder if you could describe the Difficulty And Challenge of the turn that Simone Biles made. She came in with the weight of The World on her shoulders. She took this decision to step back but then i think you could argue a decision to step back into the ring in effect. I can only imagine the pressure. Yeah. She came in with predictions of five gold medals on her head which is just a crazy thing to really think about. And walking away with a Team Silver and bronze. Shes worth its weight in gold. Shes a seventime olympic medalist. 25 championships medals. There was never a question as to whether she was the great of all time. This shows that sports isnt a zero sum game. Sometimes we have to walk away with something other than a medal. Shes been a victim of the most shallow attacks politically motivated attacks on her. Lets set those aside for a moment. Tell us how athletes have responded to the stand she made there. I think athletes are grateful to be given the depth that they deserve. They dont stop being who they are when they hit the competition floor. They bring everything with them. For Simone Biles this past week, it was a week ago she withdrew from Team Competition. It was demons that we were able to label the twist and getting lost in the air. This goes further than that. You face a Press Conference and Michael Phelps has been talking about it. We need to take athletes seriously not for what they do in competition but what they do in their lives. It is a phenomenon. Underplayed what she was talking about because it was broader about the overall pressure. I just wonder in your experience what does this mean for younger competitors who look up to her because as you know, the pressure begins at a very young age. Theres this ladder. Each stage and the kids feel it. They feel it down into the single digits in age. What impact do you think this has beyond Olympic Competition . I really hope that one of the things we walk away with is to not just say shake it off or theres no crying in baseball but to speak up. One of the things that Simone Biles did in tokyo is look at her trainer and uneven bars and say i cant go up there. Say it out loud p. I hope Thats Something that kids can model moving forward. Just breaking that stigma of seeking help when you need it. Amy bass, we appreciate you coming on. Thanks.

With Voltaren Arthritis Pain gel my husbands got his moves back. An alternative to pain Pills Voltaren is the first full Prescription Strength Gel for powerful arthritis pain relief. Voltaren the joy of movement in georgia, most schools are not requiring masks in schools. Thats led to a wide range of conflicting policies. Two public schools had to start the year with virtual learning because there were so many Staff Members, teachers in quarantine. Im joined by the superintendent now of Clayton County. Two schools went virtual because the staff, not students, were in quarantine. You tweeted that you encouraged teachers and staff to get vaccinated but by not getting vaccinated, are they letting students down . Thank you, jim, for this opportunity. Here in Clayton County we started school yesterday. Over 50,000 students went back to school. As youve shared, two schools we started virtually in light of the data and potential of spreading the virus. We decided that it would be best to give them three days to ensure Staff Members were safe. We did not want to contribute to a situation where students could potentially get infected. We balanced rights and responsibilities and our reason. We made that decision. Should teachers be vaccinated . Should they be vaccinated . Jim, im vaccinated. We believe that all of us should be vaccinated if were eligible to be vaccinated. Were not mandating it but we think its the right thing to do, its the responsible thing to do, and its the reasonable thing to do if we expect as a nation to get this pandemic over with. So as you know, some folks including teachers, although most we should acknowledge in the country have been vaccinated, but some, like other americans, are refusing to and some might have Health Questions about it or others. What do you say to teachers who havent been vaccinated yet . How do you encourage them to do so . Well, the three words that i like to share of course thats their right but i want to also share that all of our rights should be tempered by our responsibilities and we should be reasonable and we should think about our children. We should think about the vulnerable. We should think about our society, our recovery, and, of course, we want to ensure that our students have the opportunity to attend school every Day Face to face. If the vaccination helps to that end, thats the reasonable, right, and responsible thing to do. So this is a question particularly as the Delta Variant spreads, you may have you may face more questions about going to remote earlearni. The union that represents many teachers around the country oppose to date a vaccine mandate. If you begin to see what you have seen already in georgia, schools having to go remote again, do you believe that organizations should mandate vaccines for teachers . I dont think thats their role to mandate vaccination. However, they will have a voice and all of us collectively that have the responsibility of educating children at every level of society, we should understand the science, be reasonable, understand our Responsibility And Balance that with our right to be vaccinated and lets all do the right thing. If that means getting vaccinated, lets all get vaccinated if were eligible. So the other piece of this, of course, is masking because to date you have to be 12 and up to get a vaccine. Many students are not. And you see Cdc Guidance is for students to mask but you have seen political leaders, florida among them, basically ban mandating masks around students. Whats your reaction to that . Well, here in Clayton County, we require masks. Were in a state that allows us to do so, we believe that we have a right to determine whether or not we wear a mask. Weve exercised that right. At the same time we have a responsibility. If the science tells us through reason that masks help reduce the likelihood of transmitting the virus, it seems to us that it stands to reason to protect our children and vulnerable, our teachers and Bus Drivers and others that we should be responsible and wear masks. Therefore, in Clayton County, we have decided to lean in the direction of mandating masks in our schools on our premises. Im sure youve taken some flak for that from some. What do you say to parents when they oppose a measure like that . Our response is always consistent. Were being responsible. Were being reasonable. And we appreciate their support. While we understand the differences, we understand their rights, we also understand that we have a responsibility collectively as a society, as a community, to do what is right to bring this pandemic to an end. To your credit for taking Flak And Sticking to your guns and we wish you the best of luck as you face this going forward. Thank you, jim. Glad to be here. The governor of new york, andrew cuomo, was grilled for 11 Hours Part of a Sexual Ha harassment allegation. Could that be reaching a conclusion . New details coming up. We have New Details concerning the sexual Harassment Inquiry into andrew cuomo. He was questioned for 11 hours under oath last month. Several women have accused cuomo of inappropriately touching them or making offensive remarks. The governor denies ever inappropriately touching or harassing anyone. Erica hill has been following this story and she joins us now. Erica, i mean 11 hours of questioning seems to indicate a very serious investigation. Reporter so 11 hours as you point out that the governor was apparently questioned about his treatment of women. And that stems from, as you said, jim, multiple allegations ever either Workplace Misconduct or Sexual Harassment. Now as you pointed out, the governor has denied inappropriately touching anyone and he also said in i statement this year in response to some of the allegations that he was sorry, his comments may have been insensitive or too personal and sorry so those who may have misinterpreted them. Just the fact that the governor was interviewed on July 17th so many is signaling this this investigation by the new York Attorney general could be nearing an end. We dont have a timeline from the a. G. We were told there would be a public report when this wraps up. We reached out to the Attorney General reporting at times the 11hour Marathon Session at times there were tense moments, specifically the governor questioning the Independence And Fairness of one of the investigators who had been involved in past investigations involving the governor and his allies. So from the Attorney General, this spokesperson giving us the statement noting the attempts to undermine and politicize this process are dishonest and take away from the bravery displayed by these women. A lot of interest in this report and a lot of questions, once we learned that the governor was going to be interviewed, that this could perhaps signal that this investigation is nearing an end, is wrapping up again as we wait on the public report, jim. Well be watching for it. We should know the state Attorney General leading it is also a democrat. Erica hill, great to have you on the story. The Broward County public School District in florida forced to back down on a mandate for masks for students, teachers. Why . The States Governor Ron Desantis threatened to cut funding for money for the school if they didnt move forward with restrictions.
