Then. Patrick oppman is joining us from havana, cuba. Patrick, what more are you hearing about the impact, what happened And the calamity . Reporter well, were starting to hear from survivors of this earthquake, talking about buildings crashing down around them, people having to run for their lives. And of course the initial reports of fatalities. It will probably take days or longer to know exactly how many people have lost their lives, but there are reports of bodies in rubble. There are also pictures of people near the epicenter receiving aid, so there appears to be some sort of organization, people being pulled from the rubble, people being treated, And there are pictures of buildings that are still stAnding. So that does appear to be somewhat positive as well, the fact that this not happen in the capital of portauprince where the 2010 quake took And-cost'>Place And Cost hundreds of thousAnds of lives is really positive. But really for the people who are in the poor southwestern community, these towns that were struck by this earthquake, a terrifying scene. People obviously dont have all the help they need just yet. They are still facing Tsunami Threat aftershocks, And it could be a long, long time before help is able to reach them. This is a country that has been hard hit by national disasters And the assassination of their president And now they are facing a tropical storm approaching in the next several days, so certainly continuing tragedy for the haitian people. They clearly Need Help right now because people are still being pulled from the rubble And it may be some time, fred, before we know exactly how many people have died here, but just a terrifying scene. What do we know about its proximity to portauprince, the comparisons of this smaller town, but still clearly very populated . Reporter absolutely. Tens of thousAnds of people live in this area. Its a very poor area. Im told this is a peninsula, its the southwest of portauprince. So that really is the only good news, if theres any good news, is that the main Population Center was not hit, as heavily impacted as it was in the 2010 quake. But of course for the people who live in these small coastal communities, of course you have a Tsunami Threat now, theyre going to continue to have aftershocks. This is a quake that was felt in jamaica, the dominican republic, even eastern cuba. So it was felt throughout the caribbean. A very, very powerful quake. The epicenter, though, in this small coastal community in haiti And it just devastated cathedrals, homes, a lot of these places just dont have the kind of Building Materials or buildings that are built strong enough to withstAnd anything like this, And those buildings we are hearing And seeing came collapsing down on people, obviously costing many people their lives. We just dont know how many yet. It will probably take days before theres any kind of estimate. And for the injured now, its a race against time to get them the help they need. Certainly in the midst of a pAndemic, it just makes a complicated situation even more so for these people who need And-need'>Help And Need help now. Patrick oppmann, thank you so much from havana. Who can forget 20 tn10 And the devastation And now this is to occur not far from portauprince. I want to bring in now Allison Chinchar from the weather center. This is multi fold because while youre also watching these named storms, fred And grace, this is a different Natural Disaster that youve been watching. Tell me about the evolution of this 7. 2 Magnitude QuakeAnd what we know about it. And unfortunately for haiti, they could end up getting hit with both. Yes, the 7. 2 quake, depth of 10 kilometers or 6 miles. It was a little farther west of The Big One in 2010. Heres a map to show some perspective. This is portauprince. This is where the quake in 2010 occurred. This is the one that happened this morning, a little bit farther west but a little bit stronger. One good thing is that it was farther away from the biggest populated area, but again slightly stronger. It was also very shallow too, only about 6 miles deep. Anything 44 miles or less is considered shallow, even though i know 44 miles doesnt Sound Shallow in terms of geologic scale, it is. One thing to notice, the population. Over half A Million people felt whats considered very strong shaking. 5 Million people feeling moderate shaking, not just in haiti but some of the surrounding countries as well. You do have whats considering an orange for economic losses. Its obvious to see that when you see some of the buildings And damage thats already taken place across this area of haiti. One thing to note, these buildings have become structurally compromised because of the main quake. Any further aftershocks will continue to do additional damage. Even if you dont have a building thats maybe fallen down now, it could with some of the subsequent aftershocks. Weve already had one 5. 2 or larger. You average about 10 that size with an initial quake at about a 7. 2. So youve had 5. 2 And several 4s in the mix of this particular quake. Liquefaction will still be a concern. Basically when the earthquake happens, it destabilizes the Soil UnderneathAnd it mixes in with the groundwater. Basically that ground just becomes liquefied. One thing to note on top of it, fred, is the impacts potentially from tropical Storm Grace because haiti at least as of right now is still in the cone to have impacts from this on monday. So that could be another factor. Again, talking about Rain Hindering some of the recovery efforts. Still so much more ahead potentially. Allison chinchar, thank you so much for that. Now turning to the coronavirus And the critical situation unfolding in the u. S. As the Delta Variant spirals out of control. Its an unimaginable Deja Vu for some hospitals forced to build Overflow Facilities just as they did at the height of the pAndemic last year. I mean take a look at these sidebyside images shot a year apart. Nearly identical. Beds lining makeshift tents set up in Hospital Parking lots, icus are overflowing, doctors And nurses are overwhelmed. I mean, again, just look, last year on one side of your screen And now currently. In oregon, the governor is even calling up the national guard to help hAndle the influx of patients. Eight states now make up half of all u. S. Hospitalizations. This new surge is being inflamed by the unvaccinated. Children still unable to get the vaccine are now more at risk than ever. In dallas we have zero Icu Beds left for children. That means if your child is in a car wreck, if your child has a heart congenital Heart DefectAnd needs an Icu Bed or more than likely if they have covid And need an Icu Bed, we dont have one. Your child will wait for another child to die. Cnns Adrienne Broadus is in jackson, mississippi. The number of cases is on the rise there AndState Health officials are very concerned about the death toll. Reporter fredricka, they are. The state reported more than 5,000 new cases on friday And 31 deaths. The State Health official said they have noticed a trend over the last four days, folks who are dying have been unvaccinated, at least people in their 20s who were completely healthy prior to being diagnosed with the covid19 being diagnosed with covid19. Right now we are inside of the Mississippi ColiseumAnd this is where friends, family And members of Law Enforcement are preparing to say goodbye to the heinz county sheriff, lee vance, he was 63. The coroner said he died because of covid complications. This is what Health OfficialsAnd members of the community do not want to see happen. About two miles away from here, a parking garage, the lower level of it, has been transformed into a covid unit. Now, we want to be very clear, that parking garage, that space will not treat severely ill patients with covid but it is for patients who need minimal care. For example, they might need oxygen. So if you step inside of that area where cars are normally parked, you will see hospital beds. One doctor warns the state cannot continue at this pace. If we do not change the course that were headed to, we are headed toward our darkest hours, darkest days. This surge is going to be much, much worse than what were anticipating it, unfortunately, than what it was several months ago. If we do not take action now, were going to be in a lot of trouble. Were not going to have the ability to care for people. Reporter the states governor, tate reeves, called this wave four of the pAndemic. He made it clear he is still not going to initiate a statewide Andate'>Mask MAndate, but inside of the coliseum, Youll Notice behind me its set up to social distance for those who come to pay their respects. Fredricka. Oh, my gosh. This is incredibly unsettling. Thank you so much, adrienne broaddus, appreciate that. So with these new covid cases surging, the cdc is now recommending that some immune compromised people get a third dose of the vaccine. The new guidance applies to Organ Transplant recipients, people diagnosed with certain cancers And people on certain immunesuppressing Prescription Medicines. Here now to talk about this, cnn medical And-author'>Analyst And Author of lifelines, a Doctors Journey in the fight for public health, dr. Leana wen. Doctor, so good to see you. Sadly, i feel like you And so many others made a forecast that this just might be the corner we would be turning yet one more time. So talk to me about what you think the prospect is for particularly the immunocompromised for getting a third shot. Well, where we are in the country right now, fred, is very, very concerning. I mean were clearly seeing an additional surge that is much sooner than we might have anticipated. Some of us thought we might see a Surge Come Via Wintertime but now were having a surge in the summer when this was supposed to be the quiet period. Of course thats due to the Delta Variant. But so many people are at risk, including those who are unvaccinated And not by choice, like our young kids. I do think that the cdc made the right decision And the fda as well in allowing for those who are immunocompromised to get the additional dose of the vaccine because we know that these are individuals who did not mount enough of an immune response the first time. These are also individuals who are particularly susceptible to severe outcomes from covid19. And so this will help them become safer. Although we have to emphasize too that these are individuals who are still at risk And they should still continue to mask in indoor settings And the best way to protect those who are immunocompromised is for all of us who are eligible to get the vaccine to do so. Do you believe while right now a third dose for the immunocompromised, do you see on the horizon this will be a necessity really for everyone whos been vaccinated with the two doses . I definitely think that it should be an option for those who already are fully vaccinated to get an additional Booster Dose at some point. We have evidence from other countries that immunity does seem to be waning over time. Were other countries like israel, germany And others that are allowing for individuals, for example, who are older with chronic medical illnesses to get a booster as well. And so i do see that happening in the u. S. I also think that at this point people really should be discussing with their doctors about what their actual risk is because, yes, there are people who are severely immunocompromised, thats very clear. Organ transplant patients, people on immunotherapy. But there are other patients who are on the edge in some way. We know that you are immunocompromised if you are on dialysis but what if you have chronic renal failure, are not on dialysis but have high Risk Exposure because youre an essential worker. You should be talking to your doctor about whether a Booster Shot makes sense for you based on your individual medical circumstance. You mentioned an option. So while right now its available And recommended for the immunocompromised, you say it should be an option for everybody else. How will you be assessing whether you should go for a third Booster Shot if it becomes available for everybody . Youre saying there still are some cAndidates who they dont necessarily need to get it And you should act on this as an option . What do you mean . Well, there is a category of people as defined by the cdc who look like they should be getting that Booster Shot now. Those individuals should still talk to their doctors because, for example, somebody on chemotherapy, there might be an optimal time for them to get the booster depending on when theyre getting their chemotherapy, so they should talk to their doctor anyway before going to get that Booster Dose. Then there are some individuals who may have highRisk Exposure who also have chronic medical conditions that make them immunocompromised in some way. May not formally meet the criteria by the cdc, but i think they should talk to their doctors. The reason i talk about options is so much of clinical medicine is about the nuance. I dont think that people who are healthy, have no chronic underlying medical conditions should be going out to get a Booster Dose. But if you have some underlying medical conditions that may make you immunocompromised in some way, i think its a good idea to talk to your doctors. Dr. Wen, good to see you. Thank you for all that information And the added advice. Appreciate it. Thank you. Still to come in the newsroom, unraveling by the day.

In afghanistan, the Taliban Today seizing control of at least one more provincial capitals. More than half have fallen into taliban hAnds. The militant group is now closing in on the Capital City of kabul. A Pentagon Spokesman telling cnn they were surprised by how quickly the taliban was able to grab territory. What we couldnt predict was the lack of resistance that they were going to get from Afghan Forces on the ground. As you heard the president speak just a couple of days ago, whats really needed is for political And military leadership in afghanistan. No outcome has to be inevitable. They are using the air force. In fact theyre flying more Air Strikes than we are on a daily basis, but Money Cant Buy will. Will has to be there. The ability to exert leadership And exude leadership on the field, that has to be there. 3,000 u. S. Troops are arriving this weekend to help protect the u. S. Embassy as they prepare to draw down personnel in that country. Staff are also being told to destroy sensitive documents before they go. Cnn diplomatic editor Nic Robertson joining us now. Nic, the afghan president earlier today gave a Brief Statement where he said he would work with other leaders to try to stem the taliban surge. I mean this is a lifeline it sounds like that is being thrown. Reporter yeah, its a lifeline but theres nothing on the end of it for the afghan people. He started his speech by saying, look, he understood that afghans were concerned. He shared those concerns, said that he was speaking with other members of the government, other political leaders, elders in the country, all politicians And also sort of international partners. But when you are waiting for that moment of whats at the end of the line, whats he actually going to tell the people, is he going to tell them the way forward out of this current predicament he said no. He said they were working to try to find a way to minimize the loss of life And destruction. So we dont know which way the president of afghanistan is headed at the moment. We do know that the taliban leaders who are there in And-qatar'>Doha And Qatar who have been negotiating with afghan officials in qatar, who negotiated there with u. S. Officials for so long, that the qatari government is putting pressure on the taliban as well to come to some sort of ceasefire And save the blood shed. The reality on the ground entirely different. As you say, that 18th Provincial Capital to fall today in the east of afghanistan, close to the border with pakistan. If you look at today And try to see the significance of that particular gain, then look to the neighboring province. The capital of that one barely an hours drive from the capital. That is under attack. I spoke to a commAnder in the northern city where taliban are attacking that. The last major government controlled city in the north of the country. That commAnder there told me that three times today the taliban have taken control of the gates, the edge of the city. The government has managed to push them back. So that battle in flux. The reality on the ground is the taliban keep taking ground. The more ground they take, they get more weapons And ultimately its all coming to that pressure on kabul. Hence the need to destroy those sensitive documents that have been accumulating now across almost two decades in the embassy there in kabul. So many caught by surprise by the Talibans UprisingAnd that its happening so quickly. U. S. General robert abrams, an active Duty Fourstar General who served in afghanistan actually tweeted out this, that it was Gut Wrenching for him to watch what was happening And said, quoting now, progress made but In The End not sustained, heart breaking. So is that the sentiment that you are hearing from so many others who served in afghanistan . Reporter absolutely. Were hearing the same sentiment from the british. Its not just the drawdown of, of course u. S. Forces, two And a half thousAnd drawn out but 7,000 nato forces have gone And they are expressing concern themselves about that blood thats been shed, the treasure thats been shed, And whats left on the ground. Ive spoken to afghan officials about this And they say, look, its not just the lack of close Air Support that has taken some of the morale away from the afghan government forces, they say that the international forces were so closely embedded with those Afghan Forces on the ground, the Afghan Forces put their faith in that sort of separate chain of commAnd, that separate Information Structure that would give them And-advice'>Guidance And Advice about how to prosecute their battles defagai the taliban. But with the Removal Or Reduction of that close Air SupportAnd removal of the troops, so too those special advisers pulled out And the Afghan Forces on the ground not trusting their chain of commAnd all the way back to central government And weakened by it. So had sa. Nic robertson, thank you so much. Still ahead, heated confrontations over masks. Its playing out across the country.

That after the State Court of appeals issued two separate rulings against Governor Greg abbotts Executive Order banning county Andate'>Mask MAndates. The governor had been attempting to overturn lower court decisions blocking the enforcement of his order against Andate'>Mask MAndates. Governor abbott is expected to appeal to the texas supreme court. Meantime, the u. S. Education department is urging governors to follow the science, sending letters to texas Governor AbbottAndFlorida GovernorRon Desantis opposing their efforts to override School Mask requirements. Secretary Miguel Cardona calling their efforts deeply concerning as covid cases And hospitalizations skyrocket in their respective states. In fact the mayor of Miami Beach is now calling on governor desantis to reconsider his order, saying the States Policy is Back Firing in tragic ways. Cnns Leyla Santiago has more on what is being felt in south florida. Reporter five days before Classroom Doors are set to open in Broward County, florida, two teachers And one Teaching Assistant have died within about 24 hours of Each Other from covid19related complications. All three of them were unvaccinated. The county Teachers Union said there are a lot of people that have still not gotten the vaccination And it is becoming a deadly thing for them not to be vaccinated. Reporter 138 of about 35,000 employees have tested positive for covid19 since august 1st, according to the county covid dashboard. Were living it right here real in Broward County. Reporter this seat the end a tense week dominated by Ron Desantis taking on School Districts over Andate'>Mask MAndates. The governor threatening to withhold salaries from School Board members And superintendents choosing to override his Executive Order that essentially prohibits Andate'>Mask MAndates in schools, although unclear if And how that would happen. If youre coming after the rights of parents in florida, im stAnding in your way. Are you going to bully him into wearing your mask . Reporter some School Districts fighting back. In broward, the School Board voted this week to keep its Andate'>Mask MAndate in place as some parents protested outside the meeting. We feel strongly that the lives of our students And staff are invaluable And were not willing to play Russian Roulette with their lives. Reporter cnn looked into how many parents are planning to actually opt out of masks for their kids. Parents of about 4 of students opted out in And-palm'>Orange And Palm Beach County public School Districts. In duval county, 8 . Hillsborough county, approximately 15 . Same in lee county. In palm Beach County, where school started this week, father of two michael says that he thinks parents should not be able to opt out at all. Just because you have rights doesnt mean you have no responsibilities. And i think youve got to take the responsible thing And let your kid wear a mask in school. Reporter Shawn Sykes disagrees. It comes back to personal responsibility. Im not going to tell anybody what to do but they should support the fact that we may feel differently. Reporter some kids will be going masked And others maskless in the same classrooms as the debate And public Health Crisis continue. And the superintendent here in Broward County doubling down, telling the State Education Commissioner in a letter that she plans to move forward with a Andate'>Mask MAndate that has no optouts available for parents, something that the governor has said is noncompliant with his Executive Order. Leyla santiago, cnn, ft. Lauderdale. Joining me now to discuss, Becky Pringle, the president of the national Education Association. Its the nations largest union And represents more than 3 Million educators. So good to see you, becky. So what is your reaction to the deaths of those three Broward County educators just days before the first day of school . Its good to be with you again, fredricka. You know, i have been saying the same thing from the beginning of this pAndemic. As a teacher of middle level learners, the wonders of science for over 30 years, i have been very clear. Follow the science. Listen to the Infectious Disease ExpertsAnd work in collaboration with educators And parents AndCommunity MembersAndHealth Care officials to do whats right for our students. It is unacceptable that we are having a debate about whether to wear masks. It is not about a right. It is about a responsibility. And we know that wearing masks is an important, absolutely important, necessary strategy to keep our students safe. And we must do everything we possibly can to do just that. So there are the issues of masks And vaccines as well. Your union, the national Education Association, announced support for Vaccine Requirements or that teachers submit to regular testing. This was just this past week. But why now with schools already in session . I mean it will be six weeks, right, before anyone whos fully vaccinated is protected. Why wasnt that message sent earlier in the summer to encourage teachers who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated before School Starts . Fredricka, were following the science. We know now that the Delta Variant is more virulent, it is increasing the rates of infections. It is having a greater impact on our youth, our students. Were seeing childrens hospitals being overrun by sick children. As we get more information, we must do better. This is not new for us to talk about vaccines And how important they are for the School Population or everyone to be vaccinated. That makes everyone safer. Weve been calling for that from the very beginning of the vaccinations being available. In fact you know, fredricka, we encouraged the president to actually make sure that educators had priority in terms of vaccinations And that happened. And then we got to work. We made sure that our educators had access And availability, ease of getting the vaccination, having more information, And thats why 90 of our educators are actually vaccinated already. Isnt the case that 90 of your members within the union are vaccinated, but that still leaves an awful lot of teachers who are not vaccinated. Do you feel like instead of allowing this latitude of it being an option, do you feel like it should be a requirement, a requirement that is imposed on all of those leading classrooms, particularly those under the age of 12, to be vaccinated . Fredricka, i want to be clear. Everyone who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated. We know that the fda is perhaps weeks away from that final approval And we believe that that will actually increase rates. But we know that those people who are working with our students, the only way we can keep them safe is to make sure theyre vaccinated. The fact that 90 of our members are vaccinated is evidence that they understAnd how important this Mitigation Strategy is. And we are leading on encouraging everyone in the community, all parents, Community Members, everyone. We know that right now our students under 12 cant get vaccinated. Its our responsibility to keep them safe. Keeping them safe means that everyone who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated. Of course we have to have accommodations And thats why we called for the regular testing. We know that there are people who cannot be vaccinated And so we have to have those accommodations. And any kind of requirement, we must work collectively with our educators where theres collective bargaining, we need to employ that strategy so that as a community we will do whats right for our students. Miss pringle, i wonder what your reaction is. How stunned are you to see that there are people protesting outside of schools saying unmask our children, And there are children And parents who are now expressing how uncomfortable that is making them feel as kids go to school . You know, fredricka, i have an 8yearold grAndson. In fact he lived with me during most of the pAndemic. He just went back to new York City to go back to inperson learning. And i can tell you as a grAnd parent, i want all of his classmates And educators to be masked when you goes back to school. The reason i want that is because the science is clear that masks protect people from contracting this virus. There just is no excuse why we are having a debate about a Mitigation Strategy we know works. We have to put all of those in place, the vaccines, the masking, the cleaning, all of that, the distancing, because heres the thing, fredricka, we want to start this School Year with all of our students back Toinperson Learning safely And equitably. We have the resources in place right now to do just that. It is irresponsible of politicians to be Playing Politics with our students And putting them at risk by saying we Cant Use that Mitigation Strategy. And i understAnd that. You as a Science Teacher too, it is clear you are backing the science. But then what is your message to they are not politicians in some of these cases, they are just regular people, parents themselves, who are holding signs saying unmask our kids. And in some cases are actually harassing others because they support masks. Whats your message to them . You know, fredricka, we teach our students from the time they step into a classroom that harassing other people is unacceptable. Bullying is unacceptable. So that should not be happening. But i was listening to those statistics, as we were beginning our conversation. And they are very low of parents who dont want their students to be masked. That means that the vast majority of parents agree with me, agree with the science, agree with educators that the students And educators should be masked. And so we need to lift their stories up And their voices up because they are in the vast, vast majority. It is absolutely essential that parents AndCommunity Members lift up their voices, they talk with Each Other. It is about our collective responsibility to keep our students safe. Mrs. Pringle, president Becky Pringle of the nea, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Be well. Thank you, fredricka. Stay safe. Thank you. And well be right back. Plus have high Blood Pressure.

Data from 2020 shows the nation of immigrants is now more diverse And more multi racial than ever before. Cnns Tom Foreman has a closer look at the numbers. Reporter look at this whopping number, 331. 4 million people in the u. S. Thats what the Census Bureau came up with. Thats growth. The slowest growth in about a century, they say, but still it is growth. And look at the Change Weve seen. Yes, in most places in this country, nonhispanic white people are the majority or the plurality by a solid margin in many, many places, but there is real movement among different groups. Look at the growth among hispanic or latino communities. Thats quite large. So much so that they are now the largest Ethnic Group in california AndNew MexicoAnd making real strides in places like texas too. Heres something that was a bit of a surprise. The number of people who say they are some other race or a mixed ethnicity, almost 50 Million people said this. Thats a big jump. Some of this is real, some of it is really happening, And some of it is just that the Census Bureau is allowing people to selfidentify that way a little more precisely than in the past, so thats bumped that number up. Its still a trend worth watching. All of these trends are being watched. You know why . Because these numbers are how you determine your representation in congress. And the moment these numbers came out, people in the political parties on both sides started saying are we going to pick up any new congressional districts, like they will in florida And in texas, or are we going to lose some, as they are in some other places, And how do we draw the district lines to maximize the impact of our voters And minimize the impact of the other sides voters. Thats where all these dry numbers turn into real political action with real consequences. Tom foreman, thank you so much for that look. And well be right back.

Com President Biden is calling on congress to address Drug Prices. Rachel crane has more on this episode of mission ahead. Reporter america has a drug problem. On average, americans spend 1200 a year on prescription drugs, more than any other country. With congress stalled on Finding A fix, new startups are stepping in with solutions of their own. I was working with a pulmonologist, his patients needed a drug, And two of the patients had died because they were not able to afford the drug. Reporter this doctor started the Mark CubanCost Plus Drug company, after seeing his Patients Health suffer when they couldnt afford medications. With Mark Cuban as key investor, they sell low cost versions of high cost generic drugs with two approaches, by making drugs themselves And by cutting out middle men in the supply chain. We went to a pharmaceutical manufacturer, why dont we buy this from you direct, well make more out of the deal, believe it or not. They lowered the price of a drug. When Drug Prices drop, many cant take advantage, often times Drug Prices arent listed anywhere. I have the experience of taking a prescription into a pharmacy, And the pharmacist said it would be 500. Went to a few other pharmacies, found way different prices, 250, 4 hu 400. He saved americans over 30 Billion in prescriptions. Prices for prescriptions And other medical services, so the consumer knows what theyll pay. Might be a Manufacturer Discount or another drug that does the same that is a tenth of the price. That can have positive health consequences. Nearly 30 of patients say they dont take medicine as prescribed due to cost. Something that happens all the time. I think a lot of people are working on a simultaneously And hopefully can be part of the solution. Reporter rachel crane, cnn, new york.
