And of course the goal is to get as many back in the classroom while keeping the covid cases town. Delta variant is still dominating and we know that there are vastly different rules governing school districts. So that is why health Experts Health experts to exceed the Goal Stick to the science. Whatre seeing is a mixed bag of mask adherence, some requiring masks, others not, others making laws against, and others only making it mandatory for the unvacci unvaccinated. One thing is for sure this fall, the School Year will be anything but normal for students yet again, which gets me to the next thing well be looking for the in the coming months when kids under 12 will be able to get the vaccine. Its obviously taking longer than parents sending their young children Back To School feel good about as we see the Delta Variant is finding the unvaccinated. Trial data is still being gathered. Once thats done, it will be submitted to the fda. Pfizer thinks it will be able to hand in its information by september, and file for Emergency Use Authorization by october according to a doctor who sits on the pfizers board. Of course, dr. Fauci says in the meantime, best to keep those who cant get vaccinated safe, surround them with people who are vaccinated. This fall well be keeping an eye on the hospitals, and how the Booster Shot will impact covid cases, particularly against the Delta Variant. Pfizer has submitted information to the fda and the Booster Rollout is coming soon. Modernas booster will lag behind. Well be also looking ahead to September 17th when Israels Health officials will brief the fda about the efficacy of the thirD Dose. Administering the Booster Shot to vaccinated people since august 1st, as we know. Jim. Its been a difficult month for President Biden, entering arguably the most critical few months of his presidency. F Phil Mattingly is live at the White House. Reporter from White House officials it was an august to forget that has given away to a daunting cement. Its one where youre going to see an aggressive posture from President Biden and White House officials according to officials im talking to starting with the coronavirus pandemic. Were expecting the president this week to give major remarks related to the pandemic. Keep in mind, the ability to kind of wrangle and handle the pandemic was one of the driving elements of the president s Approval Ratings up to this point. Those Approval Ratings have dropped on net. Officials believe a focus on the pandemic and the real tools they have to address it is critical to bringing ratings back up and more importantly restoring confidence in a country that has been in the midst of malaise. Now, that will come in parallel to a major push on the domestic legislative front. The president has two items moving in tandem. A 1. 2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Aides have been working behind the scenes feverishly to draft the details of the bill. Congressional committees, White House officials have basically a September 15th deadline to finalize the details. They also have a deadline on the infrastructure proposal. House democrats agreeing to a September 27th deadline, between moderates and Speaker Nancy Pelosi to consider that legislation. In the weeks ahead, pretty much the core. Everything the president has laid out for the legislative agenda on the economic side will have to be done in the next few weeks. Its quite a needle to thread. One thing to keep in mind, afghanistan isnt going away. Officials want to focus on domestic issues but they recognize afghanistan is still a very real issue on their plates. As one house democrat told me, if they think this is leaving, theyre kidding themselves. September 14th, secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to testify. Thank you, Phil Mattingly. So much, of course, happening on Capitol Hill as you heard phil talking about there. Lets head to Lauren Fox to discuss that. This is quite the battle ahead when it comes to the biden agenda. Well, thats exactly right, brianna. Look, you only have a matter of weeks to get some must pass legislation through the house and senate. One of the top priorities, of course, is funding the government. Without cooperation from both republicans and trdemocrats, youre going to miss the September 28th deadline and a have a shut down. Democrats are also looking to raise the debt ceiling. This is potentially problematic. You have 46 senate republicans who have signed a letter saying they arent going to help. You need 60 votes, which means you are already starting short on the votes you need. Thats going to be another major show down this fall. The Treasury Department can take extraordinary measures but only for so long, brianna. You also of course had that Infrastructure Agenda that phil mentioned and thats going to be a tough high Wire Act for house Speaker Nancy Pelosi because she can only lose three votes, and she has to keep her moderate members and progressive members on board with both a bipartisan proposal and that 3. 5 trillion proposal that would reimagine the safety net. You also have in the backdrop, the January 6th probe, which of course is going to put more political emphasis on what is already a very tough and long agenda of must pass items ahead. Brianna. You are going to be busy, Lauren Fox, thank you so much, live for us on Capitol Hill. The Supreme Court is also in the spotlight after the majority allowed a near total Abortion Ban in texas to go into effect. And arian De Vogue is with us on this. Tell us the latest. The clinics are reeling that the Supreme Court put the law into effect that brings suit against somebody whos assisting in an abortion. The clinics are trying this threepart strategy, on the ground, in courts, and pressuring the court. On the ground, of course, they have to help these women who are trying to travel across State Lines to get the abortion that they cant get, and then in the other areas, theyre trying to go in court because of course this law has now been blocked. And they want to get back into court but in order to get back e into court, the procedure has to be performed. Its kind of a catch 22, what to do. Theyre trying a piecemeal approach, and that piecemeal approach would be to go and try and get temporary Restraining Orders against some of these vigilantes, but that sort of piece by piece and then they hope to eventually get to the texas Supreme Court. And finally theyre trying to put pressure on the government here, bring the force of the federal government. And we saw already Merrick Garland yesterday, say he was going to use a law on the books, thats supposed to bar people from intimidating women in front of clinics. Hes hoping to use that. There are other ideas being floated. Going forward here, you have to look at a few things, the future of roe, the Supreme Court is going to be examining that in a mississippi case. You have to think about conservatives are a little bit worried here, right, because if you can bring this against abortion, could a vigilante do it in regards to the second amendment. So Thats Something to be to take into consideration, and of course people are still liberals are still wondering if Justice Breyer is going to retire. Thats something well look at. Hell be under increased pressure. Theyre still pressuring him. When is he going to do it if hes going to do it. Hes facing a lot of pressure. Thank you so much for that. Thank you. Well, in the world of entertainment, coronavirus will have a major impact on everything from sports to movies. Lisa france joins us now. Reporter yeah, when it comes to Pop Culture and movies, and tv and sport, everybody wants to get back to where we were prior to the pandemic but its complicated. Broadway has really led the way in terms of requiring vaccinations. Theyve also created positions like the covid safety manager. In an attempt to keep everybody safe and have them return to the theaters. They also have been doing a lot of testing. Movie production has been doing the same thing. Theyre testing everyone, trying to make sure that people can film as safely as possible. Theyre requiring masks. The question is going to be, will people return to the theaters, especially now that they have had more than 18 months, in order to get comfortable with watching movies, and that seems to really depend on are we going to see the death of family returning to the Movie Theater in mass, in whole because people were concerned with the Delta Variant for their children too young to be vaccinated. For some of them they dont have a problem, and we know Family Movies are big business for hollywood. Sports teams have been very active, making sure their athletes get tested. When it comes to the spectators, people are falling on different sides, you know, do you require vaccinations. Do you not. But when we as people watching these sporting events, we see huge crowds. You Cant Help but think is the Delta Variant running rampant. A lot of crowded College Football stadiums. Lisa france, thank you very much. Thank you. Dr. Anthony fauci will join us live. Kids are going back it to school. When will americans expect Booster Shots and what we know about the dangerous variant.

Many of you getting those kids ready for school right now. It comes with concerns over an increasing number of Coronavirus Infections. Theres also news of new variants. The united states has been averaging around 160,000 new Coronavirus Infections per day. Deaths also quite high and in some areas, Hospital Icus are near a breaking point. Joining us now, dr. Anthony fauci, chief medical examiner On Coronavirus To President Biden, and the national institute of allergies and Infectious Diseases. Dr. Fauci, always good to talk with you. Good to be with you. Top of mind for more parents, kids are going Back To School. Many have been back in school for a Couple Ochl F weeks now. How much should we expect an increase in infections of children under 12 not yet vaccinated as they go Back To School, particularly in many states where theyre not even allowed to require masks for instance in schools. How concerned are you . Thats the issue that you just mentioned, jim, if we do things right, we hope we dont see much increase at all. If we want to protect the children, particularly those who are not yet eligible for vaccination, you want to surround the children with people who are vaccinated, teachers, school personnel, everyone else. But also in order to protect those who cant get vaccinated. There are certain simple things you have to do. You mentioned one of them. Universal masking in the school, and even though there are, you know, some Government Leaders locally who are trying to push back on that, we have to get the School System masked, in addition to surrounding the children with vaccinated people. Thats the solution. We dont need to see a big Up Tick at all in cases if we do it right. The trouble is, as you know, politics still trump the science, right. You listen for instance to the governor of florida, one of the states of course that has banned mask mandates. The way he described vaccinations was really remarkable, and again, defies the science. I want to play it now, just describing who the vaccine is for. Have a listen. I want to get your reaction. The vaccines have helped People Ward of severe illness, and we obviously work hard to distribute it. At The End of the day, though, it is about your health and whether you want that protection or not. It really doesnt impact me or anyone else. Thats false. Please explain to folks why thats false. Absolutely. Well, i mean, i didnt hear him very well from the sound, but, i mean, if he feels that vaccines are not important for people, that they are just important for some people. Thats completely incorrect. Vaccination, jim, has been the solution to every major public issue in which a vaccine was developed for. I mean, smallpox, polio, measles, im not sure what people are talking about when they push back on vaccinations. It is historically over decades anD Decades anD Decades shown to be the way you control an Infectious Disease. Beyond that, to clarify, his point at The End there was to say, its just a personal choice about yourself. It doesnt impact anybody else. Explain why thats just not true. Well, thats not true at all. I mean, obviously its important for you as an individual, for your own personal protection, safety and health. But when you have a virus thats circulating in the community, and you are not vaccinated, you are part of the problem because youre allowing yourself to be a vehicle for the virus to be spreading to Someone Else. So it isnt as if it stops with you. If that were the case, then it would be only about you. But it doesnt. You can get infected even if you get no symptoms or minimally s symptomatic and pass it on to someone who, in fact, might be very vulnerable, an elderly person, a person with an underlying disease, so when youre dealing with an outbreak of an Infectious Disease, it isnt only about you. Theres a societal responsibility that we all have. Sad fact is a lot of folks arent making choices based on that science or that responsibility to others in their community. We have the Delta Variant. It has been leading to an increased number, not just of infections but crucially deaths. Do you anticipate that in the coming weeks that will tail off at all . That the fall will be worse, or is it possible it might be better, that those increases, well see those graphs kind of come off these peaks. Well, jim, it could go either way, and its up to us. We have the capability within our own selves, our own decision making process, as to whether or not we want to go in the direction of diminution, we can do that. We have the tool to do it, we have 75 Million people in this country who are eligible to be vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated. If we get the overwhelming majority of this vaccinated, we could turn this around even as we go into the Cooler Weather of the fall. We can do it. Its within our grasp. Let me ask you this, because beyond that question of getting the portion of the population, about a quarter to this point who is still not vaccinated, you now have this question of for the vaccinated when and how urgently they might need a third shot. I mean, were moving in that direction. My question is will it become that this is really not so much a twodose vaccine, a pfizer or moderna, but really a threedose. In other words, you will need that third shot, that booster, to be truly protected from this v virus. Right. I think the latter. Given the experience i have over the many years with vaccines, it looks very much like it isnt as if two doses of a vaccine are failing, its that the proper regimen will very likely as we look back on it months from now, will be that three doses is really what you should be getting of an mrna. That might be two doses of a j j, but for the mrna, we know from studies that are already ongoing in israel that when the degree of attention against infection or severe disease goes down to a certain precarious level, when you give the person that third boost, you dramatically increase the level of protection. Even more so than before the boost. It goes up to and beyond the level of protection. I mean, i believe strongly that ultimately were going to see that as proper regimen, three doses of an mrna. The thirD Dose makes you more protected. Trouble has been some mixed messaging, movement of the Time Line on when that thirD Dose will be fully approved. I know you have said that you still believe by the week of September 20th or close that the White House will be able to move forward on its plan for Booster Shots, but governors, understandably frustrated about some of this guidance. Have a listen, i want to get your reaction. Weve got people that are well beyond six months that are 60 and older, that need the Booster Shot, and we cant give it to them because were being held up by, you know, the nation and on the federal level right now. We need clear guidance on the Booster Shots because it undermines, you know, the credibility of it. When in your best guest, not just governors but folks watching right now know exactly when and what boosters they will get and should get. Well, were still aiming for the week of september the 20th. It would have been optimal to get at least with the mrnas to get both Pfizer And Moderna to roll out the Booster Program at the same time simultaneously. It looks now, it is possible, and i think likely, that you will see Pfizer Get ruled out, get rolled out first because the data that they submitted to the fda. Remember, youve got to get approval. All of this, jim, and we said this from the very beginning is contingent on the fda regulatory approval, and the recommendation of the advisory committee and Immunization Practices to the cdc. Pfizer has gotten those data into the fda. Theyre going over it now. I think theyre going to be on time. Moderna may be a bit behind but not much. So i think that youre going to get both of them out. They may not be absolutely simultaneously. But its going to be close. By The End of this month. I would hope so. Theyre probably no more than a couple of weeks behind, if that much. Okay. Big picture, theres a question now, youre familiar with this, about is there a point where we begin to live with covid19 to some degree, that it becomes less of a pandemic response, more of whats known as an endemic response. Its one of many severe diseases, infections we live with. Are we reaching that point . I think were going to get there. As i said before, in answer to one of your other questions, jim, we will get there depending on how successfully we vaccinate our population. If we get more people vaccinated, we give a big dent to the 75 Million people who are eligible, not vaccinated. Well turn this around from the standpoint, youre not going to completely eradicate it. Right now, we are in outbreak mode. We have 160,000 infections per day. Thats a pandemic. We can get that way, way down. We may not get rid of it completely. You may see intermittent cases that will come and breakthrough, which will be manageable. It will not interfere with our lives. It will not be a public health threat. How soon we get there is dependent on us, its how soon we get those people vaccinated who are not vaccinated. So depending on us, taking reasonable health precautionings. Precautions. I noticed this weekend, watching College Football, big crowds in stadiums, not clear who was required to be vaccinated, recommendations for masks but as you can see in these pictures, folks just werent doing it. I mean, is this kind of behavior going to get us on the other side of this. If we keep doing this, are we going to be kind of stuck in outbreak mode. We could be stuck in outbreak mode, and thats why i think what youre going to be seeing in addition to the fact that people are getting voluntarily vaccinated now on a more and more basis, as you said, we have been a couple of days even over A Million per day. I think youre going to see a lot more local mandates, jim, there are going to be organizations, universities, colleges, there are going to be sports events, Travel Events where the rule is going to be if you want to participate, you get vaccinated. If not, sorry, youre not going to be able to do it. And i think when question get more and more of that, i think were going to start seeing a great diminution in the number of cases. I get folks want to go back to normal life. They want to go to games, right. I want to go to games, but when you look at crowds like that, do you approve of that . Or is that just not smart . No, i dont think its smart. I think when youre dealing particularly, you know, outdoors is always better than indoors, but even when you have such a Congregant Setting of people close together, first, you should be vaccinated and when you do have Congregant Settings, particularly indoors, you should wear a mask. Good advice, dr. Fauci. Lets hope more folks listen to it. Thank you so much for taking the time this morning. Thank you for having me, jim.

Happening this morning, President Biden will tour the widespread Storm Damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in parts of New York and New Jersey. The community in harrison township, New Jersey, is cleaning up after a catastrophic Tornado Destroyed Dozens of homes. The mayor of Bloom Township will be meeting President Biden today. And is here with us now. Give us a sense now that the waters have recedes of what your community is dealing with. Good to be with you. The last few days, we had made progress, considering the circumstances, were pleased with where we are. More than 140 homes impacted, and three dozen complete losses already down on the ground. Infrastructure impacted poles and trees down. The dig out and clean up has got us to the point now, several days in, roads are passable, power is restored and the clean up is continuing but, you know, were pleased with where we are at this point. Were seeing the pictures that we saw from last week, and its truly devastation from these homes that you mentioned, the ones that are complete losses. The president approved a Disaster Declaration in six counties in New Jersey, including yours. Youre going to be part of this Round Table Event with him, and i wonder, what are you going to tell him and what do you want to hear from him . Well, first im going to thank him, director criswell, Fema Director was on the ground with us after the declaration. She spent an hour touring the areas. Were pleased with the quick response at all levels, my County Level and certainly at the state and now at the federal level, and what im going to tell the president is that were going to need the federal support going forward. You know, Todays Meeting is important for us to talk about tactical issues, but i think its also important visually and emotionally, for my residents to see that, you know, government at the highest level is paying attention to us. You know, this seemed like a storm that really caught a lot of people off guard, and in some ends, and in certain areas, that meant death for some residents. I wonder in the case of your residents, did they get the warning in time that they needed to respond appropriately . Yes, well, you know, its only by The Grace Of God and you look at the pictures that you have been showing that no one in our town died and there really was no one that even had had serious injury, and that truly is miraculous. So we were lucky in that sense. But the Tornado Warnings on everybodys devices and Cell Phones went off as they have been over the last few years, as that technology has advanced, but the truth is, and i heard this time and time again, that most people would have, you know, responded by looking at that and saying, well, thats not going to happen. Tornadoes dont touch down in New Jersey. Its not a common event, so therefore they took it with a Grain Of Salt until it was upon them, and then they had seconds to get in their basement. Those that survived, multiple stories, were in their basement when their house came down on top of them, and they were able to walk out. It is a cautionary tale about these warnings. Mayor, thank you for being with us. Thank you. Overnight, the taliban arrests journalists in kabul as thousands of protesters take to the streets there. Plus, u. S.

T Ouour Juryry aorneneys hehelpou we have been assured again that all american citizens and af afghan citizens with valid Travel Documents will be allowed to leave, and again, we intend to hold the taliban to that. They have upheld that commitment in one instance in the last 24 hours with a family that was able to leave through an overland route, and we are not aware of anyone being held on an aircraft or any hostage like situation in shareef. That was secretary of State Antony Blinken moments ago saying the taliban have assured the u. S. That not just american citizens but afghan citizens will valid Travel Documents will be allowed by the taliban to leave the airport in northern afghanistan. This comes after the top republican on the house foreign Affairs Committee said the taliban was holding citizens in a Quote Hostage Situation there. Joining us now, cnn political and national security analyst, david sanger, a White House and national Security Adviser for the New York times. Good to see you this morning. Great to see you, jim. The new York Secretary of state says we have assurances that we will hold the taliban to let people freely leave, not just american citizens but afghans, perhaps special immigrant visas, et cetera. Do we have any reason to believe those promises. Not much. We have diminishing leverage here. Obviously when the last american troops left a lot of our leverage left with it. Now, i think that mr. Blinker would make the argument that since the taliban recognized that they now need to run the country, they need to country the foreign aid. They want recognition. That gives us something to Go On. So far the taliban have made the case that the people getting on the airplanes didnt have the Paper Work they needed, and theres no one there to really advocate for them. They could make it up as they go along. By the way, we should know the taliban is beating women in front of a university in kabul today, just a measure of the way the taliban operate. You have coming up probably the first in what will be a series of difficult Hearings Testimony for u. S. Officials. Antony blinken on September 14th about the u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan. How are those hearings going to go . Its going to be tough. Hes going to be making the case, look, it was 20 years, we will have just at the time he testified, well have just gone through the commemoration of the 9 11 moment, which is going to be a hard moment for the country, particularly it was going to be hard even before this, and this is going to make it all harder. Hes going to make the argument that the united states is doing the right thing, staying another two years or five years, wouldnt have made a difference, that many on the committee, including many democrats are going to say, you may have done the right thing, but you didnt do it in a very smooth way. And i think the hardest part for him is going to be explaining why the united states did not have a plan in place to get all of the translators, and others out of the country before the date in which the last american military were scheduled to leave. And they still have not put a really good explanation together for that. It was an unconditional withdrawal, right, had they conditioned it on the safe exit of these people might have been a different story. Tony blare over the weekend highlighting, and hes not the first to do this, about the danger of afghanistan under the taliban as a sort of free zone for Terror Groups including al qaeda, isis, and others. He specifically mentioned concerns about bioterrorism as a new tactic. Well, not entirely new but renewed threat from groups like this. Is that a Clear And Present Danger or is that a theoretical danger. Its a theoretical danger in that bioterrorism is not an easy thing to pull off. One of the things we have discovered about Terror Groups is that because they have a hard time staying in one place, putting together a bio attack, putting together a Cyber Attack is not as easy for Ter Rroristss others. That said, everything we have seen in the pandemic, everything you were discussing before with dr. Fauci is sort of a Guide Post to future Terror Groups at how effective a Bio Weapon could be if they could make it work. This is exactly what we went through in the months after 9 11. The anthrax attacks and all that, we ramped up a considerable capability, but clearly its not good enough. Yeah. Just we saw what isisk was capable of doing just a couple of weeks ago, killing u. S. Forces in kabul. Briefly, do these groups have the Ability Today to stage deadly attacks even just Suicide Bombings outside the country . Are they a domestic threat in afghanistan today or are they also an international threat . Right now, theyre largely a domestic threat, and isis of course is quite spread out but we have seen a lot of cases in the past where you coulD Do isolated attacks on the united states. Its not as easy as it was 20 years ago, but it does make you wonder what we have to be ready for, and i think Bidens Point is that may not just be coming out of afghanistan. That could come out of a range of places. David sanger, always good to speak to you. Thank you so much. A desperate plea from an e. R.

Edu the new School Year, as many of you know, probably gets underway for millions of students. It comes as covid infections anD Deaths are surging across the country. Cnn Health Reporter Jacqueline Howard joins us now. A number of schools had outbreaks, even had to pause inperson classes. How far and wide are we seeing that could happen again . Jim, we do think that we could see it again. And the reason why is because in the past month, things really havent changed when it comes to the two factors that can influence Covid19 Risk in a school. Factor Number One is Mitigation Measures in place within the school walls. Factor number two, how much Community Transmission is happening outside of the school. Both of those factors have not changed in the past few weeks. When it comes to Factor Number one, some schools are still not enforcing masks or physical distancing, and then when it comes to Factor Number two, like you see on the map here, there are still high levels of Community Transmission, and nearly all counties across the country. Like you see here, nearly every county is in red, and thats why a different Infectious Disease experts i have talked to and pediatricians ive talked to say theres still the risk of potential outbreaks this week, compared with last week. So theyre really calling on schools to enforce Mitigation Measures and theyre calling on the community to get Vaccination Levels up because if we do our part, and if schools do their part, we can open schools safely. We just really have to stay on top of these measures, jim. I mean, listen, most cases, kids dont mind, right, the kids dont mind. By the way, youre under 12, they cant be vaccinated yet. Jacqueline howard, thank you so much for following it all. A frustrated Emergency Room Doctor in iowa turning to facebook to make an emotional plea for people to get vaccinated as the surge of coronavirus sends many, predominantly the unvaccinated to the e. R. Taking up Icu Beds that other critically ill patients desperately need. Theres so much misinformation out there. We are drowning in people who are dying with this illness. But i have yet to admit a single person because of a vaccinerelated incident. I dont want to be political. I just need everybody to really know in over 20 years of doing this, ive never been this busy or this stressed or seen this many sick people. That doctor joining us now, the e. R. Medical director at unity point health, dr. Lance van gundy. Sir, thank you so much for joining us. We can see in that video that you shot there, you had just that was after work. I mean, clearly youre kind of maxed out, as weve heard from so many doctors who are just doing this day in, day out, and i know that it was in particular an experience, a conversation that you have had with a patient who was not vaccinated that prompted you to put that message out there. Tell us about it. You know, i had managed a stiff shift at The End of that shift, a high Risk Couple came in. By high risks, they have high risks that would make them Go On and have a high likelihood of getting very sick with covid. And she was positive and he had already tested positive, and i just engaged them in a conversation trying to understand why they chose not to be vaccinated. And the spouse muttered that he thought it would cost money, which i knew wasnt true since the vaccines are free, and his wife, the patient indicated that she just was afraid of the Side Effects that she had read on social media, and i think it just looked like an opportunity to me that was missed, and probably doctors have, other than dr. Fauci, waited too long to say something, and so i felt like i needed to. Whats it like hearing those kinds of things and seeing patients who are entirely or almost entirely unvaccinated in your e. R. . Its sad, and sometimes demoralizing. Im not judging patients for making that decision. I really want to empathize, try to understand why theyre afraid of the treatment because what they really need to be afraid of is the virus, and so im trying to be their cheer leader, and educate and empower them to kind of, you know, be part of the proactive solution here. And its hard, and you just have to take every patient one at a time, but i dont i dont think anger gets us anywhere and all that does is make patients more afraid to ask questions, and engage in thoughtful conversations. I just try and empathize with them. Youre sort of on the rise in iowa, the past few weeks, Case Counts have been up nearly 50 . Hospitalizations are also on the rise. What are you facing in your state . You know, our biggest difficulty regionally is just finding access to critical beds and its not just for covid patients. We are still seeing the same mix of heart attack, stroke, and you know, trauma. Its when we need to find critical access for Critical Care and icus, those beds are saturated. I havent called yet today. Im on the way in to work in a little bit. And ill find out what our status is. But yesterday, the regions that we refer to were still full in terms of having no Icu Beds. Yeah, look, weve talked to people who need those beds for other things, and normally would be able to get them but because of so many unvaccinated people filling them up, theyre just, theyre not available, and you definitely know the reality of that. Dr. Land van gundy, thank you. Thank you. He is jealous, and not afraid to admit it. Russias Space Chief is enamored with two billionaires, we have a cnn exclusive ahead.
