Health repercussions. Right now we want to focus on what officials say will be one element of that plan which is safeguarding kids in schools. It comes as new data that the American Academy Of Pediatrics says one in four cases is in a child. Theres been a 250 increase in infections in children from five weeks ago. Vaccines are unavailable for those under 12. One thing that unites a lot of people is that kids should be in school which leaves masks as one of the next best lines of protection. Most notably in florida, Mask Mandates have become deeply polarizi polarizing. Governor Ron Desantis ordered an option to opt out. We want to remind you of the vitriol these fights have caused. The doctors sitting up here sneering at us looking at us like we are scum bags, they need to go back to [ bleep ] medical school. Right here. Look, right here. As you can see, fists are now flying. Bully him into wearing a mask . Thats what we do. We love our state. Well, i dont believe that. I dont believe that. I want my child to go to school free and unmasked. Sit there civilly and behave yourself. I suggest those of you who have your masks under your noses. This board is working on forced Mask Mandates. Were the bad guys standing up for our children like mine whos at home saying i dont want to wear a mask. Ive got an official. Thats right. Florida flash point, what is a national battle. Today 13 local School Districts won a battle against governor Ron Desantis. A judge said the schools bans may continue while the case is under appeal. Prior to the decision this Morning Governor Desantis offered this prediction. But what we found is in the trial courts in tallahassee, state and federal, we typically lose but then in the Appeals Court we almost always win. The school Superintendents Front and center joins me now. Carly simon. Appreciate you joining us. How Big A deal is this ruling . Do you expect the governor and his allies to escalate the legal battle . I certainly expect the governor to escalate the legal battle. It is a good point, a positive moment for us and we are pleased by the decision. Were pleased by many of the points that judge cooper presented because they align with many of our concerns and i think this is a step in the right direction but were managing our expectations and we know we have a long process, a long legal battle and were ready for the challenge. The governor was standing behind a podium that read early treatment saves lives. I tonight know if the irony is lost in him and hes trying to make it more difficult for schools to prevent covid cases in the first place. Well, i think theres many ironic moments that have been occurring this entire time. We are focusing very much on having facetoface classes and making sure our students are receiving direct instruction. Increasing this is counter intuitive and it works against our efforts. Every One Of Us who runs School Districts want to have school for our School Districts and we know we need to have the masking. Its disappointing when we arent getting that level of support and we have some ironic times that occur and statements that just dont quite jibe with the realities that were trying to navigate. You and i have spoken before. Tonight theres the American Academy Of Pediatrics saying children account for more than one in four covid cases now. Can you just explain what happens when a child tests positive in a classroom, the ripple effects of that or a teacher tests positive, how that essentially kind of breaks down the entire system. So ill speak on this on two levels. When a child is exposed and they test positive, then all of our staff have to Contact Trace and make 1450ur that we take all students who have been exposed and have them guaranteed. This takes considerable amount of time and logistics and organization. Then those students need to go home and they are going to be guaranteed and trying to get instruction in a distanced method. We have a digital platform with canvass that were trying to provide this instruction. Its very different than a facetoface classroom. Then we would have them come back and do Fiveday Testing to see if we can shorten the quarantine period. Thats, of course, if they dont have symptoms. When we have a staff member, many times i want to respect the fact that our Staff Members, you know, my body, my choice, but many of our Staff Members when they test positive, it impacts a lot of other Staff Members because that work still needs to be done. We are an education system. Everyone has a role. Everyone has a lot of work that needs to be acted out in order to have a School Day and so when that person is not in, many other colleagues are having to pick up that load and it really just it puts a burden on the district. When we have so many people who have to have these types of quarantines, it really impacts how we function on the day to day. You must be spending a lot of your time or schools must be spending a lot of time just trying to do Contact Tracing and figure out, okay, now this student has tested positive so this means x, y, z has to move around. Yes. I would say if you asked any principal in any school that they would say now a fulltime job is mapping covid and then theres the job of an education leader. So most of our principals are doing two jobs at the same time. Our School Nurses are in very similar situations where theyre having to test, Contact Trace. There was a job of being a School Nurse that occurred many years prior to covid was existing where you had to help with students with normal fevers, diabetes or things like that. Many of us are having to take on new responsibilities that never existed prior to covid. I mean, thats what i dont understand about the parents who are screaming at teachers and others about, you know, their Child Shouldnt wear a mask. I understand the whole personal freedom thing. I understand no one wants to wear a mask, all of that, but just on a logistics basis, if you want your child to stay in school in a classroom, it seems like masks just are the most obvious way to just it doesnt hurt it doesnt hurt it doesnt give kids covid. It is one thing that can prevent kids and prevent the logistical nightmare of having things shut down. Well, so i would certainly agree with you with that. We also have the additional layer of we just had a Phone Call Today with a parent who has a child whos old enough to be vaccinated and the parent is very upset that their child is going to have to quarantine. The solution for their child to not have to quarantine is to be vaccinated and then if the child has no symptoms, their day continues on. My son was exposed last week. Hes vaccinated. He hasnt shoni symptoms so we have not had to adjust our lives around this. Weve been able to go on through and hes enjoying his classes. So thats the issue is that there are very small things to do that would help us to be able to continue to have school and not have your lives interrupted and when you have young children and you need to arrange child care, that really puts a damper on how you can function. Carly simon, i appreciate your work and talking to us. Thank you. I believe i made a mistake in the intro. 75 of adults are vaccinated. 75 of eligible adults have received one shot. I want to get a word in with sanjay gupta. So, sanjay, as more students across the country go back to school, are you concerned the Infection Rates now among kids are just going to go up . I think the absolute numbers are going to go up. I mean, this is just a sort of Math Issue at this point because as youre increasing the number of children who are infected, even if the ratio stays the same, the absolute number will go up. Right now about 100,000 people in the hospital, 2 of them are children. As more and more are infected, even if a likelihood of your child getting sick, severely ill enough to go to the hospital is low, the statistics start to catch up with people. Let me show you a graphic that came out of this free print from North Carolina State university looking at the next three months. What do the next three months look like . What they say is in schools if there are none of these mitigation measures, no masking, no testing, youll have 75 . 75 of k12 students become infected. Theres close to 50 Million students. Add on masking, as low as 24 . Masking and regular testing is as low as 13 . Not perfect, anderson, this is a very contagious virus, but you can get an idea of what can be done to bring down the numbers. Thats incredible. 75 will get infected but with masks going down to 25. Thats right. So far in this country 5 Million children roughly have been infected. Again, if you look at the hospitalization rate, about 2 , maybe less than 2 even of all of those in the hospital are children, but if these numbers continue to go up, and i hope they dont, if they continue to go up, obviously it affects all of the numbers just in terms of the absolute values. Last year when school started there was a lot of concern about safety in schools and then it seemed like it turned out that there wasnt a lot of transmission in schools. Was there . Or was it just because the Delta Variant is it all the Delta Variant . Is that the difference . I think thats a big part of it, but i will tell you what is interesting, anderson, this Labor Day compared to a year ago, we have 3 1 2 times more viral spread, 3 1 2 more viral cases this year than last year. Thats crazy. We have a vaccine. Thats crazy. If you had asked me last year, This Time Next Year were going to have 3 1 2 times more cases than next year, i would have guessed i guess we never got an authorized vaccine. Truth is we have annual authorized vaccine, three of them. 2 1 2 times the hospitalizations compared to last year and nearly 2 times the number of deaths as this point last year despite the vaccine. So you have viral showers that are going on. We are being bathed in virus in so many places across the country. High transmission. Thats whats going on. So you add into that that the Delta Variant is very contagious, less for giving and all of a sudden you get into a situation people are going to be affected unless they take protective measures. Does that also mean that just way fewer people are wearing masks now than were wearing them a year ago this time . Thats a good question. You know, i dont know what the mask wearing is like here. Its clearly different in different parts of the country. I think what happened, theres a lot of folks for a period of time because of the vaccines rolling out were also not wearing masks even though there was significant viral spread. People who are not vaccinated took that as an option not to wear a mask as well. The number of hospitalizations in particular is what i pay closest attention to. Cases are hard to track because were still not doing adequate testing in this country which is frustrating that people cannot wake up and simply know are they contagious or not. Technology exists but were not doing that. What we do know is hospitals are becoming overwhelmed with patients in some parts of the country. Regular elective cases are getting canceled. Other noncovidrelated diseases are getting substandard care because of that. Masks we know make a huge difference for sure. The numbers sort of tell the story. What youre looking at on the screen there, anderson, regarding the vaccinations. Thats incredible. Unvaccinated people, 17 times more likely to be hospitalized. Do you see the line for vaccinated people in the hospital. Thats the flat line at the bottom. You can barely see it. Its an incredible story of whats going on. I think, frankly, more proof of Just Howe well the vaccines wor. Another possible threat to the capitol at the right Wing Rally planned there in the coming days. Well have details on the concerns about the threats as well as new video of a suspect from the Capitol Riot in january, the Person Planting Pipe Bombs. Theres new Video Authorities want you to see. Later, the former president who encouraged Rally Goers to go to the capitol join us, his niece tells us what it says about his own political future. Discover card i just got my Cashback Match is this for real . Yup we match all the cash back new Card Members earn at The End of their first year automatically woo i got my money its hard to contain yourself isnt it . Uh huh well let it go woooo get a dollar for Dollar Match at The End of your first year. Only from discover. The fbi has released new video of the suspect accused of planting the Pipe Bombs the night before the January 6th capitol attack. The footage shows the suspect sitting on a bench near the dnc. All of this as theres Breaking News about another possible threat to the capitol, a planned rally in ten days. There is a new Recommendation Tonight about fencing around the capitol. Cnns Jessica Schneider has details now. What are we learning . Reporter anderson, we just learned that that temporary fencing that actually surrounded the capitol people will remember for months after January 6th, well, it might go back up. Sources telling Ryan Nobles that capitol has asked for the Fence Board put in place ahead of September 18th. The board will make the final call here. Sources are telling our team it is likely they will approve the request for the fencing. We are told it would be a smaller fence, likely up only for 48 to 72 hours surrounding the rally but this latest development, it comes as the Police Departments around d. C. , theyre Amping Up Security Preps in advance of this socalled justice for January 6th rally happening next saturday, September 18th. Capitol police are warning about the potential for violent clashes and unrest at an upcoming rally in support of those charged in the u. S. Capitol insurrection. This latest rally is planned at the capitol September 18th. The Intelligence Report references amped up online chatter after the officer who shot Ashley Boweden went public defending his actions after the Justice Department and the Capitol Police cleared him of any wrongdoing. I know that day i saved countless lives. I did my job. And there was imminent threats and danger to the members of congress. Reporter the Capitol Police memo notes a recent uptick centered on babbitts shooting and the document warns many might view September 18th as a justice for ashley babbitt rally. The former Trump Campaign Staffer Matt Brainerd acknowledges this will address babbitts death. It addresses the hundreds involved who are now facing federal charges. Were calling for charges to be dropped against all nonviolent offenders who in many cases were walking through Capitol Doors into a public building held open by Capitol Police officers. This was a peaceful protest for peoples civil rights that have been denied. The internal memo says 500 people plan to attend and counter protests are expected. The memo notes the prior events have bhad much less. The danger is diminished since congress is on recess. One proud Boy Leader has encouraged followers to show up while others from the far right group are discouraging attendance online. Capitol police note nine republican members have been invited and all but three have declined the invitation, marjorie taylor greene, Matt Gaetz and matt kawthorne. All of the chatter should be taken seriously. If theyre seeing and hearing the same things they heard before January 6th, they should be taking better preparations and taking those those conversations more seriously. Jessica, i understand congressional leaders are expected to get Security Briefings in the coming days about it. Reporter yeah. We learned there was one today, anderson. There was a briefing attended by at least one member of the January 6th select committee. It was congresswoman zoe loughner. There was a briefing from Capitol Police as well as the architect of the capitol, the House Sargeant at arms and the house speaker, Nancy Pelosi our team has learned, has invited Chuck Schumer and the top republicans, Kevin Mccarthy and Mitch Mcconnell to her office monday morning. Thats when were hearing there will be a briefing from Tom Mini manger. They are taking this seriously. Stay with us. I want to bring in josh campbell, former fbi special agent. What does this tell you, the Capitol Police has requested a smaller fence be putback up around the capitol. Is that in an abundance of caution . No one wants to be the person who said, oh, no, you dont need a fence . I interviewed the new Capitol Police after he took the job. He wasnt there on the day of the attack, but one thing he said is he will learn lessons and be a threatbased agency. They are going to reerect this fencing, that tells us that they are concerned enough with about some of this as the demonstrators show up on September 18th. Will it be overkill . Maybe. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the officers. They cant buy a repeat of January 6th. They want to not necessarily provide a fortress but we are going to see some kind of standoff that puts the demonstrators away from the building that the officers are sworn to protect. Just to get an idea that they are being portrayed by this group and others as political prisoners or victims in some way is insane. Well, i actually talked with the organizer of this rally, Matt Brainerd. He said these are in fact political prisoners despite the fact most people being held in the jails are accused of violent offenses. A lot of the people have taken Plea Deals who were nonviolent, just charged with trespassing. The premise a little bit of this rally is off base. They are taking a lot of their Talking Points and parenting what Donald Trump has said and is saying. Its interesting because when the former president finally did make a video, there was or it was actually after he made the video, they were trying to distance themselves. There were an awful lot of republicans initially trying to distance themselves from the attackers. Those are probably antifa people in costumes. I heard it was a false flag operation. I guess theyve abandoned that line of argument. Now theyre fully embracing them as trump supporters who somehow are being persecuted. You know what, anderson, theyre getting ready to bring out the lines of this. He said, hey, if theres any trouble on September 18th, its because of the leftist ip filtrating our group. Theyre preparing false potentially Talking Points that they floated after January 6th. Jessica schneider, josh campbell, appreciate it.

As we noted, President Biden will speak tomorrow on covid and the administrations plan to halt the surge. Listening to public health officials was a key Campaign Promise but covid is one of many challenges facing the administration. It could be a critical moment for bidens presidency. Phil mattingly joins us with more. What are you learning about the new Messaging Push inside the White House . Reporter they make clear this is the critical moment for the legislative agenda. They want to sharpen their message. More than anything else, anderson, they want to simplify it. Weve seen it more in the public comments and weve obtained polling memos, messaging memos sent to democrats on Capitol Hill. Implicit in that memo, dont miss the forest for the trees. Theyre getting caught up on the various components on the sweeping 3. 5 trillion proposal and that has caused problems with moderates, yes, in the senate with Joe Manchin and they have become increasingly skittish with the size, Scale And Financing components of the package. Theyre trying to walk people back, stay focused on the things that matter most. The binary choice whether youre with him or against him. One of the top advisers said in a memo, President Biden believes this comes down to a simple proposition, Scranton Pa versus park avenue. Which is a theme that he had hit on during the campaign . Yeah, no question about it. They think thats where President Biden is at and thats one of the primary reasons he won reelection. Yes, the components of it or the types of policies democrats have dreamed of for years. Now its the real opportunity to do something. When you talk to Front Line democrats, the house is weary of the Size And Scale and they need reassurance. This is a tax cut. This will drop prices. The wealthy will pay more to finance it. Its simple. Dont get caught up in the complex details. The president s polls have been sliding. People are very cognizant of that on Capitol Hill making clear the elements are popular and that they play well even in those swing districts. That more than anything else is a message they want to get across. Phil mattingly, wmattingly, it. Evan, President Biden ran on the promise he would end the pandemic. It hasnt happened. Obviously afghanistan did not go the way he wanted or anticipated perhaps. How critical a moment is this for him . This is the essential moment. This is sort of the point at which its the proving ground. All of the things hes been talking about as a candidate and in the early months of his presidency are coming to a head. They are working, after all, on this speech that hes going to give tomorrow about covid. They are working on this even late tonight because the details matter. The subtleties matter. Somebody familiar with the speech tell me youre likely to hear him express a kind of War Time spirit which is an interesting phrase. Its regaining the urgency he had six months ago at the beginning of this when he put the country on what he called a War Time footing. Hes trying to remind people, this is not done obviously. The numbers are difficult and what they want to show people is some of the things they have done have borne fruit. In july they got 10 Million people vaccinated. Once there was more concern about delta, once they ratcheted up the awareness, if not the fear of Delta Making people aware of the risks, they got 14 Million people vaccinated in august. This is hitting the right balance. There is a way to solve this problem but its not going to be done by being flat footed. Gloria, what do you expect to hear . We need to hear some clarity here. Just as phil was talking about with the economic plan and convincing democrats to go along, the american public needs to hear a clear message from the president on what he intents to do and what he can do about the Delta Variant. Hes going to urge vaccinations. Hell tell you how he will keep kids safe in school, more testing in the country and on and on but there has been a lot of disagreement between the cdc, the centers for disease control, and folks who work around the president about, for example, when you should get a Booster Shot or when you can get a Booster Shot. And this is a president who in july on July 4th said we gained the upper hand against this virus. We now know that the virus mutated and that the Delta Variant is something we all talked about. We didnt talk about it back then so the president has to be clear about next steps and he has to tell the american public what happened and how the public needs to get vaccinated in the future if youre going to kind of save the country. Hes going to say business, you be good. You need to be better. There are limits on what i can do as president. Hes going to talk about mandates, for example. I think he needs to tell the public clearly, heres the way forward and out of this because the public is sick and tired. Theres not much new he can say about covid. I mean, its yes, people know you should be vaccinated. Those that arent vaccinated disagree with that, dont care about it, dont buy what hes saying. Im not sure, you know, yelling more about it or phrasing it in a different way is going to do anything, is it . Part of the thing exactly as gloria mentioned, appealing to the private sector is part of this. To say, look, there are states in the country, governors not participating, not cooperating with the idea of vaccines, masks, in many cases standing in the way of it. Private businesses that want to see the economy get back into good shape, they are in the position to start mandating it to their employees and getting a clear equivalent. There was that glimmer when people began to feel as if things were getting back to normal. There was backsliding. This is about giving people a sense they cant do that. It cant be done from the top. Gloria, to the point that you just made. New Gallup Polling found 40 of americans think President Biden has communicated a clear message. They said his handling of the pandemic has slipped 10 points since june. For democrats, if you are looking at this through a political lens, that is clearly an issue. This was his calling cashrd. He said, weve got this under control. It was his Calling Card to being a competent president and now you see the Numbers Drop because people who were vaccinated, you dont have to wear your mask anymore, now you have to wear your mask again. The public is confused by whats going on with the virus and he really needs to explain that. I mean, president s need to explain things to the american public. In this case were not scientists. I do believe what he needs to do to say to the public is i have been competent. Once you start losing fights, then the public believes youre not a success and hes got big fights ahead of him in the congress and hes got to deal with this right away. Gloria and evan, thank you very much. Coming up next. Is the former president making all of the moves to enter the president ial race in 2024 . Well talk to his niece, mary trump, when we continue. Hey google. Hey lily, i need a new Wireless Plan for my business, but all my employees need something different. Sze this. Your mover, rob, hes on the scene and needs a plan with a mobile hotspot. We cut to downtown, your Sales Rep Lisa has to send some files, like asap so basically i can pick the right plan for each employee. Yeah i shouldve just led with that. With at t business, you can pick the best plan for each employee and get the best deals on every smartphone. Emergency planning for kids. We cant predict when an emergency will happen. So thats why its important to make a plan with your parents. Here are a few tips to stay safe. Know how to get in touch with your family. Write down Phone Numbers for your parents, siblings and neighbors. Pick a place to meet your family if you are not together and cant go home. Remind your parents to pack an emergency supply kit. Making a plan might feel like homework, but it will help you and your family stay safe during an emergency. The former president s continuing his campaign of retribution trying to oust the republican House Members who voted for his impeachment. His highest target is liz cheney. As he does that, he continues to tease another run for the White House. Top Adviser Jason Miller says the chances of him actually entering the race and im quoting here are between 99 and 100 percent. The expresident is lining up rallies in key states scheduling one in georgia and one in iowa at The End of october. One person who knows him quite well is mary trump, author of the reckoning, our Nations Trauma and finding a way to heal. She joins us now. Good to have you on. You see the moves by your uncle. You hear what his allies are saying. Do you actually believe hes going to try for another bid for the White House . I think the chances are a lot better now than they were immediately after the election. He got so humiliated i did not think he would put himself in a position to lose again but the machinations of the republican party, Voter Suppression bills that theyre trying to pass in every state plus theyre willing to push that and says were great patriots. It leads me to believe he may decide that if he runs he wont lose. He also has a lot of incentive to get back into the Oval Office because it would protect him from the criminal charges and the civil charges being levied against him. Hes raised you know, based on the election lie, he put out all of these feelers for money and a lot of people sent in a lot of money to him that he can use as he wants to as he sees fit. Yeah. Listen, anderson, The Question Will He Run is unfortunately a relevant one and one we need to grapple with but what is an even more question is why is he being allowed to make that choice . This is somebody who incited an insurrection and he is responsible for the current position is because governors like Desantis And Abbott who seem to have absolutely no concern about their constituents, place no value on Human Life took their cues from donald. So why is he even being allowed to run if, indeed, he does . Based on your knowledge of him and youre a trained psychologist, im wondering what you make just of the hold he continues to have over a vast majority of republicans in this country and how much of that relates ya. Does it surprise you, the hold that has remained . Even though hes been not really in The Public Eye . Yes, obviously he shows up on fox and hes started doing rallies, but hes been relatively silent. Yeah, it doesnt surprise me because the reason hes continuing to be relevant is because elected officials allow him to be relevant. If on November 7th they had ignored him and conceded that President Biden won the election, we wouldnt be having this conversation because he like every other oneterm president would have faded into the background but theyre keeping him relevant. Theyre continuing to empower him. Theyre continuing to ask for his endorsements, et cetera, et cetera. So it doesnt surprise me when, again, you see republican governors following Donalds Playbook and asking for his position and conceding everything to him, why shouldnt millions of republicans who follow him this far continue to put stock in him. According to espn the former president have announced he and Donnie Jr. Will be providing commentary. They will have to pay for the match. I dont know what experience they have. I dont think theyve ever been in a fight. Does it surprise you even by his low standards . If another former president decided to spend 9 11 commenting on a Boxing Match on pay per view, people would the heads would explode. That is, indeed, the problem. Thats been the problem all along for reasons that are very difficult to understand. There is a completely different standard in fact, hes held to no standard. Its disgraceful. If there is no Blow Gun on the right for this disgraceful isnt a strong enough word to describe what you just mentioned, then that tells us everything we need to know about the current state of the republican party and it tells us that the democrats start really need to start wrapping their heads around the fact that this is not a party that can be worked with, this is not a party that should be conceded to. In your new book you talk a lot about trauma. The name is in the title of the book, thats how important it is, do you think that thats a word that describes its an important word in describing american history, more important your uncles rise in 2016 . Yeah. As i say, this country was born in trauma. In the genocide by white settlers of the native american Population And Genocide and enslavement of the african population. Weve never dealt with that. Its been passed down generation to generation and in the last four years we have dealt with an onslaught of attacks against immi immigrants, against people of color, women and one of the most dyiabolical things donald did ws divide this country at a time when we most needed to be united. Thats when covid started. Its going to take a very, very long time to recover from that, as we see, because people who follow him are making it almost impossible to get ahold of covid, to get a handle on it, to overcome it. And the violence and the Rhetoric Visavis Mask mandates and vaccination is getting so out of control its dividing us even further. Mary trump, i appreciate your time, thank you. Thank you. Coming up, an up close look at covid in kentucky. 130 capacity. Theyve asked the National Guard now to help. With ecommerce thas at the speed of now.

I keep my social distance. Shingles doesnt care. I stay within my family bubble. Shingles doesnt care. Because if youve had chicken pox, youre already carrying the virus that causes shingles. In fact, about 1 in 3 people will develop shingles, and the risk only increases as you age. So what can protect you against shingles . Shingrix protects. Now you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90 effective. Shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. Shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. An increased risk of Guillainbarre Syndrome was observed after vaccination with shingrix. The most common Side Effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering, fever, and upset stomach. Talk to your Pharmacist Or Doctor about protecting yourself with shingrix. Shingles doesnt care. But we do. Earlier sanjay said hospitals are becoming overwhelmed due to covid surge, and thats definitely possible in the state of kentucky. The deep red and dark oranges on this map Show You Counties with high numbers of covid cases in the state. The reason less than half of Kentuckys Population is fully vaccinated according to the cdc, and many counties you see the Light Shade of teal only 30 to 38 of population partially vaccinated. Cnns Miguel Marquez takes us to one hospital in the state where the National Guard is helping out as more and more Covid Patients seek help. Reporter middleton was so sick doctors considered putting her on a ventilator. She refused opting instead to pray. I praise him from now. Reporter she says she and her husband talked about getting vaccinated but decided against it. Do you have any idea where you got covid . Yes. My granddaughter had gotten sick and just went through everybody. Reporter kentucky seeing its biggest Covid19 Surge yet. Cases and hospitalizations spiking sharply to levels never seen before. Deaths, too, on the rise. Hospitals everywhere just trying to keep up. Its defeating to put another person on the ventilator.
