Sweeping moves to break through to the tens of millions of americans who refuse to get vaccinated. Nearly 100 Million. Telling them, their time is up. This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. We made vaccinations free, safe and convenient. The vaccine is fda approved. Over 200 Million americans have gotten at least one shot. We have been patient. But our patient is wearing thin. Your refusal cost all of us. The cost is staggering. As of tonight, about 1,500 people are dying right now with a free vaccine that would prevent those deaths, 1,500 people are dying and 151,000 americans are becoming infected a day. Bidens ire, not just directed at the unvaccinated but those in positions of power who continue to lie and spread conspiracy theories. Elected officials, actively working to undermine the fight against covid19. Instead of encouraging people to get vaccinated and mask up, they are ordering mobile morgues for the unvaccinated dying from covid in their xhupties. This is totally unacceptable. Biden is requiring all businesses with 100 or more please to ensure Theird Or Test week. Fines can be 14,000. When It Cop comes to federal workers, he is requiring all federal workers to be vaccinated. No option for testing. The same for Health Care workers who work at facility that receive federal funds. Unions, the president calling on all governors to require vaccinations for teachers and staff. Todays speech comes 99 days after biden stood before the american people promised a summer of joy and celebration. America is headed into the Summer Dra matically different from last year. A summer of freedom, a summer of joy, a summer of get togethers and celebrations. An all american summer this country deserves. That joy turned to great frustration because, well, the vaccines people didnt take them enough. There became ridiculous mask wars. All this ended up with overcrowded hospitals full of unvaccinated patients. As i said, 1,500 people a day dying who dont need to die. The question is whether bidens words and his Action Wills have an impact or whether its too little too late. 53 of americans are fully vaccinated. Remember, the united states at one point had one of the most vast rollout of vaccines in the world. That was then. This is now. Now when it mcomes to the percentage of the population fully vaccinated theres one. You get the picture. We are going down. We are going down. We are going down. Number 55. 53. 4 , behind cambodia. Biden struggled to convince americans to get vaccinated. Its against daunting numbers. Covid deaths since August 1 have gone up 300 . The united states needs to get the average below 10,000. Its 151,000 right now. He needs to get down to 10,000 new infections a day before americans can start feeling comfortable. Right now, to be clear, 151,000 versus 10,000. You are talking about 15 times higher than whats acceptable. Jeff zeleny is live outside the White House. These Vaccine Orders from the president , they are that Testing Option in there. This is a big change from where the administration was just recently. Reporter its a significant change. It follows the arc of what this administration has done over the last several months. A big change from just a couple months ago this summer when the president simply did not feel it was his obligation or his responsibility to impose mandates on private businesses or even federal government workers. This has been something thats been a bit of a crescendo since he made the decision to require workers to either get vaccinated or test weekly. That was amplified today, requiring federal workers, people under his purview. The biggest news, as you said, was to private businesses. Anyone with 100 or more employees across the country, under an osha rule. That is designed to protect workers, keep them safe. That is what this is under. Yes, there are almost certain to be lawsuits. Republican governors across the country and some businessowners raising questions. Some businessowners were told may like the cover of the government issuing this requirement. At The End of this, the White House is running out of levers to pull out of tools in the toolbox. Thats why this is a different stance than the White House has taken previously. They are trying to get some of the 80 Million unvaccinated americans vaccinated. The Bottom Line is actually the Bottom Line going after workers trying to make their employers force them to do it. We would not have expected this several months ago, even several weeks ago. This is where we are now in september. Jeff, thank you very much. I want to go to an exclusive interview with the White House covid response coordinator. Jeff, i appreciate your time. I want to talk about what has changed here. Jen psaki said clearly that the biden Administration Wasnt going to do Vaccine Mandates. Something changed. Tell me what changed. First of all, thank you for having me on the show. I think the Delta Variant has proven to be more transmissible and more contagious. At the same time, the president led with vaccine requirements about a month ago, starting at the veteran Affairs Hospitals across the country, with the Vaccine Mandate for all Health Care workers. The Department Of Defense followed. We are seeing in the private sector many businesses are requiring vaccination. Universities, states and other insti institutions. They increase the rates of vaccination dramatically. So, therefore, given we do have a group of people in this country who have decided not to get vaccinated to date, we are very confident that pulling this lever of Vaccination Requirements across 100 Million workers will have a big impact. When it came to what you felt you were able to do, obviously, you are not mandating the vaccine for everyone. Theres this weekly Testing Option out there. Theres also not everyone. The postal service is not included. When it comes to teachers, you are asking governors to do it. I was personally shocked the other day, in new york city, with these incredibly high Vaccination Rates, teachers who are about to Teach Kids who arent vaccinated are only 72 vaccinated. It was shocking. Obviously, i dont know, is it the unions you feel like you are not able to mandate for the postal service or teachers . We are doing it everywhere we can. The postal service is an independent agency. Teachers, the president is doing it where he can within the federal government. All teachers that teach as part of the department of Defense School System and department of interior. The president is insisting on a vaccine of all teachers across the country. About 90 of teachers and staff at schools are vaccinated. That should be 100 . Many states have put in place Vaccine Mandates for teachers and school staff. The president is calling on all governors to do the same. Kids should be with vaccinated teachers. The other thing the president did today was to make sure that all teachers and educators that are part of the head start program, almost 300,000 educators across the country, must also be vaccinated. Its interesting, when you get 90 across the country, it makes new york look worse. Im shocked by that. A key question though is whether what the president said today his frustration came out. That was clear. Will it reach the 85 Million americans who, as you point out, who have at this point very clearly chosen not to get vaccinated . I want to play for you an example of how these individuals feel. This is an exchange with an unvaccinated man in missouri. Are you vaccinated . I am not. Why not . I just havent got vaccinated. Okay. Had a lot of people around me had it. I just havent. Never got vaccinated. Around here, country folk. Its hard to get people to do something they dont understand completely or they dont feel the need to. Are you in that category . Well, i guess. I believe if the good lord wants me right now, it doesnt matter if i take a vaccine or i dont. Do you think you can break through to people who feel this is an issue about god . Erin, we have seen positive trends here. In august, 14 Million people 14 Million americans rolled up their sleeve and got their first shot. Compared to 10 Million in july. 40 increase. As i said earlier, Vaccination Requirements in the workplace work. We have seen companies like Tyson Food in the first few weeks of their implementation of their requirement, their Vaccination Rate has gone up by 24 . Same thing at the department of Veteran Affairs for Health Care workers. Vaccination requirements will have a big impact. The President Today with these strong actions, it impacts 100 Million people. Thats twothirds of all american workers. We are optimistic that Vaccination Requirements will increase rates significantly. Look, im going to jump to the conclusion correct me if im wrong if you thought you could make it so that everybody is the way the federal government is, which is get the vaccine or get out, you would have done it. You put in a weekly Testing Option for companies. Do you think that that is going to be enough to withstand Court Challenges that you expect . Is that why you put that get vaccinated or have a weekly Testing Option in there . The Department Of Labor has a responsibility, through osha, to protect workers. To make sure theyre not in Grave Danger or in simple terms, theyre not at risk. They are with unvaccinated workers in the workplace. This is part of the responsible, p the responsibility, the legal authority to put in place that workers are vaccinated or tested at least once per week. That applies to all employers greater than 100 employees. I understand. Why put the weekly Testing Option in . I know you didnt for the federal government. If you go to Health Care, which i mentioned we started with veteran Affairs Hospitals, today the president used the power of the payer of Medicare And Medicaid to 50,000 Health Care facilities, and for those 17 Million workers, they are now required to be vaccinated. I think requirements for vaccination certainly make sense in the federal government, in Health Care settings and the department of Labors Requirement that people either are vaccinate order tested a minimum once per week will lead to more vaccinations. Its not convenient for most to get tested once per week. The vaccination the vaccines are safe. They are effective. They are free. They are readily available. They protect you and they protect your family and your community and your workplace. As i mentioned, 1,500 people are dying a day that dont need to die. They are dying because in almost every case they didnt get the vaccine. Obviously, takes a while for the numbers to come down even if you succeed at what you are trying to do. Dr. Fauci wants to get well below 10,000 new infections a day before he starts feeling comfortable. Right now the number is closer to 160,000 per day. When you look at the numbers you are looking at, jeff, how long is it until this country is well below 10,000 infections a day . I think, erin, you captured it well. This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. We need people to get vaccinated. Those numbers will come down as fast as we can get more and more people vaccinated. We are very confident with the strong actions the president is taking that we are going to accelerate our path out of this pandemic. Jeff, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Thank you, erin. Next, the breaking news. The nations second largest School District in Los Angeles just went further here. They are voting to mandate the Covid19 Vaccine for all students 1 and over. They have done it for teachers. Will other schools follow suit . Inside the army of Social Media users continuing to spread things that are false. When you get that notification from facebook that says, your post is false, how does that feel . Excuse my language. Pisses me off. Taking on texas new Abortion Law. Can the Doj Win in court . You booked a spacious vrbo summer home, with a pool big enough for the most epic cannon balls. A patio that fits all the laughter, and a grill that awaits family from near and afar. But the Thing Theyll remember forever . The first of many vacations with their nephew. The time for getting back together is now. Find it on vrbo. When youre entertaining, you want to put out the best snacks that taste great, and come straight from the earth. And last time i checked, pretzels dont grow on trees. Just saying. Planters. A nut above. At usaa, weve been called too exclusive. Because we only serve those who honorably served. All ranks, all branches, and their families. Are we still exclusive . Absolutely. And thats exactly why you should join. Breaking news. The Los Angeles unified School District voting moments ago to mandate the Covid Vaccine for all students 12 and up attending inperson classes. This is a big deal. Los angeles has been leading on this. They are the second largest School District in the nation with more than 600,000 students. They are the first major School District across the country to do this. They have led on the Vaccination Thing certainly over new york, which is the largest district, in many significant ways. Dr. Jonathan ryder, C Tnn Medic analyst. How significant is this from l. A. , which has led on this when it comes to Teacher Mandates and now anyone over 12 . Should new york, as the mayor said the other day, still almost 30 of teachers unvaccinated, be following suit . Hi, erin. I think its an important milestone. I hope it sets a precedent for School Districts around the united states. Right now, every day, about 25 of the infections in the united states are in kids. We have tools to protect kids. We have masks and for kids over 12, we have vaccines. Only about 50 of adolescents in the united states right now have beco been vaccinated. This will go a long way to protecting children in those age groups and protect siblings at home and other vulnerable people at home. Its a big step. I hope its emulated by new york. The other piece is to get all teachers vaccinated. As you said, new york city, which only has 72 of its teachers vaccinated, is requiring teachers to be vaccinated this fall. Thats a big step also. We can protect kids through making sure that all staff is vaccinated, all children are vaccinated and all kids who cant be vaccinate ready masked. These are just key basic elements. Fascinating to see as it hits that data that requirement in new york what happens. Theres the more existential question of what it says about people who are teaching who have chosen, if it takes that mandate to get them vaccinated. This whole move comes out of l. A. As President Biden announced that employees at american companies will have to be vaccinated or get tested once a week. Thats a big or. Its there for any company over 100 employees. Here is part of his reason why. My job as president is to protect all americans. The Bottom Line, were going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers. Were going to reduce the spread of covid19 by increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across america. Are all companies going to welcome this new rule open vaccines . Does it give them cover or will some resent it . Some will fight it and resent. There will be firms grateful that they can have government there playing bad cop. There are a number of companies that have mandated vaccines. Kudos to them. They include my employer and your employer as well. Thats right. Thats great. The problem is that the firms that have been mandating vaccination by and large are mandating it for people who are already vaccinated. There are some exceptions. For the most part, companies are basically reflecting back the existing p ing preferences and behaviors of their workforces and customers. This is a polarizing thing. A very controversial thing. They are worried about ill na about alienating workers. There are some that have mandates for White Collar Workers but not blue collar workers, people less likely to get vaccinated. Employers can say, could you do whatever you want. Im sorry, big, bad government says you have to get the shot. If you talk about something like walmart, this will save lives. Front line workers are exposed more than the White Collar Workers. A mandate could save lives. President biden now took it further on federal employees. He had a Testing Option there. He removed that. They have to get vaccinated. Thats it. Full stop. Do you think he went far enough . When you look at the penalties here and really their ability to fire people will get challenged in court. Where do you think he is right now . First of all, i love the tone. 75 of americans have gotten at least one shot. 75 of adults. The pandemic is being perpetuated by the 25 of americans who are refusing to do the right thing now. The president said, we have been patient but our patience is wearing thin. I wish he had gone further. I wanted the president to restrict travel this Holiday Season to people who have been vaccinated, air, Bus And Train travel. I think that if were going to start to really get businesses to embrace Vaccine Mandates, then we should have a standard digital way verifiable, a way that cant counterfeited to document vaccine status. You know, lets look at airlines. United airlines has made a mandate. Get vaccinated or you are not. Delta announced a 200 monthly fee for the unvaccinated. Delta seems to say, they are indicating thats working directionally. 20 of its unvaccinated employees got the shot since that announcement of fines. Is that going to work . 20 is 20 . Not 100 . United is going to be 100 . I think all of these companies should be requiring vaccination for their employees. If they are not willing to do it because they are worried people will quit or whatever, i understand its a tight labor market. The government should step in. The federal government has authority here to require vaccination for federal air travel. Or domestic air travel, i should say. Why not . I think its a good thing that delta has put this penalty on its workers, but it wont be sufficient. Why not . Anything that they can actually do, they should be doing. Thank you both very much. I appreciate your time. Next, Social Media companies claim they are cracking down on Misinformation Flooding their sites. Their attempts to set the record straight are failing. You read the Fact Check . Yeah. Its more bologna. Really . Yeah. For the most part. Bidens department of justice takes on the strict new Abortion Law in texas. Can texas be stopped . Ually 100 .

Comcast business. Powering possibilities. Tonight, President Biden, with anger, taking on lies about the Covid Vaccines as he tries to get the 85 Million eligible americans who are still not vaccinated to get vaccinated. I know theres a lot of confusion and misinformation. But the worlds leading scientists confirm that if you are fully vaccinated, your risk of severe illness from covid19 is very low. These pandemic politics are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. 1,500 dying a day. They dont need to be dying. A lot of that misinformation is spreading through Social Media where more than 50 of american adults say they get their news. Half of american adults get their news from Social Media. Reporter do you use Social Media, facebook . I do. When im not in jail. Reporter when you are not in jail . You get put if Facebook Jail . Very often. Reporter Social Media platforms have been trying with misinformation to try and curb it. If you see a label on facebook that marks something as false, do you believe those Fact Checkers . No. Reporter why not . Its mark zuckerberg. Theyre controlling the narrative. Reporter people who break the rules can have their accounts restricted. Thats known to some as Facebook Jail. When you get that notification from facebook that says, your post is false, how does that feel . Excuse my language. It pisses me off. Reporter i first Met Mary At Cpac in texas. I have had notifications with regard to maybe some of the covid issues. They will say thats Fact Checked and may not be accurate. I just say, okay. Then i still post it. Reporter you do . Yeah. Reporter shes a Trump Supporter and skeptical of most Fact Checks she sees online. Theres a video that Eric Trump retweeted a few days after the election that showed trump ballots being set on fire. I seen that. Reporter thats false. The Election Officials who control in virginia those ballots said they are not real ballots. Is that not a good service that something like that gets whewhen its shown false . No. Arent we smart enough to say, whose video is that . Reporter that video played into the idea on Election Week that there was this mass fraud. It played into the idea. No. No, no, no. Reporter mary has 3,000 friends on the platform. Most she has never met in real life. Over the years, i have put in Facebook Jail at least a dozen times. Reporter when you are scrolling through your feed, are you seeing labels . Yeah. It says see why. Its more bologna. Reporter really . Yeah. For the most part. Not everything. Its kind of like the same old same old. The problem is that you have people like myself who dont agree with their Fact Checking. Reporter we Fact Check false claims by supporters of Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden or Vice President harris. I understand why they have the perception. Its because the majority of the content that gets Fact Checked tends to be created by those on what they may consider the conservative side. This man is a former digital Reporter And Editor and chief of lead stories, one of the organizations that works with facebook. On the right, they are more prolific at it. Better at creating content that goes viral. Its shared more, consumed more. Those are things that put them in our target. Not because of some supporting of a certain agenda. Reporter this is one, false information, the same information was checked in another post by an independent Fact Checker. Does not uncover the truth about the 2020 president ial election. All have been investigated and disproven. How do we know . Really . The audit is showing they are Imitation Ballots . Reporter this video you shared, the Fact Checkers are saying its false, i know in that one paragraph, you probably disagree with every single we will disagree with the Fact Checkers of facebook because they have their narrative set up with their Fact Checkers. Not necessarily. Reporter they go through it all. Facebook says they are nonpartisan and go through a rigorous certification process. You share information. You can kind of pick and choose which information you think is good and which is not so great. Reporter theres so much information. Are you cherry picking your facts . You could. Whose reality is important but your own reality . Reporter shouldnt we have a shared understanding . Its impossible. Its impossible because of the bias. You are hearing these independent Fact Checkers now facing personal attacks from people on the right. Tell me what they are saying. Thats right. Its incredible how these independent Fact Checkers are being villainized. I go to trump events over the past year. Folks talk about Fact Checkers as if they are bad people, as if Fact Checking is a bad thing. Allen duke, who you heard in the piece, he has received death threats, voicemails on his phone threatening him, safety of his family. Thank you so much. Next, Justice Department preparing to take on the controversial Abortion Law in texas. Is the law on the Doj Side or is this going to change abortion in america. Trump promoting a Boxing Event on 9 11 and who he would like to fight. My easiest fight would be Joe Biden. And now only tmobile gives new and existing customers one year of Apple Tv on us.

Tonight, the department of justice suing texas over its new law which bans abortions after six weeks, even in cases of rape and incest. The obvious and expressly acknowledged intention of this statutory scheme is to prevent women from exercising their constitutional rights. This kind of scheme to nullify the Constitution Of The United States is one that all americans, whatever their politics or party, should fear. So, look, the biden administration going all in on this issue of abortion rights. There are some who hoped texas did this but its an anomaly, it wont stand there. Does this mean the Texas Law is going away or no . Not necessarily by any means. What it means is that we are in for a major legal battle. Bidens Justice Department has a serious uphill battle. Whats so unusual about this texas is that It Flagrantly Contr contradicts Roe Versus Wade. A state Cannot Pass A Law that unduly restricts a Womans Right to a restriction. The Texas Law makes it essentially impossible. You would think, how could they succeed . The answer is, the Supreme Court may use this case or another case coming up soon to change Roe Versus Wade, which they can do. Its a 63 majority on the Supreme Court. It has to go through the District Court and court of appeals. The Supreme Court has the power to change this. The Supreme Court does have a case on the books right now that will take up this issue of abortion rights. This is out of mississippi. Trump appointees are open the record saying Roe Versus Wade is precedent. Its not what they say. Its what they will do. Is it actually at the moment that it goes down . Theres no question that Roe Versus Wade is precedent. Kavanaugh and barrett were asked this. Yes, its precedent. Thats a fact. Thats like saying Two Plus two is four. The Followup Question is, in what circumstances will you overturn precedent . We got into the legalese. The real answer is, whenever they feel like it. The Supreme Court, whenever they have five votes, its a 63 majority. It will take two conservative justices to join with the liberals to keep Roe Versus Wade on the book as a practical matter. You have a chance of a Texas Law banning abortion after six weeks, even in rape and incest, from becoming the Law Of The Land in a sense. It could be the vehicle that overturns Roe Versus Wade. We heard garland say this is an attempt to nullify the constitution. In the brief the Justice Department says this openly defies constitution. What It Seep seems they are doi launching a full frontal attack in the Texas Law and the mississippi law. Its almost a race up to the courthouse, who can get to the Supreme Court first and take advantage of this moment when theres that powerful 63 conservative majority . Thank you. Trump pushing a Boxing Match he will attend on September 11th while boasting about taking on biden in the ring. I would like to take him and make trouble.

Trump making the comments while calling in to promote the Boxing Match he and his son will do Ringside Commentary for saturday night. Saturday night is the 20th Anniversary of the 99 11 terror attacks. If you had to Box Somebody saturday night, who would it be and what would the fight look like . Well, if i had to pick somebody in the world, not only a professional boxer, because ill take a pass on those professional boxers. I think probably my easiest fight would be Joe Biden. Very, very quickly. He once said, i would like to take him behind the Bar Ann and would be in big trouble. I think biden would be down within the first few seconds. Michael, im glad to have the opportunity to speak with you. When you think about 9 11 i have young kids. Im starting to try to explain it to them. You tear up when you actually talk about that day. Anybody does. Donald trump has blown through every norm of behavior. We know that. This is 9 11. Its a sacred day. Its a somber day for americans on the far right and left. It unites us in that grief. Has trump changed the definition of acceptable, of normal, of president ial behavior this much . He has. Thank you for having me, erin. Absolutely right. A man who has made normal what should never be accepted. A man who trampled upon the sacred deities of american civic life. A man who has poured Hate And Offense upon those who protect the borders of this nation. I dont just mean the physical borders but psychological borders, moral borders, national borders, democratic small d borders. He is taking a sacred moment in the collective american consciousness, 20 years after one of the greatest Terror Events in the history of this nation, and trampling upon it. He is a hustler in the worst sense of the word. Grace into offense. He is turning the solemn remembrance of a day that should unite all of across a spectrum into a selfagrandizing moment. It comes a day after he heaped praise on robert e. Lee after a statue was removed in virginia. His comment was, if only we had robert e. Lee to command our troops in afghanistan. That disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago. What an embarrassment because we dont have the Gene Ruius of a robert e. Lee. For facts, i should point out, trump made the deal to pull u. S. Forces out with the taliban. Whats your reaction to praising general lee who lost a war that was in defense of slavery. Number one, he lost. Number two, he is not talking about grant. He is not speaking about a man who vanquished american culture. Robert e. Lee was a traitor to the american nation. Perhaps trump sees something similar to him when he stood with putin and suggested a person trying to undermine American Democracy was a hero and the people who work for his Intelligence Gathering agencies were the fall guys. A man whose sense of priorities are mixed up. Theres no question here, Praising Robert Who Seceded from the nation in virginia of the what nine or ten generals, seven or eight, he was the only one to secede, ran a Slave Plantation for a couple of years. Here was a man who was investing and keeping slavery alive because it would keep his economic interests alive because his sense of American Democracy meant that he was refusing the inclusion of all. E plurbus unum, out of many one. That he has been invited to some of the funerals. What would the significance be of trump attending those funerals as a former President Spresident . If he attended as the former president that would be dwrat. If he called the State Department and represent the White House at orbest fine. If hes trying to subvert democracy, the civic life of democracy is being shaken to its core by a man who has no sense of propriety and no sense of dignity. And next the situation growing more and more dire tonight. No hospital beds, and young patients with covid. Well take you there next. Bogus . now we work hard for those fees. No hundreddollar Fuel Fee . Pumping gas makes me woozy. Thank you. No 600 Doc Fee . Ugh, the printing, the organizing. No 200 cleaning fees. Microfiber, that chaps my hands.

Back to our top story tonight, President Biden taking aggressive new steps to move forward on mandating Covid Vaccines as the Delta Variant devastates areas with low Vaccination Rates. 1,500 people are dying a day and one of the Hard Sz Hit States right now is kentucky where hospitalizations are up 867 in the past two months. Our Miguel Marquez is Out Front in kentucky. Reporter Billy Couch didnt think much about covid until he got it. Dont mess around because this aint a joke. This is not fun and games. Ive been here so long i want to go home. But i cant go home because i cant breathe still yet. This is not a game at all. Reporter in the hospital 19 days now the unvaccinated 42yearold Isnt sure how he picked up the virus. He toughed it out at home for eight days before being admitted. How serious is covid . Its bad to the bone. I recommend everybody wash their hands, do what they got to do, stay home, stay social distanced because its bad. Trust me, its bad. Reporter until you had it, did you think it was bad . No. What did you think it was . I didnt pay attention to be honest. Reporter a nurse for 30 years, the job never tougher. Its been very, very hard and i get emotional because it is our community. Icu nurses work really hard. They work very hard every day, but you can usually see a difference, so you work hard and you see a difference and thats okay. You dont care that youre tired, youve made a difference. So with this they still work just as hard, harder. And it really hurts when you dont see a difference. Reporter just when they thought they were through the worse of the pandemic its come roaring back, patients younger, sicker, harder to treat. The family its hard for them to realize you mean oh, this is The End, oh, this really is The End. Thats whats really hard on the nurses is the emotional part, too. Reporter in the Covid Icu here in hazard every bed taken by those suffering from severe cases of covid19, every patient intubated except for one. What is this virus doing to places like hazard, kentucky . Its destroying us. Were i mean everybodys getting it. Everybodys getting sick. Everybodys were just seeing a lot right now. Reporter Appalachian Regional Health Care has 13 facilities across Eastern Kentucky and west virginia. Its entire system now overwhelmed by covid. We have no icu beds available, zero reporter zero across 13 facilities . We have 35 patients waiting in our ers for beds. Reporter today Appalachian Regional Health Care has three three regular beds available across its entire system. Theyve cleared space and made room for 200 beds that sit empty unable to staff them. Wre have applied for Fema Disaster medical teams at multiple of our hospitals. Our understanding is that right now louisiana is in dire need, and so most of their teams are there. So we are on the list. And once they have availability we hope that well be able to get support. Reporter the Hospital System needs 170 Nurses Today to open up extra beds. Nurses now working longer hours and doubling up on patients just to keep up. One respiratory should comfortably have four ventilator patients, but right now i have seven to eight ventilators per respiratory patients. Were seeing patients much younger than we have before. So it attacks everyone. Its not just limited to one age group. The issue, it doesnt matter. Ive had several patients under 20 years old. Reporter under 20. How sick . Very sick actually for their age. Miguel joins me now from kentucky. I mean, miguel, its hard to watch that. Im thinking about the man you were talking to at the beginning in the hospital bed. Youve been in so many hospitals and he was saying he doesnt know how he got covid. How are these individuals getting covid in many of these situations . Do you know . Reporter yeah, in most cases it is from trusted Family Members. Hes not sure because there were so many people around him that had covid. But in many, many cases its someone they trust, they know, a Family Member who comes into a household and infects everyone or its a funeral or wedding. Sporting events as well is starting to be a major factor in spreading covid here. This is Perry County and a small county, rural place, nobody thought theyd get it here. It has today right now has one of the highest rates of infection in the entire country. Miguel, thank you very much. And thanks to all of you for being with me. Ac 360 starts now. Good evening. It is unusual and extraordinary to hear a President Address the nation so obviously frustrated with millions of his own fellow americans. But that was the tone President Biden struck late this afternoon as he announced a series of new steps to fight the coronavirus surge. Frustration at republicans fighting Mask Mandates in schools, many of whom have been defiant in their response to the new rules and guidance but also tens of millions of vaccine eligible americans who remain unvaccinated.
