however, are dropping. one reason for optimism, merck says its new antiviral drug cuts the risk of hospitalization and death by 50% for covid patients. the company plans to submit a request for emergency use authorization to the fda as soon as possible. experts say this is a major development in fighting the pandemic. >> this is the most impactful result that i remember seeing of an orally available drug and the treatment of a respiratory pathogen, perhaps ever. i think getting an oral pill that can inhibit viral replication, inhibit this virus is going to be a real game changer. it's going to be used like tamiflu. people get vaccinated for flu, but some develop, and tamiflu helps mitigate symptoms in those individuals. >> dr. gottlieb and other health officials are stressing an antiviral pill is not an alternative to getting the vaccine. cnn's polo sandoval joining me now from new york, what more are you learning. >> with over 700,000 deaths reported now, that means the u.s. continues to unfortunately be number one in terms of covid deaths so there certainly is a lot of hopeful optimism about this medication when and if it is approved. now, governors across the country are reporting numbers here, decreases in hospitalizations and new infections as well. we continue to hear from health officials, the best tool in trying to make sure the numbers don't keep ticking up is getting vaccinated. >> as early as next fall, california students will be required to be covid-19 vaccinated. governor newsom is the first in the nation to add a covid vaccination to the first in the nation. >> get this behind us, get this economy moving again, make sure our kids never have to get call saying they can't go to school because one of the kids or staff member tested positive. >> reporter: the governor expects new requirements will be phased in by groups, grade 7 through 12, and k through 6 only after the fda fully approves the vaccine for that cohort. parents anxiously awaiting to vaccinate children under 12 remain hopeful that may happen by halloween. there's also smirk about what may become the first oral medication to cut risk of covid-19 hospitalization or death by half. not a vaccine but an antiviral, designed to fight the virus early after a covid diagnosis according to experts. merck is seeking emergency use authorization from the fda as soon as possible. >> i'm very excited about a drug going forward to fda for consideration. we do need better treatments. we do need oral therapy. it's not a replacement for vaccination. prevention is the best way to go. when people get covid, we need to be able to provide them with better treatment. >> with about 77% of eligible americans having had at least one vaccine dose. health officials remain hopeful. those who need a second dose will get one. in new york city, the deadline for teachers to comply with the city's vaccination mandate has come and gone. more than 90% of the roughly 78,000 teachers in the public school system received a shot according to the city. those who didn't include stephanie edmonds who face being forced on to unpaid leave. >> unless anything changes come monday, they have decided that i'm a threat to public health, and i think that goes against some of the very basic values of this country. of course we need to balance freedom and safety but i would say this is an overstep. >> the head of the city's department of education tells cnn the few teaches who remain defiant of the mandate can reconsider. >> we hope and look forward to teachers continuing to get vaccinated over weekend because if they do. we look forward to welcoming them back into their classrooms. >> in addition to considering pfizer shots for people under 12, an fda advisory committee takes up the issue of moderna and j&j boosters in the coming week weeks. also on tap, discussions about data on a mix and match booster approach. four new york city teachers petitioned the court to block new york city's vaccinate mandates. justice sotomayor denied that challenge meaning that mandate will take effect, fred, come monday. >> polo sandoval, thank you so much. joining me to discuss is dr. tyson bell, an infectious disease expert and pulmonary care medicine at the university of virginia. good to see you again. let's zoom in on this merck pill while it's seeking emergency use authorization from the fda, and you heard dr. gottlieb as we played his sound bite, it's not an alternative to getting vaccinated but how would it be used, is it the case you test positive and then you take potentially this merck pill? yes, well, thank you for having me on, first of all, and yes, this is an exciting game changer, and i'll be honest, i have not been excited about therapeutic for covid-19 in a while. and the reason why is because it's so much easier to distribute. an oral pill does not require an iv. you do not need a facility, and you don't need extra staff like the monoclonal antibodies. 50% reduction in hospitalization, and death. the monitoring committee actually stopped the trial early because it was so clear of a benefit. i'm excited to see this data. it will be a great alternative to fight the pandemic. as you mentioned, vaccination is the best way to prevent covid-19. >> they're going to hear about this pill and say when and if i get covid-19, i get the pill and bypass the vaccination. >> the concern is there, and honestly when it comes to delta, delta has used every tool in its tool kit to fight us. anything we can use to combat it we have to use as well. 50% is not 100%. it's not close to 90%. vaccines are the best way to go. i think having therapeutics and the chances that we need them is still good to have. >> okay. the u.s. has surpassed 700,000 deaths from coronavirus. i mean, very sobering numbers. we're now, we have the worst rate than any other country across the country. so -- across the world. so what is the message that comes across your mind when you think about the number of people who have died in the u.s. >> well, i mean it's an unbelievably unfathomable number, and sometimes i'm guilty of this, too. sometimes we get so caught up in the numbers that we forget the individual stories so when we get close to these milestones, i start to think about some of the patient, i have had. the woman who came into my icu, owned a neighborhood restaurant, knew everyone, was the heart of the community and unfortunately got sick with covid-19, and even in the midst of gasping for air, such a caring individual, she was asking me how i was doing emotionally with the strain from covid-19 patients. she actually dressed up as santa claus during christmas, and if she had had a chance to have been vaccinated, she probably would have dressed up as mother clause this december. the police officer who passed away who left behind two young children and a wife. families, pictures of his family were plastered across the wall. we literally felt the love, and as he took his last heart beats, we placed the picture on his chest. he had been planning to get vaccinated and hadn't gotten around to it. this stings more because now this is potentially preventable, and i know that vaccination is a conversation that means so much to so many people. from the perspective of health care workers, getting vaccinated or convincing someone to get vaccinated is an act of love. love for yourself, love for your community, because this virus has taken so much from us, and this is our tool to fight back, and we just have to lean into it. >> right. and as you underscore 700,000 individuals lives lost, so many more impacted as a result. all right, the cdc is now issued an urgent recommendation encouraging pregnant women, and those who have recently given birth to get vaccinated and you sent us a picture of a baby crash cart outside of one of your pregnant patient's room. what has it been like caring for critically ill pregnant women? >> it's an unbelievably stressful situation because the stakes are so high. i took this picture outside of the room of a pregnant person who had to be intubated, a breathing put down their throat because their oxygen levels dropped low, and after the tubes wen in, the oxygen levels still were low. that's a dangerous situation for mother and baby. the baby was pre-term but viable, so that means everyone is called, the pediatricians, in case we have to resuscitate the baby, and the doctors to deliver the baby. i want to make clear. this is not okay. we have a vaccine that can prevent outcomes like this. pregnant people have a 70% higher chance of death from covid-19, and to see images like this, you know, just to have a cart outside the room because we know what could potentially happen, it's stressful. it's potentially traumatic, and because it's avoidable, we have to get a move on in making sure that pregnant people have the message that these are safe and effective vaccines, and prevent serious outcomes, and it has benefits for themselves and babies. >> and of course many of the pregnant women who are reluctant to get a vaccine are concerned about their unborn babies so what's the message to them from your perspective when i hear other medical professionals who also say that the babies these unborn children once born, stand to gain some of the properties that come from the vaccine that the mother received while pregnant? >> that's a great question, because pregnant women, you know, one of their most top concerns is the health of the baby. let's talk about that. outside of the risk of death to the mother, which of course, that's the worst outcome but even before that, covid-19 is associated with inflammation of the placenta, and that directly links with a higher chance of miscarriage and a higher chance of preterm labor that we have seen, and in addition, we've seen babies when they're born, their immune systems are not fully developed, so they depend on mothers antibodies for protection from viruses and other illnesses, and so if you're vaccinated for covid-19, you pass on those protective a antibodies to the baby and that extends even after the baby's born. imagine bringing a baby into the world, you know, scary in a pandemic, but you give that level of protection, so this is a win-win situation. >> dr. tyson bell, always a pleasure to have you. thank you so much, be well. >> thank you. coming up, negotiations on capitol hill coming to an impasse?

>> reporter: fred, this was the biggest test of unity for president joe biden and democratic leaders this week as moderates and progressives are trying to negotiate how they're going to pass both of these bills. on one hand, the bipartisan infrastructure bill that already pa passed the senate, by the way, and had republican support, and needs to pass the house before it goes to president biden's desk, one of the bills that moderates pushing for. it has hard infrastructure. it would fix roads, bridges, transportation, funding for all of those thingsm. lots of jobs in the bill, which is why moderates want it so they can see results this their districts. you have the economic bill, the massive $3.5 trillion tax and spending bill that would expand the nation's social security safety net, its a huge priority for progressives to pass this bill, and that's why they threatened to withhold their vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless they can get some sort of vote as soon as possible on the economic bill. now, the problem here is this all depends on two senators, the same two senators whipping up time and time again, senators joe manchin, and kir yrsten sin, the problem is they don't want to spend $3.5 trillion to expand the safety net. they want to bring the price tag down. there's some disagreements between them and progressives on what this top line should be for this bill, and we still don't know where they stand on this. however, manchin has said a couple of times that he believes the top number for this bill should be $1.5 trillion, and progressives want a vote in the senate on this bill before they decide to support the bipartisan infrastructure bill. take a listen to what alexandria ocasio-cortez said yesterday to reporters. >> the framework, enough, an agreed upon framework. >> we need a vote. we need to be real. are we going to deliver universal pre-k to this concern or not. are we going to expand health care to our seniors and include vision and dental or not. are we going to invest in housing so that people back home in nycha can actually get hot water in winter time or not. that's what we need to know. >> bottom line here is progressives and moderates are continuing their negotiations with democratic leaders so they both get the bills they want, this bipartisan infrastructure bill, and this economic bill. fred. >> daniela, thank you so much on capitol hill. jasmine, before departmenting t -- departing the white house, president biden had a few words that he extended. what did he say? >> reporter: the president said that these negotiations are ongoing. even as he spends the weekend here at his home in wilmington, delaware. moments after he's touched down, the white house released a statement saying that both he and officials will continue close engagement with members on the hill and even this weekend and next week that they will even be inviting them back to the white house all to try to get a deal both at $3.5 trillion spending package of the president's, that expansive social safety net so they can ultimately vote on both that, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and now, president biden, when he was leaving the white house, he was pretty candid with reporters, including our own arlette saenz telling her, yes, there has been frustration on both sides with the moderates and progressives that they have some of this kind of division trying to get to a deal on these packages. take a listen. >> everybody's frustrated. it's part of being in government is being frustrated. i'm a realist. i was a senator for a long time. i know how legislation gets done. there is no reason why both of these bills couldn't couldn't p independently, except there are not the votes to do it. i think it makes sense i support both of them, and i think we can get them both done. >> reporter: but the reality here, fred, is that there is no deal in sight, and when it could come as anybody's guess. the president yesterday on the hill said that it could take minutes, hours, days or even months but he was still optimistic that something can get done. next week, in addition to having lawmakers come to the white house, he will go into the country and tell americans about this plan, trying to rally them behind this plan so that it can put pressure back on lawmakers here in d.c. to come together for a deal on his agenda as it hangs in the balance. fred. >> and already early polling has shown that these plans are hugely popular with the public, but now it's still in the hands of those members of congress, but we'll see how influential the president could be when he hits the road. thank you so much, jasmine right. daniela diaz. what is the path forward for president biden's agenda, i'll ask a progressive member of congress next. r you're winning,t doing your best. when you're on the lanes, they're right behind you. reunite with your team. go bowling.

>> well, i think, you know, the president came to visit us in our conference yesterday, and he was very clear, we need to make sure we know which in the senate plan and reconciliation in their plan for build back better, and to know what their priorities are before we can move on with infrastructure, so i think that we are all now taking a little pause to continue the negotiations, and i'm confident that the president's vision, not only providing good jobs for everyone through the infrastructure bill but also making sure that people can get those jobs. you can't tell people here's a job, and not provide the transportation to get to that job or without providing the child care to be able to get to that job. you can't do it without providing the good salaries, so it's all together, you know, it takes two to tan ggo, and on th one, we need to continue our work with the senate, and we're already, and we know we're on call, we need to come back. we're going to be ready to go vote, and make sure that the president's agenda and his vision continues to grow our economy and continues to build back better. >> and i think i heard you mention republicans and trying to work with them, but what most of us are seeing is that it's among democrats who are having a difficult time seeing eye to eye, and i mean, one would think the president would have some advantage working with the democrats, but it doesn't seem to be the case. he was up on capitol hill. it seems as though he's perhaps in a real struggle right thousand, a real challenge trying to get the party together. what -- i mean, how do you explain this? >> well, i was encouraged yesterday. we begin to see movement. from where we were a week ago there's some movement. as the president said, this is not something he hasn't talked about before. he talked about it during the campaign. all of us were elected to do our jobs, and it really comes down to working for the people. the people who send us to washington, we got to make sure that we grow our economy, that it is inclusive for everyone, that no one is left behind, and i think that he'll continue to work, you know, there's no magic to getting it done today or tomorrow. we will be back and make sure that it gets done. he's continue to go work with the senators that he still needs to talk to and continue to work with the members of the house that may need some nudging, but i think there's a lot of unity the in room when he visited with us. i think the numbers are probably a little bit different today than they were yesterday. >> okay. i'm hearing your optimism. congresswoman sylvia garcia, thank you so much. hopefully it stops raining where you are at the march. and stay dry. and stay well. >> yes, ma'am. all right. thank you for having me. bye bye. >> thank you. we'll be right back. my family was a big part of my journey, but i needed to do it for myself. never in a million years did i think i would lose 78 pounds. ww. weight loss that works. wellness that works. download the ww app today for a 14-day free trial! hey hun hey, get your own vapors relax with vicks vapobath or with vicks vaposhower. take a soothing vicks vapo moment wherever you chose. do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet?
