america's epidemic of gun violence. multiple people killed in d denver, colorado. we'll tell you how police say it unfolded. so the u.s. is now averaging nearly 200,000 new covid infections each and every day. but that's not stopping the centers for disease control from cutting the isolation time for people who test positive. here's what's happening. the cdc now recommends isolating for five days, rather than ten, as long as a person has no symptoms. and here's the thing. you have to wear a mask for the next five days out of isolation. take a listen. >> it just makes sense. if you keep them out for five days. keep them isolated for five days. get them back doing their job, their work. keeping their mask on to protecting. they from infecting other individuals. >> now, meantime, testing in the united states just hasn't kept pace with the spread of the virus wait times. in some cities, it is two hours or more and of course a shortage of testing resources. the virus seem to be affecting more children than ever before. hospitalizations are up 35% in the past week alone. those numbers remain low in general. new york city has, though, seen a fivefold increase this month alone. and forced airline cancellations of thousands of flights during some of the busiest travel days of the year. more from cnn's alexander field reporting from new york. >> reporter: new guidance from the cdc. people infected with covid who are asymptomatic can shorten their isolation from ten days to five and then wear a mask around others for five days or more. those who are exposed should quarantine for five days. while those a are boosted may not need to quarantine at all after an exposure. all this as the country feels the strain of an omicron surge. sf we'll continue to see saurnlg for a while. i hope we peak and come down quickly. >> reporter: as infections spread quickly, officials still believe those vaccinated and boosted should remain protected from severe disease. but there are consequences for everyone. >> we have as of this morning 115 staff members out ill with covid. >> response teams are already working to even the burden on health care workers in colorado, michigan, new hampshire and new mexico as covid-related staffing shortages crim even more industries. new york city now running fewer subway trains with too many workers out sick. and airlines are at their busiest time. year, leaving even more passengers stranded. just about everywhere. domestically, 1,000 more flights canceled today. more than 2,500 globally. >> the reason the flight was canceled was because of a lack of flight attendants. so yeah. it's sad. really sad. >> four cruise ships with reported cases of covid were turned away from their ports of call in all too familiar reminder of where it all started. sports are not untouch either. more holiday plans get skramd, the struggle to get covid tests just too real. at a busy site in miami, the wait is more than two hours. cnn, new york. >> joining me now is dr. scott, a u.s. consultant with premiere medical group usa. i want to get right to the new cdc guidelines. do you think it is the right call? and do you think there should be a distinction between those who are vaccinated and those who are not? >> wow, paula, i think this surprised all of us when this came out. look when it is coming out. when we have a surge of the most infectious variant of covid that the world has seen. and it is confusing to everyone. we're getting called all over by employers and by different patients and different even departments of health are trying to interpret this. it is very confusing. here's the biggest thing concerns me. what do all of them state? wear a mask at the end of the five days. what about something we've been complaining about, which is what is the proper guidance for what impacts is effective and how could you wear it? everyone has seen it in public that people wear all varieties and we know they're not effective. so a very wrong time and very confusing messages to the american people right now. so i'm not very happy about it. >> you make good point about the masks. in some countries in europe and canada, the top doctors are saying, look, dix those cloth masks. we've not had anything like that directly. that succinctly from the cdc. the surge here in the united states is now very real and it follows, of course, south africa and europe. doctor, can we test our way out of this? can we vaccinate our way out of this? i can tell that you there is no one who seems to have any appetite, despite maybe in china, to lock our way out of this. >> well, the answer is a combination of both. and to mitigate our way out of that. so testing, we heard the president apologize numerous times to say, you know, we haven't had enough tests and we are not producing enough tests. in a perfect world, i would love to have every american have a home test they could test monday, wednesday and friday. and that way we could test out of it. but as it was stated, there are hours to get tests and not enough availability for the public. can we vaccinate our way out of this? ultimately, yes. we need to get the third shots in the arms. we need to get vaccinated right now. the problem is none of those are going to help us where we are right now, where we are at 200,000, 210,000 cases a day. we'll probably hit 500,000 within the next two weeks. if you look at different projections, the u.s. could be talking a million cases a day by the end of january. very serious. >> a million cases. wow! i have to ask but this troubling data and this increase in pediatric admissions. the number are still quite small. but of course, chilling, especially to parents. what should be the takeaway from this increase right now? >> well, one of them is the new york cases, half are under 5 and the other half are over 5. what we're seeing in the field is entire families are getting infected. fortunately we're not seeing a lot of pediatric very sick children on ventilators and things like that. but the message is be careful over the holidays. don't be going out in large public gatherings where you don't know who is there or there may be people who are unvaccinated. for your younger children, buy masks that fit. the message is be careful with children before we let our guard down. >> yeah. they have been mostly spared and we certainly want to keep it that way. we've seen a sharp rise in cases. we saw it in south africa first. that led to moderate increase in hospitalizations there. and then a steep decline really in new cases. there is some evidence that's happening if europe but it is early yet. is it too hopeful to think this is the normal of this surge? a sharp spike by a rapid decrease? and milder disease? >> yes. too early. that rumor is a rumor that is causing some of the spike we're seeing. right now, we're really focusing on what is going on in the u.k. and london. we're looking at france. at some of the countries that have parallel vaccination rates. very civilized health care and good data collection. and right now if you look at the london hospitalizations, they are rising the same rate as they did with delta. now, granted, not as many people in the icu and ventilators but we still in the united states have a mix of delta, too. so we have to be careful. we can't let our guard down. and we will have more data within the next two to three weeks that will tell us, is omicron slightly less lethal? less serious? but not yet. >> while we hope, of course, that's the case, as you point out in two or three cases, the cases could have significantly spiked even from the point we're at now. thank you. we really appreciate it. >> thank you, paula. >> as we mentioned earlier, omicron's rapid spread is disrupting holiday travel across the globe. and chinese destinations particularly hard hit. it comes as authorities are trying to contain a growing situation there. they reported 175 cases on monday, small, of course, to other countries, but that is the highest daily count in a chinese city since march of 2020. in europe, meantime, itly battling its highest case of numbers of the pandemic, reporting nearly 55,000 new infections christmas day alone. cnn's steven jang has the latest west begin with barbara in rome for us. italy like so many european countries is dealing with the surge. we talked earlier about how the cdc was changing isolation and quarantine regulations. >> they're looking at the quarantine times because it is easy to test here in europe. it is very, very convenient to get tested and some of the things you're talking about in italy, if you test positive, you can test out of it after, even before your ten-day quarantine is up. you know, you're looking at all sorts of restrictions. they're tossing around the idea that if you're exposed to someone who tested positive, you only have to wait three days and take a test. you only have to isolate three days. that of course keeps people working. you talk about the travel, that is affecting every country in europe. that people are out sick that should be at work helping people in the travel industry or in the health care industry. thing like that. a complicated mix. issues here. >> the local authorities, health authorities are being very sfwrikt those isolation and quarantine times and it is affecting people there. italy is just one example of a european country with a fairly high vaccination rate. what is the reaction to the latest surge? especially as hospitalizations rise? it is moderate. they are still rising. >> that's right. people are disappointed. there is a high vaccination rate here. people did the right thing. they got vaccinate, getting boosted. the children are getting vaccinated. and the fact that they are still getting infected is very disappointing. these cases don't seem to be like they were in march of 2020 when everybody was on a ventilator and they were losing who got care and who didn't. the people in the hospitals just aren't as sick as they were in the last wave. people are looking at that as an optimistic thing. there are still a lot of cases, a lot of sick people, a lot of sick people out. >> and i'm vur very scary for people who arrived at the hospital knowing there is a staffing shortage. we want to go to asia and china. yet another city in the strictest of lockdowns. and success for china is in the eye of the beholder. there are only 175 cases. and yet, it's not zero which tends to worry officials in china. is there any indication what is at work here? and if it has anything to do with the new variant, omicron? >> so far there's little evidence of omicron in china. the few cases detected seem to be limited to international arrivals. but officials and state media have pointed to the fast run of the omicron variant to further joits the zero covid policy. which is why authorities are doing what they are doing many other parts of china have done in previous instances. mass testing, mass quarantining and extensive training. they're putting on a very brave face. they are very much under control despite the alarming number. they say these numbers are expected. experts say a lot of the new infections are indeed close contact to previously confirmed patients. so these numbers will stabilize soon and start decreasing. this outcome will be over in about a month's time. most residents at home. the city saying what they need to do is come to a complete standstill as the government focuses on fighting this outbreak. something probably only possible in the top down structure. >> yeah. the lockdowns in china something to behold. something you've been reporting on for almost two years. and that has been the time line that we've seen the travel difficulties to china. still no sign that the situation easing. what are some of the travel issues we're seeing now? >> well, you can, travel restrictions have become part of the new normal for travelers in this country, even though it is under the global spotlight. whenever cases emerge in the city, they tend to halt flights in and out of that. that doesn't matter how big or how busy the airport is. in the case with china, the airport handled more than 131 million passengers even amid the pandemic. but last week the terminals have been almost completely abandoned with all domestic flights canceled. >> thank you. california authorities are investigating after a police officer' stray bullet killed a young girl. ng. to meetings. errands. now i'm running for me. i've always dreamed of seeeeing the world. but i'm not chasing my dream anymore. i made a f financial plan to live it every day. ♪ at northwestern mutual, our version of financial planning helps you live your dreams today. find a northwestern mutual advisor at nm.com (upbeat music) - [narrator] this is kate. she always wanted her smile to shine. now, she uses a capful of therabreath healthy smile oral rinse to give her the healthy, sparkly smile she always wanted.

and specifically, what does your training tell you about what happened here? >> well, we have to first acknowledge that the officers were responding to a code three radio call, which is the highest priority call we respond to. that means red lights and sirens. en route to this call they're being told there are shots fired somewhere within this department store. once we see the officers get on the scene we see them do a great job tactically of communicating, getting organized as they prepare to enter the locations. and are communicating, planning what they're going to do, if and when they encounter the suspect. we now know that the suspect had in his hand a chain with a lock on the end of it. and i would imagine as he was viciously beating this female victim with this chain and lock, it probably sounded to the witnesses like shots were being fired. so that's what was in the mindset of these officers. they're going to encounter an armed individual. we saw them try to find out as quickly as we could whether or not they were patrons within proximity of the suspect. then as they enter the second level where he was alleged to be, we hear the officers communicate. lapd, we're coming up. make yourself identifiable if you can hear our voices. at some point, there after, they encounter the suspect. we can see on the video that there's some distance between the suspect and the victim on the floor and there is a large rack of clothes which won't really provide the officers with any concealment. which means if the suspect is armed with a handgun as they believe, and if he were to take a shot at the officers, they could be struck. the only thing between the officers and the suspect is really distance and clothing. and so when the suspect sees the officers, we see him duck out of the line sight, out of the eyesight of the officers. and i'm assuming that they believe he's armed and he can fire the weapon at us. so the officer who had the ability to take a shot did so. >> i'm interested that you say that this was likely, given your experience what police officers would be doing. was there an alternative posture here? could they have tried to approach him without using deadly force? or would that be unreasonable given everything you just went through? >> given what i'm assuming was in their mind, their perception, they're going to encounter someone who is armed with a handgun. that was the information they were working off of. the suspect has a gun. shots have been fired. when they encounter this suspect and he ducks out of view, it is not inconceivable for them to think this suspect may very well start shooting at us. so when they had the opportunity to take a shot, the first officer did so and fatally wounded the suspect. i don't see how the officers could have done anything different in this instance, given the information that had been provided to them. we now know hindsight being 20/20 as we monday night quarterback the situation, that the suspect was unarmed. the officers were responding and reto the suspect. he had every opportunity should he have decided to do so, to surrender. to throw his hands up in the air and show to the officers that he wasn't armed. to drop down on to his knees and show that he was not a threat to the officer and he did none of that. >> we've had so many controversies with policing in recent months and years. do you think that there is something that has to fundamentally change about tactics and training here? or do you think this is just the reality of the violence that police and unfortunately, every day people confront every day in their lives right now in the united states? >> well, certainly what we saw in this video is inherent to police work. and there are people out there who don't comply. they want to do harm to police officers and just as we have seen officers take a life, unnecessarily, we have seen citizens take the life of police officers who have ambushed police officers just very recently, a young black female officer was ambushed, shot in the head and recently taken off life support. no officer wants to use deadly force, is what i would like to believe. but there are inassistances when this is what we take an oath to do. in this instance, was the onners were defending the life of this young woman who was being savagely beaten by this suspect by this chain which had a lock on the end of it. and but for her being able to withstand that beating, she, too, could have lost her life. >> the video is so incredibly disturbing. i know there will be many more investigations to come. sergeant dorsey, i really appreciate your perspective. thank you. now, jury deliberations will resume tuesday in the sex trafficking trial of the long time companion of jeffrey epstein. notes to the judge could include insight into the jury's thought process. the jurors have asked for more transcripts and the legal definition of the word enticement which is part of two of the six charges. the jury had asked for testimony from all four women whose claims formed thor cost case against maxwel. exhausted and traumatized. health care workers are under stress as the u.s. sees another surge in covid cases. i'll speak with an icu nurse experiencing it first hand. plus, surging cases creating a mess for airline as staff call out sick and passengers lose their cool. we'll tell you how to keep it as painless as possible if your flight is among the many to be canceled. don't trust the process.

>> to be honest, the brutal reality is these patients are going through a lot of suffering. their families are going through a lot of suffering. we still have a lot of restrictions where family members cannot visit. and there's still a lot of death, to be frank. patients are still dying. >> patients are still dying. you know, we have been talking so much about this for nearly two years now. is there action that you still think needs to take place? because i know you guys are it tooing this every day. and yet the exhaustion among you must be so acute. >> absolutely. you know, in the beginning we all thought, all of us thought this would be over and it just continues to punch us right in the gut. exhaustion takes over every single day. i just finished a 12-hour shift and i have to come back tomorrow and on the weekend and we're short staffed and every day, i could literally work seven days a week, 24 hours a day if i wanted to because we are that short staffed. there's just, we're exhausted. you can't deal with this for so long and not be exhausted. exhaustion is a huge deal right now. >> we can definitely hear it in your voice. and beth, your job isn't like other people's jobs, right? when you're exhausted, it means people suffer. that you are not doing the best that you feel you can do for your patients, right? >> absolutely. i mean, exhaustion can take over every part of your brain. and you know, especially here in the icu but nursing in general. exhaustion can affect lives in a very real manner, a very quick manner. you have to be on top of your game and that is something we struggle with when we're tired and exhausted. mentally, emotionally, physically drained, and sad with everything that these patients and families are going through. every single day. >> i can really hear the empathy in your voice. it really affects you each and every day having to see the suffering. >> yeah. it affects all of us. not just me. you know, in the icu we have patients that pass away. that's just the name of the game. with covid, they pass away in numbers that none of us have dealt with or know how to deal with. and that trauma, repeated trauma over and over again, it's very hard to deal with consistently. especially for two years now. so that's something that a lot of us are struggling with. learning how to continue to continue to cope with this. >> i'm so glad that you brought that up. the fact that you have been dealing with this for such a long time. we're used to these very trite analogies with war. but you've been at this for almost two years with hardly any respite whatsoever. when you think about the toll it is taking, you said trauma. you're clear. that's what it feels like. >> absolutely. it's hard to describe but everyone deals with it differently with you we are all traumatized in our own ways. it has definitely impacted my life completely. i feel differently than i was before this. we've all gone through and seen some really hard, horrible things. and definitely strahm a word that i fall back on. it is the only thing i can think of to explain the last two years. >> and it's been a year since we've had the vaccine and now you're dealing with breakthrough infections. the cdc has come up with these new recommendations, right? people like you no longer have to isolate for ten days. if you don't have symptoms, you can come back to work after five days. does this help? or are you also stressed about that? >> i worry about them. because for two years, we've been holding these guidelines. and we've been doing really, really good over all as a hospital. not having a lot of breakthrough infections. and you in we've had a lot of breakthrough infections. and we're just not really sure what is the cause of it. and it certainly feels scary to lessen the time frame that we need to isolate. >> right. and it could be putting more of you at risk. i know this is a desperate act, really. and even if the cdc didn't say it, it certainly feels that way, i'm sure. beth, we will continue to touch base with you. i'm sure so many people in your community are depending on you and i can feel the empathy in your voice and i want to thank you for letting in our audience into a little of what your life is like right now. appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you very much. i appreciate it. this is an important story and it needs to be said so thank you. >> so many front line health care workers going through it. the omicron variant is causing big problems for the airline industry as well. thousands of flights were canceled at the last minute due to staffing shortages, leaving passengers stranded after christmas, just wanting to get home. more now from new york. >> reporter: more than mean the 00 -- 1,300 flights candceled o monday and more expected on tuesday, with crew members calling in sick. they're trying the get passengers home after the holiday weekend which saw thousands more cancellations. of course, all this coming as the omicron virus continues to spread through the country. the big question that was asked of dr. fauci, if passengers should be vaccinated. should there be a mandate for passengers to be vaccinated? here's what he said. >> everything that come up as a possibility, we put it on the table and we consider it. that does not mean it will be likely to happen. right now i don't think people should expect we're going to have a requirement in domestic flights for people to be vaccinated. when i was asked that question, they gave an honest answer. it is on the table. >> reporter: with the new cdc guidelines shortening the amount of time people need to isolate with coronavirus, that could help ease some of the staffing shortages that they now have. cnn, new york. so traveling during the pandemic, you know, means plans can be disrupted at any point in time. cnn has gathered some excellent travel tips to put you at ease. now first, avoid getting trapped at the airport. that's key. check your night status from your home or hotel so you don't have to wait at the airport. especially as these cases are surging. if you're at the airport, speak with an airline agent as soon as you find out your flight has been rescheduled. representatives often operate on a first come, first serve basis. next. ask for hotel accommodations if your flight is delayed overnight and you're out of town. however, airlines have many different policies. and finally, be open to rescheduling your trip. you may be eligible for free flight changes without penalty and you can find more of these tips on our website at cnn.com. okay. still to come for us, western concerns remain even as russia says its troops have he saided training at the ukraine border. and pre serving soviet history. how one group's efforts are at risk.

tutu, who won the nobel peace prize for his resistance to apartheid, will be laid to rest on new year's day. cnn's larry madowo tells us about plans for tutu's funeral and why it won't be a large and elaborate affair. >> reporter: the late archbishop desmond tutu will not get a big stadium funeral service like that of nelson mandela, his contemporary in the anti-apartheid struggle. that is because of current restrictions because of the pandemic in south africa. only 100 people will be allowed for the funeral service at st. george's cathedral in cape town. after that, his ashes will be interred behind the high altar in the church that was once called the people's cathedral during the apartheid struggle. this is in respect of his wishes and in consultation with his widow, blair tutu. president cyril ramaphosa visited with his family in cape town, and afterwards, this is what he had to say. >> if there ever was one person who really promoted social cohesion, it was archbishop desmond tutu. a lot of great things can be said about him. his global status, the love that he is being showered with from across the various countries in the world just speaks volumes of what he stood for. >> reporter: because of that love that president ramaphosa talks about, south africans have been encouraged not to travel to cape town for the funeral service. instead, memorial services are being held this week all across the nation in parishes and cathedrals. the body of archbishop desmond tutu will also lie in state at st. george's cathedral in cape town on friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to allow people to pay their respects. beyond the tributes from kings and queens and royalty and leaders from around the world, ordinary people are also remembering him on social media. if you're neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. that is why this south african national treasure, african hero, and global icon has touched so many lives and will be remembered by so many. larry madowo, cnn, nairobi. now it's time to take this heartwarming moment as a baby bald eagle hatched monday in florida. mom harriet laid the egg on november 20th. since
