But widespread availability and Herd Immunity still months away. Lets say in may vaccines are going to be widely available to almost anybody, may, june, but it may take until june, july and august to finally get everyone vaccinated. Reporter the u. S. Reports its lowest number of cases since october, but experts warn a new wave could be coming, fueled by uncontrolled variants. More than 1,100 cases of those report ed across at least 42 states. Thats something that everybody has to be even more cautious about. And nice to see the number of cases drop but it could be misleading. Thats the important thing there. Kaylee with us. And dr. Fauci just last week said most americans would be eligible, at least, for vaccinations by april, but today, he now said may, saying the reality is that most night not get the vaccine until june, july, august. What was the reason he gave for that . Reporter yeah, david. Dr. Faucis pushing that timeline back, admitting hes a little disappointed. He said its because Johnson Johnson will be producing fewer doses than they set an earlier estimate on. David . Kaylee hartung, thank you.

When you think of armed, dont you think of firearms . Reporter in that new lawsuit, the naacp and prominent democratic congressman Bennie Thompson lay blame for the riot at the feet of president trump, guiliani and groups like the proud boys and oath keepers, citing the 1871 ku klux klan act, which bans any actions designed to prevent congress from carrying out its duties.
