governor called an employee of his, someone who he had power over, called them to a private place and then sexually assaulted her is absolutely unacceptable. it is disgusting to me and he can no longer serve as governor. harris: all of that means governor cuomo s own current office has referred a complaint of alleged sexual misconduct to albany police as part of a state policy after a report that cuomo, an aide alleged she was groped by the governor. now more than half of all new york lawmakers are calling for cuomo to resign or be impeached. state assembly democrats have taken the first step toward impeachment investigation. cuomo continues to deny the allegations. the new york post is out with this cover page take a look. the headline, cuo must go. in a statement ocasio-cortez and jamal bowman say the latest allegation of groping from that sixth accuser is alarming and they say it raises the concerns about the present safety and well-being for the administration ....
have also said that this type of guidance is long overdue. nearly 60 million americans have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine and more than 30 million americans are now fully vaccinated. and while the vaccine rollout has accelerated rapidly in recent days, the timing remains critical. the top health experts in the country say new infection rates have plateaued at a very high level after falling for several weeks. and highly transmissible variants continue to spread throughout the country even as states are starting to loosen restrictions and in some places completely remove any masking requirements. so there is a lot that we re waiting to get some more guidance, to hear some from the covid response team when they begin the briefing any moment now. joining me now is elizabeth cohen and dr. jorge rodriguez, a viral specialist. so elizabeth, this has been long awaited guidance that we ll be hearing. what do you know about the level of detail or how gran ....
Been canceled since wednesday meaning kids are stuck at home learning nothing. in georgia, public school teachers and staff who test positive for covid no longer have to isolate before returning to work if they are asymptomatic and wearing a mask. no contract tracing is required. why that may seem counterintuitive, official guidance from the cdc hasn t been clear. white house aides and sicientiss are frus ttrated by the directo. nadia, this latest omicron surge is reaching all corners of society and you have different parts of the country responding differently right now. that s just the way it is. you re right, jim. we re seeing issues with school districts in new york city all the way to the bay area. san francisco and oakland. here in atlanta, they were back to remote learning all last week. they re hoping to head back to the classroom on monday and that will mean mandatory testing for ....
Around someone vulnerable. same thing with testing. the blanket universal testing guidance when we really need to ration a limited supply. something the cdc hasn t been comfortable with from the start. dana: they will no doubt be asked about testing. the white house has said that these tests were coming. it seems like the tests will get there after the peak of omicron. that s right. we ll be in a much better place in three or four weeks if we follow the pattern of south africa. no reason to think we re not going to. right now about half of 1% of all americans are getting the infection per day. maybe as high as 1% if you count the home tests out there that aren t being captured. yes, we cannot have guidance that tells everybody to test multiple times and at the same time folks are not going to change their behavior when they test positive sometimes. they shouldn t be getting tested. if a kid is sick stay home. doesn t matter what it is, we don t want them to school or ....
