gates, the message is even more urgent, leave immediately. one defense official told cnn there is a very specific threat stream from isis-k about planned attacks against the crowds. it specifically names three of the airport gates. let s go to nick payton walsh who is in doha, qatar, with breaking news on what we know about evacuations, the pace, and how much longer realistically people will be leaving, nic. reporter: realistically, 36 hours more. that s what a source familiar with the situation is telling me. if you look at the sheer numbers of people being taken off the airport, that begins to be a clear reflection of the reality. i understand today all the gates are fully closed. that s the access for ordinary people who don t have escorts or some arranged access with the americans, prearranged. that causes the numbers to slow significantly. there is a separate stream of people getting onto the airport who appear to be using access provided by the afghan security forces
in mississippi. the hospitals are full from memphis to gulf port, natchez to meridian. everything is full. everything is full. the i.c.u. crisis is getting more critical by the hour. some states are at or they are near capacity. only a few hundred beds are left in some of the largest states in the south, or in the case of mississippi you see there on your screen zero. mississippi is now requesting help from the federal government as they are dealing with this crush of coronavirus patients. and a critical staffing shortage. there s a field hospital that s now being set up in a parking lot that could be used to take care of older teenagers with coronavirus. some schools in mississippi, indiana and georgia have already gone back to virtual learning because of growing case numbers. many are now rethinking mask policies. west virginia republican governor jim justice warns that if cases continue to climb, as they clearly are, masks may be required in schools there. more childre
department. bill barr was donald trump s loyal attorney general for about two years, until december 1st of last year when bill barr had this shocking moment where he came out and publicly said, to date we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election. that was pretty much the end of the long-standing trump/barr relationship. barr was gone a few weeks later. in came jeffrey rosen who had been number two at the justice department. he moves up and becomes the acting attorney general and richard don owe hugh becomes number two. donald trump wasted no time pressuring these two to try to get on board with his election fraud theme. he called them we know from richard donohue s notes, what he told them to do was just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me, and the r republican congressman and as you just said with ambassador bolton, the chief of staff mark meadows got in on the act. he started emailing these two, giving t
transmissible. they have this data showing vaccinated people have viral loads the same as unvaccinated people when they get it. you re still far less likely to get sick, to be hospitalized and die. breakthrough infections are not so rare after all. while unvaccinated people are responsible for the vast majority of the spread, vaccinated people can spread it. so it s just a new point in the pandemic. the administration changed guidance on masking for vaccinated americans before this information came out. and there s a wonder, well, why did they do that? wouldn t it be helpful to see the science before the decision? what did you learn? we learned that they were so worried about this data that they felt that they had to get the guidance out even before the data was ready to publish. it should be published today. we should know more about it. there was a lot of frustration from outside scientists and experts saying, if you re saying this is the science you re basing this new
simply put, health information has cost us lives. joining me now is dr. dave choxey, new york city health commissioner. thank you for being with us now. i want to start with what s happening in los angeles. what happens the scientific justification for reinstituting a mask mandate even for people who have been vaccinated? this is an important question, and we ve been following the science very closely, particularly in the context of the delta variant which now makes up 69% of cases that we re sequencing here in new york city. what we do know is that when you re fully vaccinated, it does offer strong protection against particularly severe illness, but there are some cases where you will see particular places like los angeles that s going through a surge right now, reinstate those mask mandates, primarily to protect people who are unvaccinated. right, but i guess the issue there is, then, unless you put down the mandate for everybody, the unvaccinated people just won t w
