Hello again, everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. I am fredricka whitfield. Happening now, the Nations Capital on high alert. Substantial Police Presence and Crowd Control measures in places, demonstrators in support of The Mob which stormed the capitol January 6th gathered in Washington Today for a rally. It was just nine months ago we saw these terrifying scenes unfolding. Hundreds of people scaling walls, breaking windows, Storming Hallways of the capitol, yelling to find Nancy Pelosi and to hang mike pence. Lawmakers and the Vice President ran to safety. Capitol police horribly outnumbered and targeted by The Mob. One officer died. More than 100 were hurt. Some seriously. Three other officers later died by suicide. Today, the scene quite different. Barriers, fencing surrounding the capitol. Hundreds of officers in position should demonstrations grow violent. We have a team of correspondents covering every angle of this.

Nearly 27 of all new weekly cases are children. That is a much higher percentage than we have seen over the course of the pandemic. Now, it is important to note that while a quarter of all new cases are now among kids, they represent a much smaller portion of those hospitalized, about 2. 5 of hospitalizations. Though, the raw number of children hospitalized does continue to climb. Look at that graphic, higher than its ever been. Nearly 2,400 kids in hospital beds at the moment. Overall hospitalizations and hospitalizations have been one of the more accurate ways to measure the trajectory of the pandemic, they do appear to be leveling off. Lets hope that trend continues. Yeah, lets hope. Now schools that reopened in the south where governors fought Mask Mandates are paying a deadly price. One dis
