Thats a goal that president biden had hoped to reach on July 4th. This milestone happening as the Delta Covid Variant ravages through the unvaccinated. Were also learning more than 99 of the fully vaccinated arent getting Breakthrough Cases of any kind. Thats according to a new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation. So, the breakdown here is that Breakthrough Cases are extremely rare if youre vaccinated. Many City And State Health Officials are trying to urge precautions without forcing them because it could get much worse before it gets better. Reporter across the nation, more vaccines are going into arms. As of sunday more than 700,000 doses administered daily for five days straight.

Virtual, thats a Completion Kind of model that weve had in place for years. Youre not in touch with a teacher live every day. So what do you do if theres an outbreak at a school without that live interact with the teacher considering you dont offer the state funded virtual option . So we would actually be similar to what weve done in years past when children are out sick.

But this week really might be different. Two major Infrastructure Bills are working their way through the senate. Theres the bipartisan bill which is worth about 579 billion. Then theres a 3. 5 trillion package that democrats hope to pass through reconciliation. This week will be critical. By friday we could know whether congress can pass either or neither or both. House and senate democrats seem unified if their approach to the twobill strategy. Much of that unity may depend on goodfaith negotiations with republicans on the bipartisan bill. It may not hold if the gop walks away from this framework. So far, congressional republicans have not been unified by many things as strongly as their opposition to President Bidens agenda. This morning, Rob Portman said no to a democratic proposal in the bipartisan bill. It would have

Im Dana Bash in washington where the state of our union is seeing red. Coronavirus cases are surging across the country once again, as the highly contagious Delta Variant spreads. All 50 states and washington, d. C. Are now seeing a rise in cases. Thats the first time that has happened since january.
