DELTA VARIANT AND ITS NOW
FUELING A SUMMER SPIKE IN
CORONAVIRUS CASES.
>> AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
HOSPITALIZATIONS, MORE
CONTAGIOUS STRAIN IS NOW
MAKING UP NEARLY 60% OF NEW
CASES NATIONWIDE WITH MORE
UNVACCINATED PEOPLE.
>> SHOWING UP AT HOSPITALS.
SPEAKING OF VACCINATIONS, THEY
ARE A LAGGING DOWN 54% FROM
JUST LAST WEEK. EXPERTS ARE
WARNING WITHOUT HIGH VACCINATION NUMBERS. DELTA
VACCINATION NUMBERS. DELTA
VARIANT IS HERE TO STAY.
>> THE DELTA VARIANT GOING TO
MOVE ITS WAY THROUGH THE
COUNTRY OVER THE COURSE OF
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER MAYBE
INTO OCTOBER. UNFORTUNATELY,
THE WORST IS YET TO COME. ITS
GOING TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT
GETS BETTER IN TERMS OF THE
SPREAD OF THIS INFECTION RIGHT
NOW.
>> AND THE THING IS HEALTH AND
MEDICAL REPORTER ERIKA EDWARDS
JOINS US NOW. SO ERICA,
HOSPITALS, ESPECIALLY IN THE
SOUTH ARE DEALING WITH AN
INCREASE IN PATIENTS. WHATS
THE LATEST THERE?
>> HEY, JOE. GOOD MORNING. YOU
KNOW, YOURE GOING TO SEE
SERVICE ANYWHERE. YOU HAVE LOW
LEVELS OF VACCINATION
HOSPITALIZATIONS IN
MISSISSIPPI, FOR EXAMPLE, HAVE
DOUBLED SINCE JULY FORD. THAT
STATE HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST
VACCINATION RATES IN THE
COUNTRY. AND JUST ABOUT 33%.
ALSO WORRISOME THERE. THE
HEALTH OFFICER FOR STATE
HEALTH OFFICER SAID THAT 7
CHILDREN ARE IN THE ICU WITH
COVID-19 2 OF THOSE CHILDREN
ARE ON VENTILATORS NOW CASES
ARE ALSO SURGING IN PLACES
LIKE ARKANSAS HAD A
VACCINATION RATE OF JUST ABOUT
35% IN NEIGHBORING MISSOURI
CASES ARE ALSO SURGING THEIR
VACCINATION RATE IS LESS THAN
40%. HEALTH OFFICIALS AND
NURSES. THERE ARE URGING
PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VACCINE
TALK WITH THEIR DOCTORS. AND
IF YOURE ABLE TO GET
VACCINATED.
>> YOU KNOW, ASK THE QUESTIONS
THAT YOU HAVE TO A LEGITIMATE
SOURCE SO THAT YOU CAN BE
FULLY EDUCATED. I HAVE NOT
TAKING CARE OF A FULLY
VACCINATED. PATIENTS BEEN
SPENT ON A VENTILATOR.
>> 59% OF ADULTS HERE IN THE
U.S. I WOULD FULLY VACCINATED.
JOE, BACK TO YOU. ERICA. I
KNOW YOU HAVE SOME NEW
REPORTING THIS MORNING ON HOW
THE VACCINES COULD PREVENT
PEOPLE BECOMING COVID
LONGHAULERS. THOSE ARE PEOPLE
WHO DEAL WITH THE EFFECTS
WEEKS EVEN MONTHS AFTER FIRST
GETTING SICK. WHAT DO YOU DO
IT? WHAT DID YOU LEARN?
>> YES, SO WE KNOW THE
VACCINATIONS CAN HELP REDUCE
THE RISK OF BECOMING SEVERELY
ILL GETTING INTO THE HOSPITAL
OR EVEN DYING FROM COVID-19.
THAT MEANS EVEN IF YOURE
INFECTED AFTER YOURE FULLY
VACCINATED, YOU REALLY MISS IS
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE MILD.
BUT INCREASINGLY IN HEARING
FROM DOCTORS NATIONWIDE THAT
THEY ARE JUST NOT SEEN CASES
ALONG COVID POP-UP FOLLOWING
VACCINATION. NOW, THIS IS ALL
ANECDOTAL SO BUT THERE IS SOME
PRELIMINARY DATA BACKING IT
UP. RESEARCHERS WASHINGTON
UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS HAVE
BEEN SCOURING DATABASES
COMPARING MILLIONS OF CASES.
AND SO FAR THE RESEARCH IS
SUGGESTING THAT THE RISK FROM
BECOMING A LONG HAULER
FOLLOWING VACCINATION IS VERY
LOW. NOW, THERE WAS ONE
CABBIE. I WANT TO BRING IT
COULD BE THAT ITS JUST TOO
SOON TO RECOGNIZE THESE CASES
BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE STARTED
ROLLING OUT THE VACCINE TO FEW
MONTHS AGO, JOE AMERICA, I
HAVE TO ASK YOU ABOUT MIGHT BE
THIS WEEK. LIBYA RIVALRY GO
BEAT THE JETS. THE POP STAR.
SHE WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
YESTERDAY AS PART OF A PUSH TO
BOOST VACCINATIONS, ESPECIALLY
FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE. WHAT CAN
YOU TELL US ABOUT HER VISIT.
YEAH, THATS RIGHT.
SINGER-SONGWRITER WAS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE YESTERDAY TO
RECORD SOME VIDEOS ENCOURAGING
YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET THE THOSE
VIDEOS WILL LATER BE RELEASED
ON HER SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS.
JOE, I KNOW THEY CAN FOLLOW
ALL OF SHE WAS THERE. SHE
STOPPED BRIEFLY TO TALK WITH
REPORTERS WHO SHE IS.
>> I AM BEYOND HONORED AND
HUMBLED TO BE HERE TODAY HELP
SPREAD THE MESSAGE ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF NEW VACCINATION.
LOVE THE WORD PRESIDENT BIDEN
AND DOCTOR FAUCI HAVE DONE AND
WAS HAPPY TO HELP WHEN MY
SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT
INITIATIVE.
>> JOE, TO THE PEOPLE ACROSS
THE U.S. HAVE SOME OF THE
LOWEST VACCINATION RATES IN
THE COUNTRY. BACK TO YOU. AND
IM NOT THE ONLY FOLLOWER.
MORE THAN 28 MILLION
FOLLOWERS. SHE HAS A QUITE A
REACH. THEIR. ERICA, THANKS SO
MUCH.
>> PRESIDENT BIDEN IS PUSHING
FORWARD WITH SOME SENATE
DEMOCRATS 3.5 TRILLION DOLLAR
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN MEETING
WITH THAT GROUP ON CAPITOL
HILL YESTERDAY TO TALK ABOUT
HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. DEMOCRATS
ARE HOPING TO USE THE BUDGET
PROCESS TO AVOID A FILIBUSTER
AS WEVE SEEN BEFORE. AND
THEREFORE PASS IT WITHOUT
NEEDING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT,
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND SENATE
MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER
SEEM CONFIDENT ABOUT THE BILL
ON THEIR WAY INTO THAT MEETING.
♪
>> AND THE SENIOR WHITE HOUSE
CORRESPONDENT EMILY JOINS US
NOW TO MIKE. THEY SAY THEY ARE
GETTING IT DONE. BUT THESE
MEETINGS, THESE NEGOTIATIONS
HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS
EVEN WITH REPUBLICANS, OF
COURSE, FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
SO EXPLAIN WHERE WERE AT
RIGHT NOW. ONE OF THE TO PASS
THE SENATE IS PURSUING AND
WHATS IN THIS 3.5 TRILLION
DOLLAR VERSION OF THE PLAN.
>> WELL, SAVANNAH, CERTAINLY
THIS WAS A BIG STEP FORWARD
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AS THEY
MOVE ON THIS DUAL TRACK
STRATEGY STILL HAVE THOUGH
ITS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, NO
FINAL LEGISLATIVE TEXT HAS
BEEN WRITTEN FOR EITHER ONE OF
THESE 2 MAJOR PROPOSALS. BUT
WE KNOW THE BROAD CONTOURS OF
IT. YOU HAVE ROUGHLY
579 BILLION DOLLARS IN THAT
BIPARTISAN PACKAGE ON
TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
ROADS, BRIDGES EXPANDING
BROADBAND ACCESS AS WELL AS
REPLACING WATER PIPELINES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT 3.5
TRILLION DOLLAR LIKELY
DEMOCRATS A LOAN PACKAGE HAS
MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT
DEMOCRATIC PRIORITIES LIKE
EXPANDING MEDICARE BENEFITS TO
INCLUDE HEALTH DATA TO THE
DENTAL AND VISION BENEFITS.
YOU HAVE OTHER SIGNIFICANT
CLIMATE PROVISIONS WHICH HAVE
BEEN A BIG PRIORITY. NOW, THE
PRIORITY HERE, OF COURSE, FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE IS MAKING SURE
BOTH OF THESE RUN ON TIME
BECAUSE REMEMBER, HE SAID HE
NEEDS TO SIGN BOTH AT THE SAME
TIME. WELL HAVE SALUTE LEE.
AND NOW MIKE, WE ALSO KNOW
THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD THIS
MEETING WITH GOVERNORS.
>> AND MAYORS AT THE WHITE
HOUSE. OF COURSE, THE TYPES OF
OFFICIALS THAT WOULD BE QUITE
IMPACTED BY AN INFRASTRUCTURE
PLAN. AND THIS CAME UP WHEN HE
SAY ABOUT IT.
>> YEAH, THIS IS A A MEETING
YESTERDAY WHICH SHOWS YOU THE
DUAL STRATEGIES THAT THE
PRESIDENT IS PURSUING MEETING
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH
DEMOCRATS ON A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT IS GOING TO
ONLY PASS WITH DEMOCRATS
SPORT, BUT THEN MEETING WITH A
GROUP OF REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS TO PUSH THIS
BIPARTISAN PACKAGE. BUT IT WAS
DURING THAT MEETING WHERE HE
TALKED ABOUT HIS MEETING WITH
THE DEMOCRATS. TAKE A LISTEN.
>> SPOKE TO THE.
♪
ICE BIPARTISAN PRETTY GOOD
SHAPE. THERE MAY BE SOME
SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO WITH THE
HOW PAY FOR. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT. THE SLAIN CHANGES.
AGREEMENT. THE SLAIN CHANGES.
IM NOT SURE.
>> AND TODAY THE PRESIDENT IS
GOING TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT A
TEMPORARY BENEFIT THAT HE
HOPES TO MAKE A LEAST A LITTLE
BIT MORE PERMANENT. THAT
EXPANSION OF THE CHILD TAX
CREDIT LATER TODAY.
>> NOW, MIKE. ALL RIGHT. THE
BIG QUESTION HERE, THOUGH, IS
HOW DO ANY OF THESE PLANS, ANY
OF THESE DIFFERENT PASS OF THE
PRESIDENT IS PURSUING REALLY
GET THE SUPPORT THAT IT NEEDS.
I MEAN, ITS UNLIKELY TO GET
ANY REPUBLICAN SUPPORT. BUT
THERE ARE MEMBERS OF HIS OWN
PARTY THAT HAVE BEEN WILD CARD
SAYS THE PRESIDENT HAVE THE
FULL SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATS.
YOU KNOW, THERES A FEW AND
SPECIFICALLY THAT IM ASKING
ABOUT. THATS RIGHT.
>> WELL, WE HEARD YESTERDAY
FROM THE LEADING PROGRESS IS
IN THE PARTY. BERNIE SANDERS,
ELIZABETH WARREN REALLY
EXPECTS PRESSING THEIR STRONG
SUPPORT FOR THIS. WHAT WE HAVE
A LOT OF HURT AS ROBUSTLY AS
JOE MANCHIN IS KIRSTEN CINEMA.
THOSE MODERATES IN THE CAUCUS.
BUT REMEMBER WHEN THE
PRESIDENT PASSED THAT 1.9
TRILLION DOLLAR COVID RELIEF
BILL IN MARCH. WE ARE WAITING
UP UNTIL THE LAST SECOND TO
KNOW HOW THEYRE GOING VOTE. I
EXPECT THE SAME PROBABLY
HAPPEN WITH THIS ONE AS WELL.
SO ALL RIGHT. MIKE MEMOLI, AS
ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
REPORTING. GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

NOTHER BATTLE. DID THEY KNOW
IT. FEDERAL LEGISLATION IS THE
ONLY WAY THEYRE GOING TO
ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS A
LITTLE BIT TO WHAT SENATOR
WARREN HAD TO SAY ABOUT THE
CONVERSATION.
>> I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR
COMING HERE TO REMIND IN A
VERY PERSONAL WAY. PEOPLE ARE
FIGHTING ACROSS THIS NATION TO
PROTECT ACCESS TO THE VOTE.
THOSE TEXAS LEGISLATORS ARE
HERE BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND
THE VOTING IS THE BEATING
HEART OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE
REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS AND
REPUBLICANS ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY. I BELIEVE THAT THE
ONLY WAY THEY CAN HANG ON TO
POWER. ITS KEEPING AMERICAN
CITIZENS FROM VOTING. THATS
NOT HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS. AND
ITS UP TO US TO FIGHT BACK.

GOAL. WHY THEYRE GOING TO BE

THEY WANT TO SHOW THAT THEY AS
THEIR PLIGHT AND THEIR
STRUGGLES THAT THEY FACE BACK

TO BE ITS BE CAREFUL BECAUSE
WHAT THEY WANT TO CARVE OUT.
BASICALLY THE IDEA THE
FILIBUSTER RULES APPLY TO
VOTING LEGISLATION LIKE THIS

ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN
THAT. SO THEYRE GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE THE CASE FOR HIM TO
REALLY LOOK ON A DEARLY HOLD
POSITION AT THE CENTER.
