health care crisis. hospital staff are attacked and killed, forcing doctors overseas and search of safer conditions and baset bay. ah, it's just over 3 weeks in south africa reported the discovery of a new varying to the corona virus and it's already having a significant impact on the corners fueling infections around the world. sparking new restrictions, cases and deaths are reaching alarming levels in the united states. on average more than a $120000.00 infections are reported each day, which is a rise of 40 percent on last month. the number of deaths is climbing as well, with almost 1300 fatalities a day. many universities across the country reverting to online teaching and sports events have been canceled or postponed. the head of the white house cove response

team as one that the on vaccinated are not just pushing their own lives at risk for the and vaccinated. you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families. in the hospitals you may soon overwhelm, i'm for sure, joins us live now for washington. and so how are the hospitals and employees preparing for another wave of this virus while as cast her mom back to july. when joe biden at the white house said that the united states was kicking at the viruses, but that's clearly not happening. know there is a big concern about the surgeon cases just in the last few days. we've seen the admit west and also the ne, be seriously hit. so places like michigan that had huge increases in the number of people hospitalized. let's take connecticut 24 percent rise there in the number of

hospital cases just than the last few days. so you can see that there is a concern that hospital sits, systems could possibly be overwhelmed from the white house and also medical experts . they're saying, look, the best way to combat this is to make sure you're vaccinated, double jobs, and make sure you get the booster because they believe that there is a blizzard of viral infections coming over the next few weeks. and those who aren't vaccinated are the ones that will be the brunt that is going to cause real problems . here's another problem. we're coming up to christmas and the new year holiday year in the united states. remember a month ago we were talking about thanksgiving. and how is a big travel time pills into insignificance about the number of people traveling between christmas and new year? it is the busiest time of the year in airports. there's going to be a big gatherings all over the place. so that is a concern for health officials as well. we're seeing some schools cancer and sporting events. we're seeing some national football league teams, professional football league teams cancelling events this we can, restaurants are talking about how bookings are already down about 50 percent

because people are scared. omicron is a real concern for the white house, for health officials, and for hospitals all over the united states and how politicized as the current policy response and lack seen out. kc. well, joe biden must be aware that every time he says gets vaccinated. there's a part of society that isn't listening for almost 40 percent of americans are vaccinated and most of them, according to all the surveys are republicans. and the studies we're seeing is that the number of people dying are mainly people who identify as republicans. so when you get a blue state, a state that is normally a concert, sorry, a democrat at the rate of infections, the rate of vaccinations, much, much vaccinations. lor, sorry, vaccinations, higher infections, much law. and so the republicans seem to be saying,

we're not going to do what joe biden tells us, and there has been a lack of leadership. some would suggest from republicans telling people to go and get vaccinated as well. so that is a big concern, but certainly the next couple of weeks you remember a year ago, we were talking about delta. this time it's on the kron and there is a deep concern over the next few weeks. that the situation in the united states. but as it is no, is going to get much worse. thank you very much, adam fisher with all the latest from washington. meanwhile, here in the u. k. i have been another record day of coven cases. and just over 93000 infections registered on friday, about 3200 of those cases are confirmed to be on the crank. total number of cases in the u. k is risen by about 39 percent in just 7 days, but the death rate remains relatively low. researches are imperial college london, say the risk of re infection with only crime is more than 5 times greater than the delta varian. but a 3rd dose of the vaccine could provide about 85 percent protection against severe

illness. or a challenge has more on that study. studies has been done by imperial courage, they've, they've stress that they don't really have moments particularly good data to go on . so these are figures that could change, and particularly when it comes to the severity of the micron varying. that's one of the big question we have to have answered and we are quite soon when people get says, all the going to end up in hospitals, how many of them going to going to end up in hospital? the worrying these that's coming out of this study from imperial college is that there's nothing that they have seen at the moment to suggest that omicron is any less severe than the delta variance. although they are caviar caviar. so that was saying that, you know, they, they need to see more insights. the re infection rates is 5 times higher as he said than, than, than delta. and that's also worrying. but the good news is that the boosters do

provide 85 percent protection against getting it severely that slightly less than the protection against the delta variance, which was it about said 95 percent, but it's still something now elsewhere in the region island announced that bars and restaurants mis closer a pm from sunday until january 30th of capacity half the indoor and outdoor event. france has also announced that major public parties in fireworks will be banned on new year's eve as infections rise bears, while a prime minister. jean caustic says all citizens, even if a vaccinated should self test before attending any social events. he like in the spread of the on the con, variant to in europe to lightning, adding that it would be the dominant strain in franz from january. france has been reporting an average of 50000 you infections every day. and then in denmark, they'll also be new restrictions that had to cut the rapid spread of the omi called varying, which now accounts for
