that's more than 23% of the adult u.s. population. >> and now more hope is on the way with all that progress. the cdc saying fully vaccinated people can gather without masks. eva pilgrim joins us with more. she's at hackensack university medical center which has seen more covid cases than any other hospital there in new jersey. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it was exactly a year ago the governor here in new jersey declared a state of emergency. this hospital, as you said, treated more covid patients than any other hospital in the state. one of those patients is expected to come back today to say thank you to the doctors and nurses who saved his life. this morning, a glimmer of hope for those who have received the covid-19 vaccine. the cdc issuing new guidelines saying fully vaccinated people can gather in small groups, indoors, without wearing masks.

>> sounds optimistic and like we're heading in the right direction. >> if you and a friend or you and a family member are vaccinated you can have dinner together. you can visit your grandparents if you have been vaccinated and they have too. >> reporter: the new guidelines allowing for families to finally see each other after a year apart. the cdc even saying vaccinated grandparents can hug family members that aren't vaccinated as long as they're not high risk for covid. >> we'll be able to see our new grand baby and actually hold her for the first time. >> reporter: but when it comes to travel, the cdc saying not so fast. >> in terms of travel, h every time there is a surge in travel we have a surge in cases in this country. >> reporter: as concerns grow over spring breakers in places like florida. parked clubs in ft. lauderdale, not a mask in sight. wyoming becoming the sixth state

to announce they're lifting their mask mandate. 11 other states have no statewide mask rules and two more are planning to lift them next month and new concern as texas prepares to lift its mask mandate and fully re-open this week. a new report finding the more contagious uk variant is widespread in houston's waste water. the city's chief medical officer saying it's actively spreading in our city. today the governor in new jersey is expecting to sign a bill marking the day as covid-19 heros day. george? >> eva, thanks very much. let's bring in dr. ashish jha, the dean of brown university medical school. dr. jha, thanks for joining us. this guidance for grandparents, a lot of families have not been target over the last year. now it is possible if there are vaccinations in place. >> yeah, good morning, george. thanks for having me on. it is. it is wonderful news. my parents were vaccinated, have not seen my kids in a year. it is really good news and i think the cdc got this one right. vaccinated grandparents can

visit as long as the kids are low risk and the parents are low risk. they can get together in person without masks and social distancing. >> any cautions when they get together? >> you know, as long as you're keeping it pretty small i think it's fine. i wouldn't get a large group together, multiple families. that's when it stars getting risky but other than that as long as people are being careful and have been, i think you can get together pretty normally. >> what about vaccinated people, what can they do with people who have recovered from covid? >> a good question. we are still learning. i think if people -- we think immunity lasts for at least 9 to 12 months after recovery. so you can -- i think it's reasonable to say you can treat people who recovered similar to vaccinated, but we know less about that. >> and how about the travel guidelines? the cdc chose not to change the travel guidelines, at least not yet. >> yeah, george, i think that's right. the reason is there are a lot of high-rispeop w have not been vacnad and the more

we travel the more we see it spread. so my take is probably four to six weeks from now the majority of high-risk people should have been vaccinated. at that time a lot of this stuff becomes a lot safer. >> same thing for bars, restaurants, basically re-opening, old on for another month or so? >> yeah, look, there are a lot of folks who are older, people with chronic diseases. let them get vaccinated and i think it will happen in the next month or so. then we can begin to relax these restrictions and get our lives back. >> dr. jha, thank you for your time this morning. michael? we turn now to the murder trial of derek chauvin, the former minneapolis police officer charged with the killing of george floyd. jury selection was delayed as attorneys battled over charges in the case and are set to resume as we hear from floyd's sister. alex perez is outside the courthouse in minneapolis as the

city braces for more demonstrations. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, this is day two of proceedings but things have essentially been in a holding pattern. the judge is hoping they can get started with jury selection later today. this morning, all eyes on minneapolis and the trial of derek chauvin, the former cop accused of killing george floyd. [ crowd chanting ] outside demonstrators turning out to support the floyd family monday. >> long journey. blood, sweat and tears, but we will get justice. >> reporter: floyd's sister bridgett headed inside. because of the pandemic only one family member allowed in the courtroom. before jury selection could even start -- >> we sent all the jurors home. >> reporter: a delay. the parties sparring over the judge considering reinstating a third degree murder charge. >> they'll be making a decision about something that we don't know what the exact charges will

be yet. fighting to have this third degree murder charge readded. why is that? >> you do want as many options as possible, as many theories of your case that the jury can be looking at and accepting as a reason to convict the defendant. >> reporter: chauvin who was seen kneeling on floyd for more than nine minutes, in the courtroom taking notes. he's pleaded not guilty to second degree murder and second degree manslaughter. with the jury selection process possibly beginning today bridgett floyd says the family remains focussed on one thing. >> justice. justice. justice. that's what's important and nobody would ever forget his name, nobody. >> reporter: now, because of the pandemic, jurors will be interviewed one at a time. once the process begins the judge hopes to interview as many as 14 potential jurors a day

until the jury is filled. robin? >> we have much more on that. alex, thank you. for more we're joined by abc's chief legal analyst dan abrams. always good to see you. as alex asked in his piece, why are prosecutors pushing so hard for these third degree murder charges? >> because they want to make sure they get a murder conviction and second degree murder is harder to prove than third degree murder. the reason is because for second degree murder, even for this what's called unintentional murder you still need to show that there was the intent to commit an assault. meaning beyond the scope of his police work. you're also going to have to show the cause of death. remember, the medical examiner listed three reason, the incident itself, drug use and underlying medical conditions. so what prosecutors are concerned about is that maybe some of the jurors, all of the jurors, whatever the case might not be willing to go for second degree murder and prosecutors don't want a sentence as low as four to five years if there was a manslaughter conviction.

they want to fight for murder and it's interesting because they're the ones going to the higher court saying, wait, let's hold off here until we've got this all resolved. it's not just they're saying we need to get third degree reinstated. they're saying we want to sort it out so the defense hasn't an argument later to appeal and say, wait, they messed up at the beginning of the case. >> you alluded to this a little bit. go further. what will the defense be? >> yeah, i think you're going to see two things. i think number one you will see them argue cause of death. you'll hear them say that the cause of death very well may have been drug use and underlying medical conditions rather than the incident itself. i think you're also going to hear them argue on this question of intentional assault that he was -- even if you think he went too far still acting within the scope of his police work and those are the two key arguments

and i think that the case will come down to that. >> as you know high stakes, high profile case. how difficult is it going to be to seat a jury? >> it's going to be a long process. it's going to be a harder process, a much harder process than it would be typically. they're doing a number of phases. first they're doing a questionnaire to eliminate any people that couldn't make it on to the jury. then they're doing individual questioning, not the way you typically do it with a box full of jurors and ask one a question here and there. the concern is one could taint another. so they're questioning jurors js individually which is why this is also going to take so long. then each side gets an opportunity to challenge jurors, et cetera. so the process is definitely going to take a few weeks. you don't need people who don't know anything about the case. you need people who are ready, willing and able to objectively look at the evidence and come to

a verdict. >> thank you, dan. we'll be coming to you in the weeks ahead. george? let's go to washington and president biden is going with the $2 trillion relief package and checks should roll out later this month after he signs the legislation. mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. one last hurdle here before the massive $1.9 trillion stimulus bill reaches the president's desk later this week. the house is now likely to vote tomorrow morning and while progressive democrats have voiced concerns about the changes made though this bill like stripping that $15 million minimum wage hike it is expected to pass. the bill includes those $1,400 checks to most making up to $75,000 a year, and those making $80,000 a year will get a payment. it also extends unemployment benefits to $300 a week and includes millions of dollars for vaccines, school re-opening and state and local governments.

>> president biden is set to give his first primetime address to the nation after that. >> reporter: yes, george. it's a big moment for him. first primetime address marking the one-year anniversary of the coronavirus shutdown that has changed virtually every aspect of americans' lives. we are told he's going to address the suffering and honor the lives lost and urging americans to do their part to fight the virus so we can finally get back to some sense of normal. >> as dr. jha says, we are getting close. mary bruce, thanks very much. michael? now to that investigation into a suspected hazing death in ohio. a 20-year-old college student dying after a frat party where apparently large amounts of alcohol were involved. we're now hearing what happened on a 911 call and must warn you it is upsetting. will reeve has the story. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. you can hear people saying the hail mary in the background of that call and the young man's family are looking for answers about what happened while calls

for the fraternity's expulsion continue to grow. this morning a 20-year-old college student has died after an alleged hazing incident at an off-campus fraternity party. a 911 dispatcher guiding a caller through cpr. >> did you give him two rescue breaths? yes. >> reporter: some heard praying in the background. >> okay, are you starting the compressions again? >> yep. >> okay, one, two, three. >> reporter: stone foltz, a sophomore at bowling green state university in ohio was injured at the event last week in an incident reportedly involving alcohol. he was rushed to a nearby hospital and then air lifted to another as friends went to say good-bye. >> my stomach twisted just to see someone that you love so much and fun. it's the hardest thing you'll go through. >> reporter: an attorney for the family calling it a tragedy releasing a statement saying in part, investigations involving hazing are complex and take

time, but the foltz family will eventually know the truth. bowling green in a statement of its own saying the school shares in his family and friends' sorrow and made counseling available. the phi kappa alpha fraternity says it will look for permanent suspension of the chapter as well as expulsion of all chapter members. this coming as funeral services were held for another college student, adam oaks, a freshman who died at virginia commonwealth university late last month. his family sharing their pain with "gma" last month. >> we want people to see that what happened can happen to anybody if we don't fix the system. >> reporter: stone foltz's family says they are donating their son's organs so others may have a chance at life. there is a protest planned for today at bowling green where demonstrators are demanding the expulsion of that fraternity,

accountability from administrators and are looking for reporting incidents of harassment or hazing. michael? >> our hearts go out to the family. thank you so much. we turn to that four-yea ds cooy -- p >> the name or the $160 million? >> the $160 million. i know his name. he suffered that bad injury last year and his season was cut short, but now he's getting paid. show me the money. highest signing bonus in nfl history, $66 million. a record 75 million due in year one. celebrated with his brother tad. did you see this tweet, his brother? when your little brother gets the call, let's go, time to win the dallas cowboys a super bowl. you thinking of coming out of retirement? >> i am so happy when these

but first we're going to have the top headlines we're following right now including the latest on the fight against the pandemic. the cdc releasing new guidelines for how fully vaccinated people can safely reunite with friends and family but the agency is still suggesting to avoid travel. also right now, jury selection in the george floyd murder trial set to resume this morning. the first day delayed as attorneys battled over charges and prosecutors want to add a third degree murder charge. and take a look at this torrential flash flooding. this was in hawaii damaging a number of homes. the maui fire department received numerous calls for help by people trapped. ginger will have much more on the ongoing flash flood threat this morning. we'll move to the royal bombshell. the royal family still silent more than 24 hours after that meghan and harry interview splashed headlines across great britain like this in "the guardian," palace in crisis following devastating racist claim. james longman is at buckingham palace with the latest.

good morning, james. >> reporter: good morning, george. the full interview aired here last night and more than 12 million people tuned in. there's been a huge outcry about those comments allegedly made about the color of archie's skin. people asking just who in the royal family could have made them. the palace, though, does have its supporters. people saying these claims are perhaps unsubstantiated. the crown in crisis this morning, buckingham palace still silent two days after that bombshell interview with meghan and harry accusing the palace of racism inside its walls. >> he won't be given security. he's not going to be a given a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he's born. >> what? >> reporter: sources close to prince charles saying that the future king feels let down about the allegations in the interview adding the prince is proud of the diversity of this country and believes the diversity of

modern britain is its greatest strength. when asked directly about the interview, prince charles remained silent. >> can i ask what you thought of the interview? >> reporter: overnight new sound from the duchess telling oprah people are entitled to privacy. >> i think everyone has a basic right to privacy, basic, right? and we're not talking about anything that anybody else wouldn't expect. >> reporter: the palace planning its response, in meetings all day yesterday. >> the monarchy has for so long developed this is a as little as possible public approach and never complain, never explain. but i don't see that working here and i think there is a need to provide some kind of clarity here. >> reporter: kate who meghan criticized directly spotted driving through london on monday while neither meghan nor harry named names harry told her the

comments about the baby's skin were not made by either of his grandparents. >> can you tell us what the question was? >> no, i'm not comfortable with sharing that. but that was right at the beginning, right? >> like what will the baby look like? >> yeah, what will the kids look like. >> reporter: in new clips, harry says last year when he briefly returned to the uk that his grandmother, the queen, wanted to see him. >> my grandmother said the moment you land come out -- come up to sandringham. we'd love to have a chat. the moment we land i got a message from my private secretary fiona at the time cutting and pasting a message from her, pass on to the duke and duchess of sussex that they cannot come to norfolk. the queen is busy, she's busy all week. >> doesn't the queen get to do what the queen wants to do? >> no. when you're head of the firm, there is people around you that

give you advice. >> okay. >> what has also made me very sad, is some of the advice has been really bad. >> reporter: harry describing the environment inside as toxic you. >> you mentioned earlier, harry, you were hurt that there's been no acknowledgment that this was different because of race. do you think there ever will be and will that make a difference to you? >> yeah, it would make a huge difference. it's talked about across the world, yet the very people that don't want to see it or can't see it choose not to see it. >> does your father think it's a toxic environment, relationship with -- >> he's had to make peace with it. >> reporter: meghan says the british tabloids moved in on her father, thomas markle and says he eventually started working for them. >> did it feel like betrayal when you found your father was working with the tabloids?

>> i said we won't be able to protect our kids one day and i just need you to tell me and if you tell me the truth, we can help and he wasn't able to do that. >> reporter: we also, of course, heard that meghan and harry are expecting a little girl. this new photograph was released to the young family. archie being cradled on meghan's baby bump taken by friend and father with the caption what wonderful news to celebrate international women's day. that was yesterday. welcome to the girl dad club. michael? >> james, thank you so much. let's bring in chris ship, royal editor of itv news in london.rt op-ed that you wrote. you said harry and meghan loaded up a plane and dropped bomb after heavy bomb on buckingham palace. >> well, good morning, michael. when it in fish finished airing here it was about 3:00 in the morning.

i was paralyzed. there was so much there. first it was about kate. i thought that was big. then it was the baby's skin color. whoa, i thought. then there were claims about racism and harry's relationship with his father. meghan saying she was on the george verge of committing you know, i literally didn't know what to do and, you know, it's not -- >> you spoke about some claims that we know that last week the palace announced they'll investigate the claims of bullying within the palace walls. do you think they'll investigate these claims by harry and meghan? >> look, i think there's a big job of work for the palace's human resources department as you rightly say, last week we heard there was an actual complaint filed against meghan by staff who alleged bullying tactics and now we've got meghan saying she went to the palace human resources department and said, i am on the verge of a breakdown. i need some help and they said to her, actually we can't help you because you're not a paid employee.

i mean how can it be that the system can't help someone who is the wife of a senior royal but it could help someone if it was a paid employee at the palace? none of it makes sense and that's why the palace has to sort of look at its inner workings and decide what went wrong. >> that was pretty shocking. we've seen the headlines in the uk papers. what's the reaction of the british people been to this? >> well, we're a bit behind you. obviously the news yesterday here, the news cycle was dominated by this in every single television channel, radio station, et cetera. but the program didn't actually air here in the uk on itv last night. we just found out in the last hour or so that 12 million people here watched it at its peak. for the country the size of ours of about 60, 65 million that's a lot of people watching one tv program. so i think actually the palace is probably also going to gauge not just what the international reaction is going to be and i don't think necessarily that's

favorable particularly in the u.s., you'll know better than i. they also want to know what's the reaction here in the uk to what meghan had to say to oprah. >> yeah, a lot of us are waiting for that reaction. chris ship, thank you so much for your time. appreciate you. and we'll have more on the meghan and harry -- on meghan and harry coming up in our next hour including how to overcome the stigma of mental health and ask for help. >> don't be afraid to ask for help. you're right about that, michael. coming up next our worst flu fears thankfully not coming true. why cases dropped this year even as, you know, in the middle of covid and what we can learn going forward. come on back. of covid and what we can learn going forward. come on back. ♪ at edward jones, our 19,000 financial advisors listen and work with you to create personalized investment strategies to help you get back to drafting dreams

dark red areas showing areas of high flu activity. here's what the flu looks like now. the flu has nearly disappeared. last cold season it killed 195 children in this country. this cold season, just one. >> it's hard to remember now but the 2019/2020 winter flu season was a very bad one. and, in fact, i just looked at the numbers from our hospital and for january and february of 2020 we had i think over 2,700 positive flu tests by this point in the year and this year we have had zero, none. >> reporter: the death and fear from covid has changed everything. scientists believe that the mask wearing, hand washing, social distancing and, yes, the flu vaccine have helped kill the disease. >> no one really expected that our mitigation measures were going to erase the flu this year and it shows that by taking some precautions, you could really

potentially protect a lot of people from the flu. >> reporter: people are also more interested and getting the flu vaccine. so far this cold season 193 million americans have gotten the flu vaccine, not the covid vaccine, the flu vaccine. that's a record, george. the highest ever in a cold season, george. >> okay, steve, thanks very much. let's bring in dr. jen ashton for more. i remember so many days we warned about this twindemic coming. it didn't happen. why? >> finally good news in the world of public health. if you look at this and pick it apart into two components, there's the way the virus behaves and now again talking about the influenza virus and there's the way humans behave and it's probably a combination of the two. but in medicine and public health we always want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best and certainly this was the best news we could have asked for. >> looking ahead, do we have to worry now about flu coming back with a vengeance next year

because our immunity is down because so few people had it this year? >> i don't think it's so much that, george, but every year it's unpredictable and in speaking to infectious disease specialist, the thinking is probably that the flu will continue to be a threat, how much we don't know and covid down the road hopefully and likely will become endemic and not pandemic meaning we'll just learn to live with it. >> good to have encouraging news. jen ashton, thanks very much. robin? >> it does feel good. coming up, our "play of the day." you do not want to miss it. come on back.

is to see you with your co-star again from "13 going on 30," mark ruffalo. in a adam project on netflix. what's it like being reunited? >> it was -- it was wonderful. there was just this -- we were playing a married couple and we just had this instant comfort and obviously there's just such a connection and a warmth. it was actually a really beautiful experience to revisit that relationship. >> you know, you posted a selfie with your other co-star judy greer. is there any talk of a sequel and what would your character be doing at this point? >> what would she be doing? i think -- i mean i think -- i hope she would still be whimsical and have a little bit of fun. she would have to still have some 13-year-old in her. but, oh, gosh, i have to go back and watch this movie. it's so fun. [ laughter ] and we saw each other right before i saw mark so i was able

to kind of pass messages back and forth. it was really fun. do you think -- is "poise" still going? is it all online? what's happening? >> let's talk about "yes day." not just a movie. it's actually one of your family traditions. so the kids make all the rules for one day. you have to say yes to anything. >> well, you set up some ground rules obviously, george. [ laughter ] you know, there are a couple of rules. you can't like get anything in the future. you can't pierce your ears, get a dog, things like that so, of course, that would be the go to. and then i always have my own personal rule that you can't eat so much junk that you feel sick because that ruins the day, which is kind of a downer because it's a lot about eating, and then, but, yeah, it's just a fun -- it's not about money. it's not about spending money. it's about spending the day together and the thing that my kids love the most is that starting early in the morning,

i don't work out. i don't do anything else. i only focus on them and anything they ask for i say top priority, yes, i'll do it right away and they just think it's funny. >> it sounds fantastic. you play a mom who had her first yes day and got a makeover from her daughter. let's take a look. >> nice job. >> thank you. > what's that? >> we made a list of our five big asks. for the day to be a success, we have to make it through all five to make it a success. >> i love a list. >> number one -- >> is that korean? >> breakfast surprise. >> we got to change first, right? >> no. >> katie. >> right? >> nope on a rope. >> oh, boy, so much fun. but you do some wild things in this movie. you go through a car wh i heard the amusement park is where you really had to push yourself. >> oh, it really is.

hi, michael. yes, of course, i'm a producer of this movie. you would think that i will put things in there that i love but what did i -- singing in front of people which i'm terrified of doing but nothing scares me more than riding huge roller coasters. we went to magic mountain and i can't even watch. i'm sweating. i lost my cool completely. i did not stay in character. i cried. but and we got off the roller coaster and the director miguel whom i adore said to me i'm so sorry, you do need to do this again and i said -- i have to take a walk. i'll be back. >> we need it from a different angle. can you do it one more time with feeling this time. there's so much feeling to this movie, jennifer. you said after being at home a lot of us for almost a year now you referred to it as a breath of fresh air. what did you mean by that?

>> this movie is all about yes. it is all about just saying yes to your family, saying yes to time together. yes to yourselves as moms that we lose ourselves in how, you know, you can kind of feel rigid because you're just trying to keep everyone on track and get the right lunch and the right lunch box and people to soccer, ballet or on zoom for school, whatever it is, and so you just find yourself say nope, nope, nope without even thinking about it, and letting go of all that for a day is liberating and it's really fun just speaking from experience and all of this, of course, comes from amy krouse rosenthal's beautiful children's book, "yes day," so it's just a beautiful family tradition. but, of course, because i have a teenager, this movie also really addresses the yeses that come with letting your kids grow up. >> which is a tough thing to do. we want to throw back to the young jennifer right now.

i think we have a photo. there she is. >> oh. >> so what she have asked for on yes day? >> oh, my gosh. well, she would have worn overalls. and also look at her, what a peanut that kid is. going to see a broadway musical, which, of course, is too big for yes day but we're pretending, right? being with -- maybe walking around the mall and having junk food and definitely ice cream. >> definitely ice cream. yes to that. >> that's on my list. >> and yes to those dimples even back then. precious photo. thank you, thank you, thank you and thanks netflix. thank them for us as wi'm not k. >> anniversary of the big year of no.

remember thinking, what if i had been in classes with him? what if we liked each other and then the spark that really started the story was, what if it wasn't that he liked me but that he needed my help? and so it was like, why would an undercover investigation need the help of this ordinary girl? >> indigenous nancy drew. that's how you describe this book, isn't it? >> yes, yes, it is. >> and tell us a little about your childhood. >> well, growing up i loved mysteries and thrillers and when i was 18 i read a story that featured a native main character, a native american main character. representation in literature for children and teens is so important and so when my kids were preteen, my daughter in particular, i was like, i'm

going to write the indigenous nancy drew thriller that i wished i could have read as a teen. >> you have such a beautiful family. we're looking at the picture right now. i know how incredibly proud they are of you. so it is set to head to the smreen already, the obamas' production company higher ground is going to make it into an adapted tv series, so who is your dream cast for the tv series? >> oh, my gosh. so there's an actor named forrest goodluck and i'm actually friends with his mother and i think that he is phenomenal. he was in "the revenant" with leonardo dicaprio. i love him and there's an actress named devery jacobs and i think she's the perfect lily. i can see that attitude but as far as daunis goes, she's out
