significantly, down 15%, but hospitalizations are increasing, up 12% in the last two weeks. >> on the bright side, america is making progress on vaccinations. we just set a new single-day record. the white house says more than 4.5 million shots were administered in just 24 hours. 45% of adults in this country have now received at least one dose. 27% have been fully vaccinated. >> and 39 states have now expanded vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older. abc's trevor ault is outside the hospital here in new york. trevor, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. it is great news with that record number of vaccine doses administered yesterday. we have a steep dropoff with the supply of the johnson & johnson vaccine coming up, and right now it is so important we maintain our momentum because a frightening and increasing number of people are getting sick. this morning, health officials fear a fourth coronavirus wave is taking hold. on top of rising cases over the

past two weeks, hospitalizations climbing 12% with states like michigan hit even harder. >> the number of cases, the number of patients within our hospitals has doubled over the last two weeks. >> reporter: many hospitals there filling up, now reverting to midpandemic restrictions. state officials asking people to stop gathering indoors. the virus putting this jackson teacher in a coma a year ago. he's relieved to be vaccinated, but remembers the terror. >> i remember i didn't want to go to sleep because i was afraid i wouldn't wake up if i did. >> reporter: now further hindering the fight, the sharp decline in the supply of the johnson & johnson vaccine, expected to drop 85% this week, forcing vaccine sites from california to virginia to tap the brakes. >> we don't have a clear answer from the federal government about why the fluctuation, why the dropoff. >> reporter: while it's not an insurmountable hit, it gives the variants more time to further

spread. cases of the uk and brazil variant already climbing rapidly across the country. >> while we may not have as great a surge as we saw in the fall, we have concerns about unnecessary hospitalizations and deaths as we're heading towards the light at the end of the tunnel. >> reporter: and this week, moderna executives said they believe they'll have vaccine booster shots available to help protect you against those virus variants by the end of this year. though of course, before we get to the boosters, there's still a couple of hundred million people who need to become fully vaccinated. eva? >> a lot of people still left to get the vaccine. trevor ault, thanks so much for joining us. joining us now is the director of the maine center of disease control, dr. nirav shah. thanks so much for being with us. maine just saw the most vaccinations gives in one day last week, but now you're going to see 88% fewer j&j vaccines this week. how does that impact your vaccination push? >> well, good morning, eva. thank you so much for having me on today. the decrease in j&j vaccine that

we're going to be experiencing next week here in maine and across the country is disheartening. of course, we all would have wanted the same level of robust vaccine supply we saw coming in this week. this decrease, let's hope it's one that's temporary. a midcourse fluctuation that will hopefully rectify itself. we're not letting it slow us down here in maine. in fact, starting tomorrow, we are launching the use of a mobile unit that will travel across rural parts of the state using the limited supply of j&j vaccine that we have to make sure we're continuing our two goals, not just to vaccine with velocity, but also with equity. that mobile unit will reach hard to reach parts of the state to make sure the vaccine is that much closer to the arms who need them. >> you've praised the advantages of the j&j shot for maine. it does not require ultra cold storage and it's only one dose. it makes it ideal for those drive-through sites, the homebound people and in rural areas like you were just talking about.

my question is who's most likely to feel the effects of the distribution change this week and for the next several weeks? >> you know, you raise a good question which is how long will this decrease in the supply last for? we're working with federal officials to get a better sense, but even the decrease that we are seeing this week was one that was planned. our federal partners let us know not too long ago that there would be a decrease, and we were able to plan for it. i guess, eva, the way i think about this is that the vaccination of the entire country is not a one-week effort. and so even though this upcoming week we'll be seeing less vaccine, we hope that that will recover. all that being said, there will be effects. one of the programs that we have launched, and that i was very proud of were our efforts to, say, vaccinate folks who were homebound. that may have to pause a bit, but, as i mentioned a moment ago, the mobile unit across the state of maine will mean that vulnerable, hard to reach maine people will still have access to the j&j vaccine.

we're going to be utilizing almost all of our j&j allocation in that mobile unit so folks both in urban settings, as well as in rural settings, can get access to the vaccine. >> looking at the numbers that we're seeing right now, specifically in michigan, i'm curious if that at all worries you, and if you are looking at anything else -- any other numbers happening in the country that are of concern right now? >> eva, it's a concern. we too have been tracking what's unfolding in michigan. we haven't seen that degree of an increase of cases in maine, but it's certainly something we're concerned about. i think this is evidence of just how opportunistic and tenacious the virus is, and further evidence that although there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we are not out of tunnel yet. we've got to keep pushing ahead with vaccinations until we are fully done. >> dr. shah, thank you so much. that reminder, we are not pthro. dan?

let's get the latest on a stand off at a honolulu hotel this morning. the stand off is over and zohreen shah joins us with the latest details. >> reporter: hawaii police say the shooting suspect is barricaded in the hotel. a person inside the hotel said a call came in 6:00 local time saturday night. police say when security approached the man fired through the door. no injuries have been reported so far. about 100 guests and staff are sheltering in place in the resort's grand ballroom. officials are slowly releasing them. police say they're in contact with the suspect. a negotiator is on scene. the suspect is believed to be in the military. they say he's alone in the hotel. authorities right now hoping the man will surrender. whit?

we turn to an army officer's lawsuit after police in virginia pulled him over in a traffic stop, then pepper sprayed and handcuffed him, even though the suit says he did nothing wrong. the incident captured on multiple cameras. abc's elizabeth schulze has more from washington. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. u.s. army second lieutenant caron nazario says in this new lawsuit two virginia officers violated his rights when they held him at gun point and threatened him after they pulled him over for what they thought was a missing license plate. >> what's going on? >> reporter: this morning, outrage over this newly released body camera. >> open the door slowly and get out! >> what's going on? >> reporter: two virginia police officers threatening, drawing their guns and pepper spraying a uniformed u.s. army second lieutenant during a traffic stop. >> what's going on? >> get out of the car now. >> what's going on? >> what's going on? you're fixing to ride the lightning, son. >> reporter: the windsor virginia officers saying they stopped army second

lieutenant caron missing license plate, even though he had a temporary plate taped to the back of his new suv. his hands raised, caron nazario who is black and latino recorded the incident on his cell phone, calmly telling the officers he's afraid to get out of his car. >> i'm honestly afraid to get out. >> yeah, you should be. get out. get out of the car. >> get your hands off me, please. get your hands off me. get your hands off me. get your hands off me. get your hands off me. i didn't do anything. don't do that. >> get out of car. get out of the car now. >> i'm trying to talk to you. i'm trying to talk to you. relax. can you please relax? can you please relax? >> get out of car right now. >> this is not how you treat -- i'm actively serving this country. and this is how you're going to treat me? i didn't do anything. whoa. hold on. what's going -- hold on. watch it. watch it. >> reporter: he was eventually released with no charges. now nazario is suing the officers for violating his constitutional rights. >> why am i being treated like

this? why? >> you're not cooperating. get on the ground. >> you think officers should know better. the body cameras may be new, the violence isn't. >> reporter: one officer said in the report after the traffic stop nazario willfully disregarded their orders to pull over. the lawsuit says he waited less than two minutes to stop, wanting to get to this nearby well-lit gas station. some calling this just the latest example of excessive use of force by the police toward people of color. >> what should have occurred is the individual police officer who initiated the stop should have given clear, concise directions, answering questions if necessary. the level of force that was used for that type of infraction which by the way is not even a crime, it's a violation of law, was excessive. >> reporter: the windsor police department did not respond to requests for comments, but a town manager reportedly told a local paper that both officers still work for the department. eva? >> elizabeth schulze for us

there. thank you. well, the murder trial of former police officer derek chauvin accused of killing george floyd enters week three of testimony tomorrow. abc's reena roy is in minneapolis with a look ahead at court. good morning to you, reena. >> reporter: eva, good morning. jurors are gearing up for yet another long week of testimony, with the defense expected to take over sometime this week. they will likely call on law enforcement and medical experts like we've seen with prosecutors, but defense attorneys will be trying to prove their theory that drug use and heart issues led to george floyd's death. friday we heard from the medical examiner who performed floyd's autopsy and ruled his death a homicide. but he did provide an opening for the defense by saying those heart and drug problems were likely contributing factors. earlier in the week, 11 current and former law enforcement officials testified against chauvin, including the police chief. floyd's family is also expected to take the stand this week to

tell the jury about who he was as a person. dan? >> reena, thank you. we know from the white house and sources there that the president has been following this trial, but thus far, he has not proposed any new police reform measures. so let's bring in abc's maryalice parks. maryalice, good morning to you. police reform was a campaign promise for joe biden. should we expect any actual action here? >> reporter: yeah, good morning, dan. the president often talks about meeting george floyd's daughter, what an impact that made on him. but, like you said, during the campaign he pitched a police oversight board and said he would get it done in the first 100 days in office. we haven't seen that from the president or any big push on police reform from this white house. we've seen states move on the issue just this week. democrats in the state of maryland overriding a veto to put in place a police reform bill. but the big question, will anything come out of washington? house democrats on capitol hill did pass a bill named after george floyd that would ban some

of the most controversial policing practices. the president says that he supports that bill, but, dan, it just remains to be seen if anything can be negotiated out of senate. >> let me ask you about another big political story on this sunday morning. congress is back in session tomorrow. agenda item number one, the democrats' infrastructure bill. is there any hope that this bill, the infrastructure bill, could get some bipartisan support unlike the covid relief bill? >> reporter: yeah, dan, everyone's back into town, so these meetings really get going in earnest. they are serious now. the president tomorrow planning to invite democratic and republican leaders here to the white house to sit around a table and try to hash out some of these details. the president wants republicans on board. you know, they were hoping to get a republican vote on this infrastructure package, and there are a lot of republicans who say they are willing to work on infrastructure, who say they're having meetings with some of president biden's own cabinet officials. you know, it's no coincidence that the president has members

of his cabinet who are former mayors and former governors out there trying to sell this package, talking about their direct experience, their understanding of what's needed in the states. but so far, republicans are just firmly opposed to the president's ideas for paying for this all. the president said he wants to raise the corporate tax rate closer to where it was before president trump's tax cuts. republicans, you know, they helped put those tax cuts for corporations in place. they don't want to see them reversed. >> maryalice, thank you so much. tune in to "this week" later this morning. george stephanopoulos will be talking about many of these issues. he'll be interviewing energy secretary jennifer granholm and republican senator roger wicker of miss miss on the negotiations of president biden's infrastructure package. plus, we'll have legal analysis on derek chauvin's murder trial as it heads into the third week of testimony. whit, over to you. time for the weather. rob marciano tracking a few things out there. severe tornadoes. there was flooding. where are things heading next? >> the focus again, whit, is on

the southeast when yesterday we reported on a tornado that came through louisiana where unfortunately there were multiple injuries and one fatality. f-3 tornado, doing severe damage there, and on the heels of that, or right after that, we had this. not just your ordinary water spout, that is a full-on tornado coming on shore on panama city beach. this came on shore, and did a lot of damage to hotels and convenience stores, ripping the roof off in one particular spot. this, probably the same cluster of storms. 80-plus-mile-per-hour winds in pensacola, florida. that cluster of storms is now sinking to the south, and we'll get another round in central florida. orlando and disney world will be a rough spot around the lunch hour, and driving across miami before we clear things out really tonight and tomorrow. before that happens damaging winds and large hail. that's a check of what's happening in-- good sunday, morning.

starting out with some sunshine from our east bay hills. there is fog in the distance. fog is pulling back to the coast and it will remain breezy there. mild to warm around the bay. cooler inland throughout the week ahead and we continue with the drive pattern. temperatures today in the city low 60s. high clouds with 75 in concord. near 80 fairfield. 76 santa rosa. the accuweather and the forecast will call a little rain delay yesterday at the masters. should be drier today. that rain coming to the northeast, and we'll talk more about that in a bit. eva? >> caused a major panic attack in my house from my husband who wanted to see the masters. >> he's okay today. >> that's good to hear. thanks, rob. let's move on to the uk and the latest on the royal family's plans for the funeral of prince philip. the pandemic lockdown is forcing the royals to scale back, and abc's maggie rulli is right there at buckingham palace this

morning. maggie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, dan, good morning. here in london, we're officially in countrywide mourning for a week. that flag behind me will stay at half-mast until the day after prince philip's funeral, which the palace has announced will be next saturday at st. george's chapel in windsor's castle. this morning we heard from members of the royal family speaking about prince philip for the first time since he passed away, calling him the nation's grandfather, saying they're here to support the queen. >> thinking about others before herself as always. >> she's amazing. again, it's just that wave of affection for him and just the lovely stories, they mean so much. you know the tri tri tri taun fantastic. we really appreciate it. >> reporter: we'll hear more of those stories later in the week.

we know because of strict coronavirus restrictions, it'll be a much smaller, quieter event. a maximum of just 30 people are allowed, so expect it to be only close family and friends, which we now know will include prince harry. he has confirmed he'll be here in the uk to say a final good-bye to his grandfather, but he won't be here with his wife meghan. she's pregnant with their second child and says she's been advised by doctors not to fly. but guys, whatever the guest list, it is going to be a day for the entire country to mourn and to celebrate philip's life. the prince's coffin will be carried to the chapel by a modified land rover that the prince himself designed. prince charles will lead the family procession, and be flanked by members of the military saluting one of their own. the palace also announced the queen decided her family will mourn her beloved husband for a full two weeks. >> guys? >> maggie, thank you to your reporting.

love most, not just books of course, but movies, tv shows, video games. >> one at a time. >> they start spouting just absolute joy at the creative process, and they end up writing books in our program. >> reporter: and thanks to zoom, they're getting that personal connection many have been craving in an era defined by social distancing. >> it's so nice to be able to, like, talk to my friends and collaborate. we can collaborate outside of the class. >> reporter: and at the end of it all -- >> it's my book. >> reporter: -- kids are walking away from the program with their own published books and just enough spark to light their passion for a lifetime. >> imagine if this is going to be, like, a profession or just something fun, but i definitely want to continue writing. >> reporter: written out loud has published over 500 storytellers across the country, and you can see how excited the kids were when they were seeing their work come to life, guys. >> absolutely. thank you for that story, janai. still ahead here, an urgent
