good morning, america. race to vaccinate. the push this mother's day weekend to get more americans protected against covid-19 as we hit a new milestone, and pfizer seeks full fda approval for its shot, but the question this morning, why is the vaccination rate dropping sharply with spread still a concern? plus, advice on gathering safely for mother's day. hailed as heroes. new details about the school staff who put themselves in harm's way to protect students from a >> we just heard, like, like, three loud bangs. >> what students and parents are saying about the shooting and the quick-thinking staffers who may have saved lives. manhunt. the search going on right now

"gma" exclusive with pete buttigieg. we go one-on-one with the nation's transportation secretary on the nation's aging infrastructure. >> if one of these systems fails, what could happen here? >> why he says there's no time to waste in order to prevent catastrophe. and falling debris. the rocket tumbling toward earth at 18,000 miles an hour. could air traffic be at risk? the fingers crossed for a splash into the sea. good morning. we are starting with these images you'll see here showing a fedex charter flight containing critical medical supplies that are on its way to india where it's so desperately needed as that country fights the raging pandemic.

that's as we've reached another milestone here at home. more than 150 million americans have received at least one dose of the covid vaccine. >> we could -- could be on track to hit president biden's goal of having 70% of the population with at least one shot by july 4th, but there could be a major snag here with vaccine rates going down significantly in the last week according to a federal document obtained by abc news, and meanwhile, we are still seeing outbreaks. >> and this as pfizer seeks full fda approval for their shots. moderna likely next in line, and some public school systems in florida already looking to set up vaccination pods for the 12 to 15 age group. abc's trevor ault joins us from >> reporter: good morning, wsit va in hospitalizations, even the fact that for the first time now the majority of people who are hospitalized with covid-19 are younger adults who just became eligible for the shot, but we have not vaccinated nearly enough people yet, and the white

house and health officials know there are millions of americans who still need convincing. this morning, with now 150 million americans receiving at least one shot of the covid-19 vaccine, the white house is pushing to get hesitant americans on board with the aim of administering at least one dose to 70% of the adult population by the fourth of july. >> we're doing everything we can, bringing every resource to bear to reach americans who need more convenience or more information. >> reporter: health officials are hoping pfizer's request for full approval of its vaccine might encourage those who are still weary. this week the country's vaccination rate fell to 2 million shots a day, a 20% drop from the week before. >> it's not as bad as i thought. maybe wait a little bit and see how that goes. >> reporter: robert banks was holding out on the vaccine.

he tested positive, ending up in the hospital. >> i do regret not getting the vaccine earlier because i would not want to go through what i'm going through right now. any step towards ending this virus is a good step. >> reporter: and the spread of the virus is a still a concern. in oregon, a health authority says an outbreak of more than 70 cases has been tied to easter services at a single church, and in florida, where overall cases have decreased and the governor recently suspended any covid-19 restrictions, the state is still the site of highest case of covid variants. after spring break, the total skyrocketed from 750 to nearly 10,000, but overnight, new signs of normalcy. with the atlanta braves welcoming back a full crowd in the ballpark for the first time since the pandemic began. >> it's gone. >> reporter: this weekend, the braves will be offering free covid-19 shots at their

games and if pfizer's full authorization is granted, that would apply to people 16 and up. it is intended to grant emergency authorization to give the shot to people 12 to 15 years old meaning teenagers could potentially become fully vaccinated for the bulk of their summer activities, whit. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. ashton. dr. ashton, good morning to you. good to have you with us on a saturday. as you've heard there, we're potentially on the verge of covid vaccines being authorized for children as young as 12. what could this mean for our kids as we head into the summer camp season especially on the issue of wearing masks? >> well, whit, it's really important. we've heard the cdc director, dr. rochelle walensky, talk about it is hoped/expected that the fda give authorization for the pfizer vaccine in this 12 to 15 year old age group in the

next couple of days, meaning that that age group could get their full dose, two-dose regimen in time to go to summer camp, summer school. gather. that is incredibly important, because as their risk of severe clinical illness is not as high as that seen in adults, we know that this age group can transmit the virus and certainly we want to get that age group, those kids, back to as normal a summer as possible, and the vaccine is a big step in that direction. >> i want to turn to something else here. one of the big questions as these vaccines start rolling out was beyond offering protection from the virus, will they also prevent us from spreading it to others? the cdc is out with new data on this? >> yeah, and there's been published data in "the journal nature" that shows that even after one dose of the two-dose pfizer or moderna regimens, transmission risk among household contacts can be cut in half after the full dosing regimen, two doses, it's even greater than that. so that's really important.

remember the clinical trials looked at the endpoints of severe disease and death, but of course, we want to see efficacy in the fact that these vaccines can also help reduce the risk of asymptomatic transmission. remember, whit, these virusesing can't mutate if they're not spreading. so reducing the spread is a big endpoint as well. >> that will be key to getting us out of this pandemic. also it's mother's day weekend, and as you know we're in this awkward period where some people are vaccinated. some are not, and we're trying to figure out how to interact. what advice do you have for those looking to get together with family and friends? >> well, big picture, whit. first of all, remember the cases are coming down, but they are still high in terms of hospitalizations and deaths. so, if gathering, you want to keep the numbers small. remember, outside is safer than inside. if you are inside, open those windows. increase the ventilation, and if

in doubt, space it out. social distancing still important, and as is mask wearing especially for people who are not fully vaccinated, and happy mother's day to all the moms. >> of course, and happy mother's day to you. early happy mother's day, dr. ashton. thank you so much as always. we appreciate it. >> thanks, whit. >> have a great weekend. dan, over to you. to the economy now and president biden on the defensive after a new jobs report showing america's hiring numbers are falling way below expectations. critics are now asking, given these new numbers, was president biden's nearly $2 trillion american rescue plan worth it? abc white house correspondent maryalice parks right there on the north lawn with much more on this story. good morning to you, maryalice. >> reporter: good morning, dan. these disappointing job numbers really a sign of just how far the economy has to go to recover from the losses from this pandemic. only about 266,000 jobs added in april. that is far less than half of the jobs added in march.

the forecast like you said, just way off. unemployment actually seems to have ticked up. there were jobs added in leisure and hospitality industries hit so hard this last year, but there were losses in temporary help services like careers and messengers, but the news definitely put the white house onthe defensive yesterday. president biden and treasury secretary janet yellen both expected the road to recovery to be bumpy, but republicans blasting the president. some republican governors and the chamber of commerce arguing specifically that the additional $300 a week in federal unemployment benefits, those benefits put in place by democrats through september, they're arguing that those benefits are maybe keeping people from seeking work. so far democrats are really balking at this idea though. they say there just isn't data to back it up, that there are still millions of americans looking for work. they argue if anything, this ns policy proposals, thingsca ave,undi f childare.

argue that millions of americans, especially women, had to leave the work force this last year just overburdened with caregiving responsibilities, eva. >> maryalice for us there at the white house. thanks. now we're learning about a shooting at a middle school in idaho. staff members springing into action, potentially saving lives. abc's will carr spoke to students and parents. >> reporter: this morning, new details on the heroic actions taken by a teacher and a custodian inside rigby middle school after authorities say a sixth grade girl pulled out a gun and started firing. >> we just heard, like, like, three loud bangs. >> reporter: these students are returning to the baseball field just one day after they and 1500 classmates went into lockdown. hiding in closets and under desks. krista gneiting, a math teacher sprang into action. >> she grabbed the gun away from

her, and then there's one who said she tackled her and just waited for them to arrive. >> reporter: now we're learning the school custodian, jim wilson, acted bravely as well. >> this situation happened in the hallway, and that custodian put himself in front so that bullets would not hit other children. >> reporter: wilson and two others were injured. all have since been released from the hospital. this morning, with the sixth grade suspect in custody, authorities aren't commenting on the motive, and students say they're shocked. >> i knew the shooter. her older sister is one of a good friends of mine. >> were you surprised yesterday? >> i was really surprised. >> reporter: now, after the most terrifying day of their lives, these teen baseball players are trying to return to some sense of normalcy, and their parents could not be happier. >> there was definitely angels around all our kids that day. it could have been a lot worse, and thank goodness for those teachers and brave kids.

>> reporter: nobody died in either of these shootings, and now idaho's governor is praising law enforcement and the school system for their actions, guys. >> will carr, incredibly traumatic story there. we move onto a new controversial voting bill in texas. some are calling it restrictive. it's now one step closer to becoming law. abc's faith abubey has more from washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this bill has sparked so much controversy. the white house is weighing in saying, president biden believes these bills are making it harder for people to vote, not easier. the texas house republican-controlled is looking at this bill, advanced this bill after hours and hours of debate on the house floor. the bill is now headed to the republican-controlled state senate where more changes can be made before final approval. as it stands now, among other things, there will be changes to this bill that would prohibit state officials from mass mailing unsolicited ballot applications to voters, and it could also penalize voter assistance at the ballot box.

this means texas is now one step closer to joining nine other republican-controlled states that have enacted similar laws. we're talking georgia and of course, this week in florida as well. republicans say that these changes are meant to secure the votes, and also instill confidence in the results. however, it's worth noting that hes of the020 elections,ning on and while president trump -- former president trump is still insisting that falsely that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 elections, bottom line, nonpartisan analysts who have looked at these bills, studied these details believe it will, in fact, create barriers for marginalized and disenfranchised communities. like blacks and minorities trying to vote. >> faith, thank you so much for your reporting this morning. we're going to turn now to a "gma" exclusive. our interview with the former presidential candidate and current transportation secretary pete buttigieg who says he is trying to prevent an economic catastrophe caused by crumbling infrastructure.

our transportation correspondent gio benitez spoke to buttigieg, and he's here now with much more on this. gio, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, dan, good morning. the secretary is going around the country pushing for that massive infrastructure plan, and it was on one of those trips where we met him for this one-on-one interview. this is one of america's busiest on it to meet exclusively with transportation secretary pete buttigieg. he's here to see the aging river systems that freight workers rely on. >> and if one of these systems fails, what could happen here? >> the impact could be catastrophic on the local economy. so the impact on jobs, the impact on economic well-being, not to mention the impact on things like traffic, could be nor mouse. >> reporter: pennsylvania ranks second in the country for structurally deficient bridges. look closely at this one. there's netting to catch any falling pieces. at another bridge nearby, chunks were falling on a playground. >> these bridges for example, unlocked economic opportunity

over the course of the last century, but they're the same bridges. they're 100 years old, and we're relying on infrastructure from the last century. >> reporter: the secretary is pitching the president's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan. republicans have criticized it for being too broad, pushing back against large expenses like the $400 billion to expand elderly care. will the administration budge if it has to, if, you know, certain projects are not considered classic infrastructure? >> well, look, this is a negotiation, and of course, we want to hear other ideas, but what's not an option is to do nothing. >> one of the questions i always hear is, is how do you pay for this? how do you pay for this? >> one of the important things to understand about this bill is that it's fully paid for. the president's vision doesn't add to the deficit. all you've got to do is ask corporations to pay their fair share. set a tax rate that's not high, lower than it's been most of my lifetime, but enough to get the

job done. >> reporter: as congress debates what should be in that bill, we ask secretary buttigieg about the newest and fastest form of transportation for civilians, space travel. just this week, the jeff bezos company blue origin announced it would be the first to launch a civilian from u.s. soil in july. >> 2020 has proved to be a decade for space tourism. it's not just for the lucky few who right now can afford to be among the first to do it, but because of the jobs it can create and the industries that it can support. now for us as a department, our main concern is safety. we just want to make sure that these things are safe for those who are directly involved and communities around where there's a launch or a landing or a test. >> you're a pretty daring guy though. would you be willing to go up there if given the opportunity? >> i would do it in a heartbeat, but i don't think it's quite compatible with our family budget at the moment. >> it is a little bit pricey right now. meanwhile, the secretary says he and the president will keep meeting with democrats and republicans in congress to help

find common ground, dan. >> gio, let me go back to the issue of space for a second. speaking of space, there's this ten-story tall chinese rocket that we've all been hearing about that's set to crash somewhere on the planet this weekend. what's the latest you're hearing on this? >> reporter: well, dan, you know what? the u.s. space force estimates that it could re-enter the atmosphere any time between 5:00 p.m. eastern tonight and 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. it is a huge window of time, and where it lands is anyone's guess because they won't know exactly where until a few hours before. it's a scary situation here. >> in other words, we have no idea what we're up against here. gio, thank you very much. we appreciate it. fd the same time. >> exactly. time now for the weather, and a sign of the times, rob marciano is at a carousel that just reopened in brooklyn. oh, i know where you are. you're by the brooklyn bridge. >> you know it. that's right. down under the manhattan bridge

overpass as they like to say, and while you guys dream about riding rockets, i just dream about getting on that carousel later in the show. we'll have more on that. so far the rain has held off here, but we had some rough weather down in the carolinas yesterday. i want to show you this incredible video out of fairfield county, the airport there just north of columbia. those planes are getting tossed around like nothing. there was a tornado close by, and winds were tacked at over 100 miles per hour. ef-1 obviously doing damage there, hail and rain coming down sideways in leland, north carolina. that's enough to take out a windshield. today, we do have a severe weather threat as the pulse comes out of the rockies and snow in montana, but the severe weather will be a threat across kansas and in through missouri, tornadoes possible, damaging winds and large hail, and subway going over the overpass at the moment. it looks messy through mother's day in the ohio river valley in the northeast, and the severe

weather threat will be in little rock to memphis with a threat for tornadoes through tomorrow afternoon. that's a check on what's happening nationally weatherwise. good morning. it's a warmer and windy weekend. red flag warning for the east bay and mountains of the north bay and the hills of the north bay. winds in excess of 50-mile per hour, relative humidity dropping below 20%. 60s with the gusty winds at the coast, near 80 around the bay low 90s inland. what a great spot down here. you can see the world trade, the brooklyn bridge, the carousel, manhattan bridge, and litter clatter of subways going. we are getting back to some sort of normal. i love it. now that global concert

indictment during his arrest. relative to recent history, the charges came swift. chauvin was charged last month. >> this was about george floyd's life. the fact that he had a constitutional right to life, and when they denied him a breath for being on his neck for 9:29, if that wasn't a constitutional violation, we don't know what was. >> reporter: we reached out to these officers and received no comment, but legal experts are already considering the implication of these new charges, both on the three officers who have yet to stand trial in minnesota, but also the jurors that will have to determine their guilt or innocence, dan. >> many more steps to come. zachary, thank you very much. we want to turn to another police-involved shooting death,

up online. over 40 attorneys general recently issuing letters to ebay, twitter, shopify and offerup urging them to help fight the problem. >> there's concerns they're in the thousands, and we can't have that. it was significant enough that it got the attention of over 40 attorneys general throughout the united states, but my message is don't do it. get a vaccine. they're available. >> reporter: so what happens if you buy a fake card? well, it's considered a fraudulent medical document, and the d.a. we spoke to said her office is working with the state and the feds, and she says they will find you if you bought one. whit? >> interesting story. all right, zohreen, thank you so much. we appreciate it. coming up here on "good morning america," emmanuel acho helping us all to navigate tough topics with his new book. us alh topics with his new book. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you.
