now when you shop tory's 15 exclusive deals on our website, everything from home solutions to the hottest accessories, check out goodmorningamerica.com. >> love shopping on a saturday morning. now to our "gma" cover story. kroger is one of the nation's largest supermarkets and retailers now renewing their push to get customers and employees vaccinated. dr. marc watkins is their chief medical officer and he joins us live from nashville. thanks so much for being with us. let's start with the idea that kroger is focusing on vaccine equity. explain what that is and how incentivizing vaccines is part of that. >> eva, thank you so much for having us and we're so proud to be here. we're excited to share some of the things that we're doing especially around health equity. health equity really is how do we equitably get vaccines in the arms of all americans despite anything to do with income, race, where you live, what communities you're from, we just

really want to make sure we get shots in arms around the country. >> and why is this renewed push for vaccinations so important right now? >> well, as you know, this delta variant is about twice as infectious as other variants. it's causing severe disease. we have just over the last 14 days about 113% increase in the number of new cases in the u.s. and this is very alarming. despite having 50% of the population vaccinated, we believe that this extra push to get shots in arms is incredibly important to further end this pandemic and get us back to a place where we were previously. >> you're kroger's medical expert. what are you doing to keep customers and employees safe. are masks and vaccine mandates still a possibility at this point? >> well, at this point what we've been doing, and we've been doing this all along since the

beginning of the pandemic, is with a laser focus on keeping our customers and our associates safe and especially our associates. we've invested millions of dollars in ppe and those types an associate at krt nou' ure we strongly recommend that everyone be in masks in our stores and at this point the vaccine is not mandatory but we're looking at all options and we're encouraging all of our associates to get vaccinated as soon as possible. as we know, vaccination and getting this vaccine is both safe and effective at preventing not only severe illness but hospitalization and death. >> you also have an important back to basics health reminder for everyone. tell us about that this morning. >> well, you know, we -- if you look back at january, at the height of the pandemic, the number of new cases, the vaccine was not widely available to most americans, and we relied on some

of the basics like wearing a mask, social distancing, hand washing, cleaning and disinfecting of all surfaces and those basics are fundamental at stopping -- just it's basic infection control. when we have the vaccine and you add the vaccine on top of all of those nonpharmaceutical interventions that we talked about that's an extra layer of protection. it's like belt and suspenders, it's a really good thing. >> belt and suspenders, anyone with loose pants understands what you mean by that this morning. dr. watkins, thanks so much for being with us. we appreciate you. let's switch gears and get a check of our weather and send it over to rob marciano in norwalk, connecticut, hey, rob. >> hey, good morning again, eva. we are tracking the fires in the west. over 100 large wildfires burning out there and here's video that's just i mean interesting and also kind of daunting to look at.

the inside of an old growth tree burning from the inside out, the dixie fire now i think the third largest fire in california history as we mentioned the last hour, six of the last seven largest fires in california happened in the last year, goodness. that's smoke and fire. looking like mar downwind of that fire. red flag warnings posted for tomorrow across parts of montana. air quality alerts in wyoming and colorado because of the smoke. triple-digit heat is coming back. here's the pattern with that smoke. continuing to drift off to the east and some of this is getting all the way into the great lakes and triple-digit heat is returning to northern california and parts of the intermountain here is your day planner. temperatures will be in the 50's and 60's at 9:00 with some fog at the beach throughout the day

and hazy sunshine continues into the afternoon. later on the sea breeze will pick up so temperatures will not be as warm as they were yesterday. low 90's inland, around the bay, low to mid 70's. he will start to cool down at the coast into all right, it is time now all right, it is time now for "pop news." janai is in the house. what's popping? >> you know, i'm still thinking about dan talking about spanx and lululemon because he does sometimes wear the lululemon pants. >> when i do that it's belts and suspenders. >> more lemons than lulus. >> right. it's time for "pop news." we begin this morning with the latest from swiftie nation. taylor sent her fans into a frenzy when she posted a cryptic message on her social media. it turned out to be the clues to her upcoming album "red: taylor's version" and,

wow, and her fans cracked the case as they normally do. nearly guessing all the clues and now taylor is revealing the official track list writing on instagram, quote, congrat, pals, you guessed the correct titles, and those titles include 30 songs, 21 from the original 2012 album and nine new songs straight from the vault and taylor confirmed the final song on the album will be her ten-minute version of "all too well," a track fans have been asking for. "red: taylor's version" drops november 19th. so circle the date on your calendar. also this morning, news from taylor's we'll call him a frenemy. kanye west has been hard at work on his tenth studio album "donda" after delays, a listening party and kanye himself taking up residence at atlanta's mercedes-benz stadium to finish the album, the superstar giving fans another taste of the new tracks when he hosted a second listening party at the stadium and there's that video of kanye levitating high above the crowd.

it was posted by kim kardashian who has remained supportive of kanye despite filing for divorce earlier this year. she was at the event with their four children. also worth pointing out, that cot that kanye has been sleeping on for the past two weeks while working made an appearance at the second party. no word yet on when "donda" will actually drop. you may remember the album was originally set for release back on july 24th, 2020. so the wait continues. we're waiting and excited hoping. >> in suspense, we will wait. janai, thank you so much. all right, time now to turn to travel smart before you book your next getaway. the pro tips to help you save you big and so you can safely take to the skies as well. ceo and founder of the points guy, brian kelly is joining us. brian, good morning to you. it's always great to have you. so, whether people are looking for a last-minute summer

getaway, eyeing an upcoming fall trip, or rethinking their next family vacation, what should they consider right now? >> the good thing is, if you want to stay domestic, which a lot of people want to do with this delta variant, there are tons of great deals at the points guy we're seeing under $200 for new york to chicago or chicago to d.c. and, remember, broadway is opening up and in most cities museums are fully operational. we're also seeing $237 san francisco to miami and for those families that want to stay outdoors especially with unvaccinated kids at tpg we've got three picks for national parks and just beautiful places, acadia national park in maine, torch lake in michigan, which has caribbean blue waters, and glacier national park in montana. >> and, of course, we can't ignore the delta variant and the spread of the virus. what should people know about booking and more importantly cancellations right now? >> so, flexibility is key. you need to have options so i highly recommend use your frequent flier miles.

most airlines now waive the fees if you want to cancel for any reason, you'll get your miles and taxes and fees back. even if you buy tickets, most airlines will let you change for free. however, if you book the cheapest tickets, those basic economy fares, they do have some hefty change fees associated with them. highly recommend booking in advance. if you're not comfortable traveling change your plans, most airlines and hotels have flexible cancellation policies. >> so a lot of people really haven't been traveling much the last couple of years they might be a little rusty, nervous to get back out there. you're traveling all the time. what are your pro tips for travelers as they head out there? >> my number one tip is pack a good attitude. you know, we've seen a lot of reports of unruly passengers in the sky. get to the airport a little bit earlier, be nice to the flight attendants, you know, the airline employees are at their breaking point. they're understaffed with more and more people traveling so don't be that unruly passenger and if possible, get vaccinated.

not only will it keep you safe, it'll keep others safe and hopefully get us traveling back to a place where it's safe and easy to travel again and plus, if you go internationally, having that vaccine card makes it a whole lot easier. >> yeah, please be kind to each other and show some respect. you don't want to end up with a video on "gma" either. thank you so much, brian. we truly appreciate it. dan, let's head over to you. >> great advice. time now for "deals & steals." this morning, everything is under $20 and it supports small businesses. point your cell phone camera at the qr code on your screen to start and let's get it over to tory now. tory, what's in front of me. these beauties apparently make the home sparkle. >> they do. you got it. you challenge your little inner martha stewart there, dan. this is michel design works, and it's an instant upgrade for home and kitchen. everythi i functional stuff that you could
