weeks. >> the cdc now pointing to three new studies highlighting the protection provided by getting vaccinated and boosted. let's go back to abc's zohreen shah in california with more. good morning, again, zohreen. >> reporter: hey, good morning, eva. less than half of people eligible for a booster have gotten it. now there is new research on that extra shot showing that your chances of staying out of the hospital and living are dramatically higher with a booster. this morning, a promising cdc study showing the strength of boosters. the study confirming a third shot cuts the risk of landing in the e.r. or urgent care by 94% when it comes to the delta variant and 82% for omicron. another study showing if you are completely unvaccinated you're 14 times more likely to be infected and 53 times more likely to die compared to people who are boosted. >> second, protection against infection and hospitalization

with the omicron variant is highest for those who are up to date with their vaccination, meaning those who are boosted when they are eligible. >> reporter: but many of those eligible still haven't gotten the vaccine. the u.s. recording over 18 million new cases in the last month alone, more than a quarter of the nation's total number of confirmed covid-19 cases reported since the beginning of the pandemic. with covid-19 tests still in short supply, testing processing labs like this one in north carolina slammed trying to meet demands. but some places like san francisco are starting to plateau when it comes to cases. >> the light at the end of the tunnel is here. >> reporter: nationwide a 10% decrease in cases. the cdc acknowledging that drop while also issuing a stark warning. >> let me just say cases are coming down. we still are at extraordinarily high levels of disease. >> reporter: in wisconsin, hospitals overrun. >> we're finding we've had to put patients sitting on a cot in

the hallway. >> reporter: exhausted but there is one silver lining, if you are someone who's gotten covid dr. fauci says it's highly unlikely you get the same variants at least for the next several months. >> all right, zohreen, thank you so much. now to the tensions between russia and ukraine. as the u.s. negotiates for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, we're getting a look on the ground in ukraine. let's go to abc's patrick reevell. >> reporter: janai, the talks in geneva watched closely in ukraine's capital did offer a glimmer of hope that russia still wants to continue diplomacy for now, but they did not dispel the fear of a russian attack. we just got back from the front line where ukrainian troops have been dug in for the past eight years facing off against russian controlled separatist rebels. the soldiers there told us that there hasn't been an uptick in fighting recently but as there has been for years daily firing between the rebels and ukrainian troops.

if an invasion happens, that will be ground zero. russia has repeatedly denied it will attack ukraine but it is continuing to amass troops with more arriving daily. a senior ukrainian commander telling us there are now 127,000 russian soldiers near the borders. the u.s. and european countries trying to increase support for ukraine. germany saying it will send a field hospital. the question now is what russia will do next week when the u.s. sends these written responses to its demands. whit. >> patrick reevell there in ukraine, thank you. turning to new findings on the effects of cannabis use in the body. according to a new study that observed more than 40,000 people, the drug's impact may last longer than the high. this study found that verbal learning and memory were most affected during and after intoxication especially for chronic and heavy users and those who use at a younger age, the study offers an important link between cannabis and lasting effects.

if no federation exists they follow their international olympic committee's policy. the head of the ncaa panel releasing a statement saying we are steadfast in our support of transgender student athletes and the fostering of fairness across college sports. chris mosier on team usa competing in the sprint duathlon is among those disappointed when the guidelines, saying the ncaa missed an opportunity to stand up for trans athletes rights. >> it will be difficult for the ncaa to manage compliance with these rules, to figure out what they need to do to be in compliance with these rules. i'm really worried about the transgender and nonbinary young people who are seeing this policy who are wondering if it's possible for them to be their authentic selves and continue to play the sports that they love. >> reporter: this comes as roughly 280 anti-lgbtq bills have been proposed in state legislatures, targeting transgender access to sports and health care, but the debate was

largely sparked by trans swimmer leah thomas. she smashed records on the university of pennsylvania's women's team after competing on the men's team the previous three years. >> i have to like re-adjust my goals, struggling to be anywhere close to where i was. >> reporter: penn athletics supporting thomas saying we will work with the ncaa regarding her participation under the newly adopted standards. prominent voices weighing in on the controversy, attacking it from a different angle. caitlyn jenner condemning it on fox news. >> number one, biological boys, i've said from the beginning, should not be playing in women's sports. we need to protect women's sports. >> reporter: and swimming legend michael phelps on cnn. >> i believe that we all should feel comfortable with who we are in our own skin, but i think sports should all be played at an even playing field. >> reporter: kaylee hartung, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to kaylee for that report.

starting with the peanut butter, what should we be looking for on the nutrition label, and how should we store what we buy to make sure it lasts? >> for some of us on that nutrition facts label we'll want to look at the added sugars, added salt and added fats. that's something that you really want to pay attention to. now, when we're thinking about storage, natural peanut butters and peanut butters without preservatives, those need to be stored in a cool, dry place, and they can last up to 30 days. if you put it into the refrigerator it will last even longer. >> what about the jelly part of the pb & j, you can get carried away with the sugar on that. how do we make nutritious choices on all of this? >> absolutely. an excellent question. so for some people there are going to be able to tolerate and found palatable natural fruit. you can puree it or chop it in place of jam or jelly. now, i want to remind you when

it says sugar-free or no added sugar, there may be some preservatives or stabilizers that have been put in to, you know, boost that mouth feel so that's when i say look for something that's 100% fruit and maybe it's just done with fruit and fruit juice and that's quite tasty. >> so, maya, let's turn to the nut aisle. nuts are not cheap. how do we pick the nuts that will give us the most bang for our buck? >> yeah, nuts are very expensive in many places. so here you'll notice that i have nuts that are in their shell. those tend to last longer, a little more work for you but last longer. also depends on how the nut is packaged and also its fat content. the higher the fat content of the nut, the more likely it is to spoil. so i always say you want to think about where you're storing your nuts. those two can go into the refrigerator. now, if you're thinking about ones that are allergy friendly i like to lean into sunflower seeds because they make a great spreadable butter, and for people who can't tolerate tree nuts, that's an excellent choice. when you're thinking about your

favorites, my favorite is cashews. they're incredible when you cook them and if you eat them raw. i love all nuts but cashews do double duty, so good in food and just eating. >> i'm right there with you. we have to keep cashews at our house to snack on and for dishes we use them for. thank you so much, maya, for joining us this morning. all right, now let's turn back to rob for another check of the weather. hey, rob. >> what is happening, guys? baby ella doing her thing on the zamboni. check this -- this is -- i've never seen anything like this. boise, idaho, we got this video of this cute kid doing her thing to help smooth the ice out there in boise. no ice here in this part at least of lake superior but getting there. the sea smoke sent in. southwestern side of the lake to indicate how cold it is coming over the relatively warm waters of the great lakes. nothing warm about the frozen tundra tonight, big games

parts. which vendors are couples willing to splurge on. >> thanks so much for having me today. i'm really excited to be here. a wedding does have so many moving pieces and vendors are such an important part of the puzzle and at zola we're seeing 2022 will be such a huge year and couples are willing to stretch a little bit so at number one, vendor splurge, photographers. you know, it makes sense, couples want to capture the moments and memories they're having together. and then at number two we have an open bar. i think that guests can really expect to have a super fun wedding season, get down with a little extra champagne, a few specialty cocktails. and at number three we have venue. venue sets the vibe and the tone for the entire wedding and at zola we have a new part where you can search for venues across the country and book whatever kind of venue they're looking for. >> i never had to think about any of this because i had 14 people at my wedding so i had the luxury of that but for those who are considering --

especially this year, because people are trying to get back to their wedding plans, some had to be canceled or delayed but let's talk about design. are couples opting for certain color schemes for their wedding decor? is that a thing? >> yeah, you know, i think specificity is the name of the game in 2022. weddings are going to be super personal and couples are planning with so much intent so 31% of couples actually did not just check a color box but they said i'm planning with a very specific color hue in mind so at number one we do have traditional wedding white. that's a little unexpected. two, we have -- yeah, number two we have green and, you know, it's not just plain old green, it's sage, eucalyptus, hunter green, olive green, very specific shades and then number three, something borrowed, something blue, you can expect to see shades of navy, turquoise, teal and a nice top of dusty blue my personal favorite. >> the other thing a lot of couples are talking about especially these days with covid

and the pandemic, the debate about the role technology should play in these festivities. what are you hearing? >> i think a debate over technology is so interesting considering so many couples are meeting and dating online and then 100% of couples are planning their weddings online with zola's mobile app. but in terms of should i have an unplugged wedding or not, it can be polarizing. 40% of couples are actually voting for no phones at weddings. i'm personally with these couples because i think we've all been so connected online, i'm on zoom right now, that it's so nice to disconnect on that day. but in terms of technology that's a real do we see hashtags so in our community hashtag help is the number one question and couples create their own hashtags and finally we see virtual weddings and see streaming of weddings considering not everybody will be able to make it. guest lists are still getting longer. >> okay, great tips and all the trends, emily, thank you so much. we appreciate it.

>> thanks so much. i hope to see you on the dance floor. >> oh, you will always catch me on the dance floor. believe that. all right, emily, we'll talk soon. up next here it's our pizza party palooza. we'll be right back. need some beats. the guest bedroom slash music studio. the daybed slash dog bed. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash classroom. and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. ♪ juliana, big mac, no pickles, extra special sauce. jimena, quarter pounder with cheese, extra pickles, no onions. thanks dad! you got it! enjoy any 2 classics for $6, like a big mac or quarter pounder with cheese, for a limited time, at mcdonald's .

bread with a filling of cheese and ham or pepperoni. once you have this cake you might never have a sweet cake again. >> so show us how you do it. i saw it on instagram yesterday and it looked so good and you start with pizza dough or do you start with pizza batter? >> so that's the thing, i start with typical ingredients of a pizza dough but make it a batter so the warm water, the yeast, the flour, but then i added eggs and that made it pourable and also created a nice fluffy cake so the bottom is 2 1/2 cups of your pizza batter, then i add ham and cheese because, you know, that's what my kids love, all right, we're going to get that in there but this is your pizza party. you want meatballs? >> this is the part we can customize it. >> exactly. you can even make this hawaiian. this is where you're taking your typical pizza toppings and putting it inside as you're

filling. then your pizza batter gets poured on top. so we'll pour this all over the top, all right? and spread it out. >> nice. with a cake i like the sprinkles and the roses. i like the toppings, what are the equivalents here for the pizza cake? >> roses? wow, you're fancy. >> oh, yeah. >> i do agree, it's all about the sprinkles and frosting but this is a pizza cake so we're going to use marinara as our frosting. here it will go down just like that on top of your dough. and then, of course, you can't forget the sprinkles, right? so we're going to spread this out nice. my sprinkles, though, of course, italian. we got oregano going down, a little salt, some salt sprinkles
