president. this is the team apparently heading into the re-election. jose, kristen? >> hans nichols in west palm beach, florida, thank you. >> and while so much of the focus has been on coronavirus tens of millions of people have had the flu and it's been a particularly harsh season for children. 33 million people in the u.s. have been sickened so far. 136 of those deaths are children, the highest number since the cdc began reporting in 2004 with the exception of the 2009 pandemic. the cdc says vaccination is the best way to prevent the disease and is still encouraging people to get theirs if you have not yet. and now to an incredibly dramatic rescue in the alps. a helmet cam captures
