we'll do something different and go right to the crushing reality of a resurging pandemic. for you at home and us here, the headlines about unvaccinated americans and the delta variant are so overwhelming that what we're going to do is take you on a short tour of the country. here we go. the newest cdc data shows the u.s. is averaging more than 113,000 infections per day. that is more than a 400% increase from just last month. this map here shows just how quickly the delta variant has spread during that time. it's putting a strain on hospitals in many communities nationwide and that's particularly true in the american south. let's go to tennessee for example. new covid cases are up more than 1600% there in the last month and just under 40% of the population is protected with a full vaccination. in mississippi meanwhile, cases are so high that state health officials have asked the federal government about using the hospital ship "comfort" that floating hospital bed -- that

floating hospital boat, rather that has 1,000 beds on it. if it sounds familiar, it was docked in manhattan at the start of the pandemic. in texas cases hit a six-month high and greg abbott is deploying 2500 medical personnel to help hospitals across the state and asking other states for help while simultaneously rejecting calls to end the ban on mask mandates. more people are hospitalized with covid in the state of florida than ever before and in that state, governor ron desantis has banned schools from acquiring masks. some districts are defying that order. there is new clarity from the cdc this morning that says pregnant people should get vaccinated and as soon as possible. and some breaking news for you, a source tells cbs news the fda is expected to authorize a booster shot today for immune compromised people for whom two doses may not be enough. we are joined now by dr. anthony fauci, president biden's

chief medical advisor. dr. fauci, good to see you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> we mentioned the fda is expected to authorize a booster shot today for immune compromised people. will everyone need a booster shot at some point, dr. fauci? >> you know, it is likely that will happen at sometime in the future because it is -- it would be extremely unusual and we're already starting to see indications in some sectors about a delusion over time, the durability. we don't feel at this particular point that apart from the immune compromised we don't feel we need to give boosters right now, but importantly, we are following this in realtime, literally on a weekly and monthly basis we're following cohorts of individuals, elderly, younger individuals, people in nursing homes to determine if in fact, the level of protection is starting to attenuate and when it does get to a certain level, we will be prepared to give

boosters to those people but from what you just said a moment ago, it is imminent that we will be giving it to immune compromised. >> all right. here is a question that i've heard from a lot of people including members fa booster shot, will you need to get the same brand of vaccine you originally received? >> it is preferable that you go with the same brand. if you get moderna, get moderna, pfizer, pfizer, j&j. you will be hearing instructions about that from the fda through the cdc and the advisory committee on immunization pack f -- practices. there will be guidance when that time occurs. >> let's talk about pregnant people. the cdc has guidance based on data that found there is no increased risk for people who are pregnant to get the vaccine. what do you say to people that may be hesitant about this and may still be worried? >> well, the data are really very, very strong. if you look at the tens and tens

of thousands of pregnant women who have gotten vaccinated, there is no safety signal of concern at all. balance that against the fact that we absolutely know that when pregnant women who are unvaccinated, when those individuals get infected with sars covi 2 and get covid-19, it is very detrimental not only to the woman herself but to the fetus. so that's the reason why the recommendation has gone from could get vaccinated to should get vaccinated. >> dr. fauci, as a parent, the concern now my child going back to school and especially those under 12 who still can't get vaccinated so i'm thinking two things. when are we going to see that approval for kids under 12 and what should we be doing with masks in school and those mandates? >> well, in answer to your first question, we have been doing the studies now at the nih together with the pharmaceutical companies looking at the safety and the ability of the vaccine

to induce an appropriate response in the children and we're doing that in what's called an age deescalation way, doing 11 to 9, 9 to 6, 6 to 2 and 6 months to 2 years and we're getting good data on that right now. ultimately, it will be a regulatory decision by the fda, which will then go on to a recommendation from the advisory committee and immunization practices. i hope that's within a reasonable period of time. this fall so we can get those kids protected, but in the meantime, what you want to do, what we're recommending is that in the school system you surround the children with people who are vaccinated who are eligible to be vaccinated and that's the reason why we want to see as many as possible of the teachers and the personnel in the school to be vaccinated, children who are old enough and are eligible to get vaccinated should get vaccinated and in the other situation for

the children not eligible, that's the reason we want masking in the school for everyone vaccinated or not because we don't want to keep the children out of school. we know the effects of keeping children away from physical presence in the school, mental, social development and things like that. so we've got to balance things and that's the reason why we feel strongly we should be masking people to protect the children. >> all right. dr. fauci. what we want is to change the trajectory of the virus, the trajectory right now. thank you very much. moving on to other news this morning, new york's governor, next governor rather kathy hochul has two weeks before she starts. she's wasting no time setting herself apart from andrew cuomo. he's resigning later this month as we've been telling you over multiple allegations of sexual harassment but denies any wrongdoing.

hochul has been new york's lieutenant governor since 2015. our national correspondent has more from albany where hochul spoke to reporters for the first time since cuomo's announcement. >> i will fight like hell for you every single day like i've always done and always will. >> reporter: democrat kathy hochul will make history when she takes over as governor later this month following governor andrew cuomo's announcement he will step down. >> the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing. >> reporter: hochul was not mentioned in the state attorney general's report that detailed sexually allegations against cuomo and stressed she's not been part of his inner circle. >> i think it's very clear that the governor and i have not been close physically or otherwise. >> reporter: cuomo's top aid melissa de rosa who resigned

sunday night was discrediting one of cuomo's accusers but now staying in her job until cuomo departs. >> no one has named, who is named as doing anything unethical in the report will remain in my administration. >> reporter: hochul promised an overhaul in the office call ult >> i want people to feel welcome and fight for the people of new york and never have to worry about harassment. >> reporter: cuomo will no longer be governor, state law makers will meet in albany on monday to discuss the future of the impeachment investigation. we asked hochul if she thinks they should move forward. >> it's not the responsibility of a future governor to comment on the assembly or judiciary commit committee but i have full confidence they will come to the right conclusions. >> reporter: hochul said she never had plans to run for governor before but now that she's in the situation, she says she definitely plans to run for a full term.

dana? >> thank you, you've been doing a great job on this story. i know today is your birthday. happy birthday. i hope you get a little bit of break from some of the news. >> i did not know that. happy birthday. >> it is her birthday. wanted to point it out. >> reporter: thank you so much. >> enjoy the day. in other news, the ncaa ruled a college football program that failed to act on reports of sexual assault did not violate any of its rules. this stems from a 2016 report which found that baylor univ university failed to take appropriate action to respond to multiple reports of sexual assault reportedly committed by football players. the head football coach was fired after that report and disputed he did anything wrong. the school acknowledged the quote significant and moral failings related to sexual and inter personal violence. the punishment is minor. baylor will get probation and pay a fine but that's not about

the sexual assault scandal but other violations like improper recruiting practices and this created an uproar because people were surprised. it's a little tough to narrow down but one thing to remember is the rules they have in place, these infractions sounds like it would cover it, it doesn't. it says it's a severe breach of conduct one or more violations that undermines or threatens the integrity of the ncaa model but that's related to fair play. to play on the field. it doesn't have to do with this so this they say is out of their per view in order to punish. so you go back in time and say jerry sandusky at penn state. they did. mark said at the time we're never going to put football ahead of the safety of people like this. they also backed off on those infractions after some time because people criticized them for this. they are saying now they need to maybe look at the rule book and start rewriting it so it does cover issues like this. >> so they're not saying there is nothing wrong with this but this into account. >> exactly. part of it is this was going on

and the entire atmosphere on campus was not addressed. the university itself was not that the athletes weren't alone in this culture. >> we'll see where it goes from there. two high school basketball coaches are facing murder charges following a teenager's death after outdoor practice. he died in 2019 after collapsing outside her atlanta high school. the cause of death was heat stroke. last month a grand jury indicted her coaches on multiple felonies including second-degree murder and cruelty to children in the second degree. mark spoke with her father who hopes the charges lead to justice ex sand safety for othe kids. >> reporter: bell was a high school junior with dreams of going to stanford and a love of basketball. >> amani was a fantastic kid. >> daddy's girl or mommy's girl? >> daddy's girl. >> reporter: because? >> we had a special bond. >> reporter: eric bell's 16-year-old daughter die twod

yea two years ago tomorrow after running the stairs of her high school football stadium. the coaches held the outdoor conditioning practice despite a heat index of 10 3 degrees. at the hospital e.r. doctors could not save her. >> the doctors worked on her for about 45 minutes to an hour and body just couldn't take anymore and we was like keep working, keep working. he was like, we can't. the body is not responding anymore. >> reporter: you actually watched your daughter die? >> yes, i was in the room. i was actually in the room, and you know, that's just a memory i'll never forget. it's -- i replay it every day and, you know, it's just kind of -- it's tough. >> reporter: bell's anderlyg me issues. she died of hyper therm ya, heat

stroke. the day she collapsed the actual temperatures reached 97 degrees. the state's puathletic regulatis ban any outdoor act tiivities ae 93 degrees. the school district sent a warning no sports or clubs outside. eric bell is also a basketball coach. you had a practice schedule that day? >> yes. >> reporter: you cancelled it? >> cancelled it we. >> reporter: because? >> it was too hot outside. one thing counts, to get the kids back home to parents. >> reporter: bell blame s the two coaches. they face second-degree murder charges. >> every coach is now going to have to think about amani bell and the repercussions of putting winning over life. >> reporter: amani bell was cla climbing stadium stairs like these in the heat when she collapsed. clayton county's school district

welcome back to "cbs this morning," some health officials say addiction to antianxiety medications is as growing pandemic. xanas are prescribed, it is part of a class of antianxiety drug referred to as benzo. one of the most prescribed psychiatric drugs in the united states. some users can experience brutal withdraw symptomsn to quit. in an episode, we spoke with one young woman about her struggle with addiction.

>> reporter: we met grace on day 240 of a grueling process trying to wean herself off on antianxiety drug she was taken on doctor's order. >> it is honestly miserable. it is a little bit, well, it is definitely a mind game because i want nothing to do with this, yet, in order to function and get off of it, i have to keep taking it. >> reporter: she was 16 when a physiatrist gave her a starter dose of xanax. at her highest dose, she was prescribed up to 24 times that amount. six milligrams. >> did your doctor express any concerns of upping the dose? >> no. never. >> did your doctor talked to you about problems getting addicted? >> no, never. >> reporter: what did your doctor say? >> he just wrote it to me and gave it to me.

>> reporter: and you thought what? >> this doctor is trying to help me because my anxiety disorder is getting so much worse so i must need what she's giving me. >> reporter: grace told us her doctor also never warned her of the challenges of coming off the drug. what's known as tapering. >> reporter: what does it feel like to taper? >> it is night sweats and night terrors and massive rebound panic attacks. i set a timer 15 minutes to tell myself let's survive this 15 minutes and it will be done. >> reporter: when the 15 minutes is up? >> i hope to god it is done but it is usually not. i usually reset that timer. >> seth jones is joining us now. good morning. >> we heard the challenges from grace there. what have you heard from the maker of xanax. >> they told us tisd a treatmen

stanford. she was the early doctor warning about this opioid crisis, she sees a lot of parallels and even though the highest number of prescription for benzos back in 2013, there has been a slight downward trend, she says they saw it also in the opioid epidemic where doctors prescribe this and awareness of some of the risks of prescriptions may go down a little bit. you have this chronic relapsing issue where people are then replacing the drugs with something else. we spoke with little xan. he's taking 50 times the initial starter dose. he said he was taking what was given by his doctor. >> seth, thank you very much,

the cdc that says pregnant people should get vaccinated and as soon as possible. will everybody need a booster at some point? >> at this particular point apart from the immune compromised, we don't feel we need to give moste boosters now >> hochul never had plans to run for governor but now that she is in this situation, she plans to run for a full term. bell was climbing stadium stairs like this when she collapsed. those coaches that work out athletes in the summer heat have heard about this case. >> a city 90 miles southwest of kabul. this would be the biggest prize for the taliban. stevie nicks cancelled her tour for 2021 because of covid. you've done it, america. thanks to the landslide of cases, stevie can only perform

in our dreams, don't stop getting vaccinated because i'm never going back again to the storage closet. [ cheers ] >> can't leave out rihonna. >> how long did it take him to get those going? >> fantastic. >> well done, stevphen colbert. we'll begin with cdc guidance urging those that are pregnant to get vaccinated. it does not increase the chances of a miscarriage. this comes as the u.s. averages more than 113,000 daily covid cases and nearly 10,000 people are disease every day. janet reports those patients include pregnant people and new moms who have not gotten the shot. >> reporter: as hospitals across the country fill with the unvaccinated, doctors in some hot spots are reporting an alarming rise in pregnant covid patients. >> more likely to be hospitalized, more likely to need care, intensive care unit,

more likely to have to be on a ventilator and more likely to die. >> reporter: dr. denise jamison is chair of gynecology and on stet t -- obstetrics. she's concerned about low vaccination among those pregnant. 23% of pregnant people in the u.s. are vaccinated. the cdc wednesday updated the guidance for them and others trying to become pregnant citing growing evidence the benefits of receiving covid-19 vaccines out weigh the risks known with pregnancy and the vaccine does not increase risk of miscarriage. it's a change from earlier guidance some called ambiguous which simply suggested vaccinations. >> i understand that pregnant persons sometimes are afraid of vaccines and other interventions but i'm afraid of what this virus is doing. >> reporter:ist -- it's information this couple wished they had sooner. she was hospital utilized with covid in late july 38 weeks

pregnant. >> sierra did not get the vaccine. why? >> for us, she didn't know enough and she didn't feel confident when it came to getting the vaccine, that it wouldn't hurt our child. >> reporter: doctors decided to deliver their son miles by c section a few days later. >> i've explained to my kids that sierra is sleeping and trying to get better. >> reporter: now, the father of three is caring for his newborn son while sierra is on a ventilator in the icu. her lungs ravaged by covid. how is sierra doing today? >> not hopeful. doctors are not hopeful, i am but they are not. >> reporter: covid causes increase of stillbirth. here at lbj hospital in houston, the emergency room is overwhelmed. so much so the blue and white tents are overflow units because so many people in the emergency

room waiting for icu beds. >> a visual reminder of the toll of the virus and the awful story about the family and poor mother. we're rootdiing for them and he sticking with the coronavirus but moving to the u.s. department of veterans affairs, the first federal agency to require employees to get covid vaccines. that was last month. well, this morning the v.a. is k3 extending that requirement for workers to get the vaccine at v.a. health facilitifaciliti. dennis joins us from washington. mr. secretary, good morning to you. what can you tell us about the impact your originate mandate had and what more can you tell us about this new one? >> yeah, thanks so much for having me, tony. good to be with you on such an important topic. a couple weeks ago we mandated about 115,000 people to get the vaccine. these are health care professionals who are most regularly in touch with veterans. that's what this is about

keeping our veterans safe and what we've noticed is that there is an uptick about a doubling of the rate of vaccination among those 35,000 health care professionals, of that first wave getting vaccinated. so that's progressing well. based on that, we've decided that we'll start tomorrow expanding the vaccination requirement to 245,000 additional employees. about 110,000 of them we believe still need the vaccination. we're doing this for a simple reason, tony. this is the best way to protect our veteran patients in the v.a. system. they've given so much this to country. they ought to have the confidence that when they come into a v.a. hospital, they will be safe. >> yeah, and preparedness is part of the v.a. mission. based on your experience, mr. secretary, i'm curious would you recommend a mandate be expanded not only to the v.a. health care network but to all federal ag

agenci agencies? >> boy, i got my hands full right as it is here with this big federal agency here. the second biggest one in the country. we have about 405,000 employees we're working through to make sure each of them is safe and has the vaccinations they need and most importantly, our veteran patients are safe. that's what this is about. so i'm focused right here on us. i'm sure other series are making these kinds of decisions and thinking this through. our experience is that this is complicated but it's very manageable. it's leading to an increase in vaccinations and we think that's going to improve outcomes for our veterans. >> the fact you guys desaicided come talk about it and the increase in vaccinations. some might read that as a suggestion you're laying the groundwork for a broad broader mandate. >> some may. i'm not big in signaling. i'm big into communicating very clearly and my communication here is very clearly this.

the most important thing each of us can do whether you work at the v.a. or work somewhere else, to protect our veterans, these heroes who have given so much to our country, the most important thing you can do is get yourself vaccinated. that will protect our veterans who have complicated health care situations, who have more comorbidities because of the sacrifices they made on behalf of this country. if you want to protect veterans, go get vaccinated. that's the message i want to send. >> mr. secretary, i was surprised and disappointed to learn the typical v.a. hospital is almost 50 years older than the typical pre viivate hospita this country and funding to modernize those hospitals was left out of the recent infrastructure bill. how will that impact your ability to provide care? >> look, first of all, the most important thing we have in these facilities are the people and

they're an unbelievable team. we're communicating with them all day today and yesterday about the vaccine requirement and that will continue to be the strength of v.a., our people, secondly, it was not included the $18 billion that the president asked for was not included in the bipartisan package passed by the senate the other night but included in the broad erer reconciliation packa going to the house for reconsideration. we are hopeful they make that investment because as you say, of our facilities, the average age of the facilities is more than 50 years old. >> yeah. >> the private sector, they average age is 10 years old. that's not sustainable. >> mr. secretary, before you go, one more question on a story we've been covering closely at cbs this morning. kathryn has followed the experience of veterans that served at a base in k 2. it's since been closed but there were toxic substances there. they were exposed to it and their doctors believe various cancers have followed, yet, the

v.a. denied services and those looking to appeal have been waiting two years or more in some cases. what's being done to help those veterans? >> yeah, thanks so much for that, tony. we announced early last week, a week ago monday that veterans who served in afghanistan and iraq over the course of these last several decades can now apply for presumptive coverage, that means we'll presume that the conditions they're experiencing were associated with their military service. they can now apply for getting things like asthma, sinitus covered and more. we're protecting the veterans, getting them the service and care they've earned and that they deserve because of what they've done for us. there is many, many other situations that our veterans have been in that we believe

have created problems for them. we're going to make sure we make it right for our veterans. we started that last week. that's just the start. so i urge veterans who find themself in that situation, please file your claim with the v.a. please come forward. we'll make every effort to make sure we're not only getting you the care you owneredearned and and need but the benefits you earned. >> secretary, that's a big step. appreciate you coming on to talk about a

that is kevin costner in "field of dreams." he is back in iowa where the movie was filmed and coming up, he'll talk to us about his love of baseball and career as an actor and director. we'll try not to say, if you build it, they will come. >> but you just did. >> i got it in real quick. we'll be right back. we'll be right back. a place where everyone lives life well-protected. ♪ and even when things go a bit wrong, we've got your back. here, things work the way you wish they would.

incredibly goofy. it was magical what happened. phil robinson decided this stuff does not happen by magic. these were people that dug in and came to iowa and for three months we made a movie like we always did. sometimes you know when you do it, movies, when they are working at their best becomes things you will never ever forget. >> it is not just "field of dreams." i am sending a theme here, where did your love of baseball come from? >> well, i want to hang with my pop. he played baseball. i used to make him to wear the m

push the results from happening from early september to november because they want to look for rare events. to me is frustrating. it is going to be many more months until we get those vaccines to children unfortunately. >> david, you know what's happening in states like texas and florida. since the vaccinated can still transmit covid, how can teachers and parents protecting kids under 12? >> so, vaccinated can transfer covid at a much lower rate. teachers need to be vaccinated and need to wear masks. children need to wear masks that are comfortcomfortable. they should wear their mask that they will wear. when you wear a mask and school with all the children, the rate of transmission and viruses remarkably wer.it is not the e r

until the virus number comes down or we get the vaccine out for kids. >> mary anne is wondering about those vaccinated in january to early february, she wants to know are we losing immunity? would a booster be identical or modified? >> that's a good question. >> yes, everybody loses about 6% of immunity in pfizer data per month. people vaccinated december or january are at the lower side of that right now. i do think there will be a booster and most people in the united states. we'll start hopefully today or tomorrow with the cdc sayng hey, people with autoimmune diseases. you are going get the same shot booster right now, same dose.
