because her weight played a lot in it. >> reporter: did the doctor ever speak to you about her weight and that being a factor? >> he did. he did. he told me being that she is a large person, her heart could not pump like it should have beenng. >> rep the c says people with certain comorbidities are more at risk of having severe symptoms of covid-19 which among them are obesity, chronic kidney and heart disease, asthma, and cancer. right now the majority of cases receive positive with covid-19 are the unvaccinated, period. >> reporter: cbs medical contribute dr. david agus says vaccines are stopping people from getting seriously ill, and that nearly everyone who has died after being vaccinated has had some type of serious underlying medical condition. >> it's very important for ever single person who has been vaccinated to know if you have other medical conditions, the vaccine doesn't protect from those becoming an issue or causing a problem.

while the vaccines may give you some protection, it's not enough to overcome the medical issues or the lack of a very strong immune system, unfortunately. >> reporter: angel's mother herri her famil terghok v w inated. >> that's nice. that's a beautiful color too. >> reporter: angel was a budding entrepreneur. she owned brave beautiqeu in new orleans, a store that specialized in clothes for plus sized women. inside bright colored clothing. outside a growing memorial. if she were here right now, what would she want you to say? >> keep her business going. that was her baby. that was her dream. i know she would really want people to know to actually vaccinated still, to still mask up. it's very imperative that we still mask up. >> reporter: angel was buried over the weekend.

her mother buried her in one of the dresses that was sold at her store. and angel's mom tells us she plans to keep that store up and running. one more thing before we go. the leading health officer said here in louisiana just on friday that 100 people here in louisiana have died after being fully vaccinated, 23 within the past week. but he made this point. he said the median age of people who were those breakthrough cases and getting really sick and dying, the median age is 74 years old. and the vast majority of those people all have pretty severe underlying conditions. >> that's david begnaud in louisiana. there has been a surge in covid cases at nursing homes. it's not the residents, but the caregivers. and now there is growing pressure to have them all vaccinated. the cdc r 27 fe among reside i august, bu among tt nu was nearly 5,000. manuel bojorquez has the story. >> early 2020 just started and we were in and out of the

hospital. >> reporter: when jennifer moore saw her husband's parkinson's disease take a turn for the worse, the couple knew it was time for him to live in a long-term care facility. tom moore moved into the west broward rehabilitation center. just days before the pandemic forced the home to close to visitors. >> he would tell me that he thought he was being kidnapped to mexico because nothing was familiar. >> reporter: what was that like for you to hear? >> oh, my heart was breaking. i mean, this is a man who i spent the better part of 20 some years with. and then all of the sudden i wasn't able to see him for months on end. >> reporter: when the vaccines started to roll out, i'm imagining he was probably among the first group of people to be vaccinated? >> yes. i said i want him to be the first person in that building vaccinated. >> reporter: but the nursing home staff apparently wasn't as eager to get their shots. according to the centers for medicare and medicaid services, as of august 1, only about 32%

of the employees at the facility have been fully vaccinated, compared to more than 90% of its residents. in fact, florida has the second lowest nursing home staff vaccination rate in the nation after louisiana. >> we lost one yesterday. and it was in my opinion it was preventible. >> reporter: after brian robert started seeing more residents test positive of the facility he runs in lakeland, florida, he decided to make the shots mandatory for new and current hires. >> there are a handful of the you can't tell me what to do. and they're correct. well cannot make them get vaccinated. but we can require it for employees who work here. >> reporter: moore wants her husband's nursing home to follow suit. so many of them are understaffed. that's a concern too. >> maybe if -- i think it's a lot of it is education. these are not people who are necessarily politically motivated to be unvaccinated.

>> reporter: you think some may be falling prey to misinformation? >> yes. >> reporter: she says in recent months, she's received dozens of voice mails notifying her of new cases either among staff or residents. >> they have to close down visitation whenever they -- whenever they get a certain number of positive cases in the facility. even if my husband is protected because he's vaccinated, they're impacting an essential part of his care, which is to be connected with his family. >> reporter: manuel don't settle. start your day with secret. secret stops odor-causing sweat 3x more. and the provitamin b5 formula is gentle on skin. with secret, outlast anything! no sweat. secret. ♪ all strength. no sweat. ♪ (ringing) - hey kaleb, what's up? how you doing? - hey, i'm good, guess what, i just had my 13th surgery. - really? i just had my 17th surgery.

happens to one, the other typically remarries. but not amelia. she wasn't leaving her man, no honkin way. >> reporter: throughout his convalescence, now in its fourth week, they'd been putting arnold in a pen out back. an hour daily for fresh air. and every time, without fail, amelia comes running to her gander, marches right into his cage in full-throated surrender. >> i think it really gave us all a new respect for how social these animals are, and sort of the depth they have in but iem love? >>he you irknow, i don't know i it's love, but they really make each other calm and happy. i think we could all learn something from them. >> reporter: arnold was released this week, back into the wings of his beloved. and although the couple was in no rush to fly the coop, they won't stick around for long. still, hopefully their example

will stay with us. because what's good for the goose is crucial for mankind.
