health care, delta variant is very much out there. it is a concern. of pent-up demand in health care services. we see pharmaceutical companies and health care as a general sector well positioned same thing for banking and financials in general. historically, this is the sector that is related to the rising interest rate environment. federal reserve has a general expectation it will start tapering as soon as the winter investors are expecting and the market is expecting the rates will be going up and market margins for financials are going to be wider than what we have seen before. rotating and looking at equities of evaluations and how they are positioned in the marketplace and what are the earnings for the companies what we need to see. we need to look at our investment portfolios in equity and bonds. getting through the higher interest rate requirement is going to be quite a challenge and we need to be prepared and do healthy profit taking in certain sectors and rotate to quality and making sure we're positioned to get through the challenging times

think one of the things about this administration when it comes to covid-19, if they can get delta taken careo get out of the houses, we can take these masks off, it is going to be easier to get the american people to care about all of these other things. i think they know that. they know that if they get covid-19 and get this pandemic under -- continue to get it under control, then we are going to be able -- they are going to see the president's numbers rise. they're going to see the economy be -- go better and his numbers and jobs rebound. so that is key to his administration, and they're continuing to focus on that including vaccinations. has been impressive thus far, but they still have a long road ahead as we're into those really tough people to get them vaccinated. >> and as we look ahead this month to the challenges that could face this country, face this president, frank figliuzzi, we saw this new reporting about a planned rally at the capitol for september 18th, proud boys, oath keepers reportedly planning it. a lot of online chatter about it. what are you watching for both in terms

care. we know how to treat children at this point in the pandemic. we know that more than 98% are due to the deltaiant, highly contagious, but we're able to take care of these children in a hospital-based setting. we know there are children with underlying medical conditions that are putting them at severe risk for covid pneumonia, such as obesity, diabetes, pulmonary conditions, but we do have medications to treat children. we want to keep children out of the hospital. and the reality is timely diagnosis is key. if a child needs hospital-based care, we do all we can to keep them out of the pediatric i.c.u. but the reality is that children may need i.c. i.c.u.-based care, and we're seeing that today. in infants, school-aged children, and unvaccinated teenagers are getting hit hard now. we're seeing that impact now. we need to remind parents that beyond the acute infection, we could have m.i.c. three to six weeks after infection, we're seeing a spike of m.i.c. >> brennan: doctor, good luck to you, and thank you very much for your analysis. we'll be back in a moment.

the washington post writes, the long feared rationing of medical care has become a reality in some parts of the united states as the delta variant drives a new wave of coronavirus cases, pushing hospitals to the brink. in alaska and idaho have activated statewide crisis standards of care in which health systems can prioritize patients based largely on the likelihood of survival and even deny treatment. the decisions affect covid and non-covid patients. some health-care providers have turned to crisis standards in montana as well. hawaii's governor released health workers from liability to have to ration care. is a lot of this driven by the fact that there are shortages of health care workers and this health worker burnout happening? host: -- guest: a lot of it is driven by shortages, burnout. you mentioned alaska and idaho, two highly rural states. there is a limited supply of rural clinics and hospitals, so people do not have the flexibility and labor and facility supply needed for something like a pandemic. if we had allowed opportunities for expansion of facilities, expansion of nurse practitioners or allowed physicia

and health care experts say the delta variant could be a factor in waning community among those who areted. >> remember, we made it a two-dose regimen. we were dealing with an emergent situation. we needed to get those vaccines out because they were life-saving. and in fact, they have been life-saving. what we're observing now, not only here in the united states but in other countries including israel and the uk, that the durability of the protection tends to wane, particularly in the context of the delta variant. >> cnn medical analyst dr. larry brilliant is the founder and ceo of pandefense advisory and joins me now from mill valley in california. he is also an epidemiologist and a philanthropist. thank you, doctor, for being with us and for all that you do. >> thank you, rosemary. >> so doctor, the big question everyone's asking is, when will this pandemic end? vaccinations are available to all americans, and yet some refuse to get the shot. europeans will see their vaccines much later. but now they have higher vaccination rates and are reclaiming their lives. when will this end in a

around this meeting, they will probably talk about supplies, talk about worry over delta variant, but ultimately, they carebout price. opec cares about price, and they care about keeping the coalition together. they had a big disagreement in july in which they resolved some issues, and by far this doesn't seem the path of least resistance. let's continue to go forward toward september and continue to add supply. the plan is to keep adding to the end of the year 400,000 barrels a day each month. we think they can do that and we think prices can stay around this level as demand keeps recovering. it will be more challenging in 2022, but i think opec is saying we will deal with 2022 in 2021, let's just get through 2021. yvonne: hang on a second. we have some breaking news to let viewers know. shall me -- xaomi's chairman saying they will register that auto unit. you talked about how it seems like they will talk about supply and demand. tell us about given the covid situation right now, will they be willing our -- willing or able to adjust the strategy, and how does that change the demand strategy? >> yeah, asi

oh, delta's seemingly being taken care of. >> i think that the delta rollover is -- explains a bit abouthat we've been seeing in yields, explaining that financials and cyclicals have firmed up, but in terms of catalyst, i think it will be third quarter earnings, and what does august look like? bed bath & beyond's third quarter. the worst of delta, and then the most dramatic declines were this parts of the country that didn't lock down. it's not as if in the southeast there were outright restrictions, so i don't know what looking for in terms of reopening effect there. >> we'll talk about bed bath's quarter, but its reflective of some of the things we're talking about, supply chain and covid impact back to the ten-year that rapid move up to the 1.5 area seemed to have an impact on valuations, however you want to measure it, mike nothing says we won't conceivably move somewhat higher as we end the year i do wonder will that continue to keep pressure, perhaps on multiples. >> that's completely the playbook it's been a high correlation between bond prices and big growth stocks for a while no

as the delta variant surges, americans are citing health concerns and child care needs as reasons foreturning to work. also coming up in the next month is the end of the federal eviction moratorium. the extension on that federal eviction moratorium expires on october 3rd. according to the u.s. census bureau, as many as 3.5 million americans are "likely or very likely to be kicked out of their homes this year." at least six states and one territory introduced temporary eviction stays. they are california, minnesota, new jersey, new mexico, new york and washington state. d.c. has also extended its moratorium. renters in west virginia, north carolina and louisiana have the largest number of people who are likely to lose their homes. and if you're a woman or a person of color in texas, republicans are coming for your rights. first white house press secretary jen psaki did not mince words with a male reporter when asked about women's reproductive rights. >> he believes it's up to a woman to make those decisions and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor. i know you have neve

the delta variant specifically and its impact and everything on specifically three to five year olds. is it specifically safe to allow three to five-year-old children to not wear a mask in child care outdoors? what about the delta variant in pediatric outcomes? any sort of thought on the risk of kids under 12, so questions on covid and how the delta variant is affecting children? >> so this has come up in questions from our clinical experts, and i think it's really important to emphasize right now that the public health officers, pediatricians, feel that it's incredibly important that we return our kids to in-person learning, and that this is thought that we can do it safely, we can do it safely, and it's so important for the health and wellness of our kids, our families, and our community. the best way that we can ensure that is for family members who are eligible for vaccines to get vaccinated. that can protect the children, and that can protect the school. and we have local data that supports that, so in the last 18 months, of the children who are found to test positive for covid-19 in the schools, all those cases were tracked back to the family, so i just think it's important

now, and we expect to have an answer about the severity of delta in children this month, but the clinician in me, the clinician in me who takes caref patients does believe delta is -- poses a greater threat to children. i say that because we had our first child die of covid in our hospital this past month, and talking to colleagues around the country, everyone is seeing more very sick children with covid than we've ever seen before. so the data aren't there yet, but i expect they will show it's worse for kids. >> here's what several doctors have told cnn, that most children hospitalized with covid have pre-existing conditions but not all of them. what are you seeing in your hospital? do you agree with that? >> yeah, i mean, the sad truth is that most of the kids at our hospital and across the country are either unvaccinated when they could have been vaccinated and many have pre-existing conditions. but not all. you know, we often hear people say about this epidemic, don, that we're all in this together. you know, that's true to a point. we're in the same storm, but we're not in the same boat. some of the us are in yachts. we have

delta variant. the requirements we just heard about are one part of it. but they're only one part of that. also increasing our testing capacity, shore up our hospitals and health care systems struggling with delta. what the president and all of us have said as public health leaders from the earliest part of this pandemic is that we have to use every lever of government, and we all in the private sector have to do everything we can to tackle this virus. the requirements the president announced are an example of that. earlier in the summer, the president announced requirements for federal workers to attest the vaccination. this is another step in that direction. not only will federal workers be required to vaccinate with an exemption for medical or religious purposes but also health care systems that do business with medicare and medicaid. 17 million health care workers will be required. 80 million business workers who have, you know, 100 employees or more will also now be required under the osha rule, which is a process to get vaccinated or get tested regularly. the key thing to understand, dana, is number one the data tells us these requirements work to increase va
