. >>> also right now as we know new york is again the epicenter of the new covid surge. just days before thousand of people are expected to pack times square for new year's eve, the big new year's eve celebration. jason carroll is standing by live in times square again for us this hour. what are city and state officials now saying about where this is all headed? >> reporter: well, if you follow the science and you follow the numbers, kate, it's head in an upwards direction, and that's what's so concerning about this. new york city numbers right now more than doubled compared to what they saw in the previous week. most of those cases, again, are among the unvaccinated. when you look across the city, what you're seeing are a number of people sometimes waiting for hours in line trying to get testing. when it comes to trying to go into a drug store, getting at-home tests and finding out oftentimes they are sold out. just a while ago the new york city mayor weighed in on this issue. he was asked about it and asked what the city is trying to do to meet need of all of the peopl

right, they most certainly do need to test after their gathering. what concerns me the most is we do see images of places in florida, texas, and new york city, right? we know those are highly populated areas, but if you look at per capita, although florida has had an increase of 860% in their cases over the past two weeks, georgia has had less of an increase in overall number of cases. if you look per capita, they actually have two times per capita hospitalization and three times per capita for their deaths and that's what's happening in small america. small america is oftentimes left out of the conversation where access is a problem. florida versus georgia has 100 more hospitals than georgia. if we're look the at the state of south carolina where i am right now, literally half of our counties, of the 46 counties in south carolina, you're not having hospital that has over 100 beds and eight of those counties don't have a single hospital at all. that's the difference when you look at new york city that has 60 plus hospitals in that one city. we have a problem in small america, and we need to start talking about how we're going to support those areas

or might have been exposed to the record various and it is exploding at such a rate here in new york right now, people are wanting to get tested and they, the testing system just cannot keep up with the total demand, and if you actually flip around this way again, you'll see that these testing areas go back all the way for a block or 2 in the direction. every single block here on 42nd street, at least for several blocks, you'll see different testing. say here. now, the mayor of new york city has been said he will not. we cancelling the new year's eve celebration in times square. he said, we're just going to scale it back to only 15000 people, but many are saying it should be cancelled completely. well, this is the upper center here. the united states has now been seen on recon variant appear in all 50 states just within the last few days. and henri conscious 1st arrived here in the us less than a month ago in washington dc. for example, the mayor there has announced a mask mandate again in neighboring new jersey. the numbers are skyrocketing there and oh, we seem to have lost the connectio

right now. fweef from new york i'm chris hayes. today a new document out of the u.s. district court in washington, d.c. revealed an interesting development in the january 6th insurrection. this document concerns the case of one of the hundreds of people who stormed the capitol that day with, a man named brandon straka. he's a relatively well-known figure in certain white wing president trump politics's, self described former liberal who founded a program walk away into the arms of donald trump. now in january, straka was indicted on three charges related to his actions at the capitol, including impeding a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct. he later entered into a plea agreement promising to work with prosecutors turning over evidence and being interviewed. he was scheduled to be sentenced next week. instead today prosecutors and straka's lawyers jointly filed this motion and that motion asks for a 30-day delay because straka has turned of new potentially significant information. quote, on december 8th, the defendant provided counsel for the government wit

in new york, right here the omicron outbreak caused huge staff shortages among first responders. polo sandoval is with us. what are you hearing from the fdny? >> emergency response services are noticing several instances they're getting emergency calls, but from people who are sick, people who are asking about getting tested or even in some cases asking for rides to get tested. what you're hearing from new york city officials is that's not what 911 is for. that's what 311 is for. the concern is for potential staff shortages. look at the numbers now, the number of emergency responders have called in sick, according to fdny, about 30% of ems workers, about 17% of firefighters called in sick here. that includes confirmed covid cases, those experiencing flu-like symptoms and those generally sick here. the thing is those numbers are twice as high as what we have seen in the last week. so what we're hearing from outgoing mayor bill de blasio, whose term ends in the year, they are weathering the storm, they're taking steps to make sure no calls go unanswered. every firehouse remains ope
