but governor kay ivey of alabama with a very different message tonight, saying she's done what she can, it's now up to those who haven't gotten the shot to get it. in some cases, seeing this surge with large number of unvaccinated they are starting to see an uptick in new vaccinations. tonight, the numbers here. more than 187 million americans have received at least one dose. 66% now of everyone 12 years and older. and that new model tonight, how long this current surge might last. we also have dr. jha standing by. how do you keep your children safe going back to school? with breakthrough cases when should the vaccinated consider putting masks back on, and where? we have it all covers for you tonight. abc's victor oquendo leading us off. >> reporter: tonight, the delta surge is pushing some hospitals in hot zones to their limit. in the kansas city area, doctors say they're running out of beds, and kansas state health officials are bracing for it to get worse. >> everybody needs to think of this as a crisis. this is a crisis situation. >> reporter: with the rapid spread of the delta var

in alabama, the least vaccinated state, a frustrated governor kay ivey not hiding her anger with the unvaccinated, but she won't issue any new restrictions. >> folks are supposed to have common sense. but it's time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the regular folks. it's the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down. >> reporter: the white house asked whether the administration should take a tougher approach toward the unvaccinated. >> i don't think our role is to place blame, but what we can do is provide accurate information to people who are not yet vaccinated about the risk they are incurring not only among -- on themselves, but also the people around them. >> reporter: the unvaccinated making up 99% of deaths and 97% of hospitalized patients across the country. in los angeles, stephen harmon lost his battle with covid the same day he was put on a ventilator. the 34-year-old was not vaccinatd, often joking about the vaccine on social media, even tweeting, i got 99 problems but a vaccine ain't one. harmon saying this from his hospital bed -- i will not be getting vac

we had kay ivey talking about blame. any cause, should it give us any cause for unease? do you think we are going to turn the unvaccinated into some sort of social pariahs? well, i'm with steve in the sense that in some sense this is a statement of the blindingly obvious. i think it's now such a broad consensus that no matter what else we need to get out of this pandemic, vaccination as broadly as possible is part of it. i think the more interesting question it perhaps raises, and it's a debate that's ongoing in the united states, is whether that kind of language will work. in other words, the key is how do you get vaccine hesitant people to getjabbed. and it's a mix now of financial inducements and various other things. my suspicion is, particularly with new information coming about the delta variant, i think we may see a shift in the messaging in some countries away from presenting vaccination as something you do for someone else, the way kay ivey said, "you are letting us down," and hone in on it a little bit like the

many have reported that the president, kais saied, who faces political problems at home, has passed onhanks from himself and the nation. this was a surprise to much of the media as he only qualified in eighth place in the final. he has won the fifth gold medal for tunisian history of the games, and dedicated the win to all tunisians. what has been the reaction to that? he definitely stole everybody�*s hearts on sunday with that win, particularly because everybody loves and upset, don't they? they want an underdog to win. he was swimming in the outside lane because he was the slowest qualifier for the final, however he powered his way through to that victory. you could see the shock and surprise on his face afterwards. he was splashing the water, really cheering in total disbelief. a really good win for him, and you could see the emotion when he received his medal. another interesting point — they usually have these medal tracksuits, point — they usually have these medaltracksuits, but point — they usually have these medal tracksuits, but he was just in there and has normal tracksuit, h

that is cyril and kay wilkinson, they make a decision that when they get to 80, or at least when kay,ounger one, when she gets to 80 years old, they're going to kill themselves to ensure that they neverfall into agonising dementia and physical decay. why did you play with that idea? well, i was first inspired by a stray remark by a friend of mine who announced, with some conviction, that she had no desire to live beyond the age of 80, after which things seem to be going downhill, and i was curious whether or not she would be proactive once she actually got to the age of 80 or would laugh at her silly younger self and carry on indefinitely. and, you know, ithink it throws up a lot of interesting moral and emotional questions. i mean, the couple in the novel, who both work for the nhs, have a lot of social consciousness as a result, and don't want to cost the nhs too much money as they age. and they've also watched kay's father deteriorate from dementia into a person that doesn't resemble the estimable father she grew up with. and it's all very well to make a vow when you're in your 50s
