. >> nick watt is in los angeles. nick, the president making the hard push there for the vaccination. it's happening as vaccination rates are slowing. >> absolutely, victor. this is all part of the administration plan to try to get as many people vaccinated as possible. they're using a lot of carrot and no stick. the cdc director this morning made it clear. she said, listen, as long as people continue to get vaccinated, as long as case counts continue to fall, we will continue to update this guidance and ease the recommended restr restrictions. >> over the past year we have spent a lot of time telling americans what they cannot do, what they should not do. today i'm going to tell you some of the things you can do if you are fully vaccinated. >> reporter: you can without a mask now run, walk, bike with your family outside, attend smaller outdoor gatherings, go to an outdoor restaurant. why? >> less than 10% of documented transmission and many studies have occurred outdoors. >> reporter: this new guidance gives info, re

nick watt reports. >> fully vaccinated people can resume travel at low risk to themselves. >> reporterests the risk they will carry the virus and infect others is low, maybe a risk worth taking says the cdc. still got to mask. this easter weekend the cdc says the fully vaccinated can together unmasked inside. reality check. so far only just over 17% of americans are fully vaccinated. >> we need to hold out just a bit longer and give vaccines a chance to really get the upper hand in this. >> reporter: the vaccines work against the variant strains we know about, but more resistant mutants might emerge. nearly 80,000 new covid cases reported yesterday and that is a potential problem. >> when that infection is high, there are more chances for the virus to mutate and lead to these dangerous variants. >> the rise of a varpt iant thas insensitive to the vaccines we are using now. haven't seen that yet but the only way to stop that is by stopping the spread. >> reporter: right now we are not in kansas. the governor reissued a mask mandates and hours late, republican lawmakers nixed it. >> it's

nick watt in l.a. us. >>> let's go to michigan, that state hit by one of the worst covid-19 surges in the country. we're 're joined by governor gretchen whitmer. cities in michigan account for 7 of the 10 worst coronavirus outbreaks in urban areas right now. what do you say to your critics who say the policies you've imposed there in michigan are at least in part to blame for this? >> so michigan, unlike a lot of states, we still have a mask mandate. we still have restrictions on gatherings. we've not dropped our guard the way that many other states have. one of the issues is, though, we were able to really push our infection rate down so low for such a long period of time, now that variants are present here, we have lots of people that don't have antibodies because we were successful. now this is why it's so important that the nation surges some vaccines here. this is why it's so important that we continue to move forward in getting the population vaccinated, getting people masked up. but travel, vari

nick watt explains why the cdc advisers are delaying their decision. >> reporter: johnson & johnson's-shot vaccine remains on pause. >> in the coming weeks we are going to gather more information. >> it should not be interpreted as a signal that there is an increased concern, but a desire to better characterize the risk. >> reporter: this pause also provides time to advise physicians on how to treat these clots and to advise the public of what to watch out for. >> five of these six cases really headache is the initial presenting feature. >> reporter: johnson & johnson believes the benefits outweigh the potential risks. >> based on the current data the overall benefit/risk profile for our vaccine is positive across the population for which it's authorized. >> reporter: note, those clots reported in .00008% of people who got the johnson & johnson shot. also not a single case of this kind of clot after the more than 182 million doses of the moderna and pfizer vaccines administered. all right. more brighter side. >> our vaccination program is accelerating. >> reporter: now averaging nearl

nick watt has more now from los angeles. >> reporter: well, laura, that more contagious variant firstound in the united kingdom is now dominant here in the united states and is at least in part behind a recent rise in cases and hospitalizations. the good news, the average daily death toll in this country is still falling. why? well, the cdc says that is down to the vaccine rollout, particularly vaccinations among the elderly and more vulnerable population. now, with perhaps some end in sight, light at the end of the tunnel, what are people looking forward to? listen to this 95-year-old world war ii veteran and bon jovi fan. >> i will be going to karaoke as often and as much as i can. >> wanted dead or alive. >> reporter: so the white house says that within a couple of weeks half of american adults will have had at least their first shot but that means that half of american adults will not have had their first shot. so where is the finish line? the president says we are not there yet. so where is it? well, dr. anthony fauci wouldn't be drawing on any numbers or met contribution, all he

. >> i did on cnn with debra watts and she just brought him back to life.eople forgot about him but he was the first george floyd. >> the woman was mentioned, debra watts, is with me right now. >> your cousin was murdered by two white men who were acquitted, later admitted they were guilty. the late john lewis called emmitt till his george floyd. you know, i know you met philonise floyd while protesting floyd's death and you have been with him throughout the trial. i saw the emotional connection. she and her crew left after the interview and they came back to get something 40 minutes later, you are still talking and you were still talking and still together, what is your reaction today to the verdict that derek chauvin found guilty on all three counts? >> i am ecstatic and i knew this would happen, i knew it. i knew they would get it right. i am happy for the family and the country. i do know the work is not done. justice, we still have a lot more work to do to get justice for others as well. pleased, i'm so greatful for the jury, to the judge who will hope

nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >>> and while the new cdc guidelines give some hope for normalcy in the., it's unclear what exactly constitutes a small outdoor gathering. the u.s. surgeon general tries to explain saying americans should maintain a reasonable distance from each other when not wearing masks. >> while there's not a hard and fast number the cdc put out, part of what constitutes small has to do with how many people you can come together with without crowding. so what we don't want is people jammed up in closed spaces because in that setting, even if you are outdoors, there may be a greater risk that you may be able to, again, have virus pass between two individuals. so, you know, groups where people can be reasonably spaced and distance where they are not jammed into one space those smaller group settings are the ones that are safer. >>> india drowning under a massive wave of covid deaths and infections has just reached a tragic milestone. the country has now topped 200,000 deaths. a new model predicts the death toll is actually much higher and could hit almost 1 million bef

nick watt, thanks so much. appreciate it.iscuss all of this with a cardiologist and a professor medicine at gw university. dr. reiner, what do you think is the proper guidance for people who are fully vaccinated? is it faf to not wear a mask if you're fully vaccinated and you're walking outside? >> reporter: i do think it is. what we've learned now with striking clarity after vaccinating over 200 million people is that these vaccines work as advertised. so if you look at the first 87 million people fully vaccinated, there have only been about 5,000 symptomatic infections. that's a rate of like .005%, and if you look at the death rate in fully vaccinated people, it's, you know, two orders of magnitude less than that, like .0009%, so the vaccines work. so i think that it's time to start opening the country to vaccinated people. vaccinated people can if to a restaurant and eat. >> okay. >> reporter: vaccinated people can go out without masks on. >> what if i'm fully vaccinated, dave matthews is coming to d.c. in august. is it sa

cnn's nick watt reports. >> today we did it.oday we hit 200 million shots in the 92nd day in office. >> reporter: in just a couple of weeks vaccine supply may outstrip demand in the u.s., so says a just published report. that is both good news -- >> some experts say that the rapid vaccination effort has already saved tens of thousands of american lives. >> reporter: and it's bad news. just over a quarter of americans are now fully separated, that needs to maybe triple to reach herd immunity. could be close. only 61% of adults said they had or want the shot. so that poll is a month old. >> obviously there is an element of vaccine hesitancy or concern that we need to address. >> i'm calling on every employer, large and small, in every state to give employees the time off they need with pay to get vaccinated. the irs is posting instructions for now employers can get reimbursed for the cost. >> reporter: south dakota just joined a handful of others banning state or local government from mandating vaccine passports to prove inoculati
