neighboring georgia, the new case rate tripled in in the past two weeks. in indian, daily vaccination rates jumped 111% from three weeks a. >> the delta variant is a game changer and at this point it's not whether we vaccinate or mask, we have to do both. >> reporter: an internal document from the centers for disease control and pre investigation says the delta variant feeling much of the rise across the country produces similar viral loads in vaccinated and unvaccinated people affected. they may spread the krarnt as unvaccinated people. but it's critical to know break-through infections among vaccinated people are rampl as the cdc pushes for people to wear masks indoors, president biden says, more restrictions could be coming s. and health experts agree, unless many more americans get vaccinated, things could get much worse. >> what we can say is this virus is doing exactly what we predicted it will do. if we can't get extremely high rates of vaccination and those rates now need to be higher than they were with the original strain because of the increased

in georgia, where the case rate has more than tripled in the past two weeks and schools are about to reopen, one metro atlanta county decided to start offering cash as an incentive. cnn's natasha chen joins me with more. >> reporter: ryan, the bad news is the number of new covid cases have been rising in the state of georgia. the good news is so has the vaccination rate. the seven-day average of new vaccination doses administered is up 85% since three weeks ago. one thing we're seeing that's working today at this site is that incentives work. they're giving out $50 pre-paid debit cards. we've seen lines of cars even before the event started at 8:00 a.m. today they've vaccinated more than 200 people. we talked to the very first person in line who showed up in a wheelchair. he arrived by public transit. i talked to him about the dangers of covid but here he is, talking about what really drove him to get here today. if you are unvaccinated, you're 25 times more likely to end up in the hospital or die from covid. >> right, right. i've been listening to all of that. but really, like i say

we're also looking at georgia's overall numbers, data relative to the vaccinated pop lanes. then, of course, because we do offer surveillance testing, we are carefully monitoring the numb bers of individuals testing positive, and we're watching the up tick of the delta variant. we recognize those are critical data points to help us determine how to proceed day by day. >> lisa, the governor vowed no new mask mandates, no lockdowns. if these trends continue, how much responsibility would the governor bear if the schools had to shut down, if you hit some of the triggers? >> i understand that governor kemp has articulated his position around the masking mandate. that's an open question, to determine how much of that responsibility is there to bear. i will safe, for me as superintendent, part of what is mission critical is to issue every strategy that gives us an opportunity to say we did as much as we could to help prevent the spread. again, watching the data helps drive that. i'm certain and i'm optimistic that that would be true for our state government as well. >>> 100 studen

i'm joined by georgia's lieutenant governor, jeff duncan. lieutenant governor, great to have you on. elected officials right now are split on whether to offer vaccine payouts to boost rates. we've heard that the white house is considering up to $100 to get people vaccinated. is this something that you and governor kemp would consider statewide? >> well, certainly if you look at the data, we're in the midst of a pretty significant wave that's beginning. and you know, i look back to the lessons learned from the early parts of this pandemic, and you know, those lessons learned were, you know, that -- try to leave the partisan battles to the side to make good decisions. and you know, for me the majority of folks i talk to that are not vaccinated just have a couple of questions. they have some concerns. you know, somebody last night at dinner told me they said, you know, i keep being told to talk to my health care provider. how do i call and ask a question about the vaccine? there is no vehicle for it. the push i'm making is that we try to flood

let's begin coverage in georgia where new coronavirus cases are up 230% right now. cnn's natasha chen is live dekalb county. one of the new hot spots for covid infections and the surge is already interrupted the start of the new school year at one school, more than 100 kids now in quarantine. bring us up to speed with the latest. >> reporter: right. so the charter school in atlanta started class last tuesday and within a couple of days, they had to inform families of more than 100 students to quarantine and that's because as of friday afternoon, they've had 14 positive cases. that's because they've been actually doing a lot of testing to detect these. employees of theirs required to get tested before the school started and must continue that weekly. students strongly encouraged to test, and so out of about 1900 tests done before tuesday, they detected some positive cases and then a few more after classes started. mostly affected is that sixth grade class. nearly 100 sixth graders in quarantine. eighth graders are the ones having to move classes online because the ei

this is wrapping up in dekalb county, georgia. they vaccinated 230 people today. that's better than they expected to do. this is the third time the county has run such an event, only the second time they offered such incentive like a gift card give away, and each time in the past month, they've seen more people come in. that's a good thing. across the country, we know vaccination rates are picking up, that's true in georgia as well. the vaccination rate, 85% higher than it was three weeks ago. that's the seven day average of new vaccine doses administered. some of the people coming here have been teenagers who are getting ready to go to school this week. we talked to one 13-year-old who was a little skeptical, in the last week, decided it was best to do this before she goes back to class. >> i don't want to go to school, catch the virus. first i thought if i got the vaccine, virus went into my body, i saw people sick that didn't have the vaccine. >> that's worse, right? >> yes. >> reporter: the fear of actually getting covid. of course, that's a worse experience t

reporter: jessica, more than 200 people have come through to get vaccinated at this site in dekalb county, georgia, that's more than county officials expected. that's a good thing. there were people sort of skeptical in line about the vaccine but said it was the money being given out, $50 gift cards that brought them here. america is waking up to a new day of increased covid restrictions, president biden says we're likely to see more as cases of the highly contagious delta variant continue to rise. >> in all probability, by the way, had a good day yesterday, almost a million people got vaccinated, so i am hopeful people are beginning to realize ho how essential it is. >> they show the new rate of vaccinations the highest it has been in weeks. just under half the u.s. population is fully vaccinated. the fda says it is pulling in extra help to get covid-19 vaccines fully approved as quickly as possible to ease minds of those worried about vaccine safety. this comes as we learn more from the cdc about just how dangerous the delta variant is. the agency now says 74% of covid cases in one massachusetts

but we begin our coverage in georgia. cases there have exploded in recent days, and health officials say in the last two weeks ago, new cases have risen over 200%. natasha chen is at a vaccination drive in the atlanta area. obviously, there is a big push to get more people vaccinated right now. what are you seeing today? what are you hearing from people who are showing up to get vaccinated? >> reporter: well, jessica, it's clear that incentives actually work. because this is the largest number of people dekalb county has seen at recent vaccination events in the last month or so. that is partially because people are wanting the debit cards that are being given out. $50 debit cards for each person who gets a shot today. the first person in line that we talked to said he definitely came because of that. just now, they told us they reached 200 people vaccinated since this event started at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. we did also talk to some families who brought their young kids here. of course, you have to be 12 or older to get t

she's live at a vaccination site in dekalb county, georgia, with that story. natasha, what kind of incentives are being offered there, and are they working? >> well, boris and christi, this is billed as a back to school vaccination event, so they're giving out backpacks as well as $50 prepaid debit cards. i can tell you, the $50, that is working. because there were people lined up even before this event began. it's been going on for just about two hours now, and they have vaccinated about 100 people. that's definitely more interest than they've been seeing in the past, so something as simple as a gift card could be the trick here. the seven-day average of a new vaccination dose administered, that has also increased just as it has across the country, as you were saying here in georgia. it is 85% higher than it was three weeks ago. that average dose administered to people in the state here. so that is a positive sign. it is a race against time. it is also still a challenge convincing people to come here. we spoke to the first person in line today who actually sh

. >> so, we want to start in georgia right now. the case rating there has tripled in the last days. cnn's natasha chen is with us. we know dekalb county is a lot of places in georgia, where experts are encouraging people, roll up your sleeves. get vaccinated and they're pointing out some of their own incentives to do this. any indication it's working this morning, natasha? >> reporter: christi, the incentive is definitely working. they're giving out $50 pre-paid debit cards and there was a line before this even started. you can see all of the folks behind me, they're getting good numbers here. that is a good sign. it's tracking with what we see across the country that vaccination rates are on the steady rise. especially a sharp increase in some southern states that have been lagging in vaccinations, this is definitely a race against time. a race against that delta variant. america is waking up to a new day of increased covid restrictions and president biden says we're likely to see more as cases of the highly contagious delta variant continue to rise. >> in all probability -- by the

future of the asian life in the, to the sort of the integrity of both states, all 3 states, basically georgia that are speaking come out to states armina mother by john. and of course, it's hard to imagine now, but in the future it's about the regional cooperation evolve. there's some sort of relationship so far. unfortunately, nice group chairs would like to live the all sorts of stop the secretion of the stock list, which is now irrelevant after the war and after 26 or 7 years of english, asian. so they should come with new ideas. right. and can you just elaborate briefly on what new ideas those are via you talk about proposals like what's yeah, my number one to the total and take it off as a budget. and i mean, yeah, that means, so there is some firms, so that in the us by john all that our boss stipulated in the united nation security solutions. and when charter, the 2nd is the opening of the communication lines asked people listed. busy by the agreements, it's been, i mean us by john rooker by russia was just to basically documents the flood ation basis, november 10th, and agreement sign

cnn's natasha chen is live at a vaccination site in dekalb county, georgia, with that story. what kind of incentives are you seeing there today, natasha? good morning. >> reporter: good morning, christi and boris. today they are giving out backpacks and $50 pre-paid debit cards. the debit cards are something they tried in the previous vaccination event that they had and they found that it was effective in a sense that they got more people arriving at that event than previously before that. so today, this morning, the event doesn't start for almost another hour. we can see there's a line of people already prepared. they have a choice to either get tested or get their vaccine. i suppose they could do both at the same time. both are being offered here. this is being billed as a back to school event. that's why they're giving out backpacks trying to encourage the school-aged children who are eligible for a vaccine to get a shot as well. but it's a good sign to see at least some people waiting here knowing that it doesn't start for another hour and as we've been mentioning, the mo

we start this morning in dekalb county, georgia. natasha chen joins us live. it's where many experts are encouraging people to roll up their sleeves by offering incentives, right, natasha? >> reporter: yeah, boris. they're giving out prepaid gift cards today in hopes more people will come to this spot at a mall and get the shot especially as school districts in this area sometimes a bit early to make up for lost instruction time during the pandemic. in many places across the country, georgia is seeing a rising 7-day average new covid cases and that has a lot of people concerned. >> america's waking up to a new day of increased covid restrictions and president biden said we're likely to see more as cases of the highly contagious delta virus spreads. >> almost 1 million people got vaccinated yesterday. >> cdc data shows the rate of new vaccinations is the highest it's been in weeks. just under half the u.s. population is fully vaccinated. the u.s. is pulling in extra help to get it approved as quickly as possible to ease the minds of those worried about vaccine

jennifer, victor is a professor of political science at georgia madison university. she says the memo show how explicit trumps efforts to overturn the election when democracy is die, they tend to not die in spectacular fashion and over some significant big event. but rather they degrade slowly over time. and so what we're seeing here is more evidence of this idea of the administration under the presidency of donald trump, having engaged in significant number of practices and behaviors that are frankly just plain anti democratic. to some extent, i think many of us suspected that this type of thing had gone on. donald trump did not accept the results of the election in november or december. and of course, there was the capital insurrection that he played some role in an effort to overturn the election results. and so his campaign of not believing in election results not wanting others to believe the election results. this, this evidence that has been presented today helps us to understand that this was very explicit from, from the beginning. really, there were clearly

january 2, 2021 he calls the secretary of state of georgia and lean on him to overturn the election. why should it shock anyone that he was calling senior justice department officials and trying to put a thumb on the scale with respect to the election? big revelation today is that the justice department is making that available to congress and that is how a function government should work. we want a president to be able to talk to his cabinet officials but we don't want him to be able to engage in misconduct. when a president does, that information should be turned over to congress. >> is there any question whether or not what trump did with the acting ag was obstruction, was wrong behavior by a president? >> there's absolutely no question about it. look, there's a long standing tradition of presidents of the united states putting in place the attorney general, obviously he nominates them, they come from his political party in all likelihood. however, there is a long tradition of distance and separation. so for instance, when i was there, working on nominations, if there were white h

georgia, for example, which is not even 39% vaccinated according to cdc data. state officials there, saying hospitalizations have risen 50% in the last two weeks. and deaths, by 18%. more companies are requiring employees to be vaccinated. disney and walmart becoming the latest today. in addition, walmart employees will, once again, be told to mask up, regardless of vaccination status. and of course, there is the president, late today, opening the door to new, federal measures. that said, not everyone's getting onboard. even with the threat to the unvaccinated becoming clearer than ever, today, florida's governor ron desantis issued an executive order blocking mask mandates in schools. blocking mask mandates, that would protect unvaccinated students against a virus that's exploding in his state. the governor saying there will be no lockdowns, school closures, restrictions, or mandates in his state. the war might have changed today but some on the battlefield have not. here to talk about it and take your questions are dr. peter hotez. author of the aptly titled

these allegations of fraud in georgia and other states. the president responded you guys may not be following the internet the way i do. again, illustrating that despite everything that the justice department was doing to try to find what the president was looking for and not finding it, that wasn't enough for the former president. he wanted the justice department to simply say those words so that then the politics could take over and this is why this is now still under investigation by these two committees on capitol hill. the oversight committee, the senate judiciary committee and the new committee that is looking into the events that led up to january 6th, erin. >> evan, thank you very much. i want to go to democratic congressman of virginia who is a member of the oversight committee that obtained and released these notes. let me just read it again. one of the notes, right? trump on this phone call says just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the republican congressman. and then they listed notes of which rep

secretary of state raffensperger in georgia. there is an effort to replace them with sycophants who will do what trump wants. >> right. and the conversation was december 27th, i believe, it was with acting attorney general rosen. why was he acting attorney general? because bill barr had quit or been fired ten days before. because he was not a shrieking violet in pushing the edge of of the envelope, knew he couldn't stay because of what he was about to be asked to do. rosen gets fired and gets replaced by a lower-level assistant attorney general who trump thought would do his bidding. mark esper, the defense secretary had been fired after the week of the election. think of this in a foreign country. the defense secretary fired a bunch of cronies. it's lucky that even though esper was gone, mark milley held the line are defense, it's lucky that deputy -- acting attorney general rosen seems to have held the line at justice, but the degree to which this was a genuine attempt by a sitting president. and he is still the leader of the

so in georgia, that fear has become a reality, just two days after starting their school year, more than 100 students at one school in atlanta are now in quarantine after nine students and five staffers tested positive. so cnn's natasha chen is following that story for us. natasha, you have some breaking news about what that school is now discussing. what have you learned? >> reporter: yeah, alisyn, just within the past hour, we got the update with the number of cases, as of this afternoon. as you mentioned, 14 total cases, more than a hundred students in quarantine. and now, the drew charter school behind us is discussing possibly having mandatory vaccination for staff. the head of school, peter mcknight, told me that about three quarters of the staff were -- are already vaccinated, but now there's discussion about whether to make that mandatory for all employees. now, of the positive test cases, only one of the staff members who tested positive was actually vaccinated. so one breakthrough case. we talked to a parent and his child who attends this school about the frustration of this ha

and now one school in georgia is considering requiring its staff to be vaccinated? how is that going to go over? that story ahead. now we're giving you even more reasons to rediscover the joy of travel. like more entertainment, food, and drink options. which means more ways to unwind and satisfy cravings. reconnect with more. listerine® cleans virtually 100%. helping to prevent gum disease and bad breath. never settle for 25%. always go for 100. bring out the bold™ i'm really nervous. i don't know what i should wear. just wear something not too crazy, remember it's a business dinner not a costume party. on a spotty network this is what she heard... just wear something crazy, remember it's a costume party. a costume party!? yes! anybody want to split a turkey leg? >>> welcome back to newsroom, everyone. i'm alisyn camerota. as coronavirus cases surge across the country, the cdc is now sharing new findings about the highly contagious delta variant. and the threat that it poses to both unvaccinated and vaccinated americans. the new data shows the delta variant cause

across the board they changed arizona, georgia, and parts of nevada. and then after that, republicans said well, we'll need voter restriction laws. that's occurring right now. not only is it occurring, but it's continuing. and we're having challenges to the supreme court. allowing people of color to vote and seeing these voter restrictions. he set the tone. he's sending dog whistles to say the number of people voting is corrupt. the republicans are saying we agree with you and need state laws to prevent it. >> elie honig, walk us through number one, i'm not a lawyer, i know this is grossly inappropriate. grossly inappropriate for the president of the united states to call the country's chief law enforcement officer and say help me lie and cheat. but walk us through the specifics of why this is such a morass. >> yeah. first, this is a closl abuse of power by the president. i think it's important we not take this for granted. we've seen plenty of evidence that the president was willing to do anything to overturn the election. here we are getting confirma

and i don't know about you guys, but here in georgia where i live, you can really see that. i mean, you really hear the stories of, oh, i know this person. i know this person. i know this person. to make matters even worse, the delta variant also seems to make you sicker. once you get it, it seems to make you sicker than previous st strains of coronavirus. people who get covid-19 are more likely to be hospitalized, more likely to be admit to the intensive care unit, more likely to die. i want to keep those words up there for a minute. if you're not sure yet if you should be vaccinated, those words should make you sure. you are more likely to die if you get the delta variant than the previous strains of coronavirus. getting vaccinated cuts the odds of you getting hospitalized or dying way, way down to a very, very, very small number. john? >> yeah. i think looking at the -- some of these graphics that we've seen from really what our public health officials at the federal level were looking at, it cuts it down to -- you have 25 times more likely to be in the hospital or to die

arkansas, louisiana, tennessee, mississippi, alabama, georgia. florida alone, now big state, number-three state, right? makes up a huge chunk of the new cases. they have been in the top five for new cases, going back to april. now, if you look, you will see that there's some toxic politics that have gone along with that. don't fauci florida and all this other stuff. and now he's anti-mask down there, the governor. i get the political play. it works with the trump fold but it's making people sick. you could say that, look, they have a big population. okay? so they're going to have bigger numbers. but the positivity is way outpacing the rest of the country. okay? which is why they have more people in the hospital than they did at any time this year. it's a scene playing out across the entire region. it's not just florida. but you have to look at where you have the most cases, and you will see the lowest percentages of vaccination. and the highest rates of transmission. okay? if you focus on that same group of states, you see, it's almost all red do

later, they said abrams noted even losing races as she did for the governor in georgia can galvanize voters and produce winners down the road, as it did in the two georgia senate runoff races this year. democrats in texas, marching for a second day that started in georgetown, texas, and is expected to end in the state capital of austin, on saturday. two of the leaders of the march, former texas congressman beto o'rourke, and bishop william barber, join me now. bishop barber, why are you marching? >> we are trying to nationalize texas, as in '65, to say we have to have federal protections of the we have to have -- end the filibuster. we have to fully pass all the provision of the true john lewis bill, the for the peoples act, the one he wrote before he died. when it's ready and written, we have to pass the restored voting rights act. we need $15 living wage. we need to protect immigrants. we've got to -- you can't litigate your way out of this. mobilize your way. i met with the texas legislators of the -- the other day through zoom. and they understand that, clearly. and what's happen

georgia's seven-day rolling average of new cases is at its highest level since early march. >> thank you very much. let's get some more on today's coronavirus developments. i want to bring in the dean of brown university. as you heard, president biden just told americans that if you are in an area with high levels of vaccination, you don't need to wear a mask. but the cdc says it depends on case rates. can you set the record straight for us? a lot of us remain confused. >> yeah, absolutely wolf. thanks for having me here. so the cdc is right. it really should be driven by local transmission or case rates in your community. the more infections you have, the higher the risk for everybody. again, mostly for the unvaccinated, but it is spilling over to the vaccinated as well. i think what the president suz probably referring to is low vaccination places are where the big outbreaks are happening. so there is a correlation there. but you have to follow the case rates, the infection numbers to make that decision. >> are you optimistic that vaccine mandates from both the president or private

one city is atlanta, georgia. shootings in atlanta have increased by 32%. last week the city shut down all public pools after a teenager was shot and killed at one of them. today they are investigating the murder of a woman and her dog inside a city park. >> it was particularly gruesome. that's how the police are describing it. she was stabbed multiple times. some local reports say she was disfigured. that's how gruesome and violent this crime was. she was walking her dog about 1:00 a.m. in the morning. when her wife couldn't reach her, she went to the park and she found her there. police looking for a suspect. they don't seem to know much at this point. we are still waiting to hear more from police. this all comes on the heels of this report on the council for criminal justice where they looked at violent crime in 22 cities. what they found is that compared to last year there's a rise in homicides. 16% rise in homicide. in 2019 there's a significant rise of 42%, of course all of this having to do with guns. they also say that gun assaults are higher this y

and those are government advice people to stay in georgia and to restrict their movement. people have been moving across the country . the larger number of infections, of course, are there for days from project on larger karachi and of those $4000.00 plus minus over $2500.00 just in that city, a loan that have got a golf for the concern because the government said that it does not have the luxury of exercising the option of closing down in diet date, and therefore it is something that is a matter of concern. we've also heard that back in june. they were less than 2020 later that renewed. but right now that are all with 3000 patients on rental acreage . and now the government is saying that there is 1000000 jap bar day. now, earlier there were the large reservation as far as many people were concerned. but because now the government has, and now it's restrictions after august the 31st people, anybody always will not be able to fly on the national carrier or any airline. also, hotels, off the law enforcement agencies. it will be mandatory for everybody to obtain a certificat

. >> in georgia, one of the states seeing more than 50% increase since just last week, only 40% of the population is fully vaccinated. the unvaccinated are prolonging this pandemic. the unvaccinated are accelerating this pandemic. the main reason the cdc says it was compelled to change its mask guidance and essentially punish the vaccinated was because of cases among unvaccinated. the surge risks a new hit to the economy. risking a smooth reopening of schools. risks the reopening of workplaces. and speaking of schools, it's risking the health of children. >> children's hospitals in arkansas reporting a record high number of children hospitalized with covid. that is the reality here. children, yes, they have been largely spared by severe covid cases, but that's clearly not the case with this delta variant. one more thing to point out here, while the reasons certainly vary for not getting the vaccine, one obvious one, a big one, is the political and consperitorial efforts by the right wing and social media. according to a new survey, 46% of republicans who most trust far right news refus

there were nearly 50,000 people in the georgia dome and billions of people watching. just think for simone biles's olympics the whole world is watching. there's not an audience there to help with the adrenaline rush. there's no family. there's no friends in the stands. so it's a lot for this young 24-year-old to take on. and let's not forget how outspoken she has been about the culture of the sport of gymnastics and how much it needs to change. she's made it it very clear that she's the only survivor of the larry nassar scandal on the floor, and that's a lot of weight for a young woman to take on. >> and even, you know -- it's even beyond that. yeah, it's beyond that because what she has to do if she messes up, it can cause really serious injury. it's easy for people to understand a physical injury. but she has a mental block happening. it's called the twisties. right? have you experienced that? can you tell us what that is like? and what she's been going through with that? >> i experienced the twisties -- i never knew it had a name until now. but in the '90s. we call

this time the georgia congressman couldn't walk away without answering. >> i want to ask you this. they were asked the question by several of our colleagues, including ms. cheney, about statements that you made saying that the january 6th violent insurrection against congress was akin to a normal tourist visit. and those officers said they weren't tourists, they were terrorists. do you stand by your statement that they were tourists? >> i would like you to quote my exact statement. not your interpretation of my statement. >> okay. watching the tv footage of those who entered the capitol and walked through statuary hall show people in an orderly fashion staying between the substantiation -- stangss and ropes, taking videos and pictures. if you didn't know the video footage was a video from january 6th, you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. those are your words. >> and i stand by that exact statement as i said it. >> okay. do you agree or disagree with the officers who spent four or five hours battling that medieval mob that had baseball bats and lead pipes and so o
