Case the case count has plateaued or started to dip a little bit. on the other hand, you could go back to last september and see we were much lower and we went into the horrific winter. where are we now with vaccines more available, still some vaccine hesitancy, but when you see a baseline of cases are coming down in a week from 175 to 135, are you convinced were on a steady decline now, or are we still in an uncertain period? >> were starting to see that peak come down largely because there are...

To have escalating numbers. you mention that had we just passed the count compared to the flu pandemic. well, were still seeing more than 2,000 deaths a day and, yes, most of the deaths sadly are among the unvaccinated, but we have to remember that some of the deaths are also among the vaccinated and thats because theres such a high level of infection spilling over to the vaccine itself. >> if you look at the here and now. the case count does seem to have plateaued and maybe even has dropped a l...

Of death, you see it perhaps trickling down a little bit, a little bit. is there finally some hope that this number is come down? possibly when you look at daily case count. september 1st, 166,000 cases a day, new cases. monday it was 139,000. weve lived through this the last 15-plus months. deaths are a lagging indicator. by that i mean cases come down, hospitalizations come down and then hopefully deaths come down in a week or two after that. at that point lets bring into our conversation dr. ...

Some of the numbers driving the coronavirus crisis. if you look at the case count, theres evidence of a leveling off of covid infections. we need to be careful. on sunday, 144,316 new infections, you see back a few days, line is way up here, you see a tapering off. lets hope that continues. 144,000 yesterday, one year ago, it was 34,000. even if we have a plateau or slow tapering off, we are in a much dire situation than we were one year ago. hospitalizations per 100,000 residents in your states...

Public health crisis which is why yesterday he said i want to do more, but this is not really my problem. >> the unvaccinated overcrowd our hospitals. overrunning emergency rooms and intensive care units. my message to unvaccinated americans is this. what more is there to wait for? what more do you need to see? weve been patient but our patience is wearing thin. and your refusal has cost all of us. >> with me here in studio to share the reporting, dana bash, olivia knox at "the washington post,"...

All over the state. weve taken over testing from hospitals just to free up additional people. but weve had more people test positive than ever before. the delta variant is really aggressive. it is really dangerous. were going to see some form of this all over the country. we just really need people to get vaccinated. >> lets put what you heard from the kentucky governor there and the presidents challenge in national context. again, back to the statistics. 1 in 4 new covid cases are among our chi...

Unvaccinated for sure but that still means youve got to stay home from work for ten days. were really decimating the ranks of our health care workers in addition to stressing them out with this intense demand. >> help me understand this part. im going to drop a 10-year-old off at school tomorrow. his school is doing a fantastic job. but when i see these numbers, 1 in 4 cases among children and these numbers, the case count going up like this. we know this can be done safely. if youre vaccinated,...

Today a simply startling in a statistic. more than 40 million americans have had coronavirus. we just hit 40 million confirmed cases. take a look at it this way. thats one in eight americans. one in eight americans who have had covid-19. now, experts tell us that number is actually probably significantly higher because this is only confirmed cases. confirmed through testing. we know the testing rate especially now late into the crisis is low. 4 million of these cases have come just in the last f...
