Susan candiotti attended last nights meeting about the future of Sandy Hook Elementary School, and really what that conversation is even having on the community. First, heres what newtowns first selectman, who is kind of a mayor, essentially had to say about gun violence. I think its for many people like me who have long been an advocate of better controls over access to those kinds of weapons, this simply elevates our passion on that issue. Susan candiotti joins us now. Passion on the issue. I think thats what weave been seeing. Not only here in newtown, connecticut, but across the country. Thats right. Passions and emotions not only on gun control debate, but also about what to do about Sandy Hook Elementary School. Certainly we heard people talk about it on all sides. A lot of emotional moments as well. Touching moments. For example, one parent who recalled telling the child that she was going to a meeting to decide the future of sandy hook elementary, and the child responded why are adults deciding . Its our school. Certainly, soledad, there is time to heal, and theres a lot of time to decide what to do next. Reporter st. Rose of lima church lost nine of its youngest members at sandy hook. A vigil drew thousands that first night, and then there were the funerals. I was this far away from the families. It was palpable what they were going through. Reporter how well are people healing . Theres still a lot of pain, a lot of grief. When its going to go away, i dont know. It might not ever go away. Reporter arriving daily to ease that pain, something that astounds deacon rick sinto and fellow parishioners. Reporter its a month later. What are all these boxes doing here . These are the gifts. These are letters. These are prayer cards coming in from all over the country, all over the world. Reporter thousands of pieces of mail carefully sorted for each victim, including the shooters mother and the killer himself. What is this all a sign of . This is the world putting their arm around newtown and saying that were here for you in some way. Reporter like a huge banner that reads were with you, newtown filled with signatures hanging from an overpass. Its all the way from tucson, arizona. The site of the Gabby Giffords mass shooting. Down the street from the Elementary School a bouquet marks the spot where a makeshift memorial once stood, now dismantled, composted, preserved for a permanent memorial. In this Community People turn to each other for strength. Many with the same question. The main questions of why . Why did this happen . How did this happen . Seeking answers month one may ever have.

He is back in new york. Thanks, soledad. Today doctors are wondering when well be over the peak of this seasons flu epidemic. This map shows the latest cdc data on flu outbreaks. You can see 47 states have widespread activity. The cdc is saying that they wont know when well hit the peak of the flu activity. Some pharmacies having trouble keeping up with the demand for the flu shot. Theyre running out while they wait for manufacturers to send more as more people get the message. Really, this is one serious mru season. Dr. Lynn finelli is head of the Response Team at the cdc. Lynn, we showed that map right there. 47 states right now with widespread activity. We also said the cdc wont say when well hit the peak. What are the signs that it has peaked . Well, the signs that it has peaked is this past week we had a little bit of a decline in activity. Now, this decline in activity represents a composite of all the activity in the u. S. And it may reflect the fact that the parts of the states that were early in the season, like the southeast, are starting to decline, while other parts of the u. S. Really havent declined yet, and actually the west hasnt picked up quite a lot yet. Theyve still yet to see a lot of activity out west for flu season. 75 of parttime workers dont get paid leave. That means a lot of people who may be sick are still going to work. How does that affect the transmission of a virus like this . Well, thats hard to say. The cdc does recommend that if you are sick, stay at home. If you are sick, limit contact with other people. Lets talk about the vaccine right now. Can you still get it this late in the season . Yeah. I think if youre persistent, call your provider, call pharmacies, call your local health departments. Health departments are working with providers, with pharmacies and with drug stores i mean, with supermarkets to make sure that we maximize the number of people vaccinated. This includes sharing vaccine among providers and referring people to places where vaccine is available. One of the things we hear a lot is that this vaccine is 60 effective. Is that a high number . Well, even vaccinations that are 60 effective can confer a lot of benefit. This includes reducing the amount of serious disease, reducing hospitalizations and even deaths, including reducing antibiotic use and missed work days. The message you are send issing go get the vaccine, even if it is just 60 effective . Thats correct. Dr. Lynn finelli from the National Center for immunization and respiratory disease. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for having me. Nine minutes after the hour right now. In the u. S. Backing frances fight against terror in africa.

Something audiences didnt see happened back stage in the press room after django unchained writer and director quinton terramtino. It has come under scrutiny for its liberal use of the nword, and terrintino was candid in his response about why he used it so much. If somebody is out there saying it when it comes to the word [ bleep ], that the fact that i was using it in the movie more than it was used back in the antebellum south in 1858 in mississippi, then had he might have then feel free to make that case, but no one is actually making that case. Now, there was an audible gasp in the press room after he said that. It was a jawdropping moment. After terrintino left, don chaettle came into the room, no nword questions please, actually using the nword. I dont know what was going on back stage in the press room, but thats going to be a talker today as well. Between the terrantino moment and jody foster, a huge amount of buzz about the Golden Globes.
