COVID CASES SURGE.

DAN HARRIS (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Rob, thanks, we'll come back to you in a few minutes. We're going to turn now, though, to the latest on the pandemic. 50% of the American population is now fully vaccinated according to the CDC. Even so, the country recorded 120,000 cases on Friday. That's the highest single day case total in six months. This is putting a lot of pressure on hospitals as you might imagine, and Janai is right here in Times Square with much more on that. Janai, good morning. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
