Anderson Cooper 360 episodes

August 13, 2021 More than 98% of U.S. residents live in an area with “high” or “substantial Covid-19 transmission
More than 98% of U.S. residents now live in an area with a “high” or “substantial” risk of Covid-19 community transmission, up from 19% just a month ago. Meanwhile, the FDA is expecting to authorize coronavirus vaccine booster shots for some immunocompromised people. Dr. Anthony Fauci is the director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He joins AC360 to discuss the recent surge in cases and the anticipated authorization of booster shots. Plus, there are only 368 ICU beds currently available in Texas as the state faces another rise in hospitalization. Gov. Greg Abbott announced that more than 2,500 medical personnel will be deployed to hospitals around the state to help care for the increasing number of Covid-19 patients despite defying science and having issued an executive order prohibiting state governmental entities from requiring mask wearing. Beto O’Rourke is a former U.S. Congressman from Texas and he tells Anderson Cooper “this is a crisis and we need the governor to treat it as such.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he is resigning, effective in 14 days after a state investigation found he “sexually harassed multiple women and violated state law.” He’s denied the allegations.

August 10, 2021 Gov. DeSantis threatens salaries if schools mandate masks
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the state could move to withhold salaries of those who violate the ban on mask mandates in schools. Gov. DeSantis issued an executive order last month directing the state’s health and education departments to issue rules preventing the implementation of school mask mandates. Dr. Richard Besser is the former acting director of the CDC and a pediatrician. He tells Anderson Cooper the best place for children this fall is in school learning and the best way to keep that happening is to “ensure that teachers and staff are vaccinated, that parents are vaccinated and that everyone in schools is wearing masks.” Plus, sources tell CNN that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in a “fighting mood” as his closest aides and confidants spent the weekend trying to get him to resign. Christine Quinn is a former New York City Council Speaker and the president of the organization, Women in Need. She joins AC360 to discuss Cuomo’s future and says he “really has one gear, and that gear is fight.”

August 06, 2021 Biden signs bill awarding medals to Jan. 6 first responders
Senate Judiciary Committee member Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota joins Anderson to talk about honoring the Capitol Police officers with the Congressional Gold Medal for their actions on January 6th. Plus, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to claim he has evidence that China hacked U.S. voting systems and switched votes for the former president to Biden votes. Lindell is not backing down even as he faces a lawsuit from voting machine-maker Dominion alleging he's defamed the company with his false accusations. And Lindell's company is counter-suing. CNN's Drew Griffin went to Minnesota to talk to Lindell about his claims that threaten democracy. And in Tennessee, Dr. Michelle Fiscus was fired last month from her position as Director of Immunization programs for the state. She says it was after she sent a memo to medical providers informing them about a decades-old Tennessee's law that essentially says teenagers can get the vaccine without their parents' permission, in some cases. Dr. Fiscus and her husband, Brad, who's a former teacher and a school board member, join Anderson.
