Weekend Roundup 8/6 *UPDATE*

On the CBS News "Weekend Roundup" with host Allison Keyes, a warning from the CDC about the increasing surge in daily Covid-19 cases, which are now at the highest level since February due to the Delta variant and unvaccinated people. Some companies tell employees they must be fully vaccinated by October. Despite reports of breakthrough infections among fully vaccinated people, CBS's Dr. Jon LaPook tells Allison he sees a bright side. The BBC's Jamie Coulson has a cautionary tale about the coronavirus and young people. Schools reopened in Georgia this week; as reporters Trason Bragg and Sabrina Silva tell us, there were very different reactions to the Covid-19 mask mandates.  Africa is dealing with twin catastrophes. The WHO says Covid-19 deaths have surged by 80 percent in the past month, plus there's famine in Ethiopia. CBS News Foreign Affairs Analyst Pamela Falk explains. The Olympic games are winding down. American sprinter Allyson Felix made history by becoming the most decorated athlete in Olympic Track and Field. After an emergency C-section in 2018, Felix has become an advocate against racial disparities in maternal health care. CBS's Steve Futterman reports from Tokyo. There's an elite group of federal firefighters called Smokejumpers -- who skydive from planes. As cool as that sounds, they're having trouble filling open positions.

CBS's Jim Krasula tells us he's in jail for refusing to vacate the land, and people are now signing a petition to let him stay there. In Australia, there's a furry problem. Scott Mayman reports. Finally, In a two-part special extended Kaleidoscope, we discuss the new pandemic eviction moratorium. This past weekend, millions panicked when the original moratorium ended. Allison speaks with Ronald Leonard in Daytona Beach, who thought he might become homeless. Allison also speaks with a landlord in Washington, DC who is also a tenant, about how she has been affected by the eviction moratorium, and shares her take on the situation. After some questions over legality -- and some political scrambling -- the CDC issued a new moratorium that will run through October 3rd. The Alabama and Georgia chapters of the National Association of Realtors swiftly sued to block the new ban, saying the CDC bowed to political pressure. Now there's a race to fast track the release of 46.5-billion-dollars in rental aid meant to help both landlords and renters, which has been stalled in many states.
