what's up sunshine it's time to shine
here on this March 5th I hope it's a
super Tuesday so far because in the
political world it is a literal super
Tuesday I'm Coy wire this is CNN 10 and
this is the day where more States vote
than any other date both Republicans and
Democrats casting their votes in at
least 15 states and one territory to
choose their party's Presidential
nominee the term super Tuesday is only
several decades old and originally
referred to those States voting at the
end of the primary season in June but in
the 1980s Democrats in southern states
combined their voting days to frontload
the primary process they thought this
timing would give an edge to more
moderate candidates in their party
though that goal hasn't always worked
for either party this super Tuesday
could be Nikki Haley's best chance to
challenge former president Donald Trump
for the Republican Presidential
nomination over the weekend Haley won
the GOP Primary in Washington DC her
first such win this election season
Trump has won every other primary or
caucus holding a 244 to 43 lead in the
delegate count over Haley at least
1,215 delegates are needed to win the
party's nomination now on Monday former
president Trump had a meaningful victory
at the Supreme Court the justice is
unanimously agreeing that he should
remain on the ballot in Colorado the
state previously declared that he was
ineligible to run for president because
of his alleged role in the January 6th
attack on the US Capitol building but
the Supreme Court put him back on
Colorado's ballot now for Democrats
while super Tuesday is super important
it may be less of a defining moment than
President Biden's State of the Union
Address which will be held on Thursday a
series of recent polls show voters
concerns with the current US president
the 81-year-old commander-in-chief faces
distrust in his ability to serve a
second term as well as frustration with
how his administration has handled
Global and domestic crises so the State
of the Union speech will give Biden an
opportunity to address these concerns
and reassure voters now one of the major
concerns of Voters is President Biden's
policies towards Israel and Gaza and
that's where we're going next it has
been nearly 5 months since Hamas
attacked Israel and since then Israel
has waged war on the Palestinian
territory currently us officials are
negotiating a six-week ceasefire
proposal that would allow for the
release of hostages held by Hamas and a
surge of humanitarian Aid into Gaza
progress towards a deal being reached
has been slow as both sides claim there
are sticking points holding them back in
the meantime the US began airdropping
emergency humanitarian assistance this
weekend with thousands of meals for the
war torn Gaza residents here's CNN's
Paula hancocks with details on this
emergency aid package we are expecting
more Aid air drops over Gaza in the
coming days this after what we saw
Saturday the US and the Royal Jordanian
Air Force dropping Aid along the
coastlines of Gaza now the US said that
they dropped 66 bundles that was 38,000
meals no water or medical supplies uh in
this airdrop but they say that they did
consider it successful uh as they were
monitoring the area afterwards and said
that they saw civilians come out to take
the aid and then distribute it now
Jordan and the UAE have already been
doing air drops over recent days and we
know that other countries are
considering whether this is the way to
try and get desperately needed Aid into
some of the uh the hardest hit areas of
Gaza but we are hearing from some
humanitarian Aid groups that this is not
the ideal way to to try and get the aid
in they say uh in fact one called it a
Band-Aid measure
to try and and help those desperately in
need of course once the aid lands in
Gaza there is no organized distribution
there is no control over who gets this
aid and there's no guarantee that it
will get to those who desperately need
it uh what we're hearing from
humanitarian Aid groups from the UN
agencies and and we've been hearing this
for months is that Israel needs to lift
restrictions on what gets into Gaza
restrictions at The Crossings and
restrictions of transporting the aid
around the Gaza Strip once it is inside
now one thing that all humanitarian Aid
groups agree is that a ceasefire would
allow them to get humanitarian Aid into
where it is
needed 10 second trivia what was the CDC
or Centers for Disease Control and
prevention's primary Mission when it
first began in 1946 combat malaria teach
public health workers develop good
hygiene routines or study
cancer if you said combat malaria boom
shaka laka the cdc's first name was
actually the communicable disease Center
and it established its headquarters in
Atlanta because malaria was most
prevalent in the South our next story is
about new covid-19 guidelines from the
US Centers for Disease Control and
prevention we asked CNN's chief medical
correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta to explain
these changes why they were made and
about the best ways for people to
protect themselves from the virus well
these are some of the biggest changes in
idance that we've heard from the CDC in
quite some time now and there's people
who say look this is a long time coming
other people who understandably are very
concerned about this especially people
who are more vulnerable have some sort
of pre-existing condition for example
let's take a look here previous guidance
on the left current now guidance on the
right the top line is the most
significant in the past they said day 0
to five you should stay in isolation now
they're saying stay home or away from
others if you have symptoms the reason
that's concerning for a lot of people is
because we know you can still be
contagious even if you don't have
symptoms day six and onward they say
especially if you're going to be around
vulnerable people you should wear a mask
you should think about ventilation you
should try and keep your distance now
part of the reason they're making these
changes the CDC few reasons they say
that 97% of the country now has some
degree of immunity which is probably
true between vaccination and people
who've been previously infected but keep
in mind a lot of people get infected
over and over again so if they have the
immunity doesn't seem to last very long
also if you look at hospitalizations and
debts they've gone down considerably 60%
lower for hospitalizations debts have
gone down 83% now one thing to keep in
mind is that some people say this is
sort of flufy covid we're treating this
like flu but I want to show you this
graph that we pulled that makes this
case that Co is still a lot more
concerning
than flu orange line is co go back to
2019 2020 you see the difference between
covid flu in blue and then R is red is
RSV even now most currently you see how
much more of an impact covid has overall
on hospitalizations in the last season
flu killed had about 21,000 people who
died with covid it was closer to 245,000
covid is not flu people can still spread
this
even when they're asymptomatic as I
mentioned they are more contagious they
are contagious for longer with covid
they can experience symptoms for a long
time after infection long covid and it
can cause some very serious illness in
people so I think that's the concern
that even though it's being treated more
and more CO's been treated more and more
like flu it is not flu as we get more
information about these guidelines we'll
certainly bring them to
