cases jumped nearly 70% in the week leading up to this rally. of course, that comes at a time, like you mentioned, when the delta variant is quickly spreading across this country and, too, when those large summer gatherings, the concerts, the festivals, and this bike rally that's expected to draw more than half a million people into these streets ind thit, co superspreader event. >> if you're a biker and you cannot make it down here to sturgess, you have missed out. >> there are two kinds of bikers, the ones that are on their way and the ones that are here. >> reporter: ceremondaniel ains the city manager of sturgess, population 7,000. >> considering the pandemic, what considerations were in

mind? >> yeah, no, that's one of the reasons we're looking at open container. >> reporter: this year, people can drink on the streets to avoid crowded bars. does the covid thing worry you at all? >> no. i haven't been worried at all. not since day one. >> reporter: vaccinated, not vaccinated? >> nope. not vaccinated and not getting vaccinated. >> reporter: the big gatherings along with county and state fair comes as schools set to reopen. in a few places, parents against masks are taking a stand. yet, covid cases in children are rising. more than 71,000 reported last week. eight states have banned districts from requiring marvegs in schools. yesterday, a judge in arkansas ruled the ban cannot be enforced, but illinois and new jersey became the latest states to mandate masks for k-12 students. >> i have to ask, why wouldn't we send our kids to school with a mask on? >> reporter: louisiana's governor has good reason to want masks. the state is ranking number one in the new delta-driven covid

surge. >> we're the number one state. that's not a distinction we want to have. and quite frankly, it's not even close. the number two state is florida. >> reporter: in fontana, california, high-tech temperature readers are rapidly checking 2,200 students a day at the high school where sandra hernandez is a senior. >> i saw other people getting vaccinated and i thought, maybe it's a good idea. >> reporter: united airlines announced yesterday, vaccines are mandatory for its employees to work indoors or onboard. and in the san francisco bay area, according to a survey just released, 43% of companies are mandating employees be vaccinated. >> reporter: this rally provides a critical economic boom for the state, for the region, as well as this town, but there are health considerations, of course. but, you know, the state vaccination rate here in south dakota is right around the national average. and there are currently only 13 covid hospitalizations here. so as you can imagine, michelle,

health officials are encouraged by those things. >> all right, mola, thank you so much. well, here to talk about issues raised by the sturgess rally and other pandemic developments is cbs news chief medical correspondent, dr. jon lapook. thanks for joining us. i wanted to start with this argument that the death and infection rates are so low, such a small percentage of our population that they don't warrant mask mandates or vaccines. isn't what's at stake here the health care system at large. doctors, staff, nurses, ppp. you were telling us it's harder now than it was a whole year ag ago. >> this last week, i have spent hours every single day answering questions from people. in a way, it easierychogicallya we sta home de anyt. weere down. now the questions are, can i go to a wedding, a restaurant, a ball game, indoor, outdoor,

masks, kids, i have a trip to iceland. >> what do you tell people? >> so big picture, a year ago from now, much better. a year ago, i was wearing a mask outdoors. now, i know if i'm distance from people outdoors, i'm fine. it's like infinite dillution out there. in terms of the nitty-gritty what you do indoors, it depend where you are and what your risk tolerance is. if you go in a place which is hot and you go indoors and you're vaccinated, remember, the advice back in may was you didn't have to wear a mask, right? back then, delta was 1%. and we thought if you did get a breakthrough infection, there wouldn't be a virus in your nose in order to spread it to someone else. now it's more than 90% delta. we know from the outbreak in provincetown, you can get a

breakthrough infection and have enough to probably spread it to other people. you have to make thedecision, with okay, where am i? if i'm at home with somebody who is immunocompromised or somebody under 12 who can't get vaccinated yet or somebody older, i could potentially get infected there and bring it back to them. so wear the mask. >> can we talk about that group? right now the largest group is vulnerable involuntarily, because they can't get the vaccine. that's kids under the angge of . when does that happen? >> we think that will happen probably some time in september. and the issue of kids -- we'ree lu evolutionary wider to protect kids. a person will go in the street and risk their life to protect a 5-year-old from getting hit by a car, who they don't know. and yet somehow we're not coming together and rowing in the same direction in order to protect kids under 12. you're right, they can't get the vaccine yet. we have to do extra steps to protect them.

>> and one of the extra steps, whether you call it a supplemental or booster shot for immunocompromised. where are we where we might see that yet? >> the fda is not waving me off t that i floated that next week we may get advice about people who were immunocompromised, whether they store get ano idhe immunocompromised, for example, you've had an organ transplant, you may not have as robust as an immune response. and we're showing that those people, in fact, probably do need to get another shot. so stay tuned. pretty quickly. >> very quickly, we've got to go, but the latest numbers show that 18% of the population will not get a vaccine under any circumstance. if 18% of the population does not get vaccinated, can covid be beat? >> absolutely. because we beat epidemics before there were vaccines. it was called getting infected, right? this is so infectious, if you don't get a vaccine, two things will happen, you will get a

vaccine or get covid. >> you may have more loss of life? >> right, more loss of life, you have people who are infect are immune and people who are vaccinated or immune. cuomo denies touching anyone inappropriately. on friday, the governor's legal team tried to punch holes in the state attorney general's report that alleges that cuomo sexually harassed 11 former and current female staffers. michael george is here with the latest on this. michael, good morning. >> reporter: jeff, kboogood mor. in just a few hours, we'll hear from the albany county sheriff about a complaint they received against governor cuomo. meanwhile, the governor, through his lawyers, is pushing back against his accusers. >> governor cuomo, already in a political firestorm could now face a criminal one. one of 11 women accusing cuomo of sexual harassment, identified as executive assistant one, filed a criminal complaint with the albany county sheriff's

office. telling cbs news and the albany times union, what he did to me was a crime. he broke the law. earlier this week, an independent investigation concluded cuomo routinely harassed women around him. the assistant claims in 2019 and 2020, the governor engaged in close and intimate hugs on multiple occasions, including one innoccident when he reached under her blouse and grabbed her breast. the governor denies the allegations. >> let me be clear. that never happened. >> reporter: on friday, cuomo's attorney attacked the investigation, calling it unfair. >> instead of acting as independent fact finders, the investigators acted as prosecutors, dgjury. >> reporter: cbs news legal expert and analyst rikki klieman says the governor will likely face a criminal prosecution. >> is it possible he could do jail time? yes, it is. is it likely? i would say, probably not.

governor cuomo would qualify as a first offender. he has no other criminal record. >> reporter: an impeachment probe has already begun in the state assembly. and members say they have the votes to impeach. a source tells cbs news cuomo has no intention of resigning. and that impeachment trial could begin in a month. we've learned at least one accuser plans to file a civil lawsuit against the governor. >> it was really interesting to watch that news conference yesterday with his attorneys. michael, thank you very much. the labor department reported on friday that employers added $943,000 jobs to their payrolls last month. that brought the nation's unemployment rate down to 5.4%. the lowest level since the start of the pandemic last year. but that still 5.7 million fewer jobs than february 2020. wall street closed higher on the stronger than expected jobs report on capitol hill. congress is expected to hold another rare saturday session

today on the infrastructure bill. with more on that, christina ra feeney joins us now. good morning. >> reporter: as infrastructure week stretches into infrastructure month, and what i've decided to call hot gravel summer, the president left nor wilmington this weekend without a bill to sign on his desk. and now it's unclear if that infrastructure measure alone will be enough. >> what is indisputable now is this. the biden plan is working. >> reporter: president biden argued yesterday the positive jobs numbers, 943,000 added last month are proof positive the country is moving in the right direction. >> once this bill passes the senate, i know that body will move toward establishing a framework for the remainder of my build back better agenda. >> reporter: that bill, of course, is the senate's $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan. o wants

senators to pass a separate, democratic multi-trillion dollar budget bill. states are already eyeing the much-needed repair funds they could get if the bill passes, including $25.3 billion to fix california highways, $537 million for bridges in texas, and $316 million for public transportation in hawaii. >> whatever you can achieve in a bipartisan way, bravo! >> reporter: on friday, speaker of the house nancy pelosi applauded the infrastructure bill's forward momentum, but was unclear if she would call the house back from summer recess without the budget bill in tow. >> we hope that it will pass soon. but at the same time, we're not going forward with leaving people behind. >> reporter: now, as you can hear behind me, probably, the white house crews have taken advantage of the president's absence to do some infrastructure of their own. we mentioned the senate is in session today. they'll hold a vote this afternoon that will show them if they get the 60 votes to move the measure along, the bill can

probably go all way. but we'll have to see what the house does and if they decide to come back for a vote on that measure alone or if they want to wait and see what happens to that larger budget bill. >> a lot of eyes on that one. christina, thank you so much. cooler air and rain could be coming to the aid of weary0 lar burning in california and a dozen other western states. rising temperatures and smoke from those fires are creating poor air quality from wyoming south to arizona. and across the upper midwest. >> good morning, everyone. get ready to sweat from coast-to-coast. as we head through the week, a heat wave will be building, especially from the mississippi river eastward. but really even just west of that into texas, look at thesis feels-like temperatures tomorrow. 105 in texas and in oklahoma. memphis, you feel like 104 degrees on monday. and then watch as the heat kind of surges north and east towards

d.c. and indianapolis, feeling like the mid-90s, as weintu typically, when you ha this heat dome you have storms on twhth htrg dist an andeer yet another heat dome is going k to build across the west coast and the rockies. that means temperatures pushing over 100 degrees once again along the west coast by wednesday, thursday, and into friday. and in the tropics, it is still quiet. the tropics is still asleep. but that is about to change. we'll have a few disturbances. we'll probably see something develop in the next couple of days. and we'll have to start paying much closer attention as we head into the next couple of weeks. >> okay, jeff, thank you very much. team usa is shining on the court and across the links as just one full day of competition remains at the summer olympics in japan. the u.s. has racked up more than a hundred medals, china a

distant second at 84 but as the most golds at 38. jamie yuccas has the latest from tokyo this morning. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. let's talk about basketball. i was in the arena and there were quite a few people in the media section rooting for france. however, they left disappointed. the outcome of the usa/france rematch was something to see as kevin durant hit the court and scored 29 points. the usa men's basketball team did it. after an embarrassing loss in the first game to france, they were able to beat them in the game that counted and win the gold. >> from the coaches to the trainers to the players, we all came in with that goal of, let's finish this thing off. >> reporter: and it's a three pete for the women's water-polo team. team usa beat spain to win the gold. they're the only team to medal in every olympic since the sport was sbrointroduced in 2000. this gold medal celebration was almost exciting as the wrestling

win itself. gable stevenson taking down his opponent in just the last few moments of the match. the 4 hurri00-meter bronze win allyson felix, her tenth, making her the most medaled female track athlete. olympic history. >> i know i wouldn't be here without those who paved the way. and just grateful for my own journey. i love the sport and it's been so good to me and i've grown up in it. so, yeah, it's very, very special to be 35 and to still be doing what i love. >> felix started in athens in 2004 and has earned medaled s every summer games since then. tom chad writes for "usa today" -- >> i think the incredible thing about allyson felix is just her longevity and her ability to adapt. she's been in the sport for so long, but she has never been somebodyhous kinof arod on th se in medal contention for the entirety of her career.

>> reporter: alix klineman is a newcomer to her sport, starting beach volleyball just four years ago, but she and veteran april ross, dubbed the a-team, won gold in two-set match against australia. one of two captains for the u.s. track and field team in tokyo, kara winger, has been chosen as the u.s. flag bearer for the closing ceremony, which of course is tomorrow night. before i go, i have to show you guys this. one of the more bizarre stories of the olympics coming out, most of the equestrian course hurdles are decorated with a distinctly japanese feel. however, there was one statue that started scaring the horses. that sumo wrestler statue was apparently so realistic lookingy badly during the qualifying round, which meant that organizers remove d it for the finals competition. >> i understand why that would have freaked them out. it freaked me out a little bit, yeah. jamie, you've been doing some great stuff there, really. if people haven't seen your

coverage, throughout, some great stories. really, really wonderful stories. >> thank you. >> great job, jamie. it is about 22 minutes after the hour right now. here's a look at the weather for your weekend. it's maintain to protect children, but a new plan by apple to keep tabs on user photos is also raising privacy concerns. we'll look at the issues involved. plus, in the headlines this summer, natural disasters apparently made worse by climate change. we'll look at the growing frequency and cost of these extreme events. and later, generations have known her for her timeless comedy and we're all learning more about legendary comedian lucille ball and her famous

for now, i'm ian lee with a look beyond this morning's headlines. california consumers could now face even higher prices for pork. it's the result of a statewide vote held back in 2018. cbs' michelle nadina report. >> the saugus cafe in california has been around since 1986, and during that time, pork products have been a staple. but bacon and other pork items could be in short supply in a few months. in 2018, california voters approved an animal welfare proposition that requires more space for breeding pigs and egg-laying chickens. the new rules will start being enforced next year.

egg producers are working to comply, but it doesn't appear most pork farms will reach the standard. >> dwight moegler runs pig hill pharmacy in iowa with his family and says the rules will cost them around $3 million in new construction and lost revenue. he says only a small fraction of farms currently can comply with the california standard. >> i am very fearful that there would be an absence of supply to meet the entire market demand. saugus cafe manager already has a lot on her plate, including a worker shortage and cost increases because of the pandemic. >> it is difficult, because we want to keep our prices affordable. but they're making it kind of impossible. >> reporter: she says the short animal of a major staple would hurt the bottom line, forcing her to raise prices or eat the losses. nischelle medina, cbs news, santa clarita, california. >> "cbs this morning saturday" will be right back.

program that has access to data, what they call hashes of the imagery. in other words, the picture reduced to a numeric formula. apple will use that numeric formula to look for things, images that match it on your device. >> reporter: if there's a match, the photos will be shown to an apple employee, verified sensitive material will then be forwarded to the national center for missing and exploited children, and the user's icloud account will be locked. the move drawing both applause and outcry on twitter. ashton kutcher tweeting, it's a major step forward in the fight to eliminate child sexual abuse material from the internet. security watchdogs concerned the new software could be exploited by hackers and foreign governments. the head of whatsapp calling this a major setback for personal privacy, tweeting, can the scanning software running on your phone be sechers have not allowed to find out. >> do you think that this could

welcome back to "cbs this morning saturday." these images are from the small town of greenville, california. this is what the same town looked like a few days later. the wildfire, just one in a series of extreme weather events from flooding in germany to wildfires in greece that have occurred over the past few months. cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff gear berardelli joins us to take a look. >> i've seen a lot of crazy weather in my career, but i

cannot remember a time when there were so many extremes in so many parts of the world simultaneously. and experts say, this is just the beginning. flash floods level thousand-year-old villages in europe. entire neighborhoods submerged in china. raging wildfires incinerate millions of acres across the mediterranean, canada, and the pacific northwest. that's just a glimpse into what's already the most extreme summer in memory. columbia university climate scientist, dr. adam sobel, has made a clear out of studying extreme weather. >> the speed and frequency and intensity of extreme events has been startling at times and a little -- more than a little scary. >> scary even for a scientist intimately familiar with decade-long predictions of escalating extremes. >> it feels like the reality is outpacing our expectations.

>> reporter: according to the u.n., global climate disasters have nearly doubled since the 1980s. and in the u.s., billion-dollar weather disasters have increased by five times. >> so as we start to go from one degree of warming to two degrees of warming to three degrees of warming, the impacts on extreme weather aren't linear. they increase even faster, don't they? >> water vapor, for example, increases exponentially with temperature. >> and extra moisture means hundred-year floods now happen every few years. in july, over 200 people were killed when two months of rain fell in just two days across western europe. >> so many people dead! >> reporter: a belgium official described the floods as one of the greatest natural disasters our country has ever known. earlier this week, monsoon mud slides wiped out a section of interstate 70 in colorado. engineers said it was unlike anything they had ever seen before. >> a lot of our infrastructure was built for the 20th century.

it's a new century, we have a new climate. are things going to have to change? >> investments in structure are going to increase or else the infrastructure will continue to be overwhelmed. >> invest is exactly what the $1 trillion infrastructure deal ames to do. with tens of billions targeted to make us resilient to coming climate catastrophes. speaking of heat, in the pacific northwest, an early summer heat wave pushed temperatures to the brink of what's physically possible, killing nearly a thousand people and setting the stage for a fierce fire season. >> reporter: take the city of litton, canada. they three days in a row broke their all-time record highs, 120 degrees, next day, 90% of the town burns. >> while we have all expected and predicted worst wildfires as a consequence of warming, how fast and how severely and how spre persistently it's happened over the last few years has been cdi.

>> reporter: the scale of this summer's fires across canada and the western u.s. are already unprecedented. from above, satellites capture stream fire behavior. fires producing their own lightning storms, igniting new fires. and on the other side of the globe, a record-shattering heat wave is fueling massive fires across the mediterranean. >> would it be safe to say that this is not just a new normal for the future, but that that new normal will continue to shift until we stop warming the planet? >> yeah, and i think that's incredibly important. this is a long-term increase and it's going to keep going as long as we keep emitting carbon dioxide. >> but for that reason, sobel says ultimately, we are in control of how bad it gets. >> we're making decisions not just for ourselves, but for generations to come. and what they'll face will be much more extreme than what we're seeing today. >> while we know that climate change will get worse before it gets better, we have new understanding to say with confidence that we can still

avoid atropcatastrophe. that's a main them of the international science report that's coming out on monday. >> what else can we expect from that report. >> there are some advances. the science has advanced, so the language has vaadvanced here. a lot of it is the connection between climate change and severe weather like that crazy heat wave we saw, and also a section on tipping points. what happens if the unfortunate -- something like, let's say an ice sheet were to collapse, what that means to us. >> there's also a report that came out this week about the gulf stream. >> this is a big report. the gulf stream basically transports all of this heat from the tropics pot polls. and it typically just kind of runs on its own. but now that greenland is beginning to melt, it's disrupting that whole circulation. we thought just a couple of years ago that if it were to collapse, it would take centuries for it to happen. but this new report says that we're seeing warning signs that

it's already becoming very unstable and there is the chance it could destabilize and collapse. and if that happens, it throws everything offkilter. it's a big deal, because about a quter of the heat on earth is redistribute d through that one current in the atlantic ocean. >> and you say we still have time? >> we do, but we're running out of time. >> people have to be willing to do something to make change. >> jeff, thank you so much. really important stuff there. recognition for a job well done comes in many ways. for some frontline workers during the pandemic, it comes as a doll. the story, straight ahead. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."
