let's turn now to the covid pandemic, california, oregon and washington state say they're no longer going to arrow school require school children to wear masks under new policies starting next week. new york is doing the same this week. leave it up to local school districts. in tonight's unifying america, spoke with four virginia moms with different views about masks in schools but all agree parenting during a pandemic is difficult. has this pandemic felt like one difficult choice after another for you? >> absolutely has. i think parents have a lot of decisions to make at this point. in addition to everything, you're also supposed to make a choice if your kid will wear a mask. >> reporter: raise your hand if you're child will still wear a mask. why?

>> it's easy, the classrooms are crowded and school buildings are not well ventilated. asked kids if they would like to wear a mask if it's option, they're like mom, of course. >> when i did tell my daughter about the mandate lifted, her first response was do i have to take off the mask, we said no, it's your choice. she said i don't feel safe taking off mask right now. >> we've been around families unmasked most of this time. child has come through well because of it in a lot of ways. he's extremely excited to not wear a mask at school. >> my oldest daughter is in a small parochial school, does not want people to see her face and doesn't want to get covid again. she's had it, doesn't want to give it to anybody else. those are reasons, but give me pause as a parent, how much she's carrying, feeling like

she's responsible for other people getting or not getting a virus. >> reporter: public spaces like restaurants and businesses have been mask optional in many places. schools have had mask mandates. we asked the moms what they thought of that. >> doesn't bother me. public school is essential public function and ties every single family in our community together. thool isnlace thon we've decided flexibility. >> to me it becomes so normal. my kids would be just as freaked out taking off seatbelt driving as taking off mask indoors. >> two years into this, things have changed dramatically. we have a widely available vaccine and high quality masks kids can wear if they choose to protect themselves. i think that things are just much different. >> reporter: you all have different opinions but can you see what you all have in common

is all trying to make the best decisions for your families? >> absolutely. these are not easy things. >> i think i'm in very different place. >> i respect and completely understand where she's coming from. >> one thing in common is amount of stress placed on parents. >> pandemic isolated all of us from each other, too. all of these conversations are not happening organically at soccer field and pta meetings and you can't have a side conversation and realize you have common ground. >> as a parent myself, we can all agree that parenting in the pandemic has been stressful and challenging. we'll see what changes in weeks ahead. >> agencies are warning of cyberthreats from russia and urging u.s. critical infrastructure defenses to be reinforced. as bill whitaker reported on "60 minutes" wouldn't take much to throw the entire country into darkness. >> reporter: the grid is a

sprawling target, there are actually three in the u.s., eastern, western and texas has its own. most of us rarely notice substations. there are 55,000 across the country, each housing transformers, the workhorses of the grid. inside those massive metal boxes, raw electricity is converted to higher or lower voltages. should a transformer explode like this one in manhattan in super storm sandy, the system is designed to trigger a localized grid preserving blackout. but if several sections of the grid go down at the same time, shutdowns can cascade like dominos. that's what set off great northeast blackout in 2003, leaving 45 million americans without power. a few months before assault on metcalf, commissioned a study to

see if a physical attack on critical transfos trigger cascading blackouts. >> it's shocking to us there are few number of stations you could take out in united states to knock out entire grid. >> reporter: entire grid? >> that's correct. >> reporter: how many to put the u.s. in blackout? >> less than 20. >> bill whitaker joins us now, just 20 substations? that's unbelievable, but your reporting is it could be less than that. >> that was from 2013 and found the number was lower, nine. taking out nine critical substations could black out the whole country. we've been told that number has not changed much, less than 20 is a fair assessment. >> what can the government or anybody do about this? >> spend money, one to increase the capacity of the high-power

transmission lines to decrease vulnerability to large-scale blackouts, that's happening with the administration's new infrastructure bill. two, invest in better security. that's not happening right now. remember, the country's 3,000 power companies are in the business of selling electricity, not national security. and last point is really important because the threat is real. just last week three white supremacists pleaded guilty to plotting to attack power grids throughout the country and had a plan to hit critical substations simultaneously to cause a massive blackout. >> scary, bill whitaker, thank you. >> of course. still ahead, alarming new report on climate change, and truck loaded with u.s. mail, look at this, plunges into icy river. vent migraines. don't take if allergic to nurtec. the most common side effects were nausea, stomach pain,
