<!--The number of Covid-19 cases in children and teens is trending upwa=
rds, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The group reported mo=
re than 38,600 cases in children from July 15 to 22, more than triple what =
was being reported at the end of June. In Florida, which accounted fo=
r 20 percent of the nation's new cases earlier this month, the positivity r=
ate has jumped to 15.1 percent, according to state data. Dr. Aileen M=
arty, an infectious disease expert at Florida International University who =
advises Miami-Dade County leaders on the pandemic, said she is not surprise=
d the virus has reared its head again in her state and across the country. =
"In every case, we keep jumping the gun and behaving as if the pandem=
ic's over because case numbers are going down. And that allows the virus to=
once again, take the upper hand," Marty said. Marty's advice? Get va=
ccinated and wear masks, even for those already fully vaccinated. Som=

ays
Velasquez said her daughter, who was healthy, had not been vaccinated=
before Covid-19 attacked her body. She panned the camera to the machines s=
howing her daughter's heart rate and oxygen levels. Then, she said that whe=
n her daughter started feeling ill and couldn't breathe, the teen called on=
her mother asking for help. Velasquez said she rushed to her daughte=
r's aid without a mask, not thinking the deadly virus had already crept int=
o her home. Days later, the worried mother tested positive despite being va=
ccinated against the virus. "I most likely got it from her," said Vel=
asquez, who only suffered minor symptoms. And while she said she does=
n't know where Paulina contracted the deadly virus, she said it might have =
been at school or church. As Paulina's symptoms became more severe, h=
er mother said the teen worried about her brothers. "She wanted her brother=
s to get vaccinated," Velasquez said. The worried mother said her son=
s are in the process of getting vaccinated. Velasquez is helping coordinate=
their vaccines from her daughter's ICU room, where she now spends every ho=
ur of the day since her daughter Paulina fell ill. Velasquez panned t=
he camera to show the couch where she sleeps and the food tray where she se=
t up a computer workstation. "I came with my daughter and I'm not goi=
ng anywhere," Velasquez said. Correction: An earlier version of this =
story had the wrong name for Dr. Aileen Marty's university. Marty is an inf=
ectious disease expert at Florida International University.(CNN)It has been=
months since Covid-19 vaccines were made available to most of the US popul=
ation and things are looking much more like they did early in the pandemic:=
cases are surging, events are being postponed and restrictions are back. =
The culprit is the insufficient rate of vaccinations, and a solution m=
ay be to mandate that people take action to protect themselves and their co=
mmunity, said Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at C=
hildren's Hospital of Philadelphia and a member of the US Food and Drug Adm=
inistration's vaccine advisory committee. "We've hit a wall," Offit t=
old CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday. "We've gotten to the point where you h=
ave to compel people to do the right thing."Initial enthusiasm to get vacci=
nated dwindled and many who haven't done so express hesitancy or resistance=
to getting vaccinated. Currently, 49.3% of the US population is fully vacc=
inated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- f=
ar from the 70% to 85% that experts have estimated would be needed to slow =
or stop the spread of the virus. "There was a time we were giving 3 m=
illion doses a day. If we'd stayed that course, we could be at roughly 80% =
population immunity," Offit said. As the highly contagious Delta vari=
ant recently increased its prominence in the US, coronavirus case rates hav=
e jumped. The US averaged more than 63,600 new daily cases over the l=
ast week -- an average that's generally risen since the country hit a 2021 =
low of 11,299 daily on June 22, according to Johns Hopkins University data.=
As of Wednesday, cases have risen in all but one state in the past s=
even days compared to the week before, and cases rose at least 50% in 36 st=
ates in that time, according to Johns Hopkins. Wednesday's Washington=
Nationals MLB game against the Philadelphia Phillies was postponed after 1=
2 members of the Nationals -- four players and eight staff members -- teste=
d positive for Covid-19. The climbing case numbers have pushed some a=
reas to return to mask requirements:
? The mayor of Atlanta issued an executive order Wednesday requiring =
masks in all indoor public places. ? In Kansas, state employees and v=
isitors will be required to wear masks indoors starting Monday. ? The=
Pentagon implemented an indoor mask requirement regardless of vaccination =
status. But other leaders are pushing back against the return to pre-=
vaccine precautions. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp tweeted Wednesday that h=
e will not issue any mask mandates or lockdowns in the state. MLB gam=
e postponed due to 12 positive coronavirus tests within Washington National=
s team
MLB game postponed due to 12 positive coronavirus tests within Washin=
gton Nationals team
Georgia is one of the 35 states where new cases in the past week were=
more than 50% higher than the week prior. Currently 38.5% of the state's p=
opulation is fully vaccinated, according to the CDC. "The biggest obs=
tacle to getting more people vaccinated and the country returning to normal=
is the mixed messages from Washington, D.C., and those with partisan agend=
as. In Georgia, we have been consistent," Kemp said in his tweets. He=

Overall vaccine hesitancy has decreased during the past couple of mon=
ths, but some Republicans are more likely to refuse a Covid-19 vaccine now =
than they were in March, according to survey data published Wednesday by th=
e Public Religion Research Institute and the Interfaith Youth Core. A=
bout 46% of Republicans who most trust far-right news said they will refuse=
to get vaccinated, up from 31% who said the same in March, the survey foun=
d. However, 77% of Republicans who most trust mainstream news outlets and 6=
4% of Republicans who most trust Fox News are "vaccine accepters," accordin=
g to the survey data. Among Democrats, 85% are vaccine accepters, up =
from 73% in March, and 71% of independents are vaccine accepters, up from 5=
8% in March, according to the survey data. One motivator that might h=
elp overcome the hesitancy, some officials and experts have suggested, is v=
accine mandates. And many places have begun implementing them. The Ne=
w York State Court System announced Wednesday that all employees will have =
to undergo regular Covid-19 testing if they are not already vaccinated, acc=
ording to a statement. And the Durst Organization, one of New York City's l=
argest real estate developers, said employees who remain unvaccinated after=
