The Delta variant is fueling the summer surge of COVID-19 in the U.S. As CBS News' Mark Strassmann reports, the country is now reporting nearly 100,000 infections daily, which is the most since February.

The COVID pandemic has amplified a growing housing crisis in the U.S. This week, the CDC issued a temporary moratorium on evictions until October 3, 2021, for families in areas with substantial or high transmission rates. This saves many families but not all. Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, join CBSN's Tanya Rivero to discuss why they feel "America is designed to have a housing crisis."
This eviction moratorium will be separate from the prior moratorium that expired over the weekend.
The White House announced a new, limited ban on evictions days after the previous ban expired. It put millions of Americans at risk of losing their homes. Nancy Cordes reports.

Senators are working to hammer out a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. A Supreme Court decision prevents the CDC from approving another eviction moratorium extension. Christina Ruffini reports.
