Nurses cross U.S. border to care for patients

Due to the pandemic, the long border between the U.S. and Canada remains closed to non-essential travel. But essential does describe the work of a small army of Canadian health care workers. Every day they cross into the U.S. to care for American patients in Michigan hospitals, and during COVID, some got infected themselves. In Canada, there's been pushback from people who fear these healthcare workers could bring the virus home. Adriana Diaz spoke with two nurses who say despite those challenges, they wouldn't have it any other way.

These advances come as the nation grapples with a rise in infections. As CBS News' Mola Lenghi reports, the outbreak in Michigan is raising concerns about how it will impact the rest of the country. Then, Dr. Mati Hlatshwayo Davis, an infectious disease physician, joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano to discuss what it will take to get numbers trending in the right direction.

He also addressed reports that some people who received COVID-19 vaccines are mistaking the side effect of swollen lymph nodes for signs of breast cancer.
