uptick in cases because those kids, well, those childhood vaccines, they're getting to the age where those vaccines are starting to wear off. so it's no surprise that they're is seen whipping cough, but it doesn't mean the kids and their parents are not a little bit concerned. >> it's kind of increasing around >> and i don't know how about to but this right now, i think everyone should just stay home with sword. >> they sent out lots e-mails and teachers have been a fun experience that will kick off thechool. were you a little concerned at all? yes, because the school has a lot of students. and when classes has 32 kids, which has a high chance of me getting whooping cough. >> here's what you need to know. some of the symptoms include a runny nose. and of course, severe coughing. the good news is among their age group and adults. it's not fatal, but possibly fatal. 2 babies, 2 months or younger.

and the reason why is before 2 months they're not vaccinated. and if you have children and some of them being 2 months or younger, make sure that you protect those kids have a little bit of distance. the good news is it is very treatable. if you want to go to the doctors. well, after you get your drugs, you should stay home for 5 days. and if you don't want to take drugs on this and stay home, it's 21 days to be home before you return to school. >> gossett junior, the first black man to win a supporting performance in an officer and a gentleman has died at 87 years old. his role as an intimidating marine drill instructor in the 1982 film also earned him a golden globe. gossett also won an emmy for his role on the small screen as fiddler in the groundbreaking 1970, 70 1977 mini series roots about the atrocities of slavery. coming
