Politician or a government leader. one of the things, wolf, that i think could help in a big way, and i dont know when its coming, is for the fda to finally approve some of these vaccines. right now, where theyre being used still under emergency use author author authorization. and what you hear from some people is they want the fda to finally decide, yes, these are fully approved, theyre safe, theyre effective, and we can go forward that way. >> theres some preliminary analysis, as you know, so...

All around us the signs of life interrupted by a pandemic. instructions about where we can go, who we can see, even in our own homes, how far apart we must stand, but in two weeks things could change. covid has not gone but most restrictions in england are likely to disappear. restaurants and pubs can operate normally, theatres and cinemas can fill every seat, large crowds can meet once more. the prime minister putting the emphasis on personal responsibility instead of government orders. i want ...

Everyone think twice, doubling down on reaching communities where shots are needed most. >> now we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and, oft times, door to door, literally knocking on doors. >> reporter: in indiana, dr. john woodall and his wife go door-to-door trying to answer any questions about the vaccine. >> just the mere fact of seeing the doctor thats been in the area made them feel, well, you know, if you felt like you could come to my door and knock an...

Right now, key west is in the thick of it as a storm brings heavy winds to the states southernmost point. the big fear with elsa is the punishing rain, sheets of it slamming into the ground one after another. the dire warnings the national weather service predicts the rainfall alone could force evacuations and rescues. even saying the floodwater could wash away entire homes there. the live look north and the bay region, the store looming over st. petersburg, expected to land in tampa tomorrow mo...

The united states. i take this as actually encouraging information. that these vaccines are still highly effective in terms of preventing hospitalizations, severe illness, and death. thats the reason that we vaccinated, against those. while it would be terrific if they prevent all infection, as long as were not seeing a signal that theyre losing effectiveness for hospitalizations and deaths, that can give us encouragement that if we can increase vaccination in this country, were not going to see...

Spreading. that is where most super spreading. that is where most super spreading events have occurred, in those environments. in terms of the modelling, everything is made public. the models that have been done at the start of the road map and subsequently are there for people to see. they are just models, so you have to take with caution the absolute amounts. there is uncertainty around it, but the modelling has been really quite accurate as to the timing of the onset of this wave, and we will...

In low vaccination areas. theres a second piece to this. its not only low vaccination rates but on top of that, high levels of the delta variant. right now the epidemic is probably at the worst in missouri. that two-hit model, low vaccinations and high delta seems to be the formula that really causes covid to take off. this is why its taking off in arkansas, for instance. why its taking off in wyoming. so those are the two things we have to look out for. i think what we need now is to really acc...

Day, around the rate we have seen in the last few days, there were nearly 15,000 people with covid in hospital and now there are only 1700 and england. the reason for that is the great success of the vaccine programme. vaccines are turning out to be highly effective against severe disease, over 90% effective in preventing people needing treatment in hospital. flan in preventing people needing treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know _ treatment in hospital. can you tell us? we know restri...

Because that would be not productive. i would hope so. one of the things that i think people need to understand, when you have an emergency use authorization, its usually under the context of the benefit is worth more -- clearly outstrips the risk. there are varying degrees of that. when you have a vaccine like we have now, for exam tell, the mrna vaccines, the numbers of people who receive it, the high degree of effectiveness in the real world setting is very, very clear. therefore, i would be ...

Stress that this pandemic is far from over was that it certainly wont be over by the 19th. as we predicted in the road map in february, we are seeing cases rise rapidly. there could be 50,000 cases detected per day by the 19th. and as predicted, we are seeing rising hospital admissions and we must reconcile ourselves, sadly, to more deaths from covid. in the circumstances, we must take a careful and balanced decision. there is only one reason why we can contemplate going ahead to step four in ci...
