Safe is enormously important. if we do not get that message right it will absolutely hamper our response. >> vastly attenuated from previous strains of coronavirus, talk as to whether or not we need to change the whole paradigm and how we approach this. bill gates earlier said once omicron goes through a country, covid can be treated more like the seasonal flu. is it time for us to say, you know what, this thing is here to stay. we cannot continue. we need to accept that people will get sick. it...

Dont have the monoclonal antibodies. >> ainsley: you are supposed to get them early on, right? if you are high risk we dont know what it will look like have this virus for 10 days but they need it in the beginning. >> thats a really important point. you are turning into a physician. if you give the monoclonals when theyre in the hospital or when they are already have the inflammatory phase of the virus, it doesnt do anything. you need to know it right at the beginning of the diagnosis. so heres ...

With ebola and the cdc, which is a critical resource. >> its interesting to think the role of a cdc director is arguably more important they be able to community than some kind of great doctor. the world health organization said the world is at a critical juncture, variants can still emerge but said that the acute phase of the pandemic could be over by the end of the year globally. do you agree with that on the global front and in the u.s. have we passed the acute phase of the omicron variant? h...

Of the military hierarchy and more assistance for the families of those injured or killed in the violence attributed to armed troops, so they are clearly overwhelmed by these armed groups which also threaten neighbouring niger and mali, mali where similar events lead to a coup last year and a takeover by the army, while historical partner and former colonial power, france, decided to reduce the number of french troops that were in the country to fight this islamic insurgency so this instability ...

Where there will be some room, hopefully, for diplomacy to try to see if it can bear any fruit. but it will be very interesting when we finally hear some word from moscow about their response. and also, very interesting at some point ideally to hear from president putin himself who has now gone, i believe, about one month without speaking at all on this topic, leading everyone in the world including all of us here, guessing. >> right. and we know thats probably by design, right? secretary blinke...

Im sure many of the audience are wondering how long will we continue to need boosters for as we emerge out of the pandemic into what some countries are calling an endemic. look, i think the data says that we will be able to get out of the pandemic into the endemic phase. when that happens, im not sure. we still see staggering caseloads of omicron here in the united states, europe, around the world. death rates remain very high. hospital hospitalisation rates are at an all—time high today. i th...

Were in the middle of that tough phase. i hope that when we go home now and hear from our constituents and they say, you know, this is a moment like it was in 1891 when the senate filibustered voting rights and it led to 75 years in which black americans were denied the ability to vote. this is a moment like that. you have to stand up to preserve the vision of our republic. and well come back and, hopefully, have those 50 votes. so we are not giving up. >> you were on the floor tonight talking i...

So we could prepare. this virus is not giving us that opportunity. this virus is spreading really intensely. i think what is the challenge as we move into this next phase is, how do we get the balance right with the measures that are needed to reduce the spread? masks are widely available now. they were not at the beginning of the pandemic. we are asking people to be very cautious. this pandemic will end. we will not be in this cycle forever. riot police in belgium have been using water cannon a...

Explaining about the new vaccine. this week, on wednesday, we announced two big pieces of information. the first was some data published in the new england journal of medicine, looking at how our vaccine holds up against omicron after a six—month booster, and the data are good. theyre reassuring that we do see waning. the other thing we announced, as you said, is that we started our phase ii study in about 600 people, testing our omicron—specific booster, and we think thats going to be an in...

Fighters under their watch. there�*s also a concern that this much—feared jihadist group is ramping up once again. mark lobel, bbc news. the omicron variant has moved the coronavirus pandemic into a new phase and could bring it to an end in europe — that�*s according to the world health organisation. its europe director hans kluge said it was plausible the region is moving towards a �*kind of endgame�*. his colleague dr maria van kerkhove spoke to the bbc a little earlier. this is a ...
