C. , which now has the highest number of test cases in the country. Michelle . We must keep our eyes open. Thank you. For the latest on the medical aspects of the coronavirus crisis, were joined now by a former Surgeon General of the United States, dr. Vivek murthy. He served during the last three years of the obama administration. Hes the author of a book with a timely topic together the healing power of Human Connection in a sometimes lonely world. That came out just last month. Dr. Murthy, welcome. Thank you so much. Its good to be with you. We are having some success in reducing the amount of cases and deaths. States are reopening and loosening restrictions, but Treatment Options are still limited, and we dont know when a vaccine will be here. So what does the next few months look like . Are we on the right path . Well, i think we have made progress over the last several months, and weve made progress on a few fronts. One is because people have made these extraordinary sacrifices to stay home, to reduce their activities and contact with others, we have been able to reduce what would have been a much, much worse peak of infections and deaths. With that said, we have still lost nearly 100,000 people to this virus, and we have well over 1. 6 million cases. That is actually still rising. We have to take that into account. We still have to be cautious. The second area where weve made progress is on vaccine development. Whale we still dont have a vaccine and likely wont until 2021, we are seeing more trials coming out with some early stage promising results that any path to reopening safely runs through testing, and this is the one place where we have to be honest with ourselves, were still struggling as a country because we still dont have enough highquality tests that are available to everyone who needs them. And that is posing a problem for workplaces that want to open and for states that want to track the infection closely. Dr. Murthy, its Dana Jacobson now. You mentioned workplaces that want to open. One of the workplaces so many people want to see open is in the sports world. I know youve consulted with the nba and dealing with some other sports organizations. When it comes to team sports, forget fans, just about getting back on the field or to the field of play, how realistic is it that we will see that in the coming months . I think it is possible for us to see sports restarted without fans because we likely wont be able to see crowds gather in sigificant numbers until we have widespread immunity in the population which essentially means until we have a vaccine. With that said, there are plans that many leagues are making to bring back the players so they can start games, and theres going to at least be televised. To do that requires a few things. One, it requires being able to test with great franconialy. What i hear frequency. What i hear from leagues and teams is theyre struggling to find out how they can get the volume of tests required to test with that frequency. Theyre also worried about what it looks like. If a team is testing its players so frequently when the people in the Community Around it are still having trouble getting testing. That is one big challenge. The other big challenge is how do you reduce the risk of players getting infected in the first place . Because we know that there is still coronavirus in our communities. Players are going out into the community, coming back, interacting with the team. If one person gets infected, youre at risk of having to shut down the entire team. Some leagues are looking at whether they should quarantine the players for the duration of play. That has implications for their families and health. These are complicated decisions. Its surmountable, and i think we will have sports in the coming months. Tests is a critical factor in terms it was availability. Testing seems to be the key to everything out there. I want to turn to your book now. It deals with how vital the Human Connection is. And right now in this time where even places are opening up, weve had so much social distancing, what is your message to people who still right now may be feeling very lonely . Well, first i want to say that lonely was a great challenge that we faced as a country long before the covid19 pandemic. And it is normal to experience loneliness throughout our lives. Its a signal our body sends that were lacking something that we need for survival which is Human Connection. What i found when i was Surgeon General, though, is loneliness was far more common than i would have imagined. We have over a fifth, over 20 of adults in the United States struggle with loneliness. And many of our children also struggle with loneliness. It affects how we perform in the workplace and school. It turns out it also has profound impacts on our health with loneliness increasing our risk for Heart Disease, for premature death, for depression and anxiety. Heres the key that loneliness is something that we can address. We can strengthen Human Connection or life, and the reason i twlowrote this book is because i wanted jefferson struggling with lobe everyone strugly with loneliness to know you are not broken, you are not alone. Many people like myself have struggled with loneliness over the years. I wanted us to recognize that social correction, if we cultivate it can improve our health and increase fulfillment. Theres simple ways to strengthen connection even in the time of covid19 when were asked to physically distance. We can put 15 minutes aside to spend with the people we love each day. We can make sure the quality of that time really counts by eliminating ditraction around us. We can look for ways to serve others, recognizing that small acts of service are powerful ways of addressing loneliness, and counterintuitively we can protect doctor dr. Murthy, im sorry to cut you off. We are out of time. It is all good advice. Obviously the book is out for people to find, as well. We wish we had a little bit more time. But we appreciate the insight. Thank you. There are also two promising developments this morning that we want to get to in the race to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. Charlie dagata has that part of the story. Reporter two frontrunners in the hunt for the vaccine both reporting great strides. The u. S. Backed Oxford University project announced its rapidly expanding human testing. The plan vaccinate 10,268 people across britain including children age 5 to 12, volunteers over 70, and Frontline Health care workers. The critical question, though, is whether the vaccine protects people. And of course, we can only address that question once enough cases have occurred in the clinical trial. Reporter heres how it works kinetic material from the coronavirus is injected into a weakened version of the common cold virus. The modified virus mimics covid19, kick starting the immune system to attack if the real covid enters the body. From the original epicenter, china, scientists using a similar vaccine method report promising results, too. In tests on 108 volunteers, Cansino Biologics said researchers identified immune responses including antibodies needed to ward off covid infection. They may be competing, but in the race to find a vaccine, even researchers say they hope theres more than one winner. For cbs this Morning Saturday, charlie dagata, london.
