Remember that half the country right now still feels that way. Please remember that. You have to find a way to live your life. You have to find a way to forgive each other. You got to find a way to find joy in your existence in spite of that feeling. This mornings eye opener is presented by progressive. Making it easy to bundle insurance. Welcome to cbs this morning. I thought dave chappelle, edgy as he always is, summed it up really nicely. I thought so. A lot of people are celebrating but a lot of people are very unhappy today. In terms of finding joy in yoyour life. The news were about to get into is about to help. Could. Could. Were very excited about this. Were closely watching president elect joe bidens plans for the country. After his victory speech over the weekend, particularly how he says hell tackle this pandemic. Hes due to announce his Coronavirus Task force today. As tony told you, well begin with breaking news on the race to develop a vaccine. The drug giant pfizer announced it has evidence that its planned Coronavirus Vaccine works. The u. S. Has reported more than 100,000 cases a day for the last five days. 585,000 in all. And were close to reaching 10 million covid cases since this pandemic began in this country. Our dr. David agus joins us to talk about the breaking news. They are saying the headline says the drug is 90 effective. That is very encouraging. What can you tell us about this. Well, the fda set a bar for 50 and 90 , so 90 reduction in symptoms of the virus and people who got the vaccine. And so this is a momentous occasion. This is the first of what will be several vaccines that will show efficacy really over the next several weeks. But were here, a long road, but the vaccine appears to have worked. Theres some more testing to be done, though, correct . Whats the time table here . Well, i mean, the testing showed it worked. The safety data, we need two months of people, majority of people in the trial to have been exposed which is any day now. So i think over the next days, the they put together their file for an emergency use authorization with the food and Drug Administration and then in december, we could have the vaccine. There are 50 million doses of this vaccine that will be available before the years end. Dr. Agus, what about distribution. If we have that 50 million, do we have the network and cold storage if thats whats required to get this to people safely . Youre always the practical one. So the answer is, yes, with pfizer. This vaccine has to be stored at minus 95 degrees fahrenheit. Pfizer made their own boxes that take about 1,000 doses, and they are shipping these boxes that have a tenday life where they can keep the vaccine cold to large hospitals where the distributions will happen. So pfizer is not part of operation warp speed on either the Clinical Trials or the distribution. They have done it on their own and they seem to have a very efficient system here in the United States to do it. The headline is certainly exciting. 90 effective. What makes this particular trial different, and are you excited about what youre hearing . Well, i think you can see in my face, i am excited. This is an rna vaccine. These are the instructions for the protein of covid19 injected in the arm and the human body makes the protein itself and an immune response is made to it. To date, there have been no serious adverse events or serious side effects related to the vaccine. Certainly this is light at the end of the tunnel. Again, this is one. There will be the astrazeneca and Moderna Vaccine over the next several weeks. Well have three vaccine candidates. My gut is all of them will have benefit, and we will have a significant supply of these by the end of the year and a lot more over the next several months. Certainly more to come but were all hoping this is the light at the end of the tunnel weve been hoping for. We are definitely hoping so. I may be practical but my heart is beating fast. Practical is not bad either. Practical sthe right approach. To the next order of business for the next president of the United States. Joe biden focused on National Unity in his acceptance speech saturday night. He has 279 electoral votes with several states left to call. President trump, meanwhile, disputes bidens win, but the president elect has already received congratulations from World Leaders and every living former u. S. President. Nikole killion is in wilmington, delaware. Good morning to you. The current administrations Coronavirus Task force meets today. That will be the first time in about 20 days. Meanwhile, president elect biden is forming his own task force. What do we know about that . Well, thats right, tony. And this is one of the first of several announcements expected this week as part of the transition. President elect biden will be briefed by his new task force. And hes also expected to discuss his plans to address the virus from expanded testing to National Mask mandate. After a celebratory weekend as the new president elect, joe biden is rolling out his covid task force. The 13member panel will be cochaired by former surgeon vernal vivek murthy, David Kessler and dr. Marcella nunezsmith Whose Research focuses on serving marginalized populations. The team also includes dr. Rick bright who filed a whistleblower complaint against the Trump Administration for its handling of the pandemic. Cbs news has also learned president elect biden is expected to issue a series of executive orders on the first day of his presidency to reverse many of President Trumps policies. They include rescinding a travel ban on several muslim majority countries, reinstating the daca program which provides protections to socalled dreamers and rejoining the World Health Organization and the paris climate agreement. After saturdays festivities, the president elect attended church on sunday and visited the grave of his late son beau. He also received a congratulatory call from former president george w. Bush who said in a statement, the American People can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair. Its integrity will be upheld and its outcome clear. While President Trump has not yet conceded, mr. Biden vowed to unite the country. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify. Who doesnt see red states and blue states. Only sees the United States. Joe biden reporter he was introduced by Vice President elect Kamala Harris. Not only is she the first woman elected Vice President , but she will also be the first black woman and woman of south asian decent to ever hold the office. While i may be the first woman in this office, i will not be the last. With the election called, the Biden Harris Team wants the General Services administration to promptly begin the formal transition process. The gsa administrator who was nominated by President Trump has not signed off on the move which would free up resources for the biden team. The agency says it has not made an ascertainment. Thank you. Even with joe bidens victory, there are still some states that have not yet been called. For more on this, lets bring in our cbs News Elections and surveys director anthony salvanto. Good morning. Good morning, anthony. So states we are still looking at, arizona, which is very tight. Joe biden has had a lead. Hes got a slight one. The president gaining some ground as more votes are counted. No projection yet in georgia. But there again, a slight edge in the counted votes for joe biden. They may be headed for a recount. North carolina, a slight edge for the president in the counted vote. Well learn more about that this week. But joe biden is over the 270 he needs at 279. Thats the electoral votes. Pennsylvania, youll recall, of course, over the weekend, putting him over the top. Nevada adding to that. And all of that based on the reports that we received from those county Elections Officials as they were tallying the ballots. He develops, he gets an insurmountable lead and that puts him ultimately over the top, anthony. Thanks, anthony. President trump, meanwhile, is rejecting any suggestion that he has lost the election. And yesterday he returned to his Virginia Golf Club where he learned on saturday that mr. Biden had been projected as the winner. The president is repeating false claims about widespread Election Fraud while his legal team is preparing more challenges to the vote count. Paula reid is at the white house for us. What more can you tell us about this court fight. Good morning. Tony, the president s personal attorneys have vowed to continue filing lawsuits even though they dont appear to have any clear path to 270 electoral votes. And they have already faced a string of court losses so far as judges keep saying that these allegations are judge not supported by evidence. I think the first lawsuit will be pennsylvania. The second either michigan or georgia. And over the course of the week we should get it all pulled together. Reporter the president s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said his client will not accept a projected defeat. At this point it would be wrong for him to concede. There is strong evidence that this was an election that, at least three or four states and possibly ten, they were stolen. Reporter theyve provided little to no evidence in court of law to support their claims. In michigan, georgia and nevada, judges have rejected lawsuits backed by the campaign saying they presented no serious evidence of widespread fraud. In pennsylvania, the Trump Campaign was able to get poll watchers a few feet closer to vote counting, but they continued to make allegations that there was not enough access. Republican senator mitt romney criticized the campaigns baseless claims of fraud. Theres just no evidence of that at this stage. Cbs news has learned the campaign is keeping a list of gop lawmakers who were not supporting the president. Some allies did offer support on sunday. At this point, we do not know who has prevailed in the election. If i were President Trump, i would take all this to court. Id fight back. Reporter all the rhetoric is increasing tensions. 60 minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker spoke with Republican Philadelphia city commissioner al schmidt who said his office, which runs the vote count, has received death threats. At the end of the day, we are counting eligible votes cast by voters. The controversy surrounding it is something i dont understand. Its people making accusations that we wouldnt count those votes or people are adding fraudulent votes or just coming up with just all sorts of crazy stuff. Accusations like you are cheating . Yes. You are manipulating the vote . Yes. Or calls to our offices reminding us that this is what the Second Amendment is for. People like us. You are getting calls like that . Yes. Thats a not so veiled death threat. Yes. For counting votes. In a democracy. Cbs news learned the Trump Campaign staffers who have been tasked with answering the phone at their voter fraud hot line have been dealing with a lot of prank calls. When you look at the margins in these key states they are clearly too wide to be overcome by a handful of court cases, but even if the president s attorneys lose every single case, they have still succeeded in riling up the president s base. Anthony . Paula, thank you. The weekend celebrations for the president elect could make it harder for his Coronavirus Task force to do its job. The White House Press secretary has called on mr. Biden to condemn the street rallies that she called superspreader events. Our lead National CorrespondentDavid Begnaud is in new york city. David, good morning. Good morning. This is the same spot we were in about 48 hours ago as thousands of people filled times square to watch the president elect speak. Almost everybody was wearing a mask, but practically no one was social distancing. The experts are saying the election has taken the eyes off of what is the most important story in this country right now, and that is the pandemic. From coast to coast and in between, tens of thousands of people celebrated. Some protested. Often Standing Shoulder to shoulder, many of them were Wearing Masks but almost no one was socially distancing. We just havent been very great about doing the important things like social isolation and Wearing Masks. Dr. Benjamin aker pointed to troubling images of massive gatherings within his state. Like the sturgis motorcycle rally back in august which hosted nearly 500,000 people. But he says with large gatherings like that and protests earlier this summer, it is hard to prove that those cause further spread of the virus. Any time you put that many people in close proximity, you do run the risk of that transmission. Reporter despite that unknown, positive cases are rising in 26 states. 41 states are seeing a rise in hospitalizations. The spread is surging particularly in the great lakes. The plains and the Mountain West regions. North dakota currently leads the nation in death rate per capita over the last 30 days. South dakota is second. And with the republican governors in both of those states refusing to issue mask mandates, families of those people who have been affected are urging action. If you go out, just take those precautions. Reporter cassies father was a beloved school administrator. He spent 30 days in a south dakota hospital. He died on october 20th. She and her mother christina say the state must do more to protect people like her father. If i could have saved my father by wearing a mask, i would have done it, and i think most people would do the same. Reporter let me tell you whats happening in el paso county, texas. The county judge declared a twoweek stayathome order. The may offer el paso and the Texas Attorney general fought the order but they lost in court. The county judge says of all the patients in the hospitals right now, 50 of them are faecinfect with the coronavirus and they now have ten trailers at the county medical examiners office. Ten because thats how much extra space they need to house the bodies that they are receiving. Gayle . I hope people in el paso are listening to that latest number. Thank you very much, david.
