First, heres todays eye opener. Its your world in 90 seconds. We really are in a critical situation today. You must physically distance when you cannot physically distance, Everybody Needs to wear a mask. The u. S. Has now passed 11 million coronavirus cases. You think it would be a good idea if your team would be able to work with the Biden Harris Transition Team . Thats obvious. Of course, it would be better if we could start working with them. Ill help them in any ways that i can. Now, im not planning to suddenly work around the white house. No cabinet position for you .

Heaves it down field. It is caught it is caught deandre hopkins, miraculous its murray magic this mornings eye opener is presented by progressive. Making it easy to bundle insurance. Welcome to cbs this morning. Murray magic with capital letters, exclamation point. I was watching because i was waiting for 60 minutes. I didnt think that was possible to score that way. Three defenders on him. Very definition of a hail mary pass. Were going to begin with this. The pandemic is getting worse across the country, but we also have breaking news to tell you about. New hope in the fight against the coronavirus. So as you wake up in the west, were learning preliminary results show a new Coronavirus Vaccine from moderna is 94. 5 effective in phase three trials. The company has been partners with the National Institutes of health. Its not conclusive but it is very encouraging coming after last weeks good news from pfizer. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook is following this story. The moderna news was eagerly anticipated after last weeks announcement from pfizer that its Covid Vaccine was more than 90 effective. Moderna hit an even higher mark. Yesterday the Company President got the results from an independent safety board. It took my breath away and i had to catch myself. Reporter among 30,000 participants receiving the twodose mod earn vaccine, there were 95 cases of symptomatic covid. All but five in the placebo arm meaning the vaccine was 94. 5 effective. There were no reports of serious side effects. Moderna shared other hopeful news. All 11 cases of severe covid illness were in the placebo group. Both the moderna and Pfizer Vaccines target the protein. Messenger rna stimulates cells to produce harmless versions of that spike protein triggering an immune response to the virus. No current vaccine uses this technology which is built on decades of research at the nih and elsewhere. Im optimistic that everybody who wants a vaccine will have access to one by april or may of next year. The government says both vaccines will be free and both require two doses. Moderna says 28 days between shots. Pfizer three weeks. Modernas version has one major advantage. It can be transported and stored in standard freezers and refrigerators instead of the ultra cold temperatures required by the pfizer version. That should simplify Vaccine Distribution and administration. We believe our vaccine will be districted in existing infrastructure. We hope that means it will be made available like in local doctors offices that is going to be where people need it most. Moderna expects to request emergency use authorization from the fda within a few weeks. The company stes will have 20 million doses ready for use in the United States by the end of the year and another 40 million to 50 million doses per month in 2021. Anthony . Dr. Jon lapook, thank you. The vaccine news comes as a desperate time. The United States has added around a million new cases of the virus in less than a week. That brings the National Total above 11 million as daily cases rise in 49 states across the country. And with so many cases in such a short time, many hospitals are on the brink of getting overwhelmed. Carter evans is in Salt Lake City where icus are almost full. Carter, good morning to you. How much more can hospitals take there . Well, not much. And thats why doctors and nurses are pleading with people to help them get this virus under control. We spoke with one doctor who says he has patients who still dont believe the pandemic is real. Even though they are in the hospital, diagnosed with the virus right now. He says he has seen more suffering in the last month than he has in his entire career. Covid cases are pushing utahs hospitals to the brink. And things are almost certainly going to get worse, according to dr. Brandon webb. Its like watching a slowmotion train wreck. You know whats coming and it look s horrible. Thats the problem with the mathematics of this. We know whats coming. Were seeing so many cases day over day that, unless definitive steps are taken, exceeding capacity say mathematical inevitability. Many front line workers are already stretched thin by work thats physically exhausting and emotional lly draining. Like nurse katrina. Families are always looking for hope but sometimes theres just not a lot of hope to give them. Reporter grim scenes continue to unfold in el paso, texas, where county inmates were leading bodies into mobile morgue trucks over the weekend. The county judge there says using inmate label indicates the level of staff shortages. More than 200 people have died in that city from covid in the last month. With cases and hospitalizations smashing record, at least 27 states have imposed new coronavirus restrictions on businesses and gatherings in the last two weeks. On sunday in michigan, which saw at least 496 deaths from covid last week, the governor announced a threeweek freeze on Indoor Dining and inperson learning for high school and college students. If we dont take aggressive action right now, we could soon see 1,000 deaths per week here in michigan. Reporter without more targeted restrictions, Hospital Systems nationwide could be just weeks away from their breaking point, according to Infectious Disease expert Michael Osterholm. My worst sphere whfear is wh happen in other countries where people were dying on the streets. People were literally dying in the emergency room of hospitals just waiting to be seen. Thats going to start happening and well see the breadth and depth of this tragedy. The economic fallout from the pandemic is still an issue. Take a look at this line at a food bank outside of dallas. A line of cars spilling out onto the freeway as food for some 25,000 people was distributed over the weekend. Organizers say this was their largest food giveaway ever. Stunning pictures there, carter. Thank you very much. Were joined by dr. Ashish jha, dean of Brown University school of Public Health. Good morning. Thanks for being with us again. As we just heard, modernas vaccine was found to be nearly 95 effective and appears to be more easily transportable than the Pfizer Vaccine. What do you think that means for the months ahead here . Yeah, good morning. And thank you for having me on. This is very good news. We are entering the hardest time of the pandemic. I think the next two, three months are going to be awful across the country. But what the Pfizer Vaccine and the Moderna Vaccine do is give us hope that in a few months this will really start turning around. The light at the end of the tunnel just got a little bit brighter. There are any logistical challenges that concern you about distributing the vaccine . There are. First, its true the Moderna Vaccine is a little easier to transport. Theres still a lot of complicated issues. Weve got to get tens of millions of vaccines out to states, pharmacies, doctors offices. That means a lot of planning. There has not been a lot of that planning happening out of the federal government right now. Theres been. But we need a lot more of that. And we need to hand that off to the biden team who has to pick it up and run with it. Theres a lot of logistical challenges in front of us. How quickly do you think this could get us back to something even close to normal . Yeah, i think were looking at look, even if we have 10 or 20 Million People getting vaccinated over the next few months, until we get to 50 , 60 of the American Population vaccinated, and thats a vast case scenario, april, may, i think were still some ways away from something that will be the new normal. As you said, the next few months look really quite dire. How much worse do you think this can get, and what do we need to do . So, unfortunately, based on all the numbers i am seeing as of today or as of yesterday, it is going to get meaningfully worse than we are in now. The bottom line is hospitals are at capacity and they are still about to get a flood of new patients thats going to be even bigger wave of patients. So im very worried about the next month. We know what we need to do. Everybody needs to wear a mask. Avoid any kind of indoor gathering, and states have to do more on testing. If we can help states do that with some money from the federal government, i do think we can stop this from getting dramatically worse. But some of it is already built in. Michigan instituted a threeweek pause on Indoor Dining and inperson learning. Is that enough or something that needs to be wide spread . I think every state should be following michigans lead right now. Michigan is really doing what is absolutely essential. And its amazing to me that other states are not following. I suspect that this week, we are going to see a lot of other states step up and essentially put in very similar policies because were so behind the 8 ball that weve got to get going. Dr. Ashish jha, thank you for being with us this morning. Appreciate it. Thank you. In cbs news is now projecting the winner of all 50 states in the president ial election and despite joe bidens lead, 306 to 232 in Electoral College votes, President Trump still will not concede. Last night, the president tweeted, i won the election, even though hes behind by more than 4. 5 million votes. Twitter flagged trumps claim noting official sources called this election differently. A day earlier, mr. Trump saluted a rally from his motorcade as thousands of Trump Supporters claimed election fraud. Again, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, and none of the president s lawsuits have the potential to change the results, but here we are. Weijia jiang is at the white house. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, tony. And good morning to everybody. President trumps state of denial is delaying the transfer of resources and information. Joe bidens chief of staff said their scientific advisers are meeting with vaccinemakers in the coming days but said they should also be meeting with current Government Health officials. Something the white house tells cbs news is not happening. As President Trump played golf at his club in virginia on sunday, two of the top doctors on the Coronavirus Task force spoke publicly about the importance of working with the biden team. This is not a political issue. This is an issue of Public Health and saving american lives. Its almost like passing the baton in a race. You dont want to stop. And then give it to somebody. You want to just essentially keep going. And thats what transition is. Reporter president elect joe bidens chief of staff said they need to learn more about implementing a vaccine. Our experts need to talk to those people as soon as possible so Nothing Drops in this change of power were going to have on january 20th. Reporter but the white house said details about a vaccine are already available on the cdc website and said there are no plans for the task force to meet with bidens team. The west wing staff appears to be taking cues from the president who, for the first time ever, seemed to acknowledge he lost the election tweeting, he won because the election was rigged. But mr. Trump quickly backpedaled, declaring he wasnt conceding. There is no evidence the election was rigged. The campaign has filed or publicly backed nearly 20 lawsuits with little success. In pennsylvania, on sunday, the legal team dropped a major portion of its federal lawsuit over mailin ballots. Even a win in this case would not change the results. Still, President Trumps baseless claims of fraud are fueling his supporters. Mr. Trump rode through the crowds as thousands marched through the streets of washington, d. C. , on saturday. We are the majority. Reporter while the protests were largely peaceful, as the night wore on, fights broke out between Trump Supporters and counterprotesters. D. C. Police made 21 arrests and four Police Offices were injured while responding to the clashes. President trump plans to end his first term with a crackdown on china. Cbs news has learned that over the next few weeks, the Administration Promises to take what it calls historic actions to protect u. S. Interests like restricting trade and imposing more sanctions. Gayle . Weijia, thank you very much. This morning, we are sharing former president Barack Obamas first interview since president elect biden won the election. He talks to us about his deep concerns over this countrys political divide after americans went to the polls. His longawaited memoir a Promised Land comes out tomorrow. We sat down with mr. Obama for an interview that aired on cbs sunday morning. 72 Million People voted for donald trump. What does that say to you about the state of this country . Well, what it says is that we are still deeply divided. And what it says is that the power of that alternative world view thats presented in the media those voters consume has a lot of pull. Are you worried about that . Yes. Because its very hard for our democracy to function if we are operating on just completely different sets of facts. And were seeing that right now with respect to the election. We cant cooperate. We cant make good decisions. We cant function like a team. And so one of my biggest worries about our democracy Going Forward is, how do we get back to a common base line of facts. You and i can have a disagreement about climate change. Or about the criminal justice system. Or about taxes. But if you deny that the temperature on this planet is getting warmer, just say its just not true, i dont mind you saying, look, yeah, its bad, but theres not much we can do about it or our Economic Growth is more important. You cant deny the facts. And my hope is that we can find mechanisms whereby the truth, once again, is the base line around which we have political arguments. I know we keep talking about the facts. And you look at weijias piece. So shaken by weijias piece. The way that the people are protesting in the streets and the deep divide, what is happening in the country, and how its being fueled is very, very scary. Well, especially when we have a lot of bigger things to worry about right now. We should all be afraid about whats happening to this country. Thats a lot what president obama was saying. Well have more of our conversation with former president barack obama in our next hour, including his take on racism in america. It seems to be alive and well, and how his relationship with Michelle Obama changed after he weather. Much more news ahead. More than 82,000 officially blame boy scouts of america for abuse. Well tell you one of the horrifying stories. And talk to a hiker whose heart stopped 45 minutes after rescued from a mountain side. He said he has been given a second life. When your heart stops for 45 minutes, yes, i think thats accurate. Youre watching cbs this morning. Stay with us. Who have turned into their parents. Im having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. So were using a speakerphone in the store. Is that a good idea . One of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home.

Or psoriatic arthritis, littlehings can become your big moment. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not an injection or a cream. Its a pill that treats differently.
