Cant come quick enough. Senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins center for Health Security is in pittsburgh. Good morning. Hi, thanks for having me. Youre an expert on Infectious Disease and pandemic preparedness. How do we get this under control as you see the rising cases and hospitalizations. Right now, we have a pandemic thats completely out of control. The reason it is out of control, we still dont have Public Health infrastructure to test, trace, isolate. Without that, people cant know their status. They go about their lives, infect other people. You saw the long line at dodger stadium. We cant have test lines like that. We have to test almost on a daily basis, brush our teeth, test ourselves, know what we can do that day. We cant do in november in the United States what taiwan could do in march. This is the reason we are seeing surjs. Then we have pandemic fatigue. We cant do the basics in Public Health in this country. How worried are you about thanksgiving and the pandemic . It is almost inevitable were going to see increase in cases after thanksgiving. Many people are traveling, seen pictures of crowded airports. Most people are not modifying arrangements. This is going to be a place people are going to let their guards down, well see transmission. Epidemiology, theyre not seeing people getting infected in restaurants, it is at their own dining table. We have to help people understand theres risk there, you cannot let your guard down, you have to take common sense precautions even in your own home, when inviting others from other households. New york city shut down in person learning, you wrote in an op oped in the Washington Post this was the wrong move. What do you think districts should do moving forward . It is difficult, paradoxically, children tend to be spared and dont necessarily accelerate transmission like they do influenza. Data were seeing, people when in school and classroom, thats not driving infection. It is very low. The priority has to be keeping schools open. I think we have to put more priority on education in this country than we have. You spoke to Business Insider regarding pfizer and modernas vaccine, saying theyre similar. The key will be distribution, distribution. I am curious to know what are some challenges around distribution in both cases. When it comes to the pfizer vaccine, it is something that requires storage at a very cold temperature, minus 70, thats not easy to do. That will make it harder to get it into the arms of americans. We have to think about how were going to turn this vaccine into vaccination. It will require a lot of planning in all 50 states to be sure people have access to this. Thats something were starting to do, but it has to accelerate rapidly. It will be one of the biggest Public Health challenges. Moderna doesnt require storage but still a big endeavor to mobilize that quickly. These are two dose vaccines. Thats 600 million doses. Something weve never done. We have to get it right. There will be hiccups. Until we get it in peoples arms, well still be in pandemic limbo. Arent there concerns as to who the vaccine will get to . Some rural, urban communities may not have access thats necessary . This is going to be a major issue, to ensure it is equitably distributed, that all parts of the country get it. There will be priority groups set by the cdc and advisory committee, health care workers, high risk individuals are first, then it moves to average risk individuals, but we have to make sure, especially when we talk about a vaccine that needs extreme cold storage that we have capacity to keep the vaccine in places where they dont necessarily have the freezers. There are companies, ups is building freezer farms to distribute from freezer farms the vaccines. Like i said, this will require a lot of coordination, i think it will be something that will be difficult even in the best of times. Doctor, thank you. Tomorrow on face the nation, the nations top Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci. Fourth time since the election, President Trump appeared in public, again falsely claimed he won the 2020 election. Fridays claim the latest challenge joe bidens victory. He met with michigan legislators at the white house in hopes of potentially overturning that states results. He learned that bidens win was certified after hand recount in georgia. Chip reid in washington with the latest on all this. Good morning. Good morning. President trump is having little success in desperate attempts to overturn results of the 2020 election, but still showing no signs of conceding anytime soon. I won by the way, you know, find that out. Almost 74 million votes. In just his fourth public appearance since the election, President Trump pressed on. We had big pharma against us, the media against us, big tech against us. Mr. Trump also met with two republican michigan lawmakers at the white house to discuss the Election Results in the wolverine state, but both agreed theres no path to victory for the president. In a statement they said michigans certification process should be a deliberate process, free from threats and intimidation, adding candidates that win the most votes win elections and michigans electoral votes. Late last night, michigans naacp sued President Trump for attempts to disenfranchise voters. I believe the numbers represented today are correct. Down south, president elect joe biden won georgias recount and solidified that states 16 electoral votes, further weakening President Trumps path to election reversal. Intelligence Committee Chairman adam schiff was critical of his republican colleagues who seem wary of challenging the president s refusal to concede. If they dont put an end to it now, theyll never find courage to stand up to him, theyll never reclaim their party. Meanwhile, the administrations confirmed coronavirus cases continue to grow. Rudy giulianis son andrew, Top White House aide with close contact to the president and at least four other aides tested positive for covid19 this week. Donald trump jr. Tested positive for covid, too. With arise in cases this fall, dr. Anthony fauci warns americans to be cautious over the thanksgiving holiday. Pause for a moment and do a determination of the risk benefit within your family group. Then when you make your decision, thats your decision. No one is forcing anything on you. President trump participates in virtual g 20 summit at the white house this morning. Cbs news learned the president expressed interest in meeting with Pennsylvania State legislators at the white house, too. President elect bidens victory in his home state solidified the projected victory. The state has until monday to certify the vote totals. Dana . No slow down with the holidays. Thank you. In another modern sign that a new president ial administration is coming in, twitter is announcing official account of the president of the United States will change hands to joe biden january 20th. The potus handle is an official government account, used to retweet messages from President Trumps personal twitter account. Other official accounts for the Vice President , first lady, and white house will also be turned over to the biden administration. Ed okeefe is following the transition from wilmington, delaware. Twitter is one thing, but the official transition is obviously still being held up. Reporter sure is, dana. Good morning. There are 60 days to go until inauguration day, president elect biden and his team still dont have full access to federal agencies to get a sense how theyre fighting covid19 or dealing with National Security issues. And what congress may do to provide relief to millions of americans reeling from the pandemic. On his 78th birthday, president elect biden met with two congressional leaders he will partner with. My oval office, me casa, you casa. But theres growing frustration as the Trump Administration blocks access to federal agencies and resources. I think it is totally irresponsible. Now, top House Democrats demand head of the General ServicesAdministration Emily Murphy brief by monday why she hasnt declared mr. Biden the winner and allowed the transition to begin. They wrote it is having grave effects and undermining orderly transfer of power. Delays or issues with transition could cost lives in the pandemic that could make us less prepared to respond to natural disasters, could delay distribution of vaccines. Thats why this is dangerous. Tennessee republican senator Lamar Alexander urged the white house to provide the biden team all access necessary so both sides are ready day one. For now, mr. Biden counts on democrats before he gets in office specifically on legislation to address the pandemic. One big obstacle in the way, in the senate, mitch mcconnell, the other obstacle, thats President Trump. New congress is sporn in january 3rd. What about it being passed before january 3rd . Theyre pushing to get the bill passed earlier in the summer through the senate, nothing is moving. There are no serious conversations under way between democrats and republicans about doing something before they break for Christmas Holiday and start a new congressional session next year. The biden team is waiting to see can they get something done before christmas that makes it easier for them to move to other things. If they dont, they know issue number one once they take over late january would be pushing through major relief package that would deal with aid to schools, cities, states, extending Unemployment Benefits perhaps, extending eviction moratoriums, Student Loan Debt relief as well to help americans out of work. You mention in your piece Lamar Alexander broke from most republicans and is urging the white house to start the transition process. Sort of two questions. Does biden camp need more republicans on board and start speaking out, regardless, are there things the biden camp can do to start this differently . They would tell you wouldnt hurt to have more republicans speak out, especially some in washington next year. Lamar alexander while he spoke out is retiring. He will be gone after january 3rd. Thats the frustration democrats have. It is just mitt romney, retiring republicans or former republican officials. Why arent we hearing more from people in power. The problem is theyre trying to read what are the potential effects of criticizing the president on their own political future. Beyond that, the Biden Transition Team could if they want to take legal action. The president elect said this week he doesnt want to do that, all options remain on the table. Despite the stalling, president elect biden is moving forward with some cabinet picks. What more can you tell us about that . Reporter he said that just before or just after thanksgiving, how is that for when is it going to happen answer, he will name treasury secretary who he says is someone that will be liked by all aspects of the democratic party. Thats important. Theres been a bit of ideological tussle among democrats, what kind of democrat, more progressive, more moderate, should lead Treasury Department to sort out economic recovery and domestic priorities. Beyond that, National Security picks, his former National Security adviser when he was Vice President , could be secretary of state, former National Security adviser susan rice is in the mix, so is former biden rival pete buttigieg. He is among those being considered for United Nations ambassador. Over at the justice department, sally yates who served as number tw
