Local Health Officials say 1 in every 17 chicagoans has the virus and thats why doctors across this city and the nation of trying to curb the spread to try to avoid what could be a devastating Holiday Season. I was worried after halloween. Im far more worried after thanksgiving. Reporter hospitals are bracing for a postholiday influx of Covid Patients. Dr. Meeta shah works at Rush University medical center. Well not get a reprieve because then christmas comes and then new year comes. So if were just stacking surge upon surge upon surge, i am significantly worried about that. Reporter the lobby at rush has been transformed into a covid triage area to make room in case theres a surge of patients in the coming days. And though a projected 50 million Americans Still traveled for the holiday this weekend, outside los angeles, this bumper to bumper traffic wasnt for holiday travel.

And right now my work facially family is hurting. Reporter heres why dr. Shah and so many others are concerned. One chicagoan is diagnosed with covid every minute. Adriana, thank you. Joining s ining us is dr. C gounder. She san epidemiologist and Infectious Disease expert at the nyu Grossman School of medicine and Bellevue Hospital right here in new york. Dr. Gounder, thank you for joining us. Its great to be here. You know, its no secret millions of people have traveled this week despite those warnings from Health Officials who stay home. What do you expect to see in the coming days and weeks as a result . Well, we can fully anticipate that we are going to see cases rising on top of this current surge in the next couple of weeks. Im really worried that come christmas and new years, were really going to be struggling to have people in the icus finding a bed for them in the icus. And i think, unfortunately, you have Health Care Workers who are already exhausted from months of fighting this. They themselves need a break over the holidays. And, you know, i think many of us are just really, really worried about what this is going to look like. Today is black friday, of course. You know that people love to shop. They love to shop online. But is that something that you are actually encouraging more people to do, to avoid those crowds and the possibility of exposure to covid19 . Well, look, jericka, our advice on this remains the same whether its respect to shopping or hanging out with family or whatever it is. You need to be masking. You need to be social distancing. So remaining six feet apart from other people who are not inside your household bubble, trying to be in the best ventilated spaces possible, if you are around other people. So that means ideally outdoors or if not outdoors with doors and windows open quite wide. So going to a mall and shopping in crowds is really not on the list of things that would be safe right now. Is that something, though, the Biden Administration would be advising people to stay home and shop online, knowing how many people generally go out during this time . I think our advice would be to stay away from crowds, whether its for shopping or for rallies or for music concerts, whatever it is. Really, i think staying away from crowds is really sound advice right now. Speaking of which, you know the Supreme Court recently blocked covid19 limits on churches. Do you think that that is a good thing, a bad thing . Obviously you all are maintaining that people need to stay home and not in crowds but this allows people to gather without those restrictions in new york. Well, look, im not a lawyer. I can only speak to the Public Health implications of this. I do think we have seen that churches, synagogues and other places of worship have been sites of transmission. There are ways to practice safely, to practice your religion safely. Some houses of worship have moved their services online. Others have done so outside. So, you know, i dont think it should have to be either your religion and your religious freedom versus Public Health. There are ways we can do both. You also dont like the word lockdown, but if cases continue to rise, how would you advise president elect biden to get things under control . Yeah, i think weve said repeatedly, as has the president elect and the Vice President elect that we are not entertaining another lockdown or shutdown. The way i think about this is in the spring, we had a on and off light switch which was the shutdown lockdown approach. Now that we understand the transmission better that we understand that this is predominantly a droplet, an aerosolspread virus, respiratory virus, not so much contact, and we also have a better understanding of who transmits and where. We can be a lot more specific in our restrictions. So weve moved from that on and off light switch to a dimmer switch where we can dial up and dial down restrictions. We can do so in a geographically targeted way. And so we can restrict, yes, but in a way thats less burdensome on the average person. Dr. Celine gounder, thank you for joining us. Happy holidays. You, too. The pandemic is dramatically reshaping black friday. The National Retail federation predicts Holiday Shoppers will spend more than 755 billion this year. Already this morning, stores have plenty of customers, looking for bargains. But a lot of shoppers intend to avoid the crowds.
