David, good morning to you. You know november was the deadliest month in the pandemic for the state of indiana. Now officials are worried about the spike in hayess d cases due people who traveled for thanksgiving. If you are tired about hearing about the restrictions and rules, what we should and shouldnt do, imagine the frontline workers who have been dealing it for the last eight months and havent had a break. Our nursing staff is getting fatigued at this point. This is dr. Gina huhnnke. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on frontline workers. And nationwide the flood of new coronavirus patients is showing no signs of slowing down. Hospitals in new york state are alsh gernor to announce Emergency Hospital measures.

Last night residents debated implementing a stricter mask ordinance after that state led the nation in coronavirus deaths per capita this month. Its just a mask. Wear it. This is a Public Health crisis. I dont know what else to say. Reporter the measure passed 9 to 1 but some businesses can opt out and houses of worship are exempt. In other parts of south dakota, some local leaders are taking no chances. This is a mandatory mask checkpoint set up by the Cheyenne River reservation. 1 in every 4 tests here is coming back positive. To slow the spread, the largest city was placed on a tenday lockdown. Tribal chairman Harald Frazier says the reservation has only eight hospital beds for the 12,000 people that live there. If you want to get to the nearest icu, you have to drive three hours away. Our main priority is to save our people. And just we know that if there is a vaccine, its going to be a long time coming. We as indian people, were always at the back of the bus on whatever it is. So i guess well just have to wait and see. Reporter regarding those checkpoints, the chairman was telling us, they use them for Contact Tracing to ask people, where are you going and when are you coming back because some people are leaving the reservation to go and buy food. They are coming in contact with someone who is infected and then bring that back to the reservation. One more thing before we go. The state of ohio, they have a republican governor, mike dewine. Did you hear that members of his own party have drawn up articles of impeachment against him. They say hes abusing his power for things like mask mandates and occupancy limits at businesses. Right now, ohio is at an alltime high when it comes to covid19 hospitalizations. It fieeels like he has to do something. Were going to speak to governor dewine in our next hour. Today a cdc Advisory Panel is meeting to vote on recommendations about who will get the vaccines first once theyre approved by the fda. Cbs news medical contributor, dr. David agus, joins us to discuss that. David, always good to see you. When you hear 20 million, that sounds like a big number, but its not a big number when you consider how many people need the vaccine. So who gets it first . We keep hearing the elderly or other vulnerable or frontline workers. Is it an either or situation . Do you have to choose between the two groups . Well, were going to see the end of today a recommendation by the immunization Practice Committee of the cdc. You have about 20 Million Health care workers in the United States, 3 million longterm care or nursing home residents in the United States. And you have about 20 million doses initially. And so to me, you have to even though its myself, you have to put people at the front line who are risking their life to help others, and you have to vaccinate them to enable to care for others. And when you look at the percentage of deaths in longterm care and Nursing Homes, it is dramatically high. 40 of deaths in the country are those individuals. So they are very at risk. Those two populations, i think, will be first. And then were talking about elderly. Other frontline workers. You know, people with medical issues and disabilities. But those put the numbers in the hundreds of millions who are going to require it. Over 100 Million People with medical issues and elderly in this country. So its going to be difficult that second one, but we need to get the vaccine out and hopefully it will happen soon. Looks like well have a choice between two vaccines. Which one are you recommending to the people that you care about . Well, to me, whatever vaccine you can get first, you take. There is you dont think one is better than the other . You dont think one is better than the other . No. No. I mean, there are going to be three candidates. Astrazeneca oxford, moderna and pfizer. Each one of them have merits. Each one of them, 100 , have been able to block hospitalization and block people from getting very sick with the virus. And that is the goal of the vaccine. Each one of them achieved that. Depending on where you live and what is distributed and what class you fall into, there may be one, two or three being offered at that moment. I would take what you can get at that moment. I like all three of them, which is an amazing thing to say. Im glad to hear you say it. Once you get the vaccine, how long does it last . The answer to that is we just dont know. So it lasts at least six months. When we look at the antibody levels and tcell levels its going to be at least a year. At some point youll need probably a booster, whether that be a oneyear, twoyear, or three years, we dont know. But its going to give us protection in the short term which is what we care about. Thank you dr. David agus. As the pandemic worsens, Many Americans are also facing a desperate economic plight. But congress has been at a stalemate for months over a relief bill. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Key protections for millions are due to expire by the end of the month. Is there any progress at all . Well, there is now, anthony, this Bipartisan Group of senators, about 8 to 10 of them who are trying to revive negotiations and come up with some kind of stimulus deal before the holidays. But i have to tell you, its a very tall order. Theyd have to figure out a way to bridge the gap between the 500 billion package that Senate Republicans want and the 2 trillion that House Democrats have proposed. Now on capitol hill today, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is going to testify that the pace of economic recovery since pandemic lockdowns has moderated. It has slowed. Thats why this is such a critical debate. And treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin is also going to testify. Hes going to urge congress to pass a bipartisan bill to distribute about 450 billion in unused funds from the march c. A. R. E. S. Act. Now a bill that size might include more funding for Business Loans and grants but it probably wouldnt include another round of stimulus checks or a boost in unemployment insurance. That is something that is very important to democrats. But on the senate floor yesterday, the republican leader Mitch Mcconnell urged democrats to take what they can get at this point. He argued essentially that half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. Tony . Nancy, thank you. Dr. Scott atlas, one of President Trumps coronavirus advisers, says he is resigning. Atlas, you may recall, dismissed the impact of the virus and also the need to wear masks. By the way, he has no training in infectious diseases. While members of President Trumps team are leaving, president elect joe biden plans to introduce top members of his Economic Team today. Former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen is his choice to become treasury secretary. As ed okeefe reports, shell lead a team with an unprecedented number of women. Reporter president elect joe biden will formally introduce his nominees today for key economic jobs, including janet yellen, first woman to be nominated for treasury secretary, and neera tanden, the first woman of color to be nominated to lead the office of management and budget. Tanden, head of the liberal center for American Progress think tank, is already drawing criticism from some republican lawmakers. Shes going to be radioactive. Reporter they argue shes been too critical of President Trump and gop lawmakers on twitter. Honestly, the hypocrisy is astounding. If republicans are concerned about criticism on twitter, their complaints are better directed at President Trump. Reporter tandens confirmation, along with the rest of mr. Bidens cabinet, will depend on whether or not republicans keep control of the senate after Georgias Senate runoff elections in january. As mr. Biden moves ahead with putting his cabinet together, President Trumps attempts to overturn the results of the election are blocked. Reporter wisconsin and arizona certified their results. We do elections well in arizona. The system is strong. Reporter thats Arizona Republican governor doug ducey who joins a growing list of republicans mr. Trump is lashing out against for not overturning their states legal results. On twitter, the president called on georgias republican Governor Brian Kemp to overrule georgias republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensberger who disputed mr. Trumps claims of voter fraud. There are those who are exploiting the emotions of Trump Supporters with fantastic claims, half truths, misinformation and, frankly, they are misleading the president as well, apparently. Reporter as the president continues lashing out at some republicans, there are other gop officials who still dont acknowledge that joe biden is the president elect. Some of them facing tough reelere reelections in two years. Others thinking about campaign 2024. As mr. Biden considers who might lead the pentagon, cbs news learned there are three ctop contenders. Michelle flournoy, former army fourstar general lloyd austin and former Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson. No word yet on when the president elect might make a pick. Were all waiting for that, ed. Can i ask you about the fighting with the republicans, how donald trump has turned on the people that were his allies. What do you make of that . You know all the players. People are saying his loyalty only seems to go one way. That would be one way to put it, absolutely. This is a president who was convinced hed win these states led by republican governors. That have republican lawmakers and other republican election officials. He saw that and figured those people would help him out and help him win. But he seems to forget its the American Voters who decide who wins elections. Lets always remind people. Its the voters who made this decision. Thank you, ed okeefe. The busiest atlantic Hurricane Season on record ended yesterday. But guess what . Just in time for the winter storms. In the midwest, the Winter Weather alerts are up across ohio this morning. Snow is already pounding the state and pounding is the word with up to 18 inches predicted in some areas. Errol barnett is in shaker heights, ohio, near cleveland. Look at you. I dont know if were ready for snow here in new york, but i guess we need to get ready. Whats it like . Ready or not, gayle, here it is. I see. The snow here, this has just been relentless all morning.

Out on the roads, driving is precarious, not just here in ohio but down as far south as kentucky and as far as georgia. Now here in the cleveland area, schools are closed for the day. And what does a school what does a snow day look like in the age of covid . Some schools are stopping food pickups so parents cant get food for their kids which is a real lifeline for so many people. The expectation is that 28 Million People will feel some piece of this massive winter storm system. Those who live south of lake erie, this whole thing pushes east. Now some encouraging signs weve seen around here are that there are some of the states 20,000 snow plows which we see clearing the roads. Unfortunately, we are seeing reports of some 20,000 people without electricity which could be deadly for the most vulnerable. This is already the most its expected to be the highest amount of snowfall in a single day in december in cleveland and some 15 years. The hope now is that we get on the other side of this system quickly. Anthony . Errol, thank you. Stay warm there.
