Fully manmade is assault on science and altering cdc reports to fall in line with trumps rhetoric on the pandemic. Incorrect rhetoric. Trump putting supporters at risk with indoor rallies and now learning that the Washington Post that the president s new choice to lead is a known skeptic of Climate Crisis. We have much measure on all of this and we begin with the hurricane threat. The gulf coast is once again on edge bracing for a powerful storm. Tropical storm sally strengthened into a hurricane. Mississippi and alabamas entire coasts are under a hurricane warning. We have meteorologist Jennifer Gray whos tracking sally in the cnn Severe Weather center. Tell us about this path. It appears that it is shifting east. Yeah. A little bit east. Expected to make landfall between Southeast Louisiana and the alabama coastline. The biggest thing with this storm is going to be how long its going to sit over this coast. It is going to slow down tremendously before making landfall and dump rain along the gulf coast and winds of 90 Miles Per Hour and gusts of 115, nothing will stop this from strengthening more until it makes landfall and could see a high end category 2 at landfall. West northwest is the movement at about 7 Miles Per Hour so the outer bands already reaching the coastline despite the storm continuing to strengthen and more throughout the day today and even into the overnight hours. You can see a category 2 by tomorrow morning. It could become a category 2 adds early as this evening before making landfall anywhere say from Southeast Louisiana all the way over to the alabama coast. Anywhere in the cone could be the potential for landfall but look how long it basically sits over this area. Wednesday morning at 7 00 its still right on the coast before it starts to pick up some more forward speed to thursday and forecasting one to two feet of rain along the gulf coast and could see 10 to 20 inches of rain from the mississippi coastline through the alabama coastline so thats a lot of rain, a very different storm from laura where it was the wind and the storm surge. This will be a lot of storm surge but the rain in days to come, produces a lot of rain in a short amount of time. We still could see more than ten feet of storm surge along the Southeast Louisiana coast, five to eight feet and the storm surge will be significant, also significant will be the levee system. New orleans is incredibly vulnerability, the levees will be definitely something to watch and the pumping system, they rely on the levees and this much rain and possibly water from lake pontchartrain the levees will definitely be something to watch over the coming days and the wind is also a concern. 74 to 110mileperhour winds and new orleans, biloxi. Areas just to the north of that could get winds up to 74 Miles Per Hour and significant with the wind. Here are the current watches and warnings. Including new orleans, mobile and then in the blue and yellow the Tropical Storm warnings and watches so as this storm already approaching the coastline well still see strengthening in the next 12 to 24 hours before its official landfall. We know youll be watching for that. Thank you so much. Now the Deadly Wildfires raging out of control on the west coast, the president will soon arrive in california to meet with officials. There are nearly 100 fires burning out west, millions of acres scorched mostly in california also seen the highest death toll. 24 people there lost their lives. Ten people died in oregon where fires burned nearly a million acres. Some residents are asked to restrict water use. This is the governors blaming Climate Change for the intensity of the wildfires. Cnns Martin Savidge is live on the ground in estacada, oregon. Reporter the fires are burning in the western part of the state california border to the outskirts of portland. This is within of the small cities on the way to portland, 3,000 people and theyve been dealing with the riverside fire here since last week. This is their Fire Department here where in circumstances like this it becomes a major staging area for the fire crews coming in, quiet now because the crews are out on the fire line. The fire is burning fortunately its not burned into this community and trying to make it stay that way and the conditions are helping somewhat. Winds have died down significantly. Humidity levels have gone up. If you look at the other counties, say impacted by the beachy creek fire, an hour and a half south of portland, oregon, devastation and loss of life. Ten lives lost so far in this state but authorities are warning the public trying to get them ready that this could become a mass casualty incident as has been described as the fire and rescue crews get back boo the communities to figure out who was able to get out and who was not. 500,000 people under Evacuation Orders at one point and like 10 of the population. So people have managed to get back and see what little is left. Heres one womans reaction. Its just, you know, devastating. Devastating devastating and then to think that our neighbors back here, their house is totally untouched which is crazy. Lynn, of course, our neighbor there, nothing is left of the place but yeah. Never in a million years you think this would happen. Just totally surreal. I dont know how many tears i cried. You know . Before all this happened. I dont know whether to cry anymore. Reporter and that is the beachy creek fire. This is the riverside fire and worry they could merge. Theyre a mile apart right now and if they did it could be a mega fire burning on the outskirts again of portland. So you can see the thick smoke that is just shrouded this area and its just so toxic and acrid and the impact on health is significant. For some people with Certain Health conditions could be fatal. This is considered to be the worst air pollution in the world that is going on right now in and around the portland area and parts of oregon. Brianna . Martin, thank you so much. Bringing us that report. Actually, martin, as you were talking a little bit about some of the just this visibility that we are seeing, this is i mean, behind you, we can hardly see it appears about 100 yards behind you but this is what theyre reporting up into washington, canada, down into Northern California so you have almost the entire west coast there shrouded in this and like you said it is toxic so what does that mean Going Forward where people are they can hardly go outside. Reporter yeah. Theres two effects immediately. One is of course visibility issues which is a real problem for the Fire Fighting crews. They need to see to drive in darkness almost impossible to see and in daylight its not a lot better and takes away a great attribute which is the aviation assets. Cant fly when you cant see and then theres the other longterm health issue. What is that on a general public . Potentially millions of people. School is canceled in the portland area and other areas here in the state. And it was thought that this was going to start clearing out yesterday. Itss not happened. It is unclear when it will clear off and if people breathe this in for a long time it can damage and weaken the lungs and more susceptible to the coronavirus. So this whole thing will have a death toll that will continue to climb in ways you may not see. All right. Martin, thank you so much with that report. Any moment now joe biden will be speaking from his home state of delaware, expected to address the wildfires and the storm thats impacting the u. S. And highlight his views on why we are seeing such extreme weather e vervents and what his plans are to contrast it. President trump visiting california today and not pointing to Climate Change as the problem but denying science and blaming mismanagement for the wildfires. Just listen to what he told a rally in nevada over the weekend. Also praying for everyone throughout the west affected by the devastating wildfires. We want really farrest management. We want forest management. Cnns jessica dean is following this for us. Obviously drastically different views on the disasters. What more are we expecting to hear from the former Vice President . Reporter this race between joe biden and President Trump has really been a study in extreme contrast and this issue is a prime example of that. We are expecting former Vice President joe biden today to talk about the threat that these extreme weather events like the ones we are seeing, the fires on the west coast, are posing to americans and people all across the world. Were also expecting Vice President biden to talk about how this is caused by Climate Change. And how Climate Change must be addressed, what his plan is to do so and hand in hand with that is talking about the economic plan which would heavily invest in clean energy and both attack the Climate Crisis and also create millions of jobs in investing in that clean energy and zero car bbon emissions. This is a statement from over the weekend. Heres what he said over the weekend. The science is clear. Climate change is a threat to our way of life. President trump can try to deny that reality but the facts are undeniable. So again, a very different message than the one we have been hearing from President Trump and will hear more from joe biden any moment now. Thank you for that. More than 194,000 american lives lost so far, the country is now averaging about 35,000 new cases a day. But hospitalizations for covid dropping below 30,000 for the First Time Since late june. And then just look at all of the green there. That is nearly half of the states trending doing downward and the good news of course is not xerexpected to last. The institute of Health Metrics is noting that mask use is down and the american mobility is up. They are predicting more than 200,000 additional american deaths by the first day of 2021. And the pandemic is here to stay through the winter. The macys day parade will not be live. Today the mayor teasing viewers to expect a reinvernted parade and a region holds promising news for schools after adults and children were tested in italy researchers discovered that adults were likely to be asymptomatic carriers. Get details on this now from cnn Health Reporter jaclyn howard. Reporter what the researchers did for this study is took a close look at covid test results from 83 children and 131 adults. These children and adults were tested for covid19 because theyre admitted to a hospital in italy for reasons not relatted to the coronavirus. They showed no signs or symptoms of covid19. Heres what the researchers found. 1 of those children tested positive whereas 9 of the adults tested positie and they say based on that finding children appear to carry the virus less frequently than adults who are asymptomatic. This suggests reconsidering the role of children who are not showing symptoms as potential spreaders but more research is needed to determine whether similar findings would emerge among a Similar Group of patients. Brianna . Thank you. The president said he didnt believe nevada rules applied to him as the rally goers tell cnn why they risk their health. Another tape of the president talking to bob woodward appearing to not understand that the economy and coronavirus are connected.

We have breaking news, world east largest vaccine manufacturer saying if the doser is two doses the world wont have enough until 2024. They estimate that the world would need about 15 billion doses. Several of the current vaccines in the u. S. Given the volunteers two doses of vaccine during at least one phase of the children call trials. Bring in dr. Rodriguez to talk about this. Okay. Urge, this is twice the work, twice the resources that would be needed. What do you think about and also putt into context who are getting the information from and why thats important, doctor. First of all, it looks like almost any vaccine coming out will require two doses. All the studies show an adequate immune response it requires two doses, probably spaced a month apart. That being said, lets take what they said very carefully. They said for the whole world, for everyone in the whole world may take that much time to create the vaccine doses and may be very accurate. Im not sure who the center is in india but what we need to keep in mind is that it may not require first and foremost everyone in the world to get vaccinated to slow down or even stop this spread. It is estimated for a type of herd immunity you need to vaccinate 60 to 70 of the people so the most important thing is strategy. When the vaccine comes out, whos going to get vaccinated . People that are at highest risk of getting it, people who are at highest risk of contracting it and highest risk of spreading and then we have to look at it as a worldwide problem. What countries and areas to get it . I dont think we need to immediately worry about vaccinating the whole world. Smallpox was not eradicated in a day. We need a plan to accomplish the goal of hopefully controlling and hopefully e rad kating coronavirus. This is involved in the production process, right . So theyre raising this concern and thats an important part of this to point out. Absolutely. This is someone obviously who knows who is doing the mathematics behind it and why we need to be careful in not saying that studies are going too quickly, a lot of the manufacturers that are behind these studies are already manufacturing hundreds of thousands of doses to be ready to go at any minute so theres 30something vaccines in the world studied right now and very likely that whats going to happen is in multiple areas and countries the vaccine available there is the one thats used if found to be effective but yeah, gere again, to think this is a short range fix for this huge problem is not realistic. Well live with coronavirus in one form or another for probably many years. Wow. In the midst of this, what really is the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic we are in in this country the president headlined the first indoor rally, thousands of people jammed into this event in henderson, nevada, last night. A few people wore masks not many and certainly there was no social distancing. But people arent worried. Lets listen. This is not a dictatorship. This is a republic. And we have a right to be who we are and take whatever risks we so desire. I could cross the street and get hit by a bus tomorrow. Why do i have to wear a mask i know, i know without a doubt is not helping . I feel like thats my freedom as an american. If i catch covid my apologies. The consequences of my actions and im willing to have a good time today. Thousands of people together, already tightly packed in line. Do you feel comfortable with that . 100 because i dont buy into the [ bleep ]. Im not afraid of the health risk and we make smart decisions, we have people that we know that are higher risk and we will not be visiting them and absolutely make sure that we stay away from them. Im not a sensationalistic. I think people who are forced to wa wears a mask are sensationalistic. You want to give off the vibe of something right, being here and being patriotic rooting for my president. I havem 60 with Beautiful Skin tone. I have lungs, i was just singing God Bless America theres nothing wrong with my breathing. I can smile a mile away and i love your cologne. I dont have any of the symptoms and neither do they. I wonder, doctor, listening to that, what wow. Yeah. What do you think . I think that there is a sort of an accumulation of ignorance and misplaced bravado with people. Everybody that spoke somehow related this to patriotism which means that this virus has sort of been weaponized into us against them and what a shame that is. Another thing that is absolutely incorrect, if people were saying, hey, this is just me and it is my actions that matter, thats all that matters, i could almost respect that but its
