Different outlooks when it comes to the soon to be end of the presidency of donald trump. On one side theres the president s supporters, angry at the results of the National Vote count, convinced they were robbed and cheated. They demonstrated here in washington today. Then theres the president himself, publicly sigh lent, mostly out of sight today, slowing down only to wave at the pro trump protesters as they shouted in the streets. All of this happening at the same time as two major developments. The president s own officials declaring the election, quote, the most secure in american history. That comes from his department of homeland security. And an alarming spike in the deadly pandemic, 12 Straight Days now of more than 100,000 new coronavirus infections. A real World Medical emergency on a national came and at a critical time of transition when the company desperately needs solid leadership even from a president whose one term will end in a matter of weeks. Lets go to cnns jeremy diamond. President trump spent what his 301st day today as president of the United States at one of his own golf properties. This one outside washington, d. C. In Northern Virginia while still refusing to accept the Election Results or manage the coronavirus crisis. Are there any signs at all that the president first of all cl concede the election to joe biden and let the transition process officially get under way . Well, wolf, in the weeks since you announced on cnn that we had projected joe biden as the winner of the president ial election, what we have watched from President Trump is mostly him claiming victory, him insisting that this election was rigged and stolen from him. But prooifsly, our sources have told us that the president has vacillated between two different emotions. On the one hand urging his advisors to push forward and recount challenges in several of the key Battle Ground states. On the other hand, beginning to come to grips with the reality that joe biden will be the 46th president of the United States and that he, donald trump, will be a oneterm president. We saw that kind of play out over the last 24 hours, wolf. Yesterday in an event the president briefly acknowledged at least the possibility of a joe biden administration, something he had not done. Today, wolf, after he drove by some of his supporters cheering his claims of a rigged election, the president once again began making those very same claims on twitter. He seemed to be emboldened once again. This is despite the fact that Election Officials in all 50 states have made very clear that there is zero evidence of widespread voter fraud. Even government aerkts the federal Government Agencies have also made clear there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud and yet the president refusing to publicly concede this election to joefld. Sources saying they expect the president to see these legal avenues through. The question is if we do see the president acknowledge legitimaty of joe bidens election. Well get back to you. Jeremy diamond covering the president at the white house. On january 20th of this come year, the u. S. Diagnosed january 20th of this year, the u. S. Diagnosed the first case of covid19. Since then the exponential spread has been met by tireless efforts of the scientific and medical communities. There has been some progress. The death rate has dropped. Treatments have are improved for the outcome for so many patients but as case numbers continue to skyrocket, hospitalizations skyrocketing, did death toll continues toe climb. Its clear this fight is far, far from over and about potentially in the weeks and months ahead to get a whole lot worse. Cnns dr. Son jay gupta has more. New york city, the epicenter of the pandemic this spring. Code 99 could mean someone that still has a pulse, a blood pressure, but is struggling to breathe. The doctor was in the thick of it in match with few tools at that time to manage a new respiratory disease. Imagine trying to treat severe bacterial pneumonia without any antibiotics. Were relying on the machine and the patients own immune system to recover. Other hospitals overwhelmed like morristown medical in new jersey, where dr. Lewis reuben works. Our numbers went up pretty dramatic lirks pretty quickly. We quickly had 20 urnts with covid patients. Our maximum census was over 300 patients concurrently. One study found that in march 25. 6 of hospitalized covid19 case patients would end up dying. Imagine that. One in four. This is a terrible, a very terrible disease thats killing us. By june that mortality rate has dropped by more than twothirds to 7. 6 . The number of deaths has not been increasing markedly. In england, the fatality rate was around 6 and in august it was 1. 5 . One thing has become clear. If someone is infected now, they are more likely to survive than back in the spring. But why . After all, the virus itself hasnt changed. But it turns out we have. For starters, about 75 of the people hospitalized were over the age of 50 back in march. Almost 40 had at least one underlying condition. We are seeing as many centers were seeing more mature patients being impacted and having severe disease. Today more than half of all newly infected people are under the age of 50 and they are significantly less likely to get sick. But even if patients do end up in the hospital, their care is now very different. We have an expanded tool kit. Drugs like remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies to stop the virus from duplicating. Decksa meth zone used to clear clothing associated with covid19. There was a lot of discussion about ventilators and patients who went on ventilator, the mortality rate for them was approaching 50 . What was going on there . For someone whose breathing is so glad that we cant get enough oxygen in them theres no question that weve become better at being able to fake care of patients once theyve contracted covid and even if they become seriously ill. All the things weve been talking about, the issue is now theres so many patients who are contracting covid. Thats going to increase the percentage of people who need to be hospitalized. Weve seen that. Now theres close to 200,000 more people may die within the next 100 and so days. The numbers are still pretty awful. What we have to do in order to bring those numbers down in addition to the better medical care is reduce the amount of virus out there. The same basic things weve been saying for months. Masks, physical distancing, no large public gatherings, stay away from clustered up door settings. If you do these things, we can in addition to the good medical care, we can start to bring this curve down. Thank you so much, dr. Sanjay gupta. Lets discuss with dr. Jazz mean. Thank you for joining us. As you heard dr. Gupta chronicle some of the health problems. Hes a great doctor and a great journalist. Hes reported on so many health cries ease around the world, whether in haiti or elsewhere. He calls the United States of america one of the worst humanitarian crisis that hes discovered. Is he right . Hes rights. Lets think about the medical aid agency, medicine sans san frontier best known for helicoptering their doctors and nurses after theres been war or somy. That aim saegt has set up operations in the u. S. That lasted between april and october, so for seven months these humanitarians who are used to being in the same kind of places that sanjay was reported from were in florida, new york, texas. They were in the Navajo Nation and the pueblos. When msf was asked, they said its because the u. S. Health care system cannot cope with this crisis. People are dying because of those failures and also the massive inequities of black americans, hispanic and indigenous americans, that to them and many other Health Officials this is a humanitarian crisis here in the u. S. Earlier today, u. S. Southern general dr. Jerome adams was interviewed on National Public radio. Let me play this clip. Listen to this. There is no information that we have that we dont share with the American Public in general and that is not available to the biden task force. Listen to this. Heres what a member of the biden advisory told ana cabrera when she asked if access to the Public Information that is out there already is enough for the incoming biden coronavirus advisory council. Listen to this. A lot has been made public when it comes to research and studies. What information do you need access to from those agencies that isnt public . I think the most critical thing is to know in detailed fashion whats available to us in terms of countermeasures, what are the supplies, and then also where is the virus spreading and again very detailed granular fashion, understanding exactly in real time and there is some thats publicly available, but i think really having the full accounting is going to be really critical to best planning our efforts. So doctor, it sounds like a huge disconnect between dr. Adams, the Surgeon General and dr. Gandhi. What do you make of it . Information that shes saying the past four weeks is very basic information that should be rapidly made available to them. This isnt about one administration versus another, at least it shouldnt be about that. Its about protecting the American Public from this pandemic and we know the Good Public Health requires transparency. This Current Administration, the Surgeon General included, has not been transparent with the public and theyre not giving this lifesaving information to the new biden covid19 task force. Give them the data so that they can get on with their job on january 20th of next year to lift us out of this crisis. It will save potentially thousands and thousands of lives. Theres one estimate that 70,000 americans will die between now and january 20th, the date of the inauguration. 70,000 more will die and so far this Outgoing Administration is not cooperating. They havent authorized the various experts to start providing this critically important information. The advice were still hearing from the experts is what weve been hearing since way back in march. Wash your hands, wear a mask, social distance. Seems to be such simple things to do. It isnt working. So many people are ignoring that advice. What needs to be done to convince the American Public, you got to go out there and do these simple things, including especially wear a mask. Were not just dealing with a pandemic, wolf, were dealing with a miss info demic. This administration, the president himself has been identified as the single biggest driver of false information about covid19, thats according to researchers at Cornell University who analyzed 38 million english language articles about the president and covid19. This has been a massive failure, not just in dealing with the virus, but in dealing with communications and being transparents with the public. The president is sort of doing that instead of having a cohesive Pandemic Response and communicating that to the public has seeded so much distrust. The worry is that now theres politization around masks and vaccines, that will hurt next year and the year after when we do hopefully have a covid vaccine. Heres the thing. In order for us to get herd immunity we need 7 5 of americans to receive an effective vaccine. The polls show a diminishing proportion of americans saying yes, ill roll up my sleeve, ill get vaccinated. We need to deal with the infectious contagion but also the information contagion as well. Make it easy for people to understand what they need to do. Reiterate that wearing a mask can literally save your life and save other lives, too. So, so important. The president was in the rose garden speaking about operation warp speed. He could have looked into the camera and stowed tall 70 million americans who voted for him, wear a mask. It is critically important. Just do it and save lives. We didnt hear from that from the president , unfortunately. Thank you for joining us. Thank you.

Its date night in the neighborhood. President elect joe biden is in delaware this weekend continuing to plan his transition. He and his team are facing some tough roadblocks as President Trump still refuses to concede and allow the transition of power to go into feck. Jessica is joining us from wilmington, delaware. How are they working around the challenges, very significant challenges theyre facing during this transition . Well, wolf, the Transition Team will tell you they feel they are making progress. Theyve put together their covid advisor board. Theyve seen a chief of staff being named. They feel like theyre making progress in the places where they can. They say they prepared for a vast number of scenarios, including this one. Now, all of that being said, it remains that the General Services administration has yet to ascertain, validate joe biden as president elect here. So that means that the formal transition process has not been triggered, which means they dont have access to any offing the agencies that they need to be interfacing with in order to prepare for the transition in january. So when this comes to Something Like the coronavirus pandemic, they got their Advisory Board in place but theyre not able to talk with the Current White HouseCoronavirus Task force in terms of getting ready for a Vaccine Distribution plan. He said himself that as it gets further down the road, thats going to hamper the Transition Team. Weve learned that the biden Transition Team is doing some back channelling. People in the medical Community Talking about their covid plan and work with what they have. As far as National Security is concerned, president elect biden is not getting the president ial daily briefings which would keep him abreast of the day to day movements. Theyre kind of out in the dark in terms of the Daily Movement and latest information. We know that the biden Transition Team has reached out to former pentagon officials who worked under then second james mattis to get some information. They cant contact the current officials. They figure former officials are the next best thing, trying to get the lay of the land in these agencies, as you well know, transition process is a major undertaking, wolf, and right now it is being slowed down. Jessica dean reporting for us, thank you very much. Joining us, the former u. S. Ambassador to the united nations, the former National Security advisory to
