New cases now averaging 167,000 a day and the lines for testing, of course, americans hoping to get a negative test before the holiday. The authorities warn against a faust sense of security. Theres also news coming in on that third vaccine. What you need to know about this one so well begin with abcs Victor Oquendo in miami.

Reporter despite those urgent pleas, sunday saw the most travelers pass through tsa checkpoints since the pandemic began. More than 3 million this weekend. With the increased demand for testing like here at this site on miami beach, one of the largest labs in the country is now warning people to expect longer turnaround times, asking only those who have been exposed or showing symptoms to get tested. The nation facing 167,000 new case on average every day. The aragonez family from arlington, texas, knows how quickly the virus can spread begging americans to keep their holiday gatherings small in this psa. A few weeks ago, i had family over at my house for some cake for my wifes birthday. I didnt think anything bad would happen. Reporter but it did. Now im fighting coronavirus. We have covid19.

Reporter people hoping for the clean bill of health ahead of the holiday. A negative test could create a false sense of security and that a negative test is not a green light to travel. David. All right, Victor Oquendo in a very busy Miami International airport tonight. Victor, thank you. That of the news on the third vaccine that i mentioned at the top. Nearing the finish line, oxfords vaccine is called highly effective and bob woodruff is right there with the general in charge of operation warp speed asking how soon after the fdas emergency use authorization will these first vaccines go out . Heres tom llamas. Reporter tonight what could be widespread progress in the fight against the coronavirus. Astrazeneca and oxford says early results show its vaccine could be up to 90 effective without any serious safety issues. Thats good news. What that tells us now that this is the third vaccine that we have that has given a very high degree of efficacy. Reporter scientists testing different dosing found the vaccine was 90 effective when volunteers got a half a dose followed by a full dose a month later. A conclusion researchers discovered after they gave some volunteers only half a dose, later learning the vaccine was more effective that way. If you can start with half the dose, we will have more vaccine available, and we can start vaccinating a larger group of people around the world. Reporter astrazenecas vaccine is more affordable to produce and doesnt need to be stored in extreme cold like pfizers. You can store it in the fridge just like you store the rest of your groceries. Reporter this all comes after pfizer and moderna reported their vaccines were found to be up to 95 effective. Pfizer could get emergency use authorization from the fda immediately following a public hearing on december 10th. Our bob woodruff today with the general in charge of distribution for operation warp speed asking him how long before the First Americans get this after the greenlight from the fda. 24 hours later, vaccines are on the street, right . 24 hours is all its gonna take . Yep. Reporter in the beginning there wont be a choice of which vaccine. Whichever is approved first goes out first. If pfizer is first, ill call pfizer, and theyll begin distributing vaccines. It will go to 64 jurisdictions simultaneously, 50 states, 8 territories and 6 metropolitan cities. That was really encouraging to hear and, tom, getting new information about the time line for these first vaccines . Reporter thats right, david. We have new reporting tonight. The secretary of health and Human Services tells our bob woodward both moderna and pfizer, 40 million doses will be from those companies and that the astrazeneca news is obviously very promising. He also points out its being made right here in the u. S. So once its approved, david, it will be ready. Tom llamas and our thanks to you and bob woodruff reporting. Now to that developing headline out of washington at this hour, nearly three weeks after the election now, the transition officially begins from President Trump to president elect joe biden. The new message from the gsa, the agency that typically first signals the official transition. Heres our chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl tonight. Reporter today, michigan made it official, certifying joe biden as the states winner. Slamming the door shut on President Trumps frantic efforts, including summoning republican state legislators to the white house on friday to reverse an election in a state that biden won by over 150,000 votes. Georgia has already certified biden as the winner, and pennsylvania today moved closer to doing the same as pennsylvanias republican senator accused the president of undermining american values. The idea that a sitting president would try to, i dont know, pressure, cajole, persuade state legislators to dismiss the will of their voters and select their own group of electors and send them to the Electoral College is completely inconsistent with any kind of truly democratic society. Reporter but the president is still begging his supporters for money, more than 350 emails sent since the election saying, quote, i concede nothing. Pathway to victory is clear. Were making huge progress. But read the fine print. Most of the money isnt going to his legal fund. Its going to his political organization. In the courts everything is going bust. The trump team and its allies have suffered some 30 losses. The president s lawyers are under fire after that embarrassing press Conference Last Week where Attorney Sidney Powell floated a bizarre Conspiracy Theory she said was hatched by venezuelan dictator hugo chavez, who has been dead for seven years. What we are really dealing with here and uncovering more by the day is the massive influence of communist money through venezuela. Reporter it was all too much even for Rudy Giuliani who put out a statement saying, she is not a member of the trump legal team. But thats her right next to him at the press conference. Im in charge of this investigation with sidney and the people that you see here. Reporter trump ally Chris Christie said its time for the president to pack it in. The conduct of the president s legal team has been a national embarrassment. Reporter a growing chorus of republican senators is now urging the president to start the transition to a Biden Administration. I frankly do think its time to well, its past time to start a transition to at least cooperate with the transition. Reporter as for the president , hes played golf six times since the election, but for the most part he has stayed out of sight. He did attend a virtual g20 summit over the weekend, but left early before a session on covid19 opting instead for another round of golf. All right, so lets get right to Jonathan Karl live in washington. For folks at home the election was three weeks ago tomorrow and that news just as we came on that the Trump Administration now officially moving to begin the transition. Reporter this is emily murphy, the head of the General Services administration and she has finally sent a long awaited letter to joe biden that makes the First Step Towards a Biden Administration by freeing up resources for the transition. This is the first acknowledgement, david, that we have seen from anywhere in the Trump Administration of bidens status as the president elect. Now, more significantly, though, it looks like the president himself has signed off on this move in a series of tweets that have just crossed, he says he will continue to fight his legal challenges but then he adds, nevertheless, in the best interest of our country i am recommending that emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols and have told my team to do the same. That last part seems to suggest he will finally offer those Intelligence Briefings to the biden team and also coordination with the Coronavirus Task force. Yes, that is the first and most significant signal from President Trump so far after this election, jon karl, our thanks to you. Meantime, president elect biden making news of his own and making history with his cabinet picks. Heres abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz tonight. Reporter if confirmed janet yellen, the former chair of the federal reserve, would be the first woman ever to serve as treasury secretary, a remarkable first given that she would succeed 75 men who have filled the position and more important than ever during this critical period in the pandemic economy. The official announcement expected in the coming days, with biden first concentrating today on his National Security team, expecting some pointed fights. Sir, do you expect republicans to put up any significant roadblocks to your nominations . Are you kidding me . Whyd you go with national Security First . Because its National Security. Thanks. Reporter his nominees have vast experience. Tony blinken, nominated for secretary of state has been a critic of the Trump Administration. My concern is that weve seen a daily assault on democracy under this administration, which has tarnished our own ability to lead. Reporter blinken has long been involved in foreign policy, from state to capitol hill to the white house, thats him in the situation room when Osama Bin Laden was killed. Another first with director of naitional intelligenc, avril haines, the first woman nominated for that role after serving as deputy at the cia. At Homeland Security, the first ever latino nominated as secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas making clear today his would be a very different dhs than during the Trump Administration tweeting that as an immigrant he will now protect those who flee persecution in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones. At the u. N. , retired Career Foreign Service diplomat, linda thomasgreenfield, raised in the segregated south, would hold the position of u. N. Ambassador and, david n. A sign that the environment is also so important, biden named former secretary of state john kerry, special president ial envoy for climate, david. Martha raddatz with us live tonight as well.
