The last 24 hours and a similar spike in the u. K. Has seen restrictions reimposed in parts of Northern England scotland has even warned its citizens not to travel to parts of the country unless absolutely necessary or mike hanna has been following dr fox news testimony in washington d. C. Dr prachi spoke about the 3 separate to vaccine programs that i present under way 3 separate trials going on a lot of collaboration between the 3 he said the sharing of data the sharing of results to try and get a vaccine as soon as possible and one of these platforms he said showed very very encouraging signs in its 1st 2 trials in terms of the tests on humans and on animals its now going into the 3rd stage of its testing that will involve some 30000 people being tested but this is what dr you have to say theres never a guarantee that youre going to get a safe and effective vaccine but from everything weve seen now in the animal data as well as the early human data we feel cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021 dr follet she emphasized that the basic tenants of contacting this virus have remained unchanged throughout the pandemic supported in this by the director of the centers for Disease Control its those simple things he says that can make that change wash your hands where a mosque avoid crowds do not go into crowded private places maintaining social distancing once again repeating a mantra that dr on the other Health Experts are absolutely adamant can lower this dramatic curb in the United States. And millions of americans left jobless in the wake of the pandemic could be set for new hardship a 600. 00 a week benefit is about to end the attempts to agree on a new federal relief fund have stalled and lets cross to our White House Correspondent carrie how could he joins us and kimberly a lot of people have come to depend on this but the checks and today what happens next. Yeah the checks and today even as cases are rising of coronavirus in the United States even as jobless claims have risen for the past 2 weeks what is happening next is that there is a negotiation but that doesnt provide much comfort for most americans who are struggling in fact there are you know upwards of 20000000 some say as high as 30000000 still unemployed counting on the 600 dollars a week checks is sensually there is kind of a problem here that both sides are blaming the other for the failure to put in relief to go past today they have very different visions of what that really looks like if youre a republican you think that it should the 600. 00 should be replaced by a 200. 00 week check until september and then from there it should be 70 percent of your wages until you can find another job but democrats say no we got to keep the 600. 00 a week going so thats one big point of contention the other is with regard to liability republicans really want to make sure that schools and businesses and other sort of areas that serve the public that they cant be blamed to someone says i think i got coronavirus or caught covert 19 in your facility so they want this Liability Protection whereas democrats are saying what we want is more money for state and local governments so thats another big point of disagreement now in the midst of all of this what were hearing is that they will continue their negotiations tonight into tomorrow the argument being that theyve got to get something done this is significant because what we had expected is that congress was going to take a break as of today for one month but now were hearing from the leadership at least on the democratic side theyre going to keep working but in the midst of all this weve got kind of a blame game going on in washington that really doesnt help anyone there were dueling press conferences in the last couple of hours the House Speaker nancy pelosi holding want to capitol hill the White House Holding one.
