They do not accept us, young or old is to graylands. They dont even want the children to live. As it has had on our block, we came on foot, we were walking for 3 days. We did not eat and we had little water. We arrived at the cap now, 8 days after we arrived. We have food to eat and Water DistrictAl United States is hoping to begin a Sweeping Program of vaccinations against the coronavirus in early december. Ahead of the White House Vaccine Task force says it plans to vaccinate 20000000. 00 people before the end of the year to vaccines are up for approval in early december. Both said to be 95 percent effective. Our plan is to be able to ship vaccines to the immunization sites within 24 hours from the approval. So i would expect maybe on day 2, after approval on the 11th or on the 12th of december, hopefully the 1st people will be immunized across the United States. Across all states, in all the areas where this, the state department of health will have to told us where to deliver the vaccine are now joined by out of their cars. One of patti calling in washington. So some positive news in the fight to contain a virus it really is, i mean, how long has it been almost 9 months and weve had absolutely nothing nice to say nothing positive to say about the coronavirus. He went on to say that you think that by may of next year, basically we could return immunity in this country. Now dr. Anthony fauci, who is the lead Infectious Disease expert in this country, said that probably not because that means a huge portion of the population would have to get vaccinated. And this is a country that there is a small minority that just dont get vaccines, but theyre very vocal on social media. And there was just a poll that said only 58 percent of americans say theyre going to get this vaccine when its available. 79 percent of people said theyre not quite sure if this was done right. If it was rushed. So its going to be a huge Public Relations effort to try to get people to get their shots in their arms. But theres also some downsides here, and i think we have to point those out. If you can hear some of the hammers behind me, thats because right back there, theres a grandstand being put up for the inauguration. Thats going to happen on january 20th for president elect joe biden, but donald trump is not of the white house right now. Hes back to his golf course. Hes refusing to admit the reality that hes actually lost the election. Hes not letting his team know about anything that theyve been doing when it comes to coming up with these vaccines and some medicines, its called operation warp speed. So whats happened is the government working with the Defense Department has come up with 6 potential. That scenes that they thought showed promise. So they gave these companies billions of dollars to try and build up factories to pump out supplies. So, all of these past months, while these vaccines are going through Clinical Trials, what weve seen is that theyve been stockpiling these vaccines, so they will be ready with 20000000 doses minute that this is approved. And those are just the 2 vaccines who are now in for approval. Theres another 4 that are still working their way through the process that again, theyve got tens of millions of doses waiting in the wings to see if they are in fact effective. Now the biden ministration is a lot of concerns about how the trouble ministration is handled. This operation, warp speed, they want to see the details. You can they say, look at the way theyve handled testing in this country. It is kind of a disaster in many parts of the country where the virus is out of control almost 200000. 00 cases in a single day on friday, and its just going up, but up and up every single day breaking records. So they say, look at testing, youre across the country, you have to wait a week for test results. If you can even get it many places, sometimes its longer than the tests are open, absolutely effective. They can do contactors you right now because its so widespread. And there are certain thanksgiving the holiday, the c. D. C. Told people just a few days ago. Hey, look, its thanksgiving. I know you want to have turkey with grandma, your aunts and uncles, but its just not worth it. Dont travel americans a large portion of say, nope, going to travel anyway. We saw a 1000000 people at the airports on friday, 50 millions of mer, 50000000, americans expected to travel over this thanksgiving week. And they say that is the biggest concern. That is where this virus is spreading. And there is real concern that the hospitals are going to be overrun. Were not seen us. What we saw in the spring when it popped up in new york in the west coast, in the National Guard to mobilize, they dont field hospitals, and they were able to nurses and doctors in from other parts of the country. Thats the biggest concern right now because its everywhere in the country. Theres a new state that stuber to early. Well, so they need their nurses and doctors to stay where they are. So that is the biggest concern. Still, i dont want to just be all doom and gloom. There is some positive news. It looks like we might have a vaccine sooner rather than later. Thanks very much, im glad its not all doom and gloom patty calling in washington. So obviously, as patty was saying that improving prospects for a vaccine still concern about access g. 20 leaders have promised to spend no effort in making sure Coronavirus Vaccine distributed fairly around the wild. But wrapping up a Virtual Summit hosted by saudi arabia, they gave few specifics on exactly how this would be guaranteed. A diplomatic editor james base reports.

But 28000000000 more needed, including 4200000000 before the end of the this funding is critical for mass manufacturing, procurement, and delivery of new 1000 vaccines and around the world. That funding was one of 2 main asks by the secretary general, but its not here in the final declaration by g. 20 leaders.

But wrapping up their Virtual Summit hosted by saudi arabia, they gave few specifics on how this would be guaranteed and now donald trump has suffered another legal setback in his bid to overturn the results of the us president ial election. A federal judge dismissed a Trump Campaign lawsuit in the crucial state of pennsylvania, the judge said the claim to prevent state officials from certifying results was without merit. But trumps legal team isnt giving up his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani plans to appeal and says actually help speed up a strategy to get the case before the u. S. Supreme court. Eliot brennan is a Research Associate at the United States studies center at the university of sydney says the lawsuit filed in pennsylvania has little chance of progressing for the case itself was thrown out very, very quickly. Its doesnt have much of a legal standing the, the words of the judge actually, it was almost as if he was insulted by, by having to, to hear the case at all. So it is not a very strong case if they bring in pennsylvania. And of course, the skies and this state is a crucial one in that electoral map. So its looking more and more unlikely, and its been on unlikely since the start that any of these legal avenues were going to bear fruit for the Trump Campaign. And were really just getting to the point now where theyre running out of options. Theres always been talk of the supreme court. President trump said on Election Night itself, that we will fight this in the supreme court. But its not clear that theres any part way there for them now quite simply, theyre running out of time before the Electoral College has a safe harbor deadline on december and then mates on december 14th. What happened this election while it was a rejection of donald trump, its quite evident that he has lost the president ial election. It wasnt a rejection of trump. Ism really say that there was an incredible mobilization behind donald trump. The candidate that brought out record numbers of voters for the republicans. The problem was that democrats brought out even more people. So right now, the republican institutions in this sort of states this, where they dont want to challenge President Trump because they can see how much power he wails in solving what was previously a demographic problem for republicans. Now an experimental treatment given to donald trump by the contract of chi that has been cleared for why to use the u. S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the emergency use of the general 1900. Antibody treatment. And the u. K.
