This pandemic right now. Playing offense against covid19, where we stand against therapeutics, a vaccine and hospital care. Are we Getting Better at treating success patients . Plus around 80 million ballots already cast how will this massive vote, impact fierce and weather impact turnout on election day. Live from cnbc global headquarter, the fact, the truth, the news with shepard smith. Good evening with five days until the election, a fight for mustwin florida. President donald trump and joe biden holding rallies in tampa just hours apart nbc news marist poll out today show as tight race in florida, biden with a slight edge, 5147, but thats inside the margin of error and last months poll had them tied at 48. A live look at tampa here where biden is set to take the stage at any minute. Biden told supporters there today if florida goes blue, its over were covering both campaigns. And Kayla Tausche is following the story. Reporter President Donald Trump had people in blazing heat that sent some to the hospital because of the blazing heat. If we do win, youre going to see a stock market that goes through the roof your 401 k s are going to go up by 50 quickly you watch. I know all those guys. Theyre petrified at the thought of having massive tax increase, regulation in florida early voting, republicans have cast 2. 8 million votes, democrats have cast 3 million voters unaffiliated have cast 1. 5 million. Trump was ahead just two days ago, showing its still anyones race for the states 29 electoral votes. The president is now headed to North Carolina to greet military families after another rally scheduled for tonight there was cancelled due to wind gusts projected up to 50 Miles Per Hour separately, state Health Officials confirm two attendees at the president s last event in the state have since tested positive for the coronavirus despite the president s optimism for the stock market earlier today, his top economic adviser was asked about that and how the market particularly would digest this recent spike in covid cases, larry kudlow told the Washington Post no one knows. Kayla, thanks Kristen Welker in tampa following the Biden Campaign joe biden says if he wins florida, thats it thats right. Because basically President Donald Trump has a very, very narrow path if he doesnt win florida. And so if former Vice President joe biden can carry out a win here with its 29 electoral votes, that would all but guarantee a victory and going to the white house. What we saw today, shep, two very different messages, two very different rallies you had President Donald Trump, as kayla said, who had thousands there, very little social distancing, few masks and Vice President biden who had what is becoming one of his signature rallies, a drivein, where people honked instead of cheering for an applause line. He tried to put the fo vice t biden said cases of covid are rising right here in florida he made the point this all comes down to the Sunshine State take a listen to what biden had to say. This election is the most important one youve ever voted in, whether its your first or tenth. Ladies and gentlemen, the heart and soul of this country is at stake right here in florida. Its up to you you hold the key if florida goes blue, its over its over biden will be energizing supporters here in tampa this is of course a swing district so expect a lot of focus on tampa. Worth noting that while bide has at that fourpoint lead in the broader poll, President Donald Trump is doing well with men and latino voters and bidens trying to peel some of those off, shep. Biden vowed today to create a task force to reunite mike grgr children separated from their children once in office, hes going to create that task force to reunite children under President Donald Trumps zero tolerance policy there are still an estimated nearly 500 children who have not been reunited with their families and who the government doesnt know where their parents are. So biden trying to put the focus on that and vowing to do something about it the question is how quickly will he be able to do something if he is in fact elected and is it too late to try to swing any of the votes here again, shep, the latino vote is critical here in the battleground state of florida. Ive been talking to a lot of different members of the Latino Community over the past 48 hours and i can tell you, they are sharply divided. Shep kristen, thanks record voting across the country. More than 80 million americans already cast their ballots and look at texas. 8. 5 million early voters just there, almost 95 of the total cast in 2016 in fact, texas is extending early voting through friday in some counties and making voting locations available 24 hours a day. In georgia almost 3. 5 million votes cast now thats 83 of 2016s number. But the states been battered by hurricane zeta 16 counties postponing early voting Douglas County postponing voting altogether powerful ice storms knocking out power to more than 300,000 homes in oklahoma. That includes about half of oklahoma citys residents. Contessa brewer has been following elections in swing states contessa, what does record early voting and bad weather mean for election day reporter its unlikely to be like anything weve ever seen. Its harder in a lot of places here iowa has lost 261 polling sites since 2016 that affects 30 of voters in that state, mostly in urban areas and in some states you might have to bypass armed poll observers to cast your ballot. Wildfires and hurricanes have damaged polling sites. In louisiana 70 of polling sites around lake charles have to change because of damage or power outages. And still the parish clerk anticipates 19,000 people will show up at the largest of its mega voting sites on election day. Experts on turnout anticipate fle plenty of enthusiasm to fuel november 3rd voting. How does coronavirus come into play here er th theyre having a toughee getting poll volunteers. They have to include extra time for people are very excited to go vote on election day but considering that covid is increasing day by day, youre seeing the lines at testing sites get longer, the stats on the news channel grow every day. I quickly changed my mind and am choosing to vote early because of a few reasons reporter in el paso county, t texas, there are cure fefews in place. An a judge is on the record encouraging people to vote in spite of those obstacles dr. Anthony fauci told us last night if we continue on the current course, were going to be in for a whole lot of pain ahead. Across the country Many Americans are already feeling it this map shows the number of people who were in hospitals back in april. Its broken down by region remember, hospitalizations are one of the best ways to track this virus because the numbers arent affecting by testing. You can see the northeast in red up there it was hardest hit, more than 35,000 people in the hospitals in early going the socalled second wave, these are the numbers from late july thats when hospitalizations surged in the deep south, while they dropped in the midwest and northeast. Finally, heres a look at where things stand today the number of people in hospitals much more widespread moe major surges, instead, little fires everywhere. All regions reporting thousands of hospitalizations. Inside hospitals, covid has changed the lives of thousands of doctors, nurses and others across the country Gabe Gutierrez spoke with some in montana today gabe, a rough road ahead there reporter certainly, shep, theres a lot of concern here as we head into flu season and as we get into the winter with colder temperatures. We did speak with some of those Health Care Workers here today they say theyve seen a dramatic rise in cases over the last several weeks. They have three covid units here at some times they have been at or near capacity take a listen to what they showed us today. Saint Vincent Health care in Billings Montana wasnt always among the front lines in the war against covid. It is now. Joey says hes personally held the hands of 23 of his patients who have died, after the first one passed without him theyre not going to pass alone on my unit again reporter the hospital granted us access with the permission of patients families to show the devastating impact of the virus this facility takes in critical patients from across the state this is one of the hospitals three covid units. At least 14 Covid Patients here are on ventilators right now its a minutebyminute struggle how close are you to being at capacity right now were close, were very close. And again, we can probably find beds but its going to be at the expense of nonCovid Patients. She showed us one patient still intubated. Another had just come off his ventilator the toll here is mounting. Joey traywick visited one of his patients now in recovery, out of isolation. When he gets to get off of the covid unit on to a different floor where he can have a visitor perhaps, its like we won. Thats, i mean, one of the times that it dawns on you theres hope you know, shep, some of what we saw here today reminded me a lot of what we saw in new york months ago many of the Health Care Workers say theyre frustrated more people arent wearing mask and they wish at least some of this could have been prevented. Thank you of course we hear a lo abot abo vaccines and from some corners how theyre right around the corner thats not true. There is a race to produce a vaccine, one thats safe and works and distribute it to billions around the world, but that is not around the corner. Cnbcs meg tirrel nol now. What does the race for a vaccine look like now . We could be getting close to the beginning of the end we expect to see data from moderna and pfizer perhaps even over the next few weeks. Dr. Fauci is saying that those, if successful, could start to be deployed at the end of december and in early january however, because there will be such limited supply, they will be given to the most prioritized group like Health Care Workers and people at really high risk of the disease and then it will be into 2021 if these vaccines are successful that the rest of us could get access what about treatments and therapeutics, meg . Reporter well, we just got some new data that was positive last night on antibody drug. They showed when they gave this to people just diagnosed to covid19, they could cut the risk of needing to go to the hospital or see the doctor at 57 and people at higher rate of severe disease, they cut the risk by 72 . That can be an incredibly meaningful drug. The problem, its in short may have only 50,000 doses. They hope to get up to 300,000 within a few months. There are pills in the works as well merck is working on one of those. Its ceo joined cnbc this morning to talk about that potential promise. Here whats he said. What we know so far about that drug is very encouraging. We know that at concentrations that seem to be safe that it prevents viral replication now the question is in a large study of 2,700 people, can we show it has actually has an effect on sickness and death, morbidity and mortality . Were very optimistic about that we might get those data early 2021 meg, thanks so much a sign of the times from walm t walmart. Its pulling ammunition and guns off its store shelves.

Sometimes its water that crushes and this time it looks like its the wind youre exactly right. This is a tale of which side of the hurricane you were on. Wind roared ashore yesterday right around this time if you were in the new orleans area, this was a wind event in every sense of the word. You can see that firsthand in this bakery behind me. Take a lock here, this roof thats covering this parking lot and partially covering this entire building was actually blown off by zeta from a neighboring business here. That is a nail salon the owner telling me hes owned this business for decades now. It was a complete loss from hurricane katrina. Now hes going to have to rebuild yet again from hurricane zeta this is the strongest hurricane to hit louisiana this late in a season, and weve seen time and time again the damage its left behind this was wind. If we go to the east in mississippi, we saw the storm surge just rolling inland. A parking garage had cars bobbing in them and we know that there was an estimated 11 feet of water pushed inland in that area, shep no matter what side youre on, zeta making it very clear this is not a storm to be messed with thank you we got great Economic News wrapped up in covid hell the Gross Domestic Product increased at 33 in the Third Quarter. Consumer spending, reopenings and business investing driving that rebound, but theres still a long way to go the economy is only about twothirds of the way back where it was from before the pandemic struck and the future is, well, uncertain to put it mildly Steve Liesman is with us its clear now there are two economies, really. Yeah, at least two, shep. You have people who theyre working from home, they havent felt this at all other people who have seen their businesses close down, lock down, reopen, reclosed some of those folks are getting government aid some folks maybe have gotten it before and seen it run out with the lack of stimulus you just reported that big number, that 33 that followed a huge decline of 31 in the second quarter. So we did the math for you are so you dont have to do it at home from before the pandemic to now, wooer still down 3. 5 . Let me put that in context thats just a little better than the worst days of the 2008 2009 recession. Its still a recession out there. We had a stimulus for a while. Now we dont have anything are these numbers proof that that stimulus worked or how would you put it i wouldnt say proof but strongly suggested when you look at the Consumer Spending numbers, it was up 40 . Weve not seen anything like this on a quartertoquarter basis. You can see it right there theres the down and theres the back up. Weve had two element. One, you had pentup demand from the decline in the second quarter, people spent with some abandon. We also had a mass of infusion of government stimulus into the economy and it strongly suggested it helped the economy in the Third Quarter how could it not.

Of course were already starting to vote. More than 7 Million People in florida alone, thats 80 of the total turnout back in 2016 new polls today show joe biden with a lead there, but a new sense of urgency those polls show him underperforming with latinos, cuban americans in south florida and venezuelas in central florida, the numbers during himself message today at a drivein rally the Trump Administration are deporting hundreds of cubans and venezuelans back toi their dictatorships. Trump loves to talk. He wont even grant temporary protective status for venezuelans. The president meantime in tampa making his own push for the latino vote. Bidens agenda will devastate the hispanic american community. He betrayed hispanic americans for 47 years hes been very bad to the hispanic americans and what is happening with those poll numbers. What is happening with the polls in florida Steve Kornacki with the data florida is a rapidly changing state. Can you rapidly see it in the polls, right check this out, shep. Youre talking about the change among hispanic voters. A brand new telemundo poll, biden only leads by 5. How big of a change is that . This was just four years ago, donald trump lost the hispanic vote to Hillary Clinton in florida by 27. Now trump is within five and you were talking about it a second ago. This is a big reason why, among cuban american voters, south florida, miami dade, used to be a big republican constituency, trump didnt do that well with cubans in 2016, now he is. Thats the big change for trump since 2016 in the positive direction for him in florida latinos and then the senior vote crucial. Thats the thing. You look at numbers like this and you say how is trump still losing in florida and the answer is this. Among senior citizens, trump losing by seven to joe biden in the poll check out how different that is from 2016. Four years ago trump won seniors in florida by 17 points. One out of every five votes cast in florida is from a senior citizen. Trump won seniors big in 2016. Now hes running from behind thats why the polls show him slightly behind biden overall in florida. You hear biden say we win florida, we win it all it sounds like election talk but theres history there that says hes pretty close. There are paths for joe biden if he doesnt win florida. There are paths to an Electoral College majority for donald trump, if he doesnt get florida, it is very hard to construct a path to 270 for him. Joe biden if he puts a win on the board in florida, he could put trump away with that Steve Kornacki on the numbers. Thank you, sir covid watch and an example of how quickly the virus can spread two super spreaders on long island, same day one wedding on long island, 91 attended, 30 tested positive a birthday party, 50 people there, it half tested positive all tolled about 300 had to quarantine after these two events its why this thanksgiving could be a recipe for disaster to hear it from dr. Fauci. Large indoor gatherings without masks and distancing is very dangerous. And hours at a table, thats the worst, according to the doctors it happened in canada. Case there is shot up two weeks after their thanksgiving it a cautionary tale for americans. Cnbcs rahelle solman at a train station. Are people heeding this warning . 33 say theyre not traveling or visiting friend this thanksgiving but more than a third say they are and 23 say theyre still not sure thats according to a recent yahoo poll Health Officials are saying this is not the time to let your guard down in fact, just the opposite this is the hardest point in this pandemic now, the next two months weve done a very good job sheltering a lot of people and keeping people safe. We cant give up our guard right now. We need to continue to be vigilant but, shep, people we talk to say theyre conflicted some say theyre going to wait until a little bit closer to thanksgiving to decide and others telling us they have already been told by their parents dont come home. Thanksgiving was going to be a wash itself just because the last couple months i was really actually hoping to go home for christmas zip thi i think its a gametime decision that will probably be talked about in a week or so. Seems like everybodys just avoiding it for now. The message that fauci and some of the other doctors have been getting out, the fact that so much of the spread is coming from the small, inperson gatherings, its not worth it. Shep, we also know that some grocers like sams club, which is typically known for their bulk offerings, theyre preparing for perhaps smaller gatherings as well, this year offering smaller hams and even smaller desserts rahel, thanks the question, with covid on the rise, are people being look flights for the holiday . Were asked jet blue ceo we continue to see a fair bit of interest around thanksgiving and holiday period weve been on the rise for a couple of weeks and so far we havent seen an impact on bookings so whats the travel season going to look like cnbcs phil lebeau now its going to be a lot quieter and a lot less expensive for the people flying hopper, which tracks airfares and the number of people looking to book flights, it did a survey of potential travelers and it found that 60 , a good chunk of them who did travel in the past said were not going to do it this year the good news for those who are flying, it will be less expensive. In fact, the average domestic airfare is going to be down about 40 . For the few going international, it will be down 22 . What were talking about are the domestic travelers, those are the people who typically go away for thanksgiving masks for everybody on major carriers what else are they doing . Testing were seeing testing and a few like united saying theyre going to test some covid rapid results tests. Youre going to see this over the next couple of months as airports are realizing weve got to convince them theyre not going to have to quan teen when they get here or when they leave. Will thnz be their biggest numbers for the Major Airlines since like february or march it will be an increase but down 40, 45 compared to last year thanks very much.

I feel violated and i feel pissed off about it. Reporter steve who owns a small Marketing Business outside san diego thought he was being smart. With a toddler at home and baby on the way, he wanted to set up a savings account in a safe place. Then he saw the ad on line builds your cash 2 to 4 a year reporter the money was supposed to be fdic insured. That logo gave you peace of minority, didnt it . Absolutely. Reporter according to the web site, it worked with a network of big banks paying above market Interest Rate thanks to simple things like low overhead you could boost the rate more by doing things like recruiting new members. It seemed like a neat, modern twist on a highinterest savings account. Reporter he put his money in, up to a 15,000 maximum and watched the interest pile up, until this summer when he said the app briefly stopped working. I had that oh shoot moment. Reporter he called and reached out on social media. Were not here, well call you tomorrow cricke crickets, no response. I just think its shameful, just shameful reporter steve wolf is not alone. We found dozens of complaints from people who say they, too, cant get their money out. Beams web site says it has 186,000 subscribers. Their subscribers total some 2. 4 million the bottom line is i dont know where the money is. We found that beam is not quite what it seems. The supposed cutting edge company has its headquarters here at a nondescript building in season frans mission district, closed when we paid a visit. The banks on the web site, we contacted them all and not one of the 17 responded said it had a relationship with beam, which took its name off the web site after we began asking questions. So what is beam . Its not a bank, as the Company Admits its a Technology Company that uses a perfectly legal arrangement called a sweep account, take in deposits, sweep them into fdic banks, make interest on the money and pass some of it back to customers but we learned it would hatwo oe vendors are cutting ties with baels. The fdic says it wants answers regarding insurance and the federal trade commission is investigating possible deceptive practices by the company a beam spokesperson said the companys top priority has been the customers. It says the service was interrupted last month because of fraud by certain customers. They wont say much beyond that and that doesnt address the fact that there have been many complaints before this month and the fact that the ftc has been investigating this since may its also at odds with a lot of explanations beam has previously given customers. It says it is working to process the most time sensitive and is working to assure customers the money is safe in an fdic insured bank but beam is not a bank that fdic insurance applies if the bank fails does not apply if beam fails thanks. A new wave of cyber crime is hitting u. S. Hospitals that from the fbi and other agencies theyre stealing private data and holding it for ransom. This is happening as new research from jpmorgan shows ransomwear attacks cost the u. S. Economy 7. 5 billion alone we have eamon javers on the threat reporter it charges about 10 million to get the data back ransomware is where the hacker locks up your data and then charges you a fee, often in bitcoin, to get that data back victims have included Hospital Systems in vermont, new york, oregon the damage inside these facilities can be devastating. Hospitals have to rely on paperbased methods to provide care to patients its very hard for hospitals, for care givers, to figure out how much medicine do they need to give to a patient because they cant look it up in the system they cant look up what their allergies are or perhaps how much medication they provided them a few hours ago heres a real example of a ransomware email that the folks over at the Security Firm fire eye shared with us it looks like a normal response but when you click on the link, thats where the trouble starts. The difficulty is about whether or not to pay this ransom. The u. S. Government advises companies not to pay the ransom. They say in cases it can be illegal to do that but Companies Need this data, particularly hospitals where this can be a matter of life and death so companies are paying these ransoms in droves and hackers, shep, are making millions of dollars. Does the government have any idea whos doing this . You know, they do just last week we saw an indictment by the department of justice of six russian intelligence officials they actually nailmed the individual russians whose fingers were on the keyboards during cyber attacks. One was very similar in a hospital in West Virginia where a computer controlling cardiology and surgery was badly hit. Even with the u. S. Government knowing this, the hackers are making a lot of money. They saw profits in romania turning up and the hackers were building an entire development of mcmansions. A lot of money pumping out the other end of this scam a massive export from hawaii, the cargo . Cats and dogs.
