666 Migrant Children the struggle facing military veterans locking to b lockioy a home good evening covid is about to change our lives, across our nation, in ways that are hard to process. Thats the warning from doctors, scientists, hospital administrators, everybody involved treating the virus spreading unchecked. Think of this, you fall and break a leg or get a heart attack or the flu and there is no hospital for you or doctor with time for you. Covid has disrupted the medical systems ability to function in iowa, they say to have a backup plan in case you cant get into a hospital. And el paso, alert that hospitals are unmanageable and bodies are piling up six freezer trucks being used as mobile morgues, four more expected by the weekend. Hospitals forced to battle beyond their walls of the crisis a recordbreaking 27,000 cases today. And a nurse took on covid in new york when it was the epicenter now he said el paso is being overrun. People are getting sick. I never expected it to be like new york in this crisis, people dont see it so we need you to paint a picture for us, a real picture, what its like in a hospital if you localize it to you go to a hospital and next thing you know you hear an alarm going off. You see everyone in a room doing compressions on a patient and putting a tube down a patients throat and hoping they do it without harming them what does this do to people who are trained who help and heal people . It hurts we are at an emotional breaking point. What we do is help people. When it comes to the point saying i cant do anything for you, it takes an emotional toll on us. At the breaking point and getting worse and coming to communities across the nation. Doctors and data are our guide tracing is uncontrolled. Average number of cases each day up 152 from a month ago but 72,000 more cases per day on average than this same time last month and in the cusp of a hospitalization Record Number of hospitalizations is at a sixmonth high and the United States is rapidly apoaching 6,000 deaths a day thats a benchmark but not a high mark. It is warned that many more americans will die in el paso they know what does this feel and look like it is an odd feeling. El paso facing its darkest days, but driving around the city you would be hardpressed to see it. But it is not until you come here that you witness damage firsthand. You mentioned refrigerated units. Several arrived today. They are parked here not out of precaution, but necessity. The bodies are starting to pile up in some cases hospitals are starting to have to ship patients hundreds of miles away. When they succumb to the virus, families have to find a way to get them back here a company said they purchased three massive cooling trucks just to keep up. A loved one passed away from covid and the hospitals didnt have room so they sent them to san antonio and houston, so now the family has to deal with not only the expense of doing the service here, but getting them here locally a county judge issued an order and now is facing a lawsuit from a Restaurant Group joined by the Texas Attorney general stating he has overstepped his authority in shutting down this city despite the numbers going up in covid cases. A District Court heard this and it is being appealed meanwhile the order expires tomorrow at midnight your community is doing better than el paso, right it wont happen in your town 15 days ago we talked with an el paso doctor. He said it was getting worse but they were ready. I think the country realizes this could be a dark and tragic time over the next four weeks. Cases get hospitalizations which, sadly, beget deaths now its a whole new world doctor, is the system in el paso capable of with standing the surge . We thought it was, but obviously it hasnt, and it wont for the next foreseeable future for the few weeks that come ahead i dont see how we can continue to absorb the impact we see coming to our ers and hospitals. We are getting to capacity is there treatment for them or very complicated . There is treatment. It is complicated. We are taking all of the patients coming in besides the covid patients, but there is no place to put them. They are hooking up places outside the hospital in tents. The government is setting up a facility where we are housing patients with covid. We are opening bed space in hospitals, not acute hospitals, but longterm acute care facilities now i apologize for the connection i have one more question i hope it comes back together and it has you have both covid and flu. Dr. Fauci predicted that how complicating is it it is very complicating it is concerning because obviously we are seeing lethal conditions and the same system we are starting to see those patients we have in our service, not one, but several patients with both, and they are complicated doctor, all of the best to you and everybody in the border land it is not just el paso its spreading nationwide. Utah is under emergency, the whole state. Hospitalizations are up 37 . The governor of utah row kwieeqe people to wear masks people are to stay home for two weeks. Reporter some of the Health Experts i have talked to are worried. It relies on people doing the right thing and so far people are not listening to public Health Experts that has people like ben jensen worried. She contracted covid19 days before she gave birth. Now in the hospital behind me on a ventilator he had this message. Think how you would feel if you were in a position where you had to watch someone you cared about struggling for their life. Reporter we are hearing these pleas not only from patients, but doctors and nurses on the line. In utah they are to use masks. Bars are still open. I was told it drives them crazy and said utah is going down a dangerous road look what it might look like with an increase from the past month as we look towards the next seven weeks right now we see about 117,000 cases, new ones. By thanksgiving, assuming our estimates hold, numbers go up to 157,000. Dangerous because the holidays bring people together. See this here. An estimate of 191,000 every day and two weeks after that we get to christmas, thats 222,000 of new cases every day. That is why officials warn against gathering for thanksgiving how about dr. Fauci . My wife and i are going to have dinner alone together we are going to zoom with our children and laugh and eat with our children. You could follow the fauci. Or you could follow these rules remember, avoiding the gathering altogether is the safest bet have you tried to reach out to the president and if you have, what would you say to him . Mr. President , look forward to speaking with you what does it say to you that the president has yet to concede and what it might mean to the country . I think its an embarrassment. President elect biden said hes well on his way. Federal funds and resources are being withheld that an incoming president normally gets and needs. Today secretary of state mike pompeo was asked if the state department is working with the Biden Transition Team. Listen closely there will be a smooth transition to a Second Trump Administration we are ready the world is watching what is taking place we are going to count the police there will be an winner projected. It certainly does there are many who are backing President Trumps legal fights the president wasnt defeated by huge numbers, in fact, he may not have been defeated at all. Anyone who is running for office can exhaust concerns about counting no reason for alarm. Normally investigations begin with evidence. Not here there is none. President elect biden calling the gop mildly intimidated by the president. Hallie jackson is at the white house. What a day reporter you said it how is this republican response affecting the transition which would normally be happening by now . In a couple of ways and how it is affecting the president elects response the biggest way is by backing President Trump, you see a lot of republicans basically giving President Trump political cover to continue to refuse to concede and to move forward with these legal challenges of voting irregularities despite there being none it allows the administration to hold off on handing over the administration the biggest reason that is important i spoke to the vicechair mark warner this is typically something that happened when a president elect comes in it happened for President Trump so that an incoming president can get up to speed. I have to tell you though, joe biden, listen, he is basically saying, yes, it is embarrassing that the president is failing to concede. But he is sanguid saying they will come around we are hearing about trump loyalists being installed at the pentagon like devon nunez that is raising questions from people looking it at this wholistically and there is concern about who else might be on the chopping block you have seen this related to the cia director i spoke with the former cia director john brennan. He is concerned about the future of haskell as are others, democrats on capitol hill. Chris ray. I think it was in august when he was holding a News Conference and he said are you considering firing mark esper and the president said i consider firing everybody. Thats how this president is you hear it on his administration, they serve at the will of the president. Mike pompeo was asked and followed up upon if he was serious about the transitions. He did not answer directly, but he said there would be a smooth transition when the votes were counted. An audience of one. Thank you. And the Supreme Court hears about obama care there have been challenges, but with covid, the stakes are high. The health care of millions on the line as the Affordable Care act faces another critical Supreme Court test covid cure reality check some of the challenges that lie ahead. It is not that easy it hurts when the lights went out on broadway, many were left without work and Health Insurance. What now stressballs gummies have ashwagandha, an herbal stress reliever that helps you turn the stressed life. Into your best life. Stress less and live more. With stressballs. Survive its latest challenge thats the assessment from Pete Williams based on questions from the Supreme Court justices 18 states want the law thrown out. They argue that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and the law cant stand without it thats the requirement for people to get Health Insurance or pay a penalty but in 2017 the rule was that there is no fine today Justice Samuel alito said more than 20 Million People rely on obama care and expect to rely on this ruling come spring chief roberts seemed to point back to congress the question is even if the court thinks that individual mandate is unconstitutional because there is no tax to save it as was done the first time in 2012 he said the test is what did congress want. He said if you look what congress did in 2017, they took the tax out, but not the whole law so he thinks thats good evidence they dont want the whole law to collapse. And Justice Cavanaugh said basically the same he has said that the Supreme Court should not strike down laws unless its clear i think at least five justices think the law survives millions lost their jobs this year actors on broadway got crushed 41 theaters got shut down. 50,000 people lost their jobs and for many, scrambling to pay their bills. As for the Health Insurance, here is lesley picker. Reporter it was last year that caitlin was performing on the stage earning her an emmy nomination with covid theaters were forced to close, leaving thousands, like kinnunen without a job. Now i am without a job and so Health Insurance is very important. If you are part of a union, you only are guaranteed coverage if you perform a certain number of weeks per year. With covid, people are losing that people will fall off and wont be able to get another contract before then if i didnt have insurance, my Health Care Costs would be insurmountable it is not like i am spending this money on things that make my life easier i am spending money on things that keep me alive reporter she is a type 1 die beat piece diabetes. She said she would pursue insurance through theaccordabl care act but she said her coverage is likely to change i will have to start over from scratch and thats scary. Her coffers are running dry i think its hard to describe how terrified people are, how desperate they are feeling for her, her uncertainty over health care has made her rethink about her career in theater. We do it because we are passionate about it. Its a calling so just to say go do something else, it hurts reporter this is what broadway shut down looks like. The box office would normally be buzzing in any other year. Now that Broadway Energy has been redirected to washington where the Union Members are fighting for subsidy they are fighting for their insurance, but that they not have to pay the more than 1,000 per month currently required covid serving another major blow to College Football late breaking in the sec the top teams that wont be gearing up this weekend.

We started to see a light at the end of this pandemic title yesterday. A vaccine that looks like it may work pfizer says its more than 90 effective in trial pfizer says up to 25 Million People could get vaccinated by the end of the year. But before you put it in you, how does it work because its not the vaccine method of old at all this is new Technology Reporter when your body fights off a virus, it makes antibodies that fight like soldiers vaccines help us do that, training our immune soldiers to be ready in the war against covid. The goal of a vaccine is to induce the immune response without making people pay the price of natural infection reporter the vaccine does the work this week one is working one of three different approaches scientists are taking the scientist said they all have the same goal. Before you get sick, make sure your body can make the protein if you can prevent the virus from attaching to the cells, then can you prevent the cells from infecting you reporter this is done by a piece of genetic material called messenger rnt. We make cells which create antibodies as z affidav astrazeneca and also Johnson Johnson also do that in this approach, the spike protein is delivered, skipping the step requiring ourselves to make it. Its the way we make the human papilloma vaccine. One might work better for older or high risk people. But we dont know yet and wont know until the third trial is completed for all three of them. Which of these vaccines will be the best . We will find it out. Reporter we heard from experts like dr. Fauci that the Pfizer Vaccine worked so well its good news for the u. S. Because they all target the spike protein. The covid19 vaccine could the fastest vaccine ever made. Most take more than five years to develop some are worried about being first in line for a fast track vaccine. Reporter locked down in Silicon Valley for her and her family, everything changed in march and has stayed the same. The thought of taking a vaccine that has been fast tracked is more unsettling than continuing to be closed off i am not going to be in a hurry to take something i dont know how will affect me or my kids or family we dont know what other side effects it will have and how it will affect us reporter she and her family take vaccines in general but the covid one is different and she is not alone in her fears. Poll after poll show half of americans surveyed are hesitant to take the vaccine when it first rolls out. Some say it has rolled out too quickly and we dont know what the longterm effects might be how do you address those concerns i understand where that is coming from, but i trust in the scientific process vaccines arent knew they have been used for a long time i understand peoples anxiety about this, but if you look at me and my results, hopefully that will shed some comfort on the outcome. Reporter but while she may long for the life she once had, she is willing to wait a little longer for the peace of mind i do believe in being safe than sorry reporter better safe than sorry she says and that is a top medical priority for professionals. Informed people are wary thank you the Trump Administration is refusing to recognize joe biden as president elect that means mr. Biden is not receiving millions of dollars in transition funding and briefings and more consider this picture was snapped, president obama welcoming President Trump to the white house. It is a long tradition in the transition of power. What is the Biden Transition Team missing out on . President elect joe biden said he is confident his team will not be missing out on too much as a result of this decision by the General ServicesDivision Even though that may mean they dont have access to certain federal funds and he wont have access to the classified White House Daily briefing we can get through without the funding. We are in a position that we feel very good about there is nothing that slows up our efforts to put things together obviously the pdb would be useful, but it is not necessary. So we dont see anything slowing us down, quite frankly it also means no meetings with Trump Officials on what might be happening within the agency. There are talks about the september 11th report that cited the delayed transition back in the year 2000. They said at that time the delayed transition caused the incoming Bush Administration not to get all of their officials in place and that was just a few months before the inauguration it is projected that thom tillis wins nomination that makes the two georgia races sky high as the Senate Majority hangs in the balance the Trump Administration cannot find the parents of 666 Migrant Children separated from parents.

They said they found about 500 including 200 queens in varying stages of life it was a relatively small nest now they say they have about 1,000 volunteers on the ground hunting four additional nests. They say they dont believe they are too widespread i am still cautiously optimistic if i told you we had 17 hits in 17 counties i would say the genie is out of the bottle but right now its just us and British Columbia reporter you may remember there were feeling a tree with Carbon Dioxide and cutting it open while their sting is painful, but unless you walk on a nest you are not in danger.

This bothered him so much he set out to fix it. How he is helping out our heroes right after our birth of our second child we quickly realized we were out of space when this nurse and her husband veteran were ready to buy a home, they opted for a va mortgage it was a struggle. Long days of phone calls it became quite the challenge. They offer low down payment and low Interest Rates but they take about 92 days to close and in todays competitive market, sellers dont want to wait that long it is not fair for them to lose out on living the american dream. In 2012 he and his wife put in an offer on a home. The seller didnt want to deal with the red tape of dealing with a va lonan, so the denied my offer. His team connect veterans with lenders of all backgrounds. We are built on cuttingedge technology which lets us do it better, faster and cheaper and there is a guarantee if the mortgage isnt ready in 30 days, they will close. That turns the buyers bid into an all cash bid essentially. It helped. And they were closed in 26 days. It was a enthusiastic phone conversation the words was boom, we did it. Money does talk reporter danielle fountain says all cash offers equate to fast closings and that makes all of the difference. Even for her client who is not using financing.
