Steps to fight back the second wave. Closing the valve as covid infections soar, cities issue new restrictions on restaurants, bars, and gyms. And action. Plus, hollywood is back the show must go on. We cant rehearse like we used to. Youll see the new normal behind the scenes. Livefrom cnbc global headquarters, the facts. The truth. The news with Shepard Smith. Good evening again. The pandemic is raging across the nation shattering record after record day after day many of our hospitals are overwhelmed. Our Health Care Workers at the breaking point and now cities and states are threatening lockdowns. The u. S. Reported another 153,000 new cases just yesterday, an alltime high. Cases were bad in april, worse in the summer but this rise is much different and the chart is still going up over the past ten days Johns Hopkins reports weve added nearly 1. 3 million cases when the pandemic began it took the u. S. More than three months to hit that number now ten days hospitals are filling up just yesterday 67,000 people in hospitals sick with covid. Thats from the covid tracking project. Its a spread like we have never seen this week the virus is killing nearly 1,000 people in america every day, but the experts warn it will get worse. Researchers at the university of washington now project if we continue on this path, nearly 439,000 of us will be dead by march. So far covid has killed 242,000 people nationwide. We have coverage of the pandemic from coast to coast. First to nbcs ron allen in new york city where the mayor is warning all Public Schools could shut down by monday. Ron . Reporter shep, yeah. Closing schools here would be a big, huge setback. Its the largest Public School system in history and one that opened for in Person Learning a couple of months ago things have been going relatively well. The covid numbers here have been setting off alarm bells, especially the number of people testing positive its not as bad back in march and april when new york was the epicenter. Officials are stepping in now to try to stop that from happening. The irony and a lot of parents are set because the numbers of tests in the schools that are turning up positive was very low compared to the rest of the city heres what the mayor had to say about that the testing shows very few people have tested positive in our schools. Thats a great blessing, but when you see the rest of the city unfortunately experiencing this generalized problem, weve got to act out of an abundance of caution. Reporter also across new york state tonight bars, restaurants, gyms are closing at 10 p. M that curfew imposed because contact tracers have been able to determine that a lot of late night activity in new york, a city that never sleeps, for example, is spreading covid. The cause of some of these outbreaks. Theyre shutting things down at 10 00. Theyre trying to limit private gatherings to ten in peoples homes, especially with thanksgiving coming up, to try and stop the spread. Drastic measures here in new york state. Ron, thanks keep in mind, new york is doing very well compared to most states covid testing Positivity Rate below 3 in illinois its four times that, 13 on average over the past week the number of new cases topping 15,000 for the first time today the governor warning illinois could be headed for another stay at home order if they cant get this virus under control in chicago the mayor is urging residents to cancel thanksgiving plans and stay home for the next 30 days. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is there. Reporter shep, chicago saw more than 12,000 new covid cases just this week the mayor says the situation is dire the number of covid deaths has tripled here over the last month. Now starting monday that new stay at home advisory takes effect and the mayors urging people not to have any gatherings of more than ten people, that includes thanksgiving and there is a lot of push back here from some in the Business Community who feel that this will be devastating for their bottom line. Some new restrictions on business went into effect last month but that has not stemmed the rise in covid cases here we just spoke with one Restaurant Owner who says that the Restaurant Industry as we know it is dead. Now today there were several more communities in the suburbs of cook county that also imposed a stay at home advisory. Again, the number of cases here in chicago is rising and it is one of the major cities looking at some tough decisions over the coming weeks shep gabe, its worse in wisconsin, or i should say in illinois 16 positivity over the last week and today some hospitals are completely full. No room for anyone, and with covid cases rising and flu season beginning, doctors say that could spell disaster. Nbcs cal perry is in madison. We are setting new daily highs in the state today over 7,700 new cases were seeing more cases here in the state of wisconsin than we did in new york city when new york city was at its peak. Its what has doctors incredibly at concerned local media is reporting that there are some hospitals in the state that are at capacity the one behind me is trying to avoid getting to capacity by opening up extra wings theyve opened up two covid wings in just the last two weeks. What has officials concerned and especially the governor is that people will, of course, celebrate thanksgiving with their extended family. Its why he has put in an order for people to stay home. It is not a legally binding order. Doctors here are begging people to do a virtual thanksgiving we heard a doctor tell us last week be careful of who invite to your thanksgiving dinner, that person may not be there for christmas. West coast, california, oregon, washington are all issuing a joint travel advisory. That happened today. The state is urging a 14 day quarantine for anybody visiting in that area partial lockdowns are back in oregon new mexico, too. Theres a stay at home order for the next two weeks oregon shutting gyms and restaurant dining. In california, this is dodgers stadium transformed into a testing site lines wrapping around the place over the past few days nbcs Meagan Fitzgerald is live there. Meagan, is that stadium equipped to handle this surge well, shep, the answer the short answer is yes. The state feels that testing is the way to try to slow the spread of this virus what theyve done at dodgers stadium is expand the hours so they can accommodate more people thats consistent with what were seeing across the state at different testing locations. Here at dodgers stadium theyre testing some 13,000 people a day, and thats important because california is surging. The state Health Department telling us that they have seen the single day daily covid cases doubling in the last month and hospitalizations are up 30 . The concern, as weve been reporting, is that thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, rather, and theyre concerned that people will go to others houses, that theyll gather. So thats why the state is saying, look, now is not the time to let up its important to social distance its important to wear your mask its important to celebrate and see people through virtual means as opposed to in person because the biggest concern here is that this virus will continue to spread shep Meagan Fitzgerald on california in mississippi, its even worse. Almost 16 covid testing Positivity Rate and now there is not one single icu bed available in the entire capital city of jackson. Statewide in mississippi hospitalizations are at the highest level in 2 1 2 months. We have the mayor of jackson, mississippi. Mr. Mayor, how close are you there to disaster . Were at acritical stage. As you mentioned, our hospitalization rate is of great concern to us. Were not only the capital city, were the capital of health care here in the state of mississippi. So the decisions that are made on the state level impact the city of jackson and ultimately impact the availability of hospital beds. Mayor, since the pandemic began, mississippi cases and covid deaths per capita are the sixth highest. Gov in our tate reeds daughter is positive. They are in quarantine covid is surging right now yet there is no statewide mask mandate. Have you talked to the governor and can he explain this . My communication with the governor has been as touch and go as the Decision Making that is happening. Touch and go . We have not had consistent communication and there has been there doesnt appear to be a rhyme or reason to some of the decisions to reverse the statewide mask mandates. Here in jackson we have maintained our statewide mask mandate and we have had relative success in that area in the month of october we actually had 11. 4 decrease in the infection rate but that appears to be on the uptick as we know that people are traveling, as we know that we are in the midst of flu season all of these things that we have been warned by the scientists, by the doctors would be affecting us at this time. But were in a need for a uniform strategy on the state and National Level mr. Mayor, Everybody Knows mississippi is poor and mostly rural. The best equipped hospitals in the whole state, a majority of the icu beds are in jackson. People to come to them for hours away from the delta to the coast. How concerned are you for all mississipians . We know covid has not come to discriminate against any one but it has exposed the inequities in our society. People who dont have regular access to our health care are those that are the most susceptible because of Underlying Health conditions so it is a circumstance which is right to take advantage of those conditions here in mississippi and so this may be the epicenter of where we should be most concerned in the absence of a uniform strategy and a proactive strategy. Mayor of jackson, mississippi, thanks for your time and all the best. Russian and north korean government hackers are trying to steal Covid Vaccine research theyre trying to get it from the United States and other countries and companies around the world. That is the warning now from none other than microsoft. One of the companys top Security Experts now reports the hackers have been targeting seven Prominent Companies directly involved in researching vaccines and treatment for covid19 thats as specific as they would be he says that some of the breakins were successful. Microsoft did not share which Companies Got hacked or how serious the instrutrusions were of course russia has denied any involvement. Measles cases around the world at the highest in 14 years. In the United States more cases than in any year since 1992. Health experts say they fear that covid may be the reason because restrictions have disrupted peoples ability to get vaccinated they also say antivaxxers are partly to blame. The other problem, not being able to reach children in rural areas. World leaders are expecting that to be a problem with the Covid Vaccine. Measles deaths are up considerably 50 over the last few years. President trump talking finally, but not about conceding. What he says about covid under his watch. And later, prevention.

President trump spoke pub c publicly for the first time in more than a week as the pandemic rages more than ever before. No concession here he insisted the nation will not lock down to stop the spread ideally we wont go to a lockdown i will not go this administration will not be going to a lockdown. Hopefully the whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be, i guess time will tell, but i can tell you, this administration will not go to a lockdown. Time has already told the next administration will be a Biden Administration as President Trump refuses to concede and cooperate with that incoming administration, his legal challenges keep falling flat in court. The Trump Campaign giving up the fight in Maricopa County in arizona today. The president s own lawyers dropped its lawsuit and called it moot. In the suburbs of philly judges threw out hundrethe claim. The judge said the claims were, quote, not credible and the gop, quote, did not have a full understanding of how vote counting works nbc news confirms the Trump Campaign has shut down its voter fraud hotline after it got flooded with prank calls a recount underway in georgia, a traditionally red state where nbc news projects the former Vice President biden is the apparent winner. Election workers there counting millions of ballots by hand. Aside from georgia, nbc news today called arizona for joe biden and North Carolina for President Trump. So thats the final map right there, and that would give president elect biden 306 electoral votes, the exact same number that President Trump won in 2016 and called it at least 20 times a massive landslide victory. Hallie jackson is at the white house. Wheres the president . Whats the focus right now reporter ostensibly, shep, the white house wants it to be on the coronavirus pandemic which is getting worse as you well know. The president had an operation warp speed meeting and in the rose garden without talking about that as well, but we know that the president s head is elsewhere. It is specifically on his continued claims of voter fraud despite the fact theres no evidence of that that its widespread the president is thinking about perhaps his next steps as well with sources confirming to us that he does have his eye on a run potentially in 2024, at least has his eye on talking about a run in 2024 and potentially the creation of his own news outlet, shep, presumably this one not fake news he spent much of the last 24 hours, we saw this yesterday, going after fox news, shep. Any idea or indication when he might let the transition process begin . Reporter well, thats a good question we dont expect anything imminently here. I will say that based on the conversations that ive had with folks in and around the white house and around the Trump Campaign, if the president is going to acknowledge that he lost, right, even if he doesnt say that he accepts the results and continues to allege that this election was stolen from him despite the fact that it was not, it would be after youre seeing some of the state certifications coming in specifically looking for the certification in arizona, not the call which we got today, but the certification in georgia as well once that recount ends, in pennsylvania, once those are certified. Once those start to build up the president will feel like he has no choice but to acknowledge that based on conversations ive had. Theres a maga march scheduled on washington tomorrow. Yes. Last i heard there was no permitting for that. That could get dicey the president says he may drop by reporter potentially weve seen him do these before im thinking back to walter reed when he was hospitalized but did a drive by past his supporters Nothing Official on his schedule i will say, shep, i heard back the permit has been issued theyre looking at 10,000 people marching from freedom plaza, according to the permit, over to the Supreme Court in a demonstration that is pro President Trump and some of the speakers, conservative names that you would recognize congresswoman Marjorie Taylor green who is a qanon supporter and there will be a letter red from general flynn too. Hallie jackson at the white house. Thanks. As the Trump Administration leaves the biden transition mostly in the dark, doctors close to that transition are developing their own plans to mass distribute a Covid Vaccine. Nbc news reports bidens advisers are worried that the outgoing administrations planning will leave them unprepared when they take over the fight against covid. Cnbcs Kayla Tausche covering the biden transition kayla, the president elect received a briefing from his Coronavirus Task force today and said it was alarming do we know any details reporter well, shep, the doctors advising the president elect shared good news and bad news today the good news was on vaccines and therapeutics the bad news was on the sheer statistics of the virus. The record daily case count. The rising deaths. The hospitals at Surge Capacity and the protective gear in short supply despite this acceleration, biden advisers tempered expectations for a national lockdown. After a third advisor suggested something to that ilk earlier this week. Today in separate interviews they advocated targeted and nuanced closures the transition is working behind the scenes to prepare itself for this vaccine to come on the market which could dovetail with the inauguration time line pfizer is briefing both the incoming and outgoing administrations and ive learned that the biden team is talking with cvs and walgreens about distribution and has been doing so for several months even preceding the election even so, bidens Senior Advisor told supporters that the lack of classified information, which lets remind everyone the discussions by the Coronavirus Task force in the situation room, theyre classified, saki said the lack of that information for their team is hampering the effort you need real time information to deal with crises of the moment. There are areas so on the covid front like access to ongoing work on distribution plans, vaccine development, that engagement directly with the agencies would significantly help our preparations to govern. Reporter a current member of the Trump Administrations task force, shep, tells me that they are planning to provide an on ramp to operation warp speed for the Biden Administration, but that plan wont get underway until the General Services administration makes a call.

Time for the top of the news nearly every state in america seeing an alarming increase in coronavirus cases. Testing sites under stress now new questions about how accurate some results really are. Elon musk says he has coldlike symptoms and got four rapid covid tests today. Two were positive, two were negative according to him, if its happening to me, its happening to others. Cnbcs meg tirrell covers medicine and biotechnology for us shes on the top story at the bottom of the hour meg, these tests, were all taking them. Are they accurate . Reporter well, shep, theyre not perfect. So what elon musk said he used was whats known as an antigen tests. One of these tests that can return results in as little as 15 minutes they do come with the risk of false positives and false negatives. Being told youve got covid when you dont or that youre free and clear when youre actually not. The fda cautions about this in particular saying if people suspected of having covid get a negative test they should take another test to confirm the result theres another test called molecular or pcr test. The draw back is they typically take a lot longer to provide results, days or even weeks when Testing Systems are overwhelmed and theres evidence, of course, that that is starting to happen now as cases surge so much in the u. S. Now a lot of people ask about the deep nasal swabs versus shallow ones versus saliva test. Those are all different methods of collecting the samples. Theyve all been proven to work. What kind of test should you get . If you are sick, a pcr test is better, but you can also take an antigen test if you get a surprising result, you should take a different test, not the same one again, to confirm it if used on a massive scale, rapid antigen tests could help curb the pandemic but there has to be a strategy for using them. Were not using them efficiently in this country. Even the tests that are out there, theyre being used in a haphazard inefficient fashion when they could be being used in a very coordinated fashion in a strategic way to actually be useful to curb this epidemic. Hes hopeful that the Biden Administration will do it differently. Shep. Meg, thank you. The cdc confirms masks protect both you and others around you masks can slow the spread. Scientific fact. One more state now heeding that advice west virginias republican governor, jim justice, requiring masks for everyone inside public buildings in that state. That issued that way 16 states do not have mask requirements something president elect joe biden and his could he vied Advisory Team hope to change i think unfortunately masks have been overly politicized it would be like politicizing the use of toilet paper. This is just a basic hygenic measure. Nice analogy. We know masks are good not all masks are created equal. Cnbcs Contessa Brewer is live with what we all need to know. Hi, contessa. Reporter hi, shep. Eight months into this, if you are like plea you have dozens of different kinds of masks as we plan for the holidays, what are the best masks to protect ourselves, to protect our loved ones i asked nor feedback from the experts at john hopkins. It certainly becomes a measure of personal expression. Reporter i have masks for tv, disposable surgical masks. Kn 95. Homemade mask from cousin shirley. Bioscarf with n 95. I think all of that is fine as long as its a multilayer mask that fits over your nose and your mouth and under your chin and doesnt gap around the sides. President elect joe biden often is seen wearing two masks. More sometimes seems like it would be better but really having one mask thats worn properly will protect you and protect others. But some masks dont pass muster like thin single layer masks, gators, bandanas, or masks with a builtin vent and what about those face shields . The face shield provides eye protection and a degree of protection for your whole face, but you should not rely on the face shield to be a protection. For kids, comfort and fit are crucial. Finally, do we have to wear masks if were outside and socially distanced we suggest you wear a mask whenever youre with others who are not in your household. Reporter the cdc warns us not to put masks on babies younger than 2 and not to use masks intended for Health Care Workers like n 95 respirators. That means medical grade equipment. The folks at Johns Hopkins advise if you find n 95 masks for sale on the market, go ahead, protect yourself. Protect yourself for sure great to see you, contessa thanks.

Its the most 2020 thing of today, a massive alligator four legged tail whipping around on a golf course in florida, of course look at this bohemoth. Jurassic park looking thing having its way on Valencia Country Club i want you to meet christy crobuth, gator girl. I used to live in florida for a long time. I lived in an apartment complex. There was a gator that lived on lake side. That was normal. We went out on boats in the everglades but i have never seen anything this big. You really think thats real i think its real theyre out there. Ive seen huge ones. The biggest one i ever caught was 12 1 2 feet. Thats ginormous theyre out there. Was it because of the storm there was that Tropical Storm going crazy in naples. Is that the thinking it could be you know, years back here when we had Hurricane Harvey and the water rose, it pushed alligators everywhere it could be. Its also getting close to the al gators hibernation season so he could be looking for a din under the water to hunker down for the winter seasons yeah, you know, thats not the kind of thing youd normally see on a golf course i mean, people golf every day in florida. I want to listen lookand listen to this chill guy whos videoing it. Hes not moved at all. This guy out for a stroll. This guy out for a stroll like he wasnt even phased by it you wouldnt be either, right . No. Ive worked with hundreds of alligators and im in texas. We have alligators all over the place but still when i see one, oh, my gosh, i still take a photo of them. I think theyre amazing animals. We have video of you up here. Do not try this at home. Ive seen you kiss them. Thats thats oh, you have to no, i dont. Thats my way of apologizing for the catch. You put them through so much stress thats my way of saying, hey, its okay. Youre aware theyve occasionally eaten children. Pretty aware. Usually not. Usually not. Is there a trick . You dont want to get near the tail, is that part of it you dont want to get close state laws are stay 20 feet away if you do see one, back away slowly, give it its space. Tail and mouth, stay away. Put him up there again. I wondered at first, christi, if this gator girl, i wondered if it was the angle from which they shot the video, but then you see that little golf thing a ma jig and you realize that thing is i just i have a hard time believing this, you know, here in the thats what i thought, too, the angle. Just like fishing stories when people fish and they put it out here to make it look bigger. If youre on the ground and you take a picture upwards of that alligator its going to make them bigger. When they stand up to walk they stand on all fours that gives them two feet in the air. When you see those big guys, theyre big. They can get big. Gator girl, christy crobuth, thank you for your time. You, too, shep. Thank you. 60 seconds left on a race to the finish it never ends.
