With norah odonnell, reporting from the n brennan good evening, and thank you for joining us. Norah is off tonight. Im Margaret Brennan. There is breaking news tonight on the president ial transition. And we are going to get to that in just a moment. But were going to begin first with the millions of americans ignoring warnings from the c. D. C. Not to travel tonight. A dangerous move that Health Experts are warning will send the deepening crisis into an even faster and deadlier tail spin. Tonight one model used by the white house says americans should expect the death toll to double by the first of march to nearly half a Million People nationwide. With millions already on the road or in the air tonight, part of an estimated 50 million americans expected to travel for thanksgiving, experts say it is guaranteed that cases of coronavirus will soon explode even more than they are right now. More than 3 million americans have been infected since the beginning of the month. That means about one out of every four infections of covid 19 since the pandemic began has happened in just the past three weeks. The country is seeing record numbers of hospitalizations and averaging 1500 deaths every single day, the highest it has been in six months. About the only good news ahead experts say is that another vaccine created by the drug Maker Astrazeneca and oxford university, appears to work. And it could be as much as 90 effective. We have a lot of new reporting for you and your family tonight and our team of correspondents is standing by to cover it all. Cbss kris van cleave is going to lead us off tonight from Reagan National airport. Good evening, kris. Reporter margaret, those recordsetting cases are causing a spike in cancellations at airlines and amtrak but lets be clear. Millions of people are traveling for this holiday and that has doctors worried about the potential of a deadly covid surge just in time for christmas. Tonight images of like this crowded terminal in phoenix have public Health Experts on alert. As covid cases soar, millions are sticking to their thanksgiving travel plans despite the c. D. C. Urging them to stay home. Karyn bryan was met by long lines in l. A. There is a lot more people here than i thought would be here. Reporter more than three million have been screened at t. S. A. Checkpoints since friday, sunday was the busiest day at airports since march 16th. Both of us have been quarantining for the last few weeks and we wanted to see family. Reporter a. A. A. Expects up to 50 million americans to travel. Im very concerned about the number of people who are traveling. This is a recipe for disaster. Reporter lines at Testing Centers continue to get longer across the country, like here in colorado. Im getting tested so i can spend thanksgiving with my mom. The biggest misconception i have heard this entire pandemic is that if i get tested today and am negative, can i see grandma tomorrow. Absolutely not. There is a 2 to 14 day incubation period so if i get infected today, i may not become infectious, able to infect somebody else for two to 14 days. Reporter this as covid fatigue is reaching a dangerous level as people packed into this bar in Fort Lauderdale and crowded this church event in tulsa. But in many states, the pandemic is growing even more dire. Pennsylvania could run out of i. C. U. Beds within a week. More than 3,000 Wisconsin Health care workers signed a letter warning they are on the brink of deciding who gets treated and who doesnt. And just days from thanksgiving the economic fallout of coronavirus is spelled out in long lines of cars at food banks as so many struggle to put a meal on the table this holiday. This is the worst hunger crisis in modern american times and unless the federal government does Something Big and quick, were going to see starvation conditions like this country hasnt seen since the great depression. Reporter dr. Lapook also recommends if you are traveling that you wear a mask whenever you are around people who you dont live with, particularly indoors. And to try to separate the act of thanksgiving eating from thanksgiving socializing, even if that means eating in separate spaces and coming together to socialize and with your masks on and open the doors and windows for extra ventilation. Margaret . Brennan kris, thank you, now on that news on the president ial transition, a Key Trump Administration official has made it official. President elect biden will now have access to the agencies, information and funding he needs to prepare to take office in january. Cbss ben tracy is at the white house. Ben . Reporter margaret, with the g. S. A.

It is time for them to stop the nonsense. Reporter republican resistance to the president s fruitless legal battle is growing. No one has come up with any evidence of fraud or abuse. Reporter today four republican senators expressed their impatience with the president s continued fight and in a pair of open letters 164 leaders of major u. S. Companies including viacom cbs and more than 100 Republican National Security Experts are calling for a transition to president elect biden to begin immediately. With the National Security officials warning President Trumps refusal to permit the president ial transition also poses significant risk to our National Security. And with even republican allies slamming the president s legal team. The president s legal team has been a national embarrassment. Reporter . It is now disavowing one of its own, attorney and qanon supporter sydney powell, she made wild and unsubstantiated claims about election fraud. The Trump Campaign now says powell is not a member of the legal team. And as the White House Christmas tree arrived today, the first family says it plans to carry on with holiday parties despite the surge in coronavirus cases. Now the first ladys office says the guest list for these Holiday Events will be smaller than normal and described attending as a personal choice. Keep in mind that the administrations own Surgeon General has warned holiday gatherings can become superspreader events. Margaret. Brennan ben tracy at the white house.

Not only effective and safe, Clinical Trials show the oxford vaccine even may stop people spreading the virus too, they swab tested volunteers every week and found a reduction in asymptomatic cases, people spreading the disease without knowing they have it. We may have the first vaccine that has been shown to protect against severe disease, clinical disease and against asymptomatic disease. Reporter this may stop the transmission of covid.

In december. About the same timeline predicted for the pfizer and moderna vaccines in the u. S so i would expect maybe on day two after approval, on the 11th or on the 12th of december, hopefully, the first people will be immunized across the united states, across all states. Reporter here is how the three vaccines stack up. Pfizers effectiveness stands at 95 . Moderna 94. 5 , and oxford an average of 70 going up to 90 .
