Are coming back positive. And then in the most severe case, wyoming, more than half of the tests show coronavirus infection. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. What could be im quoting the mother of all superspreader events but the majority of americans show theyre heeding the cdc guidance to not travel. 61 changed the plans. Nearly 1 in 10 say they wont celebrate thanksgiving at all. Several Million People are not staying home. The one thing we do not want is if we get a surge now, george, over thanksgiving well have that slope up plateau and then slope up again that well see in three weeks which is a reason why were trying to hard to get the message for people to be careful over this thanksgiving holiday. In new york the governor is warning the rise in the number of new daily coronavirus cases is only going to get worse. New york city mayor deblasio said he predicts bars, jims and Indoor Dining will be closed within weeks. A hot spot is staten island. Emergency beds are filling up and prompted the state to reopen a mobile covid19 hospital facility. Thats where Shimon Prokupecz is reporting from. Reporter a lot of concern with the number of people hospitalized because of the coronavirus. The hospitals here have not seen this number of cases of people hospitalized in almost six months. They have tripled the number of hospitalization in the last three weeks and so they have opened this facility here behind me here to try to relieve some of the burden on the hospitals here on staten island. Thank you so much. Now to the west coast where the case count is spiking once again in california. The states Top Health Official reports the average over the past week is 12,500. In Los Angeles County theres restrictions to stop the spread and where Stephanie Elam has this story from. Reporter as of 10 00 local time tonight, there will be no more Outdoor Dining in Los Angeles County. This comes as the Los Angeles CityCouncil Voted overwhelmingly to allow Outdoor Dining to continue pointing to the fact of no express data that shows that Outdoor Dining is leading to a spread of coronavirus. However the board of supervisors defeated this idea deciding to go along with Health Officials saying any time people are outside for a prolonged period people not from the household thats a danger. This as we see california log its Record Number of cases and also seeing a rise here in the number of deaths in Los Angeles County. Stephanie elam, thank you for that. Despite the warnings of spreading coronavirus, millions of americans are traveling for the thanksgiving holiday. Health Officials Say the risk is less about a flight but a large familiar gathering. Rosa flores is at miami with a look at the numbers. Reporter millions of americans are expected to travel this Holiday Season. See people here at Miami International airport are wearing the masks. More than 621,000 passengers are going to crisscross this airport during a 12day period during thanksgiving. That is a 59 decrease compared to last year. This as the United States shatters its hospitalization record recording more than 88,000 hospitalizations yesterday. Brianna . Thank you for that report from Miami International. One icu doctor is pleading with the community saying he doesnt want to be the last person to look in your frightened eyes. He posted online simulating the final moments of the covid moemtds when they struggle to breathe. This is what it looks like when you breathe 40 times a minute, at an oxygen level dipping well below 80. This is what it will look like. I hope that the last moments of your life dont look like this. I promise you, this is what your mother or your father or your children when they get covid disease will see at the end of their life. This is serious. And dr. Ken remy joining us from st. Louis. Hes a researcher at washington university. That is hard to watch, doctor. I think that is hard for a lot of people to watch and it drives home the stakes because youre not talking about them but their loved ones. Tell us what led you to record this. Ive just seen too many people die and lose their life from this disease and frankly after calling almost 11 families last week and telling their loved ones in the middle of the night that the loved one passed or died its just real difficult to continually do this and the only way that i know outside of when you get to the icou to protect your life is to keep you out of the icu and prevent you from gettingi the diseases in first place. We had a patient pass away and saw the sadness in any colleagues eyes and i grabbed the equipment and went and made this video, frankly, if nothing more than to just show folks what it might look like come boog the intensive care unit and have covid disease and while we head to the Holiday Season some folks heed the wonderful messages that dr. Fauci and others have put forth for prevention including wearing a mask and social distancing and washing your hands. You told us you called 11 families in the last week to tell them that their loved one had died. And you i can hear it in your voice. You are the witness to unbearable pain. Thats part of the role as it is to try to keep people alive, right, and to be with them in their final moments and begging people to follow safety guidelines. What do you want them to do . I want them to know first and foremost that the health care professionaling take care of them yesterday and tomorrow and give the loved ones as much dignity and humanity to offer them if in fact they near the end but my hope is that we can get to a place where everyone realizes that its much more comfortable to wear a piece of cloth on your face than it is for me to put a piece of plastic into your airway and save your life or that will be towards the end of your life and i dont want to see that anymore and have to make those phenomenon calls to the frequency that we are currently doing so if nothing more im just hopeful that as we move forward everyone can heed these warnings so that we can at least reduce transmission because the Health Professionals are fatigued, the community is fatigued and got to say this is the best we can do while we wait for the fantastic and hopeful vaccines coming down the pike very shortly. Look. We just put up the numbers how a lot of people are changed the thanksgiving plans. But the bad news is a lot of people have not. You know, doctor, that there will be people having thanksgiving tomorrow, having their meal and going and traveling to see someone whos not in their immediate household. I know so many people who are doing this who otherwise are pretty careful when it comes to coronavirus. What can they do . Right . Theyre going. Theres nothing, nothing thats going to stop them and going to see the family members. What can they do in that environment . Is that it . Theyve made the decision. If they see their family members and not part of their normal social bubble they have to maintain that distance. It is easy to be complacent to take off the mask among those people that you love but because you dont see them that often theres the opportunity that you may infect or be infected by the people you love on this planet than anyone else and wash down your surfaces, wash your hands frequently. Wear that mask when youre in that company for more than 15 minutes. I know it is not ideal but it could save the life of that person that you want to give thanks with and more importantly coming out of a location make sure that youre vigilant to see if you have symptoms of covid or that you quarantine yourself if someone does become infected so youre not a superspreader to where you go back from that point and another consideration might be i know that when we get to 2021 we hopefully return normalcy to this country with this disease. Perhaps we celebrate thanksgiving in february. We dont in person with each other. Perhaps thats what we need to do because i would much rather be with my family members when theyre going to be alive and not perhaps spread disease to them right now because the stakes are just too high and so i would implore folks to at least follow the recommendations. They do work. But we have got to adhere to them and not become complacent. I think christmas in summer for my family, right . Australian style christmas or something. Doctor, thank you so much for being with us. Thank you so much. Contrast of two president s in the next hour. President elect biden will deliver a holiday address as his predecessor is refusing to concede. Now that biden will finally get the president ial intel briefing what should he expect to hear . We have former cia drkt or the brennan joining us next and rolling the resumes on senator r rubios attack on bidens cabinet picks. This is cnns special live coverage. Ubway® app did i just get picked off by Deion Sanders . You sure did now in the app, get a free footlong when you buy two. Because its footlong season™ tonight, try pure zzzs all night. Unlike other sleep aids, our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. And longer. Zzzquil pure zzzs all night. Fall asleep. Stay asleep. President elect joe biden says his team has been getting sincere cooperation of federal agencies. And now we know that biden is set to receive his first classified intelligence briefing known as the president s daily brief on monday. These specific gel briefings not held up by the gsa but by trump himself only the white house can grant access to this level of intelligence and President Trumps green light is a significant and public signal of what has happened, that joe biden has won the presidency. Joining me is former cia director john brennan. Thank you for being with us. Sure, brianna. So we know obviously the specifics are classified. We are not expecting to learn whats in the pdb but give us a general sense of the categories, the way this is going to go. What is president elect biden going to learn through the pdb on monday . President elect biden should receive the same pdb thats delivered to donald trump and the other senior members of the National Security environment in the current administration. The pdb is a list of about six or eight articles, some might deal with breaking developments related to terrorist threats or worrisome developments in hot battlefields of iraq, afghanistan or syria or somalia. Could be dealing with issues that deal with russia or children in terms of ongoing engagements we might have with them on various fronts so it is a collection of items, some near termts but also looking out over the horizon and making sure that a president and Vice President and others are fully informed of some of these National Security concerns as well as developments to Pay Attention to. You said its the same pdb as President Trump but the way that President Trump receivered the pdb changed since president obama, since president george w. Bush behind him because he actually when it comes to how much information hes maybe briefed on in person or how much hes relied on to read because he is sort of oppositional to reading as much as other president s have, is that going to affect the pdb that the president elect gets . He should receive the same written pdb and the pdb is a written document that is delivered to the key customers. It is frequently augmented with Additional Information that a briefer will orally convey to a president and Vice President and others and so that wherein document though is the written document of record used to make sure that a president is fully expected so i president elect former Vice President biden and president elect biden will receive the written document as well as will probably sit down with a briefer who will deliver that document and then some back and forth between president elect biden and the briefer about either the articles that are included in that pdb or other issues that might be of importance to the president elect. Maybe thats the part thats going to look different. I wonder what you think as the President Trump administration moves out and the Biden Administration moves in. Are you confident the Trump Administration is going to hand over all of the term thmaterial . Im thinking of transcripts of phone calls that President Trump had and the like. Im confident that the professionals in the National Security agencies and deptsd departments will do their best to ensure that the incoming team needs everything it needs. Im not confident that some of the individuals that mr. Trump put in place will make available. So again i think the institutions nems and the professionals within the institutions will carry out the responsibilities the way they should but i dont know whether or not mr. Trump will give directives that could undermine the very important transition process. You think that when avril haines goes in she should be prepared to not get everything from the outgoing dni ratcliffe . Ratcliffe i think demonstrated that he is willing to politicize his position on behalf of donald trump and so therefore i dont know whether or not there are notes or memos or other type of things to reveal that type of politicization where he may not want to have other people see. I think the professionals in the Intelligence Community including the director of office of National Intelligence will try to make sure avril has what she needs. What is in your view the biggest threat that biden faces over the next four years . In addition to the covid pandemic and trying to repair the u. S. Economy the real threat or challenge is having to deal with multiple National Security challenges abroads. There are big power relations with russia, for example, on the issue of ukraine. As well as trying to restart the Nuclear Arms Reduction talks with moscow. On china theres cyber, theres trade, issues relatted to chinese aggressiveness of hong kong and maybe taiwan. Theres iraq and afghanistan and reduced number of transportation there and issues of proliferation involving north korea and iran. There are issues related to the rise of authoritarian leadership and the impact of climate change. The challenge for the Biden Administration is dealing with the issues simultaneously and dealing with issues on the domestic front. Any of these threats including terrorism can pop up overnight but i think joe biden has assembled a very, very talented and experienced team to address the issues well as he takes office. So obviously you have praised so far the cabinet choices heard by the president elect. There is one name under consideration for cia director consideration, mike morel. He was acting cia director in 2013. Oregon senator said he will vote against morel as a torture apoll gist. I dont know who will be tapped to head up the cia. I worked with michael morel for decades and talented and competent and i think ron widen that takes the blind ideological views and unfortunately hes unfairly smeared a lot of the intelligence professionals over the years, he would be well advised to not make such charges against patriots like michael morel who sacrificed much for this country so i think ron widen knows not of what he speaks. Sources tell cnn that President Trump is considering a pardon for his former National Security adviser Michael Flynn and other pardons. Flynn pleaded guilty of lying to the fbi and tried to withdraw that plea. What is your reaction to the consideration of the president . I think its not surprising. Donald trump is going to be handing out a number of pardons to his lackeys. As well as look for ways that he is able to pardon himself or get mike pence to be elevated and to pardon donald trump himself. Again, donald trump has no respect for the law, for the judicial system. Hes trying to ma anyplace lat it just for his own personal benefit and ends and so therefore i think we still have a long way to go until we reach january 20th so i do think there are some very legitimate concerns of what he can do before he departs the oval office. Elevate mike pence, what are you saying . There is debate about whether or not a president can pardon himself. It is not expolice sitly precluded in the constitution but i think its dubious and would have to go to the courts but if donald trump is really tripi trying to protect himself, if mike pence is president for a brief period of time he should issue a pardon to donald trump. Who knows what lurks in the mind of donald trump but we have to be prepared for a number of surprises to come before he departs. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you.

Recent ones is messages of respect, humility, loving enemies. These are important themes. But rubios daily devotions are often onetwo punches accompanied by judgments or attacks. On tuesday just before he quotes proverbed and folks not to rejoice when the enemies fall he went after president elect joe bidens first nominees saying the cabinet picks went to Ivy League Schools, attend all the right conferences and will be to litd caretakers of americas decline i support american greatness and no interest in returning to the normal that left us dependent on china. Theres a debate to be had. Right . This includes ideologies that guide each party on policy and that would include u. S. And klein relations but rubio is also going after bidens picks for being educated and qualified and networking with people who know about the fields they are leading in. This is what theyre doing. Its a rejection of experience that permeated the Republican Party before President Trump and for someone poking at Ivy League Educations he fails the note that biden will be the first president in four decades without one, without an Ivy League Education and Kamala Harris the first Winning Ticket without ivy stripes so look at President Trumps administration which for four years has been at the helm of the american greatness that rubio champions. Its full of people that went to Ivy League Schools, harvard, yale, trump himself. Jared kushner whose portfolio eclipses his expertise went to harvard. In the price of admission the book of how quote the rich buy the underachieving childrens way in it was revealed that kushners attendance followed his father donating 2. 5 million to the school. They deny theres a connection. Rubios chief of staff went to Stanford Business school. Its arguably as difficult to get into as Harvards Business School and the former Campaign Manager taught at George Washington university and touts himself as a speaker at harvard. The president for four years helmed the american greatness that rubio talks about in the tweet and considers it among the greatest accomplishment even 50 years after graduation. You know, i went to the Wharton School of business. Ivy league school. The best Business School i think. I went to an ivy league college. A nice student. I did very well. Im a very intelligent person. Im an ivy i went to the Wharton School of business. Im like a smart person. We have people running this country who are stupid. Theyre stupid. I went to an ivy league. Im very highly educated. Rubios dig at Ivy League Schools is an attack on elitist which is a conversation that can be had but this is where education standing in as the pumpi punching bag. White democrats are considerably more likely to be College Educated than white Republican Voters and as democrats struggle to bridge that divide for years republicans Even Ivy League educated ones tried to exploit it. We have a president who i think is a nice guy but he spent too much time at harvard perhaps. I didnt read about the economy reading about it or reading about it. Ironically mitt romney spent more time at harvard than obama did. He was a businessman and earn ds two degrees to obamas one and of the 1,300 students in romneys class, 3 of his sons went to harvard. Among the political elite it is not real this outrage of being educated. It is to score points at the expense of the good of the country. Take coronavirus where Scientists Say living temporarily with restrictions keep fellow americans alive. We getz this from the republican governor of south dakota with no restrictions are in place and 43 of the tests came back positive last week. We are not and will not be the subjects of an elite class of socalled experts. We the people are the government. Remember this as governor noem feigns the disdain of learning about something. She doggedly pursued a College Education years after it was interrupted when her dad passed away and took over the Family Business and received intern credits. Which is perhaps the best internship ever and spoke at a South Dakota State University commencement before she graduated from the school in 2011. Her education meant a lot to her. There used to be an intellectual center on the right espousing principles which you may not agree with. Individual responsibility and limited government and the basis for an actual debate in the country how to gompb america, on what america can achieve with the influence. Republicans in power have banished their own principles and focused on what . Tearing things down. Like education, expertise, science, facts that will keep americans safe. How can america have a reasoned policy debate when some members of one party, many members of one party have said coronavirus is a hoax . When they wont acknowledge reality. Like senator rubio who has not yet acknowledged that joe biden won the election. Rubio attended a fine fouryear institution himself, the university of florida and he takes a cheap shot at people who have a very important job, too. Who are only now receiving the first transition briefings in the last day because President Trump and most republicans havent acknowledged they won the election unless you plan to do that, senator rubio. I want to talk with commentator se cupp who is i apologize. Congratulations. What is your reaction to this . Because on one hand theres a conversation to be had about elitism. But this tweet really appears to be taking aim at expertise and education. Its just so dumb. As you point out marco rubio is reliably good for a self own as he was in this tweet but the more important point i think that you allude to is this antiintellectualism and antiexperience project thats been cloaked in conservative populism over decades is lazy and also dangerous, especially right now during a pandemic. We have seen what a lack of expertise means in real lives. So i think nows exactly the time that youd want people who know what theyre doing. That does not have to mean they come from great educational backgrounds. It has to mean you have the right people in the right jobs. Ben carson, very smart guy, has done very little in housing and urban development because he has very little experience. Rex tillerson, an engineer by trade, probably not the right guy for secretary of state. So its about finding the right people and i think thats what joe biden is committed to regardless of the dumb swipes. Maybe understanding what average americans are going through. Right . What are working class americans dealing with . This is something that the democrats need to grapple with. They did cede some of that territory in when Hillary Clinton lost. And can you speak to that a little bit . This is an important debate to have about being out of touch or understanding what people are going through. Sure. That can happen regardless of your education. Yes. We saw that in obama administration, talking over or down to people. Barack obama accused of that when he said during his campaign of people in the middle of the country that cling to the guns and religion. That didnt go over well so thats real but nothing to do with someones background or education. Slamming someone for having gone to an Ivy League School as an attack is really again, theres not a better word for it its dumb. It really is just dumb. Thats a you know, simple ivy league word. Simple can be the best ones. Before you go, this talk of a republican to serve on joe bidens cabinet, what is your thought on that . What do you think would be a good fit or candidate . I think youll get one or two. Kasich or flake. Senator cindy mccain, widow of jm, john mccain, i think is a good betts. They have a great relationship and could be an interesting one. All right. Well watch. Great to see you. Thank you so much. Happy thaflg. You, too. Just in, new cnn reporting on preparation for the inauguration including what the president can hear every day outside of his bedroom window. A covid adviser on why experts warn people theyll feel sick after getting the vaccine. This just in. New cnn reporting on the pandemic. Preparations for president elect joe bidens inauguration. Apparent apparently President Trump can hear sounds of construction for the inauguration from the white house bedroom window but this will not be a typical inauguration and plenty of tweaks being made with an eye to Public Health and safety and joining me now to talk about this we have cnn White House Correspondent kate bennett. Hello. Tell us who the president ial inauguration pomp and circumstance is different this time around. Incredibly different. The irony of having the stage, the main platform in front of the white house being built the past few weeks in earshot of President Trump is sort of a crazy scenario but allison fox reporting that things are different, the typical platform with vips and cabinet members is probably not going to happen. There may not be a flier. The annual luncheon in statutory hall will probably not happen and trying to figure it out in covid but the biden team is especially tasked with having this moment in history feel as reverent and important as tshds while still abiding the science of preventing covid spread, 1. 8 Million People turned up in washington when obama was sworn in on inauguration day. Crowd control, virtual, this is considered in the era of covid. Yeah, no. Theres parts of the process that happen indoors, how do they sa sa safeguard those parts of the procession. After biden takes power in january President Trump is expected to relocate to maralago, the florida resort home, there are renovations to accommodate his postpresidency needs. Things are under way for maralago. Maralago is fairly well already established, rooms and practicing as the president has been down there for his winter white house but certainly they will be living there more often and the residence and things are taking place right now in terms of decoration, up dating, getting prepared to welcome them back to florida. And set up what will be of obviously his home base. All right. Kate, thank you so much. Great reporting. President elect biden will deliver a thanksgiving message live.

Australias National Airline carrier qantas, will require future International Travelers to prove they have been vaccinated against coronavirus before flying. Richard quest has more.

Theyre doing something similar with a typhoid and yellow fever paper. The goal with the vaccinate will be make it digitally secured, so it cant be forged, it cant be interrupted, theres integrity of information. Once they have done that, everyone will be vaccinated before they travel. Richard, thank you so much for that. We do expect to hear from president elect joe biden any minute now as he gives what his team is calling a thanksgiving address. Hes expected to weigh in on the Holiday Season, the pandemic and what comes next. We will bring that to you live. But we didnt stop there.

Theyre blaming covid exposure for that cancellation. We begin at this critical moment in time, america a nation of contrasts. A contrast of two president s, the lame duck today refusing to concede the election he lost
