Live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom with robyn curnow. So, more americans have now tested positive for covid in a single day than at any point in the pandemic. Friday saw the largest number of new cases to date. Almost 228,000 newly infected people. Thats over 10,000 higher than the record set the day before. Now, the virus is so pervasive that u. S. Health Officials Say some people should consider Wearing Masks inside their own homes. Deaths in the u. S. Also have been soaring since thanksgiving. So far this month alone, the virus has killed 11,000 americans. And hospitalizations have never been higher. The covid tracking project said the number of patients being treated in the u. S. Facilities has more than doubles in the past month to over 100,000 patients. We get more now from nick watt. Reporter this week, covid19 is the leading cause of death in america. And its going to get worse. We have not yet seen the postthanksgiving peak. Reporter by the spring, more than 500,000 americans could be dead. And while were all excited about the vaccine, the reality of the model says the vaccine by april 1 will only save about 10,000 to 8,000 deaths. Help is on the way. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. Reporter and in the end, how the administration will handle this hell. Im going to ask the public to mask for 100 days. Reporter masking alone could save tens of thousands of lives. Its cheap and it doesnt shut down the economy. Shutdown or lockdowns are not on the table, at least not from the biden harris team. Reporter today, states must execute their vaccine plans. There may not be enough for longterm care residents and millions of americans. Thats millions and millions of people when you only have a few thousand doses. Reporter and the national recovery, topping. We have a few hundred thousand coming in the line to take this box home and provide it to the families. Unfortunately, this is the last week of the coronavirus assistance places. Reporter in many ways, Public School attendance is down, Distance Learning is just not the same. They were having tantrums. Reporter so the newharts of illinois went in person friday. We had to do a lot of number crunching but we felt it was something we have to do. Reporter the San Francisco bay area is about to go back under a stayathome order. The governor said regions will have to do that if icu capacity reached a critical level. It hasnt up there, but local leaders said we know the numbers are going to get worse, so lets just do it now. Nick watt, cnn, los angeles. Thanks, nick, for that. So face masks, social distancing and other measures will be facts of life in the future. Everyone will still have to remain extra, extra careful about other people. Infectious disease expert dr. Anthony fauci explained why on fridays cnn town hall. Take a listen. Even if you are vaccinated, you may be protected against getting sick, but you may not necessarily be protected against getting infection. You may have virus in your nasal it wouldnt bother you but maybe somebody else. But it could be there. Thats the reason why you cant abandon all Public Health measures. With coronavirus says surging, u. S. President elect joe biden said the government hasnt had a decent plan for distribution. Also the latest jobs numbers are in. And they are not looking good at all. Heres mj lee. Americans need help and they need it now. Reporter a dismal jobs report on friday. Look at a dismal look that joe biden will have on friday. Biden urging congress to immediately take action. The folks out there arent looking for say handout, they just need help. Theyre in trouble through no fault of their own. Were in a crisis. We need to come together as a nation. We need the congress to act and act now. Reporter biden also raising the alarm about vaccine distribution. Things he has not with what he has seen from the trump administration. There is no detailed plan, at least what weve seen, anyway, as to how you get the vaccine out of the container into an injection syringe into somebodys arm. And its going to be very difficult for that to be done and a very expensive proposition. Reporter biden revealing that he asked dr. Anthony fauci to stay on in his government. I asked him to be a chief medical adviser for me as well and be part of the covid team. Reporter fauci said he readily accepted the offer. Absolutely, i said yes on the spot. Reporter now biden indicating trumps attendance would send an important signal. The protocol of the transfer of power i think is important. But its totally his decision and is of no personal consequence to me. But i do think it is to the country. Reporter next year, a closely divided senate awaits biden who he himself served as senator for more than three decades. Some of his former republicans in congress have yet to acknowledge his viekctory. But according to biden its a different story behind the scenes. Is there have been more than several sitting republican senators privately called me to congratulate me. And i understand the situation they find themselves in. And until the election is clearly decided in the minds with the electoral votes, they get put in a very tough position. Reporter now, weve been doing a lot of reporting on the ongoing push for more diversity in bidens cabinet. What were learning theres a lot of lobbying to try to avoid the position that the four top cabinet positions are all appointed with white women and men. Keep in mind, biden has chosen his secretary of state and treasury secretary but outstanding still is his picks to be attorney general as well as defense secretary. But biden telling reporters here in wilmington that hes not going to make commitment when it comes to those two positions but there will be significant diversity in his cabinet when all of the announcements have been made. Mj lee, cnn, wilmington, delaware. President trump will be here in georgia, later today campaigning for republican senators Kenny Leffler and david perdue. Mr. Trumps baseless claims that election rigging are sowing so much doubt in the doubt that conservatives say they dont even want to vote. Well, Vice President mike pence called that out as he campaigned in georgia. And i actually hear some people saying just dont vote. My fellow americans, if you dont vote, they win. So, georgia is drawing a lot of National Attention and donor money. Jeremy diamond has the latest on that. Reporter with georgias special election looming, President Trump and Vice President pence both heading south to defend republican senator majority. But after weeks spent attacking the States November election as fraudulent listen, you have a fraudulent tim. Reporter and railing against Public Officials in charge. Hes an enemy of the people. The secretary of state. The governor has none nothing, hes done absolutely nothing, im ashamed i endorsed it. Reporter trump is worried that the election could depress turnout on the trump faithful. One adviser telling cnn its not helpful if he goes down there and attacks the governor for an hour and a half, but if he goes down there and says the things he needs to say, its helpful. Trump stuck to the attacks. I New York Stock Exchange im frustrated like he is. Weve had a few battles, but nobody worked harder for donald trump before november 3. Reporter while trump refuses to accept joe bidens victory, one of the candidates senator david perdue telling a jewish commission, quote, we know what the change at the top will mean for the foreign relations. If we can keep the majority in the senate, we can at least be a buffer for some of the things the biden camp has been talking about. Meanwhile, trump and his political operation raised over 207 million since the election, after flooding supporters with 400plus fundraising emails falsely claiming the election was rigged. Fundraising appeals ongoing even as binds margin of victory rose to 7 million in the popular vote. After the comments from senator david perdue, perdues spokesman put out a the same saying senator perdue with the election, it is acknowledged that all perdue did is tacitly acknowledge that joe biden will indeed be the president of the United States. In this day and cage, its something thats worthy and requires a cleanup from the republican infighting with the election. Theres no question, theyre both hoping that the president s visit to the state of georgia, the Campaign Rally will help boost the turnout in that state. There are a lot of risks, both perdue and loeffler as im told they both called President Trump before thanksgiving to ask them to come down to the peach state and campaign on their behalf. Thomas gift the university of london, thomas, georgia very pivotal for dems and republicans to control the senate. Is it about turnout again . And who can be relied on to come out to vote . Well, robyn, i think if both Democratic Candidates were to win, that would represent a swing in georgia politics. I do think its an uphill battle. In the past, republicans have shown up and theyve generally outperformed them. Another challenge for democrats there could be an unspoken reluctance to turn over the keys fully to one party. Ultimately as you suggest, its going to be a base mobilization game and a question of who wants it more. Turnout will be lower during the president ial election on november 3 which means the electorate will be more conservative on the democratic side and more liberal on the republican side. It certainly does. In talking about that, team biden is talking up the need for a serious stimulus package and doing business with republicans in congress. We know that joe biden likes to champion his bipartisanship over the many decades hes been in congress. How likely is that, with or without, georgia tipping the power of the scales . Robyn, i think a stimulus package will be a good test to see how progressively biden can get upon board with republicans. Clearly, biden wants system lug stimulus legislation. I think its a hopeful sign that some top key democrats are reportedly backed a stimulus of around 900 billion. Thats considerably scaled back from the 2 trillion that nancy pelosi had been advocating earlier. I think pelosi miscalculated the politics in asking for so much and biden wants to avoid a repeat of that error. I think in all likelihood, both sides will meet somewhere in the middle, extend the Unemployment Benefits and grant aid, so on. I think its a positive sign that many economists had wished had brokered earlier. And many americans, too, are absolutely struggling. We also know that team biden is being stonewalled on the administration. Biden team would very much love to hit the ground running but can they . Certainly, experts say theres no excuse for the biden team not to have full access to the documents it needed. Thats especially important in the matter of national security. Andy card had warned that a delay of a transition could have consequences for national security. He pointed to the 9 11 Commission Report which noted that the brief transition between clinton and george w. Bush in the wake of the Election Court battle back in 2000 could have partially been upon for providing a better response to the terrorist threat. Its only about six weeks away from inauguration. Well see if republicans push back on some of this stonewalling. And we know this, the president lost by 6 million votes. Lost the electoral college, not pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan. Its been a month since the election, and he still wont concede. And every major republican still refuses to pretty much say its over. So when does it get to be over, Million Dollar question, i suppose . I guess, robyn, january 20th. But trump really has no intention of conceding. We did hear bill barr earlier this week say there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Even Kellyanne Conway acknowledged that the election is over. But the story continues to be how few republican politicians are refusing to state the positive as you suggest. I think it confirms what weve known which is trump will continue to cast a long shadow on the gop after he leaves office. Trump eremains immensely popular on the party. Many republicans ran on protrump platforms and theyre afraid of being on the end of a 5 00 a. M. Tweet. Trump is go to be trump. I think the pushback from republicans is regrettable because it fuels resentment among voters. Thomas gift. Always good to speak to you live from london, thank you. Thanks, robyn.

So, across europe, several countries are rolling out coronavirus vaccinations at a breakneck pace. In moscow 17 vaccination points are already open across the russian capital to distribute the countrys sputnik v vaccine. I want to bring in cyril vanier and Matthew Chance from london. Cyril, ill begin with you. Tell us whats happening there. Reporter well, robyn, its go time, which it says is the biggest challenge ever, which is to inoculate the entire country against the coronavirus. Its going to start small. The doses have been in the country for less than 24 hours. They came from belgium in unmarked trucks. Theyre going to be sent to undisclosed facilities to be checked to make sure the integrity of the vaccine hasnt been compromised. Then theyll be fanned out to some 50 hospitals that will serve as Vaccination Centers. Staff is being trained how to administer the vaccine because there is some complexity to it. It takes several hours to thaw. Our viewers know that this Pfizer Vaccine, the one that were talking about currently, the Pfizer Vaccine has to be stored at minus 70 degrees which obviously presents logistical challenges. The people in care homes, people who work in care homes and over 80 are going to start getting it. The result being that on tuesday well see the very first people who will start to receive their vaccine, thats going to be isnt scotland and walges. When you factor in it takes two jabs of this drug, that means at the end of december, rock bibyn well see the first be vaccinated. I want to go to Matthew Chance. Can you tell us about the vaxizativa vaccination being rolled out across moscow . Reporter yeah, its interesting to hear cyril talk about it. Russia wants to make sure its the forefront of all of the latest vaccine technology. It was the first to register for public use of vaccine back in august and since then 100,000 people according to Health Officials have already been vaccinated including people in trials. Also including members of the military, and prominent members of the Business Community as well, as well as front line doctors as well. Today, whats happening in moscow, the authorities there are rolling out their first attempt at max vaccinations across the city. 17 Vaccination Centers have been open for registrations to start delivering those jabs of sputnik v that the russians have developed. The russian mayor said theres been an enthusiastic pickup so far for the start of the program. 5,000 people registered to get the jab in the next few hours. Thats going be to obviously increase in the days and weeks to come. Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered all governors and administrations around russia to begin largescale vaccinations. Russia wants an end to this pandemic as soon as possible, but it also wants to show the world that it can lead the way in not just developing a vaccine, but actually delivering it as well. From next week, were expecting to see across russia, near a wide scale attempt in towns and cities across that vast country to get as many people as possible vaccinated. The Authorities Say theyve got enough doses of sputnik v to vaccinate 2 Million People right now. And that production process is being stemmed up by the day and the week. By january, theyre going to have 5 to 7 Million People, enough to vaccinate 5 to 7 Million People. So, yeah, russia is doing what it can, it says, to vaccinate as many people as possible. There are also concerns about efficacy, safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. But all of the trials made available through peer review have indicated that the vaccine produces a strong antibody response and no serious adverse effects. So, you know, like the other vaccines, sputnik v is being delivered to as many people as possible now. Great stuff. Thanks so much. Matthew chance, appreciate it. Cyril vanier as well. I want to bring in dr. Peter drobac, peter, lovely to see you. I know we spoke earlier in the week. Certainly looking ahead to next week. Some positive news, particularly where you are in the uk. These doses are apparently awaiting in country. What excites you the most . Well, weve all been waiting a long time. The news, the data from the vaccines have been so positive, while we havent seen all of the full data itself, the regulatory agencies certainly have been. The most important thing is theres light at the end of the tunnel. We do have to remembers there a massive logistical effort ahead of us. Theres going to be bumps in the road. We have to vaccinate everyone on the planet and thats going to be difficult. And its not going to make a meaningful difference in most of our daytoday lives for months. But in the surge of this, we have to focus on making good choices and staying safe and saving lives. I know you make an interesting point there. A lot of people are asking about the vaccine and ive had conversations among family and friends. Does it protect you from gets sick . Or protect you from getting infected . Thats the impact how long after vaccination people have to wear masks or social distance . Thats right. We know specifically from these trials that they seem to offer very good protection against serious illness with covid19. We dont have any information from the pfizer or moderna vaccines to prevent infections. Its possible people vaccinated could get asymptomatic infections and be contagious. We know from the Oxford Astrazeneca we do know it prevents infection. We do know now its going to save a lot of lives but we dont yet know the Public Health implications of this, but i think that will come within the next couple of months. With that in mind, obviously, theres still such early days and people must no doubt get their vaccine. Still, a hot lot of people are hesitant about this. How do folks like you say, listen, this is in your best interest . Particularly those of color here in the u. S. , saying theyre reluctant as well . The vaccine is variable. Different communities may have different concerns for different reasons, we have to understand that. So it starts with transparency and Clear Scientific communication. I think, you know, from my experience, you know, over 20 years fighting epidemics, that also a vaccine rollout, a communication strategy that is communitybased, that actually goes from the ground up is more important than something that comes from the top down. Dr. Peter drobac there in oxford. Thanks so much for that, peter. Still to come on cnn, covid vaccines wouldnt work if people dont take them as weve been talking about, the u. S. Government will pour millions of dollars into the campaign to show they are safe, but will it lead way for skeptics . I dont know 100 whats going on. Or how they cancelled votes or whatever. Its confusing. Thats what President Trump baseless election claims have created. Some voters dont know what to believe. Why that may hurt the runoff chances for republicans in georgia.

Welcome back to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world, thanks for joining me. Im robyn curnow, 32 minutes past the hour. Now, the coronavirus continues to infect americans at a staggering rate. Nearly 228,000 people reported on friday to have tested positive. The highest so far in a sickle day. That has pushed the u. S. Total to 14. 3 million cases since march, mar higher, far, far higher than any other country. And the death toll also has been skyrocketing since thanksgiving. Almost 11,000 americans have died from the virus just this month which, of course, is just beginning. One or more promising vaccines, though, are expected in the near future. There is good news. During a cnn town hall, americas top Infectious Disease doctor explained why the vaccination requires two separate shots, several weeks apart. What you have is you get some degree, not optimal, but some degree of immunity a couple weeks after the first dose. Thats not optimal. Officer the seco after the second dose you get optimal immunity anywhere seven to ten days after the second dose. Now, a covid vaccine, no matter how effective, is perfectly useless if people refuse to get it. U. S. Health officials are beginning a Progressive Campaign to convince americans that getting vaccinated is both necessary and safe. Take a listen. This will end. This is not something that will be with us forever. Tell me me more. Tell me more. Tell me more about that. We get more on the pr campaign from cnns kristen holmes. Reporter health and Human Services National Education plan is being described as a major push across digital and social platforms thats meant to educate the public about the vaccine and also to convince them that its safe, given all of the Politics Around it. Now, what weve seen so far is a very small portion of that, and ad by on youtube thats essentially a streaming Public Service announcement, using dr. Fauci, one of the most trusted individuals in the country to talk about the safety of the vaccine and the virus itself. It just ties that theyre using them at this period because again because he is one of the top officials in the country. And theyre describing it as sciencebased. This is interesting given what we know about the earlier ad campaigns. Several months ago, hhs announced its doing a 15 million celebrity ad. And it received blow back, particularly from democrats that theyre using it as political propaganda about the election. And an early rollout as early as next week when we start entering that phase one process. Cnns Kristin Holmes there. Despite that pr effort some people in the black and Latino Community are certainly thinking twice about getting the shot. We talked to them in the alabama area. Reporter hudson city, alabama, the term city used loosely, its really a small town. Population about 800. Were a small community. Everybody know everybody and everybodys care. Reporter the mayor said small enough to know when it comes to trusting a covid19 vaccine, many people feel like she does. Im reluctant to take the vaccine. Wait, you yourself . Im reluctant. Reporter most are africanamerican. Town located 100 miles from tuskegee, alabama. In the 1930s, government doctors conducted experiments on black men leaving them untreated for syphilis. Alabama has taken a beating from the coronavirus. The states 14day Positivity Rate just over 29 . In calhoun county, 37 . Still theres little faith he was reluctant to go for a covid19 test, and any discussion about a vaccine is off the table. I was afraid to take the test. Why not, mr. Cunningham . I like no know where its coming from. I have to convince my father. He doesnt know what this vaccine is about. Black people, all we know is trust the lord, trust our god, because we have to convince the family this is the right thing to do fto slow it down. Reporter its not just a smalltown problem, its nationwide, a survey conducted found 14 of black people and 34 of latinx trust its safe. Its like a fear. Like a phobia of needles i have a phobia of doctors. Reporter bailey was diagnosed in april, she does not get medical help because she feels she was poorly treated in the past. Now the mother of three suffers from problems with heart, lungs and kidneys. I can barely walk. I dont know what to do. Reporter what she did not do is take a vaccine. We dont know any side effects from it. I just really feel at this point, people going to take that vaccine are getting sick. Reporter you really feel . I do. I just feel we dont know enough. Reporter dr. Margaret pe pettigrew and her husband know. When you talk about trust, you trust the science because theyre telling you this is whats going to help me. But i have a lived experience that says this may not be so, because im being deprice evidence other things. Reporter the pettigrews come from a place of experience both professionally and personally, both are participating in a covid19 vaccine trial under way. And the couple is advocating for science and the vaccine. We thought it was important to make this contribution, and represent the community that were a part of in a way that says you can do this and take this vaccine. Was there any hesitation at all . I had no hesitation. I see what happens when people are not included in studies. Back at home, shes had a change of heart but it had little to do with science. I sat across from a young man who came in to purchase a grave for his 59yearold wife who died from covid last wednesday. And if anything makes me change my mind, that changed my mind. His wifes grave will be right over there in our cemetery. 59 years old. He changed your mind . He changed my mind. Reporter jason carroll, cnn, hobson city, alabama. Thank you for that powerful piece. Just ahead on cnn, as deadline is looming for the uk to work out a trade deal. Thats ahead.

So, it is 43 minutes past the hour. In u. S. Politics, President Trump will be here in the state of georgia today campaigning for two republican senators. Now Kelly Leffler and david perdue are in a pierce battle with two democrats to hang on to their seats. Their critical Runoff Election in january will determine which Party Controls the u. S. Senate. Some republicans feel President Trumps baseless claims about the election being rigged might depress voter turnout as kyung lah reports. Reporter expect miles west of georgia thank you. Reporter here lunch is served with a side of disbelief. Do you believe in the results what happened here in georgia . No, i really dont. Reporter who do you think won in november . I honestly think trump did. Reporter who do you think won the election . Trump. Reporter for some shellshocked supporters of the president its impossible to think about the upcoming january Senate Runoffs with a continued deluge of misinformation. From President Trump and others. You voted in november. How are you feeling about the runoffs . I really dont know. I mean, i dont know if its going to change anything or not. It may or may not. Reporter why do you say that . With all of the voter fraud and all the stuff theyre talking about so, i dont know 100 , you know, whats going on. Or how they cancelled votes or whatever, so, you know, its confusing, but, you know, not trusting anything anymore. Reporter that is the republican nightmare in the upcoming Senate Runoffs because here, the republican who could hold the most sway is trump. In harrelson county, the president heralds support from 3,000 votes. Donald trump won these counties in november, he did so by roughly 276,000 more votes than in 2016. Republicans need that enthusiastic gop base in places like harrelson to vote. For incumbent senators Kelly Leffler and david perdue in runoffs. But theres a complication, the president keeps saying this. They know it was a fixed election. It was a rigged election, they know it and i appreciate their support. Reporter that baseless claims puts the incumbent on the ballot in a political pickle. Listen to him trying to square it. The president is frustrated. Im frustrate we want to make sure whatever anomalies occur dont happen. Republican buzz brockway is a former Georgia State representative. He said republicans are already telling him they will not vote in january. Ive had dozens of people tell me that. People arent going to show up . Uhhuh. I do my best to try to talk them out of it but the internet spreads things like wildfire. What happens if the president keeps tweeting about a rigged election . That hurts. That absolutely hurts. He has a passionate group of followers, who, frankly, are more committed to him than the republican party. If he continues with that message its hurtful to the republican party. Reporter not everyone in the county believes trumps mixed message hurts. He says the more outraged trump is at the rally, the higher the enthusiasm for the senators. Its going to boost the electorate to come out stronger, i believe. And why stronger . Its defiance. Its, you know, were not going to take this stuff sitting down. Were going to come back out, were going to vote. Were showing to show that we care. Reporter kyung lah, cnn, georgia. And the European Union are pausing their trade talks due to significant differences. The commissioner will speak later today on where the relations stand on the postbrexit relationship. You recall the uk left the eu back in january. Its currently in a transition period which expires at the end of this year. Nic robertson joins us now from london with more on that. Hi, nic. Reporter yeah, hi, robyn. Look theres move opportunity here to say wee negotiated very, very hard, it was tough we came really close. But it was a tough negotiation. Unfortunately, were going to have to make compromises to get a deal. Now, that could be the narrative that emerges. Those compromises if theyre going to be made are political compromises and thats what Boris Johnson will have to do in the phone call today with those on the European Commission president. I say Boris Johnson will have to make those but its clear that confirmation will be required on both sides. The sticking points are pretty much what everyone has known about, and the negotiators absolutely know about. They are how are you going to regulate any agreement thats made . Who enforces the checks and balances independent . You know, how is that done . Secondly, its a big issue for britain, 0. 08 for massive gdp. But its a massive issue for Boris Johnson that he can protect british fisheries. What it really means that the United Kingdom wants to keep control of its territorial waters and only grant a limited amount of access. If any, to european fishing vessels. Thats a very tough sale. And another thing for the eu is a level playing field. They want some cities that have european businesses that could undercut other businesses. Its political compromise because really theres almost not enough time to actually get the relative respective parliaments to ratify an agreement by the end of the year. Goodness, then what happens in january. Nic robertson, thank you. The northeast u. S. Is bracing for a big winter storm.
