I see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do Something Like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning. You see it gets in the lungs and it will be interesting to check that so you can use medical doctors. I was asking a sarcastic and very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside. It would kill it on the hands. And that would make things much better. That was done in a form of a sarcastic question to the reporters. To be clear investing chemicals like bleach can be fatal. And this morning lysol issued a warning saying nor circumstances should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body. And now the fda is issuing a warning for another one of the president s suggestions, for weeks the president touted an antimalaria drug called hydr y hydroxychloroquine. They say the drug should not be used outside of a hospital or Clinical Trial explaining the drug has been linked to serious heart
Governors. Tennessee, arkansas. We are speaking to a lot of different people. They are explaining what they are doing. I am very much in favor of what theyre doing. Theyre getting it going. We are opening our country aga again. Harris we have just been given a one minute warning before we can go and watch the president with the governor of new jersey, a governor who has been looking at the second highest number confirmed cases and deaths only to the state of new york. We know that in recent days President Trump has met with Governor Cuomo of new york, and now governor murphy. A couple of things, of course, are popping today. Dr. Fauci yesterday saying a second wave is coming of coronavirus. We want to be ready. That, coupled with the challenges of reopening some economies around the United States, are no doubt part of the discussions today between this governor and this president. The other thing that has popped, of course, we are now at more than 61,000 deaths, lives lost, in this cri
Country grapples with this health crisis, we have heard that researchers at Oxford University say their Coronavirus Vaccine could be ready by years end after showing promising signs in early trials. In fact, researchers there are so confident in this vaccine theyve now partnered with a drug manufacturer before the vaccine has finished its testing phase. The move comes as an attempt to get ahead of any distribution obstacles once the vaccine is deemed safe and effective. With us to talk about this is our chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel. Richard, so many questions. Mumps took four years. Human trials, we keep getting told, cant be rushed. This country cant wait to get back to some semblance of normalcy, so how is it they think that by years end they could have this up and running . So theyre not waiting for the end of the research to begin manufacturing. So there is a gamble that this company is taking. Its a Company Called astrazeneca. I spoke to the ceo a short while ago and
And i saw it all yesterday. One buffoon called this the shutdown the worst mistake in American History and maybe in world history. The buffoonery continues, willie, and whats incredible is as one doctor told us, one expert told us, were in the second inning of a nineinning game and these fools, i will say, yes, fools, are acting as if this is over. And its the ninth inning and everybody just overreacted just like they were doing in february and march. They still are not learning their lessons. And theyre not acknowledging the fact that the reason the numbers arent as high as they could have been, the reason that the hospitals have not been swamped as they could have been is because of action that was taken, because of stayathome orders and because of social distancing. Thats not taking my word for it, thats taking dr. Anthony faucis word for it. Thats taking dr. Deb before birx word for it. Thats an ignorant take, but ive seen it out there too. Even as the u. S. Crossed the 1 million m
As a sign of your failure. I know this is going to hurt a lot of nurses. Were going to need a lot of coaching and counseling after this is over. Ive seen more death probably now than my entire life. Its been its been really traumatizing. I am not able to mentally wrap my head around this, even though im on the front line. There will be, you know, a letdown phase, absolutely. That will be difficult. That will be difficult. We start the show tonight with a look at the psychological toll facing doctors and nurses on the front lines. Its an important and perhaps overlooked part of the story, and were going to talk more about later in the show. In the same way we have pad ptsd issues with soldiers coming from the front lines of wars in iraq and afghanistan, we may be seeing some more issues here. Welcome to wednesday. Its meet the press daily. Were going to begin tonight with a hopeful development. Its nice to start with some good news. In the oval office today, the nations top Infectious D
