I will speak to the doctor ala stafford about how to stay safe and about her work in the biden administration and her personal fight for justice. Good morning. It good morning.

At least 20 were arrested as things became more tense after nightfall. It comes amid the very real and right now very outofcontrol surge in covid19 across the country.

Cdc director Robert Redfield said we could see as many as 500,000 american deaths by the end of next month. December and january and february are going to be rough times. I actually believe theyre going to be the most difficult in the Public Health history of this nation. Largely because of the stress thats going to put on our Health Care System. Unbelievable stress. But now the good news, as we know. Thats the vaccines are on the way. But the rate of death is expected to keep rising, even as the first wave of americans get the vaccine. That will take months. And a lot can happen in a few months. Take a look at these maps that nbc got from state reports handed out by the White House Covid Task force. You can see how the red zones spread expotentially throughout the fall. And this is where we are now dark re

Atlanta. This is our 14th cnn global town hall coronavirus facts and fears. In the weeks since our last town hall, so much has changed in the country, including the outbreak. And though, we would all like to think that this pandemic is over, it isnt. Experts say we are far from that. We have just gotten a new estimate from the cdc, and its pretty grim. Projecting more than 135,000 deaths by coronavirus by the 11th of next month. On top of that, ten states now this week have seen record numbers of new cases, including oklahoma, where the president , as you know, is going to be holding a massive indoor rally on saturday.
