miraculous change in the people who are right now unwilling to get vaccinated, which keeps people, most people, out of the hospital, period, for covid, then what will change? the truth is, pamela, it s about covid the straw breaking the camel s back but it s about everything else. the fact that we ve been putting off preventative surgeries for more than a month now in my hospital system, that means people with heart problems, cancer, or other things that really need to get operated on aren t having the chance to have surgery and see more likely to end up in the e.r. not from covid but from other problems. it s the fact that we don t have enough mental health workers or social workers, and so folks are ending up, again, in the emergency department with mental health crises that could be prevented. what we really need when omicron
across the country to make sure we increase vaccines, but look covid is one aspect of why this administration has seen such low approval ratings. the economy has been abysmal over the last several months and is not a temporary issue. they ve been saying the economy or inflation is a transitory, or temporary issue, this is long-term. that s why we see many polling numbers, 33%, and another problem we have with the biden administration as someone who campaigned on unity and has done nothing to unify this country and certainly within his own party. poll numbers show almost half of americans say he has done more to not unify this country and that is a big factor with joe biden, not being able to get a lot of what he has said he wants to get done done. what poll is that, alice, i hadn t seen that one? the quinipe act poll, numbers
much about him on a day to day basis, with much information on the u.s. and british side of things, not much evidence of him as someone they had in their data bases in the past so a lot to think now i think will be focusing on his behavior, some of the incoherent you may have heard in the recordings of him speak, lack of sfophistication around that plot, may lead some to agree with his family s assessment of mental health issues but a focus now on what the uk can provide the u.s. investigation, what can be discovered at this stage as well and, of course, whether there is any potential on going threat or wider network. although, at this point, no public statement to see that effect, poppy. nick, thank you very much for that reporting. when we come back, ukraine accusing russia of a huge cyber attack on its government. i ll ask if the u.s. is getting mired in another cold war. plus, new data suggesting that cutting covid quarantine from 10 days to five could have
quick manner and a sufficient way and operation warpspeed was very successful in addressing covid and that s something really important. not to harp on the biden administration, but they have not done a good job with regard to covid, and the testing, as well as the vaccines, and encouraging people across the board to get well what do you mean specifically, wait, wait, i mean, repeatedly, from the biden administration we heard get vaccinated, boost, boost, boost, and you do have a number of republicans, alice, apologies, who oppose the vaccine mandates biden administration is pushing so what specifically are you talking on the vaccine front? the point with that is joe biden campaigned on a large part one saying we ll put the covid pandemic behind us and we certainly have not. okay, but you would concede on the vaccine front they ve
