so that was really exciting, you know. mask free and we didn t have to have the windows open and everyone was vaccinated and boosted. jenna, last but not least, your thanksgiving, better than last year s or is there something we re not seeing here? this year is definitely better. if you can hear in the background, my mom s cell phone is going off, so she s here with me. it s nice to not have a president who thinks the cure for covid is drinking bleach, so definitely this year. yeah, we re making progress incrementally if we re going to use benchmarks like that. danielle, let s talk a little bit about just the overall state of the politics here. should democrats be thankful for what the party has accomplished this year? or have they fallen short on some of the promises made before taking power back in january of last year? i mean, i don t want to be the bearer of bad news, so i
i hope that despite all present circumstances that what we ll see is that people will think about the others around them as much as themselves. reporter: people have been reporting here in the south some disturbing reports of people taking livestock dewormer and mississippi department of health is so worried about this. they said please don t take this to try to prevent covid. 70% of calls to poison control in mississippi have been because of people taking this dewormer. they are saying check with your doctor. talk to people you trust before take things like this. alex. i wish you could have seen my face. i was like what. that sounds like drinking bleach. you remember that one. okay. thank you for that heads up. a good day to all of you at the top of the hour here.
what do you see here in the rhetorical clash on the right at a time when people need to know the facts. well, exactly, ari, chickens are coming home to roost. we had donald trump for four years saying anything you see on the media is much of fox news or some other right-wing media was false and fake news. and so, when you have physicians such as dr. patel who studied this and know the science and who happen to be on network that are not main network and trump supporters and many republicans taught to believe anything that the doctor says on a network is false and should be thrown away. we had americans drinking bleach because the president says so or chemicals from fish tanks. these are people who are so bent
to work together such as arms control between the u.s. and russia, the iran nuclear deal and perhaps climate change as well. amanda, america s relationship with russia hasn t been this bad since the cold war, really. president trump embarrassed putin by talking to him on the world stage. president trump suggested drinking bleach for the pandemic. what are you expecting? i have to say i m not excited about the prospect of another american president giving putin another prestigious, sit-down, high-profile, global media opportunity. of course, i do think biden will be well prepared to go into these meetings. but putin is going to spin this to his advantage. given putin s hostile posture
people getting sick. i tell my patients, if your workplace is reopening, it doesn t mean that there s no covid in your workplace. reporter: there s also this unusual warning from the cdc tonight. a number of americans afraid of the coronavirus are drinking bleach and using it to clean their skin and food. they say that needs to stop. world health authorities tonight are once again changing their recommendations for face coverings, saying that if they re made of fabric, they need at least three pieces of cloth to be effective. david? steve osunsami with the ever-changing news on the pandemic as well. steve, thank you. and now to the staggering toll in this in latin america. in brazil tonight, these are the mass graves across the countryside. nearly 1,500 lives lost in just the past 24 hours. james longman rs surging.noththird worst t ne 1,500 in the last 24 hours alone.
