Singleday coronavirus case totals since the start of the pandemic, including wisconsin where the president will hold a rally later tonight. In fact, the infection rate, the positivity rate, is somewhere up above 20 right now. Hes also in michigan today, a state thats also reporting a Record Number of cases. In fact, take a look at how those cases are climbing in michigan. Also on the rise, the number of early ballots cast in this election. Americans are voting early in Record Numbers. More than 22 million have voted so far, and while requests for mailin ballots are in high demand, in part due to the pandemic, President Trumps sustained attacks on vote by mail, plus the overhauls to the postal service, have inspired so many people to vote early inperson. Let me take you to georgia. These images from this morning where some people lined up for three or four hours to cast their ballots. Well have much more on the ground there in georgia in a moment. But first, cnns joe johns joins us from
Viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day, it is wednesday, november 11th, 6 00 here in new york on this veterans day. We begin with president elect joe biden, trying to reassure the American People that President Trumps refusal to concede will not impede the transition. Well, i just think its an embarrassment, quite frankly. The only thing that how can i say this tactfully i think it will not help the president s legac legacy. The president elect says he is already speaking with world leaders, even as Republican Leaders try to peddle claims of voter fraud that are being debunked in realtime by state officials around the country. But the outgoing president s actions are causing alarm at the pentagon, after several senior officials were removed and replaced with trump loyalists. One defense officials calls it, quote, scary and unsettling, saying it amounts to, quote, dictator moves. If so, secretary of state mike pompeo is reading from the same dictator play
Out front tonight, more people may die. That is the warning tonight from joe biden. The president elect using some of the strongest language yet since the election, telling President Trump it is time to start to transition now or risking losing more american lives to the virus. More people may die. If we dont coordinate. They say they have this Warp Speed Program that not only dealt with getting vaccines but also how to distribute this. If we have to wait until january 20th to start that planning, it puts us behind over a month, month and a half. The idea that the president is still playing golf and not doing anything about it is beyond my comprehension. The virus is spreading at an alarming rate. More than 100,000 cases for the 14th day running, far outpacing any increases in testing. At least 14,951 americans have died since election day. People were alive coming in, now dead. Yet the president is ignoring the urgent calls not just from biden but from dr. Fauci. Obviously, its someth
Elizabeth . Reporter thats right, john. Whats exciting about this new data is its a much larger data set, so its much more reliable than what they announced a few weeks ago. So lets take a look at what these percentages are. What theyre showing is that their vaccine is 94. 1 effective. Thats very much along the lines of what they said earlier. Also, very close to the pfizers effectiveness. And this vaccine, they say, is 100 effective against severe disease. Now, lets take a look at the numbers that they gave that led to this percentage. So moderna says that 11 out of the 15,000 people in their study who received the vaccine got covid19. So 11 out of 15,000 who received the vaccine got covid19. But 185 people out of the 15,000 who received the placebo got covid19. So you can see, thats a huge difference. You can really see how the vaccine made a difference. And in this study, it went on for several months, and moderna didnt give covid19, people just went out into their communities, and
