Highest level since 2011. We will be taking you there live in about 30 minutes. Speaking of that, Phil Mattingly with me from d. C. What can bernanke say about the fed as he is on his way out to . We are about a half hour away from ben bernanke taking the stage. It is a few weeks after policy makers may then move to trim the Bond Buying Program in less and less than one month away from his last months in office.

You said this process will not be interfered with politically and said its possible but unlikely this vaccine will be available before election day, because thats what the president has said. Is that still your position . If we can make them advance prior to the election day, we will. If we can after the election day we will. Its totally irrelevant. Its more laikely it happens in november and even more likely in december. Lets bring in senior medical correspondent to join us. You heard him say the race for the vaccine has nothing, quote, to do with politics. And i wonder what your thoughts are on that as we have certainly seen a lot of politatization around this.
