The number of those is the amount of vaccine that we have is Still Limited in comparison to the needs. There is about 120 million at risk in the u. S. We will have by the end of the month of december about 40 million doses of vaccine. Its going take a while for all americans who need it on a priority level to get it. But, you know, over probably two or two and a half months, they will all get it. Now, remember here, each person needs two doses of the vaccine, so 40 million doses, only fully vaccinated 20 million people. Meantime, the official leading the Vaccine Distribution right now, he expressed confidence that even though who are not at the top of the list could get it by june. 100 of americans that want the vaccine will have the vaccine by that point in time. Even with that light at the end of the tunnel, it could be a long, painful winter. A record 96,000 americans with coronavirus have been admitted to the hospital. Cnns erica hill has more.

Of this later in the hour. But were not at the finish line yet. And the next few months will be treacherous, in part, because people are relaxing as they look ahead to a vaccine. And Health Experts say thats a mistake. We expect, unfortunately, as we go for the next couple of weeks into december that we might see a surge super imposed upon that surge that were already in. This is a really dangerous time. We really have to see what this weekend looks like. I cant really project that. But, remember, were not passive bystanders. If your family traveled, you have to assume you were exposed and you became infected and you really need to get tested in the next week. Your actions have consequences. If you do the right thing, then it will bridge us to a vaccine. The fear now is that well see a continuing escalation in all the numbers that we follow. For example, november was already the worst yet for covid cases. More than 4 million, twice the number we saw in october. More than 35,000 america
