Nearly 600. 00 deaths on wednesday overtakes figures since may in the 1st wave. Every death is a is a, is a tragedy. I mean, we mourn everybody whos gone and, and often either with their families as and friends as well. Were not out of the woods yet. It does still require everybody to follow the guidance elsewhere in europe. The spread is on the increase too, in italy, where hotels are now being used to cope with an over spill of patients. The number of cases has now passed 1000000, as despite increased lockdown restrictions such as here in florence, spains number of dead within 24 hours has increased to more than 400. Its the highest since the 2nd wave began. France is now using mobile units to treat non covert patients because of demands on its hospitals. Germany as well continues to struggle to have and yet spent id. Only now we have to wards that up pretty much at full capacity. And while we are barely able to do our jobs, hungary is the latest country to increase its lockdown measures. Its parliament has called a 3 month state of emergency that imposes an overnight National Curfew on the ground Counter Measures in the fight against covert increase. And the race to introduce vaccination programs is also exaggerating. The European Union has signed a contract with pfizer, which has developed the front runner vaccine with bio on tech. The e. U.

Almost 62000 people are currently hospitalized with the virus more than ever before. Measures have been tightened in new york and several midwestern states. I tell you this in all sincerity. We are in trouble. Our local and state Health Care Resources are approaching their limits. And if nothing is done soon to slow the rise in cases, our hospitals will be more overwhelmed than they already are. And we wont be able to be there for all of those who need it. Us President Donald Trump has made his 1st public appearance since joe biden was named president elect on saturday. Veterans day at a ceremony in arlington, virginia, but to dont speak to the media. He still hasnt conceded or spoken publicly since losing his bid for reelection. Instead, hes launched a barrage of lawsuits in several key states. The latest is michigan trying to block the midwestern battleground from certifying its results. By mark veterans day at a war memorial in philadelphia, before returning home to delaware, hes been unable to move into federal office space or use Government Funds to hire staff because of troubles, refusal to cooperate. But he says his transition plans are moving forward. Now the u. S. State of georgia has announced that it will be recounting, although its by hand, which was requested by the Truck Campaign. Joe biden secured the election without georgia, but hes also leading there by just over 14000 votes. Officials say the recount will begin at the end of the week. The curmudgeon story and said 13001 of them between the president and senator biden, Vice President biden, might as well continue to invest the group in every instance of illegal voting. That the building that were going to really, you know, if you play that we were investigated, every illegal vote will count. So well be counting every single piece of paper every single ballot, every single lawfully cast legal ballot. Theres extra attention on georgia because itll have 2 Senate Runoff races in january. That all determine control of the upper chamber. The republicans come anyhow, 50 seats in the democrats, 48. 00. If they win both races in georgia, the democrats will effectively gain the majority because the Vice President cast the deciding vote in a tie elevation is in washington d. C. He says, even tribes are lies and are saying theres little chance of changing the results of the election. Theres a series of lawsuits moving their way through the courts, but theyre simply not big enough to to justify what the republicans are saying about widespread voter fraud. For example, in arizona. Theres a dispute about some ballots, in fact, 180 ballots in georgia, which will no go through a recount. Theres a dispute about whether or not 53 people there should have voted. And in michigan, a judge has said to the campaign, look, if you want to bring this case, youve got to go back and refile because you dont have the right documents, youre not doing this properly. And that seems to be a recurring thing, that a lot of times when the Truck Campaign a raising issues in court, the judges are simply throwing them out. Now, when it comes to recounts, you would think, well that might make a difference in georgia. Joe biden has got a lead there of several 1000. Lets go back to wisconsin and 2016. Hillary clinton was behind there. She demanded a recount. She got her rico. She got 713 more votes. In the recount. Donald trump got more than 800, he extended his lead. And so in georgia, theyre expecting the same thing to happen there. And the secretary of state there who is a republican whos spoken on this several times. He has said, look, there is no evidence of widespread white spread fraud in the state. So its a difficulty for donald trump to convince people that there is a huge problem here.
