New mexicos Governor Phil Murphy echoing that today telling people to stay within their bubbles. He joins us now. Governor murphy, more than 2,400 people in your state are hospitalized with covid. Thats the most since june we all lived through those terrible months back in march and april, everybody stuck inside constant sirens. Do you believe, governor murphy, that we can breechbt that this time good to be with you shep. I hope so, but its too early to tell, to be frank with you i think we are staring at a very tough couple of months here. I agree with your comments about the horizon, which looks very bright, particularly with a lot of really good vaccine news of late we certainly know a lot more about this virus than we did in the spring we have many more capacities from ppe to beds to testing. But theres a lot of fatigue theres a lot of transmission in private settings we have got the holidays before us we are pleading with people to not let their guard down, to stay strong. This virus is dying for us, literally, to let our guard down we have got to do everything we can to push back at that. Governor, schools across the country, and some in your state, have gone fully virtual. In europe they have closed bars to keep the schools open here we are doing the opposite thing. Why is keeping schools open not the top priority in this country . I can speak for new jersey, certainly, and it is a top priority for us. But your bars are open. Your schools are closed, your bars are open. Thats not true with all due respect we have got 800 or 900 districts. 500 and something are virtual. 160 something are remote about 100 are full all in. Another three dozen are a combination. We have been that way since new york since the beginning. We have been working with each district on an individual basic. The inschool experience in new jersey so far has been very, very good. So long as we can stay safe and responsible we want to keep high quality and hopefully inperson education as long as week. Every doctor i talked to says thanksgiving scares the hell out of them. Your fellow Health Director wrote this op ed in the Washington Post, stay home at thanksgiving how are you do that . We have limited indoor activities to ten people at most we have cut restaurants at 10 00. We are pleading with people to push back on the fatigue dont go outside your own double, stay within your immediate family we are particularly concerned about Multigenerational Families getting together we have upped our compliance but there is no amount of compliance enforcement no am of Law Enforcement that can get inside of everybodys living rooms. We pleading with people, do the right thing. We are all excited for vaccines in the spring and summer i shouldnt say all. A lot of people are and a lot of people are saying they are in the going the take it. The doctors i have spoken to say this has been by the book and is extraordinary. How do you convince people to take the thing because if they wont, it wont work. There has been a lot of a lot of noise crept into this discussion that should not have. Politics folks the antivaks crowd, et cetera we are very convinced this ds these developments, the vaccine developments are real, they are safe, they will be efficacious new jersey will have its own separate pro process so people realize it is not just the companies or the federal government but our state will put our own Good Housekeeping seal of approval on it if we dont, we dont think it will be safe and workable. I have to tell you right now i believe strongly it will be. And we have got again public bull horn, Public Service announcements, get folks to realize this is the smart, right thing to do. And god willing we will get what we need. In new jersey we think 70 of our population needs to thats our aspiration to take this vaccine and we are going to do everything we can to get there. Governor phil murphy of new jersey governor thank you. Many School Systems in our country are debating whether to close. New york city did just that, closed to all Remote Learning beginning today. Many patients are protesting the decision nationwide kids and parents are struggling 40 of School Districts are virtual. 23 are hybrid, 36 traditional. All of this is disruptive to children and to our economy cnbcs senior economics correspondent Steve Liesman is here if kids are at home, more parents have to stay home, too, and you wonder, whats that doing to the work force . It is going to depend a lot about how far this goes. We know in 33 states just in the past couple of week there have been some full or partial closures as you say that means some pems of the work force, the caregivers cannot necessarily go to work unless they can fine some help. If you lock at whats happened so far in this recession shep it has been tougher on women than on men 4. 7 million women left the work force or are now unemployed compared to 4. 3 million men. Usually in a recession its the other way. So this has been a very tough recession when it comes to women. One of the reasons is what happens with schools that could show up in labor reports that we are going to get in the next couple of weeks. Steve, we will watch for it. There is more good news tonight on the vaccine front pfizer now, we know will file for fda approval tomorrow according to the head of health and Human Services there is yet another vaccine now showing promise. This time it is the one from the drug Maker Astrazeneca and the university of oxford in england. An early study finds their vaccine is safe, but we are still waiting to learn exactly how effective it is. We will know that after there are 53 confirmed cases of coronavirus if their trial when might that answer come . Heres cnbcs meg tirrell.

As a safety concern was investigated it was ultimately allowed to continue 5yearold jeff carlson is in the u. S. Trial he got his last shot last weekend. He said he felt confident about his safety despite the pause in the study. Something under this much scrutiny i think they have to be very careful. Reporter he says he still want to participate because the world needs more than just two vaccines. I cant control much in the world right now but if there is something i can do. Reporter it would add needed supply around the world. And astrazeneca says it wouldnt require the ultracold storage that pfizers vaccine does he says he canceled lance with his family and is spending thanksgiving at home because he dont know whether he got the placebo or the trial vaccine the World Health Organization just coming out with a new resepect dags about remdesivir and putting the w. H. O. At odds with the United States their recommendation is against using that drug saying it doesnt have an effect on saving lives, prevent be patients from needing ventilators or speeding up recovery. In october, this became the first drug that the fda fully approved to treat covid shortaning symptoms by five days it is a real rift between the u. S. And the w. H. O. Meg tirrell, thank you.
