Late last night north dakotas governor ordered a statewide mandate after months of saying it was unnecessary. The state now has the highest new case rate in the country. Michelle . Michael, thank you. Web, cbs news medical contributor dr. David agus joins us more with more on the raging coronavirus outbreak. Good morning. A big picture here. Back in march you were the first to call lockdowns and quarantines. Where exactly are we headed right now . Michelle, 180,000 cases in a day, which means the real number is probably closer to a million when you take into account asymptomatic people and people who arent testing. We have to change behavior. Theres hope on the horizon, the vaccines, but we really have to start to do something because each one of those 180,000 or a million, depending on how you look at it have family members, and theyre going home and talking to others, and the virus keeps spreading. Doctor, speaking of family, thanksgiving is coming up. Aaa is estimated 50 million americans will travel, most of them driving, but a lot flying. What would you tell families right now . Well, if you really want to get together with family, you need to start quarantining now and not go out so youre assured you have not been exposed to the virus by the time thanksgiving happens, or when you get together, wear masks and put the tables far apart and have a buffet so everybody can do this safely. Its critical that we do this right or the case numbers are going to continue to go up and were going to lose lives that should. Be lost. You mentioned the hope of a vaccine. We know with pfizer right now, 90 effective. Were hearing were going to get numbers. Look ahead next month and even six months. So where are we . These vaccines are hope in a bottle. Pfizer with 80 efficacy and astrazeneca, which means well have 85,000 doses by the end of december an well vaccinate the country. It will take six to eight months first with health care workers, front line workers, and then the rest of the country. But this vaccine will work. Weve seen the data, and it is safe. And so really there is hope. Light at the end of the tunnel. So if we change our behavior today, with that light at the end of the tunnel, the outcome is not going to be as dire as some of the pundits are saying. If we dont, its going to be a really rough six months until we vaccinate the country. David, is there a concern of people being leery about taking a vaccine, and how do medical professionals get past that . Certainly there has not been real data on the vaccine until monday, and monday i was literally in tears. Greater than 90 efficacy, blocking the virus. At the same time with over 90,000 people vaccinated around the globe, theres yet to be a serious adverse event related to the vaccines. So certainly very, very encouraging. As we get more data, myself and many others are going to stand up and start to explain it, and it looks like the data are going to make sense, that the benefits dramatically outweigh the benefits. Everybody is saying we dont have longterm data. Most, the side effects were seen in the first month or two. Weve had experience with all of these vaccines and theyre remarkably well tolerated. Good to know. Dr. David agus, thank you. President elect joe biden has matched President Trumps 2016 surge says in Electoral College volts. Cbs news projects joe biden has won georgia, flipping the traditional red state blue. And President Trump is the presumptive winner in North Carolina. These final projections expand former Vice President joe bidens lead in Electoral College votes to 306. Mr. Trump is still challenging the election with lawsuits and questioning the count in several states. Paula reid is live at the white house. Good morning. Good morning, dana. Yesterday President Trump addressed americans for the First Time Since the president ial race was called for joe biden. In his remarks he offered an optimistic outlook for the delivery of a vaccine but did not address the Record Number of new cases were seeing across the country, and he almost acknowledged he wont be getting a second term. Were ready to go. Reporter speaking to reporters in the rose garden friday, President Trump announced two covid vaccines could be approved by the end of the year and available to all americans as early as april. Pfizer announced on monday that its china virus vaccine is more than 90 effective. This far exceeds any and all expectations. Reporter but the u. S. Continues to set new daily records for covid infections, and cbs news has learned that the virus is once again hitting close to home for the president. Dozens of secret Service Members are believed to have coronavirus or are in quarantine, though cases linked in part to Campaign Rallies the president held over the last month. And for the first time the president almost acknowledged president elect joe bidens incoming administration. This administration is not be going into a lockdown. Hopefully whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be, i guess time will tell. Reporter the refusal to admit defeat is hampering the gooden teams efforts to come b combat covid. Its imperative that our team have that access. Reporter but that didnt stop the president from weigh in on the pandemic, releasing a statement demanding the Trump Administration to take urgent action, asking americans to engage in mitigation efforts like social distancing and Wearing Masks until convenience can be delivered. On friday the Trump Campaign faced setbacks to lawsuits attempting to contest the election. They tell cbs news even if they dont win every case in court, the legal case itself riles up the base and helps with fu fundraising. David becker joins us. Ill ask you this morning. Any viable approaches right now . No. We have a clearer picture right now. We can see after multiple lawsuits have been brought over the last 11 days, the Trump Campaign has lost almost every one of them. They lost in michigan. They lost cases in one fell swoop in pennsylvania. Theyre bringing cases. All of their factual allegations are falling apart when scrutinized by a court. Has the fact that theyve filed lawsuits all over hurt them . Im not sure it hurt them. The margins are too large and very clearly president elect biden has won this election. I think as paula noted, its more likely to be a strategy to inflame the base and maybe set President Trump up for a post presidency where he can continue to fundraise and continue the allegations of voter fraud. Can we see it differently in different states . Yeah. I think the Trump Campaign is trying to bring stacks of affidavits in trying to imply because they have so many affidavits or pages, that theres something to them. When the courts look at them, theres nothing there. There are allegations that observers werent allowed to observe the vote counts, and, of course, we know we have a lot of evidence that observers from both parties, both campaigns were present and observing it. I think the allegations dont have much to them. David, what is the president ial transition act and why is it so critical . Well, the president ial transition act is to make sure that the new president is ready to govern on day one. And so parly when we might have National Security concerns or especially now during a pan dechlic, its really important the president elect biden on january 20th is ready to govern. Right now those efforts are slightly hampered by the fact that they dont have access to the agencies, they dont have access to the daily president ial briefings. And, of course, were seeing me republicans break with the administration to demand that that be done. Two quick questions, david. One, what are the consequences of the stonewalling and what about when the Electoral College gets together . What then if those cases are still pending . I think the consequences are dwindling at this point. I think the possible outcomes that could benefit the Trump Campaign are near zero right now. States are certifying their Election Results as we speak. Some states have done it. Many are certifying this coming week and the following week including key states like pennsylvania, michigan, arizona, georgia. So i think once those results are certified, the electors will be set. The legislatures have made clear theyre not going to interfere in the will of the people, which is a very good thing. So i think before december 14th, president elect biden is the president on january 20th. All right. David beck eric thank you. President elect biden is urging americans to wear masks and stay socially distancing. The incoming president is pushing ahead with transition plans despite President Trumps decision not to concede or authorize a federal agency to share classified information with the biden team, but there are signs the freeze is starting to thaw. Nikole killion is with the president elect in rehoboth beach, delaware. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you, michelle. President elect joe biden is spending time with his family here in rehoboth beach. Although, its a working weekend as he meets with transition advisers. Meantime President Trumps former white house chief of staff john kelly told politico he believes biden should start getting daily Intelligence Briefings and says the delay could impact National Security. Several republican senators have also issued similar calls. Officials with the Biden Transition Team says every day that biden doesnt get realtime threat informationive creases the potential for National Security implications. And while theyd like access to information, they pointed out they dont want to necessarily get into a food fight with the General Services administration. The agency has not yet recognized the president elects win, though through a process c ascertainment. A few days after naming his new chief of staff ron klain, aides say that more staffing announcements could happen soon, likely within weeks. Nikole killion, thank you.
