2:03 am
of tragedy and heartbreak. stories of families going from clinic to clinic, hospital to hospital, begging for icu beds. pleading and begging for supplies like oxygen and medicine. experts point out that the best hope for india is the covid-19 vaccine. the drive started earlier this year but it has been woefully slow. over the weekend india expanded it's inoculation drive. they're saying there simply not enough supplies. on saturday the latest numbers
2:04 am
out today we learned that less than 85,000 adults in india were given their first dose on saturday. vaccination supplies are coming up, but india right now is up against logistical challenges. they are trying to get out of the second wave of this virus. >> thank you, i want to pick up where you were talking about now enough supplies. so will this make a dent in the problem or is it too little too late? >> i have been given the prickture that christie just painted of what we have seen in india from our correspondence on the beyond, the dire situation, the 392,000 new innexts. the 11th day of contective rises in infections. that, i think every bit makes a
2:05 am
huge difference. and what the international viewers are trying to do, as they get together to show solidarity and cooperation is try to relieve some of the shortages and principally the shortages for things like ox again. so what we have seen in the last week or so is the u.k., singapore, saudi arabia, shipments from uzbekistan, germany, arriving. be also had something like 1 150,000 doses arriving. this is the first backseat according to rush that. it has been approved by india back in the beginning of the month nap can be administered.

2:07 am
so it will also contribute to for india. >> the united statess that been sending shipments, it continues to send aide. president biden telling the president that the united states stands shoulder to shoulder with india and it is promising like 100 million dollars worth of supplies including not just ppe, but also opponent sos desperately needed to make up the production of those vaccines, of course. only 2% of the population of 1.3 billion people being inoculated. for awhile the united states had a ban on expercents of some components. the united states was trying to

strengthen it's on vaccine fly -- supply at home so more people can be inoculated quicker. >> thank you very much, both of you. >> some public health officials say the best course of action for india right now would be another nationwide lock down. dr. anthony fauci he believes a few weeks could make a big difference. >> one of the things to be consider second degree to temporarily shut down. i mean literally lock down so you wind up not having more spread, and no one likes to lock down a country. that's a problem if do you it for six months. but if you do it for just a few
2:09 am
weeks you can have a significant impact on the dynamics of the outbreak. >> so last hour i play that clip and asked her if another lock down was realistic. >> i think the likelihood of it happening is quite high. most people feel is needed and that we will be able to kwoep it. even though there was a lock down, at least they stemmed a bit on the rise of cases. i think it should be done more mo forcefully in some states. >> what are you calling for? >>. >> why are we able to get infrastructure, why are we getting aid, so on and so forth. we're finding a huge shortage in
2:10 am
manpower. coco vid work and duties, we need to use the norms and we're strongly advocating that with the updates, and hopefully they will see with just limited work to be done we will muster in more support. we really need more hands on the ground. more bodies on the ground to help, and for that some policy changes are required. and hopefully that will happen. >> you also need more shots in arms, and we noted that ramping up the vaccinations will be needed, it's great, but it won't have much impact on this current wave. do you agree with that? >> i think is better to be black
2:11 am
than never. as an institution for the largest vaccinators, i think if we can garner more support, ease the supply chain, we should at least be able to safe guard against the future. something is better than nothing. >> that was the head of apollo hospitals. another promising sign. the seven-day moving average of daily cases dipping below 50,000 for the first time since early october. natasha chen has more on the progress made and what needs to be done. >> even as global daily coronavirus cases reaches a new peak, the united states curve in
2:12 am
flat flattening. the numbers includes the part of the pop tlags are fully vaccinated. >> we're seeing a shift. the ones that are maybe on the fence and that are thinking about it that we need more effort to get the knowledge to them and help them make the correct decision to get vaccinated. >> by the time they leave they have smiles on their faces and they're sharing reasons why they're getting vaccinated. it's all about doing it not only for themselves but also for their family, friends, and other loved ones. >> it is going to take a truly coordinated effort to achieve both the rothout of covid-19 in adolescence and regular vaccines. >> they are aflied to allow 12
