does involve buying some toys. >> toys for tots. >> you good morning, america. the race for a vaccine taking a big leap forward this morning. the cdc set to meet making recommendations for who will be the first to get the vaccine as pfizer prepares to rush out those first shots at a moment's notice. flying more doses to a storage facility in michigan. with a new record number of hospitalizations nearing 100,000 across the country, new york's governor warning that another major shutdown could be on the way. >> every hospital has to identify retired nurses and doctors now. >> former cdc director dr. tom frieden is live only on "gma" this morning. also this morning, the president blasts his own allies, the republican governors of arizona and georgia, for not helping him overturn the election results in their states. all six states president trump has contested have now certified

that joe biden is the winner. why some now say the president's baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud could cost georgia two key seats and his party control of the senate. felicity huffman, the "desperate housewives" star, landing her first role since her serving time for the college admissions scandal, and lori loughlin's life behind bars only on "gma." a billionaire's mysterious death, new questions about the house fire that killed former zappos ceo tony hsieh. >> the male is barricaded inside, and he is not answering the door. >> the investigation under way. christmas tree spree. >> there it is. >> with sales reaching new heights, the hunt for the perfect spruce is on, but are you really getting what you think you're paying for? this morning, how to avoid a big evergreen error. ♪ and we certainly do say good

morning, america. we appreciate you starting your tuesday morning with us. we'll begin with the latest on the pandemic and battle to eliminate this virus. the situation here in america grim right now with hospitalizations approaching 100,000 for the first time. warnings of a rising death toll through the winter but hope as well as we close in on vaccine approval. a cdc advisory panel is meeting later today to recommend who will be the first to get the vaccine when one is approved by the fda. >> top health officials saying people could start getting their shots before christmas. steve osunsami starts us off. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. the meeting at the cdc could tell us, for example, if doctors or nurses get the vaccine before anyone else. the health experts who are meeting here will actually take a vote on what they recommend. a group of independent experts are holding an emergency meeting at the cdc to vote on who they

recommend should get the coronavirus vaccine first. with only enough medicine for about 20 million people expected by the end of this year, authorities are having to prioritize. already health officials have said that seniors with underlying health conditions and doctors who treat covid patients should be put at the front of the line. what they decide today will be nonbinding and will ultimately be up to state and local officials to choose where the doses go first. >> by the time we get to april, there would likely have taken care of all the high priority and then the general population of the normal healthy young man or woman 30 years old who has no underlying conditions can walk into a cvs or to a walgreens and get vaccinated. >> reporter: the goal at this point is for the vaccine to be available to most americans by next summer, but in the meanwhile, drugmaker pfizer is moving supplemental shipments from production in belgium to this storage facility in kalamazoo, michigan, so that the minute the fda says it's okay

for emergency use, those first shots will be ready to rush across the country. the potential vaccine from pfizer and another from moderna could be authorized for emergency use after fda meetings in the next few weeks. >> we have been clear about the fact we're not going to cut corners and the authorization process although expedited has very similar criteria to what we would use for the regular approval of a vaccine. >> reporter: for millions a safe and effective vaccine can't come soon enough. there are nearly 100,000 americans currently hospitalized with covid-19, a new record and the infection rates doubled from october to november. in new york state governor andrew cuomo is warning that another major shutdown could be on the way and is calling for help from retired healthcare workers. >> every hospital has to identify retired nurses and doctors now. we're already experiencing staff shortages.

>> reporter: dr. ann sax berg says the numbers are so concerning that she's coming out of retirement to help for a second time since the pandemic started. >> i wish that in that we would recognize that we're all in this boat together. some people die of this, and we really need to take care of each other. >> reporter: health officials say it's still not clear how much immunization is actually provided after taking one of these vaccines but there is some encouraging news. that say that say from moderna early results show it's 94% effective in preventing disease. >> thank good there is for that. we're joined by dr. tom frieden, former cdc director. dr. frieden, thank you for joining us. take us inside this prioritization process deciding who is going to get the vaccine and when. you've got about 20 million

doses, but you have 87 million essential workers, 53 million over the age of 65. millions more with chronic conditions. how do you decide? >> you want to look at three things, one, how much good will you do? how many lives will you save? second is what's fair? what's the fair way to do it, and the third is, how can we do this openly, transparently, so there's no backroom deals, it's clear what is happening, and the committee that's meeting today is the right group to do that. they are the top experts in the country on vaccines and they consider all those factors. in terms of maximum benefit you want to really focus on nursing homes. that's where 40% of the deaths have been. in terms of fairness, you want to make sure doctors and nurses an all healthcare workers, not just the people you may see stories about but the people cleaning the floors and checking people in, the people who are exposed and are at risk not just of getting it but spreading it. those three principles are what guide and this kind of decision is a healthy way to have this

prioritization done. >> you're right. transparency is important and the vaccine still needs to be approved. we're hoping for it to happen within days. can anything slow that down? >> we do expect approval to come pretty soon, but i would also expect there to be bumps in the road in the vaccination program. when you vaccinate millions of people, some people get really sick after the vaccination and you don't know whether that was the vaccine or that was just coincidence so that has to be studied carefully or you're going to get all sorts of wild rumors flying around. that's another place where you really need transparency. this is how many cases of severe adverse effects we may have or may expect. is it higher? is it related? there may be production problems. there may be rumors. there may be people who don't want to take it even if you do have the vaccine so this is probably, george, the single most complicated vaccination program in american history. >> even though it's -- >> i would expect there will be some bumps in the road. >> no question about that. and as we wait for the vaccine,

it certainly appears all signs are pointing toward a dark winter before relief in the spring. >> even though the vaccine news is very encouraging, it's not here yet and, therefore, we have to double down on safety protocols or we're going to see the worst season we've yet had for covid. we've already as you show reaching 100,000 hospitalizations in the next week or so, we'll hit 2,000 deaths per day on average in the next few weeks, sadly. we can all do more. and the more we recognize we're in it together, the safer we'll be, the more we can continue our kids in school and health care and we have to dial back on indoor gatherings and making sure we all mask up. >> finally, there are reports the virus is circulating here in the united states as early as last december. how much does that change what we know about the virus? >> we still need to understand more about these reports. some of the tests that are being used, antibody tests can have

false positives but ultimately what we know now is the virus is in more places at higher numbers than it has ever been in the u.s. that's why it's so important that all of us take steps to protect ourselves, our families and our communities with the three ws -- wear a mask, watch your distance and wash your hands. >> important reminders, thanks for your time. there is good news though in the battle against the virus overseas. the world health organization reporting global cases are down for the first time since september after several countries ordered a new round of restrictions including england which has seen a dramatic decline in cases. maggie rulli is live in london for us this morning. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. finally, a bit of good news and seems strict lockdowns are working. today is our last day of that month-long lockdown here in england and the latest numbers show a 30% decrease in the total number of cases. now, guys, this is exactly the way that we want to see the

numbers going, especially as we head into the holidays, but officials are quick to warn that we are no where near being out of the woods yet. that's why they're really trying to come out of this lockdown slowly so there are still going to be various restrictions in place across england and across the uk. here in london, households will still not be able to socialize indoors and the goal is christmas, the holidays are what we're thinking about right now, and the hope is if we crack down now fast and early that maybe we will get some relief by the holidays. robin. >> speaking of relief we hear that people there across the pond, maggie, could start getting the vaccine in just days? >> reporter: yeah, robin. it looks like the uk could be just steps away from actually giving people a vaccine. now, right now officials are in an emergency approval process and they're reviewing the data, and while it's impossible to

know exactly how long that process is going to take, what we do know is that there is a massive effort under way to prepare for this rollout of the vaccine. we're seeing vaccination centers being set up, volunteers are being trained on how to administer the vaccine so everything is being put in motion so that once this approval is granted, the whole country will be ready to go, guys. >> such encouraging news, all right, maggie, thanks so much. michael. >> all right, robin, thank you. we're going to turn now to the new storm system that is on the move and overnight there are at least four reported tornadoes in florida with winds up to 105 miles per hour. ginger is tracking the latest for us. good morning, as always, ginger. >> good morning, michael. rotation in florida and also all the way north of philadelphia, pennsylvania. this was a long stretching storm system. i want to go ahead and start you out in florida, though, that ef-1 tornado with 105-mile-per-hour winds north of tallahassee along the state line and also the video from just north of philadelphia. that likely tornado damage in north wales, pennsylvania.

they'll get out there and survey it today. in plymouth, massachusetts, it was not a tornado but 89-mile-per-hour wind gust that was just sustained. we had 60 to 90-mile-per-hour gusts from long island right up through new england and flash flooding to boot. now that storm has moved out and we've got the back side of it to deal with, michael. >> all right, ginger, also, i don't know if anybody wants to hear it, there's a brutal, brutal blast of cold and snow that's hitting the country from cleveland to atlanta. >> michael, it's colder in houston by almost 20 degrees this morning than it is here in new york. so let's go ahead and look at what's happening. cleveland is picking up anywhere from 6 to 8 inches when all is said and done but slick roads, out this morning, also all the way through pittsburgh, snow into western new york. you've got jamestown still in that winter storm warning. i wanted to bring you pictures from atlanta too. they had their first flurry of the season. that's how deep this cold is. we have freeze warnings this morning all the way from rock springs, texas to, wildwood, florida. so, yeah, the chill is deep,

michael. >> tell my momma down in houston, get your jacket out. it's that time of the year. thank you so much. we get the latest on president trump's losing battle to overturn the election. all six states where he contested results have now certified that joe biden won as republicans worry the president will undermine their chances in two critical senate elections if he continues to attack gop officials in georgia. mary bruce tracking it all. >> reporter: president trump's attempts to derail joe biden's victory and overturn the results of the election have failed in every single state that trump contested but the president is still going, railing against these states, going after their republican officials, and now there are concerns the president's false claims could have lasting consequences for republicans. as state after state certified joe biden's victory, president trump is now turning on his fellow republicans, furious they won't overturn the will of voters. overnight trump taking aim at arizona's governor doug ducey for signing off on the results

in his state. a win for biden and democratic senator-elect mark kelly, the president tweeting, why is he rushing to put a democrat in office especially when so many horrible things concerning voter fraud are being revealed. but there was no fraud and trump's team has put forth zero evidence. ducey defending the integrity of the vote in his state writing, i've been pretty outspoken about arizona's election system and bragged about it quite a bit including in the oval office. in georgia, where biden's victory was finalized over a week ago, trump is still attacking republican officials. as the state gears up for two runoff races that will determine control of the senate, there's now growing concern among republicans that trump's baseless unproven conspiracy theories could cost them votes. the chair of the rnc ronna mcdaniel asked by one republican voter why they should even bother to vote if the president says the whole system is rigged. >> how are we going to vote when it's already decided --

>> it's not decided. >> how do we know -- >> it's not decided. >> reporter: republicans are still counting on president trump to help drive turnout in those georgia runoff races. the president is expected to rally his supporters there this weekend. meanwhile, joe biden today continuing to forge ahead. he'll be announcing in person his history-making economic team. george, this is part of his attempt to make good on his promise to diversify the white house and to address income inequality and help working families. >> laying the groundwork for january 20th when he will be president. the president's effort is futile based on false claims but one big side benefit for president trump. >> reporter: the side benefit is a massive amount of money. president trump has reportedly raised more than $150 million for his official election defense fund. this is a huge amount of money raised off completely misleading claims and appeals for his attempt to overturn the election results. now, a fraction of this money will likely go to fund whatever is left of the president's legal fight here but most of this

money there is very few restrictions on any of this and most of it will likely go to fund the president's own personal activities, presidential political activities once he leaves the white house, george. >> mary bruce, thanks very much. we have that dramatic rescue. a man found clinging to his capsized boat in the atlantic off the coast of florida. this morning, we're hearing more from the moment he was pulled from the water. t.j. holmes here with that for us. good morning, t.j. >> reporter: the chances of finding this guy were slim. that's the word that a coast guard commander used. he was found floating 86 miles offshore, giving you an idea, the distance between new york and philly, way out there. he was found clinging to what he could. a life-saving rescue at sea. >> we just rescued one person from a capsizing boat. >> reporter: stuart bee found 86 miles off the coast of florida sunday morning clinging to his boat. >> my crew is taking care of him, give him some blankets and

some dry clothes. >> reporter: the 63-year-old took his boat out friday morning from port canaveral marina but when he didn't return a marina member alerted the coast guard. >> i had been working on the engines, squealing noises and several parts on it. i was working on it, but i was asleep when the water gushed in the back and forced me up to the front. >> reporter: for hours bee latched on to a small piece of the boat's bow that remained above water and he admits he started to lose hope. >> i thought this is it, and then i saw a container vessel in the distance and i don't have my glasses, i couldn't see if it was coming to me or not. but i began waving and took my shirt off and wave periodically. >> i can tell you i cannot imagine the feeling that you had when you saw that vessel coming. >> reporter: nearly a day and a half after his nightmare began, you can see him hoisting himself

up. and he's okay in good health and he's just hitching a ride with that vessel right now and will dock in delaware pretty soon. the mariners found him, not the coast guard, so this shows about the family of mariners out there looking for each other. >> the seattle mariners? no. >> robin. >> sorry. we have a lot more coming up including felicity huffman. her first role since serving time plus, new details on lori loughlin's life behind bars. and the latest on tony hsieh mysterious death in that house fire. back to ginger first. michael has to grab his jacket after his momma gets hers, because we will feel the chill eventually. let's get to tuesday trivia sponsored by target. trivia sponsored by target.

her husband finally feel confident enough to book their first major trips with their 18-month-old son, heading to colombia and turkey. >> we've gone ahead and made those decisions and those commitments knowing that this is now sort of light at the end of the tunnel too. everybody unable to travel for most of 2020 to the destinations that they've wanted to. >> reporter: almost all of these deals need to be booked today and i would add a few caveats. we're not talking about travel now. the cdc has warnings about some of the destinations we mentioned. we're primarily talking about post-vaccine travel, and because of the pandemic, most companies are factoring in the instability of planning and offering very flexible date change and cancellation options, but this is important, read the fine print carefully before you book. robin. >> that's so true, and we're hearing this word on the street, people are actually taking their budget from canceled 2020 trip, using it to go big in 2021 while scoring some big savings, becky? >> you are so right.

big once in a lifetime trips are the biggest opportunity to save. i'm going to give you some examples. msc cruises has $1400 off with fare discounts, on board credits, kids sail free promotions, and lion world travel is offering african safaris for $500 off per person. great trips. i can't wait. >> yes, i know. i'm just looking at that backdrop. you really look like you're already there on the beach. put on the sunscreen. she is a hawaii girl. she knows it. thank you as always. it is not just travel tuesday. no, no, no, it is also giving tuesday. we have some incredible surprises coming up in our next hour for some incredible people, michael. >> absolutely. we sure do. coming up next we have the answer to that big mystery monolith. the new twist. it is our "play of the day." ♪ ♪ over video calls. with sweatpants. house plants. and a 3pm happy dance.

how have you been able to build such a strong, loyal community online like you have? >> yeah, yeah, well, i started as a makeup artist like you said where i would see people spend thousands on a single product that wasn't justified. so i started creating videos sharing a little bit of my knowledge about skin care and as i grew i created a tiktok account a few months ago and that's where my videos started to go viral about skincare information. my main focus is always to spread the message that you don't need to have a lot of money to have a good skincare routine and take care of your skin. >> people really do appreciate that. okay, so you are going to give us some of your top tips, right? >> yes. >> so let's begin with tip number three, your tip on winter skincare. >> yes, so taking care of your skin in the winter you should really focus on moisturizing your skin by using a rich hydrating moisturizer overnight. it's also good to make sure you

avoid overly drying treatments like stripping alcohol toners or really harsh scrubs to make sure you protect the moisture barrier and make sure you're wearing a sunscreen every day. >> always wear sunscreen, that's so key. your tip number two has to do with necessary ingredients, i love this, at every age. tell us, hyram. >> i think that teenagers should be using the ingredient salicylic acid which exfoliates pores and prevents breakouts and you can find them in cleansers. i think young adults should use niacinamide which is great for controlling oiliness and getting rid of redness. you can find this in a lot of serums. late 20s, good idea to use retinol which will help to prevent against long-term aging and damage and you can find retinol in a lot of serums and moisturizers as well. if you're in your 30s, i recommend using a richer moisturizer that has dimethicone that will prevent against water loss which contributes to

long-term dryness and aging. >> all right, hyram, you're on a roll here. a drum roll your number one tip, drum roll, please. [ drum roll ] all right, long drum roll. hyram, tell us, must-have products, what do you recommend? >> yes, so i believe that everyone should have four products in their skincare routine. first a cleanser, just to make sure you're properly cleaning your pores. second, a treatment which can either be an exfoliating toner which will help to get rid of dead skin cells on the fast to -- on the surface of your skin to make sure you look more glowy or an anti-aging serum like a retinol to prevent against long-term aging and damage within the skin. third, a moisturizer to make sure that you're properly hydrating your skin to make sure it's protected. and fourth, like i said, using a proper sunscreen every single day. >> okay, we have a bonus question. you have so many followers. we wanted to hear from one. this is lauren from new york.

take a look. >> hi, hyram. do you have any secrets about skin care i need to know? >> any secrets? >> hi, lauren. hi, lauren. yes, so i would say one of the biggest secrets i would say is to make sure you avoid diy skin care. diy skin care can be highly irritating to the face and in reality you don't know the right concentrations and mixtures of certain ingredients that will be beneficial for the skin. so it's best to trust chemists who have had the proper training and education to be able to create skincare products to make sure you take care of your skin. >> good advice as always. delight to meet you. thank you so much. >> nice to meet you. >> appreciate that. >> to see more of the influencers go to goodmorningamerica.com. tomorrow, another influencer, jason derulo, joining us to help announce some of tiktok's top videos of the year and hyram, he may be on that list. coming up next on this giving tuesday, we've got a really big surprise for a passionate teenager on a mission to help end hunger.

season of giving to a whole new level. we'll talk to him live in just a minute. but first, take a look at how he got his sweet mission of helping those in need off the ground. >> so now i'm going to pack all of these up into this box and head out the door. >> reporter: 15-year-old michael platt has been hard at work during the covid-19 pandemic. he's donated thousands of snack packs, healthy shelf stable snacks for kids to local food pantries. >> covid has had a really big impact on childhood food insecurity. before covid it was one in seven kids that be food insecure and now it's one in four. >> reporter: passionate about ending hunger he realized it created an even greater need for kids. >> kids are no longer in school so they are not getting the two meals they would have gotten from school. >> marvelous, michael, fantastic. all right. >> reporter: michael is no stranger to giving back.

he's the owner of michael's desserts, a one for one company. every dessert sold buys a dessert for someone in need leading up to giving tuesday. he's been using his platform to promote kindness encouraging kids to participate in 12 tuesdays of giving. >> they can just do one simple act of giving every week. >> reporter: michael's efforts have gained the attention of community leaders. >> michael, you're affecting and impacting so many people, more than you know. >> reporter: as well as kids he has encouraged. >> michael, congratulations. thank you so much for inspiring others with your great work. >> reporter: and continues to impress his biggest fan. >> i'm proud of you, thank you very much. i love you. >> i love you too. >> oh, michael and his biggest fan, his mom, they both join us now.

it's wonderful to have you here especially on giving tuesday. >> thank you. >> thank you. and, michael, tell us how this all came about, when the pandemic started, how you came up with this plan to get these snack packs to kids in need. >> yes, so, before covid and everything, i was doing snack packs and i was still giving to my food pantry. but i would do it like during the summer, during the week when kids were in school so i kind of knew that kids not being in school took a huge toll on them getting food so once kids were out of school for covid and we had no idea when they were going to go back, i very much upped my efforts by giving back to my food pantry and upping my efforts to make sure they had food because we don't know when they'll go back to school and just getting them food even if they aren't in school, a very important thing, so that's why i did that during covid. >> danita, we can see how proud you are. you've done something really right.

>> thank you. we are certainly proud of michael. he is a good kid. he has a big heart and he's just that kid who's always quietly thinking about how he can help others. >> and it's amazing to have such a good outlook at 15. from one michael to another you give back so much, michael. we want to give you something, so check this out. you see that, it's a table of spices and flavorings. you see it right there. our friends at mccormick are giving you a one-year supply of that, but that's not all. you're also getting a one-on-one experience with their executive chef to explore a new dessert recipe for your business as well. that's pretty cool. >> yes. >> so and we need a little sampling of whatever you come up with here at the studio. can't go without that. we're not done yet. mccormick is so inspired by you, michael, they're also donating $50,000 in your honor to
