mother, as a daughter, to ask you to just please hold on a little while longer. i so badly want to be done. i know you also badly want to be done. we are almost there, but not quite yet. >> dr. wilensky blamed the recent spike on three factors, travel increasing, easing restrictions, and more variants. she is encouraging so encouragin distancing guidelines with easter coming up this weekend. she was positive about the progress u.s. has made with vaccines. about 140 million vaccine doses have been administered, nationwide. now, dr. a little patel is a member of the team, it is great to see you as always. >> great to see you, dan. >> let's

potential fourth wave. vaccines are picking up rapidly, every day. it is giving people a lot of confidence -- may be false confidence. how worried are you about a fourth wave? >> i'm worried about the concoction we have that could cause a fourth wave as outlined by dr. wilensky. we have these rising variants whch might be more contagious, maybe even be less effective against them. we have loosening restrictions, we have young people traveling. remember, even though the vaccines are making problems, this large country has not vaccinated yet. we definitely have the setup to cause a fourth wave.fourth wave. we have the tools needed to prevent it. >> even though vaccines are picking up, most people have not been vaccinated. almost after every holiday they can think of, christmas, thanksgiving, there has been a spike. are you concerned about a spike as a result of easter? what are your recommendations? >> i have to say, it is crazy to me. just yesterday, we were talking about easter last year in 2020.

we know, you and i have had the song and dance on air before, there is the setup for any holiday. not only do we havehaveha hindus are celebrating holy. i have friends who are celebrating passover. unfortunately, a year later, the same rules applyrules applyy of being safe when you have a family gathering. you know what to do when it comes to isolating, getting tested if you want to meet up with friends and family, and we have new cdc guidelines where you can do it if you are vaccinated. now is not the time to give up those restrictions and celebrate. we are almost there. >> don't trip at the finish line is what i like to say. vaccines are clearly helping. the eligibility goes down. obviously, that doesn't mean everyone has been vaccinated. you touched on this a little bit. despite what is happening with the vaccines, three of them widely available now, we are not quite at the point where we can relax. >> we are not, but i will start by giving good news.

we have yet another piece of data showing us the vaccines work. a recent study shows that they are 90% effective. -- not only preventing hospitalizations and death,and , effects of all kinds. the supply is there. we will turn out more vaccines, the distribution will be a challenge. we need to make sure there is equitable distribution across the country. 93 million americans have gotten one dose. 50 million americans are fully vaccinated. in order to get to herd immunity, to get to 80% levels, we need more than a couple hundred million americans to get vaccinated. hopefully, we will be able to get there. on paper, by this summer. if we loosen up, fall asleep at the finish line -- fall asleep and let the tortoise pass us -- we might push the goal line further away. >>

19th, he intends 90% of americans will be eligible to be vaccinated. that's only three weeks from now. 75% of americans over the age of 65 will have received at least one shot. certainly, we are moving towards herd immunity. you suggest, maybe by summer, the only thing that would derail that surge? >> you know, a search would derail this if people don't go get the vaccine, that would turn us away from herd immunity. if people are worried while scientists are studying, they can write their own story and become the dominant strain -- we see vaccines being less effective. one thing i want to echo regarding a fourth wave, a large portion of americans the age of 65 have gotten the vaccine. fingers crossed we will not see hospitalizations or debts as we saw in the first three waves. that is at least a little bit of a cushion, but not one we should rely on. we can have sickness and

crowding of the healthcare system, basically we are moving backwards if we act like we are out of the mess. >> we are not out of the mess yet. on the encouraging side, at least we are having this kind of conversation, where six or eight months ago, it was a different conversation. we are starting to have a more positive conversation, a light at the end of the tunnel. >> i agree with you. it's i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years.

either, which means they will need public transit or to drive. personally, i think that could be good, no free lunch, because then they have to support local businesses that are near the big headquarters. what do you think? >> i think you are exactly right. the other point to that is that facebook could be for them. you are right. supporting local businesses is crucial in this time. >> it could save these companies money, too. all right. you've got to get a load of this thing. a new shoe dropped designed by lil nas x and the art collective, mschf. they are called satan shoes. the nike air max 97 as a drop of real human blood. their price is a reference to the bible. it is all 666 pairs of satan
