jeremy faust of bregman and women's hospital. we will discuss why one electric truck start off is pulling off on many despite the need for millions of daughters to start -- dollars to start producing vehicles. stocks are weak today. we are seeing tach accelerating to the downside as we go along. concern about the stimulus package are heightened after secretary mnuchin said hopes for a deal before november 3 might be overly optimistic. you can see s&p 500 down .8%. there is the nasdaq down more than 1%. energy and industrials are doing well on the broad u.s. market, despite the warning from the iea that we may be heading toward peak oil demand in the next decade or so. we are seeing no help from tack across the broad market as is evidenced by the nasdaq. in toronto, energy doing well. tech is suffering. keeping eyes on financials today, the earnings they are offering up not enough to offset some concerns about the shape of economic recovery. it is a decidedly mixed picture, as we saw from the stocks and how they are responding. go

jeremy faust, thank you so much. this programming note, perhaps the question will be answered the mayor of el paso, texas, will join ana cabrera tonight at 7:00 eastern. >>> now to this cnn exclusive. back in august, the trump administration issued a new policy to improve flu vaccinate rates among children. a c investigation shows the move is not working. elizabeth cohen, what more are you learning? >> we have heard about the coming twindemmics, and we've been told, but many pharmacies will not vaccinate children. you know it's just easy to take it to a pharmacy in most cases. you don't have to take time off work or make an appointment, but look at this map. 30 states in the united states do not let pharmacists vaccinate children at all or vac nail children under a certain age, so you can't even go to pharmacies if you have children of a certain age. in august, the trump administration did something that was applauded by many public health experts. he said, look, pharmacists can give flu vaccines to thin ages 3 and p

jeremy faust, emergency physician at brigham and women's hospital in boston and instructor at harvard medical school dr. faust, i'm delighted to have you with us today. kelly and i have questions for you. let's talk about this rise in cases. is it a real rise in cases or is it, as the president said on "60 minutes" as the president said last night, a rise in testing? >> the thing that gives us those answers is hospitalizations and mortality. we are seeing a spike in hospitalizations and rises in mortality in various places and the country. so it's unfortunate that he's wrong, that this is real and that we're going into november now with pretty much the night sna -- nightmare scenario, which is rising cases and nothing to stem that tied. >> we have those comments from anthony fauci if we're weeks only from a vaccines are then shutting down certain industries could be a stopgap -- i think, i'm sorry, this is your opinion, then we should do shutdowns to bridge to that vaccine but we were just talking about an expert last hour who is not so sure. if it's not weeks or if it's months until

jeremy diamond joining us now, and jeremy faust and dr. patrice harris. doctors, to you, thanks so much for joining us, and on friday, the u.s. posted the highest number yet of new confirmed coronavirus cases in a single day. more than 83,000 americans diagnosed just yesterday. but the president has griped about news coverage of the pandemic at his campaign rallies. he is doing so throughout the day. here is what he said a while ago at a rally in ohio. >> covid, covid, covid, if a plane goes down with 500 people, they don't talk about it. all that -- they are trying to scare everybody. you have to lead your life and you have to get out, you have to be vigilant. be careful. socially distance. you get too close, put the mask on. put it on. lots of different things. >> so dr. faust, that is certainly not the first time he has done that today. when you here similar use covid as a laugh time as he is doing today, you hear him down playing that nearly 220,000 americans have died in the last several months. and saying, put the mask on if you have to. >> he is ac

jeremy faust on twitter, who attributed it to an abundance of caution due to potential safety concernseceived from lilly says "we are aware out of an abundance of caution the safety board has recommended a pause in enrollment. they are evaluating in hospitalized patients. it is sponsored by the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. we don't have any detail about what led to this cause lilly says it's supportive of that decision about the independent data safety monitoring goard to cautiously preserve the safety of those participating in the study a lot of folks involved in clinical trials say this happens in clinical trials they pause if something like weird and figure out if it's a pause with the drug or the trial and then they keep going we've been hearing with these. astrazeneca is on hold right now. we're just paying a lot more attention to all of these programs in the middle of this pandemic guys >> so to recap, we have two vaccine trials paused, astrazeneca's and johnson&johnson's just last night. this one was for a treatment we had the news last week that eli li

jeremy faust with brigham and woman's hospital. also a harvard university instructor.1,000 deaths in the united states on wednesday. should specific states be considering new lockdowns like europe? >> i think so. when we saw numbers in the spring, i think about back to march, when numbers were getting to where they were, we were absolutely heading towards draconian lockdowns. do we need to go draconian and not have people outside in some cases? i don't think so. but the kind of numbers we're seeing today if we had seen those in march, we would have been absolutely panicked. i'm not saying we should panic. i'm saying we should take it very seriously. and look and see what we know works and what we think is less important so that we can actually respond to this as opposed to sleepwalking into a crisis. >> the number of infections is enorm enormo enormous, but the number of deaths by comparison is really small. is that because we know how to treat it better or are we seeing deaths go up in -- explain to me this difference. >> this is a question on a lot of people's minds.

jeremy faust and abby phillip.ter says the president can be back in public on saturday, two days earlier than they indicated a few days ago. they say that's ten days since his diagnosis. what do you say? they say he's back out in public on the campaign trail. >> yeah. so once again, the brief by the president's physician is notable for what it doesn't describe, which is just about everything. and they resort to using this really obtuse language. the president's physician said based on the trajectory of diagnostics, the president can go back into public on saturday. what does that mean? based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics? tell us what tests you're referring to. what tests are reassuring you that the president is not infectious. the cdc guidelines state for most patients they can return to the public after about ten days of isolation after their symptoms begin. but they reserve 20 days of isolation for people with severe or critical illness, acknowledging that virus can be shed by those patients by up to

jeremy faust, emergency physician at brigham & women's hospital. he has been treating and is treating now coronavirus patients. and abby phillip, our political correspondent. so let me start with you, dr. reiner. what we're seeing here really looks like -- it's like something out of north korea. the dear leader comes out. right? with the magnificent helicopter entrance and up the stairs and off goes the mask as he pauses, you know, and preens for the shots. >> yeah. i was half expecting him to hold up a bible at the end of that shot. it's unexplainable that the president of the united states, who's actively shedding virus, millions of particles, would walk into that building with the enormous number of staff unmasked, shedding virus in the air in that building. it's really hard to understand how no one told him not to do that. and i think this is the problem that i've seen over the last several days. there doesn't seem to be anyone in charge of his care other than the president of the united states, other than the patient. i'm wondering how much of

jeremy faust, treated numerous coronavirus patients. i'm glad to have you back. the president. furs we were told -- one said he was asymptomatic. then it was mild symptoms. now we understand according to a source he's had a fever all day and a cough. white house doctor says he's been fatigued and now he's taken marine one to walter reed. when you take all of that and the fact that he got his diagnosis at 1:00 a.m. today, what do you think? >> what i think is this is a rapidly evolving situation and i don't mean that in the news and journalism sense. i mean that in the medical sense, a rapidly evolving situation, which is highly concerning. we doctors like to see things moving slow. things can get a little worse. they can get a little better. we like to see where things are, and we have a sense of the progression. this seems a little unstable. this seems a little out of control. we don't know. we saw -- we saw the president in a video, but we really don't know how he's doing. and it seems like every piece of information that we get is more news and it's concerning

jeremy faust is an emergency medicine doctor and coronavirus specialist at brigham and women's hospitalg in which he said optimistically that he expects the president to continue his duties and to convalesce, to get better. no—one can know that. we hope that's the case, on a human level, but the next 10—14 days are the most dangerous 10—14 days that the president of the united states has everfaced in his life. he could be doing proverbial cart wheels two weeks from now, or he could be intubated in an intensive care unit. these are going to be extremely tense moments for him and his family, and we all have to sit here and watch that. and it's going to be difficult. he does have several things working against him that we have learned. we've learned so much about this virus in such a short period of time. we know that obesity, which he has, is a risk factor for serious and critical cases. we know that his age is an undeniable risk factor. 90 times more likely to die than a person in their 20s would be. we know that even the male gender is a problem, and there is a little bit of a predispos
