professor christopher nolan thank you from austrian and national university medical school.ntre for where that debate is continuing ahead of the expected confirmation of president trump's latest supreme court nominee amy coney barrett are currently speaking is mitch mcconnell and we are expecting that vote to go through tonight, there has been criticism that it has moved rather quickly but the republican controlled chamber is all but certain to confirm judge barrett to the lifetime position. that would result in a 6—3 conservative majority on the 9—member court which would tilt its ideological balance for potentially decades to come. safer that here on bbc news. plenty more coming up. hello there. pretty powerfuljet stream will be racing across the atlantic for much this week, generated by some big temperature contrasts across the united states. that will bring areas of low pressure to our shores, bringing rain and gales and huge waves crashing up against western coast lines. but it will be turning milder the end of week in the south. this very deep area of low pressure cont

of health, it sits right next to the uniformed services university, which is basically a university medical school, so you're in the middle of this huge federal/military medical complex like nothing else on the planet. also the president is getting access to these treatments from regeneron and getting treatment for remdesivir. what do you make of those two options, particularly since they're not fully vetted for general use for every day people? >> yeah, first of all, i couldn't great with you more about water reed. this is a real national center of excellence. in fact, walter reed himself was the one who discovered about yellow fever, another virus. so it's pretty interesting that this is where the president is being treated for a virus. but in terms of the treatments that the president is receiving, both of these are relatively experimental treatments. remdesivir has an emergency use authorization but it's a new anti-viral that was developed for ebola, now being tested on covid-19. but the regeneron monoclonalbod before. most americans just don't have access to this type of care. we want everybo

carlos dell rio associate dean at emery university medical school. good to see you. >> good seeing you, fred. >> so in your view could these record numbers have been avoided by more people doing the basics? >> yeah, and unfortunately we have grossly mishandled the pandemic and the fact that it's taken off again, it just reminds us how we're not learning from our mistakes. we could have avoided this by doing the right thing, but we don't seem to learn. and i think besides the things that we have talked about about masking, social distancing, washing your hands, it's really important that we avoid large crowds, congregate settings, especially indoors, indoor congregation, in bars and houses is a concern. i'm very concerned about what's going to happen next. we're about to enter the winter season. people will be indoors. we're about to enter the holiday season. i see cases only going up if we don't do the appropriate things. >> and with the holiday season, fast approaching, i mean there are people who are feeling so fatigued and frustrated by coronaviru

carlos del rio, he is the executive associate dean at emory university medical school and a contributormoderna vaccine trial in cooperation with the national institutes of health. these numbers, dr. del rio, are deeply troubling. you look at the number of new cases, 71,000. that's a big number. 41,000 hospitalizations. that is a big number and they're both trending upwards. the president keeps on saying at the debate last night we're turning a corner. i don't know that these graphs are telling that story. >> unfortunately, john, we're not. if we're turning the corner, the corner is turning uphill, right? not downdownhill. and i'm very concerned that the increase in cases and the really uncontrolled outbreak in the midwest and great plains is really troublesome. we are easily going to reach, you know, 90 to maybe 100,000 case is if we don't stop this. and it's not going to be easy, but again, this goes back to the basics. we have to wear masks, we have to social distance, we have to wash our hands, we have to avoid crowds. we have to avoid close conglomerate settings. if we do that, we c

and dr bihari come here is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school my colleague kamar santamaria asked him about the president's condition. president trump may have had a mild infection and it clearly shows that he's made a pretty good recovery if all his test results are to be believed so it is and carly forceable to be unwell for a few days and get better you do not have to have a prolonged illness some people of course have a very for a long and severe illness but there is a lot of variability in do how long and when he is ill fall but you can still be contagious and i think that's probably the point after a lot of people are looking at him and he just want to the white house took off his mask and and went in he will he may be better course on course but he is still probably be contagious all without a doubt and i feel very sad i feel sad because president trump may wish to do whatever he wishes to do but he is a leader of one of the most powerful nations on planet and as a result some responsibilities come with that and there are people who work in the white

dr bharat pankhania is a senior clinical lecturer at university of exeter medical school. this officially a second wave? you hear so many people say it is a resurgence, a search, is it a second wave?|j people say it is a resurgence, a search, is it a second wave? i like to call it a continuation of the first wave. you see, a second wave, third wave, etc, gives the impression that it is a new occurrence, whereas to be truthful what we are doing is riding a roller—coaster wave in that our cases went up when it was first introduced, it went down when we went into lockdown and now it is going up as we have come out of the restricted movements. so, given that we are going up, should we be alarmed? 0r we are going up, should we be alarmed? or is itjust the natural, you kind of would have expected this? in a way, you would have expected it because this is a human—to—human transmission of infection and as soon as human activities restart, case numbers will go up. unfortunately for the uk, this is so unfortunate, we went into lockdown late, therefore our lockdown was prolonged and

surrounded by world class medical care 247 for some medical perspective we spoke to dr who is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school in the u.k. we talked about the president's condition. president trump may have had a mild infection and it clearly shows that he's made a pretty good recovery if all his test results are to be believed so it is and carly forceable to be unwell for a few days and get better you do not have to have a prolonged illness some people of course have a very for a long and severe illness but there is a lot of variability in do how long and when he is ill fall but you can still be contagious and i think that's probably the point after a lot of people are looking at him and he just walked into the white house took off his mask and and went in he will he may be better course on course but he is still probably be contagious all without a doubt and i feel very sad i feel sad because president trump may wish to do whatever he wishes to do but he is a leader of one of the most powerful nations on planet and as a result some responsibilities come with that and there are people who work in the white h

with this i said i will directly write to the federal government, and we got the best medical school in the university so what about the medical research that the focus group just like any other controlled substance or drug and in the meantime there are alternatives to those who are in pain i'm not against researching this medically but we need to do this before we can respond in an intelligent way. >>. >> and with the complete deregulation and legalization of all forms of cannabis. first of all, let me make one thing really really clear. we you the two candidates in a nutshell is to reward big pharma with medical marijuana keeping it from the citizens of indiana and that is wrong. is plain wrong. we have an economic crisis in our state. and with those retail opportunities for hoosier business owners just by legalizing and decriminalizing cannabis and any other discussion needing to research is something that has been around for decades is just misinformation and should be insulting to every hoosier. >> 34 states have already done the research, governor and coming to the same conclusion that i have is

currently a visiting scholar at the national bioethics center and at tuskegee university and i'm also a fellow at harvard medical school and both research bioethics and and on narrative ethics i am going to jump straight into the you cheap comments when i would it's knew we were doing this show this this comment here are you kidding are you not aware of the deep mistrust afro americans have about the medical system review your history of medical apartheid and genocide in the u.s. we ain't having none of it it's. impact that you know. yeah there is a lot to unpack there and this is you know as the writer said this is deeply rooted in history this is deeply rooted in 400 years of oppression in this country and then of course colonialism outside of this country going even further back i mean the fact is you know the reason we have trials distance to ensure that vaccines are therapeutics are safe and effective but they need to be safe and effective for everybody and if we don't include everybody then they're less reliable and so in this country where we've got a history that that i know glenn was going to speak to so well

the director of medical ethics at new york university grossman school of medicine, arthur caplan, told president has been moved to the walter reed military hospital. i think my guess is it is because his symptoms are worsening and he is in such a high risk group, as you just reported, that they want to be safe. so even though it is a medical unit at the white house, it's not a hospital, and if he's started to show more lethargy, more fever, if they are also looking at it in a 74—year—old man, i think that is what is going on. they are concerned. and as you said, they're giving him experimental antibodies which also they would not do if they were not pretty worried. —— unless they were pretty worried. tell us more about these experimental antibodies. it is a single dose of regeneron, we understand, that he's had. this is a non—approved, experimental medicine, if you will. it tries to take immune building cells that you manufacture... this is not the same as getting the transfusion from someone who has had the disease. it is artificially manufacturing those same chemicals. hopefully you

let's speak to arthur caplan, director of medical ethics at new york university grossman school of medicinebefore we talk about this treatment, i want to ask you about your thoughts about the president being moved to the walter reed medical centre, because we understand that there is a very well—equipped medical unit within the white house itself, fully staffed with a team of doctors. why do you think that his medical team would have taken that decision to move them to a hospital at this stage? i think my guess is it is because his symptoms are worsening and he is in such a high risk group, as you just reported, that they want to be safe, so even other is a medical unit at the white house, it is not a hospital and if you started to show more lethargy, more fever, if they are also looking at it in a 74—year—old man, ithink if they are also looking at it in a 74—year—old man, i think that is what is going on. they are concerned. and as you said, they're giving him experience antibodies which also they would not do if they we re which also they would not do if they were not pretty worried. tel

attended university of chicago school of medicine, former chief of neuro radiology at stanford university medical center. as i said before, on paper his credentials may sing, but anti-science blathering blows. he is a conservative media darling, going on the president's favorite cable news channel to say things the president likes to hear, touting herd immunity as solution to the virus from early days of the pandemic to as recently as last week. >> you can allow a lot of people to infected, those who are not at risk to die or have serious hospital requiring illness. we should be fine with letting them infected, generating immunity on their own, and the more i am unmmunity in the comm the better we can eradicate the threat of the virus, including the threat to people who are vulnerable. that's what herd immunity is. >> problem is, you can't do that without killing people. remember, herd i mmunity is nota health strategy. letting it rip through the population is mass murder, according to william hazelteen. that might be why he doesn't want to be caught outright pushing herd i am unmmunity. he claim

louis university, two first-right medical schools. i am really intrigued to learn that wash u and slu have opened their campuses and are not having clusters of covid. so they are doing something right. moderator: nicole galloway. state auditor galloway: covid has shown cracks in our system that have existed for a long time, but they have gotten wider and deeper with covid 19, particularly on the issue of health care, we have seven rural hospitals that have closed in the last seven years. we have a quarter million working missourians who don't have access to insurance, because we have yet expand educate, although voters did approve that in august. and it is estimated that because of this pandemic, 100,000 missourians have lost their health care care they got through their employer. i support medicaid expansion and implementing it in a way to keep our rural hospitals open, the mixer working people can have access to health care -- to make sure working people have access to health care. where you live shouldn't dictate if you have access

it sits right next to the uniform services university, which is basically a military medical school.here's a medical, dental, public health, allied professions school. so you're in the middle of this huge federal slash military medical complex like nothing else on the planet. also the president is getting access to these treatments from regeneron and getting treatment for remdesivir. what do you make of those two options, particularly since they're not fully approved, fully vetted for general use for everyday people? >> yeah. first of all, i couldn't agree with you more about walter reed. this is a real national center of excellence. in fact, walter reed himself was the one who discovered about yellow fever, another virus. so it's pretty interesting that this is where the president's being treated for a virus. but in terms of the treatments that the president's receiving, both of these are relatively experimental treatments. remdesivir, of course, has an emergency use authorization, but it's a new antiviral that was developed for ebola, now being tested on covid-19. but the regeneron

. >> joining me now, infectious diseases physician and medical director of the special pathogens unit at the boston university schooldelia. she is an nbc news and msnbc medical contributor. doctor, thank you so much for getting up early with us, because i think there are so many questions that have come out of what we learned and didn't learn over the weekend. let's start with this masks-optional situation. i think for many americans, certainly who work at big companies, that's not what's going on. should the white house implement a mask policy, in your opinion? >> yeah, kasie, i think we only have to look so far as most workplaces in the country have done this, partly because cdc guidance is that, indoors, it is much harder to keep that distance when you're in enclosed spaces and the ventilation is not as good. so, i would definitely recommend that. and you only have to look as far as what happened this saturday, you know. we've had a white house that's been heavily reliant on testing, which is an important part this. the testing helped them quickly pick up people who have been infected, but because others around t

would be a little bit more flexible if you like in that schools will remain open universities will shots however people still be able to go for medical appointments and public services will remain open so those are things that were shot during the april march april may knock down so little bit more flexibility but still it sounds as if it will be a very strict lockdown or germany is also heading into a months long lockdown with restaurants bars and james ordered to shop from monday people will be asked to not travel but schools and shops will remain open chancellor angela merkel has announced that he levon 1000000000 dollar relief program in the past they both italy and spain have also announced more than 20000 new cases. on through can. we can say that our health system can cope with the challenged today but if the pace of infections continues like this then we will reach the limits of what the health care system can manage with. as i shall has accused their many of the deadliest single incident in their months long conflict the government says 21 people were killed when armenian shells hit the town of part of that which is near the

especially washington university to the very first rate medical schools and it really intrigued to learn that. what covid has done is shown cracks in the system that have existed for a long time but they've gotten wider and deeper with covid-19, and particularly on the issue of healthcare. we have a quarter working that don't have access because we have yet to expand medicaid so the voters did approve that in august and it's estimated because of this pandemic, 100,000 have lost their healthcare that they got through their employer. i supported implementing it in a way to keep our hospitals open and to make sure that working people have access to healthcare particularly in the midst of this pandemic. where you live shouldn't dictate where you can get your healthcare. the ones i'm familiar with are in jefferson city where we live and i do agree we have a reliance on the foreign equipment and the medicines. one of the things i thought of as it got started. with depression and suicide and a whole lot of other issues. jerome, you are first. >> well, i would have universal basic income for all

and an infectious disease physician, medical director of the special pathogens unit, boston university school of medicine. she worked with the w.h.o. back when we were a member nation during the ebola outbreak. she's among our medical contributors for a good reason. mr. costa, i'd like to begin with you. talk about the peril, the risk versus reward of the president who was in the hospital a week ago going back out on the road for these rallies, entering air force one without a mask. no intention of depoliticizing mask wearing in the middle of an out of control pandemic. >> you just laid it all out there, brian, but the question is also the motivation here. why is he doing that? and based on my conversations with white house officials and president trump's political advisers he's seen polling publicly and privately that sees him down. and you look at those images out of georgia, a deep red state today as early voting begins and the republicans across the board whether it's senator cornyn in texas, senator graham on another network tonight expressing alarm about democrats fund-raising in his st
