we are going to check in with vendor built university -- with vanderbilt university school of medicine about the cases we are seeing in europe. this is bloomberg. ♪ [speaking french] >> the weeks ahead will be tough. our hospitals and health care services are facing a tough challenge, and the number of dead will increase. guy: the french prime ministers speaking about the rapid increase in covid cases that france is seeking. joining us now, dr. william schatzker. thank you for your time. we are sitting in europe watching cases climb and climb rapidly. france is at 40,000 plus. the u.s. is at 77,000. the u.s. seems to be climbing, but with a lag. do you think it is going to catch up with where europe is right now. becauseoks like we are people are opening up carelessly and in a carefree manner rather than being careful. andover most of the states now, we see increases, including sadly in my own state of tennessee. cases are steadily increasing, and we anticipate even more with the coming of the winter season because more people will be indoors, closer together for more prolonged period

. >> during the discussion now is caroline randle williams, a writer in residence at vanderbilt universitywas watching the debate and hope you could make more sense of it than i can. there is that moment that is generally agreed upon to be the headline moment of what we saw last night. what was your reaction to what we witnessed last night? >> i think my first reaction is to think wow. we are reliving history, you know. as moved as i am by what jon said and tweeted and what you said. you know, you made a distinct point that it was the most racist thing an american president said that was able to speak into a microphone, right. read thomas jefferson's papers, my god. you know racism is sort of built into the fabric of american democracy. i think when i watch that, i thought white supremacists have been standing back and standing by to ensure that white supremacy was the order of the day during american elections since the country began. you know what breaks my heart, lawrence, is actually to think about john lewis who was willing to risk his life and face dogs and guns in 1965 to figure out

. >> there is a new study out of vanderbilt on masks. it looks at the state of tennessee but it's telling. in terms of hospitalizations where at least 75% of patients were subject to a local mask requirement, covid hospitalizations were about the same level now that they were at the beginning of july. in places where fewer than 25% of patients were subject to a local mask mandate, they saw a 200% increase in hospitalizations now versus the first of july. what more do we need to show that everyone needs to wear masks and that a national mask mandate may not only be in the health benefit of this country but the economic benefit of this country? >> it's in the economic and the social benefit of the country. i'd love to be able to hug my grandchildren over the holidays, and the only way we'll be able to do that is understand that the science tells us clearly that the use of masks, social distancing, et cetera, is important. not just in large public gatherings, supermarkets, post offices, stores when we go out to vote. but also when we're in

has suspended trials on an antibody treatment against code 19 this is how dr william schaffner at vanderbilt framed the news take a listen this is standard operating procedure it shows that the system is working it shows that people are be very careful on behalf of the volunteers and i think we need to not draw too many conclusions because as i say these are the sorts of things that can happen so dr if i go to get do you agree is there no reason to be alarmed by these 2 suspensions. you know these suspensions are typical and they are doing it out of abundance of caution because the if they were trying to russians they would basically keep on rolling people while they investigate right now they're suspending a roman while they investigate and again in these kind of trials the out with the want to do a full review of the medical record if you're off slope with the sure cause of it and maybe exclude those kind of patients in the future but at the bottom line this is a good thing and normally if it happened with any other trials that countless thousands that happen every year you we want to hear

before that vanderbilt and missouri canceled because of the coronavirus and quarantining of players.m "usa today," christine, it is great to see you and terrible to talk about what's going on here. you wrote, quote, this is utterly predictable and what's happening is ultimaterly shameful. did arrogance lead to this, in your opinion. >> absolutely. ar began among a lot of football coaches and players. this has been true for decades because i've covered this sport a long time. there's a sense you can never show weakness. you can never have anything other than this grand, grand confidence. it's a big shouldered sport. we love it. i love college football. i grew up watching it in fledo, university of michigan, but that is certainly right now the problem. the sense that college football can take on covid. we know that just is not the case, that college football is going to have a difficult time handling covid-19. you knew it when they decided to play college football. we see it in a bigger way, brianna. this is the riskiest roll of the dice we've seen in college life, not just sports. 18

. >> vanderbilt university professor thomas schwartz talks about his book "henry kissinger and american power: a political biography." he then takes questions from a panel of scholars. the national history center hosted this online event and provided the video. prof. schwartz: thank you so much. i want to thank the commentators and everyone for assembling this. i am deeply honored, especially to be given the william roger lewis lecture. we were on the state department committees suffering from bows and arrows. this book came about, and many of my friends have heard me give this origin story. this book came about because of the review i did that mention the series that was used biography to teach history. it would hit biographical topics or would use a representative biography to get at a broader subject of history. they had just published their first volume, it was on pocahontas because of the issues regarding native american history. they were looking for someone to do something on american foreign relations. he offered me the opportunity to put together a perspective. these were suppo

each time we see these studies this comes out of vanderbilt. reflect counties that had mask mandates or didn't. july 1st is the line on the left. and you see october 23rd is all the way to the ride of the graph. that first graph is counties that did not have mask mandates for more than 25%. the second graph is counties that had mask mandates in 25 to 50% of their counties. all the way on the right now, it is counties that had mask mandates in 75% of their counties. you see there that the hospitalization rate is basically the same. so mask mandates made a difference. counties where they wore masks tended to have much lower hospitalization rates than counties that didn't. 200% and basically the same no change. people who wear masks may be more likely to engage in better public health behaviors but there is compelling and overwhelming wave of evidence now in terms of the effectiveness of masks. it's easy to do and could make a huge difference. >> what i find odd from the governor of south dakota is this idea of shaming, that, if states don't want
