not everybody will go to the cdc website and really try to understand all the available information. if you can take the time to understand the science, i hope that you will educate more people, and five more besides that, and at that time the vaccines become available, folks will feel good about rolling up their sleeves. confidence andd we have a question from a chat that i think it's related to that idea. the question is about side effects. what do we know about the side effects that we have seen from the front runner vaccine? do along those lines, how the side effects breakdown verses, you know, just the first dose versus what happens after the second dose, what should people expect? dr. messonnier: the point of a vaccine is to stimulate your body's immune response. that's the whole reason you get vaccinated. it can also mean that there are some side effects from that vaccine. phaseecise data on the three clinical trials in the united states should remain public later this week. thepfizer vaccine at meeting which is scheduled for thursday, and the moderna vaccine is scheduled for

if you go to the cdc website, you can click on covid and click on vaccines and find a couple of pages that really describe the mrna vaccine. we really need people to be proactive about educating themselves. we are getting packets of information, many for health care providers. even with all the questions these days about science. if you ask anyone who they trust most to make health care decision, their own health care provider is at the top of the list. it will be important for us at the cdc to educate health care providers so that patients can ask their health care provider any questions that they have. another thing i would say is that these vaccines can protect the individual. if we really want to stop this pandemic, the way that we do it is by getting lots of people vaccinated. that means that people have to feel confident getting the vaccine. people who are listening to this, people who are tuned in, if we can get educated about the process of the vaccines, we can help educate your family and your community. in many ways, people trust people in their community that they know can

weied through the cdc website that tracking site allows us to order the vaccine so the primary connection will be on the utilization it allows rapid access. the cdc why would the va not be involved if it's such an important public health tool? >> what my epidemiologists have told me is the states are connecting the site to obtain thegi data. i am completely open to re-examining that decision and taking a look at whether we should connect to the 50 states and territories separately in addition to the work that we have committed to. >> i wasn't aware. we can tck that down. i understand is that correct? >> it uldn't be used. i'mi not quite sure how we are serving as well as we could if they are required to giveroof going on the recd and showing it to them and instead they have to call the va and get the records transferred. i'm coletely open to -examining. it's my understanding that it was connected to the cdc websites using the same api. >> it's identified the data tt allows me to hand them to somedy should i need them for employment. >> to get adequate supplies shped to us this is a method

right now the committee is going with a list that's on the cdc website. there is sufficient data with these conditions that show association with severe covid-19 and that includes things like obesity, diabetes, cancer, but the committee says that is by no means an exhaustive list and that will continue to be updated on the cdc website. now, to break down who were the essential workers? in the phase 1 b the next group the front line essential workers include first responders, police and firefighters, teachers, grocery store workers, and then other essential workers will be after that in phase 1 c. now, the committee members in their tone of their voices today in that meeting really showed that this was a difficult decision to have to prioritize some americans over others. that's really because of the limited amount of vaccine that is initially going to be out there. the chairman dr. jose romero discussed that decision. >> this is without doubt the hardest vote that i have taken in my six and a half years on the committee. i am confident that we have arrive

. >> reporter: there are a number of other safety tips on the cdc website. >> being outside, making sure there is plenty of hand sanitizer. >> reporter: all with the hope that the same time next year we will have one more reason to celebrate. >> if you have family traveling into san francisco this week they will be required to quarantined for 10 days. >>> tonight lawmakers have cleared a major hurdle in negotiations over $1 trillion coronavirus stimulus package. the impasse hinged on a proposal form republican senator that he wanted to curb the reserves ability to offer emergency loans but now a compromise with democrats has cleared the way to final negotiations. the big breakthrough for lawmakers trying to provide >>> direct stimulus payments, unemployment benefits and food assistance to millions of americans. >> the american people cannot feed their families or pay their bills without congress good faith discussions, they need us to act. >> crafting a trillion dollar relief package over a matter of days was going to have difficulties but we are running out of time. >> lawmakers are aga

i should add i'm reading from the cdc website, smoke cannabis has many of the same cancer-causing substances as smoked tobacco due to the risks it poses to lung health, experts strongly caution against smoking cannabis and tobacco products. one final anecdote is about my grandmother who passed away in september from lung cancer. she was a smoker for years in the '60s and '70s, which almost certainly contributed to her death. she was ultimately a victim of the lack of public awareness and the lack of public action around smoking in her time. today, on the other hand, we are privileged with the chance to learn from history. we have the chance to take public action and we have the chance to save lives. everyone should have the right to breathe clean air. please accept this ordinance and make san francisco a leader in secondhand smoke policy. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good morning, board of supervisors. my name is kate clifinger. i'm a 12-year district are the and an ambassador for the american cancer society cancer advocacy network. two years ago i was diagnosed with oral cancer at age 33.

families and communities in many ways in addition to the healthcare provider and then go to the cdc website try to understand all the information to understand the science and then five more besideses that. >> but related to that idea of confidence so what do we know side effects from the front runner vaccine? and what happens after the second dose. and the whole reason you get vaccinated it can mean there are side effects go now the precise data in the pfizer vaccinee and those that are scheduled ten days later but what we have seen so far including the data from the earlier studies here is what people should expect some vaccines will have side effects and some people most of those will be mild or moderate lasting a few days the kind we are seeing so far his sore ar arm, muscle aches, fatigue they are even reporting fever for a few days. most of the data f so far that is more after the second dose them the first. >> and the follow-up question with regard to protection if you take one dose and then you take a second dose do we have a good sense with those two stages are like so what is the

we have tied, through api, into the cdc website which allows us to order the vaccine. our primary connection will be the cdc. we will submit data on the utilization -- >> the iis allows epidemiologists to figure out how many people in the community have been immunized, it allows rapid access of university for doesn't.ion -- the cdc why would the v.a. not be involved with the iis? epidemiologists have told me is the states are connecting to the cdc site to obtain data. open topletely re-examining that decision and taking a look at whether we should connect to the 50 states and territories separately, in addition to the work we have committed to with the cdc. >> i was not aware. we will check that down. sharing identifying data? >> correct. >> if you are sharing data, it could not be used to integrate into the iis. how we arete sure serving veterans as well as we could if a veteran goes to graduate school and instead of logging on as they would, pulling down the record in showing it to them, instead, they have to call the v.a. and get the rigmarole of getting records tran

a slide see presentation on the cdc website that outlines at a high level the categories. c is wondering if it needs to be sub prioritized or if there are things missing leg meatpacking plants. >> are there enough doses expected for that whole batch, or are you saying you may have to -- within? >> it will take some amount of time. we have numbers for some of these industries that allow us to guide out how long we rollout to those industries and we are working for more clarity in other spaces. [indiscernible] to show some grace because there has been some movement, but i think we are all focused on accomplishing a common goal so we will try to keep everyone up-to-date on what those look like and what those numbers are. >> can you in the simplest way explain your administration's communication with the trump administration about the supplyons of our vaccine ? i think it is 20%. in layman's terms, can you explain why we are not getting as much as we had hoped and, do you expect us to catch-up up down the road? or, does it delay immunizations 20%? gov. reynolds: i have not per

we have tied through an api into the cdc website that tracking site allows us to order the vaccine. so our primary connection will be to the cdc, and we will submit data on the utilization. >> so if i can, the iis, though, allows epidemiologists to figure out how many people in a community have been immunized, it allows rapid access of a university to see if somebody's been immunized. the cdc, although involved with this, does not -- obviously it's a state that doesn't. why would the va not be involved with the iis, since it's such an important public health tool as well as important for the individual? >> so what my epidemiologists have told me is that the states are connecting to the cdc site to obtain our data. now, i am completely open to re-examining that decision, and taking a look at whether we should connect to the 50 states and territories separately, in addition to our work that we have committed to with the cdc. >> okay, i wasn't aware. we'll track that down. i understand, though, that you're sharing de-identified data, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> so if you're

a slide presentation available on the cdc website that i would be happy to point you to.t outlines at a high level the categories. now we are thinking about whether it needs to be further sub-prioritized or if there are individuals missing in that list that might be iowa specifically -- specific, like meatpacking plants. >> does that cover that whole batch or are you saying that you have to come from within? >> it will take some amount of time. we have some numbers that will let us know how long it will take out -- take to roll out in these particular industries. we are looking to get more clarity. >> as i said, we have to show some grace because there has been some movement but we are all focused on accomplished on the -- a compass and a common goal. aca compass and -- complishing the common goal. >> what about your commute occasion with the trump administration about the reduction of our vaccine supply? can you explain why we are not getting as much as we had hoped? do you expect it to catch up down the road or does it just delay immunizations 20% until we eventually ge

comes to historical data that we have and americans watching this right now can look up on the cdc websitexperiment. i talked with to my grandfather with it. it was a vaccine with black americans and it was selected about 600 black americans they were giving them a placebo pill rather than actually treating it's because they wanted to see syphilis to its natural end. it went on for 40 years, and bill clinton apologized for it in 1997 and said it was the immorality of the government. not at all suggesting it's a vaccine for coronavirus and not suggesting their seeking to experiment on black americans but if you're looking to transform the pain of the individuals and relieve them of the apprehension's, maybe take the opposite approach. rather than single because of their race that they're going to give it to you first, maybe look at it from the equal standpoint and see if were trying to help, we should never be racial medicine. it makes everybody uncomfortab uncomfortable. the governments trying to put a racial identity behind us and making too many people uncomfortable and the ultimate goal

going on to cdc website, to review the material for yourself and always partner with your primary care physician if you have any questions regarding receiving a vaccine, to see if maybe that you are not a good candidate for it. i would have those conversations and um, look at, i think the, we as a people as a whole have to look at the eradicating that vaccine. >> barbara, you are saying you are doing great, you look great, you feel great, and we are happy that you are. i'm sorry, say again? >> i said the virus, i said vaccine again. >> as i said is, i told people, because i do the same thing. vaccine, virus, everyone gets it and they know what you are talking about. i just want to be clear with that, everyone is human, and i say the wrong thin so don't even worry about it. i'm so happy that you are leer, that you are helping people out, and especially you are helping people of color understand that it's important for them to take part in the studies and to get vaccinated and to keep socially distanced and keep wearing masks until it's under control. barbara shields johnson, the directo

we have tied through an api into the cdc website that tracking site allows us to order the vaccine. so our primary connection will be to the cdc, and we will submit data on the utilization. >> so if i can, the iis, though, allows epidemiologists to figure out how many people in a community have been immunized, it allows rapid access of a university to see if somebody's been immunized. the cdc, although involved with this, does not -- obviously it's a state that doesn't. why would the va not be involved with the iis, since it's such an important public health tool as well as important for the individual? >> so what my epidemiologists have told me is that the states are connecting to the cdc site to obtain our data. now, i am completely open to re-examining that decision, and taking a look at whether we should connect to the 50 states and territories separately, in addition to our work that we have committed to with the cdc. >> okay, i wasn't aware. we'll track that down. i understand, though, that you're sharing de-identified data, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> so if you're

i looked at the plan on the cdc website. it's a "d" or "f" paper. it's terrible.he only thing that justifies the plan is to arrive at the conclusion they want to arrive at. racial justice, that i support, would give a different conclusion. you know who is most high risk and most likely to die? people of color. that is who most likely to die. white people, too, but people of color are most likely to die. why wouldn't you prioritize high risk people and people over 65 if you care about racial injustice? we had other agenda, we heard in the other package, you come to the other conclusion. if you want to protect people of color from dying, you will protect high risk and over 65. that is it. >> tucker: yeah. you would treat people like people, as individuals. as children of god. as all equal in the end. they all have equal value. every person. charles, great to see you tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> tucker: so people say joe biden doesn't interact with the press. well, yesterday, he sat for an interview. he brought along dr. jill biden in case there was an medica

in arms, just over 1 million doses of the pfizer doses have been administered according to the cdc's website. there's no data on how many moderna shots were given but it's likely the country will fall short of a goal, 20 million shots by the end of the year. >> if we don't get to 20 million people being vaccinated by the end of this month, i hope people will understand. this is a logistic challenge of enormous proportion. >> reporter: are they as effective as the variant of the virus identified in the uk? >> we would expect it should be effective against that. i want everybody to talk a breath here. one of the things we are worried about is it appears to be more transmissible. >> reporter: and possibly more infectious for children but more study is needed. research suggests the u.s. may already have hundreds of cases. >> we have been saying loud and clear to the entire american people, we need to be limiting our mobility, period. >> reporter: that warning coming as the tsa reports record travel in time for the holidays. the number of people passing through america's airports around 1 million

but it's not an exhaustive list and they did say that will be updated on the cdc website.re seeing more than 500,000 people vaccinated now with the pfizer vaccine. the moderna vaccine is now being shipped out as we speak with the first shots expected to happen on monday. natasha chen, cnn, atlanta, georgia. >>> things aren't getting any better in california. tens of thousands of people are getting infected each day and hospitals are in a massive strain. the covid tracking project counts more than 17,000 coronavirus patients in california hospitals right now. more than 3700 are in intensive care units. the heartbreak is unending. >> reporter: the covid-19 disaster continuing in california, 46,000 new cases, 161 deaths, that's lower, but the hospitalizations are just terrible. about 17,000 hospitalized, and 3 3600 in the intensive care units. they have expended the e.r. area into the icu units. when you talk to the nurses who face this daily, they are astounded by what's happening to these patients. a 39-year-old nurse says it's just getting to them. >> people that have no c

you can see they'll have a live stream, that's the cdc website behind me.eople who live in nursing homes and long-term care facilities and at high risk are expected to receive priority and as well as health care workers, taking care of those people, doctors, nurses, and other first responders. assuming there are no surprises the two vaccines could roll out within weeks for the first tier of people. it is expected the rest of us could receive the vaccine late winter/early spring. an epidemiologist expects the united states to achieve herd immunity by next summer if enough people get the shot, which he estimates would have to be more than 70% of the population in order to stop transmission. >> now this disease isn't going to go away, and we're going to continue to see it crop up from time to time. i think it's too well established in the human population. and we have just too much travel, too much social interaction for it to go away and it's going to take a long, long time to get it internationally around the world back in the box, and we're never going to c

in arms, just over a million doses of pfizer vaccines have been administered, according to the cdc website. there is no data on how many moderna vaccines have been given, but it is likely to achieve a goal, 20 million by the end of the year. >> if we don't quite get to 20 million vaccines by the end of this month, i hope people understand this is a challenge of enormous proportion. >> reporter: the question about the vaccine, are they protective against the variant found in the u.k.? >> they should be effective against the variant. if anything, they appear to be more transmissible. >> reporter: researchers suggest the u.s. may already have hundreds of cases. >> we have been saying loud and clear to the entire american people, we need to be limiting our mobility, period. brooke, all across the country remains vaccinating those front line workers who desperately need those critical doses. that job is continuing here at lenox hospital. they say they'll go through the hospitals until every front line worker who wants a vaccine gets a vaccine. and, brooke, right here in new york city, in light

diabetes, and they agree that the list is not exhaustive, but that will continue to be updated on the cdc website. so, again, it was 13-1. the person who voted in dissent basically thought that the 65 to 74 age group should have bern moved up higher. all in all, they agree on most of the concept of this. the chair of this committee said that this was the most difficult vote he's cast in the 6 1/2 years he's been on this committee. it's a tough decision. i mean, especially because you're talking about a limited supply of vaccine in the beginning, but experts do agree that it's going to ramp up eventually. the nominee for biden's u.s. surgeon general said he believes the realistic timeline is by mid-summer most americans will have access to this vaccine. >> no doubt. this is not an easy decision to make but it's great to see that eligibility list expand day by day. thank you so much. >>> well, earlier today, trucks carrying millions of doses of the newly approved moderna vaccine began rolling out across the country. the head of operation warp speed telling cnn that the first shots will most likely

can do to try to prevent from increasing this transmission- vp pence: that's available at the cdc's website? >> it's being released today, just this afternoon. so please take a look at it, but i appreciate the opportunity to speak. vp pence: can i just ask one question, and maybe dr. redfield might take this or dr. [inaudible]. let's assume, and we remain very optimistic. if dr. redfield is optimistic, our team is, that we may have approval in a week and a half of a vaccine. if we are successful in vaccinating 20 million americans, particularly some of the most vulnerable in long-term care facilities, our healthcare workers, what impact is that on the course of the pandemic? and when would you expect to see an impact on the pandemic as we roll the vaccine out? dr. wilke: and i'll start, and then i'll please [crosstalk] vp pence: and i mean, in terms of its overall impact on the country. >> just in terms of the long-term care residents, about 40% of all deaths are linked to long-term care residents. so by vaccinating those, we are going to see a decrease in deaths in the future. and as vacci

and possibly the cdc website does too. and let me just continue on.o recommends that if a person has any severe allergic reaction to any other vaccine to not -- to ask their doctor whether they should get it. any severe allergic reaction to any non-vaccine -- non-medication like food or latex it's okay to get it. any allergic reaction to oral medications it's okay to get it. but if you have a severe allergic reaction to the first shot, they do not recommend getting the second. but you know, honestly, joshua, i know that some of this can be really confusing, so i recommend for your viewers look at the cdc guidelines and then talk to your doctor. if there's any confusion, just talk to your doctor if you have any concerns or issues. joshua. >> dr. lipi roy, msnbc medical contributor and internal physician, we appreciate you talking to that and to the point you just made because there are so many questions about this we're bringing dr. roy back tomorrow to answer some of your questions about the coronavirus, about this new strain, and the vaccine. so send

about since march, and public health officials have as well, and there's a great report on the cdc website about the history of the pandemic. this is what we worry about when we think about football games, parades and large-scale activities. we worry a lot about this kind of moment. philadelphia could not keep up. in modern parlance, the curve cannot be flattened. this city was utterly devastated because of that. the across the country, public health officials continued along those lines. that is one thing that we learned. here's more from philly. the surgeon general said there is no cause for alarm. a precautions are observed. the president of the west philadelphia medical association began in anti-scare campaign, saying the public should be educated to the fact that the disease is not as deadly as advertised. then there's the image of the young girl with -- who is mortally ill sister in that case. the editors of the philly enquirer wrote that strict closure orders went too far. this is reminiscent of our current moment. shutting down schools, etc. here you see the anti-spinning campaign

i'm hitting refresh on the cdc website to see what the new numbers are. but there will be many questions about how quickly can we get these doses out. 20 million are expected to be allocated, you know, by the end of december, and that will go nif into first week of january, that will almost cover the entire top priority group, and then we start to go into the next priority groups, guys. so this happening quickly and in january, we're expecting j&j data as well guys >> yeah, we were crossing our fingers on the j&j part. that's for sure, meg as for that last mile, we're starting to get word now from the cvss and wall green walgrey need more pharmacy techs and workers to administer the vaccines to the population do you get a sense there will be a labor crunch on last mile? >> yeah, this is something we have been hearing about as people have been preparing for this massive vaccination campaign, how do we find enough people to administer the shots we have been hear and our colleagues have been reporting about needing to find the folks to be able to do this, no

you think about what historians having hollering about since march, there's a great report on the cdc website about the history of the pandemic, this is what we worry about when we think about football games, parades, large-scale activities, we worry a lot about this kind of moment. because philadelphia could not keep up. in the modern par lens, the curve could not be flattened and the city was utterly devastated because of that. so across the country, public health officials continue alonged those lines, however, and that's one thing we learn. here's more from philly and about the ambiguity of that moment. the surgeon general said there's no cause for alarm if precautions are observed. as i have up here, president of the west philadelphia medical association began an antiscare campaign arguing that the public should be educated to the fact that the disease is not as deadly as many believe. think back to the image of the young girl with the mortally ill sister, in that case, actually. the editors of the philly enquirer said the orders went too far. they made a case, as i say here, shutting do

. >> the cdc website don't remember this.e the patient's breath per minute. what is your response to that? >> the best hospitals in the country are doing this -- >> are doing what? >> are doing pulse oximtry monitoring of covid patients. these oximeters you buy at pharmacy are reliable. you should be following them, trending them and be in touch with your doctor. i'm telling you the best hospitals in the country are doing this. the state of vermont is one of only 50 states doing this. new york city in the last two weeks have distributed hundreds of thousands of these to monitor every patient in new york city. britain they've distributed 200,000. we are seeing a growing movement of government agencies and i hope this happens across states of monitoring these because early detection of illness leads to better treatment and better out comes as we saw with president trump and boris johnson. >> that does make sense the earlier it is treated. but because the cdc doesn't recommend it, people should check with their doctors. you say

visit the cdc's website to find out more about the vaccines we're developing and the process they havee through. if you have questions now, questions further down the road, talk to your health care provider about the importance of safe and eeffective vaccines have to our own health and the health of our communities. these vaccines will be tested with the same rigor that americans expect from any drug or vaccine reviewed by the fda. as each one of us here have said, we're excited to take the vaccine. we will encourage our family and friends to do so too as appropriate. i apologize i won't be able to stay throughout today's q&a because of another media engagement but i will be back next week for the full hour but before i would close i would just like to make a plea to individuals who have had covid-19 and recovered. if you're within three months since recovery from covid-19, we need to you donate plasma. over a quarter million courses of convalescent plasma have been used on your fellow americans to help prevent severe consequences from covid-19. unfortunately so many individuals gotten

if somebody must come, look on the cdc website.w to make sure that people are tested and quarantined appropriately. but if you do travel, you must stay off of the airplanes or trains as much as possible. if you can go by car, do that, if you absolutely must go. but no matter what, we have to really make sure we're not stepping back from the guidelines of safe distancing, wearing a mask, and all of the other guidelines we've, hearing about so much. this is going to be a deadly january. because what i just said is not likely to be followed by many people. and the thing is that we're going to have people dying. so as much as it's painful not to get together with relatives, it's a heck of a lot more painful to lose them to this lethal disease. now, one final thing, if i may, alicia. so what the redlener family did on thanksgiving, we had a big party, 42 people were there. but it was by zoom. it was great, it was an hour. we got together. we reconnected. there was a lot of laughing, but we stayed separate and we did it virtually. people

you need to go to the cdc website and look at what's there.his is not a dangerous virus to most people. and i will leave you with this, we have 327 million people in this country. it's been about a year now. we don't have 10% of the population affected with this. with did you come down covid this year? caller: i didn't. you know what? i have been out there and i'm an essential worker. some people do get hit pretty hard with this. but the majority of the population have. remember mardi gras was going to be the end of the world? break? the trump rallies? we are still here, folks. we are still functioning. don't let them mess with your dna. host: john, maryland. good morning. tell us your thoughts. caller: yeah, i'm getting vaccinated. from what my research tells me, they have got some pretty new technology from when they developed the polio vaccine. i mean, they didn't have re-combatant dna techniques then . i think the technology has come a long way. i'm going to take it. host: are you in one of those groups that potentially would be first in l

seasonal flu -- and i have printed this out from the cdc website, a bad year is about .18%. so, just a little under that. again, i'm not downplaying covid. as senator paul talked about, people he knows, it's a deadly disease, and particularly for over 70, 5% of the people with covid die from it, or with it. so i'm not downplaying this, but i think you have to look at those numbers and ask, what have we done and what is the human toll of our actions on a disease that long-term it looks like it's certainly worse than the flu, but is it that much worse to cause that much economic devastation with that severe a human toll? 130 million people starving, and of course we have heard all the other follow-ones. dr. bhattacharya, if you have any closing thoughts. >> thank you for the opportunity to testify and thank you for that lead-up. i think it is worse than the flu, but it has different properties of the flu. older people have a much higher rate of death from this than younger people. the flu also has that pattern, but not quite as pronounced. but the most striking difference in h

that is on the cdc's website, i checked that.wo, i personally don't trust the big pharma companies. to put something in my body. they don't make a profit off me being healthy, they make a profit off me being sick. they want me sick later in life. they want me sick now. they love the pandemic because it makes them money. the other guy, some people are a little extreme about it and some people are not. the just have to think logically, what is in the people's interest that are telling you? our leaders are known liars. they lie all the time. all of a sudden they are telling us the truth about the virus? about the effects? i mean, it is just ridiculous to even believe them. host: ok. let's go to debbie in massachusetts. caller: hi, this is debbie. i wouldn't take it, because i have a lot of allergies. i think it is due to my allergies that i wouldn't be taking it. i did take the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. i was rushed to the hospital and put on an eight-day medically induced coma. so i did get it even though i had the vaccine. i

it,renter has to know about go to the cdc website, print out complicated forms assess under penalty ofry, i swear, blah, blah, blah. one of the things you have to swear to is that you have applied for every single available type of housing assistance. it is a crime if you lie on this form, some people freak out. more often people do not know about it. people getting evicted, 80% of the time they do not even show up in the court. it is a big mess. i work with a local reporter, jen rice, at a station in houston, she watched 100 different eviction receding scum eviction -- proceedings, and 99 of them, the eviction went on anyway, despite the cdc order. so people are not as protected as they think they are. but big on the roads are being discouraged from filing evictions. some people are taking advantage of it. so if that goes away, that is scary. nhe other things is i massachusetts, they did away with their eviction moratorium. part of the thing was there is now this federal thing, which is much weaker. it is a big mess. host: we're talking about it in this 45 minutes of the "washington j
