i thk inrestaurants can be proactive, for example, by changing pricing to time. j.r.ging at different prices at different times. that can influence the flow. restaurants can think about how to incentivize customers coming at different times. >> i know before the pandemic, it was the olympics. >> exactly. people drive on different times. you can apply, you can affect behavior so i think it is a big issue. >> and the ai system we saw, they're alrey eicladient they h taipei and they introduced their system in mainland china. instead of using it restaurants, they are using it one of shanghai's largest buildings to avoid overly crowded systems. >> that's interesting. most important. >> with travel restrictions still in place, many are looking a safe place to enjoy local leisure. >> this restaurant is located at tokyo bay. in the middle of the pandemic, this location is mostly booked from july through august. beyond offering the ocean breeze, a reason to switch to regular table and chairs, offer customers even more peace of mind. compare to the previous lay out, not only th

and parts surrounding the capital city, there has been an increase lockdown was lifted.es since the thkre is an acceptance that action was needed pretty quickly. katty: what does this mean for your christmas? reporter: i will not be going back to scotland. but there is a debate or if three households could mix. we have some of the main medical journals in the u.k. saying that decision is wrong and cost lives. we have the labour party saying it should be rethought and it ould be a lot stricter over christs. i don't think the rules are going to change. they have been different parts of the u.k. trying to figure out what they will do given the riing number of cases. i don't think they will change the rules. i think there will be stricter advice urging people not to travel. katty: do you think that there is a risk that because there is a rule that says you can meet up th other households, people will do it even though they know hing toot a sensible do?the rules could be giving pee almost a false sense of security. reporter: it's interesting because i have ard anecdotally th arguments. one t

thk the mandate to wear of the pain and suffering that societhas had to endure for over a year, it seems, whether or not the leaders are aring masks or not, i think the existence of the contagion that i call mental illness, not just a viral contagion, but the contagion of mental illness will prevail and it will prevail uil such time we have herd immunity. laura: a top canadian official said today he was stealg christmas to keep people safe. what effect does that talk of effectively canceling the lidays have on people's mental health? gues it is huge, no question about that. these arvery difficult decisions for public health officials, whi are the ones giving advice to the government authorities. i'm a big proponent of mental wellness i believe th mental wellness has to be taken into consideration when g start mandatl of these new rules and regutions about where we can be, where we can go, with whom can we celebrate. this is going to have a significant impact on society. we have seen itlready. we he seen levels of anxiety and depression at levels we havb never seore. we are seeing suicida

thks. i think you've covered it all. residents who gathered with family and friends during thanksgiving quarantine for at least ten days. during the breathing he also spoke about a potential vaccine and the need for federal assistance. >> good afternoon, everyone. welcome to the covid-19 update for tuesday, december 1st. to start i want to affirm we are monitoring the situation at the 11 illinois a long term care facility earned by infinity healthcare to ensure services for the most vulnerable residents continues uninterrupted. there are hundreds of nursing home workers on strike asking for the same type of reasonable conditions that a large number of long-term care facilities around illinois have already agreed to in their own contracts. given the significant federal, state and financial support for nursing homes during this pandemic it's important that the workers see the funding reflected in the workplace and in good faith so they can get back to work and to the work that matters the most which is getting the residenc

and i thk that's also been-- not a surprise to me, but it's been surprising for a lot of people that we can trust people who are struggling economically with money, just like we trust billionaires with money, that folks with money aren't poor most of the time because they don'know how to manage money. they're struggling economically because they don't have money to manage, because of structural issues. or a high school diploma or a college degree in this case doesn't go as far as it used to, where waveges ot kept up with inflation, where all the growth of this country continue to go to those who already have and hollowing out the middle class or even those on the bottom with nothing to stand on. >> hill: the mayors for guaranteed income. it's an idea thatro catching on the country. i believe some two dozen mayors are considering implementing this. i know the mayor of newark, the largsest city in new jersey, baraka, s been talking about this at least a ye t or so. why s catching on? why is this garnering the kind of support that you would think that it would? >> it's catching on becau

thk you for having me. >> these conversations are so important. a variety of topics but let's talk about the news today you ard about these two people the uk receid the pfizer vaccine yesterday and they had allergic reactions pretty clearly. how concerningng is this? >> obviously it is a concern because there are i people that have a tendency to have allergic reactions i believe both of thos indivuals did have that tendency so looking forward, this is what happens when youmplement a large vaccine program remember weth had 30000 people and thousand and the pfizer trial once you start implementing the actual utilization of the vaccine , you talk about millions of individuals getting vaccinated. you may start to see the effects and some en it wasn't picked up dealing with thousands so it is the like the effect but now everyone is aware and we will be looking at that taking care of people who do have underlying phenomenon they could be cautious of vaccination or be prepared to respond with an anecdote. >> so if i was a person with an underlying allerc

thk you for very warm introduction i want to personally thank you for staying our entire team here is the ventricular with the requirements thank y for getting that right andhose of you watching virtually i apprecte you joining me for what would be a good conversation today and we have the chanceo have a lovely conversation we have a couple special guest and senator chambliss when i was nominated to be cia director spending so much time with the intelligence commuty he was so gracious to help me figure out what was up and down and i deeply appreciate that. i graduad from the one - - the united states military academy studying engineering i just on drive ross the bridge it's been an awfully lo time. so some of my clasates and up in the army corps of engines i command the calvary ut that i can tell you that math matters when you're looking at the canon so with the state department talk about people leaving the institutio going on to diplomacy one of theirst things that came across my desk is important to m across the bridge in iraq and it wasn trouble we figured out if we could save it

thk you for remembering him. >> he wasery importa to the development of the lislation starting in 1962. >> mr. stier, you are recognized for five minutes of testimony and of course, your full statement will be entered into the record. welcome. >> thank you, chairman connolly and rankings members for being here and it's a pleasure to be here with martha kumar and the phenenal colleagues in this area. we've heard a lot already about how important presidential transition is. it is ultimately not just about the peaceful trafer of power, but the effective transfer of power. come january 20th, we'll have a president and a team that will be respoible for an extraordinary set of real allenges, the pandemic, the needs around the economy and the list goes on andn and those are the kwns and the will be unknowns as well. the transitionrocess is a monumental task and there no private sector analog. you think about the contours of our government, $5 trillion. and people, half of the mitary reservists, and hundreds in uniform and the 4,000 political appointees that need to be brought in. it's a massi

to around 100% of gdp now, looking at this chart, you would thk that u.s. is in a worse fiscalal position today thant was 16 years ago. but now, just for illustrative purposes. there are a lot of problem with these numbers, i have a lot of disaeements this not the featured number iould use, take debt at of point in time, dividehe by social security trustee's estimate of present value gdp at that point in time, that ges y -- infinite horizon, it is roughly flat, some ways a br a little bit betr than it used toe, wi- with interest rates lower, value of gdp has gonep by as much if not more thanha the debt has ge up and when you compare debt to it, it has remained roughly constant. to repay debt over time, you don't need to pay it off all at once. it is easy to payhe debt off, if you sead it out over time. this is not my preferred metric, because the infinite horizon is speculative, i would prefer, to look at a float metric, the debt goes up a lot, but now let's add in real debt service, as a share of the economy and real interest payments are falling as a shar

i thk it's probably the i closest ing -- it's theo closest thing we have to measles that we have ever seen. it's interesting the mitigation we are doing in this country right now the influenza rate is at historical lows now. we are still just about to get intoo influenza season s i do really encourage everyone to get the influenza vaccine. but the reality is the spring season, flu,ummer season and even ely fall season are at historical lows, so these mitigation steps are helping even in the fact that we are probably only doing them 50, 60, 70% of the american public. bu it isn't enough to contain covid wch is really, really infectious. .. s >> hurley vaccine tissue pollution will go as it should for the vulnerable population and in terms of essential workers, how should we think about defining in that context quick. >> that's a very good question. technically the department of homeland security makes those classifications as you know.owt each community and i can tell you are someone that supports. one of my sons is in recovery i tried to help my daughter obviously my own family , ther

says the white house has signed off on an even smaller proposal he's been circulating offer this maver thk but we don't know if that's the only thing the president would support and if he would be willing to go for this bipartisan framework as well >> ylan mui out in the beautiful parts of west virginia i know so well >> thoughts of home. the dow hovers around 30,000 joining me to discuss is neil hennessey. it's good to have you. i read through your 20-21 play book and to me it's all about pent-up demand, is that right? >> i think so, kelly we try to look at history and history tends to repeat itself when i start to look back over the years and what corporations have weathered, be it more restrictions, more regulations, whatever, they seem to come out okay now we're just dealing with this virus situation and companies are still doing well but the bottom line is the economy is fundamentally in good shape and there's plenty of cash on the sideline. it's just when does the economy open up 100% and that's the question. but where interest rates are now, what you're getting on yield versus what

thk you very muc. >> thankou very much mr. chairman. for your friendship and for the things you have done. also i have to think the chairperson for allowing me to have this opportunity. thank you for your friendship not only here but with homeland security. ms. pelosi and the speaker was always mr. we're so i think them as well. i have been on this eight year missionf mercy along with emily to secure the return and as is known by the people here to pass the house recently and bimeral support. it received attention in the press has this been called to the attention to have them return home is a call to the attention of the president? >> i don't know that personally but knowing the attention the president has given to the issue as well as unjustly detained are missing americans, i cannot imagine it was not brought to the white house attention. so i am a confident. >> so with another question 2254, is that a negotiated return? >> not at all. >> and that resolution has passed into that negotiated return of these two persons i just happen to

we're not talking a lotbout testing over the years and i thk you have said we hadhis conversation a few times that there has not still been adequate testing in terms of erall numbers in this country. i want to frame the question differeny. dr. fauci, for people who don't haveymptoms and justant to get tested to find out if they are, in fact, positive, what exactly should they be looking for? if you have symptoms you should stay home. if you find virus on o of these tests it could be active virus and may not be an active virus butf you are just trying to find out whether or not you are contagious which seems to be the question they' trying to answer, and no symptoms and i want to get teste to make sure that i'm not contagis to other people and i don't ce if the tests come back positive but i want to know if i'm contagious. can we answer that question for the average person was seems to be a fundamental question at this point? >> in order to answer that question completely accurately i think that our viewers need to understand that there are tests for different purpose you mentioned one o

thk you for your work as we look into the future and we want to help ensure we have a robustpportunity to serve our veterans with frank conversation under your leadership to continue caring for our veterans. although claimed it was that in the best interest of veterans it failed to give them a say in the decision-making process and place veterans and their providers at the center of the process. another justification was that providers and care networks are not accepting patients during the octoberin hearing and those that were willing to treat veterans. how they can best leverage continuityme of care and have access to care. while this pandemic is unplanned congress still expects him to implement the mission act. so several vaccines for emergency use authorization and the distribution of covid vaccine in the coming weeks. and i look forward to the strategy to reach veterans nationwide. and to decrease the homeless condition. doctor lawrence gives an opportunity to discuss conducting the backlog the internal examsnd also to learn those that are exposed to military service are more susc

risch, clearly i don't s thk sound science is deciding to nudge something because you want to affect people's behavior. what do you make of this now open admission, confession, that he has been attempting to simply manipulate people's behavior with guessing. >> dr. fauci has confused two different things that is representing by one statement. he is saying percent but there are two different percents, the of the population is immune and there is a percent of the population that needs to be vaccinated. >> tammy: right. >> those are two differently differentfe things. we need more than herd immunity to shut up the pandemic. the herd immunity could limit it but not the maximum. that is immunity but not vaccination. we know the upper midwest for example we have 75% of community in north dakotaav and close to that south dakota and many in the west states are doing very well. they are well past herd immunitt and closing the pandemics over the next month or two. >> tammy: you know, that is great point, doctor, even in his comments and what he's almost bragging about misses the point entirely

and i thk there's a way in which the hope that we can find here has to do with, youbinow, that senty that that there is such a thing as a public good and there's the good of humankind d there's the good of our environment and the good of the planet as whole, that maybe there's a way in which that one of the ways to rise to the challenge of this moment, of course, is to think about the massive failures of our federal government and the lack of ership that everyone else has pointed to, but also to think about this as an portunity for a kind of spiritual renewal as a human family. >> woodruff: and dr. blackstock, i mean, picking thinking about asymmetry and the human spirit into all this, in the midst of the pandemic, we have the killing of george floyd of other black americans. brianna taylor, how has that changed the way we've not only looked at this pandemic, but is this a is this another is this another civil rights movement in this country? how do you see it? >> you know, it's interesting, i think that it took a black man being murdered on video by a poce officer to wake up a sizab

viechristian, walker, do you thk people understand what's at stake in terms of the differences in policyphael warnock is one of the most radical senators to ever run for this position. so i think it's really important that americans understand it's our freedom that's on the line. it's our basic rights. the things that we take for granted. i mean, we've seen with the covid lockdowns the lengths that the democrats are willing to go to st stifle our freedom. it's super important that georgians go out and vote for of loeffler and perdue. i'm supporting them and i think they are doing a great job in their campaign. i'm excited to see what happens. maria: and christian, you've also been talking a lot about the presidential election, i saw your post on instagram which i thought was great. you were basically underlining section 1, article 2 in the constitution. tell us about it. >> well, it's imperative that americans understand that our electoral colleges -- college votes aren't certified until january 6th. a lot of democrats right now are acting rather arrogant that the election is over. it's

appreciate what you did for the election, but i am also very concerned that the government is not up t up to thk generally. and that is another topic for another hearing, perhaps, one where you will be back to testify, but look what happened recently, we found out that a very sophisticated group of hackers got into the computers of some of the most sophisticated agencies, so we obviously have a lot of work to do, and i am not suggesting that cisa was at fault there, but on the other hand, i think we have not yet given even cisa the adequate resources and authority to handle all of these issues. not just election issues, but we have a huge problem right now is cyber attacks and we don't know all the details yet. and i want to ask you again about the stuff you don't know about, but it was a massive cyber attacks that undercut our national security. we know that. senator paul talked about the fact that there has been some lack of understanding between what you testified to you and what you stated as to the election being secure from cyber attacks and this notion that there were not considered as of
