we need all americans to take the steps we know work to stop covid-19. please, wear a mask, socially distance, and if needed, social distance and get tested as needed and also go get vaccinated. as of monday, all adult americans will be eligible. with that i'll turn it over to dr. walensky. dr. walensky: thank you. i'll give an overview of the data. yesterday, c.d.c. reported 73,622 cases of covid-19. our seven-day average is up to 69,500. nearly 70,000 new cases per day. i know case numbers may seem similar from day-to-day but just four weeks ago our seven-day average is only about 53,000 cases per day. in concert with the increase in cases, the seven-day average of emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and hospitalizations are all approximately 5% to 8% higher than they were in the prior seven-day period. and sadly, average daily deaths have increased for the third day in a row to over 700 per day. we must continue to get many more people vaccinated. the increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths are very concerning and they threaten th

covid has come down hard on vulnerable and marginalized people. we can't allow our covid response to end up making racial and gender inequality worse. we will embrace partnership, sharing the burden and combining strength. the collaboration we formed a few weeks ago with india, japan and australia is a good example. together, we are increasing the roles manufacturing capacity so we can get more shots out the door and into people's arms as fast as possible. one of the reasons we work through multilateral collaborations were possible is because they share and defend the same values. for example, the covax initiative is designed exclusively to ensure low and middle income companies -- middle income countries can get vaccines because it's only through -- [inaudible] finally we will address the current emergency by taking the long view. we can't just end this pandemic. we must leave our country and the world better prepared for the next one. we will work with partners to reform and strengthening -- strengthen institutions to safeguard institutions and

hello welcome to the virtual event with the covid-19 vaccine. i direct to the georgetown institute for women's peace and security we are pleased to be hosting this program today and as we all now covid has exposed deep inequities on people around the globe and it continues to take a terrible toll. no one will be safe from the effects of the pandemic until everyone is safe until everyone is vaccinated. the vaccine one day made available to everyone no matter where he or she lives rich or poor, it is urgently needed we are still far from the global commitment required to meet the need. the world today does not yet have what it takes to end the pandemic to get everyone vaccinated. we have an exceptional group of experts and leaders with us today to discuss this topic ages been at the forefront of the efforts to ensure equitable vaccine distribution. they will share their views with us on what needs to be done urgently and what needs to be done. as the first speaker has written until the whole world is vaccinated, the whole world will be at risk. th

this is about more than vaccines, then covid. -- more than vaccines, more than covid. it is about improving trust as a whole. the source of health, well-being, our social determinants, and those lie in the hands of the communities we deal with. just as with vaccine hesitancy, we need to talk more on understanding the nature of concerns and the sources of trust in those communities. -- be it food security or transportation or housing security or criminal justice reform or environmental improvement or equity itself, we are going to need to do that in exactly the same way, in localities, places, communities, with a sense of real respect as we enter the dialogues. i thank you for the chance to share these thoughts. i am so delighted about the effort now underway. i will tell you, it is exactly where that effort needs to be. thank you. >> thank you, don, for those remarks and particularly your focus on the role of empathy. now, we are very lucky to hear from the cdc, which is playing a leading role across the nation when it comes to building vaccine confidence. please welco

covid has also brought regional inequalities into sharper focus.he north of england they have had especially high infection rates and have been under severe local lockdowns far longer than anywhere else. not all parts of the country will be able to bounce back from this pandemic in the same way. so areas in the north of england, for example, will be starting this pandemic from a point of low resilience, lower levels of public health and fewer opportunities for people. in mansfield in nottinghamshire, margaret's work as a supply teacher dried up. everybody is trying to compete for the few jobs that are out there. she will have to work at least another five years to get her state pension, but has struggled to find another job. so the roles have reversed. daughter cordelia is the main breadwinner with her salary of around £16,000. it's a huge responsibility. because most of my money is going on running - the house and supporting my mum as well. - so, there often isn't much left for me. i i feel bad that i'm having to put her in this situation, because

have covid. but testing kids need to test asymptomatic carriers of the virus were not provided until six months into the pandemic. even the best nursing homes with the most rigorous infection control practices could not stop this highly contagious virus. the long-term community was left behind, forgotten and even blamed. this further demoralized the staff risking their lives and trying their best with inadequate support. it's critical we determine what we can do to keep this from ever happening again. prior to covid-19 only made worse by the pandemic the long-term care struggled to attract and retain a highly dedicated work force particularly registered nurses most in need during an infectious break. as many academic experts have highlighted it makes it a challenge for providers to compete with hospitals for nurses and make infrastructure changes. what we've learned from this strategy is that it will take considerable investment to make meaningful changes. we stand ready to work with policy maker

third, covid variants. right now the u.s. does not have a huge problem with mutated variants of the virus. there is some present. it's not a huge border. i met with family after family coming from brazil -- brazil has a nasty variant. again, with no screening, we simply have no idea how much of the positive patients are bringing covid yar yants -- variants into our country. what members on the select committee on the opposite side of the aisle got to say about that? crickets. there are a few more points i want to make about public health in regards to this horrendous crisis caused by the biden administration's failure. first, illicit drugs. tens of thousands -- kill tens of thousands of americans every year. fentanyl crosses our southern border. what we're able to catch comes through checkpoints, for the most part. the volume bypassing those checkpoints during this crisis has skyrocketed. what they seized since the president's executive orders opened our border has been 800% increase. while we are there -- while we were there

it's about more than covid-19. it's about an overall approach to improving health and wellbeing in our communities as a whole. the sources of health, wellbeing, lie at the social terminus of health and illness. and those lie in the hands of the communities we deal with. we have to talk more about the nature of concerns and the sources of trust in those communities, so we can work on other determinants of health, be it food security, transportation, housing security, criminal justice reform, environmental improvement, or equity itself. we're going to need to do that exactly the same way, in localities, in places, with communities, with shared voices and a sense of real respect as we enter the dialogues that can lead us toward health. i thank you for the chance to share these thoughts with you. i am so delighted about the effort now under way. and i'll tell you, it's exactly where that effort needs to be. thank you. >> thank you, don, for those remarks and particularly your focus on the role of empathy. now we're ver

importantly, seniors accounted for 80% of covid deaths. now we have seen an 80% reduction in death and a 70% reduction in death among seniors, proving how effective vaccination is. this significant progress in a short time is a direct result of our deliberate whole of government wartime effort. where do we go from here? the next phase of our vaccination program has four key areas of focus. first, we will continue to vaccinate millions of americans each day. as you can see in our report, our current seven-day average is 2.9 million shots, nearly 3 million shots per day. going forward, we expect daily vaccination rates will moderate and fluctuate. we have gotten vaccinations to the most at risk and those most eager to get vaccinated. we will continue those efforts. but we know reaching other populations will take time and focus. second, we will continue to increase accessibility and make it easier and easier for americans to get a shot. i noted a moment ago that 90% of americans have a vaccine site within five miles of where they live. we ar

you have heard a lot from us about the state of the covid pandemic. we have talked about it in terms of hospitalization, but i want to start by showing a little more about what we learned about the toll of the covid-19 pandemic. for many americans, this end, because not only impacted our physical health and well-being, but also the mental health and well-being of our children. this week we learned an estimated 40,000 children in america lost a parent to covid-19 according to new models by researchers. we found one yet eight people with covid-19 were diagnosed with a new psychiatric or neurological condition and anxiety and depression were among the most common conditions. millions of people are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression right now, and research from the cdc shows that younger adults, racial and ethnic minorities, essential workers, and unpaid adult caregivers have experienced disproportionately worse outcomes -- outcomes during the pandemic. these numbers are sobering, but they are not altogether surprising. many of you know intui

covid-19, the covid-19 pandemic threatened to unravel the commercial aviation industry and leave a significant portion of the aviation work force unemployed. as slowest point passenger traffic felt by 96% with such weak demand hundreds of thousands of 9 aviation workers could have been furloughed and service could o have been eliminated to small communities. also due to castes and training requirements for aviation workers, it is difficult to rehire and retrain workers after being furloughed. however, aviation stakeholders including carriers, labor and airportsth came together to advance the bipartisan payroll support program aviation loan assistance program this funding ensure that essential travel would continue but jobs could be saved and the industry could be ready to support the recovery as vaccination numbers increase i was glad to play a role in passing the original pfp and extension which saved livelihoods for so many aviation families. the pse also provided important protection, preventing recipients from laying autowork ergs buying back stocks or cutting off service to small communit

based on the current evidence, the benefits of the covid—19 vaccine astrazeneca against covid—19 andated risks, hospitalisation and death, continues to outweigh the risks for the vast majority of people. our review has reinforced that the risk of this rare suspected side effect remains extremely small. by 31 march, over 20 million doses having been given, we have had 79 case reports, up to including that date, 31 march. all 79 cases occurred after the first dose. of these 79 cases, 19 people have sadly died. these cases occurred in 51 women and 28 men, aged from 18 to 79 years. and from these reports, the risk of this type of rare blood clot is about four people in a million who receive the vaccine. three out of the 19 were under 30 years. 1a of the 19 were of the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with low platelets, and five or other kinds of thrombosis in major veins. the balance of benefits and risks is very favourable for older people, but it is more finely balanced for the younger people. and we at the mhra are advising that this evolving evidence should be taken into account whe

we should not just do it for covid. we should take advantage of this and build it out so we have this not only for other vaccines, not only for c children and adults but for other things. this is where it's going to matter. at the heart of this is where people can get trusted t information's going to improve their health. that's were trying to do here were doing in very narrow way around the covid vaccine. bless not lose this opportunity to think about this chance to build up this part of the system which we all recognize as critical. local matters most its host trusted voices that matter most and people are going to turn to those trusted voices. but lisa describes in the grapevine is right pretty think of it more technical term the information supply chain. and everybody inan that chain needs to know what is happening. an agent of the answers a need to know how the system works. in some ways the issues are the same globally as they are within the united states. the big differences supply. we will not dwell on that now
