brigham: no, we don't know yet. long-hauler or the post-covid syndrome, there are multiple names for it, have not been entirely defined. we see such a wide variation. we do not know what the risk factors are. if you have an outcome that is difficult to define, how do you then go back and find the individuals at highest risk? so we don't know. we do have patients who have no pre-existing conditions, perfectly healthy prior to getting covid-19, and then are left with these aftereffects. we are working night and day at johns hopkins and institutions across the nation, this is more than a single institution problem, it is more than a single institution solution. we are all working very hard to try to figure out why these things are happening and what we can do to help. kristen: now that we are a year out, are you seeing some of these so-called long-haulers, are there symptoms receding at all -- are their symptoms receding at all? dr. brigham: all different experiences. i have some individuals that i have cared for start

the problem the brigham as you know tends to be when we won't stop. and yet we see something very dangerous here in the united states right now which is not clinical nihilism, containment nihilism. like we hear people saying we're not going to do contact tracing at the white house. we're not wanting to control this epidemic. the governor of massachusetts said to us i am so tired of people saying that we can't prevent cases and we can't do contact tracing, he said it in more colorful terms by the way. and you know, we started working with him in april, early april in fact on doing just that and that was because a governor, a ceo and executive of the state and that's nonsense, that control over care. not in full over care, that we can't do the disease control so i think in the united states we don't offer very much from clinical nihilism. we seen it and i think that's why a lot of african-americans are suspicious about they remember things like the tuskegee experiment in which african-american men in the south were denied access to curative therapy for

hi, i'm eric ruben, i'm at the harvard th school of public health, brigham women's hospital. >> thank you. doctor. >> doctor. >> i'm here. i'm here. good morning. i'm president of a medical college and professor of internal medicine and virologist and study the responses that clear the viruses from our system. thank you. >> thank you. dr. portnoy. >> good morning. i'm dr. jay portnoy. i'm professor of pediatrics at university of missouri kansas city school after allergy immunologist in kansas city, missouri and today serving as a consumer representative. >> thank you. doctor. >> good morning, my name is jeanette lee, i'm professor at university of medical sciences arkansas. thank you. >> you have to unmute yourself, dr. sawyer: we can't hear you. >> try again, sorry. mark sawyer, professor of pediatric infectious disease at university of california san diego and the children's hospital in san diego. >> thank you, doctor sawyer. dr. watson. >> good morning, i'm melinda bordon-- i'm an adult infectious disease physician by training. >> thank you. doctor. >> good morning. my name is levy

jeremy faust, he's an emergency physician at brigham women's hospital. that statement from the people who operated on tiger woods, right lower leg. what does it all mean? >> good morning. what that all means is that in the moment that it was determined that mr. woods needed to go to the operating room, the surgeons likely believed that if they did not perform one of those procedures to release that pressure, they actually were worried that he could lose the limb. that amputation might have been necessary. so in my view, the procedure that they did was so that they avoided that. they believed that if they did not do that procedure, mr. woods might have had to have had an ampu amputation. so my hat is off to them, because our whole assessment, the whole reason we do the kind of assessment that we do in the emergency department when a patient like this comes in, is to make sure the patients do not have what is called compartment syndrome, which means that the pressure has built up so much that blood -- that actually blood circulation is being compromised. i

he is a surgeon at brigham and women's hospital in boston. dr. gawande iso a stf mazine.est issue, he visited one north dakota town when it was suffering a terrible outbreak, and also a very public fight over the public health protections meant to contain it. he joins me now. dr. gawande, great to have you back on the "newshour". your company in a sense was created to step into the breach, initially over testing, now over vaccinations. when we look around nationally, some states have done well, many have really struggled with this. do you have a good sense as to why this initial stage has faltered so much? >> first of all, everybody was late to planning. this showived part of the planning process months ago. states were coming forward asking for that planning process but it really didn't get underway until after thanksgiving. we got involved to enable mass vaccination at gillette stadium, fenway park, reggie lewis track and field here in boston, and the challenges really were that the planning only got underway maybe the week before christmas for enabling this kind of mas

joining me now, the surgeon at brigham and women's hospital, professor at harvard's school of publicl of the biden-harris covid-19 advisory board. it is so good to have you here with so much going on. look. january was an incredibly tough month. that's an understatement. 22 states, set single day records in new deaths. add tom this morning from the doctor who is also a mental with you on the transition team, addressing what he expects to see as the impact. these new variants. here's part of what he that. >> the fact is that the surge that is likely to occur with this new variant from england will happen in the next six to 14 weeks. if we see that happen, which my 45 years in the trenches tell me we will, we will see something like we have not seen yet in this country. >> like we have not seen yet. what do you think, doctor, we need to be prepared for? >> well, on the one hand, the number of cases are down 40% from a month ago. so people are starting to do things that are better. and probably the most important thing is we see mask use up over 85%. that has been a critical part of get

joining me now, a surgeon at brigham and children's hospital, professor at harvard's school of publich and a former member of the biden-harris covid-19 advisory board. great to have you with us. so dr. dr. anthony fauci today addressed the latest on what experts believe the majority of americans will be vaccinated, reaching the so-called herd immune. here's a part of what he had to say, doctor. >> when you hear about how long it will take to get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated, i don't think anybody agrees that will be well to the end of the summer and we get in the early fall. when will we be able to start only process? it's probably going to be in the spring time. because the whole process will take a few months to actually get implemented. >> so what should we prepare for in the weeks and months ahead until that happens? >> well, i think we're seeing already that we're getting ramped up levels of vaccination. but we have to keep pushing. the critical population i'm concerned about is getting to the people over 65 and the people who have two co-morbidities.

doctors over at the brigham and women's hospital in boston believe the virus mutated in a 45 year-old man who died a 154 days into his illness. a lee doctor at the hospital says an autopsy found a virus mutations a similar to the variance from the uk, south africa and brazil. and those mutations were not present when the patients was first treated. and texas congressman ron writes has passed away become the first sitting member of congress to die following a covid-19 diagnosis, representative wright died last night after he was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago the 67 year-old announced his positive diagnosis on january 21st saying he was experiencing minor but feels okay and will continue to work for his constituents from home. his wife who also contracted the virus was by his side when he passed. congressman right was a cancer survivor, no word on how congress plans to honor him. and distinguished american statesman and san francisco resident george shultz has died schultz served as secretary of state under ronald reagan and as both labor and treasury secretary during the nixon a

faust at brigham women's hospital really focused in on the idea that the pressure needed to be relieved in the soft tissue and the muscles of the leg. what's the significance there? >> yeah, so you know, a couple of things. first of all, we knew some details last night, john. you and i were talking, but that was a snapshot in time, when he was taken to the hospital. you know, he was assessed to make sure he had no other injuries. because you're just not sure after an accident like that, it was a significant accident. are there other injuries that were just not clear at the actual scene? so, first of all, there is the good news in that, in that it doesn't appear that he's had any other sort of injuries to his head, torso, to his chest. all of that, important to note, as bad as this injury is, which i think dr. faust is right. i've spoken to a few orthopedic surgeons about this, as well. there's two simultaneous things they're talking about. one is significant fractures to the lower part of his leg, that's the tib/fib, the tibia, fibula. and it sounds like the nature of those fractures is

of course, and he was incredibly successful with his loading rifle and mounted on his fleet horse brigham named for the mormon patriarch, so, you see, he had a sense of history from the very beginning. he was a young man. i'm amazed he knew who la corretja borge was. it speaks to the power of education in territorial kansas. well, the workers for the railroad, he became a popular anything, needless to say, because he's bringing him dinner because they made up a little song, a little song about it. buffalo bill, buffalo bill never missed and never will. always aims and shoots to kill and a company pays his buffalo bill. that's your authentic american poetry right there. eat your heard out, europeans. the and let me just point out that it's not bides op william, bizon william, never missed and never will. it is indeed buffalo bill. what is this going on to make us stop calling buffalo buffalo and call them bison? bison? i mean, is that like greek and latin derivatives, bison? know it's scientifically incorrect like i care, and i would like to tell you it's part of the american language, but

i want to bring in the emergency room physician at brigham and women's hospital. thanks so much for joining us. let me get your medical analysis on what we heard. >> wolf, from the second that that collision occurred, the worst was feared, everything that happened since then has gone well in many, many senses. look at the car, look at the footage, the steering column, the tcage that protects the occupants are intact, the air bag did its job. you can see the high energy impact was dissipated just as was supposed to occur. then the deputies show up and determine he needs to go to the right hospital because he needs definitive care of his serious leg injuries. going to the operating room on this time frame has a very specific implication, that is that he had a real, real risk of nerve damage or internal bleeding in the legs that could threaten one of the limbs, so the recovery he faces, assuming one of the situations is the reason they took him to the or, the fractures were that bad, the recovery in front of him may be his biggest challenge he ever faced, including a

he's also a surgeon at brigham and women's hospitals and new york staff writer. community hit hard by the covid crisis good morning good to see you today. >> great to see you, becky. >> why don't we start with the mass vaccination sites you set up how do you think things are going so far and where do you think the problems are >> we've had a gradual start with planning really only starting around christmas to get them launched, but at this point we're up past 5,000 shots a day across our two sites and we're basically seeing across the country mass vaccination sites that have helped us get to the point we're at four times the vaccination rates a day. 1.5 million shots a day. >> that's great news >> it is that will continue to climb. what clearly is the challenge is the mass vaccination sites are not everywhere there are major community holes where we're not reaching enough people and have to have added solutions, including new sites but also creative solutions to bringing people in. >> just in terms of how much demand there is versus supply, scott gottleib has pos
