i'm chris manners, and you're watching coping with covid-19. today, my guest is an infeshttious disease specialist and leading the covid disease tracing team for the san francisco department of public health. she's here to talk about the city's contact tracing program and how to slow the spread of the virus. doctor, welcome to the show. >> thank you so much for having me. >> can we begin by talking about when the city's contact tracing program began and what are the services? >> sure. so we began contact tracing on the first day that we had a case here in san francisco, so that was march 5 of this year. the purpose of our program is to provide comprehensive services to people who are close to and diagnosed with covid. this includes anyone who's newly diagnosed gets a phone call from our trained health professionals in which we talk more about their diagnosis, make sure that they have accurate information. we then go into understanding a little bit more about their symptoms and trying to better understand when they first may have become infectio

covid. and beat back the assault as the virus rages in these next few months. it will not be easy. a high-performing hospital system as well as the diligence of new yorkers are the keys to stop the spread. second, the vaccine will end the covid crisis. we must vaccinate 70% to 90% of our 20 million new yorkers quickly, safely and fairly. we must learn the glaring and costly lessons of america's failed public health system. so we are better prepared for the next time. there will be a next time. we must deal with the short-term economic crisis. a $15 billion record state deficit that must be addressed in the next several weeks. we must plan our economic resurgence. the cost is too high. we simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. we will have nothing left to open. we must reopen the economy but we must do it smartly and safely. also, we must energize our lagging private sector and rebuild our economic platform, our transportation system, our infrastructure system for the

what covid did to us is different and how we responded to covid is different. we have a confidence born from accomplishment. we know what we must do. and we will do it, we will win the covid war and we will learn and growfrom the experience. we are smart, united, disciplined and loving. we are as we say new york tough . there are moments in life that can change a person fundamentally, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst . likewise there are episodes in history that transform society and covid is one of those moments. new york sees the moment for the crisis it is also the opportunity it presents . we understand the international trauma and disruption that it is causing. it has affected every aspect of society around the globe. generated new fundamental dynamics. even this presentation today is different. normally it is given in the albany convention center with thousands of people. today, i'm speaking in person with a small group but casting and streaming and in this new and different world, the audience is actually larger, not smaller. technology

so, he's got covid and he's had a stroke.atient has been admitted for every hour he's been on shift — by sam, eight. so, we're now going to run into a problem because we haven't got any beds. no beds? i had five beds to start the night. i've got two patients next door who need to come in. and here's another. where will he go? just bring the back of the bed. see if that helps. and is he on 100% now? yes. in pressurised rooms, the patients receive oxygen through masks. their condition monitored. but who may need more sustained help from a ventilator? stats below 96. one man's breathing badly falters. just do it, just do it, just do it. he must be intubated fast. and we watch as medics put him to sleep and push a long plastic tube down his throat, hooking him up to his new breathing machine. when he'll wake up, no—one knows. soon, he'lljoin so many others here oblivious to night and day, cared for by strangers like carlene, who we spoke to in the first wave of the virus back in may. i've felt broken on many occasion, and i think

i'm the white house covid coordinator. i had the privilege of being joined by four of america's leading doctors and health experts today. conducting our first covid-19 briefing. i will keep my comments very brief. yesterday, we met with governors and other local leaders to update them on our progress and plans. today, we are here because we have to have a regular series. we want to have a regular series of briefings to engage you on the state of the pandemic and give all of you accurate, up-to-date information. the president strongly believes that the scientists who are leading the effort should face the american people directly. to that end, going forward, you can expect to hear directly from people including dr. fauci, dr. nguyen minsky, and the sergeant general. my role as court nadir of our federal response is to ensure that we are empowering our experts and using the full capabilities of the u.s. government to respond to and recover from this pandemic. i will participate in these briefings periodically and have asked

she likely died of covid-19. does bop disagree with a determination that covid-19 possible cause of death? if so what evidence does it rely on to make that decision? >> what happened to robin is with anyone who dies for that matter. i don't know if we've ever disagreed with anything at an hour you are getting your information i'm not a i medical expert but we are simply saying what we are given that last piece of information from the georgia bureau, i don't have that information we never disputed or debated we call it like we see it. the paperwork we were given did not determine a cause of death. we are not disputing it. i would not do that. she was one ofof our staff. >> thank you for that answer but the border prison website we just had a chance to look at doesn't actually show her death. it shows the death of two staff members. are you planning on updating the website to identify the fact that robin did die and was an inmate death? >> you are correct it list two. again, i don't know all the specifics or legali

we want to know about your experience and lands with the covid vaccine -- and plans with the covid vaccine this year. on tuesday, joe biden outlined the challenges the vaccination efforts are facing and steps his administration plans to take. here's what president-elect biden had to say. [video clip] biden: the administration will spare no effort to make sure people get vaccinated. i have laid out three challenges in our first 100 days. that 100em, ensuring million shots have been administered by the end of the first 100 days. congress provides the funding -- if congress provides the funding, we will be able to meet this goal. the five to six times the current pace to one million shots per day. even with that improvement, even if we boost the speed to one million shots today, there will still take months to have a majority of the population vaccinated. directed my team to prepare a much more aggressive effort with more federal involvement and leadership to get things on track. we will find a way to boost the pace of vaccinations, but as dr. fauci and others have stated these past due days,

♪ ♪ >>we start with a grim new milestone as the global death toll from covid-19 has now topped 2 millions amid a monumental but an even effort to vaccinate people against the virus. although millions of shots have been given doses are still difficult to find and just a small group of people are eligible to get vaccinated right now thank you for joining us for kron 4 news at 5 i'm pam moore and i'm ken wayne, the covid vaccine rollout is very confusing for a lot of folks here at kron 4 we've been getting a lot of questions including how do i sign up and who gets it when. >>on first-and kerman has been digging into each bay area county to try to get some of these answers and tell us what we need to know dan. >>well each berrien county is slightly different but the key thing you want to keep in mind is you want to be checking with your provider because most cases that's where you're going to get the shot we should also be checking with your county's website. >>the first thing to remember is right now most areas is still vaccinating the top priority groups health care workers and those in lo

t be before everyone in the world gets a covid vaccine?— a covid vaccine?on _ a covid vaccine? i think that is a very difficult question to - a covid vaccine? i think that is a very difficult question to answerj very difficult question to answer accurately, as things stand. we are incredibly concerned about vaccine inequality we are seeing today. our research suggests that rich countries now have on average more than three times the vaccines they need to vaccinate their entire populations while nine out of ten people in the poorest countries are set to miss out on a vaccine this year, and on that our greatest challenges supply. not enough are being made, and we can only fix that supply problem if pharmaceutical corporations share their vaccine science and know how openly so that we can get more manufacturers across the globe making these safe and effective vaccines and in effect flooding the world with them so if anyone who needs them can access them as quickly as possible. ii'ioig�*n�* them as quickly as possible. how could cooperation _ them as quickly as

oliver: besides covid and the response to covid, the biggest challenge, perhaps, for his presidency will be -- one of the points when we look back in a couple of years very important to assess how successful he really was as a u.s. president that has such a big burden as he follows after donald trump, after all of this divisiveness and hatred and the rhetoric of course. the country is very polarized, of course. a lot of trump supporters live in a parallel reality at this point. the question the legitimacy of joe biden as u.s. president. they believe in misinformation. that was also made clear by joe biden in his inauguration speech. he asked americans for support. he said he wanted to be a president for all americans, but it will be a challenge to reach everyone on both sides of the political aisle. >> indeed, it will. thank you. from fighting the coronavirus to fighting climate change, president biden has signed executive orders to reverse trump era policies, including rejoining the paris climate accord. domestically, bidenas called for a net zero carbon emissions for the u.s. by 2050.

however, they do not have access to the 40-hour covid -- i'm sorry, the 80-hour covid hours extra that we give in san francisco. these are frontline workers who are as susceptible as any other nurse on the floor to covid, and therefore, there is no reason that they are not getting the covid hours. they must have these covid hours to be able to protect themselves, as they work in the field and protect the community and as well as protect their own co-workers. as roland pickens said a while ago it takes a village. well, the village cannot pick and choose when to protect and who to take care of. it needs to take care of everyone. thank you. so please, give the covid hours to the frontline 3103 nurses. thank you. >> thank you. all right. next caller. caller 12. you are unmuted. please speak. let us know that you are there. caller 12? i'll try that again. caller 12, are you there? okay, we'll come back to you. hopefully -- >> caller: yeah. >> okay, there you go. you've got two minutes. >> caller: hello, i just want to say i'm a former 3103 nurse. that was very fortunate to receive a 2320 pe

my parents have got covid.oment and ijust lost some very dear family relatives from covid, so when you see these patients in the hospital, it just gives you that flash back, as well. but you've got to shut that down and you've got to continue looking after your patients as best as you can. it'sjust so sad, you know, because, for every person that dies, |we know there's a family that's not| been able to do the normal things that they would do for that - loved one who has died. edith is a hospital chaplain. she has to face up to grief most days, comforting the dying and their families, but also supporting staff who feel the losses intensely. whenever you've got lots - of people dying on the ward, it comes at a huge cost to the staff, as well- as to the families. gary has been a hospital porter for 27 years. it is emotionally draining. we move poorly people and then obviously we have to move deceased people. diane is a cleaner. she is on the covid front line as much as anyone. i think if you could see the light at

people are frustrated about covid and the regulations around covid.s a lot going on. >> tapping into dissatisfaction. it's interesting too, vladimir putin is on his fifth president. joe biden's calling on putin to release navalny. but what leverage does the u.s. have? >> i don't think the u.s. has very much, really. i mean, more sanctions, yes. speaking out, yes. but i think it's very difficult for the biden administration right now because they have to obviously support navalny because somebody tried to kill him and poison him. that is very serious. but if the united states tries to overplay its hand and treat navalny like, i don't know, kind of like the old soviet days, you know, a dissident, that's not really quite what's going on. and especially if the united states tries to start preaching to russians about how to do democracy, that probably, at least in my opinion, will not work and could even backfire. so it has to be handled in a very balanced way. it's not easy. >> great analysis, as always. jill dougherty, a pleasure. good to see you, my fri

the hospital's lead for social care says it has been successfully used for non—covid patients. for non—covid issues. we know there is a demand for more of these hotel beds to be set up in order to ease the pressure on the nhs. we hope by starting small we can up scale in order to meet demands of the trust. london's declared a major incident. with more than 7,000 covid patients in the hospitals and admissions approaching 1,000 a day, staff say this year's winter pressure is off the charts. it really is unprecedented, in terms of the number of patients that require intensive care, being put on a ventilator at one time, and most hospitals have reached, have expanded intensive care capacity to somewhere in the region of three times their normal capacity. but it is extremely pressurised and the staff are doing their utmost, but they are being worn down by their pressure. but they are being worn down by that pressure. once more we must all stay home. a simple clear message the government hopes will hit home in this new advertising campaign. it reinforces just how critical it is to follow the socia
