-19 critical covid-19, mild covid-19. when we look at the analyses, have a description of something about protection against moderate to severe covid-19. there's no case definition for moderate orr severe covid-19 but i want clarification, is this moderate and to severe? how do they come up this moderate to severe? >> that is correct. >> sorry, could you please repeat the. >> that is correct. they are together. >> moderate and severe pooled together with an analysis on that? >> yes. >> thank you. >> doctor hildreth. >> i have a question about the response, they made a strong response but it never saw the response, they were in about two thirds of them. >> thank you. next question and going to refer. >> in our other programs, we see vaccine similar and they compare to vaccines,.

covid-19 has devastated the world. to date there have been nearly 103 million confirmed cases worldwide, more than two million people have died, including over 450,000 in the united states. the lock downs necessitated by the pandemic have triggered the worst recession since the great depression. we must join with our partners and allies around the globe to end the scourge once and for all. now, with so many americans shattered by the death, disruption, and economic devastation unleashed by coronavirus, i am sure more than a few would question why we should bother spending any resources in the global fight against covid-19 let alone $10 billion. the simple answer is covid-19 knows no borders. the pandemic didn't start here but it came here. the world is in a race against covid-19 and we cannot lose. for the longer we allow this virus to spread, the more it will mutate into new strains, and the more that it mutates into new strains, the greater the threat to the efficacy of our vaccines and our ability to rebuild our eco

efficacy against severe covid-19 and asymptomatic covid-19 conversion of serology against the new protein. and those covid-19 cases at a local laboratory at the university of washington for confirmation and they further stipulated and with those not all positive have the trigger for the primary analysis can be confirmed by the central laboratory. and with that essential confirmation process. and with that high concordance of the central confirmation 93 percent the majority have low viral loads impacted by the shipping process. with the primary efficacy and analysis by the protocol. and is still awaiting confirmation by the central laboratory so with the decision of the estimates. that full analysis to include this study that protocol leading for that efficacy with that full analysis of prior source at baseline. that subset used for the analysis and those events through 20 days postvaccination. at the time of the primary analysis with the efficacy and safety for eight weeks postvaccination and with the comorbidity with the participants in these groups with a two-week difference in the medi

so, he's got covid and he's had a stroke?as 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? so i had five beds to start the night. 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? yeah. 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 a lot o

in this document, the sponsor says 1.5 defines moderate covid-19 to critical covid-19 and mild covid-19 yet when we look at the analyses, we have what i presume are polls, a description about protection against moderate to severe covid-19. there is no case definition for moderate to severe covid-19 but i want the clarification, is our rank data, related data, is this gluing of moderate to severe to come up with this moderate to severe? >> that is correct, indeed. >> sorry, could you repeat that? >> that is indeed correct. they are together. >> moderate and severe, together with an analysis run on that? >> yes. >> thank you. >> doctor hildreth. >> okay. have a question about the response to the ad 26. participants on the response -- [inaudible] about two thirds, how does that compare to other at 26 you've developed? >> thank you. i'm going to refer the question. [inaudible] >> yes. in other programs, there vaccine similar in responses can compare to other vaccines, these are higher, we've seen similar rates -- [inaudible] [inaudible] the vaccine you said -- >> indeed. we see the groups

i before covid, there was a big funding gap-— before covid, there was a big funding gap. before covides. none of us are safe until all of us are safe, and we have had the opportunity to get vaccinated. the same is true with education. our world will be strengthened, more peaceful, more prosperous, if every child gets a great education, and that should matter to all of us. our problems do not stay at the national boundaries any longer. and so we are urging everybody to get involved in campaigning for resourcing to education to make sure that domestic governments are making the right decisions, not cutting back, and there is an opportunity in the middle of this year, injuly, at an event co—hosted by the governments of the united kingdom and kenya, for everyone to be raising their hand for education. the global partnership for education is seeking to raise at least $5 billion of that event to invest in schooling for the most marginalised children. that's not all that needs to be done, but i think that will be an early indicator as to whether the world gets this, it is prepared to put res

so i was wrong about the covid part. and time will tell if it matters a the -- if it matters at all. so with that, i'll yield to my friend and colleague, the chairman of the committee, senator sanders. mr. sanders: let me thank my colleague from south carolina. and i look forward to -- he's going to be the ranking member of the budget committee. got a lot of work to do, and the i look forward to work being with -- and i look forward to working with him. as senator graham indicated, we are going to begin the vote a rama process, where senators can offer amendments with debate limited to two minutes -- one minute for the proponents and one minute for the opponents. the last time i checked -- i may be a little behind the times on this -- my republican colleagues have filed over 550 amendments, which theoretically we'll be here for day, but i think not. i have a feeling it will be a very long night, but i assume we will get out of here at some point. unfortunately, many of the amendments being offered have absolutely nothing

for preventions of covid-19. vaccin remain approved products and not sufficient qualities for needs. johnson's request was submitted on february 4th, 2021, the vaccine known and administered as a one dose regimen. the communication is for active administration to present covid-19 and sar-cov-2 of 18 years of age and older printed the information submitted in support for this request, includes safety and efficacy dar more than 43000 at random a nice in multinational blinded placebo trial zero zero one. participants were enrolled it from eight countries, the united states, argentina, brazil, berlin, colombia, mexico, and south africa. i will be hearing details about this trial in debate, they will be discussed during the afternoon session. the fda has been conducting a comprehensive review of the iejohnson covid-19 vaccine received on february 4th, 2021, and this is in addition to several months of completed review work done on materials and information submitted previously in support of preparation for the e you a

the same holds true for covid-19 test. the updated guidelines describes the fda's activities to better understand the public health impact on the variants and the impact on the test performances, and provide recommendations to the developers of these tests regarding the future genetic mutations and what they need to do when designing or modifying their existing tests. and finally, the same holds true for therapeutics, both drugs and biologics. the fda will provide recommendations on the efficient approaches, how to generate data that potentially could support an eua for monoclonal antibody products that might actually be effective against emerging variants, which obviously will be an issue because we already know particularly that the south african variant is, in fact, obviating the effect of several of the monoclonal antibodies that people have developed. and former guidances on therapeutics will also be updated to address the evolving landscape of the covid-19 drug development, again, in the context of emerging sars-cov-

it's a variant of covid you probably need 85 per cent regular covid 70%. can get to that number in different ways you can get a vaccine or you can get covid. in places where they've seen a lot of covid like the tri-state area of new york, new jersey connecticut or new delhi or even one can involve the fact that some people enough people i've seen natural infection keeping rates of new infection. you know, i'm contributing to that immunity, but the difference not unity and vaccine immune is that is a big variation not unity as much as a 1000 and it's unpredictable and it goes it may go away after a while vaccine, it's a little bit more predictable. >>now we are seeing these numbers hopefully continue to go in this direction but should we be concerned about a new variant if we do see more and more various coming in could these numbers go back up. >>yes, he's known as definitely go back up based on what kind of superpower is a very and so that you came here in the 1, 1, 7, for example just as one mean super which is to transmit itself more readily. some of th

it appears from looking at the data there are diabetes cases directly related to covid.f the things that we saw early on is this virus can get into the pancreas because the receiptor for the virus in the pancreas, although it not on the cells, the cells ordinarily associated with diabetes so we're trying to understand is there collateral damage by an immune attack on the pancreas sells attacking the islet cells. this is a new area of research for doctors to understand but we're seeing what looks like type one diabetes we see in kids and teenagers and people with covid-19. >> so much more to learn we've come a long way, though. dr. hotez, thank you so much. >>> millions of americans are waiting for financial relief out of this crisis and now, house democrats are outlining who will get it and how much they'll get. and investigators have found no everyday that kobe bryant pressured his pilot to fly in bad weather. what they did find is next y in r what the >>> and dangerously low temperatures hitting many parts of the country they are sticking around and on the move stay tu

if you saw the phrase "covid kim" trending on twitter tonight, covid kim would be covid iowa governor kim reynolds. all the covid related rules in the state of iowa are being lifted by the governor as of sunday morning. right in time for super bowl parties. iowa just this week confirmed that the new more transmissible variants of the virus are circulating in the state of iowa. under governor kim reynolds' leadership the state of iowa currently ranks 47th out of 50 in vaccine distribution. to celebrate that occasion, she's decided no more rules at all in iowa and that tip top republican priority, apparently, no masks. today the cdc's flagship scientific reports, mmwr, published two new reports on the effectiveness of masks against the pandemic that has killed nearly a half million americans. one of the studies shows clear results that after mask mandates were instituted, hospitalization rates dropped noticeably in those jurisdictions. republicans in wisconsin and iowa state government have received this news by trying to kill their existing mask mandates. and so, you know, president tr

host: before covid -- guest: before covid, my laboratory focus on influenza. it seems like public health interventions put in place to limit covid are having a greater effect on flu, cold, and respiratory viruses. we are not seeing those infections presumably because of public health interventions that we are having. there are three questions there. host: he did have covid at one point and wonders if it is ok to take the vaccine. guest: people in vaccine studies were in exactly that situation. a number of people had covid when they were enrolled in vaccine studies. getting the vaccine after having covid resulted in strong immune responses. if you had covid, make sure you line up for the vaccine as well guarantee vaccine should help strengthen your immune responses. vaccination gives stronger immune responses than infection, particularly in the case of a caller with a mild case. if you had covid, stolen him for the vaccine when it is your turn to do it because that vaccine will help strengthen your immune responses and get you to a high level of immunity. host:

paul, the first flight attendant in the nation to die from covid.we send our thoughts and prayers to his family. my question is in regards to the payroll support program because although we have discussed a lot of things today, this is one that is most urgently on my mind. on the first of april, thousands of airline employees across the nation will lose their jobs, will be involuntarily furloughed the result of not extending past the first of october resulted in 32,000 of those airline employees being furloughed. congress and the 116th congress appropriated 15 billion but not until december and that will expire on the 31st of march in 55 days. so, my question is for ms. nelson. the number we've come up with is something that's being debated and there are colleagues of mine that do not want to extend up to $15 billion to the airline industry so my question is what would be the ramifications of not meeting that number. how did the industry come up with that number and how important is it for congress to extend that $15 billion to this next package and

. 10 study participants develop severe covid and only five developed severe covid, most were in the placebo group but these are very small numbers and the differences are not statistically significant. it's misleading to tell the public that nobody was vaccinated was hospitalized unless you also tell them that only five people in the placebo group were hospitalized . the data indicates the vaccine is effective but doesn't prove that the vaccine is especially effective against moderate and severe covid. after 28 days there were zero covid cases for ages 75 and older in the vaccine arm and for cases in the placebo arm. too few to draw conclusions about efficacy and the oldest patients. next slide. the vaccine is effective the median follow-up is only eight weeks after the shot. does human immunity last only two months, four months or a year? we won't know unless randomized controlled trialis continued . last slide. in conclusion, the fda guidance for vaccine approval specified at least a year or two of follow-up. fda's guidance for eua drastically shortened that to a median of 2 months and th

you know, we're saying covid relief. we're still covid triage. and so when we start, you know, so triage, continuity, recovery, and if we're in between triage and continuity, how do we get to full recovery? and what we spoke about, in our hearing yesterday, which is a tremendous hearing, about what is happening to american innovation, if you recall, for those who were serving in the 116th congress and for those who weren't, were eager to share, the science committee continued with our hearings. right off the bat. i don't think we were having the remote hearings, we were calling them meetings, but we do have them captured what we were talking about, and the first one we had was on that same point, what's going to happen to the innovation, because we don't want to fall further behind. so while it's quite pertinent, and mr. chairman, mcgovern, allow me for the record, because i mistakenly said in my intro remarks that we were doing 150,000 for nsf. it's, i said 150 million. it's, we're doing 600 million for nsf and 150 million for the next. and that

one involves living with covid. the other, known as zero covid, does not.that coronavirus will exist in the community for years to come. u.k. government appears sympathetic to that. health secretary has told -- the health secretary has said covid will only change fm a pandemic that affects all of our lives into another illness that we have to live with, like we do flu. here is a colleague of his from the conservative party. >> there will come a point where there will be a death rate from covid at a normal level, then we have to cope with it. we still try to prevent it, but we accept it. ros: the argument is that eradicating the virus is extremely difficult. it's only been achieved with smlpox. it's a very different disease to covid. it's clear when someone is infected. you know straightaway if a vaccine work. -- worked. covid-19 is less clear-cut. one argument against eradication is that it's very difficult. another is that it's not necessary, because vaccines are going to reduce severe symptoms and reduce pressure on health services. in this circumstance,

the covid response team once again. this will be their first briefing since we capped off what has been the deadliest month of this pandemic so far. more than 96,000 american lives were lost in january. that means last month an american died from covid-19 every 28 seconds. that's adding to the toll to speed up vaccinations. there could be potential lessons from one state that's being hailed as a success story. west virginia. coming up, i will talk to the governor, republican jim justice, about how that state is getting the job done. but getting shots in arms on the east coast today, may have to waist. a massive winter storm is blanketing a third of the country right now. look at that. it's bringing snow, rain, high winds to some 75 million americans as far south as kentucky. folks, it's expected to get worse throughout the day. we will get an update where things stand in the weather department in a few moments. >>> first, white house covid-19 response team briefing should start any moment. mike mem

the covid-19 pandemic has posed a challenge to our nation. since the start, dod has protected his people, supported the natural response, ensured the readiness of the national security missions to protect dod personnel from the pandemic. dod and plummeted measures to -- implemented measures including protection guidance, restrictions of movement orders, social distancing, mask wearing, telework on and on -- on an unprecedented scale. dod has also established a tiered vaccine plan following cdc guidance tailored to dod's unique requirements. as of 16 february, dod has ministered -- administered 800 60,000 doses of the vaccine. dod support to the national response to the covid pandemic has evolved over the last 13 months. dod assistance began in late january 2020, supporting embassies around the globe to repatriate u.s. citizens to the united states. in support of the state department, u.s. trance, facilitated the safe return of more than 4500 americans. in support of hhs, the military departments aided the quarantine of more than 3000 individu

total is we about 20,000 that have been diagnosed with covid and we have performed over 350,000 covid test. we have gone through resurgence in march, april, may last year. a little bit in the summer, but really the past two months have been really hard with a lot of inpatients. today, we are sort of coming down a little bit from our surge , but we still have over 200 patients and their hospitals today. and of the close to 6000 patients that we have cared for in our hospitals, almost 600 have passed away. it really has been an all hands on to taking and it's just been very hard for our staff and really the sacrifices they are making. you're going to hear a lot today about some of the long-term effects of the virus, you are going to hear about the care we provide, you are going to hear about vaccines. one of the things we have learned about this virus, it keeps throwing things at us. the most recent thing is the new variants that are coming up. i think we are going to hear more about them. we know some of them have been in the united kingdom, brazil, south africa. we have been trying to

covid cases have been declining now for five weeks. the seven day average has decreased nearly 22% to an average of slightly more than 86,000 cases per day. similarly, hospitalizations have been a climbing -- have been declining since early january, averaging approximately 7700 admissions per day. we continue to see the daily number of reported deaths fluctuate. the latest data so i decline to an average of 376 deaths per day. these are a painful reminder of all of those that we have lost and continue to lose to this pandemic. while cases and hospitalizations continued to move in the right direction, we remain in the midst of a very serious pandemic , and continue to have more cases than we did even during last summer's peak. it could jeopardize the progress we have made in the last month if we let our guard down. as of yesterday, we have confirmed 1277 cases of a variant across 42 states, including the first case with the substitution that has previously been found in the u.k. 19 cases of the variant have been found across 10 states,

the same hold true for covid tests. the updated guidelines describes the fda's activities to better understand the public health impact on the variants and the impact on the test performances and provide recommendations to the developers of these tests regarding the future genetic mutations and what they need to do when designing or modifying their existing tests. finally the same holds true for therapeutics, both drugs and biologics. the fda will provide regulations on the efficient approaches, how to generate data that potentially could support an eua for monoclonal antibody products that actually might be effective against emerging variants which obviously will be an issue because we already know, particularly that the south african variant is in fact obviating the effect of several of the monoclonal antibodies that people have developed. and former guidances on therapeutics will also be updated to address the evolving landscape of the covid-19 drug development again in the context of emerging sars/cov-2 variants. in
