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

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

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

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

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

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

the war against covid-19 is far from over, far from won. the worst thing you could do right now would to be to mistake progress for victory. if we let our guard down now, we will see more of our fellow americans get sick and die unnecessarily. each of us can act to prevent this. our message remains the same as it has been all the way through, do your part, wear a mask on the socially distance, get vaccinated when it is your turn, period. do all of these things, and together, we will save lives, and we will put this pandemic behind us, sooner rather than later. with that, i am going to turn it over to dr. lewitt -- dr. walensky and then dr. fauci for updates. dr. walensky: thank you, and good morning, everyone. i want to begin with an overview of continued data. the most recent data shows a seven-the average of new cases is about 64,000 cases per day, up approximately 7% compared to the prior seven-day period your hospital admissions have also increased. the most recent seven-day trend average is about 4970 admissions per day, up about 3% fr

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

that means they are -- they have covid-19. they're able to transmit covid-19.ey don't have a temperature. so based on what we know and the scientific community, we don't get a lot of good information. it's not a good metric to use the temperature checks. i do believe that if we have some way of ensuring that someone is either vaccinated or can show a negative covid test using a cheap, reliable, quick testing process and the technology for that is evolving. that's our best filter for ensuring that we don't find people in the aviation system, at work, at schools, who are transmitting the disease. we have to find ways to stop this disease, and the best way to do it is by ensuring that people who still hold the disease and who are still creating variants in their bodies with the disease are no longer circulating in the population. >> well, it certainly support aggressive actions on that, but also looking for aggressive actions on deterrents to the next pandemic, and to make sure that our air transportation system is making all the safeguards. mr. callio, what do yo

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

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
