sanjay gupta joins me now. so grim looking at these numbers. talk about the hope ahead of us. that, of course, is the vaccine that people are relying on, hoping this will get us out of the pandemic. cdc has issued new guidance, claiming a person could take one dose of the pfizer vaccine and another of the moderna vaccine in exceptional situations and that those could be up to six weeks between if necessary. do you think they're loosening the guidelines because production has fallen so far behind? >> i think is probably driving this here. uneven distribution, the administration obviously, these vaccines were not where we should be. and this question comes up a lot. it's one of the most common questions i get, pamela. just got the first dose. what if i can't get the second dose of that same vaccine? people are quiet concerned about it. in the uk, they loosened these guidelines quite some time ago. hopefully, people don't need to do that. scientifically, it seems to make sense. it should still work. these are very similar vaccines and 42 days or s

sanjay gupta. season jay, great to see you. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> it's everybody is so hopeful that we will be able to turn a page but of course coronavirus has followed us into this new year. so how different do you think 2021 will be? >> i think it's going to look a lot different. i mean, i guess it's hard not to, 2020 was such a unique and tragic year. we've all lived through this physically, psychologically. these vaccines, i think, are -- they are here, they are going to be more widely distributed. it is incredibly hopeful not just because of the vaccines but i think also because of what they represent. we were able to respond so quickly to this pandemic by creating something that typically takes years if not decades to make a vaccine, and they're going to make a significant impact, but it takes a while still. so by this time next year i think we are going to be in a very different position. the vaccines, the testing, things like that that will happen over these next few months here in 2021 will certainly c

vin gupta. dr. gupta, happy new year.most a year later talking about much of the same things. i want to first talk about the new strain discovered in the uk back in september. it's accounted for more than 60% of the new cases in london, the towns around it. could we see this variant become the dominant strain here in the u.s.? and what would the impact on our health care system if that were to happen? >> the answer is yes. experts across the country are saying that this is likely this uk strain is likely to become the dominant strain transmitting in our communities by, say, march. and so what does that mean for health care systems, to your second question? if this is truly more transmissible since that's what's being talked about, that this is more transmissible but not necessarily more lethal. what does that mean? it does mean that if the country does what it continues to do, so you're seeing more than a million people fly each day during this holiday season, seeing obviously a lot of pandemic fatigue. it's likely it app

mr gupta has been speaking to our business editor simonjack, from nissan's headquarters injapan.orld in our more than 35 years of history. we have invested more than £4 billion in this plant and we spend £3.5 billion every year, which goes to the uk economy. we are going to redefine the auto industry in the united kingdom because the brexit makes nissan's sunderland plant competitive in the uk and outside the uk when it comes to exports. the business secretary kwasi kwarteng said nissan's decision represents a genuine belief in britain and a huge vote of confidence in the uk economy. i think this is hugely significant news, and a great, positive win for britain, but also for the people of sunderland. i think it's an amazing opportunity, not only to build back better, but also to build evs, to have battery technology built here, giga factories. and it represents a real vote of confidence, not only in the brexit deal, but also in the future this country and the economic opportunities that we have. and i think for the people of sunderland, this is a really, really big win. i'll be t
