william moss at john hopkins. this is bloomberg. romaine: today we are focused on the role of vaccines across the globe. we have a vaccine tracker that tracks the percentage of the adult population that has been vaccinated in each country. eu at 70%. a big target that it had thought to achieve. -- hope to achieve. it is now putting europe on pace to get ahead of the united states. caroline: look at africa, no data or sub 5% of the population has been vaccinated. asia also lacking behind. -- lacking the hind -- lagging behind. we are also worried about ourselves and our own countries. how you play catch up? how do we get to herd immunity when a large population are not getting vaccines? romaine: that is a brutal tour to look at. that feeds into the debate of where some of these axis doses -- surplus doses are going. caroline: we had the world health organization bag to not give booster shots when we have not gotten developing nations vaccinated. the executive director at the school of public health, spell out for us the risks of coun

we have a net anderson deputy director of the johns hopkins center for safe and healthy schools. she is currently helping school districts return to in person learning. i met, -- and at -- annette, what are some of the biggest questions? annette: have we done enough? we are planning for students to come in buildings in just a few weeks. in some schools in the south, children have been quarantined already. we are in year three of pandemic education. they are just hoping we can bring students back. but, they want to make sure we have done everything possible to make that happen. that includes whether we need to change future vaccine mandates. heavy -- have we looked at where the windows are located? whether ventilation will be upgraded. many schools are using cares act funding to try to improve ventilation. but, we are running against the clock. it is important that district administrators continue to communicate to parents what the cases look like locally. romaine: a lot of the changes that have to be made to prepare kids are changes that have already been made in the hybrid year

bloomberg's philanthropy at johns hopkins. the cdc -- is the normal operation of measles, mumps, and rubella, 15 months old, then a booster shot at 5-year-old, and it is a no big deal. why is a booster shot of covid a big deal? andy: right now, we are dealing with massive surges of cases. with the measles virus, case numbers are normally quite low, so vaccination rates that give you moderate immunity initially are enough to keep the virus down. you then boost the immunity later to get a protectant -- protection for most of your lifetime. sars-cov-2 is starting to change a little bit. not as much as influenza, but it is showing the ability to change. and we have not gotten anywhere close to the level of immunity in the population to keep case numbers down. so we are still working out how to keep a long-term covid-19 policy, but i think everybody leaves we will be dealing with covid-19 for the long-term. tom: is your perspective -- and i am looking at "the miami herald," where the lads and lovelies in western have their masks on

hansoti, with johns hopkins university. much more on this global pandemic as well.a data check. dow futures up 15. the vicks quiet over the last 48 hours. the yield, there it is, 1.3019. that speaks volumes. lisa: it talks about how even though we have optimism, we have seen peak delta fears and the optimism has only gotten treasury yields up to 1.3%. how do we get back up to 2%? tom: the real yield as well. taylor riggs, -1.2%. i'm sorry, it is not a lesser negative number. taylor: you could argue it has come up from the -1.20 just two to three weeks ago. it speaks to the pessimism in the markets. what does the 1.30 tell us? negative real yields everywhere in japan. 1.30 in the u.s. looks good. tom: what i would go to as well as the equity markets, speaking on the lowers. greg peters said yesterday, lower for longer is where we are. we didn't think we would be there in august. it is august. back-to-school. we need more tang. this is bloomberg. good morning on radio and television. ♪ and there you have it- woah. wireless on the most reliable network nationwide. wow.

chris beyrer of the johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health. think about how the vaccines relate into this equation, should we be recalibrating them to account for the variant, should we just be giving everyone a third shot of the vaccines that already exist? dr. beyrer: the first most important thing to say is we are only at 51% of all americans who are eligible for a vaccine being fully immunized. the first and most important thing is many more people need to be immunized. we have three safe and highly efficacious vaccines with emergency use authorization, and we are not using them enough. number two, we probably will see a recommendation on boosters, but for people with immunosuppression and immunocompromised. right now the data is suggesting the vaccines we have are holding up robustly against serious disease with delta. what we are seeing is an epidemic of the unvaccinated. kailey: the vaccines seem to be holding up against delta but i'm reading about the lambda variant which may be more resistant. it seems the variants just keep coming. h

jennifer knew so -- nuzzo from johns hopkins center for health and security.o talk about the damage done to surprised the -- done to society more broadly. my nephew, my godson, he went to the park the other day, two years old and a couple weeks, he went to the park and said hi to another child, touched the child on his arm and the other kid touched him on the arm. he had been told at nursery you cannot hug each other and you cannot hold hands and cannot touch each other's arms. that is what we are doing to children around the world. tom: we are all dealing with the daily. we are talking to our guests all the time off the mic and off the camera. we have a huge network of people from all walks of life. i am here 24/7 -- hearing 24/7 from everybody and i had to buy school clothes yesterday, uniforms and that stuff. we are there. school, even for people -- jon: i think the point is we are often having a narrow conversation about the pandemic and not having a broader conversation about the broader health crisis that is taking place. tom: lisa is living every day. j

tom: that is a johns hopkins expert in medicine.the simplicity of the day after day grind of this pandemic, and it is time now to talk about the little critters that we are scared of. stuart ray is more than interesting. he is an infectious disease expert at johns hopkins, someone familiar with hiv, hepatitis c, but far more the path from caltech to vanderbilt and research in all of these little critters. when you hear the simplicity of the media and pond and tree talking about this pandemic, what is the observation you want to tell us about this odd and unique virus? >> it is great to be with you and i have to say we have learned a lot. the thing i think we should understand is we need to use that learning. we know vaccines are the factor that seems to be controlling deaths and hospitalizations in places where you have high vaccination rates. you look at iceland, where they have had a big spike in very few deaths. we also know masks or respirators are effective things. -- things we have underutilized. if he used -- we used the tool

way better than the johns hopkins professor whose son advised pete buttigieg. did what he was trained to do. he ran away for money. omar, if you ever raise questions about vetting these afghans that are going to pour into this country, who knows who they are. if you raise questions about them, that means you are insecure. listen to the squad leadership on that. >> then you have got these crazy people on the right doing you know what they always do with their fear-mongering and their hateful rhetoric. i know what some of these people are worried about. they are worried refugees like myself when they come to this country will outshine them. jesse: omar is outshining everybody and that's what we are upset about. >> most americans haven't married a sibling. notice the contempt she has more american-born americans. the people who built the country that rescues her from a revenue gee camp from kenya. we brought you here because we are nice. you left a country full of people who aren't nice. you don't like us for that. you are not grateful. you hate us for that. you a

according to the johns hopkins university tracker. it took a year to register the 1st $100000000.00 infections, but that figure has doubled in.

and start with a virus tracker from johns hopkins university showing in red. he of the number of cases there's you see up now above 200000000, but there is a lot of focus, especially coming from the world health organization right now about vaccinations, the green number, i mean large it for you. they have actually been almost 4270000000 vaccine doses administered worldwide. now will population of 7000000000. most of them needing to shots? we are still away off bots. me look at the total numbers here. nearly 30 percent of the world population has had one dose. 15 percent of had their 2 doses. and 42 point. oh $1000000.00 and now administered each day. i don't think oh there guys, it's catching up now. $42000000.00 doses each day, but only one percent of people in low income countries have had one dice and you can see it so clearly on the map, it is africa and parts of eastern europe, which are really, really lagging behind. and all of that is why the world health organization is urging rich nations to pulls their plans to administer booster shots. so jordan ha

according to johns hopkins university, the u.s.ay average is more than 100,000 new cases per day. this comes as just over 50% of the u.s. population is now fully vaccinated. and florida seems to be getting the worst of it. the sunshine state has the highest number of hospitalizations per capita nationwide. it's also reporting its highest weekly number of new covid cases since the pandemic began. but despite raging coronavirus case numbers in his state, florida governor ron desantis is holding firm rejecting the idea of a mask mandate in schools. and he's using it as an issue to inflame his supporters in the covid culture wars. >> i have young kids. my wife and i are not going to do the masks with the kids, we never have. i want to see my kids smiling. i want them having fun. >> but desantis isn't going unchallenged. two lawsuits have been filed against him over his executive order banning mask mandated. the governor's critics say his appeal to his republican base is playing politics with floridians' health. >> governor desantis is

right now, with covid, according to the john hopkins university covid tracker, there have been 197 one million cases. more than 4 million deaths. we have had more than 600,000 deaths in the u.s., from covid. those numbers are not exactly the same, but we are still talking in the hundreds of millions of infections worldwide with covid. when we talk about the flu pandemic, it is connected to that same pandemic that happened more than 100 years ago with the flu pandemic. did i hear you say that correctly? guest: some of the genetic information, yes. host: does that signal that the virus we are dealing with now could still be around in some form or fashion 100 years from now? guest: personally, i think that this virus is never going away. in 1889, what everybody thought was an influenza pandemic, it was called the russian flu. it was a couple months ago, some scientists speculated that it was actually not in influenza, that it was caused by coronavirus. today it causes the common cold. it is impossible to say whether or not they are correct, but it is an interesting hypothesis that the evi

bhakti hansoti, manchester united fan and johns hopkins professor of medicine.w you did that, you teed me up to be the person -- tom: i did not know that. bend it like beckham. you can kick the ball with both sides of your feet? jonathan: we can talk about that later. i wonder how new york city is going to roll out this policy and how it affects people who come out of state into restaurants -- into new york that want to go into restaurants. lisa: we raise issues of which vaccinations are eligible. is it all three of them or do you start accepting others that are more prevalent among tourists? i am not sure what this robot is going to look like but we are moving closer to mandated vaccinations. i am wondering when we are going to see mandated vaccines among school-age children. tom: here is a solution -- jonathan: tom is holding up the excelsior pass on his smartphone. very easy to download and fill in the details. but you have the excelsior pass, you need to have had the vaccine in new york city -- in new york state. you have not had that -- if you have not had

we spoke earlier with a chemist from john hopkins.abramowicz and tom keene with an important discussion on a concept i totally disagree with, which is herd immunity. sam fazeli with bloomberg intelligence wrote a tour de force yesterday on herd immunity. sam fazeli, is herd immunity a valid concept or is it a theoretical we will never get to? sam: thanks very much for having me back on. it is a calculation that can be made on paper using x number of variables that tell you what you think you will need to do to try to stop the transmission of a virus. while you are doing that, the virus is changing, people are changing, the world is changing. tom: is that a concept for micro background -- microbiology and bacterial biology that is less for virology. sam: certainly viruses have a much higher ability to mutate and evolve depending on the virus. you make all of your predictions based on what you're thinking about the virus. six month ago we were saying the virus does not change very much. here we are with i do not know how many variants w

we will have the latest on the virus with a doctor from the johns hopkins center for health security. i want to look at what is going on in the markets. the s&p 500 is off, but only about a quarter of a percent, after hitting a new record high last week. you have the u.s. 10 year yield coming down a little bit. we continue to see very low levels. the u.s. dollar index is moving up a little bit. we have been hovering there for quite a long time. and cooed coming down $.88 -- crude oil coming down $.88. we are following a very fluid situation in afghanistan. desperate themes playing out in the international airport today. thousands rushed to exit the country after taliban fighters exited the capital city, with reports from the airport. here is what newsmakers have been saying about the unfolding crisis. >> what is particularly alarming has been the military victories the taliban has obtained. >> the taliban have won. they took 20 years to do it and have proven their strategy of patience will outlast the united states. >> we will see if the process of actually building a government happe

tom: that is john hopkins on schools yesterday. st 31 and the schools are front and center. lisa abramowicz and tom, great guests coming up. i want to point out that john bolton will join us here on afghanistan and particularly his focus on pakistan. i believe we will do that in an hour and a half. a mr. doll joe with us -- dr. am esh adaljia. america is bundled in with kosovo, lebanon, and montenegro. it is about the idea of travel. when you look at the regional disparity of how we are dealing with this epidemic, are you surprised europe tells us we cannot travel there? >> are not surprised. we know political leaders often run for travel bans and restrictions as their first way to reassure domestic populations but we know travel restrictions do not work. it did not keep covid-19 out of the united states and will not keep any of these cases out of other countries. i think now in the era where we have vaccines and can verify people's vaccination status and we have testing, you can have much more freer travel even when there are cases

what is so important is what we heard from johns hopkins two days ago, in their opinion, this is dr.f it is not pfizer, if it is it moderna, don't do it. that's what we need. lisa: the idea not all vaccines are equal and some are more efficacy -- efficacious after a long period of time. the question, will boosters be necessary? if these vaccines are still completely effective, 93 percent efficacy seems effective after six months, does this negate the near term needed for boosters and what does that do for the possibility of some of these pharma companies but in general how secure doesn't give the recovery in terms of footing? tom: moderna managing the message with huge revenue and profit growth. i now, a joy after clara and before this important labor report, the gentleman who restructured our knowledge of wages 20 years ago, david blanchflower is with dartmouth, professor of economics, always controversial, his public service to his united kingdom years ago. professor, do you see any indication of wage growth or wage inflation i should say with the nascent inflation we see? >> the m

joshua sharfstein joins from johns hopkins. doing when they look at the new conundrum of getting schools launched in the classroom? dr. sharfstein: i think they are looking at the data, which shows if you have multiple mitigation measures in place, you are in the best possible position to prevent illnesses for teachers, other adults in school, and students. those measures are going to include masks for teachers and students, vaccines for all the adults and older kids who can take them, and better ventilation. if other things. if you do those things, you are really minimizing the chance of a problem, probably to the point where it is quite low. we will obviously have to see how this plays out. it is very disturbing to me is how some school boards are acting like the virus is really not that much of a threat, and they could be sorely mistaken. lisa: what do you think is a remedy, given the fact that it seems to be a state-by-state endeavor with florida actually banning mask mandates in schools, other saying you need to wear masks

tom: i understand a beige suit is banned at johns hopkins. a to montaigne man off of -- a dell monte man off of an ad. the dell monte man asks about fresh produce of coral gables florida. what do people like you need from private enterprise to jumpstart what the government refuses to do? dr. nuzzo: it is not even so much what i need. i think large employers looking at wanting to get their operations back normal, they are increasingly looking to demand vaccines among employs because that is the easiest, fastest path to getting back to normal and avoiding costly workplace interruptions. i think it is different when the government requires it and employers do. when employers do, it is a manner of business continuity and making sure they can function in the business as they have been. i think we will increasingly see employers mandate vaccines for their employees. they can do that now before the fda formally approves the vaccine. i think there is some word about that but i think we're hearing approval will come soon which might alleviate worries.

johns hopkins, professor johns hopkins marty makary estimates half the population has been infected withovid. that means they have some immunity from prior infection. 93 million people who haven't been vaccinated who are eligible. if you take half of those having prior infection that's about 46 million people. we are talking about a very small subset of the nation that is at risk. for the rest of us, the pandemic is over. we have turned this morality threat into something that's no more dangerous than the common cold and stop fear-mongering about it. >> mike: marc, bringing in the numbers. mara, it is producing a surge of people getting vaccinated. your thoughts where we are with this pandemic? >> yeah. i think that what i thought i heard dr. fauci said was even if you have had covid, you should get a vaccine because your immunity that having had covid gives you is not that long lasting. that's what i thought he was saying. not that the vaccine -- you can still get reinfected. the bottom line the vaccines work. they prevent serious illness and death. the number of people who have been ho

let's bring in an epidemiologist, associate professor at the johns hopkins bloomberg school of public health. doctor, thanks for being with us. let's start with dr. fauci, who says that it is going to get worse before it gets better. so, what do you expect the apex of this surge to look like, and when do you expect we'll hit it? >> so, i think dr. fauci's right. we are going to see things get worse before they get better. we're seeing cases double every 10 or 11 days right now. if other countries are a fore warning of where we're going to be, probably we're going to see the peak of this two, three, four weeks from now. but we're in for a bit of a ride before we get there. >> so, as we see the peak of this, i understand that, of course, we're seeing younger people who are being hospitalized with covid, so does this peak that we'll hit in a few weeks, how does it compare to the peak we saw last fall and winter? >> yeah, so, i think that we very well could see as many cases as we saw back in the winter, but as you say, since the people who are at highest risk also happen to have higher r
