we will bring on mike lillis, a reporter with the hill newspaper. guest: thanks for having me. host: tell us what the status is of the house and senate leader'' efforts to reach agreement on a funding bill? the congresshrew -- they do this year after year after year. congress was supposed to pass a short-term funding bill yesterday, known as a continuing resolution. you will hear that term a lot. a two day extension of government funding that would have prevented a shut down -- that prevented a shut down but would have happened at midnight last night. they have said they were close most of the last week, so we are not really sure what that means at this point. a lot of agreement has been made, but there is also a number of outstanding issues. today, theapitol be joined by house leaders who will ira not the final details. then the half to get the , which is anext arduous undertaking, because it is $2 trillion here, then they have to pass it through the senate and house. or we will have another shut down monday morning. has been that has to wait and see. -- everybody has to wait

so these are the same drugs used to treat president trump, regeneron and eli lilly. the key worry was there wouldn't be enough supply of them from everybody who could benefit. i learned today from dr. moncef slaoui, it's actually the opposite problem states are having trouble using these drugs. the government is shipping about 65,000 doses per week and only 5% to 20% are getting administered he tells me that's because of a few challenges these drugs have to be given early, within a few days of diagnosis, before people might feel sick, and they're administered by iv infusion. but he says the medicines could cut hospitalizations by half, so he hopes those challenges can be overcome shep. >> meg, we all do, thank you the health and human services secretary, alex azar, is with us now. mr. secretary, thanks for being here. >> glad to be here, shep thanks for having me. >> you heard meg's reporting on antibody treatments and how they're not being used those can be life-savers, why aren't they being used >> yeah, shep, her reporting was spot on. we have a surplus of these m

i heard from eli lilly they say their drug, bamlanivimab should be effective against the strain and lab work is under way to confirm that reassuring news from those two companies. i'm waiting to hear back from moderna and pfizer but the word i'm getting from experts in this case is reassuring as well vaccine are expect to protect against this strain. >> you said something very interesting in there so there is a new variant or a new strain of this virus and either it may be more transmissible or it may be human behavior that is miaking it appear to be more transmissible. did i understand that right? >> yeah, and it could be maybe some of both, tyler. people could be having covid fatigue and not taking as many precautions and it could be easier for this variant to spread we just don't have the science to bag it up it's based on modelling right now so we hope to get more clarity in the coming days and weeks. the big reminder about this is there are things we can do even before we get vaccinated to stop the spread and we have to do that >> thanks, meg rahel. >> and a stimulus deal finally a

regener regeneron, eli lilly, meant to act like your body's natural immune reaction to the virus.hey're meant for people infected but not sick enough to be hospitalized but at high risk for complication, people with underlying health conditions, type two diabetes, sickle cell disease, chronic kidney disease. here is the problem. demand is far exceeding the supply. i spoke with a physician in alabama who treats outpatient covid patients. he estimates he only has access of one -- those monochrome antibodies to treat 1% to 2% of his patients who need them. those patients could end up hospitalized, draining that system you talked about even further. >> you spoke to in your reporting to a doctor who said the way 2021 plays out really depends on what we do right now. what did he mean by that? >> these folks are saying, you know, they're very blunt, very clear. this is not going to resolve itself when the clock strikes midnight on january 1st. we may rip the last 2020 month off our calendar, but our 2020 problems will continue into 2021 at least over those first few months as the vaccine

"new york times" columnist michelle goldberg found a document that says washington was only given 108 doses of regeneron's monoclonal cocktail, and somehow giuliani qualified for one of them. and then carson got some of those cocktails, chris christie got one too. the president himself, of course, called it a cure, said he never felt better and promised every last senior in america would have same cure for free. >> and if you're in the hospital and feeling really bad, i think we're going to work it so that you get them and get them free, especially if you're a senior. you're going to get better. you're going to get better really fast. >> no, no, that didn't happen. 3,000 people died today. 3,000 people died yesterday. 3,000 people will die tomorrow. t
