." >>> good evening, i'm meg oliver. tomorrow, the u.s. joins the european union imposing strict new travel restrictions in response to the new omicron variant. in addition to south africa, a host of other countries are included in the u.s. restrictions, affecting an estimated 122 scheduled flights between the u.s. and south africa in december. cbs's deborah padda leads off our coverage tonight from south africa. >> reporter: once again, a pandemic-weary world has been plunged into uncertainty following the discovery of a new variant by south african scientists, which could be more transmissible and vaccine resistant. one nation after another has shut its doors to countries across southern africa. the u.s. follows tomorrow, and israel has imposed the world's toughest restrictions to date. banning all travels for the next two weeks. >> now's the time to act fast, early, hard, and strong. >> reporter: but with omicron already circling the globe, public health experts say border closures don't help. there is bitter anger here over the hasty t

we will see meg later on with the ceo of adagio therapeutic.hat stock is up >>> making a comeback following friday's sell-off, today's market action suggests last week's action was a knee-jerk reaction john, great to see you >> great to see you, melissa >> what do you think friday was all about. do you think today's market reaction is where the market should be? >> yes, to us friday was about low-volume trading and a new headline, and the new headline was not favorable. you have been reporting on it this morning those are the two things that caught our attention on friday most of the people in the states were out and a bad headline. >> so where are we in terms of where we go with the markets toward the end of the year with the sort of cloud hanging over the markets from omicron there's a lot we don't know and there's a lot we will learn over the next few weeks in terms of the efficacy of the current vaccine, the efficacy of the drugs in the pipeline that could possibly treat it? >> totally safety is first, so that's number one then as everyone

tirrell for the latest details hi, meg. >> hey, tyler. the latest is that we have not yet detected omicron here in the united states according to the cdc, although many experts believe it is probably here and we just haven't found it or seen it yet over the weekend, though, learn being a dozen countries in addition to the countries in south africa reporting cases of omicron. you can see them here in the yellow our neighbor in canada one of the latest to report some cases. the new york governor warning, that's not very far away from new york, and already having declared a state of emergency because of the transmission this state is already having. a lot of worries about the state that the country is already in but a lot of questions about omicron itself the world health organization yesterday providing an update saying it is not known whether the virus is more transmissible, whether it is outcompeting delta or if there is just a surge going on for another reason there. they do see increasing hospitalizations in that country but the w.h.o.

. >> though it's important, jim rgets to point out, and we'll hear from meg tirrell shortly, there's very little we know. there's always concerns about its ability to evade vaccines on there's a higher rate of transmissibility with this virus versus the delta, but we don't have the answers at all. >> no. the one thing i do trust, the scientists if pfizer says they can do something -- we'll hear in moderna today, then i'm confident we'll be able to -- and work -- certainly not -- i just think that the scientists are the people i trust if the scientists tell me they think they can get something, i'm going to be with them. i was reading dr. toepel, he said this is moving fast, we don't know a lot about it, and we hope for the best when i read that, i think, is that the clarion call to buy the stock of a -- company? no i can understand why pfizer shares would certainly go up, but i'm reluctant to say this is the time to buy a retailer or a cruise ship company. there will be people who are much more risk-averse than you and i, and refuse to believe the scientists can get this under contro

meg, thank you very much.ht, forecasters are tracking storms that could mess up holiday travel all across the northeast and pacific northwest. so let's get the forecast now from cbs' lonnie quinn. lonnie, good evening. >> reporter: hey, good evening to you, tony. good evening, everybody. all right, there are two systems right now in the country. let me show you the radar picture. we have one in new england, one in the pacific northwest. i want to start off with that system in new england because right now, we have some snow falling, anywhere from portions of connecticut all the way up into canada. this is going to wrap up say probably early tomorrow. it is not going to be a huge accumulator, unless you go to the higher elevated spots, like the mountains of vermont could see 6-12 inches of snow. the future cast shows another system, a clipper dropping in to detroit. by sunday the snow is stretched from detroit all the way out ino portions of new york, and by sunday night, into early monday, it intensifies a bit

, thanks meg terrell. what we have been talking about led to significant selloff in the market despite as meg told us, we know so little as yet about the variant. mike santoli, it is as though investors hit the covid trade button when you see a day like today. >> absolutely, david it is not a lot of nuance in the market, you don't necessarily have to comb, squint, see what the themes are themes are those groups that were benefitting in recent weeks from the expectation that the global economy was reaccelerating, higher bond yields and interest rates coming, banks were strong going into this as well as energy. so i do think it makes sense the will to sell and to perhaps get out of the way of a threat is always stronger than the courage to step in the way of that impulse on a short term basis. we are seeing the market under kind of a steady beat of pressure going through the day so far only been an hour and a half, but there were some s&p 500 areas that didn't really quite hold up to the initial buying impul

tirrell meg, over to you. >> dom, thank. george, it is nice to see you. thank you for joining us today on news this billion dollars worth of contracts with the u.s. government dom mentioned the stock move over the last two months i think what a lot of investors are wondering about the antibody drugs now is as the anti-viral pills are working their way through the fda what role do your drugs play, the antibody drugs, when we have easier to take pills for covid >> that's a great question i think the important thing to remember is we had good data last week on an intramusk collar application. we did a clinical trial comparing a im single inject versus the iv administration of the antibodies patients will have a choice between getting a single treatment injection of an antibody or taking pills for some days. so the pills are a great addition, great for the world. i think pfizer did a wonderful thing allowing manufacturers to supply them to the developing world. but the antibodies are safe, they are highly effective. they are a o

if it holds up >> and meg -- >> it's huge in this trial -- go ahead, andrew. >> no, no. just going to note in the trial they only included people who were unvaccinated so it'll be interesting to see the regulatory pathway for this, whether it's just high risk people in general, vaccination status doesn't matter. they are including a trial of vaccinated people. so a lot more data is coming, but very exciting initial results. >> that's the -- i was going to ask about the manufacturing side. >> moving merck seems crazy. it's key truda, they have this stuff. maybe it's a knee jerk reaction but was this drug that important to this pharmaceutical company the one that was okayed in the uk it's hard to imagine going down 5% on that, but i guess it ran up on prospects for it, too, meg? >> i think you're right. i think the ideas of sort of continuing revenue stream from this, depending on how long people need drugs like this. but these initial reactions aren't always completely rational andrew, in terms of manufacturing, they have been manufacturing at risk already. you i believe

that's meg trill. >>> gottlieb was also on this morning saying we would probably get our arms around the epidemiology sometime this week. >> right. >> how are we supposed to trade during that time >> there is a cadence. i think the cadence is, we discover someone brought it here after what happened in the netherlands. it is hard to believe that we don't. then we get a big selloff. then you are going to get news this is something we are going to be able to teal with. it is not going to be march of 2020 when it's not, we are going to go -- look, i am not a huge fan of the cruise ships but take royal or for region. royal is down 20 from when they did that giant secondary you have to say to yourself, you maybe bite the bullet and buy some norwegian which has -- i don't think you are going the hear about massive cancellations. >> you don't. >> no, i don't. >> all those stocks were down as we pointed out many times on friday it was a shortened session typically perhaps a lack of liquidity on a di like that after thanksgiving when few people are at work or at home working. >> you were at wo

meg, thanks for now. we appreciate it meg tirrell.'s turn to how the airlines are preparing for what is sure to be busier but also costlier and riskier travel season. cnbc airline reporter leslie is here with the story. leslie, it would be a simple way if it was just covid receding but how will they handle the surge. now they have a surge and covid strikes, all of the problems with labor shortages it sounds like a mess. >> it is a mix and good and bad news what we saw with the tsa screening at airports on sunday, we've recovered 90% of the ground compared with 2019. that's remarkable. we weren't seeing any numbers near that a year ago at the same time it is costing airlines more to fly those passengers, fuel along with labor costs are one of the biggest expenses that's an issue for them that's going to be weighing on their bottom line. we've heard warning like that from dealta airlines, recently from frontier. they're trying to balance that out. the good news is things are going in the right direction in terms of bookings. the booking

tirrell covers health and science for us meg, do we know if we're coming for another winter spike herencern among some experts that the waves we're seeing across europe could be a sign of what's to come heading into the winter for the u.s. while the number of european countries are seeing surges, the worst death rates are in eastern europe where the vaccination rates are lowest countries like romania and ukraine. w.h.o.'s regional director pointing to waning vaccination rates and a relaxation rate of public health measures as reasons of surges. there's optimism that we're close to the end and dr. scott gottleib said january is a time we could be emerging from the worst. it's likely to get worse before it gets better as the u.s. works its way through the delta wave while cases have plateaued nationally at just more than 70,000 per day, what that doesn't show is more localized surges and summaries the hot spot in late summer, states have some of the country's lowest transmission rates. the cdc data shows almost 70% of counties in the u.s. still have high levels of transmission. another 1

they're affecting everybody. >> and meg joins us now. good time to ask how are covid cases among children right now? >> norah, when covid first entered the u.s., only 3% of weekly cases occurred in children. that number is now closer to 25%. and as far as vaccinating kids younger than 5, pfizer expects to have its initial data from their studies before the end of the year, norah. >> some really interesting numbers. meg oliver, thank you. there is a lot more news ahead >>> well, it was record day on wall street. the big three, the dow, s&p 500 and nasdaq all hit record highs fueled by a surge in tesla shares and big gains for the energy sector. the dow was up 139 points, closing above the 36,000 mark for the first time ever. >>> well, tonight isis is claiming responsibility for the deadly bombing of a military hospital today in kabul. at least 25 people were killed and more than 50 wounded. isis is a rival of the taliban and has stepped up attacks since the taliban took control of the country in august. >>> all right. we are staying on to

meg, happy thanksgiving of sorts. post a day later i know you've been working it. tell us what you know and what are you thinking >> well, it's very, very early days for the variant the good news is they identified it really early and they're sending up the flag so people are aware of this. in one sense the w.h.o. pointing out this is showing the surveillance system is working really well. so south african researchers held a press conference yesterday and explained what's concerning about this. they identified an unusual constellation of mutations in the variant. it's potentially going to get a greek letter name today from the w.h.o. and what's concerning about that is that there are more than 30 mutations in the spike protein, and some of those are known to be associated with the potential for increased transmissability and potential to evade our immunity from vaccines or natural immunity or potentially could get around our anti-body drugs. all of this needing to be further research erred and the w.h.o. saying we lea

first our health and science correspondent, meg tirrell meg, when could americans get this pill? >> hey, shep potentially as soon as january if the fda goes by a similar timeline as it did for merck's pill which it's set to review at the end of this month. those results came in about a month before pfizer's. with the new findings today we're set to potentially have two new options to treat covid at home early in the course of the disease. both merck and pfizer's drugs prevented all deaths and while merck's reduced the risk of hospitalization and death by 50% overall, pfizer's lowered the risk by 89%. >> this is a fantastic demonstration of the power of science. i think this medicine will change the way things are happening right now. >> now, pfizer is scaling up manufacturing and expects to produce 50 million treatment courses next year. it's ceo tells us the company is in discussions with 90 governments around the world and the pricing structure could be similar to merck's drug. pfizer says it plans to charge lower income countries less. so what does this mean for the vaccine? i
