let's continue the conversation with michael mena from harvard school of health. the question is where are we, you hear phizer, moderna, what elizabeth laid out, every american here and around the world could be watching. for many people it is months down the line. dr. michael osterholm describes it this way. >> we are in a dangerous period, most dangerous public health period since 1918. if we don't basically take important steps, stop swapping air with neighbors, friends, colleagues, we're going to see numbers grow substantially. >> describe how you see the challenge ahead in the sense that we are in a transition to a vaccine, but at a time of high crisis. >> i think that it's actually too early to say really in the transition to vaccine. that's giving too much credit in terms of when most people will get access, especially at a global level. we are in the united states in a terrible position now. i would say we are practically in one of the worst case positions that we warned about many, many months ago, and we're seeing exponential increases of the virus acros

michael mena is one of the co-authors of that study.chain school of public health. wrote the article for thyime, h we can stop the spread of covid-19 by christmas. great idea. i'm all in. take my money. how do we stop the spread by christmas? >> well, the idea is to give people knowledge about their status, to let them know if this -- if they have this virus inside of them and if they are at risk of spreading it to others. and the way that we can do that is with little tests like this. this is a coronavirus test. it's a paper strip antiagagen t. it can be produced in millions. we can get them out to households so people can test themselves frequently, twice a week, across the u.s. >> what i've read in your "time" piece is these are prototypes that are not yet on the market, am i right about that? >> well, they're not on the market in the united states because of a lot of regulatory hurdles, but much of the world is now gaining increasing access to these tests. if the u.s. government wanted to treat this virus like the war that i think t

san francisco supervisor rafael mendel mena stopped by to help. >> i love you have figured out a sociallyt food out to folks who need it for thanksgiving. happy to be happy with that. >> reporter: organizers say the need was greater than ever, as many people who were ill or elderly could not celebrate with loved ones because of the risk of getting the virus. they distributed 4800 meals, about 800 more than they usually serve. >> in past years, we have done about 4000 meals. because of the need any adjustments of people not being able to go out for traditional thanksgiving meals, the need for us providing these meals has increased. we are excited to have community members, and help us in delivering, not only a meal, but some thanksgiving sure to people. >> reporter: elissa harrington, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> in sonoma, the usual fancy sitdown meal at the sonoma community center was changed today to drive through meal services. meals were prepackaged and sized is either dinner for two or for families of four. as usual, they were made with fresh, locally grown ingredients from paul's produce, s

you have mena, iowa, north carolina, these are very, very competitive races. in fact let's start in north carolina because i know that's one of your favorite ones. you have republican tom tillis, east the incumbent and you have cal cunningham. they both have their issue. thom tillis had covid-19 and was sidelined and cunningham had that extramarital affair but they've both been working hard on the campaign trail. actually it's the costliest u.s. senate race in history, $250 million. one of the recent polls we were watching showed that cunningham is in the lead by three points at least for right now. we are also watching south carolina because incumbent lindsey graham, some folks are saying he's not necessarily a slam-dunk to win here. he has shown some thought malleability. and harrison is attacking him for being an attack dog for president trump, one of the dash it's a little bit older poll that we are watching shows neck and neck, the numbers are really wide across the board but this one could be quite contentious as well. finally i have my eye on arizona, y

it's very important for people, particularly people who are 65 and over to take influenza mena's a shunse vaccines every year and the vaccine is a covered medicare benefit. there is absolutely no way you would get the flu from the flu shot. >> based on what i know and what i have been observing with this 2009 h1n1 virus and based on what i know about influenza vaccines, the risk of getting influenza are having a complication from influenza is much higher than any theoretical risk from the vaccines. it's important for people to know that not getting vaccinated also puts you at risk. hundred million people get influenza vaccines every year in the united states. they have a strong safety track record and the 2009 h1n1 influenza vaccines are being made exactly the same way that the seasonal flu vaccines are made. >> a long term goal for scientists working on flu vaccines is to develop a vaccine that would protect against all seasonal and pandemic influenza. >> we generally referred to that as a universal influenza vaccine and i think there is a real possibility to that, i don't think it's go

i guess the thing that scares me the most is that media has become so divisive, divisive mena be the right word. so we are listening to things that are about who we are what we do. you're less willing to listen or read about things that may help us change our minds. i think that is working against us quite a bit. sue and i just went up for if there any other audience questions? and if not i will have one last question that will wrap us up pretty nicely. okay. i will go ahead with my questio question. which is what you understand now about journalism? about black life in america and life as a black journalist now that you wish you would have known at the beginning of your career. >> guest: wow. well, for me personally coming out of the jim crow south i wish i would have been more confident, self-confident. because i know now that my skills are very good but my social skills were not good for that as a result of growing up in a community of people who look like me. that was pretty much by design because of the time we were in. i wish i would have become more multicultural. i wish i wou

and it's also men is the director of mena rights group.the issue with the tournament is that players and, organizers are actively participating to a p.r., sports, washing eggs or sides by the authorities. so obviously these golf tournament is not the 1st and will not be the last for its event being held in the country. but what makes it somewhat special is that it's a woman's only event, and at this stage it's no longer a secret. then saudi woman are considered 2nd class citizens. it is no longer a secret. that 5 women's rights defenders are currently in prison for demanding gender equality. and so it's quite hypocritical to have a woman's only event in the cure and context. the moto of the ladies' golf tournament is ladies 1st. and really in a country where ladies do not come 1st, it is a quite hypocritical way to present this event. i think it's also quite well known that a lot of these sports event also involve a lot of money. and i know that in relation to previous like football caps and events and were held in saudi last year, it seem

result, but you have symptoms then they say you should follow up with a pcr test i talked with michael mena at harvard, really an expert on rapid testing and he said musk was doing this in a way that hechhe wasn't supposed to you don't retest with the same test over and over again, if you get a negative, but you think you might have covid, you should retest with another test, even a rapid test would give you better results than this. definitely sowing some confusion there about testing. >> but it's almost like he has the luxury of proving how wrong these tests can be but to their fairness, they did come out and respond to this and said they're aware of the tweet by elon musk and reaching out to learn more they said why the scientific community agrees no dyiiagnosti test is perfect, they stand behind the quality of their test this is happening in the real world all the time and it's driving people crazy i have a neighbor, after halloween, whose kid's friend got covid. so they said, okay, we're going to get our kid tested and make sure she gets tested with a pcr test no one else even knew wha

what's their future like in mena? no one has spoken to them. they don't know what's going to happen, where the children are going to go to school. it's really a lot of chaos and confusion. now, somewhere along this road, at some point in less than 5 hours, there's going to be a hard border between armenia and azerbaijan. ask anyone, they don't know what it means, will it be the russian peace keepers who had been deployed here? that will be at that order for the moment. well, as early forces show up, where the, where is the border in the 1st place. so certainly a lot of confusion and really a sense that this time armenia was defeated and badly sending a lot of confusion and uncertainty for the people there. hoda abdel-hamid in a thank you. and this thread to more head on this news hour, including a breakthrough to end libya's war. we have the latest on the final day of u.n. box topics. moldova faces, a choice between russia and europe as it heads into presidential elections. and in support of hamas racing is making its return in zimbabwe as a sp
