redfield, was on our air today saying that it is these private gatherings in private homes where the spread really happened. not really necessarily out in public. that family decided to use their families mistake as a teaching moment. they said that we let our guard down, 12 people walked away from a private dinner on november 1st with coronavirus. a serious situation. so knowing that, what is your message to the people of your state? >> so my message is social distance. wear a mask. wear a mask out of respect other people and to protect yourself, but i'm not -- i'm going to give you all the facts, i'm going to give you all the information. i'm going to let you make that decision as an adult for yourself and your family. i believe that the overwhelming majority of people know the risk and they know their rights. and so in texas, we believe giving you the information -- and again, i recommend being careful, being careful, making that decision, maybe you're gatherings aren't as big as they are in the past. they be they are smaller. that's her decision, but these are your rights and i'm

the white house literally installed a new chief of staff in redfield's office.installed a new cdc chief of staff, who is a person with no background in public health or medicine at all. as the associated press put it delicately, she, quote, seemed a particularly strange fit for the nation's top public health agency in that before the white house installed her as cdc chief of staff, her previous job was working as a publicist and talent booker for the cartoon network. that's who they installed as cdc chief of staff to keep an eye on that cdc director. so, no, the cdc director was not in this press briefing today. but maybe that's for the best. the cdc did actually make recommendations to the public that were very clear. the cdc spoke on a matter of public concern and put scientists on the phone with reporters, and they took questions, and that's good. that's how things are supposed to run. i know i always say watch what they do, not what they say. in this case, with the cdc, it is worth watching both what they say and what they do because the fact that they did t

redfield didn't opine directly on new york city and i'm telling you that they -- i was surprised that off the website. >> martha: i don't know why they took it off the website you just heard it out of the directors mouth, he just said it today in reaction to what happened to new york because that is been a huge focus late lately. the teachers union sets the 3% threshold, when you hit that -- it's been established by the teachers union over the summer in order to reach an agreement to reopen was a 3% threshold. >> that was actually not true. the mayor's at the 3% threshold, what the teachers union did in new york city afterwards was to say these are the safeguards that we need and this is the testing we need. the good news story here which you and i agree arm is that when you have that testing and when you have those safeguards, we saw that in new york city the schools were basically safe. the issue now is the rate of increase that was happening from 0.5 to 3%. >> martha: even given that, all of these experts and scientists say that children are safer in school, it's worked across euro

redfield also said we'll start with nursing home residents.t's quite deadly covid-19 for nursing home residents and the vaccine will give you very transient symptoms. maybe a headache, maybe fever. maybe fatigue. maybe nothing at all. it only lasts about 24 hours and the reason is because the genetic material we're introducing with this vaccine, sandra, the body gets rid of it right away. first it signals the protein, make this protein, get the immune response and we get rid of the material and it doesn't impact us. it may make you uncomfortable for a day but keep you having way more uncomfortable symptoms of covid-19. >> sandra: a gallup poll. the dates of this poll was back october 19th to november 1 before the pfizer and moderna vaccine announcements happened but of those who said that they would get it if the fda approved it, it was 58%. those who would not 42%. i'll ask you if that number seems high or low on those who say that they would get it. it seems low to me because most people i know who are just -- they're over these shutdowns an

redfield had to say. dr.edfield: we should be making data-driven decisions when we talk about what we are doing for institutions or commercial closures. spring cdc didst not recommend school closures. nor did we recommend their closures today. back in the spring there was limited data. today there is extensive data that we have. we have gathered over the last two or three months. to confirm that k-12 schools can operate with face-to-face learning, and they can do it safely, and they can do it responsibly. the infections we have identified in schools, when they have been evaluated, were not acquired in schools. they were acquired in the community and households. fory our big threat transmission is not the public square. family gatherings, family gatherings where people become more comfortable, they remove their face mask and it is this silent epidemic that begins to transmit. inter-is not enter -- school transmission. the safest place children can be is school. oft: let's go back to some our social media follo

redfield, and others could actually start sitting down with members of the biden coronavirus advisory council and start plotting how to deal with this because thousands of americans are going to be dying in the next days and weeks. you know, jeremy, for most of his adult life, as all of us know, the president has shown a great affinity for television appearances, especially with friendly outlets. this week he's been silent. it's almost a week since he's been on television. the only thing we hear from him is when he tweets something. why is that? why aren't we seeing him? why isn't he speaking out publicly? >> yeah, wolf, today was the first time since last thursday that we have seen the president in public other than a couple of golf outings that the president did this past weekend. and part of the reason for that is it's not clear what the message would be that the president would deliver in public. we know the president has been active on twitter. and based on what i've heard from the conversations privately he's continuing to make clear that he doesn't want to concede this election

director robert redfield expects a vaccine to be rolled out by the end of the second week of decembersaying the vaccines would go first to nursing home residents, healthcare workers and those at higher risk. they are eyeing the length of quarantine, bringing the range down from seven to 10 days instead of 14. finally, now you to some sad news for us at "mornings with maria." and the whole fox business family. trail blazing economist and friend of the show ed lazere has died. this happened on monday, following a battle with pancreatic cancer. he was a senior fellow at the hoover institution at stanford inches thinstitute for economicy research. he worked at the white house. ed lazere, 72 years old, dagen. we're going to miss him. we met him several times and he was the sweetest guy. dagen: god speed, ed lazere. oh, how we hate cancer. investors eyeing markets. we have a slight loss on the dow futures but come on, the dow jones industrial average closing above 30,000 for the very first time, a major milestone, call it symbolic, doesn't matter. it's a big deal, the s&p 500 also closing i

redfield said? >> chris, i really need to see the plan. you described it.sting plan, no testing strategy. there wasn't a response strategy. there hasn't been a plan to scale up and manufacture ppe and n95 masks to protect our health care workers, so we're really concerned that maybe there are some gaps in the downstream distribution plan of the vaccine as well. i hope there's not, but we're ready to be able to take over that plan and augment it and make sure that every american gets the vaccine when they need to get the vaccine, and it's distributed in an equitable and efficient way. >> final question is just about the reality of now, right? the vaccine is a future thing and it makes all of us feel good to think about a day in which we will be vaccinated and not have to deal with this, but we had 2,000 deaths today and we still got -- that's, you know, there's a 22-day lag between cases and deaths. so we're staring down the barrel of unspeakable amount of pain and suffering and trauma. i mean, how are people on your task force talking about what that day on

i've heard robert redfield say this is the second most infectious virus he's ever come across.les, this is it. it's worse than ebola. it's extraordinary. and the measures we're taking now are stopping flu, but not covid. the same thing happened in south america. the measures they took stopped flu, but this is more infectious. unless stronger measures are taken, it's going to get worse. and the vaccine, tony fauci said, hold on, folks, the calvary is coming. but the wagon train will be burnt down before it gets there. >> and thanksgiving, that will result in even more hospitalizations, cases, deaths? >> the sad part is, it's going to be the people you love the most, you're going to put them at the highest risk. not only for travel, but when you're sitting in the same room with them. you're putting your family, those people you love, your closest friends, at risk. it's not a good idea, the cdc has said you shouldn't do it. i say you shouldn't do it. but you shouldn't do it. it's not safe, it's not sane. >> when i look anotht those thi and when i talk to people, they say, you know

nobody knows the name of the people underneath redfield who would have been the key communicators.his so-called path course. it is disappointing. we don't get to go back and change that but we still have a chance to wear masks. in fact, at healthdata.org they show a line if you have good mask wearing you save now over 100,000 deaths in the u.s. over the next six months. francine: that was bill gates speaking to john nichols. i have to say it is absolutely incredible how the different approach is between new york and london. in london everything is closed apart from school. that was very clearly what the prime minister wanted, to keep the schools open, close shops. even essential ones for a lot of time and you certainly close restaurant and bars. in new york it is a different triverpb thought that the mayor is going through. tom: no question about that. the pandemic move here is extraordinary. if someone like bill gates talking about it, what he has done is -- some people pick a disease and they do it. gates, granted he has a lot of money but gates has really taken on solveable prob

redfield gave. dr.today said masks are more important for vaccines for the rest of the year. the president of the united states is undermining faith and confidence in the need for masks. his challenger is delivering a clear message that everybody ought to be wearing masks and that one difference could save more than 100,000 lives before the end of this year and that is just one of the differences between two the candidates for president. >> hi, everyone. it is 5:00 in new york. i'm katy tur in for nicolle wallace nor the second hour of "deadline: white house." an end to the madness, that is what president-elect joe biden is signaling with the choice of ron klain as his chief of staff. a man with decades of experience in washington has a long history with joe biden. including servings a biden's chief of staff during the first years as vice president. and most recently as a senior adviser to the 2020 campaign.

robert redfield at the cdc was here yesterday on the daily briefing talking about the timing when the first vaccines could be administered. >> you don't want to be the last group to end up getting covid because the vaccine will begin to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week of december. initially in a hierarchal way, the nursing home residents, and then some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for poor outcome. but then it will continue through january and february and hopefully by march he will start to see a vaccine available for the general public. speed when you are a cheerful person i do usually have some optimism. do you take heart and what he said there? >> oh, yes. absolutely. remember what takes years to create, we are able to come up with a vaccine in a year's time. that's really a great step in the right direction towards human herd immunity, but i we still have a long way to go. we have over 300 million americans that need to be vaccinated. this will definitely help towards herd immunity and ultimately it will save lives this va

robert redfield from the cdc said on the daily briefing that could be the first jazz, the second weekmediately though, starting to see it already, there will be a lot of controversy how the government and i'm not saying anything negative about trump or biden but the government to figure out who will get it first and nobody will be happy. >> greg: it will be talk show hosts. it is the important people. >> dana: and then we can sit closer together. >> greg: just to piggyback, now we see th the trumps right articles because it no longer counts, right? well. >> jesse: foreign policy article for usa today. >> dana: don't make >> greg: or he really did a good job and they would suppress all that stuff until now which is disgusting. i'm done too. >> kennedy: 19 minutes left for you. >> dagen: i will wrap up my thing. i would rather see divorce announcements rather than wedding announcements. that would be so much more to read, just dirt lay it all out there. who was he running around on? the fastest seven is up next. ♪ research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you

redfiere redfield seating next to pence. especially pence has been part of the spread of this virus, i mean people around pence. again it would be funny if it was not so deadly serious. >> yeah, i have a hard time understanding this. this is going to be one of the great mysteries when we look back on this of the whole thing of the masks and those pictures. this is becoming politicized. now you are in a room full of people, d people, doctors and scientists all wearing masks. we understand being in-door settings with this virus and he's ahead of the coronavirus task force. >> we all know how efficient their testing have been. they have been lying about that from the beginning. >> it makes no sense. he's the person who went to the mayor's clinic and to a covid war and did not wear a mask and apologized for that saying he should have done it. it feels like this lesson has not been learned by this future ca force. >> they are leaving. dr. freidman. they can do a whole a lot of damage and people's lives are hanging at the balance.

robert redfield says the first doses could go to nursing homes as soon as next month. and president joe biden says he will work with the white house to make sure the distribution process is teamless. yes, help is on the way, but help is not here yet. right now the best help you can get and give is by staying home and staying safe. let us start in delaware with nbc news political reporter. we're expecting joe biden pretty soon. walk us through what is going on here. >> the focus on the reality that is happening r if so many americans right now. especially if they're listening to the guidance that you just mentioned that those small gatherings at homes, seeing family that are normal for thanksgiving are not the best thing to be doing this year. booid listen speak to that moment and assure americans that despite the fatigue, we will get through this. they expect them to reference that the death toll is rising, cases are rising in this country, and we have seen biden make the case that we need to tackle this coronavirus pan determine uk by getting a vaccine out to american

redfield: we be making data-driven decisions while we talk about what we are doing for institutions orommercial closures. for example, as was mentioned, the cdc did not recommend school closures last spring. nor did we recommend closures today. i will say back in the spring it was limited data. today there is extensive data that we have we have gathered over the last two to three months that confirm k-12 schools can operate with face to face learning and they can do it safely and they can do it responsibly. the infections we have identified in schools when they have been evaluated were not acquired in schools. they were actually acquired in the community and the household. today our big threat for transmission is not the public square. it is small family gatherings. family gatherings were people become more comfortable. they remove their face masks when they get together. it is a silent epidemic that begins to transmit. it is not interschool transmission. the kids k-12, one of the safest places they can be from our perspective is to remain in school. host: michael and danville, illinoi

alicia: food insecurity is another issue, i would like to play something that doctor robert redfieldaid as the most recent white house covid presser. >> i'm here to say the data supports that k-12 schools as well as institutions of higher learning really are not where were having our challenges. it would be counterproductive from my point of view, public health point of view does contain an epidemic if there was an emotional response to say let's close the schools. alicia: are there those in your state who are hearing this message when it comes to the restrictions being placed because they're the ones implementing the guidelines and the rules. >> i think without individual counties that have had more of an emotional response as a director just stated. but by and large, we are working hard to create conditions that allow for as much local control as possible. i think this is the way to go, local officials, local leaders, local super contenders know what's best going on in their community and i would say what we've been doing in sharp contrast to what's going on in new york city where

redfield, and the others, because you guys got to be able to come up to speed quickly.e you had any serious conversations with your counterparts, the outgoing administration experts? >> it's a good question, wolf. we're still waiting for the opportunity to have those conversations. i know there's a process that's playing out, that the current administration and the incoming administration, you know, are working out. but there's a lot of work we can do and are doing right now to develop the kind of plans that a biden administration would need in order to address the pandemic. and i'll tell you what they really center around. they center around the goals of stopping the spread of the virus, reopening safely, and of protecting the hardest-hit populations all with the mind toward rebuilding public trust. and there are a number of components in these buckets that we have been working on that include expanding testing capacity and producing more protective equipment so that we can ensure our nurses and doctors don't run out of masks. we have plans that we're building to incre
