you what i'm concerned about, the seven-day moving average of hospitalizations, is something scott gottlieb was talking about yesterday. the hospitalization rate had been dropping since july but stopped dropping and there are some signs it might be increasing again. hospitalizations is just hard, brutal data, because when the hospitalizations go up it invariably means the deaths go up as well. so when you look at that, professor, what do you see? >> what i see is the first thing that's happened, once we start to loosen up over the summer and now that people are back in cities and back to work is you see that younger people are getting infected. they're relatively resistant to the more serious consequences of this infection, but then it moves into the older population, which is very sensitive. so that is exactly what everybody was predicting would happen, an increase in the numbers of young people, followed by an increase of numbers in older people, followed by more hospitalizations, followed by more death, and that is why the cdc and other agencies have rejected over 3,000 deaths by the end

former fda commissioner scott gottlieb says he expects the u.s.o experience "at least one more cycle of the virus in the fall and winter." more than 906 to 1000 people around the world have died from coronavirus. health officials say the u.k. is on course for 50,000 new coronavirus cases a day by mid-october if urgent measures aren't taken to prevent the spread of the disease. prime minister boris johnson is widely expected to set out for the restrictions tuesday, although health secretary matt hancock says the government wants to avoid a second national lockdown. the health secretary also says johnson has fully recovered from the virus, which put him in intensive care back in april. a slow-moving tropical storm bringeing -- will drenching rains to texas and louisiana. tropical storm beta could dump up to 20 inches of rain on some parts of the region, though it is no longer at expected to strengthen into a hurricane. 23rdis the atlantic's storm for 2020 so far, the second-most active season on record going back to the one -- on record, going back

scott gottlieb says here we go again. >> i think we have at least one more cycle with this virus headingand winter. there's an unmistakable spike in new infections. 15 states the positivity rate is 10% or higher. about 30 state where is the rate of transfer is above 1 and they have an expanding epidemic. >> how big of a spike is this? what can be done to minimize it if possible as we go into number one the high positivity rate and the new cases starting to mount and the seasonal changes which is more people indoors? >> and seasonal is the flu season heading into now. people need to get the flu vaccine to be sure to be protected against that virus. but dr. gottlieb makes this great point of so many other states seeing increases in positivity rates. because even though the national numbers are not great it can be misleading in that some states like north dakota, south dakota, virginia, west virginia, guam and puerto rico seeing a high spike and then you take that into a global context, too. you see what's happening in europe, you see what the world health organization is saying about daily

scott gottlieb. >> if you look at where we are heading into labor day relative to where we were heading be memorial day we have equivalent amount if not more infection heading into labor day and heading into the fall and the winter to expect a respiratory pathogen like a coronavirus to start spreading more aggressively than in the summertime. backdrop here is that people are exhausted so i think that people's willingness to comply with the simple things that we know can reduce spread will start to fray. >> walk through some of that. because i was reading the detailed analysis of the projection the other day and you factor in the baseline, memorial day 18,000 new infections a day and now 40,000 plus more infections a day, moren next out there in the country and then the conduct of people, the other surveys on mask use especially the middle part of the country and lo and behold those are the states where you see high positivity and more cases. >> very true. so unfortunately, john, what we see right now is when the cases go up, take, for example, arizona, people start wearing a mask and th

scott gottlieb that the greatest majority of americans not exposed yet it tells me the risks you're talkingut. listen. >> about 10% of americans have been exposed to this virus. the best modeling that i've seen suggests a higher rate of exposure suggest as high as 15% but most of the models project 10% so a lot of the country is susceptible to this virus, a lot of room for it to run. >> if there's a lot of room for it to run then our behavior, every individual's behavior really determines how well it runs, right? >> absolutely. we are not anywhere close to herd immunity. might be small pockets and probably pockets of the country driving that to 10% or 15%. and so we're kind of where we were and, you know, i'll appeal to the white house to start acting like leaders in this case and figure out how to get it under control in a real way because this isn't something to stop this week, we keep saying next month, a month away, and it is not. we are in this for the long haul and we need a plan. >> doctor, i wish we had a more positive conversation but gradef grateful for your insight. >>> how repub

david: should mention scott gottlieb is no big fan of president trump's. he has been highly critical on many issues involved with the covid virus but he is putting the blame on the bureaucracy, giving mixed messages about the covid virus in the beginning. do you think that is something that we'll hear from the president? >> well i think the bureaucracy, like a lot of government bureaucracies doesn't work perfectly but the whole premise of the woodward alleged scoop i think is really off target. this idea that president trump new it was deadly but was hiding it doesn't square with the history. obviously we were all learning more including public health officials but the woodward interview occurred a week after the president had announced the travel restrictions on china. obviously you don't think take that fairly extreme step if you don't think it's a deadly virus. there were reports out of china widely known about the deaths happening there. just before the woodward interview the president had been talking to xi xinping and the chinese were complaining tha

scott gottlieb. thank you for being with us.of oxford yesterday does to the timeline that many doctors and other health care officials have been given to be expecting a vaccine by early november? >> well, it could prompt regulators to take a closer look at the clinical trials, certainly the astrazeneca trial, but also the other ongoing trials. there are two large trials that are pretty far along, one with the pfizer vaccine, one with moderna's. i'll remind you, i'm on the board of pfizer, the company that's developing that vaccine. it's unclear if the side effect that was unmasked in this trial -- and "the new york times" is unmasked in this vaccine, a form of meningitis, if that's related to the vaccine. the other question, if they determine it's likely related to the vaccine itself, the other question, is it related to the vaccine constructs. you're using basically a virus, a chimpanzee adnovirus, a virus that causes a common cold in mopg monkeys. in this case the spike protein. the question is, is it the adno viral vector cau

former fda commissioner scott gottlieb says he expects the u.s.experience "at least one more cycle of the virus in the fall and winter." boosting the risk of military confrontation in the taiwan strait, hoping to deter taipei from continuing to deepen ties with the u.s. china is ratcheting up tensions in the taiwan strait, hoping to deter taipei from deeper ties with the u.s. in a series of exercises, china repeatedly breached the median line. separating the countries. try to regards the island as part of its territory even though it has been ruled separately for 70 years. says he willmp announce his picture a place supreme court justice ginsburg by the end of this week. he says he wants to see a senate confirmation vote before the november election. he says he will likely pick a woman. died -- [noburg audio] david: last week, it was arizona we looked at. this week, it is north carolina. to give us a sense of the politics of the state, we welcome professor michael bitzer, chair of politics at catawba college. give us your sense, a snapshot, of nor

former fda commissioner scott gottlieb told face the nation he does not expect widespread availabilityf any vaccine until 2021. >>> tiktok will join forces with oracle for its u.s. operations. news of the deal comes after microsoft announced the bid was rejected by bytedance. president trump threatened to band tiktok in the u.s. starting next week unless american operations were sold. >>> apple hose annual product reveal tomorrow but this year will not be business as usual. there will be no in-person audience at the campus and it is unclear if we will see an iphone. the tech giant is expected an apple watch, ipad and software. >> so the word is -- is off the shopping list. bemaking an tails. appearance in this would th ski and valentine's day too. the maker of the marshmallow candy said production was temporarily halted in april as the coronavirus ripple through the nation. limited production has resumed but i guess the rest of the year is off for peeps. >> it is off for peeps. no hate against the pizza lovers but it's not particularly my favorite. >> no peeps for peeps? >> no peeps fo

in the united states we are headed in the wrong direction and experts like scott gottlieb warn us about what that will mean for the fall. >> heading indoors with kids back in school, kids are back on college campuses, work is trying to restart people have become more complacent and tired of the restrictions, so all those conditions will set up a fall in the winter that will create a lot of risk. you certainly see the rise in infections right now we're taking a lot of infection to probably what is going to be the most dangerous season for this virus >> and, kelly, we're seeing evidence of that right here in the new york city area, mayor bill de blasio saying the positivity rate in new york city ticking up above 3% for the first time in months, the highest rate since june. the positivity rate still at 1.4%, and his threshold for considering closing schools is 3% on the 7-day average. hundreds of thousands of kids going back to school in the city today and indoor dining set to begin tomorrow, but the city is talking about potential targeted restrictions in certain areas seeing the worst ca

received a diagnosis of transverse myelitis that's sparked by viral infections this morning, scott gottliebuld last for days or possibly weeks but it could help other researcher. >> reporter: i wouldn't expect the other trials to be paused. i wouldn't be surprised, though, if the regulators asked the data safety monitoring board to look through the data that's been accrued so far to look at any indication that this side effect may be appearing in other clinical trials. suggestive of this kind of a side effect. >> joining me now is the chair of the viral are product leadership board denn dennis carroll how big of it is to have a vaccine trial to be forced to pause over a potential safety issue? >> first off, it's not unusual at all what we really take from the news that's come out is that we're seeing an excellent example of the checks and balances to ensure that trials of this magnitude, 50,000 people, there's enough close monitoring to be able to pick up any signal that there may be an adverse reaction to the vaccine itself, so pausing a trial at this point, it's not unusual, it's more com

the charts they watch is hospitalizations, the seven-day moving average of hospitalizations as scott gottliebused to run the fda, was talking about this yesterday. you can see that the daily hospitalization rate had been dropping since july, when things got bad again. but now it leveled off at best and it looks like, gottlieb is worried, dr. hotez, that it's beginning to rise again. and hospitalizations are a precursor for something much worse. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. and this again goes along with this concept of worsening severity of illness in the fall and winter months. so none of the trends are going in the right direction. you can argue, okay, it's not really going down as much, maybe it's just leveling off, but it's clearly starting to go up in some parts of the country. and that, with the predictions and everything we know about this virus says to us that we better be ready for the fall. and that's why i get very upset when you hear the comments from the governor of florida being very dismissive, saying, i'll never do this and never do that. we can't be in that kind of a pos

scott gottlieb, a former trump fda commissioner has a really good op ed in the wall street journal saying as much. the fact that this idea keeps coming up feels like laziness. you don't want to do the hard work of protecting american lives. so there is a strategy of let's just let it go and see where it goes. we know where it will go. >> you know, i can't help but think, adam, that there is -- obviously the president from the beginning denied the problem. he basically wanted the economy and the stock market to be good so he could be re-elected and basically has not cared one way or the other except in that sense. but also i cannot help but this sort of conception of people being expendable is related to what we know about where people have been most effective, where the lives have been lost in terms of disproportionate populations among african-american folks, indigenous populations, latino folks along the rio grande valley, the idea that expendability is related to who is getting hit hardest by the virus. >> when you look back in april when the demographic data first started coming out,

scott gottlieb has talked about this explicitly since march. others on the liberal side saying this is not bipartisan -- this is a bipartisan strategy that has been articulated since march and april. the white house keeps turning a blind eye on it adopting conspiracy theories, finding people who will tell them what they want to hear rather than what needs to be done. amy: gregg gonsalves, in a long series of tweets monday, you wrote -- "dr. atlas, a radiologist, has no training or expertise in infectious diseases, but what he does have are the words the president wants to hear -- you can let the virus spread widely throughout the u.s. if you just try to keep the elderly safe, open up everything and let 'er rip." talk about who scott atlas is and why he now has the ear of the president as dr. fauci is recovering from throat surgery, and what this means at a time, especially the asymptomatic issue -- for so long we've been told people must be tested can spreadmptomatics the covid-19. kids are gathering together all of the country to go to school.

on your point though about timing, the piece you wrote along with scott gottlieb was interesting in the the use of emergency, emergency use authorization. you wrote the fda can approve promising candidate for those most at risk while continuing to collect data. tell me how that works. how would that roll itself out and what should normal people know about the timing that emergency use authorization would be utilized. >> i think that is exactly what will happen, connell. the clinical trials underway for now for the first vaccines and this is happening at a record pace. very large clinical trials, large manufacturing of vaccines so we have a significant supply available when the trials are done and independent experts oversee steps taking place, will make it possible for some americans to start potentially being vaccinated as soon as late this year. we don't have enough vaccine supply for all americans. fda made it very clear that their intent is recommending proof and use of emergency authorization approach not for all americans but people are most important to vaccinate first to protect
