watts, thank you so much for being with us this evening.t is easy to get lost in all the numbers and cases. what do things look like for you right now as a doctor working every day in the hospital? >> thank you. we're in crisis here in northeast ohio. i think the health systems, together, said it best this weekend. when we took out a joint ad with all hospitals in our region and it said one word, it said help. it said help because our hospitals are filled with patients with covid and we're struggling. >> the national guard is being sent in to help. what will they be doing? >> we're very grateful to the state and governor for offering up the national guard as a resource. they will be coming into our cleveland area to help offer access for testing. right now, because we have so many covid cases, there isn't a rapid test to be found. and the pcr tests that are offered generally at testing sites, the wait period is approximately seven days. so the national guard will be helping us by setting up the testing site. i do want to acknowledge we are

watts. that ad said help and described the situation you're facing. on in your hospitals. >> i think help says it all. we have never seen in the course of this pandemic this many patients. the had the privilege today as i usually do this week of christmas to be in the hospital caring for patients. the bulk of the patients i saw today have covid. the bulk of the patients i saw today had covid and were unvaccinated. and that for all of us is heartbreaking. >> it's -- dr. gupta, you know, i'm sort of reaching my kind of peek fatigue mentally and i'm not even dealing with the doctor and what you guys are dealing with in real life. i know on the top of my head a half dozen people that got covid. they are vaccinated but got it in settings of mixed group with people that were not necessarily vaccinated. so the unvaccinated are spreading this thing and it's mutating, let's be frank, because of the unvaccinated. okay? i'm running out of ideas what to do if people are refusing to protect themselves and other people. there is stats out today that we're talking a

we discussed watts precedent, the ruling sets with our guest john gall to radio host on columnist. let's listen 1st to dr. dean exit a g p. this is we're talking about was 20 years ago and year 2001 i think it was. and around that sort of time we too would probably have been giving advice off. well, if your diet is rich and go to cast it, keep that up, keep doing it. you don't necessarily need to supplement. so again, it's really hard to judge what happened back in 2001, based on the standard that we have today. come, you really bring one, you can because it's up. but can you bring the case 20 years after so many poor to afford? i mean, this isn't for linda mind where somebody was given, you know, a tablet, it isn't that kind of situation. this scenario shows that you're going to take a much longer time in the future to very clearly document the advice we give. and more importantly, actually the advice that we don't give. so it's kind of a significant plan to put on time. one of the, the big challenges that often documentation. it's about how you're judged because of course, what i

we think even at around, as soon as gas prices cost 80 mega watt hours you should start to see industrialand. you need to demand steel, reduce gas consumption or switch to an alternative if there's availability. they did do that initially. but then prices have gone up soaring higher all around the world. so these plans have restarted again. europe needs more demand destruction because it's too high demand between consumers and a lot of people are working from home again and there's office heating and there's a lot of industrial heating. dani: i have to wonder if these prices don't cause demand destruction what does? >> you raise an important point. this has been my kind of test around the whole transition issue. it is a lot easier to reduce supply than reduce demand. in 1980, we used fossil fuels as a whole contributed 84% of total energy demand in the world. in 2020, that percentage was exactly the same at 84%. we haven't been able to reduce fossil fuel demand. fls more gas now andless coal but it's difficult to change consumer behavior, especially when the alternatives are not necessari

nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> nick, thank you very much for that.oining me now is an epidemiologist and cnn medical analyst. doctor, good to see you. thank you so much for helping us out with this story. you're saying that omicron is the most transmissible virus ever? that is a scary thing to hear. it's quite a statement, but what will it mean for us in real-life terms? what does that mean? >> thank you for having me, don. it's very nice to see you again. sorry it's under these circumstances. >> yeah. >> first of all, let's start off with the fact that we're already in the middle of a delta winter surge. so even if there wasn't omicron, we would be facing higher case counts, higher hospitalizations. but omicron, remember, it's that variant that sort of appeared almost out of whole cloth around thanksgiving with 50 mutations simultaneously, 30 of them in the spike area and half of those in the business end of the spike. so it's a new virus, but it's spreading like we've never seen anything spread before. it's a multiple more infectious than delta. as

nick watt, we'll be keep an eye on all of that.nk you. >>> joining us to help sort through some of this confusion, is dr. shatner. always great to see you. we need help understanding what to do about omicron, which is fast becoming so if omicron is much more transmissible, is less severe than previous variants, at the moment, we think, what does that mean for christmas? should we? can we be get together with our vaccinated loved ones? or do you not recommend that? >> alisyn, i would recommend we hang our stockings with care. i think we have to be careful. if we're all going to get together, we should all be vaccinated, and prefer referenceally boosted. we should wear or masks if we're uncertain, and another thing we can do is we could all get tested the morning of our getting together. we did that at our house over thanksgiving, because we had a member who had a very serious condition that put them at risk of very severe disease, should they get infected. we have all negative. it worked out just fine. >> that's a little easier said

we get more from cnn's nick watt. >> reporter: the question is when, not if the omicron variant reaches the united states. could already be here. among the first to study omicron, this guy. >> it looks like a problem, but we don't know to what extent it's going to be a problem. i wouldn't at this point say that this is hugely different from stuff we've seen before. >> i think we'll get information on transmission and severity in the coming week or two. i do think it will take some time for us to get a better understanding on the impact of vaccines. our estimate is two to four weeks. >> reporter: here's what we already know about omicron's mutations. >> these mutations have been associated with increased transmissibility and immune-ivation. >> reporter: will it work as well against the delta variant? moderna's c.e.o. told the financial times, if omicron does, indeed, diminish protection from vaccines -- >> boosters should reduce dramatically the gap. >> reporter: this variant was first detected in southern africa, now dominant down there. >> what we are presenting to primary health care

nick watt, cnn, los angeles. >> of course vaccinations are key as we head into the holiday. spoke earlier with a member of the u.s. food and drug administration's vaccine advisory committee, and he explained how boosters and even initial doses are critical to controlling the spread. have a listen. >> the cdc estimated today that the doubling time was about two days, which is much faster than the delta variant in terms of transmissibility. so you're therefore much more likely to be infected. the best thing you can do is to vaccinate yourself. i know we talk about giving a third dose, but the most important thing is to get those first two doses. i just came off of being on service for a week at children's hospital of philadelphia, and we saw a number of children, more than i've seen consistent with the national afternoon, and what all those children had in common even though most were over 5, many were over 12, none of them were vaccinated. none of their family members. no one was vaccinated. we talk about boosting, but we need to make sure even if you get two doses of an mrna

they, like us, have a vaccine hesitancy issue. >> nick watt, thanks.respondent dr. sanjay gupta. thanks for joining us. always a treat to have you in studio. let's play a key moment in your conversation with cdc director dr. rochelle walensky. you asked her if she was worried omicron could become the dominant strain here in the u.s. here's what she said. >> it might. we don't yet know. what we do know is that early data and even mutation data are telling us that this may well be a more transmissible variant than delta. and so this is going to take some time to sort out. we are prepared, though. we are doing genomic sequencing in all these states. >> what did you make of that? >> we are doing a lot more genoming sequencing but most of these variants are typically found in other places first. a large part of that is we're still not doing enough overall testing. pcr tests. >> in the united states. >> in the united states. a million to a million and a half a day. at one point we were talking about 20 or 30 million a day. maybe we'll get to that point. dr.

cnn's nick watt has the latest from los angeles. >> reporter: omicron is in the united states. he was fully vaccinated and boosted. >> so far, i am reassured that this will be just a mild illness if any illness at all for those of us that are fully vaccinated. but there are a lot of people in the u.s. who are unvaccinated, and our hospitals cannot take that kind of surge again. >> reporter: and it appears is this variant does spread faster. >> early mutation data are telling us this may well be a more transmissible variant than delta. >> we do think it is quite infectious, quite transmissible because south africa has been reporting a very rapid increase in the number of cases. in fact, they've been doubling every day. >> reporter: still unclear if it partially evades vaccines, but -- >> the other thing that's becoming clearer is that people who were infected with other versions of the sars-cov-2 virus can be reinfected with this one. >> reporter: new travel restrictions kick in 12:01 a.m. monday. everyone coming into the u.s. will have to test negative within 24 hours of depart

. >> let's bring in nick watt who is following the story. this is sad.xperienced some controversy so tell us how we got here. >> well, listen, alisyn, this horse was a young much loved extraordinary race horse. first race was just last year. ten starts in all. more than three and a half million dollars in earnings, one half of the races he ever entered, including the kentucky derby earlier this spring and that is where the controversy that you mentioned kicks in. after the race, medina spirit tested positive for something called beta metha zone. bob baffert, a huge figure in horse racing in this country, nearly 50-year career, super suave and very successful, he said this was just in a skin ointment that they we were putting on the horse and it was not injected and i texted with his lawyer who said last week an independent analyst proves that they were right, they were not breaking the rules. but the kentucky horse racing commission said that their investigation they tell me is still ongoing. so there is still a small cloud hanging over this race horse.
