On #CDC call, Henry Walke says CDC has identified two acceptable quarantine options: Quarantine can end after 10 days without test if no symptoms or 7 days after negative test result if no symptoms.

#CDC Henry Walke: If people travel, CDC recommends travelers should get tested one to three days before travel and then again three to five days after travel.

#COVID19 #pandemic
#CDC's John Brooks says CDC's change in quarantine guidelines was based on extensive modeling – not just by CDC but by other partners.
Some data published peer-reviewed websites. Will put this on CDC's website later today.

#COVID19 #pandemic
#CDC Friedman: The safest option is to postponing travel.
But should get tested before/after under CDC recommended guidelines.
But testing doesn't eliminate all risks.

#CDC official says heard news of UK $PFE $BNTX #COVID19 vaccine approval just like everybody else.
U.S. has process in place for approval & continuing

ICYMI: Health workers, nursing home residents should get COVID-19 vaccine first – panel spglobal.com/marketintellig…
#CDC officials reiterate safest option for Americans is to postpone travel over the holidays.

#COVID19 #pandemic
#CDC Walke says PCR or antigen test may be used for discontinuing #quarantine.
In our modeling, either test came out with about the same residual risks.
CDC recognizes testing is difficult in some locations.

Q about Fauci's surge on a surge.
#CDC's Walke: Obviously a concern. We've never really gone back down to baseline.
"Exponential" increases in fall. Now with #Thanksgiving, expect to see cases up 7 to 10 days afterwards.

#COVID19 #StayHome #MaskUp
Seems a bit late to be having these recommendations/press call the week after #Thanksgiving.

#COVID19 #StayHome #MaskUp
Walke says "happy" coming out with new travel/quarantine guidelines & testing now today before holiday season [um, so #Thanksgiving was last week. Did he miss it?].

#FDA's #VRBPAC doesn't meet until Dec. 10 on $PFE/ $BNTX & Dec. 17 for $MRNA/#NIH vaccines. Does Meadows think he can really push FDA to move the dates up sooner?
What is Meadows & Trump doing to ensure states have enough funding to actually distribute #COVID19 #vaccines?
Maybe Topol needs to ask his friend @SteveFDA if that meeting went so well yesterday & Hahn stood up for #FDA then, why is Meadows & Hahn doing it all over again today?

#COVID19 #vaccines
It was just last week when @SecAzar insisted the "proof was in the pudding" about Trump & pressuring #FDA.

So, two trips in two days to the White House for @SteveFDA.

What kind of pudding are they making at the White House @SecAzar?

#COVID19 #vaccines
#CDC received 75 requests for public comment at today's #ACIP meeting but had to limit to 10.
So Dr. Cohn urges people to submit written public comment to CDC docket.

Last week, @SecAzar said the "proof was in the pudding" about Trump's political pressure on #FDA .

Yes, yes it is.


Reminder: Trump said he wasn't aware of #coronavirus until late January. $MRNA /#NIH launched their R&D mid-Jan.

#COVID19 #vaccines $PFE
#WarpSpeed Slaoui today at #PostLive on any tensions between Trump/White House & #FDA: "I don't know."
"I wouldn't think there would be."

And later Slaoui distanced himself from Trump, saying he's more aligned with #BidenHarris administration.

#COVID19 #vaccines
And if the #pharma #biotech, pharmacy & distributor execs are "irritated at pressure from the White House to attend an event they perceive to be largely political," they certainly don't have to attend. So, will they anyway?

#WarpSpeed Slaoui says he just learned about @SteveFDA at White House today on #COVID19 #vaccines.
What we need is good science, good focus.
Says "don't know" of the tensions between FDA/White House.

#PostLive
#WarpSpeed Slaoui: #FDA should be doing a thorough job to ensure review of #COVID19 #vaccines are complete/scientifically driven.
Then #VRBPAC & come to appropriate decision.
Says nothing in his interactions that it was sped up or slowed down.
#PostLive
#WarpSpeed Slaoui: #FDA has always been on outside of this integrated coalition [Warp Speed]
Our interactions have been very few/from time to time sought advice on trial design or if placebo recipients should be immunized.

[Note @DrWoodcockFDA on Warp Speed]

#CDC has scheduled an emergency meeting of #ACIP for Dec. 1 to vote on which groups of Americans should receive the limited initial doses of the #COVID19 #vaccines once those products are cleared for the U.S. market.
On Dec. 1, #CDC's #ACIP is expected to vote on whether the 21 million U.S. healthcare personnel & 1.3 million residents of long-term care facilities should be first in line for the #COVID19 shots — phase 1a of the vaccination program.
If both the $PFE - $BNTX and $MRNA-NIAID #COVID19 #vaccines are granted EUAs in December, there are expected to be only enough doses by the end of 2020 to vaccinate about 20 million people in the U.S., with more doses not coming for the other 310 million Americans until later.

Today, Pres-elect @JoeBiden disclosed that while playing with his dog Major he slipped & twisted his ankle & seeing an orthopedist out of caution.

Versus

Nov. 2019, Trump made an unscheduled 2-hour trip to @WRBethesda & Americans still don't have the details about why.
Statement from Dr. Kevin O’Connor: "President-elect @JoeBiden sustained a sprain of his right foot. Initial X-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture and he will be getting an additional CT for more detailed imaging."

#BidenHarrisTransition
Statement from Dr. Kevin O’Connor: "Follow-up CT scan confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect @JoeBiden’s lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot. It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks."
