Fauci tells Murphy NJ is in ‘good shape,’ 'positioned well' for possible 2nd COVID wave

TRENTON, N.J. (WCBS 880) — The nation's top infectious disease expert had some good news for New Jersey.Dr. Anthony Fauci commended the state for its progress in the fight against the coronavirus during a 30-minute Facebook Live chat with Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday. While the state "suffered greatly" at the onset of the pandemic, Fauci said New Jersey is now in a better position as it faces the upcoming challenges of the fall and winter.Fauci said New Jersey is positioned "to continue to gradually, carefully, and prudently open your economy in a careful way at the same time to avoid the challenging difficulty of what happens when a lot of things go indoor versus outdoor."He told the governor that New Jersey should also be able to handle a possible second wave since its infection rate has fallen to around 1.1%."I think you're positioned well," Fauci said. "The reason you're in good shape is that your baseline is so low.... Right now if you continue to carefully and prudently open the economy, you can get through the fall and the winter," Fauci added. "Your baseline is so low that you are going to be at an advantage when the inevitable cases occur, and they will."New Jersey reported 588 new cases on Thursday. The nation is seeing around 40,000 new cases a day.Fauci told Murphy that some countries, including Argentina, Australia and South Africa, took the right precautions against COVID-19, which also set them up for success for the flu season."They found that because of that, not only did they decrease COVID they had practically a non-existent flu season, which means that if we do it right, we could have a double positive whammy. We can bring down the flu at the same time that we keep the country, and for you guys specifically, New Jersey, keep you at that very low baseline," Fauci said.Fauci said he doesn't think the nation will be able to get back to normal until vaccines are available to 100% of the country. He doesn't see that happening until the end of next year.Fauci reassures the public that a coronavirus vaccine is safe. He told Murphy that he goes on several podcasts and other mediums to stress safety without compromising scientific integrity."People keep plugging in saying I'm not so sure I trust it so we've gotta build the trust and outreach to the community that what we're doing is completely transparent so that they believe us when we say this is safe, this is effective," Fauci said. Fauci told Congress on Wednesday that there is growing optimism that one or more safe and effective vaccines will be available by the end of the year or early next year.He believes the U.S. could have enough doses by April."The total number of doses for everybody in the country to get vaccinated from all the different companies, there will be about 700 million doses in April, that means that theoretically you could vaccinate everybody then, but in reality, the logistics and practicality of people getting vaccinated likely won't be to the second or third or beginning of the fourth quarter of the year," Fauci said.The first people to get a vaccine will likely be health care providers and vulnerable people, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.Even with a vaccine, Fauci said there will still be a need for hand washing, mask wearing and social distancing."That is assuming that the vaccine is 100% protective and 100% of the people take the vaccine. That's not going to happen, so if we are I think lucky we'll get a vaccine that's 70% to 75% effective and we already know that a certain percentage of the population we still need to convince to get vaccinated so when a vaccine comes we look at it as an important tool to supplement the public health measures that we do it will allow us to more quickly and with less stringency get back to some degree of normal, but it is not going to eliminate the need to be prudent and careful with our public health measures," Fauci said.While Fauci would like to see 100% of the American population vaccinated by the end of the 2021 calendar, he said 75-80% would be a "good accomplishment."Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Lamont: Connecticut to enter Phase 3 of reopening in early October

HARTFORD, Conn. (WCBS 880) — Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont on Thursday announced the state will be moving into Phase 3 of its reopening in early October. Under Phase 3, restaurants, personal service shops – such as hair salons and barbershops – and libraries will be able to increase from 50% to 75% capacity indoors.Bars and nightclubs will remain closed throughout the third phase and Lamont did not clarify as to when they would open. The state will enter Phase 3 on Oct. 8 with outdoor event venues, such as amphitheaters and racetracks, being allowed to increase from 25% to 50% capacity, the governor announced.“The changes will increase capacities for certain businesses, including restaurants, personal services, libraries and performing arts venues, while ensuring safety protocols are still in effect,” Lamont said on Twitter.We are targeting Phase 3 of Connecticut's reopening efforts to begin on October 8.The changes will increase capacities for certain businesses, including restaurants, personal services, libraries and performing arts venues, while ensuring safety protocols are still in effect. pic.twitter.com/JWxRBIeIcx— Governor Ned Lamont (@GovNedLamont) September 24, 2020 Indoor commercial venues will also be allowed to welcome up to 100 people inside, or 50% capacity – whichever number is lower.According to Lamont, outdoor gatherings cannot exceed 150 people and indoor gatherings will remain capped at just 25 people.“The reason why we are able to have a discussion about even entering into Phase 3 is because of Connecticut residents’ collective actions to fight the spread of COVID-19,” Lamont said. “By taking the sector rules seriously, wearing masks, physically distancing, and washing your hands regularly, I believe that we can continue to keep these rates low while also easing some of the restrictions that were enacted earlier this year. I applaud the residents of our state for what they’ve been doing, and urge them to keep it up.”Graduations are still not permitted to be held indoors under Phase 3, but outdoor ceremonies can operate at 50% capacity with 6-foot spacing between individuals. Masks are also required.Religious gatherings held outside must adhere to the same rules as outdoor graduation ceremonies. However, religious gatherings can occur indoors with a 25% capacity limitation or just 100 people. The governor’s office reminded residents that these capacity increases are still subjected to COVID-19 safety requirements, meaning masks and social distancing will still be required.Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Street vendors call on NYC to remove cap on permits, end NYPD oversight

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — New York City’s street vendors say times are tough and the city is making it even more difficult to survive through the coronavirus pandemic.After no work and no income for several months, food vendor Nabil Boussbaa says he returned to his usual spot by the World Trade Center a few weeks ago. Though, instead of customers, he was greeted by the NYPD.“In the first week when I went back to work the police gave me a $500 fine, because I was standing a too close to the crosswalk,” he explains.Boussbaa says the fine cost him an entire week of income because of how much business has dropped during the pandemic. “The police treat us with a lot of disrespect. They never help us and they never treat us fairly,” he says.Meanwhile, some vendors who have been trying to get a permit from the city for years are still unable to do so because of the cap on the number of street vendors allowed in the five boroughs. Since the 1980s, there’s been just 4,000 street vending permits to go around.Boussbaa was among dozens of vendors who gathered in Manhattan on Thursday, demanding an overhaul by the city. They pushed for the City Council to approve a bill that would end NYPD oversight of vendors and lift the current cap on permits.Councilwoman Margaret Chin proposed the bill, which has generated support from many across the city.“Let's get this done so that they can continue to support their families,” Chin said.State Sen. Jessica Ramos is also a supporter of the bill.“We should be helping those who are investing in our economy, not hurting it. Especially when they’re doing honest, good and delicious work,” Ramos said.Advocates say the permits, with a $200 face value, go for as much as $25,000 on the underground market.Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Stony Brook University praised for handling of coronavirus pandemic

STONY BROOK, N.Y. (WCBS 880) — A Long Island college on Thursday was hailed as an example as to how higher learning institutions should be handling the coronavirus pandemic. SUNY Oneonta, in upstate New York, was closed for in-person classes after reporting 670 cases, but in Suffolk County, Stony Brook University was hailed for having one of the safest campuses in the state.There are 4,700 students who live on Stony Brook’s campus and every one of them must receive a weekly COVID-19 test to certify that they are healthy enough to attend in-person classes. As the pandemic has progressed, so has testing, and SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras praised school officials at Stony Brook for being able to adapt while keeping infection rates extremely low. Sophia Hall/WCBS 880 “Stony Brook has done a phenomenal job of testing, so they can be assured the virus is at bay, it’s controlled – and you see it in the numbers. The numbers are very low here, only a handful,” Malatras said.Students show up weekly to the school’s testing center, where they are given a new saliva test instead of the traditional nose swab exam.Overall, the campus has only had a few dozen cases of the virus since opening on Aug. 28.Malatras credits distant learning and frequent reporting for the low numbers."We require that every campus file with us everything that is going on, on the campus. How many COVID cases? How many hospitalizations? Stony Brook has been doing this right out of the gate,” the SUNY chancellor said. “Stony Brook was recently given, by Harvard, an A for their transparency.”Additionally, many students continue to do remote learning. In fact, 80% of the student body is participating in online classes. Though, Stony Brook president Maurie McInnis says the school could certainly handle a larger student body.“We easily think we can accommodate many more students but, the first thing we needed to do is de-densify our classrooms and that's going to be true in our spring semester as well,” she explains.Beginning next week, around 1,500 commuter students will be required to test weekly as they begin returning to some in-person classes.

MTA adding nearly 1,000 additional bus trips as NYC students return to school

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — The MTA is adding more bus service throughout the city as the agency prepares for New York City school students to return to in-person classes. The agency announced Thursday that nearly 1,000 additional bus trips will begin every weekday on Oct. 1 to help students travel to and from school.“We look forward to welcoming back students to our system and can’t wait for them to see all of the measures we have put in place to keep them safe, from mandating masks to the largest disinfecting program in agency history to adding hundreds of bus trips in every part of the city,” said Patrick J. Foye, Chairman and CEO of the MTA. “However, the absence of necessary emergency federal funding means measures like these will be at risk in the future, as we continue to ask Washington for $12 billion through the end of 2021 to avert devastating service cuts, fare and toll hikes and layoffs.”The MTA will add 990 bus trips across the five boroughs in the morning and a total of 105 buses will be added to multiple routes.Agency officials did not say if subway service will be increased as students return to classes, but NYC Transit Interim President Sarah Feinberg did note the subway service is back to where it was before the pandemic.“Our subways are running at nearly 100 percent of capacity and we’ve made sure to increase the amount of bus trips throughout the boroughs to ensure students have a convenient and safe way to get to class,” Said Sarah Feinberg, NYC Transit Interim President. “Students are a part of the fabric of this city and we welcome them back to a system that is cleaner than it has ever been.”The MTA will continue to hand out student MetroCards to New York City school students to help them travel on city buses and subways and no cost to them. Students may only use the MetroCards on school days and during the hours specified on the card. Student are reminded that, like all MTA customers, they must wear a mask inside stations and on public transportation or face a $50 fine.Service is being added to the following routes to accommodate students: Bronx: Bx1, Bx3, Bx8, Bx9, Bx10, Bx11, Bx12, Bx16, Bx17, Bx20, Bx21, Bx23, Bx26, Bx28/38, Bx30, Bx31, Bx36, Bx39,Bx40/42 and Bx41 Brooklyn: B1, B4, B6, B7, B9, B11, B12, B16, B20, B31, B36, B41, B44, B44SBS, B46, B46SBS, B47, B49, B54, B60,B63, B64, B67/69 and B100 Manhattan: M11 and M116 Queens: Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q7, Q8, Q11, Q15, Q17, Q20, Q21, Q22, Q27, Q28, Q30, Q31, Q34, Q36, Q37, Q38, Q41, Q43,Q44SBS Q46, Q50, Q54, Q55, Q58, Q65, Q66, Q76, Q77, Q83, Q85, Q88, Q111 and Q112 Staten Island: S42/52, S44/94, S46/96, S48/98, S51/81, S53, S54, S55, S56, S57, S59, S61/91, S62/92, S66, S74/84,S76/86, S78 and S79SBSStay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Cuomo: New York to establish coronavirus vaccine task force

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — New York plans to establish an independent task force to ensure any coronavirus vaccines approved by the federal government is safe for residents to take, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday. At a press conference, the governor said the task force will be made up of scientists, doctors and health experts. They will be tasked with advising state officials on the safety and effectiveness of any vaccine.“I think the way we have handled COVID has been a model for the country,” Cuomo said. “I think we should do the same thing with vaccines. We should be a model for the country.”Cuomo notes that New York is taking the lead in creating a task force to ensure the vaccine is not rushed to the public, “because the federal government has shown they are incompetent on this issue.”“Administering a vaccine to every New Yorker, this is a massive undertaking,” the governor stressed. He wants New York State to have “the best vaccination program” in the county and says the task force will have 16 people on it to work out the logistics of vaccine distribution. They will also work out guidelines to determine who receives vaccinations first. “The vaccine plan will include prioritization of the vaccine, who gets the vaccine first, based on medical standards, not anything else,” Cuomo said. Cuomo says New York State will need around 40 million doses of any approved vaccines for the state’s population of roughly 19 million, because some vaccines could require two doses. The governor notes that the state continues to see positive trends in coronavirus cases with a positivity rate of just 1.02% on Wednesday. In total, New York has confirmed 452,847 coronavirus cases. An additional two people died from the virus on Wednesday, bringing the statewide total to 25,439. Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Cuomo, Whitmer call for Congressional investigation into Trump's handling of pandemic

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has teamed up with Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to call for a Congressional oversight investigation into what they call the Trump administration's politicization of the country's response to the coronavirus pandemic.Cuomo and Whitmer blame President Donald Trump for the high number of coronavirus deaths and infections in the country."It is an inarguable fact that the United States has had the worst response to the COVID-19 virus of any nation in the world. Nearly 7 million Americans have tested positive for the virus, and more than 200,000 Americans have been killed by it -- both more than any other country. The unprecedented and unacceptable scale of this tragedy is the direct result of President Trump and the federal government's deceit, political self-dealing, and incompetence," the governors said in a joint statement. NEW: @GovWhitmer and I are calling for Congressional investigations into the Trump admin's politicization of pandemic response.We can't allow the President & his advisors to ignore scientists & play politics with Americans' lives.What did they know and when did they know it? pic.twitter.com/b1T6Yjpzi8— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) September 24, 2020 The two allege that Trump put the "health and security" of Americans in the hands of political appointees, instead of health experts and public servants, to help guide his decisions.They cited a recent Washington Post report that claimed the White House blocked efforts by the Department of Health and Human Services to have the U.S. Postal Service deliver masks to every household back in April."Imagine the lives that could have been saved if every household were provided masks at such a crucial time," the governors said.They also defended their call for an investigation by pointing to recent controversies surrounding the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.On Monday, days after updating its website to state that the coronavirus is mainly airborne, with droplets remaining suspended and traveling more than 6 feet, the CDC announced that they had erroneously posted the guidance.This came after the CDC dropped controversial guidance which said asymptomatic people need not be tested, even if they've been exposed to someone with COVID-19."It's increasingly clear that the President and his advisers are trying to undermine the credibility of experts whose facts run counter to the administration's political agenda," the governors said."As a country, we cannot allow this type of politically-motivated decision making to take root," they added. "Logic dictates that COVID won't be the last public health challenge we will face, and we can't afford to again respond by playing politics, instead of listening to the science and facts."Meanwhile, New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez said this week that he is introducing a bill to create an independent nonpartisan panel to investigate the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The 9/11-style commission aims to improve the country's readiness for future pandemics.Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.

Brooklyn nurse named one of Time's 100 most influential people of 2020

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — A Brooklyn nurse who was on the frontlines of New York City's coronavirus battle has been named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2020.Amy O'Sullivan is an 18-year veteran emergency room nurse at Wyckoff Hospital. O'Sullivan treated the hospital's first COVID-19 patient, who later became New York City's first coronavirus death."The first COVID patient in Brooklyn, she was my patient," O'Sullivan told TIME."Amy O'Sullivan is just one of the millions of health care workers worldwide who risked everything to service others. There are two simple words for their heroism: Thank you," @katiecouric writes #TIME100 https://t.co/HbFe4w6DTi— TIME (@TIME) September 24, 2020 Days later, O'Sullivan contracted the virus herself and was put on a ventilator. The moment she recovered, she put her scrubs back on and got back to work less than two weeks later."I'm meant to be here," O'Sullivan said.She was profiled in the magazine by veteran journalist Katie Couric. O'Sullivan graces one of eight covers that TIME has released to mark this year's list. Other covers feature National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, Black Lives Matter founders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, performer Megan Thee Stallion, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, musical artist The Weeknd, actress Gabrielle Union and athlete Dwyane Wade, and the President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen. President Donald Trump, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and Sen Kamala Harris are among the political leaders featured on the list."While you will certainly find people who wield traditional power on this year's list—heads of state, CEOs, major entertainers—it also includes many extraordinary, lesser-known individuals who seized the moment to save lives, build a movement, lift the spirit, repair the world," said TIME CEO and editor in chief Edward Felsenthal.Stay informed, stay connected — follow WCBS 880 on Facebook and Twitter.
