BERMAN: “This morning, nearly 120,000 Americans spending Christmas Eve in the hospital; 3,359 Americans reported dead from Coronavirus overnight. Despite these figures, the TSA says millions of Americans still traveling for the holiday, ignoring pleas from health officials to stay home. Joining us now, Dr. Ali Khan, he’s the dean of the University Nebraska Medical Center’s College for Public Health. Dr. Kahn, thank you very much for being with us this morning. That hospitalization figure, as it hits new records every day, almost now at 120,000, why is it still going up? How is it that it continues to go up? New cases, there is some sign that it’s leveling off a bit, but the fact that we keep filling up our hospitals at new unprecedented and levels, it just keeps happening.”
KHAN: “Good morning, John. And yeah, it’s very disturbing. And I’ll contrast your numbers with the fact that about 1.7 billion people are going to wake up on Christmas morning with near zero cases in Australia, New Zealand, China, Thailand, et cetera, et cetera. So it's -- it's actually quite disturbing.”
