they got some combination of this monoclonal antibody developed by eli lilly. this is not just some pill you get prescribed. they run itly t through your bo while you're hooked to an i.v.. it's best to get it right at the beginning. here's the thing. there's not nearly enough for everyone who needs it. "new york times" columnist michelle goldberg found a document that says washington was only given 108 doses of regeneron's monoclonal cocktail, and somehow giuliani qualified for one of them. and then carson got some of those cocktails, chris christie got one too. the president himself, of course, called it a cure, said he never felt better and promised every last senior in america would have same cure for free. >> and if you're in the hospital and feeling really bad, i think we're going to work it so that you get them and get them free, especially if you're a senior. you're going to get better. you're going to get better really fast. >> no, no, that didn't happen. 3,000 people died today. 3,000 people died yesterday. 3,000 people will die tomorrow. the antibody

we will bring on mike lillis, a reporter with the hill newspaper. guest: thanks for having me. host: tell us what the status is of the house and senate leader'' efforts to reach agreement on a funding bill? the congresshrew -- they do this year after year after year. congress was supposed to pass a short-term funding bill yesterday, known as a continuing resolution. you will hear that term a lot. a two day extension of government funding that would have prevented a shut down -- that prevented a shut down but would have happened at midnight last night. they have said they were close most of the last week, so we are not really sure what that means at this point. a lot of agreement has been made, but there is also a number of outstanding issues. today, theapitol be joined by house leaders who will ira not the final details. then the half to get the , which is anext arduous undertaking, because it is $2 trillion here, then they have to pass it through the senate and house. or we will have another shut down monday morning. has been that has to wait and see. -- everybody has to wait

for so long we talked about them, whether it be regeneron or remdesivir or what eli lilly was doing. but we're still seeing 3,000 deaths a day. my question is how is this going? >> we expected medicines available first to make a difference in the pandemic. we did get remdesivir. there is international disagreement over how useful remdesivir is in treating patients then the antibody drugs, those are authorized but there's not enough of them. so they're getting rationed. we will start to see the supply of the antibody drugs ramp up in the new year. especially with international partnership over manufacturing the antibody. but in the beginning it hasn't been enough to make a dent in the pandemic. and then there are novel anti-viral drugs that are being developed. merck has one that it licensed that is going into large scale clinical trials. we hope to see the data soon to see a potential pill that could help with this disease. but the -- that category has gone maybe more slowly than people hoped it might. >> whatever happened with the people who were in these tests? i know pfizer wanted

for those that would continue to get this virus, eli lilly's emergency approval of the plasma and regeneron's antivirals hold a lot of promise to substantially reduce the severity for those that got covid. the pandemic has had great impact on the global economy and governments as well have been buying their way out of this recession. what do you make of the level of debt that has been accumulated? how will that play out? >> as you and i have discussed for years, when you talk about debt, there are two factors you need to consider. one, the maturity, and two, the interest rates. so the asia summit, which is occurring at this time, will bring people from every continent in the world except antarctica, and hopefully next year we will have someone from antarctica. but in 1981, the u.s. government for example, short-term rates were 18%. long-term rates 14%. in many parts of the world, interest rates are 0%. japan and parts of europe. debt, along-term country like austria sold 100 year debt. it was trading under 1%. debt, we havek at to factor in the maturity and factor in interest. if we take inte

eli lilly comes out with their version of regeneron. if you take this early, 70% of the people don't go to the hospital. hospitals in california and in some other states are getting overwhelmed. the problem is, accord g to the people at eli lilly, the doctors aren't using it only 5% that you sent out the american taxpayer paid for is being used. what's the disconnect? and what are you doing to get the word out that doctors should offer this as opposed to a hospital bed? >> it's a very important point because our hospitals are getting crowded. we have these unbelievable tools, these antibodies from lily and regeneron, as well as convalescent plasma that you could use to keep people out of the hospital. they are storing them up at hospitals. they are not using them. we need to get -- our governors need to get them out there to home health organizations to home infusion, to outpatient infusion centers. to nursing homes. use them anywhere to keep people from getting to the hospital. don't store them up until somebody gets to the emergency r

those tariffs here and also what happens in terms of our negotiations with other ail like likes ail lillies like the eu. this was the gripe of the current administration against the european union when it came to things like standing against china and part of the reason i think this administration took such a surprisingly hawkish stance on some of our key allies like europe. >> yeah. that is interesting. what also has been interesting this year has been tesla you talk about the market cap or the weighted cap of energy tesla is probably above that of the entire group, i don't know. >> not quite >> number six overall, only 80% of the market cap, because elon musk had quite a year, becoming one of the wealthiest man on the planet as a result of that 734% rise in tesla. >> that's just tesla. >> that's just tesla >> that's not the privately held one, spacex. >> that's right. >> nicely valued >> yeah. he's got his neurolink as well musk is an industry unto himself. tesla has been taking a lot of us certainly, well, it captured the imagination. >> just a small note on that, in terms of -- it is po

working on and the antibodies although that was a supply issue from the beginning for the likes of lilly or regeneron they would be out prior to it. but not this oral antiviral. doesn't mean there is not going to be a market for it, jim unfortunately, people will continue to get covid even when the vaccine is around but it might not be like it was at one point which was approaching normal prior to the vaccine. those vaccines came very quickly. >> i was getting quite hopeful that the presidedrug the presido would be in the hands of many. i don't know where it is maybe the federal government has it, carl, i don't know where the stockpile of regeneron pills are. yes, it's got to be, i'll take the infusion so what. you take the infusion and you get better you need a hospital. >> it's hard to make not that many doses of it. not that much of it available. >> well, we need it. carl, we need it because the numbers are going to be pretty staggering and i think it's going to hurt, i think it's going to hurt the sentiment for a little bit when we see thanksgiving the numbers that have come from tha

you do mention regeneron the monoclonal antibodies, emergency usage, lilly and regeneron, not getting used, aparentally. >> no, and these stay at home tests are too expensive. i really am shocked. i have dr. mena from the harvard school public health on tomorrow they have a paper strip test that costs almost nothing. the government can just buy a couple billion dollars, everybody gets it for six months but, no. it just -- a lot of the cynicism, i think, is correct. it is a big money game, david. it is a big money game, how this thing is playing out and that's not unusual when you look at washington whoever -- there are companies that are going to kill it on this is that the goal, david? is it -- find the companies that are going to crush it in the bottom line? not the actual disease >> no. and it seems -- >> are you stunned or is that just the delay >> say again >> are you stunned or is that the bizarre delay that we're having because you're in australia and i'm in greenland >> yeah, exactly there is a bit of a delay today. i do want to thank my host, by the way, i'm going to call thi

the question, do the existing trugs for the coronavirus and our vaccines work against this strain eli lilly, who makes the antibody drugs say they should still cover it they say their drug should maintain full activity against the new strain, regeneron believes the cocktail will be effective against the specific area yant and labwork is under way to determine that. as for the vaccines, same thing although we are waiting for more information from them. >> that's going to be an important question as relates to the outlook. meg, gene editing stocks what is driving the big surge? >> it is remarkable. if you look at names like he hadity as, beam and chrisser and intelia. positivity about really being bullish about these names and their prospects. there is also some bad news sadly in another name, eun cure ticker qure. down 60% unfortunately on a hemophilia gene therapy program put on hold. this technology has had a setback. gene editing maybe getting a boone from that. biotech at work. >> meg, thank you, as always. >>> now to washington and the latest on a long road to a new round of stimulus. y

speed's doctor slaoui even though they are shipping out 65,000 of these drugs from rejen ran and eli lilly only 5 to 20% of these drugs are actual gleeting used. there are a lot of complications with them. they are given by ivs. that's problematic l you need toate administer them quickly after diagnosis. but dr. slaouiing the me they could cut down hospitalize igs in people that are high risk by 50 to 70%, so tragic that they are not being used as much as they could be by the states. >> is that because it is hard to find the right set of criteria people who are at high risk -- i guess do they have to come to the hospital, meg and then not be considered serious enough to admit but considered high risk enough to get the antibody iv? it is hard to game out what the scenarios are here >> you are right it is a specific group of patients who qualify for this, but there are so many patients being diagnosed thousands would fit. it is people just diagnosed with the disease but who are at high risk of having severe complications and having to go to the hospital but they need the administration early

number needed to treat in terms of keeping one patient out of the hospital with the antibody drugs is 10 lilly is going to distribute 900,000 doses of those drugs before the end of the year that means if all of the drugs got distributed, we could avoid 90,000 hospital emergency room visits that would be substantial. it's a harbinger for the vaccines as we get into the next tranche which is going to be in the community. it might be challenging for the states to distribute the vaccines if they can't distribute the antibody drugs. >> it seems like an opportunity, doctor we know it's going to take a while for the vaccines to really make a dent in this. in the meantime, i mean, policy makers ought to get those anti-body drugs out. there's a way of focusing on a problem, isn't there i know it's the government there's a way of doing it, isn't there? >> there is. we've been talking about this for a long time trying to get in place the infusion centers that you need it's not an easy task. you need special infusion sites. you can't bring covid patients into infusion centers. some states have set up spec

we will be back tomorrow with the ceo of eli lilly. "varney & co." begins right now. take it away, stu. stuart: good morning. let's call this what it is, on american triumph, the day when the pfizer vaccine arrives, a medical triumph, first case to reliable vaccine , 10 months, remarkable. would just a cultural and files kept cold and disturbed it mac 50 states and fast and it's working, 145 hospitals get it today. 600 in the next few days , the first inoculation's will take place today. the credit for all of this, in my opinion, should go to the trump administration. when the president is that there be a vaccine before the end of the year, he was laughed at, here it is in the governor of new york said he had experts investigate the vaccine because he didn't trust the president, here it is, fully approved it when the first trucks rolled out with the vaccine there were rounds of applause and a future from flags he deserves the credit, that's my opinion. monday, december 14, it's an important day and "varney & co." is about to begin. ♪ susan: flash. stuart: i started

cvs will be giving out eli lilly's covid antibody drug to m so patients. who gets it and at what cost? lauren: patients in seven cities if they have mild covid-19 infections and are not in the hospital, they can get it starting today for nothing. it's free. this is the antibody treatment that was recently approved by the fda for emergency use but it has to be given intravenously which is why it's a pretty big deal the government has tapped cvs to begin administering it in patients' homes. this is the treatment of many people with covid-19 who are not in the hospital, using staff at pharmacies to treat people where they are, at their homes or some sort of facility but not the hospital. stuart: i've got one more for you, stitch fix, down 3.25%. a, what do they do, why are they down so much? lauren: so they are an online personal stylist, if you will. they were downgraded to underweight from equal at wells fargo giving them a $27 price target. so you can see that's $10 from where they are now. but this has been a pandemic winner. the stock is up more than 50%

you get a positive test, please, seek out your healthcare professional and ask about the regeneron or lilly monoclonal antibody. we have supplies. they aren't getting used because you don't want to use it when somebody shows up at the emergency room. you want to use it when they're first diagnosed so you keep that viral load down, you reverse the disease, pushing it back and you keep out of the hospital, hopefully. i was able to talk to the great leaders here at medstar georgetown hospital. they're setting up systems to get out in the community to use it effectively, because we don't want to overstress the healthcare system and the hospitals and these incredible healthcare workers when we have tools out there that can help keep people out. ainsley: for the moment you get your positive test ask your doctor about regeneron. brian: and remdesivir. >> if you are at risk of hospitalization, if you have a serious co morbidity or over 65 please ask your healthcare provider. ainsley: thank you so much for everything you're doing have a merry christmas god bless you. janice is tracking that nor'east
