Anderson, thank you so much for reminding people about the human cost of this situation.

I am Chris Cuomo. Welcome to prime time. The head of the CDC has everyone repeating his warning tonight.

There likely could be another COVID wave this winter, and it may be worse.

to push as one for solutions to protect our families and our fates. So what do you say? Let's get after.

Why did Robert Redfield, the CDC head, say something so scary? Precedent with viruses like this,

projections about what we see happening in and around this country

capacity to deal with COVID. And there likely won't be a vaccine for coronavirus. So let's do what

we can. Now, that's the easy part of preparing. Testing, tracing, treatment. These are not just
