Description: Dr. Mark McClellan, a former FDA commissioner who now heads the Margolis Center for Health Policy at Duke University, says the Biden administration has a foundation to build on regarding vaccine distribution, but changes the president wants to make to accelerate the nationwide effort will take time.

Homeowners insurance doesn't cover floods, so purchasing separate flood insurance is crucial in North Carolina, especially in high-risk areas.

SCIENCE AND EVIDENCE. >> Reporter: YOU SPOKE FOR 30 MINUTES WITHOUT THE PRESENT BY HIS SIDE. JOINING US HIS FORMER FDA COMMISSIONER DR. McCLELLAN. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US. LET'S START WITH THE DR. FAUCI. IT IS A GOOD TO SEE HIM IN A DEFINITE CHANGE IN TONE AND APPROACH. >> AND GET USED TO. THESE REGULAR BRIEFINGS WITH THE FACTS WILL BECOME A ROUTINE PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE. PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON WITH MORE VACCINES BECOMING AVAILABLE AND QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GET IT AND GO FASTER. WE STILL HAVE HIGH LEVELS OF CASES AND WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO MASKS AND HAVE MORE TESTING TO HELP SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES REOPENED. THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON IT IS NICE TO SEE THIS HIGHER LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY. >> Reporter: IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD STAY AWAY FROM THE POLITICS? WE TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT OUR WORDS THAT MATTER. OVERNIGHT AND TODAY WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS NO PLAN. THE PRESIDENT ALLUDED TO THAT BEFORE INAUGURATION. AND TODAY DR. FAUCI SAID HOLD ON , THAT IS NOT TRUE. THERE WAS A PLAN , WE WANT TO TAKE THE GOOD FROM THAT PLAN AND MAKE IT BETTER. CAN WE MOVE TO WHERE SCIENCE THAT DRIVES THIS? >> I THINK WE ARE ON THE WAY TO DOING THAT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE POLITICS INVOLVED. THERE'S POLITICAL DIVISION THESE ARE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO ALL OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE'VE HAD 1 MILLION PEOPLE VACCINATED. AND THOSE NUMBERS ARE GETTING UP THERE. 18 MILLION AMERICANS. CAN WE DO BETTER AND MORE? ABSOLUTELY. BUT THERE IS A FOUNDATION TO BUILD ON AND I THINK WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GET THOSE OF VACCINATION NUMBERS UP AND BRING THE SCIENTIST AND EVEN MORE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY CAN DO TO STAY HEALTHY. >> HE DID ANYTHING SURPRISE YOU IN THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN TODAY? >> THERE WAS A LOT THAT THE NEW ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO BUILD ON AND MAKE FOR A STRONGER NATIONAL RESPONSE. THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIGGER ROLE FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. MUCH OF THIS WORK IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO IMPLEMENT. PEOPLE WILL NOT SAY BIG CHANGES OVERNIGHT. WHAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IS CAN A NEW ADMINISTRATION TAKE QUICK STEPS . THE PRESIDENT HAS AIM FOR 1 MILLION VACCINATIONS PER DAY. WE ARE AT THAT NUMBER NOW. >> AND WE GO FASTER THAN THAT? OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH VACCINE AVAILABLE. CAN WE GET TO THOSE BIGGER NUMBERS, THAT'S THE THING TO WATCH FOR. >> WILL WE SEE MORE VACCINES ON THE MARKET SOON, PARTICULARLY JOHNSON & JOHNSON. >> I DO KNOW THAT THAT BIG CLINICAL TRIAL THAT IS BEING RUN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD IS GETTING CLOSE TO THE POINT WHERE INDEPENDENT SCIENTISTS WILL HAVE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE DATA AND SEE IF THEY CAN PROCEED TO BRING THAT VACCINE TO MARKET. THAT COULD HAPPEN OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND I COULD BE ENOUGH VACCINE FOR HUNDRED MILLION AMERICANS BY SPRINGTIME. >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME DR.

Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner, I'm tracking a front that's dropping in on our area this morning. We will end up seeing most of the rain between late morning and say late afternoon as this moves from north to south slowly across our area. I mean, even though we're looking at, you know, a decent coverage of rain here as it moves through the amounts, the totals that we actually see in the rain gauges are going to be pretty light. We're talking about less than 1/10 of an inch in most places. We'll pause it there at lunchtime and we're seeing some showers from Raleigh North through there at noon. It starts to slide southward during the afternoon. At three o'clock, we're drying out from Durham to Roxboro, but seeing some showers from Rocky Mountain to Goldsboro to Fayetteville to Southern Pines. By five o'clock, the rain is over in the triangle but continues to affect folks around Fayetteville, Clinton and Goldsboro. And by around seven o'clock, it has pushed east of our area. We take a look at Durham this morning. We're seeing mostly cloudy skies. Clouds are really starting to thicken up as that front gets closer to us, it's much warmer than it was yesterday. We're starting off with our temperatures in the fifties instead of the thirties that we saw yesterday. So these temperatures heading out are going to be anywhere from 15 to 20 degrees warmer than yesterday. So you don't need a big coat, but a jacket will feel comfortable again. Take along the umbrella too. If you're going to be out at any point today, especially late morning into the latter part of the afternoon, temperatures will be mild in the mid to upper seventies, but we'll have just a few light showers. Durham Bulls are in the middle of a home stand right now. And even though we do have some rain in the forecast, that rain will be out of here by the time we get to six o'clock in Durham, that may still be in our southern counties by that point, but it won't be in Durham any longer. Thursday and Friday as well as Saturday and Sunday. All looking nice and dry with some sunshine and game time. Temperatures in the low seventies, at least through Saturday is Saturday looking beautiful temperatures through the afternoon will be in the mid seventies under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. So looking pretty, it's a mild week, normal high 75 and that's what we're seeing through Saturday. But then we see 80 is returning for Sunday. That's not going to be a record. The record for Sunday is 90 but Monday 86 and then Tuesday, we climbed to 89 and the record is 90. So that one is definitely within the grasp. We could end up with a record high on Tuesday. It's the only wet day today. After that, we're dry and we'll see continued warming into early next week.
