steve harrigan live in atlanta with the very latest. hi, steve.port david, the press able to see the start of the meeting president biden with white house covid response team virtually were a bipartisan group of governors. the president said the omicron variant of was a source of concern, it should not be a source of panic. he also asked the governors what they needed, promising to give them what they needed. several governors spoke up, said what they needed was testing. if you look at the testing situation across the country especially in major cities there are long lines people waiting sometimes hours to be tested. those home test kits are often in short supply as well. if you look at the numbers at this point, 198,000 new cases per day, that is the most recent seven day average. new york, new jersey, massachusetts, setting records for the number of new cases. the only bright spot for this, hospitalizations, they are not keeping pace with the number of new cases. new cases up 47% in one week but in at that same time period hospitaliza

landscape we think economy poised to slow somewhat next year from pace in a we are seeing right now, the atlanta federal reserve, is reporting gdp tracker 7.2% annualized pace of growth fourth quarter a lot of momentum to care next year even accounting for headwinds omicron being one of them if you see dim dimunition a lot of mfor cyclical sectors economic sensitive sectors companies i mentioned earlier participate in, having that would be energy, industrials, even consumer discretionary the sectors that we would underweight not necessarily avoid but underweight the last xep weeks consumer staples utilities, tend to be those that are more defensive in nature i understand concerns are on the aforementioned is -- fore investor to protect capital we don't think those already most award next year given again momentum. >> deeper in 2022 we may shift on that, because continues to decelerate some afore mentioned headwinds start to become stiffer that maybe a reason to reconsider allocation but at least over next or two merry christmas to you mark thanks very much for support for joining us 2021 we love

we had jonathan serrie keeping track of all of that in atlanta. jonathan? reporter: neil, covid continues to cause major disruptions to professional sports. the national hockey league made it official today, announcing that its players will not participate in the 2022 winter olympics in beijing. nhl commissioner gary bettman explained in a statement, unfortunately given the profound disruption to the nhl regular season schedule caused by recent covid related events 50 games have been posted.ded through december 23. olympic participation is no longer feasible. it is also disrupting personal plans. bill gates tweeted omicron will hit home for all of us. close friends of mine have it. i canceled most of my holiday plans. covid is having an impact on new year's eve celebrations around the country. new york mayor bill de blasio says he will make a decision before christmas whether to alter his city's plans to return to in-person celebrations in times square. as americans look to booster shots to increase the effectiveness of existing vaccines against the omicron

>> well, in fairness atlanta fed does over shoot okay they were pg 6 to 10 third quarter -- at 2.1 right now trade deficit tell dramatically, okay exported quite a bit, the energy prunts, and vehicles, as our exports soared trade deficit fell going to boost gdp, obviously, october retail sales the if only november retail sales very disappointing, looks like spending most more than with gas in tanks, the holiday shopping season, is should still be very, very good. when consumers have money in pockets they spend it. they are spending a lot in credit cards now good sign, and credit card growth exceeding personal income looks like spending money even if -- right now. >> so you are a growth guy let's look at big tech impact of big tech on broader market, analysts at goldman sachs are pointing out that it is just such a narrow rally, five names microsoft inindividuala apple tesla over half since april one third 24% advanced this year some are concerned, that this rally so is narrow heading into 2022, i know you even a lot of names, right what do you think about this does this worry you? >> you

something that is omicron related the latest report from jonathan syrian atlanta there looking at moderna and a booster shot. moderna is saying right now could be the trick against omicron, can you explain that. >> to things going on, the existing booster appears to offer a lot of protection but also working on booster specifically targeting the variance. more on that in a moment. omicron variant has been confirmed in every u.s. state except for two oklahoma and south dakota in texas authorities have confirmed the first omicron related death, houston-area man in his 50s, he was unvaccinated and underlying health conditions. >> we will have hospitalizations, tragically deaths like we see now. the evidence shows for those vaccinated and with the boosters is much less likely. >> withered of release new data showing the current booster shot produces a 37 fold increase in omicron neutralizing antibodies. pfizer really similar data earlier this month, this is important, without boosters existing vaccines are less effective against the new variant. >> delta seems to go through like wildfire in c

right now the atlanta federal reserve gdp now tracker showing the annualized growth rate of activity in the fourth quarter this year, north of 7%. while i don't expect that throughout next year, likely we will see the glide path shallow out around a 4% or so and growth rate which is better than double where we stood over the 11 year expansion of the pre-pandemic basis. it's a healthy growth and that auto foster strong corporate profit. jackie: there is a huge concern about inflation as a going to 2022 near a 40 year high. you have an administration not really doing as much as they can to help fix the problem but at least the fed seems responsive. in the markets seem to like them. >> no doubt i think the market would like to see the federal reserve and i think that's why the reaction has been cane relative to reap prospects that the federal reserve may become more progressive to the less accommodative policies by the bond growing turbine program and interest rate hikes next year as an effort to tame inflation running at multi-decade highs at the moment to a nonthreatening level. i thi

crunch the numbers for us and what he sees happening but ahead of that, to jonathan with the latest from atlanta. hey, jonathan. >> hi there, neil. well the cdc is now recommending that people receive mrna vaccines that includes the pfizer and moderna vaccines over the johnson & johnson single dose vaccine. the decision follows a recommendation by a panel of independent vaccine experts known as asip hads which discussed ongoing concerns about blood clots affecting small but above-baseline numbers of j & j vaccine recipients. in a statement the cdc explained asip's unanimous recommendation followed a robust discussion of the latest evidence on vaccine effectiveness. vaccine safety, and rare adverse events and consideration of the u.s. vaccine supply. while existing vaccines show effectiveness against omicron, recent studies show booster shots are able to prevent most cases of symptomatic covid and more importantly, keep people out of the hospital. while federal health officials strongly recommend boosters for everyone 16 and older, the cdc has yet to update its definition of fully vaccinated to i

bobby petrino was spiral out with the atlanta falcons. neil: he burned a lot of bridges with the star of the team, trevor lawrence, on a trying him out for the quarterback position it was almost my mill eighting. >> it made no sense. first overall pick out of clemson. so much hype coming out of the putting him in a battle against gardiner minute issue. he was a personality. people like him. we're not sure yet, not sure yet, oh, yeah, trevor lawrence was our starter. they trade away gardner menshaw. neil: the jaguars have two wins to their credit so far this season, i think that is what it is. they had only one last year. maybe they had five or six, maybe seven wins this wouldn't have happened? >> if this is a playoff contending team i don't think he is let go until they see the circumstances at the end of the season. i think khan the owner of jaguars was trying to get give the benefit of the doubts as best he could, but when you're 2-11, lost the entire locker room, fights with coaches an players, brown anyone nating you kicking the kicke

jonathan serrie in atlanta. what's the data on boosters efficacy against omicron? reporter: hi, there, stuart. when you look at some of the recent studies they do show the existing mrna vaccines lose their effectiveness against the coronavirus over time, however, recent studies suggest that if you add a third dose of those vaccines, in other words, a booster shot after you have been six months, at least six months after you have been fully vaccinated, that is 75% effective in preventing symptomatic disease. most importantly, people who are fully vaccinated, plus the booster, are less likely to develop severe disease. in fact many of these patients are asymptomatic. >> our booster vaccine regimens work against omicron. at this point there is no need for a variant specific booster. reporter: federal health officials strongly recommend booster shots for everyone who is eligible. people ages 16 and older. the cdc has yet to update the definition of full vaccination. right now the definition of full vaccination is two doses of the pfizer or moderna vaccines or one dose

in atlanta yet home depot say their stores are getting hit by organize committal. we've all seen the video on the smash and grab attacks where thieves are running into stores with masks on stealing whatever they can and running out this is an incredible situation, what you doing about it? >> it is no coincidence that the party of the phone the police is now the party of rampant crime. the democrats through their rhetoric of defend the police have created the scenario and created the situation that exists right now. they are completely ignoring it. aoc said that's not what's happening, that is not the case at all. it's like ignore your teeth and don't go away, let me tell you this is the situation you continue to ignore this and businesses will go away. we have got to do something about it in congress and get tougher on crime and make sure. i was an independent retail pharmacist for many years, i tell you it is frightening to be in business anymore. maria: people don't want to go to stores, i certainly don't want to go shopping anymore god forbid this happens when y

, it wasn't fun then and it's not fun now and you pointed out the wage real wages are negative that atlanta wage tracker came out at 4.3, but here's an interesting statistic, sticky cpi came out at 4% today, that's an atlanta fed to measure and it was 5.8% in october, so we may start to see some moderation though energy , housing, shelter , those are still troublesome. charles: you mentioned wages we are seeing big wage gains, certainly nominal wage gains yet we have had strikes, unionization of companies, employee friendly companies and on i know a lot of people that work at starbucks and i never shot-- thought any shop would unionize especially in buffalo and i'm thinking there will be record because of all of this businesses will probably say we have to figure something out and i'm saying it's going to be record cap spending next year. i went to refresh and some thoughts and if this is the case what stocks would benefit? >> i think you are right about that. i mean, if you look at just the metrics looking backwards cap x has been robust but if you look at the expectation for cap x spend g

in april the justice department charged a father and daughter from atlanta with selling millions in stolen goods online. congress with a bipartisan bill looking to require sites like ebay, etsy, amazon, verify the identities of many much their online sellers. >> we have never asked any of these platforms, including amazon, to take any kind of responsibility. now, we think that that will be an incentive to keep all of these fraudsters off. people who are hijacking stores and selling those products online. reporter: retails support the bill. so do many of the major online markets like amazon. what they say they oppose is a patchwork of state-based regulation and laws. several state governments are considering bills on this issue. a coalition that represents the internet association and sites like amazon says, quote, we all agree organized retail crime is a problem but punishing honest, online sellers is not the solution. retail theft needs to be addressed at the brick-and-mortar scene of the crime, not online. that coalition points to an organized retail task force in illinois as their prefe

and we've also seen that in atlanta again. a non-progressive black man was elected, president, mayor of atlanta last week. again beat out progressives. i think we're seeing in polling, stuart, people have had enough of crime in their streets. they have had enough of this looting. they have had enough of no bail being imposed for even homicides in new york city. it is an sane. people are really fed up. stuart: it is a long way to the next elections in 2022. it is 11 months. 11 months in politics is a very long time. does this voter anguish about what is going on in our city, does it have legs? will it last through 2022? >> i think it depends what the crime rate looks like going into the election. we've seen this is a very potent weapon that republicans are able to use against democrats, and in particular, it is very powerful with suburban white woman, a group that republicans lost in 2020 and kind of began to lose in 2018. this is a very big deal. people want safe streets. by the way, what community is hurt worse by all this cr

this fourth quarter that we're in right now, estimates, the atlanta fed we'll grow 9.7% real gdp. so productivity will bounce back but in order to have the kind of alan greenspan 2020s if you will, roaring 2020s, we need a smaller government. and i think one of the biggest problems we have right now is the biden administration thinks it can fix the supply chains. thinks it can manage the economy. and the more that it tries to do that the worse productivity numbers are going to get. get out of the way, let companies do it and productivity will be fine. charles: yeah you know i saw today where they postponed levying fines on these ships parked out there for the second time. i hope they keep doing that. to your point, let the free markets work. i hope the administration sticks with the public relations aspect of it. when it gets fixed, take credit but don't put your hands in in the meantime. i have a headline for you this goes along with the idea of big government this morning. a massive yield curve headache awaits the federal reserve and the reason i bring this up i keep saying, lis

very quickly we converted our operations in jfk, newark and sfo to focus on the, and then we added in atlanta at the same time the at their direction. lauren: and you haven't found anything out yet, right? because it takes a few weeks to go through the results of these tests? >> we take samples when people arrive, and we send it off to an off-site lab. it might take a couple days. lauren: dr. fauci was on fox business earlier speak to neil cavuto the. the this is what he had to say about pcr testing. >> this particular variant gives a certain signature on a pcr test, neil, so that even if you don't specifically look for this variant, when you do the a standard pcr, it has a certain signature that something is missing in the binding of this particular primer that we say when you coa molecular test. the good news about that is that the standard pcrs that we use will pick it up. lauren: and that was my question. i wasn't sure because it's constantly changing. there's so much we don't know. are a the boosters, are the vaccines, are they able to hold up against this variant, and are the tests able

jonathan serrie is in atlanta. jonathan, do we know how the patient is doing? reporter: david, the san francisco health care says the patient recovers but continues to self-quarantine as a precaution. the person became ill after returning to california from recent travel to south africa. then immediately got tested. the patient had a mild case but it did not require hospitalization. >> this is not a surprise. for those of you have been following this we knew that omicron was going to be here. we thought it was already here. we just hadn't detected it yet. so this is cause for concern but it is also certainly not a cause for us to panic. reporter: federal health officials are urging americans to get booster shots. the theory, higher level of antibodies that boosters produce will create a level of spill over protection against omicron even though current vaccines are designed for the original wuhan strain of the coronavirus. the san francisco patient had received two doses of the moderna vaccine but no booster. however dr. anthony fauci cautions there are limits
