YOUR >>> IN A RACE TO FIGHT A VACCINE THAT WROTE THE PRESIDENT AND A VICE PRESIDENT TO NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK . PHASE 3 FOR TWO'S PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES THE PRESSURE IS ON TO HAVE A VACCINE BY THE END OF THE YEAR . BOB INGRAM BOLD JOINS US NOW LIVE TO TALK ABOUT THE STRIDES WE ARE WITNESSING, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US .'S BOK EARLIER WEIRD CHATTING YOUR TELLING ME WE ARE IN A CENTER OF HOPE, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IN OUR RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK AREA WHICH MAKES US SO DESERVING OF ATTENTION? >> I THINK THE VISITS ARE FURTHER VALIDATION THAN NORTH CAROLINA AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE TRIANGLE ARE CENTERS OF HOPE AND WE ARE ONE OF THE KEY PREMIER CORE CENTERS OF AMERICA THE HAVE A CONCENTRATION OF OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS LIKE DUKE, WAKE FOREST, THE GREAT TEACHING MEDICAL SCHOOLS AND TEACHING HOSPITALS . THE TRIANGLE ITSELF IS A GLOBAL CENTER LETTER IN THE PAST AND A HOST OF OTHERS . AND THEN WE HAVE A GROWING BIOTECH COMMUNITY HERE . THE GREAT THING THAT WE SEE BOTH HERE AND IN NORTH CAROLINA, NATIONALLY AND GLOBALLY IS UNPRECEDENTED COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALL THREE OF THOSE COMMUNITIES . THE ACADEMIC, GOVERNMENT, NIH PARTICULARLY LED BY DR. FAUCI AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE . AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR ALL COLLABORATING . I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE REASONS YOU ARE SEEING A GROWING OPTIMISM THAT WE CAN HAVE A VACCINE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR . >> WHAT ARE YOU HEARING ABOUT THAT LIKELIHOOD THAT WE COULD HAVE A VACCINE BY THE END OF THE YEAR? BOK MY SOURCES AND CONTACTS ARE INCREASINGLY UP DOMESTIC, DEBRA .  OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, NOBODY IS CELEBRATING YET BUT THE FACT THEY WE NOW HAVE TWO AND POSSIBLY SEVERAL MORE OF THESE VACCINE CANDIDATES ENTERING PHASE 3 TRIALS IS REALLY REMARKABLE . IT WAS ONLY THREE MONTHS AGO THAT THE SAME VACCINE CANDIDATES WERE IN PHASE 1 . I THINK IT'S TESTAMENT TO THE COMMITMENT AND COLLABORATION OF THESE SCIENTISTS WORKING TOGETHER AND WORKING LITERALLY AROUND THE CLOCK THAT WE HAVE TWO CANDIDATES AND MORE TO COME IN PHASE 3 TRIALS . >> CAN YOU GIVE US SOME INSIGHT INTO CONVERSATIONS FROM THE TASK FORCE, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN OR AREA PROMISE? BOK THE AREA PROMISE IS CLEARLY THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE 25 VACCINE CANDIDATES IN HUMAN TRIALS . MANY OF THEM ARE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY THROUGH THOSE VARIOUS PHASES WHICH ARE THE LARGE HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS . I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED AS FAR AS KEY THINGS THAT WE MUST BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS AND SOLVE, OUR LOGISTICS . WHEN WE DO GET A VACCINE APPROVED WE HAVE TO BE READY TO SOLVE THE SUPPLIED CHAIN CHALLENGES AND CERTAINLY AT A MACRO LEVEL THERE IS A GROWING CONSENSUS ACROSS ALL PARTIES THAT MORE AND MORE WE NEED TO BRING THE SUPPLY CHAIN BACK TO AMERICA AND THAT IS UNDERWAY . IN ADDITION TO THAT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT VACCINES YOU HAVE REFRIGERATION ISSUES, LOGISTICAL ISSUES IN TERMS OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE UNITED STATES AND CERTAINLY ON A GLOBAL BASIS . I THINK PEOPLE ARE NOT ONLY AWARE OF THOSE ISSUES BUT ARE REALLY WORKING TOGETHER TO PUT IN PLACE PLANS TO ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES . >> WE APPRECIATE THE INSIGHT BECAUSE YOU ARE PART OF THE SMARTEST MINDS TO SOLVING THESE ISSUES . LIKE YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND ALL YOU ARE DOING

I'm meteorologist, Kat Campbell in the wr a severe weather center. No more thirties in the forecast and we don't have a frost threat tonight so you can leave your plants be, temperatures are falling into the upper forties to lower fifties overnight. We've got a different wind direction and some more clouds that will fill in by daybreak tomorrow at the bus stop, it'll be in the low to mid fifties for most of the kids out there. So a mild start, but you may want to send your kids to school with an umbrella because by the time they head home, some of us are going to be dealing with a chance for rain during the afternoon. It's all due to this cold front. Approaching from the northwest. There's not a lot of moisture for the front to work with, but just enough and enough lift to squeeze out some rain. I think that rain chances would start in our northwestern counties around 11 a.m. through lunchtime. And then that chance is really closer to, to three o'clock here in the triangle. But that might be when the kids are heading home as we get toward 456. It would be south and east of the triangle with the best chance for rain. Rocky Mount, Southern Pines. I'm thinking you'll be in that 3 to 5 p.m. time frame for rain. It's not going to be a very heavy rain. There is a small chance of a thunderstorm embedded, but most of us will just see some pretty light rain. In fact, models are showing less than 5/100 of an inch of rain. So very tiny rainfall amounts from this event. We do have the Durham Bulls in town this week. And luckily the forecast looks good for all of their home games. First pitch is at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We've just got wonderful baseball weather. Temperatures will be near 70 for the first pitches and the rain should be over in Durham, the triangle by the time we get to dinner time for tomorrow evening, which means it's likely to be a dry game for us. Your seven day forecast show, some big changes are on the way though. We've got 74 for the high Wednesday with chance for rain Thursday just 72. So a small dip in our high temperatures more noticeable at night though we fall into the upper forties Thursday night to Friday morning, we're going with 47 as the low Friday morning around the triangle. And then once we get to the weekend temperatures begin to rebound. However, that will come with an increasing cloud cover mostly cloudy Saturday and Sunday. But back in the eighties by Sunday and even warmer next week, highs could climb near 90 a week from today.
