BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: What does it mean to you when we have coronavirus death toll deniers operating in high, in the highest levels of government?</s>TOM FRIEDEN, FORMER CDC DIRECTOR: Well, if you look at some of the so- called controversies, I'm made more confident, I have optimism when I see what people are doing. The vast majority of people are wearing masks when they're near other people. The vast majority of people understand this is a serious pandemic. And it's not about health verses economy. We have to ignore the pandemic so we can get our jobs back. Just the opposite. We all want to get back to work in person. Our kids back in school. We can do that by controlling the virus. The virus is not going to respond to spin. It's going to respond to a science-based approach that keeps us all safer.</s>KEILAR: Dr. Frieden, thanks for being with us.</s>FRIEDEN: Thank you so much.</s>KEILAR: And next, a new report suggesting the Trump administration held back its own intel report about Russia spreading misinformation ahead of the election. I'll be asking the former Homeland Security secretary, Janet Napolitano, about that. Plus, breaking news on a Russian opposition leader. The German government saying today that there's no question that he was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent.
