WEBVTT NOTE recognizability 0.939 NOTE language en-us 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:06.740 For the max face the nation we want to go now to governor 00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:11.540 asa hutchinson of arkansas who is also the vice chair of the national guard that 00:00:11.540 --> 00:00:17.860 national governors association he joins us from little rock a morning to you governor. 00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:22.180 Good morning barbara good to be with you I'm glad we have you today to talk about 00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:27.080 the vaccine and distribution I want to quickly ask you something though on the political 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:31.680 front as a republican nearly a quarter of senate republicans say 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:36.180 they have concerns about voter integrity and plan on wednesday to challenge joe 00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:38.940 biden electoral college win this is to 00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:43.860 be very clear all but certain to fail in terms of changing the outcome of the 00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:46.270 ...but other republican center 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:52.750 say this is destructive to do in the first-place where you stand. 00:00:52.750 --> 00:00:56.710 Well, it's...process that they have the right to 00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:01.660 initiate I think it's a little bit of a don kyoto the gaussian at 00:01:01.660 --> 00:01:05.560 ...males efforts I think it is designed it certainly 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:10.300 will fail joe biden is our president elected he'll be confirmed 00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:14.180 in that capacity I do think...from a state 00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:19.170 perspective the challenges have been initiated through recount 00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:23.650 same court challenges and that's how we work in our electoral college 00:01:23.650 --> 00:01:28.440 state-by-state so when it gets to congress is really a limited opportunity 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.380 to review of the intricacies of the election process we should 00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:38.180 have confidence in what has been done and the reviews and the recounts 00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:43.540 and let's all recognize that while the system is not perfect 00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:49.020 it worked state-by-state and we should accept those results and move on 00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:54.490 to do some good things for our country so I understand you do not support that effort thank you 00:01:54.490 --> 00:01:57.010 ...your clarification their governor I want to move on to the 00:01:57.010 --> 00:02:01.880 virus the cdc says arkansas has only distributed a third of the vaccines that you 00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:08.220 have been given what's the biggest challenge getting the doses into arms. 00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:13.440 Well, the number of challenges and, we've got to do better both...the federal land at the 00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:18.350 state-level...one of the challenges is that we have a limited supply 00:02:18.350 --> 00:02:20.540 and when you have a limited supply? 00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:24.810 That means you've got to prioritize and you've got to make sure you're given 00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:29.840 it to those with the greatest needs are those are the greatest risk and that's a challenge in 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.870 ...of itself secondly you do have some reluctance and that 00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:37.800 creates some complications we're focusing on our long-term care 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.900 facilities and that has to have consensus in many instances 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:47.840 and that slows up the process but even with fat we have to do better 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.930 we have to act with a sense of urgency and, 00:02:51.930 --> 00:02:57.620 we can do that we have to learn whenever you're in a battle that you have 00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:02.450 to adjust to the circumstances of that battle and right now we're going 00:03:02.450 --> 00:03:07.040 to have to make some adjustments in the plan to get these vaccines out what you heard the head of 00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:11.970 operation works feeds say that they were working under the assumption that there is a plan 00:03:11.970 --> 00:03:16.820 in place to immunize at the state-level was there not a plan in arkansas 00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:23.350 ...that seems to be the implication here...it is the governors who are dropping the ball. 00:03:23.350 --> 00:03:23.670 The other 00:03:23.670 --> 00:03:28.700 hand there is a plan and that plan has been coordinated at the federal level but let 00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:33.910 me lay it out for you and phase one we're supposed to be doing our health 00:03:33.910 --> 00:03:38.860 care workers and we're doing our long-term care facilities residences staff 00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:43.740 the federal government allocates that based on where we wanted to go with 00:03:43.740 --> 00:03:48.560 the working through the pharmacies and they made a contract with walgreens and 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.030 ...cbs two major chain pharmacies but the states can are 00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:57.830 the local long-term care facilities can opt out sixty percent of ours 00:03:57.830 --> 00:04:02.790 opted out for independent pharmacies they're doing a better job of getting it out 00:04:02.790 --> 00:04:07.100 than the chain pharmacies are acting with more urgency 00:04:07.100 --> 00:04:11.920 so that's an example of where I've learned that whenever you look now 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:16.480 at the challenges with a specific population what is going to be like we 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.000 move to essential workers and whenever we...the general population we're going 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.130 to have to utilize more resources to get this out...we've got 00:04:24.130 --> 00:04:28.640 ...right now what are the other states told you is there difficulty is 00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:33.660 that all the same that you're laying out the problems of the nursing homes. 00:04:33.660 --> 00:04:39.360 Yes, it is the challenge of the work staff the fact that we 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.910 don't have enough right now for nurses we have to utilize 00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:49.680 our pharmacies because they have the capability and relationships to get it out but 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.200 we're going to have to look more broadly. 00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:56.930 At how to utilize more resources whether it is a 00:04:56.930 --> 00:05:01.240 utilizing medical personnel that's already strained in terms of our national 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.440 guardwhether it is bringing on pharmaceutical students that 00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:11.500 can do more in terms of given these vaccinations that we've got increase 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:16.460 the capacity of our human resources you have the world's largest 00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:23.750 retailer headquartered in your home state a massive logistics have you...walmart to help you out? 00:05:23.750 --> 00:05:32.240 A walmart is ready to help visiting that...prime is aware that this... 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.920 The private-sector is varying days a private-sector is doing it both the 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.070 independent pharmacies as well as the chain pharmacies so the 00:05:41.070 --> 00:05:45.410 ...ankle...never nurses you. 00:05:45.410 --> 00:05:48.050 The federal government is giving directly to the 00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:51.520 ...all we're doing as a state is telling where it goes 00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:55.880 in allocated by delivery is directly to the private-sector and 00:05:55.880 --> 00:06:00.230 they'regetting it out but not as fast as we would like so 00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:05.090 it's a partnership and you're going to see these numbers increase dramatically 00:06:05.090 --> 00:06:09.300 in the next week ten days I believe by the end of january you'll have all of 00:06:09.300 --> 00:06:14.470 one a vaccinated and will be move on...essential workers if not sooner than 00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:19.260 that okay I...that because the head of operation...said allocation came down to what the 00:06:19.260 --> 00:06:23.110 governors ask for where they told them to send it so it just continues to be 00:06:23.110 --> 00:06:28.320 ...wrong here so, on the federal guidance out now...is say in the same thing 00:06:28.320 --> 00:06:32.690 margaret saying the same thing we're allocating where it goes they 00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:38.440 ...to where we say microsoft to the private-sector right now ok the federal government 00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:43.200 right now is telling states to prioritize people seventy five-years-old and up along with 00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:47.230 front-line workers...state governors florida texas who have 00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:51.870 move the age of qualification downwards right to hit more of 00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:58.980 their elderly population are you going to do that we're going to stick with the federal government telling detail? 00:06:58.980 --> 00:07:03.460 We're looking at reducing their to seventy as well the 00:07:03.460 --> 00:07:08.060 argument that it should be allocated seventy five and, 00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:13.060 up first is because there's a limited supply it might be easier for you to 00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:18.400 distribute it and know exactly who you're distributed...but this seventy and, 00:07:18.400 --> 00:07:22.480 population we're looking at...trying to save lives 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.660 getting into the most vulnerable first so we're still looking at that as to where 00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:33.110 ...should be lowered that decision will be forthcoming so you may endorse what governors added 00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:36.130 ...de santos are doing. 00:07:36.130 --> 00:07:40.170 We're looking at that and it may happenwe're also looking at some other 00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:45.160 modifications to the recommendation the cdc which is simply recommendations to the 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:49.320 governor's okay governor hutchison thank you very much and good luck to you 00:07:49.320 --> 00:07:57.880 thank you order will be right back...former fda commissioner...that leaves stay with us. 00:07:57.880 --> 00:08:00.410 We want to go and...a former fda commissioner doctor stuck 00:08:00.410 --> 00:08:06.800 ...leave he's also on the board that pfizer he joins us from westport connecticut good morning to you. 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:12.400 For you said january is going to be the hardest month I'm looking at 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:14.330 this slower than expected roll-out 00:08:14.330 --> 00:08:18.790 and this new strain of corona virus does all this come together to 00:08:18.790 --> 00:08:25.600 mean that the peak will be extended that this is going to be painful for a longer period. 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.970 It's possible you know, we were hoping that we have more injections and people's arms at this 00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:34.050 point in the vaccine could be starting to have an impact on a trajectory of the epidemic 00:08:34.050 --> 00:08:37.840 in the new variant certainly creates more risk that this epidemic 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.800 p could get extended we're going to see the epidemic probably peek at some point this 00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:46.910 month hopefully earlier in the month I mean that was the original estimates the original modeling but 00:08:46.910 --> 00:08:51.950 the lag in terms of the effect on health care system is going to be about three weeks so the health 00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:56.770 care systems not going to see maximal resource utilization toll closer to the end of the 00:08:56.770 --> 00:09:01.310 month and that's more likely to see the peak number of deaths on a daily basis as well so we 00:09:01.310 --> 00:09:06.200 still have a ways to go with this current surge of this epidemic until we start to see cases 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:11.460 decline hospitalization start to decline and hopefully...start to decline a new variant does 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:16.820 ...of risk however that we start to see accelerated spread what new risks doctor 00:09:16.820 --> 00:09:20.190 slide we said that it seems the vaccines do work 00:09:20.190 --> 00:09:24.850 against it what risks are you seeing. 00:09:24.850 --> 00:09:29.330 Well, we're not vaccinating quickly enough to create a back stop against the spread of this new variant right 00:09:29.330 --> 00:09:34.120 now there's some estimates that new variant probably represents about one percent of all infections in 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:39.260 this country by march it's going to be the majority of infections is going to grow quickly so one 00:09:39.260 --> 00:09:44.420 of the real key to controlling this new variant is to control the epidemic that means doing the 00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:48.940 things that we've been doing mask wearing social distancing but also means getting more people 00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:51.990 vaccine quickly I think that the existence of this new variant 00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:56.710 of spreads more readily really creates more urgency around trying to get this vaccine out 00:09:56.710 --> 00:09:59.580 more quickly and get more people vaccinated even if it's 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:04.240 more general population there's a lot of excess demand for the vaccine right now particularly in 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.590 the elderly population I think we ought to think about moving quickly through these phases that we've 00:10:08.590 --> 00:10:13.550 delineated and move more quickly into a general vaccination program for those sixty five and 00:10:13.550 --> 00:10:16.940 above I thought was interesting governor hutchinson sort of 00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:21.790 ...into that concept saying they were looking at what the governors of florida and texas have done 00:10:21.790 --> 00:10:24.060 of making this available to other 00:10:24.060 --> 00:10:29.370 age populations at this point would you ask of other governors to 00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:34.340 do that because governor de santos was really kind ofhit hard 00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:39.090 by images of long lines of older people waiting it didn't seem to be 00:10:39.090 --> 00:10:45.740 moving quickly in terms of vaccinations though he widened the number of people qualify for it? 00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:50.310 Well, I think we can have a dual strategy here we contained prioritize certain hard to reach communities and 00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:55.500 have public health departments focus on that mission...uniquely skill to do that mission 00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:59.990 ...make the vaccine more generally available through the retail pharmacies to walmart and 00:10:59.990 --> 00:11:04.820 walgreens and cds to a broader population to a general population starting with 00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:09.750 page we can walk down the age continue make it available for seventy five and above first in seventy above 00:11:09.750 --> 00:11:14.740 ...sixty five and above this fifty million americans sixty five and above a large percentage 00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:18.920 ...probably want to be vaccinated at some point we need to allow supply to meet 00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:23.700 demand here and get...the shots into the arms of the people who really want to get vaccinated 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:28.460 ...going to go out and seek out the vaccination if we're pushing it...the retail pharmacies you're not going to see 00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:33.370 the long lines they're going to have a scheduling system in place and it's going to be a more orderly distribution and 00:11:33.370 --> 00:11:37.770 ...commensurate with that we can have the public health departments focusing on critical mission of 00:11:37.770 --> 00:11:42.370 going into homes reaching harder to access communities people who are more reluctant and 00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:46.720 ...little bit more encouragement to get vaccinated that's some place with a public health establishment can 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.630 really focus on a discernible mission explain that because 00:11:50.630 --> 00:11:55.340 you have operation warp speed saying it is working with the private-sector you had the...with 00:11:55.340 --> 00:12:00.300 the governor of arkansas saying they are working with the private-sector are you saying that 00:12:00.300 --> 00:12:05.560 the private-sector should just take it over at this point? 00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:10.070 Well, look, we've we have forty million vaccines that were delivered in december five 00:12:10.070 --> 00:12:15.040 million were injected into arms at thirty five million vaccine sitting on a shelf somewhere I'm saying that we 00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:19.680 can be delivering these vaccines directly to walmart...new jersey 00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:24.090 they're shipping them through shop right and allow these retail establishments to start opening up 00:12:24.090 --> 00:12:29.050 more general vaccination programs for the broader public instead of working very slowly 00:12:29.050 --> 00:12:33.590 through these preordained phases that we've articulated continued to 00:12:33.590 --> 00:12:38.580 accomplish that mission because it's important but also take some of this excess supply and push it 00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:41.880 through a retail channel to the general public if someone 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:45.260 we seven-years-old or sixty five-years-old wants...schedule an 00:12:45.260 --> 00:12:49.970 appointment cbs to get a vaccination they should be able to do that this month so I think we should 00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:55.210 start working through the age brackets and just work our way down...work of some of 00:12:55.210 --> 00:12:58.450 ...there's more vexing coming on the market every day we're going to 00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:01.820 have significant backlog right now or, 00:13:01.820 --> 00:13:06.920 you know,...inventories of vaccines and that's tragic because these could be accomplishing 00:13:06.920 --> 00:13:10.180 important public health purpose right it looks operation works speeds 00:13:10.180 --> 00:13:14.630 ...stockpiling half more than half of the supply that they have 00:13:14.630 --> 00:13:19.320 what about vaccine hesitancy the governor of ohio said sixty percent of nursing home 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.430 staff members offer the vaccine in his state declined it you're seeing 00:13:23.430 --> 00:13:31.400 similar hesitancy elsewhere these are medical personnel and healthcare staff? 00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:35.800 Yeah, but, that's another reason to be making this more generally accessible it is a reality that 00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.990 some people aren't going to want to get backs nato...to be reluctant to get vaccine is going to take more work there's about a 00:13:40.990 --> 00:13:45.120 hundred fifty million americans get back safer flew each year about sixty million or under the age 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:49.780 of fifteen that's about ninety million people who get vaccinated for...I think that's your low-hanging fruit 00:13:49.780 --> 00:13:54.460 forgetting covert vaccinations out some high proportion of people get a flu vaccine are also going to 00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:59.220 get code vaccine if we just simply make this generally accessible to sixty five 00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:04.110 above this month that's fifty million americans probably about thirty million of them will take it that's 00:14:04.110 --> 00:14:08.670 your low-hanging fruit that's the pent-up demand we need to start working that off because trying to push 00:14:08.670 --> 00:14:11.160 it into...discrete populations 00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:15.980 you're going to be bumping up against people who don't want it and it's going to create friction it's going to create 00:14:15.980 --> 00:14:20.150 a slowdown in trying to get this vaccination...we need to get more people vaccine quickly 00:14:20.150 --> 00:14:24.850 recognized that every vaccination at this point really is a public health win all right doctor 00:14:24.850 --> 00:14:26.330 godly thank you for your analysis. 00:14:27.430 --> 00:14:31.940 Will be back in a moment? 00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:33.680 We turn now to join jenkins she's 00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:37.260 the ceo of the american association of retired persons, you know, 00:14:37.260 --> 00:14:42.110 ...is aarp changes that...headquarters in washington this morning good morning to you 00:14:42.110 --> 00:14:44.590 ...way margaret december was a 00:14:44.590 --> 00:14:48.860 very deadly month during this pandemonium particularly for nursing home 00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:54.200 residents the federal government plan is to have pharmacies like cds and 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:59.170 walgreen setup clinics to vaccinate inside of these facilities 00:14:59.170 --> 00:15:04.900 ...it started about thirty six stage just this past week is it moving fast enough well I 00:15:04.900 --> 00:15:09.520 think by every...questionable that it has not move fast enough that, 00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:13.180 you know, forty percent of the people who have died in this country live in nursing 00:15:13.180 --> 00:15:18.490 homes so we see this really as an unconscionable national disaster 00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:23.100 that three hundred fifty thousand people in this country has died from 00:15:23.100 --> 00:15:27.290 ...nineteen and forty percent of them have lived in nursing homes or work 00:15:27.290 --> 00:15:31.490 in nursing homes and yet they only represent one percent of the population 00:15:31.490 --> 00:15:37.820 so no we're not moving fast enough I didn't hear a lot of specifics from 00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:42.370 the governor or from the head of operation were speed on what they want to change 00:15:42.370 --> 00:15:47.110 and I'm wondering from you what your view is because we did hear earlier in the week from 00:15:47.110 --> 00:15:51.970 operation warp speed saying that some nursing homes aren't vaccinating until 00:15:51.970 --> 00:15:53.910 they have enough doses for everyone 00:15:53.910 --> 00:16:00.360 in the facility that's a federal requirement should the government suspended. 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:05.360 I think that,... if you look at the data and the fact that that's where people are dying 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:10.330 you have to come to the conclusion that they should be doing everything that they can to be at mit 00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:14.440 are string this vaccine as soon as possible I know that 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.290 ...two-point-two million doses that have gone out to nursing homes and yet 00:16:19.290 --> 00:16:24.360 only thirteen percent of that has been administered so we have to find a solution and, 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.360 you know, we need to stop pointing fingers and that and you know, 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.020 looking at who and who's to blame and really all of us whether it's 00:16:32.020 --> 00:16:35.360 mayors are governors or the federal or 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:40.190 governors all across this country to really try to fix this problem so that...yes they should 00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:45.200 ...that requirement absolutely yes at the state-level you heard 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.840 a debate about whether the age qualification should be 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.820 lowered more quickly like it has been in texas and in florida would you ask 00:16:53.820 --> 00:16:59.600 other governors to do that well I think if you look at the data of where people are dying 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.760 and if in fact we can stop people from dying of kobe we know that will 00:17:04.760 --> 00:17:09.600 offer some relief to the hospitals all across this country we have examples that 00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:12.860 ...from thousands of our members particularly like those in 00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:17.800 florida who are standing in lines of three four hundred of them 00:17:17.800 --> 00:17:23.520 it three and four o'clock in the morning trying to get that vaccination I think that we 00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:28.430 have to really solve this issue and really come together show that there is 00:17:28.430 --> 00:17:35.070 some standard for which the states and the localnursing homes know-how they're going 00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:40.170 to get this vaccine and what is your supposed to be doing there's confusion I mean I know people who do 00:17:40.170 --> 00:17:45.120 ...where...sign-out when I qualify what do you tell your members do they call 00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:50.640 the doctor do they get an email who they ask their local health department? 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.180 Well, I think one of the things that we tried to do it aarp is, you know, 00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:58.380 we have a repeat...are slash corona...where we're listing 00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:02.950 everything that we have from the states about what how the vaccine the priorities 00:18:02.950 --> 00:18:07.320 ...of the states how they're going to be to get their vaccinations clearly we're 00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:11.190 ...directly from our members at their confused about whether or not they should be 00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:15.660 calling their physician whether or not someone's going to contact them which of the 00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:21.450 vaccine should they be trying to take if they live in rule...urban city just how that's going to 00:18:21.450 --> 00:18:25.820 happen and I think that there could be some simple clarity and transparency 00:18:25.820 --> 00:18:30.430 about what is to be expected the time frame that individuals all 00:18:30.430 --> 00:18:35.360 across this country should be thinking about clearly we need to keep up the protections of 00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:40.170 ...masking washing our hands and doing all those things we should let our guard down but, 00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:44.760 there needs to be further clarity about and, expectations said about 00:18:44.760 --> 00:18:49.850 win this vaccines are going to be the administrator widely do you think that staff 00:18:49.850 --> 00:18:52.290 a nursing home should be mandated to take the vaccine? 00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:58.690 Well, I think that the data tells us that that's where the desks or occurring and 00:18:58.690 --> 00:19:03.070 that for patients and people who work in nursing homes they need to 00:19:03.070 --> 00:19:08.020 be protected in a way but clearly it's not it's not ours to the update of the 00:19:08.020 --> 00:19:13.570 ...would have to mandate that right is that what you're asking governors to do well I think that we're say to the 00:19:13.570 --> 00:19:18.510 governor said that this is a way to bring it under control and that while 00:19:18.510 --> 00:19:22.400 ...a...don't have the authority to mandate this 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.520 that this is one of the one of the only ways that we had that we know that this particular 00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:32.140 code nineteen disease can be brought under control it may come down to 00:19:33.170 --> 00:19:36.220 ...jenkins thank you very much 00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:39.710 ...for sharing what
