School district . What should be the next steps . This is perhaps an instructive case. This is one of the first School Districts in the country to open to facetoface instruction. I would say it shouldnt be surprising they had a number of positive cases right off the bat. I think thats going to be the case all across the country. Then unfortunately what happened is because they did not really have social distancing measures in place, they did not have universal masking. Cases were very, very high. So i think lessons to be learned here are, if youre a School District looking to have inface, inperson instruction, its so important to make sure that you have social distancing in place, that you have masking. That way when those positive cases come, the number of exposures will be much lower. I think the second big lesson is that really, every school needs to have a plan for online instruction. Because as weve seen in this School District, you may rapidly have a need to convert to online instruction. Dr. Ribiera, a new study shows teenagers and young adults who vape are five times more likely to be diagnosed with covid19. What does this tell us about the virus . Theres a couple of reasons this could be. First, youve got a device that will require you to touch your face, maybe go outside, perhaps share devices with people. Thats going to increase your risk of exposure. Then perhaps more importantly, any time that you are breathing in something that your airways are not used to, youre going to have microscopic damage, irritation thats going to provide inroads for the virus. Is might be a good time to ape, quit. Lastly, the Trump Administration has announced that wait times for covid19 test results are coming down significantly, saying nearly 90 of all tests are being completed within three days. Are you yourself seeing any improvements . So id say we are seeing some improvements. But this statement in particular, from what i understand, is based on estimates of the major labs, for what they expect will happen over the coming weeks. I would say if that turns out to be true, that is a fine start. Again, an average of under three days, if it happens, is really just a start. Because that means theres still going to be many parts of the country where for them, the average is much higher. We know there are still many parts the country where they dont have enough capacity to test any except the very sickest patients. And really, you cant build a Robust Public Health response on a testing infrastructure like that. Our thanks to dr. Ribiera.

Reporter deborah roberts, abc news. Our thanks to deborah roberts. I think this is a sensitive issue, as pepsico said.

It was a very interesting time when we were in college at howard in the 80s. The first africanamerican woman became miss america. And it was an event because it was groundbreaking. It was something that we had never seen before. The cosby show came on during that time. And the opportunity to see educated professionals in a functional family was a new phenomenon on television.

The one thing that stands out is shes the friend that listens to you. Kamalas mother is indian and her father was jamaican. She was part of a global conversation around race and identity at an early age. And i think that she had to learn how to become very secure within herself. She just really grew up in a very multicultural environment. But her mother raised her and maya as black women, because thats what they were. And it was a very intentful upbringing. And kamala really was proud of it. Shyamala, kamalas mother, who was one of the leading scientists in this country if not the world for cancer research, she taught kamala to be great in who you are.

An important signal joe biden is sending not just to the Democratic Party but to the base of the country about where the country stands at this moment, recognizing that we are at a time of racial turmoil, looking.
