We also discussed the new headline about a vaccine. Dr. Ribeiro, lets start with the new study that shows that kids can spread covid19 even when theyre asymptomatic. The cdc looked at day cares. What did they find . Well, i think what they found is not terribly surprising. They had an episode in utah that they tracked where kids spread the virus, asymptomatic and symptomatic children spread the virus to adults, and i think this is consistent with what weve seen in the past. This should be more confirmation that kids can spread the virus and i think as far as a takeaway we say kids should be socially distancing too, kids should be Wearing Masks and when were looking at is schools and daycare centers, these can be huge correctors of Community Spread of the disease if we dont set them up correctly. One other study making news concerning antibodies. This is out of pittsburgh. Whats the takeaway here . When you get a virus or a bacteria your body produces molecules that attack it that are called antibodies, and there are a lot of diseases that we can treat by creating molecules that mimic those antibodies. And thats basically what they have done here. Now, unfortunately, those types of treatments tend to be pretty expensive and hard to produce, though they have a few innovations that might make this a little easier to administer than typical antibody treatments. And the top vaccine producer in the world said it could take until 2024 to vaccinate everyone if we need two doses of the vaccine. Does this concern you . What are you most concerned about when it comes to distributing the vaccine . So this is definitely conc important wakeup call, i think. What its going to take is investment. Even right now, not on the order of millions of dollars, but probably billions of dollars to scale up the ability to manufacture and distribute this vaccine. And then the other thing its going to take is a lot of coordination, both on the national and the international level. Where those are distributed is going to have a big impact on the spread of the virus and it should be done strategically and based on, you know, Public Health expertise. Our thanks to dr.
