Were taking an ominous turn. Lets go to Jackie Deangelis following all of this and some of the restrictions being put in place to respond to this. Jackie. Reporter good afternoon to you, neil. Thats right. The market is lower because of spike in cases. Weve been talking about pretty much all week. That is after we got the news pfizer or biontech come to stronger conclusion on their vaccine it would be 90 effective. There are still so many questions about this. Today on mornings with maria the biontech founder talked about the vaccine, how long it might protect people. Roughly a year or so listen. Theres a good chance that the vaccine not only will protect us but could protect from infection or virulent infection for a significant period of time. I personally expect that the vaccine could protect us with, with protocol for a year. If we learn we need to reimmunize. We could do that after one year.
