I know not one person will have all the answers, but you have most of the answers in trying to explain the thinking, rationale behind every decision that you guys make. And it sound like youre the the rationale you have may be different next week as we see things evolve, in particular, the capacity to make sure that the supply chain is going to be stable. One quick question. I heard that the soma site was a walkin and that had a closed dome, so was is closed down. Was it closed down. It is open now. It was open as of yesterday.

There were no problems that were insurmountable and they were able to quickly resolve them and open it again f
Increasing the number of testing platforms we now have multiple tests for different platforms increasing ability to collect samples increasing testing and Laboratory Supplies and ensuring that we Work Together to make sure that every client receives the tasks that they need this is added with timely monitoring simple systems and what i mean by that systems where we bring together the ability to not only diagnose the symptomatic but progress proactively and interactively work with individuals that we know are at higher risk we worked with states to look at where the outbreaks have occurred when theyre not in the large metros and we see that it occurs very often in places close settings among our native americans and among our Long Term Care facilities so an active Monitoring Program thats active integrated and innovated and then combining us with the 3rd element which is the Rapid Response program relying on c.

A nationwide lockdown. And as new zealand says it eliminated the virus and restrictions eased officials warn against complacency. The World Health Organization has warned that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over and that it could indirectly harm the lives of millions of children who are missing out on vital vaccinations for other Infectious Diseases but says 21 countries are already reporting shortages of some vaccines every year more than 116000000. 00 in funds are vaccinated or 86 per cent of all children born globally but there are still more than 13000000. 00 children around the world who missed out on vaccination.

Systems where we bring together act not only diagnose the symptom tick and proactively and interactively work with individuals that we know are higher risks. We look at states where the outbreaks occurred where theyre not in large metros. We see it occurs very often in places of closed settings among our native americans and among our longterm care facilities. So active Monitoring Program thats active, integrated and innovative. Combining us with the third element which is a Rapid Response program relying on cdc working with state and local governments to insure every symptomatic case and critically, asymptomatic cases are quickly tracked and traced so we cannot only control the epidemic but predicts outbreaks before they expand. Finally the plan using approach much science and technology to develop newer platforms, more efficient testing insuring antibody tests utilized an recommended by both the fda and cdc have high quality, predicting ex
Its allies in western media today portraying china as either the victim of disinformation about the wuhan virus or claiming that western nations are using the contagion as distraction from their own policy failures.
