About the well-being of our kids. one of the factors has been the stability in their lives. school is a big part of that. so getting the vast, vast majority, 96% plus of kids back to school in the fall was a really important step. one of the things that ive been saying for a few weeks now is that during this omicron wave, these are going to be tough weeks and theyre going to be emergency decisions that some schools will need to make on pulling back from in-person for a short period of time if th...

Children is in school learning, and the idea that keeping kids out of school reduces their risk is not based on data. what weve seen there across the pandemic so far is that for many children the safest place for them to be is in school, but i do hear that teacher when shes talking about her individual situation, and so a one size fits all approach isnt going to work here. a teacher who is living at home with someone who is at great risk or at markedly increased risk for severe disease, someone ...

The united states, where its not causing surges of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in states across the country? we may get there, but were sure as heck not there yet, and its a combination of the fact that our vaccination numbers are low and were not doing any of those other things that the european countries have put in place so effectively, rapid testing, masks, and so on. >> the proactive aspect of this. what can we put in place starting today -- what can we get in place starting in the ...

Flu season. not just flu season. we have to get rid of some of that stigma. at this point those who are k. get vaccinated are able to. those that can get boosted are able. to say we need to move forward as a society knowing that we have to protect the vulnerable. those that are older and those with pre-existing medical conditions and the rest of the healthy americans the majority of them already have immunity and its time to move forward and that does not mean putting respirators or high quality...

Tests into the hands of every american. but also think about the policies that need to be in place, at a local and state level, to keep populations protected, as well. that is what we need in order to be well prepared for the next variant. >> so what policies can we have that will protect the population? this is such a fast-moving, rapidly changing pandemic, right? >> right, exactly. and so i think that we need data-driven mask policies. if we see cases surging that, you know, we have policies t...

We still have 500,000 cases a day, over 2500 deaths in the u.s. alone every day. were not out of this surge. but we should be focusing on what do we do when the surge starts to pass, when we have that trough. and i think when yourour case s get low enough, we become c comp complacent. but we need to double our efforts, stop the misinformation, invest in schools to increase ventilation. there are so many different things that we need to do when the case numbers start to drop. but were not quirt t...

>> the reason i say we cant predict, we cant predict the timing or the features of the next will be, but confident well have future variants. lets begin to prepare and we know the tools. right, lets make sure theres plenty of tests available. right now, theres still a supply-demand mismatch. too many people cant get a test. lets make sure theres widespread masking available and make sure we meet improvements in indoor ventilation. the indoor air quality is safer, and obviously, lets keep working...
