The issue of physical separation is important. Masks can help. But it is masks plus physical separation and when we get congregations like we saw with the demonstrations as we have said, myself and other Health Officials that is taking a risk. Unfortunately what we are seeing now is an example of the types of things we were concerned about. I would not be surprised that members of the congregation that were there demonstrating could also be infected and many of them will go back to where they were because not everyone was demonstrating in the city where they live. Theyve come from the outside. It is the kinds of things we are concerned about and unfortunately we are seeing it come true right now. When you are developing vaccines, there is never a guarantee you are going to have a safe and effective vaccine. I am confident about how well the process is continuing and the development of more than one candidate. In the testing in animals and phase one in humans looks promising making me cautiously optimistic. As we go into the early summer we will be in advanced Clinical Trials in one and close to maybe three or more candidates. Hopefully by the time we get to the middle of fall if the process goes well we will have enough information to make a decision whether the vaccine is safe and effective. That means if we are in good shape and that happens we could have a vaccine either by the end of the calendar year or in the first few months of 2021. That is the thing that makes me feel that the process is really on track. That is good news, again, in the context of never being able to guarantee success things are clearly going in the right direction. We have a very large country. The dynamics of infection really differ from a region, state, city, town, county. So the School Opening would really have to be dictated by the degree and the dynamics of infection in the community. There will be some communities in which the infection rate and dynamic is extremely low so that schools can open with little risk. There may be other areas that you might want to modify the school situation. There are a number of creative ways to do that which the authorities figured out. Stagger the classes or keep people separated. It depends on the status of the location in which you act. You dont want to make a unidimensional decision about the entire country. You have to look at where you are and what the dynamics of the infection are. Dont we love dr. Fauci . He explains everything very well. We love you dr. Fauci.
