>> you've had a big push on the private sector in terms of mandates. i want to get to infrastructure. i have a quick question. do you believe the federal government's communication particularly over the last couple of weeks has been helpful or harmful to what you're trying to do in your state? >> i've now worked with two presidential administrations and believe that we have been able to work well with both of them. i give credit for communication generally to both. the trump administration certainly helping to create this vaccine. the biden administration for increasing the pace of vaccinations more so than i ever thought was possible. it was incredible. but recent communication coming out of the cdc and other areas really needs to improve. it makes us all kind of feel like we're in a whiplash and it doesn't have to, right? we have to change our approach because the virus changes. the variant changes. and just like any war, and this is a war, we've lost 7300 people
