JUSTICE RUTH BADER
GINSBURG
%-WAS
HONORED
AS
THE
FIRST
WOMAN
%-TO
LIE
IN
STATE
AT
THE
U.S.
%-CAPITOL TODAY FOLLOWING HER
%-DEATH A WEEK AGO.
%-TOMORROW, PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL
%-ANNOUNCE HIS
PICK
FOR
HER
%-REPLACEMENT.
%-REPUBLICANS WANT TO
VOTE
AHEAD%-OF
THE
ELECTION ON THE
%-PRESIDENT'S
NOMINEE.
%-DEMOCRATS
DECRY
THAT
MOVE,
%-INCLUDING WISCONSIN
SENATOR%-TAMMY BALDWIN WHO
JOINS
US
NOW
%-AND
THANKS VERY MUCH
FOR
BEING
%-HERE.%-ú>>
MY
PLEASURE.
%-THANK
YOU.%->> HOW
POWERFUL WAS
IT
FOR
YOU
%-TO
PAY
YOUR
RESPECTS AT
THE
%-CAPITOL
TO
JUSTICE
GINSBURG?%->>
OH, IT WAS
-- IT
WAS A
LOVELY
%-ARRIVAL
CEREMONY, AND
IT
JUST
%-MADE
ME
REFLECT
ON
HER
LEGACY,
%-ON
HOW
EVERY
DAY
OF
HER
ADULT
%-LIFE
SHE
MOVED
FORWARD IN
THE
%-NAME
OF
JUSTICE.
%-AND
ONE OF THE
SPEAKERS
AT
THE
%-CEREMONY
TALKED ABOUT
THE
%-MEANING OF
THE
WORD --
OR
THE
%-MEANING
THAT RUTH BADER
GINSBURG
%-GAVE
TO
HER
DISSENTS.
%-WHEN SHE WAS
WRITING A
DISSENT,
%-IT
WASN'T
FOR
NOW
OR
THE
PAST.
%-IT
WAS
PROVIDING
THE
ARGUMENTS
%-FOR
THE
FUTURE
SO
THAT WE
COULD
%-KEEP
ON
MARCHING
FORWARD.
%-AND IT WAS
JUST
BEAUTIFUL TO
%-THINK OF
IT
IN
THAT
WAY.%->>
IN
2016 YOU
WANTED
TO
VOTE
%-FOR BARACK
OBAMA'S
NOMINEE
%-BEFORE
THE
ELECTION.
%-WHY THE
SWITCH
NOW?
%->>
WELL,
IN
2016
MITCH
MCCONNELL
%-ANNOUNCED A
NEW
STANDARD: NO
%-VOTES
ON
CONFIRMATION
OF SUPREME
%-COURT
JUSTICES
IN
AN
ELECTION
%-YEAR.
%-BARACK
OBAMA
NOMINATED
MERRICK
%-GARLAND IN
FEBRUARY OF
THE
%-ELECTION
YEAR.
%-NOW THAT
REPUBLICANS
ARE
IN
%-CONTROL OF THE
SENATE AND
THE
%-WHITE
HOUSE,
MITCH
MCCONNELL
%-SAYS
MY
STANDARD
GOES
BY
THE
%-WAYSIDE.
%-THAT'S THE
HEIGHT
OF
HYPOCRISY
%-AND DO
DUPLICITY.
%-IT'S A POWER GRAB.
%-AND
FOR
ME
IT'S
ESPECIALLY
%-MEANINGFUL BECAUSE
I
KNOW
HOW
%-HIGH
THE
STAKES ARE
AT
THE
%-COURT.
%-SEVEN
DAYS AFTER
THE
ELECTION,%-THE COURT
IS
GOING
TO
HEAR A
%-CASE
IN
WHICH PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS
%-ARGUING
FOR
OVERTURNING OF
THE%-AFFORDABLE CARE
ACT
AND
THE
%-PROTECTIONS THAT
PEOPLE
HAVE
IF%-THEY
HAVE A
PREEXISTING
HEALTH
%-CONDITION, THEY
CAN
STILL
GET
%-AFFORDABLE INSURANCE.%-THIS IS
DURING A
PANDEMIC.
%-SO ONE OF
THE
ISSUES
I
KNOW
%-WISCONSINITES
CARE MOST
DEEPLY
%-ABOUT
IS
AT
STAKE
IN
THIS
%-DECISION.
%-I
DISSENT
AND
OBJECT
TO
MITCH
%-MCCONNELL AND
THE
PRESIDENT
%-TRYING TO
DO
THIS
WHILE
%-WISCONSINITES
ARE
ALREADY
%-VOTING.%-IT IS
THE
NEXT PRESIDENT AND
THE
%-NEXT
SENATE
WHO
SHOULD DEAL
WITH
%-THIS
CONFIRMATION.%->> ON
THE
ELECTION, WHAT DO
YOU
%-MAKE
OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAYING
%-HE
COULD
REJECT A
PEACEFUL
%-TRANSFER
OF
POWER
IF
HE
LOSES?
%->> YOU
KNOW,
FOR
ME
IT'S
ANOTHER
%-STEP
IN A
LONG
PATTERN
OF
%-UNDERMINING
OUR
DEMOCRACY.
%-THE IDEA THAT
HE
WOULD
NOT
HEED
%-THE
VOICES OF
THE
PEOPLE
IN A
%-GOVERNMENT
OF,
BY
AND
FOR
THE
%-PEOPLE
IS
OUTRAGEOUS.
%-AND
I
THINK
WE
ALL
MUST
STAND
%-FOR THE
PRINCIPLE
THAT
THE
%-PEOPLE
DECIDE
WHO
OUR
PRESIDENT%-AND VICE PRESIDENT ARE
GOING TO
%-BE.
%-AND, YOU
KNOW, IT WAS
JUST
%-APPALLING TO HEAR
HIM
SAY
THOSE
%-WORDS.%->>
WE
JUST
SPOKE
WITH
WISCONSIN
%-SENATOR RON JOHNSON ABOUT
HIS
%-INVESTIGATION AND REPORT
ON
%-HUNTER
BIDEN.
%-WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE
TO
THAT
%-REPORT?%->>
WELL,
IT
SHOWED
NOTHING,
%-BASICALLY.
%-BUT THE
TIMING AND
USE
OF
%-TAXPAYER
RESOURCES
AND
%-INVESTIGATORY
RESOURCES WHEN
%-WE'RE IN
THE
MIDDLE
OF A
%-PANDEMIC,
WHEN
THEY
OVERSEE THE
%-POSTAL SERVICE AND WE'RE
SEEING
%-HARMFUL DELAYS
IN
THE
DELIVERY
%-OF OUR
MAIL,
THAT
HE'S
JUST
%-RECYCLING OLD
THEORIES
IS A
%-MISUSE
AND
DISRESPECT
OF
%-TAXPAYERS
AND
TAXPAYER
%-RESOURCES.%->> ON
THE
PANDEMIC, HOW
%-COMMITTED ARE
CONGRESSIONAL
%-DEMOCRATS TO
REACHING A
%-COMPREHENSIVE
RELIEF PACKAGE
%-DEAL?%->> IT IS
THE
THING WE SHOULD
BE
%-DOING
RATHER
THAN
GOING
THROUGH
%-CONFIRMATION
HEARINGS
AND
HAVING
%-THIS
REPUBLICAN
POWER
GRAB.
%-IT
IS
EXACTLY
PROVIDING
RELIEF
%-FOR SO MANY
STRUGGLING
%-AMERICANS,
FAMILIES, SMALL
%-BUSINESSES.
%-THAT SHOULD
BE
OUR
SOLE
FOCUS
%-BETWEEN
NOW
AND
ELECTION DAY
AND
%-BEYOND.
%-THE PRESIDENT
SORT OF
WALKED
%-AWAY
FROM THE
NEGOTIATING
TABLE
%-SEVERAL
WEEKS AGO.
%-WE NEED
THE
WHITE
HOUSE
BACK
%-THERE.
%-AND
THE
HARM
THAT'S
BEING
%-EXPERIENCED NOW,
AND
I
JUST
%-SOMETIMES FEEL
AS
THOUGH
MITCH
%-MCCONNELL AND
SOME
OF
MY
%-REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES DO
NOT
%-UNDERSTAND, ARE NOT
IN
TOUCH
%-WITH
THE
REAL
STRUGGLES.
%-AND THE
OTHER
THING
WE'RE
%-TALKING ABOUT PANDEMIC
RELIEF,
%-ECONOMIC
RELIEF AND
STIMULUS,
%-BUT
LET'S
JUST NOTE
THAT
%-WISCONSIN IS
FACING
RECORD
%-NUMBERS
OF
NEW
CORONAVIRUS
CASES
%-NINE MONTHS
INTO
THIS
PANDEMIC,
%-WHICH
ALSO
SHOWS
THE
FAILURE
OF
%-LEADERSHIP OF THIS
PRESIDENT.%->>
I'M
AFRAID
WITH
JUST
ABOUT A
%-MINUTE
LEFT,
YOUR
RESPONSE
TO
%-THE
CHARGING DECISION
IN
THE%-BREONNA TAYLOR
CASE
?
%->> IT
IS
SO
HEART-BREAKING
THAT%-BREONNA TAYLOR'S
LIFE
WAS
TAKEN
%-AND
NOBODY
IS
GOING TO
BE
HELD
%-APPROPRIATELY
ACCOUNTABLE
, IN MY
%-OPINION.
%-I DO
AGREE
WITH
CALLS
TO
OPEN
%-AND
MAKE
PUBLIC
THE
MATERIALS%-THAT
WERE SHARED
WITH
THE
GRAND
%-JURY
SO WE CAN
FIND
OUT
WHETHER
%-THEY
REALLY
GOT
THE
FACTS
AND
%-THE QUESTION
POSED
TO
THEM
THAT
%-WOULD ALLOW
ACCOUNTABILITY
IN
%-THIS
TRAGIC,
TRAGIC
CASE.%->>
WE
LEAVE
IT
THERE.
%-SENATOR TAMMY
BALDWIN,
THANKS
%-VERY
MUCH.%->>
THANK
YOU.
%->>
GOVERNOR TONY
EVERS
THIS WEEK
%-ISSUED A NEW
PUBLIC
HEALTH
%-EMERGENCY AND
EXTENDED
THE
%-STATEWIDE
MASK
MANDATE
AS
%-COVID-19
CASES
IN
WISCONSIN
%-CONTINUE
TO
SURGE,
WITH
STATE
%-HEALTH
OFFICIALS SAYING THE
%-STATE IS
ENTERING A NEW
AND
%-DANGEROUS
PHASE.
%-GOVERNOR EVERS JOINS
US
NOW
AND,
%-GOVERNOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
%-BEING
HERE.
%->> THANK
YOU, FRED REEK CAVMENT%->>
WELL,
YOU
AND
STATE HEALTH
%-OFFICIALS
ARE REALLY
SOUNDING
%-THE ALARM OVER THIS
SURGE
IN
%-CASES.
%-WHAT DO
YOU
SEE
COMING AT
US
IN
%-THIS
NEW
AND
DANGEROUS
PHASE?
%->>
WELL,
WHAT
--
CLEARLY
THE%-UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SYSTEM
%-AND
OTHER
COLLEGES
GOING --
%-BEGINNING THEIR
SCHOOL
YEAR
HAS
%-BROUGHT, YOU
KNOW, A NEW GROUP
%-OF
PEOPLE
TO A DIFFICULT
%-SITUATION.%-I
REMEMBER I
WAS
JUST LAST
WEEK
%-TALKING
TO
DR. BURKS
FROM
THE
%-FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT
AND SHE WAS
%-SAYING
THAT WISCONSIN
IS ONE
OF
%-TWO
STATES
WHERE WE
HAVE
%-COMMUNITY SPREAD
AND
CAMPUS
%-SPREAD
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
%-AND
SO
WE
JUST
HAVE
TO
MAKE SURE
%-THAT
WE'RE
IN A
GOOD
POSITION
TO
%-MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE
THE
%-TESTING IN
PLACE
AND
THE
CONTACT
%-TRACING AND
CLEARLY WE
NEED TO
%-HAVE
THESE MASKS
ON.
%->>
BUT
MEANWHILE
UW-MADISON
THIS
%-WEEK
ANNOUNCED THEY
WOULD
BE
%-REOPENING
TO
CAMPUS ACTIVITY.
%-WHAT CONFIDENCE DO YOU
HAVE
THAT
%-UNIVERSITY
OFFICIALS HERE IN
%-WISCONSIN ARE DOING
THE
RIGHT
%-THING?%->>
WELL,
THEY'RE
SURE WORKING
%-HARD AT IT.
%-AND
WE'VE BEEN
INVOLVED
WITH%-THEM ALL
THE
WAY
ALONG
WITH
%-DEVELOPING
THEIR
PLANS.
%-AND
THEY'VE
BEEN
PRETTY
%-STRINGENT,
QUARANTINING PEOPLE%-IN
THE
DORMS
FOR
TWO
WEEKS
NOW.
%-AND SO
I
FEEL
CONFIDENT
THAT
%-IT'S TIME
TO
SLOWLY
MOVE
INTO A
%-DIFFERENT
PHASE,
BUT
IT
HAS TO
%-BE DONE
SLOWLY,
HAS TO
BE
DONE
%-CAREFULLY
AND
MAKE SURE
WE'RE
IN%-A
GOOD POSITION BEFORE
WE
TAKE
%-ANY OTHER STEPS.
%-BUT
IT'S
GOING TO
BE A
BUMPY
%-RIDE,
FREDERICA.
%-NO
QUESTION ABOUT
THAT.%->>
YOU
SAY
HAD
REPUBLICANS
IN
%-THE
STATE SUPREME COURT
NOT SHUT
%-DOWN
YOUR "SAFER AT HOME"
ORDER
%-WE'D BE
IN A
DIFFERENT
PLACE.
%-DO
YOU
BLAME
THEM
FOR
THIS
%-LATEST
SURGE?
%->>
WELL,
IT'S
BEEN
ONGOING,
%-FRANKLY.
%-WHEN WE HAVE
VERY
LITTLE WE CAN
%-DO
AROUND
MITIGATION.
%-I
MEAN,
LOOK
AT
THE
SOUTHERN
%-STATES,
WHERE
THEY
SLOWLY MOVED
%-IN A
BETTER
POSITION.
%-BUT
THOSE
GOVERNORS
HAD
THE
%-OPPORTUNITY
TO MASK
GROUPS
OF
%-PEOPLE BEING TOGETHER.
%-THEY
COULD
CONTROL THOSE
THINGS.
%-I, BECAUSE
OF
THAT
DECISION MADE
%-BY
THE
SUPREME
COURT WAY
EARLY
%-IN
THIS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST
THE
%-COVID, TOOK
AWAY
ALL
THOSE
%-OPPORTUNITIES
TO
MITIGATE.
%-SO
WE'RE DOWN TO
THE
BASICS:
%-MASKS,
MAKING SURE WE
HAVE
GOOD
%-TESTING AND
MAKING
SURE
WE
KEEP%-SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM PEOPLE.
%-THAT HAS
BEEN
OUR
MANTRA
FOR
%-MONTHS
NOW.%->>
STATE
REPUBLICAN LEADERS CALL
%-YOUR
LATEST
ORDERS AND
MASK
%-EXTENSION ILLEGAL
AND
THERE'S
%-ALREADY A
LAWSUIT, AS
YOU
KNOW,%-OVER THE
LAST ORDER.
%-WHAT
PAUSE DOES
THAT
GIVE YOU
AS
%-YOU
ISSUE
NEW
ORDERS
AND
%-EXTENSION?%->> DOESN'T
GIVE
ME
ANY
PAUSE.
%-MY JOB
IS
TO
KEEP
THE PEOPLE
OF
%-WISCONSIN HEALTHY.
%-AND
AS
YOU
KNOW,
WE
DID AN ORDER
%-IN
I
THINK IT WAS
MID
OR
LATE
%-AUGUST.
%-UNDER
THE
CIRCUMSTANCES AT THAT%-TIME WE
SAW A
HUGE
INCREASE.
%-WHEN THERE
IS
SOMETHING
%-SUBSTANTIVELY DIFFERENT WE
%-BELIEVE WE CAN
DO
THIS
AND
%-THERE'S SOMETHING
VERY DIFFERENT
%-THIS
TIME,
TORQUES WITH
TOO,
WITH
ALL
THE
%-CAMPUS
COVID-19 POSITIVE
%-TESTING.%->>
WITH
JUST
ABOUT A MINUTE
%-LEFT,
YOU
ARE
ASKING
REPUBLICAN%-LEADERS TO
LEAD
BY
EXAMPLE
AND
%-WEAR MASKS
SAYING
FUNDRAISERS%-AND
APPEARANCES
SHOW
PHOTOS
OF
%-CROWDS WITHOUT THEM.
%-WHAT
MESSAGE DO YOU
THINK THOSE
%-KINDS OF
IMAGES
SEND?
%->>
WELL,
OBVIOUSLY
THE
WRONG
%-MESSAGE.
%-AND, YOU
KNOW,
NOT
ONLY
DOES
IT
%-SHOW
UP
IN
THE
PICTURES.
%-IT SHOWS
UP
IN
THEIR
ACTIONS.
%-AND,
FRANKLY,
AT
THE
NATIONAL
%-LEVEL, TOO.
%-IF
WE'RE
GOING
TO
BELIEVE
THAT
%-SCIENCE MEANS
ANYTHING
AND
IF
%-SCIENCE
IS
REALLY
STRONG AROUND
%-THE
MASKS, WE
HAD
THE
HEAD OF
%-THE
CDC
LAST WEEK
SAYING
IT'S
%-THE MOST
IMPORTANT
THING WE
CAN
%-DO,
IT'S
EVEN
MORE
IMPORTANT
%-THAN
VACCINES.
%-MASK
UP,
WISCONSIN.
%-IT'S CRITICAL.
%-WE'VE SEEN
LAST
TIME
WE
DID
THIS
%-MORE PEOPLE
IN
THE
STATE
WERE
%-WEARING MASKS.
%-AND
SO
IT'S EASY.
%-I
CAN'T SAY
IT'S
FUN,
BUT IT'S
%-EASY.
%-BUT WE HAVE
TO DO
IT.%->> ALL RIGHT.
%-WE LEAVE IT
THERE.
%-GOVERNOR TONY
EVERS, THANKS
VERY
%-MUCH.%->>
THANKS SO
MUCH,
FREDERICA.%->>
STATE
REPUBLICANS
WASTED
%-LITTLE TIME
DENOUNCING GOVERNOR
%-EVERS'
EMERGENCY
ORDER.
%-ASSEMBLY
SPEAKER
ROBIN
VOS
SAID
%-WISCONSIN'S
LAWLESS GOVERNOR
%-CONTINUES TO
RULE
BY
FIAT
AND
IT
%-MUST END.
%-THIS
LATEST ORDER
IS
ILLEGAL.
%-WISCONSIN STATUTES CLEARLY
STATE
%-THE POWERS GIVEN
TO
THE
%-EXECUTIVE BRANCH
DURING A
PUBLIC
%-HEALTH EMERGENCY ARE
LIMITED.
%-THERE IS
ALREADY A
COURT
%-CHALLENGE
AND
UNDOUBTEDLY THERE%-WILL BE MORE.
%-NO
ONE
BRANCH
OF
GOVERNMENT
CAN
%-RULE
OUTSIDE THE
LETTER OF
THE
%-LAW AND
GO
UNCHECKED EVEN
DURING%-A PANDEMIC.
%-LAST
SPRING,
THE
REPUBLICAN-LED
%-LEGISLATURE
CHALLENGED
THE
%-GOVERNOR'S ORDER.
%-THE
STATE SUPREME COURT
STRUCK%-THE ORDER
DOWN.
%-A LAWSUIT
CHALLENGES THE
%-GOVERNOR'S ORDER
TO
EXTEND
THE
%-MANDATE WITHOUT THE
%-LEGISLATURE'S APPROVAL.
%->>
LATEST CASE
NUMBERS
IN
%-WISCONSIN TODAY
SHOW
ANOTHER
%-2500 PEOPLE
TESTED
POSITIVE
FOR
%-COVID-19
AND
ALL
72
COUNTING
%-REPORT
HIGH
COVID ACTIVITY.
%-FOR
MORE
WE
CHECK
IN
WITH
CHIEF
%-MEDICAL OFFICER IN
WISCONSIN AND
%-STATE
EPIDEMIOLOGIST,
DR. RYAN
%-WESTERGAARD.
%-THANKS VERY
MUCH
FOR
JOINING
US.
%->>
HI,
FREDERICA.
%-NICE TO BE WITH
YOU.%->>
HOW
FRIGHTENED SHOULD
WE
BE
%-BY THESE
NUMBERS?
%->>
WELL,
I'M
EXTREMELY MORE
%-CONCERNED, MORE
CONCERNED
THAN
%-I'VE BEEN
THROUGHOUT
ANY
POINT
%-IN THE PANDEMIC.
%-THE
INCREASE,
MEAN
THE
%-TRAJECTORY OF NEW
CASES, IS
%-STEEPER THAN
IT
HAS
EVER BEEN.
%-WE'RE ALSO
STARTING TO
SEE AN
%-UPTICK
IN
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
%-SEVERE DISEASE.
%-SO THIS IS
ABOUT
THE
MOST
%-CONCERNING PICTURE THAT
WE'VE
%-HAD.%->>
AND
NOW
HEALTH
OFFICIALS
LIKE
%-YOURSELF ARE
WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT
%-IS
AROUND THE
BEND AS
WELL.%->>
WELL,
RESPIRATORY
VIRUS
%-SEASON STARTS
IN
THE
FALL,
GETS
%-WORSE IN
THE WINTER AND RESOLVES%-IN THE
EARLY
SPRING.
%-IT'S A
LITTLE
DIFFERENT EVERY
%-YEAR, BUT THAT
IS
THE
PATTERN.
%-SO
IF WE
ARE
AT
THE
BEGINNING
OF
%-COLD
AND
FLU
SEASON
AND
COVID-19%-VIRUS
BEHAVES
LIKE
OTHER
%-RESPIRATORY
VIRUSES,
IT
COULD
%-GET A
LOT
WORSE UNLESS WE
TAKE
%-SOME
PRETTY AGGRESSIVE
ACTIONS.%->>
LIKE?
%->>
WELL,
WE
SAW
HOW TO
FLATTEN
%-THE CURVE
IN
THE
SPRING
IN
%-APRIL AND MAY.
%-MOST STATES
HAVE SOME
SORT
OF
A%-"STAY AT HOME" ORDER.
%-WIDESPREAD
ATTENTION
TO
SOCIAL
%-DISTANCING
WORKS.
%-WE'RE
GOING
TO
NEED
TO
DO
THAT
%-TO
FLATTEN THE
CURVE
AGAIN.%->>
AND
YET WHAT IS
AT
THE
%-GOVERNOR'S
DISPOSAL
AT
THIS
%-MOMENT
IS A
MASK
MANDATE.%-IS THAT
CORRECT
?
%->> A
MASK MANDATE CAN
BE A
%-HELPFUL TOOL AS
WELL,
BUT
IT'S
%-ONE PIECE
OF A
LARGE
PUZZLE IN
%-TERMS
OF
PREVENTION
STRATEGIES.
%-AND IF
THE
POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT
%-DOESN'T
SUPPORT A "STAY AT HOME"
%-ORDER, IT'S
ON
EVERYONE
%-INDIVIDUALLY TO TAKE
IT
ON
%-THEMSELVES TO
LIMIT
SOCIAL
%-CONTACT AS
MUCH
AS WE
CAN.%->>
IS
THAT
FRUSTRATING FOR
YOU
%-THAT THERE
ARE
POLITICAL LIMITS
%-TO
THAT?
%->>
WELL,
I
THINK
IN
PUBLIC
%-HEALTH WE TAKE
THE
ENVIRONMENT%-WE HAVE AND
THE
TOOLS WE
HAVE
%-AND
WE
TRY TO
BE
AS
HELPFUL AS%-WE
CAN.
%-SO
WE'RE
WORKING WITH
THE
%-SITUATION
AS
WE
SEE
FIT
AND
%-TRYING TO DO
THE
BEST WE
CAN.%->>
I
UNDERSTAND
THAT
THE
NEED
IS
%-CRITICAL FOR
MORE
CONTACT
%-TRACERS.
%-HOW
CLOSE
ARE
WE
TO
COMING
UP
%-AGAINST
SURGE CAPACITY
IN
OTHER
%-AREAS LIKE
HOSPITAL
BEDS
?
%->>
WELL,
THE
HOSPITAL
BEDS
AND
%-VENTILATORS SEEM TO BE
IN
GOOD
%-SUPPLY.
%-WHEN WE
TALK
TO HEALTH CARE
%-LEADERS,
THE
CRITICAL
PIECE,
%-WHAT
THEY SAY
IS
THAT
WE
MIGHT
%-RUN OUT OF
STAFF,
NURSES, FOR
%-EXAMPLE, WHO
IF THEY
ARE
EXPOSED
%-AND
NEED
TO
QUARANTINE
CAN
%-PROMOTE A REAL
SHORTAGE
OF%-HEALTH CARE
RESOURCES.
%-SO IT'S
NOT
JUST
BED
%-AVAILABILITY.
%-IT'S
ALSO
STAFFING.
%-AND SO WE
NEED
TO
PLAN
AHEAD
%-FOR, AS YOU
SAID,
THE
POTENTIAL
%-SURGE AND TRY
TO
FIGURE OUT
HOW
%-TO MAKE
OUR
RESOURCES WORK THE
%-BEST.%->>
BRIEFLY
HERE,
DOCTOR,
WE'RE
%-BEING
TOLD
NOT
JUST
TO
DISTANCE,%-WEAR
MASKS
AND
WASH
OUR
HANDS,
%-BUT
TO STAY HOME.
%-ARE WE
BASICALLY
TO
%-SELF-QUARANTINE IN THE
MIDST
OF
%-THIS
WIDE COMMUNITY
SPREAD?
%->>
WELL, I
THINK THAT
THE
NOTION
%-OF QUARANTINE
HAS A
SPECIFIC%-MEANING AND
I
THINK
IT'S
VERY%-IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE TO
%-UNDERSTAND THAT.
%-THAT
IS,
WHEN
YOU
FIND
OUT
%-YOU'VE
BEEN
EXPOSED TO
SOMEBODY
%-WHO'S
BEEN
INFECTED
OR
DIAGNOSED
%-WITH
COVID-19, A
14-DAY
%-QUARANTINE
IS
ESSENTIAL.
%-SO
IT'S
DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT WE
%-NEED IN
TERMS
OF
WIDESPREAD
%-SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
%-QUARANTINE IS
SOMETHING
WE
%-PROBABLY NEED
TO
TALK ABOUT
MORE
%-AND
UNDERSTAND
BETTER
AS A KEY
%-PREVENTION
STRATEGY.%->>
WE
WILL
TALK TO
YOU
NEXT
%-TIME.
%-DR. RYAN
WESTERGAARD, THANKS%-VERY
MUCH.%->> THANKS FOR
THE
GOOD
%-QUESTIONS.

%-SO I
WAS
HONORED
ORIGINALLY.
%-AND THE REASON
WHY
I
ASKED
THAT
%-QUESTION
IS
BECAUSE
THIS SHOULD
%-BE A FAIR
AND
IMPARTIAL%-INVESTIGATION.
%-IT
SHOULD
NOT
COME
ACROSS

%-SOMETHING

SAYS

%-NOW BACK
TO PRESIDENTIAL%-POLITICS.
%-ALL
EYES
ARE
ON

ON
