8:04 am
feeling run on this as well? was just so you certainly will. certainly, i will. and you know that, but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january by kind of has more from washington d.c. . certainly it's the 1st time as well that president trump has explicitly said that he will leave the white house should as this is expected, the electoral college confirm the president elect biden as the country's next president. now, president trump saying that he's still not going to concede, insisting that there's a lot of battles still to go continuing to insist with no evidence whatsoever that the election was for talent. but all of that ends affectively when the electoral college costs its votes in mid december, basically all the electors in their respective states will confirm the votes,
8:05 am
which at the present stands for $306.00 electoral college votes for joe biden. $232.00 for donald trump. now at that point to president trump saying he will accept the electoral college is a decision of though if he considers it as a fraud. well, that's not strictly true. he has got no option, but to accept that decision that is a constitutional point at which the next president is confirmed by the electoral college. the next step is for congress to certify all of those votes, and then the inauguration on january the 20th one must point out as well. that in more than 30 cases brought by the trump campaign or other republican organizations, have been defeated in the country's courts. so certainly he has no grounds whatsoever that would appear to continue to cry fraud, and to continue to cost any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. but he's going to continue to do so. it would appear drug company astra zeneca has considering running another global trial for its krone virus vaccine,

8:07 am
a big problem if we just you know, relax and say we have a vaccine and everything is ready and we can go out and start our life as used to be. that's really kind of a big mistake for everybody. because having a vaccine is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and do almost everybody's really huge task that was did months. and therefore if we just relax today, because we have a good that is also from a clinical trial, that's something that should be managed well. and we should not be who lacks order behaviors and our practices and the vaccine itself. although it's a very big success for the 3 vaccines, including the estimate, seneca, there is a still many open issues that have to be answered before we get to the point where we say, ok, we need it, giving the vaccine to 65 and older where we have
