nuclear scientists continues as he's laid to rest. and ethiopia's prime minister are b.-a most claims. his troops of not killed a single civilian in their offensive against he grow forces and i support follow one driver. rahman corrosion asserts alif hospital on choose day follows his miraculous escape. after a huge crash and sunday's bahrain grand prix has drug maker, madonna has announced that saskin american and european regulators for a mercians. the use of its corona virus vaccine. this monday. as after it got the final results needed to confirm the vaccine is more than 94 percent effective or maternal is just behind pfizer and its german partner by own sec. in ask going to

start vaccinations in the u.s. into samberg. pfizer say their vaccine is 95 percent effective against cool. with 19, the f.d.a. says there will be a public debates, all the evidence of each vaccine. pfizer's will be 1st, stop on december 10th, but turner's is set to happen. weeks later across the atlantic, british regulators are assessing the fines or shorts, but they're also looking at another from the u.k. company astra zeneca, which says their vaccine is on average 70 percent effective. big can be 90 percent depending on the dosage. get warner from our white house correspondent. kimberly how. kimberly, let's start with the good news is that the vaccine that modernity is seeking emergency approval from? is there any indication at this stage when this vaccine could start being bawled out to the general public it will definitely be after those food and drug

administration hearings. you were talking about on december 10th and 17th for pfizer, and during our respectively. but the u.s. president, donald trump, has been tweeting on monday morning urging the food and drug administration to act immediately. it's critical in terms of the timeline, given the number of infections in order for america to go back to work and to school. and that's something that the u.s. president has been pushing for quite some time. now in the midst of all of this, you have to remember that there are going to be challenges with the distribution. and that's why there is such a push by government officials across the board to get this approved because what this means is that it goes to production and then out into the marketplace, the timeline looking like it could be the end of the year. that's what the u.s. president has been pushing for, but it will be very tight. but so good news that the vaccine is, is getting there, but there is some bad news, of course kimberly, we're hearing more warnings from public health officials. and this comes after the

big thanksgiving holiday, they urge people not to travel. many americans that he was warning so well sort of impact is that having on the karuna virus situation across the united states right now. well, the impact is this planted the seeds for what could potentially be a very dire emergency situation in the u.s. with respect to cope at 19 in about 2 weeks. and it's already not great in terms of hospitalizations. those are after magically in terms of infections. those are also, but the fear is that this could even be on the scale of natural disaster because so many people plan for the face, it will hold 8 to travel, even the public health official said not to. and so the fear is that with so many people traveling, whether by car or through the airports, that the code 19 is kind of sort of spread throughout the united states. and

following that 14 day cube ation period is going to be a real problem on their hands. so public health officials are urging people that have traveled to kind of contain their activities to get tested in order to mitigate what they fear. could be a very dangerous and volatile situation come 14 days from now. carol, keep a cool song on that, but for now, kimberly hope at the white house. thank you very much. indeed. all the pound demick has damaged economies around the world, and the u.s. is no exception when key job for u.s. . presidents like joe biden is to turn that economy runs the last several hours he has announced who he wants to guide the country through the current crisis. let's cross live now. it's a christian salumi who is in wilmington, delaware. chris says, just talk us through who's been in for about an economic team and we'll sort of messages that sending the binds in teams approach to tackling the economic crisis.

the u.s. faces, hala. i think the president elect's nominees show his commitment to diversity with 4 of the 6 positions going to women, including the head of the treasury, janet yellen, she's the former federal reserve chief. the former chair of the council of economic advisers should be the 1st woman to hold that post. if confirmed and her deputy would be a man by the name of who was born in nigeria, he'd be the 1st black man to serve as deputy treasury secretary. both of them served under president obama and they will need all of the experience that they have to deal with with what is an increasingly gloomy economic forecast for the united states with millions of people still out of work and

a chronic virus infections in the country. surging as we just heard from camberley, and unlike when janet yellen was the head of the central bank under president obama, she's going to be dealing with a divided congress. even if the democrats manage to take over the senate from republicans in a special election in january, their majority is going to be so small that it's going to require great compromise between democrats and republicans to reach any sort of a stimulus bill or aid package for the country they're so far apart on these issues and how much money they want to spend, that this is going to be a major challenge for janet yellen moving forward. but one that she is promising to tackle she tweeted just a while ago about her goal of restoring the american dream. and that she was going to be working towards restoring the american dream here in the united states. but a lot of challenges for that ahead given the current economic situation,

chris and sumi there bring is the leases from wilmington, delaware. thank you. there's plenty more still to come on this news hour, including france's really party says it's rewriting a draft law that led to major protests, police accountability u.s. supreme court's ways. president donald trump spit to border legal immigrants from the census counts. and in sports, the major league soccer season is nearing its conclusion of all the action from the playoffs. later in the program,, u.s. secretary of state's mike pump, eolus, going for a complete ends to the facing in ethiopia's, northern tea, growing region, years to constructive dialogue to resolve the crisis. well, earlier prime minister of iraq, but told ethiopia's parliament,

the federal forces have not killed a single civilian during the 3 week conflict in de grey. he insists the army will not destroy the regional capital, the kelly after capturing it at the weekends. but the to great people's liberation front, say they're still fighting federal soldiers near the city. that another important thing to get with are not the most important. every target has been signed and approved. the house can see that every missile launched is backed by a signature of authority. 99 percent of them hit their targets and 99 percent of them didn't have collateral. no country's army can show this kind of performance. our army is disciplined and victorious. they said you will destroy mckelway and so on. may kill is ours. it was built with our own resources. we are not going to destroy it. not even a single person was affected by the operation. or malcolm webb has more from

nairobi in neighboring kenya. the government has said that its forces of control all of to grey region ever since it took the regional capital city of may. kelly on saturday, prime minister, the ammeters told members of parliament that the government forces didn't kill a single civilian in their operations. the t.l.'s leaders are contradicting these claims. they say that many civilians were killed in government airstrikes, something that the government denies, and the t p l. s. leaders have also said that they shot down one of those military planes that they've taken back one of the towns within the vicinity of mckelway and also that they're fighting on all fronts. the prime minister spoke person refuted these claims as delusional, but without journalists or humanitarian workers having much access to the region, athol and with the phone lines in the internet, cut off and very difficult to verify any of these claims. but the red cross has said that in the city of macquarie,

about 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries. they didn't say how the people got those injuries. but they did say that there's a serious shortage of medical supplies needed to treat them. and also a shortage of body bags. a family get into is a journalist that the reporter he says means the media blackout in to grey has prevented journalists from verifying claims by both sides. since this conflict conflict began, we've been hearing all kinds of stories, including reports from amnesty international human rights watch. the cheaper left speaking now the prime minister speaking with us, the local journalist going to the air. and very frank, this information we only have to sit and listen to all of them without making any judgment. you have to know i live in addis ababa very closer to the affected areas . it kills me that i cannot go and verify this information. so we have to take what the prime minister said at his words, and we're going to win whenever we get

a chance, we're going to speak to the people or perhaps a great and very private information. but again, the complex has a face, it's not just the victims, but all of us are watching very from within if you we're hearing that there are a few fights here and there in the service. others of my colleagues. but people are being affected. you know, and this kind of circumstances, you have to listen to pick them. the victims in the sudan are telling us they're forced to live through the un human rights commissioner is alleging some kind of work crimes is happening in ethiopia. again, there are many accusations, and we can't verify any, any of this information. the prime ministers, the prime minister people, he's a respected nobel laureate, amnesty international, another respected organization, human rights watch the same. ethiopian human rights commission, making all kinds of allegations, again, without going and very point that information to us. we cannot go to there because

we simply cannot verify. we get all this information from all sides, but there's no way of verifying that. but again, we're speaking to the big teams in the sudan, and they're telling us course people are being killed. people are being homeless. infrastructures are being destroyed. we just don't know who allays asian citizen volunteers are helping. if the opium refugees in eastern see don, regain a sense of normalcy in makeshift camps. $100.00 sat, one of those camps where he filed this report. so there is no blackboard or chalk or notebooks. but there's a sparkle of hope in the eyes of these young each open refugees trying to start a new life. amid the toughest of conditions. the makeshift school at the camp is sponsored by the norwegian refugees council. one of the things we're trying to do is to give them a sense of normalcy, but a sense of stability by setting up some temporary learning spaces. so they have

some classes every day, something to do, but also something to learn from in this really chaotic period of their life. so far we set up 10 classes, 2 shifts a day. we hope that is about a 100 children that we can help in the 1st instance. there's probably going to be a few 1000 children already. there's an estimated 3000 children in this camp. many of them had their education disrupted when fighting broke out between the chopping federal army and that ukraine people's liberation front. a few weeks ago, they were forced to flee with their families, relief agencies speak of a number of unaccompanied children in need of special care. some are showing signs of trauma, others are barely coping with the sudden change in their lives. some have had it even worse. the letter sultan hasn't been able to find any trace of his wife and 2

young daughters. since the 1st raids on the to grain town of ramallah by the sudanese border a few weeks ago, a little i'm a little animal. i just couldn't find them. they could be dead or alive, but there's no idea what happened to them. i was not home when the attack took place, people fled in every direction, they could, my family is gone. we're still at the camp and the us suddenly looks like an old place where some of the old,, it's your peers here. it's history repeating itself. because back in the 1980 s., this building served as a school for some of them asked child refugees. in the 1980 s. refugees came here, fleeing a famine that coincided with and resulted from years of fighting between 2 great rebels and the central government of former communist dictator, mengistu, haile mariam. the animosity that conflict had created still lingers. today here in the camp. greens are teaching their children in english not had,

which is the main of the language of the federal republic of each opiah. a sign of the mum of the task ahead for prime minister ahmed in his effort to restore national unity, 101 or mark over the fiji, kept leaders sudanese border with military camps. in 3 cities in northern, mali have been attacked at the same time. explosions took place in dar go and monocular on bases that highways un peacekeepers and foreign troops. no casualties have been reported. no group has claimed responsibility for those attacks. the experiences frequent attacks by groups linked to al qaeda. a senior iranian security official has accused israel of using remote control weapons to kill its top nuclear scientists. moxon reside there was assassinated in an ambush on friday. the european union, qatar and the united arab emirates,

have condemned the killing welter. iran is vowing revenge. a funeral service has been held for and in the capital tehran, as dorsetshire bari reports a state farewell for one of the most important figures in iran's defense ministry. mohsin factories are there, who is 63 years old, was remembered at a small ceremony in the grounds of the ministry on monday. this funeral was attended by some of iran's highest ranking officials, including the head of the country's atomic energy organization. the head of the revolutionary guards, and this man, the intelligence minister, who now has the job of finding out how factories that was killed. the scientists convoy of vehicles came under attack in opposite just east of tehran. on friday. he was taken to hospital where he died. factories that had been on the u.n. security council list of sanctioned individuals. iran had never allowed him to be

interviewed by the international atomic agency. his whereabouts were always kept secret, and he has survived a previous assassination attempt. president hassan rouhani was not at the funeral, but he has blamed israel for the assassination. a charge israel denies. iran's defense minister says justice will be done. mo-o. had mundra no yet called, we will pursue the criminals to the end of the perpetrators of this crime will be punished. the foreign governments and international organizations who refused to condemn this act of terrorism will see the consequences of their crimes. the father of 3 was gunned down in front of his wife, and the attackers have not yet been caught. this fascination is seen as an alarming security breach inside iran, and there is debate within the country as to what the response should be. iran's allies are urging restraint. well, it's not the 1st time iranian nuclear. scientists have been targeted,

but it is the 1st in the past 8 years and factories out. it wasn't just a nuclear scientist. he was also the head of research and innovation at the defense ministry, which means he played a crucial role in iran's ballistic missile program. many here believe that the death of factories or that could play a crucial role in how iran might deal with the incoming biden administration, the united states in the coming weeks. while the conservative voices in the country are demanding a tough response, it is ultimately up to the country's supreme leader, ayatollah economy. to decide and how to proceed. and this is the 2nd time this year that the country has been mourning the death of a high ranking official, the death of major general parson salomon in january. i now make it very clear that the road ahead continues to be a tumultuous one for one year or such a party out. there are france's ruling party are repeating promises made by the

prime minister. last week to rewrite, it's a controversial draft law that would restrict publishing images or police. the government is under pressure after the law sports intense opposition. large process to place on saturday, fueled by anger. over a video of police beating a black man in paris. michel as a player, needed stitches after officers attacked him in his music studio. critics of the law say it could prevent such incidents, buicks posed in future. it's also about the has more from paris only significance. oh, the proposed law. it's clear, the government has been forced to make a concession because m.p.'s have said that they are going to rewrite the controversial clause in their planned new security law. now this course is controversial because what it does is it would crack down on people's ability to publish air broadcast, images of police officers on duty. the government says that that would help protect

the identity of police officers who often do difficult work. but opponents of this clause say that it is an erosion of press freedoms as an erosion of the right to inform of people's right of expression. and that without images of police officers on duty, police will not be able to be accountable for their actions at a time where we're seeing several officers being accused of police brutality, especially over the past few days. now the government of course, forced to make a concession, i can say that, but on the other hand, i think it's really important to keep it in perspective. because over the last few days the government has indicated it might rewrite the article of this clause. but what does rewrite mean? no one has actually made that very clear. and i think what many people who don't listen very closely say is that the problem is most people who are against it. the many politicians on all sides of the spectrum really. and protesters,

tens of thousands of them who are in the streets on saturday. what they want is the government to just withdraw this article altogether. a case that could change the future of u.s. politics being her in the supreme court's the trumpet, ministration is trying to screwed on lawful immigrants from census count. and that could change a many seats. states have in the house of representatives. mike hanna reports now from washington d.c. . the house will be in order. the number of house seats allocated to each us state is determined by a nationwide census. and the exclusion of what president donald trump describes as aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status, could directly impact on the composition of the house. for example, there are an estimated 2000000 residents in california whose legal status is unclear and to exclude them from the comed would result in the democratic state.

losing as many as 3 seats in congress. 4 separate 3 judge panel have all unanimously concluded that the presidential memorandum violates the constitution and existing federal law. but it's a new supreme court that is now hearing the case before the death of justice. ruth bader ginsberg in september last year, the court was equally balanced along ideological lines on the one side for conservative leaning judges, on the other side for less conservative judges. and at the center chief justice john roberts, who has had a casting vote one way or another in a number of cases. but a recent decision striking down the right to the new york governor to limit the number of people visiting places of worship has revealed a fundamental shift in the nature of the court. 5 justices including the newly appointed amy kearney. barrett decided the anti pandemic measure violated the

constitutional right to religious freedom out voting. what is now a new more liberal minority. the 3 justices appointed by president trump have entrenched a conservative group in the country's highest court for the foreseeable future. the census case called trump the new york is an early test of whether this court is prepared to bend the rule of law at presidential him. and it's a decision that's likely to be taken quickly. by law president, trump must inform congress of how house seats will be apportioned by the 10th of january. next year. mike hanna al-jazeera, washington, andean farmers fucking rude sin process again. refusing to move to a government designated venue. thousands have been camping a major highways near the capital. new delhi. farmers say they're open to talks with the government as long as there are no preconditions to say the new laws will

hurt crop prices and their livelihoods. well, elizabeth purana was at one of those protest near new delhi and sent this update. we were at the single border crossing between the states of haiti, ana, and delhi, where delhi police estimate there are around 20000 people and from the arrangements that have been made, people are being fed here every single day. you can tell that farmers are not planning on going anywhere. they have used hundreds of their trucks, they have to block this national highway. and it's a similar scene into other border crossings into delhi, with tens of thousands of people there. here at singur today, we've heard speeches from farmers who come from states other than those which border delhi, they have come to show their solidarity. only a few, 100 farmers have actually gone to the ground that's been designated by the government to protest, hama said they weren't going there because that will be an open jail. they want to

continue their disruption until the government repealed these. now every so often you can see commuters walking through with their bags, you know, those that are stranded because vehicles can't use the crossing. but given that around half of india's 1300000000 people work in the agriculture sector, there was a lot of support as a lot of sympathy for these farmers. meanwhile, we have heard from prime minister narendra modi and he has defended these 5, saying that they are in the interest of farmers, that they will go farmers access to a bigger market. that it's a good thing. the farmers can negotiate directly with private companies, but thomas don't see it that way. they think that these laws will see the removal of the end of guaranteed minimum prices for their produce. so it's a come on al-jazeera. it's very, very worrisome. a warning about brazil's coronavirus a break from the heads of the world health organization. tough life lessons say

rocky students are back in the classroom, but capturing up on law school work isn't the only challenge. and we'll hear from the n.f.l. team, the balance of quarterbacks ahead of their latest game. and he will be here with more later as usual, or stores. or there's snow on the ground in kyrgyzstan, you might think that's not surprising, but it is the average temperature this time is run about 8 or 9 degrees. doesn't really snow and stick for very long is possibly more on its way. now this frontal system, which is given rain further south in the war bit, says let's bring more snow, a threat cast on eventually towards bishkek, which at minus 2 really cold and should be. but coming back to where it's been wet

recently, there's more rain forecast for kuwait and iran and a scattering of outbreaks of writing us who sat here a bit as big shot up in cyprus in the run up into the northeast of turkey. now this might allow shower to you can a thunderstorm in their home tuesday before it becomes find it a bit of a breeze coming down from the north. but as you can see, the darkish play by that time or wednesday now is iraq. kuwait once more, say lucky, street flooding on the western side of iran with that tail right way down into sas, west of the red sea, western side of saudi with thunderstorms seem quite likely now some more welcome rain, southern africa. this band is moving up through zimbabwe, zambia towards malawi. alawi wants to write in the language forecast is promising, rain or thunder for the next 3 days. in the past, past boston travels the roads of mexico,

have been raising ecological the went on sharing creative solutions to the country's. most remote demonstrated course is a by deep in the struggle for a better speech to the past passed by congress of the viewfinder, latin america seen on outages there and setting the discussions. millions of americans feel disaffected by both political parties. examining the headlines, this group of activists and relatives are marching band clinton right now where they're calling for morning edition. and that also explore an abundance of world class programming designed to inform why is child the only solution for a child as young as 10 months of age and inspired you to see the world from a different perspective on al-jazeera.

this is al jazeera, quick right on the headlines for you this hour. yes, truck macomer dares asking american and european regulators for americans a use of it's a cone of virus vaccine. final results confirm its more than 94 percent effective u.s. president elect joe biden has nominated the former chair of the federal reserve, janet yellen, to be his treasury secretary, yellen will be the 1st woman to lead the treasury department if she's confirmed by then. and i asked his economic team on monday, and a funeral service has been held in iran for the country's top nuclear scientist,

mohsen factories are dale, was assassinated in an ambush near the capital to run on friday. iran's leaders are blaming israel for the killing. the head of the world health organization says he's very worried about rising numbers of coronavirus infections and related deaths in brazil. he says the country must take the threat seriously. from november to, to november 26th. it has again double and that those are it also. it has been declining until november too. and no, it's increasing significantly. so i think brazil has to be very, very serious, and that's what my local transmission starts fueling and contributing more. but if you see the aggregate it's very, very worrisome. let's get more now from other sandra vietti. he's live from bogota

in neighboring colombia, where there are the heads of the world health organization. very concerned about the situation in brazil. just talk us through what it's like in brazil, and is this concern being expressed justifies yes, well, this is not the 1st time that the expressed concern about brazil during this pandemic. a lot of it has to do with the cavalier attitude of its president, jackie, to many times mind local lock down policies put in place by state in that country just 3 days ago. he has, for example, said that he personally will not take the vaccine when that vaccine will be

available. and as he insisted once again that he doesn't believe that fake face masks are necessary or useful in fighting this pandemic. he said that that will be the last to fall in this situation with the president, often openly fighting with local authorities. it has been very difficult for brazil to respond to the new spike in cases that we have seen in the last couple of weeks. over the weekend. there were pictures of the beaches of overcrowded beaches in brazil. malls being taken over by customers buy for christmas, all that is and so on. so that's probably why we're hearing the world health organization coming out again in calling for brazil to do more. now,

over the weekend, there were also local elections. there are more moderate candidates, have won in most municipalities, and we are already seeing the local tory is rolling back some of the reopening measures, for example, an important city, the city of dba, and also the state of so low the most populous state that is lie long been one of the central locations for the contagion of code 19 also announced the new restrictions this happened just minutes ago. so we'll probably see more states and city reimposing some level of risk to respond to this increase by what the president is saying. and what's the situation like in the rest of latin america because who would rates have been surging? there are things coming under control.

yeah, overall we are seeing an increase in numbers. things change from one country. one country that the world health organization is where you worry about is mexico. that has also seen a number you crease in the number of contagion, pretty much across the country and another country where the president has had to contract. big thing measures are where the health secretary has often said that the real lockdowns are not necessary. this by the fact that mexico has the fort worth number, the worst 4th worst bettles story anywhere in the world. and that the real numbers there could be much higher given the fact that the country has a very, very small number. that's a very, very small number of testing. and now the president there, manuel lopez obrador said that these are just political attacks against them. and

his country, so we don't expect things to change there despite these new numbers across the region. most countries are hoping to avoid a new lockdown, but they are looking at these new numbers and they're very worried of the possibility of a 2nd wave across the region. from bogota, colombia, thank you. well, turkey is opposing new measures to reverse an alarming surge in ukraine virus cases restrictions will come into effect slate own choose day. includes weekends. friday evening to monday morning. there's also a partial law being imposed june the week when turkey saw its daily death toll rise for a 7th consecutive day on sunday, as well as recording nearly 30000 new infections. in singapore,

doctors have detected covert 1000 antibodies in a newborn baby whose mother contracted the virus 10 weeks pregnant. well, the baby was born healthy and is now believed to be immune from the virus. the finding offers a new clue for researches who remain unsure whether the karuna virus can be transmitted from a mother. cheer a baby, cheering pregnancy, well as pain, and also eric fogle doing. he's an epidemiologist. stan senior fellow at the federation of american scientists joining us by skype from washington. d.c. . good to have you with us as we are. so learning about this disease, but how significant would you say it is that immunity appears? been passed from mother to baby. yeah, i think vertical transmissions certainly is a possibility, but definitely rare. now there's immunity that has come for, well, you know,

there of the virus is that a mother has exposed. it's not at all transmitted to a child. so we can assume that the child is who are protected and that's actually one part of breastfeeding. in the early days, the mother transfers of some of her into parties to the baby to protect the baby during his or her early in can stages. so maybe there is some partial immunity, or maybe there are some temporary protection. but we can't say for certain that this is, you know, who are the most interesting this discussion about immunity given all the vaccine use that been coming out in the last 24 hours or so. does this help us understand more about the level of immunity you can have from 19 because the mother doesn't appear to have these antibodies anymore. where's the

baby? does the people get it jacked it with the vaccine? how long are they immune for? so what more can we understand about the levels of immunity that we're likely to see in the months moving forward? right, and i want to make sure people understand just because you're in a party strop after you've been affected, doesn't mean you don't have the unity and more your body just basically ranks down production until it's needed again. so it's all the inequalities that your body previously produced are sort of in a library archive called your memory cells in your lives. and so if you encounter the virus. 'd going to go to some unknown, and this is something that's happens all the time. and this is also why babies protect you because there's a continuum in a body that's something. now, as for the buyers, there is debate on going the pay of whether the impacts seem protects you more

going for virus, then our previous interaction and sometimes goes both ways. but it seems that vaccine currently protects has a stronger inseparably in immunity response than a regular, someone who's a convalescent someone who's recovered. so i'm hopeful now it deters many other scientists are saying that they're going to see more even more protection and the 9594 percent protection that we see, sir. so far in the vaccine trials is really hopeful suggestion that they certainly are. we are still learning more about this, of course, other people with this is, are people have been affected toys. so the more information that we get about all of this, the better. and it's just 2nd with the mother baby dynamic. we have heard cases of babies getting immunity from diseases that affect the mother. i'm thinking of

the hiv virus being mothers who have been hiv positive and then their babies turn out to have some degree of immunity. so what the aids the disease. so what more can you tell us about how immunity is passed from mother to child? this is a relatively common phenomenon. and if so, what does this mean for pregnant women who worried about contracting viruses or diseases and how this will impact their child safety? administer an argument that it's always better to fall ill with a disease, so they could protect your child. yes. so this is a very important topic and the top of the vertical mother to child transmission has been hotly debated. and we know it does happen. those occasionally transmit, but not for entropy. we have drugs to block it and don't each oh has actually put

out guidelines. even though the risk is there, it's very small. but it's outweighed by the benefits. huge benefits of breastfeeding and part of the benefits of breast feeding is just try our transmission. another virus in a body from the mother to child protects the child from numerous, numerous, and this is why there are so many studies that indicate breast breastfeeding children are much more robust and healthier than when you're. so this is why the benefits far outweigh the small, small risk. so here's why we should continue to encourage growth, regardless of colon and a fascinating discussion. so lots to learn about this disease. certainly great to get your thoughts. thank you so much., talk to eric feigele thing, epidemiologist, speaking to us from washington d.c.,
