yes, of course. less buildings in november 16th. there has been have been security across the country. have many friends who are not afraid of going to crowded areas in suspecting that there could be remember that back to you, the whole idea behind television that there is only psychological. you must make people be afraid, and you must foster government to act out of it and perhaps become better depressive in order to attract support. that's the strategy terrorism. and if it happened, the government, the public is anxious about the mix up like is going to come from that. can you help us understand? we had 2 groups mentioned the i liked them, the credit for safety. how do i so mention? can you explain to us where they fit into an around you can to why they seem to be

operating there right now i this is for this is for dina. you know, go ahead. well the ela a on route originally was born in uganda and then since ninety's and the 2 thousands was repelled out of the country, moving into easton, democratic congo, way settled in a mountainous region where in story and then further towards the towns and cities are few pros, particular around the bay area, and over the period of mid to thousands onwards. the on really went dormant for quite some time and only really started researching 2013 in the congo itself, where it's activities were marked by rhetoric and killing all over that section of north human products and and city center. you know,

it has developed contacts and relationships on other i'm going to follow. there's also in contact with members of the democratic republic of congo security services, search, crated aware of, of the threats extremely difficult for the un mission there to get a 29 team. the main faction, which is the overwhelmingly lost fashion of the arm under the leader with, as has associated xanax. it, it's a rendering a new chapter here, apparently where foreign fighters from outside of the r c, from uganda and also from other parts of these africa tanzania really have moved into those accounts. and over the last year seems to be developing the technology, technological skills to,

to do this kind of attack and also trade distance. those individuals in uganda who may be responsible and the advantage of doing it that way. that in a, our group, candice easton, come far away from your services with actually control. they're able to disseminate technology by communications, by phone, ass, telegram and so forth. sure. and then set up these kinds of jackson baseline. all right, general, i'm going to talk about some of these are tactics of the arm clip said currently focusing on uganda. and this is grace mexico, who is a security analyst talking about the change in the way the attacks are being made. general, please have a listen to grace and then react immediately of the back. of his comment to me. what i had seen before was that they will pick bombs and place them at

a places like in a restaurant or by or throw them at moving vehicles. but the act as will not stay, you know, throw their mind. i will run away. but now for the 1st time now we're going we seeing a pattern of home grown suicide bombers, who are known by the local communities. wow, good families. we've been carrying out these acts and these are in the age group. it's almost like running around that, the youth you. oh sure we, it's a because on that actually now for the 1st thing we learned as what it might be got there. it. they never before where it is true that they are ugandans a young. but we know that this is kara, is it d of has been a recruiting younger ugandans minute period

t give them the extra to take them. i now we are all what they are going to do. when they gave him time to call and go, they force them into the kid. i just activate teeth. those who resist all attempt to escape in front of the other recruits m t to the call foam and give it to you straight from the shoulder. good. the bad the truth. so as we had in chris's weekend, i want to answer your questions about rise. the number of covered cases code 19 cases. and i want to start by acknowledging how tired, worried, and frustrated. i know you are. i know how you're feeling. for many of you, this will be the 1st or even the 2nd christmas. we look across the table, be empty, kitchen chair,

there. tens of millions have gotten sick. we've all experienced up people in our lives. oh, our covered has been a tough adversary. we've shown that we're tougher. tougher, because we have the power of science and vaccines. prevent illness and save lives and tougher because of our resolve so that let me answer some questions. at lay out the steps, the vice president i are taking repair for the rise, the number of cases experts tell us we can expect in the weeks ahead. first, how concerned should you be about oma kron, which is now the dominant, varied in this country to happen so quickly? the answer, straightforward. if you're not fully vaccinated, you have good reason to be concerned. you're at a high risk of getting sick. and if you get sick, you're likely to spread it to others, including friends and family, and young vaccinated have

a significantly higher risk of ended up in the hospital. or even dying. almost every one who has died from colbert 19, in the past many months, has been on vaccinate, unvaccinated as wrong among the majority of americans who are fully vaccinated. and especially if you've gotten the booster shot that 3rd shot, much, much, much less reason the word have a high degree of protection against severe illness. because alma krom spread so easily. we'll see some fully vaccinated people get cope, potentially large numbers. and we positive cases in every office, even here in the white house, among the and among the vaccinate, among the vaccinate. mamma. but these cases are highly unlikely lead to seriousness vaccinated people get code, may get, you know, they're protect it from severe illness and death. as why you should still remain

vigilant, according to our doctors, even if you are fully actually you should wear mask went indoors in the public settings, were in a mass, provides extra protection for you and those around, you know, some americans are wondering if you can safely celebrate the holidays with your family and friends. answers yes, you can. if you and those you celebrate with our vaccinate, particularly if you've got your booster shot. if you are vaccinated and follow the precautions that we all know well, you should feel comfortable celebrating christmas holidays as you plan. you know you've done the right thing. you enjoy the holiday season and thanks to the progress on vaccinations this far. we've gone from nearly 90000000 adults in july who would not even started to actually process a fewer than 40000000 today deal to manny. now from 90 to 40. all

these people who have not been back. you have an obligation to yourselves, to family and quite frankly, i normally criticize this to your country. get faxes in now it's free. it's convenient. i promise you, it saves lives. i honest to god, leave it you patriot duty. mother, question folks are asking is, what can you do to make yourself and you, family feel safer and be safe? the answer is simple. it's your booster shot. we're a mask. our doctor is a made clear booster shot for by the strongest to protect. unfortunately, we still have tens of millions of people who are eligible for the booster shot killer not yet gotten had gotten the 1st 2 shots that got the booster oaks. the booster shots are free and widely available. over $60000000.00 american, including 62 percent of eligible seniors,

are most vulnerable group. have gotten their booster shots. i got my boost of shot as soon as they're available. and just the other day, former president trump announced he had got his booster shot. maybe one of the few things. he and i agree, i people a booster. shots are highly protected. join join us has been 6 months. morse is my 2nd shot. if it's been 6 months or more for your 2nd shot, when i got my boost, if you can get yours, the day had been 6 months from morrison to a 2nd shot. another question folks are asking is, are we going back to march 20? 20 not as last march. 2021. but march 20. 20. when the pandemic 1st hit that. so i keep getting asked. the answer is absolutely no, no. here are 3 big difference between then and now one, number one, 1st one. more than 200000000 americans in fully vaccinate march 2020

. no one was fully matched. what that means is to day cases, a case of covered 90 from fully vaccinated and boosted 1st or most likely me no symptoms or mile one similar to the common respiratory virus. over 200000000 americans should have the peace of mind that they did not have in march of 2020 or protect it from hospitalization and protected from debt. second point, we're prepared day for what's coming. in march of 2020. we were not ready. today we spark tile and of restock, piled enough gowns, bass and ventilators, to do the surge of hospitalizations among the and baxley. today we're ready and as i'll explain a few minutes, we're going to be reinforcing our hospitals helping. number 3, we know

a lot more to day and we did back in march of 2020. for example. last year we thought the only way to keep your children safe was the closest close our schools. today we know more and we have more resources to keep those schools open. we can, you can get 5 to 11 year olds, vaccine door. we didn't happen to last month today. we don't have to shut down schools because of the case coven 90. now the student has positive, other students can take the test and stay in the classroom if they're not infected, rather than closing the whole school or having a warranty. we can keep our k through 12 schools open. it's exactly what we should be doing. so folks, let me summarize, we should all be concerned about i'm across, but not panic. if you're fully vaccinate, especially if you've got your booster shot, you are highly protected. the drug vaccinated your higher risk, ready?

severely yell from covered 90 getting hospitalized and even die. so the best thing to do is get fully vaccinated and get your booster and know this is not march of 202200 1000000 people are fully vaccinated. we're prepared. we know more just to stay focused. so that's where we stand. let me tell you about the additional steps i'm ordering today to take on what is coming to know. you've heard a lot of this in the news already. it's 3 weeks ago, i laid out a code 1900 action plan for this winter, a preparedness for this moment. to day, we're making the plan even strong. first, we're setting up our vaccination and booster efforts stepping up significantly. in the past 2 weeks, we've seen the highest vaccination rates since last spring. and we aren't as

vaccinated as the country as we should be though. that's why we have added 10000 new vaccination sites on top of the 80000 sites there already. we had we already had in place and even more open in january. i know there's some parts of the country. people are very eager to get their boost where it's harder to get an appointment scheming. so starting this week, i'll be deploying hundreds more, vaccinate hours, and more sites to help get the booster shots and people's arms. i've ordered themes on the federal mercy management agency to stand up new pop up vaccination clinics all across the country where you can get that booster shot. go put me rolling fema vaccination sites in washington state. new mexico recently as cases have increased. and today i'm directing fema stand up new sites in areas where there is

a high demand. the steps are going to help us add more, more and more booster appointments over the just over the next few weeks. also want to say a word to parents. if your children are not facts, please get them backs the. if your parents understand was weighted what to see how the 1st shots went with other kids before getting long, kid vax, they can stop way. the 6000000 children in our country ages 5 to 11 are vaccinated . get your children protected today. wow. those pairs out there who have a child, it's too young to be actually. it is under the age of 5. i know this can still be a scary, but 11 thing you can and must do while we wait vaccines for children under 5, get yourself fully vaccinated and boost, as well as those around you,

your children, your caregivers, you shibley's, is critical. the mask up and public indoor places. we know that our youngest children am only rarely been in fact by serious trouble case. code 19 cases. but they could be further predicted. if the surrounded by vaccinated people began to folks were not vaccinate. you may think you put no yourself at risk. it's your choice. your choice is not just a choice and you facts other people. you're putting other people at risk. you love, want your friends neighbors, strangers, you rented your choice can be the difference between life or death. a longer the bars is rather more likely various form may be deadly. the ones will come before me say again and again and again and again,

please get back soon. they did. she only responsible thing to do. those were non facts ended because he hospitalized over run, become more running. he spoke to the governor, new york, every common 1900 hospital means someone, the heart attack, cancer, other serious laws may not get that bed and that life saving care they need the hospital look, let me give it you straight on the crown is serious, potentially deadly business for unvaccinated people. i may be clear, thanks to the pride ministration and our scientific community. america is one of the 1st countries to get the vaccine. thanks to my administration, the hardworking americans. we lead a role out made america among the world leaders getting shots and arms, but uptake slowed this summer. as vaccine resistance among some heart look,

young vaccinated are responsible for their own choices. those choices ensure by dangerous misinformation on cable tv and social media. in these companies and personnel is making money. i personally lies in law and misinformation that can kill wrong customers and non supporters. it's wrong. it's m morrow. i call the purveyors of these lies misinformation stop it. stop it now. one of the other things we know has to be done is more testing is alma crime spreads easily, especially among young vaccinate is critically important and we know who's infected . i mean, we need more testy and that score, we're now where we should be. yes, we have over 20003 testing sites. yes, we've used the fence production act and spent $3000000000.00. greatly spend the

number of that home test available for purchase online and at your local pharmacy. yes, we made sure insurance covers the pcr tests. you get in the hospital or to doctors office, but starting next month, private insurance will all cover also cover at home, just so you can order a test online and get reimbursed. provide an access to free at home tests for those who may have insurance as well. may not have insurance, i says, well, there's not enough. we have to do more. we got to do better. and we will, starting this week, the federal government set up for emergency testing sites in areas and need additional testing capacity for christmas. the 1st several of these federal testing sites will be up and running to new york city. with many more to come this free test, it is going to help reduce the weighting lines. the time you have the standard. and

sometimes it's our more really continue to add federal testing sites where need. so if you want an immediate test to be a place where you can go get it, ross, need to do better with at home test. so my now see the day that federal gun will purchase one half 1000000000. not 1000000 billing will be additional at home. rapid chest with delivery, starting in january, beginning these chest to americans for free. will have websites where you can get them delivered to your home. we've arranged for it to be easier for you to find free cobra testing sites near you on google. just enter coven test near me, the google search bar. and you can find a number of different locations nearby where you can get tested or to continue to use his fence production act, as we did earlier this month,

to make sure we are producing as many test and as quickly as possible. the bottom line is, is a lot better than a worse. we're take even more steps to make it easy to get tested and get tested for free. next, we're preparing hospitals for what's coming. those 40 unvaccinated adults have a good chance of getting covered 19th and some of you will get very sick. now main hospital is going to get extremely stressed, extremely stressed and you was in terms of equipment as well as personnel. the care for those who get sick. that's why my bill astray sion, a stockpile and preposition, millions of gowns, gloves, masking ventilators, you call a p, p, p, are ready to send them immediately to any state that needs more. in addition, i've directed the pentagon to mobilize an additional $1000.00 troops to be deployed

to help staff local hospitals and expand capacity. and 1000 military doctors, nurses, emetics, ready, start a movie, military. and excuse me, medical teenage. they've already landed in wisconsin, indiana this week. this is on top of 300 federal motor medical personnel, the now on the ground having deployed since we learned about over look, while we know staffing is the biggest need for hospitals. some may need more beds as well, were prepared or directed, fema, to activate the national response center and began to point teams now via additional hospital beds. will began to construct emergency capacities near hospitals and parking garages in nearby building to be ready if needed and follow the federal government paying for all of this period olive. further fema or the

ploy? hundreds of ambulances and m. s. cruise. so that if one hospital fills up, we can transport patients to beds. elsewhere. this week we'll send dozens of ambulances to new york and main because the, because the covert is spreading very rapidly to transport patients are doctors, nurses, hospital stash, have gone above and beyond. drew spent the strain of stresses real. i really mean his real and will have their back, so have to let them know we have 2 backs. finally, we're making sure the cobra 90 no longer closes businesses or schools. last week, a federal court reinstated my administration's vaccination or test vaccination test rule for businesses with more than 100 employees or requires employers.
