learn from it and feel fortified so the idea is to state and be fit cool fits during the cool bit and amec and up and makes trying to understand who are the people who are at highest risk of having poor outcomes from it and one are coping strategies to actually do well during the pandemic so that we could learn from india from individuals for individuals but also to do something like that in space governance that politicians and society could learn from what kind of strategies to deal with a pandemic health both physical and mental wellbeing or actually make it worse so what sort of thing is you asking people. so you are asking many things it's a long survey that's a little bit of weakness about 30 minutes for of adults and other lessons in about 15 to 20 minutes for all children age 6 to 13 we're asking them obviously where they live how they live where they know someone who has been infected or they've been infected themselves if they're in karm team right now or not but also do they have a physical or mental illness already and what is the help seeking behavior during the pandemic are t

where our unequal socially economically and of course geographically so since the beginning of depend amec it we've been trying to deal with their health for which the economic curve and we have this curve that's the way that mr bowser not a government dealt with this pandemic well he attended rallies which called for an armed intervention didn't he to get rid of governors judges and lawmakers what's that if not a threat to democracy you want to play the us is not a threat to democracy well the governor of south paulo thought it was. the governor of south paolo said brazil and said wakes up every day afraid of aggression to democracy to the constitution to the congress to the supreme court president both scenario he said stop this endless aggression. this is happens because there is polarization in politics the government of some paulo opposed to mr bush on out of this is much more talk than that say action when you see things are here's the happens it's a new way to people behave. not dangerous it's dangerous to have power to do what you mean but nobody has the power to do what they mean

the expectation is that this will be and amec and -- endemic and something that humans will have to contendwhile we are on earth. >> you mentioned your excitement, some money vaccines are being rolled out, and -- so many vaccines are being rolled out, and there are some questions of safety. transparentuntries enough about their trials and results to trust them? would you advise your friends stick withs to say, you and develop vaccines, forget china, russia, other countries? >> you are correct point out that not every vaccine is safe. the frightening examples were the rsv vaccine trials in the 1960's where vaccinated people and infants died at a higher rate than unvaccinated. vaccines are not necessarily protective. that is something that someone will look very carefully at. the next thing about safety, different people will have different risks. people doe, older worse with vaccines but needed them the most. college students are at relatively low risk of getting sick, but they're also likely to have the best tolerance. think thei know, i scientific community is similar around the world. i w

the united nations secretary general is once again calling for a unified global response to the tent amec which is infected more than 65000000 people a number of countries have been reporting record high deaths among them which even though it has overall cases dropping just under 1000 people died in the last 24 hours and the united states recorded its highest aby death toll on wednesday more than 2800 soaring infections and record hospitalizations have prompted toughen measures including in the 2nd largest city los angeles. the bottom line is if we don't act now our hospital system will be overwhelmed we don't act now we'll continue to see a death rate climb more lives lost here is what we are introducing today regions where the i.c.u. capacity is falling below 15 percent we are now mandating that we are implementing a stay at home order for 3 weeks rob reynolds is in los angeles and says there's an urgent need for medical personnel across states. the governor gavin newsom of california said that he is going to be instituting a series of regional stay at home orders based on the capacity

baba like amec ann but amazon does not treat it like an company in china. why are they allowed to operate in china and we allow the chinese application that we paid to operate here in united states. these are some of the issues that we have to address and i'm glad to answer questions and i look forward to opening remarks. >> thank you representative hurd. we will come to the questions later in our hearing. mr. scissors. >> thank you. i'd like to spend my time, my five minutes talking about one aspect of the competition which is whether it is in fact short-term or long-term project think it's legitimate to argue that its long-term but i'm going to make a case briefly that is short-term. the reason i think this is important is because whether it short-term or long-term changes the policy steps that they should take at the outset. let me start with why it might be short-term and this is mostly on the chinese side are they think we are familiar with the fact that china is a serious aging problem. many families were restricted to one child and encouraging birth
