jennifer ashton. good morning, eva. >> so we heard elwyn talking about in-person shopping. how do we assess the risk before we even head to the store or once we are actually there? >> well, i think the way we have to think about this is through the psychology of what we are all experiencing right now. this is a time of the year where we all want to be doing our typical preholiday behaviors and activities. it's just not smart or safe right now. so i think you have to ask yourself before you make that trip to the store, even if it's going to be quick or it's so important if the worst case scenario happens, if you become infected with covid-19, will it have been worth it? and i can tell you because i have patients right now with covid in their family, with people in the hospital, the answer will be no. so it's horrible for those businesses. we want to support them. we have to think of other ways to do it. but risk versus benefit, this is just too high risk at this point. >> and we've mentioned that the c

an important point i had saying to you that this talk that they might try to combine sputnik with ashton astra zeneca has vaccine what are the benefits of trying to combine vaccines and i would also last what's the point if we both know that they are very successful they have 95 percent efficacy. well so again i don't have all of the russian all the data from the guy malaya vaccine but the point is that it's a scientific point and i hope. i can explain that to you. the both the comolli vaccine and the astra zeneca vaccine are based on a virus called add no virus but the i know viruses come and many different kinds and so astra zeneca is using admin virus 26 as their vector and they and they give 2 doses but the problem with using 2 doses is that immunity may develop to the vector itself as well as to the in certain protein so the astra zeneca people probably feel that that they could. improve the response by using not one add no virus but 2 and that was the good idea of the malaya vaccine to use one that had no wires since a prime and another and the virus has a boost and that seems to w
