if someone goes into the room with deltek, several more people will get a dan alpert.e still have unvaccinated people. romaine: you were actually at some pandemic response lab in new york, in queens, explain what that is in what you saw? cynthia: the pandemic response lab was set up to be a covid testing site. they are working for the city and they realized they should do sequencing. they had the scientists and the capability, so they went to seek funding. turns out, there wasn't money for it. what they decided to do because they had the equipment and the brains is they started doing it on their own dime. they have been sequencing the mutations within new york city. new york city has had a good finger on the pulse of what's going on. now there will potentially be city money coming in and there are other ways for them to get funding. that has been a lot of the sequencing. there have been philanthropists like the zuckerberg foundation, rockefeller foundation, a lot of deep-pocketed philanthropists have funded this kind of work, but that is not how it is supposed to work.

there will be looking at deltek, and seeing how economies and countries react and try to break down thisarge surgeons of virus cases that could potentially derail demand. the virus and vaccinations will be a large thing we are watching. we will also be closely watching inventories in the united states, to see how dazzling inventories of drawdown, and what we are able to take away from this large supply, and if the nation and other countries will be getting closer to a larger deficit in the next few months. dani: stephen, thank you. we are still joined by martin malone. with this agreement in hand from opec plus, we talked a lot about supply shocks, is the risk of an oil driven supply shock now over? martin: to a certain extent, it is good news that two of the major players in opec have got a deal. what we have to remember is, we had the health care crisis, the pandemic, which was central to 2020, and opec-plus cut 10 million barrels. last year. they're still 6 million barrels short. it is almost like reverse tapering. we will have a 6 million barrels shortage reduced over the coming 1.5

recovery despite the surge in deltek cases because he will not see a lot of new lockdowns and peopleay spend a little less but for the most part, they say they have a lot of savings. they will keep going. let's look at the reasons from bloomberg economics, how they stack up. hospitalizations are not surging. that is why you don't look for the big lockdowns pit many of the impacts are some smaller southern states so that is not going to happen overall. and again, people are getting the vaccine and they are the at risk groups. they are probably also the people who say they are not so worried about catching the virus so they see cases rising and they will stop spending money. the fed will talk about it. it will be interesting to see, especially in powell's press conference, how this is affecting their look at tapering and other aspects of policy. it will be interesting to see how the inflation -- haidi: it will be interesting to see how the inflation messaging changes. the white house has been changing its language. kathleen: this is very important and interesting because joe biden and
