the obama administration, now a senior fellow at the university of virginia military center, and john berry, faculty at the tulane school of public health in tropical medicine and author of "the great influenza: the story of the greatest pandemic in history." kristen, you obtained a new white house statement about that military aide, what we would call a knanavy steward, who ser meals to the president, tested positive i guess wednesday. tell us what you know about that. >> that's right. and my colleague peter alexander just got some new reporting. let me read you some of the new information we have, andrea, and then we will get to the official white house statement. the white house official telling nbc news the member of the white house military on the white house campus who tested positive is one of the president's personal valets who works with the west wing and serves president trump his meals, among other duties. as you mentioned, andrea, the valet is a man. not confirmed what branch of the military he's from. the official said valets do not wear masks. upon learning about this, the pre

coauthored by john berry. who wrote the great influ. out break which the president calls the 1917 out break. not sure why. welcome back to "prime time." good to have you, john. >> thanks. good to be back. >> is there anybody who calls it the 1917? is that when it started and we're just -- why? >> you know, it's a strange -- it encapsulates too many things about him. if he makes a mistake instead of admitting it he wraps his arms around it and insists he can get away with it. >> the idea of it taking that long. you're a pessimist. no way, we have never dealt with anything that went on that long in this country. not since 1918 and even then. we're much bet r off now. why believe this? >> 1918 did take that long. so there was a pandemic in 1889 that lasted three years. pandemics take a while to work their way through. even in 57 and 68 when we had vaccines. they took a while. if we get a vaccine, then what we said in the study is short circuited. fortunately. the point really of the study is to remind people and everyone who does it wants

through tests in cvs and walgreens and there would be an army of contact tracers which we just heard john berry. is the that public-private partnership that this writer claims has not emerged? >> one of the names we need to realize is that doing all these things we are trying to do is incredibly hard. developing a test for the coronavirus is incredibly hard and one that's an effective and easy to distribute and they've done a pretty good job. developing treatment is incredibly hard. the fastest vaccine that's ever been developed in human history wasn't one for ebola virus and it took five years. the fact that we will get this done will can quintuple the land speed record for development. donald trump will have a case to prosecute against joe biden because joe biden was the one who was in charge of pandemic preparedness and the obama administration and they depleted the stockpile during swine flu and never refilled it. they were supposed to deliver 45,000 ventilators and not one. >> martha: that will be an interesting moment in the debate on both sides. gentlemen, i have to leave it there, good

john berry and mark -- so thanks very much to both of you. welcome back. mark, john, you know you write that this virus will likely keep spreading for 18 months to two years and the forecast you both put in was until 60 to 70% of the population worldwide has it, which i know mark has said is sort of how he defines herd immunity warn this could include another wave in the fall and winter. so could that wave be bigger than what we are seeing right now? >> it could be. what we've seen so r far has been controlled and lessened significantly by the actions we've taken. if those actions are released and people stop paying attention to social distancing, you need to even if we end lockdown, you still have to continue social distancing and other public health measures. it could get considerably worse than what we've seen so far. >> pretty sobering warning. the virus has been spreading for about five months. so r far akortding to official number, less than 1% of the world's population has been infected. now obviously that number is going to be much higher than that,

john berry wrote a fascinating story, the deadliest pandemic in histo history.'s talk how policy makers and public health officials and others dealt with that interim period, what they thought happened in the spring, what they thought happened in the summer and whether they did or did not prepare for what ended up happening that fall. >> well, actually, in 1918 they didn't have much reason to prepare. the spring wave was very spotty. it missed a lot more places than it hit and where it did hit, it was generally very mild. so mild that medical journal articles said this looks and smell the like influenza but it's not killing enough people so it probably isn't influenza. the virus clearly mutated and came back in a very lethal form, much more lethal than what we're facing now, thankfully. so the preparations, actually, the first report of a lethal wave came in july from switzerland when military, u.s. military intelligence actually reported that it wasn't really influenza, it was the black death from the middle ages. so you went from something that's so mild it's

of state he said he and it will be talking to health specialists in the scientists like marty berry from johns hopkins who you see a lot on the code virus or toby cars were oh who ran the cleveland clinic and then we bring in elevators to sort of people who are like making back scenes and look looking to make those any sense so it's on every week a 2nd opinion podcast dot com you can go there and look at it as well what do you think few more questions what do you think of obama's affordable care act. well i thought it was really interesting because when he was campaigning he was campaigning on the cost of health care because that's what really people care about and cared about time and then once he got into office he switched to the access if you will get you a huge issue in this country that 20 percent of people don't have care maybe 30000000 people 1215 percent only care today they don't they get the care but they don't have the insurance but people care about cost the horrible care act is an access bill cover more people did not address cost some people say it a little bit it really didn't

john marshall's legendary persuasive powers. it was because if you look at , thatt johnson's record indication was already there. now, a couple of other important things. first, johnson joined the court after mark berry. johnson joined the court after marbury. he was not part of that revolution. between marbury in 1810, there were few if any cases that came to the court which would arouse jefferson's ire. the single most important exception were the cases out of the burr conspiracy where johnson in fact did dissent but not on a constitutional basis. in 1810, fletcher versus peck presented the first opportunity for johnson to speak out in an area near and dear to jefferson's part. heart. this was compounded by another development. in 1808, the treasured task which will not -- johnson issued an opinion with regard to the jeffersonian embargo where johnson took a position that countermanded the direct command from jefferson. this gave rise to an incredible dialogue. he delivered a little lecture, even president are subject to and should respond to the law. jefferson was outraged. he had his attorney general right a letter to all the court collectors in the country. there was an exchange of views like th
