but this is a good time t prepare for that, judy.in other words, there are ociaocols in place, s distancing, the mask-wearing, the hygiene, making sure that young children unrstand what we have all learned as adults and how critically impoant also recommend nothing cafeteria eating, perhaps eating at yourmi desk, ing in-door activities like assemblies, for example. and i ve heard doctorsi heard epidimiologists recommend the more you do outside than inside for any of us, let alone including these students, the better. so each school will need to make those decisions. i would point out that kaiser family foundation health tracker survey revealed just i last two weeks that 67 percent of parents y they are worred about their children falling behind socially and 65 falling behind ak dem cle and in that same survey 61% of the parents said they are worried about themselves not being able to earn enough money if the kids aren't back in school. we are n saying do it today, tomorrow or next week, but let's do it safe leigh-- safely not lock do

>> no, judy. because and you pressed him d certainly i mean i commend the senator for his ability to mpay tely on message from whatever notes he is gettingn terms of his talking points but the one big thing that you pointeout earlier, they can't get around covid-19. they can't ge around fiscal distress by cities an states. they can't get around racial justice issues and civil uest. they don't want to talk about those thingcause that wasn't, that's nothe january 2020 narrativevment not january. it's august. and no one is going to be think being janume on election day. so coronavirus is on the blot. leadership son the ballot, character son the ballot, civun st son the ballot and fiscal distress and people not having work, that is twhat is ballot. not all this other happy story that they want topa try tint it is not morning in america. i'm not saiing it is tot darkness but the real is we have some serious challenges which donald trump has failed on time and time and time again. eliana johnson, can th

judy, one. things i am going to be looking for, not just tonight and not just from the president, buovt all, is the tone of the convention. the president and his allie have said that the democrats gave us a very dreary, de pressing view of the u.s., that instead they will give us a bright, optimistics vision. now that is not what the president did in his speech earlier today. he gave a rambling speech full of anger and grieveance and falsehoods, of course, so i will be looking to see that tone if will you. i will also b looking to see what exactly the speaker including the president say about what this election is framed aand that is the pandemic. yes, the president will certainly be tring to draw contrast in terms of being out there, touching more people literally, i suspect than joe biden did. but i think he has to also ak knowledge the pain and trauma that so many americans have endured. and that is not smething that he has been able to do so far. and like gary, i will be looking to see if he
