briancome to welcome in leavitt.arlier in the show, caroline was looking at a chart showing hedge fund positioning. so many signs that either the bulls have gotten really bullish or the bears have thrown in the towel and are no longer bearish. is there any left to buy at this point? two days is not really that big of a deal, but is sentiment at a point where there is not much skepticism left or are there people out there who haven't caved yet? >> i think since the beginning of 2018, investors have pulled $334 billion out of equities. signals that things had gotten near-term overbought. we had a huge rally off the march 23 bottom. that doesn't happen without some volatility on the way. but there's still a lot of money that has favored bonds. we became trichet to say that the last cycle was one of the least loved on record. and certainly i think we started a new cycle on march 23. that largely seems unloved when you look at how american households have positioned. romaine: when you look at this week, we got a lot of da

michael leavitt, who is not a physician but as a biophysicist, and his concepts on the statistics --ore importantly what i'm curious about is a lady who is a professor at ucsf named monica gandhi who is with a lot showta that people are actually getting immunity by wear a masks, t-cells, not anti-bodies. protocols, testing you are talking about letting kids stay in school, that is fine, and protecting the elderly. but there are elderly teachers into substitutes in the schools and if masks are not well enforced, we have the danger of transmission. there are studies both ways. it shows for adults above 25 and above, the chance today of the probability of death from covid-19 relative to influenza, covid-19, you are three times more likely to die from that. for children, the probabilities go the other direction. if you are a young child, something like eight times less likely to die of covid-19 than the flu. were more likely to die from influenza, yet we do not shut down schools for influenza pandemics. covid-19 is a serious disease. death is not the only problem. we do have pretty good

governor the lessons, leavitt, a number of others who preceded both of you in your positions, said we go from panic to neglect to panic. and even though we have taken some sick it can steps to be better prepared, and you are taking advantage of those, there's no way you could have vaccine developing a this rapidly, this safely, this effectively without these steps. still, we are not as prepared as we should be because in between epidemics, we lose our focus, which is why i'm urging that on onshore manufacturing that we make sure we keep those plants ,arm as governor leavitt said that we make sure the stockpiles stay full and are not depleted because of budget problems at the state or in the federal government, and governor leavitt said we had underfunded public health in this country for the last 30 or 40 years. and the time to be prepared for that is now. my strongterated feeling, and i hope you agree with it, that the time to sustain our preparedness is now while our eyes on the ball and while we're dealing with pandemic, we should make sure we are prepared for the next one. do you

let's be clear after the prime minister's beach, despite what he said — this is not an argument about leavitt. this is about right or wrong. lord lamont says the bill is impossible to defend. the brexiteer and former attorney general who helped negotiate and sign this deal as attorney general says this bill is unconscionable. in the brexiteer lord howard, his former boss, said this. "i never thought it was a thing i'd hear a british minister, far less a conservative minister, say, that the government was going to invite parliament to act in breach of international law." we have a reputation for probity, for upholding the rule of law, and it is a reputation which is very precious and ought to be safeguarded. and i'm afraid it was severely damaged by the bill. i will give way. afraid it was severely damaged by the bill. iwill give way. does afraid it was severely damaged by the bill. i will give way. does he think the eu has been negotiating in good faith? it's very interesting that the right honourable gentleman should say that, because there's a report that came out from the northern ireland

redfield has talked about it and mike leavitt did to art committee the former governor of utahe that we have been underfunding public health for a30 or 40 years. i think it's important we do it this year and so in the republican bill that we offered last week we did have in their sum authorization from our committee to fund onshore manufacturing and continuous funding of stockpile so they would be full. i would just like our committee to give that the same kind of attention to the subcommittee that we gave for example to funding for nih because it will take some sort of mandatory funding orr advance the preparation as the subcommittee did under senator greg: a few years ago for bio shield. it's not a lot of money. i think what we suggested was a half a billion dollars a year for 10 years, for onshore manufacturing. why is that important? in 2012 we created three manufacturing plants just for this purpose but two of them in governor leavitt's words went cold and they weren't available instantly to do what we needed done in the third one had a hard time finding anything to do between p

i think, as professor leavitt mentioned, there's a lot of lawsuits going on. there's a lot of changes because of these lawsuits. we see our role as two-fold. it is very important for us to be in the court, expanding access to the ballot, but we also have a very important educational role. because not everyone is a huge law nrerd, following these case slowly, and they may not know they don't need a witness signature for ballots in south carolina. we work with a number of groups on the ground whose sole job is this voter education, which is a complementary piece to our litigation. finally, a case still ongoing in alabama. here, we challenged a couple restrictions that alabama had on absentee voting, as well as a ban that alabama had on curbside voting. curbside voting, for those who may not know, is in many places, if you are elderly or if you have an ambulatory problem or any other disability that may make it difficult to actually walk into your polling place, poll workers can set up a curbside voting station. a poll worker will bring out a ballot to you and fa

secretary mike leavitt on all of this, in that capacity under health and human services running thatring president bush 43. i do want to mention besides california the other three states that have these 15,000 or more deaths are new york, new jersey, and texas. in all of those states i want to add however, the trend has eased considerably. spikes in cases, spikes in deaths, spikes in hospitalizations has actually been on the decline. in other words the trend has been on the decline. not that we're seeing complete reversal but that the growth has slowed tremendously in those states and 26 u.s. states. the 26 refer to these occur in question. i'm not sure of that i'm sure of this, they're selling at the corner of wall and broad. they will dive into details on all of this, whether they were being a little too reckless but for the time being with concerns about the virus and lockdowns that are renewing abroad, a concern a rush to get a supreme court pick in place, and the fact that could delay stimulus, that many market participants the economy still needs, the better part of valor is to

and governor leavitt said we have under funded health in this country for the last 30 or 40 years. the time to be prepared for that is now. my strongterated feeling and i hope you agree sustainthat the time to our preparedness is now, while our eye is on the ball and that while we are dealing with this pandemic, we should make sure we are prepared for the next one. dr. adams, do you agree with that? >> i have been in public health my entire life. chronicallyoned, we underfunded public health. i have been coming to d.c. for the past 20 years, asking for funding for basic public health. the problem with public health is it is like the oil changed in your car. you wait until the engine blows up before you decide to check the oil. we need to fund public health and fun vaccinations. i want to thank you for being a strong advocate, knowing this may be the last time i testify before you, for your strong advocacy, not just for the state of tennessee but for the united states in terms of making sure we have the resources we need at the federal level and are using our tools to protect the am

former governor mike leavitt said to our committee that we have underfunded public health for the last 30 to 40 years. and when we underfund public health and the next pandemic comes, we're not as ready for it as we should be. so fortunately, thanks to an unprecedented effort by scientists around the world, preparation by republican and democratic administrations over the last 20 years, and several congresses, we had done a lot to be well prepared for this pandemic. and we're moving more rapidly than we ever have to create new diagnostic test, new treatments, and new vaccines. some of the challenges that remain are how to distribute it, to whom it should go first, and how to persuade americans it's safe to take. but while we're in the midst of dealing with all this, it would be wise to remember that any legislation that we pass in congress this year dealing with this pandemic should also take steps to make sure that our stockpiles are filled, that our manufacturing plants can stay functioning, and that public health state by state is well funded. because as jared diamond said, the reas
