>> thank you so much for having me, raj. the issue here is sort of predicting how many cases we may have and how quickly the outbreak is spreading and the supply chain issue of getting the vaccine from denmark. the hhs, the white house are ordering more doses. they're trying to add to the national stockpile. but of course epidemics like this as you start testing more you uncover how many cases you actually have. so very quickly you can find that you're well behind where you thought you were and then you see what is happening now, where we are in need of more vaccines. there's a demand for it. the supply hasn't met up with it. that too is on the background of not having quite as much testing as we need to. here at stanford we have an in-house test. many other hospitals, these samples have to be sent out to other commercial laboratories or state laboratories for testing to be done. i think there's two parts here. how much spread we have and how quickly can we respond to that with the supply chain issues. >> you mentioned stanf

which means if he's acting president, what did go toby raj, epoxy leave as then? did he have presidential immunity? then did he have the authority to scramble and military aircraft to follow him out of the country? so there seems to be a lot of questions unanswered. but if we are to take what the speaker is being quoted as saying that he has a pointed runner, the grimacing as acting president, it would seem that he has of the authority to declare that emergency to, to pull the message out on its streets, on the streets, but that is obviously the official position, the sort of position in terms of his role, where he many people hear say he has nor legitimacy. he should be stepping aside and letting someone else take on the job. that is what the key thing is and that is what's causing the anger here. and we've been talking about the legality of, of that move. i mean, given we're now hearing this from the parliamentary speaker and not from the horses mouth, if you like an official letter from the president go to buy a bunch of pox. i will still be questions around th
