sanjay gupta, here in surfside, florida. of this heartbreaking collapse. 55 units of a 136-unit building. the 55 units that were facing the ocean have collapsed. what we have just heard is that one person has been confirmed to have died. 99 people are, still, accounted -- un-accounted for. and these really desperate search-and-rescue missions are underway. i am joined by dr. howard liebermann. howie, thank you for joining us. you are a trauma surgeon. you were operating yesterday. you got called to come be here, be in the field. to try and take care of people who might potentially be found. but also, the rescuers, themselves. >> correct. so, as you said, i am a trauma surgeon. i am also a member of the miami-dade fire rescue, urban search and rescue task force. so i kind of have a dual role. i initially started as a trauma surgeon and then, i kind of shifted from trauma surgeon at jackson memorial hospital to urban search and rescue with the florida task force. >> i know you e've been working through the night and i want to

please give them our love here, sanjay. thank you. >>> this morning we are also hearing from the miami-dade fire rescue chief on the ongoing search. this is what he just had to say. >> we've been here nonstop, 24-hour operation, and a haste effort of trying to search and find as many victims we possibly can. there's always hope. you know, i've been in florida, in haiti, collapse in barbados and other collapses that we've been at, and there's always that hope and that's why we're here. we fight 24/7, we don't stop. you know, when it gets to that point that it's just incompatible with hope, we'll reach that point. but right now there is always hope and that's what we're here to do, we're here to rescue as many people as we still can. >> it is hard to reconcile some of the images that we're seeing. the work that is going on there with what we just heard from the spiegels. i mean, you don't think of sights like that and think of people who are still trapped, people who still need to be rescued, but that is what is happening. ro

sanjay gupta.have to say this feels pretty significant to us here in the united states as we talk about whether and where and when kids should be vaccinated. as they're finding in the uk, the coronavirus is being spread a lot by kids and young people. >> that's been one of the issues. we talk about the vaccines as being protective to the individual who gets the vaccine. there is a risk benefit an allcy sis. obviously younger people are at less risk of this disease. i've studied this virus for 15 months. i'm really coming to the conclusion, you do not want to get infected with this virus. we're still learning about the long-term impacts about this. i was talking to people last night. you don't know months later what the impact might be on the brain, on just about any other organ system, but the second point, john, to your point, it is a reservoir of disease that's increasingly finding itself in younger and younger people that's going to make it harder to get to the point of -- we're not going to era

sanjay gupta there. rosa, let's begin with you. what more have we learned this morning especially about the number unaccounted for? >> reporter: you know, poppy, we were expecting this to happen. i know governor desantis mentioned it yesterday, that they knew that more bad news was going to be coming in the coming hours, and we learned that overnight three more bodies were pulled from the rubble. that, of course, brings the death toll to four. we are also learning about the challenges that firefighters were facing overnight. fires that not only started, but then were re-ignited. and so that just, sanjay, tells us, gives us a glimpse of really what is going on behind us and the dangers that these firefighters are facing to try to save lives. >> it's really risky work. and at the same time, i mean, there's a lot of people who they say are unaccounted for. the building may be fully occupied, but that doesn't necessarily mean there was everyone there. people come for certain months of the year and things like that. that adds to the cha

sanjay gupta. this captures our attention is you're talking medical professionals, sanjay, and there's still this huge chunk of americans including medical professionals who do not want to get vaccinated, aren't getting vaccinated. what's going on with that? >> with hospitals, that's going to be a different population. by definition, they're vulnerable people within the hospitals. they're most at risk. that's the point the ceo of hospitals have made. let's look at the country overall. what you see is obviously an increased willingness for people to get vaccinated. 66% roughly of people. this is the green line here, sort of either have been vaccinated, are willing to get vaccinated right away. you have a wait-and-see population that has shrunk somewhat over time, since we started looking over these numbers, and that red line has stayed pretty stable. it's about 19%, 20%. 70% say only if needed, 13% say absolutely not. what holds the 13% back? it's really four main reasons. some of it is just logisti

sanjay gupta. hey, sanjay. dr.fauci calling this delta variant the greatest threat to eliminating covid. why is this such a concern? >> this is just a much more contagious virus. to give the context, you see how fast it's growing. in the beginning of may we were hardly talking about this. it was just 1.3%. you can see what has happened. this is 60% more transmissible than the uk/alpha variant, 50% more transmissible than the strain before that. you can see where this is headed. people are ending up in hospitals who are younger as a result of this. we have to figure out now, is this going to be the strain that sort of becomes the most dominant strain in the entire world. the good news as you've said many times, if you're vaccinated, the vaccines work pretty well. they pooled the data between pfizer and astrazeneca, and you can see on the left there, the protection against serious illness very high. if you only get one shot of either of those, the effectiveness drops way down. it is the same discussion, kate, the vac

sanjay gupta. just rewind to the beginning of this when we thought about the numbers that we were told we might see, i don't think anyone was prepared for this. and yet this has become our normal. 600,000. >> yeah. it seems incomprehensible and every time i've been thinking about these numbers it sort of still takes my breath away. i still get some tightness in the chest just thinking about this. i mean, you look at the trajectory of sort of where we have been and one of the things that really strikes me is i remember having this conversation with ambassador burx, and she told me at one point after those first 100,000 when we were still sort of grappling and trying to understand what had happened here, she believes that basically all the rest of the deaths after that could have been greatly mitigated or prevented. which is hard to say. i mean, that's 500,000 people. we knew that going into this pandemic if you looked at indexes around the world, the united states should have been the best prepared

sanjay gupta. that's not necessarily a very forward looking strategy there, sanjay. >> no.ly, the vaccine is so that you don't get it. that's the whole point. it's not to treat it after the fact. because you're trying to avoid it. i always think it's important to give context here when talking about the nfl in this case or houston methodist hospital yesterday. the vast majority of people are getting vaccinated. 30 out of 32 teams in the nfl, 90%-plus of their players and staff are vaccinated and the numbers still going up. the other two teams, 80% plus. so these are the exceptions that we're talking about. and as you point out, the vaccines are encouraged, but not mandated for the nfl teams. but you don't have to get daily testing. you don't have to wear masks. you can eat in the cafeteria, work out in the weight rooms. different travel restrictions lifted if you've been vaccinated. there's all these incentives for people to get vaccinated. let me show you quickly the country as a whole, where we stand six or so months into this vaccination campaign. about 3 out of 5, 66% r

sanjay gupta. get good reporting as you're giving us expertise on the medical side. we were mentioning the analogs here. we were both in haiti when we watched the same diggers and first responders pull people out after 72 hours of a pancake collapse. that's what they're hoping for. >> they are. they're realistic, but this is very much a search and rescue mission still. i mean, as you know, it's hard to time these things out. someone is in a void, protected from the elements, has access to clean air and access to even water. there's been rain, obviously. there's been water. it's possible. it depends on the level of the injury. mostly blunt trauma injuries is what we're hearing from medical examiners, and it depends the resilience before. it's possible. it's possible, but 24 hours, as you know, statistically that's the -- where most people are recovered, that's when that happens. so that's working on that assumption as well. >> with that and the miracle category or just the circumstanti circumstantia

sanjay, i want to bring you in on this. as we've talked about the hours that have ticked by, now 30 plus hours after the collapse, what are you hearing? what are the chances of surviving in the rubble this long? >> i don't think anybody is willing to put a time frame on it at this point, kate. for obviously reasons. i think it is still a search and rescue mission. dy have a conversation with the medical examiner about that and that is still the mode in which they're operating. but as you get further and further out, it depends on a lot of factors. all types of injuries a person may have had, are they in one of the voids that we've been hearing about. do they have access to air? and obviously the pre-existing conditions in terms of being able to tolerate all of this. it is tough. there is to question. but at this point, you hear that typically the 24 hour mark is typically when most people who are going to survive are recovered but you also hear stories as you well know, kate, being in haiti and other places, i've seen peopl

sanjay gupta. good morning, we had the w.h.o.ming back? >> these are precautionary measures, and the guidance we have been talking about for some time is that it really depends in some ways if you're vaccinated or unvaccinated in terms of your overall risk. if you are vaccinated, the idea is you're farless likely to become sick, far less likely to become hospitalized or die. the reason you're hearing about the mask coming back is to slow down the transmission of the delta variant. so you get the idea here, i mean, it's sort of this notion that the virus is still spreading, let's see if we can do everything we can to really contain it now at this phase of things. so should you be worried? if if you're vaccinated, is it possible that you could still potentially develop a breakthrough infection, yes, low likelihood, but possible. what they're really trying to say, though, is if you're vaccinated, you are less likely to get sick. >> when it comes to the vaccination, so there's another recent study that shows that the vaccines really

sanjay gupta. sanjay, what do you make of fauci's defense of the public health guidance changing?i mean, the science does change. that's the thing. people often times expect science to be like math, two plus two's always going to equal four. but we're constantly learning new things. and science within the world of neurosurgery, science continually changes. i think, to be specific, jake, the big thing that changed with regard to masks and this particular pandemic was the realization something that never happened before according to dr. fauci that this was spreading primarily, this virus was spreading primarily asymptom atly. and that's when it became clear that you may not know you have the virus, you may not have any symptoms, you may not have been able to get tested, you need to wear a mask because you could still be spreading the virus. we didn't know that at the beginning. nobody had all the information about this in the beginning, but as we learned this i think that that's why the recommendations changed. >> i remember vice president pence being in this studio actually telling

sanjay gupta. okay, sanjay, no vaccine is 100% effective against coronavirus. news about if you do catch it in a breakthrough case. >> right, this is the big news. the idea it's going to prevent severe disease this vaccine we've known that for some time. we subsequently learned it was going to make you much less likely to get you infected a breakthrough infection. and far less likely to be contagious. there's always this question, i got vaccinated i still get infected how sook if i supposed to be. that's what this data is about. going to spend fewer days in bed and have a lower viral load. you're carrying less virus in our nose and mouth therefore less likely to spread it. so this is good news. we've known this for some time. people often think of vaccines binary. is it going to prevent the illness or not. you can see it can really decrease the symptoms of illness as well. >> sanjay, masks. some people still are trying to figure out when they should and shouldn't wear them. you have a new essay on this. >> yeah. i mean, this is really interesting, right? we dev

sanjay, obviously the clock is ticking to find survivors. chances that these search and rescue crews can still find people alive? >> well, jake, you hate to say it because it's such grim news. but it's obviously becoming increasingly unlikely. i mean, if you look across the board at earthquakes, for example, or even other building collapses, most survivors, most successful rescue missions occur within the first 24 hours. there have been obviously stories after earthquakes. there was a study looking at earthquakes, 18 of them over about 20 years. you do sometimes find long-term survivors. but it's becoming, you know, increasingly unlikely, jake. this type of collapse, the nature of it makes it less likely that people would have these voids that you've been hearing so much, a pocket where someone could have air, not have suffered catastrophic injures and possibly survived. but we're coming up on 40 hours now, jake. unfortunately it's becoming less and less likely. >> and you have sadly learned some grim details today about the efforts to ident

i want to bring in cnn's chief medical correspondent, sanjay gupta. based on what you know, where do you stand on the issue? >> you know, i want to be very careful here. i think the doctor would agree we don't want to be empowering increased vaccine hesitancy here, which is always a potential consequence. no question that for an authorization, emergency authorization, the ratio of benefits outweighing the risks have to be proven for all the reasons that the doctor is saying. that may involve more involved safety studies. whe when they did 12 to 15 authorization, they did more bridging trials. they bridged a lot of the data from older people to that age group. with younger people, you have to do the safety trials and more complete data needs to be accrued to prove that. one of the things i think is important to remember is that we look at hospitalizations, deaths. i think one thing we have learned is that you don't want this virus. you don't want to get infected, because we don't know of the longer-term consequences, even in people with milder illness.

sanjay gupta. he is there on the scene for us. sanjay, thank you so much. i understand you had a chance to just speak with the medical examiner there. what are you learning about how they are identifying victims? >> i am learning that it's going to be challenging, wolf. of the four people who have been confirmed to have died, they were only, for example, able to identify three of them conclusively, right away, just through facial features. but now, they're gathering all the data that randi was just talking about. any distinguishing characteristics and that's what is going on at these reunification centers, wolf. families being asked to bring in dna samples, dental records, x rays, anything to provide some clues, wolf. the medical examiner said something to me, wolf. she said that hasn't been since the value jet airplane crash in 1996 where they dealt with something quite like this. this was the metaphor she used was an airplane crash. to -- to basically, describe how they were sort of approaching this. it can be really hard. obviously, this is a more confin

sanjay gupta and clarissa ward to talk about this. clarissa, after their meeting prime minister boris johnson said the biden administration, quote, a big breath of fresh air, unquote. i was kind of stunned when i heard johnson say that because he really cozied up to trump. so that seemed very, i don't know, chameleonesque. >> reporter: jake, i don't think you would be the first person accusing boris johnson of being a chapel chameleon or a pol al opportunist. he sees there's a new era and would rather be compared to winston churchill than president trump, as president biden called him a physical and emotional clone. boris johnson wants to seize the momentum of this historic era, the u.s. and the uk working together in the post world war, reshaping the world, what it was going to look like. of course, today's different challenges that the two countries are facing. but certainly the prime minister wants to have a big role in that and make sure that the uk is a central part of that. i think he also wants to show that the era of america f

sanjay gupta. sanjay, you were here the other day.'ve covered these sorts of disasters around the world, haiti, pakistan, nepal. what factors are at play if there are people trapped and as we know, 150 wonderful, wonderful people. they were just in the building in the middle of the night. 150 people are still unaccounted for. >> right. wolf, well, i mean, it's tough to talk about. and you're seeing it with your own eyes. people have seen the way the building collapsed as so many people have talked about is a major factor. when you look at haiti, for example, you had people who survived for even up to a couple weeks sometimes, these were different sorts of collapses in some areas. it would be a lean to collapse. so the ceiling was sort of leaning on one side versus just sort of falling completely down as has been described as a pancake collapse. that makes a difference. access to the basics. obviously air, water, and food. and then what sort of health the person was in in the first place. in terms of their own resilience. you have to t

so let's get straight to cnn's chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta.resident biden on coronavirus tweeted this. quote, if you're vaccinated the most important thing you can do right now is go live your best life and make up for lost time. there are far greater threats in your life than the delta variant. there are others, however, who point to the fact that the "wall street journal" is reporting about half of adults neinfected with the delta variant in israel had been vaccinated. what do you think of what slavitt's saying? >> the vaccines are really protective, jake. that fact remains true. that's been tested now for some time. you have real-world data saying, okay, delta variant, alpha variant, how well do the vaccines work? if you're vaccinated, the idea that you are going to get seriously ill or need hospitalizing or die is incredibly low. when you look at the israeli data there's a couple things to sort of look at specifically. the cases are going up, in part, because you're seeing even among the -- i think they have 60% of the country vaccinated.

sanjay gupta. as you look at this, what's your reaction or level of concern or no level of concern? >> there's still a lot of level of concern after what we saw with the princess diamond cruise lines last year, right? that's what's fueling this. one person on the cruise ship, 700 became infected, seven people died. that's what's on a lot of people's minds in the public health community with cruises taking off again. what i see here is some degree evidence that the vaccination program is working. it's not surprising people might still have breakthrough infections. i think there are questions to be answered, when were people vaccinated, what kinds of tests were done, things like that. the big question is are people getting sick? we know the vaccines do a great job at actually preventing people from developing illness. we hear these people are asymptomatic and it's going to be important over time to see are there other people who subsequently became infected as a result of these two people who are in

sanjay gupta explains why the variant is causing so much concern.y. >> reporter: we are just 300,000 doses administered. it's not 70% that we wanted. we are probably at functional herd immunity or soon to be there. numbers coming down, hospitalizations, deaths, all of that. the question is about the variants. it's interesting to look around the world at the variants and see how much of an impact they're making. take a look at the u.k., for example, i think there's a story that's important that you see in the graphic. the end of january it was primarily the alpha or the u.k. variant that was dominant in the u.k. what happened over that time period? the numbers came down but at the same time the delta variant started to enter the scene. that was primarily obviously people who had not been vaccinated. that is the concern here. we know this is a much more transmissible variant. the u.k. or alpha variant was 50% more transmissible. this is 60% more transmissible than the alpha variant. the people who are infected with the delta variant are more likely to

sanjay gupta. so, sanjay, first, based on what you know, where do you stand on the issue?well, you know, i -- i -- i want to be very careful here. we -- we -- we -- i think dr. miesner would agree that we don't want to be, you know, empowering increased-vaccine hesitancy here. which is always a potential consequence. no question that, for an authorization, emergency-use authorization, that the -- the -- the sort of ratio of benefits outweighing the risks have to be proven. for all the reasons that dr. miesner is saying. and that may involved more involved safety studies. you know, when they did 12 to 15-year-old authorization, they did more what they call bridging trials. they bridged a lot of the data from older people to that -- that age group. with younger people, you are going to have to do these safety trials and -- and more complete data's going to need to be, you know, really accrued here. to -- to prove that benefit-risk ratio. i think, you know, one of the things i think, you know, is important to remember is that we look at hospitalizations. we look at deaths. bu

sanjay gupta.ecially and their parents for that matter be about this? >> i think people should be aware but not alarmed by this, wolf. we are talking about something that increasingly looks like there's some sort of association here between the vaccines and this condition moaknown as myocarditis. we're getting some numbers of what we're talking about. you'll see it's a fairly rare condition in people 16 and 17, 2.3 million doses given, 79 reported cases. for those that are older, about 196 reported cases out of 9.8 million doses so it's rare, wolf. i think the bottom line number there is what the myocarditis background rate is and that's how these experts made this conclusion that there seems to be some link. be aware, chest pain, fever, those are some of the symptoms. if somebody has those symptoms after the vaccine, get it checked out. all these patients were able to go home and treated successfully. >> how much do we still need to learn about potential side effects from all of the various covid

sanjay gupta. and, sanjay, thanks for joining us.a lot of kids are resilient. but this was an incredibly tough year. and i'm not even getting into the fact that there are 30 million americans that don't have internet access. you have school-aged kids yourself. from a health and wellness perspective from the children across this country, what concerns you the most? >> well, even going into the pandemic, jake, pre-pandemic, there were already concerns about children's mental and emotional health, which had been sort of rising over the past several years. by october of last year a third of parents then said that their child's emotional health was worse than the year before. a third of parents, 33% of parents in this country said that. so there was obviously a significant toll. what worries me most, jake, i think in some ways you alluded to it, but there are obviously some kids who probably will come out of this more resilient. they had a lot of resources. and while it was tough, and i don't mean to minimize that, it was far tougher for

sanjay gupta. sanjay, always good to see you. to add a warning to these two vaccines, pfizer and moderna, after some, a very small number, but some young people reported heart inflammation post-vaccine. first of all, how serious is this condition? i understand it's very rare, but how serious is it? and should teens ask their doctor before getting vaccinated? >> yeah, i think this warning will drive those conversations for sure between patients and their providers. and providers will also be more aware that this is a possibility. but all the cases of myocarditis which is something that's reasonably worth investigating were mild cases and easily treated. we do know that at this point. let me build on what erica was saying for a second out of this meeting. we put together this graph to give you an idea of how they look at the risk-benefit ratio. for females if you're getting out of a million second doses that are administered, you would prevent 8,500 cases of covid, 103 versus eight to ten treatable myocarditis cases. for males you

and you've done so much research in this area, sanjay.e maybe in that rubble without water or without food. >> you know, preface as i will every time anybody asked this question, it varies. it does, situation to situation. often times, people refer to rule of threes, three minutes without air. three days when it comes to water, three weeks when it comes to food. very rough approximations. what we're talking about primarily is hydration. someone was in a void, able to have access to the environment, be able to breathe in air, would they have access to water, if there was water sprayed on rubble because of fires, there was weather in terms of rain. that's what i saw in haiti. i don't know if we have the gr graphic. in 2010 when i covered the earthquake, there were at least two people pulled from the rubble confirmed many days afterwards. it was primarily because they did have access to water in some way, what we were able to sort out with them. those are the big considerations, wolf. >> certainly are. rick, i interrupted you at the start of

sanjay gupta is with us. you've been here throughout the day. you were here for another story yesterday and you came down here. talk about what you've seen throw the day. >> well, you know, it's been an on again/off again sort of search and rescue. you know, there's been weather, you can see right now, this is more activity, i think, than we've seen in a few hours. so for a period of time, when all the rain was there, it really did hamper their efforts. >> it's such a desire to find somebody and get to them as quickly as possible, and the very real dangers of the structure collapsing on them. of them removing debris can shift the structural balance. >> we're seeing a portion of a building, obviously, that is still standing, that has another portion that's gone. so we're very worried about that. and also, you can smell the air here. all the fumes. these rescue workers are in 15-minute shifts because they want to reduce the exposure to these fumes. >> which is something a lot of folks learned after 9/11. this smoke is not good. >> it's not good. a

sanjay gupta. >>> thounow, some experts are calling covid the forever virus saying it won't disappears changing nature. for many former covid patients, the same is true about symptoms and side effects caused by the virus, called long haulers and they have been left with medical issues long after their initial covid infection. one long hauler was heidi, a mother and hollywood screen writer, after fighting constant other symptoms, she died by suicide late in hey. earlier i spoke with her husband who described her struggle. >> for her, it was multiple syndromes. she had the equivalent of ddoctr e e e ex-crush greating neuropathy all day, and she had a lot of pain as well in her intestinal track. digesting food was extremely painful. she had neurological tremors in her upper body and vibrations within her chest caused by the neurological issues that kept her from sleeping at night. she said it felt like my chest is vibrating and i have like a fizzing feeling in my veins. and it was extremely distracting. and when you add on just the discomfort of not sleeping, we all know what that feels

to go get vaccinated. >> thanks for that, sanjay. this week, a grim reminder that the covid-19 pandemic is not over, the u.s. lost 600,000 americans to the coronavirus. those aren't just numbers, they're mothers, fathers, sons, brothers, sisters, friends, lost to covid-19. that means there are more than 600,000 families grieving. including the wife of nick cordero that documented his battle with coronavirus. now, she's opening up more about what the days are life, how she coped with grief following her husband's death, while raising their son elvis. it is all in a new book out now, live your life, my story of loving and losing nick cordero. and the co-host of the talk and celebrity fitness trainer joins me. amanda, great to have you with us to talk about the personal story. the book is incredible. i want you to tell us how are you and elvis doing first of all? >> thank you so much for having me today. we are doing all right. we have my whole family in town right now and they have been a huge support to us. you know, it's almost the o

sanjay gupta, thank you very much. let's hope more people get vaccinated quickly because this thing is clearly spreading way, way too much. >> best way to protect yourself and others, it's in the data. >>> hours from now president biden will announce his plan to curb gun violence and a rise in crime as the nation really reels, many cities in the country reeling from this. >>> in the u.s., there have been 296 mass shootings, 16 mass murders, events in which four or more people have been killed in this year. let's get to john harwood for more details on what we'll hear from biden today which, aside from executive orders, will include yet another call on congress to act, right? >> reporter: that's right. one of the things joe biden has learned in his long career, the federal government in washington may have limited comprehension for why crime is going up and limited ability to do much about it. the one thing the federal government cannot do and the president and the white house cannot do is ignore the situation. joe bide

sanjay gupta joins us now. explain why it is so critical that we get more young people vaccinated. >> yeah. first of all, the numbers, the 70 % number may be the exact number may be less important. it's pretty clear that the country is getting a lot of immunity. the case numbers continue to go down. hospitalizations and deaths. thankfully, i mean, 11,000 roughly is the average case number now. if we get below 10,000, that's the number dr. fauci and others have talked about saying we go into containment mode on the virus where we can get our arms around this. but why it's critically important is because these -- you look at the new variants, and we see how transmisable they are, and we see what's happening in other countries where younger and younger people are getting hospitalized. young people thought look, this is not something i need to worry about. that was the message therm given. that's changing with the new variants. that's part on the it. also a more nuanced issue we've talked about in the past is that

sanjay gupta is with us.> good morning. >> how effective are the current vaccines used in the united states with both doses, if it's a dual dose vaccine, how effective are they? >> we can show you data on this. when you look at these numbers, keep in mind they basically take this variant and put it in a test tube with the vaccine and see how many antibodies are generated. antibodies protect you. you can see, compared to the uk, if you have two doses of pfizer, you have a little drop-off in terms of overall antibody activity, but pretty good. you can see it drops off for astrazeneca. but look at the far right. this is an important piece of data here, one dose versus two doses. remember we talked about this a few months ago, thinking, we may run out of doses, let's give one dose instead. people pushed back. yo you're seeing why now. these variants are much more protective if you get two doses. >> that's good to hear and a reminder. you're not vaccinated until you get both shots and get two or three weeks afterw

sanjay gupta joins me now. you heard that report, sanjay. you're a dad.uld you tell parents? >> well, you know, i got my girls vaccinated and they are between the ages of 12 and 15 and when that became ought raised i got them vaccinated. that was the result of doing lots of homework and making microjudgments and putting it all to go. i would tell you from a macro standpoint, pamela, if i would tell you there's hundreds of kids who have died of a new disease, tens of thousands who have been hospitalized and -- and there's a vaccine for it, if you didn't know anything else about this pandemic you would probably say thank you, there's a vaccine. we've already put it in the context of comparing this to adults but there is large numbers, you know, here as well. much smaller risk than in adults but not zero ring. also i think to phil's point in his piece, phil black, the long-term impact of this virus, we are still learning so much about this virus, a virus that can give you isolated loss of smell. how does that do that? what is it doing to the brain? my point
