and inevitable, without a national strategy, that you will get spread. she is saying it is spreading from our south up to the north and the midwest.at national strategy, we just don't have a good handle on this virus. so has there been a failure, then, in strategy that things have been left at local, state or whatever levels, that there has been a central failure here? so, you can have local and state responses but you need a strong message from the federal government. for example, today, dr burke said that but at the same time in our government we are hearing that we should open up schools as soon as possible. we can't even get people to be strong and steadfast on saying that we need to wear a mask, we have to have physical distance and other infection control procedures. so without that message, we have this challenge. i see, so on messaging, and i know you have been holding your national conference this weekend, looking at what else america is doing wrong, what mistakes are being made, central messaging, you mentioned there, what else? so, essential strategy, for example, on testing. we are hearing different things from differe

most outbreaks are in rural areas in the midwest and the south.fda has been criticized pretty heavily over plasma treatment. what you think about the criticism directed at the agency? >> i think it is entirely unwarranted and disgraceful. the criticism from the legacy, old guard medical establishment has been insufficient data because there's not a random in the study were some patients get randomized with a placebo but it would be unethical to give any patient placebo and deny them plasma. we have data on 70000 americans with the strong safety profile and a clear survival benefit so we don't just want control trials during a health emergency. we can learn from historical controls before and after studies and other nonrandomized trials. jon: -- >> if you want to study, you don't randomized people jumping out of plan without a parachute. we can learn from other studies. jon: 70000 people benefit from the convalescent plasma. you are saying it would be wrong, medically unethical to simply take more people and studying them with a placebo and is alre

states, but it does feel to me like you look at the devastated communities in ohio and the industrial midwest, the south, it does feel to be like democrats dropped the ball and if donald trump figured that out and played to those communities in a way that we bear some blame for doing -- whether you agree with that? >> guest: yes, we totally agree on that and i talk about it in my book and i talked about it quite a bit. donald trump is both a symptom and a cause. he's a cause of tremendous pain and divisiveness and racism and xenophobia and everything else. but he's also a symptom. he was elected because there were too many people across the country, including those in white working class neighborhoods, but also black folks and brown folks across the country who were disenchanted with democrats and didn't believe we fall for them. they were confused about our stance on trade. donald trump went right in there and i'm not talking about what he did later when he ran for president he said i'm going to the things on fair trade agreement and i'm going to make sure working people across this country keep their

roll up their sleeves to do the hard work to contain this virus across the south and across the affected areas across the midwest where there's lots of transition going on. and then we can open up schools. in fact, i put out a couple weeks ago, an october 1 plan that puts forward a very simple way to do this by october 1. we can safely open up schools, colleges, maybe even have sporting events. >> how is that? what is your plan? what is the key to your plan you were just talking about that would make -- that would change things? >> the key to the plan is to bring every single state in the country down to what they call containment mode. and there's different definitions. some say one new case per million residents per day. others have less strict criteria, we can figure out what that level will be. there are some states in new england, like new hampshire and maine that are already there. others like georgia. like where you are. texas where i am, have a lot more work to do. but that's what we have to do, otherwise, if we try to open up the schools when there's so much virus circulating. right now in houston, 1300

schools in areas where there is lots of covid transmission, meaning most of the south and now moving up into the midwest, what that means is teachers will get sick and go to the hospital, possibly worse same with the bus drivers and parents and all it takes is a couple terrible things to happen in a school district and the whole thing will collapse. it will be a catastrophic failure. there still seems to be a tone deafness. you had mark meadows on a little earlier and he gave a false number saying it is only people over age 75 at risk of dying or severe illness. again, 20% under the age of 65 and if you're hispanic 35% of the deaths under the age of 65. i am very worried about the parents, the teachers, and the staff especially in the low income neighborhoods. >> there are things all of us can do even if there is a therapeutic that will prevent people getting very sick or god forbid dying and before this a real safe and effective vaccine. but i don't hear the national leadership, you know, really speaking out from the president on down at powerfully and strongly as they should be telling the american pu

that was at the same time my parents and 6 million other individuals left the south and they were now voters in the north, midwestand west and the fdr folks said hey, we cannot sell the democratic party, these individuals from the south know the democratic party is the party of slavery, segregation, jim crow law, the clan, et cetera, they watched a public relations campaign, fdr and his wife were doing the same things republicans used to do meeting with black leaders, making sure it was in the dominant black papers in the time and eleanor was hosting the wives of prominent black men are prominent black women in their own right, he got to thirtysomething, were not sure exactly and 32 but he started pulling out 35 and he got to 76% of the black vote and 36, however, black individuals did not self identify as a majority democrat until 48 with truman. essentially the short version of the book, republicans dropped the ball, the conservative movement dropped the ball when not enforcing the civil rights act with the 15th amendment and not supporting the civil rights act, and other words bill buckley was more concerned a

and came right down to baseline. midwest hovered around a lower level whereas what you're seeing in south and the west now is you can see the peaking of cases both in the southern states and some midwest and other states. let's quickly look at the virology. as i mentioned this is a beta coronavirus that has a number of structural proteins. the one that's important is the spike protein. actually those spikes that come out of the outer covering of the virus is the reason why when you look at it under electron microscopes looks like a crown with the spokes that come out of a crown and hence the word coronavirus which stands for crown. the receptor refers to receptors on the body cells and these are distributed widely throughout the body including the upper and lower respiratory tracts. the transmission is very clear. it's a respiratory virus with transmission among people in close contact, particles that remain in the air over time and in effective services no less so than person-to-person and the virus is found in multiple body fluids. however there role in transmission is unknown. animals including domesticated ones c
