a quick look at the numbers we have, massachusetts general hospital, 41 employees tested positive, tuftsedical center reporting 31, boston medical saying they have more than a dozen employees, those numbers gather together by "the boston globe" but it's also worth noting, not reported among these numbers are a number of other hospitals that do not share how many positive cases they may have tested among their ranks from their workers, also worth noting that not all hospital workers are actually in contact with patients as part of their job so it wasn't necessarily a patient interaction or that any patient would've been ultimately affected by a recent trip to the hospital. so in short those infected did not necessarily contract covid-19 network, they very well may have contracted it outside in the community and also worth the point is we are seeing the numbers increasing broadly throughout the public, we will also see that among numbers increase among hospital staff, medical workers, other vital personnel as the number of testing goes up in those communities as well. dana, back to you. >>

from tufts university's school of medicine, in 2015 he wrote this piece. is herd immunity so important? doctor, there are only two ways to become immune and we don't have one of them. that's the vaccine, correct? >> yes, michael, that is correct. i think the foreign concept for people to remember is that epidemics have been occurring, as you mentioned, since the middle ages. previously it wasn't such a problem because people were more isolated. they lived in small groups and population density was much lower and obviously there wasn't international travel. an epidemic begins when a large segment of the population lacks immunity to the particular germ that is circulating, in this case it's the virus or the covid-19 virus. as you say the only way to develop immunity against an infectious disease is either by experiencing the infection and making your own antibodies or by administration of a vaccine that stimulates the host make antibodies without experiencing the disease. that's the only two roots by which immunity has been developed. there was a risk of tra
