to be involved and you can't figure out where or how to be involved, you buy stocks like perhaps tyson foods, because people -- or waste management, because they are always going to be collecting garbage or maybe some of the exchange stocks like i.c.e., i-c-e, which will benefit from all the volatility that clearly lies ahead of us. listen, there's always something to do. the bottom line is, when we get into these periods where there's really a lot of unknowns, sometimes the best thing simply to do is to do nothing or just get out of the way and wait for the tanks to come down the field, then stick your head back up. there's always something to do down the road. liz: yeah. chill for a minute. but phil, unpredictable picks during an unpredictable time. my team and i were talking this morning, what is a word that has described this week. it's very unpredictable. what do you look at? i like teddy's idea of simply staying with things like i.c.e. which owns the new york stock exchange but on top of everything else, it benefits from trades whether they are up or down. what do you think? what are y

i worked on numerous poultry farms for tyson foods. because of my background with numerous aspects of the supply chain from the farm to the storefront i could attest to the obstacles i witnessed and brought forth. as one of the witnesses mentioned, farmers are having to dump out produce which is devastating impact on the bottom line. the type of issues also have trickle-down effects. when farmers struggle, distributors and small businesses struggle. this burden is then passed on to the american consumer and might run into the issues of accessing the food supply and certainly will have an impact on the pricing. going forward, congress must ensure we take appropriate actions for the food supply system and thereby provide for the local communities during this unprecedented time. congress worked to pass emergency relief legislation. one of those provisions of this release extended unemployment insurance giving people the ability to draw unemployment and receive an additional $600 per week. while well-intentioned, this policy created undue

in march, at these two plants, one run by tyson, and the second run by purdue food company. many were asymptomatic. many didn't know they had had, but that meant they could spread is to others. the eastern shore was dramatically taxed by this fast-moving and little-understood crisis at the time. that was our first hot spot in virginia. other states had their hot spots. that was ours. thank goodness, as virginians have grappled with this crisis and as we've grappled with it across the country, there have been some protections. and i want to stand and talk about the protections that have been provided to virginians at this time by the affordable care act. about 400,000 virginians have medicaid because of the affordable care act. virginia embraced the expansion of medicaid years ago. many have been able to get insurance, many for the first times in their lives. that 400,000-plus have been able to access care. virginians have been protected if they had preexisting conditions and now having had coronavirus is a preexisting prg condition. and the many people who suffer from long h
