is this a sentiment shared by the majority of students at the university of minnesota? gally emergency phone calls to the police there is a reason it is illegal, pete, it's because it makes communities less safe. pete: there is nothing else going on in minneapolis and minnesota these days that the police might have to deal with like an autonomous zone in the city which they still haven't dealt with. we reached tout university and the student government as well lauren herself. here are the responses. the university respects the autonomy of the student association. in thin stance university unequivocally disagrees with the ideas expressed about interrupting the university of minnesota police department's daily work. these are illegal. the student government in a state says this. they said that comments were made not in an official organizational position and msa has never advocated for false emergency calls as for lauren meyers herself, we asked for comment she said the remarks i made in an april 14th meeting were said out of frustration. so let me be clear, i have never e

in october of 2018, the university of minnesota initiated its resilient drug supply project. first we examined based upon country of origin for active ingredients and finished drug products. when we looked at the top brands, generic and critical access drugs we found nearly all drug products have the name of a u.s.-based company on the label or a u.s. subsidiary of a foreign company from the downstream perspective, nearly all drug products in the u.s. market appear to be u.s. products. but when we looked at the opaque upstream supply chain we found as much as 80% of the finished drug products were made outside the united states. most of the brand products were made in europe. most of the generic products were made in india. with up to 70% of their key starting materials being provided by china. and most of the critical access drugs was made in either china or india and about 20% had totally undisclosed sources in the market. while production of pharmaceuticals in foreign countries is not necessarily a bad thing, the current level of dependency on foreign sources in the u.s. su

mary moriarty is a former public defender in minneapolis and currently teaches at the university of minnesota law school. she has more on what the appeal means. almost all of the grounds have already been raised throughout the trial some multiple times. and so there really isn't a lot new there. one thing that is new is they are alleging germ misconduct. and that is very vague. in fact, the, the defense asked the judge for more time to develop the points that they've made here. because some of them are so vague, they're hard to know what they're specifically referring to. but one of the reasons they're bringing up your misconduct is because one of the jurors has been getting interviews publicly and had talked about going, or he actually hadn't talked about. it did participate in march in washington dc in august. and when he was asked on the questionnaire or whether he had participated, typically in any protests, over police brutality, he said no. so that may be one of the grounds, although i don't think that has any merit either. but this is a standard motion that defense lawyers would typica

back with us tonight a professor and the director at the university of minnesota and a covid advisorsition team. thank you very much for coming on. what would life be like with herd immunity and is it your determines that we are go to miss that brass ring as a society? >> first of all, herd immunity has come to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. if you lined up ten different people in the business they would have ten different definitions. what it means is that when you have enough protection in the community. immune rods that go into the virus reactor, you start to shut down the transmission. there is nobody to transmit it to. at this point 85 to 90% of the population is immune you won't see transmission. that varies. i worked up major measles epidemics in minnesota where we had 92% of the population immune against measles but it still hit the 6 to 8% that otherwise were connected by neighborhoods or social groups and et cetera. right now with this virus, it is a situation where we don't need to have herd immunity to have a major impact. the last 100 days is nothing short of a

university of minnesota he was also a covid adviser in the biden transition team. very much for coming on. what would life be like with herd immunity and is it your determination that we're going to miss that brass ring as a society? >> well first of all, herd immunity has actually come to mean a lot of things to a lot of different people and i think if you lined up any ten different people in this business still have ten different definitions. the bottom line is what it means is that when you have enough protection in the community, in other words, i mean rods that go into that virus reactor. i mean people. then you start to shut down the transmission. there's nobody to transmit it to and that has always been a theoretical valued says at this 0.85, 90% of the population is immune, and basically you won't see transmission. now that varies with each infectious agent. i've worked up major epidemics in a state like minnesota where we had 92% of the population against measles but it was so infectious that six to 8% were connected by neighborhoods or social groups etc.

let me mention the name carolyn lead there a demographer at the university of minnesota who was census bureau the kind of pioneering examination of the data. i think with the data tell us is on some level the fluidity of these identities is not soluble within the sense of framework. this is something we're going to have to learn to live with and any census we are going to see a selective representation with people of mixed background in that representation may differ from one census tos another. and again that's why think winning very large-scale surveys to help us illuminate a better social positioning that lies behind the census data. >> going to have to wrap up in a minute or two here's one more question for anyone on the panel, what role if any do committee demographics play with self identification with mixed race individual? those are half hispanic half white likely to identify with hispanic era are predominately white era? >> i think it also depends where they live now and what their socio- use are at the present. think it was actually dee has said context is important and i agr
