Mr. Avicro, thank you so much for joining us today.

One of the things I want to talk to you about in response.

I know you are part of repairing declaration in October 2020.

It said, hey, don't lock down these schools.

Don't do these lockdown restrictions.

But how are you a part of trying to open these schools back up in the economy?

The American Enterprise Institute, where I have a lot of friends,

they put out a white paper authored by a number of their leading healthcare experts,

supporting the lockdown strategy and saying,

we're going to have to keep the economy locked down until there's a vaccine.

Prior to COVID, the land speed record for developing a new vaccine was five years.

You're not going to keep the entire society shut down for five.

You can't keep the society shut down for one year.

Right.

And so we just started cranking action and said, look,

we have to build the scientific case for Congress, for the White House,

for governors, for state legislators, for school districts,

where we say instead of thinking about how to keep everyone shut down,

let's use all the available data we have to say what can safely reopen.

To give an example, you know, you have a automated car wash

that literally no humans are washing your car.
