0:11.7	time to be with us here today and Bubba today we'll talk about a topic that is on everyone's
0:17.1	mind and that is the ongoing effort to get the vaccine for COVID-19 to enough people in
0:25.1	our country that hopefully and hopefully we can get to the other side of this pandemic.
0:29.8	We've all been affected by this, you've had it, I've had it, Dr. Saga has had it. Dr. Michael
0:36.2	Saga is with us, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at UAB and he's a pretty smart
0:42.7	guy Rick and he's going to educate us on the very latest on COVID-19. Dr. Saga, welcome to Rick and

1:42.9	good job. Yeah, they really are and if, let me jump back to HIV for a minute because I think
1:48.9	it's a prelude to this. A lot of the reason we have a vaccine right now and a lot of the reason
1:54.5	we have tests and we have treatments all within the matter of a year, just think about that for a second.
