Hey, Catherine. How's it going?

I'm doing okay. How are you?

I'm doing fine. I mean, as well as one can be.

Apparently there's just been a shelter and place order in the Bay Area

Which would be a suggestion at least at this point that people are not to leave their homes.

And that's coming on the heels of New York and LA within the last 24 hours closing restaurants and bars and leaving a lot of people

with uncertainty about exactly what, if any, leaving of the house is okay and not to mention the financial uncertainties of

everyone who works in those industries. Can I ask you a couple of things about

a couple of things that I saw and I'm just curious about I saw

like some news items and I'm interested to hear your take I'll do my best I saw something

that coronavirus vaccine testing began and I thought yesterday you told me it was a year to develop the vaccine.

Yeah, and so how how to what does that mean? Well from the very beginning they've been saying that we'll have as early as April

So this is a little earlier than expected a prototype that we can start giving to people but you don't

It requires testing and it requires multiple rounds giving to

give you don't it requires testing and it requires multiple rounds of testing and increasingly large groups of people to make sure the vaccine is safe and effective in early stages when you're just getting a little strand of viral genetic

info, DNA or RNA, you put it into a person and it causes an immune response that maybe

may be protective and maybe isn't and in some cases can cause different sorts of

inflammatory responses that we don't want or even sensitize a person to make them more likely to

conduct the disease so that and that's why we need to test them.

This is not to plant like widespread vaccine skepticism.

I mean the fact that it goes through this long testing process is why the ones that we have now are as safe as they are,

but we don't just want to put a prototype that into.
