So I think that the possibility is that we're not going to see a national epidemic with

B-1-1-7, at least in the spring and the summertime.

It's a risk to the fall.

So what we're likely to see is regionalize epidemics with this new variant and the two

places in the country right now that are the biggest hotspots are Southern California

and Southern Florida, Miami.

So those cities need to be very mindful of the spread of these variants.

Now we know what works.

Prior immunity in the vaccines do appear to be as effective against this new variant.

So as we immunize more of the population and if people continue to wear masks and be

vigilant in these parts of the country, we can keep this at bay.

It's not too late.

But it's a real risk to those regions of the country right now.

For the fall, like it's not bad now.

That's the first time I've heard anybody talking about things being bad in the fall.

So I wasn't very excited to hear Dr. Gottlieb say that on face the nation yesterday.

Yeah.

I mean, I said to excuse me the other day, I was on it's probably the vid.

I said the other day on the golf course and I was not greeted warmly.

I said, I'm actually getting myself mentally prepared for this never changes.

Never?

Yeah.
