1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Welcome the prognosis. I'm Laura Carlson. It's day three hundred 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: and seven since coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. Today's 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: main story. The vaccine rollout in the US has been chaotic. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: What can we expect will change under a Biden administration? 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: But first, here's what happened in virus News today. The 6 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: world's about to hit a frightening COVID nineteen benchmark, with 7 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: two million people dead, Global infections aren't expected to start 8 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: dropping anytime soon. The US is leading all countries and deaths, 9 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: with Brazil, India, Mexico and the UK next in line. Meanwhile, 10 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: New York City will run out of vaccines next week. 11 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: The city's mayor, build A. Blasio said in an interview 12 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: today that there will be no more doses available after 13 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: this week unless there is the supply infusion. Hospitals across 14 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 1: the city have canceled or stopped scheduling appointments for people 15 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: to get the COVID nineteen vaccine. In Italy, an advisor 16 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: says the country needs to reimpose strict lockdown measures. Walter Richiardi, 17 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: an advisor to the health minister, said in an interview 18 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: that the current system of on again, off again curbs 19 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: has failed to prevent a coronavirus resurgence. The original European 20 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: epicenter of the pandemic, Italy, imposed a nationwide lockdown in 21 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: the spring, despite more than two million virus cases to 22 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: date and a resurgence in recent weeks. The government has 23 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: thus far opted for a three tier system based on 24 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: regional restrictions that are generally softer the the measures scene 25 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: last spring. Finally, Fiser has notified countries around the world 26 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: that it will deliver fewer doses of its COVID nineteen 27 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: vaccine in the next three to four weeks as it 28 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: works to renovate a factory in Belgium. The renovations will 29 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: serve to boost capacity from mid February. According to statements 30 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: from Norway, Germany and the company. The factory in Pures 31 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: supplies the vaccine to all countries in the world outside 32 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: of the US. That's according to the German Health Ministry. 33 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: And now for today's main story. An accelerating rush to 34 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: give coronavirus vaccines to Americans has caused confusion over who 35 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: can get a shot when, and the difficulty getting shots 36 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: or even information about the vaccine is complicating to push 37 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: towards widespread immunity. I spoke to health reporter Michelle fake 38 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: Cortez about what's going wrong with the vaccine rollout thus 39 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: far and whether the upcoming Biden administration's plans for it 40 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: will improve anything. COVID nineteen vaccines have been available in 41 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the US for almost over a month now, but there 42 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: still seems to be a great deal of confusion about 43 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: who is eligible to get a vaccine and where one 44 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: can get a vaccine. I mean, just briefly, what has 45 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: led to things being so unclear at this point In 46 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: the United States, Every location has their own vaccine approach, 47 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and when I say location, I don't even mean state 48 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: or city. In some cases it's by county or even 49 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: by hospital. So where you go and when you go 50 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: in order to get access to a vaccine changes depending 51 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: on where you live. Not only that, the rules them 52 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: elves are changing. So in some cases, in some places, 53 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: if you're sixty five and older, universally you can get 54 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: access to the vaccinations, regardless of whether you're a health 55 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: care worker, first responder, if you have other medical conditions 56 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: or anything. In some other cases, it's still very specific. 57 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Only people who work in a hospital or live in 58 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: a nursing home can get access. So that's the first 59 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: level of complexity. The second level of complexity is that 60 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: even for those who do have access, actually accessing that 61 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: access is challenging. There are websites set up. Sometimes it's 62 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: the state or the city that has set up the websites, 63 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: sometimes it's a hospital. Those get overwhelmed. Many of them 64 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: are crashing repeatedly, and there's just no consistent outlet for 65 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: information on who, when, where to get vaccinations. And it 66 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: is an unbelievable conglomeration of formation and really no one 67 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: has mastered it yet. Is it also an issue of 68 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: enough people trained to store or administer the vaccines in 69 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: this particular moment as we're speaking right now, there is 70 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: not an issue with supply, not when it comes to 71 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: the vaccines and not when it comes to the people 72 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: who are willing to administer them. That being said, as 73 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: we start rolling out more and more, supply is going 74 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: to be a critical issue. There's no way that we'll 75 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: be able to get that many shots into people's arms 76 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: in order to accommodate everyone who wants to get one. 77 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: That being said, we are seeing astonishing stories across the 78 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: country of healthcare workers who are volunteering, people who are 79 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: working in emergency rooms during the day and volunteering at 80 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: night to give injections, people who normally work in nursing 81 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: homes in other places going and doing the check ins 82 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: and volunteering their time and effort, because this really is 83 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: a nationwide effort, and especially those people on the front 84 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: lines really do know how urgent it is that we 85 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: get these vaccinations out there. Just last night, President elect 86 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden announced a one point nine trillion dollar plan 87 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: to combat the pandemic, including a strategy for rebooting the 88 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: vaccine rollout. I was wondering if you might go into 89 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: some detail about what exactly he's proposing and whether you 90 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: think it's going to be enough to turn this around. 91 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: President elect Biden has been very clear from the beginning 92 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: that he wants to have a more national approach when 93 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: it comes to fighting coronavirus. That's certainly the case when 94 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: it comes to this vaccination rollout, which of course is 95 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: going to be the foundation for getting rid of the 96 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: virus not only in the US but in the world. 97 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: So he unrolled a twenty billion dollar plan to make 98 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: sure that we have a universal vaccination program in place. 99 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: This is going to be critically important because it's going 100 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: to take the process away from that free for all 101 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: that we're seeing among the states and locations and really 102 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: kind of hone it in. Most critically, it's going to 103 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: give the states and locations the money that it needs 104 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: to get this work done, and in many cases, what 105 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: we've seen is the lack of money and manpower that 106 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: has made it such a challenge. Now the details of 107 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: the program are still to come, but we do know 108 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: that it's going to be a twenty billion dollar effort. 109 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: It's going to involve things like helping locations rent out 110 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: big spaces like sports stadiums and amphitheaters, including doing things 111 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: like setting up twenty four hour vaccination clinics and even 112 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: even putting some of them on wheels, getting out some 113 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: mobile units that will be able to bring the vaccines 114 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: to the more rural and remote parts of our country 115 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: so that everybody will have access to the vaccine, not 116 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: just based on where they live. As far as the 117 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: ability to hit President elect Biden's goal, which is a 118 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: hundred million vaccinations in the first hundred days of his presidency, 119 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: that's going to be a little bit of a challenge. 120 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: We've already seen that we're getting closer to the rate 121 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: of one million vaccinations a day as the healthcare system 122 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: has been rolling out this process. So we are getting better, 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: but there is going to be a heavy lift to 124 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: get us to the next level. Now. One of the 125 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: elements that has popped up in the news quite a 126 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: bit is the difficulty in storing these vaccines that level 127 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: of fragility in terms of making sure that the vaccine 128 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: is still viable. How perhaps is that contributing to some 129 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: of the confusion about how quickly vaccines can be distributed 130 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: and administered. One of the challenges is definitely the fact 131 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: that these first vaccines that we have are m RNA vaccines, 132 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: the kind that have to be kept in subarctic temperatures. 133 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: The key problem here is that once you thaw them, 134 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: they have to be used right away. You can't save 135 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: them up for later. There are stories of people who 136 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: are offered the vaccine because they're in a grocery store, 137 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: or they're walking down a street close to a vaccination 138 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: clinic that has extra shots left over, and they're going 139 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: to have to throw them away, so they're out there 140 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: scrambling to give them to anyone that might be willing 141 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: to take them. For lack of better explanation, that's becoming 142 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: less and less common as the number of people who 143 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: can qualify have been increased in these locations. Understand that 144 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: they need to have a bigger number of people waiting 145 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: so that we have people waiting for the vaccine, not 146 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: the vaccine waiting for the people, So we're seeing less 147 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: and less of that. Another concern is that the vaccines 148 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: are difficult to break down into smaller lots, so they 149 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: get sent out in large numbers and you have to 150 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: vaccinate a large number of people at one time, so 151 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: it's harder to get to rural and small areas. I mean, 152 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: there does seem to be a push and pull debate 153 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: going on right now almost globally about whether to immunize 154 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: as many people as quickly as possible or making sure 155 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: the eligible people, the people in line for first, get 156 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: their doses first. Absolutely, it's exactly what we're talking about here. 157 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: The issue is quantity versus quality, and it's the issue 158 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: of what's good for the global health versus what's good 159 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: for the individual health. So we know that in order 160 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: to get protection against the virus, we're going to need 161 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: to get to hurt immunity. That means at least the 162 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: population is either going to need to have been vaccinated 163 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: or to have been infected with the virus. The best 164 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: way to get to those kind of numbers is to 165 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: just open the spigots and vaccinate as many people as 166 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: you can. Let's get the line set up and just 167 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: go seven as much as you can. Use every bit 168 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: of the vaccine the minute it comes off of the 169 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: the production line, get it into someone's arms. That's the 170 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: most efficient way to get to those high numbers. The 171 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: challenge there is that there's some portions of the population 172 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: that are significantly lower risk. So if you're going to 173 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: be vaccinating people like you and need potentially who are younger, 174 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: perhaps more healthy, don't have as many comorbidities, not living 175 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: in a nursing home, not seeing patients with coronavirus every day, 176 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: the fact that we're protected against it is going to 177 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: have less global impact on the virus itself, and it's 178 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: going to have less benefit in terms of reducing deaths, 179 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: for example, because we would be already at low risk 180 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: for contracting the virus and dying from it. So the 181 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: issue is whether you really want to make sure that 182 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: the right people get vaccinated, which is a more difficult ask. 183 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: You have to have more hurdles, you have to have 184 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: more slatting, You have to be evaluating each person as 185 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: opposed to just opening up the floodgates. On the other hand, 186 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: if you open the floodgates, fewer of those people who 187 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: are high risk are going to be able to get vaccinated. 188 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: They're going to be competing against millions and millions of 189 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: other people who need it. So it's a question of 190 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: what do you want to do. Do you want to 191 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: protect all the healthcare workers, do you want to protect 192 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: for the people who are most likely to die. Do 193 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: you want to protect first the people who are most 194 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: likely to be spreading the virus, or do you just 195 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: want to get to hurt immunity as quickly as you can. 196 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: The paths to both of those things are different, and 197 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: every state, every location is trying to split the difference 198 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: here and figure out how they want to best protect 199 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: their populations, you know, trying to adhere to perhaps the 200 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: quality side versus the quantity side, making sure the people 201 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: most at risk are getting those doses first is a 202 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: very tall logistical order, and and there have been accusations 203 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: that really America's infrastructure just can't cope with this. I mean, 204 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: what what is your response to that, you know, is 205 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: the system as it exists able to handle this incredibly 206 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: complex logistical challenge. It's a great question, and it's only 207 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: going to get worse as the numbers get bigger. I 208 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: think the challenge that we've seen early on in this 209 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: endeavor to start vaccinations is the fact that it's the 210 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: beginning of this massive undertaking. It's just hard to get 211 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: these shots out to people, going through the cold changed storage, 212 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: thawing everything, handling everything in exactly the right way, knowing 213 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: which people you want to send to which nursing home, 214 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: and administering all the shots. It's just tricky. And the 215 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: more that they do that, the more that our healthcare 216 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: professionals are on the front lines and getting this done, 217 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: the more smoothly this process is going to happen. The 218 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: challenge is that we're going to have millions and millions 219 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: more people who are lining up and wanting this in 220 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: the days and weeks to come. We did see challenges 221 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: early on. I don't think that should have been surprising 222 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: for anyone, But really, we were only trying to vaccinate 223 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: twenty million or fewer people in these first few weeks. Now, 224 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: with both the Trump administration and the Biden administration saying 225 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: that we should be trying to vaccinate everybody sixty five 226 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: and older, that's a hundred and twenty eight million people. 227 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: So the challenge is just going to be exponentially greater. 228 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: That was Michelle Fake Cortez.
