IS THERE ANY CHANCE THAT OVER
TIME HER IMMUNITY MAY ACT AS A
DEFENSE FOR THOSE OF US WITH
COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS, OR
IS THIS THE TYPE OF ILLNESS
THAT HER IMMUNITY4@ NEVER HAPPE?
>> THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION AND
SEVERAL YEARS DO4@WN THE ROAD.
MEASLES, WHICH IS A DISEASE
WE'VE ALL HEARD OF.
YOU NEED ABOUT4@ 95 TO 97% OF T
POPULATION TO BE VACCINATED OR
TO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED OR
CONTRACTED TO GET HERD IMMUNITY.
IT IS A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE
OF THE POPULATION THAT HAVE
BEEN INFECTED OR HAVE
ANTIBODIES.
ANTIBODIES. WE AR4@E A LONG WAY OFF FROM TH.
BUT HERD IMMUNITY IS A GREAT
CONCEPT.
CONCEPT.

IMMUNE, WE WILL BE BRINGING IT
TO THE PE4@OPLE WHO MAY BE MORE
VULNERABLE.
VULNERABLE. IT IS A LONG WAY OFF FOR
CORONAVIRUS BECAUSE IT IS SO
NEW.
NEW.
NEW. .>>
NEW. .>> I HEARD THAT IT CAN TRAVEL
THROUGH THE AIR FOR SOMETHING
LIKE THREE HOURS. 4@4@
KENNETT ALSO ATTACHED TO POLLEN
AND REMAIN AIRBORNE FOR
LONGER?>> A VERY INTERESTING
THOUGHT.4@4@
THOUGHT.4@4@ I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN.
JUST BECAUSE A VIRUS CAN BE IN
THE AIR OR ON SURFACES DOES NOT
MEAN THAT IS HOW SOMEONE WILL
CATCH IT.
CATCH IT.
CATCH IT. SO FAR I DON'T BELIEVE THERE
HAVE BEEN REPORTED CASES OF
SOMEONE CONTRACTING THE VIRUS
FROM A SURFACE.
THE WAY THE VIRUS WILL GET TO
YOU IS PERSON-TO-PERSON, WHICH
IS WHY WE ARE STAYING AT HOME.
JUST BECAUSE IT IS4@ IN THE AIR
DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE WILL CATCH
JUST BECAUSE IT IS4@ IN THE AIR DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE WILL CATCH@
IT THAT WAY.
I DO4@N'T BELIEVE THERE IS DATA
THAT IT CAN ATTACH TO POLLEN,
SO YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE SAFELY AS
LONG AS YOU KEEP A SOCIAL
DISTANCE 4@FROM PEOPLE. DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE POLLEN.
EVEN IF IT IS IN THE AIR, THAT
IS NOT HOW IT WILL GET YOU SICK.
>> I THINK HE MIGHT BE
REFERENCING A REPORT 4@OUT
YESTERDAY THAT HEALTH EXPERTS
SAY THAT IT IS AIRBORNE 4@AND Y
CAN GET IT BY BREATHING AROUND
SOMEONE WHO HAS IT.
>> IT IS AIRBORNE.
IF SOMEONE WHO HAS IT TALKS TO
YOU AND SPITS ON YOU OR EXHALES
ON YOU, THEN POTENTIALLY.
IT IS NOT IN THE AIR FOR THE
PERSON THAT LEFT THE ROOM4@ AND
YOU COME IN OR4@ THEY ARE NOT 6
TO 12 FEET AWAY AND IT FLOATS
IN THE AIR TO GET TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT
4@UP.
4@UP.
4@UP. SAMANTHA IS ASKING MY NEXT-DOOR
NEIGHBOR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THEY
ARE TO4@4@ CHILDREN PLAYED WITH
MINE.
MINE.
MINE. >>
MINE. >> IT WAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO
AND EVERYONE AT YOUR HOME IS
OKAY, THEN YOU SHOULD BE OKAY.
THE TIMEFRAME FROM WHEN YOU
HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO WHEN YOU
ARE IN THE CLEA4@R IS TWO WEEKS
MEANING, IF YOU DO NOT 4@GET SI
WITH SYMPTOMS, IT WILL BE IN
THAT TWO WEEKS.
SO IF YOU GET 4@TO TWO WEEKS AN
YOU ARE OKAY, WHATEVER HAPPENED
YOU ARE FINE.
ONCE 4@YOU GET TO THE TWO WEEK
MARK YOU SHOULD BE OKAY IF
YOU'LL GET VERY SICK.
BUT WHAT PRECAUTIONS?
NOW WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING TO @
HAVE YOUR CHILDREN PLAY WITH
OTHER CHILDREN.
OTHER CHILDREN. BUT THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO
REINFORCE THIS BECAUSE WE HEAR
THESE NUMBERS AND THE NUMBERS
ARE SCARY.
ARE SCARY. 90% OF PEOPLE, 4@EVEN IF THEY G
IN THE HOSPITAL, ABOUT 96% OF
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO RECOVER
FROM THIS.
FROM THIS. 80% WILL NEVER NEED TO BE IN
THE HOSPITAL.
THE HOSPITAL. SO THE MAJORITY WILL BE OKAY.
I THINK WE HAVE TO REMEMBER
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. THE
THAT. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO GET
CORONAVIRUS ARE GOING TO BE
OKAY.>> LET'S MOVE ON TO JOSEPH@
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR A
VACCINE TO BE DEVELOPED?>> THAT
IS WHAT WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR.
IT WILL BE A MINIMUM OF 12 TO
18 MONTHS FROM ONE MONTH AGO.
SO 4@AT LEAST ANOTHER YEAR.
>> IF WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING
SOCIAL DISTANCING FOR WEEKS,
WHY ARE CASES INCREASING?
>> ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION.
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAYING
AT HOME WILL WORK ONLY IF WE
ALL DO IT'S.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING NOW ARE
CASES OUT THERE BEFORE WE
STARTED STAYING HOME.
I KNOW THIS WILL WORK AND WE
HAVE TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE
ENOUGH OF US ARE DOING IT 4@TO
4@MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH
PEOPLE ARE 4@DOING IT A WEEK OR
TWO AGO THAT IT MADE AN IMPACT
YET, ALTHOUGH, I THINK THIS IS
VALID, THOSE OF US THAT STAYED
HO4@ME IF WE DID NOT, THIS WOUL
BE WORSE.
BE WORSE.
BE WORSE. THE PEOPLE THAT GET SICK GET
SICK OVER A TIME PERIOD WHERE
WE ARE NOT OVERWHELMING THE
RESOURCES.
RESOURCES. IT WOULD BE HEARTBREAKING IN
THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD TO THINK WE ARE LOSING
PEOPLE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
THE EQUIPMENT TO KEEP THEM
ALIVE.
ALIVE.
ALIVE. WE
ALIVE. WE KNOW PEOPLE WILL DIE, BUT IF
THEY DIE AFTER WE'VE 4@DONE
EVERYTHING FOR THEM, THAT IS
EASIER THAN TO THINK IF WE
DON'T STAY HOME, EVERYONE GETS
SICK AND WE OVERWHELM THE ICU4@
