START THIS MORNING WITH THE
FIRST HOUSE HEARINGS ON THE
JANUARY 6 INSURRECTION. THE
HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE WILL
MEET TODAY FOR THE START OF
POTENTIALLY MONTHS OF PUBLIC
TESTIMONY. TODAYS WITNESSES.
>> 4 POLICE OFFICERS WHO
PROTECTED CONGRESS THAT DAY,
TOO. FROM THE CAPITOL POLICE
INTO FROM THE DC METRO POLICE
DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING MICHAEL
FANONE WHO SUFFERED A HEART
ATTACK DURING THE SIEGE. AS
FAR AS WHOS ASKING THE
QUESTIONS. SPEAKER PELOSI IS
NOW POINTED TO REPUBLICANS TO
THE GROUP. CONGRESSMAN ADAM
KINZINGER WILL JOIN
REPRESENTATIVE LIZ CHENEY.
KINZINGER WAS ADDED AFTER
PELOSI REJECTED A COUPLE OF
MINORITY LEADER KEVIN
MCCARTHYS CHOICES FOR THE
PANEL.
>> PROPPING THE GOP LEADER TO
PULL ALL 5 OF HIS PICKS. THE
COMMITTEES CHAIR IS
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN BENNIE
THOMPSON IN A WASHINGTON POST
OPINION PIECE. HE WROTE THE
COMMITTEE WILL PROVIDE THE
DEFINITIVE ACCOUNTING. ONE OF
THE DARKEST DAYS IN OUR
HISTORY. CONGRESSMAN JAMIE
RASKIN, ADAM SCHIFF, BOTH THE
FORMER IMPEACHMENT MANAGERS
EXPLAINED THEIR GOALS FOR THE
HEARING.
>> WERE STARTING OFF WITH THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
BECAUSE THEY WERE ON THE FRONT
LINES DEFENDING CONGRESS
DEFENDING THE DEMOCRACY
AGAINST THESE WAVES OF A
MEDIEVAL STYLE VIOLENCE.
TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE TO
FULLY UNCOVER THE FACTS. SO
WHAT IS IT THAT PEOPLE DID AT
THAT RALLY TO INSTIGATE
VIOLENCE. HOW MANY OF THEM
WENT TO THAT RALLY FULLY
PLANNING TO DO VIOLENCE. EVEN
BEFORE IT BEGAN.
>> WHERE WAS THE FINANCING FOR
AND WHAT ROLE DID THE
ADMINISTRATION PLAYING IT.
>> CLASS A GOP LEADER MCCARTHY
MADE A LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO
GET MORE REPUBLICANS ON TO THE
SELECT COMMITTEE. HE
INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION ON THE
HOUSE FLOOR. THE POOR SPEAKER
PELOSI APPOINT ALL 5 OF HIS
PICKS TO THE GROUP, BUT HIS
EFFORT WENT NOWHERE IN THE
DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED
HOUSE. ALL THAT POLITICAL BACK
AND FORTH LEADING UP TO IT
WILL CERTAINLY BE A STORE DAY.
JOINING US NOW TO BREAK DOWN
WHAT COULD HAPPEN IS NBC NEWS
CAPITOL HILL CORRESPONDENT
LEIGH ANN CALDWELL,
CONGRESSIONAL REPORTER FOR
POLITICO NICHOLAS WU SULLY.
AND I WANT TO START WITH YOU.
PLEASE SET THE STAGE. HOW WILL
THE HEARINGS WORK TODAY. WHAT
CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE.
>> GOOD MORNING, JOE. THIS
WILL BE THE FIRST TIME THAT
CONGRESS OFFICIALLY HEARS FROM
RANK AND FILE POLICE OFFICERS
WHO WERE ON THE FRONT LINES ON
THAT DAY. NOW SOME OF THE
THINGS WERE GOING TO SEE IN
SOME OF THE TESTIMONY. OUR
VIEWERS MIGHT BE FAMILIAR
WITH, VIDEO OF OFFICER HODGES
WHO WAS TRAPPED AND BEING
FRESH IN THOSE DOORS AT THE
CAPITOL DURING THIS SIEGE. BUT
REPRESENTS ADAM SCHIFF TELLS
REPORTERS THAT WERE GOING TO
SEE NEW VIDEO THINGS THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN DIFFERENT ANGLES. SO
THERE WILL BE SOME NEW
TESTIMONY HERE. BUT AS FAR AS
THIS IS CONCERNED, ITS GOING
TO BE EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND
EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY BECAUSE A
LOT THESE OFFICERS ARE STILL
EXPERIENCING TRAUMA AND THE
FROM THAT DAY. SO IT COULD BE
AND FIXED REALLY DIFFICULT DAY
FOR THEM AS FAR AS THE
COMMITTEE IS CONCERNED, WERE
GOING TO HEAR OPENING
STATEMENTS FROM REPRESENTATIVE
BENNIE THOMPSON, THE TOP
DEMOCRAT AND REPRESENTATIVE
LIZ CHENEY, A REPUBLICAN IS
SIGNALS. HOW IMPORTANT TO THE
DEMOCRATS THINK HER POSITION
ON THE COMMITTEE AND HER ROLE
ON THIS COMMITTEE WILL BE ONE
OTHER THING, JOE, ITS GOING
TO BE REALLY INTERESTING
BECAUSE MOST HEARINGS ON
CAPITOL HILL. THERES A LOT OF
TENSION BETWEEN REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS. THIS HEARING
ALL THE MEMBERS, THE 2
REPUBLICANS IN THE 7 DEMOCRATS
ARE MOSTLY ON THE SAME PAGE.
>> NICHOLAS, LETS TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING ELSE THE CHAIRMAN
THOMPSON WROTE IN THE
WASHINGTON POST, HE SAID THIS
HEARING IS JUST THE BEGINNING
OF THE SELECT COMMITTEES WORK
WHEN IT COMES TO THE SECURITY
OF THE CAPITAL IN OUR
DEMOCRACY. NOTHING WILL BE OFF
LIMITS. WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING
OUT FOR TODAY AND IN THE WEEKS
AND MAYBE EVEN MONTHS AHEAD.
>> WHAT IM WATCHING FOR TODAY
IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS NEW
FOOTAGE FROM POLICE OFFICERS
IS GOING TO TELL US ITS JUST
GOING TO WHAT OTHER GROUPS
MIGHT HAVE BEEN PRESENT AT THE
INSTRUCTION THAT WE DIDNT
KNOW ABOUT OR WHAT SORT OF
WEAPONS BE CARRIED AND THEN
MOVING FORWARD FROM HERE.
INTELLIGENCE CHAIRMAN SCHIFF
TOLD US YESTERDAY THAT HE WAS
HOPING THERE BE GREATER
COMPLIANCE AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WITH THE
COMMITTEES REQUEST FOR
DOCUMENTS AND WITNESSES AND
THERE HAVE HIS INVESTIGATIONS
DURING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION. SO ILL BE
WAITING TO SEE WHETHER THIS
MEANS, THOUGH, BE BETTER
COOPERATION DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SECURITY,
OTHER WHO WERE STILL LOOKING
TO LEARN A LOT FROM ABOUT THE
INSURRECTION AND WHAT WE KNEW
ABOUT THREAT BEFORE HIM.
>> WE HAD NO SURPRISE. WEVE
SEEN PLENTY OF BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN SPEAKER PELOSI LEADER
MCCARTHY SURROUNDING THE
MAKEUP OF THIS COMMITTEE. BUT
NOW DOESNT LOOK LIKE WERE
SEEING A LARGER FRACTURE
BETWEEN MCCARTHY IN THE 2
REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE
CHANGING AND CHENEY AND
KINZINGER.
>> ABSOLUTELY. THE BACK AND
FORTH BETWEEN MCCARTHY AND
CHENEY AND KINZINGER
CONTINUES. NOW THATS THE
LEAK. BE CLEAR, CHENEY AND
KINZINGER HAVE NOT CARED ABOUT
REP POLITELY DER MCCARTHY HAS
SAID ABOUT THEM. THEY THINK
THAT THEYRE DOING THE RIGHT
THING AND THEY THINK THAT
LEADER MCCARTHY IS
CAPITULATING TO THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS BASE.
BUT THAT BACK AND FORTH
CONTINUED YESTERDAY. LETS
LISTEN TO WHAT MCCARTHY SAID
AND HOW THEY RESPONDED.
>> AND SOME REPUBLICANS HAVE
BEEN SAYING THAT SOME OF YOU.
THE GOP SHOULD PLAY BALL ON
THIS COMMITTEE. COULD DO WAS THAT ADAM. AND THEY KIND OF
THAT ADAM. AND THEY KIND OF
LIKE REPUBLICANS.
>> ITS ITS WERE GETTING THE
ANSWERS OF THE WORST ATTACK SINCE THE WAR OF 1812.
SINCE THE WAR OF 1812.
♪
>> SO THEY BOTH SAID THAT WHAT
LEADER MCCARTHY DOING IS
SAYING ABOUT THEM IS CHILDISH
BUT LEADER MCCARTHY HAS NOT
CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
SELECT COMMITTEE. BUT HE IS
HOLDING A PRESS CONFERENCE IN
THE NEXT HOUR WITH HIS 5
CHOICES. SO HES GOING TO TRY
TO SHAPE THE MESSAGE THAT HE
WILL DO THAT FROM THE OUTSIDE
NOT AS A PART OF THIS PROCESS.
JOE AND NICHOLAS, QUICKLY IN
THE END, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR
ANY OUTCOME TO BE WIDELY
ACCEPTED OR NO MATTER WHAT. IS
IT GOING TO BE DISMISSED ON
THE RIGHT AS PARTISAN.
>> REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
RAILING AGAINST THIS
COMMISSION AS PARTISAN.
>> AND THE STARTED EVEN YOU
KNOW IT. ITS WORTH
REMEMBERING THAT REPUBLICANS
IN THE SENATE FILIBUSTER BE
BIPARTISAN AT THE INDEPENDENT
PANEL. SO A LOT OF THIS COULD
POSSIBLY BE BOSS IN THE
PARTISAN MUDSLINGING
WASHINGTON. SO WELL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THAT IN THE
COMING MONTHS. ALL RIGHT.
LEIGH ANN CALDWELL AND
POLITICOS. NICHOLAS SMOOTH.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR KICKING US
OFF THIS MORNING. WE
APPRECIATE IT.
>> PUBLIC OFFICIALS ARE
CALLING FOR MORE RESTRICTIONS
AS THE U.S. SEES ANOTHER RISE
IN CORONAVIRUS CASES CITIES
ACROSS THE U.S. ARE NOW
BRINGING BACK MASK MANDATES AS
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY THEY
WONT LIFT THE BAN ON TRAVEL
FROM CERTAIN COUNTRIES. NBC
NEWS NOW CORRESPONDENT MAURA
BARRETT JOINS US THIS MORNING.
MORE. GOOD MORNING. TELL US
MORE ABOUT THE DECISION TO
KEEP THESE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
IN PLACE. ONE OF THE SOME OF
THE COUNTRYS IMPACTED BY
THIS. AND DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING FOR AMERICANS WITH
ANYTHING FOR AMERICANS WITH
TRAVEL HOPES ABROAD THIS YEAR.
GOOD MORNING, SAVANNAH. SO
THIS DECISION STEMS FROM THE
PREVALENCE OF THE DELTA
VARIANT IN THE U.S. THIS
MONTH. MORE THAN 80% OF THE
CASES THAT WERE SEEING ARE
LINKED TO DELTA INFECTIONS.
AND SO THIS TRACK, THESE
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS ARE
ACTUALLY MORE SO IMPACTING
PEOPLE LOOKING TO COME INTO
THE U.S. BASICALLY RIGHT NOW
THE U.S..
>> RESTRICTS ANY TRAVEL FROM
ANY NON RESIDENTS THAT HAVE
BEEN IN PLACES LIKE THE U K
SOUTH AFRICA, IRAN, BRAZIL,
OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE THAT IN
THE LAST 14 DAYS. BUT THIS
DOES ALSO THAT THE CDC IS
RECOMMENDING THAT THE U.S.
CITIZENS AMERICANS LOOKING TO
TRAVEL THIS SUMMER, AVOID
GOING TO THE U K GIVEN THE
SURGE IN CASES. THERE ARENT
ANY OTHER BANDS IN TERMS OF
WHICH COUNTRIES YOU CAN GO TO.
BUT THE CDC RECOMMENDS IF
YOURE LOOKING TO TRAVEL TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR WEBSITE
AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE RISK
LEVEL OF EACH COVID RISK IN
OTHER COUNTRIES THAT YOURE
LOOKING TO GO TO. OKAY. LETS
NOW TALK VACCINATIONS, A
COALITION OF LEADING MEDICAL
GROUPS IS CALLING FOR
MANDATORY VACCINATIONS FOR ALL
HEALTHCARE WORKERS. WE HAVE
SEEN THIS PLAY OUT AT SOME
HOSPITALS AND BE MET WITH SOME
CRITICISM, BUT WHICH GROUPS
ARE BEHIND THIS PUSH AND WHAT
ARE THEY SAYING NOW. WHATS
THE REACTION.
>> THIS IS A GROUP MADE UP OF
ABOUT 50 ORGANIZATIONS, ONE OF
THEM, THE AMERICAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION AND THEYRE
RECOMMENDING THAT ALL
EMPLOYERS ARE VACCINATED IN
THESE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS.
THEY SAY THAT REQUIRING
VACCINATIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT
IS, QUOTE, THE LOGICAL
FULFILLMENT OF THE ETHICAL
COMMITMENT TO ALL PATIENTS IN
THEIR CARE. AND NOW THIS ALSO
COMES SEPARATELY FROM THE
HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY WE SAW
YESTERDAY IN NEW YORK CITY AND
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
REQUIRING THEIR EMPLOYER
EMPLOYEES TO BE VACCINATED OR
SUBMIT TO WEEKLY TESTING.
SAVANNAH.
>> AND MORE QUICKLY. WEVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT CITIES
REINSTATING MASK MANDATE
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA HAS
ANNOUNCED THEY WILL NOT
REQUIRE MASKS INDOORS. AND ON
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION WHEN THE
LOS ANGELES HAS BEEN DOING
SOMETHING SIMILAR. WHAT
OFFICIALS SAY ABOUT THIS
DECISION. THE MAYOR OF CITY OF
SAVANNAH SAID THAT THIS IS DUE
TO 4 FACTORS AGAIN, THE
PREVALENCE OF THE DELTA
VARIANT, A LOW VACCINATION
RATE LOCALLY LARGE GATHERINGS
AND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE
LETTING THEIR GUARD DOWN USING
UNTIL THOSE CASE NUMBERS GO
BACK DOWN. THEY WONT BE
LISTING THAT MANDATE. HES
ASKING PEOPLE NOT TO COMPLAIN
BUT INSTEAD TO GET VACCINATED
AND MASK UP. AND OBVIOUSLY
THOSE FACTORS ARE THE SAME
THINGS WERE SEEING SPIKING A
LOT OF COMMUNITIES AROUND THE
COUNTRY HERE IN CHICAGO. EVEN
THE MAYOR SAYING THAT AS CASES
RISE, SHES THINKING ABOUT
REINSTATING THAT MASK MANDATE
AS WELL AS ALSO LOOKING
REINSTATING CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS LOTS TO WATCH FOR
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> NEW YORK CITY MAYOR BILL DE
BLASIO IS NOW REQUIRING ALL
MUNICIPAL WORKERS GET
VACCINATED BY SEPTEMBER 13. IF
WORKERS REFUSE, THEYLL FACE
WEEKLY COVID TESTING POLICE
OFFICERS AND PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS ARE AMONG THOSE
IMPACTED BY THE NEW POLICY.
THE MOVE WILL MAKE NEW YORK
CITY. ONE OF THE LARGEST U.S.
EMPLOYERS REQUIRE THAT
EMPLOYEES GET VACCINATED
AFFECTING ABOUT 340,000 PEOPLE
MAY SEE NEWS CORRESPONDENT RAY
HIM. ALICE HAS MORE.
>> GOOD MORNING, SAVANNAH AND
JOE AS NEW YORK CITYS COVID
POSITIVITY RATE HAS GONE UP
BECAUSE OF THE DELTA VARIANT
SPREADING IN THE CITY. THE
MAYOR ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY THAT
ALL NEW YORK CITY WORKERS HAVE
TO BE VACCINATED FOR SUBJECT
TO WEEKLY TESTING BECAUSE HE
WANTS TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT
EVERYONE IN THE CITY IS SAFE.
TAKE A LISTEN.
>> THIS IS ABOUT OUR RECOVERY.
THIS IS ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO
DO TO BRING BACK NEW YORK
CITY. THIS IS ABOUT KEEPING
PEOPLE SAFE. THIS IS ABOUT
MAKING SURE OUR FAMILIES.
WELL GET THROUGH COVID, OK.
THIS IS ABOUT BRINGING BACK
JOBS. YOU NAME THIS MANDATE
TAKES EFFECT SEPTEMBER 13TH.
>> AND THATS ALSO THE FIRST
FULL DAY OF THE START OF THE
NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND AS WE SAY,
IT IS FOR ALL NEW YORK CITY
WORKERS. THATS MORE THAN
330,000 OF THEM, INCLUDING
TEACHERS, POLICE OFFICERS,
FIREFIGHTERS, SANITATION
WORKERS AND EVERYONE WORKING
IN A SCHOOL FROM THE STAFF TO
THE CAFETERIA WORKERS. IT
SHOULD ALSO BE MENTIONED THAT
THIS COMES ON TOP OF ANOTHER
MANDATE THAT THE MAYOR ISSUED
LAST WEEK AND THIS WAS FOR ALL
WORKERS INSIDE OF NEW YORK
CITY PUBLIC HOSPITALS. HE SAID
THAT THEY MUST ALSO ARE
MANDATED TO GET VACCINE OR
THEY WILL BE SUBJECT TO WEEKLY
COVID TESTING AND THEYRE ALSO
NOW IS URGING THAT PRIVATE
COMPANIES BETTER STATIONS HERE
IN NEW YORK. BUT THEY SHOULD
MANDATE THEIR WORKERS TO DO
THE SAME THING.
>> SAVANNAH AND JOE. ALL
RIGHT. ALICE RAMAN, THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
>> LETS NOW BRING IN DOCTOR
AMISH, A DODGER. HES THE
SENIOR SCHOLAR AT THE JOHNS
HOPKINS CENTER FOR HEALTH
SECURITY DOCTOR ADALJA. GOOD
MORNING. SO WE JUST HEARD
THERE ARE HUMANS ARE PART
ABOUT NEW YORK CITY REQUIRING
THESE VACCINATIONS OR TESTING
FOR CITY WORKERS. MANY OTHER
CITIES ARE FOLLOWING SUIT. AND
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
PLAN. IS THIS ACTUALLY GOING
TO HELP PREVENT OUTBREAKS.
>> IT DEFINITELY WILL PREVENT
OUTBREAKS. WE KNOW THE BIGGEST
FACTOR NOW AND WHETHER A STATE
HAS CASES THAT ARE SPIRALING
OUT OF CONTROL IS HOW
VACCINATED THEIR POPULATIONS.
BUT WEVE SEEN WITH MANDATES
FOR INFLUENZA THAT MAY REALLY
INCREASE VACCINE UPTAKE. AND I
THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT
ORGANIZATIONS EMPLOYERS
INCLUDING MY OWN AND HEALTH
CARE SHE SHOULD BE MANDATING
PEOPLE THAT BE VACCINATED AS A
CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT. THESE
VACCINES ARE SAFE. AND
BUSINESSES NEED THEM FOR
WORKFORCE RESILIENCE. AND I
THINK ITS ONE WAY TO MOVE
FORWARD IN THIS PANDEMIC.
>> ALSO, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT TRAVEL. WE HEARD JUST
FROM OUR THAT THE U.S. IS
KEEPING HIS FOREIGN TRAVEL
RESTRICTIONS IN MANY CITIES
ARE BRINGING BACK ITS MASK
MANDATES. WHAT WOULD YOU TELL
PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUMMER TRIPS
PLANNED TO THOUGHT, YOU KNOW,
THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. IM
GOING TO TAKE A VACATION THIS
YEAR. I DIDNT LAST YEAR. WHAT
DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. IS IT
SAFE TO DO SO.
>> IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE FIRST
OF ALL, MAKE SURE THAT YOURE
FULLY VACCINATED. EVERYONE
YOURE TRAVELING BELIEVE
VACCINATED. IF THEY CAN BE,
THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE A LOOK
AND SEE WHAT GOES ON IN THOSE
COUNTRIES. WHAT TYPES OF
TESTING AND QUARANTINE
REQUIREMENTS ARE THERE AND SEE
THAT YOU CAN BE ABLE TO MEET
THEM. AND REMEMBER THAT YOU
HAVE TO GET A TEST COMING BACK
IN INTO THE UNITED STATES,
THEN I THINK YOU CAN. YOU CAN
SORT OF DO IT IN A SAFE
MANNER. BUT YOU GOT TO BE
SMART ABOUT IT. YOUVE GOT TO
BE PROACTIVE AND YOU WANT TO
HAVE ALL THIS PLANNED OUT FOR
YOU. THE.
>> NOW DOCTOR ALSO YESTERDAY
WE GOT SOME NEW GUIDANCE
RELEASED BY HS AS THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
ANNOUNCING THAT LONG COVID CAN
BE A DISABILITY UNDER THE
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES
ACT LONG COVID, SOMETHING WE,
OF COURSE, WILL HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS ON. BUT WHAT WERE
SOME OF THE EFFECTS THEY
POINTED TO. AND IF SOMEONE IS
DEALING WITH THIS, MAYBE THINK
THAT THEYRE DEALING WITH US
AFTER HAVING CONTRACTED COVID.
WHAT SHOULD THEY KNOW. WHAT
SHOULD THEY DO IF THEY ARE TO
HAVING TO TRY TO DEAL WITH
LONG COVID.
>> LONG COVID IS STILL A BIT
OF A MYSTERY. WE DONT HAVE A
REALLY GREAT DIAGNOSTIC
CRITERIA. WE DONT REALLY KNOW
WHOS AT RISK FOR OTHER, THEN
IT HAPPENS MORE COMMONLY IN
FEMALES AND OLDER PEOPLE,
PEOPLE THAT HAVE OTHER MEDICAL
CONDITIONS THATS MORE LIKELY
TO BE SOMETHING THAT GETS LONG
COVID. BUT WE STILL CANT
PREDICT IT WHEN WE DONT HAVE
A BLOOD TEST THAT YOU CAN DO,
WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD. BUT
ITS CLEAR THAT SOME
PROPORTION OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COVID CANT GET BACK TO THEIR
BASIC. BASIC LEVEL OF LIVING.
THEY HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH
THEIR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY
LIFE. THEY HAVE BRAIN FOG MAY
HAVE INABILITY TO EXERCISE AT
THAT LEVEL THAT THEY DID
BEFORE. AND I THINK THATS
WHATS BEING RECOGNIZE AS
BEING LIMITING AND SOMETHING
THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO
BE PART OF THE DISABILITY
PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE. BUT BIBI
A MOTHER AND A LOT OF THINGS
THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE
SOMETHING THATS A LONG TAIL
OF THIS PANDEMIC. AND IF YOU
THINK YOU MAY HAVE THE
SYMPTOMS. THERE ARE LONG HAUL
COVID CLINICS OPENING UP AND
MANY MEDICAL CENTERS WHERE
THEYRE TRYING TO STUDY THESE
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THESE PEOPLE
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHATS
COMMON AMONG THEM, WHATS
DIFFERENT AMONG AND WHAT
TREATMENTS MIGHT WORK.
>> AND I IMAGINE THAT THIS
GIVES YOU SOME PEACE OF MIND
TO HAVE THIS GUIDANCE FROM
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. IF
ITS SOMETHING THAT YOURE
DEALING WITH. AT LEAST ITS
BEING RECOGNIZED. DOCTOR
ADALJA, ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE
YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
