>> TIME NOW FOR OUR CORONAVIRUS QNA IT’S A PART OF OUR SHOW RETURNED TO THE EXPERTS TO GET
SOME OF YOUR
QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT THE
CORONAVIRUS AND TODAY WE ARE
JOINED AS WE ARE EVERY TUESDAY
WITH A DOCTOR RUTH BERGGREN
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US. DOCTOR BERGGREN I
WANT TO JUST START BY ASKING
YOU YOUR REACTION TO THE
GOVERNOR’S ANNOUNCEMENT
YESTERDAY.
>> SO I THINK IT’S PREMATURE
FOR
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS IS A BIG
PLACE. WE HAVE LOTS OF
DIFFERENT KINDS OF COMMUNITIES
IN TEXAS THEIR PLACES IN TEXAS
THAT HARDLY SEEN ANY CASES
WHERE THE POPULATION DENSITY IS
VERY LOW AND I THINK RESUMING BUSINESS IS PROBABLY A VERY GOOD IDEA AND IMPORTANT FOR
THOSE PLACES. SAN ANTONIO IS
DIFFERENT. WE HAVE A HIGHER
POPULATION DENSITY AND WE’RE
WORRIED THAT THIS MAY BE EARLY.
>> STEVE SPRIESTER: TALK ABOUT
WHAT THE HEALTH
TRANSITION TEAM PUT TOGETHER
AND KIND OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT YOU TALKED
ABOUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S A VERY
LONG PLAN WE HAVE TIME TO GO
INTO ALL OF IT, BUT
IT KIND OF WHAT THE HIGHLIGHTS
ARE AND I’M. STRUCK BY THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE.
MARKERS IN PLACE
FOR PROGRESS AND IN FOR
RESTRICTIONS TO BE PUT BACK
IN PLACE.
>> THAT’S RIGHT SO THIS TEAM IS
LARGELY COMPOSED OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE DOCTORS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
EXPERTS THAT OFFER ALSO PEOPLE
WITH ETHICS. AN
ETHICS BACKGROUND. AND WHAT WE
DID WAS STRICTLY LOOK AT THE
EXISTING PUBLIC HEALTH
LITERATURE AND GUIDANCE FROM
PLACES LIKE THE CC JOHNS
HOPKINS TO DETERMINE WHAT
ACTIVITIES PRESENT WHAT KIND OF
INFECTIOUS DISEASE RISK AND HOW
DO WE FACTOR
THAT IN WE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT
WHAT SORT OF INDICATORS WOULD
GUIDE US TO WIN IT SAFE TO COME
BACK OUT INTO SOCIETY AND START RUNNING BUSINESS AGAIN. AND YOU KNOW
REALLY THIS IS PURELY
BASED ON SCIENCE DATA AND
EVIDENCE AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE
RISK THIS IS NOT
ABOUT POLITICS. AND WE CAME UP
WITH WHAT I THINK A VERY GOOD
PROGRESS INDICATORS TENDERS FOR
OF THOSE AND THOSE INDICATORS
TELL US WHEN IT’S SAFE TO MOVE
FORWARD AND TO RE GET RID OF
SOME OF OUR RESTRICTIONS
AND WE CAME UP WITH
3 INDICATORS THAT ARE WARNING
INDICATORS THAT IF WE SEE THOSE
CHANGING IN A
SIGNIFICANT WAY THAT’S A SIGN
THAT WE NEED TO RETREAT.
GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF ONE
OF THOSE.
>> STEVE SPRIESTER: THE EXAMPLE
OF OF WHAT ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT.
>> SO THE THE PROGRESS
INDICATORS KNOW THAT THE FIRST
ONE IS HAVE
WE HAD A SUSTAINED DECLINE IN
NEW CASES OF COVID FOR
14 STRAIGHT DAYS. AND GOOD NEWS
WE ARE SEEING A DECLINE IN KOBE
CASES BUT
TECHNICALLY, IT’S REALLY ONLY
BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE WE SEEN THAT
DECLINE WITHOUT A BOAT UP
AGAIN. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THAT THE
MORE SUSTAINED. OUR OUR
COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THAT THE MORE SUSTAINED BEFORE
RELAXING RESTRICTIONS.
OTHER INDICATORS INCLUDE
MAKING SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH
TESTS AVAILABLE FOR THE
COMMUNITY AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
LESS THAN HALF. MAYBE HALF.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY NEED. WE
ESTIMATE THAT WE NEED TO BE
ABLE TO TEST 3,000 PEOPLE
A DAY THAT DOESN’T COME FROM
THIN AIR THAT ACTUALLY
COMES FROM. GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S
RECOMMENDATIONS AND ITS
ADJUSTED FOR THE POPULATION
SIZE OF BEXAR COUNTY AND ALIGNS
WITH OTHER SCHOLARLY INDICATORS
OF WHAT
SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN A
POPULATION, THE SIZE OF
SAN ANTONIO. WE HAVE 1600 TESTS
THAT WE CAN DO A DAY WE NEED
3,000. THE NEXT INDICATOR WOULD
BE DO WE HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO TRACE THE CONTACTS
IDENTIFY WHO SICK AND THEN FIND
OUT WHO THEY WERE IN CONTACT
WITH THAT REQUIRES A SPECIAL
KIND
OF WORKER THAT KIND OF WORKER
DOESN’T REQUIRE A FANCY DEGREE
YOU’RE LOTS AND LOTS OF
EDUCATION BUT DOES
REQUIRE THAT THOSE PEOPLE BE
TRAINED AND THAT THEY BE LED
AND ORGANIZED AND WE NEED A 175
OF THOSE THEY’RE NOT READY TO
GO YET. THE 4TH PROGRESS
INDICATOR. WE DO HAVE
AND THAT IS A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
THAT’S PREPARED. WE HAVE TO PP
E YOU KNOW
THE PROTECTIVE MASKS AND SO
FORTH THAT ARE NECESSARY TO
TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS WE HAVE
HOSPITAL PARENTS WE HAVE
VENTILATORS AND WE HAVE ICY USE
THANKFULLY OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM IS NOT OVERLY STRESSED
AT THIS TIME AND WE’VE HAD TIME
TO PREPARE. SO BEFORE PROGRESS INDICATORS IS REALLY ONLY ONE WHERE WE’RE ON VERY
SOLID GROUND.
>> NOW THE TRANSITION TEAM IS
RECOMMENDING REOPENING IN
PHASES AT LEAST THAT’S HOW I
INTERPRETED IT WHEN I READ
REVIEW THAT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT
THOSE FACES AND WHAT EACH OF
THEM MEANS.
>> RIGHT SO WE’RE IN PHASE, ONE
RIGHT NOW WHICH IS STAY HOME
WORK SAFE.
AND IT’S NOT EXACTLY A FULL
LOCKDOWN BUT YOU ALL KNOW WHAT
IT IS BECAUSE YOU’RE LIVING IT
EVERY DAY. A PHASE 2 WOULD BE WHEN WE HAVE THOSE FOR PROGRESS INDICATORS READY TO GO AS I
JUST MENTIONED AND NOW WE WOULD
RECOMMEND THAT BUSINESSES
START REOPENING IN A PHASED
MANNER THIS STAGE MANNER WITH
SAFER FOR PHASE 2. AND THOSE
PLACES THAT HAVE.
INTERMEDIATE
WE’RE HIGH INFECTIOUS DISEASE
TRANSMISSION RISK THEY SHOULD
OPEN AT A
REDUCED CAPACITY. THERE’S SOME
ACTIVITIES THAT WE ENGAGE IN
THAT ARE PRETTY LOW RISK SUCH
AS GOING TO LIBRARIES AS
LONG AS SOCIAL DISTANCING
GUIDELINES CONTINUE TO BE
MAINTAINED LIBRARIES
CAN REOPEN. RESTAURANTS AND
PLACES LIKE THAT COULD REOPEN
AT. YOU KNOW GOVERNOR ABBOTT
SAYS 25% CAPACITY I THINK OUR
REPORT SUGGESTED WE OPEN AT 30%
CAPACITY. BUT THAT STILL
INCLUDES CHECKING THE
TEMPERATURE OF PEOPLE COMING TO
WORK IT ASKS PEOPLE TO WEAR
MASKS WHEN THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY
EATING IT REQUIRES ALL OF THE
HAND HYGIENE SOCIAL DISTANCE
SAYINGS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TOO
MANY PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE AND
PEOPLE TO THE BEST EXTENT
POSSIBLE NEED TO BE REMAINING 6
FEET APART FROM EACH OTHER.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
WE NEED TO BE MONITORING WHAT’S
GOING ON IN THE CITY WE NEED TO
SEE ARE THE NUMBER OF CASES
GOING UP WE CERTAINLY SEEING AN
INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING TESTED
BEING ACTUALLY
KOPAN POSITIVE. IF THOSE SORTS
OF THINGS START TO HAPPEN.
IF WE START SEEING A
DECREASE IN THE TIME IT TAKES
TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF CASES
OR IF WE START TO SEE OUR
HOSPITAL SYSTEM
BEING STRESSED THOSE 3 WARNING
INDICATORS NEED TO BE REVIEWED
BY OUR TEEN
AND WE NEED TO COME UP WITH
GUIDANCE ABOUT EITHER
RETREATING TO THE PRIOR PHASE
OR AT THE VERY LEAST
RECOMMENDING HOLDING OFF BEFORE
WE EXPAND FURTHER.
>> STEVE SPRIESTER: YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY ALL RIGHT DOCTOR
RUTH BERGGREN FROM
THE U YOU T HEALTH SAN ANTONIO,
THE LONG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE WE
WILL SEE TONIGHT AT 9 O’CLOCK
DURING THE NEWS AT 9. OF COURSE
THAT WILL TAKE SEGMENT TO THAT
>> SEPARATING FACT FROM FEAR AND SOME OF THE
FICTION THAT IS OUT THERE TO
WHAT WE TRY TO DO
EVERY NIGHT WITH THIS
CORONAVIRUS Q A WHERE WE TAKE
YOUR QUESTIONS TO SOME OF THE
EXPERTS AND WE’RE PLEASED THAT
MOST
MOST TUESDAY NIGHTS. I THINK WHAT 4,
5 TUESDAY NIGHTS IN A ROW WE
HAVE HAD DOCTOR RUTH BERGGREN
THE LONG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT
U T HEALTH SAN ANTONIO, WE’RE
THRILLED THAT SHE IS BACK WITH
US. DOCTOR BERGER, YOU’RE ALSO
A MEMBER OF THE HEALTH
TRANSITION TEAM. SO YEAH I KNOW
THAT YOU YOU KNOW THE COUNTY AND THE CITY WAS HOPING MAYBE
SOME LEEWAY WOULD BE COMING
FROM THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE WHEN
HE PUT DOWN HIS RESTRICTIONS.
YOUR REACTION TO WHAT THE
GOVERNOR HAD TO SAY ON MONDAY.
>> YES SO I AM HAPPY THAT THERE’S A PLAN FOR A
PHASED RETURN TO BUSINESS BUT I
THINK THAT IMPLEMENTING IT
RIGHT NOW IS TOO SOON FOR SAN
ANTONIO AND I SAY THAT
BASED NOT JUST ON THE OPINION
OF OUR HELP TRANSITION TEAM,
YOU KNOW ONE OF THE METRICS
COMES RIGHT
COMES RIGHT OUT OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT’S
RECOMMENDATIONS AND HE
RECOMMENDED THAT TEXAS SHOULD
HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TEST
30,000 PEOPLE A DAY IF YOU JUST
FOR THE POPULATION, A
BEXAR COUNTY. NO WE SHOULD BE
TESTING 3,000 PEOPLE A DAY HERE
TO BE SAFE TO OPEN ACCORDING TO
GOVERNOR ABBOTT
GOVERNOR ABBOTT WELL IN ACTUALITY STEVE WERE
ONLY TESTING 1600 PEOPLE A DAY
SO WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO
GET TO THE METRIC THAT GOVERNOR
ABBOTT HIMSELF SAID WE OUGHT
TO REACH AND THERE ARE OTHER
ISSUES AS WELL. WE NEED TO BE
ABLE TO CONTACT TRACE. AND
UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE THE
CAPACITY WITHIN OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM TO TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS
WE HAVE THE VENTILATORS IN THE
BEDS AND SO FORTH BUT GOSH WE
DON’T REALLY WANT TO GO THERE
AND THIS IS TOO EARLY FOR US.
TALK ABOUT 80 THE BIG
DIFFERENCE THAT I NOTICED
BETWEEN.
BETWEEN. >> WHAT THE GOVERNOR LAID OUT
ON MONDAY AND WHAT I SAW IN THE
BIG CITY IN THE COUNTY’S PLAN
WHERE THAT THERE ARE DEFINITE
IN THAT HEALTH TRANSITION PLAN
FOR WHEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD
AND WHEN WE NEED TO PULL BACK
IS THAT THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
THAT YOU SEE AS WELL.
>> YES, BUT ALSO THE ISSUE
OF MASKING WE HAVE VERY STRONG
RECOMMENDATION THAT’S ALIGNED
WITH THE CDC’S RECOMMENDATION
THAT EVERYBODY ACTUALLY OVER
THE AGE OF 2 SHOULD HAVE A MASK
ON WHEN THEY GO OUT IN PUBLIC
AND THE GOVERNOR’S PLAN
AND DOES NOT MANDATE THIS
THERE’S A LOT OF DISCUSSION
RECOMMENDING MASKING BUT
THERE’S NO PLAN TO ENFORCE IT
AND IT REALLY OPENS THE DOOR
FOR PEOPLE TO DISREGARD THAT
RECOMMENDATION ALTOGETHER AND
THAT’S
THAT’S A CONCERN.
A CONCERN. >> YEAH, BUT THE THERE ARE
THRESHOLD IN THE CITY AND
COUNTY PLAN THAT THAT WE CAN
CROSS MOVING FORWARD OR THAT WE
NEED TO PULL BACK TO EARTH.
>> RIGHT RIGHT AND YOU KNOW ONE
OF THE FIRST ONES I DIDN’T
MENTION YET OF THE 4 THAT
RELATE TO MOVING FORWARD.
I THINK PERHAPS SOME OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS WE’RE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAD A
14 DAY SUSTAINED PERIOD OF
DECLINING CASES THAT MEANS FOR
14 DAY PERIOD EVERY DAY.
THERE’S A FEWER CASES THAN THE
DAY BEFORE. AND
TECHNICALLY WE’RE AT DAY 3 FOR
THAT RIGHT NOW THERE’S A MORE
LIBERAL INTERPRETATION IF YOU
JUST DISREGARD OF THE BUMPS LEE
HAD RECENTLY CAN GO BACK MAYBE
A FEW MORE DAYS THAN THAT BUT
WE’RE CERTAINLY NOT A 14 DAYS.
AND WE’D LIKE TO BE THERE
AND THEN WHAT WE DO GET STARTED
STEVE, THERE ARE THRESHOLDS FOR
RETREATING AND THOSE WOULD
INCLUDE THINGS LIKE IF WE START
TO SEE THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF
POSITIVE CASES OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE GETTING TESTED THE
PERCENT THAT ARE COPING
POSITIVE. IT THAT STARTS
RISING. THAT’S OF GREAT CONCERN
AND THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE
INDICATORS THAT WOULD CAUSE US
TO MOVE BACK
OF COURSE OVERWHELMING HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM RUNNING OUT OF PPE
THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER REASON TO
MOVE BACKWARDS. GREAT LET’S GET
SOME OF THE VIEWER QUESTIONS
THAT WE HAVE TONIGHT
THE FIRST ONE HOW WE TRULY KNOW
WHEN IT’S SAFE TO GO OUT
WITHOUT OUR MASS.
>> AND TRY SLOWLY TO GET BACK
TO OUR LIVES AGAIN.
>> TOUGH QUESTION AND THAT’S
WHY WE HAVE ALL THESE.
METRICS PROGRESS INDICATORS AND
WARNING INDICATORS
WARNING INDICATORS RIGHT IT’S NOT SAFE TO
GO OUT THAT YOUR MASK ON WE
STILL HAVE
STILL HAVE COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION. AND IF
WE SUDDENLY TAKE OFF OUR MASS
AND GO OUTSIDE AND INTERACT
WITH EACH OTHER. WE’RE JUST
GOING TO BE BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
SO IF WE CAN MEET THESE
THESE THRESHOLDS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT OF THE SUSTAINED DECLINE
IN CASES THE CAPACITY FOR
TESTING THE CAPACITY FOR
CONTACT TRACING. IT’S ALL OF
THOSE THINGS ARE MET THEN IT’S
GOING TO
GOING TO BE SAFER. AND WE CAN MOVE INTO
WHAT WE WOULD CALL IN OUR
TRANSITION TEAM, A PHASE 2
WHERE BUSINESSES ARE OPENING AT
REDUCED CAPACITY INITIALLY 25
TO 30%. AND THEN AFTER 2 TO
4 WEEK PERIOD. IF EVERYBODY IS
DOING WELL IF WE AREN’T SEEING
WARNING INDICATORS AND PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DOING WHAT THEY’RE
SUPPOSED TO BE DOING IN THEIR
BUSINESS PLACES THAT
SOCIAL-DISTANCING INCLUDING IN
VIRAL SURFACING
VIRAL SURFACING IS THAT IF THAT’S HAPPENING
AFTER 2 TO 4 WEEKS. THEN WE
EXPAND AGAIN TO AN INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL AND THEN 2 TO 4 WEEKS
LATER AGAIN, THE BALL AS WELL.
NO WE EXPEND TOO CLOSE TO FULL
CAPACITY, GREAT
CAPACITY, GREAT NEXT QUESTION I TESTED POSITIVE
FOR THE CORONAVIRUS AND HIMSELF
ISOLATED.
ISOLATED. >> HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT’S SAFE
TO COME OUT OF ISOLATION SHOULD
I
I BE RETESTED.
BE RETESTED. >> OKAY, SO THEY’RE REALLY GOOD
GUIDELINES FOR THAT AND YOU CAN
FIND THEM AT CDC DOT GOV.
AND THE GUIDANCE WE DEPEND ON
WHAT HE WAS SYMPTOMATIC
OR ASYMPTOMATIC SO LET’S
IMAGINE THAT YOU GOT TESTED FOR
WHATEVER REASON MAYBE BECAUSE
YOUR CLOSE CONTACT SOMEBODY AT
WORK AND YOU’RE A FAN OF THE
COVID POSITIVE, BUT YOU NEVER
HAD ANY SYMPTOMS.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO STAY
ISOLATED. THE ANSWER IS 10
DAYS. HOWEVER, IF YOU’VE
GOT YOUR COULD THE TEST BECAUSE
YOU HAD SYMPTOMS OF COVID
THEN YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND
ISOLATE YOU’VE GOT TO BE HOME
FOR A MINIMUM OF 7 DAYS FROM
THE TIME HE TESTED POSITIVE
PLUS YOU HAVE TO HAVE HAD NO
FEVER FOR 72 HOURS AND
YOUR YOUR SYMPTOMS HAVE TO BE
GETTING BETTER YOU DON’T HAVE
TO BE ALL GONE, BUT YOUR
SYMPTOMS HAVE TO BE
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED SO
DIFFERENT STANDARDS FOR COMING
BACK TO WORK
DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY ARE
SYMPTOMATIC OR ASYMPTOMATIC
WITH YOUR COVID-19 GREAT
NEXT QUESTION.
NEXT QUESTION. >> ANOTHER PERSON I TESTED
POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS
SO FAR MY HUSBAND REMAINS
ASYMPTOMATIC SHOULD HE BE
TESTED BEFORE RETURNING TO
WORK.
WORK. >> HE SHOULD CERTAINLY BE
QUARANTINED FOR 14 DAYS.
IF HE WANTS TO GET TO WORK BACK
TO WORK SOONER THAN THAT THEN
HE SHOULD BE
TESTED. BUT REMEMBER IF YOU’RE
STILL SHEDDING THE VIRUS.
YOUR HUSBAND IS EXPOSED TO
EVERY DAY AND SO HE COULD STILL
BECOME SYMPTOMATIC SO THE TEST
FOR HIM WHAT REALLY ONLY HELP
IF THEN YOU ARE SEPARATED AND
HE’S NO LONGER EXPOSED
TO YOU. BUT THAT THE BOTTOM
LINE IS SOMEONE WHO IS
ASYMPTOMATIC BUT HIS IS A CLOSE
CONTACT OF SOMEONE WITH
KNOWN COVID THAT PERSON SHOULD
QUARANTINE FOR 14 DAYS AND THAT
MEANS QUARANTINING AWAY FROM
THE SICK PERSON BEFORE THEY GO
BACK TO WORK ALL RIGHT
NEXT QUESTION.
NEXT QUESTION. >> WITH SOME RESTAURANTS SET TO
REOPEN IS IT ACTUALLY SAFE TO
TAKE MY FAMILY OUT FOR DINNER
THIS WEEKEND. I KIND OF THINK
THIS IS A JUDGMENT CALL BECAUSE
ALL RESTAURANTS ARE NOT CREATED
EQUAL. SO I’M GONNA CHANGE THIS
ONE TOO. WHAT SHOULD I
LOOK FOR IN A RESTAURANT THAT
I’M GOING OUT TO WHAT SORT OF
RUN A SAFETY
MEASURES DO YOU THINK PEOPLE
SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR WHEN THEY
WALK IN THE DOOR OF
A RESTAURANT.
A RESTAURANT. >> WELL WE’VE ALREADY SAID THAT
YOU KNOW OUR OUR TRANSITION HAS
LOOKED AT THESE CRITERIA AND
SANTA NEW HASN’T MET THOSE
CRITERIA YET SO WE WOULDN’T SAY
THAT IT’S A BUT WHAT YOU SHOULD
LOOK FOR IS
HOW WELL IS THE RESTAURANT
HEARING TO THE GUIDELINES EXIST
THE SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND ONE THING IS IS THEIR
HAND SANITIZER AROUND WHEN YOU
WALK IN THE DOOR THAT
RESTAURANT FIRST OF ALL WAS
THERE A CROWD
OF PEOPLE WAS THERE AN EFFORT
BEING MADE TO KEEP PEOPLE 6
FEET APART FROM ONE ANOTHER AS
THEY’RE ENTERING THE RESTAURANT
WAS THERE A PLACE TO WASH YOUR
HANDS OR SANITIZE YOUR HANDS
WHEN YOU SAT.
HOW FAR AWAY WERE YOU FROM THE
OTHER PEOPLE
OTHER PEOPLE WAS YOUR WEIGHT OR WITH YOUR
HOST OR HOSTESS WEARING A MASK.
AND WERE THE MEN USE DISPOSABLE THAT’S ONE OF
THE GUIDELINES FOR RESTAURANTS,
STEVE IS THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE
PASSING MENUS FROM PERSON
TO PERSON AND IDEALLY THE
GUESTS SHOULD BE REMAINING
MASKED UNTIL IT’S TIME
TO EAT. SO WHILE UNTIL THEY’RE
SEATED CERTAINLY THEY THEY
SHOULD ALL THE GUESTS SHOULD BE
MASKED. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
BASIC THINGS YOU WANT TO BE
LOOKING FOR THE WHOLE NEW WORLD
WE’RE MOVING INTO
HERE, OKAY.
HERE, OKAY. >> I WANTED TO A QUESTION THAT
I IS ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS
ARE SEEING IN GERMANY RIGHT NOW
THEY ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
HIS SECOND WIFE ABOUT A RETURN
OF SOME OF THE CASES
OF COVID THERE ARE YOU
FOLLOWING THAT IS THAT ALSO
YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WE
MAY SEE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. >> ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW GERMANY
HAS BEEN VERY PROACTIVE ABOUT
BEING EVIDENCE-BASED THERE BE
THEY’RE LISTENING TO THEIR
SCIENTISTS AND WHEN THEY RELAX
RESTRICTIONS, THEY STARTED TO
SEE NEW CASES SEARCH OF COURSE
THAT CAN HAPPEN HERE
AND YOU KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT
HOW IT FLATTENED THE CURVE AND
WE’VE HAD JUST A FEW MEANDERING
PEAKS OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
MAYBE WE PEAKS LAST WEEK.
IF WE RELAX ALL
RESTRICTIONS AND WE GO BACK TO
THE WAY WE WERE BEFORE WE WILL
HAVE A BIG SURGE AND ALL OF
THESE
THESE SO-CALLED PEAKS THAT WE SEEM
LIKE LITTLE FOOT HILLS SO WE
NEED TO BE
REALLY CAREFUL AND WE NEED TO
KNOW THAT WE’RE MOVING INTO
PHASE 2. FOR GOOD REASONS AND
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE GUIDELINES
ARE FOR STAYING SAFE IN PHASE
2.
2. >> ABSOLUTELY I WANT TO GIVE
YOU THE LAST WORD LIKE I ALWAYS
DO DOCTOR BERGGREN WHAT DO YOU
KNOW LEAVE OUR VIEWERS WITH
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. >> AND WE CAN DO THIS SAN
ANTONIO WE CAN AND DO IT, BUT
IT REQUIRES WORKING TOGETHER
REQUIRES TEAMWORK AND REQUIRES
HEARING ABOUT EACH OTHER
AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT
BUSINESSES BY SECTOR FORM
GROUPS AFFILIATION GROUPS
AND THAT THE COACH EACH OTHER
IF ONE PARTICULAR.
ENTERPRISE WITHIN A SECTOR IS
STRUGGLING THAN THE OTHER
BUSINESSES SHOULD COME TO THAT
COME TO THE AID HELP SHARE THE
HAND SANITIZER SHARE THE
BEST PRACTICES WORK TOGETHER AS
A GROUP BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT
INDIVIDUALS COMPETING FOR
BUSINESS. THIS IS ABOUT HELPING
OUR WHOLE ECONOMY GET BACK ON
ITS FEET SO THAT WE CAN BE
HEALTHY IN ALWAYS ECONOMICALLY
PROSPEROUS AND PHYSICALLY
HEALTHY AS WELL HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER YOU’VE GOT TO BE
A TEEN.
A TEEN. >> DOCTOR RICHARD BERGER, NEW T
