HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO GET.
TO GET. PLEASE.
PLEASE. REPORTER: SAY WHICH STATES
SPECIFICALLY YOU THINK HAVE HIT
GATING REQUIREMENTS?
GATING REQUIREMENTS? >> I WOULD ANOTHER NOT SAY THAT
BUT YOU WILL BE SEEING IT VERY
SOON.
SOON. I WOULD AREN’T HAVE THE
GOVERNORS BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE.
THEY’RE VERY PROUD OF IT.
THEY WORKED HARD.
SOME ARE IN AN AREA LESS
SUSCEPTIBLE.
SUSCEPTIBLE. SOME REALLY WAS DONE I THINK WE
CAN SAY THROUGH TALENT.
THEY REALLY WORKED VERY HARD.
AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME
STATES THAT GOT TOO MUCH CREDIT
FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, FRANKLY
I COULD NAME YOU A COUPLE OF
THOSE TOO, I COULD NAME YOU A
COUPLE OF THEM.
WE HAVE OTHERS HAVEN’T BEEN
GIVEN CREDIT DONE A PHENOMENAL
JOB.
JOB. REPORTER: PART OF THE GUIDANCE
SEEMS TO SORT OF SHIFT TO STATES
AND COMPANIES THE BURDEN OF
ADDITIONAL TESTING AND
SURVEILLANCE BUT ALSO THE SORT
OF NEW NORMAL IN WHICH THERE’S
SMALLER CROWDS AND RESTAURANTS
AND BARS.
AND BARS. >> THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE
NORMAL.
NORMAL. THERE WILL NOT BE A NEW NORMAL
WHERE SOMEBODY HAS BEEN HAVING
25 YEARS, 158 SEATS IN A
RESTAURANT AND NOW HE HAS GOT 30
OR HAS GOT 60.
BECAUSE THAT WOULDN’T WORK.
THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
NORMAL WILL BE IF HE HAS 158 OR
6SEATS.
6SEATS. THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THAT WILL HAPPEN RELATIVELY
QUICK WHICH WE HOPE.
THAT IS OUR NORMAL.
OUR NORMAL IF YOU HAVE 100,000
PEOPLE IN ALABAMA FOOTBALL GAME
OR 110,000 TO BE EXACT, WE WANT
110,000 PEOPLE INTEREST.
WE WANT EVERY SEAT OCCUPIED.
NORMAL IS NOT GOING TO BE WITH A
GAME WITH 50,000 PEOPLE.
REPORTER: TO THAT POINT, NEARER
THAT HAPPENS AND STATES ARE
DOING REALLY WELL IN A MONTH,
OBVIOUSLY PER I THINK A LOT OF
OTHER STATES WILL BE LONGER THAN
THAT MY QUESTION WHAT IS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GOING TO DO
TO SORT OF HELP ESPECIALLY
COMPANIES THAT STATES AN LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS IN THOSE POSITIONS
PAY FOR WHAT IS NOW GOING TO BE
EVEN LONGER STANDARD?
>> WE’RE GOING TO BE WATCHING
OVER IT.
OVER IT. WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT
EVERYTHING IS WORKING OUT
SMOOTHLY.
SMOOTHLY. WE’RE IN VERY STRONG
COMMUNICATION WITH THE
GOVERNORS.
GOVERNORS. WE’RE GOING TO BE HELPING WITH
TESTING.
TESTING. THEY WILL BE DOING THE TESTING.
IT HAS TO BE LOCALIZED THING.
IT REALLY HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS
INVOLVED.
INVOLVED. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUPPOSED TO
DO TESTING IN A PARKING LOT IN
MIDDLE OF A CERTAIN STATE
2000 MILES AWAY IS RIDICULOUS.
BUT THE TESTING HAS BEEN SO
INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. TWO THINGS, TESTING AND
VENTILATORS.
VENTILATORS. VENTILATORS ARE REALLY TOUGH.
THEY’RE VERY COMPLEX.
THEY’RE VERY EXPENSIVE.
THEY’RE VERY SOPHISTICATED
MACHINES.
MACHINES. SOME ARE UNBELIEVABLY
SOPHISTICATED.
SOPHISTICATED. WE BUILT, YOU SAW GENERAL NOT
EDITORS YESTERDAY, THOUSANDS ARE
BEING ISSUED.
BEING ISSUED. WE HAVE 11 COMPANIES BUILDING
THEM.
THEM. WE HAVE NOT HAD ONE COMPLAINT IN
THE LAST WEEK 1/2 WHICH IS SURGE
TIME.
TIME. DON’T FORGET WHEN THEY WERE
CALLING THEY WERE CALLING
BECAUSE IN TWO WEEKS, FOUR
WEEKS, AND FIVE WEEKS THEY WOULD
NEED VENTILATORS.
NEED VENTILATORS. NOT BECAUSE THEY NEED THEM RIGHT
NOW.
NOW. WE WERE RIGHT ON OUR COUNTS.
NOBODY THAT WANTED A VENTILATOR
DIDN’T GET A VENTILATOR.
PLUS WE HAVE ADDITIONAL IF THERE
IS SURGE.
IS SURGE. WE HOPE THERE WILL NOT BE A
SURGE AT ALL BUT WE’LL BE ABLE
TO BUILD UP STOCKPILES OF STATES
WHO DIDN’T HAVE THEM, WHO SHOULD
HAVE HAD THEM.
WE’RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A BIG
STOCKPILE OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT. WE’LL BE ABLE TO HELP FOREIGN
COUNTRIES, COUNTRIES THAT NEED
HELP.
HELP. YOU HAVE LOOK, YOU HAVE
COUNTRIES THAT WILL NEVER BE
ABLE TO BUILD A VENTILATOR.
IT’S TOUGH STUFF.
WE’RE UNIQUELY TALENTED IN THE
SENSE WE CAN DO THINGS THAT
NOBODY ELSE CAN DO.
WE’LL GET RIGHT BACK TO YOU.
PETER IN THE BACK.
REPORTER: YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T
NAME STATES THAT MIGHT BE READY
TO GO.
TO GO. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME OF EXPERTS,
DR. BIRX, DR. FAUCI HOW MANY?
YESTERDAY YOU SAID 29 STATES
WERE IN GOOD SHAPE.
YOU THINK AS MANY AS 29?
>> I THINK 29 STATES ARE IN THE
BALL GAME, NOT FOR OPENING BUT I
THINK THEY WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN
RELATIVELY SOON.
RELATIVELY SOON. I THINK THE REMAINDER ARE JUST
GETTING BETTER.
GETTING BETTER. LOOK, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, THEY
ARE HAVING VERY TOUGH TIMES.
AND THEY WILL BE THERE.
THEY WILL BE THERE AT SOME POINT
BUT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE ONE
OF THE EARLIER STATES.
THEY WILL BE LATER OBVIOUSLY.
I JUST SPOKE WITH THE GOVERNOR
OF NEW JERSEY.
WE JUST SPOKE WITH MIKE AN
COUPLE OF FOLKS.
PHIL IS TERRIFIC GUY.
HE IS WORKING VERY HARD.
DEMOCRAT BUT WE GET ALONG.
HE IS WORKING VERY, HAVE HE VERY
HARD.
HARD. I GUESS NEXT TO BIG MASSIVE CITY
WHERE EVERYBODY IS VERY CLOSELY,
THEY’RE TOGETHER AND NEW JERSEY
HAS BEEN HITT UNHIT UNBELIEVABLY
HARD, AS HARD AS ANYBODY IN THE
TRUE SENSE BUT THEY’RE DOING A
GREAT JOB IN NEW JERSEY.
PETER THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY
WILL BE OPENING NEXT WEEK.
THAT IS NOT ONE -- WE HAVE A LOT
OF STATES, THROUGH LOCATION,
THROUGH LUCK, ALSO THROUGH A LOT
OF TALENT, WE HAVE STATES WITH A
LOT OF TALENT ARE IN GOOD
POSITION AND THEY’RE GETTING
READY TO OPEN, OVER NEXT SHORT
