A
Good
morning,
I'm
kit
kramer
president
and
ceo
of
the
asheville
area
chamber
of
commerce,
thanks
for
joining
us
this
morning.
Just
so
everyone's
aware,
this
meeting
is
being
live
interpreted
into
spanish.
If
you
would
like
to
listen
in
spanish,
there
is
an

at
the
bottom

If
you
will,

share
those

B
A
Thank
you,
rosie
yeah
at
the
last
year
and
a
half
has
been
really
tough
on
on
everyone
in
this
country
and
around
the
world,
especially
on
businesses
and
on
families
that
have
kids
at
home,
and
if
you
go
to
a
store
these
days
in
buncombe
county
about
52
percent
of
the
total
population
is
fully
vaccinated.
So
that
means
almost
every
other
person
that
you
see
could
be
unvaccinated
with
a
delta
variant
that
has
created
a
whole
different
situation
for
us
and
we're
going
to
learn
more
about
that
today,
but
all
is
not
lost.
A
We
are
not
the
same
community.
We
were
18
months
ago.
We
know
a
whole
lot
more
about
how
to
keep
our
customers
and
our
employees
and
our
businesses
safe
and
sanitized.
We
know
what
we
need
to
do.
The
the
thing
is,
we
have
to
find
the
will
to
do
it.
So
we're
going
to
talk
more
with
a
wonderful
panel
of
experts.
Today,
stacy
saunders
is,
is
buncombe
county's
public
health
director.
A
A
You
can
use
the
q
a
function
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
or
you
can
raise
your
hand,
and
you
will
be
given
the
option
to
turn
your
microphone
on
we're
going
to
ask
that
you
hold
your
questions
unless
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
type
them
into
into
chat.
That's
perfectly
fine,
but
otherwise
hold
off.
On
asking
your
questions
until
the
end
of
the
presentation.
C
Thanks
kitten
good
morning,
everybody
thanks
for
this
opportunity
to
talk
with
you
and
I'm
hearing
that
we
have
lots
of
participants
today.
So
I
I
am
very
grateful
and
so
appreciative,
and
I
think
I
speak
to
the
rest
of
for
the
rest
of
the
panelists
too.
When
I
say
we
are
really
really
appreciative
of
your
willingness
to
come
and
participate
in
this
dialogue
with
us,
so
that
we
can
tell
you
where
we
are
now.
C
As
far
as
the
coveted
landscape
and
sort
of
what
we're
seeing
as
our
current
situation
and
to
talk
about
what
tools
we
have
that
are
a
little
different
than
what
we
were.
C
You
know
12
to
18
months
ago,
and
then
what
we're
recommending
and
asking-
and
I
apologize
it-
never
fails
that
a
large
truck
goes
by
when
I'm
trying
to
have
a
meeting
and
give
you
some
thoughts
about
our
recommendations
for
what
we
should
be
doing
now
as
we're
seeing
a
level
of
high
transmission,
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen,
and
just
I
thought
it
would
be
easier
to
give
you
this
visual.
So
to
give
you
some
context,
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
slides.
I
don't
have
any
actually.
C
I
just
have
this
time
lapse
of
the
us
map
that
I
want
to
share,
and
I
want
to
give
you
some
context
that,
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
like
how
very
differently
how
very
different
it
looks
in
just
a
month's
time
like
how
like
why
there's
a
sense
of
urgency
is
going
to
be
illustrated
in
this
map
and
I'll
just
talk
our
way
through
it,
and
then
that's
the
only
thing
I'm
going
to
share
and
then
just
sort
of
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
local
level.
C
C
Okay,
great
perfect,
so
I'm
just
gonna
hit
play
here
and
so
we're
starting
at
the
beginning
of
july,
and
hopefully
that
will
that
little
part
right
there
will
go
away.
C
What
we're
seeing
is
the
beginning
of
july,
as
we
enter
the
july
4th
holiday
and
seeing
that
gosh
we
looked
like
we
were
in
a
pretty
good
spot
there
before
the
holiday
and
right
around
the
holiday.
But
as
we
enter
that
first
incubation
period
after
the
holiday,
we
start
to
see
things
change
and
I
do
apologize.
C
This
is
sort
of
a
warning
light
and
as
we
enter
into
the
the
two
weeks
post
fourth
july
and
that
incubation
period,
gosh
things
really
do
change
a
bit
and
we
start
to
see
much
more
of
this
orange
and
this
red
and
orange
and
red
are
high
alert
areas.
C
That's
the
substantial
and
high
transmission-
and
you
know
the
western
part
of
our
state,
where
we
are
typically
has
been
in
this
place
in
the
past-
has
been
this
place
where
we
tend
to
have
less
of
that
transmission.
C
C
You
know
that
that
we're
actually
going
to
probably
see
that
increase
so
now
is
a
really
important
time
to
be
talking,
and
so
hopefully
that
illustrates
that
there
is
a
sense
of
urgency
that
in
just
a
month's
time
we
went
from
being
in
a
really
favorable
place
to
a
really
not
favorable
place,
and
it
happened
very
quickly
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
about
what
we
look
like
locally
and
that
we
have
seen
more
more
than
a
doubling
of
our
cases
per
100
000
in
in
two
weeks,
and
that
means
that
we
are
seeing
now
about
151
cases
per
100
000
per
week.
C
We
haven't
seen
levels
that
high
since
our
surge
back
in
the
winter,
so
that
that
is
pretty
alarming
and
we
are
seeing
about
50
new
cases
per
day.
On
average,
the
percent
positivity
we
like
to
be
five
percent
or
below,
and
we
were
for
real
for
several
weeks.
We
were
just
a
month
ago.
C
We
were
consistently
under
two
percent
and
now
as
of
monday,
when
we
do
our
weekly
metrics
review,
we
were
at
7.2
percent
and
rising
and
likely
to
be
at
eight
percent,
probably
pretty
soon,
and
that
you
know
that
is
just
an
exponential
increase
in
in
the
rate
of
transmission,
and
so
that's
why
we
want
to
talk
to
you
all
today
that
a
couple
of
the
things
that
we
we
noticed
about
the
trends
is
that
the
overwhelming
majority
still
of
the
cases
investigated,
are
in
those
who
are
not
fully
vaccinated.
C
As
kit
said
earlier
right
now,
it's
roughly
like
one.
You
know
one
in
two
of
us
as
we
interact
with
each
other
and
it's
younger
groups
that
we're
seeing
the
majority
of
all
of
our
cases,
and
we
know
that
currently
we
have
no
executive
orders
that
are
mandating
anything
in
indoor
spaces
and
we
don't
have
any
local
restrictions
around
that.
Yet
so
I
just
wanted.
C
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
with
you
all
to
say
what
are
the
tools
that
we
have
now
that
that
is
different
than
what
we
had
a
year
ago
and
what
actions
can
we
take,
particularly
as
we
know,
indoor
spaces
provide
more
of
a
risk
than
when
we're
outdoor
and
trying
to
use
some
of
the
strategies
that
we
saw.
That
worked
now
in
the
absence
in
the
regardless
of
any
state
or
local
types
of
requirements,
and
so
a
couple
of
things.
C
C
Everybody
got,
or
at
least
it
was
sent
out
the
memo
and
sort
of
the
some
best
practices,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
now
that
we
didn't
have
a
year
ago
are
vaccines,
and
we
know
that
our
the
vaccines
that
are
available
to
us
today,
they're
safe,
effective,
even
with
the
circulating
variants
that
we
have
still
safe
and
still
effective,
and
so
we're
strongly
recommending.
C
You
know
strongly
recommend
that
everybody
gets
vaccinated
who
is
not
and
that
for
you
as
a
a
business
partner
that
you
being
able
to
really
encourage
your
work
for
your
workforce
to
get
vaccinated
if
they
are
not
already
and
we've
heard
of
some
businesses
that
are
requiring
that
of
their
employees.
A
One
of
those
stacey.
Let
me
just
interrupt
for
a
second
of
the
the
materials
that
were
sent
along
with
the
invitation.
In
some
cases,
they
may
not
have
received
materials
yet,
but
they
got
all
got
the
invitation
with
the
con.
The
context
established
materials
are
available
on
on
a
number
of
locations
bunkum.org,
as
well
as
asheville
chamber
coronavirus,
and
you
can
go
there
and
and
see
the
materials
that
are
available
signage
and
things
of
that
nature.
A
C
So
I'll
just
walk
everybody
through
it
and
then
we'll
you
know
we'll
we'll
move
on,
but
in
that
document
it
talks
about
vaccination
and
that
that's
one
tool
that
we
didn't
have
a
year
ago
and
that
our
business
partners
can
be
really
can
help
us
in
getting
folks
vaccinated,
particularly
as
recommending
and
encouraging
your
own
staff
to
do
so.
C
The
other
recommendations
it's
an
and
not
an
or
so
it
it's
right
now
because
of
the
the
we
are
in
a
time
of
high
transmission.
We
have
a
circulating
variant
that
is
far
more
contagious
than
what
we've
seen
before.
That's
putting
all
of
us
at
risk
and
and
the
reason
that
we
get
these
variants
that
you
know
get
stronger
and
stronger
is
that
we
still
have
a
a
high
unvaccinated
population,
and
that
is
just
a
I
mean.
C
Quite
literally,
it
is
a
breeding
ground
for
a
virus
to
come
into
the
body,
and
I
always
say
I
don't.
I
don't
like
to
sort
of
humanize
a
virus,
but
it
wants
to
survive.
So
what
happens?
Is
it
comes
into
the
body
and
while
it's
replicating
it
is
changing
itself
up,
because
it's
like
hey,
I've
got
to
figure
out
a
way
for
to
survive
and
because
humans
are
pretty
smart,
they're
going
to
figure
out
how
to
get
rid
of
me.
C
So
let
me
change
up
my
genome
so
that
I
can
become
more
contagious
or
more
severe
like
right.
Now
we
have
one
that
is
really
contagious,
but
not
highly
deadly
right.
At
any
moment,
we
could
be
allowing
the
virus
to
change
enough
to
that
that
that
diet
changes
to
highly
contagious
highly
deadly.
That
is
not
a
scenario
we
want,
so
the
more
that
we
get
folks
vaccinated,
the
less
we
give
it
an
opportunity
to
change
itself.
C
Like
that's
the
time
we're
in
right
now,
and
so,
if
you
take
away
just
two
things
from
me
today,
it's
help
get
folks
vaccinated,
strongly
encourage
it.
What
we
are
finding
is
that
that
folks,
who
are
coming
in
now,
verses
of
coming
in
earlier
when
they
were
still
eligible,
what
is
making
a
difference
is
that
someone
who
cares
about
them
and
loves
them
and
is
close
to
them
is
recommending
that
they
get
their
vaccine.
C
C
Let's
do
that
too,
and
then
of
course
hand
washing,
which
is
like
universal
for
all
communicable
diseases
and
just
should
be
like
good
practice
like
we
should
all
be
washing
our
hands
all
the
time.
So
doing
that
all
the
time
and
then
just
making
sure
I
didn't
miss
anything
and.
C
A
business
owner
thinking
about
washing
hands
like
establishing
places
where
folks,
who
visit
you,
can
either
sanitize
their
hands
or
have
a
hand
washing
station
within
in
the
within
the
space.
Okay,
that's
just
making
it
very
easy
to
make
the
right
and
make
the
healthiest
choice.
C
So
when
we
put
in
things
just
as
simple
as
like
hand
like
little
bottles
of
hand,
sanitizer
or
hand
hand
washing
station,
we
are
making
the
healthy
choice,
the
easiest
choice
and
what
we
know
through
public
health
practice
for
decades
now
is
that
when
we
make
the
healthy
choice,
the
easy
choice
folks
gravitate
we'll
gravitate
toward
that.
So
simple
things
like
just
putting
in
stations
where
folks
can
wash
their
hands
can
make
a
big
difference.
D
I
was
just
going
to
say
I
think
stacy
is
spot
on
and
I
I
have
a
few
slides
that
I'm
going
to
take
a
chance
of
sharing
here,
I'm
not
going
to
share.
This
is
a
talk
I
prepared
for
another
venue,
but
I
want
to
share
some
of
these
to
emphasize
some
of
the
points
that
that
stacy
made
now.
Are
you
seeing
my
screen?
Is
it?
Are
you
seeing
the
vaccination
side
so
so
this
is.
This?
D
Is
our
vaccination
over
time
in
the
in
the
united
states
and
we
peaked
in
april
with
the
vaccine
administration
on
a
daily
basis
over
4
million
on
a
given
day
and
we've
had
a
gradual
decline
since
that
time
in
north
carolina,
only
half
of
us
are
fully
vaccinated.
D
We
do
much
better
as
we
get
older
in
the
80
plus
range
for
the
older
folks
and
partially
vaccinated
is
almost
90,
that's
great,
because
those
are
the
people
who
get
sick
and
end
up
in
the
hospital.
So
it's
really
that's
just
a
wonderful
thing
to
see,
but
that
means
half
of
us
aren't
vaccinated
and,
if
we're
to
get
to
that
herd
immunity
that
we
talk
so
much
about,
we
have
to
get
to
that
85
to
90
or
75
range.
So
it's
really
critical
that
we
all
look
at
that.
D
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
share
was
how
this
is
affecting
our
hospitalizations.
This
is
what
we've
seen
at
mission
health
system.
The
blue
line
is
hospitalizations
over
time.
The
bottom
is
our
our
our
graph
of
time
itself
and
you'll
see
that
since
july,
4th
just
as
stacy
showed
on
that
u.s
map,
that
became
so
bloody
red,
we
have
seen
a
significant
and
substantial
increase
in
the
number
of
patients,
we're
not
to
the
levels
that
we
saw
in
january.
Okay,
so
that's
good
news,
but
it's
going
up
too
fast
and
too
quickly.
D
We
could
even
potentially
end
up
back
where
we
were
in
in
january
or
exceed
that
that
this
is
a
graph
here
and
I'm
not
going
to
spend
too
much
time
showing
data,
but
there's
just
a
few
more.
I
want
to
show
this
is
a
grant
that
shows
the
excess
deaths,
the
number
of
deaths
that
have
occurred
because
of
covid.
This
goes
back
to
2017.
D
D
D
We
know
that
the
delta
variant
is
evading
the
vaccines.
We
know
that
there
are
post-vaccination
infections
or
breakthroughs
as
people
have
seen,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
vaccine's
not
effective
and
not
working.
So
when
you
look
at
the
risk
of
disease
in
vaccinated
people
versus
unvaccinated
people
or
the
risk
of
being
hospitalized
or
the
risk
of
dying,
there's
an
eightfold
decrease
in
in
cases
in
those
among
those
who
are
vaccinated.
It
decreases
your
risk
of
being
infected
eight
times,
there's
a
25
fold.
25
time
decrease
in
both
hospitalization
and
death
from
being
vaccinated.
B
D
B
D
Pointed
out,
I
think
it's
really
critical,
that
we
that
we
do
what
we
can
to
get
vaccinated
and
then,
as
we
look
towards
the
future-
and
you
remember
what
stacy
said
about
vaccinations
and
about
mass,
we,
we
know
that
vaccinations
are
effective.
That's
our
left
hand
in
this
fight
right
and
we
know
that
masking
is
effective.
That's
our
right
hand
in
this
fight
and
if
we
make
some
projections-
and
these
are
projections-
it's
hard
to
know-
if
they're
going
to
be
accurate
or
not,
but
it's
it's
the
best
that
we
have.
D
Our
current
course
says
that
this
peak
will
peak
in
in
the
early
part
of
september
in
terms
of
cases
and
hospitalizations
and
deaths
will
lag
towards
the
end
of
september,
but
it
could
be
worse.
We
don't
know
it
could
be
as
peaking
as
late
as
early
october,
and
we
do
know,
however,
based
on
our
experience
with
mass
and
vaccinations
that
masking
can
dramatically
shape
change
the
shape
of
this
curve.
Remember
early
on,
we
spoke
at
length
about
flattening
the
shape
of
the
curve
flattening
the
curve.
A
You
guys
I
want
to.
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
and
throw
rat
on
the
table
a
couple
of
rats,
actually
one
being
that
I
know
that
employers
desperately
want
their
people
to
get
vaccinated
for
the
most
part
and
but
are
very
uncomfortable
about
about
any
requirement
for
vaccination
and
instead
have
tried
to
encourage-
and
I
think
it's
really
important-
that
we
try
and
keep
the
heat
out
of
this
conversation
and
avoid
the
the
way
it's
been
politicized
in
the
past.
A
A
Incentives
now
are
available
from
the
state
level
as
well
for
people
where
that
can
matter.
I
just
encourage
you
to
try
and
keep
the
heat
out
of
it
and
instead
to
think
about
avoiding
shutdown,
avoiding
shutdown
of
businesses,
avoiding
shutdown
of
schools,
which,
of
course,
we
would
have
to
shut
down.
If
we
got
to
a
certain
point-
and
everyone
was
in
danger-
I
don't
think
anybody
wants
to
go
back
to
that.
A
But
there
are
lots
of
things
that
we
can
do
to
keep
ourselves
safe
and-
and
I
know
fletch
was-
was
communicating
with
us
on
a
regular
basis,
communicating
with
the
public
about
what
those
things
are.
We've
already
heard
from
bill
and
stacy
about
some
of
them,
but
fletch
do
you
want
to
talk
about
what
businesses
can
do.
E
Hey
kid
I'd
be
happy
to.
I
do
want
to
take
one
step
back
real
quick
though,
and
talk
as
I've
been
talking
with
different
groups.
I
feel,
like
I've,
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
kind
of
more
about
what
the
delta
variant
is.
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
take
one
step
back.
I
want
to
share
just
one
image.
E
This
is-
and
this
is
from
this
is
from
california
from
san
diego
county,
but
it's
really
indicative
of
what's
happening
everywhere.
It's
such
a
clean
start
graph.
I
think
it
just
really
captures
what's
going
on
and
that
this
green
line
across
the
bottom
for
the
last
several
months
is
infections
after
after
vaccination
for
those
fully
vaccinated
and
this
gold
line
is
those
not
fully
vaccinated
or
not
vaccinated.
You
can
see
this
taken
off
like
a
sky
like
a
rocket
and
that
this
is
the
start
of
an
epicurve
and
and
locally.
E
Although
our
numbers
are
low,
those
changes
are
statistically
significant
because
we're
seeing
doublings
or
triplings
it's
just
indicators
to
public
health
that
we're
seeing
some
kind
of
start
of
a
curve
and
all
these
conversations
from
here
a
lot
of
deja
vu.
Because
it's
the
same
thing
we
were
at
last
last
year.
We're
talking
about
flattening
the
curve.
E
Again
we're
talking
about
three
w's
again,
and
so
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
delta
variant-
is
that
it's
anticipated
about
85
or
more
of
new
cases
are
due
to
the
delta
variants
and
we're
seeing
with
a
delta
variant,
more
20
and
30
year
olds,
hospitalized
than
we
were
with
previous
strains
and
with
with
previous
strains
where
we,
if
we
anticipated
that
somebody
who
is
contagious,
would
only
infect
one
or
two
people
with
a
delta
variant
that
may
be
as
high
as
six
or
eight
people.
E
So
it's
almost
tripling
how
infectious
that
was
so
that
this
is
kind
of
why.
I
think
you
guys
are
seeing
headlines
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
especially
over
the
last
couple
weeks,
about
the
concern
from
public
health
nationwide
about
the
delta
variant.
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
catch
up
on
that
real
quick,
but
I
really
don't
have
anything
to
add
about
what
we
could
do
to
be
safe
to
what
stacy
said
in
the
materials
you
guys
got.
E
There
are
really
strong
recommendations
from
us
from
public
health
to
what
you
guys
can
do
to
safeguard
your
business
and
safeguard
the
community.
It's
it's
very
similar
to
what
we
said
last
year,
but
the
big
game
changers.
Now
that
we
have
vaccines
and
vaccines
really.
What
gets
us
through
this?
So
we're
still
gonna
strongly
recommend
indoors
in
your
workspaces,
we're
in
masks
we're
going
to
recommend
the
social,
distancing
and
hygiene,
but
really
anything.
E
You
can
do
to
encourage
your
families,
friends,
staff
employees
to
get
vaccinated,
really
kind
of
solves
all
those
problems
for
us,
so
that
that's
the
biggest
ask
as
far
as
executive
orders
locally
we're
no
longer
under
a
local
state
of
emergency.
So
until
unless
we
reinstated
one
of
those,
we
won't
have
any
local
restrictions
or
mandates.
Until
you
see
that,
and
the
rhetoric
from
the
state,
at
least
for
the
last
couple
weeks
makes
it
seem
like
the
governor
intends
to
let
this
state
of
emergency
expire.
E
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
right
now,
but
the
data
changing
as
quickly
as
it
is.
I
think,
there's
still
potential
that
the
state
could
kind
of
change
its
course,
and
we
got
this
question
a
lot.
E
Last
year
we
don't
really
get
heads
up
with
the
state's
thinking,
sometimes
we're
finding
out
watching
this
broadcast
live
with
you
guys,
but
I
think
the
state
has
been
driven
by
data
in
this
whole
response
for
the
last
18
months,
and
I
think
if,
when
they
see
the
same
kind
of
trends
that
we're
looking
at
they'll
make
the
appropriate
decisions.
A
A
We
at
the
chamber
have
already
made
the
decision
that
we
are
requiring
masks
of
both
vaccinated
and
unvaccinated.
If
you
come
to
a
chamber
event,
that's
starting
tonight
at
our
business
after
hours
and
our
own
staff,
we've
got
a
hundred
percent
vaccination
of
our
staff,
but
we
have
guests
who
come
in
so
we're
masking
up
when
we're
in
central
areas
together.
A
So
think
about
that,
if
you
would
please
bill,
you
were
looking,
you
showed
us
briefly,
a
delta
variant
slide.
You
want
to
do
that
again
and
tell
us.
A
D
Exactly
what
we're
talking
about
with
respect
to
this
delta
variant,
I
think
you
can
see
this
on
here.
Oh
it
just
went
away,
didn't
it
yeah,
it
did.
Okay,
let
me
there.
D
Get
to
the
right
one
hold
on
bear
with
me.
Okay,
I
hope
you
can
see
this
on
the
bottom.
The
x-axis
here
is
how
infectious
or
contagious
the
illness
is.
As
you
move
to
the
right,
you
get
more
infectious
and,
as
you
move
up
the
graph
on
the
y-axis,
you
get
more
fatal.
So
the
bird
flu
is
highly
fatal,
but
not
very
contagious,
ebola,
very
fatal.
If
you
get
it,
you
know
not
super
contagious,
measles,
very,
very
contagious
and
moderately.
D
Mortal
the
difference
between
the
original
coronavirus
and
what
we
have
now
is
that
it's
much
more
transmissible
it
looks
to
be
perhaps
as
transmissible
as
chickenpox,
which
is
highly
contagious,
and
those
of
you
are
as
old
as
I
am
remember.
We
used
to
have
chickenpox
parties
to
get
people
infected
because
you
then
developed
immunity
and
it
didn't
cause
a
lot
of
long-term
sequelae,
the
problem
with
the
delta
variant
and
there
were
believe
it
or
not.
Cyrus
will
be
two
virus
parties
early
on
god
forbid.
D
What
a
mistake
that
was,
but
that
was
before
vaccines.
It
is
more
much
more
transmissible
and
every
bit
as
mortal
as
as
the
the
original
variant,
and
so
for
that
reason
we
have
our
our
grave
concerns
about.
What's
going
to
happen
with
this
variant
and
that's
why
it's
infecting
people
who
are
already
vaccinated.
D
We'll
figure
out
a
way
to
make
them
available,
I'm
happy
to
share
them.
I
the
whole
deck.
Is
it's
much
more
comprehensive,
but
some
stuff?
I
think,
you'll
find
very
interesting
and
most
of
the
stuff
that
I
take
actually
and
put
into
my
presentation.
Some
of
it
is
specific
data
from
our
health
system,
all
of
which
I'm
happy
to
share,
but
a
lot
of
it
is
publicly
available,
and
so
I
list
the
reference
sites
on
the
slides
too.
For
so
you
can
go
to
those
websites.
A
Another
rat
that
was
mentioned
was
whether
or
not
the
the
merits
and
debates
of
of
requiring
vaccination
by
employers.
Some
of
the
employers
I've
talked
with
are
are,
they
are
hesitant
because
of
the
very
tough
labor
market
we're
in
right
now,
and
that
is
so.
They
have
concerns
about
requiring
and
requiring
vaccinations
as
a
result,.
A
They're
they're
just
hesitant
about
it
and
instead
of
been
trying
to
use
the
carrot
rather
than
the
stick,
we
know
that
the
county
has
has
asked
all
their
employees
to
either
vaccinate
or
to
wear
a
mask,
full-time
and
test
weekly
and
that
that's
certainly
an
option
for
business
as
well.
We
are
a
right
to
work
state.
You
could
require
it
if
you
chose
to
again
there's
strength
in
numbers,
but
that
is
going
to
be
up
to
the
individual
business
owner
about
what
you
want
to
do.
A
I
think
talking
about
shutdowns
and
avoiding
shutdowns
and
sending
kids
home
and
sending
people
home
is
probably
a
pretty
powerful
incentive.
I
mean
I
don't.
I
know
I
don't
enjoy
wearing
a
mask
either,
but
and
I
chose
to
get
vaccinated.
I
hope
others
will
make
that
same
kind
of
choice,
but
but
we
need
to.
We
need
to
to
do
what
we
can
to
hold
things
down.
Stacy.
C
Yeah,
so
I
was
just
going
to
build
off
of
that
and
say
that's
right.
It's
every
business,
like
every
business
has
to
make
that
decision
for
themselves.
There
are
businesses
that
have
there
are
businesses
that
haven't,
and
even
in
both
of
those
situations
they're
in
the
businesses
that
have
and
have
it,
they've
also
been
layered
on
other
protective
measures
and
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
now.
So,
if
you're,
if
you're
a
business
who
feels
strongly
and
you
you
want
to
take
that
next
step,
businesses
are
mandating
it.
Yes,
that
is
true.
C
If
you're
a
business
that
has
some
reservation
about
that,
there
are
still
other
things
you
can
do.
That
can
have
an
additive
effect.
One
of
them
is
if,
if
you're
not
in
a
place
where
you're
going
to
mandate,
it
then
work
with
your
vaccine
providers
in
your
area
to
offer
vaccine
on-site
or
in
a
location
where
your
employees
can
get
it
pretty
easily.
C
That's
one
of
the
factors
that
we
have
noticed
that
we've
shut
like
over
time
that
we've
seen
is
that
for
some
folks,
it's
not
that
they're
vaccine
hesitant
they're,
not
vaccine,
hesitant
at
all
they're,
not
opposed
to
the
vaccine.
It's
just
that
they
can't
get
off
of
work
to
get
it.
It's
too
far
for
them
to
go
they're
afraid
if
they
have
a
side
effect
like
gosh,
my
arm's
sore,
or
maybe
I
run
a
low
grade
fever
that
I
can't
miss
work
right.
So
there
are
things
that
businesses
can
do.
C
C
So
those
are
all
options
to
help
encourage
and
then
the
other
pieces.
Some
businesses
who
have
not
mandated
or
or
have
also
also
offer
an
incentive.
So
kids
right
like
there
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
monetary.
Some
businesses
will
offer
just
some
pto
that
if
you
go
and
get
your
vaccine
not
only
do
you
get
to
use
that
as
work
time,
but
then
you
get
some
pto
on.
In
addition
to
that,
we,
I
will
say,
like
we
have
not
gotten
our
summer
cash
cards
yet
and
we've
not
implemented
that
yet.
C
But
we
are
hopeful
that
they
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
any
day
now
and
so
buncombe
county
hhs
will
have
will
be
participating
in
the
summer
cash
program.
That
dhhs
has,
which
means
that
when
we
go
out
or
when
folks
come
here
to
our
health
department
to
get
a
vaccine,
if
it's
their
first
dose,
they
will
be
eligible
for
a
hundred
dollars
and
we
have
that
for
a
short
period
of
time.
C
But
it
might,
it
might
be
just
the
right
period
of
time
right
now
to
do
that
and
then,
as
kit
said,
the
other
things
that
you
can
do
are
those
layered
approaches
for
infection
prevention
of
your
patrons
your
work
staff
requiring
a
mass,
regardless
of
their
vaccination
status
right
now
and
social
distancing
as
much
as
possible.
I
did
see
a
question
come
up
in
the
chat
and
I'm
not
sure
if
someone's
moderating
that
about
what
percentage
are
maybe
who
are
fully
vaccinated.
C
So
what
I
can
tell
you
of
the
cases
investigated
gosh
the
last
two
weeks.
The
cases
that
have
been
investigated
overwhelmingly
like
90
plus,
are
in
those
who
are
not
fully
vaccinated
and
that's
a
trend,
that's
happening
in
our
state
and
at
our
national
level,
10
at
national
level,
too.
We
have
seen
that
come
down
a
little
bit
in
the
just
about
a
month.
To
I
don't
know
six
six
to
eight
weeks
ago,
that
percentage
was
around
96
were
not
fully
vaccinated.
C
Now
we're
hovering
in
the
90
to
92
percent,
where,
depending
on
the
week
that
we're
in
and
that
is
showing
us
how
very
dangerous
the
delta
variant
can
be
because,
like
I
said
before,
and
bill
reiterated
it
too,
that
we
expect
to
see
some
of
those
post-vaccination
infections,
but
that
doesn't
mean
the
vaccine's
not
working.
C
The
vaccine
is
very
effective
at
preventing
illness
preventing
infection,
but
also,
if
you
are
a
vaccinated
person
who
then
does
unfortunately
get
infected,
it's
really
really
effective
against
severe
illness,
hospitalizations
and
deaths,
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
like
those
hospitalizations
and
deaths,
are
going
to
are
going
to
be
some
of
the
most
influential
drivers
as
to
what
we
do
next,
as
a
community.
D
Yeah
I
put
that
slide
back
up
to
emphasize
what
you
just
said.
Stacey.
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
mandate
for
a
second,
because
there's
a
lot
of
issues
around
that
and
frankly,
I
took
a
little
heat
at
the
county
commissioner
meeting
this
last
week
for
hca
and
mission
health,
not
vaccinating
not
mandating
vaccinations
in
all
of
our
employees.
D
At
this
point
in
time,
I
think
people
realize
the
vaccine
is
currently
under
what
we
call
an
emergency
use,
authorization,
meaning
that
the
risks
and
benefits
were
weighed,
and
it
was
decided
in
this
emergency
situation
that
we're
in
last
year
that
the
potential
benefit
of
authorizing
the
vaccine
for
use
outweighed
the
risk,
but
it
didn't
mean
that
we
had
all
the
data
that
we
wanted.
We
recognized
the
urgency
and
the
need-
and
so
the
fda
said
very
important-
to
get
this
sorry
about
that.
Getting
a
call!
D
I
got
a
decline,
oh
well,
so
the
they
but
they're
now
moving
towards
full
biologic
license
approval
and
we
believe
that
that
will
happen
for
the
pfizer
vaccine
in
september
of
this
year.
That's
the
latest
news,
and
all
that
means
is
that
then
the
full
stamp
of
approval
to
the
best
of
our
knowledge.
This
is
safe
and
effective
that
the
benefits
outweigh
the
risk
are
going
to
be
in
place,
and
I
think
at
that
time
you
will
see
many
universities,
many
health
care
systems.
D
I
have
a
little
bit
of
an
ethical
conundrum
saying
you
know
when
the
fda
says,
we
can't
give
something,
because
we
don't
have
enough
data
that
we
shouldn't
do
it,
but
now
that
we
haven't
fully
authorized
it
that
we
mandate
it,
it
doesn't
seem
to
make
the
kind
of
sense
that
that
that
I
would
like
now.
That
being
said,
I
fully
believe
and
insist
that
you
know
believe
that
everybody
shouldn't
be
vaccinated,
both
our
employees
and
our
staff,
and
it's
in
our
in
in
the
community
in
general.
D
I
believe
we
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
millions,
if
not
billions,
of
doses
of
this
vaccine
given
to
the
populace
and
the
the
the
side
effect
rate
is
small.
The
the
the
efficacy
is
proven,
and
you
know
we
fully
support
vaccination.
D
A
And-
and
we
can,
that
is
something
that
is
within
our
control,
another
rat
on
the
table.
There
are
lots
of
people
who
are
very
concerned
about
how
you
confront
customers
coming
in
into
your
place
of
business
when
and
you
we've
got
by
the
way,
there's
signage
and
I
misspoke
earlier
it's
buncomberready.org
is
the
website
address,
as
well
as
the
chambers
website
address
asheville
chamber,
slash,
coronavirus,
you're,
going
to
see
signage
options
there
that
you
can
use
about
your
your
desire
for
folks
to
wear,
masks
yeah
at
when
they're
coming
into
your
store.
A
It
is
your
store,
and
while
people
don't
want
to
be
have
to
be
confrontational-
and
I
encourage
you
not
to
be-
I
encourage
you
to
take
the
heat
out
of
it
to
say
we
are
voluntarily
trying
to
avoid
further
shutdowns
of
business,
businesses
and
schools.
So
we're
we've
decided
that
we
are.
We
are
asking
everyone
to
please
wear
masks
when
they
come
into
our
place
of
business,
so
I
encourage
you
to
work
with
your
staff.
A
We
are
simply
trying
to
protect
our
community
from
further
shutdowns
that
are
so
disruptive
to
everyone,
and
we
would
ask
you
to
please
consider
wearing
the
mask
and
if
they
refuse
we're
not
going
to
turn
them
away,
but
we're
hoping
we're
going
to
have
a
supply
of
masks
there
and
hope
that
people
will
choose
to
do
that
because
we
aren't
under
mandates.
We
don't
want
to
be
under
mandates,
but
by
taking
these
steps
we
can
avoid
that
and
we
can
help
flatten
that
curve
that
has
already
been
discussed.
A
Similarly
again,
you
don't
want
to.
You
may
not
want
to
have
conversations
with
your
staff.
I
urge
you
not
to
get
into
the
realm
of
political
about
this,
because
people
feel
so
very
strongly
and
we
need
to
respect
people's
political
positions,
but
talk
about
the
need
to
not
send
people
home
for
them
to
lose
their
incomes.
A
For
kids
to
be
in
schools
for
kids
to
not
be
in
school
and
working
parents
impacted
plus
those
kids
whose
parents
don't
have
the
wherewithal
to
sit
on
them.
Can
we
afford
another
year
of
kids,
not
learning?
We
really.
I
mean
the
schools
have
done
the
best
they
can.
But
it's
up
to
us
to
take
the
steps
we
need
to
take
to
be
leaders
to
encourage
the
best
possible
behavior
vaccination,
preferably
because
in
the
long
term
we
really
need
to
reach
herd
immunity
so
that
we
don't
have
a
variant
beyond
delta.
A
We
variants,
as
stacy
said
they
have
it.
They
get
worse.
They
don't
get
better
over
time.
So
we've
got
to
knit
this
in
the
bud
in
terms
of
the
the
websites
for
signs
again
buncomberready.org.
A
It
has
materials
that
you
can
use
that
you
can
copy
off
the
letter
that
stacy
was
describing.
Is
there
also?
The
chamber
has
actually
put
together
our
own
variation
on
a
theme
and
put
together
masks
reflecting
our
desire
not
to
see
shutdowns
and
therefore
our
voluntary
requests
for
people
to
mask
up,
because
we
also
quote
the
cdc,
because
the
cdc
has
recommended
mask
wearing
when
you're
in
a
group
setting
so
we're,
including
that
we've
got
signage,
that
we've
produced.
A
D
I'm
not
I'm
in
the
business
community
in
the
sense
that
we
have
10
000
employees
in
our
in
our
organization
locally,
but
you
know
clearly
stacy
and
I
have
we
come
from
a
different
perspective
being
in
the
public
health
perspective
and
and
my
personal
perspective
is
that
I
you
know,
I
frankly
have
zero
problem
with
mask
mandates,
because
we're
talking
about
saving
lives,
we're
not
talking
about
inconvenience,
we're
talking
about
someone.
D
If
we
allow
the
chain
of
transmission
to
continue,
we
will
find
someone
as
we
have
who's
vulnerable
and
can
be
infected
and
die,
and
in
fact
I
think
people
are
aware
that
there's
a
report
in
the
media
about
a
patient
who
was
31
years
old,
who
had
you,
know
two
children
and
delivered
a
baby
and
the
babies
in
the
nicu
and
passed
away
from
kovid.
D
So
this
is
a
very
real
issue
and,
and
I've
been
thinking
about
this
a
lot
you
know,
I
thought
about
the
the
and
of
course
most
of
us
now
are
we're
not
alive
during
world
war
ii.
But
if
you
remember
that
was
a
global
challenge,
like
no
other
that
had
been
faced
by
man
at
that
point
in
time
and
the
challenge
in
order
to
to
be
met,
demanded
lots
of
sacrifice
and
joint
effort
on
the
part
of
the
united
states.
Some
people
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice.
D
They
went
overseas,
fought
and
lost
their
lives,
but
many
sacrifices
were
made
at
home,
collectively,
rationing,
a
variety
of
different
things.
Industry
was
changed
over
to
help
the
war
effort,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
It
was
a
collective
effort
on
the
part
of
people
from
lights
out,
early
to
saving
oil
to
not
using
gasoline
to
recycling,
tires,
etc.
It
was
something
that
people
rallied
around
together
in
the
best
interest
of
not
just
themselves,
but
the
entire
community
has
huge
significant
sacrifice
to
themselves.
D
We're
asking
a
minor
sacrifice
right
now:
we're
asking
people
to
wear
masks,
it's
inconvenient,
it's
uncomfortable
at
times,
but
that's
really
all
it
is
it's
not
an
infringement
on
personal
liberties,
it's
an
ability
to
help
protect
your
fellow
mankind,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
do
that
now
to
to
to
bend
this
curve.
This
is
in
order
for
us
to
go
far
and
get
through
this.
We
need
to
maintain
our
diligence
right
now.
We've
seen
what's
happened
as
we
let
up
on
some
of
these
restrictions.
D
We
have
a
variant,
that's
come
along
and
we've
seen
a
rise
in
cases
as
kit
has
said
emphatically
and
passionately.
We
don't
want
to
go
backwards
on
on
our
economic
and
personal
freedoms.
We
want
to
move
forward,
but
we
have
to
do
it
slowly,
and
these
are
the
things
that
are
going
to
be
necessary
to
do
that.
A
Thank
you
there's
a
question
here
about
a
festival,
that's
planned
for
two
months
away
and
that
they've
been
advised
to
hold
off
on
the
cancellation
decision,
because
it
is
two
months
away
and,
and
other
events
seem
to
be
moving
ahead.
A
Are
there
measures
that
first
of
all,
is
it
reasonable
for
them
to
wait
on
a
cancellation
decision?
And
second,
is
it?
Are
there
measures
that
could
be
taken
to
collectively
improve
public
safety.
C
Who
wants
to
fletch?
Maybe
you
and
I
can
tag
team
this
one.
My
first
question
would
be:
is
it
an
outdoor
event?
And
so,
if
it
is
so
a
couple
of
things
that
fletch
touched
on
and
then
maybe
I'll
just
let
fletch
cover
it
from
there,
but
there
are
no
current
executive
orders
or
local
restrictions
around
event
capacity.
C
While
outdoor
is
better
than
indoor,
even
with
outdoor
events,
when
when
it
is
a
crowded
outdoor
event,
we
are
still
recommending
because
crowded
that
means,
even
if
it's
outdoors,
if
you've
got
bundles
of
people
together,
it's
still
a
recommendation
to
require
the
masks
for
for
crowded
outdoor
spaces
and
so
fletch
I'll
stop
there,
because
I
know
you
you've
been
covering
much
more
of
this
and
I
did
want
to
say
after
this
question
bill,
we're
we've
got
some
questions
around
boosters
and
some
around
the
adverse
reactions
and
so
I'll
cover
boosters.
C
But
you
had
some
really
great
information
around
the
bears,
data
and
stuff
that
would
be
great
to
share.
I
think:
okay
go
ahead.
Fletch.
E
Yeah
stacy,
you
really
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
with
that.
There's
first
thing
to
consider
is
whether
it's
indoor
and
outdoor,
because
we
know
it's
really
changes
the
landscape
and
and
again,
if
it's,
I
think
we
could
kind
of
determine
whether
it's
a
dense,
outdoor
or
kind
of
loose
outdoor,
depending
on
the
event,
if
we're
kind
of
like
the
thing
where
people
are
stacked
up
for
a
concert,
that's
pretty
dense,
definitely
recommend,
masks
and,
as
stacy
said,
there's
no
at
this
time,
there's
no
restrictions
or
requirements
for
that.
E
E
You
know
talent,
like
start
you're,
an
opportunity
to
educate
these
people
coming
to
the
event.
Let
them
know
that
trends
are
increasing
now.
Let
them
know
now
what
they
can
do,
because,
two
months
away,
if
they're
not
vaccinated
yet
to
be
fully
immune,
you
know
it's
not
just
your
first
shot.
It's
your
first
shot,
your
second
shot
and
then
two
weeks
out
so
use
that,
as
a
talking
point
like
now's
the
timeline
to
start
your
vaccinations,
so
you're
ready
for
this
event
start
encouraging
them
start
laying
the
groundwork.
E
Now
that
this
very
very
well
may
likely
be
a
masked
event
outside
we
may
require
masks.
I
do,
and
so
I
think
that's
for
the
events
I
do
want
to
touch
on
something
speaking
of
masks
is
that,
although
it's
a
recommendation,
you
guys
as
individual
business
owners,
have
the
right
to
require
that
for
entry
to
your
business
same
as,
if
you
would
ask
somebody,
you
know:
hey
buddy,
you
need
to
go
outside.
E
If
you
don't
have
a
shirt
on,
you
can
ask
that
with
the
mask-
and
I
know
I
know
this
is
not
as
easy
on
the
on
the
ground.
In
practicality,
but
what
we
determined
last
year
is
that
continuum
as
if,
if
you
determine
you're
going
to
require
that
for
your
business
to
be
in
a
mask
and
somebody
comes
in
masterless,
you
inform
them.
That's
your
policy
and
ask
them
to
put
a
mask
on
if
they
refuse.
E
At
that
point,
you
can
ask
them
to
leave
as
that's
your
business
requirement
if
they
refuse
to
leave
or
escalate.
At
that
point,
you
can
call
law
enforcement
and
that
that
escalates
that
point
into
trespassing,
I
know
that's
easier
said
than
done,
especially
if
you
have
front
of
house
staff.
You
know
trying
to
get
somebody
at
the
front
and
they're
escalating,
but
in
a
local
law
enforcement
has
told
us,
you
don't
have
to
use
a
non-emergency
number
for
that
call
9-1-1,
and
so
that
would
be
the
continuum
if
you
guys
choose
to
enforce
that.
C
C
I
think
that
the
who
just
actually
released
a
statement-
maybe
just
in
the
past
couple
of
days,
that
you
know
particularly
right
now,
where
less
than
ten
percent
of
our
global
population
has
even
been
vaccinated,
that
a
priority
should
be
to
make
sure
that
some
of
our
other
lower
lower
you
know,
finance
sort
types
of
countries
are
getting
or
lower
funded
types
of
countries
are
getting
a
better
vaccination,
but
that's
sort
of
a
global
global
perspective
for
the
u.s,
the
fda,
nor
the
cdc
has
made
a
recommendation
around
boosters
at
this
time.
D
That's
exactly
right,
and
but
that
being
said,
I
my
gut
instinct,
is
that
we
are
likely
to
see
over
time
as
the
variance
as
the
virus
changes
a
need
for
additional
vaccines.
Just
like
we
do
with
influenza.
D
I
know
that
in
california,
they're
actually
calling
in
san
francisco
for
people
who
got
the
j
and
j
shot
to
get
a
booster
shot
of
pfizer
at
this
point
in
time,
there's
not
a
lot
of
data
to
support
that.
We
know
that
you
know
that
if
we
could
target
the
vaccine
to
be
more
specific
to
the
delta
variant,
which
is
in
the
works
by
all
the
companies
that
have
vaccines
right
now,
we
would,
you
know,
increase
our
immunity,
but
I
believe
that
over
time
we
will
see
recommendations
for
boosters,
perhaps
on
an
annual
basis.
A
D
Well,
they're,
a
local
lab
that
I
really
want
to
support,
because
they've
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
get
to
some
of
the
historically
marginalized
populations
in
terms
of
getting
testing
done,
and
so
I
give
them
a
shout
out:
they're
locally
owned,
minority-owned
business.
A
So
that's
folks
and
if
you've,
if
you
know
of
other
rapid
test
locations,
feel
free
to
enter
those
into
the
chat
as
well
or,
if
you
know
anything
about
for
those
who
may
not
have
insurance
what
the
what
the
implications
might
be.
Let's
see
other
questions.
A
We've
talked
about.
Boosters
we've
talked
about
the
website.
A
How
to
handle
annie
max
that
yeah,
explore
asheville
is,
is
hosting
a
webinar
in
september
about
handling
people
who
are
opposed
to
wearing
masks.
That
is
a
great
resource.
It's
in
the
chat.
So
please
look
for
that
as
an
option
for
training
with
your
staff.
Should
you
have
a
front
facing
organization?
A
D
Yeah,
so
so
this
gets
back
to
that
you
know,
do
everything
we
can
to
prevent
transmission.
So
as
an
example,
we
have
a
administrative
office
here
in
biltmore
town
biltmore
park
right
near
town
square
and
we
have
gone
to
masking
indoors
when
we're
with
other
people,
because
it's
what
the
cdc
recommends
it
doesn't.
You
know
it's
anytime,
you're
with
people
who
aren't
inside
your
immediate
family.
D
You
should
consider
masking
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
It's
easy!
It's
safe!
You
know,
that's
our
guidance.
C
Yeah
that
definition
of
public
space
is
not
necessarily
like.
It
means
like
not
your
home
like
meaning
that
you
are.
You
are
interacting
with
people
who
you
do
not.
You
do
not
live
with,
and
you
do
not
know
where
they
were
right.
So
you
know
when
you're
in
your
office
solitaire,
you
know,
obviously
I'm
not
wearing
a
mask
bill's,
not
wearing
one
in
his
office
right
and
so.
C
But
when
you
come
in
to
interact
you've
got
it.
I
know
we've
got
them
handy
in
case
someone
comes
in,
but
if
it's
about
interacting
with
other
people,
because
we
do
have
it
and
primarily
because
we
have
such
a
high
level
of
transmission
right
now
with
a
variant
that
is
much
different
than
our
original
strain,
that
we
are
strongly
recommending
that
when
you
interact
like
yes,
that
you
should
be
wearing
a
mask
when
you're
in
indoor
public
spaces
and
not
in
an
office
by
yourself.
D
The
question
we
just
got
a
question
about
one
or
two
masks.
You
know
one
is
better
than
none.
Two
is
better
than
one:
it's
pretty
common
sense.
We
the
mask,
as
we
have
learned
over
time
as
much
as
they
protect
us
from
other
people.
They
also
protect
other
people
from
us.
If
we're
asymptomatically,
infected
and
up
to
20
of
the
infections
in
people
who
are
vaccinated
are
actually
asymptomatic,
so
you
might
not
really
realize
you're
infected
another
reason
to
wear
when
you
go
out,
so
you
don't
harm
other
people.
A
Folks,
I've
also
seen
in
the
chat
that
party
urgent
cares
have
rapid,
rapid
testing
tests
are
completed
in
40
minutes.
So
that's
another
option
for
those
of
you
who
who
need
to
send
an
employee
for
a
rapid
test
or
or
something
of
that
nature.
Yeah.
D
Mission,
my
care
now
may
heck
most
of
the
providers.
The
sisters
of
mercy,
urgent
care
will
do
testing
too.
So
you
know
you
could
it's
pretty
widely
available?
If,
if
you
need
it.
A
There's
also
a
post
here
about
a
state
website
that
can
help
find
testing
locations.
So
please
look
at
the
chat
we
will.
We
will
be
capturing
the
chat
as
well,
so
that
you
can
have
that
as
an
option
and
and
any
questions
that
don't
get
answered
today
will
be
responded
to
advent
health
and
arden
advent
on
airport
road.
Those
are
also
locations.
D
There
is
a
question:
that's
asking
about
rapid
tests
versus
other
tests,
so
almost
all
the
tests
that
we
utilize
right
now
are
pcr
tests.
They
look
for
the
dna
as
of
of
the
virus
as
opposed
to
the
antigen
of
the
virus.
I
won't
get
too
scientific
on
you
here,
but
early
on,
the
rapid
test
was
only
the
antigen.
We've
come
a
long
way
with
our
pcr
testing
in
terms
of
availability
and
rapidity
with
which
we
can
do
the
turnaround.
The
pcr
testing
is
is
the
better
way
to
go.
D
C
So
a
couple
of
things
that
I
saw
pop
up
so
bill
after
I
do
these
two
things:
if
you'll
cover
those
the
their
thing
yeah
folks
are
asking
about,
when
will
the
little
ones
less
than
12
be
eligible
yeah?
I
don't
have
an
exact
date.
Nobody
has
an
exact
date
yet,
but
everything
that
we're
sort
of
hearing
is
late
fall
early
winter
to
get
those
trials
through,
and
then
someone
asked
if
about
cdc,
recommendations
for
quarantine.
C
C
Okay
and
so
bill,
if
you'll
cover
those
adverse
reaction,
things
that
I
think
are
popping
up
a
couple
of
times
that
folks.
D
Yeah,
so
so
there's
lots
of
questions
about
the
side
effect
profile
of
these
vaccines
and
and,
as
I
said,
we
administered
billions
across
the
world.
160
million
people
fully
vaccinated
in
the
united
states
with
well
over
350
million
doses,
given
because
many
require
two
doses.
Of
course,
the
the.
When
we
looked
at
200
plus
thousand
people
in
hca,
we
found
that
the
serious
event
rate,
meaning
serious
adverse
things,
not
just
sight
irritation,
you're
gonna,
get
sight
irritation.
D
You're
gonna
have
some
redness.
Sometimes
that
can
be
highly
variable.
Sometimes
it's
more
severe
in
some
people
than
others,
but
it's
transient
and
not
permanent
and
not
life-threatening
you'll.
Get
aches
and
pains
fever
chills
some
of
the
viral
syndromes
because
it
triggers
your
immune
response,
of
course,
you're
developing
antibodies,
and
that
triggering
of
the
immune
response
is
what
we
feel
when
we
get
sick
that
lasts
for
24
to
48
hours.
Those
are
minor
and
occur,
and
you
know
20
of
people
are
more
the.
A
D
D
It
can
have
cold
like
symptoms
if
you're
vaccinated,
but
overall,
if
you're
not
vaccinated,
the
mortality
of
covet
is
one
to
two
percent,
so
you're
looking
at
point,
zero,
zero,
zero,
two
six
percent
versus
one
to
two
percent-
that
there's
no
from
a
risk
benefit
point
of
view.
There's
really
it's
no
comparison.
A
Folks,
we
have
run
out
of
time
we're
actually

time

little
bit.
