We have to remember, reality is Strategic National stockpile was designed to deal with a or pandemic. Saster we have failed to restock it the h1n1 and swine flu. Restocked.

Host few minutes here of mitchell ofpaul michigan. Last year you announced you werent going to run again for congress. Wereaid at the time, you tired of the rhetoric and the vitriol in washington. Has this crises tamped that down . Had a rough 10 days here. The governor of the state and decided totration trade political barbs. Conversations with critical people saying guys, we have a job to do. Its not about who we can blame. Theres plenty of time for that later. We can do more by working together. That has gotten much better and i appreciate that. It didnt go away entirely and i hope it gets better. Interesting 3. 5 years, thats for sure. It certainly has been. An active member of the problem solvers caucus. We are working on a strict economy plan. It will have specific recommendations in there about the things we do for the economy. Things we do to have continuous operations for congress. After 9 11 and the swine flu there were a lot of discussions about making sure that congress functions and what we need to do with a variety of things. Like many things in washington, nothing was done besides talk. We are trying to work on that onthefly. These are things that the problem solvers will propose to the Bipartisan Group in the house. We are trying to find solutions and i have enjoyed that a great deal. Is remote voting a solution . Guest some version of it, if you can go through a legislative process. Congress, as you know, they dont just vote. There are motions on the floor, amendments that are offered. Oversight hearings on legislation. All of those things have to happen. Congress doesnt just to call a vote is not eating a member of congress. We need to deal with that holistically. Not just say remote voting and therefore we are above water. We are going to have to deal with something that allows for voting when you cant get to washington or one place. We dont have that in place. We need to have that function so that they can have a conversation about legislation. People who can hear experts talk about an issue. All of those things need to be in place. I know that they are working on some of that. The problem solvers, part of what we put forward will be some us to be anble effective legislative group as part of the constitution. Keeping the country moving forward, we need to innovate little bit here. Can you talk to us about life as a congressman in the age of coronavirus .

Particularly on testing issues that arose. Struggling with getting better, its a national challenge. I have a series of webinars today with the chambers of congress on what it means for Small Business in particular, for individuals and for communities. Think we have scheduled one for local media on wednesday to go through as well, where we understand the bill. Communication is i think the biggest role right now. Lets be honest, there are days of frustration trying to help with a problem weather is no easy solution to it. Of that is working our way through. What im doing with my family is look take it a week at a time. We are through this week. People are healthy, most are. How do we move forward as a family, as a community. Looking at 30 days, its daunting. Taking it a week at a time, how do we assess where we are going, what do we do to make it better and assess how the work is Going Forward . We have to accept that there will be changes in terms of how the nation functions. I dont think we know it all yet, but we havent seen it. Host we appreciate you start your day with us.
