Nasa. Its been reinvigorated. It was dead as a doornail and now its very much alive. Perhaps, and you know everybody. They know you swls everybody. Why dont you give them a little presentation . Absolutely. Nasa has been hard at work. Part of the whole government approach to combat the coronavirus so a lot of our work force has been staying at home. The question is what do you do with rocket scientists when they stay at home . What nadeau is build amazing nifpks. I have just flee to showcase here but familiar so many others we could talk about but ill go from left to right. This is an oxygen hoods, so a person who has coronavirus, we wants to make sure that they have pressure for their lung with 100 oxygen so we put in hoods on them and we also want to make sure theyre not she woulding virus at the same time so it protects the Health Care Workers far working on the patient. So this is an oxygen hood. It was create build scientists at the Armstrong Flight Research center in california in conjunction with the with whats called virgin gallactic. A commercial company that will be launching people to space straight up and straight down in a very short period of time, just commercially. Tours, new will. President trump so straight up, a little whatever and straight down. Whats the level of safety of that . I think its very safe and if you ask them theyll say its very safe. Its sir Richard Bransons organization. Te he tookout public so its anyhow publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and theyre getting customers very rapidly. President trump how high up do they go . About 50 miles. Over 50 miles, as a matter of fact. Straight up. President trump do they immediately come straight down . Theyll get about 150 minutes of weightlessness before heading back to earth. President frump would you do it . I would say absolutely, in a heartbeat. President trump ill pass. Nasa contracts with them for experiments. So we take experiments up for a period of time. Now, in reds box is something youre going to love. Its impressive. Nasa has this technology. When we launch a robot to mars, which as you know, were going to do here in july. When we launch a robot to mars, we have to sterilize the robot and make sure theres nona may robe the robot because we edont want to accidentally put a microbe on mars. We wants to make sure anything we discover was already there. We took that technology to sterilize a space california. And said how do we use it to sterilize the inside of a room . Thats what in device is think of it as a foring. It will fog the room and every surface in the room will then be sterilized. No coronavirus. We use it right now, Nasa Technology used by ambulances but now were going to use it for the inside of schools, the inside of pronls. President trump so people can breathe in this . Physical fake about an hour. It toucheses every surface and guarantees that theres no germs. Weve been using im in ambulances now for a while. Now we want to take and it use it to sterilize entire rooms so schools can can open and businesses can open. President trump so its emptied out and then you would do it. Do you turn all the on remotely . Jew you just bring flit a room, set it down, let it fog and then every surface ends up being clean and people can go back to work knowing that their workspace is clean and it doesnt leave a film. President trump what is it that cleans the room . Its what we call a sterilant. Think of it as a fog. It goes flout the room, touches all the such ases and kills viruses. Well used it specificically for mers, for ebola and we believe its going to be very effective for coronavirus as well. President frump thats goods. And ill leapt Dave Gallagher here from the jet Propulsion Laboratory in california talk about this but this is an amazing commablet built by scientists and engineers in california. Daye, ill let you talk about it. Mr. President , this is a great news story in the midst of in pandemic. When we started stay at home about four weeks ago, one of our engineers could not stands the idea of sitting back and doing nothing with the sfremmedsing coronavirus and came up with a design. Very rapidly we built the team, which did a plot of the work reemotelly working from home and in just over four weeks have developed a covid19 ventilator. Its unique in this ways. In j. P. L. We build space craft, not medical products and the innovation and creativity of the men and women, its incredible. So this thing has about 80 parts. A normal i. C. U. Ventilator has an order manage any dude higher than that. These parts are not in the ventilator supply chain. Theyre kind of regular parts so by building these we will not interrupt the supply chain for i. C. U. Ventilators. Most importantly, covid19 patients, their lungs are not compliant so you need High Pressure and this is a highpressure ventilator from day one. We got mount sinai doctors involved. We got the f. D. A. Involved. In just finished a couple of days of testing at mount sinai. President frump howd it do . It did great. President trump how would this compare to a really highquality ventilator . Which is heavily computerized, bety way. The real difference is an i. C. U. Ventilateover, a traditional one that you find in a hospital right now is meant to deal with any kind of situation. This is really targeted for covid19 patients. President trump because of the pressure . Because of the fresh. Its very easy to manufacture so we esub mitt it would f. D. A. Approval and just this morning, j. P. L. Is operated for nasa by cal tech so this morning, cal tech, we went live with a royaltyflee worldwide license and we have, what i hear, hundreds of companies are interested in manufacturing these. They should be very insfensive to infer. I dont want to say what it is but its a wonderful story. President trump thats really great. What do you think it will cost to produce that . I hesitate to stay but i would say guess a factor of 10 less to manufacture. Maybe 3,000, 4,000, Something Like that. President frump very good. Thats fantastic. Glamente the engine fleer. I sure will. Dave van buren is his name. I will do that President Trump thank you. Thank you. President trump ok, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you, sir.

Theyve had larger numbers of positive tests, larger numbers of hospitalizations but weve seen spotty cases throughout virginia, so the question was do we plan on opening up some parts of virginia before others . I have really, as best i can can, tried to be consistent and doing in as the name of virginia is a common wept so our plans to date as of today are to not open up one region before the other.
