The answer this telephone conference with leaders from other nations is talking about the ending that most of us envision the discovery of a safe and effective vaccine to protect people around the world but the big question to ask ourselves is that we dont need a telephone conference over this vaccine but with this global conversation about finding i am not sure what his motive but nations around the world like england, german england, germany, so many others are looking for the safe and effective vaccine as we are lookinge for. I have faith and confidence in the men and women in medical research of the United States and production facilities in our country but not so powder pain to believe no one could for the sake of vaccine and if they di did, would be hesitate for a moment to say the United States was to be part of producing that vaccine and receiving the vaccine to the so why would the president decide to boycott the conference . Im sure he has a dozen reasons but there would be serious credible effort to discover a vaccine but remember we are dealing with an effort to rescue our but with the global vaccine effort we should be all in and you probably dont need and then to participate in the telephone conference approaching millions of their own friends perhaps the united arstates but then to be offered publicly this week have been considered of the last several weeks with dramatic investments in unemployment vinsurance and its possible in nature but thats why senator mcconnell but then to come to the floor repeated the to say that he for but now i am honored when it comes to liability lawsuits but then to have what has been said by everyone when it comes to healthcare workers and teachers achieve but with those please and First Responders and firefighters and teachers who have on in unless his redline for liability is honored. He says he refuses to fight but sadly we have an invitation forir irresponsible and those that are threatened by current virus that is not the senate that we want. We should be talking about half but the first parities or the safety of employees and customers when he we deemed protocols to mitigate the spread of the virus, this was a challenge because the guidance provided by the cdc as well as state and local government often conflicted with one another in addition to be paid and difficult to follow. There are many uncertainties including the Public Health guidelines we began to adjust to the pandemic. There is a saying businesses dont have responsibility but accepting that responsibility to create a safe environment for workers and customers. But he says to us, when we you establish the standards . Why do you keep changing the standards . You ever senator mcconnell threatening to derail the next rescue bill for police and firefighters and teachers across america less guaranteed immunity from lawsuits and the number one primary weakness of the Senate Judiciary committee to say they will establish reasonable standards when it comes to conducting business. I think that is a reasonable request. Why are we doing it . Why is an osha establishing Safety Standards . Because i was a college kid spending 12 months working in east st. Louis illinois was tough and dirty and dangerous work and i look to it as an important chapter in my life i saw her will people go to work every day. Literally thousands of those infected by the virus and 85 have died as a result. Are looking for those establish safety and some are doing just that. Summer working with union to find ways to test the workers to bring them back to a job site. But we have a National Standard to look to. And cdc to establish standards across the country to live up to and with other workers would apply that to say we know what social distancing standards are to be used. That we know going into this those standards to live up to those immunity from lawsuits with those standards and then more people have died thats not the approach. And with that conscientious customers to meet those reasonable standards its no wonder there is some uncertainty and center for the Disease Control suggest voluntary standards and suggestions and ignores others there is no clear message to businesses and people across america so this afternoon is important to hear to look for standards he can thereby and to hear was that caravan of lawsuits tells the whole story. Take a look at the lawsuits filed not just the caribbean are trial lawyers that have nothing to do also workers compensation. Senator mcconnell suggestion to overturn the state laws in the workplace and the health is apparent because of the covid 18 virus what that terrible outcome to walkway for decades from every state in the union when it comes to the covid virus to what Speaker Pelosi is proposing. And then to join us in the fight and we will stand by fyou. To establish a reasonable standard of conduct to protect you from lawsuits. We need a standardud of safety. That workers can respect to ebuy the products you know there is a standard of good health establish everyone. Madame president i yield the
