But will be saving massive amounts of time. We will be saving years. Reporter distribution will be organized by the u. S. Military, a logistical challenge that may prioritize areas worst hit by the pandemic.

Anchor the potential for a vaccine would be a game changer in the fight against covid19. Many medical experts say st will etime before we have one. Joining me to discuss that and other developments is dr. Jeremy faust from harvard medical school. Hes also an emergency physician at bremen womens hospital. Tthan for bnguseih my first question is listening to President Trump,nk do you t its possible to have a safe and effective vaccine by the end of the year . I dont think anybody knows that. I think it would be a historic achievement. We certainly agree we want it to be ready as soon as those things are psible. Thiss a little bit like a race with hurdles. The faster you go, you might get tripped up. We need to balance the needs of speed and not getting tripped up and falling flat and being setback. Anchor there must be a number ofta oes that can still come up. Ranteeay it is no g the may even be a vaccine. Of course we dont know, an we wont until we really see the proof in the pudding and people not geing sick anymore. Vaccine science is something we have gotten a lot better aas a society the past 100 years. I think it is reasonable to hope that something will work to some level. The question isfehen and how ive. Those are the big question marks. I think we are starting to see good signs. So quickly that mi arey, but not made. Anchor in the meantime, we see that most states are easing rest are you comfortable with t place . The u. S. Has in do you think more guidance should have been put othe cdc . At the moment, we have not reached the Testing Capacity that we need in order to know whats really hapning. Early on, we were having such a rapid growth in cases that you kn it was growing. Now with the shelterinplace and shut down, we have slowed the spread, but because of reporting lag, for a week or o, it looks like the cases are coming down, that when we get th complete information a couple of weeks later, it actually is stable, maybe went up. So people are dancing in the end zone and celebrating the victy, even though when you look back ar weeko later and see the data is corrected, we are still flat, we have not lowered the casoads in many places. People incorrectly assuming that can be dangerous. Anchor h w that in mind, because memorial day is coming up, beaches are opening, restaurants are starting to open, where is it safe to go foe people whourious about at . We are all getting sick and tired of being in one place. There should be some relaxing that is safe. I think if you are too strict, people will igno everything. For example, i heard a story of somee not being able to visit the grave of someone who died a year before. Graveyards and cemeteries are not places where people are going to get the disease, even funerals we can do properly with good distancing. Need to find the places we can do safely and open those. And a little bit of stress of this situation wl be diffused by that. Im worried if we dont find placeshat are safe like that, then people will throw it away and congregate in Public Places wherthe risk is high. Anchor i just wanted to ask, the cdc is requesting that lhealth care professiona them know about cases of this mystery illness are finding in children that can be linked to covid19. What should parents be looking out for who are concerned . Thi is it sounds like a disease weave seen before. It is exceedingly rare. The most important thing is parents look out for any signs of coronavirus. Not necessarily any signs of a kawasaki like disease. It is so rare, other way around when we see a little bit of an increase in these rare casme, it means ing to us as doctors. It is still a needle in a symptoms. Does the child have in the valens a influenza like illness that can be coronavirus . It is so rare that these complications, if ronavirus is caing it, it is not the thing parents e watchingor, they should watch for the virus, in general. Relief to many parents. Thank you very much.
