Yet this camp is already way past capacity. And then throw coronavirus into the explosive mix, pushing migran to flee suffering economies, reawakening the old tensions in italian society. In squalid conditions, migrants here say they know of several cases in side. There is pressure to clear the camp and reduce the burden on this gateway teurope.

Dr. Fauci says College Students who are infected and on these camp this, do not send them home. The worst thing you can do is to send all of these infected College Student on campus back there homes across the entry and the world. It is a very risky proposition. Laura we will get to the vaccine in a minute. An influential model that is closely followed by the white house is addicting that 410,000 could die from coronavirus by the end of the year. I dont think it assumes 1900 deaths every day until the end of the year. That is just a little bit too much. I think it will hit a quarter of a million. Ortheseasting models are really hard to predict. They do not know what they are going to do about public terventions. Some of the early estimates have been misused. That isot how you should interpret those. Many scientist like me are skeptical about that. Laura the president eeps saying there will be good news very soon. The cdc says a vaccine could be ready for distribution by november 1, although the chi vaccineti scis says that is possible but unlikely. It is very confusing to the public. That is conveniently right before election day. The is a lot of concern that the vaccine is being politicized. We should wait for the phase two trial to come late. Even if it exceeds the 50 threshold, there is wide uncertainty. As far as the safety and efficacy. Rushing it will only create more uncertainty. That will hurt us. Laura very briefly, any hopes that the rapid saliva test could help get kids back into the classroom . I hope so. But i think they need to appe. Ve more of th weould do it and identify people earlier and isolate them faster. That m will e eful than a pcr test. Laura thank you so much for joining us.
