Jillian a breakthrough in research in covid19, experts claim it is not mutating quickly meaning a potential vaccine could stop the spread. Rob how close our researchers to a breakthrough . The director of Clinical Research and the division of Infectious Disease, thank you for coming on today. Acute or or a vaccine, where are we right now . A lot of research has been initiated. Weve only known about this virus 10 or 12 weeks and in that time period a substantial amount of investigation has gone on, understand the genetics, variability of the virus, its transmission and to develop countermeasures and all of their research is ongoing. Jillian tell me what this means that we are now hearing that it is not mutating quickly. I assume this is good news . That is an important observation that needs to be confirmed and monitored through time. When you think of an organism infecting people if it changes it is harder for the immune system to control it, harder to develop therapies against it because it is changing. Hiv is a virus which changes so rapidly that it is hard for the immune system to control it. It looks like coronaviruses dont change as rapidly and probably mutate very slowly in clinically relevant ways at least in terms of developing diagnostics to identify it and therapeutics to treat it and that is what it looks like. Rob as we look at companies that are working on a vaccine theres a lot of competition, something everybody wants. Do you think we will get to this vaccine in a time before this thing moves across the entire planet . It is putting fast. I think there are two observations that are needed. Those who get infected, can they get reinfected . Do we develop an immune response that is protective such as for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, or is immunity a little different . Like nora virus or hiv which is not as strong . I suspect the immune response will be protective which means a vaccine can minute that immune response which i think is highly likely and therefore the ability to make a vaccine in the next year or two is quite likely. The question is how quickly will the virus spread, how many will it infect . Jillian lets talk about the cdc report, the virus survived in the princess cruise ship cabin for 17 days on surfaces after passengers left. What do you make of this . To me this is shocking because initially we have been hearing it last on Different Services for just a few days but 17 days changes the game. One needs to carefully look at the observations what they mean. We know individuals who get infected and get better, we can detect nuclear castings, elements of the virus in the respiratory secretions for a month after resolution. Whether or not the virus is infectious it needs to be better determined. We do know this virus can survive in the environment, Research Published a week ago from the nih group showed that it lives in the environment similar to sars one, for a day or two or three with the recoverable virus. Whether or not that is infectious is to be determined. I think the major transmission is persontoperson because we as individuals become infected, amplify it and can infect others. Jillian might be able to live there but might not be able to infect us. Rob thank you for your time, appreciate it. 17 minutes after the hour.

Good to see you, tell me about this decision. Good morning. Across the metroplex, one in the gilbert area, dallasfort worth is ramping up. We wanted to shelter in place, what we are finding, regular families are down to 15 of normal population, we started getting inquiries two weeks ago from First Responders, regular childcare providers temporarily shutdown, children staying with family members who were older, didnt want them at risk, we look at how we could serve that community, staff provide care during this time. Jillian no enrollment fees, no contract requirements, week to week care, one of the first questions that comes to mind is how are you keeping everything sanitized and clean to ensure children are safe . Every School Campus goes through a nightly sanitization process which is pretty typical but on top of that we have extra staff sanitizing things throughout the day, children have their temperature taken when they come in every morning and parents are not allowed in at this point as part of the state guidelines they have their child dropped off at the front door, we take the childs temperature and get everybody settled. Escalation of all our normal policies for sure. Jillian what is the response so far and how many kids are you helping . We Just Launched that and we are getting enrollment and got 200 students still supporting essential workers. Many of those are families we normally serve but we also have children coming in that are the children of hospital workers in the area and law enforcement. Jillian what is the communitys response . Very positive. It is a little bit of a conversation with our staff, they are stressed as well and have children as well but we are asking them to do the things they do every day which is come in, drop their worries at the door, and if we can be present for children, parents of the children to do their job and be present helping the community. Jillian they are on the front line of this, we talk about them every day, First Responders need to do their job and focus because they are saving lives right now. Thank you for joining us.
