Been announcement about pfizer come a couple of weeks earlier, which to be clear, doesnt appear the science would have allowed, im sure we would be talking about a different political landscape. Even with that bad timing.

Save the lives of one of your childrens teachers, maybe it saves your life. Please, i implore you, wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement. It is a good way to start pulling the country together. I want to be very clear. The goal of mask wearing is not to make your life less comfortable. It is to take or take something away from you. It is to give Something Back to all of us. A normal life. The goal is to get back to normal as fast as possible. Masks are critical in doing that. It will not be forever.

Christine lagarde, president of the ecb, moderated by Francine Lacqua. Francine what a great pleasure to be here with Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central bank, and welcome to the forum here at bloomberg. Everyone is talking about the vaccine. How will that actually change your forecast and the economy if we do get a vaccine early next year . Ms. Lagarde it is lovely to see you and to participate. To your question, i am not sure it is going to be a major game changer for our forecast, simply because what we had anticipated in our baseline was that some stage in the first half of 2021, there would be a vaccine, and that it would be rolled out in the course of 2021.
