Thank you for joining us today. Were here with governor larry hogan of maryland to talk about the challenges weve faced as a country, grappling with the covid pandemic and some things that maryland has done to deal with their epidemic of covid spread. This is a time with the Intelligence Committee long warning us of the risk and put it on par with weapons of mass destruction and counterterrorism and cyber attack. As much as we thought we were prepared as a nation, we found going through this episode at that we really didnt have all the preparations that we thought we had. And weve been unable to find as a nation a medium between allowing this virus to spread in a way thats causing a lot of death and suffering, and strict lockdown, something thats acceptable to enough people that we can implement some kind of an approach that enough people find socially and culturally and economically acceptable. So were continuing to see spread around the nation particularly in the south right now. Mar
