We shifte weeks where from recovering east coast cities with all of our bias there to the rest of america. It is not a pretty picture. What i find fascinating is axios moments ago features new mexico and oregon, where others are featuring arizona and texas. It is a state they are, a state here. I dont buy the second wave stuff. It just sums up to an expanded pandemic. Jonathan for real it is a moment for real humidity. Not a moment to project for real humility. Not a moment to project confidence. I think it was pretty clear in yesterdays News Conference the fed is not going to do any tightening anytime soon. Tom i sort of blew it yesterday. You know i am not a fan of the dot plot, and i never looked at dots on the bloomberg. It looks like an old line hockey stick from my youth. To 2022. T out and then miraculously, Interest Rates elevate somewhere out there longer term. I dont buy it for a minute. Of a heada bit scratcher for me as well.

Sb Committee Comes to order. Good afternoon. And welcome to our witnesses and audience members. Let me thank you all of you, for coming, and for participating in this subcommittee hearing. Right here. I think were all pretty familiar with this new virtual setting. But because this is our First Virtual hearing of this subcommittee, i want to take a moment to provide members with a few reminders before we begin. We will proceed in the same fashion as this committee always has. We will begin with Opening Statements by the chair and Ranking Member. Followed by testimony from our witnesses, and an opportunity for every member to inquire for five minutes. We will dispense with our practice of the given and instead go in order of seniority for questioning alternating between minority and majority members. Members are advised that the clerk may mute those who are not speaking in order to limit background noise and feedback. However, all members are responsible for unmuting themselves when they
What i meant by its not working is were dealing with Community Spread as a substantial number of people getting infected do not know theyre infected. Theyre not symptomatic. Theyre asymptomatic individuals. The classic paradigm of identification and Contact Tracing is very difficult to make that work under those circumstances. You superimpose upon that the fact that even with identification, isolation and contact trace, often the dots are not connected.

When its done by phone maybe half the people dont want to talk to one who they think is a government representative. If you live in a community thats mostly brown or black youre in a different situation that maybe 70 of them dont really want to talk to you. You can identify a contact but you dont isolate them because you dont have the facility to isolate them. That is whats not working. So what were going to do, and we

As we begin this historic proceeding, i want to underscore that i plan to continue this committees long tradition of collegia collegiality and substantive debate even as we conduct our business from afar. I will continue to work with Ranking Member and his staff to make sure that all Ranking Members are respected in the knew virtual format. Before we turn to todays important topic, i want to remind members of a few procedures to help us all navigate this new platform. First, consi
