Thank you for joining me for covid19 and a responsible rx supply chain, a look at the prescription chain during a global pandemic. Id like to thank our sponsor the Health Distribution alliance for support of todays program. The pandemic has upended our lives and forced a new normal upon us. While accommodations can be made for our lifestyle choices theres little likability when it comes to our healthcare. When patients for chronic diseases have access to regular medication it isnt a choice and in some cases its amatter of life and death. Both the Healthcare System and patients have changed their behaviors. As a consequence concerns and fears have arisen surrounding drug availability and shortages. What are stakeholders doing to ensure disruptions do not occur and theres collaboration between the public and private sectors and what plans are being put in place for distribution of this corona vaccine once it becomesavailable .

Face masks in public if you are able to, wisconsin was in a pretty good place in the battle against covid19. We have reached most all of our criteria.

Today, we learned of a grim discovery at a new jersey nursing home 17 bodies found in a morgue meant to hold no more than four. Our correspondents have new reporting tonight. And we will begin with Mark Strassmann in atlanta on the economy. Mark . Reporter the longer this economy stays in lockdown with businesses closed, like this restaurant, the more jobs will be lost. And this unprecedented surge in unemployment raises anothe
