We are going to move on to our second panel. I am very excited for this actually.

And then as we think about agencies come with three primary agencies. We had the cdc, the fda and the nih, and they all functions very differently duringda the pandem. And so my hope was to spend sometime talk about how the fdas successes, it was not perfect but it did a pretty darn good job, and what we can learn from that thinking about how to fix this cdc and the nih Going Forward and make a a more robt Public Heal
