We are talking about Health Care Workers here that particularly in the situation in dallas who were willing to step up to the plate and assume some risk to themselves in order to care for a victim of this terrible disease. That is a decision that demonstrates a lot of character and is consistent with the kind of spirit that makes the citizens of this country so roud of. I think today is a day for us to be reminded, particularly with the emergence of this video, the First Healthcare worker, who was transported to nih read this is a woman who assumed significantly personal risk, more risk than she thought, not because she thought it would get her fame, because she thought it would give her a raise, she did this because it was her job and she is passionate about her job in caring for someone who is sick, someone who she did not even know.

Ill be signing something in a little while that will do that and the people in this room want to do that. Theyre working on various pieces of legislation to get it done.

It adds a new dimension to this crisis. President trump has been defiant in the midst of all of this. Eli stokols of the l. A. Times is standing by to join us with more on this. Bu
