Its as good as you could hope for. Tests and trials are ongoing, the fda will perform its own review which will include months of safety data. The American People should rest assured there are appropriate and necessary measures to ensure the safety and efficacy of any vaccine before its rollout to the American People. This will proceed with lifesaving urgency that is called for. T right now, its continued to spread across the country at rates that are not sustainable at which we must try to slow. Yesterday, kentucky just walked a total of 2700 new cases. Positivity. Rate is the highest since the early times. Continuing to get us this far, wearing masks, social distancing, adapting our plans and routines. The virus is not going to magically leave us alone. We are fed up with taking precautions.
