And physical distancing, avoiding bars, avoiding crowds, and wash your hands. Instead of underlining this information today, President Trump has been spending his time defending what most americans think has been a poor response to the pandemic. The president tweeting nonsense that, quote, if we have no testing or bad testing, we would show very few cases, which is kind of like saying no pregnancy tests would mean no one is pregnant, which is obviously not the case to say nothing of the fact that with less than 5 of the worlds population the United States according to official numbers has more than 20 of the worlds coronavirus deaths. Its a tragedy compounded by a government response that has been and remains inadequate. A bit of encouraging news on the vaccine front today, however.

I was wondering if you could say a few words about what sorts of conversations youve had with clinicians or policymakers in terms of talking about, you know, ideas of bias or and, you know, how you bring the language of cultural constructivism into those kinds of conversations. Thats difficult, to to say the least. I havent had as many of those conversations as i would have liked. Most of my conversations have actually been with scientists at the National Human Genome Research institute. And those one in particular launch, brody, thinks that this is a problem with how the information gets translated into actual medical settings and Public Health settings.

Many of the sts disciplines, sts plus disciplines go to further elaborating how countries, wto commitments are to be implemented. So for example, regulations be based on science, it describes how that science should be applied or what kind of relevant science and art to apply and how that should be discussed. Those underlying commitments, those underlying commitments to apply sides are subject to wto dispute resolution. Right. And the process is laid out in the wto agreement, not in the agreement that is being negotiated here .
