What i meant by its not working is were dealing with Community Spread as a substantial number of people getting infected do not know theyre infected. Theyre not symptomatic. Theyre asymptomatic individuals. The classic paradigm of identification and Contact Tracing is very difficult to make that work under those circumstances. You superimpose upon that the fact that even with identification, isolation and contact trace, often the dots are not connected. If you get on the phone and talk to people who are in some of these communityus find that a lot of it is done by phone. When its done by phone maybe half the people dont want to talk to one who they think is a government representative. If you live in a community thats mostly brown or black youre in a different situation that maybe 70 of them dont really want to talk to you. You can identify a contact but you dont isolate them because you dont have the facility to isolate them. That is whats not working. So what were going to do, and we
Postponed new in depth programs. We are showing highlights from past programs. First from november of 2018, author imani perry, author of several books including a history of the black National Anthem and breeze which is written as a letter to her son. Heres a portion of that program. People here when you see i wonder if people are irredeemable they hear all white people and they hear white people as individuals as opposed to whiteness as an identity so that when i go into the second paragraph, what if we took this identity apart, those people would not have a different history or body, but it would be a different relationship to identity that i think would potentially have as a consequence a more humane relationship to each other. When i went into later in the first paragraph saying a person, an individual can be a heaven, certainly both as someone who was raised by a white man or as someone who thinks of so many figures like, take for example john brown or bob zellner, some of the mo
So that when i go into the second paragraph where im like what if we took this identity apart, those people would not sort of, have a different history or body. But it would be a different relationship to identity. I think as a consequence, we have a more humane relationship to each other. When i got leader into the first paragraph when im saying an individual can be a heaven. Certainly, both someone who was raised by a white man or as someone who thinks of so many figures like, take for example, john brown. Who i think are some of the most precious people in the world. Its important to me to not have a formulation that removes them. So thats what i was thinking. One more question before we move on to some of your other books. Mothering black boys in america is a special calling. Yeah. Its a sentence my mother said to me. I think about it in a number of different ways. People talk about, in some ways that are difficult and maybe not a really hopeful about the challenges that black boys
That and i think its we its now understood that within our lifetimes practically no everybody is going to get their genome sequence i mean with your and my lifetime and already here in britain there are huge programs underway to sequence every kid who comes along and we can then use that information to say what kind of diseases they get as especially the possibility of. Of of really deleterious late life diseases such as all timers and so on which Breast Cancer most obviously which in principle we could intervene and if we knew that they were coming down the road before we get to the disease part you know and correct me from rocks i may not be understanding everything in the way that you wanted to put forward in the book but from what i understand the if there were ability of Genetic Information people with started choose partners based on Genetic Company billeted right. That ok so. You really think that feelings will actually forgo this whole thing of attraction and chemistry and all
Human race manually. Oh. Well. Lets backtrack a little bit so mutants the book it wasnt really about engine us it was mostly about how we had changed actually about all the variety that humans show. When we look at each other some of it good some of it bad i mean and when i say bad i mean medically bad and so what the book is all about was what is all the variety tell us about how we as humans are constructed how the human body is starts out as a single cell in the multiplies into a walking talking copulating thinking creature when i do all the stuff that humans to that Genetic Program and it turns out that what all the ferocity of those mutations. Some of the truck terrible in the way that he flicked us once we identify the genes we can reverse engineer the human body as it were we can discover the program that makes us write thats what the story that that book told. When you us does something a little bit different is about well now that we know so much about how to make a human body
