Now to the race for a vaccine for covid19. It comes amid new guidance about sending kids back to school. Earlier i spoke with dr. Imran ali. Thank you for joining us this morning. New jersey will now require kids to wear a mask in School Buildings even while social distancing. I want to know, what are your thoughts on that . Well, a lot of schools want to open, a lot of parents want their kids to get back to school. And some places are definitely hot spots. For example, mississippi. 1 out of every 5 covid tests are positive, and icu beds are filling up. Governor tate tomorrow is going to talk about schools reopening, and i think masks are going to be a big factor. We know cdc guidelines are people, kids over the age of 2, 2 and above, should wear a mask. And the mask should be wellfitting. I recommend parents not to get the ones that go around the ears because then kids fuss around with them. Theyre either too tight or too loose. Get a nice, colorful, comfortable mask, but it is now im

Weve been counting on these sort of ebbs and flows, which we are going to have no matter what as we start to reemerge into society. There will be increases of the number of people who are infected. But this model suggests the number of people who are dying every day is goes to increase, not decrease. But the important part, as you mentioned as well, is the utility of masks. This is extraordinary. 70,000 lives, as you guys have been saying all morning, could potentially be saved by this. When i was talking to dr. Chris murray, who came up with this model at the university of washington, he and his team, theyre counting on the masks actually decreasing transmission by 40 to get to that number of 70,000 lives. I think theres good data saying that masks can decrease trans
