Well, good morning, everyone or good afternoon. Its its a great pleasure to welcome Justice Stevens to georgetown law school. This is this is a new tradition that were starting today and it grows out of two programs that weve had in the past few years. So a few years ago Justice Sotomayor spoke to the first year class. And last year Justice Kagan spoke to the graduating class. And so a number of the faculty were thinking what would be a good new tradition would be to have a leading member of the bench and bar come in at the start of the year to talk to our first year students about their career and to offered a vice about legal careers as people start their legal studies. So i can tell you how delighted i am that Justice Stevens is joining us here today. So a round of applause for Justice Stevens. [applause] maybe i should quit while im ahead. [laughter] thank you all very much. [laughter] so just a few housekeeping matters. If you have cell phones, turn them off. Ill wait. And what we
Case in the United States now, as we know it is, why are we having news conferences like this, and why are we also afraid . If theres no chance of an outbreak, what is it about this disease that frightens you and us .

It kills in a high percentage, and it kills quickly. That in and of itself almost intuitively makes people frightened. The other thing that makes people frightened can this happen to me without my even knowing it, without my having any behavioral change at all . Thats the kind of thing that we have to keep over and over again emphasizing. We respect your concern. We understand your concern, but the Evidence Base tells us that that is not going to happen, and we have to say that a lot. We have to say it today
