Great shape. And theyre really in great shape to open. And i think youll have quite a few states opening soon, and theyre going to be very vigilant. Theyre going to be very careful. Sorry. Public Health Experts have said this would be better done if there were comprehensive surveillance testing, which were obviously not in the position to do. I wonder if maybe dr. Birx or dr. Fauci sure, we can do that. Dr. Fauci and i will do it together. Its why i wanted to put up the syndromic and influenzalike illness piece. Because what is key in this is the early alerts, and getting in there before they even know they have a problem. And i think cdc has been remarkable in building these platforms. Dr. Redfield integrated them, so theyre all on the same website. If you look at covid19, go into cases, you can find all of the data. And the the beauty of it is the states are used to utilizing that through flu season. So the testing and contact tracing, and dr. Redfield will be putting people in every
Supply chain capacity and projection of shortages . Thank you for that question and statements, senator murray. Yes, as i stated, we continue to have a work in progress as we build the testing capacity. We have established the targets with the states of over 12 million tests over the next four weeks. We think those targets are going to be good in may and june, but as dr. Fauci said, we really have to be evidence based. We expect those targets to go up as we progressively open, as communities go through phase 1 and then into phase 2, and certainly those numbers will need to go up significantly again in the fall when we potentially have influenza circulating with covid. So, yes, there will be targets. The targets will need to change based on the evidence that we see, but we are highly committed to securing the supply chain. We work daily with every manufacturer, and im just pleased were, in may and june, able to get ahead of the states so that we can supply them what they need so they ha

Disagree. Burning the flag is a form of expression. Speech just doesnt mean written words or oral words. Burning a flag is a symbol that expresses an idea. Okay. Now to the important stuff. Tom price, a congressman and surgeon, is trumps pick for secretary of health and Human Services. Price despises obamacare. Sarah murray is tracking all of this. She joins me live from washington. Hi, sarah. Reporter good morning, carol. So much to chew on this morning. I want to go back to that flag tweet for one second because it is worth noting that other politicians in the past have proposed banning flag burning. In fact, Hillary Clinton when she was in the senate actually did back a law that would have done this, but these efforts for the most part dont really go anywhere, in part because the constitution under the First Amendment does protect peoples right to burn the flag. That is what the Supreme Court decided even if people disagree with that notion and weve even seen members of congress com
