Essential work places. Im sorry, senator, you broke up at the beginning of your question. If you could just say it again. Im sorry. Yes, dr. Redfield, do you think that the testing protocols currently in place in the white house present a model for other essential work places. Well, thank you for the question. I think one of the important things you bring up is the essential worker guidance the cdc put out and i think it was originally modeled on Health Care Workers where there was significant shortages. Im asking if you think the white house protocol testing are a model for other essential work places. I would say i think each work place has to define their own approach how to operationalize.

Nostalgia for obama during this era of trump, especially when you compare that speech from the fourth of july five years ago to what we heard yesterday on the white house lawn. American heroes defeated the nazis, dethroned the fascists, toppled the communists, saved american values, upheld american principles and chased down the terrorists to the very ends of the earth. We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the marksist marxists, the agitators, the looters, the anarchists, and people who in many instances have absolutely no clue what theyre doing.
