The hearing will come to order. Good morning. Im pleased to convene on the transportation subcommittee and safety. Then at the beginning of the pandemic over 280,000 of our Family Members, friends and fellow citizens have died from covid19 and in some cases with severe symptoms and potential longterm impacts. Even more felt the Economic Impact through losing a job, facing shorter work hours or being forced to close businesses all of us have adjusted to what we call a new normal which has kept us apart from the family, friends and colleagues. Its kept us from celebrating holidays together engaging in our past times and enjoying each Others Company in person. So when we heard vaccines may soon be available, we could be both impressed with the science and hard work that went into developing them and we may be near the beginning of the end. We must remember that until vaccines are widely available, people are vaccinated we need to continue to wear masks, social distance and wash our hands.
