questions. the first one being, if you re getting together with friends or family, what should you do? when do you test? yeah. good morning, erica. so if you re getting together with friends and family, testing is really about getting those rapid tests and doing it immediately before actually getting together. the day before doesn t really work with the rate at which this virus goes from nondetectable to detectable and infectious. so testing immediately before if you can get your hands on rapid tests, the day before if you can only do pcr, and turning them around in 24 hours. what if you re getting together with people who are not vaccinated? let s talk about children under 5 who aren t eligible for a vaccine. should you change the way you interact even if you are boosted and vaccinated? people have had the chance to decide what you re going to do, are you getting vaccinated, not getting vaccinated, boosted or
formerly with the fbi, said like you looking for things that have been buried to become nondetectable. request last thought before we go to that news conference? they were looking specifically for a box spring and mattress. the neighbors had said that they had seen this individual, the person of interest, burning stuff out there. we are going to learn a lot more about what the s.w.a.t. team did, making this arrest. on what it was based upon at this news conference. harris: it s interesting to see that. we ve got a picture of that mattress on the screen, police put that out on the 20 page. i caught that yesterday afternoon. so you are saying some of these items may not have even left the premises, even though they were asked to be picked up. we don t really know. what is key thing that you would want to know first at this news conference? because reporters will ask the question. because of the first thing i want to know is how they were able to track mackenzie to a specific location

we re there, and she s there because we don t have any detection whatsoever. i ve seen the tests and the tests are ten parts per billion. and that s nontraceable, nondetectable. there are some areas of the affected arias, all the schools have been tested. but we need to continue to test those schools and flush them out until it is nondetectable and make sure the people see it and believe it. that s the hard thing we have right now is communications. no one understands what s being said, who to believe and not to believe, and after four weeks we ve lost all confidence. senator, i want to talk about what we re doing to make sure this doesn t happen again. the century tofoundation was talking act west virginia culture in and around regulation. it makes the point this is the state that sued the epa and issues a friends of coal license plates, official west virginia tags, and that culturally west virginian s hate the kind of regulation that would have prevented this thing in the
