One Pharmaceutical Company says the phase three trials of its Coronavirus Vaccine appears to be working in monkeys. It comes as another interesting study is released involving teachers in classrooms. I spoke earlier with dr. Alok patel. Lets begin with that new research from the university of minnesota on how teachers can protect students from the virus in the classroom. The researchers say if a teacher stands directly under an air vent, the coronavirus aerosols wont spread nearly as far, and they released a video showing this. What is your take on this research . I think its a pretty elegant way to look at air flow. We know that coronavirus can be aerosolized. That was one concern about reopening of schools.

There were 45 people crammed into a motor coach, and i thought to myself, if i had any money, i would have been in that motor coach having this totally artificial view of european life. Instead, i had no money. Therefore, i was nursing a glass of wine for the entire afternoon, drinking in the life and the people, scenes of europe. And i knew that this was the way to travel. In this time, arthur, americans went from not being tourists to being that brash american tourist who seemed removed from the cultural experience. Now, we seem to have moved in to a place where we want to be more familiar with the environment to help preserve and continue the environment. So we have changed the tourists.
