>> > > THANKS SO MUCH. IT'' S BEEN 2 YEARS. EXACTLY. 2 YEARS CONSIDERING THAT THE WORLD HEALTH COMPANY PROCLAIMED COVID-19 An INTERNATIONAL PANDEMIC PROMPTLY. THE WORLD CAME TO A HALT AS LEADERS COMPETE TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS OVER 6 MILLION INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE WORLD LOST THEIR LIVES AND ALSO ANOTHER 453 MILLION HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH THE INFECTION. MOST OF THEM STILL ENDURING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. THESE YEARS LATER SUPPORTERS IN THE U.S. ARE CURRENTLY CALLING FOR A DAY OF MEMORIAL TO KEEP IN MIND THOSE. >> > > WHO PASSED AWAY AS A RESULT OF COVID AND ALSO THE HOUSEHOLDS, OF PROGRAM, WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME. THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT OUR CONTINUED FIGHT AGAINST THE VIRUS.
>> > > THE INFECTIONS PROCEEDS TO AND WE REMAIN TO FACE MAJOR OBSTACLES IN DISTRIBUTING VACCINES AND TREATMENTS ALMOST EVERYWHERE THAT NEED TO LOCATE THAT HE IS FROM OVER. AS WELL AS IT WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE ALL THAT ANYWHERE UP UNTIL IT'' S OVER. >> EVERY PERSON. > > THERE IS HOPE COMING UP CASES AS WELL AS HOSPITALIZATION RATES ARE DROPPING IN THE U.S. PROMPTING LOTS STATES TO RE EVALUATE THEIR COVID PROTOCOLS GOING DOWN MANDATES THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE BECAUSE 2020 NBC INFORMATION MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR DOCTOR NATALIE AZAR JOINS United States NOW TO REFLECT ON THESE LAST 2 YEARS. GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH United States. ANY REMIND US HOW FAR WE'' VE COME IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. JUST HOW MUCH WE'' VE LEARNED. >> > > AND ALSO ALSO HOW MUCH WE'' VE LOST. YOU UNDERSTAND, I ASSUME YOU CANISTER CATEGORIZE IT 2 MEANS. YOU MEN. I THINK THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE DID REALLY WELL AS WELL AS THERE THINGS THAT WE CLEARLY SCREWED UP ON, YOU UNDERSTAND, PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS IS IS HE COMPOSED OF A GREAT DEAL OF VARIOUS ELEMENTS, EPIDEMIOLOGY THERAPEUTICS PREVENTION.YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE WE
DID A TERRIFIC WORK MOBILIZING THE CLINICAL GLOBE NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT. THE COOPERATION BETWEEN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALSO MARKET PROCEDURE WARP SPEED. THOSE ARE ALL WONDERFUL THINGS THINGS IN WHICH WE CLEARLY HAD ACTUALLY SHORTAGES REVEALED THE SHORTAGES IN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH FACILITIES MESSAGING WAS AN ISSUE. EQUITY HAS BEEN A BIG CONCERN AND I ASSUME WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT NOW. HIS FINANCING RIGHT. WE HAD A 22 BILLION BUCK ASK FROM CONGRESS. WE HAD 15 BILLION DOLLARS STRIPPED FROM THE NEXT BUNDLE. YOU RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY ' RE ANTICIPATING IN ONE MONTH ' S TIME. WE ' RE GOING TO HAVE AN ADEQUATE CASH FOR SCREENING BY MAY FOR MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES EVEN MORE THAN THAT FOR PAXLOVID THE ANTIVIRALS, THE FINANCING THAT THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IS DOCTOR TADROS CLAIMED IT ' S NOT OVER ANYWHERE UNTIL IT ' S OVER EVERYWHERE.ONLY 14%OF FOLKS IN LOW INCOME COUNTRIES HAVE HAD ONE DOSAGES OF VACCINE. SO WHILE'WE ' VE MADE TERRIFIC STRIDES HERE IN THE U.S. SKIES. IT INTERNATIONALLY. WE ARE. THIS IS NOT BEHIND US YET. IT ' S NOT DEFINITELY. LET ' S TALK ABOUT TURNING POINTS. CERTAINLY, THE INJECTION. WHAT STICKS OUT TO YOU WHEN YOU RECALL AT THIS YEAR ' S OH, MY BENEFITS. I WOULD SAY THE VACCINATION, RIGHT. I IMPLY, AND AS WELL AS ALL THE CREDIT REPORT GOES TO TO THE PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT FOR PROCEDURE TERMINAL VELOCITY IN THE CREDIT SCORES GOES TO THIS ADMINISTRATION FOR FOR FOR HAVING THE ABILITY TO DEPLOY INOCULATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY.BUT AS AS I DISCUSSED AND AS ALL OF US KNOW, THERE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE HINDRANCES TO GETTING WHAT WE HAVE THE MAJORITY OF OUR POPULACE VACCINATED BUT STILL POPULATIONS A CONSIDERABLE PERCENT THAT HAVE NOT BEEN VACCINATED. YOU RECOGNIZE, I LIKE I I ALWAYS SAY WE SIMPLY TINNED ' T CONSIDER THIS PANDEMIC FROM, YOU RECOGNIZE, FROM SIMPLY THE THE UNITED STATES. I FROM THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE ' S I THIS IS A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC. THEREFORE, YOU KNOW, WE REALLY HAVE TO MAINTAIN OUR EYES WIDE OPEN MOVING'FORWARD ALSO THOUGH IT LOOKS GREAT RIGHT HERE LOOKS TERRIFIC IN NEW YORK CITY CITY WHERE WE ' RE RESTING TOGETHER WERE NOT USING MASKS.AND I REALLY HOPE THAT BUT YOU RECOGNIZE, THE INFECTION IS TRICKY IT STRUCK SIMPLY'PRIOR TO AN OMICRON US HOW QUICKLY THINGS CANISTER CHANGE
AND ACTUALLY WRAPPED LIBERALLY FROM A WEEK TO THAT AS WELL AS WE WEREN ' T READY. SO KEEPING THAT, I ASK YOU, WHAT DO YOU ASSUME IS NEXT FOR COVID AS WELL AS. > > ARE WE PREPARED IF SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS OCCURS ONCE MORE. DID WE LEARN A LESSON IN THESE LAST 2 WARMER. THAT ' S THE THING, WHICH IS WHY THE FINANCING CONCERN IS SO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE LOOKING AT WITH WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN AND ALSO IT ' S SHOCKING TO ME THAT ANYBODY IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD ASSUME THAT WE HAVE IT ALL BEHIND United States. GIVEN WHAT ' S HAPPENED YOU KNOW,'APPEARANCE, I I ' M I ' M VERY MOTIVATED THAT THE VACCINATIONS WE HAVE ARE STILL HOLDING UP AND ALSO ARE STILL EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE BRAND-NEW VARIATIONS THAT TRANQUILITY. BUT, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, LIKE WE ' VE SAID BEFORE, IT ' S A TRICKY INFECTION. I WISH IT DOESN ' T THROW WAS A WHOLE LOT OF NEW CURVE.I THINK THE UNITED STATES AS WELL AS PARTICULAR LOCATIONS OF EUROPE ARE HEADED AS WELL AS ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS. > > BUT WE JUST CAN '
T STRIP EVERYTHING AWAY, INCLUDING MONEY ALL AT ONCE. I THINK WE ' RE REALLY GOING WHERE WE ' RE GOING TO >> SURPRISE OURSELVES IN AN UNFORTUNATE MEANS IN A NUMBER OF WEEKS TO MONTHS. IF'THAT ' S THE CASE, LET ' S HOPE THAT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. AND ALSO THANKS SO MUCH. I SUGGEST, WHAT AN WHAT A TURNING POINT FOR United States ALL TO LESS 2 YEARS LATER ON, A WHOLE LOT OF United States ARE SHOWING ON WHERE WE WERE 2 YEARS BACK YOU KEEP IN MIND BEING THE ALTERING FACTOR FOR YOU NBA NUMBER VIEWING THAT GAME AS WELL AS GOING UP A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY DO. ALL RIGHT. DOCTOR IS OUR THANK YOU A LOT.
