But the preliminary data that we've seen... still indicates to me, a degree that I can have a certain amount of cautious optimism -- namely, it's inducing a response in individuals to a level that would predict that there's a good chance that it might protect.

You're not pulling back on your vigilance, and making sure you don't have resurgence of cases that would put you back, rather than stay where you are and going forward.

It's not rocket science, if we all did (both) uniformly, I believe that we could turn things around.

In many respects, unfortunately, though this may sound a little scary and harsh, I don't mean it to be that way, is that you're going to be actually part of the experiment of the learning curve of what we need to know, we don't have the total database of knowing what there is to expect.

I do not believe that there will be vaccines so far ahead of us that we will have to depend on other countries to get us vaccines.

I was talking to a group of teachers in a fireside chat and one of the teachers asked,' Can the virus enter through the eye ?' because some of the teachers were seeing people on television and wanted to wear eye shields.

I don't think it's dreaming, Congresswoman, i believe it is the reality.

We certainly need people to be rational about vaccines. They eradicated smallpox, they saved millions and millions of lives, they are very complex to design, and that's why, you know, saying it's being done at Warp Speed is a little scary, because you really need to do the safety checks very, very carefully.

I believe it will occur.

I just want to use my last couple of seconds to urge anyone who's listening who wants to participate to please go to that website and register so that you can be part of the solution of this terrible scourge.

We don't know the full impact, we don't have the total database of knowing what there is to expect.

We would hope that( states) all now rethink at what happens when you don't adhere to that.

There are 89 sites distributed throughout the country, they are widely distributed as a matter of fact in areas where there is clearly as of right now active infection going on.

I think as we get into 2021, several months in, that you would have( a) vaccine that would be widely available to people in the United States.

If we could vaccinate the overwhelming majority of the population, we could start talking about real normality again, but it is going to be a gradual process.

I'm a little skeptical about that, but, you know, anything is possible.

I'm not even sure we're halfway through. I mean, obviously, if you want to do a score, I don't want to get too cute about it, but certainly we are not winning the game right now, we are not leading it.

I consider myself more a realist than an alarmist.

It was only when the world realized how the gay community responded to this outbreak with incredible courage and dignity and strength and activism -- I think that really changed some of the stigma against the gay community, i see a similarity here because health disparities have always existed for the African American community.

We don't know the extent of full recovery or partial recovery, so there's a lot we need to learn.

That's a recipe for getting into trouble.
