But what we see at this time is that these states start at eventual level, We now see South-East Georgia, South Caroline, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Illinois - It all started to take off.

"Now, remember that we still have 90 million Americans in this country that could be vaccinated that are not, and it serves as a source of infecting our children. Less than 12 years can not be vaccinated. And so we need to do more and I would also like to emphasize the other thing that helps you understand that the infectious dose of this virus is the fact that we now see more and more existence with the Outside air.
