but then came covid. after rising for much of 2020, the birth rate plummeted in december and january. and one unpublished study suggests that each extra baby born in hungary in 2020 cost the taxpayer $50,000 — money some social policy experts suggest could be better spent. the bulk of that money is spent on better—off families — families who already are either wealthy or they have a stable financial situation, stable incomes. whereas those families who are now in a really bad situation — not only because of covid but that, you know, accelerated processes of unemployment — they simply get nothing. but some couples simply want big families and they are grateful for any support they can get. translation: as we want to have more babies, - we want to have a bigger house. translation: soon after we first met, the subject came _ up of how many children we'd like to have realistically, and we just looked at each other and both said "six!" yeah, there was not much need for debate. the state helped them b

to lower the risk of covid-19 clusters and their programs, to prepare for when someone is sick with covid-19 and to support coping and resilience for staff, children and parents they serve. critically, the updated guidance emphasizes the importance of mask wearing for all children older than two years old and all staff except when eating or sleeping. it also highlights strategies like co-hoarding, or groups of children are kept together with the same peers and staff to reduce the risk of spread throughout the program. the guidance provides recommendations on simple, low-cost cost ventilation strategies, how to adopt the environment with children for disabilities -- with disabilities and special needs and communal spaces of a food service areas and play areas safer. recognizing that guidance can sometimes be complex, we are releasing a suite of complementary resources, infographics, and toolkits to help programs with implementation. we have included quick guides and flowcharts to help you know what to do if the child becomes ill or showing signs of covid-19 while in care. all of these reso

today, we are at war with covid-19. and public-private partnerships like the historic one we are celebrating today are a major reason that last week, i was privileged enough to witness some of the very first residence in our home state of new jersey receiving doses of our vaccines, just 13 months, 13 months after we started the development process. when one of the residents at a senior apartment was asked how she felt after she was given the shot, she looked at me and replied, safe. i couldn't be more proud. in our new collaboration with merck, it's going to allow us to be even more ambitious in our goals of keeping as many people around the world as safe as we possibly can, with our effective, one dose vaccine. so i'm proud, extremely proud to count ken frazier as an active partner as we bring our companies together in new ways on behalf of humanity. we share one common goal among -- above all things and that is advancing public health. please join me in welcoming ken frazier. >> mr. president, i want to begin by thank

but most importantly, covid-19 relief should stay focused on covid-19. there's still about $1 trillion of covid-19 funding that congress previously approved that hasn't even been spent yet. yes. 1 trillion dollars. so why in the world are we g looking at spending yet another $2 trillion of course on things that are not even related to covid? that isn't to say there are needs to cause there are. we know that. all across our country. but instead of bridges and bailouts, the money should be focused on immediate help to get our moms and dads back to work. and to do that we need to do a few things. one, let's safely reopen our schools. let's number to expand access to quality affordable childcare and number three, distribute vaccine as quickly as possible. and while the bill does actually provide some assistance for these purposes , even here the democrats showed how out of touch they are with what's actually happening . on the ground. for example, nearly $16 billion is included for the childcare and development block grants.you would think that's a good thin

covid is going to be around. you have to teach people that this respiratory virus is now going to be part of our normal respiratory viruses that occur every year and that people have to have common sense and it comes to crowded and congregate in places and handwashing. maybe mask wearing until enough people are vaccinated. the other challenge now is to make sure this never happens again. to build the systems in government at all levels, federal, state and local, that are able to respond properly to an infectious disease emergency and have that infrastructure day in and day out, so that when covid-19 receipts from the headlines, all of our public health infrastructure does not reseed -- recede like with ebola. we need to recognize the threat infectious diseases are going to pose in the future. host: what is the biggest need in fighting the coronavirus, both in the united states and around the world? guest: the biggest need is getting more vaccines available and having the infrastructure to put the vaccine in peopl

covid? yes, covid. we had 15 deaths in two weeks. we would normally have maybe five in a year. so, for the team, that is quite hard. are you allergic to anything? i was tested positive for covid—i9. it was a very weird experience when the ambulance took me to my own workplace and my own work colleagues were looking after me. and i had way much more chances to leave the hospital in a body bag rather than on my own feet. my little soldier — cos he's been through the wars. my most challenging moments are in my social life, personal life. yeah. cos at work, you put on that uniform, you have that persona. the fact i've got links with the covid patients, i've kept away from everybody. my husband had to sit and hold me while i cry and worry, and i don't normally do that. i normallyjust come home to my babies and we live our life to the full. i live alone, so it's still just me thinking about work. it's difficult not having the support of my family members, but it's quiet hard to detach and get on with my life just at home before you get back to work and do the same thing again. i

is not covid relief. well, let's just take a look at what was broadly part of the cares act that was supported by every single republican and what is broadly part of the american rescue plan. because my republican colleagues thought that everything in the cares act was covid relief, whether it was designed to immediately attack the health care crisis or whether it was designed to address the economic crisis. there were stimulus checks in the cares act, not as big as the ones in the american rescue plan, but they were covid relief when we passed the cares act. now according to republicans they're not covid relief. there was an unemployment extension and a plus up in the maximum benefit under the cares act. that was covid relief back in march of last year, but now according to republicans, it's not covid relief. there was money for vaccines and for testing in the cares act. in the american rescue plan, money for vaccines, testing. small business relief was of course conceived in the cares act, the p.p.p. pr

as more people get vaccinated, the covid-19 -- as our understanding of covid immunity improves, we look forward to updating these recommendations to the public. i know this is complex and i have covered a lot of ground. i want to recap the main points of our initial guidance. in summary, fully vaccinated people can visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing a mask or physical distancing. unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk of severe covid-19 indoors without wearing masks in physical distancing. and refrain from quarantine and testing following a known covid-19 exposure if the vaccinated person remains asymptomatic. for now, we will continue to examine this in the upcoming weeks and update guidance accordingly. fully vaccinated people should continue to take precautions in public like wearing masks and physical distancing, where well fitted masks and physically distance and engage in other protection measures when visiting with other -- or have an unvaccinated family member, household member who is at increased risk of covid. wear a mask,

covid threatened all that. rather than lock ischgl down, the authorities issued a press release saying the icelandic tourists had probably caught covid on the plane home. i mean, that'sjust total nonsense. my friend was already sick while we were in ischgl, and there is no way that all of us got infected on the flight because we were not all travelling together. an e—mail sent at the time showed that local tyrol politicians hoped the plane theory would be enough to get ischgl "out of the firing line", as they wrote. the recipient of the e—mail subsequently leaked, but not denied, was herbert forster. so, ischgl wasn't shut down, and no warnings were issued to skiers. saturday the 7th of march was changeover day. thousands of tourists were going home, thousands more arriving. perfect conditions for a highly contagious virus to spread. british couple david mills and christine harris were amongst the new arrivals. the place was great, it was buzzing, it was like benidorm on steroids. when we got there we thoug

but the bulk of this bill is either non-covid related or ostensibly covid related but actually either unnecessary or excessive. on the non-covid front there's the $86 billion bailout for multi employer pension plans. the billions for climate change and other environmental policy issues. a new taxpayer-funded l.e.a.d. program for government employees with no requirement that it be used for covid-19. and i could go on, mr. president. the version of the bill that came over from the house contain such a non-covid related measures as $100 million for an underground rail project in the house speakers home state. $1.5 million for a bridge in the democratic leaders home state. plus a massive increase in the federal minimum wage that would cost an estimated 1.4 million jobs according to the congressional budget office, and potentially potentially devastate small businesses already reeling from the effects of the coronavirus. and then there are the ostensibly covid related measures like $350 billion for states. what's the big problem there? states don't need anywhere near that much money to whe
