The FDA and The CDC clearly believe that people need two doses. And the reason that New York and many other places have been able to move forward with a first dose out to everybody, is because we've been able to show them that more doses are coming and that second doses will be able to be given to people, so given that, we encourage people to go ahead and use up all their doses as first doses.

I think it’s critically important that we keep indoor mask mandates in for a while. We can’t give up on those, not while infection numbers are high.

One is the underlying level of infection is rising, which is obviously the thing we are most concerned about, but in about 18 to 20 states, the number of tests that are being done is actually falling.

That's very concerning because when cases are rising, and your number of tests are falling, that's a recipe for disaster.
