00:27.573 --> 00:29.684
And this is a This is a sense of hope

00:29.684 --> 00:33.050
and given through the dedication of our

00:33.060 --> 00:35.282
pathologist and the other sciences that

01:04.023 --> 01:05.801
kinda right away and your first

01:05.801 --> 01:07.912
response with that . It's been such a

01:07.912 --> 01:10.079
struggle for everybody . Uh , here you

01:10.079 --> 01:12.246
have Fort McCoy over the last year can

01:12.246 --> 01:14.468
explain a little more . It's just , you

01:14.468 --> 01:14.180
know , it's it's it's difficult . It's

01:14.190 --> 01:16.357
it's taking people out of the comforts

01:16.357 --> 01:18.523
of people are used . Thio going into a

01:18.523 --> 01:20.634
store , not wearing a mask . No , not

01:20.634 --> 01:22.857
washing their hands or sanitizing their

01:22.857 --> 01:25.023
hands . Uh , but we have had Here is a

01:25.023 --> 01:27.246
culture has a national national culture

01:27.246 --> 01:29.301
realize that way have to think about

01:29.301 --> 01:31.610
other people you know , not just number

01:31.610 --> 01:34.040
one . It is very important to remember

01:34.040 --> 01:37.320
that you have a community

01:37.320 --> 01:39.487
responsibility as well . That's why we

01:39.487 --> 01:41.376
put these mass on , not really to

01:41.376 --> 01:43.376
protect ourselves , but to show the

01:43.376 --> 01:45.487
protection for other people that were

01:45.487 --> 01:47.598
in a mask . You are showing I respect

01:47.598 --> 01:49.370
you . That's very important .

01:51.740 --> 01:55.520
You have a a kind of a special

01:55.530 --> 01:58.110
duty for yourself . Is that and what is

01:58.110 --> 02:00.332
that in your possession ? You kind of a

02:00.332 --> 02:02.499
special duty that you dio major of the

02:02.499 --> 02:04.554
garrison ? One of the polls have its

02:04.554 --> 02:06.777
safety public safety . In a sense , I'm

02:06.777 --> 02:08.832
not a public safe he specialist . We

02:08.832 --> 02:10.999
have a safety office for that . But my

02:10.999 --> 02:13.221
focus is the safety of this community .

02:13.221 --> 02:15.443
And make sure that things from speeding

02:15.443 --> 02:18.210
but also with virus , is to make sure

02:18.210 --> 02:19.950
that soldiers today is on this

02:19.950 --> 02:22.770
installation you know are doing the

02:22.770 --> 02:24.659
right thing . We're following our

02:24.659 --> 02:28.320
policies 37 38 to make sure that they

02:28.320 --> 02:31.470
are adhering to those policies were

02:31.470 --> 02:33.470
protecting the entire community and

02:33.470 --> 02:35.692
also encouraging them that when they go

02:35.692 --> 02:37.859
off the installation to maintain their

02:37.859 --> 02:39.803
readiness . Health readiness going

02:39.803 --> 02:41.859
WalMart It's a choice to wear a mask

02:41.859 --> 02:41.840
there , but you should wear a mask

02:41.840 --> 02:43.673
anyway , because we're brilliant

02:43.920 --> 02:47.170
maintaining a very strong health . I'm

02:47.170 --> 02:50.530
staying healthy . Mhm . And ,

02:50.540 --> 02:53.140
uh , when you when you repeatedly

02:53.150 --> 02:55.317
address these health and safety , um ,

02:55.317 --> 02:57.317
tips does that second tiring ? That

02:57.317 --> 02:59.372
could exhausting for me . Absolutely

02:59.372 --> 03:01.483
not . Now this is the human condition

03:01.483 --> 03:03.539
way all have to do . This is a human

03:03.539 --> 03:06.460
being on . The main thing is that you

03:06.460 --> 03:08.738
know , it's to me . It's not stressful .

03:08.738 --> 03:10.904
I wake up every day . This is my first

03:10.904 --> 03:13.110
priority every single morning after

03:13.110 --> 03:16.780
doing PTO , yeah ,

03:16.790 --> 03:19.510
carry heavy responsibility . But what

03:19.510 --> 03:22.950
does it look like with do people seem

03:22.950 --> 03:25.117
to be following the guidelines so They

03:25.117 --> 03:27.394
seem to be listening to the guidelines .

03:27.394 --> 03:27.090
From what you've seen , from what

03:27.090 --> 03:29.034
you've seen , people are following

03:29.034 --> 03:31.201
guideline , uh , you know , but well ,

03:31.201 --> 03:33.980
let's be realistic way our human way

03:33.980 --> 03:36.202
have you get fatigued ? But the hope is

03:36.202 --> 03:38.520
that the vaccines here now are multiple

03:38.520 --> 03:40.890
vaccines . And again , people just need

03:40.890 --> 03:43.550
to have confidence that it will get us

03:43.550 --> 03:46.510
back on as a nation . I'll say on a

03:46.510 --> 03:50.160
path that we need to be on , that is e

03:50.160 --> 03:52.160
think we could learn a lot from the

03:52.160 --> 03:54.327
vaccine from the start . You can learn

03:54.327 --> 03:56.493
a lot that people just understand that

03:56.493 --> 03:58.549
way . Struggled way came out of this

03:58.549 --> 04:00.716
together . Awesome . Um , yeah . And ,

04:00.716 --> 04:03.350
uh , Commander pasta , uh , said

04:03.350 --> 04:06.020
earlier that , uh , cold cases have

04:06.030 --> 04:07.808
been very low ever since then .

04:07.808 --> 04:10.030
Demonstrated that something Good news .

04:10.030 --> 04:12.030
Um , eyes . Anything else missing ?

04:12.030 --> 04:14.340
Okay , E
