00:39.887 --> 00:42.053
positivity rates and the number of new

00:42.053 --> 00:44.550
cases both make them still read by the

00:44.550 --> 00:46.830
same standard . And so we're not out of

00:46.830 --> 00:49.150
the woods yet . And along those lines ,

00:49.150 --> 00:51.840
it's really important that we work

towards herd immunity with vaccinations .

need assistance . It's

02:22.670 --> 02:24.892
about her immunity and making sure that

02:24.892 --> 02:27.114
we're all protected until we reach that

02:27.114 --> 02:29.160
peak . We've still got to remain

02:29.160 --> 02:32.130
vigilance , uh , and make sure that we

02:32.140 --> 02:34.770
are getting as many folks vaccinated as

02:34.770 --> 02:38.440
we can along similar lines . We've seen

02:38.440 --> 02:40.590
something different start today on

02:40.590 --> 02:43.410
White Sands , and we haven't seen in ,

02:43.420 --> 02:45.870
uh , the better part of a year , and

02:45.870 --> 02:49.840
that is our kids back in school on

02:49.840 --> 02:52.520
White Sands . This brings new folks new

02:52.520 --> 02:55.560
interactions and another call for

02:55.560 --> 02:57.671
remaining vigilant , making sure that

02:57.671 --> 03:00.510
we're protecting each other as we get

03:00.510 --> 03:02.650
our kids back in school .

03:05.040 --> 03:07.151
I've been asked , How do you make the

03:07.151 --> 03:09.318
decisions and how do you prep for this

03:09.318 --> 03:11.610
video ? Is it just something you do by

03:11.610 --> 03:13.930
yourself and who's involved ? And I

03:13.930 --> 03:16.097
think it's important to share with you

03:16.100 --> 03:19.860
that every week I have a meeting with

03:19.870 --> 03:22.590
the leadership of every organization on

03:22.590 --> 03:25.140
White Sands Missile Range , and that is

03:25.140 --> 03:28.730
to discuss with them . Or we are , uh ,

03:28.740 --> 03:30.560
or we could potentially adjust

03:30.560 --> 03:32.504
mitigation measures , whether it's

03:32.504 --> 03:34.727
making more stringent or less stringent

03:34.727 --> 03:36.838
and understand their concerns , their

03:36.838 --> 03:38.893
posture . And they are your voice in

03:38.893 --> 03:41.500
that meaning that happens every week .

03:41.510 --> 03:44.240
In addition , before every video , I

03:44.240 --> 03:48.120
sit down with , uh , the medical team ,

03:48.130 --> 03:51.150
the Army , the Navy and the Air Force

03:51.160 --> 03:53.327
to make sure that I'm covering what is

03:53.327 --> 03:55.216
important to you , along with the

03:55.216 --> 03:57.327
questions that we've received through

03:57.327 --> 03:59.310
the email , where you can send

03:59.310 --> 04:01.532
questions in which is listed at the end

04:01.532 --> 04:03.699
of this video . And so what I want you

04:03.699 --> 04:06.540
to understand is holistically . We're

04:06.540 --> 04:08.262
trying to make sure that we're

04:08.262 --> 04:10.380
responsive to your concerns , your

04:10.380 --> 04:12.280
questions as well as your

04:12.280 --> 04:15.450
recommendations . If it's covid related

04:15.460 --> 04:17.516
you've got that email to send in the

04:17.516 --> 04:20.480
questions If it's something , uh , for

04:20.480 --> 04:22.647
me personally , because that will come

04:22.647 --> 04:24.869
to the staff for them to work and bring

04:24.869 --> 04:26.813
to me with the answer . But for me

04:26.813 --> 04:28.758
personally , both our internal and

04:28.758 --> 04:31.870
external facing whisper websites have a

04:31.870 --> 04:34.050
contact . The installation commander

04:34.240 --> 04:36.910
Barton . They will send an email to me

04:36.910 --> 04:40.550
directly . If you want feedback from me ,

04:40.560 --> 04:42.890
then I need a way of contacting you ,

04:42.900 --> 04:45.067
Uh , which you need to include in that

04:45.067 --> 04:47.289
note , because that is anonymous unless

04:47.289 --> 04:49.456
you provide your information as far as

04:49.456 --> 04:51.700
that goes . So look , overall , uh ,

04:51.710 --> 04:54.030
we're seeing progress , but it's based

04:54.030 --> 04:57.430
on the vigilance and and making sure

04:57.440 --> 05:00.420
that you're doing the three ws plus t .

05:00.430 --> 05:02.470
Thank you for that . And please

05:02.470 --> 05:05.090
continue to make sure we wash our hands .

05:05.090 --> 05:07.090

05:07.090 --> 05:10.620
masks and Tracy completely fill out
