>> TT'H’S RIGHT. DOCTOR DAVID DAUSEY IS THE PROVOST AT DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY AND HAS BEEN FOR FOUR YES.AR IF YOU LOOK AT HIS RESUME YOU SEE DECADES OF WORK IN 20 COUNTRIES TO STOP E THSPREAD OF INCTFEIOUS DISEAS.SE AFTER GRADUATE WORK AT YALE AND HARVARD TO STUDY INFECTIOUS DISEASE DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY PROVOST DOCTOR DAVID DAUSEY WORKED AT THE RAND CORPORAONTI PREPARING GOVERNMENTS FOR A PANDEMIC JUST LIKE CORONAVIRUS. HE SAYS HE’S NOT SURPRISED IT HAPPEN.ED >> WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, I THINK YES. WILL IT HAPPEN SOONER THAN ANOTHER 100 YEARS? BEI LIEVE YES, BECAUSEF O GLOBALIZATION OF TRADE AND TRAVEL AND SO MANY FACTORS WHAT WE CAN DO IN ADVANCE IS TO BE MORE PREPARED. >> THE WORLD’S BIGGEST FAILURE HE SAYS WAS COMMUNICATING A SINGULAR MESSAGE ABOUT HOW TO EVPRENT THE SPRE.AD AND HE SAYS VACCINATION PROGRESS SHOULD HAVE GONE EVEN FASTER THAN THEY DID. >> WE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD DSKI GO TO SCHOOL WITHOUT ACCESS TO A VACCINE. COULD WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO EXPEDITE THAT SO THOSE KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN VACCINATED TSHI SUMMER IN ADVANCE OF THAT SCHOOL YEAR I BELIEVE YES, BUT THAT DIDN’T HAPP.EN >> DOCTOR DAUSEY BELIEVES IN MORE VACCINE MANDATES FOR COVID-19 JUST LI WKEE HAVE THEM FOR HEOTR SUPER CONTAGIOUS DISEAS.ES >> MEASLES ALONE COULD BE SHUTTING DOWN BUSINESSES AND DOING THINGS LIKE COVID IS. THAT’S WHY WE MADE THE MANDATES FOR MEASLES. WE NEED A SIMILAR MANDATE FOR COD.VI >> HE SAYS WE HAVE THE POWER TO END THE VIRUS QUKLICY. >> IF WE HAD 90% VACCINE IN THE POPULATION, YOU WOULD SEE THE DISEASE HALTED IN ITS TRACKS AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. >> AS PROVOST HE SAYS HE’S PROUD OF HOW DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HAVE ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE OF WEARING MASKS AND THAT CASE COUNTS ON CAMPUS WERE LOW LAST SCHOOL YEAR. >> HOW WE FARE THIS FALL WITH A DISEASE THAT IS MORE CONTAGIOUS WITH A LARGELY VACCINATED POPULATION, IS AN OPEN QUESTION, BUT THE THING THAT GIVES ME COMFORT IS WE KNOW THAT IF YOU ARE VACCINATED, YOU ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO GET SEVERE DISSEEA OR HAVE A SEVERE COMPLICATION. >> AS FOR VACCINATIOAPN PROVAL FOR CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN AGE 12 HE EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN SOMETIME THIS FALL. AND THE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR ANY VACCINE FOR CHILDREN REQUIRES MULTIPLE LAYERS OF CAUTION.
