RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
EZIKE: “Since yesterday we lost an additional 31 lives for a total of 9,418 deaths. These are people who started with us in 2020 and won’t be who us at the Thanksgiving table. To date, we are reporting 3,874 new cases for a total of 36433 confirmed cases since the start of this pandemic. Excuse me, please. Our message to you is to stay strong. I have never run a marathon but I have the utmost regard for those who can train and finish a marathon. But this is a difficult race when you can’t actually see the end point and I’m sorry that that’s the message I have for you. Nevertheless, I’m asking you to fight the fatigue. Fight the usual to give up on social distancing.”
