I thank Senator Blunt and Senator Murray for their cooperation this month in this series of six hearings that we have had on COVID-19. I think it is very important for the American people to know that while there is a vaccine down the road, the tests are coming, the fast tests, and the treatments are coming. They should be here by the fall. That is what the experts say. It is not what I say; that is what the experts who testified before us say. The experts all said the following: If you want to contain the disease, if you want to go back to school and back to college and back to work and out to eat and maybe even see a little football, stay 6 feet apart, wash your hands, and wear a mask. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Braun). The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
