I thanked a lot of people yesterday, I would like to start my remarks today by thanking some others, the essential workers that are still going to work each day: the cashiers, stock clerks, pharmacists and others at the grocery stores and pharmacies, and the delivery drivers and long haul truckers who are making sure that the supply chain is not interrupted Their successful efforts, ensuring that the stores are constantly restocked, means one less worry for all of this during this difficult time.
