The National Guardsmen and women in New Jersey have been on the front lines of our fight against COVID-19.
Some people think that doctors and nurses can put scrambled eggs back into the shell.
Some of the most vulnerable people to getting the SARS virus are health care providers. The general public, walking in the street, there is really not that much risk at all. It's a very, very low risk - a very, very low risk.
