"Thank you so much. I know you guys have some very important work to do," he said. "We have so many people praying for you, rooting for you and I know as things continue to go, hopefully everybody takes their responsibility, a person's responsibility to try to end this thing quick, sooner rather than later, but, thank you so much for what you're doing."
