background. >> i think the momentum is there for this to be a positive year do i think we'll sit back in december 22 to be positive in the markets, no in the markets and the economy in general overall, i think we are set up for another positive year. >> any particular part of the market you like? are you a believer or a buyer in this rotation that we have seen

in these last few years in tech or chevron you've got this rotation we still have the pent up demand issue. the rising pressure and supply chain comes to bear with some of the falloff. i think things are very positive for the names you are putting on the screen here. >> you wonder what the rate rise would be what we've learned about the bond market is that it doesn't move a lot but it sits there it doesn't move much but when it

alibaba, he was still saying it was okay to crack down on ant group. it is a real interesting way of views there. >> very interesting there. the changes of covid and constantly changing guidelines the cdcity rating, you do not need a negative covid test but amending that saying yes, you could take one if you want, if you can find one this latest twist comes as tests are difficult, if not impossible to find. walmart and kroger raising the price of their at-home covid test as they deal with the white house and the deal of the cost

expired. the inax test rising from $14 to $20 and kroger pricing theirs at $24 in new jersey, a sharp increase of hospitalizations. rising above 5,000 since the earliest days of the pandemic. positive tests have tripled. and pediatrics seeing 176 kids admitted releasing data that the omicron variant is not the problem only accounting for 14% of new cases. joining us now to make sense of all of this, president of university hospital in newark. doctor, need your guidance and insight at this critical time. i don't know if you follow me on social media i'm trying to make sense of the

data what are you seeing on the ground right now >> thank you for having me first, with the omicron variant, it is a less severe variant. so tracking cases as the primary metric doesn't make any sense anymore in terms of society and health tracking hospitalizations and showing health care demand is more important than even when you look down at hospitalizations as of yesterday, our hospital had 115 people with covid out of 360 beds they happened to test positive because they were there for other things and 40% were actually sick. even within the hospital data,

if there was a better way of tracking illness and disease in terms of the case and the strain on hospitals we are facing a very significant staffing shortage anybody has to be out of work at least five days according to the new cdc guidelines to have staff taking care of you in a bed impacts the staff that's my immediate concern. >> this is so important. that first part about hospitalizations that cases are not a great metric anymore in your hospital and by the way, god bless you and all of those putting in the hours

how many of those covid patients are there because of covid or with covid and there with something else and an incidental positive test? >> there with something else with covid is a surprising 60% and 40% are there because of illness. that is a much different break down and something we are seeing earlier. something we have to admit, we are there with respiratory issues and other complications that speaks to the strain because logically, you are only concerned about that 40% that said, you still have to worry about isolating patients

making sure they have the right ppe even if they are not there for the right reason you still have to track overall hospitalizations as well >> this is a critical point too. because 60% are with covid within that 60% but maybe covid has exacerbated them to go to the hospital it is not a clean-cut difference >> true. that 60% denominator could include folks that have a clinical problem eastbound after they got over their infection but that problem is related to having a fever, being at home

and maybe becoming dehydrated. the folks coming in with respiratory disease, low oxygen level in the blood, that break down has become a lot less, which is encouraging that has everything to do with ventilators and the icu demand >> you mentioned something at the top. it is easy to be confused. here is my question. if i break my legend i come in to your hospital if i need to stay overnight. i test positive for covid but i don't have any symptoms. you patch me up. fix my legend put the cast on, am i stuck at the hospital for

five days? >> absolutely not. when you are ready to be discharged and when it is safe for to you go home, we'll send you home whether that is day two, four or eight you are not bound to being in a hospital just because of the isolation guidelines is that is guidance for how long you should stay away from others at home or institution. >> the reason i was asking is i wondered if it was preventing you from discharging patients when they are ready. sounds likes that not the case >> exactly >> doctor, doing god's work. thank you so much. cutting through some confusion take care. coming up from covid to crypto bitcoin finding itself stuck in

a rut in a fight to get back to 50,000 again what might be in store for crypto and that funky nft market wells margo chief risk officer has announced she's stepping down walmart expanding fridge delivery service at home and hiring to support the expansion. and las vegas raiders weigh hiring wynn ceo as predesint it won't matter because they are going to lose to the chargers this week. we'll be right back.
