were given masks. >> when they got the infection, 81% of those on the cruise ship who developed the infection did not have any symptoms. over the asymptomatic rate was much higher. that idea that you can survive without masking, the rate for asymptomatic is good for the person. not having symptoms means not having symptoms. you are not sick. you are not in the hospital. if we have more asymptomatic infection and that cause immune, that will show it down even more. >> she is so authoring a report on this to be published in the "journal of american medicine." we learned more about how sfo is being impacted by covid-19. right now it serves about 10,000 outbound passengers each day. that come pairs to about 88,000 per day during july of last 84. the airport's director expressed his concerns to a plan proposed by the city supervisor.

that things like masks and physical distancing, we now need to use our dimmer switch to ensure that we get transmission rates under control. >> last week, governor newsom ordered bars and other businesses to close across the state swells gyms and hair salons. it might be four to five weeks before rates start to steadily decline because of that move. today california hit a milestone. 400,000 covid-19 cases. joining us now, doctor, where are we compared to the nation at large? we're closing down again. you look around the country. states like florida, their cases are surging but they're like, we're good, we're fine. nothing to see here. >> which the politicalization of this virus has to end. california seem to be taking on a different tone which are still

contested about whether or not they should have a mask mandate. focusing on our state approaching 401,000 cases. our test positivity rate. we would love to see it go down people need to remember about 40% of our cases are coming out of last county. it really comes down to county by county, looking at where the hot spots are. >> how about testing delays? we were looking online yesterday and we're seeing no appointments at all available in some locations. then if you can get a test, then maybe it takes seven to ten days to get results. and then they're basically useless. >> absolutely. the testing kind of cries are driving me insane.

you have some saying we need not only more testing but more fish testing. point of care testing which is correct. we want to know that tests will be accurate but also deliver quick results. then you keep hearing from the white house presser, only celebrating our total number of tests. now if you're waiting seven, ten, 14 days to get a test result, that completely disma dismantles everything about contact tracing. what are you supposed to do? are you going to shelter in place without knowing? the average person is not going to. we need to focus on that. sometimes the point of care tests aren't accurate. so instead of hook at our total number of tests, we need to be focusing on where they are and get funting where we need to be. >> we've seen the federal government may not be willing to jump in and help certain states

that are having delays in testing. >> i think it is. >> we have a little delay. go ahead. >> if you look at the actual issue, and you look at, are we going to create tests where you don't need reagents, that would be a point of care testing. or are you going to get labs more resources. that would be a great conversation. i don't want to play politics but i feel like there needs to be more pressure placed on where the funding is coming from. we want to capture silent cases. we ned to put more funding into faster test results. >> let's talk about oxford university. they seem to have had a break through in testing. how fast might we see distribution on a large scale? >> we're far from ideal right now. according to all the projections, we should see a

viable vaccine by the end of the year. even as early as september. that doesn't mean worldwide distribution. for that it will probably be, if everything goes right, at some point, next year. once it becomes available, chances are it will go to higher risk populations or people who have been in contact with coronavirus. so people still need to hang tight and realize, we need to focus on everything we know we should be doing and hopefully some treatments will come out that buy us time before a vaccine is available at your local drugstore. >> all right. as a medical professional, i imagine it has to drive you crazy when you look at what's napping other countries around the world. successfully containing the virus while we're going backwards. people won't wear their masks. a positive sign at least, a small one today with president trump saying at the news conference that he's encouraging people to actually wear masks. do you think that could be a turning point for the u.s.? >> i think it could be a turning

point for people looking to president trump as their source of inspiration. people out there have said i'm not wearing a mask. our president is not wearing a mask. they're citing their freedom and autonomy. masks and coronavirus, none of this cares about politics. that's science. the science is cheer that wearing a mask had curb the spread. so hopefully people are understanding, finally, there does not need to be a political argument. we need to be wearing a mask and it does drive me insane. and to see these countries not have the scientific debates that we do here every day. >> thank you. all right. a new twist on wine and cheese. this is not your usual wine dear california... we know these are challenging times. rest assured, you are not alone. we've all had to adapt. and with summer here,
