is a life-changer. if i would have known now, i would have taken it more seriously. >> a member of our vaccine team is joining us here in the studio now. doctor, what more do we know about these long haul issues and how long are they? >> well, larry, one of the most important things we know is how prevalent it is. awareness is everything. the fair health study that came out last week looked at $2 million people diagnosed positive of covid-19, found a quarter had long haul systems. what is concerning are two things. number one, some of the people were asymptomatic when they had their first covid-19 infections. it could have been anyone running around when they were exposed but there are so many symptoms that classify under long haul, so there is definitely more awayneness but there are more clinics popping up with multidisciplinary care to people can get the help they need from specialists. >> but you are treating this or

that. it sounds like whac-a-mole. how do you deal with that. >> i am smiling to ing to ing t of playing whac-a-mole at chuck e. cheese in the '90s. but you are working back, saying could this be a long haul pix? you work backward. more specialists are talking to one another, sharing data and there are studies ongoing looking at patterns. if vaccinations are helping patients, about 30% to 40% are reporting vaccines are taking care of their systems and understand what is causing it in the first place from but because the pandemic, depending on when you think it started, 16 months, 17, whatever it is, a year-and-a-half into this, what we would normally perceive of as long, you don't have enough time to study the long term effects of something that has only been around a year-and- a-half. >> you really don't. because of the time this has

been around, we are able to say hey, usually after four weeks after recovering from covid-19 you can call that a long haul category, but at the same time we have seen people come out with long haul systems earlier this year, even months since last year with brain fog, muscle aches, trouble concentrating, chest pain and so forth. >> how about the delta variant? what role does that play in this? it is kind of its own category itself, maybe not related to the long haul issue, but, in vaccinations, as well, is it another thing that you would say, look, this is the great unknown out here, especially if you are asymptomatic. best to get a vaccine because you don't want to be dealing with brain fog for the next six months? >> absolutely. if i can do my 45 second ted talk. we absolutely need young people in the world, in the united states to get their vaccine. the delta variety has the ability to be more transmissible among young people that want to go out now,

pack into bars and go out again. also with language haul symptoms, demographics are spread across the board. young people that say you are not as likely to get sick, well, you still could get sick, and get long haul symptoms. the more we led the virus spread, the more we let it replicate and the more we allow for variants to spread and run amuck right now. >> i am looking at numbers across the country. it seems like, obviously, the vaccination rates are slowing down because for a while everybody wanted them, we could not get them, okay, it kind of leveled out, now we are sort of, okay, you want to win a million dollars, come get a shot. i mean, there are all sorts of bribes, lotteries, all this stuff for people. what is your level of confidence we will ever really get to where we want to be, the 75% mark or so in the united states? >> well, according to surveys more than 25% of people say they will not get the vaccine

at all. fortunately we will see the effects of herd immunity from people that have antibodies from natural immunity but with cases going down, hospitalizations going down, there is a false sense of optimism saying we are good, we don't need to get the vaccine. the vaccine is a preventative effort. fall could bring more cases as restrictions are lifted and things reopen. >> do you think we will see a jump in cases again? i hope we don't get to the point where we are contemplating locking down again? we may see another surge? >> we could see surges at the state level, especially in place where is restrictions are lifted and vaccination rates are lower but i will see the same numbers of national crisis. i mean, somebody could still get a variant on a flight so we still have to take care of

ourselves. >> thank you, doctor, for your time. >> i will text you during the suns-clippers game. >> all right! a big suns fan! >> we love the ted talk from dr. patel. >> yes! well, it is cooler now than it was this weekend. >> that is for sure. the low pressure off shore is counterclockwise circulation, bringing us a cooling on shore flow, bringing more moisture into the area which accounts for the deepening marine layer we saw last night and will likely see again tonight and more spotty drizzle, not quite showers but drizzle with the moisture spilling in. you can see how breezy it is with gusts up to 21 miles per hour that happened with general breeziness throughout the entire region. san francisco is under mainly sunny skies at the moment. 65 degrees here in the city. oakland 73. morgan hill 76 and 63 at half moon bay.
