4:31 pm
line for those free at home covid test kits. funding has run out, so the government will stop taking orders friday. approval could come friday for new boosters for moderna and pfizer. the company say that shots target the original and omicron strains. a report from the los angeles times says omicron symptoms can be so mild, many are going to work with covid. experts say this is making the transition -- transmission risk higher. karina: joining us is contributor dr. alok patel. thanks for being here. dr. patel: happy monday. is it monday? karina: it is. the weekend is gone. a lot of kids heading back to school this week. some have already been. i want to talk about that because all is around the corner. you think with kids heading back to school, maybe colder temperatures as well, we are in for another search? dr. patel: i would say we are
4:32 pm
definitely in for an increased risk. but, this is different from what we had in 2021 and 2020. two things working for us. more americans have been vaccinated. we need higher than 30% getting boosted. we also have a lot more natural immunity. a very high percentage of kids and adults having some bodies vaccines or natural infection. i am less worried about a widespread surge but an individual is still at risk which is why it is still important for people out there to do what they can to hedge their bets. >> let's talk about the kids. schools are back in session. have you seen an increase in pediatric cases? dr. patel: it is hard to say if we have seen an increase. i will say we are still seeing plenty of kids test positive in the hospital. that does not mean they are
4:33 pm
primarily hospitalized because of covid-19. it does not mean covid-19 is not causing symptoms. it is hard to tell, but we are seeing a rise in cases. i do not actually know the effects of the 19 on their illnesses. i can't tell you how it affects asthma, diabetes, seizure disorders. i don't want kids running out there getting -- i want them protected. every single aspect of this conversation is we are happy schools are open and kids are going back to in person learning. we just need to make sure we do it safely. karina: the new boosters, would you call them a game changer? dr. patel: i would not be able to call them a game changer. i feel bad saying that. but, they are an important conversation. having an updated booster that includes omicron, ba.4 and ba.5.
4:34 pm
the reason the scientific community is having a hard time calling them a game changer is because we do not have human data. it is going to be interesting to see what the cd says, they are supposed to meet at the end of this week. for someone who is high-risk, they may be a game changer in terms of individual health. we just have to wait to see what the final verdict is. karina: we heard kristen mentioned the end of the free covid tests being sent by the government. what could be the impact of that? it looks like we might have lost the signal there, unfortunately. we are just gonna wrap up. i am sure we will have dr. alok patel on sometime this weekend get more questions answered. kristen: i'm kind of sad about the free home tests. the push to make jaywalking no longer illegal. prices going up.

4:38 pm
kristen: time for the four at 4:00. governor newsom considering signing a bill that could make jaywalking less citable as an infraction. according to data board, tickets issued for jaywalking disproportionately affect low income and people of color. assembly member phil ting says his bill would ban most jaywalking situations from being ticketed. only when there is serious danger to the pedestrian. this could prevent many stops from escalating to confrontations with police and high-priced tickets cause more harm than good. last year they had a bill that governor newsom did not signed, that would have made it completely un-citable. the governor did cite concern for pedestrian safety. this would make it so that it would be more limited. what do you think? >> jaywalking is not every good
4:39 pm
idea unless there is absolutely no traffic. but, if there is a limitation there for situations in which a pedestrian was in grave danger, not a bad lot to go into effect. mike: i have all sorts of thoughts. as someone who drives regularly in traffic and watches people dart in and out even though it is not supposedly their time. there's so many crosswalks, why do we need to jaywalking the first place? if we take away jaywalking, should we take away watching your cell phone while you cross? there's so many things you can over regulate. if people were just more aware of their surroundings, stuff like this wouldn't be needed. karina: we have all been in instances where you almost hit somebody, it is terrifying as a driver. but, this law does limit --
4:40 pm
people can still get a ticket, but it is limited as to where they can get tickets. kristen: they might want to consider next lowering the fine. right now it is $200. spencer: that's a good idea. kristen: this is interesting, a canadian news anchor says she was fired for going gray. her hair. like many during the pandemic, lisa stopped coloring her hair. in june, she was told she was being replaced. the 58-year-old is the anchor of one of the most-watched newscasts in canada. she says at one point, her boss asked who approved the decision to let lisa's hair go gray. i just gonna start by saying, this would not even be a conversation if it was a man, right? spencer: probably. mike: true. spencer: who approved the
4:41 pm
decision? leak at -- lisa approved the decision. it is her hair. kristen: that should be enough. i am shocked. mike: canada is supposed to be friendly. spencer: and progressive. mike: i wonder if our hair -- does it pertain to that too? you can't fire someone or demote them if their hair is a certain natural way. kristen: right. mike: that's her natural hair, right? kristen: that seems like an age discrimination lawsuit. karina: that is what she is saying. the tv station is saying no, they parted ways over journalistic differences. mike: after 40 years? sure. kristen: that's not how it looks. mike: wasn't she replaced with a white male in his 30's? spencer: with dark hair? [laughter] kristen: some panera bread customers are having their drive-through orders taken by computer. the chain is testing artificial
4:42 pm
intelligence technology in new york. it is using voice ordering technology with a goal of accuracy, decreasing service times. panera employees will be on standby to offer help and take payment for orders. wait, so they still need humans? then where are the benefits? spencer: i am all for accuracy and efficiency but i hate to see jobs taken away. it might require only one human to standby in case there's a problem with the technology. whereas there could be three or four humans doing the actual jobs. karina: the other side is every panera i would give to, there's always a sign that says "help needed." the issue is that panera couldn't hire enough people. and you can dig into that even more about how much they are getting paid. so many paneras i have gone to are looking for help, so maybe
4:43 pm
this is their solution. spencer: they could post a sign saying, only ai need apply. kristen: computers don't need brakes unlike us humans. karina: from panera to pumpkin spice lattes. fall is coming, everybody is going to be drinking these. inflation is affecting everything, including your pumpkin spice latte. starbucks is releasing the seasonal drink tomorrow but it is going to cost you more. prices are up 4% from last year. customers can expect to shell out five dollars and $.45 to $5.95 for a grande day 16 -- what you think? kristen: usually i ask them for fewer pumps. i only get one pump up the syrup instead of three. could they give me a discount for that? mike: nice try. [laughter] spencer: i like that.
4:44 pm
mike: that is logical, stop it. [laughter] kristen: what am i thinking? karina: spencer, do you go for pumpkin spice? spencer: i prefer cappuccinos or mucky autos -- i do like pumpkin flavors. i do not think i'm going to spend six dollars on that. karina: there's so many online recipes to make at home. i know you can just go and grab it and get it done, but look at all the money would save if you could figure out how to make it at home. spencer: pricey. mike: especially with the cure eggs. kristen: i make pretty good coffee. for you guys, only four dollars. spencer: what a deal. spencer: what a deal. what's the difference between prop 26 and prop 27? 26? not one dime to get people off the streets and into housing
