everything from detergent to electronics is going to take a hit as parts of the world emerge vaccinated and ready to spend and the supply chains can't keep up. shoppers are bracing for a holiday season like no other all because of snarling global supply chain issues. >> you're seeing a shortage of supply of things needed to move things through the global supply chain, including workers, empty containers, available space on vessels, workers here in the state. >> reporter: add to that suing prices on materials, and a shortage of workers. and micro chips making gifts like playstation, computers and phones, expensive and hard to find. factor in inflation and all of it driving up prices. >> you could spend maybe 120 in groceries. now for little things you end up paying like 10 items and you're coming out $200.

>> reporter: price hikes hitting everything, from toys to clothes, gadgets, furniture and car parts. a report says hasbro and mattel are already raising prices. we tracked down care bears where manufacturing is up 25% since january. once in the u.s. moving by rail costs more than 225%, and trucking is up 91%. which means it got more expensive for care bear maker basic fun. for now, buy early and be flexible. >> shop now, look online, maybe you need more time than normal but i feel confident in the american retailer. >> reporter: in addition to heightened consumer spending, energy shortages around the world combined with labor shortages and transport shortages have combined to this perfect storm. about the holiday gifts, get the wish lists in.

the season. but a survey shows about 44% of adults do not plan to get a flu shot this season. what do we expect the flu season to look like and how concerned are you as you look at the possibility of the twin-demic? >> we did predict one last year and didn't get it because what we did to prevent covid prevented the flu. but the world is a different place this year, kids are back in school, people are traveling, not everybody is working from home again so we are concerned that the flu season will be tough this year. also because there's no carryover immunity because there was so little flu last year. we are recommending a flu shot. it's not inevitable we have the twin-demic. it's recommended to get the flu shot by the end of october, it takes two weeks to develop antibodies after the inoculation. and if i might, i want to remind folks getting your flu shot is

being a good neighbor, you're decreasing the amount of flu in the community and we don't want to overwhelm the hospitals this winter which will likely be contending with covid-19. >> that's for sure. one of the conversations is can you get the flu and covid shot at the same time, and what about booster shots? because a lot of people are thinking about that right now. >> you can. the revised guidance from cdc as of a number of weeks ago, is that you can get any shot with the covid-19 shot. you know, the reason we didn't do that last year is we just needed a clean rollout of the covid-19 vaccine really to monitor for any significant side effects or adverse effects following covid-19 vaccination. you can get the shots at the same time they can be given on the same arm about an inch apart or you can do one on each arm. >> this is a question a lot of folks are asking, how do you know these days if you're dealing with the cold, the flu, or covid? is there a way to differentiate

that? is it just sniffles you say i should get a covid test? >> unfortunately, peter, my answer is that the symptoms of all of those things that you mentioned very well could be indistinguishable. last year when covid first happened we talked about fever, shortness of breath, cough, that kind of thing because covid-19 does cause pneumonia. but remember because a significant portion of the population has been vaccinated, a lot of the breakthrough cases are very mild and indistinguishable from the cold or the flu. one point that's important to make is we do associate the loss of taste and smell with covid, but it's not unique to covid. you can have covid and still have the senses intact. it's not something you should use as the litmus test. if you're feeling symptoms, upper respiratory tract symptoms, achiness, low grade fever, get tested.

>> the follow-up is the at home test which is difficult to get. the biden administration infusing money to try to get more across the country but how accurate are those tests and what should you do if you can't get one right now? >> to your point, my sister did -- not try, she purchased a rapid at home test the other day, it was $49 for two tests. imagine a family of four being asked to spend $200 on testing when we want people to test frequently. that's going to be cost prohibitive. what i would like to say about the rapid testing is that they are actually quite accurate. the test doesn't care whether or not you're symptomatic. it only cares how much virus you have. we know the rapid tests are actually very good at detecting virus once somebody becomes contagious. the best way to use the rapid test is to do them serserially, which is why they come in pacts of two, do two tests separated over 24 to 36 hours over a

three-day period. if you are symptomatic and you test negative on the rapid, we do recommend a follow-up with a pcr, because it is just that much more sensitive and you want to make sure you are truly positive or negative. >> doctor, we always appreciate your expertise. thank you very much. still ahead, what captain still ahead, what captain kirk, william shatner to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means asking for what we want, and need... and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain,
