>> it concerned? because on the one hand, it is like what we've seen over the last 6 months variant of omicron that a little bit better at infecting people than the last one. a little more concerned than the usual because it's also better at evading immunity. and so people who have been vaccinated still are at risk of getting it. all of the vaccines remain incredibly important in preventing severe cases and people who've gotten infections as recently as a month or 2 ago are not fully protected against this one because it's different and evade some of the immunity you have from prior infections. and so if you already have gotten the antibodies, if you contracted covid before. >> that might not protect you from this current variant. it's not as protective as it used to be used to think. you know, you had a prior infections and a lot of people. >> say i i don't didn't want it, but i'm glad i got it out of the way. now. i don't to worry about it again. i wish that were still true, but it's not we are seeing some re infections. you still have some protection, but some re

infections as quickly as a couple of months after a prior infection. so you still have to be on and it also sounds like the current available vaccines are not as effective at protecting people from this new subvariant. >> yeah. i mean, the key message is there's no question that being fully vaccinated and boosted >> is massively protective against getting very sick and dying. so you should do that. but they don't protect as well as they used to against getting infected. and so certainly we've seen i'm sure you've seen friends, family, others who are fully vaccinated, boosted who are still getting infected if they've let down their and are there any differences in the symptoms when somebody the ba 5 us a variant compared to the other earlier, some variants. >> not not significantly. certainly omicron is less likely to cause the taste and smell abnormalities. we saw

earlier, thankfully it's not clear that it's any more severe and the prior versions of omicron. and so the symptoms tend to be about the same. we're we still have to figure out whether it's more severe than the prior versions at this point. doesn't really look that way. but if we're going to see more and more cases, we are going to see more and more hospitalizations. and that is what we're seeing. not a massive increase, but there is an increased nationally. there's an increase in the bay area of the number of people in hot hospitals with covid. >> can you walk us through the symptoms that people should be keeping an eye out for? >> yeah, that's the stuff we've all gotten used to. i mean most and most of them are upper respiratory. most most cases start with a sore throat or kind upper other story. symptoms, fever, fatigue, some people have g i symptoms. obviously shortness of breath is the one that we worry worry about the most. and if you have those symptoms, you have to assume that you might have covid. you have to test if you have a negative rapid test on the first day. that's no

guarantee. you don't have it. you should repeat that test in a day or 2 to be sure. >> and we know the fda just approved pharmacists, the ability to prescribe paxlovid. a pfizer's antiviral pill to treat covid-19. how effective would you say paxlovid is against the a 4, 5, >> at this point it still seems like it holds up very well. if it doesn't attack the virus the way the antibodies in the vaccines do it tax a different part of the virus. and so at least so far, there's no evidence that it's not working well against against this new variant and certainly for people at higher risk of a bad outcome. i still think take impacts of that is very good idea. >> in last question here for you, we know that the world opening up. people are traveling. there's no signs that any any that there are any plans to shutting businesses down. but we know that covid is still it can still be deadly average of 21 people still dying from covid every day here in california.

so what it what are your doctor's orders? what's the best way we can all keep ourselves safe from these new variants? >> well, that is best person for going to choose for themselves. as you say, there are really very few mandates anymore. so it's it's choose your own adventure. if you have not gotten a booster, if you haven't gotten a shot in 2022, you should. and again, that doesn't protect you all that well against getting covid but protects you very well against getting very sick. and then i'm still not doing indoor dining. i still wear an n 95 or kn 95. when i go to crowded indoor space when i travel because there is a ton of virus around and i still do not want to get this this virus. you know, i feel pretty confident not going to die of it. i'm not at all confident that i'm not going to have a crummy time have to miss work. and also potentially have long-term symptoms. and so take a good idea. still to be careful, this thing is is nasty and it's still quite. it's quite a lot of it out there. >> all right, doctor bob wachter, chair of ucsf
