"you don't hear them talking about covid, covid, to be specific, covid-19, that name gets further and further away from china as opposed to calling it the chinese virus. accusations flew back and forth with the us blaming china for not containing the virus effectively. and china retaliating by accusing the us of spreading misinformation. instead of addressing the public health crisis, the trump administration. reported to a blame game and leveling unfounded allegations, they claim that china was responsible for the spread of covid-19, politically motivated allegations that were never conclusively proved. why do you keep calling this the chinese virus? there are reports of dozens of incidents of bias against chinese americans in this country. your own aid, secretary azar says he does not use this term. he says ethnicity does not cause the virus. why do you keep using this? buse it comes from ch racist, it's not racist at all, no, not at all, it comes from china, that's why it comes from china, i want to be accurred, i have a great i have great love for all of the people from our countr

the term long covid _ this virus for so long. the term long covid covers _ this virus for so long. for so long. the term long covid covers a spectrum i this virus for so long. the term | long covid covers a spectrum of severity but when i say that in one of the most famous studies of this typer of the most famous studies of this type, nearly two thirds of all people hospitalised with covid had multi—organ damage. you will appreciate the kind of damage his body had suffered including cardiac damage which lead to cardiac arrest which i guess led to his ultimate death. for people at the more extreme end of the 1.9 million we are really talking about very severe damage done by the virus, which is life changing, which puts people out of work and out of their homes, puts people out of the economy. it is devastating _ people out of the economy. it is devastating. is _ people out of the economy. it is devastating. is it _ people out of the economy. it is devastating. is it possible that people could have long covid mac for the rest of their lives to a different extent, different severity?—

associated with a lower risk of having long covid down the road. among the people who are already vaccinated and having their first infection, doctor gerstenfeld said that researchers also found a higher than expected number of patients getting covid rebound symptoms after taking paxlovid. >> we reached out to pfizer, who makes paxlovid? they sent us a statement that said, in part, we are continuing to monitor data from our clinical studies and real world evidence and welcome independent research in academic discourse on long covid. paxlovid is not authorized or approved for use as a treatment or prophylactic for long covid, as it relates to rebound symptoms. pfizer said, quote, we believe covid 19 rebound is uncommon and not uniquely associated with any specific treatment. we remain very confident in paxlovid s clinical effectiveness at preventing severe outcomes from covid 19, and patients at high risk, despite the study. gerstenfeld reiterates that paxlovid is still an important treatment to prevent disease in people at high risk of severe covid

we are offering free covid tests at covid test.gov. we want folks to make sure they're ordering those tests so they can the get treatment. >> let me ask you a quick question. there's a lot of misinformation this up this, and a lot of people are still afraid to get all of these different immunizations, getting back to the communication issue. how are you combating misinformation? >> yeah. so in order to combat misinformation, one, you just have to get a lot of the good information out there, and that means we have to partner with folks who are trusted. so whether that's doctors and nurses, and that's what we've been focusing a lot of our efforts to make sure our doctors and nurses and other health care professionals have what they need, but also whether it's the faith community or others to help get good information out. and i include congress in that as well to help us get good information out the communities -- to communities the make sure they hear the good information. the accurate information. is so they can make choices for themse

survivors suffer from long covid. now, we see the coronavirus can remain in the body for years after infection. the study shows that t cells are not working well with antibodies to fight the infection. >> it is likely that there is existing virus in the body in people with long covid because that immune system that is supposed to clean out the virus, the fragments, the remainder, at the end it is completely not working. >> reporter: another study just published by a group of doctors from around the world found that covid vaccine consistently reduce the risk of long covid symptoms by as much as 50% in adults. bonilla caught covid again in 2022. he credits the vaccine for minimizing the symptoms. even today, three years later, bonilla says he is only 85% recovered. >> i still deal with some memory symptoms. the energy park is something i struggles with. >> reporter: he eats better, exercising more, and plays what he calls brain games to keep sharp. damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >>> san francisco's chinese arts and

john: you talk about sort of getting used to living with covid.at mean we can sort of forget about it, that we can sort of be blase about it? dr. rivera: it certainly does not mean that. and i think that's a very important point to raise, because covid is not quite yet in the rearview mirror. yes, the state of emergency has ended, but covid-19 is here and it's here to stay. and so when i say living with covid, it means understanding that people will continue to g sick. we need to continue to encourage all of the mitigation efforts to reduce infections and severe illness. that includes masking, staying home when you're sick, testing at the appropriate time, vaccination when it's updated and available to folks because this is going to be part of our lives. john: and as you say, the federal public health emergency ended in may. a lot of things went away. the public campaigns about masking, about testing, about getting the vaccinations and also the tracking also ended. is that a handicap to an epidemiologist like yourself? dr. rivera: it is a severe h

risk of long covid for people who are vaccinated. can you give us a perspective on this study? >> it's right now there is preliminary data about whether or not paxlovid can reduce the risks of long covid. i think what's important for people to understand is that there's still a lot we're learning about who is most susceptible to long covid, how long the symptoms actually last for. what is a positive development is that there seems to be more specialized care, more treatment facilities to treat people who do have long covid with paxlovid , i would more focus on what we do know that it's more likely to reduce your risk of getting severely ill or winding up in the hospital. more data is needed to see what it actually does, if anything, against long covid. >> okay, so people should still get paxlovid and take it if they get covid. >> if you are high risk and you're guided to by a physician. now if you are healthy, young, vaccinated, you get covid, you may not think that you have a severe illness. you don't necessarily need to take paxlov

has covid developed any peculiarities and how severe is it? , any infectious disease occurs in varying degrees of severity. and the cases of covid today are very complex, not easy, and hospitalization in our country still remains at a fairly high level, although we have deaths. incomparably less than 2 years ago, when it was a different genovariant, for example, delta, today there are no special features, it’s time to figure out that it’s the flu or covid, for this purpose, the russian state , at the expense of the federal budget, tests everyone who seeks medical help for influenza, for covid, because the treatment regimens are different, and therefore you need to seek medical help so that the correct treatment is prescribed, this is very important and against today the h3n2 flu variant has its own cure for today’s flu. variant of the new coronavirus, there is a cure, and the sooner it starts to be used, the easier the disease progresses. find out for yourself how easy it is a respiratory virus , or is it the flu, or is it covid, it’s almost i

they didn't have a test for covid. they had first sars 1 in a pandemic in 2003 and 2004, and tonight have yet a covid test. they didn't yet have a covid test. if we had the test we could have proved they were the first patients. all the evidence points to that. we know that the chinese were dishonest in their death count. all likelihood millions died in china and yet, there was no real accounting for that. i begin the book talking about a young ophalmologist, but if you report the truth in china, he went through a struggle and shame himself and admit he had been guilty of spreading gossip or rumors against the state and then he dies. we don't say how he died necessarily, appeared to have died from covid, but in his age group the death rate is like .004% so for him to die was extraordinary. if he did die from covid it was still extraordinary for him. i recount at the beginning because the scene was so striking as they were ceiling people and entombing people in their apartments like they did in the middle ages only thre

so we don't know if his lawyers have covid or he has covid.'s news coverage. if he took the stand, that would have been covered as well. it seems to me having risk of covid was a far less story. so i don't buy any of it. i think it's all to deny nikki haley getting coverage because we're not covering the horse race, per se. we're covering whether or not donald trump is going to testify or whether he gets covid. it's a done deal now. i don't think there's any hope -- nikki haley is probably not going to win in south carolina. when you get to march 5th, it's going to be a wipeout and donald trump will be the nominee. >> march 5th being super tuesday. on covid and questions about whether people are being truthful. i will note that the judge said everybody is going to ask for tests. he asked specifically to hold on to their tests, that they would need to be supp committed to the court. we'll know whether or not they test positive or negative. cornell, back to the trail, the most recent poll puts haley 11 points behind trump. i wonder with desantis

take covid-19 far more seriously?— take covid-19 far more seriously? the states are _ seriously? the odd part of this is why the states are not - seriously? the odd part of this is why the states are not sync| is why the states are not sync with the centres for disease control, they always worry about the states going rogue and setting president from what the cdc recommends because it gives some states a licence to say, well that state did it i can't i am the most egregious example is what has happened with the florida surgeon general who has gone very rogue and making false claims about covid—19 vaccine saying they cause cancer and his defence could reasonably well be well the california and florida are not going by cdc why should florida. what florida is doing is far more dangerous than 0regon is far more dangerous than oregon and california. in principle i would prefer all the states within the same situation is what cdc is recommending. i understand why states may have differences of opinion but the optics are not the best. this opinion but the opt

and that was our efforts in covid 19. i personally was flying back from our conferencen johannesburgnd felt a dark cloud at e end of february, circling the world as this covid. and we at the milken institute at faster cures and all of our centers, we pulled the leaders together and said that we would all be judged by what we did during this period of time. and one day of accelerating a solution might be worth. 10000 to 25000 lives. alex, you were there. you were involved. i was calling you constantly. so. and the teamwork required what barda did, etc., take us back for just a couple moments to those days and the strategy. yeah. so we were already early on investing in funding throug barda project bioshield, nih in therapeutics and vaccines from from really the first days we were funding them. we were funding through the traditional grant like mechanisms, which means you're putting money out there and the drug companies were working according to their own schedule and what i realized by the end of march was that wasn't goi

now, this is 2020 when the worst of the covid. okay. and before you had vaccine and before we started to come out of the foxholes, the death rate in 2020 for the population as a whole was lower than it had been in two or three. okay. and as i can remember, 203, it wasn't like some nightmare disaster where people were dropping like flies. it was even lower than it had been in 1991, which again wasn't a essentially a bad time in america. so therefore it wasn't even in the ballpark that would require some kind of, you know, all in government quasi totalitarian response. i can imagine something bad enough that might eventually warrant that. but we're talking about facts here, and the facts aren't even close if you're going to shut down the economy because there is an excess death rate that is, you know, relatively modern as compared to the normal trend. and if it's based on a change in the way they categorize death certificates, because this is all based on deaths with covid, not because of covid, anybody that had a positive test before in

even without covid, i understand, without covid. called h5n1, h5n1, exactly , yes, it became a model, this is a high mortality rate, there is about 50-60%, this is the ability to rapid spread and so on, and the cart is training... today they are demonstrating that they are training to cope with such dangers, is russia ready? in russia there is this medical and biological agency that is engaged in the fight against epidemics, thanks to which, well, russia somehow managed to become one of the leaders in vaccines in the fight against covid, and probably those people who work in this agency listen carefully to the people who sit there, actually not in the medical and biological sphere, it concerns the pre-vos, it is clear that this is pr, attracting money, and what is very important, it has a political component. dovos and the west are suffering from the loss, well, as a western platform, they are suffering from the loss of political influence. and now the statement about this new threat, for which we are preparing, is a way to raise th

covid-19 made it more obvious. president biden has made sure we have invested more than any previous president on mental health, we are so far behind, we have a law that says you have treat mental health on par with all other types of health, physical health. we still do not see providers doing that. we are trying to move that direction. one of the things we have done is at least try to make sure people can reach someone because too often what happens ithe reason you see so many suicides in the last few years is because people give up hope. we are trying to make sure they get connected. i hope you've heard by now, 988. it is 911 for those going throh a mental health crisis. you can dial or text today and you will get connected with someone who can help giving you good advice on what to do. we are also extending what are called critical health care access points for those wi mental health services. that was not available before. what we need to do is change the framework where too many insurers, too many providers,

i didn't go there because of covid but i was happy to be there during covid. we were the only state, one of the only states open. i think texas fared well also. some businesses will never come back because of that. what's really interesting is that it was a big conspiracy theory in march 2020 that it leaked from a lab in wuhan. but in private doors he is now saying it is not a conspiracy theory. really? it's not a conspiracy theory? where were you the past three years? >> a lot of people were calling people crazy and that it was dangerous and also racist. it wasn't racist to blame it on wet market in china which is a cultural thing. it's not racist to blame their culture. but if you blame a lab, that is racist. kat, how many times did you run into these people, the people that would give you the look if you weren't wearing a mask? this happened at fox. i would get into an elevator and somebody would get out. i was used to that, but you? it started in the late 90s. >> it literally happened yesterday. >> it is so wild. the social distancing thing was treated so

covid never really went down.kind of stayed at a high level, continuing to increase from that high level. we have maybe about 30 patients in the hospital with covid. in november, we were around 10. so that to give you some level. but not 100 like we were in january and february of 2023. flu is just starting. the story of flu is just the beginning. so that's why what people are worried about, it's not just covid, which is better than last year and flu, which might be one of the more challenging years, it's the combination of those two that might make things very hard and dicey in the hospital. >> just that talk about flu here for a second, this could be for some of the experts around the country the worst flu season in more than a decade. any specific reason for this? or is this just kind of cyclical in the medical field? >> i mean, it's probably due to a bunch of different factors. you know, i think people would have thought that it would have been a little better than last year. but it's very, very hard to predic
