complete 100 percent coverage of with the vaccine against delta, you would only get if it were pfizer and the 40 percent protection with the dental even scrutiny. it will be in high seventies to low eighties. so that probably wouldn't be enough either. what is it about the delta vary and that's giving these vaccines such a tough time trying to keep up with the surface, the structure of the surface and the by chemistry, the surface is different. that's what evolution does. and the virus will continue to evolve unquestionably. and every so often something will come along this causes problems, say, because it has a different surface, a different structure, different chemistry, the immediate response that is generated against the vaccines. and i'll remind you that the vaccines work best or work again, stop generates against the region we haven't strain which is sort of long gone in the archives and really doesn't cause a problem any more. what we probably need is new axioms against new strains because that will take time. it will not be as easy for some even pretended. well, that's the difficult thing. it's not like technology where

country, los angeles county expanding the health order as the delta variant surging and will require vaccinations for all emt, paramedics and dentalcalifornia became the first state to require all employees in health care be fully vaccinated against covid-19. this week the l.a. city council will require proof of vaccination from anyone wanting to enter indoor public spaces. and joining us now, mishtchell feral. and that legislation would require eligible individuals to have had at least one shot, at least one dose of the vaccine. we're talking about indoor public spaces lake restaurants, bars, fitness and tram centers. how is this hitting with the folks in l.a. county? >> so great to join you this morning. so far so good. i think that people have really had enough of the -- over getting a vaccine. the science and the data is crystal clear and growing stronger every day. if you're vaccinated against covid-19, you are health are drastically better if you still contract the virus as opposed to the unvaccinated. so i think people are rallying around this and it's high time that we make this requirement across the city. >> you're seein

as at dental offices, home health aides, childcare facilities, must be fully vaccinated by october 13. yay or nay on this? dan: we reported widely on the remarkable transmissibility of the deltamuch easier than other forms. i think a crackdown is necessary . while not locking things down, none of us move anywhere throughout our building without a mask. larry: spencer, i sort ofof for those who have to enforce these rules, especially in restaurants. you know what the pushback will be. spencer: right place, indoor venues. it will be a challenge, no doubt about it. i am glad i am not in that role as the enforcer. kristen: especially because a picture of the hard, is that valid, does that look good enough? we told you about the increase in one sent an apology letter and a $100 tip, please send this and my apology to the girl in the hostess station, adding, i was very rude to her, which was out of character for me. they said unfortunately, rude interactions are not uncommon, but at least he apologized. they said the $100 and apology was uncommon. >> everyone loses their cool occasionally. i would like to give that guy some credit. should not happen, but occasionally it does. i com

nagging worry is that the delta variant will crimp the economy and hence crude oil demand and that is hitting the refiners and drillers. look at apache, marathon, occi dental, baker hugh s, devon energy are sitting very near the bottom of the s&p 500 down anywhere from 4% or in the case, down 6.25% in the case of occidental. so the nasdaq backup above the flat line thank nvidia to netflix, cisco systems for really what is boo'ing the nasdaq up above water, a nice move, and you do have nvidia up had .8% in the wake of decent earnings but nobody knows whether to invite the federal reserve in for a beer, or slam the door in its face after yesterday's minutes from the july meeting showed central bank members are warming up to tapering by the end of this year, and that means, of course, reducing all the stimulus put in during the worst levels of the pandemic , so to our floor show traders who will lead investors hopefully out of this land of confusion, teddy weisberg, sarge guilfoyle. we didn't even mention the kind of verbal bombs that beijing keeps logging at chinese tech stocks which are getting killed again at this hour. how do investors navigate through th

expand healthcare coverage on vision and dental as people's medical costs have increased, so i do think these things were needed regardless of the increase in the delta, it's so precarious that a lot of restrictions are being reimposed and i'm wondering, congressman, how you feel about that. a lot of people who have been vaccinated are alarmed that they have to put the mask back on, that they have to prove they have been vaccinated, and have to go back to things they thought they were months over from, and do you think that's beneficial? >> i understand people's frustrations. possibilities difficult, but i support getting people masked. i mean, the reality is this. we didn't anticipate the delta variant, and the delta variant can be transmitted from one person to another, even if you were vaccinated. that wasn't the case of earlier variants so as you have new data , you have to adjust policy. that's what makes america such a unique and special democracy. we are data driven and i think it's a small price to pay to keep people safe. neil: you're in a state right now, governor, obviously are based in a state right now whose governor is being recalled in
