. >> brennan: mayor gars garcetti of los angeles is taig that.cern have already ripped through the population, and that's what they saw with the pandemic in january. what do you think of his thesis? >> doctor: it is probably right. the two variants we're tracking in california probably have already become epidemic in that part of the country. they probably have a level of immunity in the population that you won't see a true fourth wave. once you get 50%, 60% of the public with some form of immunity, there is not a lot of people to infect. again, we're vaccinating against that. so we're continuing to put protective immunity into the population. i think the fact that we've taken our foot off the brake a little too early -- march is always going to be a difficult month, but we really should have waited until april. it probably means we'll plateau. the only thing that can be a real game-changer is if we have a variant that pierces prior immunity, meaning it infects people who have had it or have been vaccinated. the variants are epidemic in the u.s.,
