george rutherford. always great to see you. dr. rutherford: great to see you. kristen: a lot has changed, but a lot hasn't changed. you think we're at a point in the battle against covid mask mandates where they are still necessary at a time when cases are picking up and hospitalizations are not? what do you think? : i think they are pretty unnecessary now in most of california. there are situations in which people would probably want to wear masks. we shouldn't stop them from doing it. but to move from recommendations or strong recommendations, and requirements, is a different ballgame. right now i'm pretty comfortable with masks being strongly recommended, in certain situations we used to require them and not require them that frequently. kristen: it seems like there is still not total agreement on whether we should care about case counts at all, or only about hospitalizations and deaths. where are you on that? why is there no consensus? dr. rutherford: i think there is consensus, not to contradict you. kristen: i love it when you contradict me, but i want to

george rutherford says there are a few reasons why they have the highest rate.g even if they are asymptomatic. dr. peter chin hong says the recent reopening of large segments of the economy could be another reason, but it's still a big drop in the bucket to what we saw a few months ago. >> we were a few thousand cases a day in january, and now we are talking about a couple hundred per day in the bay area. >> reporter: what doctors are seeing in hospitals is also important. >> we see cases in the community, not much in the hospital. and eerie silence. >> reporter: and covid detection continues to be flat in the water. the combination of rising booster rates are overall enough to keep hospitalizations low. right now more people are eligible for a second booster or rather the fourth shot. and when they get it is also something they should be keeping an eye on. dr. rutherford said people should be strategic. >> i am going to be in europe and africa in early june. so i would get my booster in may. so it would cover that part of my, you know, those are the exposures t

rutherford mercer. obviously caused great damage to the marriage and i can't there's no written history on her finding out about franklin's fdr's passing away. he almost literally passed away in the arms of his lover and nobody knew if he consummated in any way shape or form, but he was down a little. yeah the little white house in, georgia. and his daughter i can and optical it'll come to me a memory of senior moment. but his daughter anna had it surreptitiously arranged for lucy rutherford mercer to go visit franklin roosevelt in a little bit the white house behind her own mother's back. you know, she she but there's no written, you know fdr died everybody knew that he was with his lover including obviously eleanor, but there's no history on eleanor's reaction to that. she had obviously had been very very strong but like like the classy woman. she was she flew down to young harris or the little white house. she wrote the train back the birdman john which president reagan used me before she went to the
