pretty contagious the corona virus that causes sars for example seems to be just as contagious as sars co2 if not even a little more so but that epidemic petered out and the pathogen basically disappeared after around 6 months so so why didn't the same happen with this virus well to answer that we have to look at their respective incubation period that's the amount of time that passes between the moment of infection and the time when a patient begins to show symptoms so in other words the moment when you know that person is sick in both diseases health authorities say the incubation period is similar ranging from between $2.14 days and with an average of about 5 days the interesting thing though is not the length of the incubating period but what happens during it with sars patients generally hit their peak infectious period after they had begun to show symptoms and they didn't really seem to pass the virus along to others during the incubation period when they were unaware that they were carrying the pathogen so we were able to contain that virus effectively with isolation and quarantine

help against sars co 2 there's clear evidence the micronutrient is important to healthy immune system function in other words to how susceptible you are to infection in general a recent study from the university of chicago went a step further looking at patient records the research team they are discovered what they claim is a clear retrospective link between vitamin d. deficiency in patients and covert 19 brits. the problem is is that to prove it we still have to carry out what are called randomized trials where where we monitor people getting enough of the vitamin and those with known deficiencies and then track the groups to see what happens over time whether there are differences in how many people in the cohorts contract kovan 19 and if they do how severe it is another issue though is if vitamin d. really does prove to be an effective preventive measure what doses of it should people take taken in excessive amounts as a supplement it can cause calcium to build up in your blood and can even cause organ damage so there are potential dangers along with the upsides but but in general

immune-typical person and those are still indicating someone has possibly been infected or exposed with sars co we don't know enough about how that, you know -- that really plays out in terms of if you can get infected, you know, with the same clade or generically very distinct clades. i think there's more research to be done related to the genetic did irchss in those different clades. >> and it highlights so many outstanding questions that remain. thanks to you and your team for doing this study. >> lull. >>> incredible after all these months how much more we have to learn about covid. this is a live look at round two of questioning in the confirmation hearing for supreme court nominee amy coney barrett. what can we expect today? more answers coming up. and you're going to find yourself where you need to be. ♪ the race is never over. the journey has no port. the adventure never ends, because we are always on the way. ♪ ♪ did you try it yet? comparing plans? oh yeah. they sure can change year to year. i found lower premiums - and lower prescription costs. and those new insulin savings! hundreds

but we'll be -- we'll be enrolling people with all kinds of exposures to sars co-v-2. next slide. this is the co--vpn website. they have a registry, and already over 9,000 people signed up just for the san francisco bay area and that distribute include the east bay that had another 11,000 people sign up. this was a couple weeks ago. and people continue to sign up. so we are using that as a way of doing outreach to individuals who may be interested in participating in the study. and because we have the demographics of the individuals that are signing up, we can specifically select for our priority population. next slide, please. and this is the last slide. this is our website. i encourage you all to go to it. it's wecanbeatcovid.org. this is artwork done by a local latino artist. so, thank you very much for your attention. i'm happy to take any questions. >> president bernal: thank you, dr. buchbinder. commissioners, any questions or comments. commissioner green. >> commissioner green m.d.: well, first of all, this was an absolutely fantastic presentation. i have to compliment you
