i'll tell you how you came to consider this issue from an incident that took place at the university of washingtonseattle. it was january 2017, students speaker by the name of milo to come speak in the president of the university overwrote the students and not allow the speaker and took positions to reinforce speaker should be allowed. unfortunately, it ended up in a very unfortunate incident in which the individual was shot. both the victim and perpetrator were not students or faculty or campus members at all but it did evolve out of the station. the conclusion drawn by the community at large was in the academic realm, it's evidence of a growingea problem with regardo freedom of speech and the question asked, does it pose a threat to the safety and security of college campuses? i thought it was a terrible conclusion to draw and i felt the conclusion that it to be drawn was threatening freedom of speech and college campuses in the country is being threatened. so i took this to the bipartisan policy council and that i am concerned because i watched the president of the university of washington stan

vin gupta, a critical care pulmonologist in seattle, also on faculty at the university of washingtontrics and evaluation. dr. gupta, you make us feel safer and definitely smarter on all things covid when you're here. "new york times" is reporting that in some hospitals as many as half of the people who are testing positive were actually brought into the hospital for something else, testing positive after they were admitted. when we look at the soaring numbers about the omicron variant, are they even close? what should we believe about how serious the hospitalizations are? >> good evening. good to see you. what i will say for all the viewers is this. the hospitalizations numbers, the case numbers we have to take them in context. by january 23rd, the university of washington institute for health metrics is predicting we will see a peak in daily deaths from this virus. about 2,000 at that point, january 23rd. then a pretty precipitous decline, stephanie, to less than 1,000 by, say, valentine's day, middle of february. then it's going to be a spring of renewal. by march 1st that number w

however, there could be relief on the horizon, at least a university of washington model is predicting that cases will hit their peak by next wednesday. after that cases should fall sharply because those who can be infected will have been infected. and speaking of that, one of the people who knows a lot about covid and is comfortable talking about it is the chair of the university of san francisco's department of medicine. but doctor bob wachter says it's very different thing to have the virus actually hit your family kron four's. catherine heenan joins us now from the newsroom to explain. katherine, very doctor. wachter is known for his long covid over the last couple of years. he likes to stay positive. he explains things in layman's terms. >> but now he's talking about what it was like when the omicron virus hit home. his 28 year-old son, his son was fully vaccinated, had a booster shot but still got sick. so on some recent days, the doctor has sounded more like a worried father, then a detached expert. he says it is important to share the story. he talked to or james fletcher today

but all the experts, i was reading a couple epidemiology reports from the university of washington stating we're going to see a peak somewhere around the end of next week and a rapid decline in the omicron variant seeing what we're seeing in south africa and europe. so by the time the tests are getting here, we're not going to be -- we'll see rapid declines and this goes back to even president biden denying the fact that this was going to continue to be an issue. so we can talk about republicans but the administration who has access to the administration, the c.d.c., n.i.h. and dr. fauci and everybody were misleading the country saying it was going to get better. if you look at the polling for president biden early last year who was doing a better job with the virus, his numbers were in 60% plus and today they're around 40% and declining rapidly. he came into office a year ago with three convenience -- three convenience and with therapeutics and a ton of knowledge and now what we've seen unfortunately for america because of the politicization and because of the promises that have not come

yes, so this, this project was a collaboration between the university of oxford and i, it's me at university of washington. as you mentioned, our estimates revealed that at least $1200000.00 deaths per year are directly attributable to enter microbial resistance to represent a major cause of health boss requiring urgent action and policy makers in the health community. to avoid further preventable debts, am are, as you said, is responsible for more depth and h, i, v, or malaria. this is driven by a number of factors in high income countries. antibiotic overuse may be a major driver. whereas in sub saharan africa where we estimated the greatest burden to him, our lack of access to clean water generation and hygiene may be a driver for community spread of inch microbial resistant infections. that's really interesting. i just want to pick up an appointment. you mentioned navy or the use of antibiotics in some western countries. can you write that down a little bit more for us? because that's something that i've heard anecdotally, but i didn't realize that is it actually being proven medically? yeah, well we

we asked the author in university of washington, socio ologist, dr. nick kabir, re about those among us. we hear called cavers cavers are really finding comfort in the indoors because the outdoors now seems a lot more uncertain. our social harmony has been disrupted. social rules have changed, there's a lot of, there's less integration, socially with other people. and so it's really kind of not clear how we're supposed to relate. and it's really comfortable to stay at home where things feel a lot less uncertain, and more clear. and the social interaction isn't as confusing. we are social creatures, we need social norms to tell us how to interact, what to do, what to decide. we are social norms, create social order for us and, and all those norms are changing. we have very different rules of engagement now and a very from region to region. i mean they have to vary from friend to friend. and with that kind of uncertainty, it becomes, it feels a little more risky to make decisions outside of the home. it makes everything feel a little bit more difficult

tell you how i came to tconsider this issue coming from an incident that took place at the university of washington seattle. it was january 2017 a a student invited a speaker to come speak and the president petitioned to overrule the students and not allow the speaker also seek petitions to reinforce that the speaker should attend. unfortunately it ended up in the unfortunate incident and which the individual was shot both the victim and the perpetrator were not student our faculty or campus members but it did evolve out of the demonstration. the conclusion drawn by the community at large was that with the freedom of speech. and the question that was asked does it pose a risk to the safety and security of college campuses? and then consider feel they can call on —- conclusion better to be drawn threatening the freedom of speech some of the bipartisan policy council i am concerned because i watch the president stand alone with virtually no support once the incident took place and being pummeled from every conceivable direction that was january 2017 it was the speaker and thepr incoming president and

if approved by the legislature, we'll go from 20 seats to 30 seats at the university of washington school of medicine to train doctors to work in alaska. together with these partners, we'll build a stronger, more durable health care system in alaska that can respond to most any situation. every state, every nation, has been confronted with this pandemic, and its periodic surges as new variants emerge. but make no mistake about it, we've been very different from many others in how we've responded, and our outcomes prove it. we've led on testing. we've led on vaccine distribution. we've led on the distribution of therapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies as the first state to establish a community site to receive treatment. we recognized early on that specific populations were more vulnerable to this virus than others, particularly our elders, those with underlying health issues, and some residents of our remote communities with limited health care infrastructure. from the beginning i was determined that there would be no repeat of 1918 on my watch here in alaska. by any measure, history w

the university of washington was refusing to test asymptomatic patients for things like travel or socialut much the same way at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. >> cities and states are struggling to administer tests. most do not have a cohesive test to gather or respond to the results from rapid home tests. that means the official covid case totals are likely a vast undercount. in other words, the officials are making health decisions in cases and hospitalizations climbing towards a pandemic high. >> what's driving the pandemic is the fact that we're probably diagnosing somewhere between 1 in 5 and 1 in 10 infections. a lot of people walking around who don't know it and are spreading it. >> the former fda commissioner scott gottleib says omicron has peaked in new york and several other major cities. that's the good news. the concern now shifts to the middle of the country where the full impact of that variant has yet to be felt. >>> congress is being confronted by the impact of covid. they return for the first time since covid cases exploded in the d.c. area. congresswom

five or 6 million people per day by some estimates, including -- right around there, in the university of washingtoneans that this batch of the population -- if this conversion unity against future infection, and there's been some studies done, one particular in south africa, which shows that it does protect against delta, then was likely the case is it will protect against serious illness. it may not protect against the same type of symptoms, runny nose, -- so we still may be dealing with some of that disruption, we'll have to see. but, if it does indeed protect us against serious illness, that is very good news, because that's gonna mean that the country will have severe protection, at least for the next midterm. >> there was reporting in politico today, in which a senior administration official argued that the effort to send surgical grade mask, and 95, kn95, like actual respirator masks, to americans would make little difference, because half the country won't wear any mask. a lot of people were very upset by. this i want to ask you a broader question, for people who voted for joe biden, support

publicist will book it on "dancing with the stars." ( laughter ) in fact, according to the university of washington case number has already peaked, hitting six million on january 6. january 6?! that's a strange coincidence. can we see omicron under a microscope? ah-ha! ( laughter ) ( applause ) more promising news: according to a recent study, covid loses 50% of its ability to infect after 10 seconds in office air. i'm not surprised. a lot of people lose their will to reproduce when they're in a dead-end office job. covid should try buying a fun mug, or maybe a yoga ball chair. we have some good news from a source not known for it: florida. ( laughter ) the story-- ( applause ) the story starts with governor-- and dad having way too much fun at the news museum-- ron deesantis. earlier this week, we learned that governor desantis allowed up to a million of florida's covid tests expire in a warehouse. nothing good ever happens in a florida warehouse, unless you placed your bets on the right coked-up snapping turtle. luckily, the feds stepped in to save the day, because yesterday, the f.d.a. announced

the university of washington model, which is often been right during the pandemic, predicts the casesy next wednesday. and after that cases will fall sharply because people who are most likely to get infected. we'll have already been infected. >> this as the cdc says the omicron surges causing an increase in both hospitalizations and deaths across the country. cdc director doctor rochelle walensky making that announcement at today's white house covid response team briefing doctor walensky says approximately 1600 people are dying every day from covid. that is up 40% from last week. hospitalizations also up from last week with just a shy of 20,000 people being hospitalized every day for covid. >> important to note that omicron continues to be much more transmissible than delta. the sudden and steep rise in cases due to omicron is resulting in unprecedented daily case counts sickness, absenteeism and strains on our healthcare system. the risk of hospitalization remains low, especially among people who are up to date on their covid vaccines. however, the staggering rise in cases over 1 mi
