wachter: you know what i know. people have talked about coming out with results in the next month or so. we just have to wait and see. early results from the vaccine trials were disappointing. part of the challenge with the little kids is you have to guess the dose. you do not want to give too high a dose, because then all of the kids have high fevers which is unpleasant. you don't want to give too low a dose, because they won't have a response they need. on the first try, they gave too low a dose. they have to go back and give a higher dose. my guess is we will find something that works and it will come out in the next month or two. kristen: do you think parents will even want it when approved? given the pandemic is over mentality, do you worry there won't be enough takers? dr. wachter: yes. we have seen that in 5-11-year-old kids. if i had a kid that age, i would make sure my kid was vaccinated. in part because even though the risk that a young child is going to get very sick and die is very very low. it is not z

according to doctor wachter based on san francisco case numbers currently, if you board a plane with 150 people on board, there is a 95% chance that at least one person on board has covid. so the risk of catching covid is there. however, he does note the risk on planes is somewhat smaller than comparable spaces like a packed bar. for example. and that's due to that good ventilation system and air filters on board a plane when it comes to other forms of transportation like buses and trains, the risk does elevate a bit as ventilation might not be as robust. the mask mandate, of course, was set to be reevaluated in just 2 weeks. time doctor wachter initially called for the biden administration to fight the decision by the federal judge as he feels the ruling sets a dangerous precedent. >> do we want a society where a judge can say to the cdc or other federal authorities, you do not have the authority to enact a mandate in the middle of a public health emergency. you know, that's always going to be tricky decision. but i personally would rather have experts in public health make a decisi

joining me now with his thoughts on the matter doctor wachter. i've been saying for the last 2 years that whether or not the mandate goes away, i will still probably wear a mask on a plane. that's a personal choice. and that's basically what we're left with now making your own personal decision about whether or not to wear a mask. what was your initial reaction to the news yesterday? >>it was inevitable that it was going to be dropped at some my main reaction was should be dropped by a judge who may or may not know anything about public health or should that be the decision of of the cdc and other federal authorities that rather the latter. i think it's a dangerous precedent that a judge can say that the governor doesn't have the authority to to have a mandate during a public health emergency. but overall, i think the time is probably right for this decision. but i'm with you know, i will continue to wear my mask on a plane and on other forms of transportation because there there is still considerable amount of risk that you can catch covid in th

robert wachter says anyone concerned should invest in n95 masks and wear them properly whether there's a rule or not. >> we've got to take notes doing all this. it's a bit confusing. >> a lot of confusion. i keep my mask on whenever i go out just because i feel like it's safer and especially when i don't have make-up on, ready to go, a hat. >> and nice fresh air out there, too. >> look at the sunset behind you. we got that rainfall everyone is excited about. we'll get into our headlines tonight and what we are tracking. overall, look, i still think we're going to stay dry through this evening. if you're headed out, running any kind of errands, you don't need the umbrella but keep it in the back seat of the car because you're going to need it coming up. and ahead again that new storm on the way, and i know you're all anxious to hear those details, but hold on here with me for about a minute and we're going to get you into tat storm. i want to get to the temperatures we're going to see as we roll through tomorrow. in the morning 48 in the tri-valley with a mix of sun coming in and also s
