FEAR.
FEAR. OUR
FEAR. OUR GUEST DR. TOM HAWKINS, TEXT YOUR QUESTIONS (916) 321-3310.
ALL THIS TIME PEOPLE WERE TOLD
NOT TO WEAR THE MASK UNLESS YOU
HAVE THE VIRUS, NOW IT'S
PRESSED WELL YOU COULD HAVE A
VIRUS AND NOT KNOW YOU HAVE THE
VIRUS.
NOW EVERYBODY IS WEARING THE
MASKS, YOU HAVE A MASK, YOU
HAVE SHOW AND TELL FOR US.
SHOULD PEOPLE BE WEARING THE
MASKS, IF THEY WEAR A MASK OR
MAKING A MASK, WHAT SHOULD IT
BE LIKE?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YEAH,
NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED, WE ARE
LEARNING ABOUT THIS VIRUS.
THIS IS THE TYPICAL MASK YOU
SEE AROUND THE HOSPITAL PEOPLE
WEARING, IT'S A CLOTH.
IT'S SPECIAL MATERIAL.
IT IS THIS IS NOT AN N 95 MASK.
THIS IS ONE THING YOU COULD
ACTUALLY USE.
OF COURSE MY COLLEAGUES DR.
CARSON MADE THESE, MEDICAL
SOCIETY IS COLLECTING A LOT OF
FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE
MAKING THESE MASKS, THIS IS A
HOME MADE MASK, IF YOU YOU
WILL.
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
MATERIAL.
SO IT'S MADE OF CLOTH MATERIAL
USING BOTH SIDES SO IT'S REALLY
TWO PIECES OF CLOTH THAT ARE
PUT TOGETHER TO
FORM A MASK AND PEOPLE HAVE
DONE ALL TYPES OF CREATIVE
THINGS.
YOU WANT IT TO GO OVER THE
MOUTH AND THE MOHS.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COME BECOME
CREATIVE.
THE KEY THING, THE MASK THAT I
WEAR, IF I'M WEARING IT IT'S TO
PROTECT YOU.
WHEN YOU WEAR ONE IT'S TO
PROTECT ME.
WE BOTH WEAR ONE, WE BOTH WEAR
ONE WE ARE PROTECTING EACH
OTHER.
>> THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW BREAKING
IT DOWN.
USE TODAY BE NOBODY HAD A MASK.
>> THOSE OF US WITH ASTHMA AND
BRONCHITIS, THOSE WOULD BE
RESPIRATORY, YES?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WALT.
WE KNOW THAT CORONAVIRUS REALLY
IT INFECTS AND DESTROYS LUNG
ISSUE CREW.
IF YOU HAVE HEALTHY LUNG TIS
YOUR YOU ARE IN BETTER
POSITION.
ASTHMA, COPD, PEOPLE WHO VAPE,
THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW, THOSE
ARE HIGH RISK FACTORS FOR
FOLKS.
AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A
LOW IMMUNE SYSTEM.
>> (916) 321-3310.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE
GETTING BETTER FROM
CORONAVIRUS?
I WOULD ASSUME IF HAD YOU IT,
WHAT YOUR FEVER IS GOING DOWN,
BREATHING EASIER, WOULD THOSE
BE ACCURATE?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT IS
INTERESTING.
KEEP IN MIND THAT MOST PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BE ASYMPTOMATIC
THAT HAS COVID-19.
THAT IS THE PRESSING ISSUE
ABOUT THE MASK.
IF THEY HAVE COVID-19 ARE MILD
SYMPTOMS, MILD SYMPTOMS WOULD
GO AWAY.
ALMOST IN A SENSE LIKE IF THEY
HAD A COLD.
THEY WOULD KIND OF GO AWAY.
IT'S JUST WHEN THE SEVERE
SYMPTOMS, PEOPLE WHO SURVIVE
THE SEVERE SYMPTOMS OF COURSE
WE NOTED IT WHEN THEY ARE
GETTING BETTER THEIR RECOVERY
WHEN THE FEVER GOES DOWN, THE
COUGH DIMINISHING AND THEY
DON'T HAVE SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE FIGHTING
FOR THEIR LIFE.
>> WE TEND TO DESCRIBE A COVE
PATIENT AS SOMEONE WHO COULD
BARELY BREATH ON A VENTILATOR,
BEING RUSHED TO A
HOSPITAL WITH KNEW ONLY I
CAN'T, OBVIOUSLY VARIOUS FORMS
YOU HAVE SAID AS YOU MENTIONED,
IT COULD BE MILD,
MEDIUM, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
THE WORSE CASE SCENARIO WHICH
WE SO FREQUENTLY ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
>> KEEP IN MIND, MAJORITY OF
PEOPLE PROBABLY -- A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE ASYMPTOMATIC.
80% OR MORE OF FOLKS WHO HAVE
MILD SYMPTOMS, STAYING AT HOME
AND ISOLATING THEMSELVES IS
GOING TO BE HELPFUL THERE.
IS A FEW THAT ARE GOING
ESPECIALLY HIGH RISK,
VULNERABLE POPULATION OF THOSE
ARE THE FOLKS WHEN THEY DEVELOP
FEVER, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, YOU
KNOW, THAT COUGH GETS WORSE AND
REALLY STRUGGLING, THOSE ARE
THE FOLKS THAT
NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND
WE HAVE TO WATCH MORE CLOSELY.
>> WORDS ARE COMFORTABLING
THAT8 TOED 5%.
>> NO, WELL TWO DIFFERENT
SCENARIOS.
NO, THEY DON'T.
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO NEED THE
PNEUMONIA VAC ARE THE SAME
