DEPARTMENT POSTING ON TWITTER. IT WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. THE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULE
REOPENS.
IT’S NOW TIME FOR THE WEEKLY
WITH NEWS 00:00AM MORNING
ANCHOR JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON
CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH
JUSTIN WARMOTH. GOOD MORNING.
I’M JUSTIN WARMOTH. WHILE A
VACCINE HAS GIVEN US HOPE THE
CORONAVIRUS CONTINUES TO SURGE
ACROSS THE U.S. DOCTOR KENT
ALEXANDER WITH NEMOURS HOSPITAL
IS HERE THIS MORNING TO DISCUSS
GETTING VACCINATED. THE NEW
VARIANT OF THE VIRUS. AND WHEN
WE CAN FINALLY PUT THE PANDEMIC
BEHIND US.
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO KIND OF
START THIS. AND I THINK WE
SHOULD JUST OVER THE CURRENT
STATE OF THE
PANDEMIC AND.
>> THE CURRENT SURGE IN CASES
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
UNFORTUNATELY DEATHS. HOW LONG
YOU THINK THE SURGE WILL LAST.
>> SO THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
QUESTION AND THERE’S GOOD NEWS
AND THERE’S BAD NEWS. OF
COURSE, WE’RE ALL LOOKING AT
THE THE NUMBERS REPORTED FROM
THE CDC AND FROM THE STATE AND
WE ARE CERTAINLY IN A SURGE.
THE
NUMBERS ARE EXCEEDING WHAT WE
SAW EARLIER IN THE PANDEMIC,
THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT IF
YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF THE
PREDICTIVE MODELS, THINGS IN
TERMS OF NEW INFECTIONS OR AS
BAD AS THEY ARE GOING TO BE
FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
THE DOWNSIDE IS THAT THE NUMBER
OF DEATHS USUALLY FOLLOWS THE
SURGEON INFECTION BY ABOUT 2
WEEKS. SO IN FLORIDA, WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE A CLIMB IN THE
NUMBER OF DAILY DEATHS OVER THE
NEXT 2 LATE AND THEN THE
PREDICTIVE MODELS ARE
SUGGESTING THAT AFTER THAT IT
WILL GRADUALLY AND UNDERLINED
GRADUALLY BEGIN TO TAIL OFF.
>> IS IT SHOCKING THAT WE ARE
THE SURGING IN CASES AND
EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. AFTER
THE HOLIDAYS WHEN PEOPLE WERE
GETTING TOGETHER.
>> I THINK IT WAS PREDICTABLE
IN
MANY WAYS. THERE’S BEEN A
CHANGE IN THE THE DISEASE IS
TRANSMITTED EARLY IN THE
PANDEMIC. WE SAW PEOPLE GETTING
INFECTED AT WORK. WE SAW PEOPLE
GETTING INFECTED IN PUBLIC
PLACES. NOW WHAT WE’RE SEEING
IS PEOPLE ARE GETTING INFECTED
FROM FAMILY MEMBERS AND IN
PLACES LIKE RESTAURANTS WEST,
WE’RE COMING OFF THE HOLIDAYS.
IN FACT, WHAT WE’RE SEEING HERE
WAS UNFORTUNATELY PREDICTABLE.
YOU.
>> YOU KNOW, WE’VE HEARD THE
WHAT THE TERM HERD BEING TOSSED
AROUND. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT
WILL LIKELY HAPPEN THIS YEAR.
DO YOU THINK.
>> THE HERD IMMUNITY IS A
FASCINATING TURN. OF COURSE,
WHAT IT MEANS IS YOU GET ENOUGH
PEOPLE WHO ARE IMMUNE BUT THE
VIRUS OR AN INFECTION IN THE
COMMUNITY SORT OF PETERS OUT
BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH
SUSCEPTIBLE PEOPLE AROUND.
WELL, WE SEE A HERD IMMUNITY
THIS YEAR AS WE MOVE OUR
VACCINATION NUMBERS UP. WE WILL
SEE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN HERD
IMMUNITY.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
MATHEMATICS BEHIND THIS
INFECTION. IT LOOKS LIKE WE’VE
GOT TO HAVE ABOUT 60% OF
PEOPLE.
SO RIGHT NOW WE’RE PROBABLY IN
THE UNITED STATES SOMEWHERE
AROUND 12 TO 15%. SO FOR
LOOKING TO ACHIEVE. HERD
IMMUNITY PURELY ON THE BASIS
OF INFECTION. WE’VE GOT TO GO
THROUGH WHAT WE’VE BEEN THROUGH
3 MORE TIMES.
THIS IS WHY THE VACCINE IS SO
IMPORTANT. MY PREDICTION IS
THAT WE WON’T GET OVER THE 60%
MARK UNTIL SOME TIME IN 2022,
BUT IT WILL ALL DEPEND ON HOW
EAGERLY PEOPLE EXCEPT
VACCINATION.
>> YOU KNOW, I HAD SO MANY.
I HAVE UNITY AND AND TRIED TO
ACHIEVE JUST THAT. THERE ARE
ALSO ISSUES THAT COME WITH HERD
IMMUNITY. AND OBVIOUSLY ONE
OF THOSE STEP TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE
WITH TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERD
IMMUNITY.
>> IF WE ACHIEVE HERD IMMUNITY
AND CAN BE ACHIEVED IN 2 WAYS.
COURSE. JUST PEOPLE GETTING
WILD-TYPE DISEASE AND THEN
BECOMING IMMUNE OR PEOPLE
BECOMING VACCINATED AND
BECOMING IMMUNE THAT WAY.
THE TROUBLE OF GETTING WELL
TYPE DISEASES. OF COURSE, IT
CARRIES ITS COST. PEOPLE END UP
IN THE HOSPITAL. PEOPLE END
UP DYING AND SO THAT’S A TOUGH,
TOUGH WAY TO GET HERD IMMUNITY.
THE OTHER PROBLEM IS WE DON’T
KNOW
HOW DURABLE IMMUNITY TO NATURAL
INFECTION IS DOESN’T LAST FOR
MONTHS. THIS LAST 4 YEARS.
WE DON’T KNOW YET.
THE FLIP SIDE IS THE VACCINE OR
THE VACCINE GIVES YOU A BIT OF
A SORE ARM NOTE, NO DOUBT ABOUT
IT. I’VE HAD MY 2 DOSES AND MY
RIGHT ARM IS A LITTLE SORE
TODAY. BUT HER BEATS THE HECK
OUT OF HAVING COVID. BUT WE
KNOW THAT MY ANTIBODY RESPONSE,
EVERYBODY’S ANTIBODY RESPONSE
TO THE VACCINE IS VERY, VERY
GOOD.
SUPPOSE THE OTHER CHALLENGE
HERE IS IS A QUESTION OF CRIME.
WE ALL WANT TO GET BACK TO OUR
LIVES. PREPANDEMIC. I WANT TO
EAT IN RESTAURANTS. I WANT TO
GO SEE FAMILIES.
IT’S TAKEN US A YEAR TO GET 15%
OF PEOPLE INFECTED SO FAR GOAL
IS TO GET TO 60%. THAT’S GOING
TO BE SEVERAL HERE WHERE WE CAN
VACCINATE. IT’S ALL DEPENDENT
ON HOW QUICKLY WE VACCINATE
RIGHT.
>> THE FACTS, THE VACCINATION
ROLLOUT HAS HAD ITS CHALLENGES.
NO DOUBT IS THIS HOW YOU
EXPECTED IT TO GO AS WE AS WE
KIND OF GO BACK TO DECEMBER IN
OUR MONTH INTO IT. GIVE OR TAKE
IS HOW YOU EXPECTED IT TO GO.
>> GROWING UP BACK SCENES IS
ALWAYS
TRICKY BUSINESS AND IT’S A IT’S
A COMPLICATED PROCESS THAT
BEGINS WITH THE MANUFACTURING
PROCESS. THE DELIVERY PROCESS
AND OF COURSE, A LOT OF IT’S A
MARKETING ISSUE AS WELL.
SO I’M NOT SURPRISED THAT THERE
HAVE BEEN SOME BUMPS ALONG THE
WAY. THIS IS A
LEARNING PROCESS. WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER THAT WE HAVEN’T DONE
THIS KIND OF IMMUNIZATION IN
THE COMMUNITY.
ALMOST SINCE POPE LEO DAYS.
SO THIS IS A NEW THING FOR US.
I THINK WE’RE LEARNING WE’RE
GOING TO GET BETTER.
>> 65 PLUS HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
PLUS, FIRST RESPONDERS.
>> AND ALSO PEOPLE LIVING IN
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES AND
LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES.
>> THOSE ARE WHO CAN GET
VACCINATED RIGHT NOW. DOCTORS
AS WELL. AND.
IS THAT TOO LARGE BECAUSE I I
THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
AN ISSUE WITH.
THEY LOVE AND LONG-TERM CARE
FACILITIES ARE NOT FULLY
VACCINATED YET 85 PLUS, ARE
OBVIOUSLY BASED ON THE RESEARCH
AND THE DATA, THE MOST
SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS VIRUS IN
EFFECT IT HAS. AND SO THE
ROLLOUT HAS FOCUSED ON A LOT
OF PEOPLE IN OTHER WORDS,
SHOULD THE 85 PLUS COMMUNITY
AND PEOPLE LIVING IN LONG-TERM
CARE FACILITIES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN VACCINATED BY THIS POINT.
>> THIS IS A DISCUSSION THAT’S
ACTUALLY HAPPENING AT THE
NATIONAL LEVEL. HOW SHOULD
WE PRIORITIZE? AND OF COURSE,
THERE ARE MANY VOICES AT PLAY
HERE. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY
WE SHOULDN’T BE NICE HEALTH
CARE PROVIDERS BECAUSE THIS IS
WHAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE TO KEEP
THE HOSPITALS OPEN.
SHOULD WE IMMUNIZE PEOPLE OVER
65 1ST BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
PEOPLE THAT END UP IN
THE HOSPITAL. AND THIS IS PART
OF THAT THE SCIENCE AND ART OF
OF
PUBLIC HEALTH DIFFERENT STATES
ARE ARE DOING IT DIFFERENT
WAYS. THE CDC HAS SOME
RECOMMENDATIONS. FLORIDA HAS
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON HOW WE’RE
GOING TO PRIORITIZE. SO IT’S
GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO
WATCH ALL THIS BALL OUT AND SEE
HOW IT GOES.
>> SO, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SEES
HOW THE VACCINE AFFECTS ONE
PERSON, THIS ONE OFF CASE
OF SOMEONE MAYBE GOING TO INTO
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK OR THEIR
BODY REACTS IN A CERTAIN WAY
AND SAUCE. THEY ARE NOW.
WORRIED ABOUT GETTING THE
VACCINE THEMSELVES.
IT’S SUCH A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
OF OF CASES WHERE SOMEONE
REACTS IN A CERTAIN WAY.
CAN YOU CAN YOU PUT THAT INTO
POSSIBLY. CERTAINLY HAPPY TO.
>> SO YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THE ADVERSE EVENTS, THE SERIOUS
ADVERSE EVENTS ARE VERY RARE.
I MEAN, THE VERY FACT THAT
THESE SEVERE ALLERGIC EPISODES
MAKE IT INTO THE NEWSPAPER
TELLS YOU HOW RARE THEY ARE.
BUT THERE’S ANOTHER WAY I WANT
PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT THIS.
THERE IS IT’S IT’S LIKE
RISK-BENEFIT, RIGHT FOR YOU TO
GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE TO
THE GROCERY STORE. THERE IS
THE DEFINITE.
AND DOUBLE BENEFIT THAT YOU’RE
GOING TO GET GROCERIES FOR THE
WEEK. THERE IS
A SMALL BUT REAL RISK THAT YOU
WILL BUY INTO FLAMING COLLISION
ON THE WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE
OR BACK. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT
BACKS, A NATION HERE. WHAT
WE’RE DOING IS COMPARING THE
PROVEN REAL BENEFIT. A VIEW NOT
GETTING COVID-19.
WITH THE VERY RARE AND OFTEN
THE THEORETICAL RISK OF
SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED.
>> COMING UP. DOCTOR ALEXANDER
WILL EXPLAIN WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
THE NEW STRAIN OF THE VIRUS AND
WHAT IT MEANS GOING FORWARD IN
THE GHT AGAINST COVID-
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH JUSTIN WARMOTH. WELCOME BACK.
AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE GET THE
PFIZER OR MODERNA VACCINE.
OTHER COMPANIES LIKE JOHNSON
AND JOHNSON ARE HOPING THEIR
VERSIONS WILL GET FDA
AUTHORIZATION SOON. AND WHILE
WE’VE SEEN THE DEMAND HIGH SO
FAR.
>> HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE STILL
CONCERNED. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE
GET VACCINATED ONCE THEY HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY. I TALKED ABOUT
THAT HESITANCY WITH NEMOURS
HOSPITAL. DOCTOR KENNETH
ALEXANDER.
AS MORE VACCINE BECOMES
AVAILABLE. AND AND SOME OTHER
COMPANIES HOPEFULLY GET THAT
FDA APPROVAL.
>> AND A WIDER WATER POPULATION
WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE
VACCINE. THERE ARE STILL GOING
TO BE THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE
HESITANT TO DO SO. AND SO AS
SOMEONE WHO HAS RECEIVED BOTH
DOSES. WHAT WOULD YOUR MESSAGE
BE TO THOSE FOLKS WHO MIGHT
BE HESITANT.
>> 2 PARTS TO THAT ANSWER A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HESITANCY
IS NORMAL ACCEPTING VACCINATION
IS IS NOT LIKE BUYING A
NEW CAR OR PERHAPS THAT THAT
NEW IPHONE SOME PEOPLE WANT IT
THE MINUTE IT COMES OUT.
SOME PEOPLE WANT TO WAIT FOR A
LITTLE WHILE TO SEE THAT THERE
ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
THE NEW MODEL HERE AND SOME
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BUY IT
UNTIL THE 3RD OR 4TH MODEL
YEAR. SO THIS IS THIS IS PART
OF OF HUMAN NATURE.
I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING IS
THAT WE REMIND PEOPLE TO KEEP
CONSIDERING VACCINATION.
THAT TURNED IT AROUND AND SAY
WELL, WHY DID I CHOOSE TO
ACCEPT VACCINATION. A NUMBER
OF REASONS TO PROTECT MYSELF.
PROTECT MY FAMILY TO PROTECT
MY PATIENTS.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT. I WANT TO
GET BACK TO THE LIFESTYLE THAT
I HAVE IN 2019. I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO GO TO RESTAURANTS.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE
MOVIE THEATER. I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO GO TO CONCERTS AND THEN
AS I LOOK AROUND AT OUR
ECONOMY, ESPECIALLY HERE IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA. I HAVE A LOT
OF FRIENDS THAT WORK AND THE
DIFFERENT THEME PARKS OR OR
DRIVE FOR UBER OR THIS KIND
OF THING. A LOT
OF WORK. AND SO I THINK IT’S
ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE REALIZE
THAT ACCEPTING VACCINATION.
PATRIOTIC. THIS IS WHAT WE DO
TO GET OUR COUNTRY BACK UP AND
RUNNING THE WAY WE WANT IT TO
BE.
>> ON THE TOP OF THE VACCINES.
PFIZER MODERNA BOTH APPROVED.
>> AND THEY.
>> USE THEM ARE IN IT.
BUT EXPLAIN THAT TO THE VIEWER
IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE AND
HOW THESE VACCINES MIGHT DIFFER
FROM OTHER VACCINES THAT THAT
THEY’RE USED TO OR ARE
ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING.
>> THIS IS VERY EXCITING
TECHNOLOGY. THESE MRNA
VACCINES.
SO THE FIRST KIND OF VACCINE,
THE MOST COMMON VACCINE AS WE
HAVE OUR ESSENTIALLY PROTEIN
BACK TO.
YOU KNOW, EITHER TAKE THE WHOLE
VIRUS AND KILL IT OR THEY’LL
TAKE A SUBUNIT FROM A VIRUS
AND VERIFY
SPECIFIC PROTEIN GIVE THAT TO
SOMEBODY WE MOUNT AN IMMUNE
RESPONSE AND WE ARE PROTECTED.
THE TROUBLE WITH THAT
TECHNOLOGY IS THAT IT TAKES
YEARS TO DEVELOP. AND WE DIDN’T
HAVE
YEARS HERE. SO WHAT THE MODERNA
AND PFIZER PEOPLE HAVE DONE IS
USED AN ALREADY EXISTING
TECHNOLOGY. IT’S ALREADY WELL
STUDIED.
WHERE THEY TAKE A LITTLE PIECE
OF MESSENGER RNA. AND YOU’LL
REMEMBER THAT MESSENGER RNA IS
WHAT YOUR BODY NORMALLY USES
AS A BLUEPRINT FOR PROTEIN.
SO INSTEAD OF THIS PIECE OF
MESSENGER RNA COMING OUT OF
OUR NUCLEUS AND INTO THE RIDE
IS OPEN TO MAKE A PROTEIN HERE.
WHAT WE’RE DOING IS WE’RE
GIVING THAT.
MRNA BLUEPRINT TO THE RIBOSOME
AND IT’S MAKING A SMALL AMOUNT
OF VIRAL PROTEIN IN THIS CASE.
THIS I THINK THEN WE ARE MAKING
OUT OF BODY. THE SPIKE PROTEIN.
BUT IN MANY WAYS THIS IS
PROBABLY THE MOST NATURAL FORM
OF IMMUNIZATION. YOU CAN THINK
OF BECAUSE WE’RE USING THE
BODY’S OWN MACHINERY TO MAKE
THE PROTEIN.
ON THE OTHER ONES DOWN THE PIKE
THAT ARE STILL WAITING ON
APPROVAL.
>> USING THAT SAME MESSENGER
RNA. INOW OR THE MESSENGER
RNA VACCINES.
>> A VARIETY OF OTHER
MECHANISMS IN THE PIPELINE.
THERE ARE SOME COMPANIES THAT
ARE DOING THE MORE TRADITIONAL
PROTEIN VACCINE WHERE THERE
MAKING A PURIFIED FORM OF THE
SPIKE PROTEIN AND WILL MAKE
ANTIBODIES
TO THAT. THERE ARE OTHER
COMPANIES THAT HAVE MADE 10 NEW
WAITED FORMS OF THE VIRUS
ESSENTIALLY CRIPPLED THE VIRUS
SO THAT IT DOESN’T REPLICATE
WELL AND SHOULDN’T MAKE
YOU SICK. THERE ARE OTHER
PEOPLE, OTHER COUNTRY COMPANIES
RATHER WHO HAVE HAVE MADE.
VIRUS CARRIERS ESSENTIALLY NON
PATHOGENIC VIRUSES THAT WILL
EXPRESS THE SPIKE PROTEIN SO
THAT IN THE END THEY’RE ALL
GOING TO THE SAME POINT
MAKING HER HELPING YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM MAKES ANTIBODIES TO THE
SPIKE PROTEIN AND WE KNOW THAT
SPIKE PROTEIN ANTIBODIES OR
WHAT PROTECT YOU.
>> AS I PUT A BUTTON ON ON THE
MODERNA AND PFIZER VACCINES.
WHAT IS APPROVED RIGHT NOW THE
BOTTOM LINE IS YOU CAN STILL
BECOME INFECTED WITH COVID-19,
BUT IT WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME
EFFECT ON YOU. CORRECT.
>> BUT WE’RE STILL LEARNING
ABOUT THIS. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT,
THERE’S A TRUISM IN THE WORLD.
THE VACCINES, THE VACCINES
DON’T ALWAYS PREVENT INFECTION.
BUT THEY ATTENUATE THE SEAS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY DON’T A
100%. KEEP YOU FROM GETTING
INFECTED, BUT THEY 100% KEEP
YOU OUT OF
THE HOSPITAL. AND THIS IS WHAT
WE’RE SAYING WITH PFIZER’S AND
MODERNA’S VACCINES. NOW DATA
ARE NOW COMING OUT THAT
IN FACT, THESE VACCINES ALSO
PREVENT ASYMPTOMATIC INFECTION.
SO WATCH THIS SPACE IS GOING TO
BE SOME EXCITING NEWS IN THE
WEEKS TO COME LOOKING FOR DID
NOT.
>> THIS NEW STRAIN AND PEOPLE
SEE MUTATED AND IT FREAKS THEM
OUT DRY. WE DEALT WITH ONE
STRAIN HAS SEEN AS ENOUGH, BUT
THIS SECOND STRAIN OF COVID, AS
WE’VE SEEN SOME COUNTRIES
REALLY DEALING WITH IT WORSE
THAN WE ARE CURRENTLY RIGHT
NOW.
WHY IS THIS SECOND STRAIN
CONCERNING TO YOU.
>> THEY HAVE SEEN THESE KNOW OR
OR MAYBE, THOUGH WORD BETTER.
THAT MUTATED IS INVOLVED
STRINGS. COVID BOTH IN NOT
FIRST IDENTIFIED IN IN THE
UNITED KINGDOM AND ALSO
IDENTIFIED IN SOUTH AFRICA AND
THESE ARE STRAINS WHERE THE
REAL DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY
ARE MORE INFECTIOUS. THEY
TRANSMIT MORE EFFECTIVE.
THEY DON’T CAUSE MORE SEVERE
DISEASE, BUT THEY TRANSMIT FROM
PERSON TO PERSON MORE
EFFECTIVELY. AND IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF THE VIRUS
IS BOLTED TO COPY ITSELF.
THAT MAKES SENSE. RIGHT.
THAT’S WHAT A VIRUS SHOULD TRY
AND DO IS TRANSMITTED MORE.
THE FACT OF LIFE. BUT THIS
DOESN’T COME AS ANY GREAT
SURPRISE. BUT THERE’S 2 BITS OF
GOOD NEWS. ONE, THESE VIRUSES
DON’T APPEAR TO CAUSE MORE
SEVERE DISEASE AND NUMBER 2,
THEY STILL APPEARED TO BE
AMENABLE TO PREVENTION BY THE
VACCINES THAT ARE UNDER
DEVELOPMENT AND THAT WE HAVE
AVAILABLE.
>> I WANT IT. I WANT TO ASK
YOU ABOUT
CHILDREN AND OBVIOUSLY THAT’S
YOUR SPECIALTY AND. CASES AMONG
CHILDREN.
WE’VE WE HAVE SEEN CASES WE
REPORT ON CASE OF KIDS NEEDING
TO BE HOSPITALIZED BECAUSE OF
COVID-19. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS
VIRUS AND HOW IT AFFECTS
CHILDREN.
>> HERE. WE HAVE SOME VERY GOOD
NEWS IN FLORIDA. THERE HAVE NOW
BEEN OVER 150,000 CHILDREN
DIAGNOSED WITH COVID-19
INFECTION.
AND GIVEN THAT HUGE NUMBER.
IT’S VERY IMPRESSIVE THAT THERE
HAVE ONLY BEEN 9 FATALITIES.
SO CHILDREN.
AT THAT EXACT OPPOSITE END OF
THE SPECTRUM OF THE PEOPLE OVER
85. KIDS DO REALLY WELL.
AND SO WHAT I TELL PARENTS WHEN
THEY’RE THINKING ABOUT GETTING
VACCINATED FOCUS ON THE ADULTS.
IT’S A WAY FOR SCHOOLS WHEN
KIDS GO
TO SCHOOL, THE KIDS ARE GOING
TO BE FINE. FOCUS ON THE
TEACHERS AND THE ADULT IN THE
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
NOW, WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN
THE HOSPITAL OR A FEW KIDS WITH
ACUTE COVID ESSENTIALLY LIKE
A PNEUMONIA. WHAT WE’RE SAYING
MORE COMMONLY OUR CHILDREN WITH
THIS MYSTERIOUS POST INFECTIOUS
INFLAMMATORY SYNDROME
MULTISYSTEM INFLAMMATORY
SYNDROME IN CHILDREN OR AM I A
S A.
AND MORE AS WE’VE SEEN ABOUT 20
OF THESE KIDS SO FAR AND THE
GOOD NEWS IS THAT WHILE MANY
OF THEM COME IN VERY, VERY
SICK. MANY OF THEM ENDING UP IN
OUR ICU. ALL OF THEM HAVE GONE
HOME AND DOING WELL.
>> SO MY THANKS TO DOCTOR
ALEXANDER. FIRST TIME THIS WEEK
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ON
COVID-19 AND VACCINE
DISTRIBUTION JUST HEAD TO CLICK
ORLANDO, DOT COM SLASH
CORONAVI
CORONAVIS. I’M JUSTIN
