MOMENT.
>> 30,000.
NO ONE THOUGHT THEY WOULD SEE
IT.
THE NINTH TIME SINCE THE START
OF 2020.
THE 48th THAT WE BROKE THE
RECORDS DURING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
THE PRESIDENT SPOKE FOR A MINUTE
AND DID NOT TAKE QUESTIONS.
HE PERFORMED THE PARDON OF THE
THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
ANOTHER BRIEF APPEARANCE.
THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT TAKEN
QUESTIONS SINCE THE ELECTION WAS
CALLED IN JOE BIDEN’S FAVOR.
WE SEE WE ARE UP 454 POINTS
RIGHT NOW AS WE SAID ABLE TO
STAY ABOVE THE 30,000 INVESTORS
SEEM TO BE ENCOURAGED ON THE
VACCINES AND THE NEWS THAT THE
PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION IS
MOVING AHEAD.
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE
LOOKING FOR THE BEST WAYS TO
STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19.
NOW OAKLAND IS OFFERING A
BIO-BUTTON TO MONITOR THE HEALTH
OF STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY.
PAULA TUTMAN JOINS US TO SHOW US
WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT WORKS.
PAULA?
>> Reporter: HERE IT IS.
IT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A VERY
LARGE BUTTON.
IT MAY BE SMALL BUT IT HOLDS BIG
HOPES FOR OAKLAND UNIVERSITY.
THEY STARTED KIND OF HINTING
THEY WANTED THIS TO BE MANDATORY
BUT THEY MET WITH RESISTANCE AND
THEY ARE ENCOURAGING ALL OF THE
STUDENT BODY AND FACULTY TO TEST
IT OUT.
WHAT WOULD GEORGE ORWELL SAY IF
THEY SAW THE STUDENTS WEARING
THE BIO BUTTON SOMETHING THAT
ETHAN STRUGGLED WITH WHEN HE WAS
OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE TESTING OUT
THE TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD HELP
STOP COMMUNITY SPREAD OF
COVID-19 AS AN EARLY ALERT
SYSTEM.
>> THE IDEA OF HAVING IT BEEN
MANDATORY FOR CERTAIN STUDENTS
OR ALL STUDENTS, THAT WAS A BIG
ETHICAL CONCERN.
THE BUTTON IS A DEVICE THAT
STICKS TO YOUR CHEST WITH STICKY
TABS.
IT MEASUREs VITALS ON THROUGH
AN APP AND ALERT YOU OF CHANGES
IN THE VITALS LIKE A SPIKE IN
TEMPERATURE OR HEART RATE.
>> CAN YOU TRACK THE HEART RATE
AND SKIN TEMPERATURE ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
COULD YOU IDENTIFY PEOPLE
GETTING INFECTIONS OF ANY KIND,
FLU, COLD.
>> THE EARLY WARNING DEVICE CAN
ALERT, TAKE STUDENTS OUT OF
CIRCULATION WHILE THEY WAIT TO
GET FINAL DETERMINATION FROM A
TEST.
AND WITHOUT THEM CIRCULATING
UNKNOWINGLY BEFORE THEY REALIZED
THEY MAY NEED A TEST.
IT MAY HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF
INDICATING INFECTIOUS PROCESS
GOING ON BEFORE A PCR TEST.
>>> IF YOU ARE EXPOSED TO
SOMEONE WITH COVID AND GET
TESTED THAT DAY.
YOU WILL BE NEGATIVE AND IF THE
BUTTON CAN CATCH THAT AND BEFORE
THE TEST CAN YOU TAKE YOURSELF
OUT OF CIRCULATION.
>> IT GOES TO YOU AND THE CLINIC
YOU REGISTERED WITH, FOR THOSE
PRIVACY ISSUES.
THOSE PARTICIPATING HAVE ALREADY
WORKED THROUGH THEM.
>> I’M HAPPY I HAVE SOMETHING
THAT IS A BIT MORE SENSITIVE TO
THE CHANGE IN MY LIFE COMPARED
TO THE REGULAR SCREENING WITH
JUST THE THREE QUESTIONS, A
FEVER, COUGH, YOU HAVE BEEN
EXPOSED.
>> YOUNG PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH IT
TAKING IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE IT
DOES NOT AFFECT THEM AS MUCH AS
IT WOULD THE OLDER PEOPLE.
I HOPE IT CREATES A MINDFUL
ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE
CHECKING THEIR SYMPTOMS AND THAT
SORT OF THING.
>> Reporter: SO THE BUTTONS ARE
NOW ON CAMPUS, THEY ARE BEING
TESTED.
THE HOPE IS THAT THE STUDENTS
TESTING THEM WILL FIND THEY ARE
NOT SOCIALLY INVASIVE AND THEY
DO HELP STOP THE CAMPUS SPREAD
THAT IS A CONCERN AND THEN OF
COURSE THEY WILL TELL THEIR
FRIENDS AND TELL THEIR FRIENDS
AND TELL THEIR FRIENDS AND THAT
THESE WILL BE IN WIDE USE BY
NEXT SEMESTER, KAREN.
>> HOW LONG DOES EACH BUTTON AND AND THEY ARE FREE, FREE, FREE
AND THEY ARE FREE, FREE, FREE
AND ORDERED THEM AND AND THEY
LAST THEY STAY ON.
AND SHOWER WITH THEM.
AND VERY INTERESTING.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>>> STILL AHEAD HERE AND TALK
ABOUT A LIQUOR CRACK DOWN AND OF
THE YEAR.
AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S ACCOMPLICE
IS PUT IN ISOLATION.
WHY SHE CANNOT SEE ANYONE,
INCLUDING HER OWN ATTORNEY.
WHAT DOES THANKSGIVING LOOK
LIKE. THE FORECAST IS MINUTES AWAY.
