14
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: have you been holding up with them with the coronavirus.

15
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: It's busy. So my specialty is infectious diseases, so people

16
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: have a lot of questions. So I'm getting questions from

17
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: my pastor my friends, my family, people, I work with, patients,

18
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: position everybody, so people want to know as much information

19
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: as possible. So it's dizzy. I know that's long. Thank

20
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: you so much for checking the time, because I can

21
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: only imagine how busy you are but everybody and they dad,

22
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: they got quite So my first question for you is

23
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: for those that don't know what exactly is in an

24
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: effectious disease doctor, Oh yeah, perfect. So I absolutely love

25
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: my job. So we deal with all Obviously, we deal

26
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: with infections, so specifically we deal with diseases that are

27
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: caused by bacteria, viruses, parasite, amba's all the different microscopic organisms.

28
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: You can think of diseases that are caused by microscopic organisms.

29
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: This is what we treat. So the biggest thing is

30
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: this coronavirus, which happens to be an RNA virus. So

31
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what we do and it's part of

32
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: our specialty. So what are like something like some responsibilities

33
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: of of infections disease not there? Yeah, so that's actually

34
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: a really good question. So it all depends on what

35
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: setting you decide to practice them. So if you are

36
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: primarily seeing patients in the hospital, you're the infectious disease consultants.

37
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: So basically the medicine team or surgery team, for example,

38
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: has an infection question about a patient. For example, the

39
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: patient has bacteria in the blood. How do we manage this?

40
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: What type of antibots? Do they need to be on

41
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: how long do they need to be on antibiotics? Or

42
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: another common question that patient has fever and I don't

43
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: know why they have fever, So that's a common question

44
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: we have the privilege of answering. So that's in the hospital.

45
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: So outside of the hospital, we also see patients in clinics.

46
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: So people who leave the hospital and needs to be

47
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: on antibiotics for a few weeks, we typically see them

48
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: in clinics. We also treat patients with subrculosis it's HIV

49
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: which with other sexually transmitted diseases who um with. We

50
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: treat people who because of an impair immune system, maybe

51
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: they're on cancer treatment or for example, and they have

52
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: an infection will treatment in clinic um. The other aspect

53
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: of what an infectionous disease factor does is infection control,

54
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: so that's in the hospital and outside the hospital. So

55
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: in the hospitals, the infections infection control positions, usually infectious

56
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: disease position is someone who deals with any outbreaks of

57
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: infection in the hospital and really does everything in their

58
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: power to prevent people from getting infection. So with the

59
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic that's going on, want we in infection control

60
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: are to me, everything in our power to keep people

61
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: safe from the virus are negative? Wait, so that we're

62
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: gonna get there? Okay? Because I want people understand more

63
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: about your job and what you do, because a lot

64
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: of people never heard of an infectious disease doctor. So okay,

65
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: what are some misconceptions about your job? Oh? So the

66
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: most common thing is people think we only treat HIV

67
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: infectually transmitted to eases. So I think that's what when

68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: when you hear about infectious diseases, that's the first thing

69
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: you think about. So, yeah, yeah, we treat that, but

70
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: that's only one that's only one sup things that doctor

71
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: can give. Are you often afraid to tell people what

72
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: you do? Because I know a lot of times people

73
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: here what you do as far as dealing with viruses?

74
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Do people kind of like tendant, kind of like shy

75
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: away from having conversations with you because of that spirit? Ah? No,

76
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: I love my job, so I'm more than happy to

77
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: tell anybody what I do, and it gives me an

78
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to educate people who may not have experienced or

79
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: may not have seen a physician that practices that practices

80
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: infectious diseases. So I loved any opportunity that I have

81
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: to speak about what I do and kind of broaden

82
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: people's thoughts. Um, you know what we do and what man,

83
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: do you want to become an infection of disease author? Okay,

84
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna make a long story shirt. So, um,

85
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I really wasn't interesting. I knew I wanted to be

86
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: a physician by the time I graduated from high school,

87
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to be a doctor. I didn't

88
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: know what type. I had no direction. So um, Unfortunately, well,

89
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: I went to the school in New Orleans and unfortunately, yeah,

90
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: so unfortunately I was there for Hurricane Katrina had to

91
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: be evacuated, and so once I got home to Detroit,

92
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: I was a biology major, just like biology Creement, and

93
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: so we had to take a science class and I

94
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: decided to take microbiology, not really knowing what it was,

95
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: but I said, hey, let's let's let me try to

96
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: take it. So I absolutely loved it, like I it

97
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: was like I hadn't experienced that before, like in college,

98
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: like a class I absolutely loved. I love to read

99
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: the textbook, I love to go to class, and it

100
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: was taught by a lot of infectious to these doctors,

101
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, oh, you know, I'm learning about

102
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: staff orios and I get to see it, you know,

103
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I grow in on my plate and I get to

104
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: learn what type of j Jesus is. Cause it so

105
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: that that was the turning point for me and made

106
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: me think, okay, well let me explore, let me figure

107
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: out how I can maybe do this for a living.

108
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: And so that kind of started my journey into grad

109
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: school med school. Um. And now if that's just a

110
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: social nice So my friend, she's a nurse, she's a

111
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: I think she's an artist. I call her Noodles. She

112
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: wanted me to ask you this question because she always

113
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: gets some feed between you and an epidemologist. She wants

114
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: to know what is the difference between the two. Okay,

115
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, I actually want to be an effectious to

116
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: use epidemiologists. So this is very good question. So it's

117
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: the training. So epithemiologist typically will go to School of

118
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: Public Health, get a Mattress of Public Health and with

119
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: with a focus and epithemiology, so they get a matterss

120
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: degree and that so some people stop there in regards

121
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: to epidemiologists and work for either the government to CDC

122
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: or work for the local state department. Some people will

123
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: go on to get a dr pH, which is a

124
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: doctor's degree in epidemiology and they have like very specific focus.

125
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: So that's that's the epidemiology tread. In regards to an

126
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: inspectious disease physition, we do med school residency and affectious

127
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: disease fellowships, so before certified for examples who were doing AULT,

128
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: before certified in UM intro medicine, and then board certified

129
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: in UM adult infectious diseases. So just because you're one

130
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're an expert in the other. However, both

131
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the epidemiologists and the infectious disease doctor has to know

132
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: about each other's feels like, the infectius disease doctor has

133
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: to understand the epidemiology and the epidemiologists has to understand

134
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: how people get infected, transmission, so forth and so much. Yeah,

135
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: and it all depends on what you're doing in terms

136
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: of as an infectious disease doctor, how involved in the

137
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: epidemiology you're gonna be it. So if you're just mainly

138
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: dealing with one on one patients some of the like,

139
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: well I shouldn't say that, Like I think you as

140
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: in both feels. Whether you're an epideeologists or infectious disease doctor,

141
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: you have to know about the other. Like, yeah, it's

142
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: a lot of overlap. They're not the same, but it's

143
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of overlap. It's like a then diagrams, you

144
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: know that center pieces kind of you do a lot

145
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: of the same things, have to know a lot of

146
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: the same things, but they're two different fields. All right,

147
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: knew those got your questions, got your answer. Okay, So

148
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: now what everybody want to talk about the coronavirus. So

149
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: what exactly is the coronavirus? Okay, so let me just

150
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: back up. So the coronavirus is an RNA virus that

151
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: pretty much causes a lot of cold like symptoms, specifically fever.

152
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: But the difference is it causes more like issues with

153
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: the ones. So it typically causes fever, shortness of breath, cough,

154
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: body aches, sometimes people have diarrhea and you are really sick.

155
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of patients I've seen with this coronavirus,

156
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: the fatigue is a prominent factor. They're like, look, I

157
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: never felt so old tire in my life, Like it

158
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: just is hard for me to even sit up. So

159
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: that's a very very very prominent factor. And the the

160
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: that's heard about it is people who didn't have problems breathing.

161
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: This is a virus that really attacks the lungs and

162
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: makes you develop issues with breathing. So then so that

163
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: happens in healthy people, So then you take the older

164
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: individual or the person with underlying loan problems, it's an

165
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: even worse disease for those patients. So it's a it's

166
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: a common cold virus, but it's like the common code

167
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: on steroids in my opinion, and it's worse than the flu. Unfortunately.

168
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: So the flu, we know affect millions of people. Let's

169
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: just talk about the United States, so we know every

170
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: year affect millions of people about like twenty thirty thousand

171
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: people's diets of flu every year. A lot of people

172
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: don't know that every year. However, the coronavirus is worse

173
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: in that the mortality is higher, and it makes you

174
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: feel a lot worse because you would say, like in

175
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: the in patience with the flu, if you're young and healthy,

176
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: you feel terrible, but you know you're still able to function,

177
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: you're not being hospitalized. But with the coronavirus, you're feeling

178
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: really bad. And you're getting hospitalized and you're getting really releasedick.

179
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: So that's the difference between the comic colds or the

180
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: blue virus and coronavirus makes the conavirus so powerful. So

181
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: I think that m hmm. I just think that it

182
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: really ramps up the immune like it really um invade

183
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: the lung tissue and kind of um really causes bad disease.

184
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: So so there are many coronaviruses, So look, just I guess,

185
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: let me be a little more specific. So coronavirus is

186
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: just a group of viruses that typically cause up common code.

187
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: But this virus, COVID nineteen is like on steroids. We're

188
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: sleep still don't know a lot about this, Like we're

189
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: still so I'm probably not gonna be able to answer,

190
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: like the type of genesis are, Like what's the specific

191
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: way it's you know, affecting the body. I'm not gonna

192
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: be able to answer that. It's just we see clinically

193
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: that it really causes devastating disease. So when you look at,

194
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: for example, a cat scant of someone's lungs, it's really

195
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: invades and causes a lot of disease, a lot of

196
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: problems with the lungs and that's a lot difference than

197
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: a regular coronavirus. Okay, so there is multiple strands of

198
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. There are multiple types of coronavirus, but the

199
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is the most craziest aggressive one. Yes, yeah,

200
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: but where does the coronavirus come from? Soft? So it

201
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: was first identified in China. So that's what we know

202
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: so far. I think what a life we happen is

203
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: once this pandemic is over, will really be able to

204
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: really do the studies and really do the back pedaling

205
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: in regard to um figuring out day how did this start?

206
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: What could we have done better? I think in this

207
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: while we still have like active cases, while people while

208
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: this is still out of control, that isn't really happening.

209
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: So I like, all I know is like it came.

210
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, first reports were in China and likely that's

211
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: where it started. And unfortunately before anyone, before a broader

212
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: number of people knew that hey this is a problem.

213
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: People travels, and it spread like wildfire. That was my

214
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: next question, like how did it spread so quickly? Because

215
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: I remember being at work and I heard people talking

216
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: about it. But the next thing, you know, we're here. Yeah,

217
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: so the issue is okay, So the issue with coronavirus

218
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: is that you can spread it even if you don't

219
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: have symptoms. So, um, what's different about the coronavirus is

220
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: that you can spread it even if you don't have symptoms.

221
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: So a few days prior to you developing symptoms, your inspection,

222
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: which is different from the food for influenza, the you're

223
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: not infectious until the first day you start having symptoms.

224
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: So that's so then if you're not feeling sick, you're

225
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: still working, you're still interacting with people, and in that

226
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: time that you're not feeling sick, you're spreading the virus

227
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: and not even knowing that you have the virus and

228
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: not even knowing yeah yeah, So this is just so

229
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: one thing you were like, dang, how did this coronavirus?

230
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: So I just want to remind people that remember the

231
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Stars epidemic in the early two thousand's and MIRTH code,

232
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: which is the Middle East Middle East respiratery syndrome virus.

233
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: Those are all coronaviruses also, So this is not our

234
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: first outbreak of a coronavirus. This is just COVID nineteen

235
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: and before that there was mirth code, and before that

236
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: there were stars. So unfortunately, this this family of viruses

237
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: is around and have caused some pretty significant outbreaks, with

238
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: this being the worst. Is this the worst one out

239
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: of them all? Yes, A lot of doctors know about this.

240
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: I knew that this was going to happen eventually, or

241
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: this is something that we just couldn't control. Yes, you know,

242
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: so one thing, one virus that we know is capable

243
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: of doing something like this. It is called influenza. People

244
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: don't we take it seriously. But there was a there's

245
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: a huge outbreak called the Spanish Blue and I believe

246
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen that really wiped out like a really cute,

247
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: like thousands and thousands, really emple and really was defictating. Yes, yes,

248
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: and so we know that the issue with influenza. I

249
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: go into too many details, but this is a virus

250
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: that continues to change. It continues to change. That's why

251
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: we have to get a new vaccine every year because

252
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: it continuously changes. We know already kills you, it kills it.

253
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: It's infects millions of people in the US alone, and

254
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: it kills thousands. So now that's just one example of

255
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: something that has the potential of prosit pandemic. Now we

256
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: know about another family of viruses that can do the

257
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: same thing. The scary part about this is we don't

258
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: have a vaccine against it. At least we have a

259
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: vaccine against influenza. We don't have a coronavirus vaccine. So

260
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: to answer your question, did we know that this was

261
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: a possibility to have a pandemic? The answer is yet,

262
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: because we know, like every geologists in vactas, these doctors

263
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: no have known for years that a pandemic was very,

264
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: very possible. Most people thought it would be influenza. speA

265
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: has influenza, did it in the past? And can you

266
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: just explain what a pandemic is just for those that's

267
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: not that don't understand it. Yeah, so the different Well

268
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: let me just back up. So it's three terms endemic, epidemic,

269
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: and pandemic. So when a disease is endemic, that means

270
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: that it's naturally in that area. Let's use UM. Let's

271
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: use the United States for example. So if the United

272
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: States has a disease, this disease is normally is very

273
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: common to get this disease UM in the United States.

274
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: You know most people have it, do well get better.

275
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: It's you know, and we don't typically see other places.

276
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: We call that an endemic. Okay, we call something an

277
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: epidemic when it's when a disease occurs at a higher

278
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: rate that we normally re see. For example, the measles outbreak,

279
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: so the like measles. Typically, you know, we see very

280
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: few cases in the United States with measles. However, I

281
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: guess late well, early last year, early well, late eighteen,

282
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: early twenty nineteen, we saw a lot of cases, a

283
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: lot more cases in the United States and we normally saw.

284
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: So that's an example of an epidemic. We're seeing a

285
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: higher rate of a higher number of cases than you

286
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: are typically see. Endemic is like, well, we know the

287
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: diseases around and we're not seeing more cases every where normal.

288
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: So handemmic is when you have like epidemic that's affecting

289
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: multiple countries kind of all over the world. And unfortunately

290
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: that's the case with the coronavirus. There are probably a

291
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: few places where it hasn't touched. Unfortunately, well, there are

292
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: countries that hasn't touched. They're either not screening or they

293
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: have no cases. But those are the difference between them

294
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: getting deep. You nervous, not oh thought, well, this is serious.

295
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: Like I just want to stress that, like, this is serious.

296
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: And the social distancing is important because because you know,

297
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: you can't look at somebody and say, oh, they have coronavirus.

298
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that someone could spread it even before

299
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: they have symptoms. Right, So you can be going to

300
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: for example, you can be hanging out with your friend,

301
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: that friend has no symptoms. Two days later they started coughing,

302
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: and by the time they get tested, you probably were

303
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: infected from when you saw them a few days ago.

304
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: So the social distancing is really important so that we

305
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: can slow down the rate of infection, so that we

306
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: can manage the people who are already sick. But why

307
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: do you think people are not taking this seriously? Well,

308
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: I think that I think people aren't taking it seriously

309
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: because they don't. It hasn't personally hit them, so it

310
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: hasn't personally affected them. So I'll give you a specific

311
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of a disease that you know,

312
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: we don't really people don't really take it seriously anymore.

313
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: So think about HIV. Yeah, in the late ages early nineties,

314
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: you you, people were scared because people were dying exactly

315
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: like people had, you know, lesions on their face, so

316
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: they looked sick, and you knew somebody who died, right,

317
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: you knew somebody who died, or you knew of someone

318
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: who knew somebody who died, and so people took it very,

319
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: very very seriously. You know then because you know you

320
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: don't want to die. It's like, unfortunately, for a little bit,

321
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: having HIV was it death because you know, it took

322
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: us time to get good treatment. However, now we have

323
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: really good treatment. We want to people are living full lives.

324
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: We have medications to prevent you from getting HIV, and

325
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: so people really aren't taking this seriously. So people are

326
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: having unprotected sex, um, people are having multiple sex partners,

327
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: which there's no I have no judgments you literally no

328
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: judgment in regards to your sex life. My thing is

329
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: have protected sex, especially if you don't you know, you're

330
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: not in a committed relationship, or you don't really know

331
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: your partners um, if your partner is not committed like he.

332
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, I've seen people get HIV in a

333
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: number of different ways, but people don't really take it

334
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: seriously as far as preventing HIV, and a lot of times,

335
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, because it's so treatable, they're like, oh, whatever,

336
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: have HIV. It's not a big deal for some people.

337
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Now some people that they're like, oh my god, it's

338
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: this big deal, but they don't take it as seriously.

339
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: And so I think that's what's happening with coronavirus. You're

340
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: not seeing the person that's intubated, you know, that's in

341
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the hospital with the breathing tube down their throat, fighting

342
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: for their lives. You're not seeing the patient who you

343
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: know can barely get up because they're so tired, or

344
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: could barely walk to the the bathroom because they can't breathe.

345
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: You don't really see the devastation that this virus has caused.

346
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of people aren't taking it thereously. They're like,

347
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: this is fake news. I don't understand why this is

348
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: so important. But we do see these people, and I

349
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: think I would encourage people to believe us. And you know,

350
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: when we say this is a bad disease that we

351
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: want to do everything in our power to prevent you

352
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: from getting that's why we want you to to isolate.

353
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: It's if there are multiple like reports like on social media,

354
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: people are you know, face timing or like doing Facebook life.

355
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: From the I see this saying, look, this is serious,

356
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you social do social distancing. You

357
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: don't want this disease because it's really not a joke.

358
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: And before it's I'm like, I think people also think

359
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: about it as the age thing. So initially, yeah, initially

360
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: in Washington, a lot of the um first patients to

361
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: pass from this disease were old, so they're like, it's

362
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: gonna expect old people. But then now we're saying, no,

363
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: it's young people too that's causing devastating disease, Like people

364
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: in their twenties, thirties, even people in their forties. You know,

365
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: I that presence of internal medicine. People in their forties,

366
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: thirties and forties aren't really coming to the hospital. It's

367
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: people who are older. But these are the people who

368
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: are getting really, really sick too, in addition to people

369
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: who have underlying health conditions like diabetes, um lung disease, cancer,

370
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: so forth. They go, so, how long does this type

371
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: what is symptoms to appear? So I don't have like

372
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: a well, you mean, what's the like from the time

373
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: you're exposed to the time you have symptoms. Yeah, so, um,

374
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't really have like a specific It can be

375
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: up to a week. It can be less than that.

376
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: But I say, like us, a week before, um, you

377
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: start having symptoms if you give the infection. So fourth okay,

378
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: So the fourteen days, it can be up to fourteen

379
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: days too. I think that's the safe thing. Um, but

380
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: most people are going to be within a week, but

381
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: it can be up the fourteen day. So it depends

382
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: on your local state department. A lot of times if

383
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: you were exposed, they're asking you to quarantine for fourteen days,

384
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: um and watch this you if you have symptoms. US

385
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: just being on the safe side to make sure that

386
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: you're okay. So what is the stats of a vaccine

387
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: being created? So I don't think anybody should be relying

388
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: on the vaccine to secure this thing. Unfortunately, I think

389
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: that the vaccine is going to come at the end

390
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: of the speccing vaccine opinion. It takes time to make

391
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: because it takes time to make a vaccine. So the

392
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: issue is that this virus is muticating and you don't

393
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: want to just shell out anything. You have to first

394
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: of all, make a vaccine that is going to prevent

395
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: infection with this virus. Who you want to make sure

396
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: that the vaccine is safe. I'm sure all of the

397
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: people who have some skepticism about vaccines or who may

398
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: you know that all of these are important. Well, it's

399
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: important to everybody, but especially it's we're into UM. You know,

400
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: if we don't want anyone to have any adverse reactions

401
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: or negative reactions, because that's true, like people do have

402
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: like allergic reactions or side effects from vaccines, but even

403
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: the ones that we say are very easily so we

404
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: don't want to exactly, so we don't And so that's true,

405
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to say that that's a lot

406
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: that is true. You know. Unfortunately, there are you know,

407
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: some a very very very small amount of people will

408
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: have some sort of reaction to UM may have a

409
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: reaction to vaccine. So in light of that, and these

410
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: are vaccines that we've used for a long time, we

411
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: don't want to create a new vaccine and not really

412
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: vet it and not really testing make sure the safe

413
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: with people. So I think that it's just gonna take

414
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: months and rely on the vaccine is very unrealistic. I

415
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: think that eventually we will have a vaccine, but to

416
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: rely on the vaccine to combat this pandemic, in my opinion,

417
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: is unrealistic. This is a virus that's self limiting. That

418
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: means that you get you get infected, you get sick,

419
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: but you get better. But most people get better. The

420
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: issue is you're probably asking, what about those people who

421
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: get really really sick happital So for those people, we

422
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: they need more support in regards to you know, medications,

423
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: more breathing and support, but most of those get better.

424
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: Most people get better. Some people get really really sick,

425
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: and some people die. So that's why it's so serious.

426
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: And everything in you know and our power we do

427
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: to prevent people from time, but unfortunately that is happening

428
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: despite our best effort. So, um, what I was good

429
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: where I was WoT is it's gonna be really important

430
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: for us to decrease the number of new people getting

431
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: sick so that people who are sick the virus can

432
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: run its course, they get better and this thing goes away.

433
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Positive for this virus, what should they do or they

434
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: feel like they have the symptoms, that's comment. Okay, so um,

435
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: this is tricky, So let me address first Uh, if

436
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: you feel that you have the coronavirus a COVID nineteen.

437
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: So my number one advice would be to call your

438
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: primary care doctor, or if you don't have a primary

439
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: care doctor, a local walk in clinic. Please do not

440
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: just show up. It's possible. Why is this important because

441
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: they can coordinate testing for you, whether you can come

442
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: at a specific time and place to your prime and

443
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: care doctor's office or to that walk in clinic. The

444
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: reality of the situation is we're in a very very

445
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: um bad testing shortage. It's so in order to test someone,

446
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: it's a couple of things and shortages into fashions. So

447
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: if let's say you came to me, Let's say you

448
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: called me and you told me, Okay, I'm having cause fever,

449
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: body ache and I can't I'm having problemsed breathing. I'm thinking, okay, yes,

450
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: I need to test you. So what I have to

451
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: do is coordinate you come into my office was and

452
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: as soon as you get in, wear a mask, right.

453
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: I'll put a mask on you. Then I have to

454
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: place you in a room, right, and then I have

455
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: to put on school um personal protective equipment, which usually includes,

456
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: and every place is different, some sort of down or

457
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: outer garment a mask, face, shields, gloves their minimum, So

458
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: I have to have that for myself in any nursing staff,

459
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: so at least to sets then, So that's one in

460
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: terms of the attire. Then I have to have the testing,

461
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: the actual swab to do the test, and the container

462
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: to put the swab in. So I'm so you're in

463
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: the room. I go in in my full government I

464
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: talked to you. I do the swab, and then I

465
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: have to send it off. I'm either sending it to

466
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: a commercial lab like Viracord Quest or I'm sending it

467
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: to the Department of Health. The says a process. So

468
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: let me tell you where the breakdowns in this process.

469
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: So all of that has to happen. And then I'm

470
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: going too if I'm gonna evaluate you, if you're not

471
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: thinking not to go to the emergency department, I'm going

472
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: to tell you that you can go home. You have

473
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: to wear a mask. I'm gonna tell you, um to

474
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: just self quarantine. Um, I'm gonna tell you a self quarantine. Right,

475
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: So this is where it breaks down. So let's say

476
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: you call me and okay, I'm like, okay, I think

477
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: you need to be tested, but we we don't have

478
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: any test, I don't have the swap to do the test,

479
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: so then I have to send you somewhere else. Or

480
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: you called me and say, hey, you know, I've done

481
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: so many tests that I've run out of personal protective equipment,

482
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: so I can't do the test here, or you know,

483
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you look, I have a personal protective equipment,

484
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: I have the test, but the Department of Health says

485
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: that we can't test people who are healthy and who

486
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: aren't sick en up to be in the hospital because

487
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: we are running out of test and we only are

488
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: prioritizing people who are working with patients, like health care workers,

489
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: the elder members, and hospitalizations. This is the big, big profit.

490
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: So all of those steps. I have to have the

491
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: personal protective equipment, I have to have the test, I

492
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: have to be able to send them to the Department

493
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: of Health or the local labs, and all of those

494
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: things have to work perfectly and be import nation in

495
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: order for me to give you a test. So so

496
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: these are real scenarios. So in general, depending where you are,

497
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: if you called me and say, hey, you know, um,

498
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm sick, you have fevered, you have muscle aches, you

499
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: have shortness of breath. I'm like, you feel like you

500
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: have the COVID ninety, but unfortunately we can't test you,

501
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: so just say the days it's more it's it's more

502
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: detailed instructions. But if that is happening, so a lot

503
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: of places, so New York, everybody is freaking out, Like day,

504
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: New York has a lot of cases, but they're doing

505
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: a lot of active surveys, which means that they're really

506
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: doing a lot of testing. If someone is positive, they're

507
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: testing context whereas like, um, it's a lot of other

508
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: places they don't have enough test or enough facility to

509
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: do the test, or enough personal protectives equipment to actually

510
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: do the test. So then it's like, you know, a

511
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't getting tested, and so then it's like, okay,

512
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: well these places are showing low numbers, but the reality

513
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: maybe that they're just not getting tested and it's really,

514
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: um more people, do you recommend that we wear gloves

515
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: and masks? So I don't recommend gloves, I think, okay,

516
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: So mask are good if you have sentenced. So what

517
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: a mask is gonna do is if let's say I

518
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: had COVID nineteen and I came over your house right

519
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: with the in fact, and I was coughing me. Wearing

520
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: a mask will protect you from me, however, you know, um,

521
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: it's just some protection. It's not a hundred percent. However,

522
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: if you don't have symptoms, wearing a mask isn't really

523
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: Because I see people in the car with a mask on.

524
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know. And then it's really important for

525
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: you to wash your hands because how is this spread.

526
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: It'sn't it's spread through infected or it's it's spread through

527
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: saliza and the fluid that you cough up when you cough.

528
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: Like when you cough, it's just very small, microscopic like

529
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: fluid comes out of your mouth and it's virus in that.

530
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: If you hand or right behind me and touch it,

531
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: sometimes I tell you're infected. Yeah, I can get sick

532
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: that way if I touch it and then I touched

533
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: my face, because you want to get the areas like

534
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: if I if I touch it, so it's not it

535
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: does It's not transmitted through skin. It's it's the inspected

536
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: through it, you know, getting your eyes, getting your nose,

537
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: gets in your mouth. So if I if you cossed

538
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: on the table, for example, and I touch it and

539
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: then I go wash my hands. I'm not gonna get

540
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: infected right away. However, if you coughed on this table,

541
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: I touched you know where you coughed, and you were infected.

542
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: And I touched my face like my eyes, my mouth

543
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, that's how you're getting infected. So

544
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 1: in regards to gloves, I saw someone in the grocery

545
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: store where it was and I'm like, it really doesn't

546
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: matter because if you're still touching your face, you can

547
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: still get effected. It's just not your hand, it's through

548
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: the it's on the gloves, So you just really I

549
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: think the gloves give you a process of security you

550
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: really should be using on hand sanitized. But that's in

551
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: short supply, So washing your hands it's going to be important.

552
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,320
Speaker 1: How people are so shocked at how they're supposed to

553
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: be washing their hands. Well, I'm not surprised because let's

554
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: just be honest, most people use the quick First of all,

555
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: there are probably people more of people who want to

556
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: admit probably don't wash your hands. Why it's there are

557
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: a lot of people who probably won't it that they

558
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: never wash their hands even if they go to the bathroom.

559
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: So then now you're asking them to wash their hands requently.

560
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: It's like I learned, it's a behavior that they have

561
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: to learn. I'm not shocked. There are a lot of

562
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: things I'm not shocked about. That's why the hand sanitizer went.

563
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, that's why you can't find hand sanitizing. People

564
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: want things really quickly, so you know, you just wear

565
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: your hand, you wipe your hands together, and then you're gay.

566
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: You don't have to turn on the places and laugh

567
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: your hand. You know. Really that's like a long process

568
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: people and people want to quick fast thing to do.

569
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: So that's why a lot of people, that's why you

570
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: can't find anything. Is there anything that we can do

571
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: to help boost our immune systems? Does that help? Honestly

572
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: think I personally wouldn't do m hmm, okay, how do

573
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: I say this? So? I think making sure you have

574
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: a healthy, balanced diet, making sure you're exercising regularly, you're

575
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: drinking plenty of fluid, things you would normally do to

576
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: be in good health. It's the best thing for you,

577
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: except for hanging out with your friends and being of

578
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: a large crowd. Honestly wouldn't recommend doing any special supp

579
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: womans or eating any special food because really making sure

580
00:42:52,440 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: you like, um, separating yourself, UM, drinking. I would recommend

581
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: of away from those things too, so I would not

582
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: travel anywhere. To be honest, if I would not travel,

583
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: I would do if you absolutely have to for whatever reason, UM,

584
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: then that's one thing. Just make sure you wash your

585
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: hands frequently or you can't sanitize their frequently. However, if

586
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to travel, this is not the time

587
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: to go abroad and live your best life, go on

588
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: spring break, visit family. This is not the time for that.

589
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for people to stay where

590
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: they are if they have that option. And I really

591
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: even like, for example, I would I would use myself

592
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: an example. So every two three weeks I gave my nailson,

593
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: I get my lashes and like it's like like cooker

594
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: like regiments about this. However, you know during this time,

595
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: I have not gotten my lashes and having had my

596
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: eyebrows done. I forgot about that. You know, I have

597
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: to do my own nails. I'm doing my own hair

598
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: because I'm really trying to decrease my social interaction UM

599
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: with the hope I won't get sick, and I encourage

600
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 1: I want to do that. That's why Unfortunately, the government

601
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: has to actually and I'm talking more so Lottal mistake,

602
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: government has to put laws in or enforced kind of

603
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: restrictions on us because you know, some of us don't

604
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: have the discipline to stay in the house, like you know,

605
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: you can't have large gatherings. Um. A lot of church

606
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: services are online and I love the Lord and I

607
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: love one of the church, and I stayed at home

608
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: because I I don't want to risk getting sick. I'm

609
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: personally not sick. But you know, some people say that's

610
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: the issue. There is a mentality, and I don't think

611
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: it's really is a specific like occupation. I think American

612
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: mentality that I'm ana come to work no matter what.

613
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if I'm sick or not. So they'll

614
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: come to they'll come to work office fever like. They

615
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: will not take off. Some people are in a financial

616
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: situation where they really can't take off. They absolutely have

617
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: to work. And so because of that, you know, it's

618
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: very difficult for us with control this because if people

619
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: who were sick stay home, then you know, I think

620
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: things wouldn't be so bad. But unfortunately, because you know

621
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: of financial restraints or job insecurity or just playing oh

622
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: subbornness and work ethic. People will go to work even

623
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: if they're sick or they don't want to have the

624
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: perception of being laid exactly exactly, and so we don't

625
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: give ourselves time to rest. It's okay to rest, it's

626
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: okay to use your vacation time. It's okay too, Yes,

627
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's really hard. And then there are

628
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: some businesses, some blosses that make it difficult for there

629
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: for you to do that. So my last question is

630
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: how are the professionals, the health care professionals keeping how

631
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: are you think ourselves safe? So the one thing, okay,

632
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: so when you look at like a lot of the

633
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: Italian data or what happened in China, how we're healthcare

634
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: workers effected? Number one, there were a lot there were

635
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: in in the beginning of this pandemic, there were you know,

636
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: we didn't know why people were coming in, so healthcare

637
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: workers weren't wearing a mask or weren't wearing the appropriate,

638
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: perfect protective equipment. So that was an initial barrier. Now

639
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: we know what we're dealing with, so then people are

640
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: getting sick healthcare workers, you know, in informal social settings

641
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: like in the community or in around the coffee coffee

642
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: pot for example. So overall, how we're keeping ourselves safe

643
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: is number one, really adhering to the social distancing. So

644
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: this is one thing you'll hear a lot of doctors,

645
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, say do as I say, not as I do.

646
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you all the good things to do

647
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: to be healthy, but I'm not gonna do this myself.

648
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,879
Speaker 1: Where this is a different situation. We really are maintaining

649
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: social distance. So that's number one. We're definitely we doing

650
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: what we're telling our patients to do and to like.

651
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: In in my health care system in particular, we are

652
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: wearing masks no matter what, no matter if we're sick,

653
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: we're healthy, whether we're walking down the hall or we're

654
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: seeing patients. I think that's important because that's a that's

655
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: where a lot of transmission happened where people are um,

656
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: people are just catching up with another physicial share or

657
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: a nurse or whatnot. And you know, people don't know

658
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: that person is positive, so and then they get infected

659
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: that cofort and people will get infected from that infected

660
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 1: healthcare provider because they didn't know that that person was sick.

661
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: So and that person wasn't wearing a mask. So if

662
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: you're in a situation where everyone in the whole institution

663
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: is wearing a mask, that dramatically decreases the transmission. Because

664
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: remember what I said, if you're inspected and you're wearing

665
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: a mask, then you that dramatically discreases your rate of

666
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: transmissions of so basically maintaining social distancing my institution is

667
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,959
Speaker 1: everyone is wearing a mask, even at work, even walking

668
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: down the hall, either going in the bathroom, get mask

669
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: coming and and then just really just trying to do

670
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: all the sid things to keep our um mind, our

671
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: bodies whole and in good condition. Make sure we eat,

672
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: make sure we sleep, make sure we're well hydrated. So

673
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: those are just a few of the things that work,

674
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: because I think the biggest attack, or the biggest challenge

675
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: is mental. Like if you're infected, you have your own

676
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: physical scaling, but really maintaining piece of mind and being

677
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: calm and your spirit is important. As health care providers

678
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: in the communicat if you look at the news and

679
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: you look at our president and some of the things

680
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: that he's saying, his administration saying, or the local government,

681
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: you may get nervous. We know what we're doing, you know,

682
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: because I'm like, let's just ask a professional that's dealing

683
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: with this in the regular Yeah. No, I'm really happy

684
00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: to speak to you. I think that we, Like I said,

685
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm a woman of faith, so I think it's important

686
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: to not only think about ourselves and think about how

687
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: we can be saved and follow the guidance of the CDC.

688
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: Also think about our fellow our fellow man. Think about

689
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: people who are quarantine because they had a positive exposure,

690
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: Think about people who are actually sick from COVID nineteen.

691
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: Think about the health care providers who are caring fortunate

692
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: and the caregivers and samy of the people who are infected.

693
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: You know, all of these things are important. A personally

694
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: pray every day about this and also thinking like when

695
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: we're going shocking, let's not buy a ball daggs I

696
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: haven't been able to find. Let's not buy us for

697
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: all these toilet papers, you know, like this is our

698
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: meagandon Like if this is like the apostles, I think

699
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: that is unnecessary. I think we will get through this,

700
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 1: and we have to learn to think about others and

701
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: not just about what do you think it's don't get

702
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 1: better before it gets worse. Do I think it's gonna

703
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: get worse before it gets better or yeah, So I

704
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: don't think I think that I don't think it's gonna

705
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: get better and than worse. I honestly think that there's

706
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: a real possibility it's gonna get worse um before it

707
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: gets better. I think the issue is the reason why

708
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: I say it's gonna get worse is because we don't

709
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 1: even know how many people are expected in this country.

710
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: That's the issues why because all the reasons that I listed,

711
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: we aren't testing everybody we have. We do not have

712
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: a cup after to test everybody who is sick, let

713
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: alone anybody who had contact with someone who's sick. People

714
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: who are Remember I said, you can not show smpence

715
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: and still be infective, like you can be asymptomatic and

716
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: still spread um. If you're in fact that you can

717
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: be asymptomatic feeling fine, it's still spread the virus. So

718
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: a lot of those people aren't getting tested. People who

719
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: have buried mouth symptoms aren't getting tested. So we have

720
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: no idea, We really have no idea how many people

721
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: are actually infected. So unfortunately, and now like over the

722
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 1: last week we've been posed more social distancing practices and regulations,

723
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: so I think it will get better. However, I think unfortunately,

724
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: it's gonna get worse before it gets better. So we're

725
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 1: talking about weeks, if not months, more like yeah, weeks

726
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: of it getting kind of being like worse, like I

727
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: today is worse than it was last week. We're gonna

728
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: be in this vote for before we start saying a

729
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,520
