Returning to the coronavirus a new Study Reveals which face coverings are not effective at protecting you. I spoke with dr. Imran ali and talked about a shortage of Health Care Workers but we began by discussing the increasing number of children testing positive. Lets start with the big headline this morning. In the past 12 hours we received updated numbers on children testing positive for covid19. Nearly 180,000 cases have been reported in the past four weeks. Thats a 90 increase in one month. Of course, this comes as so many parents send their kids to school this morning and as so many try to decide whether to send their kids back to school. What are your thoughts . It just tells you that the rate of the increase is whats really concerning. We dont know what this virus can do on developing brains of children. Theres so much we dont know about the longterm effects. So its just important that we really maintain backtoschool safety and have a good plan. Researchers at Duke University studied several kinds of face coverings and how they protected people from the coronavirus and they were specific about the kind of face coverings that do not work. What are the takeaways here . The bottom line is the safest mask would be the n95 mask, the kinds that you see doctors wear in the hospital, but thats not the kind you want to wear every day if youre out and about. Theyre not very comfortable. The ones that work are the surgical masks and the cotton mask. You have to make sure they have three layers, threeply. The ones in the study were three layers. The ones that did not do well were the ones that were knit and made out of fleece. Dr. Ali, theres a potential shortage of Health Care Workers and 26 states are expected to face a shortage of icu doctors. When we think of icu beds its not just the bed but the staff that makes the icu tick. Its not just the icu beds but very concerning that many states in the south are going to see a shortage of Staff Members who can staff these icus because you can always turn a cafeteria or a medical ward into an icu but you need the staff. Staffing is key. Our thanks to dr. Ali there. Coming up, a seagull pulls off a brazen food heist. First, the link between stress and hair loss. Why its especially relevant now.
