The flu season is well underway i got my shot have you gotten yours dr phil she warns that we are in the middle of an historic pandemic that severely is involving the United States of america is the country which is the most severely hit and were not through with it yet in fact there is considerable concern as we enter the fall and the winter months and into the flu season that will have that dreaded overlap of 2 respiratory borne diseases namely influenza and covert 19 yet according to a recent National Poll one in 3 parents plan to skip flu shots for their kids concluding that even during the pandemic some parents dont see the flu vaccine as more urgent or unnecessary this heightens concern about how the onset of flu season may compound challenges in manning cold. 19 the uptick in home schooling is just one example of prudent parents keeping kids safe so marlo dalton executive director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases wants to assure wary moms and dads so we understand their concerns but we know that there are safe and effective ways to offer flu vaccines in a safe environment and so again the same precautions Wearing Masks social distancing and washing hands are all recommended to create a safe atmosphere in fact weve just vaccinated the entire an f. 18 staff to help keep us all protected you know we believe the more vaccinated the more protected still have questions the doctor is in there and he is dr joe alton who along with his advance Nurse Practitioner wife amy are authors of among other books altons pandemic preparedness guide dealing with the emerging and current viral threats they host the survival medicine website doom and gloom dot net a rich trove of posts podcasts and videos and were showing you the big picture you tube archive address at the bottom of the screen in case you missed our september 11th show when joe and i talked about the survival supplies its smart to have at home just in case joe lets start off with a common fact or myth the flu shot will give you the flu. Holland im glad were talking about the flu because with the medical headlines all about covert 19 people think the flu is taking the year off its not but to answer your question thats a myth you cant get the flu from the flu shot you need live virus to get sick and the vaccine is made from dead virus or just viral proteins the shot can however trigger an immune response in your body so you could have a few use mild symptoms like maybe pain at the injection site it the muscles or a low grade fever these will go away pretty quickly in most cases. Theres also been controversy about vitamins and americans spend some 12000000000. 00 a year on them and ive read an annals of internal medicine report titled enough is enough stop wasting money on vitamin and mineral supplements which casts doubt what do you recommend to your patients you know vitamins are big business but the study you mention reports no improvement in Heart Disease cancer or mental decline with age if you take of they certainly dont take the place of a good healthy diet eating a healthy diet maintaining a normal way for your heighten age reducing trans fats sodium and sugar especially sugar in your diet probably would have more of a protective effect the having said that deficiency in certain vitamins a vitamin d. May put at risk for a number of issues you produce vitamin d. In your skin with exposure to the sun and too little is bad for your bones its thought that 42 percent of americans and up to 80 percent of africanamericans are deficient lately some studies are even showing that deficiency of vitamin d. Leads to worst outcomes in coated patients your doctor can test your vitamin d. Level. As a doctor reminded us in that quote a minute ago these are both respiratory diseases the covert and flu and the symptoms can be similar what should trigger a call to the doctor you know many coded symptoms holland are indeed similar to the flu and anything more than the mildest case of either merits a call to your medical provider in pandemic times when symptom star call the doctor if youre 50 years of age or older have chronic medical problems like diabetes asthma Heart Disease or chronic lung conditions have a weakened immune system due to hiv aids Cancer Treatment or steroids there or in the latter stages of pregnancy of course call the doctor on behalf of the children or older members of the family and if your otherwise healthy you know what you should seek medical advice if your symptoms are unusually severe such as trouble breathing a severe sore throat a cough that produces a lot of green or yellow mucus or light headed us although there is no proven treatment for cope at 19 at present proven treatment antiviral drugs do exist for influenza like tamiflu or as a flu that they can decrease the severity of the disease but only if theyre given early in the 1st 48 hours by the way you can get a cold and flu at the same time ouch what about these over the counter and zinc supplements that were told to take at the 1st sign of a cold. You know the ink actually does work to decrease the length of time that youre sick with a cold but only at least in proven studies by about a day or so so i have no problem with people taking zinc. We are speaking with survival medicine expert dr joe alton a doom and gloom dot net doc i recently saw a t. V. Commercial for a clinic that said cancer didnt stop for kovac and for several months non emergency elective procedures have been on hold those of us who have postponed getting less than life threatening stuff have suffered in the meantime is it now time to revisit conditions that were bothering us back in march april may how and other medical issues dont go away just because the headlines are all about code my worry is that people with significant heart lung and other problems are scared to go get the care they need in some cases procrastination could lead to tragic tragic consequences in the early part of the year we did have some medical facilities overwhelmed with patients but thats not the case in most areas right now medical centers have done a pretty good job in my opinion figuring out safe ways to get tests and procedures done my recommendation connect with your Health Care Provider and lisa virtually to find out if youre behind on important evaluations and treatments one day this pandemic will pass and you dont want to have avoided coronavirus all this time just to end up with a heart attack or stroke due to some high Blood Pressure issue or other some some other condition that you might have ignored. I have had these online zoom type telemedicine visits with both my doc and my dentist and i think its a great tool because everybody is on time and they have access to all your records it seems like a great tool early on in the shutdown a lot of us were ordering takeout to be a loyal customers to our favorite restaurants who are in distress and a lot of them have pivoted to makeshift Outdoor Dining in this part of the country where i live here and knowing when theyre bringing in the propane heaters and that can only go so long so theyre on borro time how confident are you in the reconfigured Indoor Dining where they space out the tables more so we feel safe there joe well you know how and its going to be a balmy 85. 00 degrees on halloween down here in south florida but everywhere else fall is in the area thats making Restaurant Owners and their patrons a little bit nervous despite that even new york city open restaurants Indoor Dining a few days ago of course your server should wear a mask but you cant eat with a mask on so you have to rely on other precautions to stay safe not just physical distancing but also special attention to and respiratory hygiene if the owners are weisel check patrons with forehead their monitors use disposable menus and other items make can sanitize a readily available or at least disinfectant wipes and offer a single serving condiments the room itself should be well ventilated i have to say that its not possible to socially distance in a lot of restaurant bathrooms im not saying that dont use them if you have to but they can be problematic and if youre not feeling well do everyone a favor and cancel a reservation. Knowing that you are a floridian i thought of you recently when the governor said lets reopen the bars and this has been an on again off again thing down there they jumped the gun once the a think that they are hasty again. No i think that weve reached a point where with the protocols that we have for keeping places safe outdoor places save them seeing people wearing their masks im seeing people maintain your social distancing i think that we can have as much freedom as is currently possible with the atmosphere that we have. Down to about a minute but because the show is the big picture i must ask does all this pandemic protocol that weve been preached and are practicing have us to hunkered down now the president says dont let it control your life is there a chance weve overreacted or is better safe than sorry still the rule of thumb. It depends on the situation holland viruses mutate and the numbers suggest that the current version of sars coby 2 is very contagious but less deadly than it was in the beginning the death rate is now about 0. 6 percent still several times that of the flu but much less than when it was thought to be 30 times more deadly early this year advanced age and an Underlying Health conditions are still the major factor in death rates the gram authority of us the answer of people 65 or older but that even that doesnt mean that code 19 is a death sentence even if youre on in years almost 90 percent of those 85 years old and older who get it survive the young people the chances of having severe case are very small indeed out of 220000 deaths only 350 were under 25 years of age now each death is a tragedy of course but clear your shows your great grease here. Of getting sick simply by following some simple guidelines wash your hands where a mask when youre out with others socially distance when its possible that doesnt mean you have to wear masks if youre hiking in the wilderness. There you go dr joe alton doom and gloom dot net thanks again for stepping into the big picture and comment on even as furloughs are turning permanent the employment numbers could still be better if employers could find more of the employees that theyre looking for our h. R. Go to guy david lewis is here next to explain and just when we need him most where it is bond. James bond this is the big picture on our t. America. A duck industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells abilities on the street many of them under age. Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles there are going to come as you see offices going undercover as 6 workers end customers to fight 6 trade. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport thats this im show business ill see that. Others financials my god i dont buy i promise you. The last time i buy it from the future price watch kaiser. Its already clear the new normal isnt either and several months ago optimists predicted what they were calling a v. Shaped recovery meaning that after the shutdown crashed everything we would shortly resume well its turned into at best a huge shaped recovery with a more gradual return and some are characterizing the status quo as a k shaped recovery now think about that in the shape of a k 2 inverse v. Shapes many of those on top are doing fine many in the inverted v. At the bottom are desperate as many of these furloughs turned permanent and entire industries are suffering Airlines HotelsMovie Theaters las vegas and a recent wall street journal reports spells out how many other trends already in motion that excel are rated during the shutdown employment is hardest on workers with historic disadvantages including High School Dropouts those with disabilities and black and hispanic workers women the crisis hurt these groups disproportionately i want to set aside the politics of all this to talk in more practical terms a survey by the National Association for business economics finds that for the 1st time in a decade there are as many respondents reporting decreases as increases in employment at their firms than in the previous 3 months however this may have been due to a difficulty in finding workers rather than a pullback in demand how can help wanted and situations want to meet lets ask david lewis the c. E. O. Of operations any day but i can only imagine how busy you have been since we spoke back in may what in the last 5 months has surprised you the most about the employment landscape. Hi helen well i think this started there were a lot of concerns by companies trying to figure out how to move into the remote world and how difficult that turned out that the for Companies Part of a nice surprise i think the positive thing to come out of coke if there is one is that right now it looks like thats a locked in that companies have now realized that theyre really dont need to come to an office in order to be productive and that includes in collaborative roles and thats going to have a Significant Impact on how Companies Choose to hire and where those people come from in the months to follow when cold it is in the rearview mirror. Yeah but thats the work at home thing which companies or i should say which industries do that best and worst and which work at home jobs are likely to stay there rather than coming back to the office and so if you think about this prior to cohabit the people who are allowed to work from home mostly were in standalone type of positions one that didnt require a lot of collaboration they were also individuals that were identified as those who could operate independently and be able to drive their own work without a lot of individual supervision and management but what youre seeing now is that with technology the technology thats allowing me to speak to you today from my office instead of from a studio or now becoming much more in contact with our employees video and now suddenly that list of employees that can work from home is that much larger so a lot of it comes down to if you dont need to do a physical in person to meet with a customer you pretty much can do it from all even on the collaboration side and so tech is a great example of an area where companies are really thriving on that front but even an operational side of accounting and finance positions a lot of the support roles theres really fewer physicians you say you cant do it from all than the ones that you can. Meantime i feel sorry for the uber driver that we used to send for you when we rented that studio for you in connecticut but its the nature of the game im sure dry cleaners are just suicidal but some industries are booming whos having a good time in this shaky status quo yes anybody certainly in the Online Shopping business or on the Online Business is were really booming and so are tech firms and specifically tech firms around that my son works for a Technology Company up in boston who optimizes the common Shopping Experience for companies and that business is booming right now and go home bunch of new investment coming in so if youve got a business that services on the tax side and in particular even helps companies be more productive on a Remote Worker basis then youve got not only a great business an act of one day youve got a long standing solid future in the months and years that comp is this is locked then hey up that survey we mentioned earlier if employers are having a tough time identifying employees they want to hire what are the smart moves now for job seekers should they be on linked in or how else to show up. And so you have to realize that when they caught me dips like you did over the summer you suddenly wind up with a real problem as an employer in that if you post a job on a web site youre now dealing with a 1000 or more resumes and Many Companies just dont have the technology or the resources to go through that so what theyve moved to in this is a movement thats gone on for years now is instead of posting jobs i want to go find the candidates im looking for by looking on resume databases and without question by accident has become the biggest resume database in the world so if i want to talk to a friend or Family Member and say how do you go and get a job today the 1st thing i tell them is update your profile on linked in expand all the information you can about your contacts and your network take some tutorials on how linked in advisors you and others who follow him in advise you on how to build a formidable presence and youre going to get your shoulder taff a lot by perspective of lawyers who would prefer to talk to you that way than have you respond to some type of billboard ad that they put up on a website traditionally the job was won and lost in the in person employment interview that process has moved on line too i take it now hum. Yeah i mean what were doing right now is what companies have been doing and had to do over the course of the summer many of them just picking up where they left off a lot at that age of this technology but yes were doing interviews now through video you know one of the things i found interesting is coming out of the office i happened to be in today with the hadnt been in a lot for the last 5 months i left here that day before we shut down with my headphones or my my cell phone i barely use them now i do everything through video and thats made it a lot easier for companies to do interviewing because the earth got used to using video interacting with their own holy that helped in the process of normalizing this as a means of communication with candidates now so if youre going to do a job search today youre going to expect is that 1st screening conversation is going to be by video even when its safe to go back to the office im not surprised were reading a lot of obituaries for a new york city and the Real Estate Agents here in the coastal no one go and are telling me that city folks are bugging out i got about a minute left are reports of the big apples demise premature and not just new york city but generally big city office space. Also so look at it from your perspective when colbert is in the room the real question is going to be are people going to come back into the cities right now to some very sobering statistics and or use new york as an example one of the big organizations tracked in this you know record a few weeks ago. Officers reopened only 8 percent 8 percent of the employee separate term for those places that means all those businesses that support the commuters that do the lunches do the drive cleaning for those people are only seeing your percent of their better return so i think cities right now have a big problem but they wont really know how big that problem ends until we have a cure or we have a vaccine david lewis operations and thanks again for your time here on the big picture and now a big update with Movie Theaters the fuel that were opened now closing by the hundreds the entire movie industry is desperately asking. Was w. So. I need a favor brother youre the only one i trust with. No not november this just in after a lackluster september performance for the much anticipated thriller 10 at that November James bond release date of fall back from easter. Which was to have debuted then and 2020 has now been pushed back to april 2021 eerily titled no time to die this 25th bond movie will be Daniel Craigs last it cost over 200000000 to make and will cost millions more to promote and has already cost the studio millions more to shelve for a year the fast and furious sequel f 9. 00 has been rescheduled for a spring debut as well and seeking to reassure stockholders adam aaron the c. E. O. Of amc theaters the largest theater chain in the world explains that were not an airline or a broadway theater that traditionally runs full in the Movie Theater business were more of a church built for Easter Sunday noting that the 350000000. 00 tickets sold last year represented just 17 percent of his overall seats he figures the issue for us will be convincing moviegoers that our theaters are safe and our theaters are clean meantime in space a real life threat weve seen in the movies asteroids they are small rocky objects that orbit the sun theyre similar to planets but much smaller and asteroids have whizzed through our neighborhood for millions of years on october 8th we dodged number 2020 s x 3 roughly the size of 3 double decker buses now here comes number 2818. 00 v p one which is about 6 feet in diameter and is expected to pass within 300 miles of earth on november 2 but pay your rent or mortgage nasa estimates less than half a per cent chance that it is on target and even if it is it will probably burn up in the atmosphere.
