About. Joining us is mask expert and university of San Francisco scientist Jeremy Howard. Good to see you. Hi, there. Lets start with the headlines. I know youre wachg stories out of several different countries. Take us through some of the examples and what they mean for us he about the impact of schools on covid19 transmission is super complicated. Heres the problem. Normally we figure out what is going on with transmission, using contact tracing, and go and see if they have covid19. The problem s kids almost never get significant enough symptoms that they end up as a recorded case. So theres a huge amount of unrecorded transmission in kids. And sweden, they did not close down the School System and they went around and surveyed lots and lots of people at random and tested them. And it turned out, kids 4 about as much covid19 as adults did. It turned out the transmission was just as bad. We have no reason to believe the kids cant go pass it on to their teaches and parents and grandpare
111,000 times which is wild. What was your reaction to this news when you first learned about it on monday . My reaction was shock. Like many people, i have friends and colleagues and former classmates who are International Students and i worried about them and how they could be affected because this decision throws a lot of peoples lives into confusion. It really does. Before we get into that confusion, for people who arent fully read in on this and dont know all the details, why dont you walk us through what you know about what ice is saying, who might be impacted and which universities in the u. S. Might be impacted as well. Sure. So at the start of the pandemic, when schools first began to go online only, ice said to students who are here, International Students here on student visas, they were going to waive the rules that said students couldnt attend online only courses in the United States and they said they would keep up that rule through the entirety of the national emergency.
Symptomatic but now for the first time were hearing you should also wear a mask because it protects the wearer. So this is interesting information coming from right here at ucsf. So happy to have dr. Monica gandhi joining us and mention that among other things, shes director of the Ucsf Gladstone Center for aids research. Thank you for the time. Thank you very much for hving me. So tell me about this paper that youre putting together and what the takeaway is for all of us when it comes to wearing our masks.

We think viral determines whether you get the infection or get sick with the infection. The oldest we could find from 1938 that how much virus you get in the system makes you either very sick if you get a lot of virus or not very sick if you dont get hardly any virus. And what a mask does is for you as an individual is it protects you from ge
So beautiful, so congratulations. Thank you so much for having us. Cassius and mark did a great job. They really did. Thank you very much. Mayor, you have made quite the name for yourself. Youre not even 30 yet, for being such a young mayor to the mayors for guaranteed program, to the universal basic Income Program but stockton often gets a bad rap so what do you hope people learn about you from this film and about your city . Well, mostly, help the people of this nation learn that cities like stockton matter. The community, the young people, the formerly incarcerated, teachers and essential workers are the life of the democracy and the solutions starts with listening and doing work that helps their dreams and aspirations, typically, young people. And hope people learn that in every community, theres a kid right now who may have a father whos incarcerated. They have a mother who had them young, who may be going to a school whos just as talented, just intelligent as kids anywhere else i
