Well, today came a bit of good news regarding a potential covid19 vacaville. Results show the experimental shots boosted peoples immune system. Joining us now to talk more about this finding is professor of Infectious Disease at Berkeley School of health. Doctor, the volunteers who received the vacaville experienced an immune response. How encouraging are these results . I think the results are very, very encouraging. I think for two specific points would like to point out. Theyre very promising results. The first one, i think the data has really shown the potential safety of the vaccine to be used for humans. Although some people develop mild flulike symptoms. And the second very promising point coming out from the data is that the vaccination or the use of a vaccine in these individuals indeed induced very, very strong antibody response. What i mean is that people that have been vaccinated, and now developed an antibody that specifically can neutralize the virus, the coronavirus. So i think these are two very important, promising, you know, results coming from this study. Okay. So lets talk about these two promising parts of this study. Lets first talk about boosting of the immune system. Talk about why that is so important in proving that this vaccine may actually work. Because as we all know that, you know, to develop an immunity against covid19, we really need to have, you know, the strong immune response, and one of the strong immune responses coming from our bodies is the antibody that we could use to really specifically bind to the covid 19 virus and then inactivate so it it cannot cause further infection. About half of the participants experienced flu like reactions. Talk about how rare that is or common that is when you do have a vaccine, to get those sort of sideeffects. And you also mentioned that the higher dosage, people did have more serious symptoms, if you will be but obviously theyre going to discontinue that dosage amount in the future. Yes. Okay. So, you know, when you are vaccinated with, you know, something that is considered foreign from our body, and will cause our body to react and generate a reaction, so and so its very common to have a reaction to a vaccine. So but, again, the study uses three different doses, and so far the people receiving the highest dosage have the strongest reaction of the side effect. So the it is saying that the study going to use the medium dose for the vaccination for further study. Exactly. Thats what i was going to say, maderna moving forward with that medium dosage amount, as it gets ready to kick off this 30,000person study, which will be obviously be very important. Thank you, doctor. Thank you for having me today. Thank you. New efforts to reduce the backlog of covid19 test results here in california.

The States Health and Human Services secretary held a briefing earlier today to update the situation on covid 19 testing here in california, and some of the struggles in that area. Dr. Mark galley says state Health Officials are bringing more testing resources to those those in need. The state is implementing new testing guidelines, which includes prioritizing both for who gets tested and which tests get processed first by labs. Dr. Galley said this will help increase testing capacity, especially among the states most vulnerable communities. We all know that testing in california is a vital piece of our response, not only to focus on taking care of patients who present with symptoms and our care delivery system, but also to understand the patterns of transmission across the state, in vulnerable communities, if different parts of our state, so that we can respond effectively. More than 5. 5 Million People have now been tested for the coronavirus across california. Joining us now to talk more about the testing situation in our state is dr. Peter huong. Doctor, could to have you because as always here. So it sounds like the approach here is not just more testing, but its texting smarter. How important is it to really target your testing toward populations that are most at risk for covid19 . Well, thanks for having me on. Its kind of like where are you going to get the most juice from your squeeze. And you definitely want to target the people most at risk first, but you also want to be testing a wide range of environments so that everyone can get it, you know, in the most expedient way possible. And to that end, dr. Galley today was talking about a plan to try to make covid19 Testing Available in doctors offices, pharmacies, places like that across california. How big of a difference do you think that would make, if i just show up at my local pharmacy, and i can get a covid 19 test. Well, we have two aspects of the delay. First there is the delay of standing in line to get the test in the first place, and theres a second delay in when you get the test, when you get the test results back. So i think weve been strategizing in the healthcare field, and trying to reduce the delay in both aspects, both in getting the test to begin with, and then getting results back. So in that case we try to prioritize people who have symptoms, but also because of the large numbers of people with no symptoms who can be victors and spread the infection to somewhere else. And now were up to about 100,000 tests per day in california, which is, you know, very large. Absolutely, and you compare that looking back to april, and i know the secretary today was saying california was only doing 2,000 tests a day back in april, and now were up to 105,000 tests running per day. But looking forward, what should our goal be when we think about the capacity that we have at the labs across our state . So our goal should be, you know, first of all speed and priority, like you said. People who have symptoms should be able to get the test immediately. Think the second priority is cost. I think one of the things that dr. Galley was doing was working with insurers. Again, as you expand the range of places that people can go, they shouldnt be penalized forgetting a covid test it. Should be free. The third, again, is targeting the most Vulnerable People. And even if they dont go to a wide range of settings, you want to go out and get them like we have done in the mission, and by a view, et cetera. On the issue of cost, its an important aspect of this. We have heard that each covid test that is run here in california costs about 100 when its all said and done to administer. Who is footing the bill here, and how do we bring down the cost of testing . Yeah, so right now were not seeing most of the costs. Of course you can get the test done quickly in the private sector as well. Certain groups have drive through, thats not, you know, department of public health. So i think you can drive down the cost in interesting and creative ways. The first one that has been talked about is cooling tests. So you do a bunch at a time, and if the bunch is positive, then you go back and do each test individually. That could also speed up the process, as well, and that is getting traction from a lot of people to think of doing lot of tests discovery and over again. We have to leave the conversation there. I really appreciate your insight on this topic, doctor. Always good to have you. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Well, bay area weather has changed quite a bit. A couple of days guy, we were talking about those really hot temperatures across a good portion of the region. Looks like temperatures taking a big nose dive over the last few days. Concord, temperatures close to 100 degrees last week, from 97 to 102. And as you can see, in the past fee days, yesterday 85, and today looks like right around 85 days. The main reason is the wind.
