>> WELCOME BACK TO CHEDDAR
EVERYONE I'M KRISTEN SCHOLER
PRESIDENT BIDEN CELEBRATING THE
CDC'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN REMARKS
AT THE WHITE HOUSE THURSDAY AS
THEY RELATE TO MASK-WEARING
THE PRESIDENT AND VICE
PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS WALKING
INTO THE ROSE GARDEN YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON WITHOUT MASKS THE
NEW GUIDANCE PAVES THE WAY EVEN
FURTHER FOR SCHOOLS, WORKPLACES
AND OTHER VENUES TO REOPEN TAKE
A LISTEN.
>> THE CENTER FOR DISEASE
CONTROL AND PREVENTION CDC.
THERE ARE NO LONGER
RECOMMENDING. THAT FULLY
VACCINATED PEOPLE. THE WEAR
MASKS. THIS RECOMMENDATION
HOLDS TRUE.
WHETHER YOU ARE INSIDE OR
OUTSIDE. I THINK IT'S A GREAT
MILESTONE GREAT DAY.
>> OKAY SO JOINING ME NOW IS
DOCTOR CURRY WHEN CHALLAH
REGIONAL CLINICAL DIRECTOR AT
CARBON HEALTH DOCTOR. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR JOINING THIS
AFTERNOON. YOU KNOW I THINK FOR
MANY PEOPLE WILL THIS LEFT AND
THIS GUIDANCE AND ENDORSEMENT
BY THE PRESIDENT. IN SOME WAYS
WITH MORE QUESTIONS
THEN ANSWERS WHAT ARE THE TAKE
AWAY IS THAT PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE
AFTER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
YESTERDAY.
>> WELL FIRST I WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THIS TEAM IS WONDERFUL
REALLY PER IT'S A NEW LEVEL OR
RETURN TO NORMALCY SO WE NOW
KNOW THAT WE CAN TAKE OFF YOUR
MASK IF WE
ARE VACCINATED WHICH IS A
WONDERFUL THING THAT THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR
AND IT JUST
REALLY SHOWS THE LEVEL OF
PROTECTION THAT VACCINE
VACCINATIONS REALLY PROVIDE.
>> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE FULLY VACCINATED THEY
WAITED 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT
SECOND SHOT AT THEY GOT PFIZER
OR MODERNA I DEFINITELY
CELEBRATING THAT IT SEEMS LIKE
IN AN END IS IN SIGHT. BUT WE
KNOW CERTAIN STATES LIKE NEW
YORK NEW JERSEY, NORTH
CAROLINA, VIRGINIA AND THEY
SAID THEY'RE GOING TO WAIT TO
KIND OF ASSESS THIS TO REALLY
GIVE THEIR OWN SORT OF GUIDANCE
AS TO HOW APART
CHAINS TO THE STATES AND EVEN
SOME COMPANIES NOW A LOT OF
COMPANIES ACTUALLY SCRAMBLING
TO DECIDE HOW THEY
WILL UPDATE THEIR OWN GUIDANCE
GOING FORWARD, SO IF YOU ARE AN
AMERICAN I MEAN AT THIS POINT
IS IT IS IT SAFE TO CONTINUE TO
WEAR A MASK.
>> ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW IT'S
REALLY ABOUT THAT PERSONAL
CHOICE, EVEN IF YOUR STATE HAS
STATED THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WEAR A MASK. IF YOU
FEEL SAFER.
>> WEARING ONE THERE IS NO HARM
WITH THAT AND WE DO KNOW THAT
THERE ARE GUIDELINES REGARDING
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SO IF YOU
ARE ON
A BUS. A TRAIN OR ON A FLIGHT
YOU STILL NEED TO WEAR A MASK.
>> OKAY GOOD TO KNOW EYE ON ALL
OF THOSE TRANSPORTATION
VEHICLES FOR ANYONE WHO'S
TRAVELING A BOOK DAY THEY
BOOKED A VACATION THEY'RE READY
TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, YES
MASK-WEARING STILL ON FLIGHTS
THEY THINK IS A BIG TAKE AWAY
FROM THIS, YOU KNOW I THINK
ANOTHER QUESTION IS
HOW DO YOU PROVE IF SOMEONE IS
VACCINATED WE'VE HEARD THE
STORIES OF ONLINE SCAMMERS
COMING UP WITH THESE
VACCINATION CARDS TO BASICALLY
YOU KNOW MIMIC THE
REAL THING ARE THERE CONCERNS
THAT WERE LIFTING THESE MASK
RULES TOO KNOWING IT'S STILL
ABOUT 64% OF AMERICANS ARE NOT
FULLY VACCINATED.
>> SO WE REALLY HAVE TO BE
MINDFUL AND STILL REALLY STICK
TO YOU IF YOU ARE
AROUND SOMEONE THAT I THINK ARE
IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN
ABOUT POSSIBLY CATCHING
CORONAVIRUS YOU SHOULD STILL
SEEK TESTING AND OF COURSE WE
CARE ONE THING THAT I'M REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT ESPECIALLY WITH
IN
CARBON HEALTH. WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO HELP PATIENTS REALLY
AND POWER. THE ABILITY TO SHOW
THAT THEY'VE
BEEN VACCINATED AS WELL AS HELP
BUSINESSES WE HAVE THE CARBON
HEALTH PASS WHICH IS
A DIGITAL HIT THAT COMPLIANCE
PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES THE
ABILITY FOR NOT ONLY
THE PATIENT. BUT BUSINESSES TO
REALLY BE ABLE TO SAY YES, THIS
PERSON
IS VACCINATED WHICH ALLOWS THAT
LEVEL OF NORMALCY TO RETURN AS
WELL SAFETY.
>> YOU KNOW I THINK THOUGH AS
SO I GUESS ANOTHER CONCERN HERE
RIGHT AS WE JUST TRY TO LIKE
JUST TO THIS NEW NORMAL
DEFINITELY IN THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION CAN TOUT THIS AS
A BIG WIN FOR THEM JOE BIDEN
TAKES OFFICE LITERALLY JUST A
LITTLE BIT OVER 100 DAYS AND
HE'S EFFECTIVELY ROLLED OUT
THIS VACCINE, ROLL OUT AND
PEOPLE NO LONGER NEED TO WEAR A
MASK, SO IT'S DEFINITELY A
POLITICAL WIN FOR HIM.
I THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME
CONCERNS STILL THAT THE
VACCINES MICE THEY'LL WITHOUT
HERD IMMUNITY JUST YET RIGHT
WITHOUT ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THIS
FULLY BACKS STATED AND WE SAW
AS YOU KNOW SOMEWHAT OF A STAR
STORY WITH THE NEW YORK
YANKEES, 7 MEMBERS OF THAT
TEAM, INCLUDING COACHES AND
PLAYERS ACTUALLY
TESTING POSITIVE. FOR THE WEEKS
AFTER RECEIVING THAT JOHNSON
AND JOHNSON VACCINE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS AS A
DOCTOR THAT THESE AT MANDATES
ARE BEING LIFTED ON MASKS TOO
SOON THAT THERE STILL IS THE
RISK THAT THESE VACCINES MIGHT
FAIL.
>> WELL, YOU KNOW ONE THING
THAT I LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE
VACCINES ARE ACTUALLY DOING
WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED
TO DO. YES, THERE ARE
8 MEMBERS SAID ACTUALLY
CONTRACTED COVID-19 AFTER BEING
VACCINATED HOWEVER TO THE FOCUS
IS THE DO
NOT INTEND HOSPITALIZED.
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY NUMBER
EXCEPT DEATH AND SO THAT'S WHAT
THE FACTS
THINGS ARE THEREFORE YES YOU
CAN STILL POSSIBLY CON TIME OF
COVID-19 HOWEVER YOU WILL NOT
IN THE HOSPITAL OR YOU KNOW HOW
THE POOR HOW CALM AND SO THE
VACCINES ARE PROVIDING A LEVEL
OF PRIDE ACTION THAT THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO AND SO I THINK
THAT'S ALL A LOVELY THING THAT
WE ARE SO FORTUNATE IN OUR
COUNTRY TO HAVE.
>> DOCTOR WHAT
IS THE TRANSMISSION AND I IF
YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE VACCINE
CAN YOU CAN YOU STILL BE US
SPREADER OF THIS VIRUS EVEN IF
YOU'VE RECEIVED THE VACCINE.
>> YOU CAN'T SO WE DO KNOW,
THERE'S A PERCENT CHANCE THAT
YOU COULD STILL POSSIBLY
CONTRACT.
COVID-19. WE ARE STILL LEARNING
AS FAR AS DAY THAT IS IT
POSSIBLE TO STILL THE VINE IF
YOU ARE ASYMPTOMATIC AND SO
WE'RE NOT SURE AS FAR AS THE
INFORMATION, HOWEVER, WE DO
KNOW THAT IF YOU GET THE
VACCINE. YOU ARE PROVIDING A
LEVEL OF CARE ACTION FOR
YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR
COMMUNITY.
>> ALL RIGHT DOCTOR A REALLY
GOOD INSIDE I THINK AS
WE ALL YOU KNOW BEFORE THE
