>> WELCOME BACK TO NEWS
APP EVERYBODY AMERICANS TAKING
TO THE SKIES OVER THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND WITH THE TSA SCREENING
MORE THAN 6 MILLION
PASSENGERS FROM THURSDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY THAT'S
UP SIGNIFICANTLY FROM LESS THAN
HALF A MILLION DURING THE SAME
TIME LAST YEAR.
STILL DOWN FROM THOSE PRE
PANDEMIC LEVELS THE INCREASE IN
TRAFFIC COMES AS THE CDC SAYS
BACKS THE NATIVE AMERICANS CAN
SAFELY TRAVEL AT LEAST
DOMESTICALLY JOINING US NOW
DOCTOR MAX COOPER EMERGENCY
ROOM PHYSICIAN AND PENNSYLVANIA
STATE LEAD OF THE COMMITTEE TO
PROTECT MEDICARE. DOCTOR
COOPER, WELCOME BACK TO
THE SHOW. WE KNOW MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FULLY
VACCINATED ARE THESE HIGH
TRAVEL NUMBERS CONCERNING TO
YOU AT ALL.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME BACK
LIKE
YOU SAID THE NUMBERS ARE DOWN
FROM LAST YEAR WE'RE
EXPERIENCING HIS FIRST WAYS WE
HAD NO VACCINES BUT SORRY UP
FROM LAST YEAR BUT DOWN FROM
2 YEARS AGO. SO LIKE THE CDC
SAYS WHEN YOU'RE VACCINATED YOU
CERTAINLY HAVE INCREASED
PROTECTION. IT IS SAFER
TO TRAVEL. SO YOU KNOW I THINK
IT MAKES SENSE THAT WE SEE HIS
NUMBERS FROM LAST YEAR WILL BE
WAS ACTING.
>> SURE THE U.S. HAS NOW
ADMINISTERED MORE THAN
3 MILLION VACCINES DAILY ON
AVERAGE A DOCTOR COOPER, DO YOU
THINK GROUND TRACK TO REACH
HERD IMMUNITY
BY THE TRAVEL SUMMER TRAVEL
SEASON. I WAS GOING TO ASK THE
END OF THE SUMMER BUT MAYBE THE
BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER TRAVEL
SEASON.
>> WELL 3 MILLION VACCINATIONS
PER DAY IS YOU KNOW ROUGHLY ONE
PERCENT OF THE U.S. POPULATION
PER DAY IF YOU KNOW TAKE A LOOK
AT NOW
RIGHT NOW I SAW A STATISTIC
THAT ROUGHLY 40% OF THE U.S.
POPULATION HAS RECEIVED ONE
DOSE OF THE VACCINE. SO FOR
KIND OF THINKING ABOUT
70% A BIG MILESTONE NUMBER NOR
VAX THAN ONE PERCENT PER DAY
AND WE'RE AT 40 YOU KNOW THAT
LOOKS LIKE YOU KNOW MONTH OR 2
FROM NOW WE BE
ON TRACK BE AT THAT THRESHOLD,
SO YEAH, I'M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE
MADE OVER THE LAST
FEW MONTHS.
>> AFTER I DO WANT TO ASK YOU
ABOUT THE VARIANTS WHAT DO WE
KNOW AND HOW WILL THEY IMPACT
THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 IN OUR
COUNTRY.
>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND
THE FACT IS WE DON'T KNOW HOW
IT WILL IMPACT THE THREAT OF
COVID VACCINE OUT OF THE
COVID-19 IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE
LIKE YOU SAY THEIR PARENTS
THEIR NEW WE DON'T HAVE A
YEAR'S WORTH OF DATA LIKE WE DO
FOR THE KIND OF WILD TYPE
STRAIN OF COVID THAT WE'VE
BEEN SEEING. SO WE ALL NEED TO
KIND OF WAIT AND SEE AND
CONTINUE TO EXERCISE CAUTION.
I JUST FINISHED UP A STRING OF
OVERNIGHT THIS WEEK AND THEN
YOU KNOW I HAD A PATIENT WHO IS
SCHEDULED TO BE VACCINATED THIS
WEEK. KIND OF EASED YOU DON'T
EVER CAUTIONS AND LAST YOU KNOW
CONTRACTED COVID
I HAD IN 2 BILLION I HE WAS
EXTREMELY IT WAS AWESOME.
THESE ARE LOW LONGER FULL
OF PNEUMONIA. ACTUALLY
COLLAPSED AND WE HAD TO PUT
EMERGENCY TESTED IN AS LONG AS
THERE ARE IN PLAY AS LONGS HIS
HEART AND HIS KIDNEYS FAILED
SO YES, WE'RE SEEING A LIGHT AT
THE END OF THE TOP BUT WE ARE
STILL IN THE FALL. YOU
KNOW WILD-TYPE YOU
KNOW VIRUS IS STILL A DEADLY
VIRUS THAT STILL NEED TO BE YOU
KNOW CAREFUL HOW WE MANAGE AND
HOW WE MANAGE OUR INDIVIDUAL.
YOU KNOW SAFETY.
>> I'M SO GLAD YOU SHARE THAT
STORY BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF
US ARE KIND OF LACK SING SOME
OF OUR MEASURES WHEN IT COMES
TO SOCIAL DISTANCING WEARING
MASK THAT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
REMINDER. YOU MENTIONED THAT
ONE PATIENT YOU ARE IN
PENNSYLVANIA, WHAT HAVE YOU
BEEN SEEING ON THE GROUND IN
YOUR STATE THE LAST COUPLE OF
DAYS.
>> SO THE LAST WEEK OR 2 WE'VE
REALLY SEEN A BIT OF
A RESURGENCE. I THINK KIND OF
COLLECTIVELY EVERYONE HAS SEEN
THAT WE'RE MAKING GREAT
PROGRESS IN VACCINES. THE
WEATHER'S WARMING WE'RE
GOING OUTSIDE AND WE ARE SEEING
A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPTICK
REGION OF PENNSYLVANIA THAT I'M
IN THE SOUTHEAST WE
ARE SEEING KIND OF BUMP
AND THIS IS NOT AS BAD AS IT
WAS AT THE PEAK OF THE BUT
CERTAINLY A CONCERNING TREND
OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS I THINK
WE ONLY TO REALLY YOU KNOW TAKE
A BREATH, THEY COULD BE
EXERCISE CAUTION REALLY SQUASH
THIS THING OUT WITH THE BATH
UNDER SOCIAL DISTANCING
MEASURES.
>> WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE TO
AMERICANS DOCTOR COOPER, WHO
HAVE PLANS
THIS SUMMER WE'RE LIVING IN
STATES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN
LIFTING A LOT ARE ROLLING BACK
THE MANDATES.
>> MY ADVICE IS WHEN YOU'RE
OFTEN
DO THAT SEEN TAKE THE VACCINE
MY ADVICE IS STAY DISTANT AS
MUCH AS YOU
AND FROM AND VICES CONTINUE TO
WEAR MASKS AND CONTINUE SENSE.
KIND OF THINK ABOUT ALL THE
THINGS YOU DO IN YOUR DAILY
ROUTINE AND HOW YOU CAN
MAKE THEM OR SAY YOU KNOW CAN
YOU GO TO THE GROCERY STORE TOP
HOURS CAN YOU GET YOUR
GROCERIES DELIVERED. CAN YOU
YOU KNOW TUCKER AND CAN YOU
AVOID
A CROWDED SITUATION WITH SOME
OTHER TIME YOU KNOW WE REALLY
NEED TO THINK SYSTEMATICALLY
ABOUT WHAT RISK ARE TAKING IN
OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES AND
ELIMINATE AS MUCH AS WE CAN
REALLY FINISH THIS OUT STRONG I
WANT TO COOPERATE AT THE END OF
>> YES, SO IT'S REALLY
WELL SAID DOCTOR ANTHONY FAUCI
IS SUGGESTING TO ALL AMERICANS
TO RECEIVE BOTH DOSES OF
MODERNA AND PFIZER WHY IS THERE
STILL DISCUSSION ABOUT ONE
VERSES TO JOE SAYS WHEN WE'RE
NOT SHORT ON SUPPLY ANY WAR.
>> WELL THE STUDIES THAT SHOW
TURNER, THE FIRES.
>> THE VACCINE HAS SUCH A GREAT
EFFICACY INTRODUCING. YOU KNOW
THE INFECTION 95% PROTECTION.
>> THE PEOPLE QUOTE THAT'S ALL
BASED ON DATA FROM 2. YOU KNOW
DOES SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
YOU KNOW EVIDENCE-BASED
MEDICINE OR A TALK ABOUT
EVIDENCE-BASED PUBLIC POLICY WE
WANT TO FOLLOW THE OF THE
EVIDENCE AS 2 DOSES ROUGHLY
95% PROTECT CAN WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO GET 2 DOSES AND YOU
KNOW I WANT MY PATIENTS MY
FAMILY, I WANT MY COMMUNITY NOT
