patel:. dr. patel: that is an extremely important point, the rapid antigen test is a snapshot in time. you cannot take it today and say you are good for the next five days. kristen: yeah. i see that weddings where the host spends $1000 giving everyone an antigen test. and then i think, it doesn't mean you will keep all the cases out. you might keep one out, but not 100%. niculescu yes how the omicron variant presents in children under five who don't qualify for the vaccine yet. i was wondering myself if the variant creates less severity in symptoms, or quantitatively different types of symptoms? dr. patel: one thing it is doing is it is tending to give young kids more of those upper respiratory symptoms. so instead of the lower lungs, things like pneumonia and shortness of breath, younger kids are presenting with an extremely bad cold. so somebody out there might cost and say that is not a big deal, but remember, babies cannot handle an upper respiratory infection the same way older people can th

patel. happy friday. good to see you. dr. patel: happy friday to you. it is good to see you as>> i knu us and also two truths and a lie. of the three things we listed about cloth being the least effective, about it is okada by n95's -- it is ok to buy n95's, we knew those things, didn't we? what about this is new? dr. patel: nothing. we did know these things. it is nice to see the cdc come out and say this, but it just feels kind of delayed. i think what is important for people to know out there is that omicron is behaving a little bit differently than previous variants, so the only real update now that it's a little late is that cloth masks just are not the optimal protection, and mask fit plus material, both standards that n95, kn95 or kf 94. >> this is not as good as this. the cdc or suggest which mask to wear in different situations. dr. patel: it is not, and i think that would be a little cumbersome for people to try to weed through that. giving people baseline information saying filtration is the most important is really key because people are get

patel. happy new year's day, everybody. thanks for joining us on this holiday weekend. we appreciate it. liz, let me start with you on this one and just kind of walk me through what's happening in north carolina, seeing some of the highest numbers throughout this pandemic so far. folks scrambling to get tested as we're returning from holiday break. what are you seeing? >> reporter: well, that really goes hand-in-hand, this testing demand is at an all-time high and more and more of those tests are coming back positive in north carolina alone, more than 1.5 million cases now since the start of the pandemic, nearly 20,000 deaths here, and across the country, states breaking pandemic records. take a look here behind me at this line. it just stretches all the way down the street, and earlier this week, we saw traffic that needed the police to be able to control the flow of traffic because it was going all the way out into the main roads. now it's appointment only. it used to be able, you could dr

patel say they'll keep working the supply chain until the chips are stacked in their favor. >> garrett: there is still much more news ahead on tonight's "cbs evening news." the first images of a navy jet crashing in the south china sea. and the wisconsin prosecutor has the final word on what happens to kyle rittenhouse's rifle. >> garrett: images have surfaced of that f-35 fighter jet that crashed in the south china sea this week. the navy's $100 million plane hit the deck hard while trying to land on the uss "carl vinson." it then fell into the water as the pilot ejected. he and several ship crew members were injured. the navy is investigate both the crash and how the pictures were leaked. the assault-style rifle kyle rittenhouse used to kill two people and wound a third during a 2020 protest in kenosha, wisconsin, will not be returned to him. rittenhouse, who was acquitted of murder charges, had asked the court to return the gun, saying he wanted to destroy it so no one could profit from it. but today, a prosecutor ruled kenosha police will destroy the weapon instead. the white house

patel, it's always conditioned on if you can get a test. the fact is, it's almost impossible to get a test. and so with that reality, is there something that -- go ahead. just clear up as much as it as you can. it still is such a mess. >> yeah, jose. the most common scenario for most americans is that they felt like they got a cold. if you're vaccinated and boosted, the most likely scenario is that you might feel sick, you might have had a close contact that's positive, and if you try to get a test, either buy one or get a pcr appointment, it's likely that you cannot get one. so what we're recommending is that you should assume you have covid, isolate yourself while you're trying to get a test to confirm whether you have covid, if you might have the flu, jose, we're seeing a lot of that, or you might have allergies. but until you can do that, isolate. and if your symptoms resolve or if you find a test and it's negative, at day five, you can end that isolation. and i think here's maybe what's even more important, jose. let me just evaluate i

kavita patel. she's a former obama white house policy director and we're happy to say an msnbc medical contributor. dr. patel, good morning. so great to see you. let's start from there, what we just heard from the surgeon general. would you agree we have not hit the omicron peak? nationally give us a stance where we are. >> yes, i would agree we haven't peaked nationally but hopefully they're occurring actively mid-atlantic, northeast, kind of to give you a snap short. we the have parts of the midwest and pacific northwest and south, only hundreds of cases per 100,000 cases. i can't believe i'm saying only hundreds. but that's compared to hundreds of thousands of cases for people in the last seven days in the northeast, for example. that means we have a lot more room for people to get infected and the downstream consequences, which as you know lags by weeks of hospitalization and death. >> one of the bright spots seems to be new york state. cases in the state appear to have hit a plateau, according

kavita patel former obama white house health policy director. dr. patel, you heard the surgeon general say the worse is yet to come. how bad do you think it could get over the next couple of weeks? >> chris, i think a majority of the country will continue to see increasing cases and we could see daily cases topping a million. they've probably really are at over a million because of underreporting, we don't have the actual numbers, but that puts us as a nation kind of going through omicron surges in various parts of the country until the end of the month and then, of course, it doesn't mean that it declines to zero, chris. february will be a rough month, too, as hospital cases trail the actual positives. >> so as we're talking about omicron pushing hospitals, heidi, we have mother than two dozen states including maryland and virginia who are really having trouble keeping up with the patient load, and there's also some controversy involving an executive order by the just sworn in virginia governor. tell us about that. >> reporter: chris, a new executi

patel? >> i do think it makes it confusing, because remember, this ruling applied to the osha vaccine requirement or test. there's separate requirements for health care workers which the supreme court did uphold and there are separate requirements for other types of federal workers. postal service employees are carved out. i commiserate with any of these employers and people in general who are just confused. i think we do need to make it simpler. i also think the administration is actively pursuing other options, as the president has already said. but you could potentially make people even more confused and unintentionally disenfranchise the very audience you want to come in and get vaccines. i hope at the local level we make this an even playing field, because it's true, county to county, city to city, it feels like you have to readjust and determine which set of guidelines and regulations you follow. as a regular individual, vaccination is critical. and having that vaccine mandate be evenl

kavita patel, nbc news medical contributor. dr. patel, what is your view of where things stand right now with omicron? >> jose, the united states overall it's improving in parts of the country, but worse in other parts. so it's still too early to get complacent. we're elevating the status of limiting indoor spaces and getting people boosted or vaccinated, that helps a lot too. good news on the horizon and other can you say -- other countries, the u.k., south africa, cases have descended rapidly. but cases still occur on the way down and we'll see that coming down very soon. but it is still going to take several weeks. >> i was just going to ask you because i can't tell you how many times i've asked almost on a daily basis, hey, when is this peak going to start fading down? when can we think about the possibility of, i don't know, doing travel, of being more, you know, with other people? >> yeah. look, if it helps give people confidence, i've got my family reservations for spring break in march and i hope what we can see across most

patel of stanford children's health. doctor, some recent studies suggest omicron may infect the body differently than the delta variant, that it may spare the lungs, and it sounds like we're having the same experience here in the u.s. as in other countries that have dealt with omicron -- skyrocketing case numbers. so, could it be less severe? what's the bottom line? how concerned should we be about omicron? and how do you see it playing out here? >> the bottom line is that some early data, especially a report just released from the uk, including data here domestically, does suggest the variant is more mild than delta. this is a good thing. it's resulting in less severe hospitalizations, less visits to the emergency department, and people need to remember that the vaccines still work against any variant. but here's the reality -- when we have 300,000, 400,000 positive tests a day, you're still inevitably going to have a large amount of illness, hospitalizations, and exposures to people, front line workers such as police,

ama: abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel is here with another nice day. what are we going to do? sandhya: we sound like a broken record, right? another dry nice day. a lovely picture right now. speaking of nice, always good to see the fog, check this out, it looks so cool. as we notice, looked like something just flew by there a bird. golden state bridge the fog rolling in tonight. here's a view from our mount tam cam and over the higher terrain. it is a bit on the breezy side. lower terrain, we're starting to see the winds pick up as well. gusting to 31 at s.f.o., 23 mile an hour winds sustained right now in san francisco. mount diablo to 33 earlier. overnight, those winds picked up. they were stronger and that is going to remain the case as we look at the hourly forecast, tonight the strongest winds will still be over the higher terrain as we head into tomorrow morning. the winds will ease and will be back into lighter wind mode. but as far as the air quality is concerned, because the winds aren't strong enough to mix out the atmosphere moderate air quality the next four days.

but then of course, ultimately it would fall to the home secretary patel. she would have the ultimate side whether it's a sanction that tradition. and at that moment i think there would be she pressure on the u. s. government to back off and on the u. k. government to release him. he is to be, you know, more than a decade in detention either in ecuador, an embassy or in belmont prison. i think that pretty patel looking at the case from the point of the public interest, the cost involved and the jeopardy, you know, so on just how would i hope with public pressure and only been public pressure because she's not a very liberal person, but with public pressure may be motivated to decide against extradition, but that is not a given at all, and it would be a very tough battle. pretty battelle adel homes. if she's a very tough cookie, she is not easily persuaded. she doesn't have a liberal heart at all. peter, thanks for talking to us today. it's always a pleasure. human rights activists that be to touch on the novak, the mondays have been causing havoc in canada

patel, let me turn to you. help us sort through some of the legitimate concerns from some that may be overblown. when you look at where we are, the numbers, covid cases more than tripling, hospitalizations up by a smaller amount, 35%, deaths actually down 3%, help us put these numbers into context. what puts a pit in your stomach when you look at this? what do you think is being overwritten in the narrative here when it comes to covid that people may not have to stress so much about? >> i think let me start with that. what's being overwritten about this is there's this narrative around mild omicron, whether or not we should worry about it. i worry about all cases of omicron when there's so much positivity, because as you heard in chicago and kelly is alluding to, it's everywhere. it's truly now at a point where the positivity rate is not even relevant. i do think there's so much narrative around the number of cases and the positivity rate, i realize those are important, those are gross underestimates. it's high

earlier we spoke to karen patel. she leads the energy climate and resources center at the etha economic institute. we asked why the energy crunch has been a particular problem in germany. one reason why and germany, it's more um, it's more acute us or you are relying more strongly on natural gas, not only for heating, but also for electricity production compared to countries like france, like norway, like switzerland. we do have market prices, so we don't have a publicly regulated energy prices. and on top of that, we rely more on russian gas than other european countries. and we had a decline of energy production from renewables, especially from wind. 13 years ago, venezuela was producing 3200000 barrels of oil every day, fast forward to today, and it can barely scrape half a 1000000 together. after years of crippled production. the collapse of the countries oil industry is a key aspect of venezuela's, devastating crisis. abandoned platforms, rusted pipes, oil and gas leaks in the seventy's debasing of lake mara. ca

patel online. that's at pbs.org/newshour. >> woodruff: the academy of motion pictures is best known as the organization that hands out oscars, and for the controversy in recent years about the lack of diversity in its ranks and awards. now the organization has opened a new museum in los angeles, said to be the largest in north america devoted to the art of filmmaking. jeffrey brown took a tour with one of its leaders for our arts and culture series, "canvas." >> reporter: it's a museum of the movies, so: orson welles a“" citizen kane," r2d2 from “star wars" and, of course: “the wizard of oz” and dorothy's ruby slippers. but these days, more than a greatest hits approach is required of cultural institutions of all kinds, including this one. film historian jacqueline stewart: >> some people like the term, the "magic of cinema." i prefer the term, the "power of cinema," because i think that's where we can really look at not just what happens to us on an emotional level, but think about that as

patel, thanks so much for being with us this morning. i want to talk about your own personal experience. you were recently exposed to the virus and you've come down with some symptoms. can you tell us about the whole process for you getting tested? >> well, good morning, eva, and thank you for starting with that question in case anyone out there is wondering why that doctor sounds so nasally. but basically i was not only exposed i also have allergies, and it's hard for the average person to tease out is this covid or not and i'm not worried about myself because i'm fully vaccinated, but about my unvaccinated 8-month-old baby. i tested multiple days negative on a rapid antigen test, and wanted to confirm with a pcr. i had to go through my doctor, i had to wait in a line to get one and this reality is not a luxury everyone has. so what am i doing, i'm isolating and making sure i have a well-fitting mask with good filtration like my kn95. >> i think so many people would assume because you're a doctor, it wouldn't be hard for you to get a te

patel, i mean, this mirrors a lot of what we've seen throughout this pandemic, right? the -- the wave sweeps through certain parts of the country, first, as the numbers start to come down there, we see other parts of the country where numbers are on the rise. what are your concerns for how rural areas will be able to fight a possible omicron surge? >> yeah, alicia, it's interesting. this is such a different strain. the patterns are still holding true to previous patterns and you're right. it goes through urban areas, starting with new york and some of the coastal cities, first. coming through, and we are starting to see declines even in northeast united states but what this means for rural parts of america is this is a long, hard winter ahead of us with likely no peak even until potentially february because of their rural nature and the fact that the lowest vaccination rates happen to overlap with these areas. >> so, when we look at that graphic that's up right now, right, it walks us through a variety of states. we see the weekly cases per 100,000, and then you see wh

patel. san francisco has been the strictest in this country and the earliest to lock down in the beginning of covid. what are we seeing now? >> that's right, steph. because of thaerlly clampdown creating mask mandates in 2020, san francisco is reaping the benefits. as of tomorrow, the city says stable cohorts of people, that's people who are basically a regular cast of characters in, say, an office or a gym, can take off their mask indoors as long as they can prove they have not just vaccinated but boosted. and the good news in san francisco is that the vaccine rate is way up above 80%, and the boosted rate is up above 60%. that seems to be the reason. we spoke to a gym owner here. you know how gyms have been suffering. he described how confident he is that this should work just fine for his customers. have a listen. >> we're fortunate most of our clients are walking in the door and they've showed us from the first day they've got their booster. we have a check box on their record that track

kavita patel. dr. patel, the president is speaking in the next hour deploying medical teams to help overwhelmed states. what else does he need to do? >> we need to get boosters out to people, that has been shown to be a significant difference in people being hospitalized or critically ill and those who are able to say that this is a more mild illness. we're still woefully low. the second is pushing out therapeutics, we haven't gotten a lot of attention on this because we've been talking so much about testing. testing is important. you can't test out of covid but with so many people getting covid we have to be able to have access to early therapeutics, the monoclonal antibodies that work against omicron, these things are available but they are in short supply and unevenly distributed depending on what state you are in. >> what's even more important is getting vaccinated. across the world there are some european countries that have now made vaccinations mandatory if you want to take public transit, eat o

earlier we spoke to karen patel, she leads the energy climate and resources center at the etha economic institute. we asked why the energy crunch has been a particular problem in germany. one reason why and germany it's more um it's more cute as are you are relying more strongly on natural gas, not only for heating, but also for electricity production compared to countries like france, like norway, like switzerland. we do have market prices, so we don't have a publicly regulated energy prices. and on top of that, we rely more on russian gas than other european countries. and we had a decline of energy production from renewables, especially from wind. 13 years ago, venezuela was producing 3200000 barrels of oil every day, fast forward to today, and it can barely scrape half a 1000000 together after a years of crippled production. the collapse of the countries oil industry is a key aspect of venezuela's, devastating crisis. abandoned platforms, rusted pipes, oil and gas leaks in the seventy's debasing of lake mara cable in venezuela was the largest oil field in latin america. today. it's

senator cap patel -- kapatow knew them well too. he began by quitting james madison. madison said the purpose of the senate was first to protect the people against the rulers, secondly to protect the people against the trance to get impressions to which they themselves may be led. so byrd testified that the right to filibuster anchors this necessary fence. he concluded with we must never, ever, ever tear down the only wall, a necessary fence that this nation has against the excesses of the executive branch and the resultant hate and tyranny of the majority. eliminating the filibuster would be the easy way out. i cannot support such a perilous course for this nation when elected leaders are sent to washington to unite this country. we are called the united states, not the divided states. it is time we do the hard work to form compromises that can stand the test of time. that is why we are here. 233 years, think about it, wars, depressions, think of all of the hardships this country has gone through. we are not going backwards. we can do better than what we are doing to
