really long, so if you can cut ten days to seven or ideally even five or fewer, i mean, maybe you could also have a testing system so that if you keep on doing daily tests until you test negative, maybe that s a way for us to go too. i also think right now we need to figure out a way to incentivize testing. right now we are disincentivizing testing because if somebody tests positive and now they re going to visit their relatives, they travel across the country, they test positive, that s really difficult for them. they re now stuck in another part of the country for ten days. they can t be at work. they maybe can t see their family. that s really a big problem. we need to figure out a way to make testing not only the right thing to do from the a public health standpoint, but also the we need to align the incentives so that people want to be tested. perhaps insurance companies can lower premiums for people who are testing twice a week. all ho of that hinges on the biden administration
cases, but also hospitalisations and deaths. it takes a while for people who get sick from coronavirus to turn up in at the figures. it really doesn t look back to the turn of the month. the official model from scotland is also quite low, that s why i think nicola sturgeon is referring to the bleeding and case data with what s happening from omicron. brute data with what s happening from omicron. ~ ., , , omicron. we have seen the highest number of daily omicron. we have seen the highest number of daily infections - omicron. we have seen the highest| number of daily infections yesterday since the pandemic begun. presumably, you think there will be more? , ., ., , ., more? there is more to come, and it is cominu more? there is more to come, and it is coming to more? there is more to come, and it is coming to the more? there is more to come, and it is coming to the point more? there is more to come, and it is coming to the point where - more? there is more to come, and it is com
epicenter of the new wave. high school students studying in some of california s largest school districts will no longer be allowed to fail. that s because schools are banning anything below a c. teachers in districts like l.a., oakland and sacramento are no longer allowed to give out ds or f s for poor work. students are allowed to retake test or do the work again. those behind the new testing system says it helps black latino and low income students who have been hurt by the pandemic. guys over to you. steve: interesting stuff out in california, thank you very much, carley. it is now 17 minutes before the top of the hour. what i would like to do is check in with janice dean for the fox weather forecast. good morning, everyone. we got above average temperatures again for half the country and then the other half is dealing with more big time snow. so let s go over it. 34 in chicago. 48 in new york. 52 in memphis. we have a big storm system moving into the west that s going to bring e
if you look, the numbers are very minuscule compared to what it was. it s dying out. we followed them with this terrible china virus. and we are likewise getting under control. that was july when about 50,000 people per day were being diagnosed. this was trump on testing. anybody that wants a test can get a test. we took over an obsolete broken testing system. there s not a lot of issues with testing. we have done more testing than any other country combined. by doing all of this testing we make ourselves look bad testing makes you look bad? no. it tells you how sick and how bad the pandemic is. the u.s. lagged testing, far behind in testing. . and trump also lied about how the disease affected children. here s just one instance. if you look at children, children are almost and i would almost say definitely.
29th. went ahead and got tested and let the contact tracers know about their travel history and where they had just come from. what they are doing in san francisco county is they have a very robust testing system. and everyone who tests positive, they then send it to the university of california san francisco who then checks those positive tests to see what variant they are. in fact, take a listen to one of the doctors from ucsf about how quickly they moved on this. i heard about it actually yesterday at about 3:00 p.m. and we were able to receive the sample in the laboratory by 8:00 p.m. we ran a very fast molecular test which looks for what we call spike gene dropout. we were able to confirm the detection of omicron within five hours, and we had most of the genome within eight hours. it s also worth noting we know this passenger has mild symptoms and is recovering and
