Joining us is jeremy howard. Youve been talking about masks for the past six weeks or more, right . Right. Now that were finally adopting this on a more universal basis, i want to get it to. Im excited sthoe people how quickly it can be done. Before we get to that i know you have been studyig it if people all wore masks and you have the results of a new study. Tell us about that. Since i was last on your show i put together a team from all around the world. South africa, europe. We have been studying the data and literature intensely. We have discovered that people have their masks backwards or inside out. The research has been looking at whats the impact when you wear a masks in terms of do you get sick, do you get infected if youre wearing a mask. What masks do is they stop other people from getting sick if youre sick. Remember, you dont know if youre sick. Youre most infectious at the time that youve just first been infected. We crunched the numbers and it turns out under some pretty conservative aassumptions, getting rve to wear mask could be cut the numbers. It will stop the spread of the illness. Modelling suggests that could be worth many, many thousands of dollars per mask per person. This is such a big deal that now for example, los angeles, has told everybody in the city you have to wear a mask. This is like a Public Health issue. We now know that masks are best used when somebody who might be infected wears it. If you go out to the shops and somebody is not wearing mask, they could kill you. Thats basically what we found. Its really, really important issue. What do you mean by thousands of per american mask . Are you talking about savings in terms of health care . Its not even that. Ill quote it for you. Its from a yale study that is part of the research we looked at. Hundreds of thousands of deaths could be glprevented globally i we wore the masks creating trillions of dollars in economic value. 3,000 to 6,000 per capita from reduced mortality risk and thats before we take the effect we get our economy going faster. By the way, our Research Suggests the reduction in risk, the transmission probability would be even better than that. Now that we know its important for us to wear masks or as many people as people or face covering, lets get to make basic it. I didnt raelealize it would be that easy. Im not someone that sews but were going to g through a couple of methods that require no sewing. How about the bandana . Okay. Youve got one there. I do. What you want to do is go to our website, masks theres a diagram. Fold it over. You know the deal. I dont know if you have any paper towel there but you could slip a paper towel in before you do that. I do. Just pop it in the middle before you fold. The reason for that is way this infection spreads is tiny droplets when you speak and breathe. That paper towel will absorb them. I re pop them o a third of the way down each si wched you doin r gd to go. Im a mom. Life hacks. I got my two on. Fold one side in and fold the other side into the flap. Not totefully graceful but good to go. This scientifically proven. The cotton does a great job of blocking the droplets. The paper towel absorbs them. This is going to keep everybody safe. Its going to keep you safer as well. I need my daughters bigger hair bands because these are short. You can use rubber bands now the tshirt one. Theres a patent is on our website. You end up with this k look. You talk while i cut. What we then do is i put a little safety pin at the bottom and that means that when i put the piece of paper towel in, it went fall through. The key thing ive got a hand held mike so i cant show the tie up. This fits really nicely and gives you a better covering than the handerchief. So far ive cut the tshirt. Its like this. Then im going to cut the sleeves out. Cut the sleeves out. Can you explain how to cut the sleeves . You cut kind of a long inside the top edge of the sleeve and inside the bottom edge of the sleeve. That will give you straps on each side. This is quite a nifty approach. S youre way faster than me. I did both sleeves. Show the tieing here. Over the top of your nose and the top goes behind your head down so its sitting nice and low. The bottom straps back over the top and what that does is underneath your chin. All the way up if you have a ponytail, go over the ponytail. Its giving you a nice cover all the way around your chin. I dont know if folks can s that how that. Its not bad. I would do it higher up in the back. That looks great. Again with that you can put that piece of paper towel between the two pieces. Ill show you a new trick which i actually literally thought of about ten minutes ago and tried before i went on air. It worked great. This is jeremys motherinlaw mas which c mask which is a bit more stylish. She said thooshes doing it for whole community including my 4yearold daughter who will not be seen without mer mher mask. I got her to lever a pocket which we put the paper towel in. If you want to protect yourself better, its good to have a bet r fit arou beter fit a rn the nose. I got a piece of aluminum foil. If i put this into the top it creates a piece around the nose. That nose piece helps cokeep you more safe. What a great idea. One kiquick question. Does a coffee filter work as well as a piaper towel . They are both great. The thing i seen studied is the paper towel but coffee filters seem similar. All right. Jeremy howard, great flfgs. Those videos are right up there on your website. Masksforall. Co. Another thing its so important this is not enough to protect yourself. You need the people around you to protect you which means we need laws. If you want to learn about,000 laws and tell yore governor like really out of governor in california needs to be putting these laws in place. Texts masks for all to 50409. That will send a letter to your governor demanding these laws. We dont have a federal mandate now. Not a state mandate but a lot of cities and counties are starting to mandate the masks. One step at a time. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Thank you. We crammed a lot into this half hour. Were talking jobs as well. How the vaccine is made and were making art. Well be back o all right. We are able to bring you even more content now that we have this new platform at 3 dl 00 ev we get a daily doctors note from dr. Alok patel. This one is forward looking. Im dr. Alok patel. A lot ofeeas us t18 months. Lets talk about it on todays doctors notes. Vaccine protects us against various viruses and bacteria. You get vaccine, you build up antibodies and if you ever see that foreign invader again, your body is already prepared. Right now there are over 40 different vaccine types in different stages of development. Here is a brief over view of the process. First, scientists figure out the best way to make vaccine in lab. If their idea is approved, they move onto phase one trials to make sure the vaccine is safe. Phase two trials are to make the vaccine create a good immune response, still safe and can be manufa trials can involve thousands of people, collect a lot of data to make sure the vaccine presents the specific disease in question. This is a long complicated process that can take years. For the vaccine to make it this far, its still not over. The fda reviews all the data before giving vaccine the final stamp of approval. Its incredible collaboration of scientists all over the world. The time has accelerated. We first learned of the virus in january. Were in phase one trials. Thats three months. Lightning fast. Thats why were hopeful well see a vaccine in a bit over a year. Keep in mind even at this speed theres still a lot of really close monitoring of the process to make sure we see a safe,ifvaccine. Science is awesome. All right. Thats our doctors notes from dr. Alok patel. Were taking a qui what makes you, you . Your cells. Trillions of them.

Weoun more content now that we have this new platform at 3 00 every day. Hope youre joining me. We get a daily, more content including the latest news. We talk a the latest covid19 issues related to the city of San Francisco. Our contributor definitely had some thoughts on midday live today. Lets start with mayor breed. Shes severed a lot of kbasic ke la dc basaccolades. Shes received some criticism also when it comes to handling the homeless. Where are we with this issue . Even before the pandemic, San Francisco and handling of the homeless was a routine issue. Its a difficult population. One that health needs are very unique. Its addiction, Mental Health and several others. The bottom line is the program and the plan has been shifting dailost hourly when it comes to this population. For a while talking about putting them in cot situations like youre seeing there. It was determined that they would be too close together. It wasnt a good look to have people laid out. Convention center, thats not going be having as many people as they thought they would. At the sam time theyve got to get the people that are infected and others out of shelters. It was a report this morning out of city hall theres been another outbreak in one of the shelters. I think they will be addressing that at the 1 00 press conference. If situation has been shifting hourly. The cdc issues different recommendations and they have gone from ts get them out o shelt tono, lets get them out of that into hotel rooms. At the sam time lets hand out tents so they can shelt hey, all homeless need to have their own hotel room, thats the safest way as posed the palace of fine arts. What about the argument the mayor is making we have to save some hotel rooms for fronts line woerk workers, health care workers. We do. There are homeless advocates that say people shouldnt be on the streets and be in hotel rooms. Youll be seeing movements like this to get them in there. There are several other needs out there and the cost of it and not every hotel wants to double up as a homeless shelter. All of this has to be figured w. The cost is pretty high. The hotel rooms are going for 197 a night. All of that has got to be, you dont wave a wand and everything works out. It leads to confusion and criticism and back and forth. Phil, i want to turn our attention to ventilators. Governor newsom has loaned out some to new jersey and new york. Were hearing some here in california, riverside saying we need them here and the santa clara, some officials are saying were okay right now. We could need hundreds more when we hit our peak. How does that play out for him politic politically. That remains to be seen. You hit on another paradox were all covering. Mixed messages between different agents, between the state and locals. Riverside says they need ventilators. Gavin newsom says we have a surplus and can put them in the National Stockpile but bring them back. Is a santa clara said they would be willing to pay up to 1,000 even if its broken and they can get it fixed. Heres the issue. The issue is everybody is trying to prime up f a surger peak t v you lepds them out to new york or new jersey, how do we get them back . How do they come back . How do they stop being used . All of this is swirling around. I think theres people in santa clara, they put out the bounty for vent lailators and somebody asked what about from the state. Its confusing and riverside is not happy because they say they need them. The question is can they get them back. Thats the goal. You check against what is the reaction and how its playing even reporting this is getting moreifltec a lotri me t other oo these different agencies looking for answers. All right nap was our conversation earlier today on mid day live. By the way, since that conversation we have learned, you heard us talking about the issue of the homeless and how to shelter them safely in San Francisco during the pandemic. Since then we learned the mayor announced there been t citys largest homeless shelter, msc south with 68 clients, the homeless who live there and two Staff Members testing positive for a total of 70 people. Well take a quick break on air. The conversat whaso lets do the rightver chanthing, today. Ow. Lets stay at home. Lets wash up. Lets always keep our distance please, six feet apart at least. Lets look after ourselves, as well as others. It will all be worth it. We can all do our part. So those on the front line can do their part. And when this is over, we will all, continue, to thrive. Coming back on air. One sector thats been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic is charities. Not only is their funding way down but they are unable to deliver their services that their clients den a found aayo w ey workshops to pediatric cancer patients. Great to see you. Hi. Lovely to see you again. Always. Ive been involved with kids and art for half a dozen years now since abc 7 featured the charity and its founder as a abc 7 star. I know very well what you guys do. Its amazing. For our viewers who are new to it, tell us what you normally do to support kids with cancer and their family. Our mission is to bring healing through art. Healing for our pediatric oncology family, anybody in the care circle. If theres an adult in family that has cancer. We do these by posting weekly art workshops at two major bay area hospitals. Were usually at stanford Childrens Hospital and at ucsf in San Francisco. Once a month we do what we call destination workshops where we bring families so kids that are compromised to unique destinations to create art together. Yeah. I know you found a different way. Its happening right now as we speak, live. Thank you for the invitation to join in. You walk me through whats happening here. We decided that we still really wanted to create a community and connection for all of our families and open it to all pediatric families in the bay area. This is a Live Workshop happening. Our Program Manager is there. Every week we have planned lesson and we send ngs oinforma out to the people who register and the families join into zoom so we can connect together and they have their materials ready. They are being guided through the lesson and creating art together. Its so wonderful because they get to talk to one another and have that sense of connection while they are creating. Thats amazing. This lady right here is the instructor for today, right. Are they all volunteers . I know they are all great artists. The ones on the lessons today are two other Staff Members. They are Program Managers. Our organization runs on the power of volunteers. Volunteer artists come into our hospital workshops and design all these wonderful lessons and experiences. The ones im facilitating today are our Program Managers on our staff. Why is this so important to keep up with art and have this outlet for kids battling cancer. We know that healing power of art. Art had the ability to help you deal with stress and anxiety. In all thats happening in the world, not just for the pediatric oncology family but stress is so present. Having expressive outlets like art, music, dance is so empowering. Being on isolation is familiar. They know what ha is like. Still, they know they went through their treatments where they had to be isolated for long period of times and now they have been able to attend our workshops. This is our way we feel like we can still provide a connection through these workshops. Losing donors to the Economic Uncertainty now. How are you been affected . Youre so right to say. We hear there are these opportunities to support nonprofits but were such a small staff that were focused on our families and delivering programs to them. To be able to go out there and apply for these different loans is just not in our capacity right now. Were having to find new ways to find funding and support for staying and connect our families. You dont want to put a hold on what you do. These workshops clearly seem so important and vital. Im woerndsi iwondering if youg the hold more as long as were shelter in place and how do kids join. Were going to do these workshops for as long as were shelter in place and afterwards possibly. This is a new area were finding that works with people and were in talks with the hospita to see if we can do Live Workshops with the people inpatient so they can participate while they are on isolation. Anyone can join. Anybody thats in the pediatric oncology as well as any young adults and kids impacted by cancer. You can go to our website. On the websites homepage theres a direct link to how to register for our workshop every week. All right. Thats fantastic. Great work. Im constantly impressed by what you guys do. The kids you serve and the joy you bring. Folks interested in learning more can get more information at kidsandart. O kidsandart. Org. Thank you so much for your continued support and belief in our organization and what we do. Sending a virtual hug to all of you. Good luck. Thank you.
