Work flow, focusing again on supply chains, physical and environmental considerations. Planning to do what we needed to do on ppe, the planning we need to do to make sure the conditions are set so that we can move forward with modifications of the stay at home for businesses as one example. As we move into phase two, where businesses can begin to reopen, we need to make sure that that guidance is abided by and it is organized in a very deliberative way. So when are we going to be ready for stage two . First well be watching the hospital and icu trends carefully and thoughtfully, and they need to remain stable for us to remain confident that we are in a position where the stayathome orders could be modified in a way that would continue to maintain lower risk. We need to maintain hospital Surge Capacity so that as we move through to the next stage, we can be confident that if there are any increased infections from increased movement that we do have the ability to respond and care for those patients. We need to make sure that there is the ppe available to support the demands that will come not only from the existing environment, the existing conditions that were, in but also anticipating what the needs will be for the future and being sure that were confident we can secure those. We need to make sure there is sufficient Testing Capacity to meet the demand. Thats been a key focus of much of our work, and youve heard a lot about our plans.

Beginning today, people across the u. S. Can order the test on their website without needing a doctors permission. The test does cost 119. It requires you to get your blood drawn at one of quests 2200 locations. Its not clear if you can be immune to the coronavirus. So antibodies are a sign that there is some level of protection against future infections. And to discuss this topic more indepth, we have dr. Alok patel, our abc7 news contributor. I feel like were inned me school. Were learning a little bit more. Youre teaching us. So tell us about antibodies and why theyre so important. Larry, youre totally right. I think this is the most the public has ever known or even been curious about infectious disease, for the wrong reason. But im glad were getting this discussion out there. So antibodies are what our immune system would basically build to protect us against infections. Theyre proteins. The reason why were all talking about it right now is an Antibody Test different than the viral genetic test would be able to tell who has been exposed to coronavirus in the past. And so you get infected, you get covid19, you have symptoms or not, your immune system should build up these proteins over time. And thats what this test is looking for. How accurate are these tests . That is the big topic of discussion right now. So as of right now, the fda has approved i believe seven or eight of these Antibody Test, but there are something of around 122 upwards of 155 of these tests on the market. Its important people pay byhe could ecause some of the have false negatives or false positives. And even a really small false positive ratio, so lets say there is 1 false positives, thats a big deal because you could be potentially giving someone false hope and thinking theyve been exposed when in fact they havent. There is other coronaviruses out there, and there is a possible for there to be a mixup. Right now this is something everyone is paying a lot of attention to. You have to look at with this extra lens knowing it may not be an fda approved test. The tests are kind of expensive. We talked about 119 per person you. Think prices will eventually go down . And is this something that the average person should rush to go do just because theyre curious and want to know . I certainly understand why it would be tempting to rush and do this. I think there are a lot of things to take into account. We mentioned already the liability of the test. Your personal exposure, what your situation, if you need to get back into a workforce, talking to your employer, et cetera. The Quest Diagnostic test from what i read was about 119. There are other tests out that are getting covered by insurance companies. The hope is in the future insurers will work with people. I know this is a big topic of discussion in new york city. I can add, if people think they should go out and get this, again, the studies are kind of up in the air right now. So i would people really need to take their own individual situation into account, and not necessarily think that this test could be a slamdunk, that you have immunity for a long amount of time. We do suspect people will be protected if theyve had it, but we are learning more and more as the days go. All right. Im glad you mentioned that, because that dovetails into my next question. The premise with most viruss is that you have the antibodies, youve been exposed you fought off the virus, and now theoretically you should be immune. But with coronavirus, weve seen these random reports from all over the world of reinfection. So what do you make of that . Is it possible to get this the Second Time Around or is it a variation of the strain . Whats going on with that . Larry, from everything weve read, weve suspect that some of those cases that tested positive and turn out to be negative or negative and then positive and then negative may have been an issue with the test themselves. There isnt any proof of somebody getting covid19, recovering, testing negative and then getting it again. And like i mentioned, i dont personally know of any disease where you can build antibodies and not get some level of immunity. With sars virus, there was demonstrable immunity for several years. In the lab with animal testing, theyve shown that the antibodies produced from this coronavirus also confer some immunity. But the question now remains is how much immunity do you get and how long does it last. I still think its going to be important for us to kind of track these andy body tests to see who has it. But again, we have to be realistic about what these results tell us in terms of how many people are protected and how strategically we can reopen society. And in the meantime, keep washing your hands and social distance. Dr. Patel, thanks for your time. Well see you tomorrow. Kristen . All right, larry, thanks. A new poll gives us a glimpse at how many people wouldnt get help if they became infected with the coronavirus. The gallupwest health care pshows that nearly one in ten adults say costs would keep them from seeking treatment if they thought they were infected.

Well have a much cooler pattern for the remainder of the week, into the weekend, and sprinkles are possible on sunday. Now heres whats happen manage the atmosphere thats producing the pattern we have right now. High pressure system, which has been in control of our weather warmup inland is sliding southward. That lowpressure system to our north with its trailing cold front is moving just far enough to the south to produce stronger onshore flow, wind flow. And that breezy pattern is going last for several day, and thats going to bring us a much cooler pattern over the next several days. And here is the effect of that onshore flow right now, looking at the forecast animation. You see high clouds moving over during the overnight hours, as well as low clouds and fog forming near the coast and bay. And even during the day tomorrow as the low clouds burn back to the coastline a bit, the high clouds will continue moving throe s filtere sunshine tomorrow in our inland areas and over the bay, and lowl ine.
