Now, the Los Alamos National laboratory published a study saying a new strain emerged and is becoming dominant. The study reviewed 6,000 of the genomes and scientists elsewhere said it brought interesting results. The data showed it might be more contagious than the original strain found in china and, you know, the strain that originally, you know, found in italy. Reporter professor lu an Infectious Disease specialist at Uc Berkeley School of Public Health said what is significant is the study focused on the so called spike protein that enables the virus to infect humans. The function is to attach and then allow the virus to enter into the human cell. Reporter the study said that researchers found 14 mutations and prompted them to write a warning, quote, the mutations spike d614 g is of urgent concern and began spreading in europe in early february. When introduced to new regions, it becomes the dominant form. This is an important report that shows it and the study rai big concern. Researchers said there are 62 vaccine approaches being developed for the new coronavirus. If the virus is significantly mutating, vaccines developed for a previous strain may not work. Where searchers have been posting studies online to share knowledge quickly. The alamo study hasnt been through a rigorous peer review normally required. I should caution that its not really, really, you know, really clearcut. Reporter dr.

Here to talk about it are one and only, talk about the produce changes in california and the supply chain. Number one in the program and heart, our own expert, mr. Bob. Good morning, sir. Good morning, how are you . Im great. Listen, i am sure there is a lot of negativity but there has to be positives coming out of it. What are they. Reporter one of the things we wanted to talk about is the asparagus out of the Stockton Lodi area. When the pan pandemic began and restaurants closed down, their produce purchase volume was off by 50 and had a Significant Impact on local growers like asparagus growers. A big portion of the asparagus comes from mexico typically because of the problems with imports across the border, they have shut down mexico, which helped local growers to knowds tent. So, jacob, malcolm and birch, the prime distributor of asparagus in the region was nice enough to bring a series of different items that i thought we could talk about. Bob, now, if i walked into a raleys and there was a huge display on asparagus. How do you know when its fresh or ripe . To tell if its ripe, look at the tip. If its firm and has a slight purple hue to it, you know its okay. A yellowish look, you know its past the time and you stay away from that one. One of the types is a ruby haze, a purple asparagus and compared to the green asparagus. It will have 20 more sugar content and less fiber. And a flavor of artichoke after its grilled. You can sautc, steam or frill. Take your thicker asparagus. It will take more time to grill. If youre looking for something to put in the salad and you want to use a pencil asparagus. Is this out of stockton, box, a lot of this . It does. Is come comes out of stockton. That is march through midday and winding do up. As i said, during the beginning of the season, they were in trouble because the restaurant trade was off so much. The restaurant produce buying is off 50 to 60 since were doing dropby or pickups. What about Grocery Stores, though . I imagine they have seen an uptick like lettuce and things like that . It depends, steve. The deli portion is down 20 . As people arinin, theyre buying items with longer shelf life and transforms into the produce department. And they typically have a 10 to 15day should elf. And theyre easy to handle. People are making less frequent visits to the Grocery Stores. So, theyre a big solution. And lets get into other items. The cherry season. This is gasias favorite. Right. And you said the early april rains were not a good thing issue right . No, no, i understand the season is going to be not as good as in the past. About 80 of bing cherries are exported out of the u. S. This year, there will be little exporting, unless there is a major turn around in the virus. That coupled with the fact that rain played a trick on the cherries as they were getting ready to get into their full buds. The anticipation is that the season will be a shorter season. Productivity is going to be way down. The other thing is impacted, i am sorry, go ahead, steve. I was going to say what about strawberries. Strawberries will be a bit of a problem. Theyre hand harvested. Items like tomatos will have a lesser impact the to get the workers out there and maintain a safe distance is a bit of a problem. Even though they look great, theyre going to be in shorter supply and moving forward, leavy items like romaine or iceberg, the growers are planting less. Theyre not sure how long the covid19 is going to last. So in order to ensure theyre not throwing the crops away, theyre planting at 60 to 75 of what they normally would and that applies for the leavy greens and summer squash, zoo 69y and other items. And what about the Imperial Valley out of mexico. Are we going to see that pick up or is it going to be local. Maybe to Half Moon Bayer stockton and fresno. I think you will find more local product. The imports, as i said, crossing the border because transportation is difficult to get trucks. The covid scared a lot of people and put restrictions. Their is not as much product out of mexico as in the past years and were winding into the busiest time of the year for local growers. It could be a good thing and depends, steve, on how the Grocery Stores are loosening up and how son restaurants get back to a semi normal mode of operation. All right, that is bob with borlato. The top tip is asparagus . Yeah, for right now. I would take the asparagus. Its fresh and tasty. If you can find the purple asparagus, try that. Its something i think you will enjoy. All right, the produce expert. We have seen positives and negatives out there the last few months. Thank you, bob. Appreciate the update. Okay, steve, thanks. Youre welcome. And back to the desk new.

I have to ask you, being on the front lines of the crisis day in and day out, could you please describe the experience over the last few months. Well, its been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. Every day has been different than the next. We have endured all sorts of challenges that i am so proud to be a part of a team that is consistently working together, creating new innovations and doing the best we can to meet every challenge that comes every day. I think that we have been incredibly lucky that our state and our local leaders have had the foresight to shelter in place early and to all sorts of things that have minimized the affect of this virus on our day today. Yeah. And now, were at the point where we can breathe a little bit, but not fully exchange. So, ready to face steps. Was there any particular shift the last few months where you took time to yourself and looked around. You thought to yourself, maybe, we are inundated. I am not sure if were going to get through this day. Did that ever occur . That occurred several times. I think, you know, a few weeks ago when we were in the midst of preparing for the one of the, like every other hospital throughout the nation, we had to think about how we were going to face a potential onslaught of patients that, with our current resources, we would have to shift the way we do everything. And a matter of a week anda half, we had to ready different units for potential icu overflow. We opened two of those win a week and a third was on standby. Luckily we still have no the had to moves into thaspace. But, kind of facing the unknown in that situation and anticipateing the worse was a challenge for everyone. And i know the doctors and nurses out there, there has been a debate about going to work and coming home. I understand you live with some of your best friends and they have children. How is that internal debate among yourself . They fear, and i say they, the doctors across the country and nurses, about bringing the virus from the hospital into the home affecting lived ones. Its, this is a challenge we have never faced. I hop we never have to again. Using the same n95 for an entire shift goes against everything we have ever been taught about Infection Control and disease transmission and protecting ourselves and protecting others. But its the the reality of the situation, and in this hospital, we have unnamed heros that are helping protect us every day. People who ensure we have the supplies we do have. All sorts of people on vary yaws levels of our team have done the best they can to keep us safe.

Before i let you go, i have an older sister who is a nurse in california at a major hospital. And i hear about the long days, the hard days. Their are the positive days, anna, and was theres a moment where it made you smile one day at the hospital that you were working that you can share with the viewers here. Yup. I hold a slightly different role than a lot of our other bedside nurses. I help to coordinate the supplies and equipment, which has been a challenge the past few weeks. I did my pretty consuming, the past few weeks, but last saturday, i did my first patient care shift. Ourers ines have come together in such an incredible way and they have developed all sorts of different protocols to conserve ppe, to provide the best care for our patients. They have developed what they call the icu swim team.
