Doctors believe biden is suffering a rare case of rebound positivity experienced by some coronavirus patients. earlier i asked dr peter hotez, co—director of the texas children's hospital center for vaccine development how a covid rebound infection comes about. well, what happens is, you know, you take a course of paxlovid, which you typically give early on in the course of the illness in order to stop virus replication. after a five—day course that should be the end of it, particularly if you are also vaccinated in addition to getting the medicine. but in the clinical trials for paxlovid ...

Minutes. what it is you're going to be watching for, of course, as we hear about the president's condition, his condition progress and now, of course, his treatment of paxlovid. >> yeah, i think there's both a good news story and a concerning news story. the good news story, he is being maxed out on interventions, as everyone has been reporting he's been vaccinated and doubly boosted. he's on paxlovid which works in the early phase of inhibiting virus replication, the concerning news is his age and we know that as good as two boosts are which it is the best we can do, the centers for disease c...

Response we're always going to be lagging, chasinging and hoping our immunity would outpace these variants? >> it doesn't have to be that way, laura, and the reason we say that, that is true. when you have a lot of dynamics of a virus replication in the community, you give a virus more of an opportunity to mutate. more likely, you'll get a new variant. by diminishing the circulation of virus in the community by vaccinations and boosting and masking where appropriate, and testing so that you can keep people separated who are infected, you cut down on that likelihood that you're going to get new...

Works is it initially, you're exposed and the virus reproduced itself hundreds and thousands of time ands you have no symptoms. that is when you're the most contagious, before you ever develop symptoms. and then you start to develop symptoms and then the virus reproduction becomes less and less. and then as your symptoms abate, meaning decrease, then the virus replication is no longer part of the disease process any more. so i think it is perfectly reasonable that when people are asymptomatic after having an infection, they could go back to school, you know, wear a mask, preferably, then havin...

>> hi, ari. nice to be on. >> what did your study find? >> yeah. so we started looking at cbd because it has some antiinflammatory functions and we thought it would prevent the later stages of disease where disease goes haywire. we tested it and to our surprise, it directly blocks virus replication among cells. and so we tested it in animal models with our colleagues at the university of louisville. and animals taking cbd had significantly less replication. and there are patients who take cbd. it's an fda approved version, not oils, to treat epilepsy. and comparing patient records of those wit...
