S1: A breakdown of sports betting and how props 26 and 27 fit in. Plus an excerpt of Boondocks. That's ahead on Midday Edition. Last week , Governor Gavin Newsom announced California's COVID 19 state of emergency would end in February. Now , as the nation enters its flu season with highly contagious COVID variants and widespread RSV , there are concerns we may be lowering our guard too soon. Joining me with more on all things COVID 19 is our frequent guest , Dr. Eric Topol , director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Hoya. Dr. Topol , welcome back.

S2: I mean , we're going to go through another wave in the weeks ahead. And so it's hard to forecast how long that's going to last , how bad it's going to be , and whether there'll be further wave. So I think it's optimistic to think that we'll be out of the woods by then. But let's see. Let's see where it takes us. Right now things are looking quite good. And so you get the illusion that we're just going to get better. But we're already seeing signs in New York and elsewhere that COVID is starting to invert in terms of getting a little bit worse. And it's likely to continue. And as you mentioned at the top , we also have a couple of other viruses to reckon with.

S2: Good. The president is having his booster. And we know that boosters in general help , particularly people over age 50 , prevent deaths and hospitalization. And we have data from the CDC that shows even 18 to 49 years of age boosters reduce hospitalization during the A5 wave , which was the wave that we're just getting over now. I had my Bivalent booster weeks ago , and we also have new data from the HO lab in Columbia which shows that to be a five booster really isn't that different from the original booster ? That is , it augments arm unity , it gets up , revs up the neutralizing antibodies and our T cells to take on new variants like the ones that we're going to be facing in the weeks ahead. But it isn't as special as some people had thought it might be in terms of being really strong against five because the original booster has very similar properties. So yeah , I've had it. I've had the typical response that I get from each of these shots after the first one , which was chills , fever , headaches , feeling really profoundly tired for a day , day and a half. But would I rather have that than to get COVID and the possibility of long COVID ? Absolutely. So I know a lot of people who get the boosters , they don't have a problem at all. I'm just one of those reactors , which I'm sure many of the listeners can identify with.

S2: Now there's a very similar immune escape variant. Singapore just went through the first wave in the world and they have a very high booster rate over double what we have here in the U.S. and they withstood that challenge very well , likely because of the vaccines. They did not have much of a bump in hospital admissions or ICU , their deaths. There was some , but not nearly what might have been without the vaccine. So that's a really good proxy telling us that vaccines will protect against even the more immune escape variants.

S2: Yes , they really help and they should be used in people if you have COVID. So help guide when they can get back because it's typically at least seven eight days and 2.5 , like the CDC guideline is just asking for trouble. So if the rapid tests are helpful for diagnosis and also for guidance about isolation length.

S2: We've seen success in a vaccine in India. It was actually built in the U.S. at Washington University in St Louis and also in China. But we do not have vaccines in late trials here in the United States. We do have a company that has outlicensing the India vaccine , and we have little support from FDA or this government right now to push on nasal vaccines. Best way to stop infections and transmission. You know , the big bet in this country has been made on shot and there's never been the priority for the nasal vaccine. Some of our best academic labs , like I mentioned. Wash U. There's also Mt. Sinai that is developing in Mexico. And there's little enthusiasm and resources that have been put into it. Meanwhile , our government purchased 171 million booster shots , which is 30 billion plus dollars at cost. A lot of those funds for these boosters aren't going to get used. That's clear. They should , but they won't. A lot of those funds could be put towards accelerating the nasal vaccine programs that are underway , but at much earlier stages than overseas.

S2: 95 or 95. That's going to give you protection against these viruses when you're indoors , when you're in groups , when you're going into places that you have no idea what the status are , the people with respect to their potential infections or ability to spread. But the real problem with RSV is , of course , is the children. And we're already seeing places in the United States hospitals outside of our region that are getting under strain because of RSV in children , you know , getting quite ill. And also the same group that's susceptible to flu and COVID , the older folks , particularly immunocompromised within them , they are potentially a hazard for flu and RSV as well. So , you know , just gearing up with the respiratory , these are respiratory viruses. We know how to protect against them. We just have to use the tools we have.

S1: Rady Children's Hospital is seeing a surge of the respiratory illness , RSV , like what's being reported nationwide with all of these different viruses circulating. How does that affect the health risk for kids ? Right.

S2: Well , of course , in some places that are in colder climates where more people are indoors without ventilation , the RSV problem is even worse than here in San Diego in Rady. But yeah , this triple dimmock of flu RSV , COVID , I mean , we've had enough of COVID no less the other two viruses , but we do know how to work against this. And that's why it's important for the kids as well as older adults to take all the precautions that they can. And , you know , if some if if a child is not well , it's not a good thing for that child to be in school and potentially spreading , whether it's , you know , RSV or or any other virus. So we have to be really attentive to whether it's child care centers or schools , because kids can certainly be a vector for respiratory infections and we don't want that to happen.

S2: But on the other , you know , if you're hit hard with any one of these viruses , that's a counterforce. So , yeah , the only specific immunity you gain from an infection , that particular virus , it doesn't necessarily going to protect you from other viruses , of course. So the best thing is to avoid these , especially in the high risk groups for RSV , it's the young children and for COVID and influenza. It's particularly people who are seniors in the older , older age groups.

S2: That is very helpful for the immunocompromised. So we're going to lose that edge. And that's why it's all the more important for people who are immunocompromised to keep up with their boosters and try to stay ahead , get their immune system as revved up as much as possible against COVID. But the problem is the virus keeps evolving. It's under pressure from our vaccines , from our boosters and our infections. And the virus is evolving rapidly. And we don't have the replacement therapies , whether it's for EV , you showed other monoclonal antibodies. If we do meet up with resistance against packs or we don't have a backup pill right now. So everything we can do to prevent getting infection or reinfection , prevent getting long COVID and prevent serious or severe illness. And so we we can do this with what we have today , but it's really requires. Diligent attention to the tools , including boosters especially , but also high quality mask.

S4: California voters are being asked to enshrine reproductive rights into the state constitution in the upcoming election. Proposition one would amend the California Constitution to say the state shall not deny or interfere with an individual's right to have an abortion or choose or refuse contraceptives. Although these rights are already protected by state law , supporters say having them in the state constitution gives California more leverage against any further federal moves against abortion rights. Opponents say the proposition is unnecessary and may interfere with restrictions on later term abortions. Joining me is Jeremy White , reporter for Politico's California Playbook. And Jeremy , welcome.

S3: And even before we learned that the Supreme Court was indeed going to overturn that precedent. You saw lawmakers in the state legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom preparing for the likelihood this was something that folks saw coming , especially when Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court. So this is one part of a multipronged strategy California has employed to respond to that. Other pieces , including laws limiting the enforcement of other states , laws , more money to pay for reproductive procedures here in California.

S3: As I noted , they passed even more this year. But the fear among supporters and similarly the rationale for this initiative is we've just seen the U.S. Supreme Court overturn what was thought to be settled law. And so folks just want to ensure that , say , if Congress were to pass a law restricting abortion , what have you , that California's autonomy to pass its own abortion restrictions would be enshrined in the Constitution , which is the highest and most difficult to dislodge level of legal protection.

S3: Opponents have argued essentially that this goes too far by overriding any sort of restrictions on at what point a woman can obtain an abortion. I'm not so sure that's the case. There are various other laws restricting that , and I think that's something that would perhaps end up being sorted out in the courts. But that that is essentially the argument that proponents make , which is that this is either unnecessary and therefore sort of a stunt , or that it goes further than what's already in the law.
