>> joining us live now is dr. karin shavelson, the chief medical officer of marin health. what is your reaction to what the state is laying out. does the timing make sense to you now? the transition to the endemic phase of the pandemic? >> the evidence suggests that it is time to look to move to an endemic phase. i think the public's appetite for stringent controls are fading. we all want to get back to life as normal. i think this lays out a plan that is well thought out, and uses the evidence of the past couple of years to do the best that we can, as governor newsom said. we don't have a crystal ball, but it allows us some confidence as we start to move forward. we may take two steps forward and maybe one small step back along the way, but i think it's a great starting point for moving into something that looks more endemic. >> part of the plan is moving away from mandates, and putting

more of an emphasis on prevention and quick reaction to outbreaks. with the risk of new variants popping up, do you think it's the right call? >> i do. time will tell, but from what we are seeing right now, this is absolutely the way to go. there are a couple of important pieces we need to remember, that is, as a pediatrician, i have to remind our viewers at the littlest people are not yet vaccinated. we have to be mindful of what that looks like, and hopefully those vaccinations will come soon. let's not forget the elderly, the frail, the sick, those amongst us who do not have the most robust immune systems. it's our obligation as a community, as a society, to look out for those less fortunate than those of us who may have healthy immune systems. and maybe a bit of a struggle to find that balance, and i think we all need to be flexible

and understanding, but i think it is time to try to move forward in a way that captures the best interests of our overall society, but also allows us to try to start living a bit more of a normal life. >> you mentioned young kids and seniors. booster rates have been lacking even in the bay area. the issue of waning immunity, it doesn't make sense to focus lust on the wider population, and more on the targeted groups like children and seniors? >> the deaths that we are seeing are often in the frail or the sick and the elderly. as much as we are going to target our efforts, that seems to be the way to go. the notion of a widespread request or demand that people receive boosters, or even vaccinations, i think we have seen the best that we are going to see. somebody who has decided to pass on a booster, i think the odds of convincing somebody in their 30s who is completely healthy to get their boosters if they have not already done so is falling. if we target our efforts on those most likely to become quite sick or even, unfortunately, die from covid,

that is probably the best use of resources at this time. that being said, i can't help but, as a physician, to beg any of you who are not vaccinated or boosted, to please consider doing so. it is not too late. it is never too late. >> there has been a lot of reflecting on lessons learned over the past 2 years. are there any lessons you have learned in marin county that are now part of the playbook living forward? >> a really important thing for people to understand is that while governor newsom's plan is very rich in equipment, masks, ventilators, things like that, which is very important, but we have come to see during the pandemic is if you do not have the trained skilled staff to operate the ventilators, it doesn't matter if you have 10 or 100. you have to be mindful of protecting our healthcare workforce and our first responders. whether we all like it or not, we are key to supporting all of you during

this pandemic, not just with covid, but with all of the other myriad of illnesses and accidents and things that can happen. it is imperative that we really look critically at our staffing and how we train in the future, and what that looks like. governor newsom's plan does include some staffing models, but i would like to see more detail on that. i think at the end of the day, we need the doctors and the nurses and the paramedics and the respiratory therapist to take care of our patients. >> we say thank you to all of the people on the front lines and first responders. dr. shavelson, thank you for your time. let's take a live look at san jose, where the cities booster vaccine mandate might be changing soon. there is a reported new proposal that would change san jose's covid-19 booster mandate for city workers to a testing requirement. it would require all employees to test twice per week unless they show proof of full vaccination, including a booster shot. the world health organization wars a sub- variant of omicron is gaining traction.

being asked tonight after police broke up a fight between teenagers at a mall in new jersey. cell phone video captured the situation, and it shows a white teenager getting into an argument and tussle with a black teenager. when officers got there to break them up, it appeared that the officer pulled the white teen away without restraint, but officers pinned the black scene to the ground and handcuffed him. some have criticized law enforcement for treating the two differently. >> it's because he's black. >> they don't know how to treat the situation and deal with the situation equally and fairly, so they should not be able to deal with the situation at all. >> that situation is even catching the attention of the new jersey governor phil murphy. >> i'm deeply disturbed by what appears to be a racially disparate treatment in the video. we are, underscore with emphasis, that we are committed to increasing the trust between law enforcement on the one hand, and the communities they serve on the other. >> the new jersey naacp is
