covid, covid, covid, yes, is number one in california. look, we all know what's happened. thousands of people in this state have died. hundreds of thousands have been impacted. schools closed. the economy ravaged. it's just been a disaster. but the good news is a surge comes through with the omicron. the fact that california ranks 42nd in per capita cases, 42nd. near the bottom, which is the best you can be. so our caseloads relative to other countries and other states are very low. no, that doesn't even make up for a single person dying from covid, but relative to what's going on other places, we're doing pretty good, and let's hope it continues in the months to come. >> that's number one. what is the second biggest development in the state this past year? >> i bet this doesn't surprise you either, terry. the recall. my goodness what an event in california. there were five previous efforts to recall the governor from the state, and you know what else? the sixth one happened. the sixth one got to newsom and qualified. when he qualified, people were complaining about taxes,

covid deaths in the u.s. for children have been healthy children and now countries like germany now restrict the covid vaccine underage 30 because of heart complications. i'm pro vaccine, i'm vaccinated but we have a modern day mccarthyism in someone asks a question about boosters in young people. just 12 weeks ago the fda external experts voted 16 to 2 vote not to vaccinate for those under 18, but then returned to vote for all but did not queen the external experts. cdc did the same, as a result, got their broad booster recommendation by circumventing the external experts who opposed it. health official experts justify it by claiming declining antibody tiders but ignore the study done by the community just last week itself finding to be effective against omicron. vaccine boosters used on young people without any supporting clinical data. those vaccine doses to boost young people should be going to the 93% of the population of the world in low income countries who have received no vaccine. let me be clear. no

unvaccinated people, covid buried vaccinated people, covid. boosted people, also covid. this christmas, covid was more popular then robbing a bloomingdale's with 30 of your closest friends. it hasn't gone anywhere. just yesterday the united states set a new record of covid cases. that's despite our leaders telling us repeatedly that we just did the right things, covid would be behind us. we just got the shots, we just closed our businesses and schools. we just stayed inside of our homes instead of indulging in luxuries like basic human interaction and gainful employment. we would defeat this virus. they should feel lucky they work for the government, because if they didn't, they'd get fired! they were so wrong! and so, like greg gutfeld making his 9 millionth drug use joke about his talented and brilliant cohost, it's time to admit that what they're doing isn't working and they really need to lay off. joe biden was almost there. almost. on monday, he admitted this. has mack there is no federal solution. this gets solved state-level. >> kat: biden believed that, then why

cases, covid-19 cases. and i want to start by acknowledging how tired, worried and frustrated i know you are. i know how you're feeling. for many of you this will be the first or even second christmas where you look across the table, there will be an empty kitchen chair there. tens of millions have gotten sick. we've all experienced upheaval in our lives. so while covid has been a tough adversary, we've shown that we are tougher. tougher because we have the power of science and vaccines that prevent illness and save lives. and tougher because of our resolve, so that -- let me answer some questions that lay out the steps the vice-president and i are taking to prepare for the rising number of cases experts tell us we can expect in the weeks ahead. first, how concerned should you be about omicron which is now the dominant variant in this country, and it happened so quickly? the answer is straightforward. if you're not fully vaccinated, you have good reason to be concerned. you're at a high risk of getting sick

there had been some concern about rising covid cases. but organizers say they are confident they can keep everybody safe and you can watch the 100 33rd rose parade on kron 4 and on kron on live on new year's day. our coverage begins at 06:00am the parade begins commercial free at 8. >> beginning february first, everyone will be required to show proof of vaccination, including a booster shot in order to attend events at chase center. the announcement was made today along with golden state warriors as they try to adjust to the spread of the omicron variant individuals must have received the booster at least a week before the date of the event. people under the age of 12 must show proof of full vaccination or provide a negative test taken within 24 hours of the event. >> and now kron 4 sports from the 18 t fiber sports desk. >> it feels like the forty-niners quarterback saga has been going on longer than disney has been cranking out. kids hit movies head coach kyle shanahan announced that quarterback jimmy garoppolo has a grade. 3 sprain of

there are these other long covid conditions. many people who have symptoms that have not gone away postinfection, do you see this 1.1 5 billion as key to unlocking some of the clues to those conditions as well? >> i do. please look at the symptoms people are having with long covid and then compare that to what has been happening with chronic fatigue syndrome, there is a great deal of similarity. this time we know what the inciting agent was. my hope would be that by figuring it out, we know what starts long covid and then we will be able to extrapolate from that -- we are working on that already. we have not gotten the big answers we need. >> there have been many trials with vaccines and therapeutics. the other side of public health has struggled a lot. given that you're leaving and you can look from a bird's-eye view at what is going on, how would you rearrange funding to help? >> there is a lot of conversation going on about that right now. we must not let the lessons of covid-19 the lost. some other kind of pathogen, maybe a

itomes back, all the way back to covid and covid fatigue. the fact of the mat certificate our lives are back to normal and whether it is doing this broadcast once again remotely, we'll be on more zoom calls, so many flights were cancelled over the holidays because of flight attend amounts and other staff members who are sidelined over covid. we just are reminded over and over again that we have not turned the corner. this is a challenge for the president and pushing policies, especially on things like build back better or even the infrastructure bill that don't seem to many voters to be directly related to the challenges that they are having right at this very moment. there is only so much that any president could do in beating back the pandemic. but as i said, i think the challenge for the president will always be finding somsuccess there. he had early success or at least people were giving him credit in part because you know, we were getting people vaccinate, we were et going passed that early phase. delta put that in a very different cont

there were 38,835 new covid cases confirmed today. the governor says hospitalizations are increasing, but are stable compared to this time last year. out of those 38,000 new covid cases statewide, 474 patients are in the icu with intubation, and 63 new deaths were confirmed. earlier this month, a 53-year-old nurse was indicted by south carolina grand jury for producing fake vaccine cards. she faces up to 15 years in prison. jesse? >> jesse: matt finn, thank you. torch a fox news christmas tree, you are out. next day walking around, but don't you dare doctor a va card. it is crazy. an educator who spoke out against critical race theory on the show is now facing calls for his firing, and he joins us next to tell us the latest. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> jesse: and indiana educator named tony kinnett recently came on the show to speak out against critical race theory in his school district. he exposed the fact that counter to what officials were telling parents, racists crt was, inxp fact, been taught to kids. >> we can officially tell parents w

this is the non—covid part of intensive care. covid patients are in bays leading off this area. of eleven who are seriously ill here with the virus, the hospital says nine have not been vaccinated. tammy, who is a matron, is concerned about the pressure on staff. we've got high numbers of sickness, we've got high vacancy rates. having the additional icu beds open has created, you know, a stretch on our staff and our resources already. it all adds to the strain which tammy and her colleagues are feeling. i am just so proud of all the nurses that work here, and doctors and our health professionals and all our support staff, because they have been absolutely incredible. and how are you feeling? hello, hi. there's brighter news elsewhere in the hospital, with doctors calling patients about a new covid pill. we are offering patients the opportunity to receive medication to reduce the risk of hospitalisation from covid. the drug molnupiravir is being dispatched from the hospital pharmacy by courier for the first time today, to vulnerab

covid shutdowns and delays have put global supply chains out of kilter. we already know it's a sensitive system. the evergiven, the ship that blocked the suez canal six days in march, caused massive backlogs, but it's covid that's done the real damage. container lines are run like train lines. they have schedules, and they're meant to call at fixed times for fixed durations, and that'sjust not happening, because they can't. and the of sending shipping containers by sea has risen dramatically. it has absolutely gone crazy this year. so if you're looking at short—term freight rates from asia to europe, you're looking at a 366% increase. longer—term rates, locked in 12 months in advance, have gone up even more. the shipping container industry is on course to make vast record profits this year. ports are working longer hours to keep trade moving. more ships are on order. but it will take time for things to settle down. the huge disruption caused by covid—19 has exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains. in some ways, they've held up remarkably wel

or has died from covid. so that is very concerning, that they're probably not opening their eyes to that. the other thing is look at the people suffering out there with long-term covid. and you know, i think we're almost going to have to look way back in the early polls had stated that there's anywhere from 12 to 17% of individuals who said they would never get vaccinated. well, those are coming true. i think we're going to be able to say all we want, those people will never change. we still can't give up. but it's probably going to be ultimate mandates that will push that group over, and even then they're going to take it to court and fight. in the meantime, everybody else who's willing, especially those that are socially vulnerable or medically vulnerable, we have to find a way. i'm very concerned we still have nursing homes without third boosters and people over 65. the numbers have to go up to save lives. >> they're just not moving fast enough with that. dr. scott miscovich, thank you as always for askin

you have seen that with covid-19. -- as fast as you can. you have seen that with covid-19. the speed at which vaccines were developed, in 11 months. we are a big player on that -- in that. we basically turned nih into a venture-capital organization. found inventors and small businesses and universities, and gave them a chance to ramp up what might've taken five years to do, to get it done in a few months. that's what we have a lot of tests now on pharmacy shelves and something like 3 million of them being done today, because all of those technologies were given a chance to really scale u p rapidly. to places where nih can do things right, now that we've had this experience with covid-19. that is why this new part of nih , in advanced research project agency for health, has been proposed by the president and strongly supported by myself and others, in congress seems very interested in putting money and authorization into this. it would be kind of different, because it would be very fast-moving,. willing to take risks, very willing to fail on things that are high risk but fai

pre-covid, i did definitely travel a lot, and i think what we've all learned during covid is that connections can be built remotely. and certainly, you know -- my fun fact was i became ceo september 1, 2019 and literally six months and 11 days after becoming ceo, covid, you know, the pandemic was declared. and so i've had a very interesting first couple of years, and i built really strong relationships by leveraging technology and really thinking about how do you build connections? and i think one of the great learnings out of covid is this idea of omniconnections. i think too many people focus on remote work and hybrid work and physical location as opposed to, you know, how do you connect with people? when do you need to do it physically? you know, how to be intentional, and you know, what's required for connection. david: so how do you keep up with what's going on around the world? i mean, you have so many consultants. and do you know all the big projects? do you get reports daily or weekly or monthly about what's going on or if there are problems? and do you have to go out and woo the clie

guest: the database i am speaking about is covid driven, it is covid relevant. let me give you a few examples. if you take germany, france, the nhs, so the u.k. and israel, significant countries with fully digital database, who has been vaccinated, what date and where. you cannot move from one county to another, one state to another or even share a paper from your first vaccine, not say that you have been vaccinated for the second one, and actually get your third one if you are not eligible. that was months ago in america. this is not possible because the information is centralized, completely digital, and anywhere you go, they know by name on what date you have been vaccinated, your age, id number and how many vaccines you have. also, in certain countries, that makes it more interesting and more insightful for governments to make decisions. a country like israel has an app. you get vaccinated, first of all, they call or invite you, digitally, or they send you a text message, do you want to get vaccinated? here are your dates and options. you go to your appointm

loud and clear — covid is serious. some of the shifts that i have had are the toughtest i've ever had. and the race to vaccinate the public. i got the letter yesterday, and i'm booked in today. i three, two, one! welcome back, everyone! cheering. lockdown ends. i can literally not stress how much i missed being able to go out. but there's the threat of a new variant. there is a tidal wave of omicron coming. the year began with intensifying pressure on the nhs. covid infections were rising, and there was a worrying increase in hospital admissions. the second wave of the virus was going to prove more deadly than the first. with covid cases rising, the new school term began with confusion. some teachers and children stayed at home. there's 21 members of staff that have opted not come into school, because they would consider it to be an unsafe environment. in my school, that's led to nursery, year 3—4 not coming to school. the empty classrooms were a warning of what was coming. another lockdown announced in the uk's nati

the number of people in hospital in england with covid has risen to nearly 10,500. meanwhile, pharmacists in the uk are warning of patchy supplies of rapid covid tests. demand hasjumped recently, because people are being advised to test themselves before going to events or to see family and friends, and also because of changes allowing those with covid in england to end isolation after seven days as long as they test negative. the government says more kits are being made available. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns has more. hello. thank you for what you are doing. happy new year to you. the prime minister has been out today, pushing one key part of his strategy. encouraging people to have their booster vaccine. i'm sorry to say this, but the overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosted. just as the booster campaign has had to be ramped up to deal with rising case numbers, so too has testing. lateral flow tests have never been a more important part of plans to keep covid under co

a fourth wave of covid-19 is now sweeping across the continent. lockdowns reinstated in some countries. across europe, protests against mandates and protests have drawn tens of thousands of people. in november, researchers discovered the omicron variant that's spread around the globe. number one, the last u.s. military planes left afghanistan, marking the end of its longest war. >> they took the city of 6 million people in a matter of hours, barely firing a shot. this is a sight i thought i would never see. scores of taliban fighters. just behind us, a u.s. embassy compound. thousands scrambling to leave before the u.s. military exit. >> they all worked at american camps at translators for the americans. and they can't get into that airport. >> reporter: the terrorist attack at the kabul airport killed 13 u.s. service members and more than 170 afghans during the evacuation. and there's no question, everybody here is doing their best. but it's not clear if it's fast enough. the collapse of afghanistan's u.s.-backed government was, perhaps, the most

so covid fatigue is the biggest cause of that. once we get over that, he will be much better off. >> yeah. he just hasn't made many wins. we mention the build back better plan. it appears that joe manchin has said he will continue talking now. he seems to have come around to a certain extent. where do you see this going? will they have to pass this? small pieces for small wins? or can this bill be done in one piece? >> i think there are two routes to success. and i think some of the talking heads have been a little mellow dramatic, the sky is falling. the sky is not falling. there are two good routes for biden the next few weeks. one is to take the manchin proposal he gave to joe biden a few weeks ago, which is kind of build back better light. maybe that's what they'll have to settle for, a half loaf rather than a whole life. the other way to do it, is to break up the bill in smaller pieces and get five things passed and three things not. either route is possible. i think the smart money should go with taking joe manchin's build b

and with covid, good luck getting tested. i don't know why anyone would want us to go back to it obama because they gave us socialized healthcare. republicans are in great position in 2022 and 2024 because of this year. >> pete: matt in it 2022. you are familiar with the mid-terms elections of 2010. how does this compare to previous red waves? >> if you look at the wave where republicans picked up the house and the senate after bill clinton's and obama's presidency. both turned on nationalized healthcare. it was obamacare which passed. biden's weak pole numbers are based on his failure to get the virus under control. the big difference is the culture shift. clinton and obama tried to pretend they were middle of the road democrats. the new socialist democratic party is woke. it is hard-core socialists. that is their biggest problem. the american people are seeing the practical implications of socialism. the lockdowns and washington knowing best. inflation and bad economics and mean policies hurting their families. that's yet d

>> it seems like, um, you know, covid is still covid. um and so, the symptomology still includes the things that we are used to seeing, so cough, fever, losing sense of smell and taste. those things. but i will say, for people who are vaccinated, it seems like overall symptoms are milder and for whatever reason, i have heard that anecdotally from a lot of physicians. you know, we will have more information in a few weeks but it really seems like those mild symptoms tend to include sore throat, a kind of hoarse voice and then people have a milder and faster course. um, this is kind of what we are starting to expect from people with omicron if you are vaccinated, um, and triply vaccinated. it's mild and it's really upper upper respiratory. >> okay. so let's say you have tested positive. what now? obviously, you know, if the symptoms are serious, you go to the doctor, go to the hospital. but let's say you have mild symptoms. are there things you can do, first of all, to make yourself feel better? i mean, what works. >> yeah. i think, i like
