"A cooler, but nice weekend. And now Michael Barr is here with more on what's going on in New York and around the world. Good morning, Michael. Good morning, Nathan. Thousands of New York City nurse who are poised to strike on Monday. They are protesting staffing levels they say create unsafe conditions for patients. 5 institutions, including Mount Sinai health systems, are still in talks toward a resolution with about 10,000 members of the New York State nurses association. Today marks two years since the January 6th attack on the U.S. capitol, among the victims as capitol police officer Brian sicknick, his longtime partner, is suing former president Trump and two people in the crowd that day for his death. Today, an award will also be presented to sicknick's family. Another officer who was at the capitol that day was Harry Dunn, who says he suffers from PTSD, Dunn says all eyes are on the Justice Department. They're the ones who can bring forth accountability. They were criminal things that the former president has done, I don't see how you can not hold him accountable for that day. Officer Dunn's full interview will air Sunday on ABC's this week heard on Bloomberg. Attorney general Mary Garland says, over 480 people pleaded guilty to federal charges in the riot. New evidence in the killings of four university of Idaho students has come to light. A newly released affidavit reveals police identified the suspect 28 year old Brian coburger by tracking his car on surveillance cameras. Co burger made his first court appearance in Idaho yesterday to face four charges of first degree murder. He did not enter a plea and was ordered held without bail. Russian president Vladimir Putin's proposed 36 hour ceasefire has drawn a cold shoulder from the U.S. and Ukraine, Bloomberg's head Baxter has the story. President Joe Biden says hypocrisy. I'm reluctant to respond to anything Putin says. I found an interesting, he was ready to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches and he says Putin is just trying to find some oxygen by also says the U.S. Germany and France are sending some heavy artillery to Ukraine that will arrive within months in addition to the patriot missiles. In San Francisco, I met Baxter Bloomberg daybreak. Meanwhile, Ukraine reports fresh Russian strikes on eastern cities after the announced ceasefire.

"During the pandemic is the more than million Americans who died from the virus, 6 and a half million people worldwide. But maybe the next biggest thing we all lost is just time. Years, right? And depending on how old you are, those years mean different things. For millennials, big milestones have been missed. Marketplace is Kristen Schwab, has that one. Olga rudier has never really pictured herself having kids. But during the pandemic, stuck inside her studio apartment in New York City, she had a lot of time to think. And she started to get a little anxious. It almost feels like two years of your life has disappeared. Nothing really happened. It's just a bit of a gap. And being a woman and constantly being reminded of that biological clock ticking. Yeah, having lost that time, I think it really did just hit me. Rudi verse 35, and she was dating a man at the beginning of COVID, but she says it was more or less one of those pandemic relationships. Two people agreeing to create a bubble because they live close together and enjoy each other's company. They're not dating anymore. We were just in such a lockdown for such a while. And when finally things started opening up, I felt like this is the time to really take it seriously. For Rutherford, take it seriously, meant freezing her eggs. She's on her second round of retrieval, and though she still doesn't know if she wants kids. She thinks she'll feel a big sense of relief once she's banked enough eggs. Some of her friends have taken the same step. And so are more women in general. Doctor Alan copperman, director of reproductive medicine at mount Sinai health system in New York, says he's seeing more than twice the number of women freezing their eggs now than before the pandemic. We all lost a couple of years to the pandemic. And I think that those two years actually are driving a lot of people to try to make up for lost time. And take advantage of the increasing technology that will allow them to maybe get that time back on the back end when they're ready to build their family. For most people, building a family starts with dating. And more than 60% of single and looking adults say dating has gotten harder during the pandemic. That's according to a pew study that came out earlier this year, as if we needed a study to confirm that. Brandon Wagner, a Professor of sociology at Texas tech, says remember, for a while, meeting new people was actually kind of scary. So in person dating took a dive. Just kind of reducing that mixing and mingling, if you will, has some implications for down the red partnership formations. Marriage rates have gone down, and the rates from 2021 don't make up for all the weddings that were canceled. Because besides the interruption and dating, Wagner says, when the world feels uncertain, emotionally and financially, people delay taking big life steps. It's fair to make those connections between economic precarity and just like the uncertainty of job loss. We know that that's associated with consequences for things like marriage and partnership. The last period of uncertainty was the Great Recession. Fertility rates plummeted and never rebounded. And that's had economic consequences. It's one of the reasons our labor force is shrinking and aging. But for individuals, there are emotional costs, especially when the cause, a once in a lifetime pandemic, is totally out of your control. Marty Hazleton is a Professor of social psychology at UCLA. There's something very psychologically potent about the number of years that you have been alive. And whether you have done certain things by various milestones. So if you are already feeling like you hadn't achieved what you wanted to and you're looking at your peers and they had, then I think that might be very anxiety producing. Hazleton says people of a certain age, especially women, feel pressure to hurry, hurry, hurry through their careers, partnership, and family formation, so they can fit it all in. And

"Custom publishing office and brought to you by the icon school of medicine. My name is Sean Sanders and I'm director and senior editor for custom publishing at science. I'm very pleased today to welcome doctor Rahman Parsons, director of the Tisch cancer institute at the icon school of medicine at Mount Sinai and ward Coleman chair in cancer research. He is also director of Mount Sinai cancer, Mount Sinai health system and chair of the department of oncological sciences at the icon school of medicine. He is also an internationally recognized expert in the fields of cancer genetics and signal transduction with a focus on the P ten tumor suppressor gene. Ramon, thank you so much for taking the time to join us today. Thank you for having me, Sean. So I'd like to start off by learning a little bit more about the Tisch cancer institute. Taking a big picture view, how do you think about cancer and its treatment? Well, I think of cancer is a complicated problem, and I really sort of put into three major buckets. The first bucket is understanding the cancer cell itself. How is the cancer cell being reprogrammed? How is the epigenetic and genetic state change to help it drive itself into its transition to being a cancer and behaving like a cancer cell? The second bucket is understanding how the body is interacting with the cancer cell. That could be anywhere from how our immune system is reacting to the tumor cell or being reprogrammed by the tumor cell or how our blood glucose and metabolism is in a state that could be helpful to the tumor cell to grow or inhibiting it to grow. And the third bucket is how do we take care of patients with cancer? How do we implement the great discoveries in the new drugs to better treat patients and a fair and equitable way and also in the best way possible for good outcomes for those patients and also as part of that, how do we prevent cancer from the beginning? Can we prevent it? Can we detect it early? All those different approaches can obviously improve our lives and healthy lives and what we're looking for. Now I'm interested to know about the mission of the Tisch cancer institute. Why was it founded and what type of research in particular is being done there? The mission of the Tisch cancer institute is really to do research on cancer to either figure out how do we treat it better? Or figure out how we can prevent it or detect it earlier. And a lot of that mission is built in trying to understand the disease more fully, one of the things that I think a lot of people don't appreciate is how much is unknown about cancer, we don't know as much as we need to know, and then the other area I think that's important to bring up is the importance of technology and technological developments in our ability to perform this mission. Is it something special about the Tisch cancer institute in the way that it operates compared to other research Institutes? We're a cancer center located in a freestanding school of medicine. We have a common mission which is the health of patients at the same time we have the ability to focus on the cancer problem within the context of that general mission. We're able to do things that other places can't do because of that because of this focus on health. We don't have competing interest in other disciplines. And also we are very, we're very much able to take advantage of the other kinds of disciplines and health that we can work with at Mount Sinai. So when you think about a particular type of cancer, do you see it as a singular disease that impacts people in a similar way or as a unique disease in each person and how does this impact the way you might approach the development of treatments? Sean, that's a really tough question to answer. Because it's really both. I think one of the things I can tell you is uniquely understanding a patient's disease is really important. If you don't have all the different knowledge bases that you need to develop great treatment for a patient's cancer, you're going to be missing something really important and really useful for that patient. And so the unique patient angle is a really important one and something that is particularly important in patients that face advanced disease. The other way of looking at it which is it's one disease and you aggregate data from many patients to try to understand it. Is also equally essential because in order to predict how a patient's going to do on a given therapy, we have to have some precedents, some examples of how patients responded prior to their treatment. And the reason for that is we can get better outcomes and better survival with certain kinds of treatment, of course, versus others. So I would say that how these two different ways of looking at it come together is treatment evolves by bringing in this new information that is discovered from the individuals and we identify often a recurring theme that may be 20% of lung cancer patients, for example, have, and now allow us to design a therapy for that 20% because we see from studying the individuals how they share things in common. Is there any research in particular that's being done at the Tisch cancer institute that is addressing this need for new treatments? Yeah, absolutely. We have multiple different scientists that are attacking this problem from different perspectives. We have scientists that are using structural biology approaches to develop a new agents to target well-known pathways that we know are important in cancer growth. We also have other scientists that are trying to use chemistry to develop new tools that are unprecedented in the sense that they're not simply targeting a kinase, which is a common target traditionally and cancer therapy, but trying to target other other proteins that are in the tumor cell that are helping the tumor cell grow. We also have an effort to understand how the tumor cell co ops the immune system and actually corrupts its original intent and we're using that information to try to see how standard immunotherapies are either failing or succeeding and by dissecting those responses and patients and also in model systems. We think we'll have a much better idea how to have new strategies to attack the tumor. Another area that we're working on that's also related to the immune system is to develop vaccines for cancer that are based on the mutated proteins that are unique to the tumor cell. These mutated proteins are a signal that the immune system normally is able to detect. One of the big problems is tumors evolve. Based on the therapies that are used to treat them, and tumors can really even avoid immune response if they are selected for immunotherapy. So we really ultimately need to be able to have a multi pronged approach

"At CES, companies make the case that telehealth can actually work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patient spheres of getting infected in healthcare settings pushed many to use telehealth from the comfort of their own homes, that has come with some upsides as telehealth has become more common, many providers and patients alike have appreciated the ease and convenience of doctor's appointments from home. And it's helped patients who have struggled to get access to healthcare, either because they live far from their provider, or due to a health condition that makes mobility difficult. But remote appointments have made certain kinds of care and monitoring more difficult, without touching a patient, for example, checking vital signs is more challenging. Companies who exhibited their inventions at the 2022 tech convention CES are trying to fill that void. Their innovations are providing novel ways for patients to connect with healthcare providers, while also gathering new sources of information about patient health. These data have the potential to give healthcare providers a more complete picture of their patient and offer more personalized and potentially better care. Here are a few of the notable innovations at CES 2022, aiming to make telehealth more useful. Abbott's neurosphere virtual clinic Abbott's neurosphere virtual clinic app gives patients a platform where they can conduct video chats where their doctors and access treatments remotely. While a patient sits in their living room, their clinician can connect to their implanted medical device via Wi-Fi, and remotely conduct treatments for chronic pain and movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, including spinal column stimulation, dorsal root ganglion therapy, and deep brain stimulation therapy. The patient can also take their therapy into their own hands and access prescribed stimulation settings on their smartphone. The virtual clinic received U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in March. During Abbott's demonstration of the tool at CES, doctor Fiona Gupta, director of the movement disorders outreach program at Mount Sinai health system and an assistant Professor of neurology said one of the advantages of the tool is that she can see how her patients are moving around the spaces where they'll be the most, their own home. They can show me how they are playing the piano, how they interact with their pets, and how they navigate their kitchens. This gives me the opportunity to personalize their deep brain stimulation and help them continue to do the things they love to do. Early senses insight at home. Many new tools connecting patients with their healthcare providers require patients to interact with a device, but early since insight at home only asks them to sleep in their own bed. The sensor, which is placed under a person's mattress, collects data overnight about breathing patterns, heart rate, and body movements, and flags issues like heart rate instability or respiratory rate depression. The sensor then uses algorithms and AI modeling to detect shifts in a patient's health, and uploads data into the early sense cloud, which can be integrated into patient care systems or dashboards. It's expected to be broadly available during the second half of 2022. Jasper health digital oncology platform. Undergoing cancer treatment may never be easy, but the Jasper digital oncology platform aims to make it more organized. It enables patients to track their care regiment by recording appointments medications and symptoms and connects them to support, including experts who can answer patients questions. Jasper can also connect patients to clinical care and case management by linking to biometric monitoring devices. Bio and teles senses bio sticker and bio button. Some wearable devices are now not only able to record patients vital signs, but also to transmit them straight to their doctors. Two of the new tools are the bio sticker and bio button produced by the company bio Intelli sense. The disposable, wearable devices, can record information like skin temperature, respiratory rate and body position, the devices have been utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, when university of Colorado health first distributed Pfizer BioNTech's vaccine to healthcare workers, it used the bio button to track patients vital signs to detect adverse reactions. The bio sticker is FDA approved. Tell your plastic containers to take the night off.

"Your future So it's the truth Dot com And we're talking an awful lot last week about the fact that we're likely to live to age 100 and beyond And the real question we asked was is your money going to last as long as you do And what impact is there on your career on education housing your will your investment strategy But there's one huge subject related to longevity that we didn't talk about And I want to share it with you here today And that is the issue of Alzheimer's disease You know it's pretty well accepted in the scientific and medical communities that we're going to solve the leading causes of death over the next ten to 20 years I'm talking about obesity diabetes heart disease lung disease cancer itself the advances that have been made that are under development now that are widely expected to be coming over the next couple of decades we're going to wipe out the leading causes of death just as we've wiped out old leading causes of death Did you ever hear of diphtheria That used to be a leading cause of death it isn't anymore Have you ever heard of pioneer That was the leading cause of death in the 1800s Wiped out thanks to innovations advances in medical science And by that notion they're expecting that today's leading causes of death are going to be defeated eradicated as a result of advances in technology But we aren't making progress with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia We know the challenge here We know that by the age of 60 your odds are one in ten to get Alzheimer's That by age 80 the odds are one in three by age 90 the odds are one and two We've got to figure out how to defeat this disease Well here's some news An international team led by the University of Cambridge has figured out how Alzheimer's disease develops And it's not however but he thought Their research was reported in the journal science advances You see for decades scientists thought that Alzheimer's started from a single point in the brain and then spread This new research shows that Alzheimer's instead hits different regions of the brain at the same time And then kills cells in those regions The researchers used brain samples from patients who've died of Alzheimer's and they took pet scans from living patients This is the first time that anyone had human data to track the disease over time And they were able to do it thanks to new technology A new chemical kinetics approach that was developed at Cambridge along with advances in pet scanning All of this could help lead to new treatments Well that's one thing we clearly do need new treatments because we haven't had a new treatment introduced in over 20 years With one exception and that was Biogen's drug that was announced last year It was rather controversial $56,000 It wasn't a pill You had to go into a medical facility and get the drug injected Biogen has now cut the price of that Alzheimer's drug in half It's now $28,000 Medicare hasn't yet said whether it's going to cover the drug In fact Biogen stock is down 46% since they launched the drug last June The Cleveland clinic Mount Sinai health system mass general and the veterans administration They've all said no they're not paying for it So since Biogen released its drug they've sold $1.9 million of it so far The drug costs $56,000 or did until last week And they've only sold 1.9 million There are one and a half million people in the United States eligible for this drug Forget about the rest of the world Why are so few people buying the drug Well for one thing it's $56,000 But it's also highly controversial not just because of its price But because medical experts and health advocates say that the drug doesn't work they've all signed a petition calling on the FDA to rescind its approval Doctor Peter whitehouse a neurologist and an Alzheimer's expert at case western reserve university said quote we're not just saying the approval was probably the worst decision the FDA ever made It's so bad that we should advocate for withdrawal Why is the medical community so up in arms over the Biogen's new drug Well in clinical trials 41% of the patients experienced brain swelling or brain bleeding Well that doesn't bode really well So noble effort good try Biogen but it isn't something that gets rapid adoption in the medical community And that leaves all of us still waiting and wanting for a treatment that's going to truly work significantly and for a long term Well all is not lost Hope remains Research is still continuing in a great many quarters and I want to tell you about a new study It shows that virtual reality can boost brain activity and could help treat Alzheimer's So far it's worked in rats No no no Don't get carried away They didn't put tiny VR headsets onto the rats That'd be silly What they did though is they put the rats on a small treadmill and they surrounded the treadmill with small TV screens I'm not making this stuff up The lead researcher at UCLA said quote we were blown away when we saw the huge effect Scientists think that they might be able to manipulate human brain rhythms using virtual.

"It's the start of the pandemic in 2020 and David petrino is scrambling. He's the director of rehabilitation innovation at the Mount Sinai health system in New York. The city that's about to become the global COVID-19 hotspot. It was grim. We had a countdown for the number of days before we ran out of beds. You know, and that was something that we were just managing with my team while we were testing out clever ways of turning BiPAP machines into ventilators, building out our own ventilators, building a remote patient monitoring app to track acutely ill patients chasing down PPE David does what he can, but it's mostly distributing face masks and medications. The reality is, doctors don't know much about COVID or how to fight it. The most they can do is try to prepare. I was meeting people on the street who had boxes of ten, you know, N95s and I was immediately rushing that off to whichever friend at whichever hospital needed most. There was just all sorts of crazy stuff going on in the early phase of the pandemic. The pandemic just gets worse and worse, numbers continue to rise and every part of the healthcare system becomes strained. People are getting COVID symptoms going to the hospital. They are being told look we don't have beds and you're not sick enough. Go home and come back if you're worse, which is a really terrifying thing to say to someone who is sick with an unknown illness with an unknown disease course. You know, how much sicker do at what point do I come back? So David and he's colleagues start thinking about a way that can monitor COVID patients safely from their homes. And they settle on the idea of creating an app. My team has a lot of expertise in remote patient monitoring. So we developed an app in something like 24 to 36 hours launched it. We said, here's a hotline. If you're having symptoms call this number, the apron uses to answer a simple question like whether they have a fever or a cough. David says pretty soon hundreds and then thousands of patients are being monitored this way. Then around mid April, a strange pattern emerges. We started seeing this cluster of people who were expressing different symptoms. Patients report diligently on the app, at first they were predominantly complaining of headaches favors and shortness of breath, but suddenly their symptoms morphed. Now they were talking about dizziness and fatigue and I can't seem to exercise the way I used to and, you know, there's something about this that can't shake and my heart feels like it's beating out of its chest and, you know, my arms are tingling my feet are going blue. You know, all of these very odd symptoms, what was immediately striking to me was just how similar all of these how random these accounts were, but really similar. David says, what's also bizarre is that almost all of these patients were never hospitalized. A common narrative, in fact, is, yeah, I was fine, you know, I was more or less asymptomatic. You know, and I didn't think there was anything to worry about. And then two weeks after my symptoms went away, I got hit with this. What David is describing heralds the start of his journey into trying to understand long COVID. He would go on to search for ways to help the millions of people across the world dealing with symptoms, months after their coronavirus infection. Many patients are caught in a sort of medical purgatory where their problems aren't understood much less treated and the advice they get is, well, not always reliable. If anyone tells you that they know what's going on, they're lying to you. Like don't trust that person. That's the one person you can't trust is the person who tells you categorically they know what's going on. And I've suddenly seen a lot of clinicians doing that. As scientists rush to figure out the causes of long COVID, some health providers aren't waiting for answers. They're already finding ways to help patients now.

"Largest study of lingering. Cova nineteen affects suggests a looming problem by alice park in the largest long-term study of cove in nineteen patients yet to be published researchers in china report in the lancet worrying results of the diseases. Lingering impact on people's health. The scientists by dr ben tau from the china japan friendship hospital in beijing studied one thousand two hundred. Seventy six people discharged between january to may twenty twenty from gin yen thanh hospital in wuhan after being hospitalized for covert nineteen. The patients all agreed to health visits at six and twelve months after their symptoms first appeared at each of those points the researchers compared the health status of the study participants but that of comparable people from the wuhan area who did not experience cove nineteen infection among those hospitalized for cove in nineteen sixty eight percent reported at least one continued. Kovic nineteen related symptom. Six months after their first symptoms appeared while this percentage decreased by the twelve month mark it remained relatively high at forty nine percent and overall patients who had been hospitalized for covert nineteen self reported being in poorer health and having lower quality of life including mobility issues. Compared to controls the most common symptom patients reported twelve months later was fatigue or muscle weakness other issues included sleep. Disturbances changes in taste and smell dizziness headache and shortness of breath. Certain symptoms were actually worse at the twelve month mark. Then they were earlier on in the study. The proportion of patients reporting breathing problems increased slightly from twenty six to thirty percent from six months to a year following their first symptoms. The patients also filled out questionnaires about their mental health and while twenty three percent reported feeling anxious or depressed six months after their first symptoms appeared. Thirty percent did so at a year. The findings highlight the complicated nature of cova. Nineteen's effects on people's health and the range of longer term consequences emerging in what some experts are referring to as long cove. It this recent study is the largest to date of such extended effects among hospitalized patients while it suggests that about half of patients with serious cova nineteen recover from their symptoms. The other half and especially those who were sicker during their hospitalization may continue to battle the mental and physical effects of the virus for over a year. I would not say this is a glass. Half full story says david neutrino director of rehabilitation innovation at mount sinai health systems who have received the networks long cove rehabilitation program after most hospital stays including for say walking pneumonia. I would not be expecting people at twelve months to still be reporting symptoms to me. The increase in the proportion of patients experiencing anxiety or depression is especially worrying say the authors and they speculate that in addition to the isolation on employment and loss of physical health that could be fueling these conditions. The virus itself may be driving abnormal immune responses that could affect the delicate work of brain chemicals contributing to people's mental states taking together. The implications are that people with persistent cova. Nineteen symptoms are looking at a long recovery says patry now at mount sinai's long covert program that involves a personalized approach to addressing patients diverse symptoms which could range from kidney heart and lung problems to generalized fatigue and muscle weakness for the latter rehabilitation might include a tedious process of gradually stimulating. The autonomic nervous system with carefully supervised exercises too slowly stimulate normal nerve activation which could take as long as three to four months before patients feel better. This virus doesn't end once you get discharged from the hospital or once you get over. The initial acute symptoms says neutrino. This virus persists he notes that while the recent lancet study only focused on hospitalized cova nineteen patients other albeit smaller. Studies have shown that cova nineteen symptoms may linger and around twenty percent of those who get infected. But don't get sick enough to go to the hospital that means the issue of persistent cova nineteen symptoms looms over any post covert nineteen public health. Plan currently there isn't much clarity about whether or how much insurers will cover rehabilitation for these patients and that's if patients know of and can access these services to begin with. It's the tip of the iceberg of enormous potential equity and disparities and health says neutrino most persistent symptoms are invisible symptoms in walking into a doctor's office and saying you have extreme fatigue a symptom many cova. Nineteen sufferers have.

"New york was dead was certainly not true. Jeff perhaps counter-intuitively. There has been an argument that perhaps big companies will end up renting and leasing even more space to account for sort of a new work environment. I'm curious if you're seeing that and also what kind of reconfiguration. You're starting to see if there are any around moving from either open floor plans to other kinds of environments where people either gonna feel safer or because the work space itself is going to change because people are going to use it to come together. But maybe they're going to therefore work from home a couple of days a week. How you think that that that's starting to shake out. Why i certainly do think people are going to be taking more space. We've already seen it here. Almost every one of our companies and on-scene yards is expanding today so that that is definitely true. We haven't quite seen the modifications yet. Just because i think time hasn't passed. I think you will see more gathering spaces. I do think they'll be flexibility in the workplace people might work you know partial week partial at home and the office spaces will will be a place for people to get together and gather and as new spaces get built out. I think you will see some of those changes in the physical in the physical office space. But i don't think it will decrease the total amount of square footage is that companies have because if someone works home on friday they still need office base for the rest of the week so i don't really expect a huge huge decrease in the total square footage. What are you having to do during this period. And i wonder whether you're still having to do it. I know a lot of landlords are optimally subsidizing some of the services in the inside these busy inside these buildings restaurants and the like and others to try to keep them in business during this period. And when you think some of that subsidies or other things might shift certainly the restaurants were the hardest hit as we as we made our way through this pandemic but as you know if it's not that easy to get a reservation in new york these days so Restaurants are back in crowded and so most of those subsidies or free rents have passed the biggest problem. The restaurants right now is getting worse. They they really haven't been able to re staff and so as a result you know whether it's one chores or certain days these restaurants can't stay open so we're hoping that some of the some of the subsidies burn off For the for workers to stay home they'll actually be able to rehire in retrain workers. Because that's really what we need. We need the restaurants back open. They are back in able to pay rent. The demand is is certainly there today. Jeff long-term do you imagine that buildings like yours are going to have either some kind of testing on site for clients or tenants. If you will or some kind of system and i know that everyone's using this excelsior pass now in new york to get into restaurants and things that transfer over to offices are they're going to be systems that you think landlords are going to have to put in place that are around cova or other or or other health matters that we we created a joint venture with mount sinai health systems where people have access to a testing center on site for all our office buildings. We've also recently made it. Mandatory for all related employees to be vaccinated and we strongly encourage our tenants. Do the same. Most of them have have on that And so that will become that will become effective as as of the end of this month and so the idea is that we're really creating a safe and secure healthy workplace for our tenants and our employees and we expect that be make a big difference coming back post post labor day. Hey jeff if you heard roberts report right before you bet he was talking about how residential real estate is almost back. The the real estate sales are almost back to the same level they were pre pandemic but he but he said when it comes to commercial real estate. They're still down nine percent from even where they were a year ago and that was of course down from pre attempt pandemic really significantly does that reflect. What what you see it related companies to i do i do think most of those stats were accurate. I give them good marks morning for his vacs. But i'll give you some interesting ones around. Residential so our our rental portfolio at the worst of the pandemic was down to eighty three percent occupancy from a typically almost essentially under percent and plus giving concessions so pretty pretty significant drop as people fled the city. Today were at ninety. Nine percent occupied no concessions and rents are are basically back to where they were pre pandemic and that all happened in the last six weeks or so in anticipation of people being back to work post labor day so a huge signal On the rental front on the four sale product the condo's We have had this. Year is the been the biggest sales philosophy since two thousand thirteen in new york city. It's it's a pretty remarkable rebound and it's it's really new yorkers its logo buyers of tourists year and a lot of international travel or so i think all indicating a move back to new york city post labor day very strong that the commercial office side is as on the office side. As you mentioned. That's lagged a little bit as people decide what to do. We are touring so our our our visits people that wanna space is back over pre pandemic levels and leases are just getting signed now so there is a slight drop in rental rates around where you're talking about but we expect that to disobey shirley and the jeff finally take us behind the scenes if you could imagine you're having conversations lots of tenants and others around the country thinking about when to bring people back to work A number of big tech companies including facebook and amazon have said you know what we're doing a january twenty two. We're not we're not even going to deal with the brain damage if you will of what may or may not happen this fall so we're just gonna to set a date that's a couple of months from now there's a lot of other firms mostly yorker. We're saying you know what. October is likely or at least maybe late. October early november. What are you hearing right now. In terms of how people are approaching it. The wall street firm seemed to be more aggressive about getting people into the office than others. What think is driving that just the different psyches of how managers are thinking about this right so all. The tenants were ready to go post labor day prior to doubt so all the ones you mentioned. I mean they've all concluded that the work from home doesn't really work. Ric culture is defined in the office. Culture is defined as people gather innovation. New ideas all happen when people are together and so everyone was encouraging people to be back in september. and then obviously delta's as common and going to. The concern has escalated once again. So you stop. People push october or january. Do think as soon as possible people are going to insist that people are back in. The office are vaccinated at the moment where where masked in the office. But i do think that you get into these buildings to go back to work. People are going to insist upon mandatory vaccination. I don't think it's going to be an option. But the reason. I ask because people are being masked in the office and i wonder whether you think at some point.

"Year to develop a Corona virus vaccine that was supposed to be the hard part. But it turns out the logistics of getting actual shots into people's arms have been a lot more challenging. The rollout of the vaccine has been a mess as we all know, and the Biden administration is inheriting a dysfunctional system. In which state governments, for example, gets so little advanced notice about the number of vaccine doses, they'll receive that they barely have any time to plan their vaccination campaigns. So this jeopardized the president's goal of 100 million vaccinations in his 1st 100 days. And why is the new criticism of the Biden plan? That 100 Million in 100 Days is an aggressive enough. With me now is Caroline Chan Healthcare Reporter for Propublica, who we have taken to calling their vaccine correspondent. Hi, Caroline. Always great to have you with us. Hi. Um, pleasure to be on show again. 100 million vaccinations in 100 days. Is it possible based on what you're reporting might indicate. It is possible, at least according to what father and Moderna our contract to supply to the U. S government. It should definitely be more than possible. They're supposed to supply 100 million doses each by the end of March, so we should have the supply. To do that, technically on So I think it's Zagat Gold have From what I've read. The Trump Administration was already getting 8 to 900,000 doses a day out there. That's in Lena Wen's column in the Washington Post today. So is a million a day for 100 days, actually, not ambitious enough. It's not that much more than eight or 900,000 Day s O. Some critics are starting to ask. Is it ambitious enough? Well, I think there's a difference between what's allocated. You know what's what's distributed out there and to what's actually getting into arms. So I think What's really Tricky and what's been a sort of a stumbling point is that there have been No says that I've managed to get out into the public. Um, you know, two states but have Not on shelves. And so I think. Has every stage has been difficult. Of course that you said. You know, we've gone in vaccine. That's great. Then there has been the Distributing them to the states. And then now we have to get them into people's arms. So to me, honestly. It's Zagat to have this goal. It would be great if we could exceed it. Um, I would just like to see vaccines getting into arms and I'm I'm not too fussed about specific numbers. And the Biden administration announced yesterday that it's going to try to boost vaccine production through an executive order that he signed yesterday to use the Defense Production Act. That's one way Is it clear to you what he's actually ordering what companies to do? Because that's my understanding of the defense production acted, uses federal power to tell companies in the private sector. You have to do this. Because it's a national emergency. Yeah, There are parts of this that include things like making sure that there are needle syringes as the right amount. Go on. The government is providing these kids that get sent along with the vials. So the manufacturers air, providing the vials that had the actual vaccine. The government is also standing along to the states, Kids that have things like the syringes the alcohol swipe had had What else is in there? A little bit of PPE, Um, on Knows his approval. It turns out that you could get six doses. Out of each of them. So the actual syringe you want to make sure that is, I think long enough to be able to get the full amount of available dose out of each vial. So making sure that you don't Have any shortfall of any of this ancillary supply as well is really important because you wouldn't want to have the balls but not have enough syringes. So you know, really, when you think about a vaccination campaign There are so many components to it, and even you know, for the vaccine itself. You need to have enough class follows for the ball. If you need to have enough paper for the label, there's so many components to it that you are not thinking about often. And then along with that, um There is a personal obviously, that doesn't have to do is the defense production asked, But something that I noticed in his plan is he has talked about bringing in FEMA toe also help operate more sites so that there's gonna be Many, many more locations that people can get their vaccinations from so so many different components to organizing it Campaign. Listeners. We can take some vaccine and vaccine rollout. Logistics questions for Caroline Chen Healthcare reporter for her Propublica, who's been covering vaccines. 646435 70 to 80. If you have a question or a story that you think might contribute to her reporting, you'll take tips from our business. Right, Caroline? Six courses. Many you guys have 646435 70 to 80, and there's some calls were coming in. Last week, The Mount Sinai health System here in New York canceled vaccination appointments. For people age 65 older those who were able to sign up what happened there and is it known how many appointments were canceled at Mount Sinai or citywide or even statewide. Yeah. I don't have an exact number for a Mount Sinai. But we know that there were, uh it's not a Mount Sinai problems. So the story that we published last Yeah. This week. I'm really losing track of time here. I've published something to vaccines stories this week. Um, was Really? It's called How Operation works because created vaccine chaos. You can try that on our site at Propublica to me. I wanted to show what was happening up the chain. Because when your hospital, you know, say it's not fun. I canceled your appointment. You're really mad at Mount Sinai, right? You're like, Why don't you tell me there was an appointment when there wasn't a It wasn't an appointment, but, you know, I noticed in that you know that Mount Sinai said out, they said, what way don't have control over the supply, and that's true. And what has been happening so far is actually that operation works feed. Had set up this system where they on Lee tell Eight week by week. Um, how much supply they're going to get. And this whole roll out has been run on a week by week system So every Tuesday, um, Operation works, he would get it. Would get the final information from the manufacturers of you know how much They have for the following week. Then they would allocate it out to the statement. The numbers would appear on their screens at about noon on Tuesday, and then there's some sub calculations that happen. Um, And so every state was then. Get maximum cap off. You know, you can only order up to this amount, and they have to then put in their specific orders..

This brain circuit is key to both depression and addiction
"Was caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. But Dr Vikram row of the university of California at San Francisco says that idea is outdated a more modern conception is thinking of depression as a circuit dysfunction. Meaning that there's something about the way cells in the brain are talking to each other. That is not quite right. So researchers have been trying to identify those faulty circuits and make them work better. One approach is called deep brain stimulation, which delivers pulses of electricity to a specific area in the brain Kristen sellers, a postdoctoral researcher who works with row says the trick is to stimulate an area that has a really good connection to the malfunctioning circuit the way that I. I like to think about it is we're trying to get onto a highway and there's a lot of different on ramps to find the right on ramp sellers row in the team of researchers studied twenty five people with severe epilepsy. These people were in the hospital awaiting surgery and had wires inserted into their brains to help doctors locate the source of their seizures, many of them also had symptoms associated with depression. The researchers used the implanted wires to stimulate different areas in the brain and sellers says they got an immediate response when they stimulated an area called the lateral orbital frontal cortex or o f c what we found was that consistently stimulation in the lateral OFC was improving nude in symptomatic patients, and as researchers increased the stimulation the effect on mood became more pronounced seller. Says one woman in the study described the change as it happened. She said something to the extent of wow, I feel a lot better. What did you guys? Do. The OFC is located behind the forehead and above the eyes and sellers colleague Vikram. Rows says it offers an ideal on ramp to the brain networks involved in depression. It does seem to be across roads for connecting many different brain regions that have been implicated in regulating our mood. Rouse's stimulating this area seems to make circuits worked better if they are faulty to begin with only the people who had symptoms to start. With improve their mood, which suggests that perhaps the effect of what we're doing is to normalize activity that starts off abnormal as opposed to non specifically elevating mood. The new study which appears in the journal current biology is just the latest to suggest that deep brain stimulation can help relieve depression, this is other piece in a very complicated puzzle. Dr Helen Maiburg helped pioneer the use of deep brain stimulation for depression more than a decade ago. Now, she directs the center for advanced circuit therapeutics at the Mount Sinai health system in New York, maybe says the new study offers strong evidence that stimulating the NFC can improve the mood of a person who is feeling depressed. But he doesn't show whether the effect is lasting. And she says it doesn't answer an important question. What happens if you did this and people who actually had failed every kind of treatment for major depressive episode in our chronically ill Maiburg says she's been able to help about eighty percent of these patients.
