"A science denier, despite the fact He thinks he is following the science because he isn't now. Doctor. Nathan slicker is with the he is the head of the State Medical Association. And he says it is vital that we do everything we can as we head into winter couple of things that I think really, for kind of challenging winter for us, Uh one. That I'm a model and other data really suggest that even when we're done with this peak, hopefully in the next month we don't settle back down to the base where we were, uh, previously We don't get back to you know, the roughly 3% of the hospital being full with Covid. If you look at I m H s data really argues that you know, will be holding on to 10 to 12% of our beds with Covid patients in it, Uh, potentially for the winter. That is, we don't have 10 to 12% extra capacity and the health system either in space or in people Now, on top of that, So Kobe is the first head when they're the second major headwind. Is the flu. We know that the flu comes around every year. We didn't have one last year because people didn't gather and we didn't mass or people masked if we this year don't mask and we gather We're gonna be back to a regular flu season. And for those who argue that nobody's really dying from this good at the death rate is in soaring and that people aren't dying. But the amount of people that are getting incredibly sick and maybe on oxygen for the rest of their life or have limitations on what they can do. To me themselves. Happy is enormous, And that's the thing is, people are dying. They're just going to live with a chronic, debilitating disease potentially now and the one he he really wants everyone to keep in mind. The reality is it's not just covid that's getting impacted anymore. It is impacting everyone who touches the health care system. Is impacting our ability to get blood to get people to provide their to be able to have space to care for you So don't just say I won't die from Covid. It's no biggie. You're going to die, potentially because you get in a car accident, 95, and there's nowhere to provide care of you. There's no space for you. There's no blood supply to take care of you when you got that critical internal bleeding because you're busted your spleen in your car accident, so Please don't think that it's only about Covid. It's about every other disease that is getting impacted. Now there is a little bit of good news. The I H M Me. Latest modeling that came out on Friday does suggest that Several states are entering this peak, and that includes Washington State. However, it's a very, very slow moving peak. It's more of a plateau and basically what I was saying at this point is that Regardless of what we do they expect for Covid 19 friends Mission and the burden of the health care system, too likely extend well past their forecast period, which is the end of the year and well into 2022 beyond now, on top of that, the school vaccinations that are going to be required. That's October 8th that all of the school staff have to have those already seeing reports of and she Hollis And Centralia. Only 30% of the school staff have so far proven turned in their proof of vaccination. So some low levels there. Okay. So for Sunday's Seahawks game. Uh, you'd have to wear a mask, then? Yes, but I believe the Seahawks had done that on their own if I'm not mistaken prior to but because I know they were requiring proof of vaccination, but under this mandate, even if you are fully vaccinated, uh and you're in a big crowd outdoors, You still are supposed to wear a mask. Yes, Absolutely. Absolutely. And I had just been that had been in effect. Actually, King County had already done that. NPR's county had already, uh, done that. And now that this is a statewide thing that the governor has expanded, it expanded it to and it's a good idea. I was at the Green Day concert, um, a week ago today. And there that was the last one in King County. You could go to and not be masked. And at least half if not much more of the people there were not masked up. Yeah. Now I was shopping in Snohomish County yesterday. A I didn't notice anybody messed up in the stores is you have to mask up on the stores to now. You are supposed to be masked up, and there's an indoor mask mandate. You bet everyone is that is a state level indoor mask and Kelly's can't opt out of that one. No, they're not. They cannot And I think believes several of the counties have done that on their own as well. I do have seen folks in Snohomish County who don't do that. It's uh there's a little less buy in and Snohomish County. I think that in, say, King County, but Mhm. For the most part, every place I've been I've seen people masking up inside. Cairo radios.

"Before midnight tonight. Daria Aldinger ABC News Homo news 1000 FM 97 7 Good afternoon Come on news time to 31 I'm Taylor Vance Ice. Now, our top stories from the chemo 24 7 News center. The state sees record numbers of new covid cases. And yet the death toll has remained relatively low. Cuomo's Nick Popham spoke about this with Dr Nathan Schleicher, who heads the Washington State Medical Association for the ongoing spread of the Delta variant is leading most unvaccinated people to get infected with Covid 19. Even infecting a small percentage of vaccinated folks. I've been putting 30 year olds on vents, and that's not what it used to be. Hospitalizations have reached record heights in Washington, overwhelming hospitals and their workers. We know that Covid and the Delta varying in particular appears to be much more virulent. His willingness to spread doesn't have some vaccine breakthrough and is making younger people sicker. But what it's not doing as of right now in our state. Is causing daily deaths to significantly Klein. If you look at the epidemiologic curve from the Department of Health Daily deaths are still averaging in the single digits, even his cases and hospitalizations skyrocket. Doctors say. That's partly because even though our vaccine rates have relatively stalled, many people who were more susceptible to getting severely ill have gotten the shot. Like older folks in our state, the older you are, the more likely you are to be vaccinated. And Dr Scott Lindquist, with the Department of Health says the data shows vaccinations prevent serious hospitalizations and deaths. Almost Nick Poppin reporting There's been noticeable pushback from unions and state workers over the governor's mandate to make them all get vaccinated or lose their jobs. Most Brian Calvert, with the latest last week, state ferry managers had to figure out how to cover what it called an unprecedented 91 request for relief workers. And now a mandate to vaccinate may cause this more often as ferry officials say they can't hire fast enough. The 45,000 member Washington Federation of State Employees is also complaining, and teachers aren't happy either about being made to vaccinate this teacher gets the frustration, however, think it's our job as the adults to protect our kids. I don't think that this is anything extraordinary. It's just extra political equipment college Professor Elizabeth Crowds tells Kxl Y Yes, medical freedom is important. Personal.

Whittman College Professor Elizabeth Krauss doesn't understand their arguments that their freedoms are being taken away. We all have the right to drink as much alcohol as we want.

"Where's baby paid for by nitsa. I wanna to tell you that former president. Donald trump was booed at a rally. Saturday in alabama after he told supporters they should get vaccinated. Where you gotta do you have to do. But i recommend take the vaccine's i did it. It's good take the vaccines but you got. That's okay got freedoms. But i happened to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work you'll be the first to know. I didn't hear any booze. I guess there were some there wasn't many and it was more noise as than booze i i would. I would guess too that those people and look. I'm not here to you know. I mean needless us you know. We're the judge judge people or or or donald trump. But i guess most of those people they're going to turn out to a big trump rally. Most of those people were booing the idea of getting a vaccination not doing donald trump personally. Oh yeah yeah. That's probably what they were doing there. And that was in alabama which by the way has the lowest vaccination rate in the us with only thirty six percent of the population having been fully inoculated. There's an oklahoma doctor who is citing a disturbing new study on the outlook of cova nineteen and elementary school students. Dr george monks is his name. He's from the oklahoma state medical association and he shared a couple of models that show as many as eighty percent of elementary age. Kids who haven't had co vdi or haven't gotten the vaccine 'cause they can't will catch the virus if schools don't regularly conduct kovic tests and require students and staff to wear face masks eighty percent. Just one study and one doctor. Who's talking about this but The oklahoma state medical association president dr. Mary clark is terrified by the statistics. She said we're really concerned about the elementary and middle school children who cannot be vaccinated. There's no protection for them at all except for a mask and making sure we try to socially distance as much as possible. So we're extremely concerned. I don't know what's taking the manufacturers so long to approve the vaccinations for those twelve. And under maybe it's they couldn't find enough participants. I don't know we haven't heard anything about it for a while about the tests. We do know that it continues and there's been some speculation that perhaps by early next they'll start vaccinating kids under a specific age. And also you know you you assume that young people are much healthier than those that are older and that their immune systems are good. But still if you're a parent you got to be very concerned about this. Yeah i mean. I don't have kids in in the local schools anymore. Well we're supposed to hear more today from pfizer and the fda about The booster shot idea conversation last week. That be like eight months. After you got your second back saination that you would be eligible for a booster. But i still don't know and maybe you've seen something i haven't. Are we talking about a different different formula or or is it the same thing. It's just another one another shot. Yeah either pfizer maderno depending on which when you got the tests so far apparently show that it It is very helpful for people especially the elderly. So we'll find out more about that sometime today. Coming up on k. l. i. f. You won't believe what they're doing now in australia. Down under new lockdown restrictions and scott sideway joining us with his thoughts on that though. Secret how i feel about the masks and whatnot and the rules. Now that we've got the vaccine but the reason why is. Because i think a lot of people can look over towards australia. And point to that as reasons why people are scared of the mask mandates again people are scared of too much government involved in the cova protections and the reason why is because this is what as of midnight today australia time so i guess it's like two o'clock in the afternoon over. Yeah there are so many new rules. Now they're like for example now in australia. You can only exercise one hour a day. I don't understand that like outside. All your arena jam outside oyo note. Jim house i was gonna say you can only leave your house for certain amounts of time when you exercise outside you can only do it with. I believe it's one other desert to other desecrate easy defined as a group of two right and it's exercise which let's be honest when you exercise immune system is improved so you can fight off the virus better. That's pretty weird on top of that. They've given police new special powers and what they're basically doing is allowing police to go to apartment complexes walks and essentially deem them as risks and shutdown specific apartments to make sure people don't live their homes. I mean we've already seen the stories or leave their leave. Okay leave so like if i guess a few people test positive and apartment the police can show up and say you guys aren't going anywhere so well it sounds like they're locked down anyway right. Sounds like no one's going anywhere anyway. I mean they've had police helicopters military personnel policing. This thing on megaphone saying get back into your house. Don't break these rules. And they're only getting stricter so the reason why point to australia's because while you may think people complaining about masks seems like whatever get over yourself just put on a mask. I think people are genuinely afraid of the slippery slope and they looked to situations like what's happening in australia and say i don't want it to come anywhere close to this at some point especially when we have access to vaccines and people have the ability to take him. So that's that's why. I wanted to bring up. The australia's stuff is because man. Can you believe that. Can you imagine extreme. The government saying you're not allowed to leave your apartment and they have like bubbles now single bubble double. Yeah you're if you don't live with family members. Apparently they allow you can apply on the government's website. Whoa to have access to like one other person so you don't get lonely and weird or whatever. I don't know how it works. Obviously because i don't know how the application process you have to register but you've got to register with the government if you're right yeah this sounds like something out of nineteen eighty-four right like it's crazy. So i i just think it's. It's one of those things where you're like this can't be real but it's but it's real that new zealand finally got its first case for ever really. Yeah i did not see so yeah. They've slammed the doors there to imagine if that happened here. No i mean i it would never happen because i think there'd be revolts on the street. I mean think about how much pushback there is. Just too masks. Let alone applying for companionship. Through the government's webs right. It's you have pictures. I can choose somebody right yeah right..
