according to the author variant which was first seen in the uk, put it in numbers for s. >> the original variants, the ones from wuhan, china, if you are in the household was some who had that infection, your chance of getting infected was 20%. the alpha variant kicked it up to about 40%. these are very round numbers, and the delta variant kicks up probably to around 60% to 70%. so it -- that just gives you an idea of the magnitude. it is much more easily transmitted because as the virus is just better adapted to finding a cellular receptor in the human respiratory tract and attaching to it. think of it as stickier. >> okay. we will see if we get and even stickier, digger, batter variant in the future. if there were a button that would help you use less energy, breathe cleaner air, and even take on climate change... would you press it? >>> okay. we are coming back on air in 5 seconds. >>> were back with dr. george rutherford. i want to ask nt to about masks, because in the bay area, most of the public health officers are asking people, even the vaccinated, to mask up again indoors. where

higher and higher vaccination rates, they will become most completely uncoupled like they did in the uk, so i think it would've been better to have that with the 70% vaccination rate or full vaccination rate or 80%, but they did not do it that way, and in a way, they tracked, so that is one issue. we can look at vermont. they are tracking. higher vaccination rates, lower case rates, so i think what they did today is still going to track, but i would put vaccination rate in there. >> with the way the delta variant is going and the cases, and you are referred to the fact that mask mandates may be coming back to the bay area, and that is what dr. walker believes i've got to ask you. a lot of people are frustrated. i'm not saying what my position is or that i feel that way, but there are people saying, "this is basically vaccinated people paying the price for people who are unvaccinated and won't vaccinate and won't put on their mask." are vaccinated people losing their patience, and is this cdc move today sending the right message about that? >> well, i will say i really understand why peo

. >> why is this variant knocking off the one that came out of the uk and why is it more worrisome. is a because of the more transmissible actor? >> there competing not only with one another, but with the defenses out there. there try to find a way to be more contagious and spread from community to community in a faster fashion. if it is more adept at getting people sick than the other variants, it will become the dominant strain. >> we need to keep upping the vaccination rate. i would like to ask what we need to get to nationally to make you feel good about it. i see the number 85%. does that refer to vaccinations only? or does include people who have immunity to the antibodies because they have it already and if you count the, are we almost there? >> i feel like i'm smiling because that is an insightful question. >> you are proud. >> i am proud! when we say herd immunity, we mean any type of immunity it is safer. when people got and get covid-19 , and possibly get sick and recover from it, we have hospitalizations and deaths.'s of the 80% number that we want for heard immunity, ma

for example, amounted to 0.07 percent of his estimated wealth markets. uk, a bug $25000000.00 donation. again, just 0.05 percent of these networks. the point of all these numbers isn't that billionaire should be giving more. that's another discussion entirely. mid point here is that philanthropy, capitalism is too often used as a distraction from meaningful, possibly more expensive systemic changes ramp and corporate tax avoidance. the suppression of minimum wage levels relied from states subsidies, precarious working conditions. i mean, the list of what actually needs to be addressed is long. and it can often get obscured by flashy headlines or new segments about billionaires and the generosity q to stepped up and you're providing $25000000.00. we didn't have the money to do that, and i just want to thank you to. this is not an app this right, this is the product of a political strategy that's been going on for the last 4050 years, whereby you taxes are slashed and private was accumulated. and what that private well does is it concentrates power and that threatens democracy. so we hav

provinces will be subject to new restrictions. us defense secretary lloyd austin says he believes the uk on government's plans to consolidate security for the major cities could help qual the taliban search. and i think the 1st thing to do is to make sure that they can slow the momentum and then, and then be able to put themselves in a position where they can re take some of the games that the taliban, that some of the ground that they've lost so i think, i think from my engagement with the afghan leadership, they are committed to that and. and so we look forward to, to them making progress, they have, they have the capabilities, i have a capacity to to make progress and to and to really began to blunt some of the taliban advances are diplomatic, added to james bathing cobble where he says the taliban has been gaining momentum. it seems more bad news for the african government. no wry district in tune or province in the east of africa. the stone appears to have fallen to the taliban. no official confirmation from the government side or the taliban. but out there is spoken to local source

commemorating the 73rd birthday of the uk's national health service at an event honoring the organization for the efforts of its workers during the pandemic. it almost took the prime minister's life. nearly a year and a half since covid arrived here, the lockdowns and restrictions that worsens put in place has become part of the of the like. the time to discard those protections is close by because of the successful vaccination program. >> we must be honest with ourselves that we can't reopen our society in the next few weeks, when we will be helped by the arrival of summer and school holidays, then we must ask ourselves, when you would be able? reporter: the government has had wearing masks would be a question of personal responsibility, human cost is left some reticent. >> i probably keep it on, it's more about protecting others. >> it's good they put it in the power to people, but i think they should be on. reporter: as the country braces itself to rebuff the masks, and social distancing, questions remain over what is best for the sake of public health. the prime minister himself has b

everybody who is italian or from the uk will be watching. you're very welcome if you're not italian or uk to watch it. we have big screens up everywhere. we have a foundation that does great things oceans and rain forests and the climate change. a whole barrage of things. that's what i'll mainly be devoting my time to. whether i'll do another add venn chir, i'm not sure if it will be fair to put my family through another one. i think i've got the record for being pulled out of the sea five times by helicopters. maybe i'll give it a rest for the time being. >> there's two people in the back. >> cnn. you talked about the over view effect of wand wanting to spread that. would you say your experienced that today? if we can go down the line from the passengers today if you brought any momentos with you, i'd love to hear about it. >> i brought some. i think you should always bring momentos. they had the police, the army, everybody out and surrounded the ufo in it. then we had a little e.t. figure that walked out of the ufo. pictures of my mom and

to uk and back, they pride themselves in those details. when i was based in london many years ago, you would go through their lounge in london and they had a putting green. just things like that that are unusual and speak to attention to detail. that's what they want to do inside the spaceport. it's a first-class experience. they got the barista there making whatever coffee you want. they have a buffet with whole foods type of selections. really from top to bottom they try to make this an exquisite experience. >> i did fly virgin atlantic round trip to london and it was a lovely experience. kudos for him. nicholas, i understand you can't stay with us too much longer. i want to ask you -- he did have to leave unfortunately. just found out. that's okay. got a bunch of experts still with us. joan, let me ask you from your perspective as an astronaut, what do you make of them choosing to launch from a plane instead of a typical ground launch? i would love to know your experience and get a sense of what it is like to be in space and when they t

head to the uk, that compares to 88% there in the uk and folks were perhaps more recently vaccinated. they didn't have the january benchmark there. how do you interpret this? why such a huge discrepancy? >> well, alex, there's been -- with the studies coming out of israel, there's been -- i don't think that the data has been fully vetted and really dissected the way we would like to be able to say was there something about the population that was different, or is there some explanation for this other than to say the vaccines are not, and never were, 100% protective against symptoatic infection. the efficacy was against really very symptomatic disease and hospitalization and death. so people do need to remember that when we're quoting these numbers that if you are vaccinated you may still become mildly symptomatic from covid-19, but you will not end up in the hospital. and the truth is we don't know the true number here, the prevalence of these breakthrough infections with mild or asymptomatic disease because the cdc is not tracking that here. i can't necessarily give you a precise ans
