joining us now is dr. patricia loftot. thanks for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> how common is loss of smell in covid patients during their illness? >> so actually it's a very common symptom. if you look at the literature, it's a little widespread in terms of the actual numbers. i would say, i would quote around 80 to 90% patients that contract covid experience a loss of taste or smell. >> many are actually having complete loss of smell. some will say it's more of a decrease. most of them notice very big change in their normal sense of smell. >> okay. what percentage do you think still reports symptoms or suffering from that after they recover from covid? >> yeah. so the data is showing that about 75 to 80% of patients who have smell loss of covid will fully recover that sense of smell in the first few weeks. they usually recover their sense of smell as they recover from covid. most patients. then moving on to about the six month mark, more patients start to regain their sense of smell. we get to 95% of patient

i have a feeling you're going to tell us it's too late to wait until fall but tell us what you think. >> i think vaccine manufacturers are thinking about that but right now we want to protect people. there are some communities that are only 50% vaccinated. because there's so much misinformation about the vaccine that's perpetuated out there, we want people to read about the vaccine, go to the cdc website. go talk to your doctor. it's safe. it's very effective. it's generally very safe and, you know, we want you to protect yourself and your families >> well, dr. curtis chan, i can't tell you how much we appreciate you spending time with us. good luck. >> thank you. >> we'll take a short break on the >>> and we are back. we have dr. patel on this big day. there's a recommendation but we need you to mask up indoor so dr. patel has prepared another round of two truths and a lie. >> you've got to get this right. with our viewer's help you will tell me ask bans requiring. or b, all outreach has for routine vaccination, also measles, hpv and others. c, two vaccines have clear evidence of bei

she said i already rarely use any water. as we said from the drought of 1976 about the toilet, if it is yellow, let it mellow. if it is brown, lush it down. but the point about already not using much water, or 20% is easy to cut but then you get to more and more and it becomes harder. we are at that point now. i barely use any. we have to look at long-term solutions. where is that at? are we investing in recycling? buying water? desalination? what other long-term results? >> those are big scale solutions. all of us center around increased innovation and technology. we are seeing toilets now that are 1.6 gallons a/and in the 1970s more like six or seven gallons. so we are replacing toilets but on a larger scale, we don't -- we see the south day, orange county. really having invested a while ago in water recycling, and that is proving to be what they are calling a drought proof water supply. and i really like that terminology because it is true. when we are reusing water, finding ways to clean it, finding ways to inject it int
