kristen: kristen: thank you for joining us on this interactive show. we covered the red flag warning then we just covid 19 headlines. much more coming up at 4:00. world news tonight is next. >>> tonight, breaking news. the deadly plane crash right into a neighborhood. the small plane smashing into homes and into a u.p.s. truck. the plane, the homes, the truck bursting into flames. the homes burned to the ground. emergency teams racing to help the victims. two seniors pulled from their home. what authorities revealed just a short time ago. >>> also tonight, turning the corner on this pandemic. the boston marathon returns. and tonight here, news on the america covid pill, taken if you get covid. what merck now saying their data shows. also potential boosters for moderna and johnson & johnson. how soon could we hear from the fda. late developments on the that front. >>> the travel chaos at u.s. airports tonight. a third straight day of widespread cancellations from southwest airlines.

kristen: ok. those places that we mentioned, college classes, religious places, gyms, what about in the elevator or the cafeteria? dr. willis: that's right. those are settings that would be outside that closed, confined -- we want to make sure people have control over their access points to those safe settings where people can remove their face coverings. one outside, they should hook -- continue to cover their faces. kristen: i got it, ok. it's the control. i was going to ask what is the analysis behind the but you do have to wear one with another person. it's the verification, not the number of people. do you fear some people will miss the nuance and take this as a signal that it's not ok to go mask list in indoor settings that are perhaps riskier? dr. willis: i think that's one of the reasons why we want to be as clear as we can in the specific criteria here that we're applying. the fact is that we are probably three weeks away at the earliest for lifting the mask mandates as a whole. there are

kristen: right. let's touch on this because it's related, a study today shows people who got the j&j vaccine initially they be helped more i other rands -- b and not its own. >> absolutely and this is what we were talking on with two truths. you and i have speculated about this for a while and this is not a new concept in vaccine science. heterologous immunity coming from two different vaccines. in layman's terms, it's like you're getting two different tools can work synergistically to densify the virus in the future. and remember, moderna and pfizer biontech are different type of vaccine, and mrna vaccine many vector vaccine was what johnson & johnson is. it's possible having two of them is a better outcome. an important thing is all of these studies are measuring antibody levels and that is only one component of the immune response that is fighting off sars-cov-2. they are not talking about the memory component. still a valid argument to say boosters may not be needed for every civil member of the

kristen: i love it. like the first runner-up in the bachelorette, people clamoring for their own story in which they can be the stars, and here it is. is that the final one or will there be more? abigail: i can't say. i have 12 projects right now. kristen: abigail, congratulations on everything on folks, if you want to submit casting videos, that information will be on our website. congratulations. coming up next, you don't hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. -what, you mean-- -mhm. -just like that. -wow. so sudden. um, we're not about to have the "we need life insurance" conversation again, are we? no, we're having the "we're getting coverage so we don't have to worry about it" conversation. so you're calling about the $9.95 a month plan -from colonial penn? -i am. we put it off long enough. we are getting that $9.95 plan, today. (jonathan) is it time for you to call about the $9.95 pl

kristen: glad you are here. what are love letters, who writes them and what did they typically include? >> love letters written by the buyer and given to the buyer's agent to give to the seller, are laced with a lot of personal information. an example would be, we want to fire your home because it is within two blocks of the church we want to attend. right there that tells you you can't have that because fair housing says there is a protected class against religion. or they may say, we love the staircase, we could see our children coming down at christmas time and opening their gifts in your beautiful living room. all these things the letters are personal indications of exactly what the people that want to buy the home are about on a personal level. most all of it violates fair housing. kristen: i understand it is a fairly new recommendation by the california association of realtors to say let's fade this out, but laws have not changed. it has always been against the law to discriminate based on religion, gender

kristen: walk us through. i know you created a situation where you tested it out to see what scammers can do. walk us through. you created a qr code. >> i created a qr code that had a way of sharing information back to me as the potential scammer of what information i could gather, just from someone making what you see here. what ends up happening is that a lot of times these qr codes have an intermediary step where information is being shared. it could be what kind of phone you are using. it could be what city you are coming from. when you couple that with information like your name and address, it puts together a complete picture scammers can use against you. kristen: can you tell me, when i go to a restaurant, the most common the thing is menus, but there are other things -- i used a qr code to get my vaccination to. how do you know if it is a real one or a fake one that a scammer slapped a sticker over? >> there is one proactive thing you can do, and there are qr scanning applications that look for a lot o

kristen: ok. and based on the current timeline, do you think five to 11-year-old could have maybe gotten one or both shots in for thanksgiving when families were gathered? because i think they're going to take this up to november for approval. dr. noble: yes. i think that is quite likely. last time i was on the show, i thought shots would be in arms just before halloween. it looks like the fda decision will be made in november 1, november 2, but should be approved soon thereafter, so looking like the first week of november the shots would go into arms. kristen: we have of your question. is it safe to get -- a viewer question. is it safe to get vaccinated while breast-feeding? dr. noble: it is indeed safe. pregnant women and lactating women should indeed get vaccinated. it is really quite protective, so by all means, yes. kristen: and if you've already gotten two shots of a vaccine, is there any reason to think that with a third one, the booster, which i understand is half a dose, you would get a d

kristen: that sounds good. my last question to you, the pace of new vaccinations is kind of at the lowest point since the shots first rolled out. president biden today said we are at a critical period, if you will, with 66 million more americans holding out. do you agree that we are at a critical period? >> we are at a critical period. if you look at the vaccines in the last week or so, we average like 360,000 people have already been vaccinated, and in terms of first-timers, it's only about 250,000 a day. so we're seeing like to american super vaccinated and people yet to be vaccinated. i hope the mandates will help drive the undecided into the vaccine count. kristen: dr., always great talking to you, thank you so much. we will take a short break on the air. when we come back, a conversation about what cli hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. -what, you mean-- -mhm. -just like that. -wow. so s

kristen: a ha. but tim still, that's not reassuring that everyone who's scammed will get their money back. are scams like this on the rise? michael: thank you very much certainly are and it's not just b. of a and not just zelle. we've seen it with other banks with zelle. when you statue a phone number, it tells people this is legit and this is eye i have to get it through everyone that just because a call says it's coming from a specific person doesn't mean it is. it's a very meal excitement program that will say in phone call is from kristen sze whether it's actually from michael funny criticism. kristen: right. give us the moral of the story, the things we need to do to protect ourselves. michael: there's never an emergency. that's the nature thing. when it comes to your munch, there isn't an emergency, if you haven't sent it out. slow down, get ahold of your financial institution through a different way than how you just heard from them. when someone contacts you, do not contacts back to them. go

kristen:. kristen: inspectors were on site once again at the chase center after one person fell, and another jumped, during a concert on the weekend. reporter melanie woodrow has the latest. melanie: inspectors with the san francisco department of building and inspection were atthatheuain enough, and that the stairs leading to the guardrail are steep. >> we had two of our most seasoned inspectors and they found the area to be code compliant. we do consider the issue closed. melanie: sunday night during a concert 47-year-old ryan posner of new york died after he left from an elevated area of the arena and fell a significant distance. a police spokesperson said before he left, he didn't appear to have any physical contact with any person. . police found no evidence of foul play. one hour later, police responded to another man. sf pd says both men were taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. officers did not find evidence of any criminal violation. this is the past president and curre

kristen: i'm kristen sze. you're watching getting answers. we ask experts your questions every day at 3:00 to get answers for you in real time. today, we'll take francisco business being honored for its creativity. today, the fda authorized the pfizer covered vaccine for children's aged 5-11, two steps away from going into young arms. recent polls show only one third of parents plan to. many more have questions. here to answer questions, special correspondent dr. patel. dr. patel in the house. dr. patel: delivering a little halloween treat right now for everyone out there. kristen: review on the abc 7 zoom, where you could get prizes if your child is a cutie pie and has a great costume? did you miss it? dr. patel: i did miss that. she doesn't have a costume on right now. she's just giggling. she wants everyone to see her skull and bones these. -- booties. kristen: she would have cleaned up you guys are quite the pair. i award you the best 3:00 p.m. costume of 2021. dr. patel: thanks, kristen. i'll take that little kiss now. she's gone. less c

kristen: i'm kristen sze. you are watching getting answers. we're asking experts your questions every day at 3:00. there is a lot to cover this friday and break down it comes to covid-19. of course, we'll begin with governor gavin newsom's biggest announcement, basically mandating vaccines for eligible students ages 12-17 once it is fully authorized, and younger kids, as well. he actually said two deadlines, january 1 or july 1, and it just depends on when the vaccine is fully authorized. joining us to talk more about this is special correspondent dr. patel and deputy superintendent, gentle light.... thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. kristen: california, the first state to issue such a mandate, mandatory vaccine for school students. you both support the decision? dr. patel? >> i do support it. i do support this decision and i support the fact that it is outlined by governor newsom. it should put a lot of people at ease. i don't want to overstep, but covid-19 is not going anywhere. we just need to find a safe path to move forward so

kristen: let's just emphasize the actual numbers are minuscule. five point eight cases out of a million for the second shot compared to .8 after the first. that is minuscule. let's talk about the fact that this is not insignificant. we hit 700,000 deaths in the u.s. from covid. i want to ask if you feel like that went by without too much of a blip. not so much for you guys, but the public. i saw a lot more outrage about dr. fauci's comment about not sure about christmas than the fact that we had 700,000 deaths. >> i think everybody has gotten a little numb to this. if you said 18 months ago we were going to have 100,000 deaths, everybody would say that's impossible. the number, the way i give it some sense and meaning and proportion is that it's now larger than the size of washington dc. if everyone in washington dc passed away, that would be fewer people died than who have died of covid. her member in each one of those is a person with a family, friends and loved ones, it is important to do that. the last 200,000, the vast majority of them did no

kristen: big brother. larry: all of this is coming, i wish it was any other company aside from facebook doing it. kristen: i am concerned with the information that they can collect with those goggles. in based on what we have seen about privacy in the past, it opens the question of how will they handle the data have. larry: it will be interesting to follow. recall reform, the changes proposed after this year's recall effort back from the dead. dia de los muertos is back but pandemic issues are still staticr mes king for, anneed... and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and
