Dr. Ashish Jha on the fast-spreading new COVID variant
joining us now to talk about all of this,and also the spread of the new covid,sub-variant here in these United States,is Dr Ashish Shah the White House,coveted response coordinator Dr John,good morning thank you for being here,hey good morning thanks for having me,back,so we just heard in the Liz Palmer,report about China that we're not,getting reliable information about the,spread of covet in that country no,surprise there but how concerned are you,that we might get a big surprise in the,form of a more lethal or dangerous,variant from that country,yeah it's a very good question look,first and foremost our hearts go out to,the Chinese people who a lot of whom are,suffering right now because of the way,the virus is spreading in the country in,terms of openness and transparency this,is something we have believed very,strongly from the beginning China should,be forthcoming on the data and on the,issue of a new variant you know one of,the things that China is not doing is,sharing its genomic surveillance data,every other country does this is when,you take the virus and you sequence it,and then you make it publicly available,every other country is doing it China is,not that makes it very hard for the,scientific Community to spot new,variants really important for the,Chinese government to do that so we may,not even know the U.S has imposed,testing requirements for travelers,coming from China and that's raised,questions about xenophobia anti-asian,bias well it will contribute to that,putting that to one side there's also,the question of will it be effective how,effective do you think that will be in,preventing any variant that could be of,concern from coming in from China yeah,so first and foremost on the issue of,you know the policy itself it applies to,everybody whether you're an American,you're a Chinese person if you're coming,from China you need to get a test first,it's part of a comprehensive policy and,the comprehensive policy has testing,before you leave also has enhanced,genomic surveillance once people arrive,here this is our effort to make sure,that if there is a new variant we spot,it early and that we try to keep as many,infections out of the country as,possible I think the whole package,itself is going to be very effective,Dr Shaw how much will the latest booster,shot protect Americans from the new,variant spreading here it's a great,question the answer is substantially,better than any of our prior vaccines,and here's what we know based on all the,data we have the new bivalent vaccine,this is the new one that we updated in,September uh does seem to provide a good,degree of protection against infection,and terrific protection against serious,illness so this is why the number one,thing people can do against this new uh,xbv-15 again funny name but uh the,number one thing people can do is make,sure they go out and get that new,bivalent vaccine,Dr John how about the covet antiviral,jug paxlovid is that still good when it,comes to being effective up against this,subvariant absolutely I mean based on,again everything we know it's a new,sub-variant we're doing the tests but we,have every reason to believe that the,oral antiviral paxilvate again super,effective drug if you get sick you,should get evaluated for getting it,um everything we know about it suggests,that it's going to work just fine,against a new variant,all right Dr ashisha thank you so much
