She covers so much in this 30-minute interview to clear up confusion and to offer the latest data.

She gives us the latest update on the current variant and masking, as well as what breakthrough covid really means. She also shares her thoughts on how we can get back to normal and why even saying that is upsetting to so many people (at least on Twitter where Dr. Gandhi regularly posts). There are a couple of articles available on the show notes page that she references. Tune in now and access the show notes at https://thegoodlifecoach.com/176 WHAT WE DISCUSS: The efficacy of the vaccines against the latest variant. Whether breakthrough infections is what it should be called when someone fully vaccinated gets the virus. The latest update on masks, which ones are most reliable, and how they can be used for protection. What endemic means and why countries are moving away from zero-covid strategies. Why natural immunity should be considered like it is in Europe and why Dr. Gandhi still recommends creating hybrid immunity with one dose if you've had it. Where we are headed and is it possible to get back to normal? She explains why it's important to have rational management moving forward.

Recent studies have shown that people who are battling obesity are more likely to have a severe reaction or be hospitalized if infected with Covid -19. Obesity is also linked to impaired immune function and a decrease in lung capacity. 2021 Obesity Stats (data from the World Population Review): * The United States ranks 12th in the world for obesity. * Approximately, 36.9% of American adults (age 20 and older) are obese. * Approximately 15% of children are obese. Here are the 10 states with the highest rates of obesity: Mississippi (40.80%) West Virginia (39.70%) Arkansas (37.40%) Oklahoma (36.80%) Kentucky (36.50%) Tennessee (36.50%) Alabama (36.10%) Michigan (36.00%) Louisiana (35.90%) South Carolina (35.40%) Dr. Luis Ostrosky-Zeichner is a professor of medicine and epidemiology, the Vice-Chair of Medicine for Healthcare Quality, the director of the Laboratory of Mycology Research, and the Division Chief at the Division of Infectious Diseases of the McGovern Medical School (a part of UTHealth).

Dr. Gandhi and I start disucssing how her HIV background helped shape some of her Covid philosophies. We then segue to when Covid came on her radar and the cycle of severe disease. We discuss the polarizing politcial reactions and OVER-reactions to Covid. Was it ok to take off the mask for a while? We discuss vitriol from fellow Democrats. I give an umbrella analogy around mask wearing. Then of course, we discuss the DELTA VARIANT as public enemy #1, understanding recent CDC messaging, and the interpretation by vaccinated folks. We talk about how vaccines work, understanding effectiveness, and Covid risks in 2021 versus 2020. Vaccine side effects When will we see Delta go away and what is that based on? How does Delta effect young children? What should schools look like in the fall? Will variants evade vaccines in the future? What will Covid look like in 2 years? Should we worry about long COVID?

Dr. Marty joins Drucker to talk about her career, which has taken her all over the world.

President Trump had his first campaign rally, without a mask, since testing positive for Covid-19. He told the Florida crowd he feels “powerful” and would “kiss everyone.” Those comments come as cases across the country are rising and U.S. deaths near 215,000. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a White House Coronavirus Task Force Member, says holding political rallies is “asking for trouble.” Dr. Aileen Marty is an Infectious Disease Expert at Florida Atlantic University and she tells Anderson Cooper events like the Trump rally will cause more cases and the messaging is “completely wrong.” Plus, Tony Green supports President Trump and thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he had a family gathering at his house in June and all six people, including him, tested positive for Covid-19. It continued to spread and 14 family members ended up getting sick and two eventually died. He joins AC360 to describe the guilt he has for pushing the family to get together.

Plus, as the world waits for a an effective Covid-19 vaccine, there are some promising therapeutics that have been helpful.
