Sifting in the Tri State. Things been up to good in Florida. Liz
Bonus, I'm sure has a resort home there, but nonetheless here in the
Tri State, whether it cannot be better read spacebook picks off really about six
ten to night. They lost last night four to one. They're in a
critical stretch. The horse is breaking down, as had come down the last
poll. Not good. Nonetheless, just when you think they're dead, they
might win. According to Tony Benner, the next ten games in a row
and everything changes. So we'll see what occurs there. Plus later on to
Scott Powell about what's happening at Arlington National Cemetery with the Reconciliation monument. But
until then, Liz Bonus of Channel twelve, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham
Show, and Liz, how are you? Oh hey, William Great.
I wish I had a Florida home, although not this week. Yes,
parts of Florida will be devastated, but we know, we'll see what happens.
They're prepared to get it done. But a couple of things you've done
recently really interested me, and one was tattoo regrets. But more important,
I see from the national media that at Rutgers University, which has something like
sixteen thousand students in New Jersey. Everyone must mask up, must get all
your vaccine cards ready to go. There's a couple of high schools in Kentucky
shutdown because of COVID, and all I can think about is here we go
again. We're not ready for this. Give us, give the American people
a four report as we sit here this Tuesday afternoon of COVID in preparation for
the next variant. Yeah, so you know what happens Labor Day weekend,
everybody gets their last travel thing in and there is this new variant that they
said, oh, we found one case in the US, but if you
found one, it's everywhere and it is really raising concerns even though we are
just starting to track it. It's called pierola. Have you heard of that
one? Say that again, Pierola. Never heard of it? Call one,
never heard of it. So I had to look up, like where
do these nicknames come from? So it's actually the bat two dot a six
variant. But piola is like a plant that has a woody stem that sort
of doesn't hold. So what they found is this new variant has thirty six
different mutations on it, and so, for example, Omicron had like one
or two that was different from the last virus. It has so many that
are so different that they're worried it's going to be a brand new strain and
it could hit us much in the same way Delta did or Omicron did,
where we had no immunity to it at all. And that's why everybody's like,
well, most of what we're seeing isn't this yet. But if we
start masking up, maybe we can protect against it. I'm reading this one.
Yeah, and please talk to me about the BA two eighty six.
More than thirty new mutations currently identified as a sub lineage of the Omicron strain,
nicknamed Parola by some scientists, confirmed the Virginia and Ohio according to The
Wall Street Journal. So we're right in the middle of it, always,
aren't we. Like you can count on being right in the middle if you're
in Ohio. Actolutely true. Yeah, I say that we're spect out in
the middle. So what they're worried about is, you know, most of
us should have some immunity, either from getting a vaccine or having had the
virus. But how many differences does it take before even people with immunity get
hit again. And it was really interesting. There was a study I was
just looking at yesterday out of Gale that said the new boosters are supposed to
be out in like October, and they estimate if you don't get it,
you have like a one in three chance of probably getting COVID again somewhere in
the next year or two. And I'm like, well, that's a pretty
broad spectrum. If you get a booster, you that chance goes down to
one in twenty. So with this new stuff, they're anticipating that you're going
to see, especially if you're older, have we can immunity, have a
secondary condition that might impact your heart, or your liver or your lung.
You may be really at risk more than you'd think. And I'm telling people,
like, if you're traveling this weekend, I'm not really worried about most
of the people in the US, but they're a very good chance you're going
to be sitting next to someone from India, from Australia, from Africa,
because we're international travels now, and so if you're traveling in an airport,
I'm not as worried about the plane because they filter that air. But everywhere
else, you're going to be exposed to probably new strains of COVID that we
have not had yet, because that's what's happening and that's where it's coming from.
So you might want to consider the mask thing if you're like headed somewhere,
like I mean, it's up to you. If you don't want to,
when you want to take your chances, that's okay, But you know
it's you know, Liz Bone is the other thing. Me and my buddies
have had it up to hear with COVID the great majority of people I know.
And you're run in different circles because you're bright, intelligent, educated,
you're like in the medicine and health and all that stuff. But my buddies
have had enough to hear with COVID. Don't want to hear about it.
We're not gonna take any more shots. Whatever it is, it is,
it's overhyped. And that's the attitude. Now, tell me the attitude of
people like Tony Bender is wrong. Well, I will say that it's partly
wrong, like I want it to be over too, but just because I
want certain things, like I want to be a millionaire and I can keep
playing a lottery, but it hasn't happened yet, so I would view it
like that, like we really want to think that this is gone, but
in truth, it's simply evolving. I mean, it's okay if it's going
to be here to stay. You know what, we can get our annual
vaccine if we're at risk. It's just like with the flu, but we
just this virus has been It's surprised a lot of us, and well,
I want to say, hey, it's over, and it was all a
bunch of hype. And I think if what we learned, if anything,
is that probably the least vulnerable, like the kids and stuff, we didn't
do ourselves any favor keeping them out of school and keeping them out of activities
because now we have like mental health problems that are at just huge levels.
But I think when we look at the best of us, there sort of
needs to be some self responsibility. So isn't the government's job to tell me
what vaccines to take and where to go and what to wear masks included,
but even your job to know your health. And I know that concept of
like self responsibility to people isn't a great one. We don't like that.
We'd rather in some cases like assume no responsibility or be told what to do.
But this is about you, you know, don't worry about everybody else.
What is it that's right for you? And if you think you're at
risk, pay attention as some of these rises. Yesterday, the Health Collaborative
told me the last four to six weeks they've seen a rise. And the
only way you can tell is through hospitalizations. And hospitalizations are up, like
you know ten percent. Now those might be really sick people, but you
know if you're one of them, and you know, if your grandma's one
of them and you don't want her to get that. The other thing about
this virus is we're seeing the fallout now, like don't you know a bunch
of people that are like I got COVID and seemed to stay in my knees
or stay in my back, or stay in my lung. You know,
once you get it, this just likes to go to things that already hurt.
It's an inflammatory virus. So if you have rights writers a ghost to
your knees, if you have lung problems, like as might ghost you're lung
And why it does that, I don't know, but you know you might
want to ask your doctor, what's the personal thing for me? Like you
said, you always ask the right questions about your heart. God bless you
for that, you know, but I don't have the same heart you do,
so my prescription for good health might be really different. I would just
say, just like you do with every other illness. Now it's cold seasons,
blue season's art spe season, it's COVID season. Realize that that's now
the added virus, and pay attention to that. I am a little worried
about this parola, Like I'm really really watching it because I'm like, man,
if we get another dealt so this is going to really suck. And
even if all of us want to say it's over, when people are getting
really, really sick, very suddenly, we're gonna wish that we had done
something or at least paid attention to it. I'm reading this story in the
Wall Street Journal. Ninety seven percent of Americans they've either had COVID or they're
immune to it. And many people had mild cases and didn't get tested and
didn't know they had it, but they had it. So I ninety seven
percent of the American people have either had COVID or they've been exposed to it
or they have all the vaccines and the boosters ninety seven percent, how bad
can it be if we're dealing with that three percent that you can't get to
do anything at any point. And so if ninety seven percent of us or
either of haad covid or we have vaccines against it, does I give us
protection against parola? No, because it's like the flu. Like so if
you have the flu last year, you don't go I'm ninety seven percent protected
this year. It's a completely different strain. So if I have now this
is a we think a descendant of omicron, but it's so different that you
can get the flu and get really sick. I mean, you have the
flu, you want to have crawl to pay. Yeah, So think about
that. And it didn't matter if you had the flu the year before.
So if you really look at how it works, it's a different virus with
parola. Now, the other ones, I'll give you that they've been just
slight variations. We don't have indications yet that those will put you in the
hospital. But this one could be a little tricky. So I just think
we had to watch it. It's only like I said, there's one case
or two cases reporting in the US, which usually means it's everywhere. Do
you remember when COVID first hit and why we ignored it. It was on
the front page of the La Times the same day that Kobe Bryant had the
flight crash. Remember that, And there was this little article that said five
cases of this strange virus that came from China, And we're like, oh,
what's the virus from China? What do we know? Nobody even paid
attention to it. I'm just saying we should learn from that and now pay
attention to it. If we start to see it. At least people at
high risk might do better to get a booster, or wear a mask,
or stay away from sick people. Or my biggest thing is please if you
are sick, even if you don't know what it is, please stay home.
You know, the whole thing that COVID, if it did anything good
for us, it made us realize that you showing up to work when you're
sneezing and coughing and have a fever and all that, it's not good because
things travel all over the phones and the keyboards for everybody else. So I'm
just asking you to remember those little five cases that were on the front page
of the La Times that nobody was paying attention to. And remember, oh,
no big deal. That was no big deal yet was I don't want
to be one of those people that think that. But it's true. Let's
bonus a couple of things stuck out. And what you've said that one out
of three is opposed to one out of twenty. And what I'm going to
do is called doctor Dean Kryocus of the Christ Hospitals Aidino, what do I
do? And if he tells me to get the booster, I'm going to
get the booster. And if he tells me not to get the booster,
I'm not going to get the booster. And that's what everyone should do.
Talk to your doctor and if you're just pay attention to what they say.
I'm not going to change my own oil. I'm not going to do my
own taxes. I'm not going to fix them my own electrical problems. I'm
going to call somebody in that business. And your doctor is in that business.
And so if my doctor says get the booster, I'm gonna saddle up
next to him, present an arm and get the booster. If he tells
me you don't have to do it, then I'm not going to do it.
Does that make sense? Oh, my goodness, that so makes sense.
I don't even do my own hair highlights because it might come out the
wrong color. They have trained people for that stuff. This is why you
have a trusted professional. You know somebody can tell you what is right for
you. Somebody can make your highlights look pretty. I know you guys don't
worry about that stuff, but trust me, the girl take you really get
it. You cannot make the perfect color because you don't have the understanding of
what it takes to do that same thing with your body. Your doctor knows
your body. I'm incredibly proud of you. Pie says, don't get it,
don't worry about it. If he says go for it, you might
want to consider it. We've probably got a month, but it'll be widely
available by early October with the flu shots now. Secondly, Tattoo regrets my
good hot date about forty years ago, and he's got some girl's name on
there named Suzanne on his left bicept and he kept dating's name Sue, Susanne
or Susan because I didn't want to change the tattoo. What do you do
when you have tattoo regrets and you want to get her name or his name
off a private part? What do you do? This is so interesting.
New survey just came out that in the US at least one in four of
us have tattoo regret and nce or worldwide it's as many as eight and ten
have at least one tattoo that they don't like. I'm just working on a
story. It'll Aaron Local Pub at five thirty tonight, and there is a
There are some newer lasers, but there's one called pico Shure. And what
you want to do is you want to ask with different lasers, how do
they respond to dye color? So what they do is, you know,
normal lasers will be attracted to like a dark blue. You guys don't remember
this, but when they first started, you would paint the dark blue stuff
on your legs and then if you wanted, like laser leg surgery to get
rid of the hair, it would be attracted to that and it would dap
it. And I just remember it was like four thousand dollars a leg.
So I never did it. But the new were lasers now are attracted They've
designed them to be attracted to different colors. And what they can do is
they can penetrate the surface of the skin and go to for that color to
remove it. But let me tell you, it is not without pain,
and it is not without time and money. So, like you go in
and Tony wants to put his little Suzanne on there, and he wants be
are rid of that name because now he's married to marry or whoever. He's
going to go through about a good six to eight weeks at about two hundred
bucks a pop at least, depending on the side of the tattoo. And
like, if it's only green, you might be okay. But nowadays,
do you notice that the tattoos are like multicolors all that, And so if
you don't get the right laser, it'll get rid of like pieces of it,
but not all of it. So we're talking big money here, dude.
We're talking thousands of hours, right, thousands, yes, thousands,
way more to take it off than it was to put it on. I
was just in this morning talking to this young girl and she's said, like,
I just always like tattoos, and so she had, you know,
a bunch of birds put on for each member of her immediate family. Well,
now she says, she no longer has that husband, and she wants
just the pieces of the family with her own kids. And so she's going
to remove like one of the pieces. And then she's got another one on
that was all the way up the arm. And I said, she goes,
I don't like this one, Like, what don't you like about it?
She wanted to look like half moon and she said it looked like pieces
of pizza, pepperoni. Good stuff. Well we'll be watching tonight for that
thing. That's good stuff. He goes, I've never had a tattoo,
never will get a tattoo, but many people do. And what some drunken
bene in Tijuana, which is how Bender got his tattoo. Maybe after your
sob up, things are a bit different. But Liz Bonus, thank you.
But the most thing is Parola is coming. Parola is coming. Sounds
like an Italian dessert, but Parola is coming. And you say, September
October, get ready and listen to what your doctor tells you to do.
Lutely, Willie, we want to keep you well. Not everybody, but
you, we want to keep well. I remember that you know some people
don't want to do that, but that's a different story. I always joke
like a Valp reporter, I can help you have a heart attack if we
need to. We don't want to do that, right. We need you
living well. We love you, Willie have a great day, and God
bless America. Liz Bonus, you're the best. Thank you at what you
do. Let's continue with more. And if you're sick and tired of COVID,
joined the crowd. But like anything else, I get an annual flu
shot because their variants are different. And if what they're saying is accurate,
come October, we're gonna have all hell breaking loose high schools and Kentucky or
shut down Rutgers requires some masking and all kind of all kind of testing and
boosters for those not at risk, young people that are healthier not at risk,
but nonetheless older folks might be. So let's continue your comments of any
