Citing dramatically reduced Covid-related hospitalizations and deaths, Governor Gavin Newsom announced this week that he’s lifting California’s Covid-19 state of emergency at the end of February.

That’s according to UCSF’s Dr. Bob Wachter, who joins us to answer your questions about case rates, subvariants, vaccines and more.

Guests:

Dr. Robert "Bob" Wachter, professor and chair of the Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco.<br />
