    Regarding news story featuring Dr. Rai and Covid on Spectrum News:
    As a regular viewer of Spectrum One, an LA County Resident for 30 years, and married to a practicing physician/surgeon – UCLA medical school trained; – I was astonished, disappointed, and honestly shocked to see the story this morning featuring Dr. Rai regarding Covid. It was absolutely the most alarming interview to see a general MD going from exam room to exam room talking to and examining patients with respiratory symptoms, sore throats, Covid symptoms, etc AND HE WAS NOT WEARING A MASK!! THE PATIENTS WERE NOT WEARING MASKS!!! AND YOU CONCLUDED THE INTERVIEW WITH HELPFUL HINTS TO STAY HEALTHY THAT INCLUDED WASHING HANDS AND WIPING OFF SURFACES???!!! IT’S AN AIR BORNE VIRUS. WE LEARNED DURING THE PANDEMIC THAT WIPING OFF SURFACES WAS NOT HELPFUL. BUT A MASK….A FACIAL MASK COVERING THE MOUTH AND NOSE IS CRITICAL TO THE SPREAD OF AIR BORNE VIRUSES! My husband and his colleagues were simply shocked. This level of irresponsibility by the physician in this news clip and the extreme lack of fact-checking on behalf of the Spectrum News reporters is truly shocking. People died because of this Air Borne virus – shame on LA County and Spectrum News for such poor and dangerous health reporting.
