Reported hes been isolating with his family. There was a covid concern. Out of an abundance of caution, theyre isolating. There was a covid concern with some of his kids. Heres the bottom line. Heres what we gleaned from this afternoon. Again, there was a lot to die jef jest. He went into great detail about how the vaccine or vaccines will be distributed and how the state will help. The governor said the state will not be distributing the vaccines. Instead that will be up to the Drug Companies partnering with your health care provider. For example, if you go to kaiser or sutter haelealth, they would have it. However, the state will help in the distribution. Also today a third possible vaccine was announced by astrazeneca and oxford university. So now moving forward, among the pressing questions, do we have a choice on which vaccine to take, and who gets it first . It shouldnt surprise anybody that the phase one vaccination Distribution Plan in terms of prioritization is focusing first and foremost on our Health Care Workers, these truly essential workers that are now experiencing even more stress after months and months of intense stress. In the beginning, you are likely not going to have a lot of choices. Remember, any of these vaccines are going to be given whats called emergency use authorization, which is essentially a special permit to be able to offer this vaccine to limited populations. So it will not be as easy as being able to go to your cvs. Some good insight there from our nbc news medical contributor. So what comes next . We talked about that Astrazeneca Oxford vaccine. By the way, on their dosage, their suggestions, its up to 90 effective. Keep in mind the flu vaccine is about 60 to 70 effective. Pfizer, moderna, they already have 95 effective vaccines about to go to market there. Distribution partners with california. So its most likely that when you go to get your vaccine shot in the next several months, it will be from pfizer or moderna. December, as the governor was mentioning, as early as a few weeks from now, the first in line to get this vaccine, Health Care Workers and first responders. As a point of reference, the general population for most of us, anytime between february and may of next year. Its also worth noting the speed in which were getting these vaccines is pretty amazing. Almost every medical expert you talk to will say they are astonished, happy of course that this is happening at such a rapid speed, all within a year of the original coronavirus. Guys, back to you. Thank you, raj. Good information. In the meantime, the rest of us have to do what we have to do to stay healthy, and thats proving to be an issue here in california because covid cases are at an alltime high. In fact, this is officially the worst surge weve seen in the pandemic since it began. Let me show it to you. The chart behind me shows when we reached our daily 14 average average of new cases that the state sees every day. This was the first surge that we had back in the summer, right . This is at the end of july. Our highest average then was 9,504 cases a day, a day. Cases then went down through august and september, and now look where we are here. We started to see that surge kind of tick up again in october, and then theyve just been going up at an alarming rate. Here we are, november 22nd. The daily average, 14day average, now 9,894 cases a day. And right now theres no sign of that slowing down. Jessica, the surge prompting a big announcement from the Santa Clara CountyPublic Health department. It will be cracking down on stores and customers not following the rules on black friday. Nbc bay areas robert handa broke the story on twitter. He joins us live from san joses willow glen area to tell us about the socalled enhanced enforcement. Robert, theyre ready to hand out citations. Thats right. It almost felt like a sign of frustration when the Public Health department told me about this new enforcement and this new unforgiving attitude. Now, while shops and shoppers here in willow glen prepare for the black friday shopping sales, they could find those Santa Clara County business Enforcement Teams as part of the crowd. The Public HealthDepartment Says the covid rate and hospitalizations are the highest theyve ever been in the south bay, so now the old attitude of handing out citations as a warning is about to end. Shops that dont enforce rules such as capacity limits or social distancing or crowds ignoring face masks wont get a break. Once you get a citation, there is an appeals process, but there is no longer a grace period. Youre going to have to pay that citation. How much is the citation . Well, it varies depending on the violation. It can range from 500 upwards. Reporter many people we talked to supported the idea but some said it was a bit much. Im not a fan of having any kind of roaming enforcement. I think weve been educated enough. At this point the question isnt education, i think its the will to comply. Reporter Public Health officials agree the time for just Public Education is past. Enhanced enforcement will start on thanksgiving day and run through the weekend at least because Public Health officials have not ruled out continuing that enforcement afterwards. Live in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. Well, it is a historymaking move. For the first time ever, the San FranciscoDistrict Attorneys Office is charging a former Police Officer for the homicide of an unarmed man in 2017. Tonight the family of that man says its hoping this unprecedented announcement lds toeal Police Reform. Heres nbc bay areas jackie rd. No one is above the law. Reporter that is the message San FranciscoDistrict Attorney chesa boudin wants every San FranciscoPolice Officer to hear tonight, nearly three years after 42yearold kaeda oneill was shot and killed by a rookie officer. He was fired in the weeks after, and now former sfpd officer faces various charges of man slaur slaughter and assault. This decision sends a message that i hope will be loud and clear to San Franciscos Africanamerican Community and all residents of San Francisco. Reporter on december 1st, 2017, police say oneill stole a state lottery van and led police on a chase into the bayview. When oneill reached a dead end, he bailed out and ran. As we see from body camera footage, thats when on only his fourth day of duty, the officer fires his gun through the passenger window of the patrol car he was, killing oneill. Oneill was unarmed. It sends a signal to the Police Department that unlawful killings are not going to be tolerated any longer. Reporter the familys attorney said although this cant fully make up for the loss of a loved one, the family is hopeful this will lead to Police Reform here and across the country. A lot of people are taking the position that this is like an extreme liberal stance that hes taking, but its not. Its in alignment with the state law. Its in alignment with the federal law. Reporter the Police Officers association ensures that the officer involved will receive a fair due process and a vigorous defense. Meanwhile, the District Attorney says that this case is still in its earliest stages and it could escalate to murder charges. In San Francisco, jackie ward, nbc bay area news. Thank you, jackie.

Several Oakland Council members asked the governor to appoint longtime oakland congresswoman barbara lee to the vacant post. Former Assembly Speaker willie brown speaking out, asking newsom to replace harris, whose ethnicity is black and indian, with another africanamerican. To replace Kamala Harris with someone other than another person of Kamala Harris ethnicity and her color, i think would be inconsistent with good judgment and politically it makes good sense. The former mayor also floated the novel idea that Governor Newsom could appoint himself to the Vacant Senate seat and let the Lieutenant Governor take the governors office.

Reporter the hammocks immediately painted over the writing to keep their three Young Children from seeing it.
