Epidemiologist, joining us now, to answer these questions. Thank you for being here. Other states and countries have issued curfews, but how effective are they, or is this more of a wakeup call so that people get it and take the spread seriously . In europe, at least in some places they have been quite successful. The french have turned the curve over, it started to come down, pretty precipitously, after they invoked a curfew. In europe, a lot of this has to do with closing bars. Which as you can imagine, are centers of social interaction. But i think that is, those are pretty much closed anyway, it does put time frames are on things, and gives a break at least four most of the evening, and the early morning. The other thing it doesnt do is it doesnt just close everything down period, which is a good way and more layered in that sense. Californias Positivity Rate is up 52 , hospitalization 63 percent, and what do the numbers tell you about the spread in peoples behavior . The spread in peoples behavior are essentially one and the same, all of this is a consequence of mixing and in certain ways, predominantly indoors, without masks on. Without social distancing, all the stuff weve talked about, this is what happens. When you say the positively rate has doubled, it has gone from 2. 5 up to 5 , we have a ways to go, Something Like 50 of tests are currently testing positive. But it is a serious wake up call. Right now we have icu capacity and inpatient capacity, that doesnt necessarily last forever. We received questions from viewers including this one, one is it safe to see somebody who has had covid, and are they really not contagious after a certain amount of time . People out of the hospital, once theyre out of there, with the cdc recommends is that they are not infectious after 10 days, thats probably even a little long, but in terms of seeing people, if they are out of the hospital, 10 days after diagnosis is plenty, long enough, and probably on the conservative side. If they are in the hospital, especially the icu, they stay infectious longer, for as many as 20 days, so you kind of have to double it if youre in the hospitals. Lets hope we get past the holidays and everyone is healthy. Thank you. My pleasure, take care. A new task force will start finding businesses were not complying with covid guidelines, the county has received 900 complaints, over businesses opening illegally or workers not wearing masks. No fines have been issued, the county will set out a task force to investigate. Find start from 100 and go up to 500. For businesses, they started 250 and go up to 1000. After months and months of this, folks really should know three simple things, wary mass, be socially distant and wash her hands. Do you think that will make people wear a mask, a 100 fine . Bigger yes, i dont want the fine. Violators can request a hearing with the Health Department and appeal the fine within 30 days. The bay area and coal country might seem worlds apart, but we discovered our bay plays a Critical Role in the export of coal to asia, and some people in richmond say they are paying the price. Reporter the insides of their classrooms are covered in coal dust. Weve been covering the fight over big coal in Contra Costa County for years, andrea has more in the new battle in this original report. Reporter week after week, trains carrying coal from utah unload their cargo at the Marine Terminal in richmond. Trucks full of Petroleum Coke and oil industry byproducts, driving by the phillips 66 refinery. From here, they are transferred onto ships, headed for asia, burned as fuels. A thriving business that richmond residents say is happening at the expense of their health. Obviously i dont like it. Reporter dahlia and her mother were among the thousands of residents that tried to stop coal shipments through the town. These train cars travel through residential areas in richmond. Bad for the environment, not just the pollution of the town, but basically the pollution of the world. Reporter pushback from residents resulted in a new city ordinance, that phases out the storage and transportation over three years. We have learned that the terminal along with the Utah Coal Company that exports the kolkata and phillips is t6, which exports the petco, are looking to overturn the ordinance. They claim among other things, that it violates their constitutional right to free commerce. The fossil fuel industry decided they didnt like the band and challenged it in court, so now all of us in court are defending the band. Reporter the executive director of San Francisco bay keeper, supporting the city of richmond and the legal battle, the bay keepers patrol boat has been monitoring the terminal the water for years to make sure the coal dust is not polluting the bay. The coal industry is trying to get 11 million tons of coal out of bay area ports, and what theyre trying to do is basically make the bay area coal country. Reporter data from the u. S. Census bureau, which tracks trade, says that through the terminal it skyrocketed from 120,000 metric tons in 2016, up to 738,000 and 2019, a 615 increase. From the air you can see why richmond residents are risk, train tracks run right next to neighborhoods that have been designated by the epa as disadvantaged, because of the many sources of air pollution they are exposed to, including two freeways in the chevron oil refinery. This is an absolutely huge deal. Reporter amanda pushed for the coal ban is speaking out to defendant. We know the particular manner matter, that comes off it is toxic in making people sick. Reporter many of her young patients attend school just half a mile away. The insides of the classroom are covered in coal dust by the end of the day, and the cars, if that is what is inside the classrooms on their cars, it is in their long as. And it is just the reality of it. Reporter a spokesperson for the terminal told us they cant, because of the lawsuit. Our cameras were not welcome outside the facility in richmond. Who are you you back the richmond mayor had plenty to say. Its costing the city a lot of money. Reporter he says the sierra club drafted the coal ordinance but wont cover the citys cost of defending it. Sierra club is not poor, they are 1 million per year organization, but you know, once the ordinance was passed, they basically cut the city loose and said youre on your own. Reporter he says he was ready to settle before the ordinance passed, and is ready again. If levin was willing to season seven years, it might take seven years to work through the lawsuit. Reporter lauren and her daughter, dahlia, hope they would just back off. And leave the ordinance standing. It is obvious the writing is on the wall, that we need to make these changes to make california livable for kids. Im like a 13yearold girl, please think about our generations future. And how every little action you are doing is affecting us. Reporter kpix 5. The sierra club flatly denies that it never promised to pay the citys legal fees. Phillips 66 city can, because of the pending lawsuit, and wolverine fuels, the Utah Coal Company, never got back to us.
