Thats what it felt like wheres everybody are we the last people on earth. Keeping us safe social distance has advised by Health Officials i talked with a few people out here about what they were witnessing. I feel is the right way the right thing to do because it will go by fast and ever. And certain you know, i mean im just you know i dont know what what to expect in a statement kron 4 news macys declared the closures of its name brand plus bloomingdales bloomer curry outlet facilities and Market Stores as quote.

Security guards patrol, the empty plaza. A few curious people drove by in cars and passed by on bikes. It is wild. To see too. Right around downtown wannacry can see a completely empty. And the signs the retail stores. Theres also a lot of restaurants in this area, but weve not seen anyone go in to any of the restaurants, even though they could be offering take out it is just that bleak out here. Here wannacry theresa kron 4 news. Notice in that story how teresa was not holding the mike for people and getting close. They held at this infected at hand it back disinfected because this thing is getting bigger Johns Hopkins university now says there are 200,000 cases of infected people with coronavirus around the world and here in the bay area. We have 300 confirmed cases and on the rise there 6 deaths so far and the bay area, heres the breakdown county by county. Santa clara county is suffering the most and a 155 cases so far 5 people have died in San Mateo County 64 people have tested positive and one person has died.

And now not reporting anybody or infected. Testing positive. But you know that thats going to change we have not seen widespread testing yet at this point youve been told to act like you have it and are exhibiting symptoms and act like everybody else does too. And thats how were going to do was socially isolate stay away from each other and hopefully stop the spread. Things are getting worse as far as the school kids to the governor of california already hinted that we might not have and go back to school for the rest of the school year and kansas has already made that hard decision they have decided the kids will not return to the classrooms for the rest of the Academic Year our governor warned about that possibility yesterday kron fours will tran is live with the latest well. Daria the reason why governor newsome has not followed kansas yet because he knows schools are very important to low income families from meals but hes not taking it off the table that he too might sign an executive order to close the school year down and let the kids just ride it out going to summer and then come back to fall, right now schools like Lowell High School in San Francisco, they already voluntarily shut down a couple of days ago, shut down for 3 weeks up to a month just to create social distance to try to flatten the curve for the coronavirus now the governor said that dont expect to come back probably even at the end of the 3 weeks to a month because he knows this thing is getting out of hand in his first audience was his daughter his daughter mrs. School her friends but he had to tell his daughter thats probably not going to be the case because they want to create social distance. He realizes its going to be very tough for a lot of families who not only rely on the schools for meals but rely on the schools to take care of the kids while they go to work and try to put food on the table. The governor says right now everything is on the table. Let me be candid. This is a very sober thing to say and i can say this with certainty but i can say this quite learned late. Dont anticipate schools are going open up in a week. Please dont anticipate in a few weeks and i say that because one needs to be honest and i need to be accountable to you i want to mislead you to 6 plus million kids and our system and their families they need to make some plans at a time when a lot of plans are already being curtailed the planning with kids and some of the most challenging planning i would plan in assume, and its unlikely. That many of these few if will open up before the summer break. He also said that if they do not return for this school year that he will try to turn a lot of the buildings that obviously will not be occupied physically by the students in lets face it theyre still in school or are they doing online classes that he said that he will try to turn a lot of the buildings into Day Care Centers bring in the personnel to help the parents who need to go to work to make ends meet. Hes also going to waive the standardized tests for a lot of the students who rely on them to go to college that will be waived as well and hes actually praising President Trump theyve been very combative throughout the years but hes actually praising President Trump to try to get federal funding because without schools, the School District to the whole system wide they lose money because without the kids in school they dont get funding so lot of things in play the governor says hes not taking this lightly but in this particular case coronavirus is the call of the day he says he has to make sure everybody is safe back to work to get personal for second. Well, i mean my kid is and a senior. As seniors probably over i dont know whats happening with college. A milder daughter had to return from her college in scotland. With this travel stuff going on how about your kids theyre younger. My kids are in 5th grade i pick them up right after i get off from work so i watched them and i got to tell every teacher right there. You guys are rock stars to be home with your children during this time is very difficult i make them do their online work.
