We can stem the tide, but its going to take all of us. Yeah i think th the everybody is saying that the president is still hopeful. That the country can reopen and that hes going to try to relax the social distancing. But if you look at the governors they say now is not the time to let up change snow in fact the viruses. Wrapping up if anything else weve got John Lawrence with the very latest now on both new york and california. The covid 19 pandemic is growing exponentially we see cases doubling every 3 to 4 days for 4 consecutive days this week the us had its deadliest day of reported deaths due to the virus mrs. Day 5 of corn gina day, 5 of widow, good for me. Were clicking off one day at a time and now the United States is the epicenter of the disease with the most cases in e world you got to hunker down nail down mitigate mitigate mitigate. Get the people taken care of thats what you got to concentrate on you have to go with the data vaccine trials are underway and the shutdowns and restrictions across the country remain in place to slow the spread of the disease. But no state has seen a decrease in cases which means the us probably has yet to hit the peak. I want to be clear the worst days are still ahead despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead the medical world did find positive news about the virus. The virus isnt mutating much thats good because its not going to come more lethal likely and its also going to be good for a vaccine. If the virus doesnt mutate much we still dont know when exactly this is going to end i think that is still the biggest thing that we dont know im John Lawrence reporting. And the picture gets clearer as more people are tested and the numbers also go up as more people are tested. Heres a breakdown of the bay area Santa Clara County now still hardest hit. With 542 confirmed cases, 19 deaths there San Francisco counties you can see 223 cases ey have 2 deaths as well. Theyre 195 cases reported in San Mateo County with 5 deaths 278 cases and 4 deaths in Alameda County contra costa with one death marine county 65 cases, Sonoma County 49 cases. One death there 34 cases in Solano County and napa county reporting 7 cases on the National Front today we have the us house of representatives expected to take a historic vote on a trillion coronavirus aid package that will have money for citizens financially hurt by this and also for businessesto that are struggling. Both parties coming together and although there are a ew differences. They say action needs to be taken we have joe khaleel with the very latest now from dc. So we had to take important action. Speaker nancy pelosi made a rare guarantee thursday, one way or another. We will passing built 2 miles pl he says after democrats took 3 days to negotiate changes. The urgent package now meet the mediate needs of American Workers families and hospitals able to flip this over from corporate trickle down republican version to bubble up for her first familys first legislation that is an outrig lie. The fundamental portions of this bill has not changed on sunday while minority leader Kevin Mccarthy strongly refutes Speaker Pelosi on how the relief package came to be both agree on the need to pass it and should not be delayed getting to the president s desk mccarthy says this package has overwhelming republican support but the process by which this was going to be taken. He says is going to look different for the safety of house members we have members on both sides the aisle who have the virus. We have members who are quarantine mccarthy says members who make it to the capital will maintain social distance and the podium going to be cleaned between speakers but hesays that wont stop the house from sending the bill on to the president it does not do enough, but we needed to do what we could senator Kamala Harris supports the bill but says the aid package falls short on paid sick leave and help for cities and states. So in this moment of a Public Health crisis lets remember that we still have a lot of work to do wk. She says lawmakers must continue throughout the crisis. In washington, im joe khaleel. For your money we have more than 3 Million People filing for Unemployment Benefits last week that is a huge spike in fact the most in us history and this comes as businesses as you well know are laying people off during this pandemic the previous high was 695,000 claims filed you got to go back to week in october of 1982 to find that prior to the pandemic claims have been hovering in the low 200 thousands which is actually a a good strong number it shows a healthy job market. But economists are now worried that the us economy will probably fall into a recession, sometime in the 2nd quarter theyre hoping though it can stage a comeback hopefully a strong comeback later this year. If and when the virus finally subsides businesses james things shut down starting today. The dmv is shutting down all of its offices because of the pandemic. Kron fours will tran santa by live in San Mateo County with what that means for all of us will. I just keep looking over because heres a car pulling into the parking lot the only car that i can see. Normally james duryea it would be so full of people i just checked the hours it open about to 4 minutes ago, but instead it is shut down that might just be a worker looks like that right now you will not be able to go on line or in even into the field offices because th are shutting down for deep cleaning just like the schools weve been reporting for the past month, the schools did deep cleaning. Well now the dmv needs to do the same thing plus theyve seen a dip and the number of people showing up to the field offices about 10 dip over the past couple of weeks or so really quickly tuesday maam are you here for the dmv appointment at all. She just shrugged her shoulders so it looks like shes a like a lot of people who might not be aware of this and we had a rude awakening when they show up to the dmv and realizes that it will be close shes hopping back into her car. But there is a little bit of good news though i can tell youthat the real id the deadline was supposed to be this october President Trump and governor Gavin Newsome they both agree that this is not going to happen because of whats going on so they are going to push it back until october 2021 as far as what the dmv is going to do well you cannot even hop online over the next couple of days, they will shut down and start again on april 2nd onne with a lot of the services that we used to doing face to face with e dmv employee, instead it will be done online things like vehicle transfer so looks like that ladies leading right no not very happy at all, but the bottom line is a lot of people.

One of the chinatown area and one near oracle park act locations haven been announced just yet but we understand they will be available for the public next week with First Responders getting priority. As the numbers continue to rise across the country President Trump and his administration is working right now in new guidelines to try and help local and state leaders come up with social distancing measures for the weeks ahead because the problem is only going to get worse. Jim acosta explains what the new guidelines would be. In the clearest sign yet he intends to reopen parts of the us in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic President Trump is moving toward relaxing. The nations social distancing measures in a letter to the nations governors, the president said the administration is drafting new guidelines for maintaining increasing or relaxing social distancing. The plan to classify counties with respect to continued risk posed by the virus highrisk medium risk and low risk large sections of our country probably can go back much sooner than other sections. And were obviously looking at that also. People are asking is that an alternative ths absolutely it is an alternative proposal may be at odds with what Administration Health experts like doctor anthony found she had been urging a go slow approach, you know make the timeline the virus makes the timeline. Not to mention both democrats and republicans who have been pleading with the president to listen to the scientists it wont happen unless we respect science science science. And for those who say we choose pair of the Scientists Say science is an answer to our prayers and president is under pressure to reignite the economy after nearly 3. 3 million americans filed unemployment claims last week the highest number on record. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin trying to downplay the staggering figure has only a temporary setback. I just think these numbers right now are not relevant and you know whether theyre bigger or smaller and the short term. You know, i mean obviously there are people who have jobless claims and again the good thing about this bill as the president is protectg those people. The Top Administration officials have been wrong before ke when commerce secretary wilbur ross predicted the coronavirus would be good for the economy earli this year i think it will help to accelerate. The return of jobs to north america. Federal reserve chairman Jerome Powell says americans will just have to ride it out we may well be in recession, but i again i would point to the difference between this and a normal recession. This isnt theres nothing fundamentally wrong with our economy to give the economy a jolt. The Senate Passed the trillion stimulus bill unanimously with the house vote expected friday. But some local officials Like Washington dcs mayor are outraged over how the aid is being allocated the district will only receive million while every other state will receive a direct payment. Of at least 1. 2 billion. In a sign of the times President Trump met with world leads in the g 20 over a Video Conference call instead of in person to discuss ways to combat the virus doctor found she said people around the world simply have to adjust to life in the era of social distancing. Doctor found she was saying that the president was just being optimistic and providing help. Critics say that hes giving false hope on the very same day yesterday that we saw the us over take the rest of the world with the most infections in our country we are now the epicenter in the glow for this pandemic lets take a look at the numbers here with the United States. 85,991 cases and counting and that is well over what china and italy have seen so far and statewide worse continuing to see the rise as well james we are now with the number of cases in california continuing to rise the question now is. What happens if the state becomes the next hot spot for the coronavirus pandemic could overtake new york and what would that mean for us if that happens prefers dan kerman takes a closer look. Hospitals in new york are overwhelmed in the number of infections is more than 10 times what it is in california. So what does the future hold here right now im relatively it encouraged relative to new rk. Medical experts believe california will fare better than new york because Public Health directors and the governor moved quicker to keep people apart were not seeing the the patients as they are seeing in new york and i think is likely going to wreck has a direct relationship to us socially distancing ourselves at an earlier point in time and been wanting. That the rise in the mber sick individuals. And medical experts say days matter and the timing, especially in the bay area was critical. All you need to be thinking here help officers that they issued this order on the evening. Before Saint Patricks day because that would have been a huge potentially huge amplifying it that a lot of tnsmission. Doctors say before there is any let up of the stay at home order. Testing must expand and alth experts must be convinced that infection rates are going down menu when you pull that trigger, its got to be guided by medical very strong Critical Evidence and what isnt just reignite. The whole interaction process. Medical experts say still too early to say exactly when that time to ease up for calm, they say possibly in the next month, maybe in 2 nths, but they say its very unlikely that should happen in the next week or 2. That ucsf in San Francisco. Dan kerman kron 4 news yes, you can hear all the medical experts saying that weve got to stay aggressive. To stay on top of this and we are waiting right now for the governor of new york is speaking live this morning just started were monitoring that were going to go live to that as soon as possible. The mayor of new york city has already said they think theyre going to be in lockdown and to be prepared to be in lockdown there until the end of may. And things are getting stcter here in the bay area today, the east Bay Regional Park District is going to be closing paing areas and parking lots and picnic areas tory to stop people from cong from far away and enjoying the rk, heres vieo of Point Isabelle park earlier this week. People enjoying out walking the dogs and getting some exercise and you can still do that by foot you can go to point by foot but theres no going to the parking the pick thinkers are close yo wont stay as long asthe restrooms are off limits. Fountains are off playgrounds are closed. And theye going to keep it that way at least through april 30th. Weve also got word that the School Closures are now extending and Catholic Schools have just added that and the oakland schools and catholic the Catholic Schools in oakland, said theyre not going to open anytime soon right now they see the closure lasting through may 1st and that comes after 6 bay area counties and their districts announced the same that theyregoing to be closed at least until ma1st and that goes for alameda contra costa moran, San Francisco, san mateo and santa cra and remember and can alwaysgo beyond that the governor told us all along to be ready to we may not see the kids back in session for us to hear all those schools doing deep cleang because the out can last on surfaces for quite a while scientists releasing new details this morning exactly how long. They can survive and stay infectious thats the key term Mandy Gaither explains. Its a vicious virus that spreads easily in a recent study shows the virus that causes covid 19 can survive on surfaces for hours even days. The results published in th new england journal of medicine say that covid 19 can hang out as remain in the air for up to 3 hours. The study found that the Novel Coronavirus can survive after 4 hours on copper up to 24 hours on cardboard and 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel, the centers for Disease Control and prevention continue to recommend the cleaning of frequently touched surfaces and objts every day including counters table tops door knobs bathroom fixtures toilets, phones keyboards tablets d bedside bles. If the services are dirty clean them first with deterge and water then disinfect them. The cdc recommends diluted bleach solutions 5 tablespoonof bleach per gallon of water and Alcohol Solutions witat least 70 alcohol. The agency says most household cleaners or disinfectants registered ith the Environmental Protection agency should be effective too for todays health minute. Im Mandy Gaither. Anget the new york governor speaking about the problem which is the epicenter as we know e United States right now ill break that they were impossible. But we are now doing the impossible as you know wel here with what you did over the past week. Well hospitals have to increase their capacity by 50 . Asking hospitals to try to increase their capacity. 100 . Because we need that many beds. Were also looking at converting dorms were looking at converting hotels weve been gathering equipment from everywhere we ca pp equipment the most important piece of equipment for us f ventilators and was shopping literally around the globe to put on put it all in place. Were creating a stockpile of this equipment. So that when can deploy equipment from the stockpile to whatever region the state or whatever hospital needs it. So we feel like that we hold it as a hospital needs it a regio needs it then we deploy it. The n 95 masks surgical masks examination gloves, the protective gowns coralls and most importantly the ventilators why ventilators because this is a respiratory illness. People need ventilators who come in for acute care. And the people are on ventilators much longer than most patients are on ventilators most people are on a ventilator for 2, 3, 4, days. These vid patients can come and need a ventilator for up to 20 days. So you see why that need for ventilators is so important and again all of this is. To make sure were ready that was really interesting about the Covid Patients on ventilators for that long fast sa that as many of us didnt know yeah up until this point so obviously the need desperate there as it is here in california, we know governor Gavin Newsoms also been. Working to try and secure. Resources and supplies from all over the country and around e world as well for california patients our coverage will always be there for you online at kron 4 dot m. Just to look into the news tab there the front pa a 45 live from home this morning as many of you are as well probabmy starting to plan t your work day and we are going to be looking at a nice weekend ahead of us, but it can begin to stay indoors, especially tomorrow as we do see some showers just around the corner today though a nice break from the rainfall if you are in the east bay worried for the north bay saw a brief period of thunderstorms building this morning. Youre already looking at some Clear Conditions berkeley, nice and bright right now thats something were going to hold on to more than we did yesterday through much of the day today right now temperatures are on the rise morgan hill Still Holding out work your way out of the 30s into the 40s now salmon opener for spots back into the 50s well in napa even rising significantly these past fe minutes ago the 31 degrees this morning now youre back at 40 degrees. So temperatures are climbing under these Clear Conditions we are going to be looking at prost advisories for much longer as temperatures begin to rise now only in effect for out another 10 minutes but we did see some frosty conditions thimorning for much the north bay skies will remain drier today than yesterday and tomorrow will be as well so today, a better chance to maybe get a couple of errands done and there are things you need to get done. And also just going to be a nicer day that walk as tomorrow were going to clud cover increasing temperatures a bit cooler and also a better chance of showers is a hours push in across the bay area, especially saturday afternoon with the potential of some isolated thunderstorms building in those yellow spots that youre seeing on radar as we work our way into sunday showers to start the day but generally clearing skies later on so sunday afternoon will be a better one for that walk then sunday morning well as far as temperatures go. Well later today going to be better temperatures watch that what youre saying this morning will be in upper 50s to low 60s for your daytime highs over yward in redwood city egypt to 59 well, the bottom of the at 6degrees santa rosa nap an antioch or warmer spots egypt to 62 degrees you had in your next 7 days shows temperatures tomorrow a little cooler showers work their way back in just a little bit on saturday and then into sunday morning after that the score cast is really trying out daytime highs rise back into the 60s and by tuesday, the 70s so we do have a warmup ahead of us and were going to want like spring come the middle of next week thats your forecast all send it back to the studio thanks john and john and everybody else going to be home for a lot longer we look to new york which is the a packs of the outbreak in the u s. California is second to new york and infections. And the governor has been speaking about the a packs he thinks not getting hit there for another 21 days, lets listen in to Governor Cuomo now as he continues his press conference the outcome is usually. Not good. So were seeing a significant increase in deaths because the length of time people are on the ventilator. Is increasing. And the more it increases theigher the level of deaths will increase. And again we expect that they continue to increase its its bad news. Its tragic news, its the worst news. But it is not unexpected news you can talk to any Health Care Professional tell you. About if youre talking about a loved one if theyre not off that ventilator in relatively short period of time. Its not a good sign. Overall 44,000 people have tested positive 6,000 currently hospitalized 1500 in intensive care units thats up 290. Those are the people who need ventilators 2000 patients have been discharged thats up 528 so there are people coming into the hospital. Getting treatment and leaving the hospital. Most people who get the virus will never even going to the hospital in the first case right. So we have to keep this in focus. 80 of the people who get the virus. What they call self your feel ill. Maybe you wont feel you think you have the flu. And yourself result, 80 of the people. 20 , well go into a hospital. Some of them will get shortterm treatment and then they go home. A very small percent and they tend to be older people more Vulnerable People people with an underlying illness. This respiratory illness compounds the problem they have. They had a compromised immune system. They were fighting emphysema. They were battling cancer. And on top of that they now get pneumonia which is what this corona viruses. Thats the population that is most vulnerable. They then go on to a ventilator. Some the percentage get off quickly some percentage dont get off the longer theyre on the gher the mortality rate. The new york. Is still by far the most affected. Stay. Both in terms of number of cases and in terms of number of deaths. Why because we welcome people here from all over the globe. So travelers came here people from korea team here people who are traveling around the country d stop in china and stop the south korean stopped in italy came here. And cause we are a very dense environment. Social distancing. Stay 6 feet away. Thats hard in new york city right walk down the sidewalk and tell me that you can stay 6 feet away from someone. Was so dense with some together which is what makes us special gives us that new york energy. This that new york mojo. Also that density becomes the enemy in a situation like this. This is the total number of people who have been hospitalized. Weve been watching these numbers every day. We are now compiling the numbers i think whats a smarter way before we were getting individual patient data. Every hospital how to tell us about each individual patient. What their address was where they came from what the young the lying on this was an ad put all that information together. Which was very labor intensive.
