Mean thats good. 100 did people within a short period of time. This is going to be a rough 2 week period. As a nation. We face a difficult few weeks. Its so bring a number as that is we should be prepared for it. Is it going to be that much. I hope not and i think the more we push on the mitigation the less likelihood would be that number but as being realistic. We need to prepare ourselves that that is a possibility that that serve no magic bullet. Theres no magic vaccine or therapy. This just behaviors. Each of our behaviors translating into something that changes. The course of this viral pandemic. Thats the Coronavirus Task force and the president james as they are saying if everybody continues doing what were all doing through the end of may. Those are the low numbers, a 100 to 200,000 americans dying yeah that was a best Case Scenario as you mentioned if everybody did what they were supposed to do. We always talk about flattening the curve thats the death toll. If we flatten the curve effectively can you only imagine what it would be if we didnt and people continue to be out in public not recognize the social distancing the death toll could be magnet require much higher and there are dont forget 20 states right now that dont had statewide orders like we do here in california and the president actually praised us for our efforts in california the bay area what were doing to flatten the curve. But governor newsome is declaring victory hes getting ready for the worse yeah, in fact, hes scrambling to convert certain resources into lets say hospitals fact we have from fours will tran standing by out of the Santa Clara Convention center where theyve done exactly that. With the facility behind you will. Let me pick it back on what you said james not only are we flattening the curve the reason why we are doing that is to not overrun the hospitals but even then they know the hospitals more than likely will be overwhelmed, which is why locations like the Santa Clara Convention center as face it its Perfect Timing for tourists to come in to have conventions pumped millions of dollars into the economy but that wont happen because this for all intent and purposes is now a hospital let me show you video i have evidence to prove it because on friday. The National Guard came in spent 12 hours at this location, they set up 250 cots inside the 250,000 square foot location. Theres no need to social distance because the people who will be here have already tested positive for coronavirus so they just going to be watts for 14 to 21 days to see how they recover and they wont be allowed to walk around society to infect other people they will staffed with nurses and doctors, however they will not have ventilators because those ventilators will remain at the hospitals for the more critical patients. This is to help ease the load on the Hospital System and james darya even with the shelter in place. Governor newsome expects the hospitals to be overrun which is why last week we did a story about him turning dormitory rooms possibly into hospital beds as well they will continue to get this place ready to go and they say it should be up and running and turn into a hospital a makeshift hospital as early as next week. James story of how an amazing effort behind you thank you for the update will doing it everywhere. In San Mateo County to theyre trying to cover the county event center and to a hospital and thats what the National Guard was doing setting up cots over the weekend putting in medical equipment and now its already and it will be used to free up other hospitals when there is a surge in coronavirus cases. We should also point out too that we should also point out too that theres this story coming to us from the south pacific. Captain of an Aircraft Carrier pleading for help captain brent crews are is actually from santa rosa. He says hes now finally getting help after he pleaded with the military to allow crew members who were sick with coronavirus to get off the ship into quarantine didnt want the entire crew to be exposed. So uss Theodore Roosevelt you see a picture of it there. Its currently docked in guam and capture cruiser wrote in the letter to the navy in his pleading for help to the coronavirus had sickened up to that point about a 100 of the sailors and in that letter he said quote we are not at war and sailors do not need to die if we do not act now were failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset. Our sailors and when he went on to say any cited the princess thathat ip the cruise ship president about the same number of people on board and what they do. They dot and they got him off the island to hotels and in guam there just isnt the they dont have the infrastructure, so theyre trying to scramble to figure out, but they are since his big appeal. They are finding where theyre going to put him whether be jims at a high school hotels, whatever they can do were going to wait and see against like you said theyre on a hospital bed so. Well see what they come up with the police now the ball is starting to roll and theyre starting to get those at least the sickest on that Aircraft Carrier off. So they can get help assist us. Karen. All right. We have our kids, yes, california schools in a all parents been kind of waiting to see what the word is going to be our kids going go back to school at some point before the end of the school year. Well looks like thats beginning to dwindle in terms of any hope for th happening. This is according to a letter sent by state superintendentony sermon. He said in that quote it currently appears that our students will not be able to return to School Campuses befe the end of the school year. He did make it a complete definitive statement but he says he doesnt look likely. He says school doesnt necessarily mean it has to be over. Hes really encouraging teachers to trying to live or education through Distance Learning he says that the state department and is trying to provide resources to make that happen like weapon, ours and training, so well see its going to be a school by School Teacher by teacher basis. I think. The victims are buried that are dying on to this disease, a Santa Rosa Police officer just died from it. The Santa Rosa Police chief announced that detective marilou armor died of coronavirus she was a member of the force for 20 years. One of 4. Santa Rosa Police Department employees who tested positive for coronavirus. We are now more than 2300 confirmed cases.

So far that has not reported a death one death in napa with just 15 positives you can see the limited testing that we are doing the bay area has extended the shelterinplace order as you know its sunday may 3rd now and then could move on from there. And there are new guidelines for social distancing kron fours rob fladeboe has more. We now know that people who do not show symptoms or who show only very mild symptoms can still spread the virus to others. So continuing to stay physically separate to stay in small stable groups and to mix with each other only when necessary is vitally important the new order includes mandatory social distancing and grocery stes and otr essential businesses which will be required to post notices about howhat will work in each case. The goal is to further reduce the number of contacts people are having said Santa Clara CountyCouncil James williams. This will help ensure that even those places that do need to remain open arent hearing too careful guidelines and thoughtful guidelines specific to their own facility to ensure maximize social distancing. Most construction must now be halted as well also offlimits Going Forward our playgrods dog parks, public picnic areas and other shared recreational spaces we have some early indications, though that the actions we have collectively taken are beginning to slow the spread. The sacrifices that everyone has made has made have given our hospitals. Valuable time to prepare for the expected influx of patients. However more time and additional restrictions are needed to slow the spread and to further reduce the impact on our local hospitals s in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news.

So theyre condensing it all down to just be a we still got the bans in effect for u k mexico you really cant go anywhere. They can come here and its too bad too because theres no fog delays flights so its perfect weather for yeah and thats what we want to talk about is the perfect weather brings people out and dont be a cool video. And go out there and walk in groups and gather together and everything john. Exactly how these nice days is the most tempting to be covidiot for sure, but you just got to see practice and that social distancing of looking out there and not sausalito right now just a Beautiful Day and that the goalkeeper chiswell sitting under a lot of sunshine this morning so much social distance do get out their walk the dog still search or legs but by just not crowded spot for glee internet but temperatures in the 40s and 50s right now with the Oakland Alameda san mateo are for spots back in the 50s well see how we are Still Holding on to the upper 30s now are you also going to 30s earlier this morning skies, nice and clear you can see that your web cam views and up the goal of which they would have been i said why its been arriving in going as planned, but i thats just the way it we are going to see some spots of baga times right along the coast tonight but overall during daytime hours, its just a lot of sunshine to enjoy to our west though the storm system is going to gradually work its way our direction come the weekend see that green sitting offshore gradually moving in towards saturday. Well that is also going to come along with the push of cool air. So a rainy and cool weekend. Thats going to push a lot of us back inside. So we should see a lot less crowds over the weekend and thats just going to make social distancing all that much easier and of course we do ed th rain wead a super dry february couple months ago now its april now thats crazy bizarr30 pm on saturday rainfall really having settled in sundays still seeing some showers and the but they holding up some rain in the bay area with snow in the Sierra Nevada its exactly what we need to see and like i mention probably going to keep the crowds pretty a pretty down across the bay Area Temperatures in the 50s of the coast today will 60s inland now today is going to be a nice stay so that will likely anti semitic it outside.

Washington correspondent kelli meyer explains. Is called hospitals without walls, they could use a College Dormitory they could use a gymnasium a new program creating room for critical coronavirus cases while continuing to give an infected patients the care they need and allows hospitals to provide servicesff site centers for medicare and Medicaid Services administrator seema verma says the agency is changing the rules to pay for patients treatment outside of hospitals and clinics fema is already helping expand hospital space in states across the country. Us as this initiative adds to the work they have done and allows more involvement on the local level we want to do is empower local communities to start thinking about this and to use the resources that they already have in their community the sienna swimmers will allow hospitals to transfer an infected patients to these sites making room for those testing positive for the coronavirus as far as filling these new spaces with supplies. Berman says they want to make sure Health Care Workers have the tools ey need to save lives team has set a very special for some people that are working to find supplies and then weve also seen a great response from the private sector in the united states. I think were hearing every day about companies that are stepping forward to prode ventilators we heard that from ge from us as new efforts are being made every day at the agency to take care of americans during this pandemic reporting in washington, im kelly meyer. When you hear more than a 100,000 americans are going to die of covid19 in a matter of weeks. Thats scary. Thats how many soldiers died in world war one and that lasted years. This is all happening right now the coronavirus is killing grandparents, middle age men and women and kids and these doctors and nurses there on the front lines this is the staff at this hospital in new york, they feel like they in a war zone with patients lining the hallways people dying alone in rooms health care rkers. They are not equipped literally they dont have the equipmet they need and are we equipped to deal with this anymore does regular people i did everything i would see this in my life time here to talk about what this can do to your mind a stress management expert, us a professor doctor ruth white good morning doctor white. Good morning. I i was doing ok, i mean i think we all kind of hit this point where suddenly we go why and for me it was looking at the hospital and hearing these stories and we can show you again just that state of this hospital in new york and what theyre describing theyre going through as we heard yesterday ith the president i think he had just been informed of how bait was talking about the hundreds of thousands of people that are going to die. I feel like we all kind of need to get into a war mentality or what kind of a mental state you have to be in when you hear that theyve got truck a refrigerator truck outside his hospital for bodies. Its just surreal. Yes, it is and i think its its really ramping up the fear now that it is on our soils and i were on our shores and im trying put it in context because again most of us have never experienced anything like you would have to go by you know 2 things like polio in the 1950s and people have talked about aids. But its aids was contained in certain communities which made it less scary for some people but i think the hard part is the fear you know and when we hear these kind of information and again i you know i have a sister whos always like you know, its put posting things about because she was in new jersey and works in new york city and so its been really hard deer and all of us are hearing of people that we know now where covid19 i know several people who have members of my family have had it and so i think its getting personal forverydy and so the fear is now it was always real, but now its it might be my family. Well it is it is your family tell me i i just hearing about this for the first time have you talked to them and are they ok. Yeah, one of my cousins in in england is im taking care of his wife and hes got 4 girls well to story and hes got a wife to take care of my best friend, both parents have and his mom a hospital in king county in the seattle area and so i think everybody is feeling, you know what happened what will happen to my loved because of course the unique situation now is that you cant go to the hospital and hold this persons hand people are dying alone and then when the team die, youre not allowed to have funerals youre not allowed to have memorials and i think definitely makes it different from even wore when you were able to at least come together celebrate a live morning, your morning or last together and so doing it alone is going to make people more at risk for things like depression because the usual social support are not going to be there and heres another thing and as you mentioned this the youve got up for example. One person in the marriage has got coronavirus they have kids. They could all get it and and and and i heard that couples more than ever are going and getting their wills and order and figuring out who would care for our kids if we were both to go into the hospital or worse yet god forbid both to die. That is a a crazy thing to face. Yes and and i think thats one of the things to trying to right now when people are feeling ouch were feeling out of control right we just dont know whats going to happen from day to day we dont know whos going to have it and so i think one of the things thats good for people to think about is to plan you know to plan at a time when youre not in that moment, so again going back to finances for example how do you how are you going manage that theres a loss of in cow or how are you going to manage it if this person is in the hospital and theyre the primary caretaker of children and people are saying he shouldnt travel so mom is a single mom for example and she has children then he was going to take care of her kids if she gets sick, you know can her mother fly across the country are family nearby and who wants to expose themselves if you know somebody is mother died of cold and 19 and then you are assuming that the children and other family members are exposed. So these are some really challenging questions because even in the area labor and delivery theres been a movement to get signatures to say got a mother shouldnt have to be without a partner when theyre deliver her baby but think about also when somebody is dying and dying alone and you know that this person is dying alone across the country and you cant go. I think thats whats going to really its people his last without being able to somehow say goodbye to people its an incredible thing that i never thought im sure you did that would have to deal with i i wish your family the best i hope theyre okay. I will continue to talk here on kron 4 morning news. I appreciate you being our expert and trying to help people through this doctor, thanks a lot.

They believe there will be some very serious consideration about more broadening this recommendation of using mass were not there yet, but i think were close to coming to some determination. Barry infectiousdisease specialists say the only advantage of wearing a mask would be to prevent giving the virus to someone else especially if you dont know you have it. The idea pa years to cut down transmission. Why everybody assuming that theyre infected and theyre not going to affect someone else.
