They now to that breaking news happening in San Francisco, a woman and a dog have died in a car crash which also her 2 other people, San Francisco police say preliminary information shows a silver nissan suv drove through a fence at 25th and dakota streets and then down a hill, the crash killed a woman and a dog one other woman and a man were taken to the hospital this all unfolding about 00 20pm tonight initially it was thought that the car may have somehow fallen off the freeway, it turns out that was not the case. However police say the investigation is active and right now they do not know exactly what caused the crash. Local Immigration Attorneys are reacting tonight to the president s plan for a new immigration some think its a smart move for the country during the pandemic others say they think the president is using the to push an anti immigrant agenda. Either way the announcement is brought up a lot of questions scrum for small bellow joins us now live with more and noel you talk bay area turning about this well is that persons 10. And the president says the new ban is to help protect American Workers ensuring that any Jobs Available go to us citizens first, but not many are really buying that reason until an executive order is actually signed it leaves many in a waiting period now according to San Francisco based immigration lawyer elias shim a a the understanding is this ban would prevent people from coming to the u. S. As lawful immigrants, those whose families have petitioned for them to come to the states legally in addition she may have believes the ban would also affect those who are already in the u. S. And in the process of applying and receiving permanent residency in the form of a green card that application process would be placed on further hold under this span right now its not believe that the government would take drastic measures as to send immigrants back to their countries but nothing is set in stone right now she says to cite the current workforce situation as a reason for all of this doesnt really add up. I think hes using this the time of the coronavirus and the and the epidemic that has been as a means. To change the conversation and the attention that the administration had paid to the coronavirus and using a scapegoat unrepresented. Immigrants that are always used as scapegoats if you remember pride to the issue we had the lowest unemployment in the country and hopefully will issue is resolved and employment people back to the lowest level that it has been. And therefore there will not be a shortage of qualified employees to something so silly the wired employment needs all the business several so therefore the idea of limiting the immigrant population from petitioning their families to join them is not a reason to go through this method because people have to shore to show all employees. Now this ban would be temporary according to the president lasting only 60 days but she man is worried it could be extended for a longer period of time as advice right now to those who are looking to do a green card not work do not worry right now, but if it does get extended, people looking to make america their permanent residents through a green card.

The amount of debt that were adding. To our country. And the future impact of that. States workout safe ways to reopen new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he had a productive meeting with President Trump at the white house with testing at the current war, we agree that a State Government.

Oakland mayor libby shaft and other Alameda County officials setting up a task force to try and address the impact that the coronavirus is having on communities of color, the goal of the task force is to eliminate injustices involving the Racial Health disparities by providing more healthily sources including things like healthy food and exercise option. This task force comes as new data is being released on the Racial Disparities the virus is having on certain communities yesterday, San Francisco, Public Health officials released a map that breaks down confirmed cases by zip code we showed you this last night. The hardest hit areas in the city include the Mission District and the south of market areas, the city also released a breakdown of cases by race of the total cases, 22 are latin next 18 are white 13 are asian 6 .

And intensive care trauma surgeon at San Francisco General Hospital doctor thank you for being with Health Disparities among of lower income and of communities of color is not new. So what surprises you upset shoe um what if you take a particular concern of the fact that youre finding the same disparities when it comes to communities of color involving covid19. So think your family this evening. I just want to say a couple things to throw in a scissor. African americans are twice as likely across the United States to be affected by this time theyre not going to fire comey and mortality rate is twice as much or more on the African American Community Service is going to sort of 8 or we have a higher percentage of what makes our patients who have been affected by that but in cities like chicago. In new york city louisiana and new orleans and also in milwaukee, its some of the numbers are its a outstandingly just really is hard to fathom. The numbers in the water, your 25 of the population after american. And upwards of 60 of the deaths are in African American patients are this is a very serious problem its really important that we basically sure this information to the public so that we can protect people as as we go forward doctor there theres speculation that theres a lot more people many more people are infected then we know about because we only know about the hospitalizations theres no widespread testing. So how bad you think it is and how do we address this problem. Well i think that instead of people packed the testing testing testing testing so we need to know the general population beautiful moderators asked from the slot that youve heard about fermented matters what the u. S. Is. There are some studies that have come out from usc from stanford that is speculating and its down primary that the is this a virus maybe some are about 40 or 50 times what were seeing right now in california the numbers are those matters and other places but it still is for 35,000 infections. Roughly 1000 thats any death is one bad, but that pales in comparison to whats happening in new york. 250,000 cases where up with a number of deaths that in the order of 20,000 or so so its really quite a lot. I as you know Governor Newsom is saying were going to take a go slow approach other states are already considering opening up. Theres kind of a patchwork. You know how this is being handled across the u. S. What concerns us in relationship to that. Those are saying is that if we do not do things you know organized fashion. So im glad to protest what will happen is well have these pop up and put them extent happen based on the different areas across united since but say it for example, george or or another state that there were briefings of texas, a member of the beaches in florida if you open the app is only epidemics associated with that what really scares me is that the people were protesting now open up the country will get the infection and may die from there are people who are dying from this terrible problem, this is a very serious problem and that we do not take it seriously what to watch here is a social distance a stay at home doing these things we dont open it up in a gradual way based on testing use both in the students lives for the actual virus and also anybody test which urban and develops we need to do that we need to be testing upwards of 2 to 3 times the amount of people were testing right now some people estimate we should have some of the 500,000 and a million tests right now we have a 11560,000 test across the United States were not testing enough so we can know what the truest sense of the infections doctor real quick i i know youre a trauma surgeon at sf general one of the busiest trauma hospitals in california if not the country. How are you guys holding up and what anecdotally are hearing from other hospitals around the bay area, how is everybody doing with supplies. And case loads and and work in all of that how as a medical community in the Bay Area Holding up during this pandemic. Well i think we we weve been fortunate that weve had we think we flatten the curve so music brought down the numbers of infections now you know we all struggle with things like we have scheuer my personal experiences, ive had been a few be but im doing things that i have not done before purse, are using its own to make sure i would but it was going to take your patients and make sure that i report in order to do that but we need to make sure that everybody is equipped my friends around the country do not have enough personal protective equipment and as a result of that the they may be getting exposed in fact i think you know that doctors nurses for starters. Our First Responders are actually dying theres no policeman are dying from a sunset he shook this is quite serious person that i can recruitment is the key making sure we have enough in a large enough quantities than ever is really important. A doctor of course one big concern and this is we dont have a lot of time but i do want to ask you about the Homeless Population, not just here in the bay area but across the nation. This is an issue that of that medical professionals are concerned about once its routes in the Homeless Community that it could spread like wildfire are you satisfied with the steps being taken so far here in the bay area. But weve taken several steps summer in terms of testing but we are very worried and you you know about this because reporters in a home which a voter in 4 in San Francisco. We have 77 cases we are very worried about that because the things that we tell the general population the hand washing to socialdistancing center to help they cannot do that so that theres been some intervention done by the city and county of San Francisco for getting home terms for people to be in so they can basically do the things that other people can do but this is something that worries us the Homeless Population Nursing Homes is a former populations that the virus and weve been fortunate so far too to help flatten the curve but if we do not practice what we continue to news this fight again because it will go back up the genres we do not want to have happen. We dont want to have. Chances for being like italy like new york city and other cities that have struggled. And much more with that regret that you know 200 cases here in san in terms of folks who have or we average probably about 20 to 30 p wise patients are investigations and we a number of people on our students is public radio that that is readily available so what were trying to do is keep that number down so his Medical Center the hospital do not get around like in new york, my friends were in europe western hospital, they have 200 intubation place and a better place they havent lost 1000 covert positive patients, this is where we could have had here if we did not make that is the intervention is done by the governor the mayor Public Health officials who heroes and this whole. Period of time is far in my estimation, dandre doctor Andre Campbell from ucsf and San Francisco General Hospital i think i speak for a lot of people across the bay area when i say thank you. For the work youre doing and for all the Health Care Professionals in the bay area who are keeping us all safe, thanks again for your time we really appreciate it thank you. Some parts.
