All right so future cast for running through watch the clear patch comes in not bad but still to the south and up in the north bay by 8 oclock you can see regeneration of some showers and again an isolated thundershower thrown in there for good measure.

Well, the leaders of operation warp speed are confident that they will have developed a vaccine and read produced enough of it to deliver hundreds of millions of doses by the end of the year. Yeah, but theres another issue that theyre going to have to deal with and that is will be enough needles and syringes to go around. Drew griffin has that story. If the vaccine for covid19 were to come today. There would be no way for all of us to get it there are just not enough needles and syringes. I dont want to be in a situation where we cant deliver those doses because we dont have syringes and we dont have needles and we dont have the basic supplies. To deliver that many doses of the vaccine sometime Michigan Democratic senator gary peters first sounded the alarm last year the pandemic only heightened his years and last week he sent a letter to Vice President mike pence and hhs secretary alex azar. Urging the federal government to take immediate steps to ensure america is prepared to administer a coronavirus vaccine. Time is not on our side we need to get this done as quickly as possible. In a similar warning a whistleblower complaint by rick bright the demoted director of a key federal Research Agency developing vaccines said his warnings about the shortage of needles and syringes had been ignored and that the u. S. Needs between 650 million 850 million needles and syringes. Bright may have been pushed aside. But in testimony before congress this week right suggested someone in the federal government may have been listening protect. I learned that they place an order the first order for needles and syringes on may first and where the amounts at a clip. I believe that the u. S. For 320 million needles and syringes. In could you please describe the situation if every american does not have access to the vaccine due to a supply shortage. And the that situation be catastrophic honestly the decisions have not been made yet. Whod of action a firsthand identify those individuals and and how stretch those limited supplies appropriately. 3 contracts for Vaccine Supplies awarded in the past few weeks totaling nearly million. The largest by the department of defense for the u. S. Based production of a 100 million prefilled syringes by year in 2020 with the ultimate production goal of over 500 million prefilled syringes in 2021. Sean powell in charge of Disaster Response for one of the countrys largest medical Logistics Companies says it all adds up 2 enough. Makes it sound like unlike ppe. Were going to be in a much better position. We learned a lot of valuable lessons through covid with ppe and was that we are preparing for the worst or the vaccination in being able to administer the full population should that comes with one big caveat. The unknown. So we have something that is approved by a particular. Supplier manufacturing firms to space can be very challenging for us the to be or or or potential shortages on biles on syringes and needles if estimates are correct if the contracts fulfill. The u. S. Could have the supplies needed to inoculate the population when and if a covid19 vaccine is approved. Drew griffin cnn atlanta.

Humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Humira is proven to help stop further joint damage. Want more proof . Ask your rheumatologist about humira citratefree.

And new this morning governor, newsome is addressing the Economic Impact that california stay at home order has had on the economy here. He says despite the difficulties the state made the right decision. 2 issued a stay at home order. Look i deeply understand that the stress and anxiety that people have that entire dreams have been torn asunder. Because of the shutdowns and their savings counts depleted in the Credit Ratings destroyed and so deeply empathetic to that and deeply understanding of where that anxiety next comes from but with all the information we had at the time it wasnt just democrats and republicans. It was universal that people felt we needed to meet the moment head on and do the one thing that non pharmaceutical we can do. And that was physically distance from one another practice, social distancing. Well the governor also said the coronavirus pandemic is directly responsible for californias deficit. Of now more than billion. The coronavirus pandemic could drive homelessness across the country up by 40 by the end of the year thats according to some experts and the situation is forcing cities across the country, including right here in San Francisco to make some very tough decisions. Dan simon has more. As the nation battles one prices about another is getting worse. This is San Francisco directly across the street from city hall, a large homeless encampment. And nearby in the troubled tenderloin a growing despair on these impoverished streets. City Officials Say theres been nearly a 300 rise in the amount of tense since january. The city shelters had to be thinned out to prevent the spread of the virus its biggest shelter had more than a 100 people test positive. The shelters its a petri dish for when theyre when people are so close together when the beds are like 3 feet apart, its not safe in los angeles a series of outbreaks on skid row has led to a frantic effort to test as many Homeless People as possible. At least 234 testing positive Officials Say. And in new york hundreds of homeless have been removed from the subways for nightly cleaning. If Homeless People on trains. Its not even safe for the Homeless People to be on trains. No face masks, homeless advocates say the coronavirus pandemic is forcing cities to make difficult choices. In San Francisco following cdc guidance that it can and should not be cleared. The city is allowing them to sprout, but trying to make them safer. That big camp and now being called a safe sleeping village with the 10 spread out behind a chainlink fence to allow for social distancing and the city like new york and la has secured hotel rooms for the homeless, a 1000 of them. But well below its original goal of 7,000. Things right now are kind of a roller coaster of a roller coaster on fire is somebody whos worked in this industry for a long time, i mean what are things like for you. Its challenging its heartbreaking to see so many people suffering on the streets. And its heartbreaking to see the years of work feel like its going backwards Jeff Kaczynski is tasked with managing the citys covid19 response for the more than 5,000 homeless who sleep on San Francisco streets, were providing food. Theyve set up, you know many new pit stops in the tunnel line weve in washington stations but residents and Business Owners more frustrated than ever with the piles of drug needles. And human waste. Hastings law school is among the plaintiffs to file a federal lawsuit against the city demanding it do more to clean up the streets calling the tenderloin a horror show its unsafe its and sent kerry. In whatever is going on here its inhumane. Be agi showed us the back of his auto repair shop, homeless are occupying the alley and tapping in the city power. Its like you know you come to work and you want to focus on what youre here for. And then you have all this season is going on. Dan simon cnn, San Francisco.

Staff and faculty state to seek the community. Each part of california is unique and distinctive eat region eat region of the United States is unique and distinctive in certain conditions will present themselves favorably. Some unfavorably so i think its a its a question that is a difficult one to answer in absolute terms theres new but we are moving forward and hope and expectation that we can start that school year very strategically and methodically.

All right, thank you dave, maintaining social distance could change at least one San Francisco neighborhood. The north Beach Business Association voted unanimously to make more room for pedestrians and shoppers. That means the possible elimination of Street Parking kron fours dan thorn has more on the proposed plan. Owners of tightly packed shops and restaurants and upper grant avenue say they need space to better serve their customers where cars have been lining up along the narrow streets of north beach businesses would like to take over basically what happens is people come here, they parked their cars and they dont use the businesses right now. Merchants Association President dan mock erie nice as by expanding into the parking spots it will allow shops like his more room. It will also allow his customers to move more freely. Mikey iranians hoping the city will take it one step further by closing the street so the area can essentially become a pedestrian promenade partially by taking over those patients we are reasserting. The idea that that for support Small Businesses in the neighborhood once shelterinplace guidelines loosen bars and restaurants will also need more room socialdistancing will be difficult to follow if tables cant be placed outside this is the right thing to do right now to allow businesses to recover. Theyre all on the razors edge and this is our moment to help them out support for the plan has been overwhelming says district 3 supervisor aaron peskin. But some people have expressed their not thrilled with the idea of losing parking pass can says the plan at this point.

For your money this morning if youre thinking about adopting a pet while youre staying at home the Better Business bureau has a warning for you. It says that theres been a recent spike of quarantine puppy scams where people advertise on websites for animals that dont exist or are never shipped. Scammers convince people to provide money up front or they make excuses about why the customer can see the bed in person. Last month for instance, one woman reported losing more than a 1000 in 2 different puppy scams. Their advice of course is do not buy a pet without seen it in person, avoid wiring money using an app or a gift card. Instead they say how about reaching out to a local animal shelter. Police say that the pandemic has led to a troubling new reality, mass criminals are now blending in with everyone else. Police say the man seen on this video here a committed 5 robberies in pennsylvania over 4 days and he blended in with customers waited for them to leave the store and he went out with them. Reports of similar crimes are increasing partly because so many people are wearing masks. Still ahead this morning, baseball may be coming back this summer, but its going to look a lot different compared to what were used to were going to take a look at the medical safety a medical and safety protocols for players coming up.

This morning Governor Newsome was on cnn addressing what life will look like in the fall as states continue to reopen. Specifically the governor was looking at large gatherings such as sporting events or concerts. So when you look for the future you got to paint a picture of those modifications where people are practicing physical distancing or should be where people are putting face coverings on when the otherwise are coming into contact with strangers but the idea of having stadiums filled with 80 plus 1000 people strangers. Coming together across their differences as much as we want to see that happen in the spirit of the pride that comes from people coming together in that respect the Health Consequences could be profound and devastating and set back all the progress weve made so we are moving into that very cautiously working with all the major leagues across the to make sure that were not promoting things or promising things we cant deliver. Well professional sports leagues are currently working to come up with a plan to return to action in fact today nascar. Will return to a race without a crowd. At least well have something were getting a better idea of what baseball might look like if it comes back this summer. The league said the Mlb Players Association a 67 page document friday night outlining health and safety precautions and according to the athletic. It covers a variety of topics, including testing spring training and on phil operations. So heres some of the biggest take away is testing will take place multiple times a week temperature and symptom checks will take place twice a day spring training will be in florida and arizona rosters will be limited to 50 players. Infielders are encourage to stay several steps away from base runners in between pitches and then the players are allowed to spit uc or 5th spot that might be a little tough and players will sit in the stands above their dugout to help with physical distancing. The leak hopes to start spring training next month with opening day in early july, well see how it goes. Coming up next on the kron 00 04am morning news, many states will already be back open when memorial day weekend rolls around how some are using popular areas for a test drive to see how cautious people might be.
