Difference in death rates between the 2 will shock you tonight, San Francisco has recorded 99 covid related deaths while new york city has recorded close to 24,000 covid related deaths. Earlier this evening. I talked with doctor bob wachter chair of the department of medicine over at ucs us who says the 2 main reasons for our lower numbers is good leadership and good citizenship. Doctor wachter says people have been diligent about Wearing Masks for the most part he also says that shutting down the city as early as we did prevented our Hospital System from becoming has overwhelmed as new yorks was. But it is important to remember that its not this is not the time to become complacent and let your guard down doctor wachter says despite the lower numbers in San Francisco, we could still see a spike. So theres nothing about the virus that has changed from march to now it is every bit as capable of causing infections, your chances of dying if you get the virus is a little bit lower now than it was in march because weve come up with some treatments that work moderately well theyre not super. Well but otherwise the virus is still looking to get into the back of your nose and the back of your throat and if we did get a chance to do that it will do it and we will start seeing more cases and more this year. That doctor wachter says we still have about another 9 to 12 months left of this pandemic so staying vigilant and continuing to comply with the Health Orders that are in place is critical. Live in the newsroom. Sanaz tahernia kron 4 news thanks in a u. S. Well the city of louisville, kentucky is bracing for a decision in the briana taylors case when ever it might come down the states attorney general is expected to make an announcement on whether he will charge the Police Officers involved in taylors shooting death.

Bryant filed a lawsuit claiming the deputy shared unauthorized pictures of the crash that killed her husband says their 13 yearold daughter and 7 others. Sheriff alex avila nueva previously said he told the 8 deputies who took the pictures to delete them. The department has a policy against taking and sharing crime scene photos. But it does not apply to accident scenes. The lawsuit alleges the sheriffs actions constituted a coverup of the misconduct. Also in Southern California the bobcat fire is now one of the largest wildfires in Los Angeles County history. That blaze has burned more than 109,000 acres it is 17 contained tonight. More than 1100 homes have been evacuated on monday the fire threatened the famous mount wilson observatory. From wildfires on the west coast of flooding in texas, Tropical Storm beta has now weakened to a tropical depression. But its pretty much parked itself over the texas coast and this is raising concerns of extensive flooding in houston. Areas farther inland beta is expected eventually move over into louisiana and arkansas and mississippi. Later in the week, heres a radar picture right now to show you where Tropical Storm beta is located and you see the red area signifying the Flood Warning areas in the houston and moving toward the east along the its still active out there so for the very latest lawrence is standing by large you guys in and around the houston area, the suburbs there. Theyve seen upwards of 14 inches of rain already long way to go this is an extremely slow moving tropical system known never became a hurricane as it moved on shore just a Tropical Storm but its moving so slowly. Its got abundant amounts of moisture and it continues to poll a lot of that moisture right back off the gulf and the plaza and in texas you can see the heavy rain band now moving through the houston areas can mention youve Flood Warnings up flash flood watches extending all the way into louisiana. And parts of alabama mississippi as well as the storm system going to take its time making its way eastward. Sustained winds of 30 miles an hour. So tropical depression. Its moving only 5 Miles Per Hour to the east northeast. So it is just going to be slowly dragging along and during that whole period, it is pulling up all that moisture out of the gulf of mexico depositing in right along the coastal areas and thats going to see another 4 maybe 8 inches of rain right along this line going to see more flooding more flash flooding along that area.
