Remain calm throughout the day today with winds remaining very light. Thats the same as yesterday air quality a lot like yesterday, not necessarily ideal were back to moderate conditions for areas like napa concord Oakland Hayward fremont and san jose so not the most Crystal Clear quality weve had but we do have the sunshine comfortable temperatures. All in all its definitely shaping up to be a lot better right now temperatures are in the 40s and 50s for most of us, although we do have or turn to the 30s for a couple spots in the north bay like santa rosa and fairfield each sitting at 39 degrees right now so layer up where the middle of fall now temperatures start to give it cooler especially during the morning hours. Robin thank you john lets update the morning drive because the early birds have to get to work right there already out there so if you want to join these folks do it now because you have a delay free trip into San Francisco are taking a live look at 80. I dont see any problem so nows your chance were at 8 minutes that is quick right on time to make it off to the fremont street exit were off to the Richmond Sandra fell bridge, checking your drive on westbound 5. 80 smoothing out the limit so far few trucks and cars rolling through the pay gates but all is well so far into the north bay at 7 minutes and were also hot spot 92, this is the westbound traffic here drive leaving hayward already congested on the flat section that little crowding started in the 4 oclock hour and its only going to get heavier as we continue through the morning commute was usual. This is the first bridge to start really stacking 12 minutes and growing to make it from the nimitz across the span and off to one o one so thats pretty good drive time well check more coming up in a bit back to you. All right, thank you very much robin time now is 5 02 and our big story this morning. The United States has seen a steady increase in Coronavirus Infections and hospitalizations for the entire month of october so what you have line me here is a map showing where the increases are that weve seen in the past week compared to the week before and you can see by the color that we have 5 states in red those are the states that show again a 50 plus percent increase compared to the week before 35 states are in orange and that includes california. The vast majority the country showing 10 to 50 increase in infections. There are 9 states in yellow those are the states that are Holding Steady right now and then only one state is in green and thats the state of missouri thats actually where numbers are going down only one state in the country. Currently has that trend nearly 80,000 new cases were recorded yesterday pushing the u. S. Total of infections to 8. 8 million. At least 227,000 people have died since february. Were tracking our local numbers to for the bay area and for the state of california you can see where we are on the screen 920,000 plus cases confirmed in california with more than 17,000 deaths. 114,000 cases in the bay area with more than 1700 deaths here locally. Coronavirus outbreak at Ucsf Medical Center the San Francisco hospital is right now Contact Tracing. Its staff after 5 people tested positive for covid kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live at the hospital with the latest. They have they figured out where it started. No actually they said that they it happened in one of their units and they think thats what created a transmission meaning a spread of the coronavirus resulting in at least 5 people testing positive so very intense situation obviously not ideal when you have a small outbreak at a hospital like Ucsf Medical Center, but something that there dealing with they are doing Contact Tracing to figure it all out over the past week to patients who are sharing a room and 3 employees who care for them have tested positive for coronavirus both patients have tested negative have tested negative before being admitted to the hospital however, one unexpectedly tested positive on a routine discharge test so thats concerning now this law this launched an investigation theyve been Contact Tracing and identifying any other cases they have not figured out the original source or the exact sequence of infection. So that is something that they have to figure out to make sure that its not spreading any further. Said theyve isolated these the patients and employees and theyre working to identify and test quarantine anybody available. As you said this is what their statement involved theyre figuring out the original source and theyre making sure that they test in quarantine any individuals making sure that they dont want to allow this to spread any further now at this time needed the patient has symptoms of coronavirus in the employee all employees only have mild symptoms, nobody is you know having a severe case on a respirator but still of great concern because until we find the exact source its going to be of concern you know to make sure that does for any further will say it looks like its business as usual nurses doctors coming in and havent seen many patients well be following up with the Ucsf Medical Center to see what theyre doing right now to kind of isolate this, i know said that theyre isolating the patients and quarantining them but what else are they doing in terms of new patients that are coming in daria big concern that somebody tested negative and then later tested positive so huge concern theyre not at that site, San FranciscoSarah Stinson thats something we all know any time you have to go into the hospital they test you but a test is only a snapshot in time of the bigger concern is. Sara when you have a break in hospital all these people are extra at risk thats why theyre in the hospital, theyre getting surgeries they already have you whatever medical problems they have so to catch coronavirus you know could be deadly for them. And whats scary there isnt a lot of people have been putting surgeries on hold and theyve been making sure you know im gonna do my thing to do whatever i need to get done later because im concerned and this kind of shows you why should be concerned however they also say you shouldnt hold off surgeries or change your life in any way kuz got to get stuff done right daria well, unless its an optional surgery, but yeah if you have to do something for your health youve got to do it now, thanks a lot sara appreciate that live. If you take a look at this Sutter Health has been using what they call electronic intensive care unit. To cut covid times in half cameras and a Computer System checked for vital signs in the hospital rooms and they monitor the patients 24 7 without having Health Care Workers in there and them risking catching covid were you know we as spreading disease. So if they didnt actually. We need to go into that isolation room, they still had a way of communicating and so that saved additional exposure but also the additional use of ppe. With this technology nurses can monitor patients at several disparate different hospital locations. All at once foy in the east bay Health Officials in Alameda County have given middle and high schools, the okay to reopen however Public Schools will probably not reopen their doors any time soon in Person Instruction can begin as early as november 9th if safety plans have been submitted and approved but the safety plan is only part of it and agreement also has to be reached with the Teachers UnionTeachers Want to work with districts on the plans to make sure that they are safe for both teachers and students. There are a number of considerations for larger districts for our public many conditions that need to be met to ensure we have well the safety protocols in place and it takes School Districts longer to do that he takes them longer to marshal those resources. It takes longer to engage their communities to figure out exactly how this is going to work. Well other issues include logistics and scheduling since middle and High School Students typically change classes throughout the day. Time now is 5 08 and theres a new warning against halloween parties in San Francisco, the castro which is a major hot spot every halloween is going to be close now city officials are worried of course about the covid19 outbreak kron fours will tran live in the castro. With more on the warning now were getting from city leaders well. They said dont mess with success, San Francisco is doing such a wonderful job with covid19 and they dont want people flocking to the Castro District to walk backwards as far as the progress so thats why theyre telling people do not come to the Castro District on saturday for halloween to celebrate now the city and this is video from years past the city actually started cracking down on partiers back in 2006. I remember doing this story year after year. When it was the Biggest Party of the year in San Francisco with thousands of people showing up unfortunately during that time every now and then there would be violence shooting destruction that the city 14 years ago shut down. This party. But many people still continue to show up maybe not as much as in years past, but they definitely dont want people to show up this year because of covid19 so yesterday the supervisor who overlooks that district he sent out this news release to the publics i want to draw your attention to the screen. His name is rafeal mantoman he says across the country in cities like philadelphia and los light los angeles cases are surging. Do at least in part to people gathering in large and small groups if that happens in San Francisco. We may have to choose once again between saving lives and shutting down now they do expect of course people to show up they say if you do show up try to do it early gap shopping there a lot of families in the Castro District if you have to be out and about try to do it early but then you have a party at your location and once again james and area there still urging people if youre going to a party for halloween do it in your social bubble with your immediate family or people that you see often bit dont flock to this location. No word on what they plan to do have a lot of people show up if they will disperse it, but theyre getting the word out now a couple of days before halloween. Just dont show up this one thing to handle violence. Another thing to handle a silent killer like covid19. Back to you and well put all right, thanks a lot. Well. James.

We know its been closed to cars since january. The new thing is buses and bicycles but theyre concerned. The about the bicycles now because the pandemic plans for the better Market Street project are being scaled down that means redesigns to plans that would make Market Street more bicycle friendly and easier to walk. Supervisor matt haney says the changes are notable and would impact the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians. Now. Just in the last couple weeks theyve presented a redesign which changes the entire thing and change the way that the transit lanes or design it taken away the protected bike lane and theyve taken away some of the pedestrian improvements and all we want for this street is for it to meet its potential for it to be safe and accessible. Project leaders say theyre saving 63 Million Dollars with this new plan but the project still is going to cost more than a 120 Million Dollars altogether. Also in San Francisco drivers are going to have to slow down near geary boulevard and golf street. The city is reducing the speed limit there down to 25 Miles Per Hour used to be 35 and this is along portions from geary from laguna street to golf steiner to scott and baker to Saint Josephs the changes come after a deadly crash between a car and a person in august.

Other studies also have shown that airplane Filtration Systems can eliminate the virus. Some people though are still skeptical about the safety of air travel they point out that just last week, 13 people on an Irish Airlines flight tested positive for covid even though 9 of them were Wearing Masks experts also point out that while fewer people are traveling for the holidays, flights could still be full because the airlines are offering fewer flights.

All the bay area regions that were a part of this psps did experience damage or debris on the lines and any of those instances could have triggered a spark that could have led to a fire and thats exactly why we call these psps about its a little to not be able to get certain information that theres a lot of time the wi fi goes down with the so when its windy.

You look outside a city of San Francisco from across the bay is showing another clear start were looking at minimal fog, although an increase marine layer is bringing gradually less dry conditions humidity definitely more of a factor that helps with fire weather somewhat as we still have all the dry grass and dry brush that could result in still spark out there. Now the good news is we are seeing those calm Winds Continuing not just this morning but well into the afternoon ahead of us. Calm winds throughout the course of your thursday and on into your friday and Holiday Weekend too so no big uptick in wind speeds around the corner and no chance of rainfall either as this High Pressure ridge is pushing in chance of rain well to the north we stay mild, we stay dry and we do stay sunny for yet another day.

If you want to get out there and join those folks do it now while we are trouble free and at 11 minutes and growing thats your average drive time from the bottom of the maze across the upper deck in over to the fremont street exit so were off to a good start on 80 and its going to scan around the bay area. So you can see the freeways 24 5. 80 the nimitz the e sure all doing fine 5 8680 trouble free know the trouble spots there through dublin Pleasanton Fremont milpitas and down in the south bay. We have a Little Pocket of slowing on northbound one that is the norm, its between 6 8080 right there in the middle of your screen, but the rest of the trip for one oh one continuing to the peninsula looks good sodus to ad 17 2. 37 so very quiet in the south bay well check more bridges coming up back to you, thanks a lot rob, 5. 49, lets talk fortyniners on sunday they travel to seattle to take on divisionrival Seahawks Jimmy garoppolo and the niners are going up against Russell Wilson behind center for the seahawks its a tough game for the niners as the seahawks led the nfl. In both points and yards per game last year the 9 ers and seahawks played to nail biters in the first matchup the seahawks handed the niners their first loss of the season on a game winning field goal. But the niners won the second game making a goal line stand against the seahawks in the final minutes. The niners locked up the number one seed after that and went to the super bowl this is different this seahawks super bowl favorite and i think the niners are pretty much on the bottom Russell Wilson is a front runner for the league mvp. When youre an athlete like russell has, but then you have the rap city has over time and i mean going back to washington in sea state, i mean hes always been such a poise player that the game to slow motion for when youre a player who seems like you can play in slow motion. You see so much stuff you let the game come to e a and just how long hes been doing it. I mean whether doing it read them are doing it off schedule. I seen so many different defenses hes played with so many different players and when you have the skill set he does have the mindset. He doesnt have the experience he does thats usually what happens. Kickoff is one 25 sunday in seattle. Well the raiders are also going to be on the road to theyll be taking on the Cleveland Browns sunday morning. The raiders are coming off a pretty bad as we remember from last week and theyre desperate to get a win to try and get their groove back this season, but this year the browns well there are no cakewalk actually loaded pretty much show with talent fact lets take a look at some of the footage from last game on sunday and you can see quarterback Baker Mayfield there, scoring fact he led the browns to a 5, 2, record this season. So the raiders defense has to be ready to stop him and his offensive weapons and then a cooler raiders coach jon gruden says the defense for the browns also not release of the score on either. Well i think number one a Cleveland Browns generate generated 14 from their defense. And you can put the yards per and that you can talk about that stat all you want they have set him up. I would good field position at times and they can run the ball and those are 2 great ingredients. You know get the ball, good field position running the football, but this guys excellent quarterback. Hes proven he complain anybody system. So there you have it the raiders game against browns kicks off at 10 oclock sunday morning. Well take a break here at 5. 52. Well be right back. Sometimes.
