You see it there more than 3100 people have died from the virus on wednesday and now for the First Time Ever more than a 100,000 americans right now are hospitalized with coronavirus. And about 20,000 of them are in the icu so its serious and this comes as california now setting records for the number of new cases crop for Sarah Stinson on that story for us now. Live in San Francisco, sarah. Good morning. Im live here at Ucsf Medical Center where the emergency room you can see our medical heroes heading into work governor Gavin Newsome he tweeted earlier this week the projections show that if things keep going the way they are we could be out of icu beds by Christmas Eve that is an alarming in grim projection and he tweeted that before we saw some of the worst numbers in our States History with this pandemic yesterday cases grew by 20,000 cases were reported yesterday shattering the states previous oneday record 8500 people are in the hospital 2000 in the icu right here in the bay area things arent looking good either with all the marin county in the purple tier, San Mateo County case rate shot up 85 from october to November Santa clara county still leads in the number of cases and deaths governor newsome is considering a tough state home order for all the states 40 million residents saying he fears the staggering surge could overwhelm our Hospital Systems within just weeks as we just heard newsom is currently in quarantine after his 3 children were exposed to the virus. He warned this week about taking the drastic action of numbers dont improve and as i just showed you. They are not improving at all this could be similar though to the mid march lockdown that closed down nonessential businesses barring people from leaving their home only for essential test now we talked to 2 bay area doctors one being from right here at ucsf both in favor of shutting down the state saying it could help case rates under control. Families getting together indoors and individuals houses is another way the virus has probably taken off over the last several weeks. So again just some type of the modified order that would at when it got people going to other peoples houses what were seeing today reflects what happened 2 weeks ago. And so we know by looking at the case Positivity Rate and by the trends. That if you shut things down or pull back some today that will influence what we see in mid december. So the numbers were seeing right now is a separate surge from what were going to see from the thanksgiving likely as you said 2 weeks to find out. Thanksgiving was one week ago today. So were currently waiting to hear from the governor waiting to hear from mayor of San Francisco to see if there will be stay at home order locally and statewide we know theres already a curfew put in place 10 to 05 00am already shutting down over there so were just waiting is very its just looming right now so stand by a lot is going to happen between now. And monday reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right very good sarah, lets talk a little more about l a. Sarah the situation there also dire in fact all people within the city of los angeles are being told to remain in their homes and follow the citys stay at home order. The new public order from the mayor of l a includes a number of restrictions, including a ban on some travel. The new order comes after Los Angeles County reported more than 2400 people hospitalized for the virus on wednesday alone thats more than any other day during the pandemic in la county. Vaccines may be coming to Santa Clara County in the next few weeks county Officials Say they have a plan in place for distribution kron fours rob fladeboe has more. Santa clara county Health Officials offering very few specific but said that they now have submitted their required plan for vaccination protocols once the vaccine arrives. Meantime they say they are focused now on the rising tide of hospitalizations and getting people to cooperate with new Stricter Health the answer i have for you today is that that that number is evolving Santa Clara County Health Officials on wednesday reporting progress in setting up distribution plans for covid19 vaccine. But could not say which vaccine might arrive first or how much will be available. Many countries and states and counties want access to vaccines and like everyone else. We will receive a limited supply at first. More will be coming over time doctor tong said health care and other frontline workers would be the first to get vaccinated. Officials said it could take many months before the county has sufficient quantities of vaccine for all who may need it the meantime they say they are extremely worried about running out of hospital beds amid rising infections as of december 1st. Icu occupancy among hospitals traditionally serving the south county and the east part of san jose. I see occupancy was at 93 hospital serving those areas have no more than 5 icu beds available right now its hoped a newly imposed restrictions such as reducing retail store capacity. A ban on Contact Sports that forced the 49 ers and collegiate teams out of the county for 3 weeks and a 14 day quarantine order impacting people who travel more than 150 miles away for thanksgiving, will help stem the tide of infection as we know that that. Volume of mixing of households in the surge in cases across United States could really be an accelerant in leading to much additional growth in cases and therefore serious illnesses and hospitalizations again officials here say they are working out the logistics for the distribution of that vaccine. And they say the plan will be posted on the countys website very soon in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news. And defense released the first images here is a picture of the Covid Vaccine record card vaccination kit. Theres going to be one of these for everybody who gets vaccinated. They give you the shot and then they give you that card you put the card your wallet and that will remind you when you need your next dose. The vaccine will be administered in 2 doses. Depending on which vaccine you get its either 21 days or 28 days apart, and it is time change have to stick with the same manufacturer that you use the first time the vaccine click it has the. Car that they give to you and then theres a needle syringe alcohol wipes and a mask. This morning, San Francisco has a brand new state of the art floating. Fire boat station appear 22 per the floating fire boat, you know, i mean their boats and i see them but ive never seen a whole station floating around the different it is a little different to and to show us what it looks like. Weve got kron fours will tran standing by live out there at the embarcadero and what will people will as they drive by. Tell you why i have a unique perspective because the San Francisco Fire Department actually lead us go behind the existing fire stations station 35 as this one is currently being built. It was actually the platform. No foundation was built in shanghai china. Hold across the Pacific Ocean went to Treasure Island earlier this year and then in the overnight hours with the conditions being so perfected the water that they use the tug boats and brought it here so its behind fire station 35. Its still under construction. Its the you the most unique fire station for apps in the entire world because its a floating a fire station 15,000 square feet. It will be ready to go and the next several months or so lets get a live interview here with Jonathan Baxter hes the Public Information officer lieutenant baxter with the San Francisco Fire Department. Thank you for joining us this morning, sir. What makes this so valuable to San Francisco. You have the fire station right there. Well first of all this is amazing and i want to thanks winner, 10 dpw and san franciscans for helping us get to this point if you can see behind me this old stations there for a 100 years. Its. You know we have the good in the bout, this has so much tradition. Its one of the oldest station its got the last spinal staircase and has so many cool things out hour firefighters really love, however we know that we need to grow in a doubt to the needs of our community which are increasing water incidents. The need to be able to officiant way to respond to emergencies such as we saw in 19 06 1989, and recently the pier 45 fire with this station has to offer his number one its on a barge. So if we see global warming. Were not going to have to worry about station or rebuilding a station this will actually float in rise to that tied increase we have an earthquake, its on the water it should be able to ride out the earthquake in stay in service. Marine rescue assets or rescue boats and a rescue watercraft which a rescuer count is like a jet ski. A rescue boat is a fast boat that we see with Police Department or you know is in los angeles. We see those boats lot that we have here in San Francisco. But theyre stationed at in Saint Francis yacht club leaves this big gap here. So with this station we have the ability to house new boat here to go out to rescue people in need. We now have it built in repair facility. 4 rescue watercraft so in the past, it would have to load up those rescue drive them to allow location and then reverse out back into the water which decreases our ability to have them in service to serve our community which this will fix obviously you have a lot to say hes so excited dont go anywhere.
