Advisory. For the bay bridge that chp issued a really early this morning, it still stands. But the good news is not a lot of traffic in your way though if you are going to be heading into downtown San Francisco. In fact a look at the drive time much improved as we kick off this 9 oclock hour 10 minutes for your westbound 80 drive out of the macarthur maze across the upper deck and into downtown to the fremont street accident. The san mateo bridge improving here as less folks on the roads and that we saw the last hour a 13 minute drive time. No issues on the flat section the high rise looks good and its going to be a a really nice drive off or youre westbound 92 right over to that 1, 1, connector in foster city. Ill check the richmond sandra fell bridge and the golden gate in just a couple minutes back to the news. Thanks a lot 9 oh one the big story most of the bay area is going into big lockdown tonight you can see San Francisco contra costa alameda and santa clara counties. Those all start today and then tomorrow at noon county joins them with a strict stay at home order like we havent seen for months. So lets take a look at what you can and cannot we were going to the hair salon but thats no more no more hair cuts inside. Barber shops are hair salons. No more Outdoor Dining even that means that restaurants can only offer. Take out service from tonight on you cant go to the gym anymore drivein gatherings are banned. You cant take the kids to the playground anymore. In these lockdown counties Outdoor Family Entertainment Centers are closed and that includes no zoos know museums no open air bus or boat tours either all of those businesses have to shut down in San Francisco. That means the parks are restricted as in the other counties involved so playgrounds skate parks are closed the zoo is closed you can still go and have a picnic its got to be a small gathering though with a maximum of 12 people. And you saw some people walking well in the east Bay Regional Park District you can still hike but no more camping. No outdoor museums there the playgrounds are also going to close down as well but the trails are open if you did have a reservation for camping. Those are all canceled right up until january 4th. 4 had a chance to speak with doctor deborah birx of the White House Coronavirus task force about whether state leaders were making the right decision in implementing these lockdowns once again, heres what she had to say. You know i dont think california has a choice at this moment you know governors and mayors across this great country want to make sure that hospitals are available to every american that needs care. Yes, the americans that need care from this serious virus and this pandemic. But also americans that need care for their other medical conditions and i think every governor and mayor recognizes that although we are moving this vaccine as fast as possible. And it will be immunizing Health Care Workers and a limited number of vulnerable individuals that are and how Long Term Care facilities. That leaves still a 100 million or so americans with comorbidities that we know. Often resolved in hospitalizations are succumbing to this virus and so were asking everybody to make these changes now how did we end up getting here if we had all warner mask. If we had not gathered outside of our household. Your governor will not be making these recommendations at this point and i think our behaviors will determine the next 4 to 6 weeks of what americans survive and what americans dont survive. Well a dire warning now from San FranciscoHealth Officials there worried that hospitals will become quickly. Saturated this is a graph right now illustrating what theyre talking about the texas that you see here on the far left. Those are the actual available bets. Its hovering right around a 100 this is for the entire county of San Francisco, the blue line represents the projection if the trends continue the way theyre going and you can see the number of available beds continues to decrease decreased decrease until we get to this yellow arrow, which represents the point at which the available beds hits 0 and then we go into negative territory. That yellow arrow happens right around christmas time. And thats why Health Officials are awfully worried that if we dont do something soon to change our current behavior. The pattern will have us without beds for intensive care unit patients by christmas. Seems like every day we set another record as we did over the weekend take a look more than 30,000 new covid cases were reported saturday. Thats the most recorded cases in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic more than 300 new patients when in the hospitals across the street with the virus. So now there are 10,000 people currently hospitalized with covid and thats why the bay area is having to go into lockdown cover Sarah Stinson is live in front of u c s f with the details on what theyre doing in the situation there sarah. Were starting the week off with a very grim prediction put out by San Franciscos Health Director doctor colfax saying the hospitals very well could run out of hospital beds by december 26 if things keep going the way they are right now. Health officials sent the frightening reality check to residents on sunday, saying right now were seeing the worst covid surges in the city yet hospitals are overwhelmed and might not be able to care for those who need it. But unlike the other surges every hospital in california is under the same stress. The worry is that there wouldnt be even a place to transfer people. Doctor colfax says in the last month hospitalizations have tripled and the last week have increased by 35 , lets hear more about his predictions. By january there will be approximately 206 people in San Francisco in need of a hospital bed. And it seems continue on this trajectory by february 4 years there could be 1600. 1600 people in San Francisco in need of a hospital that if this trend continues and we do not slow the spread of the virus. We will be unable to care for people in San Franciscos hospitals. And its not only because events but its because we will not have enough nurses and doctors to adequately care for people. He says not only would they not be able to help every covid patient. But also other patients with other health needs and even Emergency Needs so a very very scary prediction. But its one that maybe will wake people up as we head into the stay at home order. Hopefully people stay home as much as possible when they leave their homes put on that mask reporting at ucsf back to you yet sarah the stayathome order has been a wakeup call for sure lets take a look at the latest numbers in california where well over 1. 3 million cases now. Statewide in close to 20,000 people have died in california including 2027 deaths to covid in the bay area. Governor newsom is going hold a News Conference we told you about that were standing by its posed to happen at 9. 30 and we will carry it live right here on the morning news as well as streaming on our kron on app. In National Headlines president trumps personal attorneys, Rudy Giuliani has tested positive for the coronavirus is being treated right now georgetown university.

Yeah weve been dry weve been mild already but today we add the wind into it and that is making for heightened fire danger across parts of the bay area even notice the winds stmount diablo mount am amounting to over 40 to even 60 Miles Per Hour at some of our mountain tops notably windy day, but that has helped to clear out air quality we did spend the weekend under spare the air alerts now air quality is good as that stagnant air its been filtered out by these rushing winds of course when you do have dry conditions and strong winds like we do fire danger becomes of concern again so we have a very rare december red flag warning in effect through 05 00pm tonight for all of the north bay inland east bay as well as coastal portions of San Mateo County now futurecast shows were going to remain free of fog through the day into the evening, this is an offshore wind so its pushing any sort of marine layer fog for that matter. Well away from the coastline. So another clear start to the morning tomorrow, but winds will really come down through the evening tonight, so much calmer start your morning tomorrow. We will be looking at temperatures of the coast really warm Golden Gate Park at 68 today Half Moon Bay at 69 daly city up to 70 degrees. This mix of 60s and 70s that were seeing across the bay today as well above average for this time of year normally were only in the low 60s and temperatures so warm in fact that we could be breaking some records out there today as daytime highs do rise into the low 70s for much of the region oakland youll be up to 72 today with the pittsburgh in antioch each at 70. Well santa rosa in petaluma or warmest of spots at 73 degrees. Each. Tomorrows temperatures will still be warm but we will be a whole lot calmer so its going to be a nicer day to actually venture out and enjoy after that temperatures cool and into the 60s where we should be so by the weekend ahead of us were back to average lows will drop into the 30s. Well bayside and coastal lows into the 40s. Rebecca. All right john we definitely had a lot so windy or Road Conditions as well in fact a high wind advisory still issued for the bay bridge if youre going to be taking that into San Francisco this morning just be careful out there and take your time things are very blustery out there lots of debris also reported on the roadway so watch out for that 8 minutes though thats a great drive time into downtown and getting to that fremont street exit across the upper deck. Whats the 92 has been great and the drive time continues to improve and cause you a lot of folks on the roadway here but had nothing to get in your way everything is at the limit as far as the speeds go and were going have a really nice her from the east bay over to the peninsula for your westbound 92 rhyme checking things out at the Richmond Center fell bridge. Its been really lightly traveled a all morning. And it continues to be that way 8 minutes to make your way to the north bay and coming out of the north bay really look great all morning except for of course like the debris like i was mentioning on the roadways just be careful there south 1, 1, coming out in nevado through moran and then across the golden gate into San Francisco though a total drive time of 20 minutes on your south 1, 1, right back to the news. Time now to talk winners and losers on wall street were joined this morning by financial expert, rob black to help us understand what were seeing in the numbers, good morning, rob. Morning james. So weve got the markets down a bit out of the anything triggering that are we talking about people just collecting some profits. Probably collecting profits is a good way to start the conversation we saw doctor deborah birx over the weekend say that covid is going to get worse to be the worst event history. United states before it gets better uk started vaccinations United States stations by friday this week with a thursday fda approval fingers crossed. But stocks are off record highs friday, we hit a record high. Nasdaq the s p 500 today, the nasdaq sina high words the dallas taking a little bit of a breather has fared in financials which really well in november, a cool off a little bit little profit taking there. Stimulus bill is still being pandered bandied around talked about. One representative out of louisiana was a republican said that he thinks 800 million will get approved by both the president. And the senate mitch mcconnell. So we should be in the mood for a reopening play in the first 6 months of 2021. So i think stocks will stay at or near record highs. A couple stocks. Well, but the indices well for the first 6 months as we reopen and its playing out almost 2 obviously that makes me a little bit nervous. By you im not going to they play tomorrow well speaking of stocks, you say one of the stocks that seems to bounce back the best during this is guess theyve been able to claw their way back pretty well ha. Yeah, i think disney sums up the stock market thats why i wanted to be the story today they hit a record high on friday markets high on friday. Their revenue at parks are down 62 yearoveryear movies are down 51 . Its a disaster, its its not great theyre not doing cruises and yet their stock its all time high cant be just because it disney plus candidate. And the question you know friday when i wasnt at kron there was a story that got around that time warners to be releasing all movies in 2021. In this year, but also on time hbo max, the same day. Thats the death of movie theaters thats not good. But well see how disney response x disneys got a big investor day on thursday. And this probably see some positive things but if the vaccine goes well, disney justifies its alltime high. If theres consequences with the vaccine that we dont know about weve kind of rewarded a little bit too its the perfect stocks look at as a real pretty because theyre so damaged right on being back to normal like after an earthquake 6 months later will rebuild and will forget that earthquake stop 6 months are now will forget covid happened is the hope is investors are counting on. I can make a case for. Yeah ok well well see how than that plays out. I get i think feel like this is a weird year to be going ipo but weve got you say air bnb and doordash this week. Out doing their initial Public Offering whats your whats your view on that. Its its its its another pandemic story right now i public last year at this time where heather never been a pandemic they value asians will be what they but because help and mary ott and hi struggles so bad during the pandemic air bnb has kind of said we are office they are theyre off 6070 drop quarterly off 50 revenue somehow they got a double by ration their coming public this week we all know where bin be out your house to friends and family when youre away or you go on a vacation turned year. San bruno hours and carlos home into someone elses home from vacation, and it sounds a lot better than going to a hotel lobby be quite honest. Go into a room that someone covid in the night before so i get it. But theyre both publicly outcome public this week wall street loves a good the bay areas got a great history with ipos and i think well learn on wednesday or thursday that there could be priced even higher strong public demand as again the pandemic i i use doordash is a verb now an action my life you its sushi tonight doordash and when you become an action verb like when you google somewhat its telling a business is pretty good. So i think youre doordash coming its fascinating place on pandemic one gives us a place to stay thats tell no one brings a speech or a house that my credit card i said you know you have to pay for the doordash services as long as you know youre tipping them and in pain.

For the counties that you see here in red that includes moran contra costa Alameda Santa clara and San Francisco moran to be clear goes into Effect Tomorrow at noon the others go into effect today, the other counties in the bay area theyre not highlighted have chosen not to go into this early lockdown until they get word from the governor which potentially could happen at some point this morning, the stay at home order means of course the personal Services Like hair salons restaurants barber shops can no longer. Offer their Services Inside as for restaurants is just pick up or delivery only no more indoor Outdoor Dining gyms also if affected no more indoor gyms drivein gatherings outdoor playground Entertainment Centers zoos museums, anything like that even open airbuss and boat operators cannot conduct business while this lockdowns in place you think about how hard this is on businesses restaurants and hair salons particular that first of all they had no customers then they retrofitted right. And got all those heaters out so that you can eat outside and Everything Else and now thats all going to have to shut down you can see and walnut creek. A lot of restaurants had their parklets filled with customers who are taking advantage of that for the last weekend as for the barbershops and hair salons they just kept shut down again. Its dire situation to be able to keep some businesses open. In. I believe that the Beauty Industry in the Restaurant Industry are getting hit the hardest safety wise. Its a good thing that were doing but it also that we can see your friends and family again. During the holidays, but we have to do the right thing at the end of the day i believe that the lockdown home its definitely going to help. The restrictions are in place at least until monday january 4th. And over the weekend in Santa Clara County, some shops opened up their doors during their days off just tried take in as many customers as they could safely. A lot of businesses were fully booked through sunday and that includes of course, barber shops hair styles people are trying to get some of those appointments in because a lot of them are going to have to be shut down for the rest of the month and for some they say im sure if their business is going to survive that. I have a more a i have up a also take care of my i just wish the government. Even the mayors or if they have a plan for of some in comes a couple money or something how we got up and that the number one thing you just like man was shut down we still got to pay rent. And be terrible a business had to basically go bankrupt during the holidays, the lockdown in Santa Clara County is going to extend through monday, january 4th. And with the coronavirus surging weve been talking about what the for what theyre doing with theres also a state and National Effort in fact at this point us is averaging about a million new cases every 5 days and so public Health Officials. Obviously worried, theyd fear that the numbers will get worse if we dont change our behavior got you know taking a closer look. California reporting a record high of more than 30,000 new Coronavirus Infections and at least 85 deaths intensive care units from the San Joaquin Valley to san diego reaching critical capacity with fewer than 15 of the regions icu beds available. Asking every american to make these Behavioral Changes to take these personal sacrifices seriously White House Coronavirus coordinator doctor deborah birx echoing the California Department of Public Health saying the state is just weeks away from running out of icu space you know i dont think california has a choice at this moment you know governors and mayors across this great country want to make sure that hospitals are available to every american that needs care across the country. The numbers are soaring. More than 100,000 people are hospitalized from coast to coast. The u. S. Now averaging more than 200,000 new cases and 2100 deaths each day. Thats one american dying from covid19 almost every 38 seconds so how did we end up getting here if we had all warner mask. If we had not gathered outside of our household. Your governor will not be making these recommendations at this point and i think our behaviors will determine the next 4 to 6 weeks of what americans survive and what americans dont survive johnson kron 4 news.

Were back at 9. 39 breaking news governor Gavin Newsome holding a press conference right now updating the state on the coronavirus pandemic head on. 2 of californias best known headquartered Technology Companies google and apple of join together in an effort to provide for exposure notification not Contact Tracing. But exposure notification i want to provide you a little bit information about what california is doing today to help support their efforts a little bit about the work that weve been doing. With google and apple over the course of the last number of months with a Pilot Program particularly at our you sees. But you can see that the california notify or putting out is about an opt in opportunity for individuals to participate. In a notification protocol, an opt in not opt out privacy protected. This is not Contact Tracing. This is notification technology. You can choose to participate in leveraging this technology to allow people that you have been in contact with or have been in contact with you to be notified of potential exposure related to the transmission of this disease i remind you 100 private. One percent secure. 100 voluntary you opt in or you choose not to and theres no tracking data no location. Data that is shared as part parcel of california notify whatsoever these are foundational principles. The reason i reinforcing it was because theyre important we value privacy california has long been a leader in terms of advancing the cause and we dont want to do anything to set that cause back and thats why weve been. Frankly a little and kept our eyes wide open in terms of this technology. We dont want to jump in. Ready a fire and we wanted to really take time reflect on this technology to be secure. In our confidence that what were promoting what were stating here today is indeed accurate and thats exactly what we have been lets talk about the technology specifically technology will be available this thursday. You have 2 platforms you have the apple and the Google Android platform the Google Android platform requires that you download california notify from the google play store, you open up the app you turn on the covid19 exposure notification that very i would say relatively it is indeed 8 simple process. Go if you have Google Android and download the notification app from google play and you just open the app and you turn on the notification ill tell you what it does in just one moment, my available. This thursday, the apple iphone each i have right here to simple thing its already in the fall in the open up settings scroll down to find the notification you can see there on the slide. Specifically what is required in terms of the property was tapped to turn on. Notification for and you follow the it laos fundamentally bluetooth access. And you have to always this case with these technologies just accept. The terms now you tap turn on. And thats your phone now is prepared for notification but lets talk about what this is. Heres how it works so lets or allison or bob youre chatting it very closely not socially distance you know physically. Distance here chatting for a number of minutes and your cell phones because you have opted into this technology are automatically because a bluetooth. Exchanging what we refer to in technological terms as anonymous keys. Youve had a few days later view well, you discover if youre alice that you have tested positive for covid and you receive a code, the attacks from the California Department of Public Health. For the california notify so does this mean for bob well if dallas can sense for cover notified to anonymously alert. Other users. That she has likely been exposing the last 14 days. Then bob gets notified. And is directed to information with an alert looks a little bit like the one you see up on the screen. Youve recently been exposed to someone is tested positive for covid19 tap, this property for more information that more information will lead you. To information thats been provided by the California Department, a Public Health on what you can do next so fully automated upton technology, not Contact Tracing does not in any way shape or form. Provide any of your personal information in any part of the process and protocol and this is a pilot that now were bringing to the state as a statewide opportunity that weve been engaged in since september specifically the pilot began with the eu seasoned we officially starting with california. Well the university of San Francisco and then expanded to more california. You see campuses now 7 different you see campuses we expanded them. To those campuses in november over quarter of a million users now and just in the last number of weeks 8 weeks more than 60 positive tests verification codes have been issued 60 individuals have been notified. Of positive tests and been verified through the code process have been connected to their folks in their clout in their circle people they may have come into contact with its confusing really isnt that confusing just encourage you to go to the covid 19 dot ca dot gov website that covidnineteen dot ca dot gov website to learn more about the california notify and whether or not its something you want to add to your you just additional tool in the tool kit in terms of your safety protocols thats why i started that slide around physical distancing and wearing this is just a opportunity for you to add to those tools again available this thursday december 10th. Not opt out. You receive similar to what you see right here on the screen and exposure notification this will likely go out on wednesday. Before the thursday. A publication of this new available technology. This will just propped to remind you that you have the ability to utilize this technology. If you choose, Washington State governor inslee just a few days ago. I think it was last week. Offered a similar strategy number of other states have does the same but here in california the scale and scope number of individuals obviously that could make themselves avail themselves to this this hold a lot of promise and want to over stated because you need to get to an adaptation. Level that is significant for it to have the kind of impact that would be profound. But as youve seen from the pilot at the eu sees it has been effective and even if we dont have. 10s of millions of people participate in this program. The more people that participated in more than opt in the more effective this program can be again another tool and are took it in terms of impacting the spread in transmission rate of this virus now lets talk about new case numbers 24,735. What were reporting over the last 24 hour period, you can see the 7 day average now moving up just shy of 22,000 cases a day this is substantially greater than what we have seen in the past and just over the last 3 days weve averaged roughly 25,000 cases 7 day. Just shy of 22,000 cases just the last 72 hours averaging about 25,000 new cases day. You can see here on the 14 day. Test Positivity Rate at 8. 4 you can see that rain begin to rise just looking at the last 7 days. Of testing you can also see our testing on a daily basis is also rising. 48 hours ago we recorded almost 300,000 tests over a 24 hour period. Testing now on a daily average over 7 day. Now just shy of 210,000 tests. We want to get those numbers up over 25 million getting close to 26 million tests have been conducted in the state i think thats the highest number of any state in the country but not on a per capita basis and thats why those daily test numbers continue to need to grow and thats why we and comer to the brother committed ourselves to opening state down in Southern California which is very timely particularly now that youre seen what we experienced a number of months ago were starting to see. Testing backlogs now across the country start to increased in terms of time to test results beginning to increase number of beginning to grow we course in anticipation of that opener on state lab, the goal is to get to a 150,000 tests over 24 hour period every day. That number continues to grow said in the past more of a we dont ramp up overnight. Few 1000 tests first week to 10,000 month to getting up to a 150,000 tests in the 1st quarter. Next year. Positivity rate just put this in perspective that 8. 4 years the 14 day. Trend line you can see what we were just 2 weeks ago at 5. 6 positivity now 8. 4 could see that rate of is very very acute cited provide, heres a 30 day. Look back when we were just a month ago 3. 4 . Positivity you may recall that 5 sort of the magic number from a global perspective for we want to see rates below to create some semblance of stability course, california we want to see it. Below one percent we want to see this virus eliminated, but nonetheless. We were 3. 4 just 30 days ago and how quickly thats what this chart represents how quickly we could see these numbers climb 10. 5 is the 7 day. Positivity rate so that is an indication of where were going 14 days more modest at a 0. 4 thats the highest weve seen over 14 day period. Since we started recording. When. Weve got into those summer months those early days, you may recall this go back you see that 40 0. 8 . That was back in but that was on the basis of a very small number of average daily tests you can see really the stability. Throughout the summer with little peak in july little bit in august and we start to come down september october and now here we go back up. And november 8. 4 Positivity Rate now in the state of california. Hospitalizations were now over 10,000 patients in our hospitals, 72 increase over the last 14 days you can see how quickly this grows 1123. Just a few weeks ago. We had shy of 6,000. Covid19 positive patients in a Hospital System now over 10,000 just like that 72 increase in just 14 days, you carry that forward and you understand why we made the recommendations we did made the announcement we did rather last week as it relates to further. Controls further or other protocols in terms of movement and behavior in the state. I want to put the Hospital Health care system in. And capacity over all into perspective you can see here it slides very familiar for those it have watched these presentations close to 74,000 hospital beds in our hospital care system. This is the health care. The pass a d not our capacity outside the Hospital System itself you can see that 14 . Or hospital beds, just 14 . Our covid19 positive but 63 of all of the beds are being utilized for other purposes as you recall weve stated this on multiple occasions in the past and these are the protocols that were well established in the beginning of this pandemic ability for the Hospital System to search to provide access and capacity above and beyond those 74,000 beds and also reduce id compressing the existing hospital census of admitted patients by reducing elective surgeries and the like youre seen hospital by Hospital System by system region by region doing just that no mandate from above weve been working very very cleverly with the hospital association. A True Partnership with our system and we have the ability realtime dashboards sorts to monitoring engaged to get a sense of where people are pulling back in terms of elected surgeries where peoples is approaching a need and concern to either within the existing footprint of the hospital site or more regionally in terms of the mutual aid system thats well defined in the state. So hospital bed capacity is always been of the concern weve raised that as a legitimate concern particularly region by region hospital by Hospital System by system. But in the aggregate. We are currently in a position where we can absorb additional growth gain its about icy use. And thats been our primary focus and thats why weve highlighted icu is last week we highlight in the week before, and they were certainly highlighted in the last 24 hours where a number of new requirements went into effect in 2 regions in this state and then the voluntary requirements or put into place in a 3rd region of the state. More on that. In a moment, lets take a look though specifically icu admissions in the state now over 2000. Were just about 1402 weeks ago 2360 individuals have been admitted to icu says. Youve seen a 69 increase. In icu. Capacity or rather icu beds being utilized just in the last 14 days. Lets put this in perspective. Have a chart here that is very familiar, but i wanted to. Provided a different lens on this chart. What weve done here as you can see in the blue portion of this pie thats patients already in icu system. So heres our total capacity, the pie, the circle. Theyre of icu beds, Critical Care capacity. In the state of california. You can see now as a state. This is again in the aggregate we dont live in the aggregate. But this is in the aggregate icu capacity, whats available. In our icu Critical Care capacity system. Its just 14. 2 of beds. Good news is you can see in the lower right there ventilators available is the highest number weve ever seen weve been busily the curing more ventilators all get to more specifics on that. In a moment and thats important because the end of the day the ventilators and staffing become foundational in terms of our ability to deliver Critical Care. But you get a sense of the why if youre asking yourself why did the state of california move forward with a trigger at 15 of icu capacity why the focus on icy used disproportionately i hope this chart, this is you have any anxiety related to the why and substitutes i hope with some more optimism. A frame. That we are not only being proactive but were also preparing and i want to talk about that in a second, but first lets update you on the regional stayathome order that went into effect after regions fell below 50 of the remaining icu capacity remember california size and scope of the states equivalent population of 21 states combined. So often is the case as we talk about other States National media and california is just consider like another state when in fact, california in so many ways is unique and distinctive because of the scale and scope the size. Not just the but the regional of california in particular and in each region are different resources, different capacity and as a consequence. Weve looked at 5 regions and not just one state 5 regions where there is a connective tissue between little think figure lee between the Hospital System in the Critical Care system in terms of relationships and mutual aid protocols and a framework of proximity that advantages are wake up in a winter slumberland.
