Mind of San Francisco mayor london breed, and not in a good way. No. You may recall last week we saw crowded beaches and parks as people got outside, perhaps a little bit too far from home. Both the mayor and Governor Newsom scolded californians for not practicing social distancing and for crowding parking lots at parks instead of just walking to their neighborhood park. Breed made it very clear there will be consequences if the behavior doesnt change this weekend. Last thing we want to do, as i said, is to start to close the last bit of fresh air that were able to get during this very difficult time. So parks we know are essential, and i know other places have chosen to just close parks and other places down. We dont want to get to that place, but if we see more people playing in basketball courts, if we see more people playing volleyball with one another and baseball and some of the sports that are more teamrelated, we will have no other choice. A lot of parking lots will be closed this weekend as the state and the city look to control the crowds and get people to follow the stayathome order. Moments ago, santa clara officials reminded bay area residents to continue practicing social distancing. They want to avoid scenarios many areas saw last weekend, as weve been talking about, the huge crowds that packed the parks, beaches. Social distancing and staying at home is really key to slowing the spread of disease. So right now, its really not important if you want to stay healthy to be counting numbers and trying to look at curves and looking at projections. Whats really, really important is to stay at home, stay away from other people as much as you can. This is not a time to be convening the easter egg hunt, the easter convening or even the family convening out there in these parks. Meanwhile, the California AirNational Guard and medical staff are racing to set up this temporary hospital inside the Santa Clara Convention center. This is one of the federal medical stations authorized by President Trump to be set up in california, washington, and new york. It has the capacity for 250 patients who are on the mend from the coronavirus infection, but still need subacute hospital care. There are some individuals who might have a home that they otherwise could go to. But if its very close living quarters where they would have a risk of exposing others at home and couldnt remain safely isolated from others at home. That would be welcome. These temporary federal medical stations are designed to alleviate the patient load from hospitals so they can concentrate on treating the sickest patients. The state and county will staff this temporary hospital. This afternoon, the mayor of los angeles sounded the alarm about the rapid spread of coronavirus. It came during a News Conference with Governor Newsom to announce the u. S. Mercy hospital ship has arrived at the port of los angeles and is fully operational. L. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti announced new numbers from Los Angeles County and says the virus is exploding in the community at a rate faster than what new york city has been experiencing. Yesterdays increase, though, of over 50 would of course have a doubling rate of less than two days. By that measure, we would be where new york city is in number of cases per capita in Los Angeles County six days from now, or five days from now, six days from yesterday. Scary stuff. Los angeles county is reporting nearly 1500 cases of coronavirus. The mercy is going to treat patients who do not have the disease to free up beds at hospitals for coronavirus patients. During todays News Conference, Governor Newsom announced a statewide moratorium on evicts through may 31st. Dozens of cities including San Francisco have announced similar bans. Renters will still be required to pay whatever rent they owe and must tell their landlords if they arent going to be able to make a payment. San francisco District Attorney boudin is calling for more coronavirus precautions to be taken in prisons. He sent out a tweet saying his father is in prison, and at age 75, he is at high risk of the virus hcht told new yorker magazine that he last spoke with his father, David Gilbert on the phone this week and expressed concerns about the phones which are used by a large number of inmates, of course. Gilbert is serving 75 years to life as a member of the Weather Underground that resulted in the death of a guard and two police officers. Help in the battle against coronavirus is now coming from Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan as well. Today the Couples Foundation committed 25 million to the covid19 therapeutics accelerator. Thats a global effort to speed the development of treatments. The initiative issued a statement saying its investment will support efforts to identify and assess potentially promising therapies, expedite their development and scale up their production to benefit millions of patients worldwide.

Abc7 News Reporter david louie has the story of one man who had to cancel his drome to hike the Pacific Crest trail. The 2650mile long Pacific Crest trail is one of the most scenic and challenging trails to be found. It has been a goal for alexberger to walk its length from mexico to canada since high school. He was set to start the hike next month, however, the coronavirus has closed the trail. How crestfallen are you right now . It was devastating. Berger started training just over a year ago, doing short hikes and running. He had to asemigear and supplies. It entailed personal sacrifices. He gave up a job in the Hospitality Industry and downsized, selling his car and personal property. He paid off 27,000 in student loans. And he broke his lease just so he could focus on his goal. Then the Health Emergency derailed everything. As of right now, have i been cast into limbo. So im out here maintaining my fitness, trying to maintain a positive outlook. And waiting to see what the future holds. While there is disappointment, berger puts the health and safety of others first. The Pacific Crest trail is remote, and hikers are dependent on suppliers as they make their way through california, oregon and washington. We typically would resupply by going into small towns along the trail to buy new food every four to six days. So i could be transmitting this disease to unwitting people all up and down the length of our country. Besides testing his own perseverance and skills, berger was also using his hike to raise donations to help a Mental Health organization. He is hoping to hike the trail later this year, although it appears more likely that it will have to wait until next year. David louie, abc7 news. And more disappointment. The 2020 Special Olympics have been postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak. And along with the games, all of their local events have been canceled. The Organization Says all events from now until the end of june will be canceled in order to help slow the spread of the virus. In northern california, thats over 150,000 athletes, families, and volunteers that are affected. The Special Olympics says it is working on developing online programs to keep their athletes engaged. Were taking this time as an opportunity to really enhance and provide robust virtual programing for athletes because we find that theyre like everybody else, theyre socially isolated and alone. And so we want to be there and support them during this difficult time frame. The beijing Special Olympics games are expected to return, however, in 2021. If you can, local restaurants are asking you to think about placing a to go order this weekend. Theyre desperate to keep their doors open. Every little bit helps a lot. Abc7 News ReporterAmy Hollyfield shows you what one relatively new establishment is doing to try to stay afloat. Downtown walnut creek looks so quiet. The restaurants usually bring such a fun energy to the area. Now some restaurants are trying to reinvent themselves during this pandemic and turn into takeout establishments. But it is not as easy as you may think. Its a complete pivot of your business model, you know. Even togo products, boxes and ramekins in these things. For a while we only had one phone line. So people couldnt get through. Its all these things. And the staffs job is suddenly completely different. Its hard. We just kind of like we did, we just did it. Canyon club brewery in moraga is trying it. And owner Kevin Hamilton says it is tough. He is worried we will lose some restaurants to the shutdown. A lot of places, and i understand this, just their staff, they said we cant do this. Weve got to stop. Were not really making any money on it, truthfully. But i can pay eight people a night. I can give little amounts to all our vendors and keep them in business because theyre feeling this 200 x. So hamilton and others who are trying this new model say they need your support more than ever right now. As you head into the weekend, theyre asking that you consider your Favorite Local spot. Buy a gift card that you can use in the future. Buy a tshirt, a hat, to go food, any little bit helps. Thinking restaurant just opened in august. It costs 1. 5 million to build this place. But in a sign of optimism, theyre now building an outdoor bar with all this time that they have. Theyre thinking that when people are allowed outside their homes, this place is going to be crowded. In moraga, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. People really struggling, but getting creative. There are going to be a lot of people pent up to get outside once this passes. Absolutely. And i think after this weekend, spencer going to warm up a little bit . We hope. That is true, ama and dan. Its going to be a nice week ahead to get outside. The weekend, however, a different picture. Lets take a look at live doppler 7. We have dry conditions right now. Lots of sunshine around the bay area at this moment. So lets take a look at our current temperature readings, looking across the bay from the exploratorium camera. Its 55 degrees in San Francisco. Oakland 60. We have mid to upper 50s at redwood city, san jose, gilroy and half moon bay. This is the view from the Golden Gate Bridge looking northward. You can see that we have a bit of sun there, but its getting a bit cloudier up in the north bay, which is where we expect the rain to begin first. Temperatures in the upper 50s at santa rosa and petaluma. 60 in napa. Mid to upper 50s at livermore and concord. Now looking at the shark tank in san jose, these are our forecast features. Weekend storm arrives overnight showers and rain into sunday evening. And a warmer pattern develops early next week. The approaching storm ranks 1 on the storm impact scale. A storm of light intensity. Tomorrow well see periods of showers sunday. Rainy conditions on saturday. Steadier, heavier rain in some spots than on sunday. And it will be breezy at times. Here sour forecast animation. Starting at 7 00 this evening, well see clouds increase, especially along the coast and up near the north bay. Some little spotty showers may develop before midnight. But it is actually after midnight that the system becomes more active and produces more widespread, but light showers mainly, going through the day tomorrow and into the evening. But tomorrow night into sunday morning, we get heavier, steadier more widespread rain. Its going to be a pretty wet day on sunday before it winds down sunday night. Rainfall totals. After the storm passes through, will generally range from a tenth of an inch in areas that dont get much rain up to over half an inch. Maybe 0. 6 in some locations. Now about tonight. Overnight lows as the clouds increase and the spotty showers develop. Well be mainly in the mid to upper 40s. A little chillier in the north bay valles, and then highs tomorrow. Breezy at the coast and highs will be mainly int the upper 50s just about everywhere. Of course at the coast a little chillier than that. But inland and around the bay, dont look for temperatures much above 58, 59 degrees. Monday, the warming begins. Tuesday well see more springlike, even above average temperatures with low 70s in many areas. Wednesday mid70s inland. Nice and mild by midweek next week. And here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. After our weekend storm, which once again ranks 1 on the storm impact scale, look for sunnier, dryer conditions on monday, and slightly milder, but much milder, much brighter, much more like what we think of as spring on tuesday and wednesday. And thursday or friday, not much change. Just slightly cooler, but all in all this looks like a sunny, dry, pleasant weekend. A good weekend to get outdoors and get a little activity, of course, keeping your social distance. Dan and ama . That will lift everyones spirits too, that nice weather. Absolutely.
