Well james online on a target in San Francisco where you know we were told that they would only let in for the first to our elderly people and those with compromised immune systems, however, a line here is they just opened of like about a dozen people of all ages ranging from a b 30 years old to 70 yearolds lets say and then they let everybody and so its kind of interesting because we were told a list of stores, were just going to have specific hours worked just the elderly can get in and that way they would not have to be in the hustle and bustle they could get the top go to that stuff right where they needed and everything would be full and they would have to deal with empty shelves but this is what im seeing here. The target in San Francisco. So quite interesting. But all call figure that out but for now lets take a look at this list you can see some of the other stores that are claiming to do this and we kind been waiting for this because weve seen a lot of elderly people trying to get through the lines, its been very chaotic, but whole foods says that theyll even hour before open just for these people safely will have time so side from 7 until 9 tuesdays and thursdays as i said target was supposed to have the first tower being open just for the elderly as well as dollar but again lot to say about and Dollar General is going to this as well so that theyre not the first people to do there was a local store in san jose. So not those market and they were ahead of the curve they made sure that they can get elderly people in and out they need they describe to us how it all worked. Pace with us during this process because im charted waters for all of us, but we have a lot of needs are deli items arts. We have so many wonderful homemade items that take grabbing go and stuff like that so it allowed her to get in and out of the starting rate. And that is great news because its really hard when you are not even elderly just the younger person healthy you and you have to go in theres people trying to push of trying to get that well a paper they need they can be very stressful and these people to get in and out youre looking at a live look of target here in San Francisco, the doors are open and before they let about a dozen people in line in the heard them announce that they have told the paper paper towels and sanitation wipes 3 of the most crucial things people have been looking for so thats good news. So if you need those things they have it here and then also limiting each item. 4 per person so that it doesnt is run out right away and people dont horde.

Thats what it felt like wheres everybody are we the last people on earth. Keeping us safe social distance has advised by Health Officials i talked with a few people out here about what they were witnessing. I feel is the right way the right thing to do because it will go by fast and ever.

Security guards patrol, the empty plaza. A few curious people drove by in cars and passed by on bikes. It is wild. To see too. Right around downtown wannacry can see a completely empty. And the signs the retail stores. Theres also a lot of restaurants in this area, but weve not seen anyone go in to any of the restaurants, even though they could be offering take out it is just that bleak out here. Here wannacry theresa kron 4 news. Notice in that story how teresa was not holding the mike for people and getting close. They held at this infected at hand it back disinfected because this thing is getting bigger Johns Hopkins university now says there are 200,000 cases of infected people with coronavirus around the world and here in the bay area. We have 300 confirmed cases and on the rise there 6 deaths so far and the bay area, heres the breakdown county by county. Santa clara county is suffering the most and a 155 cases so far 5 people have died in San Mateo County 64 people have tested positive and one person has died. San francisco county has 43 confirmed cases, 39 in contra costa 27 in Alameda County marine county has 15 coronavirus cases confirmed Solano County has 9 people with the virus. Sonoma county has 6. And now not reporting anybody or infected. Testing positive. But you know that thats going to change we have not seen widespread testing yet at this point youve been told to act like you have it and are exhibiting symptoms and act like everybody else does too. And thats how were going to do was socially isolate stay away from each other and hopefully stop the spread. Things are getting worse as far as the school kids to the governor of california already hinted that we might not have and go back to school for the rest of the school year and kansas has already made that hard decision they have decided the kids will not return to the classrooms for the rest of the Academic Year our governor warned about that possibility yesterday kron fours will tran is live with the latest well. Daria the reason why governor newsome has not followed kansas yet because he knows schools are very important to low income families from meals but hes not taking it off the table that he too might sign an executive order to close the school year down and let the kids just ride it out going to summer and then come back to fall, right now schools like Lowell High School in San Francisco, they already voluntarily shut down a couple of days ago, shut down for 3 weeks up to a month just to create social distance to try to flatten the curve for the coronavirus now the governor said that dont expect to come back probably even at the end of the 3 weeks to a month because he knows this thing is getting out of hand in his first audience was his daughter his daughter mrs. School her friends but he had to tell his daughter thats probably not going to be the case because they want to create social distance. He realizes its going to be very tough for a lot of families who not only rely on the schools for meals but rely on the schools to take care of the kids while they go to work and try to put food on the table. The governor says right now everything is on the table. Let me be candid. This is a very sober thing to say and i can say this with certainty but i can say this quite learned late. Dont anticipate schools are going open up in a week. Please dont anticipate in a few weeks and i say that because one needs to be honest and i need to be accountable to you i want to mislead you to 6 plus million kids and our system and their families they need to make some plans at a time when a lot of plans are already being curtailed the planning with kids and some of the most challenging planning i would plan in assume, and its unlikely. That many of these few if will open up before the summer break. He also said that if they do not return for this school year that he will try to turn a lot of the buildings that obviously will not be occupied physically by the students in lets face it theyre still in school or are they doing online classes that he said that he will try to turn a lot of the buildings into Day Care Centers bring in the personnel to help the parents who need to go to work to make ends meet. Hes also going to waive the standardized tests for a lot of the students who rely on them to go to college that will be waived as well and hes actually praising President Trump theyve been very combative throughout the years but hes actually praising President Trump to try to get federal funding because without schools, the School District to the whole system wide they lose money because without the kids in school they dont get funding so lot of things in play the governor says hes not taking this lightly but in this particular case coronavirus is the call of the day he says he has to make sure everybody is safe back to work to get personal for second. Well, i mean my kid is and a senior. As seniors probably over i dont know whats happening with college. A milder daughter had to return from her college in scotland. With this travel stuff going on how about your kids theyre younger. My kids are in 5th grade i pick them up right after i get off from work so i watched them and i got to tell every teacher right there. You guys are rock stars to be home with your children during this time is very difficult i make them do their online work. But lets face it, they dont listen to parents is massive monthly their teachers so its been very difficult for a lot of people but because of our shift thank goodness, im able to do that i sympathize with the parents out there who either have to go to work and then take that money james and darya and pay the babysitters so theyre making it just the push for them at this point the whole thing yeah if theyre lucky enough to still have a job to go to. They can home school their kids or the probably home and theyre not going to work in which case theyre all home in. One boat together all right, its a its a difficult and complicated problem. Thanks.
