We have governor Gavin Newsome taking additional action now to protect the homeless from the coronavirus kron fours will tran live in front of a homeless shelter along embarcadero in San Francisco with more on that will. James the homeless shelter is right behind me the executive order signed by Governor Newsom try step. Get ahead of the Tipping Point calling homeless. Perhaps the most vulnerable and if they get sick in huge numbers it could overrun the hospitals which is why he is spending million in emergency funds to try to get help. So the homeless in terms of Hotels Motels hes also getting 1300 emergency trailers from fema. The goal. Just like it is for any other thing with coronavirus to try to flatten the curve to give them space among the homeless, so one day dont get exposed to other people with coronavirus and if they are expose their corn team. In oakland, hes already got his hands on 400 hotel and motel rooms to get them in there for those who could be expose and if they are they will be there getting treatment to protect them and to protect the workers that Governor Newsome says the reason why he is spending so much money on the homeless. Because theyre the most vulnerable. Youre looking at 60 plus 1000 individuals that may. Have covid 19 that creates a deep. Point of anxiety for the existing population but moreover for our Health Care Delivery system our capacity to move people in and out of the shelter safely without contacting other people in putting them at risk as well. And right now james and area there about a 108,000 Homeless People in california and the governor believes if the hospital so overrun possibly as many as 12,000 homeless could either be exposed to coronavirus or come down positive. If you play out the numbers which is why he is spending the money immediately. 100 million about million well go to local governments obviously they know their territory much better than he does that money will be given to places like San Francisco to take Emergency Action to protect the homeless and lets face it to protect society ultimately all of us back to you. All right, thank you very much, well and a new warning from the cdc this morning we should tell you about its not just the elderly anymore getting hospitalized by coronavirus young people are affected as well. The cdc says people between the ages of 2044 are now making up about 20 of the hospitalizations that theyre seeing. They did however stress that the risk of dying is higher in older populations, the report did not say whether the patients had underlying conditions or other risk factors. Now the navy is also getting ready to launch to hospital ships to help ease capacity hospitals on land. One ship currently in san diego. The other is in norfolk, virginia. They would not treat coronavirus patients because theyre not bill to do that but they would ease the load by caring for other sick patients at hospitals so that would free up then hospital beds and icy wards for those that are suffering from coronavirus is there any. Light at the end of the tunnel and if you look to china. You can see it. They were the epicenter of the outbreak in now in wuhan they are now reporting no new cases its a first for that city since the outbreak and the strict actions that they took according to the latest numbers from Johns Hopkins university. There are now around the world, 218,000 cases more than 8,800 people have died from coronavirus but again if you look to wuhan thats where you see some good you know when they when they went to the lockdown and you calculate out the time a 1000 a january this is how long it takes to be able to see the social distancing and all the things were doing begin to pay off italy still in the midst of it now theyre entering their 4th week of the worst crisis since world war 2 there. The number of cases in that country is rising at about 3,000 new cases every day and the death toll in italy has top now 2,500 right now more than 60 Million People in italy are under lockdown in the us were getting close to 10,009 1400 cases and the death toll is a 150 in california. 870 cases was 16 deaths so far. And as in the bay area we look at the numbers there are 400 cases of coronavirus and 7 people have died.

In San Mateo County they have 80 cases, one person has died. In San Francisco county 51 41 in contra costa alameda, 31 marin county 15 Solano CountySonoma County 8. And again at napa and lake county at this point not reporting any cases, were waiting for more widespread testing and i was just reading of the military has just got about a half a million test they just flew into tennessee. So those are going to be dispersed and we will see more and more testing as every day rolls by speaking of lake county a shelter at home order went into effect at midnight. This morning for 3 weeks there and napa and solano counties. They are also sheltering in place in solano the order is in effect napa shelter at home begins friday. And you can go outside socialdistancing is required if your essential business worker you still go to work. People still what a Grocery Store says the same kind of where that we have here in the bay area. Theyre just jumping on with that with that shelter in place order. And schools shut down by the coronavirus might not reopen until fall, but each district is sort of reacting to that possibility differently some schools do have plans to reopen after 3 weeks others though say theyll probably stay closed until summer san joses east Side Union HighSchool District superintendent chris funk believes the Current School year. Probably done. But school year. If or she.
