Estimates all but 5 of californias 58 counties are likely eligible to start relaxing guidelines in offering in restaurant dining in the coming weeks counties have to meet the new criteria to begin doing that and reopening schools of course all of this with modifications. The new criteria czar that counties have to be stable in their covid related hospitalizations and no more than 20 covid hospitalizations in the past 2 weeks and counties also have to have fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 residents. Over the last 2 weeks or less than a percent of tests coming back positive in the last 7 days. Pretty stringent. The governor though says that june looks to be more optimistic. Expect if we hold the rate. Transmissions we hold the Positivity Rate down we continue to do justice to the hospitalization icu numbers that will be making announcements statewide not just with the regional variances that would for retail not just to be picked up but in store retail to be loosened up. In addition to sporting events a pro sports. In that first a week or so of june without spectators and modifications and prescriptive also could begin to move forward. And as they move forward if they see an increase in hospitalizations are covid related problems thats when these counties he said well need to titan back up on restrictions and for now things like gyms tourism and entertainment those are still off limits thats all part. A phase 3. By the end of the week all bay area counties will be in phase 2 of their reopening lets take a look at where things stand this morning. Contra costa and alameda counties. Our beginning reopening allowing curbside real tale retail, they joined napa Solano Sonoma marin and San Francisco in sam, a tail. Theyre all in phase 2 Santa Clara County should be going into phase 2 by friday daryn mentioned Contra Costa County and phase 2 now so lets head out there kron fours will tran live in walnut creek. With how businesses are hoping to start serving customers today still down in a downtown broadway plaza. This is a perfect example, what the governor was talking about its open its not those enclosed malls and has a sidewalk people can walk up to the door and pick up their right and so we are moving deeper into phase 2 in Contra Costa County and Alameda County actually face to at this particular junction started 2 hours ago. This gives a little bit early for the workers to head back so they still have to practice social distance inside their stores. They wont be fully stocked like they once were with a full staff because people arent going and theyre not allowing that at this particular time you have to buy the items and then pick it up or if you probably point to the items because in walnut creek there are plenty of windows you can probably point to give them your credit card and then theyll walk it out to you. So its not back to what we were pre pandemic but its just that one more baby step to move forward and move forward, but every time you move forward dont forget to bring your mask. Theyre really asking folks this one i union street or the cooperative with that the guidelines not to do mass shaming but to lead by example and and uh you know follow all we use the term Face Coverings because its not always a medical grade mask, but it could be a band and it could be a scarf over your face and we do require at any time youre out in and youre are close to other people. Duryea james, its still baby steps because they cant put items on say the sidewalk and you walked by and not in the store to to get those items instead you have to buy it online so this perfect opportunity here. You can see some of the shoppers, some of the people heading inside it looks like the employees. So isnt that great news that why we didnt see this before but because now we deeper into phase 2. Non essential stories before was Grocery Stores and whatnot now nonessential employees it can get back to work at money in their pockets and people like you darya to start refunding your items. In fact i know i just want to the first time yesterday james yeah she had some returns to take care of thank you very much, well from there in the east bay, lets jump to the north bay we have Solano County now requesting the state fast track opening. Things like churches and Fitness Centers and museums, the countys Health Officer believes that those institutions and those businesses are at low risk for covid19 infections. It houses of worship operate with fewer people are sick. But certainly sugar, its other distancing just galleries control slow percent difference there. The increased risks are u. S. Senate seat this is just huge change. People taken and sent same sectors. First pitch in makes sense to us will not change change change. The doctor went on to clarify that hes not asking for fast tracking of businesses like hair salons and nail shops, he says those operations cannot function without physical distancing. In the south bay Santa Clara County is joining phase. 2 on friday county doctors say that the decision to move to this phase is based on indicators set out by the Area Health Officials including a stable or declining trend in covid cases stable or declining hospitalizations increased testing improve supplies of ppe and approve capacity for contact tracing. Were asking everyone in our community to do these 3 things one. Where a Face Covering when in public. And women any business. Continue to practice social distancing and remember 6 feet is a minimum thats a minimum and more is always better. And 3 get tested, get tested if you have symptoms if you have contact with someone who is known to have covid19 or if you work in a setting where you have frequent exposure to the virus or maybe unknowingly putting others at risk if you may be asymptomatic with the virus. Under the new rules, a Santa Clara County says that businesses have to put signs out showing they are in compliance with social distancing protocols.

A stunning announcement from President Trump saying hes taking daily doses of hydroxychloroquine despite multiple studies concluding it does not help treat the coronavirus and at least one showing it could cause heart problems hydroxychloroquine. When right now a couple weeks ago started take it in. Because i think its kind of heard a lot of good stories and if its not good, ill tell you right, youre not going to get hurt. But trump says he asked his position whether it was a good idea to take the drug as a preventive measure, i asked him what do you think you said well if youd like it and said you had like it i like to take a lot of people are taken overnight the white house doctor sending this memo mentioning trumps personal military ballets positive test earlier this month without explicitly linking it to why the president began taking hydroxychloroquine writing. We concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweigh the relative arrests. Trumps claim hes taking daily doses comes after weeks of promoting the antimalarial drug without proof it works so we know that event. If if things dont go planned its not going to. Kill anybody hydroxychloroquine. If youd like what we have to lose. The president often going against the advice of his own medical experts like defying cdc guidelines in march saying he would continue to shake hands, you cant be a politician and shake hands. Trump refusing to wear a Face Covering even while touring this mask manufacturer in arizona and at a press conference in the rose garden last week as many white house staffers looked on wearing them in the case of me im not a dime not close to anybody hes also mused aloud about other unconventional treatment ideas like using disinfectants that i see the disinfectant.

That was joe johns reporting House Speaker nancy pelosi also weighed in on the president s surprise announcement saying that he shouldnt be taking the drug because he does have several risk factors. Hes our president and i would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his shall we say week group had but hes morbidly obese. They say. So i i think that was its not a good idea.

The isolation, the uncertainty the questions can he keep his family safe when will it end. Well the struggle to deal with Mental Health challenges never ends. You have to work to management phelps says therapy literally saved his life. So doctor white lets save some lives. This morning. Good morning doctor ruth. All right so youve been virtually teaching usc classes for years now from a home in oakland. Youve been giving us Mental Health tips since the pandemic broke out there are a lot more therapists i noticed online these days and thats a real life saver. Yes, it is, i mean there that theres kind of no choice right so trying to provide Mental Health services for existing clients means that people are moving online. Now of course, its just like teachers are finding its not that simple sometimes to just move from face to face time line but at this there is no choice and so people are adapting to a new reality when it comes to be. Yes, so i know phelps pointed out talks base. Thats when he used he gave 500 months of free counseling to Health Care Workers on that night when i looked at a price i found so this is talk space. I also found one a lot actually for teens and kids there was one yelled teen therapy. So. What is it that we need help with i mean is it specifically anxiety depression is it just everybody could afford to be a better version of ourselves. I mean thats part of it, but its its important to understand that one in 5 americans experience Mental Health problems in any given year about one in 25 years about 10 Million People live with a serious Mental Illness at it with a serious Mental Illness and so ive been manang mine for for over 18 years also as weve talked about previously Kaiser Family foundation in their research has shown that almost 50 of amfricans are feeling a mental challenge you to covid19 cigna im reporting on increases in antianxiety medicine stop 34 increase marshall the in the last year so its clear that there is a problem w toe and the unite nations are also predicting that theres going to be sort of like a trail of Mental Health issues that come behind the covid19 crisis and of course this presents with a lot of challenges because its hard to find Mental Health services on a good day yeah and now were having to adopt and for some people they dont have the technology. A lot of people dont have privacy if you dont have privacy how do you do therapy do you know if youre trying to talk about Domestic Violence in your pardons there or you know your families around you need a private quiet confidence will stays to therapy and so thats been a challenge for people and they also say for example just admitting it to the public which was a huge thing i mean it was more than just tell mom or dad, he told everybody he had the struggles. That that help but he goes thats far from the end. He says theres no cure youll never be cured so what is it why is it so important to work on it with a therapist and not just pop a pill like a pill alone is not going to do it. Right i mean i talked to a scum like physical therapy right if you break an ankle you dont just you know sit down at home and say well, you know to see what happens. You go to the hospital you get it fixed, but then theres usually a period of physical therapy that goes along with making sure that youre still ok, so yes, youre taking painkillers but as we all know if you dont get the physical therapy youre going to have limited function and so therapies yes for people who you know want to be a better version of themselves thats fine but for a lot of people there piece saves their lives to be saved my life at one point and so its really important that people who are feeling particularly challenged with Mental Health issues seek out Mental Health services i mean its a second talks space theres better help theres one call a on a therapy thats for minorities and intersection of people and so theres a lot and you can go to psychology today dot com if ople want to find a therapist in their area and yes, you know over the online sessions. Theres also now phone sessions and i was talking to some of my social work colleagues and theyre talking about creating warm lines for example for Senior Citizens because im one of my one of my last el students she works the Alzheimers Association here in the bay area and she was saying that every single call shes getting from all people are talking about anxiety feeling scared, im feeling anger and so theyre creating warm line so were mines are not like crisis lines, but its a place where people can call and somebody will respond and have a conversation with them so its really important that people are struggling to try and find Health Services if you have Health Insurance you can call the Health Insurance lines. What im hearing is that theres a lot of wait time for that now because of the volume increase yeah and thats a real problem too so i mean i know its not perfect. But if you cant afford it or if you cant weed through it and if you cant find somebody i guess talking to anybody is better than talking nobody because yes what ive heard from my fair fuss is that like your mind i can tell you it at the wrong thing and tricky and then fall down the hole and if youre not talking to anybody else. Theres no voice but the crazy one in your head. Thats when you get into trouble. Yes, its really important because you know people can also reach out to their fate provider you know if they go to church and posture or whatever faith leader is they can have those conversations as well, but again, you know its really important for us to with our social support system when we need it not to feel embarrassed.
