S. Has set another record for the most covid related deaths in a single day with more than 3100 people dying. From the virus yesterday alone and now for the First Time Ever more than 100,000 americans are in the hospital right now with coronavirus nearly 20,000 of them are in the icu. And this morning, california is setting records as well, yeah across 4 Sarah Stinson live in San Francisco with more on those latest number sarah. Yesterday was a grim day in california cases are rising rapidly we saw a 20,000 case rate increase yesterday 20,000 more cases yesterday that breaks anyone director weve seen in california. This is what weve been working so hard to avoid unfortunately. Were seeing that second wave and this wave is way stronger than the first wave, what we were you know, staying at home for in the beginning were seeing the worst case scenario. So now its time to really as i keep saying hunker down as we know our quarantine governor Gavin Newsome hes con4idering a stay at home order. So that is something that is looming above us in the bay area things are not looking good either at at all with marine county still being the only county in the purple tier case rates hospitalizations rising every day according to a quarantine governor said governor gavin newsom hes considering placing nearly this 40 million residents under a tough state home order. He fears that the staggering coronavirus surge could swamp our Hospital System just within weeks a day by january governor newsome says hes staying at home after 3 of his children were exposed to the virus as we know and he says hes considering this drastic action if numbers dont improve and as we see theyre not improving this could be very similar to our midmarch lockdown that closed many businesses and had people at home. Only leaving for essential task now to bay area doctors agree with shutting things down saying it could really help get this under control before the end of the year. Families getting together indoors individuals houses is another way the virus has probably taken off over the last several weeks. So again just some type of a modified order that would at limit people going to other peoples houses what were seeing today reflects what happened 2 weeks ago. And so we know by looking at the case Positivity Rate and by the trends. That if you shut things down or pull back some today that will influence what we see in mid december. And thats what we need we need improvements in these case rates because otherwise as weve heard or hospitals will be overrun and theyre already overrun over 2000 people in icu across our state and that leaves a lot less beds if cases continue to rise and more people get hospitalized know. Governor newsome has already placed a curfew on 51 of the 58 counties that curfew literally just lifted at 5 in the morning is when it lifts everywhere and this 51 counties la just placed on a lockdown will the state be on a lockdown well well have to continue to follow that for now i think its important for us all to stay home as much as possible anyways reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron 4 news night.
