States and around the world. The tireless work to develop a new vaccine to prevent this novel serious and life threatening disease in an expedited time frame after its emergence is a true testament to scientific innovation and Public Private collaboration worldwide President Trump reportedly gave commissioner hahn an ultimatum either approve the vaccine by the end of the day today or resign. Heres what the president had to say about the vaccine announcement. Today our nation has achieved a medical miracle. We have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months. This is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history. It will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all. As for the next step a Cdc Advisory Committee is poised to recommend who is first in line for the vaccine as we have been reporting health workers, Nursing Homes and similar essential workers will be first to get it. The general public will not likely see the vaccine before spring time and that is assuming that there are no manufacturing glitches. Governor Gavin Newsome is also praising the fda emergency approval. He posted this message after the decision was made explaining what it means for california. Just a few minutes ago the fda approved the Pfizer Vaccine which is great news and its great news for all californians 327,600 doses now being shipped in real time to the state of california body. How many years can actually Governor Newsom also toured a vaccine Storage Facility at u c davis today, the refrigerator is looking at. Can store about a 150,000 doses. Here in the bay area we can expect about 75,000 doses of the vaccine initially. Alameda county is set to receive almost 14,000 doses 10,000 for Contra Costa County. Both marine and napa counties will likely be given just under 2000 doses each San Franciscos expecting its first allocation to be 12,000 while San Mateo County figures to get almost 6,000. Santa clara county is expected to get just over 17,000 and nearly 8,000 doses for Solano County sonoma counties expecting almost 5,000 doses. While the vaccine does require 2 doses officials are being told not to hold any back for second round shots. Well now that the Pfizer Vaccine is approved hospitals are facing the challenge of figuring out how to store and distribute it the more than 75,000 doses initially that. A Health Care Supply chain expert says the biggest problem is that the drug must be kept at negative 70 degrees celsius and Many Health Care systems do not have stores facilities which can do that. Experts say another legitimate concern people stealing the vaccine to resell at a profit. Were also that theres going to be a significant black as the vaccines are not product to sell at high but also introduction of counterfeit products into the supply chain. It is important to remember that once the vaccine is widely available it will be offered for free and as for the storage concerns well, the Pfizer Vaccine is the main one that needs to be stored at this extremely cold temperature. The Coast Guard Base in alameda will be one of 16 military bases to receive shipments of the Pfizer Vaccine. The pentagon will receive slightly fewer than 44,000 doses with Health Care Workers Emergency Service personnel and residents of military retirement homes, getting top priority. Some pentagon leaders will be getting their shots and public to help demonstrate confidence in the vaccines safety and coming up tonight at 1030 well be joined live by doctor Peter Chinhong to talk more about the safety of the vaccine. The vaccines approval could not have come at a more critical time for the bay area, heres where each of the 9 county stand tonight in terms of available icu beds, according to each countys Health Department Alameda County with a population of 1. 7 Million People has the highest Number Available was 70 then comes Contra Costa County with 38. There are 35 available in San Francisco and santa clara counties 29 in San Mateo County Solano County has 15 9 in and sonoma counties and that the county has 4 and since the vaccine will not be widely available for several months its approval will not provide any immediate relief for hospitals, local Health Officials are giving a grim outlook on how hospital bed capacity is dwindling to distressingly low levels. So seen a significant increase in numbers but its actually worse than what were experiencing before because we are seeing across all ages, not just younger people. So were seeing a lot more in the way of hospital bed use icu bed years and were on for chasing or fatalities as well, but we feel that we could not wait until then to take action. Need to act now before things get worse for us in Sonoma County. Right now bay area capacity is that just 16. 7 along with northern california. We are the only 2 regions to remain above the 15 icu bed threshold that would require that stay at home order the greater Sacramento Region is now under the new restrictions and that includes the lake tahoe area meantime the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California regions are almost completely out of beds this all comes as california set another singleday record for covid infections. 35,468 today marks the 8th consecutive day of more than 22,000 new cases. And the 3rd day over that span of more than 30,000 cases statewide the virus killed another 159 people and put 37 more people in icu beds, more than 20,000 people have died in california since the pandemic began in just a couple of hours Sonoma County will be joining most of the rest of the bay area in an acting a stay at home order.

The new orders will force the shop to close up until at least january and the timing could not be worse, its just going to really set us back financially a time just massively its. Weve already about 3 months worth of work in just the month of december covid19 data shows daily cases have doubled in Sonoma County over the last 2 weeks and icu bed capacity is being threatened stabbing at some hospitals like santa rosa memorial has also become an issue the icu bed capacity compass in this was getting to a critical level the hospitals are seeing a lot of Covid Patients Sonoma County supervisor David Rabbitt says he would have opted for no hard closures in an effort to curb the covid search Outdoor Dining and operations at wineries breweries and nail salons well also have to stop under the new restrictions retail can remain but 20 capacity lot of businesses are going to fail and thats just and i think this time of year, especially switching to only takeout will take a big bite out of cucina parody sos business on an employees going to go home.

It hasnt rained in about a month last time it rained november 18th so certainly a lot of the oils have built up on the roads again and if these first rains and its going to be extra slick out there on the highway so take extra care out there right now you can see not just here but all around the central parts of california and that snow spreading up in the Sierra Nevada and that rain coming down outside right now in pockets and boy it has really been coming down in spots in the south bay.

The United States has given the final go ahead to the nations first Covid Vaccine launching an emergency vaccinations in a bid to end this pandemic of course this means that the Companies Pfizer and germanbased biontech have clear the last regulatory hurdle before distribution to the public the fda issuing an emergency use authorization for what is now the fastest develop vaccine in history. And doctors want to assure the public it is safe. So lets talk to one of those doctors were joined now by doctor peter, chinhong and Infectious Disease expert at ucsf doctor thanks for joining us. So there are some people out there maybe a 3rd or so who our real has a tent and say they dont think theyre going to get the vaccine when he tell them. Well i first of all time can that i totally understand where theyre coming from this is a really fast moving and improved vaccine. And in the middle of the air we were afraid that it would be rollout too soon because it was a Political Year and there were rumors that it was being used for political capital. But i must say that the operation warp speed part is not about the science. Its about the bureaucracy that was this in order that it will be approved very quickly after the data was presented. So the science sped up. Just that bureaucracy was cut down. So doctor now that the rollout is going to begin what are your biggest concerns there are so many different little pieces to this Distribution Process with the timing and the temperature and you know on and on what are your biggest concerns at this point. My biggest concerns time is that it would be a little bit how has it when it goes out to the general community. I think in the it probably will be fairly orderly because his numbers will be small for example at beginning about a 1000 in the free throw out then every week that well be getting more about one to 2 million but come to by the end of this year and their 2 Million Health workers Health Care Workers so. You know that part will be relatively straightforward is when it goes to the rest of the community with walgreens cent. Cbs said different races that you can get in the dry ice, the freezers the syringes, the you guessed that aol so a lot of moving parts cost a lot of money and we in not great with distribution early in the as the shots do trickle out and make their way eventually to the broader public. We got that. Time period where. Yet your average person on the street is going to be able to get that shot until maybe the spring or summer and theyre seen you know some people getting the shots are you concerned about people perception or added to changing about the masks and social distancing while they know that some people are getting shot said maybe they dont have to be as careful. Yes, i think were all worried about that in the hospital itself were not going to change any of our universal masking and we were very clear to say that several reasons why first of all even though the in the video will be takes sometimes to 20 after the second shot. The second reason is that there is no yet that the individual gets noxon 8 it wouldnt be able to transmit covid to somebody else as a factor. So again protecting the community is going to be important continue wearing all this mass. Can you help us understand this youre seeing a lot of protests about the shutdown of Outdoor Dining. We saw the playgrounds will reopen by the state they said the kids could go out on the playground were seeing people able to go to the malls and the stores. Even though theres reduced capacity. Nonetheless these businesses say this is not fair that we have to close at our restaurants have to closure so many people lose their jobs. What do you say to them to make them understand why it is necessary to job the Outdoor Dining. Well i think im its all a matter of you know an emergency measure right now all right now in the hospitals in some counties like in the central valley. And im just 0 icu beds and you know i think were just this is very different from. February i knew that folks many of my friends and colleagues well, a Small Businesses. But again you know these are e extreme measures for extreme times and. Hopefully with the vaccine and with these measures like what happened in france and in melbourne. We can flatten the curve 10 around the corner and so i you know enjoying that one whether the new year hopefully yeah looks like were closer to the ends in the beginning so thank you for your time doctor, peter chin, hong ucsf we appreciate your expertise on this subject.

But as we get into sunday there it is this the main event thats going bring a several hours of steady rain across the bay area i think starting about 6 oclock in the morning on sunday morning to about 10 that will probably start to break off in the showers and then as we get to tuesday another week front works its way toward the bay area slight chance of rain drop in the north bay when the models want to bring more substantial rain and then another chance as we get in toward the following sunday. So that we keep things going here thanks thing unsettled and wet in fact the more raindrops on the way weve already seen over half an inch in parts of the north bay mountains and another 3 course an issue through sunday, so nice sight to see lets keep it going and looks like we will well keep things unsettled and possibly wet, weve got more rain expected on sunday, a break on monday slight chance in the north bay i think on tuesday.
