Uncovered of covid19 cases, 859 people have now died. Governor newsom said the state reported its highest death toll yesterday at 71, today there were 63 deaths. Santa clara, the bay areas hardest hit kenny is reporting a big increase in new cases and one more death. There are 71 new cases in the county bringing the total to 1793. The death toll there now stands at 71. Santa clara county Health Officers say that daily increase in the number of cases and deaths is proof that the county is not yet out of the woods. Our collective action as slow the spread, but we have to keep at it. It is not the time to let up. If we let up, what we will see is a resurgence in cases, this has been the experience in other parts of the world, and weve been watching this pattern carefully. The Health Department also says there are 76 covid19 patients in intensive care units in hospitals in Santa Clara County. Santa clara county has also seen increases in the number of cases and deaths involving independent living facilities. The county refuses to disclose where 15 deaths took place, and that has some experts now sounding an alarm. County Officials Say an expected increase in covid19 cases in nursing home and assisted living facilities follows an overall rise in cases countywide. The county is taking seriously any cases or suspected cases in a congregant setting. People were living beyond a single household. There are 300 cases, 40 hospitalizations and 15 deaths due to the coronavirus, but Santa Clara County officials will not identify which care facilities are reporting fatalities. I think that is making the situation worse, because some Nursing Homes are trying to cover up that they have the virus. Dr. Charlene harrington is a former professor who also once headed the state program for Nursing Homes. She says transparency protects staff and informs family. In Alameda County, gateway care and Rehabilitation Center in hayward is under investigation for the county da. This, since 11 residents have died since the coronavirus outbreak hurried Alameda County providing daily updates on the number of deaths and where they take place. Santa clara county does not. People have a right to transparency, and its important to make people be able to protect themselves. Experts say the fact that there are 15 deaths content only by facility type, not name, isnt an indication of wrongdoing or code violations. The coronavirus is socially and politically agnostic hurried right, any organization is liable to the effects of the virus. No matter how well run and organization is, that interjection into that organization of the virus can wreak havoc. Still, some say the more information is publicly available, the more people can protect their loved ones during this pandemic. I really think each county needs to release the names of the facility where the virus is. People are not protecting themselves properly, and they dont know that the virus is actually inhome, they will not be as careful. We just received updated numbers from Alameda County, two more people have died at the gateway care and Rehabilitation Center in hayward, bringing the total number of deaths there to 13.

The app will allow people to keep track of their symptoms and check in with people who are monitoring their conditions. Also, determine whether or not they should or should not be tested.

This capacity will enable us to move forward as a city now, and after the shelter in place order is lifted.

Pretty warm out there today, 85 degrees in fairfield, like i said, so that is up there, just 5 degrees short of 90 degrees today. It was cooler coast side today, a little bit of an onshore flow, and by tonight and tomorrow morning i suspect we will see the fog returning. It already is in some cases. So that is the cooling mechanism, the winds are onshore, and for the last few days weve seen this kind of a wind, which is the warm direction, but now they are blowing in the direction that they will definitely cool us off. Some clouds are coming a little closer, sitting offshore, you can see that cumulus clouds popping in, maybe even a little shower activity associated with it. We are expecting cloud cover for the next few days. Partly cloudy, partly sunny and that sets you up with a cooler pattern. Instead of 85 in fairfield tomorrow, we will probably hit 80 degrees. Most places will be in the mid 70s, Something Like that, so slightly cooler.
