832 beds are available. 33 capacity. However hospitals are on track to go way passed this. Over 100 in three weeks. And skyrocketing in San Francisco and the peninsula. San francisco and right now in re. They could go purple as soon as this sunday. Ma rin plans to remain red. Those three still in red will not be under the states new curfew. Every other bay area county will. In fact, 94 of the state will be under this curfew. Which begins tomorrow night. It lasts for a month. No nonessential activity between 10 00 p. M. And 5 00 a. M. Among the many take aways, change your thanksgiving plans. We begin the coverage. Start with hospitalizations. Which here in the county jumped by 50 in the last week alone. County Officials Say at that rate if nothing changes, local hospitals will reach capacity in three weeks. Which led Santa Clara County to repeat this warning. Cancel your holiday plans. Dont travel. Saying covid cases are now at record levels here. Today we have had more cases reported than we have ever had. At any other time in the pandemic. 407 cases. County leaders pleading with everyone to do the right thing. Think about loved ones. Protect ourselves and them. By just wearing a mask. Stand six feet apart. Social distance. Have your thanksgiving outside. Next door, the county currently in the red tier. Says it too is preparing for the purple tier curfew. Because the virus doesnt respect county lines. Its serious. Everyone forecasted that we were going to see this spike. Its nothing that should be a surprise. The advice may sound repetitive. Its just as critical as its always been. My daughter is here showing her mask. It is so vitally important. That we continue to wear a mask. Businesses are bracing for another pandemic challenge. Tomorrow night that statewide cur few goes into effect. It will impact the purple tier. At 10 00 p. M. And will go until 5 00 a. M. Bars and restaurants are preparing to close earlier than usual. Business owners are already hurting by forcing operations outside. And worry the curfew will make it harder to stay afloat. We have to close earlier people have to get home by 10. We lose revenue. Bills dont get paid. We count on that money friday and saturday nights. Also worried people will stop coming out all together. They will have to go out earlier. The Public Health director is warning the city could move into the states purple tier. If the surge continues. That would mean the city would be under the state curfew. And the operation of more indoor businesses would be shut down. We sort it all out. San francisco is currently assigned to the red tier. Department of Public Health director warns that current covid cases are surging. If we continue on the trajectory, in quadrupling of cases over a month. Our Healthcare System could be struggling to deal with the burden of the virus. That has the city edging towards the purple tier. Possibly as soon as sunday. Just three weeks ago we were in the state least restrictive tier. Yellow. Now we are on track to be in the most restrictive. This is indicative of how fast this virus is spreading. We can change the course of the surge. Heading into thanksgiving hes urging people not travel. But stay home and flatten the curve. Indoor operations at museums, places of worship and gyms would stop. It will crush us. They do have out door operations but not all locations. With the weather its cold. Its not ideal. We have moved Fitness Equipment outside. Weight machines, squat racks. The works. Its big. But you can only have so many people in there as once. And implement a curfew. A requirement in the purple tier. Limiting nonessential work and gathering at 10 00 p. M. That will shorten the dining dinner period substantially. Most people are taking reservatio reservations up until 9 30. Theyre already limited to out door dining. Guests need to be finished by 10 00 p. M. Restaurants might not be able to take reservations passed 8 30. Some silver lining. We are fairing better than other parts of the country. San francisco and north dakota. Populations are similar. Look at the drastic case difference. In San Francisco, 14,000 cases since the pandemic began. North dakota 70,000 cases. San francisco adopted the mandatory mask policy. Back in june. North dakota started a mask policy last week. The race for the Covid Vaccine continues. Latest trial is happening now. Here in the bay area. This time theyre focusing on teenagers. Younger teenagers.

That was in adults only. And we heard that it was 95 effective. Its expanding to teenagers and hospitals are helping to take part in that. That includes kaiser. Locally. And have been testing it on 16 and 17 yearolds and expanding to younger kids. They want to expand it to include 12 to 15 yearolds. 17 yearold lives in and her parents participated in the adult vaccine trial. She signed up for the teen study. She says she wants to be part of the solution. Teenagers are one of the most irresponsible during the pandemic. My parents have both already done it. They only had like slight flu symptoms for a day. I knew thats probably the worst that would happen to me. I didnt feel in danger. The study will run for two years. Healthcare proride r says it will enroll 100 participant ins the 16 to 17 yearold age group and 100 in the 12 to 15 age range. Everyone as the studies continue, pfizer submitted an application to the fda for emergency use authorization. Allowing the public to get vaccinated. If it is approved, within weeks. End of the year. We could see the first vaccination going out to front line healthcare workers and people most at risk. This vaccine process is moving quickly. We have reached this point. And people could get vaccinated end of the year. The public. Thats a few weeks away. Thank you. What about the millions of californiaens unemployed or under employed because of the pandemic .

We first reported it this morning. He joins us now from the latest. The under sheriff has been put on administrative leave as he faces serious criminal charges related to the issuing of gun permits to political donors. Quickly worked up the ranks from sergeant to second in command. At the sheriff office. Hes become the highest ranking person in the department to face a criminal indictment. In connection with to allegations that someone was trading concealed carry gun permits for political donations to the sheriff. Its a blemish on the badge. Garcia says while he is sad about the indictments. Hes not surprised. The way they gave the permits out was a little bit i would say not like other agencies. Like in fresno. So far the alleged scheme led to charges against a prominent attorney. A sheriff captain and now the under sheriff. Its the sheriff who signs off on the gun permit. She should be cautious. Legal analyst says sheriff smith should be worried. He believes the District Attorney is methodically building a case. The way the indictments were being brought seems to suggest theyre working up the ladder. To be clear the sheriff hasnt been accused of wrong doing. And in a statement she said her department is committed to maintaining the highest level of public trust. And safety is the highest priority. Its a sad day for law enforcement. This is another hit to the department. The rank and file will continue to do their job to the highest standard. Despite all the turmoil. These indictments follow the exclusive reporting from our investigative unit. We exposed the link between the permits and contributions to the sheriff political campaign. Heres senior investigator.

Comparing a list of those who got a coveted concealed carry weapons permit with a separate list of those people who contributed to sheriff smiths political campaign. The numbers show if you contributed to her campaign over the years, you were about 14 times more likely to get a rare permit. Than if you didnt contribute. According to sheriff records that we obtained, 749 residents applied for a new permit. Between 2014 and 2018. Most applicants were not campaign contributors. And for those nondonors about 5 were approved for a permit. Then there were the 28 people who did donate. Either in their own name or indirectly. Such as through a company or family member. They success rate in landing a permit . 79 . Ccw licenses shouldnt be given in exchange for donations. They are not for sale. The dritranscripts show 19 different witnesses.
