Sheltering in your home has been an adjustment for many but for victims of Domestic Violence, it can be increasingly dangerous in the midst of the covid19 and then next, those most victims of violence in the home that are at increased risk people are stocked with their chance go out into the community to seek in the places they normally would San Francisco Officials Say during the first week of the shelter in place they saw a sharp increase in requests for Domestic Violence services. Only to see that drop off the next week. To many other experts and Community Partners its a troubling sign that the request had dropped off and it shows us people who are at home with abusers are having a hard time reaching out for help. Someone who might have been coming in and participating in support groups are seeing a peer counselor or you any number of local resources and now those things may not be available to them in the same way. And im so theyre really isolated now the da along with the Mayors Office has reached an agreement with Real Estate Investment manager verot us. To provide 20 Furnished Apartments for survivors of Domestic Violence and i think that thats going to be very useful as as this stretches on the need for additional and additional safe housing and safe shelter is just going to grow.

The department should be ready by weeks end survivors and their families will be able to stay there rent free for up to 90 days. In San Francisco. Dan kerman kron 4 news. We have things in the works that are going to really i think fire the country coming up President Trump says he has plans to jumpstart the countrys economy plus when people can expect those Economic Relief checks in the middle of this pandemic theres still a president ial election going on joe biden is a nominee but who will be his v p we talk with california senator Kamala Harris about her it is definitely the then heart i am a single parent. And a single mom says with no school shes become her sons teacher which is especially challenging because what we do now will forever change our tomorrow. So lets do the right thing, today. Lets stay at home. Lets wash up. Lets always keep our distance please, six feet apart at least. Lets look after ourselves, as well as others. It will all be worth it. We can all do our part. So those on the front line can do their part. And when this is over, we will all, continue, to thrive. Our live conversation with san jose mayor sam liccardo as we mentioned Santa Clara County has the most coronavirus cases in the bay area. And in the county san jose has the most with 958 cases all right we have air on the phone now its a lot to say for connection for us america, thanks again for being with us. Were trying to start off by asking you where things stand in san jose in particular was this coronavirus pandemic and really were looking at 2 Different Things we have a big Health Crisis for one and san jose is at the epicenter of that in the bay area and we have a big economic crisis. Its affecting the whole country so where are we right now in san jose. That certainly theres plenty of concern here about both as there is throughout the bay area and weve got a lot of families who are struggling well before this pandemic or struggling more now but ive been really hard to see how cute is altogether. Since we last cellcom bally strong more than 2700 volunteers or jumping out there to help deliver food to seniors and others need help a more than million has been raised just out surgery, some folks in the san jose it was just incredible how the commutes are just very people screw. A maryland car dont do you have any sudden oh this is still you know such an ongoing an intense situation, but the eu and county officials have any sense of why Santa Clara County has the highest numbers of coronavirus cases in the bay area have you had any analysis that sheds light on that. Well id be speculating a and im certainly not the expert here, but if i were to speculate on guessing. No were International Reach and obviously that means people from around the world come here and that makes what we are which is an incredibly dynamic place probably vibrant diverse place but obviously extended all faster too. We have a a viewer question from giovanni who asked this what resources is the county planning to develop year the city mair but do you know if the county or the city are planning to develop any resources to help those who will not be getting a stimulus package of some kind. I will not be able to call 5 for example for unemployment. Assistance and other programs. Thats why we started this all kind of the strong find in part was because we knew thered be a lot of gaps we need to fill now weve got more than million and net so far thats nowhere near need. We have thousands of families are applied that still are not able to get assistance and so and they keep a beating the bushes really grateful. For cisco as Ceo Chuck Robbins and many others in stepping up in a big way. A maryland car dont for minority communities, all face take a more of a tougher hit Something Like this happens. And of course as that karim in this case as well in many instances. Santa clara county has decided not to publish the cases by race or ethnicity, although they do. Published the case the number of cases but not the only the death by ethnicity and race, im wondering wouldnt be helpful to have that information to encourage those communities to stand by the cdc guidelines that are so important for us to bin this curve. Well i think more information is always the counties dont incredible job it be our to ensure that we shutting things down as we need you to keep people safe. I would assume that when they happened and what theyre going to be able to provide more data but yes after importance essential for us to understand this and i dont think anyone would be surprised to know the communities of color. The immigrant communities are really severely impacted by this and we all we can to support them. There are a lot of businesses as you well know that are really facing hard times right now and a lot of them are trying to get the Economic Resources promised by the federal government to assist them but they cant get through the bureaucracy of even getting an application filled out for some of these things whats your advice for those folks. Brutally hard im hearing awful stories whether its unemployment assistance us yea loans or ppp programs for players are just trying to keep people on their payrolls. We know its been very challenging were going to be standing up an independent hotline in the next few days to try to help folks at least by some about how best to you and get the applications still now we dont have a magic wand. 6 the backlog right now if the federal level. But certainly we are going to continue along with several other mayors we were hostin gates with it. Federal elected officials a meme know and theyre hearing loud and clear from uh theres a lot to fix here. So i i was going to ask that next about your communication with the federal san jose do feel is preparing for any surge that could occur and also what is your communication been live with the federal government. The white house has received a great deal of criticism for not responding in ways its helpful to cities and counties and states across the country. Where most direct communications rafy my you know the ground though i think a lot of those folks that very clouded with doing all they can to help but its no secret that weve got a severe deficit. And our federal Public Health infrastructure. And its got to be fixed quickly and if were going to be able to get past this period where everything is shut down and really in fact were impoverishing millions of people throughout this country the only way were going to do it despite dramatically ramping up and the identification and and of folks who are covid positive and when i doing all the things that us countries are affected are doing in places like taiwan and singapore, where theyve dramatically. Reduce the impacts to Economic Impacts of this pandemic. It is san jose ready for a surge should it occur. Weve you know, ive been on the phone every morning with county officials they are working seriously weve had great support from a lot of private sector partners, to the Leadership Group is leading efforts to that were going to have enough pp not respirators or ventilators i should say. Now i feel confident were doing everything we possibly can. Time will tell but from what i can tell the early efforts weve made have and bending the curve. I will know a lot more the next week. What about the testing a what is the problem in getting that has so when the president is says the tests are out there and that people can get those tests. But i ive been reaching out to companies that are stationed here in san jose with International Presence fortunately there are plenty. Their supply lines to get asked from south korea and taiwan tell you something about the state our domestic Public Health infrastructure when were need to go abroad to get these tests every city is doing this right now is every county is in and i think we recognize we need or a more. More powerful federal president s leadership, not effort. So what are you afraid of is you as a leader in your community what what keeps you up at night and in terms of moving forward attacking this fires. Confident that the county is doing everything they can do and were back incredible. Ration with the Community Private sector ensure we got the resources address the worst impacts of this fire is what im really concerned about the Economic Impacts has really we know thousands of families have been impoverished already and weve got to do everything we can to support those who are struggling without a chair. Really concerned about the responsiveness of the federal government. So those in need to ensure that we can get the unemployment. Insurance assistance we can get a small assistance loans and place. So folks can ride this out. Well talk about that a little bit more of what we still have a couple minutes Unemployment Rate now is about 10 we have 16 17 Million People have lost their jobs in just the past. 2 or 3 weeks how much worse can it get and how do we recover from this. Operating under the assumption that 10 is clearly understating the severity of what is going on right now in the economy, the Unemployment Rate may be twice that. So clearly were gonna something thats unprecedented anyones life time. At least not since the great depression. I hope theres and what were working furiously on is preparing for how were going to ramp up as soon as we get the green light we can get people to work as quickly as possible, making sure that every permits city halls approved so we get construction workers right on the job right away. It really doing everything we can to ensure weve got folks are going to get the skills in place so they can move into those jobs because we know some jobs may not come back to strictly because for example an in transportation airlines. Hotels and so forth that may take longer so we need to do everything we can open up opportunities for the arts, the economy thats the require a lot of ramping up stills a maryland cargo we saw the debacle of what happened to the voting effort in wisconsin we understand santa claras already soaker county already looking at a voting by mail for everybody in the county.

Its about the coronavirus continue to spread pressure breaks down yet another myth for us tonight this time the myth is claiming that you need to sanitize all of your groceries after you buy them. The internet is rife with coronavirus myths fables and fictions some of it is malicious. Some of it is well intentioned, but still wrong like this myth it says you need to sanitize all your groceries after you buy now a Grocery Store to filled with piles of produce as well as food items in every conceivable kind of container in packaging. And some fear the virus may be lurking on every item so they say you have to disinfect everything you buy. Now these chips again i could dump them into a container. But im just going to choose to spread them off thats okay before they go into the pantry. This myth is being fueled in part by this viral video produced by a michigan doctor thfts been shared more than 25 million times in it he advocates quarantining groceries in a garage, a port for 3 days before bringing them into your home and then disinfecting all packaging containers and bags. The fact is science doesnt support these over the top levels of caution in the video. Professor Benjamin Chapman who is a food Safety Specialist from nc state told me we dont have any evidence that food or Food Packaging is a risk factor for coronavirus he also says that these disinfecting suggestions are not based on any science instead he says you should wash your hands with soap and water after putting away your groceries. Now professor chapman and other experts say your biggest risk of getting covid19 is the time that you spend in the Grocery Store allowed people were already infected this viral video is the same one with the doctor had to retract his claim that you need to use soap and water to wash your produce after many Health Experts weighed in saying that it could make you really sick if you do that from the soap residue.
