Theres new research that projects nearly 180,000 people in the country could die from coronavirus by the first of october. Now this comes as the state of california just set a new record for the number of new virus cases in one single day. Kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in San Francisco. She has these grim details sarah. Im martie thats right the projection you just mentioned a 180,000 people. You know dying from the coronavirus that number is up from 50,000 thats up 58,000 from where were at right now so thats a significant amount of people who would die from the coronavirus by this october according to these productions, lets take a look at them so you can see the chart for yourself this is put out by university of washington showing again a production of 179,000 deaths by october 1st and remember these are projections created by their computer models which have closely been monitoring in referring since the beginning of the pandemic weve been showing you these and they do change at one point the chart showed a prediction of the death toll exceeding 200,000 people so it has gone down slightly but again it goes up and down is fluctuates right now in the u.

And so its going to be something either the state decides and as weve heard from governor Gavin Newsome he said that if the numbers do continue to rise, then we may have to revert back to shutting down. Our economy and putting people back in that shelter in place order but of course that is to be determined also its up to you and i to wear or mass and San Francisco, its even stricter than most you Must Wear Masks within 30 feet of others and this is all to stop these numbers from rising, we looked at a lot of numbers us now those are all projections and what our state city and government leaders want is a storm do our part so we can stop those productions from becoming reality elam live here on polk street in San Francisco for saying not every Single Person wearing a mask and when i was on poke swells on fillmore street earlier saw just about everybody wearing one its really interesting marty some people wear their masks hanging from their here some people are their mass love revealing their nose and discovering their math their mouth so a lot of misuse of the mass make sure you cover your nose and her mouth.

Thank you, lets get to another big story were following this thursday morning Governor Newsom says the state of california is hoping to speed up the release of thousands of inmates in california state prisons and its all because of the coronavirus kron fours will tran live at san quentin this morning. He has all the details for us well. The reason marty he wants to do this and other people want to do this to create social distance, the slow down coronavirus which is just racing through the prison systems in fact at san quentin 464 inmates have already tested positive for coronavirus and theyre still about 1800 cases that still need to wait for the results to come back so that number is expected to climb the governor is trying to slow down coronavirus through the prisons which is why up to 3500 inmates could be released from now until july first a lot of people and they do not support this decision, but the governor says time is not on the state side because lets face it there are employees that work at the prison system there are people who visit the inmates and they can spread. Coronavirus so he needs to slow it down. Right now there are about 3800 cases of coronavirus throughout the prison system. What he wants to do is release low risk inmates a lot of people are either horrify angry about the situation, but we are talking about lowrisk inmates who were not convicted of Violent Crimes, including Domestic Violence in fact theyre getting close to the release date anyway, which is why the governor says they are going to be revealing all the cases and then making a decision on who could possibly be released. He says right now unless they do something it would only get worse, not just in society of course because he says were still in the first wave. But because of places like prison. And yes, they do have areas where they can isolate prisoners but those places. I quickly filling up with people either who have coronavirus or have been exposed to people with coronavirus and he says unless we do something we will run out of those isolation areas as well. Thank you mark all right well, thanks a lot for that live report from san well new this morning. The number of workers who applied for Unemployment Benefits declined slightly to just under. 1. 5 million last week and that makes it the 12th straight week that theres been a decline. Join us with more on that and what it all means is kron 4 Sanaz Tahernia shes in the newsroom with more hi son us good morning, good morning. Marty the number of laidoff workers seeking unemployment did dip but only slightly last week but even a slight dip. Is better than nothing now. The government reports that while applications have declined 5 in the past 2 weeks. Its still a much slower rate of improvement then in april and may even more notable is that an additional 700,000 people applied for jobless benefits last week under a new program for gig workers and the government doesnt include those people in the official count. Another improvement were seeing is with the number of people already receiving Unemployment Benefits the number dropped last week from 20. 3 million to 19. 5 million which is evidence that despite the slower rate of decline. The job market is ultimately improving now as weve been seeing over the last couple weeks. Coronavirus cases in a number of states have jumped in experts say that if that trend continues. States may re impose limits on businesses which would then trigger job cuts which could bring us back to square one. A situation that experts say could be dire marty. And nobody wants to go back to that sanaas thank you and thank you for that live report from the newsroom.

Here we normally start receiving calls ground early june this year we started receiving calls as early as april been idle for a long time and so fireworks season, we know that theres not going to be a lot of fireworks shows and since this year and so we think that reason that people are going out and getting fireworks on your own.

Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. These are just a few uses of reverse mortgages. Or go online to request your free information kit. Without a doubt, one of the best financial tools ive learned about. Everybody should be taking a look at it. If theyre over 62, they should at least investigate it. For years, reverse Mortgage Funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. They know the importance of having financial security. Weve got great peace of mind. Whatever comes up. Were ready. I advise you to call them. Make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. Its a good thing. Reverse Mortgage Funding.
