Yesterday long cruise road and oak spring circle, north of gilroy its grown so far to 1500 acres its only 15 contained. The park fire on the right there making much more progress with that one is burning near morgan hill. Sir had 340 acres so far but 70 contained at this hour all the evacuations lifted at morgan hill but evacuations remain in place and gilroy so lets go there now kron fours will tran standing by with the latest well it looks smoky behind you. Yes, its gotten smoke here since the last time you see me even though theyve knocked down the flames, this is kenyada road and this is one of the locations where they had to evacuate people yesterday because the fire was racing through this area. Breathing is quite difficult at this time fortunately it is not windy. Let me quickly step out and show you the terrain you can see that firefighter. Often the distance right there just keeping a close eye on the situation. Look at how more importantly daria yellow the grass is it is dry ready to go up in flames which is why we have seen firefighters all up and down kenyada road just to make sure that they are ready to pounce on any fire that happens to move along this ridge year. Let me show you video that we got when we first arrived here about an hour ago you can see in the video along the ridge area near some homes that the fire was still burning quite actively at this time they focused their attention on that area we didnt see any fire drops at that particular time but in my there might have some crews nearby where they are able to spray some water on to that location and knock down the flames so those flames are gone, but the damage already down when the fire started yesterday afternoon. They evacuated people and thats great nobody that we are hearing has died or has had any major injuries but 2 structures did go up in flames in fact, heres one person talking about that. I could see the big thick black smoke and the huge flames, the flames where the house was burning were over the trees you could see it above the trees and the line the fire line was real big. And back live now we want to show you the area it seems like its gotten smoke here by the minute you can see well pretty soon you might not even see some of that texture of this hillside years of some hills taller than others because its been just a blanket of smoke, thats just got on top of this again fortunately it is not windy that could be a disaster because he could carry the embers from one location to the other but they are obviously going to update us on the situation calfire usually has an update every time at every fire at around 7 in the morning. Right now as we are still talking at this very moment, 1500 acres, 15 containment and it looks like its going to be days before they get full containment james darya i was talking about how cal fire continues to go up and down this location.

About 10 oclock last night we heard some fireworks going off and after them maybe half an hour after that we heard. Sirens going down it just kept going off no one you know for a lot and i guess people are trying to celebrate in.

Its burned about 340 acres so far so the park fire. The evacuations have been lifted there in morgan hill but the other fire in gilroy. Proving to be more difficult kron fours will tran is standing by with the latest well. The right now for the firefighters, their biggest challenge will be breathing. We dont see the huge flames that we saw coming here at around 4. 30 to 5 oclock in the morning. But you can see look at the hillside area you have been watching this as close as i have boots on the ground but im sure your monitors can pick up just how smoky the situation is and continues to smolder look at off in the distance you can see here a fare thats where its smoldering but but an hour and a half ago he was not small during and i have video to prove it was actually on fire in this very difficult rugged terrain you can exactly drive up to it is just hillside after hillside. And you can see just how how much flames just ripping through that particular section. The hillside at that particular time. Let me show you because its hard to get to this is video from yesterday they actually had to use air drops im sure air drops are ready to go once the sun comes up even more so especially after the briefing at 7 oclock in the morning because the this is an area that its not residential like santa rosa fortunately, but they did have to do evacuations in this area yesterday. Even though they did evacuations 2 homes did go up in flames and hopefully not anymore. But there are homes dorian james there are still threatening at this time as the fire continues to march along this area of kenya on a road. Were not hearing of any injuries or any fatalities yet hopefully that will continue. But it looks like its going to be days before this fire is completely contained right now 15 containment we should get an update in the next hour or so from cal fire and keep in mind containment does not mean out containment means that you corral that word doesnt spread and spreading thats exactly what its been doing over the past say 12 to 14 hours because look at this on the right side of your screen.

In general in california as many people know were kind of in an upswing and a little bit concerning doctor, peter chin, hong is an Infectious Disease expert with ucsf he and other Health Experts say that the next few weeks are going to be critical for several reasons for one california was already showing troubling signs of the coronavirus infecting more and more people pushing up the Positivity Rate. We dont only have a test Positivity Rate increase. We also have an increase in hospitalizations and the number of icu beds use and in some counties like Imperial County and riverside.

You were one to go to a 4th of july party and not wear a mask with people not in your immediate family or if you traveled over the Holiday Weekend getting tested should be on your to do list. Long flights tend to fill up people might not mas in those us together. You know its a party may be and where mass thats a high risk situation i would definitely think about getting tested, but they could baller old people at home doctor chan hong says that while the concern is choices people made over the 4th of july weekend. Could lead to a further spike in cases medical experts are also worried about hospital and icu rates. Your mission is about 7 days on average for this. You know it could be as soon as 4 days and then as long as 10. More days, so like 2 weeks is kind of a good period to begin seeing. The impact and thats the positive cases.

In National Headlines now President Trump seemed to downplay the severity of the pandemic over the weekend during a july 4th event he said that 99 of cases are quote totally harmless. Despite the fact that 4 and a half percent of americans infected have died with many more becoming seriously ill. The commissioner of the food and Drug Administration address the matter yesterday without defending the president s comment. So so we know that cases are surging in the country weve all seen the grass associated with that. And its just too early and im not going to speculate on what the causation is there what i can tell you is the way out of this dan a the way out of this for all americans is to follow the cdc in the White House Task force guidelines, social distance wear a mask if you find yourself in a situation we can social distance. Good hand hygiene all the things that i would tell my patients and if youre near someone who is vulnerable and you think youve been exposed. Please take care and avoid exposing that person whos vulnerable. Now the cdc estimates that 35 of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic which means the people infected dont exhibit symptoms yet they are still able to spread the virus to others. President trump meanwhile is heading to New Hampshire this coming weekend where hes scheduled to hold a rally at portsmouth airport on saturday. Organizers say that they will be handing out masks and hand sanitizers to attendees with the recommendation that they wear him, but theyre not going to require it.

The republican governor of arkansas says that people theyre at the Mount Rushmore rally really should have worn masks. They should have been face coverings they should follow guidelines there. You know i know that its a controlled environment, so its really more about setting an example but i know how important this was a governor known. Shes been asking that the president about this months ago. This is not something that was set up at the last minute it was planned. And it was a controlled environment. The governor of arkansas says that if President Trump would hold a rally in his state he would require people wear masks and practice, social distancing.
