Medical experts say that this case is someone having co id19 and the seasonal flu at the very same time re emphasizes the importance of getting a flu shot or potentially facing some very serious medical consequences and the risk is that youll have a worse today, they have a worse disease because youre suffering from 2 at the same time its harder to your bodys immune system to fight off both cyrus is simultaneously doctor balan ma cash is the Solano County health officer.

And heres the irony in our county most of our cases are occuring theyre being exposed when they get together with family and friends and they let their guard down theyre not being exposed at work and not being exposed out there and then in the general Public Sector in the community when they go to the store at center. They have the incorrect assumption that family and friends are saints. The doctor says wearing a mask is important but he also has this to add about what type and you might find it educational. Should be we be wearing a mask that surgical masks that we can buy these either from the hospitals where do you weigh in on that. You know its an interesting question because it actually misses the important point. People are using those masks only in the public sphere, not in the persopal sphere, but the personal spears re getting exposed. So if you are nothing more than a bandanna and the personal sphere, most of this disease ago. So you know rather than amplifying protection in the in that rare possibility of incidental exposure at the Grocery Store you should be focusing on a much more likely exposure in your own family, your friends and your family when you get together the doctor also adds that if you start having flu like symptoms you should isolate. Get tested and stay isolated until you get the results.

Lets talk about halloween normally, San Francisco is all in on the party, but not this year officials are worried about a rise in covid cases and they say they dont want to see the city back sliding out of the yellow tear kron fours Maureen Kelly talked to the mayor about her perspective. It seemed like it was going to be an epic halloween this year, its on a saturday. Theres a full moon here in a city where people love to dress up and have fun but now we have the specter of coronavirus looming over us and the citys mayor is concerned that people are going to think just because were in the yellow tier we can get a little loose, but she says thats not the case. Were in the yellows here now but that can change at a moments notice. The mayor visited businesses today out the excelsior some with their halloween decorations up but was scaring the mayors that were starting to see a spike shes concerned about the rise in hospitalizations and the number of new cases and and so what im concerned about right now is that as we go into the whole halloween weekend and people may feel good that San Franciscos in a good place but were not and its going to put us in a situation where we may have to make some adjustments and. As much as halloween is like my favorite holiday ever to celebrate even i have to take a step back from what i traditionally would want to do to do what is in the best interest of the people of the city because if wed all and were talking about future holidays where we wont be able to celebrate in the ways that we enjoy the supervisor of the Castro District is also warning people not to come here and party like in years past and that suits. Those we talked to in the neighborhood. Just find the castor is a really fun place. I love living here, but im all about safety first so personally im going to be staying home this year and im glad theyre encouraging people to stay home. I hope other people listen to what theyre saying the city says go ahead and decorate your house theyre encouraging people to still dress up in costumes but theyre discouraging of course large gatherings and theyre also discouraging trick or treating.

And continuing our covid coverage doctor Anthony Fauci the nations top Infectious Disease experts said the u. S. Covid numbers are quote stunning with infection rates rising in multiple parts of the nation and hospitals in some areas overwhelmed with patients.

That weve got to do things that have not been done uniformly and consistently throughout the country. The numbers that you put up our stunning. This is going to get worse because were going more into a cold this season. As we get through the fall and into the winter with the Holiday Season going weve got to do something different. Doctor fauci added if the federal government does not make the decision on a National Level he hopes that governors and mayors would implement mask mandates locally. The race for a covid19 vaccine continues but Health Experts say dont expect to get one any time soon. After initially suggesting one could be ready by election day. The president is now telling followers. Its right around the corner today doctor fauci also said we wont know until december at the earliest if theres a safe and effective vaccine. While a handful of companies are working on vaccines. 2 of them had put a pause on their trials to investigate safety issues thats why Infectious Disease specialist at ucsf say they believe that timeline is overly optimistic. They maybe did string that this effort to cnn vaccine by the end of this calendar year. But in terms of someone sticking their arm out to get the vaccine probably not until spring of 2021. Ucsf Infectious Disease specialist doctor, peter chan, hong says spring is a more realistic timeline for high risk populations, Health Care Workers and seniors because of the trial delays reviews of those trials of the complications involved in distributing a vaccine, but as for the rest of us experts at ucsf say we likely wont have access to one until summer or even fall.
