243 new confirmed cases of covid19 in marin county alone. Up from 165 cases during the same number of days ending on may 27th. This increase is among the highest per capita in the bay area. San mateo, San Francisco and alameda are slightly higher. Two days ago, Health Officials in marin county attributed their increase, not to their reopening but to the memorial day weekend activities. Families went on road trips and neighbors gathered. Sometimes wearing face coverings, sometimes not. Sometimes staying six feet apart and sometimes not. Still this graphic shows how the rolling average of bay area cases peaked somewhere around midapril weeks after the shelter in place order went into effect. The average declined but notice how they have been slowly going up as restrictions continue to be lifted. Heres where Health Officials have seen the most new confirmed cases in the bay area in the past 14 days. San mateo county, followed by San Francisco, alameda, and marin counties. Its not clear if more available testing has been responsible in part for the higher numbers. We expect to see more cases. But we really need testing to be readily available to all of those in the county that are at risk, so that we can contain the virus and keep everyone safe. Like i mentioned, testing is up but still below the governors goal of more than 60,000 tests per day. Now by the way, Health Officials in marin county are also asking people the get tested if they took part in reason protests. Abc7 news. If the numbers are going up as we see and many were concerned this would happen, why are some families moving forward . What are you hearing about the chance that we may go back to sheltering in place as a result . Well, hopefully not, dan. Heres the argument that governor gavin newsom made before. Hes saying, listen, we have millions of masks, the hospitals have enough ventilators, we have imposed all these modifications to deal with a slight increase. But he also made it very clear that it will depend on all of us to wear those masks, keep that social distancing, and yes, follow those rules, dan. Absolutely. Thank you very much. So lets broaden this conversation. Lets bring in our abc7 special correspondent dr. Patel. Lets jump in. We see these restriction being relaxed. More stores are opening but ill guessing this is not the time to relax about the danger of coronavirus. Not at all. Just because the outside world seems to be trying to work with our new reality doesnt mean people should be let go their guard down. Youve seen the numbers climbing. Weve hit 2 million cases. Over 100,000 deaths. These new models are showing we could number the number of deaths by september. People should not be falsely secure because were moving to phase 2 b and 3 eventually. That is a sobering thought. I think it is human nature as things start to open up. Do you think memorial day weekend contributed to the increase in cases . I do. I have to say, i agree with you. I think people are really feeling that quarantine fatigue and they want to get out there. And public Health Officials are worried that this is what happened over the memorial day weekend, according to the covid tracking project. Weve seen spikes in order a dozen states. Related to memorial day, my home state in arizona and right here in california, specifically in napa and marin county. People were outside having graduation parties, and people are saying, listen, i feel healthy, i feel fine. Lets all get together. Even one person who had coronavirus could have spread that to two and then four and then eight and you can turn any small ath outbreak. Thats what we think happen because of memorial day. Not just small gatherings. What about big gatherings like the protests weve been seeing, one person in that crowd. So i assume youre expecting to see an increase because of the protests. When will we know . Reporter i think just like what happened with memorial day. If we can expand a couple weeks out, it is possible well see a lot of outbreaks because of the protests. Dr. Fauci, a lot of major public Health Officials have been saying, keep a close eye on these protests. Weve already seen members of the National Guard in d. C. Test positive. In oklahoma, a Football Player tested positive who was at a protest. Fighting systemic racism is another major Public Health issue but this is also a big role for contact tracers. If anyone from a protest tests positive, this will be a challenge to make sure we get the word out to everyone who may have been at that specific protest. That is not an easy task. It is something well have to Pay Attention to in the next couple weeks as these cases possibly start to surface. As a doctor, what are you hook for as a possible indicator that maybe we dont have to be quite so ridge is handle to protect ourselves . Oh, put me on the spot. Two ways to look at it. We have the ultimate goal that we want to achieve herd immunity. We want to know people are out there and theyll have the immunity to be protected against it. We wont rationally get there until we have a vaccine or possibly, possibly treatments will come out and well slow the spread. The other part of this, possibly in the acute phase, the more important part, seeing peoples behavior as we reopen stores. It will be important to look back and see what happens. Will people be able to physically distance . And be really strict about wearing a mask and making sure theyre doing all the protective hygiene. If we can see people doing the responsible things over the next few months, it will give us some ease into flu season and as we worry about the flu and cold season, coming into contact with the coronavirus season. We have to all do our part and protect each other. Thank you. We appreciate all your answers tonight.
