Record warmth to kick off november today, and that warm weather, its going to be sticking around. Well have all the details in the accuweather forecast. Abc7 news at 11 00 starts right now. Announcer building a better bay area for a safe and secure future, this is abc7 news. The pandemic tightening its grip. At least 31 states reported at least one record high day of new coronavirus cases in the past month. That is according to Johns Hopkins university data. Good evening and thank you so much for joining us. Im dion lim. Our nation hit a singleday record of coronavirus cases. More than 99,200. Cases rising in 48 states, every one but nebraska and delaware. Several countries are seeing a case spike with england expected to enter a new National Lockdown on thursday. Bars, restaurants, and many businesses are being forced to close once again. Here in california, the state reported more than 4,500 new cases of the coronavirus today. That is higher than the daily average. The 14day average is around 4,200 cases. Abc7 News Reporter j. R. Stone joins us live now from the newsroom with some insight. J. R. , you spoke with a doctor who says people in the bay area should be concerned but not necessarily panicked. Thats right, dion. He says that the Health Departments in our area have been very strict in rules, and he believes that has been key to keeping the numbers down and in better shape than other places in california and across the country. Very few paper towels left at this target store in pleasant hill. The same story with baby wipes. Just a couple of packages left. Fears tonight among many when it comes to the surge in covid19 cases across the country and talk of a possible shutdown. I definitely think theres going to be a rise. Theres a bunch of people that i know that ive seen having parties, not socially distancing. I think the second wave is going to hit us way harder than the first wave. Reporter according to doctors at stanford, this does not appear to be the second wave. It appears to be the third. While there is concern among those we talked with, dr. Dean winslow says the bay area is in much better shape than the state and the country. At this point my sense is, though, that were going to be okay here in the bay area because all of the county public Health Departments have really approached this in a very careful and evidencebased way. Reporter while we may see certain things like water and paper towels flying off the shelves, dr. Winslow doesnt think well see another shutdown, but he is in favor of a National Mask mandate and covid checks before any Holiday Family gathering. You have just one person thats actively shedding virus in a crowded indoor environment, you know, everyone will likely get sick. Reporter to be fair, toilet paper at this target and Martinez Walmart was in stock. But just the fact that things like paper towels, water, and wipes were out is upsetting to many. To hoard things is not the right way to do it. Theyll have plenty if you just practice what you normally do. Reporter now, dr. Winslow believes that there is a certain covid19 fatigue out there that has contributed to the recent rise in cases around the globe. People not taking the virus as serious as they should because theyre tired of the restrictions. Dion, now back to you. Much appreciated, j. R. Thank you.
