Needed if we cant flatten the curve quickly. We know and have seen in the past covid goes from zero to 60 Miles Per Hour quickly that were in a place today but that can rapidly change. Maybe not statewide, maybe just in the hand full of counties but further restrictions is what we open to avoid. We hope todays actions, our collective coming together and resolve to, you know, keep our protective behaviors up will help us stem the tide and bring the surging numbers down. Now, the states 14day Positivity Rate is 5 . Two weeks ago, it was just 3. 3 . Dr. Galley says cases have risen higher and faster because of a combination of factors like colder weather, more mixing, more reopening and greater travel. It is still unclear how the limited stayathome order will be enforced but dr. Galley is asking residents for their compliance and try to stay home between 10 00 p. M. And 5 00 a. M. Live in the newsroom, cornell bernard, abc 7 news. Thank you, here is look where the coronavirus cases stand right now. If were looking at totals, the bay area had 130,584 confirmed cases. That is across all nine counties and includes cases since the start of the pandemic. Santa cruz county has seen an additional almost 3700 cases. In california, there have been 1,0 1,059,267 cases. Thats an increase from yesterday. Across the country, there are more than 11. 6 million cases. Now this comes as federal officials try to get people to stay home this thanksgiving. Amidt this critical phase, the cdc is urging against travel for the holiday. A warning about thanksgiving which is one week from today. The agency is encouraging people to celebrate the holiday at home but only with people you live with. Abc News Reporter kate larson has details. Every time you start to bring people in from the outside, you increase the chances there will be somebody there who has covid19. How much will it increase the chances . Dr. George rutherford explained the math based on californias Positivity Rate, which is about 5 right now. That means if you pick someone at random to spend thanksgiving with, there would be a 5 chance that one person was infected. So if you have a gathering with three total people, it increases to a 9. 5 chance, six people from mixed households, there is a 22 that someone is infected. With 12 people, youre looking at a 43 chance someone at your party has covid. Is there any number of people you can gather with inside that would be safe . No, the safest way to have thanksgiving is have it within your household. Reporter Positivity Rates vary by state and county since San Francisco for example is 1. 8 but Fresno County is 7 and San Bernardino county is 10. 5 . Relatives in los angeles, relatives in san jose, relatives in the city, everybody stay where they are. We especially dont want people coming in from hot areas. There is a warning from the neighbors to the north that celebrated thanksgiving in mid october. If you look what happened after canadian thanksgiving, the cases were going up like this but then after canadians thanksgiving, the slope changed and went up very rapidly. Thats cause for concern because if thanksgiving gathering cause a sharp spike in covid outbreaks, its likely hospitals will fill up and death rates will increase not just for Covid Patients but other emergencies like someone having a heart attack that might not get help as fast with an over burdened medical system so dont do it, stay at home.

Com and the app. Major sports news this afternoon. Golden state warriors guard Klay Thompson will miss all of the Upcoming Season after tearing his achilles tendon yesterday in a pickup game in southern california. Chris al varez live at the chas center. Tough blow for the warriors. Larry, it really is. As you know, they built a championship culture here but really built a family atmosphere. Gm bob myers was so emotional today when talking about Klay Thompsons season ending alil kis injuk achilles injury. Klay tore his right achilles yesterday. Today myers talked all things klay ahead of two of the war i a worries draft picks. He was rehabbing a torn acl he injured in 2019. Myers said what headaches thmak more is the bond well beyond the basketball court. It hurts the longer you experience life with people and the more pain you have. Thats why you get invested in these relationships. Thats why its special. Thats why over here maybe there will be a statute of that guy but i lean on our owner. I lean on our coach. I lean on our players. We call steph curry, we call draymond green. Its pain. These are the same guys you hug when you get the trophies, too. So you got to know somebody. You got to go through the battles with them to really feel what we feel right now as an organization. Reporter he also made a point to say this is not the last of Klay Thompson. This is not at all, its going to be a tough rehab road two years back to back but many more memories will be made and klay is well liked and you saw it in the social media. Everyone across the League Offering prayers and well wishes to thompson who faces a long rehab. Were hopeful he can get back on the court the following year, larry. Chris, thank you very much. Chris alvarez reporting at chase center. Joining us for more on this is an orthopaedic surgeon john belser. I was going to say its great to see you again but if youre joining us, it probably means something terrible happened once again and here we are. Larry, it seems like just a moment ago that you and i were having that chat over klays injury that fateful day or week with kevin a year and a half ago and this certainly is a big blow to the organization. I think all of us as fans were looking forward to a really great year with one of our superstar and klay coming back full speed and this certainly is going to impact his season, clearly, and, you know, potentially future years. Its a devastating blow. Yeah, so lets start with the basics. What exactly causes a torn achilles tendon . We went over this before and ill do it again. I have my model here. Here is the foot and ankle. Here is the heelbone here and here obviously are your toes and tibia. Achilles sits here. When somebody is jumping, they pull up on the achilles, their foot goes down and thats how they jump in the air. What happened with klay, is when a player goes backwards and explodes forward and we saw this if you watch the videos on kevins injury, as the foot is forced this way from the force of the acceleration at the same time the achilles is pulling, the tendon pulls in the opposite direction and ruptures. Here is a graphic. I dont know how well you can see it but you can see the achilles denttendon and has thel goes down, muscle pulls up and its like pulling a piece of paper apart. They have powerful muscles and are exploding with such force forward that, you know, often times the achilles doesnt stand a chance. How difficult is it to repair and normal Recovery Time . So from a surgical standpoint, its a very straightforward procedure. There is a number of ways to do it. We generally do it open to get the best and strongest repair. Surgery is less than an hour and then the recovery is essentially crutches for a period of time to allow that tendon to heal but then its really about the recovery, and that recovery needs to regain the strength across that tendon so the tendon can once again take the loads these basketball players are placing across it. That will be as we saw with kevin and other players that have torn achilles, at least a ninemonth recovery, if not longer. Klay was coming back from a torn acl in his left knee, this injury is his right achilles. Do you see this a lot where the body is compensating from one injury and you put the strain elsewhere . Yeah, i think that realistically speaking, this is the same issue that the question came up with kevin about whether this injury that he had was because of the prior injury and the answer is its probably more related to the nature of the sport and the amount of stress they are putting on their joints. All right. Assuming that the surgery goes well, would you expect to see the Klay Thompson that were used to seeing, the guy that can score 37 points in a quarter or is the likelihood given his age and the two injuries, will they limit him or will he be the same splash brother that everybody has come to watch and love . Well, in taking care of these athletes for awhile, you know, these guys are competitors and work harder than anybody youve ever seen. I think klay will get back to a level that will allow him to for taste pate participate at an elite level. I expect great things from him. Thank you for your time this afternoon. Thank you.
