The u. S. Hit a grim milestone today surpassing 200,000 coronavirus deaths. Our chief medical correspondent told us today that politics is a big part of the problem. As a doctor, as a person and as a human being it is so disturbing to think we are 4 of the worlds population and have 21 of the deaths. We are doing something wrong. When you see countries that have handled it well, they are all doing the steps, wearing masks, its not politicized, you just wear the mask because it is good for everybody. A major problem here in the bay area is East Palo Alto where people are testing positive at a rate nearly 4 times the fi out why. Reporter the diagnosis is alarming but clear, the virus is here or there is a lot of people are testing positive at three and nearly 4 times the rate of other parts of the county. But the larger looming question is what is the prescription forgetting that the situation under control . Hygiene is very important. I think a lot of people out here are not taking it serious. As a recent cancer survivor lawrence takes the coronavirus seriously like his very life depends upon it and wishes others would do the same. I dont want to get sick, if im sick, im through. Palo alto has become a viral hotspot, they have 12 of the counties total caseload even though the city represents less than 4 of the countys overall population. Im very concerned. City councilman larry moody said that East Palo Alto is a city of east workingclass families for whom the state homeowners are luxuries that they simply cannot afford. At crowding into the mix and you have all the ingredients for a serious outbreak. It is a challenge but we can address it if we are collectively committed to overcoming this virus in this community. The Health Department released it statement saying that they are working to increase testing opportunities, outreach and education to make sure residents have access to nocost testing and support. The strategy is straightforward, first figure out who was sick and then they can take precautions to ensure others are not infected. It is really unfortunate that this thing perhaps will have to come back on your front door before you believe. As a hall San Mateo County is doing well enough to move into the red tier of the states color coded map meeting restaurants, churches, theaters and gyms can resume with limited indoor operations. As alano and alameda counties also moved up today. However alameda is holding off on easing local restrictions, at least for now. Still ahead on kpix 5 and cbsn bay area.

And we did. Over 24,000 homes have been destroyed by wildfires in the past few years. Wildfire victims need help so im voting yes on 19.

Some new fallout tonight in the wake of the College Admissions scandal. According to a new report, uc berkeley, ucla, Uc Santa Barbara and uc san diego admitted that 64 wealthy applicants based on family donations or there relationships to campus staff. Once again, the fake athlete was a ticket into uc berkeley. Reporter well, that script certainly sounds familiar, but its not just those 64 cases of improper admission. The audit also found 400 other cases that were questionable for admission. After the College Admissions scandal made headlines the state legislator insisted that state auditors look at the uc system, particularly at impacted schools like uc berkeley. That report showed over a six year period, 42 students were granted improper admission to the elite Public School where the admissions rate hovers around 17 . Is really based on some of their connections, perhaps to a donor, perhaps to an executive. I do think it sucks that they might have taken away spots from some that are more deserving. This email exchange highlights how nonathletes were tagged as athletes and given preferential status on the replication. And assistant coach wrote that the family made it clear that they would like to add to the legacy of the sports team to the tune of amount redacted donation, i thought i would check with you guys before i tell them thanks no thanks. The reply had a wineglass and five thumbs up emojis. The president of the Campaign College opportunity called the audit findings upsetting. It is awful to see that anyone at any of our public universities would use their position of power to allow someone to get in that has not earned that seat. Uc berkeley would not provide a representative to go on camera to answer questions but did issue a lengthy statement from the chancellor promising those involved would be disciplined and possibly fired and stating additional admissions controls were added in january 2019. So are people going to jail for this, are there any criminal charges as a result of this audit . At the moment this audit has been presented to the president of the office of california.

This is the pod, it has wifi, two different channels and hotspots on the cell phones. Loretta has a 12year old daughter, and she works at the mortuary so she now brings her to work. She grew up in this business, she sees caskets, and she is not scared. But this is what we have to do, its the new norm. Im sure some of my classmates saw a casket in the background. They still need their mom to look over and give them a helping hand. There are a lot of positives to this, too. Not a lot of distractions or things to look at. Mom is right there to make sure you are not looking at your phone. And the other positive is that these kids get to see their parents at work. Where if they were at school they wouldnt necessarily get to see their parents working as hard as they do. We have to look at the positive. There are those days when its bring your kids to work day. And i think they are taking this to a whole new level, but they are making it work and thats what counts.
