Side want to play political games senators clashed as they failed to reach an agreement on a nearly trillion coronavirus response. Bill what we have a basic philosophical conflict, democrats blocked a republican proposal oregon senator jeff merkley calls it a slush fund for big corporations like the Airline Industry so theyve invested 50 billion in profits during the good times and buying their own stock. And giving huge bonuses to to their their management. At that time they want to see what the public bail us now republican senators say bipartisan negotiations were going well until House Speaker nancy pelosi showed up back in washington and got involved and angry senator john thune of south dakota said the bill included many provisions democrats want like direct checks for americans increased Unemployment Insurance and money for Small Businesses to pay their employees that right there is billion. Going to workers. Soon says there is 500 billion worth of money for big corporations but stresses that money will be given out as loans and they all higher millions of employees in this country. So yes, we probably need to do something the democrats want transparency for how the money is spent and assurances. He wont be used for things like executive bonuses in washington, alexandra le mon. Now lets move on to testing because it started happening yesterday in hayward where you could drive up if you had symptoms. And get tested well. 4 were there a lot of takers on that more than tests obviously kron fours will tran is there live in a word for day 2 to see if this is going to go any differently well. They want to make sure that you dont waste your time because so many people showed up james and area that they had to turn people the way i mean about 09 30am in the morning they had more than 350 people either on the lawn just standing there or in their cars just waiting to be screened. So they want to be pinpoint this morning. So you dont waste your time and they dont waste their time so they can focus on the people who actually have coronavirus the jumping off point is you must have a fever of at least 100 degrees there are many other symptoms that you can possibly have as well if you are eligible to come down here to get sampled. Let me show you some of the symptoms take a look at your screen here any one of the following qualifies if you have shortness of breath. Recently traveled to europe or asia. Recent exposure to covid 19 other chronic diseases see or at least 65 years old. You are recently pregnant or are pregnant at this particular time. And if you are homeless the reason why is they only have certain amount of kids i mean all yesterday 350 kids so little bit of good news this morning they had 300 70 kits obviously they go really quickly and thats why they want to make sure that those who either have been exposed to coronavirus or and fact have coronavirus that they get the samples that they need and its very intrusive. They will stick long queue tips down each nostril take samples and do that for your throat as well send the samples to a lab in menlo park in those results could come back as quickly as 6 hours of the reason why theyre doing this is because they want to make sure the take a load off the hospital so many people are turning to the hospitals which is why we have a shelter in place to try to flatten the curve and this is something that doing. To help the First Responders the nurses and those in the community that might have coronavirus starts at 9 oclock this morning because all the way into 6 oclock in the evening. The address is at 2, 8, 2, 7, 0, hunt would and its right across the street from the station number 7 from the Hayward Fire Department and its the firefighters who would be administering this change starting a all right, thanks a lot well and remember james we talked about how were supposed to socially distance. Yes, the u k today is starting their deal. Theyre locked down any district you can only leave your house one time a day. To do one activity either by yourself or with someone you live with but stricter than we did much later to the party now weve been doing this for a while, but apparently a lot of people here are not observing our rules known a lot of folks flocking to parks and beaches. And congregating in groups that were too big and so now the governor has decided hes going to shut some of that down fact in the north bay parks are going to be shut down right now kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in Sonoma County to explain more about whats happening. Sarah. James im live at helen putting them a Regional Park here in petaluma and theres already a sign here that says the park is closed all parks across Sonoma County will be closed while we have this shelter in place order in effect statewide and this is because people had the same idea they all went to the park they all went to the beach take a look at some of the video everyone had the same idea we had amazing weather over the weekend today. Not so much because its raining so maybe staying at home will all be so bad but over the weekend everybody went to the beach trails picnic sites other outdoor common areas county state and city parks could be seen pack to cross the bay area which meant people did not keep us safe 6 feet of distance from one another or shelter in place at home in that statewide order youre allowed to exercise outside or walk your dog, but now the governor city and county leaders are having to get stricter because its just becoming way too packed and its causing for Health Concern. The governor has shut down 3 dozen state parking lots to prevent people from mass gathering at state parks and beaches and a counties are in and Sonoma County are taking it a step further corps across the bay area we talked to a few of them there, but disappointed to hear this. It breaks my heart but i understand the reasons you know i i i ive been wondering how long it would last that were still able to access the stuff in a sense its but i think its a probably not for the better in general basically the only activity we really can do is get outside walk or run. You know that type of stuff in it. The kind of the biggest area we have run to do and not to blow. His parking lots are shut down you know it makes a lot harder. Sonoma county Health Officials say they wanted to leave the parks open as a resource for people during this time. But as i said it just got out of hand so now theyre saying you know the best we can get exercise book your dog just walk around your neighborhood, im in a neighborhood right now next to this Regional Parks, unfortunately, well just have to stay on the street side and not head up to the park but that way you can just go for a quick walk around your neighborhood and then just go right back inside and shelter in place like were supposed to so that we can stop the spread of the coronavirus for now live in petaluma sara t inson kron 4 news all ri very good. Thank you for that update sarah and then in San Francisco, we also heard from mayor london breed who says that she. Honestly doesnt want to have to shut down city parks, but she says there may be no choice of people continue to refuse complying with social distancing mortars. Its really the last thing that i want to do so i want to order. The folks who are out on the streets have been drinking parties the folks who are out on the streets socializing in coming together and not taking this social distancing. Requirements seriously you are putting lives at stake, your putting Public Health in jeopardy. This is important its serious and ultimately our goal in preparing is to make sure that our hospitals have the capacity have what they need to prepare for what we know is coming. Well to that mayor breed announced the San Francisco has hired 82 nurses over the weekend in addition, the private sector has also been stepping up to to provide protective gear for frontline workers things like masks and gowns and gloves as well think a lot of people want to know how. It is this going to continue was the bay area has been in lockdown now and our state was one of the first to lock down lets take a look whats going on with the infection rate in Santa Clara County which is the hot spot in the bay area 321 people have tested positive for coronavirus and there have been 13 deaths and San Mateo County there was one death. And there are a 142 cases and then you can see the rest of the cases as you go down the line here lets go to the next page of youre looking county by county at the numbers and as we look at these numbers. We can take a look at a statewide as well. The numbers and were adding now some 15 other states have 16 states as of tonight will be in lockdown and the nation. And but this is because yesterday we saw what happened it was the biggest death toll jumped in america so far 100 people more people died of coronavirus yesterday in the us. And thats our biggest day italy. Theyre looking more hopeful because they had a smaller day where their death count rose by 601 yesterday that was a smaller day for italy. It rose by 601 and thats the smallest increase theyve seen there in 4 days. So they have been looking at it theyve been locked down now theyre looking at about a month. So this was supposed to last till early april. They have had 63 saw almost 64,000 cases of coronavirus in italy and well over 6,000 people have died. So they are looking at how long their lockdown is going to last as the u k is just now locking down so they waited a lot longer than elite probably waited too long as by all accounts. The us jumped on board before italy before the u k did and as you look at these global numbers, ill just give you the headlines around the world that are big deal. I just brought you the latest in italy, theyre seeing a glimmer of hope because there were fewer deaths at 600 of the jump yesterday. But the u k just locking down today. After the what our president our governor sought to many people out about so theyre locked down as a lot stricter they can only leave their house once a day for exercise. Theyre not supposed to go to work that is not essential. All of a non essential work and that includes like hotels for tourism things are all closing down. In spain. I just want to make one more a worldwide highlight for you thats just horrible. In spain. They are seen the case so dire there and so many people are dying and they theyre so overrun their Health Care Health care system. Theyre using a huge city ice rink in madrid. As a morgue because they cant take any more bodies. They cant handle them at the at the funeral homes. And thats just the sad reality in spain right now so this is all coming at a time when while our president said yesterday this might in here in the us are locked down hed like to open up the country for business next week. And that goes against what his Health Professionals have said they were all saying that we could prepare for this to last for months. So i think thats the question is wearing on people james is how long as youre over there. How are we going to have to keep this up and it may just be a matter of Public Health. Versus the economy and what we can take well on we can if we look to wuhan china has a. As a bellwether for this they of course were the epicenter of the beginning of this Virus Outbreak they were put under lockdown more than 2 months ago and theyre just now issuing guidance from the government that theyre looking to lift the lockdown on wuhan on april 8th, which again would put it. 2 months under an extreme form of lockdown not its even tried to matters years old when you hear 8 weeks versus you dont know right so that it could be as and when instead of next week hes helping or it could be 8 weeks will say.

Back 6. 16 so far pretty dry across the bay area but a couple of sprinkles have been seen from time to time on the peninsula and now right across the day that includes for those of you crossing the richmond sandra fell bridge. These next couple of minutes. Although its just been some light sprinkles roadways are a touch on the slick side now that youve seen some wetness a Sonoma County seeing the most widespread of light rainfall but still very spotty if you take a look further to the north you do see more widespread snow and rain across northern california. And that same precipitation will be briefly heading our way later on a cold front along with that rainfall today means temperatures are going to be cooler than the past couple of days. Were going to stay in these 50s the next 3 days so bit of a brisk feel for the start of this workweek you do see showers out there pretty widespread across at least most of the bay come 11 45am so only takes a couple hours from now to really see shower activity becoming more and more apparent as you do look at satellite radar. This is going make for some slick conditions if you must travel demand if you are stepping outside to go in that job or walk the dog. Well you are going to be running into a few spotty showers so keep the umbrella in the rain jacket with you. Its also going to be cooler sea want to bundle up anyways a couple of isolated spots of moderate showers but for the most part were sticking with light rain today and its going to be brief nothing close to a drought buster and not really a storm thats going to pose any risk to you besides making roadways a little slick. Tomorrow we do see a couple of light showers but after that shower potential really tried dies down for the rest of the forecast as we drive back out. Todays daytime highs cooler than yesterdays in the upper 50s were going to stay in the upper 50s wednesday and thursday before returning to the 60s band eventually the 70s by early next week.
