The covid 19 pandemic is growing exponentially we see cases doubling every 3 to 4 days for 4 consecutive days this week the us had its deadliest day of reported deaths due to the virus mrs. They 5 of corn teen in day 5 of widow, good for me. And then were clicking off one day at a time and now the United States is the epicenter of the disease with the most cases in the world youve got to hunker down nail down mitigate mitigate mitigate. Get the people taken care of thats what you got to concentrate on you have to go with the data vaccine trials are underway and the shutdowns and restrictions across the country remain in place to slow the spread of the disease. But no state has seen a decrease in cases which means the us probably has yet to hit the peak. I want to be clear the worst days are still ahead despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead the medical world did find positive news about the virus. The virus isnt mutating much thats good because its not going to come more lethal likely insults are going to be good for a vaccine. The virus doesnt mutate much we still dont know when exactly this is going to end i think that is still the biggest thing that we dont know im John Lawrence reporting. And heres we track the numbers local you can see Santa Clara County still topping the list of 542 cases in 19 deaths, it is the hardest hit county. San francisco comes up second 223 reported cases, 2 deaths there 195 cases with 5 deaths in San Mateo County 178 cases and 4 deaths in alameda county. Contra costa county reporting 131 cases with one death marine county has 65 cases sonoma county, 49 cases they have one death there. 34 and Solano County and napa county has 7 confirmed cases. Happening today on the National Front the us house of representatives will be taking up a historic trillion coronavirus aid package. There have been some disagreements on minor points here and there, but both parties say they need to come together and take action to make sure that the american public. Hes taken care of during this crisis and american businesses as well. Joe khaleel has the latest from washington. So we had to take important action. Speaker nancy pelosi made a rare guarantee thursday, one way or another. We will passing the 2 models pelosi says after democrats took 3 days to negotiate changes. The urgent package now meet the immediate needs of American Workers families and hospitals able to flip this over from corporate shaquile down republican version to bubble up for her first familys first legislation that is an outright lie. The fundamental portions of this bill has not changed on sunday while minority leader Kevin Mccarthy strongly refutes Speaker Pelosi on how the relief package came to be both agree on the need to pass it and should not be delayed getting to the president s desk mccarthy says this package has overwhelming republican support but the process by which this was going to be taken he says is going to look different for the safety of house members we have members on both sides the aisle who have the virus. We have members who are quarantine mccarthy says members who make it to the capital will maintain social distance and the podium going to be cleaned between speakers but he says that wont stop the house from sending the bill on to the president does not do enough, but we needed to do what we could senator Kamala Harris supports the bill but says the aid package fall short on paid sick leave and help for cities and states. So in this moment of a Public Health crisis lets remember that we still have a lot of work to do work. She says lawmakers must continue throughout the crisis. In washington, im joe khaleel. And those financial checks going to americans will be greatly appreciated we had more than 3 Million People filed for Unemployment Benefits last week. Thats the highest number ever recorded in us history. And it comes as businesses are laying off employees by the thousands each day the previous high was 695,000 claims and that was filed back in october of 1982. Prior to the pandemic claims have been hovering around the low 200 thousands each week which is actually a sign of a really strong job market. But now all thats gone economists are expecting the us economy to fall into a recession. In the 2nd quarter. Theyre hoping though that it will stage a dramatic comeback later this year.
