President decides not to dismantle his Covid Task Force good morning. Im darya folsom and thanks for joining us on this wednesday were going to go local first because 2 new coronavirus testing sites are open this morning in Santa Clara County more than a 100 people be tested at each site east a conference will tran is live in san jose with more hi will. The tests will continue all the way until 7 oclock tonight, this open at 7 oclock in the morning its at James Lick High School in East San Jose more specifically a soft alum rock right there at the Fire Service Center so dont go to the front of the high school its on the side there. In fact let me show you whats going on it started. Early this morning. But people did not have to rush into those locations because it was appointment only thats whats a little bit different from this site than the all the other sites that weve shown over the past couple of weeks where people came in across the bay area and this particular location. You have to have a fever show symptoms of a fever of a least a 100 degrees and its available for First Responders so those 2 facets if youre a member of the community with the fever and First Responders if you did not make an appointment at this location or if its full here. You have a second option. Christopher high in gilroy doing the same thing same requirements and in san jose. They actually started 2 days ago at the Police AthleticLeague Stadium where theyre testing about 250 people every day at that particular site you can actually walk up to that particular location. Same deal you have to have a fever and a first responder, but the goal is to ultimately open it up to the entire community. So they can get tested the test obviously are important to find out if you have coronavirus and if so to get treated and quarantined but there is another reason why these test sites continue to pop up and good reason because they want to get data the governor needs to get all the research that he could possibly can hes already said that he will not be swayed by emotion or pure pressure from the community but instead on scientific data. He wants to get all of this information from the sites and more sites that will open in the near future. Look at all that research to see whether or not shelterinplace needs to continue with a stranglehold or start to loosen up just a little bit because the goal ever since this whole shelterinplace started obviously was to flatten the curve again appointment only they are doing this monday through saturday. 100 people a day each particular safe here as well as get right back to you thanks a lot.

Hi sarah. I talked to an employee here at this daily city lindys location and she told me they do in fact have beef and they just started serving at 09 00am cheeseburgers and hamburgers for anybody who fancies that right now, but thats just not the case at hundreds of others locations across the country. A wendys is seeing a major hit from their suppliers, theyre not getting as as much the supplies they normally do a financial analyst estimates that nearly one in 5 Wendys Restaurants are out of beef completely theyre just not getting it in thats about 1000 locations wendys is more exposed to the shortage of me during the pandemic because it relies on fresh beef more than other fast food spots, wendy says some restaurants are very limited with their beef during these times and while the delivery schedule is unchanged to supply has been tight because beef suppliers in north america are facing production challenges and as we know that because many meat suppliers have shut down factories due to workers falling ill from the coronavirus and now the Ripple Effect is what were seeing now is the fast food chains like wendys and mcdonalds says their Food Supply Chain is not is untouched is totally fine burger king hasnt responded so. Well have to continue to follow this see if it continues to fall other restaurants.
