Antioch to concord well check more freeways coming up back to you thanks robin. So a toe to the breaking news from overnight pfizer announcing that its asking the fda now to allow emergency use of its new covid19 vaccine now this. Well now start the clock on a process that could bring the first flu shots as early as next month, this action comes as we know days after pfizer said that its vaccine has been the certified at 95 effective at preventing covid19 and todays filing now will set the process up if the fda has a an independent advisers to debate and verify whether thats in fact the case and if it is safe and effective to go forward with theyll give the ok which means we could see the first distribution of the vaccine happening maybe mid december when thats not for you and me again thats for like top priority people that are really a risk front line responders that kind of thing. But we also have another big story connected to covid and that is the curfew Governor Newsom ordering a statewide curfew. That kicks in from to anybody who is in the purple so the whole bay areas going to have this curfew starting tomorrow night except former in San Francisco, san mateo yes, so for more on how this is going to be impacting everybody in these purple counties want to go out live to alameda crawfords radar be standing by with that good morning. Rhonda. In the morning look if you are an essential worker here and you have to do essential things this is not apply to you but if thinking about getting together with a large Group Friends and having a party overnight and this is for you again it starts tomorrow, 10 oclock at night its going to last every day for one month until 05 00am in the morning. So what can you do you can go out and go to the Grocery Store if need be you can walk your dog we have to get medicine if you are working overnight and you are an essential worker he go ahead and do that what can she do like i mentioned gather in large groups. The reason why theyre putting this in place as because theyre seen a lot of people getting together and spreading the virus during this time here because of the activities theyre saying are going on like gathering and party and potentially drinking and not wearing mask and so thats why theyre targeting this time and this hour so a lot of people been weighing in talked to a gentleman out here is what he had to say about this. My thoughts are that i believe that we should all sacrificed this little bit of ourselves and hear this order is just no way that we can this pandemic with takes a community to bring us together and here to these rules that the governor has advised and hopefully that will help us overcome this. So this curfew covers alameda at napa contra costa Solano Sonoma and Santa Clara County lot of people are asking how are they going to enforce this well. The first time around we saw them warning people then we saw them giving people big fines so that could be something we see during this process. Another thing to note is that right now its supposed to last a month, however cases continue to rise this could be something we see extended for now reporting here in alameda reyna harvey kron 4 news okay. Thank you very much we all know why this is happening because of the surge in covid cases and that is why the governor has ordered. This curfew so lets take a look at the surging numbers in california. Well over 1 million positive tests, more than 18,500 californians dying of covid and that includes 1880 deaths right here in the bay area. Well the in cases of course impacting as we said all those purple counties Alameda County being one of them and of course the most populous city in Alameda County. The city of oakland joining us to talk about this is mayor libby shaft. Good morning there. Good morning. Okay, the 10 oclock curfew kicks in tomorrow are you doing anything ahead of that how are you going to enforce it. You know just remember that this still allows essential activities you can walk your dog you can pick up pizza from your favorite place because eating is essential but were really focused on people who are profiting from breaking our health yesterday we received a temporary restraining order against an event just to libby the humanist hall that has literally been making money off growing in large part. Thats the kind of activity were going to really be looking for and this sends a clear message to everybody folks this is serious this surge is bad we all have to sacrifice just a little bit more a little bit longer so that we can all be safe hold it so youre saying that there are. Businesses that are doing and this is after hours because this coat, this this new curfew would catch them so after hours, theyre throwing big parties and have a corner on the market because youre supposed to do that. Exactly and that is who i focusing my enforcement efforts that is outrageous and so thats the kind of activity were focusing on it also just sent a very clear message to the public that this is critical it got all wear our masks i know i and many people are canceling holiday plants. Weve got to get through this and that case in crates really is disconcerting ive following the numbers every day and it is serious. He talked about you know thats where youre focusing your enforcement on how does that part of the puzzle work then are people supposed to notify if they see something going on how does that piece that seems to be the most confusing piece for a lot of people. Absolutely and there are many ways to report activity that you believe is in violation of the Health Orders you can send an email to our county sheriff you can call 911 or in oakland, we have a 3, 1, 1, system you can call 3, 1, 1, during Business Hours or email oak 3, 1, 1, at oakland ca dot gov and we will investigate so the thing is the curfew is more like like gives you gives you some teeth to regulate like you wanted to emphasize it doesnt stop me from walking my dog. Are going to get takeout food or anything like that what about what about it, im just going on a friends house and doing so the its still youre not supposed to be in that supposed to curb that activity even socializing is not an essential activity. Yeah, you are not supposed to be going to your friends house unless its a disabled friend and youre bringing them so we really are trust team people to self regulate the purpose of this is to really educate people how serious the threat is right now and we know that a big driver of these increases in cases are social gatherings even gatherings with your own family members if youre not living in the same household that means theyre not part of your household you really need to hold off from socializing i know thats very hard during the holidays, but that is what were just going to have to do in 2020 you just share the good news about vaccines on the way there is a light at end of this tunnel. And you know its just i had my town hall last night and had some really great advice from the head of psychiatry at Kaiser Permanente just remind us all to be kind to one another were all under a lot of stress check in on your own Mental Health take care of these are hard times, especially with the holidays, but we will get through this when were in it together. Now while we have i have to ask his earlier in the week we did a story about new efforts in oakland to try and make it so the teachers who teach in the Oakland Unified School district could actually live in the district in which they teach. As exciting news for a lot of teachers can you talk more about that. Thats you know we do not pay our teachers and not a First Year Teacher makes only 47,000 a pe teachers completing their Residency Program make only 15,000 a year. And that is not enough to live in this expensive bay area and we also know from studies that students need teachers of color they need get some teachers in their schools that look like them and oakland has had a really hard time attracting and retaining especially special education and stem teachers and so this innovative project is exciting because it it doesnt wait for us to build teacher housing we literally found some very charitable a Property Owners they rent teen a number of beautiful units and oaklands laurel neighborhood for only 350 youre working part of the rent they discounted the rent and then for our first and second your teachers were giving them a guaranteed income an extra 500 a month just to meet whatever their needs are we will be standing about how this affects teacher attraction and retention but whats exciting is we can scale it and youre showing pictures of the beautiful koloma fun fact, the owner of the is a former teacher herself so she was excited to how well yeah now all we need is to get the teachers and the kids in the classroom like the other video we showed actually all in the same room whens that going to crystal that that Alameda County is in the process of working with our public School District in their reopening we know though that with purple tier you know we opening thats going to be possible until the end of january at the earliest and its probably going to be a hybrid model different families feel differently about whether or not their kids should be going back to school but i certainly support making our conditions safe and that that we can reopen as soon as possible education is so critical all right, thanks a lot there mayor libby shaft up before we go mayor sorry i almost forgot. Oaklands own amanda ray was just named the first female commissioner of the chp oh yeah thats a cool story thoughts on that yeah.

Tom founded well its their Worst Nightmare all over again clays going to be on the rehab bench for another entire season. This time with a torn achilles on the other leg. The right one at the wrong time. Clay had just taken the bubble wrap off and started practicing again after watching the warriors not even make it to the bubble. In our job, my job. These are those phone calls where your face. Now the color drains from your face and. Got a text message from his agents say. Clay my claim i heard himself called me. And what i do. Its not that we cant deal with these things we do and we will we have. We will we will move on and we will be ok he will be okay, but what hurts the most is the time we put into our jobs. The sacrifices we make. To do what we do. And that to do what he does and for him to have to now. Not be able to play basketball. Thats the pain as the pain we feel the pain we feel for him. And you know that clay feels for them. How are staff and re supposed to swim without their splash brother. Thats why the warriors are buying a bully or n. O brey kelly o brey he cant fill clays shoes of course but at 14 million for next season and 66 million luxury brave maybe the best young athletic wing experienced enough to help keep the warriors afloat well bring averaged a careerhigh 18. 7 points per game with phoenix last season before the stones shipped him to okc for chris paul prior to the draft.

I mean over there soon as i walk into the door, so im not their way through what want work in iraq, there just for my teammates the past 24 hours have been super emotional. And they i dont think its really set in what really happened everything happened so fast and soon as we got drafted. A cool note about eagle on the right his dad pace mannion was also drafted by the warriors in the second round back in 1983. I am sure that while the shorts were short back them, im sure that hes proud and his boys bears a short they were clays pop is also proud Michael Thompson watched his son get free rings one more than he has but now he is seeing his son go through the worst of times lets take a look at what dad says thank you everybody out there in thomson twitter territory for all your thoughts well wishes and prayers for clay. We appreciate all you all so much. He will be back in 2122 watch out. All of us have gone through trials in this life, some bigger than others. This is just another one. The raiders face a daunting task to change this so they have to play the chiefs on sunday with a boatload of starters on the covid list 10 of the 11 players are on the defensive side of the ball. The only way to get to play on sunday is if they have 2 negative tests they got to get a second negative in time for well time is running time is running plus dont forget the new nfl stricter covid rules go into effect this weekend and we just found out that because of covid your cash is no good at the super bowl which is weird to but yes that apparently is the new thing. Yeah theyre just going to use a visa credit you see that in the big monitor behind our yeah hes a card. So apparently has.
