Robin all right, thank you john are heading back to the east bay were tracking a. They caught spot here on the nimitz freeway all take that back its not the nimitz its at the davis street overcrossing at 8. 18 not on the freeway itself so earlier this morning, there was a fatal accident involving a bicyclist which is still under investigation. So the westbound lanes of davis at the overcrossing to 8. 80 remain closed for this investigation. So youre getting through on the eastbound side, not the westbound side that traffic is stocked up on both sides of davis and with that can just spilling over to the nimitz freeway. So now we have heavy traffic on the nimitz way back from 2. 38 and now to 38 is backed up to 5. 80 its all just spilling over to the other freeways that id say avoid the nimitz freeway until they can get accident at the davis street overcrossing out of the way because its having a huge impact on freeway traffic bump you up to 20 minutes because of that action from san leandro heading into downtown oakland will also have a little bit of a wait at the bay bridge toll plaza still jam from the bottom of the maze as its recovering from an accident and a stall back to you. Robin thank you our top story this morning comes out of the north bay were Solano County now seeing the highest number of reported covid19 cases since the beginning of the outbreak in this is the dashboard that the Sonoma County Health Department has put together its on their website and at a glance it gives you an idea where things stand at the moment that large number 121,000 and growing thats the total number of residents have been tested in Solano County above it. We have more than 9,700 people that have contracted the virus with 778 people be currently treated for right now 81 people have died so far this year, its a lot of county because of covid19 and the 7 day Positivity Rate, 12. 2 way above where doctors want that to be fact local doctors are worried that the numbers will get worse as we head into thanksgiving. Kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live in Solano County now with more on this story, sarah. James has those cases continue to rise and spread rapidly. Its concerning for Health Officials here in fairfield people are shopping for the thanksgiving getting ready. But the question is will people stay with the people they live and just celebrate that way or will they invite over some friends and family they dont live with because that is not recommended by the cdc include make the cases rise even further now the county Health Officer says the numbers are driven by halloween parties with groups of 20 to 30 people gathering together indoors. Thats what they think caused this spike the previous peak in Solano County was in mid july with a 100 cases reported in day. And this past week there was even more than 100 cases per day. The number of hospitalizations have also tripled from below 20 to over 60. The concern is that people will gather on thanksgiving but with people of all generations which puts older family members at a higher risk than ive talked with people here in fairfield one woman saying she is inviting some family members over. But shes taking as many precautions as possible. I still yet to be 8 of us so we have the temperature we have sanitizers we have. Sanitizing wipes for the were going to have one direction for collecting your food in and they can choose to sit wherever they want instead of sitting all around the table. So theres plenty of space in the house to spread up. She may be taking precautions. But again the cdc does not recommend you to spend thanksgiving with people you dont live with she says though diana says that she wasnt have any elderly people over for that thanksgiving celebration. So that is good but still people gathering not so good shes taking a lot of precautions you should take actions to if you do. There tend to that distance make sure youre wearing a mask if youre not eating youre doing everything you can to keep your loved ones safe and remember a curfew is in effect here in Solano County at 10 00pm. Send it back to you a good thing to remember the curfew got to get home before them, thank you very much sara. We have new data about whos getting covid in california. It is young adults for the most part more than half of the new coronavirus cases in california. Our 18 to 49 yearold conference theresa has more. This information coming out and the governor emphasizing that this is what hes been talking about all along. This virus simply doesnt discriminate the number of people that are testing positive. The number of new cases in the state of california. The age cohort is something i wanted to highlight california governor Gavin Newsome on what the state is saying when it comes to that surging covid19 cases. The state revealing the sevenday Positivity Rate is 7 . And over the weekend there were 14,319 new cases reported on saturday alone. Also the data showing that more women than men make up the cases in california. And there is this an increasing concern the governor saying that new information pointing to people between the ages of 1849, are catching covid19 to 18 to 49. Age cohort thats now representing 60 of all of our new cases back to the mythology that somehow this disease has separated itself exclusively by age or vulnerabilities that are defined by preexisting conditions and the it transcends it impacts all populations of course not equally in terms of its ultimate impact. But nonetheless the case numbers impact age cohorts across the spectrum and as you can see in this chart disproportionately now are impacting 18 to 49 year olds in the Marina District of San Francisco, a busy night outside restaurants must only offer outside dining throughout the city due to the rapid rise of cases residents tell me that theyre hoping for the best Going Forward hoping data showing the rise in cases affecting the 18 to 49 yearold. Will taper off i actually enters. It seems like this might be people that are going out a little bit more and acting a little bit riskier. Really scary out there right now so its hard. Its hard to tell anyone what to do right now, but you can only you know take care of yourself, lets put our heads on right. And think about it and let us get out of this were almost there were right at the summit lets just lets just make it happen now and again were here in San Francisco. We are in the red tier here we reached out to public Health Officials to find out if they think that theyre going to be sliding into the purple tier thats more restrictive. Like so many other counties in the state of california, however they said that their data is actually pretty good sell. So far so good. In San Francisco theresa kron 4 news. Lets take a look at the numbers there are well over a million covid positive cases in california and close to 19,000 californians have died of covid and that includes 1928 people who died of coronavirus here in the bay area prompted before and i can tell you about the hospitalizations they went up 77 just the last 2 weeks and icu admissions are also up 55 during that time. Well Governor Newsom and his family are still in quarantine this morning, the governors children as we have reported were exposed to a chp officer who had covid19 the chp provide security for the governors family. Last we heard nobody had tested positive for the virus in the family, but they are course quarantining during a News Conference yesterday the governor said. Now he knows more than ever how families are going through this. It is a very challenging in trying time and it something is now been brought home quite literally in terms of my own experience just over the course last couple days that said i did them, but they respect for people they dont have the support of people that are in my position that dont have the resources of people in my position and those that are struggling. Now the quarantine also comes after one of his children was exposed to a classmate tested positive. The governor is expected to now be tested regularly in the days to come. Well a cheaper and faster test for covid19 could soon be widely used across the bay area. The rapid tests are being conducted in San Francisco above the 2412th and mission bart station. These tests detect infection by looking for the proteins of the virus instead of identifying the genetic material of the virus. A small ucsf study found that these rapid tests were accurate in 14 out of 15 people who are infected. Doctors believe Rapid Testing could help slow the spread of covid19. What were trying to do here with testing is to identify people who are infectious and get them isolated so the real intervention is isolation and a sort of secondary one is quarantine where you think they might become infectious. So this helps us get to that faster. Doctor George Rutherford is encouraged by Rapid Testing though he says that more data is needed to determine just how robust and the Rapid Testing method is. Today in oakland, the Alameda County public Health Department hosts a Free Covid Testing popup site and theyre going to give away facemasks to it starts at 10 oclock this morning ends at 04 00pm and thats on macarthur boulevard testing is available for adults and for kids and you dont need insurance and i wont ask any immigration questions. 8. 11 right now still ahead on the kron 00 00am morning news.

You look outside from our berkeley cam shows abundant sunshine out there right now little layer of low lying cloud cover sitting right above the city of San Francisco thats not going to last for long, but we have seen some patchy low lying cloud cover and fog this morning, not near as much as what we had yesterday so its been a much sunnier start looking outside at radar.

The Sierra Nevada will see a dose of snowfall towards the middle of the day tomorrow shouldnt amount to too terribly much but enough to get roadways wet if youre heading that direction on your wednesday. After that thursday dries out for our neighbors, we stay dry in the bay area as we will into friday saturday and sunday after thanksgiving as for today, it is or warmest one of the forecast i say that but were only warmer by a few degrees from where we were yesterday and where will be for the next few days after today, a range of 50s and 60s right along the coastline while much of the rest of the bay will be into the mid to upper 60s for your highs today, redwood city in foster city chat 66 woodside youll be at 68 today well in the south bay, mostly some mid 60s for daytime highs east bay temperatures range from the low 60s in areas Like Union City to the upper 60s in walnut creek in concord at 68 oakland youll be nicely at 64 some light jacket and sweater weather well, vacaville at 67 fairfield at 68 santa rosa through mill valley, each also sharing those 60s.

Robin. Thank you john were checking back in on our hot spot in san leandro if youre traveling through san leandro this morning you may just want to avoid davis street and use marina instead why we have a fatal accident. Under investigation. This is from earlier this morning it happened at the davis street overcrossing at 80 so not on the freeway but at the over crossing the westbound lanes of davis remain closed with no estimated time of clearing. But traffic is getting through on the eastbound side, its backed up in both directions and when you have a backup there the overcrossing it impacts traffic on the freeway so now its spilling over to the nimitz which is jam way back from 2. 38 to 38 is jan from 5. 80 its going to be very slow ride out of Castro Valley just try to make your way on to 2. 38 and the nimitz freeway so id say just avoid it altogether stick with 5. 80 instead, but if you want to go ahead and take the nimitz do not get off a davis use marina as an alternate here at the bay bridge toll plaza we have a full house lot of those squeezing into San Francisco, nothing going on, but its champ from the bottom of the maze, its nice to see the richmond sandra fell has thinned out an easy trip 10 minutes into the north bay back to you. In the buzz, a historic all black referee crew blows the whistle on a desperate play. By tom brady and the bucks loss to the rams check it out brady tried to pass a note is pulling in bounces off or rams lyman and right back to his own and he tries to a fast one there shows that again like hot and this time 13 watch again catches it and gained 8 yards. If you look sound effects again, lets lets hold on and it seems like it the was flagged on that play for an illegal passed since you cannot throw the ball twice like that come on man. These guys have a combined 89 seasons and 6 super bowls under the belt you think they dont know. Magic johnson said it was about time we see an allblack crew look at his tweet what a proud day for the entire sports world i never thought id see the day this would happen in the nfl. Kelly probably thought hed never see the day that he be a worry or otherwise he probably wind up punch Klay Thompson and the face. But now that fight is coming back to haunt him. It was 2017 it over it was with the wizards when a fight broke out between Draymond Green and bradley beal turned into a full on tangle steph was pulled out look at that. And the look at dream on. Im was almost. Right off of which lighthizer out. Also some full on punches watch slowly. And you can great is holding clay with one hand and punching him with the other. The first time at age 22 he called that a graze to the head now hes almost 25 any calls it just being a stupid kid. And honestly, you know i would want to say you know and smartest that ive made but mean today i am and i will continue to grow and i will show you each and every one of growth should have you that im in this league, so just a you know have a conversation i definitely still think about things like that you know, im very remorseful for just the in all the not an asset is that i back to the day but were forward, you know we grow learned so well.
