Breaking overnight u. S. Sets a record for the most covid related deaths in a single day more than 3100 people died from the virus on wednesday and now for the First Time Ever more than a 100,000 people are hospitalized for coronavirus and nearly 20,000 of those patients are in the icu now here in california are also setting records for the number of coronavirus cases just yesterday the state saw more than 20,000 new cases, a 113 people died bringing the states total to over 19,000 deaths, californias test Positivity Rate has also increased over the past 2 weeks its now at 6. 9 . Hospitalizations are also rising to their highest level since the pandemic began. Well to the east bay now 8 people from one danville classroom have contracted covid19 this happened last month when they welcome back students and staff for phase 2 of its reopening process jet jimenez an autism paraprofessional with San Ramon Valley Unified School District says that on that first day back. She recorded fevers on 2 students informed her superiors but carried on as normal and then by saturday jimenez started filling a fever and over the next couple of days she along with her fellow Staff Members in that classroom and 3 other students tested positive for covid19 superintendent john malloy says that the district had instructed staff to escort students with any symptoms to the Nurses Office immediately and that was not done. We knew some of the students want to be mask they could not tolerate it. We know we would have to be within 6 feet of these students so we were given a plastic rubber gloves very flimsy face shield. And just told well we have to do the best that set i take responsibility is the superintendent for all kids being safe. All staff being safe and we need to keep working on that. However our protocols are meant also to keep people safe and in this circumstance. The protocols werent followed. Superintendent malloy also added that they are working to create clearer communication with staff about the protocols and will also supply staff with n 95 mask on top of their other ppe and then is however still concerned that the enhanced measures still wont be enough. Well despite the outbreak at an east bay school theres a renewed push to reopening schools all across the bay area and beyond doctor jean noble whos the director of Covid Response at ucsf Police Schools can still reopen at this time now a bay area delegation is sending letters to is the San Francisco Unified School Districts and the tail and the San Mateo County office of education and more urging for plans to be made. We should schools down back in march and we didnt have the knowledge that we do now of covid we assume that it was going to be similar to influence a similar to the flu and the children would be the main drivers of transmission. Over the last many months weve learned that that isnt the case in jax kids are underrepresented as covid cases. All San Francisco Unified School District is working on plans at the moment. Assembly members are saying that he wants to keep the fire under control in these School Districts adding that with more rollback students in school should be prioritized when it comes to opening and staying open. Well that seems may be coming to Santa Clara County in the next few days county officials. Announced that they have a plan in place for distribution but they could not say which vaccine might arrive first or how much will actually be available. Officials said that it could take many months before the county has sufficient quantities of vaccines for everyone. Well since the majority of covid deaths are occurring at Nursing Homes and assisted living facilities the federal government has determined that people there will be in the first group to be offered the vaccine but theres a challenge of actually getting the vaccine into those facilities. Krista Barnett Nelson executive director of Senior Advocacy services of Sonoma County says the logistics including making sure that those at the care facilities are safe. Get not just one but 2 shots thats a complex situation. It is taking experts in their field. This is you have to have it. First one thats coming up from pfizer has to be frozen asked to be kept to an optimum temperature there has to be a certain number of people for each mile air. There is a lot better wiring expertise and they again have all hands on deck trying to make sure that this is done in the best way possible. Keep in mind that 40 of people who die from covid19 have been at Nursing Homes and assisted living facilities. Well distributing the covid19 vaccine nationwide would be tough and is likely to take several more months. Thats the warning from the director of operation warp speed a federal operation in charge of developing and manufacturing and distributing kobe vaccines. Joe khaleel has more. Things happen and when they happen. It would be ready to do with just spent about its doctor Moncef Slaoui chief scientific adviser for operation warp speed says developing covid vaccines in under a year. Was a Monumental Task now he says distributing those vaccines may be just as difficult we are working the streaming hot to avoid. The inevitable challenges and you we learning since come as we start to execute sku doctors allawi says its hard to anticipate what those inevitable hurdles will be he tells news nation. The White House Coronavirus task force has run rehearsals with states to try to prepare different states are in Different Levels of preparedness as we speak states will be ultimately the deciders about who fits into those different categories and how to prioritize and actually get vaccine to individuals copter josh, the show with the Kaiser Family foundation says rural states with fewer hospitals and care centers. May have a tougher time getting the vaccines to vulnerable populations and medical workers both of whom are First Priority some states will be. Much more ready to get the vaccine out there in the quick efficient way another challenge me showed says making sure those who received their first dose come back for a second both moderna and pfizers vaccines require 2 shots that is a significant logistical challenge to track all these individuals will be meeting might be moving around the congressman and physician doctor raul ruiz says while much of this will be left to the states the federal government has a role to play the ideal would be a massive coordination partnership, driven by the federal government collaborating states. He says that means helping states identify those most vulnerable who need the vaccine first we also need to put money towards back seat and ministration. To make sure counties have the equipment they need in order to store the next team to administer the vaccine. Doctor slaoui says even as a vaccine begins to go out its important to stay vigilant, were still going to be a long way from being out of the woods even has its end distribution so the answer is yes because we are. Not a overnights to immunize the guys here or position in the u. S. It is very important we are patient and resilient and get to the very end of the tenant. But doctors always says that there is light at the end of that total in the form of this vaccine and he says that by the summer time. He hopes the vaccine will be successful. It will be distributed to the general public and he says next summer hopefully will not look anything like this previous one dead. In washington joe khaleel. The department of defense released the first images of a covid19 vaccine record core our record card and vaccination kids so everyone will be issued a red card you can actually putting your wallet. It will tell what they need to know what they had when their next doses do as well the cdc says of the vaccine will be administered in 2 doses separated by 21 to 28 days and thats because different covid19 vaccines can not be interchangeable people must get the second dose by the same manufacturer thats extremely important. The vaccine kit includes a card a needle syringe alcohol wipes and a mask.
