And new cases, the governor said there is some positive news today. He said hospitalizations for the coronavirus continue to drop as well as the number of people in intensive care units. With a Record Number of deaths he said the state is not out of the woods yet heard he urged people to keep up their actions that are helping to turn the tide on the virus. I know there is deep desire, people are making calls on an hourly basis saying its time to open back up. Consider the deadliest day in the state of california, the last 24 hours. 8. 5 increase in the total number of deaths. We saw 5. 6 increase in the total number of people tested positive in the state of california. The governor also offered assistance to people with Student Loan Debt being 21 out of the 24 largest student loan servicers have agreed to hold off on payments for 90 days. He also signed an executive order to ban debt collectors to garnish those 1200 payments that are comingthe federal government. Now we go to napa county where some businesses there are getting ready to reopen. Although its not mandatory, people are still being encouraged to wear face coverings while out in public. Cristina rendon is live now with more on these relaxed orders. Reporter well, napa countys Health Officers say after looking at the relatively low number of cases and taking into account that the numbers are not trending upward, they are choosing to slowly lift a few restrictions. A peaceful thursday morning sunrise at Eagle Vines Golf Club welcomed golfers for the first time in more than a month. Napa county residents only can golf in pairs, no carts, only walking and safety precautions must be followed. Its part of napa county amending the shelter at home order and easing some restrictions. As soon as it came out yesterday the phone had not stopped. Its exciting, a little nervous, trying to make sure everyone is doing the right thing while we are making sure we are doing the right thing. Eli that the first tee time of the day. I think golf is a sport where you can really socially distance, so i think it should be okay. Under the new revised order napa county is also allowing construction, driving religious services and landscaping and gardening services. Realtors can also show Owner Occupied homes where as before they could only show vacant homes. Showings are limited to the realtor and to buyers. As a realtor we need to be masked, we need to be wearing gloves and shoe coverings. We also have to make sure all door handles are properly cleaned and that buyers are not touching the house when they are viewing the property. Spring is the most active time of year for selling, so its very exciting. This is not a get out of jail card, this is slightly opening the door just a crack. Napa county Health Officer says the county has 57 cases of covid19 and there have been two deaths, but the numbers are not trending upwards. The deli case rate is pretty flat. And also we dont have many hospitalizations, and the volumes in the Emergency Department are low. Still she strongly recommends wearing face coverings and essential businesses and public. Back on the links golfers can not share equipment but they are happy to tee up and taken the views from wine country. I get to see it every day,he says they are taking this day by day and making measured decisions, also looking at what other Bay Area Health departments are doing as they move forward. In just five weeks, more than 26 million americans have lost their jobs. Last week a staggering 4. 4 Million People filed for unemployment benefits. Here in california the state has made almost 4 billion in Unemployment Insurance payments since march 15. Many economists verdict an appointment could search to 20 across the country. There is no question that april was a dreadful month for unemployment. And employment generally. 44 states including california are paying an additional 600 weekly in unemployment and if its which are provided under the cares act which was passed by congress. For more lets bring in james mcbride, Financial Advisor with the mcbride group. James, it is always good to have you on here. Obviously the job losses continue to mount, how much longer do you think until we reach the bottom, and until people stop applying . Unfortunately i was doing some research this afternoon and i saw a report on the labor department. They expect the number to go up to about 23 . Thats of employable persons being unemployed. To put that into perspective, there was about a 10 Unemployment Rate in the Great Recession, we are about 60 now. If it goes to 23 , we will be bitingly close to Great Depression numbers, which was 25 unemployment. So im afraid it will only go up in the foreseeable future. Weve already wiped out all of the jobs weve added since the Great Recession about a decade ago. With these huge numbers of people out of work, and obviously a whole lot more people will join the ranks of the unemployed in the country, how much do you worry about there being a backlog in delays in terms of getting people financial help and getting people into unlimited benefits . That is something that the government, to its credit, is working very hard on. If you look at the response of the government providing a quiddity for individuals, it is a big improvement over what was done in 2008 and 2009, but this is a huge country, and there is going to be some problems getting money to the people, and we saw that with getting loans to Big Companies and the companies in turn giving the money back. Its not a smooth process but i think you have to tip your head to the state of california and the federal government for sending out stimulus checks, many of which have reached friends of mine and also the state of california which is ramping up its unemployment program. In california we are talking about 3. 4 Million People have lost their jobs, like you say in the space of about five or six weeks. I went back and looked and you and i talked about seven weeks ago, at that time the unemployed number was about 200,000. We went from 200,000 to 6 million last week. The numbers are truly unbelievable. Before i let you go, what does this all mean for wall street, as stocks were relatively flat today, even with this terrible jobs report. Its almost as if investors expect that this is what is coming. What is weighing on investors right now, do you think in any way they are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel . There is a lot of talk about what things might look like once we again reopening. Do you think they have a bit of optimism . I think there is a bit of optimism, i think you your 100 right. Earlier today the stock market was up about 600 points. After the jobs report came out, so the market is doing it normal function and it is optimistic. What happened later in the day, with the drug to help people with covid19, it had some very bad numbers, Research Reports came out in the positive, it is looking forward, but any gains we have in the market are dependent on getting some sort of vaccine, getting us past this virus. Until that happens, the market will be looking over its shoulder. That is the absolute key to all of this. All right financial analyst james mcbride, always good to have you on, thank you. Thank you alex. A San Francisco supervisor is now confirming to ktvu that for residents at an assisted living facility in his district have now died from covid19. Christien kafton live for us this afternoon in the city where frustration is growing over what is taking place at this nursing home. Reporter that supervisor reaching out to the department of health in San Francisco into the state and we try to reach out to those named departments of how to get more information about those for people who have been confirmed to have died in Central Gardens and so far weve been met with little Additional Information. Central gardens convalescent hospital is the exact kind of facility officials have been most concerned about. A living situation with the vulnerable population. The facility on ellis street sits in dean prestons district, the supervisor confirming that four patients, all in their 80s, have died. It is tragic, four deaths reported there. A total of 67 people are positive, a mix of staff and residents. Ktvu spoke with a certified nursing assistant inside the facility on tuesday who said she hadnt heard of anyone dying but it was scary at first and that patients who tested positive were separated from others. For the patients security, the residents, they are better, no call for no fever, hopefully everything is okay. We try to do our best. Samantha supervisor said he reached out to the state department of Public Health and and franciscos Health Department and had a tough time getting any kind of timeline on when the patients died or any Additional Information about them. I wish i had a more thorough update that i can give you. We have been pounding on the virtual door of the department of Public Health to get more information. Ive been frustrated so far with not hitting more. Samantha supervisor says there are other Skilled Nursing facilities in his district and throughout the city and worries about the ongoing risk and says he needs more information. These folks need to be our top priority in terms of testing and prevention. We know that if they contract this virus it could well be deadly. Weve also reached out to the various departments of health. I reached out to San Franciscos department of health earlier today and they referred us to the state department of Public Health. They sent back an email late this afternoon saying they were denying my request for an interview and had no Additional Information after that about the timeline, identities of those who have died or whether or not there is an investigation currently underway. Live in San Francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. Nonetheless, very sad development at that nursing home. Nonprofits are losing out on a large portion of revenue right now. After the outbreak has forced them to cancel some important fundraisers. Up next we will talk with the the impact of calling off their gala tonight. The house approves a nearly 500 million covid19 relief bill. Coming up next, and east bay congressman joins us to talk about this new ground of funding and the frustrations surrounding it.

Our j. P. Morgan advisors are working from home to help guide you through this. For more than 200 years, weve helped our clients navigate historic challenges. And we will get through this one. Together. Just about an hour ago Congress Approved a new round of help for Small Businesses. As ray bogan reports, before that key vote, lawmakers approved and Oversight Committee into tracking the trump administrations response. Reporter wearing personal protective equipment and voting a small f identical groups to promote social distancing, the house approved a select academy to oversee the federal governments coronavirus response. Its said to consist of seven democrats and five republicans and have subpoena power. It is already being called the san, republicans and president. Eight different committees doing the work, making sure the harder tax dollars of the American People have the proper oversight, but we need a ninth for what reason, its political. This is not an antitrumper antiadministration thing, its simply to say we have to have proper accountability. The house is also set to pass 80 400 billion in Coronavirus Relief read its already been approved by the senate. The bill is an extension of the overwhelmingly bipartisan cares act and provides money for the paycheck protection program, Healthcare System and testing. Despite coming together for Coronavirus Relief, lawmakers are still on the attack. Remember, the speaker herself said theres no data that Shows Small Businesses need money. Those critical funds were blocked and held up for 16 days. Everyone knows this is not enough. Due to republican opposition, this package fails to provide necessary relief to our local, state and tribal governments. Any future coronavirus bills will have to wait. The senate is out on recess until may 4. Joining me now to talk more about todays vote is east bay congressman eric swalwell. Thank you so much for being here. This bill approved today will restart the Small Business loan program which has of course been swamped by demand. Are you confident that those who desperately need the money will in fact get it this time around . Im confident we will see a better flow of the money at this time around. Weve learned a lot from the first of 400 billion we funded. A big problem was that the banks were prioritizing their biggest clients. From their perspective they thought well lets get the bigger loans out, we make more money off of those, they are easier to process because they have an existing lender relationship. That was not the intent, and we did not intend for Companies Like ruth chris or shake shack to get the ones applying. I heard from a pastor in livermore that his church and other nonprofit organizations were having problems applying. We want the smallest of businesses, the nonprofits to be the ones to benefit, so we put reforms in place to make sure the money flows faster. We also know that there is already a massive backlog of applications, are you concerned that those who need the money may get it a little too late . Yes, that is a big concern but we did put 350 billion more dollars into the fund, 60 billion is directed toward minority communities, rural communities, the under banked microlending institutions, to try to the line if they did not have a big line of credit with the bank. The hope is that in the bay area, because weve sheltered in place that we will be one of the first to come out of this, and that we can see people going back to work very soon. So reforms have been made and we will see how it rolls out to Small Businesses this time around. There is no leaf or local governments in this bill, do you think there should have been . Yes, in the last bill we passed over 100 billion for state and local governments, and this is not a red state, blue state problem. Senator mcconnell said today we dont want to bail out states, the whole country is suffering from this, weve all been hit in the es that are stepping up to pay for hospital needs, Unemployment Insurance, can get help from the federal government. We are all in this together, going through it together and we need to come out of it together. That also includes funding for our schools, especially to connect students who do not have distant learning connectivity. We really need to make sure. I see that in hayward and other parts of the district that not every student is able to do Distance Learning so we need to be able to give states the funding they need to connect all students. I want to get back to todays vote, normal procedure changed dramatically since there was a vote last time, just about three weeks ago. Tell us what things were like on the house floor today. It was a scene ill never forget heather. We were voting essentially with a few dozen members at a time, in 10 minute blocks, everyone wearing a face mask and using Hand Sanitizer and quickly getting off the floor. I attended an Intelligence Committee hearing and we were all spread out this morning wearing face masks. I told my colleagues that if you took a dramatic of this today and went back in time and showed it to me a month ago i never would have believed the scene, but these are the times and i think we have to lead by example and show what the future workplace will look like for the next couple of months if we are going to climb out of this. All right congressman swalwell, i appreciate your time today. My pleasure, be safe, thank you heather. It was a wonderfully warm day around the bay area, and mark is here to tell us that we will bump the temperatures up even a little more than this. Yeah, thats right, we will turn up the heat a little more in your friday forecast.
