The counties combined have a flocking to area beaches and total of 500,000 residents. Parks and disregarding existing shelter in place orders. I would not say im tired of so far the governor has refused it, it is frustrating. To lift any stayathome orders but i understand that it is anywhere here in california. Kind of necessary. But as the governor reports progress being made in terms of flattening the coronavirus curve here in our state, these are the latest figures from the last 24 hours. Reporter from the north bay he says 45 people lost their to santa cruz and points in between, it is a new rebellion as traffic chokes roadways and side streets in an attempt to lives to the virus. Last wednesday we saw the get out and get away. States worst day for death at i think that people maybe had a little bit of fatigue 115. The governor said the icu number went up by just one expe from staying indoors for over a month. And we saw a big influx of traffic coming to our beaches. Reporter officials report unsafe behavior with little to no social distancing. Easing of restrictions in a matter of weeks, if the trends continue. As i said, weeks, not that is catching the eye of the months. If the data continues to be as stable as it has been over the course of the last few weeks. The only thing that can stop governor. If there are people thumbing their nose and abusing it, that is more images, again, putting their lives at risk like we saw over this weekend. Because they are impacting the lives of others, and ultimately setting back the cost of reopening, the economy, as quickly as we would like to, i think we may have to do a little bit more. He encouraged people to act reporter that little bit more is greater enforcement. Appropriately, saying that failing to follow social currently people are allowed outside to exercise as long as they maintain social distancing but many forget or dont care once they are free from homebound life. Expert say that is because collective fatigue is setting distancing guidelines will set in. After a while he will wear on people, no question about that. Reporter he is a santa the state back as it works Clara University psychologist. People want green space. Toward reopening. People want nature, they want the Governor Also Announced to be outside, and they get a that nevada and colorado will be joining the western States Coalition of california, oregon and washington for a coordinated approach to reopening. San franciscos mayor said psychological benefit. Today that she has learned that they get a mood uplift from this, it helps to manage fema did not shipments of anxiety and depression. Wind up protective equipment meant for the city as she said last week. Not only do i want to apologize to fema for that particular information and providing inaccurate information, i want to also just point talked about are still challenges that we face. She said on friday that some prot fema. To be diverted to other locations. She said a third party that cla investigated. She said obtaining protective equipment including gloves, gowns and surgical masks continues to be difficult. She said she is also concerned for businesses like salons and restaurants. For more on her statements and also the extension of the stayathome orders here in the bay area, we want to bring in once again mark devoe, a former fema president ial employee. Nice to see you. Mayor breed today correcting her inaccurate remarks. She apologized and said that providing inaccurate information is not only irresponsible, it is also dangerous. Im sure that fema officials were not happy about being publicly accused of something that they had not done. Good afternoon, heather. I think what we saw there was a slight of stress and humanity. She can forward to say this is the information that i thought was accurate, it wasnt and i corrected it. You know, everybody is under a great deal of stress, including our mayors. They want to have the right answer for their healthcare workers and their citizens and they are struggling with this as well. But what is important about the correction isnt just that fema might be right. But it is important for our an operational perspective because you want the public, the healthcare workers, everyone involved in this, the citizens, to understand that everybody is doing everything within their power to try to make this thing, you know, as good as possible, trying to adjudicate, get ppe, find solutions, used the defense logistics. Whatever is necessary to try and help their neighbors. Everybody is all in. That there isnt this us versus them mentality and that everyone is working together. Talk a little bit more about the relationship between fema and city officials during a crisis such as this. What typically happens, when you are managing a disaster of this size and magnitude, remember, this is historic, never in our countrys history have we had 50 states operating under a president ial disaster declaration, which we have today, unheardof. So the federal government typically interacts with the State Governments, the State Government interacts with the counties, tier. For instance, when you go to a Disaster Field Office which is hed in whatever state that has taken place, it is called a joint field office for a reason. And that is that they want to have all levels of government, under the same roof, participating. Because the federal government recognizes the solutions to any resolution for a disaster, the whole community, everybody participating, including voluntary agencies. I want to get back to the other headlines today, that is the extension of the stayat home orders. Not really a big surprise here, we dont know a lot of details, we do know that some of the restrictions will be easy but we dont know which ones those are, we are expecting to learn more about that later this week. Not a real big surprise here. No, and i see what we see, i should say, is that a blip overnight, you see icu beds go up a little bit, hospitalizations but when you look at the number of people involved, the number is lower than the peak we had about a week ago and maybe 10 days ago for hospitalizations a week for icu. So what you are seeing is a trend downward in terms of flattening that curve and we are not overwhelming the hospitals with covid19 patients. That was the key to all of this was to flatten, so the governors, you know, he had six factors he was looking at, ppe, whether we had hospitalization, a second wave coming in we test and trace, etc. , are we going to take care of our vulnerable populations . This administration is on the path of accomplishing most of those and you are starting to see flattening so you heard him talk a little bit about it today, a couple of weeks we might get more tomorrow about certain areas darting to open up a little. Before i let you go, i want to talk more about this joint statement by the six bay area counties. All of them acknowledging that the stayathome orders are working, slowing the spread, and also preventing the hospital rooms, the hospitals, rather, from being ovwhdination that is happening amongst the cities. As they tried to figure out all of the driving factors to make these types of decisions. No question. And what is interesting about it is the San Francisco bay area, that is the seven, eight counties within the bay area, they have been very proactive under what is known as an urban Area Security Initiative Grant funding. And so for years, the different areas of the health sector, police, fire, emergency management, voluntary agencies have been training and exercising together, and i think we are starting to see those exercises payoff in this pandemic. It definitely seems that there is a lot of putting nation comes to next steps. Always a pleasure. Thank you. Coming up here, the cdc announces new symptoms associated with covid19. And up next we speak with an expert to learn more about the latest coronavirus research. Plus several states including georgia have started reopening their economies. What business looks like there. Were all doi notably warmer, partly cloudy skies, temperatures reaching into the low 80s for some of the warmer spots. We check in with the Current Conditions and show you what you can expect for tomorrow, coming up. E. Stay well and keep it golden. I dont have to worry about that, do i . Are irritated.

Help prevent them before they start with downy wrinkleguard. Several states now planning to ease the stayathome policies this week. This as Health Officials identify more symptoms of the coronavirus. Jonathan siri has more now. Reporter dining in may look a lot different in the age of social distancing. This is the case in several states across the country as nonessential businesses begin to open the george and tennessee required to wear masks. Opening as quickly as we possibly can, without making sure our protocols are in place, everybody fully understands the protocols, i just dont think it is imperative. Reporter as this heir is continue to face outbreaks, officials fear opening up may cause infections despite. If you are not smart, you will see that infection rate go right back to where it was, will be right back to where we were 58 days ago. Reporter Health Officials continue to learn more about the virus, the centers for Disease Control and prevention added six new symptoms to its list including headaches, chills, and loss of taste or smell. That is in addition to a high fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Health experts warned the uncertainty of the virus is reason to pause. Stayathome is crucial in areas where there is large outbreaks going on when people are dying or people are still getting sick. Reporter symptoms can appear up to 14 days after exposure, and i am johnson seri. We are joined now by. It is good to have you on here. So when we are hearing that the cdc is expanding the list of potential symptoms, does that mean that the coronavirus is changing somehow . As it spreads through the . Or are we just sort of playing catchup in terms of understanding how the virus resents in a patient . I dont think it is changing the way it presents but as we learn more, we are able to include other symptoms, into the package that we had before. Initially, cdc was saying cough, fever, shortness of breath. Now they are including six other symptoms which we have been hearing about a lot in the last few weeks, the people have been having but those had been anecdotal cases. Now we are seeing that the cdc is including those, in our symptoms for covid19 that we should be on the lookout for. And with that ultimately will mean, which is a good thing, is that more people will be able to get tested. I was going to say, right now the testing, of course, is limited in so many ways, you know, in particular to first responders, healthcare workers and those were actually presenting symptoms of coronavirus. Have to imagine that there is likely to be a surge in additional people who are showing up at some of these testing sites because now, they look at the symptoms they have or did have and they think that could have been coronavirus. I think, with the availability of social media, and the news and peoples access to this, i think people have known about the symptoms for way longer than, you know, just now. The fact that the cdc is actually including the now in their list of symptoms to look out for is just going to help us because you are right, more people are going to be able to go up to the testing site and say i had this particular symptoms, and they will qualify to be able to get tested which they probably would not have qualified before. So this will be good because now people are not going to have to try to find loopholes. They will now have justification to be able to go to the testing site and get tested without a problem. That is going to mean that we need a whole lot more testing kits to be available. Where do we stand . You know, in terms of, in terms of getting more testing sites and kits up and running . I know we are still working on that, we do need support from the national level, testing about 16 to 18,000 people a day, we are trying to get that up to about 25,000 people by the end of this month, and i know that we need those numbers to hit close to 80,000 to 100,000 if we want to start thinking about reopening the economy. We need to be able to test aggressively in order to open the economy back up and in order to be able to find little surges and then to contact tracing, also, so we need to have testing widely available. Are we there yet . I dont think so but we definitely are working on being come you know, just more available for our patients, for people who do need to get tested. Let me ask you before i let you go, about another piece of news that has come out here on the virus, apparently doctors around the country are starting to see more and more middle aged people, folks in their 30s and 40s were suffering serious strokes. You know, as a result ofby blood clots, that are being produced throughout the body by the virus. How troubled are you by this phenomenon . It is concerning because up until now we were thinking this is primarily a respiratory disease but what we are finding out is that like other viruses like hiv, the risk of clotting is much higher with people who have covid. There are so many different studies out right now but one particular study from the netherlands actually said that 30 of people who are critically ill actually had clotting disorders that were positive for coronavirus. And no one has actually seen this kind of magnitude of clotting disorders and critically ill patients. Icu doctors are used to increase in clotting disorders but not to this magnitude so it is concerning and what we are finding is that where large arteries are being affected, those are the ones causing the strokes, and there are heart attacks being caused, so all of this is very concerning and we are still learning about it every single day. It is a work in progress here in terms the research. And obviously, yeah, not just attacking the lungs as he pointed out, it is attacking other organs in the body. It is always good to have you on. Thank you. A really nice weekend, followed up by really nice monday. Lets talk about the conditions with rosemary. Good afternoon. We do have beautiful weather across the bay area this afternoon, temperatures unseasonably warm, once again, and that trend is going to continue into your bay area tuesday. Outside at the sour, a lot of sunshine to go around, we have partly cloudy skies, right at the coastline but most of us enjoying a lot of blue sky, a few mid and high level clouds but that really is about it. 83 degrees right now in santa rosa, 66 in San Francisco, low 70s and oakland, upper 70s for san jose and concord checking in at 82 degrees. Here is a look at how much warmer we are, right now compared to yesterday. Up by eight degrees over areas like napa, up by eight over oakland, for our south bay, just a little bit warmer, san jose up by two degrees as well as along the coastline. The wind, northwest and west, a wind gust of 35 Miles Per Hour so a bit breezy, closer to the coast and just inside the bay. Half moon bay reporting 13 mph and gusting to 17. San jose also sustained at 17. You can see the northwest flow that continues over the bay area, and if you look closely you can pick up on the mid and high level clouds that are sweeping and as well, just on the southern edge of the system that is moving to the Pacific Northwest. We are going to remain dry for tomorrow, High Pressure will continue to build in and temperatures are expected to hit 90 degrees for some of the hotter spots. Heres a look into the north bay were areas over santa rosa and napa, a little breezy as well. So tomorrow afternoon you can see break away to partly cloudy skies at the coast, mostly clear for the rest of us, temperatures expected to warm into the upper 70s over areas like santa cruz for tomorrow, low 80s for some of the warmer, bayside communities and the citys inland, ill have extended forecast coming up in just a little bit. Up next year, rumors are swirling around the fate of north korea leader kim jong room and up next the questions that surround his condition after a possible botched heart surgery.

Will. Never. Quit. Because they never quit. Mixed messages as to the condition of north koreas leader. Greg talcott reports that kim johnson has not been seen in public since april 11. Fueling speculation that something has happened to him. Reporter rumors have persisted for more than a week with him incapacitated or even dead following heart surgery. South korea has brushed aside reports. On monday the spokesperson said there were no indications anyone other than kim is in charge in north. But also acknowledging there may be some truth to the rumors. I think there are new supports because it is not totally baseless. But if it is true, there has to be medical evidence that supports the roman. Reporter is not been seen in public since april 11 and he has missed several important events including the celebration of his grandfathers birthday. There were no Images Released from a recent Ballistic Missile test he reportedly attended leading to new speculation he may have been injured during the launch. There have been pictures released of him at every one of these tests and this time, no picture is released of the test but the test did go forward. That is an indication that something happened on april 14. Reporter if you lawmakers on capitol hill are suggesting the possible demise present an opportunity for regime change. But some analysts say in orderly succession is a better option than a possible civil war within north korea. It is most likely, if there was a contestant the session and we us
