.USING
.USING GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I'M CARLOS KATO. AND I'M BARBARA LEE
EDWARDS LOCAL BEACHES START TO
REOPEN. IT WAS A DAY LOCAL
SURFERS AND SWIMMERS HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOR BUT THERE ARE SOME
STRICT RULES IN CITY AND COUNTY
LEADERS ARE REMINDING
THE PUBLIC THE THREAT OF CORONA
VIRUS IS FAR FROM OVER. NEWS A
STEEP PRICE HAS MORE ON WHAT'S
ALLOWED AND WHAT ISN'T AND
WHICH BEACHES ARE STILL CLOSED
TONIGHT. BEACHES HERE IN
THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO ALONG
WITH ENCINITAS AND CORONADO
HAVE REOPEN FOR LIMITED
ACTIVITY. YOU CAN'T DO
EVERYTHING. BUT SAN DIEGO AND
SAY IT'S A GOOD START TIME.
THEY STARTED SHOWING UP AT
THE CRACK OF DAWN SURFERS
RACING TO THE WATER. I'M SUPER
STOKED, MAN MATTHEW POOR KEEP
THE WAVES MPP AND HE HAD
COMPANY OUT THERE BUT HE'S
STILL FELT SAFE, STILL ABLE TO
SOCIAL DISTANCE. HE REALLY CAN
MY PEOPLE WE ALL KEEP OUR
DISTANCE. THERE ARE NO GOODBYES
AND WHEN EVERYONE GETAWAYS IT'S
PRETTY COOL. WE ALSO SAW A LOT
OF PEOPLE MOVING ON THE SAND
DOING THEIR BEST TO STAY SIX
FEET APART DRAWING PRAISE THIS
AFTERNOON FROM MAYOR KEVIN
FAULCONER. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT
YOU STAY CLASSY SAN DIEGO. VERY
WELL DONE SO FAR. THAT SAID,
SOME WERE CLEARLY STILL
CONFUSED BY THE RULES AND WHAT
YOU CAN'T DO LIKE TRAVEL ON
THE BOARDWALK AND MANY WERE
SURPRISED TO SEE BEACH PARKING
LOTS LIKE THE ONE INTERNALLY
CLOSED TO CARS. THE GOAL IS TO
KEEP PEOPLE FROM CONGREGATING
DOWN HERE WITH THE FAMILY TO
MOVE IN. WE WANTED TO BE OPEN.
LIFEGUARDS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
WERE OUT EDUCATING BEACHGOERS,
MAKING SURE THEY UNDERSTAND
THE RULES. HERE'S A BASIC
REMINDER THE DOS. SURFING,
SWIMMING PADDLE SWORDS RUNNING
JOGGING DOWN THE BEACH TO
THE DANCE. DON'T BRING YOUR
BEACH TOWEL AND YOUR UMBRELLA
IN YOUR TERRITORY WHERE YOU
CAN'T STOP. CURRENTLY ONLY
BEACHES IN THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO ENCINITAS CORONADO
OCEANSIDE AND IMPERIAL BEACH
ARE OPEN. IF ALL GOES WELL
OTHERS COULD JOIN THEM STARTING
BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND THEN
HOPEFULLY MORE RESTRICTIONS
WILL BE LOOSENED AFTER THAT.
BUT FIRST SAN DIEGO KIDS WHO
LOVE THE BEACH. THIS IS A GREAT
START. THE BEACHES OPEN
THE SURFACE GOOD. I'M HAPPY IN
PACIFIC BEACH, STEVE PRICE,
NEWSDAY. AND HERE ARE
THE LATEST CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS
FROM THE COUNTY. TODAY 98 NEW
CASES WERE REPORTED. THAT
BRINGS THE TOTAL TO THREE
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY ONE
.TWO MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED. A
MAN AND A WOMAN BOTH HAD
UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDITIONS.
BRAD BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
DEATHS IN THE COUNTY TO 113
TODAY. COUNTY HEALTH LEADERS
STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF
CONTINUING CERTAIN PRACTICES
LIKE SOCIAL DISTANCING TO AVOID
A SPIKE IN CASES STARTING ON
FRIDAY. FACIAL COVERINGS WILL
BE REQUIRED IN PUBLIC ANY TIME
YOU'RE WITHIN SIX FEET OF
ANYONE WHO IS NOT A MEMBER OF
YOUR HOUSEHOLD. SCIENTISTS AT
SCRIPPS RESEARCH IN LA HOYA ARE
LOOKING FOR KOVAC 19 SURVIVORS
TO GIVE BLOOD SAMPLES AS YOU
SAY. DAVID GOT FITS AND REPORTS
TONIGHT. RESEARCHERS ARE HOPING
TO IDENTIFY THE BEST ANTIBODIES
THAT COULD BE USED TO
NEUTRALIZE THIS DEADLY VIRUS.
WE NOW HAVE IDENTIFIED
MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES THAT
ALREADY APPEAR TO BIND TO
THE VIRUS. DR. THOMAS RODGERS
WITH SCRIPPS RESEARCH IN LA
HOYA IS LOOKING FOR A NEEDLE IN
A HAYSTACK OF ANTIBODIES.
THE ONES THAT WORK BEST TO KILL
KOVAC 19. THIS IS A STUDY TO
ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE VERY GOOD FIGHTING OFF
THE VIRUS AND THEN LOOKING FOR
A THERAPEUTIC THAT WE CAN GIVE
BROADLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.
DR. RODGERS HOPES TO COLLECT
THOUSANDS OF BLOOD SAMPLES IN
PATIENTS WHO HAVE RECOVERED
FROM KOVAC 19 BY SENDING THOSE
PATIENTS A BLOOD TEST KIT IN
THE MAIL. INDIVIDUALS CAN TAKE
A DEVICE AND SEND IT OUT IN
THE MAIL. YOU PLACE IT ON YOUR
ARM. IT COLLECTS A VERY SMALL
AMOUNT OF BLOOD. YOU THEN MAIL
BACK TO US. WE THEN CAN ASK DID
YOU DEVELOP A VERY AGGRESSIVE
IMMUNE RESPONSE AND FIGHT OFF
THE VIRUS? AND CAN WE REACH
BACK OUT TO YOU AND ISOLATE
THOSE CELLS THAT WERE POTENT TO
STOPPING THE VIRUS ONCE THEY
GET THE BLOOD SAMPLES.
SCIENTISTS WILL TEST
THE ANTIBODY IN THE LAB TO SEE
WHICH ONES NEUTRALIZE THE VIRUS
THE BEST THE ONES THAT WORK
WELL WILL BE MASS PRODUCED FOR
FUTURE THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES AND
MAY ALSO HELP IN DEVELOPING IN
DEVELOPING A VACCINE. FINDING
THOSE PEOPLE THAT FOUGHT
THE VIRUS OFF THE MOST IS
THE BEST WAY TO FIND AN
ANTIBODY MEDICATION DR ROGERS
HAS ALREADY RECEIVED ABOUT A
THOUSAND EMAILS FROM PEOPLE
WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE STUDY. WE'VE POSTED A LINK
AT CBSA THAT COM DAVID I WOULD
IMAGINE YOU'D HAVE TO BE A
CONFIRMED CULVERT 19 SURVIVOR
BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE PART IN
THIS STUDY. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU
CAN ONLY TAKE PART IF YOU'VE
TESTED POSITIVE WITH A NASAL
SWAB AND YOU MUST BE FULLY
RECOVERED BEFORE YOU CAN JOIN
THIS STUDY. ALL RIGHT, DAVID,
THANK YOU. TWO DUBIOUS DO IT
YOURSELF. CURES AND TREATMENTS
FOR COGAN, 19 ARE CIRCULATING
ONLINE THE VERIFY TEAM. CHECK
THEM OUT WITH THE EXPERTS.
HERE'S EVAN KOZLOV.
THE VERIFIED TEAM IS HERE TO
SHUT DOWN MISINFORMATION ON
SOCIAL MEDIA AND WE'VE BEEN
BUSY. OUR INBOX HAS BEEN
FILLING UP WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT
SOME OF THESE DO IT YOURSELF
REMEDIES THAT ARE SPREADING
ONLINE. SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
TWO OF THESE VIRAL CLAIMS TO
FIND OUT IF THEY'RE TRUE.
QUESTION 1 LET'S VERIFY WHILE
DRINKING HOT LEMON WATER WITH
BAKING SODA. KILL THE VIRUS TO
FIND OUT. WE CONTACTED ONE
SOURCES A MICROBIOLOGY EXPERT
AT THE GEORGE WASHINGTON
UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
AND HEALTH SCIENCES. HE TELLS
US THAT CORONAVIRUS ATTACKS
YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AS A
WHOLE, INCLUDING THE CELLS IN
YOUR THROAT AND LEMON WATER
JUST DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO
REVERSE THAT. A FREE FLOATING
DISH AND THAT FINDING OF THROAT
IS VERY, VERY LATER THAN MOST
OF THE LETTUCES INSIDE
THE CELLS THAT DRINK CANNOT
PENETRATE IN THE CELLS AND KILL
THE VIRUS. WE ALSO LOOK TO
THE CDC AND THE W.H. SHOW
NEITHER OF WHICH HAD ANY
EVIDENCE THAT THIS WOULD WORK.
SO WE CAN VERIFY THIS ONE IS
FALSE. OKAY. WHAT ABOUT THIS
ONLINE CLAIM? DOES BLOW DRYING
YOUR NOSTRILS KILL THE VIRUS?
THIS MIGHT SOUND A LITTLE OUT
THERE BUT ONLINE PEOPLE ARE
SWEARING THAT THIS WORKS. OUR
EXPERT SAYS NO. HE SAYS THAT
WOULD NOT BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY
TO KILL THE VIRUS AND NEITHER
THE CDC NOR THE W.H. CHO HAVE
PEGGED THIS AS POSSIBLE
TREATMENT. THE CDC SAYS
THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT
YOURSELF IS TO STICK TO
THE BASICS. WASH YOUR HANDS
WITH SOAP AND WATER, USE HAND
SANITIZER OR AVOID TOUCHING
YOUR FACE. IN PRACTICE SOCIAL
DISTANCE YOU VERIFY THIS IS
EVEN COST CORONA VIRUS HAS HIT
SAN DIEGO IS HARD. MANY OF OUR
NEIGHBORS ARE STRUGGLING WITH
LOST JOBS OR BUSINESSES FORCED
TO CLOSE IN. IN THESE
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES. ONE THING
IS CERTAIN SAN DIEGO IS ARE
THERE FOR ONE ANOTHER. PLEASE
JOIN US FOR OUR NEWS 8 SPECIAL
BETTER TOGETHER WEDNESDAY AT
630 ON CBS. WE WILL BE JOINED
BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE ON
THE FRONTLINES FINDING
SOLUTIONS AND SHARING THEIR
STORIES IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
OR WOULD LIKE TO HELP. WE HOPE
TO HAVE YOU HERE WITH US
WEDNESDAY AT SIX THIRTY PM IF
YOU'VE LOOKED AT THE OCEAN OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS YOU MAY
HAVE LOOKED TWICE. COMING UP
TONIGHT WHILE IT MAY LOOK BAD,
THERE'S ACTUALLY A PERFECTLY
NATURAL REASON FOR IT AND WHILE
IT'S COOLED OFF QUITE A BIT.
COASTAL INLAND AREAS WE STILL
HAVE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
OVER THE DESERT NOW WILL BE IN
PLACE UNTIL THURSDAY. I'M
METEOROLOGIST SEAN STILES.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR
MICROCREDIT FORECAST WHICH FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME
HAS A SURF REPORT IN IT. PLUS
WE RECOGNIZE THE HEROES WHO ARE
GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND DURING
THIS CRISIS. IF YOU WANT TO
GIVE SOMEONE A SHOUT OUT JUST
TEXAS THEIR PICTURE ALONG WITH
THEIR NAME WHAT THEY DO. 2 8 5
8 5 7 1 8 8 8 8. BUT BEFORE WE
GO TO BREAK TONIGHT YOU HAVE
QUESTIONS AND WE'RE GETTING
SOME ANSWERS. ADMITTEDLY
TONIGHT'S QUESTION COULD HAVE
SOME DIFFERENT ANSWERS. WHAT'S
IT LIKE TO CATCH CORONAVIRUS?
LET'S ASK SOMEONE WHO HAS
RECOVERED. HERE'S ROBERT WORDEN
FROM ENCINITAS DESCRIBING HIS
EXPERIENCE. FIRST TIME I
STARTED FEELING SICK IT WAS
JUST KIND OF A SORE THROAT.
SEEMED LIKE A NORMAL COUGH
COLD. MY WIFE WAS SICK ABOUT A
DAY BEFORE SO MAYBE IT WAS JUST
WHATEVER SHE HAD. BUT IT ALSO
COINCIDED WITH SOME FATIGUE AND
BODY ACHES AND JUST NOT FEELING
GENERALLY MYSELF. AFTER THAT IT
TURNED INTO MORE OF A HEADACHE.
KIND OF THIS DEBILITATING KIND
OF SINUS HEADACHE IN
THE AFTERNOON SPECIFICALLY
WHERE I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GO
LAY DOWN AND RELAX AND THEN AT
THE WEIRD ONE WAS I CAN SMELL
OR TASTE
