OF MEALS
OF MEALS ARE GOING OUT TO PEOPLE IN NEED. HOW YOU CAN HELP. NEWS 8 AT 5 STARTS NOW.
AN UPDATE TONIGHT TO THE SAN
DIEGO COUNTY'S PUBLIC HEALTH
ORDER. GOOD EVENING AND THANK
YOU FOR JOINING US. I'M CARLOS
RICARDO. AND I'M BARBARA LEE
EDWARDS. HERE ARE TONIGHT'S TOP
STORIES BEGINNING MIDNIGHT
MONDAY. ALL BANK AND PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION WORKERS WILL BE
REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS AND THAT
INCLUDES BUS DRIVERS, TROLLEY
OPERATORS ALONG WITH TAXI AND
RIDE SHARE DRIVERS. THE COUNTY
ALSO ANNOUNCED 98 NEW POSITIVE
CORONA VIRUS CASES TODAY
BRINGING THE TOTAL TO SIXTEEN
HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT. THEY
ALSO ANNOUNCED FOUR MORE
DEATHS. THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL
TO 40 SAILOR ONBOARD THE USS
ROOSEVELT IS IN THE INTENSIVE
CARE UNIT TONIGHT AFTER TESTING
POSITIVE FOR CORONA VIRUS.
THE NAVY SAYS THE SAILOR WAS IN
ISOLATION WHEN HE WAS FOUND
UNRESPONSIVE AT THE NAVAL BASE
IN GUAM AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO
THE HOSPITAL NEWS. KELLY HESS,
IT ALL HAS THE LATEST ON THIS
CASE AS WELL AS WHAT OFFICIALS
AT NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO ARE
DOING TO MAKE SURE THE STATE
SAILORS THERE STAY SAFE WHILE
THE SAILOR TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONA VIRUS MORE THAN A WEEK
AGO. HE WAS IN ISOLATION AND IT
WAS DURING A ROUTINE WELFARE
CHECK. HE WAS FOUND
UNRESPONSIVE SO EARLY THIS
MORNING WE HAD OUR FIRST
HOSPITALIZATION OF THE ONE
SAILOR YOU KNOW, I GUESS DEEP
DOWN I WAS HOPING THAT WE WOULD
NEVER GET TO THE POINT. I WAS
HOPING THAT THE NUMBERS WOULD
BE ZERO AT THE END OF THIS. BUT
THAT'S JUST NOT GOING TO BE
THE CASE WITH ROTAVIRUS. TOP
MILITARY OFFICIALS SAY THERE
ARE MORE THAN 400 CREW MEMBERS
ABOARD THE USS ROOSEVELT
INFECTED WITH KOVAC 19 AND ONE
IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT.
THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER HAS BEEN
DOCKED IN GUAM FOR MORE THAN A
WEEK. WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT
SAILOR RECOVERS. WE'RE PRAYING
FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND HIS
SHIPMATES. THIS SHIP HAS BEEN
AT THE CENTER OF CONTROVERSY.
THE OUTBREAK ON BOARD IS TIED
TO THE DISMISSAL OF CAPTAIN
BRETT CROZIER AND THEN TO
THE RESIGNATION OF ACTING NAVY
SECRETARY THOMAS MOBLEY.
MILITARY OFFICIALS SAY THE USS
ROOSEVELT IS UNLIKELY TO BE
THE ONLY DEPLOYED SHIP AFFECTED
BY CORONA VIRUS. BOTH THE USNS
COMFORT, A NEW YORK CITY USNS
MERCY AND L.A. HAVE HAD AT
LEAST ONE CREW MEMBER TEST
POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS. AS FOR
THE USS NIMITZ, THERE'S BEEN A
VERY SMALL NUMBER OF BREAKOUTS
ON THE NIMITZ. AND WE'RE
WATCHING THAT VERY CLOSELY
BEFORE THE NEW MUCH GO OUT. BUT
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A HUGE
BREAKOUT. IT'S NOT A BIG SPIKE
AT THIS POINT. MEANWHILE AT
NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO,
EVERYTHING THE CDC IS
RECOMMENDING. WE HAVE ALSO
IMPLEMENTED OBVIOUSLY WITH
SAILORS LIVING IN SUCH CLOSE
QUARTERS AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S
ALWAYS CONCERN ABOUT PEOPLE
GETTING SICK. WE WORK IN CLOSE
QUARTERS SO THE COMMANDING
OFFICERS ON THE SHIPS THEY'RE
UNDER VERY, VERY STRICT
GUIDELINES ON HOW THEY'RE HOW
THEY'RE DEALING WITH THIS.
THERE HAVE BEEN CASES COVERED
19 ON BASE. BUT CAPTAIN MARK
SWAMI SAYS THERE'S STILL
CONDUCTING TRAINING EXERCISES
AND READY TO RESPOND IF NEEDED
BECAUSE THE WORLD IT WAS IT WAS
A VERY UNCERTAIN PLACE ORDERS.
AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS ALL
THIS INTERNATIONALLY. SO
THE FOLKS HERE, THE SAILORS
TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.
MEANWHILE, A SPOKESPERSON WITH
THE NAVY TELLS ME A NEWS
CONFERENCE WITH THE SEVENTH
FLEET ADMIRAL IS EXPECTED TO
HAPPEN EITHER TONIGHT OR
POSSIBLY TOMORROW. WE WILL KEEP
YOU POSTED. BACK TO YOU.
THANKS, KELLY. THE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY IS OFFERING A NEW
INTERACTIVE TOOL TO GET QUICK
LOCAL INFORMATION RELATED TO
THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC.
THERE'S A DASHBOARD ON
THE COUNTY'S CORONA VIRUS WEB
SITE WITH INFORMATION THAT IS
UPDATED DAILY FROM CONFIRMED
CASES TO ZIP CODE BREAKDOWN.
THE NEW DASHBOARD COMES AT
THE SAME TIME AS A CHANGE TO
THE PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER. BUT WE
HAVE AMENDED OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
ORDER TO INCLUDE EMPLOYEES OF A
FEW ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES WHERE
IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT
THE EMPLOYEES OF THOSE HAVE
FACE COVERINGS THAT INCLUDES
BANKS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
EMPLOYEES. THE REVISED ORDER
WILL TAKE EFFECT MONDAY AT
MIDNIGHT. COUNTY LEADERS ARE
STILL ENCOURAGING ALL SAN DIEGO
HAS TO WEAR A FACE COVERING
ANYTIME THEY LEAVE THE HOUSE
FOR ANY REASON. WITH A SURGE IN
COVER, 19 CASES EXPECTED SOON,
SCRIPPS HEALTH IS ISSUING A
PLEA TO THE PUBLIC TO HELP KEEP
HEALTH CARE WORKERS SAFE. AS AN
EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN, I CAN TELL
YOU THERE'S NOTHING MORE
HEARTBREAKING THAN SEEING
PATIENTS STRUGGLE AND FIGHT FOR
THEIR LIFE IN THE INTENSIVE
CARE UNIT ON A VENTILATOR.
SOMETIMES THERE'S THINGS THAT
WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT
ALL OF THAT. THE SOCIAL
DISTANCING HANDWASHING NOT
COMING TO WORK OR BEING AROUND
OTHERS WHEN YOU'RE SICK. THOSE
ARE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO.
DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
THAT LOOK BACK AND SAY WHAT
COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOW. I
REALLY NEED YOUR HELP TO KEEP
US ALL SAFE SCRIPTS HEALTH.
TODAY ALSO ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCH
OF THE FASTEST AVAILABLE TEST
FOR DETECTING CORONA VIRUS.
THIS RAPID TEST CAN DELIVER A
POSITIVE RESULT IN AS LITTLE AS
FIVE MINUTES AND A NEGATIVE
RESULT IN 13 MINUTES. IT'S
AVAILABLE AT ALL FIVE OF
SCRIPTS HOSPITAL CAMPUSES
ACROSS THE COUNTY AND IT WILL
BE USED FOR PATIENTS REQUIRING
A QUICK DIAGNOSIS. FEARS ARE
GROWING FOR SAN DIEGO WHO HAVE
FAMILY MEMBERS SENIOR CARE
FACILITIES RIGHT NOW AS WE'RE
SEEING AN ALARMING RISE IN
CORONA VIRUS CASES AT NURSING
HOMES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
HEATHER HOPE SPOKE WITH A
MEMBER OF OUR NEWS STATE FAMILY
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS MOTHER WHO
IS IN ASSISTED LIVING. IT'S AN
ALREADY TENSE TIME AMID THIS
CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK AND THOSE
FEARS AREN'T BEING CALM. FOR
THOSE WITH LOVED ONES INSIDE
NURSING HOMES FILLED WITH AN
ALREADY AT RISK AN ELDERLY
POPULATION SINCE FOR THE AGES
IT IS LET'S GIVE YOU A NICE
SAFE. IT'S BEEN TOUGH FOR JOAN
MATER'S LEAD EDITOR NEWS 8 NOT
SEEING HIS 78 YEAR OLD MOTHER
ELEANOR. SHE'S HANGING IN
THERE. I THINK SHE KIND OF
GRASPS A LITTLE WHAT'S GOING ON
BUT NOT REALLY. THE HARDEST
THING FOR ME WAS IT WAS HER
BIRTHDAY LAST MONTH AND SHE
LOVES CHICKEN, LOVES FRIED
CHICKEN. I COULDN'T BRING HER
FRIED CHICKEN THAT REALLY FELT
BAD ABOUT THAT. BUT ELEANOR HAS
BEEN IN THE ACORN OAKS MANOR
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY IN SAN
DIEGO FOR SEVEN YEARS. JOEL
SAYS IT HAS NO CORONA VIRUS
CASES REPORTED. BUT I TALKED TO
HER TWICE A DAY GENERALLY AT
LEAST TWICE A DAY. SHE CALLS ME
TO ME WHAT SHE HAD IN AFTER
LUNCH AND WHAT SHE HAD FOR
DINNER. IT'S A DIRE SCENE IN
RIVERSIDE. MORE THAN 80 NURSING
HOME RESIDENTS WERE EVACUATED
IN AMBULANCES WITH 39 CASES OF
CORONA VIRUS AFTER NURSES
FEARING FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY
REFUSED TO SHOW UP. I THINK
THEIR FEAR MIGHT HAVE LED THEM
TO MAKE A DECISION THAT MIGHT
NOT HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT
DECISION FOR THEIR PATIENTS. I
SYMPATHIZE. SIDES NEED TO TAKE
CARE OF THE PEOPLE BUT AT
THE SAME TIME YOU DO HAVE TO GO
HOME TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
THEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IN
WASHINGTON STATE, NEW JERSEY,
MARYLAND AND GROWING IN
CALIFORNIA MORE AND HALF
THE NURSING HOMES IN NEW JERSEY
HAVE AT LEAST ONE CASE THREE
PATIENTS HAVE DIED AT A NURSING
HOME IN MISSOURI AND AT A HOME
NEAR RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, 33
HAVE DIED. PEOPLE ARE
TERRIFIED. PEOPLE JUST DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE SITUATION
HAS RATTLED WENDY AZIZ WHOSE 90
YEAR OLD MOTHER IS IN A NURSING
HOME IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
I'M NERVOUS FOR HER GETTING ILL
AND I'M NERVOUS IN THE FACT
THAT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HELP
HER? WHAT IS THE BEST THING FOR
ME TO DO? L.A. COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICIALS HAVE TOLD FAMILIES TO
CONSIDER MOVING THEIR RELATIVES
OUT. I HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF
PATIENTS AND FAMILIES MAKING
THOSE DECISIONS. THERE HAVE
BEEN A FEW THAT HAVE MADE THOSE
DECISIONS AND WE SUPPORT THEM
IN THAT WE CAN TRANSPORT HOME.
JOAN GIVES THIS ADVICE. CALL
YOUR MOM. CALL YOUR DAD. TELL
ME YOU LOVE HIM. TELL HIM
YOU'RE HERE FOR HIM AND TRY TO.
IF YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN TO HIM
WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHY YOU
CAN'T BE THERE RIGHT NOW. I END
UP EITHER A. EVERY WAY YOU CAN.
HEATHER HOPE NEWS 8 WELL WITH
YOU THERE. JOEL, WE'RE THINKING
OF YOU TODAY. DOZENS OF LOCAL
FAMILIES WERE GIVEN A BOOST
THANKS TO A LOCAL NONPROFIT
HOMESTAR HELPED 50 LOW INCOME
FAMILIES FROM ENCARTA
ELEMENTARY TODAY DURING A DRIVE
THRU EVENT AT THE JACOB CENTER
FOR NEIGHBORHOOD INNOVATION.
EACH OF THEM GOT KITS TO HELP
THEM WEATHER THE HARD TIMES
INCLUDING GIFT CARDS, HYGIENE
KITS AND ACTIVITY PACKS FOR
THE KIDS. MORE DISMAL NEWS FOR
U.S. WORKERS SIDELINED BY
THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC.
THE WEEKLY JOBS REPORT SHOWS
MORE STAGGERING LOSSES. NANCY
CHEN HAS THE LATEST FROM NEW
YORK. HISTORIC LEVELS OF
UNEMPLOYMENT CONTINUE TO
SKYROCKET ACROSS THE U.S.
THE LATEST WEEKLY JOBS REPORT
SHOWS ANOTHER SIX POINT SIX
MILLION AMERICANS FILED FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS LAST WEEK
AND THAT FOLLOWS A RECORD SIX
POINT NINE MILLION WHO FILED
THE PREVIOUS WEEK BRINGING
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF JOBS LOST
THREE WEEKS TO SIXTEEN POINT
EIGHT MILLION. ECONOMISTS
BELIEVE THAT ALTHOUGH THESE
NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING AND MIND
BLOWING, WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE
THEM CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE
WEEKS AND THEN THEY SHOULD
START TO TAPER OFF. HAROLD
KAUFMAN GIBBONS IS AMONG
THE RANKS OF THE NEWLY
UNEMPLOYED. THE MANHATTAN BASED
TRAINER IS NOW PRODUCING ONLINE
WORKOUTS AFTER THE FITNESS
STUDIO WHERE HE WORKED SHUT ITS
DOORS. I THINK WE'VE REALLY
BOUGHT IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS
WAS FOOD LIKE WE'RE JUST LIKE
FEEDER FEEDING OURSELVES AND
THAT'S BASICALLY IT. HE AND HIS
FORMER COWORKERS HAVE APPLIED
FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OFTEN
FACING LONG WAIT TIMES TO
SUBMIT A CLAIM EITHER ONLINE OR
BY PHONE. THIS IS YOUR JOB NOW
.LIKE IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING
THROUGH, IF THE WEBSITE'S
CRASHING, IF THE PHONES JUST
LIKE RINGING AND RINGING
RINGING YOUR FULL TIME JOB IS
THEN APPLYING FOR BENEFITS.
KAUFMAN GIBBONS IS HOPEFUL
THE STUDIO WILL REOPEN AND
HE'LL BE REHIRED BUT
APPRECIATES STAYING HOME IS
MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW. AND
THERE'S LIKE THAT SATISFACTORY
ON LIKE HEY, WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN FINANCIALLY OR CAREER
WISE? BUT BUT MOSTLY I'M TAKING
THE PERSPECTIVE OF LIKE THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT ISN'T NECESSARY
FOR THE COLLECTIVE HEALTH OF
THE CITY. IN THE MEANTIME, HE'S
STAYING IN TOUCH WITH FORMER
COLLEAGUES TRADING TIPS FOR
NAVIGATING UNEMPLOYMENT WITH A
NEW WAY OF LIFE. NANCY CHINN,

POINT. WE WILL UPDATE

THE NEWSCAST. WELL, IT WAS A
COLD DAY OUTSIDE TODAY AND WE
SAW MORE RAIN ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTY. SO WHEN IS IT ALL
GOING TO FINALLY END? CHIEF
METEOROLOGIST CURRENTLY CHIVAS
HAS A FIRST LOOK AT YOUR
MICROCLIMATE FORECAST. KARLENE
.WELL, UNFORTUNATELY NO TIME
SOON BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT
THIS SYSTEM WAS GOING TO MOVE.
OUR MODELS WERE SUGGESTING THAT
AS WE HIT THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS NOW IT WILL. BUT IT'S NOT
UNTIL WE HIT THE WEEKEND AND
THEN WE COULD SEE A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS RIGHT BEHIND THAT.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK
SATELLITE RADAR. SO WE ARE
WAITING FOR THE BULK OF THAT
MOISTURE TO MOVE IN. IT IS
FORECAST TO MOVE IN LATER ON
TONIGHT ALL THE WAY THROUGH
TOMORROW MORNING. YOU'RE
ALREADY STARTING TO SEE HEAVIER
POCKETS OF RAINFALL PICKING UP
NEAR FALLBROOK. ALSO OCEANSIDE,
CAMP PENDLETON AREA, EVEN SOME
MOUNTAIN SNOW NOW MORE
EXPANSIVE VIEW SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IS GETTING A LOT OF
RAIN RIGHT NOW. THAT SYSTEM IS
STILL OVER US AND IT'S GOING TO
CONTINUE TO PUMP THAT MOISTURE
IN AS WE GO INTO TOMORROW'S
FORECAST. SO WE STILL HAVE TO
HOLD ON TO AT LEAST TONIGHT
THROUGH TOMORROW AND THEN GOING
INTO SATURDAY WE START TO
SWITCH THINGS UP. A FLOOD
WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED AND
THAT'S BECAUSE WE COULD GET TO
THE FLOOD STAGE OF ELEVEN POINT
THREE FEET AND THAT WOULD BE
FOR THE SAN DIEGO RIVER AT
FASHION VALLEY. WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR
COMPLETE FORECAST COMING UP.
BACK TO YOU. THANKS, KELLY.
WE'LL SEE YOU THEN. A SAN DIEGO

CONTINUES TO RISE. I'M BRANDON
