KIDS
KIDS EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT. THE CDC IS COMING OUT SAYING HEY, SCHOOLS NEED TO REOPEN MY KID.
NOW WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT THOMAS
EDISON. THE OTHER DAY I SAID TO
ME, DAD , WERE YOU DO YOU
REMEMBER WHEN HE INVENTED THE
LIGHT BULB? WERE YOU AROUND FOR
THAT? I BET THAT WAS REAL
EXCITING. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
WERE A KID AND THAT IS IT AND
YOU ARE HANGING OUT. YEAH. THAT
OLD SON REALLY COME HISTORY
PART OF HISTORY. I MEAN HE'S A
KIDS. BUT THE TEACHERS DEAL
WITH THAT A LOT. BUT I SERVE
FOR A LOT OF PARENTS WHO HAD A
CHANCE TO LEARN WHAT THEIR KIDS
ARE LEARNING. WHICH IS KIND OF
TAKING YOU BACK, THAT'S FOR
SURE. I DON'T REMEMBER
EVERYTHING I LEARNED IN THIRD
AND FOURTH GRADE. RIGHT. RIGHT.
RIGHT. THEY ALSO STEPPING
OUTSIDE THIS MORNING HERE.
STILL CHILLY OUT THERE, EVAN.
OH, YES. COLD START TO THE DAY
SOME RIGHT UP TO THE NORTH OF
US. YOU CAN SEE FOR US HERE IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY STAYING DRY AS
WE START OFF NOW OUR WEDNESDAY
MORNING QUITE A CONTRAST
COMPARED TO WHAT WE SAW FOR OUR
MONDAY AND OUR TUESDAY. IF YOU
LOOK AT THE WIDER PICTURE HERE,
WE'VE GOT AN OCCLUDED FRONT
THAT'S GOING TO START TO BRING
SOME SHOWERS IN OUR DIRECTION
LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY
FRIDAY. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S
PLENTY OF RAIN AND SNOW UP TO
THE NORTH OF US, ESPECIALLY
AROUND WASHINGTON, OREGON,
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, FOR
EXAMPLE. BUT FOR US ALL THE WAY
DOWN SOUTH WE ARE DRY FOR THE
MOST PART TODAY AND TOMORROW.
STICKING WITH THOSE PARTLY
CLOUDY CONDITIONS AHEAD OF THAT
NEXT STORM THAT COMES INTO
EARLY FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES TO
START OFF TODAY MID 40S FOR THE
MOST PART AND SOME 30S AS YOU
LOOK OFF TOWARD THE MOUNTAINS.
I'LL SEND THINGS OVER TO JENNY
FOR A CHECK. TRAFFIC. WELL,
GOOD MORNING TO YOU. HUGE
DIFFERENCE FROM THE PAST COUPLE
OF DAYS. BRIGHT ROAD WEATHER
INDEX SHOWING EVERYTHING IS DRY
OUT THERE. SO WE'RE NOT DEALING
WITH AN OVERABUNDANCE OF
CRASHES. HOWEVER, WE HAVE A
TRAFFIC LIGHT ISSUE ON THE
NORTHBOUND SIDE OF THE FIVE. SO
MANCHESTER RIGHT IN BETWEEN
LIKE SALINA BEACHES YOU'RE
MOVING TOWARDS AND TONIGHT AS
THEY ARE IN THE BLACK OVER ON
THE 78 HEADING EAST BOND NEAR
SAN MARCOS. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT
FAST LANE IS BLOCKED. WE'VE GOT
SOME SORT OF AN OBSTRUCTION BUT
CURRENTLY NO CRASHES AND ALL
YOUR TRAVEL TIMES LOOK LIKE
THIS. NOW THANK YOU, JENNY.
WELL, TODAY MARKS A CALL OF
ACTION FOR NURSES ALL AROUND
THE COUNTRY INCLUDING RIGHT
HERE IN SAN DIEGO. A GROUP OF
LOCAL NURSES IS RENEWING THEIR
CALL FOR SAFE PATIENT CARE,
ESPECIALLY IN THE PANDEMIC
NEWS . IT'S CHRIS GROSS LIVE AT
UC SAN DIEGO MEDICAL CENTER IN
HILLCREST TO EXPLAIN THESE
NURSES SAY THEY ARE OVERWORKED
AND TIRED. OVERWORKED, TIRED
AND I'M SURE SEEING A LOT OF
THINGS THEY NEVER IMAGINED THAT
THEY WOULD SEE INSIDE OF THE
ICU. AND LOOK, THIS IS NOT THE
FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE HEARD
NURSES SPEAKING UP AND SPEAKING
OUT DURING THIS PANDEMIC. IF
YOU REMEMBER BACK IN MARCH THEY
WERE ASKING FOR MORE PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, SOMETHING
THAT WASN'T READILY AVAILABLE
NATIONWIDE. REMEMBER WE HAD
THAT LOW STOCKPILE FOR A LONG
TIME THERE AND WE HAD A LOT OF
IMPROVISATION FOR PPE BEING
MADE. AND SO THEY HAD TO ASK
AND TRY TO FORCE AND DEMAND
MORE PPE. SO TODAY THEY'RE
ESSENTIALLY ASKING AND
DEMANDING FOR THERE TO BE MORE
STAFF TO STAFF FOR SAFE PATIENT
CARE AND TO STOP ELECTIVE
SURGERY SO THAT THEY'RE NOT
OVERWORKED. SO EFFECTIVELY THEY
ARE TRYING TO GET MORE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS OR TO LOWER THE
AMOUNT OF UNNECESSARY
SURGERIES, UNNECESSARY
PATIENTS. SO THE NURSES
ACTUALLY DETAILED THEIR
STRUGGLES IN THE ICU DURING
COVE 19 WHILE ANNOUNCING THIS
CALL. ONE OF THE NURSES
DESCRIBED BEING OVERWHELMED,
UNABLE TO TAKE ON EVEN MORE
SICK PATIENTS AND ALSO JUST THE
FACT THAT THEY'RE JUST TIRED
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SIMPLY
OVERWORKED AT THIS POINT.
THEY'RE ALSO CRITICIZING
MANAGEMENT FOR LAYING OFF
SUPPORT STAFF THAT ARE VITAL TO
THESE NURSES AND DOCTORS
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS
PANDEMIC. NOW WE DID REACH OUT
TO UC SAN DIEGO FOR COMMENT
ABOUT THESE DEMANDS AND THESE
ACCUSATIONS. BUT RIGHT NOW WE
JUST HAVEN'T HEARD BACK AT THIS
TIME. WE ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM
THESE NURSES IN LESS THAN A
HALF HOUR NOW AND WE'LL HAVE
THAT FOR YOU LIVE. I WILL.
WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT HERE ON
THE CBS BUT THEN ALSO ON OUR
SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS AS WELL.
ERICA NETA, WE'LL SEE YOU BACK
HERE IN LESS THAN 30. THANK
YOU, CHRIS. NOW TO THE LATEST
CORONAVIRUS NUMBERS IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE
REPORTING ONE THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR NEW COVERED
CASES OUT OF MORE THAN 15000
TESTS. THIS IS A 9 PERCENT
POSITIVE RATE. FORTY SIX NEW
DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. SO
OUR DEATH TOLL NOW TWO THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY ONE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE DIED. THE NUMBER OF
COVERED RELATED HOSPITALIZATION
HAS DECREASED AGAIN. SO NOW
WE'RE AT 14, 80 AND 400 17
COVERED PATIENTS ARE CURRENTLY
IN THE ICU. AND THIS MORNING WE
HAVE A BETTER IDEA ABOUT THE
CHANGES TO OUR STATE'S VACCINE
ROLLOUT PLAN. THE VACCINES WILL
NOW BE GIVEN BY AGE AND STATE
OFFICIALS WILL MOVE THROUGH
THIS TIERED SYSTEM BASED ON
THAT. SO NEWS 8 STORIES THIS
HOUR DANA. WELL, JOINING US
LIVE FROM THE VACCINATION SUPER
STATION THAT'S THE ONE AT PETCO
PARK. THAT'S BEEN CLOSED A
COUPLE DAYS BUT THEY ARE
EXPECTED TO REOPEN TODAY,
RIGHT. TERESA? YES. GOOD
MORNING. AND ERIC, THEY WILL BE
OPEN AT 7:00 THIS MORNING. JUST
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LINE RIGHT
NOW. WE'RE AT 13TH AND K PEOPLE
ARE GETTING BACK INTO ACTION
AFTER THE SUPER STATION HAS
BEEN CLOSED FOR TWO DAYS WITH
ALL THAT RAIN AND WIND THAT
WE'VE HAD, CREWS HAD TO REPAIR
AND FIX THINGS UP BECAUSE
THINGS GOT FLIPPED AROUND. BUT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
CALIFORNIA NEW VACCINE PLAN, AN
AGE BASED APPROACH PRIORITIZING
THOSE MOST AT RISK OF COPE WITH
THE WORST SYMPTOMS. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SENIORS AND
WORKERS IN A HEALTH CARE CHILD
CARE, FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. AND
AFTER THAT THEY'LL WORK BACK BY
AGE SENSE. OLDER ADULTS ARE
MOST AT RISK BUT IT COULD ALSO
PUSH BACK YOUNGER ADULTS WITH
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS. ALL
COUNTIES WILL ALSO MOVE
TOGETHER THROUGH THE TEARS. SO
IF A RULE COUNTY FINISHES
FASTER THE STATE WILL TAKE
THEIR DOSES AND MOVE THEM TO
OTHERS THAT ARE FALLING BEHIND
UNTIL EVERYONE CATCHES UP. WE
CERTAINLY ARE LISTENING TO A
LOT OF FEEDBACK MAKING WHAT I
WOULD SAY ARE DIFFICULT
DECISIONS BUT TRYING TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY'RE CLEAR AND
SIMPLE TO FOLLOW. SO WE'RE
MOVING INTO THE THIRD WEEK HERE
AT THE VACCINATION SUPER
STATION WHICH WAS HOSTED BY
UCSD HEALTH THE CITY, THE
COUNTY AND THE SAN DIEGO PADRES
AND IT WAS CLOSED FOR TWO DAYS
MONDAY AND TUESDAY BECAUSE THE
HIGH WIND AND A RAIN BUT IT'S
OPENING BACK UP HERE AT 7:00.
AND FOR THOSE WHO HAD
APPOINTMENTS ON MONDAY, THOSE
APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MOVED TO
TOMORROW AND THOSE WHO HAD
APPOINTMENTS ON TUESDAY THAT
WILL BE MOVED TO SATURDAY. SO
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GET A
VACCINE, IT IS BY APPOINTMENT
ONLY AND WE'LL HAVE THAT
INFORMATION AT SAN DIEGO COUNTY
DOT GOV AND ALSO BE LINKED TO
CBS 8 DOT COM. I'LL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU. THE
WHITE HOUSE IS AIMING TO RAMP
UP THE NATION'S KOBE 19
VACCINATION. PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAID THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WILL SOON BE SHIPPING 10
MILLION DOSES A WEEK TO STATES
AS A 16 PERCENT INCREASE OVER
THE CURRENT LEVEL. THE
PRESIDENT ALSO ANNOUNCED A PLAN
TO BUY ANOTHER 200 MILLION
DOSES FROM MADONNA AND PFIZER.
THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL HAS
VOTED TO EXTEND THE EVICTION
MORATORIUM FOR RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL RENTERS. SO NOW IT
WILL BE EXTENDED TO 60 DAYS
AFTER THE CITY'S EMERGENCY
DECLARATION. AND SO YOU HAVE A
LITTLE MORE TIME HERE. COUNCIL
MEMBERS ALSO APPROVED THE
DISTRIBUTION OF 42 MILLION
DOLLARS IN FEDERAL MONEY TO
HELP RENTERS COVER BACK RENT
AND UTILITIES. THE COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS ALSO UNANIMOUSLY
APPROVED EXPANDING RELIEF FUNDS
TO MORE RENTERS. SOME LOCAL
DISTRICTS ARE FEELING THE
IMPACT OF THE RECENT WEATHER.
YES. TODAY EVEN STUDENTS WILL
BE IN DISTANCE LEARNING. THIS
IS IN THE SPENCER VALLEY SCHOOL
DISTRICT AS WELL AS WARNER
UNIFIED. THEY STILL HAVE ICY
CONDITIONS UP THERE WITH PLENTY
OF SNOWFALL. HOWEVER, IN-PERSON
LEARNING WILL RESUME FOR KIDS
IN MOUNTAIN EMPIRE UNIFIED.
THEY MUST GO BACK. NO SNOW DAY
TODAY. IT DOES SEEM PRETTY
CLEAR NOW WHAT THE DEFINITION
OF SNOW DAY HAS REALLY CHANGED.
I WISH THEY COULD LIKE SNOW
DAYS ARE JUST FUN. I FEEL LIKE
THEY GOT TO ENJOY IT ONCE IN A
WHILE. THEY HAILE DAYS FOR WHEN
WE. FOR DAYS LIKE YESTERDAY
WHEN WE HAD JUST THAT DOWNPOUR
OF HAIL AND GRAPPLE AT TIMES.
TODAY THOUGH A DRY START TO THE
MORNING. WE ARE HALFWAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND WITH IT WAKING UP
TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS AS
WE'RE IN THAT KIND OF TWILIGHT
PERIOD RIGHT NOW. HERE'S THE
VIEW OUT OF MT. WOODSON BOY. IT
IS BEAUTIFUL. WE'VE GOT SOME
PINK TONES OUT THERE AS THE SUN
MAKES ITS WAY UP. WE'RE STILL
ABOUT 30 MINUTES AHEAD OF THE
SUNRISE TECHNICALLY, BUT WE'RE
ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF
THAT SHINE THROUGH. NOW TAKE A
LOOK AT YOUR ALMANAC FOR THE
DAY AFTERNOON HIGH 61 DEGREES.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.
THAT IS OF COURSE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN THE AVERAGE OF
SIXTY FIVE. WE'RE STILL BELOW
THE AVERAGE FOR OUR RAIN SO FAR
THIS MONTH JUST OVER THREE
QUARTERS OF AN INCH. WHAT WE'VE
GOT GOING FORWARD THURSDAY
FRIDAY THOUGH THAT WILL LIKELY
BRING US BACK TO AVERAGE IF NOT
ABOVE AVERAGE FOR RAIN TOTALS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT STORM HEADED IN OUR
DIRECTION. HERE'S THE
TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT TO
ABOUT SIX HOURS OR SO WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BUILD ON THE TREND THAT WE'VE
GOT GOING FOR US. IT'S CHILLY
RIGHT NOW BUT WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE OUR WAY TO THE UPPER 50S
AND LOW 60S BY THE AFTERNOON.
THAT NEXT SIGNIFICANT STORM.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE ESTIMATES
THAT WE'VE GOT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WE STAY DRY
THURSDAY SAME SITUATION. HERE'S
EARLY FRIDAY, 6:00 IN THE
MORNING. WE'RE NEARING ABOUT AN
INCH IN SAN DIEGO UP TOWARD
OCEANSIDE IN CARLSBAD JUST OVER
THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. SAME
SITUATION REALLY AS YOU MOVE
TOWARD THE MOUNTAINTOPS POWER
FOR EXAMPLE, LOOKING AT NEARLY
THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF
RAIN BY THE TIME WE GET TO 6:00
A.M.. SO AGAIN, THESE ARE JUST
NUMBERS AS WE START WAKING UP
ON FRIDAY. THAT RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. WE'LL TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT IT IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. JENNY HAS A CHECK OF
WHAT TRAFFIC LOOKS LIKE THIS
MORNING. HI, JENNY. WAIT, HOLD
UP. YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT
GETTING A SNOW DAY. DON'T KIDS
HERE GET LIKE A WEEK OFF FOR
SKI WEEK? OK, LOCK IT UP A BIT.
YEAH. SO AGAIN, A LOT OF SNOW
DAYS OFF ALREADY. NO JOKE. TEN
MINUTES AFTER 6:00. YOU KNOW,
UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE DEALING
WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF CRASHES
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED BECAUSE
LOOK AT THE ROAD WEATHER INDEX
.IT IS DRY OUT THERE. SO
HERE'S A NEW CRASH ON THE FIVE
NORTHBOUND SIDE. THIS IS RIGHT
NEAR THE EXIT TO THE 54 STORY
COMING OUT OF CHULA VISTA KIND
RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT IT. THAT
SHOULDER'S BLOCKED. I'M NOT
SEEING ANY DELAYS. SO AS YOU
TRUCK YOUR WAY TOWARDS NATIONAL
CITY, YOU'RE IN FAIR SHAPE.
HERE'S THE ATO FIVE RIGHT OVER
HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A
LADDER IN THE ROAD. SO THIS IS
BLOCKING THE SLOW LANE IF
YOU'RE HEADING NORTH BOND RIGHT
AT THE EXIT TO THE EIGHT. I
DON'T SEE ANY MASSIVE BACKUPS.
IT'S EARLY THOUGH, RIGHT?
HERE'S THE 15 HEADING
SOUTHBOUND AT THE EXIT TO
MIRAMAR WAY THAT RIGHT HAND
SHOULDERS BLOCK. BUT AGAIN,
YOU'RE MOVING PRETTY NICELY
OVER ON THE FIVE NORTHBOUND
SIDE. NO CRASHES HERE BUT THERE
IS AN ISSUE WITH THOSE TRAFFIC
LIGHTS. THEY ARE IN THE BLACK
WHICH WE DEALT WITH A LOT
YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF THE
WEATHER. AND THEN FINALLY OVER
THE SAN MARCOS AREA I KNOW YOU
SEE THIS LITTLE BIT OF ORANGE
HERE. WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT
SET BACK. THAT'S BECAUSE
HEADING EAST SPAWN RIGHT NEAR
THE EXIT TO SAN
