SOCIAL DISTANCING ORDERS PUT
OUT BY THE COUNTY. COUNTY
LEADERS ARE ALSO RECOMMENDING
THAT WE ALL NOW USE FACIAL
COVERINGS, MEDICAL MASKS BUT
CLOTH COVERINGS LIKE THIS
BANDANA HEAR WHEN GOING OUTSIDE
AND FOR SOME ESSENTIAL WORKERS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY THIS WILL
SOON BE MANDATORY. THE DAYS OF
TRYING TO GET VOLUNTARY
COMPLIANCE ARE REALLY OVER,
SAID THE SHERIFF, WARNING THAT
STARTING MIDNIGHT FRIDAY ANYONE
CAUGHT VIOLATING THE PUBLIC
HEALTH ORDERS ISSUED TO HELP
CURB THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
WILL BE PUNISHED. WE WILL START
ISSUING CITATIONS. THOSE
MISDEMEANORS CAN CARRY UP TO A
1000 DOLLAR FINE OR SIX MONTHS
IN JAIL. AND THE MORE
COMPLAINTS WE HAVE THE SHORTER
THE DURATION OF THESE PUBLIC
HEALTH ORDERS WILL BE. COUNTY
LEADERS ARE ALSO FOLLOWING
THE STATE'S LEAD NOW STRONGLY
ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO WEAR A
CLOTH FACIAL COVERINGS SUCH AS
A BANDANA. WHEN OUT IN PUBLIC
AND STARTING MIDNIGHT SATURDAY,
WORKERS AT GROCERY PHARMACIES,
GAS STATIONS AND CONVENIENCE

TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU ARE
ALREADY DOING. ALSO THURSDAY,
MAYOR FAULCONER ENCOURAGED
LOCAL BUSINESSES TO PIVOT THEIR
OPERATIONS TO PRODUCE
CRITICALLY NEEDED SUPPLIES IN
THE FIGHT AGAINST KOVAC, 19,
FROM HAND SANITIZER TO
VENTILATORS. WE HAVE
THE CAPABILITY RIGHT HERE IN
SAN DIEGO TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL
DIFFERENCE. WHILE GOVERNOR
NEWSOME UNVEILED A ONE YEAR
REPRIEVE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
WHEN IT COMES TO COLLECTING
SALES TAXES ESSENTIALLY
AMOUNTING TO A BRIDGE LOAN
WHERE NO FINES, NO PENALTIES
WILL BE ATTACHED WHERE THEY CAN
TAKE UP WORDS OF FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS AS A LOAN AND NOT HAVE
TO PAY THE STATE THOSE SALES
TAX RECEIPTS FOR 12 MONTHS.
ALSO THURSDAY, COUNTY LEADERS
ANNOUNCED THAT THE PARKING LOTS
OF ALL PARKS AND BEACHES IN ALL
JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTY WILL NOW BE CLOSED
AND THAT THESE FACILITIES CAN
ONLY BE USED FOR WALKING,
BICYCLING AND HIKING. BACK TO
YOU. THANKS, RICHARD. FOR MANY
RENT WAS DUE YESTERDAY AND
THOUSANDS OF SAN DIEGO ADS
WEREN'T ABLE TO PAY. THEY WERE
AMONG THE RECORD NUMBER OF
AMERICANS WHO FILED FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT. WHILE MANY ARE
WAITING ON CHECKS, OTHERS ARE
CONFUSED ON HOW TO FILE NEWSDAY
TABBY ALFORD JOINED AN ONLINE
TOWNHALL TO HELP GET SOME
ANSWERS WHERE YOU'RE IN
THE CONVOY VILLAGE SHOPPING
CENTER IN KEARNY MESA AND ON
THURSDAY NIGHT YOU WOULD SEE IT
BUSTLING WITH PEOPLE. WE HAVE
ASIAN RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS. SO
ON ONE HAND IT IS A GOOD SIGN
TO SHOW THAT PEOPLE ARE SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND HEEDING TO
THE COVER 19 ORDERS. BUT ON
THE OTHER HAND IT'S DEVASTATING
BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT PEOPLE
ARE WITHOUT WORK. THIS IS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TODD GLORIA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US THIS EVENING. AND IT'S
SCHEDULED FACEBOOK LIKE Q AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TODD GLORIA, A
NONPROFIT LEGAL AID AT WORK
ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT TECHNICAL
PROBLEMS DELAYED THE TOWN HALL.
BUT WE DID SPEAK WITH GLORIA
RIGHT BEFORE TO TALK ABOUT
THE ONE POINT NINE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS AND THOUSANDS IN
SAN DIEGO WHO HAVE FILED FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT VERY DYNAMIC.
THE GOVERNOR SAYS ON A GOOD DAY
UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS COULD TAKE
UP TO THREE WEEKS BUT INSTEAD
OF THE AVERAGE TWO THOUSAND
CLAIMS PER DAY THERE ARE ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND. SO
THERE ARE TWO HUNDRED
GOVERNMENT WORKERS BEING
REPURPOSED TO HELP WITH
THE CLAIMS AND EIGHT HUNDRED
OTHERS ARE ON THE WAY.
HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP
ACTUALLY MOVE THIS HUGE NUMBER
OF APPLICATIONS THROUGH
THE SYSTEM AS SWIFTLY AS
POSSIBLE SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T
WAITING A DAY LONGER AND THEY
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. PEOPLE
POSTED QUESTIONS ABOUT
EXHAUSTING PRIOR BENEFITS ARE
NOT BEING ELIGIBLE UNTIL MET.
NOW INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS ARE
ELIGIBLE BUT THE STATE IS
WAITING FOR THE U.S. LABOR
DEPARTMENT ON ITS DIRECTION. GO
AHEAD AND APPLY NOW GET IN
THE QUEUE. JUST REMEMBER WHEN
YOU GO TO THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYEE
DEVELOPMENT TO FILE A CLAIM YOU
NEED TO HAVE SPECIFICS ABOUT
YOUR PREVIOUS EMPLOYER. WHAT
YOU EARNED IN THE LAST WEEK YOU
WORKED AND THE INFORMATION
ABOUT YOUR PREVIOUS EMPLOYERS
IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. YOU CAN
RECEIVE 40 DOLLARS TO 450
DOLLARS A WEEK ON TOP OF
THE WEEKLY SIX HUNDRED IN
FEDERAL STIMULUS YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT 1050 A WEEK WHICH IS
PRETTY EXPENSIVE. BUT THIS IS
STILL REAL MONEY. WE UNDERSTAND
THAT UNEMPLOYMENT AND FILING
FOR IT CAN BE COMPLICATED AND
OVERWHELM. WE HAVE ALL OF
THE RESOURCES AND INFORMATION
FOR YOU LISTED ON OUR WEBSITE
AT CBC DOT COM. CLICK ON
THE HOT BUTTON AND KEARNY MESA.
I'M ABBIE ALFORD FOR NEWS 8. A
BIG CHANGE FOR THE USS THEODORE
ROOSEVELT AMID A CORONA VIRUS
OUTBREAK ONBOARD. THE NAVY
ANNOUNCED IT IS RELIEVING BRET
CROZIER OF HIS COMMAND AFTER HE
WROTE A PLEA TO THE NAVY FOR
RESOURCES TO COMBAT
THE OUTBREAK. THE NAVY SAYS IT
WAS CONTINUALLY IN CONTACT WITH
CROZIER BUT THAT HE NEVER
EXPRESSED THE DIRE NEED. ONE
SAILOR'S MOTHER, A NAVY VETERAN
HERSELF IS PRAISING THE FORMER
CAPTAIN FOR HIS ACTIONS. I'M
SO, SO GRATEFUL FOR THE CAPTAIN
OF THE SHIP. HE IS SO HEROIC TO
ME RIGHT NOW. HE IS THE ONLY
THING THAT MADE THIS MOUNTAIN
MOVE RIGHT NOW. THREE THOUSAND
SAILORS ARE OFF THE SHIP
AWAITING CORONA VIRUS TEST
RESULTS TO COME BACK. SO FAR
114 HAVE TESTED POSITIVE AND
THE NAVY EXPECTS HUNDREDS MORE
WILL FOLLOW SAN DIEGO AS ARE
WONDERING WHAT A NEW CRUISE
SHIP WAS DOING DOCKED AFTER
THE COUNTY BANNED COMPANIES
FROM LETTING OFF PASSENGERS
HERE. THE CELEBRITY MILLENNIUM
WAS DOCKED IN SAN DIEGO BUT
ONLY FOR SUPPLIES. IT HAD NO
PASSENGERS ONBOARD. A CREW
MEMBER FROM THE SHIP WAS TAKEN
OFF WITH CARDIAC ARREST
YESTERDAY BUT DOES NOT HAVE
CORONA VIRUS. A CREW MEMBER
FROM THAT ECLIPSE THAT WAS
HOSPITALIZED IN SAN DIEGO WITH
CORONA VIRUS IS NOW BACK ON
THAT SHIP. MEANTIME, TWO CRUISE
SHIPS STRUGGLING WITH
THE CORONA VIRUS HAVE BEEN
ALLOWED TO DOCK IN SOUTH
FLORIDA. THIS AS ROUGHLY 90
PERCENT OF THE US IS UNDER STAY
AT HOME WATERS. THERE ARE NOW
MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
THOUSAND CONFIRMED CORONA VIRUS
CASES ACROSS THE NATION NATION
.NAOMI RUCKER HAS THE LATEST.
THE ZAM DAM AND ROTTER DAM
DOCKED IN SOUTH FLORIDA AFTER
BEING HELD OFFSHORE FOR DAYS
WHILE SOME PASSENGERS WERE
RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. OTHERS
WHO TEST POSITIVE OR SHOW
CORONA VIRUS SYMPTOMS WILL BE
KEPT ON BOARD FOR FURTHER
EVALUATION. PASSENGER VAL MINTY
SAYS SHE COULDN'T WAIT FOR IT
TO BE OVER. WE ARE ON PINS AND
NEEDLES AND WE'RE SO EXCITED
ABOUT IT. WORLDWIDE MORE THAN 1
MILLION CORONA VIRUS CASES HAVE
NOW BEEN REPORTED IN HARD HIT
NEW YORK. HEALTH CARE WORKERS
ARE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT
THE SHORTAGE OF PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE GEAR SUCH AS GOWNS
AND MASKS. EVERYDAY WHEN I GO
TO WORK I FEEL LIKE A SHEEP
GOING TO SLAUGHTER. MY
COLLEAGUES AND I ARE WRITING
OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT.
I'M TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OLD. NEW
YORK MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO URGED
EVERYONE TO SHIELD THEIR FACES
WHEN LEAVING HOME USING A
BANDANA OR SCAR FOR OTHER
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NOT TO
USE MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL MASKS.
YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH STUFF
THAT'S ALREADY IN YOUR HOUSE.
YOU DON'T NEED SOMETHING THAT A
FIRST RESPONDER OR A HEALTH
CARE WORKER NEEDS. GOV. ANDREW
CUOMO SAID THE STATE COULD RUN
OUT VENTILATORS WITHIN SIX
DAYS. I DON'T THINK THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS IN A POSITION TO
PROVIDE VENTILATORS TO
THE EXTENT THE NATION MAY NEED
THEM. THE JACOB JAVITS
CONVENTION CENTER IN MANHATTAN
WILL NOW BE USED FOR CORONA
VIRUS PATIENTS ONLY PRESIDENT
TRUMP APPROVED THEM.
THE PRESIDENT ALSO ANNOUNCED
NEW FEDERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
NURSING HOMES INCLUDING KEEPING
HEALTHY AND SICK RESIDENTS IN
SEPARATE AREAS. NAOMI RACKHAM
NEW YORK SAN DIEGO BASED RASMUS
IS ONE OF SIX COMPANIES THAT
WILL BE RECEIVING MATERIALS TO
PRODUCE MORE VENTILATORS UNDER
AN ORDER ISSUED BY PRESIDENT
TRUMP. THE PRESIDENT SAID
THE ORDER WOULD HELP
THE MANUFACTURERS SECURE
THE NEEDED SUPPLIES TO HELP
SAVE AMERICAN LIVES. LAST WEEK
RESMED TOLD US IT WAS LOOKING
TO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE OUTPUT
VENTILATORS AND SCALE UP
VENTILATOR MASK PRODUCTION MORE
THAN TENFOLD. THE NATION IS
FACING A VENTILATOR SHORTAGE
WITH THE ONCOMING SURGE OF KOBE
19 PATIENTS TONIGHT THE COUNTY
IS HONORING MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS ACROSS SAN DIEGO
FOR THEIR WORK KEEPING SAN
DIEGO SAFE. THE COUNTY
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
DOWNTOWN LIT UP WITH RED, WHITE
AND BLUE TONIGHT IN HONOR OF
THE MEN AND WOMEN GOING TO WORK
IN OUR LOCAL HOSPITALS EVERY
DAY DURING THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC. AND NEWS 8 ALSO WANTS
TO SEND A BIG THANK YOU FROM US
TO YOU OUR LOCAL MEDICAL HEROES
FOR ALL YOU'RE DOING FOR US
RIGHT NOW. LOCAL HOSPITAL STAFF
WERE TREATED TO HOT MEALS
TONIGHT THANKS TO A LOCAL ONE
WOMAN ELIZABETH BERRY SAYS
INSTEAD OF SITTING INSIDE
TONIGHT SHE PICKED UP BURRITOS
FROM LOCAL RESTAURANTS TO
DELIVER TO SAN DIEGO HOSPITAL
WORKERS A COUPLE PEOPLE INTO
TEARS AND THEY WERE PRETTY
EXCITED. I THINK SOME OF THESE
FOLKS HAVEN'T GONE HOME IN A
COUPLE OF DAYS. IT'S A SIMPLE
BURRITO THAT SHOWS SOME
KINDNESS.
