HOYA ALL THE WAY UP HERE TO
SCRIPPS MEMORIAL IN NITA'S
WHICH ITS HOSPITAL CEO SAYS AT
A RECORD LEVEL WITH ITS
CAPACITY WITH LIMITED BEDS
AVAILABLE OR ENCINITAS ICU IS
AT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT CAPACITY MEANING WE'VE
ALREADY HAD THE SURGE AT THAT
CAMPUS SEEING A SURGE IN KOVIK
19 CASES.
>> SCRIPPS HEALTH CEO CHRIS VAN

LIKE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
IT'S GOING STRAIGHT UP SHARP
HOSPITALS HAVE THE MOST WITH
300 KOVIK PATIENTS PALOMAR WITH

PERCENT FULL ALREADY WITH THE
COMBINATION COVERED PATIENTS

PERCENT.
WE COULD HIT THAT 15 PERCENT
TARGET YOU KNOW AS EARLY AS
THIS WEEKEND.
>> UCSD DR. JEFF MANDELE SAYS
ALL THE HOSPITALS IN THE REGION
ARE REALLY SCRAMBLING TO MAKE
SURE THEY CAN MEET THE NEEDS OF
THE COMMUNITY IN THE WEEKS
AHEAD.
>> THE NUMBER MIRRORS THAT
WE'RE SEEING NOW ARE HIGHER
THAN ANYTHING THAT WE'VE SEEN
IN SAN DIEGO UP UNTIL THIS
POINT AND THE NUMBERS ARE STILL
GOING UP.
>> DR. MANDELE SAYS IT'S A
HIGHLY CHOREOGRAPHED MANEUVER
TO GET ICU BEDS READY AND
SPREAD OUT FOR SAFETY.
>> IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS
PUTTING A BED AND A VENTILATOR
AND THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
OF STAFFING IS ADEQUATE.
THE TRAINING IS ADEQUATE.
>> UCSD HEALTH STARTED TESTING
ALL EMPLOYEES FOR KOVEN 19
WEEKLY.
THE SCRIPT CEO SAYS HOSPITALS
ARE STRAINED OVER STAFFING.
OUR OWN EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING
SICK BECAUSE OF COMMUNITY
SPREAD TWO WEEKS AGO.
I HAD FORTY FOUR OF MY
EMPLOYEES TEST POSITIVE FOR KOV
IT LAST WEEK ABOUT 22 TESTED
POSITIVE AND SO THEY'RE THEY'RE
GONNA BE OUT OF WORK FOR A
WHILE WITH MUTUAL AID SYSTEMS
IN PLACE FOR DECADES.
THEN GORDER APPLAUDS THE
GOVERNOR'S REGIONAL ORDER.
HE JUST WISHES IT COULD HAVE
BEEN IN PLACE SOONER.
I PERSONALLY WISH THEY'D GONE
FOR THANKSGIVING BECAUSE THE
SURGE WE'RE SEEING NOW IS THE
RESULT OF THANKSGIVING TRAVEL
AND AND THANKSGIVING EVENTS AND
WE'RE GOING TO START SEEING AN
EVEN LARGER NUMBER OF PATIENTS
GET ADMITTED TO OUR HOSPITALS
OVER THE NEXT TWO TO THREE
WEEKS RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
>> HEATHER HOPE NEWS EIGHT AND
A NEW SINGLE DAY RECORD FOR NEW
COVER 19 CASES IN SAN DIEGO,
TWO THOUSAND THIRTY NINE NEW
CASES BEING REPORTED BY THE
COUNTY.
WE'VE NEVER HAD MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND CASES IN A DAY BEFORE
THIS ABOUT TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
TESTS WERE REPORTED WITH AN
EIGHT PERCENT POSITIVE RATE.
THERE WERE SEVEN MORE DEATHS
FOR COUNTYWIDE TOTAL OF 1047 14
NEW COMMUNITY OUTBREAKS WERE
REPORTED AS WELL.
THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL TO NINETY
THREE ACTIVE OUTBREAKS IN SAN
DIEGO RIGHT NOW.
REMEMBER OUR GOAL IS TO BE
UNDER SEVEN HOUR REGIONAL
AVAILABLE ICU CAPACITY IS JUST
ABOVE 20 PERCENT MORE THAN
EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND SAN DIEGO
INS HAVE TESTED POSITIVE SO FAR
.
>> THE PAST NINE MONTHS HAVE
BEEN A ROLLER COASTER FOR
EVERYONE INCLUDING LOCAL
BUSINESSES.
THERE HAVE BEEN CLOSURES,
REOPENINGS AND PLENTY OF
RESTRICTIONS AND WE ARE HEADING
TOWARD ANOTHER SHUTDOWN.
THAT MEANS MORE ADAPTING BUT
SOME OWNERS ARE WORRIED IT
MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.
NEWSAT JAN AND HANDEY HAS MORE
ON HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THE
LATEST CHANGES.
HERE AT 17, CIDER EMPLOYEES ARE
GEARING UP BY BOTTLING THEIR
PRODUCTS FOR TO GO ORDERS.
MEANWHILE ELSEWHERE BUSINESS
OWNERS SAY THEY DON'T KNOW IF
THEY'LL SURVIVE ANOTHER
SHUTDOWN.
THAT'S 17 CIDER IN THE MIRAMAR
AREA.
>> EMPLOYEES ARE WASTING NO
TIME PREPARING FOR YET ANOTHER
SHUTDOWN.
>> WHEN WE SHUT DOWN THE FIRST
TIME WE SHIFTED EVERYTHING TO
TO GO SALES.
CO-OWNER SEAN HARRIS AND HIS
TEAM SPENT FRIDAY BOTTLING
CIDER KNOWING ALL LINING TO GO
ORDERS WILL BE THEIR ONLY
OPTION ONCE HE STAYED HOME,
ORDER TAKES EFFECT.
>> SO WE'RE REALLY HOPING TO
GET ALL OF OUR CRAWLERS, OUR
CANS OR BOTTLES OUT THE DOOR
AND READY FOR JUST PICK UP
ORDER ONLINE AND COME IN AND
GRAB IT.
>> HE REGIONAL STAY HOME ORDER
OFFICIALLY STARTS 48 HOURS
AFTER THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
REGION FALLS BELOW 50 PERCENT
ICY CAPACITY ACCORDING TO THE
STATE'S WEB SITE.
WE'RE AT TWENTY POINT SIX
PERCENT RIGHT NOW.
THE ORDER REQUIRES BARS AND
WINERIES CLOSED.
RESTAURANTS MUST SHIFT TO TAKE
OUT ON DELIVERY ONLY PERSONAL
SERVICES LIKE HAIR AND NAIL
SALONS WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOWN
AS WELL.
WHILE SHAWN SUPPORTS THE
MEASURES, HE'S FRUSTRATED BY
THE LACK OF FINANCIAL HELP.
THOUSANDS BUSINESSES HAVE
ALREADY GONE OUT OF BUSINESS
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE
DOING WHAT WE SHOULD DO.
AND WE'RE NOT GETTING HELP TO
DO IT.
BREWSKIS MEALS AND ESQ CANDIDO
OWNER JENNIFER GAFOOR AND FEELS
THE SAME AND ALL THE GUARDS
HERE AND EVERYBODY KNOW HAVING
ANY UNEMPLOYMENT ANYMORE WE USE
THEM ALL JUST LIKE RIDICULOUS
TO ME.
>> WHILE SALONS LIKE HERS HAVE
REPORTED A FLOOD OF CUSTOMERS
TRYING TO GET IN BEFORE THE
SHUTDOWN TAKES EFFECT, JENNIFER
SAYS THAT WILL MAKE UP FOR THE
UPCOMING LOSSES THEORY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THEIR
BUSIEST TIMES OF THE YEAR.
IT'S HARD TO NOT HAVING A JOB
AND SHUTTING DOWN CHRISTMAS.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE MAKE
MONEY.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER WHICH
DETAILS ALL THE CLOSURES, WE
HAVE IT UP ON OUR WEB SITE.
JUST GO TO CBSA DOT COM.
CLICK ON THE HELP BUTTON THOSE
TWO STORIES HARD TIMES AHEAD
FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS.
>> HARD TIMES AHEAD FOR ALL
THESE YEARS.
THE CENTERS IT'S A TERRIBLE
SITUATION OF PEOPLE IMPACTED.
IT'S SO DIFFICULT TO FIND THAT
BALANCE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE STRUGGLING
RECOVERY EFFORTS FROM THE
WILLOW FIRE IN RANCHO SAN DIEGO
CONTINUE.
THIS FIRE DESTROYED ONE HOME.
>> WE WERE JUST ALL DEVASTATED
WHEN WE WATCHED IT BURN LIVE ON
THE AIR.
THE HOME WAS A COMPLETE LOSS
AND NOW THE COMMUNITY IS COMING
FORWARD TO HELP THE FAMILY.
THIS WEEK THE FIRE BROKE OUT IN
RANCHO SAN DIEGO.
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT LEAVING THE
HOWARD FAMILY HOME IN RUINS AND
SIX OTHERS DAMAGED.
THE PICTURES EVERYTHING MY
DAD DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO
GRAB SHOES.
HE HAD THE PAJAMAS ON HIS BACK
AND HIS KEYS AND HIS PHONE IN
HIS CAR.
>> WOW.
ARE SO HAPPY THOUGH THAT THEY
WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE WITH THEIR
LIVES.
THE HOWARD FAMILY SAYS THEY
HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED BY
SUPPORT MESSAGES AND DONATIONS
TO AN ONLINE FUNDRAISER SET UP
BY A FAMILY FRIEND.
WE'RE LEARNING WHAT MAY HAVE
SPARKED THAT WILLOW FIRE.
>> THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS
RELEASED ITS PRELIMINARY
FINDINGS THAT A HEATING LAMP
INSIDE A CHICKEN COOP
ACCIDENTALLY SPARKED THE FIRE.
THE CHICKEN COOP WAS DESTROYED.
SO THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF THE
FIRE REMAINS UNDETERMINED.
FIRE IS NOW 100 PERCENT
CONTAINED.
>> AND WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE WE
HAVE MADE IT THROUGH THIS
WEEK'S SANTA ANA EVENT WITH
JUST THAT ONE FIRE.
LARGE FIRES ARE STILL BURNING
TO OUR NORTH.
THE BONFIRE IN ORANGE COUNTY
BEGAN AS A HOUSE FIRE AND HAS
NOW GROWN TO SIXTY FOUR HUNDRED
ACRES.
BUT SO FAR THE BURN SCAR FROM
SEPTEMBER SILVERADO FIRE HAS
LARGELY KEPT THE FLAMES AWAY
FROM DENSELY POPULATED AREAS.
TWO FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEEN
INJURED THOUGH AS OF NOW THAT
FIRE IS STILL JUST 10 PERCENT
CONTAINED.
TONIGHT MORE THAN 3000 SD JANNI
CUSTOMERS STILL DON'T HAVE
POWER BECAUSE OF FIRE DANGER
CAUSED BY HIGH WINDS.
>> THAT'S DOWN THOUGH MORE THAN
60 THOUSAND HAD THEIR
ELECTRICITY CUT OFF DURING THE
HEIGHT OF YESTERDAY'S OUTAGES.
COMMUNITIES FROM EAST COUNTY TO
THE NORTH COUNTY REMAIN WITHOUT
POWER RIGHT NOW.
THAT INCLUDES CANDIDO AND
TINNITUS POWER A LAKESIDE
ELKHORN BOULEVARD AND A FEW
MORE.
ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER IS DOWN TO
THREE THOUSAND RIGHT NOW, SD
GENI SAYS NO OTHER COMMUNITIES
ARE AT RISK OF LOSING POWER
TONIGHT IS SET.
DEFINITELY GOOD NEWS .
THE WINDS HAVE CALMED DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS BUT WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE
WOODS JUST YET.
CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CARLENE
CHAVES JOINS US NOW WITH A
FIRST LOOK AT YOUR MICROCLIMATE
FORECAST.
CARLENE, IS IT GETTING BETTER?
IT IS.
IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER, CARLO.
THAT'S DEFINITELY A GOOD SIGN.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE HAD SUCH
A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN OUR
WIND SPEEDS.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WENT
AHEAD AND CANCELED THAT RED
FLAG WARNING THAT WAS SUPPOSED
TO GO UNTIL 10:00 P.M. TOMORROW
NIGHT.
TAKING A LOOK AT OUR CURRENT
MAP, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF CALM
WINDS OUT THERE IS KICKING UP
TO 18 MILES PER HOUR FROM
LAGUNA.
BUT THAT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO
WHAT WE HAD YESTERDAY.
AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A GOOD
TREND ACROSS THE COUNTY THREE
MILES PER HOUR FOR FALLBROOK,
THE SAME FOR BARINGO SPRINGS.
BUT GUSTS ARE EVEN IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS FOR MOST OF THE
COUNTY.
BUT AT 16 MILES PER HOUR AT
LAGUNA, WHICH IS DEFINITELY A
DIFFERENT STORY THAN YESTERDAY.
SO WE ARE ON A DOWNWARD TREND
WHEN IT DOES COME TO THOSE
WINDS LIGHT WINDS FOR THE
WEEKEND.
BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
SANTA ANA WINDS KICK UP YET
AGAIN THAT WILL START OFF NEXT
WEEK.
A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE FROM THE VALLEYS ALL
THE WAY TOWARDS THE DESERT.
GUSTS PICKING UP YET AGAIN BUT
NOT AS STRONG AS THEY WERE
YESTERDAY.
YESTERDAY MORNING WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT 60 MILE PER HOUR
WIND GUSTS PLUS EVEN UP TO 90
MILES PER HOUR WITH THIS NEXT
SANTA ANA WIND EVENT.
WE'RE TALKING GUSTS UP TO ABOUT
40 MILES PER HOUR FOR THE
FOOTHILLS.
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS WILL
BRIEF.
