.A
.A HUGE
.A HUGE SPIKE IN COVID CASES HAS VACCINATED SAN DIEGANS CONCERNED THAT THE UNVACCINATED
ARE HELPING THE VIRUS TO MUTATE
AND THAT'S PUTTING EVERYONE AT
RISK. GOOD EVENING AND THANKS
FOR JOINING US TONIGHT. I'M
STEVE PRICE AND I'M KERISTEN
HOLMES. FEARS ARE GROWING AMONG
VACCINATED SAN DIEGO ZOO AFTER
THE COUNTY REACHED THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF COVID-19 CASES WE'VE
SEEN IN NEARLY SIX MONTHS.
UNVACCINATED PEOPLE MAKE UP THE
MAJORITY OF THOSE INFECTED BUT
THERE ARE SOME CASES THAT ARE
ON THE RISE. NEWS8 WETHERHOLD
SPOKE TO CNN DIEGANS ABOUT THIS
STARTLING TREND. SHE JOINS US
NOW LIVE FROM KEARNY MESA WITH
THE LATEST HEATHER. YES, AND
WITH THIS GROWING TREND
OF THOSE NUMBERS SPIKING, MANY
OF THOSE VACCINATED WERE PUT ON
HIGH ALERT. THE ONES WE SPOKE
TO TODAY SAID THEY WERE NOT
EXCITED ABOUT THIS ALARMING
TREND. BUT YEAH, I DO WORRY
THAT ARE GOING BACK IN THAT
DIRECTION WITH NEW COVID-19
CASES HITTING OVER 100 IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY, THE HIGHEST SINCE
FEBRUARY 5TH, FEARS ARE GROWING
A LITTLE CONCERN. I MEAN I AM
YEAH. IN THE LAST 30 DAYS OVER
6500 SAN DIEGANS TESTED
POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 OF THAT
GROUP 89 PERCENT WERE
UNVACCINATED BUT 11 PERCENT
WERE FULLY VACCINATED. I FEEL A
LITTLE BIT SAFER NOW THAT I'M
VACCINATED BUT I DO STILL WORRY
ABOUT THAT UNVACCINATED
POPULATION POTENTIALLY
SPREADING THE MUTATED DELTA
VARIANT. MANY OF THOSE WHO GOT
THE SHOT ARE STILL UNEASY ABOUT
GETTING COVID. IT'S A CONCERN
THAT FUTURE MUTATIONS WILL THEN
LEARN TO GET AROUND THE VACCINE
VACCINATED VISITORS TO BALBOA
PARK ARE PROCEEDING WITH
CAUTION BUT WE'RE BOTH
VACCINATED. SO WE'RE BUT WE'RE
STILL NOT COMFORTABLE IN AN
ENCLOSED BASE OR INSIDE GOING
OUT WITHOUT A MASK AS COMMUNITY
OUTBREAKS, HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
ICU ADMISSIONS PICK UP
DRAMATICALLY 98 PERCENT OF ALL
HOSPITALIZATIONS IN THE LAST
MONTH ARE FROM THOSE WHO ARE
NOT FULLY VACCINATED. WE HAVE A
VERY, VERY EXTREME, HIGHLY
CONTAGIOUS VARIANT. WE HAVE A
LOT OF PEOPLE NOT MASKING AND
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 PERCENT OF THE
COUNTY PLUS EVERYBODY UNDER THE
AGE OF 12 WHO ARE STILL NOT
FULLY VACCINATED. NOW MANY ARE
FEELING FORCED TO GO BACK TO
MASKING UP ALL THIS IS A LITTLE
BIT OF A SHOCK. YOU KNOW, IT'S
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WHAT TO
DO NOT WEAR IT WHERE IT YOU
KNOW, I WAS EXCITED TO NOT WEAR
THE MASK BECAUSE I HATE MASK ME
WHICH HAPPENS TO ME BUT I ALSO
WORK AT A HOSPITAL SO I HAVE TO
WEAR IT ALL THE TIME ANYWAY.
THEN THERE'S THE FEAR THAT
INCREASED CASES COULD CAUSE
ANOTHER SHUTDOWN THAT NEED TO
SHUT DOWN. IT NEEDS TO SHUT
DOWN. I DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T
THINK IT'S GOING THAT WAY MORE
CASES BUT YOU KNOW IT'S HARD
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE
ECONOMICS, YOU KNOW, AND
BUSINESSES LOTS OF BUSINESSES
GOING OUT ESPECIALLY THE YOU
KNOW, SMALL RESTAURANTS AND
STUFF LIKE THAT. WHAT DO YOU DO
THAT'S HARD? IT'S A HARD CHOICE
.SO MANY SAY IN ORDER TO TRY
TO MITIGATE THIS FEARS THAT
CONTINUE TO GROW, THEY'RE GOING
TO GO BACK TO MASKING. SOME ARE
CONTINUING SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND AVOIDING THOSE LARGE
GATHERINGS. STEPHEN KERISTEN
AND THAT IS A LOT TO THINK
ABOUT AND TAKE IN. HEATHER, LET
ME ASK THIS WHAT ELSE IS THE
COUNTY DOING TO HELP NOW THE
COUNTY HAS SET UP AT LEAST
EIGHT VACCINATION SITES. YOU
GET PFIZER, JOHNSON AND JOHNSON
AND MODERNA AND THESE ARE
LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY
.GET THE VACCINE FREE
OF CHARGE. ALL RIGHT. THANK
YOU, HEATHER. A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THERE ARE
STILL PLACES TO GET THE VACCINE
PHARMACY AND THOSE OTHER SPOTS
AS WELL. THANKS, HEATHER. AN
HOUR MAN SHOT AND KILLED BY
POLICE AFTER A BRIEF CHASE IN
TALMAGE OVERNIGHT. OFFICERS
BELIEVE THIS MAN IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR TWO SHOOTINGS LAST NIGHT
INCLUDING ONE ON UNIVERSITY
AVENUE WHERE A MAN WAS SHOT
MULTIPLE TIMES BUT OFFICERS
TRACKED DOWN THE SUSPECT'S CAR
.THEY SAY THE MAN GOT OUT AND
RAN. POLICE SAY HE THEN REFUSED
TO DROP HIS GUN SO THEY SHOT
HIM. THREE OTHER SUSPECTS WERE
ARRESTED. SINEGAL POLICE'S
HOMICIDE AND THE D.A. NOW
INVESTIGATING THAT SHOOTING
THREATS OF AN ARMED PERSON FOR
SHARP GROSSMONT HOSPITAL TO
BRIEFLY SHELTER IN PLACE LATE
LAST NIGHT. ACCORDING TO SHARP
OFFICIALS, THERE WAS A DOMESTIC
INCIDENT OUTSIDE THE EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT HAPPENED AROUND
11:00 LAST NIGHT. ONE OF THE
PEOPLE INVOLVED THREATENED TO
HURT THEMSELVES AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT RECEIVED REPORTS
THAT THAT PERSON HAD A WEAPON.
EVENTUALLY THEY SURRENDERED. NO
WEAPONS WERE FOUND. NO ONE
ENTERED. A SHORT TIME LATER THE
HOSPITAL RETURNED TO ITS
REGULAR OPERATIONS. AN 18 YEAR
OLD WOMAN IS AND TWO MEN ARE
RECOVERING AFTER A MULTICAR
CRASH IN OCEANSIDE. POLICE
BELIEVE THE DRIVER AT FAULT ONE
OF THE MEN WAS DRIVING UNDER
THE INFLUENCE AND ALL HAPPENED
JUST AFTER 11:00 FRIDAY NIGHT
AT EL CAMINO REAL IN FIRE
MOUNTAIN DRIVE. ONE OF THE CARS
WAS HEADED SOUTHBOUND WHEN IT
CROSSED INTO THE CENTER MEDIAN
HIT A FIRE HYDRANT AND THEN
TRAVELED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
THAT'S WHEN THE VEHICLE HIT TWO
OTHER CARS HEADED NORTHBOUND ON
EL REALE CAUSING ONE OF THE
CARS TO ROLL OVER THE JEBRAIL
WAS OF OCEANSIDE WAS PRONOUNCED
DEAD AT THE SCENE. THE DRIVER
WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND
ANOTHER DRIVER ONLY HAD MINOR
INJURIES. BOTH OF THE MEN ARE
EXPECTED TO BE OK AND A TRUCK
DRIVER HAS DIED AFTER A CRASH
IN FALLBROOK. IT HAPPENED JUST
BEFORE TWO THIRTY THIS MORNING
ON DOOLARS ROAD AND ASPEY 15
FREEWAY NORTH COUNTY FIRE
OFFICIALS SAY THE LARGE BOX
TRUCK THE MAN WAS DRIVING FLEW
OFF THE OVERPASS AND LANDED ON
DULIN ROAD. THE DRIVER WAS
THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS
WEDGED BETWEEN A PILLAR AND
SOME ROCKS. FIREFIGHTERS FREED
A MAN WHO WAS TAKEN TO A
HOSPITAL WHERE HE LATER DIED.
CHP IS NOW LOOKING INTO THE
CAUSE OF THAT CRASH. DOZENS
OF PEOPLE RALLIED DOWNTOWN IN
SUPPORT OF MISSING CHULA VISTA
MOM MAYA MILLETE DAYS AFTER
POLICE NAMED HER HUSBAND A
PERSON OF INTEREST IN THE CASE.
AND THIS ALL COMES AFTER THREE
WARRANTS WERE SERVED AT THE
FAMILY'S HOME IN CHULA VISTA. A
GUN VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDER
WAS ALSO ISSUED AGAINST MAYA'S
HUSBAND LARRY BACK IN MAY.
ALTHOUGH SIX MONTHS HAVE PASSED
SINCE MAYA DISAPPEARED, HER
FAMILY IS DEFINITELY NOT GIVING
UP HOPE. SO IT'S ONE OF OUR
EFFORTS TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD
THE WORD AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN
GET MORE VOLUNTEERS AND COME
AND HELP US SEARCH. SO YOU
KNOW, THIS IS ONE OF OUR
EFFORTS AGAIN ON GOING TO KEEP
THE COLLECTION GOING AND TO GET
HER NAME IN THE SPOTLIGHT. AS
YOU HEARD MAYA'S FAMILY LOOKING
