walking through the line making sure everybody is already sign. up or signing up and if they need any help signing up, then that's our main priority at the moment. i've been online since yesterday looking for places and everybody was booked out till the end of the month. we're excited to have the national guard show up and and provide a support antioch. mayor lamar thorpe says the need for testing has never been greater in eastern contra costa county. we have some of the highest rates of covid infection. i'm excited that we're working collaboratively to solve this this before christmas this site was averaging about 300 tests per day now. it's 800 and healthcare workers. say the national guard may actually help them do even more tests this line right now. they probably will wait about an hour to be seen but the national guards here here. it's helping speed it up. so maybe half the time that may allow this site and others to add more testing appointments. the national guard's deployment

learning we california's state assembly vice chair of the education committee but the state can do to increase protection in schools like more testing the governor could do that right away. he has the ability to make that happen right now from the top down. another factor is schools getting less funding as attendance declines. you believe the funding law regarding schools will need to be modified. it will need to be modified. we are going to have to have some really deep thoughtful discussions on we fund our schools in the future. what do you think that's going to look like? i think that that's gonna have to be a hybrid assembly member dally wants to make sure students remain in the classroom new data from the state's department of education points to a decline in high school graduation rates and test scores during the pandemic. i'm concerned that we're a decade behind not just in learning loss, but i'm hearing from teachers and administrators that were having having to teach six year olds again.

people experiencing minor covid-19 symptoms. they are also experiencing a staffing shortage and those calls limit their ability to treat people with life-threatening emergencies what we're also seeing is many of our members off with covid so there is a supply and a demand issue. it's not just the fire department. san francisco. general says they too are seeing more people come to the hospital. they say many of them are coming with minor covid symptoms or just wanting a covid test. we are an extremely busy emergency department as well as a trauma center seeing as many as 200 or more people a day, dr. susan elric says more people are coming to the emergency. now than during previous surges just like the fire department. she says her emergency department are also shorthanded with staff members out with covid many of our staff are out either sick with covid. cells or because they are quarantining because they've had a high risk encounter. both are asking residents to only call 911 or go to the

hospital if it's an emergency. we really want to keep our ambulances available to people having a heart attack or a stroke so that we can get them to the hospital. we must keep our hospitals open and clear for people who require that kind of service in san francisco ryan curry abc 7 news. a quick reminder to stay up to date on the latest covid headlines or if you just have questions about the vaccine you can always head to abc 7 news com slash coronavirus. tomorrow we'll mark the return of one of the most beloved bay area athletes we are talking about warriors superstar klay thompson who announced today. he will take the court tomorrow after two and a half years of rehabbing two major injuries sports anchor chris alvarez joining us now with more and what do you call this play day, right? our mary clay smiths. we might go with that clay thompson taking the floor tomorrow night against cleveland for the first time dion 941 days. he's going to be in uniform
