ensuring sufficient staffing and employing a complaint system. earlier this month governor newsome said that he laid out new strategies and plans to protect seniors in nursing homes. it's unclear if you included any of these recommendations. >>graduating nurses want to help with the coronavirus pandemic but they're having some trouble finding work. this despite governor newsome calling for more nurses both retired and students to work on the front lines of covid-19 kron four's gayle ong has more. >>it was already challenging to find a nursing job before the pandemic it's a lengthy process that could take months what applicants are facing now are hiring freezes and require the skills needed. they just wanted to be in service during this difficult time to feel guilty. >>about being at home. during a pandemic. >>angela williams is a registered nurse and is looking for work. williams was recently working as an r and and cosmetic dermatology but was let go due to

>>good morning. happy sunday and welcome back to kron 4 news weekend want to go ahead and get a check of the weather for the first time this morning. and the sale of dave spahr hi dave. >>well good morning marty and robin good morning, everybody and now we can see from the sutro shot to quite over the bay we're seeing a bit of the way of fog going on this morning those be a morning phenomena that will mix up

very nicely course today, there's a shot from u c berkeley we can see the fog kind of hovering around the east bay shoreline a little bit in the golden gate bridge. we were talking about as we went to break also dealing with this addiction fog scenario, we have little bit of an onshore wind that and play some leftover from yesterday and our new high has to reposition itself. so we'll have a little bit the way some breezy conditions later today to citizen show your future cast for there's the fog covering the peninsula coast down to san francisco in the east bay shoreline. but in a few hours you can see the specs is out for a nicely it's going to be back again tomorrow morning, a however will be just a morning phenomenons like to linger with the overcast sky conditions kind of thing. so here's a look at those winds that we do have going on they do build later today and they stay with us into the evening hours again it's the height, it's repositioning itself to the right location to give us another heat spike that's due to get your bike tuesday. they see about 7 o'clock the winds quite active and they remain active until late tonight tomorrow penetrating all the

way into the east bay valleys by tomorrow morning will still be a little bit of a breeze looked over so that will be nocturnal winds for us too. so a future cast for of the marine layer, what it does to kind of pull say it's a little bit goes away for the day. and again overnight it will greet us tomorrow morning with fog as you can see along the peninsula down the santa cruz mountains of touch, although does all that mean a monterey bay is impacted as much as like what we are and then again mixing out nicely for sunny skies and then by tuesday. that's what really watching temperatures to really paths that's what going to be clark lining the most it looks like. so look ahead we're talking mostly sunny and mild today, breezy with those gusts to 20 to 30 and tomorrow not as windy for the balance of the day little breezy in the morning, mostly sunny warming temps will be bumped up a few. the next week temperatures reached their zenith at the top about tuesday, cooling onward and friday saturday, maybe in the north bay might pick up a little sprinkle some of the models are kind of getting

that that the key issue is we're going to spend all of the week really cooling down significantly by next weekend today, 65 san francisco, everybody else into the 70's, 70 per oakland 77 san jose essentially mostly sunny skies over the region and across the wider perspective here we have some lower 80's in place for the delta looks like santa rosa 81. but most in the regions will stay in the 70's for today again expecting that to be bumped up a little bit as we get into monday and particularly by tuesday we'll be covering all the more the at bat in the 4 zone forecast coming up for you in just a bit robin. >>people living in san francisco's mission district can get free coronavirus testing the city partnered with ucsf are free testing after the mission reported the highest number of covid-19 cases in the city. so here are the 4 testing site so you can go to take a look at your screen. there are garfield park park in ninos leonard flynn elementary school and cesar chavez elementary

school. there are 2 types of tests one to see if someone is actively infected with the virus. the other test to verify if someone had previously been affected and has developed antibodies against the virus anyone over the age of 4 is eligible regardless of symptoms you can find a link to register for the coronavirus testing on our website just go to kron 4 dot com. and in the east bay happening tomorrow, a drive-thru testing side will open in pleasanton stanford health care will be running the site at the alameda county fairgrounds this is monday through friday from 09:00am to 05:00pm. the site is for people living in pleasanton livermore and a plan you do not need an appointment for this one or a doctor's order to get tested. but you still have to show at least one of the coronavirus related sepp symptoms so keep that in mind to access the testing site you just enter through the fairgrounds skate gate 12 which is located just off a valley avenue.

>>the fda's authorizing 3 new coronavirus antibody test which can indicate of some one is immune to re infection. now this will bring the number of approved test to 7. but this kind of fda authorization carries a lower regulatory standard because it's you emergency-use standards that means that the benefits could out rain well weigh the risks, but the test do carry the possibility of false positives and negatives. it also remains unclear whether antibodies indicate that someone is in fact immune to re infection. organization says there is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from covid-19 have antibodies to protect them. from a second infection, some governments were even considering issuing so-called immunity passports that would allow people to have who have already tested positive for the virus to return to work or to even travel. but the w h o says

that for now there's not enough research to support that possibility. for the first time doctors at ucsf used a new type of plasma transfusion to treat a critically ill coronavirus patient. they do it by using donor antibodies from a patient who successfully recovered from covid-19 kron four's noelle bellow has more. there's a spectrum. >>symptoms and the population so spectrum of probability of whether or not you're going to develop. >>the good on the body doctor, peter chan, hong with ucsf says treating infectious disease patients with plasma using donor antibodies isn't a new concept. it was used during treatment of patients with polio and more recently those with sars and mers but that doesn't mean it's any less special during this crisis is the first case has a lot >>symbolic meaning of course that up but more importantly to me it gives us a sense of how the system works and how

we can do this for many more patients, this was the first covid-19 plasma transfusion at ucsf but it has been done at hospitals around the world during this pandemic we use people's bodies which are like a fighting army. i mean fuse it into people who want to say can do having developed these antibodies or get fighters yet. doctor chan hong says doctors at ucsf are working closely with the red cross and other blood banks to increase donations so other patients can benefit. >>he says though just because you had coronavirus doesn't necessarily mean you're plasma would be helpful and body tests saying it's kind of an interesting situation where. >>the sicker you are the more likely you are able to probably be i would do in a bid to nursery and how these good out of bodies in years. people in my sentence probably wouldn't have enough antibodies. he says having this treatment as an option is another reason more testing is needed across the country

again i wish we had more to say so then we would know who would potentially be eligible. and i think at the scene the beginning we're going to try get the system up and running noelle bellow kron 4 news. >>coming up next on the kron 4 morning news ride sharing support, how over stepping up for thousands of domestic violence victims and before we go a peek outside at the richmond sandra fell bridge. it's a mix of sunshine and blue skies going have another beautiful day in the bay area, sunny and warm once again we're all doing our part by staying at home.

the cdc urged all americans to wear masks in public, but only a handful of states have actually made it mandatory doctor sanjay gupta explains what some ask work best and why. >>now that we know about 25 to 50% of people are spreading asymptomatic lee. we suggested people work last facial coverings while the white house recommends we wear face masks in public. >>some states around the country have started making that mandatory i signed an executive order. >>which will require the wearing of masks or face coverings when inside any retail establishments, many are left wondering. >>which mask offers the best protection. now when we talk about face coverings there are the surgical masks i wear in the hospital to protect patients from my own germs and avoid any splashes. and then there are the n 95 respirator masks that must be fit tested in order to protect health care workers during certain procedures. it's the only one

of these masks that prevents most very small particles from getting in when used properly. we need to keep those masks in their hands. then there are the disposable cloth masks which you can buy in a store and online they are made for surgery or for hospitals but are also widely used. the cdc has recommended that we all wear cloth face masks like this one my daughter made this one. when we go out in public and we can't physically distance from each other keep in mind the reason is not so much to protect ourselves. but to protect others from us. it should come as no surprise that these medical grade masks are more effective, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss the benefit of cloth masks let me show you take a look at this experiment done by researchers at the national institutes of health. they use lasers to help show how far spit droplets traveled through the air when we talk spit watch how far those green dots go when he speaks this have

without the lasers these droplets might be invisible to the naked eye. but now with the cloth. we barely see anything it's haitians come out in the form of the gas and the wearing of masks therefore could be even if they're not high grade a way to contain a range of that lydia reba is a professor at mit who studies the physics behind how diseases spread through coughing, sneezing and breathing news which had hans momentum can then help these drops reach distances of up to 8 meters 26 feet call so second in line in terms of their momentum and that you can basically been dropped to 16 to 19 feet in the next generations and 3rd in line and bring drops further to the source around 6%. >>if you can see now why wearing a mask in addition to physical distancing. is so important your germs can travel far we also want to make sure that that mask is also clean right so that it

and why. >>now that we know about 25 to 50% of people are spreading asymptomatic lee. we suggested people work last facial coverings while the white house recommends we wear face masks in public. some states around the country have started making that mandatory i signed an executive order. >>which will require the wearing of masks or face coverings when inside any retail establishments, many are left wondering. >>which mask offers the best protection. now when we talk about face coverings there are the surgical masks i wear in the hospital to protect patients from my own germs and avoid any splashes. and then there are the n 95 respirator masks that must be fit tested in order to protect health care workers during certain procedures. it's the only one of these masks that prevents most very small particles from getting in when used properly. we need to keep those masks in their hands. then there are

the disposable cloth masks which you can buy in a store and online. they are made for surgery or for hospitals but are also widely used. the cdc has recommended that we all wear cloth face masks like this one my daughter made this one. when we go out in public and we can't physically distance from each other keep in mind the reason is not so much to protect ourselves. but to protect others from us. it should come as no surprise that these medical grade masks are more effective, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss the benefit of cloth masks let me show you take a look at this experiment done by researchers at the national institutes of health. they use lasers to help show how far spit droplets traveled through the air when we talk spit watch how far those green dots go when he speaks this have without the lasers these droplets might be invisible to the naked eye. but now with the cloth we barely see anything it's haitians come

out in the form of the gas and the wearing of masks therefore could be even if they're not high grade a way to contain a range of that lydia reba is a professor at mit who studies the physics behind how diseases spread through coughing, sneezing and breathing news which had hans momentum and then help these drops reach distances of up to 8 meters 26 feet call so second in line in terms of their momentum and that you can basically been dropped to 16 to 19 feet in the next generations and 3rd in line and bring drops further to the source around 6%. >>if you can see now why wearing a mask in addition to physical distancing. is so important your germs can travel far we also want to make sure that that mask is also clean right so that it doesn't also become a source of secondary contaminations. >>and you don't have to be a whiz with the sewing machine like my daughter t-shirt or a

bandanna will do a new alternately it's about having some form of barrier with multiple layers saturday. >>and the doctor and said if everyone would wear a mask it would have a significant effect on reducing the risk of covid-19 transmission. >>and now let's get a peek of your sunday morning forecast for checking back in with dave to see how the station thing up good morning dave. >>well good morning, robin everybody we have sunshine peering through some of the fog and it looks like that's going to this story into this afternoon as temperatures climb into the 70's. here's a breakdown we expect mid 70's that that don't forget there will be some winds particularly after we get past 3 o'clock. look at your forecast coming up in just a bit.

mrs. walker. michael vasquez! come over here. i've heard such good things about you, your company. well, i wouldn't have done any of it without you. without this place. this is for you. michael, you didn't have to... and, we're going to need some help with the rest. you've worked so hard to achieve so much. perhaps it's time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for.

>>good morning. we're back on kron 4 news weekend. one thing that we want to talk about now is social isolation. among older adults who were very serious concern before the coronavirus pandemic well now the health risks of loneliness from being sheltered in place are really even causing a greater public health for a senior population. we want to get more on this from our health expert care noah who is here to talk about how people are finding ways to connect. and karen this is really hit our senior population very hard not only physically because of the coronavirus but emotionally and socially as well. >>yes, it and this is one area that i'm very passionate about you know we took a problem

that already exist it and made it worse. it's it's really sad to see all these facilities and the programs that once kept the elderly in the seniors, engaged and now no longer available. >>so what a lot of these organizations have done is gone to digital or something online now y m c a exercise programs things like this. but that also brings up a whole series of problems for seniors to doesn't. >>absolutely because what points word. we're thinking to 50 million americans are over the age of 60. are 65 and then sell that one 3rd of them. >>dude i'm not comfortable with digital technology so that leaves out of the whole group half of them, you know they they they don't know how to set up these devices and and some don't even have the broadband connection.

>>right you know i i think about my dad who's in his late 80's and does not have a smartphone we've tried to get him one doesn't want it. i'm trying to get them online sometimes and he's doing it grudgingly but it's a it's a sha it's a very steep learning curve. >>it is and they need someone to guide them, but you're not allowed to be with them so that makes it that makes it very difficult to teach them. i have people that would love to be in my zeal classes, but they're not comfortable with the technology we want to make some clarity on definitions here there's a difference between loneliness and isolation right. >>bright eyes isolation is when you don't have social contacts year you're alone where the lra has loneliness not necessary alone you could still be surrounded by other people but you don't feel like

forced to stay home. >>and there's more of a disconnect with the outside world. >>right right in. you know that it's it's a really double edged sword. you know you're trying to protect the very group that is most vulnerable but you're also creating another layer of problems on top of that right right. >>what about the fact that so many people are isolated now is that a risk factor for covid-19. >>ah yes actually it is because the fact that isolation it already put you at a higher risk for heart disease and stroke. 60% increase in dementia if you the brain needs that social stimulation it needs be social interaction, yeah, and so it's

very it's not surprising that 50% also have a higher risk of dementia and when they're isolated. >>also also i was going i was going to ask you how how we work around these options now what were some things that we can do. >>it's it's interesting there's something said are some people have really take mobilize an and come up with some solutions here in the bay area we have the friendship line at all if you're part of that they know that that is a hotline for people that are 60 and over. it's a crisis line, but they also have what's called out warm line and this is for non emergency emotional support calls and they actually go out they reach out to some individuals that are lonely so you know they found that if have just a 5 minute

conversation with the an older adult yeah that they'll feel more connected. you know the shift from feeling lonely to feeling more connected in just that i've minute. >>it's amazing. it's amazing what a little bit of time a little bit of a connection even 5 minutes out of your day can make such a difference to someone else in our community, i know that late last week governor newsom of took a look at this issue and he came up with a new campaign not only to deliver food to seniors, but urging all californians to check in with a phone call a text. maybe even safely checking in in person. and what a difference that's going to make. >>right what they did the meals on wheels hour in atlanta and they actually instead of just dropping their food up in front of the door. they actually knocking on the door and until the person answers and then they they get 6 feet up a way that they have a 5 minute conversation they

know at the time because that may be the only son social interaction that that person has in the whole day or that week. >>yeah, i think one way to look at this as well as for people who are having to deal with social isolation at whatever age group. they still have a facetime zoom a number of other ways to but as we mentioned before seniors may not be up to speed on this tie all the g so just imagine not even having that outlet. >>oh yeah and maybe maybe a phone is the only outlet they have right can the outside world just to wrap up there are some other programs you're going to talk about meals on wheels for instance, meals on wheels you know if maybe all the communities that have that program take that time to have those conversations also some of the library's actually reach out to their pay patrons and and call them not check on

how they're doing in and just having that 5 minute conversation, >>yeah, i'm karen and just to wrap things up to it only takes 5 minutes and it can make a world of difference, thank you so much he where welk but by you to you all right robin. all right, thank you. >>checking in on your forecast now after karl, the fog clears out looks like it's going to be another beautiful day around the bay area i think yesterday was like my first time in a long time, but i turned on my air conditioner because it was just very warm and toasty so yeah, it's going to be really nice day look at the shot have that blanket of fog. the marine layer that spilling over the base of the soon as this clears out hopefully as dave always says the fan will make an let's check in with david see how the sunday it's a stocking update. >>robin you're going to have to use that ac looks like on tuesday, particularly so glad it's working just fine you you know that your ac works because it again you'll be needing it just probably for tuesday, then then it could take another arrest again for the remainder of the week bay bridge shot here. the modest
