not really getting that protein so real important to get it during the day during your meals and even during your snacks. another thing they found that vitamin c which is an antioxidant also. but also helped increase muscle mass 1.6% and 3.4% in study they did on older adults. >>karen can you just give us a guideline so most people understand when we're talking about 6 grams. what what really about 10.6 grams day. >>yeah, it's it's not a lot but then when you times it multiply that by your body weight so 90 grams of protein if you're eating protein at every meal you should be okay. we're talking 3 to 4 ounces or half a cup of beans, half a cup to cup of beans and each at each meal, really start focusing on where you're getting your protein and how much you're getting at every
7:53 am
meal. okay, so this really is a reachable goal then as far as approaching goes. oh, yes, the adult, the elder adult actually needs more approaching those those guidelines are are the same as that of an athlete. >>ok we're going to have to cut it short there, but i'd like to continue next week because this is so important for so many people to figure out ways to only not only get better health but also maybe slow down the aging when you say chapter to next weekend. >>that sounds great writing to slow down aging

have a little package of some high clouds drifting on past. most readings in the 40's in the 50's so forget the 30's all learn did dipped briefly into that 48 going on for san jose 51 antioch 43 for livermore however most locations are a little warmer than they were this time from yesterday there it is as you can see on the satellite picture, but basically he's been going through your saturday and sunday. it's mostly sunny, mostly clear skies. so we'll do about 67 come 12 o'clock by 3 at 71 under sunny to mostly sunny skies to the period there we are looking though for again those offshore winds developing by tomorrow night through monday that means a wind advisory and a high wind watch will be getting more to that and a bit marty all right dave thanks a lot. we begin with developing news. this morning. one man is in jail as the sfpd along with the fbi discovered chemicals used to make explosives they found inside motor home. it happened a candlestick rv park now no one was hurt. there was no
8:02 am
damage. but police did evacuate neighbors for a time just to be on the safe side. police say this was an isolated incident, but they are continuing their investigation. and our top story this morning. it's now been a month since california started giving covid vaccine injections to front-line workers and to those people who are eligible. >>it's safe to say though the rollout is not meeting expectations. according to the cdc, the u.s. distributed more than 31 million doses. but only about 13 million people have received the shots now that's less than 42% of all available doses. and here in california they given just over 1 million of a possible 3 and a half million injections. so california has used about one 3rd of its available shots. that's the second-lowest amount of any of the 50 states governor newsom says california simply has to do better. >>let me just quite candid with each and every one of you we've got increased the pace and distribution in the administration of these
8:03 am
vaccines. the reality is we need to get these vaccines out of the freezer we need to get him into people's arms. >>the governor was at dodger stadium in los angeles which is now the largest covid-19 vaccination site in the country officials are working to set up a similar vaccine mega site across the state and help speed up the distribution process. the number of people dying at long-term care facilities and assisted living homes is deeply disturbing with so many people losing loved ones in long-term care facilities, there's a push to make sure this vulnerable vulnerable population is the first group to be vaccinated but health care advocates say this is not happening. kron four's terisa stasio takes a closer look at the problem and the vital next steps. >>this is really got to be a all hands on deck mike dark the staff attorney for california advocates for nursing home reform. >>and member of the california vaccine community advisory committee. tells a chilling story about getting calls at
8:04 am
christmas from those who have loved ones. >>and long-term care facilities dealing with the pandemic through over christmas i got a call from a facility in southern california where one nurse with covid symptoms for south was trying to take care of 43 residents all of whom had covid. >>because i was getting from multiple families of of these residents were were people who are sopping. because they didn't know what to do they knew that their loved ones their parents or grandparents were and there was nowhere to go. >>covid-19 is killing those at assisted living homes and long-term care facilities disproportionately the cdc puts the death rate at around 40% of all deaths from sars covid 2 it's really a tale of 2 vaccinations going pretty well, especially in large nursing homes. >>the problem is that there are more than 7,000 assisted living facilities in california. that offer a lower
8:05 am
level of care but serve the same vulnerability who die at disproportionate rates of this disease and vaccinations making almost no progress in those facilities at all it's terribly alarming. he says the state needs to step in and have more accountability. the most important thing right now ironically is getting good information and by that i mean the state is not providing to the public any way of tracking how fast or slow vaccination is proceeding in long-term care facilities. you can find it and so what we're getting is mostly anecdotal reports from families and residents of these facilities and he says more outreach must occur one of the things that most seriously frustrates me another advocates elderly in california. is how many residents of assisted living facilities are being told. you go figure it out yourself we the facility are not going to be offering the vaccines is just too complicated. so you
8:06 am
figured out and there's things to people who have cognitive impairments people who may be disabled and people who are living in places where there are visitation restrictions that keep them from going in and out easily. so this this will be a disaster if the state doesn't get on top of that very soon he says a solid action plan to those who are the most vulnerable in society needs to be figured out fast for for us the vaccine is credible sort of ray of hope. it would be terrible and ironic if while it's available finally. thousands of californians continue to die, we've got to do something about it. teresa stasio kron 4 news. the u.s. has seen more coronavirus deaths in just the past 2 weeks than any other 14 day stretch and according to johns hopkins university. >>since january 1st more than 42,000 people have died from covid in the u.s. averaging more than 3,000 deaths per day

national defense needs his plan also includes proposals to create federally funded community vaccination centers to make the vaccine available in pharmacies and to launch mobile clinics to get shots to underserved communities. biden also criticized the trump administration's policy of holding back close to half of the supply the vaccines to make sure they'd be available for the second doses. when president elect biden takes office in a couple of days it will come during the darkest days of the pandemic to date the u.s. has seen more see more coronavirus deaths in the past 2 weeks compared to any other 14 day stretch. and according to johns hopkins university hospital since january 1st more than 42,000 people have died from covid across the country averaging more than 3,000 deaths a day here in california we're averaging more than 500 daily deaths because of covid. the latest data from the state health department shows icu bed capacity in our region is

now at 3.4%. it's just over 6% in the greater sacramento region which is not under the regional stay at home order. officials are projecting the numbers will improve over the next month or so meantime the san joaquin valley and southern california region still have no icu beds left. over the past 2 months, stanford medicine is taken in more than 600 patients from other hospitals which don't have enough empty beds, a few dozens of those patients had covid-19 but most of them had other conditions now this also comes as many other hospitals have canceled or postponed. many types of surgeries. >>all types of patients kidney patients cancer patients heart patients and all that. it's that in general covid has stretched the resources of all of our hospitals and all of our systems. >>stanford hospital is waiving the usual insurance clear and so one of the several steps to help speed up the transfer of

8:39 am
>>we want to know who who are they. why are they here. it what are their intentions. and how long have they've been here. >>the clock is ticking for the pentagon's discreet program to investigate foes as ordered by a clause in the coronavirus relief bill. the a p task force which stands for unidentified aerial phenomenon. now has less than 180 days to submit a detailed overview of the u f o mystery to congress so far this week nearly 3,000 documents have been declassified and can be found on the black called website. we spoke with the state director of the northern california mutual ufo network about these developments. census information will be on classified can we expect some groundbreaking information or do you think that it may still be tailored to. >>what the federal government the public can handle and b what may be safe to reveal for any foreign enemies out there listening. >>i it's probably the latter both there we might be some
8:40 am
groundbreaking information but i could totally understand a cautious because he could be a national security issue too. >>that threat may be prompting a stronger push from lawmakers for more information to be shared. the first public mention of the p task force came in june 2020 when the senate intelligence committee formally asked the pentagon for a comprehensive analysis of the mysterious objects over the last 3 years members and staff of the key committees had received closed door briefings about startling encounters with the u.s. military. there has been a lot of evidence worldwide including video from our navy pilots which the department of defense released last year that captured strange objects moving in ways that defy our current understanding of physics, marco rubio who is on the senate intelligence committee has been very vocal on demanding more concrete answers and transparency anytime you have things flying
8:41 am
over military installation and you don't know what they are that immediately raises issues of counterintelligence not immediately raises issues of national security. >>and so my view of it is that we have something that that we need to know the answer to the american public deserve to know as much as possible about it and we shouldn't allow the stigma associated with u f o to keep us from trying to answer that question. for decades, americans have been reporting various descriptions of things they can't explain. >>floating in the sky from orb of light to saucers and disks despite the new push for information. it may be difficult to prove whether all of it will truly be released. >>and they're coming for the weather this weekend looking marvelous we've got lower 70's on the board here some upper 60's while we're at it as well and some high cloudiness a little bit more watching for those
