>>> RIGHT NOW WE TURN TO ALARMING NEW NUMBERS OF COVID.

THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION IS NOW SAYING THAT NEARLY 15 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE DIED DUE TO OR BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

A MILLION OF THOSE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND LOCALLY CASES ONCE AGAIN ARE ON THE RISE.

LATEST DAILY RELEASE NUMBERS SHOW 837 NEW CASES FOR MAY 4th AS WELL AS 5 DEATHS.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER ALSO FOUND COVID TREATMENTS ARE UP.

>> I KNOW WITH COVID EVERYTHING CHANGES.

THAT IS OUR NEW NORMAL.

RIGHT?

IS THAT WE WILL HAVE INCREASING CASES, WE WILL HAVE DECREASING CASES.

RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT A POINT WHERE WE ARE STARTING TO HAVE AN INCREASE IN CASES.

>> THE DEPUTY CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER SAID THAT THE MOST RECOMMENDED V TREATMENT IS PAXLOVID.

LIKE OTHER TREATMENTS IT HAS TO BE USED WITH IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS AFTER SYMPTOMS START.

>> WE ARE SEEING AN UP TICK IN BOTH THE O ARE, AL TREATMENTS AND WE HAVE CONTINUED WEEK AFTER WEEK TO HAVE AN UP TICK IN THE USE OF OUR ANTIBODIES.

>> THEY HELP RUN THREE SITES WHERE ANTIBODIES ARE GIVEN.

THEY REQUIRE AN INFUSION AND ARE FREE DURING A SINGLE VISIT.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS ABOUT THESE EXISTING TREATMENTS AND NEW VARIANTS.

>> THOSE THREE TREATMENTS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE NIH ARE THOUGHT TO BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE BA.2.

>> IT'S BELIEVED THAT THE TREATMENTS ALSO WORK AGAINST A NEW SUBVARIANT THAT IS STARTING TO BE FOUND IN SAN DIEGO.

THE COUNTY IS ALSO WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT DOSES ARE GOING OUT TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.

IT'S A PREVENTIVE TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IMMUNE COMPROMISED AND DON'T GET ENOUGH OR ANY PROTECTION FROM THE COVID VACCINES.

IT'S ALSO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALLERGIC TO VACCINES.

>> WE NEED TO DO THAT DUAL APPROACH WHERE WE MECHANIC SURE THAT PROVIDERS ARE AWARE OF IT AND WE MAKE SURE THAT PATIENTS ARE AWARE OF IT SO WITH CAN REALLY GET ANYONE WHO IS AT RISK IN OUR POPULATION.

WE CAN GET THEM THAT TREATMENT.

>> THE COUNTY HAS SEEN A SLOW INCREASE IN HOSPITALS AND CLINIC WHO ARE ORDERING MEDICATION.

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF COVID THERAPY IN THE COUNTY.

IF YOU GET COVID GET TREATMENT.

>> KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS WE REPORTED ALL WEEK TOP STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS PROMISING TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.

FOR MANY ROE V. WADE HAS BEEN THE LAW OF THE LAND FOR DECADES BUT FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE THEY ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THIS POSSIBLE HISTORY MAKING CHANGE IN REALTIME.

MJ PEREZ WITH MORE ON THEIR PERSPECTIVE.

>> I PLEDGE ALL,EGIANCE.

>> HERE AT SAN DIEGO HIGH SCHOOL MORE THAN 2500 STUDENTS PROSECUTE ACROSS THE COUNTY ATTEND CLASSES AWARE OF THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND THE NEWS THAT COULD IMPACT THEIR LIVES FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

>> TO THINK ABOUT THAT WE WILL RESTRICT A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE IS JUST DISGUSTING AND IMMORAL.

>> ZACKERY IS THE SAN DIEGO STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.

HE REPRESENTS THE YOUNG VOICES OF STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

>> NOBODY OUT THERE IS SAYING GO ABORTIONS.

THAT'S NOT THE CONVERSATION THAT'S HAPPENING.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THESE PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE THESE OPTIONS AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE AND STUDENTS IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

>> STUDENTS HAVE PLENTY TO SAY ABOUT THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS.

>> I'M WORRIED THEY WILL MAKE ABORTION ILLEGAL AND THAT WILL LEAD TO SOME UNSAFE PRACTICES AND JUST LEAD TO OVERALL WOMEN NOT HAVING THE CHOICES OVER THEIR BODIES.

>> I FEEL LIKE WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE CHOICE TO DO WHAT THEY WANT THEIR BODY.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A UTERUS SHOULD MAKE A DECISION THAT IS SO IMPACTFUL.

IT'LL JUST STOP SAFE ABORTION.

>> NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, THIS GENERATION HAS ALREADY SURVIVED HISTORIC CHANGES.

IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT MANY OF THEM ARE ALREADY WORKING ON SOLUTIONS.

>> I WILL WORK MY HARDEST TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND VOTE IN THE NEXT COMING ELECTIONS AND TRY TO MAKE SURE MY VOICE IS HEARD.

>> PATRIOTISM IS FOUND ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES EVERY DAY.

MG PEREZ.

>>> IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF BUT WHEN THE NEXT WILDFIRE STRIKES.

NOW ONE LOCAL LAWMAKER IS TAKING STEPS TO MAKE SURE FIREFIGHTERS HAVE THE HEALTH THAT THEY NEED.

THIS AS CALIFORNIA TOOK PART IN WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS WEEK.

>> IT'S A FAMILIAR NOISE DURING FIRE SEASON.

CAL FIRE HELICOPTERS FLYING OVERHEAD TO HELP DOUSE A FIRE.

WITH MUCH OF CALIFORNIA STILL UNDER SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS, THE GOVERNOR DECLARED THIS WEEK TO BE WILDFIRE PREPAREDNESS WEEK.

>> THIS IS LUSH RIGHT NOW BUT BY THIS SUMMER ALL THIS GREEN WILL TURN INTO BROWN DRY BRUSH.

PERFECT FUEL FOR WILDFIRES.

>> PATRICK WALKER IS WITH THE UNION REPRESENTING MORE THAN 800 FIREFIGHTERS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

HE SAID THAT WITH CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES SEASON LASTING LONGER AND LONGER IT'S TAKING A TOLL ON HIS MEMBERS.

>> FROM BEHAVIOR HEALTH, MARRIAGES, FAMILY LIFE, EVERYTHING COSTS.

IT'S 2022 AND WE ARE USING 1975 LEVELS OF OUR STAFFING.

>> RIGHT NOW CAL FIRE OPERATE WAS ABOUT 2.7 CREW MEMBERS PER FIRE ENGINE.

A FULLY STAFFED ENGINE NEEDS AT LEAST THREE.

TO KEEP ENGINES FULLY STAFFED THEY ARE MANDATING OVERTIME.

DURING WILDFIRE SEASON THAT COULD MEAN FIREFIGHTERS WORKING 40 OR MORE DAYS NONSTOP.

> TAKES A TOLL ON THE FIREFIGHTERS WORK THOSE SHIFTS.

>> THAT'S WHY STATE SENATOR BRIAN JONES REPRESENTING A WIDE AREA OF RURAL EAST COUNTY IS CO WRITING A BILL TO ADD MORE THAN 1100 FIREFIGHTERS TO CAL FIRE.

HIS DISTRICT IS ONE OF THE MOST FIRE PRONE AREAS IN THE COUNTY.

> WE NEED TO GET THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS STAFFED, RESTAFFED, BACK UP AND THEN EXPAND THE STAFFING SO WE ARE READY FOR THE FIRES WHEN THEY HAPPEN.

>> CAL FIRE'S UNION SUPPORTS THE BILL.

IT'S MOVING FORWARD IN COMMITTEE PENDING THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET REVISION.

IF PASSED IT'LL GO INTO EFFECT NEXT YEAR.

>>> CITY PARKS ARE MEANT FOR FUN OR RELAXATION.

THE SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER'S ASSOCIATION SAID VIOLENT CRIME AND MURDER ARE ON THE RISE AT PUBLIC PARKS.

JACOB SAID A SAN DIEGO COUNCILMEMBER CLAIMS SHE WAS UNFAIRLY TARGETED BY THE ORGANIZATION FOR THE SPIKE.

>> SAN DIEGO POLICE SAY THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY ARE INCREASING NUMBERS OF MURDERS AND VIOLENT CRIME AT CITY PARKS.

POLICE UNION PRESIDENT JARROD WILSON SAID THE SPIKE IS HAPPENING IN ALL CORNERS OF THE CITY.

>> ON FRIDAY NIGHT THERE WAS THE 12th HOMICIDE IN A PARK IN THE LAST YEAR AND THE DATA SHOWS THAT IS A DRASTIC UP TICK IN MURDERS AND CITY PARKS.

IF A NEWS RELEASE THE UNION SINGLED OUT CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT WHO HEADS THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT SAID SHE WANTS TO DIVERT POLICE FUNDING.

THE COUNCILMEMBER SAID THEIR STATEMENT IS JUST NOT TRUE.

ACCORDING TO MONTGOMERY, A LACK OF RESOURCES FOR COMMUNITIES SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 8 HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE VIOLENCE.

>> VIOLENCE IS NOT BIOLOGICAL.

IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED WITH MORE FUNDING AND UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF VIOLENCE AND CRIME WE WILL CONTINUE SEEING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES IN OUR CITY AND IN OUR SYSTEMS.

>> WILSON IS PROPOSING THAT COMMUNITY POLICING MAKES A COME BACK.

>> PREVENTING CRIME IS POSSIBLE IN PUBLIC SPACES.

THAT'S WHERE POLICE OFFICERS CAN INTERACT WITH THE COMMUNITY, THEY CAN DO THOSE TYPES OF FOOT PATROLS CHOO COMMUNITY POLICINGS.

WE CAN'T DO THAT WITH THE STAFFING WE HAVE.

THAT'S WHERE IT'S A RED FLAG AND ASKING FOR HELP.

>> MONTGOMERY STEP SAID SHE ENCOURAGES THE UNION TO PRESENT THEIR SOLUTIONS AT HER JUNE MEETING.

SHE PROPOSES FUNDING MORE YOUTH AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, ADDING MORE STREET LIGHTS, AND TAKING DOWN GRAFITTI TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

SHE SAID THOSE EFFORTS WILL ENFORCE CRIME PREVENTION BY ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN AND REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME AND HOMICIDE.

>>> IT'S A SAD FACT BUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA DOUBLED LAST YEAR.

CHRISTINA KIM SAID A PROFESSOR AND HIS STUDENTS ARE TAKING A UNIQUE APPROACH TO TRY AND HELP THOSE LIVING ON THE STREETS.

>> IT REALLY PUTS A HUMAN FACE ON PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREET.

>> ON ANY GIVEN DAY YOU CAN FIND BRUCE AND HIS STUDENTS WALKING AROUND SAN DIEGO'S HOMELESS CAMPS.

>> THEY ARE ALL LIKE WHERE YOU SLEEP.

>> TALKING TO PEOPLE AND ASKING THEM TO DRAW MAPS.

>> STUDENTS AND -- STUDENT RESEARCHERS MYSELF GO OUT AND HAVE PEOPLE ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS AND THEN DRAW A MAP ON BLANK PIECES OF PAPER OF THEIR MOST IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES AND THE MOST IMPORTANT DESTINATIONS OF THEIR LIFE.

>> ITS PART OF A RESEARCH PROJECT HE STARTED IN SPRING 2021.

HE IS A PROFESSOR OF CITY PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN AND HE IS TRYING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS NAVIGATE THEIR DAILY LIFE.

>> IT'S A HUMAN CENTERED APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE HOME TERRITORIES AND THEIR NEEDS.

>> IT ALL STARTS WITH THE STUDENTS ASKING PEOPLE IF THEY ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND IF THEY HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS.

PEOPLE LIKE TERRANCE.

THE 45-YEAR-OLD HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE STREETS FOR YEARS.

>> ITS BEEN A STRUGGLE, YOU KNOW, OUT HERE.

JUST TRYING TO MAINTAIN AND SURVIVE.

>> A STUDENT INTERVIEWED MAYFIELD.

SHE MADE SURE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN SERVICES, SUCH AS SHELTER.

>> WOULD YOU GO BACK?

>> TO THE SHELTER?

I MIGHT BUT I JUST GOT OUT OF ONE.

>> OKAY.

>> I'M PRETTY MUCH BURNED OUT ON IT.

DEALING PEOPLE OUT HERE IS A LITTLE MORE -- >> IT'S LESS STRESSFUL?

>> IN THERE IT'S A DIFFERENT TYPE OF STRESS.

YOU HAVE CLOSED QUARTERS AND HYGEINE ISSUES WITH OTHER PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW, USING THE FACILITIES AND WHAT NOT.

>> AND FINALLY THEY ASK HIM TO DRAW A MAP OF HIS HOME TERRITORY.

WHERE HE GOES TO SLEEP, TO GET FOOD, CHARGE HIS PHONE AND OTHER DAILY TASKS.

>> WHERE DO YOU CHARGE YOUR PHONE?

>> LIBRARY.

MAYBE.

>> YOU CAN MARK THAT?

>> HE SAID HE IS ALWAYS MOVING BUT THE MAP SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHERE HE LIVES.

>> I DON'T REALLY GO PAST THIS AREA.

>> WOW CONSIDER THIS YOUR HOME TERRITORY?

>> I WOULDN'T CONSIDER IT HOME.

>> RIGHT.

>> IT'S MY COMMUNITY.

>> THAT'S A DIFFERENCE THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE.

HOME MEANS SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT THAN JUST SHELTER.

>> TO ME, YOU KNOW, HOMELESS AND HOUSELESS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

YOU KNOW YOU COULD HAVE A HOUSE OR APARTMENT OR WHATEVER AND STILL BE HOMELESS.

>> AFTER THE INTERVIEW WRAPS UP HE GIVES MAYFIELD A GIFT CARD FOR FOOD.

EVERYBODY WHO INTERVIEWS GETS ONE.

>> THIS IS DRAWN BY ALFREDO.

HE MOSTLY STAYS ON THIS SIDE.

HE SAID HOW HE USES THE PORTA POTTY.

>> THEY WANT TO USE THEM TO DESIGN SERVICES TO MAKE SENSE BASED ON WHAT THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT SHELTER CURFEWS, CROWDING AND THE AREAS MANY PEOPLE AVOID.

HE SAID THEY ARE ALSO A REFLECTION OF OUR SOCIETY.

>> IT'S NOT AS MUCH WHAT THE MAPS SAY ABOUT THE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS BUT ABOUT WHAT IS SAYS ABOUT US AND OFTEN TIMES PEOPLE ARE JUST LOOKING AT HOMELESSNESS AS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE SOLVED AND DEALT WITH BUT -- IN WAYS THAT REALLY AREN'T HELPING THINGS -- THINGS IN THE WAY WE HAVE SEEP THEM THROUGH THE MAPS WE HAVE COLLECTED.

>> AND THAT MESSAGE OF SEEING PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE IS A MESSAGE THAT'S ALREADY TAKING HOLD WITH HIS STUDENT RESEARCHERS.

LIKE EVAN AND MICHAEL.

>> IT IS JUST A HUMBLING EXPERIENCE GETTING OUT TO GO BACK IN TO THE COMMUNITY AND JUST INTERVIEW AND GIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THEIR STORY.

THEY PLAN TO KEEP COLLECTING MAPS AND HOPE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WILL USE THE LESSONS FROM THEM.

THEY HAVE MET WITH THE COUNTY'S OFFICE OF HOMELESS SOLUTIONS.

CHRISTINA KIM.

>>> ALSO THIS WEEK RESEARCHERS IDENTIFIED A GENE MARKER FOR ALZHEIMER'S.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY REPORTER THOMAS FUDGE SAID THIS MEANS THAT WE CAN BETTER PREDICT ALZHEIMER'S.

>> THE STUDY LOOKS BACK ON 15 YEARS OF BLOOD TESTS AND OBSERVATION OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OVER 65 AND RESEARCHERS SAY THAT THE RESULT IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN AN OVER ACTIVE GENE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S.

A BIO ENGINEERING PROFESSOR SAID THE FINDINGS WERE A SURPRISE.

THAT IS BECAUSE THE GENE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT PART IN BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.

>> IT'S LIKE OVER SHOOT OF THE GOOD GUY OF THE GOOD STUFF THAT SEEMS TO MARK UNFORTUNATELY DISEASE OUTCOME.

>> THE STUDY TRACKED THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S OVERTIME IN PEOPLE WHO HAD SYMPTOMS AND WITHOUT SYMPTOMS.

THE EXPRESSION OF THE OVER ACTIVE GENE THAT GOES BY PHGDH HOUSE UP AS THESE DARK CELLS, A STRONG CONTRAST TO THE SAME CELLS IN A HEALTHY BRAIN.

SO FAR THEY SAID THEY HAVE PROVEN A CORRESPOND CORRELATION.

>> WE THINK THAT AN OVER SUPPLY OF SERUM MAKE THE BRAIN TOO ACTIVE FOR TOO LONG A TIME AND THAT BECOMES TOXIC.

>> WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO ALZHEIMER'S.

THERE IS NO CURE FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND THE RESEARCHERS HAVE NOT DISCOVERED ONE.

HE SAID THERE ARE ONGOING TESTS ON MICE AND ON BRAIN SAMPLES THAT COULD LEAD TO A WAY TO TONE DOWN THE OVER ACTIVE GENE AND THE OVER PRODUCTION.

>> TO HELP THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISEASE OR EVEN REVERSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISEASE.

THOSE ARE THE TESTS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING.

>> SOME BUSINESSES SELL IT AS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT.

BASED ON WHAT HE IS LEARNING HE SAID FOR THOSE WHO MAY SUFFER ALZHEIMER'S, THOSE SUPPLEMENTS MAY BE JUST WHAT THEY DON'T NEED.

IN AN EVACUATION WE HAVE TO PUT 6,000 THROUGH THAT.

>> THE CITY DENIED THE PERMIT AND THEY THOUGHT THE PROJECT WAS BLOCKED BUT THE DEVELOPER SUED.

MORE PRESSURE ARRIVED IN THE FORM OF A LETTER FROM STATE ATTORNEY SAYING THE CITY VIOLATED STATE HOUSING LAWS WHEN DENYING THE PERMIT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOWER INCOME HOUSING.
