THIS IS BEEN THE CASE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

WHAT WE KNOW IS THE SAN DIEGO HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS INVESTIGATING A POTENTIAL OUTBREAK OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF SORE THROATS , COUGH, AND BODY ACHES.

WE KNOW THE MOST OF THEM HAVE TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID.

WE ALSO KNOW OVER THE PAST WEEKEND THE PATRICK HENRY HOMECOMING DAY AND DANCE WAS HELD, WHICH COULD FACTOR INTO THIS INVESTIGATION.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON WE TALKED TO A SAN DIEGO UNIFIED DISTRICT DR. >> IT IS NOT COVID.

WHY HAVE SO MANY INDIVIDUALS HAVE ONE PARTY AND ONE GAME BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS.

>> WHY IS THAT?

>> I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THE COUNTY IS INTERESTED AND IS INVESTIGATING.

THEY MAY START TO TAKE SAMPLES FROM 10 OR 15 INDIVIDUALS WHO SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN IT FROM THIS SOURCE AND LOOK TO SEE WHETHER IT IS THE FLU.>> IF IT IS THE FLU THERE ARE PLENTY OF CASES ALREADY HERE IN THE COUNTY SINCE JULY 3.

WE KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN 1082 CASES REPORTED, AND IN THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR THERE WERE ONLY 200 CASES.

THAT IS AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN 400%.

CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AND THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

>> THAT IS QUITE AN INCREASE.

IT CAN BE HARD TO LOOK AFTER SICK KIDS, BUT WHAT CAN THEY DO TO PREVENT GETTING SO SICK?

>> THESE SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY FAMILIAR TO US ALL.

WASH YOUR HANDS.

IF YOU DO FEEL SYMPTOMATIC STAY HOME.

THE BIGGEST SUGGESTION IS WHEN IN A CROWD OF PEOPLE WEAR A MASK.

>> GREAT ADVICE.

THANK YOU.

>>> HEALTH OFFICIALS PUSH FOR AMERICANS TO GET UPDATED VACCINES.

SOON THAT WILL EXTEND TO YOUNGER KIDS.

THEY GIVE EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION FOR KIDS AS YOUNG AS FIVE.

IT BECAME AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE 12 AND OLDER LAST MONTH.

THAT TARGET THE ORIGINAL CORONAVIRUS STRAIN AND THE SUB VARIANTS.

ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE OLDEST AMERICANS.

THE COUNTY'S REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON HOMELESSNESS SAYS THE NEWEST PLAN RELEASED WEDNESDAY CAN DO JUST THAT.

THEY ARE CALLING IT THE PLAN OF PLANS.

SAYING IT COMBINES THE BEST OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PRACTICES AND STRATEGIES TO END HOMELESSNESS ONCE AND FOR ALL IN THE SAN DIEGO REGION IN FIVE YEARS.

>> DUE TO THE SCALE AND SCOPE THAT IS NEEDED TO REALLY ADDRESS THESE ISSUES.

OUR TRANSITION AGE YOUTH POPULATION.

>> THAT IS THE CEO OF THE REGIONAL TASK FORCE ON HOMELESSNESS.

SHE SAYS FINDING HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS NOW WON'T END THE PROBLEM FOREVER, SO IT IS CRITICAL TO CREATE A SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE DO NOT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OR LINGER THERE FOR MONTHS AND YEARS.

>> WE ARE REALLY SAYING IT IS NOT THAT ANYONE IS NEVER GOING TO EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS, BUT WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS TO REACH OUT FOR ASSISTANCE SO WE HAVE A RAPID RESPONSE TO GIVE THEM QUICKLY.

NO MORE THAN 30 DAYS.

SPENT THERE ABOUT 4000 SHELTER BEDS IN THE COUNTY, BUT THE NEED FOR ABOUT 900 TO 1200 MORE BEDS.

THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE RAPID HOUSING COULD THEY GIVE THEM A NUMBER OF MINUTES IN BEDS THAT SHOULD BE STRIVING FOR.

>> THEY CAN COME TOGETHER COLLECTIVELY.

WE WANT TO HELP THEM FUND RAISE AND BRING RESOURCES TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND REALLY HELP THEM ORGANIZE THEIR EFFORTS AND SUPPORT WHATEVER IS NEEDED TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN EACH REGION.

>> IN THE PAST NOT ALL HAVE AGREED WITH THE STRATEGIES.

OFFICIALS SAY THEIR CITY IS ESSENTIALLY BEING USED AS A DUMPING GROUND FOR THE HOMELESS THROUGH A HOTEL VOUCHER PROGRAM.

THEY OFFER SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO ALL JURISDICTIONS, BUT EVERYONE HAS TO COME TOGETHER TWO OF THE MOST VULNERABLE.

>> IT IS CHALLENGING, BUT ALSO IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE.

WE HAVE FAR TOO MANY SAN DIEGO'S WHO CANNOT AFFORD HOUSING OR HAVE BEEN THROUGH A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE THAT REALLY NEEDS US TO SET ASIDE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF JUDGMENT AND COME TOGETHER WITH SOLUTIONS.

THAT IS WHAT THIS GIVES US.

THOSE ACTIONS WILL BE REVIEWED DURING THE INVESTIGATION.

NO ONE HAS BEEN FIRED, BUT A NAVY INVESTIGATION INTO HIS DEATH HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A NUMBER OF CHANGES IN HOW SAILORS ARE MONITORED DURING THE EXHAUSTING TEST.

IT HAS PROMPTED THEM TO EXPAND TESTING FOR PREEMINENCE IN FENCING DRUGS.

INVESTIGATION WAS IN THE LINE OF DUTY NOT TO HIS OWN MISCONDUCT TO BE DEATH SHINED A LIGHT ON THE BRUTAL WEEK THAT PUSHES CANDIDATES TO THEIR LIMITS.

IT INVOLVES BASIC UNDERWATER DEMOLITION, SURVIVAL, AND OTHER COMBAT TACTICS.

THE SAILORS GET A PAIR OF 2 HOUR SLEEP PERIODS.

IT DOES PSYCHOLOGICAL STRAIN ALONG WITH LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND IS SO GRUELING AT LEAST 50- 60% DO NOT FINISH.

THEY SAY THE DEVIL WILL NOT BE IN VAIN AND THEY HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO LEARN EVERYTHING THEY CAN FROM HIS DEATH SO THEY CAN ENSURE SAFETY FOR ALL FUTURE CANDIDATES.

THE REPORT INCLUDES A NUMBER OF INTERVIEWS WITH THEIR CLASSMATES WHO DESCRIBED HIS DETERIORATING HEALTH IN HIS LAST DAYS OF THE TEST.

REPORTING THEY'RE OFTEN WEARY OF GOING TO THE HOSPITAL ARE SEEKING OUTSIDE MEDICAL HELP BECAUSE IT COULD GET THEM DISQUALIFIED FROM THE CLASS.

>> THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE ALONG THE BORDER WHERE PEOPLE FROM EITHER SIDE CAN SEE EACH OTHER WITHOUT ACTUALLY CROSSING THE BORDER.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY SOME OF THEM CAN SEE EACH OTHER IN PERSON.
