The relief package is signed and we have COVID updates on what's happening in our hospitals.

It's the day after Christmas, and we're back to reality with the COVID numbers, updating you on what's going on in our hospitals, and how well people listened to CDC guidance to stay home.

It's the Christmas Eve episode. No show tomorrow, and for tonight — for this one night — let's take our minds off the virus, the stay-home order, the hospitals. Let's just enjoy Christmas. In addition to music, we have three readings — A Visit from St. Nicholas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Gift of the Magi. I hope it brings you peace and joy this Christmas eve.

We start the show with a case of the hiccups, which is entirely appropriate for today, since it's all about Christmas songs we love to hate. And catching you up with COVID numbers.

I was very much hoping that I get to spend my birthday with you but cars and circumstances will not allow.

Starting off with COVID numbers, we're brining you holiday music that doesn't suck, along with details about the recently approved stimulus package as well as info from the Governor's Office about hospitals and vaccines.

We're wrapping up a very tough week and entering into what will likely be an even tougher week. Even though we can't get together for Christmas, we can begin the celbration here, so we're launching our holiday music playlists — all the good with none of the suck that's usually part of holiday songs. And 100% LDB free!

Our ICU availability continues to fall and we're hitting new highs for COVID cases. But another ray of hope is on the horizon.

Tonight the full region goes under the stay-home order, and our ICU beds dwindle across the state. But one more vaccine is on the cusp of approval. This is the dark before the dawn.

The Bay Area Region is now officially below 15% vacancy in our ICUs and we are about to hit scary times in our hospitals (some hospitals are already scary). We have our COVID numbers, our hospital numbers, and options for Xmas dinner that will keep you inside and safe.
