Now its just a matter of getting parents to sign on. I think many parents are afraid to bring their child back to child care facilities until the shelterinplace order is lifted. Also, many parents moved out of the city for this period of time. Child care centers have been able to remain open for families of essential workers or children in vulnerable groups. This new government web portal lists all available centers. As more parents go back to work, at seabird, they said its not their responsibility to check a parents work status. We have availabilities. We would like our existing students to come back as soon as possible, as well as we open to the new students. So seabird told me they actually need about a dozen students to open this friday. So theyre waiting to see if any parents are signing on. That just tells you that different providers have very specific circumstances to deal with before they can open, despite directives that they are allowed to open. Am marks dan . Chris, so if youre a parent that can now go back to work, what can you do . If the first thing to do is to go to my child care. Ca. Gov. I have to tell you, i did that today. I called about a dozen different day care providers. Some answered. Some didnt. So youre really going to have to do the legwork because different providers, as i said, are dealing with different circumstances. Live in San Francisco, im kris reyes for abc7 news. Okay, kris, thanks. State level shelter in place rules will relax on friday as we enter stage 2. Its not clear if county restrictions will lift as well. Abc7 news anchor liz kreutz joins us now live with the latest updates on the governors plan to reopen. Liz . Ama, thats right. Its unclear how the bay area is going to decide to implement phase 2. We have heard from some people who are eager to see it happen and others who say its still too soon. What we do know is when we can reopen businesses are ready. As california prepares to open phase two later this week, questions still about whether bay area counties will choose to be part of it. On midday live today, San Francisco mayor london breed said friday might be too soon for businesses to reopen. It doesnt mean that we cant provide permission. Again, this is going to come from our county health officer. So were not going to just make this decision unless it is okay to make the decision. Even if the bay area doesnt begin phase 2 this week, work is under way across the state to help businesses get ready for when they can reopen. Governor newsom visited a small gift shop in sacramento today that is planning to begin Curbside Pickup on friday. This business display california is sort of a personification of the businesses all throughout the state and across the rest of the United States that are struggling to make ends meet, to hold things together. Later, newsom held this round table with manufacturing workers and Small Business owners. Included on the call, pamela kahn, president of a Manufacturing Company based in pittsburg. She said keeping social distance can be a challenge with heavy machinery. What advice do you have in terms of what we can do to be helpful o yous we roll out guidelines and we really try to navigate the next month or two as we hopefully move into a new phase still . I think first would be to have really clear guidelines. When there is county guidelines coming out, there is state guidelines comie ing out, its tough. As california begins a gradual reopening, it is with caution. Despite pressure and protests, some say it is still too soon. A university of maryland poll says the majority of americans currently feel uncomfortable shopping at a retail store or sitting down at a restaurant. California is not yet at this point, but it reveals another hurdle Major Business also face when they reopen. People are really concerned and scared. There is a lot of people scared to actually come back to work. And Governor Newsom also gave some other good news for Small Businesses. That is in this next round of ppe, california should get roughly three times as many loans as they did in the first rounds. Thats good news. Liz kreutz, abc7 news. Certainly. Liz, did the governor give any more specifics on phase 2 what business also be able to reopen . A lot of people are wondering about hair sal long, gyms . As we know, those are considered more high risk. We got a little more clarity. Malls are not going to be allowed to reopen yet. No Stores Within a mall can reopen, even for Curbside Pickup. And even though he is allowing for counties to move through phase 2 at their own pace, he was unequivocal. Hair salon, gyms, hair salons, those are not going be allowed to reopen until we get to phase 3. And for counties that are allowing those stores to reopen, he was pretty blunt. Those people are putting all of us and all the progress weve done at risk. Ama . Governor newsom announced his approval to open three more beaches in orange county. The beaches are dana point, Huntington Beach and seal beach. Walking, running, hiking, surfing, swimming and bike riding are all okay with social distancing. Loittering and sunbathing, though, prohibited. Orange county became a focal point last week after crowds flocked to beaches to escape the first heatwave of the year. All right. It is Cinco De Mayo and taco tuesday, but celebrations look a lot different this year. Abc7 News Reporter chris nguyen explains how local mexican restaurants are adapting. On this Cinco De Mayo, life is different in so many way. In the battle of puebla what it taught us more than anything is having perseverance against those insurmountable odds. Under normal circumstances today would be the busiest day of the year at luna kitchen in campbell. But with the coronavirus crisis, restaurants are adapting to takeout and delivery. Showing that resilience. I think were all going through our own battle right now. Any business or person even, their own personal battle. Gone for now are the festivities that go along with the inperson dining experience. But in san jose, zazil at santana row is getting creative by partnering with a band to live stream a concert through zoom and facebook to accompany tonights orders. We want to make sure we continue to serve as we once knew it. What the future holds is going to be a little different. Were trying to combine virtual with reality. And i think thats where were headed. On the east side of the city, bravo house of enchiladas expects to see a boost in business heading into dinner. The restaurant is known for its magical micelabas, with shrimp and veggies on top. We started getting calls just to see how were doing. See if were still going the stay in business, and asking what they can do to help us. So we are really appreciative. And regardless how customers are celebrating, these restaurants say theyre just glad to be a part of it how ever they can. We try to have a heart of gratitude and do what we can eery day, wake up every morning and do the best we can. Hopefully we get better every day.

George rutherford, one of the leaders of Contact Tracing in San Francisco. His answer took her breath away. Two years. Its going to take a long time to vaccinate 40 Million People in california. If you do if you set up sites where you can do 50,000 vaccinations a day, youre going to need 800 of those to happen, okay. So its a formidable task, and its going to take months to get done it done.

Search abc7 bay area and download it for fre there is widespread belief that the coronavirus came from animal, and it wouldnt be the first disease to make that jump. But a uc expert at davis says dont blame the animals. Meet the virus hunters, International Teams of researchers traveling the world connecting the dots between viruses that move from animals to people. Its no surprise that covid19 came from a wild animal. We suspect based on the genetic evidence that it came from a bat species. Christine johnson with Uc Davis One Health institute is one of californias top disease detectives, looking for clues about what might trigger the next pandemic and how to stop it. We think actually most Infectious Diseases came from animals over a century. So domestication of animals brought about a lot of the major human diseases, things that we dent even recognize as having come from animals like hiv. Even measles and mumps are suspected, like genetically, evolutionarily to have come from animals. Even so, Domestic Animals are not the biggest concern right now. The more worrisome trend is emerging Infectious Diseases that have emerged in the last 20 to 30 years have almost entirely come from wildlife. These are viruses weve heard of. For example, ebola virus. So should we blame wild animals for the new diseases . No, we should not blame the animals. The animals are sort of victims in this as well. Johnsons newly released research looked at 142 viruses believed to have jumped from animals to people and points to human activities as the driving force. Those same activities that cause species to go extinct are the same activities that are causing increased Public Health risk. Johnson says biodiversity helps regulate disease. But as people change the environment, we end up with either too many or too few of certain species, and that ups the risk of another pandemic. Habitat destruction is a critical part of the puzzle. Some wild species adapt and move into human communities, bringing their mutating disease was them to infect people. Other wild animals are forced into human contact. These are species that had been hunted or overhunted. Theyre in the wildlife trade, are typically brought out of the wild alive. Theyre put into cages with others in very dense sort of crowded conditions. And that fosters disease transmission. There is widespread scientific agreement that is the most likely source of covid19 and is leading a growing call to shut down wildlife markets. But johnson says we need to Pay Attention to entire environment as well. If we start to recognize that and think more carefully about habitat change and how thats affecting wildlife, we can start to reduce disease spillover of viruses and animals into humans and minimize pandemics. Fascinating work theyre doing and important. The studys authors say their latest findings are an important remind theyre when it comes to preventing disease, yes a Global Community that needs to work together. The deadly microbes do not respect national boundary, obviously. Great point. Well, were learning new details about another lawsuit against carnival and Princess Cruise Lines over coronavirus. This is a wrongful death lawsuit filed by San Franciscobased lawyer Mary Alexander on behalf of the family of a pennsylvania man. He was on the grand princess voyage from San Francisco to hawaii in february. On the ships previous voyage to mexico, some passengers had complained of coronavirus symptoms. The lawsuit claims princess knew this and still let people from that trip continue on to the next, exposing the new passengers. The right thing to do would have been to cancel the cruise. Give everybody back their money, that there is nothing more important than the safety and the lives of people. Instead, princess put profit before people. More than 100 passengers on the grand princess tested positive for the virus. [ closing bell ] optimism about reopening the economy helped stocks rise today.

As part of its efforts to get its most vulnerable residents off the street during the coronavirus pandemic, the city of oakland unveiled Operation Home base. Its an rv trailer community right next to the oakland coliseum. Abc7 News Reporter Laura Anthony has the story. A new neighborhood has emerged in the shadow of the oakland coliseum, one designed to provide shelter to the citys older or medically vulnerable homeless population. A safer place to live amid a pandemic. These are our unhoused residents from east oakland. Oakland mayor libby schaaf unveiled Operation Home base on a once vacant lot now teeming with 67 new rvs provided by the state office of emergency services. Operation home base will be giving safe respite to around 130 of our unhoused residents who are particularly vulnerable to covid19. While we bend the curve at an aggregate level, we have to stay focused on the details and the specific demographics of our residents. And that means our most vulnerable. Each trailer house two people who already share a household. And each comes equipped with bedding, household supplies, and all utilities. Engineered for water, electric and power. We have about 4500 lineal feet of trenching in order to accommodate the sewer. The first residents will begin moving into these trailers tomorrow. There will be plenty of precautions for the coronavirus, including regular testing. With this new community, though, comes the realization that for all those invited to live here, there are hundreds more still on the streets trying to stay safe during a pandemic.

Low clouds and fog are building along the coastline, and its breezy out there right now. Weve got wind speeds of 15 to about 25 Miles Per Hour generally across the bay area. And its a bit cooler now than it was at this hour yesterday. And thats mainly because that cooling breeze along the coastline is bringing the marine layer, or a little bit of it back. Were 4 to 7 or 8 degrees cooler right now in most spots than at this time yesterday. Currently in San Francisco, it is 62 degrees. Oakland 67. 69 redwood city. 70 in san jose. Gilroy, 73. And 58 at pacifica. On we go with a look at northern north bay readings up in santa rosa. 71 degrees. 68 in napa. Look at eastward just a bit, 73 in concord. And 69 in livermore. And these are our forecast features. Coastal fog tonight will be gone by early morning, giving way to sunny skies. A summerlike heat will be with us. Thursday and friday especially in our inland areas. We can expect cooler weather for mothers day weekend. And the reason its heating up is that big ridge of High Pressure been showing you the last couple of days centered to our south. It is the dominant feature in our weather, and will be for the next few day, bringing us sunny and warm the hot weather. It will be especially hot a little bit east of the bay area over in the central valley. Right now we see the shaky emeryville camera in the strong breeze there looking back towards sutro tower. This is a look at temperature readings were projecting for friday. High temperatures and a comparison with the average. Concord with a high of 93 will be 19 Degrees Higher than the average. San jose 17 degrees warmer. Napa 16 degrees warmer. All across the bay area, were going to have temperatures well above average on saturday.

And tomorrows highs will range from upper 60s at the coast to mainly upper 70s near the bay to mid and upper 80s inland. Then on thursday, it gets even warmer. Friday will be the peak of the warming with high temperatures inland. Approaching the 98degree mark in some spots. Then we start a cooling trend on saturday, which leads us into mothers day. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. After a couple of summerlike days on thursday and friday we get quite a bit of cooling on saturday. Sunday is looking lovely. Sunny skies, a couple of clouds here and there. Highs 60 at the coast to mid70s around the bay to low 80s inland. And then early next week, a slight, slight chance of some light rain coming our way. But lets enjoy mothers day first. Absolutely. Thanks, spencer, very much. It was a horrible feeling. Broken into from San Francisco to the east bay. Tonight a warning.

So abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. And until this fight is over, we. Will. Never. Quit. Because they never quit. Now your health, your safety. This is abc7 news. Do you believe thats the reality were facing, that lives will be lost to reopen the country . Its possible there will be some. President trump talking about one of the most difficult decisions facing the United States and him during the coronavirus pandemic. The president made his first major trip since the outbreak hit the United States, visiting a plant that makes protective equipment in arizona. And this is how the president responded to a question from abc7 world news tonight anchor david muir about the possibility of people dying as the company reopens and states ease restrictions. Its possible there will be some because you wont be locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is. But at the same time were going to practice social distancing. Were going to be washing hands. Were going to be doing a lot of the things weve learned to do over the last period of time. And we have to get our country back. While in phoenix, the president took part in a round table discussion. He talked about the economy and a turnaround, but not before reflecting on the physical toll the virus has taken. For those people that have lost somebody, for the people that have lost a loved one, even a close friend, you know, nothing can ever happen thats going replace that. You know, i dont care what kind of a year you have from an economic standpoint. Nobody is ever going to replace that. The president also plans on phasing out the Coronavirus Task force and shifting toward reopening the country. We have told you about the millions of Americans Still waiting for stimulus payments. Maybe you are. For some families, there is a different issue to talk about here tonight. The government is sending stimulus checks to possibly millions of dead people. Their families dont know what to do with those checks. So they came to 7 on your sides Michael Finney to get some answer. Michael, what an interesting dilemma. Yeah, can you imagine . Its a real shock for grieving families to receive these checks after someone has passed. A loved one has passed. And its all because of a weird quirk in the c. A. R. E. S. Act. I told you earlier about robert lynch of San Francisco. He lost his wife jacqueline to brain cancer two years ago, and now an eerie reminder. Its one of those things that you dont expect to come out of nowhere. To his shock, robert discovered a stimulus check in jacquelines name deposited in his bank account, and he isnt alone. Terry in the east bay writes my father died april 3rd, and yep, wednesday, his stimulus check for 1200 was right in his account. Darryl in the south bay writes my mom passed away a little over a year ago. Today i get a 1200 check made out to her. I say almost all the people that passed in 2019 will be receiving a check. Cpa jim mchale says the irs is sending out stimulus payments to untold numbers of dead people across the country. Im guessing its probably in the millions. Why is this happening . Well, under the c. A. R. E. S. Act, americans receive a check based solely on their tax return for 2018 or 2019. So if a person died after filing a return of those years, chances are theyre getting a check. Under the letter of the law, if you file the tax return in 2018 or 2019, the law says youre entitled to this payment. They draft these laws so quickly, they didnt include. But if you die during the interim, youre not entitled to a payment. Mchale says the irs computer is so outdated it couldnt filter out taxpayers who have not. Theyre still using black screens with green letters. So this is theyre not up to date. Previously an. Spokesperson told 7 on your side the agency had no rules on what loved ones should do with the extra payment. However, treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin recently told the wall street journal that families must return the money. Final word on this is not out. We believe based on moonuchins comments they expect to get the money back. And a general irs agent warns the irs could charge interest on mistake the irs makes to you. Its always better to nip it in the bud and not have a problem with the irs. But returning a payment can be a hassle. According to the irs, overpayments should be mailed back or reimbursed at the bank. Then consumers should call the irs to say why it was sent back. Try doing that when offices are closed. Id recommend sending the money back, especially if you want to return it, to help out everyone during this time of crisis. If you want to return a deceased persons check, ive got a bunch of information on our website, abc7news. Com. But i have to tell you, many experts, cpas are say g on the check until they have exact instructions from the irs. When those come out, i will of course report back. Thank you so much, michael. With stimulus checks and unemployment checks in the mail, the post office, along with some bay area landlords are warning residents about an increase in mail theft. Abc7 News Reporter Melanie Woodrow is on the story. Porch pirates wearing n95 masks grabbed this package in oakland just 20 minutes after it was delivered. Two days prior, overnight also in oakland, a woman broke into this Apartment Building near lake merritt and grabbed armfuls of mail from a 66unit complex. She left with all that mail in a basket. At this time there are many things of an attractive nature moving to the mail system. U. S. Postal inspector jeff fitch. Stimulus checks, the unemployment checks, tax refunds, or your medication. East Bay Management company bay apartment adviser says this theft was one of five their properties experienced between april 27th and may 4th. Mailbox breakins for more than 200 units and approximately 300 residents. Elise kay gets it. It definitely triggered a whole bunch of emotions that nobody really need right now in this time. The mailbox is outside kays Apartment Building were broken into a couple of weeks ago. See how its taped right now . That was pried open. Kay was expecting a stimulus check, unemployment benefits, and past payments from clients. Then i had to question have i received them . Were they actually in that days mail . As well as what else did they get from me that maybe i didnt know whats coming. For now the buildings mail is being dropped in this slot. A neighbor found much of the discarded mail dumped at fort mason. My gut tells me thats why they were opening up anything that looked like it was from the government. Kay reported to it the United States postal Inspection Service. These are federal offenses, potential penalty up to five years in federal prison. Up to 250,000 fine. A spokesperson with bay apartment adviser says they also reported the theft from their properties. But the oakland woman who shared this video said initially she didnt because it was only a shower curtain stolen. Fitch encourages people to make the report no matter what is taken. Theyre probably not just hitting that one house or apartment or condominium. Theyre hitting others, attacking their neighbors as well. Reporting makes all the difference. You file a report on the uspis website. There youll also find a 24hour hotline. The u. S. Postal Inspection Service also suggests filing a report with local law enforcement.

Last week lyft pulled its scooters from oakland. Uber and lyft are being sued accused of not following the state law requiring them to classify drivers as employees. Tony cabrera from our sister station in los angeles explains the situation. California attorney general Xavier Becerra joined city attorneys from los angeles, san diego and San Francisco today to announce they are suing uber and lyft for not playing by the rules laid out in ab5. A new labor law forcing companies to reclassify certain independent contractors. Uber and lyft gained an unfair and unlawful competitive advantage by inappropriately classifying massive numbers of california drivers as independent contractors. Instead, they believe drivers should be classified as employees who would be entitled to workplace protections like unemployment insurance, disability, and workers comp. In this crisis, there is no question that the drivers for uber and lyft are exposing themselves to great risk as they transport First Responders and essential workers and family members to Grocery Stores or get medicine. Lyft released a statement saying we are looking forward to working with the attorney general and mayors across the state to bring all the benefits of californias innovation economy to as many workers as possible, especially during this time when the creation of good jobs with access to Affordable Health care and other benefits is more important than ever. An uber spokesperson said at a time when californias economy is in crisis with four Million People out of work, we need to make it easier, not harder for people to quickly start earning. We will contest this action in court while at the same time pushing to raise the standard of independent work for drivers in california, including with guaranteed minimum earnings and new benefits. Some drivers believe ab 5 does more harm than good, saying it was really only meant to beef up labor organizations. Definitely saw this coming. They drained the state Unemployment Fund to place the burden on uber and lyft to refill it. As for the lawsuit, it was filed in the bay area and will proceed from there. Its now in the hands of the court to set a time frame. Tony cabrera, abc7 news news. Circumstances there a single cheeseburger available . Yep. Yes, you can get a single, but not a double, or heaven forbid a triple. Wayne freedman with more on the happening today, its takeout tuesday, a chance to support local restaurants. The executive chef at canela in San Franciscos Castro District shared with us how theyre trying to survive without dinein. Matt schuster says in addition to takeout, canela created an estore and is offering kits, baskets, and is selling housewares. He says the restaurants financial strug legal continue after it opens. In San Francisco in a small restaurant setting, 25 diners is not something that were able to survive with. So were trying to figure out how we maintain other sources of revenue even after were able to open back up. Schuster says the thing theyre most concerned about when they reopen is how theyre going to be distancing and serving food in a safe way. Of all the impacts from covid19, no more cheeseburgers . Believe it. The wendys fast food chain, which made its name with big patties has had to cut back. More now from wayne freedman. If the ageless and iconic wendy could talk, she would not want to be answering this question. Wheres the beef . How you doing . At one in every five wendys, beef is in limited supply. Is there a single patty available . After covid19 struck Meat Processing workers across the nation, beef and pork production are down by 25 , and theyre feeling that impact at a wendys in petaluma. Do not order a double or a triple. Every sandwich that comes with two meats is only one meet meth right now. How come . There is a beef shortage right now. I dont understand why theyre out of beef. Theyre currently facing production challenges, said wendys in a statement this morning. Quote, some of our menu items may be temporarily limited at some restaurants. The fast food chain is working hard to minimize impacts to sometimes skeptical customer. You know what . I think its a hoax that they can double the price of the beef. Big, threw is a flip side to this burger and beef crisis in. In santa rosa, Sonoma County beef reports meat prices rose so high. I havent had time to look that numbers. They buy and sell local, which seems to matter a lot right now. People like knowing where their meat comes from. Theyre looking for a consistent, high quality meat source. Weve been slammed.
