A Major Development tonight in the fight against covid19 is sparking both anticipation and concern. The cdc has now issued guidelines asking all 50 states and several large u. S. Cities to be ready to distribute a vaccine, possibly by late october or early november. Abc 7 news anchor liz kreutz has the details. Reporter the directive from cdc telling states to prepare for a possible release of a covid19 vaccine seems to confirm hints dropped by Administration Officials for weeks. Most recently, dr. Anthony fauci tried to calm concerns over a vaccine being released early before its completed clinical trials, saying an Early Release would need to be backed up by overwhelming data. You dont want a vaccine to be available widely to the American Public unless its been shown to be safe and effective. Reporter an Early Release would deordered through an emergency use authorization, the same emergency power the administration has used for drugs like hydroxychloroquine and most recently convalescent blood plasma, but many Infectious Disease experts have raised red flags about potential problems with that strategy. I think were all worried about that. Reporter dr. Maldonado is involved in a number of drug trials. She says confirming safety and effectiveness is key to winning the Publics Trust and ensuring widespread distribution. We have to be extremely careful about why and how the data are interpreted to do that. Reporter but public anticipation has been building, driven in part by statement ain before or around election day. The cdc plan describes two vaccines, a and b, which seem to match drugs from pfizer and moderna that are in latestage trials. It isnt clear yet if either could clear phase iii trials in that timeframe, but according to cdc, the initial recipients of any vaccine would be Health Care Workers and highrisk groups.

Thenoew 300 supplemental unemployment benefit will begin on september 10th. Theres been some confusion whether a San Francisco institution is permanently closy. Tommys joint was vandalized last week and the buzz on social media suggests it maybe added to the list of the citys 1,300 restaurants that have closed permanently. But the owner of tommys joint says theyre not giving up and neither are their fans. There is nothing on this treat that is kind of old San Francisco style, so it would be a shame if they were shut down, but i think thats kind of the new trend. Meanwhile, a new study published by eater sf found that sales across the city in restaurants have plunged 91 since march. More than half the restaurants are reporting no sales at all. That means roughly 1,300 have primarily closed or are gone for good. A beloved east bay christmas light display has been cancelled, of course, because of the pandemic. The dazzling display at the livermore home of deacon dave has been going on for more than 35 years. He wrote online that crowd control was the main reason for his decision.

Some beaches on the peninsula will be closed this labor day weekend. The city of pacifica decided to shut down its beaches to keep crowds away during the pandemic. In Half Moon Bay, the mayor says the mental strain of the pandemic played a role in the decision to keep beaches open there. Mental health is very big. You know, being outside, being able to run, being able to smell the ocean air, being out with nature, its it revives your soul. Ultimately, the Half Moon Bay city Council Voted unanimously to keep beaches open over labor day weekend. Santa cruz beaches will be closed except for a few hours over the Holiday Weekend. Parts of the beach boardwalk will be open. Stores and some too stands reopened today, rides and the arcade remain closed. A drivein movie scheduled in the parking lot for friday and saturday is still on. The beach boardwalk says money from ticket sales will be donated to local wildfire relief efforts. All right.
