Dr. Anthony fauci is playing down a call for nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of covid19. Dr. Fauci appeared on Good Morning America a day of dr. Michael osterholm an advisor to biden shut down the floating of shutting down businesses four to six weeks and paying americans to stay home. Dr. Fauci doesnt think a step is necessary. There is no appetite for locking down on the American Public but i believe we can do it without a lockdown. I really do. Help is really on the way. Vaccines are going to have a major positive impact. Fauci believes vaccines will start to be distributed in december and become widely available in the spring and early summer. He once again stressed the importance of wearing a mask, distancing and continuing to do activities outdoors even as we head into winter. A new Study Compares various state and federal responses to the pandemic and concludes an early nationwide mask mandate would have been the number one saver of lives. The study by economics and statistics experts was done by a Santa Clara University professor and others. They found had a federal mask mandate went into effect in mid march and mid april, between 90,000 and 180 dea,000 deaths c have been prevented. That time period of march and april is providing Scientific Evidence that could solve a completely Different Health problem, air pollution. One of the proposed solutions is electric cars. Its the environmental trade off we make every day. The bay areas popular commuter corridors are also air pollution allies but a study is pointing out the power of a clean solution. Yes, so weve been thinking about this as a model for the electric car. Reporter he and his team spent a decade building a network of co 2 sensors scattered they can measure Carbon Dioxide and other pollutants and that a historic opportunity as the bay area began the covid19 shelter in place. We saw this incredible change that occurred the amount of co 2 released to the atmosphere in the bay area was 25 lower in that period than just before the lockdown six weeks before. Reporter he says the purple peaks represent the daily spikes during the sixweek run up while the green areas show the drop during the shelter in place but he believes the rubber really meets the road in another set of images. They show what the drop looked like along major bay area freeways with the lighter concentration of purple mirroring the positive effect that electric vehicles could have on those same corridors. The thing about electric cars is its especially easy to think about. Electric cars are at a power plant far away. They have no combustion related emissions on the road so electric car on the road is the same as no car on the road. He believes the Monitoring System is powerful because it can zero in on freeways but adjacent neighborhoods providing one more argument for the environmental benefit electric cars could provide to the bay area. Professor cohen and his team have begun a similar sensor system in scotland. The goal is to have it operational in time for the United Nations Climate Change conference that happens in 2021.

San jose homeless residents that sign up will receive 4 for each bag of trash collected and can make up to 20 a day. Funding is coming from the city budget this year and valley water has committed 60,000 each year for the next three years. My intent as long as im in office to keep it going. It will be a high priority for me to fund it. People participating in the program will receive their money on a reloadble card for mastercard. There are restrictions on what you can buy with that card. Unfortunately, trash is a site weve all been seeing far too often lately. Its so unsightly. But an east bay man decided to make it his mission to combat the litter in habitats. Melissa has the story of how hes working to build a better bay area. There are four main sources of trash, litter and smoking related things, dumping, homeless camp sites and car crashes. Untrash east bay is a volunteer group. We meet once a week. We have 350 members. 20 to 25 people show up at any one of our cleanups. So our mission is to clean wild land areas and to build community and ultimately, to stop the flow of new trash from flowing into the environment. In recent years, i think all of us noticed how bad the trash is getting, and at some point, i just decided something had to be done. Since the beginning of the year, we removed 1250 bags of trash, appliances and mattresses and so on. This is aquatic park. We have six projects now and this is the second major one. The first was grizzly peak where we took out 450 bags of trash over those eight months and put in place a whole series of different interventions that reduce the amount of new trash coming into that environment dramatically. This is how we care for these lands. I see it as our responsibility and burden to reduce our impact on the earth. Were not doing the things that we need to do to take care of it. You know, one of the things thats fantastic about this project is its the perfect thing to do during these high stress times. Were out in a beautiful area, were making a difference. Its really satisfying work and its socially distant. I think thats what brings people out week after week. Just a very tremendous thing to do if you want to make a difference in the community.

Dan, what if i told you if you did one thing, just one thing then you would be way safer when shopping online . Would you do it . Ive been introducing you to a great many Identity Theft victims, like san jose resident tonya who was caught up in an edd scam. It said action needed on your Unemployment Insurance claim. She hadnt made a claim. Tunisia kelly watched identity thieves drain her edd account. First text message came in like your balance is now 50.

The fbi is tracking an increasing online criminal presence. He works out of the San Francisco fbi was a. He saw it happen back when the pandemic lockdown began. They know that people are online more now looking for shopping and so they will look to insert themselves on those vulnerabilities and have looked to commit fraud and make a profit. So, can you protect yourself . Yes. If you do this one thing. Dont reuse passwords. I know its so easy and tempting to reuse them. The problem is if we get another hack like weve seen at target or home depot or marriott or places like that, you may not care that much about your log in info for any of those sites but if thats the same one that youre using for your bank account, lets say, then that becomes a bigger problem. Ted is with bankrate. Com. He has a lot of good advice. If youre an overachiever, you can also use a password manager. Check your Credit Report frequently, freeze your Credit Report, read your financial statements. Almost all of us are taking risks data. I say this not to scare people but we can do better. If you do big stuff well, it covers up smaller sins. Ted there totally nails it. Few of us do everything. So we end up doing nothing. Were just so overwhelmed. Ama, dont do it. Do a couple of easy things. Read your statements, dont reuse passwords. Thats such a hard one but great advice. Great advice. Thanks, michael. All right.

We have the power to harness abundant wind and solar energy, but its not available all day long. Use less from 4 to 9 pm and we can protect california for generations to come. Good evening. Tiger woods looked like the tiger of old today instead of old tiger with the bad back and around one of the masters pushed back to november because of pandemic. Rainy day at Augusta National but most got a round in before play was suspended including the champion. Woods with a bogey three round and par 16th. I thought this was going in actually. Rolls up to setup a tap in birdie for tiger. On to the first hole because he started on the backside. 20foot birdie putt for woods trademark. Finishes at 4 under 68 matching his lowest opening round ever at the masters. The leader after round one paul casey second shot on the second hole sticks it. Finished at seven under 65 and has a twostroke lead. Well, the last time nick mullins played in the superdome, he led Southern Miss to a new orleans bowl victory back in 2016. Competition will be a little tougher on sunday with the 49er gassing in s going in as big under dogs and fans, fans at this game. Not the usual 74,000 screaming at the top of their lungs with faces painted but about 6,000 will be allowed in to attend. Mullins is pumped up. Thats excitin. Gets us fired up. Any more energy you can get into the atmosphere feels like real football again so were pumped for that. So here we are, its thursday night and the cal Football Team does not know if they are playing Arizona State on saturday. Its two days away. Cals opener was called off because of one positive covid test and the entire defensive line was put into quarantine. The game with asu they may move it to sunday but the sun devils cancelled their practice today believed to be covid related. Who knows what is going on there at all. We know stanford is playing colorado on saturday. Theyre still not sure if quarterback davis mills will be allowed to play. He was held out of the opener after a positive covid test. They have been monitoring four covid related tests this week and waiting for the county to tell them who will be allowed to actually play. We dont have any positive tests so were, you know, were continuing on but waiting on the county to make a decision and communicate with us. Mvp awards Just Announced in baseball. Braves first baseman freddie freeman, 14 homers. First mvp since Chipper Jones in 1999 and in the american league, white sox slugger takes first jose abreu. [speaking foreign language]. I mean, how often do you see somebody so overwhelmed with emotion like that . I mean, his family is trying to get him to conduct the News Conference but he was just stunned and as you could see, so emotional there. By the way, can you imagine dan, youre coaching a Football Team youre supposed to play in two days and you dont know if youll be allowed to play . How frustrating. Wild.
