Lets take a live look at the white house where the president has been trying to manage this growing crisis here in the united states. He met with leaders of Drug Companies trying to get them to fast track a vaccine. But Health Experts tell us that could take months. Even up to a year or longer.

Our lab will are conduct tests seven days a week with a one to twoday turnaround time. Reporter before today test kits were all being sent to the cdc in atlanta and results would take a week. At 1 30 today the city council will discuss response to covid19 and the board of supervisors will discuss a proclamation of local emergency. And in monterey county, discussions of the coronavirus and how to keep the public safe. Now this virus is affecting so many businesses and schools and tourism. So there is certainly a lot to talk about at these meetings. Reporting live in San Francisco, im sharon katsuda, today in the bay. Thank you very much, sharon. Bay area transit taking action to stop the spread of coronavirus. Ac transit started deep cleaning the buses and said all of the buses will be sanitized at the end of the day. B. A. R. T. And munny say it is regularly meeting with Public Health leaders who say no operational changes need to be made just yet. And want more information about the coronavirus . Well you could head over to our website. We have a lot of information there. We have an entire section dedicated to our reporting on the virus. Just go to nbcbayarea. Com. Super tuesday has arrived and all eyes will be on californias more than 400 delegates as they work to lock in the nomination. Here is say look at what is up for grabs nationally. That is a lot. Voters in 14 states will head to the polls. Out east precincts are already open. Last night joe biden was joined in texas by rivals turned endorsers. Pete buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar ahead of todays crucial primary. This morning joe biden will make a local stop in oakland.

In contra costa county, a decision that will last 35 years if passed. Measure j is a half percent sales tax for all purchases for the next three decades to help reduce congestion, fix roads and improve transit. There is a lot you need to know before you head out to the polls. Kris sanchez is live in san jose with people already voting including for some of the president ial candidates that just dropped out. Reporter yeah, i think there was a lot of interest in this particular president ial primary, laura, because you remember that we usually vote in june when the whole thing is pretty much entirely decided by the rest of the country. Now we feel like we have a louder voice and a lot of people are putting that louder voice to use. But you might still have some questions on this election day. Were going to aim to answer some of them. You might have heard of new Voting Centers. They are new for 15 california counties including Santa Clara County and san mateo county. San mateo voters might have seen the changes in the 2018 election. Go to your county website to see where you can find a Voting Center near you. It frees you up from having to get to the one precinct before or after work and you could drop your ballot off wherever you like. Lets say you are a folks that laura was talking about who voted early for senator Amy Klobuchar or Pete Buttigieg who dropped out. Your votes will still count for them, but they likely wont matter. Here is why, the democratic requires that candidates got at least 15 of the vote toern delegates in the latest poll neither was going to do that. So if what you are not registered to vote but now inspired. You could still register vote today, election day, at your county Election Office at a vote center near you or a polling place. Youll cast a provisional ballot. It doesnt mean anything for you just that the vote counters have to t verify that. You might be wondering if it is still too late to mail in your ballot and it has to be post marked by today march 3rd and arrive at your Election Office no later than friday march 6th and you could drop it off in person as weve seen a number of folks doing here today. Maybe you are listed as a no Party Preference voter and wondering if you could still vote in the president ial primary here in california and that will depend. Democrats, libertarians and american independents have open primary and do allow unaffiliated voters to vote for the candidates in the primary. But you have to request a crossover ballot to do that. The republican party, the green and the peace party along with the Freedom Party do not allow unaffiliated voters to vote in their primary. So a lot of information. Some of it new, some just a refresher because it has been a couple of years but no matter what you do with the president ial primary there are a number of local issues on your ballot so make sure you get out and vote for your local community as well. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thanks, kris. If you run into problems or see any irregularities. We have a number call 8336225688. Our phones will be staffed between 7 00 a. M. To 8 00 p. M.

As you head out to the polls this morning, we have nice cool weather. Super tuesday, concord forecast is in the upper 50s at 9 00. From 59 to 77, another very warm day. Well have more on this and a look ahead to a slight rain chance this weekend. Mike, youre looking at a delay into San Francisco. Kari, chp just popped up a report of an issue, a crash or disabled vehicle, something in lanes westbound 80, that is your commute into the city right at the 9th street offramp. That will slow traffic down. You see it gumming up through the tunnel and it bogs down. Now it typically looks like it bogs down at the curve and it is building up the incline. So this is Perfect Timing for the metering lights to on. I saw set of flashing lights and other unit has been cleared. No major problems but again the bay bridge westbound span is backed up. Everything else is moving smoothly. Back to you. 5 11 now. Growing outrage and now response. My gut reaction was i was horrified. Next on today in the bay, what the l. A.

A look at our microclimates and warmer temperatures ahead in less than five minutes. And good news, i think i just saw the disabled vehicle clear from the bay bridge on the San Francisco side. The span looks like it is moving better. The bad news is the backup and the timing led to this at the toll plaza. Well talk more. Well good morning to you. Weve been looking at remarkable numbers for quite sometime. This morning theyre remarkably up. Well get to this in a second. Lets mention that San Franciscos salesforce is joining twitter in telling their employees not to travel at all. Even domestically. Amazon has blocked more than a million products claimed to cure coronavirus. There is no cure to coronavirus. As for the rally, it came as Central Banks indicated they might lower Interest Rates in a worldwide coordinated effort. President trump still criticized the american fed is moving too slowly. Mr. Trump is pushing for rate cuts even before the coronavirus. White house pushing for a onetime tax cut. Now the idea of using government money or deficit spending to goose the economy is not new. Certainly we saw that with the Cash Payments to farmers. It is surprisingly liberal but economists hope it could be effective. Were doing sort of an emergency version of our podcast sand hill road released this morning with the head of Silicon Valley bank also on the board of San Francisco fed to talk about how the disease may affect the economy in northern california. Look for that wherever you get your podcasts. The conference in san jose is of moving forward. Organizers say nobody traveling from china, italy or korea will be admitted. Theyll check passports. If you have been there and not in quite sometime you will be subject to additional screening. Everyone will have their temperature taken with a passive thermometers that you point at peoples foreheads. The saasr Conference Takes Place next week. Steves would nia gave everybody a scare when he tweeted he thought he and his wife had coronavirus. They were just back from northern california, as it turns out they have a sinus infection. Thank goodness. And we wish them the very best. But it shows how concerned people are. As they categorically should be. If you have a friend that said worry about this, he or she is right. People are worried about coronavirus all over the place including the nba. So amid growing concerns, nba issuing a new guideline. This is to players. That includes avoiding highfiving fans and strangers. As well as avoiding taking any items for autographs. The league sent out the memo to players with a total of ten recommendations. That is a good thing to remember. Because people even stop me and i dont want to shake hands. Or hug you. A couple of people yesterday. Have to do that elbow bump. There you go. 5 18 now. Today ellen is outlining the seven steps the World Health Organization said you need to wash your hands properly and perfect and protect yourself from the coronavirus. Even when it comes to shielding yourself against the deadly outbreak ellen still finds a way to make it funny. Interlink fingers, okay. Inter link and then here is the church and here is the steeple and all of the people trying not to get the coronavirus. That is a good way to teach kids. Wash your hands and make it fun. Tune in to see if ellen could complete all seven steps that she takes this afternoon at 4 00 here on nbc bay area. Also Justin Beiber is stopping by to answer burning questions. Have you seen that segment. If you cant be home, dont forget to set dvr. Weve been talking about washing hands. And you think sing the happy birthday song and when you do it youre like, im still thinking. Unless it is your birthday this week, maybe on thursday. Oh, tada. Vocal chords, warm up. Good weather. It is nice. Well warm up today. And were starting out in the mid40s for many of the microclimates. From concord up to santa rosa, up to 40s there and then low 50s. So still kind of all over the place because of the gusty winds that have been moving by. If youre making plans to head out to the polls today, in oakland were going to see our temperatures at about 52 degrees and then throughout the rest of the day, maybe you want to walk to the poll because it is in the upper 60s for the middle of the afternoon. But dont forget that allergy medication. We have still have a high amount of tree pollen. It is mostly pine, willow and juniper blooming right now putting all of that yellow pollen into the air that weve seen. And then our temperatures today reach 80 degrees in concord. We may be near some record highs again this week for today as well as tomorrow. Remember we set some High Temperature recording last week. Well napa and santa rosa reaching 79 degrees today. It is still dry. High pressure moving in. Weve seen the storm system staying away from the bay area. But that is about to change. Were seeing High Pressure quickly moving toward the east and for the weekend it allows tor cooler air to come in. Also very spotty light rain. This is not what is really going to change us as we go into next week. The next storm system right behind that will bring in more widespread rain which is good news, at least we are seeing some rain chances in the forecast. It looks pretty promising once again. Weve seen it running consistently in the computer models. And the rain well see this weekend, not to worry, just a few hundreds of an inch. And our temperatures coming back. To upper 70s and low 80s and in the weekend only reaching about 60 degrees. With a lot of clouds and some breezy winds and spotty sprinkles here and there. Mike, youre seeing the backup out of oakland. And it is building more quickly. I think think put on the metering lights a little slower. We talked about the issue in San Francisco. Slowing things down. The disabled vehicle has cleared from ninth Street Civic Center and it is slow across the span and build up on the oakland side. Speed sensors turning to orange now getting off the skyway. Improvement overall. We have another disabled vehicle or a hazard reported around the richmond side of the richmondsan rafael bridge but no slowing over the last five minutes so that is good news. And through contra costa county, for the most part everything is fine. But south toward alameda count and livermore, right at marsh creek where we measure travel time it is just about 20 minutes and slowing at the bend right here and then narrows but also a disabled vehicle near the entrance to highway 4 so that may be an issue out of Discovery Bay and brentwood and byron. The rest of the day at speed. The peninsula and the south bay and the east bay. Back to you. 5 22 and a midair scare. This comes to an end.

Eight deputy took or shared photos including one trainee who showed them off at a local bar. It is still not clear what discipline they will face. Thats because the Sheriffs Department does not yet have specific policies in place for that. The sheriff said this is about to change. The behavior is inexcusable, inappropriate and people are grieving for the loss of their loved ones, to have that on top of what theyve already gone through is just unconscionable. Now the scandal has left bryants widow more shaken up. The sheriff is not ruling out firing the deputies involved. New video to hold your breath. A small plane making an Emergency Landing near phoenix, arizona. Look at that. It did it without landing gear. But very impressive. The pilot made a smooth and safe belly landing, days after a similar incident in san jose on friday, the pilot of a small plane Emergency Landing friday right here at the san jose airport. Seconds end up turning into two weeks but finally the Leaning Tower of dallas is no more. The wrecking ball finally demolished the accidental tourist attraction and it kind of turned into an internet sensation. You may remember it was supposed to take a few seconds but one stubborn elevator staff refused to cooperate s take sels but as you said that is kind of sad.
