M the bay area air thank you for joining us. Blue, blue skies. How much is the sheltering at home really contributing to cleaner air . Well, the sheltering at home is contributing. Many, many less cars on road than we normally see. But its important to remember too, the contributing factor to the good air quality, we just had a weather system that came through and really just pushed forth really clean air. So theres multiple factors but having fewer cars on road playing a major role. We said at it was about 25 . Is that accurate with the shelle at home . Yeah, so the estimates i heard were 20 , 25 . Around tha blpar iould say thats a fair estimate. Can you compare the air quality thi year to the same time last year . The biggest difference . Would you say its because of the fewer cars or maybe the weather system . Are there other factors . That is one of the questions i actual askedur Meteorologist Team about. They are trang to e see how it compes with previs yea. Definily the colors are goiars o play a role. With fewer cars on the road. But this time of year, we usually have e beer air quality in comparison to other portion ps of the year. As of now, its hard to say exactly what all the sources are. Bu a qlity is impoefing sorry, thears being off the road. And its also industry the industry levels are also improving and there are fewer people who are burning wood.

That is whea what we are basing it off of. We really get really good weather and less fewer cars on the road and you can see before we go i know air quality is your expertise. What do you think the shelter at home will do . Do you think it will encourage people to change their has been byes . Commute less. Encourage businesses to have their employees who are working from home . It appears to be working well . You know, we as a government agency, we cant up comment on that specifically. But i will say having fewer people on the roads is improving air quality. I know its been a big adjustment for a lot of people, for us personally, working at home has been an adjustment. Its been pretty positively met. But for us, we just want to continue to protect public health. We have inspecters out there, and they are still inspecting and p still providing permits to businesses.

And bonnie, out more than 6,000 dollars for a Family Reunion that is too risky to hold. I dont think its fair more me, my family to have to give up this money for something were not able to utilize. Brbo sent this note saying it encouraged homeowners and Property Owners to adopt more flexible cancellation policies and to offer full refunds. Encouraged but did not require. Bonnies host refused to honor the 6,000. And e we turned to vrbo. E we believe the policy strikes the best balance for vacation homes owners and property mansionment. And they offered bonnie a 100 credit for a future stay. But they have to book with the same host and that is not what they feel is fair. Vrbos policy differs from other places. Hilton and marriott are giving people money back. Airbnb is offering refunds too.
