Tonight the chair of ucsfs department of medicine says too many people let their guard down when many businesses reopened. I think its fine that we opened up. I think it was a reasonable thing for us to do given how well we were doing. But i think too many people saw that as the starting gun for not being as careful as they needed to be, not wearing masks. Dr. Walk ter says if things do not improve, we could end up backsliding and sheltering at home once again. San Francisco Mayor london breed has tested negative for covid19.

In advance of a big protest planned for martinez this weekend, some businesses you can see there are boarding up their storefronts. Theyre afraid anarchists and other Fringe Groups may cause a lot of trouble. The protest was organized by two local groups inspired by the black lives matter movement, and they expect thousands to march with them. Police say White Supremacy groups indicate they will also show up. Last weekend a black lives matter street mural in downtown martinez was defaced, sparking several heated confrontations. The two vandals, you can see them there in the red shirts, are charged with a misdemeanor hate crime. The president ial election is less than four months away and experts predict long lines and days of delays to find out who won. For the first time in california history, all counties can vote by mail, but are local election offices prepared to handle 15 million mailin ballots. Stephen stock took a look at the governors proposed plan. Reporter vote by mail is already very familiar here in california, where 70 of voters use the mail or vote centers when they voted in record numbers for a president ial primary back in march. Even so, the governors bovote mailman date and the covid crisis will cost millions more in money and manpower come this november. For contra costa countys 660,000 registered voters, this years president ial election will be unlike any other. The trains rolling, so were prepared for worst case right now. Reporter its a first for debbie cooper, who will supervise her first election as the new county clerk recorder and registrar. We realize theres going to be more ballots than in the past. So we have to process and its going to take longer. Reporter longer to process and count, more vote by mail ballots. Because of covid safety concerns, governor gavin newsom ordered all 58 california counties to send every voter a mailin ballot whether the counties were prepared to do so or not. The order was meant to provide every registered california voter a safe alternative to showing up at the polls in person. Its going to be a new experience. Reporter i think youre going to have a significant risk of if not human error, at least human confusion because youre trying to staff up beyond your normal capacity. Reporter already 14 california counties including san mateo, napa, and santa clara are voter choice counties. In other words, theyve done away with the traditional precinct systems and vote by mail or drop off ballots at vote centers. But covid will still cost those counties more in extra staffing, spacing to keep distance, and hardware like plexiglas installed in offices. Were going to have to work hard to make sure voters know to expect their ballot in the mail in advance of the election. Reporter california secretary of state alex padilla oversees the election process. His office estimates it will cost at least another 129 million statewide because of the coronavirus. We have the baseline infrastructure and capacity established in each county. We just need to ramp up whether its additional sorting equipment. Maybe its additional staffing, and frankly Voter Education is going to be a key component here. Reporter as for the other 44 nonvoters choice counties like alameda, San Francisco, and contra costa, governor newsoms order means they have to send ballots by mail to all their registered voters but also locate and staff the usual voting precincts. So were determining the staffing needs. Were trying to locate poll workers, which of course is a challenge. Reporter while the impact is likely to be minimal in contra costa, where about 75 of residents already vote by mail, it will still cost the county what cooper estimates to be another extra 1. 8 million. It puts us in a situation of having to have 65 inperson voting locations, which we think at least right now during this pandemic is dangerous. Reporter similar orders have been issued by other governors in states across the country, meaning covid19s impact on the election could be substantial. We really have no choice. We have to make this transition. Reporter this stanford law professor has studied american law for years. We need to prepare for this election like we would for a natural disaster, like an earthquake or a hurricane. Reporter he published this paper. I think this is a turning point for certain states. Reporter he warns that covids impact make other threats like sicyber threats an misinformation all the more severe. The problem is the electoral environment is one that is particularly nerveracking these days and characterized by polarization. So theres very little room for error. Reporter another likely impact that everyone we talked to for this story warned us about, delays in the results of the upcoming november election. Because mailin ballots have to be opened, sorted and counted, that can take a lot longer than in the past. So if the election is close, it could be several days or even a week or longer before a winner is named. Im stephen stock, nbc bay area news. Thank you, stephen.

Janelle, one of the highlights of my week was jeff ranieri during our 6 00 newscast talking about the gopher problems he has in his garden eating away at some of your plants. You had us entertained, jeff. Oh, man. You know, it was fun to share onair, but those gophers, man, they go right for the roots. So as i said earlier, a little tip for those of you at home. The chicken wire does not work when you wrap the roots around it. You got to get that mesh wire, that super, super fine there so theres really no way the moles or gophers can get into those plants. I posted it on my instagram if you wanted to see it. Lets get you into tomorrows forecast. If youre doing some planting, maybe wrapping some new shrubs, trees, in wire to keep the gophers out, we got a great forecast for that. Were going to start off the morning with temperatures in the low to mid 60s. A little fog near the coast, also the bay to start. No nothing too major. 63 for the peninsula. East bay, 64 degrees. San francisco, patchy fog and 589. The north bay at 62. Temperatures will be warm for the afternoon. Theres no real big adjustments on the heat we expect. Down here in the south bay we have 89 in san jose. Thats from a little bit of a breeze off the bay. It should keep you out of the 90s. But look at east san jose, morgan hill and gilroy. Youll be in the low 90s tomorrow. Hottest weather again as you get farther away from the ocean breeze. Thats some of the usual suspects here of livermore, concord, pittsburg, also danville in the mid90s. Closer to the water, check it out. Oakland at 76. Real, real nice place to be. 85 in palo alto. And then lets go up into San Francisco. Here comes more 60s. The marina at 60. Winds gusting out of the west at 19, so take your vakt if youre headed there. Then down towards the mission, a little milder, 68 degrees. Marin, napa, sonoma counties i have you up into the low 90s for napa, sonoma and novato. Mill valley at 84. My extended forecast in San Francisco continues with 60s the next seven days. We get a little bit of fog here and there but overall real beautiful weather. And for the inland valleys, were going to the 90s here right into the weekend. Then notice as we roll through early next midweek, we do have some 90s coming our way as temperatures will drop. Right now no extended 100s coming back into the forecast, and that is the good news right now. Raj and janelle, it means i have a lot of work to do tomorrow. I think ive got eight or ten plants. Ive got some mesh wire i got online a while ago. Im going to get busy on that. These gophers are not going to win. Ill tell you that. I hope bill murray is watching somewhere tonight. Thanks, jeff. Up next, a warning to new and expecting mothers. What scientists are discovering about possibly transmitting the coronavirus to their newborns. Happening now, california is suing the trump administration. The lawsuit claims the federal government cannot require International Students to take inperson classes in the fall amid this pandemic. The suit challenges the new rule that says International Students have to change schools or possibly be deported if their university only offers online classes. Were back in a moment. A new study shows pregnant women who get infected with covid19 can pass the virus to their babies. Italian researchers studied 31 pregnant women who all were infected with the virus and later gave birth.

Only two of the babies had tested positive for covid19 at birth, but neither became ill. New numbers released today show more than a Million People lost their jobs this week. Small businesses are banking on a combination of adapting to the new normal and help from the state and feds to survive. Now, one example, the prune yard cinemas in campbell. The owner set up Outdoor Dining to try to stay afloat and bring back employees. Yep, you can eat right there at the movie theater. He says they laid off 118 people in march. Right now they can only afford to bring back about a dozen of them. Okay. Were back in a moment with an update from buster posey. Why he might not join the giants this season. Stay with us. Motorcycle riders love the open road. And geico loves helping riders get to where theyre going, so to help even more, geico is giving new and current customers a fifteen percent credit on their motorcycle policies with the geico giveback. And because were committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. The geico giveback. Helping riders focus on the road ahead.
