Still some arent complying. So the county says its time to take action. This is the scene at a clayton starbucks today where a worker says a covidrelated case closed the store to close temporarily for a deep cleaning. As Contra Costa County deals with a spike in covid19 cases county leaders say enough is enough. We have been in this since march 16th. By my count, thats four months tomorrow and you should know that this is serious and we need everyone to cooperate. Reporter county supervisor Karen Mitchoff said its time to step things off businesses are Wearing Masks or practicing social distancing so the board is considering passing an ordinance that will allow county staff to start writing tickets. We feel a citation, a ticket, will do the trick. You know . 100 fine, 200 fine. We are not looking to put businesses out of the order. We want them to continue but they have to continue in a safe manner. I think that writing the tickets to the people that arent complying, if that helps us get out of this faster then im all for it. Reporter people say they get upset when they see others not doing their part. Bakery worker ben said it is not pleasant confronting customers who refuse to cover their faces. Working here im not one to battle an opinion. I just want to serve you cookies. You know . So if thats tough. Thats tough. Reporter the board of supervisors will vote on the proposal next week. If it passes the ticket writing should begin soon. In Contra Costa County, jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. Thank you. This is happening because the heres the latest. In the before, more cases. Alameda county, almost 8,500. Santa clara county more than 11,000 new cases statewide since yesterday. Thats the second highest number since the pandemic began. 140 new deaths also reported. Another near record. Even with the rise in cases a bay area county just given the green light from the state to reopen some businesses. The state approved Alameda Countys request to reopen zoos and allow for Outdoor Dining. In union city the decision means more than just a chance to go and eat out. Reporter here at this restaurant in union city the general manager says the states decision to allow Outdoor Dining in Alameda County means she can now bring back laid off staff. Employees are gearing up to serve dozens of customers in this large patio in union city. Now that the state has given Alameda County the green light to reopen Outdoor Dining. Its so exciting. Reporter last week the state banned all Outdoor Dining in the county and placed it on the monitoring list with a surge in covid19 cases. Some restaurants opted to defy the order and serve outdoors, all adding up to a lot of confusion. But some Restaurant Managers say now that the state has given them clear guidance they can beef up staffing. It is great because theres no gray area. This is like, yes, you can do outdoors and we can bring everybody back. We can tell them, hey, youre going to be on the schedule. Reporter despite the states decision here at rice triangle, some employees are hesitant about allowing Outdoor Dining. I think we need to get very careful with that situation. Reporter today the state also gave the oakland zoo the go ahead to reopen to the public after four months. Everybody on the staff is just thrilled. We are so excited to get to have visitors back and everything really getting back to close to as normal as we can. Reporter zoo ceo joel parrot said the states Decision Just in time. The zoo had already spent most of the reserve funds and was in jeopardy of closing forever. Now they plan to reopen to the general public july 29th. Nbc bay area news. A big announcement from the bay areas Largest School district, San Francisco unified will begin the next school year online. Campus will be closed. In a letter to the school community, the superintendent explained they made the decision after discussions with health leaders, families and staff members. The letter goes on to say the district announcing that for now to prepare for time in midaugust. We spoke with a parent saying it is not easy but it makes the most sense under these circumstances. I was disappointed at first because the kids already wanted to go back to school and see friends. Already got a backpack. Got a backpack already but it is for the best. I prefer them not to get sick or, you know, just i rather be cautious. Whatever your thoughts is, it is so challenging for parents here saying the kids adapted pretty well to distanced learning and many say that it can isolate and abandon children, especially for economically disadvantages families. The district said theyre working on a plan to improve that and hopefully to move to a hybrid model with in person and Distance Learning as conditions improve. South bay Largest School district students going back to classroom . The upward trend of covid19 cases might make t reporter it didnt matter who i talked to. San jose unified district leaders, students or parents, everyone said they would prefer cool in classrooms if its safe but after backing away from that plan friday because of teacher resistance, the association points out coronavirus numbers have only gotten worse. The more we learned since friday the more adamant they are that it is not safe to return. Reporter theyre going over the survey of parents on the preference. The Vice President of the school board said the communitys view definitely matters and acknowledged in his opinion the spike in cases makes it tough to avoid Distance Learning. Thank goodness we are not arizona or texas or florida but things arent good right now in the county and trending in the wrong direction. Reporter state superintendent Tony Thurmond echoed the sentiments. If school opened tomorrow most of the districts would open in Distance Learning. We should have a laserlike focus on Distance Learning well instead of four or five scenarios. Reporter they said the survey show very mixed feelings with large percentages both for returning to class and Distance Learning. In that case, the result of the survey could be released as early as tomorrow and may only make a final decision more difficult. In san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. All this information, schools or restaurants or salons, it is changing and confusing. We have broken it down for you by county online. Whats open and whats not. Check out the chart county by county at nbc bay area. Com. We have been telling you about the surge of cases but also what we havent told you about is a surge in hospitalizations. Want to show you numbers of the bay area. The blue number represents the number of Covid Patients that are actually in the icu. You can see it was up here at peak and then in april peaking right here and then started to go down, about 400 cases in the hospitals. The number plummeted, kept doing well in may and now more than 600 cases in the hospital in july. Thats way beyond the other peak and a similar trend in california, hospitalizations hee for the state, you saw here starting in april, stayed pretty flat through may and june and in july started to go up again. We have seen a surge and now more than 6,000 Covid Patients are in the hospital. Double what it was just four weeks ago and as far as los angeles county, they report that the hospitals are already feeling overwhelmed. A key data point we have been tracking californias Positivity Rate is double what it was just a month ago. This is the percentage of people tested who came back positive. Right now, we are at about 7 . If it gets any higher we could see the governor shut down the state again like he did back in march. Janelle wang regions us with these details. We are getting close to a shutdown. The cdc said since the beginning that states Positivity Rates gets o be under 10 . Overwhelmed and we could see things get out of control. Governor newsom has always set a lower Positivity Rate of 8 . Right now, the states Positivity Rate is at 7. 1 . Over the weekend, it briefly hit 8 and that is the main reason why on monday the governor shut down many indoor operations statewide including the Indoor Dining and bars. The governor said hell shut down more things if the number gets higher so why is californias threshold of 8 versus the cdcs recommendation of 10 . I asked nbcs medical contributor john torres about that. I think what he is doing is hesout is 10 , the number when Community Starts to run into problems. Above 10 they say there are issues right now and need to be careful to take control measures to make sure it drops and i think he is saying, okay, going from 7 to 8 , the logical step is going to go 9 and 10 before we get it under control because any exposure today doesnt show up for a couple of weeks and i think trying to nip it in the bud, get it taken care of right now before they go up because getting to 10 and shuts down then it will get to 12 when things really start happening and so he is trying to make sure its early enough so when that swing goes up, that curve goes up makes sure to shut down early and hopefully not going up as much as if he didnt shut it down. The number to aim for . A Positivity Rate of less than 5 for 14 days. That is the recommendation by the World Health Organization for things to reopen up again. Governor newsom this week shut down many indoor operations again for three weeks hoping to get that Positivity Rate back down to less than 5 . So well see if that happens. These are the steps he is taking. If we see the Positivity Rate going up again he could shut down more things like we saw back in march. A little bit later well talk about cal train in crisis, running out of money. Ridership down 90 and the Transit Agency says it could stop running in october if it doesnt get more help. Ill have that story later in the show. Lot of this is disheartening because were digressing in the last couple of weeks. Thank you. Still ahead here at k6, court is in session. Two bay area students accused of murder in italy. Well tell you what happened at the trial today. Plus berkeleys Police Department defunding, a marathon meeting. What does it mean for the city and the Police Officers . Well break it down for you. Im chief meteorologist jeff rannieri ill show you why the skies were hazy coming up. Change coming to the streets of berkeley. The city council with a plan to stop using Police Officers to make traffic stops. The move could cost the police half of its budget. And thats just the beginning. Nbc bay area scott budman breaks down the changes for you. Reporter the Early Morning decision by the city council aims to flat out change how police operate in the city of berkeley. Law enforcement is heinously overpaid and overresourced and a danger to our citizens, particularly the black, brown and unhoused neighbors. Reporter the city is moving forward with a plan to take Traffic Enforcement out of police hands for unarmed City Employees and also stop responding to Homeless Outreach and Mental Health Crisis Management calls. Instead, the city to create an unarmed Community Safety coalition and pay for it by cutting the Police Budget in half. I think we can do this softly. Reporter the mayor approves of the plan but admits there will be disagreement. When a person in the hills thinks is safety may not be what someone in the flatlands thinks and we need that conversation around health and safety for the community. Reporter word on the street is also mixed. Absolutely. When you are in an environment where everybody wants success it works. And this is a town where they want success. Because its not safe everywhere all around and may come across circumstances where we are not able to handle certain situations. Reporter two weeks ago berkeley partially defunded the Police Department. Last nights vote means the proposal has cleared a key hurdle and not a done deal yet. The final vote is likely months away. We reached out to the berkeley Police Department for comment and it responded with a statement saying it doesnt know how all of this will change what they do but they insist their priority is the safety of the people here. In berkeley, scott budman, nbc bay area news. Dramatic testimony today in the trial of two bay area students charged with killing a Police Officer in italy. Finnegan lee elderly and gabriel were arrested last july after a drug deal gone wrong. Prosecutors say elder stabbed and killed an officer. The officers partner testified today about trying to stop the blood which was pouring out like a fountain according to him after it happened. But his testimony was interrupted today when the officers fatherinlaw collapsed in court. In your next grocery run, beef up by double digits. Nbc bay areas Melissa Garcia reports. I buy meat like every day and noticed the prices go up. Reporter George Hernandez has two growing kids at home which means hes making lots of visits to his local supermarket in san jose to keep the fridge stocked. My son like can finish a hamburger so like hes he loves the burgers. Reporter georges wallet is getting thinner. Thats what i noticed the most, the ground beef. Reporter the cost of food is going up from the labor department. Since last year, the price of beef up by 25 . Fruits and vegetables are up more than than 2 . Nonalcoholic drinks up more than 5 . Everything is up. Not just the meat return as california rolls back on reopening, the pressure is mounting for families dealing with layoffs and furloughs to put food on the table. Many show up at food banks like Second Harvest of Silicon Valley forking over more money to meet the growing demand. The cost of the food were purchasing increased 25 overall. Reporter when supplies have run out, they got creative. A big shortage of rice and had to substitute in tortillas. Reporter whether or not the economy starts to reopen and people get the jobs back, Second Harvest is expecting the need for food to be this high for the next year. In san jose, melissa colorado, nbc bay area news. That is a long time still to come. Lets bring in jeff ranieri and yesterday, jessica, you were talking about close to the week. Now we are getting close to the weekend. Yeah yeah. Its just inching and inching closer. I know a lot of us at least the weekend sometimes lately feels a little bit more normal for us and were going to get warmer weather for the weekend but i think we can handle that. Lets get you good to go on the microclimate forecast. We have the hot air moving in from the south and we have fog at the coastline and if you had any hopes for any rainfall, not going to happen. Look at the storm track way up near canada. Another thing we had been following today down at the lower levels is some smoke from the mineral fire, now at least 11,000 acres near fresno and pushed up to haze toward the bay area today. The smoke wasnt very thick and you may have noticed it looking off towards the distance and we still will have some of that haze tomorrow with an air quality advisory in effect. Besides that, fog for the morning. 7 00 a. M. , north bay, peninsula and the bay. Gilroy with cloud cover and then by tomorrow afternoon the sunshine away from the coastline. Temperatures overall will get up to 80 in santa rosa. 89 livermore. 86 in san jose and that cool ocean breeze keep us down to 61 in half moon bay. Coming up in 25 minutes ill have more on the specific air quality for the bay area and maybe just maybe i can wake up lucy for lucy wednesday. The fans at home want to make it a thing and trying to get her up from a nap. It is a thing. It is a thing for sure. She is kind of been ditching us lately i have to say. She is over for us, for sure. I know. Thank you, jeff. Up next, stopped in the tracks. Cal train could be forced to shut down. The financial lifeline the agency was hoping for that didnt come through. Janelle wang here. Cal train stopped in its tracks. Thats what the Transit Agency is saying tonight if it doesnt get more funding. It was hoping for a funding lifeline, basically a sales tax measure on the November Ballot but in order to get it on the November Ballot three counties must vote to put it there. San francisco, san mateo and santa clara counties, the rail line of the three counties cal train runs through and San Francisco is not on board. Last night was a key deadline and the board of supervisors didnt bring it up for discussion. Cal train is not happy, desperate for funding. Ridership is down 90 and may not survive. Today the San Francisco board of supervisors getting a lot of heat for not even introducing the measure last night at the meeting and today the supervisors gave their explanation. Our citys facing a 1. 7 billion deficit right now. Our own Municipal Transportation Agency is suffering. We are in a crisis. We have a number of taxes on our ballot for november. I cannot support a tax for cal train here in San Francisco with these issues and due to the fact that San Francisco has no true voice on the joint powers board. This would be true taxation without representation. Its inconceivable and irresponsible that nothing was introduced and now may be in a future without cal train. Cal traen says it has enough money until october but after that the future is uncertain but San Francisco is not budging saying theyre not going to pour money into a rail line when its leaders and voters dont have a voice on that board that oversees cal train so it seems like theres a standoff right now. Nobody is budging. Cal train does have a chance to get state funding and federal funding but right now they say its unlikely because the whole country is facing a financial crisis and getting hit hard in the pocketbooks. Thats a big issue for the city and the peninsula and Silicon Valley. Thank you. Up next, the Trump Administration under more scrutiny tonight over an unprecedented order to give hospitals across the country. The debate over schools, is it safe for students to return to campus . Well ask an expert. A pediatrician joins us for a live interview. Right now at 6 30, coronavirus drama behind the scenes at the white house. It started with a blistering oped by the president s economic adviser accusing dr. Fauci of being, quote, wrong about everything i have interacted with him on. In a new interview dr. Fauci called the attacks bizarre and wrong and saying ultimately they hurt the president. This all happening as we just learned minutes ago that the u. S. According to nbc now has more than 3. 5 million cases of coronavirus. That is the backdrop for new concerns tonight from many of the Public Health officers anxious of a new Health Policy from the white house. President trump traveling to atlanta today, georgia is mired in mired in the one of the worst outbreaks and the purpose but infrastructure and not covid19. As cases surge in 41 states there are fears that Critical Data could be harder to find because the administration is ordering hospitals to bypass the cdc and send all patient information to a federal database washington instead to streamline here the system according to the white house. This might be perceived as political and it could be political. The cdc is sidelined and this is just another example of it. The cdc director said he is fine with the change and issuing a grim warning predicting the combination of flu season and the coronavirus to make this fall and winter one of the most difficult times in u. S. Public health history. A lot to digest here and stressful for many families and teachers, will the kids be allowed back on campus . If not how damaging will it be . National academies of sciences, engineering and medicine said Online School is ineffective for those who are young and with special needs. Saying they need to reprioritize opening and recommend students and staff to wear face masks and classrooms with social distancing so a lot of mixed messages. Health or okacademics . Parents in a tough spot. Joining us is associate director of pediatrics at usf. I ask you as a journalist and parent, what is your guidance of kids returning to campus . Yeah. Thank you for asking. It is a really important question right now. For exactly the reasons you just outlined which is that its hard for kids to do Distance Learning, particularly the Elementary Schools but in the setting of rising cases, its also hard if we cant do it in a safe kind of way so i think that cases need to be either declining or flat and we need to actually have a lot of good Testing Capacity in place and i think that it is possible, though, to reopen schools under those circumstances and it should be an extremely high priority for us. Doctor, theres a Socio Economic debate. Working or Single Parents or no internet at home. Is it worth it, the health risks, to go to school for these parents and families . I think that as a society we can set it up so that the health risks are mitigated. It is covid19 so we cant make ate zero risk experience but i think with theres good data globally that people can do it, that other countries have done it. And the real quekeys are masks, physical distance and small, stable cohorts of kids. The data show most of the kids getting it from adults rather than kids bringing it home. Lets tack about health risks for certain age groups here. Low risk to high risk. Lets talk about Elementary School students. Are they a lot different than middle school or High School Students . Covid19 is really different from almost every virus we know of. We usually think of kids as being snotty and theyre the ones that pass along the illness to the adults. The surprising part and important part of covid is Elementary School kids are much less likely to get the infection and less likely to transmit it. So as we think about those kids who are most at risk for not being able to learn in Distance Learning and Elementary School kids, theyre less likely to pass it around. High schoolers and middle schoolers begin to transmit more like adults so the interventions or the ways we come back to school are going to be different depending on the age group. Is there guidance to tell the School Districts right now that are debating this decision . What would you tell them . I would say think about your teachers. Advocate for as many resources as you can see in order to get the ability to do good social distancing or physical distancing, to have masks on hand, to have hand hygiene and theres a Testing Capacity piece which is also really important to make it possible for people to feel safe and then also for kids to come back to school because sometimes kids very often are going to have symptoms that look like covid and unless you can get a test to come back to school the guidance is that they have to stay out for a while. So my suggestion to School Districts is work it is a partnership with the teachers and the families. Its doable. Especially if our Community Prevalence are able so get more stable or start to decline. Last question. If we talk three months from now, where are we going to be . Do you think things will be better in the next 90 days . I think a lot depends on the leadership and really, really hopeful that as a nation and also in our local communities that were going to be able to go back to where we were before where we can control the rising prevalence and also then allow for kids to start to go back to school and i do think that Elementary Schools should be able to go back sooner than high schools or middle schools, the theres probably hybrid learning curriculum to have in place for the older age kids but that there should be a real capacity and optimistic of a capacity for Elementary Schools go back. Doctor, thank you for your time tonight and your analysis. We appreciate it. No problem. Thank you for inviting me. Tonight new reports of a covid19 spike inside tesla according to a popular electric vehicle blog. The blog reports that an internal data leak shows 130 tesla employees tested positive for covid19 and more than 1,500 have been exposed to the virus. Most of the cases are reportedly at the fremont factory. Electric claims it obtained the data of a company source. Workers at tesla accused them before of punishing workers who refuse to work over concerns of the virus. Tesla ceo in may defied a bay area order. Neither tesla or the Alameda Health department responded to requests for comment there. A few dozen government workers will be out of a job. The Supreme Court gave 52 employees layoff notices today. The Union Representing the workers says it was a nasty surprise in the process of representing pay cuts. Tom saga with the superior Court Professional Employees Association said it targeted some of the most vulnerable employees. The workers in our bargaining unit skew more female and they are the lowest paid workers in the court system and so taking a pay cut would have been a dramatic hit to their ability to survive in the most expensive area in the country but to take a pay cut and then also have a group of folks just laid off, as well, just was very heartless. The union is meeting with Court Administration to continue negotiations tomorrow. Up next, billionaires hacked online. The scheme thats tar getting some of the wealthiest, most high profile people in the world. Joe biden, barack obama and elon musk among the prominent people who had the twitter accounts hacked. Boyne scammers took control and promised to double all payments sent to a bitcoin address. Similar tweets appeared on the accounts of apple and wendys as well as other companies. You see that there from bill gates. Elon musk there. Twitter told the users it is limiting the ability to tweet and reset passwords while it looks into the security breach. You better get moving to file your taxes. If you remember the irs and california state extended the deadline to july 15th because of the pandemic. All federal and state tax returns must be postmarked by the end of the day. If you are unable to file your taxes today you can always apply for an extension. That would give you until october 15th to file your return. Making it in the bay, this is the series that chronicles the challenges of living and surviving here and bay area renters among the most stressed out in the nation because the rents are so darn high. To live in some areas a low or middle income worker to hold the equivalent of four fulltime jobs. National low Income Housing Coalition Reports a wokker to earn 43 an hour for a 2 bedroom place in alameda or contra costa counties. 57 an hour for a place in Santa Clara County and living in San Francisco or marin or san mateo counties is 64 an hour. Outrageous. We love the beautiful weather and had really nice weather lately. It has been so gorgeous. Really not too hot.

You asked for em, so tiny tacos are back for good. Grab a box of 15 or try them loaded. Get em now with no contact delivery. Nbc bay area responds to a man who needed help getting the money back from an airline. Consumer investigator chris and the team found the lesson for all of us who fly. Nobody is right now, though, right . Nobody right now. Bob wanted to fly and he was set to fly from oakland to honolulu back in june. Bob wanted to cancel and get a full refund. Hawaiian airlines was only offering a flight credit instead. He didnt want that and turned to us. We noticed that Hawaiian Airlines had changed his trip on him. Instead of flying from oakland to honolulu they had him going from sfo to honolulu and that was our in because we knew that in rules 21 and 24 of the contract of carriage thats the thing nobody reads, we found that the refund is the passengers sole discretion when the airline makes a significant booking change like swapping your departure airport so we sent what Ryan Airlines a note and quickly responded and said thank you for sharing this with us, chris. Confirming that we have contacted our guest and provided a refund, 442. 80 back in bobs pocket. Airlines are constantly changing the flight times and during the pandemic the changes have been especially frequent as airlines pair back the schedules. Some by hours or days and in bobs case one airport to another. It is vital to check the details from time to time. And make sure the carrier has an email address to send updates. Then when theres a change to their schedule that doesnt fit your schedule pick up the phone, call them. You might have some wiggle room to make changes without a fee or cancel. When i see a cancelation or a flight delay i see an opportunity. You see opportunity. You are a world traveler. Ever been to barbados . No. I have heres your chance. Jessica, you can vouch for it. Work from home there. The idea is for Remote Workers to move there home offices to the caribbean island paradise. The government there is offering oneyear work visas for a price of 2,000.
